They're in 382 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: the back seat because one stupid person left his valuable 383 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: stuff in his car, and another stupid person stole the car, 384 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: tracked him, called the police why chasing him. The police 385 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: are now engaged, and now my son and his buddy 386 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: in a truck with three police cars are chasing his 387 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: car with the hatch open, with the hatch open the 388 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 2: terrible part of Memphis, to which the two stupid people 389 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: that stole the car decided, you know, this just didn't 390 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: worth it. They roll the car up on a corner, 391 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: jump out, and run off through a neighborhood and the 392 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 2: cops and Max pull up and he gets his car back. 393 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 4: He said it costs him like three thousand dollars or something. 394 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: Well, he left a bunch of stuff in the car 395 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: that they stole, and the rearview mirror which is attached 396 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: to all of your sensors and your backup camera and 397 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: all that. The first thing they do when they steal 398 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: your car apparently yanked that off the windshield and throw 399 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: it out the window because that's where the GPS econ is. 400 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: So oh, they didn't They didn't plan on the ear 401 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: pods and. 402 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: The plan on the AirPods. But it has like six wires, 403 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 2: So now he's got a windshield with all these wires 404 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: hanging down. I didn't know, so he's going to have 405 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: to pay for that. But I think that is a 406 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: tax for being a stupid person, and I'm glad I 407 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: asked it. There's another stupid person involved, the cop that 408 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: made the scene at as as how, she was probably 409 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 2: twenty seven or eight, equally stupid. She did not engage 410 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: in the chase for the stolen car and the criminals 411 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: who stole my son's stuff, but she was happy to 412 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 2: give my son a ticket or leaving his car running, 413 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: just an unattended vehicle ticket. But it was in his driveway, 414 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: on his private property, not in the street. 415 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 4: So it's is that still legal doing it in your 416 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 4: own private property. 417 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: You can do whatever you want to in your private 418 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: property right if it was on the street, it had 419 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 2: been triket worthy. So now she showed her youth and 420 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: stupidity through writing a ticket that is completely illegal, which 421 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 2: is being thrown out. So that basically what happened in 422 00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: about a forty five minute period of time, Mints, a 423 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: confederacy of dunces. 424 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 4: Were you on the phone at all during any of this? 425 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: Yes? And then I showed up to watch it all unfold, 426 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: and there was this. It was just a confederacy of 427 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: stupid people engaging with one another in a way that 428 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 2: now is laughable, but at the time was chilling. 429 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 4: Was Lisa on the phone during this? Was Lisa on 430 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: the phone? 431 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: Now Lisa realized that it was a confederate stupid people 432 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: who did not want to be involved, and she stated 433 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: him she. 434 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: Was the only smart one. 435 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 2: Yes, I joined the ranks of the idiots for showing up. 436 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: Just just but for the laughter. 437 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: Well now, but at the time I was really not 438 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: happy because I was surrounded by ignorance, bliss, and superstition. 439 00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 5: Speaking of stupid you're supposed to have her devices. 440 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: Mine are completely closed down, all right, I love you, 441 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 2: so okay, anyway, you bring in people that do things 442 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: just like the story we just told.

But and that's awesome. But one of 607 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: the things we talk about is magic happens where you 608 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 2: see an area of need and you have a passion 609 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 2: and you use that passion to fill that area need 610 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: and that you do not have to have a mass 611 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: of five OHO one c. Three, You don't have to do. 612 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 2: All you have to do is have a talent and 613 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: a passion and see where that talent and passion can 614 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 2: fill into an aera need and just make somebody's life better. 615 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: That's all it takes to be a boar of the army, 616 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 2: and we believe there's people like that all over the world. 617 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 2: We also believe that there is this narrative that is 618 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 2: propped up by an enormous amount of power and wealth 619 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 2: in places like DC international media on both sides of 620 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 2: the spectrum, that that power and wealth is maintained by 621 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: crafting narratives to convince us that we're all enemies and 622 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 2: that there aren't that many people doing good things. We're 623 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 2: trying to be the antithesis to that narrative by telling 624 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 2: stories people who have passions and disciplines and use those 625 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 2: passions and disciplines just to make somebody's life a little better. 626 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 2: That's the idea. You are quintessentially that and it's not 627 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 2: about cooking cakes for your fellow hairdressers, although that's kind 628 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: of where it started. 629 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: That's where it started, So. 630 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: About ten years ago or so, maybe seven back in 631 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Evergreen Church and Awful. 632 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: Actually it was the tenth anniversary of nine to eleven. 633 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 2: But that church was is it the church? 634 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: So it was twenty eleven, okay, our church was doing 635 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: a service honoring first responders on the tenth anniversary of nine. 636 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 2: Eleven, which is beautiful and nov. 637 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: So our pastor asked us, there's a list of police 638 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: and fire departments.

There's a main station 683 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: in the Linwood had two. There was a larger one. 684 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: I was at the smaller station and he says, like, 685 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: there's I think there was like sixty of them at 686 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: the time. And I said, well, Ken, I'll have a 687 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: birthday at the same time, so I don't care. That's 688 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: fine with me, and he says okay. And then a 689 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: week later I got a phone call and I said, 690 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: I just need somebody to coordinate, you know, let me 691 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: know who's having a birthday each month, and I'll bring cake. 692 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: What does this have to do with the church thing? Though? 693 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 1: Nothing. 694 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 2: You've just gone nothing. You went down your own path. 695 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: No, I yeah, okay, that was my god voice that 696 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: told me what to do. I got it, so I 697 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: listened to the I haven't always listened to that none 698 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: of us have. So I've gotten older, I've learned to listen. 699 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 2: I got it. 700 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: So that's where it started. And I'm like, so I 701 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: would get a phone call and they would give me 702 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: a list, and I found out later that I'm bringing 703 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: a birthday cake to a guy that's probably not even 704 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: at work, but his cake came and I would drop 705 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: it off at the front desk with the little old 706 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: lady volunteers. And I did that for now, my dude, 707 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: this is most people think, oh, you know, oh, I'm single, 708 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: I don't have I'm not married, I don't have children. No, 709 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: it was not about trying to meet a fireman. It 710 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: was not my intention whatsoever. It was because that was 711 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 1: what I was supposed to do. I didn't know why 712 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: I was supposed to do it at the time. 713 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 2: And that concludes parton one of my conversation with Tanya 714 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 2: Ray Piper, and you don't want to miss part two. 715 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 2: That's now I'll be able to listen to together, guys, 716 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 2: we can change this country, but it starts with you. 717 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,439 Speaker 2: I'll see you in part two.
