Rooster McConaughey’s ‘West Texas Investors Club’ Shoots Down Fly-by-Night Business Idea (Exclusive Video)

Actor Matthew’s brother and parter Butch Gilliam do not seem likely to invest in new air travel app

It doesn’t look like Rooster McConaughey and Butch Gilliam will be flying the friendly skies with one young entrepreneur anytime soon.

In an exclusive clip obtained by TheWrap of Tuesday’s episode of CNBC’s “West Texas Investors Club,” a young man is seeking $75,000 to help launch his own air travel app. The money would go toward obtaining a Part 135 certificate.

“What the hell is a 135? What is that?” McConaughey asks. “It’s a certificate that allows you to fly and charge people money for your services,” Gilliam explains.

Gilliam is not impressed, however, that the entrepreneur has yet to obtain his Part 135 certificate. “That’s the first thing you gotta do and he doesn’t even have one,” he says.

He then asks the entrepreneur how many hours of flying time he has, to which the man replies he has around 500 hours logged. “I’d rather fly with a blind man than with somebody that’s only got 500 hours,” McConaughey says.

Charlie Ebersol, Jason Henry and Dan Lanigan serve as executive producers on the series. The show is produced by The Ebersol Lanigan Company.

“West Texas Investors Club” airs Tuesdays at 10/9c.
