And the 70 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: whole reason he did that is he saw girls at 71 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 4: A and M in nineteen fifty five and he was 72 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 4: fifteen sewing their panties up on the stage and got 73 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 4: his hair black and learned to play the guitar. 74 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: You know, I've seen many interviews with classic rock musicians 75 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: Jimmy Page, Robert playing you know, you name it, and 76 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: they ask them, you know why Eric Clapton, Why did 77 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: you learn to play the guitar? And they say, to 78 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: get chicks. It's never to make great art to express 79 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 2: the deep emotion I had in a way that came 80 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 2: out through my fingertips in this instrument. Never ever, ever, 81 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: It is always because they saw that. 82 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: The girls liked. 83 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: That's that's what the girls wanted, and that's what they did, 84 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: and then eventually that became what they were good at. 85 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: Speaking of which, I bought my wife an electric blanket 86 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: it being colder moon, I bought my wife an electric blanket, 87 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: and she gets aggravated when I call the old blankets 88 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: acoustic covers, because he is an electric way.

I'm not okay, Yes, go ahead. 102 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: You came into possession with that of that camera, which 103 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 2: is reputed to be the first actual video of Elvis 104 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: when he came to Elvis, when he came to Houston 105 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: Magnolia Gardens in nineteen fifty five, first footage of Elvis 106 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: performing anywhere, not just in Houston, anywhere. And you bought it, 107 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: I think you wrote me in nineteen ninety nine. How 108 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: did that happen? 109 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 5: Just from know it? The people that we knew, My 110 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 5: brother's best friend and the son of the lady that 111 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 5: actually did the filming went to high school together, and 112 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 5: my brother and his best friend, Larry, and then Monnie, 113 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 5: who's the son of the lady, were friends, and MONI 114 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 5: decided that he was going to sell the camera way 115 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 5: back in nineteen ninety nine. And that's that's how it happened, 116 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 5: just by pure coincidence, that they have to know each other. 117 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: And you said, the camera which you're now going to 118 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: sell is in mint conditions, still has the original box, 119 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: the whole deal. 120 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 5: Yes, sir, the camera is pretty pretty cool when you 121 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 5: see it. 122 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: I have to say, I mean maybe somebody in our 123 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: audience would would love to have it. You and I 124 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: talked about what it's worth, and it's worth what somebody 125 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: will walk in. I am surprised that hasn't solely already 126 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: because somebody's gonna want to hold them. 127 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 3: Mount down. 128 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: With more of the Michael Berry Show. One of the 129 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: newsletters I follow is called the Kobe ec Letter, and 130 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: it's on financial matters and they write as of an 131 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: hour ago. With the jobs report coming out today, the 132 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: FED pivot is officially dead. Stocks are crashing after the 133 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: US added nearly one hundred thousand more jobs than expected 134 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: in December. The unemployment rate fell to four point one percent, 135 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: just after the FED said the labor market was we 136 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 2: So why are stocks crashing? Let us explain to begin, 137 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: the US economy added two hundred and fifty six thousand 138 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 2: jobs in December, or ninety two thousand more than expected. 139 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 2: Because your immediate reaction should be when anyone gives you 140 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: the December jobs numbers, well that's just seasonal Christmas workers, 141 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: end of year and end of calendar year and Christmas workers. Fine, 142 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 2: but we have a baseline for what that's supposed to 143 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: look like, and we added more than that. Because the 144 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: Trump presidency has locked loose, has unlocked and knocked loose 145 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: a bunch of cash. I'm seeing it with our show sponsors. 146 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: I have been calling our show sponsors, are you seeing 147 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: a difference in business since the Trump election? Well, a 148 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: lot of people all the way up till November, we're 149 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: just trying to get through the election, and people were 150 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 2: holding onto their cash. They weren't investing. They weren't they 151 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 2: weren't spending money on research and deve development. They weren't 152 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: spending money on capital improvements. They weren't spending money on equipment. 153 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: They were anything cap X, anything labor that was a 154 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: long term call. They weren't touching it. Well, that money 155 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: didn't break loose a week or two after the election, 156 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: because now people had to figure out the landscape. Then 157 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: you went into Thanksgiving, then you begin December and the 158 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: Christmas holidays. So there was a sort of sense that 159 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: things are going to be better now. But you have 160 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people traveling, a lot of decisions that 161 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: need to be made or held off. Let's wait until 162 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: the new year, And it's not until this week that 163 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: I'm really seeing people got back after the New year, 164 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: and now they're ready to start making decisions. Michael Petru, 165 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: my trainer just had the biggest week they've ever had. Now. Yes, 166 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: it's a new year, so people are saying, you know what, 167 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: I need some strength training, I need I need to 168 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: do the things they've been meaning to do. It's a 169 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: new era. I want to live longer because Trump's going 170 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: to be president. I'm serious. People think this way because 171 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: there's more to live for. The feeling is things are better. 172 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: You're more when you're When you feel good and you're optimistic, 173 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: you start thinking about things like longevity and quality of life. 174 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: When things are depressed, whether that's just the economy and 175 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: the people like why know Kamala Harris drunk on TV, 176 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: there's less reason to be excited about the future, so 177 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: you don't start thinking about things like, let me take 178 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: care of my health, let me get let me strengthen 179 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: my core, even if you're eighty eight years old. So 180 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: I'm seeing that in so many different ways. Republic Grand 181 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: ranch folks are now showing up this past weekend one 182 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: of their biggest weekends they've ever had. I mean it's 183 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: just over and over and over again. Our CPAs Derouche 184 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: Partners checked in with them yesterday and they said, all 185 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: these people that have been kind of waiting with the 186 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: begin of the new year, said all right, we've had 187 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: a solo CPA. We need an aggressive approach to being 188 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: strategic about how we handle our taxes and our tax 189 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: planning and our business, our audit division, the whole thing. 190 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: So they're going, we just went from you know, pacing 191 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: along to all of a sudden, we're keeping long hours, 192 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 2: a lot going on. And granted, some of that is 193 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: a new year, and I've been saying all year, you know, 194 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: look at January as a time to renew your vows 195 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: to yourself, to your business, to your country, to your family, 196 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: and level these things up, get right, take care of yourself, 197 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: make some changes. So yes, some of that is just 198 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: that it is January, but a lot of that is 199 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 2: the mood in the nation, not just that Trump is president. 200 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: But hey, I'm not the only person out here making 201 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: good decisions. We're a nation of people that actually care 202 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 2: and that makes people feel good. On average, the US 203 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: economy has added one hundred and sixty five thousand jobs 204 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: over the last six months. This marks the highest six 205 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: month average since July of twenty four, when FED rate 206 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: cuts were being delayed the Fed messed up. Stocks are 207 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: trading sharply lower after the jobs report, even though it 208 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: came in stronger than expected. At first, this seems like 209 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense. Why would the market crash if 210 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: the US job market is actually stronger than expected. We 211 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: must first explain what happened in September. Here's the Fed 212 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: policy statement from September. The FED began rate cuts with 213 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: a fifty bps rate cut for the first time in 214 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. We were yeah, first time in 215 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, We were highly critical of this decision. 216 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: Their reasoning was that job gains have slowed and inflation 217 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: was heading to their two percent objective. However, since then, 218 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: the exact opposite is now happening. Job gains are accelerating 219 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: and inflation is clear back on the rise. This effectively 220 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: destroys the need for any FED rate cuts because remember, 221 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: let me step away from that for a moment. The 222 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: reason the rate goes high is the FED is trying 223 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: to pull money out of the economy. Inflation means there's 224 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: too much money in the economy. So the way you 225 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: pull money out of the economy is you reduce lending. 226 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: How do you reduce lending. You have to tell the 227 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: banks to make themselves less attractive to you and me, 228 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,119 Speaker 2: the borrower. How does a pretty bank become less attractive 229 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: to us, the very overly excited borrower. You raise the 230 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: interest rate, so folks that would have bought a new 231 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: house go, interest rates are to high, I'll wait. So 232 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: that has a calming effect on an inflationary economy. You're 233 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: pulling money out of the economy. You're saying, don't lend 234 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: the money. How do you tell banks who are in 235 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: the business of lending money to not lend money. Well, 236 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: you tell them that lending the money is going to 237 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: be at a higher rate. You're not going to get 238 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: your money at a rate that you can pass it 239 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: off at a chiefe brate to borrowers. So you're not 240 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: going to be able to lend as much money. When 241 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: you stop lending money, you pull money out of the economy. 242 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: When you pull money out of the economy, prices go 243 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: back down. If we don't have money, whether we've borrowed 244 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: it or made it, we don't have money to spend. 245 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: When we don't have money to spend supply and demand. 246 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: The supply remains the same, the demand reduces at that price. Remember, 247 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: price is how we communicate in the marketplace. You can 248 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: run off and write your Yelp review. You can cuss 249 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: out the owner or the poorer. I hate people that 250 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: do this, the poor server. You can tell the server 251 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: how much you hate the pricing at this place. You 252 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: can keep coming back to the same place you always 253 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 2: go to that you think the prices are too high, 254 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: and just bitch every time. But the only true means 255 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: we have communicating with a seller as a buyer is 256 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: to not buy at that price. When we don't buy 257 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: at that price, eventually their business goes down. So what 258 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: do they do? They dropped their prices right, This is 259 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: the reverse for This is the reverse inflationary effect. And 260 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: by the way, Milton Friedman talks about this all day 261 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: and night.

And then when Elvis obviously showed 288 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: up in the following spring, he was no longer a 289 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 6: country singer, and as my father in law tells a story, 290 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 6: he was not very popular amongst his peers there in 291 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 6: the core Cadets because they were expecting the country guy 292 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 6: and not the gyrating Elvis, and he caught quite a 293 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 6: lot of flak for that.

I guess I'm not 356 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 2: really your target demographic. But here's my question. The people 357 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: buying the retail tickets, they know who these people are. 358 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 2: But do the people up in the suites, like do 359 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: the rodeo directors know? I can't wait, we got Bailey 360 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 2: Zimmerman coming. You know what ends up happening. I will 361 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: tell you this is a long standing tradition for well, 362 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: this is an over twenty year tradition. The Rodeo directors 363 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: don't know who Bailey O Bailey Zimmerman is either, So 364 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: they call their granddaughter and they say, Cameron, you ever 365 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: heard of Bailey Zerman?

And they're up in the suite, and you've 382 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 2: got some young people there singing along to the songs 383 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: and say, oh, you're that cute because they're not singing 384 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: a long song because they don't know who Baley Zerman is. 385 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 2: Then you got regional Mexican Kadeen Leone. I never heard 386 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 2: of that one, and I actually know a little regional Mexican. 387 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 2: Then you got Brad Paisley. I'm gonna pass on that one, 388 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 2: but thank you. I don't know why Brad Paisley has 389 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 2: to be the face of country music today. I don't 390 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 2: watch any of the cmas amas, any of the country 391 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: music television shows, or anything else, but it's always Brad Paisley. 392 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: Then you've got Zach Topp. That's country. I guess that's 393 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: a guy. Lauren Dagel that's Christian. Then John Party that's country. 394 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: Then Journey. Okay, at least I know who Journey is. 395 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: Warren Zeeders or Zyd's that's country group, Roroteta Fronteta that's 396 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: regional Mexican. Charlie Crockett all right, I know who Charlie 397 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: Crockett is. I'm excited for him. It's a big show 398 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: for him. Post Malone, Okay, I know who that is, 399 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: Old Dominion, that's country. Cody Jings all right, I know 400 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: who Cody Jenks is. That's Charlie Crockett. So when people 401 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 2: try to introduce me to new music, I generally resist, 402 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: not just to be an ass, but it's rooted in that. 403 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: Mostly I just don't want to invest in any new 404 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: music because there's still a Johnny Paycheck's own or two 405 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 2: that I haven't heard, and I'd rather go back and 406 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: listen to deep cuts of Merle and Jerry Lee Lewis 407 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: and the like. But my buddy Cody Johnson, not the singer, 408 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: and not the president of garage doordoctor dot bisz. I 409 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: actually have three friends named Cody Johnson, and one of 410 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 2: them is a famous singer. And that always makes it 411 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 2: weird because I'm far more likely in conversation to go, oh, 412 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: you want to get that photo on your phone printed 413 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: on canvas so it can be hung up on the wall. 414 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 2: You want a photo of all your employees when they 415 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: come in and put it up on the wall. Oh, 416 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: I got a guy that can do that.

He does those. Separate company does that. 423 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: I think it's called sign Press, but anyway, so he's 424 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: Cody Johnson. And then the head of garage door doctor 425 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: dot biz our garage door, folks, is Cody Johnson. So 426 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 2: every time somebody says, hey, can you connect me with 427 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 2: the sign company or I need my garage door replaced 428 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: or repaired, I'll say, oh, I'll connect you with my buddy, 429 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 2: Cody Johnson. And they always say the singer. No, not 430 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: the singer. Cody doesn't. Cody Cody rodeos and sings. He 431 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: doesn't have any of these other skill sets that I 432 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 2: know of. But anyway, so my Cody Johnson canvaspress dot com. 433 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 2: Buddy tells me, you gotta hear this guy Charlie Crokett. 434 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 2: Got to hear this guy Charlie Crockett, and he keeps 435 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: trying to get me to listen to him. And it's 436 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: been going on for years, and I finally, one day 437 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: out of nowhere, decided I would give one song a listen. 438 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: And it was hard Luck and Circumstances and I love 439 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: it and now I've played it on loot but it's 440 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: the only one. And now he's getting his big shot. 441 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: He's playing at the rodeo. You ought to hear Corey 442 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: Morrow sometime tell the story his stepdad, who basically raised him, 443 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 2: Red was real big in the Rodeo and Corey got 444 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 2: to play the Rodeo and he was just on his 445 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 2: way up, but he had kind of hit it, you know, 446 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 2: Pat Green had hit it first, and then Corey was 447 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: having his moment and he wasn't quite big enough to 448 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: sell out the whole rodeo because it's a big stadium. 449 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 2: So they paired him with Larry the Cable Guy. And 450 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 2: I think the fear was whether Larry the Cable Guy 451 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: could sell out the whole thing because that was a 452 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 2: spoken word show, and you know, I don't think they 453 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: do to my knowledge, they don't do a lot of those, 454 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: so they paired him. It was a great night. Corey 455 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: got to play the rodeo and it's still a highlight 456 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: of his career. Anyway, I was going to give you 457 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: the end of the schedule. So you had Cody Jinks 458 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: on Thursday, March twentieth. Then you got Parker McCollum, and 459 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: I know that's a guy, but I don't know any 460 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: of his songs. That's another one of them, that's that's 461 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 2: the country thing. Then you got Brooks and Done see 462 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: the Parker McCollum crowd. On Friday, March twenty first, the Saturday, 463 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: March twenty second, Brooks and Done. That'll be their parents. 464 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 2: There will be I guarantee you there will be a 465 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 2: thousand families for which the kids will go see Parker 466 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: McCollum and their parents will go see Brooks and Done. 467 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 2: And that's good programming, right. It's like when you're when 468 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: you're when you're programming the strip center that you own. 469 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 2: You want some places that do business by day and 470 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 2: some places do business by night because you only have 471 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: so many parking spots. Well, you're trying to get as 472 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: many people. You know, you got your black audience over here, 473 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: and you got your your first generation Mexicans over here, 474 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: and then you got your young country music fans over 475 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 2: here or pop it's really pop. They call them country 476 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,959 Speaker 2: with their pop. And then you've got you still got 477 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: your old classic, you know, Brooks and Done, which is 478 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: now a lot older than it used to be. 479 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: Uh. 480 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: And then the final night is Luke Bran, which there 481 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: is nothing less country to me than Luke Bryan. I 482 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: despise Luke Brian. I despise Luke Brian even more than 483 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 2: I despise Brad Paisley. But hey, I hope the rodeo 484 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 2: succeeds because I like the Rodeo. I like the people 485 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 2: over there, I like the directors, I like the culture. 486 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 2: I like that people raise a pig and sell it. 487 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: I love everything about the Rodeo. So I'm not trashing 488 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: the Rodeo. I'm simply saying that I've grown older and 489 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: I don't follow new music, and increasingly the new music 490 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 2: is stuff I don't know, and the people I listened 491 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: to from years ago are getting few or few nights. 492 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: And that's probably hell. There was probably some old codure 493 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy four that said, Elvis, how come they 494 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: putting Elvis out there? He's washed up? I thought he 495 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: lived out in Las Vegas. How come they gonna bring 496 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: Elvis in there? I don't know what he's gonna do, 497 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: same old song. Hell, he's been around since the fifties. 498 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: I don't know what.
