WEBVTT - Mid-Week Mom (& Dad) Chat: Willie Powers. 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.280 This is already going to bed, y'all. I've convinced my 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:10.360 brother in law, Willie Powers, to come on my midweek 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:17.280 Mom and dad. We've changed it podcast because we're in quarantine, y'all, Corona. 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:23.759 So we have quarantined together. My sister has been married 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.520 to Willie for how many years? Now? How did you 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:32.680 ask me trick questions? We have been married for fourteen years. 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:38.479 So Willie is really Willie is really like my brother 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.440 because he has been with me through all of my 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:46.680 adolescent phases where I was a hot mess. We could say, 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:51.400 oh yeah, we could definitely say that Willie quarantine quarantining 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.600 together for a long time. Willie has taught me why 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.680 did you drop your diet coat? Everything's fine, Everything's fine. 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.840 It's a fine um. When I was in the midst 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.319 of I mean, what crisis is? Have you helped me navigate? 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.600 You can be honest, I'm very real on this podcast. 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.720 I mean, we rescued you from Spain. Oh god, it 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:18.320 started back and you hated my guts. Oh I hated you. 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.240 Tell everyone how I hated you. I was such a 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.720 little brat. Well it wasn't your fault. I mean your 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.559 sister and I were that I was such a brat. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.000 Oh my god, puppy love. We were calling each other nicknames, 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.960 and you just had like mad, I know you're you 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.199 and will you and Kat were like, hey number one, 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.920 Hey number one, there's my number one. Everyone was sick 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.520 of it. Y'all were so goo goo gaga and love. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.200 I was like, I was anti love at that point too. 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.480 I've never been in love, and I thought love was stupid. 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.240 And now all of a sudden, you, I think you 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.400 were taking all of my attention from Catherine because used 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.040 to dote on me, and now she could have given 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.800 two cents about me. She is the ultimate caretaker, and 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:04.040 I'm sure you had had um had the blessing of that. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.760 I'm sorry if I she only ruled my life. She 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.960 made my college schedules for me. She cooked me every 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.480 dinner I would take. When I went to Baylor for 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.040 a year, I would take my laundry over there. She 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.880 would do on my laundry. Haven't I came up? We're 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.320 now that we're quarantined together again. We shared laundry. We 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.400 did all our laundry, and one she had everything folded 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.280 up perfectly like it was on a display at buckle, dude, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.200 I mean that she she does it all day long. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:26.800 I don't know how she keeps up with it all. 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.720 But anyway, yes, I'm sure I stole a little bit 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:33.720 about from you. Back then, I was just jealous because 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.400 y'all were cute. We were pretty cute. Anyway, that was fun. 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:43.520 We went and picked you up from Spain Compostella at 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:50.480 San Jose, Santiago de Compostella, and you had been eating potato. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.360 What are those things called little sandwiches? So here's the 0:02:55.400 --> 0:03:00.359 thing in Spain, a sandwich they have espanola, was it? 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.160 It's my favorite they have. They sell cookies everywhere you 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.800 go with fiber in them because the food is so 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.240 constipating in that country that you have to eat these 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.000 fiber cookies just to process at all. But that was fun. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.840 We went and ran with the bulls. You ran with 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.919 the bulls, ran from the bulls. I wish I would 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.919 have had more consciousness at this time of my life. 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.840 I was so insane in my head. I didn't know 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.200 how to think straight. I don't even know what I 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.280 was trying to think about. So I don't everything's a 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.200 big giant blurred Are you suggesting something's changed about this. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.040 I feel like I have much more focus now. Back 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.480 then I probably was focused on like I was boy crazy. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.800 Oh my god, I was so boy crazy. You have 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.800 been through a lot of my boy craziness, all the boys. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.920 Willie's like a good judge of character. I always start 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.520 trying to kind of date someone, especially when I was 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.720 living in Austin, and he'd be like, m hm hmm, yeah, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.360 but you know, then you met a man. But you 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.360 knew Michael first part time, the first halftime show and 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.800 second halftime show. You've noticed the whole time I did. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.400 And he made a lot of sense to me the 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.200 first time around, and made a lot of sense to 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.400 me the second time around. I think it's so great 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.800 that you guys have ended up together. And uh, most 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.200 notably because Sunny is so cute. She's really the reason. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.920 Back to running with the bulls, what was that experience? Like, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.320 it was really crazy. You know the year that we 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.920 did that, um, so a lot of new laws went 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.120 into effect. Your dad, this is a this is kind 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:39.400 of a cutburst family thing. Before we went, your parents 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.480 had planned the trip. We were all going to go, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.200 but your parents had been on a bunch of trips 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.039 and I think they'd had some some of your dad's 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.880 dentistry courses back to back and they were blown out 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:55.240 of traveling and they elected to let us go. Um, 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.279 we were not married at this time. You and Kath 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.600 were not married, and I was like twenty I wonder, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.640 wonder what year that was. You all got married with 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.040 Ka was twenty five, so y'all were probably twenty four. Yeah, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.800 we might have not even been engaged at No, y'all 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.440 were just young love kids floating around the world together. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.520 It was me, the angry, grumpy sister, and two keep 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.520 people madly loved sharing a hotel room in Spain, traveling 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.080 around together. Oh, I could have just thrown up, Well, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.520 such a brat. I think I probably did throw us 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.640 after drinking they had they sell that rio ha. It 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.560 was like dr pepper and red wine mix together. I mean, 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.000 oh my gosh. But anyway, we had read your your 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.480 dad had read this book. We're sitting around reading this 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.040 book about how to Run with the bulls. He googles 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.560 a guy's name and calls four one one, which probably 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.359 none of your listeners even know what that is. But 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.320 you can dial four one one on the phone and 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.480 you could say, I need the phone number for x 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.400 y Z person in x y Z City. We called 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:02.000 the guy at his house and um, I'm getting instruction. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.040 You know, we didn't. We just kind of this. I 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.599 don't know how to do this, and we haven't talked 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.480 about the safe word. What's the safe word? Um? What 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.360 should it be? Well? I use the really offensive ones usually, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.440 I mean, we can go with mistletoe this time. Okay, 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.760 we'll go with mistletoe. All right, I don't even know. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.800 We're really like, he's like, listen, what are we gonna 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.720 talk about? Like, it's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.800 everything's gonna be fine. Well, it's fine so far. We 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.039 got missiletoe if we needed so. Anyway, he calls the guy. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.599 He tells us how to do it. But when we 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.640 get there, they have changed the rules. Now they had 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.240 you had to enter the street at one side and 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.600 run all the way down to the Colosseum. And if 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.560 you got to the Colisseum before the bulls, the locals 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.240 would pelt you with rotten tomatoes for being a coward 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.600 and because you need to hang with the bulls. That's right, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.039 that's right. The Wooseys are the ones who got to 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.520 the colisseum first, and they would just rock you with 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.120 with rotten fruit. So but I didn't care. I ran 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.680 as fast as I have ever run in my life 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.719 as soon as they let the bulls on the streets 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.839 because the bulls buck people, they actually kill people. Yes, yeah, 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.440 it's it's not safe. No, this is totally not safe. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.440 Locked into the streets, it's not like you can take 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.600 a lift if you get nervous. They have these huge 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.559 barriers keeping you on the street and there are people 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.760 above yelling at you. This isn't really insane thing. People's 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.280 streets are slippery, it's wet and soggy, and everybody's drunk. 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:28.080 It's just it's a lot of fun and leading up 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.280 to this, Katherine Willie and I. You wear these white outfits, 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.000 so you have like white pants and white shirt and 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.520 a red sash so you tire around your waist. Everyone 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:44.400 in the entire city, what's the city called pop shoot mistletoe. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.600 So you're wearing these red sashes around this white Pamplona 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.440 white outfits and everyone's drinking sangria and they're like there's 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.800 like people just holding pictures in Sangrea. You walk by 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.440 on those port in your mouth, like it was just 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.920 wild on the streets. We were in this wild part, 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.760 we would have all had coronavirus, oh for sure, for sure. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.080 And then you wake up. You just drink all the time. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.480 Everyone's hanging out, and then the running of the bulls happened, 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:17.000 so everyone's drunk, which is totally extra and safe. Man. Well, anyway, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.960 I got to the I've ran down that street, got 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.080 to the Colisseum. We're so happy to see you. I 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.960 turned around because I wasn't going to run through that 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.440 tunnel until there was bulls, and so I just waited 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.760 and waited and waited until the first bull came around 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.679 the corner and I started running, and so he and 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.040 I entered the stadium simultaneously knocked me over on the ground. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.600 The bull knocked you over. Well, it's hard to explain, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.559 but it's just a massive human beings. There were forty 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.360 or fifty people at that same time with the bull, 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.439 and so I don't know. Anyway, it was really fun 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.199 and it was a great baptism into being a member 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.199 of your family. Because since then I've done about seventy 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.560 six other in the same things. But it's never thought 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.600 I would do. I mean, we have hiked the We've 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.400 hiked all over the place. I mean, my family does 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.640 not get together wearing matching puffy jackets and matching hiking 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:16.120 shoes and trudge over mountains, but your family does. And 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.800 so we did in Milford Track in New Zealand. That 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.320 was beautiful. Um. We were talking, Katherine and I were 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.640 talking about that yesterday, going to do that again at 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.600 some point with Genevieve maybe. Um. And that's where we 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.160 hacked like seven or eight miles a day, thirty five 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.520 miles total. But it was really nice, Like the lawnmen 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.920 flew helicopters up and down the trail keeping up with it. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.800 And you didn't have to pack water. You just had 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.760 to pack a cup and you could scoop it out 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.920 of the rivers. That was so cool. And then we 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.840 did the Inca Trail. That was a whole different story. 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.880 Tell me about that one, Willie will This is in Peru. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:59.480 The Inca Trail was did not have a helicopter clad people. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.960 They were like, it was the rivers are dirty, the 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:10.640 water is dangerous, the food is treacherous. And I think 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:17.920 day three of that hike, I came down with the 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:22.320 most awful stomach disorder that a human being can get 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.600 in the middle of nowhere. You cannot get out. We 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.480 are in the we are three days in, so we're 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.080 probably almost thirty miles into the middle of nowhere, way 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.640 to Machu Picchu and halfway back home. There's no getting out, 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.240 and there's nowhere to go to the bathroom, and you 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.359 to keep going. You gotta walk the rest of the way. 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.760 I was doing everything you can do when you have 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.880 one of these stomach disorder, and to miss the top 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.839 of all. The first night it hit me, and I'm 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.680 not going to go into any too many details, maybe 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.920 a couple of details, but I'm in a tent on 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.280 the mountain side and I go, oh, my goodness, us, 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.120 I've got a problem. I ran out of the tent 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.679 to go to the bathroom. I get there, there's four 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.920 of these, the porters that came along with us, who 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.280 carried all the food and things like that, and they 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.680 have this in the restroom they have it's just basically 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.680 a room, and there's a hole in the middle of 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.480 the room, and on either side of the hole they 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.400 have salt saltillo tile floors. But the two holes next 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.000 to the or the two tiles next to the hole 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.840 have footprints in them to show you exactly where you're 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.200 supposed to stand. Oh my gosh. Anyway, it's just a 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.199 hole in the ground to go to the bathroom and 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.840 send some time in there. Well, there was five guys 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.360 in front of me and I had to wait for them. 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.080 It wasn't good. It was not good. I mean, I 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.320 was throwing up. We had to go get some medicine 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.640 from our guide in the middle of the night, and 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.920 the next three days were really rough. Your dad came along, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.079 you know, like to get that. I think we were 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.280 we were either and you were engaged at this point. 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.920 We weren't married. I don't think your dad came up 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.880 to me and I was still like, he's doctor cut werth. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.120 You know, I've got a lot of respect for him. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.079 He is all my friends warn me when I started 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.360 dating your sister. He is gonna climb up a tree 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.400 you shoot you in the middle of the night. He's dangerous. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.320 Watch out for this guy. And he came up to 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.520 me and he put his hand on my shoulder as 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.560 I'm crouched throwing up over the side of this mountain, 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:36.360 freezing cold, wet, sick. You know, this is my hundredth 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.600 mile to hike with your family. And he said, you 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:44.040 are right, and I said, get your epping hand off 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.280 of me, and he said I understood, and he kept walking. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.439 He just knew I needed some piece and quiet to 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.839 just to be there on the side of the hill. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.839 But he really cleared the way from Michael. He has 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.800 had it so much like I feel like you really 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.439 had to break the ice of like coming into our family. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.400 And then Michael's just gotten to float right in. He 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.440 owes me big time. He totally does. I really took 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.480 a lot of the took a lot of that. You're 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.360 a good sport Willie. Yeah, And here I am. We 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:20.360 still together. Fourteen years. You've been married to Catherine. You've 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.640 been through the many phases of mind sanity. When you say, 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.400 I've kind of started leveling up. You're awesome, You're not insane, 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:36.560 You're not you are you are spirited than you. I 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.480 think you've described yourself as somebody who has different versions 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:45.360 of yourself. You know, when it comes to um emotions 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.960 and perception. You know, some days you wake up and 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.560 it's you're rocking and rolling. Some days it's you know, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.440 you're looking at it a different way. But you have 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.800 always been kind, You have always been sweet. Beginning been 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.920 funny once I got to it. Even then, you know, 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.240 that was that was explainable. It was understandable. I'm dating 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.840 your older sister. Of course at point, well, it's okay, 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.240 I was. I didn't take it that way. I just was. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.880 I laughed it off. I thought it was you know, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.439 it was a completely acceptable response to what you were 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.320 dealing with. Well, And I used to be a lot 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.520 more like angry and upset too, because I was so 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.160 just lost and trying to navigate and find footing, as 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.160 you do. Everyone does it in different ways. I was 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.760 a little more like angsty. Isn't it surprising that you 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.040 when you're a kid, you think, I can't wait to 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.280 be an adult, so I'll have everything figured out. And 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.560 then you know, Bethan's figured out. It's all the same. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.960 You know, you're still you still have to wake up 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:47.520 and work through you know, everything, work through challenges. What 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.640 have you learned about life? Because I feel like you're 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.040 someone who I always think is really wise, Like every 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.280 time Michael and I are stressed, or like Michael's going 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.960 through something, he's like I just gotta call Willie. I'm 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.640 just gonna call Willie and get his opinion on this, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.680 because he's got such a great opinion. And I feel 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.560 that way about you. I feel like you always are 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:08.800 able to have a good, clear, well rounded opinion. Well 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.520 that's really sweet of you to say that. But I, um, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.040 I am human just like everybody else. You know, I 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.720 have to think through things and find a way to 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.720 I can't take a lot of credit for that. I 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.440 think I was born naturally wanting to be happy. I 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.320 wake up every day trying to find a way to 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:36.080 be happy. And I'm about logical and so I can 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.880 use logic to get there and and leisure to get there. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.600 So I, you know, the logic side of me spends 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.040 a lot of time wondering about the math that's going 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.560 to take to where I don't wake up in a panic, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.800 you know, like during this this coronavirus thing. You know, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.720 how do you keep your house in order so that 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.520 when I'm in the oil and gas. But this and 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:05.720 it is very mercurial. I mean you We've had years 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.960 where we've made lots and lots of money. We have 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.560 had years where we made zero money, and so the 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.200 logic side of me says, the year the zero years 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.520 are coming again and there lots of lots of years. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.840 Put it away and be ready for that. Um you 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:27.720 know so I think there. I mean your question was 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.400 what have I learned about life? Life is just going 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.200 to be up and down and over. I mean, you 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.440 just gotta be ready for the ups, have fun when 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.800 it's up, rein it in when it's when it's down. 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:46.000 Like this week, we ain't ordering everything off Amazon this week. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.200 You know we're not. We did eat at the nicest 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.520 takeaway from the nicest sushi places. We had to take 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.360 advantage of the fact that they're offering take away. I'll 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.160 pull in there. I pulled in there with a trailer 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.280 and a lawnmower on the back of it side by side. 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:06.520 Probably not their standard customer, but anyway, Yeah, I think 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:12.359 you just uh if if you are finding yourself unhappy, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.920 for me, it's usually because I'm not doing something engaging 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.320 or I don't feel good. And so I would say 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.320 when you're when you're in that state of mind, go 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.560 for a walk. You don't have to lose twenty pounds today, 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.800 just go for a walk. It's your blood moving. If 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.920 you ate a bunch of cookies yesterday before you eat 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.800 all the cookies today. We're having to do this in 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.560 in Wuarrantine. By the way, we have so much good 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:41.520 food here. Pepper for breakfast sharing is the world's most 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:48.160 wonderful um supplier and caretaker and quartermaster. This house has 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:53.720 probably seventeen thousand rounds of ammumunition and a bunch of food. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.359 By the way, if you think about coming here to 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.040 get any of that, you won't make it through the 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.600 front gate. Very good with our rifles. Yeah, yeah, I 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.720 have been hog hunting every night. Last night Michael and 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.679 I go outside to sit on the front porch and 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.040 Willie's out there on the side by side, which is 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.960 full of inner tubes because they're floating down the river 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:16.480 like siding in a hog barefoot. Well, great, when they 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.760 run past, that's when you got to shoot them. I know, um, 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.439 but no, we uh, I think that, you know. I 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.399 have had it made a conscious decision to eat some 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.680 carrots before I eat some twigs. And that's too because 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.640 I want to feel good, you know. And and so 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.920 when you're feeling good, you can think good. When you 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.639 think good, you can be emotionally good and so I 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.320 don't know. That's I just try to stay feeling good 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:48.639 and and do things that don't get me in trouble. Yeah, 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.080 you know that's I don't want to be in trouble. 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.320 I don't want to boon in trouble. Where does that 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.520 so from not wanting to be in trouble? I was 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.760 born that way. I hated being in trouble when I 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.240 was a like, you know, they would write your name 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.719 on the chalkboard when you're in trouble. Oh man, just 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.359 seeing my name on the board if that ever happened, 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.000 and it was never my fault. Mom, uh, the other 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.800 kids were talking to me. But um yeah, I just 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.960 never ever wanted to be in trouble. I don't like that. 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.760 And it's probably, you know, the deeper side of that 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.200 is an ego thing or you know, you just want 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:28.879 to be looking like you're doing a good job. And 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.920 it's uh, do you I mean, do we talk about 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:36.360 the angiogram? I'm number seven? I don't. I've never read 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.000 the book. I've just been diagnosed as this by you 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.440 and your sister. Well know, we made you take a test. 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:46.479 Oh yeah, that's right out here. Actually, so my I mean, 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.000 my pursuit is leisure, right, I'm always looking for a 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.520 good time, and being in trouble is an interruption of that. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.360 And so I don't want to live in the dold rooms. 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.439 I don't want your sister to be mad at me. 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.119 I don't want my parents to be mad at me. 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.040 I don't want my teachers to be mad at me. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.840 And do you just want to stay lighthearted? Yes? And 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.879 you can't do that if you're if you're doing stupid suh. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.640 That's very true. So you kind of always just gravitated 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:16.240 in that direction selfishly to keep the party going. I 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.800 want everybody to be having fun, you know. In Michael's 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.480 seven too, And I feel like y'all he'll get a 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.120 little he doesn't care for people about us at at 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.960 him a little bit less than you do. I say that, right, 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.280 I mean he's a little he's a little more fine 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:32.080 with He's a turist too, so he's a little more 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.119 bullish sometimes. Oh oh wait a minute, we're going to 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.919 do that. But no, but y'all get oh yeah, what 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.080 is your sign cancer? You you're a crap. No, I'm 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:47.760 a that's for sure. Tiger tiger king, the lion king 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.240 is everybody watching Tiger King. Oh my gosh, oh man, 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:56.280 it is something else. Thank God for Tiger King. He 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.160 really has has saved the world. Know, we've all got 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.000 something to talk about, uh huh that we all can 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:07.120 laugh about and relate to. So tell me about your childhood. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.240 What how did you get shaped by your childhood? Because 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:11.680 there's a bunch of y'all and y'all grew up on 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:15.200 a farm and you did crazy things with like knives 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:19.400 and things. Y'all were like always playing with dangerous tools. 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.000 I mean I have lived a charmed lifestyle life. I 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.440 mean as a kid, I had parents. I think this 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.720 is this weighs into everything you know, because it shapes 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.119 who you are. Eventually, he's going to give some parenting 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:35.600 advice to all the dads there later on. I'm almost forty. 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:37.840 I'm not quite old enough to give advice. Your dad 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.119 said fifty was the year you could start. When you're fifty, 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.919 you can give advice. But then he turned sixty and 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.200 he said you have to be sixty give advice. It's 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.639 a rolling number. Um. Yeah, I know. I had a 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:55.160 wonderful childhood. I have uh five great brothers and sisters 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:59.399 who there was the older crop of four than there 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.280 were nine years. Then I came along and then my 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.360 parents had Tim the play friend for me. So Tim 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.320 and I kind of had our own thing going in childhood. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.919 That that age gap obviously has gone away at this 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:16.959 point we're all in the stride of of life and 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:22.280 working together on things. But the yeah, we had a 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:25.240 cool Well you said I grew up on a farm. 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.040 Really I we we have a family ranch. It's a ranch. Like, 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:33.920
