Remy talks about upcoming Mardi Gras festival and Tasty Patisseries offers King Cake orders while sipping coffee and if you tell them Remy's invitation and if you order two you can get one for free. He talks about his membership on the Krewe of Knights is a good way to give back to the city, and his father, who died in 1967, served on the Krewe of Knights for years, as well as getting elected Rex in 1932. Then he talks about how his father was man of tradition and believed in every man has his role, and how Communists in Russia and America want to rip that off.
Dinner with 31 Vietnam Veterans[]
Remy says he has invited thirty-one men who recently returned from the Vietnam War, to have dinner with him at the yacht club, and he will foot the bill. He then criticizes left-wing movements in the country, who are disrespectful of America's fighting men. He urges civilians to show respect to the military and give thanks to returning veterans.
Olivia Marcano[]
Olivia and Remy talk about starting another scholarship which is for Duvall Hall Science Center this time. The scholarship was intended for girls who plan to major in science and named in honor of the late Mr. Marcano, whom Olivia said was a passionate devotee of the sciences. Olivia asks Remy what his favorite science subject was, then remarks that the deadline for the current scholarship has not yet passed and encourages female undergraduates to make application for it. Remy remarks that he has gotten some criticism for sponsoring scholarships that benefit some but not all, and says that America is about competition, not enforced mediocrity. Olivia ends that the scholarship does not only factor in grades, but a young lady's social graces, to which Remy adds Olivia sure has that as he was wowed by her cotillion photos. The show ends with Olivia and Remy making polite, fliratious remarks towards each other.
New Bordeaux Football and Gambling[]
Speaks on the plan to bring a professional football team to New Bordeaux. While he understands the city's pride and enthusiasm for being able to cheer for a team of their very own, Remy delivers some bad news with it. He reveals that no franchise in the National Football League has been willing to offer a contract for more than ten years if they move their franchise to New Bordeaux. He also points out that many teams get in over their heads building expensive stadiums and expect city councils to subsidize them, which will probably happen in New Bordeaux, and ultimately means the taxpayers will be subsidizing a team whether they want it or not. Remy makes a brief aside to Baron Saturday's Fun Park, remarking how today it is an "eyesore in the Hollow". Remy says that there is a better way to attract tourism to New Bordeaux: gambling. He acknowledges that many of his listeners do not gamble and the reputation it has earned. However, he says there is a more respectable way that gambling could come to the city, and urges his listeners to contact City Hall to get gambling legalized.
Hippies, Free Love, and Revolution[]
Remy speaks about the hippie movement and recounts one he met in the French Ward, who he calls "Bobby". Bobby told him how there's a revolution going on; when Remy asked with who, Bobby replied simply "the system". He went on to tell Remy that his way of life isn't for them, and that free love, music, and drugs are all they need to get by.
Later on, Remy decided to pay Bobby a visit, only to find out he had died, overdosed on heroin. Remy explains that is how everyone like Bobby eventually ends up, dead in a gutter. He tells his listeners to clean their houses. If their kids have rock and roll records, throw them out, as no good can ever come of them.
Fair Housing Act[]
Remy discusses a recent incident in Southdowns, where a black family found a burning cross on their property (likely instigated by the Southern Union). The family was so scared by this they moved away, presumably buying a house in Delray Hollow. Remy says whoever did the cross burning was wrong and the family did not deserve to be terrorized. Remy then goes on to criticize President Johnson, saying his Great Society programs are a form of heavy-handed central planning, this going so far to say what real estate can and cannot be sold and to whom. Remy says he believes both blacks and whites have a right to defend their homes and loved ones, but that the best way to keep the peace is to live separately.
Hollis Dupree[]
Remy interviews Hollis Dupree after he is arrested for killing Lamont Harris and Trey McCall, two African-American men, when they came to Dupree's home asking for help with a flat tire. Dupree claims that it was done in self defense and he thought they were there to kill him. The two defend the action by black people in the south is usually more violent and there might be violence record for the victim while them and Dupree both served in the military.
