You had more of 20 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: the Antifa and left wing sorows white liberal uprisings. They 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: called it no Kings, and as it turns out, they 22 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: were successful. 23 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: We don't have a king. How about that? They succeeded. 24 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: A lot going on in economics in our economy. Over 25 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: the weekend and through this morning stocks point out had 26 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: highre She's been interesting day. 27 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: As stock futures rose. 28 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: You had the Israel Iran situation heating up to a 29 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: great degree, which means, of course that the markets get 30 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: skittish around the world on that because they don't like instability. 31 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: But it also means that American benchmark crude rises because 32 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: the expectation is you're going to have limitations on oil 33 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: coming out of the Middle East. On Friday, US benchmark 34 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: crew jumping seven point three percent, its largest weekly gain 35 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 2: since the October seventh massacre back in twenty twenty three, 36 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: which was a similar circumstance in terms of instability in 37 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: the Middle East. The price of gold, which is usually 38 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: pegged to instability and uncertainty in the markets, continued with that, 39 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: rising one point five percent to a record. 40 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: Let's just say, our friend Kenny Duncan Junior over at 41 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: US Coins is very, very busy these days because when 42 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: there is stock market volatility, commodity volatility, international war fears. 43 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: Volatility, gold rises immediately and he's the guy people go 44 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: to buy their gold. So I buy from to everybody, 45 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: I send everybody to what was interesting is that bitcoin 46 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: did not rise. Bitcoin should be, in theory pegged to gold, 47 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: maybe not dollar for dollar, but you would expect that 48 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: it would have seen a concurrent increase, but it didn't. 49 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: Fell up by one point six percent on Friday, which 50 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: was even more than the S and P five hundred, 51 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: which surprises me. And then that was a four percent 52 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: drop over the course of three days. Same thing happened 53 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: back in April, following Trump's Liberation Day, stocks worldwide swooned 54 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: as the market, as the Wall Street Journal referred to it, 55 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: and so did Bitcoin, dropping seven point five percent in 56 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: six days. And the Ukraine Russia problems. You would have 57 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: expected to drive Ukraine up and they would to drive 58 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: Bitcoin up, but they did not. I read an article 59 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: on the fact that one of the reasons bitcoin has 60 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: momentarily had to bloom off its rose is that Trump 61 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: is so bullish on bitcoin and that bitcoin had an 62 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: anti establishment street cred. That's the weirdest reason for that 63 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: I've ever heard mentioned. I don't know how many people 64 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: are buying a particular financial instrument on the basis that 65 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: the establishment doesn't like it. I think that was just 66 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: one of the things that burnished Bitcoin is that people 67 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: that were buying bitcoin felt like they were being a 68 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: little naughty, and now it's not naughty anymore because President 69 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: Trump is supporting it. He thinks it's a great idea. 70 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: He's very much in favor of it. Locally. The illegal 71 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: alien convicted of murdering Harris County Precinct five Corporal Charles 72 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 2: Galloway has been sentenced to death. This is going to 73 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: be number one in Chad's prep. Jim, this is the 74 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: story we had Constable now retired, Constable ted Heap on 75 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 2: a few days ago. He was the lead witness and 76 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: the star witness in that case. Oscar Roussalis murdered Corporal 77 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 2: Charles Rosalis and illegal alien. As you recall, the trial 78 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: has been held and he has been convicted and sentenced 79 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: to death. 80 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 5: He made the world dimmer by taking that bright light 81 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 5: that was shown by Galloway. 82 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: He was not just a police officer. 83 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: He was a friend. 84 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 5: He was a father, He was a mentor, He was 85 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 5: a brother, he was an uncle. 86 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: He was all of these things to a lot of people. 87 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: The police officers was one part of his identity, but 88 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: he was so much more than that. 89 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 5: Everybody we talked to he said he was just a 90 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 5: larger than life personality, somebody that was just gregarious and 91 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 5: outdoing and wanted never knew a stranger, and so his 92 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 5: loss was felt deeply by pre Joe. 93 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: And I think one of the most telling things about CROPA. 94 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: Galloway we talked about was his giving nature and how 95 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: we live in a world now where people get too 96 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: busy to help each other out and sometimes they expect 97 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: things in return. But Corpora Galloway, through every witness we saw, 98 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 3: whether it was in his police work or in his 99 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: personal life, he just wanted to help people. He just 100 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 3: wanted to be that guy that helped people to make 101 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: the world a better place. 102 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 6: I was booths on the ground while we were catching 103 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 6: this this defendant, So it means something even more to 104 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 6: me to be here and to be able to empower 105 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 6: our track team in getting the justice that the chuck 106 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 6: and our whole community deserve. 107 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 2: Tomorrow will be the anniversary of the date that twelve 108 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: year old josly And Nungerai was tortured, raped and thrown 109 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: into a ditch like a piece of trash by illegal aliens. 110 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: Corporal Charles Galloway nurses nursing students running on the campus 111 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: of the University of Georgia, police officers, college students, again 112 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: and again and again. Deport them, murderers, rapists, drunk drivers. 113 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: We are a better country when we enforce our immigration laws. 114 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: America supports those immigration laws. You know how We know 115 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: that because if we didn't, they would change them who 116 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: break our laws. And I'm talking about American citizens, American 117 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: police chiefs, American district attorneys, American governors, congressman, state reps. 118 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: Those individuals would be all too eager to change our laws. 119 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: But we don't. And this is the reason, this is 120 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: the Michael Berry Show. Locked and loaded loaded. 121 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: For years, Domino's was the premier delivery pizza and it's 122 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: the first pizza I remember in my little orbit that 123 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: you could get delivered to you. Chinese food restaurants would 124 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: deliver and they would do it internally. So you would 125 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: call the restaurant and you would order, and somebody out 126 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: of the kitchen, or somebody off the floor of serving 127 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: or one of the family members would drive your food 128 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: to you. 129 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: And there's only one box it could come from. It 130 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: could come in. It was the white box with the 131 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: red lettering. You couldn't read the words and neither could I. 132 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: And then it was close shut so that when you 133 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: opened it, the steamy goodness of the white rice would 134 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: come out. I swear there had to be only one 135 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: box manufacturer because they were all the same. 136 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: And Chinese to Go was something. 137 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: I don't remember Chinese to Go as early in Houston 138 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 2: as it was a phenomenon in New York, which is 139 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: where it really blossomed. But delivery pizza, we couldn't get 140 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: it in Orange because we didn't really live in Orange. 141 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: We lived out in the country. 142 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: But I remember when I came to Houston, people would 143 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: order a Domino's pizza to the dorm, to the apartment 144 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: I lived in, and it was a big deal. It 145 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: was a really big deal. And it was always Domino's 146 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: and it would be there in less than thirty minutes. 147 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: That was the guarantee. I delivered pizza for Pizza Hut, 148 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: the one at Holcombe and Fannin on that corner there, 149 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: and at thirty minutes, if you didn't deliver it, you'd 150 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: have to come back and get another one, because that 151 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: we hadn't met the So you could just throw that 152 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 2: pizza away. Well I didn't throw it away. I'd bring 153 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: it to my wife. And when you're not making any 154 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: money and you're a poor student and you get a 155 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: free pizza, well. 156 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: That was a treat. 157 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: The reason it would take more than thirty minutes was 158 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: not the distance of the drive. 159 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,239 Speaker 1: It was that they would try to stack several. 160 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: Pizzas on one delivery, and you'd get to one of 161 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: these Section eight of housing apartments and you go snaking 162 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: through there. You don't know where you're going to get shot. 163 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: Some people don't answer the door because it might be 164 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: the popo. It's a white guy at the door. So anyway, 165 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: Domino's Pizza as the deal. And then something happened over 166 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: the years that Dominoes just wasn't so good anymore, and 167 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: there began this gradual slide and Pizza Hut, Pizza Inn. 168 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: Jim has worked as a delivery driver. I have worked 169 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: as a delivery driver, and Ramon has worked at the 170 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: Pizza Hut in Texas City. I don't know if Chad 171 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: and Kunda happened. I'll find out shortly. That would mean 172 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: so at least sixty percent of our team has worked 173 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: at a at a pizza joint. So in the year 174 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, Domino's Pizza took a very aggressive approach. 175 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: They did a they had They were in the middle 176 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: of a several year process because they were watching their 177 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 2: market share eroad and they saw that they better right 178 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 2: this ship because it's all about trends and the big 179 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: dog that was causing them the most trouble was, of course, 180 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: Papa John's. Papa John's Pizza was considered a better tasting, 181 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: better flavor. One of the tricks to Papa Jenhons, which 182 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: we now know, is that they're tomatoes. They internally purchased 183 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 2: the tomato farms because they wanted to be able to 184 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: control the sauce, and they overripen those of you who 185 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: before he was driven out, the owner who was really 186 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: the face of the company told the story on air. 187 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: They overripen their tomatoes and farmers know, and I don't 188 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: claim that I would have, but farmers know that if 189 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: you overripen a tomato, it turns into sugar. So that 190 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: became a very natural sugar. And the American palate has 191 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: been coaxed into eating more and more sugar without even 192 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: realizing it. You know, there's that moment when you find 193 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 2: out how much sugar is in the ketchup that you've 194 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: been using. 195 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: There is that moment. 196 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: These are things that I was aware of because my 197 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: dad's a diabetic and there were foods that he couldn't eat. 198 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: And I said, Dad, how come we can't eat that? 199 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: It's not sugar. Well it turns out yes it is. 200 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: So Domino's Pizza did a multi year study on what 201 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: was going wrong while they still had the market share 202 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 2: and the money to do it, and they embraced the 203 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 2: idea that they were failing. The recipe was bad, their 204 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: cheese was bad, their sauce was bad, their dough was bad. 205 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: Other than that, Missus Lincoln, how'd you like to play? 206 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: It was terrible. 207 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: And they could no longer do the thirty minute delivery 208 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: time because they had had so many fatalities by drivers 209 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: rushing to get there in thirty minutes because they'd be 210 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: penalized if they didn't. That they were driving like maniacs, 211 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: like tow truck drivers. So now you had a situation 212 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: where they no longer had their competitive advantage of we'll 213 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: deliver before anyone else, and what will deliver won't be 214 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: any good. So in two thousand and nine they did 215 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: an ad and coming up at ten o'clock will play 216 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: you that ad. And since that ad in twenty ten, 217 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: Domino's Pizza has increased in value more than Apple, more 218 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 2: than Google, more than which is alphabet. 219 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: More than Meta, more than any of them. There are 220 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: only three stocks that have outperformed their growth since twenty ten. 221 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: It has been used as an MBA. 222 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: Study across the country of it's a good and healthy 223 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: thing to embrace your failures, to admit them, because the 224 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: idea of you know, the cat that poops and covers 225 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: it up, the person who pushes things under the rug, 226 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: people don't want that. People expect you to be mature 227 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: enough to admit your mistakes and your failings. 228 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: That ad has always been a lot to me. 229 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: Well, we have a show sponsor, had a show sponsor 230 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: called City Business Products, and they do two major things 231 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: they do. They deliver office supplies. Now you might think, well, 232 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: so's office depot not like this. This isn't the Amazon 233 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: driver that delivers your stuff at four o'clock in the 234 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: morning and leaves it in a box out front and. 235 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: You may or may not have it when you get 236 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: It's people that get and office furniture. 237 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: Well, we lost them because we weren't performing, and I said, 238 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to tell our audience that 239 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: we're going to win them back. 240 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: So I'll tell you about that commotion the Michael Berry show. 241 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: Your ill So I have asked the owner of I've 242 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: asked the owner of. 243 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: Velocity Business Products to join me at ten O'clock's name 244 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: is J. D. Pettigo. 245 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: And the reason I brought up the whole Domino story 246 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: is I think we all have something to learn from 247 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: that in our personal relationships, in our parenting relationships. I 248 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: can tell you some of the big break some of 249 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: the biggest breakthroughs, not bake throughs, but breakthroughs with my 250 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: sons have been when I have said, hey, you know 251 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: you did this wrong. I probably didn't approach it the 252 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: right way. I thought I was going about the right way. 253 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: I think I made the problem worse. That's a failing 254 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: by me as your father. What we both want to 255 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: see you do is make an a in that course. 256 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: Maybe you shouldn't have gone to the swim party, and 257 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: you should have stayed home and studied. 258 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: But there's got to be balance in life. 259 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: In me yelling at you after you didn't make an a, 260 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: that probably didn't make you want to study more. I 261 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: could have handled that in a more constructive way to say, 262 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: what did we learn from that, Let's do better. I 263 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: have found that admitting a mistake builds a level of 264 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: intimacy and I don't mean romantic, but it builds a 265 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: level of intimacy in the workplace, in your personal relationships. 266 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: It has an incredible effect, but it's very hard to do. 267 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: It's antithetical to our human nature. The worst form of 268 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: manager because they're not leaders. Especially see this in elected officials, 269 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: is the unwillingness and inability to ever take blame for 270 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: a mistake, for an error. Great leaders will take blame 271 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: and never take credit. Part of being a great leader. 272 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: So we were talking about pizza delivery and Chance McLain 273 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: sent an email. It was funny about his timing is 274 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: that I watched an interview with Old Kadra this weekend, 275 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: who was a billionaire, and I forget his name, and 276 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: I forget even his industry, but he was. What I 277 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 2: found interesting was they were talking about secrets of success, 278 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: and he said, you want to see somebody that's successful 279 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 2: as my age. They had a paper route. I had 280 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: a paper route. I can't tell you how many successful 281 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: people will mention that they had a paper route, and 282 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: you think you're seventy years old, and you talk about 283 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: what you did from the time you were eight to fourteen. 284 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: That's the thing that sticks to them, not where they 285 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 2: went to college, not what their degree was in, if 286 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: at all they had a paper route, because a paper 287 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: route meant you got it early before anybody else. The 288 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: paper was the lifeline to the world. You couldn't fail 289 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: to deliver the paper. You had responsibility, and successful people 290 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: will rise to the occasion when given responsibility. So I 291 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: thought about that all weekend. When I thought about this 292 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: Domino story, I spent an hour on the phone with JD. Pettigo, 293 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: the owner of Velocity Business Products. I called Daddy and 294 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: I said, hey, you have a problem if I do this, 295 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 2: Because I think it's important our listeners understand that for all. 296 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: The successes that we brag about, especially with. 297 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 2: Camp Whope, PTSD Foundation, with our various show sponsors that 298 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 2: just absolutely kill it, multiply their earnings exponentially once they 299 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: partner with our show. I think it's important to understand 300 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: that one out of a trillion will not work. 301 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: But in this case, I'm not willing to give up 302 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: on it. 303 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 2: I've asked him, I don't want you to come back 304 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: on I don't want you to write a check to 305 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: our company. 306 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: I don't want you to sign another contract. 307 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: I want to show you that this is a partnership 308 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 2: that I believe can work, and I'm going to redouble 309 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 2: my efforts. But before we do that, Chance McLean wrote, 310 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: I delivered for Dominoes and I loved that job. A 311 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 2: unique observation with my Heritage Films. This is when he 312 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: goes out and films people for their biography. Gen X 313 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: people delivered pizzas Boomers had paper routes. It's the same 314 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: type of people that did those two things. There are 315 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 2: disproportionate amount of successful gen xers who once ran pizza, 316 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: just like their disproportionate number of successful boomers who had 317 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 2: paper routes. 318 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: That's been my observation. I think there's something to that. 319 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: I really do. 320 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: I think there is definitely something to that. So anyway, JD. 321 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: Pettigo's company is called. 322 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: Velocity BP, which is Velocity Business Products. 323 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: And they do they design and provide your entire office suite, 324 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: everything related to office furniture, cubicle stations, all of that 325 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 2: and as it turns out people are still buying that. 326 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: I was over visiting one day taking a tour of 327 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: the place, and there was a school district that was 328 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 2: building a whole new location and Velocity BP was doing 329 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: all of the furniture for an entire school. So that 330 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 2: meant students, administrators, teachers is a big, big project. 331 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: And I thought, well, we got a lot of folks sere. 332 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: They do a don't know if I'm allowed to say 333 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: the hospital system, but one of the three major hospital 334 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: systems in town. 335 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: You would know they do theirs.

I 418 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 2: had to know if the songwriter, because we've had quite 419 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 2: a few of them. Mark James certainly among the group 420 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: who've written songs for Elvis, BJ Thomas and many more 421 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: who were from Houston. I did not know who had 422 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: written that song. His name is Barton Lee Hazelwood. He 423 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: passed in two thousand and seven at seventy eight years old, 424 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: And so I looked up where he was born, and 425 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: he was born in Manford, Oklahoma, And I thought, what's 426 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: his interest in Houston of all the places to pick? 427 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: And then I read his dad was an oil worker 428 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: who had a sideline as a dance promoter, and I thought, well, 429 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: wait a minute, that sounds like somebody. 430 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: That would have gravitated in the world of. 431 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: Urban cowboy long before the urban cowboy, because this song 432 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: came out long before there. Well, as it turns out, 433 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: he spent his teenage years important naches. And if you 434 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 2: spent your teenage years important naches, then the big city 435 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 2: that you would go to, big city, bright lights, just 436 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: sort of like if you were in Hoboken, New York, 437 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: I Hoboken, New Jersey, you wanted to go to New 438 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: York's Hoboken in New York and New Jersey, it is 439 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: in Jersey. 440 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Yeah, if you grew up. 441 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: In the outskirts of New York, on the New Jersey side, 442 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: your dream was to go to New York. 443 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: If you grew up in Naperville, you wanted to go 444 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: to Chicago. 445 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: If you grew up in most parts of California, you 446 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: wanted to go to la That was the story for 447 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 2: so many years. Maybe not today, but anyway. He and 448 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: Nancy Sinatra sang duets together, and Rolling Stone named them 449 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: number nine on the twenty Greatest Duos of all Time. 450 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: He served in the Korean War in the United States Army, 451 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: and he went to SMU. And that's all you need 452 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 2: to know about Lee Hazelwood. I just thought, well, here's 453 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: an interesting cat that I didn't know that much about. 454 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: All right back to it, shall we? We have a 455 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: new candidate. It appears for County judge. She's city council 456 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: and Letitia Plumber. Here's the problem. Leticia Plumber had a 457 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: little bit of a problem within her campaign. The Spring 458 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 2: Branch Democrats Club posted a copy of a document on 459 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: Friday that featured a logo that reads, quote doctor Leticia Plumber, 460 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: Democrat for Harris County Judge, and a caption with the 461 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: document that reads another candidate. 462 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: For County Judge. Here's the problem. 463 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: It's said that her campaign announcement day would be July eighth. 464 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: That's a boo boo rookie mistake. It might have been 465 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: released by someone other than her because the law in 466 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: the state of Texas, and I'll have to check with 467 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: Rachel Palmer Hooper because she's the expert on these things, 468 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: says that if you are a sitting officeholder and you 469 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: announce a campaign for a position other than the one 470 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: you are in, and that that announcement is made more 471 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: than one year and thirty days before the election, then 472 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: you must resign the position you currently hold. Well, that 473 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: would be a big problem for miss Plumber because she's 474 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: going to raise a lot more money sitting on city 475 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: council to be county judge. Then she is not sitting 476 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: on city council because if she's sitting on city council, 477 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: you've got engineering firms at a month or two months 478 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 2: or three months from now. They know that they have 479 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: responded to an RFP, they've been told by the internal 480 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: folks at public Works, and they're looking at a ten 481 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 2: twenty min million dollar contract. They don't want her tagging 482 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: their item and working to defeat them and speaking ill 483 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: of them. So they just make a little contribution to 484 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: her to her campaign, which is her city council campaign, 485 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: but she's gonna then turn that money into a Harris 486 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 2: County judge campaign. 487 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 4: I this strikes me as either a really stupid move 488 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 4: or a move by Rodney to try to get her 489 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 4: into trouble, which is just the sort of thing that 490 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 4: he would do. 491 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: Either one of those is possible, and it's possible both 492 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: of them are true. She made a bonehead move and 493 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: Rodney's out to get her, but she ain't. Rodney's candidate, 494 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: Lena Hidalgo is now a nicee porker can beat Lenahdalgo. 495 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind. 496 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: And people say that the scuttle Bud is a niece 497 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: and Rodney are at loggerheads right now, let me tell 498 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: you something. 499 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: A niece is very smart. Rodney's very smart. 500 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 2: When Rodney realizes that a niece is going to win 501 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: and that Lena's craziness and problems are going to prevent 502 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 2: her from Rodney will cut a deal with a niece, 503 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: mark my words. By the Democrat primary next March, Rodney 504 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: will be supporting a niece and she will be the nominet, 505 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: no question,
