John Jaynes was the sheriff, was strung up by Quantrill's raiders during the Civil War.

Kid you not.

This is Americana in my family, Chris.

And he married Mary Ellen in Olathe, Kansas.

And that's pretty much what I know about him.

But I'm going to make a prediction about good old Leroy.

He never came home to Mary Ellen and said, honey, I had a panic attack behind the mule today.

His brain was working the way it was supposed to.

I promise you that his life behind the mule, looking at a mule's butt, was pretty boring moment to moment.

But he was not bored.

His life wasn't boring because he was living a real life.

But a lot of people today who've figured out a way by checking the screen and living online and living the hustle and grind culture that's been engineered out of Silicon Valley and various other places around the world, Hyderabad and wherever you want, that not being bored from moment to moment gives them the most boring lives possible.

Of course, of course.

Me too.

I'm like a senior version of you, man.

Except you're not going to be bald.

You're going to have to lose a lot of hair, I know.

If I had your hair, I'd be President of the United States right now.

I think you would.

Yes and no.
