Speaker 4 (00:53):
I'm Dan now we are in trump.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Who Thank god it is over with Finally, I'm so
through here about it.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
And of course I'm not talking about the next time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'm talking about Michael bare birthday. God Almighty.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He always said, Oh I don't celebrate my birthday, But
how come we have to hear about it two weeks
coming in two weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Demand's so full of hubrisk he gonna have to call
oop steam.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh oh P S S T E A M. Dot
com is hubrist like vomit? Who let you in here?
We were both right. It's Lafite's blacksmith. Chris writes. It
(01:55):
only has one piano, though the dueling pianos you're thinking
of is Pad O'Brien. But you were thinking of Lafittes Blacksmith,
which gets going late with an old man behind the piano.
Lafitte's signature drink is the purple. Your Louisiana listeners will
know it, and Vanessa writes in New Orleans Lafittes Blacksmith
(02:18):
Shop is the oldest building in America to be used
as a bar. However, the Absinthe House, also originally owned
by Lafitte, is now the oldest bar in America. The
original oldest bar, I believe, was in Rhode Island, burned
down a few years ago by default, making Absinthe House
the oldest bar in America. There's some story I forget
(02:47):
what it is. Warrens in downtown Houston was a great
old bar many a time, back in the day. When
we'd end up downtown, you know, see a show at
the Alley Theater or do something, we'll wander or stagger
(03:07):
into Warrens, which is a great old bar. I don't
know if it's still there. But the other one is
there's one, uh what's it called. It's a person's name, belave,
it's a person's name. It's over it backs up to
the water, and it's one of these just slap dash
(03:28):
buildings that looks like it's been added on to forty
different times. There used to be uh Ah, I can't
remember the name of it. Somebody tell me what the
name of that old bar is. I think that's the oldest.
I think that's the oldest surviving building in Houston. Look,
(03:50):
I know these aren't going to be as old as
New Orleans. I'm just thinking about it. What made me
think of it? Uh, let's go to DJ DJ. You
were on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Go ahead, Hey Michael. Thanks. Uh. On election day, my
wife and I were flying to Barcelona for a wedding
and uh we uh you know, seven hour flight, we
lost seven hours on the clock and we were following
on our phones the election and it was just just
made for a great week in Spain. Can't say enough
(04:23):
about that culture and community. And uh we called it
the Barcelona miracle that that Trump won. We won the
Senate and then eventually the House came our way, but
it just set the tone for a great week. And
then went on to Madrid and when Kentucky came back
to beat Duke down too with twenty six seconds and
(04:45):
one by five, we called that the Madrid What do
we call that shell. I don't know, uh, Madrid magic,
but it was a it was a great week to
be over there.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, it was nothing but fun.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Ben, Ben, you are on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir,
I was quick.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Wow, it's been only ring one time. Hey, you were
talking about the Warrens Bar. You know they owned the
Locker ap too.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Locker Raph. That's it, That's what I was thinking of. Yeah,
that's the one I was thinking of. Oh, I think
is the oldest business. It's not the only the oldest
bar in Houston. I think it's the oldest extant building
or the old oldest surviving business to remain in operation
(05:42):
in Houston. I believe that it's true. It's been there
basically since Paul wrote the letter to the Thessalonians. It's old.
It's very old. Chris, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Let's say you, sir, hi doing Michael Berry.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I'll try to be quick about this. I think a
lot of people voted for Trump this go around because
they're tired of the erosion of the fabric of our society.
And that goes for most First world nations right now.
For example, Elon Musk posted this tweet of Rachel Halliwell
(06:20):
and what she said here, for example, is my son,
who is sixteen, will be sentenced on the third of
December for the Southport's Rights It's his first offense. His
sister was groomed, raped and beaten at twelve years old
in Southport. She killed herself failed after being failed by
Maryside Police, sept in Council, Stanley High School and c
(06:44):
a MHS. Her inquest starts the thirteenth of January. Her
brother is now going to prison.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's just.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
People are sick and tired of the government basically kind
of being the enemy to the people. And this is
a big wake up call and this sweeping victory is
just a God sends and I couldn't be happier. And
if the you know, Looney's on the left, don't want
to get married or have babies or asadecs and all
(07:15):
these things, they can do what they want, but the
truth is going to prevail over time, and they're going
to see the light eventually. And I think that I
don't know if they do for our nation.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I don't know that they will, And honestly, I don't
care if they do. My days of neighborly love are over.
I no longer wish to help them, educate them, improve them.
Those days were over. We tried that it didn't work.
I wish to crush them, and I mean that. I
wish to crush them and destroy them. I wish to
(07:48):
burn down everything that all the temples they have built
to their evil. And I mean this, I wish to
destroy everything that they have done that has harmed our country.
You know, they're now all over CNN, MSNBC, all over
the media, all over online. They are referring to Robert F.
(08:09):
Kennedy Jr. Who will be the new Health and Human
Services Secretary, that he is a science denier. That's what
they're calling him, a science denier. I want to remind
you the current Assistant Health Secretary is a biological man
(08:30):
who dresses as Miss Piggy in a uniform and claims
to be a woman. And all these people who claim
that rfk jor denies the science, refer to Miss Piggy
in a uniform as a woman. I'm done with them.
I want to crush them. I want to fix this country,
(08:52):
protect our kids, and destroy the left. And I mean
destroy the left.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I need a friend of mine, very professionally successful, earning
great money. Early part of his is a lawyer, early
part of his career ten years in. This is when
you grind as a lawyer. This is when you grind
big firm lawyers. This is the tough part. Got two
(09:22):
little children, a two year old and a few months old,
so they're not sleeping. It's working hard. And where my wife,
I'm very close to him, the whole family, and we
get the news that he's got that he was I
(09:44):
guess just getting his teeth cleaned. See, this is why
you don't go to the doctor, amone, because then if
you don't go to the doctor and they don't tell
you got something wrong, it's almost like you don't have
anything wrong. So they said, you need to go to
an oral surgeon. You got it some kind of tumor
or growth in your mouth. So they came over to
(10:05):
the house and I'm fighting back tears because I'm thinking,
there's no way this is not awful. There's no way
this is normal, because he was at the Dennist six
months or a year ago and this wasn't picked up then,
and there's no way something's this fast growing and not
(10:26):
a problem. So anyway, they they go in, they they
take a biopsy of it, cut his mouth all the
hell to get enough to sample it, and it turns
out it is a fast growing but benign tumor. And
(10:50):
so he goes to a maxillofacial surgeon. I just like
to use the word maxillo facial because I've never known
what that means, but that's what's always on the door
an oral surgeon. So he goes there and say, uh,
we'll have to take out four teeth.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Four teeth.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Bottom. I don't know that it matters, but why did
you ask? Bottom? So anyway, so he says, you know
what should I do? So I have been calling oral
surgeons this week because I want him to get a second, third, fourth,
fifth opinion. You know, before you go taking out your teeth,
and I mean, they'll put replacement teeth in now you
(11:34):
can get you can get your buddy Guy Lewis to
do that. Can't you put him some nice teeth in there? Anyway?
So I say all that to say this. He is
a runner. He'll run. He can run fifteen miles at
a time. He has the lowest body fat of anybody
(11:54):
I know, even lower than my wife. And that's saying something.
He eats right, he doesn't drink or smoke. He was
getting a full night of sleep. It's important to him.
He as a sleep monitor. But you know, you got kids,
You're not sleeping anymore. That for a few years there
maybe never again. He does everything right and all of
(12:17):
a sudden boom, something sneaks up on you, and there,
but for the grace of God, that could have been malignant.
And I tell you all that to remind you that
we are not promised tomorrow. So when we go to
breakon just a moment, I want you to pick up
the phone and call one person and say, hey, you
(12:40):
can do some version of I love you, you can do it.
I appreciate you. Want you to know I appreciate you.
I want you to know I don't want to take
for granted, you know, the one I have because Ramon
requires a lot of attention and be good, you know,
(13:01):
because Jim's role is he will send uh something that's
been produced, and I get it gives me an opportunity
to compliment him on that and on a trend of that.
But the one I forget, not the one I fail
to say this enough to is Chad, because Chad is
behind the scenes, unlike Ramon, He's not you know, dramatic
(13:24):
and causing him. You know, I don't have to devote
a bunch of attention to all the things going on
with him. He just he just keeps the trains running,
and that is in our business very important. Anyway. That
is your reminder to do, to make the memories before
they're gone. To take a moment and thank someone or
(13:45):
tell someone you love them when we go to Breakton,
just a moment, but first, oh it's too early. Okay,
we'll do a real quick call. Then, uh, Kevin, you're
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Go ahead, Happy fifty ninth anniversary to my mom and dad,
Phyllis and Larry Bainbridge. Yes, I'm his brother, are you Kevin?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
My mom?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I'm Kevin.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh I should have known that I called your name out. Yeah,
uh yeah, I know your brother. He's a good man.
He's all right, he's a great guy. He's a he's
an old HPD guy. Very isn't he like uh Spring
Branch isd Police?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Now, yes, he's the chief of police Spring Branch Chisty.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Because right when he got
in he started raising hell uh, they had to put
down a rabid turn right after he got there, and
then he was in the news. That's right, Yeah, yeah,
that's uh. That's when people found out things are changing
over there. What a great guy. Fifty nine. Boy, he's
(14:58):
older than I thought he was. U Uh speaking of
Chad Nakanishi, it is that time, because I've forgotten for
the first hour and a half, Curtsey, the greatest executive
producer in all the land, chatted Cony KNOCKANESHI your week
in review. The line in Smoking the Bandit where Jackie
(15:21):
Gleason talking a little food shoots out and it hits
Burt Reynolds, and Burt Reynolds flicks it off. Think he's
out of permission and that's kidnapping. How's that behind? You
got be thinking that I haven't heard anybody mention having
indigestion in a long time. Somehow, some way, there's gotta
(15:43):
be an answer to this.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Long time Republican leader Mitch McConnell is stepping down, and
Senator John Cornyt is one of three front runners to
replace it. John Cornyn is now lobbying his own party
for a promotion new Senate majority of Leader Senator John.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Fun came down to Fun and Corny and Thune one
by a vote of twenty nine to twenty four. Well, Michael,
what has John Cornyan done?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Row?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, he sells us down the river. He ensures that
Obamacare and bad bills Green New Deal get passed.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Willis ISD is asking voters to approve a proposed sixty
eight million dollars football stadium for its lone high school in.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
The districts, and Willis ISD voted down a sixty nine
million dollars bond for a new high school football stadium.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You can't possibly think it's a good idea for these
school districts to keep floating bonds to build massive football stack.
Oh I do, Michael. I love my Friday night football.
Good pay for it. Houston getting some world class recognition
after six restaurants were awarded with Michelin stars. I think
(16:46):
it's much ado about nothing pretentious. BS. We started talking
about Michael Berry Show award kind of the anti Micheline awards.
And that is a food that you eat and love,
that is the opposite of high blayde Hamburgers, lane bund
greeny peanut butters.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Hotted cheese with faked beans on top of the bell
bey the cheese ketchup and.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
White bread for my wife would be cucumber sandwich. For Ramone,
it's a potato salad sandwich. Is there anywhere in town
that makes a potato salad sandwich?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
From levitians to librarians, everyone listens to Michael Berry show,
it's sixty six.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It was fifty two this morning when we went off.
We went on air. So I threatened yesterday afternoon that
I was going to make a fire last night. My
wife says, stop cold enough, man, I'm from Orange, Texas.
When it gets below eighty, you don't understand. I'm fired up.
(18:06):
So it was I don't know, it was probably sixty
seven or sixty eight last night. But if you sit
out in shorts and a T shirt and pretend you
kind of transport yourself to Colorado, And so I did,
and I got one of those overpriced stoves or what
was overpriced it's called a solo stove a few years ago,
(18:32):
and so I fired it up. The only good news
to come out of a hurricane Beryl was in the
trees that fell in my house is that when Lewis
Flores folks came and cut up the trees. I had
them take a little extra time and make me a
(18:53):
bunch of extra firewood. So it felt good to get
to use the trees from the from our property while
sitting outside. And I'm not a greeny weenie, don't worry,
but I do have this kind of you know, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust. I am a recycler, but
(19:15):
not to save the earth or to virtue signal or
to make other people happy. I'm a recycler because I
like the efficiency of it. It just gives me a
good feeling, you know, like when you threw your socks
on the floor before you went to bed and your
wife hasn't seen them yet, and you pick it up
and smell it and it doesn't smell real bad, so
(19:37):
you put them back on again and she doesn't know.
It is a good feeling, you know what I mean. Yeah, So,
getting to use that wood and Lewis cutting it up
for me real nice like that, it was a good feeling.
Now I'm gonna get a hundred emails asking me should
I get a solo stove, And the answer is, if
you have money to burn, yes, they're perfectly fine. They're overpriced,
(20:01):
terribly overpriced for what they are. But here is the
problem with them. So their big selling point is that
they are smokeless, and that is mostly true, but you
have to understand what that means. What that means is
they are basically a silo, and it pushes the smoke
(20:26):
through the silent or in a silo going north. I
don't want to hear from all you engineers and people
with a lot of common sense. This is how I
explain it is how I understand it. I'm not real
smart on technical stuff, so just hear me out. So
the smoke there is still smoke. It's just that the
smoke doesn't dissipate out right like a baffle would push.
(20:49):
So if you're sitting around a fireplace, there is smoke
that comes off of wood. It's natural. Depends on what
kind of wood you get, there is smoke that comes
off of it, and it's gonna get on you. And
then when the wind blows, which is why the smoke
hits you, it's gonna you're gonna so you spend the
whole night hiding from the smoke. Wherever you go, the
(21:11):
smoke seems to trail after you. What this does is
shoot the smoke straight up. So in that sense it's
a more enjoyable experience. Here's the problem. The smoke that
comes off that gets on you when you don't have
a solo stove because you know, as the wind blows,
it pushes the smoke is also the heat. So with
(21:33):
this particular unit, it's blowing the it's it's directing the
smoke directly up, but also the heat. So you got
to get right up on it to feel any heat
because the walls of it are not are not giving
off any heat. It's the direct fire and the direct fire.
It's now I've seen there's people that there's a there's
(21:56):
a outdoor fireplace out there now that is that has
a pipe like a stovepipe coming out of the top
that goes up about and I meant to get one
last year and try it out. So you have your
fire down below. It's like a it's like a portable
uh fireplace. You got your fire down below. And then
(22:20):
I guess the idea is like a chimney and has
a port you know, so it's and you could move
it around. I don't know how much it weighs. It
should have wheels. And then you can drop it down.
But that's all I have to say about that. The
place that I recommend for firewood is called I think
(22:42):
it's called Indian Head, and you looked that up for me.
I think it's called Indian Head. Now, Uh, they're hiring
a cat's ass. Don't go over there and then send
me an email and tell me they're expensive. They're very expensive.
Indian had fire. Yes, they are very expensive. But they've
(23:05):
got some woods that you don't find that I don't
find very often. And I like the pinion. I love
the smell of that pinion that they've got. They've got it.
It's Steve Alvis that owns it. For those of you
who know who, Steve Alvis is at New Quest and
(23:27):
he's got a ranch. As I understand it, I'm not
friends with Steve Alvias. I've just been told this, as
I understand that, he's got a big ranch in New
Mexico and the ranch is just full of pinion trees.
So he decided people, you know, all my rich buddies
in Houston would like to burn pinion trees. So he
made a little business out of it, and so he
(23:48):
rented a I'm making all this up. I don't know
that this is true. I just suspect this is true.
He just rented a little kind of a high end
industrial warehouse were off North Post Oak and they he
sends a crew out there. They fell a bunch of
trees and they bring them in and they cut them up,
and you go in there and buy it. Although I
(24:11):
think the River Oaks and Tanglewood crowd. You just pick
up the phone and call Indian had firewood and they
I mean, it's white glove service.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It is.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I did it one time, just to spoil myself for
my birthday. And they literally come out, they set a
rack up for you. They put all your firewood, They
stack it real nice. That's that's living right there now.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
With his finger on the pulse, the King of Team
continues on the Michael Berry Show, Well, we.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Are entering a period of a gut check. This is
like two days. You're gonna have to ask yourself if
you're ready to be a winner, because many, many, many
people maybe not you, but if you're honest, many many people,
(25:04):
I'll say, it's everybody but you. Everybody butt you falls
into this category here it is you maybe voted for
Obama a lot of people did that won't admit it.
At least the first time, we needed a black president,
you know, because Michael, you know, there is racism out there,
(25:24):
and you know, just to be a good thing, you know,
if we had a black president, just get you know,
kind of get that past us. You know, that's why
we had to have Lee Brown. Same thing ruined Houston
City Hall. And you thought Rodney was a good guy.
You know, it's others are kind of crash and you
don't really care for Trump, but you know, you kind
(25:45):
of halfway did a good job. But it was okay
he lost in twenty twenty because you know, all the
drama and everything was just getting to be too much.
You know, every day it was fighting. At least now,
at least now politics won't be in the news every day,
it won't be so bad. And then and then you
(26:06):
realized that when they're in power, that they're going to
get away with everything they possibly can, and it's going
to destroy your life, your financial life, your personal life,
your school, your child's life. Crime will be rampant, all
of it, all of it's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And so.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You decided that you were going to go ahead and
support Trump, and then you found out that everybody you
knew was supporting Trump, and it was okay to say
you were supporting it. And then it kind of became cool.
And then some cool people came out publicly for Trump,
you know, and so and then you know, you went
to your kids college football game, and it turns out
all the moms were dressing you know, they were bleaned
(26:50):
out and you know, spangled Trump stuff. So it kind
of became the hip cool thing, and you were a
circle to be for Trump. And so you're for Trump.
And then and you know, you kind of wish he
wouldn't do something, and.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Why do you have to do that?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
And why do you have to do wish you would
do that.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
I wish we do that.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I wish we need to do that. And you know,
I mean sometimes he embarrasses me, and so you're not
really one hundred percent in. But then he won, and
now you want him to be nice. I want him
to play nice. Michael, can't he just play nice? Why
does he have to do all that?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Well?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Does he have to say those things? Why can't he
just play nice? You know, like he can't help himself, Michael,
he can't help himself Why can't he just be nice?
Why does he have to do all that? It's not necessary, Michael.
And now we have entered the phase where he's doing
what he said he would do, and all the people,
(27:48):
all the people who sat by and cheerleaded for Joe
Biden and then Kamala Harris are screeching and you're scared.
You don't like this, you don't want to have to
defend this. It was fun when you went to the
ballgame in your red, white and blue and look at this.
(28:08):
I've got a Trump jacket and a Trump shirt and
Trump earrings. Look at it, and so exciting. But now
we're down to the nutcut. Now it's war because guess what.
The Department of Defense, it's as corrupt as it can
possibly be. You're not going to go in there and
(28:30):
make nice for four years and fix anything. The Department
of Justice, the FBI. Do you have any idea how
corrupt it is. The person who's going to be the
person who's the FBI director is going to report to
is the Attorney General, whether that's Matt Gates or Ken
Passion or whatever. That's going to be someone that you
might not like at your dinner parties because they're the
(28:51):
turd in the punch bowl. That's going to be an
absolute wrecking ball. And you've never been around a person
like that because you like to make nice. You like
everybody to be nice. Just everybody, just be nice, don't know,
I gotta have such strong opinions. We're listen, we're inviting
Sherry over. And remember her husband is a scream in liberal.
(29:11):
So we are not talking about politics in this house.
So the other twenty Trump supporters in this house, we're
not talking about politics because I don't want to get
in I don't want to have some big argument because
being nice is more important than winning, isn't it. Let's
be honest, being nice and not having conflict is more
(29:31):
important than winning. So all of a sudden, we have
forgotten what they did to us. We have forgotten what
they did to the schools, the inflation, the illegal immigration,
all your money to Ukraine, that's all forgotten. Now we're
in charge. We don't like to be in charge because
now we're responsible. We don't like to have to defend something.
(29:52):
So what do you say? You say, no, I did
vote for him. I admitted i'd vote for it, And
you're right, I think he goes too far sometimes, and
I wouldn't be for any of those people. It just
gives me heartburn. And I don't know why he has
to do it like this. I don't and you know,
but I you know, there's another election in two years,
and I guess, oh, kick them out.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I don't know what to say, because you're not ready
for the war. You're not. There's a big bridge to
cross that goes from I'm unhappy with the way things
were to I'm going to fix it, because fixing it
means firing people, and people who get fired don't like
(30:32):
to be fired, so they fight back. Fixing it means
putting people in prison. It means kicking people out of
the country. It means kicking people out of their jobs.
It means exposing people who are powerful people, some of
whom are very nice people, some of whom are Republicans,
some of whom are former icons of the movement of
(30:54):
the Party of the Nation, some of whom are veterans,
some of whom are esteemed people who've been governors and senators.
Some of them went to college with you, maybe in
the same fraternity, some of whom you've known a long time.
If you really want to fix the problem, it's going
(31:16):
to get ugly. Just telling you it's going to get ugly,
I'd rather tell you now because the headlines are going
to come. Pete Hegseth is a murdering pedophile, like what
would upset you the most. We're gonna accuse him of that,
and you know FBI has files on him. FBI has
files on Matt Gates. FBI's got a file on you
for going to the school board meeting. Burn it all down.
I'm just telling you it's coming. So when that first
(31:38):
headline hits and you go, oh my god, here it goes,
they're gonna get Trump screwed up this time? Did Trump
really say that? What would you say if somebody shot
you in the head and convicted you of thirty four
crimes and raided your house, what would you say,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Pretty little lady, I was coming to bread Christian.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
We're all gonna be like three little Fanzi's here and
what's Fanzie like?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Come on you, Linda, what's body like?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What wreck?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Fimundo?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
And that's what we're.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Gonna be you.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Some pictures couldn't close an umbrella?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
What's happening in my special partner?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I'm Dan now we are in trump.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Who Thank god it is over with Finally, I'm so
through here about it.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
And of course I'm not talking about the next time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'm talking about Michael bare birthday. God Almighty.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He always said, Oh I don't celebrate my birthday, But
how come we have to hear about it two weeks
coming in two weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Demand's so full of hubrisk he gonna have to call
oop steam.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh oh P S S T E A M. Dot
com is hubrist like vomit? Who let you in here?
We were both right. It's Lafite's blacksmith. Chris writes. It
(01:55):
only has one piano, though the dueling pianos you're thinking
of is Pad O'Brien. But you were thinking of Lafittes Blacksmith,
which gets going late with an old man behind the piano.
Lafitte's signature drink is the purple. Your Louisiana listeners will
know it, and Vanessa writes in New Orleans Lafittes Blacksmith
(02:18):
Shop is the oldest building in America to be used
as a bar. However, the Absinthe House, also originally owned
by Lafitte, is now the oldest bar in America. The
original oldest bar, I believe, was in Rhode Island, burned
down a few years ago by default, making Absinthe House
the oldest bar in America. There's some story I forget
(02:47):
what it is. Warrens in downtown Houston was a great
old bar many a time, back in the day. When
we'd end up downtown, you know, see a show at
the Alley Theater or do something, we'll wander or stagger
(03:07):
into Warrens, which is a great old bar. I don't
know if it's still there. But the other one is
there's one, uh what's it called. It's a person's name, belave,
it's a person's name. It's over it backs up to
the water, and it's one of these just slap dash
(03:28):
buildings that looks like it's been added on to forty
different times. There used to be uh Ah, I can't
remember the name of it. Somebody tell me what the
name of that old bar is. I think that's the oldest.
I think that's the oldest surviving building in Houston. Look,
(03:50):
I know these aren't going to be as old as
New Orleans. I'm just thinking about it. What made me
think of it? Uh, let's go to DJ DJ. You
were on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Go ahead, Hey Michael. Thanks. Uh. On election day, my
wife and I were flying to Barcelona for a wedding
and uh we uh you know, seven hour flight, we
lost seven hours on the clock and we were following
on our phones the election and it was just just
made for a great week in Spain. Can't say enough
(04:23):
about that culture and community. And uh we called it
the Barcelona miracle that that Trump won. We won the
Senate and then eventually the House came our way, but
it just set the tone for a great week. And
then went on to Madrid and when Kentucky came back
to beat Duke down too with twenty six seconds and
(04:45):
one by five, we called that the Madrid What do
we call that shell. I don't know, uh, Madrid magic,
but it was a it was a great week to
be over there.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, it was nothing but fun.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Ben, Ben, you are on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir,
I was quick.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Wow, it's been only ring one time. Hey, you were
talking about the Warrens Bar. You know they owned the
Locker ap too.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Locker Raph. That's it, That's what I was thinking of. Yeah,
that's the one I was thinking of. Oh, I think
is the oldest business. It's not the only the oldest
bar in Houston. I think it's the oldest extant building
or the old oldest surviving business to remain in operation
(05:42):
in Houston. I believe that it's true. It's been there
basically since Paul wrote the letter to the Thessalonians. It's old.
It's very old. Chris, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Let's say you, sir, hi doing Michael Berry.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I'll try to be quick about this. I think a
lot of people voted for Trump this go around because
they're tired of the erosion of the fabric of our society.
And that goes for most First world nations right now.
For example, Elon Musk posted this tweet of Rachel Halliwell
(06:20):
and what she said here, for example, is my son,
who is sixteen, will be sentenced on the third of
December for the Southport's Rights It's his first offense. His
sister was groomed, raped and beaten at twelve years old
in Southport. She killed herself failed after being failed by
Maryside Police, sept in Council, Stanley High School and c
(06:44):
a MHS. Her inquest starts the thirteenth of January. Her
brother is now going to prison.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's just.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
People are sick and tired of the government basically kind
of being the enemy to the people. And this is
a big wake up call and this sweeping victory is
just a God sends and I couldn't be happier. And
if the you know, Looney's on the left, don't want
to get married or have babies or asadecs and all
(07:15):
these things, they can do what they want, but the
truth is going to prevail over time, and they're going
to see the light eventually. And I think that I
don't know if they do for our nation.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I don't know that they will, And honestly, I don't
care if they do. My days of neighborly love are over.
I no longer wish to help them, educate them, improve them.
Those days were over. We tried that it didn't work.
I wish to crush them, and I mean that. I
wish to crush them and destroy them. I wish to
(07:48):
burn down everything that all the temples they have built
to their evil. And I mean this, I wish to
destroy everything that they have done that has harmed our country.
You know, they're now all over CNN, MSNBC, all over
the media, all over online. They are referring to Robert F.
(08:09):
Kennedy Jr. Who will be the new Health and Human
Services Secretary, that he is a science denier. That's what
they're calling him, a science denier. I want to remind
you the current Assistant Health Secretary is a biological man
(08:30):
who dresses as Miss Piggy in a uniform and claims
to be a woman. And all these people who claim
that rfk jor denies the science, refer to Miss Piggy
in a uniform as a woman. I'm done with them.
I want to crush them. I want to fix this country,
(08:52):
protect our kids, and destroy the left. And I mean
destroy the left.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I need a friend of mine, very professionally successful, earning
great money. Early part of his is a lawyer, early
part of his career ten years in. This is when
you grind as a lawyer. This is when you grind
big firm lawyers. This is the tough part. Got two
(09:22):
little children, a two year old and a few months old,
so they're not sleeping. It's working hard. And where my wife,
I'm very close to him, the whole family, and we
get the news that he's got that he was I
(09:44):
guess just getting his teeth cleaned. See, this is why
you don't go to the doctor, amone, because then if
you don't go to the doctor and they don't tell
you got something wrong, it's almost like you don't have
anything wrong. So they said, you need to go to
an oral surgeon. You got it some kind of tumor
or growth in your mouth. So they came over to
(10:05):
the house and I'm fighting back tears because I'm thinking,
there's no way this is not awful. There's no way
this is normal, because he was at the Dennist six
months or a year ago and this wasn't picked up then,
and there's no way something's this fast growing and not
(10:26):
a problem. So anyway, they they go in, they they
take a biopsy of it, cut his mouth all the
hell to get enough to sample it, and it turns
out it is a fast growing but benign tumor. And
(10:50):
so he goes to a maxillofacial surgeon. I just like
to use the word maxillo facial because I've never known
what that means, but that's what's always on the door
an oral surgeon. So he goes there and say, uh,
we'll have to take out four teeth.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Four teeth.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Bottom. I don't know that it matters, but why did
you ask? Bottom? So anyway, so he says, you know
what should I do? So I have been calling oral
surgeons this week because I want him to get a second, third, fourth,
fifth opinion. You know, before you go taking out your teeth,
and I mean, they'll put replacement teeth in now you
(11:34):
can get you can get your buddy Guy Lewis to
do that. Can't you put him some nice teeth in there? Anyway?
So I say all that to say this. He is
a runner. He'll run. He can run fifteen miles at
a time. He has the lowest body fat of anybody
(11:54):
I know, even lower than my wife. And that's saying something.
He eats right, he doesn't drink or smoke. He was
getting a full night of sleep. It's important to him.
He as a sleep monitor. But you know, you got kids,
You're not sleeping anymore. That for a few years there
maybe never again. He does everything right and all of
(12:17):
a sudden boom, something sneaks up on you, and there,
but for the grace of God, that could have been malignant.
And I tell you all that to remind you that
we are not promised tomorrow. So when we go to
breakon just a moment, I want you to pick up
the phone and call one person and say, hey, you
(12:40):
can do some version of I love you, you can do it.
I appreciate you. Want you to know I appreciate you.
I want you to know I don't want to take
for granted, you know, the one I have because Ramon
requires a lot of attention and be good, you know,
(13:01):
because Jim's role is he will send uh something that's
been produced, and I get it gives me an opportunity
to compliment him on that and on a trend of that.
But the one I forget, not the one I fail
to say this enough to is Chad, because Chad is
behind the scenes, unlike Ramon, He's not you know, dramatic
(13:24):
and causing him. You know, I don't have to devote
a bunch of attention to all the things going on
with him. He just he just keeps the trains running,
and that is in our business very important. Anyway. That
is your reminder to do, to make the memories before
they're gone. To take a moment and thank someone or
(13:45):
tell someone you love them when we go to Breakton,
just a moment, but first, oh it's too early. Okay,
we'll do a real quick call. Then, uh, Kevin, you're
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Go ahead, Happy fifty ninth anniversary to my mom and dad,
Phyllis and Larry Bainbridge. Yes, I'm his brother, are you Kevin?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
My mom?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I'm Kevin.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh I should have known that I called your name out. Yeah,
uh yeah, I know your brother. He's a good man.
He's all right, he's a great guy. He's a he's
an old HPD guy. Very isn't he like uh Spring
Branch isd Police?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Now, yes, he's the chief of police Spring Branch Chisty.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Because right when he got
in he started raising hell uh, they had to put
down a rabid turn right after he got there, and
then he was in the news. That's right, Yeah, yeah,
that's uh. That's when people found out things are changing
over there. What a great guy. Fifty nine. Boy, he's
(14:58):
older than I thought he was. U Uh speaking of
Chad Nakanishi, it is that time, because I've forgotten for
the first hour and a half, Curtsey, the greatest executive
producer in all the land, chatted Cony KNOCKANESHI your week
in review. The line in Smoking the Bandit where Jackie
(15:21):
Gleason talking a little food shoots out and it hits
Burt Reynolds, and Burt Reynolds flicks it off. Think he's
out of permission and that's kidnapping. How's that behind? You
got be thinking that I haven't heard anybody mention having
indigestion in a long time. Somehow, some way, there's gotta
(15:43):
be an answer to this.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Long time Republican leader Mitch McConnell is stepping down, and
Senator John Cornyt is one of three front runners to
replace it. John Cornyn is now lobbying his own party
for a promotion new Senate majority of Leader Senator John.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Fun came down to Fun and Corny and Thune one
by a vote of twenty nine to twenty four. Well, Michael,
what has John Cornyan done?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Row?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, he sells us down the river. He ensures that
Obamacare and bad bills Green New Deal get passed.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Willis ISD is asking voters to approve a proposed sixty
eight million dollars football stadium for its lone high school in.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
The districts, and Willis ISD voted down a sixty nine
million dollars bond for a new high school football stadium.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You can't possibly think it's a good idea for these
school districts to keep floating bonds to build massive football stack.
Oh I do, Michael. I love my Friday night football.
Good pay for it. Houston getting some world class recognition
after six restaurants were awarded with Michelin stars. I think
(16:46):
it's much ado about nothing pretentious. BS. We started talking
about Michael Berry Show award kind of the anti Micheline awards.
And that is a food that you eat and love,
that is the opposite of high blayde Hamburgers, lane bund
greeny peanut butters.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Hotted cheese with faked beans on top of the bell
bey the cheese ketchup and.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
White bread for my wife would be cucumber sandwich. For Ramone,
it's a potato salad sandwich. Is there anywhere in town
that makes a potato salad sandwich?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
From levitians to librarians, everyone listens to Michael Berry show,
it's sixty six.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It was fifty two this morning when we went off.
We went on air. So I threatened yesterday afternoon that
I was going to make a fire last night. My
wife says, stop cold enough, man, I'm from Orange, Texas.
When it gets below eighty, you don't understand. I'm fired up.
(18:06):
So it was I don't know, it was probably sixty
seven or sixty eight last night. But if you sit
out in shorts and a T shirt and pretend you
kind of transport yourself to Colorado, And so I did,
and I got one of those overpriced stoves or what
was overpriced it's called a solo stove a few years ago,
(18:32):
and so I fired it up. The only good news
to come out of a hurricane Beryl was in the
trees that fell in my house is that when Lewis
Flores folks came and cut up the trees. I had
them take a little extra time and make me a
(18:53):
bunch of extra firewood. So it felt good to get
to use the trees from the from our property while
sitting outside. And I'm not a greeny weenie, don't worry,
but I do have this kind of you know, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust. I am a recycler, but
(19:15):
not to save the earth or to virtue signal or
to make other people happy. I'm a recycler because I
like the efficiency of it. It just gives me a
good feeling, you know, like when you threw your socks
on the floor before you went to bed and your
wife hasn't seen them yet, and you pick it up
and smell it and it doesn't smell real bad, so
(19:37):
you put them back on again and she doesn't know.
It is a good feeling, you know what I mean. Yeah, So,
getting to use that wood and Lewis cutting it up
for me real nice like that, it was a good feeling.
Now I'm gonna get a hundred emails asking me should
I get a solo stove, And the answer is, if
you have money to burn, yes, they're perfectly fine. They're overpriced,
(20:01):
terribly overpriced for what they are. But here is the
problem with them. So their big selling point is that
they are smokeless, and that is mostly true, but you
have to understand what that means. What that means is
they are basically a silo, and it pushes the smoke
(20:26):
through the silent or in a silo going north. I
don't want to hear from all you engineers and people
with a lot of common sense. This is how I
explain it is how I understand it. I'm not real
smart on technical stuff, so just hear me out. So
the smoke there is still smoke. It's just that the
smoke doesn't dissipate out right like a baffle would push.
(20:49):
So if you're sitting around a fireplace, there is smoke
that comes off of wood. It's natural. Depends on what
kind of wood you get, there is smoke that comes
off of it, and it's gonna get on you. And
then when the wind blows, which is why the smoke
hits you, it's gonna you're gonna so you spend the
whole night hiding from the smoke. Wherever you go, the
(21:11):
smoke seems to trail after you. What this does is
shoot the smoke straight up. So in that sense it's
a more enjoyable experience. Here's the problem. The smoke that
comes off that gets on you when you don't have
a solo stove because you know, as the wind blows,
it pushes the smoke is also the heat. So with
(21:33):
this particular unit, it's blowing the it's it's directing the
smoke directly up, but also the heat. So you got
to get right up on it to feel any heat
because the walls of it are not are not giving
off any heat. It's the direct fire and the direct fire.
It's now I've seen there's people that there's a there's
(21:56):
a outdoor fireplace out there now that is that has
a pipe like a stovepipe coming out of the top
that goes up about and I meant to get one
last year and try it out. So you have your
fire down below. It's like a it's like a portable
uh fireplace. You got your fire down below. And then
(22:20):
I guess the idea is like a chimney and has
a port you know, so it's and you could move
it around. I don't know how much it weighs. It
should have wheels. And then you can drop it down.
But that's all I have to say about that. The
place that I recommend for firewood is called I think
(22:42):
it's called Indian Head, and you looked that up for me.
I think it's called Indian Head. Now, Uh, they're hiring
a cat's ass. Don't go over there and then send
me an email and tell me they're expensive. They're very expensive.
Indian had fire. Yes, they are very expensive. But they've
(23:05):
got some woods that you don't find that I don't
find very often. And I like the pinion. I love
the smell of that pinion that they've got. They've got it.
It's Steve Alvis that owns it. For those of you
who know who, Steve Alvis is at New Quest and
(23:27):
he's got a ranch. As I understand it, I'm not
friends with Steve Alvias. I've just been told this, as
I understand that, he's got a big ranch in New
Mexico and the ranch is just full of pinion trees.
So he decided people, you know, all my rich buddies
in Houston would like to burn pinion trees. So he
made a little business out of it, and so he
(23:48):
rented a I'm making all this up. I don't know
that this is true. I just suspect this is true.
He just rented a little kind of a high end
industrial warehouse were off North Post Oak and they he
sends a crew out there. They fell a bunch of
trees and they bring them in and they cut them up,
and you go in there and buy it. Although I
(24:11):
think the River Oaks and Tanglewood crowd. You just pick
up the phone and call Indian had firewood and they
I mean, it's white glove service.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It is.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I did it one time, just to spoil myself for
my birthday. And they literally come out, they set a
rack up for you. They put all your firewood, They
stack it real nice. That's that's living right there now.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
With his finger on the pulse, the King of Team
continues on the Michael Berry Show, Well, we.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Are entering a period of a gut check. This is
like two days. You're gonna have to ask yourself if
you're ready to be a winner, because many, many, many
people maybe not you, but if you're honest, many many people,
(25:04):
I'll say, it's everybody but you. Everybody butt you falls
into this category here it is you maybe voted for
Obama a lot of people did that won't admit it.
At least the first time, we needed a black president,
you know, because Michael, you know, there is racism out there,
(25:24):
and you know, just to be a good thing, you know,
if we had a black president, just get you know,
kind of get that past us. You know, that's why
we had to have Lee Brown. Same thing ruined Houston
City Hall. And you thought Rodney was a good guy.
You know, it's others are kind of crash and you
don't really care for Trump, but you know, you kind
(25:45):
of halfway did a good job. But it was okay
he lost in twenty twenty because you know, all the
drama and everything was just getting to be too much.
You know, every day it was fighting. At least now,
at least now politics won't be in the news every day,
it won't be so bad. And then and then you
(26:06):
realized that when they're in power, that they're going to
get away with everything they possibly can, and it's going
to destroy your life, your financial life, your personal life,
your school, your child's life. Crime will be rampant, all
of it, all of it's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And so.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You decided that you were going to go ahead and
support Trump, and then you found out that everybody you
knew was supporting Trump, and it was okay to say
you were supporting it. And then it kind of became cool.
And then some cool people came out publicly for Trump,
you know, and so and then you know, you went
to your kids college football game, and it turns out
all the moms were dressing you know, they were bleaned
(26:50):
out and you know, spangled Trump stuff. So it kind
of became the hip cool thing, and you were a
circle to be for Trump. And so you're for Trump.
And then and you know, you kind of wish he
wouldn't do something, and.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Why do you have to do that?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
And why do you have to do wish you would
do that.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
I wish we do that.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I wish we need to do that. And you know,
I mean sometimes he embarrasses me, and so you're not
really one hundred percent in. But then he won, and
now you want him to be nice. I want him
to play nice. Michael, can't he just play nice? Why
does he have to do all that?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Well?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Does he have to say those things? Why can't he
just play nice? You know, like he can't help himself, Michael,
he can't help himself Why can't he just be nice?
Why does he have to do all that? It's not necessary, Michael.
And now we have entered the phase where he's doing
what he said he would do, and all the people,
(27:48):
all the people who sat by and cheerleaded for Joe
Biden and then Kamala Harris are screeching and you're scared.
You don't like this, you don't want to have to
defend this. It was fun when you went to the
ballgame in your red, white and blue and look at this.
(28:08):
I've got a Trump jacket and a Trump shirt and
Trump earrings. Look at it, and so exciting. But now
we're down to the nutcut. Now it's war because guess what.
The Department of Defense, it's as corrupt as it can
possibly be. You're not going to go in there and
(28:30):
make nice for four years and fix anything. The Department
of Justice, the FBI. Do you have any idea how
corrupt it is. The person who's going to be the
person who's the FBI director is going to report to
is the Attorney General, whether that's Matt Gates or Ken
Passion or whatever. That's going to be someone that you
might not like at your dinner parties because they're the
(28:51):
turd in the punch bowl. That's going to be an
absolute wrecking ball. And you've never been around a person
like that because you like to make nice. You like
everybody to be nice. Just everybody, just be nice, don't know,
I gotta have such strong opinions. We're listen, we're inviting
Sherry over. And remember her husband is a scream in liberal.
(29:11):
So we are not talking about politics in this house.
So the other twenty Trump supporters in this house, we're
not talking about politics because I don't want to get
in I don't want to have some big argument because
being nice is more important than winning, isn't it. Let's
be honest, being nice and not having conflict is more
(29:31):
important than winning. So all of a sudden, we have
forgotten what they did to us. We have forgotten what
they did to the schools, the inflation, the illegal immigration,
all your money to Ukraine, that's all forgotten. Now we're
in charge. We don't like to be in charge because
now we're responsible. We don't like to have to defend something.
(29:52):
So what do you say? You say, no, I did
vote for him. I admitted i'd vote for it, And
you're right, I think he goes too far sometimes, and
I wouldn't be for any of those people. It just
gives me heartburn. And I don't know why he has
to do it like this. I don't and you know,
but I you know, there's another election in two years,
and I guess, oh, kick them out.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I don't know what to say, because you're not ready
for the war. You're not. There's a big bridge to
cross that goes from I'm unhappy with the way things
were to I'm going to fix it, because fixing it
means firing people, and people who get fired don't like
(30:32):
to be fired, so they fight back. Fixing it means
putting people in prison. It means kicking people out of
the country. It means kicking people out of their jobs.
It means exposing people who are powerful people, some of
whom are very nice people, some of whom are Republicans,
some of whom are former icons of the movement of
(30:54):
the Party of the Nation, some of whom are veterans,
some of whom are esteemed people who've been governors and senators.
Some of them went to college with you, maybe in
the same fraternity, some of whom you've known a long time.
If you really want to fix the problem, it's going
(31:16):
to get ugly. Just telling you it's going to get ugly,
I'd rather tell you now because the headlines are going
to come. Pete Hegseth is a murdering pedophile, like what
would upset you the most. We're gonna accuse him of that,
and you know FBI has files on him. FBI has
files on Matt Gates. FBI's got a file on you
for going to the school board meeting. Burn it all down.
I'm just telling you it's coming. So when that first
(31:38):
headline hits and you go, oh my god, here it goes,
they're gonna get Trump screwed up this time? Did Trump
really say that? What would you say if somebody shot
you in the head and convicted you of thirty four
crimes and raided your house, what would you say,
