Master of Masons of Florida say say it the way it’s supposed to be said cuz I’m a bone head most worshipful Robert Lamb Grandmaster of Masons of Florida that’s it is there a more prestigious way to say it than that that’s close enough I got an idea let’s start that over what
You want to start that over why all right fine no all right try to edit hang hang me out there like that oh cuz you made a mistake cuz I made a mistake definitely keeping that in definitely keeping that in yeah that three hours of sleep is really starting to kick in it’s

Communication here in beautiful Orlando Florida 194th Grand communication4 194th that’s uh that’s something else man what what a privilege it is to be a a part of something um like this you know I I this is the first time i’ I’ve been to one of these and it’s absolutely been amazing
For me I mean absolutely off the chain I don’t want to go that way most worshipful first thing we want to thank you um for coming on the show and would you uh please we we know you um but our fans don’t know you can you just give us
Kind of a in Florida knows you for sure everyone in Florida knows you but maybe the guy in Israel or Zimbabwe doesn’t know you and uh would you introduce yourself to us and give us a little history of your Masonic career if you would sir oh my Masonic career stretches
Many years back in history and by the way this is 2023 not 2013 he caught it he caught it see he WR you need to get out he showed it to me but you caught it oh we are going to get along so well I
Like I have the power of editing so so just keep it up mister nope the most worshipful here has the power of editing yeah that’s true he does have the ultimate delete button no I have contact the man who owns the ultimate delete button he told us about his delete button oh
Yeah and what it is you just start to fade out yeah right it’s a fader it’s not a delete button it’s a fader just fade out of existence like a ghost you just kind of close fall to the floor but yes if you would sir I yeah my mic
History probably starts back personally when I was 13 years old okay my father asked me if I wanted to be a deay and I had the I have the opportunity to join that youth group of young men and was around some excellent leadership because nothing better than our Advisory Board these men had
Experience from all over the world wow and they were teachers and I progressed to that um all the way through till I was 21 mhm which at that time that’s when I would joined the Air Force so I had okay Hiatus from all gotcha had a lot of fun in the air
Force uh well okay I’m sure did you fly planes I didn’t fly them I fixed and worked on f-16s oh wow wow that’s cool so does that mean you worked on ships no no that’s an actual jet that would be a jet F16 is a I know I’m sorry it was The
Ultimate Fighter okay from the Top Gun movies oh no those guys Flo dang it not he worked on the single single cater badass fighting they had the B models which was a double seater oh was it yeah they have 16 now that is that the Tom
That’s the Tom cat no have 14s that’s the four okay that’s Navy that’s Navy got you we won’t talk about them yeah that’s right that’s right don’t talk about Navy Marine we have a marine no crayons huh oh oh boy he is armed probably well more than likely what are you talking about
He’s armed and he doesn’t have a mic so okay let’s move on move on um after that I came back and I went ahead and join uh Temple Terrace Lodge oh okay um didn’t stay there too long because I was on the other side of town I lived in Hillsboro County they’re
Basically on the east side I lived on the West Side uh so I wasn’t overly active MH okay but then a brother of mine Arthur by name of Arthur asked why don’t you come over to our lodge which was about 15 minutes away from my house okay was named Arthur Meyer very good
Man and I did I visited I thought you know I need to train if I’m going to stay active get my money’s wor right I transfer my membership and I did so did that what lodge was that it was holy rude holy rude okay Hollywood number 257 and what year was
This I know sorry oh that was probably mid 2000 it would be ironic if it was 2013 no no but believe it or not something interesting happened 2013 we we’ll get back to 2013 yeah oh we will so by 2010 I was mastered the L okay wow yeah I had
Already been about 20 year Mason at that point okay U then you’re a young guy then right 61 okay okay for all those 20 year olds I’m an old guy but whatever yeah um but 2013 most worv Danny Griffith made me one of his district deputies okay
And that was a chance to meet a whole different group of brothers because usually when you’re in your own Lodge and District you have a tendency just to be around these guys MH I had a chance to be around guys from all over the jurisdiction the entire State of Florida
Right right can’t handle the keys and and it’s makes it so much more fun yeah oh I can imagine I’m finding that to be true because we we only in our district in District 23 but the more I go around to other lodges and meet other brothers the better this thing
Gets right yeah yeah yeah and they’re experiences in life and everything else just it’s just so much more fun yeah yeah um after that um I most worful Steve boring asked me to be his pursuant don’t ask me what that job is it’s a long title and you’ve only got 15
Minutes is that a blue LOD position really it’s a it’s a grand LOD position oh okay that’s why I’ve never heard of it basically he’s a the Swiss army knife of the Grand Lodge okay you need I like that position yeah do the prayer or you need to fill
For this guy that guy kind of like a marshall in a blue Lodge it’s it’s the Marshall’s Marshall yeah okay okay all right and then U most worful John Kum asked me in 20 about 2017 when he was Deputy grandmas if I’d be his Grand Marshal okay which made it even more
Exciting right um and at that point I had already been thinking about the grand line get the elected Grand line but I had a really exciting fun year working for most work recruit brilliant man okay just people speak so highly of him right with a reverence oh yeah um he
Actually passed away on Tuesday of his year as grandmas at Grand Lodge yeah okay wow he was he had just been he he was like it was the day after the day of he was no longer Grandmaster that that no he was still grandmas he was still grand out if W technically physically
Passed away a couple days later but collapsed at Grand Lodge collapsed at Grand Lodge oh wow yeah looked at his district deputy and said we got to keep going we don’t have a choice that must have been a tough situation well they they worked hard for
Him and they were proud to work for him and they had every right to be wow that’s a that’s quite a story which happened to be the day before that was and when I actually was elected Junior Grand Warden okay so that was an exciting right mixed emotions Wednesday morning big highs and
Big lows there sure was wow but um and I just try to kind of follow some of his examples and uh I had the the pleasure and honor of working underneath most worful Turlington and underneath most worful Foster and you were a lucky charm is that what he called this folks
Technically because I was in the grand line but uh and that’s what he called the I think his group like you’re you have the legion what what the Lambert’s Legion Lambert’s Legions yes okay we let the district deputies pick their names okay because obvious we wouldn’t pick pick
The things they pick it’s like they’re the ones that got to live with it so we were Danny Boys oh okay that’s Danny Griffin oh okay I see how this works okay I get oh Danny Boys wow you had Foster Fleet last year oh okay cuz he was a Navy guy mhm uh-huh
Yeah right so but you know it was very enjoyable to have a line of brothers that you knew and worked well with MH and uh I think that was reflected out to the craft yeah it definitely comes across when you guys do your Grandmaster official visits and we see you guys
Interacting you can feel how much fun everybody’s having together exactly and that’s like encouraging I think to everybody else to see that your grand line is enjoying their time and they’re really enjoying each other absolutely absolutely yeah so we want that in our blue lodges oh yeah
Absolutely uh sorry um so here we are Grand Lodge um and tomorrow uh begins a new chapter for you absolutely um what’s uh what’s what’s the year been like what give us uh give us the O the 30,000 foot view here of uh of your year what what
Do you what what stands out to you the good stuff that stands out is the fellowship with the brothers yeah of course uhuh I had a very interesting opportunity the the deay had their International Conference here during my year all right and as a senior deay it
Was very exciting to be announced in as the grandmas Masons of Florida walking in amongst all those Brothers yeah wow that was a real touching moment that was quite an honor it was I would say the most single challenging thing and floridans hate this word hurricanes oh
Yeah oh boy poor District Deputy dealt with that yeah I had two of them that were hit very very hard yeah um but they handled it with skill and Grace uh if anything positive came out all that was watching how the brothers worked together rallied yeah abely they took
Care of The Lodges they took care of the neighborhoods yeah we had a group of brothers that took care of over 1500 families in Fort Meyers mhm about that they were on the ground working when the Red Cross didn’t come in until a week later yeah yeah I think
Um it was uh was it right worful dos and uh District Deputy that’s our district deput district instructor of 23 they were they were in North they were in Port Charlotte the day after yes they were down there the day they looked at every LOD in our district the next day
The next day every Lodge they went and checked in if they could get there there were some that they couldn’t they couldn’t get to pord could P right yeah I that Saturday we were supposed to have our official visit mhm oh yes yeah oh that’s right yeah at robarts but that
Turned into an emergency response center for the we knew that was not going to happen but uh that Saturday we gathered a group of brothers together with supplies generators things like that and we started hitting South in Tampa now normally Fort Meers is about a two and a
Half hour drive yeah we were over SE excuse me over seven hours right now we end up all the way in Sebring to get around to finally get to a bridge that we can get over to Peace River right get down there get down in there yeah it was
It was horrible but it was a tangled mess man oh it was everything and I gave credit to the power companies they were alwayss you you know stuck in one traffic jam I can sat there and watch them pull this broken pole pop the hole
Put the new pole on hang the line on it in less than 10 minutes they’re rolling down to the next one right incredible they have it down to a sun sence really something to watch and I wish I didn’t have to sit there and watch it yeah
Right it led to another good thing I think because that District visit you were supposed to have for us turned into a really intimate thing at a lodge something I never experienced really yeah we went and decided in order to make the visit happen we’d do a town
Hall meeting inad yeah we did a lot more casual it was very casual and intimate it very much more intimate um it it it was a lot more fun to be honest with was it for you fun yeah yeah it did it was for us as for for me anyways I felt just
Less I don’t know we were like together it felt like we were just together it wasn’t like a well I I tell the guys I hate podiums to begin with so I step out into the crowd and into the brothers and talk to him oneon-one so it’s uh it was
A lot more interesting that way yeah enjoyed it and we talked about like man that was actually really nice maybe we should think about doing more intimate things in the future without a hurricane well it’s without a hurricane yes yeah without the hurricane part it’s a struggle for the district people because
They want to show you guys their respect through the Pomp and Circumstance yeah of the whole thing you know so we don’t want to think the Grand Lodge people to think we’re a Podunk little poor Community who can’t give you a good reception but at the same time I saw the
Value in it I think I I did too because personally the Pomp and Circumstance is not what excites me to begin with yes it’s the excitement of the brothers yeah right that’s that’s what and you got to feel it in that setting oh yeah and particularly the young Brothers the new
Ones cuz they always want to get your title right and they stumbled through it totally right and and you just want you just want to chuckle with them you have to remind them brother works it’s the greatest title any Mason has is brother it’s good for you to tell those new guys
That too it’s a message they really need to hear early on because it’ll stick with them as they become people of power and position and hopefully they’ll think the same way that you do sure they have to understand once you’re out of that position in the East you are back on the
Sidelines how apropo of you to say that since you are about to be there yourself again and I’m I’m staring it down I’m six months away from that you know and I know a lot of woral Masters that I’ve seen are very looking forward to that did you find yourself looking forward to
The end or did you find yourself just trying to enjoy the moment of it all and taking it all enjoy the moment all I think you always you got to look at it with a little good and sad sad to finish little Bittersweet right it is a
Bitter and sweet that’s the right word for it and particularly when you’ve got a good relationship with a guy coming behind you I am so proud that makes it a little easier to step away right I am so happy to see him have this opportunity
Yeah I mean it’s just so much fun to be out with the brothers because they they want to learn something they want to listen to you yeah so you got to make sure you got something something intelligent to say well that hasn’t been a problem for
You yeah that’s right some moments I I get Tongue Tied like anybody else U and I get tickled sometimes when somebody’s somebody’s doing something right in the middle of me trying to do something where I’m trying to look like I’m intelligent right yeah you know we
Like to see that our leaders are humans yeah I think it’s a good thing if you can uh laugh at yourself a little bit as a leader you know and it shows us it’s okay to make mistakes everyone every now and well it’s that’s true leadership
Though yeah it really is it really is I mean look there’s a place for it has to be done right and you have you have to you have to set the bar and set the standard I understand that but but to not take yourself so seriously that that
You lose perspective I’ve heard you talk about the brothers sitting here at least six times now and that’s that obviously that’s what’s important to you is the Brethren is is the craft the guys know yeah not the me it’s the we it’s yeah right yeah that’s great I always like
Remind myself that nothing that I’ve done successful has been me it has been the people around me right right it’s been the craft these guys are what makes it successful yeah and and people say that about you uh Mo most they say that I’m sure they say a lot of things about
Me oh yes especially lately gee no just kidding just mostly about the jeans thing yeah the jeans thing is a big deal of all the things you did it’s going to be the jeans thing that you’re for you know what’s funny about that um one thing I wasn’t 100% hooked on that to
Begin with right but I would I found it so interesting that the problems we have with membership money lodges conditions right in the last 20 years you saw more passion about one word jeans right that’s so ironic isn’t it yeah and you know people said you’re not you’re not
From a farming industry you don’t understand you must work to say I got news for I bailed hay in Indiana yeah I heard you saying that um today I come from I come from a farming family I come from a bunch of miners that’s important
For people to know I don’t did do people know this about you I didn’t know that about you you come from a a mining tell tell us a little bit about that oh my grand I don’t want to ever talk about this my uh grandparents on my mother’s side from Rockville
Indiana push for Rockville right yeah shout out to Rockville that’s right my great great grandfather I think is was his property they my grandfather and his Grand his dad actually mined under their own property wow wow yeah and uh some R Beverly hillbilly situation it’s rare because usually the mineral rights are
Owned by somebody else so that’s back in those days nobody thought about minerals right right yeah so they had their own mineral rights so they mined and farmed the land or just mostly in that property they M it was kind of hilly right yeah and rich with resources under there yeah
That part of the country absolutely they of course they didn’t strike it rich because you can see I’m not driving to Mercedes well everybody assumes to be a grand uh Lodge officer especially Grandmaster you have to be super wealthy like the average everyday Mason I hear
It all the time and I have no idea what it takes to do this or you know financially you you could set the story straight what does it take of a person to become a a grandmas financially it doesn’t doesn’t take a lot of wealth on
A personal basis okay it it takes a lot of Desire particularly so I’m still a working man really yes you managed to do all this and have a full-time job a full-time job wow wow I work in the IT industry so I can right look control my
Time a little better than some people sure but you still got to put it in oh yeah absolutely wow and you’re I did not know that I didn’t either well I knew you were an IT guy yeah but I thought you were retired right no uh in fact uh
See the previous Grand past Grand he still was still working I’m still working the incoming grandmas is still working um and none of us are wealthy I can tell you that right now that that word is kind of relative right yeah well but I will tell say that anybody that’s
Planning on running because you do got to do a lot of traveling on your own yeah right oh okay they don’t reimburse you for the travel huh not for that oh U it’s probably about between a 10 to $12,000 investment for a $75 Jewel right
Right yeah if if it were for the jewel but it’s not obvious yeah I get the pun though absolutely so uh you do have to be willing to put a little bit into it so the investment is more in time than it is money in reality absolutely and
It’s it’s an AB it’s an absolute labor of love and passion absolutely that that there is no the money those are numbers and I get the numbers I understand it that’s the story people tell themselves oh those guys are all rich and oh I hear
It all the time you know and it’s like I don’t know man you it it can’t be that you can’t get that far because it’s got to be passion it’s got to be a a love and a desire because I I I don’t know this for sure but you can confirm this
You take a lot of crap along the way man when you get to where you’re at you got to deal with a lot of stuff man and if it’s not a passionate labor of love it’s not going to be fun you’re yeah not it be excruciating in my opinion you do
Some but again it’s you just got to be willing to think it through in a lot of ways it’s it’s like running a lodge on steroids right oh boy and again you you highly rely on the experience of your secretary uhhuh to be help you through those humps and you’re
Lucky there AB our grand secretary don’t ever tell him I said this is an amazing individual don’t worry he doesn’t listen to the show he confirmed that listen to the show he just confirmed it this out of beep we have a delete button too sir
There we go but uh it’s you just have to be willing to think things through yeah do not let your emotions take over that’s the hardest part right for some people it is yeah me kind of midg ground there was things that somebody hit me
With I just had to take a several deep breaths before I spoke right that old count to 10 rule yeah yeah it’s um and mostly those are the when somebody did something bad right right and cuz you’re like I I surround my people good myself with good people right I don’t expect
That right yeah and and right and then it hits you upside the head and you got to take that step back um which I’m very bad at and not react um that’s why you’re not the grandm of Masons then you’re not The Grandmaster of Masons of Florida and and it’s very Masonic that’s
A very maxonic attitude right because circumscribe your passions circumscribe those passions man yeah be in control of yourself that’s right but that’s what good leadership looks like it’s not about you said it at the very beginning it’s not about me it’s about we and when
You take me out of the equation it’s a lot easier to not get so upset about things that’s right you have to you have to understand it is a team effort yeah absolutely yeah and I tell everybody when you’re the leader there’s two things you have to remember when it’s
Successful it’s the team mhm when it fails it’s you right right and that comes with the territory exactly you have to be willing to accept that even though it may not have been your idea it may have been not you out there doing it you are the one responsible yeah and do
Not lay it on anybody else’s lab yeah no that’s that’s true leadership that’s right so do you think your background in it helped you with this analytical thinking to problem solving and free definit my troubleshooting mentality because I’m I like to go through every start with the basic and step your way
Through it right you know wait till you can get up to the point of the solution yeah you have to do it patient again you have to take the emotion out of it you just work the problem it’s hard to do because we see it all the time in
Freemasonry no one’s rarely is anyone getting paid to do this stuff um it’s it really is a passion thing because we believe in the principles so much and they’re so important to us it’s so hard not to be passionate about things when they don’t go your way or you know what
I mean uh emo invested yeah because you are emotionally invested you are yeah and it’s hard to cut it off sometimes when it doesn’t you don’t get what you want or something bad happens right well you for me I I I try to defer you know so you’re you can be passionate your
Passions are you it’s who you are you know and when when somebody strikes at something you love dearly like that and you’re passionate about you’ve got to defer you yeah I’m angry and and what you did was wrong and I’m going to deal with this in the right way in a
Minute yeah right I’m going to defer the entire emotional package that I want to throw in your face I’m going to defer all of it until I I’m in a better place to deal with it uh in a masonic way and that like I said I just said it before
It’s that that’s a very Masonic attitude you’re circumscribing those passions we saw it today and you talked about it with uh I think we were talking about it with uh Richard Lynn because you proposed some uh it was a ruling in decision I believe that was out there
About the jeans specific I know it’s not just jeans but that was the thing right it was a dress code thing is what yeah dress code thing and uh the the your intention behind it almost everybody that spoke against it agreed with you I heard them all say I actually agree with
You right everyone agrees that this is a problem everyone on this show as well we totally do but at the same time they’re like but and I understand where they’re coming from cuz I’m sitting master and I had to read it to my Lodge and I had to
Beg them to please comply because I’m the one that someone could bring up on charges if something goes wrong so in my mind that’s where I’m going is whatever becomes law I have to execute right and if there’s unclear things I get worried because I could be held accountable to
This stuff and I know the spirit of it and I even told our lodge when I brought it up go ahead and bring me up on charges and let’s see how that goes that I didn’t let a guy come in because he didn’t have a tie on or you know
Something happened like I’ll gladly defend myself in that situation but I think that’s the hang-up as people get caught into that oh man that word could get me in trouble if I go this way or that way and you got caught in that semantic SCH so can you kind of if but
You held he held his uh temperament you didn’t get angry you weren’t like upset about the whole thing and even at the end we just moved on there was no heart feelings you know no absolutely not yeah and that was a great display of what you’re talking about being able to kind
Of separate yourself a little bit and not get overly emotional about things as a leader yeah well you have to accept the fact that not everybody’s going to agree with you because you’re so smart why are you laughing at me over that well I get it all the time access I
Still have access to that delete button do us both a favor and hit that do him the biggest favor well what what I was going to ask is if if you’re willing can you share with us a little bit of that just just the thought process because I
Know that regardless of of how it played out and I think in the end it’s going to end up becoming what it was but the thought process because I know I know it’s a problem what you were trying to do was from your heart for the better betterment of The Craft because that’s
What you always do but what was the thought process through it can you share a little bit of that with us the thought process of again there’s part of me that says thought about this says this is not going to pass right it’s just not going to
Pass but can I get everybody thinking about it you certainly have sir I I will tell you again repeating it of all the problems we have the word genes became right right a focal point for lit a fire did I mean I canot tell you the number
Of emails I got over jeans yeah right yeah yep and accusing me of violating the Constitution of the United States which by the way swear to they were going that far yeah some people were get getting passionate wow that’s crazy but I think you what you were saying is you
You started a conversation exactly and and I appreciate that because I for one do want to see better dressed men in our Liv that’s the thing we all do yeah we all do everyone even that opposed this literally said I actually agree with you I feel like we all agree this is a
Problem that has to be addressed I think it gives the opportunity for something a little better written m a little more refined to come out yeah yeah absolutely absolutely it wouldn’t surprise me if somebody didn’t bring up legislation next year to oh it wouldn’t surprise me
At all in fact if they’re not working on it maybe we should get working on it yeah absolutely I the conversation’s not over but it’s a good thing the conversation and the other thing I wanted to share with you is we have a a young uh a Mason brother his named Shan
Cooney who was in there oh yes he was in there during the discussion and he came out just absolutely Star Struck over witnessing a a a representative government system that worked it it really worked you know the guy in charge was proposing an idea that that the
People were not necessarily in line with there was discussion there was passion and in the end everybody agreed on not everybody liked the ideas that came out but everybody agreed that we’re moving forward in this direction and we’ll take it up again or and or what that was a
Perfect example in his eyes of of of representative government and for that I say and and the way you handled yourself was absolutely so utterly Masonic to him and to all of us it was it was a perfect example of of a government that worked it worked yeah and those moments of uh
Contention are when you have the biggest opportunity to to show who you really are right to people and you did it you did it you did it U he got chills he said I literally have chills yeah from what I just saw and I told him you know
We were doing this before we had an American government just like this oh yeah right and you think about it when you look at how we change power the moment he lifts Glenn lifts his hands off that Bible he is in charge right instantly there’s no this transfer
Of power that you see happening all the time recounting the hanging chat whatever the situation is you are in charge right I am now another brother out on the sideline smiling and cheering you on yeah yeah well you’ll never be just another brother you’re always going to be to us
Hope there’s no and it’s probably the wrong word saying just another brother because every brother is super important yeah but I’m get a chance to be now to watch the next leader take over yeah and there is no former government in the world that falls as accurately as Mason
Un absolutely true unfortunately that’s but we just need more masonry in government that’s what we need that’s another subject for another that would be another topic for another show and for another three-hour show because that one could go forever and ever absolutely but it’s true we need more masons in the
World what positive thing what one thing I don’t know if I already asked you this may I I didn’t um what what one thing what positive thing did you accomplish this year that you’re that you’re proud of that you’re that you’re going to look back on and say that you know I’m I’m
Happy not necessarily you did but your Administration and you accomplished that was uh you know um that was something that you’re that that you know that that you’re going to look back on fondly wow that’s a tough one over here guys we’re doing a show guys over here
Uh the grandm is needed in just two minutes for dinner okay so we can’t keep them too much longer well he is the grandm so that that can happen and uh and we are we’re going to he trumps our needs trust me he trumps our needs so um
All right so in that case in two minutes can you say no no okay none of the legislation none of the rulings to me that’s not the focus of all this right it was an opportunity to show the brothers I’m your brother I may be in
Charge today I will be sitting in the audience with you tomorrow I am your brother yeah to me there was so many people have caught that yeah I I I had a brother said you’re one of us absolutely that was exciting really yeah I’m like wow you know because I don’t I don’t
Need to be in the line like I don’t need when this is done for people Pat me on the bag you don’t seem like a guy who enjoys the Limelight terribly much like you need to have all the attention granted it’s fun but you have to also remind yourself constantly that this is
Going to be over yeah and you are you know we talking about P PGM P grandmas means Prestige gone man past Grand Prestige gone man yeah it you have to prepare your mind for that and you’ve been in the past DD gy past worshipful so you you’ve on smaller
Scales you’ve kind of been there and done that and you exactly you had some help right some background in this process already you get some experience through that yeah I think that’s one of the wisest things we do about being able to be in the grand lines you have to be
A past DD um because that least that way we know your feet have been in the fire right right you dread 2:00 in the call morning two in the morning call from the Grand Master saying I need you to swim by there tomorrow with a chain and lock
And please get that paper off the wall you you have nightmares about it right right sure but it’s just uh it’s that excitement well I I again I know you got to go and uh if we’re we’re we’re we’re big fans thank thank you for everything
You’ve done for us I I think it’s it’s agreed I think you’re going to be remembered for your your passion for for the guys your passion for the Brethren and I think that’s that’s a great way to be remembered and it is my hope that you won’t be on the sidelines because your
Love for the for the Brethren and your love for the craft needs to remain and it needs to continue into this new year and I know that it will I will work at the will of the grand Master there you go right that’s it that’s how you look
At it it’s either way it’s going to be exciting it’s going to be exciting here and Glenn Bishop I wish him nothing but the best yeah yeah it’ll make me proud if he’s super successful well maybe uh this time next year we’ll sit in the seat and we’ll talk about just how
Successful he was that’s it well he may being an ex marine you might have find a whole another thing but such thing as an ex marine I I keep for right that’s right all right well uh um I get the impression he’s not a guy who’s uh
Accustomed to failing though so I think he’s going to find a way to make it work he yeah he is a switchblade player he will not switch blade switch army knife player switch Swiss or switch Swiss okay Swiss Army I get a little tongue tin
