There's no 170 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: markings on the truck. You know, they could be sex 171 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: trafficking people in that thing. You'd never know it. Do 172 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: what they do, I bet you they take our limbs 173 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: down to Mexico and they bring the illegals up in it. 174 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: You know how the Chinese had to figure out what 175 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: they were going to do because they were sending all 176 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,599 Speaker 1: those boxes over here, those containers, and they had to 177 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: figure out what they were going to do with them. 178 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: And then Texans just started saying, well, you know what, 179 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: I got some land on the side of the freeway. 180 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: We'll just stack them up and sell them to the 181 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: farmers out here. I bought one of them one time, 182 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: those yeah, the Chinese containers. I bought one out of 183 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: our place in Carmet. The best thing I ever did. 184 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: It was a whole lot cheaper than if you go 185 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: to I wouldn't go to a big box store like 186 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: that because you get terrible customer service. But if you 187 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: go to a home depot or lows like people do, 188 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: and you have them come out and build one of 189 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: those little uh, those little shops that you know, they 190 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: always have them out in front of the home depot, 191 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Go price one of those things sometimes like six or 192 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars. Are you kidding me? Okay, So we 193 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: know that they're listening in. That's why when you've been 194 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: talking with your buddy about the most random thing in 195 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: the world. Right, you're like Eddie Martini played third base 196 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: for Archbishop Rummel and once got in a fight with 197 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: two dudes at the same time, and he still talks 198 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: about it to this day. Right, So you're talking to 199 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: a friend of yours and that's the most random things. 200 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: You don't even know where Archbishop Rummel is. And then 201 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: the next day you log into say Facebook and they 202 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: go take a trip to visit Jamaica with the graduating 203 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: class of Archbishop Rummell. Wait a minute, there's no doubt 204 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: they're definitely spying on me. If the Israelis can put 205 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: a pager in your pocket, beep it for you to 206 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: look at it, and then blow you up, what do 207 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: you think? And by the way, it's a good thing 208 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: we make our own phones on American soil. Humh. Because 209 00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: we wouldn't want to have the Chinese have the capability 210 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: and one fell swoop to take us all out. That 211 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: couldn't happen, could it. That's something for you to think 212 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: about today. So anyway, last night I'm watching a documentary 213 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: on Pete Rose. I am obsessed with Pete Rose. Pete 214 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Rose is so good. People don't remember how good Pete 215 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: Rose was. They have no idea. Statistically speaking, it's like 216 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan's strikeout records. Nolan Ryan not only has the 217 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: most strikeouts. You can't pile up ten people and get 218 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: to his strikeouts. That's a little big exaggeration. So anyway, 219 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: it was this seventeen time All Star. I mean Pete 220 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: Rose's career. You can say what you want about the 221 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: off the field, right, but I'll bet you this that 222 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: dude has done more on a baseball field. I mean, 223 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: there's an argument he's the greatest player of all time. 224 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: There is an argument look at what he did and 225 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: how long you did it? And I say all that 226 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: to say this, My buddy Kenny Duncan Jr. At us 227 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: COINS had told me a while back he's gotten into 228 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: memorabilia big time, and so he sent me. This Celebrity 229 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: Mint launched his first ever Pete Rose Precious Metal Legal 230 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: Tender collectibles.

You know they have this 233 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: whole thing, which is how you know that what you 234 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: have is a real thing? Did you collect baseball cards 235 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: as a kid. I didn't collect baseball cards as a kid. 236 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: I got baseball cards, and I kept baseball cards, and 237 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: I pulled my baseball cards out and looked at my 238 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: baseball cards, and I studied my baseball cards, and I 239 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: memorized baseball to ten because I was obsessed with sports 240 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: as a kid. What I mean is I spent more 241 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: time with baseball cards than ninety five percent of kids 242 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: in American history. But I never used the word collect 243 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: them because half of them came into bubblegumbox and the 244 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: ones I bought were not very pennies. If I had 245 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: known that those were going to be very valuable collectibles anyway. 246 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: Celebritymint dot Com celebritymint dot Com Silver or Goals seventy 247 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: four ro When I'm gonna buy you one of these 248 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: and then eventually you go, look, I don't want this, 249 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: and you give it back to me.

Maybe on the record, 338 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: I forget where he goes exactly, but he said, I 339 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: was looking for a podcast to listen to, and you 340 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: mentioned American the History of English Language. And I've now 341 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: listened to all three hundred and seventy episodes and it 342 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: was wonderful and I'm going to listen to it again. 343 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: Brogan is a loanword with Celtic roots. Both the Irish 344 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: and scott versions of Gaelic used the word for a rough, 345 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: high topped leather shoe. What I liked as a wee 346 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: boy in East Texas was to watch my uncle Raymond 347 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: pull off the brogans and socks after a hard day 348 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: plowing behind a mule. That's kind of like hose al touve. 349 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to see what he called ToeJam, a vile 350 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: mixture of dirt and sweat that formed inside his well 351 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: used brogans and gave them a hearty odor. Uncle Raymond 352 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: would then soak and clean his gnarly feet in a 353 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: pan of fresh water. Ain't Lola had pulled from their 354 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: back porch water well. Uncle Raymond was my pal. He'd 355 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: let me drive his mule drawn wagon while he walked 356 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: along beside it pulling corn. Drive meant that I sat 357 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: in the wagon seat and held the reins while he 358 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: told the mules what to do with three magic words gee, 359 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: haw and woa, and one magic tongue click, which meant go. Now, 360 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: see that's a story right there, and you got a 361 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: little history on brogans. Uh, let's see. Let's go to Ferrin. Ferrin, 362 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: you're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, you got forty 363 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: eight seconds. Hello. 364 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: Well, I was calling to get some clarification on the 365 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: UH tax increase and the numbers that were reported that 366 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: based on four hundred thousand dollars, that a five percent 367 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 3: increase would equal to an additional one hundred and forty 368 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 3: dollars a year, and it just kind of sounds like 369 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 3: man math to me. Can you explain that to me? 370 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: I don't know how they calculated faar and I I 371 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: can't answer that question. I will only say generally, it's 372 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: my experience that whatever they say the number is going 373 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: to be, it's always going to be higher because you've 374 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: got to figure that a lot of people are getting exemptions. 375 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: You know, you have you seen your exemptions and those 376 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: sorts of things. So whoever's not getting that exemption is 377 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 1: getting hit even harder. 378 00:23:52,760 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 5: You are listening to the Michael Berry shows, you think 379 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 5: they threw down after this recording session. 380 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that any duet Otis or Marvin Gaye 381 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: did poor Conway for Holland Oates. I'm just kidding. I'm 382 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: just kidding. Well, I know I'm not really. 383 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 5: You know what oldis. 384 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 4: I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp. 385 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 5: That's right, you haven't even. 386 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: Got a Dudes, they get all sweaty. I got six like. 387 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: They look like they've been through war. When they came 388 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: out of a song, that was an effort they have. 389 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: They have roadies come up and give them a tie 390 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: wipe and all. I just came out of the boxing. Man, 391 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: I laid it off. You see something preachers do that. 392 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 3: T D. 393 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: Jakes does that. Oh my goodness, Okay, they listen to this. 394 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: Al Ebara says, the uh that that piece of equipment 395 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: that picked up the trash, the limbs and stuff, the debris, 396 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: that's an SPMT, a self propelled modular transport. He said. 397 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: That multi wheel trailer you were speaking of is an SPMT. 398 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: Our company uses these to transport huge modules to construction 399 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: sites or to shipping barges. Google this to see one 400 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: in operation. Why couldn't you google it and put me 401 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: a link in there? Goodness, you know we don't spend 402 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: enough time going to look at big heavy equipment. Ramon. 403 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 1: You know, when I drive past Doggit what's the guy's name, 404 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: Leslie Doggett, I think to myself, I don't think mister 405 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: Doggett is going to survive unless he's a sponsor of 406 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: our show. Oh sure, they make hundreds and hundreds of 407 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: millions of dollars per year, but you think about this, 408 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: they're like the little engine that could. If they can 409 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: do that without the Michael Berry Show, what could they 410 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: have done. It's always funny because if I mentioned somebody's name, 411 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: so much of so much of the old school advertising, 412 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: as it was called, was retail brands. Right, the master 413 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: at it is Mattressmac because everybody can be a Mattress 414 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: Maac customer, so you'd have Mattress Mac. But historically it 415 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: was it was car dealers and electronic shops, stereo systems 416 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: and those in waterbeds. That was the big deal, and 417 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: that was how the industry existed for a very long time, 418 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: and nobody ever thought of advertisers being anything other than that. 419 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: And slowly but surely I started saying, and to his credit, 420 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: Eddie Martinez was all in, Hey, our listeners are not 421 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: just consumers of retail products. Our listeners are the people 422 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: who are managing organizations, managing teams, running departments for heavy 423 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: industrial companies and for all in gas projects and all 424 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: these sorts of things, and nobody's talking to them. If 425 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: those people want to talk to people that might be 426 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: potential partners in business for them, they have to go 427 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: to the trades. That's all they got. So Eddie said, 428 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: we'll do it. We will do it. We'll find you 429 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: some people in that industry who love your show and 430 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: want to be a partner. And once we started doing that, 431 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: it was incredible. And it had never really been done. 432 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: If it's been done somewhere else, I don't know where, 433 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: but I know it hadn't been done in Houston, and 434 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: so slowly, but surely Hawkins least service great example. Will Hawkins. 435 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: What he does is you call him because you have 436 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: a project in a chemical plant, at a construction site, whatever, 437 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: and you need guys. You need to put guys on 438 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: a project and they can do most anything. And he said, look, 439 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: I said, explain to me what you do, because he's 440 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: a super fan. And he said, you know, I do this, 441 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: this and this. And I said, that's hard for me 442 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: to explain in just a few seconds, but I'll do 443 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: my best. And I said, I can't promise you you're going 444 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: to get calls the first month. And he said, mister 445 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: Barry I don't care if I ever get a call. 446 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: What do you mean? I love what you do. I 447 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: understand it's a business. When you say sponsor, I'm sponsoring. 448 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: I said, well, this is not a cha charitable donation 449 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. This is a business relationship. 450 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: I want we can be friends as well, but I 451 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: want to get results for you, because they're going to 452 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: have to hire somebody. And slowly but surely, when Lamont 453 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: came on board, to Lamont brands to they make like 454 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: industrial they do anything, they put your logo on anything. 455 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: But they started getting calls. They got a big multimillion 456 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: dollar contract from a big engineering firm in town. I 457 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: don't want to get the person in trouble. Who's there. 458 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: That person's head of procurement. Procurement listens to our show. 459 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: And they were about to put out a bid for 460 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: all this gear for their guys out on the out 461 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: in the field, on the platforms and all this. This 462 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: is a this is a multi multimillion dollar purchase of clothing. 463 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: And they had gone to the same people that had 464 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: always gone to that had answered the RFP, and they 465 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: reached out and said to Lamont, hey, why don't you submit. 466 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: We heard about you on the Michael Berry Show, and 467 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: let's see what you got. They they're going to win 468 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: the b and there you go. Ray Briers, great example 469 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: pipe yard. This guy buys and sells pipe on his 470 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: cell phone all day long. Now he'll buy twenty million 471 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: dollars a pipe at a time and sell off scrap 472 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: and do all this. But when we started with him, 473 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: he was another one that said, it doesn't matter if 474 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: I get results. My wife is a super fan of 475 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: your show. She wanted me to sponsor it. You know, 476 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: hearing you brag on what I do is that's good enough. 477 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: And he's become a good friend out of the deal. 478 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: And he has probably made more money off our show 479 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: than any single sponsor because some abandoned pipelines called in 480 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: and boom, Republic Grand Ranch, same thing. I'm not really 481 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: sure why I said that other than the brag. Was 482 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: there a purpose of that whole thing? Just just raw 483 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: dog brag and just unprotected bragging. Well, I guess that's 484 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: an art in and of itself, right, I mean, what 485 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: did Jimmy Baker say? James A. Becker the third Sometimes 486 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: one must toot one's on the horn if one wants 487 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: one's horn tooted. I mean it's worked so far. Oh, 488 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: I know what it was that we want dog At 489 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: Enterprises to sponsor us. We used to have Mustang Cat. 490 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened over there. We need a 491 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: big and I want to talk about big industrial equipment 492 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: and then sell some of them and then maybe we'll 493 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: just go hang out and drive stuff around the parking 494 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: lot and stuff. Oh hell yes,
