What is one of your favorite topics of conversation?

Brickiteck: My favorite topic of conversation is YouTube content creation....just ask my wife!  As my "business partner" I'm always filling her in on all of my ideas, plans, stats, etc.  She tolerates my obsession and for that I am very thankful!

Michael A: Ronnie probably knows this from following me on twitter - I can talk about politics and issues all day, sometimes to an unhealthy point. One of my resolutions is to do that less. But the answer is politics and social/societal issues.

What is something you do differently than most people?

Richard: One thing that I do definitely then everyone else is, I fight imaginary bad guys when I’m excited about something lol. It cracks my son up and he starts doing it too it’s awesome.

Carter: I guess something I do differently might be kinda fun or funny to witness...but when I'm getting ready for the day or for an event or really just any time I go somewhere I hype myself up with weird noises(woop woop, shooby dooby, alright alright alright) I can't describe it but may record it sometime...the only negative from that is people will think its fake but its genuinely just me hyping myself up for the day or even work.

Brickitect: I watched my brother in law push my nephews into sports they didn’t want to play and ultimately they ended up sticking with them and enjoying them. We went a different route with Clarkman. He did tee ball and soccer and wasn’t really interested or gifted in either sport. Some people have gifts in other areas outside of hitting balls and running places. I say give it a season or two and if you’re little dude isn’t loving it, let him follow other passions.

What is one thing you expect from a friendship?

Kelly: A safe space and coffee

Richard: What I look for in a friend is you to be there for me when I’m going through something. If I need help moving you volunteer, if I’m heartbroken you take me bowling and we talk crap about my ex to make me feel better. But this friendship goes both ways. If you need a moving buddy I’m there.

What is an issue not enough people are talking about

Michael A: I'm going to get a little personal but I think what a lot of people in the real world and outside the news are not talking about enough is the hate the LGBTQ+ community is facing right now. Books relating to LGBTQ+ issues being banned in schools, trans kids being attacked, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't even tell you how many times I get called a groomer on the daily on social media simply for existing and living my life as an openly gay man.

Most days I can ignore it but sometimes it really drags on my mental health and I need to log off. I should be allowed to simply exist without being told I'm harming kids...

Sorry if I brought down the mood.

Hope for what the future holds for you:

Journal of the Scotts: I’m with you on hope for future…keep it going without too many curve balls.

What is an issue that you think not enough people are talking about?

Make $750 Per Day - "We become what we think about most of the time, and that's the strangest secret." _Earl Nightingale

Journal of the Scotts: The news shapes us. And agree on the weapons, it's insane we don't crazy regulate weapons. It's unnecessary and the commentary to defend it generally isn't strong. One thing I'm shocked people don't talk more about is how we forget about what is going on in the world. The news is shaping this as well. Ukraine is a bigger deal that we'll ever know in our lifetime. Think the same attitude about the right to bear arms is going to be the thorn in the US side and World (ok to have nukes) for a while.

Best/Worst/Funniest job

Kelly: The worst job I ever had was when I worked for the law firm. I loved everyone there but one specific attorney. This attorney made EVERYONE miserable!! My best job is my current job when things are calm 😂

Emile: My best job is properly the one I currently have. I get to help business owners find success online through their websites, and seeing that success always brings a smile to my face.

The worst job I had was at a very famous record store chain in the mid-2000s. I was in college back then so I needed some money. It was a stress-inducing job where the managers just sucked. I left several months after I started because the owner of that particular store gave me an ultimatum when I couldn't make an inventory day - they closed the store for a day to count and unpack the inventory. She said, verbatim, that I had to make a choice between college and my job. I naturally chose college, and it was a good choice because that whole chain of stores went bankrupt and closed up shop about 5 years later.

The funniest job I had was when I worked at a liquor store just after college. A guy I knew bought this place and he needed someone to help out, so I volunteered. It didn't pay well, but I used that money to hold me over when I started freelancing. It was situated in a really bad part of the city where I grew up, but I met some really cool, truly genuine people when I worked there. Also, we laughed a lot and it didn't really feel like a "job" either, if the makes sense.

Carter: Im lucky enough to say that I really dont have a "worst" job. I guess physically the tree work was grueling but I worked with an extremely nice, efficient, and safe crew. Best job ive had has to be any professional film job I've had. Every experience has been a learning experience no matter what job ive had though. For instance... im doing night shifts at a hotel in order to get film production work during the day...yes my sleep is messed up but I now have some wild hotel stories to incorporate into film as well just the fact that this job allows me to do what i love when im not working. I heard my dad once say that "if you cant get paid to do what you love in the moment, do something that allows you to pursue your love outside of work." This hotel job is doing exactly that for me.

What has been your greatest accomplishment so far?

Carter: Greatest accomplishment is probably the move across the country. We got here pretty quickly but more importantly safely and for lower cost than expected.

Kelly: You may think it’s a cheat, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ my greatest accomplishment will always be who I raise. Nothing in this world gives me a greater sense of accomplishment.

Listener Feedback - what is one personality trait that you admire in others?

Brickitect: After a week of listening, I’m finally caught up and now I can answer the question of the week!  I admire people that are goal driven. It’s so frustrating to want something for someone more than they want it for themselves.  If you want it, you need to make it happen.  We’re all going to witness this on Ronnie Resells this year. Put the time and effort in and the success will follow just like all your goals in 2022. We all believe in you!

Carter: A personality trait I admire in others is selflessness and being more compassionate to those around me.

Pearl was written while Ti West (Director) and the cast and crew were quarantining in preparation for shooting X. Ti asked Mia Goth if she would be up for a prequel film while they were all down there and so he started writing and it was done in 2 weeks. The final film MaXXXine is coming out hopefully this year.

Emile: The personality trait I admire most in other people is confidence. I've had moments in life where confidence failed me, and I've always respected any man or woman who possesses a near infinite well of confidence from which they can tap into. Although, being older, I'm sure we all have moments where confidence has let us down, no matter how much confidence each of us has.

Aidan H: A personality trait I admire most in others is the way some people can be so laid back. I am SUPER calculated with everything I do, I envy those who can just "go with the flow."

Unfortunately, my Steelers did not make the playoffs, but that means less heart attacks over the next few weeks 🤷‍♂

Beckett and dad Saturday adventure

B got a question a day journal for Christmas, and one of the questions was “What do you like to do when you have free time?”

B: “I like to exercise because I want to be super buff”

😂😂😂😂

On Monday when he and I drove to town, out of the blue he said “I wonder where penguin people live?”

“Penguin people? Do you mean penguins?”

“No, people that wear penguin costumes. I fink they live in that ice store because it’s cold.”

(The automatic ice thing across from the tropical snow in Parsons)

Listener Feedback - Resolutions and what was happening the last time you laughed so hard that you cried?

Carter: 2023 Resolution is just simply work on some film productions and it’s already begun! Have my first big budget film job as a Production Assistant in a few weeks. I couldn’t be more excited to shadow some really successful filmmakers. As for the last time I laughed so hard I cried it was watching the film Brian and Charles with Daviana. We both absolutely loved the humor and we’re dying through the entire runtime. Happy New Years!

Kelly: The last time I laughed until I cried was during a FaceTime with my 10 year old. She received a new iPhone for Christmas and had learned how to make many different Animojis. As she was going through them showing me each one, she showed me the one she made of her uncle max. This Animoji was spot on and looked exactly like Max. The way she was talking, things she was saying and facial expressions had me doubled over. This kid’s personality is definitely my favorite. I hope she never loses her personality.

The resale biz

I was in the bathroom and heard some scratching outside the door. B shoved a note underneath and I then I heard him run away. I opened it up and there was a Sonic EXE drawing……. I never know what he wants me to say about those drawings-sometimes if I say it’s scary then he gets upset. So I said “Ooooh I love it- very detailed! Thank you for my note!”

He stomped back in and said “It was a THREAT not a note- didn’t you see the oof?”

He said I was taking too long in the bathroom and he wanted me to make his lunch 😂

Yesterday, he said “I cracked my neck- that’s the worst possible thing that could happen to a human beam” 😂

“I Mean what’s better than that?”

Listener Feedback: What is one of your greatest motivators in life?

Slippery Bricks: I certainly agree with you having to receive words of aspirations. Especially from the ones who are superior to you or you look towards as a role model. It just makes your day and motivates to continue working on the challenges ahead of you.

I'm certainly the type of person who keeps watching the same things over and over again. So I fall behind on new shows and movies. But if you were to ask me the all-time desert island movie I'll bring, I have to say the Delta Force starring Chuck Norris. I loved that movie since I was a kid and still love it today with all of the non-stop great action scenes and the infamous background music. Believe when I say every time that music comes on, it gets your adrenaline pumping.

Emile: So, I may be going a little deep here.

My greatest motivator in life comes from the things that inspire me. It might be something that you or Greg might say in one of your podcasts, or it might be a scene from a movie that motivates me, or a song I hear. That singular word or moment is all the motivation I need to go forth and kick butt.

Aidan H: One of my greatest motivators in life is building and maintaining relationships with people I care about. Without family and friends, this world can become very isolated, so it is a goal of mine to always take care of my people!

Favorite show of 2022: Stranger Things 4

Favorite movie of 2022: The Batman

Kelly: Ok I have figured it out. My biggest motivator is probably going to be my fear of disappointing or letting people down. It drives most aspects of my life.

There you go.

House of dragon or Witcher would be my top shows, I can’t decide.

Fortnite is my favorite, but only because you guys make it fun… aside from the boogie bombs 😑

Movies of the year would be Guardians of the galaxy.
