33:25
Yeah,
33:26
but when I was, when I was growing up, yeah, but no, but it's like, yeah, but Romeo was so psyched.
33:30
They were Roman, yeah? Let me finish, man.
33:33
Turn up the bass line.
33:34
Give me 29 seconds to chat this rhyme.
33:37
Over MCs, wait in line.
33:39
How about the man? 21.

12 MINS LATER

45:33
Why did it fucking happen, right?
20:10
[laughs]
20:11
This, this fucking done me, right.
20:12
Right, right.
20:13
No, when I say, right, this is when I was single on my own.
20:15
I say, "I just love being off my phone.
20:17
I put my phone away." Yeah, Ryan goes, "I'm the same.
20:19
I've got Sky Beefer, and I put my phone in the safe." And I didn't know, I didn't look at it for two days.
23:06
[laughs]
50:32
So is everyone actually smokers?
50:34
Right, okay.
50:34
So I'll tell you this.
50:35
I walked in and the first thing they asked me was, do you vape? And I went, no.
50:39
And they all cheered.
50:40
And the reason they all cheered is there's a vape queue.
50:42
You're only allowed one person out at a time to smoke, snuzz or vape.
52:42
So when you guys are eating, it's just like sort of little snacks and treats that you're making.
0:00
Well, good afternoon, brethren.
0:01
Happy Sabbath.
0:03
I hope you guys are doing well.
0:05
And before I get started, just let me go ahead and just give you the title of the sermonette.
0:10
It is Beyond Hello.
0:12
Beyond Hello.
3:45
difference in price between a renovation and building a new
3:49
school.
3:49
Well, right now, we would estimate that building a new school like this would be somewhere between $250 and $300 million dollars.
3:56
And we think this is about an $85 million renovation overall.
4:01
So there's a huge difference in savings to the taxpayers.
4:05
And we feel good about that.
4:06
We know that every area of this building will be touched to some degree.
4:30
talk to me about what the staging process has been, all those portables out front, and what's the plan for allowing this to go a little faster than it might if we were restricted to
1:59
Okay.
1:59
So I've been doing it for a long time and, um, kind of analyzing why I am the way I am and everything else, and I've always been a real, a real high achiever.
2:07
Um, and I think when I was young, I remember it like it was yesterday, my, uh, mom and my stepdad g- they gave me this book, and they were like, "If you, uh, study this book, you might get into the school that we're gonna take you to." And I was about six, and I remember being really good at understanding this book, and I got a lot of praise and a lot of validation, and it was the first time I remember really being seen by my mom especially, and also my stepdad, and I was getting lots of validation.
2:33
And at this point, my real dad wasn't really around as much, um, 'cause we didn't see him from the age of six to the age of 12, which was a big gap.
2:43
And I just think, looking back, that I used achieving as a form of receiving love and validation, and it's just quite obvious to see now across all of my life that I've always been pushing myself for more and more and more.
2:58
And now I'm finally getting to the point in my life where I'm thinking, "I don't need to keep proving myself.
3:03
I am enough." And it's a hard, it's a hard lesson to really learn, but I think it started from those early ages.

6 MINS LATER

9:37
Where does that come from, this connection to little Scott?
3:42
I know the feeling man I've sometimes like got in my boxers before but he's like what the fuck you doing I'm like I just need to stretch out man we got a ton of questions for you boys we're just going to kick it off straight away what's the longest you've gone without speaking to each other after an argument well they fell out for a while how
4:03
long did you fall out for So me and Ryan didn't speak for six months.
4:06
That's disgusting.
4:07
That is a disgusting.
4:09
This is back in the day.
4:10
So Ryan used to be really stubborn.
4:11
Like if you had a thought of Ryan, you wouldn't hear from him.

6 MINS LATER

10:23
And I always say, no we're not best friends i have best friends i've like enough best friends he's my brother yeah it's a completely different relationship i have with pete like we could strangle each other sometimes but i know and he knows if in one second if he needed me or if i needed him we'd be there like that I think that's so
40:21
And I really- We do look
40:22
up to you to the point that literally, right? I do this.
40:25
So if we're doing an ad, yeah? So I've got your ad up, right? And I'm like, boys, fucking gather around here.
40:32
I'm like, it looks fucking simple.
40:34
I said, he's a fucking genius.
40:37
I said, that shot there, it looks like nothing.
40:41
But it's everything.
45:24
isn't this
4:48
Scott, talk to us about the way that we rely on our trades to keep the Jordan School District running.
4:53
Yeah, thank you.
4:54
You know, we're service providers, and we deeply care about our teachers and our students and their well-being, and there's just an awful lot to get to.
5:03
Like I said, we have well over a million square feet in the school district, and so...
5:08
All of our trades, we rely on them to fix everything from air conditioning to, you know, the lights go out, plumbing emergencies, especially this time of year.
5:19
HVAC is a very important thing in the middle of the summer.
5:23
And if you don't have any electricity, then, you know, you don't have any HVAC.
JakeGUEST
5:49
A little more.
29:28
This is crazy.
29:28
Go back, because you like details.
29:30
So go back to Rick Beato.
29:32
2006, we do Carolina.
29:35
We got our own version, and that just leads us around to Carolina.
29:40
It's just a little local band for about two or three years.
29:43
Then we come here to Nashville.

10 MINS LATER

39:17
did one therapy session, and then...
3:34
Um, and they, and you know, we're talking some blokes were, you know, Mahaki's 73 years old and c- to come at that age with an open book keen to, to learn more, I think that's, yeah, kudos to those guys 'cause yeah, y- you know, they've been fishing for a long, long time and done things a lo- Um, yeah, I just, I just thought it was a really organic experience that, um, yeah, I j- I, I'm still really buzzing and, uh, yeah, it just needs to happen again and again because it's, it's so valuable for any- everyone that come and I think some of our guests will probably wanna come back because they know that cooking and fish care is endless and it's, it's an ongoing thing and, you know, once you've got it embedded in y- in your, your, your programming, then it's just part of life anyways and that's what, uh, the, the conversation was like even when we weren't fishing and having beers or whatever, it was all, you know, steered back to that and yeah, I just, yeah, I think it was really well put together and obviously room to improve, but, but we'll get that, um, feedback from everyone and, and make it e- even better.
4:40
Yeah.
4:41
It's so true.
4:42
I mean, everyone, everyone, like you said, turned up with a different, um, purpose or a different intention and different reason why they, why they were there.
4:49
Certain guys had these or learned a process when it came to the fish care or cooking or whatever, and you, you could just see as the week went on, everyone was just...
4:58
There was just a real positive buzz around it.
5:00
It's an awesome location, Papakura in the Solomon Islands is, you know...
7:40
So it's just, yeah, it's, it's, it's wild.
0:00
Several years ago, a well-known orchestra was preparing for a major performance.
0:06
The musicians were exceptional, highly trained, deeply skilled, each one confident in their own ability.
0:16
But during rehearsal, something went wrong.
0:20
Something wasn't quite right.
0:23
The violins pressed ahead, convinced that they carried the melody.
0:29
The brass played louder, determined that they were going to be heard.
2:15
Right,
2:15
so I sat down with the boys, I think it was about over a year ago now.
2:20
And these boys are traditional actors, right? So they were always like, we don't do social media.
2:24
It's not cool.
2:25
It's cringe and everything else.
2:27
And I was like, every time we do do something though, people like, they love it.
2:30
So I sat them down on our birthday in the garden and went, boys, just trust me.

55 MINS LATER

57:11
You know, as in like, I started feeling the symptoms and I just went, nah, I don't have it.
