Let me let me say something on that. 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: It is true though. Clay always he likes to he 187 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: likes to be the one. And we've got one of 188 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: our kids is like this too. They always like to 189 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: be the one that drops the punchline. And he always 190 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: he always thinks that he drops the punchline better than me, 191 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: and he definitely gets there faster. But it's he likes to. 192 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: Uh well, actually he doesn't. Did y'all hear how long 193 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: we had?

Yeah, buddy, 201 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: you'd let me know if your memal I retreated you 202 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: like this? Uh same. So there will be this incredible 203 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: story that should take five to seven minutes and have 204 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: some enthralling content inside of that, and the punch line 205 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: is and then the turkey flew off this example punch line, Um, 206 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna he's looking right at There are people 207 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: that sometimes will tell this incredible story. It's this moment 208 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: that you have with this people, and they might be like, yeah, 209 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: they went hunting and then the turkey flew off pause 210 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: and then no. No, I'm always rushing to get to 211 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: the to the punch line because i know I'm going 212 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: to be interrupted. If i don't get there, I'm not 213 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: getting it. So I've got to get there pretty fast, 214 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: just just on a podcast or just suppers. And there's 215 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: there's certain contexts that it comes out more and and 216 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate Clays trying to keep things on, you know, 217 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: in a row in the podcast. So so I'll allow it. 218 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: But but also I've noticed that when we are when 219 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: we're with my family going often I'm not kidding, my 220 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: family is like a high interruption. There's a lot of learned. 221 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: If you're gonna talk about it, you better get it in. 222 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: If they've been around people like that. I've heard people 223 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: that tell the fol stories like out a way, Yeah, 224 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: But I guess what you're saying is you don't want 225 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: to start the story like, hey, you want to hear 226 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: about the time the turkey flew off, and then you 227 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: go into your story and you're done told everything like, 228 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: you gotta build it up. You gotta keep people caring 229 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: about what you're doing. I do that all the time. Yeah, 230 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: I did that all the time. Whether I can buy ramping, 231 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: doing cannonballs at the city pool, trying to catch a 232 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: turkey salmon, I mean, all those kind of things. You 233 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: gotta figure out how you're going to let people know 234 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: that they wish they should have been there, you know 235 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, hey, I know. Do you 236 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: have I heard a story one time you told about crow?

Uh when first of all, they like to 239 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: eat food. Everybody knows that, just like any animal, they 240 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: eat food. That's how that go. You know, they ain't 241 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: made out of play though, they animal, so that's how. 242 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: So anyway, it's Candy Roy. She little girl on the 243 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: trailer park. She knocked on my door. I don't know 244 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: how she had a full adult grow growed crow adult 245 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: Uh like gets away both little hands.

So 258 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: I came up with an idea. But the thing about 259 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: it is dim crows.

Well, 297 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm like a salmon. Imagine your mind's eye if you're 298 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: a listener at home, because the podcast for your ears, 299 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: so they're listening.

So I mean, if you 307 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: ever catch one, I hope you get it mounted in 308 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: here with these other animals, because I ain't been able 309 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: to catch the turkeys. Uh, I've never seen one tavern, 310 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: but I'll be looking out for him. Yeah. Hey, uh, 311 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: let me know if you have any insight into this. 312 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: This is a this is a a real, a live 313 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: deal that do you remember the radio show back in 314 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: back in our hometown where every morning they would just 315 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: sell stuff. People would call in and sell stuff like 316 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: a swap shop dilla trade, Like it's pretty common. We're 317 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: gonna start a new section on the Burgrease render of 318 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: like a Dillar trade essentially, and I'm gonna be the 319 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: first guy. I have something that I legitimately want to sell. Okay, 320 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: And this may be a little bit of a whip 321 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: lash from maybe what you've heard me talk about from 322 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: last week. Um, do you remember I talked about the 323 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: mule banjo last week? That last render I went into 324 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: detail of all he's done. So it's a long, complicated story. 325 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: And for people that don't have mules or equon animals, 326 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: don't even pretend to have, think that you have an 327 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: appropriate level of empathy for a man in my position? Okay? 328 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: Is that fair? I mean, like, if you don't have 329 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: a mule, oh, you don't know what I'm going through. 330 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: You're just guessing. You're doing that's it, You're just guessing. Well, 331 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: my friend Ty Evans T. S. Mules answered on his 332 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: podcast T. S Mules podcast about what I should do 333 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: to fix Banjo, and he gave a great answer, and 334 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: it was I mean, it's like as good answer as 335 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: could have been given, you know, and uh, I, I 336 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: just don't know. Did I can do it? And Dad, 337 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: last time, when I told Banjo's bucked me off twice, 338 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: he's kicked me once. I came across a picture and 339 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: I can't show it because it shows some delicate parts 340 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: of a man's body high on the outside right thigh, okay, 341 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: and there was a big black spot about as big 342 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: as a baseball right there on on my leg where 343 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: he kicked me. So Dad said, last time, you were like, 344 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: answer is easy, sell it. And then I was like, nah, man, 345 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a good mule. This is gonna 346 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: work out. I can work through this. And then this 347 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: week I go to meet a man that was on 348 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: the former Barony Magazine podcast named Lloyd Holly. Lloyd is 349 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: an older gentleman in his seventies and basically made a 350 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: living for thirty five years in the Mule Business had 351 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: a mule farm called Hollywood Mule Farm. Oh yeah, you 352 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: did a podcast podcast with Lloyd Holly. I was with 353 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: Lloyd Holly this week. We were looking at my friend 354 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: Michael Lanier, who's considered buying a mule. Me and Mr 355 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: Lloyd Holly are sitting there watching Michael Lanier ride this 356 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: really nice mule around, and I begin to tell Lloyd 357 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: Holly about my situation. And there's something I like about 358 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: people when and it's not always right, and you can't 359 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: always trust this type of advice, but I like the 360 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: certainty of it. And sometimes this type of certainty just 361 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: captures you and you're just like, yeah, that's the right answer. 362 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: I like. Given the extended version of Banjo's progress, and 363 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: I go, what do I do? Mr Lloyd And I 364 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: expected him to go, well, Clay, you're probably gonna need 365 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: to do this. You're gonna need to do this this 366 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: He said, sell it. Wow, that's what your dad? What 367 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: do you think think about that mule? I mean, once 368 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: I get kicked in the upper thigh with a big 369 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: old bone bruise and your pet probably had deep bone bruise, 370 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: I'd be I'd probably be done trying to write that thing, 371 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: especially that ain't the first time, right, yeah, yeah, Well, 372 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: I mean if it was one of your children, you 373 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: hang on to him a little while, or maybe they're 374 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: getting close to being raised and out the house. I 375 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: don't know. You can't set up mule free like that, 376 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: like go to college kind of thing. So oh, I 377 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: thought you were saying if it had kicked one of 378 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: my kids. You know, I'm saying, like, if you got 379 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: a child that's giving you trouble. You don't quit on 380 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: a child, but you might quit on the mule. Boy, 381 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: I see it. I don't know, though I ain't met 382 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: this band Jim speak, so that that's reflection of a 383 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: man's internal character. I don't think. So, well, what do 384 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: you need that mule for? For? Lots of stuff? Taba? 385 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: Does it do that stuff you need it for? No, 386 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: So you say, so it ain't old. This is a 387 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: juvenile he's going through Okay, he's going through a rebellious 388 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: stage exactly. Well, you just hope he comes out on 389 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: the other side, because if he get into some of 390 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: them extracurricular things teenagers get into, he may be no 391 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: good for you later down the road. I don't know. 392 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what mules get into when they rebellious. 393 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: But if they're kicking me like that, they're powerful. I 394 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: know that that could have broke your leg. But that 395 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: being said, uh, this is a nice mule. Um, so 396 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: he is now officially for sale, like for real for sale. 397 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know how you can contact me 398 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: if you'd like to purchase this mule, but I want 399 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: to say he's for sale, not on sale.

He has white socks, 402 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: which it makes him a flashy mule. He's right at 403 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: fifteen maybe a little bit over fifteen hands. He's been 404 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: packed on quite a bit, Like you could take this 405 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: animal and use this pack mule today. And I've written 406 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: him twelve or fifteen times. It sounds like Brent wants 407 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: to buy him. No, Brent's a mule poor right now. 408 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm good. So it's a beautiful animal. I just don't 409 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: know that I can get him over the hump.

I guess it matters what they had. 415 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: Let's let's just think about that for a second. What 416 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: trade would would be worth Banjo a new Chevy Chevy 417 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: Silverado'll pick up?

This week. 513 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: I was with my friend Lee and Hatty Walt down 514 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: in down where they live, and uh, Lee points to 515 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: an oar a boat or I'll give you a prize 516 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: of some sort, okay if you know the answer to 517 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: this question. It's a trivia question. Boat or and on 518 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: the boat? Or is a black panther straight up black 519 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: panther on the wide part of the boat? Or? And 520 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: uh Lee clicks on the television and a movie comes 521 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: on and he says, I want to show you a 522 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 1: movie clip because I asked him about the boat, or like, 523 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: tell me about the black panther on the ore? And 524 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: there is a movie and it's a scene where these 525 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: two guys, these two old guys, are in like a 526 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: public place inside of a building, and this one old 527 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: guy is trying to prove that this other old guy 528 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: doesn't know his stuff, you know. And so the one 529 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: old guy goes, well, I bet you I can stump you. 530 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: What is that? What does that mean? And he points 531 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: to an oar with a black panther and he goes 532 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: he the question is what is on the other side 533 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: of the ore? And the man goes a rabbit smoking 534 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: a pipe with me, do you know what movie this is? Okay? 535 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: He takes the oar off the wall. There's a black 536 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: panther on one side. He flips it and sure enough 537 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: it's a rabbit smoking a pipe. And the guy that 538 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: didn't think the guy would know it was like, oh really, 539 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: but do you know why the rabbit smoking the pipe? 540 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: And the guy says, the rabbit is at ease because 541 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: he knows he's smarter than the panther. Punchline and it 542 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: was a native It was some type of indigenous or 543 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: Native American like thing.

What about her? Where 564 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 1: was she? Oh, I'm not trying to. I mean, we 565 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: could take this outside. You look pretty word, you know, 566 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: I am a little worm scrappy too. Did your mama 567 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: ever see a black panther? No mema memo. I don't 568 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: even like to talk about animals. Yeah, you know. I 569 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: think it's because she had a pet raccoon years ago 570 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: and she don't know what happened to it, and she 571 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, you get attached to something and then it disappears. 572 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: Although she do have a great score right now. She 573 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: wants to build a kennel four and she don't know 574 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: how to be like, I'm in charge of that, and 575 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: she wanted she she want to make that thing at home, 576 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's a squirrel mema. But she got 577 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: her own plans. So but she Ain't never told anything 578 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: about seeing a black panther. Really, no, she never seen that. See, 579 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: I would say sixty five of women over the age 580 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: of seventy that live in certain parts of the country, 581 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: we'll just say I have seen a black panther. Those 582 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: are hard hitting statistics that she throw it out. Yeah, 583 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: so I'm surprised that your mama doesn't fit in that 584 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: based on what I know about static. Yeah, six a 585 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: seventy year old women in a certain region have seen Okay, 586 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: I got it. Yeah, you didn't talk to me while 587 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: about black panthers, did I guarantee? Is she's holding out 588 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: on you? She might be. She she liked to save 589 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: that for parties and stuff. I guess. Yeah. So the 590 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: rabbit the panther, pretty cool. Okay. The second black panther 591 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,239 Speaker 1: data point was this very weak. A man sent me 592 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: a a an actual flag of an of a a 593 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: Native American tribe. It was the national flag. I mean, 594 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're sovereign nations of indigenous people inside 595 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: this country, and they have flags. It's like an American flag. 596 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: They have this kind of flag, and uh, there is 597 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: a flag that has a black panther on it. Straight 598 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: up black panther. But the more I dug into it, 599 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: the more I realized that they weren't necessarily saying that 600 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: they were black panthers. Just the graphic of it had 601 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: to be black, m because it couldn't be. It's their 602 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: favorite color maybe, uh, And so it was. It was 603 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: supposed to be a cougar, not necessarily a black one, 604 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: but it was black. You're with me? Okay? Great?

Most people are pretty cool about it. 672 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: Have you ever run into someone who thought who is 673 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: happy to see Tavin and then found out you mean 674 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: in person or online? No? Online, Um, it's happened where 675 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: there's there's sincere disappointment. I ran into a lady last 676 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: year in a restaurant in Arkansas and she saw me, 677 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: and for some reason in my head, I'm like, I 678 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: don't look like having So I go into a play 679 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: and she's like, you're you're you're Tavin and but she 680 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: was okay that I didn't, you know, I wasn't really 681 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: like I was a character. Was a little disappointed when 682 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: I met you, just a little bit. I could tell. 683 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: I could tell when you made me riding the bed 684 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: of your truck. And when I saw what what white 685 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: straight teeth you have? I was like, come on, I 686 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,479 Speaker 1: mean because Tavin, that's Tavin's signature, is like the rough, 687 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: the rough teeth. And that's one thing Tavin never talks 688 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: about his teeth because it's too obvious that he never 689 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: really talks about the dentist or brushing teeth because it 690 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: seems like too obvious of a joke to make.

A matter of fact, 729 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: when Alexis and I came up a couple of months 730 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: or so ago, You're like, hey, y'all, come up, stay, 731 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: but we're watching the basketball game. You come watch it, 732 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: or you can go off and do your own thing. 733 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: And you know it worked out good. You know, we 734 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: all went out because the basketball thing was over early. 735 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: But but I've known you guys like basketball and the ship. 736 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 1: Would you anticipate by my looks that I'm as as 737 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: good a baller as I am?

Let's just every time Clay cuts me off, 744 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: let's remember that. But Clay actually will go and play basketball, 745 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: and he's he is. He does run and stuff, and 746 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: so he can. He's got stamina. And it's kind of 747 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: funny because you could tell he chef loves pick up basketball, 748 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: and so sometimes we'll go places and do pick up 749 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: basketball with him, and Clay will go out there and play. 750 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: It's kind of a you know, scrappy. That might be 751 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: a nice way to say. He does not look like 752 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: a basketball uh champion, but but he gets out there 753 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: and he can. He can, he can stay with people 754 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: and he can. He's real. Uh, it's kind of fun 755 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: that I played pick up ball. I don't know you 756 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: should tell this story. Yeah, let's just say I was 757 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: the old guy and there was a group of young 758 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: men playing ball, and I was in jeans and boots, 759 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: not cowboy boots, but like hiking boots, and and let's 760 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: just say some things didn't go so well for them 761 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: for the and and they got mad. He got mad 762 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: at me, and I later came and apologized to him. 763 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: A young guy when that afternoon and we realized claim 764 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: smoke to thirteen year old and was at it true? 765 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 1: You talk to him? I did not talk about but 766 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't humble. I mean he was. It was like, 767 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: if you're going to be the old guy and you're 768 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna take these true little young teenage very humble. I 769 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: just didn't give him any slap and he got mad 770 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: at me for playing defense too tough. I did not. 771 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: I never breached my value system of what you apologize for. 772 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: Then well, actually I can't really remember the details. I 773 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: just think you were a little bit content with yourself 774 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: and you kind of felt I'm sorry everybody, do you 775 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: like point to the sky and after the store in 776 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: your face, not to him, but you know, like that. 777 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: But it was it was it was the defense was 778 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 1: just a little bit sassy. I mean it was like, 779 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: come on, these are teenage So now the whole world 780 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: knows all of my basketball highlights that one time and 781 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: that one time at Clarksville. That's all. That's all there is. 782 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: There's nothing more. So like, what did you think of 783 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 1: about Bradleyville podcast? That was good. I grew up in Dardnell, 784 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: so Clarksville is not too far from there. That's yeah, 785 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: that's right right over there. Yeah, it's good. Well, I 786 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,840 Speaker 1: mean it didn't surprise me because you dig into history 787 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: on this podcast, so I wasn't surprising. The sports thing 788 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: I thought was cool because you can think about how 789 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,919 Speaker 1: many games are played every year, year after year after year, 790 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: and people have records and teams and scores and whatever, 791 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: but they kind of get glossed over after a while 792 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: because it's like current teams usually only care about what 793 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: they're accomplishing. I mean I would know when I was 794 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: a kid, it's like, what have I done? So to 795 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: to spend time on the story, I thought it was 796 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: valuable and interesting. Well, it's it's of note that some 797 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: of those records still stand to this day, like the 798 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: sixty four game winning streak in Missouri high school basketball. 799 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: You know, leon Comb said it's tied. There was a 800 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: school that tied it and I don't know that story, 801 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 1: but that still stands. Um dad, what do you think? 802 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 1: You know? I thought the Hoosiers. I just thought, you know, 803 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: we love a good sports story. I don't care if 804 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: you're an athlete or not. I mean just everything is 805 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: entwined in that thing. I mean, life, just whatever, you 806 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 1: want to dig out of it. The story was awesome, 807 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:11,320 Speaker 1: but all of the like hidden truths in in character 808 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 1: stuff was really really amazing. You know how uh these 809 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 1: kids were coachable. You know, you gave the list of 810 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: three things, you know, I mean that that they were 811 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: they were coachable. They were ready. Uh they you know, 812 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: they did what it takes to be successful, but they 813 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: had to have some direction. They couldn't do it in 814 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: the fifties because they had no jim. They had no direction. 815 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: They get a little direction, get some backing from adults, 816 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 1: and I mean they just go crazy and that you know, 817 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: it was beyond basketball to me. Well, there were so 818 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: many stories. It was kind of like pick your story, 819 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: Like this book is full. Mr leon Komb's book is 820 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: just full of history. It's almost like brad Leeville High 821 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 1: School yearbook. You know, there's just all these pictures. He 822 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: actually has pictures of the Howardville team that they beat stage. Yeah, 823 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: and he went and interviewed those guys and he did 824 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: a great job in in in this book. But the 825 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: picture story thing I chose Leon Boyd to kind of 826 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: highlight is the one character from the team that I 827 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: just had access to. He was just up there still 828 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,320 Speaker 1: on Bradleyville. A bunch of those guys are still alive. 829 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 1: And David Combs was the hero of the nineteen sixty 830 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: eight team, which is Leon comes cousin. Um he's one 831 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,720 Speaker 1: that passed away. No, that was Darryl Paul that passed 832 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: away when but David Combs, like, there's a whole another 833 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 1: story in him. David Combs was a big time coon hunter, 834 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: just like uh Leon Boyd and the story of him 835 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: going down to Arkansas Tech because the coach was a 836 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: coon hunter, and there's pictures in the book of of 837 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: his coon dogs and him with his coon dogs, and 838 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 1: there's so many things. I actually I'm now kicking myself 839 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: because I didn't put this in the in the podcast, 840 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:16,280 Speaker 1: But there was a quote in the book about Leon Boyd. 841 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 1: It said when he went down a hill in the 842 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: Ozarks going to his dogs, it looked like a falling 843 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: star shooting down off the mountain because he was so 844 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: fast going to his dogs. He was And that's the 845 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: old man that we hunted with me and Shepherd and 846 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 1: uh Man, I just I just can't get enough of 847 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 1: these older guys. Man Leon Boyd, the last person on 848 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: the planet that he expected to show up to his house. 849 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: Was somebody wanting to put him on a podcast. I mean, 850 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: like literally, this guy, I mean he has a flip phone, 851 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,959 Speaker 1: he doesn't like I don't know if he's ever listened 852 00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 1: to a podcast, and he his humility. I said it, 853 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,799 Speaker 1: and I hope, I hope it made sense. But it's 854 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: like it protruded from him with great force. That's the 855 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: way I described it. It's just like you're around him 856 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: and you're just like, this guy, it's just so humble, 857 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: He's so uh. I don't you know, you meet some 858 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: people that like, that's not the way you describe him, 859 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily bad, but you would say, man, 860 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 1: he was charismatic or he was had this or did this. 861 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: It's like Leo Boyd was just like that's what came 862 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: off of him. And a lot of folks that you've 863 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: talked to that that you that have been highlighted on 864 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 1: this thing, especially from that generation or like that, you know, 865 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: they take and I don't know if it's they take 866 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: solace in like the basketball. They enjoyed that so much, 867 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: but they were they were playing on a dirt floor, 868 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: you know, on the ground. They were shooting hoops that 869 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 1: the blacksmith made. But it it wasn't picking cotton, it 870 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: wasn't moving rocks. It was something other than that that 871 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: they could focus on. And to this day where he's 872 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: seventy eight, Yeah, he's happy and content to talk to 873 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: you about that and to go coo nothing, because it 874 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: ain't picking cotton, it ain't moving rocks, it ain't you know. 875 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: Just they're satisfied and happy to be where they are 876 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 1: in life. And it's there's a lot in that to 877 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: be in in in my world. So in my way 878 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,759 Speaker 1: of thinking, I'm being happy where you are. And if 879 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 1: you're not happy to do something about it, you know, 880 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm happy. Oh. I thought it was so entertaining. I 881 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,320 Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. And I listened to all but the 882 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: last five minutes of it with ship and so what 883 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: he thinks. He really enjoyed it, and he we would 884 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: pause and talk about it and it was it was 885 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: really good. And I would saying, now, which one was this? 886 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: So I kind of heard some of the stories leading 887 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,359 Speaker 1: up to this, so I kind of knew, I knew 888 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: what what was coming, but I thought it was great. 889 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: I want to I want to tell this one story 890 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,839 Speaker 1: that I want to come back to specialization verse being 891 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 1: a generalist and kind of qualify that statement, but I 892 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: gotta tell you this story, and it just didn't fit 893 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: into the podcast. But so Leon Combs eight seven years old. 894 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: He's like he was the main guy that carried us 895 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: through the podcast, and he was as sharp as attack. 896 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 1: Like a lot of times I've interviewed a lot of 897 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: older people and sometimes like they don't they've never listened 898 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,840 Speaker 1: to podcasts mode, they don't understand the medium, and and 899 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: and and man, he was just like he sit down 900 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: with me, and he was just like, tell me what 901 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,279 Speaker 1: you need. And I said, well, I'm gonna do a 902 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: podcast on this this okay? And he and and he 903 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: he was just like so on point and like he 904 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,319 Speaker 1: would say, now would this story be relevant for you? 905 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,720 Speaker 1: And I'd be like, well not really, and He's like okay. 906 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 1: And he he was just really good. But he did 907 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: tell me one story that I wasn't able to use. 908 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: But and I mean he told it for me to 909 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,400 Speaker 1: put on the podcast if I wanted to, so I 910 00:50:54,400 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: don't he wouldn't mind me telling it. But he when 911 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 1: he was a toddler, his father murdered his mother a 912 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: murder suicide and his so his mother and father passed away. 913 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 1: They ship him out to California for for whatever reason. 914 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't know the details, but he went to California 915 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: as a two year old. And then his I wanted 916 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 1: some family member back in Bradleyville, Missouri. Communicates with them 917 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 1: and this is uh in the would have been in 918 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 1: the thirties, I think when he would have been born 919 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 1: eighty seven years from right now. Um, And they the 920 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 1: family member says, will take the boy. So they send 921 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 1: him back and the mail man, the Bradleyville mail man, 922 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:49,760 Speaker 1: delivers Leon Boyd to his to the man and woman 923 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: that were related to him but would become his father 924 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 1: and mother. And and he never knew until he was 925 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: older what happened. He just it was his dad. And 926 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: he had like this wonderful, great childhood and and and 927 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: and a really stable home. They were very poor, but 928 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: they were it was a very stable home. And then 929 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: Leon Combs goes on to become like extremely financially successful. 930 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't know this man well, but I cannot. He's 931 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 1: been very let's just say he's been very, very financially 932 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 1: successful coming out of Bradleyville and he said he was 933 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,880 Speaker 1: the first kid out of Bradleyville schools that went to college, 934 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,280 Speaker 1: and he was in the military and he hitch hiked 935 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: out west and he he just had his wild story. 936 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 1: It's actually in this book right here. He gave me 937 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 1: a book. I forgot about it. Um, Okay, this isn't 938 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 1: all about his life, but it's called Bradleyville, My Hometown, 939 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 1: a collection of short stories and memoirs. But anyway, Leon 940 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 1: Leon Combs, what a guy. Yeah, and so you know, 941 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,399 Speaker 1: these are stories that you can't even tell. I mean, 942 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: it wasn't a part of the basketball thing, but couldn't be. 943 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 1: Two part series, could have been? Could have been? I 944 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: have a basketball question. Is it common to tile a jim? 945 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,399 Speaker 1: Maybe during that time? I don't know, because it seemed like, man, 946 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 1: they had to finish a halftime because they couldn't. We're slipping. 947 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 1: I was like, tile that sounds yeah back there in 948 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 1: that time, that's what they did. I don't know. Probably 949 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: a financial deal. Hardwood would have been too expensive. They 950 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: only had fifteen hundred dollars plus donations. Yeah. Yeah. Um. 951 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,319 Speaker 1: So the general idea, like basically this story introduced us 952 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: to another story that has more to do with life, 953 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,280 Speaker 1: which was so when when I first told Misty this story, 954 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 1: this is where Misty's fingerprints on Barry Grease in a 955 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: lot of ways. I told her about Bradleyville and these 956 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: guys being coon hunters, and she said, hey, you ought 957 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: to talk about David Epstein's book about specialists and generalist 958 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: And I said, great idea. And uh, we actually tried 959 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: to get David Epstein on the podcast. We had a 960 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: very short time window. So perhaps he would, I'm certain 961 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: he would. He would probably come to the render with Tavin. 962 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 1: Probably we had. It was a very short time window. 963 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: We couldn't make it happen, so I brought in the expert. Misty. Um, 964 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,319 Speaker 1: after you heard that conversation, how did do you think 965 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 1: it came out the way we wanted to? I think it. 966 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 1: I think it came out. I thought it came out great. 967 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 1: Um Sheep and I were. You know, when we listen 968 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 1: to podcasts together, we often stop him and give our 969 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: own little sub commentary. And on that part, you know, 970 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: because he would like to be a specialist, he I 971 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: think he would prefer to be, Yeah, just a mono 972 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: focused persona. It'd be easier for him to do that 973 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 1: that's that's an appealing proposition. It's just do the thing 974 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 1: you love and nothing else. Yeah, right right, I mean 975 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: that's a that's an appealing proposition. Yeah. So so we 976 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 1: were talking in sp Um. He actually went and brought 977 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: out another book when we started talking about this that 978 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 1: he was reading back in is that someone gave him 979 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 1: about skill development in basketball. And he said, y'all should 980 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 1: talk about this, and he talked about this guy was 981 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,800 Speaker 1: saying everybody should be It was like the pro specialist 982 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: argument that these guys make seventeen million dollars a year 983 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: because when people throw them the ball, they can get 984 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,359 Speaker 1: a shot off fast and always make it. And he 985 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: said this this isn't And this was a book that 986 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:27,799 Speaker 1: Chef was reading. I don't even know where he got 987 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: it from. And I was like, well, because I didn't 988 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: like the the the argument. I was like, well, I said, 989 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, that's a pretty narrow You know, they've been 990 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 1: you know what I always tell the kids, they've been 991 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 1: in three thousand people who played in the NBA their 992 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,799 Speaker 1: whole life. Get a plan B. You don't have any 993 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,400 Speaker 1: any need to think that that's genetics are against you 994 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,399 Speaker 1: on this one. We don't. We don't have the height 995 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: to play in the NBA. So anyways, so Hip, that's 996 00:55:51,239 --> 00:56:04,240 Speaker 1: not what oh boys homeless now so so anyway, so Chip, 997 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 1: but Chip said, well, he said, I don't agree with that. 998 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: He said the counter and he just volunteered this. He said, 999 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,720 Speaker 1: the counter argument on that is Lebron James gets paid, 1000 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,879 Speaker 1: and he somehow new Lebron James salary off the top 1001 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: of his head because he can get shots off. He 1002 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,440 Speaker 1: could do this, he could do that, he could and 1003 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: he named all the things that Lebron James does on 1004 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,239 Speaker 1: and off the court, and it's like a good thing 1005 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 1: in Chip, I mean, at least, I don't think that 1006 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 1: success is really should be quantified in terms of the 1007 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 1: millions of dollars that you make. But I was, I 1008 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,959 Speaker 1: was grateful. He was thinking, yeah, well, and I don't 1009 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 1: want to If if I can go back and redo 1010 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:44,280 Speaker 1: the podcast, I would probably say that I think specializing 1011 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 1: is great. I mean, we need experts. There are things 1012 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: that I have specialized in that have you know, made 1013 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 1: me an expert in the same quote unquote at some level. 1014 00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 1: And all. The only point I was making is that 1015 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:08,439 Speaker 1: sometimes these other things can make you even better then 1016 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,399 Speaker 1: if you had just specialized in it. Do you see 1017 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, I think yeah. I think 1018 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: what we would say is that it's okay to have 1019 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: a thing you're really good at like it's and and 1020 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 1: probably there should be something in everyone's life that they 1021 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 1: spent ten thousand hours on and and learn and get 1022 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 1: to get to do. But we should all be complex 1023 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 1: people like That's I think that's the most important thing 1024 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 1: on our on our end, is that a lot of 1025 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 1: times you are a specialist at the cost of all 1026 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: these other things. Where specialization does it just speak to 1027 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 1: how you spend your time, but it speaks to who 1028 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: you are. You are this thing and what we want 1029 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: to communicate to our kids is you are not a 1030 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: basketball player. You are not a smart person. You are 1031 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 1: not a musician. You are first and foremost a human being, 1032 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 1: a spiritual being, and someone that has a lot of 1033 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: complexity to them. Put those as you like, on that backdrop. 1034 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: Don't let those things be the backdrop for everything else. 1035 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,000 Speaker 1: I thought that was clear. That was a good one. 1036 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: It's not what your arts who you are. I noticed 1037 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 1: in uh in my career that you had several types 1038 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 1: of highly successful people far above where I ever accomplished. 1039 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: And some of them were great c p A s 1040 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 1: that a guy kind of like me that was a 1041 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: generalist could use. And you pull this guy in and 1042 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 1: you call him off to the side, and you go, hey, man, 1043 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 1: tell me what to do. You know, well, this guy 1044 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: is so good he ends up like owning the world. 1045 00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: But the guy that is a generalist hires people like 1046 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 1: that and pulls them in. He's got he's got all 1047 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: these specialists around him, and in a couple of them 1048 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 1: are just so sharp that all of a sudden they 1049 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 1: get up here and they kind of become generalists. But 1050 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: it's a personality thing. The crazy kid in college ends 1051 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: up with that personality where where he can sell, he 1052 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 1: can communicate, and and so you know you need both kinds. 1053 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,480 Speaker 1: Exactly what you said. Do you think I relayed your 1054 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 1: philosophy on bringing us up well on the podcast and 1055 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 1: a few sentence I talked about it, well, I thought so. 1056 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty clear. One thing that was 1057 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 1: real clear to me, though, was the spousal abuse. Still, 1058 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,440 Speaker 1: you came up with a new way for this hashtag, 1059 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 1: let misty speak. It's almost in reverse. I could not 1060 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: believe you did this man? What did juju? Here's oh no, 1061 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 1: what did I do? Okay? Here, here's what you did. 1062 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: You're you're asking, You're asking Missy a question, and the 1063 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:16,600 Speaker 1: question is why to why to rule communities like basketball 1064 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 1: so much? But before she had a chance to answer, 1065 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 1: you gave answer. You gave you gave like a tent 1066 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 1: page dissertation on it. So by the time Missy had it, 1067 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, she was real polite, and she you know, 1068 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 1: she took her ten seconds and tried to make not 1069 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 1: make you look like an abuser. And she didn't say, 1070 01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: remember I'm the one that told you all that stuff 1071 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: you just said earlier. Yeah, yeah. And what made it 1072 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: even worse once she so politely repeated a few of 1073 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: the things that you had already said because there was 1074 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: nothing else to say, said that you totally hate hey, hey, 1075 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: you totally award her answer and immediately said, I wonder 1076 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: how many kids out there if killed bear and and 1077 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,919 Speaker 1: shot a deer with But I mean, and I mean 1078 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 1: just totally this could be, this could be taken to court. 1079 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:21,959 Speaker 1: I just feel vindicated today and this is we told 1080 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: you that on my shoulder. But it was good. You 1081 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: have an awesome spouse. You have an awesome spouse. Remember 1082 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,919 Speaker 1: that crow Tabin was talking about has he taste? Yeah? 1083 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 1: My fit? Well I did it another time, and this 1084 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: was I mean, I'm aware of what's happening here. Um 1085 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: there was another time and it just was the in it. 1086 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask miss the question, but I had 1087 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 1: to put in something that that I had said. First. 1088 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: I talked for a real long time and then she 1089 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 1: got to talk. Do you know what part I'm talking about? 1090 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 1: I didn't. Maybe I could get away with that again. 1091 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 1: You know, the truth is we all do that all 1092 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: the time. I mean, it's just what we asked a question, 1093 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,960 Speaker 1: we already know the answer, we want to tell him 1094 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 1: what we think about it, and you just kind of 1095 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, but we all do exactly what you 1096 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: did at times. But anyway, I actually I did pick 1097 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: up on that while he's sticking about because I was 1098 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 1: there too. And I also what Clay cut out is 1099 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 1: when I looked at him when he asked me that question, 1100 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I said, you just answered it. She actually did. And 1101 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 1: I'm not defending myself, but um, I did answer the 1102 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: question before she got a time to starry, and she said, 1103 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: what we just said it and then she went on, 1104 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 1: so I had to cut it out. When you're building 1105 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 1: and editing a podcast and the burger shrender is supposed 1106 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 1: to be behind the scenes of burgers, there's sometimes just 1107 01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:00,080 Speaker 1: a quantity of information that has to be there, and 1108 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 1: that was all I had. It was real hard to 1109 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 1: get that audio because we're sitting there with parents and 1110 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 1: people and they we're in a basketball game, and it's like, 1111 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 1: I just had this recorder and I pulled out and 1112 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 1: I just do it real quick, and I knew what 1113 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: I needed to be said, and I wanted to include 1114 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 1: Mr In because I had told him what needed to 1115 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 1: be said earlier, like on this exact topic, not on 1116 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 1: the whole thing, but I wish were here. It worked well, 1117 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 1: Um what was uh? I was gonna ask one of 1118 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: you what what was the most Well, Okay, I'll tell 1119 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: you what my favorite part was. Every single time that 1120 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 1: I have listened to that basketball game, I don't even 1121 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 1: I don't like, I really wouldn't think that, like the 1122 01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: recording of an old basketball game, would the four overtimes? Yeah, 1123 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:05,480 Speaker 1: I would like get me emotionally stirred. I was listening 1124 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,560 Speaker 1: to it in my truck and like got cold chills, 1125 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 1: which is a rare thing for me. But I think 1126 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 1: just getting inside of this story and meeting these people 1127 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,400 Speaker 1: and going to Bradleyville, you're kind of immersed into it. 1128 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,000 Speaker 1: And you meet Leon Boyd and you just see his life, 1129 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 1: just the underdog nature of it. I mean, but when 1130 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 1: that old radio da DA here in Columbia, Missouri, the 1131 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 1: Bradley Bill Eagles is playing the Howard Bill Hawks, and 1132 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: then you know for overtimes true, I mean, it just 1133 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: was a neat It was so cool and and and 1134 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 1: I discovered that this this audio recording was even available 1135 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 1: by Leon comes I didn't realize it, but the CD 1136 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 1: was in the back cover of the book and he said, 1137 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, you can use it, put it on there, 1138 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 1: and I just thought it was in neat. Did y'all 1139 01:04:55,720 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 1: think that was cool? You know? One thing I wanted 1140 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 1: to know was how tall is this Combs guy? And 1141 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean, what did they have any big people on that? 1142 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: The three there was there were three six, three guys 1143 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: and then that's pretty good they but see they fouled 1144 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 1: out two guys that were six six and that was 1145 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: part of their strategy. So if they hadn't have done that, 1146 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean their strategy worked, they're playing work and uh, 1147 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:31,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's pretty incredible, pretty incredible bradley 1148 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,440 Speaker 1: Ville Eagles. So what was what was the most what 1149 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 1: was the favorite part of the podcast? Print Like, was 1150 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 1: there one spot that you're like that was cool? My 1151 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 1: favorite part was Ship ye at the end of course 1152 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,240 Speaker 1: on known Ship the majority of his life. And I 1153 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 1: know when he asked you the question, are we are 1154 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,360 Speaker 1: we gonna go back and see this guy? Are we 1155 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 1: going to be friends? You know, I think he took 1156 01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 1: a lot of value and I know it a lot 1157 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 1: of it was just because of the basketball thing. I 1158 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,960 Speaker 1: know that, But I know that kid, and I know 1159 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: he had a good time when y'all went hunting up there, 1160 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 1: and I and he's a he's a smart lad, And 1161 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 1: I think he was soaking up a lot of things 1162 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,840 Speaker 1: and seeing a lot of potential and a lot of 1163 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 1: fun and good times that he could have being in 1164 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 1: the presence of that guy. So that my favorite part 1165 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 1: was it was old Ship soaking it in and really 1166 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: digging what was going on up there beyond basketball and 1167 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 1: something that happened before is dad it was even born. 1168 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: My chefs take on it there because It actually surprised me, 1169 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,439 Speaker 1: and I tried to say it in a diplomatic way, 1170 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 1: like chef here that part, because I kind of knew 1171 01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,000 Speaker 1: it was coming. Ship. The chef is not pumped about 1172 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,160 Speaker 1: coon hunting, like I've drugged a kid around his whole life. 1173 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Like Misty sent a picture on our family tex saread 1174 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 1: to day of of a picture of all the kids 1175 01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 1: with the dogs, and I mean hips like that tall, 1176 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,880 Speaker 1: and you know, it's like it's not always fun to 1177 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 1: be the youngest child. I mean, no telling how many 1178 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: coon trees he's been to. Nope, telling how many coons 1179 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 1: he's carried out of the woods on his back, you know, 1180 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: carrying him by the hind leg, strode over his shoulder. 1181 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: It's just not his thing. Like he's now fourteen, and 1182 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: he will go with me occasionally just because I'm like, 1183 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 1: come on, Chip, let's go, and he'll he'll come. He's 1184 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,800 Speaker 1: your clay. Yeah, he'll play golf. Actually I don't think 1185 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,919 Speaker 1: he will. He's had the opportunity recently and he's he's 1186 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: just so he is truly very and I think that's 1187 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 1: part of what we've really challenged hip to be is 1188 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 1: that's like the you know, at different seasons of your 1189 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 1: kid's life, you kind of focus in on different aspects 1190 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: of their character that you you want to build. And 1191 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 1: that's our agreement with him because we actually we are 1192 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,120 Speaker 1: letting hip specialize more than we've ever let him specialize before. 1193 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 1: And we've been real slow that I mean we have really, 1194 01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there are people who truly believe that we 1195 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 1: have made mistakes that we did not. They would be 1196 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:14,920 Speaker 1: like athletic advisors type people like coaches and other people 1197 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,840 Speaker 1: that we haven't done the like given him all the 1198 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,800 Speaker 1: opportunities he needs to be developed at age fourteen, and 1199 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: and I'm our thing with him is that, hey, we 1200 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,160 Speaker 1: actually do feel like this is a season where we 1201 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 1: can let you expand a little bit. You're going into 1202 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: high school. He does have good character, he has you know, 1203 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 1: he's outgrown the context that he's been in. I had 1204 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 1: somebody asked me what our philosophy was with our kids, 1205 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 1: because I didn't want the podcast to be all about Chap. 1206 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,759 Speaker 1: I just thought it was a neat I just wanted 1207 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 1: some complexity to the story. And and that's why I 1208 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,560 Speaker 1: was interested in the story because we love basketball, and 1209 01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,639 Speaker 1: but Shepherd has ever since he was two years old, 1210 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 1: love basketball and has really dedicated himself to it all 1211 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 1: these years. They went through the phase of you know, 1212 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to play in the n b A and 1213 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 1: we're like, no, you're not. This is never gonna happen. 1214 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 1: And basically nothing like shooting the kids drinker okay quickly, 1215 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,719 Speaker 1: the boys all, it's a joke in our family because 1216 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 1: we one time we watched the NBA draft Molik Monk 1217 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 1: was getting and by the way, the night that Malik 1218 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 1: Monk from Arkansas got drafted, the announcer on ESPN said, now, 1219 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,600 Speaker 1: that guy shot more squirrels than anybody else on the 1220 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 1: square to night, and I was like, I was crying. 1221 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:37,599 Speaker 1: I was so proud. That's right, Arkansas are but blake 1222 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 1: if you're hearing this brother, come on to the bar, 1223 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,600 Speaker 1: because that's what he talked about, being out in the 1224 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 1: Delta with his grandpa shooting hunting squirrels. But anyway, so 1225 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,799 Speaker 1: he uh, the night he got drafted, we were watching 1226 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 1: and the boys were just enjoying listen to all these 1227 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 1: little speeches that these guys were given about their mama 1228 01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 1: and how you know she believed in when no one 1229 01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,600 Speaker 1: else did, and those about boys said man, if we 1230 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 1: ever get drafted, we're gonna stand up and say, our 1231 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 1: mom told us for a very young age, genetics are 1232 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 1: against you. There's whatever to this one. She faithfully took 1233 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 1: us to practices, faithfully cheered, and she did not believe. 1234 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: And I was like, I haven't. Shepherd was so wanted 1235 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 1: to be so focused on basketball that for years we 1236 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:34,480 Speaker 1: just kind of I never emphasized it. I never validated 1237 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 1: him that much, just kind of just like, whatever, basketball 1238 01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: is not that important, and we pushed him away from it, 1239 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: and he stuck with it. And then basically a year 1240 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: ago at the time when if they're really going to 1241 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,240 Speaker 1: have a future in basketball, are gonna go for it, 1242 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:54,479 Speaker 1: it's time to get behind him. And so we actually 1243 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 1: had a family meeting where we sat down and we said, Shepherd, 1244 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 1: you have all these years stayed dedicated to basketball. And 1245 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 1: I mean I could go through all the stuff he does. 1246 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,840 Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible the amount of discipline that he has 1247 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 1: and how much he loves it. And I said, you 1248 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,920 Speaker 1: have become what we wanted you to become, because the 1249 01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 1: last thing we wanted Joel was to have a kid 1250 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:19,719 Speaker 1: that was like a superstar ball hog, like like arrogant, 1251 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,960 Speaker 1: little punk kid that's a star basketball player. We've all 1252 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,599 Speaker 1: seen him. We didn't want that who was a star 1253 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: basketball player but had no moral character and get into 1254 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 1: some environment and he can't. Yeah, it's like we didn't 1255 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: want him. His identity to be I am a star 1256 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,800 Speaker 1: basketball player who also has the age limit on when that, 1257 01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean that the identity only lasts so long. And 1258 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 1: so as I found out after my night and Clark 1259 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 1: stalls later, let's probably make a podcast about that one day. 1260 01:11:54,600 --> 01:12:01,560 Speaker 1: So the the so chep was just disciplined chips. The 1261 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 1: biggest thing we're working on Chip right now inside of 1262 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,719 Speaker 1: basketball and the levels he's playing in is to shoot 1263 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 1: it rather than pass it like he we we taught 1264 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: him like, don't be a ball hog. If you score 1265 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 1: all the points and nobody else scores points, that's bad. 1266 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,240 Speaker 1: Like we we we really trained him a certain way 1267 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 1: of thinking about sports, and it's become ingrained in him 1268 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,599 Speaker 1: and it's become his default. And then this year we said, hey, 1269 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 1: you pass the test. Now we're gonna get behind you 1270 01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about a formal declaration of intent 1271 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,439 Speaker 1: and we're going to get behind you and say okay, 1272 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 1: now we're gonna let you specialize. So if I could 1273 01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,479 Speaker 1: say it that way, and and so we we he 1274 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:53,320 Speaker 1: tried out for a team. He's on that team. I mean, 1275 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: we told him we're gonna get behind you, we're gonna 1276 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,360 Speaker 1: support you, We're gonna let you try out for some 1277 01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,880 Speaker 1: some teams that were bigger than the context that he 1278 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,120 Speaker 1: was in at that time. But our deal with him 1279 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,360 Speaker 1: was that as a high schooler, he's got the internal 1280 01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,280 Speaker 1: maturity to now say I have to be responsible for 1281 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,760 Speaker 1: my own character. And the phrase we gave him his 1282 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: pan optic management. We want him to be complex, not simple. 1283 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,880 Speaker 1: And so he's got there's there's bargains, this is a deal, 1284 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,240 Speaker 1: and and we don't want him to have one muscle 1285 01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 1: that's really strong and the rest of his body that's 1286 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 1: weak and not able to do anything. So I want 1287 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 1: his room clean, I want him to do the tours. 1288 01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,599 Speaker 1: I want him to have good grades in school. Chep 1289 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 1: is real smart and he should he should have a 1290 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:38,960 Speaker 1: plan B. I'm not sure where the high gene that 1291 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 1: he got is gonna take them. And even if it 1292 01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: did take them to places, I would want him to 1293 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,479 Speaker 1: have character when he got there and be able to 1294 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 1: be complex, be well read, be educated, do those things. 1295 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:49,760 Speaker 1: And so that's what I meant on the podcast when 1296 01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 1: I spent said, we do sports, but we do it 1297 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,760 Speaker 1: on our terms. I don't want it to sound like 1298 01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: we're trying to push our kids away from specialization. Because 1299 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 1: specialization can be good, but you just need more and 1300 01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,600 Speaker 1: it's helpful to have more. And so that's why, like 1301 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,280 Speaker 1: I was talking about Shepard not liking coon hunting so much, 1302 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 1: That's why when we came away from Leon Boyd's house, 1303 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 1: Shepherd instigated that conversation. There was no Mike's going like 1304 01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: the last thing he thought was I was gonna talk 1305 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 1: about what he was saying to me. I mean, we're 1306 01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,920 Speaker 1: pulling out of the driveway and he goes dead. Are 1307 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,320 Speaker 1: you gonna be friends with Mr? Leon? Like you are? James? 1308 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 1: And I just looked at him and I was like 1309 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,680 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what he was asking. And I 1310 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 1: just gave him a real practical answer. I said, I mean, 1311 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,719 Speaker 1: you know, Chep, I just met Mr Leon. I don't 1312 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 1: you know. He's a very nice man. We had a 1313 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 1: great time with him. He lives in a long ways 1314 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 1: from us. I mean, I don't know that I'm gonna 1315 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,519 Speaker 1: be able to come back over here that much. And 1316 01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 1: he like, he said, Dad, I don't think it's right 1317 01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 1: for you just to have him on your podcasts and 1318 01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,120 Speaker 1: us us never come back over here. And I said, 1319 01:14:58,160 --> 01:14:59,519 Speaker 1: do you want to come back over here? And this 1320 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: is a boy who's not pumped about coon hunting and 1321 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 1: he said yeah, and he I love that because Leon 1322 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Boyd is just the kind of guy that you would 1323 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 1: want your son to look up to. And Chef liked 1324 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:17,720 Speaker 1: it that he was a ball player. But it's just 1325 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 1: I could tell Chef just like this old man and 1326 01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,960 Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah. I liked it, like Leon Boyd has character. 1327 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: Did did you? I didn't hear it in the podcast, 1328 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,560 Speaker 1: but Leon Boyd played basketball on organized basketball till he 1329 01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,160 Speaker 1: was seventy and he got a shoulder injury coon hunting 1330 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 1: and had to stop. That's pretty cool, pretty good way 1331 01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:41,519 Speaker 1: to go out and play the glory. Oh, talking about 1332 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:46,760 Speaker 1: a kid specializing. I hired a guy one time to 1333 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 1: be a banker out of college for one reason. On 1334 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 1: his resume he was the top three point shooter at 1335 01:15:55,640 --> 01:16:00,599 Speaker 1: his college. And and really it may be I didn't 1336 01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 1: have the original thought, but the guy and myself that 1337 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 1: we're hiring him the guy he pointed out, anybody that 1338 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 1: is the top three point shooter in their conference in college, 1339 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a top banker or whatever field they 1340 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:29,000 Speaker 1: get into. And sure enough, this guy was a whiz 1341 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: bank And I mean he's just Scott rocketed. Yeah, he 1342 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:37,519 Speaker 1: actually he actually got out of banking. And I would 1343 01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,840 Speaker 1: just bet that he's really really done well. I know 1344 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 1: when I checked on him ten fifteen years ago, he 1345 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:48,200 Speaker 1: had done really well. Well. It's discipline. You know. If 1346 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm a lucy goosey guy and I don't finish projects 1347 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,760 Speaker 1: and I just monkey around, I won't be the same 1348 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: way when I go to work for you. But if 1349 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 1: if I'm I got my act together and I'm shooting 1350 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:05,040 Speaker 1: a thousand shots a day, I'm going to shoot a 1351 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 1: thousand shots for you when I go to work for you. So, 1352 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,559 Speaker 1: and I mean that there's a lot to be said. Now, 1353 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: if that's all he can do is shoot, I mean you, 1354 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 1: as you're moving through the shooting process, you've got to 1355 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:25,640 Speaker 1: develop a personality where people like you. You can communicate, 1356 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:31,840 Speaker 1: you can sell. Devin knows that. So I think what 1357 01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about two is drive and I think that's 1358 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,920 Speaker 1: the thing about with sports, with hunting, with whatever you've 1359 01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: got your kids interested in. I do think it's important 1360 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 1: to let them have things they're passionate about because it 1361 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 1: produces that that drive. You can't it's hard. I mean, 1362 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,439 Speaker 1: there's some things, there's some subjects in school that we 1363 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 1: just have to make our kids work hard at when 1364 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,639 Speaker 1: you're when your child is motivated towards something, I think, 1365 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 1: and that's what I love about sports is that it 1366 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: is a place to really develop character. And it's the 1367 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,920 Speaker 1: same thing I like about hunting, like when Bear went 1368 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,320 Speaker 1: hunting last year. To me, it doesn't really matter as 1369 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,080 Speaker 1: long as it's you know, wholesome stuff, what they're into. 1370 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 1: It's good too. It's good to let kids have passions. 1371 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:12,439 Speaker 1: It's good to let them care about something because that 1372 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,160 Speaker 1: drive produces things in them because they want to do it. 1373 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:19,360 Speaker 1: And so that drive helps them learn discipline, learns, how 1374 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,920 Speaker 1: to take defeat, learn how to you learn how to 1375 01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 1: take all the different challenges that come into stuff. So 1376 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 1: it's good to My concern with the current generation would 1377 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 1: be that there's a lot of kids out there that 1378 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,800 Speaker 1: don't really have drive for much at all, and so 1379 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:35,920 Speaker 1: it's it's good too. It's good to let them go 1380 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:39,439 Speaker 1: find go find drive and to identify things that would 1381 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:44,439 Speaker 1: distract you from finding things you're passionate about and limiting 1382 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 1: those things. And even in losing. Uh, Leon Combs want 1383 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 1: two games in four years. But but he went on 1384 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,920 Speaker 1: to be successful because you know, he stayed with it 1385 01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,519 Speaker 1: for four years. And in my one of my favorite 1386 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 1: part was when he said, you know, we got beat 1387 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 1: sixty four to six, but he couldn't wait to get 1388 01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,160 Speaker 1: to the next game. And you ask, I wonder why 1389 01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: it's so he could bounce a basketball on a hardwood floor. Yeah, 1390 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:20,599 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it's like, you know, if you've been 1391 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 1: in a box your whole life and you get to 1392 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,479 Speaker 1: look at every now, man, I mean that looking at Yeah, 1393 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 1: get slapped in the face when you look out, you 1394 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 1: look out, Yeah, yeah, I mean you know. So anyway, yeah, 1395 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 1: that that was interesting. One thing, Leon Combs, this is 1396 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 1: totally off the off the topic of sports. Leon Combs, 1397 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,880 Speaker 1: he told me when he went out into life, he 1398 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 1: lived this very isolated rural life in the Ozarks. And 1399 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: he said that old people, the old timers used to 1400 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: do what they call saucer coffee Yeah, have you ever 1401 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,520 Speaker 1: heard of that? Yeah, Oscar Newcam did that. No way'll 1402 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: tell us what. Well, I don't know, I've never heard 1403 01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 1: of it. Talked is like a but he would just 1404 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,720 Speaker 1: take his coffee and plut it in a saucer and 1405 01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,760 Speaker 1: drink it. I have a saucer to cool it off. 1406 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: It's exactly Yeah, he's Mr. Leon Boyd said that when 1407 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: he went I think he went out to California when 1408 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,200 Speaker 1: he was like nineteen or something and he saucered his 1409 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 1: coffee and he said that people made fun of him. 1410 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:23,920 Speaker 1: And he was like, what we get made fun of coffee? 1411 01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,200 Speaker 1: And he said he said, yeah, you get a cup 1412 01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 1: of coffee, hot coffee, and you pour it into a 1413 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 1: saucer so that it has the surface areas spread out 1414 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 1: and you can blow, blow and saucer saucer and blow, 1415 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,320 Speaker 1: and then you drink it out of the saucer like 1416 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:45,639 Speaker 1: a little plate. Hey Joel, Yeah, tell us, Uh, tell 1417 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 1: us just a little bit about sweet Tea. Films where 1418 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,599 Speaker 1: people can find Tavin. I'm sure he's back with Meme 1419 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,600 Speaker 1: all by now for Tavin Dillar podcast. They can find that, 1420 01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,519 Speaker 1: you know, wherever they listen to podcast. Uh.

UM, 1422 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: And that's where you can find all the work I'm 1423 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,519 Speaker 1: up to and the stuff that I'm doing. UM. I 1424 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,560 Speaker 1: will say kind of what we've been talking about with 1425 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, you gotta wrap up, but UM, I've 1426 01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,280 Speaker 1: talked to a lot of college students over the years 1427 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 1: about their craft because a lot of people want to 1428 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 1: make it in film. And one of the things I've repeated, 1429 01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 1: which is true for anything in life. What we've been 1430 01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,559 Speaker 1: talking about is that one of the things I say 1431 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,400 Speaker 1: often is you've got to Uh. First of all, you 1432 01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 1: can't just have a paper resume. Your portfolio matters in 1433 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,360 Speaker 1: the arts, which means if you say I directed a film, 1434 01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:34,960 Speaker 1: it could have been a horrible film. But if you 1435 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 1: show someone in your film, they can say, Okay, you've 1436 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,000 Speaker 1: done it. I said, so, first of all, your portfolio 1437 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:40,680 Speaker 1: needs to exist, like you need to be out there 1438 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,680 Speaker 1: doing the work before you get hired anywhere. The other 1439 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: one is beyond time and be easy to work with, 1440 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 1: and that's true for anything, but that's those disciplines that 1441 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:54,080 Speaker 1: show up over time. And then it really is how 1442 01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:57,120 Speaker 1: you relate to people. I think Gary mentioned the coach's 1443 01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 1: approach and how the players like, no, he wasn't mean, 1444 01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,640 Speaker 1: he didn't yell, he didn't show up and screen, but 1445 01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 1: he worked hard. But there's there's actually a way to communicate. 1446 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 1: And I think some people buy into well, uh, that's great, 1447 01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: but I can get stuff done this way. But over 1448 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 1: the long haul, if we're mistreating people and getting good results. 1449 01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,040 Speaker 1: Over the long haul, you look back and there there's 1450 01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:18,640 Speaker 1: a lot of damage that's been done that could have 1451 01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 1: been avoided. You actually could have had a bigger impact 1452 01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 1: if you kind of done it kindly or more more more, 1453 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 1: I guess right in a way. So, um, that's something 1454 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,600 Speaker 1: that I was thinking through about, you know, this this 1455 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 1: specific episode that you did, and then also just approaching 1456 01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 1: kids and careers in general. It's like, it's true those 1457 01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:44,439 Speaker 1: things never got a style. Yeah, you know they work 1458 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,720 Speaker 1: in every field. Be easy to work with. Yeah, any 1459 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 1: field you go in, that's going to be helpful. Yeah. 1460 01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: To that point, we were well, I won't say I 1461 01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 1: was going to slander Eyes an NBA player. Another another 1462 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: conversation that Ship and I had recently about probably one 1463 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:04,839 Speaker 1: of the greatest NBA players that's alive today is basically 1464 01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 1: untreatable because he's so stinking hard to work with. We 1465 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,679 Speaker 1: won't mention his name. Yeah. Yeah, it's just been interesting 1466 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,960 Speaker 1: that it's been interesting to watch this trade season because 1467 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,800 Speaker 1: there's some pretty amazing players out there and no one 1468 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:25,080 Speaker 1: wants them. You know, the the points that you're making there, 1469 01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,960 Speaker 1: you had these kids that were just hungry. I mean, 1470 01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 1: you don't see that anymore. You had a coach that 1471 01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,920 Speaker 1: that was that was complied and loving and kind, and 1472 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 1: the reason he could do that. You got all these 1473 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,000 Speaker 1: players just going yes or yes or yes sir, okay, okay, 1474 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:44,679 Speaker 1: I get to run ten miles today, all right, you know, yeah, 1475 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:48,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. I mean, that was one time in 1476 01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 1: the last fifty years that's probably happened. And they won 1477 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,719 Speaker 1: state championships and and so it's just kind of proof 1478 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,560 Speaker 1: that there's more to the recipe than just discipline. This. 1479 01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a a bunch of stuff thrown into 1480 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 1: pot and it's tough to get it. And this day 1481 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 1: and time, these kids, you know that sometimes they're called 1482 01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 1: snowflakes and things. You know, I think I'm probably an 1483 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 1: old snowflake, but I mean, you know, it's just our 1484 01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:25,200 Speaker 1: society were so impressionable. I mean, you can just tell 1485 01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,639 Speaker 1: a kid he's great, he thinks he's great, and telling 1486 01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 1: him he's terrible, he thinks he's terrible. It's it's kind 1487 01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,320 Speaker 1: of dangerous really, And we're telling our kids a bunch 1488 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 1: of stuff today that you know, might not allow them 1489 01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,920 Speaker 1: to win a state championship. What if there was just 1490 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,320 Speaker 1: no state What if they finally got down to the 1491 01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 1: final game and they were just like, no, we can't 1492 01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,720 Speaker 1: do this. Everybody gets a trophy, yeah, or everybody gets 1493 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,639 Speaker 1: a trophy. They're like, no state championship game, you don't 1494 01:24:51,680 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 1: deserve it. Um, get back into reality.

I mean, I, 1505 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:44,479 Speaker 1: you know, first first thing on TikTok, first thing on TikTok, 1506 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 1: I had to go through and clean it up, you know, 1507 01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:50,960 Speaker 1: because it was terrible. And so I went through and said, 1508 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm not interested, not interested, right right, you know, my 1509 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,800 Speaker 1: cardinal side was going, what but you know, you see 1510 01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: clean it up and it's really really good.

Well, I think it, just 1516 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,280 Speaker 1: to be fair, I think that TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, all 1517 01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 1: of them are checking on us. I mean, everybody's going, yeah, 1518 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm so self righteous about it 1519 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:31,519 Speaker 1: with TikTok, but it also it runs your battery China, 1520 01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: battery management, yeah, battery management. I think that it's a 1521 01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,839 Speaker 1: real testament to how cool Clay is that he's on TikTok, 1522 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,000 Speaker 1: because he refers to it as the talk. Wow, that's 1523 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 1: that's even cool. And I'm not even sure that anyone 1524 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,800 Speaker 1: else refers to it as the talk but when you 1525 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,679 Speaker 1: put the in front of it, yeah, the Walmarts. Yeah, 1526 01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 1: exam that our kids, our kids laugh at because he 1527 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 1: listens when he doesn't really spend a ton of time 1528 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: believe it or not on Instagram or TikTok or any thing. 1529 01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 1: But when he does, he watches the rule reels all 1530 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 1: the way through at full volume. And apparently that's not 1531 01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 1: cool because when he does it, all of our kids 1532 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:11,880 Speaker 1: will look at each other and I mean he puts 1533 01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,160 Speaker 1: it at and Clay can't hear great, So I mean 1534 01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 1: the volume is like super and so he's watching it 1535 01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 1: and it's like blaring, and we're all just watching him 1536 01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,800 Speaker 1: like this is not how you watch, it's not how 1537 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:26,679 Speaker 1: you do this.
