CAPTAIN BOB PODCAST REVISITED



Captain Bob with Favorite Fruit
Admittedly, Robert Sanchez was not on my radar last week as a potential guest on the Whine with Cheez podcast until Erasmo messaged:  "What about Captain Bob?"

My only encounter with Mr. Sanchez was just after his drunken introduction for Jessica Puente Bradshaw at Cobbleheads a couple months ago.

After the intro, Robert extended his hand: "I love you man!"(That was my only interaction ever with the man except for some internet exchanges about his ill-fated run for County Judge as a Democrat.)

Once on the podcast, Erasmo teased the Captain about his inebriated intro:  "Do you even remember it, man?" Castro asked.

"Where were you that night?" I asked.

"Cobbleheads," answered Bob.

After a softball question about Tenaska, I asked Bob about the clandestine dropping off of a bag of "ones" on his doorstep during his County Judge run in 2018.

"At first you said you were given $600 to help pay for your $1,250 filing fee, then changing the abount to $1,000, 'all in ones.' "

"You said Tad Hasse gave you the money, but then changed it to Rebecca Gomez. By the way, none of this made it onto your Campaign Finance Report where you listed $0.00 contributions, $0.00 expenses."

"Why are you digging up this ancient history?" Bob asked, very much annoyed.

"Bob, this was just last year, 2018.  It's not ancient history," I added.

"Why wasn't it on your Campaign Finance Report?  Who gave you the money?" asked Erasmo Castro.

"The community gave me the money," answered the Captain.  

"The community?" laughed Castro.

Bob mumbled something about "internet bullies."

"Who are you saying is an internet bully?" asked Erasmo.

"Is Jim an internet bully?"

"No.  Barton's ok. . . And I like Rrun Rrun, but Jerry McHale has been wrecking this community for three decades.  And where is he from, San Diego?" Bob asked rhetorically.

"McHale is not from here.  Bobby's not from here.  Where are you from Erasmo?  Why are these people not from here having so much influence in our city?"

"I'm from Brownsville, dude," answered Erasmo. 

"But, are you racist, man?" Castro continued.

"No, I'm not racist," Bob answered, reaching for his vaporizer.  

In a few seconds the table was covered with a fine mist of particulants, obscuring the view.  Instantly, Martin and Angelita Leal, owners of the coffee house, ordered Sanchez to shut off his E-cigarette device.

An online viewer asked Sanchez about his wife, triggering some veiled references to someone he didn't like much.

"Are you talking about Rene Oliveira?" Castro asked.

"What did he do to you?"

"You know what he did," Sanchez replied.

"And, if he ever runs for office again, the same thing will happen to him as last time," added the Captain without explanation.

Sanchez shook our hands as he left.  All in all, he'd been a pleasant guest, a nice young man, for the most part, unless asked a difficult question.

  1. Trump Attorney General William Barr's attempt to misrepresent Mueller's findings and intent have been fully exposed today. His 4 page "Mueller Report for Dummies" was a scham. Even Fox News commentators are now blasting Barr. His tenure and effectiveness as A.G. are now another Trump punch line. Lying Billy Barr belongs in prison. Just like John Mitchell.

  4. Robert Sanchez is a good man. He loves Brownsville and the citizenry of Brownsville. When he drives in his 150 thousand dollar Jaguar and is at a stop light. He gives shrimp bucks to homeless people so they can enjoy succulent gulf coast shrimp. Thank you Robert Sanchez. I wish all men were like you. The world would be a better place!

  5. There were hungry kids at bridge being detained at ports of entry. Captain Bob made sure all kids would not go hungry and delivered truckloads of mariscada plates from Captain Bob’s Seafood. The kids were appreciative and should much love and respect to the Captain. God Bless Donald Trump And America. And may God punish the evil bloggers, with the exception of the Honorable Duardo Paz.

  6. Hilarious. Trump got caught in another lie. Now they are walking back their comments. You can’t fix stupid people like Trump.

  7. Erasmo's technical glitch explanation for not posting the podcast sounds like a total lie. Why trust him at all for anything?
