:32:01
No, not at all.
And I know that firsthand.
:32:04
And the problem is,
the world's not gonna change
:32:06
You have to change.
:32:07
I guess it's kind of cool
to know somebody
:32:10
or be able
to listen to somebody
:32:12
talk about actually
being where I am right now,
:32:15
and it's kind of hard
:32:16
because I can't afford
to go there every single day
:32:20
and buy a sandwich
two times a day,
:32:22
and that's
what he's talking about,
:32:25
like that's
the only solution.
:32:26
That's what he said
worked the best,
:32:28
but I can't do that.
:32:30
And I've tried other ways,
and it's kind of hurt my body
:32:34
from doing other ways
that I've tried to do.
:32:38
And it's kind of hard
to, like, look at someone
:32:42
who says, "hey, I've done it.
You can do it."
:32:43
but it's not that easy.
:32:44
Id been sick as a kid.
:32:47
I grew up eating
a lot of ice cream,
:32:49
more than you can believe.
:32:50
We had an ice-cream-cone-shape
d swimming pool in our backyard.
:32:54
We had a commercial freezer with
not only all 31 flavors in it,
:32:57
but all experimental flavors
that were under development.
:33:01
And I made myself
the official taster.
:33:03
I had to approve everything,
in my mind.
:33:06
And I loved it.
What kid wouldn't?
:33:08
I literally
had unlimited ice cream.
:33:11
I ate ice cream for breakfast.
:33:13
But I was sick a lot.
:33:15
And I wasn't very athletic.
:33:17
I was really ill.
:33:19
And I didn't feel good.
:33:21
So I would kind of appease that
by eating more ice cream.
:33:24
You can see how the vicious
cycle would take place.
:33:26
One of the triggering factors
for me was my uncle,
:33:29
Burt Baskin, my dad's partner
and brother-in-law,
:33:31
co-founder of the company --
died of a heart attack.
:33:34
I think he was 51.
:33:35
Now, my uncle weighed
about 240 pounds --
:33:39
heavyset fellow.
:33:40
And when he died,
as a young man, I asked my dad,
:33:43
"Do you think
there could be a connection
:33:46
between his fatal heart attack
:33:48
and the amount
of ice cream he would eat?"
:33:50
My father said,
"No, his ticker just got tired
:33:52
and stopped working."
:33:54
By this time,
he had sold more ice cream
:33:56
than any human being that had
ever lived on this planet.
:33:59
He didn't want to think that
the product was hurting anybody,
