1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: It's that time, time time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: The Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 3: The US is the first time in the history of

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 3: the world where a government was organized with a constitution

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and

6
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: goumb and that is what led to the US becoming

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: the greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: the best they could be, unlike it had ever happened.

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: That's American exceptionalism.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 4: It's and they may well ask why climb the highest

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 4: mountain five thirty five years ago?

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Why the Atlantic?

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 4: Why does Rice play Texas?

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: We choose to go to the moon. We choose to

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: go to the moon. We choose to go to the

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: moon and disscate and do the other thing, not because

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: they are easy, but because they are hard.

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 5: If we look to the answer as to why for

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 5: so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: other people on earth, it was because here in this

21
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 5: land we unleash the energy and individual genius of man

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 5: to a greater extent than has ever.

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Been done before.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 5: Freedom and the dignity the individual have been more available

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 5: and assured here than in any other place on Earth.

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: Yours if y'all were worried, How come Michael to have

27
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: to buy that fella's lunch. That's not right. It should

28
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: befall him. We should all pitch in together. It's not

29
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: fair that it should have to come out of his

30
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: back pocket. Worry not. Friends got a call from Jonathan

31
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Kim that he and Russell Lebara had huddled after that

32
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: call and decided that they would like to host. How

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: did two people huddle? It's funny you say you have

34
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: to put if you've been to a wrestling match, like

35
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: not wrestling, but actual wrestling in high school. Yeah, so

36
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: you know you wear the headgear and all that. At

37
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: the beginning of it, you both put your arms around

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: like it's almost like a hug, but from a little

39
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: bit of a distance you're creating there's no there's no

40
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: penetrable boundary. So that creates a huddle out of two people.

41
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: It's a good question. Yeah, so let's put this into perspective.

42
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: So anyway, see you interrupted, Remember you promised not to

43
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: interrupt start in February. That was your New Year's resolution.

44
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: So uh, they said, no, no, no, no, let us take

45
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: care of this guy. This is you don't get you

46
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: don't get the joy of this. We're taking care of that,

47
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: and tell him to ask for Aaron Castillo when he

48
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: gets there at eleven. I kind of get the impression

49
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: that Paul Hubbard is a guy like Michael Petru, my trainer,

50
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: that if he says, he what time are you been there,

51
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: I've been eleven, I kind of get the impression that

52
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: he won't be there at ten fifty nine. And if

53
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: you're waiting at the front door at eleven oh one,

54
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: you missed him because he just came through. I kind

55
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: of get the impression that if he rolls up at

56
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: ten fifty six, he waits out in his car for

57
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: three minutes, for four minutes, you know what I mean.

58
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: It's it's eleven means eleven, even if no one's waiting

59
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: on him. It's this sort of thing. It's kind of

60
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: a German thing that that German Swiss you know you're

61
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: on time. It's what you do. It's it's just what

62
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: you do. Anyway, put forty three years into perspective. Joe

63
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: Flann again, one of our listeners, says, I only made

64
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: it twenty one years and seven months. I think about this,

65
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: that's almost as many years you've been in radio. That's

66
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: a full career, right. I only made it years twenty

67
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: one years and seven months in law enforcement, and I

68
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: don't miss it at all. ZAR hats off to that fella. Well,

69
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: guess what, twenty one years and seven months is exactly

70
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: half what our man Paul Hubbard has done exactly half

71
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: forty three years to be a law You won't meet

72
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: a law enforcement officer, it's been on the only one

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: I've ever known is longer than that. You spend old

74
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: black fella. He's about ninety years old and about ninety pounds,

75
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: and this was he just retired a couple years ago,

76
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: and it was kind of one of these I don't

77
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: want to say mascot of the department because that sounds

78
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: insulting and that's not my intention. He was beloved, but

79
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: everyone kind of loved it. It was kind of like

80
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: the young mister Grayson upstairs. Downstairs, this old black guy,

81
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: he had his gun belt on, and I think it

82
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: was like a utility belt or something. It looks so

83
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: big and heavy and clunky on him, and he'd have

84
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: it cinched up real tight so it'd stay on him.

85
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: He was ninety years old, he had been a Houston

86
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: police officer before Houston was a city, you know, when

87
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: it was kind of frontiers land and Santa Anna had

88
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: deputized him or something. He had been on longer than

89
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: anybody could remember, Like he had sketched the city seal

90
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: one day while he was waiting on a stakeout and

91
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: he handed it in there like this is the city.

92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 2: This guy had been there forever. And he was ninety

93
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: or ninety one, and I think he'd been in office

94
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: for something like seventy years. And my immediate thought was

95
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: or maybe seventy two years. He was ninety, and I thought, well,

96
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: that's weird because you got to have some college or

97
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: military sixty hours of college or military two years of

98
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: military service to get hired. And they were like not

99
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: back then, No, he was getting course credit when he

100
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: was a sophomore. This dude's yeah. How about this email

101
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: from Brandon? Although I am single, I'm spending today expressing

102
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: gratitude to the ones who were supporting my moving into

103
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: whatever next role. I earn you ready for this one,

104
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: as I just lost my previous one. Oh I thought

105
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: he lost his spouse. Okay, never mind. I was reading

106
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: fast Arrow's love for them I don't hold, but rather

107
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: more agape. Not quite in the lane of what we

108
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: think during Valentine's Day, but showing a faction or sacrifice

109
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: and a challenge is a fine expression. I'd say that's true, Brandon,

110
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: I'd say that's true. My earnest prayer, no joke involved,

111
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: is that for people out there who are single and

112
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: wish to find someone else, that you find a good person.

113
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: Because I will tell you I've said it before, and

114
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: I say it again, and I mean it. If I

115
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: didn't have my wife, I'd be in a gutter somewhere.

116
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: I don't know when to go to bed, I don't

117
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: know when to get up. I don't have any good sense.

118
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: I can't make decisions on my own, big decisions, and

119
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: I just don't think I would have the will to

120
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: carry on in the way that I do. My wife

121
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: makes me a better person, She makes me stronger, she

122
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: makes me want to be a better dad, she makes

123
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: me want to be a better friend. And you know,

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: a lot of people are in a marriage where it

125
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: tears them down. It's a great distraction. They don't want

126
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: to go home. I've seen guys they'll do anything to

127
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: keep from going home because the situation is so bad,

128
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: and that's sad. I look forward to going home. And

129
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: if you're that person that looks forward to going home,

130
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: you know what it's like. And that sweet lady Felicia

131
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: talking about her man. By the way, Felicia, can you

132
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: call back up here? We didn't get your phone number.

133
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: We wanted to do something nice for y'all. Can you

134
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: call back up here and we get your phone number

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: and email? Please let's go to let's see see. Do

136
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: we have time? No, we don't have time. All right,

137
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell a joke, gradman, I don't have one ready.

138
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: Let me think about it for a moment. Uh all right,

139
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: here's where for you what happens when you cross a

140
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: drug cartel and a mafia boss? Probably killed. It's not

141
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: my best work. Come up with that on the fly.

142
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: I'll work seven one three, nine, nine one thousand. You

143
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: can email through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. What

144
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: do you think Paul Hubbard would order like? I don't

145
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: think he gets a cheese chiladas like I do. I

146
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: mean it's more kind of, you know, dry meat sort

147
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: of thing. I'm gonna call Matt Bryce during the break

148
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: and ask him if tonight they'll just dim the lights

149
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: and play that on loop. If that ain't the best

150
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day you've ever had, you know, one year we

151
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: went to that place, Michael Berry's alway talking about Federal

152
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: American Grill. And I don't know if they do this

153
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: every night or if it was a Valentine's thing, but

154
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: the lights were real dim, and I didn't think it

155
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: was always at dim like that. They just had candlelights

00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: on the tables and they just played Elvis on Loop

157
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: the whole. It was beautiful for a while, but then

158
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: it got kind of weird. Let's go to Cissy. Cissy,

167
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: You know, the loss of a loved one like that

168
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: really does give a wisdom. If only we could have

169
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: that wisdom before they die.

170
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 6: Ter my husband, my husband was the same exact way

171
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 6: he opened doors, took his hat off, tipped his hat

172
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 6: to every woman that he met walking through a door.

173
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 6: He was the love of my life, but I did

174
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 6: not know it until.

175
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: After he was going.

176
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, that seems to be the way it works. Thank

Speaker 7: Ivan Boski? No, I've never heard of this guy.

186
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: So ivan Boski. You might have heard the name Michael Milken.

187
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not. There was a book called Barbarians at

188
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: the Gate. Ivan Boski was a financial guy on Wall

189
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: Street and he made a lot of money, some of

190
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: it illegally. And ivan Boski would wear these these navy

191
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: suit banker suits, navy suits with thick chalk pinstripes. His

192
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: hair was perfectly It was a white hair, and he

193
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: gets his haircut every couple of days. He looked like

194
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: he'd have his tide done perfectly. He dressed like a

195
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: ten million dollars. And ivan Boski would go to lunch

196
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: and they would bring out. This was in New York

197
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: in the eighties. When they would bring the food out

198
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: on a tray. You know, there would be like six

199
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: entrees and they would bring them out and they would

200
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: have a steel cover over them and they would lift

201
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: them up. It was the big presentation, very continental European.

202
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: They'd pull it off. And when they brought it out

203
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: to you, well, when they brought the tray out, like

204
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: some some places will do a dessert train, they would

205
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: do that with the entrees. It'd go out and there's

206
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: you know, we have the dover soul here, and we

207
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: have the you know, this steak here, and and you

208
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: would choose one of the six that you wanted. It

209
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: was six entrees every day, and he would let the

210
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: other people order and then he'll say I'll have He'd

211
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: say I'll have one of each, and they would bring

212
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: the food out and he would taste a bite of

213
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: each in whichever one he liked, he would eat that.

214
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: It was kind of a show of how much money

215
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: he had. So ivan Boski was kind of legendary for

216
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: being arguably an ass. But what ivan Boski My favorite

217
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: story of My friend David Sapristine tells it better than anyone.

218
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: But he was at a he was walking into a

219
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: meeting and they were it was he was kind of

220
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: a corporate raider and he was buying out another company,

221
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: but it was an involuntary, hostile takeover. And they're walking

222
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: into the meeting. There's a long table with a seat

223
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: on the end, and all the lawyers and accountants, all

224
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: the service providers are coming in there and they're all

225
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: rushing to get to their seats, and the lady who's

Speaker 2: coordinating the meeting, and you know, once he's once he

227
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,720

228
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: and bustling and buzzying and all this. And he walks

229
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: in and he walks halfway down the table and he

230
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: sits down, and the lady comes over, who's coordinating the

231
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 2: whole thing. She says, mister, mister Boski, we've got you

232
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: at the head of the table. And he bounds the

233
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: table and he says, wherever I'm sitting is the head

234
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: of the table. So see, whatever number you call is

294
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: I've been shocked a few times. But finding out that

295
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: was a Beg song written and first performed by the Begs,

296
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: which wasn't so many years ago. That's what occasioned me

297
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: having to spend an entire weekend creating my thirty five

298
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: most famous Conway Twitty songs. That was a busy weekend, ramon.

299
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: And the problem was why you get down to So

300
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: you got those first five are hard to do, and

301
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: those last five are hard to do because you got

302
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: ten that still need to be on there, and you

303
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: got to make some toughness and you know that this

304
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: list matters, this list is going to be and then

305
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: Chad goes and puts it on Spotify, which is still

306
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: on there. So I got to live with that the

307
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: rest of my life. You know, you get older, you

308
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: might change a tune. You know, you start to appreciate that.

309
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, see on the black line.

310
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm turning my microphone off. The stage is yours?

311
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 7: Okay? So first is I want to give a massive

312
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 7: shout out to the people, to a group of people

313
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 7: that I respect.

314
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 10: Sorry, go back, Yeah, I got to give a shout out.

315
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 10: So massive shout out to the men in their specifically

316
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 10: their sons lives that teach them basically how to be

317
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 10: a man and that and that's such a like a

318
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 10: vague statement, so more specifically, how to be a provider.

319
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 10: So I grew up with no dad the way a

320
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 10: lot of black kids that were born in the eighties did.

321
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 10: I was raised by my mom and by my grandmother.

322
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 10: I have no siblings, I had no male role models

323
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 10: in my life, so I never.

324
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 7: Got the opportunity to see a man be a provider

325
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 7: in my life. Like that just wasn't a thing. I've

326
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 7: always been a good person, but there's a difference between

327
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 7: just being a good person and being a good provider.

328
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 7: So massive shout out to all the men and that

329
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 7: have sons that are teaching them how to do that.

330
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 7: So my story, to make a very long story short,

331
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 7: I was with a woman for eighteen years, right. We

332
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 7: never got married just because we didn't think it was

333
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 7: important until the end, but we never got married. Right,

334
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 7: So we were college sweethearts. I was, I'm a I

335
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 7: still am a musician. I'm a Grammy nominated musician, and

336
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 7: that's all I'll go into about that. But she was

337
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 7: a college to career type person, right, And so I've

338
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 7: done awesome things in music, like stuff that people they

339
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 7: can try for a thousand years and they'll never do it.

340
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, maybe they can do it's possible

341
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 7: to do, but it's not very common that people get

342
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 7: to the heights that I got to. So, but that

343
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 7: doesn't necessarily bring in a bunch of money like what

344
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 7: people might think it does, you know. So to summarize

345
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 7: the story, around year like maybe sixteen or so, she

346
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 7: finally got a really really good career, started making a

347
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 7: lot of money, and started out pacing me. I've never

348
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 7: been a bum. She never during that entire time, had

349
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 7: to pay any of my bills or anything like that.

350
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 7: But she wanted to get to the point where we

351
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 7: were going on vacation all the time, buying a house.

352
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 7: Her sister got married, and then she finally wanted to

353
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 7: get married, but she didn't really take it too seriously

354
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: until then. And I just feel like if I had

355
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 7: someone there to slap me in the face and teach me, hey,

356
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 7: this girl loves you. It doesn't matter if she's saying

357
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 7: that she doesn't want to get married. She's not gonna

358
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 7: tell you no. If you ask her, you should just

359
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 7: do it. You should marry this girl, and you should another.

360
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna call her regret because I don't regret

361
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 7: my music career at all. But I've always been an

362
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 7: artist with the day job, and I feel like it

363
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 7: would have served me a lot better to get an actual,

364
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 7: like non musical career that actually makes like great money

365
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 7: and still do music on the side, because thinking of

366
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 7: it retroactively, I could have done that. But I've always

367
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 7: just been a dreamer and so like I'm I'm also

368
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 7: very tunnel vision. So when there's something that I want,

369
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 7: I go for that I obsess over. And so you know,

370
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 7: I did pretty well for myself, but ended up losing

371
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 7: my woman of eighteen years. So yeah, shout out to

372
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 7: people that are teaching their sons how to do it

373
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 7: the right way. And if you're one of those people

374
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 7: that aren't teaching their kids how to do it the

375
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 7: right way, well then you suck and you should get right.

376
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: See how did you lose your woman of eighteen years?

377
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 4: Uh?

378
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 10: She started?

379
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 7: She in her words, she would say that I wasn't

380
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 7: showing up for her. She was she wanted to like

381
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 7: go on a lot of vacations and buy a house

382
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 7: and you know, dude, we were a very very non

383
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 7: traditional couple for the longest time life. For to put

384
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 7: in a perspective, we lived in Montrose for twelve years,

385
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 7: So like, where did you live? We lived on like

386
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,120

Speaker 2: in that apartment complex directly across. Yes, it has a

00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: burgundy awning out front.

390
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 7: Mmm. So we broke up like two years ago. I'm

391
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 7: not Yeah, I mean I think it does if I

392
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 7: remember correctly.

393
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just south of there that that corner lot

394
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: is Dimitri Fedacaucas's parking lot. He and his staff all

395
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 2: park over there because they don't have enough parking on

396
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 2: their own property. How about that? What do you do

400
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 7: an actual career, which I did. Now I work for Comcast.

Speaker 7: a temporary line. Is it hard work, Yes, but I

00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 7: love physical labor.

00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: Good for you, Hey, real quick? What was the music

411
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,960

00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: you an instrumentalist? What was your deal?

413
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 7: I used to be in a pretty popular band. I

414
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 7: don't want to say the name, but I wasn't a

415
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 7: popular band. But the Grammy nomination.

00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: Was it Grady Gains?

419
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 7: Uh? Uh? You know, I'm pretty sure the majority of

420
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 7: your audience has never heard of it. But I still

421
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 7: don't want to say.

422
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: Hmm, how come you owe money?

423
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 7: I don't know her money.

424
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Oh her, Yolanda Adams.

425
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 7: I don't know Yolanda Adams anything.

426
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: No I said you said her, so I guessed it

427
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: was Yolanda Adams.

428
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 7: I have no idea what you're referring to right now?

429
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 2: Did you play with you? What's your instrument.

430
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 7: I played the bass, bass guitar, yep.

431
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: You know who else played the bass? Who was super Fly?

432
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: I mean Bobby? Uh? Bobby Walmac played bass.

433
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I didn't know that.

00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: Goods now only.

435
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 8: Many more fis coptic values, FA million dollar record sale.

436
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm home now. I hope that I won't be that.

437
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: You show love through love, we don't do that. We

438
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: show love through sacrifice. So a lot of.

439
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Times we'll be loving you and you don't even know.

440
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: For example, right we're sitting on the couch at home,

441
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: cuddled up chilling watching movies.

442
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: You got your leg on top of my leg. I

443
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: don't want your leg there.

444
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: At no point in time during this movie, am I gonna?

445
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 9: Baby?

446
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: You don't make this better.

447
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: If I had no feeling from the hip down, that

448
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: would really prove my movie watching situation. If I had

449
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: like one leg with blood in it, right, and then

450
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: one Lieutenant Dan, that will be perfect. Now I want

451
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: to ask you to take your leg off my leg,

452
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: but you can't.

453
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 3: Mean you gotta grow.

454
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: There's no way you have asked that.

455
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: And then it goes well right, no matter how nice

456
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: you say it.

457
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: Oh baby, you know your legs.

458
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: Are made of clouds.

459
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 9: Uh, let me get that out there.

460
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: Amazing, and not even the cumulan nimbus ones, like the

461
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: thin ones like the little you don't even know.

462
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 9: Is that a cloud? And what is it?

463
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 6: Right?

464
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 9: It's like.

465
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: I was just wondering if you could take your little

466
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: cloud fig and give me some sunshine.

467
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 11: You can say that, but all she hears is get

468
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 11: your fat dinosaur thigh off of me.

469
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 7: You beast?

470
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: Holy? Are you a centaur? Is that what you are?

471
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 11: Because you look like a human, but your legs feel.

472
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: Like a horse? Holy sea biscuit?

473
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 6: But the.

474
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 11: Your legs should be hanging in a Spanish restaurant when

475
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 11: they shaved him off of it.

476
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: That's what your legs here, you're.

477
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 11: May out of how Mon said, I know that's what

478
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 11: you are, So instead we just sit there, let you

479
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 11: crush our leg. You ever wonder why every old man

480
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 11: is a cane?

481
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 10: You know.

482
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: It is true. We are so different men and women.

483
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: We are so different. And I can't tell you, in

484
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: the course of my life how many friends I have

485
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: watched this situation play out where the wife is saying often,

486
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: you know, if we have couples over, the wives will

487
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: say to my wife, you know things like you know,

488
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: Steve doesn't show me that he loves me. Steve doesn't

489
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: he doesn't. I mean, I'm sure he does. He doesn't

490
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: show me he loves me. And you know, Michael, he

491
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: tells you he loves you, and none that is like.

492
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: He talks for a living. It's what he does. It's

493
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: really all he does. Your man gases up your vehicle,

494
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 2: he cleans it for you. He fixes everything around the house.

495
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: He uh drives the kids places, he protects you. He

496
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: does this, he does this, he does this, he does this.

497
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 2: That's him showing you. Michael doesn't do those things. He talks.

498
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: That's what he does. If you want Michael, then none

499
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: of those other things get done. She's very honest with people,

500
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: and it's true. Men are typically not as expressive as

501
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: women and often don't feel the need to say words

502
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: because it is obvious. You know that thing I did

503
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: and never said a word. I got up early and

504
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: you know, fix this for you. Or I got up

505
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 2: early and did this for you. Or I stayed late

506
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: and worked hard so we'd have more money because you

507
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: wanted that dress, or you know whatever else. Men will

508
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: like in an unspoken way, do things to provide for

509
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: their wife and kids and never say a word about it.

510
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: Never ask for a compliment, never ask for a thank you,

511
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: never asked it even be acknowledged. But that is to

512
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: use the term love language. I know it's such a

513
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: feminine term, but it's true. That is so true, and

514
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: I think it's important for women to understand that love

515
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: is expressed in ways other than verbally. Two animals can

516
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: show each other that they are amorous. Most animals in

517
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: the wild are not committed to long term relationships, but

518
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: there are species who are, but they do express feelings

519
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: for each other without ever needing words. Words are something

520
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: we're fortunate to have, but not every species has this

521
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 2: verbal form of communication. Now that's not to say that

522
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: some of them are and the other one's like, oh

523
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: you dirty man, Yes, yes I'm in, and they're like,

524
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: go god. He's like, oh I knew it. I knu Yeah,

525
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: it's about to be on, and they're like, where's my

526
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: berry white? Put on my very white. But we have

527
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: the opportunity to express ranges of emotion, depth of emotion,

528
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: forms of most all of these things we can do.

529
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: The problem is some of us are real good at lifting,

530
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: and some of us are real good at ciphering, engineering, fixing, repairing,

531
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: whatever that may be. And some of us are good

532
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: at stringing words together, and unfortunately, I think too many

533
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: women and I'm not beating on you girls, Unfortunately I

534
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: think too many women view the ability to stream together words.

535
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: They confuse that with a depth of love. When your

536
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: man loves you more than anybody. And I watched that

537
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: because my dad was not a verbally expressive man. But boy,

538
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: is he a loving man. And he does it by

539
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: actions and he expects you to see from that what

540
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: that means. Susan writes Zar, I kissed a lot of

541
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: frogs before I found my friend, my prince. I realized

542
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: I was just kissing frogs. I lost my prince on

543
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: December second, that's two months ago, Remo, so this is

544
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: the first Valentine's Day without him. He was the most

545
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: giving person I ever knew, and he was so thoughtful

546
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: with what he gave to you. I was blessed to

547
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: have fifteen years with him. Hug your loved ones longer

548
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: and harder, Susan Shifflet, because we don't know when they're gone.

549
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: Our dear friend, Connie Stagner and her Valentine, Billy Stagner

550
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: are at a Corey Diamonds in Friendswood today, and you know,

551
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: she told me what The deal was she does this

552
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: thing on Valentine's Day every day that if you come

553
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: down on Valentine's Day and you purchase jewelry for your wife,

554
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: you get a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates,

555
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: and a card. So it's kind of a kind of

556
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: makes it easy on you because you're out there. Otherwise

557
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 2: we were paying. We were playing pickleball last night and

558
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: a buddy of ours I won't say his name because

559
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to get him trouble. I don't know

560
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: if his wife listens or not. But my calf started.

561
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: Uh now, I'm not It's not wasn't my hamstring it

562
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't anything like that, but it hurt. My calf

563
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: was hurting because I had worked out in the afternoon

564
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: and I did these goofy little things. I don't know,

565
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: if you go up on your toes and you lift

566
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: the back of your foot up and anyway, So my

567
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: calf was hurting. And so after I think five games,

568
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: I said, guys, I can't play the can't play the

569
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: tie break. Yes, I can't play it because I'm afraid

570
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: I've torn my calf. I don't want to make it

571
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: any worse. And he said, Michael, honestly, I'm grateful because

572
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: I need to go get my wife's Valentine's Day present

573
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: and the four of us, so the other two I'd

574
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 2: taken care of my business already. The other two were like,

575
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: uh oh, we we kind of probably need to do

576
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: that too, because his wife had the expectation of what

577
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: time he'd be home, and if we were going to

578
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: quit early, that would give him time to go handle

579
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: his business. So if you need to be connected with
