Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's Michael Berry's Show is sponsored by the Evil. Between
nineteen seventy two and nineteen seventy seven, the Ideal Toy
Company released a series of Evil Canievl related merchandise. During
the six years the toys were manufactured, Ideal claimed to
have sold more than one hundred and twenty five million
(00:22):
dollars worth of Canievl toys, which, as you know, has
the same buying power as six hundred and seventy eight
million dollars today. The toys included the original nineteen seventy
two action figures and I don't care what your sister said,
they weren't dolls, they were action figures, damn it. And
nineteen seventy three, Ideal released the Evil. After the release
(00:46):
of the stunt cycle, the Knievl toys were the best
selling item for the Ideal Toy Company. During the next
four years, Ideal Toys released various models relating to the
Canevral's Touring stunt show. The models included a Rob Knieveldal,
the Scramble van At Dragster, a stunt car, and the
Evil Knieval Stunt World. Additionally, Ideal released non Knieval Touring toys,
(01:10):
including a chopper motorcycle, a trailbike, and a female counterpart,
Dairy Daring. The last item marketed by Ideal before it
discontinued the distribution of Knieval toys was the Strato cycle
based on the film Viva Knieval.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is Evil Canieval and the Evil CANEVL shock absorbing
stunt cycle. You can make them do wheelies, backstands, even
midair summersaults. And for that big jump, here's Evil up
and over that four foot ditch. Evil Canieval sold separately
(01:49):
or with the Evil CANEVL stunt cycle from Ideal.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But I'm not a lot to I'm fifty two years old,
and that music got me wound up, like, yeah, you can,
you can do it. You know he jumped a snake?
What was it? Uh? What was the big jump he did?
Was it the snake Canyon? Is that right? Did I
get that right? You know? I read a biography of
him a few years ago, and the premise of the
(02:16):
biography was, you like Evil Knievel, but he was a really,
really bad guy. He was a crusty, salty, evil, mean
dude that you wouldn't like if you met him. I
remember thinking, gosh, evil Knievel. You're not a nice guy.
What do I care? It gives him a little character.
(02:38):
You don't want Evil Knievel to be like your nice
next door day where you go and mow their grass.
Far You want Evil Canebra to be mean. You want
him to owe people a bunch of money in a
lot of different states before you could catch somebody on
the internet for doing that. You want to know, You
want to know he's colorful, colorful. I tell you of
all the things to steal. Your buddy still head of
(03:00):
the cops at the galason Port. See if you can
get him on the is it Brown? What's his last name?
Kevin Brown? So Ramon. Ramon has the weirdest set of friends.
He'll just randomly have some friend in a position that
you would never expect his friend to be in. And
one of those is his buddy is the head of
(03:23):
the Galveston Port Police. Is that what it's called?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Okay. At one point I was going to fire Ramon,
and I told that on the air, and his buddy
called him and said, hey, uh, just so you know,
if if he fires, you can come down here and
go to work. And I thought, man, oh man, Kevin Brown,
Kenneth Kenneth Sorry, Kenneth Brown. Yes, let me get his
(03:48):
name right, because I'm about to tell you what a
goober this guy is. He says, Hey, Ramone, Uh, I know,
you know, I know what's going on there at work. No,
you know what, I you know what I I heard
me say on the air. It's not like you got
an investigative unit following the situation. And he said, I
just want you to know you can come to work
down here. And I couldn't help it. All I could
(04:12):
imagine was there's Ramon walking around in his little uniform.
Huh yeah, man, messy some id I'm getting on this
carnival cruise and the Carnival Cruise ticketing agent's right there.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I know.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I just you know, as a you might see my
badge here, as a Galveston Port Police officer, I have
a full authority within three hundred feet of the port
to requisition and request identification on the grounds of the port,
you know, with the security concerns. Well, my boy, Kenneth
(04:49):
Brown needs to get on it because guess what just
happened yesterday morning? Seven A M. Poe Poe at the
Port of Galveston or search for a man who stole
a shrimp boat from the docks and then ran in
aground at seven am. Huh. Well, I mean, I guess
(05:10):
if you're going to steal a shrimp boat, you probably
got to do that pretty early in the morning, right.
That's that's one of those things that you can't really
wait around. On Port of Galveston, Popo called about a
stolen shrimp boat at Peer nineteen, the public dock near
the city's downtown along the Galaston Ship Channel. The pier
(05:32):
is home to Galveston's Mosquito Fleet, the nickname for the
shrimpers who have used the same berths since the eighteen fifties. Wow,
that's impressive. I mean that that's a little bit of
history that you wouldn't exactly expect since the eighteen fifties.
(05:55):
Popo said. A man boarded the boat the antenna and
backed it out of the slip where it was moored,
damaging two other boats at the pier. Okay, it kind
of adds to the story that he can't captain the boat.
He's crashing stuff up as he's pulling out. The man
(06:18):
piloted the ship east down the ship channel before running
into ground at Pier seven, about half a mile from
where it was taken. Popo say the boat sustained significant
damage from the crash. Investigators they believe they know who
the man was, and we're seeking an arrest warrant. I'll
(06:42):
bet you they know who he is. I'll bet you
they know exactly who he is, because the kind of
guy that's going to steal a shrimp boat, not know
how to pilot it, tear it all to hell. Yeah,
that's the guy that is homeless and has probably stolen
(07:02):
five boats before. It just didn't make the news. What
are you doing if you're Kenneth Brown that you're sitting
in your office and one of your officers calls you
and says, uh, hey, boss, uh we just gotta uh
we just got a call. Hey they uh they had
(07:27):
uh you know old man Win because he's Vietnamese. I
guarantee you you know old man went baby. You know
there's nineteen Wins out of twenty Vietnamese families that runs
tramp boats here. You're right, You're right. You know tweet
(07:49):
Wins that made you know, seventeen of them have a
daughter named Twee. That's a good point, Okay, Uh he's
got can you member his first name of his daughter's Twee,
and his other son is Truck Bobby. Seven of them
have a son named Truck as well. What's the problem here, Well, sir,
(08:11):
you're not gonna believe this, But about seven o'clock this morning,
you know, crazy Red. It's normally over on Broadway from
the gas station, naked wanking it. Yeah, he stole his ears.
He stole over truck.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Wow, the Michael Verry Show, the.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Evil Canevil stunt cycle rum ideal.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Let's go, Steve. All systems rookie here. The winds are
Westernlein and ten nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, this is nass one.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm calling ten seconds now ten seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Rusher zero five four three two one.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Knucking money rock, poking down here with every record name.
We're coming bard with derecise name.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I got.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive, gentlemen, we can
rebuild him. We have the technology, we have the capability
to make the world's first by on a man. Steve
(09:46):
Austin will be that matter, better than he was before, better, stronger.
Speaker 9 (09:57):
Faster man.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
When you were about eight years old and that music
queued right there, you like I could do that if
you think about running outside and sprinting through the backyard
and this one hundred and five.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Degrees in Texas heat, but in your mind, sitting there
eating your cereals on the bean bag bonic man? WHOA
that true story? First time I had dinner with Lee Majors,
I literally would kind of stare at him and think
(10:41):
to myself, you never know, I mean that some of
it might have been real. Some of that they might
have written around who he already was. You know, maybe
he did have some parts for replaced that could do
amazing things. Anyway, So the story is out at the
Port of Galveston seven am yesterday, oh apparently to law
(11:02):
enforcement down in Galveston. Your boy, Kenneth Brown is Kenny Brown.
Kenneth was what he was back in school, maybe back
when the teacher was telling him to sit down and
stop eating his buggers. But now he's Kenny Brown. That's
what Jimmy Fullen does. Kenny Brown. Oh, Kenny. Kenny says
he's friendly, but don't get too friendly because that'd be ken. Right.
(11:24):
Kenny is like, he's still a good dude, but he's
an adult, right, Like Kenny Duncan Jr. Or like it's
the difference between Colin ken Stabler or Kenny Stabler. Though
I shouldn't say it because I don't make damn pastor
any man anyway. So this dude steals the shrimp boat,
which he's not able to pilot very well, and I
(11:47):
don't I don't think he meant to run that boat
of ground. Truth be told. Because you've just stole him
to shrimp boat. You might go tooling around for a while.
I think he's I saw an old friend and he
became overjoyed. That's what I think happened. I think he
was on the shrimp boat. He had soolen, he saw
(12:08):
an old friend he never expected to see, jumped off
the boat and swam to his friend. And thanks to
our Galveston connections, don't want to get buy in trouble.
We have obtained surveillance footage of the Pier seven area
where it ran aground. Ramon, let it row. What are
(12:28):
you doing here?
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Well, I thought i'd try out my sea legs for.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
You think I know legs the canny day.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
Yes, I know that you wrote me a letter, idiot. Well, well,
Captain Florest Gum, I had to see this for myself.
And I told you if you were ever a shrimp
boat captain that I'd be your first mate. Well here
I am. I am a man of my word. Okay, yeah,
(13:01):
but don't you be thinking that I'm gonna be calling
you sir Nosa.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's my boat, you know. Apparently we hit a nerve
on the Ramone as a Galveston Port Police officer in
his uniform. I'm not gonna tell you some of the
things people are sending in because some of these are
people that you know, and it might make you, uh,
(13:37):
it might make you laugh. I like to imagine Ramona
is one of those over zealous Barney Fife kind of cops.
There he is with his Port commansion. I hope the
Port Commission has off colored uniforms, you know what I mean,
Like you see officers with the forest green or something.
I hope they have uniforms that are real distinctive. You know,
it's a Port Commission officer. I can imagine Ramon, like
(13:58):
Barney fIF sitting at his desk and writing songs about
his imagined exploits.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
In a jail house down and Dick. He's fighting crime
and risking life. Well a share of Andy's body, pistol
pack and Barney fire and oh my dear and all
my dere and Barney five. He's a deadly crime stopper.
(14:27):
What a copper, Barney five. One day there come a
ride and two bad men to Robbie Bank. But Fife
was tricky. I did I did henther locked up in
the tank?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh my Barney. He had a jail and couldn't lock it.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Had one ball it for his pistol, had to keep
it in his pocket.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Imagine the first guy that rolled out the laugh track. Hey, John,
we got this great thing. Now when you hear it's
gonna blow your mind. I'm gonna add it to a
scene and I want you to watch. You put a
live audience in there. Nope, I got a button I
can push. Look at this cause the first time they
(15:17):
heard it, they didn't know what that was. They know
where it came from. Somebody came up with this idea
of a laugh track. And if you listen carefully, which
we used to do, if you recall, you would notice
that they had like five different ones. One of them
would roll from back to front. One of them would
have this one woman. She's giggling, just a little too loud.
They'd be all sorts of different laughs, so you wouldn't
(15:40):
think it was the same one, and they were just
hitting a button. And then I was reading a book
about this. I can't remember what the year was, somewhere
in the seventies where it just abruptly stopped and when
it stopped, it stopped. They never came back. So imagine
you're the guy that didn't get the memo and you go, hey, Tom,
(16:01):
go ahead and put a laugh track. I've marked in
red where I want you to put the laugh tracks.
She'll be about seventeen times in thirty minutes. Oh oh no, Sam,
are you serious? Laugh tracks are so last week? Nobody's
doing laugh tracks anymore. You talking about We've been doing
laugh tracks for twenty years. No, no, they'll laugh us out.
(16:22):
We can't do that. The reason we played Steve Austin
did girls have lunchboxes? You know what's funny. I've been
in a lot of conversations that as an adult male
that somehow come back to our lunch box. And I
have never heard a girl say, well, my lunch box
was Molly Mullweather or you know that, you never you
(16:46):
never hear did girls she's not eat because the boys lunchbox.
I had an Evil Knieval lunchbox. That was my deal
and probably the most popular lunchbox that gets mentioned today
and it comes up all the time is the Lee Majors. Uh,
there's one with Lee Majors and Paul McCartney. Is that right? Yeah,
(17:09):
it's real weird. It's it's an odd collaboration, and you
wonder what they were thinking. I'll find it here during
the break. But that brings us to our question the
earliest lunch box. You remember, it'll be a lightning round.
Be ready, know your information and you will answer the year,
(17:34):
your age at that time, the town where it happened,
and if it's Houston, you tell what elementary you went
to and the box we got that So for me
it would be nineteen seventy six, Loreena Oates Elementary, Orange,
Texas Evel. You know how the players they like to
(18:01):
hold what college they went to? Ohio State?
Speaker 12 (18:06):

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Weighed in to tell us that the late great Dorothy
Loretta Mud, his mother, who passed away last year, wrote
my name, address and telephone number on the inside of
the lid. Boy, if you were to do that today,
if I were to say, you know, maybe write the
identifying feature, because when we were kids, the big concern
(18:42):
was a kid would get lost, so you'd want to
put something with them that they'd get lost. If I
were actually just that story alone, there's some woman right
now going to her computer and write me anymore, Michael,
Have you put that they're gonna get They're gonna know
where you live, come get you by I literally get
(19:04):
on average one email a day, which doesn't sound like
that much, but it adds up from somebody who says
something I've done has endangered somebody. You were talking to
that woman on the radio and you asked her where
she lived and she said Houston, And now somebody can
just go there and get her, Michael. Every day these

We didn't have a fixed meal. You know, you either
brought your lunch or you bought your lunch.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
If you bought your lunch, what were the options.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
You picked? You know, you went down the roll and
you just pick what you wanted, man, I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Remember what it's called. We had two lines. They were
in separate entrances, and one was the set meal for
the day and you'd go in and it was whatever
they were irving and you got that. And the other
one was a concession. I can't remember what that one
was called, but it was a big deal and we
got two dollars for lunch, and you knew what you

In the nail bag. Stephen writes, the reason you don't
know about Fireball XL five is you weren't born yet.
And there was another besides the Thunderbirds, which was a
spaceship fleet stingray a mini sub. Sandy says, she's a girl.
I had a soft sided twiggy mailbox. It was oval
(26:10):

not counting now. John J. Kennedy from Nashville, Tennessee rights
I worked as a professional laugher on the final season
of the Nanny In the nineties, a crew of about
twenty of us got paid to sit in the stands
on filming day and laugh in the appropriate places. We
(26:31):
got to eat with the cast and crew, and we
were well taken care of. Chad writes nineteen eighty one,
Lowry Elementary School, Houston, Dukes of Hazzard with the leaky
thermost that got your sandwich wet. Now that's a memory
right there. Doris writes Czar, I've been bringing the podcast.
I've been binging, sorry the podcast, and I heard your
(26:55):
story about the woman named Beth Dick, and I couldn't
resist sharing my topper. It was in the frequent flyer
program in Aero Mexico, and our computer capabilities were behind
the industry standard. We took transfers of mileage points from
American Express for purchase of tickets, but we didn't have
electronic capabilities. We had to have physical computer tapes, which
(27:15):
MX only shipped once a week. We had to make
the reservation and wait for the mileage transfer. Some people
don't have demanding enough jobs so they still play silly pranks.
So imagine my surprise when we actually got the mileage
transfer for Richard drips, Sincerely, Red Edwards Lawrence. Sybil Lawrence

horrible movie, so horrible it's great. And finally, Steven writes, Zar,
(28:03):
I listen to you every day. I'm applauding some of
your suggestions to life. At fifty six, I'm saying goodbye
to one career and jumping into another, starting afresh. A
few weeks ago, I enrolled. I enrolled in truck driving
school and got my CDLA license. Learning to parallel park
a semi is something else. I start my new job tomorrow,
(28:25):
but it's twelve weeks of training. I won't be able
to hear the show during this time. Oh there's the
podcast in the evening show, but it's not the same.
Good news. Once I finish my training, I'll be able
to listen to you from my rig ten to four,
over and out. Keep up the great work and the
best radio show on earth. Stephen, Well, that's a nice message,
and James writes, this is Wilson It's a picture of
(28:48):
a fellow and his dog on a bench out in
front of a motel. He's the good will ambassador here
at the Longhorn Ranch motel, just south of Study Butte
out in Big Bend. He knows no strangers, and he
works for snacks. If you ask him, he'll pray, he'll
kneel with his paws together. He has a pocket full
of high fives and handshakes. Such a good boy. When
(29:08):
we arrived, he ran up to me like an old friend.
If I sit on this bench, he leaps up beside
me and forces his head under my arm. Buddies for life,
or until some other sucker retreats happens along. How about that?

Today's Michael Berry's Show is sponsored by the Evil. Between
nineteen seventy two and nineteen seventy seven, the Ideal Toy
Company released a series of Evil Canievl related merchandise. During
the six years the toys were manufactured, Ideal claimed to
have sold more than one hundred and twenty five million
(00:22):
dollars worth of Canievl toys, which, as you know, has
the same buying power as six hundred and seventy eight
million dollars today. The toys included the original nineteen seventy
two action figures and I don't care what your sister said,
they weren't dolls, they were action figures, damn it. And
nineteen seventy three, Ideal released the Evil. After the release
(00:46):
of the stunt cycle, the Knievl toys were the best
selling item for the Ideal Toy Company. During the next
four years, Ideal Toys released various models relating to the
Canevral's Touring stunt show. The models included a Rob Knieveldal,
the Scramble van At Dragster, a stunt car, and the
Evil Knieval Stunt World. Additionally, Ideal released non Knieval Touring toys,
(01:10):
including a chopper motorcycle, a trailbike, and a female counterpart,
Dairy Daring. The last item marketed by Ideal before it
discontinued the distribution of Knieval toys was the Strato cycle
based on the film Viva Knieval.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is Evil Canieval and the Evil CANEVL shock absorbing
stunt cycle. You can make them do wheelies, backstands, even
midair summersaults. And for that big jump, here's Evil up
and over that four foot ditch. Evil Canieval sold separately
(01:49):
or with the Evil CANEVL stunt cycle from Ideal.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But I'm not a lot to I'm fifty two years old,
and that music got me wound up, like, yeah, you can,
you can do it. You know he jumped a snake?
What was it? Uh? What was the big jump he did?
Was it the snake Canyon? Is that right? Did I
get that right? You know? I read a biography of
him a few years ago, and the premise of the
(02:16):
biography was, you like Evil Knievel, but he was a really,
really bad guy. He was a crusty, salty, evil, mean
dude that you wouldn't like if you met him. I
remember thinking, gosh, evil Knievel. You're not a nice guy.
What do I care? It gives him a little character.
(02:38):
You don't want Evil Knievel to be like your nice
next door day where you go and mow their grass.
Far You want Evil Canebra to be mean. You want
him to owe people a bunch of money in a
lot of different states before you could catch somebody on
the internet for doing that. You want to know, You
want to know he's colorful, colorful. I tell you of
all the things to steal. Your buddy still head of
(03:00):
the cops at the galason Port. See if you can
get him on the is it Brown? What's his last name?
Kevin Brown? So Ramon. Ramon has the weirdest set of friends.
He'll just randomly have some friend in a position that
you would never expect his friend to be in. And
one of those is his buddy is the head of
(03:23):
the Galveston Port Police. Is that what it's called?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Okay. At one point I was going to fire Ramon,
and I told that on the air, and his buddy
called him and said, hey, uh, just so you know,
if if he fires, you can come down here and
go to work. And I thought, man, oh man, Kevin Brown,
Kenneth Kenneth Sorry, Kenneth Brown. Yes, let me get his
(03:48):
name right, because I'm about to tell you what a
goober this guy is. He says, Hey, Ramone, Uh, I know,
you know, I know what's going on there at work. No,
you know what, I you know what I I heard
me say on the air. It's not like you got
an investigative unit following the situation. And he said, I
just want you to know you can come to work
down here. And I couldn't help it. All I could
(04:12):
imagine was there's Ramon walking around in his little uniform.
Huh yeah, man, messy some id I'm getting on this
carnival cruise and the Carnival Cruise ticketing agent's right there.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I know.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I just you know, as a you might see my
badge here, as a Galveston Port Police officer, I have
a full authority within three hundred feet of the port
to requisition and request identification on the grounds of the port,
you know, with the security concerns. Well, my boy, Kenneth
(04:49):
Brown needs to get on it because guess what just
happened yesterday morning? Seven A M. Poe Poe at the
Port of Galveston or search for a man who stole
a shrimp boat from the docks and then ran in
aground at seven am. Huh. Well, I mean, I guess
(05:10):
if you're going to steal a shrimp boat, you probably
got to do that pretty early in the morning, right.
That's that's one of those things that you can't really
wait around. On Port of Galveston, Popo called about a
stolen shrimp boat at Peer nineteen, the public dock near
the city's downtown along the Galaston Ship Channel. The pier
(05:32):
is home to Galveston's Mosquito Fleet, the nickname for the
shrimpers who have used the same berths since the eighteen fifties. Wow,
that's impressive. I mean that that's a little bit of
history that you wouldn't exactly expect since the eighteen fifties.
(05:55):
Popo said. A man boarded the boat the antenna and
backed it out of the slip where it was moored,
damaging two other boats at the pier. Okay, it kind
of adds to the story that he can't captain the boat.
He's crashing stuff up as he's pulling out. The man
(06:18):
piloted the ship east down the ship channel before running
into ground at Pier seven, about half a mile from
where it was taken. Popo say the boat sustained significant
damage from the crash. Investigators they believe they know who
the man was, and we're seeking an arrest warrant. I'll
(06:42):
bet you they know who he is. I'll bet you
they know exactly who he is, because the kind of
guy that's going to steal a shrimp boat, not know
how to pilot it, tear it all to hell. Yeah,
that's the guy that is homeless and has probably stolen
(07:02):
five boats before. It just didn't make the news. What
are you doing if you're Kenneth Brown that you're sitting
in your office and one of your officers calls you
and says, uh, hey, boss, uh we just gotta uh
we just got a call. Hey they uh they had
(07:27):
uh you know old man Win because he's Vietnamese. I
guarantee you you know old man went baby. You know
there's nineteen Wins out of twenty Vietnamese families that runs
tramp boats here. You're right, You're right. You know tweet
(07:49):
Wins that made you know, seventeen of them have a
daughter named Twee. That's a good point, Okay, Uh he's
got can you member his first name of his daughter's Twee,
and his other son is Truck Bobby. Seven of them
have a son named Truck as well. What's the problem here, Well, sir,
(08:11):
you're not gonna believe this, But about seven o'clock this morning,
you know, crazy Red. It's normally over on Broadway from
the gas station, naked wanking it. Yeah, he stole his ears.
He stole over truck.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Wow, the Michael Verry Show, the.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Evil Canevil stunt cycle rum ideal.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Let's go, Steve. All systems rookie here. The winds are
Westernlein and ten nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, this is nass one.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm calling ten seconds now ten seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Rusher zero five four three two one.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Knucking money rock, poking down here with every record name.
We're coming bard with derecise name.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I got.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive, gentlemen, we can
rebuild him. We have the technology, we have the capability
to make the world's first by on a man. Steve
(09:46):
Austin will be that matter, better than he was before, better, stronger.
Speaker 9 (09:57):
Faster man.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
When you were about eight years old and that music
queued right there, you like I could do that if
you think about running outside and sprinting through the backyard
and this one hundred and five.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Degrees in Texas heat, but in your mind, sitting there
eating your cereals on the bean bag bonic man? WHOA
that true story? First time I had dinner with Lee Majors,
I literally would kind of stare at him and think
(10:41):
to myself, you never know, I mean that some of
it might have been real. Some of that they might
have written around who he already was. You know, maybe
he did have some parts for replaced that could do
amazing things. Anyway, So the story is out at the
Port of Galveston seven am yesterday, oh apparently to law
(11:02):
enforcement down in Galveston. Your boy, Kenneth Brown is Kenny Brown.
Kenneth was what he was back in school, maybe back
when the teacher was telling him to sit down and
stop eating his buggers. But now he's Kenny Brown. That's
what Jimmy Fullen does. Kenny Brown. Oh, Kenny. Kenny says
he's friendly, but don't get too friendly because that'd be ken. Right.
(11:24):
Kenny is like, he's still a good dude, but he's
an adult, right, Like Kenny Duncan Jr. Or like it's
the difference between Colin ken Stabler or Kenny Stabler. Though
I shouldn't say it because I don't make damn pastor
any man anyway. So this dude steals the shrimp boat,
which he's not able to pilot very well, and I
(11:47):
don't I don't think he meant to run that boat
of ground. Truth be told. Because you've just stole him
to shrimp boat. You might go tooling around for a while.
I think he's I saw an old friend and he
became overjoyed. That's what I think happened. I think he
was on the shrimp boat. He had soolen, he saw
(12:08):
an old friend he never expected to see, jumped off
the boat and swam to his friend. And thanks to
our Galveston connections, don't want to get buy in trouble.
We have obtained surveillance footage of the Pier seven area
where it ran aground. Ramon, let it row. What are
(12:28):
you doing here?
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Well, I thought i'd try out my sea legs for.
Speaker 11 (12:35):
You think I know legs the canny day.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
Yes, I know that you wrote me a letter, idiot. Well, well,
Captain Florest Gum, I had to see this for myself.
And I told you if you were ever a shrimp
boat captain that I'd be your first mate. Well here
I am. I am a man of my word. Okay, yeah,
(13:01):
but don't you be thinking that I'm gonna be calling
you sir Nosa.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's my boat, you know. Apparently we hit a nerve
on the Ramone as a Galveston Port Police officer in
his uniform. I'm not gonna tell you some of the
things people are sending in because some of these are
people that you know, and it might make you, uh,
(13:37):
it might make you laugh. I like to imagine Ramona
is one of those over zealous Barney Fife kind of cops.
There he is with his Port commansion. I hope the
Port Commission has off colored uniforms, you know what I mean,
Like you see officers with the forest green or something.
I hope they have uniforms that are real distinctive. You know,
it's a Port Commission officer. I can imagine Ramon, like
(13:58):
Barney fIF sitting at his desk and writing songs about
his imagined exploits.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
In a jail house down and Dick. He's fighting crime
and risking life. Well a share of Andy's body, pistol
pack and Barney fire and oh my dear and all
my dere and Barney five. He's a deadly crime stopper.
(14:27):
What a copper, Barney five. One day there come a
ride and two bad men to Robbie Bank. But Fife
was tricky. I did I did henther locked up in
the tank?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh my Barney. He had a jail and couldn't lock it.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Had one ball it for his pistol, had to keep
it in his pocket.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Imagine the first guy that rolled out the laugh track. Hey, John,
we got this great thing. Now when you hear it's
gonna blow your mind. I'm gonna add it to a
scene and I want you to watch. You put a
live audience in there. Nope, I got a button I
can push. Look at this cause the first time they
(15:17):
heard it, they didn't know what that was. They know
where it came from. Somebody came up with this idea
of a laugh track. And if you listen carefully, which
we used to do, if you recall, you would notice
that they had like five different ones. One of them
would roll from back to front. One of them would
have this one woman. She's giggling, just a little too loud.
They'd be all sorts of different laughs, so you wouldn't
(15:40):
think it was the same one, and they were just
hitting a button. And then I was reading a book
about this. I can't remember what the year was, somewhere
in the seventies where it just abruptly stopped and when
it stopped, it stopped. They never came back. So imagine
you're the guy that didn't get the memo and you go, hey, Tom,
(16:01):
go ahead and put a laugh track. I've marked in
red where I want you to put the laugh tracks.
She'll be about seventeen times in thirty minutes. Oh oh no, Sam,
are you serious? Laugh tracks are so last week? Nobody's
doing laugh tracks anymore. You talking about We've been doing
laugh tracks for twenty years. No, no, they'll laugh us out.
(16:22):
We can't do that. The reason we played Steve Austin
did girls have lunchboxes? You know what's funny. I've been
in a lot of conversations that as an adult male
that somehow come back to our lunch box. And I
have never heard a girl say, well, my lunch box
was Molly Mullweather or you know that, you never you
(16:46):
never hear did girls she's not eat because the boys lunchbox.
I had an Evil Knieval lunchbox. That was my deal
and probably the most popular lunchbox that gets mentioned today
and it comes up all the time is the Lee Majors. Uh,
there's one with Lee Majors and Paul McCartney. Is that right? Yeah,
(17:09):
it's real weird. It's it's an odd collaboration, and you
wonder what they were thinking. I'll find it here during
the break. But that brings us to our question the
earliest lunch box. You remember, it'll be a lightning round.
Be ready, know your information and you will answer the year,
(17:34):
your age at that time, the town where it happened,
and if it's Houston, you tell what elementary you went
to and the box we got that So for me
it would be nineteen seventy six, Loreena Oates Elementary, Orange,
Texas Evel. You know how the players they like to

Loretta Mud, his mother, who passed away last year, wrote
my name, address and telephone number on the inside of
the lid. Boy, if you were to do that today,
if I were to say, you know, maybe write the
identifying feature, because when we were kids, the big concern
(18:42):
was a kid would get lost, so you'd want to
put something with them that they'd get lost. If I
were actually just that story alone, there's some woman right
now going to her computer and write me anymore, Michael,
Have you put that they're gonna get They're gonna know
where you live, come get you by I literally get

We didn't have a fixed meal. You know, you either
brought your lunch or you bought your lunch.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
If you bought your lunch, what were the options.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
You picked? You know, you went down the roll and
you just pick what you wanted, man, I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Remember what it's called. We had two lines. They were
in separate entrances, and one was the set meal for
the day and you'd go in and it was whatever
they were irving and you got that. And the other
one was a concession. I can't remember what that one
was called, but it was a big deal and we
got two dollars for lunch, and you knew what you
(24:11):

got to eat with the cast and crew, and we
were well taken care of. Chad writes nineteen eighty one,
Lowry Elementary School, Houston, Dukes of Hazzard with the leaky
thermost that got your sandwich wet. Now that's a memory
right there. Doris writes Czar, I've been bringing the podcast.
I've been binging, sorry the podcast, and I heard your
(26:55):
story about the woman named Beth Dick, and I couldn't
resist sharing my topper. It was in the frequent flyer
program in Aero Mexico, and our computer capabilities were behind
the industry standard. We took transfers of mileage points from
American Express for purchase of tickets, but we didn't have
electronic capabilities. We had to have physical computer tapes, which
(27:15):
MX only shipped once a week. We had to make
the reservation and wait for the mileage transfer. Some people
don't have demanding enough jobs so they still play silly pranks.
So imagine my surprise when we actually got the mileage
transfer for Richard drips, Sincerely, Red Edwards Lawrence. Sybil Lawrence

There you go. Bobby writes, you ever look at Viva
Knievel from about seventy seven? Evil was an absolute star
horrible movie, so horrible it's great. And finally, Steven writes, Zar,
(28:03):
I listen to you every day. I'm applauding some of
your suggestions to life. At fifty six, I'm saying goodbye
to one career and jumping into another, starting afresh. A
few weeks ago, I enrolled. I enrolled in truck driving
school and got my CDLA license. Learning to parallel park
a semi is something else. I start my new job tomorrow,
(28:25):
but it's twelve weeks of training. I won't be able
to hear the show during this time. Oh there's the
podcast in the evening show, but it's not the same.
Good news. Once I finish my training, I'll be able
to listen to you from my rig ten to four,
over and out. Keep up the great work and the
best radio show on earth. Stephen, Well, that's a nice message,
and James writes, this is Wilson It's a picture of
(28:48):
a fellow and his dog on a bench out in
front of a motel. He's the good will ambassador here
at the Longhorn Ranch motel, just south of Study Butte
out in Big Bend. He knows no strangers, and he
works for snacks. If you ask him, he'll pray, he'll
kneel with his paws together. He has a pocket full
of high fives and handshakes. Such a good boy. When
(29:08):
we arrived, he ran up to me like an old friend.
If I sit on this bench, he leaps up beside
me and forces his head under my arm. Buddies for life,
or until some other sucker retreats happens along. How about that?
