  • Good morning, John.

  • Let's talk about screwing up today.

  • First summer I was in college, I worked at Wal Mart, and it was a weird experience.

  • Made a lot of friends cleaned up a lot of poop, but that is a story for a different day.

  • My second, some around a college.

  • I worked at a community access television station called Orange TV in Orlando Ford.

  • It was a pretty good job.

  • I got to do whatever I did.

  • Graphic design added camera operation.

  • I did sounds, and I learned a ton that is still relevant to my life today.

  • Like, for example, that it does not matter what you know about lighting or screenwriting or cinematography.

  • You are dirt if you don't know how to properly coiling cable.

  • I also learned a thing or two about screwing up the very first to sign minute orange TV.

  • I went out.

  • We're filming like this banquet E thing that was on sound, and I could tell that the audio wasn't great.

  • I didn't know for sure that something was going wrong, but I was pretty sure that it wasn't.

  • It wasn't right later without me telling him about this.

  • The camera operator checked the audio and was like, Oh, that sounds real bad.

  • It was on the onboard camera, Mike, and not the hand held Mike.

  • So all the footage we take it to the beginning of the shoot was completely useless.

  • He managed to not go off, which was impressive.

  • Instead, just telling me if something seems wrong, you should tell someone.

  • Ah, good advice.

  • So the year 2000 back then, I was 1920 years old.

  • I did not have great fashion, so I still don't also haircut on.

  • You know this.

  • I wore a lot of thrift store clothes one day, a fair ways into my short tenure at O T V.

  • We were getting ready for a shoot in a parking garage.

  • The chute wasn't in the parking garage.

  • We were shooting a community event.

  • You don't care.

  • The producer on this shoot was this little guy.

  • But he was like, super solid.

  • And he had a mustache that was like perfect silver and very street on the bottom.

  • As far as I was concerned, he'd been in TV since the beginning of time.

  • I was very much respected him.

  • We were just breaking from getting our instructions, aunt.

  • He comes over to me and he puts me on the shoulder and he says, Green, you out rank.

  • May I look down?

  • Where is poking me in the shoulder?

  • And it's a patch and it looks like that Turns out my producer was not always in television.

  • He was at one point in the Air Force.

  • I will never forget that green yellow rank me that he said to me because like it was 90% joke.

  • But it was 10% frustration, a frustration with me with society, I don't know.

  • I was horrified.

  • Like I knew that I was wearing a military jacket.

  • I hadn't even really considered that it was once someone else's.

  • I also wasn't worried about like stolen valor here.

  • I don't think anybody was gonna confuse me, a 19 year old kid and too baggy jean shorts for a master sergeant in the Air Force, and my producer wasn't concerned that I was portraying myself as a member of the military.

  • He didn't think I was trying to fool anyone, but he had, like, opened my eyes a little bit to the fact that there were symbols on my body that I knew nothing about symbols that were part of other people's identity of their off their work of their pride and the sum total of everything I knew about that was that it looked cool.

  • I still don't know what a master sergeant is.

  • I didn't even know that the jacket I was wearing was from the Air Force.

  • It could have been any branch of the military.

  • And let's be honest, like as a young lefty, I little bit looked down on that career path, and yet I was wearing the jacket because it looked cool.

  • John.

  • I remember specifically that I kept that jacket for a little while, thinking I would probably wear it again at some point.

  • But I didn't.

  • Every time I looked at it, I thought, You know, what I know is that I don't know, like I don't know, and my producer poked me in the shoulder and gave me that 10% frustration he had told me.

  • But something didn't seem right.

  • And what that thing is is not as simple as whether we're on the onboard camera Mike or the hand held.

  • It didn't mean I was a bad person.

  • It just made.

  • It was complicated and I didn't really know it was up.

  • And it turns out there are other jackets in the world, so I wore one of those charts will See you on Tuesday.

Good morning, John.
