forever and i'm gonna try to convince you to do that are you firing her we'll see right now no i just like i gotta i gotta keep danny uh stimulated you know what i'm saying i'm sure we're gonna dive into this conversation and this always happens with uh when i have people that i work with on this podcast um like when we had hayden on it's a bit therapeutic in a way uh and i'm sure we're gonna say some things in this podcast that we can both leave with to uh continue and further develop this this working relationship how are you i'm good i realize i like set up my drinks here beforehand for you but for myself yeah yeah because normally you do it for the guests right so what's it like sitting there and not behind the computer it feels a little like i i'm lacking a little bit of control oh yeah okay here's the good news you know that we're not here you know it's just the conversation we know each other um and have for a while now uh three years i think four actually we've been working we've known each other for known each other for four years okay working together for two and a half it's interesting what the inception of this relationship was yeah it just got taken away from us yeah yeah uh how do we even say this i don't know you go for it you go for it back in like 2017 i woke up one day and i was like i need a school bus and i bought one for nine thousand dollars and it was in new york and i didn't know how to get it to la because it was uh an older school bus like 1970 1980 and i and i i was like dad who lived in ohio i was like can you grab this school bus 2005. yeah in 2005. yeah oh i lied decades off yeah this is gonna that's gonna happen a lot in this episode yeah right danny's a stickler for uh for exactly she has her name on her own phone like hi like just in case she's like oh that's mine and that's one of her biggest strengths her attention to detail like it's fantastic we need her we need her i've said it often times she's the glue that holds the maverick house together yeah yeah just if it wasn't so far off i wouldn't have corrected it but please continue no i'm glad you did okay it's not a retro bus but it is an old bus and i only trusted my father to drive it from new york to california he posted on his instagram he's an adventure man he's like hey if anyone wants to join me on this ride feel free to do so and like five people he picked up along the way and you were one of them yeah you were one of the people that decided to get in the bus with greg paul and travel across the country i called i called my mom and my no i actually didn't tell my dad i called her and i was like hey there's this guy that just posted on instagram like i i know of his son he does these youtube videos so like i feel like he can't do anything bad because he's in the public light you spoke a little too soon for sure have you not heard this thing called me too that's been going around everybody in the industry no it wasn't it wasn't in a creepy way no i know but like it was just a random person on a random bus like it was very weird that's why i didn't tell my dad i literally was in la and my dad called me and was like what are you doing where are you at and how did you get there and how did you get there yeah and i was like ah here's the story but he was he was mad that i didn't tell him of course danny i gotta ask why'd you get on the [ __ ] bus then i needed i hannah montana tickets is that how you got the tickets no have you guys not heard of that [ __ ] like you don't go into a stranger's [ __ ] van yeah was it because it was a bust you're like here's what it is here's what it is i i love adventure and i love doing new things just like you said stimulation i i get i get tired of doing the same thing over and over again so i was in college i uh had been there for three years three years was like it's a lot yeah and uh it's actually two weeks before nationals for triathlon which was crazy because my coaches were like what are you doing this is like a big training weekend and i was like i gotta get out of here i gotta go do something else and i saw it online and i was like this is it this man driving this 2005 boss i swear there's nothing even dude are you the kind of person that likes i i i you said you like change but are you weird would you consider yourself a kind of a a weird person yeah but like in a great way like like a little bit different like you you like to do things that aren't exactly linear in life like you like to take risks oh [ __ ] yes she takes risks i'm worried about gp and i know him you got into a van when he was a stranger he's actually i will say this welcoming no yeah his first impressions are often fantastic right yeah but dude you're on a trip that's hours paul we had calls on the phone like twice before like so it wasn't just like super random he like vetted me and i kind of vetted him what was it what did he say that that calmed you enough to get onto this strange school bus with him or what did he say to you danny i don't know what was his life actually i don't like i i wasn't i i uh dm'd him and was just like are you passing through colorado right and he goes hell yeah colorado i love colorado oh cause that's where you were yeah because you went to college at colorado state university yeah fanta and that's holland and that's okay okay and every time we go to colorado yeah yeah you you i'm gonna meet up with some of my friends you yeah so i love when we go to colorado because selfishly but you like boulder and it doesn't make any sense to me actually does make sense because you are you and i am me yeah and fort collins is better than boulder is that there's like a rivalry or uh it's not even about the rivalry i don't i don't really care about that it's more just like fact truth okay okay got it so he passed through colorado he picked you up and then he dropped you off on vine street which is where i was in the bus yeah and um i was on a pretty gruesome like regiment there in the morning i'd wake up and i'd work out was the first thing you know 7 8 a.m and i remember the first night that you guys stayed over again there's like five of you that my dad brought i went to go work out and you were the only one that came with me yeah i was highly impressed i needed a workout in yeah cause you skipped your triathlon workout that's another thing danny's not uh not telling you maybe you guys don't know about you're an athlete yeah i remember the first time i saw you do a backflip yeah i was stunned what qualify yourself just so they know what kind type of specimen we're dealing with okay so i grew up doing gymnastics i did a bunch of other sports but gymnastics was like my main thing that i did and then that brought me to high school and in high school i joined the track team and started pole vaulting which kind of goes hand in hand with gymnastics i think that's why i was good at it okay um so i did that through high school i actually have my high school pole vaulting record so doesn't your brother also hold the pole vaulting recorder for mail yeah the strawbells just oh strawberries it's my family is very competitive and like very into sports and winning things so it's a little bit of a downfall i'll be honest because we would show up to like family reunions or like work events and they're like [ __ ] the strobles are here because we're all we just i feel like that's like a like a adam sandler movie where they come out of the van yeah yeah oh doyle rules throw a banana in front of you while you're driving down the street you drive your car off the cliff all right whatever adam sand the reference there guys so in high school was pole vaulting pole vaulted through high school got a scholarship actually to go pole vault at a college in uh in indiana and i was like i don't want to go i don't want to stay in indiana so i four went that went to colorado joined the triathlon team and then was a triathlete rock climber backpacker it's interesting how life kind of uh life kind of like had it i don't know that kind of just swept you up and did did what it did with you like because you were on the the path of maybe let's call it like a traditional traditional life right conventional conventional yeah yeah only i would say no only because ever since i was a kid there was no job like i was never headed towards corporate america i was never never headed towards that i hated high school was not good in high school graduated school early at 16 to just like go adventure somewhere to go do something and so how did you how did you graduate early um i just took extra classes okay it wasn't specifically like a grade thing i did fine i got like mostly b's yeah um but i took extra classes one summer so i could graduate early and then i went and did a backpacking trip for three months look this is this oh no i'm afraid to play it because i was so into you look so different yeah i don't want to talk about it but look no let's talk about her no none of that danny's right there oh my there god dude just arrived to l.a how funny is that to hang out with this youtuber i was hanging out the window of the the bus do you remember that yeah i do yeah are those the rest of the goonies that they're showing like who these are the other kids ashley and something they were all so cool than normal it honestly was uh it was stunning they were just down for adventure this video should be used as an anti-kidnapping like commercial like like these five children got on a bus with a strange middle-aged man and ended up on melrose los angeles are you ready for the craziest part that's just like truth behind the scenes yeah is greg actually knew the twins from a previous friend of a friend kyle was a friend of the twins i was the only random one oh god everyone else was like and you're the only one that's stuck think about that so interesting well because my dad for the longest time was he's like yo that danny girl she works really hard like you should you should maybe talk about bringing her on the team and i'm like okay like we got we got our uh assistant position filled currently you know i think it was ayla you know so many plates uh that she cleaned up so many yeah and then lydia just more plates yeah uh and we had a couple not like issues i'd say but like maybe like hiccups and there comes a time where you know both people just just graduate i was ready to to go to the next level and i needed a bit more uh like professionalism nothing against them we i just wasn't running a professional organization i brought break plates and it's like hey that's that's the assistant job now it's like the your scope of work is unlimited your podcast engineer you're taking notes uh you're helping me organizing produce shoots it's hard to describe what my job is i think that's it's almost frustrating what do you do yeah i'm like so many hats i wear so many i don't know and it's just such a wide scope of work which is cool it keeps it keeps me entertained i say it's like house manager mixed with producer yeah i describe it production coordinator house manager travel coordinator logan says you're an exec you're an exec assistant you're an executive and i remember when i first met you the the time that you were being vetted to be brought on was a what was a time of turmoil absolute [ __ ] turmoil within the organization when was it it was it was just wasn't it just post tokyo uh yeah no it you know what's crazy is we met up once before pre-tokyo right in december i drove you to a script reading or something i came by the house and then after that i came in like january february mike was there was at a studio yeah yeah i remember it yep i remember it very very clearly and and as i said it was during a time of infighting restructuring yeah you clearly i'm sure remember how much [ __ ] turmoil was within the organization with me specifically because i remember when i when i started here in april of that year mike was written on the the no go list right which was so crazy because you were there originally when i like met with logan and the team the first time so it was just funny then two months later to see you integrated back in and i remember you're standing up on the balcony and you're just like hey by the way if you ever need anything you can come to me people regard me as like someone that they can come to if they need anything and literally in my head i was like he said the same thing except he said come on and i was like what the [ __ ] and you and you made that that funny face but now you learned over the past three years that i am that person percent 100 you have if there's an issue with a a co-worker a colleague anything that'll handle it with you and you've been absolutely [ __ ] incredible but what what was it like you you were um there for that trajectory from the pits of hell back to where we are now what is what was it what has it been like being on that roller coaster ride that some of us have been on for the past couple of years it's an interesting take from the inside because i feel like it's much more like uh a small smaller magnifying glass on it like you're focusing on these little things that eventually build you into like the bigger picture that we are today that's a bigger better production all around you've grown we've all grown but at the time we're just working on little projects and so i don't think i even looking back i don't even think i see it or saw it as it being messier or harder than it is now it's just like it's hard it does what you're saying is this when you plant the apple seed it's hard to visualize the tree right it's hard to imagine that this tiny little seed sub guru said this will grow into a tree if you told me if i showed you this and said this will be that outside see that 10 foot tall blossoming beautiful tree with fruit on it you have to be crazy to believe me especially if you haven't seen it happen yet right yeah and we were in i totally get what you were saying focusing on a lot of uh we were doing best friends right around then too right there's a lot of experimentation yeah that's why we were in well you said it was just like let's throw [ __ ] at the wall and see what sticks and and we found some stuff and uh we learned a lot about each other and i wanted to ask you and i'm afraid to know the answer to this question uh what what has what are some of the hardest tasks that you've had to do here or the most frustrating difficult like i hate this job i'm gonna rip my hair out type things that i've asked you to do yeah um she pulls out a list she's like okay no i i wrote a couple things down just to try to like think about it and the funny thing about me and the way my brain works is that i'll be so frustrated in the moment or i'll call my parents or i'll drive home and i'll just be so frustrated but like once that day passes it's gone and i'll think about it maybe i'll mull over it for like if it's something big maybe for the next like week or whatever but then if my mood and my endorphins are have changed then i've changed so the things that come to mind are uh the the jet ski era made me want to die it was that bad it was i remember i i wanted to turn you into a jet ski and then ram you into the side of the pool they were they were too small they were too big they were leaking oil they didn't work how many jet skis did we go through and seven of them and it and people see the end result they see the video of us with the jet ski in the pool but what they don't see is the interaction that exists between you and the person coming to sell it then the thing doesn't start you have to tell them to put it back on the trailer move it out we're not paying for it actually you're paying us for wasting our [ __ ] time yeah there's this whole thing and i think that is actually the through line for what what does frustrate me the most is a simple ask via logan of find me a jet ski simple right not and so it just takes me and it just goes through so much and in in in my position i'm like they think it's it's just so easy to find a jet ski it's not yeah and so it's like the other thing i thought of was uh i love travel and i love travel coordinating but the most frustrating thing is like being home and wanting like you or someone just being like hey we're changing this we're moving this around and if the time change it's 2 a.m it's it's 11 p.m it's i wake up to four texts on my phone and you guys are just like oh we missed our flight which i don't i think that's only only happened once in like a visa or whatever that situation was it's it's when it when everything shifts and change changes and it all has to happen very quickly and then something else comes in it i'm like that is such a such a uh unique and important skill to have for someone in your position yeah being able to call an audible and activate quickly yes and i think i can activate and i can do it of course danny want to yeah you're you're incr you're incredible and honestly like through the years one of them i can't even look at them i'll just yeah let's see what happens here we got some hull damage this whole thing is a disaster one of the things you've always done and we talked about you know calling upon me and times your need is like you you'll be like mike why why does he do this like because because here's the thing once again everyone sees the execution they see the end result yeah but but you don't realize how simple of a notion it starts with when it comes from logan danny i want to build a couch in the floor make it happen and and you're sitting there and she and she comes to me she'll come to me and she'll say mike logan wants to dig a hole in his perfect hardwood floor that makes up twenty percent of the value of this [ __ ] eight million dollar house she'll come to me and she'll say what what are we gonna do and i'm like i can talk to him but i assure you no matter what i say to him he's gonna want certain things i know he wants to dig the [ __ ] hole yeah and so now she has to go activate on a task that is essentially destroying property you have someone is going to come in destroy the floor with a jackhammer in the middle of the morning every day and and blow a hole in the floor essentially and she's got to go make it happen even though she knows she shouldn't [ __ ] do it i think something that i learned from the very beginning and i actually learned this in pa work working as a production assistant on set is don't get in the thought process of asking why and i don't know if you've noticed it from me but i've just recently i've been asking why a little bit just because i'm like having fun being curious but previously i just wouldn't ask why i would just do it because the moment my brain goes into why and starts to legitimize or try to put logic to it it'll ruin the whole thing it's just do it don't ask questions and i you it used to it used to frustrate me a little bit not with you but when i'd have this idea and someone would uh question it in a way where it was immediately negated right right but with you especially now you've been here for so long and i really do value your opinion i like i like talking through my uh decisions yeah it's it's good to say i'm out loud to get a second opinion and it's part of the reason like i think it's safe to say our whole team has gotten extremely candid with just like being open and talking through pretty much every decision that we make yeah i mean we debrief over every single podcast yep so like yeah i mean but that's the tricky part uh art sometimes doesn't come with logic so when you're trying to create art people are trying to like understand your thought process and you can't because if you did then you would create the art yep that makes sense totally sensitive and he always he always pulls that's the problem he always pulls it off when you guys were uh when you guys were talking about like i'm always just like [ __ ] oh my god i'm sitting here i told the kid not to do this 50 million views like 20 million views i'm like all right i get it so then i stop asking why and so when people come in with the jackhammer to ruin the house i'm like all right he's got a plan just go go somewhere else that one worked out because it's cement and it's still more comfortable than the [ __ ] couch you bought yeah god that came out that couch we'll get cushions in it no it's coming it's i think yeah is that frustrating i i get really frustrated at things such as half the house doesn't have hot water right now hat we haven't for a long time for six months yeah at this point and i've dealt with i didn't know that six seven different contractors i know because i don't tell you because his wing his wing's great so don't bother him with it he knows he knows that every day i walk out of my room six months no it's been since the beginning i thought you liked that shower i prefer to use the shower in my room but i mean like it's nice back there it's a big bathroom but i've dealt with six or seven different contractors the uh the gas company the air duct people the whatever and every time someone comes they say they fix it it works for a day it doesn't it doesn't work the next day we've already bought a new unit i don't want to spend any more of your money thanks and so right now we're trying to uh do a like a small claims court against the company you're lying this one yeah wow see we don't even know about this stuff she just she puts a lien on your house like yeah we have to sell it we're like what the [ __ ] she just quietly runs the show and does a great job of it what um how when you describe uh what you do beyond beyond you know producer or house manager or executive assistant when you describe the place that you work how do you how do you describe the maverick house to people i love when you guys ask questions you're like nervous about it that's very curious i don't know it depends who i'm talking to also i very much um like prep my conversation with people depending on god you got to know your audience um so if they already know that like i work for logan like what i'm doing i'll just be like it's a it's a it's six boys living together it's like i'm i'm living in a house full of like 15 year olds who have a lot of money to spend so bad and it's crazy because i i'm i'm down to be a mom in the future like i think that's in my path but like i can't be rich [ __ ] back inside me i think one of my most like the the most frustrating thing in my heart of hearts is when i'm sitting here and i'm like i am dreading being a mom because i feel like i've been a mother to you guys for the past three years and it's like all i'm like i need to go live a 23 year old's life you know i wanted to talk about that yeah but can i say something and this is for good reasons to no you're not 69. you should have comfort in your heart to know that when you hold that child and you look that child in the eyes you'll you'll remember one thing that's different you actually [ __ ] love that child you don't love us so when we do stupid [ __ ] you're just like i don't like these guys i love you guys i do i really do i think that we're it's a different thing than like like me and david like he's here all the time i'm here all the time you everyone's here all the time but like you guys are friends and i would consider you guys like it's different like you guys aren't like my boys we're not like friends we're not hanging out so like my personal life is very much intertwined with a group of people who are like i care for and i love and like you guys are like brothers to me almost but it's not like my friends yeah you know so it's like that tension between like my life versus work life and it works for you guys because you guys are all living your life it works a lot of the time i mean it's it's it's wild living with being with being friends with all you know all those things with with people like this this is a cra it's a crazy world that you exist in and you really and i also think that your relationship is different with you know with each one of us 100 100 yeah i just think of like outside of this and this is to know like insult but like none of you guys would be like my friends outside me of this both cycle why not we couldn't no we would cycle together oh logan's hurt i'm so sorry like i don't know but like you're like my brother like i think of you like that versus like oh no he's gonna cry not gonna cry in a work environment our relationship or in my eyes anyways is like ace it's almost yeah it's almost it's almost perfect but outside of work we just have different interests i totally get what you're saying and also i commend you for being comfortable and having the i can't i can't say balls having the courage having the courage no i no i can't here's the thing about that balls are sensitive i know yeah you can't say it you balls are still having the balls to do this doesn't make sense balls are sensitive right vaginas but but what is the yes hey i said it too but what is the mean what is the makeup behind having the colonies or the balls is is that supposed to be the region that your strength comes from in a man apparently like that's where your testosterone is coming from you're like 15 i still feel pretty good you're ballsy you're ballsy kid listen anyway uh being able to say that because i know it's because i know that you know i care for all of you guys and you guys care for me and it's danny we're just i ca i care for you immensely but we are wild we're wild danny we're lunatics you are like the only like you have a an amazing head on your shoulders and uh your your morals are incredible um your values are amazing your interests are incredibly pecu peculiar and unique um and so i wanted to ask how i know how but i want to hear you say it how are how do you balance having a personal life and also working at a job that is incredibly demanding you're you're here a lot yeah you work a lot of hours yeah even when you're not working i'm working yeah i text you and i'm like uh i need a hundred thousand dollars in cash tomorrow morning like great is it uh within 10am to 10pm nope all right yeah yeah yeah i know i noticed you don't respond on sundays sometimes sometimes it's fine and by the way if this doesn't need me i'm not gonna respond it's gonna be fine i'm not gonna respond it's gonna be okay i get it i totally i sent you that text picture the other day funny what did it say like when someone from tech from work texts you on your day off hi and he goes nope and he goes i understand yeah i get it you know i more do it as like a reminder for both of us yeah but yeah how do you balance your i i dropped something off at your uh apartment complex the other day yeah you were with friends i was like this is amazing sundays are my my uh sanctuary yeah my day because by the way it's the only day i have off hey that's it um i think i think what i do and what i have done is like i've put this presentation self up like of myself when i come here and that's like i don't want to like i'm not bringing any of my like personal stuff my frustrations my emotions whatever like i try not to at least obviously sometimes like sometimes it can come through but that in itself also protects me from everything else that's bopping around out here right it's like my little shield where you guys have done so good by the way i appreciate you appreciate you guys so much for the danny cover your ears everyone jokes about it but like i love it i'm like if i don't need to hear this conversation i'm out yeah and so that's been very helpful a lot of your coverage yeah it took and it took us a while to get i mean i don't know how much we want to talk about but we had a a feud at the beginning of both of our employments here where i'll just say yeah i was a big free baller i used to roll commando all the time and i would not wear gray shorts oh remember the gray shorts i just it's just kind of who i am i would wear these thin shorts and danny eventually told me hey man like you know all the power to you for just letting your dick hang like that but i don't really like this at all you know what i'm saying so you know in a lot of ways danny's the reason i wear underwear or at least thicker shorts and so she's a massive uh a massive growth factor for me thank you you're welcome i just want i want i want to facilitate growth you you have you have you know you are like how can you grow how can we all grow if you're not wearing underwear but without growing up growing up but but but that parlayed then into um and and he helped me with this a lot too into knowing when to say certain things in front of people and and i i i definitely act you've at least improved how i act in front of women with just a little bit more respect and a little bit more dignity because you've always told me like listen like i'm not like you guys i'm not like you guys you guys are you guys are [ __ ] up you guys are [ __ ] animals dude you're a bunch of frat [ __ ] up animals i didn't say that once you got so offended i was like am i lying like she did she said it and and we were talking about the show and what we talked about and she was like mike like you you guys you know very much we talk about it a lot exist in a little bit of a bubble and we do crazy [ __ ] and so when she said that to me it really made sense and every time i was going to talk about a danny headphones i can't [Laughter] but anytime i was gonna say something you know crazy i tell her to cover it up but um yeah yeah no and i think that wraps up that question which is just i've i've put on a little bit of a barrier to protect myself and then before work or after work i mean i'd wake up at 6am to go horseback riding to come to be able to get here before work which eventually i got a little you know it goes through cycles of burnout of trying to separate and do enough of me stuff i remember that i remember you you'd be like yeah i went horseback riding this morning i was like yo it's nine it's nine am how did you have time to do that and uh it's so hard cause like as a human i do i'm like i feel bad like i'm i'm taking a lot of this person's time as someone who's running a business and absolutely just wants to accomplish as much as possible in the 24 hours i'm given i'm like i need this person to perform right and so it's this weird balance between being a boss and just like not even not even so much a friend just as like an empath yeah uh do you still do your extracurricular activities before and after work like i do have the energy i i'm currently at the moment i'll be completely honest completely and entirely burnt out of quite everything you even had a lot of trouble saying what you just said yeah i know i could i could tell i can tell uh and i i want i i want to figure something out i don't know what it is like let's work together to find a solution and also we pushed her back to leaving earlier in the day because i mean i feel like at one point you were set like seven days like i was seven years in six months i did 10 a.m to 10 p.m sorry monday through sunday so every day and then it changed to saturday i wanted to ask you guys i've always been afraid why did you do that because i never asked you i never said like hey 10 10 p.m did i yeah well it's on the instagram contract 10 to 10 people [ __ ] he's like i've never asked oh [ __ ] it's be on call and be at the house and like there unless like told otherwise i don't i i may have to check you on that i don't think legally we can put it in a contract to have you work 12 hours a day well it's it's on call 10 am okay okay that makes sense but then if i'm on call and you you've you always from the get needed me from 10 a.m to 10 p.m so there was no let back of okay well if i just am home or doing my own thing because like there was a couple times in the beginning where i would like try out that but then i'd be at the wrong spot at the wrong time and you needed me so it's like if i'm here that's i'm here ready to help you you know it was like unspoken you didn't ask for that but you did by needing me from 10 a.m to 10 p.m this is this has always been a fun uh relationship for me to watch as well coming from a corporate background and and even more so a person who managed uh delegates below me yeah uh watching him come into his own as a manager and i and we've gone through so many [ __ ] struggles between you know him and you and communication and hours and and have you have you noticed a growth in him as a as a boss and as a leader in the organization over the past couple years yeah yeah i mean a little bit yeah no i know he's like oh shoot yeah i think he's he's become more um aware of like what's going on and like the impact that it has on others but i will say it's still like a frustration would be the like if you don't need me anymore let me know i can go kind of thing because what my every day for the past two and a half years i've texted him the exact same text every single night what's it say do you know i do uh i'm trying to get the verbiage uh do you need anything else that's right i texted it to him in french the other day switched things up a little bit yeah that was fun yeah danny what's your uh what's your fondest memory uh as a part of team maverick was it a trip was it uh something that happened to some a gift that you were given like is it like oh or is that i don't want to lead you into it but yeah um i mean on that note the car was pretty awesome um i loved i like being involved in things you know yeah and so i like the last year with the combat training being able to do that and be a part of that was like when we went through there was like when we went through at night in the mud yeah oh that was like literally one of the highlights of like the past two years at least that i can like think of in the beginning and then we did the burpees at the end and we just like crushed high five it was like being involved like i want to be that's crazy that was involved that was a moment it was a moment it was a moment for me too we she's talking about tim clemente's combat training course in uh west virginia yeah in west virginia logan made a video about it we got to learn from navy seals how to handle uh their weaponry how to you know approach combat situations and logan went through the course you know multiple times that was kind of the the precipice of catalyst for us being there but then at the end they sent me and danny down the course together and it's a live fire environment where we're handling ar-15s live fire rounds and handguns at the same time so you're switching from your your primary to your secondary weapon running down this course at night as a team as it's just send protect send protect like as and yeah and and logan had gone through it in the day and it started to drizzle lightly but by the time me and you took the course on it was a monsoon it was trenches there were fires burning that were adding smoke to the environment it's crazy how that technically was work right that's the one thing i'll go ahead and stick my chest out and say like this job has prepared you for literally anything i i'm confident that whatever you do next it will be a cake walk compared to this hell hole i mean seriously we put this girl through every you're talking about an assistant doing a navy seal combat training course yeah that was one of those things where i was like there's a lot of things that i've planned and i've prepped and i've produced and i'm not a part of it besides in like the behind the scenes but that one when it was happening i'm like i will be a part of this we're so excited so much in my alley and because most of the things you guys do i'm not into it as much like i'm i can produce it and i can plan it and i can do everything like that but it's like i don't really even desire to be in it because we don't our interests and creatives even aren't even the same yeah yeah the same way i can't really offer my creative opinion because it's not the same as your guys you did great in the ghost sketch we did that ghost sketch that's another one it's just like being being involved in something like that i'm like i i will go underwater in a well i will like crawl my throat self through the trenches of west virginia yeah but sitting in front of a computer and finding jet skis on craigslist i want to yeah it's something it's it's something we've always struggled with and i know you've struggled with it uh and we've had multiple conversations about this you are not an assistant you aren't you're you're a very special girl you're very tough you're very very good at what you do whatever that is you you can act you can sing you can dance you're an entertainer in many in many ways um has it has it been tricky for you to balance the fact that we need you to complete things for the for the things that we're doing to get done like it would be impossible for you to take part in that course or for us to take part in that navy seals course unless you had quarterback the travel and set up everything that existed has it been hard for you to walk that line that one was neat because i could i could jostle both of them and i was fine playing with both because i had like the involvement on one end and it's just like what i mentioned before which was a lot of the things i just had to realize i'm like this isn't stuff that i would it doesn't align with like who i am so doing this type of stuff wouldn't uh accelerate me as danny it would accelerate me as like logan's assistant you know and that's not and i'm i love it like i've been for the past two and a half years like i feel like i've crushed the role as an assistant and that's i love to work hard and like dive headfirst into something like that but i've understood that it's not like my playing field in that area you know i can go and ride my horses i can go travel i can go create in my own way well i don't really have time to you i want to give you time i want to give you time i want danny i'm going to find someone else to help everybody and like play around with it because it's not about i don't think it's about me being like yo peace out you know because i i think that i'm an integral part of of this system and making the system as strong as it is but i think those they're just it could be so exciting for someone new that's the two and a half year old go me to come in and have this experience you know to experience what it's like to be in this world and get that and allow me to experience experience something else sure because you're there i and and one one area in particular that i i i've been like kind of intrigued by it because i wanted to see you know explore is just like uh your your relationship outside of work with a counterpart i'm talking about your dating life oh my god here we go let's talk about your dating like that this is one i'm literally thinking i was like yo when does this girl have time to like go on dates you don't there's that sucks yeah yeah i'm sorry i'm sorry good job logan here's the thing here's what's here's a lonely woman here's what's been okay about it right so i dated in high school a good amount like i feel like i always had a boyfriend in high school after that i was with this motto of of i gotta figure out myself i gotta make myself a whole piece before i bring something else into that because the way i make decisions in my life are very heart based they're very like what i'm feeling in the moment do i get on a bus do i you know move out to la for two months and rent an airbnb do i work in production in ohio for a little while like these are all decisions that i very much have made on a whim and my heart felt it very heavy and i made the choice and so if there was another piece in there that was giving me any type of input or thought i.e a boyfriend or a significant other i didn't know if i could make those decisions soundly following my heart if i had someone else weighing in because i'm so much of a giver and an empath and i want to do what i want to do what someone else is sorry i will inconvenience myself eight times out of ten to make someone else happy it's a very big flaw of mine that i've realized in the last year it's probably why your greatest is the strength in a lot of ways but in terms of personal growth and personal success in the ways of of this world it's put me at a little bit of a disadvantage because i will i'm not willing to sacrifice someone else's happiness or someone else's whatever to then like climb the ladder of success and so it's it's i'm learning about myself in the past year that's great self-awareness it's good it's good that you know that you're also you're like how we just kind of moved away from the boyfriend no no no we haven't no we haven't okay i don't have that she strangely went back to something on the topic before it that i wanted to touch on quickly yeah yeah please let's talk on it more yeah the boyfriend stuff i think what you're wrestling with is something that a lot of people uh especially in america wrestle with which is um this this uh idea that you're spending your life building someone else's dream and and there are some people who are completely okay with the idea of being a part of an organization working for a greater good that eventually ends in uh success for the the boss of that organization um do you feel that pulling at you sometimes do you feel like you want to be creating for yourself do you feel like you should be creating for yourself and is that a factor um my my easy answer is yes um i want to make sure to define like creating like i just want to live a lot of words you got this danny um there are times where i feel like i want to live my life i want to live the existence that is my life and in this world specifically it is very much logan's life which is not a problem this is your life you know and that's awesome that you've created this um but it does give the feeling to at least me at times where i'm like okay is this my life i'm living or is this my life as a supporting role in someone else's life and that's fine some people like you said they they love that and i think that i am right in the middle where i'm okay with it because i can kind of do my own thing and and have those experiences like uh tim's or i can learn different things throughout it but there definitely is a big hole in in well what has danny done who is danny outside of logan's assistant yeah you know we've talked yeah i think you do a good job of uh maybe at least getting closer to pinpointing the answer to that question and more importantly sticking to the answer to that question yeah because i'll tell you right now and mike you can attest there's so many people who have uh gone in and out of this world who have worked with me for me um in whatever capacity who get this this this syndrome this we talk about this belief that right that they can do it do create yeah technically all i'm doing is like what i pick up a camera right and then edit a video and then just post it online no but if you truly understand it's a massive thing it takes a specific person to curate a specific audience well it's just like what i've it's what i've done my whole life it's what i love to do and it's tough because something that may appear so like fun and easy reaps these incredible benefits right so a lot of people are like oh i can do that yeah and then they forget what their original goal was or their what their what their life's path was yeah to go pursue this dream that a isn't theirs then b if you're not following a dream that isn't yours nine times out of ten is probably not gonna end the way you want i think the the craziest thing for me has been that even since i was a kid i went back and i was like i called my mom it was like a couple months ago i go what did i what did i like run around the house as a kid like what did i want to do and she's like travel you wanted to you as a kid you wanna you literally at 13 10 nine whatever uh for my 13th birthday i planned a whole trip to new york for myself and i was like mom we're going here's i booked everything i got the approval from my dad to like have him pay for it younger than that at like nine i planned a whole trip i created this whole world for myself and my mom my parents were getting a divorce and my mom had mentioned to me that she wanted to move to the dominican republic me as a nine-year-old i was like we're moving to the dominicans i planned the whole thing i planned it out i found a house yeah yeah this is this one i found as a house this is notable this is notable like this is remarkable and then it was like i was like well when are we gonna go she's like we could go my mom just wasn't at the time paying attention to the fact that i really believed that this was something that was gonna happen and uh it was like a couple weeks out from the day that she said we were gonna go and i was like here we go i mean i didn't book anything at the time but i was like i was all excited she's like no we're not actually going and i was like oh no at the time i just wanted to see an experience we've been there yet have all not the dominican no i've been to haiti which is great yeah um yeah and it's it's just so after talking to her she's like it's travel it's it's for a time i i grew up watching disney and i want to be an actor and i want to do this but like it's uh it's as i'm getting older as this maladaptive maladaptive tendency that i've created that is just to be seen just to be heard just to be like and i want to create and i don't think that's maladaptive i think that's me wanting to express my imagination i'm a daydreamer i'm an imaginative i'm running around with dragons at least yeah 50 of the day yeah but that want to be seen part is that middle child the person who was the outcast in school who's like never fit in wore hoodies you know it was like who am i and what can i offer to the world that makes me a powerful person outside of someone else's counterpart can i ask be seen in what way [Laughter] guys look at this water bottle how cool right i thought it was vodka from alex jones at first no just you know you gotta find cool things to make life interesting um okay answer that question yeah just like you know uh what are you trying to do you could specify like what would be seen in in what way um it's be seen for like who who danny is you know and it's a it's a thing that i can't ask someone else to see me if i haven't fully seen myself or if like i can't expect someone to fully understand me no one fully understands anyone like i don't fully understand check this out check us out i saw this quote the other day the japanese say you have three faces the first face you show to the world the second face you show to your close friends and your family the third face you never show anyone it is the truest reflection of who you are yeah and it is like it's so true there's like a side of me that only i will see no like no one will ever ever see that side and it's crazy to think that yeah but i i guess i'm asking are you trying to be seen in a very significant way with by one person are you trying to be seen uh publicly is like i want to be seen i want to be in movies i want to do this but i love to create and i love to i just started taking it was a couple months ago i shouldn't say just started taking but i took an acting class over the weekends and it was so fun just to like create and be expressive because i feel like here i part of that barrier is like i'm not the expressive person you ask my friends or like people back home or people in college i'm like the silliest weirdest loudest most talkative person you know and here i try to be quiet i try to do what i'm supposed to do i try to not like be a little too outside the box to not get in the way of oh my gosh this is a great is that danny running at you nope i thought i thought for sure you're gonna no that's the one thing i can't do look the real kyle sue that's the other kid on the bus oh oh fantastic danny one one thing i would say to you and i think you're already doing it and it's hard for me to say it to you because your job is more demanding than my job is or was that's a good one you have to when when you're in a situation where you're trying to walk the line between this is danny cycling right here down a large hill it's topanga when when you're trying to we've talked about this before in the past too when you're trying to walk the line between working a job building someone else's organization and also exploring who you are and creating a reflection of yourself for the world to see yeah it unfortunately just takes a ton of midnight oil like you really just like like i talk about this a lot when i was more a part of team maverick and was officially employed by team maverick it was business meetings it was logan this it was vlogs that it was boxing this it was podcast that 12 a.m the night shift sign gets set up you remember and i would and i'll try to gather who i could but no matter what i would i would sit and i would shoot the night shift at 12 a.m and i would edit until three or four and i would put up the first episode of the night shift whatever i could pull together in the time that i wasn't with him i remember we talked about that and i remember being like okay you know momentarily inspired by that being like what can i accomplish at night what can i accomplish in these hours outside of it but i i part of me real most of me realize that my answers aren't found on the internet my answers aren't found you know googling people are like well while you're at work you could be doing this and i was like i think like i've learned so much about myself with just like before and after work and meditating in these past six months i feel like i've grown so much which has been awesome but that midnight oil you know i can't go i can't go far gotta report back to work yeah yeah that's uh that's an incredibly profound realization i think it might be the most uh relatable significant thing you've said in the podcast because bro it's you know i'm on my phone so often right because well that's where my answers my like i'm literally just a sponge for knowledge that i find on the internet but you you've made it very clear that traveling is like uh one of the biggest uh inspirations yeah yeah exploratory uh factors that lead to growth in your life and so i totally get what you're saying you know it's it's 10 p.m what what's she going to do where am i going it's not just her it's yeah everyone with the job who gets home at 8 9pm like where where do you go if not the internet but you've found it and you found it in horseback riding you found it in cycling i'm sure yeah these little things that i've i've you know curated as my hobbies have been a very much a lifesaver for me you know i've been doing archery and cycling horseback riding um i play around with like stunt stuff when i can get to workshops which is super fun and has proceeded to injure me it's fine um but you know each of those things are all a hobby you know and i think that i can turn those maybe into like monetary devices but you know i've played around with the idea of like well let me you know put the camera on and see if this world is something that i can dive into but there's like a there's a there's a point of vanity that i don't come on i don't possess and that maybe i'm discounting myself there but there's something about it that that i can't it doesn't drive me to make these videos and and sit there and stare at myself like i mean i put some makeup on today that's awesome but maybe that's what can be who danny is and what that can like offer people which i think could be a cool perspective but otherwise there's like a a vanity factor or self focus factor that i might be missing for that i i don't think that you're that far off with it with that statement i think the fact of the matter is that we as a society have ended up in this very vain place where you know it's i hate to knock on it because it's it's what pays me but you know walking around with a camera following you like hey like every everybody in the world i have a story to tell you know and and uh there's not as much uh um collaboration and finding out and people asking yo what's your story like what's your story that you have to tell it's very it's the the as a society we continue to move into more and more of a me centric system and i thrive in a that's great because i thrive in a like let's do this together let's ideate together something that we did have have we mentioned the well we'll cut it out we mentioned the scavenger hunt on let's talk about it okay cool so oh that was so much fun we had so much time so things when i think about that like a collaborative environment which is why another reason i've realized that here it's it's the funniest thing because i can be very very productive for you guys and successful in my role but it's not a collaborative environment for me because my ideas that i offer only fit into specific things i saw you light up yeah i saw you light up like like oh i do this actually i'll pitch an idea and kind of just like preach from the mountaintop and whoever i see in the house like activate sometimes it's mike sometimes it's you yeah sometimes it's evan i'll be like let's go let's go you a lot of the time music videos anything creative it's just like back and forth but there's not often that it's been specifically me so what what about the just context um we'll get into it but uh finally after maybe a year or a year and a half i'm going to be doing a ranch reveal tour soon my million and one dollar property that i got it is my uh prize possession next to my first edition psa 10 charizard and i'm going to be doing a ranch store this property is absolutely absolutely beautiful it's when my dad resides he's the groundskeeper and we are going to be flying out 10 members of the maverick club to participate in a scavenger hunt for 50 000 worth of gold adventure adventure so picture like the amazing race meets survivor or something like that just a really cool scavenger hunt and uh i pitched the idea and you and i just started going back and forth on the uh the uh the uh the checkpoints and and the obstacles yeah to get to the next one we sat there for it was the longest that mean you have ever i noted in my brain i said this is the longest me and logan have sat and collaboratively worked on an effort together yeah well so what about that though it's just like the the adventure of it the those are the things i like like i live through the world in that way in like what's the next thing to pop to and like travel or like it's in la i'm i'm the person who's trying a new coffee shop every day before work because that provides me something new to see you know it's something that even though i mean it's something i haven't done a scavenger hunt before i don't i don't know but it's like those type of things that i just saw my brain turn on and i love i love those shows i like i don't think i have the exact words for it but it it yeah it was in the creative vein of what turns my brain on i don't know yeah yeah yeah it was interesting yeah i saw i saw you latch on to that and i think uh i think uh finally activating on that it's just gonna be like one of the ones we'll see if we can make it happen yeah i have a list of uh superlative style questions okay for you which i think are fun we don't do a lot of rapid fire on the show but i've uh come up with a short list of questions for you um who who would you say has the best uh style in the house clothing calling dressing dave yeah logan makes a mess that kind of makes sense because of the way that he moves around the house and he does things yours is like i did something here and i just left what like what for example what's the glass table it's all your mail so it's your mail and the stuff you get you get more stuff in the mail than logan does stuff yeah and so it's just boxes and this and that and half opened and half done things that i feel like i'm like keep it in your room danny half open and half finish things is the story of my life the fact that the book ever came out is a [ __ ] miracle and a testament to riley to riley j ford thank you uh sleeps the latest uh i think logan i was gonna say evan oh sorry oh my gosh sorry uh who would you be the who would you be the most worried about stealing something you don't have to stealing something or just like taking an extra thing okay yeah yeah not like nothing bad like you wouldn't like nothing that you would get in trouble for taking my wellness bills yeah but it'd just be like well no one's using this who's the biggest simp i still don't think i've fully understood the definition of that who's the biggest uh uh um who who would like for the girlfriend yeah is that the same as being whipped yes yeah honestly i feel like it's david's yes okay yeah she just keeps answering my questions uh who has the highest and the lowest sperm count i think logan had the highest and then lowest was you but you screwed up the test it probably was accurate uh just that just out of curiosity this one should be an easy one uh who uh in the house still has the highest iq still has the highest iq yeah wasn't it logan and andre tied oh were you in there too no no it was it was him and andre oh i've got this i'm sorry i well i want to read that i want to read it yeah let's do another one my favorite was that i had the lowest which which doesn't make sense to me i've always found this fascinating it's because i think it has something to do with the same part of my brain that's used for like school i was i did not thrive in that environment like sitting there and taking a test online sure if someone asked me those things in like a conversation or like we worked on it and i just i i hated school we were very we were very close by what was i 129 or 131 27 i was 125. or was it one two okay i had the same one as rogan someone is streaming none of that actually matters because you're right uh facts um who uh who eats the most i think logan because he's forced to eat a lot but like if it was there if it was not forced upon them it's you you try you eat the most but try to not eat the most logan would literally never eat if you didn't have to and is forced food so we were eating crabs the other day and just other seafood that was just i blacked out i looked to my right and all of a sudden your plate was full of just empty crustacean shells and i said well what happened mike and then he goes i don't know like looks like i beat you and i looked at mine and i was like what the [ __ ] and i sat down like an hour like i just i'm a psychopath when it comes to food uh nicest person at the house i feel like sorry it's taking me a while for that one it's it's only because everyone is everyone is like like heart who at their heart yeah is happy or not sorry nice chef eric no that doesn't can't count that doesn't count um definitely would win though i feel like you know what i feel like it's this is gonna be funny because of what just happened earlier but like evan has something really pure and good about like the inner part of his heart he does who does he does he just yells a lot uh last question what was your favorite podcast over here on uh on the impulsive set that you watch happen these things i just black out of my brain well you've been drinking a lot danny what if i talked at this level the entire time that would be crazy anybody is anybody in the audience hearing me uh that sounds like this other podcast talk at this level um best podcast i don't know one of those one of the motivational ones or one of like the oh who who traveled colin o'brady he was cool yeah he was oh yeah that was a cool episode he was cool what are we looking at my instagram take a look yeah no i'm just i'm just scrolling here and uh there's it's one of those ones like similar to hayden there's so much meat on the bone here like yeah uh you shot your uncle oh i did i did shot you she's not the sweetheart you all think she shot her uncle and she killed the [ __ ] cow yup dropped a hail bill dropped the hay bale on a cow accidentally by the way not a big girl he's a catholic he was a baby okay here's the thing let's preface with the fact that i'm from a town funny enough i don't know if i've told you guys this so the town i say i'm from is batesville which is like where the grocery store is but where i grew up is ballstown are you [ __ ] serious yeah you're from baltimore yeah my dad my dad lives in ballstown it's like population a hundred you're telling me greg paul drove a bus into balls so the point of bringing that up is that i grew up in the middle of nowhere very much the story of like walked up hill both ways described this type of thing yeah with the snow i carried the water buckets all the way to the horse trough yeah you know like grew up in a very like we didn't have we like our house was a uh wood stove like at the ranch you guys are like this is the only thing it heats i'm like this is how okay never mind yeah um so with that said start shooting guns really early uh we're out of my uh uncle bob's property and my uncle which he sucks so it's fine uh was like a little bit down range meant to be were you trying to shoot this no at the time i didn't know he sucked so it's fine okay let's focus so he was just a little bit downrange from me you're obviously not allowed to do that but i was just shooting at this little piece of wood that's like from here to you guys can't tell but like the end of the podcast set and it was a ricochet it ricocheted off and it hit him in the calf and he just went down and my dad was like did you just shoot him i didn't know how would you know yeah what do you have against calf yep agreed you hit your um you killed the cat okay so that one was a mistake of of not finishing you admit it you the first one wasn't a mistake you're a cat you're a catholic you're a cafe it's things i learned growing up living on the farm working with my dad you have to finish things to completion it's what makes me good at the job i am now you have to do things 100 in this situation me and my buddy were he was driving a bobcat with a round bale and i was in the uh petting zoo area with all the little baby animals and he drops the hay bale over the fence and it's kind of sitting a little cattywompus you know a little whopper jacket cattywampus swamper jump yeah uh and he's like is that good and i'm like yeah it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine you know and so we go inside continue doing our farm chores yeah we go back out and it's fallen on this baby cat and it suffocated it and killed it so we had to go tell his grandfather who like runs the farm hey we just killed one of your baby cows i thought you dropped the hay bale no you're only an accomplished somebody i'm a compliment that's not as bad yeah that's not bad it's still like my eyes were on it imagine where it worked like we're doing something here and someone's eyes were on it to check to make sure something happened right how did you not see a cow no no no it was a later thing so the cow was just eating food and the hay bale like the wind blew and the hay bale was like shh how small was this cow that it just got crushed tiny calories like this around small enough hunting i grew up hunting but like that's different than like a cute cow where we like the grandfather was like okay well this is your fault you now have to go take care of this animal yeah and take it out you know how'd you deal with that because to me cows are just such cute animals and especially like a baby cow like you know i grew up in a very different empathetic relationship with animals yeah we it was very much a kill eat hunt farm animals are not your friends um did you guys ever use that as a slogan like like a sign hanging in the barn farm animals or not your friends do not trust them like i could see you guys like holding signs outside like a prop 26. no but there's eliminate all farm animals yeah no we didn't do that they named uh they named a pig after me danny and they uh they had a mini cow named big mac this farm that i grew up working on was that a hint was that like after they told you they don't like animals they're like this it's not about not liking animals it's just growing up in an environment like think like like go back 50 100 years like we're we're like next to amish country so like we're living very like salt of the earth sure you know and it's all you know when you when you grow up in that environment it's hard it's it's hard especially uh excluding the advent of the internet which at the time you're describing wasn't around even if you even was like still out of my dad's house like i was talking to my stepmom the other day and she's like i literally have had to go into town the internet doesn't that's okay so i was gonna say even if there was internet who knows that you even got it where you were uh it's it is hard to to see the other side yeah yeah you know your parents tell you one thing it's you're um it's been a physically influenced child yeah yeah it's been interesting living out here you know it's such a it's a polar opposite environment i mean you've also felt that you're from maybe the suburbs of the country yeah you're you're more than me like you're really country i have like i have a balance but you you're like you're a real country yeah i can do both full-fledged do you like this city do you like city uh i do i like the uh i like the fact that you can do anything and everything there's no excuse in in la because everywhere else you can say well if i was there i could do it if i was in this city i could do this but l.a like you can do you can hike you can snowboard you can surf you can do entertainment you can be a lawyer you can be a work in a hospital you can literally i mean pick something i should read the thing i can or i'll just summarize we i just i posted this story on my instagram the other day about california and what makes it special because there's a mass exodus going on right now everyone's everyone's leaving joe rogan's leaving ben shapiro's leaving so that's pretty so that's that's pretty much everybody and i wrote i wrote this i wrote this uh this story and people are leaving for different reasons some are leaving because of the liberal values some are leaving because of homelessness and tax rates but california and los angeles offer something that not a lot of other places do which is this calling to people yeah it's a calling that exists that says hey you have a dream and and this city is here to help you facilitate that and it's it's it's it's something that that unless you unless you feel that uh innately within you uh it's not something that a lot of people understand they think it's a place that you can just come and go but i remember the first time i got here and this was in this what i wrote as well uh i got a feeling that never got anywhere else in my entire life i felt um alive i felt like being near the ocean the palm trees the hills i was always so intrigued by the hills by the rolling landscape bro some boys from brooklyn my brooklyn boys came to hang out we took him on the super 73 rides cruising around the streets up and down the hills he's like yo this is crazy i'm like what do you mean we're just riding bikes around the neighborhood like you know boys and they're like no dude in brooklyn you can't do this right there's there's cops there's not enough there's too many people on the streets there's no clear paths the weather isn't nice like it's insane succinctly i don't know if you were going to say it but you said it like this california isn't a state it's a state of mind yeah that's what i thought it was beaut i thought that's a beautiful little little nation i love how i leave the one part out i was hoping i could say that literally [ __ ] alley you too that was technically like the title of it of this but it's be it's beautiful that's honestly that's what it is you you don't come here to pay 52 plus percent taxes if you're in the top bracket no you come from because you are the outcast of every town that you're from you're the one i'm the one in my town i mean i could literally count them that you know left and that did something else and that is is and you could pinpoint me oddly enough you probably couldn't have guessed la because i was wearing sweatpants and basketball shorts and not like like honing into who i was you know but all these kids no no one's from here everyone is just they felt not right for where they were and so they came here and it felt right yeah and it's a and i i it's a home for the weirdos for the drifters for the dreamers for the aspiring people for the people who think they can build something great yeah and uh there's a lot of you know weirdly and coincidentally the homeless problem we deal with is a result of the people who came here and didn't make it there's a lot of people people that came here and had that calling to come here and be the next actor or be the next brand builder and and we're lost in the process you know it's a it's a strange place but jim morrison always said it said it the best in one of the songs forget what song was um he said the west is the best get here and we'll do the rest and i don't talk about that a lot because i don't want people showing up at the maverick house don't come we're not gonna do anything for you except call the cops but but but california very much is is you know get here and you will be inspired by the west coast you will be you will be uh a different person when you come here it's it's a great place i think yeah it's crazy too to see how many people are from like the midwest also here or new york right because they're these like heart who's here from canada by the way oh sorry i know um you know and it's because we're all raised hard-working people yep and then we're like this isn't quite right you good yeah i'm just putting on socks um we are raised as hard-working people and then we're like but i don't want to be here so we go to a city and work just as hard yeah that's the cheat code that's yeah that's honestly crazy right yeah i was gonna ask you i have two uh final questions i want to ask you um speaking of dreamers you you strike me very much so as a dreamer as a person who beat the odds you beat the odds danny you know you're just getting started you alright you beat the odds so what advice do you have for the dreamers for the small town folk who uh maybe are afraid to take that leap or you know find and write that next chapter of their life it it definitely starts with yourself that's my biggest thing is it starts with you in school not being afraid to be like authentically yourself that was something i was afraid to do so i'm i've still gotten to where i am with completely being terrified of who i was and so like be that person in the hallway i envy the people who would walk like there's like the weird kids who wore the funky hats or like the cool leggings or like whatever i wouldn't i didn't do that i was like terrified of doing that and i think it continues into who i am today being a little scared of like branching out and so i always said the same thing yeah i i was i was so afraid to like really lean into my interest yeah i wanted to make youtube videos and act yeah i was like no the theater kids like oh i was a theater kid though so i at least did that no i thought i thought i don't know i think they would like me i thought i wouldn't fit in like i envy the people who like embody who they are from day from day one yeah but some of them are scarred and then never went on to do what they uh what they meant to do and so so my advice to you is is really follow that twinge in your heart and like have it if you want have a conversation with your parents or whoever is like holding you back from that and just be really really honest with them we're in the day and age where you can truly do it or at least start what you want to do even young even as a kid even on your computer expressing yourself online whatever it is in school trying out different things i did this um this zoom call with my college my college invited me back my the film and communications department they invited me back to be a panel like a panelist for the capstone yes how cool is that awesome and the biggest thing i realized was how uninterested they were and like they were there it's their capstone they're about to graduate and they're all like what do we do and i'm like awesome are you in student media and they're like no none of them are you have you seen the television department down in the bottom of this building or whatever and like no one answered yes i said okay okay get out there like go try it and do it and experience what it's like because you could get in front of a camera and realize you didn't want to do it you know but in college i was part of the like tv production group i was a radio host for three years you know i did all these things and i was like this is fun i like doing this and so that's my advice to the dreamers is to keep dreaming summarize would your advice to the dreamers be to get on the bus yeah like i love that danny by the way i really do get on the [ __ ] door it's another it's another morrison line he said in a lot of his songs too the the magic uh or the blue boss which is oh my gosh oh yeah also we forgot to say it we towed it out of here yesterday yeah it's onto its next life which is why the story mattered we just forgot but yeah get on the bus for sure if you're if you're watching this listen to danny i said that at one point and then i just forgot about it because i wanted to be like i didn't get on the bus right you're gonna be proud of what you do guys but it's also scary it's also scary and and and listen like just to tap on it and put my final cornerstone on or and cap none of us are ever completely sure about anything you know what i'm saying maybe logan has a couple things that he's he's definitive on but like a lot of things that we approach even at the level of success that we're at feel not that great or you're a little anxious or you're a little scared to do it i say this all the time and and to use your words just get on the bus get on the bus try it honestly the biggest the biggest thing that can happen is you can fail and you get on the next bus that comes through town that's it you gotta try stuff i come across so many of these like inspirational uh you know 60 to 120 second videos on instagram on my explore page and it's crazy how all the successful people are saying the same thing like yo they're saying the same exact thing yeah and both of you just said it and it's like how many times does this need to be hammered in the layman's head i've been saying that recently a lot i like it the layman the average the average man with the dream sure uh before they before they they grasp it and run with it second thing i want to ask you final question uh in a world where again you're just surrounded by lunacy and chaos and testosterone and the sin a lot of sin we've gotten better we didn't even get it bro it's it's too easy to sin could they have made it a little bit easier to not sin it's too easy how you maintain these uh incredible moral values that you have is beyond me do you have any advice to young women the one woman in this organization and you've you've been able to like stay this strong independent creative woman pure that is the word that she is danny is so pure and in the age of tick tock and you know only fancy twerking only fans like please danny like preach to the young women out there this is great um i think part of it has to do with the uh what we kind of talked about earlier in like the the vanity's sake you know i'm not willing to sacrifice my you know those numbers or like the tick tock you know people will will sacrifice a version of like a level of self-respect or they'll sacrifice of like they are they will you know fall into these uh i don't know low hanging fruit type treasures yeah they'll grab those because because they want to feel validated or they want to feel like with a lot of with guys for example people will latch on to whatever's next to them to feel validated to feel seen you know that's something that i talk about i want to feel seen and a lot of people find that in in men um i think for me i i've i for the longest time have valued figuring myself out that there hasn't been much room for listen i want to put this into good words we're asking you a tall order here yeah no it's a great it's a great question but i think it's it's i'm so much more intrigued in looking inward and like playing around with this idea of like the best expression of myself like in there that like the worldly things i don't want to be like anyone else i have actually like a a disgusting desire to do nothing like anyone else is doing which has also been to a fault you know like i don't want to get on tick-tock because everyone else is on tick-tock i don't want to put a feather in my hair because everyone else is putting a feather in their hair and so different um and so in in that i don't want to have sex with a bunch of guys everyone else is doing that i want to i want to see what i can figure out about myself i want to like i don't want to go out and drink and party i want to see the ends of the earth you know these are these things that are just like so much more interesting than me i don't want to get high i want to hike to a top of a mountain and like feel literally literally feel that elated feeling i'm curious but not enough to try out these things that i honestly like without judgment because i feel like everyone has their own path and i don't want to put that on anyone else because maybe they are doing they are exploring but in those veins but for me personally they just don't interest me they don't get me going and so it's like for some people maybe it does and it just for me it doesn't i think you just need to really be honest with yourself it like what are you looking for and what really gets you going and don't go for the low-hanging fruit don't just like turn your butt around just because it's gonna get more likes because those likes aren't gonna actually make you more happy because at the end of the day you're gonna lay in bed and just have more anxiety than i do just laying there thinking about your life yeah like whatever it's just like go inward and figure out what actually makes you happy i haven't figured it out yet i have no i i'm still learning as i meditate there i'm like okay we're gonna meditate we're gonna find out what makes danny happy but it's definitely not going out and showing your butt off doing drugs you never sacrificed uh being great for being good that's what you never did you separate you have always had the skill danny since i've met you to separate what is truly important in this life versus what is cool and versus what is temporarily uh fulfilling for people yeah that is a skill that is very very rare nowadays you have you have kept yourself away from all of the trends all the [ __ ] and in the end it will it will probably be more fulfilling for your life and honestly you're an incredible person i've always thought the highest highest regard of you you're an incredibly pure person incredibly sweet girl and you're gonna go very far i appreciate that that
