00:00All right. Question of the day. Oh, question of the day. This should be some interesting answers. What is the bravest thing you've ever done? And it's based on, I just saw the story. It happened last Thursday, but the story that the New York Post put up, I think it was yesterday. So there was a Disney World employee.
00:19Yeah, I saw this. That wound up in the hospital with two fractured vertebrae and a bunch of cuts and stuff. After he jumped in front of a, you know, the Indiana Jones exhibit, the boulder fell off the rails and started rolling and bouncing toward the audience. And he jumped in front of it and put both. It's actually kind of funny. Poor guy. Put both hands on it and wham. What you thought happened, happened. Did he? I saw the video of it. I can't remember. Did it eventually roll into the audience? No, he stopped it. It rolled into like the pit in front of the audience.
00:48Okay. You know, that's scary. And he was plastered on the bottom of it. But he's getting a lot of love. And I'm guessing Disney's going to take care of him. But he jumped in front of a 400 pound rolling boulder. Disney should take care of him. And everybody sitting in the, the, the window of space. First couple rows. Yeah. Well, they would have rolled over. Should get him at least a fruit basket or something. Yeah. That was brave. Okay. What's the bravest thing you've ever done? Bravest thing I've ever done. I'll actually. And we take serious and non-serious. Yeah, I'll take. I have two. I have kind of one of each.
01:16Um, this goes back to a story that I told Seth earlier in the show. I would say getting into a vehicle, a bill to my ex father-in-law on a drive into a acres and acres of sugar cane, where if he left me there, I couldn't be found.
01:31You were in the Pine Barrens.
01:32Just asking him permission to marry his daughter while on a ride where there were no other witnesses around.
01:39Because I was a Yankee to him back then. I was just some Yankee that had poisoned his daughter's brain.
01:44You were a carpet bagger.
01:45Right, right, right.
01:47So, so that was.
01:47Heavy on the begging.
01:48So that was number one.
01:49Number two, the, number two, I would say getting into radio is mine.
01:54You know what? That's a great answer for you.
01:56I was.
01:57Because you, you were set.
01:58I took like an, well, I, I mean, I got my offer the day I got fired from my previous job, but I was, I was in sale.
02:04I would have gotten another job in two seconds.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Um, I was in sales and I was doing really, really well.
02:09I got the call that day and I was in such a low place.
02:12I was like, screw it.
02:13I've always wanted to do this and I'll move back to Houston to do it.
02:16And I took like a, literally like a not 80 to 90% pay cut to do it for a few years.
02:20Yeah.
02:21So that was mine.
02:22I think, uh, mine was when I was in sixth grade, there was an eighth grader who was, uh, bullying this kid.
02:30And, and, and I was like, and it was just, it was real nice.
02:34Like, it was a nice, like nerdy kid, you know, a classmate of mine, a sixth grader.
02:38And, and, uh, like the, I can't remember what he's doing.
02:41He's like, had him by the collar and was like giving him a noogie or something.
02:45And I just, I was like, Nope, going to do it.
02:48And I bum rushed him and tried to tackle him and didn't, I bounced right off of him.
02:54And then he beat the crap out of me.
02:56Yeah.
02:56Just beat the crap out of him.
02:57But he got off of the kid you were trying to protect at least.
03:00Yeah.
03:00And I think he ended up getting in trouble.
03:01I think he might be.
03:03I don't know.
03:03Did he get a good one?
03:04That was definitely in the ledger when he ended up getting.
03:06So he was a bully bully.
03:08He was nothing worse than a bully, man.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Yeah.
03:10Dude.
03:11I retroactively have tremendous respect for sixth grade Seth.
03:15I do too.
03:16That's a great story, man.
03:17That's a great story.
03:18Yeah.
03:18You got a good heart, dude.
03:20Nice job.
03:20The only, the only one that came, the only one that came.
03:23And it's never happened again since.
03:25I should have gone and gotten a teacher.
03:26But, you know, I thought I just watched a movie or something.
03:28No.
03:28Vigilante justice.
03:30Miss man.
03:30Miss man.
03:30Miss man.
03:31Take off the bra and be a man.
03:33Exactly, Harlan.
03:34Yeah.
03:35Yeah.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Vigilante justice.
03:38That was awesome.
03:39Oh my God.
03:40The, the, the only one I thought of is kind of funny, but, uh, so when I was at the Chronicle
03:45early 1991, uh, it was right after Desert Storm and, and they didn't want to make any
03:51reporters go to Iraq.
03:53And, and, and I, I, I, I volunteered, uh, I volunteered to be embedded, you know, with
03:59whatever, uh, and I, I started filling out all the paperwork, signing up for the classes
04:03and all that.
04:05And the whole time my wife was just like, you're not going, you're not going, you're not going.
04:10And I was like, yeah, because my whole family has been, as you know, real involved in the
04:14military and I went to college.
04:15So I never joined the military.
04:16I was like, this will be a good thing to kind of, you know, be a part of it.
04:20And so I ended up having to go back to the editor in chief, knock on his door, say, uh,
04:26yeah, what, all that stuff I've been doing, uh, just forget it.
04:30She was hot.
04:32So it was, it was, it was, that was why you didn't do it.
04:34Yeah.
04:34Cause it's a jam.
04:35Yeah.
04:35But I, I, I went through like a month of all the stuff I was going to be embedded.
04:39I thought it'd be kind of cool.
04:40Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Were you going to go over and report on sports over there?
04:46You're all in camo and everything.
04:48They were looking for volunteers and, uh, and I thought, oh, cool.
04:51You know, my dad was in my grandpa in world war one, dad in world war two,
04:54brother in Vietnam.
04:55I thought this could be cool, but no.
04:57Jam pulled the rug right out from under you.
04:59I blame my wife for lack of valor in my life.
05:03Same.
05:04I'll tell you what, I would have gone over there and taken care of all that
05:06terrorism stuff myself.
05:08Stupid old lady wouldn't let me.
05:09Wouldn't have been no war.
05:12Wouldn't have been no war.
05:13Big loss for this nation, I'll tell you.
05:14There would have been no war.
05:16Y'all watched Jack Bauer on 24, patterned after me.
05:19Yeah.
05:20All right.
05:21Fellas, have a great show.
05:22Thanks, man.
05:23I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how brave the audience is.
05:25Yes, it's going to be fun.
05:27Yeah, it'll be fun.
05:27That is good.
05:28I think we need to judge how brave our audience is.
05:30How brave are you?
05:31We need to quantify it.
05:33Uh, cross talk brought to you by D and I'm auto leasing.
05:35Seth antibodies to you football Friday tomorrow, baby.
05:38Antibodies to you.
05:38And just let me say, I'm grateful that your father-in-law didn't know that you would one
05:44day divorce his daughter when he was thinking about burying you, uh, out in the wilderness
05:49of Louisiana one day because, uh, I never would have known you.
05:53Good job disguising your bad intentions pain and somebody else.
