5
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.399

Introduce yourself to people. Know which one

8
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.280
because JJ could be a dude.
Dude. Yeah, A lot of bigger

9
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.159
things they do, yeah, oh
no, no, no, I get

10
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.280
a yes, sir a lot when
I'm like telling them the information about on

11
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.480
the fucking Sometimes really, if they
don't, yeah, they're like new,

12
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.680
well, ridiculous. You have a
very feminine voice, I think you do.

13
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.640
You know. Yeah, I've always
thought my voice was a little I

14
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.920
want to say deep, but no, you know, a little on the

15
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.200
lines of I don't know, you
know. I'm just gonna say it's traumatic

16
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.920
when you're like fourteen years old and
you call someone on the phone and they

17
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.120
say, yes, ma'am, it's
a bad day, you go oh,

18
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.400
or you get the opposite. Like
my son's mom is almost forty. Gosh.

19
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.920
When she was in her twenties,
people would call, like a sales

20
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.920
call, and she'd answered the phone, is your mommy, your daddy home?

21
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:08.280
She's like, I'm thirty, your
mommy or daddy? Oh yeah,

22
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.400
pick your poison on that one right. This She always bugged me. I

23
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.960
think I had a high pitch voice
late a late bloomer, I was.

24
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.560
I think, yeah, I probably
I was. It was hard to tell

25
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:27.599
because I to this day am virtually
hairless, like a seal pup in Alaska,

26
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.120
a man of the water. So
I have like no hair on my

27
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:38.000
legs. People have asked me you
shave your legs every a couple of years.

28
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.159
I'm like, no, but you
don't start sprouting hair, you know.

29
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.719
And when you're sixteen, what about
your chest? You have a little

30
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.759
bit of chest. Do you have
bigfoot butt? What? Bigfoot? But

31
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.319
that means hair? Yeah, I
don't have one hair on my butt,

32
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.639
I said, seal pup, Well, it's got a hair somewhere other than

33
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.680
I mean, other than your beard. You got armpit hair right, look

34
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.520
that arm You can't see one hair. I mean, yeah, there's a

35
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.080
little, but they're blonde and thin
like I just don't. I don't have

36
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.879
much hair. So when you're spread, when you're going through that at fifteen

37
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:25.159
six, whatever did your parents?
They still loved you even with this malady.

38
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.479
When I was born, I remember
they lifted they all the whole room,

39
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:36.560
lifted me up and said, behold, God's mistake. That's the first

40
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.639
thing I heard. So it was
the opposite of what happened with Simba exactly.

41
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.400
They lifted me and they don't let
pirates into your house. And then

42
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:54.360
they rotated me over a trash receptacle
and dropped me. Oh, God's mistake.

43
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.199
No, So anyway, not hairy. So it's just a great gray

44
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.919
area when you're I mean, because
it is. You know, you see

45
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.520
people their leg hair when you're now
those years. That's one of the easiest

46
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.680
indicators. Not like you have a
clock on your friends when they're hitting puberty,

47
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.839
but you notice when someone is you
know, pitched voice and not a

48
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.360
hair on them. And honestly,
by the time you're into junior high,

49
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.040
you know you're playing football, you're
playing sports, you're showering in school.

50
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.959
That shouldn't be allowed by the way. I agree, it's too intimidating for

51
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:42.199
the kids that are that's traumatic what
you're to do. And then you got

52
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.800
dufus over there tucking it for fun
and I'm like, hey, you have

53
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:50.120
all that hair? Man crazy just
because he's like eight months ahead of you.

54
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.360
Yeah, it's all it is,
like, dude, I'll get there

55
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.560
fun. The dudes that have excuse
me that that have the hair and all

56
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.040
the other stuff, they'd make fun
of you. Yeah, not my fault.

57
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.240
I don't know. Yeah, I'm
two years younger. Look, fifth

58
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:13.240
graders should not be showering with eighth
graders in middle school after football practice,

59
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.120
and we shouldn't also shouldn't be treated
as tackling dummies. Okay, that's how

60
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.319
it was for you. Fifth grade
does seem very early, dude, it

61
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:26.639
was seventh for middle school. Was
you started football in the fifth grade and

62
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:32.720
you it was five and six and
then seventh and eighth grade, and all

63
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:38.319
the practices happened concurrently, and when
you were done, you hit the showers

64
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:44.399
and you're in there as afing eleven
year old with a fourteen year old that

65
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.160
does not need that. Okay,
Yeah, granted this was you know,

66
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:53.079
nineteen eighty. I don't think that
does happen now, fifth grade and eighth

67
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.720
grade. Yeah, and I could
be wrong. You put all y'all on

68
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.680
one school. It was middle school
where I went FI through through eight.

69
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.879
Yeah, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth for me. Yeah,

70
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.319
it's as it should be. Yeah, that's interesting. It was called middle

71
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.240
school to school go tell something in
a small town like Danny and I went

72
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.000
to. They could go say something
to one of the girls, one of

73
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.959
the more developed fellas at the time. Yeah, he goes say something to

74
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.040
one of the girls that the girl
just never forget. Therefore, you never

75
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.120
had a chance. Your baby,
you were a junior, your baby,

76
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.639
d Kevin the whole life. And
it's like, well, hold on,

77
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:33.519
honey, the clock finally what'd you
say? The what the world's clock?

78
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:41.639
The world clock finally started, Dick. And now I'm back. Notice I'm

79
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.959
taller than that guy. Now weird, he's the rump to the litter.

80
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.079
Now he says he was a stud
boy. It is funny. There was

81
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.639
a couple of dudes in my high
school that were considered, you know,

82
00:06:54.839 --> 00:07:00.959
super handsome guys and athletic and all
that. In my high school, and

83
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.720
boy, the way they ended up
turning out as adults because I was the

84
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:09.439
skinny kid with eft up and effed
up grill and glasses and stupid hair.

85
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.120
Thankfully, I had a little bit
of humor to me and had pretty cool

86
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.199
friends. Was actually friends with a
couple of the good looking dudes, so

87
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.319
I was in a good group,
so I didn't get the snot beat out

88
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.079
of me too much. Yeah,
but boy, to see where those things

89
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.240
ended up for them, Yeah,
whoo went the other way now, guy

90
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.079
and Danny's on ninety seven won the
freak hell yeah, two ticks to the

91
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.759
right, baby's right, top twenty
five in the top five market. Get

92
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:44.720
some, get some, get all
of it. Were you not a cool

93
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.240
guy in high school? Like good
looking dude? Okay, I mean senior

94
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:55.319
year, that's senior year. I
finally got my mom to break down and

95
00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.600
realized that contact lenses weren't that expensive, so I could stop wearing the whatever

96
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:11.600
state issued military horn rim frames state
issued you know. So yeah, I

97
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.560
got rid of the glasses and that
was a big help. And the fact

98
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:20.519
that I had a job and could
start buying my own clothes because we're super

99
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.920
poor, I mean, I'm not
and I'm not trying to play that up.

100
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.680
We were very, very poor crows. Yeah, it's super gross.

101
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.559
So you would have to wear pants
that were a size or two too small.

102
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.559
So especially over the summer when you
grow up, you don't have enough

103
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.320
money to get school clothes and you
show up where, you know, the

104
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.840
first thing they see, they say
when they see you, is like,

105
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.600
what do you expect in a flood? You know, because your pants are

106
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.679
like six inches above your shoes and
it just looks ridiculous. I know.

107
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.440
Yeah, being poor is awesome,
but getting my own job, it could

108
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.039
afford my own clothes, and you
know, it could kind of upgrade the

109
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.360
style a little bit. And so
year was not bad. Yeah, you

110
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.639
rallied, rallied a little bit.
Were there was there rich kids? Oh

111
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.519
yeah absolutely. My best friend was
probably the came from the wealthiest family and

112
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.360
uh really in the town. Yeah, one of the and you would have

113
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.080
never known pretty much. Yeah yeah
back then, Yeah for sure. But

114
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.879
he owned his own, uh oil
field supply company, and I actually worked

115
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.080
for him for a summer or two. And but yeah, you would have

116
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.720
never known it from my buddy Tracy, who was just salt of the earth

117
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.960
and never flaunted it or anything like
that. But he always, you know,

118
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.279
brand new GMC truck junior year walking
to school. He wouldn't pick you

119
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.639
up, Tracy wouldn't pick you up. I lived a block away. Dude

120
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.000
wouldn't go to school in the Googler. Oh yeah you have. Yeah.

121
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.519
I think the virtual tour of Knox
City oh so boring. I'm just pulling

122
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:56.519
my phone out, looking at it
on my lap all day, and he

123
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.519
was over my shoulder and here was
another fence. Mike you He's looking at

124
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.039
the map and just kind of going
down the streets and he goes, this

125
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.840
just looks sad. I was not
mean, aboud. I'm sorry I said

126
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.360
that. It didn't take you among
to run through that tour. You had

127
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.559
to be creative with your entertainment to
figure stuff out. I hope we are.

128
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.279
I wonder how those towns are today, with the Internet now and phones

129
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.600
and all that stuff. I'm I'm
sure it's not near as bad as it

130
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.679
felt for us at the time.
All those There are things that I've out

131
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.240
there I remember that are awesome and
seem really great now. But I think

132
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.720
that's probably everyone when they get older, looking back at when you know,

133
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.240
when they were a kid. But
I do think the technology wave because actually

134
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.799
I don't think I'm knowing. Not
everyone thinks I'm young, but I'm thirty

135
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.120
six. Still didn't have phones growing
up there, so like a video games,

136
00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:01.000
but the technology, the internet was
crap and slow and yeah, barely

137
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.080
useful. You barely had access to
knowledge of what was cool. I mean,

138
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.320
you had TV and that's all you
really had. But for Danny,

139
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.759
what you're gora to high school at
eighty six? Eighty six? Man,

140
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.919
Yeah, so you almost just the
people in your town dictate what is I

141
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.080
don't even know cool looks or clothes
or trends if you could even care,

142
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.279
right, Yeah, And the only
influence that you got on any type of

143
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.440
trends or style or music was from
TV or magazines. That was it.

144
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.320
Maybe movies, you know, if
you were able to drive to Abilene not

145
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.240
stuff to go see a movie at
the mall of Abilene. What about when

146
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.120
you were in junior high were you
looking up to the high school kids in

147
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.080
non city, Oh, my god, yes, heroes, right, heroes,

148
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.480
Yeah, and they looked like thirty
seven year old men in retrospect,

149
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.840
you know, they just were otherworldly. You just could not imagine what their

150
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.799
lives must have been like a sixth
grader, he was so cool in the

151
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.919
football players so elementary. For me. It was one through five, first

152
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.639
through fifth grade. Well, when
the football players would come in and they

153
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.120
would read. Once a week,
they wo'd bring a football player in to

154
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.960
read a little book to you is
oh I got the quarterback, Oh I

155
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.879
got the running back. It's Jeremy
Johnson. And they all read Curious George

156
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.440
to you, and you feel like
he's signing autographs. It's crazy. You

157
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.639
may have been like this for you
because you yes audious and I go back

158
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.000
to read to the kids. No
one asked for autograph, No one cares

159
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.960
because I didn't get to play much. You State champion, Danny. I

160
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.600
don't know. It might be Kevin. It might have been like this for

161
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.279
you because your town was just a
little bit bigger than NOx City. But

162
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.000
I remember looking back at the time
thinking these guys are huge. But then

163
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.360
in retrospect you look down the roster
and I'm telling you, I think in

164
00:12:54.440 --> 00:13:01.080
my entire football career in middle school
and high school, Knox City may have

165
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.120
had two players in that eight years
that were over two hundred pounds. Yeah,

166
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.759
that's insane, right, you thought
they were big and oh my god

167
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.919
huge. I was the tallest kid
in school at the time at probably six

168
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.480
' one. I'm about six three
now. May have shrunk, I don't

169
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.879
know, but yeah, I was
the tallest kid in school at the time

170
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.759
by quite a lot. Did they
have any plays like, I know you

171
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.399
didn't play much, but did they
like in practice, whether it was your

172
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.879
tight end right? Mm hm?
I mean, did they have a pass

173
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.279
to the tall guy? I played
left left weak side for us. We

174
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.720
always ran to the right. My
goal was solely to chip a tackle,

175
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.480
a defensive tackle, and then run
across field and try to cut a safety

176
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.519
or what they called they called them
half backs at the time. To had

177
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.919
cornerbacks and half backs on defense,
and it was it was your job because

178
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.840
we just ran power sweeps were so
fast, and it's my job is to

179
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.679
get downfield and be a lead blocker
and just take out basically their last line

180
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.360
of defense. It was pretty fun. I mean, you're getting to mow

181
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.159
down these one hundred and thirty pound
safeties blindside block the crap out of them.

182
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.080
They never see it coming when that
was illegal. But I have a

183
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.559
lot of passes designed for me.
My hands weren't great. I wouldn't particularly

184
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:26.960
fast. Just the body, tall
body. Put this guy into the uniform.

185
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.080
Did y'all have plays? We had
plays, Kevin, No, I

186
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.399
school plays. There was a theater
department. Yeah, my sister was very

187
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.159
involved, but no, I never
did because you alway have been made fun

188
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.960
of. Huh. Oh, that's
the thing. I always wanted to do

189
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.960
the theater stuff, and I got
scared, really because I know that I

190
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.399
would have been teased for that,
There's no question. Meanwhile, them I

191
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.159
wanted to do like an improv group
and maybe act a little bit, find

192
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:05.720
myself the bright lights of the stage. It's so amazing how underdeveloped our brains

193
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:13.960
are when we're in incredible and how
much how much outside influence has over our

194
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:16.799
ways of thinking and our choice making. Because if I had the brain that

195
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.159
I have now, would have never
played football. Wouldn't have given a rats

196
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.279
ass how much shame I got from
the coaches or other players, and I

197
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.559
probably would have gotten into theater.
Yeah, and I probably would have taken

198
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.320
band a little more serious things that
I'm actually applied to. What turned out

199
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.600
to the person that I ended up
evolving into in spite of the fact I

200
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.000
didn't know that at the time.
I was peer pressure because I didn't want

201
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.080
to play football. It scared me. I didn't want to get hurt.

202
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.440
But boy, if you didn't play, if you were able bodied and not

203
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.000
in special classes, you damn sure
tried out for football. And if you

204
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.759
tried out and you could walk,
you've got a uniform that was okay.

205
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.519
But yeah, oh dude, yeah, I played both ways and special teams,

206
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.600
all of it, all of it. But if you didn't play,

207
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.519
dude, you were shamed by everybody
because that's all that matters out there,

208
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.919
dude, in West Texas is effing
football. Football. I always kind of

209
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.200
regretted getting out of band because I
was pretty good at trumpet. It's football

210
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:26.360
for a reason, and I was
pretty good, but I quit when it

211
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:33.039
was time to transition into marching.
I had no interest in marching messer.

212
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.080
I just didn't want to do that. I would I loved playing the music.

213
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.960
I loved it, but I did
not have it. I mean that

214
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.879
part was gonna I would, so
I would have quit it the way with

215
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.279
the but you're on the theater stuff
always seemed fun. Those kids always semp

216
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:53.519
they're having a blast. Never went
to their plays, and I was like,

217
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.879
I feel like I could have really
found something there. I felt I

218
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.879
could have unlocked something. I did
a little theater. That's cool. Yeah,

219
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.000
and you didn't get you didn't get
uh, you know. He was

220
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.119
in a name call too. Yeah, it was this big school. Maybe

221
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.680
that was the big difference we had. I don't even know five six hundred

222
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:17.200
people in our graduating class. It
was big. So yeah, no,

223
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.400
I don't recall any beef for that. And my brother was in theater.

224
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.000
He got screwed because when we moved
from Miami to Sarasota, i'man a whole

225
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.319
different city. It was his sophomore
year high school, you know. So

226
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.960
that's a hard one to get thrown
into a new city, new school.

227
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.880
And I was in seventh grade,
so I got to at least have a

228
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.839
couple of years before we got to
Reverview, the big old high school.

229
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.160
So yeah, it was hard for
him. But yeah, he got in

230
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.240
a theater and then I did year
or two, did a bunch of plays

231
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.119
and it's fun. I remember it
being fun, and it's probably good for

232
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.000
you. It's definitely good for that
if you have any if you're reserved at

233
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.119
all, which I don't think I
really was, but it's still good for

234
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.720
any coming out of shelves. Plus
there's girls in it. Yeah, it's

235
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.960
like the loosest class as far as
interaction and messing out. You're supposed to

236
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.720
hookers, you're supposed to mess with
each other, and you know, interact

237
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.279
more than most classes were just sitting
there. So it's just good for your

238
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.799
social game. I think this good
for your social game. It's good for

239
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.920
your public speaking skills confidence. Yeah. Yeah, So get this word got

240
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.680
around that they were playing charades in
theaters. So my senior year, I'd

241
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.200
pretty much died like two classes.
I'd take my senior year. But they're

242
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.759
like, we can't just let you
go home all day, so here office

243
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.079
hours, office hours, office hours. I was like, Okay, well,

244
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:30.599
screw that, I'll just go sit
in with the theater class. Some

245
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.279
went sitting there my senior year and
had a blast. It was so fun.

246
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.559
You you either did nothing or you
played games all day. And then

247
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.880
they started to string together because at
the time, whose line is it anyway,

248
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.440
it was still very popular and they
started from well if we did an

249
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.279
improv night, like every Wednesday night
up at the auditorium and people would come.

250
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.640
It was so fun. It was
so fun. We also had something

251
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.279
where, oh yeah, students could
get out of something else if they came

252
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.680
to our place. Yeah, so
they know it'd be packed. Yeah,

253
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.759
it's like a class. The auditorium
is well, yeah, because they don't

254
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.759
have to do whatever. And you
see, I mean now, if you

255
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.400
do a play at night, yeah, it's gonna be sparsely attended or only

256
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.440
parents. But yeah, when you
did the one during the school day,

257
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:30.279
yeah, it's were you holding the
skeleton? I don't even be not last

258
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.960
poriotic. I remember grade school,
I did the Shaky Tale of Doctor Jakie

259
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:41.200
and I got the lead role of
doctor Jakie. And I was traveling,

260
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.680
uh like medicine salesman in the olden
times, you know. And I had

261
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.200
the cart, you know, and
I was doctor Jakie selling my potions and

262
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.119
my tonics. And that's how you
became a drug dealer. Yeah, that's

263
00:19:53.279 --> 00:20:00.599
gonna do that, transitioned into soroy
industries. Probably these people in the play,

264
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:07.440
they're buying this crap. This is
amazing potion, this no wonder.

265
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:14.720
He believes in magic so much so
but extra extracurricular activities were a wonderful escape

266
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.839
and reason for to get out of
a lot of stuff, a lot of

267
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.519
it just being at home all the
time, which I really rarely ever was.

268
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.519
But you know, did you guys
participate? I mean, Kevin,

269
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.279
I know you had UIL literary events
and stuff like that. Did you Were

270
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.839
you part of that group at all? Yeah? I did a few things

271
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.880
I did. I mean as a
kid, I growing up, I was

272
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.839
very good at spelling in math.
But as I got into high school and

273
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.640
open and quit trying to do things
like that, I got into like creative

274
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:44.839
writing. Yeah. Same. Oral
reading was one too. I think I

275
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.039
believe that was what it was called, where you kind of take a story

276
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.720
or a book and then you kind
of replay it in your own Yeah.

277
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.640
Almost like honestly, it's almost like
five minutes of stand up. It's if

278
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.599
you're kind of prepared and you're going
off a script and regurgitating a book in

279
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.200
your way and what you took from
it. And they had like weird they

280
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.200
had like a fiction and a nonfiction, and that was that was fun to

281
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.039
do. I did that, but
it was also but it was great because

282
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.720
you got to go. You'd get
out of school to go to the competitions.

283
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.799
I mean I was out of school
so much. Being they called it

284
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.319
GT back in the day, Gifted
and Talented. Did you have to there's

285
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.559
like a handful. It was like
maybe five or six or seven of the

286
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.839
upper classmen in high school that were
part of GT. And we would go

287
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:33.039
to all these literary events and spelling
was one. Creative writing. We did

288
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.720
this thing called headlines where you could
read the body of a story and you

289
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.920
had to come up with the headline
for the newspaper. But not only did

290
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.319
you have to come up with the
headline, it had to be creative and

291
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.240
interesting, but you had to format
it to the template. Yeah, it

292
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:51.200
had to you knew what the value
of each fun each upper case and lower

293
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.279
case letter was and it had to
fit under a certain amount of spaces and

294
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.960
these parameters that they gave you.
That was really fun, but they had

295
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:02.480
all kinds I mean de bait.
Yeah. Like I wasn't part of a

296
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.640
debate team, but my senior year
I did l D which is Lincoln Douglas

297
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:10.319
Debate where you debate one other person
and you have to I'm sure regular debates

298
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:15.160
like this as well, where you're
presented both sides of a of a of

299
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:19.680
an argument and you have to regardless
of how you feel about that particular topic,

300
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.559
you had to. You were assigned
one or the other, the pro

301
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.599
or for and against, and you
had to. You had a certain amount

302
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.039
of time to research that topic and
then prepare and go in and debate it

303
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.319
against an opponent. And that was
really fun. Man. That's good.
