Actually it was three of us the first time too, which was James Fuller.
00:03:47.384 --> 00:03:48.108
He was the incumbent.
00:03:48.108 --> 00:03:49.764
He was on for 33 years.

I beat Matt Galindo by like eight votes Wow.
00:04:01.549 --> 00:04:03.813
That's crazy man by eight votes, so every vote counts.
00:04:03.813 --> 00:04:05.365
Every vote does count.
00:04:05.365 --> 00:04:06.742
So I beat him by like eight votes.
00:04:06.742 --> 00:04:11.741
And then, um, I went to a runoff with james fuller and I I beat him in the runoff.
00:04:11.741 --> 00:04:14.151
Wow, so I've been on board for four years damn.
00:04:14.353 --> 00:04:17.461
Yes sir, is that a pretty hard man going through like elections like that?
00:04:17.461 --> 00:04:20.185
I mean it's stressful, or stressful it.
00:04:20.625 --> 00:04:22.548
It wears on man.
00:04:22.548 --> 00:04:24.069
It wears on everything.
00:04:24.069 --> 00:04:29.375
I mean my wife, my kids, like I mean it, just it wears.
00:04:29.375 --> 00:04:31.206
My wife takes me on my way here.
00:04:31.206 --> 00:04:33.105
She's like I'm so ready for school board to be over.
00:04:33.848 --> 00:04:34.569
Yeah, for sure.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:50.653
I'm just ready for you to just be able to sit down and not have to leave the house every night, because it's just when you're running, you just like you're never home, because you're always doing something, always being invited to something, always trying to go and tell people what you're about.
00:04:51.033 --> 00:04:55.367
Yeah, yes, sir, I get you, and so I know last night you were busy.
00:04:55.367 --> 00:04:56.920
You were on the PBS last night, right?
00:04:56.980 --> 00:04:58.161
Yeah, I was on PBS last night.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.122
How was that for you?
00:04:59.122 --> 00:05:00.161
I mean, that's got to be stressful.
00:05:00.322 --> 00:05:03.805
Man, it's very stressful because I'm not a very good public speaker.
00:05:03.805 --> 00:05:06.447
Everything I do, man, I shoot from the heart.
00:05:06.447 --> 00:05:08.749
I'm not trained by anybody.
00:05:08.749 --> 00:05:10.329
Nobody tells me what to say.
00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:11.711
I have no agenda.
00:05:11.711 --> 00:05:14.072
I'm just here for the kids, man.
00:05:14.072 --> 00:05:18.055
I love kids and I just want to be right and do what's right by kids.
00:05:18.877 --> 00:05:19.257
I got you.
00:05:19.257 --> 00:05:22.142
I mean, those questions are coming at you.
00:05:22.142 --> 00:05:32.687
There seems to be a lot about a school, about like you know what's going on, which I guess because the school board, but it wasn't like really much about their integrity or what they've done or you know what they believe in and, in other words, politically wise Right.
00:05:32.687 --> 00:05:39.786
That's how I feel, because I feel like that's important nowadays, you know, and in some, some certain aspects, especially when it comes to school education and kids being educated.
00:05:39.846 --> 00:05:50.117
Extremely important, right, because it's almost like an osmosis from the people from top to bottom, just leeching their beliefs into school.
00:05:50.117 --> 00:05:53.569
That's what it is and that's what we're all wary about.
00:05:53.569 --> 00:06:22.187
In this day and age, the social media age, it's become hyper-focused what kids are learning and I think that's why you know people, uh, being homeschooled has skyrocketed so much, because that the concentration on the people that are teaching the kids is completely skyrocketed from what it used to be right, we've talked about it here before because we had actually a family member of my wife's that was here and he's a teacher.
00:06:22.187 --> 00:06:40.529
Okay, and I think it's really, it was really important for us to have a teacher on and talk to him and see, like, what his thoughts are as a young teacher one of the youngest teachers I've ever seen, right, uh, going in what he believes and what he wants to teach the kids and just make sure that we're as pure of heart as possible.
00:06:40.831 --> 00:06:44.064
Yeah I appreciate you're so innocent, your wife's family what's his name?
00:06:44.064 --> 00:06:56.117
Well, you're uh saraya saraya man, I appreciate what saraya does for the kids man, I love, I love like teachers and like I love teachers man yeah they do a lot, absolutely they really do.
00:06:56.137 --> 00:06:58.545
I mean, you think about the kids they deal with, especially on certain age groups.
00:06:58.545 --> 00:07:03.427
It's like dang man, that's a, that's a lot of uh, you know they got some kids that have some bad attitudes they gotta deal with.
00:07:03.447 --> 00:07:03.987
Deal with it, right.
00:07:03.987 --> 00:07:05.591
Yeah, they got to deal with 20-something kids.
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:13.149
Yeah, it's crazy man and so, like you've been on the school board, I mean, do you get a lot of like stress from that, like a lot of the parents coming at you?
00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:24.656
Oh, yeah, yes, sir, that's mainly what it is a lot of trying to appease parents and keep parents happy, keep teachers happy, because teachers want to come to us and talk to us too.
00:07:24.656 --> 00:07:29.377
And a lot of teachers tell us man, we can't come talk to you because of retaliation.
00:07:29.377 --> 00:07:34.358
And I try to stress to the teachers like you, come talk to me, I promise you there won't be no retaliation.
00:07:34.358 --> 00:07:35.264
If it is, we're gonna.
00:07:35.264 --> 00:07:37.031
We're gonna figure out why.
00:07:37.031 --> 00:07:40.201
Yeah, because there shouldn't be retaliation, because the teacher's not happy.
00:07:40.201 --> 00:07:47.533
If they have something they need to, um, to get out, and they need somebody to get it out to, that's what I'm here for.
00:07:47.533 --> 00:07:48.675
That's what I'm here for.
00:07:48.675 --> 00:07:59.889
I mean, they'll tell them, go talk to your supervisors first, but sometimes the supervisor's the problem, so they need somebody else to talk to, and that's what I'm here for and I've helped a lot of teachers in that aspect as well.
00:07:59.889 --> 00:08:01.524
Teachers call me all the time.
00:08:02.286 --> 00:08:02.627
I got you.
00:08:02.627 --> 00:08:03.108
That's amazing.
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:05.500
I'm open.
00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:06.002
Open door policy.
00:08:06.002 --> 00:08:06.382
Open door policy.
00:08:06.403 --> 00:08:13.470
I love that man I love that some administration may get mad because they reached out to a board member and skipped them, but I got the open door policy.
00:08:13.470 --> 00:08:16.625
So if you want to come talk to me, come talk to me, because I listen.
00:08:16.625 --> 00:08:19.661
Yeah, I think that's great, yeah that is awesome and and like.
00:08:19.682 --> 00:08:20.584
So I know you get these like.
00:08:20.584 --> 00:08:23.329
Uh, y'all get these like those bills, or what would you call them like they're.
00:08:23.329 --> 00:08:27.317
I know y'all gotta pass them and policies and I hear that a lot of times.
00:08:27.317 --> 00:08:31.026
These are stacked with a lot of papers, like it's not just one simple thing, is it true like that?
00:08:31.166 --> 00:08:34.384
oh yeah, man you look at the policy man, it's a whole bunch.
00:08:34.384 --> 00:08:37.211
I was on the policy committee the first two years I was on the board.
00:08:37.211 --> 00:08:42.469
Oh my gosh man, I can't even remember all the policies that we have.
00:08:42.469 --> 00:08:43.110
There's so many.
00:08:43.110 --> 00:08:44.052
So we have it.
00:08:44.052 --> 00:08:47.326
Now you go look it up.
00:08:47.326 --> 00:08:50.143
You got to go look it up If there's a policy for it.
00:08:50.143 --> 00:08:52.789
You got to go look it up because I can't remember all them policies.
00:08:52.789 --> 00:08:53.412
There's a lot.
00:08:54.581 --> 00:08:55.447
And I've always heard that too.
00:08:55.809 --> 00:08:56.494
There's a lot.
00:08:56.494 --> 00:09:01.993
That's wild because you would think when you stuff a policy like that, it's very difficult for people to follow.
00:09:01.993 --> 00:09:06.423
Like that, it's very difficult for people to follow.
00:09:06.423 --> 00:09:06.664
Yeah, so how?
00:09:06.664 --> 00:09:10.980
How exactly you're going to get, uh, reform, or how are you exactly going to get people to follow any of these policies when it's so stacked?
00:09:11.081 --> 00:09:13.268
up so stacked I mean, but we have them online.
00:09:13.268 --> 00:09:22.221
You can go look at them if there's a policy about whatever, let's go look it up online, but I mean, there it's a lot, so it's very hard to uh memorize.
00:09:22.523 --> 00:09:23.686
I got you so.
00:09:23.686 --> 00:09:25.921
So what got you to run for the school board, man?
00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:28.288
So I was in the Marine Corps for six years.
00:09:28.288 --> 00:09:35.846
I served the country for six years and when we were in, I was getting ready to get out because I got medical discharge I actually had a heart attack overseas.
00:09:35.846 --> 00:09:47.067
And they tell you, when you get out, go back home and get involved in the community, find something to do in the community, to get involved and I love kids.
00:09:47.067 --> 00:09:48.090
I referee football.
00:09:48.090 --> 00:09:49.633
I've been refereeing for 16 years.
00:09:49.633 --> 00:09:52.904
This is my 16th season and, um, I was like man.
00:09:52.904 --> 00:09:57.581
One day I was sitting there and somebody was like man, you should try the school board.
00:09:57.581 --> 00:09:58.722
I was like, what's that?
00:09:58.722 --> 00:10:05.674
So, um, I looked into it was like they deal with kids, teachers, parents.
00:10:05.674 --> 00:10:07.485
Yeah, let me try that out.
00:10:07.485 --> 00:10:08.248
I'll try that out.
00:10:08.248 --> 00:10:08.669
I'll run.
00:10:08.669 --> 00:10:11.509
Honestly, I put my name on the ballot and didn't even think I'd win.
00:10:11.509 --> 00:10:16.205
I mean, the incumbent was sitting there 33 years Like you ain't going to beat him.
00:10:16.205 --> 00:10:18.947
So I was surprised I actually won.
00:10:20.684 --> 00:10:22.811
I mean I won the three-man race by eight votes.
00:10:22.811 --> 00:10:29.849
I was surprised by that and then when we went into just me and the incumbent, I beat him.
00:10:29.849 --> 00:10:31.311
I was really surprised.
00:10:31.311 --> 00:10:33.114
The news people were at his house.
00:10:33.114 --> 00:10:40.563
Oh, really, yeah, they were at his house to interview him and when the results came out, they called me and said hey, we're at the wrong house.
00:10:40.563 --> 00:10:42.149
Where are you at?
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:43.283
Ready to shoot off?
00:10:43.302 --> 00:10:44.206
the confetti they was like.
00:10:44.206 --> 00:10:44.486
Where are you?
00:10:44.506 --> 00:10:45.187
at ready to shoot off the confetti.
00:10:45.207 --> 00:10:45.908
Yeah, they was like where are you at?
00:10:45.908 --> 00:10:49.380
Because we need to come to you because you're winning the race and it don't look like he's gonna catch you.
00:10:49.380 --> 00:10:55.243
I was like, really so I was at my buddy's house, which is, uh, tommy bishop he's the board president right now.
00:10:55.243 --> 00:11:02.664
I was we were friends before the board, like we were friends before I got on the board and, um, I was at his house just hanging out.
00:11:02.664 --> 00:11:10.413
I was not even thinking I was going to win and I pulled it out and the news people came over and we did our shot.
00:11:10.413 --> 00:11:12.576
That's amazing.
00:11:12.836 --> 00:11:13.376
But you know what?
00:11:13.376 --> 00:11:16.960
That's something that is ringing true all over the place.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:32.187
I think a lot of people want change not in every level of politics at this point, right, because you have the people that have been running the country, the city, everything for so long that all these people now that are starting to come in with a breath of fresh air.
00:11:32.187 --> 00:11:39.091
It's great you know what I'm saying, the mayor being one of them, who we spoke to and it was great to see.
00:11:39.091 --> 00:11:43.669
It's a breath of fresh air and you can see the changes from it.
00:11:43.831 --> 00:11:44.231
You know what I?
00:11:44.272 --> 00:11:49.628
mean, I think with that many years doing something, it's stagnant, right?
00:11:49.628 --> 00:11:49.729
Yeah?
00:11:49.989 --> 00:11:50.791
it's just normal.
00:11:50.791 --> 00:11:54.472
I mean, four years ain't really enough of course, because I wasn't gonna run again.
00:11:54.714 --> 00:11:57.142
I was like man, I I gotta finish what I started.
00:11:57.142 --> 00:11:58.745
We just getting started.
00:11:58.745 --> 00:12:00.870
I'm four years in, I'm just getting started.
00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:03.085
So like I'm not allowed, I don't.
00:12:03.085 --> 00:12:05.581
I don't say much on that stage, but I do do the work.
00:12:05.581 --> 00:12:08.207
I do get back there and do work.
00:12:08.207 --> 00:12:11.135
So, man, uh, four years ain't enough.
00:12:11.135 --> 00:12:12.399
So I talked to my wife.
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.070
I decided the last minute to go ahead and just run.
00:12:15.070 --> 00:12:19.504
I had people all over the town calling me and saying hey, you gotta run, yeah, yeah.
00:12:19.504 --> 00:12:22.631
You can't let them, we can't let the two running against you win.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:31.600
So yeah, for sure, get in there and, uh, you got a little nervous too whenever I was speaking to my wife about it and I was like she was brought up and said I don't think he's running.
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.807
And I looked you up and I said, oh, you know he is.
00:12:33.807 --> 00:12:43.668
But I got a little scared because I know we got a guy on there and I will put this out there because that's one man we spoke about before and he tried to do the kid-friendly drag show was Courtney Ratliff.
00:12:43.668 --> 00:12:53.566
Yeah, yeah, and that's why I feel like yours is such a special kind of election, because that's those are the ones that are, instead of trying to educate, they're trying to indoctrinate, and that's why I don't want to happen.
00:12:53.566 --> 00:13:06.783
Yeah, because we care about education like just straight educate our kid teach them crazy, right, any of the extracurricular stuff.
00:13:06.803 --> 00:13:07.847
You can do that at home with your kids.
00:13:07.847 --> 00:13:08.571
I feel that's me, man.
00:13:08.571 --> 00:13:14.432
I feel like, on that aspect, since you brought it up, the audrey all age drag show, man, don't push that on kids don't push that on kids.
00:13:14.613 --> 00:13:19.307
If you want to do that when you're an adult, when you're 18 and older, have at it.
00:13:19.307 --> 00:13:20.370
That's between you and god.
00:13:20.370 --> 00:13:26.922
The bible tells me and tells us in the bible that you're responsible for your kids up until they're 18.
00:13:26.922 --> 00:13:33.863
So if you teach your kids the right way when they turn 18 and they want to do that, that's between them and God.
00:13:33.863 --> 00:13:35.166
But don't push.
00:13:35.166 --> 00:13:36.067
Don't push it on kids.
00:13:36.067 --> 00:13:37.510
Yes, sir.
00:13:37.772 --> 00:13:53.374
And you were telling us I don't know if you want to tell the story to everybody, because I know you got the documentary coming out that you were just telling us about if you want to tell a little bit about that, because I think it kind of goes in line where you were the accused instead of the accuser in that particular moment, right so?
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:54.303
there was a pastor.
00:13:54.303 --> 00:13:55.830
His name was, uh, john I'm a chuckle.
00:13:55.830 --> 00:14:00.424
He came down to our school board meeting and he read us some books that was in the library.
00:14:00.424 --> 00:14:02.428
I mean, there was a lot of people that read us these books.
00:14:02.428 --> 00:14:04.312
I had no idea these books was in our library.
00:14:04.312 --> 00:14:05.956
I'm on the board and I didn't even know.
00:14:05.956 --> 00:14:08.705
You know, I mean, I don't go in the library and read every single book.
00:14:08.705 --> 00:14:10.673
There's thousands of books and I can't read them all.
00:14:10.673 --> 00:14:13.586
So I appreciate the community coming out and letting us know.
00:14:13.586 --> 00:14:18.421
Well, this guy came out and, um, during his spill, he read the book.
00:14:18.421 --> 00:14:23.289
It was some some bad stuff in that book and I was like man, that can't be in our library, there's no way.
00:14:23.289 --> 00:14:24.211
Um.
00:14:24.211 --> 00:14:30.870
But what he said that really irked me and got to me was when he said there's six men on this board.
00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:37.270
If, um, the if y'all don't remove these books, y'all either a punk or a pervert.
00:14:37.270 --> 00:14:42.160
And I was like no not me I'm not no punk or no pervert.
00:14:42.761 --> 00:14:43.844
So, uh, we caught a little.
00:14:43.844 --> 00:14:46.803
Once he got off, the cops escorted him out because he wouldn't leave.
00:14:46.803 --> 00:14:51.870
We didn't escort him out because what he was saying, we gave him his three minutes, respectfully, like we let him have his three minutes.
00:14:51.870 --> 00:14:55.283
Um, he went over his three minutes.
00:14:55.283 --> 00:14:57.389
So that's when the cops came in and escorted down.
00:14:57.389 --> 00:15:02.058
People think, oh, they escorted him out because they didn't want to hear what he had to say and we heard everything he had to say.
00:15:02.058 --> 00:15:03.442
We just had.
00:15:03.442 --> 00:15:06.475
They escorted him out because you get three minutes once you go over that.
00:15:06.475 --> 00:15:06.996
You got to go.
00:15:06.996 --> 00:15:09.282
So they escorted him out.
00:15:09.282 --> 00:15:10.432
We called for a recess.
00:15:11.173 --> 00:15:15.062
I went outside and told him hey, it's all over the media, like you can go.
00:15:15.062 --> 00:15:16.091
Look, pull it up right now.
00:15:16.091 --> 00:15:19.879
I said I'm not a punk or a pervert and I I want you to know right now.
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:21.563
He said, well, did you hear what I said?
00:15:21.563 --> 00:15:24.559
If you don't get these books out, you're either a punk or a pervert.
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.498
I said, well, I'll get the book out, but I want you to know I ain't no punk or no?
00:15:27.518 --> 00:15:27.940
pervert.
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:28.500
Yeah yeah, yeah.
00:15:29.751 --> 00:15:35.038
So he left, went back, did his thing, and so we got with the administration.
00:15:35.038 --> 00:15:44.205
I didn't pulled the books out and the school board we got together we were sitting up there on stage texting said, hey, we need to get these books out.
00:15:44.205 --> 00:15:44.524
These are.
00:15:44.725 --> 00:15:49.707
These are pretty bad credit to you guys yeah yeah, exactly, it's all of us, not just me, but it's all of us.
00:15:49.707 --> 00:15:58.193
So we my wife got on instagram where they saw he saw, where he put on there that a school board member came out trying to fight me.
00:15:58.193 --> 00:16:01.341
Well, I wasn't trying to fight him, I was just letting him know I'm not a punk or a pervert.
00:16:01.341 --> 00:16:02.806
Like no fight at all.
00:16:02.806 --> 00:16:11.432
Like I ain't gonna fight you in front of kids, anyway, not, of course there was no kids there, yeah, but I'm, I represent kids, yeah, so I'm not gonna fight you in front of them anyway.
00:16:11.432 --> 00:16:18.895
So, uh, my wife got on on his little page and was like, hey, the, we got the, they got the books out.
00:16:18.895 --> 00:16:20.519

You know what I mean?
00:16:40.099 --> 00:16:41.080
He got backing.

He said I've never had.
00:17:37.281 --> 00:17:51.538
I've been, I've been to 15 different states speaking to school boards and not one single school board member has ever come out to me and confronted me the way you did and then do something about it, like y'all got the books out.
00:17:51.538 --> 00:17:54.309
So I was like, yeah, I'll come, I'll do it, whatever.
00:17:54.309 --> 00:17:56.454
The whole time I was nervous.
00:17:56.454 --> 00:18:00.853
I was like, oh, he gonna get me down there, he gonna, I'm gonna get to north carolina, end up in the woods.
00:18:02.757 --> 00:18:04.058
End, up in the woods.
00:18:04.078 --> 00:18:05.942

I hope I make it back.
00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:12.634
But it turned out to be good.
00:18:12.674 --> 00:18:14.750
Man, I went to church with him that Sunday.
00:18:14.750 --> 00:18:23.436
His father-in that does the same did the same thing he did Used to go to school boards and talk to school boards about books and stuff that was in the libraries.

And man, they showed me some great hospitality, got me on their show and I mean the documentary came out October 3rd.
00:18:31.903 --> 00:18:42.332
You can find it on 22wordscom, but I'm actually going to air it next Tuesday, on October 29th, at my church at True Light Christian Fellowship on A Street.
00:18:42.332 --> 00:18:43.192
Okay, c-o-m, we're going to air it.
00:18:43.192 --> 00:18:51.025
I bought the license to air it and John gave me permission to air it because you got to pay for the movie if you want to watch it online, right?
00:18:51.025 --> 00:18:55.607
So I paid my part and bought the license to air it.
00:18:55.607 --> 00:19:07.856
Wow, and we're going to show it October 29th at True Light at 6.30 pm I think it's next tuesday and I'm gonna put it on my facebook, put it out there, let everybody I mean it's a community thing everybody pass the information along on all our stuff too.
00:19:07.957 --> 00:19:10.366
I think I think that's, I think that's great.
00:19:10.366 --> 00:19:13.357
I honestly I do like what they're doing.
00:19:13.357 --> 00:19:20.537
Yeah I do like what they're doing how they go about it and everything is a little rough, for sure, but sometimes that's where you get movement.
00:19:20.596 --> 00:19:21.258
And that's exactly what.
00:19:21.258 --> 00:19:21.719
Like.
00:19:21.719 --> 00:19:24.463
He asked me hey, you think you want to do something like this?
00:19:24.463 --> 00:19:27.117
Because he asked me if I'd do it.
00:19:27.117 --> 00:19:28.596
I said man, I'm running for school board.
00:19:28.596 --> 00:19:31.659
Again, I actually asked him if I should run for school board.
00:19:31.659 --> 00:19:37.221
Again he said yeah, don't back down Like run, especially who's running against you, run.
00:19:37.221 --> 00:19:39.176
Don't let them have your seat.
00:19:39.176 --> 00:19:42.853
I said, said, all right, so I'm.
00:19:42.853 --> 00:19:44.479
He encouraged me to run, so that's why I'm running.
00:19:44.499 --> 00:19:45.743
He said if you don't make it, it's god's.
00:19:45.743 --> 00:19:47.510
It's god, it's a reason god didn't put you there.
00:19:47.510 --> 00:19:48.433
Because everything happened.
00:19:48.433 --> 00:19:50.278
God makes everything happen for a reason.
00:19:50.278 --> 00:19:52.092
Yes, sir, very true, so true man.
00:19:52.092 --> 00:19:57.317
He said if you don't make it, we'll get together and you can help me be on my team.
00:19:57.317 --> 00:19:59.421
But I told him, I said I don't want to be rough like you.
00:19:59.421 --> 00:20:02.604
I'm a nice guy, I'm not a mean guy.
00:20:02.604 --> 00:20:04.026
He said we can, we can make some work.
00:20:04.026 --> 00:20:05.938
You don't have to be rough like this.
00:20:05.938 --> 00:20:09.595
And I said, well, I don't want to be rough like that, going in calling people names and stuff.
00:20:09.595 --> 00:20:24.151
I just want to tell them, hey these nasty clips.
00:20:24.171 --> 00:20:24.834
We don't try to do anything crazy.
00:20:24.854 --> 00:20:26.157
Yeah, sometimes you want to, but then you're like it's not worth it.
00:20:26.178 --> 00:20:27.301
To me it's not worth it and it's not intended to him too.
00:20:27.301 --> 00:20:27.723
I talk a little shit.
00:20:27.723 --> 00:20:28.065
I won't lie, yeah.
00:20:28.065 --> 00:20:28.486
Yeah, he does, he does.
00:20:28.486 --> 00:20:29.450
But I talk a little bit of shit, but it's mainly.
00:20:29.450 --> 00:20:35.330
It's mainly to to the people who can handle it large, wide hollywood people who's who aren't gonna give a shit.
00:20:35.351 --> 00:20:36.573
I mean, I'm not perfect either, man.
00:20:36.573 --> 00:20:38.134
I mean, I messed up on the board before.
00:20:38.134 --> 00:20:43.884
I mean I'm a conservative, I'm conservative, and when I first got on the board I had no idea what was going on.
00:20:43.884 --> 00:20:47.125
And when I first got on was COVID, oh okay.
00:20:47.125 --> 00:20:49.575
So we had to mask, man.
00:20:49.575 --> 00:20:50.628
And I messed up, man.
00:20:50.628 --> 00:20:52.877
I voted to keep the kids in masks.
00:20:52.877 --> 00:21:07.922
The worst decision I ever made and I admit it, man, I admit it right now the worst decision I ever made was making those kids wear masks, and I think making them wear masks has messed some of them up, because you can't see your lips when you're trying to teach them how to read, or something like that.
00:21:07.922 --> 00:21:08.422
Yeah, definitely.
00:21:08.422 --> 00:21:12.164
So I messed up, but I won't mess up like that again.
00:21:12.164 --> 00:21:12.984
I learned my lesson.
00:21:14.487 --> 00:21:20.152
And that's the point, right, that's the whole point for everybody.
00:21:20.152 --> 00:21:22.635
When it comes to COVID, I think everybody can point back at covid and like, fuck, I fell for that.
00:21:22.635 --> 00:21:36.773
Yeah, for certain things, right, you trust your elected officials to give you information exactly that has been well thought out, that has been experimented on, that has been stuff that you believe to be true.
00:21:37.596 --> 00:21:47.528
We're learning now and I'm glad we're learning this, right we're learning now that sometimes the misinformation is coming from the top and it's not coming from the little guys like us, right?
00:21:47.528 --> 00:21:59.778
Or joe rogan at the time, right, whoever, whoever, whoever it may be, we're so used to a news outlet or somebody big in politics or anything telling us that this is okay.
00:21:59.778 --> 00:22:15.862
When somebody like Joe Rogan, who's just a media guy, someone who does this for entertainment purposes he doesn't really do it for information purposes, but he does it for entertainment purposes and he asks the right questions and he gets the right information sometimes.
00:22:15.862 --> 00:22:33.116
And the good thing is, now we're actually thinking that way, we're a little bit more open to what some of the little guys are saying, or some of the guys that are not typical are saying, instead of the doctor, like this is perfectly right for you right, and man, we're getting poisoned.
00:22:33.570 --> 00:22:41.397
We had doctors come to that school board meeting that day, man, and was telling us man, you have to keep these kids in mass, and they come to find out, man, the mass don't even work.
00:22:45.529 --> 00:22:45.851
Don't even work.
00:22:45.851 --> 00:22:46.212
Don't even work.
00:22:46.212 --> 00:22:47.518
Yeah, yeah, and it was a confusing time for everybody.
00:22:47.518 --> 00:22:48.682
Yeah, absolutely, and some doctors were on the right side.
00:22:48.702 --> 00:22:53.301
I won't say everyone, yeah a lot of them were definitely following what who was telling them to do or whatever right.
00:22:53.301 --> 00:22:59.156
But for example, I called my doctor because I had a newborn daughter and I called my doctor and I told my doctor hey, what do I do?
00:22:59.156 --> 00:22:59.676
What do?
00:22:59.676 --> 00:23:00.157
What do I do?
00:23:00.157 --> 00:23:01.319
Of course I'm going to panic.
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:03.143
I have a newborn, it's my first child.
00:23:03.143 --> 00:23:04.204
I'm going to panic.
00:23:04.204 --> 00:23:05.513
So what do I do?
00:23:05.513 --> 00:23:08.900
My doctor flat out said you worry about yourself.
00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:17.155
Your kid's going to be fine, don't worry about her at all.
00:23:17.175 --> 00:23:18.195
She's going to be good.
00:23:18.195 --> 00:23:21.118
You worry about yourself because you're overweight.
00:23:21.118 --> 00:23:24.721
Never once told me like, hey, you know, don't take her around this, Don't do that.
00:23:24.721 --> 00:23:31.106
He just said don't worry about her, Her immune system, from what we can tell, it doesn't affect kids.
00:23:31.106 --> 00:23:31.587
Blah, blah, blah.
00:23:31.587 --> 00:23:36.734
He told me what now we know is the truth.
00:23:36.734 --> 00:23:37.757
What we know now.
00:23:37.757 --> 00:23:42.005
Yeah, so I thank him for doctor, but definitely we saw a lot of doctors pushing the narrative.
00:23:42.210 --> 00:23:46.020
And it's good that you kind of recognize it and you admit it, because a lot of people won't do that Right.
00:23:46.872 --> 00:23:48.416
I mean I messed up, it's my fault.
00:23:48.416 --> 00:23:50.871
I mean I'm at fault and I admit my fault.
00:23:50.871 --> 00:23:52.913
That's one thing about me If I mess up, I admit it.
00:23:53.054 --> 00:23:56.097
Yeah, Like I mean I made it one the other day.
00:23:56.097 --> 00:24:01.265
I messed up on like I didn't mess up on it, but it was some controversial stuff that went out.
00:24:01.265 --> 00:24:08.962
A text message went out from my, from my campaign about um, drag shows, drag queens, yeah, drag queens.
00:24:08.962 --> 00:24:12.896
And um, I told my my uh texting firm.
00:24:12.896 --> 00:24:17.772
I said, man, I don't want to run a nasty campaign, so let's not send those text messages out.
00:24:17.772 --> 00:24:22.442
You know, like I don't want to send out mailers about that, I just I want.
00:24:22.442 --> 00:24:23.893
I won the first time being clean.
00:24:23.893 --> 00:24:25.416
I think I can win again being clean.
00:24:25.696 --> 00:24:43.935
That's admirable and I think everybody can appreciate that right and I think something to make clear is that I think a lot of people, when we mention this stuff, when we mention the drag shows and all that, I think people have the misconception that we are upset at the people who are doing the drag shows or whatever.
00:24:43.935 --> 00:24:46.818
No, no, no, we're upset at your setup.
00:24:46.818 --> 00:24:51.362
We're upset at how it's being promoted, how it's being done.
00:24:51.362 --> 00:24:53.873
We're not upset that you're having it If you want to have it.
00:24:53.873 --> 00:25:06.017
It's been happening, like Ricky says, it's been happening in the middle of Odessa forever, behind closed doors for the appropriate aged people, not that's what we're talking about exactly that's what we're talking about.
00:25:06.278 --> 00:25:08.412
So this isn't a smear, this isn't a hate campaign.
00:25:08.412 --> 00:25:09.375
This is none of that shit.
00:25:09.375 --> 00:25:10.901
People need to understand.
00:25:10.901 --> 00:25:13.509
This is just protecting our kids.
00:25:13.509 --> 00:25:15.314
Simple that line.
00:25:15.314 --> 00:25:16.195
Simple as it is.
00:25:16.517 --> 00:25:31.575
That's what it is and I think, and one thing I want to point out is that nobody's really speaking about this and it's Denise Norman and she's nobody says this, but she's a silent partner of the I Love my Selfie spot right, yeah, yeah, her and John James on that place, but I think it closed down now.
00:25:31.575 --> 00:25:33.691
I'm not even sure I think it closed down after that drag.
00:25:33.872 --> 00:25:34.833
thing went down.
00:25:34.833 --> 00:25:38.076
I believe it she's partners with John James in that.
00:25:38.355 --> 00:25:40.557
Yeah, and I think that's weird how that's not a big deal.
00:25:40.557 --> 00:25:49.247
I think everybody knows Courtney Ratliff is behind that and he pushes that and he's all for that, but nobody's bringing that up with her at all and I think that's pretty odd, you know what I mean.
00:25:49.950 --> 00:25:50.792
Yeah, and I didn't bring it up.
00:25:50.792 --> 00:25:53.320
Like I said, I didn't want to run a smearing campaign.
00:25:53.320 --> 00:25:55.261
I mean, everybody asked me to bring it up.
00:25:55.281 --> 00:26:05.587
I can do what y'all want, but I'm not going to bring it up, and I think it's important for us to bring it up and Ricky and I talked about it before and I agreed with him.
00:26:05.587 --> 00:26:13.736
It's important for us to bring it up on this show because I believe the listeners that we have won't know this information, Some of the people that are probably asking you to bring it up.
00:26:13.876 --> 00:26:15.540
They know the information and we're not smearing them.
00:26:15.540 --> 00:26:24.272
We're just stating facts 100%.
00:26:24.272 --> 00:26:24.535
These are facts.
00:26:24.535 --> 00:26:25.446
These aren't made up, thoughts made up words.
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:25.929
These are facts.
00:26:25.929 --> 00:26:27.260
So I mean, I'll, I'll agree to the facts, yeah, absolutely, yeah for sure, and that's how we look at it.
00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:27.876
And I think people need a uh.
00:26:27.876 --> 00:26:31.573
That's why I'm trying to push this out a little quicker, because I think people need to understand what they're voting for.
00:26:31.573 --> 00:26:39.058
Yeah, it all looks good and and all that stuff, I think, but when you get behind it, you need to know and that's one thing that should be said out there right, that's a big deal.
00:26:39.078 --> 00:26:43.238
I mean that went uh, national uh, you know, and it brought a lot of people's attention.
00:26:43.238 --> 00:26:49.751
I mean, I'm not saying, like, local news probably didn't pay, like news west nine never picks up stuff like that, but I think it's uh one thing that they should have looked at, you know.
00:26:49.751 --> 00:26:53.500
But I think uh and you were there right, I'm sure, I think I love selfie.
00:26:53.541 --> 00:26:54.191
Yeah, yeah, man.
00:26:54.191 --> 00:26:55.394
So me and my church went out.
00:26:55.394 --> 00:27:04.355
My church, my pastor, went out there and invited the congregation and I went and I stood in peaceful protest prayer, just prayed in front of the place.
00:27:04.355 --> 00:27:18.698
It was they shut it down, but we still went and prayed in front of the place and, um, actually, um, I was there in in attendance of a peaceful protest and it's all love and that's what it is when you pray it's all love.
00:27:19.058 --> 00:27:21.604
Nobody can get that misconstrued or anything.
00:27:21.604 --> 00:27:26.517
Prayer peaceful, it's all love, so people understand that it's a peaceful protest.
00:27:26.517 --> 00:27:26.778
Yeah.
00:27:26.858 --> 00:27:31.721
Yeah, and I mean I think I remember seeing you on Nino's live feed whenever he was putting it out there.
00:27:31.971 --> 00:27:34.940
I saw you in the crowd and he was talking to a pastor at the same time too.
00:27:35.671 --> 00:27:36.957
So you know I was really happy.
00:27:37.589 --> 00:27:38.250
Nino, you brought him up.
00:27:38.250 --> 00:27:39.330
So Nino, you brought him up.
00:27:39.330 --> 00:27:40.712
He's a good dude man.
00:27:40.712 --> 00:27:42.374
He means well, he means well.
00:27:42.374 --> 00:27:43.315
He comes off hard.
00:27:43.575 --> 00:27:44.355
Oh yeah.
00:27:44.395 --> 00:27:45.376
He comes off hard.
00:27:45.997 --> 00:27:46.958
But he means well man.
00:27:46.958 --> 00:27:49.160
So me and Nino, we got into it about the mask thing.
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:53.064
Like he called me, rhinos, all kind of names, man.
00:27:53.064 --> 00:27:57.027
I told him man, I can't let you call me those names because I'm not that.
00:27:58.730 --> 00:28:00.354
I messed up, bro I messed up, whatever.
00:28:00.413 --> 00:28:08.540
So he hated me for a long time and he got on Facebook, was telling I don't trust Michael Booker, blah, blah Rhino for a long time.
00:28:08.540 --> 00:28:10.074
Well, he came to that.
00:28:10.074 --> 00:28:12.059
I love selfie and I saw him there and I told my wife.
00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:16.642
I said tell, tell the crowd that I don't know what's going to happen.
00:28:16.642 --> 00:28:24.074
But I'm about to go talk to this man because I don't like, like fellow people that believe the way I believe to think bad about me.
00:28:24.074 --> 00:28:28.959
Yeah, even if you don't believe the way I believe, I don't think you should think bad about me because I'm actually a good guy.
00:28:28.959 --> 00:28:29.119
Yeah.
00:28:30.064 --> 00:28:35.826
So I walked up to him, man, and said man, nino, I just want to let you know that man, I apologize for what happened with the mass thing.
00:28:35.826 --> 00:28:38.695
I said it's Christian brother, you claim to be Christian.
00:28:38.695 --> 00:28:40.641
You are Christian because I see your stuff.
00:28:40.641 --> 00:28:41.482
I'm a Christian.
00:28:41.482 --> 00:28:45.232
Christian brothers don't fight or hold grudges.
00:28:45.232 --> 00:28:50.875
So I just want to apologize to you and tell you hey, no hard feelings, I just want this squash between me and you.
00:28:50.875 --> 00:28:52.000
And he shook my hand.
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.913
He's like man, michael Booger.
00:28:52.913 --> 00:28:53.776
I appreciate that.
00:28:53.776 --> 00:28:54.357
I respect you.
00:28:54.357 --> 00:28:55.240
I respect you for that.
00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:03.115
So ever since then he's actually been pretty cool man hasn't hadn't.
00:29:03.115 --> 00:29:04.561
We haven't had no more beef, so yeah I mean, that's that's christian.
00:29:04.582 --> 00:29:05.384
That's what christians do for sure.
00:29:05.384 --> 00:29:05.846
Yeah, for sure.
00:29:05.846 --> 00:29:06.167
Oh, that's good.
00:29:06.167 --> 00:29:06.911
We gotta always work it out.
00:29:06.931 --> 00:29:08.936
Yeah, it is man, I think that's good, I think that's uh cool.
00:29:08.936 --> 00:29:18.414
Y'all kind of worked it out, and I think that's because I do remember the, the mass thing going and, uh, you know, and I wasn't happy about it either, but it's cool that you acknowledge it, you know.
00:29:18.414 --> 00:29:21.200
Know what I mean, because all our kids are in public schools too, you know.
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:27.140
So that's why I think this is a big deal for us too, and we never really, you know, and honestly, this came up out of nowhere, bro.
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:27.721
For sure.
00:29:28.151 --> 00:29:29.256
For sure, especially for me.
00:29:29.490 --> 00:29:32.298

00:30:29.636 --> 00:30:32.478
But I also will say is that there are some new features coming up.
00:30:32.478 --> 00:30:34.938
They're going to have Power Hours and Collide.
00:30:34.938 --> 00:30:43.104
Be on the lookout for some live webinars.
00:30:43.104 --> 00:30:43.558
You can join and collide.
00:30:43.558 --> 00:30:45.999
Gp2 2.0 will be released soon with better data, which is crazy, because the first one is even good, man bro.
00:30:45.999 --> 00:30:46.991
But yeah, check these guys out at collageio.
00:30:46.991 --> 00:30:48.315
It's free to sign up now.
00:30:48.335 --> 00:31:22.718
So I kind of want to get into uh, I kind of want to let everybody know from our side because, like ricky said, you know this isn't normal stuff that we get into yeah, ricky, a little bit more on his side and he's starting to teach me some of the things that I need to know because my children are now in school my first child is now in school and this is important things to know, and people should know that we don't have a horse in the race when it comes to this conversation we're having because you are not in our district.
00:31:22.738 --> 00:31:24.382
We're not in your district, I'm sorry.
00:31:24.742 --> 00:31:36.564
So this is something that we felt was important for the entire community, so that people know it's not like Ricky and myself are going to somehow bring a bunch of voters over to the district.
00:31:36.564 --> 00:31:37.787
You're not even on my ballot, right.
00:31:38.174 --> 00:31:40.942
So I think it's important for people to know it's not a biased thing.
00:31:40.942 --> 00:31:44.259
We're biased in the way that we believe what you believe.
00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:49.023
We feel like we align, our values align, so we want to talk to you about it and get to know you.
00:31:49.023 --> 00:31:52.726
So, with that being said, we want to get to know you a little bit.
00:31:52.726 --> 00:31:55.663
So you work in the oil and gas business.
00:31:55.683 --> 00:31:58.821
Yes, sir, I'm a supply chain manager for Odessa Pump.
00:31:59.523 --> 00:32:01.480
Nice, nice, we work with Odessa Pump.
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:03.215
We worked with them for a long time.
00:32:03.215 --> 00:32:04.615
So I worked with SLB.
00:32:04.615 --> 00:32:06.997
We had Somber J yeah.
00:32:07.096 --> 00:32:08.958
I actually work for Flex Flow.
00:32:09.218 --> 00:32:12.440
Odessa Pump owns us, but we do horizontal pumps yeah.
00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:31.067
Horizontal pumps used to be my specialty, so I used to build those suckers from scratch, really, yeah, and what I'm saying about Odessa Pump is that when we started in Horizontal Pump and we were doing well, somebody came in hire a big wig, whatever, I don't know who.
00:32:31.067 --> 00:32:31.347
It was.
00:32:31.347 --> 00:32:37.191
Right, they decided you know what, we need to streamline the business through Odessa Pump.
00:32:37.191 --> 00:32:40.232
So I started seeing much less of these pumps.
00:32:40.232 --> 00:32:41.032
I started seeing much less.
00:32:41.032 --> 00:32:41.813
I was like man, what's going on?
00:32:41.813 --> 00:32:46.900
So it turned out, odessa Pump was the one churning out these pumps.
00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:49.851
So when we'd get something back, we were loading it up and sending it to you guys.
00:32:49.892 --> 00:32:56.961
Yeah, yeah, so we were kind of subletting, I guess a little bit, as you can see, as you can say, for the work.
00:32:56.961 --> 00:33:00.143
But yeah, man, I used to love building H-Pumps.
00:33:00.143 --> 00:33:21.191
Man, it was one of my favorites because and actually I have a souvenir from it, my favorites because and actually I have a souvenir from me so I got, I got a scar like this big because people, if people understand, like, uh, h pump is a horizontal pump on the surface that pumps tons of fluid and gas and they use these a ton in uh gas plants.
00:33:21.191 --> 00:33:25.601
This is where they're mainly used right, but they're used on big water wells and stuff like that.
00:33:25.621 --> 00:33:29.709
They're usually used on SWDs but yeah gas pumps as well, I mean gas plants, uh-huh.
00:33:30.556 --> 00:33:31.719
And where the people are going to see them.
00:33:31.719 --> 00:33:35.578
Like, if you drive by a gas plant, you're going to see them stacked up One right after another.
00:33:35.578 --> 00:33:37.945
You'll see them because they need a lot of pumping power there.
00:33:37.945 --> 00:33:53.022
But anyway, these impellers and diffusers, what they call, that's what makes it actually pump from the rotation.
00:33:53.022 --> 00:33:54.708
You see, these impellers and diffusers, when you put them together they clasp right.
00:33:54.708 --> 00:33:56.855
So when I'm putting a diffuser on a diffuser and they're clasping, obviously it's metal to metal sealed.
00:33:57.615 --> 00:34:10.985
So I have this bench where I have to run everything with my hands and I put these together and there's a gap about, I'd say, about a half a foot and I'm putting my arms over it and, man, it doesn't want to budge for whatever reason.
00:34:10.985 --> 00:34:11.706
It's super heavy.
00:34:11.706 --> 00:34:22.577
It's about a thousand series pump that I'm building and when I go to close it it actually clasps on my arm and I was like damn, I felt it, I didn't even.
00:34:22.577 --> 00:34:24.123
I didn't react to it at first.
00:34:24.123 --> 00:34:24.956
I felt it and I didn't even.
00:34:24.956 --> 00:34:25.619
I didn't react to it at first.
00:34:25.619 --> 00:34:25.820
I felt it.
00:34:25.820 --> 00:34:26.320
I was like shit.
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:37.282
And when I take a look, there's a chunk, I mean a chunk, a fat chunk, to where I still have the scar, and it was over a decade ago Over a decade ago when I was building that and I have a chunk missing from my arm, man.
00:34:37.282 --> 00:34:42.802
So, yeah, those H-pumps, they ring so true, Because even tearing them apart is such an undertaking.
00:34:42.802 --> 00:34:46.646
Dude, that's awesome, man, that's awesome to know about you.
00:34:46.666 --> 00:34:48.228
So how long have you been in the oil?
00:34:48.248 --> 00:34:49.989
field for Since 2012.
00:34:49.989 --> 00:34:55.978
Okay, when I got out of the Marines, I actually did some time in the reserve as well.
00:34:55.978 --> 00:35:04.630
So while I was in the reserves and I came back home, I was in the reserve while my medical discharge went through and I got into law enforcement.
00:35:04.630 --> 00:35:10.923
So I worked right here at the sheriff's office for four years, oh nice actually I started off at barbara.
00:35:10.923 --> 00:35:11.284
Covert.
00:35:11.284 --> 00:35:14.297
Uh youth center started off at covert.
00:35:14.297 --> 00:35:16.240
I forgot about covert man.
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.280
I was a juvenile detention officer started off with the kids man yeah start off with the kids.
00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:23.931
I'm telling you I love kids, and then especially troubled kids.
00:35:23.931 --> 00:35:30.320
Man, you go in there, you can talk to them and you get them and talk to them, man, and just see how they change.
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.041
Some of them change, some of them don't, but, man, it's amazing.
00:35:33.061 --> 00:35:33.844
The ones that do?
00:35:33.864 --> 00:35:35.047
Yep, that's amazing.
00:35:35.047 --> 00:35:36.922
I moved up to the jail, got over here.
00:35:36.922 --> 00:35:40.637
Some of those kids that were in COVID started coming to the jail.
00:35:40.637 --> 00:35:48.463
So I mean, that's where I started and got over here at the sheriff's office and after that I got out of that in 2012.
00:35:48.463 --> 00:35:51.166
And that's when I got an OFL and started driving a water truck.

That's how I am.
00:37:35.405 --> 00:37:41.447
I was raised here, so I mean, I was born in waco and my mom was like we gotta go back to midland to raise my son.
00:37:41.447 --> 00:37:45.164
I'm the only child, so my mom was like we gotta go back in there.
00:37:45.164 --> 00:37:47.115
Wow, so we came back to midland.
00:37:47.135 --> 00:37:48.498
That's where I was raised.
00:37:48.498 --> 00:37:49.862
Damn, which school did you go to?
00:37:49.862 --> 00:37:54.521
So I've been here since I was five years old, so, and I live on the south side.
00:37:54.521 --> 00:37:58.878
On the south side, I started off over there by, uh, travis elementary.
00:37:58.878 --> 00:38:00.621
Okay, okay, I went to travis.
00:38:00.621 --> 00:38:03.168
Actually, I went to santa rita for kindergarten.
00:38:03.168 --> 00:38:05.541
We lived in those some apartments over there across from Best Buy.
00:38:05.541 --> 00:38:06.826
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:06.826 --> 00:38:08.882
And then we moved to the south side.
00:38:08.882 --> 00:38:12.425
I went to Travis and then I went to Washington.
00:38:12.425 --> 00:38:21.356
I was part of the cluster system, so that's when they were bussing us, yeah yeah, yeah, so I had to get bussed to Rusk, bussed to Santa Rita, damn, across town.
00:38:21.396 --> 00:38:29.423
Huh, across town, yeah, and I ended up moving in 1999 to South Midland by Washington Swimming Pool.
00:38:29.983 --> 00:38:30.465
Oh okay.
00:38:30.485 --> 00:38:33.728
So I went to Washington there and then I went to Goddard and then graduated from Middle High.
00:38:34.007 --> 00:38:35.170
Okay, nice, all right.
00:38:35.170 --> 00:38:37.391
Yeah, we all went to Midland, we went to Lee, we went to Lee.
00:38:37.391 --> 00:38:40.382
Yeah, I guess you were there now and my son goes there now.
00:38:40.382 --> 00:38:41.757
He plays on the varsity football.
00:38:41.777 --> 00:38:42.518
He plays football right now.
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.461
Yeah, he'll be playing tomorrow night at the Permian game.
00:38:44.461 --> 00:38:45.623
Yeah, he got Permian tomorrow.
00:38:45.623 --> 00:38:49.818
Yeah, I'm on the board.
00:38:49.838 --> 00:38:51.182
So I support all the schools.
00:38:51.182 --> 00:38:52.177
I support all of them.
00:38:52.177 --> 00:38:58.463
So I'm always like if Legacy don't beat nobody, I want them to beat Permian Beat.
00:38:58.643 --> 00:38:59.025
Permian.
00:38:59.916 --> 00:39:01.001
Y'all don't beat nobody.
00:39:01.001 --> 00:39:02.079
Just beat Permian.
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:06.784
And then we were actually buying the O-line food next week.
00:39:06.784 --> 00:39:08.963
Really, yeah, it's close to our heart.
00:39:08.963 --> 00:39:12.795
I was an offensive line defensive line and Ricky was a defensive line.
00:39:12.795 --> 00:39:13.820
You may not believe it, but I was.
00:39:13.820 --> 00:39:18.280
Believe it or not, this little motherfucker can play man.
00:39:19.277 --> 00:39:23.820
It was funny because you get into school and you know how it works.
00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:29.760
It's body type and whatever and they start giving you positions and so you walk in.
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:30.923
You haven't had a tryout.
00:39:30.923 --> 00:39:36.583
I know some people that Ricky outplayed by miles, but they're playing on the line with me.
00:39:36.583 --> 00:39:37.840
They're starting on the line with me.
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.007
So, yeah, it's crazy how they do that, but he worked himself up.
00:39:43.007 --> 00:39:44.574
He's a really good defensive player.
00:39:44.574 --> 00:39:45.268
So y'all hosting him next Thursday.
00:39:45.268 --> 00:39:45.614
Yeah that, but he he worked himself up.
00:39:45.614 --> 00:39:47.418
He's a really good defense, so y'all hosting next thursday, yeah, oh yeah yeah, I did that.
00:39:47.418 --> 00:39:50.405
Uh, I host, I hosted um millen, high's old line.

Oh really, yeah, about a month ago oh nice man I made burgers and I didn't make enough burgers hey them boys, you gotta make them double bro, you gotta make them double.
00:39:59.561 --> 00:40:03.938

00:40:03.938 --> 00:40:06.869
Let's make 25 burgers, just in case somebody want extra.
00:40:06.869 --> 00:40:10.721
And the whole team wanted extra, the whole line wanted two burgers.
00:40:10.721 --> 00:40:13.960
Like they came and made two burgers, yeah them, boys can eat man.
00:40:14.617 --> 00:40:18.186
So when we take them out, I told my wife I'm going to talk to that waitress on my own.
00:40:18.186 --> 00:40:19.835
Like hey, these kids ain't getting everything.
00:40:20.094 --> 00:40:21.918

00:40:21.918 --> 00:40:25.646
You know we gotta take them to la mission buffet, just go crazy you know what I'm saying?
00:40:25.666 --> 00:40:26.829

00:40:26.829 --> 00:40:29.757
They're gonna lose money, not us, you know yeah definitely, definitely.
00:40:29.817 --> 00:40:32.202
I wanted to do legacy because I tried to do both schools.
00:40:32.202 --> 00:40:33.757
I tried to do middle high and legacy.
00:40:33.757 --> 00:40:37.954
I mean, I went to middle high but I'm on the board, so I try to represent everybody, yeah.
00:40:37.954 --> 00:40:51.244
And then I was gonna do legacy but then I decided to run for the school board again and I just, man, I've just been so busy, I feel bad because I haven't done legacy yet, but man, I'm so busy trying to run this campaign.
00:40:51.264 --> 00:40:53.619
So yeah, and this is reffing you're talking about right.
00:40:53.619 --> 00:40:54.344
What's that?
00:40:54.344 --> 00:40:55.670
What are you talking about, uh?
00:40:55.811 --> 00:41:00.389
he's talking about running for school board oh, okay okay but he does ref, you do.
00:41:00.389 --> 00:41:06.545
Yeah, I'm reffing, right now, yeah, yeah yeah, that's why I knew your schedule was busy, man, I'm glad you made it because I know you you ref during the week, right?
00:41:06.865 --> 00:41:12.699
in the week and friday night, saturday man is it just middling locally or you, you're traveling around?
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:12.981
too.
00:41:12.981 --> 00:41:14.806
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.
00:41:14.806 --> 00:41:22.199
Yeah, I do a lot of greenwood sub varsity because I'm on the board, yeah, and I can't receive a paycheck from misd, so I couldn't do any misd games.
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:30.840
So I do a lot of Greenwood Stanton stuff like that for sub-varsity and then for varsity we go all the way up, like I was in Pecos week two.
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:34.286
I go to Pecos Colorado City.
00:41:34.286 --> 00:41:35.275
Dang, you go farther than that.
00:41:35.375 --> 00:41:36.902
And it's all sports wide.
00:41:36.902 --> 00:41:38.867
I just do football.
00:41:38.989 --> 00:41:39.434
Just football.
00:41:39.434 --> 00:41:40.237
Yeah, I just do football.
00:41:40.237 --> 00:41:44.563
I used to do baseball man, but I got it just got too much.
00:41:44.563 --> 00:41:46.048
Yeah, parents are right there.
00:41:46.048 --> 00:41:47.373
Yeah, yeah, in football.
00:41:47.373 --> 00:41:55.753
In football, parents are a little further away from you, so it's not as bad, but in baseball man, they're right there, and that's why I don't do basketball either oh, I got a colleague who does basketball.
00:41:55.893 --> 00:42:07.956
So I got a colleague his name's chad raspberry yeah, tall white dude, um, he's, uh, he, he loves basketball man he tells me yeah, he always gives me his uh, he always gives me his a white chocolate spiel.
00:42:07.956 --> 00:42:08.697
You know what I'm saying?
00:42:08.697 --> 00:42:09.920
He was in he.
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:18.597
He grew up in houston, close to houston, like katie, I'm not, I don't remember exactly, but um, he said, yeah man, I was the only white guy out there, just getting him.
00:42:18.657 --> 00:42:26.324
He always tells me you know what I'm saying, and so now he's, he's, uh, doing basketball, that's what he's reffing, yeah, local, yeah, around, local, everywhere.
00:42:26.324 --> 00:42:30.485
And he'll always tell me hey man, I did legacy today or whatever.
00:42:30.485 --> 00:42:34.121
He'll always tell me when he's there and I was getting.
00:42:34.563 --> 00:42:36.920
I had to take him out, man More than one.
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:38.380
Y'all will see me next week.
00:42:38.380 --> 00:42:42.398
The school board is actually doing the coin toss for a Miller High Legacy game next week.
00:42:42.538 --> 00:42:45.221
Nice, nice, we should be at that game.
00:42:45.221 --> 00:42:46.682
Yeah, we'll see you there.
00:42:47.003 --> 00:42:49.885
I'll actually be on the field too, because we got my son.
00:42:49.885 --> 00:42:52.188
This is like his last game, or they do that thing.
00:42:52.188 --> 00:42:54.110
You know where the parents come out with the seniors.
00:42:54.170 --> 00:42:55.032
Oh yeah, yeah, senior night.
00:42:55.737 --> 00:42:57.463
Yeah, so we'll be there on the field with them.
00:42:57.594 --> 00:42:59.402
Are you doing senior night in the middle high legacy game?
00:42:59.523 --> 00:43:07.177
Yeah, yeah next, uh, on friday the first.
00:43:07.177 --> 00:43:07.771
Yeah, man, so I'll be there too.
00:43:07.771 --> 00:43:09.954
Yeah, but I mean you know, like that's so like when you're reffing on on the field for football, I mean it's got to be hard, man.
00:43:09.907 --> 00:43:16.721
I mean you got people yelling out there nah, you, because it's in the zone man, you watch your keys and, yeah, if your key do something bad, you throw the flag.
00:43:16.721 --> 00:43:19.757
If they don't keep the flag in your pocket, they're smart in football.
00:43:19.777 --> 00:43:23.764
They put them in the stands, yeah put the fans in the yeah, oh yeah.
00:43:23.824 --> 00:43:26.248
Football's the easiest sport to ref.
00:43:26.608 --> 00:43:28.458
Okay, I never even thought of it like that.
00:43:28.458 --> 00:43:30.224
Honestly, man, it's the easiest.
00:43:30.224 --> 00:43:30.806
That's crazy.
00:43:30.855 --> 00:43:32.001
I think my friend told me about volleyball.
00:43:32.001 --> 00:43:35.896
He said volleyball's pretty vicious too it is he said, because they're really close.
00:43:35.916 --> 00:43:41.021
They're close, he's really close, yeah they're right there, like my daughters, I Get your eyes checked, ref.
00:43:41.021 --> 00:43:45.605
Yeah, I'm like a little kid I'm like damn this little kid's talking crap.
00:43:45.625 --> 00:43:46.945
to me Easy access, bro.
00:43:46.945 --> 00:43:47.887
It's tough.
00:43:48.206 --> 00:43:48.907
That's crazy, man.
00:43:48.907 --> 00:43:53.931
So like whenever you're, when you're reffing and I saw you did you reff, like at an NFL game or something like that.
00:44:01.038 --> 00:44:06.663
So that game you saw was a, it was a semi-pro game that I got invited to to ref at the Cowboy Stadium, nice.
00:44:06.663 --> 00:44:08.264
Wow, man, that's awesome dude.
00:44:08.364 --> 00:44:11.088
Yes, sir, I mean that's pretty big.
00:44:11.088 --> 00:44:13.590
I mean I would think right going out there in a big old stadium like that looking around.
00:44:13.610 --> 00:44:14.210
Yeah, it was fun.
00:44:14.210 --> 00:44:14.771
It's all fun.
00:44:18.376 --> 00:44:19.916
What's it like running in that?
00:44:19.938 --> 00:44:20.297
crowd though.
00:44:20.297 --> 00:44:25.061
I mean you throw that flag you got In football in any officiating half.
00:44:25.061 --> 00:44:27.523
The people are going to be happy Half the people are going to be mad.
00:44:27.523 --> 00:44:28.684
You already know.
00:44:28.684 --> 00:44:29.545
You already know.
00:44:30.266 --> 00:44:33.668
Yeah, a lot of TVs around America have paid the price.
00:44:34.210 --> 00:44:35.311
I'll tell you that right now.
00:44:35.550 --> 00:44:37.192
I've been close a couple times.
00:44:37.192 --> 00:44:43.141
You know what I'm saying, especially when the Kansas City Chiefs are out man that shit really it kills me.
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:49.911
Like one minute, this side's happy, this side's mad, and 30 seconds later it's the opposite.
00:44:49.911 --> 00:44:51.653
Yeah, dude, that's crazy.
00:44:51.653 --> 00:44:52.534
Either way it's rigged.
00:44:52.534 --> 00:44:53.518
Either way it's rigged.
00:44:53.518 --> 00:44:54.543
You know what it is.
00:44:55.094 --> 00:44:56.320
Yeah, ever since you told me you're a ref.
00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:03.226
Every time now I look at the games and I didn't even think about you couldn't ref a MISD game, so I I wonder if he's reffing this one.
00:45:03.226 --> 00:45:05.268
It's kind of weird because I was thinking.
00:45:05.268 --> 00:45:06.289
I see a guy throw a flag.
00:45:06.289 --> 00:45:07.351
I think about this.
00:45:07.351 --> 00:45:09.878
Guy's probably got to deal with all that shit.
00:45:09.918 --> 00:45:10.601
It's crazy, man.
00:45:10.601 --> 00:45:18.715
Now, man, they got it where I can reff a million ISD games because they don't pay you through.
00:45:18.715 --> 00:45:20.922
They don't pay you direct anymore.
00:45:20.922 --> 00:45:22.561
You go through a third party.
00:45:22.561 --> 00:45:24.336
I don't receive a check from MISD.
00:45:24.336 --> 00:45:24.978
I receive a check from MISD.
00:45:24.978 --> 00:45:26.739
Nice I receive a check from a third party.
00:45:26.739 --> 00:45:30.726
I got you, so now I'm able to refer in my MISD games.
00:45:30.746 --> 00:45:32.568
Yeah, so you spend a lot of time with schools.
00:45:32.568 --> 00:45:34.351
I mean, you think about it, you're on the board, yeah.
00:45:41.083 --> 00:45:46.690
Everybody, like my opponent yesterday was talking time that, uh, he's been in the school is because it's campaign season.
00:45:46.690 --> 00:45:51.137
That's false too, because I do a lot of things in the school yeah I go to schools all the time.
00:45:51.257 --> 00:45:53.583
I I help kids in football.
00:45:53.583 --> 00:45:56.411
I I go to the schools, I'm in the schools.
00:45:56.411 --> 00:46:09.865
I don't go every time, every school, because if I, if you're a school board member, you show up to a campus, you're taking time away from that principal to doing our job because she's going to drop everything.
00:46:09.865 --> 00:46:10.427
You're her boss.
00:46:10.427 --> 00:46:13.143
Yeah, she's going to drop everything to cater to you.
00:46:13.143 --> 00:46:17.014
So we try not to show up to the schools too often.
00:46:17.014 --> 00:46:22.619
We'll show up once a semester at every school and let them know that we're here if they need anything.
00:46:22.619 --> 00:46:24.139
Let them know that we're here if they need anything.
00:46:24.139 --> 00:46:36.188
But you don't just pop up in the schools because if they know you're coming, they're going to do everything right and they're going to shut everything down to appease you and then that takes away from the kids.
00:46:36.188 --> 00:46:41.590
So she was saying that I'm never in the school, only doing campaign scenes.
00:46:41.590 --> 00:46:42.751
That's a false statement.
00:46:42.751 --> 00:46:45.896
I go to schools, I'm in the school, I do a lot with kids.
00:46:45.916 --> 00:46:47.079
Like I got four boys of my own.
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.246
I got two that rodeo, one in college rodeoing.
00:46:50.246 --> 00:46:52.217
The other one, my 15 year old.
00:46:52.217 --> 00:46:55.871
He's going, we're going to vegas for rodeo and he rodeos over there in vegas.
00:46:55.871 --> 00:46:57.117
Well, he made the nfr.
00:46:57.117 --> 00:46:58.159
It's called junior nfr.
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.184
He made junior nfr, that's amazing.
00:47:00.184 --> 00:47:01.514
Then I got a 15 year old.
00:47:01.514 --> 00:47:03.338
That's super smart, goes to middle freshman.
00:47:03.338 --> 00:47:05.802
Then I got a nine year old, or he's 10.
00:47:05.802 --> 00:47:09.188
He just turned 10 last week so you're on level you're on levels of this.
00:47:09.208 --> 00:47:11.619
I'm on levels of this that's what I'm talking about, man.
00:47:11.639 --> 00:47:18.224
I just let it be known and you're you're a father man, you got you got kids that are in the school district that are going through it, so that's awesome too.
00:47:18.264 --> 00:47:28.547
You know what I mean actually, and I'll be honest, I have one at home schools my 15 year old homechools because he's rodeo and when he was in school like he'll probably be a professional when he turns 18.
00:47:28.547 --> 00:47:29.748
Wow, he's that good.
00:47:30.068 --> 00:47:30.909
Damn that's awesome.
00:47:31.110 --> 00:47:31.911
Yeah, that's cool.
00:47:32.815 --> 00:47:36.117
So to be a professional, you have to be ranked a number Like your number.
00:47:36.117 --> 00:47:42.407
They go by numbers, so like you'll be a number eight, healer, or number six, header or whatever.
00:47:42.407 --> 00:47:47.519
So to be a professional you have to be a number eight.
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:50.552
He's 15 years old, he's seven and a half Oof, it's right there, wow.
00:47:50.552 --> 00:47:51.295
He's on the cusp.
00:47:51.295 --> 00:48:00.097
So by the time he's turned 18, I'm sure he'll be like a number nine somewhere around there, nine, and then he can buy his pro card and go pro.
00:48:00.097 --> 00:48:00.838
I got you.
00:48:01.057 --> 00:48:02.259
That's amazing.
00:48:02.259 --> 00:48:03.440
Are you fearful of that?
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:05.862
I mean, I can imagine it's dangerous to a certain extent.
00:48:05.882 --> 00:48:10.025
If it was like football or something, then I'd be like fearing it, but it's not as bad as you.
00:48:10.025 --> 00:48:11.847
It's not bad on his body, he's not hurting himself.
00:48:12.349 --> 00:48:15.231
He's riding bulls, all right, no no, he's team roping.
00:48:15.231 --> 00:48:23.385
Oh, okay, I was like bull riding, like damn that sounds kind of dangerous Because you're on a moving animal.
00:48:23.445 --> 00:48:30.344
but you get it's like anything else right, you get, so good at it you get so good at it that you can jump and land on your feet and stuff of that nature, right?
00:48:30.896 --> 00:48:31.739
So I know it's amazing.
00:48:31.739 --> 00:48:32.661
Yeah, he's a healer.
00:48:32.661 --> 00:48:35.501
Wow, and that's, you got four boys right?
00:48:35.501 --> 00:48:36.195
Four boys, man.
00:48:36.195 --> 00:48:37.541
That's awesome, dude, right yeah?
00:48:44.005 --> 00:48:46.449
That's a cool boy, but, man, I got two girls.
00:48:46.449 --> 00:48:53.001
We'll probably see if we go for the boy, but more than likely I'm going to end up with three girls I tried to go for a girl three times Really.
00:48:53.143 --> 00:48:53.744
I wanted my boy.
00:48:53.855 --> 00:48:55.422
The first one, I wanted a boy, yeah, yeah.
00:48:55.422 --> 00:49:00.206
And then I tried three more times for a girl and it was boys.
00:49:07.135 --> 00:49:07.880
My wife was like, let's try for a girl.
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:08.585
Nah, we're going to have five boys?
00:49:08.585 --> 00:49:09.735
Definitely we had a friend who did the same thing right.
00:49:10.094 --> 00:49:11.139
Started off with three girls.
00:49:11.139 --> 00:49:13.001
After that rang off three boys.
00:49:13.463 --> 00:49:15.682
Really yeah he evened it out like that man.
00:49:15.682 --> 00:49:16.980
It was crazy.
00:49:16.980 --> 00:49:19.083
Yeah, I don't think that would have been my luck.
00:49:19.083 --> 00:49:20.641
I would have killed having boys.
00:49:21.534 --> 00:49:25.378
But I remember it was funny because he went through it after the three girls.
00:49:25.378 --> 00:49:28.463
He was like this time you know every trick of the trade.
00:49:28.463 --> 00:49:32.246
You know old wives tells this and the other Eat lemons and fucking.
00:49:32.246 --> 00:49:33.228
You know all this shit.
00:49:33.228 --> 00:49:35.329
Right, and he got a boy.
00:49:35.329 --> 00:49:35.851
He was like man.
00:49:35.851 --> 00:49:36.731
I'm telling you it works.
00:49:38.114 --> 00:49:40.061
I'm like man, come on, motherfucker.
00:49:40.061 --> 00:49:41.085
Yeah, that's crazy though, man.
00:49:41.085 --> 00:49:43.677
So last night you're on the debate.
00:49:43.677 --> 00:49:44.077
What's that like?
00:49:44.077 --> 00:49:45.081
How do they get you on there?
00:49:45.081 --> 00:49:49.440
I'm sorry to change the subject, but I kind of wanted to ask you this yeah, of course we need to get back to that.
00:49:49.675 --> 00:49:52.824
But yeah, they called, they emailed me.
00:49:52.824 --> 00:49:59.398
Actually, they emailed me and said, hey, we're doing a forum PBS forum On this day.
00:49:59.398 --> 00:50:00.402
Would you be in attendance?
00:50:00.402 --> 00:50:08.661
Me personally at first I wasn't going to go to it.
00:50:08.661 --> 00:50:11.054
I mean, you don't have to go to them, but it's good to go so the community can see that you're there.
00:50:11.054 --> 00:50:19.050
And so my opponent she's been her campaign manager used to be on the board for PBS and I was like it's going to be rigged.
00:50:19.050 --> 00:50:22.902
They're going to try to tear me down and lift her up the whole time.
00:50:22.943 --> 00:50:23.865
Wow, I did not know that.
00:50:24.585 --> 00:50:31.371
Yeah, that's how I thought it was gonna be but it actually turned out to be actually pretty good little debate, um so I saw little clips of it.
00:50:31.391 --> 00:50:32.130
Man, that's pretty good.
00:50:32.291 --> 00:50:34.413
Yeah, yeah, I was I was watching and I hate those things.
00:50:34.693 --> 00:50:44.864
I get so nervous because I don't like to talk, man I'm not a talker I'm your doer yeah, I'm quiet and I don't get on stage and try to make him isd look bad, because that's not what I'm there for.
00:50:45.103 --> 00:50:45.726

00:50:45.746 --> 00:50:46.027
MISD.
00:50:46.027 --> 00:50:51.768
I mean, if we do something bad, let's be transparent and put it out there and say, hey, this is bad, we need to fix it.
00:50:51.768 --> 00:50:56.106
But I'm not going to get on stage and just try to make MISD look bad, because that's not what I'm there for.
00:50:56.175 --> 00:51:06.876
I'm on the board of MISD, I'm representing MISD need to.
00:51:06.876 --> 00:51:07.458
We need to make them do good.

Yeah, so, and they brought up discipline a lot, you know, and, um, I think that's pretty neat how you went.
00:51:09.606 --> 00:51:13.222
You, you worked at cover, so you know what it's like when these kids go down the wrong path, right?
00:51:13.483 --> 00:51:21.713

We haven't spoken before we have no idea about each other, but just from this conversation I want to surmise Marines Reserve Deputy.
00:51:39.432 --> 00:51:46.646
And now on the school board, if that does not ring public servant, I don't know what does.
00:51:46.646 --> 00:51:49.063
I want people to understand that.
00:51:49.295 --> 00:51:50.300

That comes out 100%, and everything that you say and everything you say and that's why we wanted to break off a little bit and talk about you, just to see what comes out.
00:52:04.244 --> 00:52:13.775
And that's what comes out love for the community, for your kids, for your family, and that's something that I could get behind and like I said I'm not a voter, yeah, but it's something that I can get behind as a person.
00:52:13.976 --> 00:52:14.759
You know what I mean.
00:52:14.759 --> 00:52:15.201

You know not too many people say that yeah.
00:52:33.554 --> 00:52:36.525
Not too many people will say that, especially nowadays.
00:52:36.525 --> 00:52:39.117
Yeah, people aren't running to.
00:52:39.117 --> 00:52:44.340
People, aren't, you know, gunning for those jobs because of what comes with them?
00:52:44.340 --> 00:52:49.025
Yeah, and the scrutiny and everything that's going on in social media and everything.
00:52:49.025 --> 00:53:05.880
So I'm very surprised to hear you say that, especially after your track record right, a lot of people may say, you know it's time to take a break and this and the other, but just to jump from public servant to public servant to public servant, yeah, hey, thank you for your service.
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:07.722
I appreciate it, man, yeah, man.
