Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that sign time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, time's luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The Michael Verry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Philip Wright Star. A few years ago, my wife got
promoted in her company to work for the corporate attorney
who was Bob Uker Junior. They all work from home.
I saw his name one time on her screen and
I said, you know who that is? And she said who?
Then she said, well, it does have a lot of
(00:50):
jerseys framed up behind him on teams. Calls what jerseys brewers?
I think, jeez, Louise woman. So she asked him about
his dad and he said he was alive. And well
then I kept pestering her to work in the phrase
just a bit outside into a conversation with him, but
(01:11):
she wouldn't do it. My wife was in a deal
closing and it was the investment bankers and the lawyers,
and this guy comes flying in and he comes in
and somehow along the way, you know, they have their
(01:31):
name tags around there, and hers is Nindy Taberry and
his is whatever it is, Fogelberg. And she says, how
do you say that? And he said Fogelberg. She said, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You know, like the singer. I don't know what that means.
She has no clue, you know, like you know, Damn Phogelberg.
Come my brother, who Damn Phogelberg Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
This guy's whole identity was tied up into him being
Dan Fogelberg's brother and you being impressed or at least
buying him a beer. She comes home, I swear if
I'm lying, I'm dying. Do you know who Dan Fogerty is?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And jes what?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So he said his brother was Dan.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Fogerty and I said no, it was would have been
Damn fogels.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know that song Old lang Seyn, Yeah, I looked
it up. Okay, I have heard of it.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You heard of that?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, I heard this a great song.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Okay, but that's Fogelberg, not Fogerty. It's always funny when
someone thinks that they are someone that they know is a.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Big deal and they.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Realize that someone else doesn't think that they're a big deal.
It is the most deflating thing people love to say,
and I don't think they realize how awkward it is.
It doesn't bother me one bit. I'm on the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's not like you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I expect to see my face, but people will come up.
They'll have their wife with them, and they'll come on
and go, hey, Michael Berry. Michael Berry, Okay, yeah, hey,
it's my wife. She has no idea who you are.
Where is that conversation supposed to go?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Really?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You seem fascinating.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't get to come across enough people who have
no idea who I am. This is a really special moment.
Can we take a photo? It is the weirdest thing,
all right? Ramon dead or alive? James Earl Jones, James
Earl Jones, Darth Vader coming to America, Field of Dreams
(03:58):
and the pack Bell despect Bell phone voicer died at
ninety three. How about Chris Christofferson. Chris Chris Stofferson has
passed at eighty eight, born in Brownsville, died in Maui. Moll,
(04:18):
Can I tell you something that's going to disappoint him.
Ramon's been to Maui five times. I had never been
to Mali. We were going to Japan at Christmas and
Michael t loves Hawaii, so he wanted to stop on
the way back, and we had not been to Hawaii.
Who had not been to Mali? And yeah, some people
stop at Buggies. We stopped in Mali, and we had
(04:40):
promised Michael that was part of his deal. I liked Maui,
but I can't tell you that I thought Mali was
better than Kawaii by any People go crazy over Maui.
I don't understand what makes I mean, you ether like
Hawaii or you don't. But if you like Hawaii, I
didn't see Maui being so different than the others. I don't.
(05:01):
I'm not what, No, Leonard Skinner and Arrowsmith, that's that's
that's okay. You think you're being funny, Now that's that's
not a Joe and that's not something that's funny.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Fifteen years ago, actually almost twenty years ago, I got
to interview I got to introduce Herb Keller Hair. I
was the chairman of the Aviation Committee in the city
of Houston, so it kind of oversaw the airport and
Herb Keller Hair was being honored by the National Aviation
(05:34):
Society or whatever it was, and the event was in Houston,
and forgive me, I've told the story before, so some
of you've heard it, but you know most of you haven't.
And I worshiped Herb Kella Hair. So I went to
Gordon Bethune before the interview, and I got some background
on you know them, they're both big egos and hard
chargers and tough, sturdy men, and apparently that they you know,
(05:58):
they both drove Harley's and you know they're both strong,
charismatic personalities driving their companies. And I introduced him at
this event by telling the story of what had happened
a couple of years earlier at a shareholder meeting, and
a shareholder stood up and said, mister Kellahair, you have
(06:24):
prostate cancer and you are a big part of what
our stock price is tied to because your longevity is
tied to the success of this company. Now that you
have prostate cancer and you've not stopped smoking, are you
going to stop smoking? And he said no, because I
(06:48):
don't smoke out of my ass. And I thought that
was the great the greatest story. So I told that story,
and as I did, I turned to my right and
he's sitting up on the dais at the head table,
and he's in the seat next to me. He has
fired up a cigarette in the middle of my story,
and I hadn't even noticed, and I glanced behind me
(07:10):
and there is a sign that says no smoking, but
you're not telling herb Kellor Hair not to smoke. Well.
Southwest Airlines has announced sweeping layoffs at their Dallas headquarter,
laying off seventeen hundred and fifty employees at their Dallas
headquarters for the first time in their history. Folks, change
(07:31):
is inevitable. Don't be scared of it. The days of
my dad working for forty years at DuPont are over.
Those days are gone. That's not going to happen any longer.
Chevron is reducing up to twenty percent of their global
workforce and unfortunately, a lot of that's going to come
at the top, and the top is headquartered right here
in Houston. One of the exciting things about being a
(07:51):
city that lures companies to have your headquarters in your
city is that when those companies suffer, you suffer because
you grow accustomed to the wealth that they bring to
your community.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But it's an.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Unfortunate time in the life of Southwest Airlines because that
was for years and years I had no money. You
talk about a discount carrier, they were solid. There's still
I still like to fly Southwest Airline.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I still think there's something specially about the airline. I
just I think they fell behind.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Mica Ferry Shelf.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Trashing airlines is export, and we've all had that experience.
The airline industry has gone down in terms of customer service,
and there's no doubt in my mind about that. You
walk around an airport which you're run by the municipalities
where they are either the city or the county or
sometimes it's a joint city county commission that administers those.
(08:58):
In Houston, it's all the City of Houston, and you
look at the areas where you sit and you see
that like a bench in a metro a public transport shack,
you see that they don't want you to lay down.
(09:18):
You can sit, but the bars prevent you from laying
down unless you were really talented and maybe you could
lay on top of those bars.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And so you walk along and you.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
See people, especially when you're traveling east, you end up
in airports in the middle of the night one o'clock,
two o'clock and you're catching a connecting and you walk
along you see the people who are laid out and
they look like they've been asleep there for a while.
And they're stuck in the airport for some period of time,
and some people are stuck for days. And they've made
(09:49):
certain that you can't lay down on the seats even
though there's nobody there. And you look around at every
airport as you go to board, and you say to yourself, second,
there are never enough seats. Ever, it's not that hard
if you've got if you expect that a plane can seat.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't know how many they can seat.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Let's say con seat two hundred people, whatever that number is,
you put fifty percent more because people put their stuff
in between them, and God forbid. You asked the lady, hey,
could you move all your crap because I want to
sit down? And she's got all her stuff there in
a seat. But you stand around at airports looking for
a place to sit. How hard was this? You built
(10:36):
this airport, build enough seating, and then you walk in
areas they've got the little areas where somebody's sitting on
the massage chair.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Ooh.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
They hate when you do that, not paying for the
massage chair, just using it to sit in. Why not
put more seating there. I've argued this for years and
years and years. They take no efforts to make an
airport comfortable, not even the slightest bit. And there's there's
because there's no regard for the consumer. There's no regard
(11:07):
for the passenger, there's no I'll tell you what is
a great airport In all my airport days, maybe my
favorite airport is skip Ole in UH Amsterdam. Fantastic airport.
Terrible airports the Gale Standstead, Gatwick, what's the big one
(11:29):
in UH London?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
There's two?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
What he throwed terrible John F.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Kennedy. Although I kind of like Donn F. Kennedy. John F.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Kennedy reminds me of what an airport would have been
in the sixties because they haven't updated. It's kind of
dirty and grudgey, but it's it's very it's very New York,
uh in a time that I kind of idolized New York.
So I don't I don't mind JFK, don't mind JFK.
I'll tell you it's not about airport, and it's probably
it's one of the few things Baltimore does right is
(11:59):
because for years all I could afford was Southwest Airlines
and I didn't mind. I used to say it's better
than Continental, and people to laugh, especially people that I
knew because they were all first class on Continental people.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
But I enjoyed flying Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I thought that they I love the fact that if
you miss a flight, there's another one in thirty minutes.
No matter where it's going, there's another one in thirty minutes.
We were coming back from New York one night and
he had to go to Long Island. It was islip,
I think it is, and we somehow one of the
flights didn't make or whatever else.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
We get to an airport, we're rushing.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
They let us on a flight, last two seats on there,
and they led us on a flight the last minute.
They got us back and I had to be at
work the next morning, and we made it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
And they, I mean they didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Even they didn't put it through the system that two
seats left were running through the thing. We please get
back to Houston. They pitied us, and a lot of
people in the airline business have They don't have any
pity for people anymore. They got pissed off somewhere along
the way. They got pissed off. And I will say this,
people will act like an ass on an airplane that
they want in a way. They won't act any other
(13:08):
time because their anxiety is high and they are upset
and there everybody's fighting and putting their stuff up there.
And I would like to be a person and I
think we should do this. It wouldn't take long. I
would like to be a person that has a handhelds
done gun that as people were walking on and they've
got you can tell it's too much to put in
the overhead. But you know it's too much. There's no
(13:29):
doubt it's too much. And you'd go, you think that's
going in the overhead or do you think you're going
to get back there? Fight with it for a while
while we all wait to get on the plane, and
then we're going to have to bring it back up.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Is that? What's okay?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You want me to stun you one time now or
three times? If it doesn't go in and that's what
you're doing, it wouldn't take long as we're to get out. Hey,
you know this's done, gun you let's not bring our
this massive one. We're we're not going to bring it.
Let's just let's not do that. Southwest Airlines announces sweeping
layoffs at Dallas headquarters.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I'm not sure why.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
This makes me sad, but it does w f av.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
It has been a dark day for Southwest as the
airline announces mass layoffs for the first time in company
history and it's fifty three years in operation. Never ever
did Southwest Airlines enact a mass layoffs until now.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Nobody in headquarters. It's going to be sleeping well tonight,
if they sleep at all.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Airline expert Steve Cosgrove spent Monday night on the phone
with his friends and colleagues who work at Southwest.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
They told him they were ordered to leave headquarters at
six pm there to report back in the morning and
they would basically been told at that time whether they
have a job or not.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
The company announced it will lay off one thy, seven
hundred and fifty of its employees. That is fifteen percent
of the airline's entire corporate workforce, which means major major
impacts on the love Field headquarters.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Still is a sad moment, quite honestly.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Aviation consultant and former Southwest spokesperson Ed Stewart were called
how the airline publicly boasted for years about never laying
off its employees.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
There's always people first.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
That's why I think this is such a big shock
in the industry right now.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
According to Southwest, the move will save the company approximately
three hundred million dollars annually moving forward. Will Anderson is
the editor in chief of the Dallas business journal.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
THEO Bob Jordan has said that he wants to say,
run five hundred million dollars a year, So this gets
some part of the way there, but not all the way.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
The historic cuts come during stressful times for the airline
amid they're run in with an activist investor. Southwest is
in the midst of a board shakeup and an aggressive
effort to reduce costs.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Fifty years they've never laid off.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I think about how herb Kella Hairs started that business,
and he was a lawyer by day going to court.
Frank Lorenzo's as was trying to put them out of business.
Continental was trying to put them out of business. The
industry was trying to put them out of business. And
he would lawyer all day and then he would by
night come back and run the company. And they flew,
(15:55):
They flew Houston, Dallas, San Antono. And that was just
a little trying the same plane. It just they would
make that keep that plane in the air all day
and fight by day to stay alive. But my understanding
is that for those years of the two thousands and
the oughts, they were they were booking profits but not
investing in technology, and they fell so far behind that
(16:16):
it's it's very hard to catch up.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Probably lose a lot of respect, but it's it's my
honest opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's hard, it's hard to articulate, but I'm going to
do my best. The Beach Boys were always in the
background for me growing up.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
They're they're not a band, They're the soundtrack of life.
It's there, kind of like the Beatles. I never really
like when I think of bands, there's a band, they're
playing music, and they're not playing music. The Beach Boys
are just sort of this thing that's always on loop
wherever you are all the time. And so I never
(17:10):
really bothered to be a fan or not be a fan,
and I never did a deep dive into their music
until a few years ago. And you know, the serious
mental health problems that they're mostly lead singer until he
wasn't but lead writer had and the troubles they had
(17:30):
with his father, and you've got the brothers and you've
got everything going on, and then just stratospheric popularity. People
think of the Beatles getting off the plane and the
girls going crazy, but the Beach Boys were bigger in
the US, and pet Sounds was more influential, and the
Beatles wanted to make music like that.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I have always liked.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
This song, but the deeper I dug into this song
in the history and you know, the whole kind of
British American love affair with the Caribbean and the Caribbean
people and the seafaring cultures and all.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It's it's fascinating to me. I love this song well.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I had been communicating with a fellow named Phil Snyder,
who was one of six people to ever for Disney
be the voice of Jiminy Cricket and Phil Snyder it's
very talented, a ranger instrumentalist, and he loves the song
Sloop John B. And he made a version as a
(18:38):
tribute to Donald Trump, which he calls the Sloop don
Te And he sent it to me and asked if
I would do him the honor of playing it, and
I said, I'm sorry, but no. However, the appeal to Ramone,
and Ramone said yes, we will in fact play it.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Says Gante.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
The maga prind saying, and where the sheep, please take

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Go alone, all right, Ramon get her alive.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Bobcat goldswaye.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He is sixty two and in Bobcat goldthway years. That's
ninety seven. That's a run for him. Dead or alive.
Diane Keaton from the Godfather, Father of the Bride, Diane
Keaton is alive seventy nine, Dead or alive. Adam West Batman.
(22:26):
That's a tough one, right, Nope, he's dead at eighty eight.
Gary Coleman from Different Strokes. Gary Coleman is dead forty
two or or feet eight inch star whatever you prefer. Yeah,
I'll hold the others for you for now.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's plenty for you for right now.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Nelson Haregrove writes, my father in law was at a restaurant.
Manager came over to the table, pumped the meal for
the entire table and said, big fan of yours, mister Walkin.
Falla law didn't say anything because he didn't want to
embarrass the guy. That's a good story that your father
in law was mistaken for Christopher Walkin.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
But let's make no mistakes here. He didn't fail to correct.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The man because he didn't want to embarrass the guy.
He failed to correct the man because he didn't want
to have to pay the bill. I mean, if a
guy comps your meal, you know, there's a great story.
I'm going to do the entire story at some point.
The Rich Carleton has a policy that any employee has
(23:39):
the authority, any employee, the lady that changes the sheets
to comp up to two thousand dollars in a day
to solve a problem. And they figured out that a
rich Carlton employee is on average worth to them I
think one hundred and ninety seven thousand dollars because Rich
Carlton customers are loyal. Rich Carlton is something you stay
(24:00):
at one time, you know, Maywell, Marriott or.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Rich carl It's expensive. And so there are stories. I'm
going to do a podcast on this. I've been reading
about this.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There are stories where a kid, you know, where an
item is left in Atlanta and the people are in Hawaii,
and a staffer hopped on a plane and flew there
and flew back to keep the item from being lost
in the It's incredible, it's in incredible the authority you
give an employee, and what a difference it makes to
customers shows nice.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Don't call them a fat pick Dorf saying this straight up,
saying this and his version of suspicious minds the only
Elvis cover.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I will about it, but I will about it.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Expectation is that today the Senate will move to advance
Cash Patel for FBI Director and outright confirm Howard Lutnick
for Commerce. Advancing Cash Pattel requires a vote on cloture,
which will allow Senate Majority Leader Thoon to close debate.
(25:13):
Cloture means ending the filibuster. All right, guys, we're gonna
have a vote if you have enough for cloture, which
is the closure of debate c l O t U
r E. If you have enough for cloture unless someone
votes for cloture and then votes against it, and that
can happen, but in this case won't.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Then he will pass.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Fifty two forty eight is my expectation, because Mitch McConnell
will vote against him. You got to figure Cash Patel
must have never had sex in his life or even
been in the presence of a woman, because what they
do very effectively is the Brett Kavanaugh attack. They claim
they were a rapist, a drunk rapist. They did it
(25:57):
to Clarence Thomas, they did it to Brett Kevanaugh. They
did it, of course recently to Pete Hegseth. And that's
how they peel off Lisa Rakowski and Susan Collins because
girl power got all sticked together, because we have the
same reproductive organs.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
And so.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
They haven't hit him with that. In fact, you got
to figure Cash Ptel is pretty christine if they haven't
been able to dredge up anything on him, because Adam
Schiff is scared to death. There's a reason Joe Biden
pardoned Adam Schiff. We've got a member of the Senate
and members of Congress, Benny or Bernie Thompson from Michigan.
(26:40):
Of course, Liz Cheney's out. We've got we've got a
sitting US Senator from California who was pardoned by the President,
Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Let mean think about that.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Accepting a pardon, which he said he wouldn't do and
then did, is an admission of gift. You know, it
is treated by Supreme Court decision as an admission of commission.
So Cash Bettel will be voted out today and confirmed
tomorrow or Thursday.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And when that happens, it is on. Oh is it
ever gonna be on? My goodness, it's gonna be a
great day, a great day, indeed, all right?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Ramon dead or alive. Deborah Paget, who lives in Houston.
We had her on the show years ago. She was
Elvis's co star in Love Me Tender and a complete
smoke show back in the day.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Remember she was on.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
She liked Joanne Herring. She still forks better than anyone
young woman at ninety years old.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Dead her alive?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
She is alive and well. Barry Gordy, the founder of
Motown and maker of Diana Ross's Love Child. That is correct.
Barry Gordy is alive. Norman schwartz Off.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
He died in twenty twelve at seventy eight. Dick Van
Dyke wrong, Dick van Dyke is alive.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
He was in the news recently. I remember we talked
about him on in the air. Is he one hundred?
I think he is a hundred. Nick Van Dyke was
a happy time in my childhood. Chim chimmy, chim chimminy,
chim chim cheru.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
That was fantastic. You know, Petru and I were talking.
Every time I tell a story after I work out,
I'll say, you know, Petrock and I were talking, and
she says.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You know, you talk a lot during your workouts.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
She says, I work out exactly as long as you do,
and one more day a week than you do, because
she works out practically every day. She works out with
Petru or by herself every day. And I don't have
anything to share that Petro and I talked about because
I don't talk. Well, that's your problem. I'm looking for
show prep here, trying to build a little show prep here. Anyway,
(28:58):
I forgot what we were talking about. Now, Oh, we're
talking about people who had a show that had well.
He was talking about Andy Griffith, And in fact, it's
probably a good time for that that Gulf of America thing.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
You got that Andy Griffith clip.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
And Andy is helping a fellow pass his quiz and
he's going over the water bodies and he says, he
names everything old man Kelsey's, Old Man Kelsey's Creek, old
Man Kelsey's late.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Here was that moment man old Man Kelsey's woods.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
All the way to the edge, big body of water.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh, man keys quick ocean old man.
Speaker 3 (29:38):

Rich little, rich little de or alive rich little is alive? Impressions?
Can I get my music back?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
That was nice?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
How about mel Brooks of the Great Blazing Side and
partially of Young Frankenstein. But that's only because Gene Wilder
insisted to be helped. Mel Brooks is alive. I read
the mel Brooks autobiography a couple of years ago, and
(30:15):
I highly commend it. If you enjoyed mel Brooks's work.
Speaker 10 (30:22):
I.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Highly highly commend a springtime for Hitler. Blazing saddles Young Frankens.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It is and he lays it all out there. It's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It is a romp through those years of great film

Speaker 1 (30:40):
He made popular.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Buzz Aldrin astronaut, buzz Aldrin astronaut alive. He punched a
guy in the gut last year. He's not playing around.
Buzz Aldrin is not playing around. How about Text Cobb

(31:02):
Thomas alive eighty seven Augie Garrito passed.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
In twenty exteen.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
By other day.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That was a question I had posed earlier in the program.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You see this video of the humpback well off the
waters of Chile swallowing the kayaker. You seen it swallows
the kayaker, spits him back out. His dad pretty fit
for his age. He's and he's kind of time Trunk, Trunk,
Come on over here, stay calm, we're hold.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Somewhere.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
There's some old, grizzled, drunk mechanic listener of ours. It's
one of our hardcore best listeners out there, and he's
smoking a cigarette right now.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Ladies, if a
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Humpback well can swallow a kayaker, you know my ask
why I have perf
It's that sign time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, time's luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The Michael Verry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Philip Wright Star. A few years ago, my wife got
promoted in her company to work for the corporate attorney
who was Bob Uker Junior. They all work from home.
I saw his name one time on her screen and
I said, you know who that is? And she said who?
Then she said, well, it does have a lot of
(00:50):
jerseys framed up behind him on teams. Calls what jerseys brewers?
I think, jeez, Louise woman. So she asked him about
his dad and he said he was alive. And well
then I kept pestering her to work in the phrase
just a bit outside into a conversation with him, but
(01:11):
she wouldn't do it. My wife was in a deal
closing and it was the investment bankers and the lawyers,
and this guy comes flying in and he comes in
and somehow along the way, you know, they have their
(01:31):
name tags around there, and hers is Nindy Taberry and
his is whatever it is, Fogelberg. And she says, how
do you say that? And he said Fogelberg. She said, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You know, like the singer. I don't know what that means.
She has no clue, you know, like you know, Damn Phogelberg.
Come my brother, who Damn Phogelberg Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
This guy's whole identity was tied up into him being
Dan Fogelberg's brother and you being impressed or at least
buying him a beer. She comes home, I swear if
I'm lying, I'm dying. Do you know who Dan Fogerty is?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And jes what?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So he said his brother was Dan.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Fogerty and I said no, it was would have been
Damn fogels.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know that song Old lang Seyn, Yeah, I looked
it up. Okay, I have heard of it.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You heard of that?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, I heard this a great song.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Okay, but that's Fogelberg, not Fogerty. It's always funny when
someone thinks that they are someone that they know is a.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Big deal and they.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Realize that someone else doesn't think that they're a big deal.
It is the most deflating thing people love to say,
and I don't think they realize how awkward it is.
It doesn't bother me one bit. I'm on the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's not like you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I expect to see my face, but people will come up.
They'll have their wife with them, and they'll come on
and go, hey, Michael Berry. Michael Berry, Okay, yeah, hey,
it's my wife. She has no idea who you are.
Where is that conversation supposed to go?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Really?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You seem fascinating.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't get to come across enough people who have
no idea who I am. This is a really special moment.
Can we take a photo? It is the weirdest thing,
all right? Ramon dead or alive? James Earl Jones, James
Earl Jones, Darth Vader coming to America, Field of Dreams
(03:58):
and the pack Bell despect Bell phone voicer died at
ninety three. How about Chris Christofferson. Chris Chris Stofferson has
passed at eighty eight, born in Brownsville, died in Maui. Moll,
(04:18):
Can I tell you something that's going to disappoint him.
Ramon's been to Maui five times. I had never been
to Mali. We were going to Japan at Christmas and
Michael t loves Hawaii, so he wanted to stop on
the way back, and we had not been to Hawaii.
Who had not been to Mali? And yeah, some people
stop at Buggies. We stopped in Mali, and we had
(04:40):
promised Michael that was part of his deal. I liked Maui,
but I can't tell you that I thought Mali was
better than Kawaii by any People go crazy over Maui.
I don't understand what makes I mean, you ether like
Hawaii or you don't. But if you like Hawaii, I
didn't see Maui being so different than the others. I don't.
(05:01):
I'm not what, No, Leonard Skinner and Arrowsmith, that's that's
that's okay. You think you're being funny, Now that's that's
not a Joe and that's not something that's funny.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Fifteen years ago, actually almost twenty years ago, I got
to interview I got to introduce Herb Keller Hair. I
was the chairman of the Aviation Committee in the city
of Houston, so it kind of oversaw the airport and
Herb Keller Hair was being honored by the National Aviation
(05:34):
Society or whatever it was, and the event was in Houston,
and forgive me, I've told the story before, so some
of you've heard it, but you know most of you haven't.
And I worshiped Herb Kella Hair. So I went to
Gordon Bethune before the interview, and I got some background
on you know them, they're both big egos and hard
chargers and tough, sturdy men, and apparently that they you know,
(05:58):
they both drove Harley's and you know they're both strong,
charismatic personalities driving their companies. And I introduced him at
this event by telling the story of what had happened
a couple of years earlier at a shareholder meeting, and
a shareholder stood up and said, mister Kellahair, you have
(06:24):
prostate cancer and you are a big part of what
our stock price is tied to because your longevity is
tied to the success of this company. Now that you
have prostate cancer and you've not stopped smoking, are you
going to stop smoking? And he said no, because I
(06:48):
don't smoke out of my ass. And I thought that
was the great the greatest story. So I told that story,
and as I did, I turned to my right and
he's sitting up on the dais at the head table,
and he's in the seat next to me. He has
fired up a cigarette in the middle of my story,
and I hadn't even noticed, and I glanced behind me
(07:10):
and there is a sign that says no smoking, but
you're not telling herb Kellor Hair not to smoke. Well.
Southwest Airlines has announced sweeping layoffs at their Dallas headquarter,
laying off seventeen hundred and fifty employees at their Dallas
headquarters for the first time in their history. Folks, change
(07:31):
is inevitable. Don't be scared of it. The days of
my dad working for forty years at DuPont are over.
Those days are gone. That's not going to happen any longer.
Chevron is reducing up to twenty percent of their global
workforce and unfortunately, a lot of that's going to come
at the top, and the top is headquartered right here
in Houston. One of the exciting things about being a
(07:51):
city that lures companies to have your headquarters in your
city is that when those companies suffer, you suffer because
you grow accustomed to the wealth that they bring to
your community.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But it's an.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Unfortunate time in the life of Southwest Airlines because that
was for years and years I had no money. You
talk about a discount carrier, they were solid. There's still
I still like to fly Southwest Airline.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I still think there's something specially about the airline. I
just I think they fell behind.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Mica Ferry Shelf.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Trashing airlines is export, and we've all had that experience.
The airline industry has gone down in terms of customer service,
and there's no doubt in my mind about that. You
walk around an airport which you're run by the municipalities
where they are either the city or the county or
sometimes it's a joint city county commission that administers those.
(08:58):
In Houston, it's all the City of Houston, and you
look at the areas where you sit and you see
that like a bench in a metro a public transport shack,
you see that they don't want you to lay down.
(09:18):
You can sit, but the bars prevent you from laying
down unless you were really talented and maybe you could
lay on top of those bars.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And so you walk along and you.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
See people, especially when you're traveling east, you end up
in airports in the middle of the night one o'clock,
two o'clock and you're catching a connecting and you walk
along you see the people who are laid out and
they look like they've been asleep there for a while.
And they're stuck in the airport for some period of time,
and some people are stuck for days. And they've made
(09:49):
certain that you can't lay down on the seats even
though there's nobody there. And you look around at every
airport as you go to board, and you say to yourself, second,
there are never enough seats. Ever, it's not that hard
if you've got if you expect that a plane can seat.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't know how many they can seat.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Let's say con seat two hundred people, whatever that number is,
you put fifty percent more because people put their stuff
in between them, and God forbid. You asked the lady, hey,
could you move all your crap because I want to
sit down? And she's got all her stuff there in
a seat. But you stand around at airports looking for
a place to sit. How hard was this? You built
(10:36):
this airport, build enough seating, and then you walk in
areas they've got the little areas where somebody's sitting on
the massage chair.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Ooh.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
They hate when you do that, not paying for the
massage chair, just using it to sit in. Why not
put more seating there. I've argued this for years and
years and years. They take no efforts to make an
airport comfortable, not even the slightest bit. And there's there's
because there's no regard for the consumer. There's no regard
(11:07):
for the passenger, there's no I'll tell you what is
a great airport In all my airport days, maybe my
favorite airport is skip Ole in UH Amsterdam. Fantastic airport.
Terrible airports the Gale Standstead, Gatwick, what's the big one
(11:29):
in UH London?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
There's two?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
What he throwed terrible John F.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Kennedy. Although I kind of like Donn F. Kennedy. John F.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Kennedy reminds me of what an airport would have been
in the sixties because they haven't updated. It's kind of
dirty and grudgey, but it's it's very it's very New York,
uh in a time that I kind of idolized New York.
So I don't I don't mind JFK, don't mind JFK.
I'll tell you it's not about airport, and it's probably
it's one of the few things Baltimore does right is
(11:59):
because for years all I could afford was Southwest Airlines
and I didn't mind. I used to say it's better
than Continental, and people to laugh, especially people that I
knew because they were all first class on Continental people.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
But I enjoyed flying Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I thought that they I love the fact that if
you miss a flight, there's another one in thirty minutes.
No matter where it's going, there's another one in thirty minutes.
We were coming back from New York one night and
he had to go to Long Island. It was islip,
I think it is, and we somehow one of the
flights didn't make or whatever else.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
We get to an airport, we're rushing.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
They let us on a flight, last two seats on there,
and they led us on a flight the last minute.
They got us back and I had to be at
work the next morning, and we made it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
And they, I mean they didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Even they didn't put it through the system that two
seats left were running through the thing. We please get
back to Houston. They pitied us, and a lot of
people in the airline business have They don't have any
pity for people anymore. They got pissed off somewhere along
the way. They got pissed off. And I will say this,
people will act like an ass on an airplane that
they want in a way. They won't act any other
(13:08):
time because their anxiety is high and they are upset
and there everybody's fighting and putting their stuff up there.
And I would like to be a person and I
think we should do this. It wouldn't take long. I
would like to be a person that has a handhelds
done gun that as people were walking on and they've
got you can tell it's too much to put in
the overhead. But you know it's too much. There's no
(13:29):
doubt it's too much. And you'd go, you think that's
going in the overhead or do you think you're going
to get back there? Fight with it for a while
while we all wait to get on the plane, and
then we're going to have to bring it back up.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Is that? What's okay?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
You want me to stun you one time now or
three times? If it doesn't go in and that's what
you're doing, it wouldn't take long as we're to get out. Hey,
you know this's done, gun you let's not bring our
this massive one. We're we're not going to bring it.
Let's just let's not do that. Southwest Airlines announces sweeping
layoffs at Dallas headquarters.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I'm not sure why.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
This makes me sad, but it does w f av.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
It has been a dark day for Southwest as the
airline announces mass layoffs for the first time in company
history and it's fifty three years in operation. Never ever
did Southwest Airlines enact a mass layoffs until now.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Nobody in headquarters. It's going to be sleeping well tonight,
if they sleep at all.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Airline expert Steve Cosgrove spent Monday night on the phone
with his friends and colleagues who work at Southwest.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
They told him they were ordered to leave headquarters at
six pm there to report back in the morning and
they would basically been told at that time whether they
have a job or not.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
The company announced it will lay off one thy, seven
hundred and fifty of its employees. That is fifteen percent
of the airline's entire corporate workforce, which means major major
impacts on the love Field headquarters.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Still is a sad moment, quite honestly.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Aviation consultant and former Southwest spokesperson Ed Stewart were called
how the airline publicly boasted for years about never laying
off its employees.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
There's always people first.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
That's why I think this is such a big shock
in the industry right now.
Speaker 7 (15:04):
According to Southwest, the move will save the company approximately
three hundred million dollars annually moving forward. Will Anderson is
the editor in chief of the Dallas business journal.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
THEO Bob Jordan has said that he wants to say,
run five hundred million dollars a year, So this gets
some part of the way there, but not all the way.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
The historic cuts come during stressful times for the airline
amid they're run in with an activist investor. Southwest is
in the midst of a board shakeup and an aggressive
effort to reduce costs.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Fifty years they've never laid off.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I think about how herb Kella Hairs started that business,
and he was a lawyer by day going to court.
Frank Lorenzo's as was trying to put them out of business.
Continental was trying to put them out of business. The
industry was trying to put them out of business. And
he would lawyer all day and then he would by
night come back and run the company. And they flew,
(15:55):
They flew Houston, Dallas, San Antono. And that was just
a little trying the same plane. It just they would
make that keep that plane in the air all day
and fight by day to stay alive. But my understanding
is that for those years of the two thousands and
the oughts, they were they were booking profits but not
investing in technology, and they fell so far behind that
(16:16):
it's it's very hard to catch up.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Probably lose a lot of respect, but it's it's my
honest opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's hard, it's hard to articulate, but I'm going to
do my best. The Beach Boys were always in the
background for me growing up.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
They're they're not a band, They're the soundtrack of life.
It's there, kind of like the Beatles. I never really
like when I think of bands, there's a band, they're
playing music, and they're not playing music. The Beach Boys
are just sort of this thing that's always on loop
wherever you are all the time. And so I never
(17:10):
really bothered to be a fan or not be a fan,
and I never did a deep dive into their music
until a few years ago. And you know, the serious
mental health problems that they're mostly lead singer until he
wasn't but lead writer had and the troubles they had
(17:30):
with his father, and you've got the brothers and you've
got everything going on, and then just stratospheric popularity. People
think of the Beatles getting off the plane and the
girls going crazy, but the Beach Boys were bigger in
the US, and pet Sounds was more influential, and the
Beatles wanted to make music like that.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I have always liked.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
This song, but the deeper I dug into this song
in the history and you know, the whole kind of
British American love affair with the Caribbean and the Caribbean
people and the seafaring cultures and all.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
It's it's fascinating to me. I love this song well.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I had been communicating with a fellow named Phil Snyder,
who was one of six people to ever for Disney
be the voice of Jiminy Cricket and Phil Snyder it's
very talented, a ranger instrumentalist, and he loves the song
Sloop John B. And he made a version as a
(18:38):
tribute to Donald Trump, which he calls the Sloop don
Te And he sent it to me and asked if
I would do him the honor of playing it, and
I said, I'm sorry, but no. However, the appeal to Ramone,
and Ramone said yes, we will in fact play it.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
Says Gante.
Speaker 6 (19:03):

That is correct.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He is sixty two and in Bobcat goldthway years. That's
ninety seven. That's a run for him. Dead or alive.
Diane Keaton from the Godfather, Father of the Bride, Diane
Keaton is alive seventy nine, Dead or alive. Adam West Batman.
(22:26):
That's a tough one, right, Nope, he's dead at eighty eight.
Gary Coleman from Different Strokes. Gary Coleman is dead forty
two or or feet eight inch star whatever you prefer. Yeah,
I'll hold the others for you for now.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's plenty for you for right now.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Nelson Haregrove writes, my father in law was at a restaurant.
Manager came over to the table, pumped the meal for
the entire table and said, big fan of yours, mister Walkin.
Falla law didn't say anything because he didn't want to
embarrass the guy. That's a good story that your father
in law was mistaken for Christopher Walkin.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
But let's make no mistakes here. He didn't fail to correct.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The man because he didn't want to embarrass the guy.
He failed to correct the man because he didn't want
to have to pay the bill. I mean, if a
guy comps your meal, you know, there's a great story.
I'm going to do the entire story at some point.
The Rich Carleton has a policy that any employee has
(23:39):
the authority, any employee, the lady that changes the sheets
to comp up to two thousand dollars in a day
to solve a problem. And they figured out that a
rich Carlton employee is on average worth to them I
think one hundred and ninety seven thousand dollars because Rich
Carlton customers are loyal. Rich Carlton is something you stay
(24:00):
at one time, you know, Maywell, Marriott or.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Rich carl It's expensive. And so there are stories. I'm
going to do a podcast on this. I've been reading
about this.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
There are stories where a kid, you know, where an
item is left in Atlanta and the people are in Hawaii,
and a staffer hopped on a plane and flew there
and flew back to keep the item from being lost
in the It's incredible, it's in incredible the authority you
give an employee, and what a difference it makes to
customers shows nice.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Don't call them a fat pick Dorf saying this straight up,
saying this and his version of suspicious minds the only
Elvis cover.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I will about it, but I will about it.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Expectation is that today the Senate will move to advance
Cash Patel for FBI Director and outright confirm Howard Lutnick
for Commerce. Advancing Cash Pattel requires a vote on cloture,
which will allow Senate Majority Leader Thoon to close debate.
(25:13):
Cloture means ending the filibuster. All right, guys, we're gonna
have a vote if you have enough for cloture, which
is the closure of debate c l O t U
r E. If you have enough for cloture unless someone
votes for cloture and then votes against it, and that
can happen, but in this case won't.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Then he will pass.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Fifty two forty eight is my expectation, because Mitch McConnell
will vote against him. You got to figure Cash Patel
must have never had sex in his life or even
been in the presence of a woman, because what they
do very effectively is the Brett Kavanaugh attack. They claim
they were a rapist, a drunk rapist. They did it
(25:57):
to Clarence Thomas, they did it to Brett Kevanaugh. They
did it, of course recently to Pete Hegseth. And that's
how they peel off Lisa Rakowski and Susan Collins because
girl power got all sticked together, because we have the
same reproductive organs.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
And so.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
They haven't hit him with that. In fact, you got
to figure Cash Ptel is pretty christine if they haven't
been able to dredge up anything on him, because Adam

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
