Speaker 3 (06:23):
Immigration enforcement now increases.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
The Honduran consulate in Houston has been busy. Houston's Honduran
Console General says more families are choosing to return home volunteerily.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You can't deport us all. Don't have to a lot
of you'll leave on your own once you understand there's
no future here if you're illegal. A lot of you
will and leave on your own. How's that you can't
deport us all? Sound now? A Houston dentist is caught
with more than one hundred canisters of laughing gas in
his car day, but he said he was caught huffing
(06:53):
and driving.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
And driving a staggering amount of nitrous oxide or laughing
gas one.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hundred and seven of these canisters inside his VIEO. I mean,
think about this, officer boy, I'm gonna need some backup
over here.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I have somewhere between ninety and one hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And thirty laven gas canisters. I need to count up.
I mean, we'll take your word for it. That had
to take a while. And you know what, I bet
the buzz whears all.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Valentine's Day, a day of love right in the middle
of Black History months.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Stupid hallmark holiday anyway, I don't view Valentine's Day as
a hallmark holiday. I think there is an important role
in our society that gets insufficient attention, which celebrates the
love between a man and a woman who are in
a committed relationship. We have all the promotion in the
world or isn't she hot? Fellas and she's not your girl.
(07:44):
We have all the promotion in the world for seemingly everything,
but the bond between a husband and wife. I think
it's important for men and women to love each other.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Love please Gamese.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh no, I started as too body if I've never
find and it was.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Now trying to defense fee to give it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You get me, be honest.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
With you, Michael Berry almost god fella babies.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
Sixteen alarm clock won't stop going. I'll stumbled through the same,
Try to think.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Fill the coffee pot, mmmmm coffee.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
Get the sleepy heads out of bed, get them fair,
get them dressed, to read up, get your stuff in
the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Blow one both to kiss when you drop them off.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
My kids.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
It feels like a month of Mondays since I had
a break. Sometimes to tell myself when I had all
I could take.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Friday's come in.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Just like that.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's gonna come.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Back and round.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
You gotta keep on running.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
I can't let trouble.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Me the drown.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
I'm ready to feel that feeling.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Not then a dude, but the chicks back singing.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Damn a torpedoes por little titos.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Friday's here again.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
A listener sent me this the other day, and I'd
been criticizing the Pope for criticizing Trump and our immigration policies.
When he's got a massive wall, it's an impressive wall.
I like a wall that's a wall's wall. It's not
even a straight up down wall. It's got some it's
got some slant to it to give it extra you know,
(09:58):
even harder to scale. The Pope is ensconced inside a
wall's wall. I mean that's a wall. And I thought, oh,
it's a Catholic priest. He's sending me this to scold
me for criticizing the pope when he should be criticizing
the pope instead. But it was nothing of the sort.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
It was.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It was the perfect encapsulation for Valentine's Day, and I
thought i'd share it. You want to know what a
perfect marriage is, I'll tell you what a perfect marriage is,
and I mean it. Take it from this celibate. A
perfect marriage is an imperfect husband and an imperfect wife
(10:44):
who absolutely refuse to give up on one another. That's
a perfect marriage.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
That's holiness, that sanctity, that sainthood in the making.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Never forget that, an imperfect husband and an imperfect wife
who absolutely refused to give up on each other. That's
pretty strong right there. What Amy's perfect then because she
refuses to get up and give up on you. Yeah,
we're all kind of dragging you across the finish line
(11:18):
is the group effort. Let's not give her all the credit,
all right? The phone lines are open seven one three,
nine nine nine one thousand seven one three, nine, nine nine,
one thousand. You can share your thoughts on Trump. You
can share your thoughts on making America great again. You
can share your thoughts on the nomination processes. Or you
can share your thoughts on your Valentine, or what you've
(11:40):
learned to create the best personal relationship, or wish you
wish you'd learned back in the day. Are the greatest
virtues of the man or woman you love? Seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three, nine
nine one thousand. Ramon, do you remember the movie Falling Down?
(12:03):
That movie spoke to me. I don't think it was
supposed to have as profound as an impact as it
had on me. I think a lot of people who
had that moment where they feel like I've just had enough.
I I'm going out in a blaze of glory. I've
had enough. I'm tired of the no I tolerate the
little indignities all day long, and I've had enough. And
(12:25):
he was a man that had just had enough, like James,
like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty when when he resigns
from his position and writes that letter, it's just an
average guy with nothing to lose. Well, at the end,
it's getting very likely there's going to be a suicide
by cop. It's a bad situation, and I think it
(12:46):
was Robert Duvall who was the cop on his last
day of work and they end up out there on
the pier in his last day of work. I used
to worry when my brother was a cop that would
get the call. And I did get the call, it
just wasn't killed being shot, but I always feared, and
I feared how my mother would handle the call, because
(13:07):
he loved to do the kind of stuff that would
most likely get you killed, which is swat officer, narcotics officer.
I guess swat didn't is likely to get to you,
but narcotics officer undercover for two years, those sorts of things,
and I lived in fear of that. And that scene
in the movie where Duval, such a phenomenal actors on
his last day and you can see it in his face.
(13:29):
It's kind of one of those themes. You know, hey,
it's your last day out there. Take it easy. And
here you are in a shootout, right, So maybe I
probably have a little more interest in a cops last
day than most people. My brother's friend, Drogan, I think
it's Drogan too, twins and their DPS troopers. And he
(13:50):
sent me an email on the day he retired, and
he had pulled over the side of the road and
was bawling. And those guys don't ball a lot. He said,
your brother and I spent so much time. I'm talking
about what we would do when we retired. The day
we retired, we're going to go get hammered together. And
he said, here, I am retired and your brother's not here.
And I thought, you know, what a nice thing to
share with me. That was pretty cool. Well, I got
(14:13):
an email yesterday. That's the context, Tramon. I got an
email yesterday from a fellow and it said tomorrow is
my last day. Of course, he hadn't been an officer
that long. Tomorrow's my last day after forty three years
of law enforcement. Man, if you make twenty, if you
make a lot of guys make twenty and they're out,
tomorrow's my last day. That's today, after forty three years
(14:36):
of law enforcement. I'm seventy one and still rolling. Oh,
happy day. Well that's Friday morning. Paul Hubbard is our guest.
Welcome Constable Hubbard. Good morning, forty three years. Why are
you quitting now?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Oh? We we have a new constable and he's great.
I think that he's going to do extremely well. Some
of the dynamics of our officer going to change. And
I think that they're kind of looking after some guys
that are a little bit younger and that kind of
thing that they can build their office around.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
How much younger than seventy one are they looking for?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
That's a good question. I don't really know. I mean,
I can still outrun most of them, and is that
true all that kind of stuff? So it is, yes,
and I can certainly outshoot them all.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Really I like that.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
What's your height? Weight? Six foot four, two thirty five.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
White fellow, white? Yeah, you got all your hair? The
correct answer is what's left to it?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Pretty short? Okay, well, yes, what's the left of it? Yes?
I do. Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What was the moment? What was the moment where you decided,
I guess after forty three years, I'm going to hang
it up. Was there a moment that you said this
is it like a moment of aggravation or.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Well I had I went a couple of weeks ago,
I went to a field sobrieting school refresher course which
is mandated, and I was playing the part of the
intoxicated person and I had a little bit of a
difficult time doing the nine step walking turn, and my
(16:20):
balance wasn't as good as it typically is. And I thought, so,
if I am not as adept at being in balance
and maintaining myself in the way that I am accustomed
to doing, I need to take a look at that.
And I always told our new boss, David Easton is
(16:41):
our new constable.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
By the way, hold on right there, Deputy Constable Paul Hubard,
I want you to tell us what you always have
told him. Coming up in your call seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Politics, do you enjoy a harsh chemical lactity where you
have came to the right place? Because my get on
him blowing all out. Baby, I've got one hundred dollars
(17:22):
walking in my bill hole. I know how I'll say.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Anybody's burning a hold right through my fogg an and
through my skins.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
Come Monday morning.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I'll be Brown talking, it's fine that Friday.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
I'm freeing down. I've got my motor running abound again.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Seven one three nine nine one thousand, seven one three
nine nine, one thousand. Your calls coming up on whatever
it is you want to talk about, including anything Valentine's
romance or love related. Paul Hubbard is today irving his
last day forty three years of law enforcement. He's seventy
(18:03):
one years old as a constable in Montgomery County Precinct two.
Deputy Constable Hubbard, what is your shift? Are you eight
to five or what are your hours? Typically I work
eight to four, eight to four, and today.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I'll be working eight to four.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now when you when when four o'clock comes, what do
you normally do do you go back to the station.
What's the protocol there?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, we have, you know, all of our deputies here.
We all have vehicles that we take home. So my
ship begins when I log on basically at my house
at eight in the morning, when I'm pull him out,
and then it ends as I'm driving into my you know,
my neighborhood, and I'll shut down my computer and go
(19:00):
od or off duty at that time.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Do they do an end of watch thing.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Not for retirements only.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
For yes, okay, I didn't know that. That's a ceremony
that's always gotten me. But I didn't know if that
was because it was active duty and it was end
of watch. So when you check in in the morning,
when you log in and that's when your shift begins,
you do that on a computer or on your phone
or how does that work?
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I did it on a computer, you know I have
a computer or in car computer?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Well, how did that work? When you started forty three
years ago?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
It wasn't like that we'd have to do it on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Did you have a take home vehicle?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I did not know, So you couldn't. You couldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You couldn't be on duty till you got to the station. Correct, Yeah,
And then did y'all do a roll call when you
got there or you just got in your vehicle and
you said, you know, here we go.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Now we had I started actually in February of eighty
two with Harris County, uh Precinct one Constable's office and
Walter Rankin was a constable then, and we would, you know,
go to the office and pick up whatever our assignments were,
you know, for the day. We were ready to run
warrants or civil process or whatever and just head out
(20:28):
and go do it. And there really wasn't a lot
of protocol as far as you know. People came to
work when they were supposed to, went home when they
were supposed to, went out and did what a quaint notion.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, I used I used to love to do ride
alongs with HPD and I loved the little codes and these,
and they'd say KKD four ninety HPD Houston, and you
know at the time that they'd picked the guy up
or whatever. Do you have a sign on or a
sign off that is distinctive to you?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I do know, well, I use my unit numbers eighty
two twelve, And.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So how would that go. Give us a little taste
of how that would be. If you called dispatch and
you'd just picked somebody up.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
If I was going to arrest somebody, I would just say,
I'd say eighty two twelve. They would respond, repeat my number.
I said, just show me a route to Montgunmam County
jail with the one I'll be in right. Here's my
knowledge starting mileage. Then I would give them an ending
knowledge when I got there, especially if it was a female,
(21:32):
and for males it's not really required to do starting
an ending, but if you have a female that you're arresting,
that's important.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
How has how has the job changed the most in
forty three years?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You know, years ago, I really enjoyed having the ability
to deal with situations without necessarily having to engage an
official act. As far as like putting somebody in jail.
You know, we'd get a we call it family violence
now that it was just you know, a disturbance you
(22:08):
know back then, and go out to a house and
you know, a husband and wife or arguing, you know,
as long as they're not like beating each other physically.
You know, I'd go in there and I'm telling U, so,
I just need y'all to stop talking. You go sit
over here, You sit over here, ma'am. I don't. I
(22:28):
don't need to hear anything from you at the moment.
It's hur or the way around, you know, Let's I
just get one of them to why am I here?
Why did y'all call the police? And usually it would
be one of a couple of things. Is either they're
fighting over money or kids, or in some form of infidelity,
or somebody was drunk you know, or any of those
(22:52):
kinds of things. And sometimes back then, if there was
a money issue, I looked pretty good with money and
that kind of thing. And I'd sit down and said,
y'all have a budget. Now we don't have a budget.
We just kind of do what we need to. Ask. Well,
that's probably where your problem is, said, you want to
know how to do one. Well, yeah, we don't know.
(23:12):
So we'll sit down. Give me a piece of paper
and a pencil, and I'd sit down with them for
half an hour or so and show them how to
do a real basic budget. I said, y'all, manage your money,
be intelligent about what you spend. Don't buy things you
don't have money for. Then you want to have these problems.
And then would I would leave. I might write up
a real small little incident report, you know, or something
(23:34):
like that, you know, to turn down. But we can't
do that kind of stuff anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's a great story.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
But yeah, and you know, I loved making the difference
in somebody's day. I said. One of my favorite examples
is I was running traffic one day up here in
Montgomery County and there was a vehicles. It was a
thirty five mile on our road, and I think they
were doing close to sixties. So I turned around, pulled
(24:07):
them over. A very polite lady, probably in her mid
sixties or so. In my standard, you know, address, when
I would approach somebody, i'd say, I'm Deputy Hebard Montgomer
County Constable's Office. Do you have any medical emergency or
anything that I might could consider as a true reason
(24:29):
that you're driving almost thirty miles an hour. Speed them
in and they sometimes they said, nah, just I'm paying attention,
you know it said okay, well that's great, we can
deal with that. So this particular lady, she said, well,
I don't know if it really is an emergency or not. Said,
but I'm on my way home from Kansas City and
(24:49):
my husband has a relatively rare form of cancer that
they only treat there, and we live in the Woodlands,
and I have some things I have to take care of.
So I've been and straight through from Kansas City, and
I'm trying to get home, get a little bit of rest,
and have some things I need to take care of,
you know. And then I got to turn around them
and go back to Kansas City. And she was very
(25:13):
well presented or she presented herself. Well, I mean you
could tell me she was just not a you know,
it wasn't just an off the cuff, I'm trying to
get out of a ticket kind of a thing. And
she you know, and she had met it. She said,
I don't even know how fast I was going, but
I've just focused on trying to get home. And she
had some luggage, you know, on her back seat, you know,
(25:35):
and it was evident that she had been traveling, and
she was welcomed. And so I said, well, okay, well
let me have your driver's license and saw her enter license.
She didn't have any traffic history or any arrest history.
So we had handwritten tickets at that time, and I
walked up to her and I wrote her ticket and
(25:55):
I said, man, if you wouldn't mind signing here for me, please,
and she did, and so I asked her, I said,
so I have a questions for you. She asked, so
what is that? I said, would you be upset with
me if I make this a warning? And she just
she broke down and she started crying, and I said,
why are you crying? She said, I haven't had anybody
(26:17):
treat me kindly or do anything good for me in
a very long time. So I said, well, okay, well
here I want to make it a warning. I'm writing
in big letters, so you have that. Here's your copy.
You're not getting a real ticket. It's just a warning.
And I've got a break coming up. I hear it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
The government made money off of it.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
We didn't get nothing the hard time to Michael.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Barry joke, it's a damn shame.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
It's a damn take this job and shove it.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
I ain't working no more.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Warming dunelm took all the reasons I would in fall.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You better not.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Try to stand in my way. It's on the balk
are out the doors.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
His job and shoving. I A'm working here.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
All right, Let's get to your calls. But first let
me wrap up with Montgomery County counstibl Precinct to seventy
one years old, forty three years of law enforcement and
today he hangs it up at four o'clock. Constable Hubbard,
where do you do you normally stop somewhere for lunch?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
A couple of places. I go to Vernon's Catfish over
on the Highway one oh five. Why wouldn't a week
sometimes all right man. Actually one of your sponsored I
go to Gringo's quite a bit and I have lunch
with Ramon's.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Uncle nephew, Aaron Castillo.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, he's a great kid. Aaron. We're all in a
pool together. We do the you know the little boxes
on the football game. Yeah, we're in the pool together.
And he won two of the four quarters last week.
I'm very jealous. Yeah, he's a great kid. They love
him at Gringos.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Yeah, he remembers me when I come in. I was
actually went there the first day they were open, largely
because if your acknowledgment of them on your show, and
I listened to your show a lot, and so I thought,
you know what, I haven't been to a Gringos. I'm
there opening one here, I'm going to go.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
It's wonderfully.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I was there and Medham Yeah it was great.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
So why don't you go there today? And as a
favor to me, it'll be my treat and I would
like to buy you lunch on your last day. That
would mean a lot to me.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I'd be great. I'll do it, all right.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
What time will you be there?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
About eleven o'clock?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Eleven o'clock you're an early lunch guy. Yeah, Ramon said,
only do two margueritas on your last day, because that'd
be weird. We don't need you getting down the way home.
And Brett Ligan does not show her.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
That would not go well. All right, But I do
intermit in fasting like you, and there's a lot of
things you know that that you do in your life,
that in your lifestyle. I should say that I do
as well I have been doing for a long time.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
And well, I'll tell you what I'm I bet. I
bet I could have Ray Hunt or Doug Riff of
one of these guys run the numbers. The number of
officers who make it more than thirty years, I would bet,
I would bet who start. I would bet that one's
less than five percent. And the number of officers who
(29:42):
make it more than forty years, I'll almost guarantee you
is less than one percent. That's something to be proud
of you. You've got some skills to be able to
do this.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
That are are.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Commendable, and Montgomery County will be the worst without. That
is true public service, Paul Harbard. That is true public service,
and we thank you for it.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Brother, Well, thank you, Michael, about that did it honored
pleasure to do it.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Wow, how about that seventy one years old, forty three
years of service My brother had I think thirty thirty
two maybe forty three years. You think about what what
absolute monsters people can be to law enforcement. You know,
(30:33):
usually when you see law enforcement, you're not at your best.
Even the greatest guy you know who's gone through rehab
or AA or whatever it go. Yeah, it was that
one guy.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
I was drunk.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I'll just wing at him. I mean, this guy, how
about the fact he could outrun him, outshoot him, and
he takes pride in that eset. I love that about him. Well, there,
it is eleven o'clock today. If you happen to be
at Gringo's at eleven o'clock today, the manager there is
Aaron Castillo, who was Ramon's nephew. And by the way,
(31:02):
not that we would have we don't have that kind
of stroke. But we had nothing to do with it.
He just went to work there, worked his way up.
They loved that kid. He was at another store before,
wasn't he He was at Papasito's and he came over
there to be the manager. And Jonathan Kim and Russell
Lebar and Heathern mckid and their team just love him.
What's that tortious interference? Yeah, not torturous tortius. You goog Paul. Well, anyway,
(31:30):
if you're there at eleven o'clock, go over and say
hello to Deputy Constable Paul Hubbard. What if they all
walk over to his table and buy him a Margarine's
like eighteen Martin, I can't say, no, relief.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Maybe they love me?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Why can I say they love me?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Seriously, that's really cool. That's really cool, Paul Hubbard. Let's
go to Felicia. Felicia on Valentine's Day. You're on the
Michael Berry Show. Welcome, Thank you, yes, ma'am, go ahead, dear.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
Okay, So I was just gonna talk about my Valentine.
We got married. His name is jeff Jeffrey Bourgeois. We
got married last year, and I just wanted to tell
him Happy Valentine's Day because he is the best man
I've ever met, and I'm so proud of him and
how he is. And he's actually the fire chief at
his plant, so I'm very very proud of him.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
What's his plant?
Speaker 10 (32:27):
He works at Total Energies, and I work for Violia
at Exxon.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Oh, no, we were really more focused on him right now, Okay,
and he's the fire chief there. Do they make good money?
Speaker 10 (32:40):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, he sure does.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
How much you figure he makes do you know exactly
or you're just estimating?
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Yeah? I don't really feel comfortable saying that. Actually, let's
just say we're not lacking.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
I won't mind.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Is it over one hundred that way.
Speaker 10 (32:59):
With over time? Yes, sir, it could be.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, he likes that, does he.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Well, he's actually a plant supervisor and he does that
as a volunteer. Does a volunteer firefighter? Yeah? So he
does that because he enjoys saving, loves and teaching his men.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So how long do you rid of him?
Speaker 10 (33:18):
We have been together for almost four years?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
And tell me one thing quickly about him that just
makes you crazy. You just love him for it, You
just it's it's the thing about him you love the most,
the way that.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
He loves me. He's the first good guy I've ever
been with. And I'm I'm made sure, I'm married.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
And when you say he loves you, how do you
know he loves you? Does he show he loves you?
What makes you what gives you that feeling.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
Everything he does. He opens the door for me, and
he pulled out my chair, and he he just shows
me what a real man is.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
So I'm very grateful for you're telling me every man's
not that way, No, Sarah, now at all.
Speaker 10 (34:01):
I had a whole bunch of bad eggs before I
got the good one.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Well, you know what, you appreciate him more.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
I do more than you understand.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Are you at working right?
Speaker 10 (34:11):
Sorry, I'm getting emotional. I just can't help it.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
He'll sorrow.
Speaker 10 (34:14):
I'm at home.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I wish every person not emotional about how much they
love the person they're with. That would solve a lot
of problems in this country.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
Her would He just shows me what it's like to be,
you know, a real man. He loves his family, he
loves my children, he loves to help people and to
lead people, and he just I have never met someone
so wonderful. I call him, I'm mister Wonderful. So I'm
just really proud of it.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Damn it.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
It might have had to call the day in the
first hour.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
I'm afraid. I'm afraid it'll go downhill from there. What
a wonderful, wonderful thing. Thank you, for sharing that. That's
an inspirase. You know what every man hearing that should say,
you know.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
What I could do better?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I could have my wife in tears over how kind
I am to her, because my guess is, you're imperfect.
It's not that you're perfect and therefore he has to
do that. It's that, despite your imperfections, he doesn't give
up one great call. Felicia by Felicia

The Honduran consulate in Houston has been busy. Houston's Honduran
Console General says more families are choosing to return home volunteerily.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You can't deport us all. Don't have to a lot
of you'll leave on your own once you understand there's
no future here if you're illegal. A lot of you
will and leave on your own. How's that you can't
deport us all? Sound now? A Houston dentist is caught
with more than one hundred canisters of laughing gas in
his car day, but he said he was caught huffing
(06:53):
and driving.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
And driving a staggering amount of nitrous oxide or laughing
gas one.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hundred and seven of these canisters inside his VIEO. I mean,
think about this, officer boy, I'm gonna need some backup
over here.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I have somewhere between ninety and one hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And thirty laven gas canisters. I need to count up.
I mean, we'll take your word for it. That had
to take a while. And you know what, I bet
the buzz whears all.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Valentine's Day, a day of love right in the middle
of Black History months.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Stupid hallmark holiday anyway, I don't view Valentine's Day as
a hallmark holiday. I think there is an important role
in our society that gets insufficient attention, which celebrates the
love between a man and a woman who are in
a committed relationship. We have all the promotion in the
world or isn't she hot? Fellas and she's not your girl.
(07:44):
We have all the promotion in the world for seemingly everything,
but the bond between a husband and wife. I think
it's important for men and women to love each other.
Speaker 8 (07:57):
Love please Gamese.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh no, I started as too body if I've never
find and it was.
Speaker 3 (08:09):

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Blow one both to kiss when you drop them off.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
My kids.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
It feels like a month of Mondays since I had
a break. Sometimes to tell myself when I had all
I could take.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Friday's come in.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Just like that.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's gonna come.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Back and round.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
You gotta keep on running.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
I can't let trouble.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Me the drown.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
I'm ready to feel that feeling.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Not then a dude, but the chicks back singing.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Damn a torpedoes por little titos.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Friday's here again.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
A listener sent me this the other day, and I'd
been criticizing the Pope for criticizing Trump and our immigration policies.
When he's got a massive wall, it's an impressive wall.
I like a wall that's a wall's wall. It's not
even a straight up down wall. It's got some it's
got some slant to it to give it extra you know,
(09:58):
even harder to scale. The Pope is ensconced inside a
wall's wall. I mean that's a wall. And I thought, oh,
it's a Catholic priest. He's sending me this to scold
me for criticizing the pope when he should be criticizing
the pope instead. But it was nothing of the sort.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
It was.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It was the perfect encapsulation for Valentine's Day, and I
thought i'd share it. You want to know what a
perfect marriage is, I'll tell you what a perfect marriage is,
and I mean it. Take it from this celibate. A
perfect marriage is an imperfect husband and an imperfect wife
(10:44):
who absolutely refuse to give up on one another. That's
a perfect marriage.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
That's holiness, that sanctity, that sainthood in the making.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Never forget that, an imperfect husband and an imperfect wife
who absolutely refused to give up on each other. That's
pretty strong right there. What Amy's perfect then because she
refuses to get up and give up on you. Yeah,
we're all kind of dragging you across the finish line
(11:18):
is the group effort. Let's not give her all the credit,
all right? The phone lines are open seven one three,
nine nine nine one thousand seven one three, nine, nine nine,
one thousand. You can share your thoughts on Trump. You
can share your thoughts on making America great again. You
can share your thoughts on the nomination processes. Or you
can share your thoughts on your Valentine, or what you've
(11:40):
learned to create the best personal relationship, or wish you
wish you'd learned back in the day. Are the greatest
virtues of the man or woman you love? Seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three, nine
nine one thousand. Ramon, do you remember the movie Falling Down?
(12:03):
That movie spoke to me. I don't think it was
supposed to have as profound as an impact as it
had on me. I think a lot of people who
had that moment where they feel like I've just had enough.
I I'm going out in a blaze of glory. I've
had enough. I'm tired of the no I tolerate the
little indignities all day long, and I've had enough. And
(12:25):
he was a man that had just had enough, like James,
like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty when when he resigns
from his position and writes that letter, it's just an
average guy with nothing to lose. Well, at the end,
it's getting very likely there's going to be a suicide
by cop. It's a bad situation, and I think it
(12:46):
was Robert Duvall who was the cop on his last
day of work and they end up out there on
the pier in his last day of work. I used
to worry when my brother was a cop that would
get the call. And I did get the call, it
just wasn't killed being shot, but I always feared, and
I feared how my mother would handle the call, because
(13:07):
he loved to do the kind of stuff that would
most likely get you killed, which is swat officer, narcotics officer.
I guess swat didn't is likely to get to you,
but narcotics officer undercover for two years, those sorts of things,
and I lived in fear of that. And that scene
in the movie where Duval, such a phenomenal actors on
his last day and you can see it in his face.
(13:29):
It's kind of one of those themes. You know, hey,
it's your last day out there. Take it easy. And
here you are in a shootout, right, So maybe I
probably have a little more interest in a cops last
day than most people. My brother's friend, Drogan, I think
it's Drogan too, twins and their DPS troopers. And he
(13:50):
sent me an email on the day he retired, and
he had pulled over the side of the road and
was bawling. And those guys don't ball a lot. He said,
your brother and I spent so much time. I'm talking
about what we would do when we retired. The day
we retired, we're going to go get hammered together. And
he said, here, I am retired and your brother's not here.
And I thought, you know, what a nice thing to
share with me. That was pretty cool. Well, I got
(14:13):
an email yesterday. That's the context, Tramon. I got an
email yesterday from a fellow and it said tomorrow is
my last day. Of course, he hadn't been an officer
that long. Tomorrow's my last day after forty three years
of law enforcement. Man, if you make twenty, if you
make a lot of guys make twenty and they're out,
tomorrow's my last day. That's today, after forty three years
(14:36):
of law enforcement. I'm seventy one and still rolling. Oh,
happy day. Well that's Friday morning. Paul Hubbard is our guest.
Welcome Constable Hubbard. Good morning, forty three years. Why are
you quitting now?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Oh? We we have a new constable and he's great.
I think that he's going to do extremely well. Some
of the dynamics of our officer going to change. And
I think that they're kind of looking after some guys
that are a little bit younger and that kind of
thing that they can build their office around.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
How much younger than seventy one are they looking for?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
That's a good question. I don't really know. I mean,
I can still outrun most of them, and is that
true all that kind of stuff? So it is, yes,
and I can certainly outshoot them all.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Really I like that.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
What's your height? Weight? Six foot four, two thirty five.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
White fellow, white? Yeah, you got all your hair? The
correct answer is what's left to it?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Pretty short? Okay, well, yes, what's the left of it? Yes?
I do. Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What was the moment? What was the moment where you decided,
I guess after forty three years, I'm going to hang
it up. Was there a moment that you said this
is it like a moment of aggravation or.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Well I had I went a couple of weeks ago,
I went to a field sobrieting school refresher course which
is mandated, and I was playing the part of the
intoxicated person and I had a little bit of a
difficult time doing the nine step walking turn, and my
(16:20):
balance wasn't as good as it typically is. And I thought, so,
if I am not as adept at being in balance
and maintaining myself in the way that I am accustomed
to doing, I need to take a look at that.
And I always told our new boss, David Easton is
(16:41):
our new constable.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
By the way, hold on right there, Deputy Constable Paul Hubard,
I want you to tell us what you always have
told him. Coming up in your call seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Politics, do you enjoy a harsh chemical lactity where you
have came to the right place? Because my get on
him blowing all out. Baby, I've got one hundred dollars
(17:22):
walking in my bill hole. I know how I'll say.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Anybody's burning a hold right through my fogg an and
through my skins.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
Come Monday morning.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I'll be Brown talking, it's fine that Friday.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
I'm freeing down. I've got my motor running abound again.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Seven one three nine nine one thousand, seven one three
nine nine, one thousand. Your calls coming up on whatever
it is you want to talk about, including anything Valentine's
romance or love related. Paul Hubbard is today irving his
last day forty three years of law enforcement. He's seventy
(18:03):
one years old as a constable in Montgomery County Precinct two.
Deputy Constable Hubbard, what is your shift? Are you eight
to five or what are your hours? Typically I work
eight to four, eight to four, and today.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I'll be working eight to four.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now when you when when four o'clock comes, what do
you normally do do you go back to the station.
What's the protocol there?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well, we have, you know, all of our deputies here.
We all have vehicles that we take home. So my
ship begins when I log on basically at my house
at eight in the morning, when I'm pull him out,
and then it ends as I'm driving into my you know,
my neighborhood, and I'll shut down my computer and go
(19:00):
od or off duty at that time.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Do they do an end of watch thing.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Not for retirements only.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
For yes, okay, I didn't know that. That's a ceremony
that's always gotten me. But I didn't know if that
was because it was active duty and it was end
of watch. So when you check in in the morning,
when you log in and that's when your shift begins,
you do that on a computer or on your phone
or how does that work?
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I did it on a computer, you know I have
a computer or in car computer?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Well, how did that work? When you started forty three
years ago?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
It wasn't like that we'd have to do it on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Did you have a take home vehicle?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I did not know, So you couldn't. You couldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You couldn't be on duty till you got to the station. Correct, Yeah,
And then did y'all do a roll call when you
got there or you just got in your vehicle and
you said, you know, here we go.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Now we had I started actually in February of eighty
two with Harris County, uh Precinct one Constable's office and
Walter Rankin was a constable then, and we would, you know,
go to the office and pick up whatever our assignments were,
you know, for the day. We were ready to run
warrants or civil process or whatever and just head out
(20:28):
and go do it. And there really wasn't a lot
of protocol as far as you know. People came to
work when they were supposed to, went home when they
were supposed to, went out and did what a quaint notion.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, I used I used to love to do ride
alongs with HPD and I loved the little codes and these,
and they'd say KKD four ninety HPD Houston, and you
know at the time that they'd picked the guy up
or whatever. Do you have a sign on or a
sign off that is distinctive to you?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I do know, well, I use my unit numbers eighty
two twelve, And.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So how would that go. Give us a little taste
of how that would be. If you called dispatch and
you'd just picked somebody up.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
If I was going to arrest somebody, I would just say,
I'd say eighty two twelve. They would respond, repeat my number.
I said, just show me a route to Montgunmam County
jail with the one I'll be in right. Here's my
knowledge starting mileage. Then I would give them an ending
knowledge when I got there, especially if it was a female,
(21:32):
and for males it's not really required to do starting
an ending, but if you have a female that you're arresting,
that's important.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
How has how has the job changed the most in
forty three years?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You know, years ago, I really enjoyed having the ability
to deal with situations without necessarily having to engage an
official act. As far as like putting somebody in jail.
You know, we'd get a we call it family violence
now that it was just you know, a disturbance you
(22:08):
know back then, and go out to a house and
you know, a husband and wife or arguing, you know,
as long as they're not like beating each other physically.
You know, I'd go in there and I'm telling U, so,
I just need y'all to stop talking. You go sit
over here, You sit over here, ma'am. I don't. I
(22:28):
don't need to hear anything from you at the moment.
It's hur or the way around, you know, Let's I
just get one of them to why am I here?
Why did y'all call the police? And usually it would
be one of a couple of things. Is either they're
fighting over money or kids, or in some form of infidelity,
or somebody was drunk you know, or any of those
(22:52):
kinds of things. And sometimes back then, if there was
a money issue, I looked pretty good with money and
that kind of thing. And I'd sit down and said,
y'all have a budget. Now we don't have a budget.
We just kind of do what we need to. Ask. Well,
that's probably where your problem is, said, you want to
know how to do one. Well, yeah, we don't know.
(23:12):
So we'll sit down. Give me a piece of paper
and a pencil, and I'd sit down with them for
half an hour or so and show them how to
do a real basic budget. I said, y'all, manage your money,
be intelligent about what you spend. Don't buy things you
don't have money for. Then you want to have these problems.
And then would I would leave. I might write up
a real small little incident report, you know, or something
(23:34):
like that, you know, to turn down. But we can't
do that kind of stuff anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's a great story.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
But yeah, and you know, I loved making the difference
in somebody's day. I said. One of my favorite examples
is I was running traffic one day up here in
Montgomery County and there was a vehicles. It was a
thirty five mile on our road, and I think they
were doing close to sixties. So I turned around, pulled
(24:07):
them over. A very polite lady, probably in her mid
sixties or so. In my standard, you know, address, when
I would approach somebody, i'd say, I'm Deputy Hebard Montgomer
County Constable's Office. Do you have any medical emergency or
anything that I might could consider as a true reason
(24:29):
that you're driving almost thirty miles an hour. Speed them
in and they sometimes they said, nah, just I'm paying attention,
you know it said okay, well that's great, we can
deal with that. So this particular lady, she said, well,
I don't know if it really is an emergency or not. Said,
but I'm on my way home from Kansas City and
(24:49):
my husband has a relatively rare form of cancer that
they only treat there, and we live in the Woodlands,
and I have some things I have to take care of.
So I've been and straight through from Kansas City, and
I'm trying to get home, get a little bit of rest,
and have some things I need to take care of,
you know. And then I got to turn around them
and go back to Kansas City. And she was very
(25:13):
well presented or she presented herself. Well, I mean you
could tell me she was just not a you know,
it wasn't just an off the cuff, I'm trying to
get out of a ticket kind of a thing. And
she you know, and she had met it. She said,
I don't even know how fast I was going, but
I've just focused on trying to get home. And she
had some luggage, you know, on her back seat, you know,
(25:35):
and it was evident that she had been traveling, and
she was welcomed. And so I said, well, okay, well
let me have your driver's license and saw her enter license.
She didn't have any traffic history or any arrest history.
So we had handwritten tickets at that time, and I
walked up to her and I wrote her ticket and
(25:55):
I said, man, if you wouldn't mind signing here for me, please,
and she did, and so I asked her, I said,
so I have a questions for you. She asked, so
what is that? I said, would you be upset with
me if I make this a warning? And she just
she broke down and she started crying, and I said,
why are you crying? She said, I haven't had anybody
(26:17):
treat me kindly or do anything good for me in
a very long time. So I said, well, okay, well
here I want to make it a warning. I'm writing
in big letters, so you have that. Here's your copy.
You're not getting a real ticket. It's just a warning.
And I've got a break coming up. I hear it.

me wrap up with Montgomery County counstibl Precinct to seventy
one years old, forty three years of law enforcement and
today he hangs it up at four o'clock. Constable Hubbard,
where do you do you normally stop somewhere for lunch?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
A couple of places. I go to Vernon's Catfish over
on the Highway one oh five. Why wouldn't a week
sometimes all right man. Actually one of your sponsored I
go to Gringo's quite a bit and I have lunch
with Ramon's.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Uncle nephew, Aaron Castillo.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, he's a great kid. Aaron. We're all in a
pool together. We do the you know the little boxes
on the football game. Yeah, we're in the pool together.
And he won two of the four quarters last week.
I'm very jealous. Yeah, he's a great kid. They love
him at Gringos.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Yeah, he remembers me when I come in. I was
actually went there the first day they were open, largely
because if your acknowledgment of them on your show, and
I listened to your show a lot, and so I thought,
you know what, I haven't been to a Gringos. I'm
there opening one here, I'm going to go.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
It's wonderfully.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I was there and Medham Yeah it was great.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
So why don't you go there today? And as a
favor to me, it'll be my treat and I would
like to buy you lunch on your last day. That
would mean a lot to me.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I'd be great. I'll do it, all right.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
What time will you be there?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
About eleven o'clock?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Eleven o'clock you're an early lunch guy. Yeah, Ramon said,
only do two margueritas on your last day, because that'd
be weird. We don't need you getting down the way home.
And Brett Ligan does not show her.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
That would not go well. All right, But I do
intermit in fasting like you, and there's a lot of
things you know that that you do in your life,
that in your lifestyle. I should say that I do
as well I have been doing for a long time.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
And well, I'll tell you what I'm I bet. I
bet I could have Ray Hunt or Doug Riff of
one of these guys run the numbers. The number of
officers who make it more than thirty years, I would bet,
I would bet who start. I would bet that one's
less than five percent. And the number of officers who
(29:42):
make it more than forty years, I'll almost guarantee you
is less than one percent. That's something to be proud
of you. You've got some skills to be able to
do this.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
That are are.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Commendable, and Montgomery County will be the worst without. That
is true public service, Paul Harbard. That is true public service,
and we thank you for it.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Brother, Well, thank you, Michael, about that did it honored
pleasure to do it.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Wow, how about that seventy one years old, forty three
years of service My brother had I think thirty thirty
two maybe forty three years. You think about what what
absolute monsters people can be to law enforcement. You know,
(30:33):
usually when you see law enforcement, you're not at your best.
Even the greatest guy you know who's gone through rehab
or AA or whatever it go. Yeah, it was that
one guy.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
I was drunk.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I'll just wing at him. I mean, this guy, how
about the fact he could outrun him, outshoot him, and
he takes pride in that eset. I love that about him. Well, there,
it is eleven o'clock today. If you happen to be
at Gringo's at eleven o'clock today, the manager there is
Aaron Castillo, who was Ramon's nephew. And by the way,
(31:02):
not that we would have we don't have that kind
of stroke. But we had nothing to do with it.
He just went to work there, worked his way up.
They loved that kid. He was at another store before,
wasn't he He was at Papasito's and he came over
there to be the manager. And Jonathan Kim and Russell
Lebar and Heathern mckid and their team just love him.
What's that tortious interference? Yeah, not torturous tortius. You goog Paul. Well, anyway,
(31:30):
if you're there at eleven o'clock, go over and say
hello to Deputy Constable Paul Hubbard. What if they all
walk over to his table and buy him a Margarine's
like eighteen Martin, I can't say, no, relief.

do that. It's that, despite your imperfections, he doesn't give
up one great call. Felicia by Felicia
