Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome back to oh, that's Fucking Adorable the
series where I talk about thingsthat don't go so well.
They give me that reaction soyou guys can learn and hopefully
not repeat the exact samethings that go poorly in my life
.
Today we're going to be talkingabout what just happened to me

(00:27):
last Friday when I left officeand, as you guys can probably
tell by the title, I hit a deer.
Now let's break this down.
So is it just one of thosescenarios where I hit a deer and
there was nothing to learn fromit other than the fact that I
hit a wild animal?
It's about what actually tookplace prior to me even leaving

(00:49):
the office.
So it was Friday afternoon, meand the boys we were working on
the comp reviews for all the TUmembers, just kind of shooting
the shit too, talking about theweek, what we had coming up this
weekend, some of the golfrounds that we had played
earlier in the week.
We love playing golf here atTitanium.

(01:10):
I've talked about thatregularly on this channel.
We go a lot as a team.
We had gone the previous Sundayand we were kind of laughing,
joking about that, the game thattook place, and we were like
man, we got to go play at theTribute out in the Colony.
You know it has a Lynx courseand it's just so wide open it

(01:30):
feels like you're playing at StAndrews and all these famous
courses across the world.
Man, that would be so much funfor us to go play out there.
Well, back in the day when Iquit Pizza Hut, I actually was a
cart boy at Tour 18 in FlowerMound and I asked Justin and
Gary.
I was like hey, have you guysever played Tour 18?
And they're like no.

(01:51):
And I was like, oh man, we gotto go out there someday.
Like man, they got to show you.
It's like the whole course isbuilt around mirroring and
mimicking and recreating thesefamous golf holes around the
country, including, you know,the famous holes like the par

(02:12):
313 at Augusta and some of theSt Andrews holes and you know
just these famous, the world'smost famous golf holes.
And I'm like we got to go outthere and we got to play two or
18.
So I can show you what I usedto, where I used to work and all
this.
And we're just going through it.
And then Garrett comes, he sitsdown at my desk and he takes

(02:34):
over.
He's like, oh man, we got to goplay this course.
Oh, we got to go play thiscourse and you know it was a lot
of that language.
We have to go do this.
Why haven't we done thisalready?
We got it, we got it, we got it.
And then I get in my car andliterally a quarter mile down
the road here on boat club roadin Fort Worth, texas, a deer

(02:55):
comes out of the woods and itsees my car and it jumps and as
it jumps, mind you have a brandnew car.
Okay, I just got a brand newMercedes EQS 450.
Yeah, it's an EV, love it.
Super fast, no gas, justinstantaneous.

(03:18):
I'm flying around.
Right, the deer sees it jumps.
Right, the deer sees it jumps,it comes down and I clip the
back like left hip of the deeron my left front quarter panel
headlight.
You know the the front little.
I don't even want to.
I don't even know what you callit.
It's not the grill, becausethere's no grill, because it's

(03:41):
an electric vehicle, but thefancy little logo, all of it.
Just the hood dented, torn topieces.
I look in the rearview mirror.
I don't see the deer.
I guess I didn't kill it.
It ran off back in the woods,cassie's like a quarter mile
behind me.
I pull over.

(04:01):
I'm upset.
I get out of the car.
She pulls over.
She's like what happened?
What's of the car?
She pulls over.
She's like what happened?
What's wrong?
I'm like I hit the deer.
She's like what deer?
She didn't even see it.
I'm like no, there was a deerand it ran off, tore the car up,
messed up the headlight, messedup the whole front part of the
car.
I'm going to have to put it inthe shop file, the insurance.

(04:24):
But as I got back in the car Iwas thankful.
Could have been a lot worse, asthe deer was jumping.
I mean it could have landed onthe windshield.
I know people that have gottenhurt.
I know people that have diedfrom hitting deers.
It's just part of living inTexas.
You know we're really not thatcountry.

(04:45):
Where we're at, we're just by alake and yeah, there are some
woods, but I mean we are smackdab.
I mean we're in Fort Worth,texas, the 12th largest, most
populated city in the UnitedStates, but we still have deer
here in this part of Texas and Iwas thankful.
I was grateful that obviously Ididn't get hurt.

(05:05):
It could have been a lot worse,that obviously I didn't get
hurt.
It could have been a lot worse.
But I started thinking about theconversation that I had prior
to leaving the office, thatconversation about all these
things that we should do.
We got to do this at some pointin time when we have time Now.
See, we did a great job of lastyear enjoying ourselves, taking
time, carving out and creatingthat reality where we ended up

(05:26):
playing like 32 rounds of golflast year enjoying ourselves,
taking time, carving out andcreating that reality where we
ended up playing like 32 roundsof golf last year, and I'm proud
of that.
But see, things change.
We had time change and becauseof that it started getting dark
at like 5 o'clock.

(05:47):
It was a lot harder for us tocarve out that time during the
work day.
Season changing, it got supercold, windy, that horrible
winter weather.
You can't really golf on somedays.
The course was closed a lot.
In fact, one of the days thatwe'd go golfing a lot was
Mondays.
They actually closed the courseand said, even for members,

(06:08):
we're not going to be open onMondays, we're going to let that
be more of like a day for thewell one, for the staff to be
off and for the course to kindof regrow and prepare for the
next season.
So we fell out of the habit ofplaying golf and now that it's
spring season and it's like timeto get back into that routine

(06:31):
and we're all itching to get itback out on the course, we start
saying things like we got to godo this.
Man, I really want to play thatcourse.
My question is why were we notmaking plans to go do that?
How many different things inour lives do we do that with?
Do we sit there and we say oneday I have to go do that.

(06:53):
One day I have to go play thatround at the Tribute.
Or one day I'm going to learnhow to wholesale real estate, or
I'm going to join TitaniumUniversity.
When the time's right.
When is the time right?
To be honest with you, thetime's never going to be right
for us to take time away fromthe office to go to the tribute
and play a round of golf.

(07:14):
There will always be a reasonas to why we shouldn't do that.
But that's the wrong way oflooking at it.
We should look at it and saytoday is absolutely the day we
should go do that.
Today is absolutely the day weshould go do that.
Several months ago, I recorded ashort three-minute video called
you Will Win Today, and in thatvideo I talked about you will

(07:37):
win today, because today is allthere is, and what I mean by
that is there is no tomorrow.
It's not guaranteed.
You're only guaranteed rightnow, today, as a quick reminder.
So I'm thankful that the deerdidn't hurt me or tear up my car
anymore.
Yeah, I wish it would havehappened, but things that we

(08:00):
wish wouldn't happen are goingto happen in our lives At the
end of the day.
I'm grateful also for thereminder, even though I talk
about it all the time createyour own reality, go out and do
the things that you really wantto do, and I feel like we do a
pretty decent job of doing that.
I still need that friendly nudgeand that reminder to say

(08:24):
there's never a perfect time.
It's just time that you chooseto make that your reality.
So I'm going to go schedulethose rounds of golf.
I'm going to make sure weactually do it and not say we
should go do it.
We're actually just going to doit.
What about you?
Do you have something thatyou've been saying you should do

(08:45):
, or something that you want todo or something that you're
going to do in the future whenthe time's right.
Just make it now, before yourealize there is no more time
for the future.
There is no more time oropportunity for that thing, that
desire that you have to be areality.

(09:06):
Let me know what you guys thinkin the comments.
Yes, I am okay.
Thank you for asking.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
