Special Report My visit to the house where they filmed The Outsiders

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. This is a special report edition.  So last Sunday me and my folks and my brother sister in law and niece had dinner at Telly's Restaurant. then my brother and sister in law wanted to see where the high school where the Outsiders were filmed. So we headed to Will Rogers High School. They took pictures of the high school. Then we wanted to find the house where the film was made. So after looking it up and getting directions we found the house. My brother and his family were there first. It just so happen the guy who was remodeling it was still there. His name is Zach Matthews and along with House of Pain lead singer Danny Boy O’Connor are refurbishing the house.  He's showed us around talking about some of the rich history of the making of the movie.

Like how Fracis ford Coppola had a guy who was in charge of keeping things quiet. Like a guy was using a chainsaw. he gave the guy 50$ to get the chainsaw and the guy went over there and brought the chainsaw. He also paid money to make sure dogs were not barking during a take. Then he told us about the gate and how Patrick Swayze  was supposed to jump over the fence but the fence got knocked down during the take so they had to reinforced the post so Patrick was able to jump over it.

We were not allowed to take pictures of the inside so we didn't but we got some pictures of the outside. I'll post on my The Brad Essex Report facebook page to show a picture of my family in front of the house. After that we said our thanks and left.

Thou before we went he told us about a fundraiser he was going to have in August for the renovations. Before that thou they have a go fund me site up to help with fees and stuff. https://www.gofundme.com/theoutsidershouse If you want to help out you can do it here. They also purchased the lot next door so they can have room in the back to show the film during the summer. So you can grab your chairs and coolers and watch the adventures of pony boy,soda pop and the rest. Also maybe they will show the sequel Rumble Fish and That was then and this is now.

 This is Rogers high school. The school where most of the characters went to in the movie. Also where the writer  S. E. Hinton went to school.  Noticed the art deco style of the building.

Here is the front of the house. Zach was kind enough to give us a tour but not to take pictures inside while work was being done to the house. You can see the bend in the chain fence just like in the movie.
Like i said if you I will be showing a picture of me and the family in front of the house when we get it on The Brad Essex Report front page.

Orlando and why america needs to wake up.

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here what I'm looking at this week. The was a horrible mass shooting in Orlando Florida. 50 dead 53 wounded at the pulse gay bar. The murderer was a Islamic Extremist who before his shooting was on the phone to a 911 operator and pledge his support for ISIS. Yet the Libs wanted to ban guns because they say the gun was the bad guy here yet let look at the facts. One of his ex co worker called him deranged. He was on a FBI watch list. He brought his guns legally. So out of all that you still say guns were the problem?

  Also one of the problem is that Florida doesn't let people carry a gun in a bar that could of stopped something like this.  Like what happened to Christina Grimmie there were no one with a gun to protect her from the guy who shot her. This is proof that the left now can't avoid. The Muslims extremists will kill anyone who is not for Allah. The Muslim who don't do crime are enablers because they don't raise their voices and punish the bad guys by telling on them. I urge Gov.Scott in light of these two shooting to let people open carry and have guns at schools and bars. We need to protect ourselves when crazy people try to harm people.

 I also hope gay Americans wake up and see the libs are not going to protect you you are fair game in this political game the left like to play. You don't have money like the Islamic extremists have so your voice don't matter to them be a conservative and live your life without fear.

P.S. I did not name the killers for the simple fact that they don't need to be lauded for their killing instead let us pray for those who were wounded and have died. May god rest their souls and their family find peace in this darkest of hours.

Then we have the aftermath Dumbass Sen. Mike Murphy who trying to get a gun law passed to restrict the rights of lawful Americans by filibustering. Yet I never seen a gun kill people. we need to restrict those people who are high risk to kill people and take steps that people with mental problems don't own a gun till cleared by a doctor. Less government mean better protections of our riwights.

POP CULTURE TIME. Ishiro is the new hit king for having more hits then Pete Rose according to the record book yet should he be thou? He got 1,400 of those hits in japan. It's like another Japanese hitter who got the most home runs. should he be considered the home run king or is it Barry bonds?

Finally today we have the sad news of a toddler being eaten by a gator. When will we see that feeding animals is not smart and will lead to disaster. That why we have protection from animals like a gun and plexiglass. Animal are dangerous.

Making waves the smart way!

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. This is what i'm looking at this week. First Bill Kristol said over the weekend there were going to be a guy to run as a Independent. Turn out the guy he was thinking about was David French. If you don't know who he is read up on him. He is a Vet,Writer and speaker. Yet my complaint about him and it only a small one is he don't have the name recognition than the three people still running have. If he was a person to run as a viable candidate he needed to get his name out there for people to see. The reason Trump is winning because good or bad people know who he is. That what a anti Trump person would need to be a name people know. David French is a good man but we do need name value if you want to run vs. Trump and Hilary or Bernie.


Let talk about Rush Limbaugh. The man has done so much for me to become a Conservative. Living in the Lib town that is Corpus Christi he was the cure to all the Libs down there and so much more. Yet some think he is for Donald Trump. I don't think he is he was just talking up about him the way he was with other Candidates. I think people forget how he was the light when Clinton and now Obama is in power and I know he will be putting the feet to the fire of whoever wins the white house. I just wish he brought back some of his old segments.


POP Culture time Everybody is trashing the new Ghostbuster movie and they should. The original and Ghostbuster 2 were fun movie and classic. This movie is a SJW project gone horribly wrong. It's not the ladies fault. It's the fault of people who can't think of a idea so they say let make a classic new but with women. It's like in Comic Book hey let make this guy gay but he has a history of being straight. Screw that it will be edgy and stuff. The other part is let's make a good guy the bad guy now. It's all in attempt to be a SJW icon. Well guess what I won't go to a movie if you change something to suit your own agenda. I want my Ghostbusters male. I want Alan Scott straight and Captain America a symbol of American Exceptionalism. Like I say I don't mind Gays in comics but they don't have to change the heroes I grew up reading.


One of the thing i hate is being belittled because i have CP. It is infuriating to think that i can't be hired anywhere because of my disability. It is a stigma that goes up all the way to Hollywood. People with disability are shown as morons or people that think they rather die then be with a affliction. People like me who overcome a disability with strength and passion for life are not shown. People like me who faith in god make me believe no matter what I can do anything if I want it bad enough.    Also in politic people with disability are not part of any leadership position on any of presidential staff. This has to end now. Time that people see that those without a perfect body can still be part of something you just have to believe in us.
