So Michael Berry show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning Michael Berry, but no, you cannot use my bathroom.
Speaker 2 (00:23):

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good morning, Michael Berry. It's Sean Connery. But you had

Good morning, Michael Berry. I'm all jaked up on Mountain dew.
Good morning, Michael Berry. Good morning, Michael Hello, Hello are

(00:52):
Did I read it to my money?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Most Texas Morning, Caring Texas, and we're happy talking about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Good morning, we're not wearing.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Good morning, Good morning, Texas.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Good morning week.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Mistrict.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Goddamn good morning. A young, just married couple arrived at
a hotel. They go to the reception and they explain
that they have eloped and they need a room to
celebrate their first night as husband and wife. The receptionist
(01:56):
asks would you like the bridle, and the bride says
that's okay. I'll just hold on to his ears till
I get the hang of it. Remote. How does a
gastro entrologist arrive at a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Why do Chinese restaurant workers apply for remote jobs so
they can walk from home.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
One dog says to another.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You know, ninety nine ninety nine point nine percent of
dogs cannot do math. I'm one of the ten percent
who can. Timmy Waltz is not doing well. The governor
of the state of Minnesota has announced that he will
(02:56):
not be running for reelection. After all the fraud has
been and it continues, and apparently there are rumors that
it gets far worse. So he announced, I just can't
run for Minnesota while I'm rooting out all the fraud,
which sounded a lot like OJ Simpson saying release me
(03:16):
so that I can go find the real killer. Well,
Timmy watsh has gone fully unhinged. He is now blaming
Donald Trump for January sixth, when the press asks him
questions about the massive fraud in Mogadishu, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I almost feel bad for the dude. Almost. He is
in a bad place.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You can sit in his eyes, if you watch the interviews,
you can see it in his eyes. It's disturbing. Actually,
the breakdown of this weirdo. Let's check in on his podcast.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Hello to the deepest spots of Minnesota. Oh. I don't
know if this is Nina. This could be the last
sting for my jazz hand. Who know it's great. But
what I do know is I've always loved the speediful state.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Don't cry for me, Mina the case, send some money,
our friend, don't cry for me, min as soul.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Republicans are jeful of thing.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I want to say goodbye Minnesota, and I don't really
think it's goodbye.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I just want to say to be continued.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Don't cry on me.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Ot.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
If you flew over the holidays, you probably saw a
number of people being wheeled onto flights. My god, we
have a very disabled population. And the miracle that happened
after they got off the flight. Wall Street Journal says
they get wheeled on flights and miraculously.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Walk off praise jetway Jesus.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
Box news report revealing that some travelers are faking disabilities
to skip airport lines and then walk off the plane
once it lands. They're being called jetway Jesus. One flight
attendant telling the Wall Street Journal quote, many able body
passengers request wheelchairs for the vip entrance and escored down
(05:36):
the jetway that lets them skip the lines and gives
them first crack it overhead space. Once they realize at
the end of the flight they have to wait for
assistance to disambark.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The healing begins.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yes, you know, I don't know what it says about
our culture, but it certainly says something that everything that
is offered as a courtesy for a rare exception.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Gets abused by everybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I don't know how long ago it was, but I
remember a time when you never saw you never saw
a service dog. And then overnight everybody needed a service dog.
And then we started into the will I'll bring my donkey, Okay,
I'll bring my rhinoceros, I'll bring my giraffe. It became
(06:31):
I want to bring I want to I want to
travel with my animal, So I'll just make it a
service dog. What started as guys who came back from
war shot to hell suffering deep PTSD, for whom a
dog gave them comfort a medical therapeutic device became oh,
(06:55):
it just like fife to come with me. And then
we struggle as a society to implement rules because everybody
is so afraid corporations. That is, employees have good sense,
So then you have the employee who's not allowed to
push back. The only answer to this is the Cloward
(07:17):
Pivens collapse the system. For one day, everybody goes to
the airport and everybody requests a wheelchair, every single person,
every single person.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And there's a complete collapse of the system. So what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So now the person who can tell this person disabled says,
they go, all right, you decide no more than one
out of one hundred can be disabled.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's the only answer.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's just there's another abuse that I bitch about and
nobody ever cares, and people think I'm crazy. For iah
Bush air is the worst airport I've ever seen of this.
They have these big carts and they scrambed coming through,
coming through to which I say, go around, go around,
(08:11):
And you see people on there and it's supposedly because
they're disabled.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
They're not. They're late for their flight. Know that you
just don't want to walk.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So for every two or three people that's on one
of those, you've got five hundred people that have to
be inconvenienced. Plus you're paying for somebody to drive these
people around. They can walk like the rest of us
show up on time. If you're in the video of
the dude playing too much. Mario Kart gets out on
his go kart on I forty five. I don't know
(08:41):
if I gotta figure, you don't do something like this
unless you want to film it and post it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So I'm guessing it's somebody he knows who He's.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Out in the middle of forty five in the old
fashioned go cart, you know, three inches off the ground
the middle, you know, cars going.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Along and there he goes euston chronicle rights.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's unclear when the video was taken, but it was
published on.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Instagram December twenty third.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Go kart sidings on Houston roadways are rare, but not
unheard of. ABC thirteen reported twenty seventeen a woman took
a video of a go cart near I ten. Richard Standeffer,
spokesman for the Texas Apartment of Public Safety in the
Houston area, said he hasn't seen go karts on the highways,
but has seen similar situations involving dirt bites brks that
(09:35):
are not street legal. Stanford said a driver operating a
go cart on a highway would likely face multiple class
c violations because the vehicle does not meet legal requirements
from roadway use. The vehicle does not even set up
high enough to be operated on the roadway, much less
have the appropriate lighting, registration, horn, and blinkers. There's a
(09:57):
laundry list of issues enforcement ofsters spotted a go cart
on the highway, they would likely initiate a standard traffic
stop to stop the go cart safely, he said. Standford
said law enforcement would issue a citation and the driver
would not be able to continue driving on the highway
in the go cart. Harris County DIA's office spokesman said
in an email that a driver could face fines of
(10:18):
up to two hundred and five hundred dollars if a
vehicle's registration is expired or a vehicle is unregistered. It's
similar to a speeding ticket, and the vehicle will be
impounded if it is unregistered, if there's no license plate.
The poor people who might hit, the poor people who
might hit this driver, that would ruin That would ruin
(10:39):
your life. It wouldn't be your fault, but that doesn't matter.
You'd still feel horrible. It's not the feeling horrible that
would ruin your life. Let's be very clear. This is
where we have allowed into our society a cancer, and
that is that whoever the idiot is on a go cart,
if he weaves into your lane or does something that
(11:00):
causes you to be the person accused in his death,
how does that play out? We've seen it a million times. Well,
the idiot on the go kart has a family full
of idiots, and that family full of idiots runs and
hires an attorney. It's not the attorney's fault that you
make this claim. You have to stand behind the claim.
So that idiot, their family has figured out that we
(11:25):
love a good story and we love a good victim,
and so that person becomes a victim.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
He couldn't afford a vehicle, and before you know.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It, he will not have been out joy riding weaving
through lanes of I forty five or I ten in
peak traffic. He will be a downtrodden soul who's trying
to make it on his way to a job. Interview.
Not likely, but I guess that made for a better story.
And before you know it, somebody will settle and the
family will get paid, and that idiot will give them
(11:53):
more money than he ever could have or would have
in his life. The problem is that we're not a
series society any longer. We are a TikTok society. You
can't go to dinner today without some woman and her
cuckhold boyfriend holding her purse, and the entire time she's there,
(12:14):
she's got her phone out as a mirror, and then
eventually she hands him the phone and he takes picture
of her, pictures of her throughout the thing, and maybe
they go outside and he takes pictures of her the
entire time. You think about that, I can't imagine in
my dad's day my mother doing that. Well, my mother
wouldn't do that because she didn't like to be photographed anyway.
But I can't imagine men of that generation being the
(12:38):
purse holder, photographer, driver for the next Kim Kardashian wannabe.
I just cannot imagine that. A career criminal with a
long rap. She'd arrested after leading Popo on a chase
along the East tex Freeway in a stolen military style
tractor trailer. Investigators say he rammed ten cars during the
chase and ultimately ended with a swat standoff the man
(13:00):
who owns the trucks as he woke up Monday morning
shocked to see his truck being used in a chase
that has gone viral. Can you imagine you wake up?
Speaker 10 (13:09):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Are your wife? Hey honey, that looks a lot like
your truck. It's not my truck? Was my my truck? Well,
that one.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Has four astro stickers down. Oh no, KPRCTV with the story.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
You're looking at just a few seconds of the wild
sixty five minute police chase through Houston and Harris County,
in which the driver of this heavy duty military truck
hit several other cars and tried to ram police officers
before finally being stopped by DPS officers who were able
to flatten his tires.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
We do have the suspect in custody. He's a fifty
three year old Hispanic mail the.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
Man driving a car Omar Moreno now charged with several
counts of aggravated assault and evading arrest. But we now
know that that military vehicle was actually stolen only hours
earlier from a very interesting man who had actually bought
that vehicle with a very noble purpose in mind, R
new Caguchi.
Speaker 12 (14:09):
How would he walked by everybody want this day?
Speaker 11 (14:11):
His name is Reuben Nero, but he's better known as
paper U, a gold record winning recording artist from Trinidad.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Put it in there, put it in.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
And he bought that military style truck several years ago
after the severe winter freeze of twenty twenty two left
thousands of Houstonians without electrical power. So that truck, you
were using it to haul all these generators the trailer
to help people are who lose power. Yes, he also
bought eight large diesel powered electric generators and was going
(14:42):
to use that military truck to deliver those electric generators
to people who may lose power in any future catastrophic storms.
Speaker 12 (14:50):
My mine was on how could I give help and
give people power they needed. I know I can't cover
the whole city, but I could.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Do my part.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Last Sunday night, Ruben left his truck parked right here
at a storage slot off of Postal Road. Monday morning, though,
he woke up to a video on TikTok and couldn't
believe what he was seeing.
Speaker 12 (15:10):
Looking at TikTok, I just saw a truck zooming by
with a police change with multiple police costs chasing it,
and I was like, I said, that's my truck.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Ruben's been told by investigators his truck is now being
held in an impound lot and he will be going
to pick it up tomorrow. In the meantime, he plans
to keep on singing with all the joy he has
in his heart, and he plans to follow up this
case and follow what happens to the man he says,
tried to steal his hopeful mission.
Speaker 12 (15:41):
I'm going all the way through this whole case, you
know what I mean, because it robbed the people, robbed myself.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And and just robbed humanity to me.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I wonder where he's from. He's got a cool accent.
Do you ever notice if you listen to news reports
of a man on the street, nobody sounds like they've
lived here more than year? Do you ever notice that
nobody sounds like, Oh, you went to Beller High School
nineteen eighty five?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Ever ever.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Hs the four hour system from Michael Arry Show and
other leading companies.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I always imagine you realize there was a guy who
conceived the idea, I'm gonna get me an get me
a ice agent officer costume.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Oh that'd be cool. Yeah, you know, I'll uh, I'll
ask people for their ID.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Tell some women they they can either go to they
can either get deported or come home with me and
have sex. Can make the dudes give me money. That'd
be cool. I'd do you know what, I'm gonna do it.
I always say I'm gonna do stuff and I don't
follow through. This time, I'm going to do it. Make
(17:07):
my parents proud. And then he ordered something. I mean,
think of the layers. This isn't a decide to do
it in five minutes later you're asking for IDs, right.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And then you know, you get up.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You figure you probably take a shower before you go
do the ice agent thing. You comb your hair real good,
clip your nails, shave. Yeah, it's always a dude. Do
you ever notice that it's always a dude? And then
and then what you get in your car and you're like, okay,
this is the day, this is the day. I'm going
(17:44):
to do it. Here I go, watch me now hold
my beer. Here I go, I'm a ice agent. And
then you figure, first time he does it, if he
doesn't get caught the first time, he does it, one
hundred times before he's caught, because.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He gets better.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And the people you're arresting are detaining, they're not really
in a position.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
To tell you to stop.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Another fake ICE agent arrest, this time in Galveston. The
guy who confronted him tells ABC, I noticed his gear
and his outfit. It looked like it just came in
from TMU. It wasn't like what real cops wear. ABC
thirteen with the story.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
It looked like a late night traffic stop. To the
people behind the camera, immediately felt wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
What the hell do we just see if a cop?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Robert Harvey and Bruce Revman are self described community activists
who patrol Galveson County streets and regularly record police incidents.
Nearly two months ago that came upon what they thought
was one near Galveson Strand.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He was doing.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Everything a normal police officer does.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He had people's ID in their hand.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
He was shining his flashlight at these people in the face.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
However, Harvey says he quickly realized something wasn't right.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I noticed his gear in his outfit. It looked like
it just came in from TIMU. It wasn't like real cops.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Where Harvey says, there wasn't a police cruiser either. In
the video, Harvey tried to get information, what's your name
in Vagner or I don't have to get Harvey asked
to see a badge. Eventually, he says one was shown.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Did you see it?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Just hit me in the fight? Moments later, the man
took off in a blue vehicle. Harvey says they tracked
down officers around the corner.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
I felt like this guy needed to be snitched on.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That is very dangerous what he was doing.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
You know, we don't like bad cops, but somebody pretending
to be a bad cop is worse than.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
A bad cop.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Gbson police said the incident sparked an investigation. Days ago,
officers arrested Joshua Warner. Officers say witnesses told them Warner
pretended to be an Ice agent.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
Right now, Warner faces two counts of impersonating law enforcement,
but Gabison detectives believe there may.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Be more victims.
Speaker 13 (19:49):
That's why they put his information in photo out to
social media and asked anyone who may have been unlawfully
detained by Warner to contact police.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
After I shared the video, stories came in from everywhere.
People were email I probably got a hundred emails, a
hundred messages on messenger.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
People, Harvey says he encouraged to contact police. Like he
did after seeing this. You're shut in a flashlight an
right now. Now it's Warner behind bars where he's being
held on a half a million dollar bond.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Very happy that.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
They arrested him and got that dangerous guy off the
street before somebody got hurt.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Maybe he thinks it's kind of like a volunteer firefighter,
you know, volunteer firefighter. He's not a full time firefighter.
He's not a professional firefighter, but everybody respects and admires him.
Or maybe he thinks to himself, you know, we got
(20:45):
so many illegals. We don't have enough ice agents. I'm
tired of watching the news. I'm gonna do my part.
I'm just going to start figuring out who's here illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
And who can stay.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
That's going to be my that's going to be my
contribution to this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I'm going to Moreau must leaves up and get involved.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Michael Reagan, the eldest son of President Reagan, has passed
away at the age of eighty. He was adopted shortly
after his birth by Ronald Reagan and his den wife,
Jane Wyman. He turned out to be a very very
good talk radio host, a commentator, and an author, and
(21:39):
he defended his father's legacy. You may not remember, because
I think our brain is wired for the negative stuff,
But you may have thought that there were problems with
Michael Reagan, and in fact, quite the opposite. He was
the son who admired his father and worked very hard
(22:01):
to preserve his legacy. We had the pleasure of talking
to Michael Reagan back in twenty twenty three and the
story he told about his dad and how his dad
taught him about taxes one of my favorites.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
I learned a lot of lessons from my dad's I
was write writing that book, and I'm just reminded of them,
you know, when it comes to Father's Day. How I
learned about America. I learned about America saying the right
first see of the station wagon on a he' given Saturday,
right out to the ranch, and haven't jailed me with
songs of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the
Coast Guard, and learning about America and the greatness of
(22:35):
America eight years old writing out to the ranch and
just in awe of listening to the stories. I also
learned about the tax system in America writing out to
the ranch. Because I asked him for a larger allowance,
and I heard about the tax system in America, which
a ten year old doesn't care about. He just cares,
you gonna give me more, just.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Not give me the money.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
That's right. But he did make their problems. He said,
listen to a president elected. It gives me a tax break,
give you his larger allowance. And it was carried in
the game of a tax break. And he raised my
allowance from what a dollar a week to five dollars
a week.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So it's a rough legacy.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I don't think it was easy to be Ronald Reagan's son,
but somehow he was the only one who managed to
do so with grace and dignity.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Rest in peace, Michael Reagan.
Speaker 14 (23:28):
Michael Showy Revalie a million dollar record sale.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Just a couple of days ago was the twentieth anniversary
of Vince Young on fourth and five, taken an in
for the winning score in the best National championship game
I ever watched, and not just because the University of
Texas won it. What a game, What a game. The
only person in that pregame pregame crew that I recall
(23:59):
who picked the University of Texas was Lee Corso and
they thought he was crazy at the time. That USC
team is one of the best USC teams to ever
play college football. I'm not saying it was two thousand
and one Miami, but that team, I don't think they'd
been beaten in three years, three seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think they had won the.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
National championship two times before and that was number three.
Could be wrong on that, but I vaguely recall that
at the time. I just remember they didn't have a
week link, Reggie Bush in the background in the backfield,
Matt Lionert as a quarterback. I mean, they were solid, strong, fast, efficient,
(24:39):
and I was just proud of the University of Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I had friends who are Aggies through and through, they
bleed maroon, who had their saw them off taped up
so that it made it such that they were rooting
for the University of Texas.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I know a lot of people like to act like
they liked their team and no other team is any good,
and that's part of their identity and the only interesting
thing about them, and that's fine. I root for teams
from the state of Texas when they go to the playoffs,
I just do. And if that makes me less sophisticated
or week or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Else, so be it. I wanted to see.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I was so proud of Texas Tech their best season
ever and to see them go as far as they did,
to see the season that they had, to see the
way they played ball, it was. There's a lot of
momentum in Lubbock right now, a lot of momentum in
that town and at that university, and obviously on the
(25:39):
sporting field. They played for the women's softball championship. I
watched it with Gary Peterson, who's one of their three
biggest donors, and boy, I never expected I'd get that
excited watching a team from Texas. But they paid this
girl a million dollars to come over and pitch, and
the only reason she didn't win the championship is I
think she'd pitched, you know, three out of five days
in a row, and she was just war slap out.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
But that was a fun team to watch. This Aggie
team was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I was disappointed that they didn't beat what has turned
out to be a very very good Miami team. I
didn't think they looked as good against A and M
but neither did an M.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I would have liked to seeing them advance.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
University of Houston had their best season in a few
beating LSU.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You know our boy Charlie Hager of Captain Legendary Bandy.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know what he posted when I when I complimented
the Cougars, he said, oh, all the LSU players were
gone and it doesn't matter. I said, you're being a
capital L lower O capital s capital U lower R
a loser And I made that out of LSU. And
(26:45):
I don't know if anybody else ever done that before,
and I felt that was very, very clever. I was
quite proud of myself. You ever do that, Ramon, I
know you do. You post something and you're real proud
of it. You kind of sit back, no matter what
else is going on around owned you.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You kind of hit refresh.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
And I wonder if anybody else will think that was
clever too. Speaking of Great Longhorn Legends wide receiver Jordan
Shipley is in critical condition but stable, critical but stable
condition after an accident at his rest at his ranch
in Texas Hill Country in Burnett. His family says he
sustained third degree burns on twenty percent of his body,
(27:27):
saying a machine that he was operating caught fire. He
was able to get out of the machine, I'm not
sure what the machine is, and a worker on the
ranch drove him to a local hospital. He was flown
to Austin, probably Breckenridge, and is in critical but stable condition.
ESPN wrote, Shipley was a Longhorns great, starring for the
(27:48):
program as both a receiver and a kick returner from
six to nine. A two time All American, holds a
host of single season receiving records at Texas, including yards
fourteen eighty nine in two thousand and nine and receptions
one hundred and sixteen in nine. He's also the program's
career leader for receptions with two hundred and forty eight,
(28:09):
ranked second in career receiving yards with thirty one to
ninety one, trailing only Roy Williams. As a special teams player,
he returned thirty punts for three hundred and seventy five
yards for twelve and a half yard average and three touchdowns.
Returned nineteen kickoffs for four hundred and sixty eight yards
a twenty four point six yard average in one score.
That was back when he returned to kickoffs Shipley went
(28:31):
on to play in the NFL after being released in
the third round. After being selected in the third round
of the twenty ten draft by the Bengals, he had
fifty two receptions for six hundred yards and three touchdowns
in his rookie season and went on to play two
more years, splitting time between the Bengals, Bucks, and Jacksonville Jaguars,
before retiring in twenty fourteen. I'll tell you what, for
a guy that was selected in the third round, fifty
(28:53):
two receptions for six hundred yards a pretty good rookie season.
A lot of guys don't make any country their first season,
much less fifty two receptions in your rookie season as
a third rounder. He was fun to root for, and
let's be honest, it was also cool that he was white.
I would be dishonest if I didn't admit that it
(29:16):
was kind of cool that there was a white guy
that wasn't Steve Tasker and wasn't Mike Beebe, It wasn't
Steve Largent, he wasn't just a guy that ran really
smart routes and got an inch off the ground and
caught past his tuckdown like that on third and four
It was kind of cool that there was a white
dude with blazing fast speed, white lightning speed, and who
(29:40):
played the way he did. That was kind of cool.
Speaking on which I know that people hate arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I get it. I get it. But they claimed.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I watched it on TV that he was clocked at
twenty one point seven in that touchdown run when he
broke through the middle against Michigan, and that would be
point one percent. That would be point one mile an
hour faster than Sakwan Barkley's fastest run.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Say what you want to, dude, it looked like you
had it on. It looked like you had.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It sped up if you watched Did you watch the
game in real time? It looked like CGI or something.
When he broke and started running, it was like the
sea's parted and he looked like a gazelle.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Look.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I have been very disappointed in arch Manning. First of all,
I thought the hype was overblown.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I was right.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Secondly, I thought it was too much pressure to put
on a guy before he'd done anything.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I was right.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
A third I thought he was an accurate passer. I'm
still right. Would that run. I got an email from
a Walmart greet and he said, you're the first person
I've ever heard say anything nice about the Walmart greeter
program and how that was how you because I was
talking about how that's how you humanized a big corporate.
(31:04):
You got these big box stores that have no human
beings that you know, and they're in small towns. The
way they humanized it was that they had old folks
in the community that didn't have anything going on, and
you have them stand at the front and greet people.
And everyone loves to make jokes, but it's because you
liked it, because that was somebody's grandpa. And he said,
I appreciate you doing that. And I said, he said,
(31:25):
I can tell you stories about being a Walmart reader.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I said, good, you will. Who's coming up
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Berry show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning Michael Berry, but no, you cannot use my bathroom.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, good every buddy.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This is my little Hamilton astros w again Halla, Good
morning to the tzar.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good morning, Michael Berry. It's Sean Connery. But you had
a little radio show. Pity, I wash it and find it.
Good morning, Michael Berry. I'm all jaked up on Mountain dew.
Good morning, Michael Berry. Good morning, Michael Hello, Hello are
you there? Good morning you, Michael Berry. How you learned?
(00:52):
Did I read it to my money?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Most Texas Morning, Caring Texas, and we're happy talking about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Good morning, we're not wearing.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Good morning, Good morning, Texas.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Good morning week.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Mistrict.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Goddamn good morning. A young, just married couple arrived at
a hotel. They go to the reception and they explain
that they have eloped and they need a room to
celebrate their first night as husband and wife. The receptionist
(01:56):
asks would you like the bridle, and the bride says
that's okay. I'll just hold on to his ears till
I get the hang of it. Remote. How does a
gastro entrologist arrive at a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Why do Chinese restaurant workers apply for remote jobs so
they can walk from home.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
One dog says to another.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You know, ninety nine ninety nine point nine percent of
dogs cannot do math. I'm one of the ten percent
who can. Timmy Waltz is not doing well. The governor
of the state of Minnesota has announced that he will
(02:56):
not be running for reelection. After all the fraud has
been and it continues, and apparently there are rumors that
it gets far worse. So he announced, I just can't
run for Minnesota while I'm rooting out all the fraud,
which sounded a lot like OJ Simpson saying release me
(03:16):
so that I can go find the real killer. Well,
Timmy watsh has gone fully unhinged. He is now blaming
Donald Trump for January sixth, when the press asks him
questions about the massive fraud in Mogadishu, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I almost feel bad for the dude. Almost. He is
in a bad place.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You can sit in his eyes, if you watch the interviews,
you can see it in his eyes. It's disturbing. Actually,
the breakdown of this weirdo. Let's check in on his podcast.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Hello to the deepest spots of Minnesota. Oh. I don't
know if this is Nina. This could be the last
sting for my jazz hand. Who know it's great. But
what I do know is I've always loved the speediful state.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Don't cry for me, Mina the case, send some money,
our friend, don't cry for me, min as soul.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Republicans are jeful of thing.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
I want to say goodbye Minnesota, and I don't really
think it's goodbye.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I just want to say to be continued.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Don't cry on me.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Ot.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
If you flew over the holidays, you probably saw a
number of people being wheeled onto flights. My god, we
have a very disabled population. And the miracle that happened
after they got off the flight. Wall Street Journal says
they get wheeled on flights and miraculously.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Walk off praise jetway Jesus.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
Box news report revealing that some travelers are faking disabilities
to skip airport lines and then walk off the plane
once it lands. They're being called jetway Jesus. One flight
attendant telling the Wall Street Journal quote, many able body
passengers request wheelchairs for the vip entrance and escored down
(05:36):
the jetway that lets them skip the lines and gives
them first crack it overhead space. Once they realize at
the end of the flight they have to wait for
assistance to disambark.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The healing begins.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yes, you know, I don't know what it says about
our culture, but it certainly says something that everything that
is offered as a courtesy for a rare exception.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Gets abused by everybody else.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I don't know how long ago it was, but I
remember a time when you never saw you never saw
a service dog. And then overnight everybody needed a service dog.
And then we started into the will I'll bring my donkey, Okay,
I'll bring my rhinoceros, I'll bring my giraffe. It became
(06:31):
I want to bring I want to I want to
travel with my animal, So I'll just make it a
service dog. What started as guys who came back from
war shot to hell suffering deep PTSD, for whom a
dog gave them comfort a medical therapeutic device became oh,
(06:55):
it just like fife to come with me. And then
we struggle as a society to implement rules because everybody
is so afraid corporations. That is, employees have good sense,
So then you have the employee who's not allowed to
push back. The only answer to this is the Cloward
(07:17):
Pivens collapse the system. For one day, everybody goes to
the airport and everybody requests a wheelchair, every single person,
every single person.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And there's a complete collapse of the system. So what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So now the person who can tell this person disabled says,
they go, all right, you decide no more than one
out of one hundred can be disabled.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's the only answer.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's just there's another abuse that I bitch about and
nobody ever cares, and people think I'm crazy. For iah
Bush air is the worst airport I've ever seen of this.
They have these big carts and they scrambed coming through,
coming through to which I say, go around, go around,
(08:11):
And you see people on there and it's supposedly because
they're disabled.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
They're not. They're late for their flight. Know that you
just don't want to walk.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So for every two or three people that's on one
of those, you've got five hundred people that have to
be inconvenienced. Plus you're paying for somebody to drive these
people around. They can walk like the rest of us
show up on time. If you're in the video of
the dude playing too much. Mario Kart gets out on
his go kart on I forty five. I don't know
(08:41):
if I gotta figure, you don't do something like this
unless you want to film it and post it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So I'm guessing it's somebody he knows who He's.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Out in the middle of forty five in the old
fashioned go cart, you know, three inches off the ground
the middle, you know, cars going.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Along and there he goes euston chronicle rights.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's unclear when the video was taken, but it was
published on.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Instagram December twenty third.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Go kart sidings on Houston roadways are rare, but not
unheard of. ABC thirteen reported twenty seventeen a woman took
a video of a go cart near I ten. Richard Standeffer,
spokesman for the Texas Apartment of Public Safety in the
Houston area, said he hasn't seen go karts on the highways,
but has seen similar situations involving dirt bites brks that
(09:35):
are not street legal. Stanford said a driver operating a
go cart on a highway would likely face multiple class
c violations because the vehicle does not meet legal requirements
from roadway use. The vehicle does not even set up
high enough to be operated on the roadway, much less
have the appropriate lighting, registration, horn, and blinkers. There's a
(09:57):
laundry list of issues enforcement ofsters spotted a go cart
on the highway, they would likely initiate a standard traffic
stop to stop the go cart safely, he said. Standford
said law enforcement would issue a citation and the driver
would not be able to continue driving on the highway
in the go cart. Harris County DIA's office spokesman said
in an email that a driver could face fines of
(10:18):
up to two hundred and five hundred dollars if a
vehicle's registration is expired or a vehicle is unregistered. It's
similar to a speeding ticket, and the vehicle will be
impounded if it is unregistered, if there's no license plate.
The poor people who might hit, the poor people who
might hit this driver, that would ruin That would ruin
(10:39):
your life. It wouldn't be your fault, but that doesn't matter.
You'd still feel horrible. It's not the feeling horrible that
would ruin your life. Let's be very clear. This is
where we have allowed into our society a cancer, and
that is that whoever the idiot is on a go cart,
if he weaves into your lane or does something that
(11:00):
causes you to be the person accused in his death,
how does that play out? We've seen it a million times. Well,
the idiot on the go kart has a family full
of idiots, and that family full of idiots runs and
hires an attorney. It's not the attorney's fault that you
make this claim. You have to stand behind the claim.
So that idiot, their family has figured out that we
(11:25):
love a good story and we love a good victim,
and so that person becomes a victim.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
He couldn't afford a vehicle, and before you know.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It, he will not have been out joy riding weaving
through lanes of I forty five or I ten in
peak traffic. He will be a downtrodden soul who's trying
to make it on his way to a job. Interview.
Not likely, but I guess that made for a better story.
And before you know it, somebody will settle and the
family will get paid, and that idiot will give them
(11:53):
more money than he ever could have or would have
in his life. The problem is that we're not a
series society any longer. We are a TikTok society. You
can't go to dinner today without some woman and her
cuckhold boyfriend holding her purse, and the entire time she's there,
(12:14):
she's got her phone out as a mirror, and then
eventually she hands him the phone and he takes picture
of her, pictures of her throughout the thing, and maybe
they go outside and he takes pictures of her the
entire time. You think about that, I can't imagine in
my dad's day my mother doing that. Well, my mother
wouldn't do that because she didn't like to be photographed anyway.
But I can't imagine men of that generation being the
(12:38):
purse holder, photographer, driver for the next Kim Kardashian wannabe.
I just cannot imagine that. A career criminal with a
long rap. She'd arrested after leading Popo on a chase
along the East tex Freeway in a stolen military style
tractor trailer. Investigators say he rammed ten cars during the
chase and ultimately ended with a swat standoff the man
(13:00):
who owns the trucks as he woke up Monday morning
shocked to see his truck being used in a chase
that has gone viral. Can you imagine you wake up?
Speaker 10 (13:09):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Are your wife? Hey honey, that looks a lot like
your truck. It's not my truck? Was my my truck? Well,
that one.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Has four astro stickers down. Oh no, KPRCTV with the story.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
You're looking at just a few seconds of the wild
sixty five minute police chase through Houston and Harris County,
in which the driver of this heavy duty military truck
hit several other cars and tried to ram police officers
before finally being stopped by DPS officers who were able
to flatten his tires.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
We do have the suspect in custody. He's a fifty
three year old Hispanic mail the.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
Man driving a car Omar Moreno now charged with several
counts of aggravated assault and evading arrest. But we now
know that that military vehicle was actually stolen only hours
earlier from a very interesting man who had actually bought
that vehicle with a very noble purpose in mind, R
new Caguchi.
Speaker 12 (14:09):
How would he walked by everybody want this day?
Speaker 11 (14:11):
His name is Reuben Nero, but he's better known as
paper U, a gold record winning recording artist from Trinidad.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Put it in there, put it in.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
And he bought that military style truck several years ago
after the severe winter freeze of twenty twenty two left
thousands of Houstonians without electrical power. So that truck, you
were using it to haul all these generators the trailer
to help people are who lose power. Yes, he also
bought eight large diesel powered electric generators and was going
(14:42):
to use that military truck to deliver those electric generators
to people who may lose power in any future catastrophic storms.
Speaker 12 (14:50):
My mine was on how could I give help and
give people power they needed. I know I can't cover
the whole city, but I could.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Do my part.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Last Sunday night, Ruben left his truck parked right here
at a storage slot off of Postal Road. Monday morning, though,
he woke up to a video on TikTok and couldn't
believe what he was seeing.
Speaker 12 (15:10):
Looking at TikTok, I just saw a truck zooming by
with a police change with multiple police costs chasing it,
and I was like, I said, that's my truck.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
Ruben's been told by investigators his truck is now being
held in an impound lot and he will be going
to pick it up tomorrow. In the meantime, he plans
to keep on singing with all the joy he has
in his heart, and he plans to follow up this
case and follow what happens to the man he says,
tried to steal his hopeful mission.
Speaker 12 (15:41):
I'm going all the way through this whole case, you
know what I mean, because it robbed the people, robbed myself.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And and just robbed humanity to me.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I wonder where he's from. He's got a cool accent.
Do you ever notice if you listen to news reports
of a man on the street, nobody sounds like they've
lived here more than year? Do you ever notice that
nobody sounds like, Oh, you went to Beller High School
nineteen eighty five?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Ever ever.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Hs the four hour system from Michael Arry Show and
other leading companies.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I always imagine you realize there was a guy who
conceived the idea, I'm gonna get me an get me
a ice agent officer costume.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Oh that'd be cool. Yeah, you know, I'll uh, I'll
ask people for their ID.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Tell some women they they can either go to they
can either get deported or come home with me and
have sex. Can make the dudes give me money. That'd
be cool. I'd do you know what, I'm gonna do it.
I always say I'm gonna do stuff and I don't
follow through. This time, I'm going to do it. Make
(17:07):
my parents proud. And then he ordered something. I mean,
think of the layers. This isn't a decide to do
it in five minutes later you're asking for IDs, right.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And then you know, you get up.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You figure you probably take a shower before you go
do the ice agent thing. You comb your hair real good,
clip your nails, shave. Yeah, it's always a dude. Do
you ever notice that it's always a dude? And then
and then what you get in your car and you're like, okay,
this is the day, this is the day. I'm going
(17:44):
to do it. Here I go, watch me now hold
my beer. Here I go, I'm a ice agent. And
then you figure, first time he does it, if he
doesn't get caught the first time, he does it, one
hundred times before he's caught, because.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He gets better.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And the people you're arresting are detaining, they're not really
in a position.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
To tell you to stop.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Another fake ICE agent arrest, this time in Galveston. The
guy who confronted him tells ABC, I noticed his gear
and his outfit. It looked like it just came in
from TMU. It wasn't like what real cops wear. ABC
thirteen with the story.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
It looked like a late night traffic stop. To the
people behind the camera, immediately felt wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
What the hell do we just see if a cop?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Robert Harvey and Bruce Revman are self described community activists
who patrol Galveson County streets and regularly record police incidents.
Nearly two months ago that came upon what they thought
was one near Galveson Strand.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He was doing.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Everything a normal police officer does.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He had people's ID in their hand.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
He was shining his flashlight at these people in the face.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
However, Harvey says he quickly realized something wasn't right.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I noticed his gear in his outfit. It looked like
it just came in from TIMU. It wasn't like real cops.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Where Harvey says, there wasn't a police cruiser either. In
the video, Harvey tried to get information, what's your name
in Vagner or I don't have to get Harvey asked
to see a badge. Eventually, he says one was shown.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Did you see it?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Just hit me in the fight? Moments later, the man
took off in a blue vehicle. Harvey says they tracked
down officers around the corner.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
I felt like this guy needed to be snitched on.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That is very dangerous what he was doing.
Speaker 8 (19:29):
You know, we don't like bad cops, but somebody pretending
to be a bad cop is worse than.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
A bad cop.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Gbson police said the incident sparked an investigation. Days ago,
officers arrested Joshua Warner. Officers say witnesses told them Warner
pretended to be an Ice agent.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
Right now, Warner faces two counts of impersonating law enforcement,
but Gabison detectives believe there may.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Be more victims.
Speaker 13 (19:49):
That's why they put his information in photo out to
social media and asked anyone who may have been unlawfully
detained by Warner to contact police.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
After I shared the video, stories came in from everywhere.
People were email I probably got a hundred emails, a
hundred messages on messenger.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
People, Harvey says he encouraged to contact police. Like he
did after seeing this. You're shut in a flashlight an
right now. Now it's Warner behind bars where he's being
held on a half a million dollar bond.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Very happy that.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
They arrested him and got that dangerous guy off the
street before somebody got hurt.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Maybe he thinks it's kind of like a volunteer firefighter,
you know, volunteer firefighter. He's not a full time firefighter.
He's not a professional firefighter, but everybody respects and admires him.
Or maybe he thinks to himself, you know, we got
(20:45):
so many illegals. We don't have enough ice agents. I'm
tired of watching the news. I'm gonna do my part.
I'm just going to start figuring out who's here illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
And who can stay.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
That's going to be my that's going to be my
contribution to this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I'm going to Moreau must leaves up and get involved.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Michael Reagan, the eldest son of President Reagan, has passed
away at the age of eighty. He was adopted shortly
after his birth by Ronald Reagan and his den wife,
Jane Wyman. He turned out to be a very very
good talk radio host, a commentator, and an author, and
(21:39):
he defended his father's legacy. You may not remember, because
I think our brain is wired for the negative stuff,
But you may have thought that there were problems with
Michael Reagan, and in fact, quite the opposite. He was
the son who admired his father and worked very hard
(22:01):
to preserve his legacy. We had the pleasure of talking
to Michael Reagan back in twenty twenty three and the
story he told about his dad and how his dad
taught him about taxes one of my favorites.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
I learned a lot of lessons from my dad's I
was write writing that book, and I'm just reminded of them,
you know, when it comes to Father's Day. How I
learned about America. I learned about America saying the right
first see of the station wagon on a he' given Saturday,
right out to the ranch, and haven't jailed me with
songs of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the
Coast Guard, and learning about America and the greatness of
(22:35):
America eight years old writing out to the ranch and
just in awe of listening to the stories. I also
learned about the tax system in America writing out to
the ranch. Because I asked him for a larger allowance,
and I heard about the tax system in America, which
a ten year old doesn't care about. He just cares,
you gonna give me more, just.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Not give me the money.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
That's right. But he did make their problems. He said,
listen to a president elected. It gives me a tax break,
give you his larger allowance. And it was carried in
the game of a tax break. And he raised my
allowance from what a dollar a week to five dollars
a week.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So it's a rough legacy.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I don't think it was easy to be Ronald Reagan's son,
but somehow he was the only one who managed to
do so with grace and dignity.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Rest in peace, Michael Reagan.
Speaker 14 (23:28):
Michael Showy Revalie a million dollar record sale.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Just a couple of days ago was the twentieth anniversary
of Vince Young on fourth and five, taken an in
for the winning score in the best National championship game
I ever watched, and not just because the University of
Texas won it. What a game, What a game. The
only person in that pregame pregame crew that I recall
(23:59):
who picked the University of Texas was Lee Corso and
they thought he was crazy at the time. That USC
team is one of the best USC teams to ever
play college football. I'm not saying it was two thousand
and one Miami, but that team, I don't think they'd
been beaten in three years, three seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think they had won the.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
National championship two times before and that was number three.
Could be wrong on that, but I vaguely recall that
at the time. I just remember they didn't have a
week link, Reggie Bush in the background in the backfield,
Matt Lionert as a quarterback. I mean, they were solid, strong, fast, efficient,
(24:39):
and I was just proud of the University of Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I had friends who are Aggies through and through, they
bleed maroon, who had their saw them off taped up
so that it made it such that they were rooting
for the University of Texas.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I don't really care.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I know a lot of people like to act like
they liked their team and no other team is any good,
and that's part of their identity and the only interesting
thing about them, and that's fine. I root for teams
from the state of Texas when they go to the playoffs,
I just do. And if that makes me less sophisticated
or week or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Else, so be it. I wanted to see.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I was so proud of Texas Tech their best season
ever and to see them go as far as they did,
to see the season that they had, to see the
way they played ball, it was. There's a lot of
momentum in Lubbock right now, a lot of momentum in
that town and at that university, and obviously on the
(25:39):
sporting field. They played for the women's softball championship. I
watched it with Gary Peterson, who's one of their three
biggest donors, and boy, I never expected I'd get that
excited watching a team from Texas. But they paid this
girl a million dollars to come over and pitch, and
the only reason she didn't win the championship is I
think she'd pitched, you know, three out of five days
in a row, and she was just war slap out.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
But that was a fun team to watch. This Aggie
team was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I was disappointed that they didn't beat what has turned
out to be a very very good Miami team. I
didn't think they looked as good against A and M
but neither did an M.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I would have liked to seeing them advance.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
University of Houston had their best season in a few
beating LSU.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
You know our boy Charlie Hager of Captain Legendary Bandy.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know what he posted when I when I complimented
the Cougars, he said, oh, all the LSU players were
gone and it doesn't matter. I said, you're being a
capital L lower O capital s capital U lower R
a loser And I made that out of LSU. And
(26:45):
I don't know if anybody else ever done that before,
and I felt that was very, very clever. I was
quite proud of myself. You ever do that, Ramon, I
know you do. You post something and you're real proud
of it. You kind of sit back, no matter what
else is going on around owned you.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You kind of hit refresh.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
And I wonder if anybody else will think that was
clever too. Speaking of Great Longhorn Legends wide receiver Jordan
Shipley is in critical condition but stable, critical but stable
condition after an accident at his rest at his ranch
in Texas Hill Country in Burnett. His family says he
sustained third degree burns on twenty percent of his body,
(27:27):
saying a machine that he was operating caught fire. He
was able to get out of the machine, I'm not
sure what the machine is, and a worker on the
ranch drove him to a local hospital. He was flown
to Austin, probably Breckenridge, and is in critical but stable condition.
ESPN wrote, Shipley was a Longhorns great, starring for the
(27:48):
program as both a receiver and a kick returner from
six to nine. A two time All American, holds a
host of single season receiving records at Texas, including yards
fourteen eighty nine in two thousand and nine and receptions
one hundred and sixteen in nine. He's also the program's
career leader for receptions with two hundred and forty eight,
(28:09):
ranked second in career receiving yards with thirty one to
ninety one, trailing only Roy Williams. As a special teams player,
he returned thirty punts for three hundred and seventy five
yards for twelve and a half yard average and three touchdowns.
Returned nineteen kickoffs for four hundred and sixty eight yards
a twenty four point six yard average in one score.
That was back when he returned to kickoffs Shipley went
(28:31):
on to play in the NFL after being released in
the third round. After being selected in the third round
of the twenty ten draft by the Bengals, he had
fifty two receptions for six hundred yards and three touchdowns
in his rookie season and went on to play two
more years, splitting time between the Bengals, Bucks, and Jacksonville Jaguars,
before retiring in twenty fourteen. I'll tell you what, for
a guy that was selected in the third round, fifty
(28:53):
two receptions for six hundred yards a pretty good rookie season.
A lot of guys don't make any country their first season,
much less fifty two receptions in your rookie season as
a third rounder. He was fun to root for, and
let's be honest, it was also cool that he was white.
I would be dishonest if I didn't admit that it
(29:16):
was kind of cool that there was a white guy
that wasn't Steve Tasker and wasn't Mike Beebe, It wasn't
Steve Largent, he wasn't just a guy that ran really
smart routes and got an inch off the ground and
caught past his tuckdown like that on third and four
It was kind of cool that there was a white
dude with blazing fast speed, white lightning speed, and who
(29:40):
played the way he did. That was kind of cool.
Speaking on which I know that people hate arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I get it. I get it. But they claimed.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I watched it on TV that he was clocked at
twenty one point seven in that touchdown run when he
broke through the middle against Michigan, and that would be
point one percent. That would be point one mile an
hour faster than Sakwan Barkley's fastest run.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Say what you want to, dude, it looked like you
had it on. It looked like you had.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It sped up if you watched Did you watch the
game in real time? It looked like CGI or something.
When he broke and started running, it was like the
sea's parted and he looked like a gazelle.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Look.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I have been very disappointed in arch Manning. First of all,
I thought the hype was overblown.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I was right.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Secondly, I thought it was too much pressure to put
on a guy before he'd done anything.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I was right.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
A third I thought he was an accurate passer. I'm
still right. Would that run. I got an email from
a Walmart greet and he said, you're the first person
I've ever heard say anything nice about the Walmart greeter
program and how that was how you because I was
talking about how that's how you humanized a big corporate.
(31:04):
You got these big box stores that have no human
beings that you know, and they're in small towns. The
way they humanized it was that they had old folks
in the community that didn't have anything going on, and
you have them stand at the front and greet people.
And everyone loves to make jokes, but it's because you
liked it, because that was somebody's grandpa. And he said,
I appreciate you doing that. And I said, he said,
(31:25):
I can tell you stories about being a Walmart reader.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I said, good, you will. Who's coming up
