Speaker 1:
You're listening to the WDYM, the what Do you Mean? Podcast. Now everyone gather around and listen to one of Hamilton's best podcasts. No research to back this up. Your host, Michael Gillespie.
Speaker 2:
I've been researching who has the longest what Do you Mean? Podcast. It's one of those questions in the back you have. You're like well, you know, I've been doing this for a while. How many other what Do you Mean? Podcasts are out there? Because what do you mean is a common term that we all use around here. So it's like, let me, let me do some investigating, let's find out how many other what Do you Mean podcasts are out there. And I found a couple just on Apple, because you know, I'm just starting my search, starting my research as far as who has the longest WDYM podcast out there. So I started on Apple and I found like five or six of them and I found one in that I think. I'm assuming that's in Korean. I'm not even going to try to pronounce the name Le Fleur, le Fleur Lee, and you know, if I butcher it I apologize. They're at 48 episodes. I got this one by Alex and Dan. That's at 10 episodes. We have one that just did one episode. I said I ain't, I'm done, and another one by Church Home and Judah Smith. That's at 45.
Speaker 2:
I do subscribe to Ty and Monica Combs as WDYM because it's just interesting to hear other aspects of a WDYM and they talk well. The last time I listened to them they talked a lot about their personal lives and all that stuff. So I need to get back on them and listen to what they're doing. Just, you know, it's always interesting to hear other people do a WDYM. But as far as this, you know, comparing all their numbers, you know, 31, 45, 48, et cetera, et cetera your boy is at 77, which means currently I am the longest running WDYM podcast according to Apple. So, yeah, I'm going to take that. I'm at 77 and running, plus I got two to edit and I'll tell you doing a podcast. You know, you don't know exactly what you're doing until you get into it. Editing takes forever but it's worth it. I'm not complaining or anything like that. I am enjoying what I'm doing and I got more episodes to go and you know it's fun for me and I want to thank you yes, you person in the seat listening to me right now with the headphones in or anything. Thank you for listening to me Ramble on for 77 episodes. We're on our push to season three and, as far as my research goes, if that's true, based on other podcast websites and everything that's probably going to be in the season three role, the intro, when I, when I get, get to there, when I get, when I get to season three, you best believe the longest running WDYM podcast, your host, michael Gillespie, do doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon doon. So, yeah, better believe that's going to be in the season three intro.
Speaker 2:
So some other things that's going on in life of the WDYM and everything I have decided to do To take the stage on amateur night at a local funny bone here in Ohio, the one in our Liberty Center. April 4th is the tentative date. I've expressed interest in doing it because I'm like 60% sure I want to do it. But you know, doing that on stage as an amateur, you know there's a lot of things that I'm not used to. But I could tell jokes. I mean, if I wouldn't do this podcast if I didn't tell jokes and have a way to be a storyteller myself. So I sent out the feelers out to do amateur night April 4th at the funny bone in Liberty Center In Ohio. So I'm about 60% sure I want to do it and I've already gone over some of my material in the podcast. So I only got to go for five to six minutes, so already got the General idea of what to do and in fact I've already talked about it in the podcast.
Speaker 2:
As far as season one, episode three, titled Scotty Pippin is tripping and what do you mean?
Speaker 2:
I went to jail and it's funny that you know that's the title of that episode that long ago because Scotty Pippin is still tripping. The idea of going to jail is absolute Freaks me out. But to give you a quick synopsis of the five to six minute bit that I plan on doing at, the funny bone is where I'm a frustrated, angry Chipotle worker Manager working clopens, closed, open, open and close. I got so desperate to look for another job I even decided to Think that I could work at a jail, as funny as that sounds. That was my idea and there's so many things to Do on the mic for five to six minutes. So hopefully I rehearsed it once and I reached the five, six minute, five minutes and 15 seconds to be exact. When I did the initial bit I was surprised that I went Five to six minutes because it felt like I was talking forever and I was like only at three, four minutes. But I could definitely add stuff to it and embellish it.
Speaker 2:
But the general principle is that you don't want to work at jail, so that's one of the squares on the bangle sheet that I want to Exile for 2024 to do this amateur, amateur bit for five to six minutes at the funny bone. So About 60% sure I'm going to do it. We'll see. Because me, here's my thing, here's my problem with doing stand up, doing stand up comedy, even if it's amateur. I could tell jokes all day and be funny all day. The problem is is when the laugh goes too long, I can no longer decipher if you're laughing at the joke or laughing at me. I don't know why my brain functions like that, but it's like, once you go, ha ha, okay, it's funny. But when you do this for too long, okay, okay, what the hell so funny? I mean I told that joke 15 seconds ago. Why y'all still? Why y'all still laughing? It's not funny, no more, the joke is over. I gotta move on to the next joke. So that's the hard part for me to get over. But we'll see how it goes. I got said I'm about 60% sure I want to do this, but we'll see. We will see if this is something that I can do. Obviously, I'll let you guys know, hopefully, when I do this performance, that they give me A tape or something like that, so I can at least see what I do and my mannerisms and See if I can correct that, see if there's something I want to do a second time, because I got jokes for days, but doing it on stage is different, you know. So we will see about that. Stay tuned to see if April 4th or, yeah, april 4th is an exact thing. So what else is going on?
Speaker 2:
This one is titled a chain of events, so one thing led to another, which led to another. Three different topics, but all related to the same thing. This all starts with a new employee. I get a new employee, needless to say that this new employee was not ready to work at my facility. People say that I am hard on my people, but if you do your job and you Function well as far as your job and I basically do not do not get on you. So I got this one guy that it took a long time for him to function properly and the bottom line is that he was not. He was not hitting on all cylinders like I needed him to do. It came to a point where it could have been disastrous if he continued his, his, him working for me. I voiced my frustration on On social media. I couldn't, I couldn't comprehend why the greatest, greatest healthcare facility in Butler County Employed this young person. I went to social media. I was like I can't believe. This is the situation that I'm in and I was highly upset.
Speaker 2:
This comes down to the second event. So I'm over at another facility, the Don, aka my marble friend, sees me in the hallway and she's like she points her finger. Her finger was like straight, like Straight, you couldn't bend that finger and I could see it like ten feet away. She points her finger at me, says I need to speak to you now. Let me rewind.
Speaker 2:
I rewind time a bit and tell you and what a marble friend it's. At first, when she said we were marble friends, I was like I don't know what, what, what you talk about, because I've never been labeled a Marble friend like you. Don't, don't be calling me no names. I gotta figure out if this is something good or bad Before we press on with this whole marble friend definition, because I don't know. I don't know what these, I don't know what a marble friend is. So I looked it up.
Speaker 2:
So a marble friend is someone you share hard stories with, things that are happening to you and you fill up their marble draw with advice and communication and you know being someone that is that has their back, so to speak. They keep your secrets, you tell them secrets and they remember your birthday, remember the last part. So, marble friend. So we became marble friends because we communicated real well. We, we talk like normally. We were talking, say hey, how you doing so, you're like I'm fine, and then that would turn into like a 15, 20 minute conversation and that happened multiple times. You know, we would develop a bond because we work in the same facility, things like that I'll fix, or something for Thanksgiving. We would share lindors and all that stuff and and we would, you know, buy each other gifts for our birthdays.
Speaker 2:
So this has been going on for about two to three years since we've been, you know, since we know each other, every year I make sure she gets something for her birthday. I'll even go and get a list and say, hey, look, you know what's your favorite this, what's your favorite color, what's your favorite this. She fills it out, no problem. And you know, I get some things on it Dr Pepper, lindor, chocolates what Marvel friends do. That's what we do. So this year I went above and beyond. I got something every day that week of her birthday leading up to her birthday Boom, boom, boom, bang, bang, bang. She got got, got right. So I planned ahead. No problem, that's what I do.
Speaker 2:
You know, marvel friend, when it comes to my birthday, it's been, it's been, it's been this Straight crickets. Now, mind you, life has been busy. She's had things going on, I've had things going on. So you know, that's expected, but that's, that's almost like three, three months ago. Right, I understand, things happen and I'm, I'm, I'm a all understanding individual, like, like, okay, I get that. You know, life happens, I get it, that's been three months ago. I'm like hold on Marvel friend, I give her, I like, I give her a side. I, every time I see her now like yo, okay, miss Marvel friend, we're coming up towards, we're coming up towards April, what's going on?
Speaker 2:
And she's like yeah well, I got, I overthink things and I I wanted to send you this, I wanted to get you this, but then I over, overanalyzed and I didn't do it. So, okay, well, uh, well, it's almost April, so we need to, uh, we need to get me something. Marvel friend, like, hey, marvel, that's what I say, hey, marvel friend, and we need to do something. So so she sends me ideas that you know, I like, like one of the things that she sent me was the ice cream fried chicken. And my brain does not comprehend that, because if I see a bucket of fried chicken, I'm expecting that to be warm. If I bite into that fried chicken, I might freeze my teeth off, because I'm a I'm a go hardcore bite, bite into that ice cream fried chicken, and you know that might not be in my mental. I'm thinking hot, hot chicken, and this is cold ice cream. I can't do that. No, no, no, no, no. She could be sending me ideas and I just, I just shoot them down. And I'm shooting them down on purpose, because this is almost April and I still ain't got nothing. Okay, marvel friend. So so I'm still waiting, we'll see. She's saying something like uh, we're going to celebrate at your half birthday Right now. You someone tell me you look it up, when is your half birthday? You can. Is that a Google thing? What is a half birthday? So we'll see what my Marvel friend does.
Speaker 2:
So, going back to the original point with the straight finger and everything, remember that she sees me and she's like I need to talk to you. So there's me and another person in the hallway and she has a serious face on that I've never seen before. I'm like, okay, the guy that's next to you. So, yeah, I got to go and he's pune. Does the road runner Beep, beep out of here, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:
So she pulls me into her office. She says I am disappointed in you. I said, wow, I ain't had someone say that to me in a very long time. And like I'm a military, you know I'm a veteran, I'm a military. You can't shake the exterior, the hardcore exterior, to get to me, to my interior, to make me feel like bad. She's like I'm disappointed in you. I said this is coming out of that field because I don't know what I did. I mean, I'm over in another facility. You don't see me. I don't know what you're talking about. She said I saw what you said on social media. I expect better from a leader like you. I said, ooh, you got me. You got me because one of the things that I am very proud of is my military leadership.
Speaker 2:
And she, once she said that, I said, ooh, we, so that is. That is 100% accurate. So you let that person down, you let me down and you let yourself down. I said, wow, she is going in on me. I never, I never, had someone dig that deep on me and like she knows me, but she don't know me that well, because, again, I'm military. You can't. My exterior is is armored clad. You can't get to this. You can't get to the interior through the exterior. You know, once she said that, I was like yo, immediately, sorry, I immediately apologized because I threw this through this person underneath under the bus and I did.
Speaker 2:
I was frustrated, I admit that, and I should have thought better of my words and everything. So I apologize. I apologize. I took it down and it made me rethink my situation, like I shouldn't have done that, because it wasn't his fault that he was putting that situation. We all make mistakes. So I took it down. I apologize.
Speaker 2:
I had to walk across street rethinking like myself, like evaluating myself and not to do things that you know that would damage somebody's, will hurt somebody's feelings or damage somebody. So I took that to heart. I don't get my handed to me by my the DON across the street. I come across and then I got to speech therapist let's talk about. Well, I don't know what she, what you talking about, because you didn't got no mic. I said, oh we, here's the thing with the speech therapist. She's athletically built, all right. So she got she cheeky at best. Cheeky at best, that's all she's getting from me. Cheeky, that's it. And I look at her and like you know what I know, like you and your DNA, because you're with your cousin and she cheekless, right, she cheekless. So it goes from cheeky to cheekless. Something wrong with your DNA, because this don't make no sense Either way.
Speaker 2:
You attacking me and now, if you listen previously to episodes, this has been one of my, one of my weaknesses. I've struggled to develop booty cheeks. Right, it's hard for me. It's like I don't understand why it hurts so bad to develop some booty cheeks. I want booty cheeks. You won't booty cheeks, okay, it's just hard. To develop Chest arms yeah, all that is easy to build, but booty cheeks is just one of the things that can't.
Speaker 2:
I can't do so on top of the D O, n, two out on top of the speech therapist saying I'm I'm cheekless, I'm like I'm come home and I'm defeated. And I come home to the surprise my mama's here, okay, my mom's here, you know, when mama's here, it's, it's all. You know. My mom's here, you know. You get back to that childhood feeling. My mom was here. I'm happy, I'm like, mom, what you doing here?
Speaker 2:
So as I come in the door, as I come in the door, you know, greet my family, everything. I look over to my mama. My mama has your dacity to say this you just haven't got no butt. See what you don't start. You see what you don't start. Is you started this this morning? Now my own mama has said it again I'm 50% your DNA. You ain't got no butt. Yeah, it's shocked, see that? So I immediately I'm really text speech therapist. I said look man, this is all your fault, that my mama is going in on me. I can't believe. So that's it.
Speaker 2:
So y'all ain't gonna be talking about me and my cheekless self. I mean, I got some cheeks, but I need, obviously I need more, because it's looking like an extended back, apparently, and I'm sick of it. I said you know what? That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go to TikTok yes, tiktok and I'm gonna find exactly what I need. And I'm not going to know. You know what? I'm not going to just find anybody that got some cheeks. I'm going to find a dude. Yeah, I said it, I'm gonna find a dude that got some cheeks. Lo and behold, I put in glute exercise and I found this guy who has 9.6 million plays and I said you know what? It's gonna be my guy. I'm going to do it and you're going to listen to this with me together.
Speaker 3:
Okay, Y'all want to get that peach ready for the beach. I'm gonna teach you the five best Activation exercises, so let's get on all fours team. We're gonna start with the kickback.
Speaker 3:
Keep our legs super straight legs keeping that core nice and tight and kicking straight back. We really feel that gluten gauge and it's the building blocks of all glue isolation. Now bend our knee, kick the heel to ceiling. This is called a donkey kick. I'll make my own sound effect there. Let's move to our sides.
Speaker 3:
You're gonna do is have that leg come directly out to the side, parallel to your body. You're going to raise it up as high as you can. This is a side kick out. This is gonna work the glute mead and it's gonna really fire up that peach. And bend the knee Fire hydrant is another phenomenal exercise to really work that peach and get those glutes to fire. And finally we have what we call the glute rainbow. This is where we have our leg crossed over the behind leg and coming all the way up, back down, all the way up. But highly recommend you do these every single day. If you do a hundred reps per exercise and I promise you you're consistent with this I'll get your peach ready for the beach. Give it a save share to a pancake. Can you need get excited?
Speaker 2:
Did you hear that? He said 50 to 100 Every day, every day, every day? He wants me to do this in order to get my peach ready for the beach. I don't. I Don't know if I can do 50 to 100 every day, because when I do my normal leg workouts, I am sore for 72 hours, like Like 72 hours like normally it's 24 hours, maybe you know 40 like a soaring this the next day, and then I get over it.
Speaker 2:
I Y'all don't understand this. This hurts Physically and now, as I look at it, emotionally, because this is gonna handicap me and I'm not gonna be ready for this. I like I'm not Okay. So you know what I'm making excuses right now. This is gonna get done by the largest of this year. I'm gonna have a Peach ready for the beach because I'm sick of this. Y'all ain't gonna be keep clowning me anymore, because this is this, is it I'm? Y'all play too much and it don't made me angry that this speech therapist and then my own mama come in and clown me. So guess what? It's time To get that booty workout and it's gonna happen. Okay, that's what I'm telling you right now. It's going to happen and y'all just watch, I'm not playing with y'all. Yeah, this upset me to a point where I'm vocalizing Growing this booty Okay, cuz I'm gonna have me some cheeks for the summer, so y'all be prepared. Yeah, oh, that's over. You all think I'm playing.
Speaker 2:
I Got a lot of exercise to do. I got time to be playing. No more, cuz I gotta get this peach ready for the beach. I'm serious, so I gotta get out, get on, do this workout. So Pray for me. It's a lot all this time frame. I'll take pictures, put them online. I'm your host of the WD. Why am I? My name is Michael Gillespie. Guys love each other and I'm out girl scout.
