You people champions and all that. I 41 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: got confused when I'm out there. Nothing, nothing's on a 42 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: grid that you gotta you gotta you get on this 43 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: road because you think you're gonna get off the highway. 44 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: And it's like a highway with a traffic light every 45 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: sixty five feet. It's a that's the damnedest thing I've 46 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: ever seen. That's the worst road to be on, and 47 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: you don't want to get off of it because if 48 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: you get off of it, you're in Willobrook and you 49 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: get mugged at every corner. That whole area is just 50 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: whacked out. Anyway, I drive past this dairy queen and 51 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: it's bedraggled. You know. You see those hairless dogs. People 52 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: have those hairless dogs, you know I'm talking about, and 53 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: they just look so pitiful. It just got like a 54 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: string of hair here and a little string there. This thing, 55 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, when I see a dairy queen in the distance, 56 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: dairy queen is is like a beacon, you know, it's 57 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: it's beckoning you, which is where the word comes from, 58 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: to to stop in on it. You know, it's it's 59 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: it's an oasis in the desert. It's it's a reprieve. 60 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: You know. 61 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: You imagine a Lexus to Tokville and in eighteen thirty six, 62 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: driving or riding his horse around America to write about 63 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: this new land and these new people and what they're 64 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: like and their culture.

I will tell you 74 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: that there is something that dairy Queen does not do well, 75 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: and that is their French fries. And I don't really 76 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: understand why. I don't understand why. If you're dairy Queen, 77 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Warren Buffett. You know, he likes 78 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: to invest in things that he eats at himself. That's 79 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: a big thing. He can see it, touch it, feel it, 80 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: experience it. He knows if if the quality is going 81 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: down because he's visiting it, you know, brick and Mortars, 82 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: a seam. I just can't imagine you would take an 83 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: equity position, a majority equity position, in a company like 84 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: that that you love and not on the first day. 85 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: Go guys, I don't mind the French fries getting soggy 86 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: after three hours, but you're serving soggi French fries, and 87 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: I'll tell you who else and they should know better 88 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: does not serve good French fries, and they should know better. 89 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: McDonald's is the ultimate French fry, by the way I 90 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: give it. I don't like McDonalds. I don't eat a McDonalds. 91 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: But if I had, if I'm stuck and I have 92 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: to eat at McDonald's, gun to my head, I would 93 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: order a French fries and a coke because the French 94 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: fries are superior, and the coca superior. Waterburger solid French 95 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: fries probably the best, second best French fries. I don't 96 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: know about Burking. I don't even the burg King. I 97 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: haven't eaten at a burger King. And the last burger 98 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: King I ate in we were driving from Brussels to 99 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: Vienna across Germany, me Nanha and the boys, and there 100 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: was a burger King and Michael t or Croc and 101 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: said we had and we didn't drive all the way 102 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: to Europe to eat at burger Kinge And we did 103 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: and it was so bad. And I've kind of in 104 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: the back of my mind wondered since then if if 105 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: maybe they didn't give the full ingredient list to Germany, 106 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: or they gave them, you know, their their beefs not 107 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: grass fed, or if Burger King is just bad and 108 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: that one was equally inconsistently bad. You want to see 109 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the saddest fast food restaurant that probably you've ever seen 110 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: in your life. At the corner of Fondering and fifty nine, 111 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: on the south side of fifty nine, there is a 112 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: new Ish water Burger. Uncle Jerry and I used to 113 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: stop there on the way back from RCC and at 114 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: the back of the water Burger, kind of near the 115 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: trash dumpster and all that fronting the water Burger fronts 116 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: on fifty nine on Southwest Freeway. There is a Burger 117 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: King that fronts on Fondren and I'm pretty sure it's 118 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: like some Indian dude that you know, he came here 119 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: and he sold three convenience stores and he saved up 120 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: and he's like Burger King. It's oh, I hear, it's 121 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: his brandy. They was so excited. They gave it to 122 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: him for little or nothing, and he got it. And 123 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: we would be in the drive through at the Water 124 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: Burger ten cars deep at midnight and you look over 125 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: and there would be nobody at. 126 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: The Burger King. 127 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: I mean literally nobody. And they would always have some 128 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: big poster that they had put out on some special 129 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: they were doing, you know, on some new thing that 130 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: they were doing, the new chicken mcnickd and Ricking sandwich 131 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, and I just thought, I bet they haven't 132 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: sold one in a week. I don't know if they've 133 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: sold anything. I mean, you think about this. You're ten 134 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: cars deep at the Water Burger, and on the back 135 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: side of it, near the trash dumpster, is this sad, 136 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: lonely burger King and the employees are employees are probably 137 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: thinking I'd rather get I'd rather get robbed, did not 138 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: have anyone come in the whole day.

I think it was nineteen sixty because 141 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: it was just sad. 142 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: It was. 143 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: It was like, you know, like a like a Mangie Dodge, 144 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: just sad. 145 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 5: The lake lack a berry shop. 146 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: Jason Rose reminds us the Marine Corps began it's a 147 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: tackle on the Japanese held island of ewold G eighty 148 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: years ago. Today Sunday will mark the eightieth anniversary of 149 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: the famous flag raising on Mount Suribachi. My grandfather was 150 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: somewhere else in the Pacific aboard a troop transport when 151 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: this battle took place. The battleship Texas was also there, 152 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: and her fourteen inch guns helped pave the way for 153 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: the Marines to land. Never forget the greatest generation did 154 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: to preserve our way of life, simper fidelus. Thank you 155 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: for that, Jason. It's a very nice reminder. Indeed, there 156 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: is the black box from the BLA Blackhawk helicopter that 157 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: crashed over DC. The NTSB has dropped the black box 158 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: recordings and one account I follow under the name it's 159 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: Brian Murray who does it, but he posts under the 160 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: name Project Constitution Rights. It is a jaw dropper. Here's 161 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: what it tells us altitude chaos. The choppers altimeter was 162 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: off way off. Pilot read three hundred feet, instructors saw 163 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: four hundred, but the real number two hundred and seventy eight, 164 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: well well above the two hundred foot ceiling. You're not 165 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: supposed to fly that, huh. They were flying blind on 166 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: bad data, missed calls. Air traffic controls screamed passed behind 167 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: the jet, but the pilots didn't hear it. Their mic 168 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: was keyed at the worst moment, drowning out the warning. 169 00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: Seconds later, boom, last second panic. The Jets pilots tried 170 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: to pull up nose pitched just before impact. Too late. 171 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Let's see if I can find this. The Blackhawk crew 172 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: no clue what hit them until it did. Night vision 173 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: goggles they were wearing them, but did they obscure the 174 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: jets lights. Experts say it's possible they locked onto the 175 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: wrong target in DC's crowded skies. This wasn't just one mistake, 176 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: it was a cascade of failures. Sixty seven lives lost. 177 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: NTSB says a preliminary reports coming soon, but this black 178 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: box is already screaming. Something was seriously broken that night. 179 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: Also worth noting that we have details on the flight 180 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: in Toronto, where shockingly nobody was hurt. It looks like 181 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: I mean it. I've asked some pilots what they think, 182 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: and they're just blown away. They're blown away that the 183 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: people survived, and they're they're crawling out of a plane 184 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: that's landed on its roof. The lights are out, there's 185 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: a fire raging, and somehow nobody managed to get seriously hurt. 186 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: There was some injuries, but not to the extent you 187 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: would expect. Well, we now know, not surprisingly some details 188 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: about it. It was operated by a regional airline. It 189 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: has the Delta Moniker branding, but as you know, they 190 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: outsourced these things and what Endeavor Air was the regional 191 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: airline that was operating the plane, and according to their 192 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: TikTok account, they are fixated on promoting all female flights, 193 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: which they were referred to as quote unmanned flights. Oh 194 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: is it that a cute play on words? Isn't that 195 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: a cute play on words? Ramon, why don't we go 196 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: to their TikTok account and them bragging on all female 197 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: crews to fly girl. 198 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 6: Come on, leave the same of the world to the men. 199 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 200 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 5: I don't think this dast guy. 201 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 4: Your bad girls did it well, this dast guy. 202 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: Look no, no, we ain't given no vote. 203 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: Are you vooting? 204 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 4: You're with no vote? 205 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Baking apart? 206 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: You took aging on me. 207 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: It's all women doing dance trep teams like the goofy 208 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: nurses during COVID. You remember that little game I can't, 209 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: I can't. You turned off from us drum me crazy 210 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: because they can't see the video. If you saw the video, 211 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: it make you insane. You know, there are plenty of 212 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: women who are plenty good at plenty of things. But 213 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: these people who are so determined to push women into 214 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: positions when that woman is not qualified, all on the 215 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: basis that the noble goal will override training and performance. 216 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: This is how people die. This is how people lose 217 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: trust in airline safety or our military. This kind of 218 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: mindset is deadly and it's anti American when you put 219 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: people into positions that they have not earned and they 220 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: cannot perform on the basis that they have a whohu 221 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: on the basis that somehow that's going to make everybody happy, 222 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: failing to understand that the job is to command an 223 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: aircraft under difficult conditions. This is not an easy job, 224 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: and when all they're obsessed with is not having any 225 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: boys on it. Now that these DEI requirements have been 226 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: kicked out, they are more and more service members coming 227 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: forward and talking about how many women have been allowed 228 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: in and promoted in our military who were incapable of 229 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: passing certain elements of the tests required. Houston Police Department 230 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: was trying to they still do this to this day. 231 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: They were trying to promote the Sergeant's Exam and then 232 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: they had a captain promote and they they'll have a 233 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: process where they'll promote a certain number of people at 234 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: a certain time. And it was absolutely it was spoken 235 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: out loud, Hey, we need a black female, we need 236 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: we need to promote. Uh, we probably need to do 237 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: at least three black females for the Sergeant's exam, which 238 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: is done based on an actual exam, a written exam. 239 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: And we could argue, and I would argue, I would 240 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: argue this. We could argue that a written exam is 241 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: not a good way to determine who should be a 242 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: frontline supervisor. For patrol officers, the sergeant position is critically important. 243 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: That's like the lieutenant in a in a small fighting unit. 244 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: That is the lowest level of management to make snap 245 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: decisions of Voller. Yeah, uh, Mango, our officer that got 246 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: shot up a year or so ago, he was a sergeant. 247 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: But they're promoting on the basis of trying to get 248 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: more women, trying to that's that's a horrible life. 249 00:16:57,920 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 4: They're all duncans and you know means yo yo. 250 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you something. There might have been 251 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: a better TV show on, but I can't think what 252 00:17:49,920 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: it was. Dukes and Hazard's great. Listen, you know my 253 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: feelings about Dukes of Hazzard, But I mean for high drama. 254 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: Dallas Had You Hooked? 255 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: Man? 256 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: Started when I was eight, and it's probably the first 257 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: show I remember watching as a big boy with my mom, 258 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: like feeling like, you know, I get these I get it. 259 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm a big boy now I understand the point. Yeah, 260 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: you still don't remember who shot Jr. The thing is 261 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: that was the cliffhanger, one of the probably five most 262 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: important moments in television history. You got Bonsie jump in 263 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: the Shark, you got the who shot Jr. I don't 264 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: remember people talking about a TV show like that. That 265 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: was Network mind you. You know we didn't have cable. 266 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: Ask somebody if they remember who actually shot Jr. And 267 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: they'll say, Sue Ellen, huh, it might have been oh Jay, 268 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: you know that's actually all right. Let's see how much 269 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: you remember who played j R. Larry Hagman very good.

I dream of Jennie pants.

And that's 277 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: thirty five years. Yeah, she could go look it up. 278 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: We got an internet clary, but she doesn't.

She's very classy. 281 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: You talk about good casting man, the casting Jim Davis 282 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: as Jockying, I mean, Jock was perfect. He'd kind of 283 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: a Marlboro man, but he'd made some money because he 284 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: was an old business. 285 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 7: It was good. 286 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: It only won four Emmys.

All I wanted to know 303 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: was about Charlene Tilton, if you know what I mean, 304 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: I mean, if you know what I mean, somebody that 305 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: we know in common. I'm not going to tell you 306 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: his name because I'm not authorized. He might somehow view 307 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: it as insulting him, which it's not. But when I 308 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: first introduced him to Dan Pastorini, within thirty five seconds, 309 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: he asked him about Pharah Fawcett.

But I don't know why 331 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: women will tell me what we'll say, I fast forward 332 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: when they're on the screen.

It's 336 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: it's a bit much, But I don't feel like I 337 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: need to at a dinner party announce how upset I 338 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: am that these two characters and how slutty they are, 339 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: how they're constantly used. You know, as y'all don't realize, ladies, 340 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: how many good movies are have an element of them 341 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: that annoys us. Where you're going along and you got 342 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: a good ass movie going along. And then the outlaw 343 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Josie Welles has to have some love interest. At the end, 344 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: we're trying to shoot engines, I mean, a union rich 345 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: We're trying to kill red legs over here. We got 346 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: all out war going. We got the engines and our team, 347 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: and then we got the guy trying to sell us 348 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: the stuff.

Oh we got 352 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: to have a little love interest. Well, you know, we 353 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: don't fast forward through all that. We just suffer through it. 354 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: But anyway, I say all that because those two characters, 355 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: his wife and the daughter.

He was still alive, 422 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: I believe when we went on the air in New Orleans, 423 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: because when they gave him my first tour, we drove 424 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: past al Copeland's home. Everybody had a story about ow 425 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Da Martinez got. Everybody has a al Copeland story, one 426 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: way or another. Apparently he was quite the character in town. 427 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: But he claims that the restaurant was not named after 428 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: Popeye the Sailorman, but it was named after the gene 429 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: Hackman character in The French Connection, which, by the way, 430 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: if you have not seen the movie The French Connection 431 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: and you have Amazon Prime, go home and look up 432 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: The French Connection nineteen seventy one, and I'll give you 433 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: about five movies from that era that are all that 434 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: same style, very sparse, great drama, great action. And I'm 435 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: not even an action film guy. It's a wonderful movie. Anyway. 436 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: Al Copeland claimed that he named the restaurant after Popeye Doyle, 437 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: the character in the movie, which kind of checks out 438 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: because Popeye opens in seventy two and that film was 439 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: a big deal in seventy one. But he did. Al 440 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: Copeland did sponsor the Popeye and Pala's Children's show in 441 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: New Orleans when they got started, and he ended up 442 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: buying the rights to use Popeye the Sailor for their marketing, 443 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: and they would use that for thirty five years. It's 444 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: only recently that they've stopped doing that because it's so 445 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: darned identifiable.
