"Of course chicken don't talk- this was the first piece of common knowledge that had to be discarded."
This quote is referring to a family that owned a chicken farm. The son went to Stanford and got a B.A. and changed the family business to corporate business. This quote brings some humor into the situation I think. He is talking about how the son went of to college and learned to much, that know he much teach his family. First thing is that he must change what they have known forever. They have always been a small family raising chickens, but know they have to change and learn about corporate America. They have to drop what they thought. They thought chickens don't talk, but there son has taught them different, they do talk, and it all seems crazy to them
“A TV game show (a mix of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, somewhere in the Post-Macho Southwest, slouching through the twenty-first century).”
This is Herrera description of American culture television. And its macho status that comes form it. How both the Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy have to do with winning. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy both are games were you wager money, he wages other things that have to do with mexican and american culture. He is making fun of these american games.
