Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common sense.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
Will see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This
is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind
dot Com.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
It's been at least a nanoseconds since we opened up
the program talking about food, my favorite topic on the
whole planet.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
So let's do a food segment today. Why not.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
We did it this morning on kat Rich, We'll do
it this afternoon here on Am nine fifty KPRC. And
here is the segment. Things that you have tried that
you really look forward to trying. You thought they were
going to be awesome. Oh this is gonna be so good.
I've never eaten this before. I can't wait to try this,

(01:02):
and then you try it and he went, well it
was horrible, or if that wasn't that wasn't what I
was expecting, or well it was okay, but kind of disappointing.
And there's a number of things that usually make the
list on something like that. Lobster is one of those
things when people try lobster for the first time. You know,
they know it's kind of a special occasion thing. They

(01:24):
know it's expensive, you know, when you're paying market price
for something. That always makes me nervous right on the
menu when you see market price, because you just don't
know how expensive it's going to be. And if you've
never tried it before and you're not sure you'll like it,
and you pay market price for it, then that's going
to lead probably to disappointment. So fortunately for me, I

(01:47):
love lobster. I think lobster is awesome. It depending of
course on how fresh it is and all the things
that go along with it, but I generally speaking love lobster.
I don't love the price of lobster. I think lobster
is of her price. And if you've ever been to
New England, you know that it is because you can
get a whole lot cheaper in New England. It's because
it's the shipping cost that adds a lot to the
price of the lobster that you're eating, especially when you

(02:09):
gets far away as Texas, because we don't you know,
we don't have main lobster obviously here in Texas, so
it has to come a long long way. All right,
here are some of the things that made the list.
Truffle oil fries. Now, I've tried all sorts of different
kinds of fries. My favorite is parmesan garlic fries. You
ever had those? You know who has really good parmesan

(02:31):
garlic fries And I hardly ever go there because I
can't stand the noise.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Red Robin. Red Robin has just amazing.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
You know, they got the big steak fries just oozing
with you know, with garlic and parmesan cheese, and it's
just really super delicious. I love those. That's that's my
only real reason to go to Red Robin to buy chocolate.
Supposedly that's a very exotic chocolate, really good, but a

(03:01):
lot of people think it's not worth the hype. The
make rib sandwich made the list. You know McDonald's sypes
that up all the time. Whenever they have it available,
you know, they trot it out and then they pull
it back again. I have never tried to make grib sandwich.
I can't get past the look. You know, it looks
like it's supposed to have ribs in there, but obviously

(03:23):
it doesn't have ribs. I've had a real problem with
that one, just the look of it. Those gigantic smoke
turkey drumsticks and Renaissance fairs, you know, the big huge
I don't even know where you find a turkey. Thats
a drumstick that big, that's got to come from like
a thirty pound bird. The problem is, as big as
they are, they have a tendency because you know, the

(03:45):
turkey leg is one of the tougher parts of the
bird to begin with, and you get these big, oversized
ones and they could be really kind of tough, and
so I think people imagine that they are gonna be
really suculate and juicy and tender, and they aren't always
that way. Fondant on a cake, know what that is?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Right?

Speaker 5 (04:01):
You know, it's the icing that they decorate with. But
it it's you know, you can technically eat it, but
it's not like buttercream frosting or something like that. It's
really delicious, it's it's it's not like that at all,
So fond it made the list. Twinkies made the list.
I don't know what people would imagine a Twinkie taste like,
but evidently they thought it tasted a lot more fake

(04:22):
and chemical. A lot of them did than what it
should have been. Oysters. Oysters made the list, especially raw Easters,
because you see people eating them and they look like
they're enjoying them so much, and then you try them
and it's like swallowing snot not to mention the fact that,
you know, oyster has a real earthy flavor. Even cook

(04:44):
they have a real earthy flavor. I have to if
I eat cooked oysters, I have to I have to
put something on it. I don't know, ranch dressing or
or some uh, you know, some tartar sauce, something something
to take away the earthy part of the flavor. I
just don't care for that. And the list goes on
and on and on. So we asked the listeners this
morning things that you really look forward to trying because

(05:07):
you thought it was going to be really, really good
and it turned out to be really really disappointing. Ah,
we've got a new little computer thing in here, and
it it doesn't work as well as you would hope
it would work. So let me try that cut one
more time.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Hi.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Oh, this is Cindy from Wharton.

Speaker 7 (05:29):
I tried oyster Rockefeller one time because I love oysters.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Oh my god, that was the nastiest.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
Thing in the entire world.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yikes.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
All right, oyster's Rockefeller. Now to me, that would make
the oyster taste better is the Rockefeller part because it's
isn't it isn't there like cheat, there's like spinach and
a couple other things. Again, that would kind of, you
would think, knock out some of the worst of the flavors.
So I would think that would be a big improven
anybody else.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
This is uberto.

Speaker 9 (05:57):
I'm calling from Brasil and a food that was really
built up for me to just just kind of fell
through was.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Keviar Pornie guysick from the East Side. Last year, my
wife and I went to Yellowstone on my birthday and
I got to try Montana State and let me tell
you something, it was seriously disappointing. Nothing like a nice
road Texas raby o.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
Hey guys, this is Neil coming in from College station.
I so looked forward to good and it was caviar.
I was expecting this rich, creamy case and all I
got were a little salt pump pellets. It was actually disgusting.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Have a great day, hey, guys, This.

Speaker 10 (06:45):
Is Bryce from Magnolia Goat. I had gotten several offers
from some of the guys at my church to cook
me goat, and I hadn't taken them up on it yet.
And we were to Indian restaurant just last week and
I finally tried goat, and maybe it was the way
it was prepared, but I was not impressed. I was

(07:07):
told goat was very tender and tasty, and that's not
what I got.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
So well, you know, I think generally speaking, goat is
kind of tender and tasty, has cooked the right way.
So you know, I don't know. I'm not a super
big fan of Indian cuisine to begin with. I'm not
a fan of curry, not so much because I don't
like the taste of it, because because I don't like
what it does to me, if you know what I mean.

(07:34):
But the caviar thing that that doesn't surprise me. I
think caviar is considered it, you know, again, sort of
an a luxurious thing to eat, but is really salty.
It's fish eggs. I mean, that's that's what you got
to remember. I mean, what we're dealing with here is
basically fish eggs. So when you're you know, how good

(07:56):
you expect a fish egg to taste. All right, quick
little break, we're back with on a moment Jimmy Baird show.
Here an a nine fifty KPRC. Now, one of the

(08:25):
things you may have noticed is that the Jimmy Kimmel suspension,
as it turns out, didn't last very long, did it?
How did it last? Did it make twenty four he
didn't make forty eight hours. I'm pretty sure didn't last
very long at all. And I guess I don't understand

(08:45):
what the thinking is here if Disney is trying to
backtrack now and say the reason why they suspended him
is because they thought his remarks were given the timing
of the remarks were insensitive. Notice they didn't say that
they thought the remarks were untrue or a lie or incendiary,

(09:08):
just that they were insensitive. So and knowing evidently after
having talked to Jimmy that he wasn't going to say
anything conciliatory on his next show, they decided to diffuse
the situation with the suspension. But at the end of
the day, I think most of us thought that they
would suspend him indefinitely, and if they did bring him

(09:32):
back and maybe just to say goodbye, and that would
be it, but it didn't work out that way. Now,
I don't know if it was because of all of
the support that Jimmy Kimble got from the progressive left Hollywood,
you know, all the stars.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Free speech, free speech.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
It's amazing how concerned they are about free speech when
it's somebody on the progressive left is saying something. If
it's somebody on the conservative right, no no, no, no, no,
that's hate speech. It's no longer free speech, it's hate speech. Well,
what is the difference in what Jimmy Kimmel did. If
he's going to blame Maga for a kid who who

(10:08):
obviously was not Maga, that strikes me as being hate speech.
But evidently they don't have a problem with hate speech
as long as it's against Trump. So there you go.
Jimmy Kimmel's back. Now, how many people are going to
watch I don't know how many people are going to
carry his show. Sinclair one of the ABC affiliates, one
of the larger ABC affiliates, They're still not going to

(10:30):
carry his show, And whether or not they will carry
a show will probably depend on what he says tonight.
I wouldn't expect him to apologize. I kind of doubt it.
If he does, it'll be half be a half as apology,
which won't amount to hill of beans. But we'll probably
have some analysis on all this tomorrow morning, once we

(10:51):
know what it is that Jimmy Kimmel has to say
about what happened with him. Now, his contract expires at
the end of the year, so at the end of
the he's he's going to be done maybe, I mean,
his ratings haven't been good. Why would you renew him anyway?
Jesse Waters on the five talking about Jimmy Kimble's reinstatement.

Speaker 11 (11:12):
Some of us have been there, and then he will
carry on and be the exact same Jimmy Kimball that
we're used to. But how much longer are we going
to get Jimmy Kimble? His deals up in January? Is
Disney going to put up with this guy? He's in
second place, he's a headache, he's losing cash. It's a
dying format Late Night. I just don't see him going

(11:34):
on that much longer. And that's fine.

Speaker 12 (11:38):
You know what, Tyrus. I mean, this isn't going to
change the fact that his ratings were plummeting. We've put
those up on the screen before I'm beginning to wonder,
I mean, sinister conspiracy theory here, like, was this all
a ratings ploy so you get everyone to watch them again?

Speaker 2 (11:50):
No?

Speaker 13 (11:50):
I think this is this is great for what was
you rather be canceled for sucking at your job or
the mean president took your job away? So for them,
he's getting to come back. So you got to take
the president out of it now because now he's back,
so there should be a huge rating spike. Everyone should
be excited. And just as you're wrong, you typically finish

(12:13):
his third and it's Colbert.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Now, I wasn't shouting Greg Yeah, yeah, uh huh, third place.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
And if the numbers in the important demos have really
gone down, what does that important demos for them? I
guess eighteen to forty nine year olds. Anyway, we'll see
what he says tonight. But I think at the end
of the day, I don't know what Disney accomplished with
all this. They pissed off the progressive left by suspending him,

(12:44):
and now they have completely alienated the conservative right. Not
that the conservative right is going to be a viewer
of getting Jimmy Kimmel anyway, Maybe that's part of what
endo the Disney thinking. We don't care if we make
the conservative right upset because they're not watching the show anyway,
They're watching Guy Field. Speaking of which Tom Shloo is
supposed to be on the show today. We'll see, we'll
see if we hear from him in segment three today.

(13:07):
But I just kind of I just kind of wonder
what did what did Disney actually gain by doing this?
That doesn't seem to me like he gained a whole
heck of a lot. Meanwhile, Matthew Doubt that's the guy
on MSNBC who got the ziggy for what he said
in the aftermath right after Charlie Kirk got shot. Evidently

(13:28):
he's upset because nobody's talking about him. Where's my attention?
How come nobody wants to talk about me? Everyone everybody
wants to talk about Jimmy Kimmel, What about my free speech?
Making Kelly cover that on her podcast. No, she really
did hang on a second, making Kelly cover that on

(13:49):
her podcast.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Emphasize what you just emphasized.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
We don't know any spoke details of this that we
don't know if this was the supporter or shooting their
gun off in celebration or so we have no idea
about this. But following up what was just said, he's
been one of the most divisive, especially devisive younger figures
in this who is constantly sort of pushing this sort
of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.

(14:14):
And I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to
hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I
think that's the environment we're in that people just you
can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have
and then saying these awful words and not expect awful
actions to take place. And that's the fortunate environment we're in.

Speaker 14 (14:36):
That is so infuriating as Charlie, as far as he knew,
is lying there struggling for his life with an assassin's
bullet in his neck, the news that.

Speaker 8 (14:44):
He had died had not yet hit. That's where he
went brought it on himself. Hateful words lead to hateful actions.

Speaker 14 (14:51):
Now let me ask you something in his case, Matthew
Dowd's case, and by the way, in the case of NPR,
which just this morning, as you know, I listen to
these podcasts, so you don't have to their news more program.
Just this Morning in talking about the Charlie Euloji he
was a divisive figure, I quote, a divisive figure, Charlie. Now,
do you think if God forbid, Rachel Maddout had something

(15:11):
terrible happened to her and NPR was talking about a
service in her honor, they.

Speaker 8 (15:15):
Would refer to her as divisive?

Speaker 14 (15:17):
You think that would be the word that they used
to describe her or anyone on the left, Jen Saki
Joy Read, Joe Scarborough, any of them.

Speaker 8 (15:26):
Do you think that they would say this.

Speaker 14 (15:29):
Is a divisive person in what's essentially the obit following
their memorial.

Speaker 8 (15:34):
They only do that to people on the right.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
So true, but we know that and that's not going
to change. Unfortunately, that's not going to change.

Speaker 9 (15:44):
All right.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
As long as you're on the topic of this kind
of a topic, maybe we should throw this in the
mix as well. Do you have any idea what's going
on with the Ryan Routh trial? Do you know who
Ryan Roth? Do you remember who Ryan Routh even is?
That's the guy in Florida that was laying and wait
at the Trump golf course to try to shoot President Trump.
But Secret Service spotted him and he started to get away,

(16:08):
but they caught him. Well, his trial is underway. He
is his own attorney. He's acting as his own attorney,
which is never a very smart thing to do. But
I haven't heard anybody talking about it. Yeah, nobody's doing
any trial updates. I hadn't even seen much of anything
on Fox about this guy. Certainly nobody on an, MSNBC

(16:30):
or CNN is going to cover this story. But there
are some podcasters out there who have been covering the story.
This is from MK True Crime podcast. Here they are
talking about some of the craziness involved with the Ryan
Ralph trial.

Speaker 9 (16:45):
Say what you want about people who try to represent themselves,
being a fool for a client, But this guy takes
the cake because he had some really wild pre trial requests. Look,
he wanted to have h he wanted to have He
said he wanted to have an ex lover come. He
said he wanted to avoid the trial and just challenge

(17:07):
Donald Trump to a round of golf. What in the
world is going on in South Florida? Mark Iglars, sure there,
maybe you can answer that.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Hey, easy, buddy, we have twenty three million people in Florida.
Don't judge us by the twenty one million, Okay, was Dave.

Speaker 15 (17:23):
Someone's line, that's anyway, that's it, that's it. I love
that line. Listen or Dave Barry. Yeah, okay. So here's
the deal. This is a slow guilty we know it is.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
And typically prosecutors don't even like unrepresented because it becomes
a circus. You know, you'd rather just have trained attorneys
on both sides, and you're worried about really reversal. You
have a guy who isn't following the rules and a
judge who somehow can get angered by his tactics, and
then you know, hope and pray that the judge, you know,

(17:55):
makes some kind of decision that ultimately an appellate lawyer
can find trampled on his rights. So it's difficult, it's messy,
but a guilty verdict is almost certainly going to.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Happen, unless, of course, he could somehow manage to establish
the well, I'm crazy. You can see I'm crazy, I'm
innocent by reason of insanity, or I've represented myself, I
didn't have good legal you know, you can see all
the things that they would try to use in an
appeals court in order to try to get a new trial.

(18:28):
But you know, at some point in time. He got
to figure he's going to jail for a good long time,
if not the rest of his life. All right, quick
little break. We are back with more in a moment.
Jimmy Verschow here on Am nine fifty KPRC. We kind

(19:00):
of in the show today on this note. Do we
think that gen Z is getting more conservative? You know,
we see these reports all the time that seem to
indicate that gen Z is getting more conservative, But do
see it in your own life? And the reason why
I asked that is I know some gen Zs in
my own family and they're the most liberal members of

(19:21):
our family. Then again, they're both female, so so maybe
I can't go by that because we'd already heard that
it is the gen Z males that are getting more conservative,
maybe a few of the females, but not nearly as
much as it as it involves the men. And I
get that from a male standpoint, just because you know,

(19:45):
I think guys are the ones that have been picked
on the most when it comes to the progressive left,
all the pressures but put on men to to feminize,
you know, to to to just stop being men, being
told that there's nothing virtuous about being a man. I
think men get tired of hearing that after a while, right,
you would certainly think so. So it's my experience anyway

(20:09):
that I believe that, yes, probably the gen Z males
are getting more conservative, but the females not so much.
What that bears for our future, especially as it relates
to relationships, it's going to be very interesting to see.
We already have young people waiting longer and longer to
get married, and maybe marriage is gonna be out of
the picture for a lot of people because they just

(20:30):
don't believe that they can get along. But I did
see Justine Brooks. Justine Brooks is a gen Z or herself,
and she's taking a look at this stuff. She's she's
at Arizona State University College Republicans vice president. Here she
is talking about gen Z and whether or not gen

(20:52):
Z is getting more conservative.

Speaker 16 (20:55):
Especially losing for young people Centrists and people never even
been involved in politics before because they saw a major
leader of gen Z assassinated simply because of his views.
I was a member of College Republicans just seven years ago.

Speaker 8 (21:11):
And there was about ten guys and me, and.

Speaker 16 (21:14):
We were in the basement of our Language arts building,
that's the only place where we were allowed to be
and so much has changed because it's been podcasters and
people like Charlie Kirk, people who actually went to our
campuses and realized that gen Z, we want to be
spoken to.

Speaker 8 (21:29):
We want to we don't want to.

Speaker 16 (21:31):
Be yelled at our professor's leftists on campus.

Speaker 8 (21:34):
All they did was shout us down and.

Speaker 16 (21:36):
Shut us down, and for the first time, we actually
felt like our voices were being heard. Charlie Kirk was
speaking to people from across the aisle, people whom he
disagreed with, and he was always very respectable. We're not
seeing that from the left. The left does. All they
do is demonize us, call us Nazis and fascists. They
don't actually want to have a conversation with the people
whom they claim they're trying to convert.

Speaker 17 (21:57):
So you attribute these members to the assassination Charlie Kirk,
and I do understand when you're coming from there. But
now that he has passed away, he's dead, I mean,
who fills that spot.

Speaker 8 (22:09):
He was so remarkable in the fact.

Speaker 17 (22:10):
That he could debate anybody, and he had a real
way about him in terms of invigorating young people. To
join the movement. Now that he's no longer with us,
what happens.

Speaker 16 (22:23):
There's so many other young people who are going to
take the torch, and nobody can be Charlie Kirk. But
we've already seen so many hundred, tens of thousands of chapters,
people trying to start turning Point USA chapters on their
own campuses. And we have a free online society now,
so anybody can speak up. It just it's a matter

(22:43):
of not being afraid to do so. And that's what
Charlie has taught us.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Okay, and I agree with that.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
If Charlie Kirk and give his life and was not
afraid to do so, then for goodness sakes, then you know,
then the rest of us can kind of go out
and speak a little bit louder. I think that's been
my thing. You know, clearly, wherever the message is coming from,

(23:09):
whoever's responsible ultimately for the message. And I still don't
believe it's just this Utah shooter. I think there's money
behind the Utah shooter. I think there's other people behind
the Utah shooter. I feel very confident in my heart
that there is a conspiracy behind the Utah shooter. It's
just a matter of finding out what the source of
that conspiracy is, who's funding it. And I was very

(23:32):
glad to see the President talk about investigating in geo's
non government organizations, groups like like the soorrols funded groups.
For example, we know that sorol's funded groups pay for protesters,
supply protesters, and and help groups like the Antifas of

(23:52):
the World, which by the way, now is officially, thanks
to the President yesterday, officially designated a terrorist group. Now,
now that they have been designated, that way, the government
can do a very thorough investigation into the funding of
groups like Antifa, and maybe along the way we can
find out who funded this kid, If this kid was funded,

(24:17):
who might be responsible for radicalizing him, what groups are
involved with this, and what's the money behind these groups,
And then you can start looking at charging the people
who are responsible for monetizing this, for funding this, for
spending the necessary money in order to be able to
fund a group like this that could go a long

(24:38):
way towards preventing these things from happening in the future.
All right, that's all I have for today. Thank you
for listening. I do appreciate it. I will see you
tomorrow morning, bright early at five AM over a news
radio seven forty KTRH. Hope you're back here at four
on AM nine fifty KTRC.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
