1:02
you followa Oklahoma time it's the daily
1:05
woo back in the day when I lived here
1:07
one of my first television experiences
1:10
actually happened right there there was
1:12
a local newscast that was out here and
1:14
they were filming something and they
1:15
needed some of the eala Oklahoma
1:17
residents that would be me and I was
1:19
standing behind the newscast person so
1:22
one of my first moments on television
1:24
happened right there right there at that
1:26
spot pretty fantastic this is Main
1:29
Street and a of course Foley Avenue you
1:32
can see the sign up there says Foley
1:33
Avenue my house for 2 and 1 half 3 years
1:37
was way down that way past the furniture
1:39
place stits Furniture over that way is
1:42
the post office of course original old
1:45
school post office right here there's no
1:47
Walmart here in this town there's not a
1:49
lot of things that have progressed in
1:51
fact it's pretty much exactly the same
1:53
there's a few things that have changed
1:55
slightly but most things are pretty much
1:57
exactly the same as when I left
2:00
24 years ago 23 years ago I pretty much
2:04
have two hometowns as a child that I
2:06
consider my hometown years growing up
2:09
there's eala Oklahoma and of course
2:11
nville Florida that we moved to actually
2:14
before we lived here we lived in nville
2:16
Florida and then we moved to eala
2:18
Oklahoma and then I moved to Central
2:20
Florida in 1991 and have been there ever
2:22
since of course when I'm traveling I'm
2:24
not in Central Florida but most of the
2:26
time when I'm not traveling I'm in
2:28
Central Florida St Cloud Florida
2:30
but you followa Oklahoma I consider this
2:34
home still consider this home and every
2:36
time I pass through here the emotions
2:38
come over me like a wave I want to show
2:40
you this here as well you see up here
2:42
where it says
2:43
1989 19 on that side and 89 on that side
2:47
the significance of this exact spot I
2:50
was in there with my friend JJ Barry was
2:53
one of my best friends I didn't have a
2:54
lot of friends here CU I was
2:56
homeschooled and the church I went to
2:58
this whole area is basically a fisherman
3:00
retirement towns there's not really a
3:01
lot of children so pretty much I only
3:03
had one or two friends and one of my
3:04
friends was JJ Barry that was a video
3:07
store we were inside the video store we
3:09
looked up the entire roof caught on fire
3:12
and the place burned down immediately
3:14
after we left the video store that whole
3:16
place was destroyed they rebuilt it a
3:18
few months later and that's the proof
3:21
right there
3:22
1989 so it burned down in ' 89 they
3:25
rebuilt it and that little date up there
3:27
is a significance that says 19 1989 I
3:31
just thought I'd throw that in there
3:32
just to prove to you that I was here in
3:34
1989 1990 and
3:38
1991 parts of that so basically 2 and
3:40
1/2 to 3 years you see the bank of you
3:43
fall asign there it's the backside and
3:45
of course my van I parked my van when I
3:48
lived here I was not able to drive
3:49
because I was too young I had a bicycle
3:51
and I would ride my bike all around well
3:54
not bikes I only had one I didn't have
3:55
the pr I can only afford one bike it's
3:58
pretty much like a hand me- down that
3:59
someone probably got my parents probably
4:01
got it at a garage sale or something of
4:03
that nature we didn't exactly have a lot
4:04
of money so basically I had a cheap bike
4:07
that I would ride around had this entire
4:09
town memorized I knew this entire town
4:12
like the back of my hand seriously even
4:14
though I didn't drive I can pretty much
4:16
tell you every nook and cranny of this
4:19
