1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: The Michael Verie Show is on the air on Friday. 3 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: Marcus the Trail turned fifty, which was the culmination of 4 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: a forty day fast, no food, only water and when 5 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: he was feeling indulgent every morning, some coffee and a 6 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: touch of salt in the evening. I told that last night, said, 7 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 2: if there is anything anyone wants to ask about that, 8 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: because you want to try a two or three day fast, 9 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: let me know and I'll pass it off. And amazed 10 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: how many people will say, you die. Well, he hasn't died. 11 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: He hasn't died. Best I can tell. He's still alive. 12 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: But when you do something like this, Marcus, and you 13 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: are a person who likes to have a goal, you 14 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: have a lot of intestinal fortitude. You're somebody who sets 15 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: a goal and can push through pain and things like that. 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: Have you set another goal for yourself? Is there something 17 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: on the horizon. 18 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a deacon in the Catholic Church, 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: so that's my overall big picture goal. And then I'm 20 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: trying to be I want to be a great father 21 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: to my kids. In an example, one of the things 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: that I learned in here is behavior is always a 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: better example than a lecture, and to lead by that, 24 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: don't say one thing and do another. And it's kind 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: of brought me closer to the realization of how I 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: need to do that. I understand people are worried about 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: how it makes you feet the scary thing to give 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: up food, but you can't. I mean, I feel amazing 29 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: my focus and I've never had this kind of energy before. 30 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: My bones don't creaker ache anymore. It's an amazing thing 31 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: that transpired what I was going through. 32 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: When I was a kid, we had a mini bike. 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: We hadn't bought it new. I don't know. We probably 34 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: got into garage sell or something. There's just a couple 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 2: of pipes with a little tape and duct tape over 36 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 2: that in a little I believe it was an Indian 37 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: brand motor, just a tiny little and you would you 38 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: would crank it, and I wasn't strong enough to crank it, 39 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: but my older brothers would, And I mean it was 40 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: a very rudimentary little mini bike we called it. And 41 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: every few years my dad would would spend the time 42 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: to get it running again. And it was amazing to 43 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: me how important it was to get the junk out 44 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: of the engine, because that was what caused it. And 45 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: I've come to view food as as this as fuel 46 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: in the purest sense. And you look at what Robert F. 47 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior is talking about constantly and what's happened to 48 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: our food supply and what we're putting into our body, 49 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: and in many cases people don't know any better. They couldn't. 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: You can't imagine how corrupted our food supply has become. 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: And it's not until you get all of that stuff 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: out of your system that you begin feeling pure and 53 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: clean and happy and healthy and as you said, focused, 54 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: it's amazing what a difference it is, and that that's 55 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: kind of scary because our food supply should be good 56 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: for us. 57 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: That's why going overseas is so great. The food they have, 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: like Grease and Italy, the food is so good, as 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: much of it as you want to still these weights. 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: Do you have any idea what happens if you put 61 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: sugar in the gas tank of your cars and people 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: people shove sugar in their mouth and their think, I mean, 63 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: your body is your car, it's your you know, your avatar. 64 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: You have to live in your spirits tucked in there. 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: Everyone knows that it's completely separate from your body. And 66 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: when you when you feed your body, what kind of 67 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: body do you have? You have a race car, put 68 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: great fluid in their fuel in there and it will 69 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: run like that. And when you do these fast which 70 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: it talks about in the Bible, it talks throughout generations 71 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: before us, and we just kind of got to this 72 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: point in our life. We're in our Arab decadence where 73 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: we all love to eat, and who doesn't, but you're 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: actually designing to go without food. And then when you 75 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: do eat and you put it in there, it gives 76 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: you a different kind of energy, I mean a substantial 77 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: energy and your focus. Once you clean all that stuff 78 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: out and give it a try. Everyone else cleans your 79 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: house out every now and again, a spring cleaning, You 80 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: clean your car out, you run good fluids to it. 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Just try it one time and see what happens, and 82 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: you'll be surprised what it does for you in your 83 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: mind and your body and your spirit. I mean, difficulty 84 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: strengthens the mind as labor does the body. So when 85 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: you're doing this stuff, when you go through one of 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: these facts, that actually strengthens all of those things. 87 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: As your systems begin to adjust to the fact. It's amazing. 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: You know, there's a brain within a brain. It's amazing 89 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: how our body prepares. You know, we crave food, we 90 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: prepare for what we're going to put it through. What 91 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: did you notice your systems were doing now that they 92 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: weren't getting food which they were so accustomed to. 93 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: Well, so most of the time I can run off 94 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: my adrenal glands now and when I'm meaning katosis. So 95 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: normally you only feel your adrenal glands fire when you're afraid. 96 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: I have that all the time. 97 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: I can feel that. 98 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: Energy going through my body when I get up and 99 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: I start moving around, and for whatever, if I get 100 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: into something difficult, I got to list something heavier or 101 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: I have to move fast, I can feel. 102 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: That firing, and then. 103 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't have the My bones used to hurt all 104 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: the time I join. My knees would crack, and my 105 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: elbows and stuff like that were cracking all the time 106 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: every time I stand up. That's all gone now. And 107 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: the inflammation and the swelling that I would carry, that's 108 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: all gone now. It's pretty amazing. I feel great. I 109 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: feel brand new. 110 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: You looked ten years younger, I told you Friday night, 111 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: you looked ten years younger. You had a youthful zest 112 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: about you. And I know, folks remember, but you have 113 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: a for a fifty year old man. You have a 114 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: lot more miles than that, most of it chronicled on 115 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: TV and even more than that in the book. So 116 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: you have lived in relative pain for twenty years. So 117 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: the fact that a fast could make you feel that 118 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: much better. You look lighter on your feet, you you 119 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: had a skip to your step. It's nice to see. 120 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 2: It's amazing. And the thing that I tell people I 121 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: do a little piddly two and three day fast. But 122 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: the thing that I tell people in this I can't 123 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 2: do it. You can do it. It's that first part 124 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: and pushing through that first part. Once you get through that, 125 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: you have complete command of yourself. I suspect you could 126 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 2: have gone much longer than forty days had you decided 127 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: to do so. 128 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: My mind had already shifted over. Something happened to me 129 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: on the twentieth twenty first day. 130 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: It woke me up. I woke up. 131 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: I felt it in my bikey It's like somebody hit 132 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: me in a chest and I kind of sat up 133 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: real fast in bed and my arms and my legs 134 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: were numb. Oh this happened to me. 135 00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: My sleep. 136 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: I wear one of those garments to track my sleep, 137 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: and I scored with the lowest score I had was 138 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: a ninety three. Most of the night it's one hundred. 139 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I have three hours of rim sleep now and two 140 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: and a half hours and three hours of deep sleep 141 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: registered all my watch every morning when I wake up, 142 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: and it says full recovery, complete balance, all of that. 143 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: And on that twenty first day, I woke up and 144 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: I and once my arms kind of moved around a 145 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: little bit and I could get blood flow because I 146 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: was in such a deep sleep that everything my body 147 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: was falling asleep and and my orians and everything had 148 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: slowed down so much that I was completely out. And 149 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: then I could feel that thing in my chest and 150 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: I tried to fall back asleep, but it just kept 151 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: growing and my energy levels kept spiking up or I 152 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: had to get up. It was four o'clock in the morning, 153 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: and I just started moving around and it hasn't gone 154 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: away since then.

So he's going to have your name. So 176 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: then when Crockett number two it was, it was meant 177 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: to be, although both of my boys cringe anytime dust 178 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: on the bottle goes on, because they go, yeah, Dad, 179 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: we know you wanted to name Crockett creole, and thank 180 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: god you didn't. In fact, it's kind of a taunt 181 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: by Michael T of Crockett that he could have been 182 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: named creole, because according to them, that's the worst name ever, 183 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: that's a horrible name. I think it's a great name. 184 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: I think it's a fantastic name. It's I like names 185 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: that are that are unique. You know, what's your what's 186 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: your brother law name? Jiggs? Is that really his name? 187 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: Romo's got a brother in law named Jiggs. I like 188 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: names where when you were in high school, if you'd 189 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: mentioned somebody saying, hey, I know a kid goes Stratford, 190 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: what's his name? Jiggs? You know a guy named ya know, Jiggs, 191 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: you don't have to know his last name.

It's got an initial. Yeah. But anyway, 198 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: so it was thirteen years ago today that Crockett came 199 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: home and didn't plan this hour. But we were having 200 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: dinner with a friend of ours last night at Maison Chinhwah, 201 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: which is right next to Rasserey nineteen, and it was 202 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: kind of a funny deal. My wife and I had 203 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: invited another couple to join us for dinner. And this 204 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: is over on West Gray, just a block east of Shepherd, 205 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: and we've been going to Brasserey nineteen for years. My 206 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 2: kid's favorite restaurant. That's their kind their special occasion restaurant. 207 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: We only go there on a special occasion. We go 208 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: other places, but for special occasions of birthday or whatever. 209 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: That was where we went for years and years and years. 210 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: That's been in a case. And the owner, Charles Clark, 211 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: is a good friend. And so I had to park 212 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: and walk past his restaurant to get to my own 213 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: chin wa And of course he was out front and 214 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: he spotted us, and so he said, and he's packed, 215 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: but I never call ahead and he just finds me 216 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: a table. So he gives us a big hug and 217 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: he says, where do y'all want to be in or out? 218 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: I'll get you a table. I'll make it real quick. Uh, 219 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 2: I have cancer. I have to go. You know, like, 220 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: what do you do at this moment? Right? So I said, oh, 221 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 2: h we're gonna have drinks after we eat. Somebody invited 222 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: us next door. There's a I guess there's a restaurant 223 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: next door. I'd been there. I knew there's restaurant next door, 224 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: and and he invited us there, and we're we're just 225 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: gonna have it. Then we'll come over here and have 226 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 2: a drink. And he said, oh, who Ernie Cockrell. Oh 227 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: I know Ernie. I know I introduced y'all. Yeah. Well, 228 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: well yeah, y'all come over here afterwards. So we go 229 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: eat and we come back. Remember I said that I'm 230 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: his guest. So Charles comes to sit down with us, 231 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: and he said, uh, how was it? And Ernie said 232 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: it's really good? Chinwell, their food is good. I hadn't 233 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: been there yet. Michael called me and said, hey, do 234 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: you want to go try it? Oh? Man, the lies 235 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: you tell and they catch up with you. When when 236 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: Crockett came home, Uh, my wife went she had to 237 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: spend over a month in Ethiopia to finish the papers 238 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: and things and be able to leave and come home 239 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: with him. He was two months shy of his sixth birthday, 240 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: and when he came home, Charles Clark found out what 241 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 2: time it was going to be that he got home, 242 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: and he was texting me, and I didn't know why, 243 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: but he was texting me, are they hear of the here? No? No, 244 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: it looks like it's gonna be about in another hours. 245 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: It'll be another thirty minutes. So we're sitting in the 246 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: backyard and Kroc has been home about thirty minutes. Michael 247 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: is loving on his little brother. He wanted a little 248 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: brother so badly and now he's got already made little 249 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: brother because Michael of Courses is a year older. So 250 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: he's six, about to turn seven. And we're sitting out back, 251 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: just the four of us, kind of bonding, and all 252 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: of a sudden we hear something out front, which you 253 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: could tell they don't speak English, so I'm thinking it's 254 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: probably some workers and they're hello, Hello, Hello. It's like, okay, 255 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: I guess they're not going away. So I walk in 256 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 2: the house. Crockett and Michael follow me and I go 257 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 2: to the front door. I opened the door and they 258 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: rip into it and it's Mariacci's. And so Charles Texans said, 259 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: did they get there? And so he had sent Mariacci 260 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: because he said, there's no you know, you're in Texas now, 261 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: and that's your Texas welcome. And we still to this 262 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: day laugh about Crockett remembers that like it was yesterday. 263 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: That was his his welcome to Texas was Mariacci's playing 264 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: in the yard. And I've got these photos of these 265 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: two kids, they'd never met at Mariachi before, and they're 266 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: they're they're they're pushing the keys on the accordion. You know, 267 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: they're showing no restraint, and they were so excited with this. 268 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: Just fascinating. You know, you got these fat Mexican guys 269 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: making all these great musical sounds coming out of there. 270 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: So anyway, today is the thirteenth anniversary of Crockett coming home, 271 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: which which is for our kids. I'd never heard this term, 272 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: but when we first adopted a number of folks would 273 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: email and refer to it as your gotcha day. We 274 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: call it his homecoming day or his second birthday. But 275 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: I always tell my kids you're extra special. You have 276 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: two birthdays, the day you came into this world, the 277 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: day you came into our home. So that's our day, 278 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: that's today. You know, when my kids were little, I 279 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: would often say, I wish they'd just stop aging, just 280 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: want to stay right where they are. I love this age. 281 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: And with each age it would oddly get better. And 282 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: people would say to me, no, no, no, no, just wait. 283 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: The great joy is when your young men, or if 284 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: you have daughters, you young ladies grow into adults and 285 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: you get to see them be adults, and how cool 286 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: it is. And I did not realize that it could 287 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: get better, but it does. It's different, it's different, but 288 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: it's good. It's it's a beautiful thing. It's uh, it's 289 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: a wonderful thing. Indeed, he and his mom came in 290 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: and woke me up this morning and they had Michael 291 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: T on the phone with him, and uh, there's there's 292 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: just nothing like family. There's just there's nothing like it. 293 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: It's a it's a beautiful, wonderful, glorious thing. Uh. When 294 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: Crockett had come home, it was about he didn't speak 295 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: English when when he arrived, not a word, And so 296 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: we started from scratch and it was amazing because we 297 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: were just sitting with him constantly and teaching him vocabulary 298 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: and teaching him words, and you know, you'd start, you'd 299 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: show your fingers, you one, two, three for it. You 300 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: just have them repeat and you build children, build vocabulary. 301 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: There's sponges. It's amazing. They're just sponges. And so it 302 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: was about less than two weeks after he had come 303 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 2: home and we were I had come home from work 304 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: and we were going through our drills and counting and 305 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 2: things like that, when this moment happened. 306 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 3: Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 307 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: five and deep. 308 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: Yea, what So what's funny is I played that on 309 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: the air years later. Crockett was maybe eight or nine, 310 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: and I played that on the air because I thought 311 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: it was the cutest thing ever. And he heard it 312 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: and he was wounded. He was hurt. And unfortunately, my 313 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: idea as to how you build intimacy and affection and 314 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: connection and bond and and and relationships is to cross boundaries, 315 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: is to have no boundaries. And most of the time 316 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: it works out well. People will say, ah, you're crazy, 317 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: you know, I can have conversations with you, or I'll 318 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: tell you things I wouldn't tell anybody else. And and 319 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: I think it creates a connection, and can it create 320 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 2: a connection very fast and a very deep connection, because 321 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 2: you get through all the all the small talk, and 322 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 2: you have UH at the end of it. You have 323 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: this this this UH in websites they call it stickiness. 324 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: But you have this this bond, this deep bond that 325 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: can bond, that can create very fast. And Crockett's feelings 326 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 2: were hurt. He did not like it, and and maybe 327 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: because it was too fresh, it was too raw. And 328 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: then several years later I mentioned that I had played 329 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: that and how I did upset him and that it's 330 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: always bothered me, and he said, it doesn't bother me anymore. Dad, 331 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: you could play it. And it just made me so 332 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 2: happy because it meant that he had crossed over into 333 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: that was a different person. That's not who I am today. 334 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: I was just a little kid who didn't speak English. 335 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: But I can appreciate that little kid. I can be happy. 336 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: It's sort of like if you're poor and you're conscious 337 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 2: of being poor until the point that you're not poor anymore, 338 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: or that you just conquer that and you go past 339 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: it and now you can make jokes about it. There 340 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 2: are things about our past, whatever they may be, that 341 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: we're self conscious of, and that at some point you 342 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: can appreciate that. Oh no, I'm not self conscious of 343 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: that anymore. And that's when you have you have completely 344 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: taken control. Did you have another one? What was it? Good? Crockett? 345 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: Come here. 346 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: Crockett came in and joined me this evening because we 347 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: had to run some errands together before the show started. 348 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: And he's been doodling on a piece of paper during 349 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: the course of the show.

What 364 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 2: do you think of that? 365 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's very nice that she's serving food for. 366 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: The homeless people.

That's my little Crockett, 377 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: sweet little fella. I often tell Crockett that the world 378 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 2: is neurotic and anxious and insecure and jealous and never change. 379 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: I have never in my life met I guess my 380 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: wife is this way too, But I've never in my 381 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: life met a more pure person who has no insecurities. 382 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: He does not in any way feel jealous or angry 383 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: or resentful of anybody else's success or anything they have 384 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 2: that he doesn't, or any honor that they that they achieve. 385 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: He doesn't feel. You know, I mean I am. I 386 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: am the exact opposite. I you know, I'm looking around. 387 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: Everybody's cheated me, nobody's giving me my due. I'm better 388 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: that anybody realizes that everybody's keeping me down. And you 389 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: know this is working against me. And oh man, I 390 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: chip on my shoulder like you wouldn't believe. But Crockett, 391 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: he just goes through life just happy, just pure happiness 392 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: and joy and contentment in who he is and where 393 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 2: he is and what he is. And I tell him 394 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 2: all the time, never changed. The world will try to 395 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 2: change you, the world will try to tell you. And 396 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: you know that's That's one of the things I think about, 397 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: is Crockett's personality when I think about politicians telling people, 398 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,239 Speaker 2: you know, those people over there, they hate you, they 399 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: want you to fail, and I just go, boy, you're 400 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: just polluting their minds. This is the Michael Mary Show. 401 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: And continuing the theme of the fact that Chance MacLean 402 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: is so where between absolutely crazy and incredibly insanely gifted 403 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 2: and talented and genius, or maybe both are true. He 404 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: wants for no good reason. You have to realize this 405 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: man has hundreds and hundreds of songs, most of them 406 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 2: original writing, some covers where he will take a song 407 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: and remake the song in a completely different genre for 408 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: no reason at all, Like Santa Claus is coming to 409 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 2: Town as a heavy metal tune? Who does that? Was 410 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: it Romstein? What's the band? Yeah? He remade He did 411 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: a Christmas album as if Romstein had done it. And 412 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: the thing about it was he had a day job 413 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 2: during all of this. He was working at n OV 414 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: and other jobs while doing this, and this was what 415 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: he did in his spare time for nobody to ever hear. 416 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 2: Who creates these things that may or may not be funny? 417 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: You don't know until you expose them to someone else. 418 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: And there was no audience for him. He wasn't on 419 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 2: the air. He was just making songs for no good reason. 420 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: So he he remade the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. 421 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: You can figure out what his inspiration was. Just six 422 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: right back here. A tale full of facts. 423 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 4: A tale of a trip that was feetfull, commenced from 424 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 4: a port tropical lover just before a storm that turnt 425 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: hat full. 426 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: Right wash a windy shouting man. 427 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: Just hi, baby show that's Chance the earlier the voice 428 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 2: Noah five just in a while. You probably already figured 429 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 2: out by now. Chance was the theater kid. I often 430 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: tell him he's the gayest straight man I know, or 431 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: the straightest gay man. I'm not sure exactly what. But 432 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: he has way way too much talent, way too much 433 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 2: talent to be normal. It's other people to just and 434 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 2: his son's just as bad. His son can sing better 435 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 2: and act better, and is even more creative and artistic. 436 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: You know what His son does for a living, works 437 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: for him, but he can no longer work for him 438 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: full time. He works for him to help Chance out. 439 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: His son and his wife started a business. They take 440 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: cameras from the nineteen eighties. They buy them, and they'll 441 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: buy them in Batchess. You know, somebody will they're on 442 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: the Internet and they'll find I guess you use search terms. 443 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how you find this Craigslist or where 444 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: it is eBay, and they will find that somebody is selling, 445 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: you know, a collection of old cameras that are worth nothing, 446 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: and they'll give a guy three hundred dollars for one 447 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 2: hundred cameras. He brings them in and he's a he's 448 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 2: a camera and technology Geet brings it in, checks it 449 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: all out. It's like who was it. Lexis used to 450 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: do that where you could get the you could buy 451 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: a car that was a couple of years old, but 452 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 2: Lexus would give you the warranty on it because they 453 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: had run it through their system. I guess they all 454 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 2: do that. Chevy probably does it as well. But he 455 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: does that for the camera and then he sells the 456 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: camera for say three hundred dollars, and he markets it. 457 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: He takes all the photos of it, and he writes 458 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: whole story. And so Chance says that if you go 459 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 2: into his house, you walk in there and their boxes everywhere. 460 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: These are boxes of cameras that have come in that 461 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 2: he hasn't inventoried, yeah yet. And those are boxes that 462 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: are going to the mailboxes, et cetera, or ups story. 463 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 2: I guess it is now. And so every day there 464 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: are just loads of boxes going Those are packages. Those 465 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 2: are fulfillment somebody has ordered a camera. Well, when he 466 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: started this on the side, he's working for his dad 467 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: full time. And Chance said you know, he's gonna mess 468 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 2: around and make a full time business out of this. 469 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 2: And I thought, well, yeah, that that sounds like a 470 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: full time business. You know, in a small town in 471 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 2: the early eighties, women would get a bedazzler. They'd order 472 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: the bedazzler off off the off the off the of 473 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 2: the one eight hundred number on TV and they would 474 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 2: start bedazzling, and you know, they'd be dazzle a sweatshirt 475 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: for this woman's sweatshirt for that and they would decide 476 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 2: based on you know, some other woman would say, you 477 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 2: ought to start a business. You can make some money 478 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: off this. Well, you only know ten people and you 479 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 2: don't have the internet. But they would, you know, they'd 480 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: go file the documents and do the whole thing, and 481 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 2: they were going to So when Chance told me that, 482 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: that's kind of what I thought of this. Oh yeah, 483 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: I'm sure that's going to be a thriving business. I'm 484 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 2: sure there's a booming demand for nineteen eighties cameras. Yep, 485 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 2: that's I wouldn't quit my day job. Well a month later, Hey, 486 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 2: I know you're going to laugh, but Noah's businesses is 487 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: really doing well. His wife's his wife's really good at 488 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: the marketing side of it, and he's really good at 489 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: refurbishing these old cameras, and there is a nostalgia thing 490 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: the kids light these old cameras. So at some point 491 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: when Michael was sixteen, I got in in his cheap 492 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: and we started Bronco. We start driving around and in 493 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: the console was a mid or early to mid eighties 494 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 2: camera and I said, why do you have this? And 495 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: he said, oh, for my birthday. My friends got together, 496 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: they all pitched in and they got me that for 497 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: my birthday. Why would they get you that? That's what 498 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: I wanted. I like retro cameras.
