Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's up, guys? Welcome to another episode of the Parish circuit, the most controversial podcast in St. Landry Parish.
Maybe because we're like, the only podcast in Saint parish, actually.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: Well, no, I think your statement is true. We're probably the most controversial. But what's funny is, like, it's only because we live in a statist society that what we say, which is often very vanilla.
[00:00:31] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:00:32] Speaker B: A bit biblical and conservative. You're welcome.
[00:00:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:35] Speaker B: Comes off as, like, very controversial. But if you played. I mean, look, I'll just be honest. Most of the big news outlets nationally and in our area are very far left.
[00:00:49] Speaker A: Very far. Just have all mega socialist, have all
[00:00:52] Speaker B: of the cultural assumptions, morally, socially, politically.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: And everybody just kind of shrugs and moves on with their day. And a lot of people still trust
[00:01:03] Speaker A: them and they don't think about it,
[00:01:04] Speaker B: which is just so interesting. But if you come along saying just even mildly Christian, biblical conservative things, you immediately become the most controversial news outlet.
[00:01:16] Speaker A: The world loses in the area. And we honestly, in the realm of biblical conservative, Christian things, we haven't even gone that deep.
Like, we've said lightweight stuff.
[00:01:28] Speaker B: But, yeah, it's just a fun, illustrative example that we're able to pull from this.
[00:01:33] Speaker A: Oh, it's such a. Yes, this has been great fun. In fact, today we're going to have some more great fun. So recently we had our most controversial post ever go up from our Facebook account.
And you know what it was about, David?
How great we think Appaloosis.
[00:01:55] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: Well. And put the world wide open.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Not even that, really. Just, hey, for all of you scoffers out there, if I could say the. The real topic of the podcast more, maybe. Okay, go accurately. Yeah, it was. Despite its flaws.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: Despite its flaws, there are lots of
[00:02:15] Speaker B: opportunities here, lots of potential. That was basically.
[00:02:18] Speaker A: That was it. Yeah.
[00:02:19] Speaker B: People were like, how dare you? How dare you say anything good about.
[00:02:24] Speaker A: I know we can't win for losing. Like, if anybody has followed these shows so far, and people are. I check the stats. People listen to this. It's amazing, honestly. But if anybody's followed these episodes so far, the things that they've noticed is that if anything, they might call us too critical. Right. Like, I could see people being like,
[00:02:43] Speaker B: we made fun of Boozy day. Yeah.
[00:02:45] Speaker A: The giving fridge.
[00:02:46] Speaker B: The giving fridge.
Some other, you know, some other things.
[00:02:49] Speaker A: Public housing.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: The moment we say there's some good
[00:02:52] Speaker A: opportunity here, guys, people lose their minds.
So what we're gonna do today, we're gonna do another comment section roundup. So this is one of My favorite things to do on the show is where we just hit the comments and we pull out our favorite ones and kind of talk through them a little bit and see what it is that we've got going on. So, Dave, I'll let you. I'll let you take round one. You've got one already queued up, huh?
[00:03:15] Speaker B: Sure. Well, let's. Let's give a shout out to Lana Swallow.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: Lana Swallow, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:03:21] Speaker B: She's gonna get some.
[00:03:22] Speaker A: The queen of the north.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: Look, Lana, you can pay and subscribe. We have that option now on our site, but we're not expecting that. We're just gonna give you a shout out for free.
She runs a real estate business here, does very, very well. And she's basically like, yeah, I took the opportunity that you guys are talking about. Nobody wanted to touch this region.
At least that's my assumption. And she's running a real estate company, having lots of success. She makes note in her comment that there that she's been saying this for years. Low property taxes, low cost of housing, amazing proximity to cities without traffic congestion, houses with actual yards.
[00:04:08] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: Beautiful land, still affordable prices, all that stuff. But she also points out something that I want to say, and I'll say it now just so I don't forget.
Some people that commented were saying things like, well, you're saying that the roads are terrible, and that's a good thing because it keeps property prices down. And that's not what we said. We're recognizing the flaws. And yes, the two are connected. There's some infrastructural problems. See our previous episodes.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: And that is one of the reasons that property prices are low. And your investment requirements to start a business here would be lower than anywhere else.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: Yes, considerably lower.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: But guess what, guys? What Lana's pointing out here is exactly
[00:04:50] Speaker A: what we're talking about.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: This opportunity won't last forever.
[00:04:52] Speaker A: No, it won't. Okay, so the point that we're making is that because there are potholes and because there is problems with the water system, there is opportunity for people to get in. Now, the water system will eventually be repaired. The road system will eventually be repaired. That's going to happen.
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Sooner or later.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: The question mark is, are you going to get in before the property prices go up or not?
There is no room left in Lafayette.
It is a terribly planned city. Just talk to people who work in city planning spaces. They'll tell you it's a terribly planned city. They can't grow out anymore. The cow pastures that they turned and Rice fields that they turned into housing on the south end of town. Flood all the time. They keep talking about it as a drainage problem. And they keep. Now instead of a southward expansion, it's a northward expansion. Yep, that's what's happening.
[00:05:45] Speaker B: And can I point out something else, too? This is something I've always said, apart from, like, the real estate prices and things like that. Opelousis is geographically located, God put it here, in a beautiful place. It is just far south enough to not really be in danger of tornadoes.
It's just far south enough to still have Cajun legitimate Cajun food. We have the best food in the world, and we're in that realm still. If you go to Alexandria, you're out. Yes, you're out of that region. But if you're in Appaloosas, you're still in the great food region region. And we're just far north enough to not flood every time it rains or get hit directly by hurricanes like Lafayette and places further south to, like, this is the place to be.
[00:06:27] Speaker A: Yes.
My wife and I, we live, we have a little house. It's literally, I think, 100 yards outside of the city limits over towards where the casino is in town. So we live over there. We've lived there for six years. We love it over there. And our house is, like, located in this amazing, I don't know, hurricane proof area. Because we've, we've stayed at the house for the last several hurricanes that have come through. And by the time it's actually weathering around our house, it's really not that bad. The winds aren't whipping. We've got massive tree lines on all sides of us. Our house is on the side of a hill. Like, it's really wonderfully placed. And we don't ever have issues for the last storms that we've had over the last six years.
We haven't had to leave. We're just home. I mean, we lost power for a couple days. It really wasn't bad.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: And we live in the middle of the city. But Opelousis is an old town where
[00:07:16] Speaker A: they built where it mattered.
[00:07:20] Speaker B: Built with common sense right there for about 70 years. And it's.
It's never flooded. Yes, until I bought it and there was a pipe broken. But not by. Not because of hurricanes or rain or anything like that. They built understanding those things. And yeah, really Opelous is proper. Doesn't flood in hurricanes.
[00:07:40] Speaker A: Let's talk about this one. So this comment's from Chris Richard.
He says potential to get robbed, murdered Stolen from potential for politicians to claim they are going to do so much with grants and money that never see their intended purpose.
Okay, so we should probably deal with this.
There is crime issues inside of the city of Opelousas.
[00:08:02] Speaker B: I think.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: I mean, David, we've lived here. Yes, we know this, we have experienced this. But let me also say as a person who lived inside of the heart of Opelousis for six years, seven years, I can't remember exactly how long I lived right on Azalea street, right behind the Episcopal church, right on the edge of the hill. Okay. And if you're from Opelousis, you know where the hill is. Lived there for seven years. Six years. And the worst things that ever happened to me was one of my kids bikes got stolen.
That happened.
And then we just started hanging up our bikes from hooks and they didn't get stolen anymore. And then one time I forgot to chain up my lawnmower. Actually, no, I wasn't chaining up my lawnmowers. I was just putting them behind my house. And that got stolen. And then I started chaining up my lawnmowers. Like there, there are. And those are the worst things that ever happened to us. Oh, and one time somebody stole the pumpkin off of our front porch.
Our decorative pumpkin.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: No way.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: And like, honestly, that's it. That's the worst things that have happened to us inside of the city limits. As far as crime goes, that affects us directly. Nobody ever stole our cars, nobody ever broke into our house.
We didn't have any of those issues.
Now, we also weren't idiots and we figured out ways to protect ourselves and we kept our heads open and looking around and aware of what was happening around us. But honestly, our neighborhood was great. We got to know our neighbors, our kids played with the kids that lived in our neighborhood. Like our neighborhood was predominantly great. It really was.
We did not have this, the crime affect us. What I found whenever we lived in town is that predominantly the violent crime that happens in town happens between groups that are against each other. So whether it's like inter family violent crime or intra family violent crime, or between some of the young gang groups that are running around, that's what, that's what we've typically found we have. And our business is located literally dead center right in the middle of town, corner of Court street and Landry.
Like we're in the thick of it and we haven't had any crime problems here. Heck, sometimes people forget to lock the door.
So far it's been great.
Like it's really been a great place for us.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: Yeah, no, agreed. And again, living right in the middle of town, we do get to play the. Is it a gunshot or a firework? Occasionally.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: That's real.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: But we've never felt.
[00:10:36] Speaker A: Don't put lipstick on the pig. That's real.
[00:10:38] Speaker B: We've never personally felt unsafe, myself or my family living where we live.
And we're not ignoring any of the legitimate problems. We're saying we want to see them go away.
[00:10:51] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: We want to see improvement, and we think it's possible.
[00:10:54] Speaker A: And how does that happen? Let's ask that question. How does that happen?
It happens by sounding the clarion call for reformers who think like us and saying, hey, if you're looking to get to a place where you can get in cheap, which right now, I mean, what Gen Z millennial person is not trying to find affordable housing? That is one of the raging conversation points online on a national level right now. Where is the affordable housing? I'm here to tell you it's in Appaloosas.
That's where it is. One of the.
[00:11:29] Speaker B: Stuart, one of the comments, I can't find it here this second, but one of the comments was basically like, oh, you're telling people to move here from, like, out of town or out of state. That's only going to drive property prices up for other people.
[00:11:40] Speaker A: I know.
We know that.
[00:11:43] Speaker B: Right.
[00:11:44] Speaker A: That is the point we're trying to tell people. So what we want to see is we actually want to see Appaloosas grow and thrive again.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: But you hate poor people.
[00:11:53] Speaker A: Isn't that always the accusation? But what about the poor people?
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Now, see our previous episodes. We love the poor people.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: We would see if Opelousis median income actually went up.
Everybody would have a better life, including the poor people.
Everybody's quality of life would go up. The city quality of life would go up. People, the poor people's life would. Quality of life would go up. The organizational status would go up. All of it would go up. What we're saying is, if you're looking for an opportunity, we've found it. And we want you to come and live here.
Come and live here. And let's make Opelousas a Christian town again.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: Amen.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: This is my favorite one. Bill Doucet, who wrote this absurd crap, put a name on this.
[00:12:44] Speaker A: The name's on every episode.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: Shout out to Shane Dupre. He responded for us.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: Appreciate you, Shane.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: And named us.
[00:12:52] Speaker A: Thank you.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: You hopped in there and I said hello. You could find those and Said you'll make sure to add those site.
[00:13:01] Speaker A: I noticed that our. About us doesn't actually isn't about us. It's more about the organization, not us as individuals. So we should probably add that to it. But I think that'd be helpful for people.
[00:13:11] Speaker B: We've become the faces.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: No, the voices.
[00:13:15] Speaker A: The voices. Yeah, that's right. We had no video content. Not yet, anyway.
What else? What else? Oh, yeah, I see. Maggie Faye Richard is the one who said, call the out of staters to buy up the cheap real estate and make it impossible for Louisiana natives to afford the housing market.
[00:13:30] Speaker B: Should we talk. Should we talk about. Oh, sorry, did I cut you off?
[00:13:33] Speaker A: No, I was gonna say.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: Should we talk about the.
The really un. I was gonna say, like, the hatred and anger under the surface here, which is interesting. It's not really under the surface.
Whether they're from here or not from here. Are like.
There's a lot of. There's just a lot of. Like, there's a history here, it seems like.
[00:13:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:55] Speaker B: Of really not wanting to. Yeah. I don't know. Do well or change and not expecting that.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: And I think we should talk about that. Like, it. There does seem to be a lot of bitterness about the current state of affairs in the city of Opelousas. Like. Let's talk about that.
I have things to say, but I'll let you go first. Like, I'm noticing that. I'm noticing that there seems to be a lot of anger about how things in the city are doing now. Let's give some historical context.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: Right.
[00:14:30] Speaker A: 1970s, 1960s, Opelousis is popping. Okay. 1970s, 1960s. If you look down at Lafayette Parish, there's. It's. It's pastures.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Right.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Crop fields. You know, if you would. If you were driving down Johnston in the 1960s, it was farmland.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: It's only been the last 50 years that this shift has happened. Downtown Opelousis is where everybody came to shop.
The Abdallahs in town say that was like the first place in Louisiana with an escalator. Maybe even west of the Mississippi.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: West of the Mississippi or something crazy like that.
[00:15:06] Speaker A: This town was popping back in the day, and then something happened.
Something happened. Now there's a lot of people who say a lot of different things about exactly what it was. Some people say it was the boom of public housing that got placed into the city of Opelousas. Some people say it is opportunity lost in the oil field because apparently the oil center was supposed to move here. At one point, people said no, thank you.
[00:15:28] Speaker B: Is it true that i10 was supposed to.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: I think that's legend, but I haven't confirmed it. I'm sure that there are people who maybe are listening to this episode that could confirm that for us, and we would love if they would, but I've heard that before, too. There's all these things that people point to about the. About the failure of Opelousis. Itin was going to come through, and they said, thank you.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: What is lsue supposed to be lsuo? I've also heard that.
[00:15:51] Speaker A: Lusso. I hadn't heard that one before.
[00:15:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I've heard that. It was brought up.
And I. Look, I'm sorry, I don't have, like, the years that this was in discussion here, but I've heard. I've been told that Opelousis was ahead on the list of potential locations for an LSU satellite campus. The current administration at the time, or whoever was the decision maker said, we don't want to be a college town.
And they went to Eunice.
[00:16:16] Speaker A: Yeah. See, there's.
I think if I was just going to sit down and say, what was the.
What was the real problem underneath everything else?
I think what's actually going on in Opelousis is judgment. Okay.
For it to have fallen as hard as it has fallen right now, this looks like, to me, some type of judgment from God. And if I talk to people who've lived here for a long time, there has been a high degree of political favors and corruption, I would say, that have been going on here for a while.
In fact, just recently, I was talking to a buddy of mine.
He was relating a story to me about how he had been arrested once.
In another life. Okay. In another life.
And he got brought to the local parish courthouse by a Louisiana state trooper. And the state trooper walked in and saw this young man's family member standing next to an elected official in Saint Leger Parish. Okay. They walked in, saw him both standing there, and the state trooper said, nope, we ain't doing this. And he left because the state trooper knew that this guy that he just booked for a pretty serious charge was about to get off.
He knew that the system was working, and he was about to get a favor done. He was about to get off.
And so the trooper turned around, drove to Lafayette and booked him in Lafayette because he knew he wouldn't be able to get away with it there. And it's a state trooper, so he can book him anywhere he wants to.
[00:17:54] Speaker B: Gotcha. Wow.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: Yeah. So there's this high degree, I think of political corruption that we've seen in our specific county, parish area for quite some time. And I can't help but wonder, I can't help but wonder, if I look around and be like, is this God judging this area?
And if so, we need to repent.
[00:18:13] Speaker B: Right?
And like, if you're, I don't know, taking offense at that, I would just say, like, you don't have to go back far. I don't know. Just think about the last handful of years.
I mean, we're not asserting that corruption is involved, but we have the scandal that happened with the police chief recently. If you go back a little further, we have the previous mayor.
There was embezzlement. Right. So it's like, yeah, this is.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: It seems to be a pattern.
[00:18:50] Speaker B: Seems to be a pattern.
[00:18:51] Speaker A: And the Bible tells us that we get the leaders that we deserve.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:18:55] Speaker A: God judges covenantally.
You get the leaders that you've deserved, we should repent.
[00:19:02] Speaker B: Now, the materialists listening to this materialist, not as in, like, I love shopping, but the ones who don't believe in God or the spiritual realities of the universe we live in, they're always looking for, like, the specific cause and effect within the material world. So when Stuart, when you say, come in. When you come in hot and say, well, this might just be God's judgment on a city that has now a history of corruption that probably rubs some people the wrong way.
But, yeah, this is.
[00:19:36] Speaker A: This is.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: We're Christians, and so we know that God exists.
[00:19:39] Speaker A: And God judges and he judges covenantally. Yeah, like, we. We know that's true.
We could see it throughout the Bible. He judges whole nations, whole towns.
And so we as a people should take that seriously and say, hey, what if we repented together? I've actually had meetings with elected officials and said, hey, we should do this. This is not coming out of left field for me.
I've had these conversations and said, this is what this looks like.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: Omnia ad DEI gloria.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: Amen.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: DEI DEI DEI glorium.
[00:20:09] Speaker A: DEI Glorium. Yeah. It is the city motto. So all things to the glory of God. Amen. Let's do all things to the glory of God. And let's start by repenting collectively of our partiality.
James 1, James 2. Excuse me, beginning of James 2. We should not be partial. We should be equitable with all people equal, not partial. We should apply the law of God evenly to all people. People don't get favors because they know somebody. People don't get bonuses because they know somebody. We apply the law of God consistently Across the board. And we go from there.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Can I tell one more story, please, about this? I was going to say, kind of do it, throw in a little quip, like, next time I get pulled over for speeding, then I'm not supposed to go to my buddy to ask for it to get my ticket fixed, which I'd never heard of, by the way, before moving to Opalous.
[00:21:02] Speaker A: Welcome to the South.
[00:21:03] Speaker B: Yeah, that. That doesn't work that way in many other places. But we. We. We had an acquaintance who taught locally here. He got a speeding ticket. And this is your. This is a few years back, but he told some co workers about it. They said, don't worry about that. We'll get it fixed for you.
And he, like, gave them the ticket and they were going to go get it fixed for him, because that's just what you do. An opelousis. Well, the.
The person who was going to get it fixed ended up forgetting or whatever. And this went on for months. And he had, like, thought it was fixed. It wasn't. It got to the point where he ended up getting notifications that his license was about to be, like, suspended. He had missed, like, a court date or a payment date or something like that.
[00:21:45] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: Now, so they went back to this person and, you know, they. They ended up getting it all sorted out. Like he was at the point at all of almost losing his license.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Amazing.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: And they still got it fixed in the end.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:01] Speaker B: But I just think it's funny that he was.
Even the.
Even the corrupt system wasn't very efficient.
[00:22:10] Speaker A: That's amazing.
[00:22:11] Speaker B: I just thought of that.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: Well, you know, in the world of anecdotes, like, whenever election season comes up, especially for elections like judges, it is not uncommon.
Or, sorry, not judges specifically, but within the judicial system, when we have elections centered around the judicial system, it is not uncommon for people to get phone calls from the incumbents and say, hey, I see you got a ticket. Let me take care of that for you.
That has happened. That has happened. Wow.
[00:22:43] Speaker B: So, like, instead of, you know, spreading some literature door to door, knocking on doors and stuff like that, they should do some favors calling random phone numbers of people who have tickets.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: For real, like the king's coin. If you take the king's coin, you are the king's man. Everybody knows that. Make a little something go away, and then you owe me. You owe me a favor. And the talk of this goes very, very deep.
I've heard conversations. Now, we've worked for political entities located here inside of the city of Appaloosas in St. Landry Parish. We've never experienced this. At least I've never experienced this personally, but I have had conversations with other people who have told me, yeah, it is normal if you get on payroll inside of government entities in Appaloosa St. Landry Parish that somebody wants a kickback.
I've heard people that I respect share things like that with me. I've never experienced that. You know, of course, we're not on the docket for any government contracts anymore. I think we're untouchable in that sense now.
But I've had those conversations with people.
It's anecdotes, but it's worth something.
If we're going to be blessed by God, favored by God as a community, we have to repent and walk in obedience to what he says. And then he says he will bless blessings and curses. It's a thing.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Would what you're talking about include, like, getting a pork chop lunch and a $20 bill with a filled out voting form and loaded onto a van to go vote for the person that the party told you to?
[00:24:20] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: We can flag this if we.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: If we need to, but it happens like this is, it runs deep here.
And if you look around and you wonder why things are so bad in
[00:24:34] Speaker B: Appaloosas, why no responsibility is being taken, why we are not holding our elected officials accountable, why all the things.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: My humble suggestion is, it's because we haven't repented of our partiality, of our favoritism and of our favors. It runs deep. It runs real deep, man. If you want to hold. Somebody was saying this the other day, specifically in relation to the affair that the chief of police here had against his wife. Somebody brought it up. One of our friends brought it up with somebody else in the community.
And their retort was, everybody cheats.
He just got caught.
And it was like, what?
Yeah, they're like, everybody cheats. You don't care when some white man cheats on his wife? And we're like, yes, we do. Give us names.
We will run the story.
Like, no problem. Who is it? Give us names. Talk about evidence, right?
[00:25:37] Speaker B: We're talking about public officials, but, yeah,
[00:25:38] Speaker A: we're talking about elected officials. Oh, yeah. Not just every single. Excuse me. Yeah. Thank you for writing that.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: They should be held to a standard. Absolutely.
[00:25:47] Speaker A: Absolutely, 100%.
Well, any more fun comments you want to run through? Anything else?
[00:25:52] Speaker B: Look, I'm sure there's a few more fun ones on there. There's also some good ones. Thank y'. All. What do you think the split was. I was surprised. I thought at first. I was like, it's like 50. 50. Like, half of the people are like, how dare you say something nice about Opelousis. Half people were like, no, this is. This is an okay place. There's opportunity. But I think it's more like 75, 25.
[00:26:09] Speaker A: Yeah, agreed.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: It's probably 75, 25 where the vast majority are.
They don't. They don't like Appaloosas.
[00:26:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Sarah Beard says, just curious, all these folks commenting about what a great place OP is. Do you actually live in the city or just work here?
We do both, actually.
[00:26:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Carol Mason. Crime, crime, crime.
[00:26:31] Speaker A: We're not saying that there's not problems.
[00:26:33] Speaker B: Mario Thibodeau. Why would anyone want to move here?
[00:26:36] Speaker A: Because it's affordable.
That's the argument that we're making. Because it's affordable and it's reasonably safe.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Yep. And you could have some fun neighbors
[00:26:47] Speaker A: like Stuart and I. Oh, very true.
Very true.
