Speaker 1: I mean that's high mileage, but it's not horrible.

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: We got a lot, We got a lot of listeners

73
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: that put in some serious windshield time. No, you're right,

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: it's hard miles, and it's like a rental car. It's

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: not like they're taking care of it. They're not taking

76
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: care of it. My brother would leave it be so hot,

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: and you have all that gear on his bulletproof vest

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: and stuff. You pull up to the gas station and

79
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: leave his car running, and he drove a bit old

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: heavy Crown Vic and people would say, excuse me, officer,

81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: your car's running. I know, I don't want to get

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: back in a hot card, do you? I got always

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: gear on? You burned a lot of gas? Is in

84
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: What I couldn't say, but I was thinking, was I

85
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: ain't paying for it. I figure at least I can

86
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: do is get in and out of an air conditioned

87
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: cop car. Anyway, they are ridden hard, I mean hard man.

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: I did a ride along with him one night and winning.

89
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: This guy was running from us, thank god, because I

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: wanted somebody he had an interceptor package or whatever. And

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: all my brother's buddies in the Golden Trum, all the

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: various police departments over there, know that I'm telling the

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: truth because this is my brother. So we were hoping

94
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: for somebody to runs that.

95
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Would have an excuse.

96
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: And this idiot, you ran from the wrong cop that

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: my brother is. Look, he's got a Richard Petty buried

98
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: d down inside. That that's the reason he's a cop, right.

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: So this dude goes running through.

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: The rice fields and of winning.

101
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: He's on those back roads, and my brother knows those

102
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: back roads like the back of his hand. This guy

103
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: did too, And he goes to running and my brother's

104
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: behind him and he goes ooh, get ready, you're.

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: About to jump a railroad track. What jump a railroad track?

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: And we go through there and that railroad track probably

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: only had a six inch maybe a one foot grade separation,

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: but it was enough. We went airborne. And we went airborne.

109
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: I mean the shocks and the sparks. It's dark, right,

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: and I was like, whoa, this is it right here? Now,

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: this is starsky and the hutch Duke's a hazard. But

112
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 2: I'm on the other side, right, I'm in the Roscoe

113
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: Peak coal trade. So we ran the dude for a while.

114
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: Finally I think he figured out this. Some of the

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: gun's crazy enough, Like if he's going to chase me

116
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 2: over one hundred miles an hour on these back roads

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: for this long, I'm not getting away and he might

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: kill me.

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: I better pull over and apologize.

120
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,720

Speaker 2: The story behind Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen

196
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: was the inspiration a nineteen fifties film serial featuring the

197
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: character Commando Cody. He became Commander Cody. That was Commando Cody,

198
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: and an earlier serial called King of the Rocketmen, which

199
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: was released under the title Lost Planet Airmen. Remember we're

200
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: thinking space rockets alternate planets. So Commando Cody and King

201
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: of the Rocketmen aka Lost Planet Airmen became Commander Cody

202

Speaker 6: Okay, so real quick.

207
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 5: This was a different trucking company that I had worked

208
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 5: for about five years ago, and a long story short.

209
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 5: One of the drivers that I dispatched was purchasing a

210
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: truck from the owner.

211
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 6: A couple months later. The owner had.

212
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 5: Screwed him around on his money, and my driver ended

213

Speaker 5: up taking that truck hostage to New Mexico.

214
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 6: And then he called me a couple of days.

215
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 5: Later and said, Hey, the car I came down in

216

219
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 5: boss Man's gonna arrest me if I show up. So

Speaker 5: No, I'm not.

239
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 6: Maybe one day we're working on it.

240
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: Well, if you were lesbian, I was going to put

241
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: you in the pile because Trump had a meeting. When

242
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: was it yesterday or the day before? What's today? Tuesday? No,

243
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: today's Wednesday. So on Monday, Trump had a speech he

244
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: was giving and he said something about he's in the

245
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: middle of his speech. He goes, where's the gaze for Trump?

246
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: Because he knew they were going to be there, And

247
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: one of them over one of them in the back,

248
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: goes over here, we're over here, and he looks at

249
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: the dinn and he goes, you don't look gay, only Trump.

250
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: And they loved it.

251
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: And so Ramona and I I showed ramon the video

252
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: and we just laughed and laughed and laughed, and Ramone said,

253
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: you've got to play that and then ask gay people

254
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: to call up that like Trump, to call up and

255
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: say why they like Trump. It's the funniest damn thing.

256
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: It is so quintessentially Trump. He is unashamed, unabashed, straightforward, raw, unvarished,

257
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: and he didn't mean it in a bad way. And

258
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: I guarantee you, if you could drill down and get

259
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: the numbers on what gazered, I'll bet you more gays

260
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,840

261
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: Republican in.

Speaker 1: The modern era.

263
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 6: I believe it. I think a lot of people are

264
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 6: waking up.

265
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 2: Okay, but you're not lesbian?

266
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: No, so how long have you been dating this guy?

267
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 6: About seven years?

268
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: Oh?

269
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:11,800

00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: Do y'all not want to get married?

271
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,239
Speaker 6: I don't know? And let him take the reins?

272
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: Do you do you not see an advantage to being married?

273
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 4: Like?

274
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: Does that not.

Speaker 6: It's fine with me.

278
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 5: I love him regardless of the status. But what he

279
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: does for me and who he is is more important

280
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: than what we call ourselves.

281
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 6: But I wouldn't be opposed.

282
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 5: I would love it and make me cry, and I'd

283
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,720

00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: And how much does he make.

00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: More than me?

288
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 6: But I don't have an exact number?

289
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: But he does share a bank account?

290
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:56,880

00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:00,319

449
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,840

00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,200

00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: Hand diarrhea is hereditary now kidness, it runs in your genes.

452
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 5: But I figured i'd have it all by the time

453
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 5: I retired Email of the day.

454
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: For at least one hundred grand.

455
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: Tzar, I totaled my car and I needed to buy

456
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: a reliable cash car. I bought an all white twenty

457
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: ten CROWNVIC police Interceptor from a cop so I figured

458
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: I could trust him. Six months later, the differential fell

459
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: out and now all four wheels turned. I tell people

460
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: it's a custom job. Please use the four point six

461
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: liter V eight as a lead in to segue into

521
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,679

00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: know it's been ragged out.

528
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 3: Not really never because government maintained their cars. When when when? When? When?

529
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: I when you buy a Caprice or I'm just telling you,

530
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know why they're buying them, but

531
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: they're buying them because it's Caprice. It's hard to find

532
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: they have six point oh and they're built for police only.

533
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: You still have any right now?

534
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: None? Zero?

00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 2: Do you only do police cars?

536
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 3: We do only police cars, and you do only police.

537
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: You put all the lights in everything. What's the number

538
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 2: one light is Phoenix the light company?

539
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Phoenix is the number one. We partner with them.

540
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: They came here and they partner with us.

541
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: What is the up sell on a unit, because I

542
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: noticed there's a lot of tahoes. What is the up

543
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: sell from the cost of the unit to all if

544
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 2: you do the full package, the cage in the back,

545
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: because he's gonna definitely want that, all the lights and everything,

546
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: what does that add to the cost of the base.

547
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 3: It depends. It depends, mister Barry. What happened is like,

548
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 3: give you an example with Klein ISD we did we

549
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: did the supervisors units, which of course about forty six thousand.

550
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: We did patrol unit it will be like twelve thousand,

551
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: and we did some canine that's eighteen thousand and up.

552
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 3: I mean, it depends the way you want it. Some

553
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: officer they want to buy buy a car just only

554
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 3: to do a side job that will cost about three

555
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: thousand dollars thirty two hundred dollars, which is we don't

556
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: make a lot of money on light and outfitting, which

557
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: maybe make about ten to fifteen percent, But our profit

558
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: is on the unit. Right.

559
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: What if they have their own unit and they just

560
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 2: want you to deck it out.

561
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 3: Oh, that's that's what we're here for. Just so we'll

562
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: let you know. There's about two three major outfitting company

563
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 3: in Taxes. Any agency that can go try to outfit

564
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: the car, it will take nine months on waiting cold

565
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: wait out on a waiting list. That's why those agency

566
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: come into us now and we can do it in

567
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: the week. We can outfit about four or five units

568
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: in a week for them. And then we hire a

569
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: team about five sealmen to go start knocking on doors

570
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 3: talking to agency to come and start, you know, taking

571
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: their business. No, nobody know who we are, but I

572
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 3: believe in a few months in the year, everybody will

573
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: know who we are. We're gonna be big on outfitting

574
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: because this agency in Texas need the help. And there's

575
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: the other two big ones. Like I said, they're not helping,

576
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: they're just h you called. You try to get your

577
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: units fitted, it's going to be seven to eight months waiting.

578
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: That's the ones out of Chicago.

579
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we're talking Texas. And if you want,

580
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: I can say the names of that outfitting company. Sure,

581
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: there's CAP's Fleet, and there's Dana Dana, d A and A.

582
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: There's two big larger.

583
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: But they're not the entire you're saying.

584
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: They're very good, they're the best.

585
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: What's something you could have known from my friend's car

586
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: that that other people don't have? That's kind of like

587
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: questionable whether you've you know, ought to be putting that

588
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: on there, because I don't know what I mean.

589
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: I can help him first. First, at all, our prices

590
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: are way cheaper than anybod less expensive than anybody. Yeah,

591
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 3: like I said, we we buy the lights and all

592
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: that he needs to us give us to pay us

593
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: for the labors.

594
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you anything like that? Like if he was

595
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: to want to mount something on there, you know, like, no, no.

596
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 3: We don't do that.

597
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: Well, because here's the reason.

598
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: Another buddy of mine's got a ranch. Sometimes we go

599
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: out hog hunting and you come up on a sounder

600
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: of about forty of them, and you can't shoulder mountain

601
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: enough to kill him
