Yeah, that's like, that's really weird. It's 72 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 3: very weird. This is weird to me. I don't have 73 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: green rooms and stuff. Come from a construction family, which 74 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: I'm very proud of, but I don't have green rooms. 75 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 3: You don't have events, you don't have people wanting to 76 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: take pictures with you. It's like I'm watching it too. 77 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: People don't believe me when I say that, but it is. 78 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 3: It's weird.

There are a lot 83 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: of people that were an FMDJ. They were a TV personality, 84 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: and nothing against them. They're very good at presenting on TV. 85 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: Although I think you're phenomenal. But I think the thing 86 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: that makes you special is there's an authenticity. 87 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: You're a real person. 88 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: People can imagine you. You're one of them. You know, 89 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: in poor towns, the preacher would wear the nicest suit 90 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: and have the nicest car. You're a guy who came 91 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: from everyday people and launched and I think that's really awesome. 92 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: For people. 93 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: You know you went in the Marines. Who did that? Right, 94 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: You've had this experience, you sold our vs and you 95 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: embrace that. 96 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: Right. 97 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: You love long John Silvers, I love that. I mean 98 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: you love red lobster. I love that. And I think 99 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: people I think that resonates. 100 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: With people well about what we do that You told 101 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: me this when you were mentoring me and teaching me 102 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: how to do this. We learn about how intimate radio is. 103 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: At radio or podcasting, whicheveryone you want to put every 104 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: radio shows podcast and now, but when you have when 105 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: it's the spoken word, when it's audio. Again, this is 106 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: what you taught me. You do it with people, and 107 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: people watch me do TV. Because I have a TV 108 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 3: show where everyone's watching this right now on the first. 109 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: It's a different way to consume media. You sit back 110 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: and you watch it. When it comes to radio. I 111 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 3: am in your car with you, I am making dinner 112 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: with you, I am working out with you, I am 113 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: at your job. I'm sitting at your desk and because 114 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: you're doing your day with me. Whereas when people are 115 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 3: watching this right now on the amazing first TV, you 116 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: were sitting in front of your iPad or your television 117 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: or wherever you're watching and you're watching it. But you 118 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: can't lie if you're on the radio for three hours 119 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: a day. If you are fake, people are not stupid. 120 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: They will sniff it out in a heartbeat. They will 121 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: smell it in a million miles. I can't pretend to 122 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: be educated. I'm not. I can't pretend to not like 123 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: things like waffle House and red Lobster. That's who I am, 124 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: It's what I love, it's what I enjoy. I can't 125 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: if I pretended, people would know, so you might as 126 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 3: well not. 127 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: Bop our ceo who we both work at a company, 128 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: that he's the umbrella. Bob Pittman, who is the founder 129 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: of MTV, says that we are your companion, at least 130 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: on your radio. 131 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: Side, your TV side. 132 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 2: And I love watching the show because I get to 133 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: see you in kind of a different way, because now 134 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: you get to use the visuals and all that. You 135 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: don't have to tell the story quite so much. Now 136 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: you can emote in a way you can't on the radio. 137 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: You can show your reaction to a video. And I 138 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: think I got to tell you and I'm not blowing 139 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: you up because I'll knock you around as well. And 140 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: you know this, but I can't believe. And I'm not 141 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: good at TV. I've never been good at TV, so 142 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: why I don't do it? You are so good on TV, 143 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: not having come up through the ranks, not having been coached, 144 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: not having been and that, to me is one of 145 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: the anomalies about you. I've never seen somebody that's so 146 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: good on TV on day one. It's incredible. 147 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: Well. I like talking with my hands when I talk 148 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: to people, and I like expressing things, and I appreciate 149 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: the radio aspect where you have to describe it, but 150 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: I like being able to make a facial expression like 151 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 3: right now. I like being able to roll my eyes 152 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: or laugh or or grab my head or I enjoy 153 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: I don't know, does that sound lame? It almost sounds theatrical, 154 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: But I enjoy that part of it. I think it 155 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: helps bring everything alive. 156 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: Well, that's the laugh track, right We're seeing how you're reacting, 157 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: and sometimes I'm like, yeah, I agree with that. I 158 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: absolutely agree with that. What worries you most about the 159 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: future of this country right now? 160 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: Things are so poisoned at the top, it's so corrupted's 161 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: so criminal at the time, and we already know that 162 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: we get that.

What concerns me is 167 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: the number of people who will wake up in time 168 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: to stop it, because we completely have the power to 169 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: stop this. We really do. People don't think so because 170 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 3: you feel surrounded and you watch the news and it's 171 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: just problems here and problems there and problems there. We 172 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: really do. We have the power, We have the numbers. 173 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 3: People do not know this. I'll probably end up saying 174 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: this tonight, but they're afraid of us. The government is 175 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: deathly afraid of us. You think you're afraid of them. 176 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: They are afraid. The media is afraid. They are afraid 177 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: the people will wake up and rise up and reject them. 178 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: And we have the power to do that if we 179 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: will wake up in time. And I'm also concerned, to 180 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 3: be honest, I know this is gonna get a little dark. 181 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: I'm concerned about a terrible event gutting people and holding 182 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: the movement back. Now that terrible event, everyone knows what 183 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 3: I'm talking about. Right off the bat, I'm worried they're 184 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: gonna kill Donald Trump. I believe they will because corrupt, 185 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: evil systems kill people who challenge them. That's just the 186 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 3: history of the world. But let's say it's not that. 187 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: What if it's just a loss in November. Everyone thinks 188 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is gonna lose. She's a moron. They want 189 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: to vote for that. Everyone's done with it? Everyone? What 190 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: if she does? What if it's cheating? What if it's 191 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: not Who knows? Are all the people who are energized 192 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: and rising up right now? Yeah, we're all gonna be 193 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: drowning our sorrows that night. But are people just gonna 194 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: say screw it and walk away? Because if that happens, 195 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: we're done. If that happens, we have a dark, ugly, 196 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: evil future ahead of us if people stay involved. If 197 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 3: people get involved, we do not. It's just that simple. 198 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 3: We will not be determined by Trump or one race 199 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,359 Speaker 3: or the House or the Senate. Do the people canntinue 200 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: to rise up and get involved. If they do, we're fine. 201 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 3: If not, rescut That's what worries me because I don't know. 202 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: I don't know which way that's going to go. I 203 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 3: don't know. Historically, sometimes they do rise up and sometimes 204 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: they just go meekly into the goolegs. 205 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: You and I talk off air often about things, and 206 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: it's almost never politics. It's interesting for me because I 207 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: follow you on Twitter. You write things and I think 208 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 2: that's exactly how I feel, and we haven't talked about that. 209 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: He just put it better than I would, and it's 210 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 2: shocking to me. I've literally never seen an opinion of 211 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: yours that you posted, and your opinions are out there 212 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: and I go, gosh, I agree with him one hundred 213 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 2: percent of the time. But people will say, what do 214 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: you and Jesse talk about? And I'll say, we talk 215 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: about our families. We talk about what's going on our 216 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: personal lives. We talk about which part of our bodi's 217 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: falling apart because we're not as young as we used 218 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: to be. When you talk about being a father, which 219 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: you don't talk as much about that on the air 220 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: as I think you should, how are you different as 221 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: a father talking to the nation every night about and 222 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: every day about what's going on in this country? Because 223 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: I'm different, I know, how are you different? 224 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: I don't think I am and if anything, it can 225 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: come off I know it can. She'll, she'll, She'll say 226 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: to me, it can come off as very direct and harsh. 227 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 3: But my boys are at the age where, well even 228 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: when they were younger, I just don't sugarcoat things for them. 229 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: If they came home one day in class or from 230 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 3: school and their teacher told them that FDR was the 231 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 3: greatest president ever, I will not dance around it. Your 232 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: teacher is an idiot, and FDR was a scumbag communist 233 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 3: and I can't stand him. So it doesn't mean you 234 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: get in trouble in class. You keep your mouth shut, 235 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: but your teacher doesn't know what the hecker they're talking about. 236 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: And I don't know that that's the right way. I 237 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: certainly don't think I'm Father of the Year, but I 238 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: will tell you my sons I've met your son's in 239 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: the same way. But my sons are very much prepared 240 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: for when they hear crap. They can sniff it a 241 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: mile away now because of how we've raised them, how 242 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: we've been There's a new there's a Disney movie coming out. 243 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: I don't know what the stupid thing is. Some robots 244 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: running through the forest with animals and crap. Everyone's probably 245 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 3: seen the advertisers anywhere, And immediately we were at the movies, 246 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: I forget what we were going to see. My youngest 247 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: he's not even the political one. My oldest is. He 248 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: looks at me and he says, you know, that's just 249 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 3: gonna be a bunch of climate change propaganda. That's my boy, right. 250 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 3: They and if you teach them how to sniff out 251 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: all the garbage when you're in a system of lies, 252 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: when everything on the TV is a lie, and every 253 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 3: movie is a propaganda piece, and everything's a lie, if 254 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: you teach them how to see that instead of what 255 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: every individual story is, then they pick up on it 256 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: so fast. It makes me so proud. When they pick 257 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 3: up on it before, I don't have to say anything 258 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 3: because I know I'm prepping them to enter a world 259 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 3: of lies. That's the world we live in now. 260 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: And if parents had been parents, then the young voters, 261 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: especially today, wouldn't be making the mistakes they were. 262 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 3: Well were. There was this law that is a very 263 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: understandable law. With the previous generation's previous generation or two. 264 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: They had been raised in a normal country, and they'd 265 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: been raised by normal parents, and the rot and corruption 266 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 3: and evil at the top was not broadcast every day 267 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: on the news. It wasn't nearly as evident. You had 268 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: little glimpses of this, and that it wasn't breaking news 269 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: that LBJ was a corrupt piece of trash. You started 270 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: an entire war over These things are known. It's not 271 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 3: like they were completely like lost. But you didn't know 272 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: that you had to teach your kids to wake up 273 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 3: and be be activists. You didn't know that you can't 274 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: raise your kids. Why we don't talk politics. You can't do. 275 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: It's not an option anymore. If you send your kids 276 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 3: out there, they're gonna get eaten alive by the wolves 277 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: in the society like that. You better prep them now. 278 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 3: But that generation didn't know because they weren't trying to 279 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 3: blow the Republican nominees head off and chop kids' penises off. 280 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: When my parents were raising it just didn't work out 281 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: that much. 282 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: So Saturday, we're chatting and I said, come over, I 283 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 2: smoke cigars. You don't, but let's have some bourbons and 284 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 2: catch up on things and celebrate and enjoy some good fellowship. 285 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 2: And you said, I'm at a cross country track meet 286 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 2: out in the sun while everybody else in America's watching 287 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: college football and enjoying themselves. But I got to tell you, 288 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: I think those experiences connect us to real Americans because 289 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 2: you and I both know that Kamala Harris is not 290 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: a real American. Her husband is not a real American. 291 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's this is not They do not live the 292 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: lives that real Americans live. You need to be at 293 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: that cross country meet, which is why you're there. You 294 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: need to be out there in the sun. You need 295 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: to be spending four hours to watch your kid run 296 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,359 Speaker 2: for ten minutes. And I think that helps us understand 297 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: what people are going through. Because you've been hanging out 298 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: with Tucker crosson tonight, it's very easy to get alienated 299 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 2: from the people sitting in those seats and the lives 300 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: they're leading, and to communicate with those people. And I 301 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: think that's an important part of what we do that 302 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: we tend to take for granted. 303 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 3: We do take it for granted. And as soon as 304 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: you start, as soon as you start making some money, 305 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: right you get you get the successful enough of media, 306 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: you're gonna start making good money. People aren't naive. They 307 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: know you're making good money. You can quickly price yourself 308 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: out of experiencing with other people, experience at all. No, No, 309 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: I'm not going to I'm not going to cross across 310 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: countries an hour and a half away. I want to 311 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 3: sleep in. You know what, send that we don't have 312 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: a nanny, but send the nanny with the kids, and 313 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: you can. You can. You can use your money to 314 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: price yourself out of the way everyday people live. So 315 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: you're never in the grocery store sticker shocked at the 316 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: price of beef. You're never at a cross country tournament, 317 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: rotting and miserable heat with all the other parents because 318 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 3: your kid doesn't race again for another two hours. It's 319 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 3: just you never. You don't if you didn't, and if 320 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: you do that, you're done. If you lose connection to people, 321 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 3: you're done. 322 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: If you like the Michael Berry Show and podcast, please 323 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: tell one friend, and if you're so inclined, write a 324 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: nice review of our podcast.
