Ep. 07: The Mystery of Ben Thompson
B
9:59Bryan BurroughHOST
Here's also where we meet Thompson's brother, Billy, a drunk who Thompson was forever bailing out of scrapes.
B
10:06Bryan BurroughHOST
The meat of the tale is a two-night card game in Laredo, during which a dozen Mexican-American soldiers bet and lost their pistols and paychecks.
B
10:17Bryan BurroughHOST
Thompson was hosting the game, and when he closed it, he faced a room full of angry losers.

An officer stepped forward and menacingly demanded the guns back.

30:09Greg TepperHOST
So I will have to talk about this.
G
30:11Greg TepperHOST
Stock down, let's talk about Laredo and what's going on there in Laredo.
G
30:14Greg TepperHOST
There's a couple of results this week that I thought really surprised me.
G
30:18Greg TepperHOST
One of them, Laredo Nixon loses to San Antonio Southside at home 42-30.
G
30:25Greg TepperHOST
That is a really important game there because for now that boosts Southside into the second place there in 14-5A Division I.
G
30:36Greg TepperHOST
For Nixon, they entered that game, in my opinion, as pretty clear favorites in that game.
G
30:44Greg TepperHOST
Big game this week, it's Eagle Pass win to make sure they don't fall to fourth place in that district because if you take a look at the way that the 5A Division I bracket is going to break out, more than likely if you slip to fourth place in that district you're playing McAllen in the first round on the road and McAllen by the way has given up 44 points all season So, like, that was pretty surprising.
G
31:11Greg TepperHOST
The other one was reported wrong, so I'm not going to waste your time on that.

25:03Daron ShawGUEST
I think the sorts of GOTV efforts the Democrats tend to do in places like Detroit or Philadelphia or Cleveland, it's tough to do that in Texas, right? Even Houston and Dallas aren't Chicago, right? They're different.
D
25:16Daron ShawGUEST
And the notion of block walking in El Paso or Laredo, even in October, it's pretty hot and it's a lot of walking there.
D
25:23Daron ShawGUEST
So it's a nut the Democrats have yet to crack.
D
25:27Daron ShawGUEST
