>> THE TRUCK WAS A DODGE IT WAS ONLY, LIKE, A FOUR CYLINDER DODGE TRUCK THAT WAS
SLIGHTLY LIFTED. GOOD ENOUGH TO GO OFF-ROAD, THOUGH
AND I LIVED IN EAST TEXAS. SO, AFTER SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, GIRLS AND FRIENDS, WE'D HOP IN
MY TRUCK AND GO MUDDIN'. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN THAT WAS -- YOU THREW
EVERYTHING IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. YOU DIDN'T CARE IF YOU SPILLED
SOMETHING IN IT. I WAS A TRUCK GUY. IT GOT MUDDY, YOU ROLLED
>> Jimmy: AND YOU HAD A CB RADIO IN IT TOO, RIGHT >> OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
HAD A CB -- HAD A SPEAKER IN THE -- THAT I MOUNTED IN THE GRILL.

AND LIKE, DUCK DOWN AND GO, "WHOA, LOOK AT CATHY COOK THIS MORNING.
SHE IS LOOKING --" [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE AND IT WOULD ECHO ACROSS THE
WHOLE PARKING LOT. EVERYBODY, AND SHE'D GET EMBARRASSED WONDERING WHERE IT
CAME FROM. AND THEN I'D HOP UP AND GET BUSTED

>> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU WERE -- YOU WERE A RASCAL. >> I -- YEAH, A FUN RASCAL
>> Jimmy: YEAH [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> FUN RASCAL.
HERE'S WHAT I DID. HERE'S WHERE I SNAFU-ED MYSELF THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL CHERRY
RED 300ZX T-TOPS THAT WENT ON SALE ACROSS TOWN, AND I DROVE BY IT AND WENT IN.
AND IT WAS -- THE GUY SAID HE WOULD TRADE ME THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 300ZX.
AND I WAS LIKE, "OOH CANDY RED, T-TOPS 300ZX, HOW 'BOUT THAT?"
AND I SAID, YES. BIG MISTAKE. INSTEAD OF BEING THE GUY IN THE
FRONT PARKING LOT, TALKING AND HAVING FUN, BEING THE RASCAL AND GOING MUDDING AFTER SCHOOL,
I STARTED PARKING MY 300ZX OFF IN THE BACK THIRD PARKING LOT AWAY FROM ALL THE CARS 'CAUSE I
DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND DENT IT, RIGHT? AND I STARTED, LIKE, LEANING
AGAINST MY RED 300ZX LIKE, "ISN'T MY RED 300ZX SO COOL
SO THEREFORE, I'M SO COOL? WELL, I WAS NO FUN ANYMORE THE -- I WENT DRY, MAN
THE GIRLS DIDN'T WANT TO DATE ME, BY BUDDIES QUIT WANTING TO HANG OUT WITH ME, LIKE, "DUDE.
YOU'RE, LIKE, YOU'RE LIVING OFF THIS 300ZX YOU'RE NO FUN ANYMORE, DUDE.
AND I WENT BACK TO THAT DEALER, PULLED UP AND SAID, "THIS WAS A BAD LIFE DECISION FOR ME
CAN I PLEASE HAVE MY TRUCK BACK I'LL GIVE YOU THE 300ZX BACK,
AND SOME MONEY IF YOU WANT." HE SAID OKAY, I GOT THE TRUCK BACK, I WAS BACK ON THE FRONT
LAWN MESSING WITH CATHY COOK AND GOING MUDDING AFTER SCHOOL >> Jimmy: YEAH, EXACTLY.
"GREENLIGHTS." [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE "GREENLIGHTS."
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: THEN THERE'S PARTS OF IT WHERE YOU'RE LAUGHING, AND
THEN THERE'S PARTS WHERE IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL BUT I THINK THE TREEHOUSE ONE
STUCK IN MY BRAIN TOO, BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS JUST WANTED A TREE HOUSE.
I MEAN, I THINK EVERY KID WANTS A TREEHOUSE IF YOU HAVE A BACKYARD, IF YOU'RE LUCKY
ENOUGH TO HAVE ONE >> THAT WAS MY DREAM, YOU KNOW AND AS YOU KNOW IN THAT STORY,
WHEN YOU'RE A KID, I THINK A A TREEHOUSE IS A -- IS A, SORT OF, GREAT METAPHOR EXAMPLE FOR
ALL OF OUR DREAMS WHEN YOU'RE A KID. IT'S A PLACE TO EXPLORE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A PLACE TO GO HAVE SOME PRIVACY, SOME ADVENTURE.
IT'S ABOUT FREEDOM IT'S ABOUT YOUTH AND FOR ME, THAT WAS MY DREAM.
AND I HAPPENED TO COME ACROSS A LUMBERYARD, WHERE I GOT SOME LUMBER AND BUILT A 13-STORY
TREE HOUSE THAT WAS -- I DON'T KNOW HOW DAMN TALL, BUT IT LOOKED 100 FEET TALL TO ME WHEN
I WAS DOWN THERE [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YEAH
AND YOU WOULD GO UP IN THE TREEHOUSE AND JUST LOOK OUT. >> WELL, I'D GO -- I REMEMBER
I'D MAKE MY LUNCH IN THE MORNING, AND I'D TAKE IT TO THE BASE OF THE TREE
AND I HAD THIS PULLEY WITH A A BUCKET AT THE BOTTOM AND I PUT MY LUNCH IN.
I COULD HAVE EASILY CARRIED MY LUNCH UP WITH ME BUT THEN I PUT IT IN THE BUCKET
AND I'D CLIMB ALL THE WAY TO THE 13th STORY AND THEN JUST HAVE SUCH A GOOD TIME SEEING --
"LOOK AT THIS. I CAN USE A PULLEY TO BRING MY LUNCH ALL THE WAY UP TO ME."
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: A GOOD INVENTION >> AND I'D SIT THERE BY MYSELF
AND OVERLOOK -- IT'S THE ONLY PLACE I COULD SEE ALL OF LONGVIEW WHERE I LIVED, AND
IT'S THE PLACE WHERE I COULD SEE THE HORIZON. AND IT'S ACTUALLY WHERE I
LEARNED TO EVEN HAVE MORE DREAMS THAN JUST A TREEHOUSE THAT WAS -- THAT WAS IN THE
TOP -- ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THAT TREEHOUSE IS WHERE I LEARNED TO DREAM.
>> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT. AND -- I KNOW, ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
I JUST - [ APPLAUSE ] LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS
CHILDREN'S BOOK AND THEN LOOK AT THE -- LOOK AT THE COVER. IT'S THE TREEHOUSE
>> THERE'S A TREEHOUSE >> Jimmy: IT'S THE TREEHOUSE [ APPLAUSE ]
STOP IT! JUST STOP IT IT'S THE TREEHOUSE
>> IT SHOWED UP AGAIN. IT'S NOT 13 STORIES, BUT HEY, I THINK, AGAIN, THAT ICONIC IMAGE
SPEAKS TO THE KID IN ALL OF US YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, FOR ME, IT WAS A SYMBOL OF MY YOUTH,
FREEDOM, EXPLORATION, PRIVACY. AND IT WAS MY FIRST BIG DREAM, AND WHERE I LEARNED TO DREAM
BIGGER, AT THE TOP OF MY OWN TREEHOUSE. SO YEAH, IT MADE IT TO THE --
TO THE COVER OF "JUST BECAUSE," MY NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK THAT I'VE GOT -- GOT COMING OUT
>> Jimmy: LOOK AT YOU. YOU'RE CRUSHING IT, NOW. AND I LOVE IT, 'CAUSE IT'S KIND
OF A -- IT'S -- IT'S VERY "GREENLIGHTS," BUT IT'S FOR KIDS
IT'S GIVING ADVICE >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: THIS IS - YOU KNOW
WHAT IT REMINDED ME OF AND -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S THE BEST, BUT
"THE GIVING TREE," ALMOST, WHERE IT'S LIKE -- >> UH-HUH.
>> Jimmy: IT'S LIKE -- YOU KNOW, YOU'RE READING THESE LINES, AND THEN YOU'RE LIKE,
OH AND IT JUST HITS YOU AND IT'S -- IT'S FUNNY
IT'S GREAT IT'S SMART IT'S EMOTIONAL
IT'S EVERYTHING. AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE A -- LIKE A THIS OR THAT BOOK, WHICH IS
WHAT I LIKE WITH KIDS BOOKS, 'CAUSE IT'S SIMPLE EVERYONE CAN READ IT
FATHERS CAN READ IT. MOTHERS CAN READ IT. EVERYONE CAN READ IT
AND YOU GET IT, AND YOU GO, LIKE, "JUST BECAUSE I'M FINISHED DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'M
DONE." LIKE, I LOVE THAT. THAT IS A GREAT LINE
[ APPLAUSE ] >> JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT THE GOAL DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE
WON. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> JUST BECAUSE YOU WROTE IT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT I READ IT. JUST BECAUSE I DID IT AGAIN DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T REGRET IT
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: COME ON, BUD COME ON.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?

SURF MEETING AND HE'S LIKE, "THERE'S SOMEBODY IN OUR CREW THAT
DOESN'T FIT IN, YOU GUYS LIKE, WE DON'T LIKE HIM. AND THEN IT JUST CUTS TO STEVE
