This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Bones. Hey, everybody. We're going to do a Q&A, and so I did one of these on my Instagram, and I said, hey, just ask your questions. The problem is, I get a lot of great questions, but then it just takes forever to type, and I'm not going to do a bunch of videos. So I thought we would answer them here. So I've grabbed a few of these.

0:22.8

All right.

0:23.5

Number one, how do you deal with the scrutiny that comes with your jobs?

0:29.8

I think that I've been able to grow in my job with the scrutiny that comes with my job,

0:44.9

meaning whenever I was starting out in Hot Springs, Arkansas, there was just a slight bit of scrutiny, like maybe a couple calls and a little quest line.

0:48.2

And so you start to call us up just a little.

0:52.9

And then I go to a little rock and it's a little more, but not much.

0:55.1

Then I go to Austin, and then I'm doing mornings mornings and then that starts to get pretty rough austin was weird and rough though because there was

1:00.4

another morning show that were just awful awful awful people and like they started to like rattle the cage

1:07.5

and so i've been fortunate enough to grow with it. And now it's all the time.

1:13.7

But I think had I just been dunked into this and I feel bad for some people who go on like a

1:18.0

television show and they've never done anything in media. They haven't been known at all. They

1:21.3

go on a television show or podcast and all of a sudden they're famous and they're getting crushed.

1:25.8

Like they didn't have the luxury of growing with that.

1:32.3

I oddly remember an episode of Home Improvement where Wilson was talking about kids and having kids.

1:40.4

And Wilson was the guy behind the fence.

1:42.6

You never saw his face until like the final episode. And even when they would come out, because sometimes they would show where the whole cast would come out and they'd be like, and Tim Allen and he waved to the crowd. And they would say, Wilson and Wilson would come out, but he would still hold that fence in front of his face. So for those that don't know, we didn't have the internet back in the 90s, not to see

2:01.8

Wilson's face. Rest in peace, by the way. But he came out in the final episode and showed his

2:06.8

face. And it's kind of weird. I'll be honest with you. But he said it in an episode once,

2:12.5

and he was talking about having children and how hard it's going to be when they get older.

2:22.8

And he said, you know, you get to grow as a parent as the kid grows as a kid.

2:27.1

So you're learning little things while the kid is learning little things.
