They're just they're fantastic. So yesterday I did 44 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 2: something that you only do when you've reached a certain age, 45 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: and if you've never done this, then you haven't reached 46 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 2: this age, and that is I went to a doctor's 47 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: appointment with my wife. I'm not talking about fertility treatments. 48 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: You do that with your wife when you're young. But 49 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: I'm talking about going to the doctor where your wife 50 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: accompanies you. If your wife is accompanying you to the doctor, 51 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: it is either because you've had a heart attack or 52 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: a stroke, or you're old. And I didn't have a 53 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: heart attack or stroke yesterday, although I could have. I 54 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: could have, considering what happened to the doctors my wife had. 55 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: I've had bad allergies my entire life. My mother would 56 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: wake up and she would rub her eyes so loud 57 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: it would make a squeaking noise. Her eyes were so puffy, 58 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: and her allergies were so severe. And I was the 59 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 2: only one of the family, lucky me, who inherited her 60 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: degree of allergy problems. And she always had a kind 61 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: of a low grade infection, which she didn't realize. 62 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: That's what it was her entire life. 63 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: It's always, you know, she could she could be as 64 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: the allergy doctors would refer it, or the lung doctors. 65 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: She could her cough could be productive at any time 66 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 2: if she so chose, and I, lucky me, inherited that. 67 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: So I go see the allergy doctor with my wife yesterday, 68 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: because five years ago she went to this guy and 69 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: lo and behold she went. She got tested for everything, 70 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: the whole thing, and she started on the shots, and 71 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: lo and behold, she. 72 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 3: Doesn't have any of those problems any longer. 73 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: Well, some of you, because bless your heart, you got 74 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: to listen to me, and when I got problems, you 75 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: got to hear it. I've had this upper respiratory issue 76 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: which is up in my head as well pleasant radio. 77 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: I know since late October early November, and I finally decided, 78 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: all right, I hate to admit she's right, but maybe, 79 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: just maybe, so she goes with me yesterday. It's my 80 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: second round of treatment, and this was the one where 81 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: they do the more advanced let's see what you're allergic to, 82 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: And I did something I'm not proud of. When doctor 83 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: Colosso's his name, Chris Colosso is an Indian guy. Surprise 84 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: Indian doctor. Great, great doctor in the sense that I 85 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: like to quiz my doctors. 86 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: He just sat down. It was my second visit. He 87 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: just sat down. Let me quiz it. Fact, I'm gonna 88 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: have him on the show. I think I think we're gonna. 89 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: Have him on early to mid next week because it's 90 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: pollen season starting next week. And he said, look, you're 91 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: going to have a flare this our pollen season. Apparently 92 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 2: he can explain it all. But apparently pollen season is 93 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: longer now than it's ever been because of the seasons 94 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: and when the when the trees produced based on the 95 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: temperature outside. I said, you better not be making a 96 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: global warming argument. He goes, I'm gonna make it any argument. 97 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I don't care. I'm just telling you 98 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: that when the temperature is X, the pollen production is why. 99 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: And the temperature is X for more days of the 100 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: year today than it was in the past. And I 101 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: talked to allergy doctors going all the way back.

But that is my way of saying, 119 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: if you are a person like me that has been suffering. 120 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: He's not a show sponsor. 121 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: He will be eventually. He doesn't know it. 122 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: But if I'm gonna talk about him this much, poor 123 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: old iihart O to get, you know, a quarter or 124 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: two back out of the. 125 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: Deal because we got pills bills to be paid.

Hers wasn't nearly as bad as mine. 132 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: But I mean, she's allergy free after the shots, and 133 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: that's that's kind of where I wanted to do. 134 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 5: These chessh keep rolling around. Damn it all right, This 135 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 5: is Mark Chestnut. Enjoy Bizaar of Talk Radio with this. 136 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: If I had asked you last week when we were 137 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: doing the are they dead or alive roverta flat, if 138 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: you'd ask me, I would have said she had passed already. 139 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 3: But she passed yesterday. And you do not see. 140 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: Blacks of that age living that long. And there are 141 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: a number of reasons for that. Number one a lot, 142 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: especially if you're raised poor. They may not have had 143 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: sufficient healthcare. Secondly, there are cultural issues with regard to 144 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: diet and high blood pressure and the like. 145 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: But and that wasn't always the case. Used to be. 146 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: You would see cases in the fifties and sixties in 147 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: the United States of blacks who live to be one 148 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 2: hundred or more. 149 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: And you still see some. 150 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: And I think part of that is I think urbanization 151 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: led to in many cases cultural changes, particularly diet. But 152 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: also I don't think it's healthy to live all up 153 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: on each other. And I think that those things contribute 154 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: to a number of conditions in the major systems right, 155 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: the lunger, the heart that prohibit or inhibit a long life. 156 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: Not Roberta Flat eighty eight years old has passed away. Roberta. 157 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 3: You know her middle name Ramon. That didn't either, I 158 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: had to look it up.

She was also known as Rubina Flake. That 161 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: was one of her one of her aliases when she started. 162 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: She's born in Black Mountain, North Carolina. How about that husband, Oh, 163 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: they've been divorced for Steve Novasel. How about that Luther Vandross. 164 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: I got the opportunity to meet Luther Vandross in December 165 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 2: of one big Luther Vandross fan And there was a wonderful, 166 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 2: wonderful man by the name of Alan Becker has since 167 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: passed away. And Alan Becker was best friends with one 168 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: of my mentor father figures named Barry Lewis. And these 169 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: men were so good to me and helped me in 170 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: so many ways, not just kindnesses, but in terms of 171 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: mentoring me and not always with things I wanted to hear. 172 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,479 Speaker 2: You know, Barry Lewis, over the years has had very 173 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 2: harsh things to say about me. Doing this or that, 174 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: and I shouldn't do this, I should, but I always 175 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: know it comes from a position of love, because he 176 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: loves me, and he and his wife Barbara are dear 177 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 2: friends of ours and. 178 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: We adore them anyway. 179 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: So Barry Lewis had introduced me to Alan Becker, after 180 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: which the Becker School at Temple Emmanuel is named the 181 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: Becker family. The Becker family had founded a company called 182 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: Pace Concerts. Many of you remember Pace Concerts SFX all 183 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 2: that they. 184 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: Had done a number of things. 185 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: Barry Lewis had been raised in a family that was 186 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: a grocery family, which was Lewis and Coker. Some of 187 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 2: you who were around Houston will remember the old Lewis and. 188 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: Coker grocery stores. That was Barry Lewis's family. 189 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: Alan Becker was still very involved with what became Clear 190 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 2: Channel Entertainment. So our radio company which is now iHeart 191 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: was at the time Clear Channel Radio. But I wasn't 192 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: in radio yet, mind you, it was only two thousand 193 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: and one. But Clear Channel Entertainment, which would end up 194 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 2: becoming they would spin it off and it would be 195 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,479 Speaker 2: Live Nation, and then they would spin off the billboards 196 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: and I think they've kept the name clear. Channel Lee 197 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: Veyla runs that if anybody, some of you will know 198 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: him anyway. So my big thing if I won was 199 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: to meet Luther Vandross because I had a guy named 200 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: Carl Davis who had worked his tail off to get 201 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 2: me elected. He was the state chair, it was the 202 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: state it was the vice chair of the state Democrat Party, 203 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: the first flag to hold that position. And he had 204 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: been Sheila Jackson Lee's chief of staff. So you can 205 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: imagine how brave it was for him to come work 206 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: for me. And I'll tell you this, I learned so 207 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: much from him. I learned so much that I have 208 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: employed in my life since then, which was fearlessness. If 209 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: you don't ask, you can't get it. If you don't knock, 210 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: the door won't be open. He was fearless, and to 211 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: her credit, so was Sheila Jackson Lee. 212 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: I don't like her. 213 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: It's part of how I know so many things as 214 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: I saw the inside of her organization and how she 215 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 2: ran things. 216 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: But she was fearless. 217 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: You'll hear a lot of people say, yeah, she showed 218 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: up at our event and she's got on stage and 219 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: started talking, and you go, you're worth one hundred million dollars. 220 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: You're a tough guy, You've been people to your will. 221 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: Why'd you let her? Well, well, she's a member of Congress. 222 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: It ain't like to have any power. They literally have 223 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: no power. Would you have allowed that to happen if 224 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: that was some white. 225 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 3: Dude that did that, No, you wouldn't. She learned to 226 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: get things done by being a bull, and I learned 227 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: a lot from Carl through her. 228 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: Through learned a lot about how to get things like 229 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: that done just by being fearless and brutal. Anyway, Carl 230 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: wanted to meet Luther vanros and truth, he told sodada. 231 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: So when we won, Alan Becker called his son Brian Becker, 232 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: who at the time was leading Live Nation, and said, hey, 233 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: I got this favorite. 234 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: They put us on the front row, fifty yard line. 235 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: I'm kidding you, front row, right in front of the stage, 236 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: and Luther came out the whole night and he's talking 237 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: to us, and at the end of the show we 238 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: are invited back. We didn't know this was going to happen. 239 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: He invites us back and we're chatting away. I have 240 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: this great photo we took with him, and he's tall, 241 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, he put himself in between me 242 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: and my wife, and my wife's a little bitty thing. 243 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: She's about five to two, and Luther was well into 244 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: the sixes in a big uh. 245 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: Was he skinny Luther or fat Luther? He was probably 246 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: he was either on his way down or on his 247 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: way up, so he was somewhere in the middle. He 248 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: wasn't as big as as he would get, obviously, and 249 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: he wasn't as thin as he would get. I mean, 250 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: I guess anybody could look at a picture and December two, 251 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: there's probably plenty of articles out there about him, and 252 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: you can see what size he was. Anyway, he his partner, 253 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: because he's homo. I'm assuming you know that his partner 254 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: brought out this this huge towel that was a warm 255 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: towel that he put around his throat afterwards, because he's 256 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: very protective of his throat. And I asked him my 257 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: one chance to meet Luther vanros And I said, tell 258 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: me about the first time you met ROBERTA. Flack, because 259 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: he had been a background singer for her, and he 260 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: was very flamboyant off air, and he said, oh girl, okay, 261 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: all right, oh girl. 262 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: Let me tell you. So he goes into the story 263 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: and he was very excited. Tell s the story was 264 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 3: burna fly asked him over to her apartment in New 265 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: York to come in audition. 266 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: No, and she said here, I want you to sing 267 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: along with me on this and she said three He 268 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,359 Speaker 2: said three notes in she said. 269 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 3: Oh girl, let's just cook. You're hired. Luthandros. That was 270 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: a pretty good Luther Vandross. You don't appreciate it, but 271 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: you wouldn't know. 272 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 5: Probably had a tune. 273 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: You might have to edit that. 274 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 5: This is Mark Chestnut, Enjoy Bizaar of Talk Radio. 275 00:16:43,960 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 6: What Looktura and there? See what you mean to me? 276 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 6: You're old? 277 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: Then you close. 278 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 6: To the name. 279 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 2: Alas, there are things people don't know, and I have 280 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 2: to keep reminding them. Just received an email regarding a 281 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: company that advertised on our station while our show is 282 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: going on. They're not a show sponsor, they are an advertiser. 283 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: That's why I use the number the name. It matters 284 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: so for the five minutes, five millionth time, and I'll 285 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: do five million more because I'll have to remember this. 286 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 2: If someone buys advertising during our show and I'm not 287 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: telling you about them, doesn't mean they're a bad person. 288 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean anything other than I don't personally endorse them. 289 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: When we go to commercial break, whether it's the news 290 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 2: or the spots, I don't hear them. So sometimes people 291 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: will say, hey, you know that company that does this, this, 292 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: and this. 293 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: I literally have no idea who it is. Why would I. 294 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: In the radio business, you refer to this as going dark. 295 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: Our studio goes dark sound wise, because we're only a 296 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: sound medium. It's like you're turning off the lights. So 297 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: I don't hear anything anyone says during a break. I 298 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: certainly don't endorse any company, whatever that ad may say, 299 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 2: and they're free to do that. That does not mean 300 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: that I indorse it. If you hear me say the 301 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: name of a company, I do endorse them. If you 302 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: have a problem with them, you let me know and 303 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 2: I will reach out. I was able to solve a 304 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: problem yesterday from somebody that didn't understand a product he 305 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: had purchased, and why would he He was elderly man, 306 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: he thought he'd been ripped off. 307 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: He described his problem. 308 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: I took that email, shot it to the head of 309 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 2: the company. He put his best guy on it. Within 310 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 2: an hour, had a call back. Yes, here's a picture 311 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 2: of exactly what is happening. It's exactly what was supposed 312 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: to happen. The old man sends me an email later 313 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 2: in the day, I'm sorry I didn't realize, don't be. 314 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: You have every right to expect that if you use 315 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: our show sponsor on my recommendation, you have every right 316 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: to expect a certain quality of performance, every right to 317 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: expect that. And if you don't, I can't necessarily get 318 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: your money back or make it right. But I can 319 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: tell you that my show sponsors live and die on 320 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: our business, most of them, and they don't want me unhappy. 321 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 3: And so if I say, if. 322 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: There's any way to make that person happy, then please. 323 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: Now I have also noted because even as many emails 324 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: as I read, you start noticing, you know, if somebody's 325 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: name is dou Fatzi, as my grandmother would use as 326 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: the name when she didn't know, you know, down there 327 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 2: at the bike shot up.

And most of the time he 337 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 2: never even consummates the transaction. He calls them and they're 338 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: too expensive, and he decided that's too much for them 339 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: to charge. 340 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 3: For their service. 341 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: Well, you're free to not use them, but you're not 342 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 2: free to set their prices. See, the business gets to 343 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 2: set their price. And that's an offer. When a company 344 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: says dairy queen says ninety nine cent burger, that's an offer. 345 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: And in law, in. 346 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 2: Order to have a contract, whether written or not, you 347 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: have offer, acceptance and consideration, which can be as little 348 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: as a peppercorn. 349 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 3: As the famous case goes, the. 350 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: Offer is I will sell you a burger right here, 351 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: right now, for ninety nine cents. The acceptance is here's 352 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 2: my ninety nine cents. So by giving the person your 353 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 2: ninety nine cents, you are accepting their offer. If you 354 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: give them your ninety nine cents, in bitch, why you 355 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: do it in the marketplace, you're still confirming that that 356 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: is an acceptable price. 357 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: The only way, the only way. 358 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: To make them reduce their price is to reject their offer. Well, Michael, 359 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: if I do that, everybody else will still buy it. Yes, 360 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: you're not a market maker. Perhaps you're not willing to 361 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: pay what the market is willing to pay for a burger. 362 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: That's on you, not them. As long as they have 363 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: enough burger soul at the price they wish to say, 364 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 2: sell it that. Then you don't get to set their price. 365 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: If you would like to sell a burger for seventy 366 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 2: five cents, start your own. You don't get to run 367 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 2: that business. See but I'm a conservative Trump supporter, y'all, 368 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 2: And you're a jackass, and you don't understand how this 369 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: business capitalism thing works. 370 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: You're entitled. 371 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 2: You don't get to tell them what price they will 372 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 2: sell their burger for, other than to reject their offer 373 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: of ninety nine cents. 374 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 3: So not a nonsense? Is the offer? 375 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: The acceptance is here's my ninety nine sense, and the consideration. 376 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: The acceptance is yes, I will buy it. The consideration, 377 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: that's the three elements. There has to be consideration. The 378 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: consideration in this case is the dollar bill you give them. 379 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: Without the consideration, an acceptance of an offer does not 380 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: a contract make. 381 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 3: And the reason is. 382 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 2: Because you could say you accept, but you're not showing 383 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 2: that you accept. And that, my friends, is the first 384 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: week of contracts law at University of Texas in the 385 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: fall of nineteen ninety three, under the tutelage of the 386 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: Great Alan Scott Rail and that. 387 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: Is I'm gonna throw that one in free. Throw that 388 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 3: one in free. 389 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: If you are interested in my allergy doctor. You can 390 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: see some of you are sending emails. I've asked them 391 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: for an email address. It's called Advanced Allergy or something. 392 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 2: It's over near It's over off of Wesland and bel Air, 393 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: bel Air slash Holcombe. If you remember where the old 394 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: iw Marx used to be way back in the day. 395 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: It's about a block away from there on a street 396 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: called grammar Sya oddly enough, directly across the street, not 397 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: one hundred feet from where I was having my testing 398 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: done yesterday. I used to own a rundown old apartment complex, 399 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: a thirteen unit apartment complex. I sold it to a 400 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 2: guy who sold it to a guy who built these big, 401 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: beautiful townhomes, and I mean beautiful townhomes that whole area has. 402 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: I don't want to call it gentrified because it was 403 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: very white before it, which is very Jewish, and now 404 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: it tends to be double income, no kid or kids 405 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 2: because there's good public schools in that area. You know, 406 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: when you study real estate trends in a place like Houston, 407 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: you notice that there are pockets of homes that have 408 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: an outsized value relative to the region, and it's because 409 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: they feed into a good public school. Westbury would be 410 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 2: a great example. West u would be a great example, 411 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: although west you had some other things going for it. 412 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: Brave's Heights would be an example. So you do see 413 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: a lot of families, just not in townhomes. You do 414 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: see a lot of families in those areas, and the 415 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: trade off is they will spend what they could spend 416 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: out in the suburbs. They will spend that on a 417 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: house because they don't have to send their kids to 418 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: private school. You know, they're spending I don't know what 419 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: the prices are over there now, they're high. They're spending 420 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 2: one point five million on a house that they could 421 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: get in sugar Land for six hundred thousand. 422 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 3: But if they did that inside. 423 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: The Loop, that have to pay the exorbitant thirty thousand 424 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: a year on private schools, and they're not going to 425 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: do that, so they just plow it into their house 426 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: because it's a it's tax deduct wasn't mortgage right off, 427 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 2: and you're accumulating equity. 428 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 5: And welcome to the lifestyles of the not so rich 429 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 5: and famous are as. 430 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 3: I call it the Michael Barry Joe. 431 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 2: Possibly my greatest, the greatest five seconds of music from that. 432 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 2: Right there, you got the isolated guitar and then you 433 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 2: bring in the organ.

He has years of experience and a brain. 509 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 2: By qualified, they mean he hasn't done what we've done 510 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 2: our entire career. Lyndon Johnson had a famous story that 511 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 2: he told he went on the speech circuit after he 512 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: left the White House, and he had a great story 513 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: that he told about two guys that worked in his 514 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: office and one of them, I'm sorry, two guys that 515 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: worked in his administration when he was president, and one 516 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: of them had been part of the federal bureaucracy for 517 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: twenty two years, and the other one was an outside 518 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: guy who had worked for Lyndon Johnson for one year. 519 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: And he had a political appointment to make, and he 520 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: chose the guy who'd been in his office for one 521 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: year over the guy who believed he deserved it, who'd 522 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,719 Speaker 2: been working for the federal government for twenty two years. 523 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: And the guy comes in and says, mister President, you 524 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: should have hired me. And he said why, And he said, 525 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: because I have twenty two years experience and he's only 526 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 2: got one. 527 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 3: Or he's only got two, the guy two. And he said, 528 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 3: that's where you're he's. 529 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 2: Got two years experience, you've got one year's experience twenty 530 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 2: two times. And I have used that line many, many 531 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: times as a passive, aggressive way to tell people that 532 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: your longevity in a position does not necessarily translate into 533 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 2: growth and development and improved value. The idea of getting 534 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: a pay raise because you stayed a job another year 535 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: is anathema to me. Why should somebody make more money 536 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 2: working in an operation for twenty years than the guy 537 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 2: who has been there for one year. If the guy 538 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: who's been there for one year is contributing more, oh well, 539 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 2: you don't understand, Michael. I do understand this. When the 540 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought Tom Brady down to the Buccaneers, 541 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: they paid him more than anyone else on the team. 542 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: You had players who'd been on that team for seven 543 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 2: or more years. They didn't say, well, Tom, I'm sure 544 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 2: you understand, but they've been Buccaneers longer than you have. 545 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 2: Because Tom Brady's value was assessed at the number they 546 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: paid him, and the value of the guy who was 547 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: on special teams was far less. 548 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 6: See. 549 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: The reason we don't have these conversations is people are 550 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: uncomfortable assigning value to things because they know that their 551 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 2: value is not as high as. 552 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 3: An xt guy. 553 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is more valuable to the United States government 554 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: than Adam Schiff. 555 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 3: Is you're comfortable saying that, right? Okay? Well, Adam Schiff 556 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 3: has worked. 557 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: In the government for longer than Donald Trump. You get 558 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: that right, Okay? Well, how long you've been doing something. 559 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 2: This is where people don't understand the This is where 560 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: Thomas Soul comes in. People do not understand the basics 561 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: of economics, which is the ultimate study to apply to 562 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 2: almost everything you do. To value, to marketplace, to communicate, 563 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 2: to nonverbal communication through pricing, all of these things they 564 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 2: come up every single day. By the way, I see 565 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 2: your emails coming and I'll respond to your allergy. 566 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 3: I'll hook you up. 567 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 2: With this doctor colosso c O L L A c O. 568 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 2: Once the show's over, I'll connect those emails.
