I went to a park and left inspired and gassy let’s talk about that good mythical morning thanks for joining us today thanks for making us part of your daily routine it brightens our day to know that we brighten your day it’s like a like a match lighting a flame which then gets out of control you have to stop so you have to stop it out before your personal belongings catch it’s a good analogy I’ll figure out what it means later all right I have a family you have a family there are weekends we hang out with our families on the weekend here in California gotta be dads better dad Evers you try to come up with a winning idea for what to do as a family on the weekend and you call it that when kids I have a winning idea that’s right they actually they kind of insane dad what’s your winning idea today for this weekend and this was a couple weekends ago and you know cuz Sunday afternoon and I said and I came where the day before I said listen guys we’re gonna go to the Will Rogers Historic Park over there in Pacific Palisades I’ve heard about this place we go there but I haven’t been in this park so I’m interested to hear the Depot I’m gonna tell you all about it tell me all about it riveting tell us all about it and link in the description to directions to get there so we go to Will Rogers Historic Park and the first thing you have to do because this is California you have to pay at least $10 just to go through the threshold so twelve dollars and I’m like oh no no what do I get for this twelve dollars and the Ranger says you get access to everything you get a tour a free tour of the homestead it’s not really a homestead it’s just like a vacation home that Will Rogers head and they’re playing polo right now hello what I’m interested in polo but can I pause and kind of clarify one thing that and probably nobody knows who this guy Will Rogers is well that’s what I’m gonna get to I am going to tell you all about him because that’s what was life-changing for me I’m not joking about that part so we get there and literally they’re playing polo we they’re announcing and they’re like it’s Malibu versus the Pacific Palisades polo match I mean they’re like two rich neighborhoods I’m like this is as bougie as you can get you know i-i’ve got you never too familiar with the term bougie I don’t know how to answer that because it make me cool if I know what it is because I can act like I know what it means okay this is like high-class like rich people riding on horseback yeah hitting golf balls with a statment Malibu versus the Palisades I mean this is like it’s pretentious as you can possibly she’s rich but I’m loving every minute of it because I’ve never seen a polo match the field is 300 yards long really yes the horses are huge I mean that’s three football fields I mean you can barely see the horses but the horses so they’re big big horses they’re running into each other the hand-eye coordination kids are in credit they’re loving it I’m a great dad winning idea then I’m like kids the tour of the home is starting and they’re like not really gonna be into that but I’m like but this is what we’re going to learn about this great man Will Rogers that was so great that he had a park where there’s polo happening mm-hmm so we get there and first of all everyone on the tour is either is about to die I’m just gonna be I’m just gonna be honest with it I just learned they’re elderly folks they’re all in hover around 101 lady would just wasn’t a thing and then she had to get out and she had to sit down a lot I mean nothing is old people I love I’m gonna be one you know this fire today I aspire to be an old person uh but we clearly we were misfits my and my wife and I were clear you know by far the youngest adults there but then we had these children and everyone was kind of looking at the children like come on now and what a stupid I can’t bring a kitchen this non-winning idea of him for that dad and the tour guy who is also very old to her guy the to a guy who was a to also a tour guide yeah I was giving you his gender the same guy it was like okay I’ll be your tour guide first of all no backpacks who’s the only guy that’s got a backpack on the winner winning dad the winning dad has to take his backpack off okay what you think I’m gonna steal like an heirloom from the Will Rogers home well you could can’t they might camp in there okay so I said that down outside you know it’s the Palisades nobody’s gonna steal anything and so then I and then there he’s like oh and no please no walking on the original Navajo rugs Navajo rug remember that song you couldn’t walk on the Navajo rugs and he says and I know that’s exactly where the kids will want to go but yeah and then I’m the only one with kids in a backpack stink eye to the guy right yeah it’s like keep your hands you know keep her children in hand son and and he says make sure the kids stay on the rubber mats that keep you off of the Navajo rugs and the exquisite hardwoods and all these things I’m like I got it buddy I go in there he begins to talk about Will Rogers and the kids immediately are just like looking at right of that rug they’ve been told not to get on of course it looks so weird is walkable sticking his foot out towards it and like to commence on you know they’re all looking at then he begins to tell talk about Will Rogers and this is where the life transformation began to take place for you for me personally I quit watching the kids they were run all over the rug I just completely just lost my place in life here’s the deal Will Rogers you know him as the guy who was in the cowboy movies back in the old days like a Roper right like there’s no roping tricks he was so much more than that link this guy was a Roper in Oklahoma he was doing this thing and then he got involved in this vaudeville act you know like the traveling vaudeville acts that I used to do and what happened is as a stage act he would he was funny and he would say funny things and he had this like political commentary that he would be doing at the same time and everyone was like you got to come see this Will Rogers guy perform he became really popular and then he was at Madison Square Garden one time and a steer got loose and this tears running all over the place going up into the crowd what was it a rodeo I don’t know what it was it was a place where there was a steer that’s a bowl that has been him and so the bull is running around going he still got enough gusto to get up into the crowd he’s like beginning to trample people and real rogers comes out and ropes him in front of everyone ropes this thing gets into the New York Times and all these papers immediately becomes a movie star starts going around he be he he he be has a syndicated newspaper called about the two guys in the steer suit don’t they get any credit it was a real steers publicity not real here this guy becomes a wild movie star all through the depression gets this newspaper column where he’s writing about the struggles of the common man he becomes a voice for the common man he means traveling all across the world he becomes a friend to all these dignitaries and the presidents at the time and people started coming to this house that he built in the Palisades which is the one that we were in coming and playing polo with him Walt Disney played polo with him all the time and fell off his horse so many times that he had his spine started to get arthritic and he became known as the meanest man in Hollywood I learned all this stuff on the tour and it all starts because if you know how to use a rope good things happen but what I’m thinking is that this guy’s inspirational I started thinking about my life and I’m like I sit around and watch reality television like Amish mafia I watch a television show that’s about Amish people who are like in a gang and I spend time doing this my life is wasting and this guy’s out there roping and writing and being in movies and doing other stuff that’s speaking for on behalf of the common man but what about gas what are you talking about gas the last thing I learned about roll Rodgers is that he used to sit out on his porch and cook beans and eat him all day long he would just sit out there and cook these beans and this little I saw in this little kettle kettle really and they said you know what I was like you know what I like beans I’m a lot like this guy maybe I can’t rope I don’t know anything about maybe but I really like beans without even prompting the day after we got back my wife made a meal and she had a side of beans I started eating those beans and I said to myself I really like beans like really like beans I had no idea how much I actually liked beans my point of application here is that I’m going to be one step closer to being like Will Rogers and I’m going to really get into beans I bet you there’s a bean of the Month Club and I actually found something it’s called beans for a year I’m gonna get six pounds of beans delivered to me every quarter for a full year and I’m gonna begin cooking them at my house you can come over we’ll have beans together never have I ever been in a more favourable moment otally serious about this I I feel inspired and I feel like oh yeah me too but I feel like if we start with the easy things like eating beans together then then other things like being a person that can change the world will come later you know what time it is I’m happy from Washington State let’s turn the wheel of mythicality you’re not inspired oh I’m I’m happy for you when they put it that way when these beans come are you gonna eat him with me I like I like certain beans I like peas a lot a pea is not a bean you’re on the Titanic I’ll be Rose you be jack how does she hold her arms like that Oh dick hey that fiction you’ve painted we middle king of the world that’s actually I feel like a king of the world I’ll talk about that picture that we made together yes a little awkward I don’t want it I don’t want to talk about that so indecent just say king of the world or is that me am I supposed to say king of the world not in the queen of the world let’s talk some more about that uh Amish mafia thing I’m not the Amish I love the Amish and meet Amish mafia I do not like the Amish mafia because if you’re gonna be Amish the Amish if you’re gonna eat beans get beans for a year
