1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: We're talking to folks who work out in the heap

4
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: all day, don't have the opportunity to get cool like

5
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: the rest of us, and how they cope, what they do,

6
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: what their tricks are it is. I don't know about you,

7
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: because I don't do a lot of physical labor, but

8
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: when I do do things that require exertion, I'll tell

9
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: you that in the evening there is a righteousness to that.

10
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: You're exhausted, you don't have to worry about going to sleep.

11
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: You feel like the sleep is true rest. I admire

12
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: people who figure out how to deal with our just

13
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: awful oppressive heat and manage to do it day in

14
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: and day out and over the course of a career,

15
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: because it's not easy to do. It is not easy

16
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: to do. There's no doubt about that. We're asking for

17
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: your tricks. If you're out in it all day and

18
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: you can't come in, Jacob, you're on the Michael Berry Show.

19
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, sir, good morning.

20
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: I am a proud, tharned generation HVAC technician, and I

21
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: like starting the day off with a banana bottle of water,

22
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: a cup of coffee, and then my wife packs me

23
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: up these little hydration packets that you pour into water,

24
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: and that.

25
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: Seems to do it.

26
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I was I was thinking to myself,

27
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: do you know what goes into that hydration packet?

28
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: I think it's an electric light. Some of them have sugar,

29
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: but I've kind of gone to the sugar free. I

30
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: like Gatorade. I drink the sugar free Gatorade. Interesting, so

31
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: it's like electrol, like little caffeine, and I think some

32
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: of them have the sugar in it, but I take

33
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: I don't do the sugar. I do the sugar free.

34
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you diabetic or you just don't want the sugar?

35
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: I don't so my early checkup this year they said

36
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: I was pre diabetic, so I laid off the sugar

37
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: a little bit.

38
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: What was your number? Do you know?

39
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: Five point nine thick something like that now and down

40
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 3: to like.

41
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: Five interesting, very interesting. Thanks for calling, Jacob. Let's go

42
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: to Timmy. Timmy, you are on the Michael Berry Show.

43
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 5: Hello, it is Michael Berry.

44
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: That's me. Go ahead, my man.

45
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 6: Hey, this is Jimmy, not Timmy.

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: Oh, Jimmy. Well, it's good enough for government work.

47
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, well, I got a little difference.

48
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 7: I'm not as all my rituals.

49
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 6: I kind of wanted to share with you about what

50
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 6: the actual heat and the sun can do to you.

51
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 8: I grew up in the.

52
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 6: Great County of Port Lanvoca on the coast, and I

53
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 6: started on some sail boats when I was eleven, taking

54
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 6: care of a thirty eight foot Trycat, and then a

55
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 6: couple of years later I moved over to a forty

56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 6: one foot Morgan. So that'll kind of gives you an idea.

57
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 6: You're in bathing suuit most of the day and nothing else,

58
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 6: no hat, no shoes or anything else. Then later I

59
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 6: started on the back of a shrimp boat shrimping an oyster,

60
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 6: and then moved into the rice field and crop dustin.

61
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 6: Then at nineteen, I had my face cut open. I

62
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 6: had just scheduled for to remove my nose and because

63
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 6: of basal self and ended up not losing my nose,

64
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 6: but getting a nice big scar. And one thing led

65
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 6: to another and staying in the sun, started landscaping, started

66
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 6: mowing grass, doing one thing and another, and then working

67
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: in the rice fields and over the years. Now now

68
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 6: I'm in Waller, Texas and I'm helping my godchild and

69
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 6: her husband. They borrowed beautiful ranch and turned it into

70
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 6: a wedding venue and then they just took over two

71
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 6: k venue out here in Waller. Now it's vintage Bridge,

72
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 6: the brand new place. It's gorgeous on seventy five acres,

73
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 6: many room land, helicopters, anything you want. I also oversee

74
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 6: and take care of that. So we're in the sun

75
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 6: all day and we ride equipment, tractors, skid steers, dozers,

76
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 6: we got trailers. I just came from a five thousand

77
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 6: miles crisscrossing the United States calling stuff.

78
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 8: Because we also have a.

79
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 6: Company, he and I built metallizing technical services.

80
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: We'll go anywhere in the world.

81
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 6: We're specialists in it and we also do underwater jackets

82
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 6: and bridge repair. We just finished a two year project

83
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 6: in New Hampshire on steel girders on metallizing. It's going

84
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: to be a bridge very erected, I think in the

85
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 6: next year and a half two years, and we did

86
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: two big projects for them up there. But back to

87
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 6: the part of the sun. I've been cut open with

88
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 6: stitches over eighty something times. I've been burned on over

89
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty times. I've had my head putting

90
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 6: a machine after they lootionened it up so it was like

91
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 6: a hornet sitting on the top of your head three times.

92
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 6: And I've had my inter removed and put back on.

93
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 6: I've had several different little in and down. I'm the

94
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 6: only one in the families that had any of the cancers.

95
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 6: Then I ended up never smoked, never drank, always liked

96
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 6: to lift weight, used to be a diver, and ended

97
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 6: up with renal carcinoma in twenty fourteen, lost my right kidney.

98
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 6: Then I had thyroid cancer at the same time. Then

99
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 6: I had fourteen months of chemo, ended up coming down

100
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 6: with chronic lymphoma leukema and my blood, my bones and

101
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 6: my lift notes and I'm sixty seven point five percent

102
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: deaf in both ears from the chemo, and I still

103
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 6: work in the sun every day.

104
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 8: Love it.

105
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 6: Wouldn't trade it. I was a banker, I've done a

106
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 6: lot of other things. I'm the founder of the Point

107
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 6: Comfort tugboat service harbor docking down there at Promosa, and

108
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 6: wouldn't trade anything that's happened. But it's been in the experience,

109
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 6: and a very costly one too. It's not cheap going

110
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 6: through all that. Andy Anderson gave me a year, year

111
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 6: and a half to live in twenty fourteen, and I

112
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 6: thank god I beat it. But it's always fun when

113
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 6: I go back and stuff to see them because they never.

114
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 8: Used the word remission.

115
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 6: I always had one. I'm in remission. Oh no, I mean,

116
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 6: you know.

117
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: Your numbers looking really good.

118
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 6: But now we don't use that word with you. You

119
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 6: go to many cancers.

120
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 9: We don't.

121
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 8: We don't know what to do.

122
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think scant. I think cancer scared

123
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,039

Speaker 2: you're on the Michael Berry Show, Gay Dave. Oh you'll

159
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: have to pot it up from more. Here we go, Yeah, yep.

160
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: Oh, hey, how's it going, Michael? As you know, I'm

161
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: currently a vegetable farmer. Before that, I was obviously in

162
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: law enforcement, and I started my career in with US

163
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: Capitol Police in DC, where most of that time I

164
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 4: was a mountain bike officer. So I was wearing a

165
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: vest and a uniform and driving around a mountain bike

166
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 4: every day. It was in shorts, so that wasn't too bad.

167
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: But you know, they call Capitol Hill for a reason,

168
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: So I was just driving my mountain bike up and

169
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 4: down a hill all day long basically.

170
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: So.

171
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: I probably sweated more than your average person doing that.

172
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: And uh, do you think just as you were gay

173
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: really helped?

174
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

175
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: Maybe, I don't know.

176
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 8: I think I don't know.

177
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: I think gay people sweat less. You know.

178
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: It was.

179
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: So so how did you end up in Texas if

180
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: you were working in DC as a as a capital coup?

181
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: So after nine to eleven happened, I was working about

182
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: eighteen hour days and there was this girl that would

183
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: go outside and smoke a lot, and she was kind

184
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: of cute, and uh, I guess I wasn't totally gay

185
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: back then, but I started talking to her. We got

186
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: to starting dated, and then we got married and had

187
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: a couple of kids. And she was from Kingwood. Originally

188
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: she was just a staff around the hill. And then

189
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: we got married and you know, eventually we got divorced

190
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: because I'm gay, and uh. She wanted to move back

191
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: to Texas with the kids, and I said, you know,

192
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 4: that'd be that'd be fine, but I want to go too,

193
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 4: So I tried to get a transfer with I was

194
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 4: an Air marshal at the time, and I tried to

195
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 4: get a transfer in They were like, nope, you're not

196
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 4: getting transferred. So I got my congressman, a guy named

197
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: Frank Wolf, to get involved. And then when the congressman

198
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: started asking questions why they want to transfer me, they.

199
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 5: Go, oh, oh wait, we didn't deny him.

200
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: It was just you know, we just uh, it was

201
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 4: just on hold. And then eventually gave my transfer after

202
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: throwing a few greenades at them, and I got I

203
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 4: moved down here because I wanted to be near my kids,

204
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: you know.

205
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 2: And what did you do then?

206
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: Now, what did I do when I moved down did?

207
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 8: What did you do?

208
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was still an air marshal. I just transferred

209
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: to the Houston office down here and did that for

210
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: nineteen years. Then they tried to make me take a

211
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 4: COVID shot and I retired, and I said no. So

212
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: I decided to retire a little earlier that I was

213
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: going to at forty seven. Yeah, I had twenty five

214
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 4: years in federal law enforcement at that point, so I

215
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: could retire. So I did that, and I just decided

216
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 4: to do. One of the things I love doing is

217
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: growing vegetables. I've always had a garden, so I'm just

218
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: doing on a much bigger scale now. And you know,

219
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: every day lately with all the rain of the damn

220
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: weeds have popped up everywhere. So I've been crawling around

221
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: my hands and knees pulling the giant weeds.

222
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: And I've made get any money at that.

223
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: High right now? No, not at all. Like I think

224
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 4: I make about seventy five cents an hour. Do you

225
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: sell this out the four hours? Yeah, we saw that

226
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 4: the farmer's markets. There's making some farmers market up here. Yeah,

227
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: that's where we're that's where we selling at interesting right now.

228
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: And so how much i'd like to move down to that.

229
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, No, you go ahead, you'd like to move

230
00:13:59,160 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: down to where?

231
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 4: Oh oh, the urban harvest farmer's market downtown is just

232
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 4: like a great farmers market. And I love I love

233
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: the people running my farmer's market, but it's kind of small.

234
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 4: If it ever grows big enough where I can actually

235
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: make some money, I might stay.

236
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: But how much do you make if you spend a

237
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: saturday at that farmer's market. If you spend a Saturday

238
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: at that farmer's market, how much would you walk away with?

239
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 5: About three hundred bucks?

240
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: Okay, so I mean four hour for four hours, three

241
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: hundred bucks sounds like a lot. But then you're adding

242
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: all the hours you spent on the farm that week,

243
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: and it's nothing.

244
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Yell and everything you have to do to raise that

245
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: that is uh yeah, that's that's uh. That's a lot

246
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: of work.

247
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 9: That is.

248
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: That is a whole lot of work.

249
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: You know.

250
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: My grandfather used to used to go down to South

251
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: Texas and buy all the cheap produce and bring it

252
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: back and he would set up his truck with the

253
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: camper and we would sell out of that. And it's

254
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: one of my favorite childhood memories was working at his

255
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: little wasn't a farmers market. It's just a roadside stand,

256
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: and it was one of my favorite memories was standing

257
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: out there with him and selling the stuff. And in

258
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: time he figured out that me leading the charge of

259
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: this little kid, we'd make more money because people would

260
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: tip because they were happy to see this little kid

261
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: out there working. And I just enjoyed it because I

262
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: spent time with my grandfather and at the end of it,

263
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: he would give me a dollar, which was four games

264
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: on Galagha at the girlands in town. And that's all

265
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: I mean. I enjoyed the interaction with the people, but

266
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: I also did Ramonda, we have a caller? Was that

267
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: Were you trying to tell me something? Okay? Then he

268
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: would give me four quarters to go into girlands because

269
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: at the end of this long day he would pick

270
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: up groceries to bring home to my grandmother. And with

271
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: four quarters, I would run, you know, we'd get out

272
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: of the truck, I'd rush in. I could play for

273
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: a while till finally he'd come home and all right,

274
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: let's go.

275
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 8: Good time.

276
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: That's not you know, It's amazing to me. In the

277
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: course of a day, I passed people cross paths, drive past,

278
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: see him working, and you think there is someone living

279
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: a very different life than you are, and they're right

280
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: next to you. And if we had to change places,

281
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: how difficult it would be to do what that person

282
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: is doing. And yet we're crossing paths and you don't

283
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: you don't even think about it. I got an email

284
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: from someone named Darylyn Butler. Uh you think Darryln is

285
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: a girl? Probably huh d A R O L y N.

286
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: Why do you say it was so much confidence? It's

287
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: not a black woman? I mean it could be. My

288
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: name is Darylyn Butler, owner of Cypress Trails Ranch in Humble.

289
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: I love to hear Greg's testimony on barefoot horses in

290
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: the Houston Mounted Patrol. I trained Greg at my ranch

291
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: on barefoot horses. I'm seventy five and still work outside

292
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: daily and race and endurance races regularly on barefoot horses.

293
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: But the main reason for emailing you is a topic

294
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: of dehydration. Here at Cypress Trail's ranch, up to two

295
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: hundred guests passed through our gates daily. Once the Texas

296
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: heat kicks in, we see tons of cases of heat exhaustion.

297
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: Some are even all the way up to heatstroke in

298
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: staff and customers. I've been using a wonderful product called

299
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: universe Let's see, oh, Univera Univera Km mineral supplement. Univera

300
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: Km mineral supplement to keep myself, staff and customers going

301
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: for forty plus years. It is shipped in from Germany.

302
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: We encourage people to start it early and keep using

303
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: it throughout the day. Wonderful liquid can help turn around

304
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: people suffering from heat exhaustion in a matter of minutes.

305
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: They have pills too, but they don't work as quickly.

306
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm constantly surprised at how many people don't know how

307
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: important it is to have the proper vitamins and minerals potassium, calcium,

308
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: and magnesium in their system before venturing out into the

309
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: Texas heat. As mentioned on your show, you need to

310
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 2: start early and continue on even up to a couple

311
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 2: of days after your heat episode to fully recover. You

312
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: can purchase km through Amazon. And that was Univera Km

313
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: mineral supplement.

314
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

315
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: I think Darryln's probably a girl. I think that's probably

316
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: that's probably right. Yeah, all right, let's go to the

317
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: phone line, shall we. Let's go to James. James, you're

318
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: on the Michael Berry show. Go ahead, Hey, good.

319
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: Morning, Michael.

320
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 12: Couple things here. We just did a mission project up

321
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 12: in New Waverley with our youth group.

322
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 8: We replaced the.

323
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 12: Handicap ramp and we stressed hydration. And like I've been

324
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 12: on over the years in construction, it's water, gatorade, water gatorade.

325
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 12: You know, you keep a balance. Like everybody's saying, you

326
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 12: can start early. But I'm sixty seven and I was

327
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 12: out there in the heat, and the heat got to

328
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 12: me about four o'clock. Doesn't happen often, probably about twice

329
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 12: in my life, but it got to me. I'd lay

330
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 12: down to the church, but I came back out, but

331
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 12: one of the guys went over to the store and

332
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 12: he got me these slice pickles. I ate a bag

333
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 12: of these slice pickles, and man, I was, I was

334
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 12: ready to go. It was amazing.

335
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 8: I guess that replenished whatever electric lights I needed, you know.

336
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 8: And usually once I.

337
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 12: Work out in the sun at night time, I get

338
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 12: cramped about two o'clock in the morning. Their killer and

339
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 12: so I go in the fridge and drink tickle juice.

340
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 8: But I'd tase you. One time I went in there

341
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 8: and I grabbed the Holopino slices and I drank some

342
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 8: of that. That was a mistake. Yeah, I couldn't need

343
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 8: enough tortilla chips to get that.

344
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 5: Out of me.

345
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 12: And then my belly hurt all night. Yeah, but U

346
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 12: but hey, one last thing. I know you, I know

347
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 12: you love your sponsors. But I got all the lumber

348
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 12: for this from McCaulay Lumber. I sent you email about it,

349
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 12: and I talked to John McCauley over there. He took

350
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 12: care of us and and uh, he actually gave us

351
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 12: a little discount on the freight to send it up there. Man,

352
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 12: what a blessing it was for him to do that.

353
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 12: I didn't even ask him. So just a great shout out.

354
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 12: And I tell you we're going to we're wanting to

355
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 12: do more of these, and we will be calling McCauley Lumber.

356
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 8: They've got great prices in great service.

357
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's it's fantastic.

358
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 8: That's it roll.

359
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: When you walk in the door, there's a horseshoe there,

360
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: and all but one. I think of the people working

361
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: behind that court horseshoe are the family. It's old fashion.

362
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: They don't they don't. You don't see that anymore. And

363
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 2: I know people I get emails from people who say,

364
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: we've been using McCauley's lumber for I think they've been

365
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: around for fifty years now. You know, this is the

366
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: second and third generation that are running it.

367
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 11: Now.

368
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: That's something that's like the Farmer's Mercantile and Orange. I

369
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: mean people that have worked there. I have a class

370
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: make Jojo Harris, she works there, her parents work there.

371
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: I mean, is it's one of those multi generational, really

372
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: really cool deals. Pickle juice comes up as being something

373
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: you should use a lot of times. I mean that

374
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: is that is a very very frequent topic that people

375
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: talk about, is pickle juice and how good it is

376
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: for you during the summer. There's real wisdom amongst people

377
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: who have to survive out in the heat, or for

378
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: that matter of that, people who have to survive out

379
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: in the cold, and they learn it and they pass

380
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: it down. It's one of those things, the little tricks

381
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: that can make all the difference in the world, and

382
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: the average person doesn't know that. I wonder how many

383
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: people know that you cannot just replenish water in your

384
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: system in the summer and keep your system going because

385
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: if you push too much water through your body. You're

386
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: going to pee out all the things that you desperately

387
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: desperately need and that your body needs. And as I said,

388
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: my buddy was hospitalized. He was drinking more water than

389
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: everybody else, thinking he was taking the right steps to

390
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: ward off the horrible heat. But what he was managing

391
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: to do was actually flush his system of the magnesium

392
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: and potassium and things that you so desperately need. There's

393
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: a lot of wisdom to guys that work out in

394
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 2: the summer, in the heat and outside and they've got

395
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: to figure out a way to survive. Oh oh, we've

396
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: got a call from Trump and Tom go ahead.

397
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 10: Cool, stop again. And you're asking about what to do

398
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 10: when it gets so hot outside, I'll tell you what

399
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 10: I do.

400
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 8: Every time.

401
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 10: I just think about how strong President dol J. Trump is,

402
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 10: and the fact that he wears a three piece suit

403
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 10: everywhere he ever goes, and sometimes he has that super

404
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 10: sweat duster on where he looks like he could be

405
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 10: in Tombstone or some other really cool movie. But he

406
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 10: doesn't really wear that in the summer, mostly because it's

407
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 10: really really hot as hades out there. But listen, what

408
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 10: I like to do is think about man. At least

409
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 10: they don't have a three piece suit on like Tom J.

410
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 10: Trump does all the time looking awesome looking. He's the

411
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 10: only president in the history of all presidents that have

412
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 10: ever been presidents that like Benjamin blutting their way through presidency.

413
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 10: He started off looking one way, and then he presidented

414
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 10: for four years, and then Biden cheated in one and

415
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 10: stupid Hillary and all all and then well you know,

416
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 10: he won again because they couldn't steal it. But now

417
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 10: he's president again. He basically looks like fifteen years younger. Yeah,

418
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 10: you know why, because he's the best president ever. I

419
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 10: don't remember why I called, Michael, but would you please

420
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 10: call me back. I want to talk to you about

421
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 10: I got a business idea and okay, that's all I got.

422
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,719

Speaker 9: Hi, my son, my son h lives on the streets

455
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 9: in the heat along with a lot of other mentally

456
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 9: ill people. And when you spoke earlier about the woman

457
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 9: sitting out on the center of I forty five in

458
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 9: the heat, I was impressed by your kindness toward her.

459
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: You know, Aaron, mental health is something that we joke about,

460
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: like many things, because it causes us discomfort. My heart

461
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: goes out to anybody that's in that situation. Very literal

462
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: people don't understand that we laugh at things so that

463
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: we can own them. We laugh as a coping technique.

464
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 9: Well, you you played the funny song, but then you

465
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 9: did you really were kind about it, said, I'm telling

466
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 9: you very few people are, and in your case you were.

467
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 12: Uh.

468
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 2: And But but I don't I don't think they.

469
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 9: Mean you redress the fact that how could she be

470
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 9: out that heat?

471
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they mean to be mean. I

472
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: think we don't know what to do. It's it's like

473
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: gay stuff or or or death or we don't really

474
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: we struggle to cope with it, and and it is.

475
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 7: It is tough.

476
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 2: But let me ask you this, as a mother, how

477
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: do you cope with that? That's I can't imagine. I

478
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: love my kids so much. I know you love your kid.

479
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: How do you struggle knowing your kid is out on

480
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: the st I mean, how do you cope knowing your

481
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: kid is out.

482
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 8: On the street.

483
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 9: That's got to be tough right now, right now. And

484
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 9: since January twenty sixth, he's been safe because he's been

485
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 9: at twelve hundred Baker Street in Harris County Jail. So

486
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 9: I know he's safer there than he was on the street.

487
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 9: And I visited him on Wednesday, So in it.

488
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to put words in your mouth, I

489
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: want to understand this. So in an odd way, you'd

490
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 2: rather him be in jail because at least he's, as

491
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: you said, safer there.

492
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 9: I feel that way. Yeah, he's in I'm able to

493
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 9: visit him, and he seems okay. He's a very surprisingly

494
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 9: innocent thirty four year old. Yeah, And he was waving

495
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 9: a pocket knife and a McDonald's and the little girl

496
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 9: behind the counter one one as she should, she was frightened,

497
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 9: but he was waving it at his hallucinations, not in

498
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 9: any body. And he's been in there since two days

499
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 9: before his birthday and will be until they can free

500
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 9: up a bed in a state hospital. Back in twenty eleven,

501
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 9: he was in an Austin State hospital. But now you

502
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 9: can't get into a state hospital unless you've committed a crime.

503
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 9: And so thankfully he's charged with attempted or aggravated assault

504
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 9: with the deadly weapon, and so he'll get a bed

505
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 9: in a state hospital.

506
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: That's what it takes.

507
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 7: Wow, So.

508
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: How hard is it for you when he's out under

509
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: a bridge or wherever it is that he is, When

510
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: he's out, as you put your.

511
00:29:52,720 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 9: Head on the pillow, very very hard, he gets SI

512
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 9: and fortunately it doesn't go to him, it comes to me,

513
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 9: And so I pay for a room for him in

514
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 9: a home in Houston. A wonderful woman named Miss Cynthia

515
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 9: is a retired New York City police person has this

516
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 9: home for generally about seventeen fifteen to seventeen men live there,

517
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 9: and most of them have schizophrenia, and most of them

518
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 9: are there released from jail, and then they stay because

519
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 9: she's good to them. But you can't make people take

520
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 9: their medicine. And so he walks the streets and comes

521
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 9: back every now and then for a meal. And I

522
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 9: have no idea how he lives with that, because he's

523
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 9: very bright. His brother and sister wants an attorney who

524
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 9: wants a cybersecurity expert for the Federal Reserve. And he

525
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 9: is that smart and he knows that it shouldn't be

526
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 9: this way, but sadly he's come to accept it.

527
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: That's art. My prayers for you. I can't even imagine

528
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: what that's like. I can't even imagine that is Uh.

529
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: I gotta change the subject. I gotta change. We told

530
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: you earlier about the Alligator Alcatraz story where they're holding

531
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: the illegals in Florida. Some of those alligators used to

532
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: surround the immigrant detention center are being transported from the

533
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: Louisiana Swamps. Alix Netflix documentary is in the early stages

534
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: of filming. Today's a big day and they sent us

535
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: a clip for the upcoming show. And this I believe

536
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: I will watch.

537
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 11: As crawfish season has come to an end. Boys of

538
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 11: the Louisiana Swamps aimed their crossbows in the direction of gators.

539
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 8: Mission directed straight.

540
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: From the top.

541
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 11: You know when I get that call out on my

552
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,760

553
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 11: of gators here over the years, but we chewed them dead.

554
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 11: This time we hit them with that tranquilizer we reserve
