Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jack ganon government sucks. The Suit of Happiness Radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile. Or a suit
of happiness us on your radio toel Justice, cheeseburgers, lib fries.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This will cheer you up a little bit. An Alabama
woman just received a pig kidney. Who knew Nancy Pelosi
was an organ doner? Hi, thanks for turning on the
radio and getting connected. I'm Kenny Webster. Today on the show,
Jesse Peyton's stopping by. Local stand up comedian, foul mouthed comic,
right wing comedian will be here, and local George is
stopping by. Who's out. He's a real estate guy and

(00:45):
I owe him a favor. No, I'm just kidding. He's
a friend of mine and we're gonna talk a little
bit about the best of Houston this holiday season. So say, hang,
he's a good friend. And you know, just it's that
time of year again. You like talking to your buddies
and figuring out what to do out in the exciting
world that is Texas for example. And if you are
one of those people that's shopping this holiday season, you
might have noticed stuff is particularly expensive.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I don't know why, but they say.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
According to a new study at wallet hub dot dot com,
the most festive and affordable Christmas city is Atlanta, followed
by Pittsburgh and Seattle. And I definitely don't want to
go to at least one of those three cities or
any of those airports. Nobody, God help you if you're
stuck at the Atlanta airport on Christmas. That sounds horrible.
The bottom of the list was North Las Vegas. I

(01:33):
guess the way that they determined all this. Oh, here's
some holly jolly Christmas.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Here is the most wonderful time.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, you feel festive now, don't you. Okay, So apparently
here's how they figure this out. They looked at weather,
cost of festivities, shopping for Christmas presents, that sort of thing.
And one of the things we've determined is that actually,
when you really take a good look at it, most
of the Blue States not very holly jolly this Christmas.
There's a reason why praypartok today reporting that Biden inflation

(02:02):
is still exploding your food prices. And I think that's
a problem for average folks who want to, you know,
eat much less enjoy a holly jolly merry feast on Christmas.
We've been told for the past few years inflation was
what do they call it, transitory? It will stabilize, it'll disappear.
Because Joe Biden's so awesome and good at economics. Obviously,
he's a great guy at handling the economy. That's why

(02:24):
he's never had a job in the private sector. Listen
to this far left CNN reports quote wholesale prices for
chicken eggs swored by fifty five percent last month, and
wholesale food for a rose by three point one percent.
That's the highest monthly increase in two years. Liberals will
listen to this and be like, yeah, you think Donald
Trump's going to bring the cost of things down. Nobody

(02:47):
thinks he's going to bring the cost of everything down.
We just want the cost of everything to stop going
up so rapidly. That's all this is really about. And
because a Democrat is still in office, we are then
immediately told by CNN quote economists.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Not to panic.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
The eggflation in sudden price heights in some major food
categories are reflections of isolated incidents. Isolated incidents that keep
happening over and over again every week in America since
Joe Biden took office.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
You believe that, right, of course you do.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Economists always tell us not to worry when a Democrat
is president, and you never have to wear a condom
when you have sex with Bill Clinton.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It's fine. Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Prosperity is right around the corner, don't you see. Here's
some more from the same report. Quote, overall grocery price
inflation is relatively tame. It's essentially in line the once
in a generation bout of high inflation will stop as
soon as the war Ukraine ends. Other events are also
affecting it. Yeah, other events, they say, other events. Gee,

(03:47):
what what do you think those other events could be?
If you had to guess? Apparently those other events stand
in for how I don't know. Seinfeld characters often say
things like YadA YadA YadA, Beth.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Hey, Arnie's just as upset. Oh Screwhan, listen to this.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Massie comes over and she tells me that our ex
boyfriend was over late last night, and YadA, YadA YadA.
I'm really tired today. You don't think sid YadA YadA sex.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I've YadA YadA sex. Yeah, I met this lawyer. We
went out to dinner. I had the lobster bisk.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
We went back to my.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Place, YadA, YadA, YadA. I never heard from him again.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Allow me to tell you what those other events are. Right,
to tell you other events are affecting.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
The Ukraine War, where we get almost none of our
food or goods or manufacture anything, isn't actually causing that
much inflation. I think what's causing inflation? And I know
this is gonna sound crazy. I think it's that Inflation
Reduction Act. Yeah, you remember that, that thing that's supposed
to reduce inflation. Turns out it didn't actually made it
much worse. The bill that's spent and wasted a fortune

(04:56):
on climbing nonsense. It was actually the Green New Deal,
but nobody wanted Green New Deal, so they changed the
name to Build Back Better Bill, and nobody wanted Build
Back Better Bill. Hell, Biden couldn't even say Build Back
Better Bill without studying for an hour and having a seizure.
So finally they changed the name of the Inflation Reduction Act,
a bill that would spend and waste millions of dollars.
And let's not forget Biden's war on domestic energy production.

(05:19):
He decided you know what we ought to do. Quit
drilling for oil. What do they call it? Opek, decide
how much your energy bill is going to cost. And
of course Russia and on came the war and Islamic
terrorism in places like Israel, because it turns out when
those Muslims and Russians have a lot of money, they
spend it on killing people. Yeah, I know, so to
some extent you can almost say, like, if we had

(05:41):
just drilled for oil here in America, there'd be less
violence and killing in the world. It's kind of like
when Luigi Mangione couldn't get laid so he went out
and murdered people, which is kind of messed up, which
means all chicks have to do to keep people from
getting murdered.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Is you get the idea anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Something else the media always forgets to mention is this
thing called accumulated And do you know what accumulated inflation is? Well,
neither did I, so I looked it up. We're told
inflation is slowing. That means the cost of goods that
month will still increase, but increase by a lower percentage
than the previous month.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
The cost is still going up.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
They'll tell you inflation's getting reduced, but actually it's still bad.
It's just not as bad as it was a few
days ago. But what do you carry? It's still expensive
for you. Last month, I paid seven dollars for a
bag of burritos Dorito's. Excuse me, seven dollars burrito wouldn't
be that. No, seven dollars for Dorito's is a lot.
Eggs cost at least three dollars a dozen the last
time I bought some twelve pack of coke soda pop,

(06:35):
whatever you call it.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
That jump from three dollars to ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
But don't despair over the corporate media is YadA YadA
yadaing over basic economics. Once Republican Democrat Republican Donald Trump
is back in office, I'm assuming the media will magically
become more economically literate again. Suddenly they will understand inflation,
and they'll blame Donald Trump for a problem that didn't
exist the last time he was president.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Kenny has always thought the best things in life are free,
free plus tax, of course, Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
YadA YadA, YadA, YadA YadA.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Hi, Greetings everybody, if you're getting connected to this.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Video you did. You're there, You're connected.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Hello to everybody on book Face and Graham of Insta
and AX. We won't make fun of Axex's just AX. Weirdly,
I don't think X is working?

Speaker 3 (07:27):

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I hate when it doesn't work right, I hate when
it doesn't work right. No, No, it's working. Okay, good,
we're connected. Hi everybody, Greetings. We're on the radio right
now and we're also in Liven Studio with this guy,
Jesse Payton is here, stand up comedian extraordinaiy Jesse Peyton hosting.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
You are headlining not.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
This Friday, but next Friday at the Improv in Houston,
Couples Therapy.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
That's a good venue, the flagship of comedy in Texas.
So yeah, it's a couple's Therapy. December twenty seventh. It's
gonna be by eighteenth time headline in the Houston improvlem
stoked to be back.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
You will become something of a local hero for stand
up comedy enthusiast. We recently did our operation Comedy Therapy
Jesse Payton and Friends Walton and Johnson present. It has
three or four different names for the event because we
could never agree on it right, But this year we
raised over.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Twenty five yeah, almost thirty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
It was awesome for which which can pay Thanks God
and Joe Biden's economy.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
That could pay for exactly one wheelchair.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
Yes, and half a tanky guest to get there, which
I think we were pissed away on our way to
get to the event.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
But anyway, thank you for doing that. That's so much fun, Ken.
What is Couple's Therapy?

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Couple's Therapy is a relationship theme comedy show. And I
know what people always ask me. They're like, Jesse, are
you even married?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
And no, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
But then they're like, are you good at therapy? Well,
also no, but it is funny, but we have a
good time. It's a relationship theme parody comedy show where
we get three stand up comics come on stage. We
all do our stand up bits about our relationships, our wives,
our ex wives, dating, whatnot.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's just a lot of fun. It's a perfect date
night show.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
The cool thing about this show is at the end
of the show, we take questions from the audience that
they submit on index cards. They can be relationship questions.
Some of them are like real questions, you know, like
a woman will be like, hey, how come my husband
doesn't hold my hand in public anymore? And as comedians,
we make it funny and it's me and three of
the funniest comics in Texas.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
We do that.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
And some of the male questions are also serious, like
how come my wife won't give me a threesome every Friday?

Speaker 3 (09:27):
You know, when we try to solve these problems, that's
what we do.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
We try to Well, she was going to have the
three somebody was awkward having your brother in the room.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
It was I know, like I almost had a threesome yesterday.
I was just two people short.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's it. Jesse. Well, Jesse Payton is here.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Jesse is one of the funniest comedians in Houston, Texas.
But Jesse, you you know, I want to be a
little transparent here.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Jason.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Jesse is also a friend of mine.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I did not love getting divorced, but I will admit
now that I'm divorced, I am very happy now. And
you were a good friend of mine that helped me
get through my divorce. I stumble down this article a
friend of another friend of mine, and Austin Peterson, sent
me this article he's a dad, he's married, he's a
happy guy, doesn't have the problems you and I have.
It's a New York Times article with the following headline.
I'll hold it up to here because I don't this

(10:10):
is what. It looks great on the camera, it looks terrible.
The headline is how our messed up dating culture leads
to loneliness, anger, and Donald Trump. I was triggered by
the article by the headline, and then I read the article,
and I actually agreed.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
With a lot of it. Here's a summary of it
if I was AI.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
This is an article that explains how women today are
liberated from their traditional gender norms, but men are still
expected to act the way we acted in the eighteen hundreds.
Men are still supposed to earn more, pay for everything,
open the door, all that. But women don't have to.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Follow those old rules anymore.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
And this is a little bit like what you're talking
about at the event, isn't it It is?

Speaker 4 (10:49):
And we just like we said, we make the concept
of dating, marriage and the peripheral things of it. We
just make it funny, and we talk about our own
personal experiences. I've been divorced for four years now, so
I did head the divorced forty year old white guy
thing for you, Ken.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I did that just so I could be a mentor
to you.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
So we go up and basically it is a comedy show,
and I like to always be clear about that. We
do kind of make a parody of relationships, dating and
things like that. So it is entertainment purposes only, which
is ironic because this is a real story. I had
a guy in Mandevil, Louisiana come up to me after
the show. A couples therapy came by himself and he's like, hey, buddy,

(11:29):
will you sign this?

Speaker 3 (11:30):
And I'm like, dude, all autograph whatever you want anywhere
else why?

Speaker 4 (11:33):
And it was a court ordered community service to do
therapy as part as a condition of his parole. And
he was like, can you sign this was the best
therapy that I've ever done. And I was like, dude,
you're going to prison, yeah that this doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I was like, we did sex jokes for forty five minutes.
You're in trouble.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, so if you But these guys that have court
ordered they have to go to therapy, they have to
go to AA usually Yeah, you understand the the trick
it's alcoholics anonymous. So the judge, I'm told this is
how it was explaining to me. The judge gives you
a sheet because you got a dui or you got
caught with Matt or whatever it was, and you have
to go to narcotics anonymous.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
You have to go to ten meetings or twenty meetings.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Usually what these junkies and alcoholics figure out is after
the third or fourth meeting, it's called anonymous. They're never
gonna be They can't legally go and check if you
were really there, so people will just write.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Anything on it.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
So when you signed it for him, weirdly, Jesse, he
probably that probably did work in court for him.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
It probably did, so I you know what, and I
just love that I'm out here doing the Lord's work
for couples.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
So that was that was super kind to you. That
was it.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
It was a really sweet thing. What was the thing
about getting divorced? What did you not expect?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
You know? Did you that you liked?

Speaker 4 (12:45):
It was the best time of my life because I
had money and I was single, and you know, I
was a stable so it was unlike when I was married.
You know, it was the freedom of it and I
didn't have an ugly divorce. It was kind of a
a me. Me and my wife just kind of grew apart.
We didn't fight, We never fought. We had four fights
our whole marriage. But I knew the tough part was
ken that I knew my wife was my best friend,

(13:07):
and I knew she was my best friend because she
would not have sex with me, and like we got
friend zoned at the altar and she would brag to
her friends like that I was her best friend, and
she would say, like, I'm not going to mess this
up with sex.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
So so that was that. So you don't talk to
her anymore.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
All right, Well, sex is a hot topic of conversation,
sex and sexual frustration in the zeitgeist of the world
of news. You like, how I throw that word out
there because of this guy, Luigi Mangione. Basically he looks
like James Franco with a unibrow. Ye imagine the insanity
of this Jesse. This guy was having back pain and
he couldn't have sex, so it drove him to go murder.

(13:43):
He supposedly that was the thing that caused him to
do it. Now he's been charged with first and second
degree murder. Plus terrorism, and this has caused women and
gay men, mostly on the left. Probably the same women
that were like boycotting sex because they were mad about
the election are now saying they want to.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
Have sex with this dude. What do you think this
tells thirteen year olds? Imagine you're a fourteen year old boy.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
You just breathe on it, you know, and you get
aroused and you're watching the news and you find out, wait,
this women want to have sex with this guy because
he murdered.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Feels like it's the wrong lesson to teach people. It does.
I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
I hate that it was that propagated in that in
that direction as well, because I mean, we can all
empathize with, you know. I mean the medical field, you know,
in a lot of ways is difficult to deal with.
I mean, I don't have intro I don't know what
you guys know about stand up comedy. But this doesn't
come with blue cross, blue shield really, you know. Yeah,
I'm never gone to an urgent care when they were
like Jesse, it's chlamydia.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
I'm never like I'm coming back and.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
Blowing this place up, you know, like, no, you just
take you just take a week off and you know,
get back in the game.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
All right, So there's another thing. I'm going a little
dirty laundry on the air right now. Yeah, when you're
divorced and you have a sex wife. When you're married,
it doesn't matter, right, you get a blood test once year.
It doesn't matter when you're divorced. You get from time
to time you want to know, right, I was like,
I've been singing some one you're curious if you're clean
or whatever, so you get the venereal disease test, right, right?

(15:04):
Do you ever think about how we don't market that
the right.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Way and what in what? In what regards?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I've never won the lottery, but I bought a lottery ticket, right,
I've never failed a you know, a venereal disease test,
but I've done that. When I get the results back
from my venereal disease test, I feel like I won
the lottery.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm like, that's funny, do you know what I mean.
I'm like, hooray.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
We ought to have the ads like that, like you
could be a winner, instead of making it seem grim
and glump. You know, why don't we market it like Hey,
imagine if you didn't have chlamydia.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
How excited would you? Well, I won? Can you just
triggered me because you made it a pass or fail?
And I think I think a STD test is a spectrum.
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
It is a spectrum. Like you didn't you didn't get HIV,
like just chlamydia. Like I feel like, hey, I didn't
win the grand prize, but I feel like that's a
I feel like I won a twenty dollars scratcher. Right.
That's a bad analogy. Scratcher is a bad pun. Right there,
I'm busy, but.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
That's what I'm talking about, right, Like, maybe the real
problem here, maybe the real way to stop venarial disease
just market it a little bit differently.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I concur yeah, because I yeah, there's a well I
treat STDs like I treated COVID ye, Like as long
as I didn't get tested for it, I couldn't have it.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
No, thank you.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
That's exactly my point. All right, men and women are
not the same. Jesse, You and I were just watching
this video here off the air, and I want to
show this to our listeners watching us on social media.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
This.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm not on TikTok, but I'm TikTok adjacent because I'm
on Twitter, so I learned what went viral on TikTok
about a week later. Apparently, women on TikTok are a
gas shocked to learn that they've been pumping gas the
wrong way. Now I would have explained this to them
had I known they not understood it. For those of
you that are watching us on social media, you could
see we're looking at an image right now of a

(16:48):
gas pump. But if you're listening to us on the radio,
you don't understand. As I hit play here, the camera
pans over from the gas pump to the gas to
the car itself. Here, let me play that again. This
woman says, I was today years old when I figured
this out.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I'm gonna pause it right here.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
She was shocked to learn that right here, there's a
little device on every gas pump handle that allows it
to lock so it'll keep pumping gas for you. Now,
I would have assumed that everybody on earth knew that
was a thing. Apparently, Jesse women, average women our age
are probably younger, didn't know about this. This is shocking.

(17:25):
This went viral only because they had no idea.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
They didn't know. Because they keep trying to say chivalry
is dead and it's not. That just proves they don't
pump their own guests. And we're still doing what we
did in the eighteen hundreds. We're pumping gas for them.
But they didn't know that this was even a thing.
So Jesse Payton has explained it perfectly.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
America, the land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation,
Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
This is interesting.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Taco Bell has added chicken nuggets to their menu. It's
for customers who are so high they think they're at KFC,
because what else could it be? Why is why chicken
nuggets at Taco Bell? Did we need that?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Well? I mean, what the weird trend?

Speaker 4 (18:08):
I know it's funny you correlate KFC with Taco Bell
because why do Why is it all Hispanic people that
work at KFC and black people that work at Taco Bell?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Are they scared they're gonna eat the food? Like? Is
that what it is?

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Maybe that's why there's chicken nuggets because every time you
go to a Taco Bell, it's all but there's no
there's not one Hispanic dude in there. But when you
go to KFC, it's all Hispanics.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I was in California recently. I went to a like
a ramen and sushi restaurant and I walk inside. My
rule for Asian food when you walk in the restaurant,
if you don't see any Asian people.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Eating there, you're not in a good restaurant, right the
hell out? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
So I walk in Asian people sitting everywhere. I'm like,
all right, this is good. This is good. I sit
down at the table, look at the menu, sushi, rolls, machi, ramen.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
I'm like, all right, it's in. You know, it's Asian food,
you know, West Coast.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
And then and then the waiter comes up and I
look up and his name Skyler Bryson or whatever.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
He's like he's a surfer guy, kind of looks like
to be honest, it's like, hey, what's up, welcome to
the ramen ball? What can I get for you?

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (19:04):
How about an Asian dude? Dude? I was I'd never
seen anything like it.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
There's a white guy working at an Asian restaurant and
Asian people are actually eating this food.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
That doesn't If that doesn't blow your mind, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Well that happened to me in Tacoma too, because I
was at a hotel we were doing the Tacoma Comedy
Club and I had a white housekeeper. I'm like, we're
way too far north or way too far north. They're
way too progressive here to have a to have Karen
cleaning my clean in my hotel room.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
What is going to happen now if these mass deportations happen. Look,
I don't want to sound racist, but I love me
some Tamali's.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Can that be the litmus test? Can that be the
barometric reading? If you can make Tomali's, you could stay.
For those that are watching us that are not from Texas,
it's that time of year. It's Tamali time every holiday season.
Every Christmas, you're cleaning, lady shows up the janitor or whatever.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
They're selling Tamali's.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Look, I don't want to sound racist, but that's exactly
what you buy Tamali's from the person that cleans your bathroom.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
And is it not the best of all you've ever had?
The best in the world.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Because my ex wife would put cream a mushroom in
her enchiladas and I was like, you do not deserve
to be married, young lady at all. You don't at
a at all. And then I was reading books on marriage.
At the time, it was COVID. We were locked down together.
So I found a really good book on marriage that
changed my perspective. It was called If I Did It
by Oj Simpson. It's a phenomenal book on marriage. Indy's great.

(20:25):
They let him go, Ken, they let him go. That
is an interesting point. You know, I bet Oj actually
wrote that book. There's a Michelle Obama's got a book
out right now. She's out promoting.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Have you.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I know, we said we weren't going to talk about
politics today, and technically this isn't political because Michelle Obama
said she wouldn't talk about politics either during an interview.
I'm gonna put something on the screen here for you,
and I'm gonna mute the mics just for a minute.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Because I want Jesse to be able to hear this.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Michelle Obama, who just a month ago went around telling
everybody that the world is going to end if Donald
Trump wins. Orange Hitler, YadA, YadA, YadA, is now out
promoting a book she just wrote, and she's out promoting
a juice line that she's got.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
So Orange Hitler is gonna kill us.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
But weirdly, watching this video makes me think she doesn't
actually believe that. All right, So, first of all, isn't
that amazing they got all these white people to learn

(21:30):
the lyrics to a Stevie Wonder song and then change
the lyrics. So it's about Michelle Obama, but also Jesse.
Why is she dancing?

Speaker 3 (21:38):
It's white? Orange Hitler is coming. I don't understand this.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
I didn't even know that was a Michelle Obama. I
thought that was Lebron James after they won the championship.
I thought he was celebrating. Well, there's a.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Video that just went viral of Lebron James kissing a
dude in Paris, and apparently that is AI, and I
wonder is it possible that this is Ai?

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Is that possible? Maybe? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
That's I'm just glad she's got her penis covered up,
so that makes me feel good about all right?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Why have we look I'm not one of those people
that throws gas on that fire that conspiracy theory, But
why have we never seen a picture of her pregnant?
There's no photos of pregnant Michelle Obama anywhere, but I'm
not saying she's trans. I'm just saying if she had
two babies, there should be a pregnancy photos.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Yeah, you would think that's the bump. I don't know.
Did she get a surrogate or what? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Maybe she didn't carry, maybe she was the Maybe maybe
she wasn't the egg, Maybe she was the sperm.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Does Michelle Obama run for office in a couple of
years or is that? I mean, why would she want to?
Wouldn't she think she'd rather just do this?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah? I don't There's no way. I don't think she
could win. How could she win? I don't care.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Why wouldn't it have been her instead of Kamala? They
just appointed who they wanted. Anyway, You picked the least
likable person on the planet.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Over you, Well, you're onto something there.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Is it possible they picked Kamala because this was a
throwaway election. They're like, we're gonna lose anyway, and Kamala
is now twenty million dollars in debt.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
How do you come back from that? Yeah? I don't
think it was the throwaway.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
My take is this, like Donald Trump is probably the
most polarizing person ever in office, and this was this
shot they had to win. I personally believe that we're
going to be we're at the beginning of about five
or six conservative winners in a row in these next administrations.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
That's my person believe.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I mean now that the Republican Party is the party
of the working class. I mean it feels like, you know,
for the last twenty or thirty years, the Democrats were
Since the end of Rangan they say the Democrats are
a little more popular, and.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Now we see it kind of feels like it's going
in the other direct.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Ensulum's finally swinging back. I think post COVID, when we
had COVID in the mass and the lockdown in the
vaccine and George Floyd and all of those things that
were super polarizing, you were scared to speak out and
say that you were conservative, right leaning. And I'm not
even one hundred percent right, I'm pretty libertarian. I'm kind
of in the middle on a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
But most of us. But when you say, hey, there's
two genders, they're like, you're racist.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
And I'm like, oh my god, no I'm not. And
they're like, did you know what happened to George Floyd?
And COVID and you hate lives and you're you know,
and you were so scared to do those things. But
now there were no conservative comedians. There were no conservative
comedians five years ago.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Do you know that.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I want to talk about that, but first I want
your reaction to this, because the comedy thing I think
is valid. I think the fact that people like you
and Chad Prather and Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle are
making fun of trainees and hey, I think that that's
had a big effect on things. But to your point,
the COVID thing, these these videos are still going viral.
You know, a woman's driving uber. Hang on, is this
on the screen? And let me get this on the screen.

(24:30):
A woman's out driving uber with a mask on, and
she thinks that she's cool because she's kicking people out
of her uber for not wearing a mask and then
post the video online to shame people. And by the way,
this has nothing to do with white liberals. Is there
anything this woman looks hispanic? There's a black lady in
the backseat. Black people are sick. Look, she's kicking her
out because she doesn't have a mask. Isn't that some

(24:50):
It's twenty twenty four people are still wearing masks.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
She has a cage in her car like she's law enforcement.
So you're scared of everything. So I just don't know
what the fear is. So why you be an uber driver?
If you're that paranoid?

Speaker 3 (25:03):
It's insane. It's insanity, all right.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
We all talk about how the border inflation groceries, how
that affected stuff, trains and sports, how that affected this election.
Don't you think the fact that comedians have basically been
rejected by the left, and you guys all have to
you know, you happen to have vaguely right wing conservative beliefs,
like you just pointed out. But can you even be
a comedian and be on the left anymore? Everyone hates

(25:26):
smug leftist comics.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
The funny thing is, Ken you know what I did
your show in twenty eighteen, I think, and I didn't
even know what conservative and liberal was back then. If
you remember the first time I came on air, you
said conservative talk radio.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
And I'm like, cool, what's that?

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Literally didn't know I called conservativism common sense.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
I just thought it was just normal common sense stuff.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
So there's I don't like comics who scream and cry
about cancel culture, because Ricky Gervais had a great point.
Ricky Gervay said, there's no such thing as cancel culture.
You can say whatever you want, you can do whatever
you want, and people can react to it however they want,
and you can deal with the consequences of that reaction
however you want. And that's kind of what I've founded
my my career on where there's a lot of people

(26:07):
who call me racist and conservative and a Trump supporter,
and you know, they say, I support Trump, uh, just
because I love him and I think he's awesome, and
I sell his merch and I endorse him everywhere I go.
If that makes me a supporter, then okay. But I
call it common sense. But I think all woke, most
woke agendas, they're just funny.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Trans people are funny. You're a man with a lipstick
in your mud. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. Hilarious, dude.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
You know, I think I think there's but I think
everything should be tabled. I think you should be able
to make a joke about Christians and white people and
black people, and I would agree with straight people too,
you know. And I think my one of my favorite
comics is a liberal guy. You know that, Jeffrey Asimus.
He's so funny. Yeah, I've met him.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
I've talked to him. He's hilarious. We were at the
show together.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
We went to that show show and I don't care
what your political beliefs are. Comedy I think should be
exempt from you know, we don't go on stage and
say the things we believe. We go on stage and
say things that we think will make you laugh. And
that's what we try to do. I don't say the things.
I don't go up there and say I have a
joke about I accidentally sent my mom a picture of
my penis and I thought it would be weird, but
she just sent me a naked picture back.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
And that's silly. It's that is a small part of
a great bit.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Actually, Hey on the radio, we're about to run out
of time, but for those of you that are watching
us on social media, don't go anywhere. We're not going anywhere,
but because we'll do a little more bonus right now.
But if you are watched listening on the radio, where
can people go? Check you out at?

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Jesse is Funny on Instagram, Jesse Payton Comedy on Facebook,
TikTok Jesse Payton for twenty follow me on all of
those platforms. Anytime you google my first and last name,
it's gonna pop up and Houston Improv December twenty seventh,
Come see me live all right host in Texas.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
That is a week from this Friday. I'm gonna be there.
Jesse's a good friend. For those of you that have
seen him do stand up before. The show he's doing
next Friday at the Improv is a little different than
He's a normal thing because it's called Couples Therapy. It's
more interactive. It's a lot of fun. Earlier this year, you,
me and Chad Prather did a thing on January sixth
where we just did crowd work, which means you make

(28:02):
fun of people in the crowd.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
And it was called the Crowd Boys.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
And on January sixth, I thought that was the funniest
name of any comedy show I've ever been a part
of before.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
Can't I caught so much hell for the term crowd
Boys on January sixth, But the show sold out. We
had two hundred and fifteen people at a room that
holds one hundred and eighty. It was amazing. The show
went great, and look for that again too, Houston. We're
gonna bring crowd Boys back. It's gonna be a fun show.
I would love to do Crowd Boys again.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
And by the way, it was at a comedy club
that generally is occupied by a lot of liberals normally.
But if so, if you are watching us on social media,
don't go anywhere. We're sticking around right now. If you're
listening to us on the radio, Local George is coming
up next with stories of Houston squatters.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Stick around for that. Retweet this video.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Don't go anywhere in pursuit of that penis radio coming
now to speaker.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Whoa, we are looking jolly indeed here, ladies and gentlemen,
Thanks so much for tuning in Christmas time here the
KPORC Radio. It's good to be the I got a
guest in studio, my buddy Local George just walked in.
Local George. You are kind of a local celebrity realtor.
And then in addition to that, you're also what's going on?
Why are you moving the camera?

Speaker 3 (29:14):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
There?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Is keep the camera straight here, move in the middle. There,
there you go. That's how that goes. Sit in front
of it.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
There you go. You look good. Why are you so nervous, George?
I'm tad.

Speaker 7 (29:23):
I love the microphones. I love to be on camera.
This is where I belong.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
You do belong on camera. Absolutely. You're a marine's right.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
And you're also a local business owner here in Houston, Texas.
And George, I had questions for you. George is just
a good friend of mine. And George and I. George
is actually my realtor. And I bought things, but we
became friends. We purchased guns and narcotics and things like
that together, as friends often do. And you are a
guy who manages property, and you have gone viral on

(29:53):
the internet before for some very unusual reasons.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
Squatters, that's right, yeah, squatters. Why are there squatters? Why
there's so many squatters in Houston, George? Well, for one,
in Texas, the squatters have unbelievable rights here, and then
of course the court system here in Harris County helps
them out stay in the houses. It's pretty amazing. But yeah,
I've had to But I have a fairly unique approach
when dealing with the extreme squatter situations, probably the one

(30:21):
that was last year when the house was occupied probably
no less than ten people each day, and these were
hardcore drug using.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
We're part of town. This is over Spring Branch area,
so not a bad part of town.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Now.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
That was ien and a beltway right over in that
area right.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
There, presumably that's like right near some average housing, some
nice housing, and some less than nice houses.

Speaker 7 (30:43):
These were some older homes, but in a nice neighborhood
house probably worth you know, four or five hundred thousand,
but I.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Think that's a lot. Yeah, it was a three bedroom,
too bad.

Speaker 7 (30:51):
But the guy that was squatting and he actually had
grown up there, but his mom was bedridden and he
was ad dick to heroin and meth and he started
letting rug addicts come in there. Next thing, you know,
the house just turns into just a disgusting uh you
know how you know, trap house?

Speaker 3 (31:08):
What you call it? What happened to mom?

Speaker 7 (31:09):
Well, mom, the cousin hired me. We moved Mom out
to a nursing home, and then the house just just
just went downhill from there. There had been a murder
in there, a few murder in the backyard a few
months earlier, a suicide earlier that year.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
In the house late, and there was this one room.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
I always thought it was like catch up stains on
the ceiling, and I never pay attention. Later on I
fed out it was the blood from the guy that
committed suicide.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Jesus, sure, yeah it was. It is dark, but it
was unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (31:43):
And then the uh, they would i'd but but I
kind of went in undercover with you know, a fake
name and a fake cover story. I said, oh, yeah,
I'm from the church down the road. We're gonna try
to help get the house fixed up a little bit.
But I'd go in there a little bit each day,
and I found out if you ever knocked on the door,
then they'd freak out or not you don't belong there,
So I would just walk right in and uh and

(32:04):
just start working.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
That's a secret to getting into a spotter's home, just
walking or a trap house, any house.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
If you start knocking on the door, they're like, WHOA,
who is that? But people that belong there just walk in.
So that's the trick to anything. George, that is so funny.
I would have never thought of that. That's very clever, and.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
I would record.

Speaker 7 (32:21):
I was secretly video record and I've seen some of
it on social media, right right, Yeah, I would. I
would record the interactions, but then I would actually start
sitting down and kind of connecting with them. I would say, hey, look,
I don't judge you. I'm the least perfect person in
the world. And I'd start kind of asking them, Hey,
where'd you grow up? Where you're from? And a lot
of these people actually had normal lives and then got

(32:43):
hooked on. They were functioning heroin addicts, meth addicts, and
then at some point it just.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Went downhill from there.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
And uh, I mean there was a girl she had
been a school teacher. You could tell she was real
pretty at one time, got hooked on the meth and
then they become street people. But the house was just
full of stolen stuff. I mean, they had their own
little you know, uh, you know, shops. There was one
guy he'd steal every bicycle in town. The backyard just

(33:09):
had hundreds of bicycles in it.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
But one time the most two white people still ride bikes.

Speaker 7 (33:15):
I noticed, you know, homeless people do crackheads hero So okay,
just curious. I got two thousand dollars bicle buy you
a couple hits a meth.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
I guess it.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Seems like two kinds of people ride bikes, very healthy
people and very unhealthy people.

Speaker 7 (33:31):
That's right. But I'll tell you the worst one of
the worst things I witnessed when I was there. I
walked in on Saturday morning and I was there just
saying hello. And while I was on one side of
the house, there was this couple that had that he
was abusive to her, but this girl was just stuck
with the guy. Young couple, probably in their late twenties.
I'm over on the other side of the house. I
come walking, you know, walking back in.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I'm in the living room. The girl comes running in.

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Look what he did to me. Look what he did
to me. Her hands had these rope her wrists had
rope burns on them. The guy had her tied up
to a tree on the other side of the house. Jesus,
it was beating her. While I was there. In the
minute I saw that, I was like, Cassie, hey, you know,
you got to get out of here. You got to
go somewhere. She didn't want any help, and she took
off on her bike. But I told that guy said, look,

(34:17):
you've crossed the line. I don't care about y'all using
drugs in front of me and things like that.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
But I said, if I see you here again, I
will kill you.

Speaker 7 (34:24):
And he stayed away from then on, but I'd always
see him down the street hanging out when i'd come over.
But yeah, man, it was ridiculous that, you know, a
guy beat a girl while I was there on the premises.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
No, I guess yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I know what's weird about this is you'd think that
these would be the worst neighborhoods in Houston.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Usually, they're average neighborhoods. I had a condo way out
on the West Side near the Energy corridor, right. You
helped me sell it. It was my first home, kind
of cheap when I bought it. I fixed it up.
I tried to make it a little nicer. And then
when I sold it, we learned that across the street
there was someone running an illegal dent that's right.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
They were running a dentist office.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
It was an illegal dentist office, illegal dentist office out
of their living right across the street from.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
And they got arrested for it.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
We were closing on the house getting I mean, we
were selling it and then we find out someone's getting
arrested across the street and they were I think from
another country or something.

Speaker 7 (35:17):
Is something I'm amazed at how many illegal dentist offices
run out of people's homes.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
I hear about it every few months. You know what's
so weird about that?

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Dental work compared to metal compared to medical work, not
very expensive compared to medical work.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Right, But you don't see people unless only the plastic
surgery thing.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Some of these people are doing illegal butt lift surgeries
around the city.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
You don't know.

Speaker 7 (35:38):
I thing I think is that these are doctors that
come here from other countries possibly, or maybe they work
for a doctor.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
You know.

Speaker 7 (35:44):
Again, maybe it's not a real once you learn how
to do it, and then they're quite entrepreneurial people.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
But typically they're not from here.

Speaker 7 (35:51):
Yeah, that's kind of the thing about it, right, because
this stuff doesn't It doesn't usually happen in the United States,
but I guess sometimes it does. Right, So you have
have you ever been arrested while you were trying to
do property management?

Speaker 3 (36:04):
No? No, I have. Luckily you know I I I.

Speaker 7 (36:09):
Can operate in the Gray area but I definitely, you know,
whatever I'm doing, I'm making sure that either a there's
no witnesses or be there's plausible deniability. But for the
most part, I can. It's a big psychological warfare with them,
so you know, I get them to think certain things
are going to happen and plant seeds of doubt. Just

(36:30):
don't make blatant threats.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
No one likes a.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Threat, no, But if you just start acting like you're
helping them out, then you're dropping seeds of in their
head of bad things that can happen.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Then they, you know, they'll start to listen a little bit.

Speaker 7 (36:43):
But I've never actually gone busted in and physically grab
someone and throw them out, you know.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Like I said, I play my games, they play theirs.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Right.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
That's it, right there, that's right, all right.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
There's a report today in the Chronicle, well technically it's
at cron dot com, and it's about real estate.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
So I wanted to ask you about this.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I read a report a while ago after the pandemic
had set in downtown Manhattan, a little more than half
of the high rise the offices were unoccupied, and that
made a lot of people think there might be a
real estate crash at some point.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Apparently that's corrected itself a little bit.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
This this work from home thing that a lot of
corporate America was doing, Apparently it's not happening as much now,
but it's still happening a bit. I guess it's worse
in Houston than it is in the Woodlands. Yes, the
Woodlands that's about thirty miles from downtown Houston is at
ninety percent least compared to Houston seventy five percent lead straight.
Why do you think that is because there's less office space?

Speaker 3 (37:36):
What do you think?

Speaker 7 (37:36):
What do you well, Actually, this is a good topic
because we could have a potential real estate you know,
basically a financial bust right now. Houston has four to
five billion dollars in commercial real estate loans out there,
and a lot of these are coming due that Most
commercial loans are interest only, and we're talking anywhere from

(37:58):
millions to one hundred million, and they all typically have
balloon notes three, four or five years and people that
bought with low interest rates. Now when these things reset.
So let's say a building, you know, someone bought a building,
you know, ten story building, it's ninety percent full back
in twenty nineteen COVID hits. Now you're you know, in heck,

(38:18):
it might be ninety percent least. But people stop paying
their rent and now they've their loans come and due,
they've got to refinance rates are you know six seven
eight percent? Building is only half full. They're not cash
flowing at all. No bank's going to refine. And then
now you might have a loan go bad, or the
bank might not even foreclosed.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
The bank's got to become a partner now. So I'm
a little.

Speaker 7 (38:42):
Concerned some of these small, mid sized regional banks could
have some big exposure.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
You never know, but.

Speaker 7 (38:50):
You know, I think people are you know, they still
want to work from home. But you're right, a lot
of companies are calling people back and that's because of
you know, they're paying for this rent, so they want
their employees.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
There any predictions for what do you think is going
to happen in the real estate market. In twenty twenty five,
we got Trump coming in. Does he do anything about
the cost of living? And then say, you know, be objective.
I'm not asking to be political. No where do you
think is good? Can we fit I When people ask
me about inflation, they're like, is trump really going to
bring the prices down. I said, I think realistically, Trump
is just going to slow the growth.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
And I think that's what nobody thinks.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
That houses are going to cost half as much as
they did a decade ago.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
That's not going to happen. But at the very least,
if the cost.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Of eggs and motor fuel and everything else could just
stop going up so rapidly, wouldn't that be an accomplishment.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
Well, this year has been a tough year, has been
one of the I think something like seventy eighty percent
of realtors haven't barely sold one house this year.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
I mean, it's it's been tough.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
But high interest rates, you know, six seven percent, they've
been doing their job, slowed the market down. But you know,
being thirty some trillion dollars in debt for our country,
you know, the Fed's been trying. I mean the reason
rates are high, and the Fed's been politely trying to
tell everyone until there's blood in the streets and these
restaurants are not packed on Saturday nights, there's too much
money out there, but it's killing the real estate market.

(40:10):
So they are trying to get rates to come down.
But until then, Now you know what's weird about what
you just said. Yeah, you know that old Yogi Berra expression.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
No one goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
I don't go out to restaurants on Saturday night because
I assume they're too crowded.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Where are these people getting all this money?

Speaker 2 (40:26):
I mean, but I noticed recently I went to a
restaurant by my house and there was nobody there.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
That's right, And I was like, wait, this isn't what
I was expecting.

Speaker 7 (40:34):
Right, I'm starting to see some slow down, and at
some point it catches up. Everything's so expensive, we're all
just getting dinged up every time we turn around. But
the housing prices, I believe are being propped up artificially
because everyone has Most people have two three four percent
interest rates, and housing is so expensive. So if you

(40:55):
sold your home, you're gonna have to go pay a
high price for another, and then you're gonna have to
have six seven percent loan. So we've created this vacuum
where the market is frozen up. No one wants to sell,
meaning we have a lower inventory than usual. And because
you have a low inventory, supply and demand and you know,
so that kind of props supply prices up. But I

(41:16):
will say well, and also any year there's a presidential election.
For the past twenty five years, I've always seen it
kind of slow down.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Right now, That's what they say.

Speaker 7 (41:25):
Inventory has started to grow a little bit. In days
it takes to sell your home has been growing. So
you're seeing the market slowly return to a normal market.
Like you know, you don't sell your home in three
days like you did now it's taking one two months
unless you have a specific kind of home.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
But I'm glad you clarify that.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
George, we're running late here at we got to break
here in a second.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
But I do want to say this. George is a
friend of mine. He's a guy.

Speaker 2 (41:47):

actually is my friend. He does property management. He deals
with squatters, he buys themselves outs is. He's a something
of a local real estate group GERU, and from time
