1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, luck and load. So Michael

2
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Arry Show is on the air.

3
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: Firemen.

4
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 3: Nobody knows why, firemen or firemen, not even they can

5
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: tell you why, but it is time somebody try. Firefighting

6
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: is the most risky of jobs. Fire and ice are

7
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: uncomfortable separately or together. Wives hate the hours, kids love

8
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 3: the noise. Fire and ice. Any day at the firehouse,

9
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: the bell puts the dispatcher on the horn with a

10
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 3: tenement tinder box address. Into bunker pants, rubber, turnout coat,

11
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: grab the mask and go. Minutes later you're on site.

12
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: As others run out, you go in. You'll need all

13
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: you can carry, the four pound acts, a six foot hook,

14
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: the Halligan pry bar. The ceiling has to come down,

15
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: and it's one of those stubborn tin ones. In the

16
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: scary dark, you are gouging out and tearing loose and

17
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: pulling apart, gulping hair and tasting black. Your windpipe is

18
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: closing and you've lost track of which way is out.

19
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: Is it really worth it? They've cut your ladder company

20
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: from six men to five, so now everything you do

21
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: is sixteen point sixty seven percent more difficult and more danger.

22
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: Your air is low inside your mask, you're throwing up.

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: There's a searing ember down your neck, toring glub's exposed,

24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: a smashed hand. So you emerge from the holocaust, hugging

25
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: with your elbows. Somebody's singed kitten. Back at the station house,

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: you can almost breathe again. Next come the tedious hours

27
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: as you would hang up on grimy tools. The clean

28
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: up crew at the firehouse as you when windows need

29
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: washing and toilets need cleaning, and floors need mopping and

30
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: beds need making.

31
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: You do it.

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: Is it worth it? Your b crew pumper swapped his

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: day shift so some family guy could be home for

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: his kid's birthday, and then out down toward a false alarm.

35
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Your buddy gets blindsided by a hot rod driven by

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: a drunk fire and ice. The intercom marks again. This

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: time it's a warehouse, a big fat, multiple blaze on

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 3: site engine man draped with icicles, dragging a three quarter

39
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: pre connect froze hose are waiting for your big line

40
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: ladderman can't make the building without you, search rescue ventily.

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: Eventually it's over and out. Your smoke's nudged and sleepless

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: and grung out, But this one you won, but the

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: raging blaze that wanted to consume adjacent buildings did not

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: because you were there. Back at the firehouse before clean up,

45
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: you and the guy sit as fell tired but be laughing,

46
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: feeling good about one another. Nobody outside your world can

47
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: ever know this feeling. Any other uniform, you get streets

48
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: named after you.

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: In this one.

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: You risk your life to save people until one day

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: you run out of chances and in one final fire,

52
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: either you buy it or you don't. And yet there

53
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: is no third way that you'd ever leave this job.

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: And you're doubting even God knows why. When you hear

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: us from of your voice saying it is worth it,

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: and you're hearing this voice, and there's nobody there but you.

57
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: It's a quiet voice from nowhere saying it is worth it.

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Fireman Paul Harvey could read the phone book and it'd

59
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: be interesting. That's the truth. So my buddy, whose name

60
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention, it may or may not

61
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: be like Claypool, but I'm not saying it is like well,

62
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: could be him and his wife Lori. Baby's born. They've

63
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: put on the stork out front. They've told everybody blake.

64
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: So everybody's showing up. Let me see baby Blake. Well,

65
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: we looked at the baby and he didn't look like

66
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: a Blake. He's Connor. And I'm thinking to myself, who

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: looks at a newborn baby and says, uh, he don't

68
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: look like a Blake. He's more of a Connor. Mind you,

69
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: he's coliguies, he's puking, he's crying. Who's thinking at that moment,

70
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: that's not a Blake. He's clearly not a Black. You

71
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: can tell you not Blake. I mean, look at that kid,

72
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: am Blake, that's Connor? Who is thinking that? That was

73
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: the funniest damn story I've ever heard. I how do

74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: you know with a newborn baby an hour old? It

75
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: actually wasn't It was like a day later. So can

76
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: you imagine they're probably getting blankets in the mail with

77
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: Blake in b It's a whole industry now right. They're

78
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: probably getting personalized diapers, you know, all the bibs, the stuff.

79
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: People and they're like, I'm gonna I'm gonna send them

80
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: this nice gift. I'm gonna go ahead and put the

81
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: baby's name on there, because you want your baby's name

82
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: on everything. And so they got all this stuff for

83
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: baby Blake, and all they're thinking is this kid, this

84
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: is worse than a gender transition. His name is Connor.

85
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Stopped calling him Blake. He's a month old. You're gonna

86
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: mess him up. So I asked people to tell the story,

87
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: because I know we're gonna have some good stories. Aaron,

88
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you got one for us? Hey, yeah, I do.

89
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: And actually that's why I did not monogram anything for

90
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 4: my own kid or have anything monograms, because I was

91
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: nervous about that. But this is actually about my great grandfather.

92
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: They had a name picked out because they were certain

93
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: it was a girl, and so the name was Minerva

94
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: Francis and he came out and they didn't have any

95
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: other names available. So on his birth certificate it is

96
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: M period F period and that's it. So he goes

97
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: by which, as.

98
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 5: We all know, Sam, Yes, yes, yeah.

99
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: And so what did you end up naming?

100
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: Well, that's I mean, that's his name what I ended

101
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 4: up naming my daughter. Yeah, my daughter is Alison Jean

102
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: and we call her Ali from Karate Kids.

103
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Oh, I like that Alison with two l's are one.

104
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: Two l's, and we did that so that if she well,

105
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: so I always wanted. My name is just Aaron. And

106
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: so whenever the teacher would call on people in class

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: and somebody would say Elizabeth and they would get to say, actually,

108
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: it's Lizzie and they would say hey, Aaron, and I

109
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 4: would say here.

110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: And so I always.

111
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 4: Wanted to have a kid whose name was something that

112
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 4: could be shortened. So whenever they say Alison, she can say,

113
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: actually it's Ali.

114
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: Why did you want that?

115
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 5: I don't know.

116
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: I think just because they always passed by me and

117
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: they just kind of went to the next person.

118
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Okay, that's.

119
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, But but she loves it. She loves

120
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: because and we do call her Alison when she's in trouble,

121
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: but she goes by Allie, you know, by everybody else.

122
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: And and Ali is just my ultimate favorite name.

123
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Well, I like Ali. What what is your last name?

124
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: What is your middle name?

125
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: My middle name? Oh boy, Busby b.

126
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: U s b Y.

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: You know it's a family name, isn't it.

128
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 6: Yeah?

129
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: My sisters is Burford b U R F.

130
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 6: O R D.

131
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Dear God, be glad you got Busby.

132
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: That That is what everybody says.

133
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm just going to be completely honest. I was a

134
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: ruthless child, probably not surprising. If I had a classmate,

135
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: a girl whose middle name was Burford, we would have

136
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: called her Buford and we would have relentlessly tormented that

137
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: she would have moved, she would have moved schools.

138
00:07:59,720 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: It was.

139
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: It's pretty bad. Sometimes I tried to change my today, right, well,

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: and that's why I went with my maiden name. Now,

141
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: so the bugy's gone, and so now I've got my

142
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: maiden name, which is which everybody called me in Hichol deton.

143
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: How you spell that.

144
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: D E A T O N.

145
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: I guess that's better. This is the Michael Barry Show.

146
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one.

147
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: So my friend who may or may not be Oute

148
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Playpool and his wife who may or may not be

149
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: his wife Lori have a baby and they've told everybody

150
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: the baby's name is Blake. They've put it on the store.

151
00:08:52,720 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: People are buying nappies and shirts, shoes, stuff that can't

152
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: be taken back now that you've now that you've put

153
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: the the baby on there, at least if you kept

154
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: the same initial than anything that was monogram you could nope.

155
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: And they look at this little baby, drooling, pooping. That's

156
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: not a Blake. That's a Conner. And it's just was

157
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: a hypothetical. It could be anybody. I'm just using that

158
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: person as an example who it could have been. So

159
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: they decide, which just amuses me to know end only

160
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: a mother could do that. He's not a blake. You

161
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: can see he's not a blake. How would you know that,

162
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: You got no body of work. You don't know what

163
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: his grades are gonna be. You don't know his personality,

164
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: his height, weight, Is he gonna be bald in sixth grade?

165
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be you know, built like a brick. Yeah,

166
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: you just don't know. But he's this kid, as clear

167
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: as baby. It's clearly not a blake. We got to

168
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: change it. But honey, we can't change it, everybody. We've

169
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: already told the whole world. You know, in the old

170
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: days when I was born, you would have given that

171
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: to the newspaper because they didn't have a lot in

172
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: the Orange Leader. Birds and Deaths was a big deal.

173
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: Mm hm, ramone. I don't mean to brag, but I

174
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: made the newspaper for the first time after my birth

175
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: announcement at two years old. True story. We were living

176
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: in the house on Crabtree. Anybody knows where that is

177
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: just across the tracks from the park behind wickersham Ford.

178
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 7: And.

179
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: We were living. My mother was living with her parents,

180
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: my grandparents, in a rented house on Crabtree. And I

181
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: fell down the stairs boom boom, boom boom, probably what

182
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: it's probably half my problems, and I busted my head open,

183
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: and I was taking the hot hospital, and so at

184
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: the hospital there was somebody on the take there that

185
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: for five dollars a lead or two dollars a lead

186
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: or whatever would call and go, we got a kid

187
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: in here, busted his head open from the second floor. Okay,

189
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Michael Christian Barry, Okay, yepop. And it was there. I

190
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: was in the news and my mother, because back in

191
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: the day you would you won't remember this. They used

192
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: to print the newspaper and then these kids would ride

193
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: around on their bicycle and they would throw the newspaper

194
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: and it was a game, right you try to hit

195
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: something when you and so people would get the newspaper.

196
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: And if you were in the newspaper, in our fan,

197
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. And she has all the little

198
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: clippings in there. I was my first time in the

199
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: newspaper for having my head busted open at two years

200
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: old on Crabtree Fall Downstairs. True story, Kim, you're on

201
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: the Michael Berry Show. Hello, but you got sweetheart? I

202
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: can hear you find So.

203
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 7: My son his story is before he was born, we

204
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 7: decided we were going to try to pick out names.

205
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 7: And I asked, because the husband always sticks it out.

206
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 7: You know that you're going to have a son, you

207
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 7: find out the gender. So he decided he said, we're

208
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 7: gonna name him Leroy, and I'm like, oh my gosh,

209
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 7: please not Leroy. And I said how about Dwayne? And

210
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 7: he's like no, then then he's gonna go to school

211
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,359
Speaker 7: and all the kids are gonna be like, oh Wayne,

212
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 7: I know right. So I was like, oh, okay, that

213
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 7: could be true. So he was born and my doctor

214
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 7: had a habit of the names.

215
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 5: He would do songs.

216
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 7: So here I'm all drugged up and he asked my husband, so,

217
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 7: what did you name your son? And he said Leroy?

218
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 7: And I'm like, oh my god, please don't pick out

219
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 7: on the birds, justific it. And so the doctor starts

220
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 7: singing the song Leroy Brown, and I'm like, oh my god,

221
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 7: he's on board with this and so I'm like, please,

00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, but he was not white.

224
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: I know where you're going. He was not white, right right.

225
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 7: So after it was all said and done, and I'm

226
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 7: in the recovery room and everything, and I'm like, oh

00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 7: name him Leroy. And he goes, no, I didn't. And

229
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh my gosh, thank you so much, lord.

00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 7: said no, I named him Lane. His name is Lane Bradley,

233
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 7: Lane Bradley's shoelock and his initials are pounds l bs.

234
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: I like that. There is no doubting that Lane Bradley

235
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: is a white kid. You will never have that worry.

236
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: But I know, I was like, oh my it, yeah,

237
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 7: I know.

Speaker 3: I know.

239
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: The head of the rodeo in town was Leroy Schaeffer,

240
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: and he was the whitest white guy you'll ever meet.

241
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a true good old boy cowboy

242
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: belt buckle. I mean he was Leroy Hermes, the architect.

243
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: He's you know, very educated, sophisticated, but redneck Leroy and

244
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Barbara Hermes Man about town. H I know another white Leroy.

245
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was. My wife had a

246
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: classmate in law school named Amy. I can't remember Amy's

247
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: last name, probably better than I don't. And she was

248
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: dating a guy I think they got married, and his

249
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: name was Jerome, and me being me, first time I

250
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: met him, she said Michael because we already knew her,

251
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: and she was in Houston for law school and they

252
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: but they were from Dallas, and she said, Michael, meet

253
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: my fiance Jerome. And oh, I couldn't help it. I

254
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: startled me and he goes, I know it's a black

255
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: dude's name, and I said, no, not at all, No, No,

256
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: I know. No. Of course, I was saying, I've never

257
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: met a white Jerome ever. If you meet somebody named Jerry, now,

258
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: I always wonder, I wonder if he's secretly a Jerome

259
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: and he goes by Jerry, because white people are not

260
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: named Jerome, Right, Terry, Jill, Steve, all of you on

261

Speaker 1: or Montravius, or you got an apostrophe, Yeah, that's a

264
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: rough ghost.

265
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,320

272
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: We can't be just sitting around waiting on a fire

273
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: risk what I'm saying. Let's go to Jill. For those

274

Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter's funeral. We will in the next hour. Jimmy

276
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: Carter called Donald Trump an illegitimate president. Please do not,

277
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: in my presence, find yourself saying, you know, Jimmy wasn't

278
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: a good president, but he was a good man. After

279
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: he left office, he did a lot of good things.

280
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: No he didn't. You don't know what he did. Stop

281
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: saying stupid stuff. Are you aware that he said on

282
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: multiple occasions that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president. Go

283
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: ask any Jew if they think Jimmy Carter was a

284
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: good president. Post presidency you've been told he was a

285
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: bad president. You don't even know why he was a

286
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: bad president. You can't name why he was a bad

287
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: president because you don't bother to learn it. I'm fine

288
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: with that. You can repeat something if I agree with

289
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: what you're repeating, but you cannot repeat what you've been

290
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: told because the media told you. You know, he wasn't

291
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: a good president. Who wasn't you know? Reagan beat him? Now,

292
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: but he was a good man, was he? Do you

293
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: know anything about what he said and did? He wasn't

294
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: a good man? Well, you know he was a peanut farmer,

295
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: was he was it a profitable peanut farm? You bought

296
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: that crap too? How about this? Just so you know,

297
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: forty years from now, they're gonna say, you know, Joe

298
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Biden was a one term president. But unlike Trump, who

299
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: if you wouldn't believe Trump was he was loud and crashing.

300
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: Oh everybody hated him. People would cringe when he would talk.

301
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Oh it's terrible. And Joe Biden, boy, he was. He

302
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: was a good man. You know, he was a little older,

303
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: so you know, I remember people were like, oh, he's

304
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: se now because they'd pick on him because old. But

305
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: he was a good man and they picked on it.

306
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: He had a son and just like Jimmy Carter with

307
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: his brother Billy, and you know they would you know,

308
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: they hounded Jimmy Carter just because his brother took bribes

309
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: from the Lebanese, from the Libyan government and they hounded them.

310
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: You know, he had Billy Bear. You know, he was

311
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: he was a good guy. And I felt bad for

312
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter. You know, they haunded him and then afterwards,

313
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: you know he'd build houses for poor people. Yep. He

314
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: just go out there and just hammer them to He

00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: just be out there. You just you just drive down

316
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: the street and you're like, oh, that looks like Jimmy Carter. Yeah,

317
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: because he's a peanut farmer. He was. He was a

318
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: you know, you could argue whether he was a good

319
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: president or not, but he was a good man. He

320
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: was a good good man and lived along lived Bee hundred. Yeah,

321
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: he was a good man. And you know I can

322
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: respect that about him. I don't have to like his presidency,

323
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: but I can respect that. Is crap. That's like saying,

324
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: you know, the he's a good man defense is what

325
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: they use for Joe Biden. He's a jerk. He's a

326
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: bad guy. He's awful, and it's okay to say that. Well, Michael,

327
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: don't speak ill of the dead. How about Hitler? Somehow

328
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: you managed to speak ill of Hitler? Nobody says, well,

329
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, he did have that unique mustache and all,

330
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: and he loved his German shepherd. And you know he

331
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: made an honest he made an honest woman of Eva Braun.

332
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: He insisted to marry her before they had to die.

333
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: They is gonna kill him, you know, No, he was

334
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: a monster. Jimmy Carter was horrible. He flew around the country.

335
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: He flew around the world acting as if he was

336
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: the leader of America, intervening in foreign affairs, contradictory to

337
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: America's stated position at the time. Bill Clinton hated him.

338
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: Not that that's your state, that's your judgment. Bill Clinton

339
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: hated him because he put the Marillis boat lift. When

340
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: they found out that Castro said, oh, you want our refugees, okay,

341
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: one day, we'll send you our refugees one day, one

342
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: day only. You got to take them all, Okay, we'll

343
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: take them. He unloaded the prisons. Well, Carter's dumb ass.

344
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Does he send them back no, he sends them to Arkansas. Well,

345
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: if you've seen that sea in Scarface where the guy

346
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: gets gutted spoiler alert in the inside the Cuban refugee tent,

347
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: that didn't happen in Miami, that happened in Arkansas. That's

348
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: a true story. Go look up the riots in Arkansas

349
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: that during Carter's presidency. And Bill Clinton was the governor

350
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: of Arkansas and he was furious at Jimmy Carter for

351
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: dumping all of these very very violent rapist murderers in

352
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: the state of Arkansas. I would just dump them there. Well,

353
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: they got out and started wreaking havoc. It wasn't a

354
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: good guy. It wasn't a good He was a horrible president.

355
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: He was a horrible person after the fact. Don't keep

356
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: repeating something you don't know to be true. Well, Michael,

357
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: he built them homes for poor people. He went out

358
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: there for ten minutes and hammered a nail, and they

359
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: told you what a good guy he was. If he

360
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: was a good guy, you wouldn't have known he did that,

361
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: because he wouldn't have insisted that the cameras be there

362
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: to tell you what a good guy he was. He

363
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: spent every waking hour after his presidency was over, his

364
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: failed presidency, every waking hour trying to convince the world

365
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: that he was such a good man. He was a

366
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: horrible man, and I'm okay saying it, and you don't

367
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: have to say it was a horrible man, because again,

368
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: this is the nice neighbor syndrome. This is what gets

369
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: you in trouble. Is why a lot of you didn't

370
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: vote for Trump and twenty Well, I just want things

371
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: to get back to normal, you know. I mean, I

372
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: like him. I like him. I just wish be honest

373
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: with you. I wish he'd shut his mouth and stop

374
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: saying mean things. I mean, why does he have to

375
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: be some mean? Why does he have to do that?

376
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be some mean? Okay, well, you

377
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: understand they shot him in the head, they dragged him

378
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: through the court system, they've lied about everything about him. Yeah,

379
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: you got to be means Well, I just the nice neighbor.

380
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: That's why you people, That's why the Democrats get away

381
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: with it. We got all these Republicans out there. They think,

382
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: look at me, look at see. I'm not a bad person.

383
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those crazy fire breathers. I heard

384
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: Michael Berry talk about about Jimmy Carter, and I thought,

385
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: leave that man alone.

386
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: Leave it.

387
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: He made a statement. You know what he said. He said,

388
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter is lying in state in Washington, D c.

389
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: And that's not the first time all the last time

390
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: he lied. And you know what else he said, Jimmy

391
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: Carter has returned to Washington, D C. And at least

392
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: this time he's not screwing it up. Can you believe

393
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: he said that that's not nice? Nice is overrated, Jill,

394
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

395
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 5: Go ahead, sweetheart, Well, thank you for the Carter introduction.

396
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: Because my daughter, three hundred and sixty one days after

00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 5: my first suver was born, his second daughter is born.

398
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,960

401
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 5: three Madisons and three Ammas, and that was gonna be

402
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 5: her name, and I looked at my husband, I should

403
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 5: take another name, and so he picks Carter, And anyway,

404
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,480

00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 8: I get out of a university in nineteen sixty five,

413
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 8: totally prepared for life in the twelfth century, kind of

414
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 8: looked around here, looked around there, and then I got

415
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 8: this brown letter in the mail one day, signed by

416
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 8: a general. Come play with us. So I went down

417
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 8: to a place called Fort Jackson in South Carolina, where

418
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 8: they took my extensive college experience and put me into

419
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 8: the infantry as a lineman. I climbed telephone poles. It

420
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 8: was communications, yes, stringing that wire from one place to another.

421
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 8: And I met this guy down there who was in

422
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 8: the company. His name was Leroy Brown, and Leroy was

423
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 8: one of those guys that didn't know the meaning of no.

424
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 8: You tell Leroy to do one thing, and Leroy would

425
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 8: do another thing. He was just one of those kind

426
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 8: of characters. He come from Chicago, been out in the

427
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 8: street a long time and had to make his own way.

428
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 8: So he was about to keep on making it. He

429
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 8: was down there a couple of weeks and he looked

430
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 8: at me one night we're sitting talking. He says, you know, Jim,

431
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 8: I don't like this place, and I'm gonna go home.

432
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 8: So he got himself packed up and he went home

433
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 8: without telling anybody except in the army. They called it

434
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 8: a wall absent without leave. But he did come back

Speaker 8: at the end of the month to get his paycheck,

436
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,280

437
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 8: and took him where, but didn't bother him. Take it

438
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 8: out a little later and still hung around. He was

439
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,919

00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: said to her husband, whatever her husband's first name is,

463
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: but let's just assume for the sake of this argument,

464
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: we don't know who what the name is, but we'll

465
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: use Ike as a as a place as a marker, placekeeper.

466
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: She says, Ike, this child is not a blake. And

467
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: he dutifully said, you've lived through the hell of giving birth,

468
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: so yes, you're right. He obviously he's not a blake.

469
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the turn of his lip and

470
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: his nose and his eye. He can't be a blake.

471
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: But what is he, honey, Connor? You're right, he's clearly

472
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: a Connor. He's definitely a Conner. And I thought that

473
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: was the funniest thing, because only a mother who has

474
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: carried this baby for that long is looking down at

475
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: this baby, which is just a collection of sales at

476
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: that point, just a blubbering, pooping, crying, suckling creature. They

477
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: barely look like a human being at this point, and says, oh, no,

478
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: he's not a blake. My mother loved babies. If we

479
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: went somewhere and somebody had a baby, we went to

480
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: visit the family and they just brought a baby, hump,

481
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: she would not to be a nice person, but because

482
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: she genuinely enjoyed it, she would pick that baby up,

483
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: put it on her shoulder. It's spitting up and all

484
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: that gross crap coming out. Baby's a gross and that

485
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: crap's coming down her shoulder. And they'd go, oh, a

486
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: red a whole lonch you no, no, no, don't you worry.

487
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: Don't you worry? What you need some time? And to

488
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: keep the mother from worrying about the baby, she'd go outside.

489
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: She walk, she'd go walking, she'ld come back in an

490
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: hour so the mother could be away from that baby.

491
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: But not for the mother did she do this. She

492
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: loved babies, genuinely loved babies, and I tell you that

493
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: to tell you this, she had the most annoying habit ever.

494
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: And I told her till the day she died that

495
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: I hated this habit. She would look at Ramona Amy's

496
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: baby and go, I know everybody says it looks like you, Ramona,

497
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: but that baby looks just like Amy. How can you

498
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: tell that this collection of cells that's puking everywhere as

499
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: his eyes closed looks like one or the other. She

500
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: that's the old people don't do that. I don't think

501
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: like my mother's generation, they loved, loved, loved to tell

502
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: you who the baby looked like, and it was an

503
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: important thing. So if you went to a house and

504
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: you didn't like the wife, but you liked the husband

505
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: because he's part of our family. You know, Ruth, your

506
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: people will be my people, but we don't really like her.

507
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: You would say, that baby looks like you, Dwayne, that

508
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: baby looks just like you, and the mother would steam,

509
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: it looks just like you. And I'm sitting there looking

510
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: at that baby. It looks that How can you tell?

511
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: But that's what she would do. Drive people, drive me crazy,

512
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and it would be this big thing. And two weeks

513
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: later we went and saw Ramona Amy's baby. Oh my god,

514
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: everybody says that baby looks like Ramon. Let me tell

515
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: you something. That baby looks just like Amy, I mean

516
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: just like her, and that would be that that would

517
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: be the only takeaway from visiting that baby was s

518
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: k u n k? Is that skank or skunk? Or what?

519
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: Did you? Did you intend? What? That's skunk? Okay, but

520
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: you didn't tell him to spell it s k a

521
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: u n k? Did you?

522
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

523
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 6: Sure, just regular snk s k u n K.

524
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: Y'all think I'm kidding. He's written s k a u

525
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: n k on the screen. I could have lived. That's

526
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: a pepe le pew.

527
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: You know.

528
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 6: I can't get it right.

529
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: But it just feels like it's awkward that I have

530
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: to begin every conversation with Tommy. You're on the show.

531
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: Oh this is Tommy, This is Toby. Oh well yeah,

532
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: all right, Well let's just go from there. Who would

533
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: have possibly not known that your name was Toby when

534
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: they wrote t O M M Y on the screen. Anyway,

535
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: go ahead, skunk man.

536
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 6: That that ain't my government name, but that's the name

537
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 6: everybody knows me by.

538
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: Dare I ask why.

539
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 6: My older brother named me that when I just need

540
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 6: how I took grasshopper man I was a couple of

541
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 6: months old.

542
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Hmmm, all right, go ahead, and uh.

543
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 6: People people know me my whole life, they don't then

544
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 6: they don't know that that ain't my real name. They

545
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 6: think that's my real name. What did you call about, Scott, Well,

546
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 6: you was talking about, you know, crazy names and stuff.

547
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 6: That's kind of odd when you know you'll run into

548
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 6: a lot of those.

549
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: Let me get this straight. You called because you go

550
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: by a nickname that is not your actual name and

551
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: it's atypical.

552
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, pretty much. But uh, most people think that

553
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 6: that is my real name. They don't know that it ain't.

554
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 6: People have been calling me that my whole life.

555
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: Yes, h

556
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 7: M hm
