You guys see that one episode of Jockeys when Joe talamo goes suit shopping and buys a $5K = suit?

Somebody should tweet back to Joe Talamo and tell him when he goes to buy a suit, its probably a good idea to bring ample ways to make payment, rather than to rely on just 1 credit card.

First question, who doesnt carry more than 1 credit card? Either a debit card or additional credit cards?

Second question, why doesnt Joe Talamo have a bigger limit than $3K?
The guy makes twice that in a typical weekend.

If he shopped in the kids section the suit would have been a lot cheaper

I've seen that episode. Unless they were just playing for the camera, it's mind boggling that a guy who makes as much money as Talamo didn't have enough money for that suit.

having read about the episode where solis watches a race in which he was supposed to ride, but his horse scratched...when in fact he picked up a mount, and was in the race, tells me all i need to know about how 'real' the show is.

Of course they are playing for the camera. What fun is it to watch someone go shopping without getting into some sort of predicament.

Its really dumb that they have Trevor Denman dub his own race calls for the show where he calls the name of the jockeys more than the names of the horses.

What about Jimmy a Hat? Why do they always show him? What value does having a gambler on there add to the show?

Oh come on. A guy who calls himself Jimmy the Hat, has to be on the show, gambler or not. He is a character.

At least they did not put Jon White on the show --> would have been as fun as watching C-SPAN.

We definetly live in a world now that is instant information 24/7. I myself am not a fan at all of twittering, tweets whatever but hey it serves a purpose for some. If you are mad because you had to wait 5 minutes at the coffee shop for your latte and feel it necessary to tell the world thats great, but I don't care.

Facebook serves a purpose for many but again not my cup of tea. I actually am in total agreement with Gander on this one. I can't stand tweets, facebook or text messaging. The days are long gone of people actually having phone conversations. Shoot, the days are long gone of people buying a newspaper and reading it.

You're so folksy. Can you recite every episode of The Andy Griffith Show word for word?
