Welcome to the Being Known Podcast with my friend Dr Kurt Thompson.

My friend Pepper Sweeney.

We are here to discover and explore what it means to be truly known.

On today's podcast, we are going to talk about storytelling. So I'll tell you a story quickly. My father

recently passed away and this is a story that I told in his as part of his eulogy so that people could get an understanding of the kind of man that he was.

So my dad had this great sense of humor and he never he never

told a joke he didn't know any jokes at all but situational stuff he was very witty and

so one day he was visiting visiting my wife and I out in California and he and I were driving down Ventura Boulevard. I was driving he was in the passenger seat next to me.

And we're going to be turning left coming up. And I got a green arrow. I'm getting ready to turn left. So I turn left and the person in front of me stopped and so I was stopped in the other lane where cars should have stopped anyway because they had a red light but

so we're standing there and we hear this screeching of tires just loud we both look over and

this cars coming right at us, and stops like this, an inch from my dad's,

from your dad, right? And I'm driving this vintage Porsche that had,'t even have seat belts right so it would have been

Dunsville so it stops right there and we look we both look over and the driver of the other car is kind of like trying to balance a

cup of coffee there's paper and stuff flying all over the place and things kind

of settle down and my dad says Newman because it was Newman.

Because it was Wayne Knight of Seinfeld. Oh, my gosh.

So he's looking at us and dad just says no man. If we drive on laughing for the next six blocks right?

Oh my gracious. Right to have the have a quick witness to just say that in that moment

so that's a little story about my dad that I think kind of tells the story of the kind of

of person he was.

Right.

Well, Pep, we can't really make that stuff up.
