Journalists for major news organizations joining the terror attack against Israel. Newscasters that refuse to call Hamas terrorists. Campus lefties insisting the torturers, rapists and murderers are the real victims. All of this and more are how the story westerners hear about the Israel-Hamas war is being distorted to vilify the Jewish state and benefit Hamas, as Israeli-based journalist Caroline Glick discusses with Brian this week. She explains how the number of civilian war casualties publicized by Hamas are inflated, and how politicians and journalists malign Israeli soldiers. While average westerners remain on the side of Israel, she says, elites in media and academia are working overtime to manufacture hatred against it.

The Maiellarolypse is here! This week Matt returns to the podcast as we discuss his new film Pastacolypse, getting into all the saucy details. The noodle-themed comedy/action/horror film you've been craving, this heaping dish of badassery is available for FREE on Tubi. You may be wondering how it's pastable to give a film of this caliber away for free, and the answer is simple: BIG GLUTEN. That's right. This big-time journalist uncovered many other "Holy Cannelloni!" inducing bombshells that you will hear, with your own ears, in this episode, today. (Also not paying for film promotion probably helps them not have to charge for it). Matt tells us about the surprising history behind Pastacolypse, how the voice cast came together, why the silly time cards are actually important to the film's structure, and many other pre-pasta-rous factoids. Being an Aqua Teen podcast, I was legally obligated to my benefactors (BIG AQUATEEN) to ask Matt about Aqua Teen's upcoming season, the Boston episode event, and how working on something like Pastacolypse differed/compared to working on Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm. Other topics discussed include Fox becoming the new Adult Swim, Matt and Jim Fortier's Adult Swim pilot Yenor, the amazing metal band ANKOR, and opening for AC/DC!

We have an inspiring guest in this week's Team Never Quit podcast. Brian Kilmeade shares his motivating views about reaching your personal potential, despite apparent failures along the way. Brian is a television and radio presenter and political commentator for Fox News. On weekdays, he co-hosts Fox's morning show, Fox & Friends, and he also hosts the Fox News Radio program The Brian Kilmeade Show. He has authored or co-authored non-fiction and fiction books, and is a New York Times Best-Selling Author. Brian is also a father of three. His attitude related to pursuing a dream, making things happen for a better life, and his love for this country is refreshing. In this episode you will hear: • Coming out of college, I just wanted to talk sports and news. • I played soccer through college. I wanted to be great, but I wasn't. • If you fire me or don't hire me, that's your choice, but I'm not gonna quit. • It's our job to reach our potential – whatever it is. • If things don't work out, you can't blame people. • Newscasters pretend they didn't put an oar in the water or tell you who to vote for, but by a look - by the way they give one side more power that the other. When you think you've heard a straight newscast – no you didn't. • If you are for an open border, you don't care about the country. If you destroyed the oil and gas business, you don't care about the country. If you're gonna stand down the Army to talk about white supremacy, you don't care about the country. • If you want to see an example of overcoming obstacles, pick up Andrew Jackson's book. He was orphaned and he was raised by his town, his county & his country, yet he became a 2 term President. • Don't get caught up in results. If you fail, your success is just delayed. • The only time you fail is when you quit. • The most rewarding thing to me is helping other people.
That title make you do a double take? Yup, same for the producer of this podcast. Looking past Brian’s colorful selection for a show title, we take a look at an interesting similarity between strippers and newscasters.

That title make you do a double take? Yup, same for the producer of this podcast. Looking past Brian's colorful selection for a show title, we take a look at an interesting similarity between strippers and newscasters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYzOVrEnqF8 Transcription Strippers versus newscasters, or how are strippers like newscasters. Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. This is an interesting concept but once you think about how our strippers like newscasters and specifically those newscasters that you see in cable news, alright. If you've gotten to watch much cable news, they're worse now than they've ever been in terms of doing a very specific thing that strippers are also known for doing. In fact, it's so built into the idea and you don't have to have ever been to a strip club to understand the process here, okay? You've seen movies, everything else, you understand that the strippers' job is to tease, they're teasing. They're teasing a process. That it's teasing. Something that the person's not going to get, they legally cannot get it, you know, in most cases, they're not going to get it from that person. They're teasing their product, they're pushing it right in the person's face. And that there's something very interesting about the psychologically to people. Not just men, and women to the tease attracts. The tease gets a person hooked, to go to the next step in whatever process you're talking about. And what are we talking about here, we're talking business, okay, this is a business show and we're talking about business concepts, things that would help a business owner or executive to be able to move things forward. And you got to understand the real magic. If you're looking to take someone, what we talked about yesterday was advancing. If you're looking to advance somebody, if you're looking to advance a complete stranger into becoming a possible lead for your business, if you're looking to take a lead and turn them into a customer, if you're looking to take a customer and have them buy something more or to opt-in to something that is going to be more of a continuity product that they pay on a regular basis. If you're looking to take them from a continuity product, on to a higher-end product, it doesn't matter, the same thing is true no matter what part of the quote-unquote funnel that they're in. And that's a tease. It's one of the best uses of attention-getting of anything in the world. It's the ability to say something without actually saying that and without giving all the details. It's it's open. It's an open loop. It's the concept of putting something out there and leaving something missing, purposefully leaving something missing. So that they feel the need to go a little further and find out a little more and see what's missing. So how are strippers like newscasts? Well, newscasters do the same thing on cable news. So they'll say we're coming up at 11 This and this, this and this, this and this, and they say something provocative to get you to go on to the next level, both newscasters and political commentators. So you'll see this on the political shows, they will say something outrageous, you know, what has Joe Biden done again today that has outraged half of America, you know, that they'll say something in order to get you to come watch the show to come to get to survive the commercial break, to go through and find out what's next. That's the Tease. The tease is a very, very magical thing. And it could be black magic, too. I mean, obviously, you could use this for the forces of evil if you wanted to. I'm encouraging you not to do that but I want you to be aware of it. I want you to be aware of how it does it to you and how it does to others. One of the reasons why this came up in my mind, I heard it in a couple of different places, and then I picked up this book again, it's one of my favorites.

I just feel like I'm trying to like, be right about my statement and put it in a way that it works, you know? And I'm like, Oh wait, this is just, this is just really complicated. Brian Thompson is one of my project managers. He's the guy that I feel.Fortunate to get to work with he's wise and kind he's a deep spiritually. And so instead of making a statement, we just had a conversation and I want to grow. I feel like. I have biases and I don't really know where they are and sometimes I don't even want to see him. And when they're revealed, they're usually pretty ugly and I try to cover them up with the good deeds I do.Brian has just made it real safe for me to kind of open up. Yeah, we just had a wonderful conversation. I know that, I shared with him first, you know, I, I went in this whole thing, got started and it was years ago. I just, I just felt like all lives mattered. You know, that, that was part of my calling, but I just didn't really understand the context and what you mean.It was being shared and it had to be revealed to me. I had to learn. But it took me kind of realizing that I didn't get something about it. And I wanted to avoid the temptation of being right about my opinion. And I just was actively seeking and asking Michael Moore: on this episode of the climb, we tell the story of Gordon Highlander, which has become the largest industrial finish out contractor in the metroplex.We're joined by Greg Gordon and Richard Greth. Two really good friends of mine. This episode goes deep. We laugh a lot. We talk about golf, family, politics. This is one you're going to listen to more than once. Enjoy the climb.[00:02:00] welcome to the climb. I'm your cohost, Michael Moore joined by my Partner in crime, Bob Wierema and we couldn't be more excited today. You're going to get two for the price of one. As we've got two really good friends of mine, great business minds, and Greg Gordon and Richard Greth. Richie and I have known each other since 1995.When I was on my way up to the university of Colorado, I stopped off in Lubbock. And he was my best friend from high school, his roommate. And it's been a unbelievable friendship since then. And then through Richie, I got to meet Greg Gordon, founder of Gordon Highlander. And so gentlemen, thank you for joining us, Bob.Thanks for coming back from Mexico for this and with that, Greg, I'll turn it over to you. Give us a little background on yourself and then Richie, you can follow him. Greg Gordon: I think just the quick disclaimer for the audience. you know, when, when, when guys like us know each other this well, there's, there's just going to be a lot of inside jokes, probably that people won't get. but, happy to be here. Thanks for the wonderful introduction. You guys, Gordon Highlander is a commercial construction company. We started in 2007 with a passion for serving other people and a commitment to excellence. And so I am humbled to be a founder and leader. And, we have had a lot of success in growing our business and, and I'm sure we will get to talk about that a little bit more in the, in the webinar, or, Podcast, what are we calling it? Bob Wierema: Podcast, too many webinars these days. Richie Greth: Yeah. Greg Gordon: What's the future state of the office. Bob Wierema: Yeah, exactly. [00:04:00] Richard. Richie Greth: Yes. Well, my name is Richard Greth and, yeah, I'm, I'm very fortunate to know Michael and, in Gordo for. For quite some time, they've both been great fans to great friends and trusted advocates throughout this crazy journey of law.But yes, on my, I grew up in Midland, Texas. I've been living in Dallas since about 2000 graduate of The Texas tech university, you know, been in construction. My dad was a general contractor, so grew up around it swore I would never do it to the log cabin from awful after a college and got into it. It just never turned back and really blessed to be in.Such a great industry. And, one that I never thought would be considered an essential service. So, but it's been one hell of a ride and I'm just blessed and, sound like a victory speech at the Oscars, but I just, you know, so many people have helped me along the way. So she's very blessed. Michael Moore: Well, Bob, why I wanted to bring these two guys on.Hey, cause it's going to be a whole lot of fun. But when we think about our mission in telling stories and defining moments and crossroads, they get you somewhere. I just found it incredible that there can be this, this friendship that it can be thicker than blood. And these two guys. Knew each other, they were clients of each other.And then eventually over time as things play out, now they're working together. I want to highlight that. And maybe guys, you can talk about how that all came together. Richie Greth: Yeah, I can take the first part of that. It was, probably mid 2001 of mutual friend of ours named Meredith. Gladys basically had introduced us.I was a young project manager at Trammell Crow and Gordo was a project manager at commercial interior space guy was doing industrial TEI and that [00:06:00] was kind of Gordo's forte for the business he was working with. We started working together and doing a lot of jobs and quickly found out that, that we enjoyed each other's company and a shared like ideals and, you know, more than anything knew how to kind of execute some of the promises that were being made on the brokerage.And I mean, one of my favorite quotes from a mutual friend of ours, Chris Jackson, he, my first started Trammell Crow. He, I asked him what the. Internal relationship was with between the project manager and the broker. And he says, it's very simple. I sell the dream and you live the nightmare and, and no truer words were ever spoken and Gordo helped live that nightmare with me.And, it's been a great. Greg Gordon: Kind Richie Greth: of partnership ever since we've done tons of work together over the years, our lives have paralleled each other and some of the ups and downs and ins and outs, so to speak. And we could probably spend a podcast on those parallels, but at the end of the day, we, we've always kind of had the same focus and the same mindset, which has kept.Kind of our planets in orbit, so to speak and campus together. And, it's really been a great partnership. And, you know, when Gordo went out on his own, I was fortunate enough. a bunch of his good friends were kind of racing to be the first one to give. Gordon Highlander, their first job and Gordo finally admitted during a recent round to another person who was trying to claim that, that, that I truly was the one who gave Gordon Highlander, their first job, you know, I've been invested in when Gordon Highlander since day one, just because of my love for my friend, Greg.And, you know, I've been to parties, you know, I mean, a bunch of the guys are probably new 50% of the staff before I even started, just because of my involvement and, just through different activities, et cetera. So Greg Gordon: that's a little bit Richie Greth: of a brief synopsis of how Greg and I came together and, you know, it's funny.He had, he had mentioned a few [00:08:00] times and I had mentioned about. You know, working with Gordo and it's funny, I think over a couple rounds ago and planets aligning and, it just worked out right. It's funny. I was at a point working for myself that the Greg, we were talking about needing, wanting to grow his business.And I'm probably a better promise or the executioner or executor's excuse me. So maybe that's 40 and slipped there. Anyway, Greg Gordon: Richie, don't take out all our competition. Richie Greth: Exactly. But anyway, so it's just been a blessing. I mean, getting to work with one of your best friends and, and for an organization like that, it's just been an incredible Greg Gordon: blessing.I love what you guys are doing. there's this famous quote, Eugene Peterson wrote, an interpretation of the Bible called the message and Eugene says. That storytelling is the language of the heart Richie. And I have shared our lives together in a, in a lot of different ways and friendship and, and the client contractor relationship and the partner relationship, and really just in brotherhood and, and, I will tell you that.I knew I had Richie support before I started Gordon Highlander. And there was this story that was being formed and it wasn't just mine. It was all the people that really were the ambassadors for the, for the business. And for me, And I think there's real mad. I think that people intellectually can wrap their mind around that, but really leaders actually do it.And we just have been really lucky with attracting the greatest people to the organization. I will tell you professionally, I think Richie joining Gordon Highlander is probably one of the [00:10:00] fastest. Literally, I can tell you it was G Oh seven one Oh one was the number of the first job that Gordon Islander over dead and Richie gave it to us.And then for us to figure out how he could become a part of our story, any RD was just in a different way, how to weave those together and how rich. How incredibly rich that story is it's, it's really unique. I think what Michael didn't say is that Richie is a unicorn. That's my term for someone that's really hard to find the key, go do anything they wanted to in the world.He could go do anything he wanted to. And the fact that he came to join Gordon Highlander is just, it's incredible. Bob Wierema: What I love is that you two actually like each other, unlike Michael and I Michael Moore: sure. Never spoken Bob Wierema: it's so cool to hear. I mean, you can see it in your guys, you know, inheriting your voices and the friendship that you have.And that's, it's so great to see. So maybe, maybe to one of the things I was thinking about when you were talking was, so you started the company in 2007, at what point? Richie, did you join the business? And like, how did that all kind of come about? At what point were you guys ready to start together? Richie Greth: Well, you know, it's funny.My, my official relationship with Gordon Highlander has just been a little over a year. my unofficial relationship with Gordon Highlander, like I said, has been from the, from the beginning, always trying to promote his brand, from the positions that, that I was in, et cetera. And then I'm trying to.You know, just different things. Like I said, going to his different functions, et cetera, but really, I think it's kind of a funny anniversary, but very appropriate for April 1st, 2019 is when I started, Michael Moore: I thought you would have said April [00:12:00] 20th. Richie Greth: Yeah. Well that was the end of my probation. Greg Gordon: You know, I think we probably remember it differently.I will tell you that. W I remember us Cedar crest golf course. I was really struggling and I was just dealing with some personal issues and I had some pain and I was unpacking that for Richie. And then Richie kind of said, you know, I'm struggling a little bit too. Like, I don't really love my home office.I've always been an athlete. I've always been a part of the team and I really. And then all of what Gordon Highlanders done. And I was like, dude, let's just get a business card, then we'll put your name on it. Like, well, fuck, we'll figure this out. You know, like, I don't know, like let's go on business, you know, and really we didn't know.And I will tell you that I have seen this theme in my life a lot, where in a way, God kind of puts things together. Or provides, I think I'm supposed to go a certain way and I get real focused on doing my part, but then God takes me in the other way. And then I ended up in a better spot than I ever thought I was going to be at, to begin with.And the funniest thing happened. I was pursuing a big tenant rep broker in JLL. The next week. And I was in the early stages of learning my relationship and he said, Gordo, I don't know, man. I just love you enough that I want to tell you. So, and I go what's that? He goes, dude, you need to, I have a business development person.If you're going to continue to grow Gordon Highlander. I like teed my ball up. I hit it and I just thought, thank you, man. I put a sign, you know, and I go, Hey, actually, I've been talking to this guy. I got somebody. And he [00:14:00] goes, no, I have the person that you need to talk to. I go once. And so he's like, yeah, you should talk to Emily.And so well, I started talking to Emily at the same time. I'm telling Emily about Richie and Emily's real confused about what the hell? yeah. It's, it's crazy. I have two sets of twins. You guys have two sets of twin boys. I managed to do that with two different women. And I refer to Richie and Emily is my third sentence wins.They started on the same day. Michael Moore: That's amazing. Greg Gordon: Yeah. Michael Moore: You know that, that defines it right there. I mean, that doesn't happen by accident and Gordo. I appreciate your. Your thoughts around your faith in that, and that, you know, we're all on a path. It's just our job to stay on it and pay attention to those signs along the way.And it's all gonna work out just because I'm a huge history guy backing up a little bit. Give us kind of the four, one, one on the name. You know, you being a third generation builder, like give us the background on Gordon Highlander. Cause it's a good one. Greg Gordon: Yeah, thank you so much for that. There's a, so I'm originally from the East coast, Baltimore, Maryland.my dad was the history teacher and ended up getting, his architecture degree. He worked for his father and my grandmother worked at the Maryland historical society and she had done a lot of research about our family lineage. So this would have been you guys in the seventies. Before the internet and probably a harder search to navigate than it is now.And so I was just born into this historical perspective when I was a little kid, I thought. I had an army in my family, [00:16:00] in the Gordon, Highlanders are regimented of the Scottish army. They were formed in the late 17 hundreds. And they're like the special forces to the United States army, a Winston Churchill, his famous quote about the Gordon Highlanders is that they're the greatest regiment that there ever was.And so they have. Rich history. I just learned about it as a kid. I thought there was an army in my family somehow. I didn't know how I was connected to it. And so this really cool thing happened when I felt the calling to step up my own. My dad was, is always been kind of Homebase and my strategic advisor and he was saying, son, we already have a brand.We were born into it. It's our family name and it has a tartan and it has its battle cry. Yeah. Yeah. It's all these things that a lot of, a lot of other companies, without a story or a history are trying to event, they're trying to invent it from scratch. And so it was just really cool. We, we pulled a lot of the principles of the army.Sayings end of the business. We pulled the Gordon tartan down onto the business and we brought all those things that had proceeded me into the business naming. And so the other thing is I, I, I did choose to put my name on the business too, and I think that that's important. Bob Wierema: And you, you mentioned you had this calling to step out on your own and I can't pass that one up in the theme of this.So what was the calling? How did that come to you? What made you make that leap and say, okay, I'm ready to do this. Greg Gordon: Yeah, just this, this hunch, this real instinct, I was just young and learning. The business was really about relationships. And I work for someone that I have a lot of respect for. They were a great technician at what they did, but.The relationship management part of that business, I felt like I [00:18:00] was doing most of it and that people weren't really attached to the business or the brand. They were attached to my relationship and the trust that I had formed. And so I wanted ownership and I was tired of being an employee. I thought I knew what that meant, putting my money back into the business somehow to get equity.But I, I really didn't know. What that was all about. That was just kind of over my head at the time. And, and, and so I asked for ownership, but I felt like I knew that the answer would be no. And I was prepared to go at, already set up my company. And, it happened very fast. It happened faster than I even thought it was going to.We, we had an incredible first year and really, we haven't looked back. We've had a couple of years where. Revenue was flat, but profits were up and we just have continued to reinvest in the business. And, we're actually believe it or not. I hate to sound tone deaf because I know things are rough in the world right now, but we're, we could have as much as 400% growth in 2020 with less people.Michael Moore: And one really good to really good twin business development people. Greg Gordon: Wow. Exactly. Well, I will tell you, I'm a whoop on the, at the top of the chart. Woo. When it comes to Strength Finders, I'm like all influence and Richie's woo. Number two, number one. He's positivity. It's he's just such a wonderful guy to be around.I don't know how to explain it. It's just Richie brings out the best in everybody. He's just. He is amazing. And so there's no doubt that he is a key part of our success. Richie Greth: I'm going to give you about five minutes to stop that.No, I appreciate it. Gordo, man, you know, it's a, [00:20:00] you know, all the love goes right back to you. I mean, what you've been able to do over the last, you know, 13 or so years is, is unbelievable. And, and, and Gordo hit the key there. I mean, really understanding relationship and understanding that it's not about the job.It, it, you know, it's, it's not about what's in front of you. It's, what's down the road more than anything and, you know, thinking, and that's one of the things I've always been so impressed with Greg Gordon: him is. Richie Greth: Taking long term, more than, than short term. We're really trying to invest back into his business, bringing in experts to help strengthen his leadership team, et cetera.I mean, he's just the way he's approached his businesses has been ferocious and directed and the results are results are obvious. Michael Moore: Through friendship. I mean, especially spanning as long as all of ours does together. If you add them all up, I mean, I've known Bob for 14 years. You just get to really know the true people.Couple of things to reflect on that. One of my first fondest memories of Gordo and there were, there were other ones, but this one is just sticking out right now. Maybe it's cause I'm looking at him was, At Richie's wedding and we're at the reception and I look over and the only white boy dancing, harder, white boy and sweating more than me is Gordo.And I'm like, That guy's awesome. And my wife is going who's that guy, he is having a better time than we are. Like, let's go hang out with him. And it's just been this, this triangle of friendship, you know, that comes in and out. Everybody gets busy, people have kids and, but you can always come back to it.And then, you know, shortly after. I started at Lockton was in when Richie decided to join up with you. So we were due for a big catch up and it didn't even have to be in person. I could just tell in his tone of voice, like he was reenergized, [00:22:00] he was fired up. He was, he was missing that culture that you've created at Gordon Highlander.So I think it was just, it was just a matter of time before y'all joined up and it's going to be so much fun to see where it heads next. I Bob Wierema: will say, Michael, the first memory I can think about you is in Nashville, Texas, and I'm pretty sure you were drinking and had a few too many cocktails when we were down at that training program down there.Michael Moore: Oh yeah. Nashville, Tennessee. Get your geography. Right. But Greg Gordon: what Richie Greth: did I say, Nashville? Michael Moore: I Bob Wierema: don't know. It's all, it's all South Illinois, South of Chicago. What's it's all the same. Michael Moore: Kind of transitioned into something I want to hit on next. Cause you know, Bob's got a perspective being in Chicago, he works with a lot of construction firms and real estate.You know, I see a wide breadth of business from oil and gas to real estate to construction to you name it. We're a little more insulated maybe in, in North, Texas than say our. East coast brethren or West coast, but Bob and I have spent a lot of time on our podcast. Kind of talking about this concept of what's occurred in the last 90 to a hundred days has created an old economy and a new economy.And so from y'alls perspective in the construction world and finish out and, and just in life in faith and family, like maybe take a few minutes to comment on that. Richie Greth: I'll add more to expand on the business side, the one kind of life side that, you know, I love how kids do the things that they can say sometimes can really just cut through some of the BS.And I remember my, my daughter, Georgia, she asked me, she said, dad, what, Greg Gordon: what Richie Greth: was Krone like when you were a kid? You know, something about that just resonated with me where I just looked at and I said, [00:24:00] baby, this, this is all new to all of us. I mean, we are all learning on the fly here. We didn't have this kids.So, you know, I think it's, it's great perspective. Think that, you know, never before have we felt maybe more connected to. More people globally, because we're all going through kind of one thing at the same time, but yeah, this is, this is something, I mean, I remember as a kid, the trivia question was who won the 1918 Stanley cup, you know, and it was no one because they shut it down for the Spanish flu.I mean, it was such kind of a little weird snapshot in time and we're right in the middle of this weird snapshot in time. And, to kind of get with your. You know what you were talking about. Faith early. One of my favorite kind of anecdotes is, you know, how do you make God laugh? You tell him your plans.You know? I mean it's, and I think no time has ever been sure than right now, but I'll let go to take the other part Greg Gordon: of that. There's something crazy about being a builder where you take other people's vision and. Make it come to life. So I think we're training really well to deal with obstacles. And these are just really big obstacles that we're going to figure out.Fortunately for us, there's been this wonderful confluence of the way we've built our business and how the market has come together. And so those two are crossing each other right now. And that's, it's kinda like a double up, Oh my gosh, I'm drawing a blank on the. It's everyone does surfing now.Wakeboarding, sorry. Whoa. Double up. It's when they cross the boat back and they make the wave go twice as high as it normally does. Right. Right. So just right away, I was fortunate enough to get plugged into some. [00:26:00] Calls where there was 15,000 people around the world through CBRS global investment platform.And those guys have economists and people that are way smarter than me that surround their business. And the industrial asset class has been growing and doing really well. And there's just a lot of data. Now that points towards. Continued expansion because of crown of IRS and industry. True Buddhist. No, that, inventory used to be a bad word.You know, everything was always Justin. And so everyone personally got to see how that got interrupted. And no one wants to deal with that again. And so they're saying 3% more inventory equals 500 million square feet speed of additional industrial development. And, the onboarding of manufacturing, you know, Trump's been talking about it for a while about getting it back from China.And I don't know how well he's been doing with it, but coronavirus really adds to his cause I think people can really now realize and see like, Hey, I don't want my coronavirus tests to come. From China. I want it to be made right here in my backyard. And people were actually kind of getting their mind around why having manufacturing near the business hubs make sense.And then you multiply that with eCommerce. And so the most fascinating part of it is e-commerce for whatever groups that it didn't reach prior to coronavirus, I'm telling everyone it doesn't matter what sex would. What color, what ethnicity, what socioeconomic group e-commerce is now like the United States postal service it's here to stay and some economists are suggesting 2 billion square feet, 2 billion, B billion square feet.Dallas Fort [00:28:00] worth is 850 million. And so we're just in this. Cross hairs where we've built our business in Dallas, Fort worth Dallas is the largest industrial development community in the country. Gordon Highlander is the biggest interior finished out contractor and industrial finish out. And so that gives us a lot of credibility.We've had a lot of swings. We've got great people and great processes. And the Mark is just producing a ton of work for us right now. So we just feel super-duper fortunate. Bob Wierema: You see Michael Moore: looking outside of Bob Wierema: the Dallas Fort worth area. Are you looking Michael Moore: at Bob Wierema: geography? You think there's a good focus there to continue and grow in that area and expand.Greg Gordon: We have been talking about that for a long time. And I will tell you that for me, when I experience a lot of growth, my temptation that I watch my hands, it's like, Oh, a lot of money that this snow on my hands. If I don't direct them the right way, they're going to want to put their hands on things. And I want to live my life with my hands open, like this.And when you have extra profits, I think that creates clarity on how you would go attack other markets. And so we're in the early stages of considering where the needs are greatest, where are the various barriers of entry are the easiest and how we could focus on really profitable offerings that match up with what we feel like is the value that we bring.Richie Greth: And at the end of the day, we felt very blessed to be an industrial construction in Dallas, Fort worth. Greg Gordon: He had it. The other thing with growth is we want to continue to grow at all water, the garden. That's already planning and plant more gardens and other places not get my OPIC or get too [00:30:00] proud. We want to be humble servants.And we just feel like we have a lot to offer people. I will tell you too, on the personal side, I'm predicting kind of this collision where we've been highly effective with being able to run our business without opening our office. You guys that's on the backs. It's clearly on the backs of the subs and the superintendents that work for Warren Highlander.So we're kind of a house divided where. You know, more than half of our company is learning this wonderful efficiency from being able to work at home while the other half is on the frontline, actually doing all the work. Not that we're not doing the work too, but you know what I mean? You see what I'm trying to illustrate.It's very different. Richie Greth: It is going to be fascinating to come out the other side of this and almost to have the Freakonomics mindset, to see some of the changes that will happen. I mean, you know, it's a great question to ask people how they work from home and you, you know, I've talked out. You know, architect, friends of mine, who said, man, I've never had so much uninterrupted time in my life.And then other people that have said I'm going absolutely stir crazy. I, I, I just, can't, I'm missing talking to people. So, you know, the, the different opportunities and the asterisk that is going to be over this year, you know, that people can put, you know, in, in some instances is. That's going to be fascinating to look at 2022, 2023 and just see mindsets, attitudes, behavior, and just some of the data that comes out of this and see what changes that's.That's what I'm really curious about Greg Gordon: too. I think about how we started the business Richie about relationships and know how powerful the human connection is. And I think the [00:32:00] efficiencies are great because they're a way to deal with the obstacles, but I don't see them as being long lasting. Yeah. And I also, I worry, you know what?I'm kind of in my beautiful mind state and we're drawing on the board and the EEQ and the conversation is real high and we're really grinding and getting vulnerable and really challenging each other around strategy. I think you gotta have that and you can't, you can't do that. Quite the same over a zoom call.Richie Greth: Yeah. Greg Gordon: So I'm, I'm just real curious to see, I know the pressure is building around me. I just am ready for coronavirus to be over. I'm starting to feel like, well, the serious, like baby Greg is showing up in the marriage, like he's just tired of wearing a mask. Michael Moore: Yeah. Amen, Richie Greth: man. What an incredible time though, to have grown of our story, have the abilities to have this one on one interaction and our, our kids aren't stuck with, you know, three rocks and a stick, you know, I mean, it's, it's pretty incredible.The time and the opportunity that we have in the outlets. I mean, it's a, I was watching the original total recall the other day and seeing people and faces and, you know, the video conference calls. And it was just kind of funny seeing some of those older movies trying to project the future, but it is interesting that, you know, Greg Gordon: Thank Richie Greth: goodness for technology thanking us for still able to see, I mean, you've experienced in some of our meetings.I mean, having this tool to be able to see your client's reactions, to be able to, to have that conversation. I mean, over a phone is almost like email. You can interpret it, thought four or five different ways. Being able to see someone's face is an incredible [00:34:00] advantage. So I mean, the four of us getting to sit here and have a conversation almost like we're sitting around the same table together, not to get too prophetic, but you know, it's just, it's amazing.Bob Wierema: Michael. And I have noticed that too, with doing, doing even this podcast and some of the other connections we've made throughout doing this is, you know, the, a bit like what I've met. Yeah. The opportunity to have the conversation with, with you guys without kind of this opportunity. Well, maybe, maybe not, you know, would mix, I have pursued this that we've talked about doing for a year now.Yeah. I don't know. It's cool. Richie Greth: It's all right. Ma you know, necessity is the mother of all invention, right? Michael Moore: Exactly. You know, I think it's probably a common theme that we all share that. You know, whether it's, it's being the old bull sitting on the Hill now instead of the young one, Richie Greth: are Michael Moore: we see a, you know, you, you, you just, you, you get a, as you get a little bit older too, to analyze things and, you know, Greg, a conversation we were having a week or so ago, kind of leading up to this podcast, if you feel like sharing, I just, I loved how you.You saw this movement of, of, you know, civil unrest going on and hashtag black lives matter, just popping up everywhere. And you're like, you know what? I need to understand this better. So can you, can you share a little bit about how you went about diving into that? Greg Gordon: Yeah. You know, it's funny, we've been trying to build the brand during the coronavirus with webinars and podcasts, getting out there.I just want say, man, I just felt this temptation to make it and no, not that there's anything wrong with statements, but. When you make them on the social media outlets, you just get ripped apart. [00:36:00] And I felt the temptation to make kind of a monolithic statement. I just feel like I'm trying to like, be right about my statement and put it in a way that it works, you know?And I'm like, Oh wait, this is just. This is just really complicated. And so I don't know if you've seen it that went out last week, but, Brian Thompson is one of my project managers is the guy that I feel fortunate to get to work with he's wise and kind he's a deep spiritually. And so instead of making a statement, we just had a conversation.And I want to grow. I feel like I have biases and I don't really know where they are and sometimes I don't even want to see them. And when they're revealed, they're usually pretty ugly and I try to cover them up with the good deeds I do. Brian has just made it real safe for me to kind of open up and, yeah, we just had a wonderful conversation.I know that, I shared with him first, you know, I, I, when this whole thing got started and it was years ago, I just, I just felt like all lives mattered. You know, that, that was part of my calling, but I just didn't really understand the context and what you was being shared. And it had to be revealed to me.I had to learn, but it took me kind of realizing that I didn't get something about it. And I wanted to avoid the temptation of being right about my opinion. And I just was actively seeking and asking, and my wife helped me out. You know, she just said, babe, could you imagine if we were struggling? I know we've been there before and I came to you and I said, babe, you know, do you love me?Can you tell me that you love me? And you said, Oh babe, I love everybody. And so there wasn't until I humanized it, that I could understand it a little bit more, but [00:38:00] also too, I'm not, I don't know anything really about the organization and I'm not trying to make a global statement about protests or any of that stuff.Just the very simple concept in which it was formed and how to be allied out there and just reveal my ignorance and love my friend, Brian. Well, Michael Moore: And so, after the conversation, I mean, are there things now that you're routinely working on or thinking about, did it fundamentally change or did it just shed light on kind of an idea and a, an ideology that you already had, or give us a little more insight?Greg Gordon: One of the questions that I asked Brian is I said, where do you think our biases come from? And he just paused and he goes, Wow, because I don't really know it. I will tell you that. I want to be captivated by the wow. And not the, how I always want to jump to the how, but I never stay right there. You know, I've never, I never stay on the wow.And I go, I think it's the really good questions that get you stimulated that are the things that form you and that matter. And. It's not so much about the answers I don't know about you, but coronavirus has been one of the most humbling things for me because every time I think I could get it figured out, it sets me back two steps.It's like one step forward, two steps back. It feels like it's the most disorienting thing. And then there's this imaginary line where everyone kind of draws in judges. And Richie Greth: it's a great point. It's like our, a mutual friend Dan lap and said right. Asking the right questions. That's a great question. What are those biases come from?Bob Wierema: Oh, boy, you got, how did you guys know? [00:40:00] Richie Greth: Gordo introduced us to them. Greg Gordon: Richie dated him in high school.Okay. Richie Greth: And then Gordo's stolen from me. Michael Moore: Dan, Dan was doing one of his workshops, in, in Dallas. And I just thought, yeah, Gordon Highlanders, doing so much work around, expanding in their brand and knew that. That the twins and the BD department were really ramping up, getting out there and, and. Shaking the trees.And so I thought they would benefit from knowing Dan. Now, if there's a side romance going on, we'll have to ask Nan about that. But Richie Greth: yeah. You know, and I will tell you that's another great thing. you know, being in that workshop and getting to do that was a lot of fun. And I think, A great thing of Gordo's character is he's never afraid to ask questions.And I remember, Dan and it was great, you know, it was great presentation and I thought he had some excellent things to say, and we were actually had him signed up to come down here, but. Chronic kind of sideline that, but, you know, he had a deal called the elite mindset, which you're aware of. I remember Gordo questioning the word elite and I, you know, at first I kind of crawled my toes a little bit and I was like, Oh no.And then I was like, I love it. You know, I go, the guy's just, he's not taking status quo. And I think that's a great example of Gordo. Just always asking questions and from whether it's. You know, getting involved in an investment deal and want to know exactly how, you know, what a cap rate is to, what do you mean by elite mindset?And it's been a great, it's been a great example for me to follow, to always ask questions and not just, you know, if something ruffles your feathers a little bit or makes you pause, poke at it for it. Greg Gordon: I Michael Moore: think, Bob Wierema: I think what's great about that is one of the things that's always resonated with me that actually [00:42:00] by executive yeah.Coach tells me all the time he's he says seek to understand, not to be understood. So ask more questions, do more listening than trying to make your point and like the Gordo's point of earlier and just having that ability to. Ask the questions and understand and put your bias aside or what you may have been taught in the past.And just ask questions to understand, instead of stating your point and sticking from there. It's, it's interesting how the conversations go and the relationships get built. Richie Greth: Right, man, Michael Moore: you know, along that same go, go ahead and go to. Greg Gordon: It's like a God gave you two ears and one mouth Bob Wierema: exactly. Michael Moore: To, to echo that Gordo.I mean my executive coach, we talk a lot about identity and reputation, and I think in our twenties and thirties, you know, where we're real focused and maybe even a little bit worried about our reputation, like that's what you're trying to build, but in reality, It's your identity. I mean, that's been there the whole time.And so if you just truly focus on. You and who you are and being the best you, your reputation, and you don't worry about it. It's going to be there because you're being yourself. Bob Wierema: Michael. I just do want to point out real quick that I am still in my thirties just to rub that in with you a little bit. Greg Gordon: Well, Michael Moore: we'll always be older than you, Bob.Greg Gordon: Really early Michael Moore: two sets of twins will do that Greg Gordon: to you. Richie Greth: I have a car that's in its thirties.Greg Gordon: we, I would love to share our mission statement with you guys. Michael Moore: Please do, Greg Gordon: to build a legacy of helping others reach their God, given potential. You know, I'm doing coaching right now to, Zig Ziglar coaching. And Zig, you [00:44:00] know, he's got, he's got all these nuggets, man. He's just got tons and tons of nuggets, but he.I just think very few people map actually can take all those beautiful things in their mind and disability Strait them in ways that are really easy to understand. And Zig says that legacy is where success and significance come together. And so, I don't know, Michael, your years were identity and reputation.And I feel like I I'm experiencing success. I want to be able to navigate that without becoming a part of it. I'm really interested in significance now. And I think that's part of what happens as you age or you're humbled that wisdom sets in and you realize you don't know it all. Yeah. I just think the, the why or the significance to that's the thing that I think Richie and I get to live out for everybody, just this idea of how important relationships are and what they mean, what they look like.I Richie Greth: do have a funny story real quick about Zig Ziglar. And, it pops in my head when, and Gordo talking about it. But one time we were playing golf in Dallas and we happened to run into leach. Ravinia. And Lee was he's a, if you've ever run into him or ever had a one on Greg Gordon: one, he, he Richie Greth: loves to talk and he loves to tell stories and he just started, he just pulled up and started talking about someone's stock socks and went into a couple stories and was just talking and Gordo interjected with a funny story about Zig Ziglar, talking about, cooking in a pan and, And it was really funny and leach Ravinia looked at Gordon and he says, yeah, I sit next to her on a plane one time.And a Zig Ziglar told me it helped me with my golf game. And I says, well, what do you shoot? He says, well, high eighties. I go, you can't help me with my golf [00:46:00] game.Greg Gordon: Okay. Richie Greth: So I thought that was pretty funny. I'm a huge fan of Zig Ziglar, but I thought that was. Funny how different people take different advice. Michael Moore: Well, you just never know who you're going to walk up on the tee box and play with. Remember when we played with Mark Cuban's mom. Richie Greth: That's right. And we, we, we didn't even believe her.Michael and I, this would have been 2002, maybe. 2002, 2000 2003, the great Stevens park and Kessler Dallas area. Michael and I are on number one T and it's just a twosome about three o'clock and we're ready for the fairway to clear. And we see this little old lady pushing a push cart, like, Oh God, please hurry, please.Fairly clear. And she comes hobbling up and says your mom. And we're like, yeah, sure. So. That's the third hole. She starts, she goes, you boys basketball fans. And we says, yes, we are. She's a little, my son is Mark. And I started thinking, what basketball player his name was? Mark. And it was Mark Cuban's mom.And, it was pretty funny at Steven's park right there. And we didn't believe her until she hopped in the Cadillac at the turn. Then we thought, well, maybe it is her. I'll be darn sure it was her. Michael Moore: And I'm pretty sure her, her nine whole front was a better score than ours, but Greg Gordon: we had more fun, way more. Bob Wierema: I'm just trying to understand how much golf you've been playing.I think most of the stories have been surrounded with golf so far, Richie Greth: man. Greg Gordon: know Richie Greth: not to tell another one, but another one of my favorites is, early on in Gordo and I's friendship. Gordo's dad who he referred to. Incredible guy. He was a leader, Trammell Crow when I was there and he had come down to visit a friend of his and we played at a golf course.It's not even there anymore. Great Southwest. And, in Arlington and about the third [00:48:00] hole Gordo's dad looked at me and said, boy, I will fire your ass. If you worked for me, the way you play golf, you obviously don't work.Greg Gordon: That was actually, my dad was coming down from Chicago. He ran the Midwest for Trammell Crow, then. Oh, okay. I love Chicago, man. It's one of my favorite cities Bob Wierema: we just want, we just want it to get back to normal here. I, I love it as well. And it's, it's hard scene with everything that you don't talking about when we were talking earlier to seeing the way the city is right now, everything's shut down.It's sad. Greg Gordon: Yeah. Michael Moore: It's a tough spot. We're in one other, a theme we like to hit on in this podcast guys is, you know, there's, we're kind of talking, this almost sounds like a. Something Zig Ziglar would say, it's, it's not what you know, it's who, you know, but I heard another one the other day that it's, it's not what you know, it's who knows you.And so, as you think about our audience of this podcast and letting people know who you are and what you stand for and what Gordon Highlander is and where it's headed, what would you want to tell him? Greg Gordon: That's a softball, right? Michael Moore: Lobbing Greg Gordon: it up, baby lob that went up to us, huh? Well, I will tell you, you know, the dress for success.I like to tell people now dress from success. Words Michael Moore: matter Greg Gordon: words matter, man. And what order you put them in? Do you know? Oh my gosh. That's so awesome. Well, hopefully the audience has listened if you haven't, you should go back because there's a lot of good nuggets in here, but if you're just catching this part, keep it up as out for Gordon Highlander.I don't know. I think there's big things on the horizon for us. I think we can be a national force. I'm excited about having a growth mindset. Just trying to help everyone in the organization, get to where they're supposed to be and [00:50:00] get the organization where it's supposed to be. So if you're in Dallas, Fort worth, we love you.We're not going anywhere. If you're in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and you need a good general contractor really close by. If there's a lot of industrial development in your future. We're more than just contractors. We understand the whole constellation around the deal, what it, what it, what it means to buy the land and build the building.We just think that because we know. What our customer goes through. That really helps us be the best general contractor out there. Who, again, if you want to play golf at Dallas national, you call RichieMichael Moore: that's Greg Gordon: perfect. Richie Greth: It's amazing to play golf and call it air quotes work Michael Moore: well with, with, with Jeff Bezos being one of our. Biggest podcast supporters will tell them to keep sending the work to Gordo. Greg Gordon: Yeah. Yeah. We signed an NDA, but we're not building his $10 billion clock or watch in the middle of the mountain over there or whatever the hell he's doing.But Richie Greth: thousand year clock, Greg Gordon: someone told me about that today. I don't even understand, but we'll build the warehouse all day long.What about you guys? How would you, how would you want your audience to know what you provide? How would you tell Gordon Highlander Michael Moore: from the standpoint of our podcast or how we make a living doing the podcast? Greg Gordon: Does the podcast point to your business or Michael Moore: no, that's not why we're doing this. I mean, it going back to.You know, the world essentially stopping for a minute and everybody resetting that's when Bob and I really started spending a lot of time on the phone, just looking for a creative outlet [00:52:00] and realizing that in our very own neighborhoods, whether it's in Chicago or Fort worth families, we're getting together again in the backyards and telling stories.And it was like, where did that go? I mean, Richie's been down to. My family's ranches. I don't even know how many times in the amount of stories that he's heard from my dad and my grandfather and times that I've spent with his dad. I mean, it's just that passage of knowledge is something that that's going away and we felt just motivated.Just say, no, stop that we're not letting it go away. We're going to get great people on our podcast with really interesting backgrounds. Defining moments and crossroads, and just bring those stories to life again. Greg Gordon: Do you know Donald Miller or D do you follow Story Brand at all? Michael Moore: I'm familiar with it, but I don't know it.Greg Gordon: I think we should invite him to Dallas national. All right. Let's all get our, our, desires together and let's, let's get someone on this podcast. It's out of our reach. Bob Wierema: Michael. And I've been talking about that. That's the goal. There's a couple, there's a couple ones out there that, you know, you, you think about it, it's like trying to get that reach out.And I said, I joked around with my buddies the other day about, they said, well, what are you going to do with this? Like, who are you trying to get on? I said, well, we've been wanting to hear all these. Stories, but we always kind of joke about, like I love talking to people like you guys cause it's relatable people.Right. And I said, but like at the end of the day, I said, the guy who like I've always loved and followed is Joe Rogan. I said, I'll hang it up. When I get Joe Rogan on the podcast, this he's the master of this. Right. Richie Greth: But that would be great. That would be great. Greg Gordon: Well, would it be cheating? We paid him. Bob Wierema: I don't think, I don't think we could do it enough after that big Spotify contract.Richie Greth: Right. Is he on cameo, Virginia?[00:54:00] Michael Moore: It needs a little pro bono work in his life now, you know, to give back, Bob Wierema: I mean, he's a big outdoors man. Like me. Maybe you can talk a little bow hunting on there, you know, just the Chicago boy that likes to bow hunt. I mean, come on. Greg Gordon: Wow. Michael Moore: Elk meat recipes. I mean, the guy's just, he's a Greg Gordon: beast. Dude. And he doesn't, Richie Greth: that's gotta be a narrow demographic from Chicago.Bob Wierema: There, there are not a lot. And, you know, you talk about, you know, these like funny stories. So when I met, when I met my now fiancé, if you could have only seen the face, the look on her face when I said yes, so I like to go hunting. She's like, well, what does that mean? I said, well, I. I bow hunt. She's like, well, what do you shoot?Michael Moore: It's Greg Gordon: like Bob Wierema: elk and deer. And she was just like, who is sky? Like what, what event is this in Chicago? I mean, you just don't have it here at all. There's, there's not a lot of people that are outdoors men here. And I live six blocks from my office right in the smack, a middle of downtown. And it's just been a huge passion of mine since I was a little kid.And you know, it's always be a part of my life. Richie Greth: Well, you need to get down to a, when the Miguelito's ranches, Sandy or Cedar Creek and go, go do some pig hunting nits. There there's some special places down there. Bob Wierema: And that's always interesting. I always look out for those invites and my phone never seems to fricking ring Michael Moore: well, you know, she's going to kind of see how this podcast goes and if it's successful, you know, we'll have a reunion down there.No, you never go. The invite is always out there. You know that, but go back to your question. I mean, I think, you know, what we want people to know is that this is just something we're doing from our hearts and we believe in it, it's important to us. We're having so much fun doing it, you know, and as it relates to what we do, I mean, a big part of, of Bob and I's job is, is the InsureTech [00:56:00] movement out there.I mean, you see the lemonade stock. Flying through the roof. You know, there's a lot of, of things that are trying to commoditize the insurance market. And, you know, our strong belief is that it's still a relationship people business. And so we're all about relationships we care Greg Gordon: and Michael Moore: this podcast, I mean, you've, you've gotta be in the moment for, you know, we're going on an hour plus now of really listening and being able to find that next question and to keep.The conversation going and taking it to maybe, you know, we've had several that have, we had one guy that got all teared up. I mean, you just don't know where the conversation's going to go, but if you're in the moment paying attention and giving a shit, it produces some amazing content. Richie Greth: For the record. I'm, I'm impressed.Gordo. Hasn't teared up. And I know he, I know he mentioned that, but that's part of his, you know, what tendencies, but, you know, I just gotta say, I love what you guys are doing. I love the storytelling aspect ever since you told me about it and hearing what you sent over. I think it's awesome. I mean, you know, storytellers and that.It's becoming a little bit of a loss brand then, and, and the lost touch with, with connecting with people. I mean, many years ago, I mean the most revered people in the tribe or the storytellers, you know, I mean, the people who gave the oral history and were able to relate, you know, the old, moral, the stories, et cetera.I think it's great what you guys were doing and very thankful to be a part of it. Michael Moore: I'm laughing because Bob Wierema: you talk about storytelling. Might this tell my dad the other day he goes, Oh yeah, that makes sense for you to go. He's like, you've been full of shit your whole life. Of course, you're going to do a plot.Yes. He's like, you got plenty of stories to share. Greg Gordon: Right? The other, the other connection that Richie and I [00:58:00] have is we love, I think one of the things that just marks really high up there. Our ability to laugh, learn our sense of humor and just having a good time together. And I see this connection, man. I don't know I'm going to do a good job my case here, but I think of joke telling is storytelling in a way.Absolutely. We kind of set up this story and then you like the way it are pulling the tablecloth out from underneath the table, you just let it, everyone know that it was actually rearranged a different way, and then you let them realize it, you know, And so Richie and I, I mean, dude, the other day, he, I think my dad called him to tell him a joke or he called my dad to tell my dad a joke.And then my dad told Richie that I never answer his phone calls anymore. So we made Richie call in on a three-way from Richie's phone and I answered the phone. And then I see my dad and tell him this.And then he was just like, I'll just leave it right there. Click you, hang out. Hey, hangs up the phone. And so, Yeah. I think our love of storytelling is it seems like it might be genetic. I haven't met Michael's dad, but I've heard lots and lots of stories. I think it's cool. If your dad can pants, you say that you were full of shit.That means. And he's probably a good storyteller too. Bob Wierema: He is, Greg Gordon: he definitely is. Richie's dad is a little bit like Lee Trevino. Like he comes right out with the story too. He's got them flying out. No Richie Greth: filter, no filter. The Bob Wierema: funny thing is I said to my dad the other day, I said, man, if you've gotten older though, like there's some stories here that were here and I'm not sure if they're real anymore.And he's telling one the other day and my [01:00:00] mom's looking at him. And she's like, I've never heard this story in 30 something years, you know? And she's like, I don't know where this is coming from. Richie Greth: You know, one thing my dad has a, has a propensity to do now is to merge like two or three Greg Gordon: stores. Richie Greth: And so it's like a hodgepodge it's like, you can just put it in my cocktail and hit the blender button.It's hilarious. Michael Moore: Well, I think that's just a sign of having so many good times. They just start all blending together. You Greg Gordon: know, Michael Moore: he's lived an amazing life. Well guys, you know, we're, we're coming on up over a little bit of an hour here. I can't. Thank you guys enough. And. We'd love to have you guys on again, see where Gordon Highlander creates total global domination.You know, again, Gordo, thank you for sharing the, the quote about storytelling is the language of the heart. Cause that's what this is all about, and we appreciate y'all telling your story today. Richie Greth: So is this first intermission or is this over? Michael Moore: We got Bob Wierema: to fill up our drinks. Greg Gordon: Yeah, it's actually my second set of twins an all day long Waterslide birthday party today.Wow. And so I am going to go change into my bathing suit. Well, Bob Wierema: there you go. Greg Gordon: I'll show you guys. I think this is the modern work attire, right? It's a dress shirt. Bob Wierema: Oh yeah. Greg Gordon: It was shorts. Bob Wierema: I thought you were going to show us the bathing suit. Greg Gordon: Yeah. Richie Greth: I just have dental flaws below the waist. There Michael Moore: you go.Newscasters have been doing it for years. Greg Gordon: Well, we appreciate you guys. I dunno, Michael, I'm happy for your success and. Great to meet you. Rich. Absolute love you [01:02:00] Richie Greth: guys. That was a blast. Michael Moore: Absolutely. Bob Wierema: Ton of fun. I'll hit you guys up for that Dallas Nashville invite. Don't worry. Probably coming here in August.Richie Greth: Okay, come on. Second half of August. We're shut down. First half and second half Bob Wierema: I'll play it. I'll plan it. I'll plan it a mic. Richie Greth: Yeah, you get to watch Bryson hit 400 yard drives on the practice. Tee. It's kind of fun. Bob Wierema: We'll make it happenfor sure.Michael Moore: We're all in. Thank you guys so much.

In our first two parts we discussed the following points: 1) The Qur’an mentions people were one. When divine knowledge came to guide them, they used this as a means of misguidance against each other.. 2) Differences in any one issue show the depth of that matter and how much knowledge it may contain 3) Scholars advise to keep their differences of opinion private before going public 4) Differences emanate from two places: i) Ignorance and ego ii) Newscasters; news-hounds; and news consumers 5) The Maraji’ welcome challenges (within reason, obviously) In this weeks discussion we will look at the question of our attitudes toward people who have differences with us. Karen Armstrong has written one of the most important books of our generation: ‘Muhammed: Prophet for our time’. At the onset of the book she says it was disturbing to her to see the Prophet (s) denigrated as a militant Prophet, when this is a man who spent his entire life trying to solve the problem of human conflict. He was born into a society of perpetual cycles of violence. An example of this is the famous 40 year war over a horse race called ‘Harb al-Dahis was Ghafra’, referring the names of the horses between the tribes of Abs and Dibyan. The man who started the war became a monk because he could not bear to look at the faces of those whom he’d been the cause of injury or death to. We can see how the Qur’an addresses the attitude of believers to be amongst themselves (48:29) Muhammad is God’s Apostle; and those who are [truly] with him are firm and unyielding towards all deniers of the truth, [yet] full of mercy towards one another. This is why the Prophet (s) had to warn, “Do not turn back after me as ingrates striking at the neck of one another” The Qur’an is critical of those who use their extremism in personal beliefs to be a means of dividing the community. This is mentioned twice in the Qur’an: (23:53) “But they (who claim to follow you) have torn their unity wide asunder, piece by piece, each group delighting in [but] what they themselves possess.” (30:32) “Among those who have broken the unity of their faith and have become sects, each group delighting in but what they themselves hold.” What is the attitude of our Maraji’ toward differences between them? I was present in the lesson of Grand Ayatollah Syed Mohammed Taqi al-Modarresi when he categorically stated, ‘Whichever Marja’ you follow you are guided’. He also said, “Syed as-Seestani is my friend. Syed Khamenei is my friend” when talking about how people wanted to create differences between them. In a famous lesson, during the intellectual battle between the Akhbaris and Usulis, when the groups had vast differences, the leaders of of those periods kept their unity. When Sheikh Wahid Behbehani, head of the Usuli movement, died, he willed that Syed Yusuf al-Bahrani, head of the opposition Akhbari movement, should lead his funeral prayers. This shows the differences are academic but the responsibility of protecting the community was tantamount. And these are the examples set for us. In our last part next week we will ask how do we respond when emails and video clips are circulated within the community.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
This week on "A Way with Words": Your telephone is for talking, right? Or is it? We're guessing it's been a while since you sat next to a telephone waiting for it to ring. In fact, maybe you're one of those people who HATE to see that voicemail message light blinking. But for many of us, waiting for a text is a different. Also, California may be the "Dude!" capital of the country, but the term "dude" actually comes from New York City. And where exactly do you eat tweezer food? Plus, donning and doffing our clothes, tweezer food, the origin of kowtow, emcee, Arby's, and -orama, and modern etiquette for wedding invitations.FULL DETAILSSorry, Californians—the word dude actually comes from New York City, and goes all the way back to the 1800s.To kowtow, as in "to agree in an excessively eager or annoying way," comes from a Chinese term that means "to bow extremely low out of respect," from words that literally mean "knock head."Flight crews have a word for colleagues who check into a hotel, slam the door behind them, lock it shut, and don't re-emerge until checkout time. They're called slam-clickers.Addressing a wedding invitation to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith is pretty old-fashioned. It's more than appropriate these days to address both a husband and wife by their respective names. But if you're inviting someone who prefers the old-fashioned style, best to honor their preference.When flight attendants use the terms feather, leather, or fin, they're talking about "chicken, beef, or fish."Our Quiz Guy John Chaneski has sandwiched together the first letters of first and last names for a trivia game about famous folks.Long before English speakers adopted the suffix -orama, as in Scoutorama and smell-o-rama, there was French word panorama referring to "a great display or spectacle." Panorama comes from Greek words that mean "whole view." University of Alabama professor Michael Piccone details the development panorama in French in his book Anglicisms, Neologisms, and Dynamic French. In English, panorama first referred to spectacular, long paintings slowly unscrolled before 19th-century audiences, and later inspired other words that likewise ended in -orama.Firefighters don and doff their equipment, words that derive from "do on" and "do off." New York City firefighters' buff-colored uniforms apparently inspired our word buff, as in a fan -- a reference to fire enthusiasts who would show up in buff-colored coats to watch firefighters at work.A caller from Burlington, Vermont, has observed a slight change in the language of flight attendants' instructions, replacing your with that. Instead of saying "Put your coat in the overhead compartment," the ones on the airline she frequents say, "Put that coat in the overhead compartment." Linguistic anthropologist Barbara Clark has analyzed the scripted language of flight attendants and finds their deferential speech is calculated in part to gain the respect and loyalty of passengers.Remember when teenagers used to sit by the phone, waiting for it to ring? Now ask teenagers if they do anything but text.Newscasters are going overboard with the euphemisms for death, like passed away, or simply passed. If someone died, it's fine to say exactly that.Jagging around is a classic Pittsburghese term for "fooling around," or "to poke fun or play tricks." It's likely related to jaggerbush, meaning a "thorny bush."You know when you go to a fancy restaurant and order something where every little ingredient looks like it was placed there with a tweezer? There's a term for that stuff: tweezer food.Emcee, or "Master of Ceremonies," is one of many cases where the initials of something are spelled out phonetically, like okay, deejay, jaycee, or Arby's. Although every letter of the alphabet can be sounded out this way, few words fall into this category.Some New York City street names also denote whole industries, such as Wall Street and Madison Avenue.This episode was hosted by Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett.--A Way with Words is funded by its listeners: http://waywordradio.org/donateGet your language question answered on the air!

Special thanks to Taylor Higgins (@taylorhigs) for our St. Paddy's logo! Episode 13 of the Is This a Thing? Podcast!"Multidimensional Dog Buffet"Starring: Marc, Akshat, and DanPotential Things this week: Newscasters on Television: We're not sure there's a concrete answer to whether real newscasters should be allowed in fictional universes. We do know that we'd like Larry King in all fictional universes, playing all the roles. Buffets: Forget every opinion you had, because you've been living in a Ivory Tower, going to buffet after buffet and getting fat on chinese food and judgement. General Tso' Pizza: The good idea train keeps rolling. Yes, we've applied for a McArthur Genius Grant. No, they won't return our calls. Facebook Page for Pets: Having a Facebook page is what separated us from the animals. It's the most human act outside of differentiating between a salad fork and a regular fork. It's Episode 13 of the Is This A Thing Podcast! We discuss whether it should be okay to have real newscasters in fictional TV Shows and movies. Is it a difference in approach? Is it that we want Larry King to play all the roles in the next Mission Impossible? You'll find out! We then move to Dan's controversial hatred of buffets. Like with most things, Dan's solution is bread lines for the poor. We also come up with the most amazing food of all time: Chinese pizza! The possibilities are as endless as the diarrhea is sure to be! Please give us money. Finally, we have another listener question: is it a thing to make a Facebook page for your pet? We know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes: it would be great if cars sent really hyper sexual tweets to their owners. We're all on the same page here. Special thanks to Fletcher Magellan for our new theme song, "Oh, No!" off his upcoming album. Listen to it, and other singles like it on his Soundcloud.

Read to the End and Find a Business Application It's entirely possible that today's memo will make you think less of me. Maybe not. We'll see. People fall into 4 categories in my mind: 1. People I owe.2. People I know.3. People Invisible.4. People I must fight.If you object to people being put in categories, please keep in mind I said we're talking about the world inside my head, not yours. People I Owe: When a person has been there for me and helped me when I was down, or gotten involved with something I was trying to do, I'll always watch for a way to repay them. Some of the People I Owe have earned huge equity in my life and I'll happily do things for them that no one else dare ask. I'll bet you're like that, too. So here's my question for you: what did your “People I Owe” do for you that you've never forgotten? What was it that lifted them to such lofty heights in your heart and mind? Do those same things for other people. People I Know is a category that might have been labeled “friends and acquaintances” but it's much broader than that in my mind. People I Know are the fabric of the social construct that exists within the scope of my limited vision. In essence, People I Know are the population of RoyWorld. I'm aware of their actions and I care about them. Strangely, the population of RoyWorld contains no newscasters. They are, to me, Invisible. I'm being completely serious with you. Newscasters have no place in my mind. I don't hate them exactly, but I have no use for them. They don't matter to me. Consequently, http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com/?ShowMe=Newspaper1 (newscasters don't exist) in my private world. People Invisible are those who don't count. Who doesn't exist in your private world? How many billions of people live beyond the edges of your peripheral vision? You might like to believe you care about all living things and value all human life equally but your mind isn't big enough for that. You can't wrap your consciousness around everyone and everything on earth. So there will always be People Invisible in your world whether you like it or not. I'm suggesting only that you begin 2010 by choosing the populations of your categories consciously rather than unconsciously. Who will you owe? Who will you know? Who will be invisible? Who will you fight? Last week Pennie and I listened to People We Know talk about their Christmas traditions. One man we know – I don't know his name – watches each year for the sanitation workers who pick up the garbage in his upscale neighborhood. Walking to the curb, he gives each man a Christmas card containing a surprisingly large cash tip. He said, “It makes them part of our community. It proves we recognize them, know their value, and consider them to be part of us.” The men on that garbage truck honk and wave and smile as they pass his home each week. The glow of his recognition stays on them all year. Our friend moved his service workers from People Invisible all the way up to People I Owe. And they have never forgotten it. If you're in business, your customers are People You Owe. If you let them slip down to People You Know, or worse, People Invisible, your business will definitely suffer for it. But if that happens, don't sweat it. You can always blame your advertising. Roy H. Williams

Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. *We're living in a time of tumultuous change. A misinformed president declares a war. The value of homes – which were never supposed to fall – fell. The SEC can't make Wall Street color between the lines and 700 billion dollars goes missing. A 50 billion-dollar Ponzi scheme is perpetrated by one of the most respected men on Wall Street. A governor tries to sell a seat in the Senate. I saw gasoline sell for a dollar a quart and watched General Motors become insolvent. But I'm not worried. I was born in a briar patch. Pennie and I began our lives together during the term of another president who wasn't quite up to the job. It's 1976. Mortgage interest rates are 18 percent and jobs are scarce. If you see a line of cars at a gas station, get in it. Gas stations don't always have gas. The middle-eastern boogeyman of that era, the Ayatollah Khomeini, brazenly invades a U.S. embassy and kidnaps 52 U.S. diplomats. Newscasters remind us nightly of our shame. When we send our best and brightest soldiers to rescue our diplomats, we crash two of our aircraft, eight soldiers die and we return home empty-handed. The Ayatollah holds us hostage for 444 days. “Elected largely on his promise to never lie to the American people, Carter soon seemed out of place in the vastness of the presidency. Events conspired to further impede his progress: rising energy costs, high unemployment, Americans held hostage in Iran, Soviets in Afghanistan. A man of peace who took pride in bringing together age-old antagonists, Carter was finally viewed by his countrymen as lacking presidential stature.” – American Experience, PBS And the whole time, it seems the only thing we needed was a head cheerleader with a more beautiful dream. Ronald Reagan took office with a sparkling smile. “Things are fine. Expand your business. All is well. Go out to dinner. Life is good.” And we believed him. Economy rebounded, cold war ended, Mary Lou Retton vaulted a perfect 10 and the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. Barack Obama has a good smile, too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. In defiance of the current recession, Wizard Academy is moving forward with the construction of its new classroom tower. Perhaps we're being foolish. Maybe the right thing would be to hunker down and cover our heads with our hands. But did you ever notice how “hunker” sounds like clunker, junker, lunker and dunker? I prefer “dream,” as in team, gleam in the eye, beaming smile and cream of the crop. “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.” – T. E. Lawrence (of Arabia) Hunker down or dream. It's your call. The 7 Steps to Hunkering Down: 1. Stay scared. Call it “street smart.” 2. Cultivate cynicism. Call it “straight talk.” 3. Praise pessimism. Call it a “reality check.” 4. Believe you are wiser than everyone else. 5. Feel secretly superior. 6. Take no action that might improve your condition. 7. Crow “I told you so” when things get worse. The 7 Steps to Pursuing Your Dream: 1. Know what you're trying to make happen. 2. Expect good things to happen for you. 3. Plant seeds of good things daily. 4. Trust that some of your seeds will grow. 5. Measure success by your own criteria. 6. Make progress daily without fail. 7. Believe in the power of the Elbs. http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com/newsletters/exponential-little-bits ((Exponential Little Bits)) Do you believe in your dream, or do you think it's only a fantasy? Moving forward with just a thousand dollars: I showed today's memo to 5 of my most successful friends and said, “Talk is cheap and I don't want to be seen as one of those pollyanna happy-talk motivational goobers without substance. Action makes things happen,
Newscasters select the news and views, you are fed the information with the slant on selection. This works for religion and politics. Give a listen.
