I did not 55 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: get to see it. I just saw the stat line afterwards. 56 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: Did you watch it? Was he just throwing curs. In 57 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: the course of my career as a Houston Astros fan 58 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: and watching a lot of baseball over the years. 59 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: Not as much today as I used to. 60 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: I really don't recall a guy who throws more curveballs 61 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: or more breaking balls. How about that more off speed pitches. 62 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: I really I don't recall anybody throwing that high a percentage. 63 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: I think I think he gets into the sixties. I 64 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: saw stat several years ago for the for that year, 65 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: and he was the highest number and it was loaded 66 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: mid sixties. 67 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: That's a lot I tea you. 68 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: Since we're on the subject of breaking balls, what doesn't 69 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 2: get its credit is Nolan Ryan's twelve six curveball. I 70 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: go back sometimes and I'll watch an inning of him pitching. 71 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: They're all over YouTube. You can watch anything you want 72 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: if you know how to search for it, and you 73 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: forget what a fool he would make of people. It's 74 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: like Little League baseball when a kid has a curve 75 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: and nobody knows how to hit it yet. I mean 76 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: they are loaded for bear. I mean they're trying to 77 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: get out in front of that fastball because it just 78 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: went fast. It went past them, and they had a 79 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: dopper effect ringing in their ears, and they're ready to 80 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: sit on that fastball and try to make contact on it. 81 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: And there comes that thing, and man, what a fool 82 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: he makes out of them. Channel two KPRC TV has 83 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: obtained emails and text messages between Lena had Allgo and 84 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 2: her staff with leaders of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. 85 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: Last year, Loony Lena invited the rodeo chairman, the first 86 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: woman to be chairman of the Rodeo, pat Man Phillips, 87 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: who by all accounts is just a lovely lady. She 88 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: is very well respected. Pat Man Phillips to join her 89 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: on that quote unquote trade mission to Paris, you remember 90 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: the one she couldn't get the full amount to bring 91 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: her whole coteret, her retinue, her posse, if you will well, 92 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: she invited the chair of the chairman of the rodeo 93 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: to that. Phillips did not go. Good move, but it 94 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 2: raises the question, how does Lena have a budget to 95 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: do these things? 96 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: How is there. 97 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: Space to these things? Cost money? How many other people 98 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: is she inviting? This woman had the good sense not 99 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: to go. A little Birdie had told me several years ago. 100 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: They were quite concerned about Lena, and they were quite 101 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: concerned that she would end up doing exactly what she did. 102 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: But their fear was realized. They hoped that it would 103 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: never come to pass. But when you do what they 104 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: do for as long as they do, you recognize a 105 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: ticking time bomb when you see it, and you just 106 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: hope you can tamp it down. You hope that she 107 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 2: doesn't have a volatile explosion the way that she did. 108 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: Channel two asked for the number of free tickets she 109 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: has received to the rodeo, and quote an attorney for 110 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: the judge said, they have no responsive information. Oh that's 111 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: not gonna work. We're gonna need to know. We're gonna 112 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: need to know. In fact, you're gonna find out because 113 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: she kicked the rodeo and the teeth won too many times. 114 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: And I don't think she quite realizes what you're doing 115 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: when you do that. The rodeo is not some group 116 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: of dudes with dirt in a stadium and a few 117 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: horses and cattle. You're talking about every powerful person in 118 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: the community and and and not not just elected officials. 119 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: You looney, Lena, She's she's not looking good for her 120 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: with his finger on the pulse. The King of Ten 121 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 2: continues on the Michael Berry Show. They passed the Dutchy 122 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: was an amazing, unexpected hit. 123 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: Let's do the same thing, just change the words a 124 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: little bit. See what happened here. 125 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: You're claiming that's what Leonard Skinner did. You can't hear 126 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: Leonard Skinner? 127 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: Well, this is odd. 128 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: Military Times reports quote in a sweeping change to its 129 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: enlistment enlistments regulations, the Army has raised the maximum age 130 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: for eligible recruits to forty two.

Forty two doesn't sound that old, But 146 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: once you hit your forty stuff starts slowing down. I'd 147 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: imagine that basic training might look a little different for 148 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: these guys. 149 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 10: Alarming news now from the military as the Army raises 150 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 10: the recruitment aged to a whopping forty two.

You're very 214 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: different at forty two than you are at nineteen.

Psychologically, you 223 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: start weighing the pros and cons of that order and 224 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: whether it's a good idea, especially when bodies stop dropping. 225 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. 226 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: It's an interesting That doesn't mean that they're going to 227 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: fill the army with a bunch of forty year olds. 228 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: It's just giving them the capability of doing that.

I got to 333 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: know him because of a fellow named Jack Carlson, who 334 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: was one of his senior executives. I think he has 335 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: long since retired. And Jack's son, Neil Carlson I hired 336 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: as my campaign manager. He had just come out of 337 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: Fort Hood, where he had been kind of the aide 338 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: de camp, the ADC for the commander at Fort Hood. 339 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 2: Neil had gone to West Point.

In the political world. 344 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: It's not in any way odd for a man to 345 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 2: take on the role of what would in the private 346 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: world be an assistant, and that's usually a sign that 347 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 2: that person's going on to do other things when they're done. 348 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: That's how you get that experience, you learn to act 349 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: like an executive. We are going to need to, by 350 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: the end of the year hire somebody like that for 351 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: our show, So I will I will put that out there. 352 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: We're going to need to hire. 353 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 2: My wife calls it a boy Friday, a person who 354 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: runs errands, drops things off, helps to organize and these 355 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: sorts of things.

So this weekend I turned 405 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 4: on the television and there was a group of a big, 406 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 4: large group of people, and this young man had the 407 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 4: bullhorn and he was saying, every time, are you as 408 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 4: serviceman come in to the back to the United States 409 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 4: and the casket cheer And they were just cheering like 410 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 4: they were cheering as a parade was going by. And 411 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 4: I got, how delnt it can you be that you 412 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 4: would stand there and cheer for these young people, these 413 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 4: young men and young women that have gone off the 414 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 4: wall in very dangerous situations to protect us, and you 415 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 4: are cheering when they come back and a casket. It 416 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 4: is something definitely wrong with you. And that that really 417 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 4: that saddened me. That saddened me to the core to 418 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 4: see us in this nation with this kind of hate. 419 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 4: And then another thing. I turned on the TV and 420 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 4: I had to turn it off because every way I 421 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: went it was Tiger Woods. And I take nothing from 422 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 4: him of being a great godler, but I just want 423 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 4: to encourage America. Don't love him to his death, because 424 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 4: if he was impaired because of prescription drugs, he still 425 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 4: needs some help. He needs a driver because some of 426 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 4: those drugs will tell you do not outweight, heavy quit, 427 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 4: do not drive, because some of those drugs make you 428 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 4: trousy and if he was impaired because of illicit drugs, 429 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 4: he needs to be in rehab. And stop, and let 430 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 4: me repeach, stop loving him to the grave. Because he 431 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 4: is a great offer. I can't take that away from him. 432 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 4: But he needs serious help. And I just want to 433 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 4: put that out there. And I say this with much 434 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 4: love because I admire him just like anybody else. But 435 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 4: I want to see him get some help because I 436 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 4: want to see him live. And he has had That's 437 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: not you, and that Tiger Wood is not the only 438 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 4: person that has had a wrent. Please the people right 439 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 4: here in my city.

I 446 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: have not talked to Russell. I think he's traveling, but 447 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: I know we had nine checks delivered to Federal American 448 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 2: Grill and Matt was going to add his own to 449 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: round it out to make it ten I've lost RJ's 450 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: number on the black line, so if RJ on the 451 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: black line could call in and I can get your 452 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 2: number again. 453 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: I was gonna see if you wanted to deliver it. 454 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: Otherwise we'll just mail them. 455 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: And I mailed my check three days ago, but I 456 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 2: did it through the bank, and they tend to take 457 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: a week to do that, so I'm figuring I did 458 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 2: do expedite it, so it may be there. Sometimes it 459 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: gets there faster, sometimes it takes a full week. 460 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: On the issue of. 461 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: Emailing someone you don't know in a formal capacity on 462 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: the fly, I will offer you the following sets of advice. 463 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 2: If you've got a young person that needs to hear this, 464 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: then you can share this on the podcast number one. 465 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: And this is good advice for any corresponse you ever 466 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: have with anybody. Put yourself in their shoes, not yours. 467 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: If you find yourself tempted to start a message with 468 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: I'm really nervous but or this is going to take 469 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: a while for me to say, or I want to 470 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: be brief, but I just can't. And I want you 471 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: to imagine walking up to someone who's busy and they're 472 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 2: going into their office. There's a meeting inside, and you 473 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 2: can say, excusecuse me just one second. Imagine excuse me soon, 474 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: just one second. I would now like to talk for 475 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: twenty five minutes about something. You don't know what I'm 476 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 2: going to talk about because I lack the discipline to 477 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: get to the point. You would never do that. Their 478 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: body language would reflect that. So the first thing is 479 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 2: put yourself in the mindset of your audience. Think if 480 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: you can, even though they're very different than you. They're 481 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 2: the CEO, they're the chairman, they're the busy person, and 482 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: you're not. So Imagine if you were a busy person 483 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: what that email would look like. Descriptive subject line For 484 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 2: people that read a lot of emails, and that is whether. 485 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: It's a talk show host or. 486 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: A very busy person of any form, they're going to 487 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: determine the value of your message by the subject line alone. 488 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 2: Don't write that off. That's your first shot to get 489 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: in the door. Put your best foot forward. Be brief less, 490 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: is more, earnest, seeming way right to the point. Use 491 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: nouns that are important to the story. If there is 492 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 2: a name you're going to drop, put that in the 493 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: first sentence. Maybe put that name there if you're talking 494 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: to someone and Mick Jagger sent you to them, put 495 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: Mick Jaggers said hello in the subject line. Don't bury 496 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: that in the eighth paragraph. Don't assume they're going to 497 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: read the entire message.
