And I said, hey, it got us, 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.760 it got us here, and she's like, yeah, So I 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.800 think I don't know a spite so much anymore. But 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.160 in the beginning, I felt like everybody was against me, 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.760 and that's the way I had to feel in order 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.800 to succeed. If I felt well, I just had you 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:44.120 just have. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.480 To feel like you have Well, I didn't have any 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:48.120 other options. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.160 But I don't know why I made myself feel like 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.800 I had any but I may I made I put 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.360 myself in an adversarial position in order to dig myself 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:56.760 out of that. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:57.760 How the hell do you? 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.199 Was there anything or anybody after that experience that motivated 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:03.160 you or got you back on. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.440 I gave you that sense of confidence. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:06.000 You know. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.080 My baseball coach, when I was getting ready to graduate, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.880 we had done a car wash in order to raise 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.040 money to get equipment, you know, and I hadn't sold. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.120 I was never I was. I was shy. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.320 I wasn't a guy to go knocking asking people if 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.760 they could buy car wash tickets. So when I gave 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.600 him the tickets back, he said, you owe me two 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:26.560 hundred and fifty dollars. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:27.120 I said for what? 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.600 For the tickets you didn't sell? I said, I didn't 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.880 sell any Yeah, but you took them. You're liable for 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.680 the two fifty. I said, I'm not giving you any money, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.280 you know. And he and I when nose to nose, 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.960 I was like seventeen, and he told me, you know, 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.160 you're a quitter and when times get tough, you quit. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.760 And I'd like to see where you are in ten years. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.559 I just see where you are. 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.560 In fifteen years. Because when shake is tough, you pack 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.120 it in. You pack it in because it's too tough 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:55.680 for you. And when the shiit is tough, you quit. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.720 And I was like, is that right? And we're like this, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.840 and I remember I turned around and my friends were like, 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.320 I couldn't believe it. A teacher and a student going 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.400 nose to nose. And you know, when I started playing 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.160 golf in nineteen eighty one, and golf is hard to play, 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.360 I would pick my ball up and. 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.160 I would tell this guy, say, man, I'm leaving. Where 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.600 you going? I'm going? 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.439 You know, I forgot I had to go do something. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.839 But I was quitting because it was tough. And then 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.280 one day in the car, like in those movies, his 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.640 head showed up like in the movies, and I pulled 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.080 over to the side of the road and I said, shit, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.760 this guy was right. And I went back to the 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.920 high school. He was still coaching, and I went and 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.160 apologized to him, maybe the only person I'd ever apologized 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.839 to in my life, because we would just pretend people 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.400 didn't exist if you didn't agree with him. And and 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:37.960 I went back there and he said, what do you 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.280 What are you doing there? I said, hey, man, I 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.760 came to apologize to you for the way that I 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.400 treated you when I was here. And then I went 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.200 over the stuff and he shook my hand and he said, 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.560 you know, that might be hope for you, but in 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.680 all honesty, I don't think. I don't think I could 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.199 have gone forward if I knew that that guy was 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.560 right and I didn't go over there and apologize. 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.320 To him that I love that dude. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.440 That was never a guy that would be by the 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.280 you know, that's hey, that's a you know, that's the 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.880 main thing to do.
