WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.919
You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety
seven to one. The freak Zach Effron's

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.119
in town and we're about to tell
you about it. Uh. In thirty

3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.240
minutes, we get sports at seven, I get some Ranger stuff. It's

4
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.719
a little interesting. There's some leftover
Rangers things that we should get to before

5
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.480
you know, evaporate. We'll always
talk about them. I've been sitting on

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.960
this story about Austin hedges for two
weeks. Now let's go. And I'm

7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.320
putting my banana down and I'm I'm
doing it today. I'm also just looking

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.960
around the room and saying things that
I see or have heard. Say something

9
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.280
right now, I heard Zach Efron's
coming to town, and then I just

10
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.200
saw a banana. Close your eyes
and shake your head, shake like shake

11
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.479
your head, and then just when
you open them, just say the first

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:52.200
thing you see, cigar, that's
awesome. Say yeah. Now he's doing

13
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:57.479
a w C Field. Say at
w C Fields here impression list. God,

14
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.880
dang it, I'll just add it
to Danny's list. Green Day tickets.

15
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.719
At eight o'clock, you'll get to
team up with Danny or Mike Siroy

16
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.640
as they go Mono e Mono and
music Madness. Who will play the music

17
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:21.879
the Madness Monster card. We'll find
out at eight o'clock. Buckle up,

18
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:27.719
pick me gonna be a midweek wildling. Before you get to MI, I

19
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.560
t we were talking in the previous
segment, bitch, by the way,

20
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.680
we start every show every day at
six am. It sounded like you said,

21
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.959
by the way, by the way, start every show. See I

22
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.959
do it too. I start talking
like my homies. Yeah, you know,

23
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.480
just kind of fall into that because
that's how I talk when I'm not

24
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.120
on the air with you guys.
That was kind of a topic topic of

25
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.799
our conversation is how we kind of
pick up accents, you know, the

26
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:02.519
difference in accents and people Hispanic people
use proper pronunciation in the flow of being

27
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.159
very a neutral dialect, kind of
like Mario Lopez, and we talked about

28
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:10.960
him a bunch. It's funny that
to see my two and a half year

29
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.159
old start recognizing differences in color of
people now, and the little kids are

30
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.479
unfiltered. They don't know it's everything. Everything they see is brand new to

31
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.319
them. And I told you guys
yesterday that we were we went to Chick

32
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.840
fil A over the weekend to mainly
see the chicken Robot. And there's a

33
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.120
little play area and he went in
there and there was a Hispanic grandmother with

34
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.960
her two grandchildren and they were playing
in the little playroom and she loved Malcolm.

35
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.400
She thought they were hilarious. He
thought he was hilarious, and she

36
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.280
wanted to talk to him, very
thick Hispanic accent, and she was,

37
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.639
you know, talking to him,
and she pat him on the head and

38
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.159
in her accent, trying to communicate
with him. He looked up at her

39
00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:04.639
and looked at me and he goes
taco shop. Oh my god, really

40
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.199
yes, And she about fell over
laughing, God, looked at you,

41
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.639
Yeah, it goes taco shop,
because I'd take him to the taco shop

42
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:21.439
and the ladies people that absolutely and
he recognized her accent, you know,

43
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.280
from the Hispanic ladies behind the counter
at taco shop. And immediately just put

44
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.360
two and two together and said,
this lady's from taco shop. I'm like,

45
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:37.479
brow, yeah, that's funny.
We we I think we just tip

46
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.360
of the iceberg, a very interesting
topic. We may need to bring that

47
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.080
one back and kick it around,
just that whole we just want And I

48
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.240
thought JJ's input was amazing. I
think you're absolutely right that we're just trying

49
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.560
to blend in and impress people and
make people not hate us. At the

50
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.000
time, it doesn't get talked about. Yeah somebody, somebody asked, uh,

51
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.879
or they texted. I always ask
my Hispanic brethren what language they think

52
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.479
in their head, and then I'm
like, yeah, dude, that's the

53
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.960
hardest thing to me about trying to
learn a new language, because if you

54
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.519
grow up learning a specific language,
Spanish, that's the way you think,

55
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.759
Like the objects that you see,
those are the words in our minds.

56
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.079
If I think of a Spanish word, it immediately I try to translate it

57
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.199
into the English word. And for
true people are truly bilingual. Yeah,

58
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.800
and they are able to do both
and which they don't even think about it.

59
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.519
Yeah, right, So just I
suppose, like us having a thought,

60
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.680
Yeah, but theirs is slotted into
a language. But are your thoughts?

61
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.839
Do your thoughts even require language?
It's the importance of learning that from

62
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.839
a being a kid and taking classes
on it. I mean, you can

63
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.920
take the classes, but you still
never be as good as someone who's just

64
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.000
been speaking it casually out of a
classroom type environment. Or like, I

65
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:05.839
know a couple who they are.
One of them is of Mexican descent,

66
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.240
and they're like, we speak English, but our kids are going to Spanish

67
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.720
speaking school, but we speak English. They'll notice speaking English at the house,

68
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:15.879
but they're going to be a Spanish
speaking school. Kids are under the

69
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.519
age of five and so they go
to school, a Spanish speaking school.

70
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.800
Now they do have Mexican background in
their families, so maybe that you know,

71
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.000
but they speak English at the house. I guess it'd be hard for

72
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:34.120
you because you're you're not technically bilingual. But almost the greatest gift you can

73
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.959
give to a little kid, I
think is to teach him probably Spanish,

74
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.000
well, golf and golf and car
racing. I mean the best golfers.

75
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.560
I know they started in an early
age, but if that's forever anything,

76
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.040
but then you lead to crazy parent
who wants, you know, over coaches

77
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.959
their kid on any sport or anything. But to teach a kid a language

78
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.920
when they're in those first five years
is such a gift. And that's the

79
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.800
only time I think you can get
it. Yeah, to do it conversationally.

80
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.839
My grandparents and my mom wanted us
to speak Lithuanian, which I could

81
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:11.600
probably help us if we were in
Vilnius together. But I don't speak Lithuanian,

82
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.199
and I really wish they would have
done Spanish instead, But they are

83
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.000
full Lithuanians and they don't want that
language to die, and it's obviously a

84
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.439
lot rare so that was a priority
for them. But God, I would

85
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:27.199
have loved And my mom's fluent in
Spanish. You know, did you pick

86
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.399
up so you your mom is fluent
in Spanish? Okay, so you grew

87
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.480
up before you came to Texas,
you had a fairly decent base level understanding

88
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:41.759
of Spanish. Yeah, you spent
five seven years in Colombia before they immigrated

89
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.240
to the United States. I don't
know if that was something that you,

90
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.439
you know, boned up on when
you got to Texas. Miami is pretty

91
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.879
uh yeah, obviously. You know, is there a big difference in the

92
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:59.439
Spanish that Cubans speak as opposed to
Mexicans or in Hispanics. I I'm not

93
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.079
pretty similar enough to know that.
I mean, yes, I would think,

94
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.759
and I imagine they were all there, they would all say very much

95
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:11.519
yes. I I I don't detect
the nuance of language A language that I

96
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.720
don't speak fluently enough to be able
to tell you that answer. Cool.

97
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.759
The most important thing in the world
is now in North Carolina, they kind

98
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.319
of so far by theist. You
know, are you doing your Robert duval

99
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:32.360
again? Eating ice cream? The
longest time you had a second line?

100
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.199
All you need is I put on
a special pair of match tires, I

101
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.360
mean a special set of match I
put this on a special set of match

102
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.240
time and then and then finish it
with a you can hold you can't hold

103
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.079
the line cold. There you go, and now you have a nice,

104
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:54.439
well rounded, big, beautiful Bobby
Duvall impression eating ice cream. That right,

105
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.720
No one's arguing you got that down. That's still the trademark signature phrase.

106
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.000
I closed my eyes and I think
Bobby's in the room when he says

107
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:11.439
eating ice cream, ice cream is
the is Robert Duvall's. It's Connor All

108
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:18.639
I have yeah, take it away. KT leaves and Bobby Duvall steps in

109
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.519
here. Every time he says that
most important thing in the world is uh,

110
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.160
can you feel it? Can you? Can you feel it in the

111
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.560
air. Something's different about d f
W today, and it's not that your

112
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.759
world series champion. That's been a
week. That's old news. Has it

113
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:45.000
been a week? A week today? Yeah? Yeah, we still pinching

114
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.240
myself a little bit. Weird sports. We can do a little of that

115
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.399
because I was kind of hit me
yesterday and I got not life or Ranger

116
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.799
man, but I'm like defer Rangers
of the h Like we're in this damn

117
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.799
tornado and then it ends and you
take a breath, and then the parade

118
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.039
and then it's now what not now
what as far as what moves they're gonna

119
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.440
make? But oh my god,
they did it, Like that is what

120
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.519
you were waiting for forever. Yeah, it's like now you want to wake

121
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.879
up and make the Rangers breakfast in
bed? Now what do I yeah,

122
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.759
take a shower, and they just
want to not think about baseball for two

123
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.559
months before the pictures and catchers report. Yeah, shortest off season has ever

124
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.840
had baseball too much? Not for
the fan of heart. We also need

125
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.519
to I think we should pimp out
Ben Rogers's essay that Channel eight posted,

126
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.559
which I think is fantastic. Don't
call him an essay. I don't care

127
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.120
how comfortable you are. Right,
It's a good, long read and well

128
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.519
worth your time. I actually I
haven't ready yet. Yeah, it's posted.

129
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.480
Yeah, it's a it's a jerker. Yeah, it's just a little

130
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.720
bit longer than the text he sends
us. Sometimes it really is good.

131
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.360
That's great. He's gonna writing talent
as well, the talented young Man WFA

132
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.360
dot com. Ben Rogers can be
heard here ten to two each and every

133
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.519
day right around ninety freak. But
that's not the most important thing in the

134
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.559
world. The buzz. I'm feeling
it. Yeah, I'm feeling it.

135
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.039
I started really feeling it last night
around six o'clock when I got a phone

136
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.159
call. That's right, Yeah,
because guess what plays were made. You're

137
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.279
not the only a lister on the
dB. Bruh. Well, I thought

138
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:33.879
the Giant the Ironclaw premiere that is
tonight, which has zach Efron and Jeremy

139
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.720
Ellen White and Lily James all in
town. I thought it was an a

140
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:46.000
list event. Only now I hear
that you guys are probably going so anyway,

141
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.320
we got big names in town.
This is really cool, man.

142
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.399
This is a movie about the Vaughan
Eric family. It doesn't come out until

143
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.960
December twenty second, and unlike JJ
lives in this world, this is probably

144
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.000
the earliest before premier date of a
movie I've ever scene in my life.

145
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.639
Yeah, I don't know what is
it? No November eighth. This is

146
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.879
gonna be a big movie. I
don't know, it's gonna you know,

147
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.480
it's gonna maybe it feels bigger because
this is a Dallas story but not coming

148
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.200
out till December twenty second, and
they're shooting for this to be a big

149
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.639
old Christmas movie and we get to
see it six weeks early. Man,

150
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:26.159
I'm never I've never done this,
you guys, especially nothing like a gala

151
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:33.639
red carpet event with the you know, the the top build actors are going

152
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.519
to be there. Yeah, I
mean I talked to our buddy over at

153
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.480
Texas Theater last night, and this
is a huge deal. They're they're bringing

154
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:50.360
their own media group that is filming
and covering the the red carpet event and

155
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.639
all of that stuff. National media
is in all likelihood gonna cover this stuff.

156
00:11:54.039 --> 00:12:00.159
They're shutting down Jefferson Boulevard around that
hole. Yeah. Yeah, So

157
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.240
he recommended to get there early if
you if you plan on driving. Yeah.

158
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.519
I was really wondering what the vibe
is gonna be tonight. It's gonna

159
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:13.039
be it's gonna be legit. I
wouldn't show up in flip flops and and

160
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.039
shorts and a tank top. Hate
that part. When was the last movie

161
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.679
premiere that's ever been here in Dallas? Right? It's crazy because we're in

162
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.080
major city. No, I mean
like one of those JFK movies, or

163
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.559
maybe maybe JFK did I don't know. Probably I know back when the movie

164
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.919
a couple of years ago with What
Women Want, the one which Taraji or

165
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.879
What Men Want when they remade you
know, kind of remade for what Women

166
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.799
Want from Gibson, Traji p Henson, Eric Abodua is in it, and

167
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.679
she showed up to the screening.
It really wasn't a premiere though. It

168
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.519
was just like I mean, it
was early screening and they did kind of

169
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.120
a little small red card but she
did a couple of interviews and then talk

170
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.759
to the audience. But it wasn't
a big premiere. Yea, she's you

171
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.840
know, a legend here in Dallie. It was, you know a little

172
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.679
different, but it wasn't like this. I went to Crazy Film and I

173
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.519
believe it was that Gosh Angelica or
Magnolia one of those spots and It was

174
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.759
about probably five or six years ago, and it was for a movie that

175
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:16.200
Ethan Hawk uh produced, directed whatever, a movie called Blaze about this country

176
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.360
singer called named Blaze Foley from back
in the seventies who was like really good

177
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.519
friends with towns Van's aunt died whatever
kind of a legend Texas legend, but

178
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.799
he made this movie about him and
he was there with the lead actor,

179
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.360
this guy named Ben and I got
to attend the screening and talked to Ethan

180
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.279
Hawk and asked a question and the
you know, the after the film they

181
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.639
did a Q and A. So
that's the closest thing that I've ever been

182
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.399
to. But it wasn't a premiere. I think they did a couple of

183
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.240
a handful of screenings that day and
and Ethan was at I think all of

184
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.879
them. So this is that's the
closest I've ever been, you know.

185
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:52.639
The six A two text came in
and said, how does this work with

186
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.840
the strike going on? Which is
a very good question because there's certain films

187
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:03.600
that are getting permission from SAG yeah
to be able to promote there are projects

188
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.559
in their films, which is this
was probably one of them, which is

189
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.039
why the actors are doing interviews and
showing up to the red carpet. So

190
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.200
that's a good question. Okay,
it's gonna be cool. It's gonna be

191
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.000
a cool night for Dallas. I
mean, these are these are big stars,

192
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.759
and this is a Dallas story,
you know. And I'm I didn't

193
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.639
grow up here. I grew up
watching some wrastling, but I watched The

194
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.639
Hulkster, you know, and the
Iron Chic, Like it wasn't the von

195
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.039
Erics, weren't I heard of him? But this did not mean to me

196
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.000
what it means means to people hearing
this right now, Like a lot of

197
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.480
people this is it's the Cowboys and
the damn von Erics. And maybe it

198
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.480
was just that big chunk of time
in the mid to late eighties, but

199
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.919
they're huge, man, They're huge, iconic family, and it's a sad

200
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.639
story. I think ultimately this movie
is gonna be the story of Kevin Van

201
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.000
Eric, who is the living von
Eric brother. And it seems sort of

202
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.559
stupid to do so, but I'm
gonna reset just real quick, because just

203
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.840
last night I watched a one hour
Vice documentary about the Von Eric so I

204
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.720
was pumped for this tonight. Yeah, the debut of The Iron Claw here

205
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.720
right in town where. Yes,
very cool that they chose Dallas, obviously

206
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.159
it makes sense, but to do
this huge premiere and yeah, it's like

207
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.600
the saddest story. I think there
was a total of six von Eric brothers,

208
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.120
all brothers. The eldest, who
is very rarely mentioned, died when

209
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.200
he was six years old, electrocuted. He touched like a trailer that was

210
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.559
some reason, electrocuted and fell face
down in the snow and drown. Unbelievable,

211
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.000
right, And then the next oldest
is Kevin. That's the one that's

212
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.720
still living. He lives in Hawaii, although I heard some things about he's

213
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.960
moving back to a ranch here,
but he wanted to get the hell out

214
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.600
of here. And you'll know why
if you either know the story or watch

215
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.120
this movie or hear anything about the
family. So I think it's going to

216
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.480
feel good at the end. Look
it's on the TV behind you. We

217
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.320
got the iron claube and thrown up. Look at him. And then the

218
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:06.279
other brothers, Mike, Chris Carrey
all died by suicide. But before that,

219
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.679
David von Eric was the second brother. I think he died in Tokyo

220
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.360
of some very bizarre uh ternitis.
I think it's called inflammation of the small

221
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.399
intestine. But there was questions is
the drug related, and they're like,

222
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.440
no, it's not. He died
of He died of was frightening, but

223
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.960
natural causes. Mike died of of
pill overdose. Carrie died by shooting himself

224
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.639
in the heart on his dad's ranch. What I'm at Lake Louisville, I

225
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:38.039
don't said. Maybe that's where the
dad's ranch went. Maybe where he went

226
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.679
and I hugged his dad went and
took his dad's gone. And this is

227
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.399
carry von Eric. This was probably
the most famous one of them. He's

228
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.480
the one that did you know,
eventually go to w w F at the

229
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.919
time and all this, But man, it's just brutal of a story.

230
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.000
And I want to play one little
cut of audio and it's from Kevin von

231
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.480
Eric, the living von Eric,
right, and this is sort of past

232
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.279
all the I mean, this poor
guy. You know how often he's asked

233
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.119
to talk about this. That's why
I moved to Hawaii. He's like he

234
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.880
literally goes and sits in a tree
every day with his beautiful kids and now

235
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.400
his grandkids, and his life is
great. He's like don't be confused.

236
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.279
My life's amazing. But to lose
this many people, your family, five

237
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:22.079
other brothers, all dead due to
tragedy, I can see how you'd want

238
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.400
to get out of here. And
here is Dallas, Texas. Too many

239
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.319
ghosts here, man. Yeah,
yes, Now this is audio of uh

240
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.559
it's from Vice, and I don't
know. I just found it very interesting.

241
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.079
And it's about Kevin right toward the
end, after all his family died,

242
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.839
and he's he thought about do I
now complete the circle? And he's

243
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.000
considering suicide, but then he says, look, I'm not taking my own

244
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.440
life. But he's like, I
want to go to jail. So he

245
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.720
was in Lubbock and he's he goes
into a rifle shop and he's just gonna

246
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.839
steal a gun, knowing that he'll
get arrested. And I just thought it

247
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.519
was really kind of a poignant,
poignant moment. So he's a little mumbly

248
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:00.640
how he talked. But that's why
I wanted to set it up there.

249
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.559
There you go. So what happened
with you after this? I mean,

250
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.000
obviously you went through a really difficult
period of yourself. I thought I was

251
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.599
doing my best, and I was, but I was mad and uh,

252
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.319
and there was a time I thought
that I wanted to die. You know,

253
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.680
I wanted to be dead, and
I know it when you'na kill myself,

254
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.559
but I just wanted to fight anyway. In prison felt like the perfect

255
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.279
thing for me. I was going
to steal a gun because I knew how

256
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.200
much people hate guns. If I
stole one, that's prison. Lo and

257
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.000
behold. I tried in a love
a gun store with a bunch of good

258
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.400
old Texas men in there. I'm
gonna steal that gun, and the old

259
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.039
man owned stops looking right at me, put it down my pants and my

260
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:48.480
stiff leg walked out of there.
Or I stopped and looked at him,

261
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.839
like you got something to say.
That's when he just looked at me like

262
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:53.720
an old man. Didn't say anything
for a long time, just looked at

263
00:18:53.799 --> 00:19:00.240
me, and I looked right into
his eyes. He said, here,

264
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:08.559
keV man, I'm thinking sure.
And I went out in my car and

265
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.759
I just thought about the magnitude of
what just happened. When I came in

266
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.359
back in that store, gave him
his rifle and hugged him. I said,

267
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.960
oh, look too, and all
those other men were in there.

268
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.519
Man, it was a great day
for Texas, A great day for Vaughan

269
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.759
Eric. I needed. That's so
bad. I wanted in life to get

270
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:37.200
as bad as it could be.
Gosh, Jesus, I mean that is

271
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.359
dark, dude. I love going
that A great day for Texas, though.

272
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.920
I mean, he's in Lubbock,
that's so far enough from here,

273
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.839
and these three guys are just watch
him steal the gun, and that's all

274
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.039
they say is love you, keV, knowing what he's been through, and

275
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.839
like, whatever you're looking to do, you're not gonna. We're not gonna

276
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.720
call the cops and get you here. Not here. I don't know.

277
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.519
I wonder if that'll be depicted in
the film. Probably not, I don't

278
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.599
know. But anyway, the film
is tonight. It's the Iron Claw doesn't

279
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.000
come out till December twenty second.
You, unfortunately are not invited. Hah

280
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:15.640
haha. But we'll tell you tomorrow
if we. If JJ chases zach Efron

281
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.920
around the Texas Theater, he's gonna
body this role. I think he's gonna

282
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.079
he's gonna be playing Kevin. He's
people don't know. And then Jeremy Allen

283
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.799
White's gonna be Carrie. Oh my
God, I can't wait. I sight

284
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:37.960
I've actually talked to a good buddy
of mine that somehow clandestinely saw a rough

285
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:44.160
cut of this film weeks ago.
Really yes, and he said it is

286
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.319
pretty heavy that a little a little
bit of his review was some of it's

287
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.920
a little bit on the nose,
but it's Hollywood, yeah, and they

288
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.799
have to do that. But overall
it's that you're it's it's pretty ripping.

289
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.960
I mean, it's six brothers,
five of them, on to tragedy,

290
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.279
like how can you make it?
And I think by focusing on Kevin,

291
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.680
that guy who just heard as the
one that made it and the life that

292
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.440
he's now given to his kids and
grandkids, like that has to be the

293
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.920
merry Christmas vibe, as this is
going to be a Christmas release, But

294
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.960
man, I'm with you, it's
like, how do you how do you

295
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.359
not just sit there cry and go
home? And I bet they nail it.

296
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.400
So anyway, Iron Claws tonight,
big celebs are in town tonight,

297
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.039
and I think that's pretty damn neat
the Texas Theater Beautiful. More on that
