And to get us started, phone lines are open seven
one three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three
nine nine one thousand and to get us started as
we always do, courtesy the greatest executive producer in all
the land, Chatticoni Nakanishi, you're a week in review. I
don't like putting anything in between two pieces of bread

(05:46):
that is not a.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Regular meat, like a sandwich.

Speaker 8 (05:49):
My wife eats cucumber sandwiches with ham and cheese and
I'm not for that, and she says, well, you say that,
but I put butter on that. I don't want a
tomato sandwich. I don't want marshmallow, and.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
No, I don't do that.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Another Texas Republican is challenging incumbent Senator John Cornyn Wesley
Hunt announcing his campaign.

Speaker 9 (06:08):
For Senate will be the biggest race in the state
next year. John Cornin already on the attack going after Hunt.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
They think Texans are stupid, and if I have anything
to do with it, I'm going to make sure every
Texan understands that John Cornan worked very hard and very
publicly to keep Donald Trump from running for president. A
man accused of robbing a nine year old at gunpoint
at a Southwest Houston apartment complex.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
HBD says this was all over some bags of grocery.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
She'll say, twenty year old Joelle Alfredrees approached and stole
the bags of groceries at gunpoint.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
You can't fix that. That is a broken human being.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
There is nothing that guy will ever offer society that
level of crime, That type of person has to be
taken out of general population and thrown into a game.

Speaker 7 (06:58):
Former New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is facing misdemeanor
charges after an alleged drunken fight with a truck driver.
Court documents say the man, who was working with one
of the hotels, was defending himself after Sanchez threw him
to the ground.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
He's not a bar.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
It's midnight, and he's from what the reports are saying,
he's doing wind sprints in the alley.

Speaker 8 (07:17):
Okay, what our own, Daryl Konder, the man was out
of title road to the group. If I'm ever Mark
Sanchez drunk, I'm not gonna be doing wind sprints and
beating up an old man. I'm gonna be crushing a
double meat cheeseburg. I love covers outside the original genre.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Stuck on.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
The beat.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
And the way I'm getting the South with you, my way.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Light day.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
It's the Michael Barry Show, mom, But I do my
best to free well mostly. All right, we have a guest.
Let me take two quick calls so that I can
get to her. What's that?

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (08:42):
Okay, all right, hold on. That's gonna hold right there,
and then the caller you're on, Michael Berry, shall go ahead.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
On, Corey, don't screw it up.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
What's that?

Speaker 6 (08:55):
This is Roger.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Hi, Roger, go ahead, I'm.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
Good, You're good, We're all Michael. I tell you I
used to be a Democrat. I'll vote it for Bill
Clinton the first time, and then I discovered rustling ball
and now I don't vote so Democrat, that's for sure.
I had something else to say, but I forgot.

Speaker 8 (09:14):
Well, think about it. Hold on, what was it related
to something I said? Or was it something of the
day or something you've been thinking.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
On, something I've been thinking of.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
All right, Well, when you think of it, calls back
and we'll put you on. All right.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
In order to take the next car and give it
any context, I've got to tell you the fertile ground
that this person found when they emailed me. So I'll
make this as quick as I can. One thing I
don't like is people in a position of some authority
who abuse it. So let's go back to the RCC,

(09:52):
not quite ten years ago, seven eight years ago or so,
and I get an email from the City of Richmond,
which was just down the road from the RCC. I
think it was seven miles all in, not very far
at all, might have been less. And it says, hey,
we would like you to open in the city of Richmond.

(10:15):
We think you'd be a perfect fit. Our residents love you,
and we're willing to do what it takes to get
you into the city of Richmond. We have a property
picked out for you. Well, they had a property they
needed to get rid of, and they came to me.
It wasn't like they came to me and then found
a property. And the property was the old fire station.

(10:35):
And if you ever drive into Richmond, and if you're
coming from town and you're on ninety kind of split
Richmond in half, you come over the bridge, there's a
little tex Mex restaurant right there, Laos I think it is.
It's the old style text Mex. It has that same sign.
In fact, Larry's Larry's has that same sign. In fact,

(10:56):
I talked about that sign at the time. Some of
you will remember it's like the speedy Gonzalez's cousin Sleepy
is leaned up against the slow Pope. Yeah, don't hey,
don't don't get too proud. It's just it's not a major.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Part of the story. Stay focused.

Speaker 8 (11:12):
He's up against the cactus and he's got some barrow
down and it's the white stucco and you go in
there and you pay at the end at the at
the checkout, and the owner is there because they're watching
the money. And you get your your little candy as
you leave, and they got a little glass case to
buy you. You know the type of place I'm tking about.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Right, So.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
We've got this place and we're willing to make it
worth your while.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
No, no thanks.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
So for the course of several months, the economic director,
the development director keeps emailing me, Hey, we got this place.
You got to check it out. You got to check
it out, and so you know, we're gonna make this
worth your while. And I said, look, I'm gonna be
honest with you. Like I tell everybody else, I don't
want to have a meeting. Everybody wants to have a
ged meeting. I don't want to have a meeting. I
don't have time for meetings. Why don't you lay out

(12:00):
what you have to offer in an email? And I
tell everybody this, No, I'm not going to drive to
a meeting for you with you. We're not gonna have coffee,
we're not gonna have drinks. If you have something you
want to present, present it in nicol light a day
on a piece of paper where we both have a
record of it. Instead of us, instead of me driving
to a meeting for you to sell me life insurance,
we're not doing that. So they lay it out, here's

(12:22):
the deal. We got this thing, and we're willing to
make this deal worth it for you.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
And so.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
They present that if I think it was if I
would be there, I'm going to get the details wrong,
but you'll get the gist of it. If I would
operate an RCC there, which would be a smaller RCC
it's the old fire station because they have a new
fire station now that's a bigger, fancy fire station. Because
for some reason they felt like they needed that they didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
So anyway, they.

Speaker 8 (12:52):
Would if I would operate it for I think two
years then and basically if I would stay there for
five years, I would own the property. And it was
a very very favorable least like two thousand dollars a month.
So I said, all right, I'll come and view the property. Well,
the property had been an old fire station, and it

(13:16):
was it needed a lot of work. But if I'm
going to own this thing, then it made sense. And
if they're going to make it so viable for me,
then it made sense. I didn't approach them. I wasn't
thinking of a second RCC. This was really going to
be more of an ice house. But I didn't have parking,

(13:36):
so they said, we've got that figured out. Two doors
over is a lot where we keep overflow public works
vehicles or something of the sort, and we can't put
that in the deal, but we can give you that
imperpetuity for say five hundred dollars. Okay, fine, So the
whole deal is starting to come together and look pretty good.
So I begin my due diligence and I'm searching out everything,

(14:00):
liquor sales in the area and all this, and so finally, okay,
we have agreed to a deal. It's a very very
favorable for me purchase of a property that has been
derelict and abandoned for years. So all I have to
do is go to the city council and they're going
to prove it. I go to city council. They play
my theme song as I walk in. They've got a spread.

(14:21):
They've got a deck of photos of the RCC and
people having fun and everything else on the walls, and so.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know that this deal is ready to go.

Speaker 8 (14:33):
And there's an old black guy on the city council
and for whatever reason, he decides he needs more time
to think about this.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
What do you need to think about?

Speaker 7 (14:41):
What?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
You got a better use of the property?

Speaker 10 (14:43):
What am I?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
What is the issue?

Speaker 8 (14:45):
So they had some fireworks display that night they wanted
me to come to.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
So I go to that.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
I'm sitting out walking across them, walking in the mud
on the anyway. Long and short, they dragged me out
for over a year on something they came to me for,
begged me to do.

Speaker 10 (15:01):
I did.

Speaker 8 (15:01):
It wasn't doing them a favor. It was finally a
favorable deal to me. All right, I will do it.
And then pulled the rug out. And so for another
six months they wasted my time. And I said, you
know what, I am never going to say anything nice
about Richmond City Hall because you were a bunch of
jackass clowns and you old black guy. I don't know

(15:21):
how you ended up down here, probably some racial thing.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 8 (15:25):
I don't know why you don't like me. I don't
know why you were going to do this, but you
have no business on city council and the rest of
you letting him do it so with this in mind,
the house I was going to buy to move our
headquarters into, I get an email about hold on this
story about to tell you, and you get it all
fiberglass hood with air grabbing scoops mit the Michael Berry fuckinghood.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
Pins suonsmobile escaped from the ordinary.

Speaker 8 (15:53):
So, needless to say, I was very aggravated with the
City of Richmond.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I didn't approach them, property wasn't listed. They approached me.

Speaker 8 (16:03):
They put a lot of time and effort into wasting mine,
and well into a year, well over a year into it,
they have this one guy and then they start asking
a bunch of questions, and all of a sudden they're
in the catbird seat and they're.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Wanting to negotiate.

Speaker 8 (16:20):
And it was a bunch of guys that I don't
think could spell their own last name, but they were
all of a sudden, very sophisticated investment banker. I was
talking about the deal a bunch of dorks, and I
was just mad because I'd wasted so much time that
they had induced me to waste. Well, in the midst
of all that, there was a house a couple of

(16:41):
blocks away that was I don't know if it was
technically historic. It was a beautiful old house and it
looked like Mount Vernon. I mean, it was just incredib
or Monticello. It was built in that style and it
was glorious on a big corner in downtown Richmond. And
I remember the address and lower and Behold. I get

(17:03):
an email yesterday from a woman who said, I am
being run around by the City of Richmond. I bought
this house and here's what they're doing to me. And
it was the same address, and I thought, there's no
way this is. This has landed on my lap. So
I look it up and I said, that's the same
You can't miss it. It's nine oh seven Morton in

(17:24):
downtown Richmond. I was going to live there. There's there
are several houses on the property. It's in downtown, but
it's it's a big lot and it was a grand
estate back in the day. And then I was going
to put our studios and all our offices in the
main house. And lower and behold, it is the same house.

(17:45):
And it sounds like they're playing the same games. So
I don't know why she emailed me, but she emailed
me with the story of what she was going through.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I didn't know her.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
Her name is Aubrey Reinhart, but she is our guest.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Aubrey, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 9 (17:58):
Hi Michael, thank you for you had to.

Speaker 8 (18:00):
Wait through that history so that you would understand why
I was so interested in your story.

Speaker 9 (18:06):
Yeah, and I'm surprised how your ties to this property
because I was just looking for support in this navigating
auct have my support, sweetheart, you have my support.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
So I called.

Speaker 8 (18:22):
The first time I saw that property, I called the
owner who when you and I emailed yesterday, it sounds
like you've come to know and they'd had an illness
of I guess they kind of had a household prior
to and then he passed and it fell to her
and they met me Uncle Jerry, and I drove up.
It was a weekday night when I discovered the house

(18:44):
and I called him about it, and I said, how
far do y'all live from it?

Speaker 1 (18:47):
And I lived, you know, forty.

Speaker 8 (18:49):
Minutes away, and they said, oh, fifteen minutes. And I said,
well if I could meet you at the house at
some point, and they said, we can meet you now,
So I said, well, it'll take me forty minutes according
to whatever. I met them up there. That was the
first time I saw the house, and then we went
across the street and had dinner at Sandy McGee's, which
is fantastic, And I was just blown away by this house.

(19:10):
But why don't you tell a little bit about what
the City of Richmond has done to you?

Speaker 9 (19:15):
Yeah, I agree with you. The house is absolutely stunning,
and it's nearly a century old. And what's happening is
I like to restore. I bought this property to restore it,
not flip it, not demolish shit, and personally investing to
bring this century old building back to life. And I
have to work with the city in order to restore

(19:38):
the existing building because they don't need code. The new
code was written in twenty fifteen for new construction. These
properties are from a different era and I'm not asking
for them to change the rules or bend them or
special treatment. I want to restore the existing buildings and
the exceptions the variances that I need a I set

(20:01):
back from the front or interior. I can't move these buildings,
but they're not positioned on the lot to meet current code.
So I've been working with the Planning Department, who recommends
approval of every variant because it aligns perfectly with the
city's own revitalization goals their Central master Plan. They have

(20:21):
a ten year revitalization project and this alignment like leading
the charge with it. Because they just published this on
Monday the sixth, I went in front of the Planning
and Zoning Commission to get approval for this, to help
restore it, to get their support and really give them

(20:41):
an opportunity to have input and guidance on how it
gets restored so I can meet the rest of the code.
And the staff gave them the backgrounds and the details
and the six variances that I'm asking for, and one
commissioner made a motion to deny everything, and the only

(21:04):
explanation that he gave is does not meet UDC. Well,
I know that. That's why I'm here, because the existing
properties don't meet UDC and they can't. I can't pick
them up and move them, so they're basically saying demolish it.
That's their position. In order to meet UDC, the Historic

(21:26):
Beautiful CENTRAI old buildings would need to be torn down
in order to erect buildings that can meet UDC, and
I can do the same thing. I can do the
same plan the same thing on new construction. They just
have to be configured on the lot differently in order
to meet code. And I'm shocked by it. The city

(21:47):
is doing things like withholding water service. They're not explaining why.
I've tried to communicate with them respectfully and work with them,
but there's no transparency, there's no accountability, there's no explanation.
They don't return phone calls. I'm so frustrated at this
point that I'm stuck in this state of limbo. Michael,

(22:08):
here's the irony. I don't need the commission's approval to
bulldoze everything and build new in order to meet code
and do exactly the same thing. Or if I use
the existing buildings of commercial properties, I can put a
parking lot or a daycare, nightclub, micro brewery, outdoor fitness,
mental batting, cage, alcohol sales, even a bed and breakfast,

(22:30):
which would put noise and traffic and a transient community,
and not someone that has conviction where this is their
home and they want to make this somewhere that they
are proud of. I can't. I can do all that
without any approvals, without any variances, but to restore them
to residences, I can't they're putting up all this red tape.

(22:55):
It would drive people away from their own plan, their
own revitalization, everything that they're toting out into the world
that they want to see for Richmond. I'm not a
big developer, I'm not a big company. I'm a single
person investing in Richmond's future, doing exactly what the city
claims it wants residents to do. But the message that

(23:16):
they're sending is don't bother. We won't help you, We
don't want you to they don't want to.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Have There's some deep psychological profile at play here, because
it became clear to me that at least some people
associated with this city are wishing they could run Houston
or New York or Chicago, or there's something going on.

(23:44):
And I have heard this complaint that you aren't describing
again and again and again, and obviously I'm receptive to
it because I witnessed it myself.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Hold on just a moment, what are you doing, Michael.

Speaker 10 (24:12):
And all prest lame and not so very old and
a girl name. It is to blame.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
For a low blue for the hearts that never played
into We should.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
See how many bread songs we can get on the
air at this calendar year, because I think this is
probably number four with my guests all have.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
You heard that song before?

Speaker 9 (24:52):
I'm named after that song?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Are you serious?

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (24:56):
That was my mom's favorite song when I was born,
and she named me after it.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
You might have been made to that song?

Speaker 9 (25:03):
Is that's my theme song?

Speaker 7 (25:04):
Right there?

Speaker 1 (25:04):
How about that? What are the chances, Ramond? Are your
parents Mormon?

Speaker 9 (25:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Okay, you know Bread's Mormon.

Speaker 9 (25:14):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, they're Mormon.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
So so have you actually purchased the house the problem
in March? Okay, I'll have to ask you off air
what you paid, because I was negotiating pretty hard on that,
and I was actually very very excited about that property.
I didn't get to fight with the city properly over
the property itself because without the the RCC being a

(25:40):
block away, it didn't make sense. If I recall about
a block away. The other direction from the from the
river that runs perpendicular to ninety as you go in,
there was this sort of sketchy I don't know what.
I don't know if apart those are apartments or section
eight or what that is?

Speaker 9 (25:59):
That still the Yeah, it's across the street, across the street.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah, what is that?

Speaker 9 (26:06):
It is apartment buildings, and that's there was one person
who had opposition to the meeting on Monday, and she
has rightful concerns that that property has a bunch of
garbage and code violations and the concern is that that
could happen again. But it's irrelevant. It's a different property,
it's a different owner.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, that's uh.

Speaker 8 (26:30):
I don't know how they let that in the downtown
area because we walked.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
We walked.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
When before I buy a property, I go at night
and I walk around to see what kind of stuff
you're going to see. And I got to tell you,
I've bought a fair number of properties over the years.
This had one of the worst areas around it.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Because of that.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
I don't think that's just a free market apartment complex.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think that's like a halfway house.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
It was.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
It was not good. I mean, I was okay, I was.

Speaker 8 (26:57):
We were going to figure out how to make this
property secured. But I don't think they should be so
proud when they've got what maybe a halfway house or
a nutty bin, or a criminal a cartel hotel going
on down there, and they're acting like this property, which
in my opinion is most desirable property in downtown Richmond
that they're going to guard it. You know what's interesting

(27:19):
about this, Aubrey, is that my dealings on this property
was years ago, and I think when we emailed yesterday,
if I recall correctly, you bought it from the lady
I was negotiating with.

Speaker 9 (27:31):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
So that means that property has sat on the market
all this time, yes, which means you're not the first
person to have a problem with Richmond, You're just the
first person to reach.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Out to me.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
Yeah. In fact, the prior owner said she reached out
to the city to try to get their support and
possible variances because she was having a hard type of
selling it based on all the things that I'm going
through and what did they do nothing.

Speaker 8 (28:00):
She was in a bad way when I was talking
to her because she had just lost I guess it
was her husband and not her father, maybe her husband,
and they had gone through a prolonged illness, and that
there was a lot going on and I felt horrible
for the family, and it was going to be a
great deal for both of us, and she was excited
about us being there. She was a listener to the show.
She and I carried on an email conversation for probably

(28:22):
three months afterwards, and I was so excited, but I
just couldn't. I didn't have a reason to be in
Richmond if I didn't have the building at the end
of the street. It used to be a woman mayor
who was very reasonable. In fact, I was high on
her until the conflict started and she clearly didn't want
a battle with the city council. Who is the mayor today?

Speaker 9 (28:45):
Such a good question. I would have to look it up.

Speaker 8 (28:47):
Yeah, it's disappointing because Richmond has so much to offer,
such a beautiful beauty. You know, there's as you know,
there's that cemetery just around the corner, right there out
your front door, about three blocks. I'm sure you've been
over there. There is a little bar located there, and
it's a perfectly nice bar. But that cemetery has Deaf

(29:12):
Smith and some of the Texas historic legends. I don't
know if your lifelong textan or care about that sort
of stuff, but there are some very very famous Texans
buried in that cemetery, and a lot of Texas history
is based in Richmond.

Speaker 9 (29:27):
It is, and there's a lot of great places to go.
There's the Italian restaurant Gino's. There's a bar around the
corner that does live music.

Speaker 8 (29:37):
Oh you know what, I just found out Aubrey. My
friend John McLear, who owned whose father founded Buffalo Grill
many years ago, sent me a message and said Larry's
was founded by Mammaepha and that Felix Tierna was involved
in It was founded in nineteen sixty and Mamma Ninpha
was the one.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Who set it up.

Speaker 9 (29:58):
But that how interesting. I actually have been there. I
did go and have some Mexican foods are one evening.

Speaker 8 (30:05):
It's fantastic. It's absolutely fantastic. All right, I've got about
three minutes. I know you had your your surveyor on.
I want to get his perspective in. I don't know
what that is, but his name is Seth.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
What do you have for me? Seth?

Speaker 8 (30:22):
We're still figuring out our phone lines, so we may
not be able to get him on.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Did you get him on? Seth? Are you there? There
we go? Seth? Are you there?

Speaker 8 (30:38):
We may have to do it another day when we
have actual phone lines. We're still figuring out our phone lines.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Go on here, Oh there we go?

Speaker 8 (30:45):
All right, go ahead, my man. I'm short on time,
but go ahead, tell me what I need to know.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Seth, you think it's on his end, I'm not sure.

Speaker 9 (30:52):
Do you want me to try to three way him
for me?

Speaker 7 (30:55):
No, it's context. Yeah, I hear anything else going on.
But I've worked with Ms Reinhart on this project for
the last nine months and the frustrating events that have
occurred with the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City
of Richmond, not the Planning and Zoning Department, who's done

(31:15):
an admirable job of trying to get this project through
and recommended approval, the less, It's been difficult, to say
the least, to try and get everybody to understand that
this property is beautiful and we want to preserve it
in every aspect that we can, while at the same
time conforming to the revitalization plan that was published in

(31:40):
July of this year to do this very thing. And
it feels like the Commission is wielding their power simply
to wield their power. And that's the only conclusion we
could come up with as we walked into what seemed
to be a predetermined decision to and I with no basis,

(32:01):
no foundation, no evidence and in contradication to the doctrines
they're supposed to uphold. And that's where we were left,
that delayed.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
That's exactly how I felt.

Speaker 8 (32:16):
It was just an arbitrary show of their power because
they were very happy to have a little power.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
That that was exactly what I felt.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
That's what I explained to Miss Reinhardt day for two
hours a month, they wear their crowns and wield their scepters,
and and so that's that's where it was left. So
Miss Reinhardt is left paying taxes, paying interest, paying mortgage
on a structure that she cannot not only not occupy,
but cannot bring to fruition.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Good grief.

Speaker 8 (32:50):
City of Richmond should be ashamed. I hope they're overwhelmed
with phone calls. I hope they fixed their system. If
you have had a crazy story with a government wielding
crazy power seven one three nine nine nine, one thousand,
