the wife why she wanted to end her marriage. She
said she hated all his constant star wars day puns.
The husband looked at the therapist and said, divorce is
(02:00):
wrong with this one. We got a state legislature in
session every two years, one hundred and fifty days. If
you don't get it done, then it doesn't get done,
and they're talking about everything, but what's important? What's important?
(02:21):
I drove to Santon this weekend and we still have people,
maybe more than ever, driving slow in the left lane.
We still have people driving slow in the left lane.
There has got to be a solution to this. There
has got to be a better way. I'm not looking
to drive one hundred miles an hour on the freeway
like some people. I know, I'm not, but I've got
(02:42):
to be able to drive the speed limit plus seven.
That's got to happen. And we can't do it. We
just can't do it because there's somebody over there. There's
always somebody over there, and it drives me just about insane.
But I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna tell you
right now. I studied my theory that I offered a
few weeks ago. You know why people stay in that
(03:04):
lane and won't go over to the right twenty seven
percent of the time is because if they go into
the slow lane, you won't let them back in the
fast lane. What ends up happening is you got an
eighteen wheeler and I don't want them driving crazy, right
They they can do a lot of harm up here,
all right. So they're kind of steady. Issue goes. They're
doing about sixty eight and trucking along literally and you're
(03:27):
trying to go around them. But as you're in the
slow lane, you're not driving the fast lane. You're not
supposed to us just to pass. You pull up to
go around, and there's somebody and he's humming and he
doesn't want to pump the brakes even one time for
you to get in, so he doesn't let you in.
The guy doesn't behind you, doesn't let so you're going slower.
(03:47):
And so because you're having to come down to the
speed of that truck and nobody will let you in.
Not a chance. They're not about to be inconvenience for
one second by letting you in. So you stay over
there for a while, ten minutes over there, and all
those cars go past you, and you wanted to pass
and get past that truck. So what do you do.
You go, Okay, they get over, I just stay there.
(04:09):
And that's what people do. They get in that lane
and they stay in that lane because you won't let
them back in. And that's the fact I've seen it.
Send it in my own two Eyes Fiesta Fiesta Texas
in San Antono over the weekend. I had a couple
of people send me emails, Hey, you need to be
advised because I never know what the weather's going to be,
and I never know when there's gonna be a crowd.
(04:29):
I'm always impressed. I don't know what these people do.
They just I guess they check crowd size and weather
every day. People send me emails, you need to be advised.
It's gonna be you say, gonna be in sant Antonin,
It's gonna be fiesta. And I thought, good grief, I thought,
my mom died. What are you doing here? Why do
I need to know that? Well? I needed to know
that there were people everywhere. Some of them was white,
(04:51):
not many, but some of them. My goodness. I brought
my brother in law and sister in law, and of
course my wife. It's her sister and her sister's husband,
and I had to try to explain to her Chicanos
and Tehano's and what all that means. And about every
fifteen minutes my brother law said, so they're Mexican. Well, no,
(05:14):
we call them Mexican shorthand. Because he'd say so, they're Mexican. No. No,
they've lived here longer than my people have. Some of
them fall on this side and at the Alamo or
claim they did. Okay, so they've lived here. They serve
in the he's a military man, he was a general Army.
They's a lot of them serving the Marines and a
lot of them serving the armies. Some of them serving
(05:36):
the Navy, but a lot of them serving the military.
A lot of them are cops. They're nice people. They're
good people, family people. They all play softball, very you know,
very loving to their kids. They're they're good people. They
but they have a different culture. Well they like they
like text mex Okay, so Mexican food. No, Mexican food
(05:58):
is different. This is text mex This is much better.
You don't want you ever get stuck somewhere and you
get Mexican food and they make a big deals Mexican
food that's not gonna any good. Okay, So they're Mexican. No,
they're not Mexican. A tax mex The food is tax
mex These are Latinos or Hispanic changes. It's like black people.
You got to keep up. It changed every couple of years.
(06:18):
But just don't call them Mexicans. Mexican is shorthand, and
they will for shorthand call themselves Mexican. They'll say, you
know you're gonna have me the servesa And You're like, what, yeah,
you know, I'm Mexican. Okay, Well, but you we we
live in the same nigh You've lived in the same
neighborhood for sixty you were born in Port Arthur. How
are you mean you know, I mean or were Mexican?
(06:40):
You know how we do? So I had to explain
to him the shorthand use of Mexican and not Mexican
Texan And anyway, a lot of people at Fiesta Texas,
a lot of people. You know what, I'm in awe
of ver Moon the Riverwalk. Now, I know what you're
gonna say. You ain't everybody Riverwal. I'm been in the
Riverwal one hundred times. There are very few public projects
(07:02):
that make a difference. Most of them are stupid, like
the Hemisphere, that whole needle in the in the air
for the sixty eight World World's Fair. That was dumb,
wasted money. Most of the stadiums you built for the
for the for the Olympics dumb. Most of the big
public projects. Most of the public art. I don't get
public art. It's stupid. Public art is just an opportunity
(07:25):
to to pay some dude that's weird as hell to
cobble together something, and everybody's so excited. We're gonna have
an art installation and we're gonna reveal it, and you
see it and you go, oh god. I got to
look at that every day. What the hell is that
I used to office at eleven hundred Louisiana downtown and
that some Frenchman had made and that somehow that made
(07:47):
it better. He was French had made some art installation
years ago, and lord knows what they had paid for it.
And it was it was like a Keith Herring painting
or something. It was the white stick figure me that
they were white, red and blue. It was idiots. I
had to look at it every day, had to go
out the other door. God forbid, how much do they
pay for that? Fan Now, world when you need to
(08:11):
escape from the every day escaped of the Michael Berry Show.
So I studied the Riverwalk different, not just as a
consumer or a tourist. First of all, if you say
you're going to San Anton, the two things that people
(08:32):
are gonna tell you got to say or expect you're
gonna say Alamo in a riverwalk. So it rises to
that level. Nobody wants to see the Spurs because their
coach is an idiot. Oh, how sickening he announced his retirement.
All the Spurs fans who are all idiots. You'll never
(08:55):
meet anybody who's a Spurs fan's not an idiot. Someone
says you they're a Spurs fan, you don't even need
to check. You already know they're an idiot. If you
don't know them that, well, just they're an idiot. You
don't need it. Even when I'm a person. Yeah, well, okay, hello,
I think I keep that to myself. No, wouldn't I
You think you should too, So I'm not even gonna
say his name. This guy, this guy with the stupidest
(09:17):
political views, leaving Steve Kerr the field to himself to
just be stupid. You know why they do this. You
know why Popovich and Kurt did this. I'll tell you.
You get these guys who have all black basketball players
except for maybe one Argentinian ever Swelt, and there's a
(09:38):
there's a gap between them and the players. So in
order to build credibility with the guys. They come out
and say really stupid stuff with the belief that the
guys go he's one of us. Yeah, he's down for
the cause. Okay, yeah, well I leave that alone. So anyway,
(10:04):
people go to Santone for the river Road. It's one
of those places you can go from Houston that you
don't have to have tickets to any event. It doesn't
have to be a major festival going on. It doesn't
have to be a reason. You just go there. You
don't just go to Amarillo, right, You don't just go
to Abilee. There's something going on, maybe rodeo days, a
(10:27):
big concert or whatever. You go to sant Anton and
you cobble together a couple things to do, maybe you
and your girl, maybe your kids when they're young, and
you can have a good weekend of it. Except the drive,
because the aforementioned person that drives slow in the fast
lane you got a bucky stop. I have a theory
(10:51):
when I would ask my mom what they were doing
this weekend or what they had done the weekend before.
You know, she said, we went to Iowa Colony for
the for the lean market, And I paused, and she
would think I was judging her. I wasn't, and she say,
it's something to do. People need something to do. BUCkies
is something to do because otherwise you got the drive
(11:12):
to San Antoni. You're trying to put together a couple
of things. You want something to be excited about, right,
BUCkies gives you something to be excited about. And they
play in and you play in. We all agree, Oh,
we're having We're gonna look forward to BUCkies. They're gonna
have guests, and they're gonna have signs on the way.
We're gonna pull in and everybody else it's doing. They're
doing exactly what we're doing, which is validating us. And
(11:33):
what exactly are we doing. We're peeing. A bathroom's pretty clean, Okay,
we're peeing. And listen if it was an awkward conversation.
Because I started into the conversation, I realized, my I
don't think my wife was Indian, but my brother in
law my sister in law are Indians. So I'm having
to explain the reason that BUCkies is so pop got
so popular is because the Indians and Pakistani. So I
(11:55):
just said, to Pakistani's because my brother law has been
at war with the pakistanis for a year. So I
just said, the BUCkies so popular because Pakistani's closed the
gas station down. They won't open the gas, they won't
open the bathroom. The bathroom is perpetually broke them. You're
on it and they know you're not coming back. But
you know, there's an interesting thing romon. There's a gas
station across the way. There's the loves. I believe this
(12:17):
across the way. So I said, I gotta cipher out
who's going to this station? And my wife said, locals.
How you figure, she said, because locals don't want to
have to drive around and find a parking spot. Locals
don't want to walk in with all these people with this,
you know, unnaturally gleeful expression on their face, and they're
so excited they just want to get in and get out.
I said, huh, I bet you're right. I bet you're right.
(12:41):
So anyway, we stopped at BUCkies and did the requisite
BUCkies trip. My sister in law said, so they have
a department store in here. I said, well, that's a
weird way to look at it. I mean, I guess
technically it is true. I will tell you rmon. I
am surprised I'm very surprised that they sell enough clothing
(13:02):
to make all that space worthwhile. I think that space
is at a loss leader. I don't see people buy
that much clothing, do you do? I see them wear
in it, yeah, but I don't see people. It's not
like you know, Pallei royal and orange back to school time. Now.
I think they sell a number of you know, the
(13:23):
beaver nuggets and the different nuts and the different things
like that. I do think they sell. But primarily I
watched people in the line because Indians are very slow,
so I watched people in line while I'm waiting on
them to come at the exit to get out. And
there was a line. You know, it's a weekend fiesta,
(13:45):
last weekend of festa. It's a lot of people going
to sant an Tone And I watched people, and most
people had a drink and not just a drink. Somewhere
along the way, I'm guessing it was about ninety five
people just decided I want to drink. I don't want
a gallon of it. You just you know it's gonna
be so much. I just wonder they don't have a
(14:07):
drink holder. Where do people put that drink? That big
old drink. Well, you put it in your crotch, right,
you need an extra long straw. You don't have to
pick it up, just draw them. You don't even need
to move, just guzzling it. Then you've got to pee again.
There's not a bucket other BUCkies on the way, unless
you're on the way back there's another BUCkies on the way.
I do think having more than one BUCkies lost, you know,
(14:27):
one percent of the luster. For me, it was like, oh,
you're going to Santoni. You're like, I had BUCkies. You've
been to BUCkies. That was the only BUCkies. Now there's
BUCkies everywhere, but it had to happen, so anyway, that
was BUCkies. Uh, it's not the easiest to get in
and out of. I'm go ahead and say that right now.
It's not the easiest to get in and out of.
(14:50):
Not terribly easy. And then you can't just park and
go in. You better not need to go when you
get there. You can't just park and go in. You're
gonna you're gonna spend some time park it because people
are excited and you know they're they're walking across. There
is also an unnaturally high rate of fat people. The
(15:10):
number of fat people at BUCkies is double what it
is in society. And that's a lot. That's really said
a lot. So anyway, we went from there to Me Tierra,
which was always a highlight of money. You've been to
Me Tierra In the market, it's Tracy Birds.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon
crawl and listen to the tsar of talk, my buddy
Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sinco to my own I'm getting. I always enjoy every
year Russell Laborrow will send me the sales numbers uh
the next day or total sales number of restaurants in
a year over year? This year it being on Sunday noon?
(16:01):
How does that work the next year? So if Cinco
de Mayo is on a Monday, was it last year
on Sunday? Is that how that works? Yeah? I think
that's how it works. So anyway, it's always interesting to
see and I he'll know the number off the top
of his head. But their sales are up. You got
(16:23):
to figure Bringos is always busy, so for them to
be up, you know, if a guy hadn't had a
hit all year and he gets up and gets a hit,
he just blew his batting average through the roof. But
if you're already batting, you know, three p thirty three
and you know it's the last game of the season,
you get a hit, you're not going to make a
(16:44):
huge difference to your batting average. So considering that you're
your sample size is huge already. Because Gringos is never
not busy. It's crazy to think what they do on
a day like today, and then I always look forward
to that. But this year, and he's kind enough to
send me year over year, this year will be less,
(17:05):
I suspect than when it's on a Friday or Saturday.
When it's on Saturday, it's huge because they'll get the lunch.
They'll get a lunch business today, but they'll get the
lunch and then they'll get the mid afternoon and the
early dinner and the dinner and all that, and they
will absolutely knock it out of the park. If it's
a Saturday. And if it's Friday, I guess people go
(17:26):
with their office, they'll go to eat text Mexican. It
kind of crept up on me this year. It's an
interesting story. Sinko to miow. If you don't know the story,
it's not actually Mexican independence people think it is. It's
actually a it's actually a day to celebrate dead beats
because the city of Puebla owed the French government or
(17:49):
the French, Yeah, I guess it was. The French government
had loaned the money and they were like, I'm not
gonna pay, and the French were like, oh, you are
going to pay the Mexicans. They went back and forth
and back and forth, and they were like, well, a
little skirmish broke out and the Mexicans won, but they
(18:10):
hadn't had a lot of victories at that point. So
the people of Pueblo, known as Poblano's like the Pepper.
They defeated the French and they celebrated, and that celebration
became a massive celebration because again, like Buckie's, people want
something to do. So single to Mayo. There you go.
(18:31):
You can tell that story while you're having drinks with
with the people at your office to day. You you
always want to be that guy. Everybody loves that guy.
Y'all even know what singer to Mayolia? He guess another
round of margeritas. Uh yeah, dress it with tahena in
one half and salt on there. Y'all even know what
singer to Miyoi? Can we get some ksoh, y'all even
know what singer to Mayo is Mexican of independence. No,
(18:54):
that's the thing about it. Nobody knows. Why are we
even here? You don't even know. Let me tell you
the story. So there was like you Publano Peppers or something. Anyway,
the river walk astounds me. I'm trying to think of
a better project, and it's just off the top of
my head. So I'm sure there are others. Golden Gate
(19:14):
Bridge doesn't even compare trying to think of a public
project Hoover Dan but that's not so much a tourist attraction.
Trying to think of a public project that is, that
has more utility in terms of tourism. That thing, you
(19:36):
know a lot of it is an actual river. And
then there's the man made canals they made for the
sixty eight World's Fair. But when you think about the
fact that you've got all the storefronts on commerce and
market in these various streets, and that does only a
people want to go down well low grade and walk
(20:00):
along a little canal that's in some places three or
four feet deep. But it creates an element. It draws
people in, and crowds validate we are pack animals at
the end of the day, and so you just walk along.
And part of the walking along is you're you're part
(20:20):
of the crowd that's walking along. I must be in
the right place because a lot of other people are
in the right place. A lot of other people are
doing this, and you think about what that does for
the San Antonin economy. It's incredible and it really is
something to behold. It's a it's a beautiful thing, the
way it works in the little the little bridges, and
(20:41):
there's where Selena, there's where Jennifer Lopez, uh, you know
in the movie. And I enjoy walking along the river Walk.
I don't know if I live there, i walk along
every day, but I do enjoy walking. And I enjoyed
getting my brother in law sister in law's reaction to
various things. We stayed in the Western Riverwalk because I
(21:03):
wanted them to see the Riverwalk. And it's not like
it was Motel six, but I think it was less
than tw hundred dollars for fiesta for what was a
nice room. Weston has you know a pretty good that
pre customer service and the quality of the room was good,
and I thought it was pretty good price for what
(21:23):
you got. And then we went to the Aliba. My
brother in law was one of the blue helmets at
Hotel Rwanda when it all went down. Nick Nolty's character
was really my brother in law. He served in Rwanda,
he served in Mozambique, he served in Kenya with the
Indian Army. He fought against the Packis, he fought against
(21:46):
uh well not officially because it's not official, but against
the Chinese on the eastern border. He's seen some things,
so I knew he was going to be interested. And Ramona,
have you been since they built the new Ralston or
whatever it is building? So you know, Phil Collins gave
all this stuff. It's glorious they got stuff. Man. I
(22:11):
hate I hate to think there are people who died
that never saw all the stuff Phil Collins had for
all those years. He's got what claims to be Santa
Anna's sword, Santa Anna's actual sword from eighteen thirty five.
He's got what's that it's don switchblade. No, you see, now,
(22:34):
you're just making cultural stereotypes. I don't know why they
dated at eighteen thirty five, Like did he not have
it at the Alamo in eighteen thirty I don't know.
But then they got they got a little deal. They've
got a replica of the of the Alamo, and Phil
Collins narrates it and they go, you know, and and
(22:56):
they go, you know. At this point there was a
breach and it was like the home depot parking lot.
The Mexicans were coming over the border here and then
they got the light and then uh, you know, and
then on this corner there was a breeze and poop,
the light pops up over there, and you can't help
but think to yourself at that point, part of the
problem is the damn thing is strung out too far.
(23:17):
The Mexicans had them stretched too far. And but it's
really really, really cool. I mean it's really cool. I've
been obsessed for the Alamo since I was a kid.
You know. Obviously I always wanted to have a son,
and I always want a name in Crockett. Uh, so
you know this, this this runs deep with me. But
(23:37):
if you haven't been to the Alamo, that the new exhibit,
it's worth said. This is Sevester Turner, the mayor and
a human being. Michael to my own, my brother in law,
who has.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
UH.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Toward the latter end of after he retired, he lectured
at the military colleges in India and abroad, and I
want him to come here and teach at maybe A
and M or one of the schools here that has programs.
But he's still part of a think tank in India
(24:21):
on this, an international think tank on war and geopolitical
peace and these sorts of things. But in any case,
he commented on the Battle of San Jacento and he said,
I don't recall a bigger, faster route in all of history.
(24:47):
Its in a while. That's sansom, He said, yeah, it
really is. When you study the logistics of what happened,
it really is amazing. It's an incredible thing that that
that this happened. You know, Santa Anna did a real
disservice to Mexicans, the whole Siesta thing. It's one thing
(25:10):
to lose a battle, but you're sleeping in the middle
of the afternoon, it just it doesn't and you hold
up with a woman. It just doesn't look good. But
it's not a good look. There's no way around it.
It's it's not a good look, I should tell you
so you're not angry with me. The new the new
(25:30):
portion of the Alamo. I'm a tactile person. I my
wife loved the new portion because you get to see,
you know, because there's there's there's a level of depth
to the research that's brought to it. But for me,
what appeals to me is the same thing it appealed
(25:51):
to me when I was eight years old when I
went the first time, and that is the church. When
you enter the church, and and when you see the
facade of the Alamo, when you walk the grounds, when
you see where the stone has weathered. That that appeals
(26:15):
to me. Seeing you know, the research. I've done the
research on my own. I don't need to go into
an air conditioned building and do that. But my wife
loved it. She thought that this was our first time
to see the whole new and if you don't know,
it's it's a big new museum. But I find museums
themselves to be mostly sterile and clinical, not because the
(26:38):
information isn't useful, but because it's almost never the case
that I go into a museum that I haven't already
read it all on the internet, so I can read
everything I'm going to read standing around other people, breathing
down my neck, waiting to get into that space and
look at it. You know, smoking a cigar on the
back porch in the from my own home and I
(27:00):
probably usually have so it wasn't my thing, but my
wife really enjoyed it. I don't enjoy seeing the little
things they had as much as my wife does. And
my brother in law, did you know this is his
knife and this is his razor, and okay, I'd rather
look at Okay, that's the wall they scaled. Okay, okay,
(27:20):
and that's where you know, an amazing thing ramon the Alamo.
It's not like the Alamo fell. San de Sento. You know,
Goliad happens, San Decento happens, We win the battle, but
lose a war with Mexico. We you know, become independent
(27:42):
and everything that happens there, and you know, the the
Alamo becomes this historic site. Far from it, I mean
it was. It had a number of commercial uses. I mean,
it's hard to believe that people, well, that things were
happening there that were not treating the Alamo as the
(28:05):
sacred space we see it as today. I did get
a little aggravated. I was, I go down these rabbit holes.
So I was leaning against a wall inside the habitation,
which is the rooms to the side when you enter
to the to the left. This is free to the public.
(28:27):
And I'm leaning against the wall in reading about the
particular that that particular place and thing in some docent
screams at me, can't lean on the wall. Oh okay,
all right, all right, So my immediate reaction is to accommodate. Oh,
I'm sorry, Yeah, all right, she's just doing her job.
(28:50):
I go ten more steps in the next room, docent
leaning on the wall, and I thought to myself, you
are really lucky I hadn't had at least one pop,
because I'd have been like, do you know, because it's
the spook effect, you know, when you f you're you're
trying to read, and you're like, you feel like there
might be Mexicans around any corner. You know, you're getting ready,
(29:12):
and you know Travis has written his letter, how you're
getting all fired up, and then all of a sudden, Oh,
you didn't need to be like that, you know, you
You could have been a little softer, could have politely,
could have been a librarian voice you could have done
the librarian voice. That would have been nice. Anyway, I
urge you to go see it. The area around there,
(29:35):
they've even done some things to the old historic manger UH.
But the area around there is they've really spruced it up.
I guess they're redoing the UH hotel across the street.
I meant to check, but I didn't see. San Antonia
has had a lot of updates. It's really really it's
(29:56):
it's fantastic now. I did see some home homeless people
in downtown. It ain't a Austin or Portland, don't get
me wrong, or Houston, but I don't recall ever seeing
homeless people. Maybe I'm more conscious now, but I did
see some homeless people, and I hope that's not going
to continue. I really hope that's not going to get
(30:18):
because that will ruin everything. Nobody wants to bring their
kids around that because they were aggressive homeless. You know,
they were panhandling and just basically being a menace. They
were at the point they're at a nuisance. But it
doesn't take long and you get a few of them
together and they just start acting crazy. So weekend at
(30:39):
sant Anton I highly recommend if I get around to it,
which will probably not happen, I will post everywhere we went.
I will say this from I went to meet Tierra
on the way and I had a speech to give
in San Anton a couple of months ago, and my
wife couldn't make it because Crockett had exams and all that,
(30:59):
And she said, won't you take Michael Robinson? So my buddy,
the Aggie Plumber, and I he was kind enough to
go with me, and he drove when I smoked, and
we went to Metierra and it was fine. I didn't
think anything of it, but I took my brother law,
sister in law, and I metierr has always been part
(31:20):
of my visit to San Anton. Food was cold, they
put us in the back corner. They didn't take our
order for twenty minutes. It just the service wasn't good.
The experience wasn't good. The food was not good. And
that's even the cas I wasn't good. And I said
to my wife later asked, because I wouldn't never ruin
a meal at that time, I said, this feels odd
to say, but the food wasn't And I never say
(31:43):
I have a bad meal. I just tell myself I
had a good meal, and I had a good meal.
I said the food wasn't really good. Did you notice that?
And she goes, You're spoiled by gringoes, and I thought,
part of the reason I can't move out of Houston.
Do you ever try to eat textmac somewhere else? But
it was disappointing because Metier as legendary. We had Lafonda
on Sunday. It's one of my favorite places. We had
(32:06):
a place called Tokyo Cowboy, which was a Japanese text
mex fusion sounds goofy. You been there? Really good? I
mean a little little fussy.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
But it was good.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
H
It's that time time time, luck and load. So Michael
Verry Show's.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Guys looking into mic a week. Gotta feed every beard.
I don't plan to shave, and it's good thing, but
I just gotta see I'm doing all right?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Will you go make support me.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's beating verdict.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's either drinking the drug and snoolm just doing all right.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's a great dad be I know suns still.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Shining a close eyes. It's hot times in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
But why king every day?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Just fifteen years silent?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Apparently, the court ordered him to wear an ankle monitor.
An monitor monitor, That joke required some knowledge of biology. No, no, not.
Furniture store salesman told me this sofa will see five
(01:40):
people without any problems. And I said, where am I
gonna find find five people without any problems. Therapist asked
the wife why she wanted to end her marriage. She
said she hated all his constant star wars day puns.
The husband looked at the therapist and said, divorce is
(02:00):
wrong with this one. We got a state legislature in
session every two years, one hundred and fifty days. If
you don't get it done, then it doesn't get done,
and they're talking about everything, but what's important? What's important?
(02:21):
I drove to Santon this weekend and we still have people,
maybe more than ever, driving slow in the left lane.
We still have people driving slow in the left lane.
There has got to be a solution to this. There
has got to be a better way. I'm not looking
to drive one hundred miles an hour on the freeway
like some people. I know, I'm not, but I've got
(02:42):
to be able to drive the speed limit plus seven.
That's got to happen. And we can't do it. We
just can't do it because there's somebody over there. There's
always somebody over there, and it drives me just about insane.
But I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna tell you
right now. I studied my theory that I offered a
few weeks ago. You know why people stay in that
(03:04):
lane and won't go over to the right twenty seven
percent of the time is because if they go into
the slow lane, you won't let them back in the
fast lane. What ends up happening is you got an
eighteen wheeler and I don't want them driving crazy, right
They they can do a lot of harm up here,
all right. So they're kind of steady. Issue goes. They're
doing about sixty eight and trucking along literally and you're
(03:27):
trying to go around them. But as you're in the
slow lane, you're not driving the fast lane. You're not
supposed to us just to pass. You pull up to
go around, and there's somebody and he's humming and he
doesn't want to pump the brakes even one time for
you to get in, so he doesn't let you in.
The guy doesn't behind you, doesn't let so you're going slower.
(03:47):
And so because you're having to come down to the
speed of that truck and nobody will let you in.
Not a chance. They're not about to be inconvenience for
one second by letting you in. So you stay over
there for a while, ten minutes over there, and all
those cars go past you, and you wanted to pass
and get past that truck. So what do you do.
You go, Okay, they get over, I just stay there.
(04:09):
And that's what people do. They get in that lane
and they stay in that lane because you won't let
them back in. And that's the fact I've seen it.
Send it in my own two Eyes Fiesta Fiesta Texas
in San Antono over the weekend. I had a couple
of people send me emails, Hey, you need to be
advised because I never know what the weather's going to be,
and I never know when there's gonna be a crowd.
(04:29):
I'm always impressed. I don't know what these people do.
They just I guess they check crowd size and weather
every day. People send me emails, you need to be advised.
It's gonna be you say, gonna be in sant Antonin,
It's gonna be fiesta. And I thought, good grief, I thought,
my mom died. What are you doing here? Why do
I need to know that? Well? I needed to know
that there were people everywhere. Some of them was white,
(04:51):
not many, but some of them. My goodness. I brought
my brother in law and sister in law, and of
course my wife. It's her sister and her sister's husband,
and I had to try to explain to her Chicanos
and Tehano's and what all that means. And about every
fifteen minutes my brother law said, so they're Mexican. Well, no,
(05:14):
we call them Mexican shorthand. Because he'd say so, they're Mexican. No. No,
they've lived here longer than my people have. Some of
them fall on this side and at the Alamo or
claim they did. Okay, so they've lived here. They serve
in the he's a military man, he was a general Army.
They's a lot of them serving the Marines and a
lot of them serving the armies. Some of them serving
(05:36):
the Navy, but a lot of them serving the military.
A lot of them are cops. They're nice people. They're
good people, family people. They all play softball, very you know,
very loving to their kids. They're they're good people. They
but they have a different culture. Well they like they
like text mex Okay, so Mexican food. No, Mexican food
(05:58):
is different. This is text mex This is much better.
You don't want you ever get stuck somewhere and you
get Mexican food and they make a big deals Mexican
food that's not gonna any good. Okay, So they're Mexican. No,
they're not Mexican. A tax mex The food is tax
mex These are Latinos or Hispanic changes. It's like black people.
You got to keep up. It changed every couple of years.
(06:18):
But just don't call them Mexicans. Mexican is shorthand, and
they will for shorthand call themselves Mexican. They'll say, you
know you're gonna have me the servesa And You're like, what, yeah,
you know, I'm Mexican. Okay, Well, but you we we
live in the same nigh You've lived in the same
neighborhood for sixty you were born in Port Arthur. How
are you mean you know, I mean or were Mexican?
(06:40):
You know how we do? So I had to explain
to him the shorthand use of Mexican and not Mexican
Texan And anyway, a lot of people at Fiesta Texas,
a lot of people. You know what, I'm in awe
of ver Moon the Riverwalk. Now, I know what you're
gonna say. You ain't everybody Riverwal. I'm been in the
Riverwal one hundred times. There are very few public projects
(07:02):
that make a difference. Most of them are stupid, like
the Hemisphere, that whole needle in the in the air
for the sixty eight World World's Fair. That was dumb,
wasted money. Most of the stadiums you built for the
for the for the Olympics dumb. Most of the big
public projects. Most of the public art. I don't get
public art. It's stupid. Public art is just an opportunity
(07:25):
to to pay some dude that's weird as hell to
cobble together something, and everybody's so excited. We're gonna have
an art installation and we're gonna reveal it, and you
see it and you go, oh god. I got to
look at that every day. What the hell is that
I used to office at eleven hundred Louisiana downtown and
that some Frenchman had made and that somehow that made
(07:47):
it better. He was French had made some art installation
years ago, and lord knows what they had paid for it.
And it was it was like a Keith Herring painting
or something. It was the white stick figure me that
they were white, red and blue. It was idiots. I
had to look at it every day, had to go
out the other door. God forbid, how much do they
pay for that? Fan Now, world when you need to
(08:11):
escape from the every day escaped of the Michael Berry Show.
So I studied the Riverwalk different, not just as a
consumer or a tourist. First of all, if you say
you're going to San Anton, the two things that people
(08:32):
are gonna tell you got to say or expect you're
gonna say Alamo in a riverwalk. So it rises to
that level. Nobody wants to see the Spurs because their
coach is an idiot. Oh, how sickening he announced his retirement.
All the Spurs fans who are all idiots. You'll never
(08:55):
meet anybody who's a Spurs fan's not an idiot. Someone
says you they're a Spurs fan, you don't even need
to check. You already know they're an idiot. If you
don't know them that, well, just they're an idiot. You
don't need it. Even when I'm a person. Yeah, well, okay, hello,
I think I keep that to myself. No, wouldn't I
You think you should too, So I'm not even gonna
say his name. This guy, this guy with the stupidest
(09:17):
political views, leaving Steve Kerr the field to himself to
just be stupid. You know why they do this. You
know why Popovich and Kurt did this. I'll tell you.
You get these guys who have all black basketball players
except for maybe one Argentinian ever Swelt, and there's a
(09:38):
there's a gap between them and the players. So in
order to build credibility with the guys. They come out
and say really stupid stuff with the belief that the
guys go he's one of us. Yeah, he's down for
the cause. Okay, yeah, well I leave that alone. So anyway,
(10:04):
people go to Santone for the river Road. It's one
of those places you can go from Houston that you
don't have to have tickets to any event. It doesn't
have to be a major festival going on. It doesn't
have to be a reason. You just go there. You
don't just go to Amarillo, right, You don't just go
to Abilee. There's something going on, maybe rodeo days, a
(10:27):
big concert or whatever. You go to sant Anton and
you cobble together a couple things to do, maybe you
and your girl, maybe your kids when they're young, and
you can have a good weekend of it. Except the drive,
because the aforementioned person that drives slow in the fast
lane you got a bucky stop. I have a theory
(10:51):
when I would ask my mom what they were doing
this weekend or what they had done the weekend before.
You know, she said, we went to Iowa Colony for
the for the lean market, And I paused, and she
would think I was judging her. I wasn't, and she say,
it's something to do. People need something to do. BUCkies
is something to do because otherwise you got the drive
(11:12):
to San Antoni. You're trying to put together a couple
of things. You want something to be excited about, right,
BUCkies gives you something to be excited about. And they
play in and you play in. We all agree, Oh,
we're having We're gonna look forward to BUCkies. They're gonna
have guests, and they're gonna have signs on the way.
We're gonna pull in and everybody else it's doing. They're
doing exactly what we're doing, which is validating us. And
(11:33):
what exactly are we doing. We're peeing. A bathroom's pretty clean, Okay,
we're peeing. And listen if it was an awkward conversation.
Because I started into the conversation, I realized, my I
don't think my wife was Indian, but my brother in
law my sister in law are Indians. So I'm having
to explain the reason that BUCkies is so pop got
so popular is because the Indians and Pakistani. So I
(11:55):
just said, to Pakistani's because my brother law has been
at war with the pakistanis for a year. So I
just said, the BUCkies so popular because Pakistani's closed the
gas station down. They won't open the gas, they won't
open the bathroom. The bathroom is perpetually broke them. You're
on it and they know you're not coming back. But
you know, there's an interesting thing romon. There's a gas
station across the way. There's the loves. I believe this
(12:17):
across the way. So I said, I gotta cipher out
who's going to this station? And my wife said, locals.
How you figure, she said, because locals don't want to
have to drive around and find a parking spot. Locals
don't want to walk in with all these people with this,
you know, unnaturally gleeful expression on their face, and they're
so excited they just want to get in and get out.
I said, huh, I bet you're right. I bet you're right.
(12:41):
So anyway, we stopped at BUCkies and did the requisite
BUCkies trip. My sister in law said, so they have
a department store in here. I said, well, that's a
weird way to look at it. I mean, I guess
technically it is true. I will tell you rmon. I
am surprised I'm very surprised that they sell enough clothing
(13:02):
to make all that space worthwhile. I think that space
is at a loss leader. I don't see people buy
that much clothing, do you do? I see them wear
in it, yeah, but I don't see people. It's not
like you know, Pallei royal and orange back to school time. Now.
I think they sell a number of you know, the
(13:23):
beaver nuggets and the different nuts and the different things
like that. I do think they sell. But primarily I
watched people in the line because Indians are very slow,
so I watched people in line while I'm waiting on
them to come at the exit to get out. And
there was a line. You know, it's a weekend fiesta,
(13:45):
last weekend of festa. It's a lot of people going
to sant an Tone And I watched people, and most
people had a drink and not just a drink. Somewhere
along the way, I'm guessing it was about ninety five
people just decided I want to drink. I don't want
a gallon of it. You just you know it's gonna
be so much. I just wonder they don't have a
(14:07):
drink holder. Where do people put that drink? That big
old drink. Well, you put it in your crotch, right,
you need an extra long straw. You don't have to
pick it up, just draw them. You don't even need
to move, just guzzling it. Then you've got to pee again.
There's not a bucket other BUCkies on the way, unless
you're on the way back there's another BUCkies on the way.
I do think having more than one BUCkies lost, you know,
(14:27):
one percent of the luster. For me, it was like, oh,
you're going to Santoni. You're like, I had BUCkies. You've
been to BUCkies. That was the only BUCkies. Now there's
BUCkies everywhere, but it had to happen, so anyway, that
was BUCkies. Uh, it's not the easiest to get in
and out of. I'm go ahead and say that right now.
It's not the easiest to get in and out of.
(14:50):
Not terribly easy. And then you can't just park and
go in. You better not need to go when you
get there. You can't just park and go in. You're
gonna you're gonna spend some time park it because people
are excited and you know they're they're walking across. There
is also an unnaturally high rate of fat people. The
(15:10):
number of fat people at BUCkies is double what it
is in society. And that's a lot. That's really said
a lot. So anyway, we went from there to Me Tierra,
which was always a highlight of money. You've been to
Me Tierra In the market, it's Tracy Birds.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon
crawl and listen to the tsar of talk, my buddy
Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sinco to my own I'm getting. I always enjoy every
year Russell Laborrow will send me the sales numbers uh
the next day or total sales number of restaurants in
a year over year? This year it being on Sunday noon?
(16:01):
How does that work the next year? So if Cinco
de Mayo is on a Monday, was it last year
on Sunday? Is that how that works? Yeah? I think
that's how it works. So anyway, it's always interesting to
see and I he'll know the number off the top
of his head. But their sales are up. You got
(16:23):
to figure Bringos is always busy, so for them to
be up, you know, if a guy hadn't had a
hit all year and he gets up and gets a hit,
he just blew his batting average through the roof. But
if you're already batting, you know, three p thirty three
and you know it's the last game of the season,
you get a hit, you're not going to make a
(16:44):
huge difference to your batting average. So considering that you're
your sample size is huge already. Because Gringos is never
not busy. It's crazy to think what they do on
a day like today, and then I always look forward
to that. But this year, and he's kind enough to
send me year over year, this year will be less,
(17:05):
I suspect than when it's on a Friday or Saturday.
When it's on Saturday, it's huge because they'll get the lunch.
They'll get a lunch business today, but they'll get the
lunch and then they'll get the mid afternoon and the
early dinner and the dinner and all that, and they
will absolutely knock it out of the park. If it's
a Saturday. And if it's Friday, I guess people go
(17:26):
with their office, they'll go to eat text Mexican. It
kind of crept up on me this year. It's an
interesting story. Sinko to miow. If you don't know the story,
it's not actually Mexican independence people think it is. It's
actually a it's actually a day to celebrate dead beats
because the city of Puebla owed the French government or
(17:49):
the French, Yeah, I guess it was. The French government
had loaned the money and they were like, I'm not
gonna pay, and the French were like, oh, you are
going to pay the Mexicans. They went back and forth
and back and forth, and they were like, well, a
little skirmish broke out and the Mexicans won, but they
(18:10):
hadn't had a lot of victories at that point. So
the people of Pueblo, known as Poblano's like the Pepper.
They defeated the French and they celebrated, and that celebration
became a massive celebration because again, like Buckie's, people want
something to do. So single to Mayo. There you go.
(18:31):
You can tell that story while you're having drinks with
with the people at your office to day. You you
always want to be that guy. Everybody loves that guy.
Y'all even know what singer to Mayolia? He guess another
round of margeritas. Uh yeah, dress it with tahena in
one half and salt on there. Y'all even know what
singer to Miyoi? Can we get some ksoh, y'all even
know what singer to Mayo is Mexican of independence. No,
(18:54):
that's the thing about it. Nobody knows. Why are we
even here? You don't even know. Let me tell you
the story. So there was like you Publano Peppers or something. Anyway,
the river walk astounds me. I'm trying to think of
a better project, and it's just off the top of
my head. So I'm sure there are others. Golden Gate
(19:14):
Bridge doesn't even compare trying to think of a public
project Hoover Dan but that's not so much a tourist attraction.
Trying to think of a public project that is, that
has more utility in terms of tourism. That thing, you
(19:36):
know a lot of it is an actual river. And
then there's the man made canals they made for the
sixty eight World's Fair. But when you think about the
fact that you've got all the storefronts on commerce and
market in these various streets, and that does only a
people want to go down well low grade and walk
(20:00):
along a little canal that's in some places three or
four feet deep. But it creates an element. It draws
people in, and crowds validate we are pack animals at
the end of the day, and so you just walk along.
And part of the walking along is you're you're part
(20:20):
of the crowd that's walking along. I must be in
the right place because a lot of other people are
in the right place. A lot of other people are
doing this, and you think about what that does for
the San Antonin economy. It's incredible and it really is
something to behold. It's a it's a beautiful thing, the
way it works in the little the little bridges, and
(20:41):
there's where Selena, there's where Jennifer Lopez, uh, you know
in the movie. And I enjoy walking along the river Walk.
I don't know if I live there, i walk along
every day, but I do enjoy walking. And I enjoyed
getting my brother in law sister in law's reaction to
various things. We stayed in the Western Riverwalk because I
(21:03):
wanted them to see the Riverwalk. And it's not like
it was Motel six, but I think it was less
than tw hundred dollars for fiesta for what was a
nice room. Weston has you know a pretty good that
pre customer service and the quality of the room was good,
and I thought it was pretty good price for what
(21:23):
you got. And then we went to the Aliba. My
brother in law was one of the blue helmets at
Hotel Rwanda when it all went down. Nick Nolty's character
was really my brother in law. He served in Rwanda,
he served in Mozambique, he served in Kenya with the
Indian Army. He fought against the Packis, he fought against
(21:46):
uh well not officially because it's not official, but against
the Chinese on the eastern border. He's seen some things,
so I knew he was going to be interested. And Ramona,
have you been since they built the new Ralston or
whatever it is building? So you know, Phil Collins gave
all this stuff. It's glorious they got stuff. Man. I
(22:11):
hate I hate to think there are people who died
that never saw all the stuff Phil Collins had for
all those years. He's got what claims to be Santa
Anna's sword, Santa Anna's actual sword from eighteen thirty five.
He's got what's that it's don switchblade. No, you see, now,
(22:34):
you're just making cultural stereotypes. I don't know why they
dated at eighteen thirty five, Like did he not have
it at the Alamo in eighteen thirty I don't know.
But then they got they got a little deal. They've
got a replica of the of the Alamo, and Phil
Collins narrates it and they go, you know, and and
(22:56):
they go, you know. At this point there was a
breach and it was like the home depot parking lot.
The Mexicans were coming over the border here and then
they got the light and then uh, you know, and
then on this corner there was a breeze and poop,
the light pops up over there, and you can't help
but think to yourself at that point, part of the
problem is the damn thing is strung out too far.
(23:17):
The Mexicans had them stretched too far. And but it's
really really, really cool. I mean it's really cool. I've
been obsessed for the Alamo since I was a kid.
You know. Obviously I always wanted to have a son,
and I always want a name in Crockett. Uh, so
you know this, this this runs deep with me. But
(23:37):
if you haven't been to the Alamo, that the new exhibit,
it's worth said. This is Sevester Turner, the mayor and
a human being. Michael to my own, my brother in law,
who has.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
UH.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Toward the latter end of after he retired, he lectured
at the military colleges in India and abroad, and I
want him to come here and teach at maybe A
and M or one of the schools here that has programs.
But he's still part of a think tank in India
(24:21):
on this, an international think tank on war and geopolitical
peace and these sorts of things. But in any case,
he commented on the Battle of San Jacento and he said,
I don't recall a bigger, faster route in all of history.
(24:47):
Its in a while. That's sansom, He said, yeah, it
really is. When you study the logistics of what happened,
it really is amazing. It's an incredible thing that that
that this happened. You know, Santa Anna did a real
disservice to Mexicans, the whole Siesta thing. It's one thing
(25:10):
to lose a battle, but you're sleeping in the middle
of the afternoon, it just it doesn't and you hold
up with a woman. It just doesn't look good. But
it's not a good look. There's no way around it.
It's it's not a good look, I should tell you
so you're not angry with me. The new the new
(25:30):
portion of the Alamo. I'm a tactile person. I my
wife loved the new portion because you get to see,
you know, because there's there's there's a level of depth
to the research that's brought to it. But for me,
what appeals to me is the same thing it appealed
(25:51):
to me when I was eight years old when I
went the first time, and that is the church. When
you enter the church, and and when you see the
facade of the Alamo, when you walk the grounds, when
you see where the stone has weathered. That that appeals
(26:15):
to me. Seeing you know, the research. I've done the
research on my own. I don't need to go into
an air conditioned building and do that. But my wife
loved it. She thought that this was our first time
to see the whole new and if you don't know,
it's it's a big new museum. But I find museums
themselves to be mostly sterile and clinical, not because the
(26:38):
information isn't useful, but because it's almost never the case
that I go into a museum that I haven't already
read it all on the internet, so I can read
everything I'm going to read standing around other people, breathing
down my neck, waiting to get into that space and
look at it. You know, smoking a cigar on the
back porch in the from my own home and I
(27:00):
probably usually have so it wasn't my thing, but my
wife really enjoyed it. I don't enjoy seeing the little
things they had as much as my wife does. And
my brother in law, did you know this is his
knife and this is his razor, and okay, I'd rather
look at Okay, that's the wall they scaled. Okay, okay,
(27:20):
and that's where you know, an amazing thing ramon the Alamo.
It's not like the Alamo fell. San de Sento. You know,
Goliad happens, San Decento happens, We win the battle, but
lose a war with Mexico. We you know, become independent
(27:42):
and everything that happens there, and you know, the the
Alamo becomes this historic site. Far from it, I mean
it was. It had a number of commercial uses. I mean,
it's hard to believe that people, well, that things were
happening there that were not treating the Alamo as the
(28:05):
sacred space we see it as today. I did get
a little aggravated. I was, I go down these rabbit holes.
So I was leaning against a wall inside the habitation,
which is the rooms to the side when you enter
to the to the left. This is free to the public.
(28:27):
And I'm leaning against the wall in reading about the
particular that that particular place and thing in some docent
screams at me, can't lean on the wall. Oh okay,
all right, all right, So my immediate reaction is to accommodate. Oh,
I'm sorry, Yeah, all right, she's just doing her job.
(28:50):
I go ten more steps in the next room, docent
leaning on the wall, and I thought to myself, you
are really lucky I hadn't had at least one pop,
because I'd have been like, do you know, because it's
the spook effect, you know, when you f you're you're
trying to read, and you're like, you feel like there
might be Mexicans around any corner. You know, you're getting ready,
(29:12):
and you know Travis has written his letter, how you're
getting all fired up, and then all of a sudden, Oh,
you didn't need to be like that, you know, you
You could have been a little softer, could have politely,
could have been a librarian voice you could have done
the librarian voice. That would have been nice. Anyway, I
urge you to go see it. The area around there,
(29:35):
they've even done some things to the old historic manger UH.
But the area around there is they've really spruced it up.
I guess they're redoing the UH hotel across the street.
I meant to check, but I didn't see. San Antonia
has had a lot of updates. It's really really it's
(29:56):
it's fantastic now. I did see some home homeless people
in downtown. It ain't a Austin or Portland, don't get
me wrong, or Houston, but I don't recall ever seeing
homeless people. Maybe I'm more conscious now, but I did
see some homeless people, and I hope that's not going
to continue. I really hope that's not going to get
(30:18):
because that will ruin everything. Nobody wants to bring their
kids around that because they were aggressive homeless. You know,
they were panhandling and just basically being a menace. They
were at the point they're at a nuisance. But it
doesn't take long and you get a few of them
together and they just start acting crazy. So weekend at
(30:39):
sant Anton I highly recommend if I get around to it,
which will probably not happen, I will post everywhere we went.
I will say this from I went to meet Tierra
on the way and I had a speech to give
in San Anton a couple of months ago, and my
wife couldn't make it because Crockett had exams and all that,
(30:59):
And she said, won't you take Michael Robinson? So my buddy,
the Aggie Plumber, and I he was kind enough to
go with me, and he drove when I smoked, and
we went to Metierra and it was fine. I didn't
think anything of it, but I took my brother law,
sister in law, and I metierr has always been part
(31:20):
of my visit to San Anton. Food was cold, they
put us in the back corner. They didn't take our
order for twenty minutes. It just the service wasn't good.
The experience wasn't good. The food was not good. And
that's even the cas I wasn't good. And I said
to my wife later asked, because I wouldn't never ruin
a meal at that time, I said, this feels odd
to say, but the food wasn't And I never say
(31:43):
I have a bad meal. I just tell myself I
had a good meal, and I had a good meal.
I said the food wasn't really good. Did you notice that?
And she goes, You're spoiled by gringoes, and I thought,
part of the reason I can't move out of Houston.
Do you ever try to eat textmac somewhere else? But
it was disappointing because Metier as legendary. We had Lafonda
on Sunday. It's one of my favorite places. We had
(32:06):
a place called Tokyo Cowboy, which was a Japanese text
mex fusion sounds goofy. You been there? Really good? I
mean a little little fussy.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
But it was good.
