1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 1: Michael Varie Show is on the air. So I've been 3 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: I've reached that point in my life the entire time. 4 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: When I came to Houston, starting in nineteen eighty nine, 5 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: I always lived inside the loop, and my wife and 6 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: I were confirmed interlopers, and we always thought, well, so 7 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: if you get outside the loop, there aren't any good restaurants. 8 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: There isn't we'll never live outside the loop. So then 9 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: we move outside the loop. And now I never go 10 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: back inside Loop sixtent except when I go to get 11 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: my synergenetics testosterone shot and when I go for my 12 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: allergy shot, and I do that at the same time, 13 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: both of which have made a huge difference for me. 14 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: My allergist was first my wife's allergist, and I noticed 15 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: that her allergy is absolutely cleared up after going to 16 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: this guy, Chris Colosso is his name. I think it's 17 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: called advanced asthma. If you email me, I'll send you 18 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: a link to it. It's on not the NARC It's 19 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: it's on Stella Link, a couple of blocks south of 20 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: bel Air slash HOLCM. It's where Stella Link first becomes 21 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: Stella link from Wesleyan and it's right there on the right, 22 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: and I forget. I mean it's called Advanced Asthma and 23 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: Allergies or something like that. The guy's name is Chris 24 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: Colosso co l Aco, great doctor, and I've had incredible 25 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: relief from going to this guy. He's not a show sponsor. 26 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: He should be, but he's not. We'll fix that. I 27 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: will also say they're also not show sponsors. But I've 28 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: had our company send an email to their marketing team 29 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: nationally navage. I had Mary Taly Boden on months ago, 30 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: and actually this was an interview probably a couple of 31 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: years ago, and she's that's her specialty and she recommended 32 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: which I kind of felt stupid because my wife does 33 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: this every day. Why didn't I just I didn't need 34 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: her to tell me? And then here she was telling me, 35 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: and I'm kind of feeling convicted because my wife does it, 36 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: and that is a nasal wrens. Well, my allergies pushes 37 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: a nasal rents. Mary Tally Bowden believes in a nasal 38 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: rents and that's she looks at people's snot all day, 39 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: she knows she knows it anyway, So if I do 40 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: something I have to do at first class, I can't 41 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: do it, you know, base my wife will you know, 42 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: figure out a way to do it for no money 43 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: or find a scrap around the house. But oh no, no, 44 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: not me. I got to go buy the biggest, baddest 45 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: best at something and use it and do it away. 46 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: So uh. I asked her about the navage. I asked 47 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: Mary Tally Boden, and she said, well, I've never actually 48 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: used it, but people seem to like it. So I 49 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: bought it. I loved it so much. I bought my 50 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: body the Aggie Plumber one. I bought my wife one. 51 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: It is the best thing ever. And I'm gonna tell 52 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: you why. I sold Rainbow vacuum cleaners along with Scott Freeland. 53 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: I was really his assistant, but I told her around 54 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: the stuff. But he was a mentor of mine. He's 55 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: the one I traveled around and he was a revival 56 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: preacher and he'd let me get up and preach and 57 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: when the sales pitch. If you ever housewives, if you 58 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: ever got pitched on the on the Rainbow vacumpleaning dre 59 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: someone or more, all you had to do is run 60 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: it over the carpet where there's all sorts of crap 61 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: in there anyway, and when stuff hits the water, it 62 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: looks really dirty. Oh I want this right now. You 63 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: got any encyclopedias to sell me too. So it's the 64 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: same concept. You put a little tab in there, which 65 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: is the salt, and then you've got distilled water, and 66 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: you put the two nozzles into your nose and you 67 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: hit the button and the one, let's say it starts 68 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: in your left nostril. You suck a seal on there. 69 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: You suck a little seal on there like that, and 70 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: then it goes up and it goes around, and then 71 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: it comes down and it's pushing whatever's in there, and 72 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: that salt is pulling it when it goes through there. 73 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: And then you got a little bit coming out of 74 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: your mouth. You just spit that out and then at 75 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: the end and then you do it for a lit 76 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: while and then you flip it and then it goes 77 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: to the opposite direction. Oh, it's great fun. And when it 78 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: gets a good seal on there, you can feel the 79 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: snot moving, and that's not should not be in there. 80 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: You don't want that. And I've had congestion facial congestion 81 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: my entire life. So it's just you just all of 82 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: a sudden, you can breathe. It's wonderful. So anyway, the 83 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: navage is fantastic. I highly highly encourage you to get one. 84 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: Not again, not a sponsor should be. So when I 85 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: go into town, we go to I go get my 86 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: allergy shot, and then I go by the Synergenics on 87 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: fifty nine. Michelle is the I don't know what they 88 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: call them there. The director of that facility yesterday was 89 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: my blood dripped my blood day. And when you got 90 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: good veins, I got good veins again. I got bad ankles, 91 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: but good veins. So my mother, bless her heart, my 92 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: mother had horrible veins, so when she'd go to get blood, 93 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: it was always just a big to do because they 94 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: couldn't get one. But for me, they always brag on 95 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: my veins, which makes me real happy. It's like I've 96 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: done something like oh you have good vein. Ah, like 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: I did something. Anyway, So I do my blood panels 98 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: once a month. Yes, it's obsessive, but I'm a big 99 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: believer that if you have a good, steady basis baseline 100 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: of all your numbers, then if anything spikes, you can 101 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: catch it early. So anyway, so I did my blood 102 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: and then we went to dinner at a place called 103 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: Mari soul Chin wah Chi n Oi x. And this 104 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: place is owned by Alberto Lombardi, who owns Toulouse, and 105 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: it's right next door to Brassery nineteen on West Gray. 106 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: That little area has become a nice I used to 107 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: just be Brassery nineteen. Now you've got some more restaurants 108 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: around there. So Alberto is a fascinating, fascinating character. He 109 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: was an Italian stowaway on a ship. He hopped on 110 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: a ship illegally, rode around the country, learned to cook 111 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: on that two years of being a stowaway, came out 112 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: and started restaurants and he's been very successful in Dallas 113 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: and very successful in Houston. And he did a Chinese 114 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: restaurant and it's white people Chinese, so you know they're 115 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: not gonna be monkey brains or weird feed or any 116 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: of that. But it's good. It's really good. It's a 117 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: nice environment. You can get drinks at Brassery nineteen, right 118 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: next door Charles Clark's Restaurants. War That's always been our 119 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: favorite restaurant in town. And so there's about five restaurants 120 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: we eat at Gringoes, Federal American, brast Roy nineteen Okay, 121 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: maybe three, oh Carabas. Anyway, it is fantastic. I highly 122 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: recommend it. They just opened, but it's incredible, and they 123 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: got me to thinking white people Chinese has not done 124 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: well here because you remember ben Berg had Benny Chaws. 125 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: Did you ever read there? It was incredible and it 126 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: went on. I don't know what happened. It was the 127 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: same kind of and all that fantastic food. I don't 128 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: know what happened. I wouldn't have known that was Dave Matthews, 129 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: but I knew. I recognized the voices. I just couldn't. 130 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have said Dave Man. I would not have 131 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: guessed Jack Johnson to start it. You know, there's there's 132 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: a there's a podcast that Chance McClain got me hooked 133 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: on called Founders, and it's about people and personalities that 134 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: break out for the mold, that create new and unique things. 135 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Elon is this way, Trump is this way, and there 136 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: is no standard template for what they do. And Buffett 137 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: is the source of an episode and they wouldn't play 138 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: him on the radio because he didn't fit into a genre, 139 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: which is just crazy, right, But that's radio had a 140 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: great deal of power as to what kind of music 141 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: was made, because that's the kind of music that was played. 142 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: But Buffett never, He just kept touring. He just kept 143 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: building this very loyal following, if you think about it, 144 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: the parrot Head brigade that followed him, this cult that 145 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: followed him. I think he had a cult on a 146 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: level for a length of time that you know, only 147 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: maybe the grateful Dead would have. I said that on 148 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: the fly. Who am I missing? Who had a cult 149 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: for that many years? That was that deep. Elvis didn't 150 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: live long enough, The Beatles didn't stay together long enough. 151 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: Instant clown possy. Okay, I didn't see that coming. 152 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 2: But yes, okay, okay, all right, anybody else, anybody else 153 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: you'd like to bring up since we're on the sub cheet. 154 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: Friend of mine wrote me a letter. He lives in Katie. 155 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: I got a letter from my mud district yesterday informing 156 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: me that I've used more water than other users in 157 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: my area. Well, I can I already tell how this 158 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: is going to go with this friend of mine. I 159 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: thought that was strange because the letter's only purpose seemed 160 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: to be making me feel guilty for being the odd 161 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: man out for using too much water water that I 162 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: pay for. The letter did get me thinking, but probably 163 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: not what the cinder intended. I've noticed a bunch of 164 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: Instagram reels lately pushing the idea that daily showers are 165 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: unhealthy and that taking two to three showers a week 166 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: is not only normal, but better for your skin. The 167 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: reels use words like scientific studies and studies show to 168 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: make it seem more credible. It feels like classic softening 169 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: before the hard bands hit. The playbook is always the same. 170 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: You don't really need it quickly becomes you can't have it. 171 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: My guess is that the health of my skin is 172 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: far less important to the powers that be than AI 173 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: data centers, which need billions of gallons of water each 174 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: year for cooling. They're not saying directly to skip showers 175 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: because chet GPT needs your water, but when they mandate 176 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: smart meters, tiered pricing, and fines, all the reels we've 177 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: seen will already have some believing that three minute showers 178 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: twice a week are virtuous. They're not trying to save us, 179 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: they're trying to save AI. Also, the mud district can 180 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: kiss my ass if you look at the run the 181 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: projection of what data centers are already consuming, and that's 182 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: only going to grow exponentially. See, we've reached a point 183 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: where the speed of change is faster by multiples that 184 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: we can't imagine because the agents of change, the product 185 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: of change, is now the producer of change. So AI 186 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:19,359 Speaker 1: can eliminate the slog the slow down of human interaction. 187 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: In human involvement, humans can only work so many hours 188 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: a day. Humans get tired, humans die, humans quit, humans 189 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: move jobs. A proper machine in the short term, we 190 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: don't know what that'll be over a fifty year lifespan 191 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: doesn't need to be. But a proper machine can work 192 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day. Elon is a master promoter, 193 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: so I always take what he says with the grain 194 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: of salt. But what he's talking about doing with their robotics, 195 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: which is why his pay package all in looks like 196 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: about a trillion dollars. 197 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 3: And do I tell them about money? Okay, well, what's 198 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 3: the right amount you don't need? Martin active ount in 199 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: money where you don't need but half what you make. 200 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: Somehow you're soldiering on though it's a wealth creation issue. 201 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: We could just get people to stop believing. 202 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: And I don't know where they get this from that 203 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: people are paid based on what is nice or based 204 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: on what there's some sense of I don't know. These 205 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: are very feminine ways of thought. There's nothing wrong with 206 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: feminine in the right place and time. But there's a 207 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: place for rational thought and this is not the place 208 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: for well, let's let everybody make something. It's not how 209 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: it works. It doesn't incentivize the things that we love 210 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: about life. But back to AI. When you look at 211 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: the consumption of electricity and water, the water is to cool, 212 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: these machines get hot, the warehouses, the deals that are 213 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: being done now on land in West Texas, where you've 214 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: got cheap land and you need a lot of land. 215 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 1: AI does not coexist in major urban areas as a 216 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: data center. You've got to be able to have production facilities, 217 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: which is really what this is. It's like a working 218 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: oil well. You've got to have these facilities that require 219 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: and consume so much space, so much energy, so much 220 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: water that it's overnight going to dwarf residential consumption. Add 221 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: to that, if electric vehicles had continue to pace, they're not. 222 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: You're going to see electric vehicles continue to drop in 223 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: percentage of cars because GM FOD Dodge. They're basically going 224 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: to stop making them because all the incentives are gone. 225 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: The seventy five hundred is gone into September. But if 226 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: that had continued again, nobody thought about that. We're not 227 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: going to be able to create as much energy electricity 228 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: as we need. So it felt like the old campaign days. 229 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: Yesterday we had a meal inside the Loop at I 230 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: said Mary soul chinwah, it's maysom chinhwah. And then we 231 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: went from there. I sent David Burton and his mom 232 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: and his wife and his niece to Federal American Grill, 233 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: even though they lived in Katie. I wanted them to 234 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: be at the location off Itenant, Campbell so that we 235 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: could pop by after our dinner and see them. And 236 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: so we spent We went to dinner, and then we 237 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: rushed out and went and sat with them while they ate. 238 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: And it's just amazing to me how solid good systems 239 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: restaurants have consistency. I'm at a point now where I 240 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: don't eat. I almost never try a new restaurant. Last 241 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: night was was an anomaly, and that was only because 242 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: I know the owner and I knew it would be good. 243 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: But good restaurants have good systems. I go into Federal 244 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: American Grill, I know what I'm going to get. I 245 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: know it's going to be solid. I know the fundamentals 246 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: are going to be taken care of. Matt Brice is 247 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: opening another Federal American Grill in the old Eloise Nichols, 248 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: I say, old, it'll be a second generation restaurant space. 249 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: If you remember where Copones used to be, what is 250 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: that street called? 251 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: Uh? 252 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if Polilo dis but what this is 253 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: the Michael Berry Show. It's really only a room for 254 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: one ego in here? Did he do spots for cabos 255 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: of her compons? Didn't they do live broadcast there? So 256 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: there was another play. Oh you know my old neighbor, 257 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: uh Crpto, Frank Crpto had a place there. Yeah, you know, 258 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: I've told the story before, so forgive me, I'll make 259 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: it short. Frank Crypto my next door neighbor, and we 260 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: lived at one Crestwood. He lived at two Crestwood, and 261 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: we had at the time our kids were say seven 262 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: and eight, we didn't have a pool and he did. 263 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: And so I got along with him. His wife is 264 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: very liberal. She was a business owner. They had married 265 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: later in life, but she had very liberal politics, and 266 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: she was nice to me, but I knew she hated 267 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: my politics and she hated my show, whereas Frank loved 268 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: my politics and loved my show. And so one day 269 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: he calls, or he texts, and he said, hey, can 270 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: you and Nandita come over? And I forget his wife's name, 271 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: let's say it was Liz. Can you Naded to come 272 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: over and visit with me and Liz for just ten 273 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: minutes this evening when you get off? And I said sure, 274 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: And I thought, oh god, one of the kids has 275 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: pete in his yard or you know, pull his dog's ear. 276 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: And Frank wasn't the type to complain at all, but 277 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: you know, you got two young kids. I know what 278 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: I did when I was that age, right, I'd gone 279 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: over and stolen their car or something. I thought, Oh no, 280 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: So it is with honest dread that we march over 281 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: to their house to take the beating and apologize and 282 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: do whatever we need to do to make this situation right. 283 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: They offer us a glass of wine. Okay, well, that's 284 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: usually when you scold somebody. Don't start with a glass 285 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: of wine. But you know he's a he's he owned 286 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: the restaurants. He he he did liquor sales. You know, 287 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: it's a glass of wine softness. So we sit down. 288 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear. I'd had no bad 289 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: blood with Frank, but I didn't know him that well 290 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: yet and so and he would say nice things about 291 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: the show, so I know he didn't dislike me. But 292 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: still my kids have probably busted a window or something 293 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: and hid from it or whatever. So we sit down 294 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: and he said whatever, and it Liz and I have 295 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: been talking. Oh no, and y'all don't have a pool, 296 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: and you have two sons and we have a pool 297 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: and nobody to use it. So we would like your 298 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: kids to use our pool. You can use the side gate, 299 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: just text us because they travel all the time. They 300 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: had a place in Jackson Hole and use the side gate. 301 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: Just please lock it back. And I only have one requirement. 302 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: One of you has to be with the kids when 303 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: they're here swimming and the gate stays locked and they 304 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: don't get the coat. Because you don't want the bad 305 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: things happening. I can't even say the word you don't 306 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: want something happening in your pool. And I'm walking home afterwards, 307 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: and I said to my wife, who does that? Who says, 308 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: you have kids, y'all don't have a pool, you can 309 00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: use ours? Like that's the most gracious thing in the world. 310 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: It was incredible. Thus began a deep and abiding friendship 311 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: with Frank Corpedo which culminated. The high point was Frank 312 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: was probably eighty at this time and he texted me 313 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: while I was on the air, and it was about 314 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, five point fifteen. So I picked up 315 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: my phone during the break and he said, hey, you 316 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: know I caught these fish he owned. He owned a 317 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: Maudi boat Company, which is a which is a real 318 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: flat and thin boat that drafts very lower. I don't 319 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: know the term. I'm not a big fishing guy. It 320 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: can go into real shallow water, extremely shallow water. It's 321 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: in port O'Connor, port Lavaca, I think port O'Connor anyway, 322 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: So he loved this little boat company. He bought from 323 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: an engineer named Bill Maudi who was who had created 324 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: these and then he sent sold it and the guy 325 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: who owns it now emails me. Frank passed by the way. 326 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: So Frank Crpedo text me and he said, Hey, I 327 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: caught these sheep head or sheep fish again, I don't know, 328 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to I like to cook them 329 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: for you. Would that be all right? I said yes? 330 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: He said how about tonight? And I said yes? And 331 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: he said, I'll wait till you get off and when 332 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: I see you drive by, I'll come over if that's okay. 333 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: And I said that's fine. And he said, I wouldn't 334 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: go over to your house with your wife there because 335 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: she wanted to cook him with him. And he's a great, 336 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: great cheft I know none Needa wants to cook him 337 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: with me, but I won't go over there until you're home. 338 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: And I'm like, Frank, that's the most chivalrous thing ever. 339 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: But you can go over there. That's perfectly fine. Are 340 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: you sure I wouldn't do that? And I told my 341 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: wife and she got the biggest kick out of that. 342 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: I mean, just what a great yeah. How many people 343 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: just love their neighbor. It just doesn't happen anyway. So 344 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: Matt Brice is opening a new one in that space 345 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 1: right there. It used to be Eloise Nichols. I'm excited 346 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: about it. I was alerted that Jake Owens made a 347 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: cover of Middle Aged Crazy. There's a line in the 348 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: next one that says, talking about him and his wife, 349 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: they got a business. They spent a while coming by. 350 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: I've been a long uphill climb, but now the profits 351 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: are high. Boy, I have seen more family run businesses 352 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: where they were young and beautiful and now they're old 353 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: and wrinkled and sharing the fruits that labor together. And 354 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: boy did they go through a lot to get there? 355 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: Can you turn it up from mom? We should probably 356 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: get in there, but you turn it off when. 357 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: They down the line. 358 00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he turn up, have got a business. 359 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 2: They's manny wow, come in by. 360 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: It's out the propits or such a weird song. I 361 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: don't know how much of that was Jerry Lee Lewis 362 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: because it doesn't have a consistent I don't have the 363 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: music theory knowledge, but doesn't have consistent pace. Right, it's 364 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: like a Willie Nelson song. If you think about that, 365 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: you don't know where to put that line, and so 366 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: it probably makes it very hard. You can tell he's 367 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: struggling with that part right there. With Jerry Lelewis, he 368 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: can start and stop on a dime. Drag stuff out 369 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: and cram stuff in, uh, kick the kick the seat 370 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: out from under him. Some nights, I I'll be up 371 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: watching him on the on the piano, and you know 372 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. You just know he's gonna do 373 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: that flourish you know, ripple down the down, the down 374 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: the keyboard. I'm sure there's a term for that. And 375 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: he's got that hair that's up and it's flying around 376 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: like lyle love its and going at it. And then 377 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: he's gonna put his feet up there. It's like he 378 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: cannot do it enough times for me. I can watch 379 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: him for hours, and then at some point he's gonna 380 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: get up there and he's gonna bang his knee on it, 381 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: and like that keyboard is getting tormented, tortured, and he's 382 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: going at it. And at some point he's gonna kick 383 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: that seat out behind me, Like, oh my god, this 384 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: is like when they burned the guitar. Right, kick that seatback. 385 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: You know, they had to have five seats per show, 386 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: they had to, right, And then he starts the next song, 387 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: real slow, middle aged crazy, and they got that seat 388 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: underneathing again and he's like, well be careful because he 389 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: liable to kick it out again it's crazy. And then 390 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: when I'm through doing that, you know el I do, 391 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: I watch him and Mickey, and I watch him and 392 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: Mickey go back and forth noeling pianos. And then after that, 393 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: you know what I do. I watch uh Jerry Lee 394 00:24:53,760 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: and Mickey and Charlie Rich doom too, oh, Charlie Rich 395 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: and silver Fox now and that's a night. At that point, 396 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm about five bourbons in three cigars two hours before 397 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: I got to be on the air. I'm in a 398 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: good spot right about then. See now that I tell 399 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: you this, you'll be looking for it. But sometimes I 400 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: come in and you don't know it. I take pride 401 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: in the you not knowing it part. But sometimes I 402 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: come in and I might have had a little too much. 403 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Lee, Lewis, Mickey Gill and Charlie Rich night before. 404 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: I like when he says the embroidered star, that's a 405 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: good line. They don't make him like that anymore. Even 406 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: covering something like that sounds sounds odd. I got a 407 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: message from Christine Johnson, Steve Johnson's wife, and she said 408 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: mid Lane. That's what we couldn't think of. That was 409 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: mid Lane. What's the street you'd think of Christine is 410 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: like forrest gum. She's like forestin a gum because she 411 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: knows everybody, she said. Frank Repeter was one of the 412 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: nicest men I had the pleasure of working with when 413 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: I was with the Restaurant Association years ago. He was 414 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: always so generous. I saw a mean this weekend that 415 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: said something to the effect of there's no greater pride 416 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: than when someone says, I knew your dad. He was 417 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: a good man. And you know, it's odd because we 418 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: think of people that came before us as we put 419 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: them in a certain place they lived at a time 420 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: they were but actually, like right now, how you feel 421 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: right now, tired, cranky, anxious, stress, worried, sick, in pain, 422 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: whatever that is wherever you are right now, in this position, 423 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: that's how they were going through their life. So when 424 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: we think of so and so being a really good man, 425 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: he did good things for people, or ma'm mow, she 426 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: was always there for us. Sure she was also going 427 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: to bed and putting a tiger bamb on her feet 428 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: because her feet hurt right or Ben Gay on her 429 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: knees because her joints ache. Thing about Ben Gay, I'm 430 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: not even sure, you know, I just found out a 431 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: few years ago when we had a guy on the air. 432 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: I didn't know that gasoline doesn't stink. How can you 433 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: not have known that? I had no idea. I had 434 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: no idea that gasoline doesn't have that awful malodorous scent. 435 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: They put it in there so that when it's around, 436 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: you don't light a fire and blow us all up. 437 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: What are you doing? You what looking at your plants 438 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of the show. Sit down? You're making 439 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: me nervous. So that's weird. So anyway, I'm wondering if 440 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: Ben Gay really didn't have any stink to it, and 441 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: they put it in there because they knew how much 442 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: I loved it. I do love that Ben Gay, oh Man. 443 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: And the only thing better is first time I went 444 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: to India, my knee or something was hurting and my 445 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: father in law handed me something called tiger bomb. Now 446 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: you get tiger bomb here. But just like everything else 447 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: we do, we screw it up because the FDA gets involved. 448 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: That tiger bomb was something like napalm or something, but 449 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: under a retail brand. He put it on. I think 450 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: it was my shoulder or my back whatever it was hurting, 451 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: and it had a dobber. Nothing. You don't get dabbers 452 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: like this anymore. It had it had the top, the 453 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: top on it was like a kerosene top, you know 454 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, And you would unscrew it, and 455 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: then it had two rods that were twisted like a 456 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: almost like a bobby pin or a safety pin, and 457 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: they kind of bowed out, and at the bottom they 458 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: had what was the equivalent of like a little rubber ball, 459 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: but it was a cloth, right, and you would you 460 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: you would turn the bottle upside down so that cloth 461 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: thing would absorb it, and then you'd put it on 462 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: you and it would burn. Oh what it burn? And 463 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: it was beautiful and it smelled even more off slash 464 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: awesome than being gay. And so I brought some back 465 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: with me. Little did I know it was contraband because 466 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: you can't get it here because it has things in 467 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: it MSG or something. I don't know that you're not 468 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: supposed to have DDT something that you're not supposed to 469 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: have here. So then I find it on the shelf 470 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: here and I go home and I well, that's that's 471 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: that's like a solar cane or something. It's not that good, 472 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: all right? Today is voting day.
