Speaker 1 (00:00):
Smoking was allowed in the locker room at Moody High
School following their first five A state championship victory, and
people are not well, I should say everybody, but there's
a lot of people who are not excited about it
because these pictures. Of course, in this day of social media,
everybody's got a phone, everyone's got a camera, and they
all took pictures of it and posted it, and those
pictures made their way around and now people are concerned
(00:21):
because there was smoking in the locker room, and there's
a there's some people speaking out saying, you know, it's
not their fault because they're just following the they're just
following the example set by other people out there, like
for example, when Alabama wins the game against against Tennessee,
they'll break out the cigars and smoke those in the
locker room. And that's not even an Alabama thing. Going
(00:42):
back to the nineties, the Chicago Bulls after their championships,
Michael Jordan used to uh famously smoke in the locker
room following those games. So smoking a cigar is nothing
new at these games. But these pictures are circulating the
round and saying, hey, here's the here's the real problem
is the kids didn't do it like off school property.
They did it in the locker room. And allegedly there
(01:06):
were school staff and city official scene in the pictures.
So in other words, they knew about it. They because
they weren't, you know, snatching the cigars out of their mouths.
I guess they were condoning it because they were in
the same presence. And now the question is what kind
of example are we setting? Is this a good thing
that we're allowing this to happen? You know, I was
(01:27):
thinking about it. If you've ever smoked a cigar, I've
been around it. I'll come around and say it I've not,
but I've been around it enough, and I've seen somebody
try and smoke a cigar for the very first time.
There's a lot of choking going on. If these kids
are actually able to smoke a cigar, I'm going to
go out on a limb and say it probably wasn't
their first time smoking a cigar. Doesn't make it right.
(01:47):
I sure wouldn't want my kid in that locker room.
I would want to have some words with a coach
if I had a son and he was on the
team and he was in that locker room smoking. I'd
want to have words, but I don't know. Maybe I'm
an old fogie.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Back.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You've seen this, you've heard the controversy going on out there,
and you're a little closer to high school age. It
wasn't that long ago for you. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I honestly think it's ridiculous. Like you said, I understand
that if you had a child in that locker room,
you could be uncomfortable with the way that the events occurred. However,
I literally just looked this up because I knew it
couldn't be too long ago. Smoking was allowed in schools
until or two thousand and three, so you know, a
mere two decades ago you could smoke in schools. So
I just don't see why it's been made to be
(02:30):
such a big deal, because, you know, I heard Leah
Brandon talking about this too, like next year they could
go play for Alabama and smoke sigars after they beat Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Sure so, and but okay, now let me go Devil's
advocate here. What if they were drinking in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
No, that's different. That's completely different. I don't associate the
two as being the same. On the same wavelength at least.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Maybe it vaping in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh, you know, I have siblings. I have one sibling
left that's still in high school, and vaping is such
an issue in high schools right now, so I feel
like that's entirely different.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
So that's diffrue. But the smoking, But so you're you're thinking,
is smoking a celebratory cigar in the locker room?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Permissible?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I mean, I don't think that it's you know, an
attractive thing to advertise for high schoolers, especially for the coach.
But I don't think it's something you know to deem
worthy of, you know, a resignation or.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Next time, maybe send some some permission slips home to
smoke a cigar if you would.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Also all forge on mom sitting as right well, and the.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Head coach is already on his way out or he
is out. But I understand this not because of this,
he was he was leaving anyway. But I guess that
way he doesn't have to get held responsible because I'm gone. Yeah,
is that somebody else's problem?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Do you think that, you know, if he wasn't to leave,
if he wasn't planning on leaving either way, do you
think that that's something worthy of a resignation, or even
if I don't think.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I don't think of resignation, that probably a stern talking to. Yeah,
but I don't think of a resignation either. Yeah, guys,
for one thing, he just led the team to a championship,
so exactly, I would think commendation might be in order.
And you know, he'll have a certain talking to. And then,
by the way, here's a cigar for you to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Behind him while you're at it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Do you have an extra I think the mistake was
when the phones came out that somebody said, hey, put
those away if you want to enjoy the cigar, put
those things away. Yeah. But again, I maybe I'm maybe
I'm you know, maybe I'm overly permissive here. Maybe maybe again,
I don't I don't smoke. I don't condone smoking. I
think it's terrible. I see no redeeming qualities in it.
But we might also be overreacting. Yeah, I think that
(04:29):
it's I don't see the big deal. If you'd like
to weigh on two oh five four three nine nine
three seven two or leave us a talkback, just go
to the iHeart Radio talkback or iHeart Radio app, pull
up the radio station. There's a little tiny microphone next
to the listen button at the bottom. Leave us a
message comes right to us and we'll play it here
in the studio. We're getting some calls on this pill
out in Moody. Welcome to the show. What do you think? Hey,
(04:50):
you guys, not much so what are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
My thoughts are, Yes, it's just a cigar, it's no
big deal. But my main problem with as being a
parent of two grown sons, is that the people in
leadership roles, you know, roles for the kids, allowed them
to break the law. At the end of the day,
it doesn't matter if it's just a cigar. In Alabama,
it's it's illegal for miners to possess or use tobacco.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So is the fact that you got So it's the
fact that those those I was going to show the
fact that you had administrators there. It wasn't a picture
like they went off campus. They took pictures with them
hanging out, you know, at like a gas station. After
the fact, this was in the locker room on school
property that this happened, and that's kind of your concern.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That's that's my problem with it. Is that the leaders,
they're the adults that are supposed to be leading the kids,
were allowing them to break the law. And that's that's
just not that's not cool, that's not good leadership.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I would agree. I would agree with you because we
do have to set the example for our kids. That
is part of teaching. Teaching isn't just about what you
learn in the classroom. Sometimes it's what you learn on
the field, and sometimes what you learn after the game
in the locker room. Fill that's a great point about
leadership from the the parents, leadership from this teachers, and
leadership from the administration. And like I said, I think
(06:04):
that was the real problem is that in those pictures
you could clearly see that it was at least tacitly
being condoned by school leadership there in the locker room.
If you'd like to weigh in on this, feel free
to give us a call two O five four three

but you can or leave us a message on the

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
