It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Varry Show is on.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
The air, and it really looks like ancient Rome here.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
This is sort of the conquering Republican caesar who's going
into the Colisey and that everyone's cheering and he's got
his political gladiators with him. That appearance isn't just about
him enjoying the applause. He's sending a message to the
Senate for not only are you entertained, but these are
my people and are you willing to fight?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Because here's who I have.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I also want to say a big, big thank you
to President Donald Trump for being here to hide.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Hey, what do you gotta think about.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
My version of the Donald Trump?
Speaker 7 (00:57):
Check it out?
Speaker 8 (01:03):
You say you have, Let's go. That's what I'm proud.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm proud
to be a Christian American champion down bad.
Speaker 9 (01:39):
I think the whole point with these nominees, several of them,
is their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification. That's Trump's point,
because what he wants to do with these nominees is
establish that the congress Unized States will not stand up
to him with anything. If they will confirm Matt Gates,
(01:59):
they do anything he wants.
Speaker 10 (02:01):
Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms should be the name of a
chain of convenience stores in Florida, not a federal agency.
We need to abolish the ATF before they abolish our
Second Amendment rights.
Speaker 11 (02:20):
What kind of power and influence you think R.
Speaker 12 (02:33):
FK.
Speaker 13 (02:34):
Junior would have, you know, Martha, I am outraged because
lives are at stake here. The head of Health and
Human Services touches programs that affect every single life in
our country. I've been focusing mainly on the public health
impacts you know. As you know, I'm a pediatrician. I
practice pediatrics for more than thirty years, and there's nothing
(02:57):
that I've done for my patients that I know has
more positive impact then getting them vaccinated fully and on time.
And to have someone leading AHHS who is one of
the biggest deniers of vaccines in our country would undermine
the confidence in that program, and likeli, would cost lives.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw an explosion
in chronic disease and American children. The neurological disease suddenly
exploded in nineteen eighty nine, eight EIGHTHD sleep disorders, a
language delays ASD, autism, to reg syndrome, tics, narcolepsy. These
(03:39):
are all things that I never heard of. Autism went
from one in ten thousand of my generation according to
the CDC data, one in every thirty four years today.
Speaker 14 (03:52):
With the time, I could literally read headlines.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Of major news stories for the entirety of this show.
So many things happening so fast. Trump had built his
transition team already prior to winning so that they could
immediately begin to move swiftly and build their teams. He
(04:31):
had done so with his own money. Now I don't
know if that came from campaign money or his personal money,
but he had done it with non governmental money. And
the reason he did that was to be in a
position that the government could not put moles as they
did in twenty sixteen. Again, this is the do over.
(04:54):
Can't tell you how many guys I've seen got married,
on track, got busy at work, got distracted, didn't pay
attention to the kids, just paid attention to work and hunting,
and sort of neglected the family. They start over twenty
years later, second time around, and it's a very different
(05:18):
approach to marriage and parenting. Having seen what can happen,
the twenty sixteen experience has made Trump a very very
different transition period president, and I think will make him
a very different president altogether. So Friday Night, the Tyson
(05:43):
Paul fight and everyone is disappointed at the end because
it was silly. He wasn't a real fight, and deep
down people knew that, but they still would have tuned in.
Many people saying, oh, this is an extreme embarrassment for Netflix.
(06:06):
It's buffering. Netflix is done. Wait a minute, what competition
does Netflix have? Netflix made out like bandits in terms
of pr I mean, it's a net cost to them.
But I would assume that as a result of this,
(06:28):
a lot of people bought a Netflix subscription that have
never had one before and now figured out, oh, there's
a bunch of stuff on there. Although if you really
want the old movies, you go to Prime. You got
to have them both because Prime has all the old movies,
the classic movies. Netflix has the newer stuff and the
stuff that they put that they go out and meg
or have made. But I heard the question starting to
(06:50):
be asked in the boxing circle, who sanctioned this? And
that made me think about something. This fight probably wouldn't
have been saying in the old days with the old
boxing Commission, almost certainly would not have However, was it
good entertainment? Are you not entertained? Yes? It was entertainment,
(07:18):
nothing more, nothing less and secret so was boxing. Can't
take it too seriously, but it got me to thinking
a fight that didn't have the traditional trappings of a
belt at play, and it was really just an exhibition,
(07:39):
didn't have the sanctioning, didn't have all the things that
in the old days you had to have. Why did
people still watch it? Well, there are a lot of reasons,
and it's a social phenomena. It's interesting when you step
back and think about that. I know a lot of
people who watch that who would never watch a boxing match.
(07:59):
I love UFC and Chad's a UFC nut, but there
is something about the sweet science. Sitting in a chair
next to my dad and watching Larry Holmes fight, watching
George Foreman, especially in his later days, fight. Oh it
was magical. Savarye and Tyson and Buster Douglas and Leonard
(08:22):
Lennox Lewis and all of those guys. And it comes
down to this, we didn't need anybody to sanction the fight,
regardless of what you thought of the quality of the fight,
because sanctioning bodies in this country have lost respect, just
as the medical industry has lost respect, the FDA has
(08:44):
lost respect. Ivy League education has lost respect. Read an
article this weekend on how the respect from the general
public for a Harvard and Yelle degree has diminished drastically.
Sylvester Turner, the mayor and a human being?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
Will Michael Benshaw?
Speaker 15 (09:26):
What y'all want me to stay in this here?
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Fuck?
Speaker 12 (09:29):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Evil?
Speaker 15 (09:31):
Okay? Yeah, how you pronounced the words?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Chuckle?
Speaker 15 (09:35):
Malut Man, the connect tablot who commits. Goodbye to Texas
University of Texas, Goodbye to Urge and White Lord, good
luck to them. They're on Texas agis there is the
boys who knows how to fight. The eyes of Texas
(09:57):
is upon you, Yes, Lord, that is the so they
think the way they found like hem, oh, goodbye to
take the university now far the agg is looking here
chick awing a bone, chicken digadoo, hie out what the
world did that mean?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, it's two weeks until the big day. University of
Texas and Texas A and M in Aggie Land to
be the hottest ticket in America, maybe the hottest ticket
in America for a regular season game this year. I
(10:36):
don't know that. I have not checked that. I do
know that housing is absolutely insane because College Station. How
College Station is not built to have that many people
at any given time in that town, so supply and demand. Now,
(10:59):
first some reason, ticket prices through the roof, hotel prices
through the roof. But I don't hear anybody talking about
price gouging. Whatever happened to price gouging. If a gas
station has a rare moment where they've got to push
their people back to work, who don't want to leave,
(11:21):
I mean, who want to leave and get out of
town with the rest of us, and they increase their prices,
that's price scouching, and we can't have that. We need
to put people in prison. We cannot have price couching.
We won't stand for it. You will sell us some
gas for the same price you always sell it for,
even if it was hell to get to the station
and open up charge more for tickets. Isn't this exciting?
(11:42):
That's how we know we're at the right game, because
we have our tickets already right, Why isn't that price couching?
Somebody tell me how that is not price gouging? Over
three thousand I saw it was over three thousand dollars
for a room at like the Day's Inn or a
holiday in Express, because there's just not that much housing
in College Station. College Station as a town, and you
(12:08):
always want to be a town. You don't want to
be a city. You don't want to be perceived as
a city. A town has a vibe, a feel, a community,
a sense. You can have two towns next to them,
college Station and Brian, but you don't want to become
a big city. That's the charm a college town. And
(12:28):
it is growing. There are more things growing up around
that that are bringing in more growth and development, which
will of course change the nature of the town. But
for those for that weekend, and you got to do it,
I think it's a three day you've got to do.
Who wants to do three days? You can't just roll in,
(12:49):
I mean you can you pay ten thousand dollars. You
can't just roll into Aggie Land and get a room
for that night. And the tickets they're already they started
lining up for the for the ticket pool a couple
of days ago. Ticket pull not pool the ticket pool
a few days ago, because I guess I saw something
(13:09):
about there not doing the pool during the Thanksgiving week
or I don't know what happened, But anyway, it is
a very exciting event. And one of those things is
such a great and proud tradition that Longhorns and Aggies
hate each other, and that the game is on and
(13:29):
that you know, you get the Chicken Ranch aft. Oh
you don't get to chicken No more chicken Ranch. Ramon says,
there's no more Chicken Ranch. Uh, what's that?
Speaker 16 (13:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
In that location they moved it? Where where did they
move it? Ramon? Is it rural? The thing about it is,
if the Chicken Ranch was in downtown Houston, I mean,
nobody would have cared. If it was out off Ost,
nobody would have cared. It was the fact that it
was in this little, nice, little sleepy Baptist town there was.
(14:02):
It was the fact that the alumni were involved there.
It was right now there are some people with a smile,
a wistful smile on their face thinking about the Chicken
Ranch and maybe even thinking about winning that game and
being taken to the chicken ranch. And now they're a
bank president. They're on the board of directors of a
(14:22):
fortune five hundred company. And yeah, ago, are you playing
something in the background. Oh okay, I couldn't hear it.
Speaking of great traditions, was twenty five years ago today,
that every person, whether you're a Longhorn Aggie, should respect
(14:42):
one of the great traditions of university life in this country,
one of the great institutional traditions. It was twenty five
years ago today. The Aggie bonfire collapse November eighteenth, nineteen
ninety nine, Seven injured, twelve.
Speaker 16 (15:01):
Today, the Aggie community will never forget. When the sixty
foot tall bonfire structure collapsed on November eighteenth, nineteen ninety nine,
twenty seven were injured and twelve died. Five years later,
the bonfire Memorial was dedicated on campus on the exact
location of the fallen bonfire. Decades later, the community continuing
(15:25):
to hold onto the legacies of those who passed. But
to Aggie fans, it's more than just burning wood. It
started out as a scrap heap in nineteen oh seven,
to then a stack of vertical logs. The school says.
The fight in Texas Aggi bonfire symbolizes the burning desire
to beat the University of Texas in football.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
It's the embodiment of the Aggie spirit, is what I
like to call it. So it's it's all of our
core values wrapped into a physical thing.
Speaker 16 (15:51):
The bonfire even attracting up to seventy thousand people each
year to watch it burn. It burned on campus each
year through nineteen ninety eight, with the exception of nineteen
sixty three as a tribute to President John F. Kennedy
after his assassination. The second time in A and m's
history that the bonfire did not burn on campus was
almost exactly ninety two years after the first bonfire, due
(16:13):
to its collapse in nineteen ninety nine. Student leader Mason
Taylor says, after a break of two years in two
thousand and two, it was brought back by students as
a brush fire before being refined into the stack we
see today. The student led group has it taken part
in building the bonfire back about fifteen miles off campus
every year since then.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
But we haven't forgotten about them, and a lot of
the families actually do come out here and support us,
and to those that don't they appreciate what we do
because we do it safely. In every twelve of those
kids would have wanted this to continue because it's the
best ague traditional.
Speaker 16 (16:45):
Taylor says. Over five hundred students actively participate from February
to November every day of the week to build a
bonfire made up of twenty five hundred logs.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Prep for this started in January of last year, but
then construction, I guess you could say, began in August
with cut So during in August, September, October, we'll go
out and actually cut the trees down by hand before
we ship over here on those trailers and then start stacking.
Speaker 16 (17:08):
But this year marks a new beginning ahead of the
UT and A and M football matchup with the Longhorns
joining the SEC. The last time the two teams met
was twenty eleven.
Speaker 12 (17:19):
Before it burns, there'll be an outhouse on the top
which is just kind of the decoration piece and now
to be Payton burn Orange.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Taylor says.
Speaker 16 (17:26):
The stack will burn on the twenty ninth, ahead of
the big rivalry. Texas. A and M is holding a bonfire,
remember and ceremony at the memorial site on Monday at
two forty two am, the university president invites the community
to stand together as one to remember the fallen.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Aggie's the best way to pay tribute to those kids
who died is to bring back the bonfire. You can't
build new traditions. The best way to pay tribute. The
university is so afraid that for a moment they are
(18:02):
not lionizing these kids as the greatest thing ever and
that we have forgotten. So they constantly say we remember them,
prove it. Bring back the university sanctioned bonfire. It's a
great tradition. You could take sick a sap some of
the fun out of it. You could keep the kids
from being so drunk they're passing out while they're on
(18:23):
the logs, which we all know was happening. You know,
you have fraternity deaths on universities because they drink. They
drink each other. They drink each other silly, they haze
each other silly. You work through that. This is eighteen
to twenty two year old kids. Bring it back. It's
a great tradition. I don't care if somebody it disrespects you.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
You can't shoot them.
Speaker 11 (18:43):
Michael, It's been revoked.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Lord, don't just sit over here, saying why don't you
get up at once awhile to serve somebody as these
ladies do. They want a Coca cola or something, but
don't get in that good stuff. Don't let him in
that cabinet over young, Hey, y'all doing listen, We're gonna
sing some Mosam's girls. Put y'all here in as then
damn no, you ain't gonna made me sing this here.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I ain't saying that's his school. Shut up, that's it.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Don't you so ignorant? This is the state song of
our state.
Speaker 16 (20:14):
Is stupid?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, I got sang it over.
Speaker 17 (20:16):
Pitches Hamker Texas Iba Texas is.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Always be real nice.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Texas. I'm a Texas coffeeish.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Gumbo and rise.
Speaker 15 (20:35):
Bone my boon also, and.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
I say.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
You save under my mouth.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
I don't know your words.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, it's real, real, real, real nice.
Speaker 14 (20:52):
Go head on Texas.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You make.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Dustigar rest is chief and till menight you can stop
and you up there.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We had to have balance, you know, fairness, equity, what
do you call it? Equal time? Equal time? Elon Musk
was with President Trump at the fights this week in
UFC not the not the Paul Tyson fight along with
(21:33):
RFK and Tulsey gathered. I don't know why Tulsey can't
tell them how to pronounce her name. Tulsy in India
is like Wendy or Diana. It's a very common name.
And yet people have read it as Tulsi and they
say Tulsi, and if she would correct them one time,
people would pronounce it how she says it. But anyway,
(21:54):
here I am just carrying the mantle of cultural appropriation
for white people in an white world. Elon Musk with
Donald Trump makes people very nervous, but it fires me up,
not the least of which because when Elon bought Twitter,
he marched in in the middle of the night with
(22:15):
the kitchen sink and laid it down and made a
show of it. He told people that he wanted to
know what they did as a task and that he
would be cutting back. He initially cut back three quarters
of employees. It is reported that he ended up cutting
back close to ninety percent of all employees. And yet
(22:37):
we were told the site will fail. But it turns
out those people weren't involved in coding. Not coding that
you used if you're a Twitter user, not coding that
the end user used, not preventing glitches. Those people were
involved in finding people like me and you and kicking
(23:02):
us off, slowing us down, censoring our speech. And so
when he fired them, it not only didn't hurt the site,
it helped the site. The site has grown to be
the most single most important news and information and interactive
site in the world. There's no question about that. Well, Michael,
(23:28):
I ain't on it. You don't have to be. It's
not important that you're on it. It is still important
that it does have that level of influence. It is
where many people go as their sole news source. In
much the same way Rush Limbaugh was so elon Musk
and the idea that you don't have to hold on
(23:51):
to the norms started the show talking about why people
watched a basically unsanctioned for all intents and purposes fight.
It funny to you remoing that the word sanctioned has
two diametrically opposite meanings that are used interchangeably. The boxing
(24:12):
Commission sanctions the fight, We bless it, we give our impromater,
we authorize it. Okay, Iran has been sanctioned. That means
we do not allow them, we we forbid anyone from
dealing with them. It's the same word used for diabolically
opposite meanings, and you just have to figure out what
(24:35):
that means. That is because trust in institutions is gone.
I read an article over the weekend about the average
person who didn't go to it, did not go to
Yale or Harvard, and the level of respect, all reverence
(24:59):
for the those schools has eroded dramatically. Used to a
poor farmer, or not a poor farmer, a farmer in
Belleville or Winning say, I want my kid to do
good in school, go off Harvard or Yale. Not even
(25:20):
really sure where that was or what would happen there,
but that was the stamp you had made it. That
was the august institution, that was at the top of
the line. That was American aristocracy, if not royalty no more.
(25:42):
Now what has occurred as a result of that is
there is a whole lot more respect and excitement and
energy for people going to a and m ut for
that at her LSU, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech.
(26:08):
And I think that's a good thing because there are
more of those institutions, and I think people should be
proud of where they went, proud of the friendships they
made there, and proud to hold that up. Now. There
is no doubt that part of that is rooted in sports.
But the idea that we no longer have this royal
(26:29):
class of Harvard and Yale, or doctors or fauci or Congress.
I think it's great. I know all about. Ramon wants
to know what around the world is.

Or one single whistling kiddy chaser.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
She's born in College Station, her daddy out of Farmer's PhD.
Her first steps were taken with the coral on cal Phiel.
When she graduated, she bought a maroon pick up truck.
They celebrated down at the Dixie Chickens and she opened
her vet practice up.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He was born in Austin. His daddy had a store
down on the Drag ever since the school had opened.
Relatives were long horned grass, his room was painted orange.
He was getting his degree in the band, playing French
horn first roll, second seat, gig them Maggie's hooking car
(27:38):
on one side room of the burnt Orange Well. He
saw her red a concert way before Robber Rokeine. She
was wearing a naggy shirt. To him, it didn't mean
a thing. Well, he pushed his way on through the crowd,
like getty, old hungry boyd dude. But he's close enough,
(27:58):
he shouted, Hey, man, if I sit by you, But
she turned around and stared at him, couldn't believe her eyes.
He had a burned orange jacket, longhorns from side to side.
She looked again and took a chance, said that's okay
with me. Something in that second chance went beyond the rivalry.
(28:23):
When your eyes are closing, you're in the dark, the
colors are all the same.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
She's just two meeting.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Hearts, not playing any games. You can give them, you
can hook him. One thing will never changed.
Speaker 17 (28:38):
When your eyes are closed and you're in the dark,
colors are all the same. When she went to meet
his mother, she was wearing a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
When they left, they hugged each other. Mom said you're
always welcomed back, which took him home to Daddy. She
worried about the ring in his ear. He was making
pretty good money, but his tattoo is pretty clear. They
decided to get married. Bride's maids war Maroon Mareene Bear
(29:10):
cared to burn orange package through the groom well. The
ring that he gave Or was a diamond mounted on
two thumbs, sitting now on a long oar cradle. Because
when it's said and done, when your eyes are closed
and you're in the dark, the colors are all the same,
just two beating hearts, not playing any games.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
You can give them, you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Can hook them.
Speaker 17 (29:37):
One thing will never change.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
When your eyes are.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Closed and you're in the dark, the colors are all
the same. Now, all they had to do is figure
out where they're gone to live. They flipped the coin
and that is how she got her well over his Or.
They've vacationed up in Curvell and they went down to
the coast well. Their first born they named Earl. You
(30:02):
should have heard them boast every year that Thanksgiving Earl
could take either side. All the birthday gives he was
given were hence they couldn't hide. There were twelve man
t shirts and longhorns of every size. His first two
words were gigum b bo was playing both sides, Gigum,
(30:26):
Maggie's Hug him Horse, one size broom other burn Orange.
When it came time to go to college, Earl didn't
know what to do. His dad wanted him in Austin,
his mom and maroon. Well, the moral love this story
is if you listen to this song, where do y'all
(30:48):
think he went to college? Well, you just might be wrong.
Well he tried both the universities. You don't have to wonder, how,
says with all sincerity, I'm a Southwest extpie kidding now,
When your eyes are closed and you're in the dars,
(31:09):
the colors are all the same.
Speaker 17 (31:11):
Just to bend in hearts not playing any games.
Speaker 12 (31:16):
You can get them and you get.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
A hook them.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
One thing will never change.
Speaker 17 (31:21):
When your eyes are closed and you're in the dark, colors.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Are all the same.
Speaker 12 (31:25):
When your eyes are.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Closed and you're in the dark, the colors.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Are all the same.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
A friend of mine went up to Aggie Land this weekend.
His daughter goes to school there, and he said, I
sat fuel box row eight right behind the Aggie bench.
These are my cousin's seats five thousand per for the
ut game. My hotel was eight hundred dollars a night,
(31:56):
minimum two nights. That was the George. I'm actually surprised
it wasn't nicer in that the nicest I mean, it
wasn't hiring now in that the nicest hotel. They kind
of built the George. From my understanding, I never stayed there.
They kind of built the George for the football season,
they said, and consider this. That was all for New
Mexico State. They've got Auburn this week. Do the Aggies
(32:19):
before University of Texas that Auburn team is I mean,
it's sec that Auburn team is not it. That's not
a layup in the University of Texas has Kentucky, and
that's that's the stoopid boys, and they will sneak up
on you. Didn't Kentucky sneak up on somebody this year?
(32:43):
I feel like they snuck up on huh who, No,
Missispi State's terrible this year, Ole Miss. They might have
snuck up on old Miss. Yes, I think you're right.
They snuck up on Lane Kiffin's team. You know, it's
interesting how everywhere I go. I was sitting out with
(33:05):
some well to do Texans last week and they said, yeah,
nil's fine, but the portal's got to go. What do
you think? And I said, well, first of all, when
NIL was announced, I said, within five years, the University
(33:28):
of Texas will be the top program in the country,
and A and M will be a top five program
in the country every year. And that has not happened.
That's not happened over twenty five years, that those two
would be top five teams year in and year out,
the way Alabama now Georgia, but the way Alabama and
(33:49):
Ohio State have been consistently over a ten year period,
that will be the case. Alabama's not this year. I
know that you don't. We're talking about programs, overall programs,
I said, I could understand if you're sitting in ann Arbor, Michigan,
complaining about NIL, But if you're sitting in Houston, Texas
(34:10):
as Longhorn or Aggie graduates, you should embrace NIL because
UT Incorporated is by far, by far, the biggest donor base,
the most engaged. And what's happened for years is the
(34:33):
Longhorn and Aggie for that matter, alumni want to win,
so they throw money at the program to win. How'd
they do it? Overpaid Jimbo bought out Jimbo's contract for
seventy six million dollars, built stadiums, built workout rooms. Listen,
(34:53):
a lot of these kids have no money, and they
know my chances of going to the pros are not
that good. If you can pay them top money to
come here, you can get the best talent and that
will happen, and once that happens, you're a winner. They
want to be on national TV, and they want to win,
and they want to get paid a bunch of money,
not necessarily in that ordering. If you're going to pay
them the most money, then you've got to have the portal.
(35:16):
But at the end of it, let me ask you,
this is this not the best year for the consumer
as a TV watcher. Every single week is compelling games.
Look at the parody you've gotten the sec along
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Varry Show is on.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
The air, and it really looks like ancient Rome here.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
This is sort of the conquering Republican caesar who's going
into the Colisey and that everyone's cheering and he's got
his political gladiators with him. That appearance isn't just about
him enjoying the applause. He's sending a message to the
Senate for not only are you entertained, but these are
my people and are you willing to fight?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Because here's who I have.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I also want to say a big, big thank you
to President Donald Trump for being here to hide.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Hey, what do you gotta think about.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
My version of the Donald Trump?
Speaker 7 (00:57):
Check it out?
Speaker 8 (01:03):
You say you have, Let's go. That's what I'm proud.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I'm proud to be a great American champion. I'm proud
to be a Christian American champion down bad.
Speaker 9 (01:39):
I think the whole point with these nominees, several of them,
is their unqualification, is their affirmative disqualification. That's Trump's point,
because what he wants to do with these nominees is
establish that the congress Unized States will not stand up
to him with anything. If they will confirm Matt Gates,
(01:59):
they do anything he wants.
Speaker 10 (02:01):
Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms should be the name of a
chain of convenience stores in Florida, not a federal agency.
We need to abolish the ATF before they abolish our
Second Amendment rights.
Speaker 11 (02:20):
What kind of power and influence you think R.
Speaker 12 (02:33):
FK.
Speaker 13 (02:34):
Junior would have, you know, Martha, I am outraged because
lives are at stake here. The head of Health and
Human Services touches programs that affect every single life in
our country. I've been focusing mainly on the public health
impacts you know. As you know, I'm a pediatrician. I
practice pediatrics for more than thirty years, and there's nothing
(02:57):
that I've done for my patients that I know has
more positive impact then getting them vaccinated fully and on time.
And to have someone leading AHHS who is one of
the biggest deniers of vaccines in our country would undermine
the confidence in that program, and likeli, would cost lives.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw an explosion
in chronic disease and American children. The neurological disease suddenly
exploded in nineteen eighty nine, eight EIGHTHD sleep disorders, a
language delays ASD, autism, to reg syndrome, tics, narcolepsy. These
(03:39):
are all things that I never heard of. Autism went
from one in ten thousand of my generation according to
the CDC data, one in every thirty four years today.
Speaker 14 (03:52):
With the time, I could literally read headlines.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Of major news stories for the entirety of this show.
So many things happening so fast. Trump had built his
transition team already prior to winning so that they could
immediately begin to move swiftly and build their teams. He
(04:31):
had done so with his own money. Now I don't
know if that came from campaign money or his personal money,
but he had done it with non governmental money. And
the reason he did that was to be in a
position that the government could not put moles as they
did in twenty sixteen. Again, this is the do over.
(04:54):
Can't tell you how many guys I've seen got married,
on track, got busy at work, got distracted, didn't pay
attention to the kids, just paid attention to work and hunting,
and sort of neglected the family. They start over twenty
years later, second time around, and it's a very different
(05:18):
approach to marriage and parenting. Having seen what can happen,
the twenty sixteen experience has made Trump a very very
different transition period president, and I think will make him
a very different president altogether. So Friday Night, the Tyson
(05:43):
Paul fight and everyone is disappointed at the end because
it was silly. He wasn't a real fight, and deep
down people knew that, but they still would have tuned in.
Many people saying, oh, this is an extreme embarrassment for Netflix.
(06:06):
It's buffering. Netflix is done. Wait a minute, what competition
does Netflix have? Netflix made out like bandits in terms
of pr I mean, it's a net cost to them.
But I would assume that as a result of this,
(06:28):
a lot of people bought a Netflix subscription that have
never had one before and now figured out, oh, there's
a bunch of stuff on there. Although if you really
want the old movies, you go to Prime. You got
to have them both because Prime has all the old movies,
the classic movies. Netflix has the newer stuff and the
stuff that they put that they go out and meg
or have made. But I heard the question starting to
(06:50):
be asked in the boxing circle, who sanctioned this? And
that made me think about something. This fight probably wouldn't
have been saying in the old days with the old
boxing Commission, almost certainly would not have However, was it
good entertainment? Are you not entertained? Yes? It was entertainment,
(07:18):
nothing more, nothing less and secret so was boxing. Can't
take it too seriously, but it got me to thinking
a fight that didn't have the traditional trappings of a
belt at play, and it was really just an exhibition,
(07:39):
didn't have the sanctioning, didn't have all the things that
in the old days you had to have. Why did
people still watch it? Well, there are a lot of reasons,
and it's a social phenomena. It's interesting when you step
back and think about that. I know a lot of
people who watch that who would never watch a boxing match.
(07:59):
I love UFC and Chad's a UFC nut, but there
is something about the sweet science. Sitting in a chair
next to my dad and watching Larry Holmes fight, watching
George Foreman, especially in his later days, fight. Oh it
was magical. Savarye and Tyson and Buster Douglas and Leonard
(08:22):
Lennox Lewis and all of those guys. And it comes
down to this, we didn't need anybody to sanction the fight,
regardless of what you thought of the quality of the fight,
because sanctioning bodies in this country have lost respect, just
as the medical industry has lost respect, the FDA has
(08:44):
lost respect. Ivy League education has lost respect. Read an
article this weekend on how the respect from the general
public for a Harvard and Yelle degree has diminished drastically.
Sylvester Turner, the mayor and a human being?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
Will Michael Benshaw?
Speaker 15 (09:26):
What y'all want me to stay in this here?
Speaker 8 (09:28):
Fuck?
Speaker 12 (09:29):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Evil?
Speaker 15 (09:31):
Okay? Yeah, how you pronounced the words?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Chuckle?
Speaker 15 (09:35):
Malut Man, the connect tablot who commits. Goodbye to Texas
University of Texas, Goodbye to Urge and White Lord, good
luck to them. They're on Texas agis there is the
boys who knows how to fight. The eyes of Texas
(09:57):
is upon you, Yes, Lord, that is the so they
think the way they found like hem, oh, goodbye to
take the university now far the agg is looking here
chick awing a bone, chicken digadoo, hie out what the
world did that mean?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, it's two weeks until the big day. University of
Texas and Texas A and M in Aggie Land to
be the hottest ticket in America, maybe the hottest ticket
in America for a regular season game this year. I
(10:36):
don't know that. I have not checked that. I do
know that housing is absolutely insane because College Station. How
College Station is not built to have that many people
at any given time in that town, so supply and demand. Now,
(10:59):
first some reason, ticket prices through the roof, hotel prices
through the roof. But I don't hear anybody talking about
price gouging. Whatever happened to price gouging. If a gas
station has a rare moment where they've got to push
their people back to work, who don't want to leave,
(11:21):
I mean, who want to leave and get out of
town with the rest of us, and they increase their prices,
that's price scouching, and we can't have that. We need
to put people in prison. We cannot have price couching.
We won't stand for it. You will sell us some
gas for the same price you always sell it for,
even if it was hell to get to the station
and open up charge more for tickets. Isn't this exciting?
(11:42):
That's how we know we're at the right game, because
we have our tickets already right, Why isn't that price couching?
Somebody tell me how that is not price gouging? Over
three thousand I saw it was over three thousand dollars
for a room at like the Day's Inn or a
holiday in Express, because there's just not that much housing
in College Station. College Station as a town, and you
(12:08):
always want to be a town. You don't want to
be a city. You don't want to be perceived as
a city. A town has a vibe, a feel, a community,
a sense. You can have two towns next to them,
college Station and Brian, but you don't want to become
a big city. That's the charm a college town. And
(12:28):
it is growing. There are more things growing up around
that that are bringing in more growth and development, which
will of course change the nature of the town. But
for those for that weekend, and you got to do it,
I think it's a three day you've got to do.
Who wants to do three days? You can't just roll in,
(12:49):
I mean you can you pay ten thousand dollars. You
can't just roll into Aggie Land and get a room
for that night. And the tickets they're already they started
lining up for the for the ticket pool a couple
of days ago. Ticket pull not pool the ticket pool
a few days ago, because I guess I saw something
(13:09):
about there not doing the pool during the Thanksgiving week
or I don't know what happened, But anyway, it is
a very exciting event. And one of those things is
such a great and proud tradition that Longhorns and Aggies
hate each other, and that the game is on and
(13:29):
that you know, you get the Chicken Ranch aft. Oh
you don't get to chicken No more chicken Ranch. Ramon says,
there's no more Chicken Ranch. Uh, what's that?
Speaker 16 (13:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
In that location they moved it? Where where did they
move it? Ramon? Is it rural? The thing about it is,
if the Chicken Ranch was in downtown Houston, I mean,
nobody would have cared. If it was out off Ost,
nobody would have cared. It was the fact that it
was in this little, nice, little sleepy Baptist town there was.
(14:02):
It was the fact that the alumni were involved there.
It was right now there are some people with a smile,
a wistful smile on their face thinking about the Chicken
Ranch and maybe even thinking about winning that game and
being taken to the chicken ranch. And now they're a
bank president. They're on the board of directors of a
(14:22):
fortune five hundred company. And yeah, ago, are you playing
something in the background. Oh okay, I couldn't hear it.
Speaking of great traditions, was twenty five years ago today,
that every person, whether you're a Longhorn Aggie, should respect
(14:42):
one of the great traditions of university life in this country,
one of the great institutional traditions. It was twenty five
years ago today. The Aggie bonfire collapse November eighteenth, nineteen
ninety nine, Seven injured, twelve.
Speaker 16 (15:01):
Today, the Aggie community will never forget. When the sixty
foot tall bonfire structure collapsed on November eighteenth, nineteen ninety nine,
twenty seven were injured and twelve died. Five years later,
the bonfire Memorial was dedicated on campus on the exact
location of the fallen bonfire. Decades later, the community continuing
(15:25):
to hold onto the legacies of those who passed. But
to Aggie fans, it's more than just burning wood. It
started out as a scrap heap in nineteen oh seven,
to then a stack of vertical logs. The school says.
The fight in Texas Aggi bonfire symbolizes the burning desire
to beat the University of Texas in football.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
It's the embodiment of the Aggie spirit, is what I
like to call it. So it's it's all of our
core values wrapped into a physical thing.
Speaker 16 (15:51):
The bonfire even attracting up to seventy thousand people each
year to watch it burn. It burned on campus each
year through nineteen ninety eight, with the exception of nineteen
sixty three as a tribute to President John F. Kennedy
after his assassination. The second time in A and m's
history that the bonfire did not burn on campus was
almost exactly ninety two years after the first bonfire, due
(16:13):
to its collapse in nineteen ninety nine. Student leader Mason
Taylor says, after a break of two years in two
thousand and two, it was brought back by students as
a brush fire before being refined into the stack we
see today. The student led group has it taken part
in building the bonfire back about fifteen miles off campus
every year since then.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
But we haven't forgotten about them, and a lot of
the families actually do come out here and support us,
and to those that don't they appreciate what we do
because we do it safely. In every twelve of those
kids would have wanted this to continue because it's the
best ague traditional.
Speaker 16 (16:45):
Taylor says. Over five hundred students actively participate from February
to November every day of the week to build a
bonfire made up of twenty five hundred logs.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Prep for this started in January of last year, but
then construction, I guess you could say, began in August
with cut So during in August, September, October, we'll go
out and actually cut the trees down by hand before
we ship over here on those trailers and then start stacking.
Speaker 16 (17:08):
But this year marks a new beginning ahead of the
UT and A and M football matchup with the Longhorns
joining the SEC. The last time the two teams met
was twenty eleven.
Speaker 12 (17:19):
Before it burns, there'll be an outhouse on the top
which is just kind of the decoration piece and now
to be Payton burn Orange.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Taylor says.
Speaker 16 (17:26):
The stack will burn on the twenty ninth, ahead of
the big rivalry. Texas. A and M is holding a bonfire,
remember and ceremony at the memorial site on Monday at
two forty two am, the university president invites the community
to stand together as one to remember the fallen.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Aggie's the best way to pay tribute to those kids
who died is to bring back the bonfire. You can't
build new traditions. The best way to pay tribute. The
university is so afraid that for a moment they are
(18:02):
not lionizing these kids as the greatest thing ever and
that we have forgotten. So they constantly say we remember them,
prove it. Bring back the university sanctioned bonfire. It's a
great tradition. You could take sick a sap some of
the fun out of it. You could keep the kids
from being so drunk they're passing out while they're on
(18:23):
the logs, which we all know was happening. You know,
you have fraternity deaths on universities because they drink. They
drink each other. They drink each other silly, they haze
each other silly. You work through that. This is eighteen
to twenty two year old kids. Bring it back. It's
a great tradition. I don't care if somebody it disrespects you.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
You can't shoot them.
Speaker 11 (18:43):
Michael, It's been revoked.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Lord, don't just sit over here, saying why don't you
get up at once awhile to serve somebody as these
ladies do. They want a Coca cola or something, but
don't get in that good stuff. Don't let him in
that cabinet over young, Hey, y'all doing listen, We're gonna
sing some Mosam's girls. Put y'all here in as then
damn no, you ain't gonna made me sing this here.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I ain't saying that's his school. Shut up, that's it.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Don't you so ignorant? This is the state song of
our state.
Speaker 16 (20:14):
Is stupid?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, I got sang it over.
Speaker 17 (20:16):
Pitches Hamker Texas Iba Texas is.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Always be real nice.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Texas. I'm a Texas coffeeish.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Gumbo and rise.
Speaker 15 (20:35):
Bone my boon also, and.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
I say.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
You save under my mouth.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
I don't know your words.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, it's real, real, real, real nice.
Speaker 14 (20:52):
Go head on Texas.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You make.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Dustigar rest is chief and till menight you can stop
and you up there.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We had to have balance, you know, fairness, equity, what
do you call it? Equal time? Equal time? Elon Musk
was with President Trump at the fights this week in
UFC not the not the Paul Tyson fight along with
(21:33):
RFK and Tulsey gathered. I don't know why Tulsey can't
tell them how to pronounce her name. Tulsy in India
is like Wendy or Diana. It's a very common name.
And yet people have read it as Tulsi and they
say Tulsi, and if she would correct them one time,
people would pronounce it how she says it. But anyway,
(21:54):
here I am just carrying the mantle of cultural appropriation
for white people in an white world. Elon Musk with
Donald Trump makes people very nervous, but it fires me up,
not the least of which because when Elon bought Twitter,
he marched in in the middle of the night with
(22:15):
the kitchen sink and laid it down and made a
show of it. He told people that he wanted to
know what they did as a task and that he
would be cutting back. He initially cut back three quarters
of employees. It is reported that he ended up cutting
back close to ninety percent of all employees. And yet
(22:37):
we were told the site will fail. But it turns
out those people weren't involved in coding. Not coding that
you used if you're a Twitter user, not coding that
the end user used, not preventing glitches. Those people were
involved in finding people like me and you and kicking
(23:02):
us off, slowing us down, censoring our speech. And so
when he fired them, it not only didn't hurt the site,
it helped the site. The site has grown to be
the most single most important news and information and interactive
site in the world. There's no question about that. Well, Michael,
(23:28):
I ain't on it. You don't have to be. It's
not important that you're on it. It is still important
that it does have that level of influence. It is
where many people go as their sole news source. In
much the same way Rush Limbaugh was so elon Musk
and the idea that you don't have to hold on
(23:51):
to the norms started the show talking about why people
watched a basically unsanctioned for all intents and purposes fight.
It funny to you remoing that the word sanctioned has
two diametrically opposite meanings that are used interchangeably. The boxing
(24:12):
Commission sanctions the fight, We bless it, we give our impromater,
we authorize it. Okay, Iran has been sanctioned. That means
we do not allow them, we we forbid anyone from
dealing with them. It's the same word used for diabolically
opposite meanings, and you just have to figure out what
(24:35):
that means. That is because trust in institutions is gone.
I read an article over the weekend about the average
person who didn't go to it, did not go to
Yale or Harvard, and the level of respect, all reverence
(24:59):
for the those schools has eroded dramatically. Used to a
poor farmer, or not a poor farmer, a farmer in
Belleville or Winning say, I want my kid to do
good in school, go off Harvard or Yale. Not even
(25:20):
really sure where that was or what would happen there,
but that was the stamp you had made it. That
was the august institution, that was at the top of
the line. That was American aristocracy, if not royalty no more.
(25:42):
Now what has occurred as a result of that is
there is a whole lot more respect and excitement and
energy for people going to a and m ut for
that at her LSU, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech.
(26:08):
And I think that's a good thing because there are
more of those institutions, and I think people should be
proud of where they went, proud of the friendships they
made there, and proud to hold that up. Now. There
is no doubt that part of that is rooted in sports.
But the idea that we no longer have this royal
(26:29):
class of Harvard and Yale, or doctors or fauci or Congress.
I think it's great. I know all about. Ramon wants
to know what around the world is.

Her first steps were taken with the coral on cal Phiel.
When she graduated, she bought a maroon pick up truck.
They celebrated down at the Dixie Chickens and she opened
her vet practice up.

Now.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He was born in Austin. His daddy had a store
down on the Drag ever since the school had opened.
Relatives were long horned grass, his room was painted orange.
He was getting his degree in the band, playing French
horn first roll, second seat, gig them Maggie's hooking car
(27:38):
on one side room of the burnt Orange Well. He
saw her red a concert way before Robber Rokeine. She
was wearing a naggy shirt. To him, it didn't mean
a thing. Well, he pushed his way on through the crowd,
like getty, old hungry boyd dude. But he's close enough,
(27:58):
he shouted, Hey, man, if I sit by you, But
she turned around and stared at him, couldn't believe her eyes.
He had a burned orange jacket, longhorns from side to side.
She looked again and took a chance, said that's okay
with me. Something in that second chance went beyond the rivalry.
(28:23):
When your eyes are closing, you're in the dark, the
colors are all the same.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
She's just two meeting.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Hearts, not playing any games. You can give them, you
can hook him. One thing will never changed.
Speaker 17 (28:38):
When your eyes are closed and you're in the dark,
colors are all the same. When she went to meet
his mother, she was wearing a cowboy hat.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
When they left, they hugged each other. Mom said you're
always welcomed back, which took him home to Daddy. She
worried about the ring in his ear. He was making
pretty good money, but his tattoo is pretty clear. They
decided to get married. Bride's maids war Maroon Mareene Bear

when it's said and done, when your eyes are closed
and you're in the dark, the colors are all the same,
just two beating hearts, not playing any games.
Speaker 8 (29:34):
You can give them, you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Can hook them.
Speaker 17 (29:37):
One thing will never change.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
When your eyes are.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Closed and you're in the dark, the colors are all
the same. Now, all they had to do is figure
out where they're gone to live. They flipped the coin
and that is how she got her well over his Or.
They've vacationed up in Curvell and they went down to

(30:02):
should have heard them boast every year that Thanksgiving Earl

When it came time to go to college, Earl didn't
know what to do. His dad wanted him in Austin,
his mom and maroon. Well, the moral love this story
is if you listen to this song, where do y'all
(30:48):
think he went to college? Well, you just might be wrong.
Well he tried both the universities. You don't have to wonder, how,
says with all sincerity, I'm a Southwest extpie kidding now,
When your eyes are closed and you're in the dars,
(31:09):
the colors are all the same.

A friend of mine went up to Aggie Land this weekend.
His daughter goes to school there, and he said, I
sat fuel box row eight right behind the Aggie bench.
These are my cousin's seats five thousand per for the
ut game. My hotel was eight hundred dollars a night,
(31:56):
minimum two nights. That was the George. I'm actually surprised
it wasn't nicer in that the nicest I mean, it
wasn't hiring now in that the nicest hotel. They kind
of built the George. From my understanding, I never stayed there.
They kind of built the George for the football season,
they said, and consider this. That was all for New
Mexico State. They've got Auburn this week. Do the Aggies
(32:19):
before University of Texas that Auburn team is I mean,
it's sec that Auburn team is not it. That's not
a layup in the University of Texas has Kentucky, and
that's that's the stoopid boys, and they will sneak up
on you. Didn't Kentucky sneak up on somebody this year?
(32:43):
I feel like they snuck up on huh who, No,
Missispi State's terrible this year, Ole Miss. They might have
snuck up on old Miss. Yes, I think you're right.
They snuck up on Lane Kiffin's team. You know, it's
interesting how everywhere I go. I was sitting out with
(33:05):
some well to do Texans last week and they said, yeah,
nil's fine, but the portal's got to go. What do
you think? And I said, well, first of all, when
NIL was announced, I said, within five years, the University
(33:28):
of Texas will be the top program in the country,
and A and M will be a top five program
in the country every year. And that has not happened.
That's not happened over twenty five years, that those two
would be top five teams year in and year out,
the way Alabama now Georgia, but the way Alabama and
(33:49):
Ohio State have been consistently over a ten year period,
that will be the case. Alabama's not this year. I
know that you don't. We're talking about programs, overall programs,
I said, I could understand if you're sitting in ann Arbor, Michigan,
complaining about NIL, But if you're sitting in Houston, Texas
(34:10):
as Longhorn or Aggie graduates, you should embrace NIL because
UT Incorporated is by far, by far, the biggest donor base,
the most engaged. And what's happened for years is the
(34:33):
Longhorn and Aggie for that matter, alumni want to win,
so they throw money at the program to win. How'd
they do it? Overpaid Jimbo bought out Jimbo's contract for
seventy six million dollars, built stadiums, built workout rooms. Listen,
(34:53):
a lot of these kids have no money, and they
know my chances of going to the pros are not
that good. If you can pay them top money to
come here, you can get the best talent and that
will happen, and once that happens, you're a winner. They
want to be on national TV, and they want to win,
and they want to get paid a bunch of money,
not necessarily in that ordering. If you're going to pay
them the most money, then you've got to have the portal.
(35:16):
But at the end of it, let me ask you,
this is this not the best year for the consumer
as a TV watcher. Every single week is compelling games.
Look at the parody you've gotten the sec along
