Not Glenn Fry, But that's a very good guest because
they were close friends and collaborating.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Very good guest.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
He's an artist who I would say is similar in
his singing style, era, stage presence. Very similar artists. Although
you might not have ever thought of it. This way,
it's big in the late seventies and into the eighties.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
He's uncredited.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It's not, it's not He's not credited on the album.
Kenny Loggins would later apologize to him, claiming it was
a memory last as to why he forgot to put
him on the album. This person was recording at the
same studio. Kenny Loggins came in and said, hey, and
he's background vocals. You want to pop in on this.
(03:02):
And this person wasn't as big as he would end
up becoming, and he was very angry that Kenny Loggins
did not credit him on this song.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You want another guest, you want another bit of information.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Huh. Christopher Cross is a good guest, but that's not
the Glen Fry realm. This guy was a solo art
Christmas solo artist. More kind of classic rock, a rock pop,
you know, i'd say, you know, more in the billy
(03:39):
Joel Glenn Fry.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Genre.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
He performed at the RCC multiple times. One of my favorites.
We didn't have a green room at the time. We
had a little uh. Somebody had donated a little uh.
I don't know what you call those. The white guys
are always in the little shed, the little modular unit,
(04:05):
you know, working on Then they go out and boss
people around and go back in there whatever that shed
is called. You know what I'm talking about. So Burt,
because that's what he does. Was so that's where we
put this singer. And Bert had his son there and
they'd been listening to this singer's songs all day.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So his son, Sean knew who this was. And I said, hey, Bert.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Take him to shed and make sure he's taken care of.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think he was recovered alcoholics.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I don't think he drank at that point, and he
sat out there and talked to Bert. And Bert's son,
more importantly, were closer to our charming as he could be,
just charming as he could be.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, it is who the money man it is.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yes, I always loved when money man any money. When
the moneyman's manager would email and say, hey, we're routing
through you know, would you like to have us on
October ninth, I would make one call. I'd call Kenny
Duncan Junr who loves money man, and I'd say, hey, Kenny,
(05:12):
I got an opportunity to get the money.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Man on October twelfth. And he'd say, how much.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I think it was twenty five, and I'd say twenty
five and he'd say I'm in and he would write
the check.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So oh no.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
If we'd done every.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Deal like that, which you know it's not easy to do,
then wow, that was I wouldn't have had any money worries.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Jim writes, My wife is Korean.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
She knows these so called Korean restaurants all in our
town of Huntsville, Alabama, are owned and run by Chinese.
They may even have Mexicans in the kitchen cooking and
cleaning up.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Waitresses may be Korean.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
And they started charging extra for side dishes, which is
not done in real Korean restaurants.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I asked Russell Lebarro. I don't know if it was on.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
The air a couple of weeks ago, or if it
was all Why textmax restaurants have exploded in popularity? You
know the first thing he credited, credited not just him,
but the industry, the fact that you can walk in
and start eating chips the minute you sit down.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And it's true, you know, you other industries, I mean,
the other cuisines.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What am I thinking other types of food have? Now
you know, they'll bring out some bread different ones will
have like a hot bread like that's all to compare
to the chips. Gary Wrights, the Cozy Dog drive in
on sixth Street, Old US sixty six and Springfield, Illinois,
claims to be the inventor.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Of the corn dog. I'll take their word for it.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Joe Wrights, I love them too, corn dogs, and there's
a food truck that does corn dogs on one forty
six in mont Bellevue. Next time you go see your dad,
take a ride on one forty six. Go down to
Kilgore Parkway and look to your right before you go
under the railroad tracks. I didn't know that was a
Kilgore Parkway. I got family from Kilgore, or I did
not realize it was a Kilgore Parkway around here. John writes,
(07:05):
I saw that two Hands corn dog place after visiting
my favorite place around there, which is Chu Choose Sushi
conveyor belt style dining for sushi. It's a great concept
for family dining. I enjoy corn dogs as well, but
the two Hands place looks shady, so thanks for confirming.
I'll stick to a good mall corn dog at festivals
and state fair corn dog or festival slash state at
(07:27):
fair corn dog.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Maybe that's the name of it. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Remember we had that dude, Nuttier and squirrel turds that
was out in Katie. He was at the mall and
he would call in and he was kind of I mean,
I think he had about ten side hustles going on.
But he had a corn dog shop. Do you remember
he was real He's kind of like breathless all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Maybe he had hot dogs. He was nuts Crosby rights Czar.
I was going to University elementary school back in the fifties.
The school required that I'd be taken to a therapist
being an unusual child. I just made stuff up to
the questions that he asked. I'll never forget that day
in the kitchen that my mother opened the vial of
prescription medicine. She looked down at me, then at the
(08:09):
pills in her hand, and back at me and said,
there's nothing wrong with you. She turned and threw the
vial and the pills and everything in her hand in
the trash.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Thank you, mom.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yes, my experience is that many therapists learn they're trade
by years and years of figuring out their own trauma.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Getting pretty ad closing time when you're listening to the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
All right, I'll give you extra credit because most of
you are stuck at one point, and he is seven to.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Get an a one person knew it was any.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Money, David Louley.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
His email is.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Parrot sixty seven at AOL dot com. I'm not sure
what I'm more interested in, the Parrot sixty seven or AOL?
Like does he get his monthly bank Account's a draft
for AOL?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
How much is it? Somewhere? There's an AOL server.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That means somewhere there's customer service for AOL Somewhere there's
like think about this, it's like an actual company. Enthusi
house college going pretty good, Dad, I'm dating a guy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
From Iowa, Iowa. Yeah, what does he do? He works
for AOL?
Speaker 1 (09:30):

Speaker 4 (09:31):

Speaker 2 (09:31):

Speaker 4 (09:33):
No, I know that America Online they're still around.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah. What does he do? Everything? He does everything?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Angela writes, I can't believe you actually ventured from Brin
City Walmart corndogs.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You should know better. Well, I got to eat a corner.
I live in Houston. Now.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
My niece Bailey was having her shower in Neederland, and
so I dropped my wife off at the shower, the
wedding shower, and then I drove to Orange to hang
out with my dad, and then I went to pick
up my mom and my wife in Nederland. So I
had to go from Orange over the Rainbow Bridge through
(10:18):
Bridge City to Neederland. And I'm driving along and I said,
wait a minute, wait a minute, that Walmart's somewhere right here.
They used to have the best hot dogs, the best
corn dogs I've ever eaten in my life, at that
little stand right in front of the Walmart. But I
couldn't remember exactly where the Walmart was round Bunch, Texas Avenue.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Where is it somewhere right around here. It's coming on
the right.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
So there's one main street through Bridge City. There's also
a cross street. But so I go all the way
up to the bridge and I turn around and I said,
I'm gonna go back and find it, Dan Walmart. So
I go back and there it is on the left.
I wasn't far past it. And I go in and
I come up with this great idea. It's going to
make all the splash when I go in to pick
(11:02):
up my wife at the wedding shower. I'm gonna have
ten corn dogs in my hand. Everybody's gonna have a
corn dog because corn dog, you know, it's kind of
like popcorn. There's things that you might not like. You
wouldn't go and buy them right now. But if I
handed you a piping hot corn dog right now, some
mustard on the side, you don't want mustard. What do
(11:23):
you want ketchup on a corn dot? You want it
on it or you want it to the side on it? Say,
don't like all that stuff makes stuff soggy. Soggy is
not my friend.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's why. Not like Cash Brown's Tater Todds, I don't
do soggy. Soggy is not Soggy is not good.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
So anyway I get about so I go up and
I said, hey, it's one one poor guy working in there,
and you know there's no air conditioning, knows little Taith
And it's it's one of those deals that they've pulled
up on a trailer and dropped off and put on
some cinder blocks and it's just a fryer in there,
and you know they got some they try to dress
it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's like the carnival. It's trash, And I said, hey,
could you could I put in a kind of big order. Sure,
what you got?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And he's making somebody else's and he's in there and
the grease is pop and it's the making probably eight
bucks an hour.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Poor guy, I said, can I get ten? Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Now, if you owned the shop, you go, I'm about
to make profit on ten corn dogs. If you're the
hourly employee, you're wanting to say, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
We don't do ten. We don't. We have a limit
one per customer, please. But he made it.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It took him a while. They weren't set up to
churn ten corn dogs. I will tell you that for sure.
They were not set up to churn ten corn dogs.
It took a while. By the time the tenth one
came out, I finished off. I polished off the first
one while I was waiting, just to make the just
to sue the weight.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I might have hit the second one too.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, So I probably did twelve all in because I
had to make up for the ones i'd eating, you know,
like the fries on our way home.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But it wasn't but fifteen minutes to get to.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The wedding shower from there, from bridge to Nederland, I
got pulled over. I get pulled over because I'm aggravated
that the corn dogs aren't gonna be hot anymore, They're
not gonna be delicious, and the splash I intended is
going to be lost on the crowd. And my wife
doesn't eat corn dogs anyway. So I'm trying in this
neighborhood to figure out where I am and I'm turned around.
(13:17):
I'm pissed off, and so I gunned it and kind
of did a fishtail around a corner and so here
it comes old boy and need a limpopo, and he
pulls me over. Fortunately he was a fan, so I
don't know if he thought I was drunk. It was
two o'clock in the afternoon, but he said, uh, well,
what is the address of where you're going? And so
I told it to him and he said, I tell
(13:37):
you what, you follow me, and I followed him, so
I got a popo escort. I don't know if he
thought I was in danger or drunk or I don't
know what he thought, but it was a you know
that beat the hell out of getting a ticket. I
tell you that, Amy writes my cousin was married to
a psychiatrist from India. She said Indian psychiatrists are better
because o Vivek, because America's psychiatrists choose psychiatry because they
(14:02):
themselves have problems, but Indian psychiatrists are in it for
the money.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
CJ writes, Zar, this is a good one.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Therapy is just the secularization of confessing our sins to
a priest.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's pretty good. That old boy works.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
At one of the shoppest locations like out in the country,
I don't remember which one, East Bronard maybe, and he
sits there tinkered on John Deere, attack attractors and coming
up with good stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Zar.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Therapy is just the secularization of confessing sins to a priest.
That's pretty deep if you think about it. Harry writes Czar.
As a drum teacher in Nashville for thirty years, my
worst parents I ever had to.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Deal with were the therapist.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Eric writes, this is a preemptive thank you for being
our daily connection to our Houston home.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Having been a longtime windshield warrior in.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
The Houston metro in South Texas region, you've been writing
Shotgun with me each morning. Afternoon well, we started a
new chapter of life, and we recently embarked on a
new adventure. As such, technology and iHeartRadio is still allowing
you to ride shotgun with us each day. We departed Keema,
Texas this past Saturday, and we will be cruising the
great waterways of the Eastern and Midwestern United States over
(15:16):
the next twenty four months. This trek is known as
America's Great Loop. Long before the invention of railroads, this
country's expansion and development was entirely dependent upon these waterways.
We're excited to experience the great histories of the many
waterway cities, fishing villages, and canal lockdowns.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
How cool is that? Eric and Kathy, we all have fun.
Keep me informed, keep sending me emails with updates.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Radio Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Let's what you use for the last segment, or you
just replaying the last segment.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This segment's just a replay of the last Oh, well, then.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I can blow my nose.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
The doctor says, when we blow your nose, I got
a lot of stuff up there, she said, when you
blow it, is it productive?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I guess that's a judgment call.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
If you go online, you start reading about not they
use the term productive.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Do you have a productive cough, very productive. You have
no idea how productive I am.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Which I really appreciate because it's kind of it's a
built in compliment. And I'm one of these people that
likes to blow my nose and then look at it
and see what color it is?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
What color is it?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Well, disappointingly, for the last two months it was clear,
but lately we've gone from yellow to brown and that
with a touch of green, and that made me very happy.
You don't need sweet sweet mama. You don't need to
send me an email and say.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Let's gross, stop talk about it because I'm a dude.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Okay, And if you didn't figure out I'm a dude,
it's because I have stifled my dudehood in front of you. Okay,
we're not the same person. I'm very different from you,
and you don't want me to be like you. We
talk about snot and boggers and poop and pee and pretty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Girls, and I'm a dude.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
You're not a dude, but you don't need to be
bothered by the things I talk about. You just at
that point you just go, well, you know we're different,
and we move on down the road. All right, Ramon,
you got one point. It takes seven to get an A.
This will be worth four points. Okay, you kind of
need this one. To whom was this song offered? The
(17:42):
song was actually written for this person.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Turned up. You don't know it. You haven't guess it
by now. You don't know. Do you want to know? Huh? Who? Give?
(18:14):
And Nixon is all right? You have four points, you're
at five. You need seven to get an A. All right?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
For one point? Debbie Harry finished the song. The song
was incomplete when handed to her. She was given a
first screening of the movie for which this would air.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
What is that movie?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
American Jigglow? It is very well done, Ramone, very well done.
Rick Turner says, how much does aol cost you?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Ask?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Six to ninety nine a month? Look, I said eight bucks.
By the way, he's got a AOL handle.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Darren writes corn corn dog basket at chantilly bar in Laporte.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Not for every day, but every once in a while.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Ask Russell if he knows where a chantilly bar in
Laporte is.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Tzar.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Today we express, oh, this is from David Malsby. Today
we express our gratitude to Jerrar and Company, Mike and
Darlene Gerrar. They donated beef valued at one thousand dollars.
Every day David Malsby sends me an email with one
person or group that has done something special for Camp Hope.
(19:24):
It might be a million dollars, it might be in
this case one thousand dollars. But it all adds up
and it all comes from a good place. Some people
will say, well, I can't donate money. I don't have money.
Nobody asked you to. People will know if they need
to give. You don't need to point that out. But
since you clearly have a heart forgiving, how about you
(19:46):
donate time? You can do that and we have all
the needs you can imagine. Yesterday was Zar. I want
to take the opportunity today to express a deep appreciation
for you your organization. This I have nothing to do
with this, It says Robert Reese, Who's the rep who
handles their account. They don't pay, but the rep who
(20:07):
handles making sure we get them on the air a lot.
This all goes back to Robert Rees and Eddie Martini
in a little bit to Ramon. For twenty twenty four,
iHeartMedia donated two hundred four thousand dollars worth of airtime
to bring awareness.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
That Camp Hope is available to veterans.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I got an email this morning from a guy, a
relative of his, took his life as a marine cor
a veteran. He'd been struggling since he got out.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, So anyway, thank you to Robert Reese, who works
very hard.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
To make sure that Camp Hope stays on the air
at no cost to Camp Hope. To Eddie Martini who
allows this to happen and has a heart for Camp Hope.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
To Ramone who for.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
All these years has produced the Road to Hope radio
program where veterans get to tell their stories, and you know,
those stories are powerful because other people hear those stories
and they're similarly situated and they go.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You know what I'm going through, exactly what that guy
was going through.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
That was across the stations of seven ninety AM ninety
nine point one FM, which is CODA or Sonny seven
ninety is Sports seven ninety kp r C TV, where
our friends walking in Johnson are in the mornings Steve Johnson.
And I was gonna say, Kenny Duncan, Kenny Webster, Ramont,
(21:31):
would you have ever guessed.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I'm gonna compliment Kenny.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Would you have ever guessed nobody can replace John Walton
radio guards.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I studied his radio show, dude, But would you ever.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Ever guess that Kenny could go from being the producer
of that show so stepping on the air so seamlessly
and do such a good job. I mean, that's amazing.
It really is all credit to Kenny. It's not an
easy thing to do. It's not an easy thing to
do because some people don't want you to do it
because they love John Walton reasonably so. And you know
(22:07):
that's not just a Houston show. That's number one in
Lake Charles. I mean, well, probably number one like Charles,
but number one at Baton Rouge, number one in New Orleans,
number one across the Gulf Coast.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I mean, it's a great show. Fantastic show.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
KQB two BT, which is our urban station, the Beat,
and k TBZ rod Ryan and the folks at the
Buzz twelve months of weekly Road to Hope radio.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Shows on KPRC.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
By the way, I think Connie Stagner at a Qurey
Pace for that and Russell Lebarro right is that the
two sponsors is there somebody else. Those two sponsors, they
bought airtime for that because the spot opened up and
the company.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Has to sell that spot.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
But everything else that is done is all donated, which
is pretty darn cool when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That is pretty darn cool.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
RFK Junior has been passed out of committee with a
fourteen thirteen vote. Funny all these Democrats voting against him.
And the guy is a lifelong Democrat, and you know,
the Kennedy's are Democrat Royalty. And he's that crazy Carolyn
(23:21):
coming out and did you see what he clapped back
at her? He made reference to her medications, pointing out
she's nuts. You know, I mean, you punched the guy
in enough times, he's gonna punch back. Patrese Lee, the
woman at the City of Houston who was running the
scam for Sevester Turner on the water department, is set
(23:41):
for court today and she's they're giving her a sweetheart deal,
so because nobody in government ever gets punished for anything.
And Alex Triantophalus is set for court tomorrow. He's the
third of the Lena Hidalgo. They've dropped the cases on
the first two and trentophilis is the last of the cases. Unfortunately,
(24:06):
uh Dan cogdil is his is his lawyer, and Dan
cogdial is a damn good lawyer. You've heard him on
our show. So I don't I think the punishment for
the crime that was committed alongside Lena Hidalgo is going
(24:28):
to be the shame and being dragged at court.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't. I don't think there's going to end up
and Lena.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
The amazing thing is the three staffers, they're not the ones.
The one that ought to be charged is Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's who. That's who they are to charge. Mike Whoberry show,
is this a repeat of the last ament? You so lazy?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I'm not going to talk about blow my nose, although
I did get a lot of nice emails from people
who did it. I one guy said, when it's crunchy,
have you ever tasted it? Notice it tastes like cheerios?
And I thought, well no, But now now I gotta know.
You know what I did the other day I hadn't
done in years.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I ate a bowl.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I don't eat cereal anymore because it's just straight sugar.
Not that I'm opposed to it. I just I'm out
of the habit. I eat cereal every morning growing up.
That's the ultimate get You know, your parents are busy.
You get up, get your box, and I mean the
whole Cereal ritual. Man, I wouldn't change that for the world.
Cereal cartoons, grilled cheese, sandwiches. I mean, there's just things
that I wouldn't change for the world. And I went
(25:41):
and got some that we had some cheerios, and I
poured the cheerios and I said, oh, this is going
to be like in the old days, because kids don't
actually like cheerios. But you dump enough sugar in there,
you go dredging. You go dredging in them cheerios. And
I said, sweetheart, where do we keep the sugar? I'm
useless at home. Probably figured this out. You don't need
to tell me. I'm aware of it. I'm useless at home.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So I said, sweetheart, where do we keep the sugar?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
And she said, we haven't kept sugar in this house
for ten years.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
And I thought, oh my god, this is like the
Third World, and like, what are we poor?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
What has happened? Why do we not keep sugar? And
she said, we agreed that we wouldn't have sugar in
the house. I feel like I feel like that was
one of those days. I was reading text messages and
she held a vote and it was like all in
favor of all a posed, and I got counted as
an eye.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
But I didn't really vote, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Yeah, it was an omnibus bill and it was buried
in there, you know, in the pork.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So I said, okay, well that's.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Not working for me right now, because I've already poured
the cereal into the bowl.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I need some sugar.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
And she said, well, we have a gave and I said, ugh,
I know something about pouring it poor, some about a
syrup as opposed to I need to see the grains, right.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I know it wasn't healthy, but I need to go
back to my childhood for a moment.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
And so we a couple of minutes later, she said, well,
I got monk fruit, and I thought, man, this is
taking that. But I was so desperate I dumped a
bunch of monk fruit in there and it worked because
we don't because when you don't eat sugar, the replacement
for sugar is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Doug Trunck and Broad.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Was one of our best members at the RCC, and
I got an email from him. You remember Doug Glasses.
He used to be a big boy. Now he's not
a big boy, and I bet, I bet he's lost.
I'm not even Aby's lost two hundred punds. Used to
be a big, big boy and now he's smaller than me,
which is not that small, but it's pretty small. I
(27:43):
bet he's lost two hundred pounds, he says, Zar I'm
heading into surgery to remove a tumor from my bladder.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Cancer sucks.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You know, whatever you're doing right now, driving around, patrolling,
answering calls, working at your home office, cleaning the house,
caring for a loved one, whatever you're doing, just take
a moment and pause right now for just a moment,
(28:16):
and be grateful, because there will be a time that
you will wish that you could be in the situation
you're in this very day. Maybe you can walk around,
there will be a time you can't. Maybe you can
get up on your own, There'll be a time you can't.
(28:38):
Maybe you have your full vision, there'll be a time
you won't. Maybe you don't have extreme excruciating pain in
your gut from some internal issue that are so common
maybe your wiener works. There'll be a time it won't.
Maybe you can go to the restroom. There'll be a
(29:01):
time you won't. You stop and think about that. The
good news about people confiding in me is it every
day I'm reminded that somebody else is going into cancer
surgery today. Prayerful that. I mean, look, going into surgery
in and of itself is stressful. And you know, you
(29:22):
got the recovery on the backside, and they're all smiling
at you. You hope there's monology you go in there. Yeah,
y'all are gonna carve me up. Three weeks from now,
I'm gonna be at home and still try, you know,
trying to heal. But it's a good it's good to
be still and know that I am God, as a
Bible commands. Good to take a moment and just think,
(29:45):
these are the salad days. These are the good old days.
And that was true when Biden was president. Also, by
the way, that's not just because Trump's doing amazing things.
It's only going downhill. And that's okay. That's the cycle
of life.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
We're all in it.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
But just take a moment, Smell the roses for a moment,
because you might not realize how glorious you've got it,
and you won't realize it till she's gone or he's gone,
or your kids are gone, or your job is gone,
or your health is gone. My mentor, Walter Zibly used
to tell me, Michael getting old as hell, be grateful
(30:25):
for your health. And when I was younger, all I
want to do is accumulate money.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
And then you get a.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Little older and you make a little money, and you go, oh,
I'd rather just have my health. But you can't appreciate
that until you're not as healthy as you once were.
I would like to do something for the next hour,
and that is weave into the show. Won't be this exclusively,
but if you are a person suffering a severe terminal
(30:53):
illness and you tune us in. I get emails every
day from someone I got thirty days or I got
you know whatever. I want you to call and just
quickly share your story, because for some people it feels better.
For me, it feels good to hear, to to put
things into perspective. I think there's a wisdom you know
when the when the lights are dimming and you're you're
(31:17):
on the way out. I think there's a wisdom that
you acquire. And the reason is it's not that you
add who was a philosopher, Latsu. I think you said
is that knowledge is addition and wisdom is subtraction. When
people are dying, they don't waste their time being mad
(31:38):
that the lady next door's cat meows too much, or
that she puts too much milk out for the cats,
or that the lawn blower comes and blows for too long,
or that whatever else. Something on the TV is not
the way way it's put when you when you're at
the end. I've seen them, and I've studied it. When
(32:02):
you're at the end, it's as if all the other
things fall away and then you're left with this kind
of image of Okay, this is what's important. These are
the things, the few things and people that are important.
Seven one three, nine nine nine, one thousand. And if
(32:24):
you have a very very bad condition and you're not terminal,
then we'll listen to that.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Ramon. It will be your job to quote unquote screen
the call.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Don't give me that look like that, you know what,
don't be like that. This is this is an important
part of what we do. There's no other show in
America that does what we do. We'll talk about RFK,
we'll talk about Toolsy Gavin, we'll talk about Trump, we'll
talk about cash Hotel, we'll talk about Doze, talk about
where all the money's going to USA, and we'll do
that this evening. But in the middle of doing that,
(33:00):
we're gonna we're gonna make some deep connections.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
You just you just do your job.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
You see it playing Blondie every song, every break, like
Groundhog plays.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Hey, did you see they got that alligator that can
predict whether
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Okay, so Michael Barry Show is on the air. Oh no,
that about me? Hey, you got to give me bay.
You can't success there now, I don't know better about me.
(00:39):
You get to give me back.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't success that me be what'sn't that?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Seven points? Or moral to follow them?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Two questions bring you an a today's class. You will
get one point for answering what the name of this
movie is?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You don't have to email me, just say that. Very good,
Katty shack it is?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You get one point. Now you can get six points
for answering a tougher question.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Are you ready? Turn it up? Who's singing? Background? Vocals?
What famous lead singer? Turn it up? I don't know
(01:43):
that voice rinting? Rewind it? See if you can get
this one's work six point.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Now you're sitting here, am a couple more times?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Background? You know who it is?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Not Glenn Fry, But that's a very good guest because
they were close friends and collaborating.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Very good guest.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
He's an artist who I would say is similar in
his singing style, era, stage presence. Very similar artists. Although
you might not have ever thought of it. This way,
it's big in the late seventies and into the eighties.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
He's uncredited.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It's not, it's not He's not credited on the album.
Kenny Loggins would later apologize to him, claiming it was
a memory last as to why he forgot to put
him on the album. This person was recording at the
same studio. Kenny Loggins came in and said, hey, and
he's background vocals. You want to pop in on this.
(03:02):
And this person wasn't as big as he would end
up becoming, and he was very angry that Kenny Loggins
did not credit him on this song.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You want another guest, you want another bit of information.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Huh. Christopher Cross is a good guest, but that's not
the Glen Fry realm. This guy was a solo art
Christmas solo artist. More kind of classic rock, a rock pop,
you know, i'd say, you know, more in the billy
(03:39):
Joel Glenn Fry.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Genre.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
He performed at the RCC multiple times. One of my favorites.
We didn't have a green room at the time. We
had a little uh. Somebody had donated a little uh.
I don't know what you call those. The white guys
are always in the little shed, the little modular unit,
(04:05):
you know, working on Then they go out and boss
people around and go back in there whatever that shed
is called. You know what I'm talking about. So Burt,
because that's what he does. Was so that's where we
put this singer. And Bert had his son there and
they'd been listening to this singer's songs all day.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So his son, Sean knew who this was. And I said, hey, Bert.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Take him to shed and make sure he's taken care of.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think he was recovered alcoholics.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I don't think he drank at that point, and he
sat out there and talked to Bert. And Bert's son,
more importantly, were closer to our charming as he could be,
just charming as he could be.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, it is who the money man it is.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yes, I always loved when money man any money. When
the moneyman's manager would email and say, hey, we're routing
through you know, would you like to have us on
October ninth, I would make one call. I'd call Kenny
Duncan Junr who loves money man, and I'd say, hey, Kenny,
(05:12):
I got an opportunity to get the money.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Man on October twelfth. And he'd say, how much.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I think it was twenty five, and I'd say twenty
five and he'd say I'm in and he would write
the check.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So oh no.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
If we'd done every.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Deal like that, which you know it's not easy to do,
then wow, that was I wouldn't have had any money worries.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Jim writes, My wife is Korean.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
She knows these so called Korean restaurants all in our
town of Huntsville, Alabama, are owned and run by Chinese.
They may even have Mexicans in the kitchen cooking and
cleaning up.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Waitresses may be Korean.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
And they started charging extra for side dishes, which is
not done in real Korean restaurants.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I asked Russell Lebarro. I don't know if it was on.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
The air a couple of weeks ago, or if it
was all Why textmax restaurants have exploded in popularity? You
know the first thing he credited, credited not just him,
but the industry, the fact that you can walk in
and start eating chips the minute you sit down.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And it's true, you know, you other industries, I mean,
the other cuisines.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
What am I thinking other types of food have? Now
you know, they'll bring out some bread different ones will
have like a hot bread like that's all to compare
to the chips. Gary Wrights, the Cozy Dog drive in
on sixth Street, Old US sixty six and Springfield, Illinois,
claims to be the inventor.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Of the corn dog. I'll take their word for it.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Joe Wrights, I love them too, corn dogs, and there's
a food truck that does corn dogs on one forty
six in mont Bellevue. Next time you go see your dad,
take a ride on one forty six. Go down to
Kilgore Parkway and look to your right before you go
under the railroad tracks. I didn't know that was a
Kilgore Parkway. I got family from Kilgore, or I did
not realize it was a Kilgore Parkway around here. John writes,
(07:05):
I saw that two Hands corn dog place after visiting
my favorite place around there, which is Chu Choose Sushi
conveyor belt style dining for sushi. It's a great concept
for family dining. I enjoy corn dogs as well, but
the two Hands place looks shady, so thanks for confirming.
I'll stick to a good mall corn dog at festivals
and state fair corn dog or festival slash state at
(07:27):
fair corn dog.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Maybe that's the name of it. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Remember we had that dude, Nuttier and squirrel turds that
was out in Katie. He was at the mall and
he would call in and he was kind of I mean,
I think he had about ten side hustles going on.
But he had a corn dog shop. Do you remember
he was real He's kind of like breathless all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Maybe he had hot dogs. He was nuts Crosby rights Czar.
I was going to University elementary school back in the fifties.
The school required that I'd be taken to a therapist
being an unusual child. I just made stuff up to
the questions that he asked. I'll never forget that day
in the kitchen that my mother opened the vial of
prescription medicine. She looked down at me, then at the
(08:09):
pills in her hand, and back at me and said,
there's nothing wrong with you. She turned and threw the
vial and the pills and everything in her hand in
the trash.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Thank you, mom.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yes, my experience is that many therapists learn they're trade
by years and years of figuring out their own trauma.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Getting pretty ad closing time when you're listening to the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
All right, I'll give you extra credit because most of
you are stuck at one point, and he is seven to.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Get an a one person knew it was any.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Money, David Louley.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
His email is.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Parrot sixty seven at AOL dot com. I'm not sure
what I'm more interested in, the Parrot sixty seven or AOL?
Like does he get his monthly bank Account's a draft
for AOL?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
How much is it? Somewhere? There's an AOL server.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That means somewhere there's customer service for AOL Somewhere there's
like think about this, it's like an actual company. Enthusi

Speaker 2 (09:21):

Speaker 1 (09:30):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He said you would know it's an old Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
No, I know that America Online they're still around.
Speaker 2 (09:38):

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Angela writes, I can't believe you actually ventured from Brin
City Walmart corndogs.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You should know better. Well, I got to eat a corner.
I live in Houston. Now.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
My niece Bailey was having her shower in Neederland, and
so I dropped my wife off at the shower, the
wedding shower, and then I drove to Orange to hang
out with my dad, and then I went to pick
up my mom and my wife in Nederland. So I
had to go from Orange over the Rainbow Bridge through
(10:18):
Bridge City to Neederland. And I'm driving along and I said,
wait a minute, wait a minute, that Walmart's somewhere right here.
They used to have the best hot dogs, the best
corn dogs I've ever eaten in my life, at that
little stand right in front of the Walmart. But I
couldn't remember exactly where the Walmart was round Bunch, Texas Avenue.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Where is it somewhere right around here. It's coming on
the right.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
So there's one main street through Bridge City. There's also
a cross street. But so I go all the way
up to the bridge and I turn around and I said,
I'm gonna go back and find it, Dan Walmart. So
I go back and there it is on the left.
I wasn't far past it. And I go in and
I come up with this great idea. It's going to
make all the splash when I go in to pick
(11:02):
up my wife at the wedding shower. I'm gonna have
ten corn dogs in my hand. Everybody's gonna have a
corn dog because corn dog, you know, it's kind of
like popcorn. There's things that you might not like. You
wouldn't go and buy them right now. But if I
handed you a piping hot corn dog right now, some
mustard on the side, you don't want mustard. What do
(11:23):
you want ketchup on a corn dot? You want it
on it or you want it to the side on it? Say,
don't like all that stuff makes stuff soggy. Soggy is
not my friend.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's why. Not like Cash Brown's Tater Todds, I don't
do soggy. Soggy is not Soggy is not good.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
So anyway I get about so I go up and
I said, hey, it's one one poor guy working in there,
and you know there's no air conditioning, knows little Taith
And it's it's one of those deals that they've pulled
up on a trailer and dropped off and put on
some cinder blocks and it's just a fryer in there,
and you know they got some they try to dress
it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's like the carnival. It's trash, And I said, hey,
could you could I put in a kind of big order. Sure,
what you got?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And he's making somebody else's and he's in there and
the grease is pop and it's the making probably eight
bucks an hour.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Poor guy, I said, can I get ten? Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Now, if you owned the shop, you go, I'm about
to make profit on ten corn dogs. If you're the
hourly employee, you're wanting to say, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
We don't do ten. We don't. We have a limit
one per customer, please. But he made it.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It took him a while. They weren't set up to
churn ten corn dogs. I will tell you that for sure.
They were not set up to churn ten corn dogs.
It took a while. By the time the tenth one
came out, I finished off. I polished off the first
one while I was waiting, just to make the just
to sue the weight.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I might have hit the second one too.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, So I probably did twelve all in because I
had to make up for the ones i'd eating, you know,
like the fries on our way home.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
But it wasn't but fifteen minutes to get to.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
The wedding shower from there, from bridge to Nederland, I
got pulled over. I get pulled over because I'm aggravated
that the corn dogs aren't gonna be hot anymore, They're
not gonna be delicious, and the splash I intended is
going to be lost on the crowd. And my wife
doesn't eat corn dogs anyway. So I'm trying in this
neighborhood to figure out where I am and I'm turned around.
(13:17):
I'm pissed off, and so I gunned it and kind
of did a fishtail around a corner and so here
it comes old boy and need a limpopo, and he
pulls me over. Fortunately he was a fan, so I
don't know if he thought I was drunk. It was
two o'clock in the afternoon, but he said, uh, well,
what is the address of where you're going? And so
I told it to him and he said, I tell
(13:37):
you what, you follow me, and I followed him, so
I got a popo escort. I don't know if he
thought I was in danger or drunk or I don't
know what he thought, but it was a you know
that beat the hell out of getting a ticket. I
tell you that, Amy writes my cousin was married to
a psychiatrist from India. She said Indian psychiatrists are better
because o Vivek, because America's psychiatrists choose psychiatry because they
(14:02):
themselves have problems, but Indian psychiatrists are in it for
the money.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
CJ writes, Zar, this is a good one.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Therapy is just the secularization of confessing our sins to
a priest.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's pretty good. That old boy works.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
At one of the shoppest locations like out in the country,
I don't remember which one, East Bronard maybe, and he
sits there tinkered on John Deere, attack attractors and coming
up with good stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Zar.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Therapy is just the secularization of confessing sins to a priest.
That's pretty deep if you think about it. Harry writes Czar.
As a drum teacher in Nashville for thirty years, my
worst parents I ever had to.

Eric writes, this is a preemptive thank you for being
our daily connection to our Houston home.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Having been a longtime windshield warrior in.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
The Houston metro in South Texas region, you've been writing
Shotgun with me each morning. Afternoon well, we started a
new chapter of life, and we recently embarked on a
new adventure. As such, technology and iHeartRadio is still allowing
you to ride shotgun with us each day. We departed Keema,
Texas this past Saturday, and we will be cruising the
great waterways of the Eastern and Midwestern United States over
(15:16):
the next twenty four months. This trek is known as
America's Great Loop. Long before the invention of railroads, this
country's expansion and development was entirely dependent upon these waterways.
We're excited to experience the great histories of the many
waterway cities, fishing villages, and canal lockdowns.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
How cool is that? Eric and Kathy, we all have fun.
Keep me informed, keep sending me emails with updates.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Radio Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Let's what you use for the last segment, or you
just replaying the last segment.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This segment's just a replay of the last Oh, well, then.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I can blow my nose.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
The doctor says, when we blow your nose, I got
a lot of stuff up there, she said, when you
blow it, is it productive?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I guess that's a judgment call.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
If you go online, you start reading about not they
use the term productive.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Do you have a productive cough, very productive. You have
no idea how productive I am.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Which I really appreciate because it's kind of it's a
built in compliment. And I'm one of these people that
likes to blow my nose and then look at it
and see what color it is?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
What color is it?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Well, disappointingly, for the last two months it was clear,
but lately we've gone from yellow to brown and that
with a touch of green, and that made me very happy.
You don't need sweet sweet mama. You don't need to
send me an email and say.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Let's gross, stop talk about it because I'm a dude.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Okay, And if you didn't figure out I'm a dude,
it's because I have stifled my dudehood in front of you. Okay,
we're not the same person. I'm very different from you,
and you don't want me to be like you. We
talk about snot and boggers and poop and pee and pretty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Girls, and I'm a dude.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
You're not a dude, but you don't need to be
bothered by the things I talk about. You just at
that point you just go, well, you know we're different,
and we move on down the road. All right, Ramon,
you got one point. It takes seven to get an A.
This will be worth four points. Okay, you kind of
need this one. To whom was this song offered? The
(17:42):
song was actually written for this person.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Turned up. You don't know it. You haven't guess it
by now. You don't know. Do you want to know? Huh? Who? Give?
(18:14):
And Nixon is all right? You have four points, you're
at five. You need seven to get an A. All right?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
For one point? Debbie Harry finished the song. The song
was incomplete when handed to her. She was given a
first screening of the movie for which this would air.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
What is that movie?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
American Jigglow? It is very well done, Ramone, very well done.
Rick Turner says, how much does aol cost you?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Ask?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Six to ninety nine a month? Look, I said eight bucks.
By the way, he's got a AOL handle.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Darren writes corn corn dog basket at chantilly bar in Laporte.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Not for every day, but every once in a while.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Ask Russell if he knows where a chantilly bar in
Laporte is.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Tzar.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Today we express, oh, this is from David Malsby. Today
we express our gratitude to Jerrar and Company, Mike and
Darlene Gerrar. They donated beef valued at one thousand dollars.
Every day David Malsby sends me an email with one
person or group that has done something special for Camp Hope.
(19:24):
It might be a million dollars, it might be in
this case one thousand dollars. But it all adds up
and it all comes from a good place. Some people
will say, well, I can't donate money. I don't have money.
Nobody asked you to. People will know if they need
to give. You don't need to point that out. But
since you clearly have a heart forgiving, how about you
(19:46):
donate time? You can do that and we have all
the needs you can imagine. Yesterday was Zar. I want
to take the opportunity today to express a deep appreciation
for you your organization. This I have nothing to do
with this, It says Robert Reese, Who's the rep who
handles their account. They don't pay, but the rep who
(20:07):
handles making sure we get them on the air a lot.
This all goes back to Robert Rees and Eddie Martini
in a little bit to Ramon. For twenty twenty four,
iHeartMedia donated two hundred four thousand dollars worth of airtime
to bring awareness.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
That Camp Hope is available to veterans.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I got an email this morning from a guy, a
relative of his, took his life as a marine cor
a veteran. He'd been struggling since he got out.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, So anyway, thank you to Robert Reese, who works
very hard.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
To make sure that Camp Hope stays on the air
at no cost to Camp Hope. To Eddie Martini who
allows this to happen and has a heart for Camp Hope.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
To Ramone who for.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
All these years has produced the Road to Hope radio
program where veterans get to tell their stories, and you know,
those stories are powerful because other people hear those stories
and they're similarly situated and they go.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You know what I'm going through, exactly what that guy
was going through.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
That was across the stations of seven ninety AM ninety
nine point one FM, which is CODA or Sonny seven
ninety is Sports seven ninety kp r C TV, where
our friends walking in Johnson are in the mornings Steve Johnson.
And I was gonna say, Kenny Duncan, Kenny Webster, Ramont,
(21:31):
would you have ever guessed.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I'm gonna compliment Kenny.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Would you have ever guessed nobody can replace John Walton
radio guards.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I studied his radio show, dude, But would you ever.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Ever guess that Kenny could go from being the producer
of that show so stepping on the air so seamlessly
and do such a good job. I mean, that's amazing.
It really is all credit to Kenny. It's not an
easy thing to do. It's not an easy thing to
do because some people don't want you to do it
because they love John Walton reasonably so. And you know
(22:07):
that's not just a Houston show. That's number one in
Lake Charles. I mean, well, probably number one like Charles,
but number one at Baton Rouge, number one in New Orleans,
number one across the Gulf Coast.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I mean, it's a great show. Fantastic show.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
KQB two BT, which is our urban station, the Beat,
and k TBZ rod Ryan and the folks at the
Buzz twelve months of weekly Road to Hope radio.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Shows on KPRC.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
By the way, I think Connie Stagner at a Qurey
Pace for that and Russell Lebarro right is that the
two sponsors is there somebody else. Those two sponsors, they
bought airtime for that because the spot opened up and
the company.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Has to sell that spot.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
But everything else that is done is all donated, which
is pretty darn cool when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That is pretty darn cool.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
RFK Junior has been passed out of committee with a
fourteen thirteen vote. Funny all these Democrats voting against him.
And the guy is a lifelong Democrat, and you know,
the Kennedy's are Democrat Royalty. And he's that crazy Carolyn
(23:21):
coming out and did you see what he clapped back
at her? He made reference to her medications, pointing out
she's nuts. You know, I mean, you punched the guy
in enough times, he's gonna punch back. Patrese Lee, the
woman at the City of Houston who was running the
scam for Sevester Turner on the water department, is set
(23:41):
for court today and she's they're giving her a sweetheart deal,
so because nobody in government ever gets punished for anything.
And Alex Triantophalus is set for court tomorrow. He's the
third of the Lena Hidalgo. They've dropped the cases on
the first two and trentophilis is the last of the cases. Unfortunately,
(24:06):
uh Dan cogdil is his is his lawyer, and Dan
cogdial is a damn good lawyer. You've heard him on
our show. So I don't I think the punishment for
the crime that was committed alongside Lena Hidalgo is going
(24:28):
to be the shame and being dragged at court.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't. I don't think there's going to end up
and Lena.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
The amazing thing is the three staffers, they're not the ones.
The one that ought to be charged is Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's who. That's who they are to charge. Mike Whoberry show,
is this a repeat of the last ament? You so lazy?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I'm not going to talk about blow my nose, although
I did get a lot of nice emails from people
who did it. I one guy said, when it's crunchy,
have you ever tasted it? Notice it tastes like cheerios?
And I thought, well no, But now now I gotta know.
You know what I did the other day I hadn't
done in years.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I ate a bowl.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I don't eat cereal anymore because it's just straight sugar.
Not that I'm opposed to it. I just I'm out
of the habit. I eat cereal every morning growing up.
That's the ultimate get You know, your parents are busy.
You get up, get your box, and I mean the
whole Cereal ritual. Man, I wouldn't change that for the world.
Cereal cartoons, grilled cheese, sandwiches. I mean, there's just things
that I wouldn't change for the world. And I went
(25:41):
and got some that we had some cheerios, and I
poured the cheerios and I said, oh, this is going
to be like in the old days, because kids don't
actually like cheerios. But you dump enough sugar in there,
you go dredging. You go dredging in them cheerios. And
I said, sweetheart, where do we keep the sugar? I'm
useless at home. Probably figured this out. You don't need
to tell me. I'm aware of it. I'm useless at home.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So I said, sweetheart, where do we keep the sugar?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
And she said, we haven't kept sugar in this house
for ten years.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
And I thought, oh my god, this is like the
Third World, and like, what are we poor?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
What has happened? Why do we not keep sugar? And
she said, we agreed that we wouldn't have sugar in
the house. I feel like I feel like that was
one of those days. I was reading text messages and
she held a vote and it was like all in
favor of all a posed, and I got counted as
an eye.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
But I didn't really vote, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Yeah, it was an omnibus bill and it was buried
in there, you know, in the pork.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So I said, okay, well that's.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Not working for me right now, because I've already poured
the cereal into the bowl.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I need some sugar.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
And she said, well, we have a gave and I said, ugh,
I know something about pouring it poor, some about a
syrup as opposed to I need to see the grains, right.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I know it wasn't healthy, but I need to go
back to my childhood for a moment.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
And so we a couple of minutes later, she said, well,
I got monk fruit, and I thought, man, this is
taking that. But I was so desperate I dumped a
bunch of monk fruit in there and it worked because
we don't because when you don't eat sugar, the replacement
for sugar is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Doug Trunck and Broad.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Was one of our best members at the RCC, and
I got an email from him. You remember Doug Glasses.
He used to be a big boy. Now he's not
a big boy, and I bet, I bet he's lost.
I'm not even Aby's lost two hundred punds. Used to
be a big, big boy and now he's smaller than me,
which is not that small, but it's pretty small. I
(27:43):
bet he's lost two hundred pounds, he says, Zar I'm
heading into surgery to remove a tumor from my bladder.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Cancer sucks.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You know, whatever you're doing right now, driving around, patrolling,
answering calls, working at your home office, cleaning the house,
caring for a loved one, whatever you're doing, just take
a moment and pause right now for just a moment,
(28:16):
and be grateful, because there will be a time that
you will wish that you could be in the situation
you're in this very day. Maybe you can walk around,
there will be a time you can't. Maybe you can
get up on your own, There'll be a time you can't.
(28:38):
Maybe you have your full vision, there'll be a time
you won't. Maybe you don't have extreme excruciating pain in
your gut from some internal issue that are so common
maybe your wiener works. There'll be a time it won't.
Maybe you can go to the restroom. There'll be a
(29:01):
time you won't. You stop and think about that. The
good news about people confiding in me is it every
day I'm reminded that somebody else is going into cancer
surgery today. Prayerful that. I mean, look, going into surgery
in and of itself is stressful. And you know, you
(29:22):
got the recovery on the backside, and they're all smiling
at you. You hope there's monology you go in there. Yeah,
y'all are gonna carve me up. Three weeks from now,
I'm gonna be at home and still try, you know,
trying to heal. But it's a good it's good to
be still and know that I am God, as a
Bible commands. Good to take a moment and just think,
(29:45):
these are the salad days. These are the good old days.
And that was true when Biden was president. Also, by
the way, that's not just because Trump's doing amazing things.
It's only going downhill. And that's okay. That's the cycle
of life.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
We're all in it.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
But just take a moment, Smell the roses for a moment,
because you might not realize how glorious you've got it,
and you won't realize it till she's gone or he's gone,
or your kids are gone, or your job is gone,
or your health is gone. My mentor, Walter Zibly used
to tell me, Michael getting old as hell, be grateful
(30:25):
for your health. And when I was younger, all I
want to do is accumulate money.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
And then you get a.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Little older and you make a little money, and you go, oh,
I'd rather just have my health. But you can't appreciate
that until you're not as healthy as you once were.
I would like to do something for the next hour,
and that is weave into the show. Won't be this exclusively,
but if you are a person suffering a severe terminal
(30:53):
illness and you tune us in. I get emails every
day from someone I got thirty days or I got
you know whatever. I want you to call and just
quickly share your story, because for some people it feels better.
For me, it feels good to hear, to to put
things into perspective. I think there's a wisdom you know
when the when the lights are dimming and you're you're
(31:17):
on the way out. I think there's a wisdom that
you acquire. And the reason is it's not that you
add who was a philosopher, Latsu. I think you said
is that knowledge is addition and wisdom is subtraction. When
people are dying, they don't waste their time being mad
(31:38):
that the lady next door's cat meows too much, or
that she puts too much milk out for the cats,
or that the lawn blower comes and blows for too long,
or that whatever else. Something on the TV is not
the way way it's put when you when you're at
the end. I've seen them, and I've studied it. When
(32:02):
you're at the end, it's as if all the other
things fall away and then you're left with this kind
of image of Okay, this is what's important. These are
the things, the few things and people that are important.
Seven one three, nine nine nine, one thousand. And if
(32:24):
you have a very very bad condition and you're not terminal,
then we'll listen to that.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Ramon. It will be your job to quote unquote screen
the call.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Don't give me that look like that, you know what,
don't be like that. This is this is an important
part of what we do. There's no other show in
America that does what we do. We'll talk about RFK,
we'll talk about Toolsy Gavin, we'll talk about Trump, we'll
talk about cash Hotel, we'll talk about Doze, talk about
where all the money's going to USA, and we'll do
that this evening. But in the middle of doing that,
(33:00):
we're gonna we're gonna make some deep connections.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
You just you just do your job.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
You see it playing Blondie every song, every break, like
Groundhog plays.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Hey, did you see they got that alligator that can
predict whether
