When when you 130 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: said that, I think you said something like, uh, just 131 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: just just you allowing her to do this just to 132 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: be happy. That didn't come across really good on TV, 133 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: and then it didn't. It made you. It made you 134 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: look bad though Massault. You know what I'm saying. It 135 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: made you look like you show this, It made you 136 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: look souvinistic. And then it really took me back because wow, 137 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: he said that, Because because because because your wife, she's beautiful, 138 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, she's honest, she's loving, and and it looked 139 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: like her. So that's what I'm saying is that when 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: you do these shows, you know, because you're you're you're 141 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: you're on this couple, you have an open communication and 142 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: sometimes you might joke around and make a statement, but 143 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: then they let's get captured on film that becomes part 144 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: of the storyline. Did that moment, how did that moment 145 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: play back to you guys when it aired, and did 146 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: you have to deal with any issues within the household 147 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: when it aired? Um, I can't say right now that 148 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: that was not my best moment one of all the 149 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: time of things that, uh, you know, I I mean, 150 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: I don't.

And the truth of 154 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: the matter is, I mean, I hate to say it, 155 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, it's it's just it was just 156 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: a mistake on my part with that, with that, and 157 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: I apologize to that. And I think that a challenge 158 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: with us because we're I know, everyone says they're authentic, 159 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: but the challenge with us because we're authentic and you 160 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: are authentic. Yeah, yeah, and we don't. We didn't what 161 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: blind signed it us and what blind sided me particularly, 162 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: I don't care about people talking about me, but what 163 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: blind sided about me is how my jokes made my 164 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: wife look.

But but that that's but that's the whole 202 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: part of this whole process with with we're knowing that 203 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: that can air like that, and then that later on 204 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: went uh when I think my tale accused you of 205 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: having twenty women, which I thought was terrible, which I 206 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: thought was horrible, just to throw something out there and 207 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: then then your mother in law bring it back later on, 208 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: That's not why you guys did this show. But what 209 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: are the what are the benefits of doing this type 210 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: of show so far? Well, that's not one of them. 211 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: I can I can say that right now. Um, you 212 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: know I. UM, that's I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you 213 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: a dealing story. We I'm doing a business deal with 214 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: a gentleman and and I was doing in the midst 215 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: of speaking with one of the owners. They uh, I'm 216 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: sitting there talking. He said, hey, let me tell you something, 217 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: and he pulls out the telephone and he shows where 218 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: he was inquired about our company. And that person said, well, 219 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't know them, great, but I just did some 220 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: research and this is what I found. And the person 221 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: sent that to the person I'm doing business with. And 222 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: the first thing he said is Marcel's got infidelity. And 223 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, if I'm sitting in 224 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: his chair and I'm looking to do business with someone, 225 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: I don't want uh, integrity related issues to be the 226 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: primary focus. That can I trust this guy, you know? 227 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: And so that right there was definitely unexpected. Now we 228 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: ended up winning. He said, listen, I'm more concerned with 229 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: you as a person, not necessarily you as the actor. 230 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: But I want to make sure that when Marcelo's got 231 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: when the name Marslof Scott is written, you know, and Pen, 232 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, when I'm no longer here, that what I've 233 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: done and who I am actually get designed through. And 234 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: so that was definitely a blind side for me and 235 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: he to be very clear, that was not that. That's 236 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: not the reason why we got on it and along 237 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: that same path, that's not something I couldn't. I couldn't 238 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: continue along that because that's not even reality. That's just 239 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: mess right now. That's not fair, that's not fair, you know. 240 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: And and then but that's why my opening question was 241 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: why are you guys doing this show? Because I saw 242 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: an authentic couple. I saw a loving couple. I saw 243 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: a strong black woman. I saw a strong black man. 244 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: I remember o Maga Side five Fraternity, So I know 245 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: you're strong, you get up so with that along, okay, 246 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: But when you when you get tossed into these storylines 247 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: and these editors sit in the room, they can shape 248 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: stories to go not the direction that you wanted to go. 249 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: But the beauty of this series with you two is 250 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: I love the way I'm seeing you coming out of 251 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: this cocoon. The teacher and I think that's important because 252 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: the fastest growing entrepreneurs in America are black females, and 253 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: so you are playing such a tremendous role and showing 254 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: that it's possible. Even in the Huntsville, Alabama there are opportunities. 255 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: So do you understand that you You may know this already, 256 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: I don't understand anything crazy, But do you understand that 257 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: you are a role mardel, how powerful you are presenting 258 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: yourself to to to African American women. You know, I 259 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: didn't look at it that way, and wow, none did 260 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: you say that there's there's definitely something to consider going forward. Um, 261 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: but it's just I just want to show that yes, 262 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: you can have a power for marriage and also run 263 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: a successful business while raising amazing kids. That is my 264 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: overall goal. I don't want to be a successful businesswoman 265 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: but lose my husband, you know, in the process. So 266 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: that's example I want to put out there. I know 267 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: there's so many ladies now they want to be, you know, 268 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: a box on box. I'm seeing I'm running things and 269 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, it's okay. So let your man really 270 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: be the lead in the head in your family and 271 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: you have your role as a wife in his helpmate. 272 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: My visions for all of this was when I pray 273 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: about you know where I'm going and where I'm heading 274 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: in life, God is putting on my heart.

Now 339 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there, We're gonna be working together. I 340 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: was like teaking for you. I want you to understand 341 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: that no matter how big my personality is and where 342 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: I am at right now, your your star is brighter 343 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: than mine when it comes to this. Because as even 344 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: right now we have a strip mall um in North Flintsville, 345 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm a commercial developer. He owns the strip mall. Even 346 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 1: as she was a stay at home mom, she was 347 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: the owner of our apartment complex. So the sole owner 348 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: is there any property sole owner? So the thing about 349 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: it is I hateful. Even with the choponism, this is 350 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: a lot we can laugh in the background. Right, chopping 351 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: is the main control is because even as people say, hey, 352 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: he stay at home mom, I don't want them to 353 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: think that the check them downs are not there. In 354 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: terms of ownership. She owns eight of scope. He owns 355 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: of the real state endeavors. She owns fifty one for 356 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: some of the Black de Girl lines. And so this 357 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: this my Storson lost his mind in terms of oh 358 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: he controlled and I walked away right now, I'd walking 359 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: with with less than fifteent of our wealth. So, uh, 360 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, her start is bright, she had a bright stop. Now, Marcel, 361 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't dimnitioning her store. I was shining there, 362 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: I was shining. No, no, no, no no, I was 363 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: in agreement with you that you know it is the 364 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: beauty of it. Now. The moment for me, Marso, which 365 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: I thought really because I'm talking about the show too, 366 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: was was this was the storyline moment that really I 367 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: thought brought your character back was when in the restaurant, 368 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: you know, when you saw her. They allowed us to 369 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: see that you saw her potential. You know that was 370 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: important for your character. I thought for this for the 371 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: first season. Did you do you agree? Yeah? I think so, 372 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: I think so. I think that, Um, I don't know 373 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: how this works. Growing up, I wanted to be a projector, 374 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: I want to be provided heard. We we we were 375 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: we you know, we we saw it was holding it down. 376 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: That that's how we value the measure, and so yes, 377 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: I thought that, you know, I was doing right, you know, 378 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: and I didn't realize that. I mean, honestly, I just 379 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: didn't didn't even give the second thought that, you know, 380 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: my wife wanted to do this stuff too. I thought 381 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: he just wanted to be to sit back and kill 382 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: and we just kind of I didn't know how to 383 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: deal with it. I didn't know what it meant for us. 384 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: And so just as long as I'm listening and see 385 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: that he can contribute, and more so, enough thought, so yeah, 386 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: take him back a little bit on that one. But 387 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: you see how hard it say he was. He was like, okay, baby. 388 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: But then the authentic part of it, See, see I 389 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: got an eye for talent, and I see things play out, 390 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: and I see what they could do in the end 391 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: in the room. And I thought that was important that 392 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: that episode came up because I knew you kind of 393 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: like you joke a lot. You want the jokesters. You 394 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: know that your wife, And and like I said, people 395 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: can read jokes differently if they don't see the whole joke, 396 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: they just see the punch line. And so they caught 397 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: you a lot of punchlines. Okay, And then it built 398 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: you to be like a controlling guy. But that moment 399 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: in that restaurant, man, they shot it beautifully. Man, when 400 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: you looked over and go, Babe, I love you, I 401 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: got you, I got your back to me.

I'm gonna do 458 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: a cigar lounge in huts first before you answer to 459 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: the course, to tell everybody about Huntsville the environment, because 460 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: I've been there several times, because I should do stand 461 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: up comedy, and how's you coming to town and do? 462 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: And that's the headquarters of NASA. There's a lot of 463 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: a lot of educated people, a lot of educated dollars 464 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: in hunts Field. A lot of people know about it. 465 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: Tell us about Huntsville, right quick, Marcel Well hunt hunt 466 00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: is a you know, it is a fast growing city. Uh, 467 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: it's it's one of the most north it's the northernmost uh, 468 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, major cities in Alabama. And honestly it's it's uh, 469 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: it's a melting pot in terms of diversity of thought, 470 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: it is uh, you know, diversity of income. Most people 471 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: in that are living in Huntville now because of NASA, FBI, Facebook, 472 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: Hilaris and a lot of people that have come in 473 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: front of boom. A lot of people are not from Huntsville. 474 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: And so you get that, you get that ability to think, 475 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean, as the most engineers for Cathol, I believe 476 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: in the the United States, definitely the most rocket scientists. So 477 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not crazy to have a conversation at 478 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: the bar and say, what are you some kind of 479 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: rocket scientists and they say, exactly right, And it's and 480 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: and it's really funny because it's not just it's it's uh, 481 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: it's a higher income, but it's not it's engineer money, 482 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: and engineer money spends a lot different than entertainment money 483 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: or um things like that. So when when people look 484 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: at what people look for and hunt to Ville, they 485 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: look for value. And you know, when we're kind of 486 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: assessing the area and kind of doing our demographic study 487 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: and saying what are we want to put over in 488 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: this area, that's kind of how Cigar Lounge came about. 489 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: When we're talking about when we started examining the area 490 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: and saying, you know what, what would be a good 491 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: fit here? Now, Okay, I was just gonna just add 492 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: a little bit to what Marco just said. The area 493 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: that we're developing the Cigar Lounge at the medium income 494 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: in that particular areas right around A hundred and fifty 495 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: one thousand. It's like, yeah, and it's a great area 496 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: for redevelopment and also small business grow um in North Huntsville, 497 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: which is where our that's our target market right now. 498 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: And it's like the economy there is the market prostrest 499 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: is like, um, it has increased by more than justice 500 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: like two thousand and eight. And then when you're you're 501 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: thinking about small business grow and around Seving Pit Range, 502 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: it's a great area to coming to to develop and 503 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: we're linking for more small businesses and restaurants to come 504 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: into the area. Well, wow, it sounds like a lot 505 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: of research has been put into this whole process. Is 506 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: food going to be served at the cigar lounge? Yes, sir, 507 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: it's by definition, but based on zoning, it's a restaurant, 508 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: right and in that so so we can't have an 509 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: actual class to lounge like a license. We're gonna definitely 510 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: have alcohol. Um. So it is actually a restaurant there, right, Um, 511 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: But but it features more topics, so you know it 512 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: features more topics. Is really upscale? Um? You know, exclusively, 513 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: I guess. I guess our tacklines is exclusively for everyone, 514 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, to make sure that we're exclusive without excluding. 515 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: You know. The interesting thing about one of the reasons, 516 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: one of the one of the topics I bring up, 517 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: I always talk about a balanced life, living a balanced life, 518 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: and you know, this is really something that rings out 519 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: and when I communicate even when you were saying okay, 520 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: you know when we jokingly talked about the five year rule, 521 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: because that was that was your version of balanced life. 522 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: And then teachers say, hey, I want to get back 523 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: out there early. Then the balanced life, the whole issue 524 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: comes into the plane and all that stuff. Talk about 525 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: that whole how how is the balanced life working? Because 526 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: your kids? I always tell people children didn't ask to 527 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: come in this world. We brought them in, you know, 528 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: and then when they come here, we gotta be responsible 529 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: to raising them right and showing getting them time and 530 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: pointing them in the right direction.
