Good afternoon, my brothers and sisters. This is DW, the Roadrunner, straight out of Vegas, the Roadrunner Podcast. What do I want to talk about my first topic? Let's do class privilege. Let's talk about class privilege. I was born white and they they try to lay the bullshit out there about white privilege. I don't remember any white privilege that I've ever uh have encountered. I I remember like uh like uh being knocked a lot of times because I was a white person, but I've never ever uh received any privilege because I was white. I uh I don't agree with that. I think it's all horseshit, straight in the wind, just throw it in the wind where it belongs because uh it's meaningless. I don't care whether you're black, white, Spanish, red, green, whatever color you are. It does not matter to me. All I care about is your heart and your character. That's all I care about. If I can deal with your heart and your character, then we'll get along. If I can't, and you don't respect my heart and my character, then I guess we're not gonna get along, and we're gonna call each other out one way or the other. But I'm not taking your shit, and I don't want you to take my shit. I don't want to give shit to anybody who doesn't deserve it. I only give shit to people that tried to stab me in the back that went out of the way to stab me in the back. That's just the way I think. That's the way it is. I'm uh I'm not a normal player. Like I said, I've never worked for anybody in my lifetime. But getting back to class privilege, here's what I here's what I believe. I believe that uh class privil privilege is like uh like uh like a person that goes to a grocery store and picks out toilet paper with flowers on it, like it's gonna make a difference what kind of toilet paper you use. It doesn't mean anything. It's just the better you take care of yourself, the better off you are. The more healthy you'll be. But uh you can't change it from from uh not brushing your teeth and from not not uh washing your hands after you use the restroom or not washing your hands before you eat. You that's how you can change your health. You want to you want to eat with a lot of bacteria on your hands? Go ahead and don't wash your hands before you eat. I wash my hands every time before I eat. That's nothing to do with white privilege, that's just straight from God. I believe that's the healthy thing to do. But getting back to class privilege, here's talk. Let's talk about somebody like that I met at the World Series of Poker, an actor named James Woods. Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about class privilege. When you when you when you encounter meeting somebody like that, they expect to have their ass kissed. They want to have their ass kissed, they think they deserve it. So naturally they think they're better than you. So, as far as James Woods goes, that's exactly what he thinks about meeting me, because I never did anything wrong. All I just said was, uh I said was, is I'm trying to meet Trump. I know you're you're a friend of Trump's. You and Trump get along. I'd just like to be able to meet him if there's any way you can tell him what I talked to you or whatever. And I said, like, uh, I'd even give you a copy of my book and and and uh give you my phone number. I just really need to reach out to Trump. I need to get to know the guy. It's very important because like uh I wasn't just thinking about speaking at his rallies, that was over with. Trump was a president already. Trump won the election in November, 2024, so that's over with. I wanted to meet Trump because I want the I want the federal government off my ass. I want them off my back. I uh currently have uh uh uh the prosecutor or the uh for the District of Nevada, the uh the attorney for the District of Nevada, the prosecuting attorney, is uh is his name's the Gallchatter. So I won't thought that Steve Wilson was the uh was in charge of like having me uh indicted. I know that it was Jason Freerson that that sent out the de the uh the indictment that uh that wanted to set out the indictment, but he's the one who sent the warrant and wrote the warrant for them to come raid my houses and my storage units. They raided them all on the same day. So he's the one who signed the warrant, Jason Freerson. And uh then Trump got elected, and I thought, well, maybe it's all over with, maybe they'll stop targeting me, but that's not what happened. He appointed uh Seagal Chatta as the uh new prosecutor for the uh District of Nevada, the city of Las Vegas. And uh she indicted me. And uh, okay, maybe she indicted me maybe because she thinks I I've encountered white privilege as far as being in the sex capsule business, which is totally ludicrous. There's no way that that I got any privilege by being in the sex capsule business by being white. I was in, I became successful in the sex capsule business because I worked hard and I was energetic and I was stubborn. First book outlisted is Beehive Golden Pond in East Windover, Utah. Windover is actually a uh border town, so it's uh in two states, in a small city of 6,000 people, uh 90% Spanish people. What a beautiful town this is. That's uh Beehive Golden Pond on 479 Windover Boulevard in Windover, Utah. Buy a book there and uh get the free hat along with any book purchase. To purchase my book, go to www.theroadrunnerpodcast.com and I'll throw in that free hat with any book purchase. My title, The Roadrunner in the Yellow Zone, is the greatest title ever created. Without the sun and the moon feeding off each other, there is no life on Earth. That's what really got me uh motivated because now I had the best female pill in the world that eliminates the chance of inheriting breast cancer and tumors for women, nine-tenths. This means a woman lacks a chance, eliminates the chance of inheriting cancer, which is tumors, or breast cancer, which is uh which is which is a form of cancer also, and that's what killed both my mother and sister many years before I ever got in the sex capsule business. And the sex pill business, which my female pill is the best in the world, and it's a pill in pill form on purpose because it gets into the woman's glands and into her breast tissue and cleans it out and adds moisture to the libido area, and that's very important, especially when a woman gets older, because they obtain dryness as they get older. So this is very, very important to me, and what was very important to try to make my female pill, which I call kinky pink, try to make that the best seller and the big seller in America, and and maybe hopefully sell it all over the world. But I knew there's no way that I could sell it throughout America or throughout the world. There's no way that I could get that many pills or or mail capsules in to uh to create my market to such a large market. So I was just strictly in like uh three states, sold in three states, and sold a little bit in Portland and Phoenix, Arizona. But uh that's it. Other than that, I just sold in three states Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. And it was like being in heaven selling sex capsules because I was able to travel through the throughout Utah and Nevada and Idaho. Two of the most beautiful states in America are Idaho and Utah. Utah's the prettiest of all, and it's not quite as cold as Idaho. But I didn't spend much time in Idaho. I only had like a few accounts, you know, and uh just spanned it out and let them have the whole market, whatever retail store I sold to. I just basically let them have the whole town. That's exactly what I did with Boyce uh Joy and Joy and Boise, who ran the Chevron station on 123 Orchard and stiffed me out of$600 on the final bill because he knew I I wasn't in the sex capsule business anymore. So why not stiff me? Why not beat me out of the$600 bill? He's a millionaire, millionaire gas station owner, a piece of shit from Afghanistan. There's a lot of good people from Afghanistan. Don't get me wrong. He just happens to be a piece of human garbage from Afghanistan or stiff me on the bill. And I gave him the whole city of Boise. I never sold anybody but Joy in Boise. Boise, Idaho. Uh they've always got a great football team every year. Boise State. They always have a great football team every year. And uh that's on the way to like uh uh Ontario, Oregon, on up to Baker and on up to uh uh Hermiston, Oregon. Let me tell you a story about like when I was like in uh in uh Idaho, uh Caldwell, Idaho, and uh we burned the gas station. My friend and I, who is my accomplice on the road, and he works in uh Windover. He deals, he deals, he's a dealer in Windover, deals blackjack, and uh still there to this day. So I told him that I'm running a podcast, and I hope he hears this. I won't mention his name. I just uh used uh used uh I used a different name in the book because uh I didn't want to incriminate him. Uh so anyway, we're we burned a gas station in in Caldwell out of like like$20 or$30,$20 tops or$30 tops in gas, whatever you could put in your car at that time. And uh you could buy it, buy the gasoline after you pumped it back in that time. And uh you can't do that anymore. Gas stations wised up to that uh because they had burners, burn artists that came by and bought the gasoline and didn't pay for it. So they got tired of that game plan. They changed, they switched the game plan entirely throughout America. Anyway, after we burned the gas station, we uh we drove off with the uh car full of gasoline on the way to uh Hermiston, Oregon to grab Gary, to get Gary, the the punchboard hustler, who was the best punchboard hustler in the world. And I and I told my friend, I said, uh, let's just uh change our jackets. We'll put the other jackets in the uh in the uh in the trunk. So we pulled off to the road real quick, pulled off to the side of the road after we left the gas station, and uh we we uh put the uh put different jackets on and put our original jackets on that we were wearing. And uh he changed, switched his hat or whatever, quit wearing his hat. So we changed our tire a little bit, and then uh wouldn't you know it, but like five minutes after we do it, we get the cherry lights behind us. We're just I'm just driving like an ordinary, like Monte Carlo nighttime, so it's hard to really tell what kind of car we were driving. They probably didn't really get a good look at it, but it was dark, so they say it was a dark-colored car, but it was a maroon-colored car. And uh the cop pulls us over, and uh he comes up to the window and looks and talks to us and and uh is looking at the clothing we're wearing, and it didn't match, the jackets didn't match what the uh jackets were that we were wearing before underneath the camera or whatever, I don't know. And uh I I I think basically he just let us go. He just maybe didn't want to do the paperwork, but uh I'm not saying that uh it wasn't it wasn't a smart thing to do to change our jackets, maybe it was very smart to do that. But anyway, the cop just let us go and just we drove off and drove off with our full take of gas with hardly a dime in our pockets, and uh we drove up to Hermiston, Oregon, up past Pendleton, Oregon, up through Baker, then Pendleton, then Hermiston. And uh that's where we picked up Gary. And uh I like using the name Gary because Gary's dead now, and he was the best in the world at what he did, so I'm sure that he would be glad if I used his real name. So uh anyway, Gary uh was waiting for us at all times. He was always waiting for me, whether I came with uh an accomplice or not. He was always waiting for me to stop by and hang out and pick him up so we could take our road trip to Seattle, and never ever said no to me once. I always put a replacement drummer on the band where like he could just uh leave uh work like within two or three days after their set was done for the week or whatever, and uh then we'd drive straight to Seattle. He did it every year. And uh there was nothing he loved more that was in his blood more, much more than being a drummer in a band, in a country western band. His blood was like uh indulged and totally committed to the greatest hustler in the world, which was Gary. He was the greatest punchboard hustler that ever lived, as far as I'm concerned. If there's anybody else, I don't think there was, but if there's anybody else, uh if somebody was lucky enough to know him and hang out with them and run with them, uh that's a good thing. Not like the Flim Clan man with George C. Scott and the old movie where they knew the numbers and they uh knew what numbers to punch off the punchboard. They had an inside man that told them the winners. No, that's not how punch boards work. Nobody ever knew what the winners were. That's that's a movie. So that's that was all bullshit. Real punch board hustlers stole the punches. That's what they did. They stole the punches and stuck them down their shirt sleeves or down their shirt pocket or down their back, whatever, to where they had hundreds and up to a thousand punches by the time they finally beat the board and got the big winner. When they got the big winner, then they quit. Took their win, got out. When they're$50 or$100 and winner, and and then they go on to the next place. But you didn't go to the bar next door to you. You went to a bar far enough away to where you wouldn't get heat from the bar you were originally at, and you beat out of you beat out of money. But uh the bars are all cheating on the customer because what would happen is if, say, if they a customer punched the board heavily and kept punching the board heavily, then like uh they'd want to come back the next day and play the same board. They had all the money invested in it. It's like it's worse than being a slot player, wanting to come back and play the same slot machine or never leave it until you hit a jackpot. And uh they'd come back the next day and uh the borrower would say, Oh, we cracked that board. Some somebody came in late at night and beat it real bad, and there were no winner, no more winners on it, so we just cracked it. There was there was not enough punches left on it, and uh there was not enough payouts. And that's how they'd scam the customer. They would always bullshit them and tell them that uh they had to break the board and throw it away. Punches had all were had all been, they'd all they they'd taken all the winners off the board. Well, that's uh that's basically what they would do every time when they'd break the board, because there were a lot of punches gone off the board, but there were still a lot of winners, then they'd break the board on purpose. Absolutely done on purpose, because uh now they're gonna be paying out a lot more than gonna be taken in. So it was a big lockup on gambling and a very high cheating form on gambling that was controlled by the house, and it was all done locally. There was no gaming commission. The gaming commission doesn't mean anything in the state of Nevada anymore, hardly anything at all. The casinos make their own rules to this day, they make their own rules. And uh the gaming of the gaming commission doesn't enforce anything, they're just paid off or just get their salaries and then just don't do their job, don't enforce anything. They don't want to get the casinos pissed off. They wouldn't have a job if they weren't there to watch the casinos, right? And they get paid because they're watching casinos. They're not getting paid by by customers that come in there and gamble, they're basically indirectly getting paid because casinos exist. So why would they want to enforce anything and make it hard on casinos? Make any sense? No, it doesn't make any sense at all. And that's uh that's why it's uh it's on tilt, the gaming commission in Nevada. Well, then well, these bar owners were worse than anything to do with the gaming commission because no gaming commission exists with punch boards and the bars running the boards, which happened back in the day. Punch boards are very popular in Seattle and and all the way down to Vancouver, Washington, to the uh Oregon border. That's where the uh Columbia River uh creates the border between Oregon and Washington. So uh any anywhere north of the Columbia River is Washington, anywhere south of the Columbia River, it turns into Oregon. But all the way down to Vancouver, Washington, the punch boards are very popular. And as far as I know, they could have been popular in Oregon at one time, but we never went to Oregon and hustled boards. We just went as far as Vancouver. And that's quite a stretch. That's like 200 miles from Seattle. And uh we covered a lot of territory hustling the boards. We never lost money in one in any bar. I remember losing money, eight dollars in one bar. That's the only bar that we never obtained profit in. And he he took so many punches, stuck them down his shirt, that finally we just walked out. He he thought he was gonna get heat, and he just uh I was watching him, and I was always the eyes watching the uh the rest of the bar. He was always watching the bartender, but I was watching the rest of the people in the bar. And if anything was uncool, I would just I would just say the word Tom in conversation. I would just talk be talking about Tom. The second he heard Tom in conversation, he'd know that I was looking at somebody who was suspicious about him or I and about what he was doing. But anytime I said George in the conversation, everything was cool. And that's that's what we did. So I was always talking about Tom or George, mostly George. And uh he was always watching the bartender, and uh his eyes were always glued on the bartender, that's who he was always, and how he trained himself to watch. But he had to watch other people in the past because he didn't have a spotter like me. A lot of times he was doing it on his own because he was an ex-heroin addict. And uh that's uh how he that's how he hustled to Lutania's heroin, it's hustling boards. And uh sometimes addicts could be become the best at something because they're true survivors, uh, especially a heroin addict. They become true survivors in in whatever environment they lock themselves into or they're locked into. And it seems to be a very small world that a heroin addict is in because how's he gonna get around? He's he's gonna have to ride buses and go back and forth. He doesn't really have a car to drive, or he didn't have a car in the past. And uh so he was like uh locked into a tight, tight area. But boards were prevalent back then when he was a heroin addict. When when I knew Gary, he was like uh he liked to drink, liked to drink the whiskey. And that was his new uh fix after he got off the heroin. So he never really completely cleaned up. And his habit on alcohol was drinking became worse and worse until finally the last last year we ever hustled together, I just we just uh broke the sheets. We just split the sheets and that was it. We never uh hustled together again. And that's about the same time that uh almost immediately after I I went and took a trip with the uh the guy from Windover. It was almost like uh maybe the la next to last time I took a trip with Gary. And uh when we took this trip uh with with the uh with the dealer, blackjack dealer from Windover, we took a trip to uh to meet Gary after after we got away with the gas, which was a terrible thing to do, but survival is survival. And uh we ended up leaving Hermiston. We took two cars. Gary took his car and we took our car. And we drove all the way to Seattle, Washington. Another retail outlet to buy a book is uh Chevron Gas, Liquor and Convenience Store on 1301 East Altman Street. There's two Chevron stations, so make sure you get the right one. That's Chevron Liquor Gas and Convenience Store on 1301 East Altman Street in Ely, Nevada. And you'll get the free hat whenever you purchase my book.

Without the sun and the moon feeding off each other, there is no life on Earth. And Gary Said that uh they had card games in in Cedro Wally, Washington, which is a small town outside Seattle. And uh I I think it was either Gary or myself that said they had card games, but Gary and I had been there together hustling boards, so we knew about Cedro Wally, so one of the two of us knew about the card game in the in the bar in uh Cedro Woolley. And uh so I'll just say he knew about it. I'll give Gary credit, but it I don't know. What I'm saying is, is like we knew about the card game, and uh we took we took this uh hustler from uh Windover to play in the card game. Because he was a fairly good poker player. In fact, I considered him a very good poker player. So anyway, we went to this uh town called Cedar Wally where they eat the mushrooms. The mushrooms go wild and all the locals. And even tourists come there and take hikes back around that country and eat the wild mushrooms. It's mushroom country. Best mushrooms in America in Cedar Wally, Washington. And uh anyway, we took a trip to Cedar Wally, and we go in this uh bar where they had the poker game, and uh we let uh we let uh our friend do the uh get in the card game or play the cards. And uh so we all had a third of the action basically. And uh I had a third, the hustler had a third, and Gary had a third. And uh he got lucky or ran good or whatever, because you have to run good in poker, you can't just be a good player, but anyway, they just obviously played really bad. He ended up beating the game, like it didn't take more than like four or five hours. He ended up beating the game out of like 1,700. I can remember it being like 1,700 because by the time we chopped it up, we both had roughly about uh close to 1,200 between the two of us, and and Gary had the other 600, so it was roughly about$1,800 because when we uh parted, Gary was now, he wasn't hungry anymore at all. He had$600 in his pocket. That's good money for a punchboard hustler. Means you'd have to beat probably about 10 bars, 15 bars out of that money after expenses to have 600 in your pocket. After you paid your motel and your food and everything, you probably have to beat close to 20 bars if you had to hustle for like three or four days or up to a week. So 600 profit in his pocket was a great score for Gary. Gary was no longer hungry. He was he wanted to go back to Hermiston, Oregon to smoke weed and drink. So that's what happened. After we made the score, we didn't go hustling anymore. We didn't keep on going out and making the money. Uh that's always a drawback about working with somebody else out on the road because they don't have the drive to keep rolling with it after they make a score. Full player, punch board, hustler, it doesn't matter. After they make a good score, they want to go lay around and enjoy. They don't want to keep running, running the good roll and uh keep rolling the dice and keep uh making it even a stronger whip. And that's uh that's why I traveled alone mostly, because I always remained hungry whenever I was out on the road. I always tried to make as much money as I possibly could, then go back and relax. Wasn't necessarily making so much money, it was just working the entire area to the best of my ability. That's how I like to hustle. I like to hustle a town and get the most out of the toast. And if I can go to another town, that's great. If I if I went back and I wanted to relax, I did that. But uh I always worked harder when I was alone than I was than I had when I had a partner working on the road with me. Uh I uh I was a harder worker, that's all it boiled down to. I just like I just had a little more drive. And uh there was a great hustler named Rick Johns, who was the best pool player ever in Utah. He ended up being a bookie, and he had incredible drive. More drive than I had. He was he was he was more driven than me. That's why I became a better pool player. That's why I learned how to play with both hands, and that's how he ultimately became a bookie and had a strong following. He was very honest, he always paid, paid off, never stiffed anybody, had a good reputation, and uh he ended up getting caught by the government or whatever, and then uh they made him sell his house or whatever, and he didn't have to do any time, but he had to sell his house, and then he came back and made a lot of money in the future. Great hustlers always come back. That's that's what happens. Great hustlers always come back. I've been down in the dirt a couple times from uh from going broke, and uh to where you're just heart, it's just like taken out. It's hard to come back. And the and the more quickly you come back, the more heart you have. Most people have a hard time coming back after they go broke. In any shape or form. In the business world, it doesn't matter what it is. A lot of people have a hard time coming back after going broke and uh getting put down in the dirt. So he came back real really quickly. Rick Johns, he was the greatest. And uh he could beat me playing pool left-handed, and he played pool right-handed, like I was forced to play right-handed, even though I was naturally left-handed. But he was obviously a hamodextrous also, because he played almost as good left-handed as he did right-handed, and there's only one pool player in the world that I knew could play like that almost equally with both hands, and that was Keith McCready from LA. Harry Plattys flew all over America to play, other pool players, and he beat all pool players everywhere he went. He beat them all. He beat everybody. And made a ton of money, a ton of money. Over a million, two million, whatever. They made a lot of money. Harry Plattys was his backer, his stakehorse. Harry Plattys was a lawyer in Seattle. And he uh he owned a bar. Called, I think it was called the Buzz Bar and Grill. And it was like it had dancing, it had great food, had pool tables, it had all kinds of action, it was fantastic. Harry Platt Steven gave me a job when I came through Canada and I was dead broke. He gave me a job working as a cocktail waiter. And uh that was the only time I was a cocktail waiter, except for one other time in Hawaii, and I'll tell you that story later on. Later on in my lifetime that happened. When I moved to Honolulu. And uh I didn't do that until I was 36 years old. Now, I was close to 30 when uh we made the score at Cedro Wally, and uh Gary went back to Hermiston, Oregon to lay back and smoke his weed and drink his whiskey and playing his band to game and whatever, you know. And uh he lived a good life, Gary lived a good life. He was like uh super ambitious, but he lived a good life and he got by, and uh that's all he wanted. Because he was very glad to be off the heroin. That was like a big win for him. To stay off the heroin was an automatic win, no matter what he did. No matter what he did after he got off the heroin, he was a winner. As far as I'm concerned. God bless Gary. Wherever you're at, if you went to heaven, I hope you did. If you're a good guy, you were a great guy. And uh I never saw Gary after we had that uh last falling out in Seattle when he tried to sucker punch me and missed, missed the punch, and I moved away and dodged him, and I didn't hit him back, I didn't I didn't do anything. I just let him go on his way and go back to uh Hermiston, Oregon, and we parted our ways. Like I say, we split the sheets, no more hustling together. That's it. Yeah, and uh never saw him again. I heard about him through a friend of mine in Ogden, who knew about him and introduced me to him. He's the one who hooked me up with Gary. Another great hustler in Ogden. Not a great pool player, but a great hustler. We went out on the road, and I'll tell you what we did also. He was like uh very good friends with Jimmy Dawson, who was the best pool player in the state of Idaho, out of Pocatello, who uh got hooked on the speed, and he would like uh break into launder mats and uh steal money out of the washing machines and dryer drying machines and uh get the money out of the coin changer and uh rob launder mats. Didn't take long for him to get caught. I mean, uh Pocatello, Idaho is not that big of a city. I mean, uh keep on robbing laundermates and uh get don't get out of the area and go to a different city and do the same thing. The heat's gonna follow behind you real quickly, real quickly, just like this guy uh was gonna get caught that uh kidnapped Nancy Guthrie. And uh let me get back to that in a minute. But after Mark and I uh left Seattle, my sister told me that uh she would give us like uh uh free room on board in her house. Well, we had about 1,200 between us, and uh they had a pool hall and they had bar action down there in Medford, and I heard that the action was good. So I said, let's just drive down to Medford and then we'll work our way back up through Oregon and go back up to uh Portland and uh and uh work our way up back up to Seattle, have a great road trip. So we drove straight down to Medford, Oregon, which was about well, close to 500 miles from from Seattle. It's about 300 miles from Portland. And uh we drove down to Medford and my sister put us up and and uh the next day we went out to uh a pool hall called Riverside Games. And uh I'm just practicing, you know, on a pool table and and trying to get in stroke, playing on a big table, and and uh wanting to get getting dead punched, just try to improve my game as much as I possibly can. And just that's a good thing to do in the daytime when you're a pool player. And I wasn't much at practicing, but but uh I was pumped up mentally now. I mean, we just made a big score and I wanted to make more money, and I wanted to like uh scope the area out and see what was going on and and uh enjoy myself and relax, make some make some scores in Medford. And uh I'm practicing and all of a sudden this beautiful brunette with beautiful green eyes, nice ass, beautiful breasts, just just I'm a breast man and I'm an ass man, no doubt about it. Uh her beautiful green eyes is what hypnotized me and and uh her name was Susan. Guess what her last name was? McDonald. Susan McDonald. How could you forget that name? And uh after meeting her, I didn't want to leave Medford. I mean, I I was like uh I was in lust. Love doesn't come later, right? Well I was in lust. And uh I was like like 30 years old. I mean, like I was like uh I was like I remember that when I met her because I remember this, I'll never forget it. I was 30 years old, and Susan was 18. Not 17, she was 18. And I made her show show her my ID. I made her show her ID to me because I was I was always worried about a young woman, beautiful woman, lying and saying they were 18 and they already weren't, and they were younger than that. And that made me extremely nervous. So I made her show her show show her ID to me, and she showed me, and uh sure enough she was 18. I thought, oh beautiful, I mean uh this is fate. And uh we started shooting pull together and hanging out, and uh we never had sex, we just like hung out. It was like a slow approach. I mean, uh she told me she was not like she was an innocent uh child from Oregon, she was not. She was like uh she was courageous, she was like uh she was living life from a fast lane. And she wanted to live life in the fast lane. She told me that she was going up to do a photo shoot up to Portland, Oregon. I said, Oh man, you know, we're gonna go right back up to Portland also, hoping that I could, you know, we can hang out or whatever. And she says, no, she was going up with uh with friends and uh that we could uh meet back in Medford later on. And uh she ended up taking this trip to Portland, and uh it was to do a sex tape. The crazy thing about it is, is when she did the sex tape, uh it didn't say her name, she was in the sex tape. But uh it was in a DB Cooper special sex tape that had like about 20 or 30 different videos in it. And it had short clip videos in it of all different types of uh uh sex shows, you know, people having sex together, you know, like whether they were couples, they were married, or whatever kind of skits they were trying to present as themselves, and whatever kind of character they were trying to portray. Or maybe it was just having sex. Well, her skit was she was roller skating, and uh how I recognized it was her is I didn't see the tape. I never knew about the tape. I never knew anything about it. I'm 30 years old. Okay, now I didn't see the tape until I was in my late 40s, until I was back in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Back when I was chipping on that crack cocaine. And uh I went into uh uh smoke shop, convenience store, whatever that uh sold the tapes. It was like a it was a sex shop. It was a sex shop. Went into a sex shop and bought the sex tape, bought a few tapes. One of the tapes I bought was D.B. Cooper Special. Cooper Special. It wasn't maybe D.B. Cooper. D. B. Cooper, I take it back. D.B. Cooper, the reason why that name rings in my head. D.B. Cooper is the guy who hijacked the plane, the first hijacker and the only hijacker to get away with the ransom. They claim he he died. He got when he parachuted out above the Oregon forest, above the forest in Oregon, he parachuted out of the plane. The high altitude plane that's up there, like, you know, 30,000 feet, they're supposed to fly. Now, apparently that he had the plane go go down to a lower elevation. I don't know if you can parachute out that high, but check it out, Ivan. Can you parachute out at 30,000 feet? Check and Google it and tell me uh what's the highest level you can parachute out of a plane. Can you parachute when a plane is flying at 30,000 feet in the air? Anyway, he parachuted out of the plane. It was in the winter time, and it was a tremendous storm, and like he uh he parachuted out with a half a million dollars. The half a million dollars he gave him. Claimed or threatened that he was going to blow up the plane or whatever. And uh they claimed that they found a bunch of money in the river, the FBI found a bunch of money in the river that he was killed. But no, nobody ever heard about D. V. Cooper again. D. B. Cooper came from Towilla, Utah. D. B. Cooper was his alias name he used on his ticket. That was not his real name. That was the name he used on the ticket when he purchased the airline ticket to fly in the plane. That's why it was D.B. Cooper. That was not his real name. That was his alias name. And uh other people tried hijacking after D.B. Cooper got away with it. And uh, I don't believe that he was he died when he landed, and I don't believe that they ever found the guy. I believe that the guy got away. I believe that they were just trying to uh take away their shame and say that uh he died and they found money in the river. I think it was all bullshit. D. V. Cooper, my brother's friend, Bill Pappa Nicholas, who was uh pretty much the same age as O.J. Simpson, was like uh, I think uh a couple years younger than O.J. Simpson, or real close to that age, he was a third string running back for UFC, Bill Pappa Nicholas. The second string running back for USC was Marcus Allen. And the first string running back for USC was OJ Simpson. So they had some incredible talent, as a running backs USC at this particular time, place in time, Bill Pap. Bill Pap and Nicholas was Pap. That's what people always call him in Salt Lake. He's the third string running back, so he didn't get to play much. Nor did Marcus Sallum. Ivan, thank you. That's uh 10,000 to 14,000 feet recreational skydivers can jump out. So I'm sure he had the plane fly to a lower level before he parachuted out. But anyway, he landed in a snowstorm, and they they claimed that they found the money in the in the river. I don't believe they ever did. But uh I believe that uh he got away, and I want to believe he got away because why not? I mean, he didn't hurt anybody. But other people tried to get around away with hijacking planes after that, and they all got caught, every single one of them. DB Cooper is the only one they didn't catch in the act. Anyway, Bill Papp named a named a uh bar after uh D.B. Cooper and called it D.B. Cooper's. It was a private club in Salt Lake City, Utah, and it was the most successful private club at its time. And he made a ton of money from that private club, a ton of money. My brother was uh, my older brother, Jim, was his bartender. And uh I'll tell you a story later about that, about how I bartended in the uh DB Coopers. And I wanted to just prove that I could be a better bartender than my brother was, so all I thought about was bartending for about a month, about six weeks, and I became a great bartender. Pouring fifths into the uh into the glasses, pouring like three or four or five fifths into the glasses at the same time. It took more talent to be a bartender in Utah than it did any state in America because the mini bottle, that's what I meant, four or five mini bottles into the glasses each time, not the fifth bottle. Fifth bottle is like what ordinary bars have been running, running, running, uh, selling the liquor for years. That's how they've sold their liquors out of large-size bottles, fifths. But the mini bottles in Utah, the reason why they had many bottles in Utah is because they wanted to keep control over everything. And the liquor stores, there's no such thing as a liquor store in the state of Utah to this day that's not owned by the state of Utah. They're all privately owned. No such, I mean, I mean all government-owned. There's no privately owned liquor store in the state of Utah. Never has been, and there isn't to this day. But the uh the liquor's all sold in the state. They have different liquor stores in each city and they control the liquor sales. But now they sell fifths, they don't just sell mini bottles like they used to. They only sold mini bottles for years and years, and that's all they uh they allowed in the bars. Now, if they sold fifths back in the day, I don't know. I wasn't a drinker back then. I don't know about enough about drinking when I was a kid to go in and buy a fifth. I wasn't 21 years of age. And if I drank liquor, I drank liquor before I turned 21. That's when I drank my liquor. And I think it wasn't fifths now that I remember, because I remember we drank like a fifth that we buried in the uh field back no more than a hundred feet away from my house and 50 feet away from Steve Bulow's house. Directly behind his house. My house was directly across the street from Bullow's house. And uh we buried the fifth in the uh in the dirt and we slept out that night and we went back to the field and uh back in our own space and we we got drunk. And uh that's what I drank liquor. So it wasn't good for me, but I drank and I drank until I got drunk, and I drank until I threw up. And uh that was when I really had a drinking problem. I guess if I had a drinking problem at all, that's when I had a drinking problem when I was 13, 14, 15 years old. And I maybe it was good for me because I no longer had a drinking problem. But by the time I turned 21, I didn't have a drinking problem. I never had an appetite to drink alcohol. My appetite was smoking weed later on. When I was about 25, that's the first time I smoked a joint became in Ogden, Utah. And uh that's when I quit smoking cigarettes. So I was blessed when I started smoking weed. Because I quit smoking cigarettes immediately after, on that same day, I quit smoking cigarettes. Started smoking weed. Big win. Big win, like uh Gary getting off heroin and uh drinking whiskey instead. But uh the incredible thing is, is like I was wild when I was a kid, right? I had a wild nature, and I said, Oh, I wanted to kill Meroni, fly in a helicopter. And I said on my uh recent podcast and then drive off with um with moroni, lapse with a rope and drive off with moroni. Well, I'd obviously never flown on a plane to say drive off because I would have had to fly off in a helicopter, but I said drive off if you ever caught that. So that was my dream to fly off in a helicopter with Moroni, rasping by the neck and uh get away. So obviously uh I was of wild nature and uh had wild aspirations even when I was a kid. And of course that never happened, but just the thought, to have the thought, it's not a normal thought. But uh getting back to Oregon when I met Susan and she took off to Portland and she did that sex tape. She came back, and I ended up coming back. Because like after like we hung out in Oregon, my hustling friend from Windover and myself, we hung out in Oregon for a few days. We we almost went to Portland the same time as Susan went. I thought I'll come back and catch Medford uh when uh when Susan's in town. I don't need to hustle Medford and uh went bar hopping that night, uh like the night before we're gonna leave. We drove like back up there on a Sunday. And I went out bar hopping on Saturday night and dropped Mark off at the pool hall. And Mark was holding our bankroll, like at least a thousand dollars. Another retail outlet selling my book in Free Hat is Hoover Dam and Liquor in Boulder City, Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas and outside of Henderson, Nevada, just south of there on the way to Phoenix. So that's uh 1311 Boulder City Parkway is where they're located. Hoover Dam and Liquor. Go over there to the best little liquor store in the state of Nevada, Hoover Dam Liquor. To purchase my book, go to www.theroadrunnerpodcast.com and I'll throw in that free hat with any book purchase. My title, the Roadrunner in the Yellow Zone, is the greatest title ever created. Without the sun and the moon feeding off each other, there is no life on Earth. I had never ever thought in a minute that anything would go wrong. But anyway, like uh after we uh we left on Sunday, Mark was kind of acting strange. I wasn't talking much or whatever. Like, I don't I don't know, I couldn't, I didn't suspect anything wrong, but like uh finally we got to uh Portnam and he says, I have something to tell you. I says, What did you want to tell me? He says, I went off to Bobby Prince. I lost our whole bank role to Bobby Prince playing pool. You don't have any money left, Mark? Oh, I spilled. Oh sorry about that. Sorry. Okay, well, anyway. I did say Mark, right? Okay, well now you know his name. Okay. So anyway, like I uh I let it out. So now I don't have to say the hustler from uh Windover anymore. I can just say his name. So anyway, I said to him, I said, uh, you don't have any money? You've lost our whole bankroll? I mean of course I was upset. I was extremely upset. He waited so long to tell me because I would have stayed in in Medford, Oregon. This is why I was so hot. This is the big reason why I was so hot. I'd gone broke on the road many times. It's just not the first time that I went broke on a uh on a trip, a hustling trip. This is not the first time, really. But it was so stupid to be in that situation. Now we're in Portland, Oregon, don't have any money to pay for a room. Broke. And we could have stayed in Medford, stayed at my uh sister's place, and I could have slowly got pumped back up. And uh not had the nut to crack about burning gasoline and uh and uh staying in hotels. So when I found this out, I told him, I said, uh, didn't you say you had some relatives in Bend, Oregon? It says, yeah. Les says, you need to go visit them. You need to go hang out and visit them. Okay, because I'm I'm I'm going out and hustling pool myself. I don't have any money to back you playing poker. And uh you're dead weight to me. And I dropped him off on the highway to Bend, Oregon, and he hitchhiked to bend, Oregon, to stay with his relatives. And I never saw Mark for years after that, for years. And I went back to Portland, which was very close to the road that I dropped him off on, and uh I started hustling pool, pumping back up, sleeping in my car, and slowly but surely getting pumped back up. You can get pumped back up if you're sleeping in your car and you're not paying money for motels. Slowly but surely you can get pumped back up. You can have a couple good days and you could have two or three or four hundred in your pocket. But uh I was taking care of number one. After that happened, I didn't want anything to do with him anyway. I just no way. That was that was breaking the golden rule. And uh he's always had a chip on his shoulder ever since then, but that's fine with me. I don't care. Because he never really was my friend anyway. My friend would have told me right off the bat that he fucked up. He wouldn't have waited and had me drive 300 miles and be out in this, uh be out in uh bumfuck to Egypt and uh be stuck like I was, dead broke, when I could have stayed in Medford, he would have he would have manned up and told me what happened. But uh he figured I'd get rid of him right then, so this way he could be stuck with me or I'd be stuck with him. But but uh it backfired on him. He ended up going to bed and staying with his relatives and probably took a bus back or whatever back back to August. That's probably what happened. But I went out on the road myself, and that's basically the last time I ever traveled with anybody other than taking a trip with uh with uh with Gary. Our final trip later on. We'd have our falling out. So it's just best to either travel along on the road or go down the road with a woman. Woman, at least you know, you could uh you can have a good time with and enjoy, you know. And uh just like it just seemed like a much better situation to be on the room with a woman than dead weight. Women aren't dead weight. I couldn't live my life without women. There's I think how boring life would be without women on earth. I mean, can you imagine? The whole world would be fucked up. They would have to like uh watch uh Bad Bunny dance. And uh and some of us would like it, and most of us wouldn't. And that's how brutal life would be, become if we had to watch another man, and that's all we saw. I mean, that's what society is being uh sprung upon. That's what that's what they're springing on society right now. They're springing all this stupid bullshit, like the uh the transsexual in the in the in the in the uh spa, in the uh jacuzzi, Budweiser. They thought, okay, we're gonna go after a uh we're gonna go after another market, we're gonna try to attract another market, and we're gonna stab the American public in the juggler again because we can get away with it. We're power, we're Budweiser. We can market any market we want. We can go after any market we want. We've got the other markets locked up. Well, they learned the lesson after they put that transactional in the hot tub. A lot of Budweiser, like uh distributorships, uh nearly went broke. A lot of bars like uh when order beer, the Budweiser went on strike. It was like uh brutal. Now you see this new ad, you know, during the Super Bowl. The same Super Bowl that uh you saw Bad Bunny dance at halftime. God bless anybody who turned it to uh turned the station and watched Turning Point instead. God bless all of you. I'm sure it was a much better show. And it was much more nostalgic and more much more what the American public would have liked to see, especially like years and years ago when the first uh Super Bowl first started. I mean, can you imagine a halftime show like uh like uh Bad Bunny coming out there and uh in his bunny outfit? I'm sure that gays loved it. I'm sure they loved the halftime show. Well, uh I'm sure the Spanish people even liked it because they can understand what he was saying, what he was rapping about. But uh, this is America. Do we really need uh to have like a guy out there dancing and speaking Spanish? And uh is that what our culture is really all about? Is that what we look forward to during a during the halftime show? Of course not. But they're trying to spring this different culture onto the American people. They're trying to uh encumber us with it, like they think they have the power. They don't have the power, the NFL doesn't have the power. The NFL has borrowed a lot of time that the public has given the NFL. Putting the Black Lives Matter on the end zone, they're doing different sh different bullshit that they're trying to incorporate and trying to promote socialism. It ain't happening. America doesn't want it. It's too bad that they don't have competition. The NFL doesn't have competition. The ABA used to be the NF NBA's competition, and they're the they're the they're the uh uh basketball franchise, the the organization that that they're the league that invented the uh the three-point shot, the ABA. Then the NBA, people were watching the ABA, and it was more exciting to watch. The ABA caught on the NBA caught onto it, and then they stole the three-point shot from the ABA. Then they busted the ABA. Now nobody wanted to watch the ABA because now the NBA had the three-point shot, and they had more talent shooting the three-point shots, so they're making more baskets, so they were more exciting to watch. And that's how they busted the ABA. And that's where Julius Irving got a start. The slam dunk artist. In fact, the slam dunk contest originated in the ABA right before it faltered, right before it went down. The NBA stole the uh the the uh slam dunk contest from the ABA also. So uh sports is is is the rattlesnake business. It's the rattlesnake business for sure. And uh soccer is trying to implement and influence America with uh with soccer. We're trying to influence the young young people with soccer because it's a safer game to play. People youngsters don't get hurt as badly when they play when they play soccer as when they play football. So it's easier on a younger person's joints and their body. So soccer is a natural to uh to promote and influence young America. But uh to me, soccer is a gay sport. I don't I think soccer is the is is the uh most boring sport there is, hands down. It happens to be the most popular sport in the world. But they don't call soccer soccer outside of America, they call it football. But football is so popular in America they have to call it soccer in America. Otherwise, it's called football everywhere else. And the most boring game of all is cricket. Cricket, hands down, is the most boring game of all. And uh it goes down to uh getting back to watching that Cooper special, I guess, on that uh tape when I was back in Atlantic City, but I don't want to tell you that story now, because that's later on in life. I've got other stories to tell you in between that. But uh I ended up going back to Medford, Oregon, and hanging out with Susan, and uh finally we did have sex, and we uh we had intercourse, the very first time we ever had intercourse, enjoyed intercourse together was after I took her out to dinner, ordered a bottle of wine, and we went to uh cemetery, and we drove up this hill to a cemetery, and we had sex with my Monte Carlo in the cemetery. And uh I came like a rocket ship. I thought she was stone cold beautiful. She was just she was just too much, you know. I just I couldn't hold it. Uh she was just gracious. And uh we hit it off real good. And I'll tell you about her later. But after that uh I I saw her after I got pumped up and made some money in in Portland and uh made made a few hundred or three or four or five hundred and went back down to Medford and hung out. Then uh I don't know, I don't remember where I went. I think I went back to Utah, I can't remember, but I think I went back to Utah afterward and uh and uh kept writing her letters and uh finally I went up and uh saw her again. I'll tell you about that story later on. But uh life on the road shooting pool was something else. It was very unique, going northeast, south, west. I didn't have to have a lot of money in my pocket. I didn't never have a lot of money in my pocket as a pool player until the age of 30. Never did have a lot of money in my pocket. But I I lived a good life and uh never stayed broke longer than a day. Within a day I was pumped back up. This went on for years. This went on for years. And uh I played pool until the age of 30, and this is when I when I was basically out of my twilight. Now, I'd already won the Utah Open at the age of 28 and the Idaho State Championship at the age of 28, same year. And uh I obviously wasn't gonna become the best pool player in the world, but uh that's probably the strongest thing I ever did as a pool player, was winning both state championships at the age of twenty-eight, the same year. And uh can't take the money with you, so that's uh my strongest claim to and strongest claim to fame as being a pool player, was winning both state championships the same year. On the twilight of my pool career. That's uh getting back to gambling okay. And getting back to class like uh white privilege doesn't exist to me. Never has existed. Uh anybody who tries to think they have black pre privilege because they can get reparations, whatever, they can stick it up their ass. Because you're wasting your time. Anytime you get anything for free and they give you a gift, you're not going to appreciate that anyway. The only way you can appreciate something is trying to become the best you can be, or obtaining your goal in life and doing what you enjoy, doing what you love. Now, a lot of people don't have the opportunity or don't create the opportunity to do what their true God-given talent is. If you're lucky enough and fortunate enough to fulfill and do and commit yourself to your God-given talent, I guarantee you're going to be a happier person. Man or woman, it doesn't matter. You're going to be happier. And I'm not saying there's not happy strippers out there. There are. But there's much more. For every happy stripper, there's 99 strippers that are miserable. For every stripper that's happy, there's 99 more miserable strippers. And for every happy gambler, there's 99 more miserable gamblers. And I think the reason why I was a happy gambler for years and years, even though I got burned out at times, is because I traveled. I learned how to travel as a as a pool player. So traveling as a pool player taught me how to travel as a poker player, also. How to match up. That was the greatest thing I learned how to play from playing pool was how to match up. And it taught me uh it gave me much more talent. Like being patient enough and searching to find a good woman. I mean, I was I was not impatient. I would not just settle for meeting with any woman. Like I said, I'm an ass man and a breast man. I'm an ass man and a brass and a breast man, breast man and ass. I love a woman with beautiful breasts, I love a woman with a beautiful ass. And I love a woman with beautiful tits. If they've got, if a woman has beautiful tits, a beautiful, beautiful breasts and a beautiful ass and hips, then uh I guess I'm a lucky man because that's exactly how I discovered my wife in Bangkok, Tyrone, because I wrote my book, reading my book. God put me on the path and a beautiful path to meet my wife. It was fate for her to be there at that time and me to be there at that time. And uh hey, Marilyn Monroe was not a uh true blonde. My wife is definitely not blonde. She's a true brunette, straight out of Vietnam. Talk about some beautiful women. Women are beautiful in Vietnam. There are so many beauties in Vietnam. There's beauties in Thailand, there's beauties in China, there's beauties everywhere. They're all around the world. There's beauties in Arabia, there's beauties in England, there's beauties in America, there's beauties in Canada. And uh I haven't spent enough time in Canada. I haven't gotten past Vancouver stuff to learn much about Canada. I need to drive straight through Canada and go up to get my ass up to Alaska. That's where I need to go. That's where I've needed to go for years. And uh I'll get there someday. But uh I'll definitely never write a second book until I've gone to Alaska. I can guarantee that. Because I want to be able to write about it. And not lie about it. Who wants to read lies? Who wants to hear lies? Nobody. Nobody wants to waste their time with hearing lies or reading lies. So I just give you the stone cold truth. That's what my lawyers can't stand. They hate that because they want class privilege. So they think they can shove the bullshit down your throat, but you can't shove it back. That's how lawyers are. That's how people that uh try to put themselves in a higher class in society, that's how they act. And uh call it class privilege. Let's get back to class privilege and tell you how ridiculous it is. We'll start with Nancy Guthrie. Okay, I've been hearing the same bullshit on the news for seven, eight days about Nancy Guthrie getting kidnapped. Nothing but Nancy Guthrie on the news getting kidnapped. Oh, I hope we find her. Well, everybody wants her to be okay. Everybody wants her to be alive. Everybody, you know, if anybody wants bad for her, then fuck you. Okay. But I'm saying is everybody that's that's got goodness in their heart wants to see Nancy G Nancy Guthrie safe and and to be able to go back to her family, even though she's 84 years old. You know, and she shouldn't be away from a restaurant. She wouldn't be she'd she's on a heart machine. She's like uh she's if she's still alive, it's a great, it's a good thing, it's a great thing. But I'm saying now, this uh class uh privileged bullshit that they're laying down the public's throat if her daughter, Samantha Ga Guthrie, was not a famous newscaster, you wouldn't even be hearing about Nancy Guthrie. So the public, the the news is basically getting the public to help solve the case. Well, they should have a m a special news station for kidnappings, just a s one special news station for kidnapping. So I think it would be a great cycle of news to have nothing but kidnappings on that news station and help the public uh help save help help like uh help solve crimes. It would be fantastic to have a special station just for kidnappings. And we can have that special station that take care of all the kidnappings for the young kids that get kidnapped that nobody hears about and they don't talk about on the news. If they had a special station just for kidnappings and just run that station for nothing else but kidnappings, I think it would be a great thing. I think it would be a good thing. And it would would help the public and get the public involved to help solve a lot of cases. Put out the reward. You know, put out the reward for somebody legitimate that found gave valuable information to help solve a case. I think it would be fantastic. But to hear the same thing on the news on a daily basis. I mean, this is this is all like uh Waters talks about on primetime. This is all he's talked about for seven days is uh Nancy Guthrie, the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. I mean, come on, is this what the American public wants to hear about constantly? Maybe their ratings are really good. Maybe the maybe that's why he keeps talking about it. I don't know. But I believe that class privilege is a little bit exaggerated. And uh I learned that when I tried to meet James Woods. Famous actor James Woods. Well, he never got an Academy Award, so I mean uh if I wanted to be an actor and I didn't get an Academy Award after all those years, I'd be a little uh dissatisfied. I I think that would be the greatest thing as an actor, and not all the money you make to get an Academy Award. I think that would be a beautiful thing. But uh there's no reason for him to act like a big shot when I try to meet him and try to give him my number and says, no, I don't want to talk to you, no, no, don't bother me, don't you know And I just like uh shrugged it off, but uh I accepted it. I accepted the fact that like and I've seen him on the news, you know, act like Mr. Nice Guy on the news, and he's a real laid-back individual, and he like he's a real strong Republican, and he uh and he claims like his really good friend that was uh murdered. Uh he was a guy that uh was all in the family. The guy who got murdered by his son. His son stabbed him to death, stabbed his mother to death. And uh he was like uh Rob Reiner. That was his name, Rob Reiner. Well, he claims that James Woods claims that Rob Reiner was his great friend, you know, very good friend. He got along with other liberals that were his very good friends. It's all bullshit. There's no way that you can have a liberal friend and be great friends if you're conservative. If if if you are great friends, then you never talk about politics whatsoever. And there's no way that a strong liberal and a strong conservative can keep away from talking about politics, especially if they're close. So behind closed doors, they often obviously talk about politics. And I know I'm I'm for sure a person of knowledge when it comes to politics did not bring me and my family close together. Even though I'm the strongest Trump supporter in my family by far. I mean, I I drove all the way back to Mar-a-Laga to try to meet him. I was willing to speak at his rallies. I I've followed Trump since 2015. Uh he's the one who got me involved in politics. He's the greatest motivator I ever had in my life when it came to getting becoming involved in politics. He's the only person I ever voted for in my lifetime, other than Romney, because I hated Obama. And the only other time I ever voted in my lifetime before that was for Ronald Reagan when I was 25, and Ronald Reagan ran for a second term and won 49 states in America, only losing the state of Minnesota. So I was never involved in politics as a gambler. Gamblers don't care about politics. We don't care who the president is, we don't care who our senator is. All we care about is gambling. That's all we cared about. That's all we cared about is gambling. And that's what I th that's how I thought when I was a gambler. And I didn't become a hardcore gambler when I was 25 years old. I was just getting started. But after that, I never voted again until I voted for Romney at the age of like 52 or 53, whenever he ran against Obama for Obama's second term and Obama won. Pulled it out at the end of the uh race and beat Romney. Because Romney is uh like uh uh a loser as far as like uh being able to make people keep believing in him believing in him and his agenda until the end because people saw through Romney. They saw he was weak-minded. He can't decide which put the foot to put in front of the other. He's not he's not sure. He's not committed like Trump. Not pot committed. It's like playing pot limit Omaha. Once you get committed to the pot, you're committed. You know, you can sometimes you uh put all the money in the pot, all your money's in, you can't even bet on the ripper. That's what pot limit will do. It'll bust you quickly. More quickly is actually a more powerful game than No Limit. No Limit is bullshit. If No Limit Poker or No Limit Hold'em was played as a pot limit structure, it would be a much better game and be much more strategic. And I can't wait till a poker room pulls their head out of their ass and starts a pot limit hold'em game. It should be played in every poker room in America. No Limit is not that uh strategic compared to pot limit. Pot Limit by far is the hardest game of all to play. Pot Limit Omaha. Let's get back to class, okay? I don't mean to get be off the beaten truck, but uh that's how I am. I talk and I love to talk, and I've lived a very notorious life, so roll with me. Enjoy it. But uh getting back to class ac action, class privilege is that's just like total bullshit. Uh as I say, people that are higher in a higher class, they expect better treatment. But I'm gonna tell you one thing very strong. In God's eyes, there is no famous person. Any famous person has no greater contact to God and love from God than any person on earth. God does not care about famous people any more than he cares about a person, a bum out on the street that's like uh living in a box or that's uh surviving day to day. He is equal in God's eyes, just as James Woods or anybody else is in God's eyes. So all this fame bullshit doesn't mean anything. It's meaningless. Just like autographs are meaningless. So when James Woods had the opportunity to meet me, and I had the opportunity to meet him, it was blown. For one strong reason. One person thought he was of a higher class than me. And there's nobody of higher class than me. I'm the roadrunner. I'm not of higher class than anybody else on this planet either. But that's just the way it is. And that's how God looks at it. And if you're close to God and you believe in Jesus Christ and he died for our sins, then uh you're a lucky man, you're a lucky woman. But if you don't believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, or died for your sins, I can guarantee you that he did not die for your sins. Jesus Christ only gave his energy to those who believe in him. And Jesus Christ has given any person, every person on earth this opportunity to have this belief. If they don't have this belief, then Jesus Christ will not wait his waste his energy forgiving you. Because he knows you don't believe in him dying on the cross for you. So therefore his forgiveness is wasted. Because you're a wasted energy and all that comfort that you live in in life, and you have the comfort zone and you're living a good life, and you're saying, Oh, I'm so comfortable and I live such a good life, and I have nice cars, I have my house and it's paid for, and I don't have to worry about uh uh going broke, and I'm gonna live a nice, comfortable life until the day I die. Well, that's sadness if that's all you think that you got going for in you in your lifetime. Because if you quit believing in Jesus Christ and believe that our Creator created this beautiful planet for you to enjoy and put Jesus Christ on earth to die for your sins, then you've lost in life. And Satan's got you by the balls. Or if you're a woman, he's got you by the clip. That's sadly true. And let me tell you something, God gave a woman a much stronger aspiration to enjoy sex than a man, because a woman's clip has 5,000 different nerve endings, and a man's penis only has 1,500 different nerve endings. Now imagine that. And I believe that he gave women more enjoyment for sex because women have much more pain. Women have to have a baby. A man doesn't have to have a baby, even though these woke Democrats won't admit it. They want to say, oh, man can get pregnant. Well, they're full of shit. They say that because they don't want to lose their funding. That's why they uh they're that's why they're afraid to say on national television because democratic politicians have no balls. They never will, never have. They're born to be liars. That's why they're Democrats. They have to lie. They have to lie their way out of the potato sack. They have to ride the paternal truck. They have no choice but to lie. They're forced to lie. And that's why they don't believe in voter ID. Because the only way they can win is for their for the voters to be able to cheat when they're voting. That's that's it's that simple. 80% of the American public wants voter ID. That includes Democrats and Republicans. Take your car to Zach Call's Urban Auto Works on 1010 North Stephanie Street, Suite 1A. I can guarantee it'll be the best mechanical work that will ever be done on your car. It's a personalized uh job for them. It's not a game of numbers. They're conscientious on anything they do.

Take your car to Zach Hall's Urban Auto Works on 1010 North Stephanie Street, Suite 1A in Henderson, Nevada, straight out of Vegas. Anywhere in Las Vegas you live, take your car there. You can't go wrong, you can't miss. To purchase my book, go to www.theroadrunnerpodcast.com and I'll throw in that free hat with any book purchase. My title, The Roadrunner in the Yellow Zone, is the greatest title ever created. Without the sun and the moon feeding off each other, there is no life on Earth. It's the Democratic politicians that try to vote against Jim Crow that don't want voter ID. They're the ones. It's not that hard to obtain a legal ID, a photo ID. It's a necessity for anything you do in life. To buy a bottle of liquor, check into a motel room, uh, pretty much buy any anything of uh to go to a football game, you've got to show your ID and buy tickets. They want to know who's buying those tickets in case there's any kind of crime committed in the future. So you nearly need your ID for everything in life, including driving a car. And if you're able to drive a car at the age of 16, how can you not be able to be able to get an IT, uh, obtain an ID and vote at the age of uh, what's the voting age, Ivan? It's 21 or 18. What? Voting age. 18. You're able to vote at the age of 18, you're able to drive a car at the age of 16. There's really no difference. It's it's it's equally uh, it's much more important to be able to vote legally than to be able to drive a car legally. And if you can't obtain a driver's license to drive a car, you can't drive a car, right? Well, the same thing with voting. And I ain't falling for any bullshit. You know, the Democratic politicians try to encumber on the American people to say, oh, uh black people can't uh uh go out and obtain an ID. They can't get there, it's not convenient for them. And don't tell me that black people aren't smart enough to do it, because I've known black people that are way smarter than me. Way better in school, way better at math. Great poker players. I've I've seen some black people that can play poker like champion level. I've seen white people that play poker at champion level, Spanish people, Chinese people. Oh, don't forget the Chinese. They're extremely smart at math. They grew up with math. There's people from all over the world, all over Europe, that can play poker like champions. Some of the smartest people in the world play poker. And there's some of the laziest people also. But getting back to like uh uh this class privilege. It's all bullshit, it's all horseshit. It doesn't mean a thing. Nobody better than anybody. Nobody deserves class privilege over anybody else. And if the baby gets kidnapped, the youngster gets kidnapped, the public needs to hear about it also so they can help solve the crime. That's why they need a national news station strictly for kidnappings. And they can talk this uh Nancy Guthrie all they want. But uh I love Waters Primetime. I've loved watching Waters Primetime. For the last seven days, I've been bored to death. I mean, because I get enough of Nancy Guthrie otherwise. I mean, Nancy Guthrie should be talked about on news here and there, but not the entire news cycle. Crazy. I mean, there's a bunch of Peyton place seekers uh in America and throughout the world. They all like love the Peyton Place scene. I can bet you that uh that you can't get a room in Tucson, Arizona right now because people would have driven from all over America to hang out in Tucson, Arizona so we they can be on top of the Peyton Place ship. I'll bet you it's hard to get a room in any motel in Tucson, Arizona, not just because it's great weather. I'm sure that a lot of people have found it, made an excuse to go to Tucson, Arizona, including newscasters, because they can enjoy the good weather and enjoy the news cycle. It's all about Nancy Guthrie. And all about this piece of shit, this wearing the mask. It's like uh, I guarantee you, it's it's it's it's a Spanish guy. It's a Spanish guy because it's it just it's it strikes me as a Spanish guy. I mean, there's just no way that that uh Spanish guy, you know, Spanish people are very street smart, but they're not sophisticated, you know, and it just strikes me it's a Spanish person, but I'm sure that it's gonna come out that uh that uh who it is. You're gonna say, okay, I said this on the 11th of February, okay? This is when I'm doing performing this podcast, the 11th of February, because I'm not a newscaster. I don't have to do things up to date. That's not my style. But just mark my words, okay? But that's that's not a very strong pick. I mean, I it's like picking the Seattle, uh Seattle Seahawks over the uh over the uh New England Patriots and betting even. That's about what my analysis is. It's like betting that game even that it's a Spanish person. The same comparison. So that's all there is to it. I just I just believe it's a Spanish dude and and uh it's it's uh more than one person involved. And uh I hope that Nancy Guthrie's okay, but I'm done talking about it. Okay, and I'm done talking about James Woods, he's a piece of shit. And uh I don't care who his socialist friends are, and I don't care if he's good friends with Trump. Because as far as I'm concerned, they're all social climbers, including Trump. He wants to hang out with people that can benefit him. If he wanted to hang out with a real uh real Trump lover, somebody who would sacrifice like uh his livelihood for Trump, it would be me. He would, he would, he would try to meet me. Because that's exactly what I did. I put myself in harm's way. Who cares if I had a weed habit and smoked a joint and I got smoking a joint? I ran into the wrong cop and they threw me in jail. But I'm saying this is like I risked my neck to go out and meet Trump. I wrote him cards every day. I I never heard from the guy. Now I could go to the Trump Hotel in Vegas and uh try to talk to his uh general manager and tell him how badly I want to meet Trump so I can get this uh cat off my back. Because uh it doesn't have anything to do with white privilege why I sold sex capsules. Sex capsules would have been much easier for me to sell if I was from India and I had Indian descent, because most people that run smoke shops and gas stations in America are from other countries, especially India, countries of Saudi Arabia, uh Iran, Iraq, wherever. There's good people everywhere, so I don't care what race anybody is. I get along with everybody, and I like to treat everybody like they're my brother. That's how I am. And uh anybody who looks at it differently, kiss my ass. And that goes for this goo, what's her name? Uh Goo Heisman, what's what's her name? Goo, the skier, the champion skier, the freestylist who got two gold medals and a silver medal. And she represents China. She's 22 years old, so she's old enough to know better. Hey, I would I would say I'd like to give her a swift kick in the ass straight to China, but that's I'm not gonna say that, okay? I don't want to get in trouble for that. So what I'll say is this I'll buy her a plane ticket to go to China, one-way ticket to go to China and never come back. Because anybody who would talk their shit and talk bad mouth Trump after they won a gold medal, okay, and they want to talk their political bullshit, kiss my ass. You're a piece of garbage. You're born in the same city from you're from the same city that Nancy Pelosi is from, the bitch from San Francisco. You're both bitches from San Francisco, a young bitch and an old bitch. But you're gonna end up the same way if you don't change your ways. The good thing about it is you're young enough to change your ways, but I doubt that will happen because, you know, people just don't change. They just remain the same, they just get older. That's all there is to it. My family's proven that. They haven't changed. Eileen Gu, the bitch from San Francisco. Like I said, I'll buy you a plane ticket, one-way ticket to China, just promise not to come back. And uh what else can I say? I can only say that uh it's been a great, great uh time so far doing my podcast. I mean, this is my 17th podcast, and uh I love doing this and I I enjoy it thoroughly. I've had my lawyers come after me and uh the ones that uh that I am taking the district court pursuing. Well, I happen to say good things about him in my book because at the time I thought that Matt Johnson was my next best friend in life, other than uh Abdullah. And And uh so I wrote good things about him as a person and his law firm. I wrote about it. My book was published in 2023, September 2023. And uh I don't never change my book. I will never alter my book, my first edition, The Roadrunner in the Yellow Zone. It'll stay and remain the same, no matter how many copies I sell. So he got the good part. He got the good part of the ship. But he befriended me, Matt befriended me when he introduced me to Mike Snaff. So I still continue to think that Matt was my great friend for almost a couple years until I finally saw the light. It took me a long time to see the light. I would send Matt pictures when I'd go over to Vietnam and visit my wife and uh send him texts and just like call him on the phone, say hello or whatever, and just, you know. And then all of a sudden, like it just dried up, and I saw the light. And then I just said to myself, okay, all right. Now I know what kind of guy Matt is, and uh I've all I've always known, you know, like what Mike's like after the first year. I knew what Mike was like. He went for like 14 months without talking to me on the phone or returning him text after receiving my$150,000 retainer and being paid in full. Can you imagine that? Paying him on September or August 9th, paying him on August 9th, 2022, giving him his first$30,000 check and giving him his final check on July 9th, 2023, and never receiving a text back or a phone call back when I reached out to communicate with him. I thought that he was paying off, I thought he was paying off the prosecutor. That's what I thought. I mean, why else would he wouldn't he communicate with me? So I just shrugged him underneath, just shoved him underneath the rug and just said to myself, okay, I mean, there's got to be a reason why he's not communicating with me. Maybe I'll just stay out of his way. And uh then I got raided in November. Fourteen, fifteen months after I gave him his uh his first$30,000 check and gave him his last check in July. Another three months go by, so nearly 15 months from the time I gave him his first check, never communicated with me one time. What a piece of garbage. Now, like uh they sent me an email saying, oh, you know, we don't want you to run any more podcasts or talk about, talk about us on your podcast and all this, and da-da-da. And I warned him, I told him, I said, hey, you know, if you don't give me back my 150,000, I'm warning you right now, I'm gonna badmouth you in public. I'm gonna tell the truth about you. You stole my money and you don't want to give it back. It's not your money. When are you gonna figure that out? You never give money to a Shashler lawyer. It's like giving money to a hooker. They don't want to give it back. They'll try to find every excuse in the book to keep it. That's exactly what they've done. So let me arrest my case and say that uh white privilege is meaningless, has been meaningless to me for my entire lifetime. And uh I've never received any privilege by being white. And uh that's probably because I'm straight from the street. Maybe I've never had a legitimate job. I was able to step up a corporate ladder, but uh I don't believe in class privilege either. I think it's all bullshit. In God's eyes, we're all equal. So I rest my case and I thank you for listening to my uh 17th podcast. Look forward to talking to you soon. I'm on my way to California for a trip to play poker and go get the money on the felt, and I'll be back here in a week. So enjoy, and like I said before, and I'll say again, and I'll say every time, if you get bored in life, get a dog. Go adopt a dog at an animal shelter. They're waiting to meet you, they're waiting to see you, their heart is beating for you, male or female. A dog is a dog, you can't tell the difference between a female and a male. The only difference is a female won't pee on the wall. So if you don't have a backyard, maybe you're better off with a female dog. You won't pee on your wall. If you have a backyard, maybe get a male if you want a male more. They're all equally from God, it doesn't matter. So go get yourself a dog from an animal shelter, because a lot of them don't stay alive very long. They don't have long to wait for you to pick them up, meet them. Other than that, God bless, take care. This is the Roadrunner, straight out of Vegas, the Roadrunner Podcast.
