Kendrick Perkins Says Racial Bias Plays Role in NBA MVP Voting
"Kendrick Perkins. What's this guy's deal? I'm not familiar with him terribly much. He was a subpar NBA player and he's above average broadcaster, but he does, this is not abnormal for him to do. And he is not white. That is correct. All right, so take a listen, cut forward to this guy's very upset because a white guy may be in the running here. Got 14. JJ, I need to know. Is the uchu Wally or is it one mic? I need to know when it comes down to the criteria moving the gold post for the MVPs because I understand you and the analytics. I understand you are a story you know the game of basketball, but I went and did a little research myself and since 1990 has only been three MVPs. That wasn't top ten in scoring that one letter ward. The whisky, Steve Nash, and yogurts. Now with all, what do they have in common? I let it sit there and marinate. I'm just trying to see, you know what I'm saying? When I walk into the club, do I need my J zone or is it a dress code? Do I need to put another, you know, a church shoes or some red bottoms or I need a note. Is it uchu Wally or is it one might? Like, what's the criteria when moving the gold post for certain players to win the MVP? I need to know. Because it seemed about the gold post move every single time where we want to push it out there, this particular pill that we want to win every piece 'cause we all know in 2006 when Kobe was averaging 31 when the Lakers were the 7 seed and the roster that he had compared to Steve Nash and Steve Nash won his second consecutive MVP in 2006, was he really supposed to win that? Was he really supposed to outdo COVID that year? I'm just trying to figure it out, bro, I'm trying to get on understanding what's the criteria why the goal posts move for certain players is the utility or is it one might carry on? So this is

Kings use 3-goal second period to power past Islanders 3-2
"The king scored three goals in the second and it was all they'd need in a three two win over the islanders. LA controlled most of the play in the first and finally got on the board with a Philip danault goal 6 40 into the second and that broke the seal, Arthur Callie F scored about a minute and a half later, then gave villardi scored again four minutes after that. New York cut the lead to three two in the third, but unlike their last game against New Jersey, the kings held on. Dano says building a big lead was huge. Especially on the back to back to where you want to get going right away in kafur as many goals you can right away. The wind gave the king's points in 7 of their last 8. Wally geiss, elmont, New York

"Why wasn't it enough? Why wasn't it scratching that itch? Yeah, great question, man. I always wanted to, I actually had several businesses while I was on active duty. You know, everything from multiple marketing to actual other almost kind of brick and mortar businesses that were somewhat mobile. I've always been entrepreneur in my entire life. And I've studied entrepreneur, I got a bachelor's degree in the master's degree, but investors should be in business administration. And I just wanted to call my own shots. I didn't want to have to punch that time card so to speak. So the podcast started because while I was still in Hawaii, I was literally living on the beach in Hawaii. I was working at triple-A medical center still able to kayak across Pearl Harbor as part of my commute. And I was just living this amazing life of abundance. But here's how it started. I'm sitting on the beach. Well, 7 8 o'clock in the morning maybe had probably this same exact mug because I've had this for years. Sitting in the gazebo, my son's probably 6 at the time playing in the water. And he's like, dad, come and come and play, come in the water. It's great, you know? And I'm like, yeah, hold on. I had my head set on. Listen in the pet Flynn or somebody like that. Learning how to make that extra hundred K, right? Now, when his facial expression changed from excitement to disappointment, it just hit me. It was like, what the hell are you doing, man? You literally living I don't know if I said a life of abundance, but you're literally living your best life. And your family's your middle son and wife are still asleep in the house directly behind you. Got this beautiful kid that wants to play with you. And it was like my wife hit me in the back of the head Sam Wally, what the hell are you chasing? This year told me so many times before I just never really heard. I heard it this day. I put the head set down. I go playing the water for about 40 minutes hour. I don't know. Go back inside, maybe breakfast with a family as they're getting up. And I just, then, that weekend, I get a get called from a buddy of mine who says, hey, I'm going to this thing. Don't know what it is. They're going to talk about this that and the other. And as intriguing, however, it was presented to me. One of the original cast members from the original Hawaii 5 O was there. And there's only like 30 of us. And this guy says, if you were to write a book about your life, what would you call it? And we all worked together and stuff, and I came up with living your life on abundance. Then I'm listening to John Lee doom as constantly because entrepreneur on fire and all this other kind of stuff. I'm sure you've probably done this. Also a veteran, big time podcaster. He's like, you can start your own podcast. And you can name it whatever you want. You can do that. I'm like, can I really? So that's where the podcast men of abundance came out of because I wanted to have conversations with other people who were truly living their life of abundance, whatever that is to them. And somehow paying it forward to their community. In some cases the world. I've had conversations with Lee cockerel, former VP of Disney World resorts, Jeff Hoffman, who started priceline 20 some odd years ago dot com. Just many.

St wally no now because they're not going to be there. When you finish they're gonna get you the solo even They're gonna work about you. Know at a at a really busy flight school. They're going to work about another two weeks and they're going to be gone so Make sure you understand the tenure of those flight instructors really what are the qualifications of those My flight school. You have to be a double. I to work here shortly after he start. If you don't have it when you join and that's important to one just be a much better pilot and teacher but everybody. The trains here probably wants their instrument rating. So it's important to have those in if the school has a twin. How many emmy is do they have multi-engine instructors and you should know these things about the school to be able to really understand if it's gonna fit and help you achieve your goals.

Number two is customer success accessible bulbs as the new growth engine and point number. Three customer success is becoming a promising career discipline. I would have thought that was already the case currently but you know so folsom the above.

Ideally once a week possible at least a little touch base because staying close to the sales rep is absolutely critical.

They came up with a phrase called line oregon -ted flight training and we referred to it as loft l. o. f. t. line oriented flight training and basically what it means is rather than for a simulator session rather than just go in and say Let's see i think will work out of Of houston today. And we're going to go up and we're going to do some stalls and we're going to do three or four approaches. We're gonna do some engine out work. the airlines started trying to make it to where it was actually mimicked a real a real flight in other words okay. Today we're going to fly from houston to atlanta and in between houston and atlanta.

Pardon me this is number three visit for this is number three or visit than the live show and now rusty pilot so pats men a friend in a i would call him a co worker through through the flight school that i own and recently we had the opportunity to rusty pilot seminar together. We did and i learned a lot as a not so rusty pilot. But someone who doesn't get fly all the time and thought to be a great opportunity to put together a show. Maybe two parts depending on how long this conversation goes to talk about. How do we get a lot of aviators back into the right seat. Left seat if they have been flying in a while pat. You do this all the time. What what are some of the things that you would like to share with people that are out there that may have not flown in a year or more. Well you know. I think Obviously i worked for a oh. Pa so that's going to be the first top of mind thing and the rusty pilot program that we that we offer It we can We do a number of seminars. every month These are webinars right. Now we're back to doing live things but that would be the the primary first of all decide that you want to get back in the air and then take advantage of the rusty pilots seminar. Because that provides you the minimum that sixty one dot fifty-six which is the regu- talks about flight reviews. That's the that requires that takes care of the minimum one hour of ground school that required for For your flight review In reality if you've been out for awhile it's probably gonna take more than an hour and even even when i'm doing these rusty pilot seminars. Tell people look when you go and hire local flight instructor to fly with you. They're still want to sit down and talk to you a little bit and make sure that you remember all these cool things that we just talked about right so that that would be probably the biggest one right there but they gotta make the decision. They want to get back into it.

Why You Should Seek out Marginal Weather Days for Flight Training
"What's up wally. Bobby how are you fantastic. This week. We're taking on a topic that i've thought a lot about. I know we've talked about it more than once. But we are going to talk about why you as a student of whatever you're at and your aviation career should seek out marginal weather days with a flight instructor. Absolutely i think I i worked on my instrument. Now it's been almost three years ago Speaking of three years ago yesterday was my three year anniversary of buying this place all right. Well congratulations thanks. So about three. Years ago i finished my instrument rating or so but While i was in training the instructor that i had was really adamant that we get some extra time. And i've spoken about it. I was really an apprehensive pilot Young in my aviation career. I didn't feel real comfortable with everything. I that's just kind of scared me but i think the fact that he was so adamant that we do it and then we got it. While i was training for my instrument with some of the most valuable time i ever got. I believe when i took my check with you. I had something like eight hours of actual time which to someone listening. Who's not there yet my nothing but how many hours do you have to have wally to take your check. Ride in actual conditions zero. Wow zero actual time to qualify for an instrument rating got up forty hours of instrument. time all of which can be Simulated under the hood wearing a fogle or whatever view limiting device. You choose and some of it can be in a simulator. It's you know i. I use a little analogy of and this is not really totally accurate but You know if if you wanted to someone to play football you wouldn't teach him how to play basketball and say here's the ball. Go play football. You know you'd you'd actually show how to play football the better when there might be. You don't do all your learning playing flag football and then go play.

Yeah i mean you go through one door. You should be able to get the most i. Actually i'm bummed out 'cause i when you came out. I thought we should have done that. You know sometimes when people hit their first home run they None of the players clap. Applaud. yeah. I should've told the crew don't clap when out. That would've been a little that would been fun Wally thank you so much for being here now. A lot of people think you just hold cue cards. You actually have a company and you do cards for a lot of different shows. And i wanna ask real quick. You had to come up with a name for a company that in past everything it did and it had to be A name that would immediately make people think that guy obviously knows what he's doing right. You went through hundreds of names. I remember doing it. Can you please tell everybody what you came. Up with New york city cue cards probably one hundred as part the first thing that can you remind that was like that's perfect. What about cue. Cards by. Wally other Tell everybody about cue cards by. Wally cars by wally. I started during the pandemic. When i wasn't wasn't working i was bored. I was sitting around at home. And i thought i can't cards for celebrities like yourself and other people want personalized cue cards for people at home. They can't go to birthday parties and they couldn't go to parties. It was kind of a perfect time to do it. And these are the iconic. Snl cue-card same cue cards written by written all by me. Yeah which. I was shocked to think people would want but they did and every time i sent one out and i looked at it before. I said that it was like. They're really going to be disappointed. Because it's just really marker on a piece of cardboard. Yeah but every time they got it they were like. This is the greatest thing i've ever gotten in my life and they loved it. It's really nice when someone is willing to admit that their product is just marker on a piece of card. I mean i think that's one of the things we love about you. Honesty thing. I to say is you know this is no joke. That cue-card by wally is a big deal. I my dressing room have my last. Snl i have the cue-card From good night at weekend. Update and sort of famously. A lotta cast members want a card and a lot of hosts. Take them home with them. Yeah i'll said. I'll put together a package usually for host and sometimes say hey. Do you want some souvenir. So i just sent. It was funny. I sent carrie mulligan a package of her. Cue cards and then i did elon. Musk show and i got home. And there was a note henri letter from ireland. I thought i was from somebody else. After the show and i was really tired and i was reading it and i thought still thought it was from somebody else from kerry morgan thanking me for sending cards. Because like she was like. I felt like it was a dream but having these kind of make it feel like it was reality so it was really nice. Who's the irish person you thought you were getting a letter from laugh. Wait for a letter from karen i. There was an irish guy that that i connected with me on facebook. Said he was coming to see this show and it was the week after we shut down for the pandemic so couldn't come over so i sent him an irish. You made a joke about rs. People and drinking like normally do and i sent him those cards and i thought this was a thank you note for that. Oh that's very nice. That's why i was confused. But i wasn't a joke. That was based on something in the news. Oh okay just like ad hominem attacks on our friends a cross the seas so this is i wanna talk because actually do think you know one of the questions. I get asked a lot. We used to do acuna when we'd have an audience here and Thing that people are genuinely fascinated by is. Why does our show us cue cards. Instead of a teleprompter now the puke erred shows. As i understand it. Are they all kind of come from the tree. Jimmy uses cue cards conan Use cue cards. You did him week yards. And i think it is. That's how we That's how we came up when hosts coming. Seo a lot of times. It's the first time they've used cards. Yeah so what is the first thing. And i've watched this happen but explain to people the first thing you have to do in a host and of ours acute guys i just i i asked how their eyesight is because that's the most important thing if they can see all right so i'll show them a normal size printing card then i'll show them a little bit bigger size card just so we can get get off on the right side and then i've asked work cards before and most of them haven't so it's just a basic talking about you know seeing them all right and then you know the director of snl between me and him they will talk to them about more specific things about how to play them and you know where to look at them and don't memorize anything that kind of thing and have you had. Sometimes you have a host who thinks they're not gonna need cards and then over the course of the week. Yeah matthew mcconaughey was the nicest guy but he was like. I'm not gonna was no problem. I'll be over here. You know if you know. And then by friday afternoon he was like so where are you going to be data and then i was going to be over there and he was okay just in case i need you and then on saturday he was like all right. Where are you going to be. Three sketching any thanked me. After nito pa they apologize. We don't need to apologize. He was like. I didn't understand how inclusive the cars were. How much a change. And that's the thing you can't you can't memorize on. The show is that there's no changes you just handed so much. Yeah you had a moment that i always recall fondly with charles barkley. That was a saturday rehearsal. Yeah and do you wanna tell everybody what went down. So chris cowan. The stage manager came over to me and said charles wants to play a practical joke in the cast. He's going to pretend to be mad at you. No one knows about this but you music you good with that and i was like yeah. Sure why not you know. We went out there for a sketch and right in the middle of the sketch charles breaks character and he starts yelling at me so wally. I can't hold the cards still. I can't see him. He's either and he and he stormed off and people were like. I fully bought it. People like john will forte actually yelled hit them to charles charles given took took umbrage a little. I'm know that meant that. He thought it was true. He finally always gonna finally get him get. What's coming to. So charles stopped halfway stage then saddam just busted and everybody laughed and it was great. I was beat red. Even though i knew about it. Everyone's yelling at me. And then i went over to what was what the hell will go. I was just trying to defuse the situation. I remember was like well. I think the part that. I can't believe all these years later is i'm like i can't believe charles barkley was such a good actor by the way i didn't yell hit them but at the same time like if he had started hitting you i would not done well they mostly because i love you and you do sometimes move to move the cue cards while you know one of the reasons.

Checkride Turbulence And 3 Books
"What's up. Walling a bobby how are you. I'm great nother week. 'nother show we Shows grown a lot and we want to think about the listen to the show. We are back to another check right episode. This is something. We put together that we're branding or calling. Check ride turbulence taking the bumps check rides and this week. We want to talk about really something basic to help you. Prepare for the check ride That that wally sees too few people doing and that. I enforced here about some students that come to us from other schools. Don't use these books on a regular basis and as we become commercial pilot's probably think of more but a student pilots. You should have and be aware of three big things as it relates to flying. There's obviously more but these are three things for the check. Ride the p. h. The acs and the foreign name. And if you were to bring those three books to your check ride and actually know how to use them know. What's in them. I think you'd be surprised how easy that check ride. They would go would you. Would you agree. Well absolutely i. i remember my first I grew up in an aviation family. I flew with my father quite a bit as a as a very young Young little boy. But i took my. I what i call my first real flying lesson on august. Thirty first nineteen eighty-one so almost forty years ago and it was in a tomahawk piper tomahawk. Who was two five four nine alpha and member walking The the i fly. We flew for about an hour and we walk back into the flight. School the f. b. l. And i remember my instructor taking me right up to the counter and there's a little display case there and he said you need to get that book right there and you need to learn it now. I have already done private pilot. Ground school so i already had a copy of the f. a. r. a. m. and You know. I had a jepson Private pilot book and so i was Well on my way. But i remember him saying okay. You need to buy that book and you need to know everything in it. And so that night i remember going home and opening up the po h. And starting to remember it To memorize it and learn it and you know. I remember learning the menu. The propeller manufacturer was a seventy eight inch propeller fixed pitch. And i'm i'm thinking to myself. Well okay he said. I needed to learn it so you know what that meant on that day did you. Did you instantly know what all that Probably not probably not. But i did. I learned it And nowadays I i went back. And i think of my career my aviation career and how many check rides. I've taken over my career. And i i don't know how many it is but it's a lot and i don't think i have ever taken a check ride in an airplane that i did not have a personal copy of the po h whether it be in print or digitally I went to my bookshelf. The other day and i found that tomahawk manual. I still have it. it's again. It's over forty years old. I have a a beechcraft baron manual. I have a beechcraft duchess. I've bonanza manual. I have one for a a warrior and they're old but they're they're still good information and a mess still valid and of course with the airlines You know the issue you manuals and back in the day used to be paper manuals but now it's all digitally transmitted the ipad so that makes it very nice but again i have never taken a check ride in an airplane that i did not own the manual to And you know so. What are you studying the manolo. The peo- h we're talking about here So what do you study well you know obviously limitations It's more knowing where it's more knowing how to use the manual then knowing what's in it And and i tell people man you know if you're just gonna spend ten minutes getting an overview of the manual. Maybe the table of contents for each chapter might be a thing just so you know what's in there. Yeah and we'll we'll show some of my lack of pilots. When i was a student you know. And and how i got smarter as i got more proficient in probably happens everybody but i fly. Our one eighty two a lot now flat a lot with my family. I check the fuel Obviously a lot i have. A dipstick tells me how much fuels in that and recently I think i asked a rampart or somebody to check that for me before i went then i checked it again before i went in the numbers aren't the same that i had asked for and i thought that was a little bit odd But they they they want and did that with the dipstick and they they had the wrong dipstick of course but i asked him. Do you know in the ph where to look at. How many gallons are in the tank because they had a dipstick said a different number of gallons in that particular tank and this is a student pilot who wants to learn and i wanted to teach them and also teach my staff as well as saint. Thomas said where do we look. Let's go pull out the peo- h. And look at it and it was funny. They jumped towards the back and performance in the fuel system. And all these other places but as you talk about limitations there's a pretty good summary right up in the fourth or fifth page that drives about what each tank has in it and that's a quick way to verify and to your point about knowing how to use the book i don't necessarily need to know every plane and every tank size and everything at an airport but if i'm going to go fly that plane i better know where to find out how much fuel it can hold.

And just say a few words before i close today's show is titled making the links links courses in golf happened to be my favorite type of course engine. General has a distinct character. And sometimes there's quite a distance between one hole in the next new players on the course may even get law sp between holes going down the wrong path. Having to backtrack define the next d-box stopping long away. Embarrassed as they asked for directions making the proper lincoln. Life is a lot like that too particularly in your spiritual life. It's easy to connect the wrong dots associated one thing with another when maybe they shouldn't be together at all for wally. This included mistake in christianity. For christ is demanding earthly father for the heavenly father. Once he got that figured out he started making the links that really mattered. He found freedom. He can't keep to himself. He found a loving god who was his friend his counselor and his buddy and a profound and meaningful way. My hope for you today is that you can apply this to your own life. Are you missing key links connecting one thing to another. That doesn't need to be is a possible. The guide you dismissed wasn't the god of the bible at all but a perception. You got from a bad preacher. A painful experience you had with a misguided teacher the judgment you found from self spiritual leaders a church. that was more of a country club hole. Basis for church hurts and is rooted in what we've talked about today. It's easy for us to connect the church with hurt bad experiences and memories. We'd rather forget that.

We opened it. Really for ourselves but selfishly. But i've really been able to go back and deal with my my Situation my father. And i've and i've been in through. Counseling have been able to go back and medium and confront and really. I got to a point where i just really had compassion on him through this system that they have in And that really freed me up when i could Could really go back in love. My dad and i couldn't even talk about it before. I mean i couldn't even say this to you i would break down and but there's a lot of freedom when you can get to a really solid biblical counselor.

I'm going and just sit down and be quiet and listen to that. Still voice of of jesus saying it's okay. Just slow down right all what you did right there. While is something i find that. Very hard for preachers to do I one of those preachers. That i used to listen to that. I thought i wish i could be communicate as well as this man. He would talk about problems that he had in his failings in the past but always then bring it into a nice neat little bow. Those were promised he'd already figured out how to deal with. He never really talked about you. Know but i'm struggling now and this is you just did you know. I don't have it altogether. I really awesome struggling. That's hot. that's kind of transparency.

"You know there was a book that helped you talk to me about that. A guy basically a nineteenth century pritchard. Well you know. I wrote the book in his grip. that sold. I don't know three hundred fifty thousand copies. I wrote a number of books. I spoke all over the country. But i just never felt like i was this authentic. I a christian. I just felt like. There's something missing. And i was reading a book by dallas willard on spiritual disciplines i mean. I hate that stuff up. You know Journaling and and memorizing scripture and reading. And yet i found this book called the transforming friendship of christ that weather weather hit. I mean. isn't leslie. Weatherhead was his name that wrote in nineteen twenty nine. Willard dallas willard referred to him. And when i got this book he just really expands that the the thing we that is missing with most people is. They don't have a clear picture of jesus in their mind. I certainly didn't. I thought i was never good enough to be around young. I knew that he loved me. But i didn't think he liked me. And so in this book he says to in your mind conceive mentally. Imagine this modern day person. What if jesus was here today and you met him and he just wanted to be your friend and fellow companion someone. You could really talk to walk within. Enjoy life with. And i'd never thought about that. And he encourages you to pull up a chair and just imagined this modern day jesus personality will and then to just begin to talk and to begin to to converse and And that happened in my den. Right here in two thousand and four when i just sat back in my chair and And he became real for the first time after thirty. Four years of of striving and working and trying to be a slave. I realized that that wasn't what he really wanted. He just wanted a friend and he offered that to me. Let me just highlight That book for a minute and even in another point that transforming friendship By leslie weatherhead. It reminds me of how we can get really good stuff from somebody who's not one hundred percent right wasn't weatherhead. Went on to really become a heretic. Oh yeah but in that book he really does help. You see things right right. The way he starts the book out itself basically a man asking jesus to come home and jesus said not. Take me your work. I mean the book's worth just that image of imagining how jesus responds to us..

God help me i. It was a basic Flashback you know what. Let's turn why you were on church hurt and but actually go from. I just simply can't imagine looking at that leader list on monday or probably sunday evening and looking at all the names and everybody only knows number one and you look at yourself sometimes in your down there you know and people don't even realize the guy made the cut i mean that's that's a big deal itself but to see all these people ahead of you see the numbers printed in the newspaper. I mean how much did you beat up on yourself. I don't know it was I was just happy to be there. I think that that was the thing that just being out. There is coming from my background. It was such a blessing and I look back and think about the the. The people i played with the the pro-ams you know the celebrities. I mean playing like four days with clint eastwood at pebble beach roger staubach. I mean you made all these celebrities and when you get him on the front. They're nervous being around you. You know i played i remember. I played nine holes with jack. Lemmon sean connery and mike douglas. And they were like shaking because they were being a tour player but tell tell me how this performance thing you you were christian from the time you were in college and you were involved with other christians onto were we were significant men in your life but you know we're missing appoint point the you had to figure out later on. Tell me about that. i had a. I had a very difficult upbringing with an alcoholic father. That was very condescending. And and beat me up and told me as dumb and stupid. And so i might. I became so performance-oriented approved him. That i was worth something. I was gonna make it and i was gonna prove to him and and I never meet his met his expectations. I tried so hard and when one tournament after another as number one in the state in wrestling is number one in the state in golf. Never got any. You know i'm proud of you. And so when. I met christ in college. I took the same zeal ahead towards a jesus and through counseling. I found out what i did. Is i put the face of my dad. On the face of jesus and i never felt like i was ever good enough for him and so when i played On the tour there was inside. I was internal there was a lot of self condemnation. I was just driving so hard to to make it. And i never really. I don't feel achieved my full potential as a as a pro because i wrestled so hard with this Self image of of shame and and inside anger And it really wasn't until later in life that i was able through counseling. Really deal with that That voice in the back of my head..

"And gloves from gary and it really came true because ten years later i was playing a practice. Round with him at the masters with Imon sevi- bella stairs. That's just one of those miracles you know for me you know i. I sat ahead of the show. I just can't let you keep going. Because the stories and people love here in the stories of of the greats. And and i mean you spent your life really hanging out with these guys and and yet a lot of people haven't heard of wally armstrong mentioned that you set a record the first time you've played the masters which in and of itself it's like i can't imagine the nerves of actually playing again. Everybody's dream just play. We have a mutual friend who's a theologian c. Sproul i remember. He said you know one time he said. I'd give up all of my books and all of my achievements academically.

Tell me what it must have been like me your accomplishment of how many years you stayed on tour at ma. Many of our listeners are not no. Don't know the insides of golf.

"Years of my life. I was the pastor and preacher. I built churches preached every sunday met with hurting people and try to be the real mccoy. In contrast to the charlatans who seemed to get the news headlines that i never coveted. Sometimes i would get the recordings of my sermons and listen to them. It was a horrifying experience. I was never able to say what i wanted to say. As clearly precisely in. Compelling as i wanted to in contrast listen to gray contemporary preachers who are communicating. The very things. I wanted to communicate. Why did they seem to be able to preach so much better than may was mistaken. In my sense of call to the ministry all my churches tended to grow in numbers and spirit and vitality. Shouldn't they be growing faster. Perhaps if i was more gifted more holy harder working in weiser strategically i would see more fruit from my labor. You know exactly what i'm talking about. Maybe he warned a preacher or a public figures submitting to the never ending commentary of critics around you. But you had the voices in your head telling you you aren't good enough smart enough talented enough or charming enough to make the grade. The let it beat you down. Today we get to learn from a man who has lived much of life in the rarefied air of gulf's elites he played in all four majors even setting a course record for the master's first time participant in nineteen seventy eight when he came in fifth. This man is a pro in many ways an author that accounted family man and has much more than a casual relationship with jesus christ while come. Wally armstrong to church ertz hand. Thanks to be with you wally. Gimme the elevator speech on what it was like to be a professional touring pro fifty years ago. Well he made. It was a life changing thing for me a dream come true from being a little Country boy from indiana and the cornfields playing a little nine hole course and caddying and started looking for golf balls and selling him over the fence. Escon my first job in in the business of and Found myself Thirty years later on the pga tour at the peak of the game from coming from that little background. But that's that's like almost.

"What's up Wally hey Bobby how are you I'm good this is a show that I think might blow off far top 10 charts hopefully this is going to be a new series that we're going to be doing every month called checkride turbulence and that's a little bit of play on the words check ride and turbulence but these are going to be stories from a flight school owner and a d p should make the check ride a little less bumpier we're going to help people smooth those flights out and those check rides out and this week we're going to start with preparing for the check ride and if you have Chang Scott's stories and that is you want us to do with as part of this check right turbulence every month show let us know that this month is all about preparation for the tech red Wali I'm sure you've seen just about everything in your first 450 check rides but on a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the most prepared student that you've ever had that would have been me probably on the instrument of course What would you say the average level of preparation is for a check ride? I would say somewhere around A7 Sonos bad. Right just short of 70% is normally a failing grade. Right? Right. And so 7 still not really really good right for professional Pilots or people who wanna do something or taking something that could be dangerous we want we want to shoot for better than seven. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. You know, it's it it all goes back to school preparation and at least with me I have an online scheduling system if you if you book a check ride with me you're going to get an email confirmation along email confirmation is going to be a letter it's the letter is is just over a page-long and there's a lot of information on the letter and if you use that letter basically as a checklist you're going to be in pretty good shape I know several of the other examiner's here in Houston use the same type of system where you you book it online and you will get a confirmation what what I see is is the the farther out in advance that we can schedule a check-ride and the farther out before the check ride that the student are the applicant is actually signed off in iacra the better I would guess that probably 50% off Of applicants before we even meet I find in some sort of missing something or other on the application the iacra application itself and it usually has to do with flight times. There's a little column for class totals and it's p i c class totals and a lot of people miss that so, you know, maybe it's a private pilot Canada and they've got 7.9 hours of solo time and Thursday or actually I'd be cross-country. Let's say they got 12 hours of solo time. They should have in that class totals. They should have 12 hours of single-engine land wage. I see time and a lot of times they they missed that and those are really easy things to fix because as I'm I'm sitting at home relaxing in the evening. I'm I'm looking a week ahead of time. I'm pulling up applications I'm taking a look at things and I'm I'm looking at the numbers on these applications and I see that it's real simple for me to go into my scheduling system and send you a check say I was looking at your application I noticed you left out a column I'm going to send it back to you right now and it's no big deal it's absolutely no big deal you know I deal with iacra daily life I've I've dealt with it on on hundreds of applications and as a student pilot this may be your your second time to really deal with it I Acura the first time being when you got your birth certificate now you're working towards your private and even the CF eyes aren't extremely familiar with iacra so you know I kind of know what things to look for I'm looking for to bring the minimum requirements making sure there's three hours of inch and we're talking about private and we're talking about Parts 61 making sure there's three hours of instrument three hours a night time you know a lot of times you age See them putting in the application that they have p i c night Landings, which most of the time at this point the student may not have that and unless we're talking about simulator time solo time plus dual time should equal total time. So awful lot of times I'll see you know, tenth errors, you know twelve hours of solo time 50 hours a dual time. And total time is 72 hours where it would be 62 hours. So, you know, I'll kind of make a a mental audit or a quick audit of the times to make sure they make sense home. And again, I would say probably 45% of the applications I get before I ever even meet the applicant I find some errors and we're home. Fix that so that's probably the first thing and you know, obviously if the application is done the day before sometimes it's not as easy to see those errors and and then the morning of the check ride or the afternoon of the checkride were trying to fix these things and I see the anxiety level on the applicant raising as they're dealing with this wage. They're thinking oh my gosh, I've made the examiner mad which isn't the case at all. I mean, I just want to get it right? Yeah,
