Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air. Very interesting. One
(00:39):
of the newsletters I read that comes out of the
Wall Street Journal called Hurd on the Street. A woman
named Carol Ryan had written about warehouses and the headline
was stocking up on warehouses, and I thought what it
was going to say, what I expected it to say,
was warehouse stocks are up because I knew. I've been
(01:03):
told that companies who import a lot, who were scared
of the tariffs, they went ahead and blew their budgets
on getting everything they could into the country before the
tariff's hit. Well, you got to store it, you got
to add that cost. So that becomes a pretty interesting
calculation because the warehousing cost has to offset the tariff savings.
(01:32):
So you could end up getting pinched if you end
up bringing in a bunch of stuff warehousing it and
then the tariff doesn't hit because you were counting on
a competitive advantage. So what they have not seen is
a big boost in warehouse stocks because increasingly people do
(01:53):
not believe that the tariffs are going to hit to
the extent that they thought they were. I set all along.
I'm not a predictor. I just tell you what I think.
I've been wrong plenty of times before. I'm not rushed
limball with a nine to nine point six percent accuracy level,
as verified by Deloitte and Touche. I believe that Trump
(02:16):
threatens the tariffs to get people to do things he
couldn't otherwise do. The tariff with Mexico was never meant
to be a financial arrangement. It was to get Mexico
to stop the flood of people into this country. And
after their president said it wouldn't happen, she had to
double back and say it would because he can break
(02:37):
their e commy. I received an email this morning from
a fellow named Dan again, and this will be our
third Palm Beach trip, and we've done two Aspen trips.
Dan came on our first and maybe our second Aspen trip.
They started to mind together after a while, and he's
an interesting guy. He lives up in I think Anderson, Texas,
(03:00):
up somewhere in Grimes County, and he owns approximately thirty
eight trillion acres I don't know. He owns a lot
of land, and he has a timber company and so
he manages timber interests on the properties that he has,
and he's one of these really really smart guys with
a computer who's always dreaming up ideas on how you
saved the country. Thank God for people like this. And
(03:23):
so he will send me things that he's reading and
things like that. So he sends me an email this morning,
early this morning. This lady is one of the individual
warriors you were talking about lately, and that was those
people like Bob Showden, Marissa Hanson and different Rachel Palmer Hooper,
the people who put in the time and energy to
research things and share it with the rest of us.
(03:44):
And thank God for them, he says. She fights toll roads,
car shut off switches, right to repair, and terrible bills
that elevate bikes over cars. I like her already. So
he sends me the newsletter that she sends out, and
the top line in the newsletter says, stop the road diets.
(04:05):
And I must confess I didn't I didn't know what
a road diet was. And I start reading and this
woman is up there hawking every bill in the state
legislature in Austin that would affect the average person that
doesn't have a lobbyist. And I've come to the conclusion
that a road diet is restricting how many roads we
have so they can take away our roads for the
(04:26):
bike riders. Any other thing about this is bike riders
all drive cars. Ninety nine percent of the time they're
on a road, they're in their car. But one percent
of the time they like to ride in a bike.
They like to ride their bike. But they would have you,
They would take up half the roads and give them
to the bike. It's the most inefficient thing I have
(04:47):
ever seen. Idiotic and inefficient. And everyone is scared of
the bike riders. Well I can't stand that because we'll
be left with no roads except a bunch of lanes
for bike ridering. And guess what, that's how you get
bike riders killed, by the way, That's how you get
them killed. And that's not good for anybody. All right.
Terry Hall is her name? Terry, welcome the program.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I might good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yes, So how did you get so? Her organization, if
you want to read about her when we go to
break in just a moment, is called Texas Turf t
u RF Texas Turf Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom.
This is very I've read your entire newsletter from this morning,
and it's chock full of interesting stuff. This is most interesting, Terry.
(05:30):
I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, I'm glad. It's a lot of work. Let me
tell you.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
She's cute too, Ramona. If you were wondering, how did
you get involved in this kind of as a citizen
activist for good not you know, not a cuckoo citizen activist,
or you might be cuckoo. I don't know that right,
But as a citizen activist for normal people, well.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I can tell you there isn't anybody up there advocating
for taxpayers in general. It's all the lobbyists. They're paid
by these entities, particularly the toll road authority, that are
working against us. Twenty four to seven. Well, I didn't
even to get involved in this until I realized what
was happening. I lived near San Antonio for the first
fifteen years we lived in Texas. We still be living
in San Antonio, but we're on the west side now.
(06:13):
But I can tell you they were going to come
in and take every lane of Too eighty one that
we drove every single day to get into San Antonio
and turn it into a toll lane. And then we
found out they're added to a private foreign corporation for
profit in a fifteen year deal, and that's when we just,
I mean, that just blew the lid off for me.
There's no way you're going to come and take our
(06:33):
Texas roads and hand them to foreign operators. Not going
to happen, not on my watch.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well there you probably know. There have been.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Several out of it to try and stop it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
There have been several efforts by the kinds of people
who go from politician to lobbyists to government commission all
over the state of Texas, including several roads outside of Houston,
major thoroughfares where I think they sold one of them
to Spain, to a Spanish company where they would actually
sell our roads backed by a revenue stream of tolls.
(07:05):
It is sickening what these people do. Imagine driving the
Texas road and it's owned by a foreign government.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's right, And that happened on State Highway to eighty eight.
You may remember that one that was the ame was
operated by a foreign consortium. I think it was actually Israeli, French, British.
It was a whole conglomeration of different foreign entities that
get in on these deals and they get guaranteed profits
for fifty plus years on the backs of taxpayers. We
pay for Mexican drivers or anyone from out of state
(07:33):
that they can't collect a toll from. We pay for that.
We pay to reduce their truck toll rates. They have
non compete agreements that say you cannot build a free
road that competes with their toll revenue.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So that's why your free roads are jammed, Dot folks,
because they're writing contracts that sell us down a river.
And that's what I've been doing in the legislature ever since.
It's been over twenty years now, and this is I
think my eleventh legislative sessions. Working in the wet type
of sudds. If they throw on behalf of tack players
to triumph, hold.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
On just a moment. Terry Hall t E r R I.
Her Her website is Texas Turf Turf dot org, The
Michael Barry Show. Simple man. I can't respond to every email,
but I do read them, every request for help, every
(08:25):
request for promote this event. It's a group called Grateful
Americans who has put on a pickleball tournament. I don't
remember when it was. I just I got the email,
and they're raising a lot of money. It all goes
to Camp Hope. There's more than one event per day.
In the course of a year's probably five hundred events
for Camp Hope, and obviously people want me to promote those,
(08:48):
and I wish I could, but we would become just
a community bulletin board if if that's what I did,
and I can't do that. But Ramoni, you're still there.
You're not gonna believe what I just did. So I
was looking at my broadcast box and there was a
piece of lint on the screen while I was talking.
(09:09):
I put my finger on it to get it off
because I'm neurotic, and I switched the signal off of
you back to Rush Limbaugh's station, which goes back to
the first time I brought That was a close call.
I think I saved the day anyway. So I do
read them, and Dan Egan said, Hey, here's a woman.
You're gonna really like what she's doing. It's called Texas
(09:31):
TURF t u RF Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom. Terry.
First of all, do you have a day job. Do
you make a living doing this? It matters because I
think people no, No, It's important to understand not everybody
can do this. It's a tough thing to do. Maybe
you're in a financial position you can. I'm glad you're
(09:52):
doing this. I think this is fantastic. The more I
read of what you're doing, I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I appreciate that very much. And I don't I don't
work outside the home. I'm actually a homeschool mom of
ten kids, so I'm still homeschooling actively, and so I'm
very very busy to say that I don't work outside
the home. That's why I chuckle, because I definitely have
a job that business owners that's true, and we are
small business owners and and that is, you know, a
(10:19):
full time job in another itself, just keeping our house operating.
But I'll tell you what, You're right, and not a
lot of people can do what I do. And at
the end of the day, it has to be done
because I feel like there's so many times where I've
just been so stretched every direction and going, how am
I going to read these thousand bills and you know,
digest them and understand how to follow all of them
and then get there to Austin and testify against them
(10:40):
and do all the things I do. But I'll tell
you what, when you realize and your eyes are opened
about how bad it is and how they come at
us with a pipeline of bad bill after bad bill
every single session, and they just get worse and worse,
Who's going to be there to stand in the gap.
I mean, I feel like I know too much. I
can't stop at this point. I just have got to
kill all these bills. They're just terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know. You hear it said, and I found this
to be true. If you want something done, ask a
busy person to do it. Busy people know how to
get things done. They don't deliberate, worry, get anxious, overthink, procrastinate.
They know, do it and move on. They're decids. They're
decision makers. They're not indecisive. I'm amazed how often I
(11:20):
talk to someone like you, and as I begin to
peel back the layers of the onion, not only are
you in Austin hawking every bill that will affect all
of us, as we don't have lobbyists updating this, speaking
all over the state, writing the newsletter and all that,
but you're also homeschooling and probably spending more time helping
your husband with the family business than you're giving yourself
(11:42):
credit for. It's amazing to me how often I find
and it's usually women, women who are engaged in advocacy
and things like this, and they're also homeschooling. It's like,
why would you add that? Of course you would add
add that extra thing. And I love it. I admire it.
I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Tell you my kids and there certainly my kids don't
have their head in the sand either. Believe me, they're
quite politically aware. They most of the time, they probably
don't like it, but you know, that's just how our
family is.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think they're incredibly proud of their mother, as they
should be.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Aw I appreciate that very much. But you mentioned the
road diet issue, and you know that's another one. We've
been fighting toll roads really for twenty years in Texas
and we have been we have We've had a bill
since twenty eleven to take the tolls off the road
when they're paid for, and to stop all these gimmicks
with the surplus revenue, which I know has been a
huge problem there in Harris County in particular, where they
(12:35):
take that surplus revenue and send it on everything except roads,
and that's been a huge problem. But we also have
the problem where they're literally coming after our cars. They
want to shrink our road space and give it over
to bikes and buses, and these buffered lanes and the
special mapstick pipes and you know, make it impossible to
make a right turn or a left turn on so
many of these roads, particularly downtown region where I've been
many times for different speaking engagements as well as for
(12:58):
the Republican Convention, and it's almost impossible to get around.
And that's what they want. And your former mayor Selester
Turner literally said before the Transportation Commission, if you slow
down the trucks and the cars, they'll get out of
the trucks in the cars, you get on the bikes
in the buses.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That is the goal of the left.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You know, statements like that. There's a Houston Galveston Area councilors,
different commissions and these these sort of multi state multi
agency metro all that all's and it's a bunch of
you look at how many of them are former state senators,
former county commissioners, lawyers and lobbyists who their whole like
(13:36):
they see these big pools of money, and what they're
doing is is harassing the day to day commuter who
just wants to get on the road to get back
and forth to work and get their kids. And they
can't imagine what's going on behind closed meeting closed doors
at these meetings of these commissions. It's infuriating to me.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It is, and there's attorney all need to know if
you haven't already become aware of it. In the Houston area,
it's called Vision Zero and their goal is to take
away our cars, to get everybody out of their cars
and get them in mass transit, walking or biking everywhere
they go. And it's really kind of designed as part
of that fifteen minute city concept that started in Parison.
And you're particularly during the lockdowns and they all think, wow,
(14:17):
this is wonderful. There was no cars on the road.
They thought that was the utopia of the world, is
to have us going nowhere and producing nothing. Well, that's
what they really want long term. They want us out
of our cars. And everywhere you go, you have to
be able to go on bike, foot, or mass transit
within fifteen minutes of your home. And that's not the
life that most Texans want certainly not, but Vision zero
(14:37):
is trying to impose that. And I mean, you see
all these bills that come through. Who's on the opposite
side of me test to find it's Vision zero and
they literally bust people in from Harris County. I've seen
them do it before on different bills and advocate that
they take away our road funds, give us to these
bikes and buses, mass transit initiatives, and sometimes we'll even
put race into it. They'll try and put the diversity
(14:58):
equity inclusion into trans application decision making and who should
get funded and who shouldn't. It was all part of
Pete Beautagidge's Reconnecting Communities plan and they're doing it on
parts of I forty five right now, where they're trying
to put these grassy parks over the top of our
highways and sinking out our highways and supposedly reunify communities
(15:18):
this way. Well, as a mom of ten, the last
place I want my kids playing is on top of
a highway. It doesn't make any sense. They're wasting our
money left and right, and it's all part of the
left agenda to take away our cars. And that's what
I stand in the gap on behalf of Texans because
there isn't anybody that's there for us, and it's you know,
a voice for us in the legislature. So we've just
(15:38):
cobbled together this grassroots effort across the state and said, no,
we're going to push back on this. You're not going
to come do this to us. And it's for all
those working class folks out there. I'm trying to do
my best to stand in a gap for you, because
that's what motivates me to get up at four in
the morning and call myself over to Austin to be
there for these committing hearings and testify.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Harry Hall, you are awesome, folks. The website is Texas
Turf Turf dot org. Donate support her volunteered. Here's your
opportunity to get involved. Michael Verie show.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
All right if you've got a ticket scalping or a
getting backstage story, preferably a ticket scalping story. Seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand. I I have tried to make
use of my ten days in DC to good end,
(16:38):
and I have had a series of meetings with folks.
The topic that comes up at the beginning of every
discussion from every elected officials, government officials, lobbyists, staffers, operatives.
(16:58):
What do you think about the Paxton Cornin race. I
don't like to say what I think first, because I
think people will naturally, because I'm a little bombastic, people
will naturally agree with me, and I don't want that.
I want to hear what they have to say. But
the consensus seems to be Cornyn is in big trouble,
(17:21):
really big trouble because it's a Republican primary. So you've
got a little over so you've got you know, let's
just say Texas is fifty to fifty Republican Democrat. Right,
we'll just round numbers. Well, now you're only asking that
fifty percent of the people who are Republican and going
(17:43):
to vote in a primary, the people who just vote
in November and don't vote in March. That's a lot.
That's people that are kind of casually Republican. The people
who vote in a primary are precinct chairman, Senate district chairman,
Rachel Palmer, Hooper, dan Aghan, these people who are very
(18:09):
very informed. The more informed you are of what's going
on the less you like John Wayne mccornyn. He's despicable.
He is the swamp. Cornyn is more of the swamp
than Chuck Schumer is, and Republican voters know that. And
we've never been able to touch him because we didn't
(18:31):
have a candidate who had the name ID and could
unite the base. And so yeah, so now there is
that candidate and the crew that supports Cornyn, who were
behind the impeachment of Ken Paxton, using Karl Rove as
the operative to do it all. They overplayed their hand.
(18:55):
If you're gonna shoot it the king, don't miss Butler Pennsylvania.
If you're gonna shoot at the king, don't miss the
impeachment of Paxton and Dan Patrick, to his credit, leading
the Senate to shoot that down. Paxton is way bigger
now than before the impeachment, because once you withstand, Trump
(19:18):
is way bigger now. He got shot in the head.
That's gangster, that's Tupac level stuff. You are a whole
different person when you survive that sort of thing. Now
Corning is going to go super nasty. They are claiming,
we'll see that they're going to raise two hundred million
(19:40):
dollars in that race, or that they're going to spend
two hundred million dollars in that race. We'll see whatever
I things spend all they want, because I'm going to
be there at every turn saying that's a lie, that's
a liar, that's a lie. They're going to try to
convince you that Ken Paxton is whatever their polling tells
you is the thing that would bother you the most.
He's owned by China, he's owned by the Rush. He's
(20:01):
a pedophile, he's a cannibal, he's a murderer, he's a
tax cheat, he's a swamp creatures. They're gonna say whatever
it takes, whatever Carl Rose research tells them will bother
you the most. They're gonna claim he's that. But I've
noticed they're already floating a particular theory. And you're gonna
watch this because I've had three different people out of
(20:23):
my meetings use this phrase very casually and it goes
like this, Yeah, I think Paxton could beat Cornyan. You do, Yeah,
I think he beat him. You know, he's got over
twenty percent right now. You know it's a primary instead
of voter gonna But I tell you what I'm worried
(20:44):
Paxton can't win in November against the Democrats. Oh you
are Yeah. I could see Paxton winning the primary over Corning,
but he's so far out there to win the primary
that by November or he can't get back close enough
to the middle and we lose that seat. Can you
imagine if Paxton winning the primary causes us to lose
(21:08):
that seat? Oh really, but corn would win in November. Yeah,
don't you think? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I think Cornyn is
more popular with the Democrats in packson is I do.
I think that's the most damning thing you can say
about him, But yes, I do. I also know that
in twenty sixteen, one of the arguments that John Kasick
made the milk Toast governor sell out governor son of
(21:33):
a postal worker or was it a son of a barkeep,
I don't remember. In Ohio, his argument was, I know
you don't like me because I'm not a conservative, and
I know you like Trump because he's a populist. But
Trump can't win in November, and we don't want Hillary
to win, so put me in there. This has been
the argument for the swamp machines all along is Hey,
(21:57):
I know you got Ted Cruz out there. I know
you got Ken Paxton out there. I know you got
Trump out there. I know you got Steve Toath out there,
or Mitch Little or but we don't want one of
these guys. I know he's your choice. I get it.
He's your choice because he actually does what you want
him to do, right, But he can't win in November
because the Democrats won't vote for him. I now, I
(22:20):
know you don't like me. I if I'm your choice,
I can win in November. Well, so you're telling me
I gotta let the Democrats choose my candidate. They told
us Trump couldn't win in twenty sixteen. That was the
last argument of the scoundrels. That was Karl Rove's last
(22:41):
attempt to steal the nomination, to wrest it from Trump
in twenty sixteen. Is Trump can win the primary? Sure,
I know you want him. I know that's your guy,
but he can't win in November. So go with the
guy you don't like because he can win. So that's
(23:02):
how this Whisper campaign or the Insiders is going. Is
sure Paxton can beat Cornyn. Now that that was a
long time in coming. The polling had to show you
how bad Cornyn was, So what do they do? Look,
these guys are good, they're professionals at this. They run
the swamp because they're good at it. So phase one
was Paxton can't touch corn Cornn crushes him. Polling comes back,
(23:27):
Oh wow, we can't really argue that Cornyn is going
to close that gap. We've got to find ways to
undercut Paxton. So the next phase was, oh, yeah, Paxton
could probably beat Cornyn. Yeah, probably could, probably could because
he'll say anything and do anything. Uh, And you know,
(23:47):
Cornyn has to has to govern. Paxton doesn't have to govern.
Cornyn has to take tough decisions. He's got to keep
the government going. He's got to he got to keep
the Senate going. He's so judicious, he's like Solemn went
up there, so whise and things, and so he has
to take some tough decisions to be a great leader.
But here's problem. Passing can't win in November. It never stops. Right.
(24:11):
But that's Almon. You got folks on the line. It'd
be weird if you said no. Huh. From Levisians to librarians,
everyone listens Michael Verry show, my little friend named Croy
Christophel he mispronounces his last name is Christophin and he's
(24:36):
got some big title at Pits and Spits. I don't
know what his actual title is, but longtime friend, one
of the star warts of the RCC, so much of
stalwart that he had a walk when he entered into
the RCC. It was like norm was entering right. There
were certain people like this Got Kutaje, Doug Truck and
(24:58):
broad mat at that. There were people that Matt Trumbull
that when they came in, Michael Robinson, everybody, ah, it's
like you know where everybody knows your name. And Coy
would come walking in. He stands very tall and stands
very straight and he kind of cocks his head back
like he just can't be bothered. And Lauren Cole, who
(25:23):
was our GM at the time, would imitate his walk
by coming in right behind him where he couldn't see
her and doing the walk and we would just fall out.
But anyway, everybody loves Coy and he he has all
these cool hobbies on the side. He's always doing something.
It's not a guy that sits in watch evening TV.
He makes knives, he does this, he builds barbecue pits,
(25:44):
he does this and this. Anyway, so he's started making
custom or his own batches of bacon. And he sent
me a thing and it was a batch of bacon
and it looks fantastic, and he said, hey, do you
want some? So I asked and Emily if they wanted bacon.
Ramon guys fields hurt because I asked him. I said, well,
(26:05):
I forged you make your own bacon. I want some
of that. So anyway, I don't know if anybody else
out there makes their own bacon, but I just I
thought it was pretty cool, all right. So we were
talking about scalping after Ramone got arrested, and if you
have a good scalping or going back back back doors,
back green room, backstage stories, then we want to hear them.
(26:28):
Who was the I know Carlos. Let's go to Carlos first. Carlos.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yes, sir, mister Barry.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm good. Go ahead. What's your story?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
So I've been going to baseball games for a long
time and you kind of figure things out. Actually got
to go to the last Astros geame in the Dome,
which was pretty cool. But one day we were walking
up to back then it was in Ronfield and scalp
(26:59):
was were all over the place. Back he used to
be able to get just a hard ticket. Now it's
all digital stuff. And we didn't have his tickets, and
so we were walking up to the park and the
scalper comes up to us and wouldn't leave us alone.
Come on, I got tickets for good seats, and so
I asked him, let me see your seat and we
see it to God and he said, yeah, I got
these right here row row x x X, seat yy
(27:23):
why whatever EZD And I said, okay, great, those are
your best seats.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
He says yes. I said how much.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
He said this price, and you know the scalpers, so
it's a lot more than he would want to normally pay.
So I said, all right, let me see what I
can do, and we walked up to ticket counter boxer
keep the seat they had, and then just went and
sat in the seats that he had outside, knowing that
nobody was going to sit in those seats because he
had the tickets himself. Got to have some nice seats
(27:51):
for the day. We've found that a couple of times,
once when the scalper actually came in and sat down
right next to us because nobody would buy a seat.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
So we've got the here being a pose.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Behind you?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Actually, what is that? I don't know. That's a good
question I got I got the work from.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
What.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
No, that's not a woodpecker. They got a h Yeah,
that's not a woodpecker. I can't see it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I can hear it, yes, reaching.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, I got a bunch of border.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Maybe maybe I'm gonst Send the audio of this discussion
to Rich Eadie at wild Birds Lemon and he'll be
able to tell me.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Let's go to ron. What it's a tick.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
T I?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
T is that?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Really?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Are I get posted?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Did you? Did you run it through an app? Because
that's not fair? A tit? What the hell? What is
a tit? I mean, let me see it? Sure is?
How did you know that that is a pretty bird?
Look at that pattern? It's like almost lsu colors. That
(29:19):
is a really pretty little bird. I did not know
that's called a tit. The chickadee and till mice constitute
the paraday, a large family of small passerine birds which
occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Most were
formerly classified in the genus Paris or parous Eurasian and
(29:44):
African members of this family are referred to as tits,
while North African species are either called chickadees or tit mice.
The name titmouse is recorded from the fourteenth century, composed
of the Old English name for the bird mace uh
(30:05):
and tit denoting something small. Oh like tit for tat Ramon.
You are so good. I'm really impressed with you. A
great tit. I never heard of this. These birds are
mainly small, stocky woodland species with short, stout bills. You
know who would have known this, Quai christophel our Bacon
(30:27):
perveyor all right, I can't remember who you had next?
Was it? Ron? Okay? Ron, you're up.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I'm Michael Ron.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You ever heard of a bird?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
No? I just did on your show. Ron.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Please, for the love of all that is decent, tell
me you're not on a bluetooth.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I am, I'm in my car.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
I'm I'm in a parking lot of waiting to have
a medical appointment.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh okay, Well in that it's okay. You sound like
you're at the end of a tunnel.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Go ahead, Well, the story was for the scalp them.
I did have it on.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Yeah, all right because their way, they have people in traffic.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
No any rate.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Over the last twenty years, I think my son the
game is which are very very expensive to get into
a you know, like a football game or a playoff
game or remember what sport.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
But we used to leave, you.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Know, arrive at the stadium just about the time there's
you know, the game is gonna start.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
You have to hear all the big cheering and stuff
like this when you walk down there.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
These people that are holding a bunch of tickets are
gonna really sell them out cheap because there's don't be
a wall paper ever if you don't get it, you know,
so anything is better than nothing, and so we want
to my son when these small we went to games,
probably one hundred different games, and I've never bought a
ticket other than a scoff ticket because you know, and
(32:18):
we'd always go there right after the game starts. So
if you want to be there before the game kickoff goes,
that's one thing, but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
That important to us.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
So we get in there just a little late and
anybody that's holding ticket to just get rid of them
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air. Very interesting. One
(00:39):
of the newsletters I read that comes out of the
Wall Street Journal called Hurd on the Street. A woman
named Carol Ryan had written about warehouses and the headline
was stocking up on warehouses, and I thought what it
was going to say, what I expected it to say,
was warehouse stocks are up because I knew. I've been
(01:03):
told that companies who import a lot, who were scared
of the tariffs, they went ahead and blew their budgets
on getting everything they could into the country before the
tariff's hit. Well, you got to store it, you got
to add that cost. So that becomes a pretty interesting
calculation because the warehousing cost has to offset the tariff savings.
(01:32):
So you could end up getting pinched if you end
up bringing in a bunch of stuff warehousing it and
then the tariff doesn't hit because you were counting on
a competitive advantage. So what they have not seen is
a big boost in warehouse stocks because increasingly people do
(01:53):
not believe that the tariffs are going to hit to
the extent that they thought they were. I set all along.
I'm not a predictor. I just tell you what I think.
I've been wrong plenty of times before. I'm not rushed
limball with a nine to nine point six percent accuracy level,
as verified by Deloitte and Touche. I believe that Trump
(02:16):
threatens the tariffs to get people to do things he
couldn't otherwise do. The tariff with Mexico was never meant
to be a financial arrangement. It was to get Mexico
to stop the flood of people into this country. And
after their president said it wouldn't happen, she had to
double back and say it would because he can break
(02:37):
their e commy. I received an email this morning from
a fellow named Dan again, and this will be our
third Palm Beach trip, and we've done two Aspen trips.
Dan came on our first and maybe our second Aspen trip.
They started to mind together after a while, and he's
an interesting guy. He lives up in I think Anderson, Texas,
(03:00):
up somewhere in Grimes County, and he owns approximately thirty
eight trillion acres I don't know. He owns a lot
of land, and he has a timber company and so
he manages timber interests on the properties that he has,
and he's one of these really really smart guys with
a computer who's always dreaming up ideas on how you
saved the country. Thank God for people like this. And
(03:23):
so he will send me things that he's reading and
things like that. So he sends me an email this morning,
early this morning. This lady is one of the individual
warriors you were talking about lately, and that was those
people like Bob Showden, Marissa Hanson and different Rachel Palmer Hooper,
the people who put in the time and energy to
research things and share it with the rest of us.
(03:44):
And thank God for them, he says. She fights toll roads,
car shut off switches, right to repair, and terrible bills
that elevate bikes over cars. I like her already. So
he sends me the newsletter that she sends out, and
the top line in the newsletter says, stop the road diets.
(04:05):
And I must confess I didn't I didn't know what
a road diet was. And I start reading and this
woman is up there hawking every bill in the state
legislature in Austin that would affect the average person that
doesn't have a lobbyist. And I've come to the conclusion
that a road diet is restricting how many roads we
have so they can take away our roads for the
(04:26):
bike riders. Any other thing about this is bike riders
all drive cars. Ninety nine percent of the time they're
on a road, they're in their car. But one percent
of the time they like to ride in a bike.
They like to ride their bike. But they would have you,
They would take up half the roads and give them
to the bike. It's the most inefficient thing I have
(04:47):
ever seen. Idiotic and inefficient. And everyone is scared of
the bike riders. Well I can't stand that because we'll
be left with no roads except a bunch of lanes
for bike ridering. And guess what, that's how you get
bike riders killed, by the way, That's how you get
them killed. And that's not good for anybody. All right.
Terry Hall is her name? Terry, welcome the program.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I might good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yes, So how did you get so? Her organization, if
you want to read about her when we go to
break in just a moment, is called Texas Turf t
u RF Texas Turf Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom.
This is very I've read your entire newsletter from this morning,
and it's chock full of interesting stuff. This is most interesting, Terry.
(05:30):
I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, I'm glad. It's a lot of work. Let me
tell you.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
She's cute too, Ramona. If you were wondering, how did
you get involved in this kind of as a citizen
activist for good not you know, not a cuckoo citizen activist,
or you might be cuckoo. I don't know that right,
But as a citizen activist for normal people, well.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I can tell you there isn't anybody up there advocating
for taxpayers in general. It's all the lobbyists. They're paid
by these entities, particularly the toll road authority, that are
working against us. Twenty four to seven. Well, I didn't
even to get involved in this until I realized what
was happening. I lived near San Antonio for the first
fifteen years we lived in Texas. We still be living
in San Antonio, but we're on the west side now.
(06:13):
But I can tell you they were going to come
in and take every lane of Too eighty one that
we drove every single day to get into San Antonio
and turn it into a toll lane. And then we
found out they're added to a private foreign corporation for
profit in a fifteen year deal, and that's when we just,
I mean, that just blew the lid off for me.
There's no way you're going to come and take our
(06:33):
Texas roads and hand them to foreign operators. Not going
to happen, not on my watch.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Well there you probably know. There have been.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Several out of it to try and stop it.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
There have been several efforts by the kinds of people
who go from politician to lobbyists to government commission all
over the state of Texas, including several roads outside of Houston,
major thoroughfares where I think they sold one of them
to Spain, to a Spanish company where they would actually
sell our roads backed by a revenue stream of tolls.
(07:05):
It is sickening what these people do. Imagine driving the
Texas road and it's owned by a foreign government.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's right, And that happened on State Highway to eighty eight.
You may remember that one that was the ame was
operated by a foreign consortium. I think it was actually Israeli, French, British.
It was a whole conglomeration of different foreign entities that
get in on these deals and they get guaranteed profits
for fifty plus years on the backs of taxpayers. We
pay for Mexican drivers or anyone from out of state
(07:33):
that they can't collect a toll from. We pay for that.
We pay to reduce their truck toll rates. They have
non compete agreements that say you cannot build a free
road that competes with their toll revenue.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So that's why your free roads are jammed, Dot folks,
because they're writing contracts that sell us down a river.
And that's what I've been doing in the legislature ever since.
It's been over twenty years now, and this is I
think my eleventh legislative sessions. Working in the wet type
of sudds. If they throw on behalf of tack players
to triumph, hold.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
On just a moment. Terry Hall t E r R I.
Her Her website is Texas Turf Turf dot org, The
Michael Barry Show. Simple man. I can't respond to every email,
but I do read them, every request for help, every
(08:25):
request for promote this event. It's a group called Grateful
Americans who has put on a pickleball tournament. I don't
remember when it was. I just I got the email,
and they're raising a lot of money. It all goes
to Camp Hope. There's more than one event per day.
In the course of a year's probably five hundred events
for Camp Hope, and obviously people want me to promote those,
(08:48):
and I wish I could, but we would become just
a community bulletin board if if that's what I did,
and I can't do that. But Ramoni, you're still there.
You're not gonna believe what I just did. So I
was looking at my broadcast box and there was a
piece of lint on the screen while I was talking.
(09:09):
I put my finger on it to get it off
because I'm neurotic, and I switched the signal off of
you back to Rush Limbaugh's station, which goes back to
the first time I brought That was a close call.
I think I saved the day anyway. So I do
read them, and Dan Egan said, Hey, here's a woman.
You're gonna really like what she's doing. It's called Texas
(09:31):
TURF t u RF Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom. Terry.
First of all, do you have a day job. Do
you make a living doing this? It matters because I
think people no, No, It's important to understand not everybody
can do this. It's a tough thing to do. Maybe
you're in a financial position you can. I'm glad you're
(09:52):
doing this. I think this is fantastic. The more I
read of what you're doing, I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I appreciate that very much. And I don't I don't
work outside the home. I'm actually a homeschool mom of
ten kids, so I'm still homeschooling actively, and so I'm
very very busy to say that I don't work outside
the home. That's why I chuckle, because I definitely have
a job that business owners that's true, and we are
small business owners and and that is, you know, a
(10:19):
full time job in another itself, just keeping our house operating.
But I'll tell you what, You're right, and not a
lot of people can do what I do. And at
the end of the day, it has to be done
because I feel like there's so many times where I've
just been so stretched every direction and going, how am
I going to read these thousand bills and you know,
digest them and understand how to follow all of them
and then get there to Austin and testify against them
(10:40):
and do all the things I do. But I'll tell
you what, when you realize and your eyes are opened
about how bad it is and how they come at
us with a pipeline of bad bill after bad bill
every single session, and they just get worse and worse,
Who's going to be there to stand in the gap.
I mean, I feel like I know too much. I
can't stop at this point. I just have got to
kill all these bills. They're just terrible.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know. You hear it said, and I found this
to be true. If you want something done, ask a
busy person to do it. Busy people know how to
get things done. They don't deliberate, worry, get anxious, overthink, procrastinate.
They know, do it and move on. They're decids. They're
decision makers. They're not indecisive. I'm amazed how often I
(11:20):
talk to someone like you, and as I begin to
peel back the layers of the onion, not only are
you in Austin hawking every bill that will affect all
of us, as we don't have lobbyists updating this, speaking
all over the state, writing the newsletter and all that,
but you're also homeschooling and probably spending more time helping
your husband with the family business than you're giving yourself
(11:42):
credit for. It's amazing to me how often I find
and it's usually women, women who are engaged in advocacy
and things like this, and they're also homeschooling. It's like,
why would you add that? Of course you would add
add that extra thing. And I love it. I admire it.
I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Tell you my kids and there certainly my kids don't
have their head in the sand either. Believe me, they're
quite politically aware. They most of the time, they probably
don't like it, but you know, that's just how our
family is.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think they're incredibly proud of their mother, as they
should be.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Aw I appreciate that very much. But you mentioned the
road diet issue, and you know that's another one. We've
been fighting toll roads really for twenty years in Texas
and we have been we have We've had a bill
since twenty eleven to take the tolls off the road
when they're paid for, and to stop all these gimmicks
with the surplus revenue, which I know has been a
huge problem there in Harris County in particular, where they
(12:35):
take that surplus revenue and send it on everything except roads,
and that's been a huge problem. But we also have
the problem where they're literally coming after our cars. They
want to shrink our road space and give it over
to bikes and buses, and these buffered lanes and the
special mapstick pipes and you know, make it impossible to
make a right turn or a left turn on so
many of these roads, particularly downtown region where I've been
many times for different speaking engagements as well as for
(12:58):
the Republican Convention, and it's almost impossible to get around.
And that's what they want. And your former mayor Selester
Turner literally said before the Transportation Commission, if you slow
down the trucks and the cars, they'll get out of
the trucks in the cars, you get on the bikes
in the buses.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Exactly right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That is the goal of the left.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You know, statements like that. There's a Houston Galveston Area councilors,
different commissions and these these sort of multi state multi
agency metro all that all's and it's a bunch of
you look at how many of them are former state senators,
former county commissioners, lawyers and lobbyists who their whole like
(13:36):
they see these big pools of money, and what they're
doing is is harassing the day to day commuter who
just wants to get on the road to get back
and forth to work and get their kids. And they
can't imagine what's going on behind closed meeting closed doors
at these meetings of these commissions. It's infuriating to me.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It is, and there's attorney all need to know if
you haven't already become aware of it. In the Houston area,
it's called Vision Zero and their goal is to take
away our cars, to get everybody out of their cars
and get them in mass transit, walking or biking everywhere
they go. And it's really kind of designed as part
of that fifteen minute city concept that started in Parison.
And you're particularly during the lockdowns and they all think, wow,
(14:17):
this is wonderful. There was no cars on the road.
They thought that was the utopia of the world, is
to have us going nowhere and producing nothing. Well, that's
what they really want long term. They want us out
of our cars. And everywhere you go, you have to
be able to go on bike, foot, or mass transit
within fifteen minutes of your home. And that's not the
life that most Texans want certainly not, but Vision zero
(14:37):
is trying to impose that. And I mean, you see
all these bills that come through. Who's on the opposite
side of me test to find it's Vision zero and
they literally bust people in from Harris County. I've seen
them do it before on different bills and advocate that
they take away our road funds, give us to these
bikes and buses, mass transit initiatives, and sometimes we'll even
put race into it. They'll try and put the diversity
(14:58):
equity inclusion into trans application decision making and who should
get funded and who shouldn't. It was all part of
Pete Beautagidge's Reconnecting Communities plan and they're doing it on
parts of I forty five right now, where they're trying
to put these grassy parks over the top of our
highways and sinking out our highways and supposedly reunify communities
(15:18):
this way. Well, as a mom of ten, the last
place I want my kids playing is on top of
a highway. It doesn't make any sense. They're wasting our
money left and right, and it's all part of the
left agenda to take away our cars. And that's what
I stand in the gap on behalf of Texans because
there isn't anybody that's there for us, and it's you know,
a voice for us in the legislature. So we've just
(15:38):
cobbled together this grassroots effort across the state and said, no,
we're going to push back on this. You're not going
to come do this to us. And it's for all
those working class folks out there. I'm trying to do
my best to stand in a gap for you, because
that's what motivates me to get up at four in
the morning and call myself over to Austin to be
there for these committing hearings and testify.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Harry Hall, you are awesome, folks. The website is Texas
Turf Turf dot org. Donate support her volunteered. Here's your
opportunity to get involved. Michael Verie show.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
All right if you've got a ticket scalping or a
getting backstage story, preferably a ticket scalping story. Seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand. I I have tried to make
use of my ten days in DC to good end,
(16:38):
and I have had a series of meetings with folks.
The topic that comes up at the beginning of every
discussion from every elected officials, government officials, lobbyists, staffers, operatives.
(16:58):
What do you think about the Paxton Cornin race. I
don't like to say what I think first, because I
think people will naturally, because I'm a little bombastic, people
will naturally agree with me, and I don't want that.
I want to hear what they have to say. But
the consensus seems to be Cornyn is in big trouble,
(17:21):
really big trouble because it's a Republican primary. So you've
got a little over so you've got you know, let's
just say Texas is fifty to fifty Republican Democrat. Right,
we'll just round numbers. Well, now you're only asking that
fifty percent of the people who are Republican and going
(17:43):
to vote in a primary, the people who just vote
in November and don't vote in March. That's a lot.
That's people that are kind of casually Republican. The people
who vote in a primary are precinct chairman, Senate district chairman,
Rachel Palmer, Hooper, dan Aghan, these people who are very
(18:09):
very informed. The more informed you are of what's going
on the less you like John Wayne mccornyn. He's despicable.
He is the swamp. Cornyn is more of the swamp
than Chuck Schumer is, and Republican voters know that. And
we've never been able to touch him because we didn't
(18:31):
have a candidate who had the name ID and could
unite the base. And so yeah, so now there is
that candidate and the crew that supports Cornyn, who were
behind the impeachment of Ken Paxton, using Karl Rove as
the operative to do it all. They overplayed their hand.
(18:55):
If you're gonna shoot it the king, don't miss Butler Pennsylvania.
If you're gonna shoot at the king, don't miss the
impeachment of Paxton and Dan Patrick, to his credit, leading
the Senate to shoot that down. Paxton is way bigger
now than before the impeachment, because once you withstand, Trump
(19:18):
is way bigger now. He got shot in the head.
That's gangster, that's Tupac level stuff. You are a whole
different person when you survive that sort of thing. Now
Corning is going to go super nasty. They are claiming,
we'll see that they're going to raise two hundred million
(19:40):
dollars in that race, or that they're going to spend
two hundred million dollars in that race. We'll see whatever
I things spend all they want, because I'm going to
be there at every turn saying that's a lie, that's
a liar, that's a lie. They're going to try to
convince you that Ken Paxton is whatever their polling tells
you is the thing that would bother you the most.
He's owned by China, he's owned by the Rush. He's
(20:01):
a pedophile, he's a cannibal, he's a murderer, he's a
tax cheat, he's a swamp creatures. They're gonna say whatever
it takes, whatever Carl Rose research tells them will bother
you the most. They're gonna claim he's that. But I've
noticed they're already floating a particular theory. And you're gonna
watch this because I've had three different people out of
(20:23):
my meetings use this phrase very casually and it goes
like this, Yeah, I think Paxton could beat Cornyan. You do, Yeah,
I think he beat him. You know, he's got over
twenty percent right now. You know it's a primary instead
of voter gonna But I tell you what I'm worried
(20:44):
Paxton can't win in November against the Democrats. Oh you
are Yeah. I could see Paxton winning the primary over Corning,
but he's so far out there to win the primary
that by November or he can't get back close enough
to the middle and we lose that seat. Can you
imagine if Paxton winning the primary causes us to lose
(21:08):
that seat? Oh really, but corn would win in November. Yeah,
don't you think? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I think Cornyn is
more popular with the Democrats in packson is I do.
I think that's the most damning thing you can say
about him, But yes, I do. I also know that
in twenty sixteen, one of the arguments that John Kasick
made the milk Toast governor sell out governor son of
(21:33):
a postal worker or was it a son of a barkeep,
I don't remember. In Ohio, his argument was, I know
you don't like me because I'm not a conservative, and
I know you like Trump because he's a populist. But
Trump can't win in November, and we don't want Hillary
to win, so put me in there. This has been
the argument for the swamp machines all along is Hey,
(21:57):
I know you got Ted Cruz out there. I know
you got Ken Paxton out there. I know you got
Trump out there. I know you got Steve Toath out there,
or Mitch Little or but we don't want one of
these guys. I know he's your choice. I get it.
He's your choice because he actually does what you want
him to do, right, But he can't win in November
because the Democrats won't vote for him. I now, I
(22:20):
know you don't like me. I if I'm your choice,
I can win in November. Well, so you're telling me
I gotta let the Democrats choose my candidate. They told
us Trump couldn't win in twenty sixteen. That was the
last argument of the scoundrels. That was Karl Rove's last
(22:41):
attempt to steal the nomination, to wrest it from Trump
in twenty sixteen. Is Trump can win the primary? Sure,
I know you want him. I know that's your guy,
but he can't win in November. So go with the
guy you don't like because he can win. So that's
(23:02):
how this Whisper campaign or the Insiders is going. Is
sure Paxton can beat Cornyn. Now that that was a
long time in coming. The polling had to show you
how bad Cornyn was, So what do they do? Look,
these guys are good, they're professionals at this. They run
the swamp because they're good at it. So phase one
was Paxton can't touch corn Cornn crushes him. Polling comes back,
(23:27):
Oh wow, we can't really argue that Cornyn is going
to close that gap. We've got to find ways to
undercut Paxton. So the next phase was, oh, yeah, Paxton
could probably beat Cornyn. Yeah, probably could, probably could because
he'll say anything and do anything. Uh, And you know,
(23:47):
Cornyn has to has to govern. Paxton doesn't have to govern.
Cornyn has to take tough decisions. He's got to keep
the government going. He's got to he got to keep
the Senate going. He's so judicious, he's like Solemn went
up there, so whise and things, and so he has
to take some tough decisions to be a great leader.
But here's problem. Passing can't win in November. It never stops. Right.
(24:11):
But that's Almon. You got folks on the line. It'd
be weird if you said no. Huh. From Levisians to librarians,
everyone listens Michael Verry show, my little friend named Croy
Christophel he mispronounces his last name is Christophin and he's
(24:36):
got some big title at Pits and Spits. I don't
know what his actual title is, but longtime friend, one
of the star warts of the RCC, so much of
stalwart that he had a walk when he entered into
the RCC. It was like norm was entering right. There
were certain people like this Got Kutaje, Doug Truck and
(24:58):
broad mat at that. There were people that Matt Trumbull
that when they came in, Michael Robinson, everybody, ah, it's
like you know where everybody knows your name. And Coy
would come walking in. He stands very tall and stands
very straight and he kind of cocks his head back
like he just can't be bothered. And Lauren Cole, who
(25:23):
was our GM at the time, would imitate his walk
by coming in right behind him where he couldn't see
her and doing the walk and we would just fall out.
But anyway, everybody loves Coy and he he has all
these cool hobbies on the side. He's always doing something.
It's not a guy that sits in watch evening TV.
He makes knives, he does this, he builds barbecue pits,
(25:44):
he does this and this. Anyway, so he's started making
custom or his own batches of bacon. And he sent
me a thing and it was a batch of bacon
and it looks fantastic, and he said, hey, do you
want some? So I asked and Emily if they wanted bacon.
Ramon guys fields hurt because I asked him. I said, well,
(26:05):
I forged you make your own bacon. I want some
of that. So anyway, I don't know if anybody else
out there makes their own bacon, but I just I
thought it was pretty cool, all right. So we were
talking about scalping after Ramone got arrested, and if you
have a good scalping or going back back back doors,
back green room, backstage stories, then we want to hear them.
(26:28):
Who was the I know Carlos. Let's go to Carlos first. Carlos.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yes, sir, mister Barry.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm good. Go ahead. What's your story?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
So I've been going to baseball games for a long
time and you kind of figure things out. Actually got
to go to the last Astros geame in the Dome,
which was pretty cool. But one day we were walking
up to back then it was in Ronfield and scalp
(26:59):
was were all over the place. Back he used to
be able to get just a hard ticket. Now it's
all digital stuff. And we didn't have his tickets, and
so we were walking up to the park and the
scalper comes up to us and wouldn't leave us alone.
Come on, I got tickets for good seats, and so
I asked him, let me see your seat and we
see it to God and he said, yeah, I got
these right here row row x x X, seat yy
(27:23):
why whatever EZD And I said, okay, great, those are
your best seats.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
He says yes. I said how much.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
He said this price, and you know the scalpers, so
it's a lot more than he would want to normally pay.
So I said, all right, let me see what I
can do, and we walked up to ticket counter boxer
keep the seat they had, and then just went and
sat in the seats that he had outside, knowing that
nobody was going to sit in those seats because he
had the tickets himself. Got to have some nice seats
(27:51):
for the day. We've found that a couple of times,
once when the scalper actually came in and sat down
right next to us because nobody would buy a seat.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
So we've got the here being a pose.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Behind you?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Actually, what is that? I don't know. That's a good
question I got I got the work from.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
What.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
No, that's not a woodpecker. They got a h Yeah,
that's not a woodpecker. I can't see it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I can hear it, yes, reaching.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, I got a bunch of border.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Maybe maybe I'm gonst Send the audio of this discussion
to Rich Eadie at wild Birds Lemon and he'll be
able to tell me.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Let's go to ron. What it's a tick.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
T I?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
T is that?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Really?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Are I get posted?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Did you? Did you run it through an app? Because
that's not fair? A tit? What the hell? What is
a tit? I mean, let me see it? Sure is?
How did you know that that is a pretty bird?
Look at that pattern? It's like almost lsu colors. That
(29:19):
is a really pretty little bird. I did not know
that's called a tit. The chickadee and till mice constitute
the paraday, a large family of small passerine birds which
occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Most were
formerly classified in the genus Paris or parous Eurasian and
(29:44):
African members of this family are referred to as tits,
while North African species are either called chickadees or tit mice.
The name titmouse is recorded from the fourteenth century, composed
of the Old English name for the bird mace uh
(30:05):
and tit denoting something small. Oh like tit for tat Ramon.
You are so good. I'm really impressed with you. A
great tit. I never heard of this. These birds are
mainly small, stocky woodland species with short, stout bills. You
know who would have known this, Quai christophel our Bacon
(30:27):
perveyor all right, I can't remember who you had next?
Was it? Ron? Okay? Ron, you're up.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I'm Michael Ron.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You ever heard of a bird?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
No? I just did on your show. Ron.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Please, for the love of all that is decent, tell
me you're not on a bluetooth.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I am, I'm in my car.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
I'm I'm in a parking lot of waiting to have
a medical appointment.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh okay, Well in that it's okay. You sound like
you're at the end of a tunnel.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Go ahead, Well, the story was for the scalp them.
I did have it on.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Yeah, all right because their way, they have people in traffic.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
No any rate.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Over the last twenty years, I think my son the
game is which are very very expensive to get into
a you know, like a football game or a playoff
game or remember what sport.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
But we used to leave, you.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Know, arrive at the stadium just about the time there's
you know, the game is gonna start.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
You have to hear all the big cheering and stuff
like this when you walk down there.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
These people that are holding a bunch of tickets are
gonna really sell them out cheap because there's don't be
a wall paper ever if you don't get it, you know,
so anything is better than nothing, and so we want
to my son when these small we went to games,
probably one hundred different games, and I've never bought a
ticket other than a scoff ticket because you know, and
(32:18):
we'd always go there right after the game starts. So
if you want to be there before the game kickoff goes,
that's one thing, but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
That important to us.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
So we get in there just a little late and
anybody that's holding ticket to just get rid of them
