Transcripts

Fuzz:

Wow.

Fuzz:

Yeah.

Fuzz:

Stay out of

Fuzz:

those storms.

Danny:

Stay out of the storms, people.

Danny:

If you have to go anywhere, take a boat and, you know, cause at least that way, if

Danny:

you capsize, you're gone anyway, you know, it's quicker than falling twenty thousand

Danny:

feet and knowing it's going to happen.

Fuzz:

I know.

Fuzz:

I don't see it.

Fuzz:

I disagree with you.

Fuzz:

See, if you fall twenty thousand feet, the end is quick.

Fuzz:

If your, boat tips over.

Fuzz:

It might take a while.

Danny:

Hi, and welcome to Five Random Questions, the show where

Danny:

every question is an adventure.

Danny:

I'm your host, Danny Brown, and each week I'll be asking my guests five questions

Danny:

created by a random question generator.

Danny:

The guest has no idea what the questions are, and neither do I,

Danny:

which means this could go either way.

Danny:

So, sit back, relax, and let's dive into this week's episode.

Danny:

This week, I'm speaking to Fuzz Martin, who's the Partner and

Danny:

Chief Strategy Officer at Epic Creative, an advertising agency.

Danny:

He's also the host of 15 Minutes with Fuzz and co host of the Tech

Danny:

Tools for Teachers podcast, which I believe that's with your wife, Fuzz.

Fuzz:

Yep, that's right.

Danny:

Awesome.

Danny:

So, welcome to the show.

Danny:

Thanks for appearing.

Fuzz:

Thank you.

Fuzz:

I'm kind of nervous not, not being on a podcast, but with having Five Random

Fuzz:

Questions, I don't know what to expect.

Fuzz:

So

Danny:

And that's, I think, the, the fun thing.

Danny:

It's like, I don't know what they are.

Danny:

We're going to find out what they are when we spin the wheel.

Fuzz:

All right, we'll find out together.

Danny:

So it

Danny:

could go any way.

Danny:

And Fuzz, I mean, we've known each other for a while now, I feel.

Danny:

Obviously, we've never met in person in person, but I'd say a good

Danny:

eighteen months, maybe two years, at least, on the old Twitter and

Danny:

various podcasts, communities, etc.

Fuzz:

Yeah, definitely.

Fuzz:

It's been at least that I think with COVID it might've actually been been

Fuzz:

longer cause we've you never know where that time's gone with COVID.

Fuzz:

We definitely started talking sometime during that, that ether in there during,

Fuzz:

When I had started, I had switched over to to a different podcasting platform and

Fuzz:

started getting involved with some of the podcasting groups and you're very active

Fuzz:

in there and you're very, very helpful.

Fuzz:

And we, we connected there and we chat a lot and I think we've got a lot of

Fuzz:

similar thoughts on things in the world.

Fuzz:

So we chat a lot on online, so I appreciate, appreciate that

Fuzz:

and appreciate you having me on and, and yeah, it's been great.

Danny:

First year, wow, COVID.

Danny:

Yeah, that's like, that seems such a long time ago.

Danny:

I mean, obviously it's still around, but it seems a while when it first,

Danny:

when it first kicked off four years now.

Fuzz:

Yeah, it has been, it has been a while and also feels like it

Fuzz:

was yesterday all at the same time.

Danny:

And I mentioned, obviously you're at Epic Creative, which is

Danny:

a full service advertising agency.

Danny:

And something that caught my eye and that I just want you to talk a

Danny:

bit about was you're located in an art museum because you've got Epic.

Danny:

Eighty five people.

Danny:

Is that correct?

Fuzz:

Yeah, that's correct.

Fuzz:

So we're in an old, the old Museum of Wisconsin Arts, which is in a town called

Fuzz:

West Bend, Wisconsin, which is just north of Milwaukee, which is for those listening

Fuzz:

globally is about ninety minutes north of Chicago, Illinois in the US here.

Fuzz:

And we are, it's, so this, this old Museum of Wisconsin

Fuzz:

Art was built in the thirties.

Fuzz:

And then they built onto this.

Fuzz:

So we've got this really cool old building.

Fuzz:

I'm actually broadcasting in here from an old storage closet where they used to keep

Fuzz:

exhibits and I turned it into a studio and but yeah, we have we have 85 employees.

Fuzz:

We do everything from animation and 3D things like that to website design.

Fuzz:

Public relations, social media, and pretty much anything you can

Fuzz:

think of in the advertising world.

Fuzz:

So I came in from radio.

Fuzz:

I moved over to Epic about thirteen years ago.

Fuzz:

I had started in radio as a copywriter and on air guy, came over here as a

Fuzz:

copywriter and PR guy, and then bought in and now I'm one of the owners and,

Fuzz:

and head of strategy here at, at Epic.

Fuzz:

So, pretty fun.

Fuzz:

And we've grown tremendously and.

Fuzz:

And I love it.

Fuzz:

And I still get to do this whole podcast on the side.

Fuzz:

So this is, this this touch touches my, the thing I loved

Fuzz:

about radio was being able to do this and talk to people like you.

Fuzz:

And the thing that I didn't like was the pay and the long hours.

Danny:

Awesome.

Danny:

And no doubt, we'll find out more about you as we go through the, the episode.

Danny:

But I feel we've got five questions awaiting for us.

Danny:

So let me bring up my funny question random generator.

Danny:

Let's see where we go from here.

Danny:

And you mentioned you've got like obviously good

Danny:

advertising and PR background.

Danny:

So are you going to be spinning the questions making

Danny:

them up a positive outcome?

Fuzz:

I hope so.

Fuzz:

We'll see.

Fuzz:

We'll see.

Fuzz:

See how good I am at PR and spin.

Danny:

Alrighty.

Danny:

So let's dive in then.

Danny:

Let's see where we go.

Danny:

Like I say, I have no idea what the questions are.

Danny:

I've brought up my little spin the wheel question generator.

Danny:

And we'll see where we go there, Fuzz.

Danny:

Let's go.

Fuzz:

Alright.

Danny:

Question one.

Danny:

You're about to get into a fight.

Danny:

What song comes on as your soundtrack?

Fuzz:

What song comes on?

Fuzz:

Okay.

Fuzz:

So when I was a kid, I grew up in a, a little small town in kind of

Fuzz:

rural Wisconsin, and when we used to drive our our cars through the

Fuzz:

rural, like windy roads there was a A song called black sunshine by,

Fuzz:

I think it was from White Zombie.

Fuzz:

I think it's a White Zombie it's called yeah, black, black sunshine.

Fuzz:

It was like sweet in the ride, black sunshine.

Fuzz:

And I, I think that's I think it was, I think it was white zombie, but anyway.

Fuzz:

It is one of those songs where whenever I hear it, I'm like,

Fuzz:

all right, I am ready to go.

Fuzz:

And I think that would be the song that I would play otherwise.

Fuzz:

If that song was unavailable to me, have you ever seen the movie Dirty

Fuzz:

Work with Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange from like the nineties ish?

Danny:

I haven't no Dirty Work it's called.

Fuzz:

Yeah, Dirty Work.

Fuzz:

It is.

Fuzz:

It's hilarious.

Fuzz:

It's obviously a comedy but there's a scene in there where Chris Farley,

Fuzz:

it's one of Chris Farley's last movies.

Fuzz:

You could tell he was kind of on his way out at that point, and he's like,

Fuzz:

street fighting man, G7, and he pushes the jukebox when this bar fight's about

Fuzz:

to start, and he the guy goes, you just hit G8, and it starts playing.

Fuzz:

If you like pina coladas, you just And it's absolutely hilarious, but

Fuzz:

but yeah, it was a black sunshine would be my, my choice of songs there.

Fuzz:

And I have to see a black sunshine

Danny:

And is that because it's like a, it's like a really aggressive

Danny:

song or get you in the mood there?

Fuzz:

Yeah, it's very, very aggressive.

Fuzz:

It's got a, yeah, it's a, it's a from white zombie.

Fuzz:

It's a very aggressive, it's very like metal hard hitting and just it.

Fuzz:

Yeah.

Fuzz:

I always had adrenaline when I was listening to that song.

Fuzz:

And I, I think that's the first song to think of when I think, all right, I need

Fuzz:

a song that's going to help me funnel my adrenaline into focus and aggression.

Danny:

And are you a fighter?

Danny:

That's the main question for us.

Fuzz:

In the year of our Lord twenty twenty four, no, I am not a fighter.

Fuzz:

But when I was a a 17 year old kid fighting hormones maybe a little bit.

Fuzz:

Yes.

Fuzz:

So I was always a big kid.

Fuzz:

Like I played football and all that.

Fuzz:

Worked out a lot.

Fuzz:

So I always had like a lot of testosterone and muscle and

Fuzz:

didn't know what to do with it.

Fuzz:

So I always had to have, you know, kind of outlets for my strength and, and I guess

Fuzz:

the dumbness that comes with being young.

Fuzz:

And I, I needed to learn how to channel that.

Fuzz:

And it took getting older and maturity to.

Fuzz:

Kind of harness that, and I've definitely grown and harnessed that

Fuzz:

as I've gotten older and educated, so.

Danny:

And just a little bonus question for this actually, so Anchorman,

Danny:

you've seen Anchorman, Anchorman 2?

Fuzz:

Oh yeah.

Danny:

Awesome.

Danny:

So I think it's in the second one where all the news teams come together for a

Danny:

fight in the park or something like that.

Danny:

What weapon would you bring to the fight whilst this song's

Danny:

playing in the background?

Fuzz:

Oh, you know, I'm always a fan of a baseball bat with

Fuzz:

barbed wire wrapped around it.

Fuzz:

I think that's I mean, if you're gonna if you're gonna get into a

Fuzz:

fight with a bunch of news anchors, that's probably the best one.

Fuzz:

That's the one.

Danny:

I feel this is something from your 17 year old days.

Danny:

We'll have to revisit that sometime.

Danny:

Awesome.

Danny:

Alrighty, let's have a look at question number two.

Danny:

So let's clear this one up and let's spin the wheel for question two.

Danny:

Oh, interesting.

Danny:

If you could kill off a character from a TV show, movie, or novel, who would it be?

Danny:

And I'm going to add a bonus why there as well.

Fuzz:

If I could kill off a character from a TV show, movie,

Fuzz:

or novel, who would it be?

Fuzz:

This is me stalling because I'm trying to think of which

Fuzz:

character.

Danny:

And I'm going to make it harder for you.

Danny:

It's got to be a character that's not already been killed off in that medium.

Fuzz:

No, I know.

Fuzz:

And I am really trying to think of who Who I would have killed off.

Fuzz:

I am kind of thinking well, I guess he's kind of killed off already.

Fuzz:

So in one of the last movies all right, I'm going to just

Fuzz:

go a little controversial.

Fuzz:

I'm going to say I'm going to say Rey in the final Star Wars sequels and only

Fuzz:

because I just to make it interesting only because Somehow Palpatine survived.

Fuzz:

I don't know.

Danny:

Wait a minute.

Danny:

Are you blaming Rey for somehow Palpatine?

Fuzz:

I'm not blaming Rey for that.

Fuzz:

It wasn't Rey's fault.

Fuzz:

I, I the, the question was random and I didn't have a

Fuzz:

lot of time to think about it.

Fuzz:

I was, I was looking for a main character.

Fuzz:

I don't know.

Danny:

I mean, Rey's a main character.

Danny:

She's getting her own

Danny:

movie next

Danny:

year, the year after, I think.

Fuzz:

And that's the thing though, like I, as a kid, Danny, you grew

Fuzz:

up in like the eighties, right?

Fuzz:

I mean, like you're probably around the same age as I am the, I grew up

Fuzz:

thinking that we were never going to get any star Wars ever again.

Fuzz:

So I am of the ilk that no Star Wars is bad Star Wars because.

Fuzz:

I never thought we were going to get any, and now I'll take whatever we can get.

Fuzz:

I'm kind of like, whatever we get is fine.

Fuzz:

So I'm, I was good with, I was good with the prequels.

Fuzz:

I was good with the sequels, but I'm, I was also kind of like,

Fuzz:

Oh, what if there was a different direction that that movie went?

Fuzz:

What if they redeemed Ben solo and, and Rey, I don't know.

Fuzz:

You asked the question and I answered.

Fuzz:

I'm not taking it back.

Danny:

And I think that there was maybe, and I could be wrong here, I think maybe

Danny:

one of the original script treatments for either Last Jedi, or maybe I'm thinking of

Danny:

Return of the Rise of Skywalker, I could be wrong, but I know obviously there was

Danny:

that part where Rey showed her dark side, so you had dark Rey, and I think that

Danny:

could have been interesting, like you say, if Ben had been the one that was redeemed

Danny:

and Rey was the one that turned and how that whole dynamic could have shifted.

Fuzz:

There you go.

Fuzz:

I, when I said Rey died, I meant that her light side died and she turned into Darth,

Danny:

Rey,

Fuzz:

something.

Danny:

Darth Rey, that'd be awesome.

Danny:

Darth Radar.

Fuzz:

Yes, Darth Radar, love it.

Danny:

Cause then she could see ships coming as well and she'd

Danny:

make the beeping noises as she's sensing them with the force.

Danny:

Yeah.

Danny:

How do you find the and the Star Wars TV shows, like the

Danny:

Acolyte and Ahsoka and all that?

Fuzz:

So we, we've watched all three episodes as we're

Fuzz:

recording this of Acolyte.

Fuzz:

And I hope it picks up a little bit, but but you know, we're, we're going to

Fuzz:

give it, we're going to be open minded.

Fuzz:

I've loved the other shows the, Oh what was the blanking on the last ones

Danny:

Andor?

Fuzz:

Yeah.

Fuzz:

And, or, and, or it was great.

Fuzz:

And, or it was great.

Fuzz:

Obi Wan, we liked you know, obviously Mandalorian all Book

Fuzz:

of Boba Fett that was okay.

Fuzz:

Like we, we watched them all.

Fuzz:

And Ahsoka, you know, my youngest daughter loves Ahsoka.

Fuzz:

We're, we're all in on Ahsoka.

Fuzz:

So we watched them all.

Fuzz:

We, that's like our appointment TV these days are those Disney shows.

Fuzz:

So, yeah.

Danny:

No, maybe they're going to add dark Rey to make a special

Danny:

appearance somewhere down the line.

Fuzz:

Maybe it'll happen.

Fuzz:

Who knows?

Fuzz:

How about you?

Fuzz:

Are you, are you into them?

Danny:

I am.

Danny:

Yeah.

Danny:

I, I didn't enjoy Book of Boba Fett as much.

Danny:

I thought they wasted his character a bit and made it, it was weird how the, for

Danny:

me anyway, the better episodes was when Mando actually appeared as a guest almost.

Danny:

And like episode, I think it was a five when it was just purely

Danny:

dedicated to Luke and Grogu training.

Danny:

I thought that was kind of strange, but yeah, I, for the most part,

Danny:

I really enjoy the live action.

Danny:

I think Dave Filoni is doing a really good job.

Danny:

And episode three of the Acolyte, I thought the first two dragged a bit,

Danny:

pacing was a little bit off, and the run time was pretty slow, so that

Danny:

didn't really allow for development.

Danny:

I thought episode three with the different director and the

Danny:

extra run time was really good.

Danny:

I, I really enjoyed getting into the lore and, you know, the, the, the other, the

Danny:

other versions of the force, if you like.

Danny:

So, yeah, curious to see where it goes.

Fuzz:

Yeah, definitely.

Danny:

All righty.

Danny:

So Rey is going to die.

Danny:

. Fuzz: Sorry Rey.

Danny:

This is gonna be, this gonna be the shortest show ever.

Danny:

I'm gonna get blocked by everybody after episode one.

Danny:

. This is . Alrighty.

Fuzz:

Now, I'm the one who

Fuzz:

said, you can cancel me

Fuzz:

. Danny: Okay.

Fuzz:

Let's have a look now for question number three.

Fuzz:

Okay.

Fuzz:

Oh, this is a good one actually.

Fuzz:

I like this.

Fuzz:

If you could make a rule for a day and everyone had to

Fuzz:

follow it, what would it be?

Fuzz:

All right.

Fuzz:

If I had to make a rule for a day and everyone had to follow it, I could go

Fuzz:

with like a really like, like I'm tempted to like to go for a really powerful

Fuzz:

rule, but then I had this rule this morning that I wish I could just snap

Fuzz:

my fingers and this rule would exist in the world and it could never be done.

Fuzz:

And if you, if you broke this rule, you would be arrested and never able to work

Fuzz:

in the industry that you work in again.

Fuzz:

And that is if you.

Fuzz:

Use either a siren or a cell phone ringing or vibrating in a radio or

Fuzz:

podcast ad that you'll be arrested.

Fuzz:

That is my rule because if you're driving.

Fuzz:

And you hear a siren or a phone ringing or vibrating and it distracts you and

Fuzz:

you think that it's yours or you think there's a police car or an ambulance

Fuzz:

behind you could spell trouble.

Fuzz:

So that was a gripe from today and it and it has been for for years

Fuzz:

and you know, having worked in the industry, but I, I don't like it and

Fuzz:

people still do it to this day and yes, it gets attention, but it's.

Fuzz:

It's a cheap way of getting attention.

Fuzz:

Don't do it.

Fuzz:

Don't be, don't be cheap.

Fuzz:

Find other ways.

Danny:

It's actually a good rule.

Danny:

You say you're driving and you listen to a podcast and all

Danny:

of a sudden you hear a siren.

Danny:

You're going to pull over, which could cause an accident.

Danny:

So the car behind you.

Danny:

It's just driving normal speed, and you slow and pull.

Danny:

Yeah, that makes sense.

Danny:

I don't know why people would use that.

Danny:

Like you say, just for attention, it seems a weird one to use.

Fuzz:

It does, and I think, I think it's usually just either laziness or

Fuzz:

people don't think about it too much, or they're like, oh, we're doing, you

Fuzz:

know, whatever this, you know, we're, we're putting a police officer in this

Fuzz:

ad, so let's use a siren sound effect to imply that there's a police officer.

Fuzz:

And it's it's not cool, man.

Fuzz:

Don't do it.

Danny:

So what would you replace it with?

Danny:

What would be your ideal?

Danny:

Just like a little chime or something, or,

Fuzz:

I don't know.

Fuzz:

You can like somebody, you know, tapping on the window with a I dunno, the,

Fuzz:

the back of a flashlight or something, or, there's so many ways there, there

Fuzz:

are so many more creative ways to paint a picture in somebody's mind

Fuzz:

than having to be on the nose with a siren that you can get away with.

Fuzz:

And it just depends on what, what you're trying to create, but it

Fuzz:

doesn't have to just be that.

Fuzz:

So same with cell phones, it could be, you know, pushing, you know,

Fuzz:

hearing the, the button like the beep when you push a button or something

Fuzz:

else that doesn't have to be.

Fuzz:

The, the phone buzzing and sounds like it's on the seat next to you,

Fuzz:

or, you know, especially if, if the ring is a ring that everybody knows,

Fuzz:

because it's like an Apple or a standard Android ring, like one that

Fuzz:

people think might actually be theirs.

Fuzz:

If it's something that's like you, you made, or that it's like nonstandard,

Fuzz:

then people might, you know, they won't know because it's not their typical

Fuzz:

phone, but if it's like the standard.

Fuzz:

Apple ring or Android ring.

Fuzz:

Don't do it

Danny:

It's like the the movies, right?

Danny:

When they're trying to set the scene or TV shows or whatever, and they'll

Danny:

show a picture of the Eiffel Tower and they'll say overlaid Paris, France.

Danny:

You think I know that most people know the Eiffel Tower or you'll

Danny:

get like the Empire State Building.

Danny:

Yeah, I know the overlay where you are and you think, but we know that

Danny:

it just seems a bit superfluous there.

Danny:

That's that's kind of my gripe.

Danny:

I think.

Danny:

Yeah, exactly.

Danny:

Alrighty, so yeah, so we don't want police following us at all, whether

Danny:

it's on a podcast or properly.

Danny:

Alrighty, so let's get rid of that question.

Danny:

We're three fifths of the way through.

Danny:

So what have we got for question four?

Danny:

Killing it here.

Danny:

Killing it, mate.

Danny:

What will you look like in 20 years time?

Fuzz:

In 20 years time, alright, so I am 45 as of right now, so

Fuzz:

20 years I'll be 65 years old.

Fuzz:

So, I am, well, I still have most of my hair, so I'm guessing that

Fuzz:

won't be the case in 20 years.

Fuzz:

And if I do have hair, it'll most likely be white.

Fuzz:

And right now it's kind of, I don't know, blondish brown.

Fuzz:

I'm colorblind.

Fuzz:

I don't even know what color my hair is.

Fuzz:

Brown.

Fuzz:

And I'm, I'm hoping that I stay you know, like working out and kind of

Fuzz:

hopefully like, don't, you know, like I don't look like my uncles.

Fuzz:

I hope my, my uncles won't be listening to this.

Fuzz:

I hope I don't look like my uncles and have like, go down those genes at their

Fuzz:

65 cause their profile looks like.

Fuzz:

Like, I don't know, Yogi bear kind of shape, but that runs in the family.

Fuzz:

And I'll be fighting that between now and then.

Fuzz:

So, but I just hope to stay in shape and I'm certain I'll not have hair and I'm

Fuzz:

probably have white skin and wrinkles, but that's you know, that like, but people

Fuzz:

at 65 these days compared to when I was.

Fuzz:

You know, a kid, people at 65 look pretty good, I'd say, most case.

Fuzz:

Yeah.

Fuzz:

So, I mean, people who live right, I guess, not, not everybody, but those

Fuzz:

who make good choices and are you know, go easy on the sun, they're all right.

Fuzz:

I wear sunscreen, I put on lotion.

Fuzz:

Hopefully I'll look all right.

Fuzz:

You moisturize.

Fuzz:

I moisturize.

Fuzz:

I go, I get my annual checkup, I go to the doctor, hopefully you Hopefully I

Fuzz:

still look good by the time, I'll, I'll be like getting ready for bed at night

Fuzz:

and my wife will be getting ready for bed and she'll take like some, I don't know,

Fuzz:

retinol or something and she'll like, like smear it in between my eye, like in

Fuzz:

between my eyes and she'll like rub that in so you don't get a she calls it a peace

Fuzz:

symbol because her dad's got this like big wrinkle peace symbol in between his eyes.

Fuzz:

So, yeah, so I guess but I'm, you know, what I'm, who am I kidding?

Fuzz:

I'm going to be 65 years old and I'm not going to live forever.

Fuzz:

So and we're allowed to age, Danny, right?

Danny:

Yeah, exactly.

Danny:

I feel you mentioned that people now about 65 generally look better than

Danny:

say what we remember 65 year olds as kids or teens growing up, et cetera.

Danny:

And I wonder if that's more to do with there being a lot more.

Danny:

like tech and service led jobs, etc, where you're not working down a mine

Danny:

or you're not out in the field, etc.

Danny:

So obviously you're doing harder labor and you're open to these elements, etc.

Danny:

And like you say, I mean, we used to play as kids out in the sun.

Danny:

We didn't put any sunscreen on whatsoever, didn't even have

Danny:

sunscreen at that time, I don't think.

Danny:

So yeah, I look at my My folks that are, say, older now than me, obviously,

Danny:

they would be, but yeah, they're, they're look older because they've

Danny:

been out and had harder lives, etc.

Danny:

So yeah, that plays a big part as well, I think.

Fuzz:

Yeah, absolutely.

Fuzz:

And that, vitamins, access to health care.

Fuzz:

Not smoking three packs of unfiltered cigarettes every day before downing a

Fuzz:

bottle of whiskey, you know, all that, I mean, for most of us, some people

Fuzz:

still do that, and that's their choice.

Danny:

And would you ever, I mean, maybe, maybe not, but if, if you

Danny:

were of a mindset, would you ever have any work done from a vanity

Danny:

point of view, do you think, or?

Fuzz:

I don't think I would.

Fuzz:

I don't have, I don't think I have any reason to, I mean, I am not.

Fuzz:

A model.

Fuzz:

I am a, I guess I am kind of a politician, but I'm like a local politician where

Fuzz:

it doesn't really matter if I, if I, what it doesn't matter what I look like.

Fuzz:

And I, hopefully I will not be a local politician in 20 years because I just

Fuzz:

wanted to get a couple of things done locally and I've gotten them done.

Fuzz:

So I don't think I can continue to do that forever.

Danny:

And what got you into that then?

Fuzz:

I wanted to see some change, some positive change locally.

Fuzz:

And there were, I was not satisfied with the people that were currently in office.

Fuzz:

So instead of sitting back and complaining about it, I chose to take action and

Fuzz:

actually do something about it and I did it and then now I'm in it and.

Fuzz:

Get to hear people complain and, you know, like that, we're not doing

Fuzz:

this, or we did this instead of this.

Fuzz:

And I totally understand and empathize, you know, with everybody's thought,

Fuzz:

but I really believe if you want to see change, you got to be part of the process.

Fuzz:

And so here I am.

Fuzz:

And then once I've finished what I want to do, I'm not going to be in it forever.

Fuzz:

I don't have aspirations of being a, any higher politician.

Fuzz:

I just wanted to wanted to improve some things and I've done it and I got dogs

Fuzz:

in the parks and I wanted to be able to walk my dog in our park and gosh, darn it.

Fuzz:

We did it

Danny:

Well, that's the only reason you're going to politics, isn't it?

Danny:

Getting the dog there.

Danny:

The Unleashed Dog Park or the Free Dog Park, etc.

Danny:

That's what you want.

Danny:

That's awesome.

Danny:

And that's good.

Danny:

I mean, like you said, so many people, it's easy to complain and,

Danny:

you know bitch and holler about it.

Danny:

But it's, it's not a lot of people actually do anything about it, so kudos.

Fuzz:

Yeah, thank you.

Danny:

Alrighty.

Danny:

So, we've reached almost the end.

Danny:

We've now got question number five.

Danny:

So, let's see what it brings up for us.

Danny:

And here we go.

Danny:

Let's spin this wheel for the final time on this episode.

Danny:

Hmm, okay.

Danny:

That's a good one.

Danny:

I was thinking about this today actually.

Danny:

I was having a conversation online which is relevant to this.

Danny:

Okay, so the question is, question number five.

Danny:

What is one thing you refuse to share in social media?

Fuzz:

So one thing that I refuse to share in social media, I'm

Fuzz:

pretty open in social media, but I do not air personal grievances or

Fuzz:

family grievances on social media.

Fuzz:

I hate when people air family drama or like passive aggressive

Fuzz:

family things on social media.

Fuzz:

I, I don't think that that's a place for it.

Fuzz:

I really think if you.

Fuzz:

You want to share that with somebody, share it with a therapist share it with

Fuzz:

the person you're angry with have a conversation with them, sit down one

Fuzz:

to one and, and talk to them about it.

Fuzz:

But when people, I see it all the time on Facebook or on other platforms where they.

Fuzz:

You know, my Oh, I can't believe my dumb husband did this or my wife did this.

Fuzz:

I, I don't think that's the place for it.

Fuzz:

I think that's even, you know, when somebody's talking about their parents

Fuzz:

or their kids, you know, even, even their young kids, it's like, they're

Fuzz:

going to learn and see it someday.

Fuzz:

It's social media.

Fuzz:

It's there.

Fuzz:

It's pretty much permanent.

Fuzz:

And I don't think it belongs there.

Fuzz:

Also, I try to stay away from sharing.

Fuzz:

Like personal information about my kids.

Fuzz:

One of my children's is older.

Fuzz:

She's turning 20 here in a month.

Fuzz:

And my younger is nine.

Fuzz:

So like, I've tried to keep them, like keep their names off social and things

Fuzz:

like that until like the older ones now on social and she tags me and things.

Fuzz:

So it's harder to like do that these days, but the younger one, I don't post her

Fuzz:

name and those kinds of things on there.

Fuzz:

And, And that, so, but like from a sharing on social, like I, you know,

Fuzz:

I've been on social media since it, you know, since Mark Zuckerberg flipped the

Fuzz:

switch, essentially actually since Tom flipped the switch on my space, I guess.

Fuzz:

And I've been kind of in it and using it since it came out.

Fuzz:

So it's.

Fuzz:

Kind of evolved with it and probably started oversharing back in the day.

Fuzz:

So the, but as I've gotten older, I think a lot of the, I'm sharing less

Fuzz:

these days than I used to, but it's still a, I, I don't think that personal

Fuzz:

grievances, spats between husbands and wives boyfriends, girlfriends, or

Fuzz:

partners need their place on social media.

Fuzz:

Some of it elsewhere.

Danny:

It's yeah, I this has gone back a few years.

Danny:

I think it was I'm going to say twenty sixteen, something like that.

Danny:

And there's a bunch of us have had a conversation on a Facebook

Danny:

group and it was a public group, so it wasn't locked down.

Danny:

It wasn't private, anything like that.

Danny:

So obviously anybody could see it.

Danny:

And the, the, the husband was on chatting away and then the wife came

Danny:

on cause she was part of the group too.

Danny:

And she laid into him for something he hadn't done at home and then we're saying,

Danny:

we're trying to stay in the back channel.

Danny:

We don't don't air this, you know, and they're still going at each other.

Danny:

And then she said something about okay, well, in that case, I'm glad

Danny:

that I screwed your best friend.

Danny:

And we thought that was just like a.

Danny:

you know, an insult, just throw it out there.

Danny:

Turns out she had.

Danny:

And so, so this went, that escalated quickly, you know,

Danny:

gone from Anchorman's line.

Danny:

But yeah, so it turned out, I mean, they got divorced about six months

Danny:

later or so, and that all stemmed from something that could have been handled.

Danny:

I mean, they might've still got divorced.

Danny:

Obviously that's a big, that's a big thing, but they would have been between

Danny:

them and they would have, you know, we would have been any the wiser.

Danny:

But then we knew, okay, well wow, she did that.

Danny:

And, you know, so yeah, I, I, I, I can never understand, like

Danny:

you say, mate, why people air so much dirty the laundry as well.

Danny:

It's not just little things often, it's like big personal things

Danny:

that should be, I feel private.

Fuzz:

Yeah, exactly.

Fuzz:

And social media is, you know, they're starting to teach it in schools.

Fuzz:

They're starting to teach kids.

Fuzz:

I forget the term for it on my wife's podcast.

Fuzz:

She, she talks about different tools that teachers can use for helping

Fuzz:

students in their classrooms.

Fuzz:

They are teaching the digital citizenship.

Fuzz:

That's what it's called.

Fuzz:

And, They are starting to teach students about these things and about

Fuzz:

your digital footprint and about how to, I guess, hold yourself online.

Fuzz:

And I think, you know, more and more kids of the, you know, Gen Z, Gen

Fuzz:

Alpha, you know, those kids coming behind them will have a more of a

Fuzz:

baseline because we've, Learned poorly before them and have, you know, kind

Fuzz:

of baptism by fire experience with it.

Fuzz:

But I think that, you know, we didn't get a good shot at this.

Fuzz:

And I think a lot of people like the attention that it

Fuzz:

comes, that comes with it.

Fuzz:

The instant dopamine spike you get when you see, you know, the, the care emoji

Fuzz:

or something like that, when you post.

Fuzz:

You know, some drama that happened and other people like to see the drama

Fuzz:

because other people feed off that.

Fuzz:

And so that but it doesn't, it doesn't belong there and it doesn't help anything.

Fuzz:

It doesn't solve anything.

Fuzz:

So it just creates more problems.

Danny:

And it's good to see the kids getting a better education as far as

Danny:

social media goes today and the pitfalls.

Danny:

I know my daughter I accidentally found out she had a TikTok account the

Danny:

other day because she liked one of my videos and I thought, I know that name.

Danny:

So I went over and she's only, I mean, she's not even quite 13 yet.

Danny:

She's about midway through her 12th year.

Danny:

And we've spoken to her, we've spoken to both kids about, you know, that bit.

Danny:

I checked out her profile and she's got it locked down.

Danny:

She's only got X amount of friends that are allowed to view.

Danny:

She's got a profile and that, so she knows.

Danny:

You know about that.

Danny:

But a lot of that as well came from school too.

Danny:

They were educating.

Danny:

They have people come in, you know, counsellors, et cetera, and social

Danny:

media experts that help companies come in and speak to kids about it.

Danny:

So it's good to see life lessons if you like being taught in school too now.

Fuzz:

Yeah, absolutely.

Fuzz:

And again, it's as we learn, we're able to teach from the

Fuzz:

lessons that we've learned, right?

Fuzz:

Do I get to ask you a question now?

Fuzz:

Is that how this works?

Danny:

You

Danny:

do, yes.

Danny:

I'm just going to suggest, I'm just going to say that to you.

Danny:

Yeah.

Danny:

So yeah, just keep things fair.

Danny:

So thank you for sharing your answers on the five questions.

Danny:

We'll see.

Danny:

I'm curious what the, the Star Wars Brigade makes out because I,

Danny:

I mean, I'm a huge Star Wars fan.

Danny:

You're obviously a Star Wars fan.

Danny:

You know what the, the fandom can be like there.

Fuzz:

Yeah.

Fuzz:

Oh, yeah.

Danny:

You know, so I'm curious.

Danny:

I'm going to make a little audio bite and just throw that out there

Danny:

and

Danny:

see.

Fuzz:

Oh, perfect.

Fuzz:

Thank you.

Danny:

And just

Danny:

point them right to you, mate.

Danny:

But yeah, it's only fair.

Danny:

I've asked you five questions, so you can throw a completely random question at me.

Fuzz:

All right, Danny.

Fuzz:

What has been, in your life, what has been your most frightening

Fuzz:

encounter with Mother Nature?

Danny:

Ooh ooh, frightening encounter.

Danny:

I'm gonna see probably a lightning storm that we, so I was on a plane

Danny:

coming back from where was I?

Danny:

New York, I think I was in New York.

Danny:

I think it was in New York and it was because it was a short flight.

Danny:

It's not like a two hour flight or something to Toronto something.

Danny:

It's not a big flight.

Danny:

And we were part of it.

Danny:

We got told it was a storm ahead, but we're going to fly around it because

Danny:

we still be on track and they could divert, but it's pretty heavy stuff.

Danny:

It's similar.

Danny:

The storm chased the plane.

Danny:

And you know yourself when you get it.

Danny:

into, you know turbulence and et cetera, it can be a bit heavy.

Danny:

So this one we probably dropped and everybody's obviously buckled up.

Danny:

So there was no injuries, but we probably dropped about a thousand

Danny:

feet in five seconds, 10 seconds.

Danny:

It might've been less, it might've been more than that.

Danny:

So I might be exaggerating.

Danny:

But you felt weightless and then it almost felt like a big flash outside

Danny:

and almost felt like the plane got hit.

Danny:

I don't think it did, and I believe you're safe up there.

Danny:

I'm not sure.

Danny:

I know, like, if you're in a car, if you're in a thunderstorm on the ground,

Danny:

one of the safest places is meant to be a car because they're earthed because of the

Danny:

rubber tires, I believe, if that's wrong.

Danny:

Don't come and sue me if you get electrocuted in a car.

Danny:

My bad.

Fuzz:

They won't be able to sue you, Danny.

Danny:

They'll be dead.

Danny:

Yeah.

Danny:

Okay.

Danny:

Well, I'll feel good for saying that then.

Danny:

But yes, that would probably be it.

Danny:

I mean, I, I've done when I was younger, anyway, I did like a bunch

Danny:

of, not mountain climbing, but big hill climbing and stuff like that and

Danny:

rock climbing and abseiling and stuff.

Danny:

And that's not quite mother nature, but it's kind of, and that was fine.

Danny:

It was more adrenaline.

Danny:

But I think because you don't have any control, right, you're stuck in a piece

Danny:

of metal, thirty thousand feet in the sky, whatever it was, you know, it might even

Danny:

be less because it's not a long flight.

Danny:

So I think that would probably be it, mate, which is why

Danny:

I don't like flying at all.

Danny:

I would do it, but I don't like it.

Fuzz:

Yeah, I don't blame you there.

Fuzz:

Yeah, that sounds, that sounds harrowing.

Fuzz:

Wow.

Fuzz:

Yeah.

Fuzz:

Stay out of those storms.

Danny:

Stay out of the storms, people.

Danny:

If you have to go anywhere, take a boat, you know, because at least that

Danny:

way if you capsize, you're gone anyway.

Danny:

You know, it's quicker than falling twenty thousand feet and

Danny:

knowing it's going to happen.

Fuzz:

I know.

Fuzz:

I don't see it.

Fuzz:

I disagree with you.

Fuzz:

See, if you fall twenty thousand feet, The end is quick.

Fuzz:

If your boat tips over, it might take a while.

Danny:

That is true.

Danny:

That is true.

Danny:

Yep.

Danny:

I mean, you could float for a bit.

Danny:

You could float for a while if you're doing the proper thing.

Danny:

You got your life jackets.

Fuzz:

Yeah, you know, just by freezing, you'd be just a frozen floating popsicle.

Danny:

Well, that's a nice morbid question and answer to finish off.

Danny:

So, Fuzz, before we wrap this up, I do want people to check out,

Danny:

obviously, not in that way, because I'm sure your wife would probably

Danny:

have something to say about it.

Danny:

Danny:

agency your podcasts that you do yourself and with your, your wife.
