pickle in his mouth. So, it's Ben Rodgers, Jeff Skinwad,
Kevin K. T. Turner. We're out here at the Pluckers
City View location, e von zeigas engineering back at the studio.
It's the most talent thank you, back at the studio.

(02:32):
She's out with us here today. She's back in Dallas.
It's Christina Kray, little baby corn Bread Ray. Happy Friday,
Happy Friday. Happy Friday. To you too. Before we get started. Uh,
an author, a local author, brought me this book and
he brought it up here. A self published guy. He
wrote this book. What an accomplishment to having having written
(02:53):
your own book. There he is right there. Thank you.
Give him around. William Xavier Chandler. So, and it's called
House of the Black Moon. And it's about a vampire
in Amarillo, Abilene Abilene. Abilene is about an which they're
way different than the ones in Amrillo. They're very Abilene
vampires significantly do and they hate each other. They usually
(03:14):
the Abilene vampires usually spend a semester at ACU, right, right,
And what's really cool about this but not only is
he self published, but I want to promote this book,
so we textans supporting Texans and obviously with Texas being
one of the themes of the book. But everything that
happens with this book, a sizable portion of the royalties
are going to make a wish foundation. Hell yeah, and
(03:35):
the Blood Blood Cancer Unite and very blessing you. Congratulations,
that's very nice. What a cool kt you've never been published.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I haven't, But so A House of the Black Moon
is what that's called.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Have you guys read the hot new book Seduced by
Bigfoot Ravaged by a Yetti?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is that the Yeah? Senator wrote that.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
All right, right, yeah, we need to dive into that sometime.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I didn't realize that there was so much East material
like that, you know, like where it's like Bigfoot in
the woods and there's like a negligent and.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I'm wondering, are there a large portion of people who
have always wanted to, or at least have been a
little curious about, keep going there some.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Talking with animals, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh, man, well Bigfoot is not an animal, it's he's
a wookie. Yeah, he's a space traveler.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
If he's real.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Did you see the new UFO documentary thing that's going out.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I did not know, but I'm interested and it's probably
on my algorithm right now.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I'm not really too concerned or excited about it either.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, there is one Kevin Turner, everybody and give it
up for KT. Get the best work out here. We
are at the Pluckers. You're in the eight one seven,
Come out and hang out with us. We we'd love
to see and and kick it. Such a weird day
because the the Trayvon Diggs News Cowboys Corner. We'll get
into this a little bit later in the show. But
he's at his house and somehow has an incident and
(05:07):
gets a concussion, and now we'll not be able to
play in the game on Sunday because he got hurt
at his house. I don't want to jump to conclusions,
but that's how Ace freely died. God right, it was
concussed at as studio.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, the brain bleeds.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So it seems like a fake story. And I've seen
a lot of people bringing up fake sports stories with injuries.
Derek Collin tripping on his dog. Yeah, people were like,
what is that Clarence Hill. I think it was Clarence
Hill and he tweeted out, remember the time des Bryant
said he'd cut his hand cutting carrots, Yes, and that
that was not true. So what happened there? And so
Dez retweeted him and said, come on, Clarence, everybody knows
(05:43):
you don't cut carrots at that steakhouse. It was a
It was a weird soup too.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It was a carrot soup, which.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Was raise your hand if you've had carrot soup this week? Anybody? Yeah,
you drove. Some people were just looking to get off
on the snap because he goes, raise your hands something
I'm in. They're all offside. It might be given something away. Okay,
So man, I have got chaos going on in my life.
I want to tell you about it real quick. And
that is with my phone. This bottom part of my
(06:14):
phone is not working. The plug in is not working. Oh,
that's going to run out of juice and so it's
hard to charge. And then also I've realized how reliant
I am on it when I'm driving on it, because
I'm using it for navigation and I'm taking phone calls.
And if you plug this into Apple car Play, what
it shows you on your phone is just the written
(06:35):
directions but what it shows you on Apple car Play
is a picture of the map. That's what I need.
You need the map. I need the map. And so
I'm in all these weird driving situations and dealing with
my phone, and it's like, I am guaranteed to get
in a wreck. I'm gonna need the Frankles. I'm pretty
sure that is a That is a legit. Problem for
me too is when they ride out the directions as
you're passing your exit, they want you to take a rite. Yes,
(06:57):
you know what I'm saying. So I do need to
see the map, and I have become dependent on just
I don't even look it up anymore. I just punch
it in and just go. Yeah. If it sends you,
like to another state, you're like, I'm sorry it sent
me here. I don't know what to do. I had
that problem with the original Roy Hutchin's Barbecue yesterday. I
drove by it like four times. So I feel your pain. Man.
I think that's just some old man stuff. It is
(07:20):
some old man stuff. And I was like, so I
called Apple last night or whatever, and they are a ATC.
They were like, look, here's the deal. This phone is
a year old because this is the one I lost
in Vegas. Oh yeah, and then I had to go
buy a new phone in Vegas. So they're like, yeah,
you know your warranties whatever, it's going to be pretty expensive.
But they or you can already upgrade. Do an early
(07:41):
upgrade for one hundred and seventeen dollars already to the
newer model. I'm like, why wouldn't I just do that?
Do it? So I drove I'm driving out here to
Plucker's City View, and I was like, where's the closest
AT and T store? So it sent me over to
Fort Worth. I'm like, I don't know if i'll have
time for this on what do you think about this
decision making? I went into an AT and T store
at about two twenty two, and you had no idea
(08:02):
where Pluckers was, right, and I was probably thirty minutes
away from Pluckers. Okay, our show starts at three. How
long does it take to buy a new phone and
have them transfer everything? Oh yeah, plenty of times. Don't
worry about it. YEA a couple minutes, right, you'll show
up at four thirty. Right, So anyways, I'm playing hurt today.
I don't have a full power phone happening. You know, well,
(08:22):
your shirt'll carry you through. That's great, like very much
what you call that design? Earlier kat I thought it
looked like there was some uh like lizards on it.
He said, yeah, that must have been what he said. Yeah, yeah,
you did the first part rhymes or something. Yeah, you
were talking about the gizzards.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It is the world famous Spin and Skin show. So
excited to be out of here at Pluckers City, but
