Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very show is on the air. It's awesome.
(00:35):
I know you don't listen to the commercials during your break,
but the iHeart promo about Elf Beauty with Corey Marchasoto.
I don't know what the woman looks like, but she
sounds exactly like Lena had Algo. And maybe all liberal
dummy women just talk like that. There's just this dumb emptiness,
(00:59):
the awkward pauses where pauses don't belong. Maybe I'm just
cranky today. Listen. I read that for our occasional reminder.
This is a reset. This is your occasional reminder of
how the show works. I don't know if anybody cares
(01:23):
about the behind the scenes, but I believe people do.
I like to know the behind the scenes. I've been
in more kitchens in Houston. It's bragging, I know, but
it's true. Then everybody but a food inspector and a
and a food delivery man. I enjoy going into the kitchen.
I enjoy. You know, there was a guy that Uh,
(01:48):
I can't remember his name. He owned el Superior, UH
text Maxx. He's the founder of His name is ken Uh.
He might be getting him confused with Edgar with Edgardo. Anyway,
he's the founder of Pink's Pizza, which he made a
fortune on. I mean I know the number, and I'm
(02:12):
not authorized to tell you, but he sold all his
restaurants to an outside interest. And if the number, if
I remember the number correctly, I can't tell you how
much it is. I can tell you it was more
than sixty nine. Man, it's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. They
(02:35):
were bought out by the CFO of Raisin Canes out
of Baton Rouge, who was trying to buy and pack.
He was trying to hit the next big Raisin Caines,
and Pink's Pizza was his was his way to get there. Anyway.
He had a series of very successful restaurants, Pink's Pizza
being the biggest among them in the Heights. And he
(02:58):
had a restaurant, a diner they're closing it called Lola.
It was a it was a diner. Without my opinion,
some of the things you most enjoy about a diner,
which is a Tom joneson repeat on the jukebox. Was
it John Mulaney that told that story What's Up Pussy Cat?
(03:19):
He played What's Up Pussy cat like twenty times on
the on the jukebox. It's a very funny story. It's
he tells it better than I do. It's history, not mine.
But you don't. You don't get all the grease and
the kind of run down. There's nobody smoke in. That
acrid smell of smoke is to me part of a
diner used to be a place on the seawall called
(03:40):
the Dutch Kettle. And my wife, when the kids were younger,
we would go down every weekend stay in the San
Luis that we had one room dedicated we stayed in
every weekend, and we got a steal of a deal
on it because it was a conference room and so
it had a conference table with about twelve seats at
(04:00):
it and it was never being used as a conference room.
And it had two pull out beds that had two
couches that made pull out beds. So no, it wasn't
your usual, you know, thick mattress. But we got it
so cheap, and we got we we we got it
every weekend. So we would go down, you know, let's
(04:20):
say there were twelve weekends in a summer. We would
go down probably eight because we go see my parents
and you know, you'd have something else going on, and
we would we would go down on Friday evening and
we would roll the windows down as we'd go across
the causeway, and Crockett couldn't say Galveston. He said Galiston,
no v. And we thought that was the funniest thing,
(04:42):
and he would laugh. We would laughing. He didn't know
why we were laughing. And to this day, if anybody
in our family says that word with a V in it,
I will say in a as a galistn't. And everybody
is required to say it in that in that manner
well as I, oh Dutch kettle lola. Oh. So back
(05:05):
to the story, there's a point to this ken whose
last name I cannot remember. This point decided he was
going to open a Text Mex restaurant. And let me
tell you something. When you walked in that Text Mex restaurant,
it was, without a doubt, think Cadillac bar redone, Cadillac
bar which temnones and it really never touched. He just
(05:29):
bought it and kept slinging cash out of it. Cadillac
bar is a is a stable cash flow, very positive,
set it and forget it kind of operation. You don't
have to try to, you know, reinvent the wheel. Just
just continue to be Cadillac bar. And then he opened
one down in Galveston. I don't know how that one
(05:50):
does anyway. So Ken opens his text mex restaurant and
he's got a room he collects zz top stuff and
almost all of it they gave him. So there's he's
made shadow boxes and this stuff is drilled into the
wall because people will steal your stuff. And it's shatterproof glass,
(06:13):
and I mean it's it's quality stuff, and it's you know,
this is the jacket Dusty whre here, and this is
you know what Billy gave him from, you know, movie sidewalks,
ears and all this sort of stuff. He had a
fountain drink machine with all Mexican, Mexican coat, Mexican grape,
(06:34):
Mexican orange. So he was so proud to show my
kids because you don't get that right, I've never seen
it before. I don't know how I got it. This
crap that they sell with the with the not seed oil.
What's it called corn syrup? Do you don't even want
to drink it? But this was all natural stuff. And
my kids went to get one and he goes, which
(06:56):
one are you gonna get?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
He had red.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I think the red was big red and the great
was knee high, and I mean it was, Oh, it's amazing.
Never I've never seen this in the modern era. And
he had thought through every detail. So the kids going
to get there drink. He was, wait, which one are
you gonna get? And Krocitt goes, you'll see Crockett is
a cocky little fellow. Poop boop, boop boop. He goes
down the line. Ken's head exploded. I think it was
(07:22):
all he could do not to grab the cup out
of his hand. You're gonna get one of everyone, I said, yeah, Ken,
that's called a suicide, don't you remember? Yeah, But then
you don't take you know, kids don't know any better.
That's what they do, all right. So he's got the
best decor of any taxpash restaurant in the Greater Houston
area at the time are most unique. How about that?
(07:44):
It's glorious. He wants me to try it, but they're
not open yet. So he calls me in a couple
of weeks and he says, hey, can you put me
in touch with Russell Leabarro. Sure, Russell will always take
a call. What's the problem, He said, I can't figure
out the rice. That's what do you mean? He said.
You know, people would come to my house over the
(08:05):
years and I make text makes at home and they
would always say they loved the rice. Yeah, problem is
you can't keep the rice. So I called Russell and
I said, hey, here's the problem. And he goes, well,
that's a secret we don't share. And that's a secret
that people never figure out. And they close and they did.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Just in here listening my erry.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
When President Trump was shot in Butford, Pennsylvania, there were
so many questions asked how the guy got on the roof,
why the local police officers were not allowed to participate
as they normally would be in a coordinated effort to
protect the president. There were so many failures in his
(09:00):
security that one can't help but believe, even if you're
not prone to conspiracies, this was planned and executed. One
of the things that sticks out was the incompetence of
the actual agents who were around him. Remember the fat
(09:21):
white woman that couldn't pull her gun out of the holster.
Maybe she never had, you know, it struck me that
pulling a gun out of a holster would have been
kind of thing that she would like to do on occasion,
just making some snap judgments. Big fat white woman with
(09:42):
her hair cropped up on the side, you know, low
like Shemp. You remember you didn't watch Three Stooges, did you?
You remember Shemp?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So Trump.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Had one of the Secret Service guys moved to the top,
and it reordered everything. I know some folks in Secret
Service that say it is a completely different organization today
than it was the day before Trump took office. Completely
you wouldn't recognize it. Well, here's the latest. Two female
(10:19):
Secret Service officers caught on video. I'm not going to
give you any other demographics throwing down with each other
outside of the Obama's home in DC. Are very perfect,
how very appropriate. One called for a supervisor to come immediately.
Quote before I whooped this girl's ass. Okay. A video
(10:46):
published by Real Clear Politics shows the female officers punching
and shoving each other. The Secret Service confirmed the video's authenticity,
saying in a statement quote the individuals involved were suspended
from duty and this matter is the subject of an
internal investigation. The Secret Service has a very strict code
(11:08):
of conduct for all employees, and any behavior that violates
that code is unacceptable. Oh not unacceptable, Ladies, y'all are
out here on the street, fighting, scratching, clawing. You don't
snatch her wig off. We find this to be unacceptable.
(11:30):
Now give her back her wig. Put your wig back on.
Y'all stand back up, and you stand over there, and
you stand over there, and y'all act like secret Service
agents protect to the president, because what y'all were just
doing is unacceptable. The New York Post notes, quote, this
is just the latest alleged alleged incident of bad behavior
(11:52):
in the Secret Services uniform ranks. Michelle Hertzig, who was
assigned to protect then Vice President Kamala Harris, was accused
of attacking a supervisor in April of last year after
he relieved her of duties when she allegedly began throwing
sanitary pads and screaming at coworkers. According to reports, Chad
(12:16):
did not include the follow up to that story. She
went for mental health counseling after that and was found
to be in quite the rage and quite unstable, and
had been for some length of time. As I understand it.
The kind of woman who sits at a bar slams
(12:36):
down a drink meat after a sip or two and
a gulp or two, and talks about men and the
horrible experiences she's had and how they're all terrible if
she likes men. Yeah, So apparently the one agent is
supposed to relieve the other agent and doesn't. And then
(13:01):
Susan posted the audio of the call asking for a supervisor. Well,
what you know, they can all hear that on their
I f B. Can you imagine you're standing over in
(13:24):
the corner, you got your suit on, You're standing straight
because you know one of it. It's like the King's guard,
you know when when you visit the palace. You know,
people like these folks, like the fact that you know
people stare at him. I'm gonna see that's the secret
he say, got that thing in his ear. That's how
you know he's a secret service. Hey son, You see
that he got he's that thing in his ear, not
(13:46):
called I f B. Yeah, they can all talk on there. Yeah, yeah,
you see that. You see his right hand that looks
like it's uh, it's in his jacket, but you can
see kind of the edge that's not his hand. His
hand is actually inside his jacket and he's gun. That's
a fake hen I saw that on YouTube. Yeah, that's
Secret Service agent. So he's over there being all Secret
(14:06):
Service agenty playing the part.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
And and and over the IFB comes this, you know,
I think.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
What they ought to do. I'm sure there are some
really good black women secret Service agents. Those should be
put over here. And you should take the lowest of
the black women secret Service agents and put them on
Kamala Harris. If you really believe what you preach, then
(14:44):
you got to put them over there because they deserve
to protect a vice president as much as the next guy,
don't you think. I mean, put your money where your
mouth is. Put your own security at risk. That's what
you need to believe. One more time. You know who
(15:05):
this girl's ass? She whoop her ass. You know she
snatched her wig. You know what happened? Ramo wants to
know if two black women fight and no one Yell's
world star, did it really happen? A good point. Do
you remember that time Shirley Cue Licker got into a
fight with the cafeteria lady. How you doing that's here,
Shirley ce Licker? Honey, Well, I was in a fight yesterday. Honey.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
You know that old pointy headed lady that got down
there working at that cafeteria. And every time I come
in there and she look everything on my trade, talking
about yeah, well just just steady make it come in
and she make there supposed to be serving food, not
serving attitudes. And she make all kinds of comments about
(15:51):
my dinner every night and uh looking at me like
wondering could I pay for it? And last night I
had all I could have took of it, and she
give me that look is that coming down her?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I took that train and just pop her head.
I wore it out. I'm high.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
I took that wig out of her head, sewed it
up in the hair and told how you jumped fort
That was no, no, we wasn't gonna have that no more.
We need to get that trade. Yeah, that me and
Hoo is good trends. Now we're going out to the
club tonight.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Looked at the mid yees wed.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Look you tell your mammy the mynd she did till
I see at the cafeterias.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Michael Barry Shaw, I'm going to fan car.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I want to get it up.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
A registered sex offender with ten felony convictions, has been
freed on a thousand dollars bond, which means you paid
one hundred dollars, you pay ten percent of the bond
by Harris County magistrate. Twenty five days later, he's arrested
(17:02):
for kidnapping a woman Box twenty six with the story.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Based on his criminal history, it wasn't a question of
will Arcade Como get charged with another felony, but when
his latest criminal charge came after being free from jail
just twenty five days, Arcade Como has quite a lengthy
criminal history.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Como has ten prior felony convictions, most of them violent.
One of them was for aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Almost all of his offenses have been violent in nature, assault,
aribay assault, a tempo, capital martyr, salt a family member,
secial assault of a child.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
He has to register as a sex offender for the
rest of his life.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Being a registered sex offender for life and having a
history of committing violent crimes, you would think Arcade Como
would be jailed under a six figure bond.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
They gave him one thousand dollars bond. A magistry digger.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yes, I'm going to I'm going wait a second, you're
missing a few zeros.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
My name is Sharon Chu and I will be your
Harris County criminal law hearing officer today.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I'm going to set you a cash bond at one
thousand dollars.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Sir, what's he gonna take is you gonna have to
go ahead and kill somebody before they actually do a
real bond on him.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Now, come on with Joe with no bond after being
arrested and charged with.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Kidnapping, another violent felony that was twenty five days after
a magistrate thought it was in the best interest of
public safety that he'd be given a low ball bond
and returned back to the community.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
This is what you're seeing in Harris County right now.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's got to end. Do you know the woman's name
is Sheridon Chou, which is a Chinese name. Do you
notice how many Chinese women are in public positions, first
generation and are extremely liberal, by which I mean very
(18:58):
anti law in you notice that this is not a
McCarthy's red list. I'm not saying they're communists, I'm not
saying they're an agent of the Chinese government. I'm just saying,
do you notice how many of them are you got
(19:19):
the mayor of Boston, you got the mayor of Oakland?
He had Fang Bang who was sleeping with Eric Swalwell.
I mean, you talk about taking one for the team.
You gotta love Communist China to say I'll sleep with
Swalwell because remember, if he farts on TV. If he
farts when he's got it pinched off as tight as
(19:42):
he can right on National TV. Can you imagine how
gassy that fellow is? Can you even imagine? Chris? So far,
the evidence is uncontradicted that the President used taxpayer dollars
to ask the Ukrainians to help them cheat an election.
Can you imagine what it's like you you're going on
(20:05):
a date because he's he's got a little four plague
going here, and your food comes out and it smells
like ass because he's just one after the other after
the other. My good, do you dog's fart wrong? George
is the gassest dog ever. And I will tell you.
(20:25):
I told Dennis Black, the owner of Rough Greens, I said,
you know what I ought to say on air is
that George used to stink up the lake. It was
a very common thing when Michael was in high school
to hear him go because she always went to him first. George, oh, man,
you already do. She's in a room with him and
(20:47):
she farted, and it's it's just awful, just awful smell.
All right, since rough Greens, she doesn't do that true story.
I'm not trying to gratuitously throw in a show sponsor,
but that happens to be true. He goes, let's leave
that one out. I said, Dennis, you don't understand. That's
the kind of stuff people remember. Nobody wants to trust me.
(21:09):
So we got a registered sex offender who has not
one felony conviction, not two, all right, not three? Man,
You realize how many times you got this guy? How
many victims he has? Not four, not five, not six,
not seven, not even eight felony. He has ten felony convictions.
(21:32):
He's brought before Sharon Shoe, the woman I mentioned, Harris
County Magistrate, and she says, oh, give us one hundred
bucks and be on your way. You get one hundred
bucks back when you show up to court, which will
be never so arcade como career criminal. Twenty five days later,
(21:54):
is arrested for kidnapping a woman. What were the chance
says that he would reoffend. Humph, what were the chances?
My brother told me years ago that he had learned
in school he studied criminal justice, something that turned out
to be as true as anything else. The highest rate
(22:17):
of recidivism is sexual crimes, because sexual crimes are not
really sexual. Sexual crimes are about control, and well, sexual
crimes are primarily about control. They're not primarily about sex.
And when you understand the need to control that that
(22:39):
person has the need to control and subjugate their victim. Now,
they generally start with assault that elevates to rape, and
that's when they get arrested and convicted. What they learn
from that, they do not learn from that, Oh, I
(23:00):
shouldn't commit right, They learned from that if I kill them. Meanwhile,
in Austin Senate Joint Resolution eighty seven has died. It
would have given a constitutional amendment for you to vote
that would require judges to automatically deny bail to suspects
accused of nine specific crimes murder, capital murder, aggravated sexual assault,
(23:23):
human trafficking if the person has been convicted of or
is out on bond for one of those offenses. But
you won't get a chance to vote on that because
it was killed in the state House. Remember those Republicans
that keep telling you that Michael Berry's crazy. We're not
(23:43):
in cohots with the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
To do Seki even pretty. Please please bring two lines
and give him a squeeze. That's how I like my
Mexican beer. Someone bring me up Pacifical. It makes me
feel magnific. I think we're probably drinking some while we're
(24:20):
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's all right.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
We love our Mexican beer. Or bring me some of
that Mexican beer, the Mexican water that I hold. Dear,
Tell and Howzard Bush to get out here and bring
me my Mexican beer. We love you. Please bring me
(24:51):
another Corona. I'm starting to feel all alone. Now make
sure it's from Southa, the Arizona. Import me some Mexican
be Please bring me a negroom Adillo. It gets Ramone
back there feeling kind of mellows.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Our bodies will be feeling like jello.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
We're all drinking Mexican beeby some of that Mexican be,
the Mexican water that I don't fear. Tell ramon Tic,
get some freaking limes down in here and get us
all some Mexican bey something useful.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Hey, rewind that thirty seconds and stop it. Mac semesto.
A small percentage of our audience knows Justice kin Wise,
and tell me I don't sound exactly like Justice kin Wise.
When I said do something, I can't repeat it, I
can't get no, do something, do something useful. Just listen
(26:06):
to for those of you who know ken Wise, tell
me this doesn't sound just like him, the mex.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Kin water that I don't fear. Tell the moon to
get some freaking lines down in here and get us
all some Mexican.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Be Do something useful, Do something useful. That's you know,
ken Wise, just like him, Just like I think we're
talking to Uncle Ted Ted Nugent tonight. I believe so.
(26:40):
So the State House, state Senate, the legislative session is
coming to a close and almost nothing conservative has been
or will be passed. The state House was the log jam.
Now they're gonna say, we got school vouchers, But here's
(27:01):
what nobody wants to talk about. They got school vouchers
by raising spending public education. Didn't fight school vouchers the
way they act like they did. That was all a show.
So you could think you got a win. You didn't
get a win. They didn't take money from the public schools.
(27:26):
They just added more money. Where do you think that
comes from. They didn't cut your taxes. So they'll all
come scattering back to Orange and Beaumont and Waco, and
they'll come back and they'll show up at church, and
they'll show up at the Rotary Club and the Kuwanas
and the Optimists, and they'll say, whoo.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Boy, it's good to be back out of the People's
Republic of Allston.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
And the people will chuck them. Man.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I tell you that place is crazy. I'm glad to
be back here between Texas and insanity is Butler would say,
I'm glad to be back with good folk a goodness.
Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be all representative.
But whoo man, there ain't an ounce of common sense
(28:16):
between that group. It's crazy. It's crazy. But y'all want
to know what we got done, and I want you
to know something. Uh, I'm as disappointed as you are.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
There's a lot of things I went there to fight
for we did not get and I'm just that's just
I'm frustrated. I'm aggravated. I'm not gonna give up though.
I'm gonna go back next time. I'm gonna put my
head down. We're gonna get back to work, because that's
what you do. You roll up your sleeves, you know,
you roll up your sleeves and you get to work
because you know what. The state of Texas is worth it.
(28:47):
And you know what, my daughter, my son, your daughter,
your son, your grandkids are worth it. They're worth it. So, no,
we didn't get everything. You know, there's a lot the
Democrats are a lot stronger, and people realize they're good.
They got lawyers and lobbyists and the old dad burned
(29:08):
group of them up there, and man, it's hard, you know,
and you know they of course they threatened me. Of
course they're gonna do that. Nobody knows who you are, dude.
They threatened me, and uh, you know, they gonna run
a candidate against me. Nobody cares. Dude, it's a ninety
percent Republican district. You're lying and you know they're coming
after me, you know, and you can't win. You know,
(29:30):
you got how I know I'm doing the right thing
is this guy over here says I'm too conservative and
this guy over here says, I ain't conservative enough, and
I figure I must be doing my job, you know
what I mean, because it ain't an easy job. You know.
I'm up there. I'm doing the best I can, you know,
because I'm representing people like you, you know, not special
interests and all that. Well, let me tell you something
that is all crap. They put Dustin Burroughs in as
(29:55):
a speaker. He then puts the committee chairman, including Democrats
as vice chairs, who functioned as chairman. We had the majority,
you got the majority of state reps, and they screwed you.
And the thing about it is, it ain't the screw
and it bothers me. It's not it's not the screw,
(30:17):
and it bothers me. The fact that they ripped you off.
That's not what annoys me. That can happen. That's the process.
But the process works where the people realize they've been
ripped off and vote that person out in the next selection.
Why doesn't that happen? You will hear a hundred reason
(30:38):
reasons why it happened. I'm gonna tell you why it happens.
The politics of personality. You get guy, let's say Mono
Diella great guy. I'm no Mono for twenty five years,
super nice guy. Everybody loves. Mono's brother was Kiki. I mean,
Mono's a great guy. Everybody knows Mono. Mono goes to
church with everybody. His why everybody likes his wife. By
(31:00):
life Mono, I mean on July fourth, he sends out
an email every year about our country and our independence,
what it means to him. By God, he got a
redneck accent, but he can be Mexican when he wants to.
I mean, you can't beat it. You just can't beat it.
And you'd think, you'd think he's going to vote exactly
what you want. He went up there to vote for
(31:21):
Dustin Boroughs and there wasn't any question that that's who
he was voting for, because that's what the lobby told
him to. The lobby is insanely powerful. And there's about
three groups that control the House. Three groups. You could
put those, you could put the decision makers of those
(31:44):
three groups at one booth at Denny's. They have not
accomplished anything for property tax reform, and they're not gonna
And the only bill they got out was vouchers, which
was which is a which is a tax increase, and
the governor is about to sign Senate Bill three, which
is a prohibition on him because the alcohol industry is
(32:04):
getting killed by people, including old people, people with chronic
pain who are taking the natural herb. And Dan Patrick,
who is supported heavily by alcohol interests, has just put
a knife in the steak. I have had more people
contact me over why are they doing this? This is backward.
(32:26):
Every state is headed toward legalization, and he is doing this.
This is this is the Neocon thing, not Maga. When
you're doing things that line up with the Ayatola Homani,
ask yourself, wait a second. What he just did will
hurt Republicans more than you can imagine
It's that time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very show is on the air. It's awesome.
(00:35):
I know you don't listen to the commercials during your break,
but the iHeart promo about Elf Beauty with Corey Marchasoto.
I don't know what the woman looks like, but she
sounds exactly like Lena had Algo. And maybe all liberal
dummy women just talk like that. There's just this dumb emptiness,
(00:59):
the awkward pauses where pauses don't belong. Maybe I'm just
cranky today. Listen. I read that for our occasional reminder.
This is a reset. This is your occasional reminder of
how the show works. I don't know if anybody cares
(01:23):
about the behind the scenes, but I believe people do.
I like to know the behind the scenes. I've been
in more kitchens in Houston. It's bragging, I know, but
it's true. Then everybody but a food inspector and a
and a food delivery man. I enjoy going into the kitchen.
I enjoy. You know, there was a guy that Uh,
(01:48):
I can't remember his name. He owned el Superior, UH
text Maxx. He's the founder of His name is ken Uh.
He might be getting him confused with Edgar with Edgardo. Anyway,
he's the founder of Pink's Pizza, which he made a
fortune on. I mean I know the number, and I'm
(02:12):
not authorized to tell you, but he sold all his
restaurants to an outside interest. And if the number, if
I remember the number correctly, I can't tell you how
much it is. I can tell you it was more
than sixty nine. Man, it's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. They
(02:35):
were bought out by the CFO of Raisin Canes out
of Baton Rouge, who was trying to buy and pack.
He was trying to hit the next big Raisin Caines,
and Pink's Pizza was his was his way to get there. Anyway.
He had a series of very successful restaurants, Pink's Pizza
being the biggest among them in the Heights. And he
(02:58):
had a restaurant, a diner they're closing it called Lola.
It was a it was a diner. Without my opinion,
some of the things you most enjoy about a diner,
which is a Tom joneson repeat on the jukebox. Was
it John Mulaney that told that story What's Up Pussy Cat?
(03:19):
He played What's Up Pussy cat like twenty times on
the on the jukebox. It's a very funny story. It's
he tells it better than I do. It's history, not mine.
But you don't. You don't get all the grease and
the kind of run down. There's nobody smoke in. That
acrid smell of smoke is to me part of a
diner used to be a place on the seawall called
(03:40):
the Dutch Kettle. And my wife, when the kids were younger,
we would go down every weekend stay in the San
Luis that we had one room dedicated we stayed in
every weekend, and we got a steal of a deal
on it because it was a conference room and so
it had a conference table with about twelve seats at
(04:00):
it and it was never being used as a conference room.
And it had two pull out beds that had two
couches that made pull out beds. So no, it wasn't
your usual, you know, thick mattress. But we got it
so cheap, and we got we we we got it
every weekend. So we would go down, you know, let's
(04:20):
say there were twelve weekends in a summer. We would
go down probably eight because we go see my parents
and you know, you'd have something else going on, and
we would we would go down on Friday evening and
we would roll the windows down as we'd go across
the causeway, and Crockett couldn't say Galveston. He said Galiston,
no v. And we thought that was the funniest thing,
(04:42):
and he would laugh. We would laughing. He didn't know
why we were laughing. And to this day, if anybody
in our family says that word with a V in it,
I will say in a as a galistn't. And everybody
is required to say it in that in that manner
well as I, oh Dutch kettle lola. Oh. So back
(05:05):
to the story, there's a point to this ken whose
last name I cannot remember. This point decided he was
going to open a Text Mex restaurant. And let me
tell you something. When you walked in that Text Mex restaurant,
it was, without a doubt, think Cadillac bar redone, Cadillac
bar which temnones and it really never touched. He just
(05:29):
bought it and kept slinging cash out of it. Cadillac
bar is a is a stable cash flow, very positive,
set it and forget it kind of operation. You don't
have to try to, you know, reinvent the wheel. Just
just continue to be Cadillac bar. And then he opened
one down in Galveston. I don't know how that one
(05:50):
does anyway. So Ken opens his text mex restaurant and
he's got a room he collects zz top stuff and
almost all of it they gave him. So there's he's
made shadow boxes and this stuff is drilled into the
wall because people will steal your stuff. And it's shatterproof glass,
(06:13):
and I mean it's it's quality stuff, and it's you know,
this is the jacket Dusty whre here, and this is
you know what Billy gave him from, you know, movie sidewalks,
ears and all this sort of stuff. He had a
fountain drink machine with all Mexican, Mexican coat, Mexican grape,
(06:34):
Mexican orange. So he was so proud to show my
kids because you don't get that right, I've never seen
it before. I don't know how I got it. This
crap that they sell with the with the not seed oil.
What's it called corn syrup? Do you don't even want
to drink it? But this was all natural stuff. And
my kids went to get one and he goes, which
(06:56):
one are you gonna get?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
He had red.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I think the red was big red and the great
was knee high, and I mean it was, Oh, it's amazing.
Never I've never seen this in the modern era. And
he had thought through every detail. So the kids going
to get there drink. He was, wait, which one are
you gonna get? And Krocitt goes, you'll see Crockett is
a cocky little fellow. Poop boop, boop boop. He goes
down the line. Ken's head exploded. I think it was
(07:22):
all he could do not to grab the cup out
of his hand. You're gonna get one of everyone, I said, yeah, Ken,
that's called a suicide, don't you remember? Yeah, But then
you don't take you know, kids don't know any better.
That's what they do, all right. So he's got the
best decor of any taxpash restaurant in the Greater Houston
area at the time are most unique. How about that?
(07:44):
It's glorious. He wants me to try it, but they're
not open yet. So he calls me in a couple
of weeks and he says, hey, can you put me
in touch with Russell Leabarro. Sure, Russell will always take
a call. What's the problem, He said, I can't figure
out the rice. That's what do you mean? He said.
You know, people would come to my house over the
(08:05):
years and I make text makes at home and they
would always say they loved the rice. Yeah, problem is
you can't keep the rice. So I called Russell and
I said, hey, here's the problem. And he goes, well,
that's a secret we don't share. And that's a secret
that people never figure out. And they close and they did.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Just in here listening my erry.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
When President Trump was shot in Butford, Pennsylvania, there were
so many questions asked how the guy got on the roof,
why the local police officers were not allowed to participate
as they normally would be in a coordinated effort to
protect the president. There were so many failures in his
(09:00):
security that one can't help but believe, even if you're
not prone to conspiracies, this was planned and executed. One
of the things that sticks out was the incompetence of
the actual agents who were around him. Remember the fat
(09:21):
white woman that couldn't pull her gun out of the holster.
Maybe she never had, you know, it struck me that
pulling a gun out of a holster would have been
kind of thing that she would like to do on occasion,
just making some snap judgments. Big fat white woman with
(09:42):
her hair cropped up on the side, you know, low
like Shemp. You remember you didn't watch Three Stooges, did you?
You remember Shemp?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So Trump.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Had one of the Secret Service guys moved to the top,
and it reordered everything. I know some folks in Secret
Service that say it is a completely different organization today
than it was the day before Trump took office. Completely
you wouldn't recognize it. Well, here's the latest. Two female
(10:19):
Secret Service officers caught on video. I'm not going to
give you any other demographics throwing down with each other
outside of the Obama's home in DC. Are very perfect,
how very appropriate. One called for a supervisor to come immediately.
Quote before I whooped this girl's ass. Okay. A video
(10:46):
published by Real Clear Politics shows the female officers punching
and shoving each other. The Secret Service confirmed the video's authenticity,
saying in a statement quote the individuals involved were suspended
from duty and this matter is the subject of an
internal investigation. The Secret Service has a very strict code
(11:08):
of conduct for all employees, and any behavior that violates
that code is unacceptable. Oh not unacceptable, Ladies, y'all are
out here on the street, fighting, scratching, clawing. You don't
snatch her wig off. We find this to be unacceptable.
(11:30):
Now give her back her wig. Put your wig back on.
Y'all stand back up, and you stand over there, and
you stand over there, and y'all act like secret Service
agents protect to the president, because what y'all were just
doing is unacceptable. The New York Post notes, quote, this
is just the latest alleged alleged incident of bad behavior
(11:52):
in the Secret Services uniform ranks. Michelle Hertzig, who was
assigned to protect then Vice President Kamala Harris, was accused
of attacking a supervisor in April of last year after
he relieved her of duties when she allegedly began throwing
sanitary pads and screaming at coworkers. According to reports, Chad
(12:16):
did not include the follow up to that story. She
went for mental health counseling after that and was found
to be in quite the rage and quite unstable, and
had been for some length of time. As I understand it.
The kind of woman who sits at a bar slams
(12:36):
down a drink meat after a sip or two and
a gulp or two, and talks about men and the
horrible experiences she's had and how they're all terrible if
she likes men. Yeah, So apparently the one agent is
supposed to relieve the other agent and doesn't. And then
(13:01):
Susan posted the audio of the call asking for a supervisor. Well,
what you know, they can all hear that on their
I f B. Can you imagine you're standing over in
(13:24):
the corner, you got your suit on, You're standing straight
because you know one of it. It's like the King's guard,
you know when when you visit the palace. You know,
people like these folks, like the fact that you know
people stare at him. I'm gonna see that's the secret
he say, got that thing in his ear. That's how
you know he's a secret service. Hey son, You see
that he got he's that thing in his ear, not
(13:46):
called I f B. Yeah, they can all talk on there. Yeah, yeah,
you see that. You see his right hand that looks
like it's uh, it's in his jacket, but you can
see kind of the edge that's not his hand. His
hand is actually inside his jacket and he's gun. That's
a fake hen I saw that on YouTube. Yeah, that's
Secret Service agent. So he's over there being all Secret
(14:06):
Service agenty playing the part.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
And and and over the IFB comes this, you know,
I think.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
What they ought to do. I'm sure there are some
really good black women secret Service agents. Those should be
put over here. And you should take the lowest of
the black women secret Service agents and put them on
Kamala Harris. If you really believe what you preach, then
(14:44):
you got to put them over there because they deserve
to protect a vice president as much as the next guy,
don't you think. I mean, put your money where your
mouth is. Put your own security at risk. That's what
you need to believe. One more time. You know who
(15:05):
this girl's ass? She whoop her ass. You know she
snatched her wig. You know what happened? Ramo wants to
know if two black women fight and no one Yell's
world star, did it really happen? A good point. Do
you remember that time Shirley Cue Licker got into a
fight with the cafeteria lady. How you doing that's here,
Shirley ce Licker? Honey, Well, I was in a fight yesterday. Honey.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
You know that old pointy headed lady that got down
there working at that cafeteria. And every time I come
in there and she look everything on my trade, talking
about yeah, well just just steady make it come in
and she make there supposed to be serving food, not
serving attitudes. And she make all kinds of comments about
(15:51):
my dinner every night and uh looking at me like
wondering could I pay for it? And last night I
had all I could have took of it, and she
give me that look is that coming down her?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I took that train and just pop her head.
I wore it out. I'm high.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
I took that wig out of her head, sewed it
up in the hair and told how you jumped fort
That was no, no, we wasn't gonna have that no more.
We need to get that trade. Yeah, that me and
Hoo is good trends. Now we're going out to the
club tonight.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Looked at the mid yees wed.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Look you tell your mammy the mynd she did till
I see at the cafeterias.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Michael Barry Shaw, I'm going to fan car.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I want to get it up.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
A registered sex offender with ten felony convictions, has been
freed on a thousand dollars bond, which means you paid
one hundred dollars, you pay ten percent of the bond
by Harris County magistrate. Twenty five days later, he's arrested
(17:02):
for kidnapping a woman Box twenty six with the story.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Based on his criminal history, it wasn't a question of
will Arcade Como get charged with another felony, but when
his latest criminal charge came after being free from jail
just twenty five days, Arcade Como has quite a lengthy
criminal history.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Como has ten prior felony convictions, most of them violent.
One of them was for aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Almost all of his offenses have been violent in nature, assault,
aribay assault, a tempo, capital martyr, salt a family member,
secial assault of a child.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
He has to register as a sex offender for the
rest of his life.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Being a registered sex offender for life and having a
history of committing violent crimes, you would think Arcade Como
would be jailed under a six figure bond.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
They gave him one thousand dollars bond. A magistry digger.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yes, I'm going to I'm going wait a second, you're
missing a few zeros.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
My name is Sharon Chu and I will be your
Harris County criminal law hearing officer today.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I'm going to set you a cash bond at one
thousand dollars.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Sir, what's he gonna take is you gonna have to
go ahead and kill somebody before they actually do a
real bond on him.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Now, come on with Joe with no bond after being
arrested and charged with.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Kidnapping, another violent felony that was twenty five days after
a magistrate thought it was in the best interest of
public safety that he'd be given a low ball bond
and returned back to the community.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
This is what you're seeing in Harris County right now.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's got to end. Do you know the woman's name
is Sheridon Chou, which is a Chinese name. Do you
notice how many Chinese women are in public positions, first
generation and are extremely liberal, by which I mean very
(18:58):
anti law in you notice that this is not a
McCarthy's red list. I'm not saying they're communists, I'm not
saying they're an agent of the Chinese government. I'm just saying,
do you notice how many of them are you got
(19:19):
the mayor of Boston, you got the mayor of Oakland?
He had Fang Bang who was sleeping with Eric Swalwell.
I mean, you talk about taking one for the team.
You gotta love Communist China to say I'll sleep with
Swalwell because remember, if he farts on TV. If he
farts when he's got it pinched off as tight as
(19:42):
he can right on National TV. Can you imagine how
gassy that fellow is? Can you even imagine? Chris? So far,
the evidence is uncontradicted that the President used taxpayer dollars
to ask the Ukrainians to help them cheat an election.
Can you imagine what it's like you you're going on
(20:05):
a date because he's he's got a little four plague
going here, and your food comes out and it smells
like ass because he's just one after the other after
the other. My good, do you dog's fart wrong? George
is the gassest dog ever. And I will tell you.
(20:25):
I told Dennis Black, the owner of Rough Greens, I said,
you know what I ought to say on air is
that George used to stink up the lake. It was
a very common thing when Michael was in high school
to hear him go because she always went to him first. George, oh, man,
you already do. She's in a room with him and
(20:47):
she farted, and it's it's just awful, just awful smell.
All right, since rough Greens, she doesn't do that true story.
I'm not trying to gratuitously throw in a show sponsor,
but that happens to be true. He goes, let's leave
that one out. I said, Dennis, you don't understand. That's
the kind of stuff people remember. Nobody wants to trust me.
(21:09):
So we got a registered sex offender who has not
one felony conviction, not two, all right, not three? Man,
You realize how many times you got this guy? How
many victims he has? Not four, not five, not six,
not seven, not even eight felony. He has ten felony convictions.
(21:32):
He's brought before Sharon Shoe, the woman I mentioned, Harris
County Magistrate, and she says, oh, give us one hundred
bucks and be on your way. You get one hundred
bucks back when you show up to court, which will
be never so arcade como career criminal. Twenty five days later,
(21:54):
is arrested for kidnapping a woman. What were the chance
says that he would reoffend. Humph, what were the chances?
My brother told me years ago that he had learned
in school he studied criminal justice, something that turned out
to be as true as anything else. The highest rate
(22:17):
of recidivism is sexual crimes, because sexual crimes are not
really sexual. Sexual crimes are about control, and well, sexual
crimes are primarily about control. They're not primarily about sex.
And when you understand the need to control that that
(22:39):
person has the need to control and subjugate their victim. Now,
they generally start with assault that elevates to rape, and
that's when they get arrested and convicted. What they learn
from that, they do not learn from that, Oh, I
(23:00):
shouldn't commit right, They learned from that if I kill them. Meanwhile,
in Austin Senate Joint Resolution eighty seven has died. It
would have given a constitutional amendment for you to vote
that would require judges to automatically deny bail to suspects
accused of nine specific crimes murder, capital murder, aggravated sexual assault,
(23:23):
human trafficking if the person has been convicted of or
is out on bond for one of those offenses. But
you won't get a chance to vote on that because
it was killed in the state House. Remember those Republicans
that keep telling you that Michael Berry's crazy. We're not
(23:43):
in cohots with the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
To do Seki even pretty. Please please bring two lines
and give him a squeeze. That's how I like my
Mexican beer. Someone bring me up Pacifical. It makes me
feel magnific. I think we're probably drinking some while we're
(24:20):
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's all right.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
We love our Mexican beer. Or bring me some of
that Mexican beer, the Mexican water that I hold. Dear,
Tell and Howzard Bush to get out here and bring
me my Mexican beer. We love you. Please bring me
(24:51):
another Corona. I'm starting to feel all alone. Now make
sure it's from Southa, the Arizona. Import me some Mexican
be Please bring me a negroom Adillo. It gets Ramone
back there feeling kind of mellows.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Our bodies will be feeling like jello.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
We're all drinking Mexican beeby some of that Mexican be,
the Mexican water that I don't fear. Tell ramon Tic,
get some freaking limes down in here and get us
all some Mexican bey something useful.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Hey, rewind that thirty seconds and stop it. Mac semesto.
A small percentage of our audience knows Justice kin Wise,
and tell me I don't sound exactly like Justice kin Wise.
When I said do something, I can't repeat it, I
can't get no, do something, do something useful. Just listen
(26:06):
to for those of you who know ken Wise, tell
me this doesn't sound just like him, the mex.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Kin water that I don't fear. Tell the moon to
get some freaking lines down in here and get us
all some Mexican.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Be Do something useful, Do something useful. That's you know,
ken Wise, just like him, Just like I think we're
talking to Uncle Ted Ted Nugent tonight. I believe so.
(26:40):
So the State House, state Senate, the legislative session is
coming to a close and almost nothing conservative has been
or will be passed. The state House was the log jam.
Now they're gonna say, we got school vouchers, But here's
(27:01):
what nobody wants to talk about. They got school vouchers
by raising spending public education. Didn't fight school vouchers the
way they act like they did. That was all a show.
So you could think you got a win. You didn't
get a win. They didn't take money from the public schools.
(27:26):
They just added more money. Where do you think that
comes from. They didn't cut your taxes. So they'll all
come scattering back to Orange and Beaumont and Waco, and
they'll come back and they'll show up at church, and
they'll show up at the Rotary Club and the Kuwanas
and the Optimists, and they'll say, whoo.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Boy, it's good to be back out of the People's
Republic of Allston.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
And the people will chuck them. Man.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I tell you that place is crazy. I'm glad to
be back here between Texas and insanity is Butler would say,
I'm glad to be back with good folk a goodness.
Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be all representative.
But whoo man, there ain't an ounce of common sense
(28:16):
between that group. It's crazy. It's crazy. But y'all want
to know what we got done, and I want you
to know something. Uh, I'm as disappointed as you are.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
There's a lot of things I went there to fight
for we did not get and I'm just that's just
I'm frustrated. I'm aggravated. I'm not gonna give up though.
I'm gonna go back next time. I'm gonna put my
head down. We're gonna get back to work, because that's
what you do. You roll up your sleeves, you know,
you roll up your sleeves and you get to work
because you know what. The state of Texas is worth it.
(28:47):
And you know what, my daughter, my son, your daughter,
your son, your grandkids are worth it. They're worth it. So, no,
we didn't get everything. You know, there's a lot the
Democrats are a lot stronger, and people realize they're good.
They got lawyers and lobbyists and the old dad burned
(29:08):
group of them up there, and man, it's hard, you know,
and you know they of course they threatened me. Of
course they're gonna do that. Nobody knows who you are, dude.
They threatened me, and uh, you know, they gonna run
a candidate against me. Nobody cares. Dude, it's a ninety
percent Republican district. You're lying and you know they're coming
after me, you know, and you can't win. You know,
(29:30):
you got how I know I'm doing the right thing
is this guy over here says I'm too conservative and
this guy over here says, I ain't conservative enough, and
I figure I must be doing my job, you know
what I mean, because it ain't an easy job. You know.
I'm up there. I'm doing the best I can, you know,
because I'm representing people like you, you know, not special
interests and all that. Well, let me tell you something
that is all crap. They put Dustin Burroughs in as
(29:55):
a speaker. He then puts the committee chairman, including Democrats
as vice chairs, who functioned as chairman. We had the majority,
you got the majority of state reps, and they screwed you.
And the thing about it is, it ain't the screw
and it bothers me. It's not it's not the screw,
(30:17):
and it bothers me. The fact that they ripped you off.
That's not what annoys me. That can happen. That's the process.
But the process works where the people realize they've been
ripped off and vote that person out in the next selection.
Why doesn't that happen? You will hear a hundred reason
(30:38):
reasons why it happened. I'm gonna tell you why it happens.
The politics of personality. You get guy, let's say Mono
Diella great guy. I'm no Mono for twenty five years,
super nice guy. Everybody loves. Mono's brother was Kiki. I mean,
Mono's a great guy. Everybody knows Mono. Mono goes to
church with everybody. His why everybody likes his wife. By
(31:00):
life Mono, I mean on July fourth, he sends out
an email every year about our country and our independence,
what it means to him. By God, he got a
redneck accent, but he can be Mexican when he wants to.
I mean, you can't beat it. You just can't beat it.
And you'd think, you'd think he's going to vote exactly
what you want. He went up there to vote for
(31:21):
Dustin Boroughs and there wasn't any question that that's who
he was voting for, because that's what the lobby told
him to. The lobby is insanely powerful. And there's about
three groups that control the House. Three groups. You could
put those, you could put the decision makers of those
(31:44):
three groups at one booth at Denny's. They have not
accomplished anything for property tax reform, and they're not gonna
And the only bill they got out was vouchers, which
was which is a which is a tax increase, and
the governor is about to sign Senate Bill three, which
is a prohibition on him because the alcohol industry is
(32:04):
getting killed by people, including old people, people with chronic
pain who are taking the natural herb. And Dan Patrick,
who is supported heavily by alcohol interests, has just put

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
