  • West Texas Cowboy

    I’ve known Kent Hance since 1964 when we were at Texas Tech together and we’ve remained friends oh these many years! He’s a genuinely unique man and his sense of humor is just as genuine. I listen to every one of his stories and look forward to hearing his “saying of the day”!

  • Like hugging a rose bush

    I listened to a few episodes because it was billed as storytelling you could enjoy with your kids. All I heard was conservative false narratives and right wing indoctrination. A great podcast if you refuse to consider there might be another side to the story.

  • Great Entertainment but horse blinder’s on debate

    So enjoy your commentary and storytelling. Your life experience brings much common sense with humor at every turn. Your discussion of the debate and the media coverage hit hard on coverage of Biden’s faults. Just think your apparent bias for the other man on the stage, failed your voice of usual candor. You could have at least mentioned the avalanche of bovine scat that emanated from his mouth? Lie after lie and where was it reported on Fox News of the right choice. Trump’s ramblings are just as... more

    Congressman/Commissioner/Senator/Chancellor: You have the most educational, entertaining and phenomenal podcast. As a member of the Tx Legislature who lives 4+ hours from Austin, my Wife and I listen to your podcast from Woodville and to Austin. Even our Dog Shady likes the podcast and doesn’t complain about wanting to go to the restroom. I have an observation. Why does it seem that when a member of the Texas House retires from the Legislature his/her title doesn’t follow him. But when someone m... more

A $2 Purchase Turns Into $5 Million: Kent Hance on Hidden Treasures, Election Chaos, and the Wild Old West

A $2 Purchase Turns Into $5 Million: Kent Hance on Hidden Treasures, Election Chaos, and the Wild Old West
Q: When you first started polling, doing polling, didn't you just open a phone book and start calling polls?
Hance says his campaign selected names from the top of each phone-book column and repeated the method consistently. A poll taken the week before the election showed an eight-point lead, which matched the final result.
Judge Lee Yeakel part 2
Q: Let me ask you this. Did you have any unusual cases as federal judge, any that had some humor in them, or any that had the criminal cases that had a lot of notoriety?
Yeakel describes a long, humorous tax-fraud case involving an attorney and a whistleblower office manager, with amusing courtroom moments and a memorable acquittal, plus other notable cases including Supreme Court-related questions about immunity and injunctions, showing how the law and courtroom dynamics can generate surprising and entertaining moments.
