This week on the podcast, It'sthe teachers that made a difference in your
life, plus the top five blanketof blanks on the Funny Life. Well,
good morning, good morning, goodafternoon, or good evening. When
you have you decided to listen tothis, if you're going to go on
(00:22):
a walk, if you're going tomeditate, I will be the voice in
your head for the next thirty minutes. Along with in that voice is going
to be a higher pitch, andthat's Ron Phillips. Oh you got me,
you got me all down. Andthe deeper voice of all is Lisa
Bruce, my tour manager and oneof my best friends. And thank you.
(00:45):
Last week it seemed like only minutesago that we celebrated my birthday.
I appreciate it. Today I decidedwhere the cowboy hat and and and sport
a lazy Jay teacher now lazy Jayif you don't know, if you ever
go to the Stockyards, they've gota shop there. And but they do
(01:07):
great branding. And I just hadlunch with the owner of Brad Humphreyes and
we talked a lot about branding andhow he's gotten his brand really has gone
globe. I guess global because somany people will wear it, and it's
been worn in videos and everything else. So thank you to him for his
(01:32):
guidance. But uh, you know, you have to have these teachers in
your life. And and I guesspart of the reason that I wanted to
make this subject about teachers is thatmy grandsons are moving all on and they
still have the awards ceremony. Now, the award ceremony this year I did
(01:53):
not go to. Now is thisan elementary or elementary awards ceremony? Now
you have grandkids, don't you?I do, yes, sir, yeah,
and I know you do too.And uh, am I an awful
person for not wanting to go toevery one of these. I don't y'all,
(02:16):
don't yell. Don't y'all don't wantto ask me? Then? No,
no, and I don't. Idon't. I don't think it's a
bad thing that you go to them. I just why so I would like
to know you're because I you know, I I my grandparents. I cannot
(02:37):
remember maybe my graduation, maybe myhigh school graduation. They were there,
but even there, I don't evenknow if they've made it to my graduation.
Because I'm the youngest of the fourand so by the time it got
to me it was even old news. But you think you should make it
to all these things. I meanI had a set of grandparents that would
(02:59):
show up, and a grandmother ora grandmother the witch wo up. And
the set of grandparents that really wouldn't. And I remember the one that would
she didn't live close, so whenshe wasn't, when she was close,
she was. See. The thingis is that I go to a lot
of events, a lot of events, but especially the ones that are like,
(03:21):
uh, these elementary graduations. Yes, I'll go to those. I
do go with those, but seethose the ones I don't want to go
to because I'm like, you're notgraduating, You're just part of the school
system. You're just going to thenext grade. Just go you've now finished,
throw your trapper in the trash andmove on and enjoying your summer and
get on joing your summer. Whyare we graduating, You're not You're the
(03:46):
first grade. You're going to theinfans second grade. Just go to the
second grade. Why do you haveto They even put him in camping gowns?
Bill, I thought that was onlyafter kindergarten. Kindergarten graduation, so
he didn't poop his pants every week. You still not seven point us.
Maybe all of it. It's justexhausting anymore to be a grandparent. You
(04:10):
know, I bet I make twentyevents a year, twenty ball games and
some kind twenty sort of things.But if I don't make all of them,
suddenly I'm the asshole because I don'twant to fight. First of all,
it's it's like going to the elementaryschool or the middle school for these
programs is like going to church onEaster and on Christmas. Only the people
(04:34):
that don't ever come are there,So you got you can't find anywhere to
park, and then you've got totry to find the people that you know,
and you walk in. Then yousit in the gym and it's the
same program. It's the same kidsfor the last And you know, my
oldest daughter, she's a vice.She's the principal at the middle school,
(04:54):
so there's more incentive for me tobe there as well, to watch her
do the presentation and whole thing.I don't want to be there. I
don't want to. I know it'swrong. I know it's wrong, but
it's just setting through kid after kidafter kid, and then and they come
in and I know you're supposed todo it, but you know, just
(05:16):
let's count. Make me give mea list of twenty of them that I
got to make for the year,twenty out of three hundred and sixty five
days. Now, I don't knowwhat the percentage of that is, but
that sounds to me like about sixpercent. I don't know if anybody has
a phone, because I don't haveit with me, But what is twenty
divided by three hundred and sixty five? Is anybody got that number while you're
talking? So if I make twentyevents, that that's already twenty events more
(05:43):
than my dad ever made. Okay, my dad didn't ever come that's point
zero five Okay, yeah, fivepercent? Right, yeah, I make
five percent of all the functions.I think I should get my own award
for pairing of the damn year andevery year. The other thing is that
it's you can always tell the kidsthat are gonna win the awards. Right,
(06:09):
the little girl that sets up straightand proper, she's gonna get perfect
attendance. You know that's gonna cometrue. And then you see the snaggle
puss of the kid that comes in. That's picking his butt, and you're
like, that kid ain't get They'regonna make up an award for him most
enthusiastic in the classroom. I heardthat one once, most enthusiastic. We're
(06:31):
setting around. I am missing pricesright for the most enthusiastic kid in the
classroom award. Okay, So thatbrings us to our top five awards.
Yeah, the top five reasons yourkid didn't get an award in elementary school
this year. Number five, theday he graduated fifth grade. It was
(06:55):
also the day he got his driver'slicense. Number four. He's homeschooled,
and you know for a fact theteacher doesn't like him. Number three,
all the homework answers were tuned.Let me try it again, all the
homework answers. Let's do that again. Let's just hang on Number three.
(07:17):
There we go. Number three,all the homework answers were turned in with
wikipediad still attached. That's true.Short. Number two. He doesn't know
the words to the Preamble to theConstitution, but he can recite every line
to Talladega Knights. And the numberone reason why your kid didn't win an
award at the elementary school this year, every time the teacher asked a question,
(07:42):
he replied, you got a phone, look it up, be hot.
I screwed up. I wouldn't havegot the award for the top five
best top five that I did becauseI screwed up three on the read.
But you know you can't you can'tgo wrong with me. So I know,
now, if you've got comments,if you've got the reasons why you
(08:05):
don't like the kid didn't get anaward or something, then put it in
the comments there and we'll we'll alsocut this up and put it in reels
and we'll put it uh as whatthey call those other things shorts on on
YouTube. Thank you so yeah.So I I do want to mention though,
that that the the award that theydon't give enough at the at the
(08:28):
uh AT. These things should beto the teachers, should be to the
teachers what teachers have to deal withthese days. So we're awarding all the
children that are in the room,every kid in there. And it goes
back to what everybody talks about,with everybody getting you know, pication some
sort of you know, like Isaid that the most creative in the room
(08:50):
and all that other stuff, Butthe people that really should get the award
is the teacher underpaid, h unappreciatedthese days with parents, absolutely they're the
ones that's guilty of everything and theirprecious little snuty nosed kid can't do anything
(09:11):
wrong. And I personally want totake this podcast and mention some of the
teachers that absolutely made a difference inmy life. The first one that I
had was Miss Leckler in elementary school. Now, when I went to school
a billion years ago, we werea very progressive school. Now people wouldn't
(09:35):
think that about Texas and public school, but we had units. We didn't
have just grades, so third,fourth and fifth grade you were put in
units. So I was in UnitD in fifth grade, which were the
smarter kids. So the reason whythey separated us out like that because we
were all going at a certain leveland they didn't want us to stay behind
(09:58):
trying catch up all the other kids. Where now it's everybody's in the thing,
and if you're a disruptor, ifyou're still has to still has to
teach that kid so that they're inevery classroom. I would venture a guest
for a teacher there is two orthree kids at the most sometimes even more.
(10:20):
But they disrupt and don't allow theother twenty four kids in that room
to get educated. And now whenI was going to school, they were
trying to fix that. So theyliterally separated you by by your grade and
and and your your your ability toyour intellect. I feel like that's almost
a good idea. Everybody learned,No, everybody learns at a different pace.
(10:43):
It is at a different pace,but it also there. It's a
great idea to me, it's agreat idea. But they won't do it
anymore. No, no, no, not anymore, because how come my
kids not in unity? Well,your dumb ass kid doesn't do any of
his homework, right, your kiddoesn't come to school, Your kid doesn't
do any of those things. Theteacher's hands are tied so much. But
(11:05):
miss Leckler I loved her. Sheshe had hairy arms, and everybody picked
on her because she had hairy arms. Yeah, and I didn't I didn't
care it was it was it likereally hairy or was it just dark hair?
I don't remember because I was youknow, but I had her fourth
and fifth grade, and uh,she was the coolest lady. And then
in sixth grade I had Miss Surreywho back then the transition was fifth grade
(11:31):
where you were the king of theroost, right, and then you were
putting sixth grade with the sixth,seventh, and eighth graders, and now
you're just bottom bottom, your bottomfeeders. And for me it was even
more dramatic because we were socially economically, uh separated at the middle school,
so blue Mound, we were BlueMound Sagon on Lake Country States. So
(11:54):
I'd never experienced people thinking I waspoor, like I knew that. I
we report. We talked about thisbefore. I hate you were poor.
Oh yeah, I know it.Oh I know yeah, you know you
poor in elementary school? Yes,no, ye, I always hated it
when people say we were poor.We didn't know it. Yeah, I
knew it TV. We had TVby the time. I knew who was
(12:16):
eating real fruit loops and fruit loops. I knew cereal came in a box
and not in a bag. Inever saw it, but I saw it
in a bag. I never sawit in a box except on You know,
we knew we were poor. Weknew we were poor. We knew
(12:37):
we were buying our tennis shoes thatyou had to cut with a string.
You know, the string that heldthem together with the little metal clamp.
Yeah, yeah, that you gotin the grocery store. I feel like
in elementary school, I just didn'tcare. Maybe maybe you didn't care,
but I knew. But I certainlyif I didn't know it, know it.
I knew it in sixth grade.Because in sixth grade, sure,
we were definitely divided, and thekids literally would treat you a little differently
(13:03):
if you were a Blue Mound kidversus Lake Country Estate kid. And that
lasted all the way through high school. You know, I'm having my fortieth
high school reunion and it's coming up, and the committee all got together,
and now I'm a big man oncampus. I'm one of the most famous
people out of Bottle. But mypoint was, and I told him,
(13:24):
I said, listen, y'all ruinedmy prom by calling it sailing. That's
the name of the theme was sailing, because did they have Christopher Cross out
there. We didn't have Christopher Crosssinging, and we didn't have that kind
of money, but we had itplaying anyway. But because Lake Country Estate
had Eagle Mountain Lake and those kidsall had sailboats. So all the cake
(13:46):
eaters had sailboats. We none ofus over in the mound regular Mounder,
that's what we called ourselves, theoriginal Mounders. We didn't know anything about
damn sailing and sailboats and everything else. Yeah, so this year for the
reunion, it ain't going to beanything about no safe. I don't blame
you. But at my show acouple of weeks ago in Arlington, a
(14:09):
guy came up to me and itwas mister Reese. And mister Reese was
the band director at Wayside Middle School. Now, he got there the same
year that I did. Now,when I tried out for drums, and
that's what I want to do.I told my mother, I said I
want to be a drummer. Andmy brother played trumpet, my sister played
trumpet, and my other brother playedtrumpet. And I said, all I
(14:31):
want to play is drums. I'vebeen beating on bands and everything else.
And and I go to fifth gradeand they give you the evaluation. You
go, you go to the middleschool to do the evaluation, and the
guy there said he's got no rhythmat all, offered me the tuba and
offered it to my mother, saidwe need a tuba player. I think
you'd be great at tuba. AndI told my mom, I said,
(14:54):
listen, I'm either playing drums,I'm not playing anything at all, and
I'm st and I'm sure what theywere looking forward just tuba players, right.
And that next year I started drumsand mister Reese was my band director
and he was the first guy,the first male really in my life to
(15:16):
be a really really positive influence onfollowing dreams and talents. Right. My
dad was not that guy. Mydad my my dad's brother. I don't
know how how they have not gottenalong their whole lives, but my dad
and my dad's brother are completely opposites. My dad is a truck driver,
(15:39):
very don't go after any dreams ever. I mean would literally say it out
loud, God rest his soul.My my my uncle completely different. My
uncle. He was a what dothey call it servant? Uh? Musically
and uh and uh. My dadalways referred to him as meathead. And
(16:00):
he was always in school but turnedout he had a doctorate in psychology.
He also played on a Beatles albumClarinet and something else, and then he
was friends with John Prime and Ididn't really even meet him until I was
fourteen years old and wondered where becauseI was real smart at school and I
(16:22):
had no idea where it came from. My mother didn't finish eighth grade,
my dad didn't finish eleventh grade,and they weren't helping me with homework by
the time I was in sixth grade, and I have no idea where this
came from. You know, Ifelt like an Ostrich in my own house,
you know, because my other twobrothers and sisters skad by. I
mean just like literally where they liftup the curtain a little bit and go
(16:44):
go ahead, let him in thegraduation they're okay, just slide on,
just barely made it, and soit was real hard. But I had
mister Reese who saw the potential andthe drumming, and I never left first
chair from you know, sixth gradeall the way through high school. And
then uh, were you in amarching band? Oh yeah, it was
(17:07):
marching band and we were the firstgroup, uh in high school to come
with a modern drum line. That'swhat we did. So and when I
was in high school in Burlson,we we had the modern drum corps style
and I was a drummer. Ididn't make first chair though, so so
would you play? I played snareand bass Okay, no snaring dries sorry?
(17:29):
Oh yeah, So now they havequads. So what we're saying there
are four drums versus three drums.Uh. My freshman year, I played
uh trytops and then uh and uh. I loved band. I loved Marching
band. Marching Band really saved everythingabout my life, you know. So
(17:49):
when my parents moved away, oneof the reason why I stayed was to
stay in band. And then uhand I was I was on my own
and not the greatest kid to hangout with as far as as far as
the band directors were, because Iwas good, I was talented, and
I was cocky, and I wasalso fifteen and scared, sixteen and scared
(18:14):
right, And then they all plannedon me moving away because I was moving
away my senior year at the endof my junior year, and I moved
to East Texas with my parents.And when I moved there, they had
bought this whole farmhouse from this ladythat had a hundred cats inside the house.
And I spent the entire summer takingdown sheet rock and there was feces
in that inside those walls because theywere all up in the attic and everything
(18:38):
else right. And one day mydad came in and said, hey,
you can either I called your brotherand you can move there with him,
because before that I had lived kindof with him, but also with my
mom's best friend. And he said, you can move there, but don't
call me for any money, oryou can stay here and shut up and
finish out the dude your senior yearhere and I didn't think about it.
I reached some of the soup tothe bed and grabbed his big old blue
(19:00):
suitcase, and back before they hadwheels on them, started throwing my stuff
in there. And I never leftbehind. And when I got to school,
all the band directors they were actuallythe three assistants or the two of
assistants, were pretty excited that Iwasn't going to be there, and then
they were surprised that I was therethe first day, but we had a
(19:21):
new band director and it was lessRoss, and less Ross saw a kid
that was just scared. And ifit wasn't for less Ross, and I
can honestly say this on the podcastin front of y'all, I would have
put a bullet my head. Bythe time I was eighteen years old real
line. Well, I was alone. I was scared. I was alone.
(19:44):
Nothing was coming out your brother atthe time. Oh, it was
a horrible situation. He was alsoa truck driver. And my brother is
seven years older, seven years olderin the day, and he was married,
he had twins and a baby.And so what is so y'all weren't
like super close. We're still we'restill not super close, and which makes
me sad, you know, butwe're only seven years apart, but we
(20:07):
are worlds apart. He was alreadyout of the house and uh, and
I he was my dad's favorite aswell, you know, So it was
not to be all sad about it, but it's part of the stuff.
But that's what I'm saying. Theseteachers, their teachers difference in good and
bad. Uh. I had tomyself that were good or bad? Good,
(20:30):
But let's talk about the good ones. No, I mean, I
was I was just starting high schooland I didn't know what I was going
to do. And my dad talkedme into joining r O. T.
C. And it was a brandnew Air Force detachment and the two instructors,
Colonel Rudiger and Chief Casein uh werebasically my parents through high school,
(20:52):
and they treated me that way.They I mean, and and you know,
the Air Force teaches you about rodderieand leadership and all this other stuff.
I couldn't have gone through high schoolwithout those two guys because I wasn't
the best kind of student. Youknow. I wasn't getting the a's.
I was getting b's and c's ifI was lucky. So they kept me
(21:12):
through high school and I graduated.So I was thankful for that. Well,
and getting that accountability in your lifeprobably was absolutely And I tell people
this all the time. You knowall the time that we talk about that
you raised boys and girls the same. They're not the same boys. I
don't know about girls, okay,because they're hard to figure out. Maybe
(21:33):
you can help me with it,lip it. But with boys, they
need structure and discipline in their life. And you can't sell me on any
other way. And if I seeit, We've talked about this before on
the podcast. If I see akid that can't shake a hand, I
also know that he doesn't have disciplinein his life and he doesn't have structure
in his life. But I hadnone of those so and I knew I
(21:56):
was drinking a whole lot too inmy senior year because I you know,
now, I'm not even a closetdrinker. I'm I can buy it anywhere,
and uh, uh you know,we're I could tell by my yearbook
how much I was drinking. Youhave a look back on your yearbook,
wrote and everybody was like, hey, take it easy on the booze.
(22:17):
Good luck into college, you know, and uh but yeah, and the
other the other person I want togive a shout out to is is uh
miss Woodward. Yeah, that washer name, Uh Woodward Woodward. Uh
she uh freshman year saw my writingand for the first time ever, somebody
said, hey, you can tellthe story. You should really pursue something
(22:37):
in telling stories. And I wroteand I wrote, and she would read
this stuff and stuff that wasn't ineven in her class. I would write
a short story and she would readit and critique it and said, well,
you can do this, and youcan do that and really push me
in the writing. But we don'tdo that for teachers. We don't.
We don't give those awards to teachers, and we and it's a shame that
(23:02):
we spend the whole time making upawards for kids and we don't say,
hey, the teacher that really showeda lot of emphasis is blank. So
on behalf of me and this wonderfulstamp. If you're out there as a
teacher, thank god, thank you, thank you, thank you for shutting
up with the kids, and thankyou for for what you're having to do
(23:23):
with parents these days, because I'veheard the stories, you know, not
not for my daughter. I wewere standing in line at Joe T.
Garcias, and the line the thingthat I talked about in the blankety blanks
where I was talking about all homeworkanswers were turned in with the Wikipedia ad
still attached. So we were standingin line, me and Michelle at Joe
(23:45):
T. Garcias, you know,for our anniversary dinner, and these teachers
were behind us, and I knewthey were teachers because they were really drunk.
Yes, you know you're the teachers. But they were talking and I
told him, I said, bequiet, I'm listening. What's going on
behind And they were talking about thiskid who turned into paper and she put
(24:07):
a zero on it, and themom came up and literally was cussing her
out, and how could you knowthat my kid was cheating? Who do
you think you are thinking, Andshe said I waited for the whole thing
because she's always coming up there todefend this kid, and said, next
time he copies off of Wikipedia,he should probably take off the ads.
(24:30):
She left the ad lord in theturned in paper. Teacher kid better,
lady, Yeah, teach him tocheat, teach him how to do it
right, teach him smart. Sonow we heard from him. Did you
have a teacher there? Oh?Yeah, I had quite a few.
Actually, this is your time togive me time to shine. Golly.
(24:51):
My first grade teacher, Missus Freeley, and then my second grade teacher,
Missus Burkett, loved them, andI've run into them lately and they recognized
me. What. Yeah, it'sfantastic. Yes, like one of them
was just in January. No,stick the camera on me, that's bullshit.
Okay, look at this face.So I didn't like a one first
grade or second grade? Do youlook exactly like it? Oh? No?
(25:14):
And I'm like, oh, doy'all remember me anyway? But I
was. I figured they remember mebecause I was naughty, But they both
said that I was fabulous and Iwas so kind and sweet. I still
don't buy the fact that you keepsaying that you were naughty. I feel
like I was. But anyway,and then my we had teachers, Miss
Carter and Miss Bishop from seventh eighthand they followed us into ninth and they
(25:40):
were roommates, young teachers that hadjust graduated Texas Women's University and lived up
there, and George Strait was comingto play at Texas Women's University. Those
two teachers invited I don't remember howmany of us, eight of us to
go, and we all spent thenight at their apartment afterwards and had school
(26:00):
the next day. You can't dothat. No, we had the best
time. We got on George Strait'sbus, got autographs. It was amazing.
And I'm still friends with her onFacebook. Yeah. So I just
saw her recently too. Yeah,so Ms Bishop. She married our principal,
mister Holloway. So they're they're now, Yeah, now they're retired and
(26:23):
living life and they're young, young, still great. I don't know how
teachers do it, I honestly don't. I the idea if my parents had
to ever come to school on mybehalf, Oh, we'll see. And
then when Colton was growing up,it was like I'd get a phone call
(26:44):
all the time. This is whyI figure out the read part. It's
just naughty, the red jeens.Anyway, I was just, what do
you do now? I didn't wearrose colored glasses when it came to my
kid. I know better because he'sjust naughty. How do you think parents
do that? How do you thinkparents actually do the whole rose colored glasses
of Oh? Not mine? Isee, I know, I knew.
(27:04):
I'm like, what did he do? Now? And he wasn't horror you
know, he was just doing silly. You know. I was like a
lis when my son would not geta call about him, I was absolutely
sure he did he did what hedid. Yeah, now if you told
me he would have punched a teacheror knocked the old person down. No,
my kid's not doing that, buthe's going to do stupid boys.
(27:26):
Well. Uh. Growing up,the kid that lived across the street from
us was a kid, late greatJerry Reid. His name was Jerry Reed,
like the singer. But Jerry's mombelieved everything that that kid said and
Jerry, he and I talked aboutit. The stuff that he passed off
his truth not even close. Imean, one day, Jerry, there
(27:48):
was this little kid over at thehouse with it, and and I witnessed
it myself. My brother and JerryReid were teaching this kid how to say
all the cus words. He waslike four or five and we were white
eight gosh. And then Jerry's momor the mom of the four or five
year old kid, came in andaccused him all of doing it all of
(28:08):
us. I didn't. I didn'tcuss until I was like ten, But
they accused all of us of doingit, and Jerry's mom took up for
Jerry. I'd never seen anything.My mom would have just come in swinging
belts and waiting for the switches.Yeah, switches. Our mind was a
(28:29):
belt. My dad had a belt, the fastest belt in the West,
and my grandmother had a switch thatI ended up having to go pick myself
off the Peach Street. Yeah,oh, we had to do it.
The only time I really truly hadto get my own switch is when we
got my So I don't know ifI tell this mom was Junior had gotten
out of prison and all of usboys were like twelve or probably twelve thirteen
(28:51):
years old, and we snuck aroundbecause we could hear this this this moaning

(00:45):
Last week it seemed like only minutesago that we celebrated my birthday.
I appreciate it. Today I decidedwhere the cowboy hat and and and sport
a lazy Jay teacher now lazy Jayif you don't know, if you ever
go to the Stockyards, they've gota shop there. And but they do
(01:07):
great branding. And I just hadlunch with the owner of Brad Humphreyes and
we talked a lot about branding andhow he's gotten his brand really has gone
globe. I guess global because somany people will wear it, and it's
been worn in videos and everything else. So thank you to him for his
(01:32):
guidance. But uh, you know, you have to have these teachers in
your life. And and I guesspart of the reason that I wanted to
make this subject about teachers is thatmy grandsons are moving all on and they
still have the awards ceremony. Now, the award ceremony this year I did
(01:53):
not go to. Now is thisan elementary or elementary awards ceremony? Now
you have grandkids, don't you?I do, yes, sir, yeah,
and I know you do too.And uh, am I an awful
person for not wanting to go toevery one of these. I don't y'all,
(02:16):
don't yell. Don't y'all don't wantto ask me? Then? No,
no, and I don't. Idon't. I don't think it's a
bad thing that you go to them. I just why so I would like
to know you're because I you know, I I my grandparents. I cannot
(02:37):
remember maybe my graduation, maybe myhigh school graduation. They were there,
but even there, I don't evenknow if they've made it to my graduation.
Because I'm the youngest of the fourand so by the time it got
to me it was even old news. But you think you should make it
to all these things. I meanI had a set of grandparents that would
(02:59):
show up, and a grandmother ora grandmother the witch wo up. And
the set of grandparents that really wouldn't. And I remember the one that would
she didn't live close, so whenshe wasn't, when she was close,
she was. See. The thingis is that I go to a lot
of events, a lot of events, but especially the ones that are like,
(03:21):
uh, these elementary graduations. Yes, I'll go to those. I
do go with those, but seethose the ones I don't want to go
to because I'm like, you're notgraduating, You're just part of the school
system. You're just going to thenext grade. Just go you've now finished,
throw your trapper in the trash andmove on and enjoying your summer and
get on joing your summer. Whyare we graduating, You're not You're the
(03:46):
first grade. You're going to theinfans second grade. Just go to the
second grade. Why do you haveto They even put him in camping gowns?
Bill, I thought that was onlyafter kindergarten. Kindergarten graduation, so
he didn't poop his pants every week. You still not seven point us.
Maybe all of it. It's justexhausting anymore to be a grandparent. You
(04:10):
know, I bet I make twentyevents a year, twenty ball games and
some kind twenty sort of things.But if I don't make all of them,
suddenly I'm the asshole because I don'twant to fight. First of all,
it's it's like going to the elementaryschool or the middle school for these
programs is like going to church onEaster and on Christmas. Only the people
(04:34):
that don't ever come are there,So you got you can't find anywhere to
park, and then you've got totry to find the people that you know,
and you walk in. Then yousit in the gym and it's the
same program. It's the same kidsfor the last And you know, my
oldest daughter, she's a vice.She's the principal at the middle school,
(04:54):
so there's more incentive for me tobe there as well, to watch her
do the presentation and whole thing.I don't want to be there. I
don't want to. I know it'swrong. I know it's wrong, but
it's just setting through kid after kidafter kid, and then and they come
in and I know you're supposed todo it, but you know, just
(05:16):
let's count. Make me give mea list of twenty of them that I
got to make for the year,twenty out of three hundred and sixty five
days. Now, I don't knowwhat the percentage of that is, but
that sounds to me like about sixpercent. I don't know if anybody has
a phone, because I don't haveit with me, But what is twenty
divided by three hundred and sixty five? Is anybody got that number while you're
talking? So if I make twentyevents, that that's already twenty events more
(05:43):
than my dad ever made. Okay, my dad didn't ever come that's point
zero five Okay, yeah, fivepercent? Right, yeah, I make
five percent of all the functions.I think I should get my own award
for pairing of the damn year andevery year. The other thing is that
it's you can always tell the kidsthat are gonna win the awards. Right,
(06:09):
the little girl that sets up straightand proper, she's gonna get perfect
attendance. You know that's gonna cometrue. And then you see the snaggle
puss of the kid that comes in. That's picking his butt, and you're
like, that kid ain't get They'regonna make up an award for him most
enthusiastic in the classroom. I heardthat one once, most enthusiastic. We're
(06:31):
setting around. I am missing pricesright for the most enthusiastic kid in the
classroom award. Okay, So thatbrings us to our top five awards.
Yeah, the top five reasons yourkid didn't get an award in elementary school
this year. Number five, theday he graduated fifth grade. It was
(06:55):
also the day he got his driver'slicense. Number four. He's homeschooled,
and you know for a fact theteacher doesn't like him. Number three,
all the homework answers were tuned.Let me try it again, all the
homework answers. Let's do that again. Let's just hang on Number three.
(07:17):
There we go. Number three,all the homework answers were turned in with
wikipediad still attached. That's true.Short. Number two. He doesn't know
the words to the Preamble to theConstitution, but he can recite every line
to Talladega Knights. And the numberone reason why your kid didn't win an
award at the elementary school this year, every time the teacher asked a question,
(07:42):
he replied, you got a phone, look it up, be hot.
I screwed up. I wouldn't havegot the award for the top five
best top five that I did becauseI screwed up three on the read.
But you know you can't you can'tgo wrong with me. So I know,
now, if you've got comments,if you've got the reasons why you
(08:05):
don't like the kid didn't get anaward or something, then put it in
the comments there and we'll we'll alsocut this up and put it in reels
and we'll put it uh as whatthey call those other things shorts on on
YouTube. Thank you so yeah.So I I do want to mention though,
that that the the award that theydon't give enough at the at the
(08:28):
uh AT. These things should beto the teachers, should be to the
teachers what teachers have to deal withthese days. So we're awarding all the
children that are in the room,every kid in there. And it goes
back to what everybody talks about,with everybody getting you know, pication some
sort of you know, like Isaid that the most creative in the room
(08:50):
and all that other stuff, Butthe people that really should get the award
is the teacher underpaid, h unappreciatedthese days with parents, absolutely they're the
ones that's guilty of everything and theirprecious little snuty nosed kid can't do anything
(09:11):
wrong. And I personally want totake this podcast and mention some of the
teachers that absolutely made a difference inmy life. The first one that I
had was Miss Leckler in elementary school. Now, when I went to school
a billion years ago, we werea very progressive school. Now people wouldn't
(09:35):
think that about Texas and public school, but we had units. We didn't
have just grades, so third,fourth and fifth grade you were put in
units. So I was in UnitD in fifth grade, which were the
smarter kids. So the reason whythey separated us out like that because we
were all going at a certain leveland they didn't want us to stay behind
(09:58):
trying catch up all the other kids. Where now it's everybody's in the thing,
and if you're a disruptor, ifyou're still has to still has to
teach that kid so that they're inevery classroom. I would venture a guest
for a teacher there is two orthree kids at the most sometimes even more.
(10:20):
But they disrupt and don't allow theother twenty four kids in that room
to get educated. And now whenI was going to school, they were
trying to fix that. So theyliterally separated you by by your grade and
and and your your your ability toyour intellect. I feel like that's almost
a good idea. Everybody learned,No, everybody learns at a different pace.
(10:43):
It is at a different pace,but it also there. It's a
great idea to me, it's agreat idea. But they won't do it
anymore. No, no, no, not anymore, because how come my
kids not in unity? Well,your dumb ass kid doesn't do any of
his homework, right, your kiddoesn't come to school, Your kid doesn't
do any of those things. Theteacher's hands are tied so much. But
(11:05):
miss Leckler I loved her. Sheshe had hairy arms, and everybody picked
on her because she had hairy arms. Yeah, and I didn't I didn't
care it was it was it likereally hairy or was it just dark hair?
I don't remember because I was youknow, but I had her fourth
and fifth grade, and uh,she was the coolest lady. And then
in sixth grade I had Miss Surreywho back then the transition was fifth grade
(11:31):
where you were the king of theroost, right, and then you were
putting sixth grade with the sixth,seventh, and eighth graders, and now
you're just bottom bottom, your bottomfeeders. And for me it was even
more dramatic because we were socially economically, uh separated at the middle school,
so blue Mound, we were BlueMound Sagon on Lake Country States. So
(11:54):
I'd never experienced people thinking I waspoor, like I knew that. I
we report. We talked about thisbefore. I hate you were poor.
Oh yeah, I know it.Oh I know yeah, you know you
poor in elementary school? Yes,no, ye, I always hated it
when people say we were poor.We didn't know it. Yeah, I
knew it TV. We had TVby the time. I knew who was
(12:16):
eating real fruit loops and fruit loops. I knew cereal came in a box
and not in a bag. Inever saw it, but I saw it
in a bag. I never sawit in a box except on You know,
we knew we were poor. Weknew we were poor. We knew
(12:37):
we were buying our tennis shoes thatyou had to cut with a string.
You know, the string that heldthem together with the little metal clamp.
Yeah, yeah, that you gotin the grocery store. I feel like
in elementary school, I just didn'tcare. Maybe maybe you didn't care,
but I knew. But I certainlyif I didn't know it, know it.
I knew it in sixth grade.Because in sixth grade, sure,
we were definitely divided, and thekids literally would treat you a little differently
(13:03):
if you were a Blue Mound kidversus Lake Country Estate kid. And that
lasted all the way through high school. You know, I'm having my fortieth
high school reunion and it's coming up, and the committee all got together,
and now I'm a big man oncampus. I'm one of the most famous
people out of Bottle. But mypoint was, and I told him,
(13:24):
I said, listen, y'all ruinedmy prom by calling it sailing. That's
the name of the theme was sailing, because did they have Christopher Cross out
there. We didn't have Christopher Crosssinging, and we didn't have that kind
of money, but we had itplaying anyway. But because Lake Country Estate
had Eagle Mountain Lake and those kidsall had sailboats. So all the cake
(13:46):
eaters had sailboats. We none ofus over in the mound regular Mounder,
that's what we called ourselves, theoriginal Mounders. We didn't know anything about
damn sailing and sailboats and everything else. Yeah, so this year for the
reunion, it ain't going to beanything about no safe. I don't blame
you. But at my show acouple of weeks ago in Arlington, a
(14:09):
guy came up to me and itwas mister Reese. And mister Reese was
the band director at Wayside Middle School. Now, he got there the same
year that I did. Now,when I tried out for drums, and
that's what I want to do.I told my mother, I said I
want to be a drummer. Andmy brother played trumpet, my sister played
trumpet, and my other brother playedtrumpet. And I said, all I
(14:31):
want to play is drums. I'vebeen beating on bands and everything else.
And and I go to fifth gradeand they give you the evaluation. You
go, you go to the middleschool to do the evaluation, and the
guy there said he's got no rhythmat all, offered me the tuba and
offered it to my mother, saidwe need a tuba player. I think
you'd be great at tuba. AndI told my mom, I said,
(14:54):
listen, I'm either playing drums,I'm not playing anything at all, and
I'm st and I'm sure what theywere looking forward just tuba players, right.
And that next year I started drumsand mister Reese was my band director
and he was the first guy,the first male really in my life to
(15:16):
be a really really positive influence onfollowing dreams and talents. Right. My
dad was not that guy. Mydad my my dad's brother. I don't
know how how they have not gottenalong their whole lives, but my dad
and my dad's brother are completely opposites. My dad is a truck driver,
(15:39):
very don't go after any dreams ever. I mean would literally say it out
loud, God rest his soul.My my my uncle completely different. My
uncle. He was a what dothey call it servant? Uh? Musically
and uh and uh. My dadalways referred to him as meathead. And
(16:00):
he was always in school but turnedout he had a doctorate in psychology.
He also played on a Beatles albumClarinet and something else, and then he
was friends with John Prime and Ididn't really even meet him until I was
fourteen years old and wondered where becauseI was real smart at school and I
(16:22):
had no idea where it came from. My mother didn't finish eighth grade,
my dad didn't finish eleventh grade,and they weren't helping me with homework by
the time I was in sixth grade, and I have no idea where this
came from. You know, Ifelt like an Ostrich in my own house,
you know, because my other twobrothers and sisters skad by. I
mean just like literally where they liftup the curtain a little bit and go
(16:44):
go ahead, let him in thegraduation they're okay, just slide on,
just barely made it, and soit was real hard. But I had
mister Reese who saw the potential andthe drumming, and I never left first
chair from you know, sixth gradeall the way through high school. And
then uh, were you in amarching band? Oh yeah, it was
(17:07):
marching band and we were the firstgroup, uh in high school to come
with a modern drum line. That'swhat we did. So and when I
was in high school in Burlson,we we had the modern drum corps style
and I was a drummer. Ididn't make first chair though, so so
would you play? I played snareand bass Okay, no snaring dries sorry?
(17:29):
Oh yeah, So now they havequads. So what we're saying there
are four drums versus three drums.Uh. My freshman year, I played
uh trytops and then uh and uh. I loved band. I loved Marching
band. Marching Band really saved everythingabout my life, you know. So
(17:49):
when my parents moved away, oneof the reason why I stayed was to
stay in band. And then uhand I was I was on my own
and not the greatest kid to hangout with as far as as far as
the band directors were, because Iwas good, I was talented, and
I was cocky, and I wasalso fifteen and scared, sixteen and scared
(18:14):
right, And then they all plannedon me moving away because I was moving
away my senior year at the endof my junior year, and I moved
to East Texas with my parents.And when I moved there, they had
bought this whole farmhouse from this ladythat had a hundred cats inside the house.
And I spent the entire summer takingdown sheet rock and there was feces
in that inside those walls because theywere all up in the attic and everything
(18:38):
else right. And one day mydad came in and said, hey,
you can either I called your brotherand you can move there with him,
because before that I had lived kindof with him, but also with my
mom's best friend. And he said, you can move there, but don't
call me for any money, oryou can stay here and shut up and
finish out the dude your senior yearhere and I didn't think about it.
I reached some of the soup tothe bed and grabbed his big old blue
(19:00):
suitcase, and back before they hadwheels on them, started throwing my stuff
in there. And I never leftbehind. And when I got to school,
all the band directors they were actuallythe three assistants or the two of
assistants, were pretty excited that Iwasn't going to be there, and then
they were surprised that I was therethe first day, but we had a
(19:21):
new band director and it was lessRoss, and less Ross saw a kid
that was just scared. And ifit wasn't for less Ross, and I
can honestly say this on the podcastin front of y'all, I would have
put a bullet my head. Bythe time I was eighteen years old real
line. Well, I was alone. I was scared. I was alone.
(19:44):
Nothing was coming out your brother atthe time. Oh, it was
a horrible situation. He was alsoa truck driver. And my brother is
seven years older, seven years olderin the day, and he was married,
he had twins and a baby.And so what is so y'all weren't
like super close. We're still we'restill not super close, and which makes
me sad, you know, butwe're only seven years apart, but we
(20:07):
are worlds apart. He was alreadyout of the house and uh, and
I he was my dad's favorite aswell, you know, So it was
not to be all sad about it, but it's part of the stuff.
But that's what I'm saying. Theseteachers, their teachers difference in good and
bad. Uh. I had tomyself that were good or bad? Good,
(20:30):
But let's talk about the good ones. No, I mean, I
was I was just starting high schooland I didn't know what I was going
to do. And my dad talkedme into joining r O. T.
C. And it was a brandnew Air Force detachment and the two instructors,
Colonel Rudiger and Chief Casein uh werebasically my parents through high school,
(20:52):
and they treated me that way.They I mean, and and you know,
the Air Force teaches you about rodderieand leadership and all this other stuff.
I couldn't have gone through high schoolwithout those two guys because I wasn't
the best kind of student. Youknow. I wasn't getting the a's.
I was getting b's and c's ifI was lucky. So they kept me
(21:12):
through high school and I graduated.So I was thankful for that. Well,
and getting that accountability in your lifeprobably was absolutely And I tell people
this all the time. You knowall the time that we talk about that
you raised boys and girls the same. They're not the same boys. I
don't know about girls, okay,because they're hard to figure out. Maybe
(21:33):
you can help me with it,lip it. But with boys, they
need structure and discipline in their life. And you can't sell me on any
other way. And if I seeit, We've talked about this before on
the podcast. If I see akid that can't shake a hand, I
also know that he doesn't have disciplinein his life and he doesn't have structure
in his life. But I hadnone of those so and I knew I
(21:56):
was drinking a whole lot too inmy senior year because I you know,
now, I'm not even a closetdrinker. I'm I can buy it anywhere,
and uh, uh you know,we're I could tell by my yearbook
how much I was drinking. Youhave a look back on your yearbook,
wrote and everybody was like, hey, take it easy on the booze.
(22:17):
Good luck into college, you know, and uh but yeah, and the
other the other person I want togive a shout out to is is uh
miss Woodward. Yeah, that washer name, Uh Woodward Woodward. Uh
she uh freshman year saw my writingand for the first time ever, somebody
said, hey, you can tellthe story. You should really pursue something
(22:37):
in telling stories. And I wroteand I wrote, and she would read
this stuff and stuff that wasn't ineven in her class. I would write
a short story and she would readit and critique it and said, well,
you can do this, and youcan do that and really push me
in the writing. But we don'tdo that for teachers. We don't.
We don't give those awards to teachers, and we and it's a shame that
(23:02):
we spend the whole time making upawards for kids and we don't say,
hey, the teacher that really showeda lot of emphasis is blank. So
on behalf of me and this wonderfulstamp. If you're out there as a
teacher, thank god, thank you, thank you, thank you for shutting
up with the kids, and thankyou for for what you're having to do
(23:23):
with parents these days, because I'veheard the stories, you know, not
not for my daughter. I wewere standing in line at Joe T.
Garcias, and the line the thingthat I talked about in the blankety blanks
where I was talking about all homeworkanswers were turned in with the Wikipedia ad
still attached. So we were standingin line, me and Michelle at Joe
(23:45):
T. Garcias, you know,for our anniversary dinner, and these teachers
were behind us, and I knewthey were teachers because they were really drunk.
Yes, you know you're the teachers. But they were talking and I
told him, I said, bequiet, I'm listening. What's going on
behind And they were talking about thiskid who turned into paper and she put
(24:07):
a zero on it, and themom came up and literally was cussing her
out, and how could you knowthat my kid was cheating? Who do
you think you are thinking, Andshe said I waited for the whole thing
because she's always coming up there todefend this kid, and said, next
time he copies off of Wikipedia,he should probably take off the ads.
(24:30):
She left the ad lord in theturned in paper. Teacher kid better,
lady, Yeah, teach him tocheat, teach him how to do it
right, teach him smart. Sonow we heard from him. Did you
have a teacher there? Oh?Yeah, I had quite a few.
Actually, this is your time togive me time to shine. Golly.
(24:51):
My first grade teacher, Missus Freeley, and then my second grade teacher,
Missus Burkett, loved them, andI've run into them lately and they recognized
me. What. Yeah, it'sfantastic. Yes, like one of them
was just in January. No,stick the camera on me, that's bullshit.
Okay, look at this face.So I didn't like a one first
grade or second grade? Do youlook exactly like it? Oh? No?
(25:14):
And I'm like, oh, doy'all remember me anyway? But I
was. I figured they remember mebecause I was naughty, But they both
said that I was fabulous and Iwas so kind and sweet. I still
don't buy the fact that you keepsaying that you were naughty. I feel
like I was. But anyway,and then my we had teachers, Miss
Carter and Miss Bishop from seventh eighthand they followed us into ninth and they
(25:40):
were roommates, young teachers that hadjust graduated Texas Women's University and lived up
there, and George Strait was comingto play at Texas Women's University. Those
two teachers invited I don't remember howmany of us, eight of us to
go, and we all spent thenight at their apartment afterwards and had school
(26:00):
the next day. You can't dothat. No, we had the best
time. We got on George Strait'sbus, got autographs. It was amazing.
And I'm still friends with her onFacebook. Yeah. So I just
saw her recently too. Yeah,so Ms Bishop. She married our principal,
mister Holloway. So they're they're now, Yeah, now they're retired and
(26:23):
living life and they're young, young, still great. I don't know how
teachers do it, I honestly don't. I the idea if my parents had
to ever come to school on mybehalf, Oh, we'll see. And
then when Colton was growing up,it was like I'd get a phone call
(26:44):
all the time. This is whyI figure out the read part. It's
just naughty, the red jeens.Anyway, I was just, what do
you do now? I didn't wearrose colored glasses when it came to my
kid. I know better because he'sjust naughty. How do you think parents
do that? How do you thinkparents actually do the whole rose colored glasses
of Oh? Not mine? Isee, I know, I knew.
(27:04):
I'm like, what did he do? Now? And he wasn't horror you
know, he was just doing silly. You know. I was like a
lis when my son would not geta call about him, I was absolutely
sure he did he did what hedid. Yeah, now if you told
me he would have punched a teacheror knocked the old person down. No,
my kid's not doing that, buthe's going to do stupid boys.
