1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: It's that time time time time walking load. So Michael 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: Arry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: We got a complaint from RJ on the black line. 4 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 3: He had to call in on the regular line because 5 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 3: we only have one black line and it was already taken, 6 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 3: so he had to go to the back of the 7 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 3: line on the white line. 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: He's not happy, but he's holding Jason. Okay. 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: So I got an email from Bobby, who's a frequent 10 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 3: emailer now to paint the picture. Bobby's a white guy, 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: probably sixty years old. He's one of the people that 12 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: retired early and is really proud of it. Like they 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 3: brag about it all the time, you know what I mean, 14 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: Like they said every penny they ever made. You know 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 3: that guy, right, he's one of these people. Has a garage. 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: This half hoarder or half I means you could. He 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 3: fixes everything, He repairs everything. He's got a little something 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: and he looks down on anybody who spends money on anything. Okay, 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: so he says, he says, back in the seventies, it 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 3: was a very rare thing to see a black man 21 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: on a motorcycle. Now they ride as much as anyone, 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: and you see them everywhere. I'm not sure what happened, 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: but my theory, this is his theory, is that back 24 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: then they didn't want to f up the natural mess 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: up their afro. 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: Oh the pro hold on, hold on. 27 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: Not sure what the appeal of the slingshot is, but 28 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: maybe it's that you can accessorize it with red lights 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: and whatnot. 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 2: Disclaimer, then, he says, disclaimer. 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: I might not be the best one to have a 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: theory on this since next to Ramone, I'm the whitest 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: man in America and don't actually know anyone black. So 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: I just offer that into the theory, into the discussion. Jason, 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: what do you do for a living man? 36 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 4: I am a truck. 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 5: And long haul or well a little bit of both. 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: San Antonio, Dallas, Louisiana. 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 3: So I have noticed in the phone calls we're getting 40 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: RJ drives the truck. 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: I have noticed a very high. 42 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 3: Uh percentage of our black callers or truck drivers. 43 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: Now. 44 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: I get a lot of emails and calls from truck 45 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: drivers because truck drivers are in their vehicle and we're 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: kind of perfect for that. But do you notice it 47 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: feels like there are more blacks going into truck driving. 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: And I think it's a good job and all of 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. But did did did somebody else 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 3: in your family with somebody else's truck? 51 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: How'd you become a truck driver? 52 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 5: Man? 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 4: I worked for Krogers and then I worked for another company. 54 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: But there's always transportation, right, and so I figured it 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: was the best way for me to break out on 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 4: my own. I read a book a long time ago, 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 4: and it says, if you want to do something, to do, 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 4: do something in the field that you know a lot about. 59 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 4: And so my way always been in delivery. So I 60 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: just got my LLC and started a trucking company. 61 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: How long did date? Did you have a CDL already 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: at that point? 63 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 4: No? Well, at the CDL process, it took about maybe 64 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: like like a six months to a year. And you know, 65 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 4: you go work for a company and kind of get 66 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 4: your way around and learn how to back up and everything, 67 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: and then you know, save your money. 68 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 5: Uh what I think? 69 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 4: I used legal No free advertisers like you said, Yes, 70 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 4: So I use I used one of the online companies, 71 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: got in the LLC and just been rolling ever since. 72 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: Did you have a jackknife a truck while you were 73 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: backing it up? 74 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 4: No? The craziest thing about backing up is just making 75 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: sure that you do it really slow, because if you 76 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 4: do it fast, that's when that's when the jack knife happens. 77 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: Do you have a boat? 78 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 4: I would, I know what this is going. I would 79 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: like a boat, but due to circumstances that are not 80 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 4: of myunt of control, never learned how to swim. Man, 81 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 4: lived in California for all those years, maybe like ten 82 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: or fifteen years or never. Never. 83 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 5: Never. 84 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 4: I can book board, but I can't swim. 85 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: I can't imagine not being able to swim. But of 86 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: my black friends, probably half of them have never swam, 87 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: don't swim, won't swim. I just can't imagine because I 88 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: spent so much time around the water, and I don't. 89 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: I didn't spend as much time around the water as 90 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: anybody else, but it was very important to my mother. 91 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: We started at the YMCA next to the project, interestingly 92 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: in Orange from the earliest age, and so swimming was 93 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: just natural. 94 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: And I did the same thing with my kids. That's interesting. 95 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: I can't imagine that we just never learned. 96 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: Man, I should have took the time, but man, I 97 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: got three kids now doing the trucking thing. 98 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: It's just your kids swim yeah, well. 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: Athletics not yet of course. Idently my best friend his 100 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 4: son swam in Oh my gosh Spring really tall kid man, 101 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 4: black kid as well. He was like a fish in 102 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: the water man. So it's possible. He just got to 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 4: put the effort into it. 104 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: Of course. Yeah, no, there is an issue. 105 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: And I talked to David Goggins, who's one of the 106 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 3: few black Navy seals on the show. Yeah about there 107 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: is a bone density issue. 108 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: It is. 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: It is physically supposedly harder to swim, but not sufficiently 110 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 3: that it couldn't be done. You could be a good swimmer. 111 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: It just it is. There is a physiological difference. There 112 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: is no doubt about that. Yeah, but that's not the 113 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: reason most Blacks don't swim. 114 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: Right, It just became a cultural. 115 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 5: Thing most of the time. 116 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: Man, if you basketball is on those sports where you 117 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 4: don't need a big brother, all you got is the 118 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 4: ball and the goal, and so a lot of times 119 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 4: we're more out to go play basketball than to jump 120 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 4: in the pool with that. 121 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, but think about this, Jason, think about this. 122 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: You say basketball is easy, all you need is a ball, 123 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: and soccer is even easier than that, and nobody black 124 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 3: plays soccer other than my son Crockett. But the fact 125 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: is it would be easier to just take an open field. 126 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: And for black kids in America in the hood, with 127 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: no parental figure, with all the time in the world 128 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: to play soccer, there's no real equipment costing all that. 129 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 3: It's also a cultural thing because they're already at. 130 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: The court on the corner as they're coming home on 131 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: the bus. 132 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: Then they go out there. It's what's already it's what 133 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 3: you see, you do. We're so much a product of 134 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: what we're already around. 135 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 4: That's true. That's true. That is true. I will agree 136 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: with you one hundred percent. That's why it was so 137 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 4: important for me to start my own business. So at 138 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: least now my son can see what I go through 139 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: dealing with taxes and just run. Now he understands, he's 140 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 4: not I got threes nine five. 141 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: And just had a baby. 142 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 5: First birthday will be April. 143 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: Jason. Let's put them in swim lessons right now. 144 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 4: We need to, sir. 145 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: I'm serious. It doesn't take long. 146 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: It does and then once they can swim, they can 147 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: do it on their own. 148 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: They can get better. 149 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: They can get stronger the earlier you start, just like 150 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: with foreign languages, the better it's going to be for them. 151 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 3: It's just so so much better. Are you married to 152 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: a black woman? 153 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 4: Yes, sir, that ten eleven. 154 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 2: Years good for you? Your first wife? 155 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 5: Yeah? 156 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, come on, I can't. I can only 157 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: do this thing one time. Anybody that does this morning once, 158 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna call them crazy. But it's just like 159 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: your analogy with your friends. The white guy gets married 160 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: and they just go younger and younger, and the women. 161 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: Don't they send that. You know why. 162 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: I don't understand that because I can't talk to their 163 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: younger wives. You know, they bring them around and I 164 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: have nothing in common. 165 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 4: You know, It's just it's statistically, man, the more times 166 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: they're married is the more sports cars in the bigger 167 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 4: the house. It's really fun to me. I want to 168 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: understand it. My wife and my kids is just normal. 169 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: I don't understand it. Now. 170 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: I realize that some women, as they get older, they 171 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: get bitter, and and they get when I say, as 172 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: my grandm will say, ugly, I don't mean physically ugly. 173 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: I mean they get to where they're unpleasant or maybe 174 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: they're not nice to their man. I think what happens 175 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: is these guys fall in love with a younger woman 176 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: who's trying so hard to woo to seduce them that 177 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: she's all he's and she's all over him. And then 178 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: the minute they get married, and I've seen this happen 179 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: one hundred times, the minute they get married and she's 180 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: not all over him anymore, and she's not bragging about 181 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: him anymore and how successful, and he misses that. And 182 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: so then we we repeat that loop again.

And he had something there called Cowboy caviar. 273 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: And so she thought I would have grown up eating this. 274 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: So she presents this incredible meal with the pork chop 275 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 3: and this what they call it, and my grandmother's corn bread. 276 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: And I'm really excited, but I need a potato product. 277 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 2: That's just the way I was raised. 278 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: Instead of potato product, there was something called cowboy caviar. Well, 279 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: you have to understand anybody's ever been around my wife, 280 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: she is literally the sweetest.

And usually those motives go out. They 435 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 5: don't go out like that, you know. But that's that's 436 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 5: uly the main thing that you're going to change. Capacitors, contactors, motors. 437 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: So you walk people, if you've got how to do 438 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: this themselves. 439 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: Know what I do.
