It's like, you know 55 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: a lot of people play golf. There's people that will leave, 56 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: They will do anything to go play Pebble Beach or 57 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: Whispering Pines or whatever course that they they pine valley 58 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: that they most want to play. It's amazing to me 59 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: the passion people have for things or hunting. They want 60 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: to hunt this particular thing and take down this particular thing. 61 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: These guys that go up in the mountain and bring 62 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: Holmes Williams with them and they kill an elk up 63 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: in the mountain and they got a haul of that 64 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: thing out. That does not sound to me like a 65 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: good time. That is not my idea of a good 66 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: time at all. But that's that's their thing. So you 67 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: remember Chris Colin was He was the original bartender of 68 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: the RCC and the face of the RCC that people 69 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: will most remember like the front of the RCC was Rico, 70 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: who was hired to do secure but he ended up 71 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: being like more the owner than I was. He was 72 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: he was the front. He would escort the little old 73 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 2: ladies in. He knew everybody's name. He would take care 74 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: of everybody. He wore a black duster. If you didn't 75 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: know his name, he wore a black duster and a 76 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: black hat, and he had a black beard, talk like 77 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: cookie monster and boots and everybody loved Rico. Rico Monstriani 78 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: just fantastic guy. When you got in, if it was 79 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 2: your second time there, from the moment you walked in 80 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: the door till you got over to the bar, which 81 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: was a floating bar out in the middle, Chris Colin 82 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: would know your drink already and you'd walk up and 83 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: your drink would already be there. That's a cheers feel. 84 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: You can't we can't replace that. He was one of 85 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: my favorite people that ever worked there because he always 86 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 2: made everybody happy. But what Chris really wanted to do 87 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: was finish his shift and go fish. That's his idea 88 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: of a good time. So he posted this picture of 89 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: himself with this big with this big fish, and I 90 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: had no idea what he lives down like Texas City 91 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: or Clear Lake or somewhere frinds would So I just 92 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: assumed it was in Galveston. I didn't notice in the back. 93 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: I didn't notice the color of the water, and I 94 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: didn't notice in the back there's mountains. And because I 95 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: was looking at this fish, and I didn't notice that 96 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: the fish had like a what do you call that, ramon, 97 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: like a mohawk, whatever you call that on a fish. 98 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 2: Don't make fun of me, I admitted, I don't know 99 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: anything about fishing. He's holding this big old fish and 100 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: he's leaning back because thing is so big. It's massive fish. 101 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: And so I looked down at the comments, and people 102 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 2: are going, rooster fish, Oh, rooster fish. I've always wanted 103 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: a rooster fish. How do people know that's a rooster fish? 104 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. I did, and so I looked up 105 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: rooster fish. You ever heard of a rooster fish? Ramon, Yeah, 106 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: well me neither. A rooster fish is a unique species 107 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: of marine karranga form fish in the warmer, shallow waters 108 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: of the southeastern Pacific Ocean from Baja California out to Peru. 109 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: Rooster fish, or popular sport fish for being strong fighters. 110 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: They are also important targets of local, artisanal and subsistence fisheries. 111 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: It is the only species in the genus Nemosticus, the family. Well, 112 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: you don't need to know all that. That's getting a 113 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: little deeper than you probably most need to know. You 114 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: know what a kerangiform is. It is a large diverse 115 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: order of ray finned fishes within the clad perkhamorpha. It 116 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: is a part of us. You don't need know all 117 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: that anyway, that's it's a it's a keranga form for whatever. 118 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: For whatever that means, I don't I kind of got 119 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: a little too deep off in that. I lost my 120 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 2: call screen. Can you just tell me who we got next? 121 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: Just point to them, Sergeant Bennett.

He said, sons 132 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: are out here and cut the grass. 133 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: Sergeant Minute hold On said, I went to you too 134 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: late and said, hold on, let's start you on the 135 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: next secent. 136 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 7: Hold it's the term anal intercourse on your programs, Michael, if. 137 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: It's relevant to this story for journalistic purposes. I don't 138 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: think Fiona adds to that song. I don't know what 139 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: she's doing other than sitting there just being crazy. She's nuts, man, 140 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: I mean she's a different different level of nuts, really 141 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: really nuts. Hey, Ramon, tell me something I hate to do. 142 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: I forget things. There's stuff that interests me and I 143 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: get real into it, and then I forget. Did we 144 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: ever get the people from Tinsley's on the show? Tinsley's 145 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: is the fried Chicken from Huntsville. I think the guy's 146 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: name was Jay David Tinsley. A woman I used to 147 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: know many many years ago. I didn't know her well, 148 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: but a lot of my friends did. Her name was 149 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: Jill Warren. I don't know whatever happened to Jill Warren. 150 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: I think she ran for judge or state rep or something. 151 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: But she was a hard Charger. There was a group 152 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: of us that all ran together, Ted Cruz, Ken Wise, Me, 153 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: Jim Grace, Jeff Brown, who's now a federal judge. We 154 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: all ran around together, and we were all in our 155 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: late twenties and very ambitious. And I think she might 156 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: have been about what, yeah, just running around. Yeah, So anyway, 157 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: she was part of that group. She might have been 158 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: a couple of years older, but she was considered like 159 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: a She was going to be somebody huge, And I 160 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,599 Speaker 2: don't know whatever happened to her, But I looked it 161 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: up and she had created a Tensley's fan club page. 162 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: I just saw it in the break, but it hasn't 163 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 2: she hadn't posted on it since twenty fourteen. Apparently she 164 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: was a hostess at Tensley's back in the day, and 165 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: so that was her tribute to Tinsley's. But nobody's posted 166 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: on there. But I bet you somebody can email me 167 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: the name of whoever is the closest in line and 168 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 2: can tell the tensley story.

In fact, Uh, I talked my brother 339 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 2: into selling his hardy that he was so proud to own, 340 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: and I made a financial inducement to get him to 341 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 2: do that because I did not want to have to 342 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 2: peel him off the pavement. I've known too many people 343 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: die in motorcycle accident, says, I'm kind of an old 344 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: woman when it comes to that, and I'm unashamed, so 345 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: I do everything I can. My oldest son, Michael, went 346 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: through a motorcycle phase that I think we're out of. Now. 347 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: I think we're out of. But I try to just 348 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: keep him as far away from that as I possibly can. Joe, 349 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 2: You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir. 350 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, Michael, I'm eighty five years old, as you know, 351 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 6: even though older than you. 352 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: The thing is you don't look at you look about eighties. 353 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: So you should be proud. 354 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I am. 355 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 8: I'm very proud. 356 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 6: You know a lot of memories of my parents. My 357 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 6: mom and dad really were good Christian saints. My dad 358 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 6: we moved us to Deer Park and he was known 359 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 6: as mister deer Park. He passed away in twelve and 360 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 6: I told a story h during his eulogy about when 361 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 6: I was in college at the Universey Houston. I was 362 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 6: in the PI cap Alpha Frattorney. A bunch of my 363 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 6: Atturney brothers wanted me to go to New Orleans and 364 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 6: they grabbed me and they locked me in the car 365 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 6: and were walking me right taking me to New Orleans 366 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 6: against my will. Well, we got to it ten uh 367 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 6: and I everybody got to go to the bathroom. I 368 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 6: jumped out and ran because I didn't want to go 369 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 6: to New Orleans with a bunch of drunk frattorney brothers. 370 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 6: I walked from Iten to the Lynchburg Ferry, across the 371 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 6: road down to twenty five, all the way to my parents' house. 372 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 6: I arrived at five point thirty in the morning and 373 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 6: they're like, what are you doing here? And there my 374 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 6: parents were at the breakfast table, reading the Bible and 375 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 6: reading reading their daily devotional and it was one of 376 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 6: those things where that don't talk about it. They just 377 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 6: lived their life. And their example. 378 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: Of Michael Barry said, I couldn't make it out that you. 379 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: Need to go get my testosterone shot. It's ridiculous. I 380 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 2: think my levels are dipped. Let's start with Billy. Billy, 381 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: you're on the Michael Berry Show. Take it away. 382 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 3: Okay, mine's a little a little different that my daddy 383 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: killed himself when I was ten years old. But I 384 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 3: grew up in Glenna Park. 385 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 8: And uh. 386 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 3: It was kind of raised by a village of men. 387 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 3: Ah my little league coach Barnon Wieberstein and uh one 388 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 3: of my best friend's father, Mederick Knight. They just just 389 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 3: let me come in to the life. And then when 390 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: I got older at Garner State Park, I met the 391 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: Bourn family from Berkshire and Dan Bouren was a wonderful 392 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: man and my kids ended up thinking that was their 393 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 3: grandfoot father. But it was when I was about thirty 394 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 3: eight or thirty five or something. I drove to the 395 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 3: other men that I didn't mention to about five men 396 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: around Texas that had retired, and told them what they 397 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 3: had meant to me, and they couldn't understand. They said, 398 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 3: we didn't do anything. And I thought, Wow, that's the 399 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: kind of man I want to be. So that's my story. 400 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: Great story, brother, I'm glad you shared that. When a 401 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: fellow starts a story with my dad killed hisself when 402 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: I was ten years old, it's hard to imagine where 403 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 2: that's going to go, but that was part of the story. Jim, 404 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 2: you're up, go ahead. 405 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 8: Yeah. This is Jim from Huntsville, Alabama, and I called 406 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 8: in a couple of times before Michael. But I had 407 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 8: a great grandfather and a great father. Both of them 408 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 8: were railroad men and working out of a little town 409 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 8: in southwest Missouri. And my grandfather was in World War two. 410 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 8: I'm sorry, it was in World War One and he 411 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 8: was classified as a wagon master worked on a railroad 412 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 8: there moving things in France. My father was in the 413 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 8: army in World War two. Was just a great man. 414 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 8: But I grew up and I graduated high school in 415 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 8: sixty six and at that time, when I was in 416 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 8: high school. Of course, the Beatles came to America, and 417 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 8: I played football and basketball, and the rules that our 418 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 8: school was you had to have a bur cut to 419 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 8: play sports because your helmets fit better and you weren't 420 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 8: always pushing your hair out of your eyes on the 421 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 8: basketball court. And I told my father one day, I said, Dad, 422 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 8: I want to grow my hair out like the Beatles. 423 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 8: And he said, son, you can do that, but your 424 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 8: feet will never fit under my table. And I didn't 425 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 8: question him at all. He was pretty strict. And he 426 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 8: also was a firm believer that I wore slacks to 427 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 8: high school, no jeans ever went to high school on 428 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 8: my body. So and I appreciate that for him by 429 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 8: him now. And he gave me a good work work ethic. 430 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 8: I worked all the time I was in college, and 431 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 8: I stayed in college, went to graduate school. And at 432 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 8: the same time, I had four jobs while I was 433 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 8: going to graduate school. 434 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: So that is it. That is what good fathers do. 435 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,959 Speaker 2: They make us the men we are. They teach us 436 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: that work ethic. We didn't just you know, fall from 437 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: the sky. We learned that. And kids that don't learn 438 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 2: that grow up differently. Makes a difference. And That is 439 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: why we pay tribute to fathers. That is why we 440 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 2: dedicate this time and energy extolling the virtues of fatherhood. 441 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: But the takeaway, and Chris, hold on, I'm we get 442 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 2: to you in just a moment, even if I have 443 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: to do it during the break. The takeaway from all 444 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 2: of this is not that fathers used to be great. 445 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: That is not the point of this story. The point 446 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: of the story is that fatherhood is as relevant, if 447 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: not more, today than it ever has been, and that 448 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 2: while we tear up over our own fathers, many of 449 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: whom we've lost, we have to ask ourselves, are we 450 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: being that kind of father to our own children today? 451 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: You don't stop being a father when your child leaves 452 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: the house. A child needs their father for the entirety 453 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: of their lives. A child is watching you for their 454 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: entire lives. They're watching you age, They're watching you grow old. 455 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 2: They are continually learning from you. I had a friend 456 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: named Chad Kibbodo. His dad stopped smoking just like that 457 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: cold turkey when he walked into the house came home 458 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: from work one day, he walked into the house, was 459 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: sitting in the living room eating a candy cigarette. He 460 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: said what in the world are you doing, they said, 461 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: and be like you. And his dad threw his cigarettes 462 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: into trash and never smoked again because he didn't want 463 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: his kid, who he realized now wanted to be like dad, 464 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: to have that horrible habit. So to restate, the point 465 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: is not that fatherhood was once important and beautiful and 466 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: grand and it's not anymore. We have the same responsibility 467 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: our fathers did, and it's time that we live up 468 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: to that. It's also important that if there are other 469 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 2: young people in your life, or young people in your company, 470 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: on your block, at your church, who could use a 471 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: bit of a mentor father figure, whether they realize it 472 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: or not, that is your responsibility to this earth. God 473 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: puts you in places for a reason. We don't always 474 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: know what that reason is. But God puts you in 475 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: that place. And if you hear the call, answer it 476 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: happy Father's dake.
