What does it looked like? Ooh, we ain't 231 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 5: not playing that game. Yeah, yeah, I saw one running 232 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 5: away from forty five. I did. I saw one running 233 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: away from forty five. But I didn't want to make 234 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 5: any assumptions or nothing like that, and or nothing. I 235 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: didn't want to upset anybody. But yeah, the trailer is blue. 236 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: Trailer is blue. And the guy that was sitting on 237 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 5: top of it for a while I was wearing a 238 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 5: red shirt. He's not there anymore. Yeah, that's all you needed. 239 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 5: A very show. Please clap, please, please clap. 240 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 14: When your baby, please annoy a nobody call. 241 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 5: The I don't you feel like a cry? 242 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 4: She was in labor, and he was annoyed. Not because 243 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 4: his wife was in pain, mind you, but because she 244 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: was interrupting his piano practice. He was a classically trained musician, 245 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 4: and the baby coming into the world that night was 246 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: no Beethoven. He was sure of it, too much, too 247 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 4: much fuss. He preferred structure, scales, silence, but that baby 248 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 4: had other plans. From the moment that baby could stand, 249 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,479 Speaker 4: he didn't walk. He strutted. He banked pots like drums, 250 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 4: and howled along with the radio like a wounded cat 251 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 4: and heat. By the time he was a teenager, the 252 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 4: neighbors had nicknamed him that noisy boy down the block. 253 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 5: He liked. 254 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 4: And in school he didn't fit in. He wasn't the 255 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 4: quarterback or the mathlete. He was the kid in the 256 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 4: back of the class, sketching skulls on his notebooks and 257 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 4: humming yardbird riffs under his breath. He tried being a 258 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: drummer once, but the sticks couldn't keep up with his spirit. 259 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 4: He had to be out front, center stage, not just 260 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 4: seen heard. So he found some other misfits, glued feathers 261 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 4: to his mic stand, painted his pants on, and screamed 262 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 4: his way into rock history. He blew out speaker, burned 263 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 4: through hotel rooms, and danced like a marionette set on fire. 264 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: They called him a madman, a rock god. He called 265 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 4: it Tuesday, and just when the critics thought he was 266 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 4: a footnote from the seventies, he leaned back, hid a 267 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 4: note nobody expected, and reminded the world that some legends 268 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 4: don't fade, They just grow louder in the memory. He 269 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 4: may not how like he once did, but the echo 270 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 4: he left behind still rattles the rafters. So ultimately his 271 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 4: father was right. He was no Beethoven. He was louder, 272 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 4: louder in voice and spirit and everything. Where Beethoven had orchestras, 273 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 4: he had marshal stacks, where Beethoven moves souls. He rattled bones. 274 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 4: He didn't write concertos, He let them on fire air 275 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 4: and strutted through the smoke. Beethoven wore tales. This one 276 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 4: wore scarves and eyeliner, and still millions listened, millions felt something, 277 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: not in a concert hall, but in a garage, a basement, 278 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 4: at midnight drive with the windows down. He didn't compose 279 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 4: for the elite. He screamed for the restless. Steven Tyler 280 00:19:27,640 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 4: or in March twenty sixth, nineteen forty eight, Happy birthday, stepd. 281 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 5: Part of me says, little buddy, you should have more 282 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 5: late night bourbon fueled creative moments, because I always enjoy 283 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 5: what you put together. Part of me says is he 284 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 5: creating demo tapes right in front of my very eyes, 285 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 5: to go off and do his own show. Maybe don't. 286 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: Maybe what if we play one of those he gets discovered. Huh, 287 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 5: has something to think about right there, That is something 288 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: to think about. So Jim Mackingveil known to the world 289 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 5: as Mattress Mac, has a voicemail. He contacted me yesterday. 290 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 5: I can't remember what it was. And I called him 291 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 5: back and he always picks up, but this time he 292 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 5: didn't pick up, and I was listening to his voicemail. 293 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 11: Do you have it? 294 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 5: I think Jim loaded it. I was listening to his voicemail. Well, 295 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 5: if Jim didn't load it, we'll fire him, he said. 296 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 5: He says something in his voicemail that don't send me 297 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 5: an email because I don't read him. I don't have 298 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 5: time to read them because I'm focused on the people 299 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 5: right in front of me and taking care of the customers. 300 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 5: And I thought about that for a good hour afterwards, 301 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 5: because it was a metaphor for something. How many times 302 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 5: do you walk into a store, and especially if it's 303 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 5: not owner operated, or even in that case, sometimes the 304 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 5: owner's not there. You walk into a store and the 305 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 5: employees were supposed to be there to help you are 306 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 5: off talking, especially if they're young, they're off geegan talking 307 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 5: to each other what they're gonna do, and it's almost 308 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 5: like it's a hassle for you for them to help you. 309 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 5: Like God got to help that guy too, because he 310 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 5: came in the door. But that's the whole reason that 311 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 5: place exists, is the person who comes in the door. 312 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 5: Are you call ABIs nobody answers?

But I thought, I'll call the store. I 319 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 5: just want to see how the store answers were not called. 320 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 5: And it was a chirpy young lady and she picked 321 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 5: up Ace Hardware Langham Creek.

She was not able 325 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 5: to put him on the phone, because clearly, even if 326 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 5: I'm selling him life insurance, I needed to talk to him. 327 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 5: And I said, well, I'm about to head out and 328 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 5: visit with him.

And I said, oh, I 337 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: felt so quaint. This was like nineteen seventies. I've called 338 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 5: a person that speaks English as their first language has answered. 339 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 5: They seem happy to help me and answer my questions. 340 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 5: This is the this is the moment in the movie 341 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 5: where the naive employee is giving away information that causes 342 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 5: the person to be kidnapped, right because they're not sufficiently 343 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 5: so sophisticated that they're not answering your questions and they're 344 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 5: hanging up on you. And so we talked for a 345 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: while and I thought, Wow, that's a throwback. That's kind 346 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 5: of ace hardware, you know, the helpful hardware man kind 347 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 5: of thing. But who very few places you call a 348 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 5: Corey Diamonds. You're gonna you're gonna get honey, but most 349 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 5: places you don't get a human anymore. Anyway, it just 350 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: struck me that Mac is saying in his voicemail exactly 351 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 5: what I feel, which is, know your priorities, no matter 352 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 5: how big, how important, how many couches beds that he sells. 353 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 5: He knows that the most important thing is a person 354 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 5: walking through the door. How many people understand that? 355 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: Is the Michael Barrys shows. 356 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 5: Who can't get over that He's no Beethoven? 357 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 4: Did you. 358 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 5: You must have been hitting the sauce hard to just 359 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 5: sit down and write that you did it sober For 360 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 5: Steven Tyler, Oh my goodness, Brandon writes a note on 361 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 5: crying in baseball. My parents dedicated countless hours watching me 362 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 5: play from T ball through my high school years. Dad 363 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 5: even coached several of my Little league teams and spent 364 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 5: so much time sacrificing his own body while I developed 365 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 5: into a pitcher. I don't care if it came from 366 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 5: Tom Hanks or Penny Marshall or George Patton. You can 367 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 5: cry in baseball. Ask anybody who was there when lou 368 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 5: gerrig delivered his retirement speech. Ask anyone who watched Gibbey's 369 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 5: broken body walk it off for the Dodgers in eighty eight. 370 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 5: He didn't walk it off. He jogged. While he's starting 371 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 5: the chainsaw man. You can see that even the celebration 372 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 5: is exacerbating the pain, but he doesn't care because this 373 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 5: is the moment. More recently, how about the Astros Game 374 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 5: five in the seventeen series. Those are just the professional moments, 375 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 5: not the millions of others made between parents and kids 376 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 5: for the true American pastime. No crying in baseball is 377 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 5: the led Zeppelin effect. People repeat it because they think 378 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 5: they have to. And a happy birthday to Tennessee williams. 379 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 5: Oh I was kidding when I said there's no I 380 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 5: said there's no. I know there's no crying in baseball. 381 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 5: But if you have not, you just tuned in. If 382 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 5: you have not seen the video of Joe Espada the 383 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 5: call up with Cam Smith where they have his mom 384 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 5: come walking in and he realizes that he's been called 385 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 5: up to the bigs and that his mom is there 386 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 5: for the moment. I think that was as much. I 387 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 5: think he expected he'd be called up. It's just going 388 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 5: to happen, I me. I think he's first four at bats, 389 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 5: he had two home runs and two walks or something. 390 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 5: It just play discipline and extreme power. Wow. But you know, 391 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 5: so much of life the older I get is having 392 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: the sense to slow down. There are so many things 393 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 5: whizzing around us, having the good sense to slow down 394 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 5: for a moment. So I spend time with my dad 395 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 5: every afternoon at the old Folks Home, and one of 396 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 5: the things that strikes you rather quickly is that the 397 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 5: people are talking to each other and it goes something 398 00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 5: like this, but hell, hell, hell, huh what s she said? 399 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 5: What time is gonna eat? Uh? Five? Five? Think five? 400 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 5: What they said? Five? Well they have to do huh? 401 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 5: Well they have what. I can't hear you. I can't. 402 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 5: I can't hear what you're saying. What what is she saying? Uh? 403 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 5: She's wants to know what they're serving this evening? Oh 404 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 5: was shoot, I don't know, Heck, I don't know. Probably 405 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 5: the same thing they had yesterday. She's just she said, 406 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 5: she was just she's not trying to side. If she's 407 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 5: gonna eat in a room or in the living room, huh, 408 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 5: she's she's trying to nothing. Huh. Well that's what I said, 409 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 5: you know. But in the midst of all of that, 410 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 5: they're actually interacting with each other. And it's amazing. You know, everybody. 411 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 5: Crazy things happen in the course of every person's life, 412 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 5: and that's always been the case. You know, the wheel 413 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 5: was invented during some new's lifetime and that changed everything. 414 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 5: But in the course of my lifetime, we went from 415 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 5: nobody had a cell phone to everybody had a cell phone. 416 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: You go into rural villages in India where they eat 417 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 5: a little bit of rice and a little bit of 418 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 5: doll every day, and that's it. No shoes, they got 419 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 5: a cell phone. Everybody's got a cell phone. It's crazy. 420 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 5: But the important part of that is that the phone 421 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 5: didn't do this. We did it to ourselves. So here 422 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 5: is Mattress Mack's voicemail message. I think there is incredible 423 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 5: wisdom in this. Give this a listen. Ohing. 424 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 15: I'm currently with a customer. Please don't leave a voicemail. 425 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 15: I will see your collar ID on the phone and 426 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 15: call you back. Please don't try to FaceTime me. I'm 427 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 15: too old, I'm too tired, I'm too involved in this 428 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 15: game of pleasing customers. FaceTime anybody and. 429 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 5: Don't email me. 430 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 15: I don't read the emails. I take care of customers 431 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 15: all the time. I'll see your caller ID, I'll call 432 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 15: you back.

On your gallery furns 434 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 15: your temper petit mattress. 435 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 5: At the tone, please record your message. So Chance McLean 436 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 5: sent me something he was reading my full named George 437 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 5: mac I don't know who he is. And it's called 438 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 5: high agency. And because we're such an attention deficit society, 439 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 5: it says high agency in thirty minutes. I follow some 440 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 5: sites that I read columns and perspectives and opinion, and 441 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 5: they tell you how long it's going to take to 442 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 5: read it before you read it. And I'm ashamed to 443 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 5: admit I love that. In high agency, he describes as 444 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 5: the most important idea of the twenty first century, it's 445 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 5: the sense that you were in complete control of your life. 446 00:30:54,800 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 5: And he talks about the person with high agency your 447 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 5: life is the person that if you were wrongfully imprisoned 448 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 5: in a third world country would be the one person 449 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 5: you would call because they would get you out. And 450 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 5: he's this is the line I wanted to get to. 451 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 5: High agency can be a confusing idea to understand because 452 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 5: it's not just one idea. It's a combination of three 453 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 5: distinct skills rarely found together. Number one clear thinking, number 454 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 5: two bias to action, and number three disagreeability. And here's 455 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 5: what I have come to learn. Donald Trump is very disagreeable. 456 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 5: To the swamp, for the Democrats, to the media, Mac 457 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 5: is very disagreeable. People will sometimes tell me if Hillman, 458 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 5: Fertida or Mac or Trump or someone else that that 459 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 5: per Mac goes. You know, everybody thinks he's an ass. 460 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 5: He has to be an ass. If you are going along, 461 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 5: you're just You're just being pushed along with the herd. 462 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 5: In order to have high agency, in order to take 463 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 5: control your life, in order to be great at what 464 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 5: you do in every aspect of your life, you have 465 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 5: to break all the rules. You have to refuse to 466 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 5: play by the rules. You have to turn down the 467 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 5: meetings and the conference calls, you have to turn down 468 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 5: the I'll do it because you know everybody else is 469 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 5: doing it. Disagreeable can be a great trait
