Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Vari Show is on the air.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
They fashioned themselves on social media as this legion of superheroes,
this incoming administration, Telsey Gabbard, Robert F.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Commedy, Junior, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Time faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Hey about to leap tall buildings at a single bound
up in the sky.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's a bird.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's superum. Yes, it's super Trump.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
We will very quickly make America great again.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
Do we really need whatever it is? Four hundred and
twenty eight federal agencies?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
So there's so many that people have.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Never heard of, and that half overlapping areas of responsibility.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
We should I don't.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
Know like I should get I mean, there are more
federal agencies than there are years since the establisher of
the United States, which means that we've created more than
one federal agency per year on average. That seems a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
That's a lot. So we should that seems crazy. I
think we should be able to get away with ninety
nine agencies.

Speaker 6 (01:28):
I am a patriot, I love our country. I am
a strong and intelligent woman of color, and I have
dedicated almost my entire adult life to protecting the safety, security,
and the freedom of all Americans in this country.

Speaker 7 (01:46):
I'm not anti vacacine, but I think we need to
be honest and we need to have good science. I
spent thirty years trying to get mercury out of the
fish in this country, and nobody ever called me any fish.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I got to tell you what happened this morning. So
I was driving. I was driving in.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I had to call a buddy of mine who's
a retired HPD officer, but he keeps very strong relationships
with who's on who's on duty, what captain at what
particular time, and to report this report this in and
I uh, so I drove past. I witnessed a crime

(02:42):
in progress, but I thought I'd be real smooth about it.
So I pulled in circle the building came back from
a distance. I got some photo I'm gonna share them
with you. Tom pulled in, pulled back, circle of building,
came back. Do not think he made me. I think

(03:08):
I managed to pull all this off because I didn't
want him coming after me afterwards, pulled back around, managed.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
To get a good advantage plant and.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
I photoed it, but I fat fingered my phone so
I couldn't video it, and I can't get his license plate.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
But what had happened was.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
A witnessed a white male approximately sixty fifty eight to
sixty two years old, slight of build, slightly stooped over,
but maybe because of what's about to come, wearing a
green long sleeved shirt tucked in. Clearly somebody'd given him

(03:53):
these clothes. They didn't fit properly. What were the pants
that people would wear for dress pant like docker style
blue pants?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I didn't say.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
It was a snazzy dresser and tennis shoes that didn't
appear to fit.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
And he's grayish.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
White hair, he's stooped over, and he is carrying And
this is how I knew he was in the commission
of a crime. He's carrying two duffelbacks, two large, heavy duffelbacks,
and I can tell they're heavy because the way he's
walking is that kind of walk like you're walking on
a tight rope, you know. I mean, you're just trying

(04:34):
to get it there real fast because you don't want
to put it down and have to pick it back up.
What do you mean what is a crime? Well, I
don't know what the crime is. Well the Fourth Amendment
can find out once we get in his bags. Listen,
here's the thing, serious question. When was the last time

(04:59):
you saw somebody carrying two Duffel bags that wasn't going
in or out of a gym? Seriously, I watch a
lot of crime movies. I watch all the crime documentaries.
I watch all the police stuff, all.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
The investigation stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
If you got a grown man stooped over, dressed like
somebody dressed him right close, it don't fit carrying two
Duffel bags that are very heavy. That's serious, serious crime
being committed. So I'm working a couple theories. One of

(05:44):
them is he was the mastermind behind a bank robbery
and he's the only one that could be trusted with
the cash by his plan, and so he held onto
the cash. The robbery probably occurred. I'm gonna have them

(06:05):
pull all the robberies from the last few days, because
the robbery probably occurred about three days. He's waiting on
the heat to pass, right, so he's got the bags
and now he's moving the bags of money.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
But he didn't want to do that while it was obvious,
But I got my eye on him. I have I have,
I have.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
A good look at him. I got a good description,
and I got a photo of this man who is
very likely the mastermind of this scheme.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
This, uh, what is the term for it? When they
when they have.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
A whole plan for a crime, this heist. Well, yeah,
the heist is the type of crime, but that doesn't
speak to the overall number of people involved. But I mean,
honest question, when's the last time you saw somebody carrying
two Duffel bags that wasn't going in and out of
a gym or a school, heavy Duffel bags that he

(07:03):
could barely carry. And here was the giveaway, just straight
out of a movie. They weren't actually Duffel bags. They
weren't nylon Duffel bags. There were like a cloth with
a leather handle. But I don't think it was really leather.
I think it was pleather. It was the old before
you did the nylon, because it's real light. Before that, remember,

(07:24):
you would have the kind of claw. It was a
It was a dark navy blue.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
And these were old bags.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
The whole thing just stinks of a crime I would
see in a documentary. So I've alerted my buddy, and no,
I didn't learn anybody. I did call a buddy of
mine and tell him that I was certain I was
witnessing a crime, and he wanted details, and I told
him about Duffel bags and he didn't think that rose
to the level of being certain of a crime. And

(07:53):
I said, see, this is why they get away. Y'all
don't have the gum shoe instincts that I do to
spot something like that and realize that is a crime
being committed. What white man is carrying two heavy bags,
dressed in this fashion at this age, stooped.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Over without ever looking around. He didn't want to be noticed.
As very careful. He didn't want to be noticed, and
he went over to this.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
It was a King Cab Chevrolet white truck with a
cattle guard or whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
You call it on the front of it. Bump bump,
what the damn thing called? And what is that? A
rail guard? Is that what that's called? Anyway? I got
a good description.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Truth is, he looked like Walter that works for Uncle
Jerriet Liquid. I said, look, just spitting image. So that's
how I'm gonna describe him. To the to the sketch artist.
I'm just gonna imagine Walter because he looked just like Walter.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Y Ya old Kaya. He's an old college.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
And Michael Berry old Kaya.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Friend of mine, used to work for a startup that
tried to train people to see the future and describe
what they saw. But it went bankrupt because they couldn't
make any profits. You know how you know that George

(09:29):
Foreman doesn't play Nintendo, he's an Xboxer.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yesterday, when the.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Former public health director Barbie Robinson was indicted by Kim Ogg,
and you'll remember, she's accused of giving a six million
dollar deal to IBM in California while the public health
director here. And part of the evidence against her, which

(10:01):
is kind of strong, is the email where they lay
the scheme out. And she said she never saw that email. Yep,
if if they hadn't investigated her.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
We'd never known.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
She would have never known they were offering her a bribe.
But when they confirmed it in the email. But the
good news is even though she didn't know about the
email describing the bribe, she still did what she would
need to do to get paid on the bribe.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Now how convenient is that? And oh, by the way,
just to give you a.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Sense of what kind of characters we've recruited into Houston
City and Harris County government. She was at the same
time being paid to be the third in command of
the Phoenix Health Department. So presumably she showed up in
Harris County to her job here. We don't know, because
remember we had the one county official here. She hadn't

(11:05):
been to the office in three years. Remember that, and
her replacement, another Democrat, was just elected in November. But
it turned out that she hadn't shown up to the
office in three years. And I don't know if nobody
noticed or cared or Rodney just runs it anyway, so
she doesn't have to bother. Do you just when you're
getting paid and you don't have to show up? Do

(11:26):
you just hang out at the house or do you move?
How does that work? So Barbie Robinson, the Harris County
Public Health director who's running all these schemes, she's the
one who gave the bid to Lena Hidalgo, which is
the reason Lena's top three people are under indictment today.
She when Lena had Ago announced when Kim Ogg announced

(11:48):
the indictment, Lena had Algo said.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
You're indicting her. You're just mad and you didn't win
the election.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
And I said that sounds like something a high school
kid say. Well, Kim Ogg said exactly the same thing.
But number twenty two, mister Robs, what should.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Take when it comes to a series of treats from
the county judge Kago saying that this is an attack,
It's obviously take the previous time.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Owners.

Speaker 8 (12:17):
We're not in high school, and our cases aren't based
on opinions. They are based on evidence. The evidence reflects
actions taken by government officials which violate the law, and
so the opinions of politically elected individuals are irrelevant to

(12:37):
the criminal process.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
ABC thirteen with the story of one of the crimes
that the Harris County Public Health Director, Barbie Robinson, is
accused of.

Speaker 8 (12:50):
When taxpayers are treated like suckers by somebody who sneaks
around a well established procurement process, it can be criminal.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
And that is what Ogg's team says happened with a
multimillion dollar contract at Harris County Health for an outreach
program called Access. Charging Documents alleged that Barbie Robinson, the
former executive director, fired last summer after an unrelated investigation
used her personal email in twenty twenty one to give
a heads up to IBM about an upcoming contract, which

(13:23):
the County Commission approved later that same year.

Speaker 8 (13:26):
By giving that information to IBM early, it gave them
the winning advantage over all other competitors.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
OGG said the next highest bidder was tens of millions
of dollars lower than the winning bid. According to a
court filing, investigators with the Department of Public Safety found
that while it appears that Robinson is using her private
email to conduct official county business outside the reach of
public transparency requirements, Afiant believes that this email shows that

(13:54):
IBM is helping craft part of the access program for
which it is then making a competitive bid for later
in the same month, and this is the email in
context with other emails indicates that Robinson has shared the
scope and details of the proposed contract outside of the
competitive bidding window.

Speaker 8 (14:14):
Misuse of official information as a crime doesn't require the
defendant to actually benefit, but I will tell you that
it's certainly part of the ongoing investigation to see if
she did.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
As of late Tuesday, neither Robinson nor IBM responded to
requests for comment and Robinson's attorney declined to comment. The
county Judge Lena Hidalgo, who is often sparred with Ogg
and whose former staffers were indicted for similar alleged crimes,
posted on social media criticism of the charge against Robinson
and that Ogg weaponizes her office against those who disagree

(14:49):
with her.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
We're not in high school, and our cases aren't based
on opinions, they are based on evidence.

Speaker 9 (14:58):
And oggs as her team continued to look for evidence,
she would not rule out the possibility of additional charges
against Robinson or against anyone else as they continue that investigation.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Sylvester Turner was a fraud.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Now he's going into Sheila Jackson Lee's congressional seat, which
is appropriate. The FBI has been reportedly investigating Rodney Ellis
multiple times over such things as the African art in
the Harris County building that he controlled and did not
charge them for. There is the city airport scam that

(15:38):
the Papa says were kicked out of the airport. Nobody
else wanted to stand up to the city, but the
Papist family said no, no, no, no, We'll be here when
y'all are gone. We're going to fight for our rights.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Here.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
We were wronged and we've got a record of it.
Sylvester Turner's chief of staff is in prison right now
for a bribe, a series of bribes he took to
keep bars open during co You see, if we shut
all the bars down, we have the police authority to

(16:08):
shut all the bars down because the bars have to
be closed down or everybody will die from COVID. That
gives us the incredible power which is valuable, to allow
some bars to stay open. And that's what they did
for which he is in prison. The director of marketing
for the city's housing department under Sylvester Turner is now

(16:29):
in prison. He was taking kickbacks for people that he
would spend the city's housing budget marketing allowance with in
exchange for a kickback of part of what he spent.
That's a big one that government officials do. Rodney Ellis's
chief of staff was the former head of the HISD board.

(16:50):
She had served her term and moved to the Houston
Community College Board while working for Rodney Ellis, where she
was arrested for taking bribes while having been HISD board chairman.
So she's working for Rodney Ellis as a staffer and

(17:10):
she's the board chairman of HISD where she took a bribe,
multiple bribes, and she pled guilty to that felony. Do
you notice how these characters they all we it's the
same set of characters. The chief of staff for Sylvester
Turner that's now in prison he worked for. Just go

(17:32):
look at all these people that he worked for over
the course of his crid just got started on all
the Crime Safe Committee. And that's just the ones we've
caught him.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
More system from The Michael Barry Show and other leading companies.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Michael Diamond born on this day in nineteen sixty five,
better known as Mike d.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Of the Beastie Boys. Hard to Believe.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Almost everything we know the Beastie Boys is off one album,
one brief, little moment in time. It's considering the influence
they had, it is one of the most unlikely of
stories in all of music. In fact, I can't think
of anything that is more unlikely than those kids, with

(18:26):
their background at that time, doing what they did in
the way they did it, and then doing what they
did as a result.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
It's different, that's for sure. It is different.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
So I got a call from a public boot company
yesterday I said.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Hey, Val Kilmer's in the store. Well, that's cool. Are
you picking up some boots?

Speaker 3 (18:57):
No, he just walked in. Well, as luck would have it,
not exactly lucky. If you know, the theme of Republic
Boot Company at eleventh in Studor Wood is there's a
lot of leather, there's a lot of wood, a lot
of cowboy, there's a lot of a certain vibe and
feel and.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Ambiance. And they have a.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Picture up on the wall of him in Tombstone, which
I mean, even if you're Val Kilmer, I don't think
you ever get tired of walking in somewhere.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
And seeing a poster review on the wall. So I said,
let me.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Let me look up Val Kilmer and see things about
him that I probably don't know, because he's a fascinating life.
Val Edward Kilmer born December thirty first, nineteen fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
All right, so that already starts interesting. He was born
in la.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
The second of three boys to Eugene and Gladys. His
mother was of Swedish descent, including Irish, German and Cherokee broots.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Because he's got an interesting look, you know, he's got
a very striking look.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Parents were divorced when he was eight, Mom remarried they
moved to the Arizona border. His younger brother, Wesley, had
epilepsy drowned in a jacuzzie at age fifteen. He attended
high school with Kevin Spacey. His high school girlfriend was,

(20:45):
I don't know if this is Mare. I don't know
her Winningham. You know this she's an actress and singer songwriter. Yeah,
I don't know her. I probably am supposed to m A. R. Winningham.
It looks like it was originally. Oh, she's professionally known
as Mara. Maybe that's how she spells Mary. I don't
understand why that. He was the youngest person to be

(21:06):
accepted into Juilliard's Drama Division, where he was a member
of Group ten. He declined a role in Francis Ford
Coppola's film The Outsiders Man Looking Back, I wonder who
took that role, because you think.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
About what's ce Howard? What's his name?

Speaker 3 (21:32):
See Thomas Howard. I mean you think of all the
cool cats in that movie. Matt Dillon was at his
peak at that point.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Tom's Tom Cruise is in that although not a big role.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, that's a movie right
there now, eh. He appeared off Broadway in The Slab
Boys with Kevin Bacon, Sean Penn, and Jackie Earl Haley.
They I don't know who they are. They never turned
out to do anything. Then he was in an after
school special which included Michelle Pfeiffer. What's crazy is none

(22:12):
of these people knew how big they're going to turn
out to be at the time. Then he got top
building in a comedy spoof of a spy movie called
Top Secret, where he was a rock and roll star.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
And then the big break, as you know, is when.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Oliver Stone chooses him to be Jim Morrison in The Doors.
The story goes that he filmed himself singing a Jim
Morrison's song and sent it to Oliver Stone, who was unimpressed,
and Paul Rothschild, who was the original producer, said that
he was shaken by it, that it was so good

(22:52):
that he wanted Kilmer to sing as Jim Morrison during
the during the movie so that you didn't have to
splice different Jim Morrison and him.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
And if you look at the two of them, Morrison's.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Face is more angular than Valcolmer's it's only till later
when he gets a little more bloated, because Valcomer's face
looks like he's got botox.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
He doesn't.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
He's got a very full face, kind of rounded face.
Then they look a lot more like each other. Then
he was in Wings of the Then of course True Romance, Tombstone.
What would you say that most people know him from Tombstone, Well,
that would be his his biggest film that people remember
Batman Forever, and then on and on and on, the

(23:38):
Island of Doctor Moreau, Prince of Egypt, Joe the King,
Red Planet.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Obviously he did Saturday Night Live. Yeah, I would say
most people probably.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
If you were to pick one movie that that he
is most known for.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
It would be Tombstone.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Such a I never really enjoyed Tombstone as much as
everybody else did. I don't dislike it. I won't turn
it off, but I never For me, it's it's Young
Guns much more so than to Tombstone. Always felt you know,
I'll tell you this, and you always give me stink
FACEOOD said, I'm gonna say it.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
This is how I feel. Right.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
I might be wrong, but this was my perception of Tombstone.
Tombstone always felt to me like a movie that was
put together and they knew it was going to be
big because of the cast they had assembled, and they
knew this was going to be epic. So because all

(24:43):
the time they're in the making of this amazing movie
that's going to be so great, it never really has
the feel of the little engine that could. And I
like those movies that when they when it comes out,
they have no idea how great it's going to be
Clint Eastwood doing the outlaw Josie Wales that he's had
to fund himself because it's I think seventy six and

(25:04):
Hollywood doesn't want to make westerns anymore, and so there's
this you know, they're plugging along and then it turns
out to be the greatest movie of all time.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
That I like that story at all.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
John Writers, The.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Michael Very Show, many more, first cosmic values, some million
dollar record sales.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I'm ho ho now.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
So you know, it's a twenty five year.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Anniversary of the tragic bonfire at Texas A and M.
But what's amazing in these stories, whether it's nine to eleven,
a mass shooting, these these stories of extreme trauma, and

(25:54):
there are lives that come out of these stories that
maybe don't make the headlines, but they're really, really interesting.
And one of them is the story of John Comstock.
Somebody out there probably knows John Comstock and can get
him to call in seven one, three, one thousand. But

(26:16):
John Comstock is the name you might not know, but
you will soon. He was the final survivor rescued from
the Aggie bonfire collapse, spent nearly seven hours trapped under
the logs. The university thought he died, so they drafted

(26:36):
a press release announcing his death. Or they thought he
would die. They had it ready to send out because
surely he would die. He lost his leg and he
was pretty bad shape. I guess they gave him the
press release because he has it framed to this day.

(26:57):
Reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated. That's the kind
of thing. That's the kind of thing you you frame
and put on the wall, and every single day remind yourself,
no bad days. I'm on borrowed time. I'm not supposed
to be here, you know what? Make the God kept
me here for a reason. I need to get after it.

(27:17):
Let me figure out my purpose in life. The Great
story from w FAA TV.

Speaker 10 (27:29):
A generation of Aggis never got to see what generations
before held sacred a burning Aggie bonfire. Thank you because
at this moment, twenty five years ago, the stack of
logs Texas A and M students had spent weeks weaving
together had collapsed during construction. Twelve Aggies died, A thirteenth

(27:54):
almost did.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
One year ago.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
He lay trapped under the collapsed bonfire stack, the last
survivor rescued after seven hours.

Speaker 10 (28:02):
This is an old WFAA news report on that AGGI
who escaped death, and it.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Kind of feels like death. This is kind of coming
point you.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
That was the thought that came through my mind.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
I want to be hard to shay and this.

Speaker 10 (28:14):
Mentally physically, how are you doing today?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Doing good?

Speaker 10 (28:19):
I mean, is that Aggie?

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Now?

Speaker 6 (28:21):
It's just one of those things where life goes on.

Speaker 10 (28:24):
So John Comstock grew up in Richardson. WFAA documented his
rehabilitation and after one hundred and forty eight days his release,
he lost a leg, but a dozen others lost a life.
He was the final survivor cruz rescued from the stack.
There was a point where I could tell they were

(28:44):
not wanting me to look around, but I had looked
up above me and like, literally right above me, there
was a bottom of a boot.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
So I knew that there was like somebody, you know,
really close to me that.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Had not made it.

Speaker 10 (28:57):
Comstock himself came close, so close the university drafted a
press release announcing his death.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
He framed it, you know, it's it's kind of funny
because people were always saying, you know, God has some
great plan for you, and I was always just.

Speaker 10 (29:13):
Like, I just want a regular live Now married with kids,
Comstock lives in College Station. He did graduate from A
and M, and he works for the A and M system.
He stays active and sometimes speaks publicly about resilience. Do
you feel like you achieved that regular old life you
were after?

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, oh for sure.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
A grateful survivor now a Texas Aggie, forever, married.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Father of two.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Youngest is just nine months old. The story goes that
he was sitting in his Did.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
They tell this because I was looking for something else?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
While?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Forgive me if I'm repeating what they told her in
the story because I didn't get to listen that he
was sitting in his dorm room that night he had
two tests that he's cramming for the next day because
that's what college kids do, because they don't prepare, And
somebody stopped and talked him into work in an overnight
shift at the site where the bonfire was being built.

(30:17):
He arrived at the site around midnight, climbed to the
top of the third layer. I don't know what that means.
I don't know how high that is, and went to
work on construction. A buddy of his from high school
Jesuit College Prep in Dallas was near him. That buddy
took a break about two thirty am. Comstock stayed. A

(30:39):
few minutes later, the stack swayed. Comstock was almost the
thirteenth debt death. He spent thirteen He spent seven hours
trapped in the log. He was the final person rescue
crews pulled out alive seven hours. Imagine how comply. I'd

(31:00):
like to know why it took seven hours. I'm sure
there's a good reason.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
I don't know. I don't know. If they just they
couldn't get the logs moved, if there were too many
people to rescue, I don't know. I know you can't
just pick up a log. I got that.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I'm sure they were getting in there as fast as
they could to help these people. I'm fascinated by the
logistical nightmare. Our friend Mark Sherman yesterday was on his
way to Dallas for a meeting with one of our
stations there, because I guess he must be running the
stations in Dallason. He's our big program in Guru and

(31:42):
he was driving along. Eighteen wheelers smashed him in the back,
and I mean, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
That he survived.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
And he's over on the side of the road, discombobulating, discombobulating,
not sure if he's in heaven or Hell or somewhere
in between. And an eighteen wheeler that had stopped up
ahead jumps out of his eighteen wheeler comes running back
to him. And he had been in the middle lane
when the guy who hit him caused him to swoar.

(32:12):
And this guy said, I barely avoided you. He hugged Mark,
and mark'said, so, oh yeah, okay, Well, I just want
you to know I barely missed you, and if I
had hit you, it would have killed you.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I mean, he stopped his eighteen We would have come
back and tell him that. Okay, but you're hurting my shoulder.
So they they brought him back.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
In the ambulance and he is waiting on he's going
into surgery today, shattered his clavical.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
All of it bad news. Yeah, and just like that,
life happens. It's crazy. I didn't order bur King, Jeff
Burger King yesterday.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
You had it delivered. See, I don't want my fast food.
If you want to know what bad ingredients go into
fast food, especially today, have it when it's not piping hot.
Even water Burger if the burger holds up.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Okay, but the.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Waterburger fries, which I love, you give them about an
hour and.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
You go, oh, yeah, that's not that's not. And now
I'll give it to me hot. I'll knock it out.
