Uh, 56 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: they're learning all of that and they I think that's 57 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: I think that's fantastic. 58 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: Let's go to Perry Perry, You're old Michael Berry Show. 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: What's say you, sir? 60 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 5: Hey Michael, I saw you had a uh yeah, go ahead, No, 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 5: this one's spelled with a y, not an hour Okay. 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 5: But anyway, the a while back you talked about you 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 5: had a segment on a place called Lucas Bakery, and 64 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 5: you did a little. 65 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 4: Segment about it. It's been around for seventy five years 66 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 4: or so out in Lagrange. Anyway, I stopped by there 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: this morning and had the best pig in a blanket 68 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: I've ever had. That place is phenomenal. And that is 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: that ends Lucas Bakery in Lagrange. 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I think I was there when I 71 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: posted about it. 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I don't know. You had a 73 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: segment on radio about how it wo for sale and. 74 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: All, oh oh oh yeah right off the town. 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: Yes, okay, now I remember, yeah, the fellow that owns 76 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: that was selling it, and I don't know if it 77 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: was him or what it happened. I think they ended 78 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: up closing that down. I don't think they found a 79 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: buyer because you know, with the deal like that, it's 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: got to be an owner operator. You know, it's not 81 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: going to be an investor. They don't throw off a 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: lot of cash. And and that's the real trouble for 83 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: for little communities. Thank you for the call moment. 84 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: That is. That is the thing I think. 85 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: Communities, especially rural communities, often overlook is when you drive 86 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: to Walmart because you know, maybe they have a broader 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: selection or whatever. Else, when you go to Houston to 88 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: try the hot new thing that the TikTok reviewer talked about, 89 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: because that's going to impress your girlfriends. When you buy 90 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: from outside of your community, then that little shop that 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: needed a high percentage of the local people to shop 92 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: with them, to shop with them, and you don't do that, 93 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: then you lose it. And once you lose it, that's 94 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: not a business that that a savvy investor wants to buy. 95 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: Those are labors of love. You know. 96 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: There's a there's a guy out in Belleville. I forget 97 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: what his name is, but he he Uh he cooked 98 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: for the Swiss family Robinson or the Sound of Music family. 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: What Uh? What was the Adleweis family's name? 100 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 5: Jim? 101 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: What the von Trapps? 102 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Yep, he cooked for the von Trapps after I think 103 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: he went to c i A for culinary school. And uh, 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: that guy gets out of school and goes to Belleville, 105 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: I believe it is, and sets up a shop. That 106 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: the shop has a number in it, like seventy nine 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: oh seven, it's whatever the address is. And so here's 108 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: this guy making world class food in the little tiny 109 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: town of Bellville. 110 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: This just doesn't happen. 111 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: And there are some some well to do farmers and 112 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: ranchers in the area who I think they I think 113 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: they practically donate to the restaurant to keep it afloat, 114 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: because when that's gone, you can. 115 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: Be left with with dairy. 116 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: Queens, which is fine, but that's not where you want 117 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: to go on your Friday night date night. It's not 118 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: where you want, you know, your special occasion to be 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: and so it's hard for little communities to sustain a 120 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: place like that already. It's got to be a labor 121 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: of love. It's got to be someone with a tie 122 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: to the community. It's got to be someone that's that 123 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: has the the capital to get started and often the 124 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: capital to stay in business. So somebody's wife that the 125 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: that the somebody is making money himself already because they're 126 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: just not sustainable, these small businesses in small towns, and 127 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: that one Lucas Baker had forgotten that story, but I 128 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: don't know that they ever found a buyer. And so 129 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: then you know, five years later, you drive by and 130 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, you can see what used to be and 131 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: you've got nothing but memories of Oh boy, that place 132 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: sure used to be good. And that's not to beat 133 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: people over the head in the rural community, but you 134 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: have a greater obligation because you don't have the population 135 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 1: density to support the local businesses. And if you don't, 136 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: it's very, very hard to find somebody to come in 137 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: and run that business. 138 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: Again. 139 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: I think that family, if I remember correctly, I think 140 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: they were just cycling out. I think that he was 141 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: the last of the family members, and they'd been doing 142 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: that forever, and I think he just got tired. 143 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: You see that. 144 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: You know, there was a tex Mex restaurant in Beaumont, 145 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: and Corey Crenshaw sent me a message of hey, if 146 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: you know it was a Monterey house on eleventh and 147 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: so I immediately called Russell Lebar and he said, yeah, 148 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: I'll look at it because he's looking to put a 149 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 1: restaurant in Beaumont or or poor Arthur, he's been looking. 150 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: You can't find the right place, but he's been looking 151 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: for years for a location. And so his thought was 152 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: maybe if nothing else, we just keep the business building. 153 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: Because of what it is. I couldn't make it work. 154 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: But that was again that the dad died, the wife's 155 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's tired, and you know helped it perfect anyway. 156 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand. I don't 157 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: know if it was this week or not, or what happened, 158 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: but somebody, somebody sent me a video of Bosipha's on 159 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: stage and he's sitting down and he's playing and he's 160 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: talking to the audience and he said these, and he's 161 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: just dropping f bombs every other the's sb's they told 162 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: me to do a short set tonight because we got 163 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: lightning and it's raining and as he says this, it's 164 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: pouring down on him, and it says, I told him 165 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: to f off. These people work hard for their money, 166 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: they bought a ticket, they deserve a show. 167 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna give them a show.

We went into lockdown, 339 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: and everybody agreed. I've told you the story before, so 340 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: I'll make it quick. I was on city Council and 341 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: people were panicked over nine to eleven, and so an 342 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: item came across city council agenda that we had to 343 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: vote on, and it was an eighty thousand dollars trash can. 344 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: There were multiples of them, and I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, 345 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: what do we got here? And you know, they were 346 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: expended because we were getting all these federal grants for 347 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: homeland security, because all of a sudden, this money just materializes, 348 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: just like with COVID, and you know there's fraud in it. 349 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: So eighty thousand dollars trash cans. And so the airport 350 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: director was there, and it's a long running scheme that 351 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: the airport director is actually the CEO of a private 352 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: corporation that he gets to do all this and fly 353 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: all over and what about your day job? 354 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: This is the weirdest thing ever. Why do we allow this? 355 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: And so I said, hey, what are we doing here 356 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: with eighty thousand dollars trash cans? And he said, well, 357 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: this trash can is built for the new era. We're 358 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: in a new era. Now, we're always in a new era. 359 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: Everything has changed. We're in a new era. If somebody 360 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: drops a bomb into that trash can, that trash can 361 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: will not uh you know, explode and shatter everything and 362 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: send shards everywhere. That that trash can will internalize the bomb. 363 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: I said, that's a very impressive trash can. What if 364 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: somebody drops a bomb right beside the trash can, well, 365 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: they won't be able to do anything for that. Okay, 366 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: have we had a bomb put in a trash can? 367 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: This is this is a problem I wasn't aware of 368 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: because they took down the planes. No, but we fear 369 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: that may be the next thing. How'd they get the 370 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: bomb inside the airport to get to the trash cans? 371 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: Pray tell? 372 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: So the idea was so finally a staffer pulls me 373 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: the bak. This counseman, you do understand, this isn't local money. 374 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: This is this is a federal grant. And there's your answer. 375 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: This h in real money anyway. It's just play money, 376 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: get all of it you can. And so all of 377 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: a sudden you had companies that transitioned into making homeland 378 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: security stuff. 379 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: It didn't matter what it was. 380 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: Make a fidget spenter, call a fidget spinner a terror repellent, 381 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. And so you get government that just 382 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: lunges at this. Well, we created a panopticon that we 383 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: have been living in since it only gets worse by 384 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: the day, a cage of our own making this whole 385 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: tsa thing. 386 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 2: This is stupid. We don't have TSA at stays. 387 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: You know, if the bad guys want to do something, 388 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: you could go to the mall, and they do, but 389 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: we don't put TSA there. You could do this at 390 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: at a sports stadium. You can do it at schools 391 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: they do. Now, how about the locals. How about we 392 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: do what we do for schools, the school district take 393 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: care of it. How about the airport system take care? 394 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, Michael, Michael, I'm scared. 395 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: I'm scared. 396 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we don't know that they're effective at what 397 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: they do. We don't know they couldn't be more effective. 398 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: How about local communities. 399 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: Pay for it? Because here's still. 400 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: If you had a terror attack out of your community, 401 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: out of an airport, whoever is perceived to have been 402 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: responsible for it is going to pay for that dearly. 403 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: There's your Pinto, there's your unsafe at any speed. The 404 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: Pinto was sunk over the crashes the corvet. I mean, 405 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: you see this happen. Let the marketplace respond. So now 406 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: the one thing that government can do to slow you down, 407 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: they've done. Why oh they can't get the budget passed. 408 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: But didn't this just happen a few months ago. Yes, 409 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: this is what we do. Now we just keep passing 410 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: it for a very brief period of time. The thing 411 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: about it is, this isn't a bug in the system. 412 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: This is the design. If they had their way, that 413 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: have you held up in every aspect of your life 414 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: all the time, so that they have complete control over you, 415 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: and they can argue you've got to vote for them. 416 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: Now. 417 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: I'm happy to push this on the Democrats as happy 418 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: as the next guy. But do I believe that the 419 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 1: Republicans should have gotten this bill passed? 420 00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. 421 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: I believe that the John Cornyns and John Thones and 422 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: Lindsey grahmdesty Lindsey Graham is overslobbing Zelensky in Ukraine or 423 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: in Israel or in Saudi Arabia, and. 424 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 2: We got people here. He suffering because he's forgotten who 425 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 2: he's supposed to serve. Continues on The Michael Berry Show. 426 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: I've always considered country muses to be the white man's blues. 427 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: That's why I don't care for the bubblegum country of today. 428 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with it. I'm not saying there is. 429 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: I understand a lot of people like it, and that's fine. 430 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: It just doesn't appeal to me. But the stories that 431 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: Hank tells are stories he's lived, and there are stories 432 00:25:52,560 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: that other people have and do and will live. And 433 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: he brings a sort of solace to the suffering of misery, privation, difficulty, penury, divorce, loneliness. 434 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 2: Isolation, sickness, death, cancer. It's just amazing to me. 435 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: And what's incredible is that so few people do that. 436 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: So few people write songs like this, And this is 437 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: why that's once. Once you tap into that kind of music, 438 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: it's hard to find a lot of the modern stuff. 439 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: Most of the modern stuff, to me, it's hard to 440 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: find any real connection to it. 441 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 2: It doesn't speak to me. 442 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm not living up in a holler with my wife 443 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: and six kids and eight coonhounds and a shotgun, running 444 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: a trot line. I'm not saying I am, but it's 445 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: a life I've seen. It's a life I know exists. 446 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: It's a life that's real. It's life I know people living, 447 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: and it's a life that doesn't make for modern country songs. 448 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 2: And I find that to be very very compelling. 449 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna go, Rick, Marcia and Joy if 450 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: I think that's the order.

Our 473 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: schools could do this. FFA does do this. Obviously, there 474 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: are other organizations.
