working hard to make memories, trying to survive the screams and praying to save the american dream.
00:00:08.154 --> 00:00:16.783
Today, on share the struggle, podcast number 224, it's a wedding day, late baby nights and a plea for election day.
00:00:16.783 --> 00:00:19.673
Let me tell you something everybody struggles.
00:00:19.673 --> 00:00:25.131
The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it.
00:00:25.131 --> 00:00:27.547
The choice is completely yours.
00:00:27.547 --> 00:00:33.472
Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life.
00:00:35.301 --> 00:00:41.154
If you find strength in the struggle, then this podcast is for you.
00:00:41.154 --> 00:00:48.088
You have a relationship that is comfortable with uncomfortable conversations.
00:00:48.088 --> 00:00:53.807
Uncomfortable conversations challenge you, humble you and they build you.
00:00:55.540 --> 00:00:58.804
When you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, it all makes sense.
00:01:00.421 --> 00:01:03.972
Most disagreements, they stem from our own insecurities.
00:01:03.972 --> 00:01:08.301
You are right where you need to be.
00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:29.010
What it do, what it hot diggity do.
00:01:29.010 --> 00:01:36.215
Lordy, lordy, I'm so happy, happy, happy to be back with you.
00:01:36.915 --> 00:01:38.396
Lordy, lordy, look who's 40.
00:01:38.975 --> 00:01:40.777
I passed that one a couple years ago, dear.
00:01:40.777 --> 00:01:43.617
You're getting closer to it now than I am.
00:01:43.617 --> 00:01:44.718
You know what I mean.
00:01:44.718 --> 00:01:44.879
Watch it.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:44.998
Watch it of years ago, dear.
00:01:44.998 --> 00:01:45.942
You're getting closer to it now than I am.
00:01:45.942 --> 00:01:46.081
You know what I mean.
00:01:46.081 --> 00:01:46.040
Watch it, watch it.
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.810

00:02:12.991 --> 00:02:15.186
Okay, we are here.
00:02:15.186 --> 00:02:23.360

You can find all things podcast related over to wwwsharethestrugglepodcastcom.
00:02:31.354 --> 00:02:44.692
Yeah, this week I am proudly joined yet again by my lovely, beautiful wife, my blessing bride and my A number one by my side.
00:02:44.692 --> 00:02:53.796
Hey y''all, I thought that with that lead up and intro I gave you, you would have been like just gushing with affection over there.
00:02:53.817 --> 00:03:03.243
You know what I mean no, I'm over here blushing, that's what you said oh you can't see because the lights are off that makes sense just like you, like me in the dark.
00:03:03.305 --> 00:03:04.973
Oh my god, wow, just like you, like me In the dark.
00:03:04.973 --> 00:03:06.947
Oh my god, wow, I'm gonna pop you right in the blinkers.
00:03:06.947 --> 00:03:08.224
Tell you right now.
00:03:08.305 --> 00:03:09.068
Y'all are the witness.
00:03:10.485 --> 00:03:11.528
Lord, I need a witness.
00:03:11.528 --> 00:03:16.180
Let me testify and exorcise the demons.
00:03:16.401 --> 00:03:18.066
My hand on the Cabela's catalog.
00:03:18.066 --> 00:03:18.848
Eye to the sky.
00:03:18.848 --> 00:03:21.449
You can't testify.
00:03:21.449 --> 00:03:23.507
Ooh, that rhymed.
00:03:23.888 --> 00:03:25.586
Look at you, go, look at you, be a little poet, and you didn't even know it.
00:03:25.586 --> 00:03:25.788
What that rhymed.
00:03:25.788 --> 00:03:26.906
Look at you, go, look at you, be a little poet, and you don't even know it.
00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:28.966
What are you, Dr Seuss?
00:03:31.901 --> 00:03:32.304
Speaking of.
00:03:32.324 --> 00:03:37.051
Dr Seuss, let me just tell you right now, I am not impressed at all.
00:03:37.092 --> 00:03:37.474
What did he do?
00:03:39.501 --> 00:03:40.485
He didn't do anything.
00:03:40.485 --> 00:03:41.528
That's the point.
00:03:42.423 --> 00:04:16.288
I am not impressed that here I am trying to find little Paisley, some books and like dr seuss is just like not out there anymore, like it's, I'm gonna call um I know exactly what the problem is, but it's annoying well, maybe you should go ahead and look through the things that big daddy over here already bought, because I have a whole collection of dr seuss books I know that I'm like it's just frustrating the fact that, like Berenstain Bears, like Dr Seuss, like all the good classics are just like hard to find, like you have to go like digging for them.
00:04:16.288 --> 00:04:21.083
I found the whole collection of Dr Seuss all lined up Walmart, I know.
00:04:21.362 --> 00:04:24.865
I was excited they brought it back, so I bought like every single one that I could find.
00:04:25.165 --> 00:04:26.226
I think it was Christmas time.
00:04:26.547 --> 00:04:28.788
Then I found some gems at the local Martin's.
00:04:28.788 --> 00:04:34.793
The Martin's, yeah, some good ones, some real nice stuff.
00:04:34.793 --> 00:04:40.096
Know what I mean Real nice, before we get rocking and rolling and we get into-.
00:04:40.117 --> 00:04:42.766
Please hold Shuffle and Shelton has something to say.
00:04:42.766 --> 00:04:46.887
Aka the English Bulldog, I cut his toes today too.
00:04:47.069 --> 00:04:49.045
It don't matter, he drags them everywhere as he goes.
00:04:49.045 --> 00:04:53.088
Let me ask you this when you cut him, did you only have to cut the back, because he did the front for you?
00:04:53.288 --> 00:04:53.470
Yes.
00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:55.767
Because he drags them things everywhere as he goes.
00:04:55.767 --> 00:05:00.264
So just kind of natural Y'all can hear him Just comes natural.
00:05:00.264 --> 00:05:12.117
Before we get into some of the sentimental stuff, before we get into the difficult stuff, I want to ask everybody out there listening Are you tired?
00:05:12.117 --> 00:05:19.281
Are you as tired as I am of all these political commercials?
00:05:19.281 --> 00:05:33.889
Oh my God, it is destroying whatever brand of media you consume, and I'm not talking about like news media, I'm just talking about if you're watching TV, if it's a local antenna channel, you're going to get pounded with politics.
00:05:33.889 --> 00:05:54.021
If it is satellite, if it is some kind of app-based subscription, if it is your YouTube channel, if it is whatever the hell it is you listen to, they're going to interfere with their political ads.
00:05:54.041 --> 00:06:13.656
It is absolutely obnoxious and I would just hope and pray that the people out there that are looking to vote, that are thinking about voting, are not basing their sole decision on the ads that are getting regurgitated and just replaced for human consumption time and time again through your television or your radio.
00:06:13.656 --> 00:06:18.192
These ads are over-the-top obnoxious.
00:06:18.192 --> 00:06:23.209
I don't know why we can't fact-check the ads that are being run.
00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:27.805
If we can fact check a candidate in a debate, I don't understand it.
00:06:27.805 --> 00:06:28.528
I don't understand.
00:06:28.548 --> 00:06:29.413
Yeah we should be able to.
00:06:29.714 --> 00:06:34.009
I agree Because this shit is ridiculous and it's all about how you want to phrase something.
00:06:34.009 --> 00:06:38.067
If you want to frame something, it should come down to the facts about everything.
00:06:38.067 --> 00:06:43.148
It should come down to what you voted for, what you stood for, what you do, what you don't do.
00:06:43.148 --> 00:06:44.891
That's just how I feel about the scenario.
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:54.089
Now I want to go off on a high horse rant here for a second, because I had a beautiful idea not too long ago when you and me were driving around gazing at the sunset with the baby and I said you know what?
00:06:54.089 --> 00:06:58.401
I'm over some of this nonsense and I got a real quick way to settle some of this bullshit.
00:06:58.401 --> 00:07:09.410
Here's the thing, y'all, I I apologize before I get going here and I'm not going to keep this political thing as a whole tone for the day, but I just want to put this out there.
00:07:09.410 --> 00:07:12.091
All of the he said she said.
00:07:12.091 --> 00:07:14.855
All of the this isn't fair.
00:07:14.855 --> 00:07:16.795
All of the this is the wrong network.
00:07:16.795 --> 00:07:18.437
This is the wrong moderator.
00:07:18.437 --> 00:07:22.346
These are canned questions.
00:07:22.346 --> 00:07:23.033
These are rehearsed answers.
00:07:23.033 --> 00:07:37.666
We could resolve all of that and we could determine the number one option and candidate for this country If we put both presidential candidates in the same room with live mics, with live video and shocker.
00:07:38.408 --> 00:07:44.661
Let them ask each other whatever the hell they want to ask each other.
00:07:44.661 --> 00:07:49.523
That way you can't research the answers, you can't can up the nonsense.
00:07:49.523 --> 00:07:56.367
You have to respond to what is being asked of you by your opponent.
00:07:56.367 --> 00:08:05.130
I'm pretty sure that's how debates worked back in middle school, high school, college, any kind of damn school, and that's how conversation works in the real frigging world.
00:08:05.130 --> 00:08:13.814
And if we need somebody to lead the real world, then we need to have real answers, real questions and real time shit.
00:08:13.814 --> 00:08:14.935
Is it that hard to ask?
00:08:14.935 --> 00:08:16.055
Is it that difficult?
00:08:16.055 --> 00:08:18.096
I'm asking, is it that difficult?
00:08:18.798 --> 00:08:19.377
I don't think so.
00:08:19.598 --> 00:08:20.197
Amen, sister.
00:08:20.197 --> 00:08:22.550
I know it ain't so.
00:08:22.550 --> 00:08:24.860
Good God, what are you?
00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:26.586
You're cringing over there about something right now.
00:08:26.586 --> 00:08:27.108
Is it the dog?
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:28.485
Yeah, you can't hear her.
00:08:29.461 --> 00:08:39.472
No, I have my headphones on and I'm getting fired up about all the political ads I am getting just as frustrated with that dang dog.
00:08:39.472 --> 00:08:42.087
I don't want any more animals in the house.
00:08:42.087 --> 00:08:49.048
No, I'm an outdoor animal from here on out, man, we can have a farm 50 animals deep.
00:08:49.289 --> 00:08:50.192
That seems aggressive.
00:08:50.192 --> 00:08:54.532
I know it does, but I'm just saying that wouldn't annoy me as much as animals in the house.
00:08:54.532 --> 00:08:57.570
I'm over animals in the house.
00:08:57.570 --> 00:08:58.945
I don't even want a goldfish.
00:08:58.945 --> 00:09:02.548
Sorry, paisley, all of your animals will belong outside.
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.423
Yeah, Ness, I tell you.
00:09:04.563 --> 00:09:07.975
In the barn Paisley all of your animals will belong outside.
00:09:07.975 --> 00:09:16.192
Yeah, ness, I tell you In the barn, I started off the podcast today saying that there's a few things we were going to cover when you listen to the intro today.
00:09:16.192 --> 00:09:18.562
It was working hard to make memories which we're going to get to in a minute.
00:09:18.562 --> 00:09:24.011
Trying hard to survive the screams and praying to save the American dream.
00:09:24.011 --> 00:09:27.799
Trying hard to survive the screams and praying to save the American dream.
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:36.496
And what I mean by praying to save the American dream is I am praying that each and every one of you get out and vote, that each and every one of you get out and vote to save America.
00:09:36.938 --> 00:09:46.110
I'm not going to make this a massive political debate today, but all I'm going to ask of you is to consider this simple line of questioning.
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:49.250
This simple line of questioning needs to be asked.
00:09:49.250 --> 00:09:56.232
If Donald Trump was going to destroy America, he would have done it in his first term.
00:09:56.232 --> 00:10:04.193
If Kamala Harris was going to help save America, she would have done it in her first term.
00:10:04.193 --> 00:10:07.308
Actions speak louder than words.
00:10:07.308 --> 00:10:12.932
Actions should be clearer than the commercials you are watching.
00:10:12.932 --> 00:10:17.020
Kamala Harris has done nothing to save America.
00:10:18.182 --> 00:10:23.890
I'm going to ask you this Did you feel safer in America five years ago than you do right now.
00:10:23.890 --> 00:10:28.644
I am willing to bet that answer is hell, ass, no.
00:10:28.644 --> 00:10:35.601
And the fundamentals of this country and everything that goes on in our lives begins with safety.
00:10:35.601 --> 00:10:44.587
If we do not feel safe in our own country, in our own homes, in our own states, we cannot be successful, we cannot fix anything.
00:10:44.587 --> 00:10:48.663
You know the old adage that says if you want to love someone, you're going to love yourself.
00:10:48.663 --> 00:10:53.923
How many times have you, uh, had a bad breakup with somebody and said you know what?
00:10:53.923 --> 00:11:05.269
Some advice came in from some relative that said you know, if you're going to love somebody else, get to love yourself first yeah, of course, whether that advice was given to you or it was given about the person you broke up with.
00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:06.465
Pretty common advice, right.
00:11:06.785 --> 00:11:13.280
Yeah, I mean, self-love is very important, and if you can't love yourself, then you can't give anything to anybody else, you don't?
00:11:13.301 --> 00:11:20.926
possess the skills, you don't have the emotional wherewithal to give love if you can't give love to yourself.
00:11:21.006 --> 00:11:22.110
Right, it has to happen.
00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:25.469
Yeah, if my tank is empty, I can't give anything more.
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.272
If this country is going to get any better than it is right now, it has to start with safety.
00:11:31.272 --> 00:11:35.489
If we don't feel safe, we're not going to apply ourselves.
00:11:35.489 --> 00:11:37.523
If we don't feel safe, you're not going to take risks.
00:11:37.523 --> 00:11:41.221
If you don't feel safe, you're not going to be loving.
00:11:41.221 --> 00:11:45.568
If you don't feel safe, you're not going to be welcoming, You're not going to just be American.
00:11:45.568 --> 00:11:50.504
You're not going to open your house and your arms and your hearts to people if you don't feel safe.
00:11:50.504 --> 00:12:13.692
Safety is a fundamental value of this country and I'm going to tell you right now, as a small town boy that's lived in Maine his entire life, this is the most unsafe I have ever felt in my own state in my entire life and I am a 42-year-old, grown-ass man I don't trust people anymore because they're not our people anymore.
00:12:13.692 --> 00:12:16.248
It is a scary place to be.
00:12:16.248 --> 00:12:37.745
Over the course of the past few years, this state has been flooded with asylum seekers that I can't guarantee are here for the right reasons, and I'm not here to beat on a drum and alienate people, and I'm not here to call people out, and I'm certainly not racist, I'm certainly not prejudiced.
00:12:37.745 --> 00:12:49.219
I'm just saying our state can't handle what's happening in our state, and if that's happening in little old Maine, then I'm confident it's happening all across this country, and these things are not going to change.
00:12:49.219 --> 00:12:52.586
They're only going to get worse under this administration.
00:12:52.586 --> 00:13:03.532
If you felt safer five years ago, then I beg of you to go to the polls and vote first for safety and let the rest fall in place.
00:13:03.532 --> 00:13:06.413
It's just, it's common sense.
00:13:06.413 --> 00:13:17.312
I think it's something that has to happen and I wouldn't take the opportunity to preach about these things, but I'm going to tell you this I'm doing a disservice if I don't use the platform that I have built.
00:13:17.312 --> 00:13:34.461
224 consecutive weeks of me turning on a microphone gives me a platform and an opportunity to share and say what I believe, and what I believe is that America needs to start with being safe first, and if you were given four years to fix this place and you've done nothing but make this place worse, you don't deserve four more years.
00:13:34.942 --> 00:13:37.870
Think about the platform that the Republicans are running on.
00:13:37.870 --> 00:13:46.913
It's free enterprise, secure borders, honest elections, real journalism, ethical judiciary system, civil rights, moral standards, personal liberty.
00:13:46.913 --> 00:13:49.826
You know what Democrats are running on Hate for Trump.
00:13:49.826 --> 00:13:51.183
That's all they're running on.
00:13:51.183 --> 00:13:52.067
That's it.
00:13:52.067 --> 00:13:54.749
It's un-freaking-believable.
00:13:54.749 --> 00:14:01.474
I have had enough of it, and I just think there's fundamental common things that we need to think about.
00:14:01.474 --> 00:14:22.562
When President Trump is giving a speech that says, simply put, we need borders, we need, we need fair elections and we don't need men playing in women's sports, we don't need transgender operations without parental consent, those seem pretty fundamental, easy values to stand behind.
00:14:23.129 --> 00:14:31.721
And when you have your potential opponent, presidential candidate Harris, and all she can say is Trump, trump, trump, trump.
00:14:31.721 --> 00:14:33.717
I'm not Donald freaking Trump.
00:14:33.717 --> 00:14:34.159
It's unbelievable.
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.601
I'm Trump Trump.
00:14:34.601 --> 00:14:35.306
I'm not Donald freaking Trump.
00:14:35.306 --> 00:14:35.667
It's unbelievable.
00:14:35.667 --> 00:14:36.169
I'm sick of it.
00:14:36.169 --> 00:14:40.519
I'm sick of the ads, I'm sick of the text messages, I'm sick of the bullshit.
00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:45.321
I'm ready for this to be over and I'm ready for us to get back to being America.
00:14:45.321 --> 00:14:53.019
Please, please, please, forever love, and please get out and vote for the safety of America.
00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:55.102

All right, all right, all right.
00:15:33.778 --> 00:15:35.535
Thanks for hanging in there with me.
00:15:35.535 --> 00:15:40.937
Folks, Thanks for letting me just get a little Bransky off my chest.
00:15:40.937 --> 00:15:41.818
You know what I mean.
00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:42.682
Do you feel better?
00:15:43.672 --> 00:15:56.342
I do feel a little bit better and I hope that people listening out there understand my point of view, respect it, and you know you can never think that you're going to change somebody's vote.
00:15:56.342 --> 00:15:59.509
You just hope you can educate somebody with your opinion.
00:15:59.509 --> 00:16:07.024
And that's the fundamentals of this country is that we all are allowed to have opinions and we should all be able to share them and have conversation around them.
00:16:07.024 --> 00:16:18.178
I feel like over the past few years this country has turned into a situation where you're not allowed to have an opinion, you're not allowed to disagree, like if you do disagree with me, then you're offending me.
00:16:18.178 --> 00:16:20.538
I feel like that's where this country has gone.
00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:24.801
I've been saying for years it is the pussification of America.
00:16:24.801 --> 00:16:46.971
That's what I am so, so over with, and I thought about whether I wanted to have a political conversation on here and I decided I'd be doing a disservice if, after all the time of having a platform, I didn't talk about the most critical and important decision going on in this country right now.
00:16:46.971 --> 00:16:58.393
As that date quickly approaches and as some people are getting out and voting early, I just kind of wanted to toss my two cents in there, and I'm sure we'll have more political conversations as we, as we go.
00:16:58.393 --> 00:17:07.832
But uh, I think I just had enough today when it came down to as many um ads I have received and text messages.
00:17:07.832 --> 00:17:11.479
I've gotten tons of text messages.
00:17:11.479 --> 00:17:12.140
Do you get the text messages?
00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:12.520
I don't get them.
00:17:12.520 --> 00:17:14.724
No, oh my God, we talked about that.
00:17:14.809 --> 00:17:17.779
I don't know how or why, but I don't get any.
00:17:18.069 --> 00:17:26.824
I've gotten blasted with them and I will say that most of them 90% of them are Democratic ads.
00:17:26.824 --> 00:17:37.269
You get a lot of them that come through that ask for you to like how you're going to vote, but I got a lot of Democratic ones asking for donations.
00:17:37.269 --> 00:17:43.683
I have this super long message from the Harris campaign asking for $40.
00:17:45.290 --> 00:17:46.414
They're asking for money.
00:17:46.756 --> 00:17:47.558
Yeah, tons of it.
00:17:47.558 --> 00:17:48.351
Literally.
00:17:48.351 --> 00:17:56.099
This first is a picture of her bunch of messages, this long ass message, and it says I'm going to ask you to make a contribution of $40 today.
00:17:56.099 --> 00:18:02.038
Let me explain why and then there's a long ass message and I wrote back a bunch of laughing.
00:18:02.038 --> 00:18:02.901
Absolutely not.
00:18:02.901 --> 00:18:04.757
I'm going to ask you to remove your number.
00:18:04.757 --> 00:18:08.974
I'm going to ask you to remove my number and yourself from office.
00:18:08.974 --> 00:18:10.738
That's what I went with.
00:18:10.998 --> 00:18:11.357
Good one.
00:18:11.719 --> 00:18:12.759
And then they send back this.
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.164
They texted me again a couple days later and this is after I replied stop.
00:18:16.164 --> 00:18:25.040
And I got another one right before I started recording the podcast.
00:18:25.040 --> 00:18:33.362
That is a video of some lady and it says hi, Keith, my name is Danny and I'm a former Trump voter, but I will not be voting for Trump in 2024 because he's a convicted felon.
00:18:33.362 --> 00:18:41.557
And I wrote back sorry, Danny, I guess I will be canceling your vote when I proudly vote for a felon over a backstabbing politician.
00:18:41.557 --> 00:18:42.780
That's what I went with.
00:18:43.089 --> 00:18:44.476
They keep messaging me man.
00:18:44.770 --> 00:18:53.779
The last time that I got any of those was, like I don't know last time, and they used to text me and I would just put like the train emoji.
00:18:54.121 --> 00:18:54.823
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
00:18:55.430 --> 00:18:56.394
And they would just leave me alone.
00:18:56.394 --> 00:18:57.659
I've even clicked unsubscribed.
00:18:57.769 --> 00:19:00.078
I've clicked stop and whatever they ask for.
00:19:00.078 --> 00:19:08.455
What's crazy is I'm a registered Republican and I'm getting all these Democratic donation ads, which is kind of just obnoxious to me.
00:19:08.455 --> 00:19:10.280
I'm just over it, absolutely over it.
00:19:10.280 --> 00:19:18.205
I wish we could just have ethical politics, but I guess that's asking way way too much of our country at this point.
00:19:18.205 --> 00:19:26.693
But we want to get into some positive things and the first thing that I want to get to that's positive is, I mean, getting ahead of things.
00:19:26.693 --> 00:19:39.967
I personally positively, absolutely want to thank you for the help and effort and commitment that you made to the Emmons wedding on Friday.
00:19:39.967 --> 00:19:41.694
Thank you for all of your efforts.
00:19:42.036 --> 00:19:45.454
Yeah, of course that was so much fun we have been.
00:19:45.895 --> 00:19:46.679
It's crazy.
00:19:46.679 --> 00:19:49.398
It's been over a year waiting for this wedding to show up.
00:19:49.398 --> 00:19:55.472
Year waiting for this wedding to show up.
00:19:55.472 --> 00:19:58.458
Um good friend of ours, ricky Emmons, had reached out to me asking if, um, we would DJ his, his wedding.
00:19:58.458 --> 00:20:01.403
And, uh, the date was, uh what?
00:20:01.403 --> 00:20:02.244
October 18th.
00:20:02.329 --> 00:20:16.779
I want to say so I had some great conversation with Ricky and the night of the wedding we were talking about it and he had said, hey, man, when you know, I asked Shay to marry me and she said yes, and we started thinking about planning.
00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:21.435
I wasn't thinking about a venue, I wasn't thinking about a date, I was thinking about you.
00:20:21.435 --> 00:20:26.096
I wanted you to be a part of it and you were the first person in the only demand that I made.
00:20:26.096 --> 00:20:32.231
So, um, that number one just is like the ultimate compliment.
00:20:32.231 --> 00:20:34.038
I think that that just means so much.
00:20:34.038 --> 00:20:38.122
It's one of the greatest compliments I've ever received as any form of entertainment.
