It's that time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
why don't you go where fashion sits? Right now?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The reds.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Different times to where Reddy Coke pats where the stripe
sun covid await Coke ber.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It was on this day in nineteen eighty three I
would have been in seventh grade US when Taco's cover
of the song Putting on the Ritz would each number
nine on the Hot one hundred. That song has a
historical designation that will likely never be topped. It's up
(01:10):
there with cal Ripken Junior's over twenty six hundred starts,
or the Yankee clippers fifty six game hitting streak, or
Nolan Ryan's almost six thousand strikeouts. And that record is
that Taco sang the song Putting on the Ritz that
was written in May of twenty seven, released in December
(01:36):
of twenty nine, making Irving Berlin in nineteen eighty three,
ninety five years old and still alive, giving him the
distinction of being the oldest living songwriter ever to land
a top ten hit on the Hot one hundred with
(01:58):
Putting on the Ritz. Most commonly associated with fred Astaire
Aimondi of that version, have.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You seen the wealth ado upon Lenox Avenue on that
famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air? I hats
and collar collars, white spats and fifteen dollars spanning every time.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
The slang expression to put on the rits was to
dress fashionably, was inspired by the Tony hotel The Ritz
in London, so put on to put on the Ritz
was to dress up, to dress fancy. But the song
makes joke of those who dress up and act like
(02:55):
dandies but they can't afford the lifestyle. It was the
first song in film to be sung by an interracial ensemble.
But our favorite version, if we're being honest, Ramona and
I both agree, is uh Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle
in Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
why don't you go? Wear fashion? Sits different types of
wear A day coat, pants with stripes or cad a
weightcoat perfect fits dressed up like a million dollar trooper
(03:42):
trying mighty hard to look like Gary Cooper.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I guess you got to know what's going on to
get how funny that that audio is. I've always thought
there's a certain parallel to the the construct of that
movie and My Fair Lady. In both cases you have
the person sort of trying to convert this lesser being
(04:11):
into something that can be put out on the stage,
and you're all rooting for that, and the interplay between
the two makes it it quite interesting to think that
Gene Wilder was recording shooting for Blazing Saddles by morning
(04:34):
and afternoon, going home and then writing Young Frankenstein and
mel Brooks did not want to be apart until the
very end, which makes it almost exclusively Wilder's production. He's
writing a whole separate as opposed to Blazing Saddle that
he's doing, Satle that he's doing by day. It's just incredible.
(04:55):
It's amazing the ability to compartmentalize and the creat native
font of genius emanating from that man. I received an
email from a follow up named Braylan Bailey. You can
email me through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. While
you're there, you can buy our merch which supports a
(05:16):
good charity, which is our team. Everybody but me. I
don't make anything of that, but the team does. And
you can sign up for our Daily Blast, which Darryl
Kunda writes every day it gets better and better. It's
growing faster than ever now that we have somebody that
can focus on that and not just be pulled every
different direction you can. I don't know what else you
(05:38):
can do. You can do all sorts of stuff there,
but you can send me an email through the website
Michael Berryshow dot com, which is what Braylan Bailey did,
and he said, zar, I want to brag on one
of my sons, my third oldest son. Braylan Bailey, twenty
years old, finished welding school at San Jack Pasadena this
past May. He just got home from a two week
(06:00):
welding job in Brunie, Texas, South Texas. That Brunie or
BRUNEI you know, I'm gonna say Bruney two weeks down there.
During two weeks down there, he made just over four
thousand dollars. He's twenty years old. He leaves in a
week for North Dakota on another welding job, then another
welding job in California after that. His goal is to
(06:21):
be able to buy his first automobile, a truck, before
the end of October. Twenty twenty five. Our son is
another testament to the value of skilled labor in our
ever changing American society. My wife and I are so
proud of him. Have a blast weekend, David Bailey. I
asked David if he would come on the show, or
(06:44):
Braylan if he would come on the show to tell
his story, because I think there's a lot of hope
out there for kids that don't run. What am I
going to do?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You don't need to go to the mall and fold
close because you don't know what else to do, hey,
because there's no clothes to fold and there's no mall anymore.
But I thought, now, this is a great story. This
is what people need to know about Braylan. You' sir,
Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Sir, How you doing? Thank you for having me?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Is just your first time on a nationally syndicated radio
program to talk about your welding career. Did you ever
imagine this moment and prepare a speech or some opening
remarks or who you'd like to think?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Well, first, I'd like to thank my family, but mostly
my dad forgetting me this opportunity, because he listens to
see you the most, and he puts me on and
I listen to you more and more as I've been
been with him.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So, you know, when I was a kid about ten
twelve years old, my next door neighbor Keith mccomick, and
he was an adults like my big brother, and he
would drive us and we'd drive to the Orangeville gym
and they'd let us in the gym and we'd go
in and we'd shoot free throws and dribble passing drills
in Austin. At the end, I would I would come
(08:03):
up to the link of the court and I would narrate,
you know, and Barry comes up the court and he
takes the shot. They'd have three pointers at that point.
He takes the shot, and when's it for the Did
you ever do that like where you planned where you
were in the middle of an interview and how that
would work out or just kind of on the fly.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
That's right, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Brayleen Bailey is her guest coming up. Hello everybody, This
is Nicky Gilly and you're listening to this season radio Michael.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Barry Rackin't a yellow did a white boy looking board
place to Dude?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Got a message from David Bailey, who's a frequent emailer,
and he said, I want to brag on one of
my sons and most of you know, if you ever
want to brag on your business, your employee, your children,
I will listen till the cows come home. I'm happy
(08:58):
for you to do that. I'm delighted that you do.
I just want to make sure that when you bragged
to me, you also bragged to them, so they know
how proud you are of them. So he's bragging on
his boy. His third oldest, Braylan twenty, finished welding school
at San Jack and Pasadena this past May. And darn
if he's not traveling all over America on welding jobs.
And I said, well, can he come on the show
(09:19):
and tell us about it? Braylan? What made you want
to do? Where'd you go to high school?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I went to Deer Park High School over here in
Deer Park.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's where Andy Pettitt went. It's there are y all friends?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I know?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
If you play ball?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So I played football? Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What position?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I was? Tight end?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Were you any good?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I was decent?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Were you like a Rock Bowers tight end? Or Antonio
Gates or more Ozzie Newsome Kellen Winslow. Where would you
put yourself?
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Probably Kevin Winslow.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Okay, what made you want to do welding?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Welding?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Probably my junior in high school. I got into the
class ag mechantic class over there and Deer Park, and.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I had no idea how.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
To weld or anything, and I my teachers just helped us,
probably just how to pick one up and put a
rotten And from there I kind of going on. In
my senior year, I made a I'm doing an agmech
project show over here at the further Pasadena Rodeo. And
I made my first project my senior year. I made
(10:42):
a table, little coffee table, and I got to show
that and sell that. Didn't place, didn't play a big third,
second or first, but it was my first show and
I kind of fell in love with the making stuff
and kind of kicked off from there. After I graduated,
went to send Jack and took my first classes all
(11:04):
the way from intro to advance.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Did it all? So?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Did you find that you did better in these classes
than you did other classes in high school that didn't
exactly hold your interest?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
A lot better, is sir?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
It's more a lot of hands on that's what I wanted.
That's what I was looking for in high school. It
was more hands on and I knew agg mechanics. Out
there at the agbarn there's a lot of hands on stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So do you still have that table that you submitted
as your entry?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I do not.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I'm pretty sure my dad. My dad may have a table.
He wanted me to go show it. But yeah, it
was a pretty cool table. It was about foot high
off the ground of the coffee table. Well, he's pretty
the bottom frame of it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
He's pretty proud of his boy based on the email
I got on you, so he may have kept it.
Because I keep everything in my kids. It's cringe worthy.
I have boys that are almost your age, eighteen and nineteen. Team.
How long is welding school at San Jack?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
It can go for as long as you want.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
But I went for the combo weld Indigree, which is
sticking tig and that was about a two year program.
And you do from all the way your intro stick
class to your intro take class and then you get
all the way to your.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Vans and so so the I know the terminology. I
can't weld. I've never welded in my life. I admire
you that you can. But I know you mentioned the
stick and the tig and the different kinds of welding.
Do you have a type of welding that you're better
at or you want to focus on, or that you're
more now more experienced at.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
My advand focus right now is to get more into stainless,
which is tag welding.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I think that's a very unique process.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Now, when you finished welding school this past what this
past May, how did you go about getting the job
that you now have?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
So San Jack is the professors there are really well
connected with other companies and San Jack is very connected
with other businesses too, and they have job fairs and stuff.
And going to the job fair, I met with a
wealth and recruiter guy and he kind of he helped
(13:28):
me get my foot in the door with this.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Job I'm learn right now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And who is that?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
His name is Mike Miller.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Oh, I'm sorry. Who is the company you're with?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Oh? Company part of me. It's called CEM SAM.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And what are they are they contractors that are brought
in to do to do projects. That's what you're.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Doing, Yes, sir, So Sam got me and some other
guys to go out there to another job for another company,
Like they kind of recruited us out there and other
kids that got the opportunity to go out there see
how they like it, get experience in the field. And
(14:17):
it really was not much welding. It was more cutting
getting getting here in their experience and getting trained on
actual field stuff. And that's what I was looking for.
And he helped me with that, and I fell in
love with it, and now I'm off to go do
another job with them.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Do you have a mentor at work for when you're not,
you know, not sure how to do a project or
you just figure it out as you go along.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
My boss, my my foreman, she's awesome. She helps me
and a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'm not trying to be rude, but I honestly didn't
know until ten seconds ago that girls could weld.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Really.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Yeah, my high school team my junior year when I
first started, she was a woman, and she taught me
how to world.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Really. I think that's cool. Really, Yes, no, I'm not
being funny. I really didn't know. I'd never heard of
such a thing. I think that's fantastic. And your dad
was bragging that you're doing well and your goal is
by October to buy yourself a truck.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
That's correct, Yes, sir, hopefully sooner.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I got a message from one of my show sponsors
during the break because I read your dad's email and
the pride dripping out of his voice in this message
made me very happy as a father myself. And I
got a message from Mike Bachis, who's the GM of
Lone Star Chevy, and he said, tell that boy he
needs a Silverado and that I will take care of him.
(15:51):
I will give him the best deal. I'll make sure
he gets exactly what he wants. Send him up here.
And I said, well, I haven't even spoken to him yet,
but we'll get it figured out. They're already lining up
to sell you your first truck. I think this is fantastic, Bylan.
I'm so proud of you, I really am. I'm so
proud of you. Got your head on straight. You're gonna
(16:12):
look back at this point in your life, and you
made such good decisions. Good on you, buddy boy. Two
most distinctive dances for a white man over seventy who
only has one dance move Mick Jagger, Donald Trump. The
(16:34):
Department of Homeland Security is painting the steel border wall black.
Secretary Christy Noam says it was at the behest of
President Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Because he said, you know who Ari Schaeffer is.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Do you remember did you ever see the video of
when he pulled up to home depot. They all jump
in the back and he drives up to ice and
he honks the horn, and the President Trump told Christy
know him he wants the border wall painted black because
when the South Texas heat hits it, South Texas son
(17:30):
hits it, it'll be hotter to the touch and harder
to climb. Story from National Desk.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Secretary Christine Ome walked along the border fence here in
something Essa and talked about the fact that illegal border
crossings are at a record low.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But way and where.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Secretary Christine Ome walked along the border fence here in
Somethingessa and Tom.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
The way you tell me about Santa Teresa in sometha thatesa.
There were that Saturday Night Live episode that's my favorite one.
They have they hire they uh, they they hire the
new guy in the office and he's Hispanic, so they
they all of a sudden accentuate everything. What should we
have for lunch, guys? Maybe an the whole thing they're
(18:23):
doing just that phrase that was a little much, I thought,
right there in the middle. I don't know if he
needed to do that.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Secretary Christinome walked along the border fence here in Santa
Ddessa and talked about the fact that illegal border crossings
are at a record low. But the big announcement today
was something that caught a lot of us by surprise.
What she said is that the entire length of the
border wall will be painted black. And she said that
(18:50):
is more than something that is done for cosmetic reasons,
although certainly painting those ballers, those steel ballers, will protect
them from rust. But what she was talking about was
a directive from President Trump, who said that he told
her that he wanted the border wall painted black because
the color black will make the steel hotter, which will
(19:10):
make it harder for illegal border crossers.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
If you look at the structure that's behind me, it's tall,
which makes it very very difficult to climb, almost impossible.
It also goes deep into the ground, which would make
it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig under. And
today we are also going to be painting it black.
That is specifically at the request of the President, who
understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something
(19:36):
is painted black, it gets even warmer and it will
make it even harder for people to climb. So we
are going to be painting the entire southern border wall
black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not
come into our country illegally.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Also asked Secretary Nomes specifically about whether or not critics
of the Trump administration would think that painting it black
to make the wall hotter was it's cruel. This is
what she had to.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Say, don't touch it.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
They have a choice.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Some that I.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Like that he made reference to the ballards. Ballard is
one of my favorite words. It comes from a Dutch
word called bowl the o l e, and it is
a botanical term meaning a tree trunk, So the ballard
is intended to be similar to the tree trunk. Ballard
(20:33):
is one of my favorite words. And I don't know
why I like it. And I only know of one
song that ever made mention of a ballard, and Frankly
gave the ballard it's it's it's due, you know what
it was?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Those ballards road got spread the highway making money.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
The fly away.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Away.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
I don't want to upwe those blades on the power

Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm gonna let beak. You Gotta give Trump credit. Man,
he's serious about this.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
He is.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
He is shutting down the wall the border. I mean
he does not want the illegal aliens in here. That
that's what it's gonna take. You know, Tom Mabe did
his part, but nobody else seemed to freak immigration.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Hey uh, I got I got seven illegal aliens trapped
on my neighbor's house right now. They're gone out of shape.
Look they were, they were up there stealing his shingles,
and I I'll swipe the ladder I got on trapped
up there, and y'all want to y'all come get them.
(22:30):
You got people trapped on a roof. Yeah, and let
me ask you something, is it like a like a
reward or something? Block that boklock that front door, locking
the illegal aliens out there? Back up for a second.
You got a colony seven people trapped across of a house,
so their ladder. Yeah, there was a eight one shot
(22:50):
me down the drain pipe, and I thought he was
coming to get me, and that's why I took off
running put the ladder.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He took off.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
Run the other way though, and uh yeah, block the
dark damny. Hold up, I know that they are illegal alias.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Do it?
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Come again? How do you know that they're illegal alias?
Sheela told me. Sheila Chatching, my neighbor, teenage daughter. She is,
she made straight age last year. She's a yeah, hey,
it's starting to rain, y'all gonna y'all gonna come get them.
It's a it's coming down pretty bad. If what you're
telling me is that you're detaining what you believe our
(23:26):
seven illegal ages. R Yes, sir, can't do that hold
them against their will, do what you can't hold them
against their will?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
A lot? By the hell not?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Did you? The border is more like a damn state
line and they're just sitting there.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I got them caught.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
All you gotta do is got them up their draft.
You God, you gotta come get them. It doesn't matter
you don't have the authority. Well, I mean it's it's
it's raining.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
I mean you need to do.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
You need to just come get them because it says
it's raining pretty bad. If I were you, I would
go put the ladder back up and let them get down. Okay,
I'm gonna put the freaking ladder back up, get them
up on the roof. Well, okay, I just go, I hope,
get them down with rather the asses off with the
American flag and we'll give them light the shirt, help,
the shirt, food stamp and whatnot.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
This is it's something.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
So I was trying to remember who wrote Queen of
a double wide trailer. We were driving to Austin this
past weekend. Michael was starting back to school at UT
and uh, Crockett is the best car sleeper I've ever known.
(24:44):
I've I've been very, very lucky in my life. All
my dogs and both of my boys have been great
car sleepers. I hear stories about people that when they
when they drive, their dog gets sick and pukes all
over I knock on wood. I hadn't had to see
puke in a decade.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Emily pukes every day, but she doesn't She's not allowed
to puke here and wherever she pukes. She has to
puke and then not talk about it in front of
me because she loves to talk about puking. And I
really don't know what it is why she's not believing,
but she's a puker. And apparently anything that bothers her,
anything that upsets her, anything that grosses her out, she pukes.
(25:30):
And I think because she comes in when we finished
the morning show, and I think I stress her out.
My wife says, I stress her out. I'm a little
bit of a task master, but that's how you get
excellence out of people, right, And so I don't think
she's ever been kind of coached in that way. And
I'll use the word coached as in not really yelled at,
(25:53):
but spoken too firmly anyway, But I haven't had to
see her puke, although if I'm talking about something gross,
which I love to do.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Should go And.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, I don't do the puking thing at all. But
a lot of people will tell me stories about their
kids or their dogs puking, or their kids being bad travelers.
My kids are the best travelers, and I don't get
any credit for that. Even their mom doesn't get any
credit for that, even though she's a great mom, because
they're just from the littlest age. We get in the
(26:26):
truck and go, and we drove a lot across Texas,
and they get in the back and get their blanket
and their pillow, and boom, they were out man. In fact,
at one point I was shopping for a sprinter van
because we always had a weekend place, either in Carmeene
or Welder, and every weekend we would always drive. I'd
finish Friday night and we'd get in the truck and
(26:47):
we'd start driving, and I'd drive for five six hours
till we got Because I want to sleep where I'm
going to be. I like to wake up in the
place where I'm going to be. I don't like to
have to drive in the morning get somewhere. I feel
like I have to write that day off anyway, So
We're driving the Austin and that was a bit of
a side story there, and Crocat's in the back of
sleep happy as he can be, and this comes on
(27:08):
and I turned to nothing and I start singing it
to her and I said, do you even listen? Are
you even listening to the words? And she said no,
And I said, well, it's some of the best writing ever.
So I made her the queen of my double wide
trailer with the polyester curtains and the redwood and the
red redwood deck and the red wood deck. Dang, and
(27:33):
I know the line in the redwood deck, I answered
it anyway. So she said, oh, I'm honored, and I said,
well you should be. So anyway, I thought, I don't
think Sammy Kershall wrote that. I got to look and
see who wrote that lo and behold it's Dennis Lindy again.
You know, there's all these songs that are the soundtrack
(27:54):
of our lives, and you go back and look it
up and it's it's always Mark James, Bob Deal, Dennis Lindy. Well,
here is the small world, how all these things come
back together. Dennis Lindy was born in Abilene and he
would end up as an adult moving to Saint Louis,
(28:16):
but at thirteen he would move from Abilene to San Angelo.
It all came full circle. Room on the whole show.
Just put a little ball on it right there. Yeah, oh,
what did he write? What didn't he write? John dere
Green for Joe Diffy Denni's love, Don Williams, the love
(28:42):
She founded me, Gary Morris, I'm gonna get you, Eddie
Raven to Colin Baton Rouge, big hit for Garth Brooks.
He had an Elvis Bernie love, Bernie love he had
for Elvis. Yep, yeah he anyway, So not everybody seem
(29:02):
to appreciate my I didn't know women could weld joke.
You know, I find it funny. People will say, I'm
so tired of political correctness. I'm so tired of having
to watch you can't say anything anymore, You just can't
say anything. And then I have that young fellow on
and he's clearly nervous as all get out, and so
you got to throw in a couple of singers just
(29:23):
to increase the awkwardness and a tension. And oh you
had a woman. I didn't know women could weld. And
then they start lighting me up. You can't say that
women could weld, Michael, why would you do you see?
Do you hear yourself? Do you hear it yourself? That
was a joke. I shouldn't have to tell you. That's
a joke. Don't tell me in one breath. Ha Man,
(29:44):
you can't say anything anymore. You just can't say anything
anymore because everybody gets upset. Well, but you you also
get upset. Debbie rights. Both of my granddaughters, Molly and
Corey Polywata Polywater. What kind of name that is? Al
Pa l i wda sounds Indian? But I don't think
(30:06):
they're Indian based on these first names. Might be a
Swaboda is a chech name. I think maybe it's check.
Both of my granddaughters, Molly and Corey Polywater took welding
all through high school. Also, they both won grand Champion
and Reserve Champion each several times with their projects at
(30:26):
the waller Ffa Fair. Now their fifteen year old brother,
Mikey Polywater is following their footsteps. This year March twenty
twenty five, waller Ffa Fair, he won Grand Champion for
his very first project. Thank you for your time, Debbie Polywater.
How about that now. That is you know something happened
(30:46):
to me this past weekend. I'll do that chain of
command later. I've got to tell you what happened to
me this weekend. People speaking of people. Let's see if
I can find it. You will not believe what happened
to me, Ramon. I got to read this to you
before what time we got old? We're almost there. Okay,
let me be quick. Let me be quick. Let's see
(31:08):
if I can find it here. Uh, it happened. We
were driving around Texas and this happened to me. Let's
see if I can. Oh, I'm gonna run out of time,
dead gumment. There was a fellow that was telling me
about Colachi's and I wanted to tell his story. Can
(31:28):
we stay late?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Can you run late? Huh?
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
A call playing bok. Just give me just one to
say if I can find this. The problem is, I
was sitting on the back porch and I posted about
forty photos with no story of company. Now I got
to go through them and I can't find it. It
was a hell of a story. It was a fella
in uh in Westcomma, Texas who was telling me where
(31:53):
to get the best Kilachi. His name was Yaroslav. He
was chatty baller. I can find it. There's me and
Merle Haggard. There's me and Ronnie Millsy with me with
long hair. There's effects from I Love It. There's the
boys in Josette Cruz. There's Dan Pastrini and Mickey Gilly
(32:13):
and Uncle Jerry. There's me and Coach Google. There's I mean,
it's a trump round. There's a lot of pictures of me.
The picture me in seventy eight in front of the
Golden Orange fans. Oh, here it is.
It's that time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
why don't you go where fashion sits? Right now?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The reds.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Different times to where Reddy Coke pats where the stripe
sun covid await Coke ber.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It was on this day in nineteen eighty three I
would have been in seventh grade US when Taco's cover
of the song Putting on the Ritz would each number
nine on the Hot one hundred. That song has a
historical designation that will likely never be topped. It's up
(01:10):
there with cal Ripken Junior's over twenty six hundred starts,
or the Yankee clippers fifty six game hitting streak, or
Nolan Ryan's almost six thousand strikeouts. And that record is
that Taco sang the song Putting on the Ritz that
was written in May of twenty seven, released in December
(01:36):
of twenty nine, making Irving Berlin in nineteen eighty three,
ninety five years old and still alive, giving him the
distinction of being the oldest living songwriter ever to land
a top ten hit on the Hot one hundred with
(01:58):
Putting on the Ritz. Most commonly associated with fred Astaire
Aimondi of that version, have.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
You seen the wealth ado upon Lenox Avenue on that
famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air? I hats
and collar collars, white spats and fifteen dollars spanning every time.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
The slang expression to put on the rits was to
dress fashionably, was inspired by the Tony hotel The Ritz
in London, so put on to put on the Ritz
was to dress up, to dress fancy. But the song
makes joke of those who dress up and act like
(02:55):
dandies but they can't afford the lifestyle. It was the
first song in film to be sung by an interracial ensemble.
But our favorite version, if we're being honest, Ramona and
I both agree, is uh Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle
in Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
why don't you go? Wear fashion? Sits different types of
wear A day coat, pants with stripes or cad a
weightcoat perfect fits dressed up like a million dollar trooper
(03:42):
trying mighty hard to look like Gary Cooper.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I guess you got to know what's going on to
get how funny that that audio is. I've always thought
there's a certain parallel to the the construct of that
movie and My Fair Lady. In both cases you have
the person sort of trying to convert this lesser being
(04:11):
into something that can be put out on the stage,
and you're all rooting for that, and the interplay between
the two makes it it quite interesting to think that
Gene Wilder was recording shooting for Blazing Saddles by morning
(04:34):
and afternoon, going home and then writing Young Frankenstein and
mel Brooks did not want to be apart until the
very end, which makes it almost exclusively Wilder's production. He's
writing a whole separate as opposed to Blazing Saddle that
he's doing, Satle that he's doing by day. It's just incredible.
(04:55):
It's amazing the ability to compartmentalize and the creat native
font of genius emanating from that man. I received an
email from a follow up named Braylan Bailey. You can
email me through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. While
you're there, you can buy our merch which supports a
(05:16):
good charity, which is our team. Everybody but me. I
don't make anything of that, but the team does. And
you can sign up for our Daily Blast, which Darryl
Kunda writes every day it gets better and better. It's
growing faster than ever now that we have somebody that
can focus on that and not just be pulled every
different direction you can. I don't know what else you
(05:38):
can do. You can do all sorts of stuff there,
but you can send me an email through the website
Michael Berryshow dot com, which is what Braylan Bailey did,
and he said, zar, I want to brag on one
of my sons, my third oldest son. Braylan Bailey, twenty
years old, finished welding school at San Jack Pasadena this
past May. He just got home from a two week
(06:00):
welding job in Brunie, Texas, South Texas. That Brunie or
BRUNEI you know, I'm gonna say Bruney two weeks down there.
During two weeks down there, he made just over four
thousand dollars. He's twenty years old. He leaves in a
week for North Dakota on another welding job, then another
welding job in California after that. His goal is to
(06:21):
be able to buy his first automobile, a truck, before
the end of October. Twenty twenty five. Our son is
another testament to the value of skilled labor in our
ever changing American society. My wife and I are so
proud of him. Have a blast weekend, David Bailey. I
asked David if he would come on the show, or
(06:44):
Braylan if he would come on the show to tell
his story, because I think there's a lot of hope
out there for kids that don't run. What am I
going to do?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You don't need to go to the mall and fold
close because you don't know what else to do, hey,
because there's no clothes to fold and there's no mall anymore.
But I thought, now, this is a great story. This
is what people need to know about Braylan. You' sir,
Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Sir, How you doing? Thank you for having me?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Is just your first time on a nationally syndicated radio
program to talk about your welding career. Did you ever
imagine this moment and prepare a speech or some opening
remarks or who you'd like to think?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Well, first, I'd like to thank my family, but mostly
my dad forgetting me this opportunity, because he listens to
see you the most, and he puts me on and
I listen to you more and more as I've been
been with him.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So, you know, when I was a kid about ten
twelve years old, my next door neighbor Keith mccomick, and
he was an adults like my big brother, and he
would drive us and we'd drive to the Orangeville gym
and they'd let us in the gym and we'd go
in and we'd shoot free throws and dribble passing drills
in Austin. At the end, I would I would come
(08:03):
up to the link of the court and I would narrate,
you know, and Barry comes up the court and he
takes the shot. They'd have three pointers at that point.
He takes the shot, and when's it for the Did
you ever do that like where you planned where you
were in the middle of an interview and how that
would work out or just kind of on the fly.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
That's right, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Brayleen Bailey is her guest coming up. Hello everybody, This
is Nicky Gilly and you're listening to this season radio Michael.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Barry Rackin't a yellow did a white boy looking board
place to Dude?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Got a message from David Bailey, who's a frequent emailer,
and he said, I want to brag on one of
my sons and most of you know, if you ever
want to brag on your business, your employee, your children,
I will listen till the cows come home. I'm happy
(08:58):
for you to do that. I'm delighted that you do.
I just want to make sure that when you bragged
to me, you also bragged to them, so they know
how proud you are of them. So he's bragging on
his boy. His third oldest, Braylan twenty, finished welding school
at San Jack and Pasadena this past May. And darn
if he's not traveling all over America on welding jobs.
And I said, well, can he come on the show
(09:19):
and tell us about it? Braylan? What made you want
to do? Where'd you go to high school?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I went to Deer Park High School over here in
Deer Park.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's where Andy Pettitt went. It's there are y all friends?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I know?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
If you play ball?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
So I played football? Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What position?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I was? Tight end?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Were you any good?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I was decent?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Were you like a Rock Bowers tight end? Or Antonio
Gates or more Ozzie Newsome Kellen Winslow. Where would you
put yourself?
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Probably Kevin Winslow.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Okay, what made you want to do welding?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Welding?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Probably my junior in high school. I got into the
class ag mechantic class over there and Deer Park, and.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I had no idea how.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
To weld or anything, and I my teachers just helped us,
probably just how to pick one up and put a
rotten And from there I kind of going on. In
my senior year, I made a I'm doing an agmech
project show over here at the further Pasadena Rodeo. And
I made my first project my senior year. I made
(10:42):
a table, little coffee table, and I got to show
that and sell that. Didn't place, didn't play a big third,
second or first, but it was my first show and
I kind of fell in love with the making stuff
and kind of kicked off from there. After I graduated,
went to send Jack and took my first classes all
(11:04):
the way from intro to advance.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Did it all? So?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Did you find that you did better in these classes
than you did other classes in high school that didn't
exactly hold your interest?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
A lot better, is sir?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
It's more a lot of hands on that's what I wanted.
That's what I was looking for in high school. It
was more hands on and I knew agg mechanics. Out
there at the agbarn there's a lot of hands on stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So do you still have that table that you submitted
as your entry?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I do not.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I'm pretty sure my dad. My dad may have a table.
He wanted me to go show it. But yeah, it
was a pretty cool table. It was about foot high
off the ground of the coffee table. Well, he's pretty
the bottom frame of it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
He's pretty proud of his boy based on the email
I got on you, so he may have kept it.
Because I keep everything in my kids. It's cringe worthy.
I have boys that are almost your age, eighteen and nineteen. Team.
How long is welding school at San Jack?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
It can go for as long as you want.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
But I went for the combo weld Indigree, which is
sticking tig and that was about a two year program.
And you do from all the way your intro stick
class to your intro take class and then you get
all the way to your.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Vans and so so the I know the terminology. I
can't weld. I've never welded in my life. I admire
you that you can. But I know you mentioned the
stick and the tig and the different kinds of welding.
Do you have a type of welding that you're better
at or you want to focus on, or that you're
more now more experienced at.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
My advand focus right now is to get more into stainless,
which is tag welding.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I think that's a very unique process.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Now, when you finished welding school this past what this
past May, how did you go about getting the job
that you now have?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
So San Jack is the professors there are really well
connected with other companies and San Jack is very connected
with other businesses too, and they have job fairs and stuff.
And going to the job fair, I met with a
wealth and recruiter guy and he kind of he helped
(13:28):
me get my foot in the door with this.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Job I'm learn right now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And who is that?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
His name is Mike Miller.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Oh, I'm sorry. Who is the company you're with?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Oh? Company part of me. It's called CEM SAM.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And what are they are they contractors that are brought
in to do to do projects. That's what you're.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Doing, Yes, sir, So Sam got me and some other
guys to go out there to another job for another company,
Like they kind of recruited us out there and other
kids that got the opportunity to go out there see
how they like it, get experience in the field. And
(14:17):
it really was not much welding. It was more cutting
getting getting here in their experience and getting trained on
actual field stuff. And that's what I was looking for.
And he helped me with that, and I fell in
love with it, and now I'm off to go do
another job with them.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Do you have a mentor at work for when you're not,
you know, not sure how to do a project or
you just figure it out as you go along.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
My boss, my my foreman, she's awesome. She helps me
and a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'm not trying to be rude, but I honestly didn't
know until ten seconds ago that girls could weld.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Really.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Yeah, my high school team my junior year when I
first started, she was a woman, and she taught me
how to world.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Really. I think that's cool. Really, Yes, no, I'm not
being funny. I really didn't know. I'd never heard of
such a thing. I think that's fantastic. And your dad
was bragging that you're doing well and your goal is
by October to buy yourself a truck.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
That's correct, Yes, sir, hopefully sooner.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I got a message from one of my show sponsors
during the break because I read your dad's email and
the pride dripping out of his voice in this message
made me very happy as a father myself. And I
got a message from Mike Bachis, who's the GM of
Lone Star Chevy, and he said, tell that boy he
needs a Silverado and that I will take care of him.
(15:51):
I will give him the best deal. I'll make sure
he gets exactly what he wants. Send him up here.
And I said, well, I haven't even spoken to him yet,
but we'll get it figured out. They're already lining up
to sell you your first truck. I think this is fantastic, Bylan.
I'm so proud of you, I really am. I'm so
proud of you. Got your head on straight. You're gonna
(16:12):
look back at this point in your life, and you
made such good decisions. Good on you, buddy boy. Two
most distinctive dances for a white man over seventy who
only has one dance move Mick Jagger, Donald Trump. The
(16:34):
Department of Homeland Security is painting the steel border wall black.
Secretary Christy Noam says it was at the behest of
President Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Because he said, you know who Ari Schaeffer is.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Do you remember did you ever see the video of
when he pulled up to home depot. They all jump
in the back and he drives up to ice and
he honks the horn, and the President Trump told Christy
know him he wants the border wall painted black because
when the South Texas heat hits it, South Texas son
(17:30):
hits it, it'll be hotter to the touch and harder
to climb. Story from National Desk.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Secretary Christine Ome walked along the border fence here in
something Essa and talked about the fact that illegal border
crossings are at a record low.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But way and where.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Secretary Christine Ome walked along the border fence here in
Somethingessa and Tom.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
The way you tell me about Santa Teresa in sometha thatesa.
There were that Saturday Night Live episode that's my favorite one.
They have they hire they uh, they they hire the
new guy in the office and he's Hispanic, so they
they all of a sudden accentuate everything. What should we
have for lunch, guys? Maybe an the whole thing they're
(18:23):
doing just that phrase that was a little much, I thought,
right there in the middle. I don't know if he
needed to do that.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Secretary Christinome walked along the border fence here in Santa
Ddessa and talked about the fact that illegal border crossings
are at a record low. But the big announcement today
was something that caught a lot of us by surprise.
What she said is that the entire length of the
border wall will be painted black. And she said that
(18:50):
is more than something that is done for cosmetic reasons,
although certainly painting those ballers, those steel ballers, will protect
them from rust. But what she was talking about was
a directive from President Trump, who said that he told
her that he wanted the border wall painted black because
the color black will make the steel hotter, which will
(19:10):
make it harder for illegal border crossers.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
If you look at the structure that's behind me, it's tall,
which makes it very very difficult to climb, almost impossible.
It also goes deep into the ground, which would make
it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig under. And
today we are also going to be painting it black.
That is specifically at the request of the President, who
understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something
(19:36):
is painted black, it gets even warmer and it will
make it even harder for people to climb. So we
are going to be painting the entire southern border wall
black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not
come into our country illegally.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
Also asked Secretary Nomes specifically about whether or not critics
of the Trump administration would think that painting it black
to make the wall hotter was it's cruel. This is
what she had to.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Say, don't touch it.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
They have a choice.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Some that I.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Like that he made reference to the ballards. Ballard is
one of my favorite words. It comes from a Dutch
word called bowl the o l e, and it is
a botanical term meaning a tree trunk, So the ballard
is intended to be similar to the tree trunk. Ballard
(20:33):
is one of my favorite words. And I don't know
why I like it. And I only know of one
song that ever made mention of a ballard, and Frankly
gave the ballard it's it's it's due, you know what
it was?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Those ballards road got spread the highway making money.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
The fly away.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Away.

I'm gonna let beak. You Gotta give Trump credit. Man,
he's serious about this.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
He is.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
He is shutting down the wall the border. I mean
he does not want the illegal aliens in here. That
that's what it's gonna take. You know, Tom Mabe did
his part, but nobody else seemed to freak immigration.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Hey uh, I got I got seven illegal aliens trapped
on my neighbor's house right now. They're gone out of shape.
Look they were, they were up there stealing his shingles,
and I I'll swipe the ladder I got on trapped
up there, and y'all want to y'all come get them.
(22:30):
You got people trapped on a roof. Yeah, and let
me ask you something, is it like a like a
reward or something? Block that boklock that front door, locking
the illegal aliens out there? Back up for a second.
You got a colony seven people trapped across of a house,
so their ladder. Yeah, there was a eight one shot
(22:50):
me down the drain pipe, and I thought he was
coming to get me, and that's why I took off
running put the ladder.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He took off.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
Run the other way though, and uh yeah, block the
dark damny. Hold up, I know that they are illegal alias.
Speaker 7 (23:05):

Sheela told me. Sheila Chatching, my neighbor, teenage daughter. She is,
she made straight age last year. She's a yeah, hey,
it's starting to rain, y'all gonna y'all gonna come get them.
It's a it's coming down pretty bad. If what you're
telling me is that you're detaining what you believe our
(23:26):
seven illegal ages. R Yes, sir, can't do that hold
them against their will, do what you can't hold them
against their will?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
A lot? By the hell not?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Did you? The border is more like a damn state
line and they're just sitting there.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I got them caught.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
All you gotta do is got them up their draft.
You God, you gotta come get them. It doesn't matter
you don't have the authority. Well, I mean it's it's
it's raining.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
I mean you need to do.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
You need to just come get them because it says
it's raining pretty bad. If I were you, I would
go put the ladder back up and let them get down. Okay,
I'm gonna put the freaking ladder back up, get them
up on the roof. Well, okay, I just go, I hope,
get them down with rather the asses off with the
American flag and we'll give them light the shirt, help,
the shirt, food stamp and whatnot.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
This is it's something.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
So I was trying to remember who wrote Queen of
a double wide trailer. We were driving to Austin this
past weekend. Michael was starting back to school at UT
and uh, Crockett is the best car sleeper I've ever known.
(24:44):
I've I've been very, very lucky in my life. All
my dogs and both of my boys have been great
car sleepers. I hear stories about people that when they
when they drive, their dog gets sick and pukes all
over I knock on wood. I hadn't had to see
puke in a decade.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Emily pukes every day, but she doesn't She's not allowed
to puke here and wherever she pukes. She has to
puke and then not talk about it in front of
me because she loves to talk about puking. And I
really don't know what it is why she's not believing,
but she's a puker. And apparently anything that bothers her,
anything that upsets her, anything that grosses her out, she pukes.
(25:30):
And I think because she comes in when we finished
the morning show, and I think I stress her out.
My wife says, I stress her out. I'm a little
bit of a task master, but that's how you get
excellence out of people, right, And so I don't think
she's ever been kind of coached in that way. And
I'll use the word coached as in not really yelled at,
(25:53):
but spoken too firmly anyway, But I haven't had to
see her puke, although if I'm talking about something gross,
which I love to do.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Should go And.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, I don't do the puking thing at all. But
a lot of people will tell me stories about their
kids or their dogs puking, or their kids being bad travelers.
My kids are the best travelers, and I don't get
any credit for that. Even their mom doesn't get any
credit for that, even though she's a great mom, because
they're just from the littlest age. We get in the
(26:26):
truck and go, and we drove a lot across Texas,
and they get in the back and get their blanket
and their pillow, and boom, they were out man. In fact,
at one point I was shopping for a sprinter van
because we always had a weekend place, either in Carmeene
or Welder, and every weekend we would always drive. I'd
finish Friday night and we'd get in the truck and
(26:47):
we'd start driving, and I'd drive for five six hours
till we got Because I want to sleep where I'm
going to be. I like to wake up in the
place where I'm going to be. I don't like to
have to drive in the morning get somewhere. I feel
like I have to write that day off anyway, So
We're driving the Austin and that was a bit of
a side story there, and Crocat's in the back of
sleep happy as he can be, and this comes on
(27:08):
and I turned to nothing and I start singing it
to her and I said, do you even listen? Are
you even listening to the words? And she said no,
And I said, well, it's some of the best writing ever.
So I made her the queen of my double wide
trailer with the polyester curtains and the redwood and the
red redwood deck and the red wood deck. Dang, and
(27:33):
I know the line in the redwood deck, I answered
it anyway. So she said, oh, I'm honored, and I said,
well you should be. So anyway, I thought, I don't
think Sammy Kershall wrote that. I got to look and
see who wrote that lo and behold it's Dennis Lindy again.
You know, there's all these songs that are the soundtrack
(27:54):
of our lives, and you go back and look it
up and it's it's always Mark James, Bob Deal, Dennis Lindy. Well,
here is the small world, how all these things come
back together. Dennis Lindy was born in Abilene and he
would end up as an adult moving to Saint Louis,
(28:16):
but at thirteen he would move from Abilene to San Angelo.
It all came full circle. Room on the whole show.
Just put a little ball on it right there. Yeah, oh,
what did he write? What didn't he write? John dere
Green for Joe Diffy Denni's love, Don Williams, the love
(28:42):
She founded me, Gary Morris, I'm gonna get you, Eddie
Raven to Colin Baton Rouge, big hit for Garth Brooks.
He had an Elvis Bernie love, Bernie love he had
for Elvis. Yep, yeah he anyway, So not everybody seem
(29:02):
to appreciate my I didn't know women could weld joke.
You know, I find it funny. People will say, I'm
so tired of political correctness. I'm so tired of having
to watch you can't say anything anymore, You just can't
say anything. And then I have that young fellow on
and he's clearly nervous as all get out, and so
you got to throw in a couple of singers just
(29:23):
to increase the awkwardness and a tension. And oh you
had a woman. I didn't know women could weld. And
then they start lighting me up. You can't say that
women could weld, Michael, why would you do you see?
Do you hear yourself? Do you hear it yourself? That
was a joke. I shouldn't have to tell you. That's
a joke. Don't tell me in one breath. Ha Man,
(29:44):
you can't say anything anymore. You just can't say anything
anymore because everybody gets upset. Well, but you you also
get upset. Debbie rights. Both of my granddaughters, Molly and
Corey Polywata Polywater. What kind of name that is? Al
Pa l i wda sounds Indian? But I don't think
(30:06):
they're Indian based on these first names. Might be a
Swaboda is a chech name. I think maybe it's check.
Both of my granddaughters, Molly and Corey Polywater took welding
all through high school. Also, they both won grand Champion
and Reserve Champion each several times with their projects at
(30:26):
the waller Ffa Fair. Now their fifteen year old brother,
Mikey Polywater is following their footsteps. This year March twenty
twenty five, waller Ffa Fair, he won Grand Champion for
his very first project. Thank you for your time, Debbie Polywater.
How about that now. That is you know something happened
(30:46):
to me this past weekend. I'll do that chain of
command later. I've got to tell you what happened to
me this weekend. People speaking of people. Let's see if
I can find it. You will not believe what happened
to me, Ramon. I got to read this to you
before what time we got old? We're almost there. Okay,

(31:08):
if I can find it here. Uh, it happened. We
were driving around Texas and this happened to me. Let's
see if I can. Oh, I'm gonna run out of time,
dead gumment. There was a fellow that was telling me
about Colachi's and I wanted to tell his story. Can
(31:28):
we stay late?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Can you run late? Huh?
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
A call playing bok. Just give me just one to
say if I can find this. The problem is, I
was sitting on the back porch and I posted about
forty photos with no story of company. Now I got
to go through them and I can't find it. It
was a hell of a story. It was a fella
