1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air, it's probably a 3 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: good time to open the phone lines if someone wanted 4 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: to share something that was on your mind. On anything 5 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: in particular. We were thinking of maybe playing a little 6 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: um game at some point later today, if y'all behave 7 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: you know how when you had a substitute teacher and 8 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: she'd tell you, you know, if y'all don't shoot spitballs and 9 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: don't act like a fool, and don't pull the girls 10 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: pigtails and ponytails, and maybe we'll we'll watch a movie 11 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: later this afternoon. Okay, okay, And I can remember going, okay, 12 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: how kind of like watch a movie. I like to 13 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: watch movie. About ten minutes later, I'm shooting spent balls, 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: pulling ponytails. I couldn't help it, So Ramon will open 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: the phone lines. In three two one seven one three 16 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: nine nine nine one thousand seven one three nine nine 17 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: nine one thousand. There are only five congressmen who predate 18 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: President Trump's first term. That means they are there over 19 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: ten years. They are there before Trump became president. Only 20 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: five Republicans, one of them being Congressman John Carter from 21 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Round Rock. Another one being Michael McCall, who was elected 22 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four. I've never been a fan 23 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: of Michael McCall. We have kind of an interesting overlap 24 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: because McCall's claim to fame, and really his only one, 25 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: was that he married into the family that owned the 26 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Clear Channel Radio. The Maze fan and the Maze family 27 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: are radio legends. Lowry Mays, who was the founder of 28 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Clear Channel. There were laws that prohibited a radio empire, 29 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: and those laws change, but I'll make for the sake 30 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: of simplicity, one company could only own two stations in 31 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: a market. So you can think back to wherever you 32 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: lived and the two stations, and they would cross promote 33 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: each other. You know, a company might have a talk 34 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: station and a music station. Now, there weren't that many 35 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: talk stations. People think there were, but there weren't. You 36 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: had Bob Grant, You had some news stations that may 37 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: have had slightly more opinionated news anchors. News radio was 38 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: somewhat popular, but it did not veer very much into 39 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: the political realm. You certainly didn't have what you have now, 40 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: where you have pure opinion the way we do on 41 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: say our flagship station kat or H and chances are 42 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: wherever you're hearing this, they have a lineup of folks 43 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: who do what we do. Even the news itself has 44 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: embraced more opinion per se, and I think that's largely 45 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: a reaction to the fact that what was considered mainstream 46 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: news was actually liberal talk for a number of decades, 47 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: and listeners demanded you do the same, but from the 48 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: proper perspective. So Lowry Mays did something in response to 49 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: the early eighties law change that allowed for the ownership 50 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: of more than one of more than two stations per market. 51 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: So immediately, just like when you see the once it 52 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: hits fifty basis points, I thinks where we're really going 53 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: to see the big change we get down into the fives, 54 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: you're going to see overnight economic activity, which is interesting 55 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: because I maintain that there are things because you're going 56 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: to see an inflationary an overnight mildly inflationary effect, there 57 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: are things that would be cheaper to buy today and 58 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: get it today, then to wait until there's a rate drop, 59 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: because even with the rate drop, when you look at 60 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: the overall cost you're going to outlay for something if 61 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: the interest rate to finance, it decreases, but the price 62 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: increases due to the overnight demand which was occasioned by 63 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: the interest rate drop. You're going to see that in 64 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: some cases, especially on a s shorter term, shorter finance run, 65 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: it will have made sense to buy now and not 66 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: wait for the rate drop. But I get it. Rate 67 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: drops become more than anything else, a measuring stick. Everybody 68 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: likes to get to say they got the best deal. 69 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing that car dealers are still in 70 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: business because everybody that buys a new car will tell 71 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: me how clever they are and how they screwed the 72 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: car dealer anything. Huhm wow. It's a wonder they're still 73 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: able to do what they do, you being so clever 74 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: and all. But in any case, so Lowry Mays was 75 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: the legend of radio and industry had an investor named 76 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Red Maccombs. Anybody that spending time in San Anton knows 77 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: who Red Macombs is. I owned, among other things, in 78 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings at one point and half of San Anton. 79 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Lowry Mays owned this radio company. A clear Channel is 80 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: an actual FTC term for a type of radio station, 81 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: and Clear Channel was the name of the company He 82 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: used to go out and start buying companies like j 83 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: Core A in FM, and these companies would have two 84 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: stations in Houston and two stations in Baton Rouge, and 85 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: two stations in New Orleans and Chicago, and he would 86 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: go out and gobble all these stations up, and in 87 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: the process it became what came to be known as 88 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: the clear channelization of radio. And a lot of listeners 89 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: didn't like it. And so what happened is you'd have 90 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: your local FM DJ that you really liked at KSEZB 91 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: ninety five in Beaumont or at Magic one oh two 92 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: in Houston, or whatever those stations were that wasn't a 93 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: Clear Channel station, but you'd have your DJ that you 94 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: liked in your market. And then Clear Channel would buy 95 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: a number of companies that had stations in that format, 96 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: and they would pay one guy bigger money with a 97 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: bigger personality and spread him. It would syndicate him across 98 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: those stations, and so that gave them immense influence and 99 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: they owned clear Channel, which, of course when Bob Pittman 100 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: and Rich Presler came in with the private equity groups 101 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: and bought it and then flipped the name to iHeart 102 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: but that was still the same platform. It was still 103 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: the thousand or so stations, and it was still complete 104 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: dominance in the talk radio space, including the most dominant 105 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: talk radio host of all time, Rush Limbaugh. And Rush 106 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: Limbaugh loved them. They signed his checks. One of his 107 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: one of his signing bonuses was a G five, And 108 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, Rush loved his private jets, a big, plush, 109 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: wonderful G five, a Gulf Stream that he could jet 110 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: around on. So he loved the Maze family. Sean Hannity 111 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: was a Mazed property through Premiere, which is indicator Beck 112 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: was Amazed employee through Premiere. You had the three biggest 113 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: platforms in talk radio. And when Michael Moore, when Michael 114 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: McCall ran, he just kind of walked into those endorsements, 115 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: became the ultimate swamp preacher. And thank goodness, he's now 116 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: going to retire to become a filthy lobbyist instead of 117 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: being a filthy Connors. 118 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: The Michael Mary Show. 119 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: I would love to continue this dissertation on the history 120 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: of modern radio. Maybe we will later, but first let's 121 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: go to the phone lines. As promised.

And I didn't realize until I received a 198 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: check from him, and there were the three lines that 199 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: Triple Sticks was the third. And I've always thought that 200 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: was such a such a clever thing. So anyway, what'd 201 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: you call about? My man? 202 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: Hey? I called you hit on a lot of things 203 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: that relate to what I do. I worked for the 204 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 3: nation's largest homebuilder, and you were talking about AI getting 205 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 3: rid of some d. 206 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: It's Lenar Lenar okay, all right. 207 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 3: Or at least for Houston. Yeah, And so like during COVID, 208 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 3: we had closings and we did them all remote as 209 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: much as possible because of COVID. Well, now that COVID 210 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: is over, we're still doing remote closings so that way 211 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 3: you don't have to have as large of an office 212 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: and staff and that kind of thing. It's all done 213 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: on your phone. So that's one thing that stayed, uh, 214 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: you know, kind of relating to what you mentioned with 215 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: A and companies that are profitable but then not as 216 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: many jobs. But the real thing that I don't quite 217 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: get is I get with interest rates people sitting on 218 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: the sidelines with resales. You know, I get that if 219 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 3: it's six and a half or seven or what have you. 220 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: But all these builders Leonar Horton, everybody else, like the 221 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: top twenty builders in the Greater Houston area, they're offering 222 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: four point nine nine to three point nine ninety six 223 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: the lenders paying it, yeah, and the lenders doing it. 224 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 3: So like homes that I was selling that were two 225 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: ninety five to three oh five, they're in the two 226 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: forties because lumber's cheaper. We're not paying seventeen hundred dollars 227 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 3: for a thousand board feet anymore. So our lumber costs 228 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: has come down dramatically. That was the biggest cost during COVID, 229 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 3: and we're still doing three point nine nine fixed. So 230 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: as a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars home at 231 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: three point nine nine to six is eighteen eighty at 232 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: six point twenty five. It's twenty one sixty one. And 233 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: I just you know, huge difference during COVID, that exact 234 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: same four plan. Yeah, that exact same floor plan during 235 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: COVID for two ninety five at a three point nine 236 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 3: nine rate was twenty two oh four. Now it's to 237 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: fifty at the set at same interest rate and it's 238 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: eighteen eighty. So we're over three hundred bucks cheaper than 239 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: we were during COVID at a three point nine nine rate. 240 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: But people are sitting around paying red And I'm going, dude, 241 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 3: as soon as as soon as it's herd mentality, as 242 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: soon as the race drop, you know, half the point 243 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: of what happen. Everybody's going around to buy the home. 244 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 3: They're gonna say, well, wait a minute, well it was 245 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand back in August or September, 246 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: Well why is it to seventy five now? You know 247 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: a lot of people have the door trying to buy. 248 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: Theseselves John, that's a very good point. You talk about 249 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: herd mentality. Everybody wants to buy buy a stock at 250 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: it's all time low, but they want to buy that 251 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: stock and it's all time low when it's just had 252 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: when it's just won the award and been named the 253 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: best most stable company in the world three years later. No, No, 254 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: the time to buy that was when it was on 255 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: the way down. And every it's at the trough and 256 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: everybody believes the company's going out of business. That's the 257 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: time to buy it. And then everybody then wants to 258 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: buy at the price that is the highest price that 259 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: stock's ever going to go. When the smart investor is saying, 260 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: I've had enough of the hype. I'm getting out. People 261 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: who make real money are going against the wind swimming upstream. 262 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: And I have seen that in every single industry, the 263 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: willingness to take a risk, the willingness to go again 264 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: because there's comfort in a crowd, right, And you see this, 265 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: and so when the articles say everybody's buying although nobody 266 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: is bought yet, then everybody will be buying. It becomes 267 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy.

Can't say enough about how good crews 278 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 4: and McCall's offices have been in responding to our questions 279 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 4: and concerns over this issue. Contrasts that to Senator Corner's office. 280 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 4: We've been trying to reach his office since early August, 281 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 4: both by email and phone call and no response. And 282 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: it's gotten to the point where I'm so pickheaded that 283 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 4: I pick up the phone at nine point thirty in 284 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 4: the morning and I start calling every office listed on 285 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 4: his website and get no response, and then I'll pick 286 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 4: it up, pick the phone up at two o'clock in 287 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 4: the afternoon and do the same thing. So an anything 288 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 4: that he says, any ads that he says that he 289 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 4: represents Texas and is he or for us and is 290 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 4: fighting for us and whatever he wants to say, yeah, 291 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: it's not true because nobody can reach his office, nobody 292 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 4: can talk to anybody in his staff. I don't even 293 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 4: know if he has a staff, because it goes straight 294 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 4: to voicemail, so that's it. 295 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: They're probably working on the campaign, which is illegal. John 296 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: Cornyn is such a complete and utter failure. It's it's 297 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: an embarrassment. It really is truly an embarrassment, and Republicans 298 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: have to own this. I've been asked by a number 299 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: of folks, do you think Lenna Hidalgo will even show 300 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: up a Commissioner's court Again. I wouldn't be shocked if 301 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: she doesn't. I wouldn't be shocked if she just chooses 302 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: to stop coming. I feel certain she'll stop coming before 303 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: the end of the term. And now I've got Democrats 304 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: reaching out to me to tell me how horrible she 305 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: is because they want to clear the way for their candidate. 306 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: She's not changed. Joe Biden didn't change, Mitch McConnell didn't change. 307 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: John Cornyn didn't change. These people weren't once great and 308 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: then they fell from grace. Lenna Hidalgo is no stupider 309 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: than she ever was, no more a child than she 310 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: ever was. Hell, she's had seven years on the job 311 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: now she actually understands the job better today than she 312 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: did when she took over. They brought you a girl 313 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: child that didn't know anything about anything and never learned 314 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: it and didn't have the disposition for it. She was 315 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: nuttier and squirrel turns, and she only got worse. And 316 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: they put together a campaign as as slick as P 317 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: Diddy's baby lotion, and they sold her to people as 318 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: somehow Hispanic girl Spanish language progress there.

It came in a can, 504 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 7: and sometimes you had a really good can opener that 505 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 7: you could use to get it open. Other times you 506 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 7: had to use the kind that was on the countertop.

Personally, I like to have more elbows space 522 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,959 Speaker 7: because I'm not planning on getting up and moving around 523 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 7: while I'm on the airplane there.
