Matthew McConaughey

Who was he before he started a business, before he was on a crusade, before he went to alternative medicines?

know the the the obvious thing people always talk about well how'd you lose all that weight that was not hard that was just a militaristic decision this is what i can eat each day and if i do this each day for a week i'll lose 2.5 pounds in a week so i'm going to give myself five months to do that 2.5 times that's 10 there's go there's 47 pounds that was like clockwork so that was easy that decision was made

I didn't go to the Pizza Hut buffet and have temptation in front of me.

I had certain meals.

I ate that and the weight just went off like clockwork.

It was the, who is Ron Woodruff in between the lines?

And what the gift I got given that gave me the insight to who that man was, was I went to see his family.

And as I was leaving, his family offered me his diary.

And I remember kind of hesitant going, wow, yes, but I kind of hesitated because it felt maybe a little too intimate of a thing for me to have.

I felt like it was kind of maybe infringing a bit, but I opened my hand and took it.

And what I got in the diary was I got to know who Ron was before he had HIV.

And little thing, the diary he'd write in and the dreamer he was and getting all set on a Sunday night and laying his shirt out and ironing it for the next morning, making sure that his little pager had fresh batteries in it because tomorrow morning he was going across town to hook up some speakers.

or 38 bucks or whatever.

And then getting up that morning and writing about what kind of coffee he drank and how much gas it was going to take to get over across town to do that job and hook up those speakers.

And then on the way over, Paige coming in to say, no, we don't need you.

We've gone with somebody else to hook them up.

And here he was all buttoned up, two cups of coffee in, hair slicked over, shirt ironed.

A little less than half a tank of gas, but enough to get back home.

I'm just going to go to Sonic and get a double cheese bacon burger because Sheila over there, man, she's kind of cute.

Hanging off till Sheila gets off the work.
