1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Michael Verry show is on the air.

3
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Good.

4
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: I hate to admit it, but I got recently so

5
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: peevited off with Michael Barry and his ignorant opinions on

6
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: things that I went ahead and wrote hid in my

7
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: escorched the Earth email, which just leveled him.

8
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean it blowed his ego.

9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: Out the water and I just totally like it was honey.

10
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: And guess what I got back a note from somebody

11
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: called Emily who asked me to please followed their Facebook page.

12
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: No response at all from mister micro Christian Barrin. He

13
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 3: ain't got time for people like me who have got

14
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: a legitimate complainers behind his aimens.

15
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Now, I feel that.

16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: That is just ignorant, and I'm onna write my congresswoman,

17
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: oh wait, she's been killed.

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Like a little music after my bits. But I'm old

19
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: fashioned that way.

20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 4: Nathan Rights Zar the Cypress Cypress Economy Ace Hardware if

21
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: that's what it says, is what is the Cypress Economy

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: Eates Hardware at eleven six fifty five Jones Road in

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: Houston has a fudge shop.

24
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: That's right.

25
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: You can get a lawnmower pellet grille and fudge in

26
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: the same store. That's America Ramon. I didn't say they

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: were packing it. I said you could eat it. Which,

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: speaking of which, Tim Waltz has been served this morning

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: by the Department of Justice with a subpoena along with

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: that little weasel Jacob Fry. We will see what becomes

31
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: of it. I have stopped investing emotionally in sports teams.

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: It's a much healthier way to watch sports. Most people

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: live or die by whether their team wins, and I got.

34
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: News for you. Those are bad odds.

35
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 4: The house will always win that and in fact, even

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: when their team does win it, they're worried about next year,

37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: and so they can never actually enjoy it. It's a

38
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 4: fool's errand so I stepped back and decided that I'm

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: just going to enjoy sports for sports, but not let

40
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: myself be devastated by the win or loss of a

41
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: particular team.

42
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: I did.

43
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: I must admit, I did really really enjoy the Indiana

44
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: win on a lot of levels. Were there were many

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: things about it that I thought were just delightful.

46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I saw one guy wrote a two.

47
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: Star quarterback scrambling for potentially the national championship winning touchdown

48
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: on fourth down fourth and five, by the way, and

49
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: his old line was a lot smaller than theirs. For

50
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: the two star quarterback scrambling for potentially the national championship

51
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: winning touchdown on fourth down in his hometown against his

52
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: hometown team after winning the Heisman for the most losing

53
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: program of all time while his mother with ms screams

54
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: for joy from her seat, is possibly the limit of

55
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: how good sports can get. He didn't note, but it

56
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: goes without saying potentially scrambling for potentially the national championship

57
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: winning touchdown on fourth down in his hometown against his

58
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: hometown team.

59
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

60
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think chrystal ball is about not tired of hearing? Hey,

61
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: what was it about Mendoza that you didn't want?

62
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: Exactly? Carson Beck did not have a great week. You

63
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: probably saw. But at the press conference, I guess it

64
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: was on Thursday or I think.

65
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: It was Friday. They asked.

66
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: She asked, so, did you know how were classes today?

67
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: And he said, I graduated two years ago. I don't

68
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: go to classes. And that was apparently a wake up

69
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: call for people who are so passionate about college football

70
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: that they don't want it to be destroyed. But they

71
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 4: had no idea that you have people playing for teams

72
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: that haven't gone to school in years. There is some

73
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: sort of weird dress up fantasy. What is that thing

74
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 4: where people go to the cosplay? But what was the

75
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: thing where they go to the to the convention centers

76
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 4: and they dress up like girls or like animal?

77
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

78
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: What's the pony thing called? Or furres is one of them?

79
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: But what is the pony?

80
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: My little pony? What's it called Bronie's.

81
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is something going on with a bunch of

82
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: college football fans. They're living in some little fantasy playdate

83
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: thing going on where they have this idea. Uh, and

84
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 4: they get so mad at me for piercing this veil.

85
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: But they have this idea that the players, you know,

86
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: get up the step up late and study, Oh, study,

87
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: just study. Got a biology exam tomorrow and they go in,

88
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: they go to class and they coach, I'm sorry, I'm late,

89
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: but we had a group project in psychology and I

90
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 4: had to finish it, you know, Coach, you know how

91
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: I'm about my coursework and my classes.

92
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: And and then one.

93
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: Of them, you know, maybe didn't go to the semi

94
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: final game because you know, he had a paper due,

95
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: and but there he he made he finish his paper,

96
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: and he got here and all his homework was done.

97
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: He ate his dinner, and now he's here. He's here.

98
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: We're going to tuck him in and play the game.

99
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: There is this silly idea that unfortunately people will desperately,

100
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: desperately cling to, and so they don't know anything about

101
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: what they're talking about, but they love to.

102
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Say they don't ruin the game. Game been ruined? You

103
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: watching the championship? Yeah?

104
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: Oh, but what well, this guy is Fernando Mendoza. He's

105
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: something else. You mean the one that came over from

106
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: UC was it UC Berkeley? You mean the one that

107
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: came over in the portal. Uh, he wasn't stuck in

108
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: California where you wouldn't know who he was, and he

109
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 4: couldn't praise Jesus Christ and you wouldn't know about it

110
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: because he'd be in some program you didn't know.

111
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: You mean that guy. You're enjoying watching that guy?

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, you're enjoying all those other players that were

113
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: built by bringing them from other schools where they were

114
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: really good on a really bad team, or they were

115
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: in a conference that you would never watch, and now

116
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: you got to watch them, and you got to watch

117
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: an amazing football game. I thought the point here was

118
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: that we would watch amazing sports games. I didn't realize

119
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: that these people were building their their fantasy teams and

120
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: fantasy behaviors. I cannot stand hypocrisy. I cannot, I cannot

121
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 4: have It is people who live in a state of

122
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: hypocrisy who need, desperately need to keep mouthing off about

123
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: how sports have been ruined.

124
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: We need to take the money out of the game.

125
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: When the money's been in the game forever and the

126
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: coach has been getting paid forever, and teams always had

127
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: a competitive advantage based on their contract with a national broadcaster.

128
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: You think that Lamar and ray Alcorn had the same

129
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: ability to recruit that Alabama did.

130
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: No.

131
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: If you notice carefully.

132
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: Though, the people leading the charge against all of this

133
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: are fans of legacy sports programs, because guess what, Alabama

134
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: didn't dominate this year, Georgia didn't dominate this year, Ohio

135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: State didn't even dominate.

136
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Indiana did. And they don't want these upstarts at the table.

137
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: They want to go back to the world where they

138
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: get to be that the national champion are in championship.

139
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: That's what they want. If you're honest, that's what they want.

140
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 4: This ain't about paying players or players moving.

141
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Hey, I made up to stay at this, come the hometown.

142
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 7: I got the.

143
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: To the keeper, the stone and the salt.

144
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: The Houston Avenue Bridge has been struck for the first

145
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: time in twenty twenty six.

146
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: You'll won't be the last.

147
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: Flash back to October twenty twenty five KPRCTV. The Houston

148
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: Avenue Bridge at Iten in the Heights has been hit

149
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 4: seventy two times this year alone, and every time a

150
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: truck hits the bridge, text Dot must send out inspectors

151
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 4: closing itens so they can assess the structure's safety.

152
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: A story from KPRCTV tex Dot calls.

153
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 7: It one of Houston's most frequently struck bridges, the Houston

154
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 7: Avenue Bridge over nineteen their monitoring system recorded seventy two

155
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 7: strikes so far into twenty twenty five.

156
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 8: The bridge was.

157
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 7: Last hit on October fifth, Before that, September eighth, and

158
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 7: earlier this year, it was struck on May sixth. Every

159
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 7: time a truck hits this bridge, the cost to fix

160
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 7: it adds up, and Texans are footing the bill. Text

161
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 7: Dot says that the cost of repairs and inspections this

162
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 7: year alone tops more than four hundred thousand dollars, including

163
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 7: seventy two thousand dollars in house labor and three hundred

164
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 7: and twenty eight thousand dollars and contracted work. The bridge

165
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 7: stands just fourteen feet three inches high, meaning anything taller

166
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 7: needs a special permit. Tex Dot says every strike triggers

167
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 7: an immediate inspection, and those inspections can shut down the

168
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 7: freeway for up to two hours. Text Dot says many

169
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 7: of the truckers responsible were hauling oversized lows without the

170
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 7: required permits or ignored designated routes to take shortcuts to

171
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 7: prevent crashes. The bridge is equipped with three oversized load

172
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 7: detection systems that what warnings when tall trucks approach, but

173
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 7: not everyone listens on paper. The Houston Avenue Bridge passes

174
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 7: the safety test, but it fails the highth test. Big

175
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 7: Time tech Dot engineers rated its clearance a two out

176
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 7: of nine, the lower score possible, calling it intolerable. The

177
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 7: Houston Avenue Bridge is set to come down in twenty

178
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 7: twenty seven. Until then, cruse say they'll keep a close

179
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 7: eye every time a truck rose through.

180
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that's gonna help much. Somewhere somebody has

181
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: that contract for the inspections, and he is desperately hoping

182
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: on his.

183
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: On his boat out in the Yucatan, he is desperately.

184
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 4: Hoping that they don't replace that bridge because he living

185
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: large on those inspection fees.

186
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Seventy two times and ten months.

187
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: Extra credit if you noticed that the soundtrack with which

188
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: we bumped was the bridge on the River Quai. Older folks,

189
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: we'll get that. Seventy two times and ten months. That

190
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 4: bridge has been hit. States like California and New York

191
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: were issuing CDL licenses to foreign born drivers who didn't

192
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: speak English.

193
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: Wonder how many of them hit it. Don't proceed.

194
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 9: If you're more than eighteen feet high, you'll hit the bridge.

195
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna do it, not gonna do the impersonation

196
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 9: of the people talking in the cab, but you know

197
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 9: what I'm doing. How many of those seventy two crashes

198
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 9: were caused by one of those drivers? If they don't

199
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 9: read English, rite in English, or speech speak English, they.

200
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: Have no idea what the hell's going on? Why would they.

201
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: Maybe all of them were non English speakers. We don't know,

202
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: maybe some percentage of them. If this keeps up, we're

203
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: gonna have to go back to old school ferries. But then,

204
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: rom on, we run the risk of taking a Missouri

205
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 4: boat ride to work every day, and nobody wants that.

206
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Cap Rdlings, I advise you to turn back. You can

207
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: catch you later. Turn back?

208
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 2: Are you crazy go to try to pick us out?

209
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: One b one? I'll never do it at best? Still,

210
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: get two or three up front there. I advise you

211
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: to turn back. Cap you they're coming.

212
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 10: Do you really think you can shoot all those men

213
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 10: down before they shoot you? No, No, mister Josie Williams,

214
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 10: there is such a thing in this country called justice.

215
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: Well, mister Coppetbagger, we got something in this territory call

216
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: the Missouri boot Ride.

217
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: Such a great scene, such an incredibly good scene. No, no, no,

218
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 4: I uh the story I wanted to get Yeah, you know,

219
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: I'll do that later.

220
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: I want to get to this story.

221
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: At Taco Cabana, a teenage Taco Cabana employee accidentally shoots

222
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: himself in the groin while it worked. He's now been

223
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: arrested and charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm and tampering

224
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: with evidence. At the time of the accidental shooting, he

225
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: was on probation already. You want to guess what he

226
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: was on probation for unlawful carrying of a weapon. We

227
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: don't need gun control. We have gun laws on the

228
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: books justin force them. But this dude was charged once

229
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 4: before with carrying an unlawful weapon. We don't think he

230
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: shut himself then, and while out on probation, he's carrying

231
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: a pistol in his pocket and the pistol goes off,

232
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: and you can imagine. The only good news is they've

233
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: not charged him with the felony. It's a misdeaner, Ramonia,

234
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: It's a It took me a minute to get secuitously

235
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 4: around to that. That's actually a Daryl Koonda joke. It's

236
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: a misdewaner, which you can take one of. No, okay,

237
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: all right, So my question to you, and we will

238
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: open the phone lines. If you have ever accidentally shot yourself,

239
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 4: there's always a good story or someone else, but preferably

240
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: yourself or you were accidentally shot. Now, I don't mean

241
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: a gray's wound. I mean there needs to be a hole.

242
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 4: There needs to be some flesh missing. Seven one thousand,

243
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: we'll move you to the front of the line. After

244
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: that we'll get the people who've just been shot regularly

245
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: like it what an accident, you don't get extra seven.

246
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: I got a message from a former assistant district attorney.

247
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: Apparently the charge for the pocket pistol that went off

248
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: is a misdemeanor, not a misdeweener.

249
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I did not realize that I thought was a missdoweener. Yeah.

250
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: So after that we asked if you've ever shot yourself

251
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: or been shot although shot yourself moves to the front

252
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: of line, Kevin, Oh, Kevin's Bronie, yes, Have you also

253
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: shot yourself.

254
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: With the nail gun?

255
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 11: Yeahs to the webbing between my U between.

256
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: My thumb and four figures.

257
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: Okay, well hold on right there unless you shot yourself.

258
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: Bronie's ur second, right now, hold on, which is kind

259
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: of fitting.

260
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Uh, let's go to h K.

261
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 8: You're up, Michael, Yes, Michael, yeah, HK pits.

262
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

263
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate you showing what you're doing with the veterans.

264
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.

265
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, your veteran. When did you serve forty

266
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: fifty one.

267
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: Oh, right on, right after World War two, just before Korea. Yes,

268
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: all right, well thank you for your service, my good man.

269
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: What branch Air Force?

270
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: Right on? Okay, that makes.

271
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: You last year ninety, isn't it?

272
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 9: Yes?

273
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: It does, all right. Say my dog shot the back

274
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: of my seat in the Twelve Games shotgun?

275
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Oh were you in the seat?

276
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh, I put. I laid my shotgun back there,

277
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: which I rarely ever do. And Bennie Boy on my

278
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: big black lab was out there. And I pulled up

279
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: this store in College Station where I live, and all

280
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: of a sudden I heard his loud noise and I

281
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: felt the back of my seat move a little bit,

282
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: and I could not figure out what happened. But he

283
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 2: was jumping and running around and apparently pulled the trigger

284
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: on that twelve gage a seventy shotgun a number four bucks. Anyway,

285
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: I escaped being injured.

286
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: Anyway, did was not a single pellet in you? No spore, huh.

287
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: I want to tell you. Also, I originated to hook

288
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: a hornet sign at ut Oh.

289
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're on. I'm so glad you I was.

290
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: Going to send a picture of Michael sometimes.

291
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: No, no, this is Michael, so so hold on and

292
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: get Ramote to get your number.

293
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 8: I lost that a hard time here and you I'm sorry, Yeah,

294
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 8: I lost your email.

295
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 4: I was going to reach out to you. I saw

296
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: that message that you saw me. That was fantastic.

297
00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: That was me.

298
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, hold on and I'm gonna put you on hold.

299
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: I was at the Air Force the aid bearry from

300
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: Jazz Protectors, who'd probably be your father's age.

301
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: Uh, he would know, he'd be.

302
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: My father would be eighty six in a few weeks,

303
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 4: so he would have been a little older. But he

304
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 4: didn't have an aid that. We never had anybody going

305
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 4: the Air Force in our family.

306
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 2: Yep, well he was shying Wolming a w bear from Jasper. Anyway,

307
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: I really appreciate your show and enjoy listening to it.

308
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 6: H K.

309
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: I could listen to you talk all day.

310
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 11: Thank you.

311
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

312
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 11: Man.

313
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you got a lot of good stories.

314
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 6: I have a few.

315
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 2: That's what happened when you're around a good wall.

316
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,960

369
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 9: I'm creating today?

370
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 12: Okay, So I had to call about the shooting stuff.

371
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 12: It's not about me being uh shooting myself.

372
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: It was about my father. He shot himself and ironically

373
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 5: today he'd be celebrating his seventy seventh birthday. So I

374
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 5: thought it was right just to call in. Uh. Basically

375
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: he was for I understand, I was very young.

376
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: I was an infant.

377
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 12: Uh, he was cleaning a twenty two pistol and he

378
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 12: thought I was cleaned out and had there was one

379
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 12: in the chamber for I understand.

380
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 5: And he popped himself right in.

381
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: The forum, went right through.

382
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 12: He raised a big controversy.

383
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 5: My dad, my grandfather, was a judge at the time,

384
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: and because he and I had the same names.

385
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 12: When they call we in nine one one back in

386
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 12: the seventies, you know, they had to call somebody whatever.

387
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 5: You know, when they came over they.

388
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 12: Heard that, they thought was oh little Bill got shot. No,

389
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 12: they came over there with my dad believing all over

390
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 12: the place. You know, well, I understand, but I thought

391
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 12: it was kind of funny to you brought that up

392
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 12: and made me think about that for a second.

393
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, so that's what's up.

394
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting what you made me think about

395
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: there is I've visited with a number of people after

396
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 4: they've been shot, and the thing that surprises me is,

397
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 4: on so many guns, how small the bullet wound is.

398
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: You know, it looks no bigger than a pimple. And

399
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 4: I guess in the movies we see it destroyed like

400
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 4: John Barnes that was shot down at Santa Fe.

401
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: That was different. You know that.

402
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: His his whole forearm is just destroyed it. But usually

403
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 4: it looks that you think, well that's just a pendper Ooh,

404
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: I got a message from freeze Misers said the phones

405
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 4: are are ringing off the hook. They're wearing them out

406
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 4: because all these stores that had a an inventory of

407
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: freeze Misers of kind of a just in time you

408
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: know yourself, three a week or five a week or

409
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 4: whatever the number was, and then somebody's coming in and

410
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 4: buying all of them. So all of a sudden, they

411
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 4: they're out and people are coming in and going, hey, I.

412
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: Need to get one of those freeze misers. We don't

413
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: have any, and people don't like that.

414
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 4: They don't care if you're stuck on inventory for ten

415
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 4: years eating that cost.

416
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: They do not care.

417
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: They want to when That's the thing about retail brick

418
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: and mortar is we expect you to have it when

419
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 4: you walk in, which makes it very hard for those

420
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 4: guys because you have to manage inventory. It's a it's

421
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: a tough deal. But apparently the Ace hardwarees are selling

422
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: a lot of freeze Misers because we mentioned Ace Hardware

423
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: and we mentioned the freeze miser. Everybody I've asked people

424
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 4: that are that are actual technical mechanical guys all tell me, no, no,

425
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: it isn't.

426
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: A because I'm so cynical.

427
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 4: I think most medical procedures, and you know Billy May's

428
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: kind of items are all just trash, you know, they

429
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 4: don't actually work. So it's nice when something really does

430
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: work the way it's supposed to. And I'm told that

431
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 4: this is a product that does, and it makes me happy.

432
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 4: Let's go to Sam, Sam, you shot yourself.

433
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 11: Oh uh no, this is a good news, bad news,

434
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 11: good news story. My twin brother let me have it.

435
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 11: We were six years old at the time, and it's

436
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 11: a it's one of those stories. Don't do it like

437
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 11: it happened to me. My father, one of his crew men,

438
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 11: his gun and his dog. The crewman brought it back,

439
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,120
Speaker 11: the dog dirty and the gun loaded. My mother didn't know,

440
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 11: so she put the shotgun up and a closet. Well,

441
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 11: these twin boys eyes, all four eyes, watched that gun

442
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 11: going with the closet, and immediately when she turned her back,

443
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 11: the gun was retrieved and like a long story, shocked.

444
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 11: I was the one who got it through and through

445
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 11: the left leg bad news, but the good news is

446
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 11: and I wound up with a scholarship because I spent

447
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 11: a lot of time in a kid's hospital with a

448
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 11: good library. But it that way and overall. It's also

449
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 11: a story of but a paratrooper named Bill. He he

450
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 11: was the one who accidentally pulled the trigger. Later I

451
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 11: was not allowed to go into the army because I

452
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 11: had this game, lad, But Bill wound up being a

453
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 11: paratrooper jumping out of him he said, eighteen perfectly good airplanes.

454
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 11: But he also even better than us. He wound up

455
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 11: with an education because of that. So bad news, good news.

456
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: That's an interesting story and well told. Sam. Are you

457
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: still an avid reader?

458
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 11: Oh reader, you bet you. It was one of the

459
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 11: joys of my life that I didn't know it until later.

460
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 11: But they also this children's library. I can tell the

461
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 11: name of it, and so I will. It's a shiner's

462
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 11: crippled children's hospital back then in Dallas. Nowadays it's a

463
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 11: beautiful children's hospital and where they'd be my guess at work.

464
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 11: But the library had a lot.

465
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 5: Of art books.

466
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 11: I wound up developing that people love of art of

467
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 11: all start, primarily Western art. I remember that Winslow Homer

468
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 11: became my favorite, but there was, of course, he had

469
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 11: lots and lots of American outdoor painters.

470
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: Who did you like well?

471
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 11: I think Winslow would be one of my primary guys,

472
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 11: but Frederick Greemonton of course, of course would be the

473
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 11: second place in there somewhere, but my overall favorite with

474
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 11: a guy named uh Norman Rockwell. Rockwell never painted a

475
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 11: picture that didn't have a story involved in it, like

476
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 11: the one I'm quit now, he.

477
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 4: Well said, Sam, I love Rockwell's paintings, and I think

478
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: part of the reason was there was one in doctor

479
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 4: Raleigh Allen's office when I was a little kid, and

480
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: I would go in there and I would be waiting

481
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: to get seen, to be seen by doctor Allen and

482
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 4: his nurse Barbara, or later the guy that he sold

483
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 4: his practice to, who was a young doctor, doctor Rutlis

484
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 4: Marty Rutlich, who was coming up, and he would be

485
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 4: my doctor as I got older. But I can remember

486
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: sitting and studying those photos. I can remember reading The

487
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: Boy's Life out in the lobby for hours on end,

488
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 4: and I can remember studying those photos. And there was

489
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: one with the doctor the kid sitting up on the

490
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 4: counter in one of the rooms, and another room was

491
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 4: was the soda fountain. And I am a sucker for

492
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 4: a soda fountain to this day. And the reality is

493
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 4: I didn't really grow up in the soda fountain era,

494
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 4: but I think I have convinced myself I have so,

495
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 4: Like when I go to a Star drug Store down

496
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 4: in Galveston and I walk in. In my mind, I think,

497
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 4: oh good, another soda fountain like you grew up with.

498
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: But then I started I realized, I realized I imagine

499
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 4: things so hard that I imagine them into being all

500
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 4: past things, like very old things. And I think it's

501
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 4: my love of nostalgia that I convinced myself that I

502
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 4: was part of all that. But I wasn't, and I

503
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 4: still enjoy Star drug Store is one of the few.

504
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: Another one is was it a place another place in

505
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 4: time that we went over in Rosenberg, which is a

506
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: wonderful little little little place to a lady that owns it,

507
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: and you can get a slow drink fizz or whatever

508
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: they're what's it called slow gen fizz and a proper

509
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: root beer float. I like that. That's a that's a

510
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: good time right there to be had, right there same you.

511
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: Probably I don't know if to remember all that.

512
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 11: Wait a minute, my bride is driving, so I can respond.

513
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 11: Now I'll listen to your program, have a chance I

515
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,760

Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not anyway, And what's what's her?

517
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 11: Her name is Visy instead of wheezy, it's Dizsy because

518
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 11: your father was a Swiss and he didn't pronounce wheezy

519
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 11: what she was called as a little girl. He had
