My YouTube feed has gotten pretty boring with the writer strike going on, but somehow I was able to see this clip and I watched the entire five minute video, and I cried! I cried, because I no longer can control my emotions at all, and I was reminded of driving to Barwis with 11-year-old Sean next to me.
The specific memory, I was thinking of was days after Robin Williams died, and we were listening to The Pulse on the way to Barwis for my training. Sean didn’t mind coming with me back then because professional athletes were training at the same time I was.
The DJ started speaking and mentioned Robin Williams death and challenged the listeners to call in and tell them then favorite low-key Robin Williams movie, and give a reason. Oh, that was easy for me! Duh! Good Will Hunting and my reason for this being my choice was the ease with which Robin Williams dropped an F-bomb!
I was still driving when Sean was 11 so I had him call the radio station and I told him what to say when they answered the phone! He was not connected and I was glad because retrospectively, I now realize that was NOT appropriate at all!!!
