You got really excited and 66 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: then and then he kind of petered out. Yeah, it's 67 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: funny how that happens. I really would like to know 68 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: the five top reasons without googling the five top reasons, 69 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: because there's somebody out there right now. There's some dude. 70 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: He's probably white. He's probably sixty seven years old. He 71 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: wears glasses with the by focus at the bottom that 72 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: weigh four pounds, so they dig into his nose. And 73 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: he bought him in nineteen eighty seven, and you know, 74 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: they work just fine. You don't buy any more. He's 75 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: probably got a pocket protector. He tucks his shirt in, 76 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: always has, always will. He mows his lawn wearing shorts 77 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: and socks up to his knees and dress shoes, old 78 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: dress shoes because they worked just fine. On pay for 79 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: some special shoes to be around the house. He's got 80 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: a Folger's can, or maybe Maxwell House or could be 81 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: could be. One time he splurged and took Mama to 82 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans and they bought a Cafe Dumont, and he 83 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: came back and realized that chickor he ain't all it 84 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: was made up to be, because you're not in New 85 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: Orleans and you're not eating a beignet. And so he 86 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: poured it out and kept the can. And he's got 87 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: various and sundry nuts and bolts and screws and things 88 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: that he's not sure where they came from or what happened. 89 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: He's got them in that over there, and he's got 90 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: stuff hung on the walls maximizing the space in the garage. 91 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: He has an old fashioned peewee Herman bicycle that hangs 92 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: from the ceiling. Everything is maximized. He is the millionaire 93 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: next door. He is absolutely the millionaire next door. He's 94 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: the guy that you don't know what he's got in 95 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: his in his retirement account. You would never expect what 96 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: he has because he is so cheap. He is so 97 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: very cheap. He's probably that's a good question. He's probably Lutheran, 98 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: most likely Lutheran. Why would you ask his religion. But 99 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: he knows the answer to that, and he knows the 100 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: answer to a lot of things like that. And the 101 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: problem is a guy like that, even though he uses 102 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: the Internet, he really is kind of bummed out over 103 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: the Internet because there used to be a value to 104 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: having read all the manuals to everything. He's read the 105 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: manual for everything. He knows a CB radio, he's a 106 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: Ham radio operator. He knows the ins and outs of everything. 107 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: He's read things, he knows things, he remembered things, he 108 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: goes back and rereads things. This guy does not read fiction, 109 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: I'll just tell you that. And he doesn't watch movies, 110 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,559 Speaker 1: none of that nonsense. He might he might watch one 111 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: Fox show per day, and he might indulge in maybe 112 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: a Tucker Carlson or an Alex Jones one episode, but 113 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: one and one only. This guy, this guy right here, 114 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: he uh, he repairs things. He knows. He's a no. 115 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,599 Speaker 1: There is that guy out there right now, as tricky is. 116 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: If we can get him to call seven one three 117 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: one velves seven three one dolls.

It goes into 121 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: beakers with food coloring, so they bubble up in the 122 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: back light. 123 00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: Damn it. All right, This is Mark Chestnut Jar Bizaar 124 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: of Talk Radio. 125 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: I said, back with my friend. So one of my 126 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: favorite emailers is a fellow named Bobby Crumpley. And Bobby 127 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: has some business. I still don't understand it, but he 128 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: does something. He works out of it. He has a garage. Uh. 129 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: He used to live down south somewhere, uh clear, Lake 130 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: League City, Santa Fe, Texas City, somewhere in that area, 131 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: and he sold up. He sold, he rolled up everything, 132 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: and he and his wife moved to I think Anderson 133 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: or in Avinesota somewhere up there, and he couldn't be happier. 134 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: I've never met him, but I mean we email back 135 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: and forth and he always has good show prep for me, 136 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: always has interesting things to help the show. And anyway, 137 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: he's got this business that they blast car parts. I 138 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: guess they're taking the rust off and any paint off 139 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: to get it back to its position to restore. Best 140 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: I can tell. He's tried to explain it a few times, 141 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: but it's always well, I'm in the middle of doing 142 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: something else. But anyway, so he said, funny coincidence, You're 143 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: talking about dry ice while I'm talking to my buddy Jim, 144 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: who has an automotive dry ice blasting business, and he 145 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: sends me a link which is always helpful, to dry 146 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: ice restore tech dot com. Ramon they're using dry ice. 147 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: I did get a number of emails that said that 148 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: some of the grocery store distributors and things they use 149 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: dry ice. I know this in cleaning, like it's sand blasting. 150 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: I had no idea. Well, so I go to the 151 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: website dry ice restore tech dot com and it says 152 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: taking automatic taking automotive restoration to the next level. Preserve 153 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: your vehicles with dry ice restoration technology. So I go 154 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: to the about page and it's him standing in front 155 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: of a bunch of tanks, which is I guess how 156 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: they get the dry ice. And I look at the 157 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: dude and I don't know how old he is, maybe 158 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: sixty one of those guys that could be seventy three, 159 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: And you go, you look sixty. You know, you can 160 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: tell he's taken care of himself. He's hit the weights 161 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. He's got a little bit of a 162 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: tat poking out from under his short sleeve, which is surprising. 163 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: But there may be a story, right he could have 164 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: lost a child or best friend, and you know, there 165 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: could be a story. I don't think he's the type 166 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: to just get a tat. It might be his ex 167 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: wife's name. I don't know, but that's not the point. 168 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: He's got short crop black hair on the top, like 169 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: he might have a military background. My guess is he 170 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: does kind of early George Jones. You remember the possum, 171 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: more of that, and it's not a flat top, it's 172 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: more a crew cup, but it's kind of dark on top. 173 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: He might die that, but maybe not because then it's 174 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: great on the side. But I tell you all that 175 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: to you this very intense look. Guessing he's a military veteran. 176 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: Is he's got a handlebar mustache, but the handlebar, one 177 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: of the handlebars has kind of broke off, so he's 178 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: got a handlebar mustache where part of the so on 179 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: his left side, which is your right in the photo, 180 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: he's got the full mustache coming down to the chin, 181 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: but on his right side it's it's kind of patchy, 182 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking at that point. Let's go ahead and 183 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: get that thing out of there. Right, Let's let's give 184 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: the whole thing a chance. But here's what it says. 185 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 1: Meet Jim Galushka Galushka g A l U s z Ka. 186 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: There's polls just hiding everywhere.

This is 192 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: a dude that can fix some stuff, right. This is 193 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: a guy probably didn't go to college, could fix anything 194 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: in your house. Hey, Jim, the plumbing's out. Could you 195 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: sweat some pipe and get this going? Yeah? If I 196 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: figure it out. This guy could figure anything.

Jim then had the opportunity to 202 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: train and learn the art of dry ice cleaning and restoration. 203 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: What makes this the best is he wrote this himself. 204 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: I love that Jim takes the time and has an 205 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: eye for detail, which is imperative in this type of work. 206 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: It is his goal to return your vehicle to you 207 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: in better condition than when it arrived at my shop. Wait, 208 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: is someone else rate write this? Jim prides himself on 209 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: treating every vehicle like it were his own. Jim Galushka 210 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: brings that knowledge with him to dry ice restoration technology. 211 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: He began in his dry ice cleaning business in twenty 212 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: twenty and opened his own shop in twenty twenty one. 213 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: Jim is meticulous in his handling and workmanship on every 214 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: project he undertakes. Your vehicle or project is in the 215 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: best hands possible. And then it goes through all lesson 216 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: environmental hazards and tattetutu, and then there's all the other reasons, 217 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: and then there's a bunch of cars that he is 218 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: presumably restored, and it looks like he just rented a 219 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: little shop space somewhere and set up shop and going 220 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: to town. I love that this still happens. I love 221 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: that I love the fact that there are people who 222 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: may or may not have ever gone to college. Most 223 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: of them probably served in the military. A lot of 224 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: them got training there, but for whatever reason, from the 225 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: time they were little, they were helping their dad. Not 226 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: just change the oil and change the tires and rotate 227 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff, but I mean they 228 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: were tearing engines apart, hanging it on a tree, you know, 229 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: all the stuff Skip Partley's people do. They were doing 230 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: that as a kid with their dad and learning it 231 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: and they didn't even think anything of it. You know. 232 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: It's sort of like you also learned to drive and 233 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: shoot a gun. They learned to tear engines apartment, repair 234 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: them and put them back together, figure problems out. And 235 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: they use words like manifold, intake, you know, these these 236 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: types of things, and they're just all over. And if 237 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be creepy and I wouldn't get shot or 238 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: walk up on a cartel drug dealing going down. When 239 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: I see a run down industrial park that I'm driving by, 240 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: I am tempted to just pull off and drive in there. 241 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: And I kind of wish they knew who I was, 242 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: so they'd know, oh, he's the kind of dude that 243 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: would do this kind of thing where I could just 244 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: get out.

Craig is here 334 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: to tell you not so fast, Lee Corso style, because 335 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: they don't have it. The Aggie Plumber Michael Robinson writes 336 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: the three top uses for dry ice realistically Number one 337 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: school science projects. Number two send food somewhere. Number three 338 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: fancy drink recipes for parties. Well, Michael turned twelve years old. 339 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: We had a birthday party for him at the RCC 340 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: for him and all of his classmates, probably one hundred kids. 341 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: And Uncle Jerry made a special drink for the occasion, 342 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: which was a dry ice Shirley Temple and it was 343 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: the coolest thing. I mean, you know, it's you don't 344 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: want to you sound like a goober's saying it, but 345 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: it's true. You feel good when you can do something 346 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: that makes your kid proud amongst their peers and the 347 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: kids coming up there and getting to order you know, 348 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: coke sprite or that drink, and I forget what we 349 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: called it, but that's a yeah, that's that's something else 350 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: right there. Let's see the pickleman is getting suspicious. Male 351 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: at home, Meg with dry eyes, evy dog on dry ice, 352 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: Common sense, Bob, Let's do common sense, Bob, Bob, you're up. 353 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 3: Hey, it's a common Sense Bob Morning Show. And our 354 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 3: next collar is from Houston. It's Michael Berry. Michael Berry, 355 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: how are you doing? Thanks for calling the Common Sense 356 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 3: Bob Show. 357 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm confused. 358 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 3: You know something else about dry ice? 359 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: Yes? 360 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 3: You binge watching enough episodes of Law and Order, you'll 361 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 3: find out that dry ice can kill people? Really, Yes, sir, 362 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: you have some dry ice, some dry ice in a 363 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: room and they lock them in a room or some 364 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 3: you know, like a closet or something, and it sucks 365 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: out the oxygen and a person dies of asphixiation. 366 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: How about that? Okay, So, hells the chemical reaction that 367 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: is occurring that dry ice is sucking out the oxygen. 368 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't. I would like to understand that. 369 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 3: I I that that's above my pay grades, sir. That 370 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: just uh. I think the the composition of the dry ice, 371 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: whatever the chemical compound is, reacts to the oxygen and 372 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 3: takes out one of the o's or something. I have 373 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: to look I have to look that up for you. 374 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: I would be interested to know how that works. Uh. 375 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: Apparently Spex Downtown technically midtown, but Spex Downtown has dry ice. 376 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: And I seem to recall that. If you go to 377 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: Spex Downtown, ask to see Ryan, who is the store 378 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: manager there. While you're there. He's a great, great guy. 379 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Believe he's a marine. I believe he's a marine. He's 380 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: about fifty years old. He wears glasses. Used to be 381 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of a chubby fellow, but he lost a bunch 382 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: of weight. He's an old car enthusiast, and he is 383 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: a cigar and bourbon enthusiast. So if any of those 384 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: are something you like, go to the back area which 385 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: is called which is the will call area, and ask 386 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: if Ryan is there and shake his hand. You will love, 387 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: absolutely love Ryan. Ryan is the store manager there. Now, 388 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: don't ask to meet Steve Moore because he'll get mad 389 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: at me because he is the president of the whole 390 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: operation and he's upstairs. And if he has to come 391 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: down because people are asking for a minute's because of me, 392 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to get in trouble. But that is between 393 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: the two. Those two, those are those are my experts 394 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: on all things drinks and the like. And so I'm 395 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: going to ask them what the dry ice process because 396 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: Steve Moore respects, will will absolutely know. And if he 397 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: doesn't know, he'll have somebody. And if they're carrying dry ice, 398 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: which would make sense. You know you can buy fat 399 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: ice from Specs downtown. Oh yeah, it keeps. You have 400 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: a party you want you want that block of ice 401 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: like you get it a real high end bar. Yeah, 402 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: you can buy. 403 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: That bar as I call it the Michael Barry Joe. 404 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how much I love this song? 405 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: What a great choice? You say Tavares or Tavares? Do 406 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: you say Tavares, Well, it's it's their dad's last name. 407 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: It's their last name, so it should be tell Otis. 408 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: This was before they had amber alerts. You'd have to 409 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: write a song. I think this is the only original 410 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: they had that ever did anything, But every cover they 411 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: did is just fantastic. In fact, they did Hall of 412 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 1: Notes as She's Gone, and it's better than the Hall 413 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: of Notes. Verson play it. But that song has such 414 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: a good vibe to it. It's it's it's such a 415 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: it's such an era, I mean, and it's obviously it's 416 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: the disco era, but we get have you heard this before, polish? 417 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: It's better than a riginal all right, fellas, that's too 418 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: long when it. 419 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 4: Tell me about this time constantly show everybody's trying to 420 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: tell me what is right for me. I need a 421 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 4: drink at a quick dicision. 422 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 2: Now it's up to. 423 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 3: She is God. 424 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: Rewind that you hear you hear that old dude with 425 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: inphasm oh, I mean that there's some soul to that. 426 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: Listen to. 427 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 4: Decision. 428 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 2: Now it's to she is Gone. 429 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: There's some grit in that. Boy said, I love that. 430 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: I just looked it up because I knew I had 431 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: I knew they had great names. Their real names were 432 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: Ralph Edward Viea Tavares, Arthur Paul Tavares, Antone Lee Tavares, 433 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: Feliciano Vieira Tavares, and Perry Lee Tavares, but they went 434 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: by Ralph Poucci, Chubby, Butch, and Tiny. You gotta love 435 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: guys that go by names like that, especially that one 436 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: of them's named Pooch. I love that. Kristen Wrights, you 437 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: asked for stories online about what brought people to Houston. 438 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: I did, and I'm aggravated because hardly anybody responded. I 439 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: was looking for us from good stories. What happened is 440 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: I had an old friend of mine named John Gannon. 441 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: He's been a mentor of mine, a friend of mine 442 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: for many years. He's supported my political campaigns. He's everything 443 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: I've ever asked for. He's always been there for me, 444 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: including an especially advice. If you drive around and you 445 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: see the billboards that are yellow and blue, they're mostly 446 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: yellow with a little blue on them, and they say JG. 447 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: It says for lease JG. I Outdoors. Now that I 448 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: mention it, you'll notice there's a lot of them he's got. 449 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: He only has fourteen hundred billboards. He's probably the largest 450 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: independent bill owner, certainly in the state, maybe in the country. 451 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: Because that's a lot of they call them faces, because 452 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: some of them is one board. He calls them sticks. 453 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: So it'll be one set of sticks, but there's four faces, 454 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: so one on top, one on bottom, and then flip 455 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: it around, one on top one, so there might be 456 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: four on that thing. He's got five hundred and fifty 457 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: or so of those. But anyway, I thought he was 458 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: a lifelong Texan, and he's very much a Texan. You know, 459 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: he's got his he's got his hair comb, it's got 460 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: a silver white. It's a good looking guy. He's always 461 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: very sun tank. He's always outside, he's got his hair 462 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: combed straight back, and if you're very rugged, he wears 463 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: boots and jeans and his shirts chucked in, and you know, 464 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: he's your classic seventies oil man, except he's not an 465 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: oil man. And you know, like Mac, he's got a 466 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: perfect set of white teeth, and he smiles a lot, 467 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: and he's always always tanned. So he's straight out of 468 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: the movies. I'm trying to think who he would look like. 469 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: There's a there was a takeover executive that had this look, 470 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: and he would wear black suits with the big collars. Anyway, 471 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: So anyway, so I'm talking to God John Gannon and 472 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: I said, where'd you grow up? And I thought he 473 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: was a lifelong Texan. I thought that all these years. 474 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: He's got a ranch out in if you know where 475 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: Lost Palmetto's State Park is, if you know where the 476 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: BUCkies is in Louli, directly behind there. He's got like 477 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: four thousand acres. He's got an insane number of acres. 478 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: And then he spends a lot of his time down 479 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: in Miguel Miguel Sen sen Allende. Have you been down there? 480 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: So I asked him to bring me some pictures of 481 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: his place, Theres Palace. He owns a hotel there. He 482 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: absolutely loves it. But all that by which to say 483 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: he has succeeded financially, I said, did you ever expect 484 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: to do as well financially as you have? He said, 485 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: not a chance. I never would have believed where I 486 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: would end up. This is a great country. So he 487 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: grows up in Ohio and he doesn't go to school. 488 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: He's done go to college. He starts working and he 489 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: just kind of bounces around just working. And his buddy 490 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: has come to Texas, to Houston. This is nineteen seventy one, 491 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: and he said, man, come down here. You can get 492 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: hired on anywhere anytime. There are jobs of plenty, and 493 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: of course, the rust belt was dying and Texas was thriving, 494 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: and there's so many guys like that. So he came 495 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: down here, he starts doing this, he starts doing that. 496 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: Before long back then, you could just lease a piece 497 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: of property, put two poles in the ground, and you know, 498 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: put a plywood sign up there and rent it out. 499 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: And that's how he got started. And he's I mean, 500 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: he's done phenomenally, phenomenally well. But he was just talking 501 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: about the Texas he came to and that you know, 502 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't want doesn't want that to change. And it 503 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: really it kind of like it's Chariot's a fire plan 504 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: in my in my mind as he's telling his stories, like, 505 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: we have to be mindful of that. That's the city 506 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: and state the city I came to, which is Houston, 507 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: obviously from Orange. That's a state I've lived in. I 508 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: want our state to stay that way. And that requires 509 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: that requires not just governmental action, It requires a culture 510 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: of that. It requires that we raise kids who want 511 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: to grow up into that. It requires it if we 512 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: own a business, every one of you that owns a business, 513 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: adopt one kid. I don't mean into your house, I 514 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: mean hire one person and mentor them. Every single one 515 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: of you can do that, every single one of you 516 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: could raise the next John Gann and Michael Berry and 517 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: God forbid. Ramon Rogins, Ramon, how hard is it to 518 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: seduce a large woman piece of cake
