Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
If I'm holding forth at dinner, I'm something I'm interested in,
and my wife will say, oh, who's Don Williams or
anything else. The boys will groan and say a comedy skitting, Oh,
show mom, because they have a theory that if I'm
excited about something and you show any interest, then then

(00:25):
I'm not going to stop talking about it. So a
lady emailed in and said, I never heard of Jack Clement.
Sounds like that's somebody I need to know. Can you
tell me more? I wish my kids could have heard that.
They would have enjoyed that moment. I said, you know what,
let me not just go off my memory. I went back.

(00:48):
Let me give you an idea of what a big
deal Jack Clemt was. So he was the recording engineer
for Sun Records. For Sam Phillips, he recorded the million
Dollar Quartet, Uh jer Lee, Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis, Johnny Cash,
He launched Charlie Pritte. He he would come to Beaumont

(01:16):
and they would set up a recording studio there and
and a label where he did patches by Dicky Lee.
He brought in Alan Reynolds and Bob mc Bob McDill
Bob McDill as you remember, wrote practically everything that Don
Williams wrote. He he produced this song right here for

(01:40):
George Jones, who of course was in Beaumont at that time.
He would go on to produce uh, let me see,
Ray Stevens, Everything is Beautiful, Tom Paul and the Glazer Brothers.
He would write songs that would be recorded by Johnny Cash,
Dolly Pardon, Charles, Carl Perkins, Bobby Bear, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves,

(02:03):
Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Pride, Tom Jones, Nicky Lee, Moon, Mullikin,
Hank Snow, Garth Brooks, John Prime, bog Hat, Roy Orbison
and Moore. Yeah. He would also produce Whalen Jennings, Johnny Cash,
Doc Watson, Chev Woolley, Louis Armstrong, Frankie Yankovich, Eddie Arnold

(02:25):
and Moore. He kind of did something, did Jack Clement.
There's not a lot of people in music behind the scenes.
I mean, he was a recording arst himself. We just
never never hit it with that. Vaughn on the black
Line question for you, what did you make in twenty
eighteen when you were leaving? What was your salary? Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
About sixty between sixty five and sixty seven thousand.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Did you get overtime right now?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's oh yeah, but that's without over time. But right
now I think it's about seventy five or something like that.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
How much did you hire on a Do you remember
what you first made when you started there?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I started as a casual in Orange, Texas in nineteen
eighty six. I was getting only five dollars an hour
as a casual. That's a person that just not on
the regular force. And you know, you don't contribute to
retirement or anything.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And what were you doing.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Delivering mail?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh so you're doing what.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
The other people are.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
You just didn't get the benefits right, right? And which
post office were you working out.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Of Orange Texas at that time?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Okay? Was that the only one? Because I know where
the post office was, but I don't know if that
was the only one.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, that's the only one an Orange. But then I
moved over to Port Arthur and worked there for about
twenty nine and a half years and went back to Orange.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
You probably delivered mail to a lot of.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
People, I know, probably so, yeah, because I was working
around town. You know at one time, you know what
they call a technician is a person that has five
routes a week, just work on each carrier's off day,

(04:36):
you know, so they pay him a little bit higher.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh that's the rotator.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, uh technician. Like the guy you just named Cornelia's.
He probably thought they were gonna blame it on the
on the regular carrier or something. They don't teach him,
you know, how to get caught or anything, you know,
so he didn't he didn't realize, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Uh So, I'm that guy that goes and speaks to
the post office guy every day, and so if there's
somebody delivering the mail that's not my usual person, and
I go out there because I just see the vehicle
po Yeah, I'll say, oh, I just want to come
out and say hello to my to my postman and
I say oh okay, and I'll say, uh uh are

(05:22):
you filling in today? And it'll be a person who's on.
And that always struck me as kind of like being
the substitute teacher, because you never get you you don't
get your routine down, that you don't seem like you
can't get can't get a groove.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, uh yeah. A lot of people would you know,
complain because you know, they wouldn't get their mailed at
the exact same time. Sometimes it would be earlier than
the regular carrier. Sometimes it would be you know, a
lot later. But uh, yeah, we were speaking about people
stealing and stuff we had during the course of my time.
There maybe three or four people they caught with uh

(06:02):
with the mail at their house, you know, uh, rooms
full of mail, you know, mail all in their trunk
and everything, and uh, I remember one I think it
was a girl. Her boyfriend UH reported her when they
you know, ended up getting into some conflict and so
she ended up losing her job like that. But yeah,

(06:23):
each one of them, uh ended up l losing their job.
But I don't see why they would bring that stuff home.
What was the point? You know, it was just I
don't think they were using them any cards or anything
like that, but they'd have rooms full of mail. And
detectives went over there to one guy house and told

(06:45):
the union stood uh things that wasn't related to uh
to the mail. What what he found in the fellaw's house.
You know that was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Though, like like what kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Uh, playgirl magazine and in the.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Guy's house play girl magazine.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Uh no, that's the kind of it was a guy
you know, but it was a guy magazine. I mean,
you know we're not guy naked guys you know in
the magazine.

I sold my house to my son and daughter in law.
I moved into my motorhome.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, don't you have a boat too?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
And well I had a boat. We were arguing whether
it was a yacht or not.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Remember, yeah, you called it a yacht.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah. Well, okay, can I explain something really quick before
we get totally off subject here.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't know what the subject is I was.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Saying, as well, I was gonna I was calling in
about the mail thing.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh, well, that's never really the subject been. Well, okay,
to be a conversation.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Okay, So I was saying anything over twenty five foot
of a yacht. But that's not what I exactly meant,
and I wish I had explained it better. They the
center consoles are center consoles. The cabin cruisers are cabin cruisers.
The yacht has a door to the bedroom, has its

(11:50):
own shower, a kitchen had a stove, you know, three
TVs on it, stuff like that. That's what I considered
to be a yacht. Not to mention it says that
on the title. So a better console is not a yacht,
it's just a center console.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, no, I know what a center console is. I've
got a listener named Kent. I don't actually know his
last name, but he has a website called Little Yacht Sales,
and he's one of the guys that I ask about
when I have questions. I asked Kent Little. I just

(12:28):
looked it up and I asked him when I have
boat questions, and I'm gonna ask him. Let's see if
I can find his number here. They don't have the
phone number. You know, nobody wants you to call him anymore, Ben,
They want you to fill out a form on the website.
Nobody wants you to call him. Well, here it is.
We're gonna call him real quick. Two eight one. I

(12:48):
know that three three, four sixty five hundred. I had
to argue with hurts. God help you trying to get
somebody on the phone with hurts. Nobody wants to answer
the phone in nobody. I don't know why people do
business if they can help it with people that don't
want to answer the phone. Everybody wants to Used to it, Ben,

(13:09):
you're not old enough to remember because you're just fifty,
but used to you would call and somebody answer the phone, right,
And then they got somebody that they paid somebody to
answer the phone. And then they figured out, oh no,
we're gonna have it where you call and he go, hello,
you have reached you know, Ben's shop, and for this

(13:31):
person wants a phone tree, so you had to sit
there and play the game. Ah okay, all right, And
then they figured out, well, we've already got them trained
on that. Let's do an answering service and then we'll
pay somebody. And those people don't know. So you call
and go, hey has been there, and they go no,
but can I take a message? And you knew right
then you're not in ben shop. You just somebody off six'

(13:52):
ten north at a call. Center and then they figured, out,
well look you're getting terrible service from the person off,
sixten so we'll just move that To. India so now you,
hello this Is. Mary how CAN i help? You this Is?
Mary well you're Not, mary and we know you're not.
Married it's it's. Horrible and then they figured, out, no, no,
no we'll just do away with the phones. Altogether you'll

(14:15):
just go in there and fill out the. Thing, well
nobody wants to do, that including, me because THEN i,
MEAN i don't mind an email. EXCHANGE i would actually prefer,
that but But i'm not giving you my cell phone.
