Speaker 1: since we have talked, we should today be talking about
2:38
Speaker 1: the first episode of The Bachelorette, which should have run
2:44
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and now we are not talking about the
2:52
Speaker 1: first episode of The Bachelorette because they canceled the whole
2:57
Speaker 1: dang season.
3:00
Speaker 4: Oh man, all those potential careers, I mean love, all that.
3:04
Speaker 1: Love, all the love and the stuff. It's gone. Well, see,
3:10
Speaker 1: new stuff just keeps coming out, which I think is
3:13
Speaker 1: one of the main reasons they canceled. Okay, Newly released
3:18
Speaker 1: bodycam footage obtained by TMZ from Taylor Frankie Paul's twenty
3:25
Speaker 1: twenty three arrest reveals even more chaos from that fateful night,
3:32
Speaker 1: including Dakota pleading with cops to take him to jail instead.
3:39
Speaker 1: The video begins as officers arrive at Taylor's home in Utah,
3:43
Speaker 1: where she and Dakota are already screaming at each other
3:47
Speaker 1: before the police reached the front door, picking up where
3:51
Speaker 1: the cell phone footage, which was previously been aired, had
3:55
Speaker 1: left off. Taylor pled guilty to agriv assault was sentenced
4:02
Speaker 1: to three years probation, which is scheduled to end in August.
4:07
Speaker 1: Prosecutors dropped four other charges, including domestic violence in the
4:13
Speaker 1: presence of a child, child abuse, and criminal mischief. So
4:21
Speaker 1: there was stuff going on, but the probation ends in August.
4:28
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know no details about. Yes,
4:35
Speaker 1: some producer has lost their job over this.
4:39
Speaker 4: I feel like there was so many options from that
4:41
Speaker 4: show too, and you picked her.
4:44
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well, of course, Disney had to release a
4:48
Speaker 1: statement last week saying, in light of the newly released
4:53
Speaker 1: video which just surfaced today and this was the cell
4:57
Speaker 1: phone stuff, we made the decision not to move move
5:00
Speaker 1: forward with the new season of the Bachelorette at this time.
5:05
Speaker 1: And listen to this, I just knew Disney was such
5:09
Speaker 1: a great corporation. Our focus is supporting the family. Oh
5:16
Speaker 1: my gosh, can you ask for a better organization than that?
5:22
Speaker 4: But I'm not gonna even I'm not sitting at any
5:25
Speaker 4: hate towards the mouse because the mouse scares me.
5:29
Speaker 1: Very very wise. It's like it's it's kind of like
5:35
Speaker 1: going to war with Taylor. You may wake up dead
5:38
Speaker 1: if you say anything against Disney.
5:41
Speaker 5: Could you imagine those two going at each other?
5:44
Speaker 1: Oh, that would be precious. I would pay for that.
5:49
Speaker 5: I was like, we should have done a whole March
5:50
Speaker 5: Madness bracket.
5:51
Speaker 1: That would be awesome. You know you're not here, but
5:56
Speaker 1: you you need a part of You need to be
5:58
Speaker 1: part of our snack atology. Bracket.
6:01
Speaker 5: Oh I love snacks. I'm really missing out.
6:03
Speaker 1: You are, but but but because Reese's peanut butter cups
6:10
Speaker 1: have dominated snacktology the last couple of years, they should, yes,
6:15
Speaker 1: should well. Ted didn't even include them this year.
6:19
Speaker 5: There are That's probably fair.
6:22
Speaker 1: I say. If hey, if you're gonna have a dynasty,
6:25
Speaker 1: you have a dynasty. You know that's the way.
6:28
Speaker 5: This is what you should have done, or they should
6:31
Speaker 5: have done.
6:31
Speaker 4: They should have done the different types of res yescause
6:35
Speaker 4: those eggs and the trees, those different candy cups, saying
6:40
Speaker 4: or the or the pieces.
6:42
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. He had snacks I've never heard of.
6:45
Speaker 5: In this list, and that love a variety.
6:48
Speaker 1: I think there was more more salty than sweet snacks.
6:51
Speaker 1: And by the way, my my salty favorite I had
6:55
Speaker 1: winning the whole thing. So we'll see how that works out.
6:58
Speaker 1: I'd rather not say yet.
7:00
Speaker 5: Okay, got it. You don't want to jinx it.
7:02
Speaker 1: Now, Let's wait on the games you're supposed to be
7:05
Speaker 1: We're supposed to be back in the Sweet sixteen soon,
7:10
Speaker 1: so with the snacks, so I'll wait on that. Maybe
7:12
Speaker 1: by tomorrow.
7:14
Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear I should see I really
7:16
Speaker 4: need to get up to date on all the snacks.
7:18
Speaker 1: Yes, you do well. Like I said, I don't think
7:21
Speaker 1: I knew about a third of them on this list
7:23
Speaker 1: this year amazing. William Shatner, who is ninety five, took
7:30
Speaker 1: to Twitter over the weekend like you do when you're
7:34
Speaker 1: ninety five, to bemoan the news that the latest Star
7:41
Speaker 1: Trek franchise series, Starfleet Academy, will end after the upcoming
7:48
Speaker 1: second season. It's with sorrow that I hear about the
7:53
Speaker 1: cancelation of the new Star Trek series, he wrote. Shatner
7:58
Speaker 1: mocked critics who celebrated the show's cancelation because they claimed
8:04
Speaker 1: it was woke. He argued the original Star Trek, which
8:09
Speaker 1: famously featured an interracial kiss between Captain Kirk and Lieutenant
8:15
Speaker 1: Uhura in the nineteen sixty eight episode. During the first
8:21
Speaker 1: airing of My Straw Star Trek Kiss, where my Star
8:26
Speaker 1: Trek series where a kiss was objectionable, many stations pulled
8:31
Speaker 1: the episode to condemn the show. Using today's vernacular, it
8:35
Speaker 1: would absolutely be called woke DEI because it went against
8:41
Speaker 1: the norms of society. I have not watched the Starfleet Academy.
8:49
Speaker 1: I don't know where it's streaming, I don't know where
8:52
Speaker 1: it's available, so maybe that's why. Maybe that's part of
8:58
Speaker 1: the issue. Don't get me wrong. I love me some
9:02
Speaker 1: Captain Kirk and I love me some Star Trek. And
9:07
Speaker 1: like I said, anybody who's tweeting at age ninety five,
9:11
Speaker 1: you go, Bill, you go.
9:14
Speaker 4: You know what's crazy too, is I never he never
9:17
Speaker 4: looked his age to me like. He always looked right well,
9:19
Speaker 4: which I'm sure he would appreciate that.
9:21
Speaker 1: You know, he's got a good he's got really good
9:24
Speaker 1: hair piece, an outstanding hair piece. And he said, yeah,
9:30
Speaker 1: he's had some good work done.
9:32
Speaker 5: If you make yourself more look more realistic to your age, yes,
9:35
Speaker 5: it's usually pretty good work. It's when you try to yeah,
9:38
Speaker 5: way too young.
9:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think you're right. I think you're right. He's done.
9:42
Speaker 4: Okay, So if you're going to get any plastic surgery
9:45
Speaker 4: or hair pieces, just like, be realistic.
9:47
Speaker 5: You know.
9:48
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, that's our advice for you today. I think
9:52
Speaker 1: that's sound advice. Yes, you're welcome.
9:54
Speaker 5: No, we had to give that good advice before I
9:55
Speaker 5: start talking about Megan Markles.
9:57
Speaker 1: What's happened with Meghan and.
10:00
Speaker 5: Harry's production company is gearing up for a new sleeve.
10:03
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no. I thought we were
10:09
Speaker 1: done with this.
10:11
Speaker 4: They're developing a mix of script no general projects currently
10:17
Speaker 4: in the pipeline.
10:18
Speaker 1: They just don't know when to quit, do they.
10:21
Speaker 4: Oh, man, well, there is a mix of fiction and
10:24
Speaker 4: non piction projects on the slate.
10:26
Speaker 5: There is a natural truth. I'm sorry, are.
10:31
Speaker 4: You tripping over my words because apparently, well we all know,
10:35
Speaker 4: I can't read very well.
10:36
Speaker 5: Anyways, as you worked through the stages of development.
10:40
Speaker 4: But Archwell Productions will I thought Archwell Productions just failed.
10:44
Speaker 1: I thought that was the name of it. I thought
10:46
Speaker 1: that was the name of their son, Archwell Productions. Isn't
10:53
Speaker 1: it Archie. Isn't that one of the kids Archie?
10:56

Speaker 5: you never know.
10:59
Speaker 4: Sure, people, Sure, we'll have programming across several streets.

11:08
Speaker 1: public has said enough, we don't want what you've got,
11:12
Speaker 1: get leave us alone. Remember when they were telling everybody
11:16
Speaker 1: to leave them alone and going on every TV show
11:20
Speaker 1: in the world saying, we just want our piece, please
11:24
Speaker 1: leave us alone, And we're talking to every network.
11:27
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, chip, but then they realize that.
11:31
Speaker 1: No one w care, doesn't make the money and no
11:34
Speaker 1: one cared, and no one cared.
11:37
Speaker 5: Yeah you really want us to care? Go try to
11:39
Speaker 5: be a royal again. See how that works.
11:43
Speaker 1: Just sick about this whole thing.
11:46
Speaker 5: Anyway.
11:47
Speaker 4: So if you care in the slightest or if you
11:50
Speaker 4: want to hate watch, that will be coming soon.

12:29
Speaker 1: respect for the meetium of comedy. It taught me discipline, patience, timing,
12:33
Speaker 1: and respect working in an adult space. So young. This
12:38
Speaker 1: is from Instagram. She's on the set of George and Mandy.
12:44
Speaker 1: She asked co star Montana Jordan if she'd ever heard

12:54
Speaker 1: Ozma captioned, I met thousands of him fans over the

13:02
Speaker 1: fans that literally work beside me every day like Montana.

13:26

16:59
Speaker 1: Webster or the second.
17:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did read that, but I avoided it on
17:04
Speaker 4: purpose because I knew I was.
17:06
Speaker 1: That's quite the name.
17:09
Speaker 5: It's very fancy sounding, very sophisticated.
17:12
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, why didn't he go with Jacques Webster?
17:15
Speaker 1: I like that better than Travis Scott. I don't know
17:18

17:28
Speaker 1: Let's see Barry Manilow. It is opening up about his
17:33
Speaker 1: lung cancer diagnosis. In December, the eighty two year old
17:38
Speaker 1: music icon revealed he had been diagnosed with lung cancer
17:41
Speaker 1: was undergoing treatment. Now. In an exclusive People magazine cover story, Matteloe,
17:51
Speaker 1: who just announced he will drop his thirty third studio
17:56
Speaker 1: album June the fifth, is detailing his expence. You don't
18:01
Speaker 1: even think about how fragile life is, and suddenly you
18:04
Speaker 1: have lung cancer. But I'm still here. I'm not all here.
18:09
Speaker 1: There's part of me that isn't here. They took part
18:11
Speaker 1: of me, and now I've got to figure out what
18:14
Speaker 1: do I do. If I hadn't gone and gotten an
18:21
Speaker 1: MRI when my hips were bothering me, if I hadn't
18:27
Speaker 1: have done that, it saved my life. There were no symptoms, symptoms,
18:32
Speaker 1: nothing hurt. But they found a spot on my lung.
18:36
Speaker 1: They called me and said could be cancer. I said, bleep,
18:41
Speaker 1: you I don't have cancer. More tests, more tests said,
18:48
Speaker 1: oh yes, you do. Four weeks later, Manelo checked into
18:53
Speaker 1: the hospital to undergo a litlebectomy to remove the disease
18:58
Speaker 1: part of the lung. Spent seven days and I see you,
19:04
Speaker 1: he said, I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't
19:06
Speaker 1: have to have chemo radiation and all that stuff. You go, barry,
19:14
Speaker 1: you go.
19:15
Speaker 5: Response, although, yeah, not the best.
19:17
Speaker 1: Shut shut off if you have it. Yeah, what a
19:20
Speaker 1: doctor says, could be cancer shut up.
19:24
Speaker 4: So maybe the doctor was like, it's a different change
19:29
Speaker 4: and response.
19:31
Speaker 5: Something new. Oh gosh, well some sad more sad dudes.
19:36
Speaker 5: O Bourne and Sid Wilson quietly hit the brake. No, no,
19:41
Speaker 5: I apparently more than a month ago.
19:43
Speaker 1: Wow, and we're just finding out about it.
19:46
Speaker 4: And while they're not fully together now, the door may
19:49
Speaker 4: not be fully shut. Yeah, apparently it happened a few
19:53
Speaker 4: weeks ago, but it's only surfacing now. Kelly and Sid
19:56
Speaker 4: have always had a bit of a hot and cold
19:58
Speaker 4: dynamic and the pattern plate and to you know, where
20:01
Speaker 4: things are right.
20:01
Speaker 1: Now, so perfect, perfect for upcoming marriage exactly.
20:06
Speaker 4: So, of course I'm sure what currently caused the split. However,
20:10
Speaker 4: it's not like she's not going through an incredibly difficult year.
20:12
Speaker 4: Her father did pass away morn in July, and he
20:17
Speaker 4: did propose seven months ago, Okay, during Ozzie's final Black
20:23
Speaker 4: Sabbath concerts, so kind of a big memorable thing.
20:27
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, we'll see. I mean they've got their
20:30
Speaker 5: you know.
20:31
Speaker 1: I sure hope those kids can make it. Really, I
20:34
Speaker 1: really hope those crazy kids can make it.
20:36
Speaker 5: Maybe.
20:38
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's do birthdays. I just mentioned William Shatner.

Speaker 1: in mind. This is Joe Popolardo. It is an amazing
28:39
Speaker 1: story of Borger, Texas in the nineteen twenties during Prohibition.
28:45
Speaker 1: It's called Boomtown and again Joe Popolardo is the author. Joe,
28:52
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm doing great?
28:54
Speaker 12: How are you doing?
28:55
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. This is wild. I grew up in
28:59
Speaker 1: this state, been here all my life, did not know
29:02
Speaker 1: the story. How did this story come to you?
29:07
Speaker 12: It was an once you sort of get introduced to Borgery,
29:13
Speaker 12: it kind of sticks with a few and I was
29:15
Speaker 12: looking at Frank Hamer quite frankly. I was writing about
29:19
Speaker 12: the Texas Rangers, and I definitely wanted to do something
29:22
Speaker 12: a little bit more modern and build into the sort
29:25
Speaker 12: of the more the evolution of the Rangers. And he's
29:27
Speaker 12: the best bridge between the past and the future. And
29:31
Speaker 12: you know, he had been brought into the Rangers by
29:35
Speaker 12: captains who worked in the eighteen hundreds when I had
29:37
Speaker 12: book set in there, so he was part of the
29:39
Speaker 12: Ranger continuity. But then I hit Borger, right, and he
29:45
Speaker 12: was sent there by the governor to clean up Borger.
29:48
Speaker 12: And it's a couple of pages in most biographies, which
29:51
Speaker 12: are good. I like the biographies, but those two pages
29:56
Speaker 12: are my entire book.
29:57
Speaker 1: You know.
29:58
Speaker 12: I tried to slow it down to really try and
30:01
Speaker 12: show the trade craft and the challenge and what happened
30:05
Speaker 12: in that town and who was there and what they
30:08
Speaker 12: wanted to get out of it, and you know, why
30:10
Speaker 12: was it so bad? And you know, and just get
30:13
Speaker 12: into all those questions. And I realized that that's all
30:16
Speaker 12: you needed for an entire book, was just profiling one
30:18
Speaker 12: year of this insane place and during this insane time
30:22
Speaker 12: with one of the best, you know, foils for that
30:25
Speaker 12: kind of revelry and violence. And here comes Frank Hamer,
30:28
Speaker 12: the most famous Texas Ranger, is the one who is
30:31
Speaker 12: tasked to clean it up. And it was just too perfect.
30:35
Speaker 1: Tell our listeners who Ace Borger was.
30:40
Speaker 12: So Ace Borger is. I still try and think of it,
30:43
Speaker 12: like these guys are all still alive. As Borger was
30:46
Speaker 12: a Stockholm syndrome for authors.
30:49
Speaker 1: It's a real thing.
30:50
Speaker 12: So he was a land speculator who heard a well
30:55
Speaker 12: first of all her he ran a town in Oklahoma
30:59
Speaker 12: called Cromwell, which was famously corrupt, and he fostered that
31:05
Speaker 12: it was called an open city where they basically ignored
31:08
Speaker 12: prohibition and laws, you know, forbidding prostitution and gambling and
31:13
Speaker 12: selling opium to pretty much as long as you paid
31:15
Speaker 12: off to the local law. So they got pretty much
31:19
Speaker 12: shut down. It ran out of Oklahoma, even to the
31:21
Speaker 12: point where locals had burned down some of their buildings
31:24
Speaker 12: and they found their new home based off of an
31:27
Speaker 12: oil development tip in Border in Texas. So that whole
31:31
Speaker 12: infrastructure of cops and crooked cops and crooked land speculators
31:36
Speaker 12: who want to be politicians, and the underclass of bootleggers
31:41
Speaker 12: and prostitutes, all documented started there and all came to
31:45
Speaker 12: Border all at once. Ninety days after its founding, it
31:49
Speaker 12: had grown to forty five thousand people. So you know,
31:54
Speaker 12: it was by design, a you know, a place that
31:58
Speaker 12: was born to sort of be bad, you know, not
32:00
Speaker 12: as bad as it became. Probably the violence became a
32:04
Speaker 12: little out of control and that became not good for business.
32:07
Speaker 12: But business included all of that vice, and the vice
32:10
Speaker 12: industry was one of the reasons why they wanted to
32:12
Speaker 12: have a city to begin with. And it attracts people,
32:15
Speaker 12: and those people attract people who want to feed those
32:17
Speaker 12: people bread and provide services to them. It's the straight people,
32:21
Speaker 12: you know, So it's not just the underworld all of
32:23
Speaker 12: a sudden, You've got this whole other class of people
32:25
Speaker 12: who just want a second chance. So, you know, the
32:28
Speaker 12: dynamics of the town became very interesting the more I
32:31
Speaker 12: dug into it.
32:32
Speaker 1: I want to repeat what you just said. In ninety
32:35
Speaker 1: days there were forty five thousand people at Border.
32:40
Speaker 12: It's just an irresponsible level of growth. It's just you
32:46
Speaker 12: can't and it starts selling itself. Wiley all there and
32:49
Speaker 12: it's snowballs. But yeah, there was no lights, you know,
32:53
Speaker 12: open sewers. The dereks were next to the houses that
32:56
Speaker 12: were ramshackle. You know, you're walking down Mainz Street and
33:01
Speaker 12: there's you know, you've got plenty of you know, prostitutes
33:04
Speaker 12: hanging out, you know, selling their wares, and and then
33:09
Speaker 12: you know you're hitting the speakeasies a little bit and
33:13
Speaker 12: you notice that the drug stores are still open and
33:15
Speaker 12: they're selling things and including booze and other drugs. And
33:19
Speaker 12: then you get to the really bad street Dixon, and
33:23
Speaker 12: you know, you know that's Border back then. And those
33:26
Speaker 12: are all again based on contemporary accounts, you know, you know,
33:30
Speaker 12: the descriptions of people who loved it there in their boosters,
33:33
Speaker 12: and people who you know, hated it or visited once
33:37
Speaker 12: and had an opinion. And I tried to bake it
33:39
Speaker 12: all into the scene setting because it's all true, you know,
33:42
Speaker 12: depending on where you're sitting. You know, a dance hall
33:44
Speaker 12: operator has a whole different idea about the town's worth.
33:48
Speaker 12: And you know, if you wanted to get a prosecute,
33:51
Speaker 12: you get a prosector. You want to go in a
33:52
Speaker 12: dance hall for a diamond dance, that's a whole different setup, right,
33:56
Speaker 12: And there's variations within the within the black that are very,
34:01
Speaker 12: very gray. And it was interesting when Frank Hamer saw
34:04
Speaker 12: that too. Sometimes in the Kanas case of the dance halls,
34:07
Speaker 12: not so much, but in other things he did.
34:10
Speaker 1: Aside from the bootleggers, the gamblers. By the way, this
34:16
Speaker 1: is during prohibition, is it not, And it was just
34:20
Speaker 1: openly blatantly ignored.
34:23
Speaker 12: Absolutely blatantly ignored. Yeah, they declared it basically and open town.
34:28
Speaker 12: And the locals weren't going to do anything about it.
34:30
Speaker 12: And the prohibition people can only come in without local support.
34:33
Speaker 12: There's not much that they can do.
34:35
Speaker 1: Aside from the oil field workers, how did forty five
34:39
Speaker 1: thousand people show up so quickly in a world where
34:43
Speaker 1: news did not travel that fast?
34:47
Speaker 12: The news was traveling fast by wire and by newspaper
34:50
Speaker 12: all the ways that they when you read how the
34:53
Speaker 12: advertised for it, Yeah, and they said land for sale.
34:57
Speaker 12: Come and stake your new future at the Pittsburgh of
35:00
Speaker 12: Texas or whatever they're calling it, you know whatever that
35:03
Speaker 12: you know, we're on a train line. We're going to
35:07
Speaker 12: be great. And hey, by the way, we're a bunch
35:10
Speaker 12: of guys from Oklahoma who just set up an insanely
35:13
Speaker 12: popular boom town. Get in on it now. And people
35:17
Speaker 12: showed up, you know, in droves, because they wanted good, bad,
35:22
Speaker 12: ugly across the spectrum. They wanted another opportunity. They want
35:25
Speaker 12: to make something to themselves. It's a very human I
35:29
Speaker 12: don't care if you're Shine pulp Joy, the king of
35:31
Speaker 12: the Texas bootleggers, or if you're Maddie Castleberry that you
35:35
Speaker 12: know who wants to go operate a legitimate dance hall,
35:38
Speaker 12: or you know Dutch Becky, the professional wrestler who who's
35:42
Speaker 12: defending his title as a hometown you know, professional wrestling hero.
35:47
Speaker 12: You got something, someone's going to try and take it
35:49
Speaker 12: from you. But you've got a chance to build it
35:51
Speaker 12: in borderom right. If you can defend it, you gotta
35:54
Speaker 12: against all circumstances and all comers. But you know that's
35:58
Speaker 12: the shared ethos amongst all these people except Frank Hamer.
36:01
Speaker 12: He just wants to get the hell out. The Rangers
36:03
Speaker 12: just want to leave. So against all of that is
36:06
Speaker 12: the you know, the people who their reward is just leaving,
36:10
Speaker 12: and that is part of why it was such a challenge.
36:13
Speaker 12: And if you want to view it as their undoing
36:15
Speaker 12: of this particular effort, that's a part of it that
36:18
Speaker 12: plays in.
36:19
Speaker 1: I know that the name Frank Hamer rigs a belt
36:21
Speaker 1: with some people. I will remind them that he was
36:25
Speaker 1: famous frankly as a Texas Ranger, but became worldwide famous
36:31
Speaker 1: when he killed Bonnie and Clyde in nineteen thirty four.
36:37
Speaker 12: Yes, he's the one of the central characters in it.
36:42
Speaker 12: It was really interesting to see him in the stage
36:44
Speaker 12: of his career when he's the senior captain.
36:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, when.
36:49
Speaker 12: When they when the governor called him in the you know,
36:51
Speaker 12: hunt down Bonnie and Clyde. It was after he was
36:54
Speaker 12: out of the Rangers, but it was a very similar
36:56
Speaker 12: sort of a call that he has used to get
36:58
Speaker 12: in which was, so thing is out of control. You know,
37:02
Speaker 12: we need someone with some some grit and some heft
37:05
Speaker 12: who can go in there and establish some order.
37:07
Speaker 1: And he didn't buy shooting people.
37:10
Speaker 12: He didn't mind shooting people, that was but I always
37:12
Speaker 12: think of that as one of the tools in his toolkit.
37:16
Speaker 12: So if that was the shortest distance between the two
37:19
Speaker 12: lines of justice and he would achieve what the governor needed,
37:22
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, okay, that's what you do. But if that
37:27
Speaker 12: means you know, unraveling, you know, a bombing, you know
37:32
Speaker 12: some you know, and using his investigative skills, his holster
37:35
Speaker 12: doesn't come out. If that means you know, step by
37:38
Speaker 12: step like it we described in the book, Yes, we
37:41
Speaker 12: describe in the book, you know, trying to tie a
37:44
Speaker 12: noose around a corrupt politician who's accepting money and doing
37:47
Speaker 12: a sting. Well, he's going to do that too. If
37:49
Speaker 12: he's going to take out his gun out of the holster,
37:51
Speaker 12: he could be pistol whipping someone in the street to
37:53
Speaker 12: get you know, get everyone's compliance in a situation instead
37:57
Speaker 12: of shooting. Or he could be you know, putting someone
38:00
Speaker 12: down for a reason. It's all part of his toolkit.
38:02
Speaker 12: And as he got older, he was more selective in
38:06
Speaker 12: which one of those tools he'd reach for, because with
38:08
Speaker 12: age some sort of wisdom. But he would still reserve
38:12
Speaker 12: that option of putting me down that was never not
38:14
Speaker 12: in the toolkit, if you know what I mean.
38:16
Speaker 1: The book is called Boomtown, The True Story of the
38:19
Speaker 1: Wickedest Town in Texas. It is a fascinating look at
38:24
Speaker 1: border Texas. Joe Papelardo is the author. Joe, thank you
