Actually, that's what breaking up is. You know, Wayne, 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: if you're not careful, you're gonna lose me. I lost 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: you two months ago. 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 3: Are you mental? 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 4: We broke up? 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: Get the nap. 13 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 4: I saw this video. I mean, I've been seeing a 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 4: lot of videos anyone else having a hard time not 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 4: just breaking down crying several times a day because you're 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 4: just watching the horror happen. Well, you have so many 17 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 4: people around you that either have no idea, you don't 18 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 4: pretending it's not and like you're crazy and you're just 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 4: a conspiracy theorist and you're just insane, and you just 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 4: start too dramatic and you seed to calm down. 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're doing it again, you hysterical nut job. 22 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 4: You want to help, and there's nothing you can do 23 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: because you don't have money. You have billions of dollars 24 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: you don't have. I don't have any dollars that I 25 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 4: can spare greatly want truly, but that's the only thing 26 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 4: that seems to kind of make a difference. 27 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: You can't even do that. 28 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: You can only speak, and now we can't even speak, 29 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 4: so watch and cry it is. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, you're. 31 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 5: Screeching on and the cats need to be fat. 32 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 4: You know, the worse it gets, It's not like the 33 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 4: quieter I want to get. It's the angrier I get, 34 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 4: the louder I want to be. I've just been screaming 35 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: for so long that I'm not sure who I'm even 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 4: talking to anymore. 37 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: Who's left? That's still what else do you need to see? 38 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm noticing a lot of questions about tariffs, So let's 39 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: talk about tariffs. I know that's not riveting radio, I 40 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: get it, but I think it's important that we all understand. 41 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't want you to support Donald Trump's policies because 42 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: they're Donald Trump's policies, because that would make you no 43 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: different than a Democrat. I want you to understand those 44 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: policies and come to an independent, reasoned response as to 45 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: whatever that will be. Not everybody on our side is 46 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: going to support the teriffs, and some of them will 47 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: be for reasons that they can clearly articulate and are principled, 48 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: and that's fine. This is not a sporting event where 49 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: we root for our team and they root for their team. 50 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: We're talking about making good policy for this country, and 51 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that. But quickly two emails, 52 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: Travis writes, please don't mention out loud my wife's company. 53 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: They're very well. Okay, I'm going to mention it, but 54 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: not out loud. Are you ready? 55 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 6: Okay? 56 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: So she works for Blank at their corporate office. She 57 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: has clawed her way for sixteen years. We are high 58 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: school sweethearts. We're both forty two. I'm six four, one 59 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: ninety eight. People know I like this. She's five ten 60 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: one point thirty. You know, tall people marry tall people. 61 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 7: You know. 62 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: It's that. It's a breeding thing, the animal instinct. They 63 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: want to keep their their bloodlines high. The tall people 64 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: like tall people. She's five ten, one thirty but pregnant. 65 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: I just got her pregnant again, so I effectively win 66 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: all the battles of who's right. Long story. I love 67 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: her dearly and I'm so proud of her that gum. 68 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: The things I can tell you off air, dude, you're 69 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: a dude. You don't have to tell I already know 70 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: you've put her through hell and back. She tolerates you, 71 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: she loves you. Women have a weakness. Thank God for it. 72 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: God plants in women a weakness that they love us 73 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: for all of our faults, and they stay with us 74 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: aside from the fact that we're incorrigible, unbearable, of noxious, 75 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing, and they continue to love us. And 76 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: that's just it really is, as people say, a God thing, 77 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: We're wired this way. It's in our DNA. That's why 78 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: couples say together. I've noticed I've had so many friends 79 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: that have multiple divorces, and it breaks my heart every 80 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: time because, in addition to the obvious of you have 81 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: to cut things in half. But before you cut things 82 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: in half, let's take twenty five percent off and pay 83 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: it to the lawyers. And then there's the nasty. There's 84 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: the ugly, the things that are said and the things 85 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: that are said to mutual friends about how bad you 86 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: are and people believe it because it's your spouse. And 87 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: then there's the dividing up of the assets, the dogs, 88 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: the houses, and the friends. A lot of people don't 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: remain friends with both sides of a couple, and so 90 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: that's traumatic because now part of that, part of that 91 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: is carved out of you. You just part of you 92 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: is just being carved away. Like the knights that go 93 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: knee in money Python. You remember where he's hacking his 94 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: arm and that didn't hurt before. He's led just a nub. 95 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: He's just a brain and just a head and a nub. 96 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: It's tough. 97 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: But I see folks that have multiple divorces and they 98 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: will say to me, men and women, and women will 99 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: email in because they don't think I understand how women think. 100 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: And perhaps I don't, but I do have you know, 101 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: I do have a wife, I did have a mother. 102 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: I do have some empathy for the feminine condition, whether 103 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: you realize that or not. But people will talk about 104 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: that the reason they got divorced, the reason it didn't work, 105 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: And then they will list an imperfection in the other person. 106 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's movies or fantasy or 107 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: cartoons or people are not perfect. Nobody is perfect. The 108 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: challenge is to learn to embrace the things you most 109 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: want to change about the person you once loved. I 110 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times I have seen and 111 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: this is a woman thing. They can't help it. It's 112 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: also why they're good mothers, why they raise children better 113 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: than men do. Buy and large is that the very 114 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: things that women fall in love with about a man, 115 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: the minute they got him locked down, they start trying 116 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: to change them. And is there something about that. They 117 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: have this romantic notion of he's going to be perfect, 118 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: and by perfect, I mean he's going to have a 119 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: testosterone level of eighty and he's going to be sitting 120 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: on the couch watching cuddly English sitcoms or rom coms 121 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: and crying over movies while Fife sits on y'all's lap 122 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: and y'all plan out the threadcount of the next round 123 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: of bed sheets you're going to buy. That's not what 124 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: you want, but they think they want that, and they're 125 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: disappointed that he wants to go hunting and fishing with 126 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: his buddies. But that's really what you want. That's the 127 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: biological necessity. Anyway, back to old boy, he says, Anyway, 128 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: we have owned or at least mortgaged eight homes and 129 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: moved all over America for this company. She now is 130 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: in the bullpen, after having had assistants and offices all 131 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: over America no family picture is allowed in the office. 132 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: It's a damn shame, he said. They were talking about 133 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: that at seven o'clock this morning. How the company approached 134 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: now is to take away you're There's a fellow named 135 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Hassen's a Texas energy company executive. He dropped everything 136 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: to join DOGE because he feels it's his patriotic duty. 137 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: He was running five businesses in Houston. He was on 138 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: Fox recently. He's working with Elon. Now. Somebody knows Tyler Hassen. 139 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: I want to interview him. It's a great story. Somebody helped. 140 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: Somebody connect me. 141 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 6: Email me that you can connect you with Tyler Hassenming up. 142 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 5: On South three Hill, I can see the city light. 143 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 6: Wind. 144 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Often get emails from people who will say things like 145 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: I don't understand these tariffs but or I only have 146 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: a ged but or I didn't do well in school, 147 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: or I'm not smart. That one upsets me, and it 148 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: upsets me because I'm worried that people are going through 149 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: life believing that our listeners. If you view yourself as 150 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: not being smart and you listen to our show, that's 151 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: partly my fault. I have failed, not just you and 152 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: everyone around you. When my kids were in elementary school, 153 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: if there was a kid who came top of the class, 154 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: invariably an Indian every year, even as we change schools, 155 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: they'd say, you know, Kesh is smart. No, on what 156 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: basis is a Kesh smart? Well, he got the top score. 157 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: So if so, let's say Michael or Crockett, So what 158 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: did you get on your test ninety seven? Was that 159 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: the highest grade? No, was the highest grade hundred? Who 160 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: got one hundred? A Kesh, Well, then you get it. 161 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: A Kesh is smart. Smart is a reference to what 162 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: you're born with. It is not a function of your output. 163 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: Going back to the Tom Brady interview I told you 164 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: about this weekend, he talked about the skill set and 165 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: profile of a top performing athlete, not just a quarterback 166 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: in talent wasn't even in the mix. What you're born 167 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: with is responsible for some percentage, and whether it's sports, academics, entrepreneurism, 168 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: chemical engineering, I mean they're probably I know there are 169 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: studies on performance, and those studies will tell you that 170 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: some percentage of that is what you're born with. That 171 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: is true, but it's certainly not the dominant percentage. It 172 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: is a function of what you do with that your perseverance. 173 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: And I have found perseverance to be probably the single 174 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: most important aspect of a successful business person. The ability 175 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: to recreate willingness to get up donno mcclerkinstyle when you 176 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: get knocked down. Let's take Bill Clinton, not a guy 177 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: we like, bad politics. It's comeback all the above Bill Clinton, 178 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: going back to nineteen seventy six. Nineteen seventy six, he 179 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: is elected attorney general of Arkansas. A bit of an upset. 180 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: I believe it's nineteen seventy eight. He gets elected governor 181 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: of Arkansas. He's in for two years, and he imposes 182 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: a tax. He's trying to raise money. He doesn't want 183 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: to raise taxes, so he implements an inspection sticker scam 184 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: and you had to pay. And it became a hassle 185 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: for people something they didn't have to do before. 186 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 6: Now they have to do it. 187 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: And there was a guy named Frank I forget his 188 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: name is Republican who runs against him on the basis 189 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: that this guy is just trying to make your money 190 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: and government is hassling you, and he beats Bill Clinton. 191 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton spends the next two years famously, there's a 192 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: guy named Moranis who wrote a book about this called 193 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: First in His Class. He's jogging around Little Rock every 194 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: morning and people are going, oh, no, there's the former governor. 195 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: He can't let it go. And for two years he's 196 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: talking to people about what he did wrong. And he 197 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: comes back in eighty two and he gets elected, and 198 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: he will get elected all the way through nineteen ninety two, 199 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: when he's elected president. Fast forward a few years, he's 200 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: having the bimbo eruptions, as his wife Hillary called them. Well. 201 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Dedie Myers gave the statement, but she said that Hillary 202 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: called a bibo eruptions because Hillary's idea is any woman 203 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: who would sleep with her husband is not as smart 204 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: as Hillary, is not accomplished as Hillary is. They are 205 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: a bimbo. So she cares about all women, except she doesn't. 206 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: She cares about herself and those around her. Those women 207 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: who just like her are trying to claw to the top. 208 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: But you're not smart and accomplished like her, even if 209 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: your husband would rather have sex with you than her. 210 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: Clinton is set to run for president in eighty eight. 211 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: Reagan is at the end of his two years. George H. W. 212 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: Bush is not nearly as popular as Reagan is. There's 213 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: a crowded field in the Democrat set. Gary Hart is there, 214 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: Michael Ducacus, Joe Biden. But Clinton's going to be a 215 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: strong candidate. There's no doubt about that. Charismatic. He's got 216 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: Southern charm. I mean, you can say he doesn't. But 217 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: the guy has a talent set in the political world, 218 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: and he's made a lot of powerful friends. But there's 219 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: a bad bembo eruption. So they are in the conference. 220 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: They are in the back of the hotel convention center 221 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: where he's going to go out and announce. There are balloons, 222 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: it is festooned with Clinton for President eighty eight. There's 223 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: staff there, there's everybody there. But they've had a bad 224 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: bembo eruption, bad one, and the decision is made, much 225 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: to his chagrin, by Hillary, we can't do this. It 226 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: will not only will you not win, he'll destroy you. 227 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: We're going to spend four years. We're gonna put this 228 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: in the rearview mirror. We're gonna put some time in 229 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: between it and you can run in ninety two. And 230 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: that's what happened. This is a guy who, as much 231 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: as we don't like him, gets back up twenty twenty 232 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: elections stolen from him. In twenty twenty, Donald Trump was 233 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: seventy four years old. Seventy four years old. There are 234 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: people in the assisted living center with my dad younger 235 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: than that. He had an election stolen from him. Then 236 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: they dragged him through the courts. Courts, They raided his 237 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: wife's penny drawer. Fat Fanny and hot Dog Nathan were 238 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: carrying on an affair and trying to put him in prison. 239 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Jack Smith was a special prosecutor that they brought in 240 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: and schemed up. You had the State of New York 241 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: imposing a four hundred million dollar cash call. Who has that? 242 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: You had the judge whose daughter is getting all this 243 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: money from these NGOs, as is very common with these 244 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: with these judges that are doing this, That's why they 245 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: forum shop, That's why they'll get those judges. They're coming 246 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: after him in every way, shaping for him. They're causing 247 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: a living hell for him. He keeps getting back up 248 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: if there is a skill set. When Michael Jordan came 249 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: into the league, those first few years, they were beating him. 250 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: The pistols were beating him up so bad, so he 251 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: decided I got to go in the weight room. I 252 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: got to learn to take hits every time I score. 253 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: I got to learn to pay through play through pain. 254 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: I got to learn to pass more. I gotta make 255 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: my teammates better. I can't win this on my own. 256 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: Those that skill set. If we could just teach our 257 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: kids that skill set, being born smart or talented. 258 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 6: Overrate radio, the Michael Barry Show, Well. 259 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 3: But we we, but we score sne is just the same. 260 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: But we couldn't stay there. 261 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: And God say, now, o my busy. 262 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: Head back back up? 263 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 2: Oh my name if we get back up again? Oks, 264 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 2: but he. 265 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 3: Can't still leave that. There's a say of righteousness excitedly, Oh. 266 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: Say week if we get back up the bay. We 267 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: falled out sometime, but we get back up again. 268 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 4: We just want to leave that, all right. 269 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: I know we have some calls from Ray and Teresa 270 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: ask him to hold. I want to get into terrace 271 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: because I'm getting a lot of questions. And April second 272 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: is the day the tariffs are scheduled to go into effect. 273 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised to see those tariffs delayed again, 274 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 1: because particularly Canada and Mexico at twenty five percent apiece 275 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: and China at ten percent are it could collapse their economy. 276 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: It could. America can survive without Mexico, Canada, and yes, 277 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: even China, they cannot survive without us. The Trump administration 278 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: has been willing to say something that no president in 279 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: my lifetime has been able to has been willing to say, 280 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: and that is America's pre eminence. Our world dominance is 281 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: our internal consumer market. If we turn our market off 282 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: to a country, we can break them. The blockade with Cuba, 283 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: we were the primary consumer of Cuban cigars. And when 284 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: the blockade occurred under Kennedy imposed on Castro, it it well. 285 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: There were two things happened. Castro's nationalization of the casinos. 286 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: The casinos were where Americans primarily went to play ninety 287 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: days in a world away the casinos of Cuba, and 288 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: the American mafia was making a fortune running those casinos 289 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: and basically running Cuba. The revolution was not against Bautista. 290 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: It was against American dominance or mafia dominance of the 291 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: of the casinos and industry in Cuba. There were a 292 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: lot of Americans tossed out of there that were very 293 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: rich off of Cuba, and I have no problem with that. 294 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: The blockade aid against Cuba forced them to develop better 295 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: relations with their long time legacy brothers in Spain. But 296 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: it's not the same market. It's a lot further transportation costs. 297 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: There were a lot of things at play. Closing off 298 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: our market to the rest of the world has the 299 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: effect of getting their attention. A tariff you learned about tariffs, 300 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: you might remember the term from when you were in school. 301 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: Is a duty or a custom duty. It is a tax. 302 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: So think of it this way. If Mexico sends a 303 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: product into the United States for one hundred dollars and 304 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent tariff is slapped on that, that 305 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: company must pay to our excise board twenty five dollars. 306 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: So if they sold that to the American importer, who's 307 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: usually a wholesaler of one form or another, whatever the 308 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: product is, they were selling it to him for one 309 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a bushel. Now it's one hundred and twenty five. Well, 310 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: it may be the case that that importer paid one 311 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a bushel, but he could get the same 312 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: bushel because it costs more to get it here from 313 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: El Salvador and Bouquetle really wants to get their products 314 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: in the United States, he's opened his prisons to the 315 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: gang bangers. We've sent down there, and El Salvador can 316 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: send it up here, but it would cost one hundred 317 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: and ten. So Mexico was able to undercut one hundred 318 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: and ten to one hundred dollars shorter transportation costs, maybe 319 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: more mechanized labor. Well, the importer now says, if I 320 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: got to pay one hundred and twenty five for that, 321 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: I can get it over here for one hundred because 322 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: American consumers are very price conscious, and in fact, American 323 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: consumers love to be conscious even when they don't need 324 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: to be, even when they could afford not to, because 325 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: it is considered distasteful to be to disregard cost. The 326 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: only people who do that are making a show of 327 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: their opulence by, for instance, making it rain with the cash, 328 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: peeling off cash, driving the ridiculous vehicles. Well, if you 329 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: look at the community who does that most, it's athletes 330 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: and rappers. And it's largely athletes and rappers who grew 331 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: up poor black kids, single mom, section eight housing, not 332 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: enough food eat. Can you blame them? I finally got 333 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: some money. I want to show it if you grew 334 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: up with money people that grew up with money typically 335 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: are the least ostentatious people you'll know. And it also 336 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: goes back to a French revolution mindset. We better not 337 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: lord disover the people because when the revolution comes, our 338 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: heads in the guillotine. 339 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 6: First. 340 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: People with real money never talk about money. They do not, 341 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: will not. Everybody pays their own way. They don't show 342 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: it around, they don't flaunt it. For all the reasons above. 343 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: But the American consumer is very price conscious. So now 344 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: your bushel of fruit that you're bringing in from Mexico, 345 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: the importer says, I'm not going to pay one hundred 346 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars. I'll buy it from that guy 347 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: for one hundred and ten. I bought it from you 348 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: at one hundred. So the Mexican company has a big 349 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: decision to make. Well, how about if we sell it 350 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: to you for seventy five and then we slap the 351 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: twenty five on that actually technically to be eighty. If 352 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: you're going to put twenty five percent on it, and 353 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: that would make it a nice round hundred because twenty 354 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: we got. So we'll sell it to you for eighty, 355 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: we'll pay the tariff. Well, that twenty dollars per bushel 356 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: has to come out of their profits. For some businesses, 357 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: at a minimum, it's going to cost them that much. 358 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: For some businesses that will mean they go under. You're 359 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: talking about disrupting a long term trade relationship upon which 360 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: last year they built a new factory. Well, that factory 361 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: was dependent on a model that projected that they would 362 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: not only not decrease production that they would export into 363 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: the United States, but certainly not decrease it. They were 364 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: hoping to increase it. So that tariff becomes a very 365 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: very powerful tool, this taxing authority. So it's the tariff 366 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: that he's using to say, you've got to do your 367 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: part on the border. Canada. You got to do your 368 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: part on the border. But for all the people very 369 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: upset and the Wall Street journals losing their mind, you 370 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: must also understand that for people who say it doesn't 371 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: seem right to put a tax on a foreign product 372 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: coming into the United States, Okay, Well does it seem 373 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: right that they're doing it to us? If you saw 374 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: the tariffs that Canada imposes on American exports that are 375 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: imports into Canada, that nobody ever talked about why we 376 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: tolerated this Why would we allow other countries to do 377 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: bad things to us and not reciprocate. All he's asking 378 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: for is reciprocal terriffs. It all starts on Wednesday at 379 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: least is supposed to talk more about this coming up. 380 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: And Ray and Teresa, U stay tuned inside? Well, where's 381 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: the inside. 382 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: Of my sole. 383 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: Friend of mine said she was recently married a year 384 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: or so ago, might be two years at this point, 385 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: but she said, I want to her husband, recently retired, 386 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: said I want to give him a day out on 387 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: Galveston Bay fishing. I need a guide who's gonna take 388 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: care of him. He's gonna really be patient, show him 389 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: a good time. I want to spoil him. He deserves this. 390 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: Do you know someone, and I said, as luck would 391 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: have it, I do. Remember our old friend Matt Parrish, 392 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: singer songwriter of Market Junction fame. That's what he's doing now, Well, 393 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: that's what he's doing with part of his time. The 394 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: other part of his time is he's filming himself doing 395 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: that and posting videos about it constantly. But good on him. 396 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: You know, there's something I have a kind of a 397 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: romantic notion of the one man show. You know, if 398 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,479 Speaker 1: I go into a little bakery and it's tiny. They 399 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: got two inner square feet in the strips here, and 400 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: there's a woman there and she's got an apron on 401 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: and her she's got burned scars on her hands and arms, 402 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: which means she didn't get, you know, a big retirement package. 403 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: You her husband made a bunch of money and she 404 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: wanted on a bakery. This woman's a baker, like a 405 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: legit real base. She's got the battle scars to prove it, 406 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: and she's she's got in the glass case in between 407 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: you and her. She's got what's left for the day. 408 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: Because the difficulty of the baking business is inventory management. 409 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: You know that the vaguar reason supplying demand demand varies daily, 410 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: and that you know that scone You say, Sconeer's gone, okay, 411 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: just checking listen, appointment me repeat. Nobody cares how you say. 412 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: Nobody thinks. Oh, I bet Ramon would know. I've always 413 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: wondered how to say that Ramone would know. I just 414 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: excurius myself. No, I'm not saying it. You said how 415 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: you want to say it, but I'm not repeating it. 416 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: You get your own show and then you can say 417 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: how you want to say it. So anyway, as I 418 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, that's gone, 419 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: which may or may not be hormone says it might 420 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: be worth two dollars. I don't know what this gon 421 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: goes for today, but it might be worth two dollars 422 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock this morning. But if the shop closes 423 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: at five o'clock at about four forty five, it's worth 424 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: nothing because it's going to be thrown out. So you 425 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: know she's there. She's hoping to sell everything on the 426 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: front end at the top profit trys to try to 427 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: make it. I love to see a one man show 428 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: the idea of because most people a bunch o'clock. Most 429 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: people get paid by someone else. You have good days, 430 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: you have bad days. Most people think they're worth more 431 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: than the company is paying them. But people tend to 432 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: discount all of the reasons. You went to work for 433 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: somebody in the first place. Could have started on your own. 434 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: Could have been a fishing guide. You could have been 435 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: a tennis instructor, could have been a tutor, could have 436 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: been any number it could have been a housekeeper. You 437 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: went to work because it was an easy way out, 438 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with that it was easier to 439 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: go to work somewhere else, and then once you're there, 440 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: you're like, I should get paid more money. Andy's making money. 441 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: I should be paid more money. Leave start your own business. 442 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: But I have this kind of romantic notion of the 443 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: person who has to get out there and get it. 444 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: And when you're selling your time. The funny thing is 445 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: about when you're selling your time is you can't scale up. 446 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: You've only got so much time. So then you decide 447 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: to do you add another person, Because if all you've 448 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: ever been is an employee, you have no idea what 449 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: a hassle having employees is, what an absolute hassle employees are. 450 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: That's why I'm glad we have Chad because he never 451 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: causes any problems. I got Jim Mudd moving new houses. 452 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: I got Darryl Kunda hadn't been here but for ten minutes, 453 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: so we're still figuring out what he can do. I 454 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: got Ramon, y'all know my trials and tribulations with regard 455 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: to him. And then there's Chad ever a problem. But 456 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: there's old Matt Parrish. He is he's doing the fishing 457 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: guid thing, and I mean he's got about how many 458 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: twelve kids. He's got more kids. He's got a set 459 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: of twins. He might have multiple twins. I don't want. 460 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: He got a bunch of kids. And he's out there 461 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: humping on the bay doing doing you know what I 462 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: asked him, I said, do you is it work when 463 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: you're out there doing that or is it fun? Because 464 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: I know you love to fish, because he's always loaded 465 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: to fish. He said, it's still fun. I'll let you 466 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: know when it's not. And I thought that's pretty good. 467 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: He's also still in the friends and family face. Eventually, 468 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna take Scott Kutac out as buddies and you' 469 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: all gonna be fishing. He's gonna let me, let me 470 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: help you my business. And Scott's going to tell you 471 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: about this guy that he knows who's looking for a 472 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: guy like I'm doing with Sandy. And then that guy's 473 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: going to go out and have a good time, and 474 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: that guy's going to tell somebody's gona tell somebody's gonna 475 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: stay somewhere down the line, you're gonna get that guy 476 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: who's an ass. And there are certain people who cannot 477 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: help themselves. If you are the service provide, whether you're 478 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: the waiter at their table, the bartender behind the bar, 479 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: the guy who cuts their grass. They like to abuse 480 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: other people make them feel good about their own life. 481 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 6: Right. 482 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: The dog that gets kicked all the time can still 483 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: chase the cat, and the question will be at the 484 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: end of that day, do you still love it? And 485 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: if you don't know how to reach Matt Parish and 486 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: you want a good Galveston Bay guide, you can always 487 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: email me. I guess I give out a cell phone number? 488 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: Should I give out? It's it's the business number two 489 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: is nine seven nine. Don't call his text because he 490 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: might be out on the water nine seven nine five 491 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: nine five thirty four eighty five, and just say yeah, 492 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: I need a fishing guide nine seven nine five nine 493 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: five thirty four eighty five. Nine seven nine five nine 494 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: five thirty four eighty five. Or you can email me 495 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: through the website Michael Berry Show dot com and I 496 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: will forward you to young Matt Parrish. Of course, you 497 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: know how that works.
