Speaker 1 (00:00):
Who go and those who come home to honor them back.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I've noticed a lot of people that don't have a
veteran on the flight come to the events. Before it
was all the family and friends. Now it's a little
bit of everybody because Beth Johnson has done such a
great job spreading love and telling people about it and
all the stuff that you and I do and other
people that support Honor Flight. And my goal is, whoever
does my eulogy someday is say Boots cared about our
(00:26):
veterans and that was an honor for him to shake
every Vietnam veteran's hand and tell them we're sorry that
our country rassholes towards him.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So next week on Raw, we are going to be
celebrating Boots his birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh boy, Dave, before you are.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Turning fifty seven, which you have different reasons why this
birthday is significant to you. First of all, you love
the number fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yes, my favorite car ever maid. But my dad died
at fifty seven. He was fifty seven years old and
thirty one days, and I got to beat him because
I thought he was ancient in fifty seven. But I
don't feel ancient. I act like a twelve year old.
Don't You can jump on that one if you want.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm not going to disagree with you. Yeah, I know
you're going to say that, But does that a little
bit were you? I mean, we look at fifty seven.
I mean it's just a number. It's you're young still,
but you have the back in your mind that your
dad didn't live long after.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, well, I was thinking about him this morning, and
you've dealt with that's so young. Yeah, you've dealt with
suffering and family. You know, you watched us someone you
love this turning and to this hospice.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No, I can never really say that because Mama was
strong pretty much.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well see, mine was horrible, but they diagnosed. The best
thing ever happened to me. My uncle flew in from
He was a big wig of Park David Drug Corporation,
and he took my first wife and I had a
lunch over Bob Evans and Georgia Road and he said this,
your dad's going to die. Don't listen to him. I
looked at him, like, what in the world, Why are
you telling me? He said, because he has the worst
cancer in the world. If he lives six months or more,
(01:50):
it's a bonus, and he did do two years with it,
two years.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Two years when he was told six months.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Six months he had the one of the worst brain
cancer as a person could have. And we fought and
we fought and we fought. The last six months were horrible,
but the first year and a half wasn't that bad.
It was bad on him getting a skull removed and
cut the tomb around and then Staple's skull back together
was it was unbelievable how great the doctors were thirty
some years.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I was just going to say, in what year was
that nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
One, thirty four years ago. Yeah, but my dad was
a fighter. He didn't want he did not want to die.
He didn't want to and my mother drove him nuts.
But I think down DP loved her.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But I don't know. There's days on were White didn't
kill her.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
But you know what, Boots, there was something with that
generation we're dealing with right now with Randy's father, and
he in August will be ninety two years old, and
he's got that fight, he's got that will to live. Yeah,
and it's just boy, you never know from one day
than the next what happens, especially when you're dealing with
people in their eighties and nineties. And here we all
(02:50):
were down in Knoxville, Tennessee for the regionals last week,
and Randy's brother was there, Randy's sister was there along
with his brother and law. They all were there to
watch Cammy all right, and then all of a sudden
they couldn't watch the last game because they got a
call back at home saying Dad's not doing real well.
So they drove through the night. It was more important
(03:11):
for them to be with mister Quortacras. So as bad
as you feel knowing that Cammy was going to play
in her last softball game, ever, in the big picture,
you're also dealing with Wow, mister Ka at almost ninety
two is going through a very bad situation. It could
go one way or the other. It's funny how life
puts things in perspective. When you think something's really sad
(03:32):
and horrible, something else wakes you up to think, you
know what, it's not so bad after all.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Life's funny.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You know, intersections in life I call it you run
into people that you become. Gillick Andrew, I didn't know
him five years ago. I didn't know I knew of
you ten years ago, but we weren't friends.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I passed you.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
He used to stalk me all the time. Yeah, who
was that strange looking ball guy with that white beard?
And get away from me, police.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But no, I you wonder how you're friends. I always
told my daughter when she was in junior high, your
best friends won't be your best friends when you're my age.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's sad.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You're still acquaintance and they're still your friends, but they're
not your bestie best No.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
See, I'm a little yeah, because our friends that I
consider my best friends now, the majority of them I
have grown up.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You're still live in your hometown.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That is That's a big thing. If that is mine, isn't?
They're not my best friends? Or just like Joe Hicks
lov him like a brother, but I don't see him
because he's got three kids, he's busy, he's a professionals guy.
And my other best friend was Brady and he lives
back home and.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He's going to stay living back home.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I'd have been right alongside of him.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
What would you be doing with your life? Do you
ever think about that?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I would probably be a Democrat and I'd probably be
working at a steel miller or Matt at the world
because the EPA shut steal.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Do you really think you'd be a Democrat?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I probably would have if I would have cut into
a union and in a steel mill industry. They're all Democrats,
the old blue dog Dems. Not like I wouldn't be
boys and girls, sports and all that garbage. But but
I would have been probably a working man. And I'm
very fortunate. I've had mentors that I love the death
and I would do any.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
World for them.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've had all kind of guys that took me under
their wing because they knew I was, you know, full
of it and make friends easy.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So what are you gonna do for your birthday to
celebrate mister fifty seven?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Nothing really out You know. My heaven is uh will
be at the shop building a car.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, we're going to celebrate next week because he will
be fifty seven in a day next week on raw.
So we want everybody to call in and give this
a bunch of crap or give him love, whatever you
want to do. He's kind of a mixture of both
crap and love.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's my miracle day. I always wanted to be fifty seven. Heck,
I even go min.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I know you did. I know this is a big
day for you know. He's got this chain of these
showing me it says fifty seven. People think, oh you
in the NFL. Was that your number?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
My car? No, it's okay, some chevyes man.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You ask my brother. I wish he'd come on eyb
a treat. He'd be like, oh god, he's try to
beat it at him.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
He didn't work.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
One other question I have for you, how are the
lizards or the get goes?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Very good?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Save they are like it's like a porn movie. Every
time I walk in there. Oh my, I'm waiting to
see a little waggs here soon because he does not
let up on her.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's cut and lists.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We called him because I found that it's not really
the answer. I was there and they're having fun, okay,
I mean they're healthy and.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Loving and I feed them roaches. These roaches, like bats
are something I've evolved. I got friends at the pet
store that look like Karen's with purple hair and stuff.
I got piercings and stuff hanging out of their face
and big gauges. I walk in there, my buddies, Hey,
there's a lizard guy I walk in there and buy
crickets and roaches and worms, and I feed a little
guy and girl and I love them guys, and I
(06:33):
got too.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I got them two cars. I got them in. That's
so on a fifty seven Chevy. They run around on them.
They're pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I gotta take care of my Manles.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So next week we're going to celebrate Boots his fifty
seventh birthday. That will be fun. And no matter what
you guys do today and the rest of the weekend,
make sure you spend some time. And that's the other show.
What did we say, friends.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Their friend like family, And make sure you hug a
veteran and make sure you respect our men and women
in blue because it's memoral and that anybody that's lost
veteran wise in the line of duty or army amy,
all all the armed forces, I should say so.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, And if you have time, go to Westerville and
go look at their field of heroes. It is such
a cool sign.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
All right, we'll see what's that show next?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
What matters? It's coming up next, MICHAELA Hunt is coming
in studio. We're gonna have a blast. Got lots of
things to talk about, including questions that these young men
ask themselves when they were sixth grade and now graduating
high school.
