Starting point is 00:05:47 I was in Vietnam for a year. Yeah. And I said that in the bio actually. Yeah. And, uh, I, uh, man, the hospital command post in the evenings. Okay. So, you know, it's, uh, most people like Alan and yeah, the mash. And I was responsible for, you know, if anything happens, we were attacked or if a plane came in on a wing and a prayer, then I would notify everybody and send the ambulances out to the flight line, whatever, and do that. So I was responsible that I also worked a medevac and I was responsible for moving patients through the
Starting point is 00:06:27 aeromedical evacuation and recording all the deaths and patient situations. So it was an experience. Well, one day I got off work and I was it was seven in the morning and I went back to my hooch and I was back there and I saw all these security police standing around and I'm going, what the heck's going on? Did they find my stash? So but anyway, they turned out there was next door neighbor, a guy that lived next
Starting point is 00:07:09 door. He had a sick little girl girlfriend that was a VC major. She had they caught her with a transmitter and receiver. Oh, she was there to plot out us medics. So that race Yeah, that was one experience. And then, um, about a month after I was there in Vietnam, um, a sapper, uh, snuck on base and blew up our ammo dump. And so there, uh, you know, there were clusters of five, 500 pound bombs going off all night
Starting point is 00:07:42 long. And so when it started, I was, you know, having a break outside the emergency room with my buddy. We're having a cigarette break. And then we were talking to this Army Master Sergeant who just came in from the bush. And, you know, we're just sitting there talking and all of a sudden we see this flash, brilliant flash like you know the sky lit up like the sun and then a loud boom and you know I looked at my buddy and I we looked around the master sergeant was gone we couldn't see him so he was there was a three foot high brick fence around the hospital and he jumped behind there so you know as soon as we saw him there we we got
Starting point is 00:08:28 our asses down there yeah anyway it's pretty long yeah there was uh in the mix of the bombs there was you know napalm and agent going off so we were you know breathing that stuff for weeks anyway Going off so we were you know breathing that stuff for weeks. Anyway, he's Wow and you're still alive today So that's good cuz that's I'm still alive Yeah, I did a still Vietnam to most people don't believe because I look so young and Yeah, I I killed about 20 Charlie's And yeah, and then I got on a plane this week and came back. It was just a vacation There you go, but I it's good it's good to play on people because I'll be like I was in on me They're like what I'll tell him I have a plate in my head. Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:18 And and then you know, I do the bit about how I was this other last week Anyway, go ahead. Finish a finish your story of life. So anyway, uh, I taught, uh, uh, I was asked to, uh, cover a class. I was teaching English to Vietnamese civilians on who worked on base. And so that was interesting. I got to know the people and you know, it was a good relief from the day to day grind. So anyway, did that and then moved on to after NAMM, I went to England. I was at RAF Alconbury and that was fun. England was a big difference from Vietnam.
Starting point is 00:10:15 So moved on there and I was a non-commission officer in charge of the registrar services in the clinic there. And so it was a reconnaissance base and during the Cold War and we did recon missions and we had an army detachment to interpret the photographs that you know our guys took. So it was an interesting part of you know the Cold War and NATO and all that good stuff. So anyway where was I? Cold War in Europe? Yeah in England. England. Interesting, interesting story. I had a doctor friend of mine that did a operation on my, I had a cyst on my arm so he took that off so I asked him if he could do my circumcision as well? How old were you
Starting point is 00:11:27 How old are you Yeah, I was what was how I was about 21 22 the adults Yeah riot yeah, and you know one of the one of the gals there was saying oh, that's not code for getting married Right Fred's having a bar mitzvah Coach for getting married Anyway, I get that in the masculine mix. Yeah He did the circumcision and here's he's a good friend of mine years late well
Starting point is 00:12:04 after that happened, my friend, I was groggy from the anesthesia, and a friend of mine took me over to another friend's house, and we were sitting there for about 20 minutes, and all of a sudden my friend turns on these blue movies, porn, right? I just had a circumcision, and I'm going, heck, I'm gonna bust my stick. Nice friends. and Uh, I had, uh, friends of mine that were, uh, um, I lived with and, you know, he had
Starting point is 00:12:47 an MG midget and three of us took off in an MG midget and toured Europe. Oh, that'd be fun. It was, it was, wait, three of you in a MG, MG midget. Yeah. Is that, yeah, I was, I was stuffed in the back. So they put you in the truck. Yeah. I was on it or whatever. So they put you in the trunk.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah. I was with a bonnet or whatever. I was a lot lighter than back then. Is the bond at the front of the back in England? Oh, the bond. Yeah. There's the front and the back and they call the front something different. I think it's the front.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you were in the bonnet. You were in the trunk baby. Yeah. So there you go. I don't know. I don't know. Ever since we overthrew those English people, I don't, I don't have much respect for whatever English terms, but they're wonderful people. Yeah, the King's. It was a lot of fun. I had a lot of friends in Kings College, Cambridge that we were introduced to and they remained friends. When I left England, they had a going away party for me in the basement of Kings College.
Starting point is 00:13:56 A friend had a band and a guy I worked with was blowing saxophone and it was a fun time. So I left, left England, came, went to Houston. And there was a summer job waiting for me in Houston. And so a friend of mine that I grew up with his father was building slabs and Houston was a boom town back then I was really growing and this was in 1975 and worked the summer there and then started the U of H that next semester. Well, you know, as things go, you know, the VA benefits kind of fizzled out. So I had to get a job and go to work. So I met a friend in one of my classes that worked at Joscies and he said they had an
Starting point is 00:15:02 opening so I tried out and got it and worked part-time there. And then did that for a while. And then I went to Herman Hospital, which was the oldest hospital in the area there in Houston, and they became medical record supervisor. So there I managed eight employees and we managed to convert 35,000 medical records from alpha filing to terminal digit. So I did that in about two months and got bored with that.
Starting point is 00:15:42 So my friend called me back from Josky said, hey, there's another position open for you over here. And so I went back there and worked my way up from, night credit guy to authorizations manager, and then to assistant collection manager. I was one of the first guys they put through the executive training program that didn't have a degree at that time. So that was an achievement.
Starting point is 00:16:18 And there, one of my employees that had given notice, uh, I asked her out. Of course I didn't date an employee while there's work there, but anyway, asked her out and, uh, we started dating and, um, she became my wife and then we had a son, um, so. Yeah. That's usually what happens. It starts with the dating and then the kids show up. That's yeah, there's a connection there, but they figured out what's going on there.
Starting point is 00:16:50 You probably heard about it. So, so, uh, you know, in all this, um, we, uh, decided to move out into the country because, you know, my new wife, her dream was having a horse. So we got her a horse and we stabled the horse and that become, became too expensive. So we moved out into the country and got a four bedroom farmhouse. Um, and so did that. Yeah, I was, there you go. It's quite the, quite the journey you have there. And so you detail this and basically
Starting point is 00:17:32 the book is a memoir. I will get by. Correct. And it's all, it's all in the book. And basically, after after Jostkes, I went into my friend introduced me to a treasurer who was looking for a collection guy. So I went into interview and you know, we hit it off the bat right away. So I went to work collecting joint interest billings and you know joint interest billings is when you go when a company an exploration company goes out and wants to drill a well they get joint venture partners and each partner has a percentage in that well in that well I'm sorry that well. In that well, I'm sorry, that well. Anyway, if they have a 10% interest and we start drilling, then they owe 10% of the operating costs
Starting point is 00:18:36 and the drilling and operating costs. So once that well produces, they get 10% of the revenue that comes out of the well. So that's how that works. So what I did, I collected both joint interest billings and I collected revenue from the transportation companies that transported the product. So it was interesting. Yeah. And it was, you know, I was collecting million dollar receivables, millions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:19:08 And so eventually at that company, I collected myself out of a job. So I started interviewing, they, I, they were having problems. So I started interviewing for my second company. And so they, they hired me on and I was their credit and collection supervisor and did the same thing So You know, it's in the year you're a negotiator really what you're doing when you're doing the collections and and You're really a negotiator and. And once you get that big check in, well, you wanna celebrate.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I had a bell I would ring and I would go around the floor doing a victory lap. So it was a good experience. But anyway, it got to the point where I, uh, I picked up, uh, a $5 million check from one of our trans, uh, protection people. And, uh, I came back and the guys said, well, uh, to the CFO and the CFO says, well, you know, Fred, I have to let you go. Um, because they were downsizing and they were going out of business. So you get the $5 million check. Um, yeah, I tried to, no, he would, he fired.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It's mine now. He ripped it out of my hands. Said, Oh, gotta let you go. Said good collection work though. Good. Wow. Gee, thank you. Five million dollars.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Wow. Anyway, yeah, it seems like you'd want to keep a guy like you around. I've, I've had hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to us in collections and we've had to go to small claims over the decades that deal with it. And, uh, you know, and it's, it's such an annoyance, but, um, it's, uh, you know, uh, good collectors, like really important. And, and last time I checked, you're always going to have collections to collect on You know some people that don't pay their bills
Starting point is 00:21:10 So, I don't know that seems like very short-sighted as a business. Yeah, maybe a lesson there so the next company I worked for I Started the credit function there and You know it's a lesson too because when you work for somebody, some people have the idea that you make your manager look good. Well, that's good to a certain extent, but if your manager takes all the credit for what you do then you have to work around that so, you know, that's a another life lesson in itself but anyway, I did that and I Basically
Starting point is 00:21:58 Created the credit function and I started the credit marketing function as well where we got, I negotiated contracts for gas sales agreements and, you know, gas sales contracts. So, that was fun. And I worked with land legal and all of that. And you, you pretty much have to, you know, work things the way you call it because you're there, you're on the floor, you know, you know what's going on. And usually, you know, the people above you
Starting point is 00:22:40 don't have a clear picture. They have, you know, like a box, everything has to fit in. And a lot of times things don't fit in the box. So you have to work around that. And that's basically the lesson that I learned. And, well, all my kids, all my kids are grown, well, my kids are grown. They're all responsible and, uh, that's unfortunate. They have good jobs. Cheap kids like me. No, they're all good. They're all good. Um, I had, I had five, five kids. He must've done something right though.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. It's a pat have done something right though. Yeah, I guess so It's a pat on the back right there. Yeah Two were my own and I had three stepkids. So oh, yeah That was that was good. So the lesson the lesson I give and I you know, like everybody to take away from this book is And I, you know, like everybody to take away from this book is sometimes you got to take the bull by the tail and face the situation. The bull by the tail and face the situation. Give us a, some depth on that.
Starting point is 00:23:53 If you would WC fields. Ah, wait, you have an alcohol problem. No there comes a time in the affairs of men. We must take the bull by the tail and face the situation. There you go. Well, that's the dragon. Yeah. Like it's just sometimes in life, you have to, uh, face adversity and, and hardship and, you know, people will dump on you, you know, like the bull. And so, you know, you have to, you have to, uh, rise above that and keep on pushing.
Starting point is 00:24:24 And once you keep pushing, you have to you have to rise above that, and keep on pushing. And once you keep on pushing, it's, you know, it'll work out. It's just like, I was in my manager's office one day, we were reading the Wall Street Journal. And we were saw how Enron was having difficulties. We could see that, you know, you could see that online. You could see that in the journal and the papers and just negative things were happening.
Starting point is 00:24:54 So I got with our oil marketing guys because we were selling oil to Enron. And we said, well, how much are we doing and you know what can we do to stop it if we need to so we were selling about three hundred thousand dollars a month in oil and if we needed to we could stop it you know and tank it so I went up back to my manager and I said, you know, well, you know, listen, we got to do something about this So he says, okay Put it in a memo so I did I put it in a memo and he shot it all the way up and went all the way up to the CEO and
Starting point is 00:25:40 So we stopped that the next next day we got a call from So we stopped that the next next day. We got a call from You know the head legal counsel at Enron saying threatening to sue us over the breach of contract because we stopped the sales So three days later three days later the file three days later the file of bankruptcy I was just gonna say like you guys were the unethical ones next to right I was just going to say like you guys were the unethical ones next to me. Right. Right. So that was a shit show, man. It was a complete nutter shit show, but crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Yeah. We dodged a bullet there. So, oh yeah. All the, all the shell companies. I mean, that whole company was shell companies, I think. I recall it anyway. The kids right now are going Right
Starting point is 00:26:28 there you go So the moral of this book and the story is keep on pushing don't give up your if you're right, you know, you're right and uh, even if people try to Say no. No, that's not right. That's not right. Just keep on going because you'll get there eventually and things will work out. So there you go. I will get by. Give us some depth on why you chose that title. The obstacles I encountered, Vietnam, I encountered, uh, Vietnam, um, England.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Um, you saw some, I mean, you lived in some very interesting times. The old Chinese curse made a little bit of interesting times and you lived in some, you know, the cold war. Vietnam was a hard time. Of course, when people came back from Vietnam, there was, uh, you know, he had Nixon, that was fun. Right. Yeah. Victory. Yeah. That's my bad. Nixon. We had, or we had, it wasn't Ehrlichman. We had somebody on from the Nixon White House
Starting point is 00:27:34 a year or two ago. He was one of the staff and he'd finally written a book and told his story. So it was kind of interesting, but yeah, he was my commander in chief. Nixon or Ehrlichman? Nixon. Yeah, I guess, yeah, that's right. Yeah, technically. Yeah, that would be the thing. It was kind of interesting how they won, run that war with the college degree boys who were trying to, you know, they were trying to get reporting in numbers back.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Like at one point they wanted body, like a head or proof, proof of kills brought back. And you're like, you want me to drag that through the jungle, buddy? It's really weird to read about Vietnam stuff, but I was there last week and, uh, there's still Charlie's over there. So I don't know. I keep getting calls though, from the consulate. So I don't know what that's about. So, uh, I will get by.
Starting point is 00:28:26 So your message to people is you can get through this. You can survive. You can, you can, um, just keep, just keep plowing on, you know, there's an old rule that I've heard people say that, I don't know if this is similar. You tell me, but sometimes half the battle is just showing up. Right. Yeah. is just showing up. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's showing up, doing the work.
Starting point is 00:28:49 You know, I like the analogy, eat the elephant one by the time. Sometimes when I feel really overwhelmed by something, I just go just eat the elephant one by the time let's just start on the outside and work our way in the plate exactly. And, uh, you know, one bite, chew, chew Exactly. And, uh, you know, one bite, chew, chew a lot and, uh, you know, take, you know, take whatever, if you get, takes time, it takes time. It's just the way it's going to have to be. But the only way you get started is to start, right? Right. Right. So inspiring Testament to the power of perseverance.
Starting point is 00:29:23 inspiring testament to the power of perseverance. I'm having a seizure. I have an early, uh, inspiring testament to the power of perseverance. Uh, within each page, Fred reminds us of their, how our past shapes us. And no matter the obstacles we face, we can emerge stronger and more resilient than ever. And what a great story too. How old are you now? If you don't mind me asking.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I'm 74. You've lived a wonderful life, man. You've seen, you've seen some things. Yeah. I've got a 24 year old girlfriend. Oh, yeah. Do you really? Oh, just kidding. I was gonna say, God bless you.
Starting point is 00:29:57 In fact, I was just reading that Bill Belichick, maybe there's a rumor he might be marrying that young lady. Yeah. I heard they got engaged somehow. Is that what it is? they got engaged somehow. Yeah. Is that what it is? They got engaged. Well, good for her. Um, and good for him too. I'm all, you know, love, love finds itself in weird places.
Starting point is 00:30:15 So, uh, there you go. And besides, I mean, he is the goat of football coaches. I mean, yeah. And even Tom Brady can do where the fuck they want for us. Her life. Really? Exactly. Free beers. So there you go. They, they even Tom Brady could do where the fuck they want for us their lives really exactly beers
Starting point is 00:30:25 So there you go. They get a pass although I'm still trying to forgive Tom Brady for For the Raiders stealing the Raiders Super Bowl, but that the whole What was that thing the clutch or the pitcher the forward motion of the arm? I forget. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, that was a bunch of that was the Raiders game should have been anyway Going downhill ever since but that's a coaching problem It's the family get rid of them. Anyway, um so my next book my next book is gonna be about I
Starting point is 00:31:00 think The CIA approaches me as a 74 year old. Oh, serious? Yeah, and they're going to team me up with a 24 year old blonde. Oh, okay. And so, you know, we're gonna go. It sounds like a movie.
Starting point is 00:31:15 It sounds like a movie premise. And you're like Clint Eastwood, and you're looking at the gal, I forget the name of this movie, but there was the one gal from, she later went on the series with the two gals that were detectives, Cagney and Lacey, I think it was. Yeah, Cagney and Lacey.
Starting point is 00:31:30 It was the brunette gal. And I forget the movie of, but you know, he's like, he's like, what am I, you want me to put an old man with this young lady and she's, you know, green behind the ears, fresh out of, you know, police school. I'm going to get my ass blown off. So there you go. But I mean, that's usually what happens when old guys get with young women. Uh, they get their ass blown off financially.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Maybe it'll be a fun book. So this, so is this a real story that's happening to you or is this going to be a novel? Oh, it's going to be a novel. Okay. You had me going. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah. It's going to be from this point onward, you know My first book is from like that and this is your wife know you're writing this story Well, no, i'm divorced i'm single. Oh, you can write whatever the hell you want. That's right I was just gonna say if you were married your wife would be like you write a book about a 25 year old girl Uh, how much of that uh bill, bill bell check stuff you've been watching. Yeah, there you go. I mean, that might be a good thing.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Sean con I could see you doing a Sean Connery sort of role, you know, uh, CIA, which is kind of like the, what is it? Am I six? Am I five or six? Or might be IMS seven by now. Who knows? Um, so they go, well, anything more you want to, huh?
Starting point is 00:32:51 It's all in fun. All in fun, all in fun. Don't arrest me in my six. Uh, so there you go. But I wouldn't mind hanging out with James bond. That might be cool. So whichever one they're putting in this week, uh, they bought this, I guess Amazon bought
