We did we talk about TikTok the last 60 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: time we talk. No, we didn't. But I am obsessed 61 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: with you on social media and I love the fact 62 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: that you are. You put I don't put content out 63 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: all the time because I'm I'm busy, I'm I'm have 64 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: got a baby zebra to feed. You got a baby 65 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: baby de feed. I got a baby zebra to feed. 66 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: But you do the the stupid, funniest thing on your 67 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: social media. I love you. I wasn't. I was never 68 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: a big social media fan. I understood that it was 69 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: a way to help grow your brand. I understood it 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: was a part of the marketing thing. And it was 71 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: because now people, you know, that's where they get their information. 72 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: And so I wasn't. You were you were a reluctant 73 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: entrance into I was reluctant, But I honestly felt like 74 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: I would watch my friends doing all these instagrams and 75 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: I would think, Man, they're they're really needy. This person 76 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: needs to hug, you know, like there's something this guy, 77 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: this guy really needs attention. Eating bagels it's like, what, 78 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: what do you do? You need a hug? But then 79 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: TikTok came along. My wife said to me, you should 80 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: do it. She said, you know you're you're funny and 81 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: you enjoy the interaction with Pete both. But I never 82 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: knew how much I'd like it. And the truth is, 83 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: it isn't making the content that I like so much, 84 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: because and I do like that, that comes far far 85 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: after how connected we get to become with with people. 86 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: I have found the greatest voices, the funniest people, and 87 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: I have literally not just follow them, but then written 88 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: them and or commented on them. And all of a sudden, 89 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: this great, big world has become so much smaller, and 90 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: I have, actually, I have actually started friendships. When I 91 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: met you, you were a kid talking about your grandpa 92 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: doing plumbing at my farm, and you were goofy and silly. 93 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: And so when I watch you on TikTok, I'm like, 94 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: that's my Micha all that that's who I'm met. And 95 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: I love that I know all of you. I mean 96 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: that I get to experience all the different variations of 97 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: your wonderful personality. I love that I get to be 98 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: those people. It's so much fun to play those and 99 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: I say, play those characters and make sure, but they're 100 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: just a part of you. They're a part of it. 101 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: It's funny when we when I think about you and 102 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I think about what you do and how you do it, 103 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: it's very interesting. It's very I'm sure that in parts 104 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: it's calculated and in other parts it's a very natural thing. 105 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: But you have an ability to really make listeners feel 106 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: their heard. You're not just like other people. And you 107 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: know that are putting out now, here's the song, here's 108 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: the thing. There's an actual back and forth to the relationship, 109 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: and you are also there's a sexiness there and whether 110 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: you mean to do that or you don't mean to 111 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: do that, there's a definite undertone of sexuality. There's a 112 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: thing where you are. You're not only communicating with them, 113 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: but you are in a in a strange way, romancing them. 114 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: And and I've said you before that there's so much 115 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: that I feel that we have. It's similar because we 116 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: as much as we love our audience and we and 117 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: they are our extended family, our job is also to 118 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: seduce them in a way, and that's when we get 119 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: to become that other person. That isn't that isn't the 120 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: googy person, that isn't the self africanting person world you 121 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: know parts of us that are that person, so we 122 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: can be grown up professionals. Yeah. Absolutely, I want to 123 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: fall in love with your new baby. Are you trying? 124 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Are you and your wife trying to catch up with me? 125 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: And that's what is that? What's going on? There is 126 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: no possibility, you know what it's Sometimes it's overwhelming, like 127 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: as you know, but it's a joy. I mean, the 128 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: fact that I get to to live both of these 129 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: laps is I was talking about it this morning, And 130 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: you get to be a fabulous dad with fabulous kids. 131 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: And thank God that that everything is going well because 132 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: I know you have hit basis where nobody ever wants 133 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: no parents well ever, can I ask you something?

Like I mean, I knew so 136 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: many people that have never dealt with any kind of 137 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: adversity and or mental health issues, and all of a sudden, 138 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: we have a whole world that that can be empathetic 139 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: towards each other that at least we know there I mean, 140 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: people suffered, people are still suffering. I mean, I look 141 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: out to my shows and I see I mean, I 142 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: see thousands of people every night, and I know it 143 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: was tough for them to get there. I know it 144 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: wasn't easy. I know they worked their ass off for 145 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: the money they make. I know the gas is expensive. 146 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: I know that the economy is not great.

I mean, 149 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: for a long time, we were all just we feared 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: for our lives, for the lives of people we love, 151 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: people lost people they loved. Um mental health obviously, just 152 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: it was always been an issue.

The whole world felt like, oh, 157 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: this is yeah, and you're right there there, you and 158 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: I are very blessed. I mean, when it when it 159 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: started coming down, when I saw what was happening, and 160 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, kids in the car, we're going to 161 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: the ranch.

I think my natural inclination, you know, 168 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: has always been to be a caretaker. Otherwise I would 169 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: not have fifting child. And but um, what it did 170 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: for me is it really helped me prioritize in uh 171 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: a way that that I didn't see coming. None of 172 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: us saw it coming. And I thought that I had 173 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: prioritized fairly well before, but I hadn't. I hadn't, And 174 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: it really like laser focused me on what really matters, 175 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: what really really matters, the caretakers at the hospital, of 176 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: the people on the front line, they really really matter. 177 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: And I had given lip service before thanking nurses and doctors. 178 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, no that matters. And what kind of 179 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: stories were you getting? Because I know people contact you 180 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: a ton of these things with a ton of letters 181 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: that were you Were you really receiving a ton of stuff? Oh? Yeah, 182 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: my my phone calls, I mean I get call attempts now, 183 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: and I'm sure it doubled or tripled because people say 184 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: that again, how many attempts fifty thousand call attempts plus 185 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: a night. I'm not kidding you. Wow, I'm in the 186 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: wrong business. Yeah, that we have an eight hundred number 187 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: six three threela and so we track how many call attempts. 188 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a call screener. I don't know if 189 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: you know this. I don't have a call screener. I 190 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: did for years, and what I've discovered is I like 191 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: the intimacy and the immediacy of answering the phone and 192 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: talking to people, because with the call screener, it's kind 193 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: of like the listeners give them the best stuff and 194 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,479 Speaker 1: then by the time they get to me, they've rethought 195 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: in their head, or they've staged what they're gonna say, 196 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: or they've rehearsed it. I don't want to do that. 197 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: I just I like, Hi, Michael Boublet, it's Delilah. Who's 198 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: on your heart tonight? You know? I like that, that 199 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: that intimacy. And so when when the pandemic hit, when 200 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: the shutdowns hit, I became a lot of people his 201 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: only friend, that's Michael. Do you know how many people 202 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: live in a freaking high rise apartment and don't know 203 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: their neighbors. You and I would never be that person. Um, 204 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: we know everybody on every floor and their habits and 205 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: their favorite song. That's just the way you and I 206 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: are built. But there are a lot of people who 207 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: aren't wired like us, and they were so desperately lonely. Yes, 208 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: and that I have been blessed to be entrusted with 209 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: this place that God has placed me where I get 210 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: to be people's friends. But with that comes a great responsibility. 211 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: What do I what do I take to you privately 212 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: about about that relationship with the people, Because listen, they 213 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: think we're doing an interview where you and me are 214 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: doing this interview things. When I write you personally, I 215 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: always say that I find you and I are similar 216 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: in our unique love for those people, that they are 217 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: not they are not our bread and butter, they are 218 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: our extended family, and that we genuinely care about them, 219 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: and that actually, you know what I just read? This 220 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: is it? Okay? If I read this, you can read anything. 221 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: You can do, Michael, you can do it. So here 222 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: is here is a private message between you and I 223 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: where this is what I say to you genuinely. I 224 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: think we care about listeners. We care about them as 225 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: human beings and are extended family, and you can't fake that. 226 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: That is the magic or an X factor that makes 227 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: the relationships we have with them so unique and special. 228 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: So that's how I that's not that's me writing you 229 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: in a private conversation, and that's how I really do 230 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: feel that that is a and you can't fake it 231 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: because people will see through it and uh. And you 232 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: might be able to get away with it for months 233 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: or maybe years, but at some point you are And 234 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: how long have you been doing this? How long has 235 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: it been now? Um, since a year before you were born. 236 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: I've been on the air since a year before you 237 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: one years. Yeah, something like that. Listen. The world is 238 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: in a tough place right now, and so you have 239 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: to you have to know that that's just what That's 240 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: just what's happening. And I try so hard not to 241 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: to fan the flames, not to be divisive. I don't 242 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: want to be divisive. I don't want anything on my 243 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: show to be divisive. I don't want people fighting with 244 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: each other. But sometimes this our world is divided. But 245 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something interesting and I talk about 246 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: every night. Tonight, I'm going to go play it here. 247 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: I think we've got twelve thousand people that will be 248 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: out there to night, and I swear to you that 249 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: will be black and white and gained straight, and young 250 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: and old and Richard four and there will be no division. 251 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: There will be no division. There are people at their best. 252 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: And it's harder to be a bad bad guy or 253 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: a bad girl than it is to be good. And 254 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: I truly believe it when I see it. When I 255 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: see it out in that context, I realize it gives 256 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: me hope, when it gives me faith. And I talk 257 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: about it very openly because we're we're better than that. 258 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: We're better than to be divided by audiology or race 259 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: or or you know. It's okay, we can we can disagree. 260 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: That's the thing we're going to disagree. I will not 261 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of subjects you and I as friends 262 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: won't agree on at all. But I don't have to 263 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: hate you with guts for it. Yeah, you don't have 264 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: to agree with me, uh or or or pray the 265 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: same way I pray, or raise your kids the same 266 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: way I raise my kids. Um to be friends and yeah, 267 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: we just got to get there. Now, we just got 268 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: to get there. But I mean it's hard to get 269 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: there when I think people are hurting in many ways 270 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: exactly I think, and it's coming out as anger. Yeah, 271 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: and it's just, you know, it's we're scared and anxious, 272 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: and when we feel those things, we lose our common sense, 273 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: We we lose our empathy for each other, we lose 274 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: that love we have for ourselves, and it's just becomes 275 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: as one of those sort of domino effects. Maybe we 276 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: can make a difference. I'm trying. I'm trying. Every moment 277 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: in a day we have an opportunity to change lives. 278 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: And it's one small, random act of kindness. And every 279 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: single person, every one of those fifty people that writes 280 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: to every night, they each have so much power. They 281 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: may not know they have so much power, but they 282 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: have no idea what one smile, but one turning to 283 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: a guy in the elevator and saying, Dan, boy, you 284 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: look great. I love those boots. I know it sounds 285 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: trivial and small, but it isn't small. It isn't small. 286 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: No idea that to say, you know, just I love 287 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: those that TikTok's where someone puts a little note and 288 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: they'll handle it a note to somebody and they'll say, 289 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: you know you made a difference. Yeah, we all have 290 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: that power. We all have and you know this this conversation, 291 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: there will be cynical people.

They've 323 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: got the greatest name, Forever Forever dot com. I love 324 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: my family, and I love all my family memories, especially 325 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: all the photos and all the videos of my children 326 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: and my grandchildren. But I have the same problem them 327 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: as many people. My photos my videos are everywhere. Some 328 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: are in old boxes and old photo albums. Others are 329 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: on social media sites and cloud storage accounts and thousands 330 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: are on my phone.

Right. 362 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: So I'm talking to these people and I'm just like 363 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: so jazzed, I can't even stand it. I'm like, I 364 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: work with foster kids, and foster kids are always underserved 365 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: in and there in our town, there's a population of 366 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: kids who are homeless and they actually sleeping cars and there, 367 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: so when they're served, and I want to get them 368 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: classes and blah blah blah. And this woman had this 369 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: beautiful little girl and I just, you know, zeroed in 370 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: on this little girl I'm like, oh my god, she's 371 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: so cute.

You know, 374 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: because she was talking and said well, I said, so 375 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: we got four seven thousand kids in adoption and foster care, 376 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: adopt one. I said, I've adopted six. My house is 377 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: kind of full. I could use a little healthier. And 378 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: she said, oh my gosh. I was thinking about this 379 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: for the last few weeks. She walked away. She called 380 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: her her fiancee and she said, I'm going to do it. 381 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get foster licensed. I mean right there, and 382 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, now, how many lives will that touch? How 383 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: many lives will that touch? Absolutely? So I just want 384 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: I just wanted to see a Ted talk and a 385 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: woman killed me. She killed me, And now that was 386 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: what she did. On her TED Talk, she said that 387 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: she was she came from a really rough family. She 388 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: said that they knew in school they would make fun 389 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: of her because she she smelled, because her and her 390 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: brother didn't have a way to have a shower. They 391 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: would make fun of her because she would take app 392 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: of course for the garbage can, and that's what she 393 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: would eat. And she said that her and her brother 394 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: would all come from school and there was an elderly 395 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: couple that would uh every day would would intercept them 396 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: and give them cookies and or peanut butter sandwich and 397 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: and she went, you know, she became a successful writer, 398 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: and she was about seventy something years old. And I'll 399 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: make the story short, but at the end of the 400 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 1: at the end of the story, she said, you know, 401 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: those people would probably never had had any idea of 402 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: the impact they had on me. She said, but that 403 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: the teacher who believed in me and told me that 404 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: I was talented. It's the first time anyone ever made 405 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: me feel that I was that I had a life 406 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: with living. She had thought about suicide when she was 407 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: seven for the first time and and now she said, 408 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, she's gone on and she went on to adopted, 409 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: and she went on to live this incredible life. And 410 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,479 Speaker 1: it was it killed me. I got to the end. 411 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: I was a mess. And she said, you know, I'm 412 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: seventy something years old. I have a view, a full 413 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: family that loves me. And she said, but to this day, 414 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: I'd never walked past the garbage can without wondering if 415 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: there's an apple corn and you know, crush me, crush me, 416 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: crush me, because it's, uh, it's a big scary world sometimes. 417 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: So I just gotta keep keep aware of things like that, 418 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: every opportunity, every opportunity that you have to pour love 419 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: into somebody's life. Yeah. And by the way, that goes 420 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: for animals. So my wife, actually believe it or not, 421 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: talked to me into buying a company weirdly with Sho 422 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: Dog and Chelsea Handler and some of our friends.
