And so folks would say, well, 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 3: on Saturday, I you know, kind of like you all 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: to be part of my life again. So we started 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 3: doing a Saturday bonus podcast and it's a lot of 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: fun because we debate back and forth. We tend to 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: do longer form stuff that we can't get into the 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 3: segment links during the week. So tomorrow, oh, is our 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: tribute to the United States Army on the two hundred 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: and fiftieth birthday of our United States Army, which started. 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 3: The first call up was the Massachusetts Militia.

Every one of you 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: out there who served the United States Army, thank you. 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: But we wanted to take a story to hear. We 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: want to take a moment to hear the story of 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 3: the brave men and women who serve We'll get back 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: to Father's Day and continue to serve this country with 35 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: selfless honor. 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 4: June fourteenth, seventeen seventy five, a full year before the 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 4: declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress took a bold step 38 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 4: authorizing the creation of the Continental Army to defend the 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: American colonies against British rule. Leading this new force none 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 4: other than George Washington, who was appointed commander in chief 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: just two days later. At first, it was a patchwork 42 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 4: of state militias volunteers from Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, but 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 4: over time these soldiers became a unified force fighting for liberty. 44 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 4: After the Revolutionary War ended in seventeen eighty three, most 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 4: of the Army disbanded, but the need for a standing 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 4: military remained. With the ratification of the Constitution in seventeen 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: eighty nine, the US Army became a permanent institution, under 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 4: civilian control and answerable to the people. From the battlefields 49 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 4: of Gettysburg to the beaches of Normandy, through Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, 50 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 4: and Afghanistan, the US Army has stood at the front lines, 51 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 4: defending freedom at home and abroad. Today, the Army isn't 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: just about combat. It's about service, technology, diplomacy, and leadership. 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 4: It's one of the largest and most advanced fighting forces 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 4: in the world, with soldiers stationed in over one hundred 55 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 4: and forty countries. And it all began on June fourteenth, 56 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: seventeen seventy five. This is the story of the United 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: States Army, a story of courage, sacrifice, and service to 58 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 4: a nation. 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 3: I got a stack of emails I received this week 60 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: from folks who took the time at my request to 61 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: send me their Father's Day tributes, And I want you 62 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: to know I won't be able to read them all, 63 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 3: but I won't be able to read them all on 64 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: the air. But I did read all of them, and 65 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: I appreciate you taking the time to share those with me, 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: and I really enjoy I really enjoy listening reading them, 67 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: receiving them. Joshua Bennett wrightch My dad, Richard Bennett, was 68 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: a US Navy veteran. He never thought that deserved attention 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: because he didn't go to war. He came from a 70 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: home so abusive that he left at seventeen. Yet he 71 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: still taught me how to be a man with love 72 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: and honor, even though he never had such an example 73 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: in his life. Cancer took him in twenty twenty. He 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: will always be the greatest man I ever knew to 75 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: this day, went in doubt. I try to do what 76 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: I think he would do. Thank you for giving me 77 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: a moment to honor him. Jordan Peterson said something that's 78 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: a that in this several years since I heard it 79 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: has meant a lot to me. And he said, your 80 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: goal should be to be the strongest man at your 81 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: father's funeral. And and I don't know, I didn't think 82 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: much of that line. It stuck with me, but I 83 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: didn't know why. And then my brother died suddenly a 84 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: couple years ago, and I summoned. I don't know from where, 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 3: because I'm a crier. George H. W. Bush used to 86 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: say that he was a crier. He said, you know, 87 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 3: we bushes, we're criers. We cry, We're emotional people, and 88 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: I'm a crier. But at my brother's funeral, I was 89 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: suddenly strong. And I don't know where that strength came from. 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 3: And I've gone back to Jordan. I think that comes 91 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: from the strength of your father. My brother was strong. 92 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. This was something I thought about home. 93 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: So a funny thing, A funny thing happens. 94 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: We do a morning show and then we do this show. 95 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: They're two different shows. About one percent of our content 96 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 3: from the morning. We'll also make it onto the evening. 97 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: If there's there's something we play that we think is 98 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: timely or whatever, we'll play it. But they're mostly two 99 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 3: totally different shows, and a lot of people listen to 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: all five hours for our show a day, so that's 101 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: why we're careful not to reuse things as often as 102 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: we probably otherwise would. But so I'm doing the morning 103 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: show and Ramon plays George Strait's love without end amen 104 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: about this kid coming home from school and he got 105 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: sent home and he was in trouble, and you know 106 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: how a dad's love is love without n amen. And 107 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: I made the point that that song was written by 108 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: Aaron Barker, and Aaron Barker and Alan Shamblin are two 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: of the greatest living songwriters today. 110 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: If there's a song sung. 111 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 3: By John Michael Montgomery or certainly George Strait, there's Dean Dylan, 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 3: there's a handful of guys, and these two are among 113 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: them who have written the soundtrack of your life. And 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 3: they had once done a concert for me in my 115 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: living room where they would I would call out songs 116 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: and they would tell the story behind the song and 117 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: then they would sing it. I always enjoy listening to 118 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 3: a songwriter sing the song that they wrote that became 119 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: famous by someone else, because they bring a little something 120 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: different to it. Now, they're not typically great vocalists, they're 121 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: artists in the purest sense. They are the poet of 122 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: our generation. In the same way that Shakespeare or Byron 123 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: were great expressors of emotion, so too are they songwriters 124 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: are the modern day great poet. We should celebrate them 125 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: that way. Sometime at Aaron Barker, which led me to 126 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: Alan Chamblin. Twenty minutes later, I get a text out 127 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: of nowhere. He swears he wasn't listening to the show 128 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: at the time from Alan Shamblin and he says, Hey, 129 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: I know you're talking about You're gonna be talking about 130 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: Father's Day today. This is a song I just wanted 131 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: to share with you. I co wrote this song. This 132 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: is Alan Shamblin talking about with Emily Wise Band and 133 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: Mark Beeson. Nate Smith released it three weeks ago. 134 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: This is the. 135 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: Duet of Nate Smith and Emily Wise Band. The song 136 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: is called Dads Don't Die. 137 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: That was the song. 138 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: You may not have heard it yet, but it's a 139 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 3: pretty cool It's a pretty cool song, so we wanted 140 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: to play it. If you look up Alan A. L. L. E. 141 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: In Shamblin and you see all the songs that you 142 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: love that he wrote, you know, give you a new 143 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: appreciation for the man. And he is pretty amazing as 144 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: a poet, which is what a songwriter is. Janet writes, 145 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: I lost my dad in seventy nine when I was 146 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: only twenty one. 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: He was an army vet and a father of five. 148 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: I only have kid memories, though, because while he was 149 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: sick in seventy nine, he wiped away a tear when 150 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: I told my parents I got a small scholarship. 151 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: I was the first of my family to go to college. 152 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: He was a jokester. Why not. 153 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: He put his head through our doggy door and about 154 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: scared my mother to death and with me about eleven 155 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: years old, he followed me to an outhouse my Norwegian 156 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: great aunt had had behind her home, and when I. 157 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: Tried to get out, the door wouldn't budget. I truly panicked. 158 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: When I finally pushed that sucker over open, he was 159 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: trolling around the house as if he were an innocent man. 160 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. 161 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 3: Jennet Joy writes, My daddy was an amazing man and 162 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: would help anyone out. He was the constable in our town, 163 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 3: city inspector and the fire marshal. He also owned small businesses. 164 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: He taught us to be hard workers, to be honest, 165 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: to help people when we could, but most of all, 166 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: to love God and our family. His name was Ovi 167 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: Rinch Wrench, pronounced like a wrench. For years after he died, 168 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: so many people told me that he was their best friend. 169 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: Joy Heismith down in Texas in Lagrange, Scott Gann wrote, 170 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: my father will be eighty one years old in less 171 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: than a month. If the Lord lets him get there. 172 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: For him to see eighty two will take nothing less 173 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: than the hand of God. 174 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: He's fading. He took the whole story. He wrote a 175 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: long story. 176 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 3: It's too long here, But Scott, a coal miner, said 177 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: he wrote a song. I'll play it at some point 178 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: about his father and about being a coal miner. Dennis 179 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 3: Smith wrote me a nice long story about his biological 180 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: father for whom he is named, and his family's story. 181 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 3: I have marked that to read to you at a 182 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: later date, because I won't be able to get it 183 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 3: into this segment. Thomas writes, what I remember most of 184 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: my childhood with my father was his massive hands. 185 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: He was six foot five, about two sixty. 186 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 3: But his hands gave only love, a rub on the 187 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 3: cheek or a rub on my hair, never in discipline. 188 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 3: His father's leather belt hung in his closet, and only 189 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: because of his love for me. When it came out, 190 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: I knew I had gone too far out of bounds. 191 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: Thank you for prodding me to remember that my father's 192 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: ninety five. I took his forty five, but I gave 193 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 3: him a burnha l E. That's the less lethal launchers 194 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: that I talk about that you can carry anywhere, and 195 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: they're legal in fifty states. And I'm not going to 196 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: do a spiel for it, but I do believe in them, 197 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 3: and a lot of our listeners have replaced their dad's 198 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: pistol with a burna or their dad's in a place 199 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 3: where they're not allowed to have a gun, and so 200 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: they carry those. Britt writes, my father was a great man. 201 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: He showed me religion and taught me that there is 202 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 3: a God that is merciful, loving, and forgiving. He got 203 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: me interested in joining the Boy Scouts. He set the 204 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 3: example of what it meant to be a man. To 205 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: take responsibility for my actions, for my decisions, to accept 206 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: the consequences of them, to forgive, to help someone because 207 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: we all need help at some point in our lives. 208 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: To treat a lady with respect and show her how 209 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: much you appreciate her. To protect and provide for my family. 210 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: That there's nothing better than having someone to love and 211 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 3: grow old with. To lead by example because others are watching. 212 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: To set goals and always work hard, achieving them to 213 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 3: be honest with yourself and others at all times. I'm 214 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 3: so grateful for him. 215 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: You've got them Michael Barry Show. 216 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 5: A couple of years ago, I was I was holding 217 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 5: for Father's Day, and you know, they probably breakfast in bed, 218 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 5: and my kids are young, and it wasn't the best breakfast, 219 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 5: but I just remember waking up and being so touched 220 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 5: that the two of them had gotten up early, which 221 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: they don't like to do, and they'd gotten up to 222 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 5: though my two youngs had gotten up early and made 223 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 5: me just a great little breakfast. I mean, I'm still 224 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 5: moved by it. By I thought that was great that 225 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 5: they had gotten up and made me some pancakes and cereal. 226 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: And you know, I wasn't very good by hate at all. 227 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: Jordan Peterson has a message that is as challenging as 228 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 3: it is meaningful. 229 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: I've quoted it a lot. 230 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: Over the last couple of years because I had to 231 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 3: bury my brother and my mother, and it seems like 232 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: all my friends are losing their parents as well. He said, 233 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: you should be the strongest person at your father's funeral. 234 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: He's not talking about suppressing grief. He's talking about rising 235 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: to meet life's hardest moments with courage, dignity and strength. 236 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 3: The passing of your father is the moment that you 237 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: ascend as the man of this family, which may include 238 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: your own mother. 239 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: Still a lot usually does. 240 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: It's such a powerful message, and it meant something to 241 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 3: me at the domin has meant a lot to me 242 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: since then, and maybe it'll mean something to you. 243 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: You should be the strongest person at your father's funeral, right, No, 244 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: that's something named for. It's a transition, the generational transition, 245 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: and it means. 246 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: That well. 247 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 2: To all the people around you are suffering because of 248 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: their loss, they have someone to turn to who can 249 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: illustrate by their behavior that the force of character is 250 00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: sufficient to move you beyond the catastrophe. You need that, 251 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: and that's a great thing too, that's a great thing 252 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: to hypothesizes your aim. 253 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: It's so true, It is so true. We all carry 254 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 3: the voice of our parents with us. 255 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: But for. 256 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 3: A lot of us, it's your father's encouragement. Sure there's discipline, 257 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: Sure there's toughness. It's your father's support, your father's saying 258 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: you can do this. Here's Jordan Peterson talking about that encouragement, 259 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: which I think you know there's tilling your kid they're 260 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: wonderful all the time and never disciplining them. 261 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: That's not good. 262 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 3: But a kid does need to know that dad believes 263 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: in them. 264 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: What kind of relationship do you have with your father, 265 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: your real father. It's often ambivalent, right, because there is 266 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: an element of him that encouraged you. Hopefully, because without 267 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: the encouragement of your father, man, the world is a 268 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: dismal place. It's very difficult to be a courageous person 269 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: unless you have your father in audience spirit behind you. 270 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: It's very demoralizing, Like it really kills people not to 271 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: have their mother. 272 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: They just don't recover from that. 273 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 2: And I think people can recover from a fragmented father relationship, 274 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: but it's the next worst thing, you know, because if 275 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: your father rejects you or doesn't form a relationship with you, 276 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: it's as if the spirit of civilization has left you 277 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 2: outside the walls as of little worth. It's very difficult 278 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: for people to recover from that. So the father should 279 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: be an encouraging force, but can be a tyrannical and 280 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: crushing force. And so that's very that's a very difficult 281 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: thing to get right, partly because if you're my son, 282 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: then I should impose the highest standards of behavior on you, 283 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: and I should always be judging what you're doing well. 284 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: I should be judging. 285 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: It with the aim of making the best and you 286 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: come forward. 287 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: But getting that balance. 288 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: Exactly right is very difficult, and so it's easy to 289 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: for a father to swing too much into judgment, let's say, 290 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: and of course mothers can play this role too, to 291 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: swing too far into the domain of judgment and to 292 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: be too hard. To the degree that the father has 293 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: his own pathologies, he's going to do that imperfectly. 294 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: He has a way of bringing a science, you know, 295 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: psychology is a soft science, but bringing a more scientific, 296 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: structured way to talk about things that are really kind 297 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: of soft tissue, highly emotional. There's one other Jordan Peterson 298 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: quote I wanted to share with you on this Father's 299 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: Day about encouragement and what his father gave him. He 300 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: calls it an unshakeable belief that he could accomplish anything 301 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: he said his mind to. 302 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: I've said this many, many times. To the extent that 303 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: I have had success. 304 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: In my life, it is because my father and my mother, 305 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: and my teachers and my coaches and my brothers always 306 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 3: believed in me and told me that I was going 307 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: to do great things, and you know what, I was 308 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: just naive enough to believe that. I felt that was 309 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 3: my destiny. And then I couldn't let them down. I 310 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: couldn't let them down. I knew it was possible that 311 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: I could fail, but that would be up to me. 312 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: They had me slated for greatness, and in order to 313 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: live up to what they told me I could be, 314 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 3: I had to be on the lookout for the next 315 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: best thing. I had to prepare my mind. I had 316 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: to build the right relationships. 317 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: I had to. 318 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: Keep my focus on those sorts of things. I want 319 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: you to think about that as a father. I want 320 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 3: you sorry, Ramona, I paused. I know that one's on me. 321 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 3: I want you to think about that as a father 322 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 3: and ask yourself, even if your children are adults, now 323 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: ask yourself, if you have stated those words, Have you 324 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: made clear to your daughters and your sons that you 325 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: have an unshakeable belief in their goodness and their future success, 326 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: because it's never too late. 327 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 6: Well, my father's a formidable person, and like he was, 328 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 6: he was really he's really, really, really good with little kids. 329 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 6: We had a lot of friction when I was a teenager, 330 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 6: and that took some time to sort out. But there 331 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 6: were complicated reasons for that very some of them involved 332 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 6: ill health of various sorts and teenage stupidity, and you know, 333 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 6: some intransigence on his part, because he's quite a stubborn person. 334 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: But he's both my parents. 335 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 6: I've been blessed with my parents because they're very they're 336 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 6: extraordinarily honest people. I can't think of a time, and 337 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 6: this is literally the truth. I can't think of a 338 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 6: time when I believe that my parents lied to me 339 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 6: about anything. And that's a great gift. The other thing 340 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 6: that my father bequeathed to me, I would say when 341 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 6: I was a child, was an unshakable confidence that I 342 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 6: could do what I put my mind to, put my 343 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 6: efforts to, you know, and he truly believed that. And 344 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 6: there's some that's lodged inside me as a like an 345 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 6: unshapable foundation. 346 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: The Michael Daries Show continues to news us, Well, if you've. 347 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: Been a listener for any period of time, you know 348 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 3: that's our sonic branding that punctuates the week.

I think you're 353 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 3: gonna like our bonus podcast, and includes a speech by 354 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 3: him to Fort Bragg earlier this week. I hope you 355 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 3: have a wonderful Father's Day this weekend. Thought we would 356 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: conclude with a few things on a slightly lighter note. 357 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 3: How about there was a video this guy kind of 358 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 3: a jackass went up to ed Orgeron, who ed Orgeron's 359 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 3: one hundred years old, and the dude is stacked. He's 360 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 3: in better shape than almost any guy you'll see. 361 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: He's got a. 362 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 3: Perfect tan on his bare chest as he's jogging, and 363 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 3: this guy asked him if he can take a photo 364 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 3: with him, and he's very gracious about the photo. When 365 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: people do this to people, I think it's I think 366 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: you're a clown when you do. This guy's nice enough 367 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 3: to take a photo when he really doesn't want to 368 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 3: while he's out jogging, but he does. And the guy 369 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 3: says roll tied, and he thinks it's funny, and Edorzron 370 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 3: doesn't coach O doesn't think it's funny at all. So 371 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 3: he gives him a gumbo fueled uppercut. But he doesn't 372 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 3: he's but he does lecture him a little bit on 373 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 3: showing respect, and he says, would you say go Tiger 374 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 3: to next Saban, which is a good point, right, You 375 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 3: wouldn't do that be disrespectful. I love ed Ozron Orzron 376 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 3: got to spend some time with him. The National Championship year. 377 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 3: I could see hanging out with ed Orzron that that 378 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 3: had to be a fun thing to do. He's he's 379 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: a cool cat. I'm a I'm a I'm a massive 380 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: ed orgs round fan. I'm also a massive Nick Saban fan. 381 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 3: And you can ask Nick Saban about football strategy, recruiting, 382 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 3: maybe even the weather, but you do not ask Nick 383 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: Saban about Father's Day. Here is a classic Nick Saban 384 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 3: moment where a well meaning question is asked about about 385 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 3: his Father's Day plans. I mean, you know, it's it's 386 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 3: a it's a light topic. Coach, don't play that with 387 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: Nick sabans. 388 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 7: How's my Father's Day? I mean it's it's the same 389 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 7: thing every year. Hi, you guys, the same question every year. Yeah, 390 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 7: that's the same question every year. I tell you the 391 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 7: same thing every year? 392 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: All right? How many ties can I get on the 393 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: same day? A right? How many? How many mugs can 394 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: I have? World's greatest at I know. 395 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 7: I'm the world's greatest stab all right, I get one 396 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 7: every single year. 397 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: Okay, so it's the same thing. I'm a routine kind 398 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: of guy. I like that part. I don't like getting 399 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: these ties. 400 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 7: We're am supposed to say, these people getting me in 401 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 7: these ties? All right, what do you want from me? 402 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 7: How many ties can I get? I'm a football coach. 403 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 7: Tis we're one tie year? 404 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: All right? 405 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 7: So I got a grandson. Now he comes over, and 406 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 7: that's cute. He's super cru and all. I love being 407 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 7: a granddad. But I mean, damn son, he pops like 408 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 7: through a tin horn. I mean, I don't have time 409 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 7: to constibly changing these diapers and everything. 410 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: You know, once he's on the forty end? All right, 411 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: can you play linebacker for me? 412 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 7: These are the kind of questions that I think that 413 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 7: you should be asking, and. 414 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: You're not doing it. 415 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 3: I yes, we do enjoy parody. Speaking of neckties and 416 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: grilling tools. Jim Gaffigan's take on Father's Day, which we 417 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 3: think is very funny. 418 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 8: It's Father's Day. How weird is that a day to 419 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 8: honor dads. It doesn't make sense Mother's Day. I get 420 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 8: their mother's they brought us into the world. Father's Day 421 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 8: is like celebrating Darth Vader's birthday. Culturally, we don't even 422 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 8: take Father's Day seriously. We all approach Father's Day like, well, 423 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 8: our dad's made us do it. Father's Day seems like 424 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 8: an afterthought. I guess since we honored mothers in May, 425 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 8: we should probably give a day in June to that 426 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 8: guy who gets up early on his one day off 427 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 8: to abandon us to go golfing. The gifts we give 428 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 8: on Father's Day seem impersonal and absurd. 429 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: A necktie, what is this? Nineteen fifty? 430 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 8: I guess giving dear old Dada noose would be a 431 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 8: little on the nose, So let's give them a silk 432 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 8: noose with a goofy pattern. Now, before you think I'm 433 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 8: some dad hater, I should tell you I am a dad. 434 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 8: I have a lot of kids. I say a lot 435 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 8: because I'm nervous I might get the number wrong. I'm 436 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 8: sure there are some really good dads out there, and 437 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 8: I commend both of them. I do do things with 438 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 8: my kids, but when I come back from an outing, 439 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 8: just know they are going to be sunburned, covered in 440 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 8: mosquito bites. And yes, I forgot to get napkins. When 441 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 8: I bought them ice cream, I lost one of their shoes. Well, 442 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 8: at least I took them out. You're welcome. Generally, a 443 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 8: day for dads is odd. Have you seen a dad? Sure, 444 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 8: David Beckham's a dad, But most dads look like Frankly, 445 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 8: look like me. 446 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: There are not a lot of sexy dads. 447 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 8: There's no dad equivalent to a hot mom or a 448 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 8: yummy mummy. At least there shouldn't be, because the phrase 449 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 8: dad bod is not just an internet joke. It's a 450 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 8: serious condition that affects millions of us. Dads are the 451 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 8: human equivalent of cargo shorts. Yes, I do have cargo shorts. No, 452 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 8: I don't know why that is funny or bad. I'm 453 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 8: a dad. Besides the societal pressure to balance out Mother's Day, 454 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 8: what if dad's done to deserve a Father's Day? 455 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: Frankly plenty. 456 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 8: Besides ordering pizzas and serving as the vice president of 457 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 8: the family, dads have to battle their own selfishness every day. 458 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 8: Dads strive to raise better smarter less dad like humans. Remember, 459 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 8: without the comparison to dads would look horrible. Damn straight 460 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 8: dads deserve a holiday. Now, get me a beer, whatever 461 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 8: your name is. 462 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: He does have a lot of kids. 463 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: I've eaten meals with the entire Carrie carry, with the 464 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 3: entire Gaffigan family, and I mean it's an army of kids. 465 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 3: It is a lot of kids. It's mayhem. I got nervous. 466 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: They're just They're just everywhere. Yes, I am aware because 467 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: I know I'm going to get emails that Jim Gaffigan's 468 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: politics are awful. Jim and I got to be good 469 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 3: friends before he started stating his opinions publicly, and he 470 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: has pulled back from that, and in fact, if you 471 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 3: read what he has said of late, he's kind of 472 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 3: come around to the Democrats or nutjobs you know who 473 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 3: else has had kind of a good run, Jim Carrey. 474 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: People are now looking back at some of the warnings 475 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: Jim Carrey gave of what was going on in this country, 476 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 3: and he starts looking like a very very astute observer 477 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: of what was going on before most people realized it. 478 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: Here's Jim Carrey talking about his own dear father, my. 479 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 9: Father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't 480 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 9: believe that that was possible for him, and so he 481 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 9: made a conservative choice. 482 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: Instead. 483 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 9: He got a safe job as an accountant, and when 484 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 9: I was twelve years old, he was let go from 485 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 9: that safe job, and our family had to do whatever 486 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 9: we could to survive. 487 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: I learned many great lessons from. 488 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 9: My father, not the least of wish was that you 489 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 9: can fail at what you don't want, so you might 490 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 9: as well take a chance on doing what you want. 491 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 3: I chose to close with that because there are so 492 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: many of you out there who, like my dad, worked 493 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 3: for forty years at DuPont, a job he absolutely hated. 494 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 3: He liked the fellows he worked with, but he hated 495 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: that job.
