Unlawful immigrations is not accepted. 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: You sign say hello. 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 4: Hello, say hello hello. 11 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: Don't know why. 12 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: I did. 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 5: Universal health caron as mayor fully emplematic, regardless of pre 14 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 5: existing condition, ability pay, and regardless your immigration status. 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: Samsuku is the only universal. 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 3: Health care plan for all undocumented residents in America. 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of that. 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 4: Dar ultimicol is to help the dreamers, but get a 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 4: path to citizenship for all eleven million or however many 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 4: undocumented There are. 21 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 5: Here eleven million people living in the shadows. I believe 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 5: they're already American citizens. These people are just waiting, waiting 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 5: for a chance to be able to contribute fully, and 24 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 5: by that standard, eleven million undocumented aliens, they're already Americans. 25 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 6: In my view, an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal, 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 6: and we have to correct course in this conversation. 27 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: Buona persona sin pa pelis not es criminals. 28 00:01:48,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: They Immigration is not a right guaranteed by the US 29 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: Constitution to everyone anywhere in the world who thinks they 30 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: want to come to the United States.

They're proud of their stuff, 34 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: very proud of their stuff. When they came around. I 35 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe twenty years ago was first time I 36 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: was in there. A long time ago. They were the 37 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: only people that had really clever container stuff off and 38 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: and uh, and now you can get that stuff at Target, 39 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: you can get it online. There's a lot of places 40 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: you can you can get that stuff. That's a whole 41 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: lot less. But that's not cheap rent. They got a 42 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: corner space at the corner of of Westheimer and Post Oat. 43 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: That's uh, that's high dollar rent. Your caddy corner from 44 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: a Starbucks. That is high dollar rent. That's that's like grette, Well, 45 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: that's as high. That's high container store. 46 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: My wife has a container full of containers that she 47 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: labeled container. My wife will go out and she will 48 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 4: buy you containers to replace containers she already bought. Because 49 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 4: let's light money on fire. They made a whole store 50 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: for my wife. It's called the containers Store. She will 51 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: come home from the container store with sixty eight containers 52 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: and it is the best day. 53 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: Of her life. And she comes home excited. 54 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: Look at my containers, babe. 55 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 4: I can't wait to spend the next six days organizing 56 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 4: and labeling containers. 57 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: And then I'm gonna go to the grocery store. 58 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna buy things that already come in containers. 59 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring those. 60 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 4: Things home, gonna take them out of those containers, and 61 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 4: I'm gonna put them in pretty labeled containers. And then 62 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: I'm gonna walk around the house bitching and complaining about 63 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 4: all the work I created for myself. 64 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: Which brings us to another issue. People who bring a 65 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: bunch of work upon themselves and then then complain about 66 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: that work. I'm always amazed by that. I'm probably gonna 67 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: make a couple of people mad with this one that 68 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: are the core base. But I'm gonna say it because 69 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: it makes me laugh. Have a sense of human be 70 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: able to laugh about yourself, okay, instead of getting your 71 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: little feelings hurt. Now I just want you to criticize 72 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: other people. So I will often ask people on the 73 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: weekend what you got going on this weekend? On Facebook? 74 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: And I am surprised how many people and maybe I'm 75 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: reading more into it, but it sounds to me like 76 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: this head, get up early, Milk the cows, feed the horses, 77 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: take the dogs out to pee and poop, clean that up, 78 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: put some hay in the stalls, clean the dolls, and 79 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: then put some more hay in the stalls, and bring 80 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: some food to the goats. And I'm thinking, are you 81 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: running the commercial farm or did you get away from 82 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: all the Democrats to have peace and quiet and the 83 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: tranquility of being around animals which do require some maintenance. 84 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: And it makes it sound like I got all these 85 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: chores to do. But you sure if the chores you 86 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: have to do are not to sustain yourself financially and 87 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: not in any way required, and nothing would be different 88 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: if you didn't do them. Those aren't chores. Those are hobbies. 89 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: And it's okay to have a hobby. It's okay because 90 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: nobody says of their hobby. Who had to get up 91 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: this morning early? For any of y'all had to had 92 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: to put all my tennis shoes, my headband, make sure 93 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: I had my racket and a new can of tennis balls. 94 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: Because I had an early morning tennis match while y'all 95 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: were all asleep. I had to be out there running here, 96 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: running there, out of gas, winded, sweating, and then afterwards 97 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: I had to pick up the balls. It was at 98 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: the back toward the fence. Had to put them back 99 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: in the can. I had to sling my heavy racket 100 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: bag on my shoulder. I had to walk to my 101 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: f I got a hatchback. I had to click the button, 102 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: wait on the hashbacks open, had to put my rackets 103 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: in there, had to close out, and then I had 104 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: to come home. Had to drive in the morning before 105 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: most of y'all was up. Had to stop, had to 106 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: stop and get coffee. Wait in line. Ordered my coffee. 107 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Lady wanted me to give her my credit. I had 108 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: to do that now to get my coffee. Then I 109 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: had to go over there. I had to put some 110 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: stuff in my coffee, some creamers, some sugar. Had to 111 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: take the lid off to do that, and then I 112 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: had to put the lid back, and then I had 113 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: to open the door to go outside to get in 114 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: my car to drive home. Well, I had to do y'all. 115 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: Y'all probably just left in and watch football. I do 116 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: all that, and I always think, I mean, it sounds enjoyable, 117 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: but I mean it's team takes something kind of you 118 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: chose to because that's the life you want. I don't 119 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: know that that's it. Formed on this day in nineteen 120 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: seventy three, Elvis's Aloha from Hawaii Chevy's Hello from Hawaii 121 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: mon See Special is the first concert featuring just one 122 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: performer to be broadcast live via satellite. It would not 123 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: be seen live in the United States. It would be 124 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: seen live in Japan, were apparently it rocked, Australia, and 125 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: what is described as Oceana Oshan at the time. Those 126 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: countries would see it later it would be those countries 127 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: can see it live. It would be released as a 128 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: double album later in the year. The American audience, at 129 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: least continental United States would not see it until April fourth, 130 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: so several months later, with several added bonus tracks. And 131 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: the reason was NBC wanted to avoid a programming clash 132 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: with super Bowl seven, which was on the same day, 133 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: and also because Elvis's concert film Elvis on tour was 134 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: in cinemas at the time, so they thought maybe it 135 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: would not get the ratings it deserved if you didn't 136 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: also have a Super Bowl in his movie in theaters. 137 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I saw a song sung blue last night? 138 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: Have you seen that? I don't recall a movie being 139 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: hyped to me as much as that movie in a long, 140 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: long time. Now. I also understand most movies are not 141 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: promoted to me because I'm not a moviegoer. I don't 142 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: go to the movie theater. If I do, I go 143 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: to Riverroaks Theater over the river Oaks District, where you 144 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: got the big, nice seat and a blanket and a 145 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: pillow and food and drink. I'm always amazed people say, 146 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: you use that blanket. Yeah, I use I like a 147 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: blanket when on that But other people have used that blanket, 148 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: you know. I find it very interesting how people selective, 149 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: How people get selectively bothered over germs or other people's 150 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: are r when you consider that when you go to 151 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: a restaurant, if you've never been in a restaurant kitchen, 152 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: it's probably better because if you're a person that freaks 153 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: out over stuff, you would be shocked at how many 154 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: fingers get jabbed into your food in the course of 155 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: the meal preparation, and it's happening at home as well. Yeah, 156 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: but that's okay, that's my family, Okay, I don't understand 157 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: the whole. I think the reason is my mother was 158 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: obsessed over hair in the food. So we didn't go 159 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: out very often, but when we did, she would stare 160 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: at the food and spend it around looking for hair. 161 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: And my theory is there's a lot of stuff in 162 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: there that you don't know about that'll probably count as 163 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: protein because it's in the insect category, that as long 164 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: as you don't know about it, you might just think 165 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: it's a creuton. Why do you want to go borrow 166 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: in trouble? Why don't you want to go looking for 167 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: it and know how hard it is to get food 168 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: out to a table without any of that stuff in it. 169 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: And then she would if there was a hair in 170 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: her food, which she was the only one that would 171 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: ever have hair in her food because she went looking 172 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: for it, she would in the middle of the meal, 173 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: she would push her plate forward real dramatically and then recoil. Well, 174 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: we didn't go out and eat her. It was a 175 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: big deal, and you ate your entire meal that was 176 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: you know that this wasn't an this wasn't something that 177 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: you just do, and you know, I'm going to finish. 178 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: I'm not going to finish that like you ate your 179 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: meal you'd been looking forward to. So she pushed her 180 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: plate forward, and you would, invariably you couldn't help yourself. 181 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: You'd say everything, Okay, everything's fine, this line yep, no, no, no, 182 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: y'all just go ahead and finish. Okay, Well, now the 183 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: hair in your food is in my head. Right, So 184 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: when we finished your meal, she'd say, I didn't want 185 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: to ruin your meal, but there was a hair in 186 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: my food. Okay, well we're onto this now. So you 187 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: might as well have just held a press conference because 188 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: we all knew there was hair in the food. So 189 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: I decided prepare to be grossed out that no matter 190 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: what was on my plate, I was never ever going 191 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: to let a meal be ruined in my life. So 192 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't worry about it. I just eat it. I 193 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: figured the hair. I see the hair. I don't. I 194 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: just happen to see that hair. You're eating the hair 195 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: every day, no matter why you're eating droppings, you're eating meat. 196 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: You're eating meat. That you wouldn't eat. You're eating bugs. 197 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: It's just the reality of it. And I understand that 198 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: some people need to play a game that they're not 199 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: and that they're gonna source it all out. There's a 200 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: religion in India called Janeism the Jains, they're called j 201 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: Ai m and the Jains are such pacifists that they 202 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: will not walk at night because they fear they might 203 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: squash a bug. By day, they figure they'll see the 204 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: bug and stay off of it. And I'm over here 205 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: trying to smash bugs. Bugs. I enjoy watching watching stuff 206 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: ooz out of them, but they don't. They they don't 207 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: want to harm anything. They also wear a mask when 208 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: they go out because they don't want to accidentally inhale 209 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: a bug and kill them. Well, I don't want to 210 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: inhale a bug either, just because I don't like you know, 211 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: you get a bug in there and you can't get 212 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: it out, but I don't mind killing them. That's kind 213 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: of what I figured. There's another bug behind that one. 214 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to reduce the bug population, 215 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: but in any case, it's another one of those mind 216 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: over matter issues. And for people who were bothered by 217 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: what's in their food. I think these are the kind 218 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: of concerns you have as an American in twenty twenty six. 219 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: These are the kind of things when you become when 220 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: your country becomes so rich that you have so much leisure, 221 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: you have so much extra time. You're not being bombed, 222 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: You're not having to work twenty hours a day, You're 223 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: not having to walk ten miles to get a bucket 224 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: of water to bring back to your family. You're not 225 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: fearing famine and plague, pestilence in war. You got time 226 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: on your hands. You fill that space. Just as if 227 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: you lived in London during the bombings or Dresden during 228 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: the bombings, you feel the You still find your own horror, 229 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: your own panic, your own anxiety. I mean, what else 230 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: explains the Amityville horror or the Jason series. That's just 231 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: going looking for problem, that's just borrowing problems. Oh, I 232 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: just kind of enjoy having the Bejesus scared out of me. Right. 233 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: We acknowledge that people do that. We acknowledge that you 234 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: got all these women doing these true crime story podcasts. 235 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: It's as if people don't have enough to worry about 236 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: people in Colorado because they don't have inner city crime 237 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: to worry about. They worry about bears. I'm not kids, 238 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: just they talk about them, just like hood rats. 239 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 6: If you're ever interested in weird Al Yankovic's parodies, which 240 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 6: I loved, there's a lot on YouTube about it. 241 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: The ones who turned him down, there are people he 242 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: would always seek permission first. I think that was a 243 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: licensing thing, but I also think it was just a 244 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: professional courtesy. There was a licensing of the music, but 245 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: I think he wanted them to be comfortable with it. 246 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: And almost everybody he ever asked said yes, And the 247 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: few who said no, some of them came back and said, 248 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: that was the dumbest thing I ever did, because my 249 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: song was five years old, it had run its course, 250 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: and seeing what he did for other songs, he always 251 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: gave breathe a second life into the song the way 252 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: a cover does. But he'd got people. But the problem 253 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: is a lot of people see that as being made 254 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: fun of. I am shocked. It's disappointing but shocking. How 255 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: many people have no use the word sense of humor. 256 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: How many people are are so literal they are humorless. 257 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: And most of these people don't know that there are 258 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: people who listen to our show all day, every day, 259 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: and they like ninety percent of it. But they do 260 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: not like jokes. They do not like poking fun at 261 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: anything that they really like. It's not good. Bad things 262 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: are bad. Good things are good. You don't make jokes 263 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: about things that are good, because that means you're ridiculing 264 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: them and humiliating them, and they feel small and they're 265 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: mad at you now, and they're much better at being 266 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: mad than laughing. Such an awful way to go through life. 267 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: But hey, you're an engineer. You can't help it. And 268 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: you see these people. I hear from them every day. 269 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: I love your show. But when you made that joke 270 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: about Trump, that was just too far. I can't listen. 271 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: Had to turn to you off. That's just not good. Well, 272 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: it's a joke that his wife made, or it's a 273 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: joke that his son made, or I don't think they 274 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: hate him, but that you don't you just you just 275 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: don't joke about that. It's not it's not good. We're 276 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: gonna turn the car around. This isn't it. We're not 277 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: here to have fun, we're not here to enjoy ourselves. 278 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: We're here to be very literal good things are good 279 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: and bad things are bad, and we'll just decide what's what. 280 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: And once we do that, then we won't ever never 281 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: the Twains shall meet. So we're ow. Yankovic called Kurt 282 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Cobain and weird Au loved the song smells like teen 283 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: Spirit and he wanted to do a parody, and Cobain said, yeah, 284 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: I would love that, but you have to do it 285 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: about Fruit, because he had done several Fruit parodies. And 286 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: he said, well, the idea I had was, I think 287 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: it's kind of cool that everybody loves the sound of 288 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: this song, but nobody knows what you're singing. So I 289 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: was gonna make the song about the fact that I'm 290 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: singing it and I don't know what I'm saying. And 291 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 1: to his credit, Kurt Cobain thought that was hilarious and 292 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: loved the final product. So there you have it. It's 293 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: what it all smells like, Nirvana. Yeah, so that woman, 294 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: Stephanie Marshall. I got a lot of emails from people saying, Hey, 295 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: I want to start a business doing this. I want 296 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: to start a business doing this. Let me take four 297 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: minutes and give you advice that's worth exactly what you 298 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: paid for it. If you're having trouble keeping up, that 299 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: means it's free, so it may not be worth anything. 300 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: And that is this. I have watched a lot of 301 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: people launch a business. Almost all of them fail. The 302 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: few who survive follow a couple of simple reasons, a 303 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: couple of simple rules. Number one, if you are caught 304 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: up on getting your certification with the Secretary of State 305 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: on your incorporation, and if you think that having those documents. 306 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: I've had people I say, hey, I got a client 307 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to send you.

It's amazing to me how many 326 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: people create a business or really don't even think of 327 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: it as a business. Think of it as solving people's problems. 328 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: I've told my kids since they were little. When you 329 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: think about how you're going to make money in your life, 330 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: think of it this way. People are going to have needs. 331 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: Most of them are going to have a problem and 332 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: you need to solve it. Some people are going to 333 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: have needs. Some people need you to come and sit 334 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: with them and listen to them all day long, and 335 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: they'll pay you as a sitter. Some people to need you. 336 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: It may not always be a problem. You know, if 337 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: you fix tires or engines or a gunsmithing, they've got 338 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: a problem. Renovations they got a problem. But some people 339 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: have a need you should provide for that solution. The 340 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: other thing, and this is the thing that I think 341 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: causes more businesses to fail than anything else. If you're 342 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: not willing to cut loose of every dollar of debt 343 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: and every expenditure you have and the only thing, every 344 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: dollar that comes in, goes back into the business, don't 345 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: do it because you won't survive. A lot of people 346 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: have been an employee of a company for several years 347 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: and they've got a car note, a house note, memberships 348 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: to this and that, they've got to all these expenses 349 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: and credit cards, and so they've got that. They got 350 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: to meet that before they can start anything else. A 351 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: startup business does not give you cash. And that's something 352 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: that nobody ever tells you. People that start a business 353 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: almost never pull any cash out of it the first year, 354 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: and in many cases not the second year. So when 355 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: you see a guy who's successful in his business that 356 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: he started himself on his own and he's ten years 357 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: into it, and you know why he's making all this money? 358 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: Do you know how long he worked with nothing but 359 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: risk and it should have gone south? That usually does 360 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: just didn't happen to it for him, and debt and 361 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: no income. If you're not prepared to do that or 362 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: incapable of doing that, then you're in no business to 363 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: start your own business. Don't think of a business as 364 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: a square or a box or a piece of real estate. 365 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: I see people go out and get rental space that 366 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: they don't even need. You could work out of your home. 367 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: I guarantee you. Stephanie Marshall's working out of her home. 368 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: You can work off your phone. You don't need all 369 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: the trappings. Is isn't nineteen seventy five. You don't need 370 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: to hire staff, do it all yourself until you get profitable. 371 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: You need to be comfortable. That's why the first question 372 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: I asked her what do you charge per hour? And 373 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: she didn't hesitate, seventy dollars. If you can't tell me 374 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: that when somebody tells me, hey, I got a business, 375 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: I want to talk about it on the air. All right, 376 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: how do you build well? I work it? Never mind, 377 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: you're in If you can't say to somebody, this is 378 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: what I charge per hour, and you're afraid to say that, 379 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: you're not in the business. People think I should be 380 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: afraid of a shamed of making money. No, no, it's 381 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: a goal of mine to make money. I'd like to 382 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: make a lot more like fire. Raman. You know if 383 00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: I got thing, if we fired you. James writes, I 384 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: heard a rule of thumb or cleaning up spaces. It's 385 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: called the poop rule. When you're cleaning out things, think 386 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: of this. If there was poop on it, would I 387 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: clean it off? Or would I throw it away? That's 388 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: the poop rule. Dan Aghan writes, you should consider doing 389 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: a segment on theft within the Postal Service. I've had 390 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: checks stolen twice and attempted to be cashed within sixty 391 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: days going to the same address in college station. I've 392 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: had to change two different bank accounts twice. That's four 393 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: changes in all within sixty days. I filed theft reports 394 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: with the US Postal Service. No one has even contacted me. 395 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: You'll be flooded with testimonials of people who went through this. 396 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: We won't save that. Do that another day this week. 397 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: I've had it happen to me. I had check stolen. Boy, 398 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: what a mess that was. Please ask her for decluttering 399 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: organizing book recommendations for those of us who live far away. 400 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: I did that. Ask miss Marshall about red flags. Sorry 401 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: for the sloppy email. I'm in the car. Ask her 402 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: what scares her, scares her or makes her think maybe 403 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: the job isn't right for her, or if she's ever 404 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: been in a sticky situation, I didn't get to that 405 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: in time. You know what would be fun when I 406 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: think of ways I'd like to spend my time, not 407 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: all day, every day, but just a little bit of 408 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: time here and there. And maybe that's why I do 409 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: it on the air, is how inefficient people are with 410 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: their time. And some people get angry when I talk 411 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: about this because they think I'm insulting them or they 412 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: think I think I'm better than them, which I've come 413 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: to the conclusion that if you misinterpret what I say, 414 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: that's on you. That's because you bring a bunch of 415 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: baggage to the conversation. And a lot of people are 416 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: uncomfortable talking about things or their own insecurity makes them 417 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: so sensitive to conversations that they think everything is about them. 418 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: That's what modern American blacks so many suffer from. So 419 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: many blacks today walk into the room convinced that everybody 420 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: is looking at them like a freak. Because the black 421 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: walk into the classroom, walk into the workplace, walk into 422 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: a sales meeting, walk into a restaurant, That's why you 423 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: get so many cases of a black person saying, what 424 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: are you looking at? Well, the reaction for most white 425 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: people is, I was actually doing what I do as 426 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: a human being. I was scanning the place. I was 427 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: looking for things I would like, things I might dislike, 428 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: where I might sit, who I might know, how they've 429 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: decorated the place. That's kind of what people do. But 430 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: the what are you looking at? Amongst two black dudes 431 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: in the inner city means the other guy has to 432 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: It's like two dogs in the dog park. Well, I 433 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: can't seem weak. I can't say, oh, I was looking 434 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: over there to see you know, I was looking to 435 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: see if I knew anybody here, or this is what 436 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: white people do. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to 437 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: offend you. I was looking to see if the people 438 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: I'm meeting were here. I'm so sorry that you're somehow 439 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: offended that I was looking around the room, scanning the room. 440 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: But another black guy will often say something that will 441 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: that will escalate, and then you later find out that 442 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: jay Z shot a guy because he bumped him in 443 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: the in the in the bar, there was a guy 444 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: who shot a guy years ago, and they asked him, 445 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: Why did you shoot a guy? Why'd you shoot the 446 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: man he bumped me? He looked at the footage. They're 447 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: walking through a crowded spot and a shoulder hit a shoulder. 448 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: You go on around because you have something waiting for 449 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: you at the end of the line that's more important 450 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: than having a fight with that person. But if you've 451 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: gone through life on high alert that everybody's out to 452 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: get you at all times, you get barreed down fighting 453 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: with somebody who you don't even really have a real 454 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: beef with. You asked them what they're staring at, and 455 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: they had to immediately show that they're not weak. So 456 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: they said they'll kill you, and you said you'll kill them, 457 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: And somebody ends up dead and you don't even know why. 458 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: So anyway back to it, as I was saying, wrong 459 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: time management, take this or leave this. But these are 460 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: my observations because that's what I do. I observe things 461 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: and I share it. First of all, when I hand 462 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: off a client, Chance McLean did it this week. I said, hey, Chance, 463 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: Rick Dope, my broker, my farming ranch broker. He's killing it. 464 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: His business is absolutely killing it. He's gone out on 465 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: his own now, doesn't need to be with the company. 466 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: He's going out on his own. He's listing these farms 467 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: and ranches, Chapel Hill, Bellville, Columbus, all over one of 468 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: the Rockport and he's killing it. He's doing better than 469 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: you ever imagine. And I said, he needs to have 470 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: a video done of himself, do a couple of testimonials. 471 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: It'd be like a heritage film. But he calls it 472 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: a signature film for business or whatever. You need to 473 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: do this, call him, get this done. I just came 474 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: up with it, but Rick will do it. And the 475 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: Chance said, okay, let me know when we can have 476 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: a meeting. Why did we need to have a meeting? 477 00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: Just call go yeah, you want to do it. Here's 478 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 1: the budget, here's what it costs. All right, here's what 479 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: I need from you. Boom. No Chance is going to 480 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: drive an hour and a half to Chapel or an 481 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: hour and a half to Chapel Hill and have a meeting, 482 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: have some drinks, blow off eight hours because you don't 483 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: need to do all that. Just set it up and 484 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: go boom boom boom. That's how busy people get stuff done. 485 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: You don't need to drive to a meeting. Sometimes if 486 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking to a sales rep in Houston or elsewhere, 487 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: and somebody a client comes in to hand it off 488 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: and they'll say, oh, I'll go have a meeting. You 489 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: don't need to have a meeting. You don't need to 490 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: schedule a call. Drives me crazy because I have to 491 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: deal with salesmen across the country with our company, and 492 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: they'll say, Hey, we have this new company and they 493 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: want to be your partner.
