Can a simple photo capture the weight of unimaginable grief? In this deeply moving episode of Special OpeRadio, we start by sharing a heart-wrenching story of life, love, and loss. I reflect on how music has always been a source of comfort and connection in my family. We then turn our focus to the tragic accident that claimed the life of six-year-old Lucy Morgan during a family vacation. Through the family's poignant journey of loss and the haunting image of them around Lucy's hospital bed, we explore the impact such tragedies have on the human spirit and the delicate balance between memorializing and mourning.
Why isn't anyone talking about the Russian nuclear submarine lurking off the Florida coast? As we shift gears, this episode examines the glaring gaps in media coverage regarding recent geopolitical tensions. We draw parallels to historical crises like the Cuban Missile Crisis, critique President Biden's leadership, and discuss fears for our children's future amidst growing global unrest. Insights from a podcast episode with Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson add layers to our discussion, as they bring forward provocative topics and predictions about potential global conflicts, including the chilling prospect of World War III.
Ever thought about how faith and humor can coexist in adversity? Closing the episode, we share a personal journey through various writing forms, from poetry to comedy, and the daunting transition to stand-up. Reflecting on experiences from Iraq to federal prison, we highlight how faith has been a guiding light through tough times. Tex Terry wraps it all up with a blend of humor and heartfelt gratitude, reflecting on his wife's amusing reactions to his lengthy talks. This episode promises to leave you with a mix of emotions, from deep sorrow to thoughtful reflection and even a few laughs.

Speaker 1:
I dig it. I dig the new music, the intro. I'm not going to sit here and say that this is the one, but I like it. Got a lot of horns in there and a fun fact about your favorite host, texas Terry. By the way, you are listening to Special App Radio. We appreciate you being here. Feel free to hit us up at specialappradiolookcom and hit us up with any comments, concerns, complaints or otherwise. You can also catch us on X at Special App Radio.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, man, anyway, I'm sorry, I got sidetracked. I'm reading this story, which I'm fixing to get into in a minute. Man, I hate to start the show off on like a, you know, like a sad note, but this is something that I wanted to address and I'm going to bring that up shortly. But before we get to that, let me just say this I did choose that tune because everybody in my family plays some sort of instrument. You name it Clarinet, saxophone, fucking tuba. Who knows you name it? They play that shit. I'm like one of the only people in my family that doesn't play an instrument. As far as I know, there may be one like random couple cousins that you know I don't fuck with that, that don't either. But anyway, neither here nor there I digress, man. Man, we got a bunch of shit going on.
Speaker 1:
Uh, let me start where I wanted to have y'all seen this story, man. This is honestly, it's really, really tragic, man, this six-year-old little girl from new jersey. She was on a family vacation. Um, that turned I don't even know if tragic is the right word for it but a shard of a badminton racket broke off and pierced the little girl's skull. Apparently she was observing a game, you know, and on vacation with her family and everything. And uh, lucy morgan, um, yeah, she died four days after the shocking, freak accident on, uh, what was supposed to be an idyllic lakeside trip in maine. It's real, that's shitty, man, when you think about it. You know, and I apologize for even cursing during this little segment right here but tragedy unfolded Saturday as the Morgan family of six enjoyed their first or, excuse me, enjoyed their last full day at their rental cottage in Limerick, maine.
Speaker 1:
According to her father, jesse Morgan, this is also a heartbreaker. He's a pastor at Green Pond Bible Chapel in Rockaway. I mean, when you hear this kind of story because I mean, people die all the time in strange ways, but when you see something like this's. It's a six-year-old little girl on vacation with a family. They're just, you know, minding their own business, playing badminton, the. The guy's a pastor and I'm not saying if you're a pastor you get any other kind of leeway or favoritism in this world than anybody else. But I mean, come on, bro, how come this stuff never happens to like I'll just leave? I mean, I'll just leave it there, I don't want to get ugly during this little spot. Um, I almost say is.
Speaker 1:
According to main state police, she had received the unintentional injury from her 10 year old brother. The aluminum shaft of the racket had dislodged from its wooden handle, causing the shaft to strike the girl through her head. Investigators ruled Lucy was breathing but unresponsive, as EMS rushed her to a local hospital, which airlifted the injured girl to Maine Medical Center in Portland. According to Maine State Police, she was taken directly into the operating room where surgeons removed part of her skull to relieve pressure. That is when Lucy flatlined down the table. Man, that's heartbreaking to say.
Speaker 1:
Read, think about the doctors. This part of the article. I read this the other day and I just thought, man, it kind of came off. Uh, I don't know. Anyway, it says uh, fortunately, doctors were successful in reviving the young girl, but lucy had lost all brain function and the full ability to breathe on her own, you know. As you can imagine, the doctors did warn the family that the girl had a very slim chance of recovery. The penetration of the racket shaft was very deep into her brain and caused immediate arterial bleeds. Morgan explained the little girl succumbed to her injuries 4 am Wednesday, so that would have been about a week ago, if I'm not mistaken. No, I'm positive. Her funeral is set to be held June 15th at her father's church. I can get you that information as soon as I find it. Man, you got to think about the dad too. You know what I mean. Like, the mom is out here and I guess this is a quote from her. She's saying every time I looked into the rearview mirror wishing I saw Lucy munching on some chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1:
After we stopped at Wendy's and only ordered for five, morgan wrote about making the long 350-mile drive back to their New Jersey home without Lucy. According to Morgan, lucy's siblings, silas 10, shiloh 8, and Atticus 4, are struggling to comprehend the loss and tragically blaming themselves and taking it pretty hard. That's understandably so. Again, not sure what to say about that? I't see a gofundme or anything like that listed. Um, if I do find one, or if one becomes available, I'll make that available to you via this podcast or my twitter account, which you should follow. It's at special op radio, pretty fucking funny.
Speaker 1:
Um, there was one small problem I had with this, and I don't know, man, I can only imagine and I probably can't even do that at best. But they did post a picture of the family surrounding the little girl in her hospital bed. Everybody's staring at her and you obviously can't imagine what they're feeling. But I do have a problem with having the presence of mind in the moment to take a picture like that, Isn't that? When do we draw the line between? I mean, isn't some stuff supposed to be personal? The story in and of itself is heartbreaking. I don't think you need to add the picture to it. I think whoever was in that picture or whoever decided to take that picture did that or made that decision in poor taste. That's just me. That's my personal opinion and, as you know, I'm going to stick to it.
Speaker 1:
And then I say do, or you know otherwise, unless proven wrong. Man, we try not to bullshit here. That's what you know the goal is is to make Special App Radio 100% transparent, authentic, every episode, every time we crack the can of the mic. Did I say that? Right? I hear all the professionals all the time they be like yo, I cracked the mic open Sounds cool.
Speaker 1:
So, anywho, let's move forward, because, even though that is sad and tragic and I could go on about some of that stuff for an hour, but we don't want to do that what we do want to talk about is something that's a little more pressing, a little more scary nerve-wracking, if you will have you all seen that there's a fucking Russian sub like 60 miles, or there's some warships 60 miles off the coast of Florida. There's also a nuclear-capable Russian sub in Cuba right now. That is, I mean, posted up there. That's like what? 90 miles from Cuba or, excuse me, 90 miles from Florida? Right, I got my little tabs all fucked up here, so I'm going to go back into it and just type some shit. How you guys doing.
Speaker 1:
Anyway, man, it's just a rough week, right? Is it not a weird world that we live in right now? Because everybody is tense? It's probably because there's a fucking Russian sub off the US coast, near Florida. Can you imagine being on the beach and a motherfucking Russian sub just rolls up on you. It's weird that the mainstream media isn't really commenting on this too much, even though now there's, like, the United States, military that's apparently patrolling the area to keep an eye on them.
Speaker 1:
This is supposedly planned. I forget where it came from, but I knew it wasn't a credible source. I'll tell you that. That's why I didn't make any effort to try to remember it. But yeah, man, four Russian warships, including a nuclear sub, have reached Cuba just 200 miles off the coast of Florida, ahead of a planned military exercise in the Atlantic. I don't know if I buy that. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:
The fleet, though, is made up of a frigate. I don't know what that word is frigate, frigate. I don't give a fuck. It's a nuclear-powered submarine, an oil tanker and a rescue tug man. That shit does everything. It's like a goddamn. It's like a. What do you call those things that you used to wear in the military? A leatherman, it's like a swiss army knife sub and shit, but anyway, uh, yeah, it arrived in havana bay on wednesday, welcomed by a 21-cannon salute from Cuba. That's nice.
Speaker 1:
I wasn't alive for the Cuban Missile Crisis. I feel like. This was close to that. I'm familiar with it. I couldn't speak on it articulately or like, even expand too too much, but I got the gist of it. You know what I mean. I probably knew more 10 years ago, but you know how it is when you get older, your memory starts to go. Anyway, man, yeah, the Russians are moving closer.
Speaker 1:
You think it has anything to do with what the status of our president looks like at all? Have you seen anything, any video anywhere on any platform, about this dude shaking hands with ghosts wandering off when he's standing next to other quote-unquote world leaders or uh, I don't know. I think he shit himself the other day on on a world stage. I'm almost positive he did that, uh, in front of a bunch of d-day veterans too. Shout out, d-day veterans. I don't even know what that would be like. I know I missed commenting on it, but you know Anywho, neither here nor there Obviously much love, respect and appreciation. I could never do what I did for this country if it weren't for dudes like that.
Speaker 1:
Back in the day and you know, hopefully, I wanted to say like hopefully, you know, no other generation has to do that, but obviously that looks like probably not going to happen. I shudder to think who's going to war, where it's going to be, under what circumstances it's going to be under? I mean, I got kids, military age, two of them, 18. One's going to turn 19 tomorrow. Shout out to you, big Dog. I'm not going to put your name on blast on the pod, but you know I love you. Happy birthday, big Dog. I will be in touch soon. Anyway, neither here nor there. Man, yeah, these I got to go off sidetrack for a minute because I'm thinking about fucking Russian nuclear subs off the coast of Florida and like that's just.
Speaker 1:
These are strange, strange times. I mean, let me ask you, did you so happen to check out the podcast between Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson today? I mean, they kind of let it all out on the table. I feel like Tucker Carlson says some shit that he's been wanting to say a little bit more. Tucker carlson says some shit that he's been wanting to say a little bit uh more. Or maybe, as the events develop, he's becoming uh I don't want to say comfortable, you know what I mean. I don't think the dude's uncomfortable to say what he finds the truth, but I think he's uh kind of he's kind of locking in on whatever it is that he sees, that that's going on in the world, and I can't say that I don't disagree with him or that I disagree. I don't, I don't disagree with them.
Speaker 1:
It seems like a scary time to be alive, and you know, when you get talking about, uh, I'm obviously not gonna play the podcast or anything like that and I didn't save any sound bites, that's. You know. I'll love to see Alex Jones, which, whom you know, in case you hadn't noticed, they're going after him right now the the parents of Sandy Hook. I'm'm going to freestyle the rest of this because I'm tired of Googling this shit. I know enough about it to tell you. So if you want to find out more information, you can go check it out wherever you find your local news.
Speaker 1:
Anyway, yeah, man sidebar, they're trying to shut down Alex Jones and the InfoWars site, take possession of his studios, any of his platforms. These are the parents of the sandy hook victims that are trying to do this. And then, of course, the federal government tried to seize the studios the other day and he slept in the studio, basically to prevent them from raiding it. I don't know that that necessarily. It seems kind of like a publicity stunt because I mean, don't get me wrong, alex jones cool, he got a lot of knowledge and everything, but he doesn't come across as very threatening. And even if he did, I mean if the FBI, like they send in that fucking elite squad, they got the HRT is that what it is? Hoskins Rescue Team, them boys. I've never seen them in action. Well, I guess I have a little bit, but I've heard plenty about them in the worlds that I've crossed paths in or traveled through, and I'm pretty sure if they really wanted to kick that door down and take Alex up out of there and confiscate all his equipment, that's exactly what they would have done. I mean shit, it's the honest truth. I mean there's no way that he's got more security or more any kind of structure or anything like that than Diddy did. And they went in his house like it wasn't nothing. He said all right, get parched, man, you talk for 13 minutes straight and see if you don't need a sip of liquid IV. I'm just kidding, it's not liquid IV. Unless they sponsor me, then it would be. I'll tell you all about how crisp and delicious it was. Now, hopefully, we can move to a point where this show is never sponsored, at least by anybody. That doesn't want to be a part of what we say here. So but anyway, back to the fucking uh, uh, the warships. What else were we talking about, man? Oh, alex jones. They're getting their shit. They're trying to take his stuff, man, and that's shutting down. Basically, first Amendment, right, free speech. That's the first one, isn't it? Anyway, no, seriously, I'm fucking around, but I mean that's a big deal, and if they can just decide to start shutting anybody down anytime they want to, that's no longer democracy and the Constitution might as well be null and void at that point. And we're back under a tyranny again.
Speaker 1:
I make light and I make jokes because I feel like sometimes that's what you got to do. You know what I mean. You got to laugh because if you stay too serious for too long, this shit will bring you down in a heartbeat. I know it, man. I used to call the radio shows all the time and I still talk on the radio. You know when the jokes are, excuse me, when the conversation's light, but I used to get up on there and just talk my shit on the radio. Which sidebar, you know it's funny, man, I could call I don't know how many shows I've called over the years or how many times. Not that it's a big deal. I mean anybody call a radio show.
Speaker 1:
Man, I could talk for an hour on the radio, I wouldn't swear, not one time. I could talk for two hours to my grandmother on the phone and not swear one time. But here, when I get with y'all, something gets fucked up, man. No, I'm going to stop. I know, stop the language. It's not even intelligent to talk like that. But anyway, let's get back to what the fuck we were talking about right off the rip, bro.
Speaker 1:
But anyways, tucker Carlson, man he talking about there's a possibility of World War III happening in the next three months. I think we can all agree that between now and the election, shit's just going to be wild. Nobody saw COVID coming and you got the BLM riots and Antifa comes out of nowhere, and it's just a—some of it's predictable, but some of it isn't. You know what I mean. But I think it's definitely going to be a rocky next couple of months. What are we in? Six, so we got to 11. We got five months, man.
Speaker 1:
But Tucker Carlson talking about if the US keeps intervening in the war with Russia and apparently the US is directly striking points in Russia. I'm just repeating what he said. It's on. You know, more people that watch their two shows are going to see that than listen to this podcast. But I'm just telling you what he said in case you don't feel like hearing it from them Anyway, because I do make shit sound better. I mean, I was born to talking to it, anyway, listen. So he said that basically the US is becoming more and more involved in Vladimir Putin, who controls his own state media and can kind of hide the fact that the United States is the one behind strikes wherever these are occurring. As long as he can hide that, then it is what it is, I guess. But the minute that that it gets out and the public finds out and it looks like he's weak or he's soft or he can't defend his country or his people, that dude's gonna strike and and and uh, carlson, like verbatim, said you know, uh, that he'd launched tactical nuke into ukraine and and you know who knows in the next three months.
Speaker 1:
I mean, what do you do with that information? When you hear something like that, how seriously do you take it, especially when it comes from somebody like Tucker Carlson, whether or not you find him credible. I mean, he seems to know a lot. I like him. He's got a big following. He seems to back up what he says. Don't get me wrong, I don't fucking stare at his Twitter. Don't get me wrong, I don't fucking you know, like, stare at his twitter. Uh, you know, I don't know what his favorite color is or his fucking birth sign is, or what do you call that horoscope sign. Anyway, what do you do with that? When you hear that kind of information because that goes out to a lot of people, that's had to hit millions by now and however many listen to it, paid attention to it and actually took seriously, man, who the fuck knows? That's up for debate.
Speaker 1:
But when you hear somebody say like, hey, man, you know everybody should be saying that, bro, we could be in nuclear war in the next three months, we do with that. When you got kids, they're younger, you got plans, you got future I mean shit, people got weddings, probably planned four months out. I'm not saying everybody's running around with their hair on fire. I'm not even saying I hope he's wrong and I'm sure he hopes he's wrong. I think he's just speaking the facts and something that I caught that he had said earlier was, you know, just trying to maintain composure, and I think that's important.
Speaker 1:
I think that one of the things they hit on is something that I firmly believe is that, you know, this is not a political battle, this is a spiritual battle. This is indeed the difference between good and evil. You know what I mean, and the Bible talks about this. It obviously doesn't get into specifics as far as the current state that we're in right now, but if I told you 20 years ago that we'd be where we're at right now, would you believe me? I doubt you woulda. I doubt you woulda. I don't believe it and I see it every day, I hear it every day. I try not to pay attention too much because it's it's, it's wearing, you know. I mean, it can wear you down, it can ruin your mood, it could ruin your day with your family, it can ruin, ruin your weekend. You got to be careful how much of this type of shit that you ingest, because it is toxic and on some level, I believe that it's 100% intentional.
Speaker 1:
I was never the best school child or anything like that. I wasn't getting like Asian grades or anything, but I did all right. You know I could comprehend. I just was. You know I always ran with the wrong crowd. You know what I mean, whatever that is. But you know, back in the day, I just I wish I would have taken school a little bit more seriously, but I mean, I vividly remember reading about divide and conquer. I want to guess that's in social studies, probably like fifth or sixth grade. You say that shit to somebody now they don't know what you're talking about. One of these kids, but that's what's happening. That's exactly what it feels like. Get on X, get on any platform. I'm not on anything but X, and I don't even really like being on it, but you know it's part of the process, and you know we're trying to move around a little bit, and so I deemed it probably the safest place to be, because Elon Musk seems to be, he seems like an all right individual. I don't know. Same thing, I don't know his favorite color either.
Speaker 1:
Anyway, when you look at all that, though, and you try to maintain your daily lifestyle and you try to like, what do you do? Do you put up goals? Are you stacking into your 401k? You got money into the mattress water in the cabinet because, prepping man, you try to prep. I'm not a prepper. Um, during covid we tried to stock up, but that shit is hard.
Speaker 1:
You know what I mean, because it's a never-ending thing, and just coming from a military background or even having any common sense whatsoever, I mean Murphy's Law. Well, it can't go wrong, will? So the odds of you buying 100 items and some crazy shit occurring, whatever it is natural, disaster, man-made, whatever the case may be, the odds of you having the one thing out of those hundred that you actually need in that moment are fucking slim to none. It will always be the thing that you need the most, that you do not have. I promise you this is a never-ending. Listen. Anyway, I'm telling you that's the truth. And if you're a veteran or served any time in the military or been a parent or just been at work, you know how it is, man. It's Murphy's Law, bruh. It just doesn't apply to the military, it applies to everything. It applies to daily life of ours.
Speaker 1:
You know, I'm over here rambling and ranting. There's just so much on my mind I don't even know where exactly to. I didn't know where to start. I've been plotting on this for a little bit and I was like man. There's a couple of things. I definitely saw the story about this and then, excuse me, about a poor little girl that passed away. Just that's heartbreaking, man. You hope you never have to, obviously, right. I don't need to expand on that. You get it, especially if you're a parent.
Speaker 1:
Um, again, if I find the gofundme for that, if, or if one develops, I don't know he's a pastor in the church and the church tends to take care of one another, so maybe that's why there's not a gofundme. I can appreciate that because, in all honesty, man, I feel like sometimes people abuse that shit. They abuse go fund me. I think I went off on a rant about this. I just don't feel like yo. If you get shot committing a felony, you shouldn't be able to get a motherfucking go fund me. You just shouldn't. I. I bet, if you looked hard enough, there's probably some chomo out there right now with go fund me trying to get bail money and GoFundMe allows it, but whatever. Anyway, just that kind of guess.
Speaker 1:
We started out on a heavy note. I want to end on a light note somewhat. I'm just going to kick my damn desk. This is my new equipment, man, we're working on it. But anyway, one thing I did kind of want to end on is I don't know how many of y'all have ever tried to write comedy or have thought about getting up on the stage cracking a couple of jokes. It's different, it's different.
Speaker 1:
I don't know how many of y'all write in general, but for me, as someone I've written, I've been through this, but I'm going to tell you again in case you're a new listener, and if you are, we appreciate you. If you're from the UK, man, hey, real quick, let me shout out the UK, because for some reason or another, motherfuckers in the UK like Texas Terry, and that's dope to me. Whatever, you know what I mean. I'm not going to like bow to the queen or anything. Oh, there's so many topics and so little time and I don't want to take up too much more of yours, so I'll just get to the final point of this and we'll catch y'all.
Speaker 1:
The next one, but man, essays, uh, just short stories. Long stories, opinion pieces, uh, raps, poetry, you name it. For the most part I've tried to write it or have written it, sometimes successfully and sometimes not so much. But writing jokes is a different craft and I don't feel like you can watch videos. You can watch stand-up comedians that you're unfamiliar with, or just watch people in general, see what they do here, what they do there, you can get into all that. But when you're kind of trained not professionally, at least not for me but when you're kind of trained to write a certain way, and then you start getting into comedy Not professionally, at least not for me but when you're kind of trained to write a certain way, and then you start getting into the comedy, it does make it a little bit weird as far as trying to create a punchline, does that make sense?
Speaker 1:
Probably boring the shitty out of you at this point. Listen, I'm just telling you I'm trying to do a lot of things here and I want to see a lot of success come from these new ventures. And I want to see a lot of success come from these new ventures. I definitely would appreciate if you tell a friend maybe they tell a friend about Special App Radio. Catch me at SpecialAppRadio at Outlookcom. Subscribe on X. I know I'm Russian, I apologize, Trying to keep it under 30 minutes too, and I'm also really excited to play the outro of this new joint, but not for real man.
Speaker 1:
We're trying to make this thing grow. Stand-up comedy is still on the table 100%. I am developing, but I'm like I kind of want to. I know you can't tell from the podcast, but when I get up there on stage and in person and don't get me wrong, I, I put time into this podcast too. But when I get up there in person and on stage and I and I and I want to start telling these jokes, man, I want to make an impact. I want somebody to be go home and quote me. You know, I mean, maybe those are high expectations for somebody that's going to be doing it for the first time, but I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1:
Eventually, hopefully, uh, we're going to make our way down to Austin. I'm going to try my chances of getting on Kill Tony and get it moving. It is something that's serious. The podcast is still 100% important to me. I enjoy doing it. I hope you enjoy listening to it. You got to branch out. You know what I mean, especially when we only got three months left to go. No, I'm kidding, or is it, I don't know man, just a matter.
Speaker 1:
I was posted at work earlier and I was like listening to this show and they were talking about this and I was thinking about like I miss it. Like what if you were just posted up in your truck eating your little cheese sandwich or your fucking Prius? Whatever, you were in your Prius eating your kale and your cheese sandwich Can you eat kale? Do they mix that Anyway? And a fucking like a rocket is just flying across the sky. I mean, what would you do? Would you pray? Would you call someone? That's a tough, tough. We're going to expand on this more tomorrow. I just want to touch base.
Speaker 1:
Like I said, get a new episode, um and and uh, remind y'all man, hey, just to have faith in God, have faith, and that's something that I did. Actually, you know what? I'm gonna take up like two more minutes of your time. This is just something to me. I obviously it makes me nervous and we all gotta go, kind of thing.
Speaker 1:
But I've always felt like, for some reason, even when I was in iraq, you know, and I'd be on patrol, we'd be on mission and and you know, whatever crazy shit happens all the time and unfortunately in that environment, you get used to being in that environment, you, you get used to explosions, you get used to gunshots. You have to, you have to or you won't survive. You have to adapt to the environment. Right, that's fair enough, easily understandable, I assume. But I always also felt like man deep down in my brain or in my soul. Really, I really felt like God was watching over me and I'm not saying that God wasn't watching over anybody that lost their lives in combat. It just I don't really. I really felt like God was watching over me and I'm not saying that God wasn't watching over anybody that lost their lives in combat. It just I don't know. I really felt like I was going to live through that. And same thing with federal prison man. I really felt like nothing bad was ever going to happen to me, and it's not because I was a punk and a hit or anything like that.
Speaker 1:
Anybody that has ever met me in any kind of way, I think, in real life, you know, whether it be prison, iraq or just out on the street or in the world anyone meet you or meet that that you meet about me or you ask about me you. They would tell you I'm fucking stumbling all over words now, but no, they're gonna tell you, man, I try to keep it 100 all the way around, and that's just the type of person that I am. I don't have time or room for bullshit, but you know, I I believe now, just like I believed in those times, that I'm going to keep faith in God Again. It's a sin to worry. You know what I mean. I forget the exact quote. I can't quote scripture or the verse or anything, but I know that there's a verse that references God takes care of the birds at night, even when it's cold, something to. There's a verse that references God takes care of the birds at night, even when it's cold, something to that effect God gonna take care of you too. Naysayers and atheists or what's the other one? Agnostics, they don't really, I don't know. Fucking rocks God. I'm not gonna clown nobody, but neither here nor there. Point is Just wanna chop it up to you, man. 30 minutes, that's what I said. That's where we're at. We're gonna catch y'all tomorrow With a new episode and expand on a little bit more About this whole Russia fleet Off the Florida coast.
Speaker 1:
My sister actually just happened to move to Tampa Within the last week. I don't know, not that I'm sure that if they fired off a round they wouldn't just shoot it 50 miles, 60 miles, whatever that is. It's just fucked up, man. They're just bullying this old bastard at this point, because they know America is weak. Man, sad to see, sad to see the country just going to shit. Man, just to hell, in a handbasket.
Speaker 1:
I was thinking the other day on my way to work, like man, is this for real we all talk about, you know, like this God's country, is it, though? I don't know if that's true. I mean, I know there's some history with Israel. I don't know where we started telling ourselves that man, because it seemed like America, one of the most crazy places on earth. We just allow everything. Man, you want to chop your dick off? Do it. You want to cut your titties off? Cut those off. You want to think you're a boy but you're a man, but you're a girl? Man, I mean, fuck it. We'll call you juju fruit, whatever the fuck you're into. I mean, this is a weird world, man.
Speaker 1:
I'm going to just end on that note, because I started taking off. You ask my wife if I let go and I start taking off. Y'all going to be here for two hours. No, no, you can shut it off. She can't though. My poor wife, man. She zones out to her happy place place. She's like a little penguin in an ice cave. And then when I stop talking, she's like cool, no, I'm kidding. Anyway, I love you, babe. I love y'all audience, not as much as I love my wife, but I certainly appreciate you. Once again, I'm your host, tex terry, this special app radio. We'll catch y'all on the flip side. Peace, thank you. Bye.
