1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Jack Jack, Are you okay? What was that? Pedro? It's 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: one more thing. I'm strong and Getty one more thing. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: That was like a Eddie Murphy movie where he was 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: playing four parts. 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: Before I get to that story that I told my 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: kids the other night, and I thought i'd tell on 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: the radio. I was just remarking, I was watching one 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: of the NFL games last weekend, and they kept showing 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator in the booth with like five other 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: guys and six TV monitors and headsets on, and how 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: they come up with the play through the computer algorithms 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: and then get it to the off the coach and 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: then he gets it to the quarterback and his head set. Yeah, 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: and thinking about how when I was a kid, Terry 15 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: Bradshaw won four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers, calling 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: plays in the huddle on his own completely like he's 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: completely calling his own plays. Now, I realized that's forty 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: five years ago. But man, it's just it's a completely 19 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: different sport than that. 20 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, with the you know, enormous audiences on TV 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: and in person and exorbitant ticket prices and they're just 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: raking in money. And I was also thinking that whole 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. You're up there in the booth and you 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: and like ten other people and stuff looking at computer 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: monitors and wearing headsets and wearing khaki pants and hard 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: shoes or whatever. Do you feel like you're part of 27 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: a sports team or is it more or less the 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: same feeling as if you worked at a I don't know, 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: for an insurance company and you're crunching the latest numbers 30 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 2: and you decided to do this. I just, oh, no, 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: I think it's a sports teamy, just because the pace 32 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: You've got seconds to make that decision, get it down 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: to the field, and then you see the fruits of 34 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: your latest decision immediately and adjust from there. It's super intense. 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: Well I'm sure it's intense, but you're not on the 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: sideline with the players. I don't know. I just think 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: it would be a different thing than I don't know. 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: And they all assume get super Bowl rings when they win. 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. The secretaries in the front 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: office get ranked. 41 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: Anyway, so the whole jack jack Are you all right? 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: What was that? Pedro? So I'm reading Old Yeller. My 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: son and I are reading it together, really good book. 44 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I ever read it. 45 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: So Old Yeller is a decent description for a middle 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: aged talk show host. It occurs to me, no. 47 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: Trouble liberals a couple of old Yellers. Anyway, in one 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: chapter of Old Yeller, the main character there who ends 49 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: up shooting Old Yeller gets stampeded by cattle. And I 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: mentioned to my son that that happened to me one 51 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: time before, and he was quite shocked by that. And 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: I know I've told this story before, but not for many, 53 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: many years. And it's got a legal immigration twist to it. 54 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: I worked with a lot of not a lot of 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: a handful of illegal immigrants when I worked in feed 56 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: lots when I was in high school. Gladys, can you 57 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: play that? Yeah, this is going back to my high school. 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: At that time, it was still mostly local high school 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: kids that worked these jobs with a handful of illegal immigrants. 60 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: From what I understand, since then, it's all immigrants, illegal 61 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: or not, and it's not a job you could get 62 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: as a high school kid. Anyway, I'm working there at 63 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: the feed lot and it was one guy I worked with, 64 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: the Pedro, super good dude, really hard worker. I loved 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: working with him. Whenever I got teamed up with him, 66 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: like if we were bailing a all day long. Man. 67 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: He was tough as hell and could really sling hay 68 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: bails around, never got tired. Good dude. I liked working 69 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: with him, but he didn't speak English, and he was 70 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: a nice guy to me. I just treat him like 71 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: I treat him anywhere anybody else. A lot of the 72 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: like the head cowboy though, and a lot of the 73 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: other people. They'd make him ride in the back of 74 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: the truck, wouldn't matter if it was freezing, cold, raining 75 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: outside whatever. He had to ride in the bed of 76 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: the truck as we drove around. 77 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: Wow. 78 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: Which not cool. But you know, I didn't think much 79 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: of it. As a fourteen year old. I wasn't you know. 80 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: I was just doing what I was told. But he 81 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: was a good dude, and we worked together a lot. 82 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: And I remember one time one of the guys brought 83 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: up to said at lunch, said, hey, Pedro, what do 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: you think of the border patrol? He said, fuck the 85 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: border patrol. Wow. And this story is taking a dark turn. 86 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: I did, but super good dude. And one other guy 87 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: who is a cowboys, like the best cowboy I ever 88 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: saw riding horses and stuff like that and with a lasso. 89 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: Really cool dude. He was also from Mexico. So I'm 90 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: chasing this. I heard it all these like a couple 91 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: hundred cattle into this pen in this alley they call it. 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: It's a long, thin pet. As you're heading up somewhere else, 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: they started to turn around and come back. His cattle 94 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: off and do they have a herd mentality? Cattle? And 95 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they started to turn around and run 96 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: back toward and they were gonna get out. So I 97 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: had to run and close the gate before they got out, 98 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: because then we're gonna have a mess and we have 99 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: to bring in the cowboys and round them all up 100 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: and get them a cycle. So I'm running as fast 101 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: as I can to try to get the gate shut 102 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: before they're running back towards this gate. I get to 103 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: the gate just in time to slam it shut, but 104 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: I didn't quite get it slam shut, and they hit 105 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: the gate, oh the cattle, and it knocked me over backwards, 106 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: and then it was just nothing but dust and hoofs 107 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and noise. I'm rolled up in a ball on the 108 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: ground and there's just hooves founding all around me as 109 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: they all ran past me, and uh and dust everywhere, 110 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: And luckily I didn't get stepped on, or I don't 111 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: know how I didn't get stepped on. I could have 112 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: been killed pretty easily. I was mostly hurt. I had 113 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: the wind knocked out of me from the gate, hitting 114 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: me so hard in the chest, and I went over background, 115 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: so I was having trouble getting my breath. So I 116 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: was more worried about that than the cattle stepping on 117 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: me at that moment. Plus I'm a kid and I'm stupid. 118 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: But Pedro comes running over Jackjack, Are you all right? Jack? 119 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: Are you okay? This guy that I didn't think could 120 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: speak a word of English. The bosses was always just 121 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: like shrugged his shoulders, didn't understand what they were saying. 122 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: At least that much spoke perfectly. I was like, yeah, 123 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm okay, Pedro, you can talk. What's the deal? Am 124 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: I dreaming? Yeah? Exactly? It was so odd. 125 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 3: Maybe it's just pretending he didn't speak English. 126 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was obviously pretending he didn't speak English, 127 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: so he just didn't have. 128 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: To deal with the Well, not only that, if your 129 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: bosses assume that, then they'll say things around him.
