They 37 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: make you. They put you in the moment of being 38 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: crushed by a crowd and being unable to breathe, and 39 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: you about half hyperventilate watching the film. It is tough 40 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: to watch because as a young man in the group, 41 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: they didn't spend a lot of time on him. His 42 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: name was John Higbert, but he was at Memorial and 43 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: I think he was Crockett's age.

Anyway, 342 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: I don't even know why I got on all that. 343 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: So Republic Boot Company was barely tread and water, and 344 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: I like to talk to my show sponsors about how 345 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: they're doing, and so I would ask how they were 346 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 2: doing and just kind of slowly but surely. 347 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: Building up, building up. 348 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: And I'm not going to take credit for one hundred 349 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 2: percent of their success. Probably I mean to be accurate, 350 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: it's probably ninety five percent. Cal McNair went in and 351 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 2: brought the brought the quarterback a pair and we talked 352 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 2: about that, and they sold a lot more custom boots. 353 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: They sell boots off the rack, but they also but 354 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: most of their boots are custom boots. And anyway, so 355 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: Chris works for I believe the owner works for Excellent, 356 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: and his day job he does so that he can 357 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: afford his passion, which is his boot company. And he started, 358 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: he bootstrapped this boot company, and he started in the heights, 359 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: and they just kept expanding. A little shop beside him 360 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: would close down, and they'd buy that little shop, and 361 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: then they would expand in the hats, and they would 362 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: expand in the belts, and then you. 363 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: Know, they're already in the leather. 364 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: And then they brought in a custom soup maker and 365 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 2: he does out of there, and then they brought in, 366 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: you know, all sorts of other stuff. And then they 367 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: put a little little tiny stage up front, and they 368 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 2: started having not that tiny they started having folks come 369 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: in and sing, and then they started bringing in rare 370 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: bourbons and things, and they started hosting parties. That became 371 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: an event space as well. Anyway, I'm so proud of them. 372 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: He's bought the building and he was rushing to get 373 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: the building closed in time that he could celebrate the 374 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: one hundredth anniversary of the cornerstone brick being laid in 375 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 2: that building in the Heights. And it's at eleventh and 376 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: stud of Wood.

No, that's not really your 384 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: it's not that's not really saying a fact. 385 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: Not really your domain.

They've 444 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 2: locked me out of it. They torment me by letting 445 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: me in for an hour at a time, whereupon I say, hey, 446 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 2: here's my new page. Go to my new page. But 447 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 2: then they lock it again. And even even when they 448 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 2: let me in, I have to go through eight pages 449 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 2: that say your account is on the verge of being 450 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: canceled because you're a crash bastard. 451 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Or something like that. I don't know what they say. 452 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 2: Because I posted things like Hunter Biden was taking bribes. 453 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: We now know that's true. Posted a picture of Hunter 454 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: Biden with a crack pipe in the bathtub. I only 455 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 2: showed it from the chest up. 456 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's terrible. What about all these other people frolicking 457 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: on the beach. 458 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 2: They got a naked chest too, What is it? 459 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: It's bad if. 460 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: It's Hunter Biden's. But anyway, I posted yesterday something we 461 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 2: had played. I like Engelbert Humperdink and we had played 462 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 2: out of yesterday or day before members yesterday, Hey, we'd 463 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: played Kwanda Kuwanda Kwonda, which I really like. And he said, hey, 464 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 2: dad's got Alzheimer's. So I read the Alzheimer's News and 465 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 2: it was this story I think you would like. It 466 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: was a link to the story. And a guy probably 467 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 2: about my age drives around with his dad who has Alzheimer's, 468 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: and his dad doesn't really remember him all the time 469 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: most of the time, but he remembers the words to 470 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: this song. So they drive around and when it gets 471 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 2: to the chorus, they sing it together. And I'm going 472 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: to tell you something. If you've watched somebody go through, 473 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: they now call it memory care. 474 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: All the old folks. 475 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 2: Homes now they kind of there's a there's primarily kind 476 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: of a three phase process or three prongs to old 477 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: folks care now, which by the way, is very lucrative. 478 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: Now I had no idea big money. You've got what 479 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: they call independent living. And if somebody's in independent living, 480 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: do not use the term old folks home. They don't 481 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: like that. That's what my mom and dad called it 482 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: until they were until my dad was in one. But 483 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: independent living is where you're old and you just don't 484 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 2: want to have to cut your own grass or manage 485 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 2: your own home. And you know, we're all, you know, 486 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: marching to the grave in one way or another. Independent 487 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: living is a transition from living in your own home 488 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 2: to being in full blown what they call assisted living. 489 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 2: So independent living is if you can still you know, 490 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: control everything and handle your own medicine, and you're living 491 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: around other people, and should you need help, it's there, 492 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 2: but you don't. You don't have constant nursing nurses stopping 493 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: in all day long. 494 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: Then you move from there to the. 495 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: More costly and more services assisted living, and that means 496 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: you still have your mind, but you have some medical issue. 497 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: So in my dad's on my dad's he's in assisted 498 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: living because of the diabetes portion. So probably thirty percent 499 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: of these folks are in a wheelchair and they have various, 500 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: you know, different problems that you if you've been around 501 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: old people, you know incontinence that, there can be skin issues, 502 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: there can be breathing issues, there can be all sorts 503 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: of things. My dad's is just very extreme diabetes, which 504 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: he's battled for sixty five years. Alliantly, may I say, 505 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 2: because he's he shouldn't even be alive at eighty five, 506 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: much less have all ten of his toes and fingers 507 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: and his vision. It's unheard of, doctor stated, it's unheard of. 508 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: He had to treat himself for most of that and 509 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 2: then from assisted living. The next phase is, which I 510 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 2: don't think he has been around that long, is memory care, 511 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: and that is people with Joe Biden disease in one 512 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: way or another. 513 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: So Joe Biden should. 514 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: Have been in memory care. I mean, I guess in 515 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: a sense he was. They had him in the White House. 516 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: The only thing. 517 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: Nicki Haley has ever said useful was the most expensive 518 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: memory care or facility in America was. 519 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: The White House for the last four years. 520 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 2: Anyway, it's a really heartwarming story to see this guy 521 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: and his dad driving around and when they get to 522 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 2: the chorus, his dad catches up. That's the chorus, and 523 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: together they belt out Kwando, Kwando, kwondo, and it's just glorious. 524 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: I watched it for twenty and just watched it on loop. 525 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: It's incredible, if you, uh, if you can get over 526 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: the fact that he does his show in drag, which 527 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 2: I find very tedious, but he's funny, so I'll listen 528 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: instead of watch. 529 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 4: Uh. 530 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 2: Eddie Izzard has a clip on Engelbert Humper Dank and 531 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 2: how how he came to have his name. 532 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: Pretty funny. 533 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 2: It's uh, it's it's uh. It's it's very funny. Actually, 534 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: you'd probably rather listen to it than watch it. Every year, 535 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 2: every year the media attacks the Texas Rangers and they 536 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: try to cancel the team, including the local newspaper there, 537 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: Fort Worth Star Telegram, because they're the only team in 538 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, the only holdout who refuses to host 539 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: a Pride Night. So now the Fort Worth Star Telegram says, 540 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: uh the headline, maybe hosting Pride Night will reverse the 541 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 2: Texas rangers putrid offense. You know, if I were the 542 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: Texas Rangers, I'd go Trump on them. I assume it's 543 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: still Tom Hicks right that has it, George Bush's old 544 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: business partner.
