Speaker 3 (00:56):
Started to put that in context. My niece is sixteen
and she's racing go karts and she has been told
by other like parents, I guess that, oh, wow, you're
starting so late because there's other kids getting out at
seven eight years old, and so she's like ten years behind.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, if you do watch Driver Survive the F one,

he was never like a I don't believe he was
like this teenage person. Everyone was chatting about good player
but I think he was twenty or twenty like as
in just yeah, he wasn't like the teenage you know,
sensation and to be honest, their career he had in
a short space, you'd think that he was at that
(01:45):
gun like that whole life, his whole life coming up,
like this guy is going to be, you know, a
multiple World Cup winner twenty origins. Yeah, no, those stats

Speaker 3 (02:05):
He's thirty one, isn't he.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
He debuted in sixteen, It didn't get a good run, right,
and probably had forty games in five six years. It
was like in out and out, probably not going to
do any good. Now he's one of the best halves
in the game.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
He's on fire.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
When did he come back in like twenty four twenty four?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Like, so in twenty one, I believe or twenty his
career just went bangs. That's six twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, he's nearly thirty before he really like all of
a sudden he's on everyone's radar.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, I think a three year deal at thirty one
D two Wow, what do you got about the colonel?

became world famous at the age of forty six when
he got Past in pulp fiction.

You're right, I can't remember anything before that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Morgan Freeman was a fighter pilot for the Air Force,
Morgan Freeman, Moullian Freeman, and he landed his first acting
gig and big movie role at the age of fifty.
Was that sure? Shame? It was street smart? Okay cool?
Harrison Ford not as old but really interesting, did a
little bit of acting. Nothing really stuck. He became a
(03:15):
carpenter and was actually working at George Lucas's house when
George Lucas was developing Star Wars, and George Lucas decided
that he would make a great hand solo at the
age of thirty five, just.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Getting around, just a handsome carpentry. Probably had the tool
beltab gum belt that he wears.

with a Wookie.

and you are too old and you could never start
something new. Let us all think of Colonel Sanders. This
guy did everything. He was a fireman, he was a
steam engine stoker, he was an insurance salesman. He got
kicked out of the military. He practiced law and got
five almost every time. But he had a belief in
(04:13):
a secret chicken recipe. He literally spent He went to
a thousand restaurants and knocked on their door, slept in
his car, wanting someone to adapt his chicken recipe. It
finally happened in nineteen fifty two when the first KFC
franchised opens its doors. How old was Colonel Sanders? Sixty two? Yeah,
(04:37):
