00:00 - 00:05A few days ago, I'm trying to hurry my kids out the door
00:05 - 00:07"You're going to be late, gotta go"
00:07 - 00:10I get a call, from Charlie
00:11 - 00:16He was Manuel, now he goes by Charlie. A little fat.
00:17 - 00:21Moved from here at the beach to America
00:21 - 00:24He did!
00:29 - 00:31He did!
00:31 - 00:34Right in time for the election.
00:38 - 00:40He did!
00:41 - 00:47But anyway, I'm still putting the kid's lunch together while I'm talking to him
00:47 - 00:50Trying to hold the phone
00:50 - 00:56Finally get it back to my ear and
00:58 - 00:59on the TV
00:59 - 01:01I see The Apprentice coming on
01:04 - 01:06Donald's face right there
01:06 - 01:08I couldn't hold it anymore
01:13 - 01:14He did!
01:14 - 01:16Why would a guy...
01:16 - 01:20...who has a job here already
01:21 - 01:27"Hey baby..baby..grab the kids! We're going to be hated in another country!"
01:35 - 01:36I laugh every single day
01:36 - 01:39Thinking about Manuel. I mean Charlie
01:41 - 01:44But no...no...I really care about my family
01:44 - 01:47I would give each of them the shirt from my back...
01:47 - 01:49...and I promise I try
01:50 - 01:53It's just...he may need it
01:54 - 01:56...no lie.
01:56 - 01:58He's moving further North now.
01:58 - 02:02So far in the South he hasn't found anything
02:05 - 02:07He did!
02:10 - 02:11My mother...
02:11 - 02:13My mother...
02:15 - 02:17Mom the other night...
02:17 - 02:20...tried to get his address, but they live in a truck
02:21 - 02:28He said "It isn't that bad, they have air condition. But appreciate the money because gas is so high.
02:29 - 02:30For the truck?
02:30 - 02:32Yeah, the truck.
02:36 - 02:39I know it's really not nice to laugh at family
02:40 - 02:42But I mean come on
02:50 - 02:55I promised my mother I wouldn't bring up the truck thing.
02:56 - 02:58Ever lived in a truck?
02:58 - 03:04I didn't really consider it an option, don't think there is enough room.
03:04 - 03:09...But I've never had the freedom they do over there.
03:09 - 03:11Charlie needs to come back to the beach
03:16 - 03:20And his job...
03:23 - 03:26Just can't make this stuff up, Juan
03:31 - 03:36I'm sure he'll be back soon, and I hope he gets back safely.
