Yeah, that makes your all phones
on vibrate by the way, yeah,
is your phone on vibrate yeah,
left it over there and it's on
vibrate Mark lampkins here today.
How are you doing?
Well thank you like I I dressed appropriately
since you just came back from Jamaica.
I'm so boring.
Just came back from Jamaica.
Big no. You do tell me about it.
I'm glad I went the resorts beautiful,
the oceans beautiful.
It took me an entire day just to relax.
Get on Jamaica time we're so used to
fast pace and it's like 20 minutes
to get a beverage and I'm like.
What's going, what's going on, and like Mon,
Mon, settle down you're on Jamaica time
wonderful and I mean I mean it
was part business part fun it was
but that's the best kind, right?
And that you get Jen and I got to
go reconnect. We took our managers
and I can't say enough about Jamaica
just slowing down there. Did you?
We didn't. We probably should
have should have. I would have.
You should have had a great time crew here.
It's just a great time and I even tried
to grow the beard, which I can't do.
He tried but it didn't work, you know,
and you guys were down there and I
think what this this business work.
Personal trip kind of fell on
your wedding anniversary too.
I've been married 118 years.
What I heard what I heard 28 years.
Best part about this y'all is that
his Facebook posts to Jennifer.
It's like I love you know you
take celebrations on Facebook
and you let everybody know.
I love Jennifer so much and
blah blah blah you're OK marks
read something like this.
I've been married to Jennifer for like 27.
2829 you couldn't
figure out the years as you,
so you know, that's the bad.
I'm like I love you, but I don't remember
like a really really long time
and you're everything you know.
And she had like a really cute
response there, you know.
But Ohh wow, and that's sort of
the there was just a picture up
there where I had the glasses on.
To this day she makes fun of me and I I just,
you know I'm an honest man.
I was so hungover on her wedding day.
I couldn't wear my contacts so
those glasses are so big I could
like see the future. That that's your
wedding picture. See the future in
those glasses. And that's
why we've been together.
32 years something and I said
I've been married, 28 and I stopped
it years. And then I say minutes.
And that's a long time underwater.
Mark look at this. There it is.
I can see the future in those glasses.
That's why I love my wife. I knew it
was meant to me. I kept thinking
I didn't know Mark wore glasses.
Did on that day. Only when I'm hungover.
Nice have been really, really hung over.
But did Jennifer have a really nice time
down there too? We had a great time
and as I mentioned, the diversity of
our our our we have the Venezuelan
and Columbian African American and
we got to spend time with people
that we never get to spend time
with and just blend our views.
And this is like your crew,
each other from champion sales
and Jennifer's down there.
We were there right before Derby.
We were at champion sales
and lease off of Taylor Ave
right near Churchill Downs.
We got to meet the entire team.
We got to change,
you know we change people's
lives with enable them to
have the nicer things in life.
But to blend that staff and the diversity
and just the bond and what made it special.
One of our managers from Venezuela.
He hadn't seen his mother in four years.
Think about what a different culture.
And coming back from Jamaica,
I took a fishing boat.
These kids make $100 a month
US I tipped amisha $100.
They hugged me and kissed me,
thought they won the lottery.
They're like when is this man coming back?
When can you get a champion sales?
At least in Jamaica
and they were such nice kids worked
their butts off and I told my children
about just the work ethic. He Claudia.
He walks in an hour to catch the
bus to get to work before he works.
Yeah, so it's it made me stop,
pause and think about how lucky
we have it in this country.
And we don't even realize
it. And I think sometimes
we take it all for granted.
You know, we see so many kids today.
It's like you get everything
you want and then you go.
You take a trip and you realize
the perspective of like you said,
a young kid making $100 a month
thinking that is everything you know.
But I think that instills in them.
Don't you think too?
You just know the promise
they're going to have in this
future to continue to work hard?
That that could be your next
partner in a business market.
It makes you. I really would.
These kids, the work ethic.
Yeah, it makes me want to make my
children go overseas and see the culture
because we as Americans have so much
more in common than we do differences
and I think social media makes us
not realize that and it made me take
them. We don't want to
be like everybody else.
I don't want to be like you and my views,
you know, and I think like you said
to be with that Group A diverse
group on a vacation and to take
the time to hear about what was,
what's your life like, what?
What is your life like like?
Where have you come from and to
sit and have a conversation blue my
mind is what we kind of need more of
made me appreciate my kids.
Yeah my wife we reconnected.
It just made me realize I'm proud
to be an American and I love it.
Yeah, and I get to come do stuff like
this with you and I'm on a fishing
boat with a kid that walks in an hour.
I get to be with the Venezuelan and
celebrating 100 and I really Jennifer
change lives celebrate 100 and 1518 years
28 minutes underwater is a long time.
The best line. I have a client, he said.
And then we gotta go to break.
No go no. So he's like I've been. I've
been happily married 25 years and
that's not bad out of 50. Right? Right?
We're we're getting some of you knows,
I love you, honey, I love you.
She is like that's just great part.
She is the boss.
She is the big time but no questions
alright so stick around marks to
be here the entire hour we have
plenty more things to talk about.
We also have a really fun show ahead.
We're going to check in at little
Mount Lavender and you know what?
Wait to see that I can't wait to buy
that for Jennifer and my daughter said
they're going to hold you to that.
And we're gonna spin the wheel and
we're gonna toss it on over to ohh,
that's some banal things to that.
If you like me too, yeah,
absolutely let's send it
over to great day lives.
Now you list Spencer.
