Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason Kennalls and runs hog baying dot Com, which is
described as the World Championship of hog Baying. There may
be some other people to take issue with him, but
I like the hype, I like the the style. Jake
Lloyd Keno works at the Chemical Plants as a salesman
(00:20):
outside salesman on Chemical Road in Orange, where my dad
and everybody I knew their dad worked my entire childhood.
But the big competition comes up in the next week.
He's based out of Orange, but the competition is in Winfield, Louisiana.
You're trying to bring this back to East Texas Southeast Texas?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Not necessarily trying to bring it back. I still own
the property, but like, uh, we're a good spot where
we're at right now. Like I'm in you know, I'm
in no hurry.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
How much land do you need competition like this?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Essentially? Really all you need is like a rodeo area. Uh,
Now parking becomes an issue like it in Winfield. The
fairgrounds is probably somewhere between fifty and eighty acres and
we will fill it up. There will be people parked
down north, south, east, and west, both lanes or both
shoulders of the highway. Vehicles down both sides of the road.
(01:19):
And it's a town of around four thousand people, and
we will quadruple the population of the.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
City that week. Why is the breed this fellow said,
His dog is a Louisiana Catahula leopard dog, and they
also use the black mouth curve dog. Why are those
two breeds in particular well suited for this?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They are more like spurting type dogs, really athletic. They're
fast too. They're built for like shorter range type honting.
They're really fast, really, and they're really durable. Like some
of the hounds and stuff are bred for longer race like,
uh say, like cats or deer or something that would
(02:04):
leave a colder track. These, uh, these cur dogs are
on a hot track and are really efficient in short
distances and short durations, a lot more efficient than a
hound would be in a short duration.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And why isn't.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Just genetics? Man? I don't know, you know, I'm not
a I'm a nerd about a lot of things. Uh,
But like I try not to do uh, I try
to overthink too much and uh some you know, I
see what works and I just stick with it. But
I have crossed. I crossed hound dog into my dogs
because a lot of times there's a lot of places
where you hunt hogs. It is hard, it is a
long race. Uh, it is dry ground, things like that,
(02:43):
stuff that a curd dog might not be able to
smell or might not have the stamina to stay with.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
What about the hall typically for curd dog? Good?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, typically if a curd dog laid his eyes on
it like it's they're gonna get it, you know. A
hound he's kind of more of a uh uh you know,
not as aggressive. But uh, what's the word I'm looking
for here? Uh, finesse. My hand dog is more of
a finesse type of style.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And what about it is I don't know if you've
nerded this deep into it? What about the hog is
is the scent that he's smelling? Is it? Is it
some sort of odor? I mean, is it? Is it his?
Is it like a what? What? What is it? Do
you know?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I mean like a dog can just you know, you know,
they can smell a few hours old where any type
of game has has traveled. And I don't know that
they release anything. I think it's just like you know,
basically their scent has left on a trail or whatever,
and the dog can pick that up and he stays
with it till he follows it, I mean till he
finishes it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But what that scent is? I mean, is it is
that scent in the hair? Is it in the skin?
Is it an oil? Is it? Is it defecation? Is
it urine? Is it? You know? What? What exactly is
that that they're picking up? You know, because I bet
there's something that that is, you know, being that that's
being left there that causes that scent. How far away
(04:12):
would you say is the max a dog can smell
a hog?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh? These these dogs that we're running, I feel like
could smell a three or four hour track fairly easily.
I know, they are more advanced. You know, there are
stronger nose type of dogs you would get more into
the hound side that could probably smell like these cadaver
dogs and stuff. They could probably smell something twelve hours
old or older. But they're not really suited. Uh, they
(04:42):
don't have the physical attributes to be able to subdue
a wild hog. So you've kind of got to cross
you know. That's why, like all my dogs are cross bread.
I get the strengths of both breeds put them together,
and that that's how I try to concoct the perfect
hog dog.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
How many homes ac.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Howe around twelve and they vary too, Like you need
like you were saying, you need to close her. You
need to, you know, for the put Mike Tyson in.
To finish the deal out in the woods. You have
to have catch dogs, typically.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Their pit bull Yeah that there are cur dogs that
will catch too, Yeah, I think, but I have a
couple of pit bulls and uh well, actually I think
I have three, and then the rest are either puppies
or or finished.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Trying to tell you, Jake, it is left an obvious
impression on me. The focus this dog had for the
job he was going to do that. That's one of
the things I love about dogs is they live to serve.
You know that they take great pleasure. Their whole focus
is to do their job. And this fella, I mean,
(05:49):
once they started barking and he knew it was about
to be time, it really did remind me of Tyson
coming into the arena. You know that played the one
note doom down, and you know you're just mentally getting ready.
This dog was getting ready for what he was about
to do, and it was just glorious to watch. It's
(06:10):
you know, I grew up with Cocker spaniels. Now we
have a German shepherd, but growing up it was always,
you know, kind of pets. But to see a working
dog work like that. I am not going to make
it to your competition this year, but I'm gonna make
it at some point. I think this would be a
whole lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
We would love to have you.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The website is hog baying dot com, the official website
of the World Championship of hog Baying, and I would
tell you it's not an easy thing to go see.
So that's why the competition would be a neat thing
to do, because this is kind of an underground culture
and folks, you know, I don't know how much time
we got left in this segment, but I know I
(06:53):
was told some actress slash comedian came after you. Who
was that that insulted you or claimed your some bad
guy for doing this? Man, would you rather not, because
I would just assume rake her over the cold for
that kind of nonsense. Now, now, when you need to
(07:20):
escape from me every day escape of.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
The Michael Verry Show an old trailer and o'high ball
and them famous dogs and mister Baron's got in there
with them, and old John U Banks and Hollo he
speak too, and my brother son and Hahu look food.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And oh it was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Now y'all get this picture about that time May tree.
We rushed down into the swamps and that the dogs
were treed up the biggest sweet gum tree and all
of ame at river swamps.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
It was huge.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You couldn't reach.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You around this tree. There wasn't a limb on it
for a while, way up there, huge tree. And I
looked around at John and I said, John, I don't
believe you can climb that tree. And it hurt John's feelings.
He poosed his lips out, got fighting mad. He said,
there ain't a tree in all these swamps that I
(08:17):
can't climb. And he got his broken shoes off and
he eased up to that sweet gum tree and he
hung his toenails in that bark and he got his
fingernails in there, and he kept easing up the tree,
working his way toward that bottom limb, and he finally
got to it and he started on up into this
big tree knock him out, John, It won't be long.
(08:38):
And John worked his way on up to the top
of the tree and who what up?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Dickon?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
And he reached around in his overhaus and got that
sharp stick and he drawed back and he punched the coon.
But it wasn't a coon.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It was a lynx.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
We call him souped up wild cats.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And the camp.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
And that thing had red thig tushes coming out of
its mouth and red big claws on the end of
its feet, and people that thing attacked John.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Up in the top of that tree. WHOA, you can
hear John squawd? What's the matter with John?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't have no idea.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
What in the world's happening to John?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Knock him out? John?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
WHOA?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
This thing's killing me.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
The whole top of the tree was shaken. The dogs
got to bite in the bark of the tree and
fighting one another underneath the tree, and I was kicking them,
like you dogs, get away. What's the matter with John?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Knock him out?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
John?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What this thing's killing me?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
And John knew that mister Barron told the pistol in
his belt to shoot snakes with, and he kept hollering,
who shoot this thing?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Have mercy?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
This thing killing me. Shoot this thing, And mister Baron said, John,
ain't shoot up in there, I might hit you. John said, well,
just shoot up in here.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Amongst us, one of us got to have some relief.
So here is the answer. Apparently, adult adult bores the
male hog release strong odors from their saliva, including molecules
(10:32):
like in drostenone and and drostenol, which dogs are able
to detect. So the greatest odor apparently comes from their saliva.
From the hog's saliva, which is a sexual pheromone boor
saliva contains unique molecules like quinoline which are not found
(10:56):
in south saliva the females, further aiding in the bores
unique scent profile. So I noticed several posts of people
asking how the dogs can hunt the hogs when hogs
have such an amazing sense of smell, and one report
(11:19):
was they possess a highly developed sense of smell capable
of detecting odors in excess of five miles. But dogs
have a significantly higher number of olfactory receptors compared to
humans and pigs, which grants them the ability to track
and detect sense with high accuracy, even from long distances.
(11:42):
So there is your answer not to be outdone our
friend Kenny Allen out in Waller, writes Zara. This Saturday
in Anderson, Texas is the biggest all around hog hunting
contest in the state of Texas. It is not limited
to hunting with dogs, but it's a great event that
benefits the Anderson Volunteer Fire Department and Grimes County Youth scholarships.
(12:06):
They call it Saint port Tricks Day since it's happening
around Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Pork Tricks Day, as Saint
Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, so shall we
drive the hogs out of Texas? And you can find
that online. I suspect the main event is this Saturday.
The competition is this Friday and Saturday. Four man teams
(12:31):
heaviest hog statewide hunt, cash prizes, gun giveaway every hour,
live music featuring Mike Donald, demos, giveaways, food, gun manufacturers
benefiting Anderson Volunteer Fire Department and local youth scholarships. Jackpot competitions,
(12:53):
average cutter, longest stringer, heaviest three hogs combined, and kids
twelve and under. Heavy is raccoon. So I guess the
kids hunt raccoons that's the Saint Pork Tricks twenty twenty
five hog hunt in Anderson, Texas. And it apparently happens
(13:14):
at the gun shop there, which I forget their darn name.
I saw it somewhere, Oh here we go at the
Circle Star of Firearms sixty three to twenty Highway ninety
North in Anderson, Texas. I think our friend Doug Agan
is I mean, Dan Agan is based out of Anderson, Texas.
He is a he owns a lot of a lot
(13:37):
of land there. He's a big timber guy, sells his timber.
I want to tell you about Wayne dol Tafino's look
at the DEEI Office of Harris County, but I don't
think I have time in this segment to get to it,
so I will get to it in the next one.
But he notes that the Director of the Offices in Procurements,
(14:01):
Maya Thornton, claimed workers conducted one thousand and thirty site
visits to construction firms awarded contracts under the Minority Women
Business Enterprise MWBE program, but when Dolchafino tried to get
those records, Executive director Estella Gonzalez admitted that workers haven't
(14:22):
been monitoring MWBE contracts at all, Well, if your job
is to monitor the contracts to make sure they got
enough blacks and Hispanics and I don't know trainees, I
don't know what else they got they're supposed to have there.
(14:42):
If that's your job to monitor that, and you claim
that that's what you've been doing, and now your executive
director admits no, you haven't, then what do you do.
It's a welfare program. It's a well paid welfare program.
(15:07):
You could abolish the entire damn thing and start over.
This is all Rodney Ellis, every bit of it. This
is when I was on city council, Rodney Ellis was
pushing for more MWBE. And what happens is companies, in
(15:28):
order to get city contracts, would move the company into
their wife's name so they could get And if you
weren't willing to do that, then you couldn't qualify for
these matters. I mean, that's just wrong. My buddy, Michael.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Berry, when Chance McClain does his heritage films, he will
know that there's certain things that I'm going to want
to see and you'll ask them, Hey, do you mind
if I share this with Michael it's a two prong
You mind if I share this with Michael and if
they say yes, you may share it with Michael.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Do you mind if he uses it on the air, because.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
He may.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And they always say yes. I can't use everything, or
I forget about things because some of them are good.
But I just I have an embarrassment of riches of
things to talk about and audio to use. But most
of his folks are our show listeners who hire him
to do a heritage film on their family or a
(16:22):
big one now is on a company or on a town.
They want to tell the story for investors or for
visitors and chamber of commerce type thing. Anyway, So he said,
you're gonna love this. This is Hensley Weaver. He's a
rancher country as country gets. He is awesome. He's a
world class bobcat hunter. He clears nuisance cats at King
(16:46):
Ranch to this day. In his eighties, he took Storm
and Norman on a cat hunt. He took young Bubba
Watson and Tom Watson. He's just an awesome dude. I
probably have few fifty of these stories. This is about
how he got hooked on bobcat hunting. If you want
to use it you can. His son in law, my client,
(17:06):
Teddy Callis, is a pea one that's a hardcore listener,
and he said you can use it. So here he
is talking about how he got hooked on bobcat hunting.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Let me tell you the first one. When I was
a little boy, went over to my uncle's house and
they were gonna go cat hunting, and they let me
and the little brother and my cousin go.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
When we were.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Sitting up on top of the dog trade and No.
Fifty I number forty eight forward pick up way back there.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
We were about six.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Years old and went down on the creek there behind
my uncle's house, and we didn't know what the hell
was going on. Always know we the dogs were market.
So my uncle Coubs said they got him treed. So
we went up there, and we'd been me and my
little brother and my cousin had been fighting over little
gonna climb the tree and jump the cat out. So
(17:54):
when we got up there, shine the light on the cat,
and that cat wasn't much hind that ceiling. I don't
know why he didn't go no how, but he was
right there. My daddy said, all any boy's been fussing
on making all this ragged. Can't hear the dogs all day,
and which one of y'all gonna climb that tree.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Y'all been fussing about who's gonna climb the tree?
Speaker 6 (18:13):
And my contain said, I can't climb that tree. My
little brother said I can't either. They said, Anthley, get
your ass up that tree. I said, I can't climb
that tree either.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's scared, like we were scared at death.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You and my uncle took a little stick to hit
the get asked the thick hot to come.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It wasn't nothing to it. I hadn't runned me right there,
right there. My grandmother would describe that storytelling as that
in the middle he got tickled. He got yeah, you know,
he get real tickled right in the middle of telling
that story. Joy high Smith writes, good mornings are funny
(18:54):
story that might make you chuckle. When I was a
little kid, we lived on the Chicken Ranch Road here
in Lagrange. My daddy was a big man and very strong.
It was during the oil field days when roughnecks were rough.
The sheriff's office called my daddy to come to town
and help because there was a Houston wrestler in a
(19:15):
fight with some roughnecks at a beer joint in town.
Daddy got in the truck and went there. He wrestled
that guy down and bit his ear off and put
him in the bed of the truck and then took
him to the Calaboose that's the prison. It's really a jail,
but I like to work Calaboose, so I'm gonna go
along with it. The sheriff kept that ear in a
(19:37):
jar of formaldehyde in his office for years. When our
city cousins would come visit, we'd go to the courthouse
and look at it. The old jail in Calaboose is
still there. It's a war museum now. My daddy became
constable after that we had to move to town. Also,
I just heard Tom T. Hall, Who's going to Feed
(19:58):
Them Hogs? Song? That's the most requested song by the
school kids waiting in line to get out, our grandkids
requested on Saturday mornings. KVLG. That's all I got. Enjoy
your day. That pretty good story right there. That's good
quality storytelling. Jim, all right, I want to play you
(20:19):
the Wayne del Chaffino story and point out how wasteful
Harris County government is with your tax dollars. This is
Wayne del Chafino. Go ahead, it's clip number twelve. GYM.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
We told you to.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Some Harris County departments are being run almost totally remote.
The Office of Management and Budget had no one working
full time in the office. In February, the Department of
Economic Equity and Opportunity, our version of DEI, only two
of its sixty seven employees came to the office full time.
(20:56):
And now there's evidence they really aren't doing what we
thought what they were doing with their eight and a
half million dollar budget. In February, Maya Thornton, the director
of what they call inclusive Procurements, gave commissioners an update.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Additionally, we awarded six hundred and forty million in contracts
to MWB firms, which accounts for our twenty eight point
five percent in total awards, and this just kind of
brings us closer to our thirty percent aspirationial goal that
the county has identified and outlined.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Thornton is making one hundred and ninety thousand dollars a
year in that job. We look at the Equity department website,
it says they're supposed to do site visits on Harris
County vendors to make sure they are complying with the
county's MWBE program. For several weeks, we've been asking for
documentation of those site visits and have gotten nothing. We
(21:49):
thought it would be easy to produce. The department claims
to have conducted one thousand and thirty site visits by
their Worker and Community Protection team. They supposedly check on
workers safety at construction projects, but not MWBE. We finally
heard from the head of the department. Executive director Estella Gonzalez,
confirmed to us by email that her people haven't been
(22:11):
monitoring MWBE contracts at all, not one, claiming staffing shortages
have kept them from doing site visits, but they're going
to start in July, she says, blaming manpower and the
never ending need for you guessed it more money.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
I will say that Maya and I are both committed to,
you know, growing the team there and asking for resources
so that we can research more.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Gonzalez makes two hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars a
year and gets to work from home when she wants to.
The budget for her department has swollen to eight million
dollars and it's time to get the DEI Department to
give us some straight answers. In a message to Precinct
three Commissioner Tom Ramsay, that same woman, Maya Thornton, claimed
(22:58):
they did monitor the mda UBE program with site visits.
The only contractors, she said, are in the MWBE program.
Fourteen days after our first request for site visit records,
the department posted a picture on their Facebook page saying
for the first time they now had a fleet vehicle
(23:18):
for site visits. It was almost like they finally realized
that someone was actually checking up to make sure they
were doing their jobs. Look at this document of all
the remote and hybrid workers at the DEO forty hours
forty hours forty hours full time salary positions, but no
(23:39):
one knows for sure where they were on their remote days.
And this is nice. The Houston Business Journal just awarded
the Harris County DEI Program the twenty twenty five Outstanding
Diverse Organization of the Year. Congratulations are in order.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
What Daddy show On this day? In nineteen sixty six,
the theme to the Batman TV show, which you just heard,
reached its chart peak of seventeen on the charts. Can
you imagine that you turn on the radio and the
(24:25):
song they're playing would be the Batman theme song. Then
were you big into Batman? I think Ramon fantasized about
being Robin. I don't know that, but since he's not here,
I'm gonna say that because people half assed listen anyway,
In three years from now, somebody will come up to him.
I can't believe you fantasized about being Robin, and Ramon
(24:48):
will say, what are you talking about, and he'll say
I heard it. I heard it on the radio. They'll
believe it, and you know there's some glory in that.
Teach him, Teach him to be suspended for a week.
Michelle writes Zar, I cannot thank you enough for having
the allergists on your show. The other day. I listened
to him talk about the navage. My grandson, who's going
(25:10):
to turn eleven on the fourth of next month, has
had severe allergies since Hurricane Harvey ruined his mom and
dad's house and the mold took over while they rebuilt.
Caden has no sense of smell, and we don't even
know if he ever smelled anything since birth. I ordered
the nevage as soon as I got to work and
it came in on Saturday. Sunday. My daughter read up
(25:32):
on it and they started their venture. And my grandson
Kayden said after the first use he loved it. Three
days in he can breathe out of his left nostril
for the first time. I can only imagine what the
two weeks will be for him. Instructions say to do
this for two weeks. I thank you from the bottom
of my heart for that morning. I love your show,
(25:53):
Michelle English Gmau. It's probably Grandma, Jim. I know how
to read things like that. That probably Grandma. Well, you know,
we first had Mary Tally Boden on the show five
years ago because somebody sent me a viral video of
(26:13):
her as doctor Snotsucker, and so I had her on
the air to talk about the importance of clearing your
nasal passages, which in addition to giving you comfort, can
make a huge difference in your overall health. And so
of course she became very famous over COVID and you
(26:37):
know the Texas Medical Board coming after her, and then
her exposing the fact that the medical director of the
Texas Medical Board is also the medical director of Planned Parenthood,
who knew he had two jobs. I mean, what kind
of scam was going on there? But anyway, she's become
quite famous. She has a huge online social media following.
She's become a social personality over the issue of patients
(27:02):
rights in the doctor patient relationship. So anyway, doctor Colosso,
who had been treating my wife for alergies for five years,
she begged me to go to him, and so I did,
and we're working through all of the things that I
want to get rid of. But like most men, and
I know every guy I knowah's like this, we knew
(27:24):
there was something wrong. We just didn't ever get off
our butts to go do something about it, whereas my
wife will and so then she can breathe better and
not have all these problems that I still have had. Anyway,
so we had him on was that this past Friday.
I guess it was his past Friday, and I knew
(27:46):
it being policies and especially that people were going to respond.
But I have been surprised how many people have emailed
me and said, what was the name of the allergy clinic? Again,
I suffered with this, and hearing you talk about it,
I just I don't want to have to deal with
this any longer. So, but I asked him, for those
(28:08):
of you who missed the interview, you can go back
and hear it on the podcast from this past Friday morning.
I asked him, what is the poor man's answer to
allergy problems? And he said the same thing that Mary
taly Boden said five years ago, and this seems to
be rather consistent. Nasal rents, you can go get a
netty pot and they have these little salt packages you
(28:32):
put in there, and it's basically just salted water. And
you use distilled water because there could be organisms and
things in our tapwater, not if you do what I didn't,
go to Abaca's Plumbing and get a water filter. But
either way, you use distilled water. You put it in
there and you basically run it through your nose. And
it's pretty simple concept. It's like a pe trap. It
(28:54):
goes in one side and you pull it up and
it goes you turn on your side and gravity pulls
it through and it runs through your nose and comes
out the other side. Well, the salt in the water
has the effect you would expect. The salt pulls everything
out of your nose that's sitting there and as it
turns out, those pollens that are so rampant outside right
(29:17):
now are pulled out of your nose because the problems
they're causing, they're actually just collected, and you know they're
just sitting in your nostrils and causing you all these problems.
So his answer was the poor man's answer before doing
anything else or even seeing a doctor, is doing nasal rents.
And he said that when he goes for a jog
(29:38):
at Rice village and the tree, the live oak pollen
is really bad. That's and that's one of his big allergies.
And mine that when he comes home and he can
feel it, after that, he immediately goes to the bathroom
and a and does a nasal rents. You ever doing
a nasal rence, Jim? You do how often? Often? Once
(30:02):
a month on any sense of regularity, or you just
bored and you go out doing nasal rerens when you
start feeling the pollen. Okay, well it's that season now,
I uh, it's gonna be interesting. He has set my expectations. Look,
we're starting on the allergy shots. We're gonna get you.
You know, we're on the expedite. You can do the
slower where it's a smaller amount of the antigen they
(30:25):
put into your body, and you do it for a
longer period of time, and I think that takes a year,
or you can do the faster with it, and I
think that takes seven months, because what you're doing is
you're putting the evil into your body, and your body
is building up a response to it the way you
do with a vaccine or anything of the sort. And
I think mine is seven months. So he said, look,
(30:47):
I'm not gonna promise you you're gonna you're gonna have
an antibody to the think to the things that cause
you all these problems for this season, but my goal
is to have you in good shape for next season.
Hell I've had allergy so long and it has bothered
me for so much of my life. I think at
this point I don't know that it would necessarily matter.
(31:11):
I was reading that the Batman theme song let Me
See if I Can, it's a guy named Neil Hefti
who did it, and he said he based it on
let Me See if I which I hadn't really noticed.
But it's true that he said that he based it
on spy film song of Scores and surf music, and
(31:35):
he blended the two into a twelve bar blues progression
using only three chords until the coda. The music was
performed by the Wrecking Crew, which is the group that
Glenn Campbell was part of Out of La, with Tommy
Tedesco on the guitar, Carol Kay on bass ball. That
one was a bad She's amazing title song. Batman theme
(31:59):
is what it charted at seventeen Andy Adam West nineteen
ninety four book Back to the Batcave, in which he
incorrectly recalled that the theme featured horns rather than vocals.
That's pretty funny. Adam West had a pretty good run there.
You know what I learned last night, Jim? I was
reading up on the Brady Bunch. You know how it
(32:22):
was created? Did you know how Robert Reid died aids? Yeah?
How'd you know that? He was homo? I had no
idea And apparently he fought with the producer's constantly because
he didn't like the writing. He always wanted to change it,
and apparently he would storm off the set. I was
reading all about this. Apparently he was quite dramatic on set.
Jason Kennalls and runs hog baying dot Com, which is
described as the World Championship of hog Baying. There may
be some other people to take issue with him, but
I like the hype, I like the the style. Jake
Lloyd Keno works at the Chemical Plants as a salesman
(00:20):
outside salesman on Chemical Road in Orange, where my dad
and everybody I knew their dad worked my entire childhood.
But the big competition comes up in the next week.
He's based out of Orange, but the competition is in Winfield, Louisiana.
You're trying to bring this back to East Texas Southeast Texas?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Not necessarily trying to bring it back. I still own
the property, but like, uh, we're a good spot where
we're at right now. Like I'm in you know, I'm
in no hurry.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
How much land do you need competition like this?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Essentially? Really all you need is like a rodeo area. Uh,
Now parking becomes an issue like it in Winfield. The
fairgrounds is probably somewhere between fifty and eighty acres and
we will fill it up. There will be people parked
down north, south, east, and west, both lanes or both
shoulders of the highway. Vehicles down both sides of the road.
(01:19):
And it's a town of around four thousand people, and
we will quadruple the population of the.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
City that week. Why is the breed this fellow said,
His dog is a Louisiana Catahula leopard dog, and they
also use the black mouth curve dog. Why are those
two breeds in particular well suited for this?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They are more like spurting type dogs, really athletic. They're
fast too. They're built for like shorter range type honting.
They're really fast, really, and they're really durable. Like some
of the hounds and stuff are bred for longer race like,
uh say, like cats or deer or something that would
(02:04):
leave a colder track. These, uh, these cur dogs are
on a hot track and are really efficient in short
distances and short durations, a lot more efficient than a
hound would be in a short duration.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And why isn't.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Just genetics? Man? I don't know, you know, I'm not
a I'm a nerd about a lot of things. Uh,
But like I try not to do uh, I try
to overthink too much and uh some you know, I
see what works and I just stick with it. But
I have crossed. I crossed hound dog into my dogs
because a lot of times there's a lot of places
where you hunt hogs. It is hard, it is a
long race. Uh, it is dry ground, things like that,
(02:43):
stuff that a curd dog might not be able to
smell or might not have the stamina to stay with.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
What about the hall typically for curd dog? Good?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, typically if a curd dog laid his eyes on
it like it's they're gonna get it, you know. A
hound he's kind of more of a uh uh you know,
not as aggressive. But uh, what's the word I'm looking
for here? Uh, finesse. My hand dog is more of
a finesse type of style.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And what about it is I don't know if you've
nerded this deep into it? What about the hog is
is the scent that he's smelling? Is it? Is it
some sort of odor? I mean, is it? Is it his?
Is it like a what? What? What is it? Do
you know?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I mean like a dog can just you know, you know,
they can smell a few hours old where any type
of game has has traveled. And I don't know that
they release anything. I think it's just like you know,
basically their scent has left on a trail or whatever,
and the dog can pick that up and he stays
with it till he follows it, I mean till he
finishes it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But what that scent is? I mean, is it is
that scent in the hair? Is it in the skin?
Is it an oil? Is it? Is it defecation? Is
it urine? Is it? You know? What? What exactly is
that that they're picking up? You know, because I bet
there's something that that is, you know, being that that's
being left there that causes that scent. How far away
(04:12):
would you say is the max a dog can smell
a hog?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Uh? These these dogs that we're running, I feel like
could smell a three or four hour track fairly easily.
I know, they are more advanced. You know, there are
stronger nose type of dogs you would get more into
the hound side that could probably smell like these cadaver
dogs and stuff. They could probably smell something twelve hours
old or older. But they're not really suited. Uh, they
(04:42):
don't have the physical attributes to be able to subdue
a wild hog. So you've kind of got to cross
you know. That's why, like all my dogs are cross bread.
I get the strengths of both breeds put them together,
and that that's how I try to concoct the perfect
hog dog.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
How many homes ac.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Howe around twelve and they vary too, Like you need
like you were saying, you need to close her. You
need to, you know, for the put Mike Tyson in.
To finish the deal out in the woods. You have
to have catch dogs, typically.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Their pit bull Yeah that there are cur dogs that
will catch too, Yeah, I think, but I have a
couple of pit bulls and uh well, actually I think
I have three, and then the rest are either puppies
or or finished.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Trying to tell you, Jake, it is left an obvious
impression on me. The focus this dog had for the
job he was going to do that. That's one of
the things I love about dogs is they live to serve.
You know that they take great pleasure. Their whole focus
is to do their job. And this fella, I mean,
(05:49):
once they started barking and he knew it was about
to be time, it really did remind me of Tyson
coming into the arena. You know that played the one
note doom down, and you know you're just mentally getting ready.
This dog was getting ready for what he was about
to do, and it was just glorious to watch. It's
(06:10):
you know, I grew up with Cocker spaniels. Now we
have a German shepherd, but growing up it was always,
you know, kind of pets. But to see a working
dog work like that. I am not going to make
it to your competition this year, but I'm gonna make
it at some point. I think this would be a
whole lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
We would love to have you.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The website is hog baying dot com, the official website
of the World Championship of hog Baying, and I would
tell you it's not an easy thing to go see.
So that's why the competition would be a neat thing
to do, because this is kind of an underground culture
and folks, you know, I don't know how much time
we got left in this segment, but I know I
(06:53):
was told some actress slash comedian came after you. Who
was that that insulted you or claimed your some bad
guy for doing this? Man, would you rather not, because
I would just assume rake her over the cold for
that kind of nonsense. Now, now, when you need to
(07:20):
escape from me every day escape of.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
The Michael Verry Show an old trailer and o'high ball
and them famous dogs and mister Baron's got in there
with them, and old John U Banks and Hollo he
speak too, and my brother son and Hahu look food.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And oh it was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Now y'all get this picture about that time May tree.
We rushed down into the swamps and that the dogs
were treed up the biggest sweet gum tree and all
of ame at river swamps.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
It was huge.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You couldn't reach.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You around this tree. There wasn't a limb on it
for a while, way up there, huge tree. And I
looked around at John and I said, John, I don't
believe you can climb that tree. And it hurt John's feelings.
He poosed his lips out, got fighting mad. He said,
there ain't a tree in all these swamps that I
(08:17):
can't climb. And he got his broken shoes off and
he eased up to that sweet gum tree and he
hung his toenails in that bark and he got his
fingernails in there, and he kept easing up the tree,
working his way toward that bottom limb, and he finally
got to it and he started on up into this
big tree knock him out, John, It won't be long.
(08:38):
And John worked his way on up to the top
of the tree and who what up?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Dickon?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
And he reached around in his overhaus and got that
sharp stick and he drawed back and he punched the coon.
But it wasn't a coon.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It was a lynx.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
We call him souped up wild cats.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And the camp.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
And that thing had red thig tushes coming out of
its mouth and red big claws on the end of
its feet, and people that thing attacked John.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Up in the top of that tree. WHOA, you can
hear John squawd? What's the matter with John?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't have no idea.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
What in the world's happening to John?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Knock him out? John?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
WHOA?
Speaker 7 (09:25):
This thing's killing me.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
The whole top of the tree was shaken. The dogs
got to bite in the bark of the tree and
fighting one another underneath the tree, and I was kicking them,
like you dogs, get away. What's the matter with John?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Knock him out?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
John?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What this thing's killing me?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
And John knew that mister Barron told the pistol in
his belt to shoot snakes with, and he kept hollering,
who shoot this thing?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Have mercy?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
This thing killing me. Shoot this thing, And mister Baron said, John,
ain't shoot up in there, I might hit you. John said, well,
just shoot up in here.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Amongst us, one of us got to have some relief.
So here is the answer. Apparently, adult adult bores the
male hog release strong odors from their saliva, including molecules
(10:32):
like in drostenone and and drostenol, which dogs are able
to detect. So the greatest odor apparently comes from their saliva.
From the hog's saliva, which is a sexual pheromone boor
saliva contains unique molecules like quinoline which are not found
(10:56):
in south saliva the females, further aiding in the bores
unique scent profile. So I noticed several posts of people
asking how the dogs can hunt the hogs when hogs
have such an amazing sense of smell, and one report
(11:19):
was they possess a highly developed sense of smell capable
of detecting odors in excess of five miles. But dogs
have a significantly higher number of olfactory receptors compared to
humans and pigs, which grants them the ability to track
and detect sense with high accuracy, even from long distances.
(11:42):
So there is your answer not to be outdone our
friend Kenny Allen out in Waller, writes Zara. This Saturday
in Anderson, Texas is the biggest all around hog hunting
contest in the state of Texas. It is not limited
to hunting with dogs, but it's a great event that
benefits the Anderson Volunteer Fire Department and Grimes County Youth scholarships.
(12:06):
They call it Saint port Tricks Day since it's happening
around Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Pork Tricks Day, as Saint
Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, so shall we
drive the hogs out of Texas? And you can find
that online. I suspect the main event is this Saturday.
The competition is this Friday and Saturday. Four man teams
(12:31):
heaviest hog statewide hunt, cash prizes, gun giveaway every hour,
live music featuring Mike Donald, demos, giveaways, food, gun manufacturers
benefiting Anderson Volunteer Fire Department and local youth scholarships. Jackpot competitions,
(12:53):
average cutter, longest stringer, heaviest three hogs combined, and kids
twelve and under. Heavy is raccoon. So I guess the
kids hunt raccoons that's the Saint Pork Tricks twenty twenty
five hog hunt in Anderson, Texas. And it apparently happens
(13:14):
at the gun shop there, which I forget their darn name.
I saw it somewhere, Oh here we go at the
Circle Star of Firearms sixty three to twenty Highway ninety
North in Anderson, Texas. I think our friend Doug Agan
is I mean, Dan Agan is based out of Anderson, Texas.
He is a he owns a lot of a lot
(13:37):
of land there. He's a big timber guy, sells his timber.
I want to tell you about Wayne dol Tafino's look
at the DEEI Office of Harris County, but I don't
think I have time in this segment to get to it,
so I will get to it in the next one.
But he notes that the Director of the Offices in Procurements,
(14:01):
Maya Thornton, claimed workers conducted one thousand and thirty site
visits to construction firms awarded contracts under the Minority Women
Business Enterprise MWBE program, but when Dolchafino tried to get
those records, Executive director Estella Gonzalez admitted that workers haven't
(14:22):
been monitoring MWBE contracts at all, Well, if your job
is to monitor the contracts to make sure they got
enough blacks and Hispanics and I don't know trainees, I
don't know what else they got they're supposed to have there.
(14:42):
If that's your job to monitor that, and you claim
that that's what you've been doing, and now your executive
director admits no, you haven't, then what do you do.
It's a welfare program. It's a well paid welfare program.
(15:07):
You could abolish the entire damn thing and start over.
This is all Rodney Ellis, every bit of it. This
is when I was on city council, Rodney Ellis was
pushing for more MWBE. And what happens is companies, in
(15:28):
order to get city contracts, would move the company into
their wife's name so they could get And if you
weren't willing to do that, then you couldn't qualify for
these matters. I mean, that's just wrong. My buddy, Michael.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Berry, when Chance McClain does his heritage films, he will
know that there's certain things that I'm going to want
to see and you'll ask them, Hey, do you mind
if I share this with Michael it's a two prong
You mind if I share this with Michael and if
they say yes, you may share it with Michael.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Do you mind if he uses it on the air, because.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
He may.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
And they always say yes. I can't use everything, or
I forget about things because some of them are good.
But I just I have an embarrassment of riches of
things to talk about and audio to use. But most
of his folks are our show listeners who hire him
to do a heritage film on their family or a
(16:22):
big one now is on a company or on a town.
They want to tell the story for investors or for
visitors and chamber of commerce type thing. Anyway, So he said,
you're gonna love this. This is Hensley Weaver. He's a
rancher country as country gets. He is awesome. He's a
world class bobcat hunter. He clears nuisance cats at King
(16:46):
Ranch to this day. In his eighties, he took Storm
and Norman on a cat hunt. He took young Bubba
Watson and Tom Watson. He's just an awesome dude. I
probably have few fifty of these stories. This is about
how he got hooked on bobcat hunting. If you want
to use it you can. His son in law, my client,
(17:06):
Teddy Callis, is a pea one that's a hardcore listener,
and he said you can use it. So here he
is talking about how he got hooked on bobcat hunting.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Let me tell you the first one. When I was
a little boy, went over to my uncle's house and
they were gonna go cat hunting, and they let me
and the little brother and my cousin go.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
When we were.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Sitting up on top of the dog trade and No.
Fifty I number forty eight forward pick up way back there.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
We were about six.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Years old and went down on the creek there behind
my uncle's house, and we didn't know what the hell
was going on. Always know we the dogs were market.
So my uncle Coubs said they got him treed. So
we went up there, and we'd been me and my
little brother and my cousin had been fighting over little
gonna climb the tree and jump the cat out. So
(17:54):
when we got up there, shine the light on the cat,
and that cat wasn't much hind that ceiling. I don't
know why he didn't go no how, but he was
right there. My daddy said, all any boy's been fussing
on making all this ragged. Can't hear the dogs all day,
and which one of y'all gonna climb that tree.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Y'all been fussing about who's gonna climb the tree?
Speaker 6 (18:13):
And my contain said, I can't climb that tree. My
little brother said I can't either. They said, Anthley, get
your ass up that tree. I said, I can't climb
that tree either.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's scared, like we were scared at death.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You and my uncle took a little stick to hit
the get asked the thick hot to come.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It wasn't nothing to it. I hadn't runned me right there,
right there. My grandmother would describe that storytelling as that
in the middle he got tickled. He got yeah, you know,
he get real tickled right in the middle of telling
that story. Joy high Smith writes, good mornings are funny
(18:54):
story that might make you chuckle. When I was a
little kid, we lived on the Chicken Ranch Road here
in Lagrange. My daddy was a big man and very strong.
It was during the oil field days when roughnecks were rough.
The sheriff's office called my daddy to come to town
and help because there was a Houston wrestler in a
(19:15):
fight with some roughnecks at a beer joint in town.
Daddy got in the truck and went there. He wrestled
that guy down and bit his ear off and put
him in the bed of the truck and then took
him to the Calaboose that's the prison. It's really a jail,
but I like to work Calaboose, so I'm gonna go
along with it. The sheriff kept that ear in a
(19:37):
jar of formaldehyde in his office for years. When our
city cousins would come visit, we'd go to the courthouse
and look at it. The old jail in Calaboose is
still there. It's a war museum now. My daddy became
constable after that we had to move to town. Also,
I just heard Tom T. Hall, Who's going to Feed
(19:58):
Them Hogs? Song? That's the most requested song by the
school kids waiting in line to get out, our grandkids
requested on Saturday mornings. KVLG. That's all I got. Enjoy
your day. That pretty good story right there. That's good
quality storytelling. Jim, all right, I want to play you
(20:19):
the Wayne del Chaffino story and point out how wasteful
Harris County government is with your tax dollars. This is
Wayne del Chafino. Go ahead, it's clip number twelve. GYM.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
We told you to.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Some Harris County departments are being run almost totally remote.
The Office of Management and Budget had no one working
full time in the office. In February, the Department of
Economic Equity and Opportunity, our version of DEI, only two
of its sixty seven employees came to the office full time.
(20:56):
And now there's evidence they really aren't doing what we
thought what they were doing with their eight and a
half million dollar budget. In February, Maya Thornton, the director
of what they call inclusive Procurements, gave commissioners an update.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Additionally, we awarded six hundred and forty million in contracts
to MWB firms, which accounts for our twenty eight point
five percent in total awards, and this just kind of
brings us closer to our thirty percent aspirationial goal that
the county has identified and outlined.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Thornton is making one hundred and ninety thousand dollars a
year in that job. We look at the Equity department website,
it says they're supposed to do site visits on Harris
County vendors to make sure they are complying with the
county's MWBE program. For several weeks, we've been asking for
documentation of those site visits and have gotten nothing. We
(21:49):
thought it would be easy to produce. The department claims
to have conducted one thousand and thirty site visits by
their Worker and Community Protection team. They supposedly check on
workers safety at construction projects, but not MWBE. We finally
heard from the head of the department. Executive director Estella Gonzalez,
confirmed to us by email that her people haven't been
(22:11):
monitoring MWBE contracts at all, not one, claiming staffing shortages
have kept them from doing site visits, but they're going
to start in July, she says, blaming manpower and the
never ending need for you guessed it more money.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
I will say that Maya and I are both committed to,
you know, growing the team there and asking for resources
so that we can research more.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Gonzalez makes two hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars a
year and gets to work from home when she wants to.
The budget for her department has swollen to eight million
dollars and it's time to get the DEI Department to
give us some straight answers. In a message to Precinct
three Commissioner Tom Ramsay, that same woman, Maya Thornton, claimed
(22:58):
they did monitor the mda UBE program with site visits.
The only contractors, she said, are in the MWBE program.
Fourteen days after our first request for site visit records,
the department posted a picture on their Facebook page saying
for the first time they now had a fleet vehicle
(23:18):
for site visits. It was almost like they finally realized
that someone was actually checking up to make sure they
were doing their jobs. Look at this document of all
the remote and hybrid workers at the DEO forty hours
forty hours forty hours full time salary positions, but no
(23:39):
one knows for sure where they were on their remote days.
And this is nice. The Houston Business Journal just awarded
the Harris County DEI Program the twenty twenty five Outstanding
Diverse Organization of the Year. Congratulations are in order.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
What Daddy show On this day? In nineteen sixty six,
the theme to the Batman TV show, which you just heard,
reached its chart peak of seventeen on the charts. Can
you imagine that you turn on the radio and the
(24:25):
song they're playing would be the Batman theme song. Then
were you big into Batman? I think Ramon fantasized about
being Robin. I don't know that, but since he's not here,
I'm gonna say that because people half assed listen anyway,
In three years from now, somebody will come up to him.
I can't believe you fantasized about being Robin, and Ramon
(24:48):
will say, what are you talking about, and he'll say
I heard it. I heard it on the radio. They'll
believe it, and you know there's some glory in that.
Teach him, Teach him to be suspended for a week.
Michelle writes Zar, I cannot thank you enough for having
the allergists on your show. The other day. I listened
to him talk about the navage. My grandson, who's going
(25:10):
to turn eleven on the fourth of next month, has
had severe allergies since Hurricane Harvey ruined his mom and
dad's house and the mold took over while they rebuilt.
Caden has no sense of smell, and we don't even
know if he ever smelled anything since birth. I ordered
the nevage as soon as I got to work and
it came in on Saturday. Sunday. My daughter read up
(25:32):
on it and they started their venture. And my grandson
Kayden said after the first use he loved it. Three
days in he can breathe out of his left nostril
for the first time. I can only imagine what the
two weeks will be for him. Instructions say to do
this for two weeks. I thank you from the bottom
of my heart for that morning. I love your show,
(25:53):
Michelle English Gmau. It's probably Grandma, Jim. I know how
to read things like that. That probably Grandma. Well, you know,
we first had Mary Tally Boden on the show five
years ago because somebody sent me a viral video of
(26:13):
her as doctor Snotsucker, and so I had her on
the air to talk about the importance of clearing your
nasal passages, which in addition to giving you comfort, can
make a huge difference in your overall health. And so
of course she became very famous over COVID and you
(26:37):
know the Texas Medical Board coming after her, and then
her exposing the fact that the medical director of the
Texas Medical Board is also the medical director of Planned Parenthood,
who knew he had two jobs. I mean, what kind
of scam was going on there? But anyway, she's become
quite famous. She has a huge online social media following.
She's become a social personality over the issue of patients
(27:02):
rights in the doctor patient relationship. So anyway, doctor Colosso,
who had been treating my wife for alergies for five years,
she begged me to go to him, and so I did,
and we're working through all of the things that I
want to get rid of. But like most men, and
I know every guy I knowah's like this, we knew
(27:24):
there was something wrong. We just didn't ever get off
our butts to go do something about it, whereas my
wife will and so then she can breathe better and
not have all these problems that I still have had. Anyway,
so we had him on was that this past Friday.
I guess it was his past Friday, and I knew
(27:46):
it being policies and especially that people were going to respond.
But I have been surprised how many people have emailed
me and said, what was the name of the allergy clinic? Again,
I suffered with this, and hearing you talk about it,
I just I don't want to have to deal with
this any longer. So, but I asked him, for those
(28:08):
of you who missed the interview, you can go back
and hear it on the podcast from this past Friday morning.
I asked him, what is the poor man's answer to
allergy problems? And he said the same thing that Mary
taly Boden said five years ago, and this seems to
be rather consistent. Nasal rents, you can go get a
netty pot and they have these little salt packages you
(28:32):
put in there, and it's basically just salted water. And
you use distilled water because there could be organisms and
things in our tapwater, not if you do what I didn't,
go to Abaca's Plumbing and get a water filter. But
either way, you use distilled water. You put it in
there and you basically run it through your nose. And
it's pretty simple concept. It's like a pe trap. It
(28:54):
goes in one side and you pull it up and
it goes you turn on your side and gravity pulls
it through and it runs through your nose and comes
out the other side. Well, the salt in the water
has the effect you would expect. The salt pulls everything
out of your nose that's sitting there and as it
turns out, those pollens that are so rampant outside right
(29:17):
now are pulled out of your nose because the problems
they're causing, they're actually just collected, and you know they're
just sitting in your nostrils and causing you all these problems.
So his answer was the poor man's answer before doing
anything else or even seeing a doctor, is doing nasal rents.
And he said that when he goes for a jog
(29:38):
at Rice village and the tree, the live oak pollen
is really bad. That's and that's one of his big allergies.
And mine that when he comes home and he can
feel it, after that, he immediately goes to the bathroom
and a and does a nasal rents. You ever doing
a nasal rence, Jim? You do how often? Often? Once
(30:02):
a month on any sense of regularity, or you just
bored and you go out doing nasal rerens when you
start feeling the pollen. Okay, well it's that season now,
I uh, it's gonna be interesting. He has set my expectations. Look,
we're starting on the allergy shots. We're gonna get you.
You know, we're on the expedite. You can do the
slower where it's a smaller amount of the antigen they
(30:25):
put into your body, and you do it for a
longer period of time, and I think that takes a year,
or you can do the faster with it, and I
think that takes seven months, because what you're doing is
you're putting the evil into your body, and your body
is building up a response to it the way you
do with a vaccine or anything of the sort. And
I think mine is seven months. So he said, look,
(30:47):
I'm not gonna promise you you're gonna you're gonna have
an antibody to the think to the things that cause
you all these problems for this season, but my goal
is to have you in good shape for next season.
Hell I've had allergy so long and it has bothered
me for so much of my life. I think at
this point I don't know that it would necessarily matter.
(31:11):
I was reading that the Batman theme song let Me
See if I Can, it's a guy named Neil Hefti
who did it, and he said he based it on
let Me See if I which I hadn't really noticed.
But it's true that he said that he based it
on spy film song of Scores and surf music, and
(31:35):
he blended the two into a twelve bar blues progression
using only three chords until the coda. The music was
performed by the Wrecking Crew, which is the group that
Glenn Campbell was part of Out of La, with Tommy
Tedesco on the guitar, Carol Kay on bass ball. That
one was a bad She's amazing title song. Batman theme
(31:59):
is what it charted at seventeen Andy Adam West nineteen
ninety four book Back to the Batcave, in which he
incorrectly recalled that the theme featured horns rather than vocals.
That's pretty funny. Adam West had a pretty good run there.
You know what I learned last night, Jim? I was
reading up on the Brady Bunch. You know how it
(32:22):
was created? Did you know how Robert Reid died aids? Yeah?
How'd you know that? He was homo? I had no
idea And apparently he fought with the producer's constantly because
he didn't like the writing. He always wanted to change it,
and apparently he would storm off the set. I was
reading all about this. Apparently he was quite dramatic on set.
