Episode 122: Sports

1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,520
Welcome back to another episode
of A Record of My Father.

2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,120
Today we're going to be talking
about sports.

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,080
I played lots of sports growing
up.

4
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,600
I played hockey.
I also played baseball, which I

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,280
was not good at.
I also played, what else said,

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,840
by football, which I was good
at.

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280
I played defensive nose guard
when I was seven years old

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,760
before we figured out the
concussions were a thing.

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,640
And then what else did I play?
I played skateboarding, played

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760
the skateboards for about 13
years.

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,840
You're still.
Skateboarding now.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,680
Yeah, yeah.
I always thought I broke my

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,200
lower back the other day.
I thought was crazy.

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,560
Snowboarding.
Snowboarding.

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,200
Yeah, Yeah, that's also.
We learned that.

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,560
We all learned together.
That was the that was the

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,080
coolest thing.
And 06, I think we went out for

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,000
the first time.
Oh, I played soccer.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,240
I also played basketball.
I also played.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Was there anything else?
I always like tracking cross

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,800
country, Trying cross country,
Yeah.

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,120
Yeah, you do a lot of sports.
No, I was really big at that.

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,240
Well, now you just, well, I was
kind of a thing.

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,200
I think when you grow up in the
area that I grew up in, your

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,760
parents make you try something
until you are good at it and

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,200
then or many different things
until you find one that you're

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,760
slightly better AT and not
terrible at, you know, like that

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,400
you're slightly better than all
the other ones, Right.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,000
Well.
What a lot of people try to do

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,920
what?
Yeah, yeah, you go for it.

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,360
Go for it.
As you're really trying to

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,960
figure out a way to find out
what a life sport is for a kid.

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,600
I think that, I think from my
perspective, the thing, the only

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
thing I really wanted you to do
was I wanted you to find

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,480
something that involved physical
activity at an early age that

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000
you like to do for a long time.
Because I mean, when I was a

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,600
kid, we played army, we played
kick the can, we played, you

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,400
know, the different types of
games, hide and seek.

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,000
We played smear the queer.
But we're not allowed to say

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,760
that anymore.
What is?

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,760
What is the?
Rules for kick the can?

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,480
How does that work?
I'm curious.

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Kick the can was one person was
under, the would would be it and

44
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,840
they put the can light in a
public area and then he would

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,400
have to.
The way that you could win was

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720
to kick the can and he would
catch certain people.

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,040
He'd spot you and touch you and
then you had to come over to

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,960
where the can was and then
somebody would have to sneak in

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,160
and kick the can to free
everybody up.

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,880
That is totally not what I
thought it was.

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,160
It's dumb.
It's it's really.

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,160
That sounds like capture the
flag to some degree.

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,600
It's, it's a lot like that, but
it's more, you know, at least

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,560
from what I remember.
But I remember Army being the

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,640
coolest thing 'cause we would
get, we would get sticks that

56
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,520
had like a little front on them
in the back and you'd hold them

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,840
like it was a machine gun,
'cause we would watch combat and

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,600
silly things like that.
We would go out in the woods and

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,680
we'd pretend and we'd throw
grenades and oh, you're blowing

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,360
up.
No, I'm not.

61
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,240
You're blowing up.
And then you punch the guy in

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,800
the face and then then you, then
that's the end of it.

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Yeah, well, I grew up too, not
really watching sports, but

64
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,080
playing them.
I think I did fencing one year.

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,400
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, I remember that.

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,480
That was that was funny.
Well, it's sort of like your

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,840
mother was much more into
getting you to try a lot of

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,200
different things, which is very,
you know, she was very good at

69
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,200
that.
And that's why I'm a

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,240
cosmopolitan today, you know?
Let's try this, let's try that.

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Let's try this.
It's why are you judging it

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
before you get to do it?
You'd be like, fuck, I don't

73
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120
want to do this.
But she would.

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,320
She would, you know, browbeat
you into actually getting you to

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640
do it.
And then you'd find out many

76
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,520
times that you liked it.
I liked hockey for a while,

77
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,560
yeah.
Hockey.

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Hockey you did for five years.
Wait, was that really five

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,320
years?
Yeah, it was five years.

80
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:49,920
What age is?
Crazy.

81
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Do you remember?
I don't remember how old I was

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,240
then.
I think you were, it was weird.

83
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,000
You were eight or nine and you,
you were 8 and I was no, maybe

84
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,560
12.
You did it to 12.

85
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Did I really?
Five years.

86
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Yeah, 'cause you were like, you
were 12 and you're like, I'm

87
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,320
just not having fun anymore.
Well, because of all of the

88
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,480
people, because I think this was
going into 7th grade or no, No,

89
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,920
right.
Yeah, right.

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,440
That's it when I was.
Playing hockey in elementary

91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,519
school.
Yes.

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360
No, I wasn't really.
Yeah, you were.

93
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:21,760
I was.
Was I?

94
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:26,240
I remember you on the ice.
I was there at every practice,

95
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,760
every game, remember, because I
didn't have a job.

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,120
You were unemployed at that
point.

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,960
I was homeless.
And I well, it was after I sold

98
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,080
the first company, OK.
And so I had like. 2005.

99
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960
I told everybody I was retired,
you know, so it's probably you

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,000
did it in O 6, you know, so I
would and I don't even.

101
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,040
Remember being that small
though.

102
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Oh, you were tiny.
Because the funniest thing is

103
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,600
you guys were like Pee Wee
League.

104
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,600
You were the smallest you could
be and you would go out on the

105
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,120
ice you put out.
It took you like half an hour to

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000
put everything on 'cause there's
so much stuff.

107
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,400
We're going to Fact Check this
'cause I want to call mom after

108
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,080
this.
You would.

109
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Do you remember what ages I
started 'cause I don't remember

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640
being 6, right?
I don't remember that.

111
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120
And I don't remember it being
five years either.

112
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,960
I remember.
It you were on the ice, you were

113
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,640
on the ice and you had a couple
buddies there and, and you would

114
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,120
put on your masks and all your
gear and you would punch each

115
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,800
other as hard as you could in
the face and knock each other

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,320
down and laugh.
And you'd like to do that more

117
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,960
than you'd like to hold a stick
and skate around on the ice.

118
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,320
But once you got on the ice, if
you hit somebody, you know

119
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,960
they'd fall down and then you'd
laugh.

120
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,840
You know, I might have been 14
when I stopped.

121
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,400
That makes more sense.
You were, you were like you

122
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,520
were, now you were, you were
doing 11 league and one

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,760
practice, which when you're in a
league, you have one practice

124
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:59,520
and one game every week.
And you had a trainer once a

125
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,920
week.
And people came to us and said

126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,160
if you really want to make it,
you have to join 2 leagues.

127
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,640
So when you do 2 leagues,
there's two leagues in the area.

128
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080
They actually practiced on
opposite days and they played on

129
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,920
opposite days.
And that way you could get 4

130
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,880
days of hockey in a week.
And then you were supposed to

131
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,680
hire a trainer who's supposed to
train you twice a week.

132
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,640
And we were like six days a
week.

133
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,640
And when you started, I think
you started, you may have

134
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,000
started at 8:00.
And they were like, well, it's,

135
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,480
you know, it's too late.
I remember that.

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,920
It was so funny.
And and the moms were like

137
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,920
absolutely serious about their
guys being professional hockey

138
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,520
players.
And I was thinking like, your

139
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,080
kid is 8, you know, and we're
not in Canada cause nobody that

140
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,400
doesn't play in Eastern Europe
or Canada is actually any good

141
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,680
at this sport.
You're, you're good.

142
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,560
It's kind of like wanting to be
a professional skateboarder and

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,200
not living in LA.
You're in California, Yeah.

144
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,520
OK, when you're in California,
you have like, you have a huge,

145
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,680
huge upside opportunity.
Same thing as skiers, like

146
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,640
downhill skiers.
They come out of Colorado, they

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,040
come out of Alps, they come out
of because they're doing it

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,080
every day.
They're, I mean every.

149
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920
Single I remember meeting people
that were in Colorado talking

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,520
about the days of the year they
get skiing and it was like 60 or

151
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,800
70 or something and then I've.
Only got I've only got 85 this

152
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,760
year and I remember hearing that
I'm like holy crap.

153
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,480
I remember the the year that I
worked the hardest was 35 on the

154
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,160
East Coast.
And you were thinking and.

155
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,280
That was a hard, those were hard
numbers to get.

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Yeah.
And you're thinking to yourself

157
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,040
like, Oh my gosh.
And these guys do twice that

158
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800
exactly.
You know, remember when we went

159
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,320
to when we went to Turkey and we
were on that boat and that one

160
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,760
guy was a downhill skier?
Yeah, yeah, I remember that the

161
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,360
speed skier or whatever it is,
but he.

162
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,840
Stopped 'cause he fell.
You know, like 100 miles an hour

163
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040
or something.
Yeah, and he broke his arm and

164
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,840
his back and his leg and, and
you know, and you're like, whoa,

165
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,960
you know, when he was like 14
and he was like thinking he

166
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,080
might get back into it or
something, but you were like,

167
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880
probably not.
I'll never, I.

168
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,840
He said I'll never be able to go
as fast as I did before, 'cause

169
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,480
now I have AI, have doubt.
And I remember just like someone

170
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,320
that's that young, that's
already got that mindset, it's

171
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,960
like, whoa, well.
That was the whole thing about

172
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:43,080
falling on a skateboard is, I
think it was 19 or 18 and I

173
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,680
thought I broke my leg and I was
driving my car home and I

174
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:49,240
couldn't feel anything below my
knee.

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,680
And it was like, it was very
interesting.

176
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,720
And then I didn't skateboard for
five years.

177
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,080
It changed your it changed your
mindset when you get hurt doing

178
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,600
something.
Yeah.

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,440
And then you're like, well, why?
I don't really have to do this,

180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,600
you know, It's not like.
That why did I did the forward

181
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,760
face plant on skis on 7 springs
coming.

182
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Down the hill.
And I slid and I literally dug A

183
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:21,320
trench right up to a log and I
didn't hit the log and I had a

184
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,200
helmet on, you know.
And when I did that, I didn't, I

185
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,120
didn't ski for like, I don't
know, a year, two years after

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400
that.
But I remember people going

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,840
overhead in their, what is it
the, the gallows?

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,200
No, in the gondola.
And they yelled down to me, are

189
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,520
you OK?
Are you OK?

190
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,520
Do we need to call an ambulance?
And I was just like, because the

191
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,400
crash must have been spectacular
because I was flying down the

192
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,600
hill and I hooked something and
I did a forward face plant.

193
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,480
I'm a forward face plant.
See.

194
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,960
Like remember when you did the
scorpion with?

195
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,840
Oh yeah, yeah.
I did a forward face plant with

196
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,200
skis.
So skis, it's like, how stupid

197
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,200
do you have?
To Was this before or after you

198
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,120
broke your lower back?
Remember well, I never broke my

199
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,360
lower back.
Well, the herniated disc is what

200
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,320
I'm talking about.
Before.

201
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Yeah, maybe that will
contributed.

202
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,680
Do you ever think about that?
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely

203
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:30,000
before.
When your spine goes in that C

204
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,680
pattern.
Oh my.

205
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,040
I I know exactly what it feels
like still.

206
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,400
In the last time it happened, I
was 8.

207
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,960
Isn't that funny?
I know exactly the feeling of

208
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,480
when your your heels touch the
back of your head.

209
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Yeah, I know exactly what that
feels like still.

210
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,840
I remember that was just, that
was the most ugly thing.

211
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,800
You know, when you see your kid
get hurt, it's like, I'd seen

212
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,680
you all through, like,
childhood.

213
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,520
I mean, you, you were Mr.
Waterhead.

214
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,080
Well, I would love to get on top
of the chair and then dive onto

215
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,320
my head onto the ground 'cause
it was fun.

216
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,800
It was like I was preparing for
your head.

217
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Weighed more than the rest of
your body, so.

218
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:10,480
But still Dimes.
Yeah, but you would walk along

219
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,200
and it was so funny because.
But it was weird.

220
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920
You know, if you're walking on a
a rock, you would never fall.

221
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,320
Everything was perfect.
You're good.

222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,240
You get on a wooden floor, you
get a little unstable, you get

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,120
on stone, you're going to fall.
And when you hit the ground you

224
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,720
you hadn't figured out how to
put your arms in front of you

225
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000
yet.
So it was plunk and it was and I

226
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,440
don't know if parents know what
it sounds like when your kids

227
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,920
head hits concrete.
It is, it is, it is sickening.

228
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,880
It just it just does something
to the inside of your stomach,

229
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,440
you know, and then you go 123
and then the scream, you know,

230
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,440
and that was the same thing with
that was exactly the same thing

231
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,400
when you did that scorpion.
But the weirdest thing is when I

232
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,960
saw you like look up at me, the
top of your helmet all the way

233
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:03,440
around was split.
And so I knew that you hit the

234
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,680
ground like, because The thing
is, is we were skiing East

235
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:14,040
Coast, which was whitetail and
it was solid ice and you'd skied

236
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,280
ice before, but and Sibbony or
shamany when you were about 1

237
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,240
foot 7 tall.
So you were like much shorter,

238
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,160
you know?
That was the worst skiing I've

239
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880
ever done in my life.
Well, we got French Alps.

240
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Isn't that funny?
You ever think about that?

241
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,680
The worst skiing you've ever
done?

242
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,760
In your life, the worst game
I've ever done in a bad place.

243
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,480
In the world, I think that is
the weirdest thing in the world.

244
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,680
But we had the greatest time at
park were there that I've ever

245
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,520
had.
I don't even remember you.

246
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,640
You we would.
You would.

247
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:45,960
You guys wouldn't listen to me
the first day and I said you got

248
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,760
to stay up.
No, no, we got to go to sleep.

249
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,680
And I'm like, no, this is going
to I.

250
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,400
Like how you're complaining
about a nine year old not

251
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,360
wanting.
It wasn't you.

252
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,200
I was complaining about your
mother 'cause she was like, no,

253
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,960
no, you got to give just a
couple hours and I'm like,

254
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,880
you're not going to sleep over
there.

255
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,280
You're going to sleep six hours.
And you did.

256
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,880
Got to tough it.
Out and then and then we and

257
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,600
then we went and then, but every
night at 2:00 AM you would just,

258
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480
you'd pop up and so me and you
would leave.

259
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Where are you going?
We're just going to go for a

260
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,880
walk.
And it was a beautiful Christmas

261
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,800
town.
You know, Chamonix just, it's

262
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,320
all it's, it's like, it's like
that shit that you buy and you

263
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,280
and you like a little scene.
You know, there's, it was just

264
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,000
so, and it was snowing and it
had, and it had the Christmas

265
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,560
sleigh and everything.
And The funny thing is you would

266
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:35,240
go out and the, and the, and the
buildings over there had really

267
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,720
cool, like stone faces and stuff
that you'd climb up and you

268
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,560
would climb up all these
different buildings and run

269
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,760
across the rooftops.
And you were like, I don't know,

270
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,560
8 years old, seven.
It was just, it was funny.

271
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,880
And I, and I thought it was
cool.

272
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,320
And then you come down and
you're like, what are all those

273
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,240
people doing?
And, and it was all the bars

274
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,880
were closing.
So they were all coming out in

275
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,200
the store.
All the drunks were coming out

276
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,720
and they'd see me.
You were walking around and

277
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,800
they'd.
Be like, that's odd.

278
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,080
I'm like this man with this
young boy.

279
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,600
Who are these people?
I bought you at the market.

280
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,680
Yeah, you sure did at the the
French market where you buy the

281
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,720
rabbits.
But what else was that?

282
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,360
Yeah, No, there was a lot of
stuff.

283
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,240
I never really swam
competitively.

284
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,600
I remember a lot of people did
that.

285
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,560
There was swim team.
You were like, I'm not going out

286
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,160
there.
It's cold.

287
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,080
Exactly.
Maybe out there in October.

288
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,760
And I was like, I'm not doing
that.

289
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Like I don't wanna.
Yeah, I'm not cold.

290
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,920
The, the, the, the big deal was
that they started early and it

291
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360
was, it was kind of like a thing
that got people together.

292
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Same thing with the the
basketball was they.

293
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,520
Ended the late.
I didn't know they started

294
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,320
early.
I guess it.

295
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Yeah, they started.
They, they, they it was just, it

296
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,400
was kind of weird, you know, But
but there were like cliques in

297
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,320
the neighborhood.
And that's the reason you play

298
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,200
base basketball is because one
of your friends was in

299
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,960
basketball and there was a click
in the basketball and you would

300
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
get in.
But then you know, you if you're

301
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,000
odd man out, you don't get to
play.

302
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,120
The only thing you only thing
you get to do is practice.

303
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,480
And it was the same thing with
baseball.

304
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,160
Baseball, you were so
uncoordinated.

305
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,040
You know, I, I.
Just was hands down probably the

306
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,520
worst athlete of all time except
for running.

307
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,600
Running was really the only you.
Were good at hockey.

308
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,720
I mean, you were.
You were.

309
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,960
Was I?
I don't even think I you.

310
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,680
Weren't good at hockey, you were
good at skating.

311
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,280
Oh, it was really good at
skating.

312
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Yeah.
No, no, I was an excellent

313
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,600
skater.
And but the puck handling and

314
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,240
things like that, I never really
could have that.

315
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,960
You never got that.
No, I got that.

316
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,440
Yeah, I know.
Even though I would do the

317
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,120
whatever it was.
All the drills.

318
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,040
Yeah, the all the drills up in
the summer thing.

319
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,600
Whatever.
Hardcore hockey.

320
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,760
Apparently that guy got slammed
for domestic violence recently.

321
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,760
I met a woman, not a.
Shocker years in the audience.

322
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,080
Go ahead.
And she's like, yeah, I worked

323
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,600
at Reston Ice Rink.
And I was like, I was like, oh,

324
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,440
did you know the hardcore hockey
people?

325
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,280
I used to do that all the time.
She's like, yeah, I knew that

326
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,200
guy.
I was like, what was the guy's

327
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,760
name that used to spit on the
ice?

328
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,360
And she knew his name.
I, I forgot it.

329
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,800
So forgettable.
Yeah, about his name.

330
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,520
But he got slammed for not only
domestic violence, but I think

331
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,640
he started beating the kids at
the hardcore hockey thing 'cause

332
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,800
he would make it seem like it
was somebody that never got into

333
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,600
the Marines that wanted to be a
Marine.

334
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,880
And I'm like, this is a sport
for 9 year olds.

335
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,160
And you're I, I think that's so
funny when they become so

336
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,000
superficial at these things
really don't matter at all,

337
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,720
right?
You know, like all you got to do

338
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,880
is watch them and that's it.
But that's.

339
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,320
Well, I mean, I remember your
football coach was that way.

340
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,640
Oh, the guy that pulled my mask?
Pilcher, Pilcher, whatever the

341
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,800
hell was saying was.
See you watching the girls on

342
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,200
the playground.
If you want to go over there,

343
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,760
I'll take your helmet off.
You can play with them.

344
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,280
He's like and then you know
what's funny though is you

345
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,360
preface that by saying I told my
son the same thing and I'm like

346
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,360
good looking back at that.
I was like, how dare a 7 year

347
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,280
old want to have fun, You know
like that's just my.

348
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Stuff.
Well, you guys were over there

349
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,480
Like messing with each other and
running around the thing and he

350
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,160
and you weren't fully paying
attention to the football game,

351
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,839
which he didn't put you in
anyway.

352
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,960
Yeah, exactly.
And he, he, he'd give you 2

353
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,079
minutes of time over 60 minutes.
And you did some.

354
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,520
You were actually a pretty good
lineman, defensive lineman.

355
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,200
Well, that was the first year.
I think you're talking about the

356
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,960
second year now.
Yeah.

357
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,839
The second year, The second year
was just a shit show.

358
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,800
It really.
Yeah, yeah.

359
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,560
I tried.
I tried to be there the first,

360
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,160
the first year the guy was
really, really he you guys lost

361
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,520
most games, but he was a.
Oh, we lost every single game.

362
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,920
He was a good person, was he?
Yeah, he was.

363
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,960
He was a good person.
The.

364
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Guy that was always like, we're
going to pray to.

365
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,880
Jesus, No, no, not that football
game today.

366
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,920
That was Pilcher.
That was from Bob's.

367
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:50,880
Whatever.
But.

368
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:56,440
Oh, Bob knew him.
No, I was going to say Bob the

369
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,320
Builder and the cat.
Yeah, 'cause the cat's name was

370
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Pilcher.
That's pretty funny, yeah.

371
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,440
Yeah, same thing.
But he was, he's really serious.

372
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,680
He was a Bible school guy.
I, you know, whatever.

373
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,320
But I always love praying to God
to win something because isn't

374
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,000
the whole ass that pistiligent
to not use it as a vessel to

375
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,400
alter your world but you have to
use it as a mindset to better

376
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,520
yourself.
Like I didn't really I.

377
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,800
Think it's fine.
I think it's fine if you want to

378
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,040
do that, but I think the idea
that you got attacked on

379
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,080
everybody's feet there is just
is wrong, especially when

380
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,920
they're kids.
I think it's just it's.

381
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,200
Well, it's institutionalization,
right?

382
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,840
And that's.
What well, it would be, it would

383
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,520
be the same thing as if I was to
stand there and be the coach and

384
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,080
and and you wanted to cross your
arms or something and do some

385
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,880
God thing and I and I, but you
can't do that because it offends

386
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,880
me.
Exactly.

387
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,360
You know, it's like same thing.
I'm, I'm going to force atheism

388
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,280
on you, which I, you know, I
don't, I, you can believe

389
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,560
anything you want.
Just please don't try to tack to

390
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,720
the soles of my feet or my kid,
you know, and that, and that's

391
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,800
one of the times that I was weak
and I didn't do anything because

392
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,240
he was, he was, he was doing the
whole cross thing.

393
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,600
And I, and I really, I should
have said something.

394
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,800
I should have said something.
I look back, you know, that's

395
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,600
one of my regrets.
If I was to write them down,

396
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,720
it's like, dude, don't, don't do
that.

397
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,440
You have no right to push your
religious views on my child.

398
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,360
Don't do it.
Very weird now that I look back

399
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,000
at that.
Well, I look back at a lot of

400
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,920
the conditioning stuff that we
would do in young kids sports

401
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,640
when I was 7 even.
Hockey.

402
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,960
The hardcore hockey game,
remember.

403
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:37,480
That Oh, I totally forgot about
that.

404
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,680
Yeah.
Summer golf game.

405
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,120
Yeah, I was terrible at that
too.

406
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,760
Really bad and everything.
Really, really bad at pretty

407
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,120
much everything when I was a kid
except running in high school,

408
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,840
and I finally figured out how.
To yeah, you were better at

409
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,360
running.
That was the only thing that I

410
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:53,360
was moderately good at and I
wasn't even good at that to that

411
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,280
degree.
Like I ran a 5 minute mile, but

412
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,520
that's not I think any high
schooler can really do a 5

413
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,280
minute mile if they're pushed
hard enough.

414
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Except I think.
Like there's no, there's no shot

415
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,000
I can run 5 minute mile right
now.

416
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,320
I'm not in high school though
anymore so.

417
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,680
Yeah, but I'm just thinking
about the obesity level of kids

418
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,080
in school now.
It's just off the charts, so I

419
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,600
thought.
We were second or third now and

420
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,720
we're no longer first.
I thought that's what that was.

421
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:17,120
Well, that kind of sucks.
I.

422
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:20,360
Thought Mexico replaced us I
guess.

423
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,880
Somebody told me that the other
day.

424
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,760
You think they just deported a
bunch of Americans?

425
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,760
That'd be really funny.
Oh my gosh.

426
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,680
Yeah.
Well, let's see.

427
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,960
Let's see.
I'm actually curious.

428
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,760
Yeah.
Let's see what is.

429
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Yeah, but I remember you're the
reason you did hockey of all

430
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,040
weird sports is that your mother
was she said he's clumsy.

431
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,560
He's really clumsy.
You know, you couldn't, I mean,

432
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,000
standing up, you would fall
over.

433
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,200
And she was that way too.
She she would the one that would

434
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,200
trip over her own feet when she
was standing still.

435
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,760
And she's, and her mother put
her in ice skating and she, I, I

436
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,440
mean, last time I saw her skate,
she could skate backwards, which

437
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:02,960
to me is really cool on one foot
and do a circle and, and you,

438
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,800
you, you could, you learned your
balance and all the kind of

439
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,040
stuff when from skating.
So it's, it's succeeded at doing

440
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,360
that.
And it's just like when we put

441
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,520
you in the private school, the
exercise stuff and all that

442
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,960
running, even though you weren't
Mr. Super Speedo Guy, the idea

443
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,080
that every single day you were
forced to do some type of

444
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,720
exercise that I think instilled
this lifelong exercise thing

445
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,160
with you.
And that's why you lift weights.

446
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,120
I guess, I don't know, I started
smoking weed towards the tail

447
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:41,800
end of it when I was when I
broke my knee and then I broke

448
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,200
my ankle and then skateboarding
was more fun.

449
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,000
It always was more fun than
running.

450
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,880
Yeah, but that's that.
Skateboarding is not the drug

451
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,400
addicts.
Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong,

452
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,760
but at the same time, it's in
the Olympics now, so you can

453
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,200
only say that.
I had a dad, I had AI had a dad

454
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,760
tell me that.
Really.

455
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,560
I don't want to do that.
I don't know.

456
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240
There's some skateboarders that
I know that have are winding up

457
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,720
pretty successful that I grew up
with.

458
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,800
So that's pretty crazy.
Yeah.

459
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,000
Or at least have a consistent
job network.

460
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,720
Yeah, I think that's the, when
you start to look at it, it's

461
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,680
like you're, you're, you're.
I would think to ascribe my

462
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,320
values or views on some other
parents is, is that we want our

463
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,760
kids to be happy, healthy and
the ability to earn a living at

464
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,600
whatever they love or like to
do, you know, and so that's.

465
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,920
Cool.
Well you got to be top 4

466
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,680
skateboarders in the world.
It's now more than ever because

467
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,800
you used to have ways that you
could sell boards easier because

468
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,520
the industry was larger.
And now the industry is not that

469
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,520
large, it's a lot smaller and
it's over saturated.

470
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,560
So you tell me.
You tell me how awesome that

471
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,200
market is, right?
And then the boards, I think you

472
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,560
make like only $10 on each board
you sell, but you really want a

473
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,000
shoe line.
That's what you want more so

474
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,920
than anything, because the
percentage of Commission on per

475
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,400
shoe sale is way higher than a
board, right?

476
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,040
Because.
Because they have the guys from

477
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,360
Bangladesh, No Vietnam.
Exactly.

478
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,480
It's not pressed wood.
Pressed wood is hard to make.

479
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
I mean, it's not.
You got to have all these

480
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,240
things.
Whereas a shoe, you just sew it

481
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,400
together with strength.
Yeah.

482
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,000
With.
The seven with the three

483
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,600
seven-year olds.
Exactly.

484
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,440
But that's what always I still
enjoy skateboarding.

485
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,160
I'm still not terrible at it,
but I'm I'm still pretty good,

486
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,360
yeah.
It's an exercise vehicle to.

487
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,960
You burn a lot of calories doing
that.

488
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,840
It's crazy, man.
More than you would think.

489
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,160
More than you would think,
definitely.

490
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,720
Yeah, I mean, I think about my
my sports as a kid.

491
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:48,320
I did Little League baseball,
Single A, AA, AAA majors, so

492
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,320
four years.
Oh, you did majors too?

493
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,240
Yeah, Yeah, I did.
I did four years, no, five years

494
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,360
of baseball and I was like
catcher, I was pretty good at

495
00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:58,200
catcher.
I could hit.

496
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,720
I could, you know, by second
year I could, I could put a ball

497
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,560
to the second baseman without,
you know, anything.

498
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,720
I, I had the power to do that.
I could throw somebody out at

499
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,040
3rd.
I could throw somebody out at

500
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,400
first if they bunted.
I mean, I, I had a lot of skill

501
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,640
that way and I could throw a
rock, you know, and it came from

502
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,800
my throw rock days 'cause we
used to practice on throwing

503
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,560
rocks at kids that we didn't
like.

504
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,520
And, and they, and they practice
on me.

505
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,840
That's why I have a pointy head
cause I've been hitting the head

506
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,880
so many times.
But the.

507
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,960
Thing is, too, what's funny
about being a kid is you think

508
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,640
that you're just born with these
skills that like, you're either

509
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,000
good to something or you're not,
and that's it.

510
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,760
And as you get older, you
realize that, no, there's a lot

511
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,040
of accumulated time that you put
in something that makes you good

512
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,120
at something.
And that because I remember

513
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,320
thinking, I still remember
thinking that I'm like, oh,

514
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,280
these people are just naturally
good at this.

515
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,680
And now, little did I know that
the hockey players were waking

516
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,240
up at 5:00 AM to go to practice
before middle school and

517
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,320
elementary, even in elementary,
because I remember 5th and 6th

518
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,800
grade, they were waking up.
They were making 10 year olds

519
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,400
wake up at 4/30 5:00 in the
morning to go to practice before

520
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,800
going to elementary school.
That's crazy.

521
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,040
That's crazy.
Think about Brady when he's, you

522
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,000
know, he's, he's 39 and it's
during the summer.

523
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,560
What is his name?
You know, the head of the

524
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,800
Patriots, the quarterback for
Tom Brady.

525
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,320
You mean Tom Brady?
And he's, and you, and you hear

526
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,560
the story and it's like, and
he's out there with Shaq and

527
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,200
they're doing a celebrity golf
tournament in July.

528
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:48,400
And Shaq pulls in and sees Tom
Brady running sprints in the

529
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,440
parking lot.
He's 39 years old and you're

530
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,600
like, or 38, something like
that.

531
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,840
And he gets out and he looks and
he's like, what are you?

532
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,360
What are you doing?
You know, And he goes getting

533
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:07,440
ready for the Super Bowl.
I mean, that's.

534
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,360
Yeah, that's a removal
commitment.

535
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,880
Or you see, who's the guy that
died in the helicopter.

536
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,440
Oh, Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant, when you when you

537
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:24,520
listen to him talk about what he
did and it's like, OK, people

538
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,840
would meet him and they're going
like, oh, he's like works out

539
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,560
all the time.
He does this all the time.

540
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,200
He's probably going to show up
at 5:00 tomorrow and then they

541
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,680
show up at 5:00 and he's already
been working out for now.

542
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,920
Oh well.
You know, and you just like and

543
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,200
he goes and that's what he would
say.

544
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,360
He would say I'll look at you.
And he goes, well, I know I can

545
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,040
beat you.
Not because I'm a better shot or

546
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,400
this, that and the other.
I just know that I can work

547
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,200
harder and I will work harder
than you.

548
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,000
If you show up and and you
listen to Tyson, he would say

549
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,880
the same thing.
If you get up, if you get up at

550
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,040
8:00, I get up at 7, you get up
at 7:00, I get up at six, you

551
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,480
get up at 6, I get up at 5, you
get up at 5:00, I get up at 4,

552
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,600
you get up at 3:00, I stay up
all night.

553
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,280
And you're just like in the way
he said it.

554
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,280
I mean, he would get up in the
morning at 7:00 in the morning

555
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,520
in New York and to build his
stamina, he would walk until

556
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:26,760
8:00 at night, just walk because
he, he believed that strength

557
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,640
and legs, which allowed him to
do that uppercut power punch was

558
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,640
like the most important thing.
And he was right.

559
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,560
You know, that's, that's the
reason that he could go down to

560
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,720
a full crouching position in
front of somebody at lightning

561
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,400
speed and rise up with his full
body weight and knock them out

562
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,400
and one punch and 9 seconds into
a match.

563
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,720
That's why he had, I mean, the
dude did not stop.

564
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,640
There are very few people that
are exceptional at what they do

565
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,720
that don't do it.
I, I, I don't, it'd be hard to

566
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,480
find someone that's, you know,
and let's talk about a lot of,

567
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,080
you know, it's like when you
think about sports, those guys,

568
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,320
they, they have talent and they
may have the ability like, like

569
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,640
you would never be, I don't care
how much you'd, well, you could

570
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,640
be a good baseball player, you
might be even above average, but

571
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,320
you would never be exceptional
'cause you don't have you, you

572
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,200
don't have this eye hand kind of
thing.

573
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,280
Me.
You're talking about me

574
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,440
specifically.
Well, there's also a whole thing

575
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,040
about pitching and you know
what?

576
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,400
There there's something about I
think only a certain amount of

577
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,400
people can be pitchers in the
world because pitched well.

578
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Did you throw a 90 mile an hour
fastball?

579
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,080
No mine was like about.
Mine was like 85.

580
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,160
No, it wasn't.
Was it really?

581
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,680
No, well, no.
I was like, it was a Little

582
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,240
League I.
Pitched.

583
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,560
Oh, it was Little League.
Oh yeah, Majors.

584
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480
I pitched until the majors, but
I mean, we lost.

585
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,360
Majors high school.
That's not high school, is it?

586
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,320
No majors is like middle school
8th or 8th, middle school 7th,

587
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,840
8th grade about then that's it.
That's when you start 9th.

588
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,560
Grade Indians in your arm to the
tear.

589
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,040
I don't know.
And I think that also has to do

590
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,920
with.
Johnny.

591
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,000
The picture you're going to be
for how long?

592
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,760
Yeah.
It's, it's so sad.

593
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,960
It's so sad when where you see
people.

594
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,360
Donnie Appleseed.
Johnny, what is it called?

595
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,760
They put like an ostrich tendon
in your arm or something?

596
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,120
Yeah.
They do all sorts of things,

597
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Tommy John.
There we go, Tommy.

598
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,240
John, that's it.
Which is 2 guys first names.

599
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,280
But no, no, you, you think about
it.

600
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,040
But those guys, they, they not
only have the talent, but they

601
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,480
have that matched with the drive
and the ability to go after

602
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,240
something.
And it's like, I think about it.

603
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,040
I think about it.
I mean, my skill set is in the

604
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,000
business side.
And I remember going to business

605
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,160
going, you know, no matter how
late we drank our faces off on a

606
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:04,400
Tuesday night and sleep in an
alley in downtown DC, it's 7:30.

607
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,280
I was there the next day.
I may have been a little fuzzy,

608
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,040
but I was there and I was
working and I was producing and

609
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,400
I would do that and I and there
was just because I was like, it

610
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,240
was, I was just driven to do it,
you know, and well.

611
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,920
The only other option too, I
think after the the mortgage,

612
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,480
right, the second mortgage to do
the drives was homelessness,

613
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,960
right?
I think that was that.

614
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,000
No, no.
Your your mother was making like

615
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,880
90 grand a year.
Oh, really?

616
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,320
I could have.
Yeah, I could have been.

617
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,800
I could have been bitch boy.
I mean, I really could have

618
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,400
been, it could have been and you
know, I could have been the guy

619
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,080
that was the failure husband
that went to work for the

620
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,560
government 'cause I could have
like dropped back and taken a

621
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,400
'cause I had a college degree
and that at that time.

622
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,280
That was actually valued and
people actually cared about

623
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,600
those things.
Yeah, you could get AGS 5, you

624
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,920
know.
Yeah, I could get in.

625
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,800
I could get into the government
at a low level.

626
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,280
I could have worked at a as a
researcher making a certain

627
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,080
amount of money.
So for me, it was just like the,

628
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,000
I mean, the only thing is, is
that it would, it would have

629
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,240
significantly hurt US
financially.

630
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,080
And I don't know what that would
have done to us.

631
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Because you know, when you see,
if, if we were to go through

632
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,760
financial stress, it would be,
it's, it's hard, you know, and

633
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:30,240
I, I, I was in it my whole
childhood where every single

634
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,720
conversation that you have
starts with how much does it

635
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160
cost?
And you don't have a

636
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,480
conversation, you don't have a
conversation with anyone.

637
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,560
If you looked at me and you
said, I mean, like in our house,

638
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,480
no one would have played hockey
because the equipment cost too

639
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,360
much.
Oh yeah, no, no, the overhead.

640
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,200
We couldn't have, we couldn't
have afforded the bag to carry

641
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,240
the equipment.
The bag itself is crazy.

642
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,040
The bag was a. 100 bucks or 80
bucks and then if you want to

643
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,160
put a brand on it, it was a 1:40
and you're just like why would

644
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,600
you put, you know the these guys
on it for 40 ice?

645
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,120
Skates sticker ice skates were
crazy.

646
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,080
Yeah, and the better.
Oh, you got to get the good.

647
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,280
You got to get these.
You got to get these, you know,

648
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,880
and you're like the what's the
better?

649
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,680
We were in a position.
What?

650
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Are you talking about the
better?

651
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,760
Well, the best ice skates were
like.

652
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,640
Oh, you mean better ice skate?
I was like, what do you say?

653
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,000
They were, I mean, they were
$350.00 for a pair of ice

654
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,880
skates.
No one can afford that.

655
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,240
That's crazy.
And this was 2009 and and, but,

656
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:39,680
but let us remember that you're
nine years old, so this is a one

657
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,760
season.
And 1/2.

658
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,880
Maybe 2 that you get to wear
these, otherwise then you got to

659
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,160
do it again.
It's really unfortunate, too,

660
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,040
that I stopped doing that sport
when I stopped growing, you

661
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,320
know, Why couldn't I have gotten
into it when I start?

662
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,680
Man, you can't really do that
day.

663
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Nobody's playing ice hockey and
they start when they're 15.

664
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,240
Nobody does that.
Yeah, I don't think so 'cause

665
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,040
you are so far behind skating
wise that you're just not doing

666
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,280
it.
There's no shot.

667
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:14,560
Maybe like field hockey, but
like, not ice hockey.

668
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,360
Like I don't know anybody that's
getting when you're 1415, you're

669
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,200
that's way too late.
You could skate.

670
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,520
I could still skate pretty well,
yeah.

671
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,080
You could take a stick and you
could take a puck and you could

672
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,280
and then you could learn how to
handle.

673
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,800
You can now understand it.
You.

674
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,720
Know you now understand how,
what are the motions and

675
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,840
movements?
Because when you're that young,

676
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,600
you don't understand.
It's like when I played

677
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,720
football, they would tell you
tackle that guy, you know, that

678
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,640
was it.
It was no like there was no,

679
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,000
well, you go left and you go
right and then fake and then

680
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,200
move through the middle and then
up, up and he blocked this guy

681
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,240
and this is what's going to
happen.

682
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,640
They didn't tell you that.
They would say knock that fucker

683
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,800
out, you know, and that was it.
Stop him, hurt him, say

684
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,480
something.
I mean, I remember.

685
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Step on his face.
I played football one season and

686
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,360
we were first place.
We're second place in the

687
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,400
district.
First we were like first place

688
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,679
conference champions.
We're conference champions.

689
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:11,840
And then we played and I played
minimally.

690
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,920
I happen to be on a team with
the quarterback.

691
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:19,880
Turned out he was a he was a
football star and a baseball

692
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,920
star.
He became a pitcher and he

693
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,760
pitched for the major leagues.
So Sullivan, Oh my God, you

694
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,880
know, I mean, the people on the
team were, you know, they were

695
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,400
amazing at everybody was amazing
athlete and there were people

696
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,639
that were just freaking hulks.
There was one guy, Perry Botto,

697
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,159
I remember him.
He was like.

698
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:44,120
That's a spider man name.
We're in, we're in 4th grade or

699
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,239
fifth grade and he's probably in
6th grade.

700
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,280
He is literally a foot taller
than everyone.

701
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:53,560
And you just give him the ball
and you just run up the middle

702
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,880
and, and you'd say, hey, we're
going to give the ball to this

703
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,240
guy.
Let's see a tackle him now he

704
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,040
can still get 4 yards.
And you only need, I remember

705
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,480
the the coach showing us, he
said you need 3 1/3 yards every

706
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,960
play to March all the way down
the field.

707
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,520
So if you can just go this and
he would do, if you can just go

708
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,880
this, this, this far, If you can
just go this far, being 3.4

709
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160
yards, 4 yards of carry.
If you knew 4 yards of carry,

710
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,760
you'll win every game, every
single game.

711
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,960
No one, no one, because you
know, and he would, you know, if

712
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,480
you wanted 4 yards, he'd take
it.

713
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,720
He could get usually 6 or 8
because he wasn't fast, but he

714
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:40,200
was just a monster and and he
would see it would take four or

715
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,360
five people on their team to
bring him down.

716
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,120
You don't really think about it
now, boys.

717
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,920
I think is the sweating
underneath pads is the nastiest

718
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,840
feeling in the world.
Like I don't know, I think when

719
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,160
you're a kid the sensory kind of
thing is not a big deal.

720
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,920
But now being covered in pants
and sweating for 2 1/2 hours

721
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,360
would make me want to die.
I don't know.

722
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,640
I I, I just don't.
I think the worst way, sweat

723
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,800
being pressed up against my
skin.

724
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,720
You when you went away to skate
camp and you came back.

725
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,560
Skate camp?
Oh, you mean skateboard camp?

726
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,840
Yeah, when you did that, you
came back and we would pick you

727
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,200
up.
We would have to like I was. 11

728
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,800
years old and I did not shower.
Yeah.

729
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,480
And we would have to take you to
like, at first we didn't realize

730
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,880
what it was, but when you get in
the truck, you're like, Oh my

731
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,880
God, what in the hell?
A shower Wednesday.

732
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,760
It's Saturday, dude.
No, I didn't shower the whole

733
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,600
time.
No, you jumped in the wait.

734
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,840
Your shower was you jumped in
the lake.

735
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,040
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You jumped in the lake, OK, that

736
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,320
that was the shower and it was
not.

737
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,960
And you're just like.
Thinking about that now is I'd

738
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,880
be itchy, I get itchy.
That's what would happen.

739
00:36:56,240 --> 00:37:01,800
I get itchy in my my later late
20s a lot more than when I was

740
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,680
younger, you know?
I get swamp ass you're.

741
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,600
You're itchy, man, though you're
itchy all the.

742
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,440
Time.
Yeah, well, I got something.

743
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,400
I don't know what it is, we're
trying to figure it out, but

744
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,560
that it happens all the time.
But no, no mine.

745
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:19,040
My worst smelling ever was
climbing Kilimanjaro.

746
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,960
Oh yeah.
With that, you know, well, I

747
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,480
kind of wonder if it wasn't
pretty bad on Guatemala when we

748
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,760
did Santa Maria because we had
drunk.

749
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,400
Well, that was one day though.
That was you and I drank a

750
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,360
bottle of vodka and then we
climbed that thing and all of it

751
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,320
came out of us.
I'm.

752
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,520
Surprised I wasn't itchy on that
because when I heavy drink and

753
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,000
then I sweat a lot the next day.
Your skin burns because of the

754
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,880
residual alcohol that's coming
out of the.

755
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,360
Pores, right?
I was thinking we should slide a

756
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,680
match near you.
Yeah, maybe we do.

757
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,040
We drink a bottle of vodka.
I don't even remember that.

758
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,720
Well, that's probably why, but
yeah.

759
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,480
And we got up at 3:30 in the
morning.

760
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,800
I remember we went to bed at
like. 12 Maybe we just don't do

761
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,680
it.
Maybe we just hang out here and

762
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,680
we let them do it, you know?
I'm so glad we climbed that

763
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,800
mountain.
No, me too.

764
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,760
That was crazy.
And seeing the volcano erupt

765
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,720
when I was up there that was and
I watched it with some homeless

766
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:13,480
dog.
There's the homeless dog up.

767
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,920
There.
I was like, how do you live up

768
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,320
here?
That's what I was wondering.

769
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,160
Well.
Those ladies that came up, that

770
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,560
was so funny, 'cause I'm walking
up and I'm and these, these,

771
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,760
these little Guatemalan ladies,
because at the very top of Santa

772
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,600
Maria there is a, a place for
Catholics or something where

773
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:37,200
they, they have a, what do you
call it, a, a sacrifice stone or

774
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,840
you know, where they put things.
Sacrificial style, Yeah.

775
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,080
Where they put?
Stuff for memories from their

776
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,520
family Memories Religious center
and they would bring flowers up

777
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:50,640
and and you see these four or
five women that are like 4 foot

778
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,960
eight walking past you and
they're built like little tanks

779
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,960
and they just walk past you and
they're wearing sandals, you

780
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,280
know, wooden sandals and they
have ankle length, you know,

781
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,680
cotton dresses.
And they're just walking up and

782
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,680
they wear and they're all
wearing hats and they smile at

783
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,400
you and you wait and you say
hello and then they just walk

784
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,480
right past you and you're like,
Oh my God.

785
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,680
And they do not look like they
are fit in the least, but they

786
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,480
just sort of just like motor
past you.

787
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,520
And it was just, did they pass
you too?

788
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,560
No, no they didn't.
Yeah, it was just crazy.

789
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,920
I think about my cardiovascular
ability back then.

790
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,480
It was really good, even though
I was smoking all the time.

791
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,760
Yeah, you know well, because
you.

792
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,840
You had it from high school, I.
Had residual high school running

793
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,000
ability.
That's what it was.

794
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,960
Aerobically fit.
I will never be that aerobically

795
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,000
fit anymore unless I change now.
I would have to change now.

796
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,040
You know what's funny?
What I just.

797
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,080
I did 5 this morning.
Well, you didn't run it, that's

798
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,960
the thing.
But but the this guy that I went

799
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,000
to camp with, the skateboard
camp actually just placed for

800
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,720
what is it, international
championships for Iron Man?

801
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:04,920
That's crazy.
He runs like a 450 or some 444

802
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,400
hour 40 minute Iron Man.
And that's fucking crazy.

803
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,200
Well, you know the 100.
And 23 mile bike marathon in a

804
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,600
mile, swim in the ocean, mile
and a half, two.

805
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,400
Sorry 22.
Is it 2 for Iron Man 2?

806
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,120
Triathlon is just one then,
right?

807
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Oh, is that how that works?
'Cause Bob did Iron Man twice.

808
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,680
He did, twice.
This guy does them like all the

809
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:27,760
time.
And he did.

810
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,480
He did it in Hawaii.
Well, what was his time?

811
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,280
Do you remember?
17 hours and 27 seconds.

812
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,080
Oh wow.
No, I'm just kidding.

813
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,560
I just made that up.
But he did.

814
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:44,720
He did the the 26.6 mile, he
said the two 2 1/2 mile, 2 mile

815
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:51,080
swim in the ocean where you know
the waves are 8 feet and you're

816
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,560
swimming over the waves.
Oh, it's definitely not in four.

817
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:54,680
Hours.
What am I talking about?

818
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,480
Yeah, that's way too far.
Because the fastest one ever,

819
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,960
721.
Oh, because he was.

820
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,520
It wasn't 4 hours, 50 minutes.
He was placed 450.

821
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:06,040
That's what it was.
That's why I was misremembering.

822
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,400
I was thinking I'm like, yeah,
that's way too fast.

823
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,640
He does that, then he comes and
then you run 26.2 or 26.3 miles

824
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,960
and then you get on a bike and
it's 117 miles on the bike. 1:17

825
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,200
or 1:23. 123 I got.
I don't I don't know the exact

826
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,640
numbers.
But I don't know why it's that

827
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,920
many too.
But he did it twice, you know,

828
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,840
in Hawaii cause Hawaii is like.
112 let's.

829
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,200
See 112.
That's the original.

830
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,920
That's the original Iron Man.
That's. 112 Two point four mile

831
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,400
swim and then 26.2 mile run.
How do you do that?

832
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:44,600
I don't understand.
Swim.

833
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,400
It's the swim, the bike and then
the run.

834
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,760
Yeah, no, the swim, the run and
then the bike.

835
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,240
Right.
Yeah, that's some real athlete

836
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,200
stuff, man.
That's some real, real athletes

837
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,840
so.
It's, it's, it's athletic, but

838
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,920
it's also there's, there's, it's
a.

839
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,240
Mine thing?
Yeah, it's a mine thing.

840
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:06,880
Because when, when, when I
remember when doing the some of

841
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,600
the the harder climbs, I mean, I
didn't really do climb.

842
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,440
We did hike, hike UPS when
you're doing elevations, when

843
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,480
you, when you, when people say
they climb Kilimanjaro, there's

844
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,520
a little scramble at the end,
but it's not really climbing.

845
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,840
It's just you're just walking on
a slanted surface for for for

846
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,680
four days or 3 1/2 days or
whatever the case may be.

847
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,600
You're.
Walking up it and then you're

848
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,080
walking down and you, you don't
really, you know, don't have

849
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,600
crap ONS or none of those things
that you have to tie on to

850
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,280
things and do.
It's none of that stuff.

851
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:42,720
It's, it's, it's all just, and
you get into a mindset like it's

852
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:46,440
weird and, and I imagine that
when people play baseball or

853
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:52,760
basketball or whatever, when
they're in the mode that there's

854
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,640
a, there's a rhythm that comes
and your mind just sort of

855
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,400
drifts away.
We got to be used to doing that.

856
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,200
I just can't imagine.
You.

857
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,280
Know oh wow, I just ran this
marathon.

858
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,920
I can't wait for the bike.
Like what?

859
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Like I don't.
Understand.

860
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,320
But you wouldn't think ahead to
that.

861
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,520
I mean, I think, Oh my God, the
thing that I learned when I was

862
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,720
doing Kilimanjaro is like you,
You look at the ground and you

863
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:21,640
don't look up.
Because if you look up and you

864
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,040
see how far you have to go, but
if you look at the ground, you

865
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,640
only have to make the next step.
Well, I think the key too is

866
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,120
you're swimming and then you're
running, right?

867
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,120
And you're like, thank God I'm
not swimming right now.

868
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,720
And then when you get to the run
and after the run, you get to

869
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:34,160
the biking.
You're like, man, I'm so happy

870
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,400
I'm not running right now.
I think that's part of it,

871
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,440
right?
Or is the run last?

872
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,280
Is the run or is the bike last?
I thought I don't.

873
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,880
I think the run is last, yeah.
Yeah, that'd be hard.

874
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,280
For that sucks, I'd rather the
bike in the middle.

875
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,200
Really sucks.
Oh wow, I'd rather be bike at

876
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,680
the end, you know?
Yeah.

877
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,320
Oh my gosh.
Because then it's just a super

878
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,280
rot, yeah. 26 miles.
Yeah.

879
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Crazy.
Well, I don't know how.

880
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,120
What do we have for time here?
We have that are which are we,

881
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,680
Central Standard or Southern
Standard?

882
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:10,720
We're actually Antarctica time.
Antarctica time It is 45

883
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:12,240
minutes.
But 45 minutes?

884
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Let me let me say OK, golfing,
we did golfing.

885
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,920
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
We golfed.

886
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,560
I mean, I've golfed all over the
world.

887
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,200
You've got, you've got into that
for a couple of years.

888
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,040
Yeah, I well, The thing is, is
that when I retired the first

889
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,080
time I remember I used to taunt
my partner about golfing.

890
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,840
Such a pussy sport.
And if he listens to this, I

891
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,280
have to say you were right, I
was wrong.

892
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,200
And Richard Harrison, you were
right.

893
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,520
I used to give him shit all the
time that that, you know,

894
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,800
golfing for pussies and and and
I still think you know, and and,

895
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,400
and our other partner would
always say it's I think golf is

896
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,200
the interruption, the
unnecessary interruption of a

897
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,600
great a great walk.
And it's fine and and and.

898
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,520
That's pretty good.
I turned out to like it and it's

899
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:07,440
not necessarily golfing with me
is not, I mean, I'm, I'm, I hit

900
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,280
100.
You're not bad.

901
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,440
No, I remember your your drive
is great and you have the

902
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,960
weirdest driving I've ever seen
in my life.

903
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,960
Everybody laughs at it.
It's so strange, I've never seen

904
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,480
somebody hit a golf.
Ball 230 and is I mean my best

905
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,280
ever is like 300.
So I mean, I got, I can and it's

906
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,760
straight.
Too and it goes straight, which

907
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,080
is even.
Crazier, you get 1, you get a

908
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,360
couple good hits each each game
and you come back for that.

909
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,760
And it's also for me, it's not
about for for what it is.

910
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,200
It's the people that you play
with.

911
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:46,720
If you have good partners that
are there for fun and they want

912
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:50,440
to challenge themselves, like, I
mean, I would golf with Todd and

913
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,520
he is just amazing.
He's just a great, he's a, he's

914
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,680
like a, you know, low 80s
golfer.

915
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,560
So really, really good.
But but if he hits, if he hooks

916
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:04,080
into the wind, yeah, whatever.
And whereas I've seen people

917
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,800
just get so upset if they I
mean, it'd be like if they

918
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,480
struck out on the field and they
broke the bat right there and

919
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,400
then took a crap on the plate.
And you know, and you're just

920
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:19,480
like, you're not going to be
nobody that I play golf with is

921
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,880
ever going to be a pro.
You're just not.

922
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,040
You're not I.
Can't believe you say that.

923
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,200
You're, you're going to be,
you're going to have a little

924
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,040
bit of and hopefully you're out
here.

925
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,720
You don't have to be at work.
You don't have to listen to, you

926
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,400
know, any family member.
And you're getting drunk in the

927
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,040
middle of the day.
I mean when?

928
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,600
You're smoking cigars and
getting high and all that other

929
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,160
stuff and it's like, This is why
would anybody be upset about

930
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,560
that?
I don't know.

931
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,600
That's and so as long as you're
with people like that, I mean,

932
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,400
like me and Bush go, we go off
everywhere because he's just so

933
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,600
we're relaxed and he would be,
oh, I don't know, that's not

934
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,360
good.
But I mean, that's how upset he

935
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,720
would be.
Well, that's all.

936
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,880
Maybe I should have a beer
that'll change that.

937
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,440
OK.
And I'd be like, OK, you have,

938
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640
I'll drink 2 beers for you so
you can golf better.

939
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,640
So it's all about it, all about
the the people that you're with.

940
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,680
Does he still?
Play because he got into it for

941
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,200
a while too.
Yeah, I haven't.

942
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,920
We'll see.
I haven't pinned shoulder so

943
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,240
I've been out of it.
For well, he's been everywhere.

944
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,840
Yeah, he's been all in the
world, but I.

945
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,600
Don't know if he's been playing
golf in that time.

946
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,600
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, I will have to.

947
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,400
I'll ping him in Spain and say,
you know, if we're not going to

948
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,000
go to Jordan, let's go, let's
do, let's play golf and let's do

949
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,560
that because I think that would
be, well, he's.

950
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,280
In Eastern Europe right now and
he's talking about December.

951
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:39,840
December or something?
Yeah.

952
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,760
Yeah, he's kind of all over the
place.

953
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,960
You.
Know because he was thinking

954
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,480
about going he went to Sarajevo
I.

955
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,560
Don't know where that is.
Yeah, it's Eastern Europe.

956
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,160
Is that a country?
Was it?

957
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,240
Croatia.
Oh, Croatia, OK.

958
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,360
Yeah, Yep, Up there in the North
and doing that, whatever,

959
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,120
whatever.
Scuba diving, Is that a sport?

960
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,880
Nah, no, that's really a fun
thing, boating I.

961
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,040
Guess like there's some people
that do the boating where it's

962
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,720
like sailing is that.
A What about you?

963
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:12,040
Never did crew.
We never.

964
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Did no, never did crew.
Horse racing, no no boxing.

965
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,680
My brother used to box friends
in the side yard but never for

966
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,000
money or anything up to any
degree.

967
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,200
No, just fun.
I mean, as far as sports besides

968
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:31,600
baseball, Little League
football, the one year and the

969
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,600
reason I didn't do football
again is because it cost so

970
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,040
much.
Football costs a lot.

971
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,160
Cost a lot because you.
Got to get the pads.

972
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,160
You just need a glove.
Do you need the helmet?

973
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,480
You don't need the helmet.
Yeah.

974
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,920
Do you pay?
To buy for the helmet, do you

975
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,360
have to buy it or could you rent
it?

976
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,880
I don't remember what.
I think I don't.

977
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,520
Remember what it?
Was, but I remember the next

978
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,920
year they were when they start
out with well, how are you going

979
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,720
to earn money if you want to
play football?

980
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,920
Oh wow.
You know, and that's the the

981
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,320
question was posed to me when
I'm, you know, going into 6th

982
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,520
grade.
Oh, you want to go skating?

983
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,520
Well, Zach, you're going to have
to get a part time job to afford

984
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,240
skates.
And you are.

985
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,920
I mean, that's what yeah, that's
that's what it was.

986
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,520
And so, well, it, you know, and
today you look around, there's a

987
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,160
lot of people that those are the
kind of decisions.

988
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,280
It's like, well, do I feed my
kids or do I let them skate?

989
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,480
You know when you look at your
skateboards and stuff like that

990
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,040
and it's like that's.
Yeah.

991
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,800
It can be, it can be really
expensive or it can be

992
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,560
inexpensive.
The but the equipment does

993
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,840
matter somewhat, somewhat.
It it gives you, you can get a

994
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,160
competitive edge.
You, you absolutely can.

995
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,200
If you put two of the same
people together and you give me

996
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,640
the, the ping driver that drives
I, I will do better.

997
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:55,560
It just just for me personally,
you feel better when you're

998
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,960
playing with stuff that costs
more.

999
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,120
I don't know why.
It's just maybe it's a psycho

1000
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,800
thing.
I'm sure that's a psycho thing.

1001
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,440
You know, I'm stupid.
I I bought, I spent a lot of

1002
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,000
money on golf clubs and I think
like what else?

1003
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,160
I had friends that are race car
drivers.

1004
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,840
They used to build.
They had a, a, a.

1005
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,240
Legal or legal race car?
Driver legal legal in

1006
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,240
Woodbridge.
There was one out in Manassas.

1007
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:20,320
It was like a track or
something.

1008
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,600
Tracked it was like 1/4 mile.
That's pretty cool.

1009
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,400
I always wanted to build my own
car.

1010
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:25,720
You ever you ever have that
urge?

1011
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,400
No, I suck ass at that.
I mean, I have the urge of

1012
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,120
wanting to do things that I
don't have the capability to do.

1013
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,200
I don't have the patience.
I could build a car with an

1014
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,560
expert mechanic as long as he
said tighten that down three

1015
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,560
turns.
Put this tire on that rear, rear

1016
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,160
air, put that there.
Tighten it down, do this, do

1017
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,360
this, I can do that.
As I was great.

1018
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,880
I was a great carpenter's
helper.

1019
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,960
I'm really, really good at being
a carpenter's helper.

1020
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,880
I could carry everything.
I'd move everything.

1021
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,200
I can anticipate what the person
wanted.

1022
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,160
So I'd bring it to him and when
he's like, I need a pencil and I

1023
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,400
just always carry one with me.
And he'd be like, why do you do

1024
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:05,960
that?
And it's like, well, because you

1025
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,160
always need one.
Oh, you know it just because I,

1026
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,120
I have a mind and I know that if
I work with you for a day, I

1027
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,520
know what you need when you need
it.

1028
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,120
I don't have my tape measure.
Oh, here's one.

1029
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,760
And I would always carry a tape
measure, always would carry, you

1030
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,280
know, and they'd be like looking
at me like, how did you know to

1031
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,200
prepare for that?
And it's like, well, you always

1032
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,200
seem to need one.
So you know that that that's why

1033
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,040
I'm just Johnny on the spot.
And I was, I was pretty much, I

1034
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,840
was, I was lean after high
school.

1035
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,840
And I mean, one of the reasons
that I thought it was really

1036
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:45,280
good for sports for you is that
in high school, I was just kind

1037
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:50,400
of a doughy kid.
And I think like I, I felt that

1038
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,720
you would be in public school,
you would be this doughy kid

1039
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,160
that cause.
Yeah, I probably was sort of

1040
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,240
smoking dope earlier.
You didn't only have to make it

1041
00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:03,920
into sports, you had to.
You had to suck up or be nice or

1042
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,960
be recognized by the coach as
someone that was worth their

1043
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,440
time.
Well, I think the craziest thing

1044
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,640
is that I looked at cross
country times on Langley High

1045
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,280
School when I was in high
school.

1046
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,040
I was curious and our fastest
guy broke 19 or something.

1047
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:25,680
The slowest time was like 1530
or something and out.

1048
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,760
That's like pre Olympic.
That's 1535 K.

1049
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,360
They were walking crazy.
You knew that dude.

1050
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,520
Dang, yeah, yeah, well, that
wasn't just him either.

1051
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,640
That was like the entire team.
They're all within like 16

1052
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,280
minutes.
And he was brilliant.

1053
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,920
Guess how fast?
The women ran seventeens and I

1054
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,600
was like, whoa man, that's crazy
stuff.

1055
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,080
Goes to show that people that
are bad at sports go to private

1056
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,400
school.
That's what you got to do.

1057
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,520
Right, because then you feel
better about yourself.

1058
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,200
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, good old.

1059
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,000
It's all about it is.
Works that way.

1060
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,720
Feeling good about yourself?
Yeah, and, and building habits

1061
00:53:07,720 --> 00:53:10,200
that later in life that you keep
that'll hopefully keep you in

1062
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,520
some, some semblance of.
I mean, that's the thing I think

1063
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,320
that is missing from high school
now is the fact that kids are

1064
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,360
not drawn in to do physical
exercise on a, on a, an everyday

1065
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:21,120
basis.
Well, you got a.

1066
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,840
Gym, don't you?
Is that a class?

1067
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,320
Not until class.
You do until 10th grade and most

1068
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:26,920
people skip it because they're
cool.

1069
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,360
Nobody wants to go in the locker
room and take their clothes off

1070
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,880
in front of a bunch of other
guys because my Dick's smaller

1071
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:32,560
than.
Yours.

1072
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,400
You get in the locker room with
guys, right?

1073
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,760
I don't know.
Yeah, I always thought that was

1074
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,440
strange.
And there's a, there's one guy

1075
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,840
that I remember in particular,
he had sewn A jock strap because

1076
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,360
they would tell you to pull out
your jock strap.

1077
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,440
So they knew that you put your
jock strap on.

1078
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,040
And he had a pair of underwear
that he had a jock strap sewn to

1079
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,640
so he could pull it out.
They wouldn't tell you to drop

1080
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,880
your pants, but they'd say, hey,
who who's the, who's everybody

1081
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,440
pull out your jock straps.
I want to make sure everybody

1082
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,760
changed and don't have underwear
so you don't get your, you know,

1083
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,640
your nod smushed.
And we would pull those down on

1084
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,040
her leg.
You know, when you're wearing

1085
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,600
shorts, so you're pulling it
down low.

1086
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,160
So all you're doing is pulling
strap out.

1087
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,520
He sewed a strap inside of his
gem shorts.

1088
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,120
So then he would just pull it
down.

1089
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:15,880
And it was just like really
funny.

1090
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,880
And he never had to change his
underwear, Which?

1091
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,160
OK, been weird.
Yeah, yeah.

1092
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,680
Interesting.
Strange, interesting guy.

1093
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,080
Wonder where he's at now.
God, I can see him.

1094
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,640
Old jock strap underwear.
Bill.

1095
00:54:34,720 --> 00:54:36,520
Bill.
I can't remember his last name.

1096
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,320
Yeah, I don't know.
I'd have to look it up and see.

1097
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,800
But a lot of interesting
characters.

1098
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,040
You know I.
I look at where many of them

1099
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,360
went or had, you know, we're all
in the Northern Virginia area.

1100
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:55,120
A lot, a lot of them went down
to Stafford, out out east and

1101
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,560
stuff.
A bunch scattered, went to

1102
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,800
different states, you know, So
it depends, you know, everybody

1103
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,960
kind of is here and there, you
know, some went to LA out your

1104
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,600
way, you know, But wow.
But that's the way sports are.

1105
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:15,760
Sports Comment on your favorite
sport in the on the.

1106
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:21,560
My my mine right now is not
really a sport, but it's hiking.

1107
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:26,920
I I the idea of walking through
the woods when with your friends

1108
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,240
or quietly, it's just something
that drives me.

1109
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:36,520
It's just it, it makes me feel
at peace with myself.

1110
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,200
That is something that and
that's why I walk because I'm

1111
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:41,760
like, I got to walk as long as I
walk.

1112
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,880
You know what I'm I got to, I'm
just did.

1113
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,240
I just got back to doing lunges
yesterday and and I am walking.

1114
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,840
I started doing them again too,
because that you know what's

1115
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,280
funny?
70% of your testosterone is

1116
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,600
exerted through your legs, which
is really, really interesting

1117
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,800
'cause you think about the
muscle groups down there, right?

1118
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,680
And I've been neglecting them
for two years.

1119
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,680
Probably.
I stopped doing lunges because I

1120
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,400
got lazy and I would always do
some sort of like exercise every

1121
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,800
time I worked out.
And then I stopped doing it

1122
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:14,320
'cause I didn't want to anymore.
And then it's funny, I, I just

1123
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,480
got back into it and I really
have atrophied in these two

1124
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,280
years with the, the whole leg
thing.

1125
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,960
Well, if you do want just two,
it's good for your hips.

1126
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,600
Good for your hips.
'Cause I did, I mean mine was

1127
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,920
'cause I had the quadriceps torn
in the left leg that it, it, it

1128
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,800
hurt.
And you know, me being a pussy

1129
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,760
meant that I was not not going
to do with any.

1130
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,560
And then the PT guys telling me
you got to do them.

1131
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,240
He told me just the other day.
And so we did 60 in his office

1132
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:47,200
and. 60 Oh my God, well.
We did 1515151515.

1133
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,560
Oh, that's a lot.
You know, that's a lot, man.

1134
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,520
You know, I don't even do 60.
That's crazy.

1135
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,080
No, it's just two sets of 15
each leg.

1136
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,960
That's OK.
That's sixty.

1137
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,360
OK total.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1138
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,200
So that's not so 30 each.
Leg OK, gotcha.

1139
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,040
I mean.
I thought you meant 60 of each

1140
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,000
leg.
Oh yeah.

1141
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,200
No, but I did.
I've done a lot.

1142
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:11,040
I remember Kuipers when he was
at the height of his, what do

1143
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:15,080
you call it, CrossFit.
We went over to your elementary

1144
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,920
school and we walked around that
track.

1145
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,480
He still does that.
He's talking about that.

1146
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:20,560
He didn't do that.
Not the lunges.

1147
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,400
Yeah, he did, He said he did the
workout with the the guy.

1148
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,400
Yeah, but he's only done, he
only does one trip around.

1149
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,040
We did 4.
You did four.

1150
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,800
Well, four.
It's on a 400 meter track

1151
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,920
though.
Yeah, you're supposed to do 400

1152
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,560
meters of lunges.
And that's why you did 2 laps,

1153
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,240
because it's on a 400 meter
track.

1154
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,920
It was.
Like you know what, we probably

1155
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,720
only did 1 1/2 or something but
it but.

1156
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,640
It felt like 6.
For, for, for five days, I was

1157
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:52,000
in extreme, excruciating pain.
And the worst thing is it's not

1158
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,560
going up, it's going down.
And today I was out doing a five

1159
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,880
mile hike with two buddies and I
got to tell you going down the

1160
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,240
hill.
I walk like baby steps.

1161
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,040
That was the only I was walking.
Like a chimpanzee, you know,

1162
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,200
walking down the hill.
I remember you were in the bed

1163
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,560
and I was like 9 or 10 years
old.

1164
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,000
I was like, what's wrong?
And you're like, I just, I'm

1165
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,000
just not going to get up today.
I think that was out of the

1166
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,680
track working out.
Yeah.

1167
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,120
I don't think you you laid in
bed for all day.

1168
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,520
That's that's so.
Bad.

1169
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,520
That's so bad.
Yeah.

1170
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,400
So funny.
Yeah.

1171
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,760
Lactic lactic acid lives with
me.

1172
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,640
Yeah, it does.
That'd be your superpower if you

1173
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,720
were a superhuman.
That's for.

1174
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,960
Sure, I do have.
That Oh, all right.

1175
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,280
Well, I think we're going to
wrap up here.

1176
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,280
Thank you guys for listening as
always.

1177
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,440
Record of myfather.com, I'm
seeing the streams creeping up

1178
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:44,960
here.
Thank you guys for listening as

1179
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,440
always.
It's really awesome.

1180
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:51,080
We've been doing this for two
years, if that maybe I would say

1181
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,840
about a year consistently.
You're in wait.

1182
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,200
Is it almost two years
consistently?

1183
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,000
Yeah. 122 episodes.
Wow, almost two years

1184
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,640
consistently, haven't missed 1
yet.

1185
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,400
Yeah.
And look forward to us never

1186
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:03,960
going on break 'cause we never
will.

1187
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,400
Cause when we go on break we'll
become inconsistent and never

1188
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,200
get back to it.
Well, so we're going to do this

1189
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:09,200
for the.
Rest of the and now we have a

1190
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,520
equipment that we can take on
the road, yeah, like we did in

1191
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,760
Moab.
So we we're going to do more and

1192
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,720
next year we need to do 1 from
we need to go to North Pole.

1193
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:21,560
Let's.
Do it.

1194
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,000
We gotta go to the North so you
know.

1195
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:29,760
What's crazy is these this woman
just won on a cruise for 15

1196
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,440
days.
Guess how much the cruise cost

1197
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:37,040
for one ticket?
70,000,015 days, $1100.

1198
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,680
Crazy, right?
Isn't that the best sounding

1199
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,920
cruise ever?
No.

1200
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,640
Oh, my God.
That's not, that's not.

1201
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,560
I don't know.
No, the amenities look great.

1202
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,120
I don't know the ways that she
was filming it.

1203
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,120
You know what's funny is the key
to advertising is film.

1204
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,240
When nobody's there, that's what
you got to do.

1205
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,640
I don't know.
That's the key.

1206
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,720
Wow.
Film when nobody's there.

1207
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,200
Yeah, but you had to.
You had to pay for each meal.

1208
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,840
No, no, unlimited.
It wasn't carnival either.

1209
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,080
It wasn't carnival, which
carnival I've heard is not

1210
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,000
great.
But no, no, that's just me.

1211
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:10,600
All right.
See you guys.

1212
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,280
Mushy peas and pork and beans,
right?

1213
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,360
That's for sure.
Bye bye, we all want that.
