1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. Have mercy, I'm

3
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: told by Tom Stark of the National Appraisal Partners with

4
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: offices in Texas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, Wisconsin. He is a

5
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: partner there, Thomas A. Stark Czar. A one to four

6
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: unit mortgage is classified as a residential loan, which requires

7
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: a far lower down payment and has a lower interest rate,

8
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: among other things, while a five unit more btgage is

9
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: classified as a commercial loan, which requires a much larger

10
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: down payment and has a higher interest rate. Well that

11
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: makes all sense in the world, now, doesn't it. So

12
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: she was classifying what should be a commercial loan with

13
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: a higher down payment and a higher interest rate as

14
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a residential loan, so lying and claiming there are only

15
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: four units when in fact there are five. Now, when

16
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: the appraiser came out and would have said Ms James,

17
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: there are five units, not four, it says four here,

18
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: she would have said, I'm the Attorney General. I would

19
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: to heard I am redeemed and freed abanities US and

20
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: you will say there are four units, or I'll have

21
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: your job, because that's how it works. See rules for THEE,

22
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: but not for me. And those rules for THEE. Oh,

23
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: they're going to be stiff because we like to have

24
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: rules because then we can prosecute you and cause you

25
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of problems because we're the type of good

26
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: for nothings that get into the government because we couldn't

27
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: make it in a private sector. Jackson Lee went to

28
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: work at Fulbright when she ran for judge three times

29
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: and lost in the eighties. And I've talked to people

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: who worked with her there and Oh, they don't want

31
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: their name used. Please keep me out of it because

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be mentioned. What if in never mind,

33
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: never mind, just never mind. Since we had to do

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: some monkey pots at STD and STI humor, we're going

35
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: to clean up the show for the last hour and

36
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: we will open the airwaves to a little more wholesome humor,

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Little Southern Baptist humor. This is by Kerrie Clark. It's

38
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: called the Southern Baptist Bra.

39
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: This man walks into a Dillergs department store, goes right

40
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: to the Lingeride department, goes to the sales associate and said,

41
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: I need to buy my wife a bra, a Southern

42
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: Baptist bra. She's a thirty four bait. The sales associat

43
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: looked a little bit used and said, you want to

44
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: buy what kind of bra? The man said, a Southern

45
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: Baptist bra. My wife said, you know what she meant.

46
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: The lady said, we don't get as many requests for

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: that as we used to. She goes on to say

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: that many of her customers as of late want either

49
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: a Catholic bra, a Salvation Army bra, or a Presbyterian bra.

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: Of course, he was confused, and he said, what's the difference.

51
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: She said, well, it's really quite simple. A Catholic bra

52
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: supports the massive, a Salvation Army bra lifts the balling,

53
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: and a Presbyterian bra will that one keeps some stalching upright.

54
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: He shook his head. He thought about that just a minute.

55
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: He said, I know I'm going to regret asking this,

56
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: but what does a Southern Baptist braw do? She said, well,

57
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: that one makes mountains out of mole hills.

58
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't be bad.

59
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Happy Thursday, have mercy tell me you're on the Michael

60
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: Berry Show.

61
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: Go ahead the issue on the phone here. I'm looking

62
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: for your email address, but good I got you anyway.

63
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: I live in Marble falls, and we have trouble with

64
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: our water system up here. I'm in the ETJA and

65
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: once the city has the water system that is led

66
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: by the city council, they don't have a boarder, director track.

67
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: So what that means is we don't have to say so,

68
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: we don't vote. We ain't a whole office. Yet they

69
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: can do things to the Congress. Lets them do things

70
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: to us that we can't control, like great case expenses

71
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: and an appeal. They can get theirs back whether they

72
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: win or losing. We don't even get an opportunity right

73
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: so it coercis you and straddling mediation. But the truth

74
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: of the matter is is that that doesn't the appeals

75
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: for us is it should not even exist because according

76
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: to the law, the jurisdiction over us should belong with

77
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: the PUC. It says so in the law. Yet the

78
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Congress won't recognize that. We just had we spoke Monday

79
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: to the water Board, the Water Rural Land Border stummate.

80
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: We have two bills up and they gut it right

81
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: case bill. They changed it from it was supposed to

82
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: change to we both have equal rights. Whoever wins or

83
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: lose to get it city, whoever got to them was

84
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: right before. We didn't know about this, and we got

85
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: to the to the meeting and they changed it where

86
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: we both get equal chances to where the city can

87
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: get their back whether they win or lose, which is ridiculous,

88
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: but they wouldn't. They won't address the other one, which

89
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: would have clarified the law that exists now. It says

90
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: that the PUC has original inclusive jurisdiction over us, and

91
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: they won't address it. And we've been We took four

92
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: years to develop a point of a report. We gave

93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 3: it to them and explains everything, and we try to

94
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: get the Senators to give us an opinion from the

95
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: general from the Attorney General's office, and they don't know

96
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: how to do that either. What we want to do,

97
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: we're asking you, is can you help us get to

98
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: the right people to take a look at this. So

99
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: that's some kind of resolution, because we're in a situation

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: where we're getting text.

101
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: How many of y'all don't do how many there are you?

102
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: There's we're fifty water meters and we're right to the

103
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: adjacent to the eastern edge of Marble Falls. We were

104
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: the original ETJ for forty years. They charge it's the

105
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: same as the city. And then when they passed a

106
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: house built three forty seven where he couldn't force the

107
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: annex anyone anymore, Well, then they hired a consultant come

108
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: in here, tell them how to develop alternative income sources.

109
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: And that's what we are. We're an unintended consequence of

110
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: House Bill three forty seven, which was a good bill.

111
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it. Let me give you a fort

112
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: to give you some sort of general advice because there

113
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: are a lot of people similarly situated across the state

114
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: with similar issues. Let me start with this. There are

115
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: two ways to handle a situation like this. Throw out

116
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: everything you already know about this. A lot of people

117
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: go into things like this with a very naive approach

118
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: that the system works. The system does not work. The

119
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: system is not built on justice and fairness, and everybody,

120
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: that's not how anything works. That's like saying every youth

121
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: football game starts off even and either team will have

122
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: a chance. That's not true. The team that's bigger, stronger, better,

123
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: coach has played longer together. Those teams are going to win.

124
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: They're going to win every time. So the only way

125
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: you win is to learn, get better coaches better, players,

126
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: practice longer, train longer. So you cannot go into a

127
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: process like this thinking that, well that's what the law says.

128
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: Laws are not self enforcing. There are two ways you

129
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: approach something like this. Are you Either you hire a lawyer,

130
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: or you hire an activist, or you become the activist.

131
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: So Danny g and Francesco the other day, the fellow

132
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: whose daughter was beat up by the football player, I said,

133
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: what you need as a lawyer who calls a lot

134
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: of hell for Katie id And it might not be

135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: the first day you punch them in the face. It

136
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: might not be the second, it might be the third, fourth,

137
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: fifth of the but they'll get tired of being punched.

138
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: And while they're being punched, they also have lawsuit coming

139
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: out of me. He said, well, I don't want a

140
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: clout chaser, And I said, you don't want to win.

141
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: You want the cloud chaser. You want something. There are

142
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: people to take this case for free, for the clout

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: they'll get out of it, and you're not comfortable with that.

144
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to win. You ask for my advice,

145
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you're going to get it. And my family and friends

146
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: have come to learn you're not always going to like

147
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: it because I have a very different approach to things

148
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: than most people and think I'm probably more like Bill

149
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: Belichick and Nick Saban. Nobody really likes Bill Belichick and

150
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. But you like to win, and people who

151
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: win at what they do are very rarely the people

152
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: who do so nicely. Donald Trump has made a lot

153
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: of enemies because of fearlessness and what might look like

154
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: recklessness and understanding that winning is everything we've had for

155
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: too long. The types of people are supposed leaders who

156
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: chronically lose John McCain, Mitt Romney, John Bain or Paul Ryan,

157
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, and these people, they range from doing nothing

158
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: to outright losing because they don't want to fight. Fights

159
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: are ugly. Not everybody applauds you when you fight. The

160
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: people around you, closest to you will say, do we

161
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: have to do this? Yes, we do. It's important. And

162
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: you understand that doing the thing that's necessary to win

163
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: and doing the thing that brings the most heat, the

164
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: thing that creates the most awkwardness, those are two very

165
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: different things, and you have to choose one. So people

166
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: will come with me, come to me in a whisper tone, Hey,

167
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: we have this problem over here. Can you help us

168
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: solve it? Yeah, let me rip them a new ass

169
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: on the air tomorrow. I have it solved. By noon,

170
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: they'll be calling and begging you for me to stop

171
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: talking about Oh no, we don't want to do that. Okay,

172
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: then why did you bother me? Because that's how I

173
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: resolve problems. Oh no, no, no. We want to have

174
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: a meeting with people, and then from the meeting, they'll

175
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: send us, their staffers will show up. Then we'll have

176
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: more meetings. We'll have more meetings, and eventually they hope

177
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: we will go away like has always been done throughout history.

178
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: How about we do that? How about you not asked

179
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: me to help? How about that? So he really as

180
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: an average citizen to have two approaches. One approach is

181
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: you gather, you harass online, or publicize whatever word you

182
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: want to use. You keep a story in the news.

183
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: You can hate, quant a lux all you want. He

184
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: gets a lot of things for them. There's a reason

185
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: people hire him because he gets them what they want.

186
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because people don't want to be

187
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: in the news. They're scared. Most people are just trying

188
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: to keep their head down and not be noticed and

189
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: not be criticized because everybody that's in the news with

190
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: a negative story, they think, well, that guy's a bad guy.

191
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: He's in the news, and they don't want to be

192
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: the bad guy that's in the news because they're not

193
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: the person who's ever been the bad guy in the news.

194
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Once you've been the bad guy in the news, you

195
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: grow skin of leather. You don't care about being the

196
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: bad guy in the news, and you stop believing everything

197
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: you're told. You know what, maybe Trump didn't do those things,

198
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a lie. You start to look at

199
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: things very differently. Maybe those January sixth folks were maybe

200
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: they were set up, maybe they were entrapped. Maybe that

201
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: didn't happen the way they said. You start looking at

202
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: the world differently. But people don't want to cross that rubicon.

203
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: They just want to lead that quiet life and not

204
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: be noticed. Because they've done something wrong in their lives.

205
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: They don't want that to be brought up. So they

206
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: want to quietly resolve things. And they have this trust

207
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: And I feel bad because very naive, but it's good natured.

208
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: They have this trust that the system will work work

209
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: if I show up to that dead burned meeting and

210
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: not tell them I'm so mad. I'm so mad. I'm

211
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: just gonna do it. I'm the father of this daughter

212
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: and she's been wronged and I'm so mad, and y'all

213
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: are gonna take this meeting with me. We're not taking

214
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: the meeting. You will take the meeting. Okay, we'll take

215
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the meeting. I showed up and they weren't there. They're

216
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna hear from me. How they're gonna hear from you, Well,

217
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write a letter, and that's not gonna matter. Remember,

218
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: there's usually two points of influence. In the case of

219
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: the two kids at Katie, You've got the black community

220
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: out there waiting. If you punish that black kid, we're

221
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna swoop in on you. Administrators will make your life hell.

222
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: If you don't punish him and piss off all the

223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: white parents, then you'll just have them to deal with.

224
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, they're not gonna bring the heat

225
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: because they're not, and we know they're not. They're gonna

226
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: maybe post a Facebook you know, a closed Facebook circle,

227
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: and people think I'm gonna ask for saying that. That's

228
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: not the intention. Look, if you're not putting a good

229
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: team on the field. You're not called in good plays,

230
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: you're not playing your heart out, You're not gonna win.

231
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean I don't think you're a decent person. I

232
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: want to win. I learned to play that game from

233
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: the Sheila Jackson Lee's I learned to play that game

234
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: from the people who win. I see how it works.

235
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: It makes you called bad names in some circles. But

236
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: winning is everything. That's the way it works. If you

237
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: don't want to try that approach, the other approaches, you

238
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: hire a lawyer. Now, let me explain something about lawyers,

239
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: because this seems to be misunderstood. People don't go to

240
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: a restaurant and go, hey, y'all serve food here? H

241
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: Could I get some free Oh?

242
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: What?

243
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

244
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a kind deal where I want to,

245
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, hire you and do a long thing and

246
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: all that. Could you just kind of give me a

247
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: free meal, you know, just enough to get me through

248
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: this hunger pang I'm going through right now. But that's

249
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: not how it works. Now, it's not a big deal,

250
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: and we're already here. Let me just let me just

251
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: run this by in you tell me what to do,

252
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, just give me some food, you know, just

253
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: you got something. You got a bunch of it right here.

254
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: But you unders this is what we do for a living.

255
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: What do you do for a living? Would you like

256
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: to come over and do that for me for free?

257
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: It's weird, It's really weird. Hey, I notice you're a doctor.

258
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Could you just come over to my house. I don't

259
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: want to hire you. You don't do the whole doctor

260
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: patient filling out to pay. Could you just come over

261
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: to my house this evening and treat me just for

262
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: this issue I have right here? Just see if I

263
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: got a problem and all that, and then I mean,

264
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, eventually, if it turns in, I might end

265
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: up hiring you down the road. So I find it fascinating.

266
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: People will spend money on most everything, vacations, clothes, stupid stuff,

267
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: dumb stuff, eating out, whatever. They'll spend money on anything

268
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: and everything. Don't expect them to pay a penny for

269
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: legal fees. But don't you understand the whole reason to

270
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: go to law school and train and do all go

271
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: take the bar, do all those things is so that

272
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: you could sell your advice. Yeah, I just want this

273
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: one free. Could you just get us an attorney? Do

274
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: it free? Do you ask people to come over and

275
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: mow your Hey, I notice you're cutting that the yard

276
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: on that side of me and that side of me.

277
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: You're already here, you are. Could you just real quick

278
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: cut this grass for me?

279
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: Real quick?

280
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: Why do people think it's appropriate to pay for everything

281
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: else in society? But there should just be some lawyer,

282
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: you know. I don't want to hire you. Just just

283
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: answer all my questions. Do you understand what you're doing there?

284
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: You wouldn't go into the doctor and go, hey, I

285
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: don't want to pay for this visit and all that.

286
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: I just want to come in here. You just tell

287
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: me if I'm a die or not. If I'm gonna die,

288
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: then maybe I'll hire you to solve the bigger problem.

289
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Last two segments positive ending. Ramon's dog passed today. Harrison,

290
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: tell me the breed and name and how many years

291
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: of your dog you lost? Quickly? Be ready to go

292
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: right to it. Seven one three, nine nine, nine, one thousand, Gunner.

293
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: Boy, I like La Goodberry.

294
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: Sure, Danny Mayo wrote that song.

295
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 4: If you get it there, it's a.

296
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Great, great song. Only a dog owner could write that song.

297
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Danny Mayo didn't do anything else in his career. Oh,

298
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: except write Keeper of the Stars for Tracy Bird, which

299
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: was Song of the Year in nineteen ninety five at

300
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: the Country Music Association, and some songs for pirates, the

301
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Mississippi Confederate Railroad and Alabama. And just so you know,

302
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: if you write a song that Alabama or George Strait record,

303
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: that's going to be a million dollar royalty at a minimum,

304
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: at a minimum. Roger Creiger told me years ago Strait's

305
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: people had reached out to him for a song he

306
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: had written, and he said, of course, of course, I

307
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: want you to write it. And he was told off

308
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: the record, it's typically a million dollars for the songwriter.

309
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: If King George records your song in royalties, it may

310
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: take a couple years, but it's a million our paycheck minimum.

311
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: Now that you write the chair you know, uh, what's

312
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: our buddy's name with the glasses and long hair. He

313
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: just did. He and Tracy did a show for us

314
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: in the studio that wrote all those songs. Double Deed

315
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: uh a Dylan, Dean Dylan, good Lord Dean Dylan made

316
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: so much money. There was a woman that posted this

317
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: week her she was at the UH. She's working the

318
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: drive through line at the dairy queen and George Straight

319
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: pulls up. She takes she takes a selfie over her

320
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: shoulder through the window and he's sitting there like with

321
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: a chester cat grin in his truck. He's just ordered

322
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: and they told what he ordered. I'll find I'll find it.

323
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: Rachel sent it to me. It's it's uh. She gives

324
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: his whole order and it's pretty cool. I mean, he's

325
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: a good sport about it. You gotta be right, but

326
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: you gotta figure everywhere he goes. Sometimes he just wants

327
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: to be left alone. And he's so obviously distinctively, charmingly

328
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: perfectly George Straight. And you know, people, can we just

329
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: have a photo? Sure I hadn't done that sax one

330
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two times today, Michael, you're complaining, But

331
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: he signed up for that. That's the one that gets

332
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: you every time. Yeah, he's signed up for that. Ramon

333
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: told a story about his dog Harrison passing, and I

334
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: wanted you to give an opportunity to give the name

335
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: breed and how many years you had your dog will

336
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: make it a lightning round. So but we can make

337
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: it a lightning round with a nice dog theme. You've

338
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: got a nice sentimental. You know, am I getting a massage?

339
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: Or has my dog died? Stop music? You know, water trickling?

340
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like you're not really sure?

341
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: If you just tuned in, you figured out Ramon, David,

342
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: you're up. Go ahead.

343
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 5: We lost our seven year old German shepherd last year

344
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 5: in July. She went by Davy Duke. She had a

345
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 5: inoperable tumor growing off of her heart and it eventually

346
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 5: closed off her a order she went on across the bridge.

347
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 5: Are like crazy, Of.

348
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: Course you do, Of course you do, Jennifer, go ahead, sweetheart.

349
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, We lost our dog blue Bell last year.

350
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: She was a blue pit bull sixteen and a half

351
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 6: and she was a rescue and then she was actually

352
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 6: pregnant when we got her and we didn't know. And

353
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 6: we still have the runt of the litter, who is

354
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 6: now fifteen.

355
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: That's cool. What is a blue pit bull?

356
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 6: Yes, well that's what people call it. I guess she's

357
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 6: kind of more like a.

358
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: Gray silver color, like a smurf.

359
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, just like that.

360
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: Paul, You're all on Michael Berry Show.

361
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 5: Lost my black lab Sig two years ago.

362
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: She was eight.

363
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 5: The handsomest to be dumb as the box rocks. You know,

364
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 5: things fall out in the unfright oppos head.

365
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Is there a sweeter dog than a lab Maybe a

366
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: cocker Spaniel. We grew up with cocker span as. We

367
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: had one named Happy, she was black, an African American,

368
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: and a blond cocker named Honey. And then my wife

369
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: and I had a cocker Spaniel who we named she

370
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: named Ronnie. Ronnie is Queen, which where you get Maharaja

371
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: as the big king and Maharani is a big is

372
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: a big queen. I'm always interested when people say they

373
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: adopted a dog. People love to tay they adopted a dog. Oh,

374
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: y'all didn't have her naturally. What does that mean we

375
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: adopted a dog? Does that mean you didn't pay for it? Okay,

376
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: you don't get credit for that adoption. It's not like

377
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: fostering or anything. Fritz, you're on a Michael Berry show?

378
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Are you German? Dad was mama's Italian? Oh? The Italian

379
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: hold on. The Italian Prime Minister is visiting with President

380
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: Trump today at noon. And this is a huge deal

381
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: because this is a split with the European Union, and

382
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: what Trump is trying to do is wedge US between

383
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: those European Union countries and cut individual deals with each

384
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: country so that as a market they don't have the

385
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: power we do. And this is a big, big step

386
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: that this gloriously beautiful and smart woman, the Prime Minister

387
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: of Italy, is willing to come and cut an individual

388
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: deal in violation of EU protocols. This could open the floodgates.

389
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: This could be the Bellweather deal. All right, Fritz, you

390
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: go ahead with your dog brother.

391
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 5: Third Ranger, Golden Retriever, thirteen years, three months, two.

392
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: Weeks ago today, I had to put it down.

393
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: The backy already was.

394
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: Seasoned violently today it was rough no two weeks ago today.

395
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: Oh dude, if you call in on the day you've

396
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: had to put your dog down and you keep it together,

397
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: I mean I already know, I already know I would

398
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: like you because you named your dog Ranger, and your

399
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: name is Fritz. But if you were man enough to

400
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: do that, said trifecta right there, that is a tri factor.

401
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: If he could do all three of those, solid call Donnie,

402
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: you think you can get all three in real quick,

403
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: Donnie Goiser.

404
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 5: He was twelve years old and he was a golden

405
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 5: retriever never dug a day in his life.

406
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: Never his name was Kaiser loved Lebron.

407
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 7: That's awesome.

408
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: Closing time when you're listening to the Michael Berry.

409
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 8: Shows, Nice money, This is nast day.

410
00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: The world is full of evil, disease, betrayal. There are

411
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: a few things in life that are beautiful to remind

412
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: us of the glory of God. That is old people,

413
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: young people, and dogs. Ramone told the story this morning,

414
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: which was how we started the show, and we'll end

415
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: the show with your calls about your love lost of

416
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: a dog, reed and how old it was. But this

417
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: was the story that got us started.

418
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 7: Fifteen years ago. The quiet One picked us while the

419
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 7: others in the litter were all yap yap, yap, and

420
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 7: the quiet one just sat there still watching. He wasn't

421
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 7: any more adorable than the rest, but he had something else,

422
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 7: something steady, so we picked him, the quiet One. For

423
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 7: fifteen years, longer than our boys have even been a love,

424
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 7: that little kavapoo, the size of a shoe box, brought

425
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 7: us joy, frustration, belly laughs, and all the messy emotions

426
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 7: you know I ever expect to get from a dog

427
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 7: until it's too late to imagine life without him. Our

428
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 7: boys came along in twenty fifteen and twenty eighteen, and

429
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 7: the quiet one was there standing sentry like an old

430
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 7: soul who knew his job before anyone told him. The

431
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 7: boys took to him right away. So many memories, too

432
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 7: many to remember. And that's the deal you make with

433
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 7: your best friend. He barely ever barked. We could count,

434
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 7: literally on two hands, the number of times we heard

435
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 7: his voice. But always he watched, he cuddled, or he

436
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 7: just sat alone, content in the silence. Today we say

437
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 7: goodbye to the quiet little Kabapoo. So tonight, drink the

438
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 7: good whiskey, fight the good cigar. Take ten seconds, and

439
00:24:53,160 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 7: in your softness whisper say that's a good boy, Harrison, good.

440
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Boy, Jimmy name breed. Number of years you're up. Hopefully

441
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: we'll get some nice music underneath this.

442
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 9: So it's nineteen seventy six. I'm twelve years old. We

443
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 9: have a black lab named Noel. My parents had just

444
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 9: gotten divorced and it was just me and my dad,

445
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 9: and Noel was my best friend, probably three years old.

446
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 9: When he follows me up from the neighborhood. I was

447
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 9: shooting basketball and he got it and we tried to

448
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 9: put him in a cast, but that didn't go so

449
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 9: well and we had to put him down a week later.

450
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 9: And never forget Noel.

451
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: That was fifty years ago and you still remember it,

452
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: and it's still chokes you up. Think about the bond,

453
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: think about the bond we have with dogs. We think

454
00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: about that fifty years ago, you still get choked up. Incredible.

455
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: You know the officer that was killed at Bresoria County,

456
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Shaff's deputy that was killed recently and the dog was wounded,

457
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: and it kind of pissed me off. Well maybe because

458
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: my brother was a sheriffs deputy. I don't know why

459
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: that people seem to care about the dog that had

460
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: been wounded more than the deputy with a family that

461
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: had been killed. And I had a number of people

462
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: say to me, well, the deputy signed up for the danger,

463
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: the dog doesn't all these sorts of things. And on

464
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: occasion I get angry how people love their dogs more

465
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: than human beings, and I think that's probably one of

466
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: the problems with our society. You know, you can beat

467
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: the snot out of somebody and beat them to death

468
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: in the street and people will walk along. But you

469
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: beat a dog and they'll film you and chase you

470
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: and make sure you're prosecuted. And there's something wrong with

471
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: society about that. Not because we need to love our

472
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: dogs less, but we need to love each other more.

473
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: If people had the love for each other or that

474
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: they do for their dogs, you can love your dogs

475
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: just as much you already do, love them more, but

476
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: have that same respect for human life. Melanie, you're up,

477
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Go ahead, all right, Michael.

478
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 10: We had a ten year old Beagel Waitwiler mixed and

479
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 10: she was such a good dog that awfully, she would

480
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 10: walk right beside me, would never take off, unlesf I

481
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 10: gave constructions to take off. She knew that we were expecting.

482
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 10: Before we knew we were expecting she would.

483
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: I want to get everybody in here. I want to

484
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I want to get everybody in here.

485
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: Name breed, number of years. Please do not call our

486
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: show on a blue tooth. We cannot hear you. It

487
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: makes for bad audio. Please don't do that. Not that

488
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: she did. Dennis, you're up. Name breed, number of years?

489
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 11: Yeah, thanks, Michael is. Actually two dogs died on the

490
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 11: same day last year. One was a chocolate lab mix

491
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 11: named Jack.

492
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: Thirteen.

493
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 11: The other one was an Alaskan husky named Rico that

494
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 11: was also thirteen. Rico is a beautiful dog, not very smart.

495
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 11: Jack was an ugly duckling, extremely smart. He had all

496
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 11: kinds of cancer though on his leg and everything. And

497
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 11: so I was on the vet here in Brenham with

498
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 11: a vet talking about putting him down. Decided I was

499
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 11: going to put him down that day heard a terrible

500
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 11: whale from the back porch and the Alaskan husky it

501
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 11: had some kind of aneurysm.

502
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: Or oh, what a horrible day, Amber Europe, sweetheart, Go ahead, yes, sir.

503
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: This is fresh for us when we lost our dog

504
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: about two and a half weeks ago.

505
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 5: Marco, a teacup Chihuala fourteen and a half years old.

506
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: My side kick.

507
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: We've had two teacup Chihuaalas Boucci and Nick Knack over

508
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: the course of thirty years, one for seventeen, one for thirteen,

509
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: and I maintained they're the best alarm dogs ever because

510
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: they can't actually hurt anybody. Those dogs could tell the

511
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: difference between somebody walking up the driveway in a limb

512
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: falling or tree leaves. They if those dogs if either

513
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: one of those teacup Chua was barked. You knew there

514
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: was something going might not be a threat, but it

515
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: is a human being and they are approaching your house.

516
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Love those dogs. People say that little is it good?

517
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: You just say whatever you want. They're great dogs. Teacup

518
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: Jualas are fantastic. Joe, you're up.
