41
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: sponsorship that Eddie Martini will give you ten thousand dollars

42
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: worth of an AD campaign. So it's a pretty good deal.

43
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: He does this because he's passionate about Saint Jude. And

44
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: what was it? Was it Danny Ka who was the

45
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: dude whose career was on the blink and he prayed

46
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: to God to give him one more chance, to give

47
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: his career a chance to succeed. And I guess he

48
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: went to his priest and his priest said, I want

49
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: you to pray to God for success and if you

50
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: if you hit it, then I want you to commit yourself.

51
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think it was to blessing Saint Jude. And

52
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: so he isn't it Danny Kay? Can you look it up? No,

53
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: it's the it's the Syrian. He's a Syrian American Catholic.

54
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: And no, no, that's Dave. That's Dave. Shoot Dave Thomas.

55
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Now look up Danny k Ka. Ye I don't think

56
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: that's his real name. So he is Syrian American Catholic.

57
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: There is there, There are Catholic. There are Americans who

58
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: are Catholic who are from Syria, I believe not or Lebanon,

59
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: but I think it's Syria. And he was part of

60
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: that community and he got them involved and he ended

61
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: up basically launching Saint Jude, which is one of the

62
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: most amazing stories in all of of healing history. It

63
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: really is incredible. It's it's up there with with Sinai

64
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: or Mayo Clinic. I mean, it's amazing what they do.

65
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: Four hundred thousand children will get cancer. Character Danny Thomas,

66
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: that's it. Fourteen thousand children and teens in the US

67
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: alone are diagnosed with cancer. Pediatric cancer is a leading

68
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: cause of death by disease among children ages one through fourteen.

69
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Four hundred thousand children will get cancer every year. Saint

70
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Jude has helped to develop more than eighty percent of

71
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: US childhood cancer patients now become long term survivors. There

72
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: are things that used to kill kids that now are

73
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: routine treatment because of Saint Jude. Anyway, it's five thousand

74
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: a team. If you do a donation of ten thousand.

75
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Eddie says that you will get the iHeart equivalent airtime schedule,

76
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: or he'll come cut your grass. Probably be more fun

77
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: to come cut your grass, to be told, Although I

78
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: suspect he has no clue how to cut grass, he

79
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: probably hire somebody to do it.

80
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: Michael, Michael, this is Michael from the Texas Panhandle. How

81
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: much can tell you about a sandwich in Louisiana from

82
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: Maybills in Laplace, Louisiana.

83
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Called the thirty f e er d I e.

84
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: Yep, the thirdy sandwich. It's hot roast beef.

85
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: It'll be wet with brown gravy, hot ham and Swiss cheese,

86
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: and it is good.

87
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Do you put mayonnaise on it?

88
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 4: It is with just the gravy and there is no

89
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: pickles or maynaes.

90
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: Fair enough so Joe Tortorici Junior. They don't like how

91
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: I pronounce their name, but that's how I think it

92
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I'll be pronounced, was the founder of Jason's Deli in Beaumont.

93
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: And I asked, uh, I asked Jake Torderci, who's a

94
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: show sponsor of ours and a friend my dad used

95
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: to have. He used to go in and have coffee

96
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: with Jake at Rayo's Bakery. If you know the Rayos

97
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Bakeries in Beaumont, they're legendary and they're fantastics. Have a

98
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: location in Houston too, but uh uh. Joe Tortorici Junior

99
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: started Jason's Deli and they ended up let's see, I

100
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: looked it up earlier.

101
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: They have.

102
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 1: They have almost three hundred locations. They they were named

103
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: the number one fast casual restaurant in the country for

104
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: under three hundred locations. They eliminated high fruit toast, corn

105
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: syrup from their food in eight that's ahead of the curve.

106
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: They eliminated added trans fats from their menu. They eliminated

107
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: all msg from their food. They were one of the

108
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: early folks to make gluten free products for people with Celiac.

109
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: They give away the free ice cream like gringoes to

110
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: their customers. They do the salad bar, the soup. It's

111
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: a great concept, the pastas, it's an absolutely fantastic concept.

112
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: They're in twenty seven states, two hundred and thirty nine

113
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: delis from Little O Beaumont. How about that started in

114
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six. Joe Torderici Junior, Rusty Coco Pete Verde

115
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: and Pat Brussar. You gotta have Brussard in there, because

116
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: that's a cood. As it came west and they just stopped.

117
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: They get right over the border and it's like a horse,

118
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't know whoop they stopped right there. Baked potatoes, pasta, soups, salad,

119
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: and desserts, as well as box lunches. We used to

120
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: do the legal work for Jason's Deli at the firm

121
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: I started at, and they would send over boxed lunches

122
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: all the time. I love a good box lunch because

123
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: I like things in their compartment. You know, you get

124
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: you look in there, Well, what all kind of goodies

125
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:18,200

129
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: to four times a week. If you go into any

130
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Jason's Deli, you'll see a statue or a candle of

131
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: Saint Joseph's somewhere in the store. Danny Thomas was who

132
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: I was trying to think of, his daughter Marlowe. That's

133
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: the one I was trying to remember. Jimmy Pappas is

134
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: very angry because he does real estate, and he does

135
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: tenant rep stuff. And he puts all the firehouse subs in,

136
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: and he puts all the Jersey mics in. And uh,

137
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: he says, I know more about sandwiches and stores than anyone,

138
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, trust me on that. I think he's getting aggravated.

139
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: He also got aggravated that when I said, when you

140
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: order your sandwich Mike's Way, and I listed all the

141
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: things that I remembered going in there. He said, also Oregano, Aregano.

142
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I started them twenty five years ago. Great chain. Uh,

143
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: you know who worked at Shilatsky's.

144
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: I love the way.

145
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: She said that.

146
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

147
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: The person who worked at Shilatski's, as our friend said,

148
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: is Grant Patterson. Yeah, listen to this, he says. Oh.

149
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: I said I don't like uncooked onions. He said that's fair.

150
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I said, I don't like lettuce and tomato there filler

151
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: and tomato ruins a flavor. He said, I hate tomatoes.

152
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I said, what was He because he worked there in

153
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: college at Texas Tech and love them. He said, it's

00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: So I'll be flying for this oil company over here,

224
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: just to build some hours before I go to the airlines.

225
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: Which will Keystone. Okay, what do they have? What are

226

Speaker 3: prop planes right.

229
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,240

Speaker 1: Which prop plane?

231
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: So it'll be the Piper seminoles and the Sessonal one

232
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: seventy twos or warriors because over there in the Navy

233
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 3: two right now, military guys are getting out and they

234
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: don't have enough hours to go to the airlines for

235
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: how little they did fly.

236
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: If you did have the hours right now with the

237
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: airline and hire.

238
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 3: You if I yo, yeah, if I did have the hours.

239
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: How many hours you need for military right now?

240
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: They only need seven fifty.

241
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: You mean, if you've been in the military, you need

242
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: seven fifty hours in the military. Right How many hours

243
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: would you need normally fifteen hundred? Oh so they cut

244
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: it now? Is that because they considered the military training

245
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: to be superior?

246
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, was it?

247
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? The way we fly?

248
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: But man, last year, a lot of my friends it's like, man,

249
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: we only flew ten hours last year.

250
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah. If you're trying to rack up some hours,

251
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: where would you most like to go to work?

252
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: I can pick right now, either fly international or domestic.

253
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: And everybody's telling me, like, man, that's up to you.

254
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: Like and my dad's friend flew for UPS. He's like, Man,

255
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: the first thing he told me was we're all divorced.

256
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't. I think that's partly because pilots

257
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: have a tendency to be.

258
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: Well. You know.

259
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: I have a friend who is a pilot for fed

260
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: X had to move. He's from Baton Rouge. He'd come

261
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: to Houston. He was flying for Western Airways and then

262
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: George Dodge's operation and now he uh then he went

263
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: back to Baton Rouge. To fly for FedEx, and now

264
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: they moved him to Memphis. And I said, oh, my god,

265
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: how do you like living in Memphis? And he said, actually,

266
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: if you get out of the city and you get

267
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: out in the sububs, it's it's quite nice. And it's Tennessee,

268
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: and you know, Tennessee is a wonderful place to call home.

269
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: And I think he's making a killing. But he's flying

270
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: those massive, the biggest jets that fed X has. I

271
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know if you've ever seen those. Uh did you

272
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: see that? Did you see that ups plane that crashed

273
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: the other day? Yeah, that's the hell of a deal,

274
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: isn't it.

275
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

276
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, they used all the they kind of

277
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: fly the classics of the planes in the in the

278
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: cargo industry.

279
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah it uh. And it was loaded with fuel because

280
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: it's taken off. That thing was I can't remember how

281
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: many gallons were on that thing. That's why the explosion

282
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: was so. I had a friend who flew a private

283
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: plane over that and he said it looked like football

284
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: field's worth of burn. Chris vha Loan you know me said,

285

343
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: How hard is that on your body?

344
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: I'm not too bad if you work out regular and

345
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: try not to eat too much.

346
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Another time, it's called another time. JJ.

347
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, I've been there.

348
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: I would assume be an alignment would tear your body

349
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: up pretty good.

350
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 4: Not too bad. I mean you got to work out

351
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: to keep your body toned up. Otherwise you hurt like

352
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: hell and you may take the biggest, biggest toll.

353
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, my trainer says Michael Petru says that

354
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: you can mitigate a lot of damage to the knees

355
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: if you strengthen, if you strengthen the muscles around it,

356
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: and I have read that to be the case. My

357
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: wife is a big believer in that that one of

358
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: the reasons we have so many knee problems is that

359
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: people don't strengthen. That there is there are things you

360
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: can do in the gym to prevent a lot of

361
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: what you'd otherwise think are the weakening of the joint.

362
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: But actually if the support muscles around it are are strong,

363
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: then you redo and studies have shown that. I follow

364
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: a guy named Peter Attiya, and he has talked about that,

365
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: And it turns out that's that's true of a lot

366
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: of things, the back, the knees, the hips that if

367
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: you strengthen the muscles around them to support them, you

368
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: reduce a lot of it. And it makes sense, you know,

369
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: once you hear that, it makes sense.

370
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it works to my My knees have improved greatly,

371
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: h since I've gotten out of the hooks and UH

372

Speaker 4: done more uh weightlifting.

373
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,920

00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,840

Speaker 4: I do still get to pass on tools of the trade,

378
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: you know, knowledge and UH say all the new kids

379
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 4: are doing it with all the new batter retire tools.

380
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: Interesting how much the alignment make?

381
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,240

438
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: you'll double what we got. I thought we were you know,

439
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: we had influence from something that's not real good.

440
00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 4: Right there.

441
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Here's the people who have bought sponsorships and teams that

442
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: are show sponsors right now coording to Robert Reese, Corey Diamonds, Oops,

443
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: Steam Cleaning, Houston, Powder Coders, Public Grand Ranch, Elite Medical Hospitals,

444
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: and the title sponsor is Gringo's tex Mex. Yes, Dan

445
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: Agan is a sponsor. He always supports everything we do.

446
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: He's just fantastic. He's wonderful in every way. So I

447
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: called Jason o Yay my kunas connection show sponsor Laboucherie

448
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: and asked him because several of you have asked about

449
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: fried turkeys where you can get a fried turkey? And

450
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: I checked to see if they were doing fried turkeys,

451
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: and he said they are not doing fried turkeys anymore,

452
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: and he said, look, it's an art. Even in Louisiana,

453
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: very few people do it. You buy them from other people.

454
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: There are people who are doing but it's not easy.

455
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: So the problem is chilling them, storing them, transporting them.

456
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: And he said, it just didn't make sense for us

457
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: to do it. They do do a lot of things

458
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving stuff. They do Turduccan's. They do all the side

459
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: dishes that your chickens, your turkeys, all that sort of stuff,

460
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: but the cooking process is not there. It's not their thing,

461
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: which is good, he said. But if you need a

462
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: fried turkey, Raging Cajun does a good fried turkey and

463
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: he has He has ordered from them before, just for

464
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: his personal use. I have a friend named Don Blake.

465
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: I called him and he called me back, but we

466
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: missed each other. Blake used to have a place called

467
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: Blake's Barbecue on Janetta and I went to that place

468
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: probably three hundred times over the years, and I never

469
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: ate the barbecue. It was the best, in my opinion,

470
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: it was the best burger in town. It was a

471
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: burger and home fries, and I would double order the

472
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: fries and I'd have three beers and I would just

473
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: pay for it and they'd keep an eye. It was

474
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: counter service, and they would keep an eye and just

475
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: bring a beer whenever it was done. And that was

476
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: that was an experience. I'd go in there, buy myself,

477
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: go sit in a corner. At some point, Blake down

478
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: Blake's his name, but he goes by. Blake would come

479
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: in and he'd come over and sit down and he

480
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: would talk about what they were, what, you know, how

481
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: his business was going, house catering was going. And he

482
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: just slowly but surely, this is just an old black

483
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: guy that came to Houston from Brownwood, Texas and just

484
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: worked his butt off day in and day out. He

485
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: drove a raggedy old astro van, remember the Chevy astro van.

486
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: He drove a raggedy old Chevy astro van, and he

487
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: catered the gigs himself so the restaurant could keep operating.

488
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: He would run out in cater and he would drive

489
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: all over. Sometimes he'd text me at five o'clock in

490
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: the morning he was on his way to cater breakfast

491
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: at some place. He had to be there at six.

492
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes it would be at night. It would be on

493
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: the weekends. He just worked and worked and work, and

494
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: he bought the property around him, each little lot, one

495
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: by one by one, until he cobbled it together. And

496
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: this is in the area they call Piney Point. Now

497
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: this is not the fancy rich people Pinty Point. This

498
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: is the old black Piney Point. Used to be a

499
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: jitney service, an old busterer us. Piney Point was like

500
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: Acres Homes or Acres Holmes as they say out there,

501
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: the faux Foe. It had a bus service out there.

502
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: So if you're heading west tim or west, you cross

503
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: you get about to the Fondrin area. Right the cross

504
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: street is Janetta, make a left right there. There is

505
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: a fire station there that if you know anything about

506
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: the villages on the west side of Houston, you would

507
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: say it's inexplicable that they have called this the Piney

508
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: Point fire station. It's not in Piney Point, but it

509
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: is in Piney Point. It's in the original Poney Point,

510
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: which was a black community. Before the well to do

511
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: white Piney Point, there was a poor black Piney Point. Well,

512
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: when Blake's started Blake's Barbecue, he bought this little tiny

513
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: tract of land and then he cobbled together these pieces

514
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: well slowly, but surely that neighborhood has improved and improved

515
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: and improved over the thirty five years or so. And

516
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: he ended upponing two acres in the middle of town

517
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: in a commercial district, and they came in and said,

518
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: here's your check, wrote him his check and he rode

519
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: off into the sunset. But he's still because everybody I've

520
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: ever introduced him to has kept friends with him, because

521
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy you just want to know.

522
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: He's just he's just a breath of fresh air. He's

523
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: always happy, and he'll just call you up. He's making cakes.

524
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: He'll make ten cakes and then he'll just start texting

525
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: how you want a cake? I mean, bring you by

526
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: a cake. He you think Crockett would like this cake?

527
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: And he does that for a lot of people I know,

528
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: just that kind of guy. Amazing guy. So anyway, Armon,

529
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: we got exactly See, this is why I don't do

530
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: this damn golf tournament because it's a great cause. And

531
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: then I put my pride on the line, and then

532
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: we don't kill it the first time, and then I

533
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: get aggravated. But it is for a good cost. So

534
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe somebody will step up and if you do ten thousand,

535
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: If you do a donation of ten thousand, you get

536
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars AD campaign. Anything else you can

537
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: throw and nevermore, anything else we should do, you know,

538
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: just kind of sweeten the pot. No, you'll give them

539
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: a calm thank them. Oh, I'm sure there's somebody out

540
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: there right now just that. Well. I wasn't ready. I

541
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to write to check. But now now I'm ready.

542
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: That's that's the one that put That's the one that

543
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: put me over the edge.

544
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: You know.

545
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: I had a lot of stuff to get to today

546
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: that I didn't really get to, but I got interested

547
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: in sandwiches and that kind of that kind of took

548
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: me off. Oh, we have a new John Wayne mccornyn.

549
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'll stay focused Tomorrow. I'll do better

550
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: because we have so many good things to get to.

551
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: John Wayne mccornyn has released his endorsements of Republican elected

552
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: officials in DFW, and guess what a lot of them

553
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: were Nicky Haley supporters. In twenty twenty four, Hey Cornyn,

554
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: why don't you tell us again how you love Donald Trump?

555
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: While last year you said that he shouldn't run and

556
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: the country had moved on from him, and you supported

557
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: Nicki Haley. Yeah, whyon't you tell us that again? But

558
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: I agree with him ninety nine percent of the time.

559
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: So when somebody smashes into your car and totals it,

560
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: and you go, what kind of bad driver are you? Well,

561
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: for ninety nine days, I didn't total anybody's car. Oh okay,

562
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: Oh that crazy lady's walking. Look look out the wind.

563
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: He's got crazy lady walks in.

564
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: I never good
