Speaker 5 (04:56):
Love me, the be good guy.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Did you know that nuns love Bruce Willis? Yeah, apparently
they do, because old habits die hard. My doctor joyfully
examined my skin using a telescope. He said it was
(05:35):
a site for soriasis. I did go to the allergist yesterday.
I have an allergist my wife has used for years,
and I really, really liked this guy. I hadn't done
that test since I was in high school, you know
where that they call it scratching your back, But this
(05:57):
little needle pinpricks, and you know, I am a seeber.
I am from my mother's lineage. When we have something
wrong with us, we like it to be, you know,
the worst case they've ever seen. So we did have
that and it was not surprisingly dust mites. Apparently dust
mites is a big deal. But what worried me is
(06:17):
after making so much fun of Eddie Martini and his
banana and avocado allergy and wondering how on earth, you know,
like I thought, well, what did I come back with
an allergy? I did not have a single food allergy.
They first do the scratch test and then they do
the deeper then they go and that's the ones that
you have the big allergy to because even just a
(06:37):
little bit of it. And then they round two is
they inject everything that you didn't have. Because they inject
the things you did have, you know, you could start
closing off the airways and that sort of stuff. So
we went for so I'll go back for the bigger tests.
And that's some things that have kind of a latent allergy.
But they don't pop up on the first one. But
(06:59):
my big ones were US Mike's Grass and I don't
remember which which the other one was. It's all written down,
what empathy? You think I'm allergic to empathy? You're stupid.
That's kind of almost halfway funny. All right, it's open
(07:19):
line Friday. If you've been wanting on you can, you can.
You can share what you truly believe. You can state
to your favorite thing of what Trump has done. You
can whatever it is you want to do. A friend
of mine sent me a clip of Gutfeld. I guess
(07:39):
it was last night. You know that US A I
D all these expenditures which are which are should be criminal.
They sent twenty million dollars to Iraq to make an
Iraqi Sesame Street. No, Joe, that's not the punchline. And
my buddy said that. Guttfeld said on the first episode,
the cookie monster got his hands cut off for stealing cookies.
(08:01):
That's pretty good, right there. That's pretty good. All right,
Open up Friday seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand.
You can email us through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.
But we love to hear from you seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand, and you move to the front of the line.
If you were over eighty today, well well, well lucky you.
The Michael Ferry Show continues. Let's mystery your lucky day.
(08:27):
It feels like a month of Mondays since I had
a break.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Sometimes tell myself when I had.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
All I could take Fridays come.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
In just like that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's gonna come back and ride.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Gotta keep one run in.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I can't let trouble the ground our beddy to feel
that feeling. That's then you look at chicks back.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Singing, damn a tour. Hegoes, oh, really, little Tito. The
North American Prospect Expo started in nineteen ninety two. That
is where the movers and shakers, suppliers, vendors, investors in
(09:18):
oil and gas, the energy that powers all of us gather.
It's a big deal to a greater Houston community and
it's going on now and a lot of restaurants around town.
We had some of our folks in radio who Eddie
(09:39):
Martinez was hosting a couple of nights ago, and so
obviously they held it a Federal American grill and I
had a bunch of friends who were hosting events at
Federal American Grill for NAPE as it's called. So if
for some reason you ended up in Houston at NAPE
and you ended up on our show just moving around
(10:00):
the dial, welcome to our community. It is a good
reminder how important energy is not only to the Houston
and the Texas as well as Louisiana economies, but to
every single American as a consumer. And if you've got
a four to oh one k, whether you're a school teacher,
(10:22):
a police officer, a clerk at a company, if you're
putting money away every month so that you'll have some
when you retire, I guarantee you that the most stable
asset in your portfolio is your energy stocks. And when
these leftists start trashing those companies, I wonder how many
(10:43):
people realize that what they're doing is saying, I want
to knock out that person's retirement. I think if people
understood that, there'd be a lot more pushback. Why would
you want to hurt arguably our most important asset in industry,
not just as a job employer, but as a stable
financial stock and as consumers. I remember the first time
(11:06):
I went to India, my father in law had a
little bit of car called him Maruti, and the Japanese
had uh had a partnership with the Indian government where
they could make these little It was Suzuki. It was
a Suzuki frame chassis, the whole thing, but they slapped
an Indian name on it because India had a lot
of protectionism. And it was a little bit of car
(11:28):
because you don't want a big car in India you're
so crowded. And we pulled over to get gas and uh,
there wasn't a gas station on every corner like we
have here. And I remember he bought the gas by
the was it the leader? It wasn't the gallon. It
(11:49):
was much smaller than a gallon. And so I'm quizzing
him as I do everybody, and he was good with it,
or pretended to be, and it was you know, he
got however many so gas was x and a mount
per leader and it was rupees. So I had to
take the rupee price and convert it to dollars and
then figure out how many leaders were in a gallon
and it was something like fifteen dollars a gallon for gas.
(12:13):
And my father in law was career Air Force and
he was just retiring at the time, and they he
wasn't rich by any stretch and by American standards, so
it would be poor. And I remember thinking fifteen dollars
a gallon, Well, India doesn't explore refine gas petroleum gasoline
(12:35):
the end product. And I remember thinking, Wow, what a
difference that make. You can't just drive all over because
it's cost prohibitive. It affects what kind of vehicle you
can drive. For those of you who remember Opek and
the seventy three oil crisis, that was when the land
yachts that were so great for America kind of went
away because nobody wanted to fuel the damn things anyway.
(12:58):
So welcome to the folks Nape. If you are in town,
we are delighted to have you.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Ramon.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You got anybody eighty or above? Oh Carolyn, is it
Carolyn or Caroline?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Carolyn?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Carolyn? Okay, wait, sweetheart, are you eighty? Yes, you don't
sound eighty.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Well that happened Monday, and I was not real happy
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But you know, oh, sweetheart, my mom didn't make eighty.
Be grateful. Now, this isn't one of those deals like
when we would go to the movies, and my mom
would make me lie about my age because we got
in free. Is it you're not puffing it up just
so you could move to the front of the line.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I am not, okay, I would like to.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
All right, what year were you born?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Nineteen forty five?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Okay, she's a legitimate ron, don't no.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
My birthday is two, three, four or five?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh, how cool is that? February third, so four days ago.
Where do you live, Carolyn?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
In the northwest Houston.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Like Jersey Village, Copperfield are Oh that's a nice area.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
It is.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Have you called the show before?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I have not?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, seemed like those facts were that I didn't want to,
but yeah, well you sure don't sound eighty.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
What do you do, Carolyn? Are you? Are you at school? No?
Speaker 6 (14:33):
School? No? No? I work full time for a company
that sells cookie towns and popcorn cans.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Oh, I like you already? A friends? Are the friends
of Carolyn?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Do?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
They? Kind of? Everybody's like, oh, yeah, that's a good
thing about Carolyn. Because when we were young and somebody
would first get a job, you'd want them to get
a job like at Bluebell or something, you know, where
they could you know some extra bluebell would arrive at
your house? You always wanted to be, Yeah, yeah, Do
you sell them or what do you do?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
We have a customer base that really is all over
the United States some foreign countries, but we sell the
food packaging to retailers, people who have popcorn shops cookie shops?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Are there a lot of those out there?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
There are.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Really everybody that you know that sells cookies or popcorn
or candy.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yes, okay, hey, let me ask you a question. I
got an email this week and I didn't know the
answer to it. This guy sells fluids, like drilling fluids
and different I think Downhold lubricant type fluids. And they
wanted a local. They want a Houston area printer that
(15:51):
could print their name because I think it's their own concoction.
They could print their name on the bottles and the cans.
Do y'all have a print? Carolyn? You're just a great call.
Hold on just a moment. The only thing I worry
when you start so strong is you know nowhere to
go but down from Michael's brain, every single one of them,
(16:12):
to your ears. This is the Michael Berry shell.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
I got my mother and I researched for kor. Sandy
Peterson said, gas prices in Europe. My story about the
first time I filled up my car when I was
living in the Netherlands. I was driving a Pougeot hatchback
and that was bad enough because the gas cap was
really weird. It was a process to get it back
to get it off. I pulled up at the shell
station and was shocked to find that they were still
(16:45):
selling leaded gas, and I was really confused about which
pump to use own galued not galued. Once I got
that sorted out, I started to figure out how much
gas was and I was really pleased to see that
it was only one.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Gilder per lid. I hadn't they hadn't gone to the
euro yet, and the exchange rate was five guilders to
the dollar. But when I did the math, that was
sixteen dollars a gallon in a country that at that
time did produce their own oil and gas. You know,
people don't realize the cost of goods that we need,
(17:18):
the wage rates, the retirement returns, these are all based
on decisions, and yet most people don't under many people,
most many people don't understand that the decisions you make
are going to make those decisions down the line. And
that's why you don't choose people based on the fact
that they're a girl, or they talk pretty, or that
(17:40):
guy's mean. Carolyn, You're the call of the day. Did
you know that?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Probably the first call?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well? Yeah, but I don't think. I really don't think
anybody's going to top you. I'm serious. I like you
so much. I did something I never do. I wrote
your number down on the side, not to creep out
you later, but I wrote your number down and winter
break in case you fell off, so that we could
track you back and put you back on.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Oh, well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Are you married? Are you married?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Not any longer? No? Sadly?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Did you lose your husband?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
You know some? Yes, I did a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How many?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I'm six six years ago to what.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
He had a heart attack widow maker. Yes, so it
was Did you have any idea that there was anything wrong?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Just a few weeks before.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
There were a few hints, but but we know that
looking back at the time, you didn't have any idea,
did you No? How long were you all together?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Not about six and a half years?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, so not long.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
But he was an absolute sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh was it name.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
David?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
David? That's rough. That window maker's rough because you don't
get any chance. You know, it's hard when someone has
a lengthy process, but at least you get to say goodbye. Yes,
so tell me about what's the name of this company
where you work? Carolyn? You know what, let's just do
(19:23):

Speaker 6 (19:31):

tens and nobody uses tins as a very English thing.

Oh, yes, here it is. It's probably a picture of Carolyn.
It's the most Where do they make them? Are these

there he was stationed at Doping.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Carolyn, if we do our senior version of our date Night,
would you come out because you'd be apprized. This'd be
like Ladies' night. You know the bars they give specials
to the girls because if the girls come, the boys
will come. And and then how did you end up
in Houston?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Oh? Well, my parents were here. Uh, once daddy got
out of the service and did his transition out to civilians.
Because they were both raised here in Laporte and San Antonio.
They ended up here and I was just I was
(23:45):
raised here in the East End, went Toddie Junior High
and Milbury High School, Okay, and then well, and then
I got married and lived all over Texas and raised
those boys, and moved to Oregon in the early eighties.
And actually my little son stayed in Oregon. That's where
(24:07):
he met his sweetheart. They've raised three boys. He's in
law enforcement, Okay, in Portland almost thirty years. No, in Roseburg,
Central Oregon. I love two of his sons or yet
two of his sons are in law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Oregon was supposed to be our first affiliate, but ended
up being our second affiliate because button Baton rouge. But
the way it was going to work is the market
storages and you have time to stay with us, old.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Flakes.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I don't know what we gon fill these tins with.
If you look at all these tens, we're gonna have
tins everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Just loss of hands.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It was in the spring, the spring that came. Unless
you forgot to remind me to play the weekend review.
I believe comis to that time. Carolyn, What exactly do
you do for the Holiday Teens company? What is your
(25:25):
exact role?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Well, we don't have titles, and I answer the sign.
I do some accounting, I do sales, I pack orders.
I managed the retail side of the business, which is
online for consumers. Here's a bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
And how long have you worked there?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
A very long time, probably close to twenty years. And
I'd have to look at the records to be sure.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Is this locally owned? Because it looks like national company.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
It is it is?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
And who owns it?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
He probably would not want me to say his name.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Why he's about his website's about to crash with all
the business rigzone went down last week. He said, oh
my god, it took us a while to get the
site back.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Okay, Well, for consumers, people who want to buy a
few cans, they're not reselling, they need to go to
cookietens dot com. Now you do, yeah, Well, but if
you're reselling, you're a product, then you can come to
Holiday Tens. Okay, I'm at Cookie, but if you're packing
(26:43):
cookies for your college grandson, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Going there because that's the retail price. I want the
wholesale price. I know what you're doing.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Everybody does. Everybody does, so there is you're doing as well.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I don't know if if you've ever heard of it,
but they're there's a woman. There's a cookie product called
missus Haynes Moravian Cookies. Y'all may make their tins. So
I'm on the Cookie tins dot com. And in the
bottom right there is the tin. It's about four inches
tall and it's about the size of my mother's pound cake.
(27:21):
And it looks like that exact tin. It's a red tin.
And you open it up and Carolyn, I'll get your
address and send you some's. Have you ever had Moravian cookies.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
It's been a very long time.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay. They are They are sliced. They are so thin
that when you put it, the problem with it is
you can't eat just one. They melt in your mouth.
I don't know how they stay together because they don't crumble.
They arrive and they're not broken. They are the most
amazing cookies I've ever had, and so I used to
(27:55):
send them out. You get them online. It's they're out
of the family lives. I believe in North Carolina. But
Missus Haynes is the matriarch of this big family and
they've been doing this for probably forty years. And the
Moravians are a people. They're they're kind of like the
(28:18):
I don't know, like maybe the Amish in Pennsylvania. They're
they're they're from They're from a region of Czechoslovakia. And
the best I can tell is you want to have
a lot of Moravians in your country, because you know,
they're they're very they're very family oriented, very kind people.
(28:38):
They they seem to be. Everything I've ever read about
them is you'd rather have more of that and fewer
thugs and hoodlums and and uh trenda arragua kind of things.
But anyway that that can made me think of it,
I'm going to send you some and then you call
back and I will have forgotten that I did it,
and you say that you're Carolyn and that you're going
(28:59):
to oh, well, you know what I gotta give you.
I gotta see which one you want, because I like
the cinnamon. Let's see it. But they also have a
like a walnut. Here we go, Missus Haynes, Moravian cookies,
and I'm gonna get you the flavors. A yn no, sweetie,
(29:20):
I got this h A N E s. They're they're
just Oh, let's see. I'm gonna look at their flavors
and we'll see which one you want. I'm gonna send
you some for Valentine's Day. I wish we could go
back to second grade, Carolyn, where you know you could
have Valentine's that weren't your Valentine Valentine, you know what
(29:42):
I mean. So you could be my Valentine. But we
wouldn't get in trouble, you know what I'm saying. Yes, Okay,
here we go. Okay, the black walnut is delightful. The
butterscot forgot about the butters You like butterscotch?
Speaker 6 (29:58):
I do a few people I know like it, but
I do I don't. I don't get it very often.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
But yes, you remember Bras candy. I don't guess Bracts
made a little butterscotch. And I just have fond memories
of like if we were going into a funeral, somehow
I'd end up with. That was before we had phones
and things to keep us busy. I'd grab myself a
couple of butterscotches. And if you're sitting at the funeral,
(30:25):
but then your mother would turn and look at you
because you were unwrapping it too loud. Okay, Ginger is
the one that is really good. Let's see lemon. The
lemon is very good also, and then the straight sugar,
the straight the sugar cookie is pretty special as well.
(30:47):
And let's see if I think that's it, which one
of those do you want?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Can we do Ginger?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yes? Because that was my original.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
My wife had a law professor named Craig Joyce, and
somehow he knew Missus Haynes and he sent us that
for Christmas. And my wife started law school at ninety two,
so we probably got it ninety two. And for at
least ten years we would send about ten different people
a ten of Missus Haynes Moravian cookies. And then I
(31:20):
changed assistance, and my assistant was the one that handled
getting all that done because a lot of logistics to
you know, coordinate all this stuff. And then and I
just never I never I never got I never replaced that,
and I went back about two years ago and this
year that year, I just ordered some for myself. I
didn't send anybody else in. And Sharon, did you get
(31:41):
one or more sometimes. Oh yeah, goodness, they're just absolutely wonderful. Yes,
hold on it. I'm gonna get your address and i'll
send them to you from there. Now they're high, they're
they're quite proud of them, I have to tell you that.
But they're I think they're worth it. They're they're wonderful.
(32:02):
I don't know how long their shelf stable, but they
don't last anyway.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Well, I was going to say, if you eat them
up quickly.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well, and you know what my problem with cookies, Carolyn,
I don't know if you have this problem. My problem
with cookies is a lot of people nowadays, they want
to pile so many things into the cookie. I am
a stripped down yes, And so what I like about
these if you did just eat one, you wouldn't have
(32:32):
to you know, you could eat one ten minutes before
dinner and it wouldn't hurt you because it's so way
for thinners, just just like a sliver, almost see through them.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
All right, hold on them, exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I don't know if I've tried the butterscotch I love,
but you don't like butterscotch, Okay, I do, don't know.
Ramon doesn't like, oh, butterscotch.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Oh yeah, because he hadn't tried.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know what else was good that I've never had
anything as good as it is a little caramel. I
think it was made by bracts or seas or whatever.
And it was just, you know, about a half inch
by half inch and it was like a caramel. It
was a light brown and it had a clear Oh
my goodness, those things. It would kind of turn into
gum there at the end. It would kind of turn
gooey by the end of it. Oh boy, those were good.
(33:25):
We don't eat enough candy, like old fashioned candy anymore.
I went to the doctor the other day and he
had candy in his mouth. That's the weirdest thing. But
I was sort of jealous.
It's that time time time time, lucking load. The Michael
Arry Show is on the air. Oh, yes it is.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It is a happy day. You're here, we're here, old
gangs here, we get we get another day together. Trump's

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Love me, the be good guy.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Did you know that nuns love Bruce Willis? Yeah, apparently
they do, because old habits die hard. My doctor joyfully
examined my skin using a telescope. He said it was
(05:35):
a site for soriasis. I did go to the allergist yesterday.
I have an allergist my wife has used for years,
and I really, really liked this guy. I hadn't done
that test since I was in high school, you know
where that they call it scratching your back, But this
(05:57):
little needle pinpricks, and you know, I am a seeber.
I am from my mother's lineage. When we have something
wrong with us, we like it to be, you know,
the worst case they've ever seen. So we did have
that and it was not surprisingly dust mites. Apparently dust
mites is a big deal. But what worried me is
(06:17):
after making so much fun of Eddie Martini and his
banana and avocado allergy and wondering how on earth, you know,
like I thought, well, what did I come back with
an allergy? I did not have a single food allergy.
They first do the scratch test and then they do
the deeper then they go and that's the ones that
you have the big allergy to because even just a
(06:37):
little bit of it. And then they round two is
they inject everything that you didn't have. Because they inject
the things you did have, you know, you could start
closing off the airways and that sort of stuff. So
we went for so I'll go back for the bigger tests.
And that's some things that have kind of a latent allergy.
But they don't pop up on the first one. But
(06:59):
my big ones were US Mike's Grass and I don't
remember which which the other one was. It's all written down,
what empathy? You think I'm allergic to empathy? You're stupid.
That's kind of almost halfway funny. All right, it's open
(07:19):
line Friday. If you've been wanting on you can, you can.
You can share what you truly believe. You can state
to your favorite thing of what Trump has done. You
can whatever it is you want to do. A friend
of mine sent me a clip of Gutfeld. I guess
(07:39):
it was last night. You know that US A I
D all these expenditures which are which are should be criminal.
They sent twenty million dollars to Iraq to make an
Iraqi Sesame Street. No, Joe, that's not the punchline. And
my buddy said that. Guttfeld said on the first episode,
the cookie monster got his hands cut off for stealing cookies.
(08:01):
That's pretty good, right there. That's pretty good. All right,
Open up Friday seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand.
You can email us through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.
But we love to hear from you seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand, and you move to the front of the line.
If you were over eighty today, well well, well lucky you.
The Michael Ferry Show continues. Let's mystery your lucky day.
(08:27):
It feels like a month of Mondays since I had
a break.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Sometimes tell myself when I had.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
All I could take Fridays come.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
In just like that.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's gonna come back and ride.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Gotta keep one run in.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I can't let trouble the ground our beddy to feel
that feeling. That's then you look at chicks back.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Singing, damn a tour. Hegoes, oh, really, little Tito. The
North American Prospect Expo started in nineteen ninety two. That
is where the movers and shakers, suppliers, vendors, investors in
(09:18):
oil and gas, the energy that powers all of us gather.
It's a big deal to a greater Houston community and
it's going on now and a lot of restaurants around town.
We had some of our folks in radio who Eddie
(09:39):
Martinez was hosting a couple of nights ago, and so
obviously they held it a Federal American grill and I
had a bunch of friends who were hosting events at
Federal American Grill for NAPE as it's called. So if
for some reason you ended up in Houston at NAPE
and you ended up on our show just moving around
(10:00):
the dial, welcome to our community. It is a good
reminder how important energy is not only to the Houston
and the Texas as well as Louisiana economies, but to
every single American as a consumer. And if you've got
a four to oh one k, whether you're a school teacher,
(10:22):
a police officer, a clerk at a company, if you're
putting money away every month so that you'll have some
when you retire, I guarantee you that the most stable
asset in your portfolio is your energy stocks. And when
these leftists start trashing those companies, I wonder how many
(10:43):
people realize that what they're doing is saying, I want
to knock out that person's retirement. I think if people
understood that, there'd be a lot more pushback. Why would
you want to hurt arguably our most important asset in industry,
not just as a job employer, but as a stable
financial stock and as consumers. I remember the first time
(11:06):
I went to India, my father in law had a
little bit of car called him Maruti, and the Japanese
had uh had a partnership with the Indian government where
they could make these little It was Suzuki. It was
a Suzuki frame chassis, the whole thing, but they slapped
an Indian name on it because India had a lot
of protectionism. And it was a little bit of car
(11:28):
because you don't want a big car in India you're
so crowded. And we pulled over to get gas and uh,
there wasn't a gas station on every corner like we
have here. And I remember he bought the gas by
the was it the leader? It wasn't the gallon. It
(11:49):
was much smaller than a gallon. And so I'm quizzing
him as I do everybody, and he was good with it,
or pretended to be, and it was you know, he
got however many so gas was x and a mount
per leader and it was rupees. So I had to
take the rupee price and convert it to dollars and
then figure out how many leaders were in a gallon
and it was something like fifteen dollars a gallon for gas.
(12:13):
And my father in law was career Air Force and
he was just retiring at the time, and they he
wasn't rich by any stretch and by American standards, so
it would be poor. And I remember thinking fifteen dollars
a gallon, Well, India doesn't explore refine gas petroleum gasoline
(12:35):
the end product. And I remember thinking, Wow, what a
difference that make. You can't just drive all over because
it's cost prohibitive. It affects what kind of vehicle you
can drive. For those of you who remember Opek and
the seventy three oil crisis, that was when the land
yachts that were so great for America kind of went
away because nobody wanted to fuel the damn things anyway.
(12:58):
So welcome to the folks Nape. If you are in town,
we are delighted to have you.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Ramon.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You got anybody eighty or above? Oh Carolyn, is it
Carolyn or Caroline?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Carolyn?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Carolyn? Okay, wait, sweetheart, are you eighty? Yes, you don't
sound eighty.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Well that happened Monday, and I was not real happy
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But you know, oh, sweetheart, my mom didn't make eighty.
Be grateful. Now, this isn't one of those deals like
when we would go to the movies, and my mom
would make me lie about my age because we got
in free. Is it you're not puffing it up just
so you could move to the front of the line.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I am not, okay, I would like to.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
All right, what year were you born?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Nineteen forty five?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Okay, she's a legitimate ron, don't no.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
My birthday is two, three, four or five?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh, how cool is that? February third, so four days ago.
Where do you live, Carolyn?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
In the northwest Houston.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Like Jersey Village, Copperfield are Oh that's a nice area.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
It is.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Have you called the show before?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I have not?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, seemed like those facts were that I didn't want to,
but yeah, well you sure don't sound eighty.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
What do you do, Carolyn? Are you? Are you at school? No?
Speaker 6 (14:33):
School? No? No? I work full time for a company
that sells cookie towns and popcorn cans.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Oh, I like you already? A friends? Are the friends
of Carolyn?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Do?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
They? Kind of? Everybody's like, oh, yeah, that's a good
thing about Carolyn. Because when we were young and somebody
would first get a job, you'd want them to get
a job like at Bluebell or something, you know, where
they could you know some extra bluebell would arrive at
your house? You always wanted to be, Yeah, yeah, Do
you sell them or what do you do?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
We have a customer base that really is all over
the United States some foreign countries, but we sell the
food packaging to retailers, people who have popcorn shops cookie shops?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Are there a lot of those out there?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
There are.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Really everybody that you know that sells cookies or popcorn
or candy.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yes, okay, hey, let me ask you a question. I
got an email this week and I didn't know the
answer to it. This guy sells fluids, like drilling fluids
and different I think Downhold lubricant type fluids. And they
wanted a local. They want a Houston area printer that
(15:51):
could print their name because I think it's their own concoction.
They could print their name on the bottles and the cans.
Do y'all have a print? Carolyn? You're just a great call.
Hold on just a moment. The only thing I worry
when you start so strong is you know nowhere to
go but down from Michael's brain, every single one of them,
(16:12):
to your ears. This is the Michael Berry shell.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
I got my mother and I researched for kor. Sandy
Peterson said, gas prices in Europe. My story about the
first time I filled up my car when I was
living in the Netherlands. I was driving a Pougeot hatchback
and that was bad enough because the gas cap was
really weird. It was a process to get it back
to get it off. I pulled up at the shell
station and was shocked to find that they were still
(16:45):
selling leaded gas, and I was really confused about which
pump to use own galued not galued. Once I got
that sorted out, I started to figure out how much
gas was and I was really pleased to see that
it was only one.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Gilder per lid. I hadn't they hadn't gone to the
euro yet, and the exchange rate was five guilders to
the dollar. But when I did the math, that was
sixteen dollars a gallon in a country that at that
time did produce their own oil and gas. You know,
people don't realize the cost of goods that we need,
(17:18):
the wage rates, the retirement returns, these are all based
on decisions, and yet most people don't under many people,
most many people don't understand that the decisions you make
are going to make those decisions down the line. And
that's why you don't choose people based on the fact
that they're a girl, or they talk pretty, or that
(17:40):
guy's mean. Carolyn, You're the call of the day. Did
you know that?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Probably the first call?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well? Yeah, but I don't think. I really don't think
anybody's going to top you. I'm serious. I like you
so much. I did something I never do. I wrote
your number down on the side, not to creep out
you later, but I wrote your number down and winter
break in case you fell off, so that we could
track you back and put you back on.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Oh, well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Are you married? Are you married?
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Not any longer? No? Sadly?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Did you lose your husband?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
You know some? Yes, I did a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How many?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I'm six six years ago to what.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
He had a heart attack widow maker. Yes, so it
was Did you have any idea that there was anything wrong?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Just a few weeks before.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
There were a few hints, but but we know that
looking back at the time, you didn't have any idea,
did you No? How long were you all together?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Not about six and a half years?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, so not long.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
But he was an absolute sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh was it name.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
David?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
David? That's rough. That window maker's rough because you don't
get any chance. You know, it's hard when someone has
a lengthy process, but at least you get to say goodbye. Yes,
so tell me about what's the name of this company
where you work? Carolyn? You know what, let's just do
(19:23):
you kore? Okay, you've got a great laugh.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
The company name is Holiday Tens and Containers.

I love the word tens. My wife uses the word
tens and nobody uses tins as a very English thing.

Oh, yes, here it is. It's probably a picture of Carolyn.
It's the most Where do they make them? Are these
made in China?

Speaker 6 (22:56):
My daddy was in the Army Air Corps. Oh okay,
there he was stationed at Doping.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Carolyn, if we do our senior version of our date Night,
would you come out because you'd be apprized. This'd be
like Ladies' night. You know the bars they give specials
to the girls because if the girls come, the boys
will come. And and then how did you end up
in Houston?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Oh? Well, my parents were here. Uh, once daddy got
out of the service and did his transition out to civilians.
Because they were both raised here in Laporte and San Antonio.
They ended up here and I was just I was
(23:45):
raised here in the East End, went Toddie Junior High
and Milbury High School, Okay, and then well, and then
I got married and lived all over Texas and raised
those boys, and moved to Oregon in the early eighties.
And actually my little son stayed in Oregon. That's where
(24:07):
he met his sweetheart. They've raised three boys. He's in
law enforcement, Okay, in Portland almost thirty years. No, in Roseburg,
Central Oregon. I love two of his sons or yet
two of his sons are in law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Oregon was supposed to be our first affiliate, but ended
up being our second affiliate because button Baton rouge. But
the way it was going to work is the market
storages and you have time to stay with us, old.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Flakes.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I don't know what we gon fill these tins with.
If you look at all these tens, we're gonna have
tins everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Just loss of hands.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It was in the spring, the spring that came. Unless
you forgot to remind me to play the weekend review.
I believe comis to that time. Carolyn, What exactly do
you do for the Holiday Teens company? What is your
(25:25):
exact role?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Well, we don't have titles, and I answer the sign.
I do some accounting, I do sales, I pack orders.
I managed the retail side of the business, which is
online for consumers. Here's a bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
And how long have you worked there?
Speaker 6 (25:52):
A very long time, probably close to twenty years. And
I'd have to look at the records to be sure.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Is this locally owned? Because it looks like national company.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
It is it is?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
And who owns it?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
He probably would not want me to say his name.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Why he's about his website's about to crash with all
the business rigzone went down last week. He said, oh
my god, it took us a while to get the
site back.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Okay, Well, for consumers, people who want to buy a
few cans, they're not reselling, they need to go to
cookietens dot com. Now you do, yeah, Well, but if
you're reselling, you're a product, then you can come to
Holiday Tens. Okay, I'm at Cookie, but if you're packing
(26:43):
cookies for your college grandson, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Going there because that's the retail price. I want the
wholesale price. I know what you're doing.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Everybody does. Everybody does, so there is you're doing as well.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I don't know if if you've ever heard of it,
but they're there's a woman. There's a cookie product called
missus Haynes Moravian Cookies. Y'all may make their tins. So
I'm on the Cookie tins dot com. And in the
bottom right there is the tin. It's about four inches
tall and it's about the size of my mother's pound cake.
(27:21):
And it looks like that exact tin. It's a red tin.
And you open it up and Carolyn, I'll get your
address and send you some's. Have you ever had Moravian cookies.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
It's been a very long time.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay. They are They are sliced. They are so thin
that when you put it, the problem with it is
you can't eat just one. They melt in your mouth.
I don't know how they stay together because they don't crumble.
They arrive and they're not broken. They are the most
amazing cookies I've ever had, and so I used to
(27:55):
send them out. You get them online. It's they're out
of the family lives. I believe in North Carolina. But
Missus Haynes is the matriarch of this big family and
they've been doing this for probably forty years. And the
Moravians are a people. They're they're kind of like the
(28:18):
I don't know, like maybe the Amish in Pennsylvania. They're
they're they're from They're from a region of Czechoslovakia. And
the best I can tell is you want to have
a lot of Moravians in your country, because you know,
they're they're very they're very family oriented, very kind people.
(28:38):
They they seem to be. Everything I've ever read about
them is you'd rather have more of that and fewer
thugs and hoodlums and and uh trenda arragua kind of things.
But anyway that that can made me think of it,
I'm going to send you some and then you call
back and I will have forgotten that I did it,
and you say that you're Carolyn and that you're going
(28:59):
to oh, well, you know what I gotta give you.
I gotta see which one you want, because I like
the cinnamon. Let's see it. But they also have a
like a walnut. Here we go, Missus Haynes, Moravian cookies,
and I'm gonna get you the flavors. A yn no, sweetie,
(29:20):
I got this h A N E s. They're they're
just Oh, let's see. I'm gonna look at their flavors
and we'll see which one you want. I'm gonna send
you some for Valentine's Day. I wish we could go
back to second grade, Carolyn, where you know you could
have Valentine's that weren't your Valentine Valentine, you know what
(29:42):
I mean. So you could be my Valentine. But we
wouldn't get in trouble, you know what I'm saying. Yes, Okay,
here we go. Okay, the black walnut is delightful. The
butterscot forgot about the butters You like butterscotch?
Speaker 6 (29:58):
I do a few people I know like it, but
I do I don't. I don't get it very often.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
But yes, you remember Bras candy. I don't guess Bracts
made a little butterscotch. And I just have fond memories
of like if we were going into a funeral, somehow
I'd end up with. That was before we had phones
and things to keep us busy. I'd grab myself a
couple of butterscotches. And if you're sitting at the funeral,
(30:25):
but then your mother would turn and look at you
because you were unwrapping it too loud. Okay, Ginger is
the one that is really good. Let's see lemon. The
lemon is very good also, and then the straight sugar,
the straight the sugar cookie is pretty special as well.
(30:47):
And let's see if I think that's it, which one
of those do you want?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Can we do Ginger?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yes? Because that was my original.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
My wife had a law professor named Craig Joyce, and
somehow he knew Missus Haynes and he sent us that
for Christmas. And my wife started law school at ninety two,
so we probably got it ninety two. And for at
least ten years we would send about ten different people
a ten of Missus Haynes Moravian cookies. And then I
(31:20):
changed assistance, and my assistant was the one that handled
getting all that done because a lot of logistics to
you know, coordinate all this stuff. And then and I
just never I never I never got I never replaced that,
and I went back about two years ago and this
year that year, I just ordered some for myself. I
didn't send anybody else in. And Sharon, did you get
(31:41):
one or more sometimes. Oh yeah, goodness, they're just absolutely wonderful. Yes,
hold on it. I'm gonna get your address and i'll
send them to you from there. Now they're high, they're
they're quite proud of them, I have to tell you that.
But they're I think they're worth it. They're they're wonderful.
(32:02):
I don't know how long their shelf stable, but they
don't last anyway.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Well, I was going to say, if you eat them
up quickly.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well, and you know what my problem with cookies, Carolyn,
I don't know if you have this problem. My problem
with cookies is a lot of people nowadays, they want
to pile so many things into the cookie. I am
a stripped down yes, And so what I like about
these if you did just eat one, you wouldn't have
(32:32):
to you know, you could eat one ten minutes before
dinner and it wouldn't hurt you because it's so way
for thinners, just just like a sliver, almost see through them.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
All right, hold on them, exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I don't know if I've tried the butterscotch I love,
but you don't like butterscotch, Okay, I do, don't know.
Ramon doesn't like, oh, butterscotch.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Oh yeah, because he hadn't tried.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know what else was good that I've never had
anything as good as it is a little caramel. I
think it was made by bracts or seas or whatever.
And it was just, you know, about a half inch
by half inch and it was like a caramel. It
was a light brown and it had a clear Oh
my goodness, those things. It would kind of turn into
gum there at the end. It would kind of turn
gooey by the end of it. Oh boy, those were good.
(33:25):
We don't eat enough candy, like old fashioned candy anymore.
I went to the doctor the other day and he
had candy in his mouth. That's the weirdest thing. But
I was sort of jealous.
