You mentioned those true crime podcasts. I've got a buddy
whose wife falls asleep listening to him. Oh, and you
know she'll play them out loud unless he's like, hey,
put headphones on.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
So every now and then, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But most nights he because she falls asleep listening to
some murder true crime podcast. It means he falls asleep
listening to And I've asked him many many times, like
how do you seep while you're hearing the story of
someone getting chopped into five hundred pieces or whatever?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
It is? Like, I don't sleep. I don't sleep well
these days.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Brother's not she's taken notes. You gotta watch for that,
you know question.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'm like, does it not concern you at all that
you're about to fall asleep for six to eight hours
where you have no idea what she's actually doing, uh
while you're asleep?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
No? No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That that I don't like that Jamie and Alex have watched.
Uh it was one on TV they were watching, and
they watched those Lifetime movies and that always uh there
are always somebody killing somebody or sleeping with the kid
at the school or whatever.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It was always always was. I had a my plumber.
I think I told you this. My plumber was an
actor and was in one of those he was in
he was plumbing my rental houses I was building, and
uh he called me and he said, hey, I can't
be there tomorrow. I'm on a I got a uh
uh uh what was the Chuck Norris bounty Hunter. Well,
(02:52):
he they filmed Walker, Texas Ranger and dripping springs are
part of it here, you know, in Lockhart and every places.
But they did the rodeo stuff here. They rented the
rodeo arena from a friend of mine. And uh so,
he he was a cowboy. He could do cowboy stuff.
So he called me and he said, hey, man, I
caught a He's good luck a guy by the way
for a plumber. He was a great looking guy.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I mean he was I keep remembering he's a plumber.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But yeah, but he was you know, his dad was
a plumber. So he ended up having to do it,
and that's how I ate. But he also he was
a handsome guy, could be an actor, and I never
I don't know if he could act or not. I
never saw him, but he had landed a Walker Texas Ranger.
I can't finish the house this week. I met Walker
Texas Ranger. So then the next week he called me
in and he said, hey, I did good last week.
(03:36):
They give me another I'm in. He's playing a bad
guy and he said, I'm I'm another bad guy this
week at the Walker Texas Ranger. And I'm like, okay,
and he's kind of holding the job up a little bit,
not terrible, but you know, I want to be the guy.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, yeah, important?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And uh, it's that next day. Next week he called
and he said, well, I got killed Friday, so I'm
gonna be in. I said, well, come over here and
act like a goddamn plumber and finishing my house this week.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
You're gonna act.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So then he called that he was nearly done. He
had like some final stuff he had to do, and
he called in. He said, I've landed a lifetime movie
and uh, and I said, well, what do you play.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
A lifetime, but a life a role in a lifetime movie.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, he's he's And I said, well, what are you playing?
He says, I'm playing the ex husband. And I said, oh, okay,
and then he like he showed up the next day
and he goes, yeah, the ex husband didn't live hey long,
first five minutes I'm dead.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Probably probably a shorter lifespan than the bad I would guess.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah. So I asked him, I said, is this something
you're going to try to pursue? And he said he
was young enough. He wasn't forty yet, he was still
in his late thirties. He said, I'm gonna move to
Atlanta because apparently in Atlanta they were filming a lot
of movies at the time. And he said, I got
a you know, I got out of a lady, and
I'm gonna go to Atlanta and try to you know,
(05:02):
and try to become an actor, you know. And I
mean this guy had like Brad Pitt looks. I'm not kidding,
and he was a great looking guy and and uh
so he was, you know, and it was a pretty
good plumber. Actually did a good job on the plumbing.
We didn't have any issues there. But I always thought
that was funny that he he said, now I did
good and then next week I'm dead. They killed me.
(05:23):
Uh speaking of TV. Uh, Netflix is gonna do a
reboot of Little House on the Prairie. So if you
were a big Little House fan, a lot of people
are right, you know, I was a little old for
that myself, but you you would be too young for that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I think, yeah, it was one of those deals where
it was It was on a lot of times in
my house because it was something that my parents would
feel okay about, you know, putting on when we were
young kids. But yeah, yeah, I think it was that
was more of you know, my algia for that kind
of surprising. They haven't done any kind of remakes until
(06:03):
now though, because it was I mean everyone, whether it
was or not, it was huge.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Michael Landon man, he was little you know of course
little Joe for me from Bonanza. But the uh anyway,
they got Luke Bradley, I have no idea who that is.
And Alice Halsey or the two stars, and I don't
know either one of them. Uh now, now this will
fit in your deal the big the Big Bang theory.
They're doing a uh they're doing a I guess a
(06:30):
part two that uh they're gonna have Uh Stuart fails
to save the universe. So it's a another basically Big
Bang theory under under that name. They said they'll see
g I a lot of it, uh and basically hopefully
that's Penny and a bikini. You know, if you're gonna
you're gonna, if you're gonna get some viewers, that's that's
(06:52):
gonna bring the Obama to the to the show.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I can promise you the ratings.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I think that would probably be about the only thing
that would me to watch thirty seconds of that. I
that's one of those shows where so many people in
my life that know me what like aunt pulls, parents,
brother like close friends, childhood friends. So many people have
told me, man, you would love that show. Every time
(07:19):
I've turned it on, I can handle about thirty seconds
of it, and then I'm I instantly turned out, like.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's too it's too like sitcomy too.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, that's like it doesn't feel it feels like an
old seventies style sitcom and that it just doesn't hold
my attention too much.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Other than other than Penny, Yeah, yeah, she holds me
cgi bikini and it's funny. I wonder, I wonder if
they had that show without her, Well, they wouldn't have
that show without her. I guess it would have went
one season. And then.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I saw this.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
This is kind of a downer. I really feel. I
didn't even say this, but Tornado Alley has now been changed.
They it's no longer uh uh Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas
and Nebraska. It's now Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky. They say
that's where more tornadoes are destined to hit. I don't know,
but I don't like that, you know, for them. But well, hell,
glad Texas is coming off the list.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You know last week where there was the one over
by all, I mean there.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Was down there was two in Wimberley that really didn't
damage a whole lot of stuff. They were, you know,
but they said there was two there. I didn't see
or hear about any real damage because they were kind
of out in the country.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
But uh uh, we've had.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Seventy five mile in our winds up there. Took my
fence down toward my neighbor's house completely apart, and they
thought that was a little twister. But uh, anyway, I
feel sorry for anybody that's I've seen one in my
life up close.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I was.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I was selling drill bits and uh in the West Texas.
I was in the hole and gas business, selling these
drill bits, and I was out by Mentone, between Mentone
and Kermit, Texas. And so I'm coming back. And just
to give you an idea of Mentone is the only
town in Loving County, which is the least popular, least
populated county.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
In the US.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So there's like thirty people there. So then I'm I'm
almost to Kermit. I get to Kermit. All I have
is an AM radio in my truck. I go through
Kermit and I'm on the other side of Kermit, headed
to Odessa. And so the next town is a town
called No Trees, And so I'm headed to the cap
Rock where Nur Trees is and I'm listening to curb
Country and the guy goes, he goes, we got a
(09:36):
twister on the ground about ten minutes east to Kermit.
And I'm driving along here. You know, I hadn't seen
a car by myself on two lane road, and I go,
you know, I'm I'm ten minutes east to Kermit, and
it's all shiny and I mean, I'm and I'm you know,
driving along and I'm looking. I look over to the left,
I don't see anything, and I look to the right,
(09:57):
and holy shit, there's a tornado like from the movie
coming coming up on me. And I go, good guy.
So I stomped this Ford f one fifty this loaded
with drill bits, so about eighty is about all I
can get out of her. And I'm losing ground and
a highway patrol goes by me. He passes me once again.
(10:18):
Two lane road. He passes. He's one of those Mustangs,
remember the little Mustang troll car. He goes by me,
and he's waving like, come on, go on, and I go,
don't leave me, use.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Some of it, you serve and protect.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, that's stolid. Shoot this thing or I should do something.
And in that mustang and he went past and left me.
But anyway, I somehow out ran it. And when I
got to the top of the cap rock, I was
you know, it dissipated that, but it's enough to make
you go as it was getting bigger and bigger, so
it was coming after me. You know, that was a
(10:54):
crazy That was just crazy. That's scary, I'm telling you
it's very scary, I.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Mean, growing up and it fills like it doesn't surprise
me that they moved further east because growing up in
North Texas, it was a pretty regular occurrence to have,
I mean in my life, in my childhood up there,
there was the one that blew through downtown.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Dallas, the high rises.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
There's a city street in my hometown that is technically
it's Herford Street, but all the locals call it Cyclone
Street because tomato went right down, right down the street,
stayed on the street, and it was kind of a
downhill part of the city. So, you know, my hometown's
down in the bottom of a valley until it came
(11:41):
straight down the down.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
The road into the bottom of the city. Small town
up there.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Uh, but it just felt like, you know, we were
on a scout trip in Bridgeport, uh, further North Texas
and out on Bridgeport Lake, and there was a tornado
out there when we were camping.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It felt like it was well held. The roommate and
I my wife.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
When last time we were up there in Dallas, a
couple of uh went to a MAVs game and had
to stop under an overpass and cedar Dallas a tornado.
And it was a tornado that literally blue cars off
of the overpass down onto the highways. Like yeah, like
I that was the first one from you know, back
(12:29):
where I'm that I had heard about in a long time.
But growing up it felt like they were way more regular. Yeah,
that childhood memory.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
But that's scary, my buddy, my old partner bow and
this is a good in the end on a partner bow.
He worked at KMOD in Tulsa, and he said, I
was on the way into the station and he said,
we had a guy on their young guy and there
was a tornado. And he went on the radio, it's
(12:57):
hid hid the security hole, granny, there's a suckout coming.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Look.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I can laugh at that because I've been told many
times in my life run to the cellar.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I cannot laugh at that because that is my culture,
that is my heritage.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The security hole. There's a suckout coming that that. That's
a classic line right here. And I mean he was serious.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
He was being serious.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
He wasn't trying to be funny. He's telling his grandma,
who was listening, getting a hold, there's a suck out coming.
All right, speaking of suck out coming, we'll be back
tomorrow Right Our podcast,

Speaker 3 (08:54):
I was.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I was selling drill bits and uh in the West Texas.
I was in the hole and gas business, selling these
drill bits, and I was out by Mentone, between Mentone
and Kermit, Texas. And so I'm coming back. And just
to give you an idea of Mentone is the only
town in Loving County, which is the least popular, least
populated county.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
In the US.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So there's like thirty people there. So then I'm I'm
almost to Kermit. I get to Kermit. All I have
is an AM radio in my truck. I go through
Kermit and I'm on the other side of Kermit, headed
to Odessa. And so the next town is a town
called No Trees, And so I'm headed to the cap
Rock where Nur Trees is and I'm listening to curb
Country and the guy goes, he goes, we got a
(09:36):
twister on the ground about ten minutes east to Kermit.
And I'm driving along here. You know, I hadn't seen
a car by myself on two lane road, and I go,
you know, I'm I'm ten minutes east to Kermit, and
it's all shiny and I mean, I'm and I'm you know,
driving along and I'm looking. I look over to the left,
I don't see anything, and I look to the right,
(09:57):
and holy shit, there's a tornado like from the movie
coming coming up on me. And I go, good guy.
So I stomped this Ford f one fifty this loaded
with drill bits, so about eighty is about all I
can get out of her. And I'm losing ground and
a highway patrol goes by me. He passes me once again.
(10:18):
Two lane road. He passes. He's one of those Mustangs,
remember the little Mustang troll car. He goes by me,
and he's waving like, come on, go on, and I go,
don't leave me, use.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Some of it, you serve and protect.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, that's stolid. Shoot this thing or I should do something.
And in that mustang and he went past and left me.
But anyway, I somehow out ran it. And when I
got to the top of the cap rock, I was
you know, it dissipated that, but it's enough to make
you go as it was getting bigger and bigger, so
it was coming after me. You know, that was a
(10:54):
crazy That was just crazy. That's scary, I'm telling you
it's very scary, I.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Mean, growing up and it fills like it doesn't surprise
me that they moved further east because growing up in
North Texas, it was a pretty regular occurrence to have,
I mean in my life, in my childhood up there,
there was the one that blew through downtown.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Dallas, the high rises.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
There's a city street in my hometown that is technically
it's Herford Street, but all the locals call it Cyclone
Street because tomato went right down, right down the street,
stayed on the street, and it was kind of a
downhill part of the city. So, you know, my hometown's
down in the bottom of a valley until it came
(11:41):
straight down the down.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
The road into the bottom of the city. Small town
up there.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Uh, but it just felt like, you know, we were
on a scout trip in Bridgeport, uh, further North Texas
and out on Bridgeport Lake, and there was a tornado
out there when we were camping.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It felt like it was well held. The roommate and
I my wife.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
When last time we were up there in Dallas, a
couple of uh went to a MAVs game and had
to stop under an overpass and cedar Dallas a tornado.
And it was a tornado that literally blue cars off
of the overpass down onto the highways. Like yeah, like
I that was the first one from you know, back
(12:29):
where I'm that I had heard about in a long time.
But growing up it felt like they were way more regular. Yeah,
that childhood memory.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
But that's scary, my buddy, my old partner bow and
this is a good in the end on a partner bow.
He worked at KMOD in Tulsa, and he said, I
was on the way into the station and he said,
we had a guy on their young guy and there
was a tornado. And he went on the radio, it's
(12:57):
hid hid the security hole, granny, there's a suckout coming.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Look.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I can laugh at that because I've been told many
times in my life run to the cellar.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I cannot laugh at that because that is my culture,
that is my heritage.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The security hole. There's a suckout coming that that. That's
a classic line right here. And I mean he was serious.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
He was being serious.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
He wasn't trying to be funny. He's telling his grandma,
who was listening, getting a hold, there's a suck out coming.
All right, speaking of suck out coming, we'll be back
tomorrow Right Our podcast,
