Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1034.036

So you've been together at least 19 years. We have. How long before? Was it just 19?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1070.169

You don't go? You haven't been? He doesn't invite me. You've never been? Oh, I've been to a strip club, but not with him.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1077.273

I've been to Crazy Girls in L.A. Okay. I've been to... We've been to Magic City.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1086.519

I've never been to any in Atlanta because I had family that worked there.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1096.371

I had a brother, sister, they're both my cousins that worked at the Gold Club. Okay.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1106.975

Gold Club was the place when, I mean, I don't think I'm older than y'all.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1217.813

He's from Georgia. He's from Georgia, I think, right there.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1221.337

My trainer is African-American and grew up in Cedartown. He lives in L.A. I see him three days a week. Cedartown? Cedartown, Georgia. Yeah, he grew up in Cedartown. And I love that man. He's the most amazing man. He's one of my best friends.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1246.156

So Mikkel and I will get in a very heated discussion where we just get louder and louder. But he and I don't think we're yelling. And then I'll get in the car with my friend Sandy, who's Chinese, and she goes, that was so upsetting. You guys were just yelling at each other.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1261.323

I was yelling? We weren't yelling at all. It's really fascinating because she grew up in Boston.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1308.576

He doesn't know anything about me. He thinks he knows everything and he does not. We're in couples therapy. We're in couples therapy. We should be because somebody is 90% self-focused.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1330.386

I love that movie. And I hate it also because it's a representation of what people go through. It's awful. And it was beautifully done. It was a great movie. I've seen that movie. I made my kids watch that movie when they were in high school. We're doing the same.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1382.366

I just learned I think that's called being agnostic, where you're not religious, but you're very spiritual and you believe in God, where you believe in a God and you pray to God and you do sort of religious practices without adhering to religion. So I think that's what I am. I grew up Southern Baptist, but my mom was also Maharishi, Mahishi yogi. What is that?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1402.982

That's like some kind of meditation, like they were all white and Birkenstocks and ate macrobiotic.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1428.07

And he goes, welcome. Have a seat in my living room. Would you like some water?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1477.719

That's our clip. Hold on. Hey, guys, we've got a great episode. That's pretty arrogant to think that she would be into him. It's arrogant, don't you think?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1493.028

So if she's into you, why would she be into you? Crazy, that's not the way it works. That's not the way it works. What if I try to fuck God? Can I tell you what's crazy? That's so arrogant.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1505.037

God, this is tish. I am not into God. I'm just an innocent bystander. I wasn't even supposed to be in this episode. Oh, my God. I would have worn a tracksuit. I would have dressed up. He just told me two minutes before it started, you're making biscuits. And I was like, what?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1525.971

It's too dry. No, this is not how I make biscuits. This is somebody else's recipe. I would not have done it. I make biscuits with my white Louis. I love it.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1536.537

I don't know this biscuit. I say she's autistically honest. It's corn cheddar something. I've never made anything like this before. It's so dry. I don't know what to do with it.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1546.544

It's got eggs. Maybe a little. It needs more water. I keep putting water in it, and it's just not enough water. I don't put water in my biscuits.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1570.917

But I will. It's super easy. You know, they got them things at Kroger. It looked like it was going to, like, did you have corn that you put in it? Yes, it was cream corn, which has some moisture, but it's not enough.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1581.622

I think I may need to turn it out and just work it with my hands. I think the bowl suits that.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1762.793

But that's such a blessing. That's really a gift that you quit when you were ready and you're good with it. Because so many people don't get that opportunity. They get injured and it's over and they're not done. That's really it.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1784.763

It was a season, right? Season of your life. That was part of that.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

1871.368

Well, when you were playing, I was raising kids. I wasn't watching football.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2011.065

Listen, I grew up watching NFL football. Have you ever heard the term make it rain?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2034.653

But is it kind of refreshing to know somebody who isn't familiar with your history?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2056.039

Okay, and Magic City's the strip club you were talking about, right? Mm-hmm.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2085.876

For fun. I thought it would be really fun. Are you for real? I'm being dead serious.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2158.798

I love it, Leah. Did not. Yeah, whatever. I did not grow up like, even like ballet dancing, not dancing at all. And I thought it was fun to do with my girlfriend. It was awesome.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2212.567

I wonder if he thinks noon was like a suggestion. I wonder if he thought noon was a suggested time.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2284.946

We just got him to commit yesterday, so he forgot in 24 hours.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2543.039

To the doctor and he said, you're going to put that back together, right?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2609.495

No, no, no, no, no. Jesus Christ. I don't need to see that on a regular day.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2641.429

Enormous. First baby had that head. And I pushed literally for three and a half hours. And then they botched my epidural. So it became a spinal. So I would go from full paralysis to full pain. Full paralysis to full pain. I threw up for three and a half hours straight. Oh, that happened to my sister. It was terrible. And that big ass head.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2664.448

They had to, like, snip and get in and, like, twist her and get her out.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2899.873

I agree. That's a really great statement. Nice way to put it.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

2910.512

Like, you know what I'm saying? Well, you showed up this way to an extent. Yeah, I don't know. That's who you are.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3048.342

No, but when you cook beer, it cooks down the alcohol. It doesn't, it's not alcoholic anymore.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3322.834

Yeah. And when you're regular and you're comfortable being regular, you can talk to anybody, right?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3334.987

I don't fucking know what you said. I have no idea what you said.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3341.693

Smell me. Smell. Okay. And what does that mean? Like you can sniff out inauthentic?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3363.86

She'll go, yeah, you didn't shower, dude. I smell you. It smells bad. It smells like Schmidt. Exactly. Next time, maybe Schmower.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3396.683

For real. Thank you, guys. Evan, have you been to Magic City? You've never been to Magic City? You're missing the cherry tip.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3419.597

I mean, I did grow up in Atlanta, so I do have... It's by the Greyhound Station. Well, I don't know where that is. The Greenhouse Station?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3434.791

I grew up in Midtown. Oh, yeah. When my parents divorced, my dad stayed on a farm in Bowdoin, and my mom took me to Midtown Atlanta.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3447.815

I went to school on 10th Street. You're right there in the mix. Yeah, I know. Exactly, yes. Exactly what you're talking about. Yeah.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3455.789

There's probably some more if you want some more. I don't know. I'm going to make... Look at those hands.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3497.894

Well, you're young. What do you do with the rest of your life?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3533.926

You mean relaxation. Just not for any, like, reason reasons. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3543.753

Good, good. Ain't nobody looking for me. Just check it. Just check it.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3567.125

I love that. That's great. I love that. That's a great point.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3667.682

We take it for granted, don't we? The simplest things. I mean, even all these fires in L.A., they sent a notice out that said, you need to boil your water for two weeks. And I was like, wow, I can't even brush my teeth anymore unless I boil.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3729.162

Anyway, how exactly are you building this community that you're just talking about? So that's what we started with. I said, how are you building the community? And you started talking about how there's so many people in Cincinnati. Okay, hang on. I got to interrupt again. Hold on.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3751.075

He doesn't understand who I really am entirely. I understand him. He doesn't understand me. That's about right.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3758.28

That's about right. That is a typical wife answer. That's about right.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3794.112

So what I'm trying to get to is, is there something in your community that we can inspire people to donate to or help with, this community you're building in Cincinnati? If not, then I'll just drop the subject.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3834.928

You know, what's really important was important for me because I grew up in a very blue collar, very modest family, like the typical white trash, like cars on blocks type family. And when I got to a certain age, I realized that I didn't have a resource to figure out like even how to deal with money. Yeah.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3855.277

So I had to start reading books about how to think about money differently than what I was exposed to. And I think a mentorship in communities that don't have resources like that, there was no one in my community that made a lot of money. That is so true. And so, I mean, I'm also white, so I have a different advantage than other minorities in our country, but I still didn't have a resource. Yeah.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3880.851

So just to, like I started reading books, like this is so dumb, but I read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3890.601

It totally changed my whole brain. But I had no resource for that where I grew up.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3916.562

But then you recalibrate how you think about it, and then all of a sudden, at the end of the day, you buy whatever the fuck you want, right?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3927.767

He did. He did. I did not. My dad was a mechanic. You live with two roommates in a log cabin with no heat. Come on. We didn't have a lot of resources.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3939.349

No, he lived in the back of the convenience store he owned, which was behind the refrigerator. So he had to walk through the refrigerator to get to his apartment. It was ice cold. It had no windows. That's how I grew up.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3952.132

To get to my dad. It was a studio apartment that was behind the cooler. That's us who raised me.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3960.634

In his own way. Yeah. Except definitely hit a ceiling with how to deal with certain issues.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

3967.796

So I had to go out of that. Figure it out. To figure out other ways. I'm not living behind the Bud Light cooler. Yeah. That's not my end game. For sure. I like something a little more elevated.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

4003.194

Sam, wherever you at. We missed you. Here's your soup. Cheers, Sam. Thanks for doing this to me.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

423.179

I was dating a guy that lived in Decatur when I was turned 21, and my stepdad bought me a 38 for my car just to go see him.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

498.135

Of course, yeah. I mean, I grew up trailer trash, and you don't think about it. And then you come out and you go, huh, yeah, that maybe wasn't the best. It wasn't like what you're talking about. But it's definitely not how I live today.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

693.454

Yeah, I know. What did you like about it? Like the power of it? Like the adrenaline of it? All of it?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

752.262

That would be a terrible question to ask. Yeah, it would be. Do you like CeeLo Green? No, you keep going.

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

771.559

I'm fascinated by people like yourself who come from really difficult backgrounds and circumstances, no matter what they are, and become something great because you obviously became something really great. So there had to be some piece of you that valued yourself or understood the world in a different way than the people you grew up with, right?

Bertcast

Something’s Burning: Waiting for Warren Sapp with Pacman + Tish Jones & LeeAnn | S5 E04

791.704

Because there are people you grew up with that are probably still doing that or dead or whatever, but you didn't do that. So why?
