Speaker 1 (00:00):
We had dinner with some friends last night, and at
the end of the dinner, they they're very healthy people,
and you know, small portions, very healthy foods.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
They're not. They didn't grow up like I did. There's
no fried chicken here, right. We're not priding ourselves on
how much we eat, so I have to be on
my best behavior. Food was phenomenal. I had chicken. My
wife had fish. My wife would eat fish at every meal.
She could not me, not me. If I'm eating fish,
(00:34):
it's going to be fried yep. And you know, where
was I the other day? Where was I? The other day?
I could not get fried catfish? And I could not
believe they would not They did not have fried No,
it wasn't Dante's third level of Hell. It was somewhere
(00:59):
that I I would have expected. And they said, no,
we have drum, but not catfish. I don't want drum. Yeah,
the drums. One lives at his girlfriend's house. Uh what
what where was that? Hold on? Let me think about this.
The other day it was me and non though, and
(01:21):
I decide I'm going to have Oh, I can't remember anyway.
Did I ever tell you my story about Charles Clark
at brassfreet nineteen. So a lot of restaurants, if you
go in and ask for catfish, which what I grew
up on, they will make comments like ew, I've been
(01:45):
told by a restaurant owner I will not name when
I said, how come I don't fry catfish? That catfish
is a trash food? Be that as it may. We
can start listen. Your wife's got a tattoo that's begun
to sag. Let's not kidd. I don't know who said
(02:06):
that to me, and I don't know if that person
that was it. I shouldn't say that because whoever it
was probably listening to the show, and I'll be accused
of insulting his wife when that's not what I'm meant
to do. But anyway, I have been told before that
catfish is a trash food, which I think is ridiculous.
Catfish is a delicious food. It's a bottom feeder. Wait
a second, what fish are you eating? And do they
(02:30):
just did they just float on top of the water.
Anything beneath the surface is beneath them? Literally, Ah, bottom feeder?
What does that even mean? When you're eating the flesh
of a fish, what are you Yes, it's a bottom feeder.
(02:50):
What do you think I'm down there nibbling on the
bottom of the lake. What kind of stupid people have
I said? Yeah, it's vegan. What do I care? Honestly?
What do I care? If you really want to get
down into your food source, whether meat based, fish based,
(03:16):
or whatever else. And before you tell me how nasty
pigs are, let me fry you some bacon and you
have some of it, and you tell me how nasty
that pig was. Whoa, Let me get you a delicious
pork chop. Mm and let's talk about how honestly, But anyway,
(03:36):
can I need to get back to my fish? What? Yep?
Plus some bacon?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Man, I don't eat pork.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Are you Jewish?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I ain't Jewish. I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Why not hold on the delivery of John Travolta in
the way he says, are you Jewish? Like half kind
of jack happened at him, but half kind of asking
knowing good and well he's not. Travolta in this role
is so good and it's so different than the way
(04:10):
he's sort of off handles Are you Jewish? Do they
get what's a bacon?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Man, I don't eat four Are you jewish?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Ain't jewish? I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Why not pigs are filthy animals? I don't eat filthy animals.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Yeah, my bacon tastes good.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Poork chops taste good.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Hey, sword rat may taste like punkin pie.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But I never know, because I wouldn't eat the filthiness.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Pigs sleep and group, and that's a filthy animal.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I ain't even nothing. Ain't got sense enough to disregard
its own ccs.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But a dog, dog eats his own feces.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I don't eat dog either, Yeah, but do you consider
a dog to be a filthy animal.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy,
but they're definitely dirty.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But dogs got personality.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Personality goes the wrong way.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality,
he ceased to be filthy animal.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Is that true?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Well, we have to be talking about one.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I mean he had to be ten tasmore chiming in
that Arlod Green ankles. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Good dialogue, good writing is lost in most films. Great
films should have wonderful writing and that's one of the
things that Tarantino does so well. If you haven't seen
the movie Vengeance, it's by bj what's his name, b
(05:31):
B Jay. I can't think his name. I can't think
of his name. Guy's from New York. But it's about Texas.
It's what's set in Texas. The BJ Novak you've seen it.
The dialogue in that there's some scenes. There's some discussions
of water burger that you better not drink anything while
you're watching that movie, or you will spew them out
(05:53):
of your mouth. Like the church it laid layout to
see you. It will blow your mind how good the dialogue,
and then you will be There's an opening scene of
bj Novak and John Mayer, Uh, two buddies and they
go to party. It's kind of like a wedding crasher
type thing, uh, and they're telling stories about the their
(06:16):
their conquest. Anyway, So back to my story. So we
have this meal and then at the end of it,
they put on this plate these very beautiful hand painted
pieces of art. Well, I know that sometimes I can
(06:39):
ask questions that make people uncomfortable. So I don't know
if you can eat that art because it's honestly too pretty,
but it might be a chocolate. And it was presented
on a tape on a play with on a plate
with some macaroons. So I said, oh man, these are gorgeous, thinking,
you know, trying to trying to flush out what exactly
(07:00):
they were, and I said, wow, these are these are
really pretty. So I pick it up in hopes that
by picking it up, I might you know, if it
crumbles in my hands or when I set it back down,
if there's some color on my finger, then that means
(07:22):
that it was a chocolate. And there's maybe six of
them on the plate, along with about four my karooms,
and you if you saw them, well, I'll explain in
a minute after I decide whether to judge Michael Michael
(07:44):
Varry show. So finally I kind of hemmed and hard
around this thing. I've twisted it over in my hand.
I've held it for a while, and this couple are
very good friends of our. Sheet says, uh, it's the
best chocolates I've ever had, And I hope that my
(08:06):
body language did not reveal Oh, okay, it is a chocolate. Now.
I say that to complement the thing, because it was
truly a work of art. It was something you might
have bought at a museum. I mean it was incredibly
obviously hand painted and just it had it had a
(08:28):
like a gloss over it, like a like a you
know when they'll do classic cars or hot rod cars
and then they put I don't know what it is.
It's like a glaze over it so that it almost
seems like the color is an inch like yeah, like
a lacquer type deal. Anyway, So it was that. So
(08:51):
I bite into it. It looked like a ladybug. It
was half orange, half green, the coloring scheme on the
hump of a ladybug. And I said, wow, what is that?
And she said carrot cake. Not only did it look amazing,
(09:14):
it tasted amazing. No, we didn't then kick poor people.
I ate more. And it was an awkward situation because
I was the only one eating them. So there are
four of us at the table, and there were six
of them the and so I had my one, and
in my mind I thought, okay, if you have two,
(09:36):
not everybody can have two. But my wife every year
takes a vow, she gives up something every year. It's
an Indian thing, and so this year it's sweets. Oh,
she went ramon one year. She said, for five years,
I'm not eating meat or sweets. I thought, well, what else?
(10:00):
And she doesn't drink, so what else is there? Oh's?
And she did it for five years? She did it
anyway back to it. So I've already processed that if
I have the second one, not everybody can have two.
So it's already kind of one of those moves. But
I thought, well, none, that's not gonna eat any So
technically there's three of us, so there's two each. And
(10:24):
just so when I took my second one, I was clear.
I said, sweetheart, are you going to eat any No,
she wouldn't, but to tell them, I'm telegraphing to them
I can have the second one without overstepping the bounds.
And she said, no, you go ahead, all right? So
I hit number two. We started with six. Now there's
four left. I've had two. There's two of them. Well,
(10:46):
how do I convey? Suddenly? And I'd like another one.
So everybody's sitting and we're talking, and I'm like a child,
just focused on those chocolates. And so I waited a
little while and I kind of reached out a little.
(11:09):
Finally I picked one that was different than and I said,
I'm sorry to touch this, but I just have to
see it, and the husband said, oh, have it, okay,
So I waited, awhile, and waited, awhile. We're thirty minutes
into nobody else has eaten one except for me, and
I finally just said, I feel like it's appropriate if
(11:31):
I have a fourth one, And before long there weren't
any left, and I went home. So before I said,
where do you get these? And she says it's called
mostly chocolate, and she gives me the lady's name and
she does catering, but really it's it's a chocolate thing.
I said, okay, So ramon, let's see how much you know.
(11:56):
If I were to tell you that the maker of
these chocolate is from a place in the world that
if you go to a restaurant, I mean, if you
go to a shop anywhere in America and it's high
end chocolates, I mean three or four dollars per little
tiny chocolate, where would you guess she's from. There's two
(12:17):
countries they're most likely from. There's a number one that's
the obvious number. So okay, Switzerland, good guests. All right,
I'll give you credit. There's three places they could be from.
Not Belgium, because the Belgians do chocolates, but they don't
do them like this. Let me let me tell you
if a place, if a place sells these, not necessarily
(12:37):
makes although they do make things. It's where they're always from.
And there's a lot of these in Houston. There's probably
ten of them like this in Houston. No, it's where
people are from that will have high end chocolate shops.
They will also h it'll also be a coffee shop
and they'll have like a fresco dyning. People would be
(12:58):
sitting out and smoking cigarette. It's in the middle afternoon,
dressed to the nines in Italian clothing. The women will
be beautiful. They'll all be wearing shades. Uh. Italy is
a good guess. It's it's where you see a lot
of these people vacationing. Not sweets, not Switzerland, not Italy.
(13:21):
Focus on the chocolate. It'll be chocolates. It'll be Uh,
what's the Greek thing? I like baklava? Chuck? Yeah, they do,
Shut your filthy mouth. I'll love them. Everybody loves bahlavah.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now why do you want We're on a positive train there.
It'll always it'll be chocolates. It might even be some
real high end Italian, some gelato coffees. Germans don't do that. Lebanese.
They're always Lebanese. What are you doing? Everybody would guess Lebanese.
(14:00):
Everybody that knows anything, You don't pay attention to anything.
The number one most likely place they would be from
and they would be is Lebanese, followed by Irani. I'm
telling you, anybody that knows knows. So I looked this
place up. It's called mostly Chocolate. Their website is mostly
HTx dot com. Jump yeah, like most of it. Now
(14:23):
listen to this. I'm thinking, oh yeah, these people like
chocolates right. The woman's name is Rena Kumkagi, and it
says Rena's passion for cooking began when she was just
a child. Heyus music. Growing up in Lebanon, Rena was
taught by her mother to create delectable Lebanese dishes and pastries.
(14:46):
From working closely with her mother, her love for cooking
and food flourished. As she got older, Rena realized her
passion and natural talent for cooking was more than just
a hobby. When she crafted a pistachio filled chocolate paste.
Let me read that again, a pistachio filled chocolate pastry
(15:07):
to serve over Thanksgiving. Her friends were astounded by the
delicate texture and full flavor of her pastry, and she
was convinced to replicate the pastry for a friend's wedding.
Inspired to sharpen her craft, Rina completely specialty courses completed, sorry,
completed specialty courses with local Houston chef and chocolateear on
(15:27):
A Gomez. So this woman was a chef and a
chocolate ear We're about to talk about chocolate worse than
Somlie's do. This is like a PhD of chocolate along
with local Houston chef and chocolatear on A Gomez, and
then went on to attend the Chocolate Academy in Saint
Hyacinth in Montreal, Quebec with world renowned chocolateer Christophe Morell.
(15:54):
Y'all are getting way too serious about chocolate here, Okay,
So then it talks about her catering. Then here her son,
Rena's son, Danny Komkagi, joined the team in twenty eleven
his endless drive and passion. But blah blah blah. After
various internships studying under renowned master chopletiers in New York.
In Montreal, Danny became head chocolateer in twenty fifteen. Since
(16:19):
Sinny's gone on to win various prestigious national and international awards,
the three Dessert Grand Champion Buckal Awards at the HLSR
Houston Livestock showan Rodeo Best Bites competition for the Goat Cheese, Truffle,
Pecan Pie, Truffle and hazel Nut and pop rocks, a
first place gold finish in the International Chocolate Award America's competition,
second place silver finish in the internationals Chocolate Awards World.
(16:41):
These people are getting real serious about chocolate. Michael Mary Show, Michael,
all right, just for fun, because I can't be serious
all the time. I was sitting out back recently preparing
for the show and read and watching videos, and I
(17:04):
came across a video from a site called Space City Sports.
They have a Facebook page, and they had put together
a video of a bunch of big moments in Houston
sports history, and I thought it was fun. You'll have
to go to their site on Facebook, It's called Space
City Sports to see the video for yourself, which adds
(17:25):
a lot to it, but I think with the audio
you'll get enough of a sense. And for me, it's
just fun to go back. I mean, it's fun to
hear Rudy t talking about the heart of a champion
like that's just a great moment, right, that's a fun moment.
Professional sports is not what it used to be because
now the Left has infected it, and the athletes and
(17:48):
the coaches and the owners weren't smart enough to realize
that you're letting these people ruin your brand. Sports should
be a distraction from politics and polio and war and
famine and crime, but instead they've allowed the left to
infest it and infect it and ruin it. But anyway,
(18:13):
let's go back to a happier time and enjoy.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And we had non believers all along the way. I
have one thing to say, those non believers, here's a
grandpa right side could do it. Don't ever under us.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
You want Albarett sits center, there is Joe, Don't use
that tone to me.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Not a joke.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
That's sarcastic, contemptuous tone.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
That means you know everything because you're a man, and
I know nothing because I'm a woman.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
That is not a joke.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
That is a natural facto.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
If you're wondering, Yes, that was Bophus. That was Hank
Williams Jr. I thought I'd heard every Hank Williams Junior
song ever released. They really did. But our buddy Chance
McClain of your Heritage Film dot Com sent along something
(22:51):
he had just discovered. It was from the Simpsons, and
apparently there was an episode of the Simpsons. I wasn't
a big Simpsons watcher. I mean I've watched to clip here.
I didn't watch Seinfeld. I'm not a big TV watcher
after after a certain era, I just didn't. And uh,
Hank Williams Junior sang that jingle for the commercial advertising
(23:15):
a fictitious suv called the Kenyon EARO. Now, we just
played a few seconds of it there, but you're gonna
have to indulge me and listen to this thing. Ramone
says that if there were a real suv, then then
Jess Sebastian at Classic Chevy Sugarland would offer you the
(23:39):
best deal. Why am I where? Why am I supposed
to read this? You don't get to be the GMC
Dealer of the Year for life without offering the best deals.
Is he the GMC Dealer of the of the year
or is he Chevy?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
No, he's not?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Is he really?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Wow? Okay, Now, as you would imagine, Homer would buy
himself a Canyon Arrow, and honest truth, if if the
Canyon Arrow, which is completely fabricated, if the Canyon Arrow
had been if it was real and Hank Junior was
(24:18):
was hawking it, i'd buy it too. Here here is
Homer Simpson buying a Canyon Arrow. And then we're gonna
give you a little more of the song because it's
just too funny. The Simpsons is so good. I didn't
really watch much of it, but it really is so good.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Canonai, I had drew all your watch. You can't hurt
that finish. Now, rain water, that'll strip it right off set. Oh,
I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Down by Gil, you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Could I buy that?
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Well, if you really hot dog a sail, I'll take
it from here. Gil.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
No, wait, God, no, you can't take my sale. My
wife's gonna leave me if I don't start bringing in
the green.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Come on, let me have this one.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Stand.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm begging you. Look at me. I'm begging you.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Stan.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Let's go right this up, shall we?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Honey?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
You should have seen me with my last customer. No,
but I came so close. This guy was whose voice

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Fred?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
You said it was over?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
No, don't put him on it?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hello Fred?
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Ha Hi. Okay, you've got the undercoating, clear coating, rustproofing, underguard, spray,
gravel guard x jay viticeal repels it.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
But if you want to protect the paint, you better keep.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
It a mistent will do.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Okay, here's how your lease breaks down. This is your
down payment. Then here's your monthly, and there's your weekly.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
And that's it, right yep.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
Oh. Then after your final monthly payment, there's the routine
CBP or crippling balloon payment.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
But that's not for a while, right right, sweet.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Sorry Homer, we thought you were one of those hot
to tron soccer moms. Yeah, you don't see many men
driving the F series. See instead of a cigarette light,
it's got a lipstick holder.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Ah crap, it's a girl's car. I can't drive this.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Oh sure you can, Dollphace
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Pretty thing like you can do whatever she WANTSA screw you, guys,
We had dinner with some friends last night, and at
the end of the dinner, they they're very healthy people,
and you know, small portions, very healthy foods.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
They're not. They didn't grow up like I did. There's
no fried chicken here, right. We're not priding ourselves on
how much we eat, so I have to be on
my best behavior. Food was phenomenal. I had chicken. My
wife had fish. My wife would eat fish at every meal.
She could not me, not me. If I'm eating fish,
(00:34):
it's going to be fried yep. And you know, where
was I the other day? Where was I? The other day?
I could not get fried catfish? And I could not
believe they would not They did not have fried No,
it wasn't Dante's third level of Hell. It was somewhere
(00:59):
that I I would have expected. And they said, no,
we have drum, but not catfish. I don't want drum. Yeah,
the drums. One lives at his girlfriend's house. Uh what
what where was that? Hold on? Let me think about this.
The other day it was me and non though, and
(01:21):
I decide I'm going to have Oh, I can't remember anyway.
Did I ever tell you my story about Charles Clark
at brassfreet nineteen. So a lot of restaurants, if you
go in and ask for catfish, which what I grew
up on, they will make comments like ew, I've been
(01:45):
told by a restaurant owner I will not name when
I said, how come I don't fry catfish? That catfish
is a trash food? Be that as it may. We
can start listen. Your wife's got a tattoo that's begun
to sag. Let's not kidd. I don't know who said
(02:06):
that to me, and I don't know if that person
that was it. I shouldn't say that because whoever it
was probably listening to the show, and I'll be accused
of insulting his wife when that's not what I'm meant
to do. But anyway, I have been told before that
catfish is a trash food, which I think is ridiculous.
Catfish is a delicious food. It's a bottom feeder. Wait
a second, what fish are you eating? And do they
(02:30):
just did they just float on top of the water.
Anything beneath the surface is beneath them? Literally, Ah, bottom feeder?
What does that even mean? When you're eating the flesh
of a fish, what are you Yes, it's a bottom feeder.
(02:50):
What do you think I'm down there nibbling on the
bottom of the lake. What kind of stupid people have
I said? Yeah, it's vegan. What do I care? Honestly?
What do I care? If you really want to get
down into your food source, whether meat based, fish based,
(03:16):
or whatever else. And before you tell me how nasty
pigs are, let me fry you some bacon and you
have some of it, and you tell me how nasty
that pig was. Whoa, Let me get you a delicious
pork chop. Mm and let's talk about how honestly, But anyway,
(03:36):
can I need to get back to my fish? What? Yep?
Plus some bacon?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Man, I don't eat pork.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Are you Jewish?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I ain't Jewish. I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Why not hold on the delivery of John Travolta in
the way he says, are you Jewish? Like half kind
of jack happened at him, but half kind of asking
knowing good and well he's not. Travolta in this role
is so good and it's so different than the way
(04:10):
he's sort of off handles Are you Jewish? Do they
get what's a bacon?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Man, I don't eat four Are you jewish?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Ain't jewish? I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Why not pigs are filthy animals? I don't eat filthy animals.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Yeah, my bacon tastes good.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Poork chops taste good.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Hey, sword rat may taste like punkin pie.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But I never know, because I wouldn't eat the filthiness.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Pigs sleep and group, and that's a filthy animal.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I ain't even nothing. Ain't got sense enough to disregard
its own ccs.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But a dog, dog eats his own feces.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I don't eat dog either, Yeah, but do you consider
a dog to be a filthy animal.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy,
but they're definitely dirty.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But dogs got personality.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Personality goes the wrong way.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality,
he ceased to be filthy animal.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Is that true?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Well, we have to be talking about one.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I mean he had to be ten tasmore chiming in
that Arlod Green ankles. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Good dialogue, good writing is lost in most films. Great
films should have wonderful writing and that's one of the
things that Tarantino does so well. If you haven't seen
the movie Vengeance, it's by bj what's his name, b
(05:31):
B Jay. I can't think his name. I can't think
of his name. Guy's from New York. But it's about Texas.
It's what's set in Texas. The BJ Novak you've seen it.
The dialogue in that there's some scenes. There's some discussions
of water burger that you better not drink anything while
you're watching that movie, or you will spew them out
(05:53):
of your mouth. Like the church it laid layout to
see you. It will blow your mind how good the dialogue,
and then you will be There's an opening scene of
bj Novak and John Mayer, Uh, two buddies and they
go to party. It's kind of like a wedding crasher
type thing, uh, and they're telling stories about the their
(06:16):
their conquest. Anyway, So back to my story. So we
have this meal and then at the end of it,
they put on this plate these very beautiful hand painted
pieces of art. Well, I know that sometimes I can
(06:39):
ask questions that make people uncomfortable. So I don't know
if you can eat that art because it's honestly too pretty,
but it might be a chocolate. And it was presented
on a tape on a play with on a plate
with some macaroons. So I said, oh man, these are gorgeous, thinking,
you know, trying to trying to flush out what exactly
(07:00):
they were, and I said, wow, these are these are
really pretty. So I pick it up in hopes that
by picking it up, I might you know, if it
crumbles in my hands or when I set it back down,
if there's some color on my finger, then that means
(07:22):
that it was a chocolate. And there's maybe six of
them on the plate, along with about four my karooms,
and you if you saw them, well, I'll explain in
a minute after I decide whether to judge Michael Michael
(07:44):
Varry show. So finally I kind of hemmed and hard
around this thing. I've twisted it over in my hand.
I've held it for a while, and this couple are
very good friends of our. Sheet says, uh, it's the
best chocolates I've ever had, And I hope that my
(08:06):
body language did not reveal Oh, okay, it is a chocolate. Now.
I say that to complement the thing, because it was
truly a work of art. It was something you might
have bought at a museum. I mean it was incredibly
obviously hand painted and just it had it had a
(08:28):
like a gloss over it, like a like a you
know when they'll do classic cars or hot rod cars
and then they put I don't know what it is.
It's like a glaze over it so that it almost
seems like the color is an inch like yeah, like
a lacquer type deal. Anyway, So it was that. So
(08:51):
I bite into it. It looked like a ladybug. It
was half orange, half green, the coloring scheme on the
hump of a ladybug. And I said, wow, what is that?
And she said carrot cake. Not only did it look amazing,
(09:14):
it tasted amazing. No, we didn't then kick poor people.
I ate more. And it was an awkward situation because
I was the only one eating them. So there are
four of us at the table, and there were six
of them the and so I had my one, and
in my mind I thought, okay, if you have two,
(09:36):
not everybody can have two. But my wife every year
takes a vow, she gives up something every year. It's
an Indian thing, and so this year it's sweets. Oh,
she went ramon one year. She said, for five years,
I'm not eating meat or sweets. I thought, well, what else?
(10:00):
And she doesn't drink, so what else is there? Oh's?
And she did it for five years? She did it
anyway back to it. So I've already processed that if
I have the second one, not everybody can have two.
So it's already kind of one of those moves. But
I thought, well, none, that's not gonna eat any So
technically there's three of us, so there's two each. And
(10:24):
just so when I took my second one, I was clear.
I said, sweetheart, are you going to eat any No,
she wouldn't, but to tell them, I'm telegraphing to them
I can have the second one without overstepping the bounds.
And she said, no, you go ahead, all right? So
I hit number two. We started with six. Now there's
four left. I've had two. There's two of them. Well,
(10:46):
how do I convey? Suddenly? And I'd like another one.
So everybody's sitting and we're talking, and I'm like a child,
just focused on those chocolates. And so I waited a
little while and I kind of reached out a little.
(11:09):
Finally I picked one that was different than and I said,
I'm sorry to touch this, but I just have to
see it, and the husband said, oh, have it, okay,
So I waited, awhile, and waited, awhile. We're thirty minutes
into nobody else has eaten one except for me, and
I finally just said, I feel like it's appropriate if
(11:31):
I have a fourth one, And before long there weren't
any left, and I went home. So before I said,
where do you get these? And she says it's called
mostly chocolate, and she gives me the lady's name and
she does catering, but really it's it's a chocolate thing.
I said, okay, So ramon, let's see how much you know.
(11:56):
If I were to tell you that the maker of
these chocolate is from a place in the world that
if you go to a restaurant, I mean, if you
go to a shop anywhere in America and it's high
end chocolates, I mean three or four dollars per little
tiny chocolate, where would you guess she's from. There's two
(12:17):
countries they're most likely from. There's a number one that's
the obvious number. So okay, Switzerland, good guests. All right,
I'll give you credit. There's three places they could be from.
Not Belgium, because the Belgians do chocolates, but they don't
do them like this. Let me let me tell you
if a place, if a place sells these, not necessarily
(12:37):
makes although they do make things. It's where they're always from.
And there's a lot of these in Houston. There's probably
ten of them like this in Houston. No, it's where
people are from that will have high end chocolate shops.
They will also h it'll also be a coffee shop
and they'll have like a fresco dyning. People would be
(12:58):
sitting out and smoking cigarette. It's in the middle afternoon,
dressed to the nines in Italian clothing. The women will
be beautiful. They'll all be wearing shades. Uh. Italy is
a good guess. It's it's where you see a lot
of these people vacationing. Not sweets, not Switzerland, not Italy.
(13:21):
Focus on the chocolate. It'll be chocolates. It'll be Uh,
what's the Greek thing? I like baklava? Chuck? Yeah, they do,
Shut your filthy mouth. I'll love them. Everybody loves bahlavah.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now why do you want We're on a positive train there.
It'll always it'll be chocolates. It might even be some
real high end Italian, some gelato coffees. Germans don't do that. Lebanese.
They're always Lebanese. What are you doing? Everybody would guess Lebanese.
(14:00):
Everybody that knows anything, You don't pay attention to anything.
The number one most likely place they would be from
and they would be is Lebanese, followed by Irani. I'm
telling you, anybody that knows knows. So I looked this
place up. It's called mostly Chocolate. Their website is mostly
HTx dot com. Jump yeah, like most of it. Now
(14:23):
listen to this. I'm thinking, oh yeah, these people like
chocolates right. The woman's name is Rena Kumkagi, and it
says Rena's passion for cooking began when she was just
a child. Heyus music. Growing up in Lebanon, Rena was
taught by her mother to create delectable Lebanese dishes and pastries.
(14:46):
From working closely with her mother, her love for cooking
and food flourished. As she got older, Rena realized her
passion and natural talent for cooking was more than just
a hobby. When she crafted a pistachio filled chocolate paste.
Let me read that again, a pistachio filled chocolate pastry
(15:07):
to serve over Thanksgiving. Her friends were astounded by the
delicate texture and full flavor of her pastry, and she
was convinced to replicate the pastry for a friend's wedding.
Inspired to sharpen her craft, Rina completely specialty courses completed, sorry,
completed specialty courses with local Houston chef and chocolateear on
(15:27):
A Gomez. So this woman was a chef and a
chocolate ear We're about to talk about chocolate worse than
Somlie's do. This is like a PhD of chocolate along
with local Houston chef and chocolatear on A Gomez, and
then went on to attend the Chocolate Academy in Saint
Hyacinth in Montreal, Quebec with world renowned chocolateer Christophe Morell.
(15:54):
Y'all are getting way too serious about chocolate here, Okay,
So then it talks about her catering. Then here her son,
Rena's son, Danny Komkagi, joined the team in twenty eleven
his endless drive and passion. But blah blah blah. After
various internships studying under renowned master chopletiers in New York.
In Montreal, Danny became head chocolateer in twenty fifteen. Since
(16:19):
Sinny's gone on to win various prestigious national and international awards,
the three Dessert Grand Champion Buckal Awards at the HLSR
Houston Livestock showan Rodeo Best Bites competition for the Goat Cheese, Truffle,
Pecan Pie, Truffle and hazel Nut and pop rocks, a
first place gold finish in the International Chocolate Award America's competition,
second place silver finish in the internationals Chocolate Awards World.
(16:41):
These people are getting real serious about chocolate. Michael Mary Show, Michael,
all right, just for fun, because I can't be serious
all the time. I was sitting out back recently preparing
for the show and read and watching videos, and I
(17:04):
came across a video from a site called Space City Sports.
They have a Facebook page, and they had put together
a video of a bunch of big moments in Houston
sports history, and I thought it was fun. You'll have
to go to their site on Facebook, It's called Space
City Sports to see the video for yourself, which adds
(17:25):
a lot to it, but I think with the audio
you'll get enough of a sense. And for me, it's
just fun to go back. I mean, it's fun to
hear Rudy t talking about the heart of a champion
like that's just a great moment, right, that's a fun moment.
Professional sports is not what it used to be because
now the Left has infected it, and the athletes and
(17:48):
the coaches and the owners weren't smart enough to realize
that you're letting these people ruin your brand. Sports should
be a distraction from politics and polio and war and
famine and crime, but instead they've allowed the left to
infest it and infect it and ruin it. But anyway,
(18:13):
let's go back to a happier time and enjoy.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And we had non believers all along the way. I
have one thing to say, those non believers, here's a
grandpa right side could do it. Don't ever under us.
Speaker 4 (18:27):

Speaker 6 (21:45):
That's what it is. Gone when they have strange w
all third put by BREDBANDI shrows for the world series Er.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
You want Albarett sits center, there is Joe, Don't use
that tone to me.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Not a joke.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
That's sarcastic, contemptuous tone.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
That means you know everything because you're a man, and
I know nothing because I'm a woman.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
That is not a joke.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
That is a natural facto.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
If you're wondering, Yes, that was Bophus. That was Hank
Williams Jr. I thought I'd heard every Hank Williams Junior
song ever released. They really did. But our buddy Chance
McClain of your Heritage Film dot Com sent along something
(22:51):
he had just discovered. It was from the Simpsons, and
apparently there was an episode of the Simpsons. I wasn't
a big Simpsons watcher. I mean I've watched to clip here.
I didn't watch Seinfeld. I'm not a big TV watcher
after after a certain era, I just didn't. And uh,
Hank Williams Junior sang that jingle for the commercial advertising
(23:15):
a fictitious suv called the Kenyon EARO. Now, we just
played a few seconds of it there, but you're gonna
have to indulge me and listen to this thing. Ramone
says that if there were a real suv, then then
Jess Sebastian at Classic Chevy Sugarland would offer you the
(23:39):
best deal. Why am I where? Why am I supposed
to read this? You don't get to be the GMC
Dealer of the Year for life without offering the best deals.
Is he the GMC Dealer of the of the year
or is he Chevy?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
No, he's not?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Is he really?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Wow? Okay, Now, as you would imagine, Homer would buy
himself a Canyon Arrow, and honest truth, if if the
Canyon Arrow, which is completely fabricated, if the Canyon Arrow
had been if it was real and Hank Junior was
(24:18):
was hawking it, i'd buy it too. Here here is
Homer Simpson buying a Canyon Arrow. And then we're gonna
give you a little more of the song because it's
just too funny. The Simpsons is so good. I didn't
really watch much of it, but it really is so good.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Canonai, I had drew all your watch. You can't hurt
that finish. Now, rain water, that'll strip it right off set. Oh,
I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Down by Gil, you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Could I buy that?
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Well, if you really hot dog a sail, I'll take
it from here. Gil.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
No, wait, God, no, you can't take my sale. My
wife's gonna leave me if I don't start bringing in
the green.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
Come on, let me have this one.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Stand.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm begging you. Look at me. I'm begging you.
Speaker 3 (25:19):

Speaker 7 (25:20):
Let's go right this up, shall we?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Honey?
Speaker 4 (25:26):
You should have seen me with my last customer. No,
but I came so close. This guy was whose voice

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Fred?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
You said it was over?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
No, don't put him on it?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hello Fred?

CBP or crippling balloon payment.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
But that's not for a while, right right, sweet.
Speaker 5 (26:19):

to tron soccer moms. Yeah, you don't see many men
driving the F series. See instead of a cigarette light,
