Lucking load. The Michael Berry Show is on the air.

Willman.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Daddy left home when I was thirty three, and he
didn't need as much because Mama and me and he
was the only Indian on.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
The reservation named Roy. He'd watched them Tarzan videotapes and
sit there and get drunk as I ate.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And before he left he went and named me boy.
Then Mama said he said I wasn't his, and what
he said I was, I can't say, I guess.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
But I reckon.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I ain't nowhere a boy. All I know is before.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They got a divorce, he said something about crazy whores
and life ain't easy for a Sioux named boy. Well,
I thought I was an unfortunate lad. But then I
grew up when I saw they had a room named
after where people peed, and all them people.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They came and went, and me, I never made a cent.
So I got looking for what was coming to me.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And it was Baker's Field in mid October, and it'd
been a while since I'd been sober, and I hit
the palace.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
In my blue corduroys.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And out there dancing in his cowboy boots, just dancing
my kachiitah to the Bucker rouge.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Was that egg sucking sue that named me.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Boy When I went up and grabbed him by the collar,
and he said, boy, give me a dollar, and why
don't you get me and Jane a beer?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Where About that time, old.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Jane passed out and Dad went staggering through the crowd,
and I.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Caught up with him, and he said, let's get out
of here.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, we wound up splitting the patty milk, and I
told him just the way.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I felt, and he that He just looked at me
and took another bote.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I said, what's wrong? He said, I'm full. I said,
why didn't you name me sitting bull? And he said, boy,
give me a lot. He said, Boy, there ain't no
doubt have to the way that you turned out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
If I ever have another son, I.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Name him sweet Potato or two nuts or anything, but boy,
we gotta work it out.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
My name in the Ojibwe language is easy way with
down oukway, or in English speaks with a clear and
loud voice.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Woman.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I'm a member of the White Earth Nation and my
family is the Wolf Clan, and the role of our
plan is to ensure that we never leave anyone behind.
That's why I am supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walls
to be the next president and vice president of the
United States.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You know her talking about the fact that her Indian
name is that she talks too damn loud and much true.
Texans have driven it, and between Sageine and San Anton,
(03:29):
You'll never forget the first time you see there is
a sign that says woman hollering creek and the first
time you see it, you're driving. I love to drive
the Texas highways. My wife laughs. We went up to
Austin last weekend and she said, I forget that. The
(03:55):
reason we always had to have a ranch was not
because the ranch called you. It's because driving on Texas
Highways comes you. I am a different man. I am,
I am calm. She'll put her feet up on the
dashboard the way a woman's supposed to when you're driving along.
(04:18):
You got the open road. It's Texas. You read off
the various places and there's a story behind each one,
and you got your favorite place where you stop and
get this, and stop and get that. And I don't
know how old I was the first time I read that,
but it's one of those you can't believe you really
(04:39):
just read that woman hollering creek. It says it's on
I looked it up to get the exact It's on highway.
It's on FM fifteen eighteen, just north of Ien extra credit.
If you said that, if you know what it is
a trip of, then double extra credit. Which is Martinez Creek,
(05:07):
which is in and of itself a tributary of Sibylo Creek.
And I think that's pronounced Sibylo. Isn't it Cibolo? Why
am I asking you? You know, as much as you
drive the highways and byways of Texas, you don't know
how to pronounce anything which is in itself a tributary
of what river? San Anton River? Very good, ramon, Wow, Okay,
(05:30):
all right. The creek's name is probably a loose translation
of the Spanish li jorana, or the weeping woman. According
to legend, a woman who was recently who has recently
given birth, drowns her newborn in the river because the
father of the child either does not want it or
(05:52):
leaves with a different woman. The woman then screams in
anguish from drowning her child. After her her spirit then
haunted the location of the drowning and wales in misery.
The legend has many different variations, all of them relate
(06:13):
to a screeching, crazy, self important, narcissistic, absolutely psychotic looney woman.
And we have actual audio that was recorded at that creek.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Let me tell y'all about Texas leadership.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
I'm County Executive Lena Hidalgo and I serve the five
million residents of Harris County. Harris County includes Houston, Texas
Governor Ann Richards said, I've been.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Tested by fire and the fire lost. In the years
I've been in office, We've.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Dealt with chemical fires.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
We've dealt with ten floods, seven hurricanes, a deadly winter freeze,
and of course the pandemic. When that last disaster struck,
Donald Trump abandoned us, he spread misinformation that cost lives.
(07:27):
She's compar to twenty twenty one, when the Texas power
grid went dark, Kamala Harris didn't just put out a tweet.
She called me to make sure we had what we needed.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, I never saw any of it.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Over the years, I've learned that Kamala Harris always calls,
and not only does she call, she delivers.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
The very week she launched her campaign. She was down
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I noticed a theme of these FEMA.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
Assistance right after Hurricane minute.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Talk too loud, too much, Shela Lena Hidalgo, Neverma Harris.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
For the sake of politics, Harris, to protect our coman's
Indian name weather the Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I actually don't know her Indian name. She didn't give
it to help us with.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Just that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We should probably throw that open to the crowd and
let them choose it. Yes, deserve Lena Hidalgo's Indian name.
Clear the phone lines seven one thousand.

Poor Orange went so downhill.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
When I was coming up in here, they look on

And now it's done down to sixteen eighteen thousand. All
the white people went to Bridge City.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
This poletown is so broke down.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
We've been trying for years now to get an African
American Heritage museum up here, but the NAACP have all

Speaker 4 (12:27):
I have to admire and something about these Asian people.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
I know it's a stereotype and you're not supposed to
do that, but they do work hard. They don't mind
squatting down, They not addicted the stories, they don't smoke
on the job.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
They never apply for no welfare.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
All right, now back to the Michael bed program all
over the world.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Honey, here go to Sara.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Is it tsrra or is it cz aarra of.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Fither Canadian listener t z zizara. I can't spend.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Our friend. Mister Hennessy has just built a one thousand
horsepower Ford Veloci vel Raptor for Joe Rogan. Press release says,
join us in congratulating American patriot and icon Joe Rogan,
who recently took delivery of his new twenty twenty four
(13:23):
Ford Raptor R equipped with the Hennessy Freedom Series Velociraptor
R one thousand package. Rogan, known for his love of
high performance vehicle vehicles, traded in his Mammoth one thousand
ram TRX for this new industry powerhouse. The truck, finished
(13:45):
in a striking shelter green, reflects both rugged durability and
sleek aesthetics. As an upgrade from his previous vehicle, the
Velociraptor R one thousand offers Rogan an unparalleled driving experience,
combining Hennessy's engineering excellence with Ford's legendary off road capabilities.
(14:08):
The Velociraptor Oh, I'm an idiot, it's not a Velociraptor R.
The R is just capitalized. I'm gonna reread this whole thing,
so I don't put the velocity. Okay, then I won't,
But y'all know that I goofed on that because there
was an R hanging out at the end. The Velociraptor
(14:30):
one thousand upgrade transforms the already formidable Ford Raptor R
into a beastly machine, boosting its performance to new heights.
Let's call Hennessy. You see, this is how you promote
your business. This is how you do it. Right here
(14:52):
this you do good work, and then you tell people
you did it from when I give you the number offline.
You do good work. And then the important thing Gordon
Bethune told me when I was running from mayor. He said,
(15:14):
my rule is tell the people what you're going to do,
do it, and then tell the people that you did it.
That's the thing a lot of people don't do.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Last week I put the question out tell me how
inflation is affecting your business? Do you know there are
some people that I can ask fifty eight different questions
on air and they will call up. You know why,
because then their name gets on the air and we
can't take them every time. It'd be weird, but they do.
(15:53):
Every business out there is affected by inflation. How many
people went to work that day depressed that they can't
seem to get more people to walk in because more
business solves the problem most of the time. Did you
get him more business? Walking through the door solves the
(16:13):
problem for most businesses. But you give them an opportunity
to spread their name and they don't do it. And
you've got to wonder, do you not understand that? That's
what I do. I tell stories, I share knowledge, I
help people market, I help people build their network. Why
(16:37):
wouldn't every business call up and say, my restaurant, here's
the name of it, here's where we are. Inflation's hurting
us because the price of beef is up. How many
people would hear that name? The problem for most business
is not that they're not good at what they do.
It's we have so many choices and you're forgotten over
(17:01):
the years. Anytime something comes up on food costs, I
would get an email from Tookies. Doesn't Tokies have two
like Tookies and something else. What's the other thing? Huh No,
not seafood. They have Tookies and they have another. There's
another restaurant right along that corridor where Tookie seafood. Okay,
all right, maybe it's another owner. There's another Oh maybe
(17:24):
it stomps. Yeah, yeah, But my point is, did you
get Hennessy? What's he doing? You left a message? He
might be building a tyrannosaurus. Huh how about that? But
my point is they don't just build a truck for Rogan.
(17:45):
They say, hey, can we tell the world we just
built this awesome truck for you. Here's the press release.
You can approve it, and Rogan's up for it. Yeah.
Famous people and brands stay right elevant by being talked about. Well,
guess what that's also true of your small business. You
(18:06):
got to be in the mix. Good looking truck, very
good looking truck. It's a thousand horsepower. I mean, how
many horsepower would Uncle Jerry's raptor had you know six
point fifty. Oh, so you're adding a significant Where are
you going to feel the difference? Really? Okay, I know
(18:28):
I'm not a horsepower. I'll admit it. I'm not a
horse the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
You merely adopted the doc.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I was born in.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Nobody in Texas shoul vote for the Democrats. Period, end
of story. Their policies hurt energy companies. Shall I list
for you the twenty four Fortune five hundred companies headquartered
in the Houston metro area. I think I will the
(19:04):
second one I'm going to list. Chevron only became headquartered
in Houston as of August second, when they announced they
were moving to the Houston area, and Schlumberge has principal
offices in Houston, Paris, London, and the Hague. They appear
(19:24):
on the Global five hundred list, but not on the
Fortune five hundred list, so they don't appear on this list,
but you could add them to it. These are their
ranks in the Fortune five hundred company list, and I'll
read them in order of our largest to the twenty
fourth biggest. Now, these are not only major companies in
(19:48):
billions of dollars, like Exi Mobile three hundred and forty
four billion dollars. That's payroll, that's office rent, that's sandwiches,
gasoline apartments, houses, lawnmn roofers, I mean, eye doctors, school taxes.
(20:14):
You don't want to drive those people away, but the
Democrats do, even the local Democrats. Sylvester Turner managed to
wrangle his way into being the head of the US
Mayor's Conference. And all they would do was past judgments
that we shouldn't have ail in gas companies. It's awful,
(20:35):
all right. With the seventh rank Exxon Mobile three hundred
and forty four billion dollars, seventh on the Fortune five hundred,
the Top Houston Company, fifteenth rank, Chevron twenty sixth rank,
Phillips sixty six at fifty four, Cisco the food Provider
sixty eight, Conaco, Phillips ninety enterprise Products Partner Partners, Dan
(20:59):
Duncans Will Company ninety two, Planes Holdings one hundred and
forty seven, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a descendant of the Great
Rod Canyon one forty nine, Occidental Petroleum one fifty NRG Energy,
And I bet the only reason anybody in the Greater
(21:21):
Houston community knows NRG is the stadium the own You
never hear about him otherwise. One sixty one, Baker Hughes
one sixty nine, eog Resources one seventy seven, Halliburton one
ninety two, Quanta Services one ninety nine, Waste Management two hundred,
(21:41):
Shineer Energy two twenty nine, Group one Automotive two fifty six,
Targo Resources two sixty eight, Kinder Morgan three twenty six,
Westlake Westlake Chemical four forty one, Center Point Energy fourv
(22:03):
four fifty four par Pacific Holdings, and four fifty five
a PA. The impact those companies have on our real
estate market, our taxing of local government, our schools, our charities,
(22:27):
our restaurants, our hospitals, the number of medical research dollars
don at it. It's just incredible why our government would
want you have enough international competition with every other country,
including state owned industry and our own government, because one
(22:51):
party in this country is up for it is doing
everything they can to destroy those people. And the problem
is most of these companies have decided, rather than fight
the Democrats toot the nail to defeat them, they have
decided to take their beating and give some money to
the Democrats and hope, hope that will reduce the amount
(23:14):
of beatings that they get. And that's why you end
up with what you end up with. Harley Davidson has
decided to do away with their DEI initiatives following tractor supply.
You think what it did to bud Light. The guy
(23:36):
who's head of Vannheuser Busch sorry, Silver Eagle Distributors, Johnny Johnson,
in this community is one of the nicest guys you
ever want to meet. Big support of our show. Years ago.
They used to endorse our show and they wanted me
to speak for michelob Ultra and I was only too
happy to do it. Now, we weren't a traditional place
(24:01):
for them to spend money and they didn't stay with us.
But I've remained friends with him over the years, and
anything we've ever needed for veterans, you name it, and
it wasn't his fault. The woman who did the Dylan
mulvaney thing had stated three weeks before that on a
podcast that bud Light needed to change its image from
(24:25):
white boys and Mexicans. Well, this poor guy, he's down
here building relationships, giving away free beers to my veterans' events,
to soccer games to this. A lot of people in
the country who are a distributor of a product and
they can't help what the national company does, and they
(24:48):
screwed the pooch for him. I don't know how much
they cost him. I don't know how much they hurt
his business. I know it hurt him bad, and he
had nothing to do with it and would have never
on that. I know nobody feel sorry for him. I
got that because I've told the story before. But it
breaks my heart because, honestly, every time I've ever asked,
(25:11):
most of the time you've never known it. Hey, uh,
they're doing this event over here, and we really need
some help for it. And they're going to raise money
for veterans or they're gonna never a question how much
you need. It'll be there so much so that two
weeks later I'll call back, Hey, Johnny sorrdy our text Johnny,
(25:32):
Sorry to bother you, but uh, I just want to
make sure, Michael, I told you you'll be there. You
don't have to worry about it ever. Again, everything we
ever asked for, and we're not the only ones. He
held a lot of causes around the community. Then they
go and do that bud light thing. It hurt him.
They had to. Now they've switched over. He's gonna adapt,
He's gonna run a business, got employees Tractor Supply. How
(25:53):
many good people worked at Tractor Supply. Wouldn't their fault now,
Harley Davidson has been nailed and they're like, oh, we
won't do it anymore. How did you allow the people
into your business who did do it? That's the problem.
Fire all those people. Never hire them. Back them, Michael Barrier.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Just say the word and I'll throw down sugary Q.
Church was really good today, wouldn't do Hung up?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Girl, I'm trying to get this ninety seven cent cigarette lip. No,
you're not supposed to say church was good.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
You're supposed to be like Beverly Bay and say God
is good.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
Do you remember when.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I was baptized?
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Girl, you was not exactly baptized, if member said correctly.
That's the day we went to Park Down Mall and
you started jumping up and down in the fountains and
took off your brazira and then the police had to
come in there and tase your ass until you fell out.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Uh. And that's when you start speaking in.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Tongues Okay, I don't remember that. Well, of course, don't
you blackout drinking girl. I took what Tuesday the church today.
Something in earn It is called the Cowboy Church. Y'all
heard of this here.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Some white lady invited us out.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
I really needed to stop at the dollar stove on
the way home, so I just said, yes, honey, I
go church.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Y'all.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
It was a cowboy chair. Oh it made it's so nervous.
I was afraid I had accident and went to a
kukluk klam meeting.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Girl.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
I'm gonna be honest. Everybody was very, very nice and
polite and welcoming.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
There was not.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
One racial issue, one Christianity issue, one issue about the
way what Tuesday was dressed her quote unquote her. Nobody
raised a fuss about it. We was felt it welcomed,
and I felt like it was a good thing because
what the Cowboy Church. I don't know y'all heard about this,
(27:53):
but it's.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
A big thing in Earnest.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
People love to go there and they I don't know
what happened this rodeos and things, but it was hot.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
I ain't going to no more out those churches until
they get to past Halloween. I ain't playing that because
I am very by nature d high registoria and people
knows this about me. It's some of my medical alert bracelets.
But Cowboy Church was nice. It was nice hearing Michael
(28:24):
Barry talk about that bank the day.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
What that bank was called?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Go ahead on, girl.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
That's the first time I ever heard you expository anything, Kerr. Yeah,
the Counternational Bank. You know a lot of people in
Houston don't know this, but this man uh named doctor
Lincoln right here from Errange, that's the street right over
from my house, and he designed the entime Montrose neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Did y'all know that?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
I know Michael Barry, know that Michael Barry know everything
that ever was needed to be known about Range.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Now what I'm bosting to do?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:01):
What does the remain comfortable to see it? Sit your
ass down. Everything will be fine. Mike Berry had forgot
about the cannon ash.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The make of her is okay? Okay, t Bone Tom's
was the name of the other restaurant I couldn't think of.
It always comes up in that conversation. Well, John Hennessy
has deigned to join us for a moment on the program.
Normally we have to brag about him without him.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
Mister Hennessy, hey brother, has everything get here in Texas?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Do you have a good excuse of why you didn't
take my call when I rang earlier?
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Yeah, I was talking to my CPA.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
That was when you make too much money. So I
saw this story on the Joe Rogan Velociraptor. Pretty darn cool. Congratulations,
that's cool. I love it. Question for you because, as
you know, I'm not an under the hood guy. A
thousand horsepower forward velocirafter what did when? When did you
(30:08):
take delivery of it? Or did he drive it to you?
Speaker 11 (30:12):
So we helped him. We helped him buy the base
board wrapper our truck which is seven under horsepower from
Ford and then we take that and make a thousand
horse powers. So yeah, we built that with different bumpers
and wheels and tires and lights and brakes, and took
it over and delivered it to a Minute Studios a
few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So I don't need to know what he paid, but
if I was to have exactly what he had done,
what's the marginal cost aside from the base unit? What
would that cost me. I don't need to know what
he paid. She didn't know what that would cost.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
Well, so so rapter our sticker at one twelve, but
you can't buy him for much under like one. And
then we added about it another sixty five grand with
the modification, so I think all ends to ten and
that's what he paid.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
But yeah too, what is a.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
Ten thousand pickup truck? That's what I build a lot up.
That's crazy to think that somebody would pay to a
grand from pickup truck, but it's worth every penny.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
So, so to get from seven hundred horsepower to a
thousand horsepower, explain to me, like I'm a six year old,
because I don't understand horsepower and how you achieve it?
What is if I was, if I was in sixth grade?
How would you explain how that? How you do that?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Sure?
Speaker 11 (31:33):
Now that's a great question. Basically, an engine is a
big air pump, and so the more air that you
can pump through it and more fuel you can pump
through it, the more power you can make. So in
the case of the Rapper are seven hundred horse power
V eight from Ford and as a supercharger on the engine,
we basically, replace that supercharger with a larger supercharger that
(31:54):
puts more air to the engine. Air is called boost,
so puts more air to the engine and that produces
more power.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And again I'm not afraid to ask a dumb question,
how does it put more air into the engine? How
physically does that happen?
Speaker 8 (32:11):
So?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Yeah, So basically the supercharger, it literally is a pump.
There are scrolls like you would have it a full
bump or a pump on a boat. That basically it's
a plump. Instead of pumping, you know, instead of pumping water,
it comes to air.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
So basically, the more air that that.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
Is forcing in the engine, you put it up. Deal
with that. It makes more horsepower. Simple as that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
So when you simple as that for you. So the
difference in driving this vehicle, how would I notice that?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
To start with?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Is this obviously? Is this gonna be faster off the line?
How's this going to feel different to drive?
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be faster everywhere. On our YouTube channel,
there's a video of a stock Raptor R racing the
bloss Drappor without and just immediately from the moment you
launched the trucks. The thousand or star one does out,
thure or three trucklaks ahead of it, and this keeps on.
So you know, you know it's not I mean, it's
(33:11):
something more powerful. Vehicles is not something that necessarily everybody needs.
But I always tell people were as much of the
entertainment business as we are the automotive business. Like nobody
needs to go to the Texans game, but they'll be
sold out every game of the season because people like
to entertain themselves and get excited about going to watch
the Texans the same reason somebody buys a guy like
Rogan and other clients buy a thousand more starting to
(33:33):
a truck because it's fun.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, there's a millionaire nextdoor book reading audience that says
I don't need that, that's a waste, and that's fine,
but some people find I enjoy in that type of thing.
John hole with me for a minute. We'll continue our
conversation and post it as a podcast in about twenty minutes.
But hold right there, you can we'll post a separate

podcast of me talking to John Hennessy. I'm going to

Lucking load. The Michael Berry Show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Willman.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Daddy left home when I was thirty three, and he
didn't need as much because Mama and me and he
was the only Indian on.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
The reservation named Roy. He'd watched them Tarzan videotapes and
sit there and get drunk as I ate.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And before he left he went and named me boy.
Then Mama said he said I wasn't his, and what
he said I was, I can't say, I guess.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
But I reckon.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I ain't nowhere a boy. All I know is before.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They got a divorce, he said something about crazy whores
and life ain't easy for a Sioux named boy. Well,
I thought I was an unfortunate lad. But then I
grew up when I saw they had a room named
after where people peed, and all them people.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They came and went, and me, I never made a cent.
So I got looking for what was coming to me.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And it was Baker's Field in mid October, and it'd
been a while since I'd been sober, and I hit
the palace.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
In my blue corduroys.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And out there dancing in his cowboy boots, just dancing
my kachiitah to the Bucker rouge.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Was that egg sucking sue that named me.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Boy When I went up and grabbed him by the collar,
and he said, boy, give me a dollar, and why
don't you get me and Jane a beer?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Where About that time, old.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Jane passed out and Dad went staggering through the crowd,
and I.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Caught up with him, and he said, let's get out
of here.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, we wound up splitting the patty milk, and I
told him just the way.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I felt, and he that He just looked at me
and took another bote.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I said, what's wrong? He said, I'm full. I said,
why didn't you name me sitting bull? And he said, boy,
give me a lot. He said, Boy, there ain't no
doubt have to the way that you turned out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
If I ever have another son, I.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Name him sweet Potato or two nuts or anything, but boy,
we gotta work it out.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
My name in the Ojibwe language is easy way with
down oukway, or in English speaks with a clear and
loud voice.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Woman.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I'm a member of the White Earth Nation and my
family is the Wolf Clan, and the role of our
plan is to ensure that we never leave anyone behind.
That's why I am supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walls
to be the next president and vice president of the
United States.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You know her talking about the fact that her Indian
name is that she talks too damn loud and much true.
Texans have driven it, and between Sageine and San Anton,
(03:29):
You'll never forget the first time you see there is
a sign that says woman hollering creek and the first
time you see it, you're driving. I love to drive
the Texas highways. My wife laughs. We went up to
Austin last weekend and she said, I forget that. The
(03:55):
reason we always had to have a ranch was not
because the ranch called you. It's because driving on Texas
Highways comes you. I am a different man. I am,
I am calm. She'll put her feet up on the
dashboard the way a woman's supposed to when you're driving along.
(04:18):
You got the open road. It's Texas. You read off
the various places and there's a story behind each one,
and you got your favorite place where you stop and
get this, and stop and get that. And I don't
know how old I was the first time I read that,
but it's one of those you can't believe you really
(04:39):
just read that woman hollering creek. It says it's on
I looked it up to get the exact It's on highway.
It's on FM fifteen eighteen, just north of Ien extra credit.
If you said that, if you know what it is
a trip of, then double extra credit. Which is Martinez Creek,
(05:07):
which is in and of itself a tributary of Sibylo Creek.
And I think that's pronounced Sibylo. Isn't it Cibolo? Why
am I asking you? You know, as much as you
drive the highways and byways of Texas, you don't know
how to pronounce anything which is in itself a tributary
of what river? San Anton River? Very good, ramon, Wow, Okay,
(05:30):
all right. The creek's name is probably a loose translation
of the Spanish li jorana, or the weeping woman. According
to legend, a woman who was recently who has recently
given birth, drowns her newborn in the river because the
father of the child either does not want it or
(05:52):
leaves with a different woman. The woman then screams in
anguish from drowning her child. After her her spirit then
haunted the location of the drowning and wales in misery.
The legend has many different variations, all of them relate
(06:13):
to a screeching, crazy, self important, narcissistic, absolutely psychotic looney woman.
And we have actual audio that was recorded at that creek.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Let me tell y'all about Texas leadership.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
I'm County Executive Lena Hidalgo and I serve the five
million residents of Harris County. Harris County includes Houston, Texas
Governor Ann Richards said, I've been.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Tested by fire and the fire lost. In the years
I've been in office, We've.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Dealt with chemical fires.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
We've dealt with ten floods, seven hurricanes, a deadly winter freeze,
and of course the pandemic. When that last disaster struck,
Donald Trump abandoned us, he spread misinformation that cost lives.
(07:27):
She's compar to twenty twenty one, when the Texas power
grid went dark, Kamala Harris didn't just put out a tweet.
She called me to make sure we had what we needed.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, I never saw any of it.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Over the years, I've learned that Kamala Harris always calls,
and not only does she call, she delivers.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
The very week she launched her campaign. She was down
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I noticed a theme of these FEMA.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
Assistance right after Hurricane minute.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Talk too loud, too much, Shela Lena Hidalgo, Neverma Harris.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
For the sake of politics, Harris, to protect our coman's
Indian name weather the Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I actually don't know her Indian name. She didn't give
it to help us with.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Just that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We should probably throw that open to the crowd and
let them choose it. Yes, deserve Lena Hidalgo's Indian name.
Clear the phone lines seven one thousand.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Distance of climate change and be created.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Don't be like that bitch.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, you gotta use something that applies to her. Good done,
Tamala Harris and Tim Michael.
Speaker 10 (08:56):

Liquor for the Orange Bureau of Confederate Businessman's how y'at
dur Did you know when you stop and spend the
night in Orange, Texas on your way to Houston or
Baton Rugs or Austin, you are supporting American owned businesses.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You can see it on the signs they put out front.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
They put them big ass US flags up there, and
you go in and not wanting men speak English, I
asks one him, what language do you speak? He talking
about Urdu and Hindi and Bengali and Bong and oh
my god, everything but Ebonney.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Poor Orange went so downhill.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
When I was coming up in here, they look on
the signists say Range Texas population twenty seven thousand some more.
And now it's done down to sixteen eighteen thousand. All
the white people went to Bridge City.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
This poletown is so broke down.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
We've been trying for years now to get an African
American Heritage museum up here, but the NAACP have all
died off, and the ones that's coming up, they ain't
got no time for that.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
They trying to put all their money in rap music
and videos for YouTube.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
And most of all where we're spending our money is
at the Pakistani Sember eleven, which is now replaced Sunrise Imports.
That's where everybody got they bones and instruments and a
tract tapes.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And you know, bling.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Blong and all this other English. You get that at
any Pakistani seven eleven. Now, you know, pakistanis really is
driving our economy.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Indians is pretty good, but they don't clean up good.
They don't wipe the floor. You know who is good?
And Vietminise now to vietman Ese.
Speaker 9 (12:23):
They cannot speak a word of English, but they say
things like your foot feel good.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
I have to admire and something about these Asian people.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
I know it's a stereotype and you're not supposed to
do that, but they do work hard. They don't mind
squatting down, They not addicted the stories, they don't smoke
on the job.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
They never apply for no welfare.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
All right, now back to the Michael bed program all
over the world.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Honey, here go to Sara.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Is it tsrra or is it cz aarra of.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Fither Canadian listener t z zizara. I can't spend.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Our friend. Mister Hennessy has just built a one thousand
horsepower Ford Veloci vel Raptor for Joe Rogan. Press release says,
join us in congratulating American patriot and icon Joe Rogan,
who recently took delivery of his new twenty twenty four
(13:23):
Ford Raptor R equipped with the Hennessy Freedom Series Velociraptor
R one thousand package. Rogan, known for his love of
high performance vehicle vehicles, traded in his Mammoth one thousand
ram TRX for this new industry powerhouse. The truck, finished
(13:45):
in a striking shelter green, reflects both rugged durability and
sleek aesthetics. As an upgrade from his previous vehicle, the
Velociraptor R one thousand offers Rogan an unparalleled driving experience,
combining Hennessy's engineering excellence with Ford's legendary off road capabilities.
(14:08):
The Velociraptor Oh, I'm an idiot, it's not a Velociraptor R.
The R is just capitalized. I'm gonna reread this whole thing,
so I don't put the velocity. Okay, then I won't,
But y'all know that I goofed on that because there
was an R hanging out at the end. The Velociraptor
(14:30):
one thousand upgrade transforms the already formidable Ford Raptor R
into a beastly machine, boosting its performance to new heights.
Let's call Hennessy. You see, this is how you promote
your business. This is how you do it. Right here
(14:52):
this you do good work, and then you tell people
you did it from when I give you the number offline.
You do good work. And then the important thing Gordon
Bethune told me when I was running from mayor. He said,
(15:14):
my rule is tell the people what you're going to do,
do it, and then tell the people that you did it.
That's the thing a lot of people don't do.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Last week I put the question out tell me how
inflation is affecting your business? Do you know there are
some people that I can ask fifty eight different questions
on air and they will call up. You know why,
because then their name gets on the air and we
can't take them every time. It'd be weird, but they do.
(15:53):
Every business out there is affected by inflation. How many
people went to work that day depressed that they can't
seem to get more people to walk in because more
business solves the problem most of the time. Did you
get him more business? Walking through the door solves the
(16:13):
problem for most businesses. But you give them an opportunity
to spread their name and they don't do it. And
you've got to wonder, do you not understand that? That's
what I do. I tell stories, I share knowledge, I
help people market, I help people build their network. Why
(16:37):
wouldn't every business call up and say, my restaurant, here's
the name of it, here's where we are. Inflation's hurting
us because the price of beef is up. How many
people would hear that name? The problem for most business
is not that they're not good at what they do.
It's we have so many choices and you're forgotten over
(17:01):
the years. Anytime something comes up on food costs, I
would get an email from Tookies. Doesn't Tokies have two
like Tookies and something else. What's the other thing? Huh No,
not seafood. They have Tookies and they have another. There's
another restaurant right along that corridor where Tookie seafood. Okay,
all right, maybe it's another owner. There's another Oh maybe
(17:24):
it stomps. Yeah, yeah, But my point is, did you
get Hennessy? What's he doing? You left a message? He
might be building a tyrannosaurus. Huh how about that? But
my point is they don't just build a truck for Rogan.
(17:45):
They say, hey, can we tell the world we just
built this awesome truck for you. Here's the press release.
You can approve it, and Rogan's up for it. Yeah.
Famous people and brands stay right elevant by being talked about. Well,
guess what that's also true of your small business. You
(18:06):
got to be in the mix. Good looking truck, very
good looking truck. It's a thousand horsepower. I mean, how
many horsepower would Uncle Jerry's raptor had you know six
point fifty. Oh, so you're adding a significant Where are
you going to feel the difference? Really? Okay, I know
(18:28):
I'm not a horsepower. I'll admit it. I'm not a
horse the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
You merely adopted the doc.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I was born in.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Nobody in Texas shoul vote for the Democrats. Period, end
of story. Their policies hurt energy companies. Shall I list
for you the twenty four Fortune five hundred companies headquartered
in the Houston metro area. I think I will the
(19:04):
second one I'm going to list. Chevron only became headquartered
in Houston as of August second, when they announced they
were moving to the Houston area, and Schlumberge has principal
offices in Houston, Paris, London, and the Hague. They appear
(19:24):
on the Global five hundred list, but not on the
Fortune five hundred list, so they don't appear on this list,
but you could add them to it. These are their
ranks in the Fortune five hundred company list, and I'll
read them in order of our largest to the twenty
fourth biggest. Now, these are not only major companies in
(19:48):
billions of dollars, like Exi Mobile three hundred and forty
four billion dollars. That's payroll, that's office rent, that's sandwiches,
gasoline apartments, houses, lawnmn roofers, I mean, eye doctors, school taxes.
(20:14):
You don't want to drive those people away, but the
Democrats do, even the local Democrats. Sylvester Turner managed to
wrangle his way into being the head of the US
Mayor's Conference. And all they would do was past judgments
that we shouldn't have ail in gas companies. It's awful,
(20:35):
all right. With the seventh rank Exxon Mobile three hundred
and forty four billion dollars, seventh on the Fortune five hundred,
the Top Houston Company, fifteenth rank, Chevron twenty sixth rank,
Phillips sixty six at fifty four, Cisco the food Provider
sixty eight, Conaco, Phillips ninety enterprise Products Partner Partners, Dan
(20:59):
Duncans Will Company ninety two, Planes Holdings one hundred and
forty seven, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a descendant of the Great
Rod Canyon one forty nine, Occidental Petroleum one fifty NRG Energy,
And I bet the only reason anybody in the Greater
(21:21):
Houston community knows NRG is the stadium the own You
never hear about him otherwise. One sixty one, Baker Hughes
one sixty nine, eog Resources one seventy seven, Halliburton one
ninety two, Quanta Services one ninety nine, Waste Management two hundred,
(21:41):
Shineer Energy two twenty nine, Group one Automotive two fifty six,
Targo Resources two sixty eight, Kinder Morgan three twenty six,
Westlake Westlake Chemical four forty one, Center Point Energy fourv
(22:03):
four fifty four par Pacific Holdings, and four fifty five
a PA. The impact those companies have on our real
estate market, our taxing of local government, our schools, our charities,
(22:27):
our restaurants, our hospitals, the number of medical research dollars
don at it. It's just incredible why our government would
want you have enough international competition with every other country,
including state owned industry and our own government, because one
(22:51):
party in this country is up for it is doing
everything they can to destroy those people. And the problem
is most of these companies have decided, rather than fight
the Democrats toot the nail to defeat them, they have
decided to take their beating and give some money to
the Democrats and hope, hope that will reduce the amount
(23:14):
of beatings that they get. And that's why you end
up with what you end up with. Harley Davidson has
decided to do away with their DEI initiatives following tractor supply.
You think what it did to bud Light. The guy
(23:36):
who's head of Vannheuser Busch sorry, Silver Eagle Distributors, Johnny Johnson,
in this community is one of the nicest guys you
ever want to meet. Big support of our show. Years ago.
They used to endorse our show and they wanted me
to speak for michelob Ultra and I was only too
happy to do it. Now, we weren't a traditional place
(24:01):
for them to spend money and they didn't stay with us.
But I've remained friends with him over the years, and
anything we've ever needed for veterans, you name it, and
it wasn't his fault. The woman who did the Dylan
mulvaney thing had stated three weeks before that on a
podcast that bud Light needed to change its image from
(24:25):
white boys and Mexicans. Well, this poor guy, he's down
here building relationships, giving away free beers to my veterans' events,
to soccer games to this. A lot of people in
the country who are a distributor of a product and
they can't help what the national company does, and they
(24:48):
screwed the pooch for him. I don't know how much
they cost him. I don't know how much they hurt
his business. I know it hurt him bad, and he
had nothing to do with it and would have never
on that. I know nobody feel sorry for him. I
got that because I've told the story before. But it
breaks my heart because, honestly, every time I've ever asked,
(25:11):
most of the time you've never known it. Hey, uh,
they're doing this event over here, and we really need
some help for it. And they're going to raise money
for veterans or they're gonna never a question how much
you need. It'll be there so much so that two
weeks later I'll call back, Hey, Johnny sorrdy our text Johnny,
(25:32):
Sorry to bother you, but uh, I just want to
make sure, Michael, I told you you'll be there. You
don't have to worry about it ever. Again, everything we
ever asked for, and we're not the only ones. He
held a lot of causes around the community. Then they
go and do that bud light thing. It hurt him.
They had to. Now they've switched over. He's gonna adapt,
He's gonna run a business, got employees Tractor Supply. How
(25:53):
many good people worked at Tractor Supply. Wouldn't their fault now,
Harley Davidson has been nailed and they're like, oh, we
won't do it anymore. How did you allow the people
into your business who did do it? That's the problem.
Fire all those people. Never hire them. Back them, Michael Barrier.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Just say the word and I'll throw down sugary Q.
Church was really good today, wouldn't do Hung up?
Speaker 9 (26:20):
Girl, I'm trying to get this ninety seven cent cigarette lip. No,
you're not supposed to say church was good.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
You're supposed to be like Beverly Bay and say God
is good.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
Do you remember when.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I was baptized?
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Girl, you was not exactly baptized, if member said correctly.
That's the day we went to Park Down Mall and
you started jumping up and down in the fountains and
took off your brazira and then the police had to
come in there and tase your ass until you fell out.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Uh. And that's when you start speaking in.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Tongues Okay, I don't remember that. Well, of course, don't
you blackout drinking girl. I took what Tuesday the church today.
Something in earn It is called the Cowboy Church. Y'all
heard of this here.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Some white lady invited us out.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
I really needed to stop at the dollar stove on
the way home, so I just said, yes, honey, I
go church.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Y'all.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
It was a cowboy chair. Oh it made it's so nervous.
I was afraid I had accident and went to a
kukluk klam meeting.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Girl.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
I'm gonna be honest. Everybody was very, very nice and
polite and welcoming.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
There was not.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
One racial issue, one Christianity issue, one issue about the
way what Tuesday was dressed her quote unquote her. Nobody
raised a fuss about it. We was felt it welcomed,
and I felt like it was a good thing because
what the Cowboy Church. I don't know y'all heard about this,
(27:53):
but it's.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
A big thing in Earnest.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
People love to go there and they I don't know
what happened this rodeos and things, but it was hot.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
I ain't going to no more out those churches until
they get to past Halloween. I ain't playing that because
I am very by nature d high registoria and people
knows this about me. It's some of my medical alert bracelets.
But Cowboy Church was nice. It was nice hearing Michael
(28:24):
Barry talk about that bank the day.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
What that bank was called?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Go ahead on, girl.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
That's the first time I ever heard you expository anything, Kerr. Yeah,
the Counternational Bank. You know a lot of people in
Houston don't know this, but this man uh named doctor
Lincoln right here from Errange, that's the street right over
from my house, and he designed the entime Montrose neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Did y'all know that?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
I know Michael Barry, know that Michael Barry know everything
that ever was needed to be known about Range.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Now what I'm bosting to do?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:01):
What does the remain comfortable to see it? Sit your
ass down. Everything will be fine. Mike Berry had forgot
about the cannon ash.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The make of her is okay? Okay, t Bone Tom's
was the name of the other restaurant I couldn't think of.
It always comes up in that conversation. Well, John Hennessy
has deigned to join us for a moment on the program.
Normally we have to brag about him without him.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
Mister Hennessy, hey brother, has everything get here in Texas?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Do you have a good excuse of why you didn't
take my call when I rang earlier?
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Yeah, I was talking to my CPA.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
That was when you make too much money. So I
saw this story on the Joe Rogan Velociraptor. Pretty darn cool. Congratulations,
that's cool. I love it. Question for you because, as
you know, I'm not an under the hood guy. A
thousand horsepower forward velocirafter what did when? When did you
(30:08):
take delivery of it? Or did he drive it to you?
Speaker 11 (30:12):
So we helped him. We helped him buy the base
board wrapper our truck which is seven under horsepower from
Ford and then we take that and make a thousand
horse powers. So yeah, we built that with different bumpers
and wheels and tires and lights and brakes, and took
it over and delivered it to a Minute Studios a
few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So I don't need to know what he paid, but
if I was to have exactly what he had done,
what's the marginal cost aside from the base unit? What
would that cost me. I don't need to know what
he paid. She didn't know what that would cost.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
Well, so so rapter our sticker at one twelve, but
you can't buy him for much under like one. And
then we added about it another sixty five grand with
the modification, so I think all ends to ten and
that's what he paid.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
But yeah too, what is a.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
Ten thousand pickup truck? That's what I build a lot up.
That's crazy to think that somebody would pay to a
grand from pickup truck, but it's worth every penny.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
So, so to get from seven hundred horsepower to a
thousand horsepower, explain to me, like I'm a six year old,
because I don't understand horsepower and how you achieve it?
What is if I was, if I was in sixth grade?
How would you explain how that? How you do that?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Sure?
Speaker 11 (31:33):
Now that's a great question. Basically, an engine is a
big air pump, and so the more air that you
can pump through it and more fuel you can pump
through it, the more power you can make. So in
the case of the Rapper are seven hundred horse power
V eight from Ford and as a supercharger on the engine,
we basically, replace that supercharger with a larger supercharger that
(31:54):
puts more air to the engine. Air is called boost,
so puts more air to the engine and that produces
more power.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
And again I'm not afraid to ask a dumb question,
how does it put more air into the engine? How
physically does that happen?
Speaker 8 (32:11):
So?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Yeah, So basically the supercharger, it literally is a pump.
There are scrolls like you would have it a full
bump or a pump on a boat. That basically it's
a plump. Instead of pumping, you know, instead of pumping water,
it comes to air.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
So basically, the more air that that.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
Is forcing in the engine, you put it up. Deal
with that. It makes more horsepower. Simple as that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
So when you simple as that for you. So the
difference in driving this vehicle, how would I notice that?
Speaker 4 (32:42):
To start with?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Is this obviously? Is this gonna be faster off the line?
How's this going to feel different to drive?
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be faster everywhere. On our YouTube channel,
there's a video of a stock Raptor R racing the
bloss Drappor without and just immediately from the moment you
launched the trucks. The thousand or star one does out,
thure or three trucklaks ahead of it, and this keeps on.
So you know, you know it's not I mean, it's
(33:11):
something more powerful. Vehicles is not something that necessarily everybody needs.
But I always tell people were as much of the
entertainment business as we are the automotive business. Like nobody
needs to go to the Texans game, but they'll be
sold out every game of the season because people like
to entertain themselves and get excited about going to watch
the Texans the same reason somebody buys a guy like
Rogan and other clients buy a thousand more starting to
(33:33):
a truck because it's fun.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, there's a millionaire nextdoor book reading audience that says
I don't need that, that's a waste, and that's fine,
but some people find I enjoy in that type of thing.
John hole with me for a minute. We'll continue our
conversation and post it as a podcast in about twenty minutes.
