WEBVTT - No One Wants to See Your Feet! 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.480 No one wants to see your feet. It's one more thing. 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:10.800 I'm strung and getty. We'll get to that in a moment. 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:12.760 As I did a little traveling over the weekend, which 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.240 turned out to be not the best idea since I 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.479 was sick and Sam was sick. I just thought we 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.280 would power through it or get over it or something, 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:21.479 and it did not work out that way, and we 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.120 ended up not doing a lot and coming back early. 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.520 So it was very kind of a surprise when the 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.640 standard a little cough, little sniffle turns in something nasty. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.280 Yeah. Ended up spending a tremendous amount of money to 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:37.479 feel horrible in an exotic locale. Anyway, Our friend you 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.639 don't know, our friend Dave Katie. It's too bad. He's 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.800 one of the best people I've ever met in my life. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.440 He was our boss in San Diego. He lives on 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.839 a boat. H Yeah. He had been carrying around a 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.560 card in his wallet for years. Live on a boat 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.640 by age sixty a goal setting and he did it. 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.040 He pulled it off by like a week. 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:58.040 That's awesome. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.880 Goal setting is important, you really, I was talking with 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.960 him about that over the weekend. You can't just like 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.840 think about things occasionally that you actually want to do. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.560 You got to commit to him like that, like I'm 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.840 going to do this by this date, and then you know, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:17.360 lay the work to actually make that happen. Anyway, Henry 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.720 and I slept on his boat two nights in the 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.520 marina in San Diego, and he was at his girlfriend's house, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.920 so Henry and I had to boat to ourselves. And 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.039 then we went out in the dinghy in San Diego Bay, 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.000 which is absolutely awesome. For whatever reason, there was just 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.600 no boat traffic. I guess because people love God and 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.600 Jesus and care about that more than boating or something. 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.800 But on Easter Sunday there was nobody out there but us, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.319 and we were cruising around the bay in this little boat. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.400 I didn't know you could do this until Dave told me. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.160 We went under the Midway. The Midway is an aircraft carrier, 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.200 an old aircraft carrier from World War Two that they 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.280 have docked in some museum now, but you can go 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.000 under it, like around it really close, and the underneath 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.600 the anchors which are the size of you know, several 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.560 cars and stuff like that. Very very cool. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:05.440 Yeah wow. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.600 And then we saw one of those giant Disney cruise 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.840 ships take off right next to us, which was stunning 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.920 to watch up close. Also just oh, it's mind blowing 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.480 that anything could be that big and float. Were you 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.040 in the water in the dinghy at that point or Oh, 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.520 that had to be like awesome slash almost scary. It 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.000 was almost scary. I mean it was very obvious then 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.080 crazy how fast those things go. It doesn't look like 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.400 they're going that fast until you're like in front of 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.359 it and trying to get out of the way of it. Yeah, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.240 they're going way faster than it looks. I've never been 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.480 on a cruise. Have you been on a cruise? 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:37.760 Giddy? 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.880 I have not. I've never had a desire to be 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:41.360 on a cruise. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.000 River cruise. The river cruise was fantastic. That's that's a 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.919 very different experience. Yeah, exactly. 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.119 Oh, it's been afraid of cruises that like norovirus, being 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.200 stuck on a ship like that. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.959 Oh, many thousands of people, Like I was telling Henry 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.639 that there are more people on that boat than live 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.280 in my hometown, which I looked up and is actually true. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.880 You know, many many thousands of people on a floating 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.560 hotel and everything like that, and I just I don't know. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.880 I got really deterred at the beginning of COVID when 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.800 all of those people got trapped on that boat and 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.720 it was docked like right at the base of the 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.760 Bay Bridge in the Bay Area, and every day when 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.800 I was driving home, because we're essential workers, right, I 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.160 would see that and go, oh, my gosh, these people 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.239 are just trapped and they have no idea when they're 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.880 getting off, and yep, I'm good. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.600 Anyway, I've never been on a cruise and I've never 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.840 been that close to a giant cruise ship, and I 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.520 didn't realize it was moving. We were out in the 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.520 water and Henry said, I think it's leaving, and I said, 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.080 are you sure? And I started paying attention. It was like, yes, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.000 it was coming our way. And we cruised around that 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.440 for a while. He went out in the water, and 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.440 then these giant tug boats turned it around and then 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.480 it headed out to see. Very very fun and Henry 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.720 got to drive the boat around, which is highly cool 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.480 but very fun. But so I was talking to her 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.440 headed back to the hotel and I ended up talking 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.400 to the sort of person in tourist towns who has 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.120 a tent set up in a high traffic area and 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.600 sells little things. You know, We've all seen these sorts 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.560 of people. I'd never had a conversation like I had 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.400 with this guy, though, and he sold these little things 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.240 that my kids were super interested in. So I ended 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:13.760 up being there for a while and talking to him 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.320 when he sold a variety of little things, like all 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:22.719 those kind of tents do. He actually sold miniature collectible 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.479 tennis shoes. My son's super into sneaker world and like 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.120 knows all the hot sneakers and what are the most 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.360 popular throughout the years and what's coming out next year 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.120 and blah blah blah blah blah. And he and this 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.960 guy bonded on that. But he sells miniature ones and 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:43.040 like they're really detailed with actual laces and look exactly 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.000 like and have the hangtags on him and my son 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.479 thought they were so cool, and so they talked about 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.599 it for a long time. Anyway, and they're made in China, 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.440 and the tariffs are gonna end his business and make 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.520 it almost impossible to sell these things. And we talked 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.560 about all that. But the guy made when he was 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.240 set up by the Midway with his hint. He said 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.880 last year he made a half a million. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.880 Dollars wha selling these little mini shoes total sales. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.680 How much he got to keep I don't know, but 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.440 I know his mark up on these things was like 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.120 three times. And I'll bet he pays practically no taxes, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.279 so he's certainly making I would assume he's making a 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.799 couple hundred thousand dollars a year doing that. Wow. Wow, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.719 I just said, I said, I admire people like you 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.320 because he was very knowledgeable about his product. I mean, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.520 he is a guy who clearly put in a tremendous 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.159 amount of effort, not to mention the hours to figure 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.240 out how to make a living, compared to some people 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.720 who have no interest in putting any effort into making 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.520 a living and just live off of you. Well, that's 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.680 something I know. You know, It's funny how people. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.320 Get crazy into something Like a friend of mine or 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:54.240 I'm sorry, my neighbor's son is like encyclopedic about bourbon. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.400 He knows everything about all the big names in the 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.440 history and how this bought by this and that, and 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.000 the original distiller was actually the guy who blah blah blah. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.919 But now they're under the label of and I'm like dude, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.080 it's corn liquor. I mean, it's it's it's fine. I 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.080 drink it and I forget my problems for a little bit. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.440 And some of it's better than others. But why would you? 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:18.880 But it doesn't matter. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.320 It makes them happy. And mastery of a topic is 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:29.520 like I read a great, a great refutation of the 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.960 notion of that man'splaining ones in which they pointed out 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.360 that mastery of a topic or a skill is how 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:42.000 men gain status among other men and frequently how they 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.000 land a mate. And it's funny that a woman would 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.000 be like disdainful of it, but like, I have a 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.880 reasonable mastery of preparing and delivering a talk radio show, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.840 and trust me, my wife's pretty happy about it at 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.200 this point. But that's that's how males gain status. And 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.280 in the female world world, it's more coalition building and 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:08.120 being a willing and helpful participant in that relationship that 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.640 articularly group relationship that is interesting. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.840 And then because we live in a you know, safe, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.440 prosperous society here in America, you become you can become 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.720 an expert on something that's just not important. But we 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.240 have the evolutionary desire to, like, you know, you know, 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.200 you're you're sort of making fun of the guy's knowledge 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.960 of whiskeys and whatnot. You know more about rock and 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.840 roll trivia than the average person, useless, and not everybody 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.600 would be into that. No, No, indeed, yeah I wouldn't. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.440 I wouldn't say I'm making fun of it as much 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.760 as I'm intrigued. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.480 By it and don't get it right. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.119 But you know, back in the day, and you trip 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.560 something else in my head about back before we were 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.480 so safe and affluent and secure, you had damned well 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.720 be a really good swordsman or a really good rider, 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.200 or a really good farmer, or a really good gesture 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:10.240 for the blacksmith whatever. It had to be relevant. But yeah, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:11.720 you had to be really good at it and be 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.760 an expert at it, or you'd probably starve. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.840 This guy's knowledge of sneakers for these little miniature sneakers 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.080 that he gets made. He started hand painting him and 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.400 making himself, and then he found a manufacturer in Tijuana, 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.760 and then he moved that to China as it grew. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.720 That's just amazing people like that who carve out a 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:33.280 way to make a living like that. Yeah, anyway, the 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.800 shoe part or the senior feet part just about my 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.120 flight on Southwest. So I flew southwest, and as anybody 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.400 who flies Southwest, a lot of times they have people 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.280 who try to be funny. Who are the air waitresses, 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.120 And this one had a particularly good good one. I 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.640 mean she was really good. She had a full on 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.839 stand up routine, songs, got applause three different times. I mean, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.199 it was really pretty impressive. I'll be here till the 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.840 end of the flight. Thank you. She was really good. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.240 But one thing she mentioned that I had never heard 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:13.560 before on a flight was, uh, do not take off 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.360 your shoes. Let me say it again in case you 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.199 weren't paying attention. Do not take off your shoes. Nobody 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.600 wants to see your feet, nobody wants that. Please, do 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.120 not take off your shoes. God, I'd never heard anybody 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.520 say that before. And there were a couple of collaps. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.000 There are probably some groans that I didn't hear. I've 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.880 never had the slightest desire to take off my shoes 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.880 on a flight. By more comfortable shoes are your shoes 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:40.760 that uncomfortable? 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.200 There is something about certain people and getting on an 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.680 airplane where that is like the first thing they do. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:47.640 Wow. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.960 Yeah, it's like they're in a decliner at home. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.320 I'm really comfortable though. I got comfortable shoes on, and 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:54.400 I'm very comfortable. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.400 It would be often uncomfortable and there's nothing I can 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.000 do about it because of getting my foot smashed up. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.559 But yeah, I. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:08.079 Don't just just just bare feet, especially, I don't know. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.480 I don't want your socked feet either. Your Oh my 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.600 my feet are exemplary. Oh my gosh, my socks as 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.560 fresh as a daisy. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:17.240 My shoes. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.840 I take my shoes off, and I asked the passenger 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.000 next to me to rub my feet. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.760 Oh yeah, why not? 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.240 Got it? So? I was coughing yesterday on this flight, 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:35.880 I mean, just you. I felt so far sorry for 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.679 the people who sit next me. Both flights, for some 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.360 reason half full, and when they announced that half full 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.679 flight today, folks, so spread out, you know, enjoy yourself, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.720 find a row whatever. Very few people are both flights 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.520 there and back, I end up with a full row. 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.679 I sit, I sit by the window and two people 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.839 sit next to me, and I didn't say anything to them. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.800 It's like, what are you doing? This flight's half full? 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.839 Go back a few rows and sit by yourself. Why 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.800 are you sitting next to me. Why are we in 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.600 a four row? That is weird. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.240 You should have been coughing the entire boarding procedure. 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.480 Ah, that would have been a good But this nice 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.320 lesbian couple, a married couple that sat down next to me. 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.760 But I was coughing and sneezing the entire flight, just endlessly, 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.920 and I felt so bad for me. I turned toward 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.000 the window and try to blow my nose that direction 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.680 and cough that direction so it wouldn't be quite as obvious. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.880 But it was an hour and a half of I'd 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.320 have gotten the hell away from you, especially with open seats, yes, 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.760 many open seats. They could have gone anywhere else, and 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:36.840 they just sat there next to me. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.359 M wow. 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.520 Yeah, I was like the last person you ever want 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.200 to sitting next to. I don't think I've ever heard 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.400 anybody sneeze or cough as much as I did on 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.599 that flight. You would think I'm gonna die. This is 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.240 going to kill me. This is the last thing I 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.320 ever do sitting next to this nimrod. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.360 God, drop your pants and take off your shoes before 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.600 you coughing sneeze next to me. 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.640 I didn't want to, and I try to stifle it. 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.840 Which makes it makes it worse than you start thinking 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.240 in your head. I got a cough, I have to 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:07.760 cough so bad. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:08.000 You go. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.439 Just oh, it was horrible and Sam was running one 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.120 roll away. My kids don't sit next to me on 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.840 the flight. Is that weird? I feel like that's weird. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.079 We do not sit together and they don't want to 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.920 sit near me. Three of us get on the plane 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.600 and we all sit in through different rows. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:26.720 That's interesting. 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.480 I know, a little odd, but it's a part of 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.360 it's because we all like window seats. And I mean 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.079 I don't demand I sit in a window seat, but 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:40.160 everybody wants a window seats. 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:38.600 Yeah. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.280 I was picture of Jack like arm wrestling the kids. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.679 Now I get the window seat. Yeah, I'm the dam 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.800 get out of my way. Yeah, so sorry to the 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.440 nice lesbian couple. I sneezed on. I'm not contagious according 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:58.439 to the doctor, so you're fine. What I had to. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.880 Grab the newspaper, gone into the Truman said I'm here 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.960 for the whole flight people, and just hid. Well, I 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:05.600 guess that's it.
