At the last time.

But I'm gonna tell you people that it's long, you've
been down out for three weeks.

Johnny doctor Johnny fever and I am burning up in here.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
What we all in critical condition babies.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
But you can tell me where it hurts, because I
got the healing prescription here from the Big KRP Musical Medicine.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Got need.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Tammy writes from Valentine's Day. My husband ordered me two
boxes of cookies that you recommended as the best in
the world. Of course they're going to be here late,
but for those two boxes, the price tag was a
whopping ninety dollars. They better be great. I'm a baker.
You know how much flour I could buy with ninety dollars. Well,
as usual, what I said was not carefully considered. I
(02:34):
didn't say that the best cookies in the world. I
just happened to particularly like the fact that they're not
thick cookies. I'm not a crumble guy. You crumble guy,
Yeah you are. I don't like big, thick, crumble cookies
because afterwards I feel like I need to take a nap.
And the thing about the Missus Haynes Moravian cookies is
(02:58):
that they're so thin, and so you have one, you know,
theoretically you could just walk by and you know, you
pull it out of the ten and you drop one
on your you know, it's almost like a drop you know,
the allergy drops or something. It's almost like this little
drop you'd put on your on your tongue. It melts,
(03:21):
and theoretically you would eat one of those and that
would satiate your uh, your your desire for something sweet,
and you'd move on down the road and everything would
be fine. But it doesn't work like that because you
end up eating sixty one of them, and that's just
the way it is. But anyway, you'll you'll enjoy it anyway.
(03:45):
Saying the word say shape made me think about something.
I get emails every day and I usually just block
the person because I figure, if you're that kind of person,
I really don't need to hear from you. And people
don't understand what it means to do. You know, if
you if you're a mechanic, you know now you can
walk up under the car. But when my uncle started
you you'd they'd jack it up and then you'd roll
(04:07):
under in the you know, the two pieces of wood
with the tool on the other side, and maybe if
you're lucky, they have a little carpet over it to
soften it in some wheels. And when he was up
under that car, if you came out and asked him
a question, and you asked him another one in five minutes.
You better bundle the questions because he'll come up out
of there. But we're not doing it every you know,
I got to remember where I am. You know how
(04:28):
many screws I've taken out of this thing and nuts
and bolts I've pulled off of this damn thing, And
so you just didn't do it lightly. Well, so you
understand that that guy is doing. I'm not up under
a car, so you can come ask me a question anytime,
because I'm not up under a car with oil leaking out.
I got this one little task and something in my hand.
(04:49):
So you're mindful when you talk to him of what
situation he's in. Well, when you I'm an idiot for
reading all my emails, but I enjoy it. The problem
is some people can't underst that because they fire up
their Pewter and send an email which takes them twenty
minutes to write, and the next day they fire it
back up and see if the person has responded to it. Well,
(05:09):
for me, when you've got all these emails coming in
and you try very hard and at this point I'm
still able to do it, which is why I tell people,
don't send me more than one to day. You read
an email, So you imagine doing five hours of ready
a day, reading every email, trying to produce good content,
trying to get results for your sponsors, trying to hear
in there. Get a guy a meal because it's his
(05:30):
forty third it's his last day of working as a
deputy constable and he's retiring after forty three years. So
at that point you're kind of hitting on all cylinders,
you know. I mean, you sort of Tom Brady in
the pocket thirty seconds left and they got a full
on blitz. So it's not that you're better than anybody else,
it's you know what, I can't stop right now and
listen to you. I need to get rid of this ball.
(05:52):
And there are a certain number of people who can't
help themselves who'll go Well, technically, you said the guy
with sixty eight, and I looked up the story. Technically
he was sixty seven, And I think to myself, what's
going through your head at that moment? Are you thinking
to yourself? Wait? Wait, you were not one hundred percent.
I got an email yesterday. I was talking about the
(06:14):
RFK Junior nomination passing, and when he got to fifty votes,
it was fifty to forty seven, let's say, and Ramon said,
we don't have to worry. We got the tie breaking vote,
JD Vance's tie breaking vote. We don't have to worry
fifty clinches, we don't need fifty one. And I made
that statement on the air, and I get an email
(06:37):
from a guy who says JD. Vance out of town,
and I said, yeah, but they had a commitment for
the fifty first, so he left with a full on commitment,
knowing he wouldn't have to rush back. So that's how
they did it. But you didn't say that. You didn't
say it was out of the country. I know, But
the point is he was confirmed, and at that point
he was confirmed, but you didn't say it. You didn't
(06:57):
say that. You didn't say it out of the county.
He's out the county, he's out the country, and its
out of the county. Do you know it's out of
the country. And I'm thinking to myself, it's really important
to you that what I stated was absolutely one hundred
percent correct at that moment, and that I speak in
parentheticals for everything I say. You know that wall is white.
Well it's not actually white, it's actually egg. It's a
(07:19):
you know whatever, stupid various colors they have, and I thought,
you know, that's what the block button is for. But
it also made me think to myself, imagine how many
people are going through life looking around. Teddy Roosevelt has
a line, it's not how the strong man stumbles. Imagine
how many people are going or walking around. And these
(07:42):
are our listeners, right, so this just didn't They're walking
around looking for some way that someone else is falling
short of what they've decided is perfection and focusing on that.
That's the person who is not going to be happy.
(08:04):
That's the person for whom I'm constantly saying, Hey, guys,
if you tell me you're mad all day long right
now with Trump, then you're never gonna be happy. You're
just looking for a reason to be unhappy. And and
that I have to say, instead of making me mad,
(08:24):
it makes me sad. I used to do aerobics till
I dropped. Then I found you, Michael, I.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Recommend that you, cupid, dump back your good.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Let's oh, I didn't forget to make this sound.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Effect speak to my love's heart, or.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Did I speak over. Start that's perfect, and let your
Arab straight too, But you start at the beginning if
it's none of the very beginning, because I need to
get the full stature. What a beautiful arrangement.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You're simple, Cupid, draw back your goal and let your
Arab bowl spek to my lover's.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Heart for me.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
For me, Cupid, please hear my cry and let your
Arab flies straight to my lover's heart for me.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress.
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
For I love the girl doesn't know I exist.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And unless you can fix s cubid too, back your
pool math, let your arrowool straight to my lover's heart
for me, Lord body, would me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You bed, please hear my cry? Let your arrow flies straight.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
My love was hot for me.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Now you bid if the arrow make a lust of
with me. Our old friend Jim Gaffigan and one of
my favorite bits on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Valentine's Day, the tradition is we give each other those
big red hearts filled with the gamble chocolate. Have you
eating any chocolate of those big red hearts with any confidence?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
This could either be really good.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Or totally nasty, and I'm just pick enough to find out.
I got the one filled with toothpaste.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
I'm don't have to eat another nine to get rid
of that flavor. There's the big redhearts filled with the
gamble chalk, one of the tiny chalk heart shaped and acids.
I know I make you nauseous. Here's a tombs with
(11:27):
hug me written on it.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Neib that'll help.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Chris sits right expressions of love two or three times
a week. I'll take the handkerchief from my pocket and
wipe the camera lens above the license plate on my
wife's car. Don't want her to see any smudges when
she puts the car in reverse. This is something that
(11:56):
she will never know. That's love. Love is doing something
for which you don't get any kudos. You just do
it because you want good things for that person. A
little life advice, you know what, Let me let a
(12:17):
woman lecture you off first, and then I'll give it.
This one is from Katie any urgent message for men urgent.
She says, anyone who has a wife out there, or
girlfriend or fiance, this is the key to a happy relationship.
It's very simple. Just listen to what she says and
take it seriously. Now you hear that and you're like, okay, yeah,
(12:40):
that doesn't sound too bad. But wait quick, coming home
from work and jumping on the game or whatever it
is you may do, that's a distraction from the real work.
I'm tired. It's okay to have time to unwind. But
in moderation. Wait, what once you form a habit of comfort,
(13:05):
you were leaving your spouse in the relationship alone? Well, well,
I was the one got up at five o'clock to
drive an hour and fifteen minutes to the plant, and
so that we could live in a neighborhood with decent
schools and you wouldn't get raped and our kids wouldn't
(13:25):
get mugged at school. And I kind of feel like
I was in that part of the relationship alone. You know,
hour and fifteen minutes there, hour and fifteen minutes back.
Y'all were all asleep. But okay, I don't want you
to feel alone when I get home at the end
of a day where I'm beat to hell and I
want to put my feet up and crack a coal.
One that distance will grow and it becomes harder and
(13:48):
harder for the woman to become connected in a sexual
way when she feels a distance. Oh wait, hold on,
so now, so now wait what? Yes, No, I have
a headache. You've had a headache for sixty seven straight
damn days. Okay, I don't have a headache. It's just
(14:10):
that you get up real early and drive an hour
and a half to work traffic this morning, and drive
an hour and a half back and you get home
at the end of all that, and your back hurts
and your head hurts and all that, and you want
to drink a cold beer and you're late for the
beginning of the game that you've been dying to see,
and you sit on the couch and I want to
go in there and tell you about Wendy and how
(14:33):
she didn't even ask me. The moms were painting the
windows of the team, the football team for Friday night,
and she didn't even ask me to come and help
paint the windows. And we have a junior too, and
I don't feel like that's right, and I'm mad at Wendy.
So I told Susie, and Susie said, well, I'll tell Letitia,
(14:53):
And Letitia said she would tell, but she ended up
telling Wendy, And now Wendy's saying that I'm being a
baby about it, and I'm thinking to myself, you know,
I just want to drink of cold beer. Be left
the hell alone tonight or tomorrow. Be spontaneous and tell
your wife or whoever may come on, we're going to eat,
(15:13):
and take her to eat, and you pick the place.
Follow this advice, and you will be sure to have
a happy life and a happy wife. Dear God, you
will be These are gods. You know what this is
right here? That's a recipe for alcoholism. I've seen this happen.
I've seen this happen more times than I can tell you.
A fellow that just takes a beating all day and
(15:37):
comes home and takes a beating all night. You know,
you guys will say happy wife, happy life, and all
that sort of stuff, and they'll say, you know, just
whatever my wife tells me to do, that is not happiness.
I don't believe that's happiness. And I don't happen to
believe that's good. And you know what I think. I
(15:59):
don't think women and that's sexy. You know, when you
meet your wife, when you meet the girl you end
up marry You don't go up and go uh, I'm
a pathetic puddle of water. Just pour me down the
drain or splash me against the wall, or leave and
come back, and I'll still be sitting here and she says,
Oh my god, I love you. You just do whatever
(16:21):
I say whenever I say to do it, And that's
wonderful and that's great. I don't think women find that
sexy at all. I don't think they find it attractive.
I don't think they respect it. At the end of
the day, I think women want men to be men
and men want women to be women. I do. I
think women want a man to be a man. I
think there's a certain intrigue for women if we are not.
(16:45):
You know, fellas need to be able to go to
poker night, or they need to be able to fly
out to Vegas with their buddies or go on a
hunting trip, and women something that strange.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I care.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I've got an emailed by Lubosh. It's one of our
favorite emails. He's called a show before. He's from somewhere
in eastern Europe. It's one of those places you'll never go,
like where I've been in Eastern Europe, and I like
to think of myself as somebody who loves to travel
(17:34):
and has traveled to Fairmount. I've been to Romania, I've
been to Croatia, I've been to Czech Republic. What I've
never been to Bulgaria. But lubash is from one of
the places I've never been. So Milania is from Slovenia.
(17:55):
But I'm just thinking about the fact of how many
places there are with a bunch of white people that
we know nothing about. Right, So I will list a
country and you tell me first thing that comes out
of your mouth, and then if there's another thing that
goes with it, all right, Paris or France? Sorry Parisians?
(18:20):
Did you just say Parisians, Eiffel Tower, cheese, wine? Okay?
England or UK Germany? What crowd? Okay? Yeah, now I'll
do one. How about this Poland? Hitler? Oh, Hitler. But
my point is that's not the Polish people, right. It's
(18:42):
just amazing to me that there are parts of the
world that have lots and lots of people and pretty
awesome culture and you don't really know much about Belarus.
Tell me one thing you know about the Belarusians. Nothing Lithuania.
(19:05):
Are you saying Azerbaijan to the response to Lithuania or
did you just pull something out of your ass like
my brother used to do. I could not have this
conversation with my brother because he would just start pulling
out crazy stuff. Kazakh Stean. No, I'm asking you to
name one thing about the countries, and you're just throwing
random stuff out. You have no idea where that is?
(19:26):
What do you think about that? Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania.
I met one Albanian in my life, and I ask people,
I'm a guy. I mean, I'm weird. I walk around
and randomly out, hey, where are you from? You got
cool accent? Where are you from? Nobody does that? And
(19:49):
I've only met one Albanian and the only reason I
met him is he owned a place called Bubba's Barbecue
in downtown Houston, and he had it all read knecked out.
You know, after nine Helen gas station owners would put
flags into how we love America. They do all this,
they let go rule. So he went this guy went redneck, redneck,
(20:11):
redneck barb No, it was terrible barbecue. But I'm just
looking on a map here at countries that we know
nothing about. Slovenia, as we mentioned, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Macedonia.
Half the weight staff in Colorado right now because of
(20:34):
this visa deal they got going on, are seasonal workers
from Macedonia. It's just Macedonians everywhere. Russia just grabbed up
all these places and nobody cared, and nobody saw them again.
Nobody ever saw those people ever again. Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan.
(20:57):
I had a classmate in England from Kazakhstan, and we
decided that we would ask him questions about Kazakhstan. But
we had no basis upon which to even begin asking
him questions, so we kind of lost interest in His
English wasn't very good. But we thought it was going
to be a hoot. We're gonna ask him a bunch
of questions about kazak We gon quiz him about Kazakhstan,
(21:18):
but we didn't even know where to start. Like, Okay,
y'all are kind of off the southeastern border of Russia. Huh, yes,
this is true. Okay, Well, are y'all the ones that
get on a horse and take a homemade polo stick
and put a goat head in there and bang it
(21:39):
up and down there like they've done for two thousand years. No,
this is neighbor. Oh okay, well that's all I got.
I really don't. I can't really, And this started, this
was a good concept, But really I don't know anything
else about you. That's that's all I got. Laura la
u r A if you're wondering, because people always want
(22:01):
is it Laura la ra? Or is it Laura la
u are a? Laura? You're up?
Speaker 5 (22:07):
You spelled it correctly. Named after my grandmother, who was Italian.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Was she from New Orleans too?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
No? Unfortunately not Unfortunately, she was from Sicily Are you
from New Orleans? No, sir, where are you from? From Brooklyn?
But I've been here. Yeah, I've been here forty five years,
so I'm almost a Texan? But you do.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's the same accent, right, is it? Yeahs linguists have
traced the thick New Orleans accent as originating from Brooklyn.
Has all the same patterns. But anyway, I like the
way you talk. How old are you? Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
What?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
I will be seventy five this year?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You sent them adorable?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Oh aren't too sweet? I needed that today? Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Well, nothing else is going on today. You know, when
you get to be my age, you don't do as much.
And I'm not complaining, I'm just stating in fact, So,
in any case.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Where do you live.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
In Spring? Texas?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, I was wondering which spring, but you threw
the Texas in and now I got it. You know, Laura,
I have thought about because I thought about doing old
people date night, but I think that's just too much pressure.
People have anxiety. And what's going to happen is all
the women are going to want to do it because
at that age, they're all eager. Right, it's a flip
of when you're a teenager. But you're gonna have a bunch.
(23:46):
I'm gonna have a bunch of sixty year old women
trying to take their dad on this thing. Oh my god,
that are you know, Archie Bunker kind of. But I
think it would be nice to have a meet up
and we could do a rotating meetup and our old people.
You have to be a certain age. You would barely
I mean, you really don't qualify at seventy five, but
we'd make an exception for you. You could maybe be the
event coordinator, because you got a lot of spunk to you.
(24:09):
But I thought it'd be fun and do it as
a daytime deal. And have you know Dominoes over there
and majiong over there and Bingo over there. Wouldn't that
be fun?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Oh my goodness, you're an activities director if nothing else.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
No, I'm a social animal, as we all are. And
I find you know that my wife reads about these
blue zones and the Mediterranean people, and one of the
things they find that people who live a long life
it is less related to what they eat than how
much they socialize. And happiness and longevity is related to
(24:45):
laughing and enjoying the people you're around and having social groups.
And I noticed that people in their eighties and above
who enjoy their time, it's because they go to a thing.
My trainer, Petru, his famous line is that the older
people he come is that that they say, you're a
breath of fresh air coming to our home. People need
(25:06):
to socialize. Hold online. That's how I found my first
ten wives.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's so fidy, Laura, Yes, are you ready for a
doozy of an email?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
An email?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, listen to this? You ready? Oh?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Okay? Thinking you were going to send me one.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, no, I send you when we're done. This is
from a woman named Jill Coffin. Okay, okay, he says zar.
Forty years ago, I met a man, fell in love,
got pregnant, engaged, and moved to Arizona with him. So far,
so good, right, I guess, Lauren, what was wrong with
(26:03):
the story till that point.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Well, a story when it's told that way, there is
going to be a punchline. But you do it well,
so continue.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But I said, so far, so good, So I needed
you to go absolutely, yeah, all right, okay, we're moving along. Yes,
I agree. I'm with you. I'm putting up with your
I'm picking up what you're putting in. When I was
five months pregnant, we split up, never married. After five years,
I moved back to Texas and we spent our son's
first eighteen years fighting over custody and support. We pretty
(26:35):
much hated each other. Long story short. When our son
was twenty seven, he was in a horrific oil filled
accident in West Texas. I lived in the same area
and was able to get to the hospital within twenty minutes.
I called his dad and he was at the hospital
within twenty four hours. We spent the next three months
in a Dallas hospital with our son and spent many
hours talking in waiting rooms. Then, when our son was
(26:58):
at a good point in his recovery, we both left
and went back to our lives. Over the next three years,
we would see each other on occasion as we would
take turns being with our son. As he continued to
have surgeries. We became friends decided to start dating long distance.
Three years later we were married. What we learned, by
(27:19):
the grace of God was to forgive, find the good
in each other, and live with Christ as a center
of our marriage. I've never known there could be such
a deep spiritual love. We're celebrating our tenth anniversary this
year and love each other beyond measure, praising God for
all the good and bad we both went through to
get to this point. Ps. Our son is back working
(27:41):
for the same oil filled company. He's disabled, but he
loves the Lord, carries no bitterness, and lives a blessed
life with his two sons. God is good all the time.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Very nice story, Laura.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I want you to imagine for a moment that you
are this guy's boss that the kid who, at twenty
seven was in a bad accident horrific. She described it horrific.
That means we got stuff mangled and mashed and amputated
and won't ever work again. I mean you horrific is yeah,
(28:17):
Well you get the point right. It's a very expressive word.
And he comes back disabled, okay, which means he didn't
sue the company. He comes back disabled and works for
the company. And two years later it's time for layoffs
and his name is on the layoff list. How do
(28:38):
you think you look at that name? Hey, guys, could
y'all come down here for a minute. Y'all want to
lay off Tommy Smith? I got at your bane or
Mackenzie or who I got it that that private equity
has bought this thing. And at Pea's job is to
lay off as many people as possible and see if
we can, you know, and then we'll hire somebody act
(29:00):
if we have to. But let's just see if y'all
can survive, you know, with fewer people, y'all handle it.
We'll make the money. But uh, this guy right here,
we uh he'll be the last one left, right, We'll
be left with one disabled dude in the company that
can't do anything. But we cannot lay this dude off,
do y'all, we cannot lay this guy. Can you imagine
that that puts a lot of pressure. Hey, Tommy, I
(29:22):
know you've been late for thirty seven straight days, but
just keep doing what you're doing, doing a great job.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I'm not sure what your question.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Was, Like, I lost the plot somewhere.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
You did, but we were talking about something entirely different.
And it's a show when you have that right to
do it part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
What were we talking about? Because I thought you called
it said that you used to be an airline stewardess.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I was a strue Yes, yes, and international airline stewardous
And you were talking about countries and yes, right, and
I have I was. I went to Yugoslavia once, which
doesn't really exist anymore because it's been broken up and
(30:20):
so on. And that's the reason why I called to
talk about that. Uh, I'm not that I'm not enjoying
this call. That's why.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Look, Laura, you're getting a rousing applause, unanimous applause from
our entire audience right now, because people out there are going, hey,
come here and listen, this woman is finally somebody's telling
him get back to the point we were talking about,
because that drives people crazy. Did you enjoy.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
I'm sorry say that again.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I should enjoy Yugoslavia.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
It Uh, yes, I have to say, uh. I'm grateful
that I went. Enjoy. Yes, up to a point. We
weren't there very long. I worked for what was called
a supplemental airline. We did affinity charters, MAC flights, military flights,
(31:12):
and so it was most all international. Basically only time
we were in the States was to pick people up
and drop them off, and it was true affinity groups
back then. This is in the nineteen seventies. So in
Yugoslavia we spent some time. I can't listen, I've forgotten
(31:33):
a lot, but we brought a group over. I don't
exactly know why. We didn't stay overnight, but we stayed
at the airport while they serviced our aircraft, and we
talked to the younger people at the airport that worked there,
and they were just thrilled. You know, the first American
(31:54):
big jumbo jet that came in it was a DC eight.
To them, that was a jumbo jet, and so they
had questions and questions, and you know, said, well, what
are you guys going to do? You know this is
a summer job, what is it? And one of the gentlemen, younger,
younger guys said, uh, I'm going to university. And I said, oh, okay,
(32:16):
what are you going to do? I said to the
other man, he says, I'm not allowed to. I said,
what do you mean? He said, well, the government won't
let me. They only pick certain people. And I said,
how do you get picked? Depends on the influencer family has.
We are so grateful to be here and don't have
(32:37):
to do that. So I said, I truly I spoke
with you one other time, but I am truly blessed
that I had that opportunity to travel the world. We
did military flights. My last trip was over to the Philippines.
You've got me, started talking him. I love it.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I love it sweet. I am up against a break.
But you called back. Now, you call back, As we
say to our teenage boys, you know, you have to
reach out to us on occasion. It's a proof of life.
You call back anytime you want, even if it's just
to finish a story or to tell me I strayed too.
Far folks, fellas, be your best self today, make her
(33:19):
feel like a princess today, And ladies, how about we
not measure whether or not he was as great a
prince as he could have been, and we be grateful
for what he does do. We started the show with
the priest saying a perfect marriage is an imperfect husband
and an imperfect wife refusing to give up on each other.
(33:40):
How about we look for the best in each other
today and not worry about where they fall short. A
wonderful Valentine's Day. Send me an email if you need
help with anything
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Got need.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Tammy writes from Valentine's Day. My husband ordered me two
boxes of cookies that you recommended as the best in
the world. Of course they're going to be here late,
but for those two boxes, the price tag was a
whopping ninety dollars. They better be great. I'm a baker.
You know how much flour I could buy with ninety dollars. Well,
as usual, what I said was not carefully considered. I
(02:34):
didn't say that the best cookies in the world. I
just happened to particularly like the fact that they're not
thick cookies. I'm not a crumble guy. You crumble guy,
Yeah you are. I don't like big, thick, crumble cookies
because afterwards I feel like I need to take a nap.
And the thing about the Missus Haynes Moravian cookies is
(02:58):
that they're so thin, and so you have one, you know,
theoretically you could just walk by and you know, you
pull it out of the ten and you drop one
on your you know, it's almost like a drop you know,
the allergy drops or something. It's almost like this little
drop you'd put on your on your tongue. It melts,
(03:21):
and theoretically you would eat one of those and that
would satiate your uh, your your desire for something sweet,
and you'd move on down the road and everything would
be fine. But it doesn't work like that because you
end up eating sixty one of them, and that's just
the way it is. But anyway, you'll you'll enjoy it anyway.
(03:45):
Saying the word say shape made me think about something.
I get emails every day and I usually just block
the person because I figure, if you're that kind of person,
I really don't need to hear from you. And people
don't understand what it means to do. You know, if
you if you're a mechanic, you know now you can
walk up under the car. But when my uncle started
you you'd they'd jack it up and then you'd roll
(04:07):
under in the you know, the two pieces of wood
with the tool on the other side, and maybe if
you're lucky, they have a little carpet over it to
soften it in some wheels. And when he was up
under that car, if you came out and asked him
a question, and you asked him another one in five minutes.
You better bundle the questions because he'll come up out
of there. But we're not doing it every you know,
I got to remember where I am. You know how
(04:28):
many screws I've taken out of this thing and nuts
and bolts I've pulled off of this damn thing, And
so you just didn't do it lightly. Well, so you
understand that that guy is doing. I'm not up under
a car, so you can come ask me a question anytime,
because I'm not up under a car with oil leaking out.
I got this one little task and something in my hand.
(04:49):
So you're mindful when you talk to him of what
situation he's in. Well, when you I'm an idiot for
reading all my emails, but I enjoy it. The problem
is some people can't underst that because they fire up
their Pewter and send an email which takes them twenty
minutes to write, and the next day they fire it
back up and see if the person has responded to it. Well,
(05:09):
for me, when you've got all these emails coming in
and you try very hard and at this point I'm
still able to do it, which is why I tell people,
don't send me more than one to day. You read
an email, So you imagine doing five hours of ready
a day, reading every email, trying to produce good content,
trying to get results for your sponsors, trying to hear
in there. Get a guy a meal because it's his
(05:30):
forty third it's his last day of working as a
deputy constable and he's retiring after forty three years. So
at that point you're kind of hitting on all cylinders,
you know. I mean, you sort of Tom Brady in
the pocket thirty seconds left and they got a full
on blitz. So it's not that you're better than anybody else,
it's you know what, I can't stop right now and
listen to you. I need to get rid of this ball.
(05:52):
And there are a certain number of people who can't
help themselves who'll go Well, technically, you said the guy
with sixty eight, and I looked up the story. Technically
he was sixty seven, And I think to myself, what's
going through your head at that moment? Are you thinking
to yourself? Wait? Wait, you were not one hundred percent.
I got an email yesterday. I was talking about the
(06:14):
RFK Junior nomination passing, and when he got to fifty votes,
it was fifty to forty seven, let's say, and Ramon said,
we don't have to worry. We got the tie breaking vote,
JD Vance's tie breaking vote. We don't have to worry
fifty clinches, we don't need fifty one. And I made
that statement on the air, and I get an email
(06:37):
from a guy who says JD. Vance out of town,
and I said, yeah, but they had a commitment for
the fifty first, so he left with a full on commitment,
knowing he wouldn't have to rush back. So that's how
they did it. But you didn't say that. You didn't
say it was out of the country. I know, But
the point is he was confirmed, and at that point
he was confirmed, but you didn't say it. You didn't
(06:57):
say that. You didn't say it out of the county.
He's out the county, he's out the country, and its
out of the county. Do you know it's out of
the country. And I'm thinking to myself, it's really important
to you that what I stated was absolutely one hundred
percent correct at that moment, and that I speak in
parentheticals for everything I say. You know that wall is white.
Well it's not actually white, it's actually egg. It's a
(07:19):
you know whatever, stupid various colors they have, and I thought,
you know, that's what the block button is for. But
it also made me think to myself, imagine how many
people are going through life looking around. Teddy Roosevelt has
a line, it's not how the strong man stumbles. Imagine
how many people are going or walking around. And these
(07:42):
are our listeners, right, so this just didn't They're walking
around looking for some way that someone else is falling
short of what they've decided is perfection and focusing on that.
That's the person who is not going to be happy.
(08:04):
That's the person for whom I'm constantly saying, Hey, guys,
if you tell me you're mad all day long right
now with Trump, then you're never gonna be happy. You're
just looking for a reason to be unhappy. And and
that I have to say, instead of making me mad,
(08:24):
it makes me sad. I used to do aerobics till
I dropped. Then I found you, Michael, I.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Recommend that you, cupid, dump back your good.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Let's oh, I didn't forget to make this sound.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Effect speak to my love's heart, or.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Did I speak over. Start that's perfect, and let your
Arab straight too, But you start at the beginning if
it's none of the very beginning, because I need to
get the full stature. What a beautiful arrangement.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You're simple, Cupid, draw back your goal and let your
Arab bowl spek to my lover's.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Heart for me.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
For me, Cupid, please hear my cry and let your
Arab flies straight to my lover's heart for me.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress.
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
For I love the girl doesn't know I exist.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And unless you can fix s cubid too, back your
pool math, let your arrowool straight to my lover's heart
for me, Lord body, would me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You bed, please hear my cry? Let your arrow flies straight.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
My love was hot for me.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Now you bid if the arrow make a lust of
with me. Our old friend Jim Gaffigan and one of
my favorite bits on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Valentine's Day, the tradition is we give each other those
big red hearts filled with the gamble chocolate. Have you
eating any chocolate of those big red hearts with any confidence?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
This could either be really good.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Or totally nasty, and I'm just pick enough to find out.
I got the one filled with toothpaste.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
I'm don't have to eat another nine to get rid
of that flavor. There's the big redhearts filled with the
gamble chalk, one of the tiny chalk heart shaped and acids.
I know I make you nauseous. Here's a tombs with
(11:27):
hug me written on it.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Neib that'll help.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Chris sits right expressions of love two or three times
a week. I'll take the handkerchief from my pocket and
wipe the camera lens above the license plate on my
wife's car. Don't want her to see any smudges when
she puts the car in reverse. This is something that
(11:56):
she will never know. That's love. Love is doing something
for which you don't get any kudos. You just do
it because you want good things for that person. A
little life advice, you know what, Let me let a
(12:17):
woman lecture you off first, and then I'll give it.
This one is from Katie any urgent message for men urgent.
She says, anyone who has a wife out there, or
girlfriend or fiance, this is the key to a happy relationship.
It's very simple. Just listen to what she says and
take it seriously. Now you hear that and you're like, okay, yeah,
(12:40):
that doesn't sound too bad. But wait quick, coming home
from work and jumping on the game or whatever it
is you may do, that's a distraction from the real work.
I'm tired. It's okay to have time to unwind. But
in moderation. Wait, what once you form a habit of comfort,
(13:05):
you were leaving your spouse in the relationship alone? Well, well,
I was the one got up at five o'clock to
drive an hour and fifteen minutes to the plant, and
so that we could live in a neighborhood with decent
schools and you wouldn't get raped and our kids wouldn't
(13:25):
get mugged at school. And I kind of feel like
I was in that part of the relationship alone. You know,
hour and fifteen minutes there, hour and fifteen minutes back.
Y'all were all asleep. But okay, I don't want you
to feel alone when I get home at the end
of a day where I'm beat to hell and I
want to put my feet up and crack a coal.
One that distance will grow and it becomes harder and
(13:48):
harder for the woman to become connected in a sexual
way when she feels a distance. Oh wait, hold on,
so now, so now wait what? Yes, No, I have
a headache. You've had a headache for sixty seven straight
damn days. Okay, I don't have a headache. It's just
(14:10):
that you get up real early and drive an hour
and a half to work traffic this morning, and drive
an hour and a half back and you get home
at the end of all that, and your back hurts
and your head hurts and all that, and you want
to drink a cold beer and you're late for the
beginning of the game that you've been dying to see,
and you sit on the couch and I want to
go in there and tell you about Wendy and how
(14:33):
she didn't even ask me. The moms were painting the
windows of the team, the football team for Friday night,
and she didn't even ask me to come and help
paint the windows. And we have a junior too, and
I don't feel like that's right, and I'm mad at Wendy.
So I told Susie, and Susie said, well, I'll tell Letitia,
(14:53):
And Letitia said she would tell, but she ended up
telling Wendy, And now Wendy's saying that I'm being a
baby about it, and I'm thinking to myself, you know,
I just want to drink of cold beer. Be left
the hell alone tonight or tomorrow. Be spontaneous and tell
your wife or whoever may come on, we're going to eat,
(15:13):
and take her to eat, and you pick the place.
Follow this advice, and you will be sure to have
a happy life and a happy wife. Dear God, you
will be These are gods. You know what this is
right here? That's a recipe for alcoholism. I've seen this happen.
I've seen this happen more times than I can tell you.
A fellow that just takes a beating all day and
(15:37):
comes home and takes a beating all night. You know,
you guys will say happy wife, happy life, and all
that sort of stuff, and they'll say, you know, just
whatever my wife tells me to do, that is not happiness.
I don't believe that's happiness. And I don't happen to
believe that's good. And you know what I think. I
(15:59):
don't think women and that's sexy. You know, when you
meet your wife, when you meet the girl you end
up marry You don't go up and go uh, I'm
a pathetic puddle of water. Just pour me down the
drain or splash me against the wall, or leave and
come back, and I'll still be sitting here and she says,
Oh my god, I love you. You just do whatever
(16:21):
I say whenever I say to do it, And that's
wonderful and that's great. I don't think women find that
sexy at all. I don't think they find it attractive.
I don't think they respect it. At the end of
the day, I think women want men to be men
and men want women to be women. I do. I
think women want a man to be a man. I
think there's a certain intrigue for women if we are not.
(16:45):
You know, fellas need to be able to go to
poker night, or they need to be able to fly
out to Vegas with their buddies or go on a
hunting trip, and women something that strange.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I care.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I've got an emailed by Lubosh. It's one of our
favorite emails. He's called a show before. He's from somewhere
in eastern Europe. It's one of those places you'll never go,
like where I've been in Eastern Europe, and I like
to think of myself as somebody who loves to travel
(17:34):
and has traveled to Fairmount. I've been to Romania, I've
been to Croatia, I've been to Czech Republic. What I've
never been to Bulgaria. But lubash is from one of
the places I've never been. So Milania is from Slovenia.
(17:55):
But I'm just thinking about the fact of how many
places there are with a bunch of white people that
we know nothing about. Right, So I will list a
country and you tell me first thing that comes out
of your mouth, and then if there's another thing that
goes with it, all right, Paris or France? Sorry Parisians?
(18:20):
Did you just say Parisians, Eiffel Tower, cheese, wine? Okay?
England or UK Germany? What crowd? Okay? Yeah, now I'll
do one. How about this Poland? Hitler? Oh, Hitler. But
my point is that's not the Polish people, right. It's
(18:42):
just amazing to me that there are parts of the
world that have lots and lots of people and pretty
awesome culture and you don't really know much about Belarus.
Tell me one thing you know about the Belarusians. Nothing Lithuania.
(19:05):
Are you saying Azerbaijan to the response to Lithuania or
did you just pull something out of your ass like
my brother used to do. I could not have this
conversation with my brother because he would just start pulling
out crazy stuff. Kazakh Stean. No, I'm asking you to
name one thing about the countries, and you're just throwing
random stuff out. You have no idea where that is?
(19:26):
What do you think about that? Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania.
I met one Albanian in my life, and I ask people,
I'm a guy. I mean, I'm weird. I walk around
and randomly out, hey, where are you from? You got
cool accent? Where are you from? Nobody does that? And
(19:49):
I've only met one Albanian and the only reason I
met him is he owned a place called Bubba's Barbecue
in downtown Houston, and he had it all read knecked out.
You know, after nine Helen gas station owners would put
flags into how we love America. They do all this,
they let go rule. So he went this guy went redneck, redneck,
(20:11):
redneck barb No, it was terrible barbecue. But I'm just
looking on a map here at countries that we know
nothing about. Slovenia, as we mentioned, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Macedonia.
Half the weight staff in Colorado right now because of
(20:34):
this visa deal they got going on, are seasonal workers
from Macedonia. It's just Macedonians everywhere. Russia just grabbed up
all these places and nobody cared, and nobody saw them again.
Nobody ever saw those people ever again. Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan.
(20:57):
I had a classmate in England from Kazakhstan, and we
decided that we would ask him questions about Kazakhstan. But
we had no basis upon which to even begin asking
him questions, so we kind of lost interest in His
English wasn't very good. But we thought it was going
to be a hoot. We're gonna ask him a bunch
of questions about kazak We gon quiz him about Kazakhstan,
(21:18):
but we didn't even know where to start. Like, Okay,
y'all are kind of off the southeastern border of Russia. Huh, yes,
this is true. Okay, Well, are y'all the ones that
get on a horse and take a homemade polo stick
and put a goat head in there and bang it
(21:39):
up and down there like they've done for two thousand years. No,
this is neighbor. Oh okay, well that's all I got.
I really don't. I can't really, And this started, this
was a good concept, But really I don't know anything
else about you. That's that's all I got. Laura la
u r A if you're wondering, because people always want
(22:01):
is it Laura la ra? Or is it Laura la
u are a? Laura? You're up?
Speaker 5 (22:07):
You spelled it correctly. Named after my grandmother, who was Italian.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Was she from New Orleans too?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
No? Unfortunately not Unfortunately, she was from Sicily Are you
from New Orleans? No, sir, where are you from? From Brooklyn?
But I've been here. Yeah, I've been here forty five years,
so I'm almost a Texan? But you do.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's the same accent, right, is it? Yeahs linguists have
traced the thick New Orleans accent as originating from Brooklyn.
Has all the same patterns. But anyway, I like the
way you talk. How old are you? Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
What?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
I will be seventy five this year?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You sent them adorable?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Oh aren't too sweet? I needed that today? Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Well, nothing else is going on today. You know, when
you get to be my age, you don't do as much.
And I'm not complaining, I'm just stating in fact, So,
in any case.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Where do you live.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
In Spring? Texas?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know, I was wondering which spring, but you threw
the Texas in and now I got it. You know, Laura,
I have thought about because I thought about doing old
people date night, but I think that's just too much pressure.
People have anxiety. And what's going to happen is all
the women are going to want to do it because
at that age, they're all eager. Right, it's a flip
of when you're a teenager. But you're gonna have a bunch.
(23:46):
I'm gonna have a bunch of sixty year old women
trying to take their dad on this thing. Oh my god,
that are you know, Archie Bunker kind of. But I
think it would be nice to have a meet up
and we could do a rotating meetup and our old people.
You have to be a certain age. You would barely
I mean, you really don't qualify at seventy five, but
we'd make an exception for you. You could maybe be the
event coordinator, because you got a lot of spunk to you.
(24:09):
But I thought it'd be fun and do it as
a daytime deal. And have you know Dominoes over there
and majiong over there and Bingo over there. Wouldn't that
be fun?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Oh my goodness, you're an activities director if nothing else.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
No, I'm a social animal, as we all are. And
I find you know that my wife reads about these
blue zones and the Mediterranean people, and one of the
things they find that people who live a long life
it is less related to what they eat than how
much they socialize. And happiness and longevity is related to
(24:45):
laughing and enjoying the people you're around and having social groups.
And I noticed that people in their eighties and above
who enjoy their time, it's because they go to a thing.
My trainer, Petru, his famous line is that the older
people he come is that that they say, you're a
breath of fresh air coming to our home. People need
(25:06):
to socialize. Hold online. That's how I found my first
ten wives.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's so fidy, Laura, Yes, are you ready for a
doozy of an email?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
An email?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, listen to this? You ready? Oh?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Okay? Thinking you were going to send me one.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, no, I send you when we're done. This is
from a woman named Jill Coffin. Okay, okay, he says zar.
Forty years ago, I met a man, fell in love,
got pregnant, engaged, and moved to Arizona with him. So far,
so good, right, I guess, Lauren, what was wrong with
(26:03):
the story till that point.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Well, a story when it's told that way, there is
going to be a punchline. But you do it well,
so continue.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But I said, so far, so good, So I needed
you to go absolutely, yeah, all right, okay, we're moving along. Yes,
I agree. I'm with you. I'm putting up with your
I'm picking up what you're putting in. When I was
five months pregnant, we split up, never married. After five years,
I moved back to Texas and we spent our son's
first eighteen years fighting over custody and support. We pretty
(26:35):
much hated each other. Long story short. When our son
was twenty seven, he was in a horrific oil filled
accident in West Texas. I lived in the same area
and was able to get to the hospital within twenty minutes.
I called his dad and he was at the hospital
within twenty four hours. We spent the next three months
in a Dallas hospital with our son and spent many
hours talking in waiting rooms. Then, when our son was
(26:58):
at a good point in his recovery, we both left
and went back to our lives. Over the next three years,
we would see each other on occasion as we would
take turns being with our son. As he continued to
have surgeries. We became friends decided to start dating long distance.
Three years later we were married. What we learned, by
(27:19):
the grace of God was to forgive, find the good
in each other, and live with Christ as a center
of our marriage. I've never known there could be such
a deep spiritual love. We're celebrating our tenth anniversary this
year and love each other beyond measure, praising God for
all the good and bad we both went through to
get to this point. Ps. Our son is back working
(27:41):
for the same oil filled company. He's disabled, but he
loves the Lord, carries no bitterness, and lives a blessed
life with his two sons. God is good all the time.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Very nice story, Laura.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I want you to imagine for a moment that you
are this guy's boss that the kid who, at twenty
seven was in a bad accident horrific. She described it horrific.
That means we got stuff mangled and mashed and amputated
and won't ever work again. I mean you horrific is yeah,
(28:17):
Well you get the point right. It's a very expressive word.
And he comes back disabled, okay, which means he didn't
sue the company. He comes back disabled and works for
the company. And two years later it's time for layoffs
and his name is on the layoff list. How do
(28:38):
you think you look at that name? Hey, guys, could
y'all come down here for a minute. Y'all want to
lay off Tommy Smith? I got at your bane or
Mackenzie or who I got it that that private equity
has bought this thing. And at Pea's job is to
lay off as many people as possible and see if
we can, you know, and then we'll hire somebody act
(29:00):
if we have to. But let's just see if y'all
can survive, you know, with fewer people, y'all handle it.
We'll make the money. But uh, this guy right here,
we uh he'll be the last one left, right, We'll
be left with one disabled dude in the company that
can't do anything. But we cannot lay this dude off,
do y'all, we cannot lay this guy. Can you imagine
that that puts a lot of pressure. Hey, Tommy, I
(29:22):
know you've been late for thirty seven straight days, but
just keep doing what you're doing, doing a great job.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I'm not sure what your question.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Was, Like, I lost the plot somewhere.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
You did, but we were talking about something entirely different.
And it's a show when you have that right to
do it part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
What were we talking about? Because I thought you called
it said that you used to be an airline stewardess.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I was a strue Yes, yes, and international airline stewardous
And you were talking about countries and yes, right, and
I have I was. I went to Yugoslavia once, which
doesn't really exist anymore because it's been broken up and
(30:20):
so on. And that's the reason why I called to
talk about that. Uh, I'm not that I'm not enjoying
this call. That's why.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Look, Laura, you're getting a rousing applause, unanimous applause from
our entire audience right now, because people out there are going, hey,
come here and listen, this woman is finally somebody's telling
him get back to the point we were talking about,
because that drives people crazy. Did you enjoy.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
I'm sorry say that again.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I should enjoy Yugoslavia.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
It Uh, yes, I have to say, uh. I'm grateful
that I went. Enjoy. Yes, up to a point. We
weren't there very long. I worked for what was called
a supplemental airline. We did affinity charters, MAC flights, military flights,
(31:12):
and so it was most all international. Basically only time
we were in the States was to pick people up
and drop them off, and it was true affinity groups
back then. This is in the nineteen seventies. So in
Yugoslavia we spent some time. I can't listen, I've forgotten
(31:33):
a lot, but we brought a group over. I don't
exactly know why. We didn't stay overnight, but we stayed
at the airport while they serviced our aircraft, and we
talked to the younger people at the airport that worked there,
and they were just thrilled. You know, the first American
(31:54):
big jumbo jet that came in it was a DC eight.
To them, that was a jumbo jet, and so they
had questions and questions, and you know, said, well, what
are you guys going to do? You know this is
a summer job, what is it? And one of the gentlemen, younger,
younger guys said, uh, I'm going to university. And I said, oh, okay,
(32:16):
what are you going to do? I said to the
other man, he says, I'm not allowed to. I said,
what do you mean? He said, well, the government won't
let me. They only pick certain people. And I said,
how do you get picked? Depends on the influencer family has.
We are so grateful to be here and don't have
(32:37):
to do that. So I said, I truly I spoke
with you one other time, but I am truly blessed
that I had that opportunity to travel the world. We
did military flights. My last trip was over to the Philippines.
You've got me, started talking him. I love it.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I love it sweet. I am up against a break.
But you called back. Now, you call back, As we
say to our teenage boys, you know, you have to
reach out to us on occasion. It's a proof of life.
You call back anytime you want, even if it's just
to finish a story or to tell me I strayed too.
Far folks, fellas, be your best self today, make her
(33:19):
feel like a princess today, And ladies, how about we
not measure whether or not he was as great a
prince as he could have been, and we be grateful
for what he does do. We started the show with
the priest saying a perfect marriage is an imperfect husband
and an imperfect wife refusing to give up on each other.
(33:40):
How about we look for the best in each other
today and not worry about where they fall short. A
wonderful Valentine's Day. Send me an email if you need
help with anything
