So Buck Owens was backing what was 140 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: supposedly a world class guitarist at the time, and uh, 141 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: the owner of the club where they were playing said, 142 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, he walks in one day and uh, you know, 143 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: he says, hey, where's Bobby whatever the guy's name is. Oh, 144 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: You're going to be the lead singer tonight. And what 145 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: was happening was the band he was in about every 146 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: fifth song, the lead singer need to go pee or 147 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: flirt with the girls or get a drink, and he'd say, Buck, 148 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: you take this, and he'd sing just to buy some time. 149 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: And so the owner figured out, hey, he can sing 150 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: as well as the other guy. I don't. I'm just 151 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: trying to save some money. I feel you. 152 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: And so that was it, and then he kind of 153 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: took on from there. So Ramon wrote a little something 154 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: to our group, and I asked him if I could 155 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: have permission to read it out to y'all. It was 156 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: really kind of one of more of those more one 157 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: of those things that we write internally to think about 158 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: her perspective, and I'll read it as it's written. I 159 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: hope you didn't cuss in here, because I haven't finished 160 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Let me run a quick experiment on you. 161 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: Let's say you're flying out of Houston right now this 162 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: morning today. You live about an hour from the airport. 163 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: You drive to the airport, you part, you take the shuttle, 164 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: You wait in a TSA line that looks like a 165 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: Disney ride without the happiness. Four hours later, you finally 166 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: get through security. By the time you board the plane, 167 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: you've been traveling for over six hours and you haven't 168 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: moved an inch closer to your destination. Now add the flight, 169 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: then the landing, then baggage claim, then go to rental 170 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: car or find an uber. You're eight hours in eight hours. 171 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 2: So here's the question. 172 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: If you can drive somewhere in eight hours, why are 173 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: you flying? Because right now flying is really just driving, 174 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: except you're sitting down the whole time, paying more and 175 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: somehow less comfortable. 176 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: Let me put it to you this way. You could 177 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 2: leave Houston right now, drive to New Orleans. Oh, somebody 178 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 2: went to New Orleans last week and had a good time. 179 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: Check into your hotel, order a drink if you checked 180 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: into your hotel right now, or mom, what would you order? 181 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: Old fashioned? Not a sazarac? 182 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: You know, my wife treats about once a year, but 183 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: she will have a sazarac once a year. 184 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: She whether she needs it or not, she will. So 185 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: let me go back. 186 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: You could leave Houston right now to New Orleans. Check 187 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: the drive time right now to the mont lay on 188 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: five and a half. You can leave you some right now, 189 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: drive to New Orleans, check into your hotel, order a drink, 190 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: be halfway through dinner before your flight even boards. 191 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: And we're all just accepting this. So here's my new rule. 192 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: If it's under four hours, you drive four to six hours, 193 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: you probably drive six to eight. You start asking yourself 194 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: some hard questions about your life. Oh, is this the 195 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: moment where you tell us you have full self driving 196 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: and eight hours? Yeah, flying's faster, But at that point 197 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: you got to ask yourself, is it worth it to 198 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: save two hours just to spend them taking your shoes 199 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: off next to a stranger named Kevin? 200 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: Why does he gotta be named Kevin, Why did you 201 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: throw that even in there? 202 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: That's a creep on name. Oh that's nice. Four percent 203 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: of our audience are named Kevin. I don't know, but 204 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: I do know this BUCkies has never made me throw 205 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: away a bottle of water. You know, sometimes I think 206 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: about it, and I gotta be careful that I don't 207 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: just get down right depressed because I tried to keep 208 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: a good attitude, because I think you're about as happy 209 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: as you want to be. But when I was when 210 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: I think when I was a kid, we we had 211 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: to crank the window in the car to get air conditioning. 212 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: We rode around most of the time with sweat dripping 213 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: down our back. I remember our first round of cars. 214 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: We didn't have air conditioning. You cranked down the window 215 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: and the door when the door was so heavy that 216 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: when you closed it, you then had to turn and 217 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: put your little skinny butt my little butt was skinny 218 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: back then, and bump it again to make it hitch. 219 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: Gas was so expensive that if you needed to go somewhere, 220 00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: your mom would. 221 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: Say, I gotta burn my gas. 222 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: Now you don't think about that, but back then, you 223 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: think about all the things that you know. The Jetsons 224 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: was going to be our future. There is no doubt 225 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: in my mind at ninety percent of what we're living 226 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: is a step back, not forward. Now you can go 227 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: see Jeff witsit tomorrow. Seventy five years old. You got 228 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: one of those things that I have cataracts. He can 229 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: take that out and replace the lens or whatever, and 230 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: you walk out of there with perfect vision. All right, 231 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: that's huge. Your winer doesn't work. You're seventy five years old. 232 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: They got a pill you can take, or if you're 233 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, you watch war footage, or watch the guys 234 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, in their uniforms. If you lose in your hair, 235 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: we got somebody's advanced hair can do that. 236 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 4: You know. 237 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: There's some things like that. You don't have to go 238 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: to the doctor's office anymore. You can call catting him 239 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: on his cell or text him on his cell and 240 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: he can walk you through what you need. 241 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: Okay, there's that. Let's go through actual improvements from home. 242 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: Oh we got oh, we got people on I'm sorry 243 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: you didn't tell me we got people on home. 244 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: That was a good little piece. 245 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: She wrote that I know that what he's meant to 246 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: be for the public, just for us, but that was 247 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: very thoughtful. I went, well, donaway, he didn't all caps 248 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: old school okay, little radio copy. My mooved on the 249 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine. Joyce was not born in twenty nine. 250 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: She was born in thirty three. And here's what happened. 251 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: I took one hundred and took three years off of that, 252 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: and so I don't know why I did one hundred 253 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: and three years off of it. That was my logic, 254 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: and so that put me at nineteen twenty six. Three 255 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: years less was nineteen twenty nine. She was born in 256 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three. So yes, for those of you kind 257 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: enough to share with me my goof you're right. I 258 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: am hearing from the folks at Gringo's, Jimmy Chonga's, and 259 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: Federal American Grill that you have been dropping off cards, checks, 260 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: cash in an envelope closed please, with her name on 261 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: the outside, made payable to Joyce Smith for her ninety 262 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: third birthday. 263 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: You folks are too sweet. We appreciate you. 264 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: I will never touch the money, by the way, so 265 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: it'll either be RJ from the Black Line or someone else. 266 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: I am just careful when it comes to money like 267 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: that to never be in the chain of custody because 268 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: there will always be somebody that will accuse you of something, 269 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: and the further you can stay from it, my perspective, 270 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: the better off. 271 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: We got four calls, let's get to them fast, Dave, 272 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: you're up. 273 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 4: Go. 274 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, some of your average consumer who is fed up 275 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 7: with the excessive amount of find print that we're expected 276 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 7: to acknowledge that we fully understand online all the time 277 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 7: whenever you get into a business transaction. My last time 278 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 7: I did this recently, two hundred pages of fine print 279 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 7: to rent a car. So I was wondering if you 280 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 7: would be able to help assist me to push forward 281 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 7: a bill that requires businesses to review their own terms 282 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 7: and conditions with the consumer upon request by the consumer, 283 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 7: because I was denied my request for a review of 284 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 7: their terms of conditions to help me understand two hundred 285 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 7: pages of fine print. 286 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm not interested. I only have so much energy. 287 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: But let me say this, The marketplace works, It really does. 288 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: So I said for years that there's not a marketplace 289 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: for electric vehicles evs, there's not a market who was 290 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: there's not a marketplace for GM, Ford, Dodge and everybody 291 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: else to be Mercedes, Poors, to be making electric electric vehicles, 292 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: and people said, you're an idiot look at them, and 293 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: I said, those are government mandates. When the marketplace has 294 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: to decide, there will only be left Tesla. And there 295 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: would only be left Tesla. There is Rivian, which I 296 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: think makes a beautiful vehicle. By the way, I think 297 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: they're sue. I think if Tesla made a Rivian looking suv, 298 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: they'd kill it. But instead they make that hideous cyber 299 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: truck that romon. That thing gives me anxiety looking at it. 300 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: I feel like mister Roboto's playing in the background and 301 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: I've had enough sticks in my life. But I said, 302 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: the marketplace won't support it. The minute you took the 303 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: government mandates away and the subsidy of seventy five hundred 304 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: dollars per vehicle on September fourth of last year. Look 305 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: at what happened now the only people making it are 306 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: Tesla and riven A Slice, you know whatever. It is 307 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: three percent of consumers at wrmal electric vehicle. But the 308 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: people that buy the Chevy Silverado are not giving up 309 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: the Silverado to go buy an X or a cyber 310 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: truck or whatever. They're just not going to I think 311 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: when the marketplace says, and look, there is friction to 312 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: the process. 313 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: There has to be for it to work. If we 314 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: say I don't want all that boilerplate. 315 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: Language, but I don't want to argue about it, then 316 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: you're going to get the boilerplate language if it becomes 317 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: If the friction becomes so much that people say, can 318 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: we do a way with the boilerplate language? It's a 319 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: hassle and we've lost customers over it. The only way 320 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: it works, the only way you tell incumbents we will 321 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: not tolerate this anymore, is to vote for someone else. 322 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to vote for somebody else because I 323 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: don't really know who they are, at least the guy 324 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 1: that I know. Okay, then you don't want term limits. 325 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: You want to not have to make adult decisions because 326 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: you have infantilism. 327 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: It's the same thing here. 328 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: The answer is enough people have to stop renting or 329 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: stop doing business, or stop making a purchase. Well, I 330 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: have to. If you have to, then you're not a 331 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: consumer with any power.
