Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Since you brought up the declassification report that was put
out by Senator Grassley today, I'm glad you brought it
up because this should be a story every outlet in
this room should be covering. This is further evidence that
Hillary Clinton approved the Russia hoax against President Trump. Her
campaign financed it. Again, she approved it, and the FBI
and the CIA were both weaponized to, as our Director
(00:35):
of CIA has said, accelerate this hoax against then candidates
and former President Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
This week, I leave the children off YouTube, teach them
will and let them lead the way, show them all
the beauty they possess inside, give them a sin and
pride to make it easier. The children's lived after reminds
(01:11):
how we use to be never boy searching for you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
People need some one to look up.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I never found anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Britthey Bolton is our guest. She's a teacher at Cross
Elementary in Brenham, starting her eleventh year. Is that right, yes, sir,
And you said you're back today getting ready, But what
is the first day of actual school?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
First day of school? School is August the thirteenth, which
is next Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Okay, for the kid, How is it different for you
after thirteen years than when you started?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Oh, the class sizes, the disciplinary issues, the lack of
parenting for the negative side, But as far as like
the positive side, you still see individuals going through college
wanting to be the teacher, wanting to make that impact
in the student's life. So, I mean, it's not like
(02:19):
a lost career. It's still growing, but there's still work
to be done in this time and age.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Does your husband wear a cowboy hat in every photo?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yes, I'm surprised he doesn't sleep with it on.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He better be a real cowboy. As much of a
cowboy hat fella wearing fella as he.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Is, he he likes to wear them.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean he's got the belt buckle digging into his belly,
he's got the worn blue jeans, he's got the cowboy
hat and the pearl snapshirt in every picture. This guy,
I'll tell you what if he a' a real cowboy,
he sure looks like one. I noticed you where's his buttons?
Don't He goes down to the third button like like
(03:09):
a used car dealer. But I think it's because the
shirt doesn't fit, right, I think he goes all the
way down.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yep, he likes to wear it. I guess he has
his own little fashion.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Y'all could be the postcard for small town, patriotic, decent America. There,
y'all are walking along with your little girl between y'all
as she as only child?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yes, only child?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Would baby.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
To be honest with you, I don't see how people
afford it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How does that work? Hey, y'all need to stay away
from each other because everybody so, y'all stay up? Okay, yeah,
oh wow, Okay, that's uh. It's the first time I've
heard that term, but it makes sense. It's still interesting
for me enough to has passed to see what people
were doing when they were in lockdown because we never changed.
We came to the studio. I never wore a mask.
(04:06):
If you want me in your story, right, I have to.
I just I just as mattress Mac says, I just
didn't participate. This says you studied veterinary teck at Lone Star.
How come you didn't do veterinary school.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well, let's just say it was a lot more time
consuming than I expected. Being in that I was in
the veterinary field before education for ten years. And so
from there I just wanted another career change and you
enjoyed that. I still have a good relationship with my vetor. Yes,
I sure did, and it helped me. It helped me
(04:43):
go go along with going into more education where it's
just like I appreciate that I was able to have
that experience an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
But here we are, man, y'all are so all American.
You look at Norman Rockwell painting, you want the details,
Give me some patriotic music. Here is Bridget Bolton per
her Facebook page b O. L. T. E. And Bridget Weiss's.

Krous Elementary School. Lives in Belleville, Texas. From Belleville, Texas. Married,
(05:37):

hat in every picture. I mean, this is Americana right here.
You don't get more America than I'm serious to say.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I am proud to be an American.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You've got a clip of the astros on here, You've
got reference reads your Bible. I mean, this is it,
This is this? And then you got a who's your
gal that was playing at Olivia Bolton Belleville Farm and Ranch.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh yes, she's running for fair queen?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh absolutely yes? And who is that your.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Knees Fair season is coming up?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes, So that means that every feed store I go
to in the area is going to have her picture
and how you need to support her.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
She there's one feed store in Beoville that is her sponsor.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Bebo Okay Farm and Ranch. Bolton's Dozer Service. What is
this Boltons?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That's my brother in law's. Yes, he has. He has
his own dozer business. He's been doing that for twenty
something years.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Oh this is all Yeah, what does your dad do?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
My dad actually passed away back in twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Twenty one from COVID.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But he was a law enforcement officer. Well he did
get the JAB and it makes your mind wonder, so yes,
but yes, he was a law Enforcement officer. He was
in DPS for several years and served his county and
his states very well.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He was wise, Yes, he was wise. And your mother,
what does she do?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
She actually passed away in August of twenty twenty one
as well. She got the JAB and was never the same.
So it makes your mind wonder again. She was Austin
County Juvenile probation officer. She was chief a Juvenile probation
officer in the nineties up until twenty Maybe she was
I thinking for twenty five years. But she was also
(07:52):
the Austin County dispatcher when she was straight out of
high school fifteen years old and just basically stayed in
law force spent all of her career.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
What's your daughter's name? Oh, that's right, you're not. You're
telling them, well, good luck to Bailey in kindergarten. And
I am so so reassured to know there are good
people like you teaching your kids. Michael very show and
this is my damn country. I thought for this country,
this is mine. He was funny. The things you remember
(08:28):
from the childhood must have been somewhere around seventy five,
seventy six, seventy seven, seventy eight. I don't know. I
was pretty young, but I really looked up to my
uncle Preston. And he was a mechanic, and he was
a real, real bad alcoholic. Alcohol got the better of
(08:49):
him and controlled him most of his life. But heart
of gold and I adored was my mother's uncle Preston.
And he would move out from my grandmother's trailer when
he'd kind of get himself sobered up or go to rehab,
(09:10):
and then he'd start working. He'd rent some little garage,
like just a shade trie garage, but everybody loved the
work he did, and he'd, you know, he'd start building up,
building up and doing well again. And then one Friday,
after he got paid on a job, he might go
(09:31):
a wall for a few days, and then you wouldn't
know where your vehicle was. My mother'd get calls and
all held break loose, and we'd know, oh, uncle Preston's
off the wagon again. But I'll never forget. And I
don't know why I was telling my wife this story recently.
I asked him one day, let's say, well, I guess
(09:51):
somebody could look up for me and tell me what
year he played the rodeo. If it was only once.
Then we'll know what year this happened. And then ain't
for out how old I was, But he had woken
up and Crown Royal was his drink. And I can
remember in the morning he would wake up and it
was one of those single wide trailers, the old fashioned trailers.
And I have an aunt named Gail, who is severely
(10:15):
mentally and physically retarded. She lived in the When you
walked into the trailer, you always entered on the side
of those trailers, you know, the lengthwise obviously, not the
not down at the end. You'd enter halfway through the trailer.
And so down at the far right there was a
bathroom down there, and next to the bathroom attached was
Gail's room, and Gail could enter the bathroom from her
(10:38):
bedroom or right next to it, there was a door
in the hallway, so that could be also kind of
the public bathroom. And then but before you got to that,
as you were walking down the hallway, right there on
the left was Uncle Preston's room, which was just a
simple little room with a bed, and he used to
give me the cloth bags. If any of you have
(10:59):
ever seen the cloth bag, because they put that they
put Crown Royal in I loved those bags. I would
use one for my pennies and one for my nickels,
and one for my dimes and quarters and on anoint anyway.
I can remember in the morning when I would stay
over there, he wake up in the morning, he'd crawled
down the hallway and he'd hug the toilet and you'd
(11:19):
hear it, and it was a dry heave, and man,
it was a terrible, terrible thing to hear. And I
didn't realize what a bad mood a person is in
when they're at that hungover stage. And he comes staggering
into the living room the next morning. He's got his
jeans on and he's been dry heaving. He's got no
shirt on. And I said, good morning, Uncle President, And
(11:42):
I said the radio was on and there was Glenn
Campbell's on. I said, Glenn Campbell's coming to the Astronome.
He's gonna be at Houston, which was might as well
have been New York's for as I was concerned being
an Orange. And he said, I wouldn't watch Glenn Campbell.
VI's across the street. And what bothers me is I'm
fifty four years old. That's approximately fifty years ago, and
(12:06):
I can't understand why he was so mad at Glenn Campbell.
How can you be that mad at Glenn Campbell? What
did Glenn Campbell do? And to this day, I can't
imagine what Glenn Campbell did that made him so dang mad.
It blows my mind. How you get that angry at
(12:30):
Glenn Campbell? But he did, But he did. They showed
a picture of the Democrats who fled to Illinois, and
the governor of Illinois. Boy, he's looking like a real
star on all this and all the Democrats are crowded
in there, real tight beside him. If you ever watch
one of the funniest thing is to watch political figures
(12:51):
when there's a press conference and they all gym in,
they're real tight so they can be seen on screen.
Sheila Jackson Lee was the master of that. And she'd
get right up in and she'd get right up under
somebody's arm. In fact, when there was a storm or
some sort of tragedy, you can see the person who's
in charge looking down at her because she wasn't very tall,
(13:12):
but they look down and there she is down there,
and then up on top like a pile of do doo.
I'm sorry, but that's the description. It'd be the triple
crown weave. Sometimes she'd add a fourth one on there,
dependent on, you know, the pageantry of the occasion would
would necessitate how many levels of weave. Sometimes you might
have a single weave or a double. But for something
(13:32):
kind of big that's going to be nationally broadcast, you
go triple crown. And occasionally for a coronation, immaculation or baptism,
she might throw a fourth or fifth on there, and
it would get pure blown behive Sheila jacks Lee, But
that thing would she'd be up in there beside them,
and she be trying to horn in. And what would
happen is they'd go to take a breath right in
(13:53):
the middle of a sentence, and she'd grab that mic
and get on it because she wasn't going to miss
that chance. She wasn't gonna miss it, not even a
little bit. Well, there's all the politicians in Illinois and
all the state reps and things from Texas and there,
you know, they fled Texas. Oh my goodness, we're gonna
go and arrest them. Oh, we're gonna talk big and
say we're gonna arrest them. But we're not a damn thing.
(14:14):
We all know it. And so there they are, and
there's Pritsker. But the problem is they're gonna have to
pull back on the shot because Pritzker is so fat.
This guy is Chris Christi fat, so he's occupying the
entire screen and all of the others are trying to
get into frame but they can't. So it's kind of
(14:35):
like have you ever seen them big fat women that
steal stuff from the grocery store and then they make
them when they get out, they make them pull the
stuff out, And so they'll pull up one of them
flanks underneath their right boob and there'll be a big
old cube steak underneath there, just they've they've stuffed it
up under there. Probably cools them down because it probably
gets real hot and sweaty and itchy and all that
(14:58):
and stuff rashes and stuff underneath those flaps of fat.
Well there's those Democrats and they are I mean, they
are tucked up under they are trying to get in
the frame. They're trying to be singing, because what's the
point of running to Illinois and having a press conference
if we're not going to get to be on the scene,
and there's Pritzker and he's sweating, and you know, he's smelling,
(15:18):
and they're up under his armpits, and you know, it
smells like ass up under there. Michael. It's a damn shame.
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a
damn shame. He busted in the big Man Moon right
there on the spot. I mean, you've already stuck here
(15:39):
and the Kadian Freeway is shut down, and there there
you go. So Commissioner Tom Ramsey sent me a message,
since we're talking about it being a two urned thirty
fifth Anniverse or two fifth, sorry, two hundred and thirty
fifth birthday of the Coastguard, he said, I'm sure you
(16:04):
remember this Coastguard hero. One of the little girls he
saved as an engineer is the daughter of an engineer
who works for me, and the story went A US
Coastguard rescue swimmer Petty Officer Scott Ruskin is being hailed
as a hero for saving one hundred and sixty five
people during a rescue operation in the Texas floods. He
(16:26):
was the primary triosh coordinator during the rescue at Camp
Mystic and Tom Ramsey said he literally pulled little Gracie
from the river in the worst of the storm. My goodness,
how many people ever saved one life in the course
(16:50):
of our own journey on this earth, And this fellow,
one hundred sixty five he met his moment, My goodness, alive.
Take a seat, brother, take a breath, take a victory lap.
We're trying to get him on the show. Jim mudg
just sent me a message. Scott Ruskin is on duty
(17:10):
and cannot join the show this morning. I'm trying to
nail him down for later in the week. People drive
me so crazy. What do you mean he can't join
the show this morning. Let's work through that for a moment.
I know I'm going to hear from somebody else. You
don't understand. People can't just when they're on work. They
can't just get on the phone and get on the
radio with you because you're a Zoro talk. It doesn't
(17:31):
work that way. Yeah, actually it does. Actually it does.
Because here's how this works. So if there was an
emergency at his house, god forbid, his house was burning down,
they called him. He wouldn't say, can't talk, I'm on duty.
They say, your house is burning down. He goh, well,
I can talk right, you can talk physically. You can
talk now while are you talking in this case about
(17:56):
being a badass swimmer for the Coastguard and saving all
these lives. It's in the Coastguard's interest that you do
the interview because now other people will go, well, I
want to be a badass like that too, want to?
I want to? I want to. I want to join
(18:19):
the Coastguard. It'll be the best recruiting they ever did.
I'm not mad at him, people getting nervous. I just
wish when people called they would all just jump up
down because we were excited that they wanted to be
on the show. That's all ramon. It's not that big
a deal. So Glenn Campbell performed at the Houston lou
(18:42):
Start Showing Rodeo in nineteen seventy one, nineteen seventy two,
in nineteen seventy six. Well, I remember this conversation with
Uncle Preston. So it wasn't seventy one or seventy two,
because I would have I was born November tenth of
seventy so if he performed in the spring of seventy one,
(19:05):
I was a few months old. In the spring of
seventy two, I was a year and a few months old.
In the spring of seventy six, I was five and
a half years old. And that's about where this is
locked in in my memory. He performed two shows in
a row, Thursday, March fourth and Friday, March fifth, So
(19:32):
that is your story. There is still one camp mystic
Camper unaccounted for. Her name is spelled c I L E.
I'm going to say Seal. If somebody knows that I'm mispronouncing,
I'd like to get it right, as in Cecil. It
(19:53):
could be Kylie. I don't know it's c I L E.
I'd like to get her name right. Stewart is her
last name. And this is the update from her family. Now,
mind you, today is one month since that July fourth flood.
It feels like it was ten years ago, doesn't it.
It's been an excruciating month of grief, loss and waiting
(20:13):
for news of our precious Seal. We are shattered by
this tragedy, but we're also filled with tremendous gratitude for
the outpouring of support as we navigate the unimaginable to
the brave search and rescue sorry to the brave search
and recovery crews who've been working tirelessly to find her
and bring her home. There aren't words sufficient to express
(20:37):
our thanks. Your dedication means everything to our family, and
your continued efforts give us hope that we may soon
be able to bring our baby home and begin to heal.
Please don't give up on our girl. To our family's
friends and community, your love, support and prayers have been
a lifeline. We are forever grateful for every word of
(20:59):
kindness and sure of support. We could not walk through
these difficult times without you. I hope I'm pronouncing our
name right if I'm not, letting me know, and I'll
fix it to our seal bug. Our love for you
is endless and boundless. We feel you everywhere and are
(21:22):
thankful for every single moment of your brief and beautiful life.
We will miss you every day until we meet again,
sweet girl. With love, Ceci and Will Stewart. My goodness,
I got a message from one of the little girl's
(21:43):
fathers who perished at Camp Hope, and he said, can
I get the number for your friend that does the
videos we lost our daughter. I'm not going to say
the name because I'm not auf the rest too. We
lost our daughter and we want her sister. Because the
little girl was I think six, We want her six
(22:05):
and a half. We want her sister to remember who
she was. And I said, it's Chance McLain. Here's his number,
and like me, he's a crier. So I get an
email back from the death. I reached out a chance.
I connected with him. You're right, he's a crier. I
(22:26):
thought it was crazy. When I started law school, I
was the only person that did not have a CD collection.
So members of our study group would invite each other
over to see each other's CD collection, and they would
have a whole console of CDs. And this was ninety
three fall of ninety three, so at that time it
(22:49):
was a big deal. I think, I don't I don't
know that anybody had more than a three CD player.
But if you had a three CD player, you could
put three CDs on and music would play till all
three of those played out, and they would be they'd
have speakers that have the whole deal and the whole setup,
and all I had was the little you know, you know,
(23:12):
the speaker that people would carry through LA on their shoulder,
put their hand over the top of it, walk through
and they be listening to their music a boombox. That's
what I had, and I had a few CDs, like
three maybe, and I remember thinking I didn't know, because
you don't know how other people are living. I didn't
(23:32):
know that was a big thing. And then I meet
Ramon and he owns every CD in every movie ever made.
It's Crazy and the only movie, the only box set.
He goes out and you know when you see these
things that are they're going to do a box set
of planes, trains, and automobiles and going to charge two
hundred dollars to these idiot nerds in their mom's basement
(23:55):
down there, all sticky and they're going to buy. Well,
that's Ramon. He bought all of that stuff. The only
box set of a TV show I ever owned was
WKRP in Cincinnati, and I think Mark Sherman bought it
for me. I'm not positive, but I think Mark Sherman
is the programming guru at our company, and I believe
(24:19):
it was him that bought it for me some number
of years ago. And I went back and watched those
episodes and they were so good. Well you probably know
by now that Lonnie anders Some, best known for playing
the radio receptionist and I know you remember the name
of her character in WKRP in Cincinnati as Jennifer Marlowe,
(24:41):
has passed away just two days before her ninetieth I'm
sorry before her eightieth birthday. The story from ABC seven
in La.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Bunnie Anderson died just two days before her eightieth birthdays.
She was best known for her any winning role on
the sitcom WKRP.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Since you want me, mister Carlson, Jennifer, have a seat, No,
thank you. All right, this particular point in time, I
would like to dictate a press release. I don't take dictations,
all right, I guess I can do this thing myself.
She's probably gonna be a long meeting, though, So why
don't you get coffee for all the guys here? I
(25:19):
don't get coffee, mister Carlson.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
We agreed.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You have to draw the line somewhere.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
The hit show about a radio station trying to revamp
itself ran for four seasons. Anderson played the smart and
sexy receptionist Jennifer Marlowe. The role earned her two Emmy
Awards and three Golden Globe nominations.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
She also starred in.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Other TV shows like Partners in Crime, and she appeared
in Three's Company. We interviewed Anderson back in twenty thirteen
in Hollywood while she was signing autographs for fans.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Here we are, We're really here. We're just waiting to
meet people.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Her film credits include A Night at the Roxbury and
the nineteen eighty three comedy stroker Ace with Burt Reynolds.
She later married Reynolds, but it ended in divorce. In
nineteen ninety four, Anderson died at a hospital in Los
Angeles after a prolonged illness. According to her publicist, Anderson
leaves behind her husband, Bob Flick, two adult children, and
for grandkids.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
She was seventy nine years old. So I was reading
about Lonnie Anderson l NI Lonnie Anderson, and I read
that her father. They were in Roseville, Minnesota, a suburb
of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Her father, who was known as
(26:31):
Andy Anderson, wanted to name her Leylani l e I
La Ni one name Leilanie Anderson. But then he realized,
you know, when you think of naming a kid, you
start thinking of all the ways it could go wrong,
and he said, wait a second, when she's a teenager,
(26:52):
the boys will say lay Lonnie, so he shortened the
name to just She was in her first film, Nevada Smith,
with Steve McQueen. She went on to be in swat
Policewoman Harry O. Three's Company. She auditioned for the role
(27:12):
of Chrissy on the sitcom Three's Company. She didn't get
the job, but she did get a guest appearance. You know,
she's a great example of the casting director, back when
casting directors were straight, and they see a girl like
her come in and they want to find a role
(27:33):
for her. She was given the role of Jennifer Marlowe
on WKLP in Cincinnati when producers saw a poster of
her in a red swimsuit, a pose similar to the
Farah Fawcet poster in nineteen seventy six that literally every
(27:54):
boy had. She walked out on the set of w
CARE in Cincinnati in nineteen eighty during the summer hiatus,
threatening she would never come back unless they paid her
substantially more money, and they did. Rest in peace, Lonnie Anderson.
(28:17):
Every young man, every man about my age, remembers how
hot we've found Lonnie Anderson back in the day. Former
Chargers tight end Antonio Gates has become the first player
ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame who
(28:38):
never played a down of college football. He played a
season of basketball at Eastern Michigan and two seasons at
Kent State. He is also one of just a handful
of undrafted players in the modern era to make the
Hall of Fame. He spent all sixteen seasons with the
San Diego Chargers, made eight Pro Bowls and three All Pros,
(29:02):
and he talked about in his speech the experience of
changing sports when you've been a star basketball player and
you switched to football and you're starting over. Other inductees
were Eric Allen, Jared Allen, and Sterling Sharp, whose brother
is having a real tough go of it. He has
been released from ESPN, So the woman who jacked him
(29:30):
up to get a big payout that he was having
the rough sex with she got her settlement. ESPN had
put him on a release while he was negotiating that deal,
and then once the deal was negotiated and the thought
was now he can go back to work, then they
(29:50):
fired him. So he lost everything. If he'd known he
was going to be fired. I wonder if he might
have fought that an interesting question. His podcast was apparently
making pretty good money Club Shasha. It was the most
watched episode of any podcast in America, I believe, when
(30:12):
he had Kat Williams on to tell the story about
what a freak Sean Puffy Combs p didd he was,
and boy did he ever lay it out. If you
want to be a star as a black actor comedian,
you got to have sex with this group of people,
(30:33):
and you have to let the rich producers all have
their way with you, and you have to do a
scene as a woman
It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Since you brought up the declassification report that was put
out by Senator Grassley today, I'm glad you brought it
up because this should be a story every outlet in
this room should be covering. This is further evidence that
Hillary Clinton approved the Russia hoax against President Trump. Her
campaign financed it. Again, she approved it, and the FBI
and the CIA were both weaponized to, as our Director
(00:35):
of CIA has said, accelerate this hoax against then candidates
and former President Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
This week, I leave the children off YouTube, teach them
will and let them lead the way, show them all
the beauty they possess inside, give them a sin and
pride to make it easier. The children's lived after reminds
(01:11):
how we use to be never boy searching for you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
People need some one to look up.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I never found anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Britthey Bolton is our guest. She's a teacher at Cross
Elementary in Brenham, starting her eleventh year. Is that right, yes, sir,
And you said you're back today getting ready, But what
is the first day of actual school?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
First day of school? School is August the thirteenth, which
is next Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Okay, for the kid, How is it different for you
after thirteen years than when you started?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Oh, the class sizes, the disciplinary issues, the lack of
parenting for the negative side, But as far as like
the positive side, you still see individuals going through college
wanting to be the teacher, wanting to make that impact
in the student's life. So, I mean, it's not like
(02:19):
a lost career. It's still growing, but there's still work
to be done in this time and age.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Does your husband wear a cowboy hat in every photo?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yes, I'm surprised he doesn't sleep with it on.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He better be a real cowboy. As much of a
cowboy hat fella wearing fella as he.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Is, he he likes to wear them.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean he's got the belt buckle digging into his belly,
he's got the worn blue jeans, he's got the cowboy
hat and the pearl snapshirt in every picture. This guy,
I'll tell you what if he a' a real cowboy,
he sure looks like one. I noticed you where's his buttons?
Don't He goes down to the third button like like
(03:09):
a used car dealer. But I think it's because the
shirt doesn't fit, right, I think he goes all the
way down.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yep, he likes to wear it. I guess he has
his own little fashion.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Y'all could be the postcard for small town, patriotic, decent America. There,
y'all are walking along with your little girl between y'all
as she as only child?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yes, only child?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Would baby.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
To be honest with you, I don't see how people
afford it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How does that work? Hey, y'all need to stay away
from each other because everybody so, y'all stay up? Okay, yeah,
oh wow, Okay, that's uh. It's the first time I've
heard that term, but it makes sense. It's still interesting
for me enough to has passed to see what people
were doing when they were in lockdown because we never changed.
We came to the studio. I never wore a mask.
(04:06):
If you want me in your story, right, I have to.
I just I just as mattress Mac says, I just
didn't participate. This says you studied veterinary teck at Lone Star.
How come you didn't do veterinary school.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Well, let's just say it was a lot more time
consuming than I expected. Being in that I was in
the veterinary field before education for ten years. And so
from there I just wanted another career change and you
enjoyed that. I still have a good relationship with my vetor. Yes,
I sure did, and it helped me. It helped me
(04:43):
go go along with going into more education where it's
just like I appreciate that I was able to have
that experience an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
But here we are, man, y'all are so all American.
You look at Norman Rockwell painting, you want the details,
Give me some patriotic music. Here is Bridget Bolton per
her Facebook page b O. L. T. E. And Bridget Weiss's.
Bolton studied BS and Kinesiology at sam Houston State University.
(05:15):

Krous Elementary School. Lives in Belleville, Texas. From Belleville, Texas. Married,
(05:37):
got Bible verses on here. Her husband wears a kiboy
hat in every picture. I mean, this is Americana right here.
You don't get more America than I'm serious to say.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I am proud to be an American.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You've got a clip of the astros on here, You've
got reference reads your Bible. I mean, this is it,
This is this? And then you got a who's your
gal that was playing at Olivia Bolton Belleville Farm and Ranch.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh yes, she's running for fair queen?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh absolutely yes? And who is that your.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Knees Fair season is coming up?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes, So that means that every feed store I go
to in the area is going to have her picture
and how you need to support her.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
She there's one feed store in Beoville that is her sponsor.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Bebo Okay Farm and Ranch. Bolton's Dozer Service. What is
this Boltons?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That's my brother in law's. Yes, he has. He has
his own dozer business. He's been doing that for twenty
something years.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Oh this is all Yeah, what does your dad do?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
My dad actually passed away back in twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Twenty one from COVID.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
But he was a law enforcement officer. Well he did
get the JAB and it makes your mind wonder, so yes,
but yes, he was a law Enforcement officer. He was
in DPS for several years and served his county and
his states very well.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He was wise, Yes, he was wise. And your mother,
what does she do?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
She actually passed away in August of twenty twenty one
as well. She got the JAB and was never the same.
So it makes your mind wonder again. She was Austin
County Juvenile probation officer. She was chief a Juvenile probation
officer in the nineties up until twenty Maybe she was
I thinking for twenty five years. But she was also
(07:52):
the Austin County dispatcher when she was straight out of
high school fifteen years old and just basically stayed in
law force spent all of her career.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
What's your daughter's name? Oh, that's right, you're not. You're
telling them, well, good luck to Bailey in kindergarten. And
I am so so reassured to know there are good
people like you teaching your kids. Michael very show and
this is my damn country. I thought for this country,
this is mine. He was funny. The things you remember
(08:28):
from the childhood must have been somewhere around seventy five,
seventy six, seventy seven, seventy eight. I don't know. I
was pretty young, but I really looked up to my
uncle Preston. And he was a mechanic, and he was
a real, real bad alcoholic. Alcohol got the better of
(08:49):
him and controlled him most of his life. But heart
of gold and I adored was my mother's uncle Preston.
And he would move out from my grandmother's trailer when
he'd kind of get himself sobered up or go to rehab,
(09:10):
and then he'd start working. He'd rent some little garage,
like just a shade trie garage, but everybody loved the
work he did, and he'd, you know, he'd start building up,
building up and doing well again. And then one Friday,
after he got paid on a job, he might go
(09:31):
a wall for a few days, and then you wouldn't
know where your vehicle was. My mother'd get calls and
all held break loose, and we'd know, oh, uncle Preston's
off the wagon again. But I'll never forget. And I
don't know why I was telling my wife this story recently.
I asked him one day, let's say, well, I guess
(09:51):
somebody could look up for me and tell me what
year he played the rodeo. If it was only once.
Then we'll know what year this happened. And then ain't
for out how old I was, But he had woken
up and Crown Royal was his drink. And I can
remember in the morning he would wake up and it
was one of those single wide trailers, the old fashioned trailers.
And I have an aunt named Gail, who is severely
(10:15):
mentally and physically retarded. She lived in the When you
walked into the trailer, you always entered on the side
of those trailers, you know, the lengthwise obviously, not the
not down at the end. You'd enter halfway through the trailer.
And so down at the far right there was a
bathroom down there, and next to the bathroom attached was
Gail's room, and Gail could enter the bathroom from her
(10:38):
bedroom or right next to it, there was a door
in the hallway, so that could be also kind of
the public bathroom. And then but before you got to that,
as you were walking down the hallway, right there on
the left was Uncle Preston's room, which was just a
simple little room with a bed, and he used to
give me the cloth bags. If any of you have
(10:59):
ever seen the cloth bag, because they put that they
put Crown Royal in I loved those bags. I would
use one for my pennies and one for my nickels,
and one for my dimes and quarters and on anoint anyway.
I can remember in the morning when I would stay
over there, he wake up in the morning, he'd crawled
down the hallway and he'd hug the toilet and you'd
(11:19):
hear it, and it was a dry heave, and man,
it was a terrible, terrible thing to hear. And I
didn't realize what a bad mood a person is in
when they're at that hungover stage. And he comes staggering
into the living room the next morning. He's got his
jeans on and he's been dry heaving. He's got no
shirt on. And I said, good morning, Uncle President, And
(11:42):
I said the radio was on and there was Glenn
Campbell's on. I said, Glenn Campbell's coming to the Astronome.
He's gonna be at Houston, which was might as well
have been New York's for as I was concerned being
an Orange. And he said, I wouldn't watch Glenn Campbell.
VI's across the street. And what bothers me is I'm
fifty four years old. That's approximately fifty years ago, and
(12:06):
I can't understand why he was so mad at Glenn Campbell.
How can you be that mad at Glenn Campbell? What
did Glenn Campbell do? And to this day, I can't
imagine what Glenn Campbell did that made him so dang mad.
It blows my mind. How you get that angry at
(12:30):
Glenn Campbell? But he did, But he did. They showed
a picture of the Democrats who fled to Illinois, and
the governor of Illinois. Boy, he's looking like a real
star on all this and all the Democrats are crowded
in there, real tight beside him. If you ever watch
one of the funniest thing is to watch political figures
(12:51):
when there's a press conference and they all gym in,
they're real tight so they can be seen on screen.
Sheila Jackson Lee was the master of that. And she'd
get right up in and she'd get right up under
somebody's arm. In fact, when there was a storm or
some sort of tragedy, you can see the person who's
in charge looking down at her because she wasn't very tall,
(13:12):
but they look down and there she is down there,
and then up on top like a pile of do doo.
I'm sorry, but that's the description. It'd be the triple
crown weave. Sometimes she'd add a fourth one on there,
dependent on, you know, the pageantry of the occasion would
would necessitate how many levels of weave. Sometimes you might
have a single weave or a double. But for something
(13:32):
kind of big that's going to be nationally broadcast, you
go triple crown. And occasionally for a coronation, immaculation or baptism,
she might throw a fourth or fifth on there, and
it would get pure blown behive Sheila jacks Lee, But
that thing would she'd be up in there beside them,
and she be trying to horn in. And what would
happen is they'd go to take a breath right in
(13:53):
the middle of a sentence, and she'd grab that mic
and get on it because she wasn't going to miss
that chance. She wasn't gonna miss it, not even a
little bit. Well, there's all the politicians in Illinois and
all the state reps and things from Texas and there,
you know, they fled Texas. Oh my goodness, we're gonna
go and arrest them. Oh, we're gonna talk big and
say we're gonna arrest them. But we're not a damn thing.
(14:14):
We all know it. And so there they are, and
there's Pritsker. But the problem is they're gonna have to
pull back on the shot because Pritzker is so fat.
This guy is Chris Christi fat, so he's occupying the
entire screen and all of the others are trying to
get into frame but they can't. So it's kind of
(14:35):
like have you ever seen them big fat women that
steal stuff from the grocery store and then they make
them when they get out, they make them pull the
stuff out, And so they'll pull up one of them
flanks underneath their right boob and there'll be a big
old cube steak underneath there, just they've they've stuffed it
up under there. Probably cools them down because it probably
gets real hot and sweaty and itchy and all that
(14:58):
and stuff rashes and stuff underneath those flaps of fat.
Well there's those Democrats and they are I mean, they
are tucked up under they are trying to get in
the frame. They're trying to be singing, because what's the
point of running to Illinois and having a press conference
if we're not going to get to be on the scene,
and there's Pritzker and he's sweating, and you know, he's smelling,
(15:18):
and they're up under his armpits, and you know, it
smells like ass up under there. Michael. It's a damn shame.
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a
damn shame. He busted in the big Man Moon right
there on the spot. I mean, you've already stuck here
(15:39):
and the Kadian Freeway is shut down, and there there
you go. So Commissioner Tom Ramsey sent me a message,
since we're talking about it being a two urned thirty
fifth Anniverse or two fifth, sorry, two hundred and thirty
fifth birthday of the Coastguard, he said, I'm sure you
(16:04):
remember this Coastguard hero. One of the little girls he
saved as an engineer is the daughter of an engineer
who works for me, and the story went A US
Coastguard rescue swimmer Petty Officer Scott Ruskin is being hailed
as a hero for saving one hundred and sixty five
people during a rescue operation in the Texas floods. He
(16:26):
was the primary triosh coordinator during the rescue at Camp
Mystic and Tom Ramsey said he literally pulled little Gracie
from the river in the worst of the storm. My goodness,
how many people ever saved one life in the course
(16:50):
of our own journey on this earth, And this fellow,
one hundred sixty five he met his moment, My goodness, alive.
Take a seat, brother, take a breath, take a victory lap.
We're trying to get him on the show. Jim mudg
just sent me a message. Scott Ruskin is on duty
(17:10):
and cannot join the show this morning. I'm trying to
nail him down for later in the week. People drive
me so crazy. What do you mean he can't join
the show this morning. Let's work through that for a moment.
I know I'm going to hear from somebody else. You
don't understand. People can't just when they're on work. They
can't just get on the phone and get on the
radio with you because you're a Zoro talk. It doesn't
(17:31):
work that way. Yeah, actually it does. Actually it does.
Because here's how this works. So if there was an
emergency at his house, god forbid, his house was burning down,
they called him. He wouldn't say, can't talk, I'm on duty.
They say, your house is burning down. He goh, well,
I can talk right, you can talk physically. You can
talk now while are you talking in this case about
(17:56):
being a badass swimmer for the Coastguard and saving all
these lives. It's in the Coastguard's interest that you do
the interview because now other people will go, well, I
want to be a badass like that too, want to?
I want to? I want to. I want to join
(18:19):
the Coastguard. It'll be the best recruiting they ever did.
I'm not mad at him, people getting nervous. I just
wish when people called they would all just jump up
down because we were excited that they wanted to be
on the show. That's all ramon. It's not that big
a deal. So Glenn Campbell performed at the Houston lou
(18:42):
Start Showing Rodeo in nineteen seventy one, nineteen seventy two,
in nineteen seventy six. Well, I remember this conversation with
Uncle Preston. So it wasn't seventy one or seventy two,
because I would have I was born November tenth of
seventy so if he performed in the spring of seventy one,
(19:05):
I was a few months old. In the spring of
seventy two, I was a year and a few months old.
In the spring of seventy six, I was five and
a half years old. And that's about where this is
locked in in my memory. He performed two shows in
a row, Thursday, March fourth and Friday, March fifth, So
(19:32):
that is your story. There is still one camp mystic
Camper unaccounted for. Her name is spelled c I L E.
I'm going to say Seal. If somebody knows that I'm mispronouncing,
I'd like to get it right, as in Cecil. It
(19:53):
could be Kylie. I don't know it's c I L E.
I'd like to get her name right. Stewart is her
last name. And this is the update from her family. Now,
mind you, today is one month since that July fourth flood.
It feels like it was ten years ago, doesn't it.
It's been an excruciating month of grief, loss and waiting
(20:13):
for news of our precious Seal. We are shattered by
this tragedy, but we're also filled with tremendous gratitude for
the outpouring of support as we navigate the unimaginable to
the brave search and rescue sorry to the brave search
and recovery crews who've been working tirelessly to find her
and bring her home. There aren't words sufficient to express
(20:37):
our thanks. Your dedication means everything to our family, and
your continued efforts give us hope that we may soon
be able to bring our baby home and begin to heal.
Please don't give up on our girl. To our family's
friends and community, your love, support and prayers have been
a lifeline. We are forever grateful for every word of
(20:59):
kindness and sure of support. We could not walk through
these difficult times without you. I hope I'm pronouncing our
name right if I'm not, letting me know, and I'll
fix it to our seal bug. Our love for you
is endless and boundless. We feel you everywhere and are
(21:22):
thankful for every single moment of your brief and beautiful life.
We will miss you every day until we meet again,
sweet girl. With love, Ceci and Will Stewart. My goodness,
I got a message from one of the little girl's
(21:43):
fathers who perished at Camp Hope, and he said, can
I get the number for your friend that does the
videos we lost our daughter. I'm not going to say
the name because I'm not auf the rest too. We
lost our daughter and we want her sister. Because the
little girl was I think six, We want her six
(22:05):
and a half. We want her sister to remember who
she was. And I said, it's Chance McLain. Here's his number,
and like me, he's a crier. So I get an
email back from the death. I reached out a chance.
I connected with him. You're right, he's a crier. I
(22:26):
thought it was crazy. When I started law school, I
was the only person that did not have a CD collection.
So members of our study group would invite each other
over to see each other's CD collection, and they would
have a whole console of CDs. And this was ninety
three fall of ninety three, so at that time it
(22:49):
was a big deal. I think, I don't I don't
know that anybody had more than a three CD player.
But if you had a three CD player, you could
put three CDs on and music would play till all
three of those played out, and they would be they'd
have speakers that have the whole deal and the whole setup,
and all I had was the little you know, you know,
(23:12):
the speaker that people would carry through LA on their shoulder,
put their hand over the top of it, walk through
and they be listening to their music a boombox. That's
what I had, and I had a few CDs, like
three maybe, and I remember thinking I didn't know, because
you don't know how other people are living. I didn't
(23:32):
know that was a big thing. And then I meet
Ramon and he owns every CD in every movie ever made.
It's Crazy and the only movie, the only box set.
He goes out and you know when you see these
things that are they're going to do a box set
of planes, trains, and automobiles and going to charge two
hundred dollars to these idiot nerds in their mom's basement
(23:55):
down there, all sticky and they're going to buy. Well,
that's Ramon. He bought all of that stuff. The only
box set of a TV show I ever owned was
WKRP in Cincinnati, and I think Mark Sherman bought it
for me. I'm not positive, but I think Mark Sherman
is the programming guru at our company, and I believe
(24:19):
it was him that bought it for me some number
of years ago. And I went back and watched those
episodes and they were so good. Well you probably know
by now that Lonnie anders Some, best known for playing
the radio receptionist and I know you remember the name
of her character in WKRP in Cincinnati as Jennifer Marlowe,
(24:41):
has passed away just two days before her ninetieth I'm
sorry before her eightieth birthday. The story from ABC seven
in La.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Bunnie Anderson died just two days before her eightieth birthdays.
She was best known for her any winning role on
the sitcom WKRP.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Since you want me, mister Carlson, Jennifer, have a seat, No,
thank you. All right, this particular point in time, I
would like to dictate a press release. I don't take dictations,
all right, I guess I can do this thing myself.
She's probably gonna be a long meeting, though, So why
don't you get coffee for all the guys here? I
(25:19):
don't get coffee, mister Carlson.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
We agreed.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You have to draw the line somewhere.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
The hit show about a radio station trying to revamp
itself ran for four seasons. Anderson played the smart and
sexy receptionist Jennifer Marlowe. The role earned her two Emmy
Awards and three Golden Globe nominations.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
She also starred in.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Other TV shows like Partners in Crime, and she appeared
in Three's Company. We interviewed Anderson back in twenty thirteen
in Hollywood while she was signing autographs for fans.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Here we are, We're really here. We're just waiting to
meet people.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Her film credits include A Night at the Roxbury and
the nineteen eighty three comedy stroker Ace with Burt Reynolds.
She later married Reynolds, but it ended in divorce. In
nineteen ninety four, Anderson died at a hospital in Los
Angeles after a prolonged illness. According to her publicist, Anderson
leaves behind her husband, Bob Flick, two adult children, and
for grandkids.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
She was seventy nine years old. So I was reading
about Lonnie Anderson l NI Lonnie Anderson, and I read
that her father. They were in Roseville, Minnesota, a suburb
of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Her father, who was known as
(26:31):
Andy Anderson, wanted to name her Leylani l e I
La Ni one name Leilanie Anderson. But then he realized,
you know, when you think of naming a kid, you
start thinking of all the ways it could go wrong,
and he said, wait a second, when she's a teenager,
(26:52):
the boys will say lay Lonnie, so he shortened the
name to just She was in her first film, Nevada Smith,
with Steve McQueen. She went on to be in swat
Policewoman Harry O. Three's Company. She auditioned for the role
(27:12):
of Chrissy on the sitcom Three's Company. She didn't get
the job, but she did get a guest appearance. You know,
she's a great example of the casting director, back when
casting directors were straight, and they see a girl like
her come in and they want to find a role
(27:33):
for her. She was given the role of Jennifer Marlowe
on WKLP in Cincinnati when producers saw a poster of
her in a red swimsuit, a pose similar to the
Farah Fawcet poster in nineteen seventy six that literally every
(27:54):
boy had. She walked out on the set of w
CARE in Cincinnati in nineteen eighty during the summer hiatus,
threatening she would never come back unless they paid her
substantially more money, and they did. Rest in peace, Lonnie Anderson.
(28:17):
Every young man, every man about my age, remembers how
hot we've found Lonnie Anderson back in the day. Former
Chargers tight end Antonio Gates has become the first player
ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame who
(28:38):
never played a down of college football. He played a
season of basketball at Eastern Michigan and two seasons at
Kent State. He is also one of just a handful
of undrafted players in the modern era to make the
Hall of Fame. He spent all sixteen seasons with the
San Diego Chargers, made eight Pro Bowls and three All Pros,
(29:02):
and he talked about in his speech the experience of
changing sports when you've been a star basketball player and
you switched to football and you're starting over. Other inductees
were Eric Allen, Jared Allen, and Sterling Sharp, whose brother
is having a real tough go of it. He has
been released from ESPN, So the woman who jacked him
(29:30):
up to get a big payout that he was having
the rough sex with she got her settlement. ESPN had
put him on a release while he was negotiating that deal,
and then once the deal was negotiated and the thought
was now he can go back to work, then they
(29:50):
fired him. So he lost everything. If he'd known he
was going to be fired. I wonder if he might
have fought that an interesting question. His podcast was apparently
making pretty good money Club Shasha. It was the most
watched episode of any podcast in America, I believe, when
(30:12):
he had Kat Williams on to tell the story about
what a freak Sean Puffy Combs p didd he was,
and boy did he ever lay it out. If you
want to be a star as a black actor comedian,
you got to have sex with this group of people,
(30:33):
and you have to let the rich producers all have
their way with you, and you have to do a
scene as a woman
