1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: It's that time. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: Time time, time, luck and load. 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: The Michael Varie Show is on the air. I got 4 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: an email during the break. 5 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: With someone who used a show sponsor that I had 6 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 3: not spoken for in years. And the reason I don't 7 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: speak for that show sponsor anymore is because I had 8 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: three complaints in a row of bad work, which was disappointing. 9 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 3: It was also embarrassing, and so that was something I 10 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: could no longer put my name behind. And this person 11 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: called that company and I think they went under. I 12 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: don't think the company existed anymore. I think they were 13 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: having some internal problems, so they went from being a 14 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: very good sponsor for us to be. I don't think 15 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: the owner was involved anymore. 16 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. 17 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: I think the owner moved or went away, or who 18 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: knows what, But I was not aware of that. And 19 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: then when I had problems and reached out, I couldn't 20 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 3: get my contact to make good on those things, and 21 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 3: that was disappointing to me. 22 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 1: And so. 23 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: That's my occasional reminder. This person called that company and 24 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: had them do work, and the work was shoddy and 25 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: the people wouldn't fix it, or that company wouldn't fix it. 26 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: And now this person reached out and said, I need 27 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 3: you to know this and can you help me? And 28 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: I had to say, I don't think the owners involved anymore. 29 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: I don't think the owners around anymore. And by the way, 30 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: I haven't spoken for this company for years. So and 31 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 3: the person was surprised to hear this. And so this 32 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: is my occasional reminder. We have created a business model 33 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: and it almost always works. But the way that business 34 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: model works is you reach out and say, hey, I 35 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: need this kind of work done because I have someone 36 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: who now is in that field and would have done 37 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: great work and we wouldn't have had a problem. But 38 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: this person said, I'm so sorry. I thought, no, don't 39 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: be sorry. You're the one who lost all this money 40 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: on a major home repair project that now doesn't work 41 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: and it was shoddy business. And I would have never 42 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: sent you there because I'm surprised they're still in business 43 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: on us. But whatever they changed, and that happens, right. 44 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: I've seen people marry someone who's wonderful and something happens 45 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: hormonal weight gain, weight loss. They changed, They're not who 46 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: they used to be. That's the point we separate. But 47 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: if you need something and I don't know why people 48 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 3: won't reach out to me directly. I will never understand that. 49 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 3: I know that some people think, well, he's too important, 50 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 3: he's too busy. I don't I hear all this. You're 51 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: too busy to fool with that. I don't have hobbies. 52 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: I don't play golf, I don't go hunt, I don't 53 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: go fish. I work. I love my work. I am 54 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: in the perfect position. I don't want to run for 55 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: politics because I don't want to have to leave what 56 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: I'm doing. I knew Bongino would come back to doing 57 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: his podcast because he loves it and it was fun 58 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: for him to do what he did for a year. 59 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: But I knew he would want to come back and 60 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: do it. And for me, it's not just about doing 61 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: the show and the fact that I get entree into 62 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: people who will take my calls and email me in 63 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: exchange information with me that they probably wouldn't anyone else 64 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: because they trust it. I'm not going to burn them, 65 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: and they want to explain the situation to me so 66 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: I can explain it to you. 67 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: But also, I love the business side of it. 68 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: I love business, and it makes some people feel awkward 69 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: when I say this. I know I've heard it, but 70 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: I run a business, just like Joe Bob's home repair 71 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 3: or doors or transmissions or tires or roofs or windows. 72 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: I run a business, and I'm conscious that I run 73 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: a business, and that business employs a team of people, 74 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: a fair number of people for what we do. 75 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people that rely on us. 76 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: That is show sponsors whose businesses rely on us, and 77 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: that is listeners who trust when they'll reach out that 78 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: they're going to get better service. I can't promise you 79 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: one hundred percent performance, because everybody's going to have a 80 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: bad day. I'm sure at some point I sent somebody 81 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: to Greeno's that didn't have a good meal. I don't 82 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: remember it, but I'm sure it happened, and I'm sure 83 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: that if that person complained, I sent it to Russell 84 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: and he comped another meal. And probably one guy was 85 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: bitching so much, as was years ago. He just wouldn't 86 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: stop bitching about the meal he had, and so I 87 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: asked him to go back. He claimed he had another 88 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: bad meal. We knew it was lying, so I sent 89 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: it to Russell, and Russell reached out and said, I 90 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: tell what, let's you and I have lunch and let's 91 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: go through. 92 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: And the guy just didn't like their food, and that 93 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: was that. 94 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: You know, don't go there anymore. You're more time, you're 95 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: more trouble with. It's okay to not like a place's food. 96 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: Just don't tell me that they're not good at what 97 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: they do or they're horrible. That is the way they 98 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: You don't have to like that style of chip or 99 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: that style of tortilla. That's not your kind of restaurant. 100 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: Move on, We're okay. But I say all that to 101 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: say this, If you need a service, email me through 102 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: the website.

Promone asked a provocative question 148 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: the other day about this song, which is Queen with 149 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: David Bowie.

And he said, well, you 158 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: should ask that question because it's a good question. And 159 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: I got to thinking about it. Did you have something 160 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 3: else or was that the only thing you thought of? 161 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: The thing about it is, if you love George straight, 162 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: you should love that song, right, no matter like you 163 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: could you could hate gay people and you should still 164 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 3: love that song.

The technical proficiency of 168 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 3: the song, the vocal range, the way Bowie manages to 169 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 3: be a part of a band that he's not part 170 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 3: of but yet still separate out. 171 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing. I mean, it's just incredible. So 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: that's the question. 173 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: Seven three nine, one thousand, and I know Gay Dave 174 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: was out there just trying to rot to redoal the 175 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: show and tell us what is the gayest thing that 176 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 3: every straight dude you like. You don't get to decide, 177 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: Gay Dave. You know, Gay Dave became an ice agent, 178 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: a border patrol. He became a border patrol, so he 179 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: told us about it. 180 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. 181 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: He became a border patrol. After President Trump got elected, 182 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: he came out of retirement and he became border Patrol, 183 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: and he was enjoying it. 184 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: I was getting updates. 185 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: He felt like he was doing some good. And it 186 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 3: was like the day before Thanksgiving or day before Christmas. 187 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: I forget and they say to him, we need you 188 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis tomorrow. He did not realize how bad Minneapolis 189 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: was going to get. And he says, I haven't seen 190 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 3: forgive the term ramon, but it's his term, not mine. 191 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: Haven't seen my husband in thirty days. And they were like, dude, 192 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 3: you're a dude. You can't have a no, I said, 193 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: they did that. They said, well, you need to be 194 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis tomorrow or. 195 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: Or what. 196 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: And they said, well, you'll have to be terminated. And 197 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 3: he said, well then you just have to terminate me. 198 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: I came out of retirement to do this, to serve 199 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: my country. I've worked thirty days with no day off. 200 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: I want to see my forgive the termino husband. So 201 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: he came back home to Houston, sent me a message 202 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: and said, hey, I decided I'm not you know, I 203 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 3: didn't think that was appropriate. They could have given me 204 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: a few days before I went up there. I would 205 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: have gone up there, but okay, fine, Hey, sometimes things 206 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: just don't work. But anyway, seven one, three, nine, nine, nine, 207 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: one thousand, and the question is the gayest thing that 208 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,599 Speaker 3: every straight dude should like. 209 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: It can be. 210 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: Event related or food related. I had a conversation with 211 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 3: a dude the other day about the fact that gay 212 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 3: dudes and lesbians should be Republicans. You look at Scott Besson, 213 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: who's turned out to be a fantastic, fantastic Treasury secretary, 214 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: and then he just absolutely bitch slapped Gavin Newsom the 215 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: other day at Davos, calling him sparkle Bunny Ken. We 216 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: didn't know what Sparkle Bunny Ken was a Ken doll 217 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: like Barbie and Ken. So Ramon looked it up and 218 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: he goes, oh god, he is the model for Sparkle 219 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 3: Bunny Ken. Well, only a gay dude would know that. 220 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: But my point is, Peter Thiel, Scott Bessen, there's a 221 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: lot of rich gay dudes. And by the way, holmos 222 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 3: have more money than straight people, just so you know, 223 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 3: because they don't have kids, and a lot of them 224 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: are very very self centered, so they go to school. 225 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: They were on there. They're very rarely well I don't 226 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 3: know if that's rarely. They're not poor as often as 227 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 3: we are. And a lot of them have a lot 228 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: of money, and we've driven them into the Democrat Party, 229 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: which is really dumb. And I think that's partly because 230 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 3: there are certain people who are creeped out by them. 231 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: Some of those are clauset homosexuals. Some of them are 232 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: just creeped out by somebody being different. Some of them 233 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: think that if they don't hate gays, their kid will 234 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: end up gay, which is the gayest thing you can 235 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: ever think, but whatever. So my point is, I think 236 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: Trump has done a good job. Because Trump had good 237 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: relations with homos in the past. We should be winning 238 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 3: back homos. And at the same time, we should be 239 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: winning one hundred percent of Hispanics as well, unless somebody 240 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 3: is in the country illegally as a Hispanic. Hispanics share 241 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: our values. We should be winning the vast majority of them, 242 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: but we're not, and that is because they are pro family, 243 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 3: pro community, pro education, pro military, pro law enforcement. We 244 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 3: should be winning the hearts and minds of Hispanics. We 245 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 3: should stay focused on that issue. We should also be 246 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 3: winning Jews. We're not, but we're doing better or doing better. 247 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: I heard about a women's Jewish group this week where 248 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 3: Jews are starting to understand that they have no place 249 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: in Democrat Party. I don't really care why you come 250 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 3: over the fact that you start to realize that the 251 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: other party is freakish. 252 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: So be it all right? 253 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one 254 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 3: three nine one thousand, JB. 255 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 4: You're up. Go ahead, Hello, Michael, thank you for taking 256 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 4: my call. I I grew up in I'm a little 257 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 4: older than you. I graduated high school at Bellair High 258 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 4: School in Newston in. 259 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Eighty six, yeah, three years. 260 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. So during that time I was in those dance 261 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 4: clubs in Houston from the late eighties to the early nineties, 262 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: and the music was fantastic. The whole scene was crazy, fun, 263 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: not like things are today today. You know, you can't 264 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 4: take a pill unless it's because it might have a 265 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 4: fitanel in it, or it might have hair. When you 266 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: know it was it's it's it's not the way it 267 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: is now. But my point is I learned real quick 268 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 4: that those bands that I loved at those dance clubs, 269 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: all those bands were gay. 270 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was punk and new wave. Those were 271 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: all homo that that era. 272 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: The early eighties, I mean, sorry, the early the late eighties, 273 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 3: early nine they're all those bands. 274 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: You know, they look at me. See that's just it. 275 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: That's even know, that's know that that stuff from the 276 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: mid to late eighties wasn't gay. 277 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: It would have been gay to our parents, but it 278 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: wasn't gay. Like nobody was being gay. It was like 279 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: Jubau jeans and Swatch watches. We were just like you know, 280 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 3: Andre agassy hair shaved on the sideline on the top, 281 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: no two pey. 282 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: That was what we did. 283 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: But that wasn't don't have him been gay at your school, 284 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: anybody that you knew was gay. There was one dude 285 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 3: that we later found out was gay. His name was 286 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: Steve Something. I think he took his own life in 287 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: his twenties. Your best friend actor like okay, anyway, Steve 288 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: and a group of these goth kids, he's little Marilyn 289 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: Manson following kids. Steve wore a duster every day, and 290 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: he wore the black Doc Martin's, although we didn't know 291 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 3: there were Doc Martin's back then. It might not have 292 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 3: been a brand, but that's what they were. And he 293 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: painted his nails black and uh sometimes he wore black lipstick. 294 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: And you think to yourself, oh, I bet he got 295 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 3: picked on no when we graduated. He was about six 296 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: four two seventy, big fat dude with a mullet and 297 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 3: kind of a pressy tone to him. But do you 298 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: remember Three's Company, You remember they brought in the guy 299 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 3: that was real? No, no, no, no, mister Furley, remember 300 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: they brought brought in the guy that, uh you don't 301 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,239 Speaker 3: remember anyway, you can kind of talk like him. But 302 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 3: they got arrested and got into a bunch of trouble 303 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: because they killed a dude's horse and they disemboweled it 304 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 3: as some sort of Satanic rituals. Can you pick those 305 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 3: lines up as some sort of Satanic rituals? Which was 306 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: just creepy, weird. But it was the era of the 307 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 3: Maryland Manson. This might have been before Manson, but they 308 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 3: were Marilyn Manson esque. They were gothy type people, and 309 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: I don't know if they were Satanists or just wanted 310 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 3: to pretend they were. You never really know if you 311 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: know how much of that is the look. But he 312 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 3: and another girl that went to school with us who 313 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 3: had a lot of trauma because we found out our 314 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: senior year that her father had a whole separate family 315 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: in another town. Yeah, yeah, So if you read the book, 316 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: this thing is called The Big Rich's by a guy 317 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 3: named Brian Burrows, and he writes it about Lafayette Hunt, 318 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 3: of the Hunt family, the Hunts that ended up owning 319 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs at one point. I believe they 320 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 3: owned the Dallas Texans. But they also tried to make 321 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: a run on funny because silver's back in the news. 322 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 3: They also tried to make a run on cornering the 323 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: silver market. Maybe that was the Bass family, but I 324 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 3: think the Hunts were in on that too. Anyway, So 325 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: Lafayette Hunt had a family in Dallas and a family 326 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: in Tyler, maybe in the thirties, ish, I don't know. 327 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 3: Burroughs writes a chapter on the six big oil families 328 00:18:52,440 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 3: of Texas, the Cullens, the Hunts, the Richardson's. Well I 329 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: think Murchison might be in them, but I'm not positive. Anyway, 330 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: it's about these these rich oil families.

So we're going to do a 529 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: one night dating night. You don't need to email me. 530 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 3: I'll talk about it. I got to figure out how 531 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 3: to structure the damn things, because twenty year olds don't 532 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 3: want to date seventy year olds unless they're a twenty 533 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 3: year old women looking for a sugar daddy, and fifty 534 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 3: year olds don't want to date twenty five year olds, 535 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 3: and on and on and on.
