for a long name. Guy's got a lot of pickup.
It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty
cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.
There's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run

until he was dig it. Boy escalated quickly. I was
just explaining to your better head have here. When we
were tunneling out, we happened to have the main sewer line.

we told you the story that Oli Pardon was reported
very ill and her sister, her out of nowhere, was
(02:03):
putting up messages calling for prayers that making it seem
like she was about to die, and it was clear
that Dolly did not appreciate that, so she did a
video that said, I'm fine. Don't I look fine? I'm working.
I'm working today. That's why I'm dressed this way in
this Nashville country girl. Look because I've got work today.
Do I look like I'm please? I'm okay, And she
(02:28):
did not. It turns out apparently it's kidney stones, but
she was not happy with her sister for running her
mouth that way, as can sometimes happen. And we found
this voicemail that Dolly left for her sister.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh my Cliff, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That one of the best swamp tours I ever took
out in Hornge yesterday. I've got a house down on
Crystal Beach. It every time someone visits me, they all
want to take swamp towards and I've done just about
everyone around. Well, yesterday we went to dragon Lady Airboats.
Have you ever heard of them?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Dragon Lady?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What dragging lady airboat?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I have not sound like a tattoo parlam.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, I'll tell you what. It's an orange and we
went over there. It was the best swamp tour on
an airboat. I've never been on the airboat. That was
another thing. My aunt and uncle came down from Washington
State and all he wanted to do was right an
air boat. We went on this thing. It was over
an hour and a half long, and it was the
(04:09):
most fun swamp tour and most informative. It was just
so cool. I see those places you can't take a
regular boat, and it was just awesome. I wanted to
just let you know it was there. I put it
on face because they told everybody, you want to do
a swamp tour, this is the moment.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh, it's well. Airboats themselves are awesome because you can
get in really really shallow water. Yeah, because they don't
draft much very basically just a sheet of metal and
a fan when you get down to it. So do
you you live in Orange?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
No, I live in Conroe. Actually, I have a a
beach house down on Crystal Beach, so all of my
relatives and friends usually build it fen it's by the state.
They all come down to my house at Crystal Beach
and they all want to go on the swamp cor
We've been to the Gator Country out there in Beaumont.
(05:06):
Like I said, I've done with these with all my
friends and family. We've done swamp tours everywhere, and this
was hands down the most fun and exciting and informative
swamp car we've everton. He was wonderful. She's been having
of air boats since year was fifteen.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So it's a woman that leads this tour.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's yeah, dragon lady. I think her name is Shirley maybe,
but you look at dragon lady.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Doctor, Yeah, I'm on it is. She cute.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
She ain't hard to look at. My uncle was excited.
We put him up on the top seat next to her.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'll be damn, yeah, I'm looking at a video. But
that's like it's got It looks like a family that's
on the tour. They don't they don't show her. I
never heard of her. There's a there's an airboat when
you when you're on your way to Louisiana and you're
driving in right there on the north side of ten
at about Simmons Drive, which was what which was the
(06:13):
kind of the eastern edge of Orange. We lived right
off Simmons Drive in Riverside. Everybody I knew grew up there.
That was the old Navy base in World War Two,
and when the war was over, it became it was
military housing for a brief period of time, and then
it became kind of public housing, and that's where we
and literally everybody I knew lived there. I didn't know
anybody at the time that didn't live there. Now I
(06:35):
know there are probably people that didn't, but it seemed
like everybody I knew, and my uncle lived there, my
grandmother lived there, everybody that I went to school with,
everybody that I was related to, everybody lived a little
house on like destroyer. They were all named for naval vessels,
these old houses. Well the houses were only supposed to
mint were they only intended to survive World War two?
(06:59):
And they were still there till probably the eighties. I
mean they lasted a very long time, these little little
tiny houses.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Voted best Charter Captain and best live Entertainment in Orange County.
Did she just know where everything was or she's a
good storyteller? What was the deal?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's just the fact that she picture. I don't I
can't even tell you what there's a blue I can't
remember where there was a dock. She picked us up
at this dock and my aunt and uncle, my aunt
four years old. And anyway, she picks us up at
dock and I thought she was going to go straight
out to buy you, and she just goes right into
(07:39):
the the woods. It was crazy. I mean we went
in things you wouldn't take a best boat into and
just saw gators. And she knew all the flowers, the trees,
the animals, ever, the history. She was just wonderful. I mean,
(08:00):
I can't I can't give it enough stars.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, that's awesome, good. That makes me very happy to hear.
But what I was gonna say is right there off
I ten is a place that used to do tours
and they sold airboats. Ramon, can you call that Dragon
Lady airboat if we can get her on the line,
all right? Seven one three nine nine nine, one thousand,
want to hear it? He'll just go ahead and say it.
(08:26):
Sorry to Michael Barry Show, because mama was working on
a team. What did you get, dragged lady?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Captain Sally's her name. Sure you can listen to she'd
go down. And I wonder how I'm going to name
it Dragon Lady's folks said it carry her phone number
(08:59):
on the website is a three two one area code.
And I asked for what? I asked Ramone, where is
three two one? Because we love stuff like area codes?
And he said, that's Cape Canaveral. But he said it
like he was really like he was too excited to
(09:20):
tell me, like he had learned that he doesn't play
Jeopardy every night like I do, so he didn't get
an outlet for all his random knowledge. That's Cape Canaveral.
And I said, calm down, how do you know that's
Cape Canaveral. He said, get it, three two one, lift off,
get it. And I said, okay, you're a little too
(09:43):
excited about knowing the area code of Cape Canaveral. And
he said you were a little too excited to have
the Lady on before that. I said, good point, fair point,
all right, So now we're even. Let's call a truce
and go from here on the three two one area
code from Cape Canaveral. Although it says Orlando on my screen,
(10:04):
we have the Lady, the Dragon Lady. Captain Sally, Welcome
to the program.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Ma'am, Well, thank you, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Where have you been hiding all my life? I just
got the nicest review on you as the airboat operator.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Why are you known as Dragon Lady Airboats?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well? I think I'm a super nice person, but apparently
my friends think I breathe fire find the time. Really,
I guess so. So when I started my business, I
was going to just go with a simple name, but
they said, no, you're the Dragon Lady. It needs to
be Dragon Lady Airboats.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, you know what's amazing is is people are afraid
to do anything that's kind of outside the norm. It's
so memorable. Right, if you were Smith Airboats or Jones
Airboats or whatever else did, they would have forgotten. But
Dragon Lady Airboats, you remember.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That absolutely, and I want them to remember their trip
as well. I tried to make it a bucket list
trip for every single passenger.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
When did you start this business?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
About eight years ago? Nine years ago?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And what were you doing before that?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I was teaching school and science and decided I needed
to be outside. I tried to take each class outside
and get them involved in wild life and off their telephones,
off the distractions of life. And so I just decided
(11:37):
to get my captain's license. And I actually did it
the hard way. I could not have a small child
at the time and could not leave town to go
to a two week course to get my captain's license.
So I learned everything I needed to know and then
went and took my federal tests, passed everything with flying color,
(12:00):
got my license, and started my business.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I would guess you would be a great teacher. I
can tell that you enjoy knowledge and learning. You sound
very pleasant, and you have a wonderful voice, like a
very nice present.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Very much, Yeah, what did you very much? Science? Chemistry, physics, biology,
Earth science? Did you teach you all everything I did
at Community Christian School?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh? Well, okay, all right? So where are you from Florida?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I am originally from Melbourne, Florida.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Okay, how did you end up so you went to
you went all the way through high school?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
There?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Actually, when I was young, my father moved out to Texas.
So I got into airboating because, at age fourteen, my
father went on his first airboat ride and decided that
was all he ever wanted to do. So I grew
up in the outdoors in the airboats. All of our
family experiences were in an airboat, contrails, exploring. So I
(13:03):
just fell in love with the outdoors, fell in love
with airboats, and I build air boats with him as well.
We have American airboats in Orange.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh, that's the one I was talking about. Yes, and
then I was telling this story about that, y'all. Are
I think you're on the north side of it at
about Simmons Drive, Yes, sir, the Hogans. Do you know
the Hogans? The Hogans used to live us.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Absolutely, we own the home that they owned. Oh you're kidding, purchase.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
My dad used to work with mister Hogan. We used
to go over to that house all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, they're amazing people.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Do you own that house? Wow? What a small world.
I know that house very very very well. My dad's
going to be tickled peak.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh very cool.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So what what is your last name?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Floyd? Sally Floyd?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Who's your father?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I'm Floyd is my father.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's a wonder I don't know him. What so American
air Boats. I've called him before. In fact, I called
him to spec out an airboat. It's a it's a
long story, but uh it's it's it's been a few
years ago. I wanted to buy a boat from my
brother and my dad. Uh well, it's a long story.
I'll tell you off air. But anyway, y'all still make
(14:16):
the airboats.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We sure do.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I mean do you sell per year?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Anywhere from thirty to fifty?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
How much does an airboat cost?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
They average around one hundred thousand these days.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay, And what is the what is the I don't
know about what do you call the the part that
the platform that you stand on. I don't know the
proper term.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
An operators platform?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, well no, no, no, not the elevated but the
act you know, when you when you push the boat
into the water. What do you call that piece of
metal that you drop into the.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Water the bow?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Okay, that's what I thought that was called a bow.
And then so you y'all don't make that there you
bring that in.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No, we make it as well. We don't produce the
drive train, but we produce pretty much everything else.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And what kind of drive train do y'all use? What
engine is it?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Right now? We are primarily using a pleasure craft Marine
LSx seven point four leader naturally aspirated engines?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I was going to Ramon was wondering if it was
naturally aspirator or not. Okay, hold on just a moment,
Captain Salvage of dragon Boat, Dragon Lady Airboats. He's adorable.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
This is this is the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, donal bonic basement throw women
this wall. We received a call from a fellow who
said he had a great experience with an airboat shop
out of Orange. Knowing I'm from there, he wanted me
to know about it. He said it was Dragon Lady Airboats.
(15:55):
So Ramon proceeded to start calling Dragon Lady airboats with
the three two one get it. Cape Canaveral air cod
a zip code, not air code? What is it called? No?
No zip code? What's the area code? Area code? And
so we got Captain Sally on the line. She lives
(16:15):
in a house that I know very well because my
dad was friends with the owner. And it's American Airboats
that I could not remember the name of. That's right
there off of Ient. What a small world, of course,
it's a small town. But in any case, Captain Sally,
how much does a tour take? How much does it cost?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So I take private adventures only, and you can have
up to six passengers. Truck lasts for about an hour
and a half, and it's five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So the six passengers I had the boat of it
was four and then two up in the captain's chair,
right you and the other person, Yes, sir, okay. And
you said they can have five or they can have six.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
They can have a total of six.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Where is this person?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I have two down on each side of me. Down low, okay.
So that's three passengers in the front, three passengers across
the deck and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
An hour and a half, yes, sir, And where do
you put in? Are you over at Bluebird or are
you over at y'all? Where are you put in?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I do put in at Bluebirds. I meet my passengers
there at the dock, and I have trails that are
right there, so we are immediately on some really fun
trails that are almost like off roading in a jeep,
but we're in a boat.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Were you part of that? Were you part of the
English guy that came in and did the airboat tour?
Was that you?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
No, Okay, there was an English We just started airboat
rides there when we first moved to Orange in nineteen
eighty eight and had Supergator tours, and then I started
mine about nine years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Is every airboat custom made?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
For the most part, we have kind of standard features
that are proprietary to us, and then you pick what
color engine, additional lighting, power poles, whatever extra features we
discuss and we build it customized for you.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
How does an airboat compare to a traditional boat if
somebody has owned boats in what ways is it different
that we wouldn't expect.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
We can traverse dry land, shallow water vegetation that no
other boats can get through. They're very smooth. I have
almost every single trip I take out, I get the
comments that they are surprised at how smooth the airboat is.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Interesting. How many days a year do you think you
go out?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
At least two hundred?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Wow? And are you the only one doing it?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
What does your dad think of all this?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Oh, he's very proud, very proud.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Well, of course he should be.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I have been driving airboats by myself since I was
nine years old, driving commercially for him at fourteen years old,
and it is just in my blood. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Ramon said, you're out on a turkey hunt this morning.
You took our call out on a turkey hunt.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I did, I did, and I did shoot my turkey,
and I'm giving him a couple of minutes to bleed out.
It's both season and so we are following the trail.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
How good are you at archery?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, I've got my first turkey. I've never shot a
turkey before, and I'm first time I've ever shot a crossbow.
To be honest with you, but I have been fortunate
enough that you hand me a rifle some other weapon,
and I'm usually dead on.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You're my kind of girl. Do you do a turkey
call yourself?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
There's somebody there with you do it?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
No, actually they I was hoping to shoot a deer
this morning. I've been watching some really nice books come
into my feeter, and the turkeys just would not leave.
So I took the opportunity to get a turkey with
a crossbow as well.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Well, I'm no expert in that, but that's supposed to
be very difficult.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It is very difficult. They do not they do not
sit still. They are constantly moving and it was definitely
a trick to get a good shot. Where are you, honey,
We are in Serita, Texas. We've got a little rants
down here close to Kingsville.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Are you married?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
No, I am not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
But you have how many kids? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I have one sixteen year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And is she involved in the business, No, sir.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
She wants to be a doctor, and so I'm doing
everything I can to keep her focused on that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You don't see. You don't see airboat tours in her future. No, sir,
I think that's I think that's just fantastic. So you
said about an hour and a half for the tour.
What's the most tours you've ever done in a day?
Six six tours. That's a long day. You're starting pretty early.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's a very long day, and so I not only
do these hour and a half trips during the day,
but I also offer really neat adventure that is a
sunset trip, and we leave out about forty five minutes
before dark. Watch the sun go down out through the
trees in the marsh or the swamp, and then we
spotlight alligators and bullfrogs, and it's just a little bit
(21:46):
more mysterious out there, and a very very cool adventure.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Probably go through an entire ice chest on that that
sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Hey, I cater to the group. They're welcome to bring
their ice chests with whatever they like.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I love that you are putting Orange in such a
positive spotlight. I grew up in Orange. I left, but
I have very very fond feelings towards the people, and
the place is very, very very good to me. I
grew up before you were on. I was telling the
story because I was talking about the airboat place. Obviously
I didn't know that was your family's place. But I
(22:21):
grew up in Riverside like everybody else I knew. Grew
up in Riverside, and then we moved over near Western
Starks High School and then we moved out to Orangefield.
I actually lived in Mclewis if you know where that is.
I ten and sixty two. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. It's
a great place to grow up. I wouldn't change it
for the world. Wonderful people. I think this is the
(22:43):
neatest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Captain Sally, Well, thank you, and I feel very blessed
because we have got a little hidden gym of a swampt.
I'm able to traverse and take my passengers back through
the Blue Elbow Swamp.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
And it's for some reason found a turkey call and
feels the need to interrupt our conversation with it. But
he's very excited. He's already called his wife and they're
going to be coming to orange to take his two
boys on an airboat tour. He's extremely excited. How booked
up are you?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I say, extremely booked up? So it's best to call
about two weeks in advance. Well, if it's a holiday
coming up, then sometimes even more than that. I have
waiting lists.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I suspect that's going to get a whole lot worse
after this conversation online. She is dragon Lady Airboats. You
are just adorable. Thank you for being on with us,
Captain Sally.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yes, indeed, how about that, Ramon. There's so many neat
people around, you know, if you just keep your mind open,
there's so many interesting people. Things that people think are
you know, average, run on the mill, get you get
them talking, and you realize people are just fast. I mean,
she interrupted her turkey, she shot the turkey, she's letting
(24:03):
the bleed out, has a conversation and goes back to get.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Her turkey about Texas and you're listening to my son
on the Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I was going to give out Captain Sally's phone number
for Dragon Lady Airboats, but I'm worried we'll interrupt her
turkey hunt. How about that? So we went to break
and Ramone said, guess what she's doing right now? I
(24:36):
give up. She's in the tub. I don't know what
would be a thing that we've interrupted, or that she's
turkey hunting. And so I thought she was on a
turkey hunt. I didn't realize she had just killed a turkey.
How about that in the middle of her turkey hunt
she called back. You know, people like her are very smart.
(25:00):
She will get a lot of business off our show,
and it's all or nothing. If she didn't take the call,
then she doesn't get any of that business. Oh she
would have probably got because that nice man that called
in and he mentioned dragging Lady airboat, so so a
few people might might have looked that up. But after
going on, everybody goes, wow, she's so charing, and you know,
(25:22):
she reminds me of so many of my teachers from on.
You know, she's got the science teacher mentality. And she's
out on an airboat, so you know, while she's going
up in there, she's telling you about the different things
that are growing and why the bullfrog is you know,
is croaking like that, and then there's one that's in heat,
(25:44):
and then there's one that's wounded, and then that one's
thirty eight years old. You can tell by the number
of rings on his ear lobe or whatever else. Yeah,
they do have earlobes, it's just kind of different kind
of ear lobe. And then she tells you about the tree.
You know, she tells you everything about out the swamp
that you would not otherwise expect, and in such a
(26:04):
charming way. She just adorable. I wish she was my aunt.
If she was my aunt, I would call Captain Sally
every day when I got off and I would ask her.
There are a lot of people in my life who
I may tell me one thing per day, whether it's
a legal thing or a police thing or a medical thing,
and they don't appreciate it. But I'm relentless, and I
(26:25):
say it as if they're supposed to do it. So
I'll call and I'll say my opening line is what
you got for me? And they'll tell me their their
fact or perspective or experience for the day. But with
Captain Sally, I could probably do two a day for her.
I bet she could do two. Did you set yours
up already? You better set it up right now, because
otherwise this is what always happens to me. I don't
(26:47):
give out the name of my limo driver anymore because
I go or my cigar I never forget. I used
to do the Ashton Cabinet number seven, and so I
call over one day and I say, Hey, I'm gonna
swing by. Can I get one hundred sticks? He said
they're out. We mean they're out. They sold out, And
I said that's ridiculous. How do they how do they
sell out? They're in the business of selling cigars. He said.
(27:10):
I called a rep and told him I need some cigars,
and the rep said, we're out. He said, I really
need these for Michael Barry. That's all he smokes. And
the guy said, well, he's the reason we're out. Once
he started talking about him, we started selling them, and
they were gonna do like some nice gift because they
(27:30):
sold so many cigars. But instead of giving me a
gift for how many cigars of theirs I sold, they're
not a show sponsor. They instead just ran out and
couldn't repeat them. So I moved over to a different cigar,
which I'm not now going to say, and started smoking
that and Ashton Cabinet's loss or Ashton's loss, because I
buy a lot of I give cigars as gifts because
(27:53):
nothing really says I love you quite like here's some cancer,
you know, but I give cigars as a gift. And uh,
between that and the ones I smoke. I do parties
at my house. We'll do might be twenty of us
smoking and I host, so it'll be forty cigars right there. Yeah. Anyway,
it's dragonladyairboats dot Com. Should I give the phone number remote?
(28:15):
But if but what if everybody's calling her and she'll
have to turn her phone off? She was just adorable.
I liked her so much. All right, her phone number is.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Ahead, Okay, thank you. Recently I got a I lived
just off of West Park Tollway in Richmond mailing address,
and just the north of the West Park is Katie.
So I didn't really know from elections who my district
for the Texas House was, what who the representative was.
(29:47):
But I did get a newsletter for this fall from
a doctor, Md. Sulman Lalaani, So evidently he is our
district or mind particular representative here, and I wanted to
know because there's nowhere on the newsletter that says if
(30:09):
he's Democrat, if he's Republican, blah blah blah blah blah,
and I wanted to know a little bit about him.
He was elected in twenty twenty three for the first time.
Was the first information that I got from his representative
when I called his sugar Land office.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So a couple of.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Things with this call. I wanted to know what you
knew about him within the Texas House, and then I
received information from Aaron, the representative at Sugarland that answered
the call, and so then I had some concerns and
I had a contentious discussion with Aaron in regards to
(30:46):
was doctor Lalani. One of the folks who ended up
leaving Texas and running for the hills up in Chicago
or New York or whatever. And so then I did
get my answer to that, So I'll go ahead and.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Michael, No, I don't know anything about this person. Unfortunately,
if they don't tell you and you're in Texas, they're
a Democrat. That's how you know.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very Show is on the air. I have
her Americans.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm prood to tell you today that I signed legislation
that without law Russia forever, we'll get him bobbing in
five minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
If I get to like it, someone made around.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I notice when you get to disliking someone standing wround
for a long name. Guy's got a lot of pickup.
It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty
cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.
There's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run
good on regular guas. What do you say, is that
the new bluesmobile or what thankes?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
A cigarette lader?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I sure appreciate it, sir, if you could find it
in your heart to hang him up by his neck
until he was dig it. Boy escalated quickly. I was
just explaining to your better head have here. When we
were tunneling out, we happened to have the main sewer line.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Dumb luck that, and we followed that till we busted
out of jail.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
No man pop.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We released her. She has on our own recalls.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
One side and call.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah seven nine one thousand. Before we get started yesterday,
we told you the story that Oli Pardon was reported
very ill and her sister, her out of nowhere, was
(02:03):
putting up messages calling for prayers that making it seem
like she was about to die, and it was clear
that Dolly did not appreciate that, so she did a
video that said, I'm fine. Don't I look fine? I'm working.
I'm working today. That's why I'm dressed this way in
this Nashville country girl. Look because I've got work today.
Do I look like I'm please? I'm okay, And she
(02:28):
did not. It turns out apparently it's kidney stones, but
she was not happy with her sister for running her
mouth that way, as can sometimes happen. And we found
this voicemail that Dolly left for her sister.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
To an automatic voice message system at the tone please
record your message. When you have finished recording, you may
hang up or press one for more options.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Hi, bitch, sister, Yeah, you know this is your sister
on death bed. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
If I ever hear you say another word about my
damn kidney stones or U TI infection or venereal diseases
from Kenny Rogers. I will end you see you at Thanksgiving. Bitch.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh my Cliff, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That one of the best swamp tours I ever took
out in Hornge yesterday. I've got a house down on
Crystal Beach. It every time someone visits me, they all
want to take swamp towards and I've done just about
everyone around. Well, yesterday we went to dragon Lady Airboats.
Have you ever heard of them?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Dragon Lady?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What dragging lady airboat?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I have not sound like a tattoo parlam.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, I'll tell you what. It's an orange and we
went over there. It was the best swamp tour on
an airboat. I've never been on the airboat. That was
another thing. My aunt and uncle came down from Washington
State and all he wanted to do was right an
air boat. We went on this thing. It was over
an hour and a half long, and it was the
(04:09):
most fun swamp tour and most informative. It was just
so cool. I see those places you can't take a
regular boat, and it was just awesome. I wanted to
just let you know it was there. I put it
on face because they told everybody, you want to do
a swamp tour, this is the moment.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh, it's well. Airboats themselves are awesome because you can
get in really really shallow water. Yeah, because they don't
draft much very basically just a sheet of metal and
a fan when you get down to it. So do
you you live in Orange?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
No, I live in Conroe. Actually, I have a a
beach house down on Crystal Beach, so all of my
relatives and friends usually build it fen it's by the state.
They all come down to my house at Crystal Beach
and they all want to go on the swamp cor
We've been to the Gator Country out there in Beaumont.
(05:06):
Like I said, I've done with these with all my
friends and family. We've done swamp tours everywhere, and this
was hands down the most fun and exciting and informative
swamp car we've everton. He was wonderful. She's been having
of air boats since year was fifteen.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So it's a woman that leads this tour.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's yeah, dragon lady. I think her name is Shirley maybe,
but you look at dragon lady.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Doctor, Yeah, I'm on it is. She cute.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
She ain't hard to look at. My uncle was excited.
We put him up on the top seat next to her.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'll be damn, yeah, I'm looking at a video. But
that's like it's got It looks like a family that's
on the tour. They don't they don't show her. I
never heard of her. There's a there's an airboat when
you when you're on your way to Louisiana and you're
driving in right there on the north side of ten
at about Simmons Drive, which was what which was the
(06:13):
kind of the eastern edge of Orange. We lived right
off Simmons Drive in Riverside. Everybody I knew grew up there.
That was the old Navy base in World War Two,
and when the war was over, it became it was
military housing for a brief period of time, and then
it became kind of public housing, and that's where we
and literally everybody I knew lived there. I didn't know
anybody at the time that didn't live there. Now I
(06:35):
know there are probably people that didn't, but it seemed
like everybody I knew, and my uncle lived there, my
grandmother lived there, everybody that I went to school with,
everybody that I was related to, everybody lived a little
house on like destroyer. They were all named for naval vessels,
these old houses. Well the houses were only supposed to
mint were they only intended to survive World War two?
(06:59):
And they were still there till probably the eighties. I
mean they lasted a very long time, these little little
tiny houses.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Voted best Charter Captain and best live Entertainment in Orange County.
Did she just know where everything was or she's a
good storyteller? What was the deal?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's just the fact that she picture. I don't I
can't even tell you what there's a blue I can't
remember where there was a dock. She picked us up
at this dock and my aunt and uncle, my aunt
four years old. And anyway, she picks us up at
dock and I thought she was going to go straight
out to buy you, and she just goes right into
(07:39):
the the woods. It was crazy. I mean we went
in things you wouldn't take a best boat into and
just saw gators. And she knew all the flowers, the trees,
the animals, ever, the history. She was just wonderful. I mean,
(08:00):
I can't I can't give it enough stars.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, that's awesome, good. That makes me very happy to hear.
But what I was gonna say is right there off
I ten is a place that used to do tours
and they sold airboats. Ramon, can you call that Dragon
Lady airboat if we can get her on the line,
all right? Seven one three nine nine nine, one thousand,
want to hear it? He'll just go ahead and say it.
(08:26):
Sorry to Michael Barry Show, because mama was working on
a team. What did you get, dragged lady?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Captain Sally's her name. Sure you can listen to she'd
go down. And I wonder how I'm going to name
it Dragon Lady's folks said it carry her phone number
(08:59):
on the website is a three two one area code.
And I asked for what? I asked Ramone, where is
three two one? Because we love stuff like area codes?
And he said, that's Cape Canaveral. But he said it
like he was really like he was too excited to
(09:20):
tell me, like he had learned that he doesn't play
Jeopardy every night like I do, so he didn't get
an outlet for all his random knowledge. That's Cape Canaveral.
And I said, calm down, how do you know that's
Cape Canaveral. He said, get it, three two one, lift off,
get it. And I said, okay, you're a little too
(09:43):
excited about knowing the area code of Cape Canaveral. And
he said you were a little too excited to have
the Lady on before that. I said, good point, fair point,
all right, So now we're even. Let's call a truce
and go from here on the three two one area
code from Cape Canaveral. Although it says Orlando on my screen,
(10:04):
we have the Lady, the Dragon Lady. Captain Sally, Welcome
to the program.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Ma'am, Well, thank you, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Where have you been hiding all my life? I just
got the nicest review on you as the airboat operator.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Why are you known as Dragon Lady Airboats?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well? I think I'm a super nice person, but apparently
my friends think I breathe fire find the time. Really,
I guess so. So when I started my business, I
was going to just go with a simple name, but
they said, no, you're the Dragon Lady. It needs to
be Dragon Lady Airboats.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, you know what's amazing is is people are afraid
to do anything that's kind of outside the norm. It's
so memorable. Right, if you were Smith Airboats or Jones
Airboats or whatever else did, they would have forgotten. But
Dragon Lady Airboats, you remember.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That absolutely, and I want them to remember their trip
as well. I tried to make it a bucket list
trip for every single passenger.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
When did you start this business?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
About eight years ago? Nine years ago?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And what were you doing before that?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I was teaching school and science and decided I needed
to be outside. I tried to take each class outside
and get them involved in wild life and off their telephones,
off the distractions of life. And so I just decided
(11:37):
to get my captain's license. And I actually did it
the hard way. I could not have a small child
at the time and could not leave town to go
to a two week course to get my captain's license.
So I learned everything I needed to know and then
went and took my federal tests, passed everything with flying color,
(12:00):
got my license, and started my business.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I would guess you would be a great teacher. I
can tell that you enjoy knowledge and learning. You sound
very pleasant, and you have a wonderful voice, like a
very nice present.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Very much, Yeah, what did you very much? Science? Chemistry, physics, biology,
Earth science? Did you teach you all everything I did
at Community Christian School?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh? Well, okay, all right? So where are you from Florida?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I am originally from Melbourne, Florida.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Okay, how did you end up so you went to
you went all the way through high school?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
There?
Speaker 6 (12:39):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Actually, when I was young, my father moved out to Texas.
So I got into airboating because, at age fourteen, my
father went on his first airboat ride and decided that
was all he ever wanted to do. So I grew
up in the outdoors in the airboats. All of our
family experiences were in an airboat, contrails, exploring. So I
(13:03):
just fell in love with the outdoors, fell in love
with airboats, and I build air boats with him as well.
We have American airboats in Orange.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh, that's the one I was talking about. Yes, and
then I was telling this story about that, y'all. Are
I think you're on the north side of it at
about Simmons Drive, Yes, sir, the Hogans. Do you know
the Hogans? The Hogans used to live us.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Absolutely, we own the home that they owned. Oh you're kidding, purchase.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
My dad used to work with mister Hogan. We used
to go over to that house all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, they're amazing people.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Do you own that house? Wow? What a small world.
I know that house very very very well. My dad's
going to be tickled peak.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh very cool.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So what what is your last name?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Floyd? Sally Floyd?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Who's your father?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I'm Floyd is my father.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's a wonder I don't know him. What so American
air Boats. I've called him before. In fact, I called
him to spec out an airboat. It's a it's a
long story, but uh it's it's it's been a few
years ago. I wanted to buy a boat from my
brother and my dad. Uh well, it's a long story.
I'll tell you off air. But anyway, y'all still make
(14:16):
the airboats.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We sure do.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I mean do you sell per year?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Anywhere from thirty to fifty?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
How much does an airboat cost?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
They average around one hundred thousand these days.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay, And what is the what is the I don't
know about what do you call the the part that
the platform that you stand on. I don't know the
proper term.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
An operators platform?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, well no, no, no, not the elevated but the
act you know, when you when you push the boat
into the water. What do you call that piece of
metal that you drop into the.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Water the bow?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Okay, that's what I thought that was called a bow.
And then so you y'all don't make that there you
bring that in.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No, we make it as well. We don't produce the
drive train, but we produce pretty much everything else.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And what kind of drive train do y'all use? What
engine is it?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Right now? We are primarily using a pleasure craft Marine
LSx seven point four leader naturally aspirated engines?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I was going to Ramon was wondering if it was
naturally aspirator or not. Okay, hold on just a moment,
Captain Salvage of dragon Boat, Dragon Lady Airboats. He's adorable.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
This is this is the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, donal bonic basement throw women
this wall. We received a call from a fellow who
said he had a great experience with an airboat shop
out of Orange. Knowing I'm from there, he wanted me
to know about it. He said it was Dragon Lady Airboats.
(15:55):
So Ramon proceeded to start calling Dragon Lady airboats with
the three two one get it. Cape Canaveral air cod
a zip code, not air code? What is it called? No?
No zip code? What's the area code? Area code? And
so we got Captain Sally on the line. She lives
(16:15):
in a house that I know very well because my
dad was friends with the owner. And it's American Airboats
that I could not remember the name of. That's right
there off of Ient. What a small world, of course,
it's a small town. But in any case, Captain Sally,
how much does a tour take? How much does it cost?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So I take private adventures only, and you can have
up to six passengers. Truck lasts for about an hour
and a half, and it's five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So the six passengers I had the boat of it
was four and then two up in the captain's chair,
right you and the other person, Yes, sir, okay. And
you said they can have five or they can have six.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
They can have a total of six.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Where is this person?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I have two down on each side of me. Down low, okay.
So that's three passengers in the front, three passengers across
the deck and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
An hour and a half, yes, sir, And where do
you put in? Are you over at Bluebird or are
you over at y'all? Where are you put in?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I do put in at Bluebirds. I meet my passengers
there at the dock, and I have trails that are
right there, so we are immediately on some really fun
trails that are almost like off roading in a jeep,
but we're in a boat.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Were you part of that? Were you part of the
English guy that came in and did the airboat tour?
Was that you?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
No, Okay, there was an English We just started airboat
rides there when we first moved to Orange in nineteen
eighty eight and had Supergator tours, and then I started
mine about nine years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Is every airboat custom made?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
For the most part, we have kind of standard features
that are proprietary to us, and then you pick what
color engine, additional lighting, power poles, whatever extra features we
discuss and we build it customized for you.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
How does an airboat compare to a traditional boat if
somebody has owned boats in what ways is it different
that we wouldn't expect.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
We can traverse dry land, shallow water vegetation that no
other boats can get through. They're very smooth. I have
almost every single trip I take out, I get the
comments that they are surprised at how smooth the airboat is.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Interesting. How many days a year do you think you
go out?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
At least two hundred?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Wow? And are you the only one doing it?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
What does your dad think of all this?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Oh, he's very proud, very proud.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Well, of course he should be.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I have been driving airboats by myself since I was
nine years old, driving commercially for him at fourteen years old,
and it is just in my blood. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Ramon said, you're out on a turkey hunt this morning.
You took our call out on a turkey hunt.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I did, I did, and I did shoot my turkey,
and I'm giving him a couple of minutes to bleed out.
It's both season and so we are following the trail.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
How good are you at archery?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, I've got my first turkey. I've never shot a
turkey before, and I'm first time I've ever shot a crossbow.
To be honest with you, but I have been fortunate
enough that you hand me a rifle some other weapon,
and I'm usually dead on.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You're my kind of girl. Do you do a turkey
call yourself?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
There's somebody there with you do it?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
No, actually they I was hoping to shoot a deer
this morning. I've been watching some really nice books come
into my feeter, and the turkeys just would not leave.
So I took the opportunity to get a turkey with
a crossbow as well.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Well, I'm no expert in that, but that's supposed to
be very difficult.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It is very difficult. They do not they do not
sit still. They are constantly moving and it was definitely
a trick to get a good shot. Where are you, honey,
We are in Serita, Texas. We've got a little rants
down here close to Kingsville.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Are you married?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
No, I am not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
But you have how many kids? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I have one sixteen year old daughter.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And is she involved in the business, No, sir.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
She wants to be a doctor, and so I'm doing
everything I can to keep her focused on that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You don't see. You don't see airboat tours in her future. No, sir,
I think that's I think that's just fantastic. So you
said about an hour and a half for the tour.
What's the most tours you've ever done in a day?
Six six tours. That's a long day. You're starting pretty early.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's a very long day, and so I not only
do these hour and a half trips during the day,
but I also offer really neat adventure that is a
sunset trip, and we leave out about forty five minutes
before dark. Watch the sun go down out through the
trees in the marsh or the swamp, and then we
spotlight alligators and bullfrogs, and it's just a little bit
(21:46):
more mysterious out there, and a very very cool adventure.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Probably go through an entire ice chest on that that
sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Hey, I cater to the group. They're welcome to bring
their ice chests with whatever they like.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I love that you are putting Orange in such a
positive spotlight. I grew up in Orange. I left, but
I have very very fond feelings towards the people, and
the place is very, very very good to me. I
grew up before you were on. I was telling the
story because I was talking about the airboat place. Obviously
I didn't know that was your family's place. But I
(22:21):
grew up in Riverside like everybody else I knew. Grew
up in Riverside, and then we moved over near Western
Starks High School and then we moved out to Orangefield.
I actually lived in Mclewis if you know where that is.
I ten and sixty two. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. It's
a great place to grow up. I wouldn't change it
for the world. Wonderful people. I think this is the
(22:43):
neatest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Captain Sally, Well, thank you, and I feel very blessed
because we have got a little hidden gym of a swampt.
I'm able to traverse and take my passengers back through
the Blue Elbow Swamp.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
And it's for some reason found a turkey call and
feels the need to interrupt our conversation with it. But
he's very excited. He's already called his wife and they're
going to be coming to orange to take his two
boys on an airboat tour. He's extremely excited. How booked
up are you?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I say, extremely booked up? So it's best to call
about two weeks in advance. Well, if it's a holiday
coming up, then sometimes even more than that. I have
waiting lists.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I suspect that's going to get a whole lot worse
after this conversation online. She is dragon Lady Airboats. You
are just adorable. Thank you for being on with us,
Captain Sally.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yes, indeed, how about that, Ramon. There's so many neat
people around, you know, if you just keep your mind open,
there's so many interesting people. Things that people think are
you know, average, run on the mill, get you get
them talking, and you realize people are just fast. I mean,
she interrupted her turkey, she shot the turkey, she's letting
(24:03):
the bleed out, has a conversation and goes back to get.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Her turkey about Texas and you're listening to my son
on the Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I was going to give out Captain Sally's phone number
for Dragon Lady Airboats, but I'm worried we'll interrupt her
turkey hunt. How about that? So we went to break
and Ramone said, guess what she's doing right now? I
(24:36):
give up. She's in the tub. I don't know what
would be a thing that we've interrupted, or that she's
turkey hunting. And so I thought she was on a
turkey hunt. I didn't realize she had just killed a turkey.
How about that in the middle of her turkey hunt
she called back. You know, people like her are very smart.
(25:00):
She will get a lot of business off our show,
and it's all or nothing. If she didn't take the call,
then she doesn't get any of that business. Oh she
would have probably got because that nice man that called
in and he mentioned dragging Lady airboat, so so a
few people might might have looked that up. But after
going on, everybody goes, wow, she's so charing, and you know,
(25:22):
she reminds me of so many of my teachers from on.
You know, she's got the science teacher mentality. And she's
out on an airboat, so you know, while she's going
up in there, she's telling you about the different things
that are growing and why the bullfrog is you know,
is croaking like that, and then there's one that's in heat,
(25:44):
and then there's one that's wounded, and then that one's
thirty eight years old. You can tell by the number
of rings on his ear lobe or whatever else. Yeah,
they do have earlobes, it's just kind of different kind
of ear lobe. And then she tells you about the tree.
You know, she tells you everything about out the swamp
that you would not otherwise expect, and in such a
(26:04):
charming way. She just adorable. I wish she was my aunt.
If she was my aunt, I would call Captain Sally
every day when I got off and I would ask her.
There are a lot of people in my life who
I may tell me one thing per day, whether it's
a legal thing or a police thing or a medical thing,
and they don't appreciate it. But I'm relentless, and I
(26:25):
say it as if they're supposed to do it. So
I'll call and I'll say my opening line is what
you got for me? And they'll tell me their their
fact or perspective or experience for the day. But with
Captain Sally, I could probably do two a day for her.
I bet she could do two. Did you set yours
up already? You better set it up right now, because
otherwise this is what always happens to me. I don't
(26:47):
give out the name of my limo driver anymore because
I go or my cigar I never forget. I used
to do the Ashton Cabinet number seven, and so I
call over one day and I say, Hey, I'm gonna
swing by. Can I get one hundred sticks? He said
they're out. We mean they're out. They sold out, And
I said that's ridiculous. How do they how do they
sell out? They're in the business of selling cigars. He said.
(27:10):
I called a rep and told him I need some cigars,
and the rep said, we're out. He said, I really
need these for Michael Barry. That's all he smokes. And
the guy said, well, he's the reason we're out. Once
he started talking about him, we started selling them, and
they were gonna do like some nice gift because they
(27:30):
sold so many cigars. But instead of giving me a
gift for how many cigars of theirs I sold, they're
not a show sponsor. They instead just ran out and
couldn't repeat them. So I moved over to a different cigar,
which I'm not now going to say, and started smoking
that and Ashton Cabinet's loss or Ashton's loss, because I
buy a lot of I give cigars as gifts because
(27:53):
nothing really says I love you quite like here's some cancer,
you know, but I give cigars as a gift. And uh,
between that and the ones I smoke. I do parties
at my house. We'll do might be twenty of us
smoking and I host, so it'll be forty cigars right there. Yeah. Anyway,
it's dragonladyairboats dot Com. Should I give the phone number remote?
(28:15):
But if but what if everybody's calling her and she'll
have to turn her phone off? She was just adorable.
I liked her so much. All right, her phone number is.
But then if you call then you won't be able
to Cauzelle. She'll you'll you'll what You'll email her? Okay,

calling her? Three two one two sixty six fourteen ninety eight.

Somebody I know has a fourteen nine at the end
(29:01):

me search by that. But somebody I know has a
fourteen ninety eight at the end of their phone number.
Three two one two sixty six fourteen ninety eight. Let's
go to Kathy. Since it's a ladies they we'll put
ladies first. Kathy, Yes you're up, sweetheart, go ahead, yes, yes, man, go.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Ahead, Okay, thank you. Recently I got a I lived
just off of West Park Tollway in Richmond mailing address,
and just the north of the West Park is Katie.
So I didn't really know from elections who my district
for the Texas House was, what who the representative was.
(29:47):
But I did get a newsletter for this fall from
a doctor, Md. Sulman Lalaani, So evidently he is our
district or mind particular representative here, and I wanted to
know because there's nowhere on the newsletter that says if
(30:09):
he's Democrat, if he's Republican, blah blah blah blah blah,
and I wanted to know a little bit about him.
He was elected in twenty twenty three for the first time.
Was the first information that I got from his representative
when I called his sugar Land office.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So a couple of.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Things with this call. I wanted to know what you
knew about him within the Texas House, and then I
received information from Aaron, the representative at Sugarland that answered
the call, and so then I had some concerns and
I had a contentious discussion with Aaron in regards to
(30:46):
was doctor Lalani. One of the folks who ended up
leaving Texas and running for the hills up in Chicago
or New York or whatever. And so then I did
get my answer to that, So I'll go ahead and.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Michael, No, I don't know anything about this person. Unfortunately,
if they don't tell you and you're in Texas, they're
a Democrat. That's how you know.
