WEBVTT - We're all gunna die. So why worry? 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:05.280 What's up, guys. Welcome to the Grangersmith Podcast, Episode twenty eight. 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:11.000 Thanks for listening, Thanks for watching on YouTube special episode. 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:12.959 As you could see, I have a different background behind 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.920 me today if you're watching, I'm not on my bus 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.120 Wildflower that is right over here part next door. I'm 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.680 at what we're calling the EEE Shop where we are 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.400 restoring my old seventy four GMC. Then when I used 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.880 to drive back in high school, and we started a 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.280 YouTube series on this truck. Ris recently because of this 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.680 whole shutdown thing, we need some stuff to do, and 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.239 we had a couple bus drivers, Butcher and Bull, that 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:44.920 are incredible mechanics, incredible guys, and they helped me decide 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.600 to start restoring this truck right and it's actually sitting 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.600 right behind the camera. And the YouTube series it really 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.920 just it got really good engagement. It took off, and 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.320 it became a new passion of mine. For one, came 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:05.040 something that I've absolutely loved to do, not only from 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:09.640 the mechanical standpoint of it, and not only from the 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.880 standpoint of taking something that was once dilapidated in mom's 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.320 barn and turning it into good again, you know, making 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.960 it new again, there's something special about that. But all 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.920 that being said, there's also the fact of just the 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.119 sentimental value. This is Dad's truck. This was my truck 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.480 when I was a kid, and it's been so fun 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.440 watching it come back together. So I decided to set 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.600 up the podcast today in the shop before we get 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.440 to work on it and bring in Butch and Bolly. 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.360 We're going to be my special guest today. And as always, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.360 this episode is brought to you by Ye Yee Apparel, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.880 our apparel company that me and my brother started back 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.080 in twenty eleven and we just celebrated this past Friday, 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.120 Yee Day, which we put out a new line of 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.880 Yee apparel between me and my wife Amber for the 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.040 women's line, and then we send a portion of our 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.240 profits to Meals on Wheels to support families in need 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.640 of meals during this crazy time in the world. How 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.880 are you guys doing? By the way, the comment below 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.040 let me know.

Even though you know I've 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.240 been driving a while lately. I've been driving between my 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.200 house and the Yegee Farm and going to see Mom. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.480 So I'm not necessarily going out in public or going 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.680 to stores and whatnot, but I've just been I've been 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.280 driving a lot. Gas is cheap, it's good to be driving, 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.520 it's good to get out in the sunshine.

All right, I got 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:24.440 the boys, Bullshipley. Your Twitter is at bull Shipley and 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:31.200 yours is at Butch Steeler. Now, but you gotta change 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.039 your profile pick to something that's your face on it 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.960 so people will actually know it's you. Well, he got 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.040 a hold that mic. There you go. They pretty much, uh, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.120 you know by reading my stuff that it's me. Okay, 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:53.479 I'll change. So the reason I got I gotta tell it, y'all. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.400 The reason I got these guys is because we started 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.280 this little series restoring the Earl Truck, and I brought 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:05.039 you guys in because your mechanical geniuses. I would now everyone, 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.120 these guys are the first to say they are not mechanics. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:15.080 They are truck drivers, bus drivers that and when you're 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.080 a bus driver on tour, the good ones at least 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.800 have to learn how to be a mechanic because if 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.800 it's three o'clock in the morning, then you're stuck in 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.719 the middle of Iowa on the highway and you break down. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.440 You don't want to. You gotta be able to have 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.360 some kind of idea of how to fix a lot 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.279 of problems. So you're not waiting on a trucker for 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:39.200 I mean, a tow truck for three hours is gonna 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.279 it's gonna put you late to the show, right, And 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.800 we don't have the luxury of calling the company and saying, oh, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.240 just bring me a new bus, So I can't We 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.200 can't just sit there and turn the steering wheel. We 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.720 have to get the bus moving so that these guys 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.640 that you'll ever been on podcasts before, no, all right, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.919 step one. Those these mics are super directional, so you 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.159 gotta you gottat you point your mouth right in the 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.120 right in there, so right here, yeah, right there. Okay. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.440 So uh but but what happened was I got them 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.440 on this restore Earl truck show and then people started 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.320 loving you guys because of your stances on the world. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:21.760 And so that's why I wanted you to bring you 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.240 on today. Because on the truck video, we get all 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:30.400 these comments. That's asking you, guys, questions about the world 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.919 and your stance on life. And honestly, we're not going 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.760 to sit here and just talk constantly about the world 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.960 while we're restoring the truck. We got business to do. 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.320 So I thought, let's go ahead and set the set 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.320 the old microphones up in here right behind the truck. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.360 We're staring at it, and we could answer these questions now. So, boy, 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:49.960 do you have some of those or at least off 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:57.120 the top of your head. Uh? Yeah. So on on 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:05.080 YouTube there are people asking butch uh a lot of things. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.440 So I'll start with one. What's your stantime? Gun control? 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:14.600 What do you think about gun control? Well, I think 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.800 you ought to control your guns, and I think everybody 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.480 ought to own one. If you don't want one, don't 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:24.240 buy one. Simple as that. Never seeing one jump up, 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.360 run killingybody without somebody holding on to it. All right, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.000 The number two first lesson was speak back to the mic. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.600 Second lesson is our friends or YouTube are going to 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.160 hit us if they catch a couple of keywords. So 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.480 let's not say the name of the virus for one, 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.680 and then we'll call them. What what are we going 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:53.800 to call those we'll call them water guns. Other than that, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:59.160 you know, Okay, I forgot about the YouTube stuff. Yeah, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.240 that's not that big deal. All right, Okay, well but 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.040 much what do you think about to stay of the world, 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:10.600 let's say that, Well, there's a lot to say about that. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:18.520 I think that people have gone off the rails, worrying 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:24.040 about things they shouldn't be worrying about. People are so 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.040 scared of their shadow. They let anybody tell them what 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.120 to do or what they should think, and they do 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:38.760 cheap you know people, I'm probably one of them in 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.240 some level. We all are. I mean, the Bible talks 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:46.600 about he calls us sheep. Jesus calls us sheep, something like, 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.520 don't quote me on this. It's like a hundred times. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.880 It's over and over again, over and over. He he 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:57.280 doesn't say we're lions or tigers or or even donkeys 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.920 or cows. He says we're sheep. There's quite a few 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:06.800 donkeys in there. But yeah, we start we start with 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.320 being sheep. Right, Yeah, so we said all those people 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.240 that go, But but there's people dying up there. This 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:19.040 is serious, that's true, and we're all going to die 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.560 at some point. We're all going to die. I mean, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.960 you're not guaranteed anything. You're not guaranteed tomorrow. I'm not 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.800 guaranteed I get up out of this chair. I could 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:34.760 kill over yep. So why should I spend what time 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.800 that I have here worried about every little bitty thing? 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.559 And that's that's a prison, is it not? I mean 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.200 it is. They're telling you what you can and can't do. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.000 We live in a country where we're supposed to be free, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.599 and they've done gone off the rails, telling people that 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.440 can't assemble, they can't Hell, you can't even protest. Now 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.960 they're arresting people for protests. What I can't even say 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.920 certain words on YouTube. Yeah, it's not, it's not essential. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.559 They say, yeah, well, how much sense does that make 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:18.600 in the United States of America? Zero? Yep, zero, absolutely, Yeah. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.760 Well what other questions did have people asked for Butch 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:28.960 in particular here? Well, uh, they want a Arkansas childhood story, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.959 and I think you should. That's like less than number 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.960 three podcasts I put mine. I do not disturb, Butch 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:43.800 is new a childhood story from Arkansas? Yeah, and you 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.240 told me a story once about your cousin and the 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.120 house you lived in in Arkansas. I need you to 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:55.200 tell that story. Uh, well, it's really not. It's just 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.920 the way we live. I lived in this little trailer 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.120 park just outside of Bluff when we was were my 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.360 mom and dad divorced, and my mom lived in this 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:09.120 trailer park. My dad lived out so Springs and I 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.880 would go stay. Well, when I was young, i'd stay 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:17.880 all summer. My mom's almost and uh, you know, we'd 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.040 I'd wake up in the morning on Saturday morning and 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.760 the little trailer I lived in I had. We slept 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.680 on this little bed and one of my cousins lived 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.679 up the road, and you know, he'd stick his head 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.560 up through the hole in the floor and say, come on, 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.080 let's go, and no telling them there's a hole in 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.840 the floor of the trailer. Yeah, got you, Yeah, yeah, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.719 my bedroom like it's supposed to be there. No, it 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.880 was just righting out. Got you know, got you, just 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.360 a big hole. And instead of coming through the front door, 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.280 he'd slip up under there and come up through the hole. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:53.840 Get up, let's go do stuff. You know what about 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:59.160 when it got cold, when we had minkets, okay, just 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.920 cover up. See now that and that speaks directly to 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:07.440 what you were just saying about people were too scared, 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:12.440 worried too much. You got blankets, And what did you 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:17.360 do all day? Instead of staring at a tablet, instead 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.319 of playing video games watching TV? What'd you do all day? 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:26.480 Oh man, We'll just go get our bicycles and take off. 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.760 We'd just be gone. If Mama wanted to holler for us, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:37.600 we'd go down the creek, go crawded, fishing, go get 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:45.880 in fights. Whatever. I mean, it's just those things. Do lord, 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.480 I can't remember all this stuff. It's just you'd just 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.320 be a kid. You didn't stay in the house when 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.440 it started getting dark. You could hear hear mama. It 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.800 was just a sad thing. If you could see the 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.560 street lights come on, it's time to be home. Yep. 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:07.960 And people are worried to death about something that ninety 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.079 nine point whatever percent of them ain't going to get. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.560 Come on, man, do something, and other people that do 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.000 get it, ninety nine percent of them aren't going to 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:24.120 die right now, we have to say we all have 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.720 to say that at some point, you know, there there 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.320 have been a lot of people that have died from this. 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.000 At some level. That's a tragedy and our heart goes 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.960 out for those people. Everyone that has to admit that 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.640 one life lost is a tragedy. But that doesn't mean 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.040 everyone should live in fear. That's what you're saying. Absolutely, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:49.720 it's terrible when people die of anything. Ye you know, yeah, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.800 people die of that's part of life. You die. Now, 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.800 you don't want to rush it, but good grief. Live. 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.360 The thing about all this being hemmed up and can't 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:09.040 work and all that, it's not right now. That's the issue. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:15.120 It's later, what's this going to create? How much poverty 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.320 is this going to create? Because people don't know what 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.760 it's like to be poor anymore. Some people do, of course, everybody. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.280 There's always gonna be poor people in this country. The 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:31.720 majority of people don't. That's exactly right. Most well, maybe 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.600 they do. It's just and we're not talking about poor 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.360 as in you gotta eat McDonald's. We're talking about poor 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.360 where you can't afford McDonald's. That's what we're trying to say. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.320 I mean, we're trying to stay back in the depression 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.480 when people stood in soup kitchen lines with their cup 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.840 just to get a little cup of soup to go 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.800 home in a little slice of moldy bread to divide 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.120 it up for their family. That's what we're talking about. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.400 We're not saying I'm so poor I have to eat 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:03.640 ramen noodles. That would have been great in nineteen thirty five. Absolutely, yeah, 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.440 just things like sugar you'd wait a month for. Yeah, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.800 you know, yeah, wow I could. I don't know, Wow, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:19.160 it wouldn't be so fat. Well, the people that are 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.520 just listening to this podcast wouldn't have known unless you 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.320 had said that. Well, but you know, speaking of living, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.000 and people were always asking are also asking the question. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.200 When you guys first really made an appearance on YouTube 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:37.840 with me was on the Smiths episode where we got 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.760 the buses in a really bad situation in California going 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:46.280 to the Redwood Forest. What's that place called that park? 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:54.440 Redwood State Park or something like that, Big basin, big basin. Yes, 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.600 And that was you know, when we looked at the 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.960 map and we looked, we read every thing, and you talked, well, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.360 you called the superintendent of this place and they said, yeah, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.960 come on in, no problem. We've had many busses come before. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.400 So I wake up. You know, the sun's coming up, 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:16.480 it's still dark outside, and we are in a huge predicament, 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.160 and I put that whole story on the Smith's we'll 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.760 link that in the description here. But that's when people 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.000 really got to know you too, because you each were 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:30.200 in a bus, following each other through a terrible situation. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.920 To be in a bus three hours, it took us 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.240 to go eight miles or eleven miles something like that. Yeah, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.880 that was that was fun. Right on the cliffs and 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.760 trees touching the side of the bus. That was fun. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.760 And Butch had it tougher because he was pulling a trailer. 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.560 But he also learned from my mistakes by following me. 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.160 He could say, okay, well I can't go that direction, 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.560 I can't make that turn that sharp. So that was fun. 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.280 It was, It was fun content. The car was making it. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.560 I was making YouTube videos. Coffee maker fells, Chris broke 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.879 his coffee mugs. The refrigerators kept opening up because we 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.800 were on such weird angles. And no major damage to 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.560 either bus, No, no, none at all. Uh. Yeah. Then 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:19.400 we ate hot dogs and grilled out. Yeah, drank some beer, 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:23.040 had some fun. That was a good day. You remember 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.280 when we were driving back the next day, which wasn't 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.840 didn't seem as bad going back because you guys were 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.960 more prepared for it, I guess. But remember we saw 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.960 that old truck down the down the cliff. Yep. Yeah, 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.920 what in the world some old boy had it. Yeah, 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.040 somebody just said, well that truck's gone. Yeah, and maybe 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:42.840 someone was in it when it went down. I mean 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.280 they think climbed back up and said hope they climbed 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:50.400 back up. I didn't want to go look, I didn't 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.520 want to say it. Wait here I got uh got 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.080 another question from YouTube? Yeah, I think so. And while 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.399 you're looking that up, if you guys comment below if 0:17:58.440 --> 0:17:59.760 you want to if you want another one of these 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.080 serieses and if you have more questions for Bull or Butch. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.800 Bull is from ann Arbor, Michigan, and uh, Butcher's from 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:13.920 small town Arkansas. Pine saw both far from each other. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.640 But these these boys have a lot in common, which 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.919 is what I've learned being a Texan. I've learned I 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.359 didn't really know until I started touring that there's common 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.480 people everywhere. They just talk a little different. You know, 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:30.119 even Australia and Canada and wherever. You know, there's a 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.880 lot of country boys just talk a little different. Butch 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.360 talks really different. These thinks the same thing about you, Michigan. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.800 So Rebecca Hall, she's got a whole list of questions 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:52.720 out here for uh, tell us about a time you 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:59.960 were scared, look legitimately scared. Wow, no time to prepare 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.119 or anything, just go for it. Any time I made 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:09.080 worse than the sea on a on a what do 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:14.200 you call those report card? Scared to death from your 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:20.560 mom or dad? Yeah? Well both, yeah, they My pops 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:24.680 didn't pull no punches. Is your pop still around? Yeah? Yeah? 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.080 Was he thinking this whole virus thing. He's the same 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.240 way I am. Of course, he takes more precautions because 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:36.080 he's one hundred and fifty years old. No, I think 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.880 he's seventy one, seventy two. And speaking of tell us 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:43.480 about your sister's father in law, who is a two 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:48.680 time lung cancer survivor eighty five years old. Yeah, and 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.280 they found out today. I just saw today. It's been 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.920 fourteen days. Okay, So they cleared him. So he got 0:19:55.920 --> 0:20:00.600 the virus fourteen days ago isolation. He he'd been in 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.960 isolation for a long time and he hadn't been in 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.800 contact with other people, So how did he get it? 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:12.639 They and they checked him with the swab, you know 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:17.040 how they do. The test found out that he was 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.320 COVID positive. They kept him for a day or maybe 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:27.360 two in the hospital, made sure he wasn't gonna go bad. 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.719 They sent him home with some stuff and he just 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.760 had low grade fever, you know. And then today I 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:42.280 saw where they had It's been fourteen days, so the 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.600 incubation period's over. So that there's two extremely interesting things 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:51.600 about this. One. He was eighty years old at least 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:56.239 and a two time lung cancer survivor. That sounds like 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.399 the two scariest things for this virus right now to 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:04.880 be in that diament, and he did fine. Number two, 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.000 he was in isolation because the family knew that he 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:12.760 was in danger, so they put him in isolation before 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.560 in no contact with anybody, to make sure that he 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:22.200 was sheltered at home and and and locked down. And 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.199 he still got it. Yeah, So I think he's been 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.520 around longer than we've We know there's something we don't 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.280 know about here but that But that's what's so interesting, guys, 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.320 for the listeners here, that there's there's way more to 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.600 it than just sheltered home and we're all flattening the 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.880 curve and we're fine, right, didn't in December you got 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.080 really sick and you or January and you you had 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.439 trouble breathing and everything, you had all the symptoms. You 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.800 probably you probably fought it off and had it. A 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.800 couple of guys in the band said around January December, 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.560 they got really sick, you know, lasted a couple of 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:04.120 days like a flu, and get hardly. Ever, I don't 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.440 get sick. It's just it's a fluke that I get sick. 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.920 I don't just don't and to get that bad sick 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:16.879 and that quick. But it was right about that time January. 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.600 And now I'm saying where they think it was here 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:24.200 longer than we know. Well, I heard something interesting yesterday 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:28.880 that the reason we're sheltering in place, the reason all 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.840 the governments have said stay at home, is not to 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.760 save lives. And that's the big misconception right now. Most 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:40.200 people think shelter at home and you're saving lives. That's 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:45.080 not the reason. The reason is they want to push 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.600 it back farther so that they could hurry up and 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.719 come up with some kind of vaccine, which could take 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.679 up to eighteen months. So staying at home is not 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:57.399 don't let people tell you you're saving lives by staying home. No, 0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.400 you're just buying time, pushing your kicking the can down 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.320 the road a little bit farther. But that's not it's 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.240 not going to cure the disease, not gonna make it 0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:10.080 go away, it's not gonna it's not gonna help the economy. 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.480 So that's what it leads back to. It's like, do 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.159 we want to kick the can down the road so 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:19.480 far that we were putting everybody in soup lines? Yeah, 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:23.119 we can't recover you know if it just if it 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:28.159 goes eighteen months, everybody's going to be homeless. In what 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:30.840 your goot is to kick the can down the road 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:36.119 to protect people like the gentleman we're talking about, and 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.840 he still gets it right, Oh my gosh. Then we 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.959 have some serious problems we need to address right now. 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.040 And the reason I tell you can talk about this 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:49.119 stuff is because I think everyone that's a little bit 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:54.960 confused or getting mixed information you need to realize. And 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:58.840 I'm I'm no scientist, I'm no politician, but it's it's 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.560 important to just ask the questions. If you're using common sense, 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.320 it's important to just go excuse me, I have a 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.959 question about that. Some of these things don't add up, 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:11.800 and enough of us need to ask some of these 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:15.879 hard questions. It's really important for us all collectively to 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:18.600 go I'm not just gonna hear something, go with it. 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:21.560 I'm gonna wonder about a couple of things. I'm gonna 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:24.240 use just some basic street knowledge on some of this 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.720 and go hang on that that doesn't exactly make sense 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:32.359 to me. Yeah, yeah, I mean we discussed this daily 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.600 while we're working on this truck, like, how can they 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:38.080 tell us to stay home? How can they tell us 0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.679 to wear a mask? How can they you know, doesn't 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:43.480 the First Amendment protect us from that? But then the 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:46.920 staff Ord Act just kind of deletes that. It's such 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.960 a strange time we're living in, but we're still living. 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:54.080 So we're just going to continue to do what we 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.680 need to do, and we're not living in fear. We're 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.320 just living. Yeah, we're not feeling sorry for ourselves. We're 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:03.159 all eating their meals every day, and it's it's been 0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.520 The weather's been absolutely beautiful. It's my probably my favorite months, 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:08.840 you know, in Texas. It's just incredible. And we've been 0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:12.000 restoring this old truck and Granger gets us Jimmy Johns 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:17.119 and Jersey Mikes. So we're not complaining, you know, but 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:19.119 but we're just trying to raise a couple of questions 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.880 here and as we're talking and restoring this truck, and 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.199 then we've said a couple of things in passing and 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:26.880 you guys have caught on to it. So I wanted 0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:29.760 to do like a good official sit down before we 0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.399 do get started. And and so so let us know, 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.200 you know, comment below, hit them up on their their 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.800 twitters and and tell us if you want to hear more, 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:41.959 or if this is beneficial, or if we need to 0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.840
