I go to 331 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: Central Park and clean the stalls at the horse stable 332 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: in Central Park in order to ride the horse for free. 333 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: Let me, mister, if you let me clean that stall. Uh, 334 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: I'll clean that stall if you let me ride your horse. 335 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: And I'd shovel horse. And he said, go ahead, do that. 336 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: You know. That's how badly I wanted to do that. 337 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: And once I got to California and then started, you know, 338 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: in the business, and the business was kind to me 339 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: enough to to to to put some ducets in my 340 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: pocket that I could do something with in terms of 341 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: fulfilling some dreams. That became a part of one of 342 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: the dreams I wanted to fulfill, you know. And so 343 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: then I little did I know that that desire was 344 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: in my DNA. You see what I'm saying. So that's 345 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: the true answer, you know, that's the real answer. Well, 346 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: that's that's the real actus. That's an honest ass. That's 347 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: the gift. That's the passion that I would always tell 348 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: people who come on the show, people who are listening 349 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: to the show, is that we deny yourself a lot 350 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: of dreams and a lot of great moments because we go, Uh, 351 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: that ain't me or what will people think about if 352 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: I started doing that? And and that's why, you know, 353 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: you know, I joke and I'd laugh about but the 354 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: whole rodeo thing. But man, I'm in awe that you 355 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: know that you're doing that and in the world where 356 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: can be so superficial? And then not only that, but 357 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: you tell us about your camp gette up because I'm 358 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: sure it's tied to the horse environment, the rodeo lifestyle, 359 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: the outdoor lifestyle the young people need to be familiar with. 360 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: Because my daughter, she's twenty two, she's not gonna go 361 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: anywhere without her phone and she she walks to YouTube. 362 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: She got screen on the wall. She's looking at her phone. 363 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: So that doesn't need anything.
