Walking the Camp Hope campus yesterday one of 28 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: the things I'm very proud of because when I started, 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: it was just a tiny, little facility and Russell Lebarr 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: coming on was was a huge deal. He joined the union, 31 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: he joined the the board. The guy that got me 32 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: involved was Ray Hunt, who was the head of the 33 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: Houston Police Officers Union. I didn't know what he had, 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: what association he had, but he was friends with the 35 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: son of the founder who was the original vision. Donated 36 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: the land, raised all the first money, and so he 37 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: did it because of him. I got to know him 38 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: very well, and then anytime I ever need support for anything, 39 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: I go to Russell Lebarr and he always steps up, 40 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: which is why I have to be careful. I don't 41 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: ask him for too much because he's just incapable of 42 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: saying no, and so I have to be my own governor, 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: my own regulator on that. But he stepped up, went 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: on the board, raises money, donates food. It just gives 45 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: and gives and gives. Mattress Mac has donated and donated 46 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: and donated. Doug Brown, who's been the chairman of the 47 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: board and just given so much. Stacy Hunt and the 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: Hunt family. There's a Clay Hunt home on site. Weatherford 49 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: has stepped up. I have asked David to start giving 50 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: me the names of people who are either volunteering, donating 51 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: cash or in kind so that I can give them 52 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: a little love on air. And all I ask you 53 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: to do if you can't donate a dime or if 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: you can or you can't donate time, and that's understandable. 55 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't make you a bad person. Do not feel 56 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: that I am trying to shame you. I'm not. I 57 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: know you want to do more and you can.

My name is Bob Bergeron and I 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: just want to thank you for I don't always use 63 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: kuon ass names. No I don't. That's because I grew 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: up around kunasses. That's like my smith. You're well, you're 65 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: what did y'all have in Santa Fe? What were Williamson's? 66 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: We had a bears and Bourgeoise and bouts and uh 67 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: who else? Would it have been? Trahan? A lot of 68 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: tra Han's or tray Han as they are in Houston. Uh, 69 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: let's see Longloi we had Longlois. We had Uh No, 70 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: Martini is not really a coon ass name. That's actually 71 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: an Italian name. He just happens to be a coon 72 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: ass by bert by raising. No, that's a that's not Italian. 73 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: It might it might be French. I don't know. I 74 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: don't know. It's a French or Itttalian. Maybe it's French, 75 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: but he's not. It's not a couon ass name. Per se. 76 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: The way, the way the aforementioned Thibodeaux, Inquibodeaux and uh 77 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: and the like would be seven one three nine nine 78 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: nine one thousand. But I just want to offer some 79 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: degree of solace to those of you. Whether your child 80 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: is wearing a gun and a badge over their heart, 81 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: out protecting the rest of us on the border, protecting 82 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: the rest of us in one way or another in 83 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: harm's way, or serving the public, thank you, because you 84 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: know what, they have a heart for service, because of 85 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: how they were raised. And that's a fact. There are 86 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: very few, it does happen, who go into the military 87 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: or law enforcement, or teaching or counseling or nursing. There 88 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: are very few who do that despite their parents, or 89 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: to get out of a circumstance and move in a 90 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: better direction. It is usually the case that they have 91 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: been taught a love for their fellow man, a sense 92 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: of responsibility to help others, to be kind, to help 93 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: the weak, to help the sick, to help the elderly, 94 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: to help the innocent child. That's where that comes from. 95 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: Is that is so much of who we are. And 96 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: my wife and I discussed this a lot, so because 97 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: we talked about our kids and you know, decisions they make, 98 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: and wow, I'm proud of that decision and I can 99 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: I can identify it. Do you remember nothing when you 100 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: talked to Michael or Crockett about this situation arising, and 101 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: look how well he handled it, and you gave this 102 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: advice and that it stuck. They learned, they they implemented it. 103 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: They you know, you called the play before it was 104 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: third and thirty one, and when life gave them third 105 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: and thirty one, they already knew triple reverse flea flicker. 106 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: The center checked in and became an eligible receiver. Let 107 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: me tell my story. The center checked in and became 108 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: an eligible receiver, and he sprints fat as he can 109 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: down the middle of the field and was wide open 110 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: and catches the touchdown. And they executed the swinging gate 111 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: or the triple reverse flea flicker. Exactly as you planned 112 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: it out years ago, and that is something to be 113 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: proud of. So you know, when I meet people when 114 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm out and about, I started asking questions surprise, and 115 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: it's just amazing to me. I can tell how much 116 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: hurt people have, how much fear, how much anxiety, how 117 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: much concern, and they don't have to tell me. I 118 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: can sense it. And it doesn't take long until you 119 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: ask a couple of key questions. Married kids, how about 120 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: your parents? Who's your best friend? What do you do 121 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: for a living? If I can ask somebody those questions, 122 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: I can sense what keeps him up at night, what 123 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: they're worried about. And you don't know that. You know, 124 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: that old black guy behind you at the grocery store 125 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: grabbing a couple of items on his way out, wearing 126 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: slides seventy years old, That seventy year old wouldn't wear 127 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: slides sixty years old. You don't know that he's he's 128 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: trying to get home because his son's going to call 129 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: him because the time shift, and his son is on 130 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: a ship in the Middle East, and he's worried. You know, 131 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to plunge us into the war 132 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: because that makes a president more popular, That's what they do. 133 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: But it just makes you look at your neighbor or 134 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: a guy behind you is the grocery store a little 135 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: even what he's doing the ROI Michael Man, you are 136 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: playing my favorites today.

But boy, 149 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: is that a beautiful voice, so rich and a Beaumont boy, 150 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: which makes me very proud. I change phones.

But Jim, is that what you were 174 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: calling about, Jim? Yes, sir, is that what Tim healing about? 175 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 5: Michael? 176 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can hear you. 177 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, it is. The aim was passed in twenty 178 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: twenty and maksure. What's happened is the governments takes to 179 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: control under the astact industry, you know, under the GUIDs 180 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: being you know, environmental problems with the freon causes, and 181 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 3: it's going to cost consumers, you know, an outrangeous amount 182 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 3: of money to maintain their equipment if they have the ten. 183 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: Just like with the R twenty two. Uh, the price 184 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 3: of R twenty two is a skyrocket and over the 185 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: years and was completely phased out for production the important 186 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: twenty twenty. So no on R twenty two can get 187 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: now if it's going to becaptured. Uh, you know, it's 188 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: on the shelf somewhere in storage. And the same thing's 189 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: going to happen to RN four ten. 190 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 5: Uh. 191 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: In a few years, ARM four ten will be completely 192 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: outlaw the production and importation, and it's going to cost us, 193 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: you know, it's going to go for a few dollars 194 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: a pail to one hundreds of dollars per pale for 195 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 3: the ARM fourteen. And the new equipment that has been 196 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: produced is for R four fifty four and it will 197 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 3: run about twenty percent more to produce than But the 198 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: R fourteen is so and there's nobody voted on this 199 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: This has just been you know, shutdown our throats by 200 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 3: the EPA. In my contacted ten Crus's office and three 201 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 3: semparate coientsmen Uh to get their input. The officers were 202 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: not aware that this is coming. And I'm just trying 203 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: to get the words out of her money to let 204 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: him know what's sing to happen, because it's just going 205 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 3: to cost the American consumer millions, if not billions of 206 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: dollars for these conversions. 207 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Jim, if the American taxpayer, one by one could be 208 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: sat down and shown the cost just of Democrat environmental laws, 209 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: the cost in dollars and comfort to them, they'd never 210 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: vote Democrat again. But of course you can't do that, 211 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: and it's frustrating. People's lives are worse because of these policies, 212 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: and so many people this is what a cult behavior does. 213 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: So many people don't want to believe that changes in 214 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: laws are the reason that your car costs more, that 215 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: it costs more to cool your home, that electricity costs more, 216 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: that food has all these terrible things in it for you. 217 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: People simply choose to look the other way. We had 218 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: a chihuahua named Bouchie years ago. We had two in 219 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: a row, Bouchie and Nick Knack. They each lived seventeen years. Sorry, 220 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: I guess Nick Nak lift thirteen years, Butchie lifts seventeen. 221 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: I think I got that right anyway. So we had 222 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: gone out. We lived in a little apartment in the mediciner, 223 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: and we were in our last years of college, and 224 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: we'd gone out to do something. And we came back 225 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: and I had left a pork shop. No I know 226 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: what it was. We had just run up to the 227 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: store and come back. And I had left this pork 228 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: shop that I had on the table next to the 229 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: couch where I was sitting, and I think I was 230 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: watching football, and Bouchie had jumped up on the couch 231 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: a little bit chiawa that he was little teacup, probably 232 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: four pound five pound chaw. He had taken that pork chop, 233 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: gone under the couch and eaten the entire thing, gorged 234 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: on it, and it had made him miserable, but he 235 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: knew he was in trouble. I come back and my 236 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: pork shop is not there. And I love pork chops. 237 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: I love him. God, I love a pork chop. The 238 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: problem is, it's hard to eat pork chops. Out because 239 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: so many restaurants don't know how to cook their pork chop. 240 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: And first of all, if you cut the fat off 241 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: around that perimeter, you're going to dry it out. There's 242 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 1: no fact, there's nothing to retain the juice. And most people, 243 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: I would argue their pork chop is too dry. But anyway, 244 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: my wife knows how I like my pork chop. I'm 245 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: excited about my pork chop. And I come home and 246 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: you couldn't swat him on his butt because if you did, 247 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: if you missed by a half inch, you know, you 248 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: kill him, you know, hit his internal organs or something. 249 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: But I would raise my hand to him, and he knew. 250 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: So I get down on my hands and knees. I 251 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: drag him out from under the couch where he's hiding. 252 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: He's eating the entire pork chop, and it's a big one, 253 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: and I right in front of me, I sit, and 254 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: I place him right in front of me, and I 255 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: take the bone that's left from the pork chop. Bugie, 256 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: did you eat this pork chop? And that's what you did? 257 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: And his eyes would bug out because he knew he 258 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: was in trouble. And my wife burst out laughing because 259 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: in just a moment, as I'm lecturing him, did you 260 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: do this? 261 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: Did you do this? 262 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: He turns and looks away from me as if I didn't. 263 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing, haven't. And that's what 264 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do with the problems, 265 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: is if I just look away, maybe I won't suffer 266 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: the consequences. Say it again. That's why I had to 267 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: get probably had a tune. 268 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 7: You might have to edit that. 269 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 4: This is Mark Chestnut and Joy Bizaar of talk radio. 270 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: But I'm living still. 271 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: I was a damn builder. 272 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: All right.

If Ramon does not play Aloha Friday, I 385 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: will be eat up with complaints about why we didn't. 386 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: It's not it's it won't be as bad as Oh 387 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: Happy Day, because I'm and I get complaints for speaking 388 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 1: over Oh Happy Day, not that we didn't play it, 389 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: we never don't play it, but just speaking over it 390 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: before it plays, too, which is always kind of funny 391 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: to me, because for many people, the first time they 392 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: heard OH Happy Day was us playing it on the show, 393 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: So they went from never having heard it, and I go, hey, 394 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: you want to try this, you want to taste what 395 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: I made for you, and they go, oh, this is delicious, 396 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: and then the next day, hey, I want what you 397 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: made for me again. I don't have it. You're awful, 398 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: but you wouldn't have That's irrational. It's sort of like 399 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: when you introduce somebody to somebody else. Hey, y'all would 400 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: like each other. Let me introduce y'all. Y'all can become friends, 401 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: and then later it's sort of, well, we've all had 402 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: that experience, haven't we. We have all had that experience. 403 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: But anyway, that makes me happy. Those sonic elements, sonic branding, 404 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: sonic appointments set it. We call it a sound attached 405 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: to a time, an emotion. I think it's called a 406 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: late motif. In in Broadway terms, lightmotif or late motif 407 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: is l E. I T M O T I F 408 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: all one word. It's it's the concept in musicals where music. 409 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: Phantom of the Opera is a great example, where when 410 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: they go down into the lair, there is a certain 411 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: ominous tone that plays because now you're going into the underground, 412 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: and when they're upstairs at the ball at the gala, 413 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: there's a certain music that plays for that. Or Tonardier 414 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: in Les miz the Master of the House, is the 415 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: same music that they play for him later when he's 416 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: picking the gold out of the teeth of the dead 417 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: bodies down in the sewers. Or maybe the most famous 418 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: song to go with that ramon, which would be how 419 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: long you and I've been together and you hadn't learned 420 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: a damn thing about musicals yet because they're gay. Well, okay, 421 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: maybe you can be one percent gay if it means 422 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: you can enjoy musicals. Is that. I don't think it's 423 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: any more straight to not enjoy good musicals. I don't 424 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: think it's like I'm so straight. I don't like that music. 425 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: Oh virus otherwise delightful, because if I liked it, i'd 426 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: be homo. Well, then be one percent homo and enjoy 427 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: a little Broadway musical. It's delightful. But I'll tell you 428 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 1: because next time I expect you a year or two 429 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: from now. Memory. Play the song Memory. It was written 430 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 1: by Trevor Nunn for Andrew Lloyd Webber. And when I 431 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: was in law school in England nineteen ninety six, I 432 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: looked this up. He was getting a million dollars a 433 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: year on royalties of that song. And you know he 434 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: wasn't getting all the royalties because a lot of people 435 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: were playing Memory at their high school in Beaumont and 436 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: not paying him a Every time that song, that musical 437 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: piece appears, there is a particular cat assigned to No. 438 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell your name because you won't remember 439 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: it anyway. You got it Memory, Trevor Nune million dollars 440 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: a year late. Motif there'll be a quiz. I didn't 441 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: say it's freebird, you Jack asked what I said. See, 442 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: this is what irritates me about you. My brother used 443 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: to do this. You're trying to make fun of something 444 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: that I enjoy. The beauty of this composition, the way 445 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: it is built by the greatest musical duo. Now that 446 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're the greatest of all time. They're kind 447 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: of the Hall and Oats of musical duos was Sir 448 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: Timothy Rice and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. The beauty is 449 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: the ability to create mood. I mean, Cats broke every 450 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: record in musical history, both West End and Broadway, so 451 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: both sides of the Atlantic, beating everything that Sondheim had done, 452 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: everything that George Bernard Shaw had done with Pygmalion or 453 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: My Fair Lady, I mean, all time great musicals because 454 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: of the ability to create moods with music and having 455 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: no ability to do that myself, just like I can't 456 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: cook anything, but I can enjoy a good meal. Yeah. 457 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: So anyway, I don't what what year was Cats. I 458 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: think it was eighty two, is that right? What was 459 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: it eighty one? Yeah, I don't know if it still 460 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: holds a record, it probably does. But it was the 461 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: longest running West End production and the longest running Broadway 462 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: production for a very long time. And at the time, 463 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: this was before Phantom, this was before some of the 464 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: other big stuff. At the time, the record was held 465 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: by George Bernard Shaw's Pigmilion, which of course is My 466 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: Fair Lady, and that no people thought that would never 467 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: be broken. That was kind of the cal Ripken longest game, 468 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: longest number of games played without being out, or or 469 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: you know Clemente's three thousand hits, or Ted Williams is 470 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: four hundred batting average. But somebody comes along and breaks it, 471 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: and then that's what happens. I tell you what, callers, 472 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: if you a hole with me online, we will talk 473 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: to you off air, and we will use those for 474 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: tonight's show.
