I can do different things depending on
size and what you want to print on them.

1:20:07
Somebody made that up, you know.
1:20:10
- Oh, it's Bill's birthday.
- It's his birthday.

1:20:13
Happy birthday, William.
What do you think about that?

1:20:17
I don't know.
1:20:19
Doesn't do much for me.
1:20:23
You look at Bill today--
he was a scholar at one time.

1:20:26
He really was. I always
looked up to him as a brother...

1:20:30
like he had an answer for everything,
I mean, a proper answer.

1:20:33
How to spell a word--
he knew all that stuff.

1:20:40
Nice day if it doesn't rain.
1:20:50
What are some of the influences
that shaped the Mark Borchardt format...

1:20:55
or the Mark Borchardt style?
1:20:56
When I was growing up and drinking,
the people I was around, they were...

1:21:01
the Americans still fighting the West
with a bottle of vodka in their hand.

1:21:06
There was still territory out there...
1:21:09
In the mind or around the block
or something like that.

1:21:23
Expound on that a little,
this sort of--

1:21:25
Okay, listen, man.
There was no such thing about...

1:21:29
college or religion or anything.
1:21:31
There was drinking.
Drinking, drinking, drinking.

1:21:34
Everything would revolve around that--
the money, the time spent, everything.

1:21:38
It was America at that point.
1:21:41
We had, like, 15 people
in Mark's backyard.

1:21:44
We had five cases-- no exaggeration--
five or six cases of beer cans...

1:21:49
just sitting there,
and my dad came over.

1:21:52
"Yeah, Pops, we need more beer."
So he procured us some beer.

1:21:57
Came back,
drank a couple beers with us.
