So anyway, 173 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,479 Speaker 1: she will go on and she will find these desserts 174 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: and she will find all the ingredients, and she's so 175 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: sweet about it, and she will make these these French 176 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: pastries or cakes or some Italian disc or something I 177 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: never heard of, and it's amazing and all of that. 178 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: But she says, you know, you're never happier than when 179 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: I make a Duncan Hine's sheet cake with a blonde 180 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: sheet cake, or with chocolate icing on top. And so 181 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: she made that for Easter because Michael was coming in. 182 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: That's what he likes. And she said, of all the 183 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: things I do for y'all to try to make it 184 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: so special, and y'all like the simplest stuff years ago, 185 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: it's probably been ten years ago. She said, I'm gonna 186 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: make you something from your childhood that you haven't had 187 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: since your childhood. What do you want? I said, hamburger helper. 188 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: She said, okay, I'll have to call your mom and 189 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: ask her how to make it. I said, I can 190 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: actually tell you this one. It goes like this. You 191 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: pull the ground round out, because well, my dad would 192 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: get paid. My mom will go stock up on ground round. 193 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: You can freeze ground round last, you know, last, forever 194 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: you cook. Ramone cooks entered his house more often than not, 195 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: so I can give him credit. I don't, so I'm 196 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: running but I know this. You take the ground round out. Now, 197 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: you know what I used to enjoy doing if I 198 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: was helping my mom cook, which I enjoyed doing. Take 199 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: the ground round. Now it's under that little styr it's 200 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: in that styrofoam thing with the clear They still make 201 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: it exactly the same. And then you drop that as 202 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: a as a hunk, clunk down on the teflaw and 203 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: teflon was a big deal at that time. We'd gone 204 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: back to the skillet, but then it was a teflon 205 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: and pay them, you know, you just spray to pay 206 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: them anyway. So I enjoyed turning it on high heat 207 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: and putting it on there and scraping it off as 208 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: the meat got warm, scraping it off. That was That 209 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: was my contribution. But I said, it's very simple. You 210 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: put ground round. You got some cheap pasta shells and 211 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: they got a little sauce in there, the same way 212 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: Kraft mac and Cheese does. And you got and if 213 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: you make my grandmother's corn bread, you will make me 214 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: very happy. And she could not believe how much I 215 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: loved it. She said, of all the food you have 216 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: been exposed to, I've never seen you eat like this, 217 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: And when I really like something like that, I eat 218 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: to the point I'm sick. I'm not proud of it. 219 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: It's like a dog. I'm not saying it makes me 220 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: a good person. It makes me a very weak person. 221 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: But that's what I do. And so anyway, she made 222 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: a Duncan Huns or Betty Cracker or something, you know, 223 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: one of those out of a box cakes. And I 224 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: don't care what anybody says that out of the box 225 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: cake and in that little can of icing, there's no 226 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: cake I like better than that. Carabas makes a Italian 227 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: cream cake that will change your life. But don't tell 228 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: Mama Rosie. I still think I on most days, I 229 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: just like my basic little sheet cake with the chocolate 230 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: icing on the top. And by the way, I don't 231 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: understand what people do a cake. If you got chocolate 232 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: icing on top, don't make the cake itself chocolate. That's dumb. 233 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: Why do people do that. You go to a birthday 234 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: party or something and you think, gosh, chocolate cake. Oh 235 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: you got the cake being chocolate. That's no, no, no. 236 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you the other thing that doesn't get 237 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: its due in cakes is strawberry, all right, Ty Strickland 238 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: of what's the name is his company? He's your show sponsor, 239 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: he's not. He dun't you for who? For himself? He 240 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: does his own ads. He does a pretty good ad, though, 241 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: he does a good ad. Where did I see that message? No, 242 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: he's fixed my slab. Okay, I'm Atlas Foundation with the decisions. 243 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: You know, they're all buddies. You're at List too.

AWP Windows is ramone sponsor. My 255 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: sponsor is Allied Siding and Windows, So we had to 256 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: keep that separated.

I'm fifty four, I'm 320 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: not thirty four. All out by way, I was saying 321 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: I can't eat barbecue every day, and I would walk 322 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: into the RCC where we had Republic barbecue, and they 323 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: had Uncle Jerry and all the guy Andre and all 324 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: had tried out some new recipe, and they were dying 325 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: for me to try something.

Okay, so apparently they got all 334 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: sorts of stuff. I think we're at thirty five hundred 335 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: dollars Platinum Environmentals in for three hundred. Better be he 336 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: got my tickets to the Astros the other day. That's 337 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: my buddy, Chris. He's got the Mold Inspection Company. A 338 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: great guy. You know. He's got a he's got a 339 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: contract on the border wall. Yeah. I guess they have 340 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: to inspect the border wall or whatever. Every new contract 341 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: he sends me a mess. He got h Some guy 342 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: got a big government building the other day. It was 343 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: like hundreds of thousand square feet and it's a building 344 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: that's been there since the sixties and they're renovating, they're 345 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: gutting it. So they have. So he goes in and says, 346 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: all right, you got asbestos over here, you got rat 347 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: turns over here, you got mold over here, you got this, 348 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: you got this, you got this. Yeah, it's uh, his 349 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: business has blown up. I'm not going to say it's 350 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: only because he's a show sponsor, because I'm sure at 351 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: least one percent is you know, he's probably responsible for. 352 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: But I think most of it is h our listener, 353 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: which is pretty awesome if you ask me. So, if 354 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: he's in for three hundred, I think that gets us 355 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: a four thousand. And let's see Connie Stargner with the 356 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Corey diamonds. Let's see here it was somebody else that 357 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: came in, and I want to make sure that guy, Okay, 358 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: that Dolly Parton deal is h is So this was 359 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: fabulously double fudge. That's Duncan Hines. Is that partnership. That's 360 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: what we needed wrong. We need some big brand that 361 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: we don't have to do anything right. We just kind 362 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: of become the spokesman. We get a tea interesting story. 363 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know what year it was, but Hulk 364 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: Hogan was at his peak, can I get my Hulk 365 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: Hogan theme song? See if Jim Mudd was here, he'd 366 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: already when I said by before I hit the end 367 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: on Hulk Hogan, he would have already hit Hulk Hogan's 368 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: theme song. And they Hulk Hogan's agent gets a pitch 369 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: that they wanted him to be the spokesman for this 370 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: grill okay, And this grill was an affordable grill, could 371 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: be used anywhere, and the engineering design meant that the 372 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: whatever you were cooking, the grease would run off. But 373 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: at the same time they were pitched a I think 374 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: it was a home waffle maker or a home meat 375 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: forgetting a meatball maker, some little product, and his agent said, 376 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: that's the winner right there, that's what people want. So 377 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: he passed on that grill because the grill market he 378 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: felt was saturated. So they said, oh, we didn't get 379 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: Hulk Holgan, what are we to do? So they go 380 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: to the champ George Foreman, we got this grill. People 381 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: like you. They don't tell him. Hulk Hogan was first 382 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: pitch that product, and George said, I'll do it. It 383 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: did okay. He made fifty millions the first year they 384 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: saw the trajectory of this product being able to last 385 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: a long time. And they said, we'll give you two 386 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: hundred to buy you out. He was going to get 387 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: X percentage. The percentage was so high that he got that. 388 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: They said, we're going to make more than two hundred 389 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: Are we going end up paying him more than two hudred? 390 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 1: They pay him two undred million dollars and bought him out. 391 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: He got almost two I think it was two hundred 392 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: and ten total he got, so maybe it was one sixty. 393 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: Whatever the payout was. I think it was two hundred 394 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: and ten. And there's Hulk Hogan over there with the 395 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: you probably remember with the Hulk Hogan wafflemaker. Not so much. Yeah, 396 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: he didn't make that kind of money, but he sued 397 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: Vice and he bankrupted him, so that was good. That 398 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: was good. George went on to be the spokesman for 399 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: invent Help. I mean he did all sorts of things. 400 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: He uh. I was proud to see that the city 401 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: did right. I give John Whitmer credit. Beautiful funeral for him. 402 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: It was a week or two ago. Is it Worthym Theater? 403 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: The first time I've been in Worthm Theater. I don't 404 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: know how long it's been since I've been in worthym Theater. 405 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: You know, before we had kids, we had the season 406 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: tickets to the Alley. We used to love to go 407 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: to the Alley. Except for some reason. Look, I'm not 408 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: bothered by homos. That's what pissed me off. They said 409 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: I was anti gay. I'm not anti gay, but I 410 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: don't think every scene needs to have butt sex and 411 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: and the alley. For years, they would, you know, they'd 412 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: take hanseling Gretel and then all of a sudden, Gretel 413 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: would say, Hansel, where are you going? I'll just go 414 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: over here to see a man about a horse, okay, 415 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: and go over there and have butt sex with another 416 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: dude and come back like, whoa, what are we doing here? 417 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: What in the world? Romeo and Juliette Romeo Romeo, where 418 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: art now? Hold on, I'm having butt sex? What are 419 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: we doing? And it just kind of got to where 420 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: it felt like the art was lost. Look, if you 421 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: got a scene where there's too homos, fun, but you're 422 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: just like crafting homos and everything, like Disney puts black 423 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: people in every white role. It's it's too much. It's 424 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: too much. You go too far and you make people 425 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: into people that were like that would say, you know, 426 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: artist art, I'm comfortable art will be. It'll be some 427 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: things that are a little different. Okay, you know, Robin 428 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: Williams wants to dress like misdoubt fire. That's fine, but 429 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: we're not going to worry. It's end of the world. 430 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: But then when you start making everything into that, Okay, 431 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: Dustin Hoffman, you're gonna do TOTSI y'all. Okay, Tyler Perry, Okay, 432 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: y'all have a whole big thing. I want to dress 433 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: up as women. I kind of find it weird. I'll 434 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: be honest, I kind of find it weird. But anyway, 435 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: we used to go to downtown events all the time, 436 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: and we went to speaking of we went to see 437 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: Johnny Mathis as Barry Mandel's guest. Barry and Scott and 438 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: we go see Johnny Mathis and there was a crowd 439 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: to see Johnny Mathis with the Houston Symphony, and the 440 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: crowd was all gay men and people over one hundred 441 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: years old. And we were looking around like I was, 442 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, thirty two thirty three just went on to 443 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: city council, and Barry was head of the downtown district, 444 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: so he would always whatever we wanted to go see, 445 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: we would go see, and then we ended up buying 446 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: tickets to all that stuff. Great guy. I don't know 447 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: whatever happened to Barry. He ended up running Legacy Center 448 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: in Montrose when he left the city. I don't know 449 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: whatever happened from there. He was a great guy though, 450 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: a good friend, wonderful person. Anyway, the city did right 451 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: by George Foreman with a beautiful, beautiful funeral at Wortham Center, 452 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: and he deserved that. Tell r J to hold on 453 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: just a second. Think let's set a goal for five thousand. 454 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: That's doable. I think we can get that. Dude the 455 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: like old Ferry Show. Okay, So this just hit Chad's 456 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: and nowher of things like he listens to podcasts about 457 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: things that nobody else listens to. I asked him yesterday 458 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: about Mui Tai, the fighting style in Thailand, because Chad 459 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: trains and fights and all that sort of stuff. He 460 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: starts telling me stories and he said, you know, they 461 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: have kids on the streets in Thailand and they fight 462 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: for money. The tourists will bet on them fighting in 463 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: the streets, young kids. And he sent me a video 464 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: of it and they were just out there. I mean, 465 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: I guess it's better than you know, having to pretend 466 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: you're a girl, the stupid stuff you got to do 467 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: for American tourists, But he said.

I mean, 577 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: we we find avenues that we can use that it 578 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: also gives us the luxury like you were speaking of 579 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: his daughter, the opportunity to spend time with our with 580 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: our loved ones, and we're not slaving away at the factory. 581 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 3: You know. 582 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: We we actually have these opportunities and we still work 583 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: hard at what it is that we do. But it's 584 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: something that we chose to have the freedoms that we have, 585 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: and just to have it taken by someone that's gonna 586 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: sit under duff, you know, doesn't want to put in 587 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: the hard work. You know, it's it's the same man. 588 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: It's you know, like I said that that's some of ours. 589 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: And eventually they're going to run across the wrong one. 590 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: You know, I'll be the Huckleberry, Come take my truck. 591 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: You know, Max said yesterday, and he said it over 592 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: the years. Work gives purpose and meaning to life, not 593 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: always joy, purpose and meaning. And I find our Jay, 594 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: that what people are in search of. We think we 595 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: want contentment. But if you are content repeatedly, consistently, and 596 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: only exclusively, I find that that contentment leads to boredom, 597 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: leads to awii leads to all sorts of bad habits 598 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: and unhappiness. I don't think that contentment or quote unquote happiness. 599 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, people think if I'm retired, I'll play golf 600 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: and go on cruises all the time. You need purpose 601 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: and meaning, And I think that you not to sound 602 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: like Jordan Peterson, but I think you need adversity. You 603 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: need challenge. You need to find somebody in a bad 604 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: situation and lift them, you know, be able to lift 605 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: them up a little, even if you don't have money 606 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: to give to help them in some way or another.
