1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: The Michael Varry Show is on the air. In fact,

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: drunken stupid is no way to go to a life.

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 3: So I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: off my feet and I'm gonna see the world.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: All my dreams.

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: Hell O, the frig gass water type that is a

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: little higher. Yes, we believe it is no bad. I'm

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: going to steady that French kiss. So everybody does that? Yeah,

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: but Daddy says I'm the best. Daddus A careful man's

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: a faverge here, everybody down ground, We got a what

12
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: are the telescope, sir?

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 4: What the wise wise.

14
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: World of sports are going on?

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: Ghip busy?

16
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Words matter, and I have long been moved by the

17
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: power of words to express ideas and emotions, to call

18
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: us to be something bigger than we are. I've studied

19
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: speeches since I was very young. Sermons, letters, I find them,

20
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: radio broadcasts. I find them moving and powerful. So much

21
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: more than just the words themselves, but how they can

22
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: capture an emotion and inspire or comfort or motivate. And

23
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: so yesterday I got an email from a listener in

24
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: Ohio talking about our vote in Texas. And this is

25
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: what he said. Czar. As a resident of Ohio, you

26
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: would think I would get bored hearing you definitely articulate

27
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: the complexities of the ongoing Texas Senate primary situation, But

28
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: I do not. I listen every word, and I just

29
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: get madder because you see that one man, John Wayne

30
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: mccornyn has an outsized influence on me and my family's

31
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: daily life, not because of his oversized belt buckle, but

32
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: because he's one of fifty US Senators who, with the

33
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: present tiny Republican majority, can single handedly thwart much needed

34
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: legislation such as the Save Act. And that's not just

35
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: a Texas thing. That's in all of these precious Unite

36
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: States thing. That lining caps the notion that the DC

37
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: swamp thoon I'm looking at you, is pivoting to strong

38
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: arm tactics about the Texas primary. Sounds more like they

39
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: think they're in a hostage negotiation and the people of

40
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: the Great State of Texas are the hostages. This mob

41
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: like candidate you can't refuse tactic is pure bovine excrement

42
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: FCC compliant. Go vote him out now, my fellow patriotic Texans.

43
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: Paxton or Hunt either would be fine. Just send the

44
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: message back to these DC swamp bastards that might not

45
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: be FCC compliant that you will not be held hostage.

46
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: Thank you for all your advocacy, sir, much appreciated. John PS.

47
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: I heard you poison Jesse Kelly at your State of

48
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: the Union watch party with a fine cigar well played.

49
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what Jesse said on his show, but

50
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: since I got this yesterday and Jesse was over Tuesday night,

51
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: he must have said something about us smoking cigars. Tuesday night,

52
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: I didn't have a State of the Union watch party,

53
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: per se. Jesse just came over to the house and

54
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: we ate dinner and watched the State of the Union

55
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: and hurled insults at the Democrats on the screen, much

56
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: to our own amusement. But I got to thinking about

57
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: this and it hit me. You know, there was a

58
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: there was an eighteen wheeler driver from California who was

59
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: an illegal alien from India and had come through Canada

60
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: come down to California, managed to drive this multi thousand

61
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: pound machine, didn't know what he was doing, and killed

62
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: a mother and her children on the East Coast. So

63
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: what happened in California in these contiguous lower forty eight

64
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: states bled into another state. That family had to bury

65
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: their loved ones because of the actions of Gavin Newsom.

66
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: It would seem like, well, what they do in California,

67
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: they can suffer from, and I'd be fine with that.

68
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: But we have freedom of movement across the states. And

69
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: it hit me, you know, when he said, that's not

70
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: just a Texas thing, that's in all of these precious

71
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: United States things thing Because when he said, because you

72
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: see that one man, John Wayne mccornan has an outsized

73
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: influence on me and my family's daily life, not because

74
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: of his oversized belt buckle, but because he's one of

75
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: fifty US senators who went through won't pass the Save

76
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: Act and things like that. And it got me thinking

77
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: of the responsibility we have between now and the polls

78
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: closing on Tuesday at seven o'clock. Roberty Lee, as commander

79
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: of the Confederate Forces, would often admonish his troops the

80
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: eyes of the South are upon you, and what came

81
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: to be known as the Lost Cause. There was a

82
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: sense of dignity and elegance and divine intention to what

83
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: Roberty Lee was doing and a great sacrifice that he'd

84
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: made personally professionally, and he considered that a grand responsibility

85
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: to serve with honor and dignity and understand that you're

86
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: in the middle of something much larger than yourself. Well,

87
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: when the war was over, he went to what was

88
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: Washington College in Virginia and came to be Washington and

89
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: Lee in honor of his service there. And he would

90
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: say to the students at Washington College with it later Washington,

91
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: the eyes of the South are upon you. And he

92
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: had a student that he was a mentor of it

93
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: became a master debater, a lawyer, brilliant leader named William

94
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: Lambdon Prather, and Prayther would end up studying under him

95
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: at Washington College and hear him say that, and he

96
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: would come to Texas and he changed that to the

97
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: eyes of Texas are upon you. So he would give

98
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: these very very august lectures to the student body and

99
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: he would close with the eyes of Texas are upon you.

100
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: Because the idea was you are the leaders of this

101
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: state and then this country, which has been something the

102
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: University of Texas has felt as their mission for many years.

103
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: And that's a pretty strong motivator But then I thought

104
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: about Dwight David Eisenhower telling our troops before they would

105
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: be slaughtered at Normandy, many of them. He said, the

106
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: eyes of the world are upon me, and it hit me,

107
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: you know what's about to happen in Texas. It's not

108
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: overblown to say this is going to affect the direction

109
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 2: of this country and this world. That races pretty much

110
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: is snake farm. The snake farm just sounds nasty. Snake

111
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: farm pretty much? Is that is so Ray Wiley Hobart,

112
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: simple phrasing, so simple, sometimes the repetition, it's just it's

113
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: just perfect. So here's a young guy singing under the

114
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: name Ricky Chilton. I think his name is Ricky Chilton,

115
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: sure or something like that. He has a song called

116
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: Ronnie Rigamortis. But he's got a number of little catchy bits,

117
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: and he's being compared to a young Ray Wyley Hubbard,

118
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: and all of his stuff is kind of funny. And

119
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: what's interesting is a lot of it, just a lot

120
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: of it reminds me of John Evans. For those of

121
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: you who've ever heard John Evans. He has a song

122
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: called I Don't Need two Mamas in my Life. But

123
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: this guy's writing kind of funny stuff on that have

124
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: a distinct Ray Wyley Hubbard sound to him. And he's

125
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: not an accomplished musician, but he's a very witty guy

126
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: and kind of like Wheeler Walker. He's found a little

127
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: lane for himself. And I think a year or two

128
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: from now he's gonna just blow up. But I've been

129
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: listening to his stuff and it's really really good. And

130
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: that that uh, that background music right there, and the

131
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: way it drives that song. That that this Ricky Chiltern.

132
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: If you go find him, you'll you'll also notice we

133
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: have been talking about Jasmine Crockett in the Democrat primary,

134
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: and that the the evolution of Jasmine Crockett. And when

135
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett came to the United States Senate, she talked

136
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: like everybody else. She didn't say acts for ask she

137
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: didn't misconjugate her b verbs. She didn't talk in a

138
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: manner that you were thinking, oh, I bet her EBT

139
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: account is low, or you know, she had three baby

140
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: daddies in prison. She talked like a young lady on

141
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: the make. She'd come to Congress. She was ambitious. She

142
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: didn't wow you with her genius, but you certainly wouldn't

143
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: have thought she's a low performer, but when she got there,

144
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: she realized there's a lot of that. One needs that

145
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: and got time for that. So she started morphing into

146
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: what she noticed was getting better reaction, much as Kamala did,

147
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: and that was the ghetto the ghetto stick. So the

148
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: ghetto stick became kind of what she did most of

149
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: the time. And the part that's offensive is it's inauthentic.

150
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: Authenticity is everything. If someone is the way they are,

151
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: so be it. But when you behave in this manner

152
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: in a public life, it makes one wonder are you

153
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: doing that as the ultimate insult unintended of your audience

154
00:11:53,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: because you're giving them back what you see in them.

155
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: And then there is the follow up, do you think

156
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: they're so stupid they'll believe it? And then there is

157
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: the troubling question are they so? Gavin Newsom is running

158
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: for president in twenty twenty eight. We all know it.

159
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: Young man in a hurry. That's he's trying to be

160
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: a young Bill Clinton. And so he was speaking to

161
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: a black audience the other day and he said a

162
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: line that he's taken to using a lot. He said,

163
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to impress you. I'm trying to impress

164
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: upon you that I'm just like you. I've just lexed you.

165
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: I can't read. You'll never see me read a speech.

166
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: I can't read. I only had a nine to sixty

167
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: on the SATA. And he basically lays out, listen to you,

168
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 2: stupid black people. I'm just like you. I'm not very smart.

169
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: Don't think of me as white privilege. Think of me

170
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: as just like you. This is a guy who claims

171
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: he grew up eating Peter but in jelly samwich is.

172
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: Maybe he did. His father and grandfather are incredibly connected

173
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: in California. His father was the right hand man conciliary

174
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: lawyer fixer for the Getty family, one of the three

175
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: richest families in the world. Not likely. He claimed that

176
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: the only thing he focused on as a kid was ball,

177
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,119
Speaker 2: because you could just imagine him, you know, playing basketball

178
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: down at the you know, at the corner court in

179
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: the hood. It's also grotesque this desire to be what

180
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: he thinks they want him to be as a mirror

181
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: to them, because it tells you what he thinks of

182
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: them as malleable, manipulatable idiots. And it's disgusting when Democrats

183
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: do that, except that's what John Wayne mccornyn is doing.

184
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: Every six years, the swamp creature comes back and tells

185
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: you he loves Trump when he's stabbed Trump in the back,

186
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: that he's just like you. He hangs out at places,

187
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: he's just like you. He's not. This is the most

188
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: insulting thing ever. John Wayne mccornyn is one of us.

189
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: He is just like us.

190
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: Not a lick of difference between John Wayne mccornyn and

191
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: your neighbor that gets really into Halloween Bill. He gets

192
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: frustrated by the same things you do. In fact, he

193
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: hates political ads. He is so tired of political ads

194
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: that he can't sleep at night. He hates the robo calls, hell,

195
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: he hates his own robo calls. He hates the email spam,

196
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: and he hates and I mean hates the onslaught of

197
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: text messages. John Wayne mccorn is so much like you

198
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: that he even hates John Wayne mccornyn. That's a man

199
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: of the people that he knows you hate him, and

200
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 4: he's right there with you, and he'll tell you to

201
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: your face if you join him at one of the

202
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 4: weekend cul de Sac parties in his very normal subdivision.

203
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: His neighbors will walk up and say you suck, and

204
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: he'll go tell me about it and then spit like

205
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: he's disgusted. He's a self loathing, self hating humiliated by

206
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: how he betrayed President Trump, walking embarrassment to himself, and

207
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 4: he's proud of it. He knows you hate him, and

208
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: he's right there with you. He's so much like us

209
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: that he can't stand himself. It's complex. So when you

210
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: step into the voting booth, just know that John Wayne

211
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 4: mccornyn is well aware that you can't stand him, and.

212
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: He's arm in arm with you because he's one of us.

213
00:15:50,880 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: John Wayn I'm just here in Harry robertol Key did

214
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: it right. He retired, and I'm gonna sing anymore, and

215
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna perform anywhere. I'm gonna release any new music. Nothing.

216
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: Just went out to his tractor and rode around and

217
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: didn't see anymore for about a week, and then they

218
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: double prices him. He's the hottest ticket in town, and

219
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: I ain't mad at him. I love his music, hate

220
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: his politics, love his music, love him as a person,

221
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: love what he does, love love.

222
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,239
Speaker 1: The love, love, love.

223
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: The stories that he tells. And I love the fact

224
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: that he seems to be enjoying himself more than he

225
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: never had, than he ever has. He seems to be

226
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: enjoying this phase of his life. He talks about sobriety,

227
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: He talks about, you know, the demons that that that

228
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: he was fighting, And a lot of people would say, well, well,

229
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: why would he have a demon? Because he wanted to

230
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: be bigger, because he wanted to be international, because he

231
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: wanted to be famous. Oh he's Robert Okean. Yeah, but

232
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: that's not where he expected to be. That's what's hard

233
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: for people to understand. It's not what you measure success

234
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: as for him, it's what he does. One night, I

235
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: was in Austin. I sent a text to Hayes, Caral

236
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: Shining Ribs, and John Evans separately, and I said, Hey,

237
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: I'm in Austin. If you want to get together for

238
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: a drink at eight o'clock figuring one out of the three? Right,

239
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: you put a couple of lines in the water, you

240
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: catch one. All three said yeah, it sounds like a

241
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: great idea. So I thought, well, they all get along.

242
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a little weird that I didn't tell

243
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: the other one is going to be there, so I didn't.

244
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know that's weird when people

245
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: do that, and it was weird not do it. So

246
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's weird.

247
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: I did it.

248
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: And we're sitting there and it's interesting to watch the

249
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: dynamic of the three of them accomplished in their own ways.

250
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: But Hayes Crawl was Hayes Crawl has done very well

251
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: for himself, and he's he's he's made it very big

252
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: in his own way, in kind of a Shooter Jennings

253
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: way or a Sergel Simpson ways, as kind of a

254
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: cult following within a subgenre. But he was talking at

255
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: one point about his frustrations and failings and Shiny Ribs said,

256
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: what are you talking about, and he said, well, I

257
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: didn't want to do country. I wanted to be a

258
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: rock star. I wanted to be Mick Jagger dancing around

259
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: on stage, and Shiny Ribs Kevin Russell said can you dance?

260
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: And he said, not one bit. As part of the

261
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: reason I'm not make Jagger dancing around on stage. And

262
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: I've thought about how honest that was for him to

263
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: say that. I've thought about that many times, and it

264
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: really really had. It made me admire him for being

265
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 2: able and willing to say that that.

266
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 4: That he uh.

267
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: That in his mind, this is where he envisioned himself

268
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: and that's not where he is. And I think that's

269
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 2: true of so many people that you may think that

270
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: they're successful, you may think they're wealthy, but they wanted

271
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: to be a billionaire and they're only a millionaire anyway.

272
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: David Jolan, Michael Berry show go ahead.

273
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 5: David and Michael, God bless you for what you do.

274
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: Thank you so on this argument about this idea that

275
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 5: you could lose the Senate race without courting anybody that's

276
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 5: thinking that way simply needs to remember that when by

277
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 5: was president, it's easy to forget how far we've come

278
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 5: after January sixth, this idea, now that we're here with

279
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 5: Trump and he's president and things are going well and

280
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 5: he's doing a lot of good for our country, that

281
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: was that was not clear that that was going to

282
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 5: happen over these next few years that were to follow.

283
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 5: And when John Coryn had his chance to try to

284
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 5: end Trump, he took it. And people may not remember this,

285
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: but you can go check the tape. Not only did

286
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: he vote for Lisa Monico. He went on the Senate

287
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 5: floor and gave him gave his full throated endorsement for

288
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 5: Lisa Monico as Deputy AG. And this was after Trump's

289
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 5: first presidency, So we know, we know, you know, anybody

290
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 5: who's a Republican primary voter ought to know who that

291
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 5: person is and what she's capable of and what she

292
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 5: did in the first term and then what they tried

293
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 5: to do to him in the second during Biden's administration.

294
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: So just remember that's who John Coryn is. And you know, frankly,

295
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 5: you might as well have Jasmine Crockett if that's what

296
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 5: you're going to get right.

297
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: I just checked because I wasn't. I knew she had

298
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: done something under Obama, but she was Homeland Security Advisor

299
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: under Obama. You're absolutely right. That's one of those things

300
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 2: that it doesn't make the front page. One of those

301
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: things is easily forgotten. But you are, you are a

302
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: spot on David. Good call, very good call. Thank you, Pete,

303
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: you're and Michael Berry show go ahead, good.

304
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: Sir, Lawren Michael.

305
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that I get you in the station so.

306
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 6: Well down here in Rockford. I'm heading from Hotport and

307
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: MV Houston to Galveston for a funeral of a marine

308
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,320

Speaker 2: and she had posted something a few days ago and

345
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: it popped up. I don't think I ever met him,

346
00:23:53,359 --> 00:24:00,520

347

348
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: that pissed me off one time in a very marine

349
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: humor kind of way. But I didn't know he was

350
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: a marine. And I responded to his comment and I said, dude,

351
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: kind of stupid thing is that to say you go

352
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 2: somewhere else or whatever else? And he shot me in

353
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: the email he said, dude, I'm just messing with you.

354

356
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: blowing up. That was his reaction anyway, So I looked

357
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,880

358
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,200

00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 2: thank you.

375
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: Back in the nineties, I was teaching, but I wound

376
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: up co owning a check cashing store that was in

377
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: a Texico station on the biggest busiest boulevard in town. Well,

378
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: first day on the job, I'm standing behind the bullet

379
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: slowing glass. It's you know, and it's after dark, just

380
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: right after work, and a black guy comes in and

381
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: he talking to me, and he's like, oh, you cash checks, yes, sir,

382
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: And he's you know how I guess this will piss

383
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people off, but some black people like

384
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: to try to get over on white folks. Anyway, he

385
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: asked me, what would you do if I was to

386
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: try to rob you? Well, I looked at him and

387
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I said I would probably shoot you fifteen times with

388
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: a gun I've got in my right hand, and I smiled.

389
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: Is that the end of the story.

390
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: Well, he walked, he blanched, Michael, he blanched. I mean

391
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: he walked. He got away from me as fast as

392
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: he possibly could. He wanted to get beer, and he

393
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: kept like when he made made it to the cashier.

394
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean he kept three three rows of overpriced convenience

395
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: store crap in between us. I mean he didn't want

396
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: to make eye contact with me. I just that's a

397
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: feel good story to me.

398
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: Is blanche a word you use often in that context?

399
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say you turned white. I broke

400
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: out the saus.

401
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: Well did you plan ahead to say blanche or did

402
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: it just roll off to come naturally?

403
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: Well, I actually it kind of prepped this call or

404
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: thought it through it my mind. You wouldn't. You might

405
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: not think that now, but uh no, I.

406
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: Do believe that. I do believe that. I think I

407
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 2: think in your mind, you roll over how it's going

408
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: to go. You've got a Sometimes you you you struggle

409
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: through the opening, but once you kind of get into

410
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: where you're going. If I let you, sometimes I throw

411
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: you off, but if I let you, you usually have

412
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: kind of kind of strugged. It's interesting because blant, that's

413
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: a proper use of blanche and what the word means.

414
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: But I usually only hear chefs refer to blanche as

415
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: blanching an almond or blanching a bra. And I remember

416
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: the first time I heard it. I was an adult.

417
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: I was probably into my thirties, maybe my forties, and

418
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 2: a chef had said, you know, I asked, you know,

419
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: how do you make that? And whoever it was, maybe

420
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: it was Charles Clark, I don't really remember. It was said, well,

421
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: you blanch your almonds and then you do this, And

422
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: I had no idea what that meant. And I don't

423
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: know if I had a phone at the time that

424
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: had internet connection, because that's a relatively recent phenomenon in

425
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: human history, and so used to if somebody used a

426
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: word you didn't know, you had to kind of tuck

427
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: it away. And I'm going to look that up next

428
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 2: time I'm in front of a in front of a dictionary.

429
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: Well, I was an English teacher.

430
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: But that's it's a great word. I love that you

431
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: used it. The fact that you used it twice made

432
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: me uncomfortable because I feel like when people use a

433
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: word that's not conversational and they use it twice and

434
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: they're real conscious of it instead of it rolling. But

435
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: I like that you used it, and you used it

436
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: very naturally and it is such a good word. So yeah,

437
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: extra credit for that. Oh well, are you stilling, dadson?

438
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: Where are you somewhere in Alabama, aren't you?

439
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just in Alabama.

440
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember getting big wacks. Yeah, the big wacks.

441
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

442
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: You should be impressed, John, And how much of your

443
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: story I remember considering how long it's been since we

444
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: talked about that on the air, and how many people

445
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: I interact with. That should tell you how much your

446
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: story impressed me or what an impression it made. It's

447
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: not all positive, but yeah, do you know why I

448
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: take your call? Do you want the hon the street

449
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: to want to take your call?

450
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I do or not. They go ahead.

451
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: My mother had a younger brother named Preston Wayne Seeber,

452
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: and my uncle Preston was the best mechanic I ever nue.

453
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: He worked at Stevens Buick, he worked at Ball Dodge.

454
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: He was a great mechanic. I say this because car

455
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: dealers would tell me this. People that I knew that

456
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: were mechanics would tell me what a great mechanic he was.

457
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: And as a kid, I was very close to him.

458
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: He bought a chopper one time. What do you call that?

459
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: When yeah, the gorilla bars and hole. Then he came

460
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: and picked me up, and he had to have me

461
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: back before my dad got home, because my dad didn't

462
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: want me riding on the back of it. And when

463
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,880
