I really like 3 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: Missouria County sheriff, along with Brian Hawthorne and our new 4 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: sheriff in Galveston, Jimmy Fullan. I like these guys a 5 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: lot elected sheriffs that represent their community, that take care 6 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: of their law enforcement officers, that hate bad guys, and 7 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: that are plain spoken about all of the above like 8 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. I just wish I was speaking 9 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: to both Stallman under more jocular circumstances than hours after 10 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: he just lost one of his deputies. Sheriff Stalman, thank 11 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: you for making time with us. Can you tell us 12 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: what we know of what happened yesterday? 13 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 2: Yes, good morning. But as you may know, the deputy 14 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: Bargains and his partner were attempting to serve the more 15 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: in Houston. There was a fay one in the mirror 16 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: of doing that. They approached the suspect. He was in 17 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: a vehicle. They approach the suspect us whenever he he 18 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: would turn fired, striking Deputy Bargas and then he f 19 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: and then the incidents after that, Uh, he was found 20 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: and he was a he was shot too, So, Uh, 21 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: that's kind of just a. 22 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: I looked at, uh this turds record, and he had 23 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: a record a mile long. So I'm guessing they knew 24 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: when they approached this is a bad guy who probably 25 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be taken into custody. But I guess 26 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: the flip side of that is that's the kind of 27 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: turds that you're serving a warrant on every day, right. 28 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: Were correct? 29 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: Tell me about Deputy Vargas. 30 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: So, Depputy Vargas, he and his partner were they're signed 31 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: the art Scunner Unit, which is our old warrant division, 32 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: and for years they've so you know, they've served multiple warrants. 33 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: It's taken a lot of people to jail, and they 34 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: they're really good at their job. 35 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: Uh. 36 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: He was recently within the past year.

Yeah, 79 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: obviously you don't probably don't have any details on the 80 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: surface yet. 81 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 2: No, no, no, not yet.

Man Ramon, imagine 89 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: you are the human being who has to go tell 90 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: an eleven year old child Daddy's not coming home. Right. 91 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: You intuitively understand that that would be difficult. You get that, 92 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: you got it'd be difficult, it'll be horrible. But I 93 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: want you to imagine forming the words you've got to say, 94 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: the words you've got to say, some kind of words 95 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: you have to communicate verbal to a child in such 96 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: a manner that conveys that information. I just I admire. 97 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm a crier, you know, George the Elder, George Bush, 98 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush. He was asked by a reporter 99 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: one time, you know you often cry? Is that you 100 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: know we've not We're not used to seeing a president cry. 101 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: He said, I'm a crier. That's what I do. I cry, 102 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: But I've always done that, and I do believe that 103 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: some people have a more steely resolve in some My 104 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: my wife doesn't cry, my father doesn't cry. I never 105 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: saw my father to cry in my entire life. His 106 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: brother took his own life, and my mother told me 107 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: that he cried on the way over after they got 108 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: the call that Uncle Jean had died, and he said why, why, 109 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: why would he do this? Why, and that he broke 110 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: down and never saw him cry. At the graveside he 111 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: stood up to think we only had about fifteen people there, 112 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: and he stood up and think they were coming and 113 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: he could just as listen, my dad doesn't cry. 114 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: I'm a cry. 115 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: So he was crissing. Was we didn't get nothing the 116 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: hard times to Michael Barry Show, it's a damn shame. 117 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a 118 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: damn shame. That's his confession Toime. We'll open the phone 119 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: lines if you. If you want to confess something that 120 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: anybody who's ever known you would be shocked to know, 121 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: because it's the opposite of what your opinion always was. 122 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: This is the time to do it, and then you 123 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: will go to your grave with a clean conscience. And 124 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: it could be that you've developed. It could be that 125 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: you stated your opinion before because you were embarrassed about 126 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: how you really felt, or it could be that how 127 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: you really feel has changed. So I'll start, uh seven 128 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: three nine, one thousand. I always hated cats. Now I 129 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: don't love cats now, but I have grown to develop 130 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: a grudging respect for cats. And I will tell you 131 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: why that is. To start with, cats are useful. I 132 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times I've been out visiting 133 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: a friend at a at their farm or ranch and 134 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: you'll see a cat, and you know, I make some 135 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: statement about how much I hate cats, and they go, boy, 136 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: I tell you what, that cat man, that cat. You 137 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't believe him. He snakes, that thing kills, you wouldn't believe. 138 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: If I didn't have that cat, i'd have this barn 139 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: would be full of rats and mice, and that cat 140 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: will not tolerate them. That cat has a zero tolerance 141 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: for cats and mice. That's the best cat. That's the 142 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: best mice killing rat cat. I have ever seen that cat. 143 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: That cat can do no wrong. For that very I 144 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: don't even like them, never had them, don't like them. 145 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: But that cat will keep the mice out of your house. 146 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: That cat does some good. And you go, okay, all right. 147 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm a dog person. But the other thing about cats 148 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: that I have to learn in time is you don't 149 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of the benefits of a pet the 150 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: way you do with a dog. Like you're not coming 151 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: home and there you know the thing about dogs and 152 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: George is the absolute prototype of the archetype of this 153 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: is you can be gone for ten hours, ten days, 154 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: or ten minutes and you walk back here and talk, Oh, 155 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: you're home. I'm so happy you're a home. I just 156 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: walked outside, George, you cannot nobody's just excited to see me. Ever, 157 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: I am you're back. I was so worried you're back. 158 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Whereas your cat, people have a cat a pet as 159 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: a pet, it's like you're their pet. If they're in 160 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: the mood, they'll come over, let you know, and they'll 161 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: rub up on you and let you scratch on them. 162 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: But pretty much otherwise, don't bother me. I don't just 163 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: don't even want to be bothered. And I can halfway 164 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: appreciate that nobody has to rush home to feed the cat. Right. 165 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: A cat is domesticated in the sense that they'll come 166 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: inside in the air conditioning or the warmth when it's 167 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: cold outside.

If you splar, you won't 202 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: tell anybody else. I promised me too. 203 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a long time coming, but I, uh, 204 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: I appreciate it now. 205 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: So well, here's my problem. I don't watch network TV 206 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: per se, but I've got some YouTube things that I 207 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: subscribe to, and one of them is called The Professor 208 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: of Rock. It's got named Adam Reader, and he loves 209 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: George Michael, and he has a George Michael sensibility that 210 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: I think has rubbed off on him. I had a 211 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: fear she should be featured here. Nobody puts Crystal in force. 212 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: So David Malloy, who produced this, is a superstar producer. 213 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: I did not know of him, but he wrote uh, 214 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Driving My Life Away, which Eddie Rabbit cut. Obviously, he 215 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: wrote suspicions that Eddie Rabbit had a big hit with 216 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: his father, Jim Malloy, was a Grammy aw Award winning 217 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: recording engineer. His father worked in recording studios around Los Angeles, 218 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: but moved to Nashville when David was thirteen. He took 219 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: his first guitar lesson at fifteen and immediately knew he 220 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: wanted to write and produce music for a living. How 221 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: is men, since you talked to Matt Parish, So those 222 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: of you who ever came to the RCC will remember 223 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: what was this man called market Junction? And Matt Parrish 224 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite people in the world. He's 225 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: about I tell you think he is. He's not five four, 226 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: maybe five six. He's about five six, and I don't 227 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: want to exaggerate. Maybe twenty seven pounds. Well I could 228 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: say twelve pounds and then people think I was exaggerating. 229 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: So he's about five to six and say twenty sep 230 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: maybe thirty pounds, maybe thirty pounds. He wears those big 231 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: old boots to try to add some girth, and he 232 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: wears oversized wrangler jeans that starts so much they would 233 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: stand up on their own, and they are about eight 234 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: sizes too big to try to give him some size. 235 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: And then he puts a hat on the top to 236 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: add a couple of inches. And but then what he 237 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: doesn't realize is he's got this little bit of Ichabod 238 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: crane head underneath there. But anyway, out of that little 239 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: beady body comes some fantastic songwriting guitar, get fiddle picking 240 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: and singing, and he's just a minch of a man, great, 241 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: great guy. And so I went on to Facebook because 242 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: Christine Weaver, our probate attorney, our Wills in the States lawyer, 243 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: sent me she said, I heard you talking about Wills 244 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: and estates. I heard you talking about sorry, I heard 245 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: you talking about consanguinity, which is the legal term for 246 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: who you're related to and what that relationship is called 247 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: in a court of law. And that's what Wills and 248 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: estates is all about. Right, you know which air receipt 249 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: inherits this and when, and it's a fascinating body of law. 250 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: But because I went to England to get an International 251 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: Commercial Law degree, an LLLM, which is a degree after 252 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: law school which you don't need, I wanted to teach 253 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: and I wanted to live in England in the school 254 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: was willing to pay for it. But so I didn't 255 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: take that class, and it's a class you should take. 256 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: So I come back. I come back a month after 257 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: law school finishes because I'm still finishing my coursework there 258 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: and I have to set for the Bar. And there's 259 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: an amount of time I think it's about three months 260 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: two and a half months between when law school ends 261 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: your last semester and when you take the bar in 262 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: the summer. You can take it in the you can 263 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: take it again later in the year, but you don't 264 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: want to fail the bar. That's embarrassing. So in it's 265 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: past fail. There's no grade, its just pass fail. So 266 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: I arrived back a month into a bar exam prep. 267 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: So I'm already behind getting ready for this exam, and 268 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: I haven't taken some of the core classes that are 269 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: important parts of the bar exam. One of them is bankruptcy, 270 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: and one of them is Wills and the States, and 271 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: one of them is evidence. And those are classes that 272 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: you take for the soul, you take typically your third year, 273 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: and so I haven't taken any of those, so I've 274 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: got to just the Bar exam prep is where they go. 275 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: All right, you learned a lot during your course work 276 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: in law school on this subject. Here's the only part 277 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: you need to remember for your law exam. But for me, 278 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't like revising my notes. I didn't have any notes. 279 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know any of that. So I'm behind the 280 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: eight ball here, right. So anyway, so she sent me 281 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: that a chart to tell you, you know which one 282 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: is your second cousin and which one is this, and 283 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: which one is your first classon So I go on 284 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: the Facebook machine to post what she has sent me 285 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: because I find this stuff interesting. And what the first 286 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: thing I see is a post by Matt Parrish. He's 287 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: a little bit dude. I told you it's about I'll 288 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: say thirty pounds because twenty seven is being rude. He's 289 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: probably thirty pounds. And there's a picture of a fishing 290 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: boat center console boat. I ran out of boat knowledge. 291 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: I was gonna throw in some terms, but that's not 292 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: all I had. My votecab was a little limited. I 293 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: was gonna throw a little jargon in there, but I 294 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: didn't have anything else to offer. What I was gonna say, 295 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: I was gonna say starbird or I was gonna try 296 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: to find something, but it would have been so obvious. 297 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: I was trying that I didn't even do it. And 298 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: there is a boat, and it went through my head 299 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: that dude never posts anything on Facebook other than him fishing. 300 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: And every time I call him to see if he 301 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: can come play a gig at my house because I 302 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: do this house parties where I'll have an artist come 303 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: and we sit around and sing along with them. And 304 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: if you're a person who shows up at my house 305 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: and you talk one of the persons that you don't 306 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: ever get invited back because I love the kind of 307 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: sing along campfire you know, South Texas TV they call 308 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: it the kind of campfire sing along type deal. Every 309 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: time I call him, he'll say I would love to, 310 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: but I'm out fishing every time. Like how much fishing 311 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: can you? There's nothing I enjoy doing that I want 312 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: to do it that often. There's things I love, but 313 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to do them that often. So I 314 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: picked up the phone to call him during the break 315 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: and I said, let me guess you're fishing, and he goes, 316 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: how'd you know? And I said, I was joking, because 317 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: I mean, what's today Thursday? Who's dot at work. You 318 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: know one thing I realize, Ramon, we're the only people 319 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: who come to work every day. 320 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 2: Now. 321 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: People can say, hey, yeah, but what's not work. You're right, 322 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: it's not. But we're here. We never miss, ever, ever, ever, 323 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: we never miss. When you talk to enough people, you 324 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: realize a lot of people, especially business owners and salesmen, 325 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: they're off playing golf, they're off fishing. They're here and 326 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: there constantly, like they don't go to work five days 327 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: a week or more. They just don't do it. They're 328 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: always doing something else. So anyway, I said, I was joking. 329 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean, how are you fishing it Thursday? Why are 330 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: you not at work?

It's like Scott Kudats, 336 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: you don't just plan it. Well, guess what he's doing now, 337 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: he's got his business. He's he's a guide. Did you 338 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: know that he's got it? He's teaching fly fishing down 339 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: in Galiston, he started a business. Who knows? 340 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 3: Remind the New York Times headline Anita Bryant, whose anti 341 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: gay politics undid a singing career, is dead at eighty four. 342 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: The reason you don't say nice things about Jimmy Carter 343 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: is because he was awful as a president and awful 344 00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: as a human being, despite what you've heard, most notably recently, 345 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: because he did a lot of things. He declared that 346 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was an illegitimate president and that the Russians 347 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: had put him in the White House in twenty sixteen. 348 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: Oh but you know, I agree, Michael. He wasn't a 349 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: good president, but he was you know what, he was 350 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: a good man. You've been taught, well you met him. No, 351 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: he was a good man. He did a lot of 352 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: good for a lot of people. What did he do well? 353 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: He did that habitat for humanity. Interesting. So he hammered 354 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: some nails, and that means he can be an election denier. 355 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: That means he can declare that the hard work of 356 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: millions of Americans to keep Hillary Clinton from being president 357 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: and put Donald Trump in the White House, that the 358 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: Russians did that that makes him a good man. Well, 359 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't perfect. Neither was Anita Bryant. But 360 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: isn't it interesting They want to act like Jimmy Carter 361 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: was a saint and Anita Bryant was an awful human being. 362 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: Anti gay. That's such a smart way to frame things. 363 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: She was anti gay, No, she wasn't. She didn't want 364 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: laws to be changed for an agenda of the progressives. 365 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: She was ahead of her time nineteen fifty eight. She 366 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: was also a smoke show, by the way, absolute smoke show. 367 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: She was a nineteen fifty eight Miss Oklahoma Beauty Pageant winner. 368 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: She was also hermonan You probably don't know this, a 369 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: brand ambassador for the Florida Citrus Commission from nineteen sixty 370 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: nine to nineteen eighty. That's not a bad gig in Yeah, Well, 371 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: she did a lot of things in her life. She 372 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: stood up for what she believed in. And I thought 373 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: we were a country that even if we don't agree 374 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: with what someone says, we can appreciate their advocacy if 375 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: they come by it honestly, and she did. She was 376 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: from Barnesdale, Oklahoma. Ramone. I don't know, I'll just sounded 377 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: like an interesting thing. Her mother's name was Leonora and 378 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: her father's name was Warren Warren G. Bryant like Warren G. Harding. 379 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: You know they don't. Oh, she was invited to audition 380 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: when Arthur Godfrey's Talent Show came to town. Do you 381 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: know who was discovered by Arthur Godfrey? Johnny Nash? Very good. 382 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: She had her television show, The Anita Bryant Show, which 383 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: aired on WKY now, w sorry KFO RTV. Ramone said 384 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: that I became unnaturally excited when we added Tulsa as 385 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: an affiliate a couple of months ago. You want to 386 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: hear something funny. We've been in radio for nineteen years 387 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: now for a moment, it's over twenty five years, and 388 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something about that in just a moment. 389 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: In all those years, it took us forever to add 390 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: a second affiliate. Ninety nine point nine percent of shows 391 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: will never go beyond one market. It's very hard to do. 392 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: And Premiere is the big dog. That's what syndicated Russia's Show, 393 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: Sean's Show, Glenn's Show, now, Clay and Bug. Premiere is 394 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: the big dog. If Premiere puts you on, then they 395 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: start adding stations. They've got all the relationships, so for 396 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: us to go in two thousand and seven from one 397 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: to two stations. It was originally going to be Portland, 398 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: and then they were going to put us on, and 399 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: they took us off to go with what was thought 400 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: to be a more regionally friendly guy named Mike Siegel. 401 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: And the station was at a zero point zero and 402 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: Robert Dove, who ran the station, loved our show and 403 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 1: he wanted us on. And that was when a regional 404 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: director of our company who's along with the company, said, 405 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: what are you going to put Michael Berry on in Portland? 406 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: For he's Southern friede. That's why we started embracing the 407 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: term Southern Fride. What's wrong with Southern Fride? The guy 408 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: they put on, well, I won't I better not he 409 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: Let's say he had a regional accent in Mike Siegel, 410 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't the region of the Pacific Northwest. But anyway, 411 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: so Baton Rouge picked us up in the meantime, so 412 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: that was our first affiliates. Now we had two stations, 413 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: then Portland. We have self syndicated over those nineteen years 414 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: and as hard as hell because we had to compete 415 00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: with Premiere and Premiere had, Hey, if you want Rush Limbaugh, 416 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: then you got to take this show. So we were 417 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: up against that and that's a tough, tough putt. And 418 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: so when we got picked up by Premiere that started 419 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: October seventh. We went from thirty affiliates to sixty affiliates 420 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: from October seventh November Dember in three months. In three months, 421 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: we added as many affiliates as it took us nineteen 422 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: years to get on our own. That's crazy, That is crazy. 423 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: But it all started with you good folks supporting us 424 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: on the subject of Ramone and how long he's been 425 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: in radio. So we restructured my contract and we restructured 426 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,239 Speaker 1: everything we do as a business. And that meant that 427 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: our whole team now works for my company and not 428 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: for iHeart anymore. And Ramone got his feelings hurt because 429 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: he didn't get a watch or any cognition when he 430 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: hit twenty years of working for iHeart. He started at 431 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: clear Channel. You just start a clear chown. You started 432 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: with AMFM, what'd you start at? It was clichown? So 433 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: Ramone hit twenty five years, it's now been twenty six years, 434 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: and now he's he doesn't work for that company anymore. 435 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: He works for my company independently, and he got his 436 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: feelings hurt, and Chad and I laughed and laughed, and 437 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: Jim is in on all this. He genuinely got his 438 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: feelings hurt that they didn't buy him or watch when 439 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: he left, because it's always been the case that at 440 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: twenty years the company Eddie would do it himself. I 441 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: don't leave, the company would buy you a watch what 442 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: he thought him a watch. And so now it's a 443 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: running joke in our studio when we have our production 444 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: meeting that we're gonna buy Ramone a watch and he doesn't. 445 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: What's funny is it wouldn't be funny if he was 446 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: in on the joke, but he genuinely got his feelings hurt. 447 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: And amongst guys, if guys find out there's something that 448 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: you actually really genuinely care about, that csing your weakness 449 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: is the worst thing you can do. So that has 450 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: it has become a very funny joke for us. And 451 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to hear about the fact that I 452 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: just mentioned. As always, I enjoy hearing from you. You 453 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: can visit our website at Michael Berryshow dot com. We 454 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: got a new president in just a few days. I 455 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: can't wait. I cannot wait. I pray for the safety 456 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: and security of our president, our incoming president, and I 457 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: never felt the need to do that before, but I 458 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: do now
