It's that time time, time, time, Luck and Load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air right now.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
There's a lot of fallacies about Latinos and we.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Want to clear that up. Oh yeah, like like what officer.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
First of all, not every single Latino is Mexican. I'm
glad you noticed different kind of Mexicans. Puerto Rican Mexicans,
Nick Roban Mexican Dominican Mexicans.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I knew nothing of Mexican culture. I'm originally from the Midwest.
I moved to Los Angeles like Sinko Demayo. I didn't
even know what it was. My neighbor's Mexican. I asked him.
I mean in Midwest we call it Tuesday, you know.
I asked him, I go, what is it? He goes,
it's our Independence Day. I go, who'd you beat? He
goes the French. I'm like, well, who didn't you know?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I don't know if it's something to get quite dis
wound up about Jose, but if martaritas are half price,
I'm all aboucers ain't going to Balla.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
The French forces in the Battle of Puebla back in
eighteen sixty two. It's also an excuse to drink tequila
on a Monday morning at work for Lewis. President Obama
will mark the holiday with a reception at the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You have to drink the whole thing and eat the worms.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
I wanted to take a moment right here because on Monday,
think of the mile way too early meet sarcastic references
to the way some Americans celebrate the holiday, and it
was not our intention to be disrespectful, and we sincerely
apologize for those references. You know, after twenty years in
this business, anyone who knows me knows where I stand
on diversity and inclusion.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So to those I let.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Down or feel portrayed, I hear you, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So we're gonna go over to Lewis now.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
But the look at the stories in the coler this morning,
and I know you are contrite as.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, Thomas. I want to express my sincere apologies as well.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
I truly was never my attention to offend anyone, and
if I did, and I know I did, I'm very sorry.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
Me me.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
In honor of Sinko to MYO. If you call the
show and you give what you think is a Mexican name,
you will be moved to the front of the line.
So you find yourself sitting there a while and feels like,
my goodness, are they cutting a line on me? Yes,
yes they are. Today is a day of inclusion, and
(03:07):
so I suggest you asked somebody in the office how
to latinize your name to move to the front of
the line. Ramon, What did one pencil say to the other?
What do you call sandals made of frog skin? Open
(03:30):
toad footwear?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Oh? My goodness you Oh, you've really thought this one through. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
A friend of mine was on tender and a girl
in there asked him, why do you have an unlit
cigarette in your picture? He said, I'm looking for matches.
I'm not sure how long I can't handle that. Friend
(04:01):
of mine was worried that his girl had been cheating
on him, so he asked her once she replied to
his text how many times she had cheated on him.
That's when he realized, hmm, she was answering in Spanish.
(04:24):
Down Houston crime stoppers now calling on. Oh, by the way,
if you are having some sort of Cinco de Mayo
event at your place, don't call email and we will
read it out on the air. If there is a
if at your restaurant or whatever else you have. Y'all
(04:48):
have something going on, and you will email in. Just
bear in mind that whatever you read, whatever you send in,
I'm going to read briefly. So if you don't tell
what part of town or what address or what time
or what the cover is, that's on you, not me.
I'm not doing the background story.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Try it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I always asked russ Lebar, it's a fun thing the
morning after Cinko Demayo how they did the day before,
and it is crazy. It is crazy to me how
many people go out for Cinco Tomao.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
The guy that for a long time till he died
owned cane Lee's Irish pub on Shepherd was a buddy
of mine. We were drinking buddies, and I would always
go over. He'd invite me over a day or two
before Saint Patrick's Day and he'd show me all, you know,
what he was doing this year, and I got some
(05:45):
people working over here, and then we got this activity
over here, and then we got horses. He would close
down he didn't have much parking, but he'd close down
his parking there and take over. And then I would
always text in the morning after and he would give
me the numbers, and it was just amazing. It would be,
you know, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times what
they normally did. It's just that was a day that
people went out. And I think Gringos because Ringo's a
(06:08):
bit more sober than some of the the places that
are just pouring the booze and people are going to
stagger out of their drunk. Ringos isn't going to do that.
But I think that a lot of people will go
out to Gringos as hey, you know, more sort of
a more I don't want to say responsible, but it
is responsible, more sort of a sober.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Hey, let's it's single to Maa.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You want to you want to hurt Michael Berry Tomban,
you want to want to go to dinner? And and
they will, and they'll go out when maybe they otherwise
would not have on this day. That's that's my suspicion.
But I look forward tomorrow to hearing what percentage up
the restaurant is the marginal difference because they're going to
be busy every day, but they're going to be crazy
(06:52):
busy and everybody will. So if you would like to
email me what's going on at your place? You can
do that through our website, Michael Berryshow dot com or
Michael at Michael Berryshow dot com. And a reminder, because
people still get this, it's m I c h A
E l And by the way, every Michael is spelled
that way. That no, oh that's Michelle. No Michelle is
(07:13):
m I c h E l l E. It's not
even close to Michelle. It's m I c h A
E l A before the e m I c h
A e l at Michael Berry with an E show
dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You do anything tonight? What do you do?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You're gonna neaedt Mexican food where? Oh you don't want
to tell where? Oh, you don't want to have to
sound autographs?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whoever has the better specials? Okay, what kind of specials?
Mark Arita ber you like green or not green stuff?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
You like?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You like the Mexican flag and you're you know what
I hate about the whole illegal immigration thing is I've
always loved Mexico and the Mexican influence and the influence
of the Mexican people here, and it was always such
a wonderful thing, and then you had this just horrible
illegal immigration and it altered the whole discussion, and that's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because that's a rich, rich history. What a bummer.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You surely look sharp today.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's the Michael Berry's Shows.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
A number of you have been sending in emails about
your madre for our Friday show, which is a celebration
of Mother's in anticipation of Mother's Day. Please keep those
coming through the website at Michael Berryshow dot com. We're
always here with your party tips and advice, and I
(08:51):
will do that now tonight. If you're out with your
brother in law or your wife's face family, or your
office colleagues. What you'll want to do not when you
first get there. I want to get a couple of beers, Tequila's,
Margarita's in you, and then what you want to do
(09:13):
to really move the party forward is you want to
go Guys, y'all realize, Sino to Mayo is not Mexican independence.
And they'll look at you because you say it with
a lot of conviction. It's not everybody thinks it is.
That's the whole point. It's not Mexican independence. So they'll
give you a moment. They're giving you some room here
(09:35):
at that moment, you've got to there's a moment for
a perry of thrust. You've got to make your point
because you own the table. It's not Mexican independence.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What happened.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Y'all know what happened. And then even if they halfway know,
you don't listen to them and they go when yeah,
so here's the deal, here's what happened. So the French
where this is not about Mexico all together, about the
city of Pueblo. And then you throw in, by the way,
you know, the poblano pepper. If you're from from Puebla,
(10:07):
you're known as a poblano. A person from Puebla is
a poblano. So now you've thrown them a little Oh okay,
all right, yeah, so yeah, he's your poblano, like the
poblano pepper, which comes from Puebla. And so the French
were basically occupying the city of Pueblo and they were
collecting on the debts. Yeah yeah, So the Mexican people
(10:31):
realize they never get out from under this debt, so
they battle the French and they win the battle. And
this was such a big win because now we're not
going to pay off our debts. Now what nobody knows,
and you don't tell anybody else this. I'm just telling
you all this. You know tonight is the leader of
(10:52):
the Mexican forces was a guy named Ignacio Zadagosa, and
Zardagosa was, you know, considered the Napoleon the Roberty lead
the purshing, the great general who had pulled this battle off.
He dies a few months later, and the French come
back in and occupy and march all the way to
Mexico City, and they end up controlling Mexico until Napoleon
(11:12):
the Third about eighteen sixty one or sixty two or so,
and the Americans demand that they leave, and he says,
only if there's American neutrality, and the Americans like, now,
you're friends, you don't get just.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
At the rules, and so they left.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Anyway in Mexico would go on to be an independent nation,
but it's not. It's not Mexican independence, okay. And then
at that point you need some way to transition and
I haven't really worked that out yet into something else.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh taoh, these tacos are good, aren't they. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That there you go transition into these tacos are good.
From there, that's a good. That's a Yeah, that'd be
a good reference point right there. Also, interestingly enough, you
will come across the name of Benito Juadez of Mexico
at the time, the governor of Wahai. And if you
(12:01):
spend any time in Galveston, you will come across. You
will come across the name of Benito Juadz, named of
course for Galveston, named for Bernardo de Galvez. The town
of Galvez is Galvez Town, Galveston. But Benito Warez comes
(12:21):
up a fairmount. Warez would be part of Santa Anna's regime. Yeah,
that's Santa Ana, and Santa Ana would retake. Remember, Santa
Anna is the leader of Mexico during the Alamo. He's
not only the leader of the general of the warring force.
He's out on a campaign. This is old school. You
didn't see this the leader of a country in this era.
(12:44):
This is Alexander the Great Kubla Khan kind of stuff.
He's out in the treasured northern Mexico which we call
Texas and the Texans, and he's on this campaign.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
He's released, he goes.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Back, he he retakes the uote unquote thrown. It wasn't
really a kingdom per se. But he takes the leadership
of Mexico back and Warez had been part of his government,
but he tires of Warez. There's some internal warring with Warez,
and when he retakes leadership, he exiles Benito Warez to Havana, Cuba,
(13:24):
where he learns to roll cigars. Whatz ends up back
in well, ends up returning to North America, a North
American mainland, and ends up in New Orleans where he
becomes a cigar roller. True story. You can throw that
(13:46):
story in there as well. The problem is, I know
how this works, You're going to forget some of those details.
So anyway, apparently the deal was the Mexicans didn't pay
their bills, and so it's not about Mexican independence. It's
about Mexicans that wouldn't pay their bills. And like the
FEDS came in and they were all hunger down. They
had cameras, were like, oh, we're out, okay, and then
and then they were cool for Liwall and NFS came
(14:07):
back and the rest of them now went to prison.
Soever this one guy and he was like making cigars
or something. That's best I can tell what happened during
all of that time. It is now the case that
we are going to discuss in the coming hour at
nine o'clock the Michael Jackson movie. And if you have
(14:31):
not seen the Michael Jackson movie, just hang around and you'll.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Still hear what we have to say.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But if you have watched the movie, I would be
interested to hear what you think about the movie. Not
about whether you like or don't like Michael Jackson. It
is it is getting a lot of attention. It is
a subject of some great interest, particularly his legacy, if
(15:02):
you will, I think it is an attempt to bolster
his legacy, his six degrees of separation with his r
Michael Jackson. What oh, Bob Pittman, Yes, yes, Bob, Yeah,
you're right. That's that's not six degrees, that's two degrees.
Bob Pittman, the CEO and chairman of our company is
(15:22):
depicted very very in a very very nasty.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Form in that movie.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And interestingly, it was about whether Michael Jackson would be
played in the movie.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's about whether he would be played on MTV.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I had heard from a documentary I watched several years
ago that Rick James said the only artist they would
play on MTV was Michael Jackson and not anybody else.
So I had talked to Bob Pittman about it and
he told me the story. Well, I watched the movie
this weekend with my wife, and I talked to Pittman
and he gave me his side of the story.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So if you've heard the reference to Bob Pittman, there's
more to that story. Anyway. That'll be at nine o'clock, say.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
Time, Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Well, actually you are playing all right.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So if you have grandkids that are teenagers, I'm going
to teach you a little something that you can use
on them this evening that you actually know what a
well actually is.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
There is a joke.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Amongst the young people of what is known as a
well actually, and that is people who when you point
something out. You see them in politics all time, people
who when you when you say something, they will quibble
over the details. For instance, when you say, I mean it,
(16:47):
dude was like a monster, It was like Frankenstein, they
will well, actually, well, actually Frankenstein is the doctor, not
the monster. Okay, Well, actually, guy, or well you know
he's got a Napoleon complex. Well, actually Napoleon wasn't short
(17:10):
at all. He's about five seven, which at that time
was sort of standard. Okay, great, Well, actually your blood
is never blue. The oxygenated blood is dark red. It
only appears blue through your skin because of how the
light reflects on it.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I think, what did you get for lunch?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I had a panini?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, actually panini is plural, one is a panino.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What did you have for breakfast? I had a colatchi?
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Well, actually that's a Claubajk. Colachi's got sweets and yeah,
that's that guy. Nobody likes that guy ever, but that's
what makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, actually, gum doesn't stay in your stomach for seven years.
It passes the same rate as everything else. It just
never digests. That that was a myth. Well, actually, people
will point out myths and untruths and things that are
widely believed to.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Be the case.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Well, actually, you didn't get an expresso. You got an
S expresso. It's pronounced with an S. Yeah, that's how
that's pronounced. Is it's with an S. So you can
be the will actually tonight with your newfound knowledge of
(18:36):
what Cinco de Mayo actually is. Houston Crime Stoppers now
calling on state lawmakers to crack down on repeat thieves
after tracking dozens of suspects who were arrested multiple times
in a single year, imagine that it's almost like bad
guys are always bad guys, not just one time. Saying
that small businesses cannot keep absorbing the losses.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Story from Khou Andy kNN.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
With crimes Stopper says he's tired of seeing a revolving
door of these criminals coming here to the Harrows County
Courthouse and getting away with a slap on the risk.
That's why he's going to appeal to lawmakers to change.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That one two three four.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Crime victim's advocate Anti Khn is keeping detailed records tracking
what he calls habitual thieves targeting local businesses.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
This girl only steals from beauty having beauty, he says.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
In twenty twenty five, some suspects were rested multiple times
in a single year.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
We identified fifty three defendants charged with five or more.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Just this week, we reported two thieves broken to this
comic book store of a two ninety and the two
suspects had a lengthy criminal record, one charge thirteen times,
another charge seven times.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Got to send a message out to the thieves out there,
because they know they're winning and so it's like a
poker game. They're calling your bluff, and every time they
call your bluff, you.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Know they end up with a winning hand.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
That's why he's pushing for tougher penalties.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
On that third, fourth, or fifth felony theft, you'll get
enhanced to a third degree felony, meaning you're subject to
anywhere from two to ten years in prison.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
But a law professor at the University of Houston Law
Center says it's not that simple. He says judges, prosecutors,
and the parole board would have to align.
Speaker 12 (20:26):
People ask differently in the light of the law. That
is to say, prosecutors are people willing to reduce charges
because they're concerned that it doesn't seem fair to trigger
such a large sentence for what seems like, on an
individual level, a relatively minor offense. Judges might also be
cautious too.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
He also questions whether tougher penalties actually deter crime.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
Does an offender think about before they offend? Do they
think about the potential publishment.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
Or not still concess Something has to change to protect
small business owners.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But it won't. That's just it. It doesn't have to change.
It only gets worse.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's amazing to me how often when I say to people,
let's say crime in Houston, and I'll say They'll say,
Home's got it on, And I said, no, it doesn't
have to be done. It's not going to be done
because you're not going to change out the judiciary. People
ask me why I'm supporting Don Hooper for County Harris
(21:34):
County Republican Party Chairman over the incumbent Sindi Siegel, Why
are you supporting Don Hooper?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, we had I believe it was.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Twelve open criminal court seats in twenty twenty four. Good
news is it's only six this time.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
But it's six.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
That means that if every Republican in the area, every
single Republican in Harris County shows up to vote, we
would win elections like you would not believe we would.
We would win you you'd think you would. It would
blow your mind. It would shock you what we would
(22:17):
do in those elections, just absolutely blow your mind. If
you saw if every Republican actually showed up to vote,
it would be landslides in every election. Now that won't happen,
but we don't really Our people don't realize we have
the power to do that. If we do that, we
(22:37):
would still lose. I wrote notes on it. I went
and looked at the actually took the time to look.
We would still lose six criminal court seats to the Democrats,
even if we had nine nine percent of the votes,
because we don't actually have a candidate in those seats.
(22:58):
The party's number one response is fill each position. We
lose every position where the Democrats put up a candidate
and we don't.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's just that simple.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Your number one responsibility is to go out and get
candidates and fill the seat. I had plenty of criticisms
of Jared I think he did a pretty good job
wood Full as party chairman for twelve years. I had
plenty of criticism for Gary polland that's my job. That's
(23:36):
that's the way it is. But they filled those seats
and we dominated. We dominated the judiciary. We've had wins
where we've had Republican judges. The last couple of election cycles,
the Republican judges we've had, some of those have won.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
But if you.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Don't have candidates in a race, you don't win. Where
are my damn notes? See if I can find it,
because it's worth noting how many of these folks, how
many of these are awful?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
To va Bell I remember was one of them.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
By the way, newpole came out in the Republican Senate
race that has Paxton up forty eight forty five seven undecided,
And I would argue that when you look at voter turnout,
Paxson's gonna win bigger than that May's Middleton up forty
eight thirty nine over chip Roy. That voting will start
in less than two weeks.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Ambitions, Michael Berry, that's just young and ambitions.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
And I love women. Hey, you can knot no man
for loving women. Wady.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Did you see this story in the news about the
Indian who drank ten thousand cups of tea before he
went to bed. There's tragic. They found him dead the
next morning. He had drowned in his tepee. This story
(25:12):
requires a little background. Bert Harvey uses the guy for
a glass replacement. He's really good, and his name is
Mike Silva, but I never knew his last name. He
just Mike the glassman, and so I would refer to
him as Mike Glassman. And my wife doesn't pay real
(25:32):
close attention to much of anything. So I am very
high strung. You figured that out, and she's the opposite.
Nothing bothers her ever, and it's kind of good, you know,
I would much it's a happier way to be. She
doesn't things, don't upset her, things on, but she's about
half ass paying attention at all times. So if we
(25:57):
were having so in our studio, I wanted, instead of
having traditional rails or one of these glass walls, put
up the put up the staircase so you could see
through it.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It would look cool.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So Mike Glassman was going to do the glass and
then out the back. I wanted a bulletproof glass so
we could see out. And you know, I have an
act of imagination. So anyway, we're always using Mike the Glassman.
So at some point Mike's Glassman was coming to our
house because we were having a wall replaced with glass.
I like wide open spaces to be able to see things,
(26:33):
open concepts.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So my wife, I don't know how she came up
with this. She she put.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Mike's name in her phone as Mike glass and at
one point I don't remember how it came to be,
but she referred to him being respectful in front of
the kids as mister Glass, and she would make reference
and so on an occasion of mister Glass. And at
(27:02):
one point I had no idea because we weren't talking
about the installation of glass, but she referred to mister Glass,
and I had no idea where on earth this was
coming from. And I'm thinking of an Eastern European Ashkenasm
Jewish guy, and I should be thinking of a Hispanic
(27:23):
dude whose actual last name is Silva, but I don't
think I knew that or was worried about it.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
He's my glass man.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
At some point we figured out that she thought his
name was Mike Glass and got a big kick out
of it. So he got a kick out of it.
We all thought it was very funny. I get a
message from his brother, and the message from John Silva
is Mike Glass's brother. Cinco de Mayo Corona story. Our
mother was born in Del Rio, so we visited our
(27:52):
grandparents there often. Acunya is the Mexican border town. Back
in the early eighties, it was an easy and a
safe place to go anytime. They had great food and
cheap shopping. When we were older, Mike and I would
go across and buy coronas for about five dollars a case.
Corona was not a popular beer then, and frankly, I
don't think it tasted all that good. But for five
dollars it was fun to say we bought them. In Mexico.
(28:15):
You made me laugh when you said, tell your friend
Cinco to Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day. Living here
in Georgia where I do now, most of my friends
know I'm the token Mexican in my ritzy neighborhood. I
just shake my head when they tell me Happy Independence Day.
I like to reply, you know it was invented by Corona, right,
which is actually true if you look at Cinco to
(28:39):
Mayo and its celebration here, it was Corona in the
eighties who were looking for something to celebrate Mexican beer
or Mexican culture Mexican Americans, and the way you do
that is to drink Corona.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Do you like Corona? I don't actually like.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
There are very few beers that I would say I
don't actually like the flavor of it, very few beers,
but that is one of them that I just And
the worst part is you end up on a beach somewhere,
which means for me, if I end up on a
beach somewhere. The list of problems I have to start
with is I'm on a beach somewhere and that is
(29:17):
not my idea of a good time. And then the
problem with that number two is there sand and I
don't like sand.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And then I mean, we could get into this for
a little while.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
But anyway, he says, next time you talk to Mike
asking about the time when some friends we met in
Del Rio took us to Acuna on New Year's Eve.
We had to leave about two am because one of
our friends, a girl, got in a fight and we
didn't want to go to jail. That nightclub also had
to close early because they ran out of clean glasses.
Ola John Silva, it happens, you know, it could happen.
(29:49):
It's possible. Dallas Hart, our listener in Leaky, says, it's
my birthday and I'm having a happy hour in my
restaurant tonight, the Historic Leaky in since nineteen twenty nine, in.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Historic Leaky, Texas.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
There you go, Sherry in Lubbock listening on KFYO. And
if you didn't hear, a couple of days ago, we
paid tribute to our friend Chad hasty who we lost
far too young, at only forty three years old, suddenly
to a heart attack. She writes Zorro, I agree one
hundred percent that we get triggered, pissed off, etc. About
(30:26):
things that we read on the Internet and social media.
I've caught myself falling into that trap, and I have
to back away. It's aggravating because you want to know
what's happening to an extent, and reading it is convenient
and quick, but nine times out of ten it's a
damn line. TV news is usually just someone's opinion over
and over. What's the alternative? A truthful alternative? Well, if
it was easy, it's not. You know, I've noticed that
(30:50):
even Fox News that what it's sloppy and cheap news.
But what has become the news more often than not
is critics are angry that, wait a second, that's not
worthy of the news.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Some critics are angry that, and then they fill in
that someone is upset. That's not news. How is that news?
Andrew writes are in our craft house Cinco de Mayo
special case Subbidia.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You like that VideA? My kids used to order that
all the time.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Just because are in our craft House is an American restaurant,
doesn't mean we can't throw some serious Mexican flavor, especially
on Sinco to myo. Our head chef is from Guerrero, Mexico,
and he brought his aunt's authentic homemade consume.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Do you say consom or consume? Consume?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I guess recipe with him? Don't they call consume something else?
And there are another name for it, an actual Mexican term.
That's why our case of Vidia is the real deal.
Crispy cheese crusted tie stuffed with cut off. This special
is available today Sinko to my O for only fourteen dollars,
(32:07):
So come on in for lunch or dinner and get
you some rn R Craft House twelve nine to ten
Malcolmson Road in Cyprus three dollars. Corona's dose Ekis and Modela.
You know the whole bud light problem. Apparently that the
beer that has really benefited from that is Modelo, which
is surprising. All Right, we're going to talk about the
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Michael Jackson movie coming up.
It's that time time, time, time, Luck and Load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air right now.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
There's a lot of fallacies about Latinos and we.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Want to clear that up. Oh yeah, like like what officer.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
First of all, not every single Latino is Mexican. I'm
glad you noticed different kind of Mexicans. Puerto Rican Mexicans,
Nick Roban Mexican Dominican Mexicans.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I knew nothing of Mexican culture. I'm originally from the Midwest.
I moved to Los Angeles like Sinko Demayo. I didn't
even know what it was. My neighbor's Mexican. I asked him.
I mean in Midwest we call it Tuesday, you know.
I asked him, I go, what is it? He goes,
it's our Independence Day. I go, who'd you beat? He
goes the French. I'm like, well, who didn't you know?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I don't know if it's something to get quite dis
wound up about Jose, but if martaritas are half price,
I'm all aboucers ain't going to Balla.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
The French forces in the Battle of Puebla back in
eighteen sixty two. It's also an excuse to drink tequila
on a Monday morning at work for Lewis. President Obama
will mark the holiday with a reception at the White House.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You have to drink the whole thing and eat the worms.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
I wanted to take a moment right here because on Monday,
think of the mile way too early meet sarcastic references
to the way some Americans celebrate the holiday, and it
was not our intention to be disrespectful, and we sincerely
apologize for those references. You know, after twenty years in
this business, anyone who knows me knows where I stand
on diversity and inclusion.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So to those I let.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Down or feel portrayed, I hear you, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So we're gonna go over to Lewis now.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
But the look at the stories in the coler this morning,
and I know you are contrite as.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, Thomas. I want to express my sincere apologies as well.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
I truly was never my attention to offend anyone, and
if I did, and I know I did, I'm very sorry.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
Me me.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
In honor of Sinko to MYO. If you call the
show and you give what you think is a Mexican name,
you will be moved to the front of the line.
So you find yourself sitting there a while and feels like,
my goodness, are they cutting a line on me? Yes,
yes they are. Today is a day of inclusion, and
(03:07):
so I suggest you asked somebody in the office how
to latinize your name to move to the front of
the line. Ramon, What did one pencil say to the other?
What do you call sandals made of frog skin? Open
(03:30):
toad footwear?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Oh? My goodness you Oh, you've really thought this one through. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
A friend of mine was on tender and a girl
in there asked him, why do you have an unlit
cigarette in your picture? He said, I'm looking for matches.
I'm not sure how long I can't handle that. Friend
(04:01):
of mine was worried that his girl had been cheating
on him, so he asked her once she replied to
his text how many times she had cheated on him.
That's when he realized, hmm, she was answering in Spanish.
(04:24):
Down Houston crime stoppers now calling on. Oh, by the way,
if you are having some sort of Cinco de Mayo
event at your place, don't call email and we will
read it out on the air. If there is a
if at your restaurant or whatever else you have. Y'all
(04:48):
have something going on, and you will email in. Just
bear in mind that whatever you read, whatever you send in,
I'm going to read briefly. So if you don't tell
what part of town or what address or what time
or what the cover is, that's on you, not me.
I'm not doing the background story.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Try it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I always asked russ Lebar, it's a fun thing the
morning after Cinko Demayo how they did the day before,
and it is crazy. It is crazy to me how
many people go out for Cinco Tomao.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
The guy that for a long time till he died
owned cane Lee's Irish pub on Shepherd was a buddy
of mine. We were drinking buddies, and I would always
go over. He'd invite me over a day or two
before Saint Patrick's Day and he'd show me all, you know,
what he was doing this year, and I got some
(05:45):
people working over here, and then we got this activity
over here, and then we got horses. He would close
down he didn't have much parking, but he'd close down
his parking there and take over. And then I would
always text in the morning after and he would give
me the numbers, and it was just amazing. It would be,
you know, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times what
they normally did. It's just that was a day that
people went out. And I think Gringos because Ringo's a
(06:08):
bit more sober than some of the the places that
are just pouring the booze and people are going to
stagger out of their drunk. Ringos isn't going to do that.
But I think that a lot of people will go
out to Gringos as hey, you know, more sort of
a more I don't want to say responsible, but it
is responsible, more sort of a sober.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Hey, let's it's single to Maa.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You want to you want to hurt Michael Berry Tomban,
you want to want to go to dinner? And and
they will, and they'll go out when maybe they otherwise
would not have on this day. That's that's my suspicion.
But I look forward tomorrow to hearing what percentage up
the restaurant is the marginal difference because they're going to
be busy every day, but they're going to be crazy
(06:52):
busy and everybody will. So if you would like to
email me what's going on at your place? You can
do that through our website, Michael Berryshow dot com or
Michael at Michael Berryshow dot com. And a reminder, because
people still get this, it's m I c h A
E l And by the way, every Michael is spelled
that way. That no, oh that's Michelle. No Michelle is
(07:13):
m I c h E l l E. It's not
even close to Michelle. It's m I c h A
E l A before the e m I c h
A e l at Michael Berry with an E show
dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You do anything tonight? What do you do?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You're gonna neaedt Mexican food where? Oh you don't want
to tell where? Oh, you don't want to have to
sound autographs?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whoever has the better specials? Okay, what kind of specials?
Mark Arita ber you like green or not green stuff?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
You like?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You like the Mexican flag and you're you know what
I hate about the whole illegal immigration thing is I've
always loved Mexico and the Mexican influence and the influence
of the Mexican people here, and it was always such
a wonderful thing, and then you had this just horrible
illegal immigration and it altered the whole discussion, and that's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because that's a rich, rich history. What a bummer.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You surely look sharp today.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It's the Michael Berry's Shows.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
A number of you have been sending in emails about
your madre for our Friday show, which is a celebration
of Mother's in anticipation of Mother's Day. Please keep those
coming through the website at Michael Berryshow dot com. We're
always here with your party tips and advice, and I
(08:51):
will do that now tonight. If you're out with your
brother in law or your wife's face family, or your
office colleagues. What you'll want to do not when you
first get there. I want to get a couple of beers, Tequila's,
Margarita's in you, and then what you want to do
(09:13):
to really move the party forward is you want to
go Guys, y'all realize, Sino to Mayo is not Mexican independence.
And they'll look at you because you say it with
a lot of conviction. It's not everybody thinks it is.
That's the whole point. It's not Mexican independence. So they'll
give you a moment. They're giving you some room here
(09:35):
at that moment, you've got to there's a moment for
a perry of thrust. You've got to make your point
because you own the table. It's not Mexican independence.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What happened.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Y'all know what happened. And then even if they halfway know,
you don't listen to them and they go when yeah,
so here's the deal, here's what happened. So the French
where this is not about Mexico all together, about the
city of Pueblo. And then you throw in, by the way,
you know, the poblano pepper. If you're from from Puebla,
(10:07):
you're known as a poblano. A person from Puebla is
a poblano. So now you've thrown them a little Oh okay,
all right, yeah, so yeah, he's your poblano, like the
poblano pepper, which comes from Puebla. And so the French
were basically occupying the city of Pueblo and they were
collecting on the debts. Yeah yeah, So the Mexican people
(10:31):
realize they never get out from under this debt, so
they battle the French and they win the battle. And
this was such a big win because now we're not
going to pay off our debts. Now what nobody knows,
and you don't tell anybody else this. I'm just telling
you all this. You know tonight is the leader of
(10:52):
the Mexican forces was a guy named Ignacio Zadagosa, and
Zardagosa was, you know, considered the Napoleon the Roberty lead
the purshing, the great general who had pulled this battle off.
He dies a few months later, and the French come
back in and occupy and march all the way to
Mexico City, and they end up controlling Mexico until Napoleon
(11:12):
the Third about eighteen sixty one or sixty two or so,
and the Americans demand that they leave, and he says,
only if there's American neutrality, and the Americans like, now,
you're friends, you don't get just.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
At the rules, and so they left.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Anyway in Mexico would go on to be an independent nation,
but it's not. It's not Mexican independence, okay. And then
at that point you need some way to transition and
I haven't really worked that out yet into something else.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh taoh, these tacos are good, aren't they. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That there you go transition into these tacos are good.
From there, that's a good. That's a Yeah, that'd be
a good reference point right there. Also, interestingly enough, you
will come across the name of Benito Juadez of Mexico
at the time, the governor of Wahai. And if you
(12:01):
spend any time in Galveston, you will come across. You
will come across the name of Benito Juadz, named of
course for Galveston, named for Bernardo de Galvez. The town
of Galvez is Galvez Town, Galveston. But Benito Warez comes
(12:21):
up a fairmount. Warez would be part of Santa Anna's regime. Yeah,
that's Santa Ana, and Santa Ana would retake. Remember, Santa
Anna is the leader of Mexico during the Alamo. He's
not only the leader of the general of the warring force.
He's out on a campaign. This is old school. You
didn't see this the leader of a country in this era.
(12:44):
This is Alexander the Great Kubla Khan kind of stuff.
He's out in the treasured northern Mexico which we call
Texas and the Texans, and he's on this campaign.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
He's released, he goes.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Back, he he retakes the uote unquote thrown. It wasn't
really a kingdom per se. But he takes the leadership
of Mexico back and Warez had been part of his government,
but he tires of Warez. There's some internal warring with Warez,
and when he retakes leadership, he exiles Benito Warez to Havana, Cuba,
(13:24):
where he learns to roll cigars. Whatz ends up back
in well, ends up returning to North America, a North
American mainland, and ends up in New Orleans where he
becomes a cigar roller. True story. You can throw that
(13:46):
story in there as well. The problem is, I know
how this works, You're going to forget some of those details.
So anyway, apparently the deal was the Mexicans didn't pay
their bills, and so it's not about Mexican independence. It's
about Mexicans that wouldn't pay their bills. And like the
FEDS came in and they were all hunger down. They
had cameras, were like, oh, we're out, okay, and then
and then they were cool for Liwall and NFS came
(14:07):
back and the rest of them now went to prison.
Soever this one guy and he was like making cigars
or something. That's best I can tell what happened during
all of that time. It is now the case that
we are going to discuss in the coming hour at
nine o'clock the Michael Jackson movie. And if you have
(14:31):
not seen the Michael Jackson movie, just hang around and you'll.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Still hear what we have to say.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
But if you have watched the movie, I would be
interested to hear what you think about the movie. Not
about whether you like or don't like Michael Jackson. It
is it is getting a lot of attention. It is
a subject of some great interest, particularly his legacy, if
(15:02):
you will, I think it is an attempt to bolster
his legacy, his six degrees of separation with his r
Michael Jackson. What oh, Bob Pittman, Yes, yes, Bob, Yeah,
you're right. That's that's not six degrees, that's two degrees.
Bob Pittman, the CEO and chairman of our company is
(15:22):
depicted very very in a very very nasty.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Form in that movie.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And interestingly, it was about whether Michael Jackson would be
played in the movie.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's about whether he would be played on MTV.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I had heard from a documentary I watched several years
ago that Rick James said the only artist they would
play on MTV was Michael Jackson and not anybody else.
So I had talked to Bob Pittman about it and
he told me the story. Well, I watched the movie
this weekend with my wife, and I talked to Pittman
and he gave me his side of the story.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
So if you've heard the reference to Bob Pittman, there's
more to that story. Anyway. That'll be at nine o'clock, say.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
Time, Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Well, actually you are playing all right.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So if you have grandkids that are teenagers, I'm going
to teach you a little something that you can use
on them this evening that you actually know what a
well actually is.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
There is a joke.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Amongst the young people of what is known as a
well actually, and that is people who when you point
something out. You see them in politics all time, people
who when you when you say something, they will quibble
over the details. For instance, when you say, I mean it,
(16:47):
dude was like a monster, It was like Frankenstein, they
will well, actually, well, actually Frankenstein is the doctor, not
the monster. Okay, Well, actually, guy, or well you know
he's got a Napoleon complex. Well, actually Napoleon wasn't short
(17:10):
at all. He's about five seven, which at that time
was sort of standard. Okay, great, Well, actually your blood
is never blue. The oxygenated blood is dark red. It
only appears blue through your skin because of how the
light reflects on it.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I think, what did you get for lunch?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I had a panini?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, actually panini is plural, one is a panino.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What did you have for breakfast? I had a colatchi?
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Well, actually that's a Claubajk. Colachi's got sweets and yeah,
that's that guy. Nobody likes that guy ever, but that's
what makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, actually, gum doesn't stay in your stomach for seven years.
It passes the same rate as everything else. It just
never digests. That that was a myth. Well, actually, people
will point out myths and untruths and things that are
widely believed to.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Be the case.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Well, actually, you didn't get an expresso. You got an
S expresso. It's pronounced with an S. Yeah, that's how
that's pronounced. Is it's with an S. So you can
be the will actually tonight with your newfound knowledge of
(18:36):
what Cinco de Mayo actually is. Houston Crime Stoppers now
calling on state lawmakers to crack down on repeat thieves
after tracking dozens of suspects who were arrested multiple times
in a single year, imagine that it's almost like bad
guys are always bad guys, not just one time. Saying
that small businesses cannot keep absorbing the losses.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Story from Khou Andy kNN.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
With crimes Stopper says he's tired of seeing a revolving
door of these criminals coming here to the Harrows County
Courthouse and getting away with a slap on the risk.
That's why he's going to appeal to lawmakers to change.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That one two three four.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
Crime victim's advocate Anti Khn is keeping detailed records tracking
what he calls habitual thieves targeting local businesses.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
This girl only steals from beauty having beauty, he says.
Speaker 11 (19:28):
In twenty twenty five, some suspects were rested multiple times
in a single year.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
We identified fifty three defendants charged with five or more.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
Just this week, we reported two thieves broken to this
comic book store of a two ninety and the two
suspects had a lengthy criminal record, one charge thirteen times,
another charge seven times.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Got to send a message out to the thieves out there,
because they know they're winning and so it's like a
poker game. They're calling your bluff, and every time they
call your bluff, you.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Know they end up with a winning hand.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
That's why he's pushing for tougher penalties.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
On that third, fourth, or fifth felony theft, you'll get
enhanced to a third degree felony, meaning you're subject to
anywhere from two to ten years in prison.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
But a law professor at the University of Houston Law
Center says it's not that simple. He says judges, prosecutors,
and the parole board would have to align.
Speaker 12 (20:26):
People ask differently in the light of the law. That
is to say, prosecutors are people willing to reduce charges
because they're concerned that it doesn't seem fair to trigger
such a large sentence for what seems like, on an
individual level, a relatively minor offense. Judges might also be
cautious too.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
He also questions whether tougher penalties actually deter crime.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
Does an offender think about before they offend? Do they
think about the potential publishment.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
Or not still concess Something has to change to protect
small business owners.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But it won't. That's just it. It doesn't have to change.
It only gets worse.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's amazing to me how often when I say to people,
let's say crime in Houston, and I'll say They'll say,
Home's got it on, And I said, no, it doesn't
have to be done. It's not going to be done
because you're not going to change out the judiciary. People
ask me why I'm supporting Don Hooper for County Harris
(21:34):
County Republican Party Chairman over the incumbent Sindi Siegel, Why
are you supporting Don Hooper?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, we had I believe it was.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Twelve open criminal court seats in twenty twenty four. Good
news is it's only six this time.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
But it's six.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
That means that if every Republican in the area, every
single Republican in Harris County shows up to vote, we
would win elections like you would not believe we would.
We would win you you'd think you would. It would
blow your mind. It would shock you what we would
(22:17):
do in those elections, just absolutely blow your mind. If
you saw if every Republican actually showed up to vote,
it would be landslides in every election. Now that won't happen,
but we don't really Our people don't realize we have
the power to do that. If we do that, we
(22:37):
would still lose. I wrote notes on it. I went
and looked at the actually took the time to look.
We would still lose six criminal court seats to the Democrats,
even if we had nine nine percent of the votes,
because we don't actually have a candidate in those seats.
(22:58):
The party's number one response is fill each position. We
lose every position where the Democrats put up a candidate
and we don't.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's just that simple.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Your number one responsibility is to go out and get
candidates and fill the seat. I had plenty of criticisms
of Jared I think he did a pretty good job
wood Full as party chairman for twelve years. I had
plenty of criticism for Gary polland that's my job. That's
(23:36):
that's the way it is. But they filled those seats
and we dominated. We dominated the judiciary. We've had wins
where we've had Republican judges. The last couple of election cycles,
the Republican judges we've had, some of those have won.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
But if you.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Don't have candidates in a race, you don't win. Where
are my damn notes? See if I can find it,
because it's worth noting how many of these folks, how
many of these are awful?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
To va Bell I remember was one of them.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
By the way, newpole came out in the Republican Senate
race that has Paxton up forty eight forty five seven undecided,
And I would argue that when you look at voter turnout,
Paxson's gonna win bigger than that May's Middleton up forty
eight thirty nine over chip Roy. That voting will start
in less than two weeks.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Ambitions, Michael Berry, that's just young and ambitions.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
And I love women. Hey, you can knot no man
for loving women. Wady.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Did you see this story in the news about the
Indian who drank ten thousand cups of tea before he
went to bed. There's tragic. They found him dead the
next morning. He had drowned in his tepee. This story
(25:12):
requires a little background. Bert Harvey uses the guy for
a glass replacement. He's really good, and his name is
Mike Silva, but I never knew his last name. He
just Mike the glassman, and so I would refer to
him as Mike Glassman. And my wife doesn't pay real
(25:32):
close attention to much of anything. So I am very
high strung. You figured that out, and she's the opposite.
Nothing bothers her ever, and it's kind of good, you know,
I would much it's a happier way to be. She
doesn't things, don't upset her, things on, but she's about
half ass paying attention at all times. So if we
(25:57):
were having so in our studio, I wanted, instead of
having traditional rails or one of these glass walls, put
up the put up the staircase so you could see
through it.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It would look cool.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So Mike Glassman was going to do the glass and
then out the back. I wanted a bulletproof glass so
we could see out. And you know, I have an
act of imagination. So anyway, we're always using Mike the Glassman.
So at some point Mike's Glassman was coming to our
house because we were having a wall replaced with glass.
I like wide open spaces to be able to see things,
(26:33):
open concepts.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So my wife, I don't know how she came up
with this. She she put.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Mike's name in her phone as Mike glass and at
one point I don't remember how it came to be,
but she referred to him being respectful in front of
the kids as mister Glass, and she would make reference
and so on an occasion of mister Glass. And at
(27:02):
one point I had no idea because we weren't talking
about the installation of glass, but she referred to mister Glass,
and I had no idea where on earth this was
coming from. And I'm thinking of an Eastern European Ashkenasm
Jewish guy, and I should be thinking of a Hispanic
(27:23):
dude whose actual last name is Silva, but I don't
think I knew that or was worried about it.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
He's my glass man.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
At some point we figured out that she thought his
name was Mike Glass and got a big kick out
of it. So he got a kick out of it.
We all thought it was very funny. I get a
message from his brother, and the message from John Silva
is Mike Glass's brother. Cinco de Mayo Corona story. Our
mother was born in Del Rio, so we visited our
(27:52):
grandparents there often. Acunya is the Mexican border town. Back
in the early eighties, it was an easy and a
safe place to go anytime. They had great food and
cheap shopping. When we were older, Mike and I would
go across and buy coronas for about five dollars a case.
Corona was not a popular beer then, and frankly, I
don't think it tasted all that good. But for five
dollars it was fun to say we bought them. In Mexico.
(28:15):
You made me laugh when you said, tell your friend
Cinco to Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day. Living here
in Georgia where I do now, most of my friends
know I'm the token Mexican in my ritzy neighborhood. I
just shake my head when they tell me Happy Independence Day.
I like to reply, you know it was invented by Corona, right,
which is actually true if you look at Cinco to
(28:39):
Mayo and its celebration here, it was Corona in the
eighties who were looking for something to celebrate Mexican beer
or Mexican culture Mexican Americans, and the way you do
that is to drink Corona.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Do you like Corona? I don't actually like.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
There are very few beers that I would say I
don't actually like the flavor of it, very few beers,
but that is one of them that I just And
the worst part is you end up on a beach somewhere,
which means for me, if I end up on a
beach somewhere. The list of problems I have to start
with is I'm on a beach somewhere and that is
(29:17):
not my idea of a good time. And then the
problem with that number two is there sand and I
don't like sand.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And then I mean, we could get into this for
a little while.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
But anyway, he says, next time you talk to Mike
asking about the time when some friends we met in
Del Rio took us to Acuna on New Year's Eve.
We had to leave about two am because one of
our friends, a girl, got in a fight and we
didn't want to go to jail. That nightclub also had
to close early because they ran out of clean glasses.
Ola John Silva, it happens, you know, it could happen.
(29:49):
It's possible. Dallas Hart, our listener in Leaky, says, it's
my birthday and I'm having a happy hour in my
restaurant tonight, the Historic Leaky in since nineteen twenty nine, in.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Historic Leaky, Texas.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
There you go, Sherry in Lubbock listening on KFYO. And
if you didn't hear, a couple of days ago, we
paid tribute to our friend Chad hasty who we lost
far too young, at only forty three years old, suddenly
to a heart attack. She writes Zorro, I agree one
hundred percent that we get triggered, pissed off, etc. About
(30:26):
things that we read on the Internet and social media.
I've caught myself falling into that trap, and I have
to back away. It's aggravating because you want to know
what's happening to an extent, and reading it is convenient
and quick, but nine times out of ten it's a
damn line. TV news is usually just someone's opinion over
and over. What's the alternative? A truthful alternative? Well, if
it was easy, it's not. You know, I've noticed that
(30:50):
even Fox News that what it's sloppy and cheap news.
But what has become the news more often than not
is critics are angry that, wait a second, that's not
worthy of the news.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Some critics are angry that, and then they fill in
that someone is upset. That's not news. How is that news?
Andrew writes are in our craft house Cinco de Mayo
special case Subbidia.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You like that VideA? My kids used to order that
all the time.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Just because are in our craft House is an American restaurant,
doesn't mean we can't throw some serious Mexican flavor, especially
on Sinco to myo. Our head chef is from Guerrero, Mexico,
and he brought his aunt's authentic homemade consume.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Do you say consom or consume? Consume?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I guess recipe with him? Don't they call consume something else?
And there are another name for it, an actual Mexican term.
That's why our case of Vidia is the real deal.
Crispy cheese crusted tie stuffed with cut off. This special
is available today Sinko to my O for only fourteen dollars,
(32:07):
So come on in for lunch or dinner and get
you some rn R Craft House twelve nine to ten
Malcolmson Road in Cyprus three dollars. Corona's dose Ekis and Modela.
You know the whole bud light problem. Apparently that the
beer that has really benefited from that is Modelo, which
is surprising. All Right, we're going to talk about the
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Michael Jackson movie coming up.
