35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna borre you with all the details. I kind of

36
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: jumped through it. But uh, I was born and raised

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: right here in southern California by two parents who grew

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: up in the South, and uh, you know, my mom

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: and dad definitely wanted to make a better life for

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: themselves being minorities growing up in New Orleans and Louisiana

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: time was not an easy task, right, and they did

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: not want to raise the family there. They made the

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: decision to move to California and bless me and my

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: sister with a life that they never could have. And

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's really what set the tone for me

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: growing up watching them, seeing them uh in many ways

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: excel and overachieve based upon their background, right, And that

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: showed me at an early age that it doesn't matter

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: where you come from, it matters where you're going. And

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: you have to have that internal fortitude to push and

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: push and really break out of the norms, break out

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: of the things that people are telling you you can't

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: and can't do. And you know, so anyone tells me

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: I can't do something, that's that's that's that's, that's all

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: that does for me to say, let's go right, so

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: born and race here man, and then uh, you know,

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: joined the Air Force. I was an Air Force guy

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: for than well, thank you very much, man. It was

59
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: it was it was for me very You know, when

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: you're when you're eighteen, those are your formative years. You

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: think you're grown, right, you think here, man, then you

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: find out quickly there's a lot to learn. I have

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: some growing up to do a real fast. Mom was

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: not here, So that really that that is still to

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: me into me. I believe qualities of my character that

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: I've I've tried to take on throughout the rest of

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: my life. And actually it's still in my own children, right,

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: and bring that to light to them that you know

69
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: what you need to be able to do what you

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: say and say what you do, honor your commitments, be

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: respectful to others. Right. But there's there's a brotherhood in

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: the military. I was a firefighter in the Air Force,

73
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: and there's a brotherhood that goes along with that. And

74
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: that that that really is I have your back, you know,

75
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: to today we may not be having the best day, right,

76
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: We may not like each other at this very moment,

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: because when you live with guys in the firehouse, there

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: are days when you're not loving each other. Yeah, just

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: like having fifteen brothers and position. Right. But at the

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: end of the day, man, when that bell rings, you

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: go and you put it all aside, and you walk

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: into danger, You run into burning buildings with the knowledge

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: and the comfort that people have your back. So let

84
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: me let me start a second on that and then continue.

85
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: But um, you know, tell us a story of you know,

86
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: you're going into a burning you know house, I give

87
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: us something about that, you know, I'd like to hear

88
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: a little deeper into that forthing, because first of all,

89
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: thank you for your services as a firefighters. I mean,

90
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: those are those are major, major accomplishments something I think

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: some you know, every boy's little dream is at first

92
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: to probably be a cob, then to be a firefighter,

93
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: maybe maybe an attorney or something, or a sports ball player. Uh,

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: you accomplished one of those, what you know, tell us

95
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: one of those you know, feel good stories are you know,

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: well there there really is one. So when I had

97
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: come back from overseas, I was overseas overseas for two years.

98
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: When I came back, I was stationed at George Air

99
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: Force Base up in Victorville, and I was the head

100
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: of rescue there. And at that point in time, Victorville

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: was really still small a sparia. Victorville, Apple Apple Valley

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: was just it was barely on the map on the radar.

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: So they didn't have their own fire stations. They had

104
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: fire stations, but they didn't have fully functioning fire stations.

105
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: So the Air Force partnered up and teamed up. That

106
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: was kind of our gift back to the communities that

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: we ran rescue in that area, and we were responsible

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: for everything from car crashes to uh fires taking place.

109
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: And there was a car accident on the Comb Pass

110
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: that we went into and it was a family and

111
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: so this wasn't a burning building, but it was a

112
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: dire situation where we were able to get to them, uh,

113
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: get them out of their vehicles, distract them from the vehicles,

114
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: and and honestly, if we hadn't been able to get

115
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: into that into that vehicle and get those kids out,

116
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have made it because there was enough damage

117
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: internally that they were able to get them on hellicopters,

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: get him to the hospital and get them saved. But

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: I can't tell you one more. My favorite story is

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: actually it wasn't It wasn't an actual fire, was a

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: training fire. So my mom flies all the way to

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: England to see her a little boy, right, and she

123
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: comes out to the fire station on base. So my

124
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: my fire chiefly, Hey, it'll be really cool for your

125
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: mom to see what you do, right, So we do

126
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: a training fire. We have a burnhouse. So they put

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: all the wood pallets and everything in the burnhouse. She's

128
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: in the in the in the suburban with my chief

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: and they light it up and here we go, right,

130
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: So she sees my truck pulling up. She sees me

131
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: jumping out and fly. We pull open the door. Flames

132
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: bellow out underneath that. We go and we go into

133
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: do our rescue job. I come out and my mom

134
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: is They have my mom on the ground. She's hyperventilating.

135
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: She's hyperventiating. She saw her kid run into a burning building.

136
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: She knew was a fireman, but she didn't know I

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: was a fireman. My chief is like, oh, that was

138
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: a bad idea. That's on me. That's a bad idea.

139
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: So that was the first and last time that ever happened. Yeah, yeah,

140
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: But you know what's what's so cool about that is

141
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: she really did have an understanding. So for the rest

142
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: of the time, I'd get a phone call every day,

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: baby you okay, you're good, Okay, you get today exactly.

144
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: She needed to recap that, she needed to recap job.

145
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: You know what. So I do, though, if I can

146
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: also want to tip my hat to all the all

147
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: the people out there who are doing that right now,

148
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: the men and the women who are doing that daily

149
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: right now. You don't understand the sacrifice, the time away

150
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: from home, the commitment you have to make to your

151
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: to your craft is unbelievable. You know, always honestly thought

152
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: firemen were literally the coolest thing in the world. Like,

153
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: you're putting your life on the line on a daily

154
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: basis for other people. In my mind, I mean, you

155

Speaker 1: the time, life doesn't always work out the way you

166
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: believe it will. You know, you can do all the

167
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: right things and still have obstacles, still have a hurdles

168
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be placed in your way, and for me,

169
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: that's what builds your ultimate character. Right, how do you

170
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: how do you overcome that? Right? Broken dreams, right, things

171
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: that don't work out the way you intended or with

172
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the way you wanted, you know. And it's really easy

173
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: to sit back and say, you know, it's everybody else's fault. Right,

174
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: the system was against me, people were against me, whatever

175
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: that might be. It's oh, yeah, because it's the easy way.

176
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: That's the easy way, right. Or do you say, no,

177
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let that happen, right, I've got now

178
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: I have to overcome this. And I certainly wasn't a

179
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: kid who could go home and complain. I can't look

180
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: my dad and the I who helped to integrate l

181
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: s U and had National Guard walk them into class

182
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: and look at him and say it's too hard. Yeah,

183
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: that was not gonna happen, ryems. But how do you

184
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: look at a person and I who's been through ten

185
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: times more yeah, and was successful, right, who had hardships

186
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: that you can't even fathom or imagine. True, And a

187
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: lot of us don't really understand. I think, you know,

188
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: how how nice we have it as we and you

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: know it's having team building meetings, right. Sure, we did

190
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: in the office today. And you know, when you sit there,

191
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: you think about everything you're doing, everything that's involved in you,

192
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: but you don't necessarily look at everybody else's roles. And

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: when you can see everybody else's roles or what they've

194
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: lived through or what they're going through, you know. And

195
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: I've told my son, like, you know, you don't know

196
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: how good you have it, you know, I said, there's

197
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: kids out there that are getting sexually molested. There's kids

198
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: out there that are getting injured and by their families

199
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: physically and mentally, emotionally, verbally, um And I said, and

200
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: it's just like you know, when you complain about such

201
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: a little thing, you know, the world knows that you

202
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: just don't know yet. But at one point you gotta know,

203
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: you have to know, you gotta get it, you know,

204
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: absolutely life, that's part of life and growing up. Right.

205
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: But what you just said though, right, we did have

206
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: a meeting here today. Now I had the pleasure of

207
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: sitting in on that and it was team building it

208
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: But those are all the things that you take with

209
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: you throughout. So the things I've seen and learned Right,

210
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: we're emulated in that room. Right, it does carry over

211
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: to corporate America. Right, the life lessons that you learned,

212
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: whether that be in sports, I was playing sports as child,

213
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: or being a firefire in the Air Force, or you know,

214
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: coming from a background in a family that has to

215
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: work through hardships and heartache. Right, it does translate if

216
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: you allow it to. If you have the open mind

217
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: to sit down and take those those lessons and reapply them. Right,

218
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: learn from the good and the bad and reapply it.

219
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: You're going to be successful. You're going to be successful.

220
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: And my kids know that today. I'm not the dad

221
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: who's gonna sit back and say, you tried. I don't.

222
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't believe in participation trophies. I don't believe in

223
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: that there are winners and there's losers. Period. There can

224
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: only be one number one. Right, Second place maybe not

225
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: be terrible, but I'm sure you would have preferred first.

00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: tiny startup called Realtor dot com and helped get that

307
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: off the ground and going. It was very, very proud

308
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: of what we were able to do there. Uh left

309
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: there and UH staying software for a little while. And Uh,

310
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that for me, it was it

311
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: was the most soul as job I've ever had. Really. Yeah, no, no, no, no,

312
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: When software in general software in general. UH, it's a

313
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: very transactional business where you know, the look, the product

314
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: was fantastic, the product was great, UH, and the product

315
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,359
Speaker 1: did help large corporations protect their software, protect their their

316
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: their uh, their their personal data, and integrative their data.

317
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: So it was needed. But it was transactional. You really

318
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: weren't worried about building a relationship with a person on

319
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: the other end of that line or the person that

320
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: you're saying across with your trying to get to the

321
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: deal right, working towards that deal, and when the deal

322
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: was done, you moved on. And that aspect for me

323
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: just didn't quite work. I love building relationships and I

324
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: love when someone calls me years later and talks to

325
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: me still because I from there just real quick, you know,

326
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: I went to I got into the golf industry and

327
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: the hospitality industry, and that's where I really fell in

328
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: love with hospitality because of the fact that you're you're

329
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: creating milestone moments in the world of events for people,

330
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: and these are moments that they're gonna take with them

331
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: for the rest of our lives. It could be their wedding,

332
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: it could be a Sweet six team, it could be

333
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: a corporate event of some sizeable magnitude. It could be

334
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: uh an event at the Rose Bowl, you know, for

335
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: for the National Championship Game, and you're doing two tailgates simultaneously,

336
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: side by side on two fairways, and you're just seeing

337
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: smiles and faces. And I still get letters from universities

338
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: that we represented at the Rose Bowl through American Golf

339
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: telling me it was the best best tailgate they ever had.

340
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's so nice, you know. I when I

341
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: look at my core friends and and we think about like,

342
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, I have some friends that I've known since

343
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: I was a kid man, and we've kept a great relationship,

344
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: you know. I mean we don't. We don't you know,

345
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: hang out every day, but but we have that Hey

346
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: what's up, Happy holidays. Hey let's get in line, Let's

347
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: go to a ballgame. You know. There there's those those things,

348
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: and you know, I see a lot of people that

349
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: don't have that, and I often wonder why because you know,

350
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: maybe because they they were um, didn't have the right friends,

351
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: or maybe that they weren't the right friends to their friends,

352
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: you know. And and you know, I love hearing you

353
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: because I've seen you in the last couple of weeks.

354
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: I've been, you know, fortunate to work with you on

355
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: the Gridirons Grads, the golf tournament to you know, we're

356
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: heading towards that direction. And you know, I've noticed that

357
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: people check on you, man. You know, I'm I'm watching

358
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: people call, they talk to you. You know that you

359
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: have friends, you have a core group of people. You know,

360
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: those things are are very not only they're hard to find,

361
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: because I think we have a group that just naturally

362
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: has that, but there's a lot of people that don't

363
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: have that. And it's just it's nice and refreshing to see, man,

364
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: and it's a pleasure. Well, thank you for that I got.

365
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you my time here at campus

366
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: talk one on one over the past several weeks, you know,

367
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: almost two months now, we've been ramping up for this

368
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: event together, and so I've had a lot of time

369
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: to immerse here, right And I you probably heard me

370
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: refer to this as my home away from home for

371
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and it is a home.

372
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: The environment that you guys have built here, the culture

373
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: that you have instilled here is family. It's family, man,

374
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: And this is what I'm talking about, right, It doesn't

375
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: feel like a job when you're going to your second home. Yeah.

376
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: So the people that you've you know, you've been, You've

377
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: been in my vehicle and you've heard me take these

378
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: phone calls, and these are people have worked with for

379
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: years and been a big part of my past. I've

380
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: always tried to create that environment wherever I've been, and

381
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: that's why I got out of the soul of software

382
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: game and got in hospitality, because you can create a

383
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: family environment. That was Lucky Strike. I didn't bring up

384
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: Lucky Strike. I need you because by far, that was

385
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: eight years of my life that I would put on

386
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: repeat over and over and over again. And I want

387
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: to interject there too, because the time. But when when

388
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: you first told me that you were at Lucky Strike

389
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: and you said the years that you were at I

390
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 1: started counting up and I'm like, wait a second, I

391
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: was there. I was the chick that was on the

392
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: bar promotions for Lucky Strike. For some of that, it's

393
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: just something like the punk rock shows, Yes you punk

394
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: rock bowling and yes, absolutely, And I'm like, I was

395
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: there at the one in Hollywood that was your year.

396
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: How much fun was that? That was incredible? And that

397
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: was the environment every day. That was the environment. Whether

398
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: you were in the corporate office down there in Sherman Oaks,

399
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: or you were at the Hollywood location, the Bellevue location,

400
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: wherever you went, that was the environment we created. And

401
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: that's you know, look culture, corporate environment. It's top down. Yeah,

402
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: it's top down. It's everywhere. It's top down. I can

403
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: walk into a building and really get a true feeling

404
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: of leadership after spending ten minutes with employees. But Lucky

405
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: Strike definitely had that vibe. Like the Lucky Strike like family,

406
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: I really was. They really operated like a family and

407
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: everyone was in a Thursday or something used to do

408
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: it on it was every week you'd see them just

409
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: and that that was because of the Fosters, Stephen Foster

410
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: and his wife Gillian. They created that environment. And if

411
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: you were going to be a leader in that in

412
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: that company, you need to emulate that environment. And and

413
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: I love it us back to some of the core

414
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: values we have here at Cannabis talk, because like caring, communication, absolutely,

415
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: and it's like they're very simple, you know. And but

416
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: but sometimes you know a lot of employers and I

417
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: say this, you know some some companies, right, You'll never

418
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: see the owner you work for that company, you'll never

419
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: even meet them. And and and that's that's okay. I

420
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: think in some situations when it's like, you know, a

421
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: restaurant that's a cookie cutter restaurant, there's thousands of McDonald's.

422
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: Of course you're not gonna see the owner of from

423
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: you know, there's that many stories. But they've implemented something

424
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: many many moons ago that allowed their legacy to stay

425
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: on because of the way that they delivered their processes

426
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: and their procedures and their standards. And and by doing that,

427
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, it makes you great. And I know that

428
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: you're a great leader. So so tell us real quick,

429
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: you know what what do we have going on for um?

430
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: You know, what are you doing with revenue? About revenue?

431
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: What is revenue? So revenue is athlete activist cannabis brand

432
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: that was found in and started by culturally and Jim

433

Speaker 1: They love you guys. Rapp Revenue loves you guys, and

436
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: so do I. So I came across those boys at

437
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: last year's Super Bowl party, cigars with the Stars that

438
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: was hosted by Mike Dick because Rondroworski, I know this

439
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: first time I saw, y'all, I saw your big bus

440
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: parked out right out front, right making a splash, or

441
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: I bring in the cannabis game to the NFL, which

442
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: is is groundbreaking, right, absolutely groundbreaking and I'm winning. As

443
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: a guest, I went as a guest of Mike Lankford,

444
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: who's the CEO of the company, invited me to come

445
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: just check out this little thing that they had going on,

446
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: and I just stood back and watched and listen. I

447
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: really truly believe that if you're not if you don't

448
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: have the ability to be a sponge and absorb and

449
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: learn right, you're you're missing out on life. So I

450
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: just to back and watched and listen and observed. And

451
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: at the end of it, I was like, I need

452
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: to get involved. I need to be involved with this.

453
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: Uh you know it was it was really hearing Jim's

454
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: story here, Kyle's story. Yeah, spending just just a few

455
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: minutes with them, it was captivating. It was sad Now

456
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: with without getting I mean, obviously we can't speak somebody

469
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,960

Speaker 1: the NFL players, and and please revisit that furthert So,

471
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: So we had an event. We had an event um

472
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: sometime last week and so and I had the pleasure

473
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: of sitting down with Kyle Turley and Jine McMahon, which

474
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: was absolutely thrilling. Um first of all because their legend

475
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: and second of all, their story as why they got

476
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: into the creative great. So, why why did we're throwing

477
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: this event in the first place, what the mission is,

478
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: how they came upon um, you know, starting Revenant, And

479
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you wouldn't mind. I know that

480
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: sometimes some parts of the story are ours to tell,

481
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: but you're really tied in closely with them, and I

482
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: would love for you to try to reiterate that story

483
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: because it's brilliant, absolutely, And listen, I'm only going to

484
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: reiterate the parts that I know that they're very comfortable

485
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: having shared. You know, I am one who does say,

486
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, certain people, it's a their story to tell.

487
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: But these boys are vocal about this, right. Uh. What

488
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: brought them to Revenue, what brought the brand out? Right

489
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: Revenue rising up from the dead, That's what it means,

490
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: Right will take your life back? Is because they had to.

491
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: They had to. They were forced into that. They both

492
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: of them had gone so far down a path of

493
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: painkillers and opioids and taking things to that were truly

494
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: only masking the pain that they had had from playing

495
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: the game. Even while they were playing right that they

496
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: were trying to find it just a different way of

497
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: going about It's something healthier, right, And I can't sit

498
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: here and speak to how cannabis is a healing agent.

499
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I'm not the person articulate that.

500
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: But what I can say is I've watched them for

501
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: the past year and I know for sure that both

502
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: those boys, both Jim and Kyle, who who were taking

503
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: just a bucket load of pills daily just to it

504
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: through the day, now take none. Yeah, you know, they

505
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: take none, which is not an easy task because we

506
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: know it's some of the most addicting and quite frankly,

507
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: opioids are the number one killing of white males in

508
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: our in our country, absolutely, and so you know somebody

509
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: that is an athlete that truly actually needs it, probably

510
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: for the pain that they're in. They're running on these

511
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 1: these drugs for probably many years while they're in the NFL,

512
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: and then for them to come out of that and

513
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: then say that cannabis, if I'm not mistaken, was what

514
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: saved their lives. Absolutely, And like they believe that they're

515
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: they're living it. They are they are living it. They

516
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: don't only believe they are living it. And I've seen it.

517
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: H Kyle Turley, who couldn't even get out of bed

518
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: right now. You walk around there's days where you look

519
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: at Kylie like you could play them all right, you

520
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: can go suit up and play. It's it's unbelievable. That's

521
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: the transformation from coming from where they worked where they

522
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: are and utilizing, uh, utilizing cannabis right as that healing agent.

523
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: You're right, because I mean, at the end of the day,

524
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: we all know if you're taking a whip your ways

525
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: you for taking pain killers, it's not healing you. It's

526
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: masking the pain. It might get you back on the field, right,

527
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: it might get you back out to play, to to

528
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: support the brand, right, but it's not doing anything to

529
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: make you better. You know what what your your mices off?

530
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: So you're you're battery just died probably just um you know,

531
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: so so you know, one of the thoughts I have,

532
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, is is you know do they have when

533
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: they exit the NFL. Is there any kind of uh

534
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: um you know, uh offering for them to go through

535
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: some sort of rehab or some sort of do they

536
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: offer that? Is it just goodbye? You know, hello, goodbye

537
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: and thank you well. I do believe that things have

538
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: gotten a little bit better, as far as I can't

539
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: speak to that in in regards to hey, I know

540
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: you've been taking pain killers for the past seven years, right,

541
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: I can't say that they're putting them through some type

542
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: of program to help them come down off of that.

543
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's documented stories out there Brett far

544
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: but to check himself in, right, he did that on

545
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: his own, huge, huge, right. I mean that's Brett five,

546
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: I mean, one of the best of all times. And

547
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit there and and and not. I mean

548
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: there's no way that you you being on the sideline

549
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: of that and saying I don't recognize Brett has a

550
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: problem right now, right, No, Bret's got a serious problem.

551
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: Instead of them stopping and maybe they did, you know,

552
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: we don't know, we don't know. You know, I'm not

553
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: going for a for efer and say, you know, hopefully

554
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: they did, but you might think that, man, you know, um,

555
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: they didn't. You know, someone didn't didn't say hey you

556
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: gotta stop, you need help, you stop and you or

557
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: maybe hey you need help, but you're stopping and we're

558
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 1: getting you helping. Absolutely, we're locking your ass up, absolutely, man.

559
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: And you hope that it's not because you still need

560
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: to be on the product on the field. You hope

561
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: that's what's that's not that, right, But I you know,

562
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: what I'll not considering speculating by at the end of

563
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: the day. Uh. That's what resonated with me and brought

564
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: me here to this point to have the opportunity to

565
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 1: work with Kyle and Jim and help get their message

566
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: out there and help build their brand and and help

567
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: to do the things necessary uh for everyone to hear

568
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: this story and to understand what am for them. You

569
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: know they they you know these uh you know these

570
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: uh boys are I feel standing on the top of

571
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: the mountains screaming it out loud and proud. And I

572
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: think there's many professionals that um have have heard their

573
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: message that have changed their views on what it is

574
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: to have cannabis in their lives because you know, right now,

575
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: it's not on the menu for your for your you know,

576
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: uh doctors to prescribe and and it's I think it's unfortunate.

577
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: I think it should be on the menu, and it

578
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be your last choice. It should be your first choice. Absolutely,

579
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's me, it's a product, and at the

580
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: end of the day, at least making a choice, right,

581
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: It's okay to bring up up, well, you're not live, Yeah, no,

582
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: you're not like hold on, just pause, Okay, okay, going again,

583
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: so just pick right back up when he left off.

584
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: We'll edit that part up. So if I, if I

585
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: may visit for a second, the ability for players to

586
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: consume cannabis. So from why understanding it's not on the

587
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: board right now and others athletic um uh, the n

588
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: B A um, the the I believe, I believe even

589
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, they can all they're they're not well, they're

590
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: not testing, not testing, right, So what is it that's

591
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: prohibiting the NFL from allowing cannabis consumption amongst players of

592
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: the NFL? Zero exactly right, And no, actually there's not zero.

593
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: It's called Big Pharma, that's really exactly. And the reason

594
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 1: it's Big Farm is because they are probably one of

595
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: the leading advertisers with the NFL and some of these

596
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: majors you know, and not all of them. And if

597
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: you notice some of these ones that have switched over

598
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, um you know. Well, I have always got

599
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, the most contact board of all things is football,

600
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: UFC things of that. Absolutely, I have a very funny

601
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know if it's coincidence. It might be,

602
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: it might not be, though, But I did a little

603
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: bit of research when I was writing an art the

604
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: article for the grid Iron Greats um article in Cannabistock magazine,

605
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: And one of the things that I found is that Bear,

606
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, became

607
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: a a one of the major brand sponsors for the NFL.

608
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: In that's interesting, very interesting, would you explain to us

609
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: P ninety three years? So that is what the great

610
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Aren't Greats charity is built on. It's it's there to

611
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: support all the players who played before. These are guys

612
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: who didn't have the support that your modern day players

613
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: have in the in the way of retirement pension, medical

614
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: benefits when they left the game. When they left the game,

615
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: they could have played five years or fifteen years. Some

616
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: of these boys were making three a month. That was

617
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: their entire pension. That doesn't include anything medical. But it's

618
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: great exposure. Oh my good, it's come on, right. But

619
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: the crazy, it's not even the crazy part, because you

620
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: do think because you love for your love of it

621
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: and your passion of it. Right, you mentioned firefighters don't

622
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: make a lot of money. You don't do it for

623
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: the money. You do it for the love of what

624
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: you're doing. Yet you can't pay your medical bills. That's different.

625
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: What what are you going to do now? So here

626
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: you have the NFL at the time still making billions

627
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: of dollars, but the players once they were gone. It

628
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: was like, and here's something else that I found really interesting,

629
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: and this is incredible to me. So I thought that

630
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: going into this, when I first started doing other search

631
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: that it was the pre ninety three Ears that weren't

632
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: getting the pension and the medical attention and all these things.

633
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: After doing a little bit more research and talking to

634
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Kyle and Jim, Um found out that there are if

635
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: you haven't gone through four years and first game, you

636
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: don't get pension or medical or any kind of retirement.

637
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: You don't get a four one K you get nothing.

638
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: But then I and then even more interestingly, the average

639
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: player only stays with the NFL three and a half

640
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: years because they get injured. So if you get injured

641
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: within the first you know, at like the average player

642
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: in in three and a half years, which is normal,

643
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: you get injured within the first three and a half years,

644
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: you get no benefits, so you're out on leave because

645
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: you're you're hurt. But you don't get any any you know.

646
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: So at first I was thinking years, right, I was

647
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: thinking it was the pre ninety three years that were

648
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: really you know, um the main focus here. But not

649
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: much has changed. Yeah, yeah, it's changed for the guys

650
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: who made it make it to that fourth right and

651
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: change for them. But for the guys can make it

652
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: and be like, oh I got the boy. You make

653
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: sure I'm taking care of doubt if you want to

654
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: play easy and kind of stay bench as much as

655
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: possible and try to not so that you can. But

656
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: then who's to say they're going to renew your contract

657
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: and that's not in these boys DNA. Then you're trying

658
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: to make you're trying to become a star, and you first,

659
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: you first get a contract. You're trying to be a star.

660
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna go your hardest. You're gonna try to put

661
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: on a show for the for the folks watching. Of course,

662
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna play your hardest. You're not going to take

663
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: it easy so you get your benefits. You're working as

664
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: hard as you can to make it on the field.

665
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: That's it, right, Yeah, not speaking of Revenante, what what
