And with that Ramon has flipped the switch and the
phone lines are open seven one, three, nine, nine one thousand.
Open line Friday means you may call and discuss whatever
is on your mind. But I do hope we'll get
some folks who will say, you know what surprised me
(05:32):
about this campaign? You know the thing that sticks out
that people forget about. You know the thing that I
think is gonna move some voters and doesn't get talked about.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
My favorite parts of the week courtesy of the greatest
executive producer in all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi your weekend review.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
There's a little old lady out there route now there,
I say, probably quite a few who I just said,
fox Trot, Pat Boon, I said love letters in the sand,
And they're thinking, now.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
This is my kind of show.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
This right here, all that other stuff y'all carrying on
and all in, but this do more shows like this, Michael.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
But that chambourree happening right now, you see it. They're
on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because
in nineteen thirty nine, more than twenty thousand supporters of
a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for
a so called pro America routy.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened
in the mid nineteen thirties at Madison's Square Garden.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
And don't think that he doesn't know for one second
exactly what they're doing there.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
White nationalists, Nazi type rally.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They're trying to equate Trump expelling illegal aliens, murderers, hadophiles,
sex traffickers out of this country as he's just like Hillary.
There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle
of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
Rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well,
(07:27):
let me tell you something. The only garbage I see
floating out there.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
As his supporter in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump in a
garbage truck, up in a.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Garbage truck, and I have to begin by saying, two
hundred and fifty million Americans are not garbage. When there
appeared to be a stumble with the pile of garbage
Puerto Rico jet, the recovery was dramatic. She said, Hey,
do you know that at the Trump rallies, President Trump
is playing this audio of your show. They've even taken
(07:57):
over recently, Times Square in New York stag open borders,
deadly consequences, ordered crisis. Record high crossings are putting a
string up on cities across America. It is a full blowdivation.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Go back, go back, It's up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's inside my soul. The way n R does.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You say, let me.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Loaded this hand in which we live in make.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Crime. I'm just sitting here listening to my therey. Get
(09:09):
the sleepy.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Heads out of bed, get them fed, get them rested up,
get your stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
In the seven, one, three, nine, one thousand. Hold on.
We can't get to this point by kids.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
By kids.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
The fieldst month every week when this plays, it's sonic branding.
You probably figured this out. But I like to know
the behind the scenes of people's business. So I'm talking
to Angus Davis at Texas State Rentals. I want to
know who's renting a bulldozer? Is it Marvin E.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Meyer?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Is he making a killdozer? How do I know if
I'm leveling a building if they got a basement underneath,
because I don't want to get stuck. And then there
I am in the middle, and I was still trying
to tear up half a granby because I got access
to grind and built. It's the level. But I forgot
(10:07):
what I was gonna tell you. Oh, so I like
to know, you know what kind of people are renting
a back hole?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Is it Daniel Dean because he got a big project
and all the equipment he's got he needs one more?
Or is it like some dude? How often does some
dude show up or some woman a girl shows up
and says, in a thick country accent, what's the veggas
(10:37):
bulldozer you got? Does that happen?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Man?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'll tell you what. And I know this because of
the listener trips we've taken. But we got a couple
of lady listeners. We got Cheryl. What's Cheryl's name?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Name?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Though? Call Emily and ask Cheryl's last name. Emily runs
these trips from me and she remembers every detail. Cheryl,
we don't actually know her last name because her last
name was the name of her boat or something. Remember
Cheryl Matico or something. So Cheryl runs a h birds
(11:23):
predator bird sanctuary down in like, uh, where was ze
z tops house? What's that place down there at the
end of the water. Huh?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Not the great dad Gum, Come on, Ramon they got
a couple of restaurants. They got mcgilla Cuddies or whatever
down there. Connie goes that place all time. They got
the two restaurants that everybody loves. Gil Hooley's No, it's
it's at the It's a sand hill, you know. It's
the place like nobody knows it exists, which what makes
(11:56):
it perfect. But you cut off of forty five and
you go all the way over and Dusty Hill had
a house over there, San Leon, What made you think
of it? Yeah, that I gave you better clues. Well,
you're from that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I'm a Golden Triangle boy. I'm gonna eat So so
Cheryl runs call Emily and asked Caryl's last name. Cheryl
runs the Birds of Prey, not Birds of Prey, Predator
Bird Sanctuary. So she's got all these cool birds. And
(12:37):
Cheryl is a tough little thing. She's about five too.
But she would kill you, and I think she could
probably kill you in many different ways. And she wouldn't
do it on purpose. She just do it to defend herself,
an innocent person or one of them killer birds. Right.
If Cheryl came in there wanting a bulldozer. I'd say,
here's the keys man. How many days do I put
(12:58):
you down for the other one is Linda Hall that
lives out in maybe Lee County. Ramon what county is
Gettings in? So follow me here, I'm headed. I'm headed
northwest on two ninety Okay. So I've gone through Brentha,
(13:21):
I've gone through Burton, I've gone through two thirty seven,
cut off set hell over at Holmes. Kept going, there's Carmeen,
kept going, huh it is Lee County.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So I kept going. I go into Gettings, which has
added a bunch of new stuff. And then as I'm
going into Gettings, there is kind of the old city,
you know, the most charming part of Gettings, which is
you know where the little retail was. You know, it's
(13:53):
like an old town, but the highway goes through it.
You stopped right there. I think there's a bank on
the left. When you turn to the right, is that Lexington? Yeah,
I think it's Lexington. You go to from the right
right there, you know I'm talking about you turn to
the right right there. That might actually still be twenty one,
but I might be wrong. But Linda lives somewhere out there.
(14:16):
She sent me a picture of She's got craggy rocks
and outcroppings of limestone that you would think you were
in Fredericksburg. Like they're twenty feet high and they're kind
of they're kind of not mountainous. But I didn't know
(14:37):
you had that kind of topography in that area. But
Linda will send me pictures of her tractors and stuff
like that. Linda might have a kill dozer out there
just in case Gettings pisses her off. She could and
think about Gettings. Unlike Granby, you could if you had
a head of steam. In that scene Marv's kill dozer
(14:58):
it started even if he hadn't gotten hooked on that track,
that if there hadn't been a basement below that building,
I think he I don't think he had a lot
left because that thing was spewing smoke. Because he had it,
he had it so covered up. I think it couldn't
get the heat out right. But if Linda was to
get mad and she was to pick one side or
(15:19):
the other of two ninety, she could start, uh, like
at that peanut. You know, there's that peanut operation there.
I forget what it's called big peanut, not manufacturer. What
do you call that a big peanut? What do you
call a place that brings in the peanuts and cleans
him up? Huh yeah, a peanut plant. Yeah, okay, yeah.
If she was to start on that side and start
(15:41):
in on the peanut plant, she could start moving back
toward Houston. She could take out the bank, She could
take out the old rebus which has moved across the street,
which is now something else. She could she could plow
all the way through there, all the way through to
the walmart, and keep going all the way down to
the Super eight before they got her. See, Marv's problem
(16:04):
is he did a lot of driving, and when he
wasn't doing any damage, right, and then he like he
moving around, He goes runs out old Ladies House, and
then he goes to city Hall. He waited till the
kids left in fairness, and then when he comes back
up and makes that curve and they put that big uh,
that big I don't know what that was. It's a
long piece of equipment. They put that in front of him.
(16:27):
He just laughed. He just blew that thing out of
the way. But that's what pinned him in there at
the end. If y'all haven't seen the movie tread, watch
that this weekend and it will explain a lot of
my psyche. The guy's name was Marv Niemeyer, and you
can just look up Killdozer and Granby Colorado. But you
(16:47):
know what I like to think about in a situation
like that, I like to think that the next town over,
when they went to screw a guy over and said,
let's not give him his septics so we can get
his property, they said, well, woo woo hoo, hook new New.
I don't want you know, when people lose their mind
like that, in a justified rational manner, it's not always
(17:08):
all bad, because I want people to think about, you
know what, before you screw the next guy over, I
want you to think, is this the one gonna snap?
Maybe I ought to do the right thing this time.
Maybe this time I won't be a self dealing politician,
I won't be an awful human being. Maybe this time
(17:29):
I'll honor the warranty, you know, Maybe this time i'll
honor the Limon law. Maybe this time I'll do the
right thing. How about that Maruka? Yeah, but what did
we call her? Cheryl Dives. Oh, I know what it was,
Cheryl Dives. I thought her name was Cheryl Dives because
that was like her Twitter handle, because she also does dive.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
All of that.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
By way of saying, if Cheryl or Linda comes in
and I owned Texas State Rentals and Angus was my
co owner, and he say, look at this girl, come
up here, I'd say let her them. Two girls right there,
they can flat out run a bulldozer. I guarantee you.
I guarantee you they better than I could. Part of
(18:14):
my admiration from Marv is just how much time it
took to build a darn All right, your call's coming up.
I will die for this country. I will die for
this class to Michael Berry show, he's the big honor
to be living in the United States. All right, to
(18:38):
the phone lines we go. Today is the last day
of early voting. I want to be very clear, We're
not almost done. That's not the way this thing works.
The election is backloaded. So while I am delighted with
the early vote numbers, if you were to ask me
if we're winning in Harris County right now, I would
(18:59):
say probably not. There are people who will tell you
that they know, but you don't know precisely, because I
do believe some Democrats are going to vote Republican. Unfortunately.
I think there are some Mitt Romney, Dick Cheney Republicans
who will vote Democrat, they will vote against Donald Trump.
But I think it's much more likely that Democrats will
(19:22):
vote Republican, especially you're going to get more black Democrats
traditionally Democrat voters who are going to vote Republican. We
just don't know when people go in that. We know
what they've done in the past. We know if they
voted in the last We know if they voted in
the primary in the Republican primary this year, we know
if they voted in past primaries. We know if they
voted in city elections. So we have some bases upon
(19:45):
which to make educated guesses, but we don't know precisely
when they get in there what they do. I just don't.
And the Democrats have been running a stealth campaign that
tells women, Hey, go in there and vote for Kamala
girl power. You don't have to tell your husband. They've
(20:08):
spent a lot of money on that, which is interesting
because you can have privacy from a man in the
ballot box ladies, say the Democrats. But your daughter can't
have privacy from a man in the locker room, and
your daughter has to compete against men on the playing
(20:31):
field that are stronger, bigger, that's a fact. But you
you can have privacy in the ballot box. And by
the way, if we Democrats burn this whole place down,
don't worry. You can still get an abortion on every corner.
And that have you believe that women are dying because
(20:53):
they weren't able to get an abortion when they just
decided they wanted one eight months into their pregnancy. They
don't tell you how many women die from a botched
abortion gone wrong that happens too. Is that the single
most important thing to voters? No, it's not. The border is.
The economy is, and that's what people care about because
(21:15):
that's what's on your doorstep. Seven one three, nine, nine,
nine one thousand. Let's go through these calls. My fault
talking too much, Jennifer, you're up, sweetheart.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Go ahead, Hi, good morning. I called a couple of
weeks ago to brag on my grandpa, and today I
wanted to call and brag on my son. Recently, he's
done three really amazing things. His name is Jace. He
is a second grader. The first thing, I got a
call from the principal's office, which is a little alarming,
(21:45):
but I found out he got sent to the principal
for good behavior. He was the only kid to stay
on task according to his teacher. The second thing is
he started studying for a spelling bee, and out of
everyone in the second grade, he was one of the
top eight. And then I found out today that is
he reading on the third no no, no, uh. Not
(22:10):
only is he reading on a third grade rening level
he's in second grade, but that he is improved by
two grades, and he will be receiving a bicycle because
he signed up. If you can not two grades, but
two levels, if you can increase your ring level by
two levels, you get a bike. And so he's done
all that just by October. Yep, a bike. But the
(22:35):
most amazing thing is I don't know he's doing all
this while me and his daddy are going to a
real difficult separation. So he's moved, he started a new school,
we're living with family now, and throughout everything that's going
chaotic and his life, he is just blow And I
(23:00):
could not be more proud.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Ramon turned the phones off. Call of the week. There's
no way we can top that call. There's it's impossible
that we can have a better call than that. That's it.
I'll find something else to do. What school, What did
he do to get sent to the principal principal's office
for good behavior? What was the thing that that brought
to their attention?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
They just said he was the only kid all day
to stay on task. Whatever day. I guess it was
a real rough day for everyone, and he was the
only wine in class. So it's I live in Texas City.
It used to be called north Side and they went
and changed the name when I moved back, So now
it's called Guahardo Elementary.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
How do you spell that?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Lord, she.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Say it again? You would see say it again?
Speaker 9 (23:51):
Well, glhardo, girhardo, grhardo. I'm not gonna lie. When I
first fout out the name, we started calling it Guadalajara.
We're making fun of it. But I actually went to
that elementary school, but it was called north Side when
I was a kid. And the reason why I too,
I struggled to spell it is I'm extremely dyslexic. And
(24:12):
that's another reason I'm so proud of my son because
you're extremely already spelling words, proud of him because you
already expelled.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Extremely what.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Proud?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Very very?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
No, No, you have a condition, you said, Oh, I'm
dick flexic very She says dyslexic in a dyslexic manner.
That's very perfect. I love that she even transposes the
letters in dyslexic to make it funny. I like you
a lot, Jennifer. Let me ask you. He's in Jace
(24:50):
is in second grade? Yes, how does one spell.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
Jace j a ce like it should?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
He's still I don't know what that means. I never
heard of such a name.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
You can't add a y in there.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's just are they naming kids Jason? Now?
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Is that happening?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
I mean, what's the principal's.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Name that he went to see? What's the principal's name
that he went to see?
Speaker 9 (25:19):
Miss Patterson?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Miss Patterson? She a white woman or black woman?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
She's a white woman.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
What's her first name? Ramote noser phut me on the spot, Ramots,
I'm going to call that elementary. I love that they're
calling kids to the principal's office for doing something good.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
That.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Wow, that makes my day. Welcome to the lifestyles of
the not so rich and famous are as. I call
it the Michael.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Barry Joe.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Small world. My golden train is Ramone's Santa Fe, Texas
City League City, that whole region. So when she said
miss Patterson, Ramone said, that's Wendy Patterson. But we're already
going to break. So we called Mama Martha his did
she work at the school? How she know her?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Then?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh, she used to work, That's what I mean. What
did she do at the school? So Mama Martha was
a teacher's assistant. Of course she was at that at
that elementary, at a different elementary. What what elementary was
she at? I bet you there's somebody out there that's
going to go, oh my god. I just realized missus
Roebles would be Ramone's mom. Oh my god. Why did
(26:45):
I never think of that? It's Guhardo Elementary. Do you
know who the Guihardo is? No, it's a restaurant you
check ass huh Manuel Gohardo Junior.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
How do you know that?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
It's so weird for me when you know things like
I always think you're just joking. So anyway, we got Mama.
Martha is getting a producer credit on this segment because
she is calling Miss Wendy Patterson to tell her we'd
like to have her on the air. I have to
tell you, I'm blown away when you start sending kids
(27:28):
to the elementary I mean, to the principal for doing
a good thing. That tells me something about that teacher,
That tells me something about that principle, that tells me
something about that culture. You did not get into teaching
to scold kids. You did not get into teaching to
(27:52):
belittle kids. You did not get into teaching and education
for the negative aspects. The negative aspects are a burden
that you must bear. You got into teaching to uplift,
to motivate, to inspire these children to soar. And the
(28:14):
fact that somebody hasn't lost sight of that in the
middle of it all because you ever go to your kids' school.
I'll tell you what my experience is when my kids
were little in elementary school. You go to your kids school,
like you know, bring your parent for donut day or
bring your parent for lunch. My wife and I would
scould daddle off that campus after thirty minutes of being
(28:38):
there and go whoo, I'm going to go back to
a place of sanity and calm, like the office. That's mayhem.
Those kids, they're all sweaty and stinky and boogery and dirty.
They got they got dirt everywhere, and they got that smell.
(28:59):
Little kids have that smell like you know how dogs
when they come in, they got that smell. Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They're precious. I love the kids, and I love to
go to my kids' school when they were in elementary,
loved it, loved it, loved it. But I don't want
to stay there all day. I got mad respect for
teachers and administrators that do their job well. But when
you are so focused on the reason you got into
doing that in the first place, that in the middle
(29:27):
of Tommy pulling Susie's hair, and Billy putting his finger
up his buttthole so he can sniff it again, and
Sammy taking a nap because poor kid, his parents are
getting divorced so he's having to go back to his
parents are fighting all night. I mean, that's rough. And
(29:47):
in the middle of that you go, but wait a minute.
Instead of letting the lowest common denominator drag me down,
Jace you did, we get it you you stayed on
task all day. Come here, you're going down the principal's
office to get some love from Ms Patterson. Man, what
(30:08):
if everybody, that's my challenge to you right now, including
you Ramon, even Chad who stays on task, Just take
a moment right now and stop and think about what
you do for a living and why you got into that.
And you know what, it might just be because they
(30:29):
were hiring it the plant. Nothing wrong with that, okay.
In that case, focus on something that you were once
idealistic about. Why did y'all so desperately want to have
kids because you wanted to raise a child, because you
want to inspire somebody, because you wanted to love them.
(30:51):
And we get so busy making the lunch and doing
the homework and running back and forth to practice and
activities and doctor visits and everything else, that we forget
why we did that in the first place. Right, Just
take a moment center yourself and say, you know what,
you're right? Why did you get married in the first
(31:14):
place so you'd have somebody to bitch? Yet they didn't
take the trash out, no, so you'd have somebody you
could complain they snore so loud. They don't snore on purpose. Please,
you think they're proud of that? I got it, you
didn't sleep well. You think they got into snoring because
they had nothing better to do. Did you get married
(31:36):
so you could tell a woman that she needs to
lose some weight and every time she tries to enjoy
a little bluebell ice cream, you'd have somebody to go Huh?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
I wanted to value.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Is that why you got married? Really? Did you get
married so you'd have somebody you could nag into mowing
the grass when they're trying to watch the damn game?
That doesn't come from a dark plass. I don't know
the grass. I just see my friends have to go
through that. Did you get married so you'd have a
man that you could tell doesn't make enough money? Did
(32:09):
you get married, fellas, so you'd have somebody that you
could bitch doesn't clean the house as well as you like,
or doesn't cook as well as your mind? Is that
why you got married? Really? You got married to have
somebody to smother with love? You got married because in
(32:30):
a world full of hate and vengeance and jealousy and me,
you got married to have somebody that would know they
are loved. That's why you got married, and you want
to be reminded of that. I get emails every day
from people who've lost their spouse and I did give
(32:50):
anything to have them back. So that's your challenge today.
You can take an hour off of the anxiety over
Tuesday's election. It won't kill you. You could take an
hour off and call your husband or your wife and
tell them how much you love them, and you know
you remember how much you love them, or your kid.
(33:13):
We're gonna get miss Patterson on the love on her

remembered why they got into education? Hey, Quinn, Andrew, Jennifer, Shawn, Jeremy,
I'm sorry you all have been waiting a long time.
I'll get you in just a moment. Please hang out, please,

And with that Ramon has flipped the switch and the
phone lines are open seven one, three, nine, nine one thousand.
Open line Friday means you may call and discuss whatever
is on your mind. But I do hope we'll get
some folks who will say, you know what surprised me
(05:32):
about this campaign? You know the thing that sticks out
that people forget about. You know the thing that I
think is gonna move some voters and doesn't get talked about.
You know the thing that really affected me that other
people may not have noticed. Whatever that is your assessment.
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. You can
of course always email me through the website Michael Eryshow
(05:54):
dot com seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
and to get us started, as we all ways do.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
My favorite parts of the week courtesy of the greatest
executive producer in all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi your weekend review.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
There's a little old lady out there route now there,
I say, probably quite a few who I just said,
fox Trot, Pat Boon, I said love letters in the sand,
And they're thinking, now.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
This is my kind of show.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
This right here, all that other stuff y'all carrying on
and all in, but this do more shows like this, Michael.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
But that chambourree happening right now, you see it. They're
on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because
in nineteen thirty nine, more than twenty thousand supporters of
a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for
a so called pro America routy.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened
in the mid nineteen thirties at Madison's Square Garden.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
And don't think that he doesn't know for one second
exactly what they're doing there.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
White nationalists, Nazi type rally.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They're trying to equate Trump expelling illegal aliens, murderers, hadophiles,
sex traffickers out of this country as he's just like Hillary.
There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle
of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
Rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well,
(07:27):
let me tell you something. The only garbage I see
floating out there.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
As his supporter in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump in a
garbage truck, up in a.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Garbage truck, and I have to begin by saying, two
hundred and fifty million Americans are not garbage. When there
appeared to be a stumble with the pile of garbage
Puerto Rico jet, the recovery was dramatic. She said, Hey,
do you know that at the Trump rallies, President Trump
is playing this audio of your show. They've even taken
(07:57):
over recently, Times Square in New York stag open borders,
deadly consequences, ordered crisis. Record high crossings are putting a
string up on cities across America. It is a full blowdivation.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Go back, go back, It's up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's inside my soul. The way n R does.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You say, let me.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Loaded this hand in which we live in make.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Crime. I'm just sitting here listening to my therey. Get
(09:09):
the sleepy.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Heads out of bed, get them fed, get them rested up,
get your stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
In the seven, one, three, nine, one thousand. Hold on.
We can't get to this point by kids.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
By kids.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
The fieldst month every week when this plays, it's sonic branding.
You probably figured this out. But I like to know
the behind the scenes of people's business. So I'm talking
to Angus Davis at Texas State Rentals. I want to
know who's renting a bulldozer? Is it Marvin E.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Meyer?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Is he making a killdozer? How do I know if
I'm leveling a building if they got a basement underneath,
because I don't want to get stuck. And then there
I am in the middle, and I was still trying
to tear up half a granby because I got access
to grind and built. It's the level. But I forgot
(10:07):
what I was gonna tell you. Oh, so I like
to know, you know what kind of people are renting
a back hole?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Is it Daniel Dean because he got a big project
and all the equipment he's got he needs one more?
Or is it like some dude? How often does some
dude show up or some woman a girl shows up
and says, in a thick country accent, what's the veggas
(10:37):
bulldozer you got? Does that happen?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Man?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'll tell you what. And I know this because of
the listener trips we've taken. But we got a couple
of lady listeners. We got Cheryl. What's Cheryl's name?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Name?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Though? Call Emily and ask Cheryl's last name. Emily runs
these trips from me and she remembers every detail. Cheryl,
we don't actually know her last name because her last
name was the name of her boat or something. Remember
Cheryl Matico or something. So Cheryl runs a h birds
(11:23):
predator bird sanctuary down in like, uh, where was ze
z tops house? What's that place down there at the
end of the water. Huh?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Not the great dad Gum, Come on, Ramon they got
a couple of restaurants. They got mcgilla Cuddies or whatever
down there. Connie goes that place all time. They got
the two restaurants that everybody loves. Gil Hooley's No, it's
it's at the It's a sand hill, you know. It's
the place like nobody knows it exists, which what makes
(11:56):
it perfect. But you cut off of forty five and
you go all the way over and Dusty Hill had
a house over there, San Leon, What made you think
of it? Yeah, that I gave you better clues. Well,
you're from that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I'm a Golden Triangle boy. I'm gonna eat So so
Cheryl runs call Emily and asked Caryl's last name. Cheryl
runs the Birds of Prey, not Birds of Prey, Predator
Bird Sanctuary. So she's got all these cool birds. And
(12:37):
Cheryl is a tough little thing. She's about five too.
But she would kill you, and I think she could
probably kill you in many different ways. And she wouldn't
do it on purpose. She just do it to defend herself,
an innocent person or one of them killer birds. Right.
If Cheryl came in there wanting a bulldozer. I'd say,
here's the keys man. How many days do I put
(12:58):
you down for the other one is Linda Hall that
lives out in maybe Lee County. Ramon what county is
Gettings in? So follow me here, I'm headed. I'm headed
northwest on two ninety Okay. So I've gone through Brentha,
(13:21):
I've gone through Burton, I've gone through two thirty seven,
cut off set hell over at Holmes. Kept going, there's Carmeen,
kept going, huh it is Lee County.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So I kept going. I go into Gettings, which has
added a bunch of new stuff. And then as I'm
going into Gettings, there is kind of the old city,
you know, the most charming part of Gettings, which is
you know where the little retail was. You know, it's
(13:53):
like an old town, but the highway goes through it.
You stopped right there. I think there's a bank on
the left. When you turn to the right, is that Lexington? Yeah,
I think it's Lexington. You go to from the right
right there, you know I'm talking about you turn to
the right right there. That might actually still be twenty one,
but I might be wrong. But Linda lives somewhere out there.
(14:16):
She sent me a picture of She's got craggy rocks
and outcroppings of limestone that you would think you were
in Fredericksburg. Like they're twenty feet high and they're kind
of they're kind of not mountainous. But I didn't know
(14:37):
you had that kind of topography in that area. But
Linda will send me pictures of her tractors and stuff
like that. Linda might have a kill dozer out there
just in case Gettings pisses her off. She could and
think about Gettings. Unlike Granby, you could if you had
a head of steam. In that scene Marv's kill dozer
(14:58):
it started even if he hadn't gotten hooked on that track,
that if there hadn't been a basement below that building,
I think he I don't think he had a lot
left because that thing was spewing smoke. Because he had it,
he had it so covered up. I think it couldn't
get the heat out right. But if Linda was to
get mad and she was to pick one side or
(15:19):
the other of two ninety, she could start, uh, like
at that peanut. You know, there's that peanut operation there.
I forget what it's called big peanut, not manufacturer. What
do you call that a big peanut? What do you
call a place that brings in the peanuts and cleans
him up? Huh yeah, a peanut plant. Yeah, okay, yeah.
If she was to start on that side and start
(15:41):
in on the peanut plant, she could start moving back
toward Houston. She could take out the bank, She could
take out the old rebus which has moved across the street,
which is now something else. She could she could plow
all the way through there, all the way through to
the walmart, and keep going all the way down to
the Super eight before they got her. See, Marv's problem
(16:04):
is he did a lot of driving, and when he
wasn't doing any damage, right, and then he like he
moving around, He goes runs out old Ladies House, and
then he goes to city Hall. He waited till the
kids left in fairness, and then when he comes back
up and makes that curve and they put that big uh,
that big I don't know what that was. It's a
long piece of equipment. They put that in front of him.
(16:27):
He just laughed. He just blew that thing out of
the way. But that's what pinned him in there at
the end. If y'all haven't seen the movie tread, watch
that this weekend and it will explain a lot of
my psyche. The guy's name was Marv Niemeyer, and you
can just look up Killdozer and Granby Colorado. But you
(16:47):
know what I like to think about in a situation
like that, I like to think that the next town over,
when they went to screw a guy over and said,
let's not give him his septics so we can get
his property, they said, well, woo woo hoo, hook new New.
I don't want you know, when people lose their mind
like that, in a justified rational manner, it's not always
(17:08):
all bad, because I want people to think about, you
know what, before you screw the next guy over, I
want you to think, is this the one gonna snap?
Maybe I ought to do the right thing this time.
Maybe this time I won't be a self dealing politician,
I won't be an awful human being. Maybe this time
(17:29):
I'll honor the warranty, you know, Maybe this time i'll
honor the Limon law. Maybe this time I'll do the
right thing. How about that Maruka? Yeah, but what did
we call her? Cheryl Dives. Oh, I know what it was,
Cheryl Dives. I thought her name was Cheryl Dives because
that was like her Twitter handle, because she also does dive.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
All of that.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
By way of saying, if Cheryl or Linda comes in
and I owned Texas State Rentals and Angus was my
co owner, and he say, look at this girl, come
up here, I'd say let her them. Two girls right there,
they can flat out run a bulldozer. I guarantee you.
I guarantee you they better than I could. Part of
(18:14):
my admiration from Marv is just how much time it
took to build a darn All right, your call's coming up.
I will die for this country. I will die for
this class to Michael Berry show, he's the big honor
to be living in the United States. All right, to
(18:38):
the phone lines we go. Today is the last day
of early voting. I want to be very clear, We're
not almost done. That's not the way this thing works.
The election is backloaded. So while I am delighted with
the early vote numbers, if you were to ask me
if we're winning in Harris County right now, I would
(18:59):
say probably not. There are people who will tell you
that they know, but you don't know precisely, because I
do believe some Democrats are going to vote Republican. Unfortunately.
I think there are some Mitt Romney, Dick Cheney Republicans
who will vote Democrat, they will vote against Donald Trump.
But I think it's much more likely that Democrats will
(19:22):
vote Republican, especially you're going to get more black Democrats
traditionally Democrat voters who are going to vote Republican. We
just don't know when people go in that. We know
what they've done in the past. We know if they
voted in the last We know if they voted in
the primary in the Republican primary this year, we know
if they voted in past primaries. We know if they
voted in city elections. So we have some bases upon
(19:45):
which to make educated guesses, but we don't know precisely
when they get in there what they do. I just don't.
And the Democrats have been running a stealth campaign that
tells women, Hey, go in there and vote for Kamala
girl power. You don't have to tell your husband. They've
(20:08):
spent a lot of money on that, which is interesting
because you can have privacy from a man in the
ballot box ladies, say the Democrats. But your daughter can't
have privacy from a man in the locker room, and
your daughter has to compete against men on the playing
(20:31):
field that are stronger, bigger, that's a fact. But you
you can have privacy in the ballot box. And by
the way, if we Democrats burn this whole place down,
don't worry. You can still get an abortion on every corner.
And that have you believe that women are dying because
(20:53):
they weren't able to get an abortion when they just
decided they wanted one eight months into their pregnancy. They
don't tell you how many women die from a botched
abortion gone wrong that happens too. Is that the single
most important thing to voters? No, it's not. The border is.
The economy is, and that's what people care about because
(21:15):
that's what's on your doorstep. Seven one three, nine, nine,
nine one thousand. Let's go through these calls. My fault
talking too much, Jennifer, you're up, sweetheart.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Go ahead, Hi, good morning. I called a couple of
weeks ago to brag on my grandpa, and today I
wanted to call and brag on my son. Recently, he's
done three really amazing things. His name is Jace. He
is a second grader. The first thing, I got a
call from the principal's office, which is a little alarming,
(21:45):
but I found out he got sent to the principal
for good behavior. He was the only kid to stay
on task according to his teacher. The second thing is
he started studying for a spelling bee, and out of
everyone in the second grade, he was one of the
top eight. And then I found out today that is
he reading on the third no no, no, uh. Not
(22:10):
only is he reading on a third grade rening level
he's in second grade, but that he is improved by
two grades, and he will be receiving a bicycle because
he signed up. If you can not two grades, but
two levels, if you can increase your ring level by
two levels, you get a bike. And so he's done
all that just by October. Yep, a bike. But the
(22:35):
most amazing thing is I don't know he's doing all
this while me and his daddy are going to a
real difficult separation. So he's moved, he started a new school,
we're living with family now, and throughout everything that's going
chaotic and his life, he is just blow And I
(23:00):
could not be more proud.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Ramon turned the phones off. Call of the week. There's
no way we can top that call. There's it's impossible
that we can have a better call than that. That's it.
I'll find something else to do. What school, What did
he do to get sent to the principal principal's office
for good behavior? What was the thing that that brought
to their attention?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
They just said he was the only kid all day
to stay on task. Whatever day. I guess it was
a real rough day for everyone, and he was the
only wine in class. So it's I live in Texas City.
It used to be called north Side and they went
and changed the name when I moved back, So now
it's called Guahardo Elementary.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
How do you spell that?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Lord, she.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Say it again? You would see say it again?
Speaker 9 (23:51):
Well, glhardo, girhardo, grhardo. I'm not gonna lie. When I
first fout out the name, we started calling it Guadalajara.
We're making fun of it. But I actually went to
that elementary school, but it was called north Side when
I was a kid. And the reason why I too,
I struggled to spell it is I'm extremely dyslexic. And
(24:12):
that's another reason I'm so proud of my son because
you're extremely already spelling words, proud of him because you
already expelled.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Extremely what.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Proud?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Very very?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
No, No, you have a condition, you said, Oh, I'm
dick flexic very She says dyslexic in a dyslexic manner.
That's very perfect. I love that she even transposes the
letters in dyslexic to make it funny. I like you
a lot, Jennifer. Let me ask you. He's in Jace
(24:50):
is in second grade? Yes, how does one spell.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
Jace j a ce like it should?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
He's still I don't know what that means. I never
heard of such a name.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
You can't add a y in there.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's just are they naming kids Jason? Now?
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Is that happening?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
I mean, what's the principal's.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Name that he went to see? What's the principal's name
that he went to see?
Speaker 9 (25:19):
Miss Patterson?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Miss Patterson? She a white woman or black woman?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
She's a white woman.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
What's her first name? Ramote noser phut me on the spot, Ramots,
I'm going to call that elementary. I love that they're
calling kids to the principal's office for doing something good.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
That.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Wow, that makes my day. Welcome to the lifestyles of
the not so rich and famous are as. I call
it the Michael.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
Barry Joe.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Small world. My golden train is Ramone's Santa Fe, Texas
City League City, that whole region. So when she said
miss Patterson, Ramone said, that's Wendy Patterson. But we're already
going to break. So we called Mama Martha his did
she work at the school? How she know her?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Then?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh, she used to work, That's what I mean. What
did she do at the school? So Mama Martha was
a teacher's assistant. Of course she was at that at
that elementary, at a different elementary. What what elementary was
she at? I bet you there's somebody out there that's
going to go, oh my god. I just realized missus
Roebles would be Ramone's mom. Oh my god. Why did
(26:45):
I never think of that? It's Guhardo Elementary. Do you
know who the Guihardo is? No, it's a restaurant you
check ass huh Manuel Gohardo Junior.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
How do you know that?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
It's so weird for me when you know things like
I always think you're just joking. So anyway, we got Mama.
Martha is getting a producer credit on this segment because
she is calling Miss Wendy Patterson to tell her we'd
like to have her on the air. I have to
tell you, I'm blown away when you start sending kids
(27:28):
to the elementary I mean, to the principal for doing
a good thing. That tells me something about that teacher,
That tells me something about that principle, that tells me
something about that culture. You did not get into teaching
to scold kids. You did not get into teaching to
(27:52):
belittle kids. You did not get into teaching and education
for the negative aspects. The negative aspects are a burden
that you must bear. You got into teaching to uplift,
to motivate, to inspire these children to soar. And the
(28:14):
fact that somebody hasn't lost sight of that in the
middle of it all because you ever go to your kids' school.
I'll tell you what my experience is when my kids
were little in elementary school. You go to your kids school,
like you know, bring your parent for donut day or
bring your parent for lunch. My wife and I would
scould daddle off that campus after thirty minutes of being
(28:38):
there and go whoo, I'm going to go back to
a place of sanity and calm, like the office. That's mayhem.
Those kids, they're all sweaty and stinky and boogery and dirty.
They got they got dirt everywhere, and they got that smell.
(28:59):
Little kids have that smell like you know how dogs
when they come in, they got that smell. Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
They're precious. I love the kids, and I love to
go to my kids' school when they were in elementary,
loved it, loved it, loved it. But I don't want
to stay there all day. I got mad respect for
teachers and administrators that do their job well. But when
you are so focused on the reason you got into
doing that in the first place, that in the middle
(29:27):
of Tommy pulling Susie's hair, and Billy putting his finger
up his buttthole so he can sniff it again, and
Sammy taking a nap because poor kid, his parents are
getting divorced so he's having to go back to his
parents are fighting all night. I mean, that's rough. And
(29:47):
in the middle of that you go, but wait a minute.
Instead of letting the lowest common denominator drag me down,
Jace you did, we get it you you stayed on
task all day. Come here, you're going down the principal's
office to get some love from Ms Patterson. Man, what
(30:08):
if everybody, that's my challenge to you right now, including
you Ramon, even Chad who stays on task, Just take
a moment right now and stop and think about what
you do for a living and why you got into that.
And you know what, it might just be because they
(30:29):
were hiring it the plant. Nothing wrong with that, okay.
In that case, focus on something that you were once
idealistic about. Why did y'all so desperately want to have
kids because you wanted to raise a child, because you
want to inspire somebody, because you wanted to love them.
(30:51):
And we get so busy making the lunch and doing
the homework and running back and forth to practice and
activities and doctor visits and everything else, that we forget
why we did that in the first place. Right, Just
take a moment center yourself and say, you know what,
you're right? Why did you get married in the first
(31:14):
place so you'd have somebody to bitch? Yet they didn't
take the trash out, no, so you'd have somebody you
could complain they snore so loud. They don't snore on purpose. Please,
you think they're proud of that? I got it, you
didn't sleep well. You think they got into snoring because
they had nothing better to do. Did you get married
(31:36):
so you could tell a woman that she needs to
lose some weight and every time she tries to enjoy
a little bluebell ice cream, you'd have somebody to go Huh?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
I wanted to value.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Is that why you got married? Really? Did you get
married so you'd have somebody you could nag into mowing
the grass when they're trying to watch the damn game?
That doesn't come from a dark plass. I don't know
the grass. I just see my friends have to go
through that. Did you get married so you'd have a
man that you could tell doesn't make enough money? Did
(32:09):
you get married, fellas, so you'd have somebody that you
could bitch doesn't clean the house as well as you like,
or doesn't cook as well as your mind? Is that
why you got married? Really? You got married to have
somebody to smother with love? You got married because in
(32:30):
a world full of hate and vengeance and jealousy and me,
you got married to have somebody that would know they
are loved. That's why you got married, and you want
to be reminded of that. I get emails every day
from people who've lost their spouse and I did give
(32:50):
anything to have them back. So that's your challenge today.
You can take an hour off of the anxiety over
Tuesday's election. It won't kill you. You could take an
