23
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you sir, Happy Friday.

24
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Right back at you, brother, And for whatever reason you

25
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>popped up in my head, because this book is about

26
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 1>equipping future leaders with essential skills and the importance of

27
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 1>us sharing our all of our learned, the experience and

28
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 1>our collective knowledge with the younger people, the next generation,

29
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 1>to make them productive and essential, critical members of our nation.

30
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>And as you emphasize this, which is critical for national security.

31
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>We had a brilliant man on every week on this

32
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>program named Jack add And who's a former anchor, and

33
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>he's an author, and he was a lawyer and he's

34
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>a historian. But he talked about H. G. Wells, who

35
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>was a big fan of socialism. We all know that

36
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the failures of socialism and I think one of the

37
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>reasons it fails is because it does not encourage work.

38
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 1>There is no reward for what you do when you participate.

39
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>But also it made me think about and comment on

40
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>we are the ones responsible for our elect officials. In

41
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>elected officials don't always have the most altruistic motives and

42
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>in their minds they think more about themselves tend to

43
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>be malignant narcissists and end up not helping society at large,

44
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 1>but only using the job as a springboard for their

45
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>own personal benefit.

46
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I agree with that completely. I ran a congressional

47
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>race last year. I was outspent by twelve million dollars

48
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 2>pees and just kind of learned that money less in

49
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the hard way.

50
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you know, of course, as you have showing

51
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>this book, if you're the type of person we need

52
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>in that leadership capacity, you're not driven by self motivation.

53
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>You're driven by this this shared experience. Is this idea

54
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of using what you learned as a combat surgeon and

55
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>in your business life to help others out and equip

56
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 1>these future leaders with these essential skills. What are we

57
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>missing in society here? What's your biggest concern for the

58
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>future of America?

59
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Josh Boy Yeah. I go to work every day as

60
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>an emergency doctor, and I see the anxiety, the depression,

61
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>the suicide, and this younger population. We have so much

62
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>work to do. And then as a military commander, I

63
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>deal with them at eighteen to twenty five years old.

64
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>They're joining the military, they have good intentions, and they

65
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>just they lack the resiliency skills. They lack the ability

66
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>to adapt the communication skills. This is just a generation

67
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that we shut them out of so during critical time

68
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and their development, we shut them out of school, we

69
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>shut them out of church. And they already had communication

70
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>issues to begin with, you know, because this is the

71
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>whole social media generation. They've never known a world without that.

72
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>And so now more than ever, it is important to

73
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>get out there and contribute in your community, like face

74
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to face, get out there and coach, get out there

75
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>and volunteer, get involved in your church. You know, work

76
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>with some animals. You know, those are go to emotional

77
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 2>support animals that these animal shells. So there's so many

78
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>ways that you contribute. The government is not going to

79
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>save us. It has to be you get out there.

80
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you see?

81
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And I have to assume you're going to agree with

82
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>me on this one. But I've observed over the years,

83
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and I've talked to so many people in various capacities,

84
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 1>from doctors to politicians, to authors and psychiatrists, psychologists, law

85
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>enforcement officers. The breakdown of the family unit. This whole

86
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 1>idea that children are being born and without you know,

87
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>a solid foundation's family structure. You know, young people especially,

88
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I think boys being brought up in households without a

89
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>father in them. Did you see any of that or

90
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 1>do you see any of that with the recruits in

91
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the American military or do most of them come from stable,

92
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 1>traditional families.

93
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're certainly coming from all walks of life.

94
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a very safe assumption that the large

95
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>portion of some mental health issues and then you look

96
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>at you know, crime, and they do tend to come

97
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>from households without that type of support. You know, just

98
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.759
<v Speaker 2>sitting down at the dinner table with your family means everything.

99
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Everyone is so busy, regardless of how many parents are

100
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>in the household, finding that time. You can get that support,

101
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>but you have to make time. Just sit down at

102
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 2>the dinner table, talk about today, what went well, what

103
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't go well? You know, hopefully they're making some mistakes

104
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>they can learn from and then we can talk about

105
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 2>what different choices could have been made to have a

106
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 2>different outcome for those for those decisions. But the further

107
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 2>we get away from that, I think you'll find a

108
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>large portion of that. Think of the crime and boy,

109
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>you see a lot of these school shooters, how many

110
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>of these shooters actually have a stable household with the

111
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>two parents, right. I think if you do some background,

112
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna find most of them do not.

113
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Most of them do not, And you see that with

114
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the crime in the streets at night. You know, I

115
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know what kind of structure you grew up with,

116
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a doctor, Colonel Maconkey, but you know I had to

117
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 1>be at home by a curfew. My parents implemented a curfew,

118
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and damn it, if you weren't home or did not

119
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>call them for an extension, you're in a world of

120
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>hot water hurt we have. You know, young people running around,

121
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>running amuck in the city of Cincinnati can maybe acts

122
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 1>of vandalism and crime and congregating in the streets and

123
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>scaring the living hell out of the folks that just

124
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>want to go down and have a nice evening out.

125
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, I always hear about that, and I think

126
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>what is going on at home that they can even

127
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>get away with that?

128
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, I used to my dad was very strict.

129
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I came from a family of five kids, and boy,

130
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought I had it bad grown up right. And

131
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the older I get, the more I relate to that,

132
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Like mynd goodness. I was so fortunate to have that discipline,

133
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't be anywhere right now without that. So

134
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I was very blessed.

135
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, considering you're still involved in the American military, commander

136
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 1>of the what four fifty ninth Aeromedical Staging Squadron, have

137
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you seen the uptick in recruits? And you know, as

138
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a corollary to that, if there's some parents out there with,

139
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, young people that are getting to be of

140
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>military service age, put in a plug and tell tell

141
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 1>my listeners why you would recommend that as a good

142
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>choice for their young people.

143
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Boy, So, ten years ago we had right around a

144
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>third of Americans aged eighteen to twenty four we're eligible

145
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 2>just medically and physically to serve in the military. It

146
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 2>is now down to like less than twenty three percent,

147
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>oh jeez, and less than yeah, and less than zero

148
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>point four percent of the population the overall American population serves.

149
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>So your country needs you. You can be part of

150
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>a team, something bigger than yourself. We started to see

151
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 2>a huge increase in recruiting in December of last year,

152
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>just with the policy changes. Thank goodness, seventy six million

153
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Americans got together and decided to move things in a

154
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 2>different direction, which I was very happy with. You can

155
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.399
<v Speaker 2>take pride in your service. We're heading in the right direction,

156
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 2>we have the right support, and then you can be

157
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>part of something bigger than yourself. So America needs.

158
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>You, and that seems to me to be the answer

159
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to this lack of socialization. That children are stuck in

160
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.879
<v Speaker 1>front of their devices all day long. They have no

161
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>apparent desire to interact with their fellow human beings. Isolationism.

162
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, kids aren't getting married and have no desire

163
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.399
<v Speaker 1>to have married or children anymore. But being part of

164
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 1>that group, being a critical element of a team, and

165
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 1>having others rely upon you as much as you're relying

166
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>upon them, that has got to be so I mean,

167
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 1>just life changing for the good.

168
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.679
<v Speaker 2>That lack of connection has everything to do with the

169
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 2>mental health crisis that we're having now. People need that.

170
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>We have to get back to that. And I know

171
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I take a lot of pride in my service. It's

172
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 2>been twenty four years now, and it's the thing that

173
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm most proud of professionally. You know, my family, my

174
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>three children and my wife. That's but I'm most proud

175
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>of personally, and then professionally, it's my military service.

176
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, since you're the author of the book we're talking about, Well,

177
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>we haven't really talked directly about the book. Be the

178
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>weight behind the sphere. Explain sort of a thumbnail sketch

179
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>of what the book is about and the audience you

180
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>directed the book toward.

181
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 2>So be the weight behind the sphere. That's my personal

182
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 2>leadership ethos. I've been very blessed in my military career.

183
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I've worked with some special operations, combat search and rescue,

184
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>with medical director for PJS. So that's the tip of

185
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the spear. These are the men kicking down doors, taking

186
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 2>down Ben Lauden, rescuing the children in those Taie cave

187
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>systems in twenty eighteen. I'm a doctor. I don't take lives,

188
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I save lives. I can't be the tip of the spear,

189
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>but I can be the weight behind that sphere. And

190
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>that's what our best resource is in this country. It's people.

191
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 2>It's teachers, it's coaches, it's volunteers and families. Every special operator,

192
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 2>those heroes have those in their lives. That's the way

193
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>behind their spear. That's where America, that's what sets us apart,

194
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 2>is a country. So I need people to engage their communities,

195
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 2>volunteer coach, be a mentor. That is what's going to

196
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>help this generation make us stronger as a nation, and

197
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that is our national security.

198
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And so your book is really like a motivational book

199
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to get people who are maybe disconnected or not sharing

200
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>their knowledge base with others to actually get out there

201
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and do.

202
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Something about it. Absolutely, this is my prescription to the problem,

203
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and I've been very blessed. It's done quite well and

204
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>was nominated for Purwitzer Prize next month.

205
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Actually, oh, congratulations on that. Well, you just sold yourself

206
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a few more copies. Is based upon that nomination alone,

207
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>notwithstanding the message that you bring here. Now, would you

208
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>also recommend it for perhaps young adults as well?

209
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Dude, that was initially who I wrote it. Four. So

210
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>the whole first session of the book is just the

211
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.679
<v Speaker 2>leadership accountabody taking ownership, you know, decision making, those basics

212
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 2>that I see lacking in our current younger military and

213
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 2>children that are coming to my emergency departments. They're clearly

214
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 2>lacking those skills, and I'm hoping this is a great

215
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>way for them to learn. I've got some great stories

216
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>in there from the er and some combat experiences, and

217
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I hope those help some other people. And it looks

218
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 2>like it has so far.

219
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Well apparently so very well received, obviously with the Pulitzer

220
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Prize nomination. Doctor uh, doctor, colonel or colonel doctor. I

221
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>think I joke with you last time you're on about

222
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 1>that order of importance. My listeners will decide. Josh McConkie,

223
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>author of Weight, be the weight behind the spear. Your

227
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.320

<v Speaker 1>you are doing with by but what you've done with

230
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>writing the book, your service to our country, and your

231
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 1>continued service through your motivational efforts. And let's hope some

232
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>people will buy the book and maybe share it with

233
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 1>their friends once they get motivated to do to help

234
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 1>out as well.

00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity to be

236
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.519

237
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>It's been a real pleasure. I'll keep my fingers crossed

238
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on the awards or well deserved, Doctor McConkie. It's been

239
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure. It's eight eighteen here fifty five k c

240
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>DE talk station. It's also a pleasure to recommend to you.

241
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But Herbert Motors they're going to take great care of you.

242
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Folks at Butt Herbert Motors are so proud of well,

243
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 1>but Herbert. It's I guess great grandfather this juncture. They're

244
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:41.039
<v Speaker 1>five generations, family owned operated business. But excuse me, but

245
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Herbert's motto was the most expensive tool you will buy

246
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>is a cheap one. That's because it will break, it

247
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>will conk out, and you'll end up having to go

248
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 1>through the process again, kind of like that stupid thing

249
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>that I did, which was go to the box store

250
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a well replacement for my push mower, yes

251
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>powered mower. And when I went with Butter Herbert Motors

252
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>it up and I elected to go with the commercial

253
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>grade Honda of Howard push mower. And I loved when

254
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the Herberts, I can't remember if it was Jim or

255
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 1>John Herbert I was working with. You'll work with one

256
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Herberts too, because it's a Herbert family run operation.

257
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Said you know, this is the last mower you'll ever

258
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 1>have to buy. That's how well it's built. That's what

259
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Bud Herbert Motor sells. Only the finest world class brands

260

268
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.879

269
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 1>in the aisle does not know what he's talking about.

270
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.720
