I, for one, enjoy 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: what I would call cold weather. It's for those of 18 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 3: you who ever lived up north, you know, like Dallas. 19 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 3: For those of you who've lived in Chicago or New York, 20 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 3: you're going, well, this is exactly cold weather. But for 21 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 3: us it is, and I for one am here for it. 22 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: I enjoy it. I've got my little foot heater down 23 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: at my neked feet right now. You know, the process 24 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: of cooling down during the summer is not nearly as 25 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: enjoyable as the process of warming up in the winter. 26 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, a good hot shower. 27 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: I said, good feeling, good feeling, putting on more clothes 28 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: to fight off the cold coming in to the warm 29 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: from being outside, sitting under a heater, sitting around a fire, 30 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: get into a hot tub. But when it's hot here, 31 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: which is three and sixty four days of the year, 32 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: including Christmas, may I add, you're in the process constantly 33 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: of trying to cool off, and I just don't enjoy 34 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: that as much. 35 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: Now. I will tell you what helped when we were 36 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: little remanent. 37 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: I don't There's certain things we just stopped doing and 38 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: I don't know why. And the one that I really 39 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: don't understand why we stopped doing was remember the things. 40 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: It was basically just kool aid in a long plastic 41 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: strip that was impossible to open at the end, and 42 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: you'd put it in the freezer and they would be 43 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: they'd be stuck together, and you would you would you 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: would get your scissor and you would cut off the 45 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: end and you would turn that thing up and you 46 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: would basically drink the kool aid and then you would 47 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: chew on the ice. And that was good. I don't 48 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: know what because those were like a penny apiece. It 49 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 3: didn't cost anything. I don't know why we stopped doing that. 50 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: Those things were fantastic. Well, as usual, the Democrats picked 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 3: the wrong person for their show, Pony, that hideous creature 52 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, who the domestic terrorist who was attempting to 53 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: murder an ICE agent. First of all, the picture they 54 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: showed us of her was halfway attractive, and then as 55 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: it turned out, she'd had something of a transformation. 56 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: So I always say. 57 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: She didn't like boys any longer, and she just kind 58 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: of made a decision, I'm gonna make sure y'all don't 59 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: like me either. Well, the first narrative that came out, 60 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: and to their credit, there's something in business called a 61 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: first mover advantage. If you're the first one into a space, 62 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: then your name is the one that's known and you 63 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: get all the people. If people are gonna buy something, 64 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: that's what they buy. And then by the time the 65 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: next guy gets in, you figure a big part of 66 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: the market's already taken. 67 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: Uh. 68 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 3: What was the one What was the GLP shot? That 69 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 3: was the first mover advantage in the GLP not ozimpic. 70 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: So people that don't do GOLP, the only name they 71 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: know is Ozimpic. And then you had Wigov, and then 72 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: you had zeb Bound, then you had and now you've 73 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: got compounding pharmacies. There's people getting basically the same product 74 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: from all sorts of different people. But Ozimpic was it 75 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 3: Nova Nordisk? 76 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: Is that their name? Nova Nordisk. It's a Norwegian company. 77 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: At one point a couple of years ago, that was 78 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: ten percent of the GDP of Norway. Now, I don't 79 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: know if that reflects a whole lot of sales or 80 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: a really small country, but Norway's not tiny, and they 81 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: got oil reserves. I think just a lot of people 82 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 3: were getting the shot. And then Viagra. You ended up 83 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: with Levitra Viagra levitra cialis. 84 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: Was there one other big one? You be huge? Yep, 85 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: you be huge? That was one of the formulations I forgot. 86 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: That's good. 87 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: Thank your mom for always being there for me. But 88 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: in any case, so they first put the picture, just 89 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 3: like Trayvon Martin first picture they. 90 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: Put out there. 91 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 3: You know, she's just you know, she looks like a 92 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: care free woman. We don't know she's an angry lesbian. 93 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: And then she's. 94 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: A mother of three that killed a mother of. 95 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: Three She's a mother of three who only can visit 96 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: one of her three. 97 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Why couldn't she visit the other two? Oh? 98 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: Her mad, angry lesbian partner, the one who told the 99 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: officer just before telling her to drive off, which is 100 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: what got her killed. You better pack a lunch, because 101 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 3: somehow was she gonna whip his ass. Good grief, Wolverine, 102 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: You are so angry that one, apparently, I have read, 103 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: was putting out cigarettes on the arm of the other kids. 104 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. They're a real tasty duo, that one. 105 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: And she was not the custodial parent for those children, 106 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: so don't throw that in there. And by the way, 107 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 3: what mother doesn't have custody of their kids? The courts 108 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 3: are predisposed to give a mother cousin. You gotta really 109 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: be so she has gone angry crazy cult member, So 110 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: what it is you got? A deprogrammer? Can't now? But 111 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: that's where she was in all of this, And why 112 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: was she even there? I'm assuming you know by now, 113 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: I'm assuming you know. Well after all of the nonsense 114 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: of that whole case, and people have looked at the 115 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: video and they go, Okay, well, I guess we have 116 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: to move on to the next thing. But at least 117 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: we distracted from Trump for a week. A lot of 118 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: Harris County Democrats. You know, the al Green held a 119 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: vidual for her.

She did nothing wrong, 125 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: and now her mother has spoken out, But who cares 126 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: because she doesn't serve our narrative. There's you, a white woman. 127 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: You want a white woman to take up her case? 128 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: How about this twenty five year old woman who was 129 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: a waitress struggling to pay her bills, came here from Iowa, 130 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: shot and killed by two thugs that Democrat policies kept 131 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 3: on the streets, and she did nothing wrong, bled out 132 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: on a metro bus. Oh but her name's Caitlin Stoop. 133 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: They don't bother to tell us that, do they, because 134 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: she's not a useful idiot to them. 135 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Well, the greatest moments in your life, it's them.

You know, the coaches kept thinking 156 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: he's gonna be really good because you know, you played 157 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: against the black teams and they're all good. So we 158 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 3: got a black guy, He's gonna be good. But he 159 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: was okay. 160 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: He wasn't. 161 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: He wasn't first rate, but he had one of those 162 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: personalities like black comedic actors in the sixties like Nipsey 163 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: Russell Or or Flip Wilson or just kind of really amenable. 164 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: All the time. 165 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: And they were really poor, poor family that uh I 166 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 3: don't know if the dad was present at home, but 167 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: the family was really poor.

Man, that's the damnedest way to die, 210 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: isn't it. That's the damn this way. But anyway, do 211 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: you remember being in school and that song would come 212 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 3: on or their commissar and you would work, you would 213 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: learn the words because. 214 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: It's like you were speaking a foreign language. 215 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you were using some foreign words because you knew 216 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: there wasn't there wasn't a chance in hell you're ever 217 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 3: going to learn a foreign language.

It felt it felt empowering. Yes, indeed, 220 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: it felt very empowering. I wanted to start a segment, 221 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: but it's too early. I mean, it's too late in 222 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 3: the segment to do that. So I will hold on 223 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: that particular subject and I will ask you a question. 224 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: What does Beyonce?

And secondly, that's the 243 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 3: woman who trashed her own courtroom. Remember her own court reporter, 244 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 3: who you figured would have her back.
