I Solar eclipse. Guys. 11 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.040 Did you get to see it? Because you had to work? I 12 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.680 did. I actually went downstairs my camera and I put the lens over my 13 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.280 camera. So I took a really cool shot of the eclipse and total that 14 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.400 worked for you because I tried it. It looked like just an orange black 15 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.319 and then you see like the small Yeah, I took it in Pa so 16 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.640 it's pretty cool. I didn't take one picture just because I knew there was 17 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.759 a million and there's no chance i'd do anything successful here something I'm gonna do 18 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.000 it once? Did you? So you're run on the board. That's the 19 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.120 end of that. You're running the board during Bend's skin right. Yeah? 20 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.159 So did you talk to them like off air, You're like guys during the 21 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.039 segment, I'm gonna run down Nope, I just you just went for it. 22 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.280 I just found an opening stairs. Yep, well down the hallway. 23 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.400 Did you do kind of a little jog. Yeah, I ran fast so 24 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.000 I can get downstairs quickly and then get back upstairs to take them to break. 25 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.199 You timed it so you got to see all of totality right right, 26 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.120 Yes, I because it was you could see it from the corner of right 27 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.840 there where you're sitting, and I was Danny's cardboard camera propped up. So 28 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.560 I go back and forth. Zach was watching me go back and forth, 29 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:57.759 and then I ran downstairs, took a quick video, saw the totality. 30 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.039 About a minute it was done, I back upstairs and it was It's perfect. 31 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.280 It's perfect. Yeah, it's perfect. Get to see it. I 32 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.520 assumed that you were one of the people in this world who had to I 33 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.360 had to work, you know, like a lot of people missed it because 34 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.000 they just had to work, when every company should have said stop what you're 35 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.319 doing. I bet fiutes unless it was like an essential job, I don't 36 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.879 know what that's fun. What's a job that you cannot stop? Like a 37 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:34.319 a assmbly line building planes? Okay, yes, you can stop building buoying 38 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.680 planes. But that's also in some form an assembly line. You can stop 39 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.280 an assembly line, right, you would think, do the assembly lines have 40 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.960 a giant red button that stops everything? Yes, they have to write safety 41 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.759 it's stop everything. You remember working on an assembly line just because you picture 42 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.199 it as a lever. Oh, yeah, I've worked on the floor. 43 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.479 No, you watched cartoons, you watched the floor? Yeah, I did 44 00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:00.240 watch the floor. You worked on the floor, Kevin, I have a 45 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.280 like for a more than like a spring break period. I've worked on the 46 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.800 floor. Yeah, what floor? Yeah, tell us more about that. 47 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.719 It was more like cleaning parts, though it was less uh, piecing something 48 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.920 together. So technically on the assembly line of building something, no, but 49 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.879 on the floor of you can't move and you're getting handed stuff and you're pushing 50 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:27.240 it. I've done that. You worked cleaning the floor. People handed you 51 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.680 stuff and then told you to push them. Yeah, you're getting it, 52 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.079 and then you handed to the next person. They did the next part because 53 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.319 that was just a spring break, you know. But the part you were 54 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.720 in charge of doing was nothing other than keeping, so you were sort of 55 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.399 the assembly line. Yeah, I mean I was on the line, but 56 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.920 you didn't have a role. You can't leave. And it sounds to me 57 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.480 like the job only lasted like six days because it was during spring break. 58 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.480 It was five, definitely it was five. Yeah. Okay, wow was 59 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:59.000 this an air tractor? I mean this Turner Empire air tractor and they only 60 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.000 made it five days. You don't own it, Yes, they do. 61 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.800 No, they don't trust me. They don't. So you just cleaned the 62 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.000 floor. The floor had nothing to do with it. I was on the 63 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.480 floor. Well, don't keep in mind he did hand things to other people 64 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.959 and also pushed these things. Hey, you push them in a little box. 65 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.199 Look, I get it. It's hard for you guys to understand. 66 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.519 I understand, but when you think deeper about these things, like I tend 67 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.600 to do, then you do realize that I've got lots of experience. I 68 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.480 mean, you would think after the whole moon period thing, you guys would 69 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.639 start to believe me a little more often than you do instead of looking at 70 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.399 me like I'm a buffoon. And it funny when the insect gets caught in 71 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.319 the little whirlpool, it never really seems to make it back up to the 72 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.160 top and swim to safety, but it keeps swimming faster and faster. Yeah, 73 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:59.120 believing that they're on their way out of what they get out. Well, 74 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.040 whatever, I don't you know, maybe I'll run it by my guy, 75 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.040 Dusty Sligh at eight ten. You know that guy grew up in a 76 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.439 trailer park, kind of like me. You've never lived in a trailer. 77 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.000 Yeah, it was probably well a mansion was being exactly no air tractor money. 78 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.199 No I lived in in Denton, I lived in I lived in an 79 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:26.439 RV for about three months one summer was that with machine. No I lived 80 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.800 alone. Because he claims he lived in a trailer, he is always very 81 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.360 temporary. Oh yeah, yeah, when you say lived in a trailer, 82 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.639 doesn't mean. They were rebuilding the clubhouse to the only country club and they 83 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.759 had to use a little trailer as their pro shop for six months. Okay, 84 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.279 First of all, I feel like you need to walk through the Only 85 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.959 country Club one a time or two, and then I got it. If 86 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.079 you're if your imagine the way you speak of it is that it's some luxurious 87 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:57.720 place. Uh no, how's the Nineteenth Hole. It's good. They've done 88 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.839 a lot of work too. Sometimes when I go there, I crank up 89 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.639 the Secret Wizard. We have a good time there, his mysterious billiards game 90 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.839 that he invented that he did tell people about at Cash's house. The other 91 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.879 day, he finally unleashed the Secret Wizard. Was anyone able to stay awake 92 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.759 during its description? I stayed far away. There wasn't enough action on it, 93 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.680 and it was kind of at a bad time because it was when the 94 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:26.399 game started. But trust me, the two guys that played, Cash and 95 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.519 Matt were mesmerized. I don't know because I asked him, I'm like, 96 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.519 so, how a Secret Wizard? And they both kind of gave me the 97 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.319 Larry David like, I mean, well, they sends up two people who 98 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.279 were defeated by the Secret Wizard. All Cash said was it's a game that 99 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.439 could go on forever. That's okay, now, that's technically true. That's 100 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.319 technically true. But I actively didn't pick up any of the rules. I 101 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.839 was really disappointed you didn't come over and just really buy in for a minute, 102 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.519 because I think you would have loved it. It's the monopoly of billiards. 103 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.120 Yeah, it's like a risk. I set it up. Christina goes, 104 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.160 yeah, I've seen I've seen you do this before. I was like, 105 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.079 yes, absolutely so, I think you've played it before. You just 106 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.920 don't remember. Oh it's amazing. It's so fun and so frustrating. I 107 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.560 love hearing about how Kevin did his part in the Industrial Revolution. Yeah, 108 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.680 of central West Texas, irregular Rosie the Riveter, that's where Teksoma. He 109 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.800 can do it. Rosy the Riveter. You don't understand that. Nuh huh, 110 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.959 what's the reference. Well, it's not like I was around for Rosie 111 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.879 the Riveter either me, either believe it or not. But we just kind 112 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.399 of well, y'all know more about history than me. I think that's that's 113 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.039 fair. I think what she represented women during World War Two, As you 114 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.559 know, the men went off to war, the women had to bust their 115 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.759 ass here on the home front. And you've seen the old posters. Uh, 116 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.120 when we the US put out its propaganda as well with the fist. 117 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.279 Yeah, she's got the making a muscle and she's wearing the cool red bandanna 118 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.759 with her hair back and a denim shirt. It's like Flow from Progressive. 119 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.759 We can do it. Looks like Flow, Well, we can do it. 120 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.279 Yeah. See on a group trivia team, Kevin the Riveter. I 121 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.159 can help, but Kevin the Riveter, I would need you guys to carry 122 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.840 the history history. And I wouldn't be great with movies. I think I 123 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.320 wouldn't be good with movies pre nineteen ninety. I feel that we got you. 124 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.080 I got you there. Yeah, that's what you think's got everything. 125 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.519 We're very good general. I was. I went to a brewery the other 126 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.600 day and just was having a French dip and a beer just for dinner. 127 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.440 And they were in the midst of trivia night, right. Yeah. The 128 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.080 first question I heard, I couldn't believe it because I'm like Danny would get 129 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.200 this in one second, and I didn't know. And it was who replaced 130 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.240 Ozzy Osbourne as the lead singer of Black Sabbath in nineteen I don't know, 131 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:52.600 seventy nine or something, seventy nine. I don't know. That's a list 132 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.159 of pretty long. Yeah, in seventy nine, it might have been that 133 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.639 would have been for Born Again. I think think that might have been Ian 134 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.519 Gillen. Okay, so it wasn't something nine. The answer was Ronnie James 135 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.440 Dio. Okay, it was either or Gillan. Yeah, I didn't. 136 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.679 I couldn't remember the timeline on who replaced him. The question in and the 137 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.879 first thing I thought was I need dingu with me. Lost. No, 138 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.240 the trivia master said the right year. I didn't. Okay, you would 139 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.159 have got it. Yeah, what are we gonna do trivia night with our 140 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.279 Jeopardy This is the greatest.

And guess what, my best friend Bryce and 142 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.879 d Schambau just showed up and he's gonna be on the team. Yeah, 143 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.840 we need to go clean up. We have a Jeopardy tournament champion's friend that 144 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.200 wants to be on our trivia team. Yes, in the gift card. 145 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.440 The last time we had him on after he got eliminated from Jeopardy, he 146 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.480 didn't seem like he was in a very good mood. Well, he just 147 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.799 got beat. Well, that made it was his low point. It may 148 00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.360 play into him blocking your number, Kevin. No, No, he's been. 149 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.960 He's been texting me. No, I could prove it often. I 150 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.440 just to delete all my text for space. But I can prove it. 151 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.600 I can't because he needed to get in touch with the Rangers about something. 152 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.559 What not gonna it's his private information. We had a gift was sent to 153 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.360 us by listen. Is he gonna go to a game and throw out the 154 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.759 first trivia question? Actually?

Read this. I guess it's like some type of 157 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:45.679 plaque. Yeah, what do they call this, Mikey the silicon? What 158 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.600 is it? I had it a placard. No, it's a little clear 159 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.559 late text either. But oh, look who's trying to get on the team? 160 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:03.879 Science Transfer trivia science work the floor and it looks it's like an award. 161 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.799 I guess it says the number one morning morning show on k E g 162 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.480 l's ninety seven to won the Freak and iHeartMedia Company is presented to the Downbeat 163 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.919 all right, great, we'll suck that news junkie.

We're 170 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.200 the number one morning show on k eg L's ninety seven on the Freak. 171 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:54.960 There's subtle jokes in here. Yes, what did the licensed plate maker guy 172 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.039 in prison refit the thing to do acrylics and make this for us? I 173 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.080 don't know where it came from. I know I can't from a listener. 174 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.039 Got name? Well, yeah, yeah, go first name. I'll just 175 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.840 get out his Twitter account that's not on the envelope that Maddie actually is not. 176 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.639 I do know his name, but there you know, you're working with 177 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.879 award winners today, but he is a we just keep piling him up, 178 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.360 Maddie, stack him up, let's throw him in the award stack. Let's 179 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.519 quiet. His Twitter name is ah not his handle his name is Danny's Banana, 180 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.240 but it's at day one. Glenn. I love that guy. That 181 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.600 guy's awesome, and that's gonna be a weird Twitter handle in a couple of 182 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.559 years. His last tweet said, dear hotel employees, I do not need 183 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.399 you to call my room and check if everything is okay in my room. 184 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.840 I'll call you something wrong that is true. I'll just let you know. 185 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.279 If there is blood on my sheets, you don't have to call it as 186 00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:01.279 me. It makes me wonder what happened here before I stayed. I don't 187 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.600 know, That's just me. He is one of the many supporters of Dusty 188 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.919 Slay being on the show at eight ten. For those that don't know, 189 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.519 Dusty Slave is a comedian who's very popular. He actually did a podcast in 190 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:20.480 Nate Bergazzi, who is maybe the fastest or the biggest rising comedian of the 191 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.320 last three four years. I would say like he got huge to playing like 192 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.639 Dicky's Arena and stuff when he might have been at the Majestic two years ago. 193 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.440 Like he got huge and he did a podcast with them, or did 194 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.639 a podcast with them. I don't know if he still does. He lived 195 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.000 in a trailer park I heard a story where he was talking about in Tennessee 196 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.519 or he grew up, if you lived in a trailer park, they had 197 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.360 very specific tornado warnings or the news. Like on the news, they'd be 198 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.600 like, and if you live in a trailer park, just go lay down 199 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.000 in a ditch like everyone else. They'd be like, go to a neighbor's 200 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.799 house, you know, or do I take cover? If you have a 201 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.440 seller. Oh, if you of a trailer park, just go lay down 202 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.360 in that ditch over there full of water it's been raining, because that's safer 203 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.519 than being in a trailer Tornado hits. I don't know. One's a funny 204 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:16.879 part I'm saying. I'm just paraphrasing the bit I went a little happened a 205 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:26.000 little hang on me too throat. Okay, boy, this is not high 206 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.879 energy. Look. I walked into the hallway and there was a music morning 207 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:37.399 show playing Open Arms by Journey, So suck it. I don't think any 208 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.240 of our stations are doing well though, so go ahead, okay, we 209 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.360 need to compare ourselves to them. Maybe what I'm saying is I did do 210 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.240 a little bit of a dive on Dusty Sleigh last night on YouTube because I 211 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.320 wasn't really familiar with with him. I think i'd recognize, you know, 212 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.399 what he looked like, but I hadn't listened to any of his bits. 213 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.480 Pretty funny, dude. How about that voice. Yeah, he's got a 214 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:06.879 unique thing to him. It's almost like he's a I wonder how much of 215 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.000 that is really him and how much of it is his uh kind of creating 216 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.799 a character. It's almost like he's wearing a week. I think he's Sam 217 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.440 Anderson at the Quacker City Nighthawks. Sam's much more handsome than Oh. Absolutely 218 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:25.240 no, Sam's banging all the time. Well, actually, I don't know 219 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.720 what his current is back in the right person all the time. Yeah, 220 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.600 there you go. I don't know the situation either. But he did a 221 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.799 ten minute bit breaking down the lyrics of It's five o'clock somewhere and pointing out 222 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.639 all of the problems with it. Really good, man, really really good. 223 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.639 I love when comedian comedians take song lyrics literally and break them down. 224 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.960 Well, he says it's four thirty, but then he says it's it's half 225 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.679 past three, but then he says it's five o'clock somewhere. It's like that 226 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:02.080 math does not work. It's not time because you change time zones. Just 227 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.599 it's always at the top of the hour. It was really good. Have 228 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.799 you watched it on the you? I can't wait for eight, eight, 229 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:18.039 ten and nine ten. Yeah, nice to slay. Somebody said the assembly 230 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.839 line I work on, they adjusted our break so we could go see it. 231 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.119 Yeah, yeah, that's a that's you get a little the quick break 232 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.640 the ten minutes and I think this is our chicken plant guy he called in 233 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:36.039 once right, chicken plant had evacuation fire drill so employees could see it. 234 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.920 Okay, smart, that's how you do it. Knock out your fire drill 235 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.240 and ruin that peaceful moment with a gudy alarm going off. That sounds like 236 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:51.519 I heard of cats being crushed by a press. That's that's pretty that's pretty 237 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:56.960 good. But the thing that's going to really endanger the factory and the assembly 238 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:03.000 line culture is the phone. It comes really in tune with factory culture. 239 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:10.799 For the five days he spent mopping, he's not mopping or push or were 240 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.359 you tell us what you literally did? Were you hard to remember from the 241 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.079 assembly line? You were just moving things? Yeah, just physically moving things 242 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.200 along. Yeah, it sounds to me like you were trying to do things 243 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.000 that made you appear to be busy. So no, we were clean. 244 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.880 Yeah, it it was busy work, there's no doubt about it. Was 245 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.200 it a job that before you began and after you left, no one else 246 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.400 had that? Yeah, well, you know it was a take advantage of 247 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.359 the spring break kids. Not take advantage of them, but like it was, 248 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.680 did you kidn't spring breaking might need some money. It's like four or 249 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.839 five of us. Did you feel it's like you can kind of know what 250 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.279 a real job's like. Did you feel like your position Did you feel like 251 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.920 your position was essential? No to the functionality of this. No, not 252 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.559 at all. We were cleaning like boxes and they're putting small airplane parts in, 253 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.039 like parts of all as I'm holding in my hand, like d real 254 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.720 bits and stuff like that. You're cleaning them because they come in these little 255 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.160 crates. It's not that interesting too. That's why I kind of wanted to 256 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:14.279 go away. But it was. I mean, you're there and you can't 257 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.519 go anywhere, and that's difficult if you're not used to it. You're used 258 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.359 to it, I'm sure it's just my numbing and boom boom boom, move 259 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:29.480 it on down the road. But for a sixteen year old who's not used 260 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.799 to standing on his feet all day, you know, or just not being 261 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.960 got used to, like, and you're sitting there going, oh my god, 262 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.640 I've been doing this for twenty minutes, two and a half more hours 263 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.240 to go till first break, and then you run to the vending machine and 264 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:48.119 just spend more than your made. Absolutely so, did you not have any 265 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:53.000 type of job prior to that, Well, at that age you were when 266 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.640 you were sixteen. When you can legally start working when you're fifteen, I 267 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.039 believe, yeah could when I was a kid, I was twelve with the 268 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.400 golf course picking up range balls like then golf cart. It's the best job 269 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.799 in the world. It's fun. And then you'd wash them with put it 270 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.279 on the washing machine, you know, which is weird. Okay, that 271 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.920 washing machine could take a lot the big golf ball washer. Yeah. Yeah, 272 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.359 what a great job because you can smoke a spliff. Yeah he's twelve. 273 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.960 I was smoke a bowl in the range thing and just kind of listen 274 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.799 to tunes and it's sort of like like a phone game, Like you just 275 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.400 kind of clean the whole driving range with this trailer head thing with yeah spinners 276 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:33.759 on it, and then you see how close I can get to the flag 277 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.759 stick and you're like, oh, I got that one. It's like a 278 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.000 ball that's two inches from the flagstick, No problem, because I got the 279 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.720 touch, I've got the power. It's a little bit like mowing. Yeah, 280 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.319 the satisfaction of mowing. You're pressure washing, yes, because you really 281 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.559 are like, Okay, I get this done. It sucks when you got 282 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:56.039 to get to their manually lift the bucket up. Is that almighty to lift 283 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.000 the bucket up, take them, dump the bucket of balls, the big 284 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:07.799 baskets basket basket into the washing machine. But if you're super baked, you 285 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.839 can try to like I'm gonna get every ball off the range I'm getting without 286 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.480 getting off of the tractor. Yeah, some of it's impossible. Sometimes there's 287 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:19.240 plugged balls, you know. People have like someone who starts at a job 288 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.720 and you give them fake jobs, you know, and you mess with them 289 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.960 kind of like Kevin's spring breaks exactly, like hey, you gotta wash them 290 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.680 drill bitsy, wash the boxes that hold the drill bits. And when the 291 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.559 works, there's like, okay, looking at him, he's doing it. 292 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:34.960 We had a couple of those in the driving range. The new people. 293 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.920 He would tell them they had to go, uh, they had to go 294 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.880 out in the range while while there's people out hitting balls, that go out 295 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:48.000 on the range and wash the flagsticks. So we had a football helmet and 296 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.480 they put a football helmet on and they run out with a rag and like 297 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:57.680 a bottle of spray and spray the flagsticks wash with that wonderful moment that you 298 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.720 are, that wonderful motion that you have of cleaning a pole. Yeah, 299 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.920 exactly. But the football it's the funniest thing. And they're trying to not 300 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.839 get blasted by golf ball. Go out there going to watch the flag six 301 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.240 Like who needs clean flags stick? Yeah, you basically sent him snipe hunting. 302 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:17.279 Yeah, exactly, exactly that same thing. I love how all jobs 303 00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.680 have yeah, especially like assembly jobs, like work jobs, they all have 304 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.039 that bit. Yes, you know, like it's the air force, like 305 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.000 hey, go down and get it, grab me a two hundred yards a 306 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.880 flight line, you know, like the flight line is the whole thing and 307 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.880 there doesn't exist. It's like when I sent Grego Fernando to look for nic 308 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.880 fifty feet of ISDN line, I was thinking about that the other day. 309 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:45.119 Fifty feet whatever reason and in turn from ten plus years ago. Yeah, 310 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.720 and what do we have them looking for? Like left handed adapt or left 311 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:52.160 handed headphones or yeah, I don't know whatever. And we set him in 312 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.920 a cat's office to ask him. Yeah, I remember that, I need 313 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.440 to find the d in line. Mike says he needs it, but they 314 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.920 were all I need fifty feet of it. Then we had a Rich Phillips, 315 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.079 the assistant p D. They were all in on it. Hi, 316 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:08.880 She's like, well, I don't know where it is, but he needs 317 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.799 that. Yeah, no, I know, I'm trying to find it. 318 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.079 And of course everybody's recording. Yeah, yeah, every office there was recorder 319 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.680 rolling of the urgency of the guy who's in on the bit to come in 320 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.319 and help with the set up. Yeah, well he needs that, he's 321 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.119 got to have it. He needs a panic Grego Fernando. Yeah, that 322 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.400 was so weird. That was a long time ago. Damn we had knowles 323 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.440 or at the Stuart's food store. Was the real job. I think might 324 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:44.599 have been doing like a student and I do like a you bring your family, 325 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:49.799 Maybe I can make a wish to simply this person says he works in 326 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:56.400 trash collection was not able to stop and be the eclipse. Uh what I 327 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.880 mean? Trash primarily outdoors. They suspend. Did trash pick up on Monday? 328 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.240 In my neighborhood. They didn't even pick it up until yesterday. This 329 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.400 guy says, just open the stream golf talk again, Jesus, that doesn't 330 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:11.880 even count. Can we have a little context, sir?

It's the super Bowl 333 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.640 of Golf. Yes, right, yes, Every time I opened the stream 334 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:33.200 and listened to your podcast. Guy, you're always talking about windows. Let 335 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:38.519 me tell you, not that interesting, but thanks for listening. And yeah 336 00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.359 I wasn't. We're talking about old jobs. So you know Stuart's food Store 337 00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:48.200 still still opening only ar are you serious? The mom and pop grocery store 338 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:55.519 is still around. Yes, and the owner the time, Harold Stewart, 339 00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:00.599 has passed. But he had Harold Stewart. Yeah, okay, their whole 340 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.519 website. We appreciate you. Harold Stewart a slab of meat. Can you 341 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.240 see his hand in there? Because he had lobster cloth. Oh he does. 342 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.680 He's missing fingers on his left hand from working in the meat market. 343 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:17.720 Oh my god. Absolutely, he lost fingers on the butcher shop. Yep, 344 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.920 oh my god. His son was my college roommate. What that doesn't 345 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.400 happen that often anymore? Well, yeah, this guy, you know, 346 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.839 think about it in the fifties. I mean, dude, when I was 347 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:33.480 a kid, my granddad and all of his friends were missing at least one 348 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:37.240 digit. And it was all the same reason. Oh, it was for 349 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.759 a result of a combine accident when he was working when he was thirteen, 350 00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:48.000 working the combine in some damn the cotton field out and the rolling planes, 351 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:53.200 and all of him and his buddies are drinking nickel coffee at the diner with 352 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:59.680 their pinkies because they basically don't have hands thanks combine. Missing finger at the 353 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:06.039 combine. That's why Tim White ran a four to four hand fell a couple 354 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.720 of rounds handcrafted, mister finger boy, that is true. Remember that all 355 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.799 old people just were missing digits. Yeah, people used to be so tough. 356 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.440 I had a neighborhood and nub for sure, kidding so cool. And 357 00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.960 I don't know if surgery probably wasn't as good back then either that you think 358 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:27.759 about it. You know, urgency attaching, you know, I mean, 359 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.720 not always having someone on guard. I think the turning point in America's workforce, 360 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:38.279 like everybody was tough until that one job was created for Kevin. And 361 00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.079 that's when the country turns soft. That is the moment America turns off. 362 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.519 The five Days of Kevin. Little Kevin strut out on the floor and the 363 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:52.839 head's whipped of these hard men, all with seven to eight fingers waving at 364 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.680 Kevin with their nub There, little boy, wait, we got a job 365 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.920 for you. They put the kids moving on one corner at the like in 366 00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:04.559 the middle of the line. It was really bad. Box from Chah to 367 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.200 cha, Yes, sir, I'm gonna do a great job. And then 368 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:18.359 ten minutes later he's complaining. That's the thing that I was tired playing Nintendo 369 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.599 those summary jobs. I think I had one similar to that. My buddy's 370 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:29.200 dad owned an oil field supply company and they hired me and seriously, they 371 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.720 give you something to do, and I was done with it and started at 372 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.000 nine. I'm done by nine point fifteen, and then it's just up to 373 00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:40.440 you to look busy yes, for the next seven hours and forty five minutes. 374 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.079 Yeah, I ain't a lot of that going on, for sure. 375 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.880 So many trips to the bathroom, hiding, just sitting, taking out the 376 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.319 trash, taking out the trash again. There's like maybe one cigarette butt that's 377 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:57.839 been added to it since the last time I took it out your trash bag, 378 00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.480 and then trying to get a full. Yeah, but he stayed busy 379 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.480 for eight hours. But I knew I needed that three dollars and thirty five 380 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:10.680 cents an hour, so one time. Don't age yourself. Country guys, 381 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.039 we built this country.
