Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rex in the morning. I remember being twelve thirteen years
old and pushing around our family's lawnmower with my hedge
clippers and weed whacker and going door to door looking
for people who would pay me a couple of bucks
to mow their yard eggs or grass and clip their hedges.
By far, my favorite neighbor lived a street over, mister Williams.

(00:20):
He was absolutely the coolest guy ever, and he and
his wife lived in a small home near my parents' house.
They had matching cars. They had, like matching Lincoln Town cars.
It was awesome. And he'd call me up. He'd a
summer and be like, hey, I want to put ceiling
fans in all the rooms. And I would be the
guy in the attic, you know, like helping him install
the brain He'd stay down below and you know, basically

(00:42):
catch the wires and whatnot. I remember one particular Saturday
while I was up in his attic. Man I was
just sweating bullets like crazy, and I had been up
there for a long time, probably longer than a thirteen
year old should ever be up in an attic. I
mean I was outright dizzy, and he hollers up through
the little hole in the ceiling.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Rex you all right?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
And I was like, oh fine, and he goes, all right,
don't I don't want your parents calling me. He goes,
they're gonna be looking for you. Don't die in my attic.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
If you die up there, I'm gonna tell your parents
I hadn't seen you. He was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh man, mister Williams, I haven't thought about him in
uh oh, I don't know, like a hundred years or so.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
There's gonna be some smells. I'm gonna cramp some air
freshen hers or spray some stuff up through the hole.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Oh man, it was great. I'm sure we broke a
lot of child labor laws on those days.
