In the South, an expression 27 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 3: may be made that they don't even intend to be funny, 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 3: but Southerners are naturally humorous. The funeral possession started by, 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 3: and everybody got quiet, got reverent, turned toward the street, 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: put the hand over the heart, and I whispered to 31 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: this old boy, I said, who died? He said to 32 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: one in the first car. 33 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: Our show sponsor and my friend Rick Doak, who is 34 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: our farming ranch realtor, said, sent me a message during 35 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: the break. You probably already figured this out, but Carol 36 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: is the best. She's my go to for everything fish 37 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: and pond related. All my farm buyers. First thing they 38 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: want to do is dig upon and second thing they 39 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: want to do is stock it. And she takes great 40 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: care of them. You know, it's funny because in our 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: listening audience, we've got people that are still fighting the 42 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: rat race, you know at Guest and I ten or 43 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: bel Air in fifty nine and just fighting the rat race, 44 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: dealing with Democrats, dealing with traffic, dealing with the noise. 45 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: You know, I had become so sensitive to noise since 46 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: I became more protective of my hearing. I had hearing 47 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: loss as a kid because of allers had tubes twice, 48 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: and so I've always been protective of my hearing just 49 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 2: because I don't want to go deaf. Because my grandfather, 50 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: all my grandfather's relative they all worked at Bethlehem Steel 51 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: and so all that banging out there, they all you know, 52 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: if you were in there for huh huh, and it's 53 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: a horrible way to go through life. And they didn't 54 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: they didn't have memorial hearing back then, and so they 55 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: didn't have the hearing aid technology to be able to, 56 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: you know, have a higher quality of life. And it's 57 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: it's difficult, it's frustrating when you can't hear. So anyway, 58 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: I've become so much more sensitive to noise, loud noise 59 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: and noise is we take for granted if you walk 60 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: into a if you walk into a crowded place, you 61 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: will notice the people you're with will talk louder as 62 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: the music or other conversations go louder, and they don't 63 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: even realize they're doing it, and it's uh. I we 64 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: had dinner party last night and I was everybody there 65 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: was about my age, and we were talking about this 66 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: and how you feel like you've become very old when 67 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, loud noises bother you, and you 68 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: can say, all right, Pap Paul, it's true. I got it. 69 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: I realize how awful it sounds. But that doesn't make 70 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: it any less true. I'd rather not go to crowded 71 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: places because the noises bother me or loud you know, 72 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: volume bothers me. But there's people that are that are moving. 73 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: There are people that are living this life. You know, 74 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: they go to the grocery store and they're looking around 75 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: because there's some Democrat gonna come running it at any 76 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: minute with a gun and they'll shoot you or not 77 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 2: shoot you, it doesn't matter. It's whatever they feel like 78 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: at that moment. They do not care.

And it's 224 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: kind of funny because we're in that same exact situation 225 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: as we speak. You're looking right now where yeah, we 226 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: we uh, we currently live out on the west side 227 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: right now, but we're looking at getting further out to 228 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: get away from the growth. 229 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: Where are you on the west side? 230 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: Little town called Pattison kind of north northwest of Brookshire. 231 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you're a little ways out already. But 232 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: is it? Is it? There's still too much going on? 233 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: Are you afraid there will be in a couple of years? 234 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: What's your mindset? 235 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: There's there's growth coming out our way, so we're starting 236 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: to see, you know, the neighbors, and of course with 237 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: that comes the increase in traffic. And when we moved 238 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: out here about ten years ago, it wasn't like that. 239 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, you could be twenty minutes you 240 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: get into KD and now it's you know, every bit 241 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: of a thirty minute drive. You can't go five minutes 242 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: down the road without running into crazy driving all around you. 243 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can't. I've got I've become intolerant of that. 244 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: I've become very intolerant. You know, even somebody pulling up 245 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: to the red light and your whole car is shaking, 246 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: And it's all I can do to think from saying 247 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: to think from saying, well do you think? Did you 248 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: do you think? Is there somebody in this circle or 249 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: in this intersection that in your mind is going wow? 250 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: That guy has everybody vibrating. I can't deal with with 251 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: the arguing with the store clerk. I can't deal with that. 252 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: You don't know who I am. I know who you is. 253 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: I know very well who you is. I don't know 254 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 2: your name. I don't need to, but I know who 255 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: you are. I know the type. I've seen it a 256 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: million times, and I just I don't the whole the 257 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: whole city urban experience has degraded. And this is this 258 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: is cultural. Politics is downstream from culture. Andrew Breitbart used 259 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: to say that the culture went south before the politics did, 260 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: but this was not always the case. What what we're 261 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: seeing the separation of people into two and this idea 262 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: and this kind of third world country that's been dropped 263 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: into our country, uh, with different values and and and 264 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: all of that. Well, I got to tell you, Douglas, 265 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: I enjoyed looking as much as I did buying and 266 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: living there. Embrace this. This is this is fun. Brings 267 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: you baias Michael Berry brings your bias went and sound 268 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: way down the Undershawn Jones is this Democrat felony judge 269 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: who is Rodney's poster child. And I leave it there. 270 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: If a black murderer is brought into his case, into 271 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: his court and he's, you know, got ten felony convictions 272 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: on him and he's just murdered another person, DeShawn Jones 273 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: practically does a GoFundMe for the guy, you know, sends 274 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: him on his way. What all can we do for you? 275 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: How can we help you? Please? Go kill again? He's 276 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 2: done this again and again and again and again. Well, 277 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: the good news is I'm getting through the rumor mial. 278 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: But it's it's it is surprisingly credible because it goes 279 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: pretty close to the top that he will resign from 280 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: being a judge on October first. That is the good news. 281 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: The bad news is it is because Rodney's putting him 282 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: in his county attorney So with Christian Menefee running in 283 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: the congressional seat now minef he's out there in the 284 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: eighteenth Congressional district campaigning away. Once he steps down from 285 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: his county attorney seat, he loses that income and bow 286 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 2: ties are expensive, and so he runs in the special election. 287 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: If he wins that special election, she very well may not. 288 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: At least he'll draw a paycheck until next November, so 289 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 2: that would be his job for a year. If he 290 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: doesn't win the special election, and there's a Republican because 291 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: it's a wide open they call him jungle primaries, it's 292 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: a Republican in this election. Carmen Montille I think is 293 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: her name Montiel. There's a Republican Hispanic woman. I think 294 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 2: she's first generation immigrant who's running. Wouldn't that be a 295 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: hoot for a Republican to win that seat. It's possible 296 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: if she stays the only Republican and you got a 297 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: bunch of Democrats running, it's possible she could win that 298 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: and then would have a Republican in that seat. All 299 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: the way through January of twenty twenty seven. That's worth 300 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: it even if you lost next November, because you had 301 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: a heads up Republican Democrat in a seventy six percent 302 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 2: Democrat district. Even if you lost next November, that is 303 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: a huge boost to Trump. To add a Republican even 304 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: if only for what fourteen months, that's a huge book. 305 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: That's worth investing some time and energy. Carmen Montiel I 306 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: think is her name, but I'm not looking at it, 307 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: something like that. Carmen is her first name. She's very, 308 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 2: very attractive, Hispanic woman tall. Actually yeah, So anyway, so 309 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 2: Christian Menafie could lose the county attorney seat, and if 310 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 2: al Green runs in eighteen, al Green's gonna beat him. 311 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: So remember al Green's district now flips Republican he runs 312 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 2: in eight It's expected to run in Congressional District eighteen 313 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: next November. So after the special election, if Carmen wins, 314 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: that would not only be awesome and cool and fun 315 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 2: and all of that, it would be a huge, huge 316 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: boost to Trump. Because we're down counting the votes now, 317 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: we're a vote here in a vote there away, all right, 318 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna tell you my story. Oh, Bertha's got 319 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 2: a fish story, all right, Bertha. And then I want 320 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: to tell you my bo Okay. 321 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 5: Go ahead, sweetheart, Okay, I just want to tell you 322 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 5: my fish story. I was a time only in our family. 323 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 5: There were seven girls and one boy in my life family. 324 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 5: I was a third born and I was the only 325 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 5: one that wanted to hunt and fish. So I'm fishing 326 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 5: at this little creek by myself. I took the rifle, 327 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 5: my two dogs, and my fishing gear, and I'm fixing 328 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 5: to cast out. But I had no idea. My parents 329 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 5: and a couple of my sisters had come up behind me. 330 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 5: So when I put my ride back to cast out 331 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 5: and went forward, I thought I had snagged a limb 332 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 5: on a tree, or a limb off the ground or something. 333 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 5: And when I turned around, I had snagged my sister 334 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 5: in the nose. Oh oh, Luckily it wasn't real bad. 335 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 5: The bar didn't go through and Dad was able to 336 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 5: pull it out. And I can't even remember if it 337 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 5: bled or not. But I felt so bad about it. 338 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 5: I'll never forget that, and I still apologized to her 339 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 5: for that. 340 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: Man, I've got so many good getting hung on a 341 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 2: hook stories Bertha, I love them. My friend Jonathan Kim, 342 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 2: who's the number two for Russell Lebarrow, he runs the 343 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: operations now, and he took his girlfriend Emma fishing, and 344 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: he pulls back somehow and hangs it on her nose, 345 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: and she was a trooper about it. She was a trooper. 346 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: But it took over an hour to get it out 347 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 2: of there. They were on the verge of going to 348 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: the hot They had exhausted all options and they were 349 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: going on the verge of going to the hospital at 350 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: that point. But when he finally pulled it out of there, 351 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: he yanked it. So now she just has a big hole, 352 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: gaping hole in the middle of her face. I'm just kidding, 353 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: that's not true. I had a buddy named Robert Wagner. 354 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 2: He's a mortgage broker. He's done very well in Houston. 355 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: He was married to my friend Jim McGrath's wife, Paulina, 356 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 2: which was how I knew him. And he and I 357 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: had a mutual friend named Bud Holmes. Bud Holmes was 358 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: a Mississippi legend. He was a district attorney in I 359 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: think Hattisburg there, and he he was an old Southern 360 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 2: Democrat who had become kind of a government fixer type. 361 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: So I had been introduced to Bud and he invited 362 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 2: me on a fishing trip in Venice, Louisiana, which is 363 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: some of the best fishing in the world. I'm told again, 364 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 2: I don't have a lot, I don't have a good 365 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: base to draw from, but I'm told, and he had 366 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: a houseboat out there, and so we all go and 367 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: it's twenty years ago, but we get up. We stay 368 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: up too late. He's got bunks all in there. I mean, 369 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 2: it's a heck of a trip, right and oh you 370 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 2: know what it was. It was it was the fall 371 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: of five because he took us down to the Pontra 372 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: train yacht basin or whatever it's called right there, and 373 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 2: we saw all these boats. They hadn't even gotten them 374 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 2: out of there yet. All these boats looked like what 375 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: orange looked like at the time, were pushed up on 376 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 2: the shore and they had mud all over them. And 377 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 2: you just see all these boats that are never going 378 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 2: to be used again, you know, after a storm and 379 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 2: a flood like that. I've been through it to me 380 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 2: many times now. It's so depressing. But anyway, so next 381 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: day we're out fishing and there's several groups of us 382 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: and we're all going out in different boats. We come 383 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: back and Robert's got somebody hung this huge hook into 384 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 2: the crook of his arm. Okay, and Robert always has 385 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: a dip in his mouth, so he's a real smart feller, 386 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: but you wouldn't know it because when he talked, you 387 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: can't hardly understand what you're saying because a build diep 388 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: in his mouth. Well, I think he's got a double 389 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: big dip at this point. And there is much discussion 390 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 2: about Bud wants to take him to the hospital because 391 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 2: we're gonna be out there for several days. He don't 392 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: want this thing getting infected and losing an arm and 393 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: him getting sued or something. So Robert's saying, no, no, no, 394 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 2: we're gonna push it through. We're gonna get it out here. 395 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 2: So there's much back and forth at a moment like this, 396 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: you know, there's always a lot of intensity of the 397 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: moment like this, and Robert's got a pretty high pain threshold, 398 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 2: which I come to learn. So Robert said, we're doing it, 399 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: and we're doing it now, and he takes a there's 400 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: a Jack Daniels. J's Jack Daniels because that's the black. Yeah. 401 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: He takes a Jack Daniels and he takes a big 402 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: swill of it, I mean a big one, and he 403 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: slams it down and he turns away and he and 404 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: they pushed that thing through. It was the biggest hook 405 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: I've ever seen come out of a human being. They 406 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: had to push it all the way through because you 407 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: couldn't pull it back because the bar would catch it. 408 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 2: Could you maybe audibly laugh when I tell a joke 409 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: like that? So I know you thought it was funny, 410 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: Michael Berry, No, I won't do that. It's too much 411 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: for she won't go that far. That was so funny. 412 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: Get on the side to hide. 413 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsome, it's so desperate. It's it's like a TV sitcom. 414 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: He watches what Trump does, and then he tries, he 415 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 2: tries to win up Trump and then they One of 416 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 2: his advisers admitted that he had started cussing because he 417 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 2: wanted to be like Trump. Everything he does. Now it's 418 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: what what can he do to be like Trump? So 419 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: Trump starts sending in the National Guard. The mayor Muriel Bowser, 420 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: no fan of Trump, had a press conference this week 421 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: where she thanked Trump for sending in the National Guard 422 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: because they haven't had a murder in over two weeks. Now. 423 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: This is unheard of. It's the lowest murder rate they've 424 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: had since the founding of the district. DC is safe again. 425 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 5: It worked. 426 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: You got the people of Chicago begging for him to 427 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: send him there. The governor of Maryland has now openly 428 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: changed his position, openly asked if he would send the 429 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 2: National Guard into Baltimore. Because what happens is, you can 430 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 2: play politics all day long climate change, and it just 431 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 2: becomes an academic conversation. But when it comes to street murders, 432 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 2: street thugs, and you can make that stop. Even the 433 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: Democrats will go, hey, look, I don't like Trump neither, 434 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: but uh, could y'all send in the National Guard? So 435 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: so Trump sends in the National Guard, and these boys 436 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 2: are not trained as police officers. They're coming in with 437 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: actual training. And and then you've got California, where Gavin 438 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: Newsom keeps saying no, no, you can't send in the 439 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: National Guard. We don't want you here. We don't want 440 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 2: the National Guard. We don't want a lower crime, but 441 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: don't want to lower murders. We don't want we don't 442 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 2: want to weaponize. We don't want to. We don't want 443 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 2: a police state. Well he's getting so much hell that 444 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: he can't now cave and go all right, send in 445 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: the national Guard. So he says, I'll send into my 446 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: own National Guard. I'll send in the California Highway Patrol. 447 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: We'll see him and then punch and John. 448 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 449 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna send in the guys that write tickets 450 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 2: on the Pacific Coast Highway. We're gonna send in the 451 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: ticket writers from the freeway. Here they come. And those 452 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: big old clunker motorcycles, the big gliders, well here they're 453 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 2: coming here. They're light tan uniforms. How do you think 454 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: that's gonna work. This is not gonna be like DC, 455 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: where the bad guys are scared to death of the 456 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: National Guard because they'll shoot you. They're gonna see the 457 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: California Highway Patrol. We were just imagining how that's gonna 458 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: play out tonight on a special edition of Cops. DC's 459 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: Trump's cracking down on crimes and it's working in the 460 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 2: name of Donald J. 461 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 5: Trump stuff. 462 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 2: Right there, you fall under arrest, damn man Trump, and 463 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: is National Guard hurting my loving game? 464 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 5: Oh? 465 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: I thought this is America.

And Phil is a 493 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 2: partner at a new firm called Shepherd that, oddly enough, 494 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: a guy I used to work for when I was 495 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: a baby lawyer named Andreas Contramist. He's the I think 496 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: managing partner of this new firm now. But Phil is 497 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: a fascinating character because his family are originally from China, 498 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 2: but they migrated through Singapore where he lived and came 499 00:29:55,040 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: up through a as a police officer slash army. And 500 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: his wife, Karen is one of these Asian women who's 501 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 2: just genius. They come to the United States, they both 502 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: become law firm partners. Raised I don't know twenty five 503 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: kids or so wonderful dear friends of ours. Michael T's 504 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: first trick or treating he was buzz light Year. We 505 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: did it because the neighborhood where where we lived didn't 506 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: have tricker treating, so we went to bell Air because 507 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: they had a very active trick or treating community. So 508 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 2: we did it there. And that's how close of friends 509 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: we are. But I don't get to see him anymore. 510 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: So they came Karen Stallings and her boyfriend named mcgil James. 511 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 2: Nice fella. He reminds me of a college professor. Anyway, 512 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: probably the first person I've ever met in my life 513 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: who drives a Subaru outback. But I really like him. 514 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: I really, really genuinely like this guy, despite driving a 515 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: Suberu outback. And I made that point. I don't think 516 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 2: he knew how to take that, because most people don't. 517 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 2: But I had not actually met face to face the 518 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: new concierge doctor.
