Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. The
Michael Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I was talking to day time him during the break.
You'll remember him as the doctor who was the whistleblower
on the sex change procedures they were performing at Texas
Children's Hospital when he became a whistleblower to the Texas
(00:50):
State Senate. A state senator brought up the question, are
you Texas Children's Hospital performing sex changes on children? These
are permanent, very invasive procedures, irreversible. Do you remember that story? Well,
(01:15):
Aton was damn near destroyed. Keep your eye on the phone.
He may be calling in. But Attorney General Ken Paxton,
and this is what people will never understand. We don't
care about his personal life, and truthfully, neither do you.
The people telling you they care about Ken Paxton's personal
life or Donald Trump's personal life. They don't want to
do anything about Epstein. They don't want to do anything
(01:38):
about their guys. They just want to destroy that person,
and they're hoping you'll help them do it. I saw
a video yesterday I posted that some of you may
have seen it. It's a raccoon being attacked by five
coyotes and he just scratches and claws one and pivots
and scratches and claws, and they attack for every different direction.
(02:01):
He gets up against a wall to protect himself there
so they can't sneak in behind him, because they're trying
to hit him from behind. And I thought, what an
apt description, What an apt metaphor. We have to remember
what we're hiring someone to do. We have to remember
(02:22):
what we're hiring someone to do. If you're about to
have brain surgery, do you say to yourself, how long
have you been married? Is your wife happy with you?
Have you been through a divorce. I'm going to need
to know these sorts of things before you perform brain surgery. No,
there is a task you want him to perform. I'd
(02:44):
love every one of my elected officials to be a saint.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I would.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But what I really want is you to close the border,
fight the bad guys, turn the tide. I don't need
another Mike Pencer mett Romney. I don't need another virtue
signaling it's just beneath us to scrape with the Democrats.
I want pit bulls. I want guys that make the
Republican establishment uncomfortable. I want guys that stare them down.
(03:10):
I want guys that relish the fight. I want scrappers. Yeah,
they're imperfect people, but understand what we're hiring them to
do and stop letting them.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Get you distracted by that.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, I don't know if I like a scrapper whom
I I meancided like a scrapper.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like a scrapper. But uh, but then we got
to ruin our guy.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
For Officer Karl Rove sit on Fox News a monon
ago diude, our guy can't win. You mean you mean
the Carl Rove that raised all the money for George P.
Bush to run against him and Paxton beat him. You
mean the Carl Rove that was directing the impeachment against
him by the Republican State House and he was defeated.
You mean the Karl Rove who worked against Trump in
twenty twenty four with NICKI Haley. You mean the Carl
(03:55):
Rove that's worked against everything you've ever want. Turd Blossom,
not the one. Karl Rove does not say what is
the truth. He says what is in the interest of
the people paying his four chin fat face. Here's Ken
Paxton announcing what he got Texas Children's Hospital to do.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
A controversial settlement over transgender care for miners reached today
between Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and Attorney General Ken Paxton.
After years of back and forth and the involvement of
the US Department of Justice, Texas Children's is agreeing to
pay ten million dollars to the state, provoke the privileges
of several doctors, and create what Paxton calls the nation's
(04:37):
first d transition clinic. This all stems from a twenty
twenty three state investigation into allegations that the hospital improperly
build Texas Medicaid for some of the care. In a statement,
Paxton says, in part quote, this settlement will ensure that
the duran's child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired
and held accountable, adding that the detransition clinic will help
(04:58):
provide free care to those who have been victimized by twisted,
morally bankrupt transgender ideology.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Ken Paxson has been using the Attorney General's office to
attack transgender people in a really obsessive way.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Equality Texas CEO Brad Pritchett tells me he's disappointed by
the settlement, saying a clinic focused on detransitioning instead of
gender affirming care doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
The type of healthcare that is specific for trans people
is continually being reduced, and those lanes are being narrowed,
and they're being pushed aside in favor of healthcare that
isn't a priority. There is no huge group of people
who are seeking this type of healthcare for trans healthcare,
the regret rates are incredibly low. I mean we're talking
one percent, sometimes less depending on the study.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Texas Children's maintains they follow the law, but in a
statement they say, quote, we are settling to protect our
resources from endless and constantly litigation. This settlement will allow
us to redirect those precious resources to focus on the
life saving care and groundbreaking discoveries of our exceptional clinicians.
And SI is what's your reaction to Texas children saying that? So?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I don't know that that's a really good argument. And
if the argument is we know what we did was right,
but we're just going to settle with something that's.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Not right, I don't think that's a valid argument. To
the phone lines, we go, We'll go Rick, Robin Andrew
in that order, Rick, your up goo.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I just want to encourage you that keeps sounding the
alarm on why not to vote for Chip Roy. I
know I'm going to vote for Paxton, and he just
proved his track record compared to John Wayne Corn and
that speaks for itself. I didn't know much about Chip Roy.
I kind of I kind of think May's Middleton's a
Bush establishment Republican. I proved me wrong on that. But
(06:41):
when you talked about Chip Roy yesterday, I think everybody
needs to know more about Chip Roy. So I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Chip called for Paxton's resignation. He pushed for Paxton to resign.
Paxton believes he worked behind the scenes within his office
to try to take him down with some other people
who were under the influence of Karl Rove and others.
They had worked against Paxton in Paxton's re election campaign. Look, folks,
(07:12):
you're going to cast your vote the way you should.
I'm just going to tell you what I believe to
be true. If you are for Paxton, it is inconsistent
to be for Roy. There is a reason Paxton allowed,
I believe last week a leaked audio at an event
where he said he's voting for Mays Middleton. Middleton didn't
(07:35):
support him in the first round. Paxton was for Aaron Rights,
and I was too. I think Aaron Wrights would have
made a great attorney general. Aaron Wrights proceeded to endorse
Mays Middleton, and he's campaigning the state for him.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It is widely understood. You do know not like it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You can love chip Roy. You can say, well, Ted
Cruz is for him, that's your vote. I'm not trashing
you for that. We can disagree, it is okay. Just understand.
If chip Roy wins, he's bringing back the people who
will hound Ken Paxton. So you will have your AG's
office harassing your US Senator day in and day out,
(08:16):
just as they did with DAVEE.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Feeling.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's the same people behind this. The let's don't doubt
me on this thing. Don't doubt me on this Pine
Crush show.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Chop tone indicates everything is ready for your call.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I was not aware of this when I mentioned Aton
him earlier in the Texas children Children's Hospital post, but
apparently a couple of days ago he put up a
post about chip Roy and the fact that he says that, well,
I'll just read.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
What he wrote.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
An unexpected phone call from chip Roy disqualifying behavior from
a desperate man. On Friday, just before noon, I got
an unexpected phone call from chip Roy. It lasted six minutes.
His behavior on this call was so remarkably bizarre and
reflected so poorly on his character. By the way, there
are multiple accounts like this. There's a woman who worked
with him in the AG's office who says, if you
ever worked with him or for him, you would never
(09:11):
want him to be the Attorney General because of his
anger and the way.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He treats people. I've heard this repeatedly, never seen it myself.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
His behavior on this call was so remarkably bizarre and
reflected so poorly on his character. I feel compelled to
do anything in my limited capacity to ensure he does
not become Texas Attorney General.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
This is aton Heim McGinn.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The doctor who was the whistleblower who Texas Children's Hospital
tried to destroy. I have supported Mays Middleton in this race,
but avoided public statements about but in avoided public statements
about it because my wife is an attorney leading many
of the gender cases at the Texas AG's Office, except
of course, for Texas Children's Hospital.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
For obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Remaining neutral publicly seemed prudent in order to avoid unnecessary
blowback that calculus has now changed. Texas voters deserve to
know who ch Broy is when no one is watching.
I'm providing a detailed description of the phone call below.
I was finishing up a meeting just before noon on
Friday when I got a call from an unknown Austin number.
I figured it was probably someone I knew, calling about
(10:12):
the big news from the Texas AG's office, since I
had been getting inundated with congratulatory calls and texts once
the story broke a few hours before, A. G. Paxton
announced that Texas Children's Hospital was entering into a ten
million dollars settlement to resolve healthcare fraud claims stemming from
the gender program and would be opening up the country's
first detransition clinic. After facing ten years in prison and
(10:34):
losing nearly everything I had, this was complete and pure vindication.
I answered the phone and asked who it was. The
voice on the other end response Chip Broy. I had
to do a double take. This was highly unexpected. We
never spoke on the phone or exchange text and the
only time we met was when I testified at the
House Judiciary Committee Weaponization Subcommittee hearing in April of last year.
(10:55):
Our conversation was only about five to ten minutes. He
also put out a few supportive statement during my prosecution,
so I knew he was familiar with my case. Although
a surprise, it was great to hear from him, Hey, Chip,
how you doing. Great to hear from you. I assumed
he felt vindicated by the news and was calling to
partake in a victory lap without even a simple doing, Well,
how about you? Chip Roy asked me in a sharply
(11:16):
aggressive tone, why I had reposted an ex post from
Mas Middleton, his primary.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Opponent in the Texas AG race.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Took me a few minutes a few seconds to register
what just happened. Chip Roy, one of the most prominent
Republicans in Congress, called me a relative nobody to ask
about a single social media repost. My instinctive response was bumbling, nonsense.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
What post? What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
But then I knew which post he meant. It was
a short two sentences quote tweet about A G. Paxton's
settlement with Texas Children's Hospital. The second sentence contained a
jab at chip Roy. Nothing particularly harsh, especially by ex standards.
And here is the post. Attorney General Paxton post that
we beat Texas Children's Hospital. We're going to stop the
(11:59):
transition and start detransitioning kids, and Mays Middleton.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Posted great work. I fought.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I fought to ban all child transgender surgeries. Meanwhile, chip
Roy authored an amendment to allow private transgender surgeries to
continue and to codify them, rewarding Gavin Newsom and the
trans lobby. But chip Roy was livid. He continued aggressively
demanding to know why I reposted lies about him. I
(12:27):
instantly recognized this as a highly flammable situation. I was
being unexpectedly ambushed by a powerful congressman who could potentially
become my wife's boss. Still, I'm no stranger to high
pressure situations. I tried to de escalate. The first thing
that popped in my mind was to explain why I
was taking a neutral approach to the race.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Maybe that would calm things down. It did not.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He didn't even acknowledge it and continue to ask why
I was spreading lies about him. Then I told him
that I'd be more than happy to correct the record
if I reposted something that was untrue. I didn't even
know what Mays's claim was in the post, since I
only skimmed the first sentence after seeing it highlighted. After
seeing that it highlighted the Texas Children's Hospital settlement. His answer,
Mays's post was a lie. We went back and forth
(13:12):
like this for a bit. I was asking the same
thing but in different ways, trying to look for an
opening to bring down the temperature. Every time, his answer
was the same, the post was a lie. He wasn't
explaining why it was a lie, only that it was
a lie. It was as if he wanted the force
of his assertions to replace the logic of an answer.
The initial shock of being bushwhacked by chip Roy started
(13:33):
to wear off. The situation was frustrating and absurd. One
of the two Republicans running for Attorney General of Texas
is berating me like we're middle school girls. Chip Roy
then brought up the congressional hearing from last April I
mentioned before. At one point he said, I gave you
a platform with that hearing. That was the moment the
(13:53):
key slid into the lock and I understood. Chip Roy
gave me something, and now he thinks I owe him.
In return our testimony wasn't something he was obligated to
use to fix a problem. It was like a podcast
where he gave people a platform as a favor.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Now he was calling that favor in. I was fuming.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Never in my life had I encountered someone who thought
treating people this way was acceptable. Since he brought up
the hearing, though, I figured I would ask about it,
what exactly happened in the months following the hearing to
hold the DOJ prosecutor to account given the fact that
she used her authority as a prosecutor to try to
send an innocent person, me to prison for ten years
as a crime he never committed. Here on out, I
made no effort to conceal my anger. Let me ask
(14:38):
you a question, what happened with Tina? I'm sorry. I
could tell he was caught off guard, almost like when
someone asked a question you didn't think they.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Would even know to ask. He said he didn't know
who she was.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
All that aggression dissipated faster than helium from a pop balloon.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That was peculiar.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I thought he seemed to remember the hearing well enough
to have brought it up right before easily recalled when
talking about it as his platform. Yes, somehow he couldn't
remember the corrupt prosecutor who was the sole reason for
putting together a weaponization hearing in the first place. Chip
Roy's press release announcing the hearing makes clear the purpose
was for Tina I'm Sorry to testify, which explains why
(15:17):
the majority of his opening statement detailed her cartoonishly blatant corruption.
I kept on pressing him to answer the question what
happened with Tina I'm sorry? Each round was more revealing
as his responses became more insecure and frantic. He was
throwing them out like spitfire. I don't remember, I don't remember,
I don't remember what told me everything I needed to
(15:39):
know were not the words of his denial, but the
desperation of his tone. This opened up the box of
accumulated rage that built up during my prosecution that rarely,
if ever, had been opened. The pressure inside was simply
too much to contain it. I always pride myself on
maintaining my composure, but I couldn't help myself but to
unleash a firestorm on him probably not my best moment.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I ended the phone call abruptly. It goes on for
a while longer.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
But Aton Hym can support Mas Middleton or whoever else
he wants, and you can support whoever you want.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But I do think it's important you understand there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Are a lot of powerful people like Carl Rove working
behind the scenes, and this is a lot bigger than
the two candidates on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's the Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
You have a photo that your photo matters.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Rob You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I want to share a Sila Jackson Lee story with you.
I attended the Final four game here in Houston by
in twenty seventeen with Villanoa, North Carolina. They gave out
seat cushions. The game ends, and I go down course
on the take photos and stay in first of him
except for two people. It turns out with Shila jacksonan
or assistant, and they climb up to the top to
the concourse where it consist down workers are there and
(16:52):
they get out and they greet her. They say, oh,
it's the queen and stuff, and then a couple of
them asked for the seat cushions. She turns them down.
Shows how small minded a selfish estincy person she was.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
She was a truly mean, spirited, cruel person who had
such a narcissistic, self aggrandizing, self centered worldview that it
meant nothing to her to step over people to get
where she wanted to be at that moment. Just awful.
(17:28):
You could talk to some of her former staffers.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Tim Fleck wrote about it at the Houston Press, Driving Mischila,
what's driving Mischila? Threw a book at a woman who
was blind in her office, legally blind, threw a book
at her. One girl who wanted a and this was
typical young black woman in college wanted a role model.
She's interning for the congressman. Her parents ended up in Washington,
(17:53):
d C. To pick her up to drive her back,
and they came by the office and they're sitting out
front in the lobby to just shake her hand and
thank her, and she she beerates the girl I didn't
agree to say hello to them, as poor girl's embarrassed
out of her mind. There's your black woman role model.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
She's awful. She's a monster.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
She's a terrible human being and things should not be
named for her. So now so now, what what are
we doing? What we've named We've named a building for
Mickey Leland, politician, Sylvester Turner, politician, Lee Brown, politician, Sheila Jackson,
Lee politician. Think about this, what about George Foreman, there's
(18:38):
a real role model. What about George Foreman past her father, grandfather,
business owner, inventor, boxer, world champion, classy man, spokesman, optimist,
mentor what about George Foreman? Nah, we don't really have
(19:00):
don't really have any room any buildings available for George Foreman.
Just politicians. Politicians naming buildings for other politicians and hope
that one day they too will have something named for them,
as if that's the only people in this community we
have who are successful. Unbelievable. We built international businesses out
(19:22):
of this community. We've done amazing things out of this community.
But no two bit race baders, that's who we name
things for. Cossey Andrew, You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
What's good, Michael? What are you doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm good? What about you? Andrew?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
I was feeling blessed in Holly favored or blessing holly
flavored as my friends at RC's Fry Bred Tacos. That's
Chris and Rob here in Conroe Porter Hikes area, Okay, man,
what you got, I got a lot man hold ont
from the early hearing. No, I was just talking about
(20:02):
what is kind of like we're talking about healing the community,
and that's kind of what I'm trying to do right now.
Is a kind of a community initiative called a heal
of the hood or the community of the Year's initiative.
I don't you call it. But for my birthday the
other day, I just mode my neighbor's grass, which I
(20:23):
promised her, and I broke my wrist and I had
to heal it naturally, so I said, I had to
learn to change diapers with one hand tie behind my back,
as you know, I said back in the day. And
I've been listening to your show since twenty twelve, so
I just I was trying to just call and tell you,
like you know you and a lot of other my mentors,
(20:44):
one of them specifically Michael Callier. It's Michael Caller. If
you want to turn into the Michael Collier Morning Show
from nine to ten thirty every Monday Central Standard time,
just reverse the times when you direct and it's on
GC Radio Hub as well. But it's kind of something
that helps you navigate these things called life, and so
(21:04):
that's being a dad. It's like, hey, dad's all across
the world. You'll ever like getting really mad and like
get super saying and you know, try to handle stuff.
I think all can relate. It's okay, but we all
just create. But yeah, I just wanted to call and
tell you that I'm just following through with the stuff
that you taught me. Remember you said, you know, instead
(21:27):
of going on indeed, just show up at a business
park and you know, start doing work. And I started
off as a plumber when I started listening to your
show in twenty twelve, and I did not have permission
them into the names. But yeah, shout out to all
my homies in Connor. But you'll know Mike Allen Rip
(21:49):
love you, bro. But yeah, just Michael Collier, Mike Allen,
and Michael Barry. Thanks for influencing me.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You got it. Ma man, I'm up.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I hope I've said something you can take to heart
that makes your life better. It wouldn't say everything I
say is worthy of being replicated or repeated, but if
we were able to uh in any way make your
life better as we pass the time together, all the better.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Thank you. For saying that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
So I saw something this morning that made me think
of Shirley Cue lickers. Where is my baby, daddy? Uh,

been arrested after allegedly scratching off every single scratch off
ticket at a Germantown Exxon while working in the register

thirty two year old lom Angelo.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Washington that's l E m O n j A E
l O like Lemonjello.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Washington decided the Tennessee lottery was basically a giant reimbursement program.
Witnesses say he spent the entire overnight shift scratching tickets
like a raccoon that found a red bull in a quarter.
The plan simple scratch all the tickets, use the winning
tickets to pay for the losing tickets, pocket to profit,
(23:27):
become Memphis Royalty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Police say lom Angelo confidently told officers, y'all don't understand,
eventually one of these gonna hit.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Oh my, I don't think lom Angelo was quite raised upright.

lots of great veterans here. And pronounced the word right.

Speaker 10 (26:40):
Queen's eye? He talked to my friend Michael Berry on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Oh Michael Berry, Hi, where did you serve what?
Speaker 5 (26:54):
My dad is in the bathroom.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
Now.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
He's Marco Serbina and he's a Korean war veteran army.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh my goodness, Oh wow, okay.
Speaker 12 (27:02):
Sick star, all right, our army sergeant. I so, our
whole squarehouse flooded and so we have nothing left. We
sold our house, put everything in storage. Everything flooded. So
then we came to Gallery Furniture to get our free mattress.
Praise Jesus, we got it. I mean, we waited two
(27:24):
hours and I thought, oh my gosh, we're beyond one
hundred and fifty. There's no way. But we're going to
have faith and we're going to stay here. And we're
going to stay in line and we're going to get
a mattress And I told my dad faith pays off,
and so we came in here. We found the beautiful
table and leather couch. We're getting that. Thank God for
(27:45):
our blessings, and we praise God. So the Lord rebuilds
what was destroyed, you know, the stores, the broken. Praise God.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Thank you Lord.
Speaker 12 (27:55):
Thank you for Mattress Mac. He's a gift from heavens.
And we are you Mattress Mac. You know all the
churches were closing. Mattress Mac opened his store during Hurricane Harvey,
and we have shopped here. This is my fourth bed
from Mattress Mac. Go when we need furniture. We paid
for the other one, yes, of course, and my mom
(28:19):
was sick and near the a bed that reclined and
raised and laid down and came up like a hospital.
So I bought two of those, and that was just online.
I bought it over the phone. And so we've been
here several years.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Did you talk to the other people in line in
front of you and behind you.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
I talked to the guy in front of me and
I said, are you in line for the free mattress.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
He said yes.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
I said, I think we're beyond one hundred and fifty
to you.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
He says probably.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
I said, well, we're just getting to wait it out.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And see, you weren't trying to get him to move right,
you're trying to, you know, reduce his spirits.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So we're all in line.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
We're all in line. Okay, did he get line blocks?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
He got one.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
He was in front of us, but the line was
four blocks.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, I'll tell you a dirty lord secret.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
When Max says one hundred and fifty mattresses, he doesn't
mean one hundred and fifty mattresses. He makes sure that
he's got way more than that, which is which is
pretty cool.
Speaker 12 (29:18):
I pray the Lord bless his Mattress Smack a thousand
times more.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Well, I will tell you, I hope that your father
understands how much we appreciate his service.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And this is really honoring that. And that's that's Mac.
Mac believes that in his heart. I've seen it, he
lives it.
Speaker 12 (29:37):
Yeah, thank you so much. All right, thank you, and
everybody needs to come and support Mattress Mack because he gives.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
He gives back.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I love it. Can you have it? Can you give
him the phone.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
Okay, it comes Mac, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Hello, Yes, sir, did.
Speaker 10 (29:53):

Speaker 7 (29:57):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
You got any more veterans that you can grab me one?
Speaker 11 (30:02):
I'm walking out to get some. She was in the
middle of the store buying this, buying stuff after she
got her mattresses.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Hold on one minute.
Speaker 10 (30:11):
Yeah, we had them lined up all day and there
there the greatest people.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
All these veterans are.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
So polite and so night and one or two of
them cut the line and the other ones kind of
h released themselves.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Shall we say, Yeah, Yeah, I'd say it was great.
Here we go.
Speaker 11 (30:43):
I'm almost there, no where. It's a big store, big store,
and I don't walk quite that they used to.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I'd say, for seventy five and a heart attack, you
doing pretty darn good. Hey, Matt Ramona hasn't eaten in
nine days. He's lost twenty two pounds literally, just water
and coffee.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, you said he just poops water.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
I didn't mean that.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I'm just I want in case you're wondering what a
nine day fast looks like, he's doing eleven.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
All right, Hi, I'm Max.

And yes, sir, the.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Four four all right? And then what made you?
Speaker 12 (32:19):
I don't live that no more, but that's where I'm from.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
What made me doing?
Speaker 13 (32:23):
I always wanted eighteen, but my mama said it was
the man's world, so I had to wait till I
was twenty six to make up my mind to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Your mom was quoting James Brown to you.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
No, no, she was.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
I'm like James Brown.
Speaker 13 (32:38):
Yes she was a discminary.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yes she was what she probably made you who you're are.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
Yeah, yeah, she was very strong.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
What did you think of Germany?
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
How was Germany for you?
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Germany with lovely? Lovely?
Speaker 13 (32:52):
I mean the safety, the security of that. You know,
you go places and you gotta wear by watching your bad.
Speaker 10 (33:01):
It was so sepure over there.
Speaker 13 (33:04):
It was beautiful, beautiful, and the people were very nice.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I'm glad you're there. Enjoy your mattress. Mac appreciates you,

Hello, yes, sir, hey, Mac, you got twenty five seconds.

Can you tell folks about if they buy three rooms
of furniture, you deliver anywhere the lower forty eight.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
But you got to do it.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
You buy three rooms of furniture, buy three rooms of furnature.
We read one I heard the other day for the
Michael Berry Show. We're delivering it to Florida on Friday.
Speaker 11 (33:38):
Buy three rooms furniture, we delivered anywhere in the continental
United States.
Speaker 10 (33:41):
Free, free, free, Let me just talk to another vesment.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Hi.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
What's your name, Jaustin Michael Garry here?
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 10 (33:52):
Dorseo Hot?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Thank you for your service, Door Sell, We appreciate you.
What brands, Thank your army right on
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. The
Michael Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I was talking to day time him during the break.
You'll remember him as the doctor who was the whistleblower
on the sex change procedures they were performing at Texas
Children's Hospital when he became a whistleblower to the Texas
(00:50):
State Senate. A state senator brought up the question, are
you Texas Children's Hospital performing sex changes on children? These
are permanent, very invasive procedures, irreversible. Do you remember that story? Well,
(01:15):
Aton was damn near destroyed. Keep your eye on the phone.
He may be calling in. But Attorney General Ken Paxton,
and this is what people will never understand. We don't
care about his personal life, and truthfully, neither do you.
The people telling you they care about Ken Paxton's personal
life or Donald Trump's personal life. They don't want to
do anything about Epstein. They don't want to do anything
(01:38):
about their guys. They just want to destroy that person,
and they're hoping you'll help them do it. I saw
a video yesterday I posted that some of you may
have seen it. It's a raccoon being attacked by five
coyotes and he just scratches and claws one and pivots
and scratches and claws, and they attack for every different direction.
(02:01):
He gets up against a wall to protect himself there
so they can't sneak in behind him, because they're trying
to hit him from behind. And I thought, what an
apt description, What an apt metaphor. We have to remember
what we're hiring someone to do. We have to remember
(02:22):
what we're hiring someone to do. If you're about to
have brain surgery, do you say to yourself, how long
have you been married? Is your wife happy with you?
Have you been through a divorce. I'm going to need
to know these sorts of things before you perform brain surgery. No,
there is a task you want him to perform. I'd
(02:44):
love every one of my elected officials to be a saint.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I would.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But what I really want is you to close the border,
fight the bad guys, turn the tide. I don't need
another Mike Pencer mett Romney. I don't need another virtue
signaling it's just beneath us to scrape with the Democrats.
I want pit bulls. I want guys that make the
Republican establishment uncomfortable. I want guys that stare them down.
(03:10):
I want guys that relish the fight. I want scrappers. Yeah,
they're imperfect people, but understand what we're hiring them to
do and stop letting them.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Get you distracted by that.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, I don't know if I like a scrapper whom
I I meancided like a scrapper.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like a scrapper. But uh, but then we got
to ruin our guy.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
For Officer Karl Rove sit on Fox News a monon
ago diude, our guy can't win. You mean you mean
the Carl Rove that raised all the money for George P.
Bush to run against him and Paxton beat him. You
mean the Carl Rove that was directing the impeachment against
him by the Republican State House and he was defeated.
You mean the Karl Rove who worked against Trump in
twenty twenty four with NICKI Haley. You mean the Carl
(03:55):
Rove that's worked against everything you've ever want. Turd Blossom,
not the one. Karl Rove does not say what is
the truth. He says what is in the interest of
the people paying his four chin fat face. Here's Ken
Paxton announcing what he got Texas Children's Hospital to do.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
A controversial settlement over transgender care for miners reached today
between Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and Attorney General Ken Paxton.
After years of back and forth and the involvement of
the US Department of Justice, Texas Children's is agreeing to
pay ten million dollars to the state, provoke the privileges
of several doctors, and create what Paxton calls the nation's
(04:37):
first d transition clinic. This all stems from a twenty
twenty three state investigation into allegations that the hospital improperly
build Texas Medicaid for some of the care. In a statement,
Paxton says, in part quote, this settlement will ensure that
the duran's child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired
and held accountable, adding that the detransition clinic will help
(04:58):
provide free care to those who have been victimized by twisted,
morally bankrupt transgender ideology.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Ken Paxson has been using the Attorney General's office to
attack transgender people in a really obsessive way.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Equality Texas CEO Brad Pritchett tells me he's disappointed by
the settlement, saying a clinic focused on detransitioning instead of
gender affirming care doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
The type of healthcare that is specific for trans people
is continually being reduced, and those lanes are being narrowed,
and they're being pushed aside in favor of healthcare that
isn't a priority. There is no huge group of people
who are seeking this type of healthcare for trans healthcare,
the regret rates are incredibly low. I mean we're talking
one percent, sometimes less depending on the study.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Texas Children's maintains they follow the law, but in a
statement they say, quote, we are settling to protect our
resources from endless and constantly litigation. This settlement will allow
us to redirect those precious resources to focus on the
life saving care and groundbreaking discoveries of our exceptional clinicians.
And SI is what's your reaction to Texas children saying that? So?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I don't know that that's a really good argument. And
if the argument is we know what we did was right,
but we're just going to settle with something that's.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Not right, I don't think that's a valid argument. To
the phone lines, we go, We'll go Rick, Robin Andrew
in that order, Rick, your up goo.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I just want to encourage you that keeps sounding the
alarm on why not to vote for Chip Roy. I
know I'm going to vote for Paxton, and he just
proved his track record compared to John Wayne Corn and
that speaks for itself. I didn't know much about Chip Roy.
I kind of I kind of think May's Middleton's a
Bush establishment Republican. I proved me wrong on that. But
(06:41):
when you talked about Chip Roy yesterday, I think everybody
needs to know more about Chip Roy. So I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Chip called for Paxton's resignation. He pushed for Paxton to resign.
Paxton believes he worked behind the scenes within his office
to try to take him down with some other people
who were under the influence of Karl Rove and others.
They had worked against Paxton in Paxton's re election campaign. Look, folks,
(07:12):
you're going to cast your vote the way you should.
I'm just going to tell you what I believe to
be true. If you are for Paxton, it is inconsistent
to be for Roy. There is a reason Paxton allowed,
I believe last week a leaked audio at an event
where he said he's voting for Mays Middleton. Middleton didn't
(07:35):
support him in the first round. Paxton was for Aaron Rights,
and I was too. I think Aaron Wrights would have
made a great attorney general. Aaron Wrights proceeded to endorse
Mays Middleton, and he's campaigning the state for him.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It is widely understood. You do know not like it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You can love chip Roy. You can say, well, Ted
Cruz is for him, that's your vote. I'm not trashing
you for that. We can disagree, it is okay. Just understand.
If chip Roy wins, he's bringing back the people who
will hound Ken Paxton. So you will have your AG's
office harassing your US Senator day in and day out,
(08:16):
just as they did with DAVEE.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Feeling.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's the same people behind this. The let's don't doubt
me on this thing. Don't doubt me on this Pine
Crush show.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Chop tone indicates everything is ready for your call.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I was not aware of this when I mentioned Aton
him earlier in the Texas children Children's Hospital post, but
apparently a couple of days ago he put up a
post about chip Roy and the fact that he says that, well,
I'll just read.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
What he wrote.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
An unexpected phone call from chip Roy disqualifying behavior from
a desperate man. On Friday, just before noon, I got
an unexpected phone call from chip Roy. It lasted six minutes.
His behavior on this call was so remarkably bizarre and
reflected so poorly on his character. By the way, there
are multiple accounts like this. There's a woman who worked
with him in the AG's office who says, if you
ever worked with him or for him, you would never
(09:11):
want him to be the Attorney General because of his
anger and the way.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He treats people. I've heard this repeatedly, never seen it myself.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
His behavior on this call was so remarkably bizarre and
reflected so poorly on his character. I feel compelled to
do anything in my limited capacity to ensure he does
not become Texas Attorney General.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
This is aton Heim McGinn.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
The doctor who was the whistleblower who Texas Children's Hospital
tried to destroy. I have supported Mays Middleton in this race,
but avoided public statements about but in avoided public statements
about it because my wife is an attorney leading many
of the gender cases at the Texas AG's Office, except
of course, for Texas Children's Hospital.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
For obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Remaining neutral publicly seemed prudent in order to avoid unnecessary
blowback that calculus has now changed. Texas voters deserve to
know who ch Broy is when no one is watching.
I'm providing a detailed description of the phone call below.
I was finishing up a meeting just before noon on
Friday when I got a call from an unknown Austin number.
I figured it was probably someone I knew, calling about
(10:12):
the big news from the Texas AG's office, since I
had been getting inundated with congratulatory calls and texts once
the story broke a few hours before, A. G. Paxton
announced that Texas Children's Hospital was entering into a ten
million dollars settlement to resolve healthcare fraud claims stemming from
the gender program and would be opening up the country's
first detransition clinic. After facing ten years in prison and
(10:34):
losing nearly everything I had, this was complete and pure vindication.
I answered the phone and asked who it was. The
voice on the other end response Chip Broy. I had
to do a double take. This was highly unexpected. We
never spoke on the phone or exchange text and the
only time we met was when I testified at the
House Judiciary Committee Weaponization Subcommittee hearing in April of last year.
(10:55):
Our conversation was only about five to ten minutes. He
also put out a few supportive statement during my prosecution,
so I knew he was familiar with my case. Although
a surprise, it was great to hear from him, Hey, Chip,
how you doing. Great to hear from you. I assumed
he felt vindicated by the news and was calling to
partake in a victory lap without even a simple doing, Well,
how about you? Chip Roy asked me in a sharply
(11:16):
aggressive tone, why I had reposted an ex post from
Mas Middleton, his primary.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Opponent in the Texas AG race.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Took me a few minutes a few seconds to register
what just happened. Chip Roy, one of the most prominent
Republicans in Congress, called me a relative nobody to ask
about a single social media repost. My instinctive response was bumbling, nonsense.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
What post? What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
But then I knew which post he meant. It was
a short two sentences quote tweet about A G. Paxton's
settlement with Texas Children's Hospital. The second sentence contained a
jab at chip Roy. Nothing particularly harsh, especially by ex standards.
And here is the post. Attorney General Paxton post that
we beat Texas Children's Hospital. We're going to stop the
(11:59):
transition and start detransitioning kids, and Mays Middleton.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Posted great work. I fought.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I fought to ban all child transgender surgeries. Meanwhile, chip
Roy authored an amendment to allow private transgender surgeries to
continue and to codify them, rewarding Gavin Newsom and the
trans lobby. But chip Roy was livid. He continued aggressively
demanding to know why I reposted lies about him. I
(12:27):
instantly recognized this as a highly flammable situation. I was
being unexpectedly ambushed by a powerful congressman who could potentially
become my wife's boss. Still, I'm no stranger to high
pressure situations. I tried to de escalate. The first thing
that popped in my mind was to explain why I
was taking a neutral approach to the race.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Maybe that would calm things down. It did not.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He didn't even acknowledge it and continue to ask why
I was spreading lies about him. Then I told him
that I'd be more than happy to correct the record
if I reposted something that was untrue. I didn't even
know what Mays's claim was in the post, since I
only skimmed the first sentence after seeing it highlighted. After
seeing that it highlighted the Texas Children's Hospital settlement. His answer,
Mays's post was a lie. We went back and forth
(13:12):
like this for a bit. I was asking the same
thing but in different ways, trying to look for an
opening to bring down the temperature. Every time, his answer
was the same, the post was a lie. He wasn't
explaining why it was a lie, only that it was
a lie. It was as if he wanted the force
of his assertions to replace the logic of an answer.
The initial shock of being bushwhacked by chip Roy started
(13:33):
to wear off. The situation was frustrating and absurd. One
of the two Republicans running for Attorney General of Texas
is berating me like we're middle school girls. Chip Roy
then brought up the congressional hearing from last April I
mentioned before. At one point he said, I gave you
a platform with that hearing. That was the moment the
(13:53):
key slid into the lock and I understood. Chip Roy
gave me something, and now he thinks I owe him.
In return our testimony wasn't something he was obligated to
use to fix a problem. It was like a podcast
where he gave people a platform as a favor.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Now he was calling that favor in. I was fuming.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Never in my life had I encountered someone who thought
treating people this way was acceptable. Since he brought up
the hearing, though, I figured I would ask about it,
what exactly happened in the months following the hearing to
hold the DOJ prosecutor to account given the fact that
she used her authority as a prosecutor to try to
send an innocent person, me to prison for ten years
as a crime he never committed. Here on out, I
made no effort to conceal my anger. Let me ask
(14:38):
you a question, what happened with Tina? I'm sorry. I
could tell he was caught off guard, almost like when
someone asked a question you didn't think they.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Would even know to ask. He said he didn't know
who she was.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
All that aggression dissipated faster than helium from a pop balloon.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That was peculiar.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I thought he seemed to remember the hearing well enough
to have brought it up right before easily recalled when
talking about it as his platform. Yes, somehow he couldn't
remember the corrupt prosecutor who was the sole reason for
putting together a weaponization hearing in the first place. Chip
Roy's press release announcing the hearing makes clear the purpose
was for Tina I'm Sorry to testify, which explains why
(15:17):
the majority of his opening statement detailed her cartoonishly blatant corruption.
I kept on pressing him to answer the question what
happened with Tina I'm sorry? Each round was more revealing
as his responses became more insecure and frantic. He was
throwing them out like spitfire. I don't remember, I don't remember,
I don't remember what told me everything I needed to
(15:39):
know were not the words of his denial, but the
desperation of his tone. This opened up the box of
accumulated rage that built up during my prosecution that rarely,
if ever, had been opened. The pressure inside was simply
too much to contain it. I always pride myself on
maintaining my composure, but I couldn't help myself but to
unleash a firestorm on him probably not my best moment.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I ended the phone call abruptly. It goes on for
a while longer.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
But Aton Hym can support Mas Middleton or whoever else
he wants, and you can support whoever you want.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But I do think it's important you understand there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Are a lot of powerful people like Carl Rove working
behind the scenes, and this is a lot bigger than
the two candidates on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's the Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
You have a photo that your photo matters.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Rob You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I want to share a Sila Jackson Lee story with you.
I attended the Final four game here in Houston by
in twenty seventeen with Villanoa, North Carolina. They gave out
seat cushions. The game ends, and I go down course
on the take photos and stay in first of him
except for two people. It turns out with Shila jacksonan
or assistant, and they climb up to the top to
the concourse where it consist down workers are there and
(16:52):
they get out and they greet her. They say, oh,
it's the queen and stuff, and then a couple of
them asked for the seat cushions. She turns them down.
Shows how small minded a selfish estincy person she was.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
She was a truly mean, spirited, cruel person who had
such a narcissistic, self aggrandizing, self centered worldview that it
meant nothing to her to step over people to get
where she wanted to be at that moment. Just awful.
(17:28):
You could talk to some of her former staffers.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Tim Fleck wrote about it at the Houston Press, Driving Mischila,
what's driving Mischila? Threw a book at a woman who
was blind in her office, legally blind, threw a book
at her. One girl who wanted a and this was
typical young black woman in college wanted a role model.
She's interning for the congressman. Her parents ended up in Washington,
(17:53):
d C. To pick her up to drive her back,
and they came by the office and they're sitting out
front in the lobby to just shake her hand and
thank her, and she she beerates the girl I didn't
agree to say hello to them, as poor girl's embarrassed
out of her mind. There's your black woman role model.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
She's awful. She's a monster.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
She's a terrible human being and things should not be
named for her. So now so now, what what are
we doing? What we've named We've named a building for
Mickey Leland, politician, Sylvester Turner, politician, Lee Brown, politician, Sheila Jackson,
Lee politician. Think about this, what about George Foreman, there's
(18:38):
a real role model. What about George Foreman past her father, grandfather,
business owner, inventor, boxer, world champion, classy man, spokesman, optimist,
mentor what about George Foreman? Nah, we don't really have
(19:00):
don't really have any room any buildings available for George Foreman.
Just politicians. Politicians naming buildings for other politicians and hope
that one day they too will have something named for them,
as if that's the only people in this community we
have who are successful. Unbelievable. We built international businesses out
(19:22):
of this community. We've done amazing things out of this community.
But no two bit race baders, that's who we name
things for. Cossey Andrew, You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
What's good, Michael? What are you doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm good? What about you? Andrew?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
I was feeling blessed in Holly favored or blessing holly
flavored as my friends at RC's Fry Bred Tacos. That's
Chris and Rob here in Conroe Porter Hikes area, Okay, man,
what you got, I got a lot man hold ont
from the early hearing. No, I was just talking about
(20:02):
what is kind of like we're talking about healing the community,
and that's kind of what I'm trying to do right now.
Is a kind of a community initiative called a heal
of the hood or the community of the Year's initiative.
I don't you call it. But for my birthday the
other day, I just mode my neighbor's grass, which I
(20:23):
promised her, and I broke my wrist and I had
to heal it naturally, so I said, I had to
learn to change diapers with one hand tie behind my back,
as you know, I said back in the day. And
I've been listening to your show since twenty twelve, so
I just I was trying to just call and tell you,
like you know you and a lot of other my mentors,
(20:44):
one of them specifically Michael Callier. It's Michael Caller. If
you want to turn into the Michael Collier Morning Show
from nine to ten thirty every Monday Central Standard time,
just reverse the times when you direct and it's on
GC Radio Hub as well. But it's kind of something
that helps you navigate these things called life, and so
(21:04):
that's being a dad. It's like, hey, dad's all across
the world. You'll ever like getting really mad and like
get super saying and you know, try to handle stuff.
I think all can relate. It's okay, but we all
just create. But yeah, I just wanted to call and
tell you that I'm just following through with the stuff
that you taught me. Remember you said, you know, instead
(21:27):
of going on indeed, just show up at a business
park and you know, start doing work. And I started
off as a plumber when I started listening to your
show in twenty twelve, and I did not have permission
them into the names. But yeah, shout out to all
my homies in Connor. But you'll know Mike Allen Rip
(21:49):
love you, bro. But yeah, just Michael Collier, Mike Allen,
and Michael Barry. Thanks for influencing me.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
You got it. Ma man, I'm up.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I hope I've said something you can take to heart
that makes your life better. It wouldn't say everything I
say is worthy of being replicated or repeated, but if
we were able to uh in any way make your
life better as we pass the time together, all the better.
Speaker 1 (22:25):

like a raccoon that found a red bull in a quarter.
The plan simple scratch all the tickets, use the winning
tickets to pay for the losing tickets, pocket to profit,

Sick star, all right, our army sergeant. I so, our
whole squarehouse flooded and so we have nothing left. We
sold our house, put everything in storage. Everything flooded. So
then we came to Gallery Furniture to get our free mattress.
Praise Jesus, we got it. I mean, we waited two
(27:24):
hours and I thought, oh my gosh, we're beyond one
hundred and fifty. There's no way. But we're going to
have faith and we're going to stay here. And we're
going to stay in line and we're going to get
a mattress And I told my dad faith pays off,
and so we came in here. We found the beautiful
table and leather couch. We're getting that. Thank God for
(27:45):
our blessings, and we praise God. So the Lord rebuilds
what was destroyed, you know, the stores, the broken. Praise God.
Speaker 5 (27:54):

raised and laid down and came up like a hospital.

I bought it over the phone. And so we've been
here several years.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Did you talk to the other people in line in
front of you and behind you.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
I talked to the guy in front of me and
I said, are you in line for the free mattress.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
He said yes.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
I said, I think we're beyond one hundred and fifty
to you.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
He says probably.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
I said, well, we're just getting to wait it out.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And see, you weren't trying to get him to move right,
you're trying to, you know, reduce his spirits.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So we're all in line.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
We're all in line. Okay, did he get line blocks?
Speaker 5 (29:01):

He was in front of us, but the line was
four blocks.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, I'll tell you a dirty lord secret.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
When Max says one hundred and fifty mattresses, he doesn't
mean one hundred and fifty mattresses. He makes sure that
he's got way more than that, which is which is
pretty cool.
Speaker 12 (29:18):
I pray the Lord bless his Mattress Smack a thousand
times more.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Well, I will tell you, I hope that your father
understands how much we appreciate his service.

lives it.
