Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time. Time time, luck and load. The Michael
darry Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I all.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Of growing the pie. Whatever cliche you want to use,
connecting two people, connecting somebody who I get emails all
the time. Hey, I'm looking for a job. You should
always say when you're looking for a job, why are
you looking for a job? Did you get laid off?

(01:22):
Are you unhappy at the job where you are? Why
are you unhappy at the job where you are? Because
you may be the problem and not Most people don't
realize that. But I will find cases where someone is
straight out great example, Rome, remember the kid that was
pitching at Sam Houston. So in the middle of the

(01:42):
conversation is yeah, I want to go into construction. What
kind of construction commercial or residential? Commercial? I want to
build big buildings. I said, oh, well, I know some
of the guys that do that, like Tullipson. Well, that goober.
He doesn't even tell me his wife and his mother
work in the med Center at a building that Tellipson
built and is renovating. As we speak, his mother sends

(02:06):
me an email, Rome, didn't tell you, but he knew Tellips.
He knows exactly who Tellipson is that's his dream job.
Send a message to Tad, Hey, bud uh not asking
you to hire somebody as a favor to me, just
asking you to look at it. I'm giving you a
pipeline of I'm actually doing you a favor because that's true.
You want you want a deal flow of good people.

(02:29):
So he said, uh, thank you, I'm on it. And
then what two weeks ago, a week or two ago,
the new hires at Tellipson. The posting that they sent
out internally, he sent it to me and there was
a new You know, they have helpers on job sites.
They have guys that are electricians, they have guys that

(02:50):
are plumbers, project manager, and they brought in this kid.
So that gives me such a thrill. And I spent
a lot of time when I'm off the air doing that.
And my family's very good about understanding it, connecting people
to make things happen. So I get an email this morning,

(03:11):
a big engineering firm. I'm not authorized to say it yet,
so I won't, but a big engineering firm calls Lamont Brands.
Two brothers. Now, my history with Lamont Brands is one
of them had come back from Iraq when I was
on city council and I used to honor the guys.

(03:31):
We'd go out and meet them when the planes came out,
and I would give them a proclamation from the city.
And so I had somebody in my office that that's
what they did all day. They wrote these proclamations for everything,
you know, thank you for your service. And to some
people that's a big honor. To other people, they probably
throw it in the trash and that's okay. And this
was I think six and I didn't remember this, but

(03:54):
they did, and it hung on the wall. And so
Lamont Brands is doing their business, is doing very well,
and they're growing, and so they needed more space. So
they moved from where they were down to Galveston and
they moved into this space that was probably twice as
big so they could increase production. Most people in the

(04:14):
in the apparel business, you know, like these oil and
gas companies need to put guys in overalls and things
like that. Most people are buying that stuff from China.
These guys are making stuff. They're printing shirts right there.
They're you know, when we made the Mattress Mac shirts.
If you remember the Gangstomac shirts that we did. They

(04:37):
printed those on the spot. That's how we were to
turn them so fast. Anyway, so they get a call
from this engineering firm, Hey, I want to talk to
you about you know, our polo shirts, our pants, our
gear for our people out in the field. What turns
out it's going to be a several million dollars a
year deal. It's a big deal for what was a

(04:58):
small company that's continuing to grow. And the lady said, yeah,
Michael Berry speaks for you, and that's all I need
to know. That's that's a trust factor, and that is
why if I got, if I can get a complaint
from this engineering firm, in three months, I pick up
the phone to Jerry Omel and go, hey, I got
a complaint from that engineering firm. Can you make this right?

(05:19):
And we do that. That's not the fun part of
what we do, but we do it. Two nights ago,
I got an email from a guy Sunday night. So
so what Three nights ago I got an email from
a guy. His elderly mother. The ac went out and
she won't leave the house, and she's on oxygen and

(05:43):
she's in she's like ninety five years old and she's
I mean, it's hot in the house and the neighborhood
is such that they can't open the doors. They don't
feel safe, and they called around and nobody will fix
the air conditioning. So I did what I never do.
I called Robert Shelton, owner of north Wind AC, and
I said, I try not to. I can't pass every

(06:07):
favor that I'm asked on. I can't, or I would
wear out my welcome, but this one kind of hits me.
Can you help? And he called them that night and
by yesterday morning resolved. Boom done, and the deal is
done and the sweet little old lady is back in
the air conditioning. I love that part of what we do.

(06:29):
I love to talk about what's going on. I love
to hopefully make people be better husbands and wives and
mothers and fathers and children to their ailing parents and
bosses and employees and neighbors and coaches. I hope, I
really do. It might seem silly or full of it,
but I really do hope that I can inspire people
to be better. And I hope we can entertain you,

(06:51):
make you laugh, make you think, all the things that
go through that. But it is very important to me.
It's part of how I'm built that I love making connections.
You know, when you see a man and a woman
fight like hell, make each other miserable, it's it's it's toxic,

(07:12):
and it wears you out. But when you see a
man and a woman who are in love, who help
each other be better people, I mean, that is worth
all the divorces and toxic relationships to make someone that happy.
Where you see that each person. And I don't just
I don't mean just sexually or physically or the attractions.

(07:36):
I mean you see it when people get old and
and want my parents, you know, my mom was always
taking care of my dad because of all the health
problems he's had. And then we almost lose her. I
mean we got, we got really close. It was you
know tonight, tonight she's gonna go, and she's slowly working
her way back up. She lost a lot of weight,

(07:57):
in very weak, she's struggling with her breathing. But to
watch my dad now have to turn and he's, you know,
my wife and I will have his conversa. He's the
stronger one right now. I mean, that's the way it's
supposed to work, right, And that's why I don't understand
why some people don't under you got one partner in life,
you ought to make that person better every single day.

(08:19):
But anyway, I just want I tell that story because
it's important to me. But by the way, you can
have that effect too. If you have a sister that's
trying to get a business off the ground making cupcakes,
how about you buy some cupcakes. How about you tell
do you remember the world's finest chocolate? Nobody sold the
chocolate themselves, their parents did. Calfree is out there. Calfree

(08:42):
was my age great baseball player, and he won the
Gokart because he sold the most chocolates. And it's because
he's build Free sold them. And some of y all
know Calfree. He's he's a golf coach. Give him some
grief and tell him that I'm still sore over that
off card. I mean a go cart went. We're gonna

(09:03):
go to the inflation stories. But I know Bob was
holding on another matter. Let's go to Bob real quick,
and then we'll go down the line. Bob, you only
Michael Berrish, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Sir, Hey, Michael, Yeah. I was looking watching the news
conference yesterday and I noticed that at one point they
said that what that guy did was he just are
Their excuse for not saying it was fraud was that
he sent the same number of ballots to ninety eight

(09:30):
percent of the precincts. Well, surely they have historical data
of how many people vote at the various precincts, and
they can determine which number, which number of ballots would
be good for, say, the Democrat districts versus the Republican districts,
and just not and and and just grossly under under

(09:55):
or sins the.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Guy that posts under the name common Sense Bob or
something like that. No, No, there is a guy I
do too, because I really like this guy. I don't
know him, but I like what he does. He's one
of these folks that is I suspect he's an engineer

(10:18):
or maybe an financial analyst. My guess is he's somewhere,
maybe sixty years old. But he writes these very dry
comments criticizing what the city and county are doing. Because
he's like Tom bes on that that he keeps up.
He's followed this stuff for so many years and nobody

(10:40):
listens to him. But these guys are very plugged in,
and they'll point out, oh, we're doing this again. Well,
here's how much they spent before, and here's what happened
with it, and here's who stole the money. Remember this,
Marissa Hansen does that. There's a guy that is the
flood guy for the Kingwood area, and he's the guy
he posts these blogs about flood maps and drainage and

(11:03):
fraud and all this. I've begged Bill White, right, what's.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
That kind of like Bill White? You know, he the
one that does the King What Bill King? Yeah, he
watched the same deal. Yeah, yeah, those guys are great.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
But this guy, this flood guy, he's forgotten more about
flooding than anybody talking about flooding publicly. And I have
begged him to come on and he has no interest.
He just I don't know why. I would love to
tell his story. But anyway, yes, answer to your question,
they have that historical data, and it's not the case

(11:38):
that every voting location should receive the same number of ballots.
You have voting locations that have had ten people vote
there on the general election day for the last five cycles,
ten people each time, and you have others that have
had five thousand people vote consistently. We know what the

(11:59):
numbers are going to well. My wife was Secretary of State.
I learned so many disturbing things about our elections that
would frighten you. There was one woman down in the
valley at a Democrat precinct and she took her box,
put it in the back of her truck, I mean

(12:19):
in the back of her trunk, and went missing. She
went into hiding. She went to a motel in state
because she didn't want the box to come in because
the Republicans had voted, and she didn't want the county
and she was afraid that that county, like Cadalgo County
maybe fitting that it was going to go Republican and
she didn't want that, so she hid the box. There

(12:39):
was another woman who went into a bathroom and locked
herself into the bathroom with the ballot boxes so that
she could stuff the boxes. And they had to send
in a deputy several to get her out of there
because she was stuffing the box. This stuff is happening,
and that was ten years ago. So this stuff is happening,

(13:00):
and it's always happening for the Democrats. It's never the
Republicans ever. Ever. TJ, You're on the Michael Berry Show.
What's say you, sir? Oh he waited all that time? Brett?
How old you figure? Brett is Brett? You're on the
Michael Berry Show. Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
How are you doing? Michael? I told you about the
uh inflation prices and stuff like that. I'm in the
aluminum business. Basically, I'm in a patio cover business. I
sell a patio covered that has louvers that open and
close by remote control. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
So I looked at them a few years ago. They're
hiring the cat's ask. But boy they're cool.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, yeah, they're nice.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
They're very.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
And uh, you know the faint thing.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
People say, what do you say in it? Sell daylight?
Because if you know of all the coverage we build
are over the living room windows on the back of
the house. Yeah, and you do ola church of box
all light coming in. You open my louvers up when
you're not using it to daylight coming the house.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Where is Equinox made.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's made here in the USA where it originated Australia.
They have a place in Georgia and one in Phoenix, Arizonfice.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
How long you been doing that?

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I've been doing their product for about sixteen years. I
did another product called Solaura that come out of Israel.
I did that about twenty years ago. Yeah, so there's
not many of us that do this, but.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'm on the site now. I've almost bought one of those.
I was living over on Crestwood near Memorial Park and
the house was all glass. It was my dream home.
But it flooded and we needed to move, move closer
to the kids' school and all that sort of stuff.
But I looked very hard. I actually spoke to a

(14:59):
dealer back then. It might have been you. I don't know.
It says finally deal, but it doesn't list the dealers.
Which location are you.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
My company is twenty first century Sungraps. It's the name
of my company, but the product are using seconds.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, twenty first century rooms first man.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I spent a short time.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
On that at one point, studying this. And you're on
Pelican Boulevard in Willis. Yeah, yeah, interesting. How long have
you owned this business.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I've been in the patio business for forty years.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
So it says our services louvered roof, patio covers, screen rooms,
patio enclosures, pergola, and sunroom. So this heat is your
best friend?

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. We make a lot of shape.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
So so when those louvers closed on that equinox system,
if it starts raining, is it absolutely and is it
going to close and seal?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yes, it's ninety i'd said, you know, rain through and
so I go buy my restaurants. And so if you
take the weed in the woodlands, we did. Tommy Bahamas
spoke to the child USUS acre cyclooniales. We did Woodson's
over the top of kitchens we did. I mean, so
what I go by is my restaurant guys are never

(16:30):
ever calling me saying hey, table twenty three is always
getting wet with tripped over it rains, come tix it
never and so if if they're leaking, I don't know
about it. Well that's why I go buy the restaurants.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
What they have to say, what percentage of your business
is is this luvered system? Because I think it's fascinating.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
We probably eighty percent of my businesses is h is
lubed roofs. And just because of that, we've we're on
marketing on the internet. We do. There's a few like
Houston in your lub groups, they'll come up with Houston
lub groups. Yeah, so and that brings it bult.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
We don't say it depends or I'm going to hang
up on you. Roughly speaking as as a rule of thumb,
what is the cost per square foot of covered space
for one of these lubed roofs. If it's not the
most complicated deal in the world, it's the standard middle
of the road system.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
We go buy square footage one ware pricing. It takes me.
People say, hell, aren't you going to take their prices?
Got take you that three seconds, and really it's ninety
five dollars of square foot. There's what it costs. And
sometimes if it's real big, it gets a little cheaper.
If it's real small, it gets forts.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
I noticed some of these have got you've got fans
on them too, y'all. Y'all add that they're beautiful. So
I'm looking at your website right now, Brett, they're absolutely
you have you seeing the monk to the Anglo doing
a great job and memorial pa my diversity. Bobby Crumpley,

(18:08):
who's one of my favorite email owners. He sends useful
things and I can employ on the show. He owns
Houston vapor Blasting dot com and he said, my biggest
expense by far for my vapor blasting business, where I
do car and motorcycle parts restoration, is electricity to run

(18:32):
my machines. What had been five to seven cents per
kilowatt hour is now fifteen to twenty cents. I can't
triple the price of my service. So something as baked
in an invisible seemingly as electricity can crush your margin.

(18:53):
I hear this in every way. The inputs to the process,
whatever that may be, are increasing, and yet the market
won't bear price increases. Restaurants are telling me things cost more.

(19:16):
Meat costs more, flower costs more, electricity costs more. And
then people notice that they're getting pinched. They can't afford
groceries anymore. So what do they do. They come in
and say, I've enjoyed working here, but I'm leaving because

(19:39):
I got to go somewhere where I can make more money.
So this puts the owner in a pinch. All right, Well,
let me see if I can afford to pay you more.
And once you do that, you don't go back if
inflation goes down. You've increased that rate. Now Carlos finds

(20:04):
out that Hey, Suss is getting paid more, and Carlos
wants more and now now you're in a real pickle.
I don't think most people realize and why would they

(20:24):
that many businesses don't make money. Many many businesses that
you see every day do not make money. How do
they stay in business? The parents of the owner feed
them money to keep the business going. Some families will

(20:47):
subsidize their kid's business to keep him or her out
of trouble. Let's say that the daughter is an artist.
She's been in and out of rehab, she's a bad
picker of men. They're very afraid she's going to take
her own life. This is reality, this happens. Their words.

(21:11):
She's going to take her own life. And if her
little business fails, that might be the trigger. And if
you've ever been around suicide, you'll never forget it. It
is devastating to everybody involved. And so they will maybe
not even formally invest. And how that works is I

(21:35):
guess I'm gonna have to shut my artist's studio down.
I'm not selling enough paintings and I can't pay my rent.
What's your rent? It's fifteen hundred dollars. What can you
pay right now? Probably five hundred? How about this? How
about your dad? And I how about we pick up

(21:56):
your rent for the next three months. Let's get you
back on your feet and redouble your efforts, and let's
do a little uh you know, I'll do an email
to my friends and and they that's an amount of money.
They're spending that money on mental health dollars. They're spending
that money on the survival of their daughter. Things we

(22:19):
do for kids, right, completely understandable. A lot of restaurants
I've seen restaurants in this town that I'm certain or
not making money, but the father of the owner with
both parents are trying to set their kid up and
help them out. And there's nothing wrong with that. By
the way, that's not a judgmental statement. It's not a

(22:42):
critical statement. If I could give my kids a bump
and they started a business to get them off the ground.
It's very very very very very hard to start a
business that and keep it going. It's very hard. If
you're staffing up, you got to find space. There's a

(23:03):
lot of costs that hit you before you ever see
a dollar. And you know from the name of your business,
the legal filings and all the things necessary to start
a business. It's a daunting task. And this is why
I get angry at politicians who've never done it, saying well,

(23:24):
let's add this, and let's make them do this, and
let's make them have a license, and let's regulate them,
and let's it turns out and this took Republicans to
do it. I wonder how many people know this. Several
years ago there was a licensing and regulation department for

(23:44):
hair braiding. Well, do you know who gets their hair braided?
Black women? They have extensions put on. It's a big, big,
big business. Black women that don't have five dollar dollars
to their name, we'll walk around with nails and hair.

(24:04):
It's a cultural thing. That's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. Fine,
and it's important to them. That's a big part of
their beauty, no matter what they look like. That's a
big part of their beauty. And there are lots of
women that can do it, that have the skill set,
and they have to go through this. I think it
was two thousand hours. You should not have to go

(24:28):
to barber school to be able to sit on the
front porch in the summer and flip flops and braid
your neighbor's hair. That's just dumb. Well, if she pays
you for it. Okay, Well, why is the government getting
in between a transaction of two consenting adults to do

(24:50):
something that has no victim, nobody is harmed. Well, we
have to make sure of the hygiene standards, do we though?
Is that important?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Is it more important that we triple the cost of
braiding hair in order that some sort of inspector can
come around and say, oh, you can't do this sitting
on the front porch. We did it for three thousand years.
You know, there was a time before government came knocking
on your door to check that every toilet was X

(25:25):
number of inches from the wall and you had disabled party.
There was a time when people provided goods and services
to someone else willingly, consensually, and everything worked out. Get
people to understand giving information is not snitching to Jeff,
the builders says, pre COVID, I was building at one

(25:47):
hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty dollars a
square foot for my custom homes. That was a rate
for over five years. During COVID, it jumped from one
fifty to two fifty a square foot of truction due
to lack of products. Post COVID, I'm now starting my
pricing at two hundred dollars a square foot still amazing.

(26:12):
Homes just cost me more to build them. Labor, steel, wood.
It's never truly, never truly recovered. Now I'm seeing price
increases on the things I buy monthly, on almost every product,
especially right now glass and roofing products. Steve Toath, our

(26:33):
state rep. Said in twenty thirteen, we're talking about the
hair braiding deal that Republicans managed to get to undo.
We didn't need you didn't need a license to sit
on the front porch in the summer heat and an
unair conditioned house and braid the hair of the woman
next door for you just because she just because she
paid you for it. There's so many things that the

(26:57):
government needs to get out of the business of. But
I hear it. I hear it all the time. Ah No,
you gotta regulate it and clean it up. You gotta
regulate it. Michael. I'm for legalizing marijuana, not that I
do it. I'm for legalizing it so we can tax it,
You dumb ass. What are you gonna do with the tax?

(27:18):
What is the government gonna do with the tax? We
tax it a bunch of money, Michael, all Right, when
they get that money, what are they gonna do with it, Well,
then they can lower my taxes, you dumb ass. That's
not how it works. They're just gonna have more money
to hire more people to harass.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
You.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Go back and read the Declaration of Independence. Those people
who we now refer to as colonists because they went
to a colony. All they wanted was to be left
the hell alone. They set up their own banks, they
set up These were merchants who set up their own

(28:05):
system to survey the land and sell it and protect
it and insure it. They set up entire they use
the word scheme in England for the Brits, that's not
a bad thing. They set up insurance schemes, they set
up commercial schemes. They set up wonderful educational institutions. They
built roads, they had agriculture, they were booming. The Brits,

(28:34):
full of bureaucracy, said yeah, we're going to need to
tax you. We're not going to allow you representation in
the House of Commons, but we're going to tax you
because we need more money for our empire, because empire
is expensive. And eventually they said we're just not going

(28:56):
to do it. This is as old as man. You
don't want the government getting in between commercial transactions. But
here's what happens. There will be a person, There'll be
an in run, which there's no doubt. People were hurt
by that. A lot of twenty six thousand people, I

(29:18):
think at last count, were hurt very badly by that.
So people say what we need is more regulation. We
had plenty of regulation. The regulation failed. People believe every
time something goes wrong, Ah, government could have kept that
from happening. Government is more likely to cause it to happen.

(29:42):
When I was on city council, I would hear from
people who pined for Houston to be Denver or New
York or San Francisco. And they would say, we need
deed rest, we need zoning, And I say, no, we don't. Yeah,
we gotta have zoning. We gotta have zoning. Zoning is
the best you gotta have. We're the only major city

(30:02):
without zoning. Well, that's not an argument against it. What
if we're the only major city that doesn't have a murder,
Do we now have to have murders all the zoning. Well,
here's what happens when you institute zoning all of us.
You have to have the first phase of zoning. So

(30:24):
you're going to have properties that were purchased with the
intention of being commercial use or residential use, and some
of those you're going to alter that. And so now
the reasonable expectation upon which you invested is going to
be altered, and it's going to decrease the value of
your investment. But you're allowing government to pick winners and losers.

(30:46):
The idea behind zoning is, will we'll create artificial scarcity,
We will only allow so much land to be used
for commercial retail. Let's say we will artificially, we'll create
artificial scarcity, and that will drive prices up. And it does.

(31:10):
And that's why it was for so many years so
much cheaper to build in the greater Houston area, which
led to a boom. It was a big part of
our boom. Wasn't just oil and gas. As the oil
and gas money started flowing, people wanted to build homes well.
As the city of Houston became more and more liberal,

(31:32):
aggressively liberal people and crime ridden and the streets busted up.
Somebody was driving oh Bert Harvey. Bert Harvey texted me
yesterday and said, I'm over at the corner of fountain

(31:52):
View and Richmond. I said, run fast, you'll get shot,
and he said, man, these streets. I had no idea.
It was just bad. Well, Bert is one of these
guys that drives around in a truck that looks that's
like a bus. It's ten times bigger than he needs
it's got. It's like a a F eight eight fifty.

(32:17):
