Ask me for a lunch today, bitch.
I'll go through by through thedrive through and get you some
lunch.
Yeah.
I ain't making that trip nomore.
So that's when we first met andthen.
Uh, you, you knew Mark andScott.

(06:42):
I knew Scott since he, I was inmiddle school.
Yeah.
Scott was in high school.
I know.
And when I first saw him, ohGod, you want me to be honest.
You gonna get stuck on this oneagain?
Well, ain't no prize now, so goahead and speak it.
Speak the truth.
Well, I was on my school bus.
Mm.
With some friends.
I'm gonna go ahead and take asip.

(07:03):
Is that alcohol?
Mm.
So we pulled up at the highschool to pick up the high
school kids and here comes acouple of my friends walking out
of the school with Scott.
And I was like, who's he?
Cute.
Um, and it was back in the daywhen all the guys that had long

(07:23):
hair, you know, guns and roses,Metallica thing, and I was like.
Who's that?
I think I asked his sister.
Oh, okay.
And she's like, that's mybrother.
I'm like, oh, sh.
And then a couple days later, Iseen him with some hoe Wasn't
me.
I was a hoe.
But it wasn't me.

(07:44):
Yeah.
I wasn't that hoe.
So that was end of that story.
Yeah.
And then, anyway, so that's whenI first saw Scott and then,
yeah.
But then you ended up hangingout with him and partying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then we all hung out and partiedand.
Yeah, did what We did beachfleas pretty much hung out at
Beachside.
Mm-hmm.
Drinking, drinking, partying,partying, having fun.

(08:04):
Not me.
I was sweet and innocent.
Maryland, are you being honestright now?
Not really.
I mean, and then you moved here.
Ruined everything.
No, you didn't ruin nothing.
I know.
'cause you found your soulmatebitch.
You're right.
You're right.
And so did Mark and Scott.

(08:25):
Yeah.
They're lucky.
I mean, thank you's.
That's how I see it.
I don't know how they ever livedwithout us.
Exactly.
Exactly.
If you want me to be honest.
Mm-hmm.
That's the truth.
So they were pretty wild, Scottand Mark.
Um, so that went on.
Anyway, so then we get married.
She got married the day after Igot married.

(08:46):
Mm-hmm.
Scott was in my wedding.
He walked.

Right?
The vest.
Okay.
A different color vest.
He wore the vest, the match, mywedding.
Right.
And then for his wedding, heused the same and he just
changed the, that would be mywedding.
Yeah.
Your wedding.
He just changed the vest.
Correct.
And the reason why we weren't ineach other's weddings.
That's right.
That's right.
Is because we were planning itwas just too much for us to do
that.
Of course.
Yeah.

(09:27):

So then we difference, so wegot, and now it's almost 31
years later, we have someregrets.

Okay.
When it comes to certain things.
Okay, so Scott decided to tellyou and trick you.

(10:54):
He did trick me on a 24 hourrace, dude, I think it was the
Rolex 24.
It was something.
It was a long time.
Well, I mean, you should haveknown something was up when we
were spending the night at thehad I thought y'all were staying
the night.
'cause we were friends.
We weren't friends.
No, no.
It wasn't about friendship andScott was trying to figure out
mm-hmm.
What?

(11:14):
Why didn't you watch it on yourown damn TVs?
Because Mark wouldn't shut upabout us coming over to play
cards that night.
Oh remember that's when we usedto play cards all the time.
Okay.
So anyway.
Scott got said, let's, you said,all right, buddy, let's watch
the race together.
Who am I root for and root?
That was just a joke.
I know.
I didn't really wanna watch it.
Well, but it got, it made himfeel good.

(11:35):
Okay.
Okay.
And so you, he said, all right,who's your driver and what did
you say?
You were rooting for.
You don't want to tell.
All of a sudden, Tom Petty.
That's who I knew.
I thought I knew it.
Oh, you knew his ass.

(11:56):
He just wasn't driving.
Scott said, who Richard Petty iswho you met?
Same thing.
Okay, so that was, those weregood times.
That times the first.
Trick of the day, and then Yeah.
He said It's almost over.
It's almost over.

From hotels to a doctor's officethat I, that was a hard learning
lesson, and I'm sure, rememberwhen I took that text to go
card?

Even though I didn't want morekids.
I didn't think I wanted, andthen you got the angel sent from
heaven.

(16:29):
I didn't think I wanted morekids, but So it was, it was Well

You're right.

(19:02):
It is.
It's partly, I think a lot of, alot of the jobs that I think
we've taken on a lot of thetimes it comes down to the
relationships you have with eachindividual and stuff like that.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's a lot harder to,um.
You know, deal with people thatslack or have issues, um, but

(19:26):
you still have some kind ofbond.
You know?
I think that's the No, for sure.
Main thing for sure is thatyou're bonded to them for Yeah.
Especially how long you workwith them.
Yeah, that's true.
And if you want me to be honest,there's a lot of people there
that got some work ethic issues.
That's for another.
That's another, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's for another, another day.
Yeah, that's for another day.
