Mike in “Unfinished Business”

Mike

Hey, Mike Baxter here for Outdoor Man, here to talk about, well, talking. It's one of my favorite hobbies. A wise man once said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.". And then it was said an even wiser man said to that guy, "Look, jackass, listen up. You might learn something.". All right, you got me. I'm the second wise man in that story. Let's be honest, if nobody's talking, then nobody's listening. If nobody's listening, nobody's learning. And if nobody's learning, then good TV shows get cancelled. They will. But even in our country and even within our families, not communicating seems to be the weapon of choice right now. We un-friend, un-like, and un-follow instead of trying to understand each other. Now, it doesn't matter which side you're on, although one side literally has the word "right" right in it. If we just hunker down in our separate corners, nobody wins. Except Location Services on your phone. In America, we've always been able to have tough conversations. Civil rights, Vietnam, the human hot potato Kanye West. He's yours. Uh, no, yours. You can have him. No, he's not ours. He's like, yours. You can have him. No, we don't. Literally, we don't want him. So to the families of America and to the American family, keep talking. Unless you know a smarter guy with better ideas is talking, then you could just listen to him. Baxter out.
