What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston? Non-CR thread
Nice Guy Eddie replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
Mafia style business surrounding the former Turkey leg hut restaurant. Looks like the main culprit will spend some time in prison. Someone with good story telling and interview skills should fire up a podcast series. Lynndell Price and Nakia Holmes were the married couple behind the restaurant. April 2020: Price allegedly pays accomplices to set fire to a stolen 1975 Chevy Nova. (Who is driving, let alone steals a 45 year old Nova?) June 2020: Bar 5015, owned by restaurant partner Steve Rogers, is severely damaged in an arson attack. (The status of this is the latest news. See below.) July 2020: Rogers sues Price and Holmes for financial misconduct and seeks a buyout of his shares. December 2022: US Foods sues Turkey Leg Hut for over $1.2 million in unpaid invoices. January 2023: The restaurant is reported to owe approximately $50,000 in unpaid rent and late fees. February 2023: Rogers files another lawsuit, claiming Price and Holmes defaulted on a buyout agreement. November 2023: Holmes announces her separation from Price, citing emotional and mental abuse. She subsequently fires him and other staff members from the restaurant. December 2023: Holmes files for divorce and seeks a temporary restraining order against Price. March 2024: An early morning fire damages the restaurant's business office; the cause remains under investigation. A court orders Holmes and Price to pay Rogers over $931,000. Turkey Leg Hut files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing liabilities exceeding $4.7 million. April 2024: A second fire occurs at the restaurant's warehouse; no injuries are reported. June 2024: A bankruptcy court issues a temporary restraining order barring Price from the restaurant premises. September 2024: The Houston Health Department shuts down the restaurant due to 35 health code violations. November 2024: Turkey Leg Hut officially closes; its signage is removed. April 2025: A federal grand jury indicts Price on charges related to the 2020 arson incidents. Price is arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit arson and using an interstate facility to commit arson. There is video of dudes pouring gasoline all around the bar before setting the fire. It’s like out of Goodfellas except with Ring cameras everywhere. Crazy. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2025/04/25/former-owner-of-turkey-leg-hut-arrested-after-federal-grand-jury-indictment-for-2020-bar-explosion/ -
I find the $7m story sad. Maybe she didn’t need to go YOLO with the money but someone should enjoy their wealth while alive even giving it all away. Perhaps if you find yourself at 60 never having spent anything, you have no idea how to do it.

Religiously, I am kind of in a rut (am I alone )
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Clintonaldo's topic in Cloak Room
If someone is trying to get out of a spiritual rut, I would first ask them why do they want to get out of it? Maybe that is where you are meant to be. perhaps the problem is the idea that one must be spiritual or religious. And instead of worrying about or trying to fix it, continue as-is. If someone is meant to be on a spiritual path, they will find themselves there without forcing it. -
Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Don Johnson's topic in Football
You have to wonder if there is a chance he doesn’t get drafted at all. Does a GM and owner want to take on the circus drama of the Sanders family for a late round pick? Do you want to deal with Deion publicly and constantly declaring that the starting QB should be benched and replaced by Shedeur? I have to guess that someone will draft him because why not. -
I’m not sure there is a significant US market for this. I guess I could think of a use case or two for an average American needing it but there would be more use cases where it fails. as for cost and reliability, I guess you’re right but that’s assuming a lot. I could say that I’m developing a new car that legitimately rivals a Lamborghini but price it at $30k all while it has higher reliability. Easy to say and create AI images of it, but difficult to deliver.

In 2024 there was plenty of talk that the stock market was overvalued when companies were reporting great numbers. Now every US industry is looking at lower numbers and we have consumer confidence dropping at alarming rates. Even if trade deals were quickly created, I don’t see how the damage can be undone. Let’s say the EU and China lower barriers to US products, will they even want US products? Buy American is on the verge of becoming toxic in America. It definitely is if the company associates with Trump.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Nice Guy Eddie replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
I’m not an expert in startups, debt or how they raise funds but this seems fishy to me. recap: Elon valued xAI at $80b (btw, he had no concrete justification for this) before the company absorbed Twitter last month. Twitter was valued at $33b in equity with that deal. Twitter and Elon also carried ~$13b debt which he has to raise to buy Twitter in the first place. today (cnbc link): Elon now wants to raise $20b from new investors valuing the combined company at $120b. It’s Elon’s claim that perhaps as much as tens of billions were created in immediate synergies even though the 2 companies previously had zero constraints from working together. The synergies should have already been realized even if they could be created. Conclusion: Elon couldn’t manage the Twitter debt reported to be upwards of $1.5b annually all while Twitter revenues plummeted under his watch. Add the Tesla sales and stock price worries, I see Elon as the guy at the casino ATM pulling money from his credit card and heading back to the blackjack table. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Exactly. Perhaps VY didn't live up to some expectations as a #3 pick but that doesn't exactly equate to "didn't work out." He went 30-17 in 47 starts. 9000 yards passing, 1400 rushing. Accounted for 58 TDs. Colt played for double the years but his stats are much lower. Who's to say who had a better NFL career. Obviously if the success bar is starting QB super bowl rings, HoF, most passing yards, etc., then few make it to that level. -
Markets still falling like whoa
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
Elon somewhat stepping back from the spotlight can help Tesla sales. I think that many potential Tesla buyers had enough and won’t come back. However a slightly quieted Elon + refreshed Tesla models + lower some price = increased sales, relative to today. -
Markets still falling like whoa
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
I’m a fan of MO and PM dividends but I think they’re horrible companies. I have to think that we will soon see a glut of bourbon in the near future. the distilleries have expanded and started up over the past decade or so, and have been storing more barrels than ever before. Tastes always shift and I could easily see bourbon failing in terms of popularity. And not that everyone will turn away from bourbon but I can see supply greatly outpacing demand. All good news for someone who likes bourbon. -
Markets still falling like whoa
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Llano Estacado's topic in Business and Markets
I've heard similar theories about the potential cliff ahead for alcohol bev companies. Studies show that 20% of Americans account for ~90% of alcohol sales. With the "top" 10% the vast majority. There are signs that GLP1 drugs can curb alcoholic tendencies as well as overeating. If just half of alcoholics could be successfully treated with these drugs, the alcohol industry would collapse. I guess it's theorized to be the same for soft drinks and snacks. -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Nice Guy Eddie replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
I don't see how a test of auto-taxis in Austin will help Tesla. I'm sure that Musk has his fans in Austin but at a scale, he must be wildly unpopular there. I'm not a fan of Uber but I would use them all day long before stepping into a Tesla Taxi. I'm wondering how long we have (12-18 months?) before Tesla formerly merges with his AI company. Musk is more about raising money and creating excitement, and there is zero excitement around Tesla right now. A car company that isn't selling cars cannot maintain this valuation much longer. An AI company can support a higher PE value. -

Your post had me check PEP vs KO. Over the past year, KO is up 20% and PEP down 18%. Why the discrepancy when they had tracked closely for the previous 4 years? Has Pepsi made some missteps along the way? -
Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
Nice Guy Eddie replied to PenelopeWitherspoon's topic in Cloak Room
From how he acts, I mistakenly thought Markwayne was ex-military. Now that I learn that he inherited his business from his dad and fought in a few MMA fights, it all makes much more sense. -
Shannon Sharpe accidentally live on Instagram Live fucking "Michelle"
Nice Guy Eddie replied to immamac's topic in Football
I don’t disagree that a young woman wouldn’t want unless I was paying. Which is the same with sharpe now. -

Nice Guy Eddie replied to immamac's topic in Football
100% serious. I’m 50 and single and wouldn’t go near a woman under 30. Trust me, you’re in the minority in wanting to date a near-child but that’s the type that are the loudest. -

Obviously not illegal but why mess with a 19 year old when you’re in your mid 50s. Maybe find someone who wasn’t in high school within the last year. -
Senior Citizen Issues - Assisting Your Parents
Nice Guy Eddie replied to ROFL BOX's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
Not saying this is your situation but my elderly mom would become verbally abusive to contractors or condo workers after her drinking would get to a certain level in the afternoon. Perhaps they showed up at 1:30 when they had communicated 1:00 so it set her off. A few times I had to intervene to get workers to complete their job because she had kicked them out the day before. I also believe that she had a few run ins with neighbors while in that state. -
Like others, I feel so much better when I lose 10 lbs but I can talk myself into being bad with food for a few weeks and gain 5 back before I know it. Crazy how we so often don't do want makes us feel the best. I've also noticed that many have talked themselves into saying that they look the best when they're overweight and how bad they would look if they dropped to their high school/college weight. Perhaps I don't want to be at 140 like at some points in high school but I'm not happy at 180. for reference, I'm 5'9". Not to mention that almost every study says its much healthier overall to be lean. Talking about people in 1st world countries.

Senior Citizen Issues - Assisting Your Parents
Nice Guy Eddie replied to ROFL BOX's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
sorry to hear this. Like you're realizing, she cannot live on her own any more. Maybe she can survive without burning down the house or severely injuring herself but that's a low bar. A 10-12 year old could most likely manage that but you wouldn't want them on their own either. -
The state dept wouldn't be responsible for relations with the 51st state. Well, actually Canada would become a US-territory, like Puerto Rico, to keep them from voting.

Maybe but I think the overall market would flip out if Trump started controlling the Fed. It's not like Trump would appoint an industry respected candidate. He would appoint someone with two qualifications: loyalty to Trump and willing to do whatever Trump wants. And it wouldn't stop with Powell. Trump would start to go after each Fed board member who pushed back. Can you imagine a Fed Chair whose main message would be praising Trump?

Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
Nice Guy Eddie replied to PenelopeWitherspoon's topic in Cloak Room
Those kids have the look on their face that they were forced to attend. Most likely they spent all weekend asking Mom if there was anyway they could stay home. Of course, Hegseth couldn't attend an easter Monday (???) at the WH without his kids. -
Presumably this drop is entirely due to Trump's public statements of wanting to dictate Fed actions including firing his appointee, Powell. The relative day-to-day independence of the Fed has long been viewed as a stabilizing force. Obviously President have influence via Fed appointments but since their term is 14 years, one President cannot fully appoint the board. By all accounts, Trump is afraid to fire anyone in person or on the phone. He didn't mind firing Bret Michaels in the Apprentice boardroom but cannot do the same for an actual professional. Not that he's believed to be able to fire Powell, he obviously has the ability to ask for his resignation. Or anyone's. But he's too much of a coward to ask Powell directly.
