1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: M hm, it's that time time, time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: So Michael Arry Show is. 3 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: On the air. 4 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: I really like I kind of like the John c 5 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: Riley Will Ferrell stuff. I thought Talladega Knights was hilarious. 6 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: I thought Step Brothers was pretty good. I would describe 7 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: Step Brothers as a movie as what I would call 8 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: an airplane movie. If I'm on a flight before before 9 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: the iPad, when you when you know, you had a 10 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: couple of choices that they had preloaded for you. It 11 00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: was a kind of movie that I could watch because 12 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: it would kill, you know, ninety minutes to two hours. 13 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it up in the top, but it's 14 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: good enough to watch. I realized that some other people. 15 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: But you got to realize there are very few movies, songs, sports, figures, 16 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: or anything else post two thousand that I care very 17 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: much about. That's on me, not you. But I thought 18 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: John c Riley, I think his stuff with Will Ferrell's 19 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: pretty funny. The whole Dewey Cox story didn't appeal to 20 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: me that much. But Jim Mudd thinks it's hilarious and 21 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: he loves it. Of course, he thinks Van Halen's better 22 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: than Leonard Skinnard, So if that gives you something about 23 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: his credibility. But it's one of his favorite movies. And 24 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: there is a scene he sent me earlier and we 25 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: went to the First Break with Lucas Gilkey, our last guest. 26 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: There is a scene in there in the movie Walk 27 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: the Dewey Cox story. Dewey Cox has been smell blind 28 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: ever since he cut his brother in half with a machete. 29 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: And he walks in on his drummer smoking reefer and 30 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: what's the guy's name he was on Saturday Night line, 31 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: black guy. 32 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 3: Gosh darn, it's. 33 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: A good actor. He's funny actor, kind of always plays 34 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: the same character. Anyway, he's cut the clip down, but 35 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: it's a pretty funny scene. So this is Dewey Cox, 36 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: the lead singer of the band. He walks in on 37 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: like in the green room and his drummer is smoking 38 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: pot and this is their exchange. Don Cheedle yes, yet, 39 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: what was that movie that Don cheatle was in? Do 40 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: you remember? It was real serious movie? No? Not Hotel Rwanda. 41 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: That's good, good call. He had a run there of 42 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: some serious roles. It's the one in the car where 43 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: the car's in a smash and the cops roll up 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: on it. Do you remember that? Oh man, that was 45 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: the big It's one word. It's like pieces or something like. 46 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: I'll find in a minute. 47 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: What. 48 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: No, it wasn't, iron Man. Just play the clip. 49 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 4: Get out of here, Dewey, What are y'all doing in here? 50 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 4: We're smoking reefer and you don't want no part of it? 51 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 4: You're smoking reefers? Yeah, of course we are. Can't you 52 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 4: smell it? No, Sam, I can't. 53 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Come on, Dewey, join the party. 54 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: No, Dewey, you don't want this. Get out of here. 55 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 4: You know what. I don't want no hangover. I can't 56 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: get no hangover. It doesn't give you a hangover. Whoa, 57 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: I'll get addicted to it or something. It's not habit forming. 58 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: Oh okay, well, I don't know. I don't want to 59 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: overdose on it. You can't od on it. It's not 60 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 4: gonna make me want to have sex, is it? It 61 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: makes sex even better? Sounds kind of expensive. It's the cheapest. 62 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Drug there is. 63 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: Hmm. You don't want it? I think I kind of 64 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 4: want it?

This is one of several I mean, 73 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: there's probably ten I could play of pieces of art 74 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: that came out of the experience of the Kurville floods, 75 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: and I've chosen this one.

That is. 109 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: One of many pieces that comes from the heart of 110 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: these kids who I think are just trying to find 111 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: some way, somehow to cope, to grieve, to express. 112 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 4: The Michael Barry Show, simple man. 113 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: Ramon, what would you assess in pop culture today? Probably 114 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: be higher five years ago. I never watched it, but 115 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people do. Was it called 116 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: The Osborne's or Living with the os What was it called? Well, yep? 117 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: What is yep? I gave you three options? Huh? Was 118 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: called the Osborne's. I never saw the charm of reality TV, 119 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: never saw the charm of it, but apparently they were huge, 120 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: and the more dysfunctional they were, the more people loved it. 121 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: I get, you know. I hear it said that people 122 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: enjoy watching the dysfunction of others because it makes them 123 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: feel good. I don't know. I'm not piling onto that 124 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: because I watched True Crime and I'm not sure what 125 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: that says about me, But so does everybody else, apparently, 126 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: because it's now the number one podcast category. Every woman 127 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: out there has got a true crime podcast and they 128 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: got all, you know, eighty percent women listeners. You would 129 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: think if you were a woman who is far more 130 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: likely to be a victim of violent crime that you 131 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: would steer clear of thinking about it. But I don't know. 132 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: By the way, it was not Don Cheatle. It was 133 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Tim Meadows, who was the actor we were thinking about. 134 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: But the Don Cheatle movie we were thinking about was Crash. 135 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: So listeners always solve these problems, but it's usually by 136 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: the time we get to the break that I see it. 137 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: On the issue of big pharma and big government, we 138 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: turned to Woody Harrelson, who turns sixty four today. Now 139 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: I know what your immediate reaction is. This is what 140 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: we do. Oh well, Michael, whatdy Harrison? 141 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: You know? 142 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: You know Woody Harrison's crazy, right, Yeah, he's crazy, and 143 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: his daddy was crazy. His daddy was a murderer and 144 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: had a real weird upbringing. And Woody Harrelson is absolutely, positively, 145 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: completely without a doubt nuts. But I'm gonna tell you something, 146 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: even a blind squirrel finds a nut just because somebody. 147 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: We do this to diminish people. Oh, Jim Carrey's crazy. 148 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: Do you know when Jim Carrey became crazy? Not when 149 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: Jim m Carey was out there saying that Hollywood was 150 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: controlled by a small elite. Not when Jim Carrey was 151 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: talking about the pedophilia of your favorite actors. No, no, no, 152 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't crazy back then. He wasn't crazy when he 153 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: was doing crazy things. He wasn't crazy until all of 154 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: this became popular and people started looking at that and 155 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: realizing he was serious about all this. Then he had 156 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: to be marginalized. This is Woody Harrelson, who, by the way, 157 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: when he spoke out against the COVID clot shot, he 158 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: hosted Saturday Night Live, and then he later went on 159 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: to Bill Maher's podcast and all of Hollywood turned on 160 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: him because he was calling out the clot shot for 161 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: exactly what it was. Here's what he said. 162 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 6: There's the CDC promoting that we have to do all 163 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 6: of these things right. I don't like profiteering in war, 164 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 6: you know, I think of the billions of dollars that 165 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 6: have gone to big farmer. 166 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: But I was getting back to my original point. 167 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 6: The last people I would trust with my health is 168 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 6: big pharma and big government because neither one of those 169 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 6: strike me as caring. 170 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 7: Entities looking as the perfect redneck hippie. Really, if that 171 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 7: message doesn't mean that you. 172 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 6: Know all about profit exactly about profit, and both sides 173 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 6: saying the profit they've made. 174 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 7: I think they've done a lot of studies about vitamin 175 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 7: D and how important it was when the people at 176 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 7: low levels they were much more. 177 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: Vulnerable to COVID. 178 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 7: Why not tell people that can't you make money selling 179 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 7: vitamin D? 180 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 4: Is it that count? 181 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: What's the worst that had? That's just it, man. There 182 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: was only one thing, you know, I Remac did and. 183 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 6: Got made into a you know, horse tranquilizer. 184 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: Uh a horse whatever. 185 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: It is it is, but also used by humans. 186 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 6: It used my millions uh high hydroxychloric when got made ridiculous, 187 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 6: and there was only one thing that could work, and 188 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 6: that's the vaccine, right, And so ultimately because of that, 189 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 6: billions of dollars was made. 190 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes we sometimes the establishment diminishes the credibility 191 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: of the messenger in order to destroy the message. It's 192 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: a very effective tool. We can all think for ourselves. 193 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you something. I've known some 194 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: people who were not good people but said some profound things. 195 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: Mattress Mac gave a speech and it was filmed and 196 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: it was sent to me by a listener. And Mattress 197 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: Mac has been very involved with a school called the 198 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: Briarwood School. And I've known some people whose names if 199 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: I threw them out, you would recognize them, who went 200 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: to the Briarwood School. It's a it's a school in 201 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: Briar Forrest and it serves kids with learning disabilities, so dysgraphia, dyslexia, ADHD, 202 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 1: learning all sorts of learning disabilities, developmental disabilities. And it 203 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: kind of runs the the the the gamut, I said, 204 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: briar Forest, it's Brookshire is where it's located. And I 205 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: heard Matt gives this, give this speech about visiting with 206 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: a woman named Yvonne Tuttle, and she's the founder and 207 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if she's still involved because that's been 208 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: a long time. And uh, Ivon Tuttle told I guess 209 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: he's talking to von Tuttler. She told him the story. 210 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: But there was a kid named Tracy who went to 211 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: the Briarwood School and Tracy was always getting in trouble. 212 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: Tracy had a lot of had a lot of trouble 213 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: at home. Tracy was struggling through a lot of developmental disabilities. 214 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: He couldn't read, couldn't write, so he became a cut up, 215 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: which is often the case. His way of coping with 216 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: the fact that he couldn't do the academic work. He 217 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: couldn't learn at great or anywhere near it, couldn't express 218 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: himself properly. He developed a lot of rage and shame 219 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: and anger and dysfunctional behaviors. And so she apparently just 220 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: loved Tracy, taught Tracy discipline Tracy. And years later this 221 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: kid comes marching through the hallway and says, ms. Tuttle, 222 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: do you remember me? She says, yes, you're Tracy, And 223 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: he said, well, I'd go by the name Woody now 224 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm Woody Harrelson. Look me up his you know, Michael 225 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: very show enjoy it the phone lines should you have 226 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: me to call in seven one three nine one thousand 227 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: and seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. So 228 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: I've told the story in spurts over the last few 229 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: days of a friend of mine, his son got transferred 230 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: to another school. He didn't want to go to the 231 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: other school. Son's going into his junior year of high school, 232 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: and his son wants to go into the trades just 233 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: like his dad. His dad's got an electrical business, small 234 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: electrical business, and which his dad before him had and 235 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: his son likes to work. He school does not appeal 236 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: to him, and he says, Dad, I don't want to 237 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: go to new school. I want to get my high 238 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: school degree, my diploma online. I want to go to 239 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: work for you. I want to start working for you. 240 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: I want to start doing it now and I'll get 241 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: the rest of my degree, my diploma online. So my 242 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: buddy said, what do you think about this? I said, 243 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: I love it. I know the kid. I know what 244 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of kid he is. He's going to end up 245 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: owning your business. He's probably going to grow it and 246 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: expand it. He's a hard worker. He likes to work. 247 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: So we got to talking about, well, let me rewind. 248 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: When I was growing up. My brothers and I liked 249 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: to sleep in on Saturday morning, didn't you, And if 250 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: we didn't have something going on. When we were younger, 251 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: we'd get up, go get our cereal, sit on the 252 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: bean bag, Morris cartoons. But as we got older, those 253 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: teenage years, and I've had doctors and I've read about this, 254 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: that the brain changes and you require a lot more sleep. 255 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: That's why they've had great results with moving the starting 256 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: time for school to a later hour. It doesn't make 257 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: kids week. It's not true. Doesn't make kids week is 258 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: something psychological happening with the hormonal change in kids, especially 259 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: boys in the teenage years, that requires more sleep. It's 260 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: a physical fact. And we wanted to sleep in. My 261 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: dad wanted us up, and he made that very clear, 262 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: so he'd start scrambling eggs and bacon. Who can sleep 263 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: through that? And you were expected to get up, eat 264 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: your eggs and your bacon and your biscuits, and start 265 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: mowing the yard, washing the cars, doing the tasks around 266 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 1: the house. I never knew a human being growing up 267 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: who paid someone else to mow their yard, change their oil, 268 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: do the things that a lot of people today, myself included, 269 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: pay someone else to do. I don't think less of 270 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: someone for doing that. If you can afford it, and 271 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: that's your leisure time, give someone else some money and 272 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: let them make a living doing that. I don't look now, 273 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: I have friends somebody else mow your lawd I does 274 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: that make me a bad person? If it does, that's 275 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: your judgment, you know what. And we were talking about 276 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: he was talking about his son, and he said, you know, 277 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: but it just worries me. You know what, if we 278 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: regret this decision later. What if him not going to college, 279 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: you still go to college. You'll have your diploma. A 280 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: lot of people go to college, maybe goes to night school. 281 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: Maybe he just takes a year off. Maybe in two 282 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: years he says, I want to go back to school. 283 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: I want to go to college. So we're talking through 284 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: all of this, and I said to my friend, I said, 285 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: you know you're worried because you're a parent. I'm worried. 286 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: You know, we want the best for our kids. We 287 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: second guess ourselves, we want to make good decisions. We 288 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: run all of that through our own lives. Everything we 289 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: messed up. We want to get right with our kids. 290 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: I got that, and so, but we forget what all 291 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: we did right in our lives. Well, I said, you 292 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: know the thing about your kid, I'm not going to 293 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: say his name. Thing about your kid is your kid 294 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: likes to work. He works with you every summer. Do 295 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: you know what most kids are doing during the summer. 296 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: They're laid up in bed or on the couch. They're gaming, 297 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not here to 298 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: judge your kid. If that's what they're doing. Your kid 299 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: wants to get up, put his boots and jeans on, 300 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: put a ball cap on, and crawl under houses and 301 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: fix people's sewer lines. He wants to trench lines so 302 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: people can build an outhouse. And then when y'all are 303 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: done working and you come back to the office to 304 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: write up your invoices, what does he do. He goes 305 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: and tinkers on that old junkie truck. He's got out 306 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: there to get it running right. And he's been doing 307 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: that since before he was sixteen. The kid has a 308 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: work ethic. Give me a human being with a work 309 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: That's why Ramona's not going to make it. Give me 310 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: a human being with a work ethic over some kid 311 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: that's a nerd in school. I was a nerd in school. 312 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's overrated. Give me somebody who, when 313 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: they're through eating, gets up, takes their plate to the sink, 314 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: washes it off, and puts it back up, whether they're 315 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: at home or guest. Give me somebody who does things 316 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: and doesn't wait on someone else to do things for them, 317 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: and I'll find you a person who'll be happy, maybe rich, 318 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: more likely not. And I got we have more listeners 319 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: who run a small business that operate like this that 320 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: weren't good students. Maybe didn't. I just found out yesterday 321 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: Bert finished the eighth grade. I guarantee you Bert Harvey 322 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: makes more than thirty three percent of the people I 323 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: graduated law school with and I got scholarships. They were 324 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in debt. Bert Harvey 325 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: makes more than they do. Works. I don't want to 326 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: say works fewer hours. Let me say this. Doesn't feel 327 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: the need to pass out drunk every night because he 328 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: hates his job like a lot of lawyers do. Oh, 329 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: but go to school, be a lawyer. Do well in class. 330 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: Make miss Smith happy, make Miss Jones happy. Right back 331 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: to her what regurgitate to her what she told you. 332 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: Don't be distracted, don't free associate, don't be creative, don't 333 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: imagine what you're gonna fix when you get home. I 334 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: heard the story. I rewatched Silicon Cowboys the other day, 335 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: the Rod Kenyon story. And compact not just ride. He 336 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't want me to say that, but he talked about 337 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: in high school. He had an old junker car. He 338 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: made forty cents an hour. He paid three hundred and 339 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: fifty dollars for his car, and he took it apart 340 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: and put it back together. And that was when he 341 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: realized that things aren't sacred. They weren't handed to us 342 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: from God. They're built by human hands, and you can 343 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: take them apart and put them back together. So my boy, 344 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: I say to my buddy, if he wants to do 345 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: online classes, it's his decisions. His life is sixteen. He's 346 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: a hard worker. Let him do it and take him 347 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: to work and teach him the business. That's what he 348 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: wants to do. Why not get started? Now, what's the 349 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: grand difference between eighteen and sixteen. Well, you're gonna send 350 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: him to school. He hates school. You're gonna send him 351 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: to have other people approve of him and give him 352 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: a letter grade. You didn't raise him for that. Teach 353 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: the kid who you know, there was a time before 354 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: we had schools, all right, So fast forward. I say 355 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: to him last night, what y'all do? He said, Well, 356 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: we took your advice. We're gonna My wife said, see, 357 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: you go butting into people's business and somebody's gonna take 358 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: you seriously. Well, they're actually very excited about it. And 359 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: my wife agreed with me on the advice to give him. 360 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: So I said, well, how do you get He said, 361 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: he's already signed up for online classes.

We had been off 376 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: the air about forty five minutes, and Michael's home and 377 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: me and Michael and Crockett and mom Nandita and I 378 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: got out and went to the restroom. In order to 379 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: keep up with the emails, I have to read emails 380 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: every free moment and a half. And this woman sent 381 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: me a note and she said her husband had died 382 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: three months earlier, and she always listened to the morning show, 383 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: and he always listened to the evening show. I think 384 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: he would go out into his shop or whatever, and 385 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: then they would eat dinner together, and was when they 386 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: would eat share about their day, what had happened, and 387 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: of course he had passed away. She's sixty seven, he's seventy, 388 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: I believe. And she said, I miss that part of 389 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: my life because I don't have anyone to tell what 390 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: happened in my day. And she said, so I listen. 391 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: I listen to your show, and it makes me think 392 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: of him, and I feel like you're talking to me. 393 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: And I thought, I mean it just wow, I mean 394 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: talk about a complex that you're doing something important. And 395 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: my immediate thought was I've got a fire ramon and 396 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: get a really good producer, because this is meaningful to people. 397 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: This woman is sitting at her table, listen. And so 398 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: she said, I listened to the show five to seven, 399 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: and I feel like you're talking directly to me. So 400 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: I come out. My eyes are kind of red. Michael 401 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: t always notices. He said, what's happen. I showed it 402 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: to him and he goes, whoo, Dad, that's heavy, I said, 403 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: you think so he's nineteen. He said, yeah, you're having 404 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: dinner with that woman to replace her husband. I said, yeah, 405 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: he goes man. That's talk about giving meaning to life. 406 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: I said, that means a lot. You would say that 407 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: he goes whoo man. I didn't have the heart to 408 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: tell him. Half the time we're just goofing off, but 409 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: it was. It was one of those moments. I sent 410 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: it to Herman and I think he got choked up 411 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: because he couldn't talk for me. He was verclemped, as 412 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: they say, as a result. But that's my way of saying, 413 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: if something ever happens to me, don't you ever worry. 414 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: I have had a full life, and this show and 415 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: my connection to you, my family, my parents, my dear friends. 416 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: All of those are aspects of my life. But the 417 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: connection I feel like we have you and me every day, 418 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: even if we never meet face to face, is so 419 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: important to my very being. You have no idea and 420 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: it means the world to me. In the middle of 421 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: the afternoon every day I call sponsors, how's your business doing? Oh, 422 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: it's fine, and they don't understand. No, I don't want 423 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: to know it's fine either it's up or it's down. 424 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: I want to know. If a listener emails me and 425 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: says connect me with a sponsor, that gets my highest priority. Hey, 426 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: let me connect you to I want to get an 427 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: email back that you had a wonderful experience because you 428 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: dealt with our sponsors, because they keep us on the air. 429 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: It all kind of works. So that's my sappy, silly 430 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: way of saying thank you for that, and thank you 431 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: for taking the time and trusting me to share Jackie 432 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: as her name. I'm not going to give her last name. 433 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: To share your intimate thoughts like that with me by email. 434 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: Yes I do read them on I don't respond to 435 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: them all, but yes I do read them all. Tell 436 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: me you're up. What's up? My man? 437 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 8: Hey, you're talking about kids getting up early. I grew 438 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 8: up starting in the seventh grade. I was thirteen years old. 439 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 8: We'd get up at two o'clock in the morning, my 440 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 8: brother and I. We would drive over to a friend's 441 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 8: dairy and we milk. Started milking at two thirty in 442 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 8: the morning. We'd get through about five point thirty, go 443 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 8: home mom and have breakfast ready. We'd do our homework, 444 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 8: go to school. We didn't do the afternoon milking because 445 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 8: we had you know, football practice stuff like that. What 446 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 8: was fun was on Friday nights, eight o'clock football game, 447 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 8: and then you had to get up two o'clock next 448 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 8: morning to go milk the cows. So I did that 449 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 8: through my senior year. And my dad tried to talk 450 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 8: us into buying that dairy and I slowly no way. 451 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 8: That was the hardest work, but it paid five dollars 452 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 8: in milking. 453 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: And hey, now you ain't selling me on that thing. 454 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: I grew up in it. That's he wasn't fooling you, 455 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: you know. I got to tell you. We started to 456 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: show talking about Ozzy Osbourne and the legend of the 457 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: stupid thing he did at the Alamo and how that's 458 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: rock and roll history. But there's more to that. He 459 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: wasn't proud of having Pete on the cenotaph. He was 460 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: ashamed of it, and he spent the rest of his 461 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: life trying to make amends. And he went back and 462 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: he apologized and he made a donation, and he never 463 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: bragged about that. Apparently I've read after that he was embarrassed. 464 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: It was a youthful indiscretion. It was something that he 465 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be remembered for. He did a stupid 466 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: thing when he was pass out drunk. A lot of 467 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: people do. Doesn't make it okay, it's my alamo or 468 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the cenotaph, but still a cenotaph is a tribute to 469 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: those who died there, and that to me is more 470 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: important than the physical alama. But further to that point, 471 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: I had a classmate named Josh Michelle, and Josh was 472 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: a big boy, so he got stuck at right guard 473 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: when we were growing up playing football. Unfortunate because when 474 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: you're the big boy, Ramon went through this, you did. Hey, 475 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: you're playing offensive line. You will never score a touchdown. 476 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: You will never hear your name cheered for. You will 477 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: never unless you're on the D line. If you're stuck 478 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: on the O line, my goodness, it's a world of hurt. 479 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: There's nothing good to come of it. And you'll never 480 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: hear your name called unless unless you're penalized holding her 481 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: off sites. And that's just the way it was. But 482 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: we used to make fun of Josh Michelle because Josh 483 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: will fall asleep in class and it was because they 484 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: had a dairy farm and Josh had to get up early. 485 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: The rest of us come rolling in cool cats. We 486 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: got the you know, we got moose on our hair, 487 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: slick back. You know, we're checking out the chicks. We're 488 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: the coolest cat. Josh would come dragging in and he 489 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: may still have mud on his work boots or poop 490 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: because he had to get up and milk the cows 491 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: before school, and he had to get up at the 492 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,959 Speaker 1: buck crack of dawn. You know, the whole drill, if 493 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: you're familiar with that, And we would make the teachers 494 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: would say Josh, Michelle, and he'd be fall asleep back there, 495 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: and we would ridicule that poor boy. And you talk 496 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: about your Ozzie talked about your youthful indiscretions. I look 497 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: back now, we should have admired Josh for that. But 498 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: we were young and stupid. Not the only young and 499 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: stupid opinion I ever had. That's why you shouldn't let 500 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: young people like what's that Norwegian girl? Don't take theiron? 501 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: They don't even know what they're saying. Good grief. You 502 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to vote to your twenty five and 503 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: I mean it so unless you serve, unless you are 504 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: actively serving or have served already. But I look back now, 505 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: and I think we were making fun of Josh. Josh 506 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: was already a grown man, and we were children. That 507 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: dude was putting in two days, going to school and 508 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: sitting in the air conditioning and having some teacher blabber 509 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: and not have to chase down a cow or get kicked, 510 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: or get poop all over you, or get squirted on, 511 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: or have to lug that milk. What we should have 512 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: been doing was treating Josh like the alpha dog that 513 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: he was for doing that, But we were too young 514 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: and stupid to know that. So there's my regret.
