1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air. I would 3 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: leave that subject for a moment because I could go 4 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: on the entirety of the show. In my tone betrays 5 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: an actual anger that I have. It is an anger. 6 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: It feels like you're on a ball field with a 7 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: group of people who have decided it's fourth quarter, you're 8 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 2: down by ten points, only three minutes left, and they're 9 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: planning where they're going to go after the game. They 10 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: have given up and don't even realize it. We didn't 11 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: get to the point where we are in this country 12 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: overrun by illegal aliens, where Brown University is refusing to 13 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: release the video footage of the shooting, or the testimony 14 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: eyewitness testimony of individuals who saw the shooting of a 15 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: Jewish girl who was the head of the Republican party 16 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: on campus by a chubby shooter who sure looks a 17 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: lot like somebody who has been identified as a prime 18 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: suspect in the police chief lost his mind that you 19 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: should not say that when they did release the name 20 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: of a white male military veteran before that, when in 21 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: fact it's impossible that it could be him. Or what 22 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: about January sixth where good people went to prison. At 23 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: least one I know of committed suicide because his life 24 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: was ruined. People were banked, erupted for walking through the Capitol, 25 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: and you were told it was an insurrection to take 26 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: over the country. That Alexandria A Cassio Cortes feared for 27 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: her life because they were beating at the door and 28 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: they were saying they were going to rape her. It 29 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: turned out she was three blocks away and never in 30 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: a moment's jeopardy. Or how about the fact that the 31 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 2: fellow who put his boots up on Nancy Pelosi's desk, 32 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 2: apparently a crime most foul in our republic, did more 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,839 Speaker 2: time than the people who burned down Minneapolis after Saint 34 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose. And what of fentanyl? 35 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: What of this dangerous drug that obviously between heroin and 36 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: other drugs, Nick Reyner, if not was the trigger, was 37 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: the problem altogether? What of the president who's literally gone 38 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: to war to stop that product from arriving on our 39 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: shores and had nothing but insult because of it. What 40 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: if Rob Reiner had been assaulted and murdered by your 41 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: average street corner thug who'd been released five, ten fifty 42 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: times for violent crimes before violent crimes that Donald Trump 43 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: has worked hard despite Democrats working against him to stop. 44 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: Would we still blame Trump? Would we still blame Trump? 45 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: I lapsed back into it, Ramon. I lapsed back into 46 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 2: it because this is probably more important than anything else 47 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: we would talk about, and that is whether we have 48 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: the fire in the belly to save this country. And 49 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm not much of a defeatist, but I will tell 50 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: you most people do not. Most people think you're going 51 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: to save this country politely overwastle at the Christmas party, 52 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: looking both directions and going I voted for Trump. Now, 53 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: some of the stuff he says civility. What is civility. 54 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: Civility is talking nicely and wearing your tie properly and 55 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: having your hair cut nice and short, and no tattoos 56 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: that are visible to the public. That's civility. All the 57 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: while our republic is crumbling, but do so nicely. That's 58 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: what the left is so good at, looking you right 59 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: in the eye and using the nicest of terms. I 60 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: saw James Talerico was speaking at some sort of church yesterday, 61 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: this white liberal monster, and he was saying, God does 62 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: not make you hate people. Loving God does not mean 63 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: turning away your neighbor who comes to you for help. 64 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: Loving God does not mean this and loving that. Loving 65 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: God does not mean butchering a baby inside a woman's 66 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: womb either. But it hasn't stopped you, has it, James. 67 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: And when you are whipped by a black woman who's 68 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: going to mop the floor with you, who decided at 69 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: the last minute to get in after you had wired 70 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: this thing and even pushed Colin Alred out because he 71 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: didn't want a bruising campaign, well we'll see how you 72 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: feel at that point, which brings us to the split 73 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: within the Democrat Party today. On the state level. We 74 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: now know that Jasmine Crockett was working very, very diligently, 75 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: Dallas Morning News reports, days before launching her campaign to 76 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: develop a slate of Democrat candidates to run with her 77 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 2: in the midterms. Fellow Democrats who were already running, she 78 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 2: tried to push them out and have them join her ticket, 79 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 2: which is exactly what week Colin Alred did. Dallas Morning 80 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: News reports. Crockett and other Democrats theorize running their best 81 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 2: Democrats in races up and down the ballot, particularly in 82 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: statewide races for governor, Lieutenant governor, Attorney General, and comptroller, 83 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: improves their chances to break through. Crockett's challenge was convincing 84 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: fellow Democrats to put aside campaigns already in motion as 85 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: the deadline to file candidacies for the March third primaries 86 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: fast approached. Her effort failed. Former Congressman Colin Allred dropped 87 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: out of the Democrat Senate race and opted to run 88 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: in Dallas County anchored Congressional District thirty three, setting up 89 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: a clash with Congressman Julie Johnson, a farmer's branch who 90 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: had already filed her candidacy, but there were others who filed. 91 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: We learned this week that she visited revisited the church 92 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: she had attended while she was at the University of 93 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: Houston Law Center. And who would be by her side 94 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: but the Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall, Harris County, Rodney Ellis, 95 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: because you see, Rodney Ellis wants to own the Senator. 96 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: More importantly, Rodney Ellis wants to own Harris County. He 97 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: hasn't quite consolidated all of the power. He's got to 98 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: get Whitmyer out. But believe me, he's working very hard 99 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: behind the scenes to do that. And that is why 100 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party censured John Whitmyer this week. They censured him. 101 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: They will no longer endorse him. Well, he's he's not 102 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,119 Speaker 2: up for election anytime soon. Well, would never endorse him again. 103 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: We mean it, okay, but he didn't need your endorsement 104 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: right now. We're not gonna know, okay, Well, how about 105 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: you just decide you're not gonna when the time would 106 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: come to endorse him, which would be quite some time 107 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: from now. I don't know. We're not gonna endorse him 108 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: because we're trying to induce another candidate to get into 109 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: the race against Whipmyer. Because Whitmyer and Rodney Ellis hate, 110 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: and I mean hate. You have no idea Donald Trump 111 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: doesn't hate Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner doesn't hate Donald Trump 112 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: as much as Rodney Ellis and John Whitmyer hate each other. 113 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: If we have time today, I'll get to you. I'll 114 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: explain some of the background behind that. But it is rancors. 115 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: It is nasty, it is vicious. Whitmeyer had mostly let 116 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: it go. Rodney Ellis is not. It has now spilled 117 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: over into the eighteenth Congressional district, and it hasilled spilled 118 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: over into Looneylena dot Common, Dante and Anice Porker, and 119 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: Looney Lena says there's another candidate about to get into 120 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: the Democrat County judge race. It's going to be fun 121 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: to watch them tear each other. Apart to Michael Arry 122 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: Show simple Man, please welcome our newest show sponsor. They 123 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: will begin in the new year, in January. We are 124 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: delighted to have them on. Some of you will remember 125 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: while back I interviewed an entrepreneur by the name of 126 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: Darren Randall. It started a company called Houston Tents and Events, 127 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: which their website is Houston Tentsevents dot com. And we 128 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: talked about his business and he had started a side 129 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: business because it kept coming up where they do the 130 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: toilets that they bring out for your party. You've got 131 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: an outdoor party, pasture party, or whatever they do, those 132 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: fancy toilets that you kind of wish you had one 133 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: at your house for an extra in the backyard. But 134 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: his primary business is Houston Tents and Events and working 135 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: his butt off to build it up, and it's it's 136 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 2: like everything else it's a tough business. But he was 137 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: starting to make some headway and he said, you know, 138 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: when I get our numbers up to a certain point, 139 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to sponsor the show. And I said, to 140 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: which I always say, if you're waiting on financial success 141 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: to pay for marketing, you're going about it the wrong way. 142 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: If you're good at what you do and you can 143 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: handle the upside, marketing brings in more business, marketing is 144 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: not a charitable donation. I tell people this all the time. 145 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: Don't sponsor our show. We actually have some folks who 146 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: do this, but don't sponsor our show just because you 147 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: love what we do and think it's important that we 148 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 2: do it, and you understand there's a business model behind it. 149 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: This is an opportunity for you to get to talk 150 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: to our listeners who everyone in every business that sponsors 151 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: our show will tell you their best customers. Their best 152 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: customers are going to come from our listeners. The restaurants 153 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: will tell you that those are the people who come in, 154 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: don't complain about everything, don't send the food back supposedly 155 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: with the hair in it, nine tenths eating and they 156 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: need another one so they can down that one. Don't 157 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: skip their bill, criticize everything, the kind of people. It's 158 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: got a nice email on Lewis Florey, somebody that Lewis 159 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: Floyd visited yesterday and she sent a nice message that 160 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: Lewis had come out and they'd sat there and chatted 161 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: for an hour about what's going on in the country 162 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: and her trees and what needed to be done.

That's the nature of the top guy, 186 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: and they're going to make sure because of it. Mike 187 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: BATCHI said lone star Chevy was saying that he is 188 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: spending an increasing amount of his time actually on deals 189 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 2: themselves because our listeners will be looking for a bit. 190 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: He just found a two thousand and eight Jaguar XJ 191 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: six with low miles, which you can't find because one 192 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: of our listeners said, Hey, I know you're a Chevy dealer, 193 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: but can you find me that vehicle? And he said, 194 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 2: I asked him if he was how serious he was 195 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: about it, and he was serious. He found the vehicle 196 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, took him two weeks to get it down 197 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: here and the deal was done. Well, if I'm Sonic 198 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: that owns that dealership, I don't want my general manager 199 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: spending that much time on a deal. But he gets 200 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 2: caught up and then he loves our show. He loves 201 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: what we do, and he loves our listeners, and he 202 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: does that. In any case, this time of year is 203 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 2: a great time of year. It's a festive time. We're 204 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 2: kind of blowing out the end of the year. You're 205 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: having more drinks than the usual or being more social 206 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: than usual. Please take an ober. I don't want one 207 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: of you to get in trouble and ruin your life. 208 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: I've seen it happen too many times. And be responsible 209 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: when you go to the party. I hate to be 210 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: the buzzkill, but I've watched too many people, too many 211 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: people ruin their careers at the Christmas party. It happens 212 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: all too often. And it's always Steve in accounting, who's 213 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: the nicest guy in the whole company, never does anything wrong, 214 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: shows up, has for years, and he gets a few 215 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: drinks in him and starts making snow angels, and before 216 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: you know it, he's dry humping the CEO's wife behind 217 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: the drummer over to the side. Just don't do it. 218 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: Please know your limits. I've watched it happen too many 219 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: times too many times. I started life at a law 220 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 2: firm called Jenkins and Go Chris, and we had a woman, 221 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: older black woman, and she was the boss. She was 222 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: like wheezy in good times. She had that same voice, 223 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: same imperious tone. Nobody ever questioned her for anything. And 224 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: she came in the morning after the company Christmas party 225 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 2: that was in the company offices, and she found a 226 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: trail of a woman's clothes and his clothes from when 227 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 2: you got off the elevator to the conference room. And 228 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 2: apparently they had walked out like everybody else, both married 229 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: to other people, and come back up godall and they're 230 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: stripping off like in the movies as they made it 231 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: to the conference room. And she gets to the conference 232 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: room and there they are laid out on the conference 233 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: room table, having fallen asleep after a passionate rolic and 234 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: a lot of booze. Needless to say, they lost their jobs. 235 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: It wasn't pretty. But at the end of the year, 236 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: as you start thinking about the new year and your 237 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: health and wellness, whether it's your hair or your eyes. 238 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: I'm having an eye surgery in January. I'm pretty excited 239 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: about it. I didn't want to have it done before 240 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: the Christmas break. I didn't. I had some things coming 241 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: up on to get done. And then I'll have you know, Ramona, 242 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: I'm having I'm having cosmetics surgery. Full disclosure. I'm having 243 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: my eyebrow reattached. I'm having it drop down so I 244 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: won't have that furrowed eyebrow at all times. And before 245 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: you think I'm vain, first of all, I am to 246 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: start with I am vain. And number two, I won't 247 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: have to wear glasses anymore, so my eyebrow will be 248 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: more prominent. And I'm going to have that eyebrow drop down. 249 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: In there. I might have a little work done on 250 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: the crow's feet. I don't know. I'm not opposed to it. 251 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: I earned these wrinkles, but you know, you know I 252 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: have to have all of them, you know. I mean, 253 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: long as you don't go completely don't like that out, 254 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: I think you can, huh. I'll tell you what I 255 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: am going to have done. And I told Jeff Witstt 256 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: that he doesn't do this. My brother had it, my 257 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: mom had it. We have these heavy eyelids, and so 258 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: when I take a photo, I do the shocked look. 259 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: You don't notice it because I always do it, but 260 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: I'm happy to get rid of that. Also, your financial 261 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: good health. You need a CPA, you need a financial LIVI. 262 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: These are all things you can start thinking about. Let's 263 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: get those relationships in place to start twenty twenty six right. 264 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: I would love to help you with that stuff. It's 265 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: a good feeling to get your house in order, physically, fiscally, 266 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: all of it. Buddy of mine got in trouble with 267 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: his wife. She asked how he looked before a party, 268 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: and he said, your eyebrows are drawn on too high. 269 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: She looked, surprised. 270 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: The moon. 271 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: If you have seven pairs in one hand and ten 272 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: in the other, what do you have giant hands? Rand 273 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: of mine gave up his career as a farmer. I said, 274 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: why did you give up your career as a farmer? 275 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: He said, he chose the wrong field, and chose the 276 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: wrong Fielding SCUBA is an acronym for self contained underwater 277 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: breathing apparatus. Tuba little known fact is an acronym for 278 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 2: terrible underwater breathing apparatus. Prepare yourself because we will begin 279 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 2: and I truly believe statement segment in the next segment, 280 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 2: But first I need to catch you up on what's 281 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: going on in Democrat politics, and it goes like this. 282 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: So Lena hid Allgo was politely informed against her wishes 283 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 2: that you will not be running for re election. A 284 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: nice porker started building her coalition. A niece is a 285 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: very smart lady. I spent two years of my six 286 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: years on city council sitting next to her. A niece 287 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 2: will sell her best friend down the river for her 288 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: own advancement. She is insanely ambitious and insanely transactional. Nothing 289 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: is sacred to a niece. That being said, that's what 290 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: makes her dangerous. It's what made Bill White dangerous. It's 291 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 2: what made Joe Biden dangerous. If they actually did what 292 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: they believe, you could tolerate them. It's what makes Bill 293 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: Clinton dangerous. The white liberal, tactically sound, strategic minded, very 294 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: ambitious politician is extremely dangerous. That being said, she's also 295 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: very very smart. Aniceporker started running for city council in 296 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 2: I think ninety five. She lost, then she came back 297 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: and won. She was the first openly lesbian city council 298 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 2: in the city of Houston. Not an easy thing to 299 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 2: pull off. She defeated Reverend Jimmy Dixon, who was a 300 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: semester turner acolyte, well known in the black community. She 301 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: defeated a Republican. She went on to be the controller 302 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: and then she went from there to be the mayor. 303 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: Not an easy thing to pull off. She did it. 304 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: She's clever, she's Wilie, and she started building the coalition. 305 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: She has a strategist, a guy named Grant Martin. Grant 306 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: Martin came out of gay coalition politics. Beware people who 307 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 2: do that because they're very, very smart. And the reason 308 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 2: is you start an election with more people against you 309 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 2: than for you because you're gay. Grant Martin is very 310 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: very smart. I didn't know he was still around. She 311 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: was the only candidate I ever knew of that he had. 312 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: But he is absent, absolutely brilliant. The man is very 313 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: very good at getting to fifty one percent of the 314 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: vote using public policy, getting people who might be creeped 315 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: out by gaytom or freaked out or prejudiced or biased 316 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: or whatever else of gay people to vote for a 317 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: gay person. It is not an asset to be gay 318 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: in Harris County. It's not. People can think it is 319 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: because when you see someone who's gay, or you see 320 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: someone who's transgender or whatever that is. It feels like 321 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: they're getting all the advantages. That is not true. It 322 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: is a tougher hill to climb because for everybody gay 323 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: who's going to vote for you because you're gay, there 324 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: are lots of people who won't vote for you because 325 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 2: you're gay and they're gay. And there are a whole 326 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 2: lot of people who won't vote for you because you're 327 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: gay because they are Evangelical Christian. So you've got to 328 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: win the race. Despite that. Being black in the city 329 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: of Houston is actually an advantage because you could have 330 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: upwards of forty percent of the electric vote that are black, 331 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: and unlike gays, blacks vote in block you can get 332 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: over ninety percent of the vote, so you can lock up. 333 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: Out of forty percent of the vote, you can already 334 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: be at thirty six percent, which means you've got to 335 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: get to fourteen percent out of the remaining sixty percent, 336 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 2: that's about a quarter of the vote. You've got a 337 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: number of white liberals who will vote for a black 338 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: over a white just to prove to themselves they're not racist. 339 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: Trust me, that happens. So being black in the city 340 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 2: of Houston is an Asset County wide and Harris County 341 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: is still not still not. But we will see. Now, 342 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: Lena had aalgo, wanted to run for reelection. She has 343 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: nothing else to do. She's like Richard gear and officer 344 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: and gentlemen. She's got nowhere else to go, nothing else 345 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: to do. Nobody wants to hire her. He's been in 346 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: the looney bin a number of times. Even her nerdy 347 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: husband finally had to say enough and cut her loose. 348 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 2: So she goes on an unhinged rant that she will 349 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 2: not be supporting an East porker. Well it just so happens. 350 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 2: That was three days after another unhinged rant where she 351 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 2: called on the Democrat party to support a resolution condemning 352 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: John Whitmyer for allowing the Houston Police Department to cooperate 353 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: with federal authorities serving ice warrants. See what's being played 354 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 2: out here is sides are being picked. Rodney ellis over here. 355 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: Rodney has told Lena that he will take care of her. 356 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: Do you continue to do what I say? 357 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: No? 358 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 2: I didn't let you run for reelection because we can't steal. 359 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: Here's the problem. Democrats could steal the general election, and 360 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: they did against Alex Meeler. They stole that election. They 361 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: didn't send ballots out to the West Side on election day, 362 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: so thousands and thousands and thousands of people didn't get 363 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: to vote. It was enough to win the election. They 364 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: know exactly what they're doing, and that's what they did. 365 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: Remember he put Clifford Tatum in there after they had 366 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: put Chas Bono in there, and Chas Bono rigged the primary. 367 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 2: She rigged the primary so bad that the Democrats demanded 368 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 2: that she be kicked out because Rodney had rigged the primary, 369 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: remember that, and they paid her out as if she 370 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: had been a long term employee. She was brought in 371 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: to rig the primary for Rodney's candidates. Rodney doesn't just 372 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: rig the election on election day for the general election, 373 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: he rigs the primary too. He has been slowly but 374 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 2: surely replacing the white Democrat judges with black women judges. 375 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: They call it Black Girl Magic BGM. There's articles written 376 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,239 Speaker 2: about it. NPR covered it nationally. And these women one 377 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 2: I'm a real estate agent who had never practiced law before, 378 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: much less been inside a courtroom, and they owe everything 379 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 2: to the godfather. That's Rodney. What he has pulled off 380 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: is nothing short of amazing, absolutely amazing. He has complete 381 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: dominance over the Harris County Judiciary. Criminal and cibyl he 382 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: had complete dominance, are close enough of the Harris County 383 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 2: Commissioner's Court, but Leslie Brionis has been bucking him of late. 384 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: Adrian garcia Will used to do what he wanted to do, 385 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: but I think Adrian is angling for himself now and 386 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 2: has realized that Rodney's going to drag him down, if 387 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: not to court, to prison. So you've got Rodney over 388 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: here against Whitmyer, and they've got their candidate. They won't 389 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: say who it is yet, but it's not Lena, and 390 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: they're against Anee Porker, who's kind of lined up now 391 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: with Whitmyer and the more conservative white candidates in the 392 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: gay candidates. 393 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: And you are about to see a cat fight, and 394 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Everyone listens to Michael Berry Show. 395 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Barker was in town when I came. He wrote 396 00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: that song. 397 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: And a number of other songs that you would recognize, 398 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 2: and he's a great songwriter. He started, like many guys, 399 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 2: as a singer songwriter, but he figured out that he 400 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: wasn't blessed with a George, George Strait, Tracy Bird, Mark 401 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: Chestnutt Voice, and he focused primarily on writing songs, and 402 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 2: I suspect he's made a small fortune on that. And 403 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: he and another famous singer songwriter who are known as 404 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 2: primarily songwriters, we're going to be in town. And he 405 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: sent an email and said, hey, we listened to you 406 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: at Nashville and if you're around, we'd love to grab 407 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 2: a cup of coffee. Absolutely, so we did, and I said, well, 408 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 2: how about you come into the studio because if I 409 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 2: do something on my own, it's not really that important. 410 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: It's like, why you got to take a photo to 411 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 2: show your friends. I'd rather just have you on the 412 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 2: air and let's have the same conversation we're going to have, 413 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: but let's share it with a lot of people. So 414 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 2: he did the show, and I set up to have 415 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 2: a house full of people at my home that night 416 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: and for him to perform, so no band, no nothing, 417 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 2: just an acoustic guitar. And I said, just tell the 418 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: stories before you play the song, because people don't know 419 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: you wrote that song. But there's something special to me 420 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: to hearing the poet who wrote the song that means 421 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: so much to you because George Strait didn't. And George Strait, 422 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: especially in his own way, he brings his own feel 423 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: to his own emotion to things. But there's something to 424 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: be said about the guy who wrote it and lived 425 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 2: it and felt it and put pen to paper, and 426 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: now that song will exist forever, and it didn't before that. 427 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: And so he does a little show there in front 428 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 2: of everybody, and I had to kick a few people 429 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: out because some people are incapable of being quiet while 430 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 2: someone is at the mic, and it drives me nuts. 431 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: So I just say, I don't care how good a 432 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 2: friend you are, get out and go outside. They can't 433 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 2: help themselves. But that's another point for another day. Maybe 434 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: somebody in the future will be quite when we're having 435 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: an event because they've heard me say that. So anyway, 436 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: I asked him to leave the Bluebell Song for the end, 437 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: because it's probably the only time you've ever heard Aaron 438 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 2: Barker sing. You've just heard his words so many times. 439 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: And he said, well, Michael asked me to leave this 440 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: last one for last. And maybe it's because we're in Texas, 441 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: and maybe it's because he loves Bluebelt, and maybe it's 442 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: because the only time you've ever actually heard my voice, 443 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: even though you know all my songs, and so I'd 444 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 2: like to do it for y'all now, and if you would, 445 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: I'd like you to sing along. And it was just 446 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 2: one of those moments. I'm glad nobody pulled their lighters 447 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 2: out because we were in my living room, but it 448 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: was one of those moments. It's just one of those 449 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 2: you're kind of you got chill bumps. It's so silly 450 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: and so absurd and so kitchy and corny, but it 451 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: was fantastic. If your chance will Plain or Sean Welling 452 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: and you make movies or commercials or whatever, there's something 453 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: called storybooking, I believe that's the term. And they'll take 454 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: these boards like a poster board, and they will create 455 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: like a graphic novel. They will create blocks of all right, 456 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 2: we're going to go from this scene, and we're gonna 457 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 2: cut to this scene. And they lay out to the side, 458 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: all right, what are we doing here? Well, we're first 459 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: establishing the scene. We're in small rural Texas. Anywheresville, Texas. 460 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: Everyone should identify. There's a house off a red dirt road. 461 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 2: There's a little girl coming off the steps. It's nostalgic, 462 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 2: but it's not ancient history. It could be our own childhood. 463 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 2: And she's running down the steps as an old truck 464 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: comes up the road, but it's not the era of 465 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: that old truck. It's Grandpa driving a truck maybe that 466 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 2: he's on for forty years. And the dust is coming 467 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 2: up as he heads down the red dirt road toward her, 468 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 2: and she knows the sound of that gravel. And then 469 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: the dog comes from around the side, because you've got 470 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: to have the dog's old yeller. It's Americana, and she's 471 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: running toward him in her arms outstretched, and he gets 472 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: out with that knowing smile of that's my baby girl. 473 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: And so there's this very emotional scene, and you know, 474 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: you storybook this whole thing out. That song paints that 475 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: picture so perfectly that if you've never seen the TV commercial, 476 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: you don't need to. Just even the way the music 477 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: is this sort of lofty music floats started again. Just 478 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 2: listen to this lofty it's kind of an old fashion 479 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 2: and no modern musical instrumentation could have been created in 480 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: nineteen forty two. It's just perfect. That's what is just perfect, 481 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 2: and it's exactly what you want if you're Bluebell. Now 482 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: let's leave a side that they need to stop these 483 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: stupid new flavors. You need homemade vanilla, and at Christmas 484 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: time you can do pistachio almond. And that's about it. 485 00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: That's all you need. You don't need to do all 486 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: other stuff. It's all of that stuff is a distraction 487 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: from what's important.
