00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: our three part series.

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 4: About the One Tribe Foundation offices.

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Last episode, we introduced you to a few of our

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: beloved Tribe members and took a peek inside their work.

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: In this episode, Nick tags along for a staff meeting

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: and I tell the backstory of how we got to

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: where we are today as an organization.

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: Just a quick heads up, this show does explore some

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: heavy subject matter, including talks of suicide, so listener discretion

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: is advised.

22
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: We couldn't be happier.

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: You're here again. Welcome to the Good Stuff.

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm really excited that you're coming along with us today

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: to experience a day in the life of One Tribe Foundation.

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: Today we have our staff meeting, which is a lot

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: of fun actually because it's where all of us come together.

28
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: We go through each program, each person kind of gives

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: updates from their different program or what events they have

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: coming up. We have a ton of events. We have

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty events that we either host

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: or beneficiaries of that we take part in every year

33
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: or so. Lists and lists and lists of logistics always.

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: But I mean that's truly one of the things I

35
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: love about my job is that no day is the same. Yes,

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: we have our weekly meetings, we have our monthly events,

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: weekly events are annual events, but they all look different

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun, so it keeps it

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: interesting for sure.

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: The reason that is this way is then no one

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: days like the other is because every single person in

42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: the tribe has to wear multiple hats. Yeah, your job title,

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: whatever that may be up to and including CEO, is

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: for societal purposes.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a it's a meaningless label essentially, And.

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is my thoughts exactly.

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so everyone does everything.

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:13,800

00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 7: Primarily what it is, it's not. It's nothing earth shattering

00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,760

00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,520

81
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,800

00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 7: Camera candle.

83
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,480

00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Uncle Buck. We love Uncle Buck. He's our grand old man.

Speaker 5: He is.

86
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: He's actually a verb. We call it getting bucked. So

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: if you get bucked, it means that you were somewhere

88
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: in the office and he comes up to show you

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: a video and then you're standing there for the next

90
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes watching the video.

91
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Bos the grand old man and anything. Literally you could

92
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: ask him to do anything and he do it. Is

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: what happens in this meeting stage right here. How we're

94
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: going to have a meeting. Like the fact that we're

95
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: still in existence is proof there's a god, because I mean,

96
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: we were a ship show for a while. It was

97
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: the very beginning.

98
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was it like in the beginning, It was we.

99
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: Could have never had a reality show.

100
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: And why paint the picture a little bit.

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: No are you recording?

102
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: No, liar, Well.

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: We didn't know what the fuck we were doing, dude,

104
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: we didn't know what the fuck we were doing. And

105
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: there was you know, a handful of us that were

106
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: just fucking all of us. Uh uh almost went hard

107
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: in the paint all the time with partying and just

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: it was crazy because all we were trying to do,

109
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: like we were essentially the original, like bro bat, I

110
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: hate to say that, Oh, but it's it's true, unintentionally

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: unintentionally for different reasons, right, Like it was just.

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: Unpack that.

113
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: So Nick knows, what do you mean? What do you

114
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: mean by that?

115
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: There's vets out there that use their likeness to gain followers,

116
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: make money, right and as opposed to like running a

117
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: foundation focused around being a little emotional wailess or you know,

118
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: something to help further the cause of betterment the veterans

119
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: and their families and those types of things. You know,

120
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: I was always helped, Ben. I'm never like, I'm never

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: gonna sell out. I'm never ever gonna be that person.

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: And even though in the beginning, like I was unintentionally that.

123
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: Person, but I was also not calic addict like hardcore

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 5: Tonight's Tribal Council at six o'clock. That's been going really great.

125
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 5: We're still getting new faces all the time. Just the

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 5: support in that group is just amazing. It's inspiring, awesome.

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: We've got White Star tomorrow night at six and we

128
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: have QPR training coming up next Tuesday, the twenty fifth

129
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 5: with the Carry the Load people.

130
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 4: So one Tribe was birthed in the depth of your

131
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: post war addiction.

132
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: Twenty two Kill was yeah, that evolved into one Track Foundation. Yeah,

133
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: twenty two Kill was.

134
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

135
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: The irony of it, man, it's just insane because it

136
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: was started to raise awareness the veteran suicide epidemic and

137
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: then everybody of all was like either alcoholic addicts, bull

138
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: fucking miserable. Yeah, it's just the irony behind all of

139
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: it is really.

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: Weird because basically you are trying to stop suicide in

141
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: the veteran community while partaking in one of the main

142
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: avenues that can lead people down that path.

143
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: Yep.

144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were extremely happy with a few pictures that

145
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 6: I was able to get at the five K and

146
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 6: send to them. It wasn't very many, but they're excited

147
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 6: that we have something to bring out to the ride

148
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 6: and hopefully we can push more for another palette donation

149
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 6: for carry the Load or another event in the future.

150
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 6: Just he did ask that we get some more pictures

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 6: for their marketing, which is their only ask as per

152
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 6: the donation, and that they made for the five K.

153
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: And it was birthed out of anger.

154
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: Anger at what, you know, I don't know exactly, maybe uh,

155
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: probably the government mostly. And then you know, for me

156
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: must speak for me God a little bit. You know,

157
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: there's just so many things that it was that happened,

158
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: and we knew what it was like to go through

159
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: the TAPS course class and getting out where it's not

160
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: that you don't do anything. You sit there and you

161
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: listen to a representative from probably the VA run they're

162
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: suck for however many hours, and then that's it. Like

163
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: that's like the high five slop on the ass, like

164
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: good luck in life, you know, and it's it's just bullshit.

165
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: Like if they would invest an eighth in US on

166
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: the way out of the military as they do on

167
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: the way in, I think the return on investment would

168
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: be astronomical. But I also think there's selfless reasons that

169
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: the government doesn't do that.

170
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: So twenty two kill was birthed from a place of

171
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: like taking care of taking care of yourselves.

172
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Well, we were trying to take care of our own right.

173
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: We were trying to give our fellow men and women

174
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: to a community sense of belonging, right, and it just

175
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: was not ever based on anything super healthy.

176
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: Why what were some of the first visions of community

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: that you were offering.

178
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it was a pretty seamless transition to

179
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: go from you know, getting blackout drunk on the weekend

180
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: at a bar in California to getting blackout drunk nightly

181
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: at a bar in dw Right, like, and then you

182
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: throw the cloak of community around that. Yeah. Yeah.

183
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 6: There's two young ladies that I've known for roughly ten

184
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 6: plus years. Their dad was in the Air Force. Their

185
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 6: parents split while back. Their mom moved out here three

186
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 6: years ago. She in February. They thought she was having

187
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 6: a stroke, took her to a hospital, found out that

188
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 6: it's brain cancer. The doctors have pretty much given her

189
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 6: anywhere between three and six months, but she is starting

190
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 6: chemo I believe next week. They did it.

191
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: It's interesting because once you start trying to pull back

192
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: from that and then really do it effectively, you know,

193
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: a lot of those like ride or die or hell

194
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: bent or like if you broke like vanish and it's

195
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: really sad. It's super sad. Yeah, because you have all

196
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: types of opinions that fragment people's perception of reality and

197
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: it just destroys relationships. And at the end of the day,

198
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: you know, it's like, for what is that worth it?

199
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: Just because you don't agree or I don't agree, Like

200
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: that is that worth the And I think, but I

201
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: think on top of that, the continuous life decisions play

202
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: a role and said destruction. But whatever relationship, And you know,

203
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: I went one way and being clean and sober and

204
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: trying to just unfuck my life and do the right

205
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: things for the right reasons, and other's some some others didn't.

206
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 4: So it sounds like you were not only the president

207
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: of the club, you were also a client in the

208
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 4: beginning days of twenty two killed. Like eventually you started

209
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 4: listening to what you guys were actually trying to do.

210
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair, that's funny, ironic, that's fair.

211
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: After this quick break, Nick learn's first hand how there's

212
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,559

Speaker 1: as our family seriously.

220
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: He's one of those people that you could go to

00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: and say, hey, we have to go do a thing

222
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: you may not love. People are gonna get hurt, and

223
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: he'd be like, we're taking your car mine.

224
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: I love your office. Tell me about this what am

225
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: I looking at? Let's tell me about some of this

226
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 4: stuff in your office.

227
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 6: So over here is a football autographed by Charles Haley.

228
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: The really cool story behind that is when I first

229
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 6: came on staff, Jake Ashley and I got talking about

230
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys and football, and I brought up that Charles

231
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 6: Haley was like my favorite football player when I was

232
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 6: a kid. And so for Christmas first year on staff,

233
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 6: they gave me a box and I opened it up

234
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 6: and that's what was in there. So hell yeah, that

235
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 6: was pretty awesome, all the stuffed animals and little rubber

236
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 6: snakes and everything. My mom is a bit of a goofball.

237
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 6: So she sends me random toys all the time. So

238
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 6: that's my little collection of toys that my mom sends

239
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 6: me either for Christmas or my birthday or Easter or

240
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 6: whatever holiday she has an excuse for, you know, an

241
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 6: old helmet that Don engraved with one trib one fight

242
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 6: and twenty two kill on it and just kind of

243
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 6: pay homage to the old days.

244
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 4: Plus you got some snacks I see down there.

245
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 6: Definitely always got snacks in the office. Man, Definitely always

246
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 6: have snacks in the office.

247
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: What was the first stage of evolution from essentially a

248
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: drinking club where you tell yourselves you're taking care of

249
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 4: each other to actually doing the hard work of maybe

250
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: battling some of those demons that are getting in the

251
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 4: way of true care.

252
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:27,479
Speaker 2: A good question. Probably the first probably the first suicide

253
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: that was like one of our community, like our people.

254
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: It was that was a that one hit different, right,

255
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: They all suck when we heard about them all the time.

256
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: These are the people call on us asking, you know,

257
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: for resources for funerals and things like that. But the

258
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: first one that like happened within the circle was it

259
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, what the fuck are we doing? And

260
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: I didn't stop drinking and you know, doing the occasional

261
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: drug after that, because I didn't know how to, I

262
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: didn't have the tools. I wasn't equipped to properly deal

263
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: with that and handle it in a healthy manner. Like

264
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: I had no clue, And so what I did was

265
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: I just stayed on. As a matter of fact, yeah,

266
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: I pushed the gas harder on the path of these

267
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: resistance when it comes to filling emotion. The only way

268
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: I knew to avoid that was just to stay numb.

269
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: So that's what I did, matter of the most. And

270
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: because I suck at all things in moderation, I'm not

271
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: good at doing anything halfway. Right.

272
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: If you're like, you know what, I think I need

273
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: to numb this, You're like, actually, I'm gonna feel literally nothing.

274
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: I'm going full numb.

275
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: No, straight up. Yeah, inwardly. Outwardly I guaranthe you're gonna

276
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: null the a knell through my hand and I wouldn't

277
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: even know length.

278
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: So is today like a pretty typical day at the

279
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: office for you?

280
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: Uh?

281
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 6: The morning has started out that way, working with merch

282
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 6: and doing orders and getting ready for the Saturday and

283
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 6: the staff meeting. This afternoons a little bit different because

284
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: we're having a service day and sometimes they don't always

285
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 6: fit on our calendar. But we're going to go help

286
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 6: families whose mother just got diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

287
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 6: We're going to go help clean the house and try

288
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 6: to get some yard working, poolwork done.

289
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: So how do you become aware of a family like

290
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: this that needs your help in this moment.

291
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 6: So in this case, the two daughters that I know,

292
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 6: I've known for a little over ten years, and they

293
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 6: were reaching out on Facebook for help, and I reached

294
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 6: out and connected with them because they were asking for

295
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 6: a need into which we as a tribe could provide for,

296
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 6: which was a little bit of house cleaning. And so

297
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 6: I contacted them and said, what exactly do you need?

298
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 6: And so we're in the process of seeing where we

299
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 6: outside of just helping clean their hous this time, how

300
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 6: many more times we can do it in the future,

301
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 6: and what other services we can help with.

302
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: And I think it starts in the very beginning in

303
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: the military. Obviously, I can only speak for the Marine Corps,

304
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: but from all the buddies I've got from the different branches,

305
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: it's very similar, Like we don't talk about those things

306
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: about the hard things and the losses, especially if it's

307
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: by their own hand, like we you know, let's you know,

308
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: we'll huddle up and everybody good, Okay, just a bunch

309
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: of fake fuckery, surface level shit it you don't drill down,

310
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: you avoid the rule things. That's when we started thinking

311
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: about Okay, I was like, we're really going to get

312
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: in house programming, like we have to get I suppose

313
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: it's just basically having these get togethers, because that's pretty

314
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: much what we did. Like we had get togethers when

315
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: we were around everywhere yelling at people to do push

316
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: ups and ship. More than anything, we we we utilized

317
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 2: in the intimidation factor to make people do it right.

318
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 4: Essentially, you were saying, do twenty two push ups to

319
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 4: recognize the amount of vets we lose.

320
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you know you hate freedom and you suck

321
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: at life like you know, it.

322
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 4: Was if you don't do what I say, you hate freedom.

323
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah it was gross, man, but but it worked, like

324
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: it was it was pretty effective as it was pretty effective.

325
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: But it was after that first one we you know,

326
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: I knew we needed to make a change. And it

327
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 2: wasn't long after that that, after a lot of life

328
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: suck ups, and things that I did that were not

329
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: indicative of right things, right reasons at all. Regularly, we

330
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: have three.

331
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 6: Other people from the office going today and then one

332
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 6: of our advocates is coming with us as well to

333
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 6: see through his connections to see how he can help

334
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 6: with those other services that they need.

335
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard you guys talking about it. Sounds like

336
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: you're going to help them figure out who can donate

337
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 4: some lawnmowing, who can donate some pool clean up, all

338
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 4: these things, how to get Walmart to give you some

339
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 4: gift cards for cleaning supplies. Like that's amazing. It's sort

340
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: of like you guys just snap into focus and I

341
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: was hearing you guys brainstorm different ideas. Oh, they can

342
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 4: donate this, they can donate that.

343
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 6: Well, that's the beautiful thing about establishing relationships with other people,

344
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 6: which is what we pride ourselves on it. We build relationships.

345
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: We just don't build a hey can you help me

00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 6: when I need you kind of yeah, or we're here

347
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 6: if you need us. We really work on involving our

348
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 6: community in the other community things that we do. So

349
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 6: building those relationships with Walmart, building our relationships with this

350
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 6: advocate that's coming out today, those things have benefited us greatly,

351
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 6: and in return, we try to give back where we

352
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 6: can with them, whether volunteer hours or you know, doing

353
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 6: small little things like appreciation awards or dinners or things

354
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 6: like that where we can.

Speaker 4: I know you've got a family to help. So thank

358
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: you so much, Thank you so much.

359
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break, but stick around

360
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back.

361
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: Welcome back.

362
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: We're going to pick back up with Jake telling one

363
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: tribe's backstory.

364
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: I finally stopped drinking and feel the occasional drug And.

365
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: I believe you're using the word occasional ironically.

366
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, I never passed one up. Yeah, there you go, right,

367
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: Like if it was put in front of my face,

368
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: what you're gonna be like, No, I'm good. I never

369
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: bought them. I didn't have to. Plenty prevalent. Sure, you

370
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: know they were like there was Uber for drugs long

371
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: before there was Uber for food, sure or Uber for

372
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: people need it? Right?

373
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, to all the kids out there, you should be

374
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: able to do this thing called call a drug dealer

375
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: and they would show up.

376
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: Just disclaimer, we do not condone that no, But I

377
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: mean the to date, I've buried a lot of people

378
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: I don't know very well, like over a couple dozen

379
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: that have died by suicide, and not one of them

380
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: was clean or sober when they did it. So there's

381
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: something to that. Yeah, And so it was like that

382
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: had a massive impact on me. But and knowing that

383
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 2: if I'm going to do this thing and make a

384
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 2: true impact, I have to do it right first. I

385
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: have to do it the way that not only works

386
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: for me, but I know that we'll work for a

387
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: bunch of other people, right, Like I think drugs and

388
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: alcohol are bad for people like me, Like because I

389
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: suck at If one pill works, then I know five

390
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: are gonna be awesome. And like that's always been my

391
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: mentality with adrenaline, with any of it. And so I

392
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: knew that I needed to bear down and get my

393
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 2: shit together, and so that's what I focused on. And

394
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 2: then a lot of shit went down. A lot things happened. Man,

395
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: There was some internal shit and with people trying to

396
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: this is just bad people that I poured into, entrusted

397
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: and then backstabbing and h you know, the essentially trying

398
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: to establish a coup behind my back h self and

399
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: it was just uh. But thereby, but for the grace

400
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: of God, I was cleaning sober during all this, and

401
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: I really learned how to feel, truly feel what I

402
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 2: was feeling, and sift through it with logic and reason,

403
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: devoid of emotion, and do all these things that I

404
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: knew how to do. I knew that it was the

405
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: right thing to do, especially by this point because we're

406
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: talking four or five years after inception of twenty two fool.

407
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: So I mean I knew these things from all the

408
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: conferences and the things I'd been to and working for

409
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: Center for Brain Health and Brain Performances too. Like I

410
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: had all these tools, I just never put them into practice.

411
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: I was walking, eating, breathing contradiction. You know. I was

412
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 2: a straight up hypocrite for years. And that's when it

413
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 2: was like, all right, I gotta I gotta bear down, man,

414
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: it's just gotten and it's gone too far. Until I did,

415
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: and then a lot of things started to change. And

416
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: there was no lack of pain or uncomfortability, for sure,

417
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: but it was for the better. For sure. It was

418
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: for the better.

419
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: So flash forward, now you've got one tribe foundation. Guys

420
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 4: just moved into your big, beautiful new offices. Explain to

421
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: me what one tribe is doing today, how it functions,

422
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 4: and what's up with it.

423
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: We're doing the work now right like we're doing we're

424
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: no shit helping people in order to help people. And

425
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: it's tough, like it's hard work. It's hard work spiritually

426
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 2: and emotionally, which I think in turn makes it exhausting,

427
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: especially when you don't implement and practice self care, healthy

428
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: selfish like it will it will drive you into the

429
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: ground if you don't check that, which I'm very good

430
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: about letting the tribe not like, hey, you, you and

431
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 2: your family's well being comes first. Everything we do is

432
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: secondary to that, and that will always be the case

433
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: as long as my title is my title, because that's

434
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: my choice and the buck stops with me. So it's like,

435
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: you know, it's important because it is very it's very

436
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: it's it's considerably soul grinding work because you get to

437
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: know these people and you, I think naturally start to

438
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: love these people and really care for them and their

439
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: well being, and then you lose them. You know, we

440
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: go through that pretty much yearly. And there's a lot

441
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: of people that don't want anything to do with that.

442
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: That's why I always say, like if you, if anyone

443
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: wants to know what true courage is, like, go talk

444
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: to someone from the tribe, because they're gonna love you

445
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: all the way, knowing that there's a chance they're gonna

446
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: lose you, but they're gonna love you all the way anyway.

447
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: That to me is true courage because most people avoid

448
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: that at all costs because they want to avoid pain.

449
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 4: It's powerful to me because you guys use a quote

450
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 4: a lot, and I might not get it exact, but

451
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: it's something like serving those who run towards the fight,

452
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 4: but one tribe runs towards the fight.

453
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's a collective statement. Yeah, it's an all encompassing statement.

454
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: Like you don't have to be in a uniform running

455
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: towards a fight, right, Like you could be a mom

456
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: running toward her kids to help in whatever it may be.

457
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 2: You could be a teacher running towards a student. That

458
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: to me, it's an all encompassing statement, and it's not

459
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: just indicative of the categorical demographics that we serve right now.

460
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: That could be anybody they get. In order to really

461
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 2: make an impact, to stop a destructive path, you know,

462
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: you have to be able to meet that force with

463
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: equal or greater force. It's the only way it works

464
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: in physics and in life. And if you're not willing

465
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 2: to do that, then just move out of the way,

466
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: because you're only in the way. And I've learned that

467
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people aren't really, really truly willing to

468
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: meet that force with equal or greater force, and so

469
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 2: then a lot of bad shit happens. So it is

470
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: very difficult to find those people that have the grit

471
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 2: and the grace, gratitude understanding to be able to do

472
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: that on a consistent basis. So it's the only way

473
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: that you're really going to make an impact. And it's again,

474
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 2: it's exhausting work, it's tiring. So for me, it is

475
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: vitally important to make sure that I'm a raw first

476
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: and foremost within that office is second to none, because

477
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: without that you have you don't have shit. And so

478
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: I'm hyper focused on making sure that they all know

479
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: their worth, that they all know that they are a

480
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: vital role in the overall task at hand, whatever it

481
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: may be. That there is no weak link, and there's

482
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: not a lot of entities that can say that. And

483
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: I take a lot of pride in that because these

484
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: people are you know, they're way more than just people

485
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: to me. You know, every one of them I view

486
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: is family.

487
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 4: All right, Cool, so you're back. So how did it

488
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 4: go over at the house today helping the family?

489
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 6: He went really good. We had a few of us

490
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 6: there and then, like I said, James came and he

491
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 6: really helped out in a lot of different ways.

492
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

493
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 6: So outside of just helping clean the house, especially they

494
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 6: really needed it. We were able to help clean the

495
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 6: pool and figure out a solution with their pool moving forward.

496
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 6: And also James really stepped up in a way of

497
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 6: offering advice on how they can get started to be

498
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 6: prepared to sell the house. Yeah, because unfortunately it looks

499
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 6: like the inevitable is going to happen. The other's going

500
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 6: to pass away. It is stage four cancer, So just

501
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 6: getting ready in those lines, and he's offered to step

502
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 6: up because he has background and helping in that and

503
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 6: things like that. Also, there was a lot of optimism

504
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 6: with showing up that when I said I was coming

505
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 6: by with a couple of people, they didn't think I

506
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 6: was showing up with five of us to help clean

507
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 6: their house. So they were really impressed and happy with that,

508
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 6: and they really they were really grateful to have the help.

509
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, how did that feel for you?

510
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 6: For me, it just it warmed my heart for us

511
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 6: to be able to be there at my heart talking

512
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: with them, just because I've known two of the sisters

513
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 6: for so long.

514
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but to.

515
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 6: See how they're kind of dealing with it, to see

516
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 6: how they're grateful for some the little things like what

517
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 6: we did and some of the other things that are

518
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 6: going on in their life, and being grateful for these

519
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 6: moments that they're still able to have with their mom.

520
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 6: Like more than anything, it warmed my heart and it

521
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 6: was really a blessing to be able to go out

522
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 6: and serve them in that manner.

523
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. Man, So I guess just an average day in

524

Speaker 6: out of our our normal zones of what we do
