Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced his run for Senate,
up one of the fiercest Inner Party campaign battles in
the years.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Certainly many things to focus on that he has not done,
and I think it's it's time that somebody held the macalifer.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
John Cornyan has betrayed Texas values for years. Every six
years he comes home and puts on his John Wayne

Speaker 6 (07:08):
So I knock off to in the moment tonight when
everybody was watching.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He prepared himself when nobody was watching. I had an
odd sense, especially after what happened last year, that this
was going to be a special team. And it was
a special team. The ball is too and there you
you're running for your life.
Speaker 10 (07:30):

E HS, the four Hour System from The Michael Verry
Show and other leading companies.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
The number of you have contacted me to tell me
that you have trouble finding this song and that it's
not in the usual places you buy your music. And
the answer is, I don't know why that is the case.
That has to come from Pat. So for whatever reason,
(08:52):
there may be a problem with the label that controls
that song. I don't know. I will ask him next week.
Visit it seems all because it's a good song, and
I'm sure other people want to buy it, and I
know a lot of people have tried to acquire it
because of our show, because I hear from you that
you're not able to The answer is, I don't. I
(09:14):
don't have a good answer as to why it's not available.
I'm not really sure what's going on with that, but
I will endeavor to persevere to find out for you.
Seven one three one thousand seven to one three nine
nine nine one thousand. Of course, you can always email
me during the show through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.
(09:35):
Greg you are first up, Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Hey Michael, So, I just want to call in. I
have been listening to you for about fifteen years and
we've been talking about agency, having an agency. You've always
talked about doing what you love. You'll never work a
day in your life. And I always took that to heart,
but I never really knew what to do. But a
year ago I ended up quitting my W two job
(10:03):
that I had for fifteen years, and I bought a
small business and I just wanted to, you know, kind
of let you know, that's something that a lot of
people don't think about when they don't they want to
be their own boss, they don't know what they want
to do. Necessarily. There's a lot really good, kind of dusty,
existing cash flowing businesses out there that people can buy
(10:23):
and then operate. And it's been it's been an awesome
year for me. And it's just been it's just been
great to kind of release myself from those shackles.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeap, what kind of business is great?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
I bought erosion control company here in Houston. It's called
Allied hydromult We do hydromulchiit, we do erosion control blanketing,
we'll do silt fencing construction industry, which I had no, no,
no experience then. What's So it's been a learning curve,
but it's been good. It's been fun.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So and how did you land on that? Did you
have a broker? Did you get a tip. How did
you find out that was for so.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
So?
Speaker 9 (11:02):
I literally found on a website called biz buy Sell.
It was broker lifted. I did not use a byside broker.
I was just a self searcher. Used an SBA loan
to buy it. I had a banking background, so that
was relatively easy to do. But yeah, there's a website
called bis buy sell. There's tons of businesses for sale
on there. And just started searching one day. Read a
(11:23):
couple of books on entrepreneurship to acquisition, which is kind
of the the buzzy term that's out there now. There's
a lot of private equity people trying to do it
and former private equity people, and they teach it in
NBA schools. But I had no I did. I knew
nothing about it, and I read a couple of books
and found it online and it's been it's been great.
I still have a good relationship with the with the seller.
(11:44):
He still helps me out. I've got good employees and
it's I mean, it's not all peaches and sunshine.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Go back for saying, Greg, you said you had a
banking background. Were you a bank officer at a which bank?
Speaker 9 (11:57):
I was a commercial banker. First I was Fross Bank,
and then I was an Amergy bank, and then I
took I took a sabbatical from banking, was in consulting,
and then I most recently was at Hancock Whitney here
in Houston.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So I have come to have come to the conclusion
for guys that end up kind of doing what you're
doing and becoming successful. I always ask people's background who
become successful in an independent business, and it is surprising
to me how often they started as in banking. Are
they started at one of the accounting firms or at
(12:32):
one of the financial firms.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
The old.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Uh not ELI? What was the firm Cooper's in librand
or Anderson Consulting or one of those. And I think
that the training and education you get if you have
an entrepreneurial spirit, which most people in those really don't,
but it gives you such a good basis to look
at a company and see whether that company can be
(12:57):
profitable or not. I think it's a great training. I mean,
going to law school was a great training ground for me.
I wouldn't want to practice law my whole life, but
it was a great training ground for me. So let
me ask you this. So you bought that business in
what year allowed hydromulch.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
I bought it. I bought it in May of twenty
twenty four, so almost a year ago.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And that guy wanted out, presumably.
Speaker 11 (13:22):
He did.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
He was in his late seventies, I'm sorry, early seventies,
he had. He founded the business in nineteen ninety. Him
and his wife ran it. It was a good, you know,
kind of like I said, sleepy lifestyle business for them.
You know, they didn't really have any bet on the company.
They just kind of had grown it to about a
million dollars a year in revenue and never really felt
like they needed to grow up more than that. And
they just were looking for an exit and it had
(13:45):
been for sale for a while and there was you know,
there's hair on it. There's hair on every deal, as
we like to say. And yeah, I just I was
the right fit at the right time, and we structured
it kind of uniquely with an SBA loan and some
seller note and and yeah, I've been off to the races,
kept all the employees thankfully, they've all phenomenal. My guys
have been And yeah, so it's been a year. It'll
(14:07):
be a year next month.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I noticed that one of the services you'll provide is
wildflower seeding, and then I'm looking at the walls. Yeah,
y'all do blue bonnets.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Oh, we do. I like to say with blue bonnets.
Everybody loves blue bonnets. The problem is is they're highly
expensive and they only bloom for three four weeks out
of the year. So there are a lot of other
really really good In fact, we're doing a job up
in Magnolia on Monday. We're going to plant some wild
flowers that'll bloom through the fall and then hopefully next
year get a really good stand. It's a little late
(14:39):
in the year to be doing wildflowers right now, but
we can certainly still do them.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
So so I've tried to plant wildflowers before, particularly blue bonnets,
and the whole scoring the seed and all that. I
think that's probably where I fell down. But I've had
people tell me how difficult getting wildflowers to take, particularly
blue bonnets to take, can be. Now once they do,
you're you're you're good to go. I was just curious
(15:03):
if what your experience was in your short time there.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
We do so a way to do it is we
do drill seeding and granted I'm not doing like little
tiny areas we're doing. I mean usually minimum of maker
it's ten.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
So we do a process called drill seeding where you
you tech took a tractor and you have a thing
called drill seeder that pulls behind the tractor and it
punches holes in the ground and it drops seeds into
the holes and then it kind of covers back up,
and it's really getting that good seed to soil contact.
A lot of people will just kind of throw throw
seeds out there and just hope for the best. It's
(15:42):
a good way to wash away or have birds. Yeah.
So anyways, that's how we do it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
What a great story, Greg, I'm so happy for you.
That's that's just fantastic. I'm guessing you're the one who
updated the website because it's like a new website ratio.
It's called Allied Hydro Molt dot com.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Records.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Now right, Sara, I've heard you say on your show before,
don't give your number to the Republican Party or some
variation of that statement, as you'll never have them stop
calling you. Could you speak to your audience give us
a tutorial on how to give to the candidate of
your choice, in this case Ken Paxton, without identifying yourself.
(16:25):
They want your phone occupation address. You cannot give online
without giving that info. Do you have a stealth method?
Sign one who is plagued with texts from when read?
Let me tell you. Those bastards, Republican consultants who are
(16:51):
trading your information, they sell it. They first acquire it,
then they sell it, then they sell it again, then
they may for another You are nothing but a data
point product to them. They don't care that they annoy you.
They are paid on. They are no different than a
Nigerian or Indian call center. They are awful. And my
(17:15):
answer to that is don't give period, end of story.
Don't give. Eventually they'll figure out. Oh, I guess the
net was a loss to us because they're counting on you.
No matter how angry you are continuing to give because well,
(17:35):
you love Donald Trump, don't yeh? You love Ted Cris
don't ye? You want to meet John Cornan don't ye Nope,
not a penny if you give mail it never. I
see people in the store in front of me and
it blows my mind. They're they're buying something from CBS
or the grocery store and the lady says you phone number, Na,
(17:58):
you're they're buying a jacket number. Why are you giving
And so when I say this, people go, well, everybody's
got it already. That's not true. Why don't you go
ahead and give you security number, your driver's license number,
your phone, just put it on a card and hand
it to everybody in the world because everybody has it already.
That's not true. And part of the reason they do
(18:21):
is because idiots don't have the strength of character to say,
you don't need my number. Oh, we have to put
it in. No, you don't, do you want to sell
this jacket or not?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Just put in zero zero zero zero, okay. But see,
they get a little commission for every one of those
they put in, just like the warranty at the electronics store,
all of those things that people are throwing in if
they can get your email address. Some of these companies
aren't profitable save for the fact that they are data
(18:54):
collection companies and you're giving it to them. Don't give
them your number. If you give them a number, give
him a fake number, or better yet, find a Democrat
you don't like and give them that number. Never give
these people your number. Ever, I do very nasty things
to people who add me, who give away my cel
(19:15):
phone number, very nasty things. There are elected officials in
this community who will tell you how awful I can be.
I've given out phone numbers on air and ask people
to insult them. In fact, my buddy jose Lovechik, he's
a lawyer in town, and he gave my number to
somebody I can't remember who it was years ago, and
(19:36):
it was not even ill meaning, but it made me
so mad. So I went on the air and gave
his number for about ten times, and I finally realized, Okay,
that's enough. Joe's not a bad guy, but I was
that hot about it. Yeah, don't give away your cell
phone number to campaigns. I'm just gonna tell you, don't
care how much you love that candidate. That candidate won't
even know this was done. Some weasel that works for
(19:57):
that candidate is going to bundle that up. These third
party companies come in consultants, they're going to sell that
to the next camp. They're going to hold onto it
for their own campaigns, but they're going to sell it
to the next campaign. Do not give them your information. Ever,
you're not helping to save the republic, you are inviting
problems upon yourself. Period. End of story. EJ. Go ahead,
(20:19):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I was just calling you the last gentleman you talked
to about owning his own business. I retired after twenty
four years or nearly twenty four year law enforcement. I
had a good opportunity. A friend of mine owned the
local gun shop. It was something I'd always wanted to do.
He actually asked me one day. He was ready to
(20:42):
be done. He was retired law enforcement as well. He's like, man,
why don't you buy my shop? And said, I don't know, man,
and let me talk to the wife about it. Which
my wife owns her own clinic in town in Angleton,
and so I kind of figured she would look at me.
I would go home and say, hey, trut, she wants
me to buy a show. She would look at me
silly and be like, yeah, all right. Well actually she
(21:04):
looked at me and said why not? And uh we
sat down that night and we figured out the why not.
And uh we've been rocking at it since August of
last year, this past August, and what is the shop?
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Hello?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Are you there?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, I'm here, what is the shop.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Echo five Arms in Brazoria.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Looking at up so I can judge your website.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Don't judge too hard. You probably want to look up
E five Arms, just the letter E five and then
spelled out arms. That is still a work in progress.
I am not an it guy. I'm just uh, I'm
just a dumb retired cop that had loves guns.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Uh so uh.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
My oldest son and my youngest son, they helped me
what the it stuff as much as they can, so.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I can't get to it. But let me let me
give you a little bit of advice that you didn't
ask for. About seventy five percent of the time, when
I talk to somebody like you who's just good at
the service of their business and loves what they do,
and I'm sure your customers love you, and I'll say,
what's your website and they'll give it to me and
it says it's under construction or it's just a holding
(22:30):
page landing page for that site, and they'll talk about
how you know, they just said, there's never going to
be a time where everybody in the business is going
to go all right, guys, everybody's agreed that nobody will
come in for ten days. We're all gonna sit down
and we're gonna hammer out what's gonna be on the website,
and we won't have anything else bothering us. No taxes, do,
(22:50):
no clients, no payroll, no banks, no meetings, no customers,
and we're gonna make a perfect website and then that
website will be there for the rest of forever. It
doesn't work that way good. It's like exercise. You're just
gonna have to force yourself to do it. But what
you do is you hire somebody cheap and you spend
You give them a budget three hundred bucks, five hundred bucks,
(23:10):
whatever that is, and you say, I need you to
put up you know, a couple of pictures that are
clear and clean, our phone number, our hours, our address,
all on one page, easy to find, and a click
button that they can send me an email. And that's
really all you need. People get caught up in wanting
these very dynamic pages with pop ups and all this
(23:31):
sort of stuff. You don't need all that for most people,
especially in your business. They just want a place to
go and see the phone number, the location, the hours
of operation, and maybe a photo. And that's what's kind
of a credibility builder, and beyond that, I wouldn't fool
with anything else. People use their Facebook page because it's
free and they can do that, But a lot of
(23:52):
people are not on Facebook and they can't invest a
few hundred bucks and get a basic one page landing
page and be done with it and don't fool with
it again.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Rhabic till I dropped and then I tell you I
recommend it, and you.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
No, you know what I like?
Speaker 10 (24:08):
It was when you go into these places, right, even
when they're getting your money, like that's not enough for them.
They want to suck like more information out of you.
When I bought toiletries the other day, they asked me
for like my phone number, bringing it up, Then we
have your phone number?
Speaker 11 (24:22):
No, well, theory, we're not can you do anything like
did really? You're just collecting numbers just for the fit,
you idiot. No, you can't have my phone number.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Then they get like all freaked out, right, Well, Sarah,
I have to put something in.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
If I don't, if I don't input something and I
can't get to the next what what do I do? Well,
lean on the keyboard, sweetheart, I don't know what to
tell you. Stick your finger on the one. There you go,
that's my phone number.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
What are you guys?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
A green Knight's live.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
An area code one two three, very exclusive neighborhood. Oh
so worst you got our little baby fife card?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
No, No, I don't.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Would you like one?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Now? I wouldn't?
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Well why not?
Speaker 11 (25:09):
Because you're up to something. I don't know what you're
up to, but I know you don't want to make
less money?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
All right?
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Something with me?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Just bring this up and let me get on with
my life, got right, Czar. In my life, I've seen
the following go overseas Texas Coastal County rice production to
Asia Texas, plastics and chemical production on the ship Channel
in the coast to South America. US steel in Baytown
to India, Alcoa aluminum in Point Comfort to maybe South America,
(25:37):
computer chips in Stafford to Taiwan, computers in Tomball to Japan.
Car production nationwide to Mexico and Europe. High voltage electrical
equipment and transformers from North Carolina to Japan. Hell, even
porn has moved to Canada and the yard work jobs
left behind are being filled by illegals. So tariff, baby, tariff,
(25:59):
you know it does feel like we've got adults in
charge at the White House now, doesn't it. It does
feel like we've got quality people in a leadership position
of our government that hadn't happened in a long time.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
All yeahs, Washington, DC has been a playground. The kids
were in charge, and the results broken toys, exploding budgets,
and someone flushed the constitution down the numersity on. But
something's changing. Suddenly there are adults in the room again.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Under new leadership.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
We've installed real secretaries at real agencies, not influencers, not activists,
not someone whose only experience was tweeting about oppression from
their parents' beach house. We're talking about a Secretary of
Energy who's seen a hour plant and those which way
electrons flow. A secretary of Transportation who can find Ohio
(27:06):
on a map. A secretary of Education who thinks reading
should come before drag show.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
The road is still.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Long, the swamp still smells, But for.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
The first time in a while, it feels like someone
brought a mop instead of a selfie stick. The new
Trump administration now hiring competence, no pronoun workshops, no safe spaces,
no bull because America runs better when it's run by
a dunce.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Sam.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Yes, sir,
you're up. Hey Michael, Yeah, hey man.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
For years and years and years, I've been listening to you,
even before you had your boys come home, and you know,
every time I call the ultimately I ended up talking
about my kids. Well, last Friday, Tyler he got his
AGI ring. Sorry man, trying to keep it together here
(28:16):
and tonight will be his ring dunk at the Kapasig
Fraternity Lodge.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And uh.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Man, I've called you from the freaking Dearlyes Hunting Hogs,
and I just you know, we were Charlotte and I
were founding members of the RCC where we's go out
there and dance and we go to your events and
whatnot and sign the Ted Cruz bus. And it just
seems like with Michael T. So like last weekend we
were headed up to a and m I was driving
(28:48):
otherwise I was going to call in and say, hey, dude,
Tyler's getting his ring today. At one point thirty and
I knew that you were going to see Michael T
for his fraternity dads weaken, and it just that's all
you think about dude. I mean, once you have these kids,
it's it consumes your whole life. And I'm so proud
(29:10):
of Tyler's his little sister. Like I said, Abby's going
to University of Arkansas, and godn't graduate with a science
degree or a biology degree and then come home and
go to UT and B and be a physician's assistant.
But coming from a rich heritage of you know, I
told you last time, my dad was an Aggie, both
(29:33):
my sisters are Aggie's and my sister in law was
an Aggie, it just means a lot, you know, I
went to you of h But anyway, Uh, it just
means much.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
If he's doing his ring, it's in the spring of
his junior year, right.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Well, he's actually slated. He's actually slated to graduate in December.
He's an engineering program. He's currently taking eighteen hours upper level,
upper level engineering. So we are waiting on the results
of one of his exams, and that's going to determine
whether or not he graduates in December or he hangs
(30:13):
out until May of next year. The part that sucks
about that, Michael, is you're at these universities and eighteen
hours upper level engineering and this is across the board,
and you've got a professor that can't speak proper English,
and it affects it affects everybody, of course. And so man,
(30:35):
my son Tyler, so just off because he may or
may not graduate with all his friends.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
So anyway, the point is, it's.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's a great story. I love it. But but you
have you've raised a point that is a real point,
and these universities no better. Listen, I don't care what
the what the what the deal is. You wouldn't put
somebody in any other country that is incapable of speaking
a language in such a manner that it could be
(31:09):
understood in a position of communication. I see this in
this country in all sorts of ways. When my wife
was a graduate student of economics, they were it was
a pretty heavy math requirement, and I had done very
well in calculus. So she was complaining about her calculus
class and that the Chinese, that the teacher who'd come
(31:29):
from China couldn't speak English. And I said, oh, you know.
I finally told her, did you just stop complaining? And
she said, you come to my class with me. It
was an evening class, seven o'clock at night. So I
said what the heck, I got nothing else going on.
It's seven o'clock in the evening. So I go with
her and she said, I want you to take notes,
and I went at the end of the class, I
(31:50):
want to compare notes. So I front row, I'm locked in.
I'm gonna show her. I'm a calculus stud Watch this.
I go sit down. This guy comes in. He never
makes eye contact with the students. He has his back
turned to us the whole time. So pomamm sho ho shop,
John carry Wan and a Montapai shum shum shump shop,
(32:14):
pap chop sp spter and I thought, okay, this was
a joke, right, this is a ken that was the class.
That was That was calculus. Calculus is hard if the
person speaks English. There are people who are allowed who
are doing this knowing this is this is not so different.
It's in the realm of grown men of saying yeah,
(32:36):
let's have a grown man come in in a bikini
for the six year olds. These are people who don't
care about their country, don't care about their fellow American.
It's their virtue signal. It's all sorts of other reasons,
and it's wrong. It is wrong. There are people all
around us that are allowing things like this to happen.
They don't happen by default.
It's that time time time, luck and load. So Michael
Varry Show is on the air. Oh yes, Jesus Friday,

If you could write one executive order with the power
of the president, Bunny Good, We're serious. What would it
be be thinking about that? Be thinking about that? But
to get us started as we always do, courtesy of
the greatest executive producer in all the land, CHATTACONI Knockannieshi,
(05:23):
you'll beat a movie scat uncovered smothered chunks, which.

Means I gather scattered on the griddle, keeped with brown onions,
cheese and chunks of hickory smoked ham.

I don't care that you like.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Worst used to potatoes out there. One of my friends said,
whether do potatoes, How can you be against it? Well,
I tell you, put them in a blender and make
potato juice out of it. Here, here's your potato sludge.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Eat.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
This is a potato smoothie. That's gross. Why'd you give
me that? Well, it's potatoes. The point is you got
ten things you can do with potatoes. Why would you
ever get on your check down book?
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced his run for Senate,
up one of the fiercest Inner Party campaign battles in
the years.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Certainly many things to focus on that he has not done,
and I think it's it's time that somebody held the macalifer.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
John Cornyan has betrayed Texas values for years. Every six
years he comes home and puts on his John Wayne
mccornan act, hills about how he's got to go back
to Washington fight for us. Half of our audience right now,
Oh cool, Finally you're playing something for people under the
(06:31):
age of eighty. The other halfs Parnov all that game
music and suck talking about get back to talking about Trump.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Clearly the madness is already in full swing. Houston Cougar's
number one scene for the third straight.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Season, playing for a spot in the ELITEA jus in
gets it in, gets it back. We would call Klutt City.
They are the new Klutch City in Houston.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
To live to the US to Juggers, a furious coup back.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
So I knock off to in the moment tonight when
everybody was watching.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He prepared himself when nobody was watching. I had an
odd sense, especially after what happened last year, that this
was going to be a special team. And it was
a special team. The ball is too and there you
you're running for your life.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
You're a shooting in STI.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And all they.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
No one this a hold you work.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
But now it's shoe.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
In odd shining moon.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's all on the lines in a shining moment before.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
In time.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
The time is.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
In, the room is long in the of a.
Speaker 11 (08:07):
That poem is done.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And when it's done, when its inside.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
E HS, the four Hour System from The Michael Verry
Show and other leading companies.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
The number of you have contacted me to tell me
that you have trouble finding this song and that it's
not in the usual places you buy your music. And
the answer is, I don't know why that is the case.
That has to come from Pat. So for whatever reason,
(08:52):
there may be a problem with the label that controls
that song. I don't know. I will ask him next week.
Visit it seems all because it's a good song, and
I'm sure other people want to buy it, and I
know a lot of people have tried to acquire it
because of our show, because I hear from you that
you're not able to The answer is, I don't. I
(09:14):
don't have a good answer as to why it's not available.
I'm not really sure what's going on with that, but
I will endeavor to persevere to find out for you.
Seven one three one thousand seven to one three nine
nine nine one thousand. Of course, you can always email
me during the show through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.
(09:35):
Greg you are first up, Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Hey Michael, So, I just want to call in. I
have been listening to you for about fifteen years and
we've been talking about agency, having an agency. You've always
talked about doing what you love. You'll never work a
day in your life. And I always took that to heart,
but I never really knew what to do. But a
year ago I ended up quitting my W two job
(10:03):
that I had for fifteen years, and I bought a
small business and I just wanted to, you know, kind
of let you know, that's something that a lot of
people don't think about when they don't they want to
be their own boss, they don't know what they want
to do. Necessarily. There's a lot really good, kind of dusty,
existing cash flowing businesses out there that people can buy
(10:23):
and then operate. And it's been it's been an awesome
year for me. And it's just been it's just been
great to kind of release myself from those shackles.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeap, what kind of business is great?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
I bought erosion control company here in Houston. It's called
Allied hydromult We do hydromulchiit, we do erosion control blanketing,
we'll do silt fencing construction industry, which I had no, no,
no experience then. What's So it's been a learning curve,
but it's been good. It's been fun.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So and how did you land on that? Did you
have a broker? Did you get a tip. How did
you find out that was for so.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
So?
Speaker 9 (11:02):
I literally found on a website called biz buy Sell.
It was broker lifted. I did not use a byside broker.
I was just a self searcher. Used an SBA loan
to buy it. I had a banking background, so that
was relatively easy to do. But yeah, there's a website
called bis buy sell. There's tons of businesses for sale
on there. And just started searching one day. Read a
(11:23):
couple of books on entrepreneurship to acquisition, which is kind
of the the buzzy term that's out there now. There's
a lot of private equity people trying to do it
and former private equity people, and they teach it in
NBA schools. But I had no I did. I knew
nothing about it, and I read a couple of books
and found it online and it's been it's been great.
I still have a good relationship with the with the seller.
(11:44):
He still helps me out. I've got good employees and
it's I mean, it's not all peaches and sunshine.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Go back for saying, Greg, you said you had a
banking background. Were you a bank officer at a which bank?
Speaker 9 (11:57):
I was a commercial banker. First I was Fross Bank,
and then I was an Amergy bank, and then I
took I took a sabbatical from banking, was in consulting,
and then I most recently was at Hancock Whitney here
in Houston.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So I have come to have come to the conclusion
for guys that end up kind of doing what you're
doing and becoming successful. I always ask people's background who
become successful in an independent business, and it is surprising
to me how often they started as in banking. Are
they started at one of the accounting firms or at
(12:32):
one of the financial firms.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
The old.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Uh not ELI? What was the firm Cooper's in librand
or Anderson Consulting or one of those. And I think
that the training and education you get if you have
an entrepreneurial spirit, which most people in those really don't,
but it gives you such a good basis to look
at a company and see whether that company can be
(12:57):
profitable or not. I think it's a great training. I mean,
going to law school was a great training ground for me.
I wouldn't want to practice law my whole life, but
it was a great training ground for me. So let
me ask you this. So you bought that business in
what year allowed hydromulch.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
I bought it. I bought it in May of twenty
twenty four, so almost a year ago.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And that guy wanted out, presumably.
Speaker 11 (13:22):
He did.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
He was in his late seventies, I'm sorry, early seventies,
he had. He founded the business in nineteen ninety. Him
and his wife ran it. It was a good, you know,
kind of like I said, sleepy lifestyle business for them.
You know, they didn't really have any bet on the company.
They just kind of had grown it to about a
million dollars a year in revenue and never really felt
like they needed to grow up more than that. And
they just were looking for an exit and it had
(13:45):
been for sale for a while and there was you know,
there's hair on it. There's hair on every deal, as
we like to say. And yeah, I just I was
the right fit at the right time, and we structured
it kind of uniquely with an SBA loan and some
seller note and and yeah, I've been off to the races,
kept all the employees thankfully, they've all phenomenal. My guys
have been And yeah, so it's been a year. It'll
(14:07):
be a year next month.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I noticed that one of the services you'll provide is
wildflower seeding, and then I'm looking at the walls. Yeah,
y'all do blue bonnets.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Oh, we do. I like to say with blue bonnets.
Everybody loves blue bonnets. The problem is is they're highly
expensive and they only bloom for three four weeks out
of the year. So there are a lot of other
really really good In fact, we're doing a job up
in Magnolia on Monday. We're going to plant some wild
flowers that'll bloom through the fall and then hopefully next
year get a really good stand. It's a little late
(14:39):
in the year to be doing wildflowers right now, but
we can certainly still do them.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
So so I've tried to plant wildflowers before, particularly blue bonnets,
and the whole scoring the seed and all that. I
think that's probably where I fell down. But I've had
people tell me how difficult getting wildflowers to take, particularly
blue bonnets to take, can be. Now once they do,
you're you're you're good to go. I was just curious
(15:03):
if what your experience was in your short time there.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
We do so a way to do it is we
do drill seeding and granted I'm not doing like little
tiny areas we're doing. I mean usually minimum of maker
it's ten.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
So we do a process called drill seeding where you
you tech took a tractor and you have a thing
called drill seeder that pulls behind the tractor and it
punches holes in the ground and it drops seeds into
the holes and then it kind of covers back up,
and it's really getting that good seed to soil contact.
A lot of people will just kind of throw throw
seeds out there and just hope for the best. It's
(15:42):
a good way to wash away or have birds. Yeah.
So anyways, that's how we do it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
What a great story, Greg, I'm so happy for you.
That's that's just fantastic. I'm guessing you're the one who
updated the website because it's like a new website ratio.
It's called Allied Hydro Molt dot com.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Records.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Now right, Sara, I've heard you say on your show before,
don't give your number to the Republican Party or some
variation of that statement, as you'll never have them stop
calling you. Could you speak to your audience give us
a tutorial on how to give to the candidate of
your choice, in this case Ken Paxton, without identifying yourself.
(16:25):
They want your phone occupation address. You cannot give online
without giving that info. Do you have a stealth method?
Sign one who is plagued with texts from when read?
Let me tell you. Those bastards, Republican consultants who are
(16:51):
trading your information, they sell it. They first acquire it,
then they sell it, then they sell it again, then
they may for another You are nothing but a data
point product to them. They don't care that they annoy you.
They are paid on. They are no different than a
Nigerian or Indian call center. They are awful. And my
(17:15):
answer to that is don't give period, end of story.
Don't give. Eventually they'll figure out. Oh, I guess the
net was a loss to us because they're counting on you.
No matter how angry you are continuing to give because well,
(17:35):
you love Donald Trump, don't yeh? You love Ted Cris
don't ye? You want to meet John Cornan don't ye Nope,
not a penny if you give mail it never. I
see people in the store in front of me and
it blows my mind. They're they're buying something from CBS
or the grocery store and the lady says you phone number, Na,
(17:58):
you're they're buying a jacket number. Why are you giving
And so when I say this, people go, well, everybody's
got it already. That's not true. Why don't you go
ahead and give you security number, your driver's license number,
your phone, just put it on a card and hand
it to everybody in the world because everybody has it already.
That's not true. And part of the reason they do
(18:21):
is because idiots don't have the strength of character to say,
you don't need my number. Oh, we have to put
it in. No, you don't, do you want to sell
this jacket or not?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Just put in zero zero zero zero, okay. But see,
they get a little commission for every one of those
they put in, just like the warranty at the electronics store,
all of those things that people are throwing in if
they can get your email address. Some of these companies
aren't profitable save for the fact that they are data
(18:54):
collection companies and you're giving it to them. Don't give
them your number. If you give them a number, give
him a fake number, or better yet, find a Democrat
you don't like and give them that number. Never give
these people your number. Ever, I do very nasty things
to people who add me, who give away my cel
(19:15):
phone number, very nasty things. There are elected officials in
this community who will tell you how awful I can be.
I've given out phone numbers on air and ask people
to insult them. In fact, my buddy jose Lovechik, he's
a lawyer in town, and he gave my number to
somebody I can't remember who it was years ago, and
(19:36):
it was not even ill meaning, but it made me
so mad. So I went on the air and gave
his number for about ten times, and I finally realized, Okay,
that's enough. Joe's not a bad guy, but I was
that hot about it. Yeah, don't give away your cell
phone number to campaigns. I'm just gonna tell you, don't
care how much you love that candidate. That candidate won't
even know this was done. Some weasel that works for
(19:57):
that candidate is going to bundle that up. These third
party companies come in consultants, they're going to sell that
to the next camp. They're going to hold onto it
for their own campaigns, but they're going to sell it
to the next campaign. Do not give them your information. Ever,
you're not helping to save the republic, you are inviting
problems upon yourself. Period. End of story. EJ. Go ahead,
(20:19):
Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I was just calling you the last gentleman you talked
to about owning his own business. I retired after twenty
four years or nearly twenty four year law enforcement. I
had a good opportunity. A friend of mine owned the
local gun shop. It was something I'd always wanted to do.
He actually asked me one day. He was ready to
(20:42):
be done. He was retired law enforcement as well. He's like, man,
why don't you buy my shop? And said, I don't know, man,
and let me talk to the wife about it. Which
my wife owns her own clinic in town in Angleton,
and so I kind of figured she would look at me.
I would go home and say, hey, trut, she wants
me to buy a show. She would look at me
silly and be like, yeah, all right. Well actually she
(21:04):
looked at me and said why not? And uh we
sat down that night and we figured out the why not.
And uh we've been rocking at it since August of
last year, this past August, and what is the shop?
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Hello?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Are you there?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, I'm here, what is the shop.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Echo five Arms in Brazoria.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Looking at up so I can judge your website.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Don't judge too hard. You probably want to look up
E five Arms, just the letter E five and then
spelled out arms. That is still a work in progress.
I am not an it guy. I'm just uh, I'm
just a dumb retired cop that had loves guns.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Uh so uh.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
My oldest son and my youngest son, they helped me
what the it stuff as much as they can, so.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I can't get to it. But let me let me
give you a little bit of advice that you didn't
ask for. About seventy five percent of the time, when
I talk to somebody like you who's just good at
the service of their business and loves what they do,
and I'm sure your customers love you, and I'll say,
what's your website and they'll give it to me and
it says it's under construction or it's just a holding
(22:30):
page landing page for that site, and they'll talk about
how you know, they just said, there's never going to
be a time where everybody in the business is going
to go all right, guys, everybody's agreed that nobody will
come in for ten days. We're all gonna sit down
and we're gonna hammer out what's gonna be on the website,
and we won't have anything else bothering us. No taxes, do,
(22:50):
no clients, no payroll, no banks, no meetings, no customers,
and we're gonna make a perfect website and then that
website will be there for the rest of forever. It
doesn't work that way good. It's like exercise. You're just
gonna have to force yourself to do it. But what
you do is you hire somebody cheap and you spend
You give them a budget three hundred bucks, five hundred bucks,
(23:10):
whatever that is, and you say, I need you to
put up you know, a couple of pictures that are
clear and clean, our phone number, our hours, our address,
all on one page, easy to find, and a click
button that they can send me an email. And that's
really all you need. People get caught up in wanting
these very dynamic pages with pop ups and all this
(23:31):
sort of stuff. You don't need all that for most people,
especially in your business. They just want a place to
go and see the phone number, the location, the hours
of operation, and maybe a photo. And that's what's kind
of a credibility builder, and beyond that, I wouldn't fool
with anything else. People use their Facebook page because it's
free and they can do that, But a lot of
(23:52):
people are not on Facebook and they can't invest a
few hundred bucks and get a basic one page landing
page and be done with it and don't fool with
it again.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Rhabic till I dropped and then I tell you I
recommend it, and you.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
No, you know what I like?
Speaker 10 (24:08):
It was when you go into these places, right, even
when they're getting your money, like that's not enough for them.
They want to suck like more information out of you.
When I bought toiletries the other day, they asked me
for like my phone number, bringing it up, Then we
have your phone number?
Speaker 11 (24:22):
No, well, theory, we're not can you do anything like
did really? You're just collecting numbers just for the fit,
you idiot. No, you can't have my phone number.
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Then they get like all freaked out, right, Well, Sarah,
I have to put something in.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
If I don't, if I don't input something and I
can't get to the next what what do I do? Well,
lean on the keyboard, sweetheart, I don't know what to
tell you. Stick your finger on the one. There you go,
that's my phone number.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
What are you guys?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
A green Knight's live.
Speaker 11 (24:53):
An area code one two three, very exclusive neighborhood. Oh
so worst you got our little baby fife card?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
No, No, I don't.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Would you like one?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Now? I wouldn't?
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Well why not?
Speaker 11 (25:09):
Because you're up to something. I don't know what you're
up to, but I know you don't want to make
less money?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
All right?
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Something with me?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Just bring this up and let me get on with
my life, got right, Czar. In my life, I've seen
the following go overseas Texas Coastal County rice production to
Asia Texas, plastics and chemical production on the ship Channel
in the coast to South America. US steel in Baytown
to India, Alcoa aluminum in Point Comfort to maybe South America,
(25:37):
computer chips in Stafford to Taiwan, computers in Tomball to Japan.
Car production nationwide to Mexico and Europe. High voltage electrical
equipment and transformers from North Carolina to Japan. Hell, even
porn has moved to Canada and the yard work jobs
left behind are being filled by illegals. So tariff, baby, tariff,
(25:59):
you know it does feel like we've got adults in
charge at the White House now, doesn't it. It does
feel like we've got quality people in a leadership position
of our government that hadn't happened in a long time.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
All yeahs, Washington, DC has been a playground. The kids
were in charge, and the results broken toys, exploding budgets,
and someone flushed the constitution down the numersity on. But
something's changing. Suddenly there are adults in the room again.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Under new leadership.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
We've installed real secretaries at real agencies, not influencers, not activists,
not someone whose only experience was tweeting about oppression from
their parents' beach house. We're talking about a Secretary of
Energy who's seen a hour plant and those which way
electrons flow. A secretary of Transportation who can find Ohio
(27:06):
on a map. A secretary of Education who thinks reading
should come before drag show.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
The road is still.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Long, the swamp still smells, But for.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
The first time in a while, it feels like someone
brought a mop instead of a selfie stick. The new
Trump administration now hiring competence, no pronoun workshops, no safe spaces,
no bull because America runs better when it's run by
a dunce.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Sam.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Yes, sir,
you're up. Hey Michael, Yeah, hey man.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
For years and years and years, I've been listening to you,
even before you had your boys come home, and you know,
every time I call the ultimately I ended up talking
about my kids. Well, last Friday, Tyler he got his
AGI ring. Sorry man, trying to keep it together here
(28:16):
and tonight will be his ring dunk at the Kapasig
Fraternity Lodge.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And uh.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Man, I've called you from the freaking Dearlyes Hunting Hogs,
and I just you know, we were Charlotte and I
were founding members of the RCC where we's go out
there and dance and we go to your events and
whatnot and sign the Ted Cruz bus. And it just
seems like with Michael T. So like last weekend we
were headed up to a and m I was driving
(28:48):
otherwise I was going to call in and say, hey, dude,
Tyler's getting his ring today. At one point thirty and
I knew that you were going to see Michael T
for his fraternity dads weaken, and it just that's all
you think about dude. I mean, once you have these kids,
it's it consumes your whole life. And I'm so proud
(29:10):
of Tyler's his little sister. Like I said, Abby's going
to University of Arkansas, and godn't graduate with a science
degree or a biology degree and then come home and
go to UT and B and be a physician's assistant.
But coming from a rich heritage of you know, I
told you last time, my dad was an Aggie, both
(29:33):
my sisters are Aggie's and my sister in law was
an Aggie, it just means a lot, you know, I
went to you of h But anyway, Uh, it just
means much.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
If he's doing his ring, it's in the spring of
his junior year, right.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Well, he's actually slated. He's actually slated to graduate in December.
He's an engineering program. He's currently taking eighteen hours upper level,
upper level engineering. So we are waiting on the results
of one of his exams, and that's going to determine
whether or not he graduates in December or he hangs
(30:13):
out until May of next year. The part that sucks
about that, Michael, is you're at these universities and eighteen
hours upper level engineering and this is across the board,
and you've got a professor that can't speak proper English,
and it affects it affects everybody, of course. And so man,
(30:35):
my son Tyler, so just off because he may or
may not graduate with all his friends.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
So anyway, the point is, it's.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's a great story. I love it. But but you
have you've raised a point that is a real point,
and these universities no better. Listen, I don't care what
the what the what the deal is. You wouldn't put
somebody in any other country that is incapable of speaking
a language in such a manner that it could be
(31:09):
understood in a position of communication. I see this in
this country in all sorts of ways. When my wife
was a graduate student of economics, they were it was
a pretty heavy math requirement, and I had done very
well in calculus. So she was complaining about her calculus
class and that the Chinese, that the teacher who'd come
(31:29):
from China couldn't speak English. And I said, oh, you know.
I finally told her, did you just stop complaining? And
she said, you come to my class with me. It
was an evening class, seven o'clock at night. So I
said what the heck, I got nothing else going on.
It's seven o'clock in the evening. So I go with
her and she said, I want you to take notes,
and I went at the end of the class, I
(31:50):
want to compare notes. So I front row, I'm locked in.
I'm gonna show her. I'm a calculus stud Watch this.
I go sit down. This guy comes in. He never
makes eye contact with the students. He has his back
turned to us the whole time. So pomamm sho ho shop,
John carry Wan and a Montapai shum shum shump shop,
(32:14):
pap chop sp spter and I thought, okay, this was
a joke, right, this is a ken that was the class.
That was That was calculus. Calculus is hard if the
person speaks English. There are people who are allowed who
are doing this knowing this is this is not so different.
It's in the realm of grown men of saying yeah,
(32:36):
let's have a grown man come in in a bikini
for the six year olds. These are people who don't
care about their country, don't care about their fellow American.
It's their virtue signal. It's all sorts of other reasons,
and it's wrong. It is wrong. There are people all
around us that are allowing things like this to happen.
They don't happen by default.
