1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: I received an email asking for an update on Bert 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Harvey's case, the Free Bert movement, and the answer is 3 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: they went to court. They were there fewer than five minutes. 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: The judge thought it was a ridiculous case and tossed 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: it out and ordered that Bert's gonna be given back 6 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: to him, which they took, of course. And you know, 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: I suppose all's well, that ends well. Our friend d 8 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Dan Cogdail represented him, and he had Anthony Osso in 9 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: his office handle the courtroom portion of it. And I've 10 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: had friends who were so angry over this case. One 11 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: of my friends, Larry Hoffmann, was so furious. He said, 12 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to buy to find out what the gun was. 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm buying him a replacement. I said, Larry, I need 14 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: you to calm down. We're gonna get his gun back. 15 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. And I said, I love that you're 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: not sheep. You don't just go along to get along, 17 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: and as long as you're not the one being hit 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: in the wackamole game, you're happy. I appreciate that you 19 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: have vicarious rage for Bert. However, Bert is taking this 20 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: pretty well and he's not going to let him knock 21 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: it not let it knock him off. Course, well just no, no, 22 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I get it. I love that you care. I do. 23 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: But you know, I've been thinking a lot about this, 24 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: and this is this is a hard thing to reconcile. 25 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: So most of you heard me tell the story. Our 26 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: friend Bert Harvey was with his son in his son's truck. 27 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: He built this, they renovated or they fixed up an 28 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: old truck, and he gave it to his son at sixteen. 29 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: It's nothing fancy, but it's his son's truck. He's proud 30 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: of it. And so the two of them were in 31 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: the parking lot of Rudy's Barbecue out off two forty 32 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: nine and Bert's wife Sarah and his other son, Oh gosh, 33 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: my memory. Anyway, so they're two different vehicles and they're 34 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: leaving this meet up. They're in a car club and 35 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: it's their family activity, and they're headed back home to Crosby. 36 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: So they're on the northwest side. They're headed back home 37 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: to Crosby, and Bert's son, sixteen, John says, do a 38 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: burnout or peel out as we used to say, or 39 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: burn rubber or however you say it. And so in 40 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: this private parking not a public road, everybody else is 41 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: up on the porch looking out to watch this, because 42 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: it's a car club, that's what they do. And he 43 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: does the burnout, pulls up to two forty nine feet 44 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: er road right there, turns right the only way you 45 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: can go, and an officer happens to hear it, not 46 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: see it, pulls him over. And when the officer puts 47 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: in his name Burt's full name is Robert Harvey, he 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: gets a hit for a Robert Harvey in Ohio. Bad guy, 49 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: long criminal history. He comes back, stuffs and cuffs Burt 50 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: stuffs and cuffs his kid. Well, mama gets out of 51 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: her vehicles, say an officer, my son did nothing wrong. 52 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: He yells at her, get back in the car. Okay, 53 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: so he made a mistake, it happens. Did my brother 54 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: ever make a mistake in over there years of being 55 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: along for I'm sure he did. Who wouldn't write? The 56 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: Lord knows I make enough mistakes. But when he gets 57 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: this hardened criminal Bert Harvey from Ohio who's done all 58 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: these horrible things and has an FBI tag on him 59 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: and really really bad guy, when he gets him to 60 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: intake at the Cyprus substation, the officer there gets his 61 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: name and his day of birth. And he said, uh, 62 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 1: what are you here for? And he said, well, he says, 63 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: he says, I'm a bad guy and I did all this. 64 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: So the officer overhears this, and he says he's got 65 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: FBI hold on him. He's gone. The ulsers, let me 66 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: run this again. What's your birth date again? Blah does 67 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: the whole thing. He says, No, he doesn't. He doesn't. 68 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: You got you got the wrong person. This is not 69 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: that guy. So officer, it was at Joseph Johnson, I 70 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: think's his name. He he He says, well it was. 71 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: It's on the computer in my car. I'll go check it. 72 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: He goes out and checks it, and he admits he 73 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: got the wrong guy. But pride pride goeth before the fall. 74 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: He couldn't say, my bad. I treated you like a 75 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: really bad guy, treated your son like a really bad guy, 76 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: because I thought I had on my hands a really 77 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: bad guy. And you know what, I completely understand that. 78 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: I don't fault you for that. Officer. You're out there 79 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: all by your lonesome. You are a target of bad guys. 80 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: You just pulled a guy over who you believe you 81 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: made the mistake. But you still reasonably believe that he's 82 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: a violent criminal, and he may not want to go 83 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: back to prison, and he may be out to kill you. 84 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: I could even see that. You might think, you know what, 85 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 1: the kid's probably gonna shoot me while I'm cuffing the dad. 86 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: So I'm going to detain the kid too. Okay, all 87 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: of those are mistakes, but they're mistakes that can happen. 88 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: You shouldn't do this five times a night, but it 89 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: could happen. But the moment you realize you've made a mistake, hey, 90 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: let's call this thing quits. My mistake. Can I buy 91 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: you guys a barbecue at Rudy's? This was my error, 92 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: and y'all have been good sports about it. No, he didn't. 93 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: He puts on the charge. He puts failure to signal. 94 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: You're coming from a private property onto a one way road. 95 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: You can't go the other way. It's an access road. 96 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: He puts the reckless driving. But then here's the one. 97 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: He says, Well, you were committing a crime and you 98 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: have a pistol in your truck. Well, Bert has both. 99 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: It's open carry in the Steate of Texas, so having 100 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: a pistol with no Cromme record is not a crime. 101 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: And he also has a concealed handgun license First states 102 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: with reciprocity. When he travels outside the state, you can 103 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: still have a CHL, and there are still reasons to 104 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: have a CHL. But he has him with unauthorized possession 105 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: of a weapon. Well, it's not because he hasn't committed 106 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: some terrible crime. So Burt's in jail. He's in the 107 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: calaboose for thirty two hours. And this guy, this guy knows, 108 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: he knows what he's done, and he's still out there 109 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: as a deputy. He was fired from the jail ten 110 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: years ago in a pretty nasty scandal that other law 111 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: enforcement officers who know me sent it to me and said, 112 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: this ain't the first. But here's the point. Bert's out 113 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: all that money and all that time, and he's a 114 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: good sport about it. But you don't get made whole 115 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: line of this. He will now open the phone lines 116 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: officially seven one three nine nine nine one thousand seven 117 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: one three nine nine nine one thousand. I was asked 118 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: recently by a listener, if now that we're nationally syndicated, 119 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: we're going to use a one eight hundred number, and 120 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: it struck me as an odd question, but I started 121 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: thinking about it. First of all, you bout can't get 122 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: a one eight hundred number any longer because they're all taken. 123 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: So people do eight three, three and eight eight eight 124 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: different ones like that? Did you see the phone line 125 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: gym for the recovered anorexics eight eight eight eight eight 126 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: eight eight eight? And I was wondering, why would someone 127 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: why would you care? Like, why would you think we 128 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: needed to? Does it sound less national to have a 129 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: seven to one to three number? I I don't know. 130 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think sometimes people become very accustomed to 131 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: the way things are and confuse that with the way 132 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: things need to be. Just because that is what people 133 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: do doesn't mean that's the best way to do it. Plus, 134 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: I like our number seven one three, nine, one thousand 135 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: because you got a Duey decimal system thing going there. 136 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: And the due decimal system is awesome because long before computers, 137 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: the Dewey decimal system brought order to disorder. It it brought, 138 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: it brought, uh stabilized, it stabilized the chaos. And that 139 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: makes things that do that make me very happy. So anyway, 140 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: I got to think, and we had once looked at 141 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: a one eight hundred number much earlier when we were 142 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: trying so hard to seem like we were a national show. 143 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: And Brian Hackel, who ran all the numbers for me, 144 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: finally came to the conclusion because you not only have 145 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: to have the number, you got to pay for every 146 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: call that comes through it, and it adds up fast, 147 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: especially because we do a lot of well, I guess 148 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: you could have a backline. It wasn't a one eight hundred. 149 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: But anyway, the point of all that is, I just 150 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: decided that that wasn't really worth the hassle. But I 151 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: was curious if you think it matters, because I guess 152 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: every other show does have a one eight hundred number. 153 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: But I wonder if that's because the syndicator, just when 154 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: they put them on the air, does a one eight 155 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: hundred number. And here you go, and they don't have 156 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: a number they already. Like the other thing is, in 157 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: the course of my lifetime, the whole phone number system changed. 158 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: You know, you didn't have to have the area code 159 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: when I was growing up, which that added a packet 160 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,119 Speaker 1: of three more numbers, which complicates the thing. And then 161 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: and then you had the one area code for the 162 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: area So when I came to Houston, you had seven 163 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: one three, and I remember you didn't want you didn't 164 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: want to have to get stuck with a two eight 165 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: one number. Seven one three was cool, but two eight 166 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: one wasn't. And I worked at a downtown law firm, 167 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: and I remember if somebody had a two eight one 168 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: number that that was the reason to get jabbed because 169 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: you had a two eight one. And now there's so 170 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: many of these numbers, you you know, it's uh. Then 171 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: you had to go eight three, two, three, four six 172 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: because you just keep running out numbers. But the one 173 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: eight hundred was such a big deal when we were 174 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: growing up, and I guess that did give it a 175 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: sense of, you know, this is really big because that's 176 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: what you were accustomed to. I probably spend more time 177 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: thinking about stupid stuff like that than I ought to. 178 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I was just curious.

I don't know the numbers, but I know 332 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: it's gotta be low, all right, So let's say it's 333 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: one percent of that one percent, I'll bet you fifty 334 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: percent of them homeschool. And it's almost as if people 335 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: get to a point in their lives where they're seeking 336 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: a level of wholesomeness, simplicity in a good way, peace, 337 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: control over your life. You know you talked about in 338 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: the mornings, you're not rushed. I think that's one of 339 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: the things that we take for granted, you know, when 340 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: when we have to do so much of public education 341 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: or going to a school period is the getting there 342 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: and getting home, and so much of it is the 343 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: lining up and the silliness of crowd control, which is 344 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: which is what it is, and the conformity of it all. 345 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: And and when you talk about education from the perspective 346 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: of an individual growing and learning and building skills and 347 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: developing and all those things, you don't necessarily need a school. 348 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: And so much of what the school day has become 349 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the development of the individual, 350 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: whether academically. 351 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 3: It's crowd control, it's right, it's the kids. How long 352 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 3: does it take the line up to go to how 353 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 3: long does it take the lineup to go to lunch? 354 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: Okay? 355 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 3: So how long does it take for bus line? 356 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: Okay? So let's go through. Good on you, by the way, LASSI. 357 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: If I forget to tell you because we run out 358 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: of time, Good on you for being willing to accept 359 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: the chance. Because I can imagine that you're laying in 360 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: bed before this starts and thinking, I'm not a teacher. 361 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: What am I going to do? So how do you 362 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: decide what we're going to do today? 363 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 3: Well, it's been really nice here in Iowa the last 364 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 3: few days, so it's short time. My youngest would rather 365 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 3: do chores and get paid any day of the week 366 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 3: than school, and so he's got a fantastic work ethic 367 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 3: at nine years old. And if it's a cold chili 368 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: day out, we'll stay in and do bookwork. And by bookwork, 369 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 3: I mean it is very minimal compared to what people think. 370 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: And do you have a do you have a syllabus 371 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: or do you have some curriculum or something online? Because 372 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of resources. 373 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 3: I don't do much online. The only things we really 374 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: do with computers are typing lessons, okay, and I pick 375 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: and pick from this curriculum or this curriculum and kind 376 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 3: of mash them together. But my kids are, you know, 377 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 3: further than what they would be in their grade in school, 378 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 3: and so I get to keep going and going grade 379 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 3: by grade as fast as we want. I was, and 380 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: so they're a couple books that we like to buy 381 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 3: and they work on them throughout the year, and that's 382 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 3: kind of the way we do it. We do a 383 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: lot of pencil work. We're not all on computers like 384 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: a lot of I think kids in school are. 385 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, I think this is just fascinating in wonderful. 386 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: I think there are all a lot of mothers out there, 387 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: especially who have a guilt because they would like to 388 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: homeschool and they're scared of the challenge or they can't 389 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: quite pull the trigger and they wish they could. Can 390 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: you hang with us or just a moment? I think 391 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: it's very inspiringly. 392 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 4: So I really do that ag and your name is 393 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 4: still got me all messed up that the rest of 394 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 4: that I like, I used to get right. 395 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: I typically do get nasty message when I say this, 396 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: but I think people don't hear what I'm saying. I 397 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: used to think that homeschoolers were weirdos, and maybe they 398 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: were back then, when I was growing up, I had 399 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: a distant relative that they were very poor and the 400 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: door to their trailer never closed all day. It was 401 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: open all day long, no air conditioning, which in Orange, 402 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: Texas is I mean, that's man's pretty third world standards. 403 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: You don't know a lot of people that live like 404 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: that these days. This was, mind you, this was forty 405 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: five years ago. But the kids were described by their 406 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: parents as homeschooled, and we would say, but there's no 407 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: actual education going on here. They're just home. They're not homeschooled, 408 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: they're just home. So maybe that kind of gave me 409 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: the wrong idea of what homeschooling was. And then I 410 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: was on city council and I had made some positive 411 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: statements based on what I was learning about homeschooling, and 412 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: so I was asked to speak to the homeschool graduation 413 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: and I started. I kind of became, inadvertently this sort 414 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: of poster boy for a public person who was in 415 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: favor of homeschooling. And I didn't even have kids. I 416 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: kind of felt like I was posing here. But the 417 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: more I learned, the more kids I saw. So yesterday 418 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: I was talking to one of our show sponsors and 419 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: named Tillman Holloway. Some people will remember his grandfather, Jack Trotter, 420 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: who was a big deal in Houston many years ago, 421 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: and Tilman's grandfather. On the other side's a guy named 422 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: Bud McFadden, number sixty one at the University of Texas, 423 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: legendary football player, went to the NFL Hall of Famer 424 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and Tilman is the smartest offensive lineman 425 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: you're ever going to meet in your life. And he too, 426 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: wore sixty one for the University of Texas, blocked for 427 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: Vince Young. But he's brilliant. I mean, the guy's absolutely brilliant. 428 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: And he was homeschooled, and he talked about being you know, 429 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: homeschooled and then going to the University of Texas. Austin's 430 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of a wild scene and I said, were you 431 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: ready for college? He said, I graduated summa cum laane. 432 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: I think so, I said, dude, you're a right guard, 433 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: you're an offensive lineman. They got a finance degree with 434 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: highest honors from the University of Texas in a tough 435 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: business school. Yeah, I'd say you were ready for college. 436 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: So I see all these stories. Well, there are more 437 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: people who were homeschooled or who are now homeschooling than 438 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: you realize. Chance McLain, for instance, he just sent me 439 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: a message zar. A good point to make is smart 440 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: homeschool parents don't try to recreate school school as we 441 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: know it and more importantly, as we remember it. It's gone. 442 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: A lot of new homeschool parents try to recreate something 443 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: that doesn't exist anymore. And wasn't that efficient to begin with? 444 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: This lady you have on the air is spot on. 445 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: Read books, challenge your kids, get them out in the world. 446 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: It was terrifying and people judged the hell out of us, 447 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: but I'm grateful that we did it. My kids split 448 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: time between Northland Christian and homeschool. Gunn didn't technically graduate 449 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: high school. Yet she graduated from A and M easily 450 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: with high honors. Of course she did because she's brilliant. 451 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: But I know so many people like this, Alisa, thanks 452 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: for hanging around. Can I speak to one of your 453 00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: two kids for a moment? 454 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: Yes, Asher is right here. 455 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: Okay, Hello, Asher?

Okay, all right, can 503 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: I talk to your mom again? Ashra? Thanks for visiting 504 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: with us. By the way, here, well, Hi, that's not 505 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: an easy thing to do because he can't see me. 506 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't know who I am. I'm a disembodied voice 507 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: asking these random questions that he has no reason why 508 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: I'm asking. So, what is the biggest challenge Elisa to homeschooling? 509 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: Uh? 510 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: For you? And by the way, we spoke to a 511 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: Lisa during the break, if there's someone out there that 512 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: would like some advice because you're thinking of taking the 513 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: plunge to become a homeschool family. She has agreed. I 514 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: don't give out personal information, especially for women on the air, 515 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: So you can email me and I will afford them 516 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: to her and she can respond to you. But what's 517 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: the biggest challenge that you did not foresee? 518 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 3: Honestly, that's hard to think about. A challenge about I 519 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 3: guess maybe filling our day with activities when it's cold out, 520 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 3: I guess, But I don't know. I'm not a huge 521 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 3: preacher of things in general, but I just I the 522 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: time that I get with my kids that people will 523 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 3: never have sending their kids to public school, is a 524 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: thing I cherish and I'm so grateful for the most 525 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 3: even if we do absolutely nothing, just being able to 526 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 3: see and speak to your kids at any time during 527 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 3: the day has been the best thing we've ever done 528 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: in our lives. My husband works out of town. He's 529 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 3: a real estate developer, so he's not here some weeks, 530 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 3: but we're forever grateful when he does get to be 531 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 3: home with us and work from home. 532 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,239 Speaker 1: God bless you. I love. That feels very wholesome. Those 533 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: kids are going to be the better for it, and 534 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: you're going to be the better for it. So if 535 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: someone has a question related to or maybe you're a 536 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: homeschool mom or dad and you want to bounce some 537 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: ideas or share some things that we or said you have, 538 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: if you'll email me, I will not respond to you. 539 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: I will forward it onto Elisa. All right, I know 540 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: we had some other folks on the line. Hang tight, 541 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: will get to you.
