1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Jason Kennalls and runs hog baying dot Com, which is 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: described as the World Championship of hog Baying. There may 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: be some other people to take issue with him, but 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: I like the hype, I like the the style. Jake 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: Lloyd Keno works at the Chemical Plants as a salesman 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: outside salesman on Chemical Road in Orange, where my dad 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: and everybody I knew their dad worked my entire childhood. 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: But the big competition comes up in the next week. 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: He's based out of Orange, but the competition is in Winfield, Louisiana. 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: You're trying to bring this back to East Texas Southeast Texas? 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: Is that right? 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 2: Not necessarily trying to bring it back. I still own 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: the property, but like, uh, we're a good spot where 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: we're at right now. Like I'm in you know, I'm 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: in no hurry. 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: How much land do you need competition like this? 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: Essentially? Really all you need is like a rodeo area. Uh, 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: Now parking becomes an issue like it in Winfield. The 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: fairgrounds is probably somewhere between fifty and eighty acres and 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: we will fill it up. There will be people parked 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: down north, south, east, and west, both lanes or both 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: shoulders of the highway. Vehicles down both sides of the road. 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: And it's a town of around four thousand people, and 24 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: we will quadruple the population of the. 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: City that week. Why is the breed this fellow said, 26 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: His dog is a Louisiana Catahula leopard dog, and they 27 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: also use the black mouth curve dog. Why are those 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: two breeds in particular well suited for this? 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: They are more like spurting type dogs, really athletic. They're 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: fast too. They're built for like shorter range type honting. 31 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: They're really fast, really, and they're really durable. Like some 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: of the hounds and stuff are bred for longer race like, 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: uh say, like cats or deer or something that would 34 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: leave a colder track. These, uh, these cur dogs are 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: on a hot track and are really efficient in short 36 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: distances and short durations, a lot more efficient than a 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: hound would be in a short duration. 38 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: And why isn't. 39 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: Just genetics? Man? I don't know, you know, I'm not 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: a I'm a nerd about a lot of things. Uh, 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: But like I try not to do uh, I try 42 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: to overthink too much and uh some you know, I 43 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: see what works and I just stick with it. But 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: I have crossed. I crossed hound dog into my dogs 45 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 2: because a lot of times there's a lot of places 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: where you hunt hogs. It is hard, it is a 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: long race. Uh, it is dry ground, things like that, 48 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 2: stuff that a curd dog might not be able to 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: smell or might not have the stamina to stay with. 50 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: What about the hall typically for curd dog? Good? 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: Well, typically if a curd dog laid his eyes on 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: it like it's they're gonna get it, you know. A 53 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: hound he's kind of more of a uh uh you know, 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: not as aggressive. But uh, what's the word I'm looking 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: for here? Uh, finesse. My hand dog is more of 56 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: a finesse type of style. 57 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: And what about it is I don't know if you've 58 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: nerded this deep into it? What about the hog is 59 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: is the scent that he's smelling? Is it? Is it 60 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: some sort of odor? I mean, is it? Is it his? 61 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: Is it like a what? What? What is it? Do 62 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: you know? 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: Well? 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: I mean like a dog can just you know, you know, 65 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: they can smell a few hours old where any type 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: of game has has traveled. And I don't know that 67 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: they release anything. I think it's just like you know, 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: basically their scent has left on a trail or whatever, 69 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: and the dog can pick that up and he stays 70 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: with it till he follows it, I mean till he 71 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: finishes it. 72 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: But what that scent is? I mean, is it is 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: that scent in the hair? Is it in the skin? 74 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Is it an oil? Is it? Is it defecation? Is 75 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: it urine? Is it? You know? What? What exactly is 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: that that they're picking up? You know, because I bet 77 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: there's something that that is, you know, being that that's 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: being left there that causes that scent. How far away 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: would you say is the max a dog can smell 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: a hog? 81 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: Man? 82 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 2: Uh? These these dogs that we're running, I feel like 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: could smell a three or four hour track fairly easily. 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: I know, they are more advanced. You know, there are 85 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: stronger nose type of dogs you would get more into 86 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: the hound side that could probably smell like these cadaver 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: dogs and stuff. They could probably smell something twelve hours 88 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: old or older. But they're not really suited. Uh, they 89 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: don't have the physical attributes to be able to subdue 90 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: a wild hog. So you've kind of got to cross 91 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 2: you know. That's why, like all my dogs are cross bread. 92 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 2: I get the strengths of both breeds put them together, 93 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: and that that's how I try to concoct the perfect 94 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: hog dog. 95 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: How many homes ac. 96 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: Howe around twelve and they vary too, Like you need 97 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: like you were saying, you need to close her. You 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: need to, you know, for the put Mike Tyson in. 99 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: To finish the deal out in the woods. You have 100 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: to have catch dogs, typically. 101 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 3: Their pit bull Yeah that there are cur dogs that 102 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: will catch too, Yeah, I think, but I have a 103 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: couple of pit bulls and uh well, actually I think 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: I have three, and then the rest are either puppies 105 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: or or finished. 106 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Trying to tell you, Jake, it is left an obvious 107 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: impression on me. The focus this dog had for the 108 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: job he was going to do that. That's one of 109 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: the things I love about dogs is they live to serve. 110 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: You know that they take great pleasure. Their whole focus 111 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: is to do their job. And this fella, I mean, 112 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: once they started barking and he knew it was about 113 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: to be time, it really did remind me of Tyson 114 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: coming into the arena. You know that played the one 115 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: note doom down, and you know you're just mentally getting ready. 116 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: This dog was getting ready for what he was about 117 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: to do, and it was just glorious to watch. It's 118 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, I grew up with Cocker spaniels. Now we 119 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: have a German shepherd, but growing up it was always, 120 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, kind of pets. But to see a working 121 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: dog work like that. I am not going to make 122 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: it to your competition this year, but I'm gonna make 123 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: it at some point. I think this would be a 124 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: whole lot of fun. 125 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 2: We would love to have you. 126 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: The website is hog baying dot com, the official website 127 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: of the World Championship of hog Baying, and I would 128 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: tell you it's not an easy thing to go see. 129 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: So that's why the competition would be a neat thing 130 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: to do, because this is kind of an underground culture 131 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: and folks, you know, I don't know how much time 132 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: we got left in this segment, but I know I 133 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: was told some actress slash comedian came after you.

What's the matter with John? 177 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: I don't have no idea. 178 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 5: What in the world's happening to John? 179 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: Knock him out? John? 180 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 2: WHOA? 181 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 7: This thing's killing me. 182 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 5: The whole top of the tree was shaken. The dogs 183 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 5: got to bite in the bark of the tree and 184 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 5: fighting one another underneath the tree, and I was kicking them, 185 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: like you dogs, get away. What's the matter with John? 186 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: Knock him out? 187 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 6: John? 188 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: What this thing's killing me? 189 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 5: And John knew that mister Barron told the pistol in 190 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 5: his belt to shoot snakes with, and he kept hollering, 191 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 5: who shoot this thing? 192 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: Have mercy? 193 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 5: This thing killing me. Shoot this thing, And mister Baron said, John, 194 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 5: ain't shoot up in there, I might hit you. John said, well, 195 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 5: just shoot up in here. 196 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Amongst us, one of us got to have some relief. 197 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: So here is the answer. Apparently, adult adult bores the 198 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: male hog release strong odors from their saliva, including molecules 199 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: like in drostenone and and drostenol, which dogs are able 200 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: to detect. So the greatest odor apparently comes from their saliva. 201 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: From the hog's saliva, which is a sexual pheromone boor 202 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: saliva contains unique molecules like quinoline which are not found 203 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: in south saliva the females, further aiding in the bores 204 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: unique scent profile. So I noticed several posts of people 205 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: asking how the dogs can hunt the hogs when hogs 206 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: have such an amazing sense of smell, and one report 207 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: was they possess a highly developed sense of smell capable 208 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: of detecting odors in excess of five miles. But dogs 209 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: have a significantly higher number of olfactory receptors compared to 210 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: humans and pigs, which grants them the ability to track 211 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: and detect sense with high accuracy, even from long distances. 212 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: So there is your answer not to be outdone our 213 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: friend Kenny Allen out in Waller, writes Zara. This Saturday 214 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: in Anderson, Texas is the biggest all around hog hunting 215 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: contest in the state of Texas. It is not limited 216 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: to hunting with dogs, but it's a great event that 217 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: benefits the Anderson Volunteer Fire Department and Grimes County Youth scholarships. 218 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: They call it Saint port Tricks Day since it's happening 219 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: around Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Pork Tricks Day, as Saint 220 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, so shall we 221 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: drive the hogs out of Texas? And you can find 222 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: that online. I suspect the main event is this Saturday. 223 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: The competition is this Friday and Saturday. Four man teams 224 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: heaviest hog statewide hunt, cash prizes, gun giveaway every hour, 225 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: live music featuring Mike Donald, demos, giveaways, food, gun manufacturers 226 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: benefiting Anderson Volunteer Fire Department and local youth scholarships. Jackpot competitions, 227 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: average cutter, longest stringer, heaviest three hogs combined, and kids 228 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: twelve and under. Heavy is raccoon. So I guess the 229 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: kids hunt raccoons that's the Saint Pork Tricks twenty twenty 230 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: five hog hunt in Anderson, Texas. And it apparently happens 231 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: at the gun shop there, which I forget their darn name. 232 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: I saw it somewhere, Oh here we go at the 233 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: Circle Star of Firearms sixty three to twenty Highway ninety 234 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: North in Anderson, Texas.

My daddy was a big man and very strong. 329 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: It was during the oil field days when roughnecks were rough. 330 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: The sheriff's office called my daddy to come to town 331 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: and help because there was a Houston wrestler in a 332 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: fight with some roughnecks at a beer joint in town. 333 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: Daddy got in the truck and went there. He wrestled 334 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: that guy down and bit his ear off and put 335 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: him in the bed of the truck and then took 336 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: him to the Calaboose that's the prison. It's really a jail, 337 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: but I like to work Calaboose, so I'm gonna go 338 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: along with it. The sheriff kept that ear in a 339 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: jar of formaldehyde in his office for years. When our 340 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: city cousins would come visit, we'd go to the courthouse 341 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: and look at it. The old jail in Calaboose is 342 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: still there. It's a war museum now. My daddy became 343 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: constable after that we had to move to town. Also, 344 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: I just heard Tom T. Hall, Who's going to Feed 345 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: Them Hogs? Song? That's the most requested song by the 346 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: school kids waiting in line to get out, our grandkids 347 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: requested on Saturday mornings. KVLG. That's all I got. Enjoy 348 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: your day. That pretty good story right there. That's good 349 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: quality storytelling. Jim, all right, I want to play you 350 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: the Wayne del Chaffino story and point out how wasteful 351 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: Harris County government is with your tax dollars. This is 352 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: Wayne del Chafino. Go ahead, it's clip number twelve. GYM. 353 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 6: We told you to. 354 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 7: Some Harris County departments are being run almost totally remote. 355 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 7: The Office of Management and Budget had no one working 356 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 7: full time in the office. In February, the Department of 357 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 7: Economic Equity and Opportunity, our version of DEI, only two 358 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 7: of its sixty seven employees came to the office full time. 359 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 7: And now there's evidence they really aren't doing what we 360 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 7: thought what they were doing with their eight and a 361 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 7: half million dollar budget. In February, Maya Thornton, the director 362 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 7: of what they call inclusive Procurements, gave commissioners an update. 363 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 9: Additionally, we awarded six hundred and forty million in contracts 364 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 9: to MWB firms, which accounts for our twenty eight point 365 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 9: five percent in total awards, and this just kind of 366 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 9: brings us closer to our thirty percent aspirationial goal that 367 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 9: the county has identified and outlined. 368 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 7: Thornton is making one hundred and ninety thousand dollars a 369 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 7: year in that job. We look at the Equity department website, 370 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 7: it says they're supposed to do site visits on Harris 371 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 7: County vendors to make sure they are complying with the 372 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 7: county's MWBE program. For several weeks, we've been asking for 373 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 7: documentation of those site visits and have gotten nothing. We 374 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 7: thought it would be easy to produce. The department claims 375 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 7: to have conducted one thousand and thirty site visits by 376 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 7: their Worker and Community Protection team. They supposedly check on 377 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 7: workers safety at construction projects, but not MWBE. We finally 378 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 7: heard from the head of the department. Executive director Estella Gonzalez, 379 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 7: confirmed to us by email that her people haven't been 380 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 7: monitoring MWBE contracts at all, not one, claiming staffing shortages 381 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 7: have kept them from doing site visits, but they're going 382 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 7: to start in July, she says, blaming manpower and the 383 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 7: never ending need for you guessed it more money. 384 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 9: I will say that Maya and I are both committed to, 385 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 9: you know, growing the team there and asking for resources 386 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 9: so that we can research more. 387 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 7: Gonzalez makes two hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars a 388 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 7: year and gets to work from home when she wants to. 389 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 7: The budget for her department has swollen to eight million 390 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 7: dollars and it's time to get the DEI Department to 391 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 7: give us some straight answers. In a message to Precinct 392 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 7: three Commissioner Tom Ramsay, that same woman, Maya Thornton, claimed 393 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 7: they did monitor the mda UBE program with site visits. 394 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 7: The only contractors, she said, are in the MWBE program. 395 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 7: Fourteen days after our first request for site visit records, 396 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 7: the department posted a picture on their Facebook page saying 397 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 7: for the first time they now had a fleet vehicle 398 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 7: for site visits. It was almost like they finally realized 399 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 7: that someone was actually checking up to make sure they 400 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 7: were doing their jobs. Look at this document of all 401 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 7: the remote and hybrid workers at the DEO forty hours 402 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 7: forty hours forty hours full time salary positions, but no 403 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 7: one knows for sure where they were on their remote days. 404 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 7: And this is nice. The Houston Business Journal just awarded 405 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 7: the Harris County DEI Program the twenty twenty five Outstanding 406 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 7: Diverse Organization of the Year. Congratulations are in order. 407 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: What Daddy show On this day? In nineteen sixty six, 408 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: the theme to the Batman TV show, which you just heard, 409 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: reached its chart peak of seventeen on the charts. Can 410 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: you imagine that you turn on the radio and the 411 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: song they're playing would be the Batman theme song. Then 412 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: were you big into Batman? I think Ramon fantasized about 413 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: being Robin. I don't know that, but since he's not here, 414 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that because people half assed listen anyway, 415 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: In three years from now, somebody will come up to him. 416 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: I can't believe you fantasized about being Robin, and Ramon 417 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: will say, what are you talking about, and he'll say 418 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: I heard it. I heard it on the radio. They'll 419 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: believe it, and you know there's some glory in that. 420 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: Teach him, Teach him to be suspended for a week. 421 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: Michelle writes Zar, I cannot thank you enough for having 422 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: the allergists on your show. The other day. I listened 423 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: to him talk about the navage. My grandson, who's going 424 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: to turn eleven on the fourth of next month, has 425 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: had severe allergies since Hurricane Harvey ruined his mom and 426 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: dad's house and the mold took over while they rebuilt. 427 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: Caden has no sense of smell, and we don't even 428 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: know if he ever smelled anything since birth. I ordered 429 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: the nevage as soon as I got to work and 430 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: it came in on Saturday. Sunday. My daughter read up 431 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: on it and they started their venture. And my grandson 432 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: Kayden said after the first use he loved it. Three 433 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: days in he can breathe out of his left nostril 434 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: for the first time. I can only imagine what the 435 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: two weeks will be for him. Instructions say to do 436 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: this for two weeks. I thank you from the bottom 437 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: of my heart for that morning. I love your show, 438 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: Michelle English Gmau. It's probably Grandma, Jim. I know how 439 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: to read things like that. That probably Grandma. Well, you know, 440 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: we first had Mary Tally Boden on the show five 441 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: years ago because somebody sent me a viral video of 442 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: her as doctor Snotsucker, and so I had her on 443 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: the air to talk about the importance of clearing your 444 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: nasal passages, which in addition to giving you comfort, can 445 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: make a huge difference in your overall health. And so 446 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: of course she became very famous over COVID and you 447 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: know the Texas Medical Board coming after her, and then 448 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: her exposing the fact that the medical director of the 449 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: Texas Medical Board is also the medical director of Planned Parenthood, 450 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: who knew he had two jobs. I mean, what kind 451 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: of scam was going on there? But anyway, she's become 452 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: quite famous. She has a huge online social media following. 453 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: She's become a social personality over the issue of patients 454 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: rights in the doctor patient relationship. So anyway, doctor Colosso, 455 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: who had been treating my wife for alergies for five years, 456 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: she begged me to go to him, and so I did, 457 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: and we're working through all of the things that I 458 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: want to get rid of. But like most men, and 459 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: I know every guy I knowah's like this, we knew 460 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: there was something wrong. We just didn't ever get off 461 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: our butts to go do something about it, whereas my 462 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: wife will and so then she can breathe better and 463 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: not have all these problems that I still have had. Anyway, 464 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: so we had him on was that this past Friday. 465 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: I guess it was his past Friday, and I knew 466 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: it being policies and especially that people were going to respond. 467 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: But I have been surprised how many people have emailed 468 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: me and said, what was the name of the allergy clinic? Again, 469 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: I suffered with this, and hearing you talk about it, 470 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: I just I don't want to have to deal with 471 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 1: this any longer. So, but I asked him, for those 472 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: of you who missed the interview, you can go back 473 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: and hear it on the podcast from this past Friday morning. 474 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: I asked him, what is the poor man's answer to 475 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: allergy problems? And he said the same thing that Mary 476 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: taly Boden said five years ago, and this seems to 477 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: be rather consistent. Nasal rents, you can go get a 478 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: netty pot and they have these little salt packages you 479 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: put in there, and it's basically just salted water. And 480 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: you use distilled water because there could be organisms and 481 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: things in our tapwater, not if you do what I didn't, 482 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: go to Abaca's Plumbing and get a water filter. But 483 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: either way, you use distilled water. You put it in 484 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: there and you basically run it through your nose. And 485 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: it's pretty simple concept. It's like a pe trap. It 486 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 1: goes in one side and you pull it up and 487 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: it goes you turn on your side and gravity pulls 488 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: it through and it runs through your nose and comes 489 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: out the other side. Well, the salt in the water 490 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: has the effect you would expect. The salt pulls everything 491 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: out of your nose that's sitting there and as it 492 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: turns out, those pollens that are so rampant outside right 493 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: now are pulled out of your nose because the problems 494 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: they're causing, they're actually just collected, and you know they're 495 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: just sitting in your nostrils and causing you all these problems. 496 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: So his answer was the poor man's answer before doing 497 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: anything else or even seeing a doctor, is doing nasal rents. 498 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: And he said that when he goes for a jog 499 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: at Rice village and the tree, the live oak pollen 500 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: is really bad. That's and that's one of his big allergies. 501 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: And mine that when he comes home and he can 502 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: feel it, after that, he immediately goes to the bathroom 503 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: and a and does a nasal rents. You ever doing 504 00:29:53,400 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: a nasal rence, Jim? You do how often? Often? Once 505 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: a month on any sense of regularity, or you just 506 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: bored and you go out doing nasal rerens when you 507 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: start feeling the pollen. Okay, well it's that season now, 508 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: I uh, it's gonna be interesting. He has set my expectations. Look, 509 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: we're starting on the allergy shots. We're gonna get you. 510 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: You know, we're on the expedite. You can do the 511 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: slower where it's a smaller amount of the antigen they 512 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: put into your body, and you do it for a 513 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: longer period of time, and I think that takes a year, 514 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: or you can do the faster with it, and I 515 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: think that takes seven months, because what you're doing is 516 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: you're putting the evil into your body, and your body 517 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: is building up a response to it the way you 518 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: do with a vaccine or anything of the sort. And 519 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: I think mine is seven months. So he said, look, 520 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna promise you you're gonna you're gonna have 521 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: an antibody to the think to the things that cause 522 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: you all these problems for this season, but my goal 523 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: is to have you in good shape for next season. 524 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: Hell I've had allergy so long and it has bothered 525 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: me for so much of my life. I think at 526 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: this point I don't know that it would necessarily matter. 527 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: I was reading that the Batman theme song let Me 528 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: See if I Can, it's a guy named Neil Hefti 529 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: who did it, and he said he based it on 530 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: let Me See if I which I hadn't really noticed. 531 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: But it's true that he said that he based it 532 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: on spy film song of Scores and surf music, and 533 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: he blended the two into a twelve bar blues progression 534 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: using only three chords until the coda. The music was 535 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: performed by the Wrecking Crew, which is the group that 536 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell was part of Out of La, with Tommy 537 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: Tedesco on the guitar, Carol Kay on bass ball. That 538 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: one was a bad She's amazing title song. Batman theme 539 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: is what it charted at seventeen Andy Adam West nineteen 540 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: ninety four book Back to the Batcave, in which he 541 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: incorrectly recalled that the theme featured horns rather than vocals. 542 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Adam West had a pretty good run there. 543 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: You know what I learned last night, Jim? I was 544 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: reading up on the Brady Bunch. You know how it 545 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: was created? Did you know how Robert Reid died aids? Yeah? 546 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: How'd you know that? He was homo? I had no 547 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: idea And apparently he fought with the producer's constantly because 548 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: he didn't like the writing. He always wanted to change it, 549 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: and apparently he would storm off the set. I was 550 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: reading all about this. Apparently he was quite dramatic on set.
