  Speaker 1: If you're not following us on social media, you should,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: but you know we post those studio videos every day.

  Speaker 1: One of the comments of man I really enjoyed the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: addition of Jeff G to the lineup is when is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Jeff going to be doing one of the ten questions
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: get to know you segments? And it's so funny that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you set up because we already had it on the books,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna get to know Jeff G. A little
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: bit better. Everybody here on the show has done this.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: When we did it originally is because we had heard
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: about It's this old thing. It's like from ninety seven
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: or something. These researchers, a husband and wife team of psychologists,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: they got together. They published a pap about these experiments
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they did where strangers asked each other sets of questions
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: designed to you know, they could two people, two strangers
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: not knowing anything before, could they just fall in love
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: if they spent the time to answer what they ended
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up being thirty six personal questions, each intended to become
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: increasingly probing, you know, stimulating closeness, intimacy, and ultimately love.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And they tried it with real people and it worked.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: These two complete strangers just fell in love kind of,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know, bypassing the typical you know, flow of a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: conversation or you know, over a certain number of dates,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: like you just sit down, you answer the other person answers,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and you go through the entire thing and you spend
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: time to be thoughtful and really really answer the question. Now,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: we're not going to go through all thirty six. We
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: gave Jeff the same ten questions that each person on
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: this show has has answered the past for the ten
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: questions segment. But Jeff, are you ready?
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: All right? So Jeff, g take take some time here,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: tell us about your life, give us your life story
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and as much detail as you can in that. Well
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it'll give you three minutes. Three minutes, yes, sir.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: All right. So starting off fifty three, married with a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: couple kids, two teenagers. One is in college, one is
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a senior in high school. Parents were together for about
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: three years or so before my dad left my mom
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: for his side piece. Good times. By the way, my
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: mom was nine months pregnant when my dad belt with
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: my little brother. That sucks, so good times there as well.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Raised by a single mom and my grandma, of course,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: we went through all the typical struggles out a single mom.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Does I know, Gina, you know, and what do you know?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: My mom eventually remarried when I was around thirteen or so,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and you know how step dad stuff goes. You know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that was always hard in the beginning, and you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it wasn't wasn't very easy, but he ended up being
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a really good dude, and we got a really great
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: relationship now, and you know, I'm thankful for that. My
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: dad did come back around, which, uh, you know, wasn't
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: easy as well. I think I was like in high
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: school when he came back around, and I really wasn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: here for it, you know, I was kind of like, yeah, great,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: now you show up. But it ended up being cool.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I tried, he tried, and uh he ended up passing
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: away though in like nineteen ninety because of stomach cancer.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Uh he got from Agent Orange and Vietnam. So we
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: had some time together, so it was cool.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: We usually save a bunch of questions till the to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the end, but I will ask. Liked so, like, the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: relationship never quite got there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It was cool. A lot of resentment, you know how
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it goes.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but but did you ever get to a place
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: where it's I.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Think after he passed, I got to that place. It
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: took It took me some time and some you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: some therapy and all that good stuff to kind of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just forgive, you know, so, but it's all good. You know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I think that everything happens for a reason. And he
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: did his best to come back, and he tried, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: so I got to give him credit for that. Let's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: see what else. Speaking of high school around that time,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I was just like every other person in the radio.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I was the jackass and the class clown, made a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: lot of questionable choices and friends sold party favors, if
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Was in a crew that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: was gang adjacent. So you know, I got into real trouble,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Like I got into trouble, but luckily I was able
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to like hold down a job and graduate and all
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that stuff. So I kind of lived like two lives almost,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know, in high school. But it all worked out
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: after high school, I you know, stayed working, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: full time, promoted clubs in Hollywood, kind of still hung
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: around with some questionable people after high school as well.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Well you work in radio. Yeah, you're hanging around questionable
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that seems Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It seems to be the one constant in my Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: if you're going to clubs, yeah, definitely. Yeah. Then so
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I couldn't, you know, kind of stop the hustle, I guess.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And I ended up getting busted scamming credit cards when
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I was like in my very early twenties. Yeah, that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: was you. We would basically we'd basically like lift the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: credit card numbers, and then we had people in a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: bunch of different stores that we go spend other people's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: money there and either flip them, flip them or keep them,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: depending on you got caught or.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I got caught.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got caught. I got caught, and I ended
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: up pleading down to a misdemeanor because no one snitched.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: God bless them for that. And anyways, I ended up
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: cleaning the freeways and prison buses for like a year.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I think it was like thirty seven weekends or something
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: like that. So that taught me the only lesson I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: needed to know. Never got in any trouble after that,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: totally straighten myself out, which you know, again everything happens
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: for a reason, right, So never did any dirt after that,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm kind of proud of it. Trying to think,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: what else where does that bring me? I did write
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a couple of things down. Oh so, I it was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: weird like at that time, you know, I was in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: so much trouble, but at the same time, like my
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: career was starting to go a little bit. So I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: got into radio. I was working at night and then
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: going to the you know, to the couch rands yards
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to you know, do the do my freeway work in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the morning. And then I ended up you know, my
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: first job, I was an intern then kind of you
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: did the thing work, worked my way up from overnight,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of similar stories nights and all that stuff.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Ended up moving to Vegas to do radio for like
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: six months. Station was sold. Someone here in La heard
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I was a free agent, so they hired me, which
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: was cool. I was working in Vegas and in LA
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: at the same time, driving back and forth on the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: weekend and doing all that. That's a commute yeah, that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a commute. Yeah, so, I mean it was cool, but honestly,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I'm very thankful for it, because when you get a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: great opportunity after you've been f and up, you really
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: appreciate the opportunity. And so I just really dedicated myself
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to doing the best I could in radio man, And
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I've been really super lucky in that regard. Produce shows

  Speaker 2: married for twenty years and a month i'll be married.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Not my first marriage though.

  Speaker 1: Really yeah, very much like I have a lot of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: parallel and writing stuff down. We got to know each other.

• 11:49
  Speaker 1: moment in your life.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And I will not disappoint you, Gene with this one.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: So one time, when I first started radio, I did
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: have a girlfriend at the time, right, and she probably
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: lived I don't forty miles away or so, so we
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: didn't see each other a lot. And she actually had
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a kid, so she was very deep into what she
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: was doing and I was just starting radio and club
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: gigs and the whole thing and having a great time.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And yes I was cheating because I was a pos
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So and she was really
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: nice at the time because I had an apartment where
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I lived, and she actually had a bunch of furniture
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and stuff, so she let me you know, have her
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: furniture that she wasn't using that was in storage. So
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: she basically, you know, furnished the apartment. And here I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: am cheating, you know, like an all right on that furniture. Yeah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: on that furniture. So one night I was out working
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: at a club, had the side piece with me, figure
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: to bring her home, let's have a good time. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: when I got there, I opened the door and all
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the furniture was gone. Yeah, the furniture was gone. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: she left me like the nastiest note about being a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: cheater and all that stuff. And so not only not
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: only you know, not only was all my furniture gone,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: but you know, I didn't get any action that night.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: It was horrible. The funny part of it about that, though,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: is that side Piece and I we we kind of
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: went out a little bit after that, so you know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: we remain cool and we still kind of like keep
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: in light contact, and well we still laugh about that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: moment like all the time. She's I can't believe we
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: walked in and there was nothing in there. Bro the fridge,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the couch, like everything, God, the fridge. Well, I mean,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, I don't she must have
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: stopped in. I mean, did she have opts? Like, how
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: does she find out she's at the club? I'm sure
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: this is pre Yeah, I don't know. She must have
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: been stalking it for a while and doing some research.

  Speaker 2: don't put them in post them in anything. You know.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, your business said that, you know, like
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we signed up for this job. You know, we signed
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: up to be you know, out there and commented on
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: our business and thing and things like that. They didn't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: necessarily sign up for that. Now you can tell a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: story from the you know, perspective of a parent.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I share that stuff all the time because.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: That's stuff that you know. People like the There there's comfort,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: comfort in knowing that you know other people go through
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the same kind of stuff as parents shared experience.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah like an idiot.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, I could call them that all day.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, all right. Question number eight, your house
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: containing everything you own catches fire. Now, after saving your
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: loved ones, pats, all that kind of stuff, okay, you
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: have time to safely make one final dash to save
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: any one item. What would it be and why they.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Would be pictures? Pictures of my grandmother and my sister. Now,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: my sister passed away when she was six months old,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and my grandma died during COVID and as I mentioned,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: she raised me. I didn't even get to go to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: her funeral, which completely sucked. But I have a printed
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: picture of me and my grandma that I love, love,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: love with me and my kids. And then I have
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a picture of my sister when she was just a baby.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And they're kind of like afrenda, which is like, you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the offering, like you put that you've all seen Coco,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: so yeah, so it's so it's there with some other
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: stuff from my dad and a bunch of other things.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: So that would be the first thing I grabbed those
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: two pictures because I don't have digital copies of them.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: How old were I wasn't even born yet. Actually, yeah,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: she she was older than me. So, but I've heard,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you know, a ton of stuff from my mom and
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to me, she's like my guardian angel. Yeah, for sure,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: she watches over.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You should get those digitized. Considering that's the answer to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that question.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm lad you can take something else.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Then you could do that, like today.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe Tyler will get a tattoo of them.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: All right. Idea question number nine for Jeff g as
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: we get to know them. If a crystal ball could
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: anything else, what would you want to know?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I want to know where I'm going to retire, like
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: where specifically? Right? I don't think it'll be here in
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the US, like my wife and I have talked about it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: but so I wonder where I'd end up after this
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: is all done.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: But just the top of your mind, you said, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: not in the United States, So.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Where Portugal, Italy, somewhere like that, maybe South America. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: don't know, like I don't. We don't have like a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: set place. All we know is, like I think, we
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: want to just do something different. And I won't go
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: on house Hunters.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Well, house Hunters International both it's the worst one.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well they buy stuff, but it's just not to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: our standards.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, all right. Question number ten ten questions
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: with Jef g. If you kid have anyone in the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: world as a dinner guest, who would it be.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I would pick Adam Sandler. And I know you could
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: say everybody out of everybody, yeah, why not someone that
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: could teach you how to be rich, like Warren Buffett
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: or whatever. But Adam Sandler in my house household is
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the goat because I mean, I think of all of
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: our movie nights and all the things I did with
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: my kids and you know whatever, and we're always watching
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Adam Sandler and all the movies that he did, and
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: it's just the laughs and the sense of humor. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the great part is I wouldn't have to get dressed
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: up for dinner because he and we could talk sports,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: which is awesome, and he just seems like a really
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: good dude, man, and if you you know, again, I
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: would like to have all the advice on how to
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: get rich, but I'd like to laugh more and you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and just thank him for all the great memories that
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: he provided for our family.
• 17:46

  Speaker 5: like this assault charge.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I was getting and then they read me.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember when I I got in that fight

• 19:03
  Speaker 5: someone Yeah, someone kind of said, hey, you know, were
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: either going to come pick you up or you could
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: turn yourself in.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: It was probably the sheriffs at that point.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: So yeah, did you have to turn your head and cough?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I did a fit A little bit of that, Yeah,

  Speaker 1: You see stuff on TV and you're like, is that real?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Did they really do stuff like that?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: That wasn't fun? Yeah?
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: At least I lucked out because my friends videotaped it
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: and they showed that the guy hit me first, So, oh,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: good for you.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I got out of it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So you said you had a bunch of different jobs
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and things, but say, radio hadn't worked out for you,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: what do you think you would have ended up doing.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I always wanted to be a teacher for some teacher,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like I liked I like history. Yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I like history and stuff like that. I could probably
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: be a decent pe coach. Yeah, if they take overweight ones.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I looked overweight, but yeah, probably a teacher. I actually
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: did like some stuff in college. Took some precursor courses
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sea Best Sets is really easy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's why I heard Yeah any hate?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, there's really any other follow up questions for Jeff.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Jeff, like, I know you had a relationship, a loose
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: relationship with Kobe Bryant, and like did that start, like
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: right when he moved to Los Angeles?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Like how did that even happen? No, it happened through
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a great friend of mine, jac who works for who
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: worked for Nike, and we kind of became friends. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: he would do like his shoe drop, so the Kobe
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: five or six or whatever shoes would drop, and they
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: would do like a debut and someone would hoist it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: And that ended up being me for quite a few
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: which was pretty awesome. And then I did some of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: his other events, like his thirty thousand points celebration at
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Venice Beach and just like the nicest human being ever.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: And his family was just the nicest human beings ever.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: And we you know, once when I was covering the team,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: she introduced me to him and we would, you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: have conversations. We talk about everything but basketball, right, We
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: talk about kids and you know, in soccer and everything else.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of how we bonded. And you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: we built a little trust there and had a good
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: working relationship. But he was he was great man, Just
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a great dude of pro sent flowers and my wife
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: had my first baby, like, you know, just a good dude. Man,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: just a really good dude. I miss him a lot.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Man that was tough.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: This has nothing to do with Kobe, but just a
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: behind behind the scenes follow up question. You seem like
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: a total manly man. So when and why and how
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: did your nuclear obsession with hand sanitizer starts? You do
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: it everything the microphone, and I did wanting to know this.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: For a while.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, I haven't noticed that yet.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's really bad. It seems like something you
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: would not have about I have OCD for sure, Like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that's a guarantee self, you know, diagnosed of course, web.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: But what happened was is my mom probably about fourteen
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: years ago, had a kidney transplant, so her kidneys went out,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: and when she started to go through all that stuff,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: she started doing that. And then every time I would
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: go visit her, she'd be like, make sure you do that,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Make sure you do that, make sure you do that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: So I kind of got you know, how doctors do it,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: probably like with audio. Yeah, if you've watched in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: pit or whatever, so I've kind of you know, when
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that happened. I just kept doing it and doing it
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and doing it, doing it and doing it, and I just, yeah,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: your hands are bleeding, I know, so drunk they're actually
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: soft creak, you can hold them in.
• 22:24

• 22:36
  Speaker 2: those now.

  Speaker 4: And do your kids know about your past?
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Some of them, some of it they didn't know. They
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: didn't know I had another wife, so they don't now.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I never had reason to this day they didn't know.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Really, I just never really had a reason.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: To tell them.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: I do have a question though, what we talked about
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: you having a previous wife, When and how did you

  Speaker 1: don't know if we've asked this question to any of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the ten questions people. But before making a telephone call,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: do you ever rehearse what you're going to say and why?
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I bet you Greg does.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if I have to make the call, I will
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: avoid ordering dinners if it requires a phone call, I'll
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: do anything to.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Avoid Before making a telephone call, do you rehearse what
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: you are going to say and why?
