11 Feb 2527m 2s

What would you do with four extra hours a week? In this thought-provoking episode of The Granary, the group dives into the big question. The conversation bounces between generational habits, guilty workaholic tendencies, and how reallocating just a few hours can improve life, business, and even harvest morale. From date nights to fitting cattle for shows, the group shares funny, heartfelt, and relatable takes on balancing life and farming.

Brought to you by Nachurs, this episode invites you to pull up a chair, pour a drink, and think about how you’d spend that elusive time!

00:00:00 So imagine I'm able to do something pretty amazing. I'm able to give you four more hours per week. I just grab four hours out of the sky and I give 'em to you. 00:00:12 You're a farmer. Nobody Else gets 'em But you. What do you do with those four hours? How Do you invest that time? 00:00:18 You work a lot. You often work alone. Do you spend that time working On something else? That's 00:00:23 what we're talking about in this Episode of the Gregory On a farm. The work's never really done. 00:00:29 We're calling the day anyway because my friends from extreme ag coming over. You ready for a conversation 00:00:34 with some real farmers about real issues? The best part. You are invited. Support yourself a drink, grab a snack. 00:00:43 Most importantly, pull up a chair. Welcome to the greenery. Hey Guys. 00:00:55 Alright, I'm going with you Temple. I give you four more hours per week. You got four Hours. Nobody else 00:01:01 has 'em. Just you. What Are you gonna do with those four hours? Just me Or my whole team? 00:01:06 Just you. I'm gonna take a nap. I mean, I'm tired, I'm exhausted at the end of every day, every week. 00:01:16 But I still get up four o'clock in the morning every morning because I honestly, it's not that I can't sleep. 00:01:23 I just look forward to going back to work every day. And I look forward to that morning where I have a few minutes of peace and quiet 00:01:30 where we can we go to the shop. You know, if I'm working on something in the shop, I can work on a little bit. 00:01:36 Or if I got some office work to do, I definitely look forward to that time by myself in the morning before everybody shows up. 00:01:43 So I get those two hours every morning, maybe three hours every morning where I'm by myself. You know, Alexander, he comes in, he'll be there 00:01:51 between 4 45 and five and you know what I mean? So I get 45 minutes to an hour without him there. Not that, that's a good thing, 00:01:59 but maybe to spend a little bit more time with my family would be probably where I would go with what's four hours. 00:02:07 I was joking about taking a nap, but I mean maybe An hour and a half. You're not a very good sleeper. 00:02:12 You wake up at a, you wake up in an alarmingly, alarmingly early timeframe to begin with. Maybe you don't need these four hours. 00:02:19 Tommy, I give you four more hours. Wait a minute, I give you these four more hours. Are you gonna take a nap? I'm not, no. 00:02:27 So I, I'm not a nap guy. But who is saying, I think our football coach was saying this Texas, Texas football coach. 00:02:35 So there's a, there's a proven studies that if you're gonna take a nap, it has to be 30 minutes or less. Or you greater than an hour and a half. Yeah. 00:02:48 That 30 minutes to an hour and a half. If you, if you're in that time period, you might as well just, well, 00:02:54 I'm not gonna take, give up and not do that. Lemme tell you something about taking a nap, By the way, didn't say it was gonna take you 00:02:58 Four hour nap. He said he gets four hours a week. So that could be 30 bucks day. I could, I could put that in. You could. 00:03:03 I could still get three and a half hours. Yeah. Alright. This, this is why I don't take naps. So 00:03:08 let's just go back to that for a minute. So, back when I was a kid, I was young and I'll never forget, I was thinking it was like a, 00:03:14 maybe a 44 40 or something. And we were knifing anhydrous side, just anhydrous. And back to, you know, how things have changed. 00:03:23 You know, at the end of the day, Matt, you said, you know, I've got this time to this time. 00:03:28 You know, this new generation that got that time and when that time's over, they're gone. Where it didn't used to be like that for us. 00:03:34 Well, that's how my dad was. We were knifing. Anhydrous. And I was tired. I mean, I was tired, I was exhausted. 00:03:41 There was a rain coming. And of course, you know, corn's this high and he wanted to make sure all of it got side digressed, all of it. 00:03:48 'cause if we get that rain, it might be this high when we get back and then he is gonna freak out. 00:03:52 So I got so tired, couldn't stand it, and I leaned back in the seat, you know, p prop my feet up on the steering wheel 00:03:58 or on the window, took a nap and I woke up with him beating the s**t out of me. Maybe not beating the s**t outta me. 00:04:05 But it's, it scared me enough that I don't know that I can close my eyes in the daylight anymore. And the first thing he said, you sleep when you die. 00:04:13 And I'll never forget that. You know? And, and that just, that's, I'm not saying he beat work ethic into me, 00:04:20 but it makes you realize that, you know, time is valuable. Work smarter and not harder than those four hours plus 00:04:29 four hours spend. It may, it may be eight hours. Yeah. That we get back. And yes, I would agree with, 00:04:37 I guess priority number one, which it not often is, should be spend more time with your spouse going out, family dinner, 00:04:46 One Children, you know, doing date nights. And that's, that's what it should be. So you would spend four more hours. 00:04:52 If I give you four more hours, I pull 'em outta the sky. I give 'em to you. You're gonna spend them mostly on 00:04:57 family or all on family? I should Now what would you do now? I should. I should. I should. What would you do? Okay. 00:05:06 By the way, you can divide them up 24 hours, divides very evenly. Even with Texas Tech math, it divides very evenly. 00:05:13 It be, it could be four things. Oh, for one hour it could be eight different things for 30 minutes each. 00:05:19 Anyway, go ahead. I should and I will, I will state claim that. Yes I would because I travel a lot. 00:05:29 Um, I mean, during the summer I'm gone. During the winter I'm gone. So yes, it would definitely be, spend more time with 00:05:38 Wife. So the four hours would all be on family and personal, especially spouse because you're busy with your career. 00:05:43 I give you four more hours. I'd grab four hours outta the sky. I give 'em to you. Nobody else has 'em. 00:05:48 Just you. How you gonna use 'em? Oh, I'm gonna overanalyze this. I know, but I'm gonna take those hours 00:05:54 depending on the time of year. Okay. So I'm definitely gonna, you know, during planting season and harvest season, 00:06:02 Is he getting ready to allocate stuff like he does? I'm allocating it. He's allocating this just like he does fertility. I gotta 00:06:09 Reallocate this four hours. That's what he's going, I got to go third. So I got to listen to everything Y are said. 00:06:13 That's such bull crap. So during planning season, the harvest season, I'm probably gonna use 'em on the phone. Okay. You're 00:06:19 Gonna use them, You're gonna use 'em toward the business during the heavy season. 'cause you already feel like you don't have enough 00:06:24 hours to begin with Then. That's right. And then, and then I'm gonna take the rest of those hours and I'm gonna do exactly what they're doing. 00:06:32 You know, I like the nap deal. Uh, when I, I didn't do that When I, when I grew, Kelly told me he takes a nap every day. 00:06:40 I heard that. But he also doesn't do a lot. Well, so when, when I grew up, my dad did. We didn't work on Sundays. So I had Sundays to do whatever. 00:06:47 So you worked six days and you had that seventh day to do whatever you want to do. Yeah. So I got plenty of nontraditional. Very, very, yes. 00:06:53 Especially in the Bible belt. So I got to take a nap on Sundays when I was growing up. When I was young, I had Sundays. 00:07:00 So I took a nap and I spent the rest of time with my family. In today's world, I'm guilty of, you know, 00:07:05 Sundays if we're planting or harvesting, you know, I'm probably at the farm. The whole crew's at the farm. That's true. 00:07:11 Uh, but I would allocate those at different times just like I do stuff on my farm. Alright, let's 00:07:16 Be honest. All right. There's about four weeks and four weeks where it's really heavy. And I'm not being mean, and I'm not judging. 00:07:21 But you're talking, there's two months. I got 10. The other 10, what are you Gonna do with the other 10 months of four 00:07:28 hours a week that you got? Ain't nobody else's Got it. A hundred percent family, Family time. Mm-hmm. 00:07:32 Because we lack on that as farmers anyway. And probably Tommy does too. I'm not gonna say Mister Tommy does too, 00:07:39 because every time I call him, he's somewhere besides home. He's never at home. So I think in the ag industry 00:07:48 it's a little different than other industries. Maybe it maybe not be, I don't know. I've never been in another industry. May 00:07:52 Maybe you need to re maybe we all need to reallocate our time and take, you know, our kids. Now we're, let's just say 00:08:00 that we're all empty nesters now at this time of our life. 'cause we are you're not quite, but you, 00:08:04 I'm not quite, I'm I'm clue. He is. He's pretty much, we're not quite, But maybe we would need to reallocate 00:08:11 and we take two hours and we add to our business, take the other two hours, and we start redeveloping our relationship with our wife. 00:08:18 You know what I mean? That's gonna make our entire family better. You know, I told you I'm 00:08:21 starting to go out on these date nights. I've changed. And, and, and to be honest with you, it's been great for us. 00:08:27 I told you like I get off the combine or get off the tractor after dark and I don't keep running. 00:08:33 And then I've drove to Ocean City and spent the night with my wife down there. I've done a bunch of different things 00:08:39 that I've never done by before. And it has completely changed our life where we help each other. 00:08:45 And when, when I say completely changed, it's, it's gone so far that it, it's absolutely changed 00:08:52 the harvest crew, everybody else. Because, I don't know, maybe I'm happier. Maybe she's happier. Maybe it's just overall morale. 00:09:02 And overall morale means a lot when you get to a stressful situation when you're in harvest. The crew got better, the operation got better 00:09:10 and the mood got better because of you rally reallocating time is what I just heard. That's 00:09:18 Exactly right. Are you saying things flow downhill? Things flow downhill, Buddy. Well, see I'm 00:09:22 opposite of that. So, you know, so, you know, my wife's my best friend. I I'm not saying that you're in, I'm just saying that, 00:09:28 that my wife's my best friend, but she grew up straight up ag So there's been times when we've had hurricanes. 00:09:35 When we, when we know a hurricane is coming in the Gulf, we're gonna be midnight to two o'clock every night. Yeah. 00:09:40 But that's, that's, that's reallocated. I would to Where you can. Well I, well I would get to a point at midnight 00:09:44 where I'd be like, I remember one time we were weighing trucks and she was in there helping me and I said, man, I'm about ready to shut everybody down. 00:09:51 I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I'm spent. She's like, it's a hurricane coming brother. He ain't shutting down. You know, we're gonna run 00:09:58 to two like we've been doing all week. So everybody, everybody's traditionally, Her and my dad would get along real good. 00:10:03 Traditionally, her and your dad's a lot alike. Yeah. Traditionally, sometimes I think I'm married to a man, but in all honesty, sometimes 00:10:09 Traditionally, especially the industry where, and you think it's always the farmer and then historically the man comes 00:10:16 to your mind that's hardworking. Sherry Kay's a farmer. And by God it's go time. It's go time. Yeah. I mean to the point, 00:10:22 sometimes she would redirect me. Yeah. You know, when I'd get to lazy ass and wanna do something different. Should 00:10:27 Tell what she tell you. Sleep when you die. She hasn't told me that yet. But I've felt that sometimes honestly, 00:10:33 We'll throw, we'll throw it out there. You know, you're in a different role. I'm not a farm earth. You're not a farm. We work in the industry, been a farmer. 00:10:42 We get these gotta farmers, they get told about how hard they were. And obviously that hurricane's coming 00:10:49 and there's crop to get in. There's also times when there's not really that much of a bump. You and I don't get that credit. 00:10:55 There's gonna be people listening to this and say, well, farmer needs four more hours. 'cause he works so much they, you don't. 00:11:01 And I kind of call b******t on that. 'cause you didn't get to where you are with your career by not putting in a lot of smart and hard work 00:11:10 To the detriment of, you know, my family saw it. I mean, I did, we talked earlier about ball games. I mean, there's ball games I missed, 00:11:19 there's concerts I missed. But, uh, you don't get to where you're today without Hard work. 00:11:27 You guys have been good. And I made that point at one of our dinners that work is work. It's different. It's not digging ditches. It's not bailing. 00:11:34 Hey, I've done those things. Being on a stage doesn't look like work until they tell you you're on stage next. 00:11:41 Yeah. It starts to look like work. Work is different. If I got four more hours, I wouldn't spend it working. But when you asked the question, you went to work 00:11:52 and reapportioned it some of the time, then you went to family, straight to family. You went the family, you went the family. 00:11:59 Does it make you think that now we're all old enough and reflective enough that what we're really saying is we've sacrificed some family 00:12:07 time because of our work Ethic? A hundred percent have, and, and, and temple and I have talked about this a lot of times, you know, I, 00:12:15 and I've told him he works harder than I work. Mm. So he will spend, when I'm going somewhere with my wife and doing something, when it's not 00:12:24 that important to be at the farm. He's paying a quick hitch. Yeah. You know, he's doing something that 00:12:29 probably he shouldn't be doing. And I've actually told him that. He's yelled at me about face to face. Like 00:12:34 Yelled at me for, You need to quit what you're doing, wife. You need to carry your ass 00:12:37 to the beach while you walk. Wife, go See your kids and do all that. It's a, it's a balance. 00:12:40 It's a hundred percent balance to make everyone happy. And it don't matter if you're doing what you're doing, you're doing or he's doing or I'm doing. 00:12:48 You have to balance the dear. But the, you have to balance your job and your family and make it all worth at one time. You're 00:12:55 Pretty good at that. I'll give you credit for that. And you, and you kinda see it from the outside looking in. I mean, how many times have we had that argument? 00:13:02 And I told you, I'm like, I'm not doing it. And he yelled at me, he was like, you're going to do it. And I did it and it made things better. 00:13:08 And it starts to make you realize how much time that you lost. And you can't make up lost time. 00:13:14 So you gotta be careful of that. So, you know, Like you said, hours don't come back. You know, uh, we're, we're gonna be, 00:13:20 we're gonna be gone someday. Hours don't come back. They're burned. They're Burned. But in a, in 00:13:26 a farming situation. And so I ch I pick my times, I pick my bottles. Sure. So when we're planting or harvesting, I'm not available. 00:13:35 We, we got this, we got this conversation. Me and him got an Argument today. Today he's 00:13:40 still harvesting and I'm done. If I was still harvesting, I'm probably wouldn't be here today. 00:13:43 Yeah. He's here. So he's, he's learned that. But I don't take a summer vacation. I take a winter vacation because that's when it's slower 00:13:51 and I'll take my whole family. It costs more money. Yeah. Because we're gonna have to go somewhere where it's warm, 00:13:55 which is definitely not in the United States most of the time. Yeah. But you just gotta pick your battles to win the war. 00:14:01 That's, that's the way I've always looked at It. Go Ahead. Two things I wanna say. So I grew up in a farming family. 00:14:10 We always took summer vacation. 'cause it, we were dealing with corn and milo and hay. And Now you've ruined that for all the farmers 00:14:20 because you say don't go to the beach, stay there and chase your crop. So I You single handed I live in the fertilizer 00:14:27 Out. Yeah. I live in Texas and we'd always go to hotter environment, which would be South Texas or Florida to the beach. 00:14:35 So I had a self-fulfilling prophecy happen not too long ago. Is that when your, when one of your kids says, 00:14:46 I understand what you did now because of What I have to do now Yeah. In work. Exactly. And that that'll kill 00:14:55 You. You wanna War. Well it's, it's the old, I mean from Harry Chapin's song that makes people baw about cats and the cradle on down. 00:15:02 There's that thing of when you're coming home, dad, well, dad wasn't a bad guy. 00:15:08 He was doing that because he was a good guy supporting the family. And when you ask this question, I give you four more hours. 00:15:16 You kind of said work, but situationally most of you went to family. Mm-hmm. Because you, we have work ethics 00:15:23 and that's, that's intrinsic to agriculture. We want to get the, the crop in. We get the crop out and want to do this, do 00:15:29 This. I'm gonna say the majority of the farmers are in ag industry, which y'all are. If you ask them what's, 00:15:36 what's one thing they'd feel most guilty about? It would be not spending time with their family. Yeah. At the end of their life when it's all over. 00:15:43 If, if the good Lord said, Hey, what, what did you, you know, what was your biggest mistake? It would be not spending time 00:15:50 With him. You know, last year would kind of, I'm, I'm a backup timing. Um, and this, and it does, it hurts you. 00:15:58 Oh it does it get to you. Hey, I am choked up now. But last year, you know, my daughter Madeline, she shows and she shows nice. 00:16:05 Like, and she shows all across this country. She showed probably and The person watching this doesn't our beef 00:16:11 showing, she's got show Cattle. She got Cow, she show steers, et cetera. So she goes And she does very well competition. 00:16:16 She's got a bunch of guys. And she's made tremendous relationships with guys just like we have in the ag industry, you know, 00:16:23 with what we were doing out on the gros Gonna getting married to a show Jock. I hope not. Sorry. Cigarette drinks, beer tight 00:16:31 Wranglers. You know what I mean? Yeah. So 00:16:33.695 --> 00:16:33.925 She, She hit me, um, with something last year 00:16:38 and she's like, dad, I want you to go to one show with me and I need you this time 00:16:43 because I always help her fit cattle and stuff. And she goes, I need you. And I'm like, Myline, you'll be all right. 00:16:47 You got all these other people. And she goes, you know, I've been to like 15 major shows this year and you haven't made one of them 00:16:54 Steer up. And you asked the question, I posed this when I wrote a business book because, uh, and it was geared to small 00:17:05 or self-employed people, which you both are you not so much that we always think our time, 00:17:12 we gotta maximize our time for our money. And then if I gave you four more hours, and usually when you ask most people 00:17:18 the answer when they say, okay, you gimme four more hours, I'm gonna do this. It's the thing that they know 00:17:26 or even feel guilty that they're not doing. That's what I, uh, Reading to better my career. Um, spending more time with my family. 00:17:36 It's generally those things that they feel they're not obligating enough. And that's probably where we got here. 00:17:44 And it doesn't mean that you're mad, but it actually, I think it's a good reflective moment to look at and say, 00:17:50 maybe I should just, I have those flowers. I can't, I ain't gonna pull 'em outta the sky. Damon's question was a, you know, 00:17:57 you laughed when I asked the question, but now it makes you think I can't pull 'em outta the sky. But I got those four hours. 00:18:03 Well that's what I was saying in an earlier episode with the next generation lane. Lane has figured out how 00:18:10 to take those four hours that I couldn't take. I didn't feel like I could take because my dad didn't take 'em. 00:18:16 Same thing with you. You know, probably the same thing with you. We didn't feel like as these generations, you know, get 00:18:23 further along, I think there's more importance to family than there is to work. You know, that's one, you know 00:18:30 what we talked about in last year. That's, I don't dunno if anybody at this table's gonna fault that. Yeah. Are you? No. Are you? No I 00:18:36 Are you. No, no. You can't. I mean, Dad always said, he's like, don't ever go through life asking yourself what if, you know, 00:18:46 it doesn't matter what that applies to. What if you took those extra four hours and you reallocated 'em? 00:18:51 You don't need it. It's not a gift from God. You're not giving it. You can do it yourself. You can take those four hours 00:18:57 and you can reallocate 'em somewhere in your life. What if you did that? What if I will tell you that I've started, as I've gotten older 00:19:05 and Temple knows this, I work less in the last, now I've got lane that's taken over and he is starting to, you know, do the things I've done. 00:19:14 But I sometimes, but I feel guilty. So if I take off an hour early Yeah. From the other guys to go out, deal with my wife, 00:19:21 make sure up early, then I feel stupid because I'm not there. So there's a guilt factor that comes along with doing 00:19:28 that, if that makes sense. I mean, I've never been able to, we've bought and renovated houses of robberies 00:19:35 and if there's a workman out there, I feel like I have to be out there. Yeah. I, and, and, 00:19:39 and my wife says, you know, most people would just sit and watch TV while they're working. Say, well that ain't me. So it's that same thing. 00:19:47 I think that we s we wonder about the four hours because we're, we think we should be working and then we actually have this, 00:19:55 You know how many times I've been told in my life, not by, by several people. Well you write their check, you can do what you want to. 00:20:02 Mm-hmm. But that wasn't the way I was raised. No. If they're there, I'm there. And that's not completely the topic. 00:20:08 Back to the hours thing, we have the four, well first off, we can't magically create four. 00:20:12 Right. So we got 'em and I'd love to have 'em now. And you're smarter about it as you get older than you were probably 00:20:21 when you were younger, but maybe not. There's a lot of 25 year olds that are p*****g away their four hours. 00:20:25 What you need to ask us is what would our dads do with four hours? What would your dad do if four while, uh, 00:20:30 He would um, go on another cruise or he would, he would watch a few more episodes of Rifleman. 00:20:41 And That's as a retired man. Yes. As a younger man. No, when he was our age truth. Oh, he'd be out in the field. Yeah, 00:20:49 Exactly. That's what I'm saying. That's The way I grew up 85 Years old and I gave him his four more hours when I was 00:20:54 just at your farm last month. And he was in the field. He'd work man. He'd work more. They all work 00:20:58 More. My dad, I will tell him to have, he Got older work more when he got Older. He spent 00:21:03 a lot more time with mom than he used to. Yeah. I would, my dad, I would Agree. He, he did do That. It seems like our 00:21:09 age, as you get older and you're getting older, so you're starting to change. You're 51 3 53. So you're two, 00:21:16 He gave you two extra Years, almost three years younger than me. And you're Not that much better. You're starting 00:21:20 To do what I've done. You know, you tell me how you Laugh that off. You might, you make fun of me a lot 00:21:25 because you're like, well you do this or that. Three years ago you didn't know me as weak. No. You were just Like me. You know? 00:21:32 And so as you get older you realize there's more things important than if you get another 20 or 30 acres planted outta a day. 00:21:40 Yeah. A hundred acres. And by the way, every Person that gets to a certain age says, you know, I might be dying. 00:21:45 And the one thing I never wish is that I'd worked more and all that. We get that. But you know, it's hard to tell a young person, 00:21:50 you go and tell Alexandria's 25, you go and tell Elaine who's 30, you go tell your, I don't know, whichever kid of yours is about that age. 00:21:57 If they're driven, they don't think about that four hour. I think it takes a certain amount of reflection 00:22:04 and experience to get to where you even contemplate the four hours. Is that an accurate statement? 00:22:09 I think so. My parents have, um, they have made better use of their time than say when I was growing up. 00:22:21 Yeah. Because they, they never, we'd go, if we could afford it, we'd go on a summer vacation. But now say over the last 20 years, 00:22:34 they, they spend more time together. Yeah. Whether it's at home, whether it's cruises or going different places. 00:22:42 So they've, they've made better use of their time. Are You, as they got older. As they got older. 'cause they realize time is fleeting 00:22:49 and they only got so much outta it. Your dad apparently just wants to work. Are you gonna do that when you're 85? 00:22:54 Are you gonna want four more hours to work? It looks like you're already at age 53 reversing The, you start to realize somewhere along the line 00:23:01 the mold has to be broken. And I'm not saying he's got a bad mold. That's cool. 'cause the man's got a badass mold. Yeah. 00:23:06 Here's the problem. You have to break the mold because you lead by example. Yeah. And I don't want my kids to go through what I've been 00:23:13 through and what he's been through. So if you break the mold and show 'em that quality of life can be shown right here. 00:23:20 And if I can show you quality of life, things get a lot better in your business, your career, everything else, it all follows, flows 00:23:26 Down then. So what we're not going to, you know, these four hours aren't magically gonna appear. But I guarantee you everybody at this table can say how, 00:23:36 how much time is wasted in a week? It would be more than more than four hours. How many? And Look on your 00:23:43 phone, it'll tell you how many Hours you spend on social media. I know that's 00:23:48 Embarrassing. But you think about our lives and, and, and our life here is very short Yeah. 00:23:54 Compared to hopefully where we're going next. But if we, if I die today, there's gonna be a lot of people sad and they're gonna roll along there 00:24:02 and they're gonna be sad for a week, maybe 10 days. And then somebody's going to take whatever farm ground line can't farm 00:24:08 and somebody's gonna do this. And, and, and in two or three months, I'm probably not even gonna be remembered other than my direct family. 00:24:17 Yeah. So we need to be looking more at legacy. Well, a legacy than we do spend time is a legacy. Yeah. Because we think we're really important 00:24:25 and we're really like working and making this work. And in the scheme of things, six months later, yeah, I, you know, everybody's gonna be gone. 00:24:33 The funeral's gonna be over and About a year after, nobody remembers whether you spend that four hours with your wife 00:24:40 or you spend that four hours on that Truck. But your family will, your 00:24:42 Family will. But it's something I've never done here. Um, I'm gonna ask myself the question 'cause you guys didn't, I'd probably read a little bit more. 00:24:50 And what's interesting is I already read a lot. I read more than most anybody, um, because most people don't read. 00:24:56 And I also, I've gotten better also on the four hour thing because I started realizing, you know, 00:25:02 you've worked since you were eight when they put them bottles for in, in your hands and wanting, you had to go out there 00:25:08 and learn the make, make, uh, milk and feed them cans. I started getting better about the four hour thing myself, realizing I got, I got them. 00:25:16 And, and you know what? I've been putting in the hours since I was an 8-year-old kid. I'm gonna start doing 'em. So I 00:25:22 think it's important to do that. And I still ask myself the question if I already got the four hours because no, we're not gonna magically appear. 00:25:27 Like you say, where are you gonna put 'em? And I've been thinking about that a lot. I've been thinking about this for six years probably. 00:25:35 I thought he was gonna say therapy. Well, there's always zoom. We probably all need that. 00:25:42 All right. So we asked the question, if I gave you four more hours per week, where would you put it? 00:25:46 You know, we can talk about it being a point in life thing, but it's a point in everybody's life thing. 00:25:51 It doesn't matter what age you are. If I gave you four more hours, where would you utilize those hours? 00:25:54 Invest those hours. 'cause as we already heard from our friend Temple, you know, time is limited for all of us. 00:26:01 We hope you enjoy these kinds of conversations. That's why we're here at the Grainery.
