Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The media loves to tell us how Trump is a
mean monster for doing things like capturing a psychopathic drug
lord dictator in bombing Somali pirate ships. In fact, sixty
Minutes is running a piece this weekend on just how
tough these pirates have it now that Trump has them
in his bullseye.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Tonight on sixty Minutes, we catch you up with a
Somali pirate whose life has been turned upside down by
President Trump's attacks, and now the president's description of the
sound of bomb makes keeps him sleepless at night.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
My life as a pirate is essentially over. The sound
of disease is silent to me. No longer can I
spot a boat in the distance, track it down, load
my weapons, and kill the men and rape the women.
Trump is an animal. He has indied it all for
me and my family. I am nothing more than a
regular guy. Now his description of the bomb hitting our
(01:32):
boats is being being. Now I am traumatized by any
being being of the microwave. When my popcorn is ready
and my wife can no longer enjoy her favorite character
of all time Chandler being from the classic sitcom Friends,
We are all truly devastated. Next week, on sixty Minutes,
(01:53):
we talk with former Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and how
the heartless Donald Trump has him struggling to put food
on the table now that this drug empire has crumbled.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Drink up.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Five people shot at a New Year's Eve house party
in the third ward. A partygoer witness tells kp r
C TV, all of a sudden, we hear pow pow pow,
and I'm like, hold on, let me duck, drop and roll.
This is some of the funniest audio you will ever hear.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Click to Houston with the story, Oh let me tear y'all.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
So I comes to a house party, you know, at
like eleven fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I showed a basically girl.

These sound like bums.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No shave.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
All of a.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sudden, you need to know that that moment, no shade.
Have you seen the video?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This individual is described as Michael dioor if I were
to tell you this was a supermodel and you didn't
hear this person talk. You go, Yeah, it's a supermodel.
It's a dude wearing what could only be described as
(03:22):
it's the kind of thing David Lee Roth could get
away with. It was a very puffy, like a leopard
print bra across a flat chest because it is a dude,
a lot of makeup, close up shot like it was
a Studio fifty six kind of get up nineteen seventy eight,
(03:45):
very disco. And this individual is talking and it's kind
of a moment where he slashy is realizing that yeah,
there was a shooting, people are dead and all that.
But they've chosen me to be interviewed, and this is
(04:06):
my moment, and I want to be very clear that
I'm maximate. Ca hold on, let me put my makeup,
let me let me check my makeup. Girl, come over here,
got to redo my lips, say. This dude is so
into this moment. Forget that five people have been killed.
That's not even relevant. This is the moment. The local
(04:29):
two news coverage of the house party shooting where you
were started over. Volume up because the verb conjugation is
icing on the cake.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, let me tell y'all.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So I comes to a house party, you know, at
like eleven fiftee. I showed up basically, girl, they just
like was poppy fire crackers, poppy fowers. I was like,
oh my god, these don't sound like fivewers. These sound
like bunk snowshave.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All of a sudden, we hear pow pa paw.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm like, hold on, let me dropping raw, Like, how
do I man say?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
This morning, about twelve twenty four, South Central Patrols dispatched
of shooting in the thirty one hundred block of Live Vote.
When they arrived, they had found two people had been
shot and they got transported to a local area hospital
and we're in a stable condition. One was a female
with multiple gunshot wounds. The other was a male with
(05:24):
one gunshot wound.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I seen people believe in I seen mace. It was
just a lot I seen. It was a multitude effective.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
When the officers arrived, there were multiple people running from
the scene and officers try to detain a few of
them and question a few of them.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
They were all witnesses.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
We don't believe in them were suspects, but nobody's will
and cooperate and tell us exactly what happened or what occurred,
or who the suspect was, because at this time we're
getting very little cooperation from all the participants in the
party where these shooting occurred.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, so you're having a party at a house. God
help the neighbors. The party is just getting started at midnight. Somebody,
we've gone from drive by to walking in the house
and shooting it up. You're inside the house and someone
(06:19):
walks in and starts shooting at people. Five people have
been murdered. Okay, you are an attendee. No, no, not
all five were murdered. Five were shop You are an attendee.
You refuse to tell the cops who did this. We
(06:42):
don't talk about this a lot enough. Do you trust
that person to be a voter? Do you trust that
person to work for you? Do you realize that person
does not share your values, that community does not share
your values. Whatever however you define community, geographical, age, race,
(07:06):
leave that aside for a moment. There are groups of
people in this country who are at a party on
New Year's Eve. Someone comes in and shoots the place up.
They could have been randomly shot as well. They saw
the person who did it, and their answer to that
is uh uh, I'm not gonna tell now. I know
(07:28):
a lot of people think I'm naive. Oh Michael, you
don't tell. Oh give stitches. I'm not stupid. I understand
that we have normalized this. Well, of course they didn't
talk because they would be killed. That's not my America.
How does that happen? Think about this for a moment,
(07:49):
or you could just ask yourself. You know, growing up, right,
we did bomb drills. We learned what to do if
you were caught on fire, but we never learned duck
drop and roll when the house was being the house
party was being shot up.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Basically, girl, they just like was poppy fire crackers, poppy
five wurs. I was like, oh my god, these don't
sound like firewurs. These sound like bums snow shaved. All
of a sudden, we hear Paul Paul paw. I'm like,
hold on, let me dropping row Like how I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Inside laugh when I tell a joke like that. So
I know you thought it was funny. Michael Berry, Oh no,
I won't do that. It's too much for she won't.
She won't go that that was so funny. Texas Southern
University was created.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think sweat feet Painter was the was the case
if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong. Somewhere
probably late forties early fifties. University of Texas did not
admit black students at the time, so a black university
was created. And I think it was a pharmacy student.
I knew these things at one point. It was a
(08:59):
It was a major architect in town named John Chase.
His son, Tony Chase, is a friend of mine, and
John Chase was I think if Heeman Sweat was an
architecture student, John Chase was number two behind him. But
John Chase became a guy that everybody loved, Republicans, Democrats.
(09:21):
He would end up designing embassies around the world. He
would end up becoming a world at least a nationally
famous architect who built, who built buildings around the world.
His son, Tony Chase has done extraordinarily well. Harvard Law School,
Harvard football team, Harvard undergrad was uh. I knew him
(09:43):
originally because he was my wife's professor at the University
of Houston and went on to own radio stations, businesses.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Private equity. We have very different politics.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
He's close friends with Barack Obama because they went to
Harvard together, but we're also very close friends. We just
have different politics. Anyway, TSU had such promise, and there
were years where TSU's student body was as good, where
(10:19):
some of their students were as good as very esteemed universities.
Because much like blacks in the fifties and sixties who
went into the military or the post office, these are
guys that probably should have been way above that station
in life where they ended up pay wise, leadership wise,
(10:41):
but because they were black, they were held back. So
you would see these guys that were beneath the accomplishment
and stature level of where they should have been because
of race, because it did matter then, and so they
were overqualified for the position where they were a lot
of things changed, the pendulum changed. TSU ended up becoming
(11:06):
a place where black politicians could could get their beek wet,
where the white statewide officials. You'd have your white governor
and he'd put the people on the board and they
were gonna it was going to be like this charitable circuit.
In Houston, there was a president named Priscilla Slade, and
(11:29):
Priscilla Slade was the best thing that happened to the
university until she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
She came in and she was a socialite.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
She was able to She was able to get the
old white guys excited about this tired black university that
was now open to everybody, but still majority black in
third Ward, near near University of Houston. Nobody that was
helping her raise money had ever gone to that school.
(12:03):
It was the Jack Blanton crowd that was doing this,
and she was very good at getting them excited about
this project of Hey, we're going to have a HBCU
historically black college university that the.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
City can be proud of.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
And damned if these old white guys didn't didn't jump
in and with all, you know, everything they had and
support it. But then there every time there's a phase,
there's a there's corruption, there's theft, there's lots of money stolen.
And then you get to Rodney Ellis's and these black
politicians who say no, no, no, we don't want to state audit.
(12:41):
You see how much fraud there is the Minnesota Somali situation,
what what Elon was able to expose through DOGE. You
see these organizations and it's not all black, but a
lot of it is.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Where you get something that.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Is set aside as this will be a black thing
and immediately, and I saw this in politics, Sheila Jackson
Lee was the worst, although Rodney is smart enough to
keep his fingerprints off of it and run it much
better or more with more corruption. And you see these people,
(13:19):
they end up taking control of these things. They have
their people that they place there, which is their their sibling,
their spouse, their their frat brother, their sorrows sister, and
they put their people in these things.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And then let's say TCU.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
For instance, They've got to build a building, all right,
So they get their architect, and they get their concrete guy,
and they get their brick guy. And you'll see these
guys that come out of nowhere and all of a
sudden they've got a construction management company or an environmental
compliance company. And now all of a sudden, they you know,
they go from you know themselves to one hundred and
(13:57):
fifty million dollars in contracts overnight.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And it has nothing to do with how good they
are at what they do.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The guy who's really good at what he does, he's
working for some big company. I'm talk about the black
guy who does that. He's working for some big company.
And he wants no part of doing that TSU work.
So now we have it. This is what the third
or fourth time. It just keeps coming around in cycles.
The state auditor says TSU is unable to account for
(14:26):
millions of dollars in spending. I'm going to tell you
this isn't just the person who stole the money. This
is layers and layers. There's a lot of beaks getting
wet on this. There's a lot of people on a
deal like this who find out what's going on. There
(14:48):
are cocktail parties, there are checks written, there are people hired,
there are deals cut and oh, by the way, the
poor black kid that's going to TSU. Sorry, there's no
money for the actual education that was provided by the
state for you to learn. But God forbid me, pointed out,
(15:08):
I'm the races. Okay, that's the way it has to be.
K show you with the story.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Texas Southern University and hot Water tonight after it was
unable to account for millions of dollars in spending. It's
the result of a final report from the state auditor.
The top issues, According to the audit, the university overrode
safeguards to make purchases, buying things from vendors without first
completing requisitions that leads to budget overruns. TSU has also
(15:36):
not been doing an annual inventory, which resulted in the
loss of fifty assets totaling three point two million dollars.
The state auditor also says the university failed to get
timely and accurate financial data to the office. Lieutenant Governor
Dan Patrick, who called for a Texas Rangers investigation back
in November, posted on social media today quote, I will
(15:59):
do everything in my power to be sure that not
one additional taxpayer dollar goes unaccounted for. It is hereby dissolved,
mister Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well not about desert wraps are all up. Many Damage
was a hat maker.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Jerry Jeff bought hats from him, knew to be good
friends with him. He may not know the name, but
you know the hats if you've seen Lonesome Dove. The
famous Gus hat that Robert duvall Or was made custom
made by Many Damage. He made Tommy Lee Jones's hat
for the same movie. But the Gus hat is the
one that is most famous. What I love about Jerry
(16:43):
Jeff Walker and you either get this or you don't.
And I don't suggest that you're less a person if
you don't get it. It just means you you have
an experience the or you may not be that kind
of person. What I love about the Texas Red dirt
music and these guys were the first wants to really
introduce it in this way. Is it storytelling songs about
(17:07):
things they're doing that are not written to be played
in Nashville or on radio. They're almost a diary, a pickin' diary.
And if you ever crossed paths, I mean Luke and Back,
got too big, got bigger than it probably should have
ever been. But it was William Whaliam's outlaw phase and
and you know so that you got to expect that's
(17:29):
going to happen. But these these moments are just they're very,
very special. And I think that's what Joe Eely represented.
I was not the biggest Joe Elee fan up because
I didn't like him or the flat Landers. I just
hadn't been exposed to that same way I had Robert
Earle or Jerry jeff or Charlie Robinson or you know
(17:51):
those sorts of things. But what I love about that
style and genre of music is you can tell that
Jerry Jeff Walker is sitting there having the hat made
and says, must write a song about Manny. And he
didn't care if you know who man he is, and
he didn't care if you buy the album, and he
didn't care if you sing along. He wanted to write
a songboy his buddy Manny. I have a friend named
(18:15):
Malcolm Hitchcock, and I was a Jerry Jeff fan but
had not heard the album when I got to be
friends with Malcolm Hitchcock. He had a bar in what
he called sanm Pedro, but he's English and they can't
get accents in Belize, and the bar is called Fetos
fid O, spelled like fidos. And Malcolm's claim to fame
(18:39):
is he was a British sailor. He ended up in
British Honduras, which became Belize, and in his travels around
the world and drunken revelry of everywhere he went, he
decided he wanted to come back to British Honduras, which
became of course Belize. But he had to make the
money because he wanted to own a bar on the water.
(19:01):
So he was a roadie for Eric Clapton for years,
and he got into set making, set production and built
up to having his own company.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Wasn't a big company, but he's quite the craftsman.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And he built the scene in Titanic when they're down,
when they're down in the in the bottom is at
the galley. They're down under the belly of the ship.
I don't have the vocabulary for it. And they slammed
the doors and the water comes washing in and they
have nowhere to go, so they they drown. He created,
(19:36):
like a ride at an amusement part a way that
that water could fill and then just the way it
would go up on a on a on a you know,
on its edge, and that would drain the water out
that way they could keep shooting that scene. He created
that and that landed him his actually highest paying gig,
which was more than Titanic, which was doing a Marlborough
(19:59):
Man spot for who was the bond guy? Was it
Pierce Brosnan? Was that the guy's name? Pierce Brosnan? You
I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah? Okay, So a.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Japanese company hired him to build the set and the
idea was Pierce Brosnan.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I feel like I'm not saying his name right, but.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Whatever would be like Godzilla walking through Tokyo.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
He would tower over the city.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But that meant he had to build a replica of
the city that was smaller than Pierce Brosnan because you
didn't have CGI back then. So he got three million
dollars for that, which was a fortune. So his assistant Mary,
his production assistant, He marries her, sells the business, sells
all the sets that he's saved of, moves to Belize,
(20:48):
buys a little shack, no air conditioning, and builds by
hand this Tilapa roofed bar called Feedos. And if you've
been to San Pedro, you've been there. Well, Jerry Jeff
had been going down there, and he discovers his place
and he becomes drinking buddies with Malcolm Hitchcock and he
does an album. It's called Bathing Suits and Cowboy Boots
(21:11):
and I had never heard it before, and Malcolm said,
you're from Texas. Yeah, you ever heard Jerry Jeff Walker. Yeah,
I've met Jerry Jeff Walker. Because when I was mayor
pro tim, I used to get proclamations away as one
of the ways I would get to meet people.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And I'd met him multiple times. We weren't best friends,
but he knew me. I knew him.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I'd never heard that album before. And he plays it
and he says, this is about my bar. And there's
interviews letter where he tells that it was that bar
on Front Street, and he talks about Skinny Dennis, the
guy who played there on Thursday nights. He did a
residency in all these different things. But what I love
about that album it is he talks about drinking coffee
(21:47):
out on the long dock, out into the water that
was Malcolm's house.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
He would go.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He would stay with Malcolm, and he would go out
every morning before no matter how late he stayed up
and got drunk, he would wake up first in the morning.
Malcolm would have coffee there waiting for him, and he'd
take his cup of coffee and go out on the
long dock. Morning's on the long dock he talked about
in the song. And I love the fact that he
basically just took the beautiful things around us that were
(22:14):
not special to anyone else, not famous, but he found
a way to express himself about the life he was
living in a way that you could choose to join in.
And even though you weren't on the long dock, or
you weren't at the bar on Front Street, or you
didn't know skinny dentnis.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You kind of knew a skinny dentist.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
He just might be in Chema or Jamaica Beach or
April Sound and everybody kind of knew that sort of person.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Or Lake Somerville Rama. Anything else gonna work at Lake Somerville?
And did you lose a boodhist Michael Berry? Almost god fella,
Bobby writes.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
If I had a clock repair shop, my slogan would
be if it doesn't tick, talk to us.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's pretty good, Lee writes, hobby for Andy the clockman.
Remember we were trying to figure out what else we
know that because I said he's got five more hobbies.
You said he's a Lutheran deacon. No way, he's at
deacon at the Nazarene Church.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
She's so right, She's so right. Number two.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
He collects Depression era green glassware. He's an expert and
has been asked to speak on glassware specifically made in
Texas and Louisiana. That's Lee from Portland. I don't know
how she has such insight, but that is genius. Not
only does he collect green glassware, but he has in
fact been asked to speak about it. And when he
(23:51):
is described by his wife's friends to others as an
expert on green glassware, he doesn't all shucks, keep going,
all shucks.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh, don't keep going.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yes, Daniel Schwartz says Andy is also into stained glass
could be, could be, But I definitely see the collection
of green glassware.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I definitely say that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Reagan Drodty, former DPS troopers, says, I bet Andy Sharpen's
knives on the side, and he also cooks at the
local k C hall.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's definitely some volunteerism in there. And there is some volunteerism.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
That's one off because if he has a minute, he'll
go do something. But there is volunteerism by which you
could set your watch. Stuff that he's very proud of.
He's done every year. Truth in the matter is, you
could do without every Rod Yellis and Sheila Jackson Lee
and Sevestro Turner. You could do without every Tim Waltz
and Supelosi, Joe Biden. You cannot have America without Andy,
(24:55):
and we underestimate how important that is. You you can
have a church without a famous preacher, you can't have
a real church, the old style country church. I don't
mean these megachurches that are just a TV show. You
can't have that church without Horton McCabe, my friend Kraig
McCabe's dad, or JT.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Brumley, or Archie Boy. There was Archie Boy and Archie Girl.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Because there was a couple, they were each named Archie
and so they were known as Archie Boy and Archie Girl.
You have to have people like that to have a church,
to have a town, reserve deputies, volunteer fire departments, serve
on the water district, and not actually rip people off.
You wouldn't do the Little League. You wouldn't have anything,
(25:42):
but for those kind of guys and their wives do
the cookbook. My wife took every cookbook that my mother
and grandmother had because nobody else in the family wanted them.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And it's the old spiral cookbook, you remember those.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
The thing would be plastic, often it be read and
the paper would be she's got every one of those?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Did.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I don't know if I told you this or not,
but about a month ago I come home and I
walked through the door and she says, h sit down.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I need to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And I don't think one of my kids have died
or whatever, because there's a slight tinge of maybe this
is a joke, but not sure.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You know, maybe George is pooped in the living room.
I don't know. Something said down. I need to talk
to you. She said.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There is a scandal and I need to discuss it
with you. I need you to be aware, okay, And
I'm going to make up the name because I don't
actually remember the name, and if I did, I wouldn't
say it because Orange is a small town. She said,
Trudy Trusdelle has engaged in a terrible crime of plagiarism.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And I said, what she said, open it up? She
had it.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
She had a post it note, page fifty seven, and
I opened it up and there was Trudy Trusdell's family recipe,
banana nut brownie, whatever it was. So I looked at
it and I looked through it, and I said, okay.
She hits me the Duncan Hines, the box of Duncan Hines.
(27:17):
She said, read that recipe out there, or better yet,
read along, and she reads the Duncan Hines recipe for
the banana nut brownie. And as she reads each thing
using exactly the same verb of whip this and curdle this,
and do this exact same Trudy Truesdale had put in
(27:40):
the old First Orange Cookbook, which is supposed to be
for you that all your grandmothers, Miss Vivi and Pivoto. Amber,
Pivoto's grandmother who lived across the highway from us, and
she cooked at the at Olph, I mean at mac
Lewis Elementary. I never saw miss Pevto not in hairnet,
(28:01):
and Miss Pivotot had had a sauce spot for me.
If Miss Pivotoad had her way, I would have married
her granddaughter, Amber, beautiful girl, by the way, if she'd
had her way out of married Amber.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
And when you.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Would go in so Thursday with Burger Day, when you
would go in on Burger Day, she'd wait till nobody
saw it. She'd have in a napkin wrapped up for
me my extra hamburger on there. And I don't know
if you remember wrong, maybe y'all didn't have this, But
somehow the FDA had determined that somebody was going to
get paid to inspect the meat of all the poor
(28:34):
white kids in Southeast Texas.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
So there was a shot of blue dye in there.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So when I come up with a premature cancer, before
y'all blame it on the liquor and the cigars and
the red meat and all that, check on the blue dye,
because that blue dye didn't help things. Let's be very
clear on that. That did not help things. Thursdays was
the burger and a little piece of chocolate cake, and
(29:01):
Miss Peeveto would hold back one tray that was already
made and it would have two pieces, and it was
the corner slice because she.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Knew I liked that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, if you could get hold of Miss Peeveto's recipes,
because she was making good food using the slop they
brought into the school to she was adding things to
that to make it better. If you could actually go
to her house where she had the olio margarine and
where she had the crisco, and where she had the
(29:34):
stuff like my grandmother did, and she could cook the
way she wanted to cook. And even though my wife
did not grow up that way, my idea of a
good time, that's why we've always had a place out
in the country.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Carmen near round Top, and.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Then welder on the way to Louis, on the way
to Saint ANTOI is my wife will tell you. I'm
never happier than to get in the truck on the
weekend and start driving when the roads have opened up,
get on it ten or two ninety and put my
Robert Rurow and then start telling her the story behind.
(30:12):
You know, who was Marianno, and what's John t Floores
and what's Billy Bob's who was this character?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And what a Schaefer beer was when Charlie.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Robinson, you know, and where Bandero was and all that
sort of stuff and nothing makes me. And during times
like that, I would tell her about dishes when we
grew up, and lo and behold scandal of all scandals,
Harper Valley Pta level stuff. Miss Trudy Truesdale had literally
taken from and you know what happened. She probably got
sick or her husband's in the hospital. And every all
(30:44):
the submissions were due, and they were like, Trudy, if
you're gonna put your band and up brownies in the book,
we have got to have it by eight because they're
sending it to the print shop over on Green Avenue
in downtown Orange and we got to have it in
by eight and she got panicked and she sat down
and in that old lady handwriting, they're all right, the
exact same way she hand wrote out the Duncan Hines
(31:05):
recipe and didn't have the good sense to change even
one thing.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And my wife.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So here's a girl from South India named none of
the vangutation run and she busted Trudy Truesdale, who the
thought
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
The media loves to tell us how Trump is a
mean monster for doing things like capturing a psychopathic drug
lord dictator in bombing Somali pirate ships. In fact, sixty
Minutes is running a piece this weekend on just how
tough these pirates have it now that Trump has them
in his bullseye.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Tonight on sixty Minutes, we catch you up with a
Somali pirate whose life has been turned upside down by
President Trump's attacks, and now the president's description of the
sound of bomb makes keeps him sleepless at night.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
My life as a pirate is essentially over. The sound
of disease is silent to me. No longer can I
spot a boat in the distance, track it down, load
my weapons, and kill the men and rape the women.
Trump is an animal. He has indied it all for
me and my family. I am nothing more than a
regular guy. Now his description of the bomb hitting our
(01:32):
boats is being being. Now I am traumatized by any
being being of the microwave. When my popcorn is ready
and my wife can no longer enjoy her favorite character
of all time Chandler being from the classic sitcom Friends,
We are all truly devastated. Next week, on sixty Minutes,
(01:53):
we talk with former Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and how
the heartless Donald Trump has him struggling to put food
on the table now that this drug empire has crumbled.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Drink up.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Five people shot at a New Year's Eve house party
in the third ward. A partygoer witness tells kp r
C TV, all of a sudden, we hear pow pow pow,
and I'm like, hold on, let me duck, drop and roll.
This is some of the funniest audio you will ever hear.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Click to Houston with the story, Oh let me tear y'all.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
So I comes to a house party, you know, at
like eleven fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I showed a basically girl.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
They just like was copy fire practice poppy five wurs.
I was like, oh my god, these don't sound like fivewurs.
These sound like bums.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No shave.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
All of a.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sudden, you need to know that that moment, no shade.
Have you seen the video?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This individual is described as Michael dioor if I were
to tell you this was a supermodel and you didn't
hear this person talk. You go, Yeah, it's a supermodel.
It's a dude wearing what could only be described as
(03:22):
it's the kind of thing David Lee Roth could get
away with. It was a very puffy, like a leopard
print bra across a flat chest because it is a dude,
a lot of makeup, close up shot like it was
a Studio fifty six kind of get up nineteen seventy eight,
(03:45):
very disco. And this individual is talking and it's kind
of a moment where he slashy is realizing that yeah,
there was a shooting, people are dead and all that.
But they've chosen me to be interviewed, and this is
(04:06):
my moment, and I want to be very clear that
I'm maximate. Ca hold on, let me put my makeup,
let me let me check my makeup. Girl, come over here,
got to redo my lips, say. This dude is so
into this moment. Forget that five people have been killed.
That's not even relevant. This is the moment. The local
(04:29):
two news coverage of the house party shooting where you
were started over. Volume up because the verb conjugation is
icing on the cake.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, let me tell y'all.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So I comes to a house party, you know, at
like eleven fiftee. I showed up basically, girl, they just
like was poppy fire crackers, poppy fowers. I was like,
oh my god, these don't sound like fivewers. These sound
like bunk snowshave.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All of a sudden, we hear pow pa paw.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I'm like, hold on, let me dropping raw, Like, how
do I man say?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
This morning, about twelve twenty four, South Central Patrols dispatched
of shooting in the thirty one hundred block of Live Vote.
When they arrived, they had found two people had been
shot and they got transported to a local area hospital
and we're in a stable condition. One was a female
with multiple gunshot wounds. The other was a male with
(05:24):
one gunshot wound.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I seen people believe in I seen mace. It was
just a lot I seen. It was a multitude effective.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
When the officers arrived, there were multiple people running from
the scene and officers try to detain a few of
them and question a few of them.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
They were all witnesses.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
We don't believe in them were suspects, but nobody's will
and cooperate and tell us exactly what happened or what occurred,
or who the suspect was, because at this time we're
getting very little cooperation from all the participants in the
party where these shooting occurred.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Okay, so you're having a party at a house. God
help the neighbors. The party is just getting started at midnight. Somebody,
we've gone from drive by to walking in the house
and shooting it up. You're inside the house and someone
(06:19):
walks in and starts shooting at people. Five people have
been murdered. Okay, you are an attendee. No, no, not
all five were murdered. Five were shop You are an attendee.
You refuse to tell the cops who did this. We
(06:42):
don't talk about this a lot enough. Do you trust
that person to be a voter? Do you trust that
person to work for you? Do you realize that person
does not share your values, that community does not share
your values. Whatever however you define community, geographical, age, race,
(07:06):
leave that aside for a moment. There are groups of
people in this country who are at a party on
New Year's Eve. Someone comes in and shoots the place up.
They could have been randomly shot as well. They saw
the person who did it, and their answer to that
is uh uh, I'm not gonna tell now. I know
(07:28):
a lot of people think I'm naive. Oh Michael, you
don't tell. Oh give stitches. I'm not stupid. I understand
that we have normalized this. Well, of course they didn't
talk because they would be killed. That's not my America.
How does that happen? Think about this for a moment,
(07:49):
or you could just ask yourself. You know, growing up, right,
we did bomb drills. We learned what to do if
you were caught on fire, but we never learned duck
drop and roll when the house was being the house
party was being shot up.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Basically, girl, they just like was poppy fire crackers, poppy
five wurs. I was like, oh my god, these don't
sound like firewurs. These sound like bums snow shaved. All
of a sudden, we hear Paul Paul paw. I'm like,
hold on, let me dropping row Like how I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Inside laugh when I tell a joke like that. So
I know you thought it was funny. Michael Berry, Oh no,
I won't do that. It's too much for she won't.
She won't go that that was so funny. Texas Southern
University was created.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think sweat feet Painter was the was the case
if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong. Somewhere
probably late forties early fifties. University of Texas did not
admit black students at the time, so a black university
was created. And I think it was a pharmacy student.
I knew these things at one point. It was a
(08:59):
It was a major architect in town named John Chase.
His son, Tony Chase, is a friend of mine, and
John Chase was I think if Heeman Sweat was an
architecture student, John Chase was number two behind him. But
John Chase became a guy that everybody loved, Republicans, Democrats.
(09:21):
He would end up designing embassies around the world. He
would end up becoming a world at least a nationally
famous architect who built, who built buildings around the world.
His son, Tony Chase has done extraordinarily well. Harvard Law School,
Harvard football team, Harvard undergrad was uh. I knew him
(09:43):
originally because he was my wife's professor at the University
of Houston and went on to own radio stations, businesses.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Private equity. We have very different politics.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
He's close friends with Barack Obama because they went to
Harvard together, but we're also very close friends. We just
have different politics. Anyway, TSU had such promise, and there
were years where TSU's student body was as good, where
(10:19):
some of their students were as good as very esteemed universities.
Because much like blacks in the fifties and sixties who
went into the military or the post office, these are
guys that probably should have been way above that station
in life where they ended up pay wise, leadership wise,
(10:41):
but because they were black, they were held back. So
you would see these guys that were beneath the accomplishment
and stature level of where they should have been because
of race, because it did matter then, and so they
were overqualified for the position where they were a lot
of things changed, the pendulum changed. TSU ended up becoming
(11:06):
a place where black politicians could could get their beek wet,
where the white statewide officials. You'd have your white governor
and he'd put the people on the board and they
were gonna it was going to be like this charitable circuit.
In Houston, there was a president named Priscilla Slade, and
(11:29):
Priscilla Slade was the best thing that happened to the
university until she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
She came in and she was a socialite.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
She was able to She was able to get the
old white guys excited about this tired black university that
was now open to everybody, but still majority black in
third Ward, near near University of Houston. Nobody that was
helping her raise money had ever gone to that school.
(12:03):
It was the Jack Blanton crowd that was doing this,
and she was very good at getting them excited about
this project of Hey, we're going to have a HBCU
historically black college university that the.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
City can be proud of.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
And damned if these old white guys didn't didn't jump
in and with all, you know, everything they had and
support it. But then there every time there's a phase,
there's a there's corruption, there's theft, there's lots of money stolen.
And then you get to Rodney Ellis's and these black
politicians who say no, no, no, we don't want to state audit.
(12:41):
You see how much fraud there is the Minnesota Somali situation,
what what Elon was able to expose through DOGE. You
see these organizations and it's not all black, but a
lot of it is.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Where you get something that.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Is set aside as this will be a black thing
and immediately, and I saw this in politics, Sheila Jackson
Lee was the worst, although Rodney is smart enough to
keep his fingerprints off of it and run it much
better or more with more corruption. And you see these people,
(13:19):
they end up taking control of these things. They have
their people that they place there, which is their their sibling,
their spouse, their their frat brother, their sorrows sister, and
they put their people in these things.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And then let's say TCU.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
For instance, They've got to build a building, all right,
So they get their architect, and they get their concrete guy,
and they get their brick guy. And you'll see these
guys that come out of nowhere and all of a
sudden they've got a construction management company or an environmental
compliance company. And now all of a sudden, they you know,
they go from you know themselves to one hundred and
(13:57):
fifty million dollars in contracts overnight.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And it has nothing to do with how good they
are at what they do.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The guy who's really good at what he does, he's
working for some big company. I'm talk about the black
guy who does that. He's working for some big company.
And he wants no part of doing that TSU work.
So now we have it. This is what the third
or fourth time. It just keeps coming around in cycles.
The state auditor says TSU is unable to account for
(14:26):
millions of dollars in spending. I'm going to tell you
this isn't just the person who stole the money. This
is layers and layers. There's a lot of beaks getting
wet on this. There's a lot of people on a
deal like this who find out what's going on. There
(14:48):
are cocktail parties, there are checks written, there are people hired,
there are deals cut and oh, by the way, the
poor black kid that's going to TSU. Sorry, there's no
money for the actual education that was provided by the
state for you to learn. But God forbid me, pointed out,
(15:08):
I'm the races. Okay, that's the way it has to be.
K show you with the story.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Texas Southern University and hot Water tonight after it was
unable to account for millions of dollars in spending. It's
the result of a final report from the state auditor.
The top issues, According to the audit, the university overrode
safeguards to make purchases, buying things from vendors without first
completing requisitions that leads to budget overruns. TSU has also
(15:36):
not been doing an annual inventory, which resulted in the
loss of fifty assets totaling three point two million dollars.
The state auditor also says the university failed to get
timely and accurate financial data to the office. Lieutenant Governor
Dan Patrick, who called for a Texas Rangers investigation back
in November, posted on social media today quote, I will
(15:59):
do everything in my power to be sure that not
one additional taxpayer dollar goes unaccounted for. It is hereby dissolved,
mister Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well not about desert wraps are all up. Many Damage
was a hat maker.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Jerry Jeff bought hats from him, knew to be good
friends with him. He may not know the name, but
you know the hats if you've seen Lonesome Dove. The
famous Gus hat that Robert duvall Or was made custom
made by Many Damage. He made Tommy Lee Jones's hat
for the same movie. But the Gus hat is the
one that is most famous. What I love about Jerry
(16:43):
Jeff Walker and you either get this or you don't.
And I don't suggest that you're less a person if
you don't get it. It just means you you have
an experience the or you may not be that kind
of person. What I love about the Texas Red dirt
music and these guys were the first wants to really
introduce it in this way. Is it storytelling songs about
(17:07):
things they're doing that are not written to be played
in Nashville or on radio. They're almost a diary, a pickin' diary.
And if you ever crossed paths, I mean Luke and Back,
got too big, got bigger than it probably should have
ever been. But it was William Whaliam's outlaw phase and
and you know so that you got to expect that's
(17:29):
going to happen. But these these moments are just they're very,
very special. And I think that's what Joe Eely represented.
I was not the biggest Joe Elee fan up because
I didn't like him or the flat Landers. I just
hadn't been exposed to that same way I had Robert
Earle or Jerry jeff or Charlie Robinson or you know
(17:51):
those sorts of things. But what I love about that
style and genre of music is you can tell that
Jerry Jeff Walker is sitting there having the hat made
and says, must write a song about Manny. And he
didn't care if you know who man he is, and
he didn't care if you buy the album, and he
didn't care if you sing along. He wanted to write
a songboy his buddy Manny. I have a friend named
(18:15):
Malcolm Hitchcock, and I was a Jerry Jeff fan but
had not heard the album when I got to be
friends with Malcolm Hitchcock. He had a bar in what
he called sanm Pedro, but he's English and they can't
get accents in Belize, and the bar is called Fetos
fid O, spelled like fidos. And Malcolm's claim to fame
(18:39):
is he was a British sailor. He ended up in
British Honduras, which became Belize, and in his travels around
the world and drunken revelry of everywhere he went, he
decided he wanted to come back to British Honduras, which
became of course Belize. But he had to make the
money because he wanted to own a bar on the water.
(19:01):
So he was a roadie for Eric Clapton for years,
and he got into set making, set production and built
up to having his own company.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Wasn't a big company, but he's quite the craftsman.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And he built the scene in Titanic when they're down,
when they're down in the in the bottom is at
the galley. They're down under the belly of the ship.
I don't have the vocabulary for it. And they slammed
the doors and the water comes washing in and they
have nowhere to go, so they they drown. He created,
(19:36):
like a ride at an amusement part a way that
that water could fill and then just the way it
would go up on a on a on a you know,
on its edge, and that would drain the water out
that way they could keep shooting that scene. He created
that and that landed him his actually highest paying gig,
which was more than Titanic, which was doing a Marlborough
(19:59):
Man spot for who was the bond guy? Was it
Pierce Brosnan? Was that the guy's name? Pierce Brosnan? You
I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah? Okay, So a.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Japanese company hired him to build the set and the
idea was Pierce Brosnan.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I feel like I'm not saying his name right, but.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Whatever would be like Godzilla walking through Tokyo.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
He would tower over the city.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But that meant he had to build a replica of
the city that was smaller than Pierce Brosnan because you
didn't have CGI back then. So he got three million
dollars for that, which was a fortune. So his assistant Mary,
his production assistant, He marries her, sells the business, sells
all the sets that he's saved of, moves to Belize,
(20:48):
buys a little shack, no air conditioning, and builds by
hand this Tilapa roofed bar called Feedos. And if you've
been to San Pedro, you've been there. Well, Jerry Jeff
had been going down there, and he discovers his place
and he becomes drinking buddies with Malcolm Hitchcock and he
does an album. It's called Bathing Suits and Cowboy Boots
(21:11):
and I had never heard it before, and Malcolm said,
you're from Texas. Yeah, you ever heard Jerry Jeff Walker. Yeah,
I've met Jerry Jeff Walker. Because when I was mayor
pro tim, I used to get proclamations away as one
of the ways I would get to meet people.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
And I'd met him multiple times. We weren't best friends,
but he knew me. I knew him.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I'd never heard that album before. And he plays it
and he says, this is about my bar. And there's
interviews letter where he tells that it was that bar
on Front Street, and he talks about Skinny Dennis, the
guy who played there on Thursday nights. He did a
residency in all these different things. But what I love
about that album it is he talks about drinking coffee
(21:47):
out on the long dock, out into the water that
was Malcolm's house.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
He would go.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He would stay with Malcolm, and he would go out
every morning before no matter how late he stayed up
and got drunk, he would wake up first in the morning.
Malcolm would have coffee there waiting for him, and he'd
take his cup of coffee and go out on the
long dock. Morning's on the long dock he talked about
in the song. And I love the fact that he
basically just took the beautiful things around us that were
(22:14):
not special to anyone else, not famous, but he found
a way to express himself about the life he was
living in a way that you could choose to join in.
And even though you weren't on the long dock, or
you weren't at the bar on Front Street, or you
didn't know skinny dentnis.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You kind of knew a skinny dentist.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
He just might be in Chema or Jamaica Beach or
April Sound and everybody kind of knew that sort of person.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Or Lake Somerville Rama. Anything else gonna work at Lake Somerville?
And did you lose a boodhist Michael Berry? Almost god fella,
Bobby writes.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
If I had a clock repair shop, my slogan would
be if it doesn't tick, talk to us.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's pretty good, Lee writes, hobby for Andy the clockman.
Remember we were trying to figure out what else we
know that because I said he's got five more hobbies.
You said he's a Lutheran deacon. No way, he's at
deacon at the Nazarene Church.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
She's so right, She's so right. Number two.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
He collects Depression era green glassware. He's an expert and
has been asked to speak on glassware specifically made in
Texas and Louisiana. That's Lee from Portland. I don't know
how she has such insight, but that is genius. Not
only does he collect green glassware, but he has in
fact been asked to speak about it. And when he
(23:51):
is described by his wife's friends to others as an
expert on green glassware, he doesn't all shucks, keep going,
all shucks.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh, don't keep going.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yes, Daniel Schwartz says Andy is also into stained glass
could be, could be, But I definitely see the collection
of green glassware.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I definitely say that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Reagan Drodty, former DPS troopers, says, I bet Andy Sharpen's
knives on the side, and he also cooks at the
local k C hall.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's definitely some volunteerism in there. And there is some volunteerism.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
That's one off because if he has a minute, he'll
go do something. But there is volunteerism by which you
could set your watch. Stuff that he's very proud of.
He's done every year. Truth in the matter is, you
could do without every Rod Yellis and Sheila Jackson Lee
and Sevestro Turner. You could do without every Tim Waltz
and Supelosi, Joe Biden. You cannot have America without Andy,
(24:55):
and we underestimate how important that is. You you can
have a church without a famous preacher, you can't have
a real church, the old style country church. I don't
mean these megachurches that are just a TV show. You
can't have that church without Horton McCabe, my friend Kraig
McCabe's dad, or JT.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Brumley, or Archie Boy. There was Archie Boy and Archie Girl.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Because there was a couple, they were each named Archie
and so they were known as Archie Boy and Archie Girl.
You have to have people like that to have a church,
to have a town, reserve deputies, volunteer fire departments, serve
on the water district, and not actually rip people off.
You wouldn't do the Little League. You wouldn't have anything,
(25:42):
but for those kind of guys and their wives do
the cookbook. My wife took every cookbook that my mother
and grandmother had because nobody else in the family wanted them.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And it's the old spiral cookbook, you remember those.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
The thing would be plastic, often it be read and
the paper would be she's got every one of those?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Did.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I don't know if I told you this or not,
but about a month ago I come home and I
walked through the door and she says, h sit down.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I need to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And I don't think one of my kids have died
or whatever, because there's a slight tinge of maybe this
is a joke, but not sure.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You know, maybe George is pooped in the living room.
I don't know. Something said down. I need to talk
to you. She said.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There is a scandal and I need to discuss it
with you. I need you to be aware, okay, And
I'm going to make up the name because I don't
actually remember the name, and if I did, I wouldn't
say it because Orange is a small town. She said,
Trudy Trusdelle has engaged in a terrible crime of plagiarism.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And I said, what she said, open it up? She
had it.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
She had a post it note, page fifty seven, and
I opened it up and there was Trudy Trusdell's family recipe,
banana nut brownie, whatever it was. So I looked at
it and I looked through it, and I said, okay.
She hits me the Duncan Hines, the box of Duncan Hines.
(27:17):
She said, read that recipe out there, or better yet,
read along, and she reads the Duncan Hines recipe for
the banana nut brownie. And as she reads each thing
using exactly the same verb of whip this and curdle this,
and do this exact same Trudy Truesdale had put in
(27:40):
the old First Orange Cookbook, which is supposed to be
for you that all your grandmothers, Miss Vivi and Pivoto. Amber,
Pivoto's grandmother who lived across the highway from us, and
she cooked at the at Olph, I mean at mac
Lewis Elementary. I never saw miss Pevto not in hairnet,
(28:01):
and Miss Pivotot had had a sauce spot for me.
If Miss Pivotoad had her way, I would have married
her granddaughter, Amber, beautiful girl, by the way, if she'd
had her way out of married Amber.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
And when you.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Would go in so Thursday with Burger Day, when you
would go in on Burger Day, she'd wait till nobody
saw it. She'd have in a napkin wrapped up for
me my extra hamburger on there. And I don't know
if you remember wrong, maybe y'all didn't have this, But
somehow the FDA had determined that somebody was going to
get paid to inspect the meat of all the poor
(28:34):
white kids in Southeast Texas.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
So there was a shot of blue dye in there.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So when I come up with a premature cancer, before
y'all blame it on the liquor and the cigars and
the red meat and all that, check on the blue dye,
because that blue dye didn't help things. Let's be very
clear on that. That did not help things. Thursdays was
the burger and a little piece of chocolate cake, and
(29:01):
Miss Peeveto would hold back one tray that was already
made and it would have two pieces, and it was
the corner slice because she.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Knew I liked that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, if you could get hold of Miss Peeveto's recipes,
because she was making good food using the slop they
brought into the school to she was adding things to
that to make it better. If you could actually go
to her house where she had the olio margarine and
where she had the crisco, and where she had the
(29:34):
stuff like my grandmother did, and she could cook the
way she wanted to cook. And even though my wife
did not grow up that way, my idea of a
good time, that's why we've always had a place out
in the country.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Carmen near round Top, and.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Then welder on the way to Louis, on the way
to Saint ANTOI is my wife will tell you. I'm
never happier than to get in the truck on the
weekend and start driving when the roads have opened up,
get on it ten or two ninety and put my
Robert Rurow and then start telling her the story behind.
(30:12):
You know, who was Marianno, and what's John t Floores
and what's Billy Bob's who was this character?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And what a Schaefer beer was when Charlie.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Robinson, you know, and where Bandero was and all that
sort of stuff and nothing makes me. And during times
like that, I would tell her about dishes when we
grew up, and lo and behold scandal of all scandals,
Harper Valley Pta level stuff. Miss Trudy Truesdale had literally
taken from and you know what happened. She probably got
sick or her husband's in the hospital. And every all
(30:44):
the submissions were due, and they were like, Trudy, if
you're gonna put your band and up brownies in the book,
we have got to have it by eight because they're
sending it to the print shop over on Green Avenue
in downtown Orange and we got to have it in
by eight and she got panicked and she sat down
and in that old lady handwriting, they're all right, the
exact same way she hand wrote out the Duncan Hines
(31:05):
recipe and didn't have the good sense to change even
one thing.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
And my wife.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So here's a girl from South India named none of
