I have nothing to talk about today except random stuff, and the first one of those random things that I'm going to talk about is, why in the hell did I have five kids? I swear to God, ah, oh well, it's, it's, it's, it's... Good morning, American. It's Friday.
Man, this is a daily grateful, and I am grateful for new experiences, and one of the new experiences I have this evening is that I ordered Marco's Pizza. I had never had Marco's Pizza before, so I ordered Marco's Pizza, and my daughter told me that it was really, really good, and the crust was really, really good, so when I called and I, to order the Marco's Pizza, I was very nice and ladies on the phone, she's very pleasant, and I said, my daughter tells me that you guys have the best pizza in the crustace, exceptional, she's, well, it does. I need to tell you that my daughter only lies 70% of the time, and she said, well, she's not lying this time. I said, that's what they always say.
My daughter, who I love very dearly, I have a question for you. Are you one of those five AM people? Are you one of those, you know, Zig Ziglar, Robert Schuller, all these motivational people from my past? They always say, you need to join the five AM club.
In other words, get up at four thirty five o'clock. I know people who get up at four o'clock in the morning and they get out and they walk and they exercise and they, you know, motivate themselves and they write and they, you know, they meditate. No, I'm not one of those people. I'm not a six AM person.
I'm not a seven AM person. I mean, I used to, I used to have to, you know, it was a rule I had to, but then it got to a part in my life where I didn't have to, so I didn't, well, tomorrow morning, you're listening to the Friday show, which is recorded on Thursday night. So tomorrow morning, I have to be at my daughter's house, which is less than a mile from here, and I have to be there because she has to go to court. Oh, my goodness.
Did I say something personal? My daughter's going to court in the morning and I have to be there and hang out with three of my grandchildren. While she's going for it. Why is she going to court?
Oh, well, I'm not going to tell you, but if you really want to know, you go to her podcast and you'll find out because Sandra explains it all or drenched in drama podcast, either one of those two you'll find out why she's going to court and but anyway, it's kind of funny. But anyhow, she's going to, I talked to her tonight and I told her how much I love her. She's my daughter. She gives me beautiful grandchildren and then I said, but you know, I, you need to call me at 6 30 in the morning to wake me up and she said, yes, I said, you know what I'm going to do to you at 6 30 in the morning?
She said, what? I said, I'm going to hate you like poison. I'm going to ask for weasels to rip your flesh and she's like laughing at me. She's up early in the morning every day because she's a mom.
She's got little kids when I was a dad and little kids. I got up early in the morning. I used to be in my office in Tarpon Springs, which was 11 miles from my house. I would get up and I would be in my office at 7 a.m.
every morning. The office didn't open until eight, but I went in to get the whole day organized because we went to law and care and pest control business and I had to get everything ready for everybody that was coming in and I'll get all of this done and just do all of that and then have like 20 minutes of sitting there with my headphones on, listening to the all the hits. That's what I'm doing. Put on my headphones and a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones there.
And I did not have, you know, great stereo equipment then at the office, but I had a not bad boom box that had things on it. And I didn't, but I put the headphones on to my Sennheiser headphones in and I would sit there in the darkness in the middle office for 20 minutes and I would listen to the hits and what are the hits you say? Well, the hits you say are what I felt like listening to. By the way, I do it when I'm done recording the podcast because now I go on that interweb thing and I can just pull up any music I want.
And I run it through my, my Roadcaster Pro mixer and then it goes into, what am I wearing? I'm wearing my audio, technical headphones right now, which sound absolutely delightful. And I listen to the hits, but I actually did that while I was eating my pizza tonight. I had the headphones on and I was listening to Barry White, one of voice, anyway, that was the day I, but tomorrow morning it's going to be early and I'm going to get up and I'm going to go over there and I'm going to have to be delightful for my grandchildren.
She's not sending them to school tomorrow because it would just be too much of a mess because, you know, she takes two of them to school, one walks to school and she can't take the other two to school and neither can I, because I've never taken them to school and you have to be on a lit, I don't know. But anyway, so I'm going to have at least two of the kids home and I'm just going to bet my oldest grandson is going to want to stay home as well, so I will have three of the kids. So there is that and that, and we will have fun. My autistic can be granddaughter who has me totally wrapped around her finger will have me getting her whatever she wants, I'll wait on her like, you know, hand and foot and she will just, you know, be the way and if she gets upset about something, she will let me know and I will have to fix it.
But that's, you know, then I get to see what happens with my darling daughter's court date. If you want to know, listen to her podcast because I'm sure it'll all come out in the end. Or like, if you ever read New York Magazine, she was featured in there. If you've ever buzzfeed, she was featured in there.
She's been featured in all kinds of stuff, all kinds of stuff for her interesting turn of events that happened. So for the past couple of years, a very interesting turn of events. And by the way, my daughter can get away with anything. I don't know why.
I have no idea why when she learned how to drive, I, she was driving down a major road up there and there was a truck in front of her and she decided to get around the truck. So she goes into the right lane, flies around the right lane to get ahead of the truck, rear ends this woman in a minivan, right? She rear ends this woman in a minivan. The next thing you know, she had a cell phone.
So she's calling and I had to go rescue, right? So we go up there, I go up there to rescue her and this happens, by the way, and it's her fault. And this lady totally screwed, totally destroyed the car that I had given her and totally messed up the van. And she's just sitting there, the tears are coming out of her, her mouth and there was a female police officer who was investigating it by the time I got there.
And by the way, here's another fun fact. This happened right in front of a strip club. I'm so grateful for this wonderful, interesting life I've had. So anyway, I go and the police officer lady is just really nice and she goes, Mr.
Crows, Cassandra is quite upset. I said, yes, she is. And I'm singing it back. She is probably putting on an act.
And so there's just no way I can charge her for this reinforcing her negative behavior. I said, okay. So anyway, they had to come and tow her car away and so she gets into my car and run a very busy highway. So we pull into the parking lot of the strip club and it's about, I don't know, seven o'clock at night.
It's just starting to get dark. And we pull into the back parking lot to turn around to come get back on the main road as we turn around and we go, I don't go to strip clubs. Okay. I've never quite understood why people do.
But I've never, I never go to strip clubs and we go around and who's out back of the strip clubs? Well, a bunch of strippers, like five or six of the strippers are all back and they're not wearing an awful lot of clothing and they're all back, they're smoking cigarettes. And there was enough light. I guess strip clubs have very dim lights so you can't really see what, anyway, they were in the light and Cassie and I looked at them and I looked at Cassie and she looked at me and we both started laughing uncontrollably.
I am so grateful for that wonderful memory. And then we laughed and I looked at her, I said, Cassandra, she goes, yes, dad. I said, never work on a strip club. She goes, you got it.
But that was our day. Anyway, I'm hoping that you are having a nice Friday today because I certainly am going to have a wonderful morning with my grandkids and it's going to be great. And then I get to hear all the stories of my darling daughter's court date. And you get to hear them too.
If you tune into her podcast, probably not for a week or so. But you know, unless of course things don't go well for her there. But things always go well for her. She can get away with anything.
I thought you'd need to rob banks. No, I'm only kidding. But she can get away with it. She would love her dearly.
Beautiful daughter. Have a great weekend and we will see you next week. I am so grateful that you listened to this podcast. I truly am.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
