Yeah, let's give them some, you know, so that they're not confused when one of the kids brings up Moses or Noah or somebody. Who are you talking about? So let's give them a little foundation. And within two Sundays of going there, I was being pierced. As I sat and listened to this Pastor, Kevin Meyers, and he's talking about what's more important in your life, happiness or wholeness?
Who's the provider in your family? I'm the provider and all about happiness. And he's like, well, you miss both of those. And the more I dove into that and explored it and opened up this Bible that I'd never opened up.
Like I'm being stabbed. Like he's talking directly to me and it's just piercing my heart. I'm missing out on a lot of stuff. And I'm missing out on it because I think I've put this... Because your values are wrong. I've put this job up here, I've elevated it to this. And the only church, the only altar I was worshipping at was Rudy Martzky. The media critic for the USA Today.
What do people think about the job I'm doing? And especially not just viewers, but Rudy.
Oh yeah. And again, and even today, I mean, that's the question I get most. I talk to a lot of Businessmen, viele Unternehmen. Und immer die erste Frage ist, wie man das Werk und das Zuhause vergleichen kann. Und das ist nie... Es ist keine einfache Antwort. Es ist nicht... All I can tell them is, you have to be intentional.
You have to make... You have to look at what your schedule is telling you you should do and saying, but is there time in here? Where I can do this for my wife. Where I can do this for my kids. Where instead of what it used to be was, no, that's a work day. No, can't do it. No, is that for real? Could you not work something in here?
Because I tell those same folks, I say that kids have superpowers. They see and hear everything. And they remember everything. They remember when you paid attention. They remember when you weren't there, when you could have been there. And they're accepting, I know, and I was too of my dad. I know that work took him on the road a lot and he missed a lot of stuff.
Sie und ich sagen das immer. Ich sage auch den Leuten, wenn sie wirklich mit ihrer Frau Punkte zählen wollen, Next time you're in a social setting and somebody, you know, another couple is with you, well, how long have you guys been married? You're playing the role of my wife right now. And they say, well, how long have you been married? You say, not long enough. It's pretty good. It's not bad.
That's good for 36 holes.
She says that I make her laugh. And I just think the key is just pulling on the rope the same way and having... having the same goal. Look, I'm a sportscaster, my wife's a world changer, and I've told people that forever, because she's the one who got us into adoption in the first place. You know, she's the one who has devoted her life at various phases to helping the addicted, the sex-trafficked,
Und jetzt die Unabhängigen. Und sie ist immer daran eingeschränkt. Und ich habe sie immer für das ausgesehen, und nicht nach innen. Und wie kann ich helfen? Und das war es. Look, I outkick my coverage big time.
And the thing is, I make her laugh and most of that's unintentional.
Das ist für mich garantiert. Ich kann das nur sagen, hey, ich werde das lösen. Weil ich versuche, etwas um die Haustür zu reparieren, ist immer Futter für die nächsten sechs Monate.
I did learn that from my dad. Oh, Cheryl's dad is awesome. My father-in-law can fix anything and can build anything. I've returned a hammer to Home Depot because it didn't have instructions. I mean, I'm clueless.
And I got that from my dad, too, because my mom, my late mother, said, your dad's the only man in America who's never been in a Home Depot.
Yeah, sometimes it's not really uncomfortable. You know, sometimes it's kind of cool. Like... In the hallways the other day, there's a guy who'd been at Turner for a long time, who used to work on some of the Braves broadcasts when my dad was still calling games. And I saw him the other day and I said, how you doing, kid?
Und er hat einfach aufgehört und gesagt, Mann, du klingelst wie dein Vater, wenn du das sagst. Er hat mich immer als Kind genannt. Und ich war so, danke, ich mag das.
No, without question. I mean, and that's, you know, when I wrote Unscripted, Sieben Jahre her. Und das ist ein Begriff, der die Show, die wir machen, beschreibt, aber auch die Art, wie wir unsere Leben leben. Und wenn du verheiratet bist und du hast einen Jungen und eine Mädchen und du hast das, was jeder sieht, dann hast du es.
beautiful wife, you got a great job, you got a boy and a girl, bang, you know, set sail. And then she, you know, Cheryl Ann sees 2020 one night and sees all these Romanian orphans and then comes to me and says, you know, what I think we need to do is we need to go to Romania and get one of these kids. And I'm like, No, really. Are you serious? Yeah, this would be great.
We need to investigate this. And we do. We investigate it. She goes over with a group. I stay home with Eric and Maggie. She's more worried about them hanging with me with no vegetables in the house for two months. Als ich bei ihr in Rumänien war, war es in 1991, wer weiß, was da los ist. Es ist nicht so, als hätte jeder ein Telefon. Und dann hörst du, wie sich die Regeln immer verändern.
