Speaker 1 (02:46):
Ramona is trying to get missus Patterson at the Couhardo
Elementary Principle on the phone, and I'm watching him through
the glass, and it's so funny how we go into
different modes when we're talking different people. And since he's
talking to the principal's office of the elementary from the
region he's in, he's like a respectful little kid. He's
(03:09):
not like big bully Ramone. He's like little kid, you know,
being very respectful. You know, missus this and missus dad.
If she has a PhD. He might even call her doctor.
And we don't call anybody doctor unless they can write
us a prescription. Ever, as a matter of principle, we
don't do I can't call up, can I take Jeremy Okay,
(03:32):
I guys, see what he's doing. I'll just tell you
a real quick story. Are you still on with them?
Is she coming on the line with Oh, you're talking Leslie?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Who?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Leslie? Who he's talking to? Leslie's arraign who works at
the high school, who he went to high school with. Well,
this is all very interesting. This is like me talking
to people from the Golden Triangle, even though I'm not
in the Gulf Coast Hall of Fame Museum. For some reason,
(04:05):
I'll never understand that. Huh, she's gonna bust into the meeting. Okay,
so y'all hang tight, we might have missus Patterson here. Oh,
can we have one more on real quick, Jeremy, or
do you think you were going to have her at
any minute? Okay, put Jeremy on real quick, Jeremy. You're
on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I just wanted to call and brag on my son, Preston.
He's fifteen, a sophomore at Braslewood High School in Lake Jackson.
He was sent to the principal's office. I got a
call from them by one of his teachers named Missus
dry And for always being the most polite, respectful and
helpful student in her class.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Missus dry. Yes, how do you spell that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Dry? The traditional spelling of dry Well.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Don't get with me. It could be drye, it could
be d r I g h. It could be dr ai.
It can be a lot of things. It's a last name,
you don't know. I mean, the truth is, the fact
is it's probably something very different. At Ellis Island, they
just said, you're dry. Okay, what what's his name? I
can't read it. You're dry. Your last name is now dry.
(05:21):
I love that. I love everything about that. So here's
what's here's what's amazing how these things line up. So
we went to break on that first call at eight
forty two. Right at eight forty two fifty five, that's
that's when our clock we have to be out for
(05:41):
the break because then it automates for the for the
commercial break at eight forty am exactly. I had received
an email, but I hadn't read it because I was
in the middle of talking about that very moving story
about the kid being sent Jase being sent to Ms
Patterson at Guhardo Elementary for good behavior. So I go
(06:03):
to my emails and my first email is from a
teacher that says mister and missus Barry. The subject line
was Crockett progress in physics. Mister and missus Barry. I
just want to write you a quick note to let
you know that Crockett has been making great progress in
(06:25):
physics this week. He's been to office hours several times
to practice problems and discuss his lab reports. We also
realized that a technical issue had prevented me from seeing
the final version of one of his lab reports. He
discovered it. I have now updated his grade on that report,
(06:47):
which improved his average by five points and made it
an A. I think he's going to do very well
on next Monday's test. He is developing a great understanding
of the word problems that we have been covering recently.
His most recent homework quiz was fantastic, which we're proud of.
(07:08):
I'm happy to see all of this in his performance,
and I hope, I truly hope that Crockett continues the
good habits he has been demonstrating. How about that just
out of nowhere, so I said, I just finished. I've
never met this lady. I just finished two minutes ago
(07:30):
talking about a kid who was sent to the principal
at Guhardo Elementary in Texas City for good behavior. I
was discussing how being positive when a kid does well
is more important than even than criticizing when they fall short,
which also must be done. And while I you've made
my day, ma'am with this, now that he's improved, not
(07:53):
that he has improved, we know that that you took
the time to share it with us, So thank you. Yeah,
what it is hard to being my son? It actually
is hard because here's the thing, and I've told my
kids from the beginning, there's a movie that comes out
next Sunday that we're all three in. So there's the
(08:15):
movie premiere. You're going to be there next to Lee Majors.
You're in a movie with Lee Majors, which they don't
appreciate yet, but they'll appreciate years from now. You know,
you're gonna get to meet some cool people. You need
to go some cool places. But guess what. So that's
the thing that you get that some other kid doesn't get.
But guess what else? So Crockett went to the shoe
(08:38):
store he needed new soccer shoes, and I get an
email through the website. I just waited on your son
buy soccer shoes. He was extraordinarily polite, and I knew
you'd like to know. I'm a listener. Blah blah blah.
I do you act up? And we're got to hear
about that too. Can you get miss patt what kind
of you? Don't any stroke for heart of a King?
And this other guy Michael to the phone lines we go.
(09:07):
We still don't have Ramone has so slipped back into
eight year old Ramon. He is now referring to her
as Principal Patterson. He's sitting up a little straighter. We're
talking to the big wigs. He doesn't sit up that straight.
(09:27):
When Trump's called the show, he was very, very straight,
very straight. I don't know if I ever told y'all.
I think I did. But people are always coming and
going through the show. So we had an interview schedule
for with Trump. This was years ago, this was twenty sixteen,
and we've been hitting him pretty hard, and he had
(09:50):
asked to be on the show through mutual friends. Interestingly,
I had somebody who had been my who had run
my pr who was working for him got to know
Hughes and so he was sending messages to me through her,
and he was having a big event in Beaumont. Was
(10:13):
gonna be at Ford Arena or Ford I guess I
think it's called Ford Arena. They're in Beaumont's on I
ten and they wanted a musical act and they had
a good budget for it. And I said, oh, Tracy Bird.
And in fact, I'll call Tracy right now and put
y'all in touch. And Tracy killed it. Tracy got to
be good buddies with Trump. In fact, within a month,
(10:36):
Tracy's wife Michelle is kicking me in the nuts constantly
online because I'm beating up on Trump and not loving
Trump enough. And Tracy and I didn't talk for like
three months. I was so mad about it, Like, wait
a minute, I'm the one that put you and Michelle
in touch with Trump, and now you're breaking my over
(10:58):
not supporting Trump anyway. So Trump wants to be on
It's still in the primary now, mind you. To his credit,
I'm some of you. Remember I'm hitting Trump hard. I
did not believe Trump would turn out to be who
he was. I had studied Trump his entire career. I
thought Trump Trump had been a Democrat. He'd been donating
to democrats. I didn't want another Democrat in there, and
(11:21):
so I said that, and some of you never forgave
me for that, and some of you still me reminding
you makes you mad. I'm not gonna deny it. I
think they don't think you could trust me if I did.
I'm aware of what happened. So anyway Trump calls up
to be on the show or he's they send a message.
Scotty now says, hey, uh, mister Trump, because he hasn't
(11:42):
present yet, mister Trump wants to be on the show.
I said, Scotty, Now, I'm punching him in the gut
every day and promoting Ted Cruz. I'm not going to
have him. That's dishonest. Don't If I have him on,
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to hit him. And she said,
he knows. I said, I want to make sure he
understands we got Trunk and Tom to make fun of
the people who worship him. We got this, We've got this.
(12:05):
She said, Michael, he knows he still wants to come on. Yeah, okay,
so you're gonna be mad at me because I'm gonna
yell at him. Oh there's a four O nine called
in four O nine that's probably Principal Patterson. So he
calls in. So the you know, the call is to
occur at say, nine o'clock. What oh, Principal passion. Okay,
(12:28):
let me finish the story real quick. So so oh, he said,
I can't finish the story. I'll finish the story in
a minute. We have Principal Patterson on the line. Principal Patterson. Hello,
Principal Patterson. Yeah, oh my goodness, what an honor.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Now I'm the one that's honored.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Well, that's how I would normally think, but Ramona said,
I have to be very respectful. Okay, okay, so I
have I have to ask you a question. First things.
First reason I wanted to talk to you. I got
a call from a woman and she said her son,
a second grader named Jace, was sent to the principal's
office for good behavior. And we thought that was the
(13:15):
coolest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yes, our students have the opportunity to have positive office
referrals because I don't wanted to see kids only for
them making bad choices, but I want to celebrate our
kids here making wonderful positive choices.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Because so what happens. Let's take Jason's case. Oh, wait,
we got hippo requirements, you know, scorn to secrecy, attorney
client privilege, principal patient privilege. So what happens in the case,
you don't have to tell jas exactly. But so a
little snotty nosed, sweaty kid comes in with dirty hands
and he comes marching in and I guess he's got
a note and the box has been checked good behavior,
(13:54):
So take it from there.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
What happens, correct? And then from what that happened is
they get a little treat from myself, I make a
big deal about it, and then I also tell everyone
else in the office about the good deeds that that
child is done. And then we make that positive phone
call home to the parent. And a lot of parents
when they were our first call and I say, oh,
(14:16):
I've got him in the office, They're like, oh no,
what did they do? And I said, no, we're making
positive referrals. And so once I explained to the parent
what a great job that that child did and how
good they're doing, then parents are very pleasantly surprised and
happy that I do make those positive phone calls.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So how many of those happened per week?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Well, it just depends on the week because I do
rely on my staff to fill out the forms that
I do send out, so you know, it could be
two or three times a week, or it could even
be more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Okay, So when the kid comes in, is there like
a seat across from you, like when mister Gentry would
give me licks. I knew the seat I was going
to sit in. I knew where I was going to
have to stand. I knew where he is going to
pull the paddle from. I was a great student academically,
but I got when I'm fifty three. So I came
out of high school in eighty nine at I don't
know what the rule is then, and you're in elementary,
(15:11):
but back in those days, the school can only give
you six licks per day. So I knew if I
got my sixth lip before sixth period, I was good
to go, which I was kind of an anomaly because
usually either you're a nerd or you're a social problem,
and I was both. But anyway, so when they when
(15:31):
they sit in, do you does somebody else come in
to witness this or what's the protocol?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Usually I do have the student sit in my office
while we do make the phone call on the phone
on the speaker phone, so then the student can listen
to their reaction of their parent, and then their parents
can also have that conversation about how proud they are
then for doing their good deed.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That gives me choked up thinking about that is so
my line was that I think a lot of people
in public education because it's such a distraction that the
kids are causing problems and you know, just a handful
of kids that that people forget why they got into
public Can you hold with.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Me for just a moment, absolutely well?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Can you doing? It took so long to get on
a line with that, because that's kind of like, here's
my ego, that's Principal Patterson to use at Buharto Elementary.
Principal Patterson, Yes, sir, you said the kid gets a treat.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Yes, sir, I do have a treasure box in my
office filled with just all kinds of toys and goodies,
and so they get to choose what they would like
out of that treasure box.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Are you in your office right now?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I am not in my office right now. I'm actually
in the district office right now. I'd like to off campus.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'd like to know what's in that treasure box. Could
you just give us an specific examples including brand names.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Absolutely, absolutely, I've got bubbles, we have balls, we have legos,
we have little plushies. Those kind of items are in
the treasure box.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
But what happens, because I know myself in second grade,
if the kid chooses a ball like a rubber ball.
If I got a rubber ball in second grade, I'm
not it's the ball is moving around, I'm bouncing and
I'm throwing against the wall. What happens if this happens
in first period that I get the treasure box, you know,
(17:45):
and then by fourth period I'm back because I threw
the ball down the hallway too many times? Has that
ever happened?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Well? And I do, yes, I do try to prevent
those things from happening because I do explain to the
kids that hey, they need to keep that nice and
safe and as soon as they get into the classroom
they need to put in their backpacks that way they
don't lose it. So we haven't had that problem in Guahardo.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
What do you enjoy most about being a principle and
don't do virtue signaling? Like really, like if you get
free donuts every morning, you can say that.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
No, that is not true. I think it's just being
a positive role model for our students and showing them
kindness and seeing them grow academically, socially and behaviorally.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, that's a good public answer. But like, do you
have a super awesome computer or do you get your
own parking spot? I mean, tell me something that you
really enjoy.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Oh goodness. I usually don't think about myself. I usually
think of others first. That I guess my big screen
computer screen would be my I guess top item in
my office, though, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Tell me something that you How many years have you
been a principal.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
This will be my ninth year as a principal.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Tell me something you know now about dealing with elementary
school kids that you did not know when you started,
and it took eight years of being a principal to learn.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
That's a tricky question. I really truly believe that every
student you can reach them, no matter what. They all
do come from different backgrounds and stuff, and I think
just building relationships with kids is the key to everything.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
How do you build a relationship with a kid?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I think just by you know, every morning and even
in the afternoon. I'm in the front of the building,
greeting students, calling them by their name. I tried to
do learn five hundred fifty students name. That is kind
of difficult, but I do try to do that. A
lot of times. They'll stop, they'll have conversations with me,
tell him about maybe a baseball game or something that's
(20:10):
happening at home. So when I see him the next time,
I do just kind of bring that up and ask him, Hey,
how is your name the other day?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Or I heard you had a.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
New base sister. Just having those conversations to show that
you really care about them.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Well, I use mnemonic Learning people's names and remembering them
is important, so I use little mnemonic devices, like if
a guy's name Freddy, in my mind, I'll call him
fat Freddy, but I just leave the fat out. So
do you You're like, oh, there's booger Bobby and snotty Susie.
Do you do that?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Well, unfortunately, I do not do that. But what I
do do is, you know, once I do learn their name,
I do use it, and it's and it's like three
times in the first.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Time, I'm good Trick Very Andrew Cardy.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
That way, it just kind of sticks in my head.
So next time I see him, I do remember.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
If I had asked Wendy Patterson, Principal Patterson, when you
were eighteen years old, what you would be doing? How
old are you?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Well, I am fifty five old.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You have to answer if it's on the radio. It's
like FCC rules. I don't make the rust.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
If I were to ask you when you were eighteen
what you would be doing when you were fifty five,
what would you have answered at that time?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Well, I knew it was going to be working with
kids and helping out others. That is my passion.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
If you were to give and I would don't give
me some BS virtue signaling high mind admission statement answer
once you give hardcore like parents, is what y'all need
to do? You know that a lot of kids are
failing a lot of parents are failing their kid or
are underserving their kid to succeed in school and in life.
(21:50):
What's one tough lesson you would say? Hey, look, parents,
this is what you need to be doing for your
kids or not doing that you're doing? Now? Want you
to say something edgy rope.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You're trying, aren't you? Well? I do know that some
of our parents do struggle, and so I think just
trying to find time to sit down and listen to
their child, listen to their concerns, listen to what's going
on good. I think that's something that's really important because
sometimes some of our parents have two and three jobs
and they're busy just trying to make the ends meet
(22:25):
and put food on the table. So I think just
giving them that, you know, you need to spend some
extra time and just try to make that connection with
their child.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
What percentage of kids are coming to school over sugared?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I would say probably one hundred percent today.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What's what's a good bit of advice, A simple thing?
What percentage of kids are coming to school dehydrated?
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Well, actually, since COVID, we do allow our students to
you know, take water bottles and bring water bottles from
home and then the closest we have bosses you know,
water fountains and stuff at school. So I would hope
that we don't have any dehydrated students.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
My wife thinks every American is dehydrated all the time. Justush, Well,
I want to say this, Principal Patterson, I love, love,
love that you do that for those kids. I absolutely
love it. I think it's fantastic. I think it's wonderful.
(23:34):
It gives me hope. That's that's why you got into
public education, is to help these children soar and I
do believe that makes a huge difference. And I'm glad
you're focusing on the good. You do have to correct
bad behaviors, but I'm glad you're focusing on the good.
And thanks for taking our call an element. You always feel,
(23:55):
like Michael Berry Show. Last year I had the owner
(24:19):
of getting a cameo in a movie by Sean Welling,
and it's a Lee Major's film and there's some Hollywood
stars in it, and it's taken longer in production than
I had hoped, but there's a lot of us, there's
a lot of sci fi elements, and so that takes
a long time to build. And that's all done in Hollywood,
(24:39):
so Sean's having to fly back and forth to Hollywood
to approve everything and all this. But the highlight for me,
because Ramon, as you know, I've been in ten films
not to practice, was that my boys are in the film.
And in fact, Michael t studies film at ut and
so this is the first film that all three of
us are in, and the premiere is next Sunday, And
(25:07):
I just realized that it's next Sunday because November tenth
is my birthday, but much more importantly, it is Crockett's
homecoming day, and so we celebrate our boys' homecoming day.
Some people call that a gotcha day if you have
adopted kids. Some people refer to that as a gotcha day,
a second birthday. We call it their homecoming day, so
we get a big mom just kidding. So to celebrate
(25:31):
this year, he and I are going to the Texans
game and we're really looking forward to our little father
son bonding moments. My birthday, more importantly, his homecoming day.
So I won't get to be at the movie premiere
of Sean Willings's newest film, That's a Bummer. You can
(25:52):
you play a clip from the movie? Sure, go ahead, sir.
I know you're going to do it. You know what
people do because I did this in elementary school. So
I was little bitty. I was tiny in school, little bitty,
and so what I would do is pick on the
big kids for being big. That's like the chihuahua that
(26:15):
runs up and barks up at the big dog because
he's so scared that big dogs is going to gobble
him up. And you will watch if you've ever owned
a chihuahua, the very aggressive dogs. If you watch, Chihuahua's
will run up on a bull Mastiff, they'll run up
on a Doberman, and nine times out of ten, those
big dogs will do nothing, or they'll turn and walk
(26:36):
off because they're kind of spooked. Like this guy. He
must have he must have some karate training or something.
He must be a bad mamma, jamma, because look at
what he's doing. Okay. So Eddie Martini wore me out
during the break and I thought, if the Big Boss
is calling, something's wrong. And he said, you better not
leave people with the impression that you were hard on
(26:59):
Trump during that interview, because if you remember, you were
a and it starts with a P about it. And
I made fun of you because because he was a
Trump guy, because you were beating up on Trump, and
then you had him on and you were just as
respectful and polite and everything else, which is true. I
(27:23):
did not want to give you all the impression if
you weren't listening back then, I didn't have him on
and beat him up. I would have it, but I'm
gonna tell you what happened. Two things, the most important
of which that I didn't get to finish was we're
all cued up for him to call, well, for his
people to call. The way this works is they call
the number, we pick up. We've got a dedicated line
(27:46):
for such things. For a big call like that, Chad
will come in because Ramon's running the board, so that
Chad can handle that phone call and give it proper,
you know, get him on the right line, check all
the levels, make sure everything is fine. So the phone rings,
and it's a funny number, and so it's got to
be you know, Donald Trump's people. He's not President Trump
(28:08):
at that point. This was This was February twenty sixteen.
And so the way that call is supposed to go
is is this Michael Berry or you know we Chad
would answer Michael Berry Show and they would say Hi.
This is often they don't even give their name. They say,
I'm calling for mister Trump, and we have an interview
schedule with y'all. Holland's interview going to be blah blah blah.
(28:30):
And you know, when I see that call, they'll they'll
they'll flag me so I don't start into a long
audio file or whatever else. And the point is for me,
we'll we'll do the motion like, uh, you know, when
the coach tells the quarterback to keep running the clock,
they'll do a motion like just just string this out
a little bit so that when we're ready you can
(28:51):
go to him, you know, don't start into another conversation
or then it'll you'll have to jump around. But I
don't care. Our show's disjointed anyway. We just do what
we want to do. So there's supposed to be a
couple of minutes there where as a power play, you know,
he goes and peas while while the person calls in,
and then you know you're left hole, you're left waiting
(29:12):
on them to come on. Well, I do the reverse
power play. Is we Their person that called in talks
to our person, which is our executive producer, Chad, and
then we they say is he ready to go on?
And we say yes, And so I can see when
they lock the phone line down, and then Chad will
give me a thumbs up, which means the guest himself
(29:34):
is on there. Because they like to make this big
song and dance of you know, you've got to wait
for them and all that. So what I do to
be an ass to show who's in charge here is
once that person is on, then I talked for a
while and Ramon will put his head in his hands
because he realizes, oh good, Michael's going to be a
jackass about this. But I'm letting them know, right. So
(29:55):
what happens is the call comes in, so I've got
usual two to five minutes, because the person, even if
they're just sitting there having a conversation, they'll sit there
and have a conversation while our person is waiting on
them to be on the line. But when Trump called,
the only other time this has ever happened was Ron Paul,
(30:20):
who I worship, I adore Ron Paul. Ron Paul is
up there with Thomas Soul for me phone rings ring ring,
dedicated line. Chad's in here waiting. Chad works out of
a studio to two offices down so for him to
come in, but we were in the old studio, so
he would have been actually would have been across the building,
(30:40):
so he'd have had to come on. So Chad comes
in on a situation like that, you know, it's all
hands on deck, right, we got we gotta put our
best foot forward. So Chad's in there, phone rings, Chad
picks it up, and so it's going to be a
few minutes, and Chad's eyes bug out. It says, uh,
this is Donald Trump. And Chad goes, he's pointing to phone.
(31:03):
It's him, it's him. Well, dude, if you're gonna call yourself,
I'm not gonna leave you on hold. So it went
from this is Donald Trump. So he's like, it's him.
But the conversations going on for like ninety seconds, so
I'm thinking he's backing out. He heard that I beat
up on him. He's chicking it out. There's no way.
He's just sitting there talking to Chad. He's just sitting
(31:23):
there talking to Chad. So by the time he got on,
how can I not love the guy? Now? Do not
take from this story? See Michael, see you were wrong
take from this story. Well, Michael, that's very big of
you to tell that story. You're the czar and you're awesome. Yeah,
that's why I told that story. But that made me
(31:44):
love Trump.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air. I like to
think of Jesus like with John Eagle's wings and singing
lead vocals for Leonyard Skynyrd with like an angel band.
(00:24):
And I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk.
I just swapped to set rate another delvent. I just

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Ramona is trying to get missus Patterson at the Couhardo
Elementary Principle on the phone, and I'm watching him through
the glass, and it's so funny how we go into
different modes when we're talking different people. And since he's
talking to the principal's office of the elementary from the
region he's in, he's like a respectful little kid. He's
(03:09):
not like big bully Ramone. He's like little kid, you know,
being very respectful. You know, missus this and missus dad.
If she has a PhD. He might even call her doctor.
And we don't call anybody doctor unless they can write
us a prescription. Ever, as a matter of principle, we
don't do I can't call up, can I take Jeremy Okay,
(03:32):
I guys, see what he's doing. I'll just tell you
a real quick story. Are you still on with them?
Is she coming on the line with Oh, you're talking Leslie?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Who?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Leslie? Who he's talking to? Leslie's arraign who works at
the high school, who he went to high school with. Well,
this is all very interesting. This is like me talking
to people from the Golden Triangle, even though I'm not
in the Gulf Coast Hall of Fame Museum. For some reason,
(04:05):
I'll never understand that. Huh, she's gonna bust into the meeting. Okay,
so y'all hang tight, we might have missus Patterson here. Oh,
can we have one more on real quick, Jeremy, or
do you think you were going to have her at
any minute? Okay, put Jeremy on real quick, Jeremy. You're
on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I just wanted to call and brag on my son, Preston.
He's fifteen, a sophomore at Braslewood High School in Lake Jackson.
He was sent to the principal's office. I got a
call from them by one of his teachers named Missus
dry And for always being the most polite, respectful and
helpful student in her class.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Missus dry. Yes, how do you spell that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Dry? The traditional spelling of dry Well.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Don't get with me. It could be drye, it could
be d r I g h. It could be dr ai.
It can be a lot of things. It's a last name,
you don't know. I mean, the truth is, the fact
is it's probably something very different. At Ellis Island, they
just said, you're dry. Okay, what what's his name? I
can't read it. You're dry. Your last name is now dry.
(05:21):
I love that. I love everything about that. So here's
what's here's what's amazing how these things line up. So
we went to break on that first call at eight
forty two. Right at eight forty two fifty five, that's
that's when our clock we have to be out for
(05:41):
the break because then it automates for the for the
commercial break at eight forty am exactly. I had received
an email, but I hadn't read it because I was
in the middle of talking about that very moving story
about the kid being sent Jase being sent to Ms
Patterson at Guhardo Elementary for good behavior. So I go
(06:03):
to my emails and my first email is from a
teacher that says mister and missus Barry. The subject line
was Crockett progress in physics. Mister and missus Barry. I
just want to write you a quick note to let
you know that Crockett has been making great progress in
(06:25):
physics this week. He's been to office hours several times
to practice problems and discuss his lab reports. We also
realized that a technical issue had prevented me from seeing
the final version of one of his lab reports. He
discovered it. I have now updated his grade on that report,
(06:47):
which improved his average by five points and made it
an A. I think he's going to do very well
on next Monday's test. He is developing a great understanding
of the word problems that we have been covering recently.
His most recent homework quiz was fantastic, which we're proud of.
(07:08):
I'm happy to see all of this in his performance,
and I hope, I truly hope that Crockett continues the
good habits he has been demonstrating. How about that just
out of nowhere, so I said, I just finished. I've
never met this lady. I just finished two minutes ago
(07:30):
talking about a kid who was sent to the principal
at Guhardo Elementary in Texas City for good behavior. I
was discussing how being positive when a kid does well
is more important than even than criticizing when they fall short,
which also must be done. And while I you've made
my day, ma'am with this, now that he's improved, not
(07:53):
that he has improved, we know that that you took
the time to share it with us, So thank you. Yeah,
what it is hard to being my son? It actually
is hard because here's the thing, and I've told my
kids from the beginning, there's a movie that comes out
next Sunday that we're all three in. So there's the
(08:15):
movie premiere. You're going to be there next to Lee Majors.
You're in a movie with Lee Majors, which they don't
appreciate yet, but they'll appreciate years from now. You know,
you're gonna get to meet some cool people. You need
to go some cool places. But guess what. So that's
the thing that you get that some other kid doesn't get.
But guess what else? So Crockett went to the shoe
(08:38):
store he needed new soccer shoes, and I get an
email through the website. I just waited on your son
buy soccer shoes. He was extraordinarily polite, and I knew
you'd like to know. I'm a listener. Blah blah blah.
I do you act up? And we're got to hear
about that too. Can you get miss patt what kind
of you? Don't any stroke for heart of a King?
And this other guy Michael to the phone lines we go.
(09:07):
We still don't have Ramone has so slipped back into
eight year old Ramon. He is now referring to her
as Principal Patterson. He's sitting up a little straighter. We're
talking to the big wigs. He doesn't sit up that straight.
(09:27):
When Trump's called the show, he was very, very straight,
very straight. I don't know if I ever told y'all.
I think I did. But people are always coming and
going through the show. So we had an interview schedule
for with Trump. This was years ago, this was twenty sixteen,
and we've been hitting him pretty hard, and he had
(09:50):
asked to be on the show through mutual friends. Interestingly,
I had somebody who had been my who had run
my pr who was working for him got to know
Hughes and so he was sending messages to me through her,
and he was having a big event in Beaumont. Was
(10:13):
gonna be at Ford Arena or Ford I guess I
think it's called Ford Arena. They're in Beaumont's on I
ten and they wanted a musical act and they had
a good budget for it. And I said, oh, Tracy Bird.
And in fact, I'll call Tracy right now and put
y'all in touch. And Tracy killed it. Tracy got to
be good buddies with Trump. In fact, within a month,
(10:36):
Tracy's wife Michelle is kicking me in the nuts constantly
online because I'm beating up on Trump and not loving
Trump enough. And Tracy and I didn't talk for like
three months. I was so mad about it, Like, wait
a minute, I'm the one that put you and Michelle
in touch with Trump, and now you're breaking my over
(10:58):
not supporting Trump anyway. So Trump wants to be on
It's still in the primary now, mind you. To his credit,
I'm some of you. Remember I'm hitting Trump hard. I
did not believe Trump would turn out to be who
he was. I had studied Trump his entire career. I
thought Trump Trump had been a Democrat. He'd been donating
to democrats. I didn't want another Democrat in there, and
(11:21):
so I said that, and some of you never forgave
me for that, and some of you still me reminding
you makes you mad. I'm not gonna deny it. I
think they don't think you could trust me if I did.
I'm aware of what happened. So anyway Trump calls up
to be on the show or he's they send a message.
Scotty now says, hey, uh, mister Trump, because he hasn't
(11:42):
present yet, mister Trump wants to be on the show.
I said, Scotty, Now, I'm punching him in the gut
every day and promoting Ted Cruz. I'm not going to
have him. That's dishonest. Don't If I have him on,
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to hit him. And she said,
he knows. I said, I want to make sure he
understands we got Trunk and Tom to make fun of
the people who worship him. We got this, We've got this.
(12:05):
She said, Michael, he knows he still wants to come on. Yeah, okay,
so you're gonna be mad at me because I'm gonna
yell at him. Oh there's a four O nine called
in four O nine that's probably Principal Patterson. So he
calls in. So the you know, the call is to
occur at say, nine o'clock. What oh, Principal passion. Okay,
(12:28):
let me finish the story real quick. So so oh, he said,
I can't finish the story. I'll finish the story in
a minute. We have Principal Patterson on the line. Principal Patterson. Hello,
Principal Patterson. Yeah, oh my goodness, what an honor.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Now I'm the one that's honored.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Well, that's how I would normally think, but Ramona said,
I have to be very respectful. Okay, okay, so I
have I have to ask you a question. First things.
First reason I wanted to talk to you. I got
a call from a woman and she said her son,
a second grader named Jace, was sent to the principal's
office for good behavior. And we thought that was the
(13:15):
coolest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yes, our students have the opportunity to have positive office
referrals because I don't wanted to see kids only for
them making bad choices, but I want to celebrate our
kids here making wonderful positive choices.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Because so what happens. Let's take Jason's case. Oh, wait,
we got hippo requirements, you know, scorn to secrecy, attorney
client privilege, principal patient privilege. So what happens in the case,
you don't have to tell jas exactly. But so a
little snotty nosed, sweaty kid comes in with dirty hands
and he comes marching in and I guess he's got
a note and the box has been checked good behavior,
(13:54):
So take it from there.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
What happens, correct? And then from what that happened is
they get a little treat from myself, I make a
big deal about it, and then I also tell everyone
else in the office about the good deeds that that
child is done. And then we make that positive phone
call home to the parent. And a lot of parents
when they were our first call and I say, oh,
(14:16):
I've got him in the office, They're like, oh no,
what did they do? And I said, no, we're making
positive referrals. And so once I explained to the parent
what a great job that that child did and how
good they're doing, then parents are very pleasantly surprised and
happy that I do make those positive phone calls.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So how many of those happened per week?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Well, it just depends on the week because I do
rely on my staff to fill out the forms that
I do send out, so you know, it could be
two or three times a week, or it could even
be more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Okay, So when the kid comes in, is there like
a seat across from you, like when mister Gentry would
give me licks. I knew the seat I was going
to sit in. I knew where I was going to
have to stand. I knew where he is going to
pull the paddle from. I was a great student academically,
but I got when I'm fifty three. So I came
out of high school in eighty nine at I don't
know what the rule is then, and you're in elementary,
(15:11):
but back in those days, the school can only give
you six licks per day. So I knew if I
got my sixth lip before sixth period, I was good
to go, which I was kind of an anomaly because
usually either you're a nerd or you're a social problem,
and I was both. But anyway, so when they when
(15:31):
they sit in, do you does somebody else come in
to witness this or what's the protocol?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Usually I do have the student sit in my office
while we do make the phone call on the phone
on the speaker phone, so then the student can listen
to their reaction of their parent, and then their parents
can also have that conversation about how proud they are
then for doing their good deed.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That gives me choked up thinking about that is so
my line was that I think a lot of people
in public education because it's such a distraction that the
kids are causing problems and you know, just a handful
of kids that that people forget why they got into
public Can you hold with.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Me for just a moment, absolutely well?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Can you doing? It took so long to get on
a line with that, because that's kind of like, here's
my ego, that's Principal Patterson to use at Buharto Elementary.
Principal Patterson, Yes, sir, you said the kid gets a treat.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Yes, sir, I do have a treasure box in my
office filled with just all kinds of toys and goodies,
and so they get to choose what they would like
out of that treasure box.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Are you in your office right now?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I am not in my office right now. I'm actually
in the district office right now. I'd like to off campus.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'd like to know what's in that treasure box. Could
you just give us an specific examples including brand names.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Absolutely, absolutely, I've got bubbles, we have balls, we have legos,
we have little plushies. Those kind of items are in
the treasure box.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
But what happens, because I know myself in second grade,
if the kid chooses a ball like a rubber ball.
If I got a rubber ball in second grade, I'm
not it's the ball is moving around, I'm bouncing and
I'm throwing against the wall. What happens if this happens
in first period that I get the treasure box, you know,
(17:45):
and then by fourth period I'm back because I threw
the ball down the hallway too many times? Has that
ever happened?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Well? And I do, yes, I do try to prevent
those things from happening because I do explain to the
kids that hey, they need to keep that nice and
safe and as soon as they get into the classroom
they need to put in their backpacks that way they
don't lose it. So we haven't had that problem in Guahardo.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
What do you enjoy most about being a principle and
don't do virtue signaling? Like really, like if you get
free donuts every morning, you can say that.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
No, that is not true. I think it's just being
a positive role model for our students and showing them
kindness and seeing them grow academically, socially and behaviorally.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, that's a good public answer. But like, do you
have a super awesome computer or do you get your
own parking spot? I mean, tell me something that you
really enjoy.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Oh goodness. I usually don't think about myself. I usually
think of others first. That I guess my big screen
computer screen would be my I guess top item in
my office, though, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Tell me something that you How many years have you
been a principal.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
This will be my ninth year as a principal.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Tell me something you know now about dealing with elementary
school kids that you did not know when you started,
and it took eight years of being a principal to learn.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
That's a tricky question. I really truly believe that every
student you can reach them, no matter what. They all
do come from different backgrounds and stuff, and I think
just building relationships with kids is the key to everything.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
How do you build a relationship with a kid?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I think just by you know, every morning and even
in the afternoon. I'm in the front of the building,
greeting students, calling them by their name. I tried to
do learn five hundred fifty students name. That is kind
of difficult, but I do try to do that. A
lot of times. They'll stop, they'll have conversations with me,
tell him about maybe a baseball game or something that's
(20:10):
happening at home. So when I see him the next time,
I do just kind of bring that up and ask him, Hey,
how is your name the other day?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Or I heard you had a.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
New base sister. Just having those conversations to show that
you really care about them.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Well, I use mnemonic Learning people's names and remembering them
is important, so I use little mnemonic devices, like if
a guy's name Freddy, in my mind, I'll call him
fat Freddy, but I just leave the fat out. So
do you You're like, oh, there's booger Bobby and snotty Susie.
Do you do that?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Well, unfortunately, I do not do that. But what I
do do is, you know, once I do learn their name,
I do use it, and it's and it's like three
times in the first.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Time, I'm good Trick Very Andrew Cardy.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
That way, it just kind of sticks in my head.
So next time I see him, I do remember.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
If I had asked Wendy Patterson, Principal Patterson, when you
were eighteen years old, what you would be doing? How
old are you?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Well, I am fifty five old.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
You have to answer if it's on the radio. It's
like FCC rules. I don't make the rust.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
If I were to ask you when you were eighteen
what you would be doing when you were fifty five,
what would you have answered at that time?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Well, I knew it was going to be working with
kids and helping out others. That is my passion.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
If you were to give and I would don't give
me some BS virtue signaling high mind admission statement answer
once you give hardcore like parents, is what y'all need
to do? You know that a lot of kids are
failing a lot of parents are failing their kid or
are underserving their kid to succeed in school and in life.
(21:50):
What's one tough lesson you would say? Hey, look, parents,
this is what you need to be doing for your
kids or not doing that you're doing? Now? Want you
to say something edgy rope.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You're trying, aren't you? Well? I do know that some
of our parents do struggle, and so I think just
trying to find time to sit down and listen to
their child, listen to their concerns, listen to what's going
on good. I think that's something that's really important because
sometimes some of our parents have two and three jobs
and they're busy just trying to make the ends meet
(22:25):
and put food on the table. So I think just
giving them that, you know, you need to spend some
extra time and just try to make that connection with
their child.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
What percentage of kids are coming to school over sugared?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I would say probably one hundred percent today.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What's what's a good bit of advice, A simple thing?
What percentage of kids are coming to school dehydrated?
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Well, actually, since COVID, we do allow our students to
you know, take water bottles and bring water bottles from
home and then the closest we have bosses you know,
water fountains and stuff at school. So I would hope
that we don't have any dehydrated students.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
My wife thinks every American is dehydrated all the time. Justush, Well,
I want to say this, Principal Patterson, I love, love,
love that you do that for those kids. I absolutely
love it. I think it's fantastic. I think it's wonderful.
(23:34):
It gives me hope. That's that's why you got into
public education, is to help these children soar and I
do believe that makes a huge difference. And I'm glad
you're focusing on the good. You do have to correct
bad behaviors, but I'm glad you're focusing on the good.
And thanks for taking our call an element. You always feel,
(23:55):
like Michael Berry Show. Last year I had the owner
(24:19):
of getting a cameo in a movie by Sean Welling,
and it's a Lee Major's film and there's some Hollywood
stars in it, and it's taken longer in production than
I had hoped, but there's a lot of us, there's
a lot of sci fi elements, and so that takes
a long time to build. And that's all done in Hollywood,
(24:39):
so Sean's having to fly back and forth to Hollywood
to approve everything and all this. But the highlight for me,
because Ramon, as you know, I've been in ten films
not to practice, was that my boys are in the film.
And in fact, Michael t studies film at ut and
so this is the first film that all three of
us are in, and the premiere is next Sunday, And
(25:07):
I just realized that it's next Sunday because November tenth
is my birthday, but much more importantly, it is Crockett's
homecoming day, and so we celebrate our boys' homecoming day.
Some people call that a gotcha day if you have
adopted kids. Some people refer to that as a gotcha day,
a second birthday. We call it their homecoming day, so
we get a big mom just kidding. So to celebrate
(25:31):
this year, he and I are going to the Texans
game and we're really looking forward to our little father
son bonding moments. My birthday, more importantly, his homecoming day.
So I won't get to be at the movie premiere
of Sean Willings's newest film, That's a Bummer. You can
(25:52):
you play a clip from the movie? Sure, go ahead, sir.
I know you're going to do it. You know what
people do because I did this in elementary school. So
I was little bitty. I was tiny in school, little bitty,
and so what I would do is pick on the
big kids for being big. That's like the chihuahua that
(26:15):
runs up and barks up at the big dog because
he's so scared that big dogs is going to gobble
him up. And you will watch if you've ever owned
a chihuahua, the very aggressive dogs. If you watch, Chihuahua's
will run up on a bull Mastiff, they'll run up
on a Doberman, and nine times out of ten, those
big dogs will do nothing, or they'll turn and walk
(26:36):
off because they're kind of spooked. Like this guy. He
must have he must have some karate training or something.
He must be a bad mamma, jamma, because look at
what he's doing. Okay. So Eddie Martini wore me out
during the break and I thought, if the Big Boss
is calling, something's wrong. And he said, you better not
leave people with the impression that you were hard on
(26:59):
Trump during that interview, because if you remember, you were
a and it starts with a P about it. And
I made fun of you because because he was a
Trump guy, because you were beating up on Trump, and
then you had him on and you were just as
respectful and polite and everything else, which is true. I
(27:23):
did not want to give you all the impression if
you weren't listening back then, I didn't have him on
and beat him up. I would have it, but I'm
gonna tell you what happened. Two things, the most important
of which that I didn't get to finish was we're
all cued up for him to call, well, for his
people to call. The way this works is they call
the number, we pick up. We've got a dedicated line
(27:46):
for such things. For a big call like that, Chad
will come in because Ramon's running the board, so that
Chad can handle that phone call and give it proper,
you know, get him on the right line, check all
the levels, make sure everything is fine. So the phone rings,
and it's a funny number, and so it's got to
be you know, Donald Trump's people. He's not President Trump
(28:08):
at that point. This was This was February twenty sixteen.
And so the way that call is supposed to go
is is this Michael Berry or you know we Chad
would answer Michael Berry Show and they would say Hi.
This is often they don't even give their name. They say,
I'm calling for mister Trump, and we have an interview
schedule with y'all. Holland's interview going to be blah blah blah.
(28:30):
And you know, when I see that call, they'll they'll
they'll flag me so I don't start into a long
audio file or whatever else. And the point is for me,
we'll we'll do the motion like, uh, you know, when
the coach tells the quarterback to keep running the clock,
they'll do a motion like just just string this out
a little bit so that when we're ready you can
(28:51):
go to him, you know, don't start into another conversation
or then it'll you'll have to jump around. But I
don't care. Our show's disjointed anyway. We just do what
we want to do. So there's supposed to be a
couple of minutes there where as a power play, you know,
he goes and peas while while the person calls in,
and then you know you're left hole, you're left waiting
(29:12):
on them to come on. Well, I do the reverse
power play. Is we Their person that called in talks
to our person, which is our executive producer, Chad, and
then we they say is he ready to go on?
And we say yes, And so I can see when
they lock the phone line down, and then Chad will
give me a thumbs up, which means the guest himself
(29:34):
is on there. Because they like to make this big
song and dance of you know, you've got to wait
for them and all that. So what I do to
be an ass to show who's in charge here is
once that person is on, then I talked for a
while and Ramon will put his head in his hands
because he realizes, oh good, Michael's going to be a
jackass about this. But I'm letting them know, right. So
(29:55):
what happens is the call comes in, so I've got
usual two to five minutes, because the person, even if
they're just sitting there having a conversation, they'll sit there
and have a conversation while our person is waiting on
them to be on the line. But when Trump called,
the only other time this has ever happened was Ron Paul,
(30:20):
who I worship, I adore Ron Paul. Ron Paul is
up there with Thomas Soul for me phone rings ring ring,
dedicated line. Chad's in here waiting. Chad works out of
a studio to two offices down so for him to
come in, but we were in the old studio, so
he would have been actually would have been across the building,
(30:40):
so he'd have had to come on. So Chad comes
in on a situation like that, you know, it's all
hands on deck, right, we got we gotta put our
best foot forward. So Chad's in there, phone rings, Chad
picks it up, and so it's going to be a
few minutes, and Chad's eyes bug out. It says, uh,
this is Donald Trump. And Chad goes, he's pointing to phone.
(31:03):
It's him, it's him. Well, dude, if you're gonna call yourself,
I'm not gonna leave you on hold. So it went
from this is Donald Trump. So he's like, it's him.
But the conversations going on for like ninety seconds, so
I'm thinking he's backing out. He heard that I beat
up on him. He's chicking it out. There's no way.
He's just sitting there talking to Chad. He's just sitting
(31:23):
there talking to Chad. So by the time he got on,
how can I not love the guy? Now? Do not
take from this story? See Michael, see you were wrong
take from this story. Well, Michael, that's very big of
you to tell that story. You're the czar and you're awesome. Yeah,
that's why I told that story. But that made me
(31:44):
love Trump.
