It is the Jesse Kelly show and I'll be frank with you. This is one of those moments. I'm in a crisis moment because it's a final hour of the Jesse Kelly show and I have a lot of things I want to get to and I feel like I'm going to rush something in order to do it. So we're just going to take it step by step.

I need to address the whole there after your kids thing and how we have to be more diligent. I mean, I'm looking at a headline right here, Planned Parenthood. They're getting a mobile clinic that'll take abortions to red state borders.

That's that's horrible. Right. I have to get to your phone calls about what your phobias are. Weird ones or ones you're ashamed of.

877-377-4373. I have emails to get to. I have this list of phobias crisp in front of me and it's sad, hilarious and I think half these are lies. I have it really important things to do. All right. But we're going to begin with the one I'm a little bit embarrassed about. I'll put it to you that way.

I've really only ever had two. I don't know if I would call them phobias. One definitely was one was heights. I say was because the Marine Corps basically beats that out of you. I mean, you're they had you repelling down cliffs without a safety harness on in the right. You can't you just have to find a way to overcome it or you're not going to make it.

Now I still don't love heights, but I'm not standing on the edge of a cliff, peeing my pants. So I would say that. But there is one that I still do not like. And I find it kind of embarrassing.

I'm not scared of flying your boats or cars or spiders or snakes or not on that stuff. I don't like being in super tight closed spaces. I really do not.

When I was working construction, you remember I work, but I come from a construction family. We were putting in a sewer line. If I remember right sewer line. Yeah, it was a sewer line. It was a California job. Remember we did construction projects. Wherever the work was all over the country, Montana, Arizona, California, all these places.

We were putting in a big sewer line up there. And I was always down in the ditch. I mean, I didn't have experience that I was the low man on the totem pole. So whatever the crappy jobs were, that's where I was. So I was way down in the ditch. And some of those ditches can get real deep. I mean, you're down there.

I'm shoot. I think this one in particular was 30 feet deep. So you're you're down deep. And the pipe we were putting in was I believe it was 48 inches. Chris, that's four feet. Right. Yeah, 48 it was 48 inch pipe.

So that's big. But do keep in mind for the purpose of our story. I'm six foot eight.

You have to have the pipe on a specific grade. It has to be exact. So how how this is done a lot out there now is there's a laser.

You take a little laser and you put it in the bottom of the pipe. You've already laid. And then you keep attaching new sticks to the pipe.

And you have a target you put on the end of the pipe and the laser will shoot it. It'll tell you if you're on grade. Does that make sense Chris? You're stupid. But if that made sense to you, it should make sense to everyone else.

Alright, so it made sense to Chris. But you can only go so far. And then your lasers getting really far back there in this really dark pipe. And again, it's a pipe.

There's no breeze blowing through. It's a pipe. Somebody has to go back 200 feet 300 feet 400 feet back into the pipe to retrieve the laser. What Chris?

I think I was Andy DeFrain quit making me laugh Chris. We're making a serious point. But yes, I did actually I imagine that in my mind. So obviously being the low man on the total pool that job often fell to me.

But you're on a construction crew construction crews are rough round rough dudes. And my father was the superintendent ended up being the owner. So and if my dad would want people to crush me if I was a whoosh. There's no chance I could ever do anything that would have somebody call my dad and say your son's a weeny. I just I would rather die. I'd rather go in the pipe and die. So you don't have an option of saying I'm too scared.

I don't even have an option of asking scare. Hey Kelly get up there get the laser. I would have to do this. And I would be five feet into this tunnel. And I'm basically crab walking slash crawling when your thighs burn out.

And my heart is pounding out of my chest and this whole thing and it's dark. And like I said, it's warm. So there's no breeze.

And I was always instilled to the state and then bear us by that if I get into something where my shoulders are closed in or closet or something. I don't like it. And I don't know why like I can't describe for you why but I don't like it. What Chris?

Yeah, you see you say you don't want to be crushed. That would make sense except I was a safe. I mean I was a I was a safer in that pipe than I would be at home in bed.
