1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's spilled Courtney with an army of normal folks.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: And we continue now with part two of our conversation

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: with big Al Haldron. Right after these brief messages from

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: our Jenner sponsors, somebody had an elephant from a circus

5
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to drag stuff in Joplin.

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: While we were there in the church parking lot. There

7
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 2: was a circus that was coming into town and they

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: were going to be performing on that Friday night. And the

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: tornado hits whatever a few days prior to the arena's gone,

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: and the town. Who's going to a circus? You're trying

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: to You're looking for Fluffy because it's your dog's running around, right,

12
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: So the circus people came over to the church and

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: they and circus people are in interesting and there's a

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: whole other out holding story.

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everybody listening knows that circus people are interesting.

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: They're very interesting. They're an interesting lot.

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: Parney's roadies, all of it. Yeah, they were very gips

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: and all kinds of things. I supposed to say. This

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: song about probably is a song about that, And I

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: think what I just said is probably politically incorrect, but oh.

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: Well, oh well, it's me and you right, yeah, that's right.

22
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: So about ninety five thousand other people listening.

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: But it's okay, yeah, that's all right, that's.

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,279
Speaker 1: Maybe one hundred thousand. So tell the story, okay.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Now that I'm scared. So the circus came and said,

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: because there was a lot of kids and everybody was

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: in line all that, and they said, can we perform

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: in the parking lot? We just like to entertain some

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 2: of the kids. So they brought out they were and said, also,

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: we're not able to make any money. We got to

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: we got to pay some of the bills. Could we

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: give camel rides in the parking lot? So they set

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: their camel ride up in the parking lot and for

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: two dollars, they'd throw three or four kids on that

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: and they'd give camel ride in the parking lot. Made

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: a fortune made, of course, the kids were riding the camel.

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: The jugglers are out there juggling and doing all that. Well,

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: they ended up we got clear from that where we

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: were at at the church. When you just say it

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: was on like the southeast side of the of the

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: area that was affected. If you go on the northwest side,

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: they were out there and they had a problem they had.

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 2: There was a big ravine, huge ravine, and however would

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: the tornado come in? It just thinks, I mean, you

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: just remember this thing. This was an F five. It

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: was on the ground for twenty two miles and it

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: only moved at a couple miles an hour, which are

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: the dangerous ones because it's a grinder. It's just a grinder.

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: It's barely moving hardly at all, and so it just

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: grinds everything up and then just pukes it up. You know,

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: two houses down whatever it Brent picked up here, it grinds,

52
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: it pukes it when it gets too heavy, and it

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: just grinds trees, cars, flipping them up, carrying trees and

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: just nuts. So it's throwing all these all the heavy

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: stuff when it come over top that ravine, everything that

56
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: it's pulling, the big heavy stuff dropped it in the ravine,

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: which is like thirty cars and trucks. So at the

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: bottom of this ravine it's like a just a jungle

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 2: mess of cars. They've got to get him out of

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: there because there's gas and oil and they're afraid of

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: polluting the river that was down there and the revine.

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: Every I didn't ask, but probably was probably was one

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: hundred and I think we looked at one hundred and

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: fifty eight people killed. I would say, yes. So we

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: get over there, and the problem was the ravine was

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: so it was so steep. They would put a guy, uh,

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: they'd put a mountaineering guy, rescue guy on the cable

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: and then the truck would just start letting the cable

69
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: out and he'd let the cable the guy down the ravine.

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: He'd hook the cable on down there, get out of

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: the way, and they would drag a truck up. Well,

72
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: they didn't bring a big enough wreckord. Wow, and then

73
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: almost flipped the big it was a big record, but

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: it was they needed the big semi records, which you've

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: you know with your other business. Probably sometimes they needed

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: one of those, and it needed to be farther away

77
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: and it needed to be tethered to something because then

78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: they start pulling it up up it was it was

79
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: about ready to flip it over into the ravine. So

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: they stopped stop that, they let it back down. Well,

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: elephants during the brother they used to set up circus

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: tants with elephants. They have these huge, huge leather harnesses

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: they put on them and then they would just take

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: that elephant and they would hook a cable on the

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: back and they would they have they have a skid

86
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: plate on those big tip poles, and they put the

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: big out and they would hook and it had a

88
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: ring on the bottom of it. They hook onto that

89
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: and the elephant just walks away and it just skid

90
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: plates and as that thing comes up, the tip goes up.

91
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: So the guy was like, eh, we'd pull those out.

92
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: He had elephant can pull x amount of pounds. So

93
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: they just put the guy put a huge cable on

94
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: the back of that elephant and let the elephant backed

95
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: up and let the guy down hooked on. The elephant

96
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: just went you take a watermelon and you walk in

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: front of him and the elephant will just follow the watermelon.

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: He walked over and all said, we look, becomes a

99
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: car flipping over the thing.

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: Crazy.

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: And they did that all for promotion stuff. So Alex,

102
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: you get some and so he was like, he said,

103
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: we can't do that many of them, but let's let's

104
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: get the ones out that you need off the top.

105
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: Because once they got some of them out of that

106
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: that were really nestled in there, then they did that.

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden. So we sat there and

108
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: watched them pull two or three over and then he

109
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: put the elephant back in the truck and they went on.

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: So just just crazy, you know that. It's just crazy

111
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, you know, with that and build the

112
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: things that we saw. The house was completely gone except

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: every I mean it was. It was just a concrete

114
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 2: slab next to the hospital that had the million dollar

115
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: helicopter laying upside down. They couldn't get it out of

116
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: there when they saw it was too late coming in.

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: They couldn't fly fly off, had to leave it. It was

118
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: on top of the helicopter, on the helipa on the

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: hospital and the helipad, and it just flipped it off

120
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: and landed it down almost on the road. The house

121
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: right next to it, the pad was completely cleaned off

122
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: except three bowling balls in a triangle right where they

123
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: were in the closet. Never moved them.

124
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: You're kidding me.

125
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the heck wouldn't I believe this? And

126
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: one of the guys at the church said, did you

127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: see the three bowling balls? I said, well, we saw

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: a house. He goes right, yeah, left of the hospital

129
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: with the three bowling balls. He goes, nobody will move them.

130
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: It's there all. It's this crazy, superstitious thing. There's something

131
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: about those three. Never rolled them, never moved them. That's

132
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: where they were. The guy went and got him. They

133
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: made him put him back because everybody want to see

134
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: the three bowling balls.

135
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

136
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 2: Across the street from that literally was a nursing home

137
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: and a church. And this church had a It was

138
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: made out of TV antenna, TV tower, you know, triangle trusting,

139
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: huge cross. The church is gone and the cross is

140
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: stand in The nursing home is gone. When I mean gone,

141
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: it looks like it was never there, just a slab.

142
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: It just wiped them clean off it and that TV

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: tower and they have no idea and the TV tower

144
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: and the cross was still standing. That's not a god thing.

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what is bill?

146
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: All right? So that was the Joplin experience. Yeah, and

147
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: after that you thought, well we kind of figured out

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: how this works, yep, And so you created your own

149
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: big al Munsey response team. What was the next one.

150
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: The next one was actually in Indiana. Went to drive

151
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: very far for this one thing. Yeah, it was in Henryville,

152
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: and we ended up down in Saliarsville. Henryville's down southern Indiana,

153
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: south of Columbus, southern part of the state, between Columbus

154
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: and the Louisville off right off. It sets right on

155
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: Highway sixty five. We came through it on the way down.

156
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: On the way down here, we got to Henryville and

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: they didn't need us. They had it was a it's

158
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: a really little tail, it's a really really little town.

159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: They really didn't need it. So they sent us on

160
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: to Saliersville, Kentucky, and it's same tornadoes, same tornado spots.

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: It came through Henryville, came across going east west to east,

162
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: came through Henryville, absolutely just destroyed. It hit the high school.

163
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: They had just gotten out of school. They thank goodness.

164
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: They released the kids early, had a school bus and

165
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: a hair salon setting upside down. The town just got

166
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: squished pretty bad. But while we got there, there was

167
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: some local barbecue guys and some people seven, so they

168
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: had plenty of food. But they got to Salarsville, this

169
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 2: thing then it started jumping, and a lot of hills

170
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: and hollers and it was jumping over these ravines. But

171
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: it got down into Saliersville and just in these ravines

172
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: and it didn't move. It moved again real slow, and

173
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: it just was crushing. The houses were a little more random.

174
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: You had to drive back to places, and I just

175
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: have to say it was a little tougher there. You

176
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: didn't want to sneak up on some of these guys

177
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: because we saw some shotguns and I'm like, hey.

178
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: Worried about loaders.

179
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: I think they just carry them with them all the time.

180
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: It was and I had and this time I've got

181
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: my oldest daughter with me. Katie was with me and

182
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: both of my girls have gone on one one trip

183
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: with me. So it was again Bob Ball and Rocky,

184
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: you know, the King of Barbecue, We're with us. It

185
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: a small group. Tony Raleigh, my buddy that was that

186
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: had got killed in the car wreck, and Katie. We

187
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: were all in one vehicle and Bob and Rocky were

188
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: in another one. So we got Sagersville and there was

189
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: no place to set up because we try to get someplace.

190
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: We need some water, we need a garden hose, we

191
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: can just clean things, electricity if we can find it.

192
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: So on the outskirts of town there's a funeral home.

193
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: He said, well, we're good, but he said, we got

194
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: a funeral in three days for the eight people that

195
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: were killed in town. Several children, several kids. He said,

196
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: we have a huge funeral here. You can be here,

197
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: and I've got it and I'll provide it to you

198
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: and I'll give you some money. And and again happened again.

199
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: Grocery store just down the street. Colors are temping down. Well,

200
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: I go down, I thought. Tony's like, rinse and repeat,

201
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: let's go do it. We bought every We bought all

202
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: their meat. They didn't have as much. What they had

203
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: was probably five hundred Totino's pizzas. And I'm not talking

204
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: big ones. I'm talking you know, the little midsize going

205
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: on decent sized microwave you could go and she he's like,

206
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: you guys, got any interested in a Totino's pizza. I'm like,

207
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: are they in the freezer? And he goes yeah. I

208
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: said how much? He said, oh, quarter apiece. I gotta

209
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: get rid of him, because I'm woman to do with

210
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: all of them. I said, well take them all. So

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: I throw all those puppies in the truck and bring

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: back to them and they're like rock. He's like, oh man,

213
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: you're down there, I knew you were going to that

214
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: grocery store. I knew you went and cut that deal.

215
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: I said, I got you sport. But I said, what's

216
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: a Totina pizza on a smoker? Dude? He said, I

217
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: don't know, but we're going to find out. And that

218
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: has become a thing.

219
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Smoked pizza awesome.

220
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: And if you don't believe me, go buy. You got

221
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: to buy the cheap stuff. Don't buy good ones. You

222
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: buy the cheap Tatina's, throw them on a smoker. So

223
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: all these barbecue guys, you really think.

224
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Alex, I don't think to Tina's is ever now going

225
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: to be a sponsor of the show.

226
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, there by the cheap ones, Well we do.

227
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: Totinas will now become a sponsor of the show, because

228
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: they should, because they should do that.

229
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: And they should make a pizza called the Twister.

230
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 2: Absolutely, the Big Rocky.

231
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Big Big Rocky. It was lacking, could be

232
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: sausage twister, could be pepperoni.

233
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: And what I should say have said was inexpensive because

234
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: we only paid a quarter apiece for him, and we

235
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: and those things and the kids and the line. Once

236
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: the word got out, they were.

237
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Like these people are smoking pizza.

238
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable at the funeral home, at the funeral

239
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: home for Good and it ran down and I don't

240
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: know how long. That line was several hundred people for hours,

241
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: and they were burning taking those pizzas off, and Rocky

242
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: was throwing a little extra parmesan on them and throw

243
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: a little barbecue on him. And and they're quick. I

244
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: mean he's making them, he's pulling them off as fast

245
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: as they can, and they're just cutting them into force,

246
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: throwing them on a plate. Went crazy.

247
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.

248
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: The state police had set up a station they always have,

249
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: they always build it, put up a couple of tents

250
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: on the remote because they're going out on calls and

251
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: gas calls and people looters and all that kind of stuff. Well,

252
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: those guys came down, they saw, they came. We got

253
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: in there and got set up late that evening, came in.

254
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: We had ribs with us, and so I'd always bring

255
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: in some stuff that we want to eat because Rocky

256
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: makes what he calls the pork Trinity. It's pork wrapped

257
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: and pork wrapped in pork, so it's on Dee's sausage

258
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: and he butterflies a tenderloin, puts on dewey sausage in

259
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: it and then wraps it with thick apple wood smoke

260
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: bacon wraps it and then we cut it. When you

261
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: once it's all done, slow cooks that puppy for many

262
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: how many hours and it's it's submersed in apple cider vinegar. Okay,

263
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: pull that out, cook it and so we have when

264
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: you slice, it looks like a car tire.

265
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: So it's like a.

266
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: Hub with all baby sausage. Just putting on a bun,

267
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: put in a sandwich, one of the greatest things delivery.

268
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: Just dip it and barbecue sauce and have at it. Well,

269
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: those guys heard about that. They actually came by and

270
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: so we gave one of the the head. He was

271
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: the head of the northern Northern Kentucky. He's head with

272
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: the entire state police for the northern half of Kentucky.

273
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: He came down, he took a couple of them and

274
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: these guys and all of a sudden, here comes all

275
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: these cop cars. They're just coming in. I mean, the

276
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: boys were coming in. He's like, he's like, you got

277
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: you one of those things. Rocky said, well, yeah, I've

278
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: got a feeder pet war like that. Just feed those guys, Rocky,

279
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: I said, I'm going to get mileage out of them.

280
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: Next two days, I could get anywhere. Police escort are

281
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: where I went coming because there's traffic jam. It's the

282
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: only one little road in now. I just you get

283
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: in behind him. They just take you right down the middle.

284
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: At sixty miles an hour. I could get any We

285
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: had to get gas and get places. If not, we'd

286
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: be there all day. So they got down the stairs.

287
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, they've picked their tent up and

288
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: moved and moved to the funeral home parking lot because

289
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: they were doing police escort the next day for the

290
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: funeral also, but they moved in. He's like, why should

291
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: we go away from the food. We've been trying to

292
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: find food for these guys. I said, we'll feed you.

293
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: So there's thirty twenty thirty State police cop cars a plus.

294
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: We just leave our stuff out. What are you going

295
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: to do steal it? I mean, these guys are arm

296
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: So there's some photographs of us. It was hilarious. So

297
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: the Toyota guys always put magnets, Toyota magnets on their trucks,

298
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: they ay, and we take pr pictures for them. Hey,

299
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: Toyota can solve any problem, even at a tornado, and

300
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: they use it for all their publicity. I told the

301
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: officer and the night we were getting ready to leave, said, hey,

302
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: would you be up for a couple of really cool pictures?

303
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: I said, I want to spoof our general manager. So

304
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: there's a picture of all of the guys and Katie's

305
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: standing there going with her hands like this, and three

306
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: of the officers with hands on their pistols like ready

307
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: to ready to jump us, and we're all on the

308
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: truck like like they're going to search us with that.

309
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,440

349
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: of a sudden they come out and I saw some

350
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: lights come on and then off, and then right beside me,

355
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: you know, we see a lot, we've seen a lot

356
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: of tragedy with it and heard a lot of crazy stories.

357
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: But people, I will tell you, you can make something. Really.

358
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: It's been so positive for my for my with my family,

359
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: with all these things, with my daughter, the lessons and

360
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: the people. She's you know, freshman's sophomore like high school?

361
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: Is that right?

362
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: When Kate went, yeah, that she had. She was going

363
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: up and talking to older people and serving them and

364
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: taking them meals and just listening to them cry and

365
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: parents talk about we've lost everything, we have no insurance.

366
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: What we have left is what we have left, just

367
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: the lessons and the appreciation for what you have is remarkable.

368
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: So again, army of normal Folks is about normal folks

369
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: seeing areas of need and filling it, which is exactly

370
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: what this is not part of anything. Just accept humanity. Yes, sir,

371
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: tell me about the last one that you've been on.

372
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 2: The last one was really was the most recent one,

373
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: most recent one, and actually.

374
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: It's not the last. You're going to keep doing it.

375
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: Us doing it was in as actually up and it

376
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: was an Indian. Again we've been solving Indiana got hit holes.

377
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: Probably about a third of that community, which would have

378
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: been the southern part of the tornado, just came through it,

379
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: jumped and jumped over a cemetery of all things, kind

380
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: of weird, jumped over the cemetery and just took out

381
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: a hilarrea. We did not do a lot there other

382
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: than we really took a load of generators because that's

383
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: what they really needed. A lot. Some of the houses

384
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: were damaged.

385
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: Are you every time calling up people and saying, I'm

386
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: going here, I need money? Yeah, they just just coming

387
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: out with fifteen dollars Facebook. Facebook's a wonderful time. They're

388
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: just rolling out. And then we got a pocketful of money,

389
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: and you're going to spend it where you think it

390
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: needs most, and people trust you with that, and you

391
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: don't come back with any of it.

392
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: That's correct. That's a perfect summary of exactly when this

393
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: time they needed generous we bought.

394
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: I had eight, once again, stopping every home depot and

395
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: those on the way in.

396
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 2: Actually I had a little I had a little bit

397
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: of a couple of days time. I went to twelve

398
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: pawn shops and bought all the generators I could, and

399
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: so and exp because I need a place I can

400
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: wheel and deal that and I don't need new ones.

401
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: They're only going to need them for a week or so.

402
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: So I just got used inner And they're like, now

403
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: every pawn shop thinks that the price of a generator

404
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: should be new, And I said, if I want to

405
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: buy new, I'll just go to Minard's and get a

406
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: brand new one. But I'm wanting to buy yours as

407
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I'll buy them all. So how much.

408
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: Well they're four dollars apiece. I said, oh, you said

409
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five bucks. That'd be great. I'll

410
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: just load them up. And the guy says, well, one

411
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: fifty and I said, well that's great. I guess I

412
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: didn't hear you the first time. Well, so I heard

413
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 2: it the second time. But I want them all started up.

414
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, all those extension cords laying over

415
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: there in that bucket, you're going to throw those in

416
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: two because how many generators have you sold this week?

417
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: And the answer was zero. And Al's going to take

418
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: six of them, put them in the back. And I said,

419
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: and we'll just go in and I said, I want

420
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: them all with full tanks a gay. So we take

421
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: gas can's extension cords. And that's what we were. And

422
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: it was great because when you think about it, was

423
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 2: really interesting. Roger is a gentleman that an older gentleman

424
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: that I am usher with at church. He is an

425
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: extra ordinary human being. He talks exactly one hundred and

426
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: eighty degrees as much as I do. I think Roger

427
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: in the first year, I think.

428
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Chris, what's it like in a room with those

429
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: two guys. Yeah you hear yeah.

430
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 2: I think Roger spoke seven words to me in the

431
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: first year. I assured with him the whole year. Wonderful guy.

432
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 2: He is a working machine. He would be, he would

433
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: he would, he would be. You wouldn't need an extra

434
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: new machine to stack lumber. Roger could stack it as

435
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: fast as that. I mean, unbelievable. He's just just a neat,

436
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: neat guy. And so he was the only one who

437
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: went with me. And so I went and grabbed the

438
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: generators and I said, you want to go? He said absolutely,

439
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: and had never went and done anything like this, just

440
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 2: went with me. He's in and out of the back.

441
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: But we couldn't get into the area, could not get out.

442
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: They had they had.

443
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: It all blocked off, all.

444
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: Cordon off the city. The city guys were blocking off.

445
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: I said, look, I'm in and out. I and I went,

446
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: and so I and I even went this time. I

447
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: did try to go through the which is always a mistake.

448
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: It's always a mistake. Permission is Forgiveness is much easier

449
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: than permission. And so but I came across an assistant

450
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: fire chief that was there from an adjacent that were

451
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: there there staffing one of the fire departments because the

452
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: local fire departments out in that area because they have

453
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: gas fires all the time, and just so these guys

454
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: are man in there. So I ran this young kid.

455
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: I said, I can't get in there, and I got

456
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: these generators. They just want me to drop them off.

457
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 2: I said, I know more than all of you. I've

458
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: been to nine ten of these. I know how it goes.

459
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: These are all going home with the employees that are here.

460
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: They're going to steal them all because that's what they're

461
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 2: going to do. Seeing it done, seeing them load them

462
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,160

483
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: of them are new, you put oil in them. We

484

Speaker 2: But the ten people that we took jenerators to it

487
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: changed their life. Maybe for just a day or two,

488
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,520

00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: called hell. Give us, give us maybe the most memorable

500
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: from a a standpoint of you know, driving out, you

501
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: made a difference.

502
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: Ah, I would say, I would. I would say if

503
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: it was Joplin, it was that first one because we

504
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: were so wrong.

505
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: Besides Joplin. Yeah, something something you haven't heard, something we

506
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: haven't heard. Tell us, tell us what else? I look. Yeah,

507
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: I'm hoping people hear you and say there's something I

508
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: could do. And the next time there's a disaster within

509
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: five hundred miles of me, I'm gonna go raise fourteen

510
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, look up my van and trailer and I'm

511
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: going and I'm gonna cook, and I'm gonna serve. This

512
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: is I'm sitting here, actually listening to you, thinking I've

513
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: got a lumber yard here with every tool and trailer

514
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: and things known to mankind. It is something I could do,

515
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: And I think it would be cool to take my

516
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: son's and see what service looks like in the face.

517
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: Of next time we come south. We're just gonna scoop

518
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: you on the way, Tyler.

519
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: But in the face of I mean, let's be candid.

520
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: Sure people have lost everything, including family members in these things.

521
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: They are desperate, and you're rolling in serving, and so

522
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: I'm hoping people will be motivated when they hear you

523
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: to think, why couldn't I do that? An army of

524
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: normal folks serving in areas of need. What that we

525
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: haven't heard are things that people might see and what

526
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: they can expect.

527
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 2: And probably probably Ida, which was New Orleans area grand Isle.

528
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: We had a that's dangerous down there.

529
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: It was very dangerous. We were so dumb that we

530
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: don't know what we're doing.

531
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes will tell me about Ida and Grande.

532
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that was a crew and I had Fortunately,

533
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: I had two really good Munsey City Police officers with

534
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: me in our a truck.

535
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: And how many of you went there was six that time,

536
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,120

00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: Smokers are already there. We pulled, we pulled a trailer

538
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: down of supplies. I don't know how many cookies we

539
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: took this time. It was nuts. It was I think

540
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: we had one.

541
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: Hundred dozen, one hundred dozen cookies and six guys. Two

542
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: cops are among the six guys.

543
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: And they have enough ammunition under that back seat and

544
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: they have a full auto with them. I got full auto.

Speaker 2: rolling down these guys because they have badges, they drive

548
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: like a bat out of hell. I mean, I'm pulling

549
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: a trailer and I'm trying to keep up and it's

550
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: it's hard, and they these guys are rolling, I mean,

Speaker 2: friend Kenny Glob went with me, and as goes with me.

553
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: He's kind of right hand a man on some of

554
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: these trips with that gives me more crap than anybody

557
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: the way, We're going all the way down there, and

558
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: when you get down into grand Isle, you know, that's

559
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: where that's where the pirates and now the drug dealers,

560
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: that's where they're bringing in all. That's where the drugs

561
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: are coming in. One of the great places are great,

562
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: very very very tough, very very very well. They can't

563
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: get all of the bridges have been.

564
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: By the way, were you surprised by the dialect because

565
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: it's an interesting dialect in and around there?

566
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess yes, a little bit. It catches me

567
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: off because I laugh because I only know the dialect

568
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: by movies, right, and it's always played up pretty hard.

569
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: I always know it by by Adam Sandler, you know,

570
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: by the guy that was. That's about the only thing

571
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: that way I really have it.

572
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: But that's what we're talking about. We're talking about.

573
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: It was. It was we were at a church and

574
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: we had we had great accommodations which were which were

575
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: a very large that had power. Because we were on

576
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: there was kind of a niche in there and this

577
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: church or the larcher and the pastor or the associate

578
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: pastor there was wonder if he said, just pick you

579
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: a room out and we are fixed. We will, My

580
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: ladies are fixing this huge breakfast every morning for all

581
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: of you. You can just take a room. We will

582
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: lock it. You can leave all your stuff in there.

583
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: You don't have to move it every day. Sleeping bags,

584
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: we got air mattresses for you. We just normally don't

585
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: have that. They were also a location that was where

586
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: all supplies were coming in, so I didn't even have

587
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: to big barrow. I just walk out in the morning,

588
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: load the trucks up. We'd throw thirty tarps in shovels,

589
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: just fill it full, and then we were going to

590
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: We were going to a home depot and buying other

591
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: things that we would need if we need a chain

592
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: saw or something.

593
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: You hit everybody up for money on the way down.

594
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, and our goal is to come back. We

595
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: need only enough money to fill that tank for the

596
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: last time and then get the months it was zero

597
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: and if not, we throw it in the money bag

598
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: of the seat. So we got down there, and the

599
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: problem was none of the local none of the people

600
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: that had any sense and that knew anything, would take

601
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: food out into grand Isle. Those people have been isolated.

602
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: Some of them had an't eat anything in three days.

603
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: All food's gone. They've been wiped off because they're scared

604
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 2: of the people that are out there. They said, these

605
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: are scary people, and guys from the church are I going.

606
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: You guys don't want to go? Well, of course all

607
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: you got to do is tell us six that we

608
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: don't shouldn't go do something. And of course we're like

609
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: we're in, we're going, we're going, and now when we

610
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: go anymore, because on the way down there we had

611
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: got a report that there was a gentleman after it hit.

612
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: Just remember the things that are in swamps that got

613
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: shoved inland by the surge ten miles like snakes, like

614
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: very large, very very very large snakes, and alligators and

615
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: everything else just got washed in. Lady and husband down

616
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: the basement to get stuff out. He said, how do

617
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: you go on out and get that. I'm going to

618
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: get grab one more thing. She never saw him again.

619
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: The gator had him to the arm and drug him off. Wow,

620
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: she never saw him again at that time. I would

621
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: have to say that. The next thing I did was

622
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: go to my gun safe and we loaded several clips

623
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: into the glock and it was and then I had

624
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: two of them with me and they were in the

625
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: console of the truck. And we never not had one

626
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: with us. Because where you're at, you're in washed areas

627
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: where had been flooded. Would you'd once in a while

628
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: you could you could see where gators had drugged. We

629
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: really never saw any with that, but the locals were saying, oh, yeah,

630
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: they're over there. There's one there's one behind them. He said,

631
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: we had three gators in our swimming pool. We came

632
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: out that morning and there's three glligators in the swimming pool.

633
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: And so here's the thing you got to go do

634
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: that we've never taken. Chris been with me with one.

635
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: We had a neighbor lady and her son wanted to go,

636
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: and that was down at Livonia, Arkansas. We typically do

637
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: not take a lot of ladies with us, just because

638
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: sometimes there's things that I'm going to go do and

639
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: that we might say that out of respect. I don't

640
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: want my wife there. It's a boy's trip. It's like

641
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: it's like a golf trip. There's sometimes I don't want

642
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: my daughter over there because Dad might go do something.

643
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'd ever regret it, but I might

644
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: borrow something. It just happens. Bill things happened. So they

645
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: so we ended up we were there, so we were

646
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: taking meals down there and then they diverted us and

647
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: said that they got a bridge and a boat just

648
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: got like hundreds of meals taken in from a different

649
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: feeding state and I think they were taken in by

650
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: the state police. So it was a different grip. So

651
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: ours just went to a different feeding station. We just

652
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: moved stuff all day long. But we went into some

653
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: areas and that's what and that's what I'll tell everybody.

654
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: We really had very few problems ever, And we were

655
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: in some of the poorest of the poor areas down

656
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: in that Grand Isle area, in some of the area

657
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: where they or the local they said, just don't go there.

658
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: That is where all the drug dealers and everything.

659
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: But that's also where the biggest need was.

660
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: Probably it's where we will go every time. Give us.

661
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: We want the worst of the worst situation because and

662
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: you know what, they were the most appreciative people, kindest people,

663
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: because we treated them reasonable and maybe in the first

664
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: people they said, well, you know, nobody comes over here

665
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: and brings up to everything. Everything goes to the north

666
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 2: side of town. I said, so we're here, what do

667
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: you want and we could use this and this and this.

668
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, we'll be right back. We go borrow some

669
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: stuff and we come back borrow yes, sir, whether they

670
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: returned it or not, I could care less. I borrowed it.

671
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm gone, Yeah, I got to move on to and

672
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: you know, and we just we go find that stuff

673
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: for them. And then you also get the whole, the

674
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: whole other side. There was a gentleman from a home depot,

675
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: was a general assistant general manager at a home depot

676
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 2: down there. We go in and we we pick up

677
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: I don't know we bought that nine thousand dollars worth

678
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: of stuff. I don't know how many extension cords they

679
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: had deals on some generators. They just had a truckload

680
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: in and we just and we bought a bunch of

681
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: and so we get up and we go through the line.

00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: I've done the math. It's nine grand. We've got about

683

Speaker 2: trunds and all my guys.

714
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: But that's part of the thing is action effort and

715
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: generosity beget action effort and generosity all day long when

716
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: you start, it's amazing how many people will follow. But

717
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: you've got to start.

718
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 2: You gotta start a fight. There's no fight. I mean

719
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: once in a while, you just got to call it

720
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: out and just go do it. And I will tell

721
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 2: everybody I don't care what is, it doesn't matter how small.

722
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: But and I do what I do, and I don't

723
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: apologize ever for that. What fits me doesn't fit you,

724
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 2: doesn't fit somebody else. But every little thing, every little idea,

725
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: or every little offer of kindness and or generosity, I

726
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: think there'll be somebody appreciate it and the world will

727
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 2: move you to you just can't be scared. But also

728
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: don't let don't let the governing factors at these things

729
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: dictate what you do, because what they do is they

730
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: gather assets, take credit for it, and pass them out.

731
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: You go do it, just win and doubt. Door to

732
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: door is an interesting.

733
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever been asked, well, what part of organization

734
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: you with.

00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: Every time we go?

736
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: And what do you say?

737
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: We just say, we're just a bunch of dudes from

738
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: months seeing you want to beer and it's a barbecue,

739
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: and it's a barbecue and it's and it's when you

740
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: you lead with food and a cold drink on a

741
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: hot day. You can make all the friends in the

742
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: world and that and it's such a great thing. And

743
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: Bob and Rocky and those guys been so generous of

744
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: just letting us kind of horn in on it. But

745
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: then we go do a you do because I don't

746
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: like to cook. I don't like to be pigeonl because

747
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: I want to be toe to toe. I want to

748
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: go talk to the guy who's got problem if I

749
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: can fix that problem. If you want to know, what

750
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: makes me happy is when you have a problem and

751
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 2: I fix it. That's what makes out hold and happy.

752
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 2: That's why I get up in the morning and just

753
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 2: it's just fun to go do that. Because when they

756
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: a generator, maybe a coat because we didn't need a

757
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 2: coat or need a pair of boots or gloves, and

758

Speaker 2: and I mean a mountain. It was probably fifteen twenty

770
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: feet tall, spread down. And that was the little packets

771
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: that churches put together in a ziplock bag that has

772
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: a toothbrush, toothpaste, maybe a little deodorant that everybody builds,

773
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: all these churches built. I bet you there was fifty

774
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: thousand packages, and there was a front loader scooping them

775
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 2: and putting them into a depression and covering them with dirt,

776
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: just waste. And so do the math. It probably was

777
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: about four dollars, okay, even travel size at a buck apiece.

778
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: Four bucks times fifty thousand, two hundred thousand dollars. I

779
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: could have fed all of Joplin with really good rocky

780
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: barbecue the whole They could have stayed for weeks. We

781
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: could have take can care of all of that. It

782
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: would have bought one hundred generators, could have given aybody

783
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 2: a brand new generator with extension cord. They would have

784
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: been fine and all that because they don't know what

785
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: to go do. The worst thing is doing something and

786
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: doing what everybody else has done. Sometimes you just need

787
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: to go to the fight and figure out what the

788
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: fight is. Then go back, go volunteer at one, figure

789
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: out going. They don't need that.

790
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: And what we we figured out, you know what's a

791
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: good way to find out what somebody needs.

792
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, ask them, ask them, just to ask them, you

793
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 2: need some.

794
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: Toothpaste or some leather gloves.

795
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 2: And you looked at and here's the thing. The guys

796
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: were giving the gloves to the women and the men's

797
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: hands were bloody. Craziest thing I saw, and I've got

798
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 2: to tell you because you love this story, the funniest

799
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: thing we saw and it was only in a photograph

800
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: and then we heard the story told to us. It

801
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: was the first day we showed up Joplin. There's a

802
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: picture of a couple officers and there's a guy he

803
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: was not in good shape in one of the chairs,

804
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: like we're sitting in a just a an office chair,

805
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: and he's got his hands on his knees and he's

806
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: duct taped to the chair. He looks like life is

807
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: not going well for him in the last three days.

808
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: The story goes that he was a looter stealing copper

809
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: and the three brothers whose mom I believe had perished

810
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: at the Joplin at their homestead. He was out one

811
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 2: of those nights looting the copper from their property and

812
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: these boys came up and they were going through That's

813
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: what we did a lot of They're just looking. We'd

814
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: find joy bullets and ammunition everywhere you had a metal detectory,

815
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 2: it would just it would have just screamed all the time.

816
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: They were just ammunition. Is amazing. We never found any guns, though.

817
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: We did see about a sixteen foot snake dead as

818
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: we picked up a wall trying to find it, and

819
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: we found it. We found a lady's photograph album, probably

820
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: the greatest thing I ever found. She took it, left

821
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 2: everything else on the property, clutched it, got in her van,

822
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 2: Melissa kiss and left and Tony Riley opened the thing

823
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 2: up and I grabbed it and was like, she goes,

824
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 2: that's all I came for. I wanted all my family

825
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 2: pictures the rest of it. I'm not looking through it. Well,

826
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 2: these boys were just down the street, and we left

827
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 2: there and pulled up and where they and these guys

828
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 2: were telling us the story that lived across the street

829
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: from said, so you hear about the guy in the chairs,

830
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: and they said, well, made front page of the paper.

831
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: So these three boys caught him and he said, well, hey,

832
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: I'm just to my house here, trying to get some

833
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 2: copper and get some money out of it. And they go, oh, really,

834
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: we live here. So they played with him like a

835
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: cat does with a mouse before they kill it. So

836
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: they they beat him up. They found a desk chair

837
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: across the street, put him in the chair, duct taped

838
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: him to it, tied a rope onto the chair, and

839
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: drug him up and down the road free times. They

840
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: then taped a sign that was on his chest on

00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: this newspaper it may still be up him, I may

890
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: don't get to do that all the time, and it's

891
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 2: just God has blessed me with the ability to actually logistics.

892
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 2: Most people don't like the logistics. It's with your company.

893
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 2: If people had to do all the things you had

894
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: to do, they like, oh, it's great, he's got this

00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: see what I saw in one hour today, okay, And

897
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: if they saw that and had to go do that,

898
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: they don't want to do that. Bill, And I've been

899
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: blessed enough that that doesn't bother me. And I like

900
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 2: I like having stuff that I can share, and it

901
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: just makes me happy when people will vow you what

902
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: I'm doing and take it.

903
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,600

909
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: and God has not told me to go do that.

910
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: Even with the secret families. Families we intentionally.

911
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:21,960

00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 2: have an analogy in a story for everything. And I

925
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 2: always told him, I said, you know, I'm not the

926
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 2: guy that's going to be day to day counseling and

927
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 2: dealing with somebody's problem because somebody's son has an addiction

928
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: problem or that. I'm not that guy. I'm not that

929
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: counselor I'm not that data. I'm not the fifth grade teacher,

930
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 2: my lovely life, fifth grade teacher. She she buys in

931
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: those thirty kids. I mean it's like she's like cooland

932
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 2: she may be their teacher, but she's dealing with their

933
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: families and dealing with that. I'm not built that way.

934
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 2: And I always told them, Mark, I'll catch them, you

935
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 2: claim them, and I'll get them. I'll get them here

936
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: and we'll tell them about that I'll sell it and that,

937
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: but keeping them here someone else needs to do that.

938
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: But that's the beauty of it. And it speaks exactly

939
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: to what we always talk about. That's your discipline and

940
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: your passion seeing an opportunity in a place of need

941
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: where your discipline your passion meet opportunity someone else's discipline

942
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: and passion is and that's okay. And if you have

943
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: an army of normal folks with varied sundry disciplines and

944
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: passions meeting opportunities, areas of needs get filled as they

945
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: need it by different people, different disciplines, and yours happens

946
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: to be commando, which I just had a mental picture

947
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: of what commando means.

948
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: And I'm a little yeahsle disturbed should be disturbed And

949
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 2: that's a well and I guess even and going to

950
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: going to your analogy and I we we got to

951
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: watch Undefeated the other night. Wow, pretty cool. It's a team.

952
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: You didn't need money to carry the ball. You don't

953
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 2: need to knock someone's head off, right, and that he

954
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: had his job to do and his job to do.

955
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: Those the lignement are not the same as the running back.

956
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 2: That running back bear be quick and bear getting the

957
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 2: end zone. But somebody's got a clear hole. My job

958
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 2: is a clear hole. I'm not a running back. I'm

959
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 2: more alignment and I like that and I you're right,

960
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 2: and I think everybody stay in your lane, do what

961
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: you do really well.

962
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: And do what you're passionate about, and burn out on

963
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: anything you're passionate about.

964
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: Amen. Amen. And that's and that's the key to it,

965
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: because you want to go back, you want to go

966
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: do other things, you want to go do it again.

967
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: I can't wait. We haven't been on one for I

968
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 2: mean the Solvent one. There wasn't a lot there. I'm

969
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 2: ready for another three or four day or you know,

970
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: here and there, and the guys are all they're not

971
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 2: chomping at the bit, but they if I'd say go there,

972
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean it's they're they're lock and load. They're ready

973
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 2: to rock and roll with it.

974
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: Have to be confused with you're ready for somebody to

975
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: get hit by.

976
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 2: Not at all. But it's when it happens. We want

977
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: to be we want ready to go. And we've been

978
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: very blessed that we've been able to buy. There was

979
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 2: these guys, the guys we had initially joined up with

980
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 2: there were three smokers, and if I get this right,

981
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: there was one in Oklahoma, Bob had one in Muncie,

982
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: and then there was one out of Minneapolis. So these

983
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 2: guys all met up because they all bought smokers from

984
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 2: the same guy who's some truck driver in Texas that

985
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 2: builds these on the size welder and so he built

986
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: and so they need they want more. So part of

987
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: the sometimes when we have money left over, we'll leave

988
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: it with one of them. And we gave him enough

989
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 2: money they built two more. So months he has two.

990
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 2: There's two down in Oklahoma.

991
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: So you literally have smokers on step by waiting to

992
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: go to the next disaster grad rock and roll. That's hilious.

993
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: If anybody here's us and wants to support this, I

994
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: guess they just reach out.

995

Speaker 2: To you absolutely and it's you know again, it's ahldron

1012
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: here's the key to to raising money. Ask for what

1013
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 2: you want.

1014
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't say hey I need some money, say hey

1015
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: I need five hundred.

1016
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 2: Be specific, and you have to make up a number. Anyway.

1017
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 2: If you just say, it's easy to ask and they'll

1018
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: give you five bucks, fifties a little harder, five hundreds

1019
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 2: a little bit harder. Tell them go raise the five hundred.

1020
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: You don't have to be all yours. Go get for

1021
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 2: your friends to give you a hundred, and throw a

1022
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: hundred and send me a check. We will put it.

1023
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I have seen so much money wasted

1024
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 2: at these events by groups. And then I will well intentioned.

1025
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: They just but there's a lot of pump and circumstances

1026

Speaker 2: and salaries. We don't have salaries. We take days off

1027
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 2: work and probably lose money and go and go do that.

1028
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: If you find a local group that's doing something that

1029
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,919
Speaker 2: you can put money in mouth, that's what you want
