There you go, you know what Ithink.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm not into smoking cigarettes or anything.
I think that a cigarette islike a pause in your day and I
feel like a cigar is aconversation, because if you're
smoking a cigar, you're smokinga cigar to relax and have a long
conversation with someone.
That's what I think.
Yeah, you might be right,because here we are I know, I
(03:43):

know.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah.

Hmm, well, we're just , we're back from a commercial
break.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Exactly, we're back from a commercial break.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Everybody has to have a commercial break.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
This is true.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I haven't thought about doing commercials or
anything, though.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, we did a nice little one about the cigar place
.
You know, this is true, that istrue.
A nice little cigar, and everyyear I come down here, I stop
there and get my cigar.
That's good, that's true, thatis true, yep.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So how's Seller 54 doing?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Seller 54 is doing great.
It's doing real good, nice good, fantastic year.
Every year we're growing alittle by little.
One of these years we'll makeit down here in the shelves of
these stores down here one ofthese years, but it just takes a
long, long time to getdeveloped and branch out
(04:51):
everywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Are you in any grocery stores up north right
now?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, wow.
Yeah, we're in grocery stores,the state stores, you know Wine
and Spirits.
And yeah, we're at other placestoo, you know.
So we are branching.
It's just, you know ourmarketing department.
You know it takes a long timeto get a new product out there
on the shelf, but they areworking hard and doing it so and
(05:17):
the winemakers making some good, fantastic wine, oh trust me
wine.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, trust me, wine is something that I love.
Wine now, I never used to likewine as much, but you guys have
definitely made me a wine lover.
Oh, yeah.
And how's the golf course?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
What's the golf course?
Called again um lakesidelakeside because it's right on
the shores of Lake Erie on theNew York and Pennsylvania border
yep, yeah, it's all.
We're hanging in there witheverything right now.
You know it's over.
We're hanging in there witheverything right now.
(06:08):
You know winter does sloweverything down, but then we are
getting.
We're over the hump a littlebit.
You know it's still cold downup there and uh, but we are.
The days are getting longer.
Uh, by I'm gonna say around the20th of February we'll start
getting the flux and thetemperature.
(06:30):
You know it'll start hitting40s and staying there, maybe
down there in the upper 20s atnight.
So you'll start seeing thatMarch comes along.
It's like a roller coaster.
Yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom,boom.
You know up and down, up anddown all the way.
So we're getting through therough ones, the first time we
had a rough winter in probably agood three years.
So you know it's over, but weare getting.
(06:53):
You know we're coming aroundout of it now.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So I can't wait to come up there.
I think if I come up, if I goback to Erie, I'm not going to
come back to Florida.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, I'll tell you one thing it's not as busy.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's what I like.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
As it is down there.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's what I like.
I mean you're going to becomeroommates.
Yes, the boys will smoke acigar every night.
I mean you're going to becomeroommates, just the boys will
smoke a cigar every night, playsome card games and that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
But yeah, yeah, pretty nice, nice up there.
Yeah, Lower, it's not a fastpace, it's a slower pace.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's good for you.
Everyone needs that, you know.
We definitely need that Yep.
So I'm going to ask you aquestion that I asked my brother
.
My question is how do you knowwhen you're dating someone?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, yeah, I haven't dated somebody in I don't know
how many years.
It's been a long time.
But I would go this way you seesomebody, they look attractive
to you, you ask them out, youask them out again.
You might start leaning todating.
(08:37):
At that point I'm saying asecond, second date you're
dating too quick?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't know, I don't .
I don't think that's too quick,I think that it's different.
All right, let me ask you this.
So if I go to go to someone, Isaid, hey, let's go grab lunch,
and we grab them, and we grablunch twice, how is that day?
Or do you have to say, hey,it's a date and that makes it
(09:08):
dating?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It all depends on.
Let's say, you're working withthis person and you say, all
right, let's go get lunch.
It could be just a workingrelationship.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're not leaning toward a date, but a working
relationship, I think, istotally different.
You want to communicate with amale and a female when you're
working.
That makes a good environmentto work in, but I don't know if
(09:41):
you want to date somebody thatyou're working side-by-side in.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I definitely wouldn't do it.
They say you shouldn't crapwhere you eat, so yeah it's.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know, everybody likes, everybody likes to be.
You need a break once in awhile.
That little break is not abreak from your date, but it's.
You can't concentrate on yourdate when you're working,
working's different, working'sfor work.
(10:13):
Yeah, I agree For arelationship at that.
Uh, in that point, but you have, you gotta have a, a working
relationship.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I agree, I think that a lot of people don't know when
they're dating and that whenthey're dating, dating means
different things to people.
So you could go out for lunch amillion times and it's not
dating.
And for some people you have tosay, hey, this is a a date, so
(10:48):
they know that it's a datethat's when you get home, get
all cleaned up, you go on a dateyep, exactly like.
Oh, it's a date.
All right, it's a date.
I'll pick you up at two o'clockso it's.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And today gets harder because you know you take it
down here.
Okay, you gotta.
You gotta get the bed at 930 orso, Get up at four and get
ready.
You gotta drive through all thetraffic and everything and get
to work Before you know it.
You know you got you work aneight hour shift but you know
actually you're working at 13hour shift so you can't date
(11:24):
during a work week.
Yeah, so you got two days off,at the end maybe, or during the
week, but it's tough.
It does play a big toll on adating relationship where it
does.
In a bigger city where you havedriving time to get to that
point of work it's become verydifficult.
(11:47):
But time to get to that pointof where it's become very
difficult.
But I don't know.
Dating another thing is a lot ofpeople get their relationship
way back in school, maybe alittle bit in high school.
They could date, go to collegeand they find somebody they can
date there.
They get out of school beforeyou know it.
(12:08):
That might lead to somethingelse, but I think a lot of
people do find their dating matein some type of relationship
with school or something likethat.
I don't think they find a lotof it at work.
I don't think they find a lotof it at work.
I think I don't want to involvedating at work.
(12:33):
I want to separate that.
But that's just the way I lookat it.
Yeah, so what do you thinkabout it?
Like what?
Where would you know?
(12:55):
How did you meet your wife here?
We go see.
I put it shifted over to hisside.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Um, I actually met her randomly when she was at
work, but but I wasn't working.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
See that I saw her and I said to her I said you
have beautiful eyes.
And she said these are contacts, because when I saw her, those
were the most beautiful eyes Ihad ever seen in my entire life.
And so when she said these arecontacts, I said well, you have
(13:36):
beautiful contacts.
And I said you know what?
We should get coffee sometime.
And she said I don't drinkcoffee.
And I said to her I said thegreat British empire shines
always, so we can drink tea.
And then she laughed and we hadtea the next day.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Well, there you go.
So when would you say it wasyou were dating?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I think we were getting to know each other, like
just to meet each other thefirst time.
But when it was time to go on adate, in my head I was like,
hey, do you want to go on a date?
And he said yes.
When we went to for tea, thatwas just me saying we should
just have tea.
And then after that I was like,hey, you know, we should go on
(14:31):
a date sometime.
And we went on a date.
There you go.
You know what's really funny?
When it was time for me to goon the date with her, I had a
flat tire, I actually had twoflat tires and my neighbor was
like man, you look good, whereare you going?
(14:54):
I said I'm going on a date, Ihave two flat tires.
And he was like well, here's mykeys to my car.
And my neighbor gave me thekeys to his car to go on my date
.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Oh, that was nice of him.
Yeah, geez, very good, yep.
And you see, now that's adifferent angle, you know, than
how I did, how I met my wife.
I met my wife, matter of fact,we went, you know, we went to
school with pretty good size andI really never noticed her
(15:30):
until one time at a basketballgame, mm-hmm yeah.
And I met her and we startedtalking, and then I started
talking a little bit more andmore in school with her.
And it led to.
Well, we got married and kids,and that's what it all led to.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But that was in school.
Like I was saying, it was inschool.
You started a relationship andit worked from there, but it was
just something.
She was in the same grade andeverything else in high school
and it just escalated more andmore from there and that's the
relationship that grew there.
So we had two different ways.
(16:14):
So I don't know, I think ittook me after I met her in the
basketball game.
It took me probably a coupleweeks.
After that we went on a date.
You know, back then we'd go toa movie or something like that.
You know I go to a movie, okay,and you know, and so we just
(16:34):
hung out like that, you know,and then it was a date I was, I
didn't go to me, you know, inschool.
You know I had a, I had.
You know I was a wrestler andand so you know, in football,
and so it wasn't too much, youknow, dating during those sports
(16:54):
you know, afterwards yeah, youknow, in the summertime, go on a
date, this and that it justgrew from there.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yep, wrestling was one of the reasons why I didn't
date too.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yep, I tell them like hey, I'm busy, it's wrestling
season.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I tell them as a guy, I tell them I don't want to
gain any weight.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, yeah, that's true, you gotta watch your
weight and everything like thatGotta watch that.
Wrestling is great, for I thinkwrestling is a great sport
Getting off the dating.
But wrestling is a great sportbecause it gives you
self-confidence in yourself.
It's just you and your opponenton the other side and you're
going to do a little battling,mm-hmm, and it's self-discipline
(17:47):
and it teaches you that.
It teaches you self-disciplinewhere it gives you that little
bit edge over a lot of people,where you can apply yourself.
Yes, you don't need a crowdbehind you, I can apply myself
(18:10):
to whatever I'm doing, and sothat's and it develops a lot of
young kids out there.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Whenever I'm having a hard day at work, I'm always
okay.
I just I tell myself challengeaccepted Whenever the day is
hard, challenge accepted.
Whenever someone doubts me,challenge accepted.
Whenever the day is hard,challenge accepted.
Whenever someone doubts me,challenge accepted.
I think that's something thatwrestling gave me, that it makes
(18:41):
it okay for things to be tough.
I'm okay with things beingtough.
I wouldn't trade that foranything.
I wouldn't trade running up thestairs a million times.
I wouldn't trade running in thehot Florida sun.
I wouldn't trade that foranything.
I wouldn't trade running up thestairs a million times.
I wouldn't trade running in thehot Florida sun.
I wouldn't trade wrestling inthat hot wrestling room, sweaty,
(19:02):
I wouldn't trade that foranything.
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yep If it's you.
That's what he taught me, it'syou how much you put in.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's you, that's what he taught me.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's you how much you put in it's you, now let's
carry that experience you hadinto.
Okay, now you got arelationship going.
Now you get married, you have afamily.
There's where the guy has theguy has to say, hey, this is my
(19:32):
family, I have to give all I gottoward that family and that's
how it has to be.
There's no, oh, it's gettingtoo tough, I want to run away.
It's that's what it's all about.
(19:54):
That's what life is about israising of good, good, healthy,
spiritual family.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I agree, because your kids see it all in.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And there's where the guy has to step up and say this
is the way it is, not the wayit was when you were a kid
running wild.
This is the way it is.
You're going to have your upsand downs in a relationship, but
it's how you get around it andI think wrestling teaches that.
You're going to have ups anddowns in a split second.
(20:29):
A split second you relax andboom, that guy's components are
going to point against you thedowns in a split second.
A split second.
You're relaxing, boom, thatguy's scoring points against you
.
The same.
In a marriage, sometimes youhave those up and downs, so you
have to work around it and neverrun from it.
You work around it, youremotions and stuff, and you work
it out and you keep going andthat's how a relationship and
(20:56):
the dating and all that stuffcomes together.
See that, the circle of life.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
The circle of life Wrestling, dating, working hard.
Yes, the circle of life.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
There it is.
And then when you say it's alldone and the kids are growing
good and the wife's having agreat time, you're having a
great time.
You can sit down, have a beeror a glass of wine or whatever
and have a nice little cigar andsay guess what we did?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
it yes.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
We did it.
Look at this, look what we have.
We did it.
And at this, look what we havewe did it.
And that's what life is.
That's exactly what it is.
We did it Right there, when youcan say we did it yeah.

definitely made me a wine lover.
Oh, yeah.
And how's the golf course?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
What's the golf course?
Called again um lakesidelakeside because it's right on
the shores of Lake Erie on theNew York and Pennsylvania border
yep, yeah, it's all.
We're hanging in there witheverything right now.
You know it's over.
We're hanging in there witheverything right now.
(06:08):
You know winter does sloweverything down, but then we are
getting.
We're over the hump a littlebit.
You know it's still cold downup there and uh, but we are.
The days are getting longer.
Uh, by I'm gonna say around the20th of February we'll start
getting the flux and thetemperature.
(06:30):
You know it'll start hitting40s and staying there, maybe
down there in the upper 20s atnight.
So you'll start seeing thatMarch comes along.
It's like a roller coaster.
Yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom,boom.
You know up and down, up anddown all the way.
So we're getting through therough ones, the first time we
had a rough winter in probably agood three years.
So you know it's over, but weare getting.
(06:53):
You know we're coming aroundout of it now.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So I can't wait to come up there.
I think if I come up, if I goback to Erie, I'm not going to
come back to Florida.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, I'll tell you one thing it's not as busy.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's what I like.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
As it is down there.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's what I like.
I mean you're going to becomeroommates.
Yes, the boys will smoke acigar every night.
I mean you're going to becomeroommates, just the boys will
smoke a cigar every night, playsome card games and that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
But yeah, yeah, pretty nice, nice up there.
Yeah, Lower, it's not a fastpace, it's a slower pace.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's good for you.
Everyone needs that, you know.
We definitely need that Yep.
So I'm going to ask you aquestion that I asked my brother
.
My question is how do you knowwhen you're dating someone?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, yeah, I haven't dated somebody in I don't know
how many years.
It's been a long time.
But I would go this way you seesomebody, they look attractive
to you, you ask them out, youask them out again.
You might start leaning todating.
(08:37):
At that point I'm saying asecond, second date you're
dating too quick?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't know, I don't .
I don't think that's too quick,I think that it's different.
All right, let me ask you this.
So if I go to go to someone, Isaid, hey, let's go grab lunch,
and we grab them, and we grablunch twice, how is that day?
Or do you have to say, hey,it's a date and that makes it
(09:08):
dating?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It all depends on.
Let's say, you're working withthis person and you say, all
right, let's go get lunch.
It could be just a workingrelationship.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're not leaning toward a date, but a working
relationship, I think, istotally different.
You want to communicate with amale and a female when you're
working.
That makes a good environmentto work in, but I don't know if
(09:41):
you want to date somebody thatyou're working side-by-side in.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I definitely wouldn't do it.
They say you shouldn't crapwhere you eat, so yeah it's.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know, everybody likes, everybody likes to be.
You need a break once in awhile.
That little break is not abreak from your date, but it's.
You can't concentrate on yourdate when you're working,
working's different, working'sfor work.
(10:13):
Yeah, I agree For arelationship at that.
Uh, in that point, but you have, you gotta have a, a working
relationship.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I agree, I think that a lot of people don't know when
they're dating and that whenthey're dating, dating means
different things to people.
So you could go out for lunch amillion times and it's not
dating.
And for some people you have tosay, hey, this is a a date, so
(10:48):
they know that it's a datethat's when you get home, get
all cleaned up, you go on a dateyep, exactly like.
Oh, it's a date.
All right, it's a date.
I'll pick you up at two o'clockso it's.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And today gets harder because you know you take it
down here.
Okay, you gotta.
You gotta get the bed at 930 orso, Get up at four and get
ready.
You gotta drive through all thetraffic and everything and get
to work Before you know it.
You know you got you work aneight hour shift but you know
actually you're working at 13hour shift so you can't date
(11:24):
during a work week.
Yeah, so you got two days off,at the end maybe, or during the
week, but it's tough.
It does play a big toll on adating relationship where it
does.
In a bigger city where you havedriving time to get to that
point of work it's become verydifficult.
(11:47):
But time to get to that pointof where it's become very
difficult.
But I don't know.
Dating another thing is a lot ofpeople get their relationship
way back in school, maybe alittle bit in high school.
They could date, go to collegeand they find somebody they can
date there.
They get out of school beforeyou know it.
(12:08):
That might lead to somethingelse, but I think a lot of
people do find their dating matein some type of relationship
with school or something likethat.
I don't think they find a lotof it at work.
I don't think they find a lotof it at work.
I think I don't want to involvedating at work.
(12:33):
I want to separate that.
But that's just the way I lookat it.
Yeah, so what do you thinkabout it?
Like what?
Where would you know?
(12:55):
How did you meet your wife here?
We go see.
I put it shifted over to hisside.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Um, I actually met her randomly when she was at
work, but but I wasn't working.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
See that I saw her and I said to her I said you
have beautiful eyes.
And she said these are contacts, because when I saw her, those
were the most beautiful eyes Ihad ever seen in my entire life.
And so when she said these arecontacts, I said well, you have
(13:36):
beautiful contacts.
And I said you know what?
We should get coffee sometime.
And she said I don't drinkcoffee.
And I said to her I said thegreat British empire shines
always, so we can drink tea.
And then she laughed and we hadtea the next day.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Well, there you go.
So when would you say it wasyou were dating?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I think we were getting to know each other, like
just to meet each other thefirst time.
But when it was time to go on adate, in my head I was like,
hey, do you want to go on a date?
And he said yes.
When we went to for tea, thatwas just me saying we should
just have tea.
And then after that I was like,hey, you know, we should go on
(14:31):
a date sometime.
And we went on a date.
There you go.
You know what's really funny?
When it was time for me to goon the date with her, I had a
flat tire, I actually had twoflat tires and my neighbor was
like man, you look good, whereare you going?
(14:54):
I said I'm going on a date, Ihave two flat tires.
And he was like well, here's mykeys to my car.
And my neighbor gave me thekeys to his car to go on my date
.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Oh, that was nice of him.
Yeah, geez, very good, yep.
And you see, now that's adifferent angle, you know, than
how I did, how I met my wife.
I met my wife, matter of fact,we went, you know, we went to
school with pretty good size andI really never noticed her
(15:30):
until one time at a basketballgame, mm-hmm yeah.
And I met her and we startedtalking, and then I started
talking a little bit more andmore in school with her.
And it led to.
Well, we got married and kids,and that's what it all led to.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But that was in school.
Like I was saying, it was inschool.
You started a relationship andit worked from there, but it was
just something.
She was in the same grade andeverything else in high school
and it just escalated more andmore from there and that's the
relationship that grew there.
So we had two different ways.
(16:14):
So I don't know, I think ittook me after I met her in the
basketball game.
It took me probably a coupleweeks.
After that we went on a date.
You know, back then we'd go toa movie or something like that.
You know I go to a movie, okay,and you know, and so we just
(16:34):
hung out like that, you know,and then it was a date I was, I
didn't go to me, you know, inschool.
You know I had a, I had.
You know I was a wrestler andand so you know, in football,
and so it wasn't too much, youknow, dating during those sports
(16:54):
you know, afterwards yeah, youknow, in the summertime, go on a
date, this and that it justgrew from there.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yep, wrestling was one of the reasons why I didn't
date too.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yep, I tell them like hey, I'm busy, it's wrestling
season.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I tell them as a guy, I tell them I don't want to
gain any weight.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, yeah, that's true, you gotta watch your
weight and everything like thatGotta watch that.
Wrestling is great, for I thinkwrestling is a great sport
Getting off the dating.
But wrestling is a great sportbecause it gives you
self-confidence in yourself.
It's just you and your opponenton the other side and you're
going to do a little battling,mm-hmm, and it's self-discipline
(17:47):
and it teaches you that.
It teaches you self-disciplinewhere it gives you that little
bit edge over a lot of people,where you can apply yourself.
Yes, you don't need a crowdbehind you, I can apply myself
(18:10):
to whatever I'm doing, and sothat's and it develops a lot of
young kids out there.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Whenever I'm having a hard day at work, I'm always
okay.
I just I tell myself challengeaccepted Whenever the day is
hard, challenge accepted.
Whenever someone doubts me,challenge accepted.
Whenever the day is hard,challenge accepted.
Whenever someone doubts me,challenge accepted.
I think that's something thatwrestling gave me, that it makes
(18:41):
it okay for things to be tough.
I'm okay with things beingtough.
I wouldn't trade that foranything.
I wouldn't trade running up thestairs a million times.
I wouldn't trade running in thehot Florida sun.
I wouldn't trade that foranything.
I wouldn't trade running up thestairs a million times.
I wouldn't trade running in thehot Florida sun.
I wouldn't trade wrestling inthat hot wrestling room, sweaty,
(19:02):
I wouldn't trade that foranything.
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yep If it's you.
That's what he taught me, it'syou how much you put in.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's you, that's what he taught me.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's you how much you put in it's you, now let's
carry that experience you hadinto.
Okay, now you got arelationship going.
Now you get married, you have afamily.
There's where the guy has theguy has to say, hey, this is my
(19:32):
family, I have to give all I gottoward that family and that's
how it has to be.
There's no, oh, it's gettingtoo tough, I want to run away.
It's that's what it's all about.
(19:54):
That's what life is about israising of good, good, healthy,
spiritual family.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I agree, because your kids see it all in.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And there's where the guy has to step up and say this
is the way it is, not the wayit was when you were a kid
running wild.
This is the way it is.
You're going to have your upsand downs in a relationship, but
it's how you get around it andI think wrestling teaches that.
You're going to have ups anddowns in a split second.
(20:29):
A split second you relax andboom, that guy's components are
going to point against you thedowns in a split second.
A split second.
You're relaxing, boom, thatguy's scoring points against you
.
The same.
In a marriage, sometimes youhave those up and downs, so you
have to work around it and neverrun from it.
You work around it, youremotions and stuff, and you work
it out and you keep going andthat's how a relationship and
(20:56):
the dating and all that stuffcomes together.
See that, the circle of life.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
The circle of life Wrestling, dating, working hard.
Yes, the circle of life.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
There it is.
And then when you say it's alldone and the kids are growing
good and the wife's having agreat time, you're having a
great time.
You can sit down, have a beeror a glass of wine or whatever
and have a nice little cigar andsay guess what we did?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
it yes.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
We did it.
Look at this, look what we have.
We did it.
And at this, look what we havewe did it.
And that's what life is.
That's exactly what it is.
We did it Right there, when youcan say we did it yeah.
