    Listener Feedback: What Is One Thing You Want to Accomplish In Life?

    Emile Nightshade: Going back to filmmaking, my biggest goal that I would like to accomplish is to make one very specific feature-length movie. I've been writing it for the last 5 years to get the story just right (it's almost there), but the day I get to make it, I will be happy. I may make more movies as time goes on, but I'm itching to tell this specific story above all else.

    Carter Scottland Allen: I tried thinking of things that I'd like to accomplish in my life and there are plenty of career desires but I'd like to just always get better at being a good person, helping others, being a better boyfriend, sibling, son etc. As for a crazy idea for something I'd like to do many many years from now...Daviana and i both want to open an animal sanctuary...I specifically want tons of cows!

    Kelly: Who I raise is my biggest goal to accomplish. It is what I care about most. I try my best to make sure they are good, happy, healthy, well mannered, and productive members of society… we shall see lol I have my work cut out for me with that youngest child 😂

    Journal of the Scotts: Success in life for me isn’t anyone accomplishment. Overall just want the best for friends, family, and feel good about the fun I had on the ride of life. For shows have you seen “Our Father” on Netflix yet? Found my self like Luke Skywalker saying Nooooooo! Just when you think things are nuts it gets worse and worse. Great documentary and my only complaint is I feel like there are certain aspects they skipped over.

              • Brickitect - Reliable.  If you're in my life, you know you can count on me.  Your McDonald's story was very similar to ours this past weekend.  We waited about 45 minutes for breakfast.  So much for fast food!  They had a sign up looking for help at $11 per hour.  I guess you get what you pay for...or you don't.
              • Emile Nightshade - I would think it's loyalty. Growing up, I've always tried to be loyal to my friends. I was extremely introverted as a kid, and although I didn't always hang out with my friends, I tried to be there and offer support as best I could. Even though that bit me in the butt a few times in the past, I do still stay loyal to those close to me.
              • Carter Scottland Allen - My best friend, Daviana would say my best trait is probably my persistence and focus towards my dream job/goal. My videos are getting better, received my first 100 subs, just had my first of many Live Streams, Patreon coming soon, housing/job opportunities opening up in Atlanta! Life is good and I'm glad to have Builder Buds/Ronnie's Reflection to give me some company and focus while in my job that I'm not so much a fan of. Another great episode 👌🏻
              • Dr Greene - I'm hesitant to answer this week's question as I don't want to speak for other people. But, I would like to think that my mates see my helpfulness as my best trait. I try to always look out for those I work with or care about and help wherever I can whenever they've gotten a bit snowed under.
              • Kelly Daniels - I’m going to go with you think my best characteristic trait would be how giving I am. If you ask the girls they will say it’s how I take care of others. I guess both could go hand in hand. I live to help others, it’s both a blessing and a curse. 😅

                        Brickitect: My advice would be to avoid going into debt unless it is necessary (house, car, college, etc) and to do everything you can to pay your debt off as quickly as possible.  I recommend following the advice of Dave Ramsey. Secondary advice: Always have a goal you are working toward. Figure out what you want most in life and take steps to get it. Time and pressure baby!

                        Miguel Leger: My advice would be the same as Palpatine... Dew it! Whatever it is you want to do. Dew it!

                        Kelly Daniels: There will always be users. I’m honestly surprised you engaged with it and pretty sad I missed it. I vote ignore it in the future.

                                What is something funny that has happened to you?

                                Dr. Greene: There was a mildly humorous tale which gave me my scar on my forehead. It was break time in my first year of Infants School (aged 4/5) and I was having a race on the school playground. For some reason during this race, I decided not to turn around a corner and instead ran at full speed into a fence. This was an entirely wooden fence except for a couple of metal bars which supported a gate. Of course, it was the metal bar which I had to run into. I completely cut open my forehead and was bleeding enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. Rather than calling an ambulance, the school decided to phone my Mum to take me to A&E. My Mum was at work at the time and could not drive so she needed to phone my Nan to pick her up. However, my Nan also doesn't drive and my Grandad was also at work so my Nan had to phone my Aunt for a lift. So my Aunt picked up my Nan then my Mum and then me and we finally made it to the hospital. No serious damage was done other than a bloody school uniform and a lasting story.

                                Richard Mincey: My most embarrassing and Hilarious story is, when my best friend Ed and I went to use the bathroom, at a local Mexican restaurant. Somebody was using the stall and we were using the urinals. Homeboy in the stall let out a tiny fart. Edward looked at me and said in a lady voice ooooh. We both busted out laughing, pee went everywhere. I don’t know if you tried peeing while laughing but it’s hard lol. I ran out of that bathroom crying laughing, then ran back in because I forgot to wash my hands. Seriously could not stop laughing, the whole time we were there.

                                Kelly Daniels: I give up… my funny isn’t PG enough 😑

                                Carter Scottland Allen: Too many embarrassing moments

                                -ran into a dump truck on a bike + got concussed

                                -2nd degree burn on my feet and butt from a bathtub

                                -Stitches from scooter hitting me in eyebrow

                                -Mascot fight with another Mascot (Potato vs Eagle)

                                Emile Nightshade: A few years ago, I had an unfortunate accident with our cat. My wife and I had turned in for the night and I was apparently sound asleep. Now, our cat slept with us in bed and she’d normally be calm, however, on this particular night, she wasn’t. My wife was trying to get our cat to calm down and settle in. After a lot coaxing, my wife decided to pull her closer (our cat was pretty cool with us manhandling her), yet this time, she wasn’t and she started backing away from my wife. The more my wife struggled to pull her closer, the further our cat backed away. She backed up so much that she rear-ended my face with her butt. Her tail did not cushion the collision of butthole and nose as that was up in the air like a radio antenna. Naturally, I woke up from this with a weird smell in my nose and the first thing I asked was: “Why do I smell sh*t?”

                                  • Our Brick Life (Martyn): I'd say my interesting talent is having the skills to be a steam locomotive fireman! (I think you call them the engineer over the pond). This involves bringing the loco 'to life' from cold, cleaning and prepping it for the day, and once in steam shovelling coal, filling the tanks with water, and managing the water and steam levels in the boiler, as well as bring a second pair of eyes for the driver, all whilst travelling along the line on the front of a train full of passengers!
                                  • Slippery Bricks: You literally made me pause the video to see if I can perform your skill. Failed 😂. One interesting skill I have is singing the alphabet backwards. Useless skill I say but a fun one. Up to today I don't know anyone around me that can do it. Or they're just being secretive.
                                  • Emile Nightshade: So, my serious skill is being able to create and write a story around anything. I've been able to do that since high school. As for a funny skill (it's more quirky than funny, I guess) is being able to remember film related facts and trivia and never being able to forget it. If only this worked when I was in school...Also, I was expecting a heavier fart sound. Those little toots nearly killed me! 😂😂😂
                                  • Carter Scottland Allen: my interesting skill...YouTube Carter's Mouth Trick...should be the 7th video. It's like 10 seconds long...enjoy 😂 once again another great podcast.

                                  • Brickitect: I love hearing about your reselling activities. So glad to see you making some serious bucks on whatnot and pushing forward with thrifting and flipping. You’re going to crush that debt and what you said about having options is absolutely true.  I’m glad you kept the last part about the Beckett situation and I can confirm as a dad we have all been there. At least I have. It sucks and you feel bad, but everything including parenting (and reselling) is a learning experience and we get better as we go. I look forward to this podcast every week and I can’t wait to see where your life adventure takes you next.

                                            Dr. Greene: When looking for a new flavour of anything, I always go with sweet chili. I've had some sweet chili popcorn crisps before but never found any proper popcorn with that flavour.

                                            Richard Mincey: Dude I would be totally down for some McDouble popcorn…You should definitely check out the show sweet tooth on Netflix it’s amazing. “On a perilous adventure across a post-apocalyptic world, a lovable boy who’s half-human and half-deer searches for  a new beginning with a gruff protector.”

                                            Our Brick Life: This week, I tried Sea Salt and Malt Vinegar flavoured popcorn, which wasn't too bad. We have a bag of salt and chilli flavour to try too! But if I were to try something different I'd quite like strawberries and cream flavour!

                                            Carter Scottland Allen: New flavor of popcorn would be a muddy buddy flavor which probably already exists. I'm not huge on popcorn but I like me some muddy buddies

                                                • Kelly Daniels: I don’t care to go backstage at a concert anymore. I’d much rather just be in the crowd, with you, watching Chris, Tades, Ryan and Brandon on stage. Preferably playing Oldsmobile, Shaylee, Shanel, and Princess Peach.
                                                • Carter Scottland Allen: I would also pick Blink-182 with the original lineup. I was lucky enough to see them in my high school hometown which happens to be a very small city. So I got a poster with my hometown of Ridgefield Washington and blink both on it which was really cool. While we were waiting for the concert to start Mark came out and just started walking through the crowd and talking to everybody waiting so my siblings my girlfriend and I all got to see Mark and very briefly talk to him. I sincerely regret not getting a picture. If Mark Tom and Travis get back together again you can bet I will be buying tickets to that show or multiple.
                                                • Dr. Greene: The band I would go backstage with is Bon Jovi, mainly just to meet Jon himself. Definitely my favourite band, not a song from them that I dislike. I find Jon's voice just so uplifting, always seems to cheer me up. It's also got that pseudo-cowboy vibe.
                                                • Emile Nightshade: Now, if there's one band I could go backstage, it would be any Linkin Park show. I've been a fan of theirs since 2000, and despite all the other bands I listen to, I keep going back to their music.
                                                • Journal of the Scotts: I’m going back stage with Nine Inch Nails, Daft Punk, and Chemical Brothers for sure.
                                                • Richard Mincey: Dude I’m going backstage to hootie and the blowfish. I only wanna be with youuuu! By the way those 3 movies are ok but I’ll name you 3 better. Goofy movie, heavyweights, and surf ninjas.
                                                • Thank you to Brickitect for just saying he listened and providing positivity.

As for being 'Lord Business', I think we all go through the same dilemma and it's a fine balancing act. I've been there and I know that feeling.  


                                                        Slippery Bricks: I seriously don't know how I'd like to choose to die but I definitely agree with you on the fire as that is a no no. The one I don't want is where you're being burned alive like in the show Midnight Mass when the sun comes out. That gave me chicken skin  watching it haha.  


                                                        Kelly Daniels: •My worst fear is being trapped inside Something and drowning… such as driving a car in the rain and hydroplaning off a bridge and into water and being stuck inside while it fills up with water and drowning. I’d prefer to die in my sleep. Go to sleep, dream something happy, and just not wake up. My funeral, can be anywhere. I’m not too picky. I want there to be lots of good food for everyone to eat. I want everyone to talk about all of their favorite memories and maybe even go out and do one last good deed for me.

                                                        • Canadian: I would bring my Dad since he's someone who I really don't ever get sick of being around unlike some of my closest friends lol. He's also someone I have a ton in common with and still love spending time with.I would probably bring some sort off ball as I feel like me and and my Dad could burn hours finding different games to play together.But I would definitely miss not being able to watch live sports and being able to talk to my other friends and family so a TV or Phone could also be a good option.
                                                        • Richard Mincey: I would bring my wife and a plane. Just so my wife and I could spend some quality time together, and so I can show off my manly survival skills. Then we hop on the plane and go back to our wonderful son Noah. I’m not ready to leave my boy. He needs his daddy to help guide him in life, and build him up when he’s down.
