So when I started my business, I 174 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: was going to just go with a simple name, but 175 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: they said, no, you're the Dragon Lady. It needs to 176 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: be Dragon Lady Airboats. 177 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: Well, you know what's amazing is is people are afraid 178 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: to do anything that's kind of outside the norm. It's 179 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 2: so memorable. Right, if you were Smith Airboats or Jones 180 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: Airboats or whatever else did, they would have forgotten. But 181 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: Dragon Lady Airboats, you remember. 182 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: That absolutely, and I want them to remember their trip 183 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: as well. I tried to make it a bucket list 184 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: trip for every single passenger. 185 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: When did you start this business? 186 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: About eight years ago? Nine years ago? 187 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: And what were you doing before that? 188 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: I was teaching school and science and decided I needed 189 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: to be outside. I tried to take each class outside 190 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: and get them involved in wild life and off their telephones, 191 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: off the distractions of life. And so I just decided 192 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: to get my captain's license. And I actually did it 193 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: the hard way. I could not have a small child 194 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: at the time and could not leave town to go 195 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: to a two week course to get my captain's license. 196 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: So I learned everything I needed to know and then 197 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: went and took my federal tests, passed everything with flying color, 198 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: got my license, and started my business. 199 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: I would guess you would be a great teacher. I 200 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 2: can tell that you enjoy knowledge and learning. You sound 201 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 2: very pleasant, and you have a wonderful voice, like a 202 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: very nice present. 203 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 1: Very much, Yeah, what did you very much? Science? Chemistry, physics, biology, 204 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: Earth science? Did you teach you all everything I did 205 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: at Community Christian School? 206 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: Oh? Well, okay, all right? So where are you from Florida? 207 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I am originally from Melbourne, Florida. 208 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: Okay, how did you end up so you went to 209 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: you went all the way through high school? 210 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: There? 211 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 6: No. 212 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: Actually, when I was young, my father moved out to Texas. 213 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: So I got into airboating because, at age fourteen, my 214 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: father went on his first airboat ride and decided that 215 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: was all he ever wanted to do. So I grew 216 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: up in the outdoors in the airboats. All of our 217 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: family experiences were in an airboat, contrails, exploring. So I 218 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: just fell in love with the outdoors, fell in love 219 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: with airboats, and I build air boats with him as well. 220 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: We have American airboats in Orange. 221 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 2: Oh, that's the one I was talking about.

I've never shot a 348 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: turkey before, and I'm first time I've ever shot a crossbow. 349 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, but I have been fortunate 350 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: enough that you hand me a rifle some other weapon, 351 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: and I'm usually dead on. 352 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 2: You're my kind of girl. Do you do a turkey 353 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 2: call yourself? 354 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: No, I do not. 355 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: There's somebody there with you do it? 356 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: No, actually they I was hoping to shoot a deer 357 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: this morning. I've been watching some really nice books come 358 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: into my feeter, and the turkeys just would not leave. 359 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: So I took the opportunity to get a turkey with 360 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: a crossbow as well. 361 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: Well, I'm no expert in that, but that's supposed to 362 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: be very difficult. 363 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: It is very difficult. They do not they do not 364 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: sit still. They are constantly moving and it was definitely 365 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: a trick to get a good shot. Where are you, honey, 366 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: We are in Serita, Texas. We've got a little rants 367 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: down here close to Kingsville. 368 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: Are you married? 369 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: No, I am not. 370 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: But you have how many kids? Yeah? 371 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: I have one sixteen year old daughter. 372 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: And is she involved in the business, No, sir. 373 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: She wants to be a doctor, and so I'm doing 374 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: everything I can to keep her focused on that. 375 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: You don't see. You don't see airboat tours in her future. No, sir, 376 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's just fantastic. So you 377 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: said about an hour and a half for the tour. 378 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: What's the most tours you've ever done in a day? 379 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: Six six tours. That's a long day. You're starting pretty early. 380 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: That's a very long day, and so I not only 381 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: do these hour and a half trips during the day, 382 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: but I also offer really neat adventure that is a 383 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: sunset trip, and we leave out about forty five minutes 384 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: before dark. Watch the sun go down out through the 385 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: trees in the marsh or the swamp, and then we 386 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: spotlight alligators and bullfrogs, and it's just a little bit 387 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: more mysterious out there, and a very very cool adventure. 388 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: Probably go through an entire ice chest on that that 389 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 2: sounds like a lot of fun. 390 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: Hey, I cater to the group. They're welcome to bring 391 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: their ice chests with whatever they like. 392 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 2: I love that you are putting Orange in such a 393 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 2: positive spotlight. I grew up in Orange. I left, but 394 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: I have very very fond feelings towards the people, and 395 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 2: the place is very, very very good to me. I 396 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: grew up before you were on. I was telling the 397 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: story because I was talking about the airboat place. Obviously 398 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: I didn't know that was your family's place. But I 399 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: grew up in Riverside like everybody else I knew. Grew 400 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: up in Riverside, and then we moved over near Western 401 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 2: Starks High School and then we moved out to Orangefield. 402 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: I actually lived in Mclewis if you know where that is. 403 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 2: I ten and sixty two. Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. It's 404 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 2: a great place to grow up. I wouldn't change it 405 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: for the world. Wonderful people. I think this is the 406 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 2: neatest thing ever. 407 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: Captain Sally, Well, thank you, and I feel very blessed 408 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: because we have got a little hidden gym of a swampt. 409 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm able to traverse and take my passengers back through 410 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: the Blue Elbow Swamp. 411 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: And it's for some reason found a turkey call and 412 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: feels the need to interrupt our conversation with it. But 413 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: he's very excited. He's already called his wife and they're 414 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 2: going to be coming to orange to take his two 415 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: boys on an airboat tour. He's extremely excited. How booked 416 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 2: up are you? 417 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: I say, extremely booked up? So it's best to call 418 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: about two weeks in advance. Well, if it's a holiday 419 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: coming up, then sometimes even more than that. I have 420 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: waiting lists. 421 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: I suspect that's going to get a whole lot worse 422 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: after this conversation online. She is dragon Lady Airboats. You 423 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 2: are just adorable. Thank you for being on with us, 424 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: Captain Sally. 425 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it. 426 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, how about that, Ramon. There's so many neat 427 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: people around, you know, if you just keep your mind open, 428 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 2: there's so many interesting people. Things that people think are 429 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 2: you know, average, run on the mill, get you get 430 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: them talking, and you realize people are just fast. I mean, 431 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: she interrupted her turkey, she shot the turkey, she's letting 432 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 2: the bleed out, has a conversation and goes back to get. 433 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: Her turkey about Texas and you're listening to my son 434 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: on the Michael Berry. 435 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: I was going to give out Captain Sally's phone number 436 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: for Dragon Lady Airboats, but I'm worried we'll interrupt her 437 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: turkey hunt. How about that? So we went to break 438 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: and Ramone said, guess what she's doing right now? I 439 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: give up. She's in the tub. I don't know what 440 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: would be a thing that we've interrupted, or that she's 441 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: turkey hunting. And so I thought she was on a 442 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: turkey hunt. I didn't realize she had just killed a turkey. 443 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: How about that in the middle of her turkey hunt 444 00:24:54,680 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 2: she called back. You know, people like her are very smart. 445 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: She will get a lot of business off our show, 446 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 2: and it's all or nothing. If she didn't take the call, 447 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: then she doesn't get any of that business. Oh she 448 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: would have probably got because that nice man that called 449 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: in and he mentioned dragging Lady airboat, so so a 450 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 2: few people might might have looked that up. But after 451 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: going on, everybody goes, wow, she's so charing, and you know, 452 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: she reminds me of so many of my teachers from on. 453 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 2: You know, she's got the science teacher mentality. And she's 454 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: out on an airboat, so you know, while she's going 455 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: up in there, she's telling you about the different things 456 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: that are growing and why the bullfrog is you know, 457 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: is croaking like that, and then there's one that's in heat, 458 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 2: and then there's one that's wounded, and then that one's 459 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: thirty eight years old. You can tell by the number 460 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 2: of rings on his ear lobe or whatever else. Yeah, 461 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: they do have earlobes, it's just kind of different kind 462 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: of ear lobe. And then she tells you about the tree. 463 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: You know, she tells you everything about out the swamp 464 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: that you would not otherwise expect, and in such a 465 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: charming way. She just adorable. I wish she was my aunt. 466 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 2: If she was my aunt, I would call Captain Sally 467 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: every day when I got off and I would ask her. 468 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: There are a lot of people in my life who 469 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 2: I may tell me one thing per day, whether it's 470 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: a legal thing or a police thing or a medical thing, 471 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: and they don't appreciate it. But I'm relentless, and I 472 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 2: say it as if they're supposed to do it. So 473 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: I'll call and I'll say my opening line is what 474 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 2: you got for me? And they'll tell me their their 475 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: fact or perspective or experience for the day. But with 476 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: Captain Sally, I could probably do two a day for her. 477 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: I bet she could do two. Did you set yours 478 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 2: up already? You better set it up right now, because 479 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 2: otherwise this is what always happens to me. I don't 480 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: give out the name of my limo driver anymore because 481 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: I go or my cigar I never forget. I used 482 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 2: to do the Ashton Cabinet number seven, and so I 483 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: call over one day and I say, Hey, I'm gonna 484 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: swing by. Can I get one hundred sticks? He said 485 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: they're out. We mean they're out. They sold out, And 486 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 2: I said that's ridiculous. How do they how do they 487 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: sell out? They're in the business of selling cigars. He said. 488 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 2: I called a rep and told him I need some cigars, 489 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 2: and the rep said, we're out. He said, I really 490 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: need these for Michael Barry. That's all he smokes. And 491 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: the guy said, well, he's the reason we're out. Once 492 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: he started talking about him, we started selling them, and 493 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: they were gonna do like some nice gift because they 494 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 2: sold so many cigars. But instead of giving me a 495 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 2: gift for how many cigars of theirs I sold, they're 496 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: not a show sponsor. They instead just ran out and 497 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: couldn't repeat them.

Sulman Lalaani, So evidently he is our 532 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 5: district or mind particular representative here, and I wanted to 533 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 5: know because there's nowhere on the newsletter that says if 534 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 5: he's Democrat, if he's Republican, blah blah blah blah blah, 535 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 5: and I wanted to know a little bit about him. 536 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 5: He was elected in twenty twenty three for the first time. 537 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 5: Was the first information that I got from his representative 538 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 5: when I called his sugar Land office. 539 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: So a couple of. 540 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 5: Things with this call. I wanted to know what you 541 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 5: knew about him within the Texas House, and then I 542 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 5: received information from Aaron, the representative at Sugarland that answered 543 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 5: the call, and so then I had some concerns and 544 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 5: I had a contentious discussion with Aaron in regards to 545 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 5: was doctor Lalani. One of the folks who ended up 546 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 5: leaving Texas and running for the hills up in Chicago 547 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 5: or New York or whatever. And so then I did 548 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 5: get my answer to that, So I'll go ahead and. 549 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: Michael, No, I don't know anything about this person. Unfortunately, 550 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: if they don't tell you and you're in Texas, they're 551 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: a Democrat. That's how you know.
