1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: Michael Varry Show is on the air. John Dune has 3 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: been more or less useless as the Senate Republican as 4 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: the Senate Majority leader. Republican senator has not done what 5 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: Trump has needed him to get done. To accomplish what 6 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: needs to be accomplished to put Republican judges on the bench, Well, 7 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: it looks like there is now going to be a 8 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: rules change so that they can expedite the judges. I 9 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: think we have about one hundred waiting to be confirmed 10 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: so they can take their seats on these benches. Get 11 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: these activist judges out of the way, and better judges 12 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: on our bench, because that is as you've seen. The 13 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: backstop the judiciary is important and the way the process works, 14 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: we need to use it while we have our majority. 15 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: We don't know that we'll have a Senate majority come 16 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: January of twenty seven. I hope we do, but you 17 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: better get everything you needed to get done because once 18 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: the Democrats are in power, they're not going to let 19 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: you get anything through nothing. The THCHC band that was 20 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: stupid that Dan Patrick was pushing has failed, and the 21 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Legislature's second special session has ended. Two friends of mine 22 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: are going to open a marijuana dispensary. It's say it's 23 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: going to be a joint venture. Ramon, If you know, 24 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: one spelling mistake can ruin your marriage. A buddy texted 25 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: his wife, I'm having a great time. I wish you 26 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: were her. Hg R. 27 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: I do that again. 28 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: That's another question. 29 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 3: All right, here we go. 30 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: You know, Ramone, one spelling mistake can ruin your marriage. 31 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: Buddy of mine accidentally texted his wife, I'm having a 32 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: great time. I wish you were her. Guy said to 33 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: a friend of mine, your wife and daughter look like twins, 34 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: and my buddy said, well, they were separated at birth. 35 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: Something you probably didn't know, Ramon. Why do banks in 36 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: Prague have trampolines in the lobby because the checks always bounce? 37 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: So about Ace Hardware yesterday, one of our show sponsors 38 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: and the experience of going in there versus a Walmart, 39 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: and a woman named Michelle Carmona wrote the Ace Hardware 40 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: in Jersey Village has a ladies' night and you get 41 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: discounts on products, and there's wine and beer available. While 42 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: shopping Ace made me realize that I actually like box wine, 43 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: and I love ace hardware. You know, we're going to 44 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: continue to see something we've been seeing for a long time. 45 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: It's going to be accelerated, and that is Commodities are 46 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: not going to require the common touch. Commodities are going 47 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: to be exchanged in a transactional environment, almost entirely without 48 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: human interaction. Commodities and more and more things are going 49 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: to be commodified. Fewer and fewer things that today we 50 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: would never think of as a commodity. A car wash. 51 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: There was a time you couldn't drive up, drop in 52 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: however much money have it pull up so it's greens. 53 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: It does stop and then it washes your car and 54 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: then dries it. That was the commodification of a service. 55 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 1: Now there are still plenty of nice car washes, hand 56 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: car wash where they go above and be on and 57 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: they you know, the whole deal. You pay for it. 58 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: But if you view that service as a commodity, you're 59 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: not willing to pay for it. You don't want that 60 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: to be a premium service. You want it to be 61 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: a commodity. And it's okay. Some people can look at 62 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: it this way and some people can look at it 63 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: the other. Whatever your thing is is your thing, But increasingly, 64 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: we're going to see the commodific cation of services and 65 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: goods at an accelerated pace, and that's going to be 66 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: frightening for people. 67 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: It is. 68 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: It's also going to be exciting for some people because 69 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: what you're going to witness is when you take human 70 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: beings out of the process, you're going to reduce costs, 71 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: reduce error on a dramatic scale, and you're going to 72 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: be able to ensure greater efficiencies. I've got an article. 73 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: I was going to read it, but I'll read it 74 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: another day. A guy did a review of the robotaxis 75 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: and he compared the Uber product to the Tesla product 76 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: to the I think Google, and they're now testing them 77 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: out in markets, and you know you Tesla has full 78 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: self driving now and they're automobiles. Well, this is the 79 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: same thing but for taxis, and there are different ways 80 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: you do it. 81 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: Uh. 82 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: One of them I think is Weimo has a box 83 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: that pulls up and it looks something like straight out 84 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: of the Jetsons, or it looks like a gondola, you know, 85 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: and the door's open and you step in and it's 86 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: not it's not not built like a car. It's built 87 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: like a gondola that you'd ride up the side of 88 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: the mountain. Tesla has preferred to be less conspicuous and 89 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: make their cars even though these particular cars are manufactured 90 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: solely to be robo taxis, they're never meant to be 91 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: a human being driving. They're full self driving, or that 92 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: it's it's fully automated. They look like a car on 93 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: the side of the road. They don't have what the 94 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: others are doing, which is a lot of the antenna 95 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: and stuff on the top. And the review was about 96 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't want all that stuff. He 97 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: didn't want the world to know he's in one of those. 98 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: He wants it to seem like a regular car that 99 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: you get in, and that's what they're look like. But 100 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: with so we're going to see. I believe transportation become commodified, 101 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: particularly transportation that used to be the old fashioned taxi 102 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: and you know, there would be a yellow taxi in town, 103 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: you'd call and it would take forever. In this show, 104 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: and it was a tear it was. It was an 105 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: amazing service when it came out, and over time we 106 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: grew frustrated with it because there were inefficiencies because there 107 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: was no competition and then in time that's going to 108 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: be a commodity where you can still pay because you 109 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: like your limo driver because when he arrives, he comes in, 110 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: takes your bags and puts him in the back, or 111 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: takes a different route, or whatever your reason. You like 112 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: your guy. But for many people that will just be 113 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: a commodity. If I'm not driving, I'm hopping in the 114 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: back of there, and it costs me less money than 115 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: it would have because they don't have a driver now, 116 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: and the driver can't harass me and I can't harass him, 117 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: and he can't show up late or drunk, or be 118 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: texting or all the other number of things that caused problems. 119 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: So you're going to see the commodification of more and 120 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: more things, and that's going to leave businesses with as 121 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: more and more businesses going away, those businesses that are 122 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: going to thrive are going to create experiences like that, 123 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: a ladies' night to have wine at the ace harder. 124 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: That's what businesses should be looking at because your service 125 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: can very likely be commodified. You've got to add value 126 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: in the human connection that Out of Hell his first 127 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: of the trilogy that sold nine million albums. I'm the 128 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: best selling of all time. All right, fine, I just 129 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: look check still sells over two hundred thousand per year. 130 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Who's still buying albums? What I want to know? That's crazy? 131 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: All right? I love this story. A five year old 132 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: boy in Jacksonville, Florida, wakes up before his fan sneaks 133 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: out to Chick fil A for breakfast. The popo have 134 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: released bodycam video of their encounter with the boy, which 135 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: goes viral. He's five years old and he's snuck out 136 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: of the house and he goes to the Chick fil A, 137 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: little white kid, here's the story. 138 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: Some kids sneak candy or cookies, but one Florida five 139 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 4: year old had bigger dreams. As we walked in, we 140 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: see a little kid sitting at the table eating his 141 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 4: breakfast with one of the managers. Police in Jacksonville sharing 142 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: the story of William who snuck away from home one 143 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: morning to grab breakfast at his local Chick fil A 144 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: as his parents were sleeping. Little Williams slipped through the 145 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: front gate of the house and walked barefoot to the restaurant, 146 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 4: where he was greeted by staff and was treated to 147 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 4: a breakfast sandwich. 148 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: I have children, and you know the first thing, you know, 149 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: you get that not in your stomach because you know 150 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: somebody else who's a parent is missing their child. 151 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 4: Are you going to show us where you live? 152 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 153 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: Okay, so thank you California. 154 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 4: With the full belly and a new stuffed animal, William 155 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 4: realized he was probably in trouble. I welcome to the 156 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 4: back of my patrol card. No, I'm not going to 157 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 4: put you in jail. Well, not that much trouble. William 158 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: was able to lead the officers back to his house, 159 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 4: where he was reunited with his very stunned parents. No, 160 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 4: we haven't in our police card. 161 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: It's kind of scary actually, because we didn't realize what 162 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: was going on until after we came out. 163 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 4: Lucky for William, his parents recognized that he understood the 164 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 4: seriousness of what he had done. 165 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: I think it did shake him up some, so I 166 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: don't think we really needed to impress too much that 167 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: you shouldn't do it again. 168 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 4: Weeks later, William and those officers returned to that Chick 169 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 4: fil A, but this time his parents were with him, 170 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: and William was the one giving out the food. 171 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: Well, thank you, buddy, I appreciate it. 172 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 4: Now, please say this is a good reminder to teach 173 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 4: your kids their home address and phone number. 174 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, because at any moment they might slip out at 175 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: five o'clock in the morning and go to the chick 176 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: fil A. There's something precious in the innocence of a 177 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: child's mind and the intensity of focus. You know, he 178 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: might have set up all night. He might have decided 179 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: the evening before. There's more to the story. I guarantee you, mama, 180 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: we got chick fil a. Chick fil A. It's eight o'clock, William, 181 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: What do you already had dinner chick fil A? No, 182 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: we're not. No, we're not doing chick fil a. We're 183 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: not doing chick fil a? Was he asking in there? 184 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: Your son wants chick fil A? It's eight thirty, William. 185 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: Go to bed and he probably laid there all night, 186 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: probably tossed and turned if he did fall asleep, and 187 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: the time came, probably can't tell tell time, you know, 188 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: I bet that was when the sun was starting to 189 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: come up. He said, aw, it's time for chick fil 190 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: A and need some chick fil A. And you gotta 191 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: wonder in his mind it made sense. You know, that's 192 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: the important thing to understand when you see somebody that 193 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: does something crazy that in their mind that made sense. 194 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: So you gotta wonder, was he just you know, he's 195 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: been in the chick fil A before. He just gonna 196 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: go over eat his Chick fil A, come home, crawl 197 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: back into beds. Mom comes in, William. Time to get up? 198 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: Oh so sleep much? Could enough? Yep? Time to get up? 199 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: You went, Now you want to go chick fil A 200 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: for breakfast? No, I'm good. I've decided I don't need 201 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: chick fil A just yet. Man, all's well. That ends well, 202 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: But that could have turned real, real south, real fast. 203 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: We were talking about the crazy things that kids do. 204 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to talk about my kids on the air. 205 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: They don't not that kind of stuff. They don't like 206 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: what I do, so I had to respect that. But 207 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: I would love to hear your story if you've got 208 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: a something you did as a little kid, or something 209 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: your kids did. The hilarious thing is when it turns 210 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: out okay, and then you get to find out what 211 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: in the world that kid was thinking and how that 212 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: made sense to that kid, And that is what is 213 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: so scary. And not to turn this serious, but as 214 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: crazy as that idea was of that kid, barefoot walking 215 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: to the check fil a five o'clock, no money in 216 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: his pocket. Imagine if that kid the next morning says, hey, mommy, 217 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to have a wiener. I want to 218 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: be a girl.

Yeah, 223 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: because you're already five, you're a grown man in the weather. 224 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: I want to cut off my wiener. Olympics, you're a 225 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: seasoned veteran, You're Carl Lewis nineteen ninety two kind of 226 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: stuff at that point.

I was due to do all my mail stuff. 232 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: I was due for my testosterone shot. But let me 233 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: tell you whether you use Synergenics, which bought low T Center, 234 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: which where I had gone for years now, I moved 235 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: to now and moved to Cyentergenics. I liked Cyentergenics more, 236 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: but they're both great. It's both the same company fellas 237 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: and women as well. But I understand male health a 238 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: lot better. Get your levels checked. What I love going 239 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: in every week is I get my BP check. I 240 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: do my blood panels often. I check all the things 241 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: that are important in my life. And I don't care 242 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: where you do it, how you get it done, please, 243 00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: And you. 244 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: Know duncan means you, y'all. 245 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: Ramon knows how to push my buttons. I told him 246 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: a story yesterday which I shouldn't have told him, and 247 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: so during the break, he said, oh, so you went 248 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: to Syenergenics. Did anything else happen while you were there? 249 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: I said, no, what are you talking about? He goes, 250 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: I think something else happened? And I said and he 251 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: so he reminded me of what happened. He said, are 252 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: you not going to tell that story? I said, hell on, 253 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: am I going to tell that story? Are you an 254 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: idiot that doesn't win me any favor, that does not 255 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: improve the brand, does not make anybody like me more? 256 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: He said, well, you know you always say that you know, 257 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: people need to be honest, they need to call up, 258 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: they need to be honest and lay it out there, 259 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: because even if it makes you look weak or embarrasses 260 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: you or something you don't want people to know, there 261 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: is strength and honesty in the fact people will respect 262 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: you for having been honest. And so I will tell 263 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: what happened, and then we'll take your calls. But I 264 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: don't want to and I don't want to hear anybod 265 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear from anybody about it, and 266 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I'll block you if you bring it up later. So 267 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: I was going to a new location of Synergenic yesterday 268 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: to get my testosterone shot, and I thought, well, I'll 269 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: do a complete blood panel while i'm there, because I'm 270 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: a big believer that blood can expose problems. And then 271 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: it's always good to check your liver numbers and all 272 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, A one c's and everything else. 273 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: So I do. And there's a real cute Asian girl 274 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: that runs the place. She's the clinic director named Michelle, 275 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: so they've got her on high alert, and they've got 276 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: their regional director named Jeff John and he's there, and 277 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: then they've got the technician girls who give you your shot, 278 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: draw your blood, and all that sort of stuff. So 279 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: I go in and the the clinic director Michelle, and 280 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: then the regional director Jeff John. They're there to talk about, 281 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, how this clinic is doing and what we 282 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: do a lot of and what kind of tests we 283 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: offer here and these sorts of things. Okay, good because 284 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: I want I want to learn while I'm there. But 285 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the girls that are seeing me, the technicians, it's these 286 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: young Hispanic girls who would not probably normally be nervous, 287 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: but they don't know who I am. But they've been 288 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: told by Wayne Wilson. You can tell the head of 289 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: the thing, Hey, this guy's coming in. I want to 290 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: have a good experience, high alert, laugh as jokes kind 291 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: of thing. And so they're a little bit nervous, you 292 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: can tell. So I go in and at one point 293 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to give blood, but I thought I thought 294 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: I was gonna take my shot. I know we're going 295 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: to give the blood, right then, so I stand up 296 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: and drop trial. But you know I'm used to it, right, 297 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: you do it every week, and you don't drop trail 298 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: on the front, you drop trial on the back. So 299 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: and I got decent butt cheeks bad or hairy butt 300 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: cheeks or pimple butt cheeks. You know, if you're gonna 301 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: show your butt cheeks as a man, I don't know 302 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: what other men's butt cheeks look like. I mean, I've 303 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: seen movies Ted Tom Cruise's Butt's always show him. But 304 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: I feel like I got a decent butt. You know, 305 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: I have to be ashamed of my butt. It's not 306 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: sagging or anything like that. It's not great, you know 307 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: what I mean. I couldn't be a button model, but 308 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: it's not a bad butt. So I dropped trow and 309 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: she says, oh, no, we'll do the blood first because 310 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: otherwise testosteron will affect the blood. And I said, oh, 311 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, So pull my pants up. And I'm thinking, okay, 312 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: that's funny to older people, but young people, that's because 313 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm just like here, you know, I turn away because 314 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: I don't like to see the needle here my butt. 315 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: Give me the shot and move on. And she goes oh, 316 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: and I said, oh, so pull my pants up, which 317 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: to me is funny, but eh, you know, my stupids 318 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: into humor. So we do the blood thing and we 319 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: do the butt things. So we've had an intimate relationship 320 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: by this time. I mean it's a medical relationship, but 321 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, you've been through a lot. You stuck needles 322 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: in me, and we took a lot of blood because 323 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: I do the entire panel, so you know, she's in 324 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: me for a while. And I'm luckily, I'm blessed with 325 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: good veins. So my poor mother had I don't think 326 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: she had veins, and they would have to poke around 327 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: on her forever and they couldn't get in her forever, 328 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: and it would I hated it. It always bothered me 329 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: so much because it would cause her so much anxiety 330 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: and stress and all that. But luckily I got good 331 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: old fashioned American veins. So we do all that, and 332 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: then we go into the next room and they're gonna 333 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: do something called an A and S, which is like 334 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: a nerve system test, and they put all these stickers 335 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: on it you'd like to do at the hospital, and 336 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: then it checks all these different things, your blood pressure, 337 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: you're you're this, you're this, and they do it from 338 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: head to toe and then they get a lot of 339 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: readings out of that, and it's called the an S. 340 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: But these young ladies who work there are first generation 341 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: Hispanic women, they grew up here, but they got kind 342 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: of a slight Chikino accent. So they're telling they're telling 343 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: each one, we're gonna put in room two for the 344 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: a ands anus anus. And about the fifth time they 345 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: said it, I'm giggling, and she said, oh what happened? 346 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: And oh no, never mind, asked that's funny to me, right, 347 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm unafraid to laugh. I'm not. You know, 348 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: That's how I get through life. So anyway, we go 349 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: in there. I lay down in the first one you do. 350 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: You're laying down, they do all the stuff, and they 351 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: send the charges through your body and all this. Well, 352 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: if you're wearing lotion on the bottom of your foot, 353 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: the sensor can't get a good reading, so it won't 354 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: read out. So it's not reading out. And I can 355 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: tell she's growing increasingly nervous because she's going to have 356 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: to tell the clinic director I couldn't get a reading, 357 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: you know, I couldn't. I couldn't do what I was 358 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: supposed to do for him, And so she's putting all 359 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: this pressure on myself. I said, sweetheart, don't worry, it's fine. 360 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. And look, if we don't get 361 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: a reading. We won't get a read. I'm not going 362 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: to die today, so she can't get a reading. She said, 363 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: do you have any metal in you? And I said, well, 364 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: I do have a I have a heart monitor that 365 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: was put in August of twenty sixteen, and it will 366 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: set stuff off. And so why would that affect it? 367 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: And she said, yeah, that can somehow, somehow that will 368 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: cause sometimes that'll do this in And she said, let 369 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: me shut everything down and start over. She READID all 370 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: the things, poor things. She's nervous, she can be. And 371 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: I said, hey, hey, don't worry. You have done nothing wrong. 372 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: This is on me. It's fine, don't worry. And I 373 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: can tell she's really nervous. So finally we get the reading. 374 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: We got the reading. No, we don't know what the 375 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: reading is. They send it to the lab. Synergenics did 376 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: something genius. They invested in vertical integration start to finish, 377 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: which as a consumer, a lot of my friends pay cash. 378 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: They don't. They don't use your insurance if you're under 379 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: three point fifty in your testosterone reading, which if you're 380 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: over fifty, most guys are going to be. If you're 381 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: under three point fifty. Most insurance, I know, Blue Cross, 382 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: Blue Shield will pay for it to get you up 383 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: because the health benefits of having testosterone up to a 384 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: certain level decreases hardly. There's a lot of things that 385 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: it helps, but a lot of guys pay cash and 386 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: they don't want to have to fool with all that, 387 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: or they don't have an insurance that will cover that. 388 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: So anyway, so we do the whole thing, and then 389 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna do the last one and I have to 390 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: do a breathing test, and so I'm really relaxed, and 391 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: I'm trying to relax her because she's so nervous and 392 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: so so she says, just relax, sweethearted. I'm relaxed. You're 393 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: not relaxed. I take a deep breath and then I 394 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: blow out. And she said, I need you to blow out. 395 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: And then you hold on to this meter and you're 396 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: checking your lung capacity. I want you to blow as 397 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: hard as you can, and I did. I don't I 398 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: think it's funny. I don't laugh. Poor things. She's sitting 399 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: there and she's more embarrassed than I am. Can you imagine, 400 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: bless what happened? Are you happy now? I mean it 401 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: was one of those where when she realizes your farting, 402 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: you're still farting after she realized your farting. So I 403 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: called him moment after I left Syenergenics and I said, hey, 404 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: here's what happened and the poor girl. The funny thing 405 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: is I am in constant pursuit of a laugh. I 406 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: think it's a good life lesson. I mean, it's better 407 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: for my stress level. I think it's a happier. 408 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: Way to live. 409 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: But I told him on the story and I said, 410 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: you know, the worst part about it is I thought 411 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: it was funny, although I didn't laugh. The reason I 412 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: didn't laugh is I don't want to make her feel awkward. 413 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,239 Speaker 1: I said, I felt so sorry for this girl. She 414 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: was so sweet and she was doing her best to 415 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: just get me in and get me out and not 416 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: mess up, you know, her jobs on the line. And 417 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: I was so conscious of that. And I said I 418 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: felt so horrible for her that it had to be 419 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: awkward for her. And he goes, well, maybe she didn't 420 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: hear it, and I said, no, no, no, she heard it. 421 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: It was one of those that you know, there's the bubble, 422 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: pop the pop, and like hey wait wait wait, and 423 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: you had asked, my shoe and you rub your shoe 424 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: against you know, No, it's my shoes. Here's my shoe, 425 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: my shoe, screek, my shoe street or if the chair creaks, 426 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, when you get up and get you No, no, 427 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: it was a chair. It was a chair, and sometimes 428 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: it was the chair. But that's just a little This 429 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: wasn't a this, I said, no, Ramon, Oh, it's last night. 430 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: Actually I called him. I have to. I call him 431 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: late because I have to tell him the story before 432 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: I forget it. And he might have hit a bourbon 433 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: or two. So he's in a gigly mood, so he said, 434 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: so he's trying to make me feel better. He goes, well, 435 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: maybe she didn't hear it, and I said, no, she 436 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: one hundred percent heard it. And you know how I 437 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: know because there's those that are that little noise that, oh, 438 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: maybe was that a rat something go off? The dog bark? 439 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: What happened? That's fine, that's a that's a one shotter, right, 440 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: But this is one of those where she first would 441 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: have known I farted, and by the time she has 442 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: full recognition that I farted, it's still going right. It's 443 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: it's long enough that it's like there's no doubt in now. 444 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: So there I am sitting there. I like to think 445 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm a master of putting people at ease when I 446 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: want to anyway, and connecting with people. But I'm debating 447 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: in my mind. Do I make a joke about it 448 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: so she doesn't have to feel bad, or would that 449 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: make it more awkward for her because she don't want 450 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: to laugh too much? Or she'll want to go Yeah, 451 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: I was about to say, and the whole way home, 452 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: I'm laughing until I'm not. And that was the moment 453 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: when I realized, you remember when we were young in 454 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: high school and mister Jones or mister Prows or mister Smith, 455 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: we'll be up or coach Coach Peevetoy will be up 456 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: in front of the classroom and that bend over to 457 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: pick up the rations, and you'd laugh because that's what 458 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: old people did. And I realized that didn't happen to 459 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: me before fifty four. Maybe this is just a long 460 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: run for the rest of my life. Maybe maybe this 461 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: was the moment. If I made seventy someone said, when 462 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: did you realize you ruled? Well, sit down here, grasshopper. 463 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: So I went to Synergenics I needed testostero and I 464 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: was having a vull. And that was the story of 465 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: the girl named Emily. Not my Emily. It's a different Emily. 466 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: That poor girl. She probably went home mortified. Oh all right, 467 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: be quick, you got about forty five seconds first story. 468 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: So let's go up from the bottom. Let's start, sorry, 469 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: let's start with Floyd. Floyd, what's your kid's story? 470 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 3: Go My brother, when he was about five years old, 471 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 3: he decided he wanted to make get some papers, so 472 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 3: he went through the neighborhood and took everybody's mail. And 473 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: later my mom found that stack of mail and she 474 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 3: yelled and screamed to him, told him that she's what 475 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 3: the police are going to come and get him. Well, 476 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 3: a couple of days later, our neighbor comes over. He's 477 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: about to go on vacation and his brother's going to 478 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 3: watch his house. He just wanted to introduce his brother. Well, 479 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 3: his brother was a Dallas PD officer and he was 480 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: in uniform.

I got two 486 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: All star soccer players fifteen and thirteen playing soccer. So 487 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: my son, I I'm carpool dad that day as best friends. 488 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 2: Are these three black kids, and there's one but you 489 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: would say a hispanic in the car. I got five 490 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 2: kids in the car. All sudden, I hear a whisper 491 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: and the boys, the black boys, look at my son 492 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 2: and he says, who's white or they're happy and the 493 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: knees actually, and so he's like, hey, witch, that's what 494 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: you're one of us. You can use the N word. 495 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: And I just was like, wait, just prefety to comb down. 496 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: I just said, okay, So my son and I drive 497 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: back home together and I said, Son, that is not 498 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: something you're gonna do. 499 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: So you know, I will tell you this is a 500 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: subject for multiple segments one day, and I will do it. 501 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: The use of the inward by kids is one hundred 502 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: times more than it ever was when I was growing up, 503 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: when people were supposedly so racist and before the use 504 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: of the inward at private schools among rich kids is 505 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: so much higher than you ever would have imagined. And 506 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: it is not because they hate black people. It's because 507 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: that's the naughty thing to do, in the way that 508 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: kids my age would go out back and smoke a 509 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: cigarette behind the gym. It's it's a thing, and it's 510 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: very awkward for my kids because they want permission to 511 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: use it in front of them and to explain I'm 512 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: not talking about you, which puts my kids in a 513 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: weird situation of well, why would you think I would 514 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: think you did? Why are you wait? Why aren't you 515 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: wanting to use the word. Why are we having the 516 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: conversation forget offending me? Why are you using a word 517 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: whose whole purpose is to be loaded like this? Well, 518 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: that's just it, right. Tell them what drug they can't do, 519 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: and that's what they want to do. Tell them what 520 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: word they can't say, and that's what they want to say. 521 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: But I will tell you that word is used more 522 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: today than it ever was before it became taboo. And 523 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: that is the absolute truth. I'll tell you that for sure. 524 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 1: I will tell you that for sure. I got an 525 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: email from a fellow named Michael Says, summer of seventy six, 526 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: I was fifteen. I used to drive myself in the 527 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: family's car to the driver's ed summer school class so 528 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: I could get my driver's license. I went for almost 529 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: three weeks before and one of my neighbors ratted me out. 530 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: You know, growing up out in the country, you get 531 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: your hardship at fourteen, and there were a lot of 532 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: kids that had a hardship at fourteen. You were driving 533 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: at fourteen years old. But even if you didn't have 534 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: a license. I mean, we'd be up at the store 535 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: three miles away now it's a little country store out 536 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: and then up by a store, I mean like a 537 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: wood shop that had been converted to sell beer and 538 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: coke and candy bars. But my mom would let me 539 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: drive home, and it wasn't even like we were doing 540 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: anything bad. That's just what you did when we had 541 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: a place out in car Meen. We would be out 542 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: in the country and I'd let my kids drive ten 543 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: eleven years old. I'd be right there beside them when 544 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: they were younger to be on my lap. And I 545 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: know that drives some people crazy. I think it's a 546 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: simpler time and a better time. You're not seeing kids 547 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: like that getting an accident. Mom or dad is there 548 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 1: with them. This whole idea well, anyway, I'll spend too 549 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: much time fending off the inevitable argument that I know 550 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: is coming. I shouldn't waste my time. Sounds like a 551 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: plug for my sponsor's but it's not. Get yourself a 552 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: good CPA if you don't have one. I've got a 553 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: good CPA firm. Not individuals, but for mid size and 554 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: high net worth individuals. Get yourself a retirement planner, wealth manager. 555 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: Get yourself a place to get yourself a good family practitioner.
