I'm Mungesha Tikalur, and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.

00:01:04 - 00:01:10 | Speaker 1:

I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

00:01:10 - 00:01:16 | Speaker 3:

Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:01:17 - 00:01:50 | Speaker 2:

We've all been there. We've had seasons that have shaken everything. The question is, what remains when the shaking stops? Hi, I'm Gary Valenciano, and on my podcast, Unshaken with Gary V., I sit down with amazing personalities and we talk about the seasons that nearly broke them, the lows that carried them to their highs. Listen to Unshaken with Gary Vee on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:02:12 - 00:02:25 | Speaker 4:

the other day I was dressed a little bit more professionally. I was wearing some black pants with a gray sweater and a button-up shirt. And I was asked the question of, why are you dressed so nice?

00:02:25 - 00:02:28 | Speaker 5:

You complimented and then asked the question.

00:02:28 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 4:

And I, well, that was it. That's true. You did say thank you for that too, the compliment. You just say, you look very nice. What's going on today? And I just, you know, kind of came up with a bunch of BS. Well, I couldn't say what I had to say or what I, what truthfully was doing because i didn't know if i could and then i did what i had to do that day which i had to go to court on monday so and it was not for me but it was for somebody that i know and and i'm close to and i did something on monday that i have never done before but i wonder if any of our listeners or if any of you guys have ever done before i was actually a character witness for somebody so I went into court it was actually not uh not what you'd see on television it was not I was kind of disappointed I thought that I was going to go in and I was going to get the whole you know raise your right hand you swear to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth but it was more so I was being interviewed and I was not you know having to because it was not me swearing before the court, it was more so me talking to a judge. And there were attorneys there and there were people that were, you know, for both, there was two sides. A long story short, not giving out too much information because I was asked not to, somebody that I know that I am very close to and Chelsea is very close to and our kids are very close to is going through a divorce and there is a custody issue that is going into play. And so I character witnessed for this guy who is a good father and just actually is a great father and a great man. And so I had to go to court and I had to sit there and tell the judge. My feelings about him and some of the close ties that we have and my kids and all the rest of this stuff. Yeah. And so it was a little bit weird because to me going to court and I've only been to court a few times. I've been to court because I had jury duty and then I've been to court because I got to meet a judge locally who said, would you ever want to come and witness what we do? And so I sat in on her courtroom and I got to watch a couple of cases. You love that. Yes, I do love it. And then I've been to court for something I didn't love, which was I had to go to traffic court and I had to do the whole, you know, your honor, please don't give me all these points because of my insurance will go up, which by the way, that court is by the, to me was more stressful than.

00:05:00 - 00:05:30 | Speaker 1:

any other, the other situations that I've had, because the whole going for traffic, which I'm sure many of you guys have probably had to do, it's kind of a tough one. But this was a weird situation because I know the couple and I know what's going on here. And I, and I know that the couple's going through a real bad struggle and you guys know what it's like to go through a divorce. And I know it's not probably an easy situation, even though it sounds to me like your guys's situation. Thank God was not, you know, what these guys are going through. It's still

00:05:30 - 00:05:34 | Speaker 3:

not fun. And I have friends going through divorces right now that are really just,

00:05:35 - 00:06:04 | Speaker 1:

and a family member, really, really messy and ugly. And I'm going to, I'm going to say this, and I know I'll piss off somebody on this one, but I always believe that the messiness comes into play when lawyers come into play. Like, I think that when lawyers come into play and no offense to you lawyers i've got a brother and i've got a niece that are lawyers but you guys make it messy it's not so much the the people that make it messy you guys are the ones that bring the

00:06:04 - 00:06:10 | Speaker 3:

messiness into this or is that just when it becomes more like real and official no they make

00:06:10 - 00:06:15 | Speaker 1:

it messy because they remember they get paid by the hour yeah they're looking for things yeah i've

00:06:15 - 00:06:26 | Speaker 2:

watched some bad lawyers drag out divorces make it 20 times worse on the relationships on the families and on the on the checkbook obviously okay they'll drain your bank account and drag

00:06:26 - 00:08:24 | Speaker 1:

it out when you really don't need to well in in the sad thing is that before the divorce these guys were co-parenting in such an amazing way and then when the divorce came into play all of a sudden it calls into question how horrible of a human being each person is and and so so i was i was brought in along with a bunch of people i mean there was a ton of you know different people Each side had, like, five or six people that they could bring in to be character witnesses for them. I think my character witness part, you guys would be proud of me, was a good one because I wasn't speaking as Mojo. I was speaking as my real name, Tom, because the person that I know, I know because of my children. And it's somebody that my children have had a great experience with. And so what ended up happening was I sat down. They asked me questions. The lawyers got to ask me questions. The judge asked me a ton of questions. And I gave out the, I said the truth. Yeah. And I said, you know, this person should be in their child's life. And honestly, I will say this to you guys. I sat there and I thought to myself while I was doing this, or actually before I was doing this, when I was watching other people do it, I thought, if I were in this position, who would I call as my character witness? Because I saw some of the people that he called and, you know, there was family. There was his, you know, his mother. So there was the, you know, the grandmother. And then there were, you know, mentors of him, you know, that were there, like teachers and a pastor and stuff like that. And then there's, like, me, who, honestly, I've only known this person for 15 years or so. So it's not like we, you know, have known each other for life. We came into each other's life, like, maybe 15 years ago. But I thought to myself, I'm like, if I need character witnesses, who would I call?

00:08:24 - 00:08:24 | Speaker 3:

Yeah.

00:08:25 - 00:08:40 | Speaker 1:

Would I call? Chelsea, my wife. It depends on if I really pissed her off, like, the day before. There's two people for you. I'd call Aunt Pat because Aunt Pat, I could commit a murder and Aunt Pat would take the fall for me.

00:08:40 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 2:

But for that reason, I don't even think they call family. I don't think they call siblings and spouses. I think you need someone who's not related. So I think your boss, Tony, would obviously, you guys are good friends. I think you'd be a good character. And then your barista. He'd be a great one. Starbucks, your barista would.

00:08:58 - 00:09:49 | Speaker 1:

Actually, Tony would be a good one. That would be a really good one. Tony would be a good character witness. I'd call him I couldn't have Jeff Sackwell my buddy be a character witness Because he would talk way too much Because that was one of the things too Don't overly explain things Just be direct to the point And all I kept thinking to myself was This is so hard for me I actually did I did something that we do on the air all the time That we call On the show It's always When you're in the middle of a topic You've got to make sure that the listeners know what the topic's all about. So I did the whole thing where I'm having a conversation and talking and saying the same thing. And again, we're talking about this. And I did the whole, hey, it's Mojo in the morning. How are you? Call the phone number here right now. Yeah, I'm recapping the whole thing there.

00:09:49 - 00:09:50 | Speaker 3:

What we've got coming up.

00:09:51 - 00:09:55 | Speaker 1:

But who would you guys call as your character witness? Who would be your character witnesses?

00:09:55 - 00:10:29 | Speaker 3:

I would call my like my Thank you.

00:10:00 - 00:10:05 | Speaker 5:

my best friends I would call my friend Ashley um I feel like she knows me kind of inside it out my

00:10:05 - 00:10:09 | Speaker 3:

friend Lindsay and and Ashley is a good example of you don't need to know a person for your whole

00:10:09 - 00:10:38 | Speaker 5:

life because you've not been no I've only been friends with them for probably five years but they are you know they are my people um I would call my friend Tammy because she I've been friends with her for a very long time and she is just my I just she knows like all of the you know all of the messy about me i would call wes i would call my ex-husband andrew i think that's a good one to have i really really would people wouldn't expect that no i would call him i would call i'd call you

00:10:38 - 00:10:42 | Speaker 3:

that's a good one too but you better be nice to me don't mean i feel like i'm nice to you

00:10:42 - 00:10:47 | Speaker 5:

all right you look very nice that's the second time i complimented you spike spike who would

00:10:47 - 00:11:09 | Speaker 1:

you call who would be your well uh well definitely you guys would be one of the at the top of the list because you you've known me every day at the worst hour of the morning for over a decade so i think like you know the true me i would also call my best friends uh todd and and tim and then i would probably also call there's a there's like at least one or two bartenders that i know on the

00:11:09 - 00:11:14 | Speaker 5:

regular that you know they can speak for my bartenders hairstylists yeah people who actually

00:11:14 - 00:11:25 | Speaker 1:

know did you imagine because they can say i've heard all his secrets and i've seen the best and worst of customers and i can tell you he's very even keeled he's very nice to people he's my lash

00:11:25 - 00:11:27 | Speaker 4:

lady. Your lash lady is a good

00:11:27 - 00:11:33 | Speaker 3:

one. That would actually be good. Megan, you'd have to call your brother. Can you call

00:11:33 - 00:11:36 | Speaker 4:

your brother? Yes. I know, that's why I didn't throw it away. No, they had

00:11:36 - 00:11:41 | Speaker 3:

You can do family? There was a sibling yesterday. That was this one, yes.

00:11:41 - 00:11:45 | Speaker 4:

I feel like if I was the judge, though, I'd be like, biased. No, because

00:11:45 - 00:11:48 | Speaker 3:

here's the deal. Not all the time do your brother or sisters like you.

00:11:49 - 00:11:50 | Speaker 4:

That's true. But if you're

00:11:50 - 00:11:56 | Speaker 1:

volunteering the one, if you're calling the one to stand, then Yeah It's obviously a good one

00:11:56 - 00:12:06 | Speaker 4:

I don't think I'd call you guys Genuinely If I were to call anybody from the show It would probably be Mike

00:12:06 - 00:12:08 | Speaker 3:

You know what, that's a good one

00:12:08 - 00:12:11 | Speaker 4:

He's really nice, I'd call Mike for sure

00:12:11 - 00:12:16 | Speaker 1:

I wouldn't call on Megan for help Because she'd never see the text She'd never be there for me

00:12:16 - 00:12:20 | Speaker 4:

This is why I wouldn't invite you You proved my point, thank you very much

00:12:20 - 00:12:24 | Speaker 3:

Misfit Victor, who would you Or what are you calling about?

00:12:24 - 00:12:28 | Speaker 2:

All you'd have to do is call me That's all you'd have to do

00:12:28 - 00:12:31 | Speaker 3:

You would be the worst character witness

00:12:31 - 00:12:42 | Speaker 2:

Why would I be the worst character witness I could give so many examples Of how many times you've talked me off the ledge And what you've done for me It would be great That's all you'd need

00:12:42 - 00:12:48 | Speaker 3:

They would look at your social media And they would right away go This guy's a bad guy

00:12:48 - 00:12:53 | Speaker 2:

Yeah but I'm just saying I have nothing but high regard for you

00:12:53 - 00:13:15 | Speaker 3:

All right, let me ask you a question. If you had to character witness for Mike, okay, you listen to the show on a very frequent basis. You have to character witness for Mike right now, who is right now in a little bit of hot water. All right, I'm the judge. So, Misfit Victor, tell us your relationship with Mike.

00:13:16 - 00:13:25 | Speaker 2:

I think Mike is a longtime friend of mine. I bought him this microwave egg thing, and he likes it a lot. He's a great dad. a great husband.

00:13:25 - 00:13:30 | Speaker 3:

You say he's a great dad. Give me an example of why he's a great dad.

00:13:30 - 00:13:35 | Speaker 2:

I mean, I just see the social media posts that he posts with his kids, and his kids love him a lot.

00:13:36 - 00:13:37 | Speaker 3:

How do you really know

00:13:37 - 00:13:40 | Speaker 2:

they're his kids? They remember his birthday, unlike his bosses.

00:13:41 - 00:13:59 | Speaker 3:

I would never call it him. You've got to bring that up. They ask questions like that. How do you really know that? It's like they ask these questions. I'm like, you're trying to throw me off here right now. Why are you doing this whole thing? I've got a whole monologue that i want to say all right spike you're on megan now you get to character witness for for megan

00:13:59 - 00:14:18 | Speaker 1:
