At his funeral, I felt know, hey, 120 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, I've always he gets He and my kids 121 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: are good friends, and I felt, okay, I need to 122 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: kind of with his dad gone, I need to make 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: sure you know, uncle Michael's here for whatever he's gonna need. 124 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: But he's early in his college career. Let me just 125 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: kind of get a sense of what's going on here. 126 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: And I would get almost weekly updates from my mom 127 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: on him and on his sister. And I said, high 128 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: school going, and he said it's going well. He didn't 129 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: tell me how well he was doing with his grades, 130 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: but at that time he was in his second year 131 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: of college at Lamar in Beaumont. And I said, hey, 132 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, when you get ready to graduate, if you 133 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: I could hopefully help you find something. There's nothing in Orange, 134 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: but I can hopefully find something for you in Beaumont. 135 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: But I can almost certainly find you something in Houston. 136 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: So he said okay, And I asked him what he 137 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: was studying, and he said computer science. And I remember thinking, well, 138 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: that's wear no way in our family studies computer science. 139 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: We're not a computer We got roughnecks in our family, 140 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: lots of them. We got truck drivers, we got maintenance workers, 141 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: we got a few cops. We don't have computer science people. Right. 142 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: We are white people of the trailer park from southeast Texas. 143 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: You just like literally nobody that I know is a 144 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: computer programmer. This is just weird. I'm thinking there's some 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: diversity clause here to get him hired. Right, So anyway, 146 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: fast forward and he said, well, I'm gonna look in 147 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: Beaumont because you know, my mom passing and he's very 148 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: close to my dad, his grandfather.

And I said, well, there's a lot more 151 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: opportunity in Houston, but if you want my help, you know, 152 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: let me know.

So I know I'm watching 208 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: that look on his face when he comes in. If 209 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: there's a look of concern, it's you know, you see 210 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: in the movies when the wife or the mother is 211 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: out in the front yard and the officers come pulling 212 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: up for a veteran or for somebody and they've died 213 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: in landman. You know, they pull up on the house 214 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: and the woman starts crying and she's you know, she knows, 215 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, bad things have happened. Anyway. Also, Bud Royer, 216 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: several people told me Bud's having all sorts of health 217 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: problems and his wife. So if you've ever enjoyed a 218 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: delicious strawberry rhubarb at Royer's, then say a prayer for 219 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: Bud and his family, jb his son, his daughter, the 220 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: whole family of good people totally end to hold on. 221 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: Just second, So fast forward a couple of weeks ago. 222 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: My nephew says, and he's a saint. He lives there 223 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: with with my dad. We have caretakers for my dad. 224 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: But it's good having Braiden there. You know, my mom gone, 225 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: my brother gone. You know, the world starts to feel 226 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: like a lonely place. So it's good for him knowing 227 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: that at least Braiden's sleeping there at night. Well, Braiden 228 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: graduates his Friday, and you know, he says, hey, I'm 229 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: ready to look in Houston. So I said, all right, 230 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: send me your resume. And he has a three point 231 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: seventy three GPA. So if he finishes this semester with 232 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: a complete four row, he can finish at three point 233 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: seventy five, which is summa cum laude and which is 234 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: pretty darned impressive. And so I look down on his 235 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: resume and I'm expecting what every other kids, a psychology degree, right, 236 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: because that's what kids that don't know what they're going 237 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: to do. Everybody gets a psychology. It's it's just a 238 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: way to get a college degree. It's fine, nobody's going 239 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: into psychology. So I look at it and there's his degree. 240 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me, but his 241 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: degree is in like mis or something, just like Indian Chinese, 242 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: not white people from Orangefield. This is I don't I 243 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: don't know where this came from. Like, we don't even 244 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: have computers in our houses. I don't know what is 245 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: going wrong with this. There's literally nobody. If he if 246 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: he had said, uncle, I'm moving to Asia. I've been 247 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: drafted to play professional high a lie, I'd go, okay, Well, 248 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, in school, you know there's certain things we 249 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: learned about certain countries, and that's one of the things. 250 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: You know, you high lie is some sport and there's 251 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: a picture and then there in againness Book of World Records. 252 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: You've got that Indian guy. It's got the long noil. Fine, 253 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: So just for kicks, I start reading this stuff out 254 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: to my wife and we got Indian family that do this. 255 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: But I don't know. Software proficiency Tableau, never heard of it? Python. 256 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I might have heard of it, but 257 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Our studio no idea what that is. 258 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: And SQL do you know what SQL is? 259 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: To me? 260 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: Shirley c Lickor, I thought that was the funniest damn thing. 261 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: So that's the software proficiency Project Management Tools, prima era 262 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: P six, no idea, Agile methodologies.

Certifications, photoshop, 264 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: business analytics. And the only thing I could think is 265 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: I always wish my brother was here so I could call, 266 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: because he could make me laugh and he remembers things 267 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: better than I do from when we were kids. But 268 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: I would have loved to call him and read him 269 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: all this stuff. And he had those of you who 270 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: got to know him through me, or those of you 271 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: who just knew him from go and try umph. When 272 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: he laughed from the gut, it would go real high, 273 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: very shrill. Yeah, I can't even do it right, but 274 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: it was like a falsetto laugh. And that was his 275 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: most natural like falling out, falling on the ground, really 276 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: really high pitched laugh. And I would have read him 277 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: all of those things because my brother was not a 278 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: good student at all, good person, good cop, a great neighbor, 279 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: great public servant, terrible student and had no interest in it. 280 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: And that his son has this high GPA and in 281 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: computer science, and we would have laughed, and I would 282 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: have gone through every one of our relatives. I had 283 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: a cousin that died in the oil field in the 284 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: patch and Permian basin. A piece of equipment fell on 285 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: him while he was working on it as it roused 286 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: about we've got cops. As I said, we've got a 287 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: lot of people that worked in plant maintenance or bus 288 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: driving and that sort of stuff. The appliance repairman in 289 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: hillgore the idea that there was a computer nerd in 290 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: our family, he would have found funny and extremely proud. 291 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: So I posted this to Facebook, and I've heard from 292 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: people like Sandy Peterson and people who hire these kind 293 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: of people.

We really should 300 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: do a job, We really should. You are listening to 301 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: Michael Barry's show. 302 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 2: We Can Business. 303 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: My friend Rick Dope is a broker who works Chapel Hill, 304 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: Brenham round Top, that whole area, and he's always looking 305 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: for a property out there because he wants me to 306 00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: do another RCC app. So he's been after me. There's 307 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: this place for sale, twenty five two hundred Bernard Road 308 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: in New Ulm, and it was called the Tasting Room. 309 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: It's ten point six acres, which is nice. It's in 310 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: Austin County, which I like. Two point seventy five million 311 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't like, but you could make that work forty 312 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: eight hundred square feet. The problem is it's a very 313 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: prissy wine tasting room. And when you pay that kind 314 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: of money for a place for my people to come to, 315 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: I gotta walk in and throw peanuts on the floor 316 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: to start with it. I gotta undo all the stuff 317 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: you did. My people are not wine people. They're bourbon 318 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: and beer people. Now I know all the ladies are 319 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: going to nice not true, Michael. We can do rosees 320 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: and red wines. That is not my people. You can 321 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 1: have those things, that's fine. It's a beautiful brick building. 322 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: But I am a poverty individual when it comes to this. 323 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: But this is too nice. It is just absolutely too nice. 324 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: It would ruin the vibe. People do not want the 325 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: next RCC to be so nice. It would kind of, 326 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: you know, just mess things up. So there was a 327 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: story related to Katie. It was reported by Channel thirteen, 328 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: and there's a woman who has a shop called Limited 329 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: Edition Art something like that named Betsy Proctor, and the 330 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: story went that she's been putting on this antique.

In order for retail to 334 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: work in twenty twenty four, you've got to do more 335 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: than just have a shop like Magpies give. They're two locations. 336 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: They are chasing down gifts for people. They are having 337 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: private parties where people, you know, Will Hawkins, one of 338 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: our show sponsors, Hawkins Lee Service. He goes in at 339 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Christmas every year and he gives every woman in there 340 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: like five hundred doll I don't know how much, hundreds 341 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: of dollars and they go in there for two hours 342 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: and they just take over the store, and the ladies 343 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: in there they buy gifts for themselves and then he 344 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: takes them for a boozy lunch and that's their Christmas party. 345 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: But so this Katie, this lady and Katie, she started 346 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: this thing supposedly, and then the city came in and said, 347 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: you're not blocking off the streets anymore. You can't do that. 348 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: That's the function and she claims they're trying to steal 349 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: it from her. Well, we tried to have her on 350 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: the show, but she wouldn't call in. We called her shop, 351 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: and I'm told by people in the know the reason 352 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: she wouldn't call in is because she's a screaming liberal 353 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: and that there's more to this story. So of all 354 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: the people who said it more to the story, I 355 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: sprayed out emails and said, hey, if there's more to 356 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: the story, somebody's got to tell me what more to 357 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: the story there is. Nobody wants to go on the record. 358 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: Everybody's afraid. But we found a woman named Lynn who 359 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: will Lynn? You have a shop in Katie. 360 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 3: Hi? No, I actually don't. I'm just a super involved 361 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: community member. 362 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: So tell me what we don't know. If there's more 363 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: to the story, I'm interested to spill the tea. 364 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 3: So first off, first off, basically anything there's an article 365 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: as well, hardly any of it's true. For one thing, 366 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 3: the market hasn't even been going on for thirty years. 367 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 3: Most importantly, this was not Bee's Babies. Katie Business Association 368 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 3: in March of four actually came up with this idea. 369 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 3: The board of directors did they came up with an 370 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 3: idea for a business expo to bring attention. 371 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: To downtown KT. 372 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 3: She ended up being on the committee and then later on, 373 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 3: you know, running with it on her own. KI Business 374 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: Association did not start this for profit. It was so 375 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 3: solely to bring attention to downtown and the business is 376 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: downtown KB. So I don't know where thirty years came from. 377 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 3: I don't know where the concept that she started this market. 378 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 3: But none of that's correct. And I found that out 379 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 3: and my husband told me that you were on the 380 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: radio talking about it, and I didn't know the exact facts, 381 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 3: but I know I knew some of this stuff and 382 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 3: I found it out in less than you know, twenty 383 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: four hours. But journalists, you know, go on the TV 384 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: and or ride an article and don't even dig into 385 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: find out the correct information. 386 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: So why do you think she's doing this? 387 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 3: I think know what happened is recently the Katie had 388 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 3: a strategic planning meeting was open to the public. It 389 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: was advertised so the city to discussed their goals for 390 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: the upcoming year. Well, the last five years, Katie has 391 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 3: spent ten to twelve million dollars renovating downtown. It's it's beautiful, 392 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: what is really fun events they have. They've built a 393 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 3: civic center, They've built public bathrooms, which by the way, Ms. 394 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: Procter begged them for for years, so it's it's very 395 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 3: much their advantage because it's right across from her store. 396 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: They've they've done beautiful payment landscaping. It's really fun. Just 397 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 3: it need to hang out. Yes, actually they do. They 398 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: maintain them very well. And that's another thing is after 399 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: these events that Betsy profits from, the city is coming 400 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 3: in behind having to clean up the restrooms, pick up trash, 401 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 3: and I am paying as a taxpayer and paying for this. 402 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: I'm paying for city employees to pick up someone's garbage 403 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: from an event that someone profits from. 404 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: Do they have nice children in the bathrooms? Because a 405 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: lot of public bathrooms is like, tell you what, had 406 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: hemorrhoidsm more than one occasion the doctor told him that, Sereen, 407 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. 408 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: So listen, my husband and I were We're walking around 409 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 3: the strolling around like late at night with our dogs 410 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: checking things out, not long after they put them up, 411 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 3: and the bathrooms are gorgeous, like you walk in and 412 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 3: the light comes on and the toilet paper's nights. 413 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: I like that. 414 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: Hold on. 415 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: Allow me to introduce myself. 416 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 3: My name is Mitter Michael Berry Genius. 417 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: And your pad this Free to Walk. We're going back 418 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: to len and the drama in Katie. They have caught 419 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: who they suspect is the United Healthcare CEO Assassin. Yes, 420 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm aware. I'm not talking about it because we don't 421 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: know for sure that's him, and I don't really care 422 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: about his manifesto. And I think that people do things 423 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: like this because they desperately want attention. And if we 424 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: could stop talking about it for five minutes, which people 425 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: cannot seem to do, then they would stop doing that. 426 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: And that is the reason you have school shooters, is 427 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: because people obsess over it. And when I say stop 428 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: obsessing over it, they try to act like by obsessing 429 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: over it, there's somehow paying respect to the people who 430 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: were killed. That's not what you're doing. You are playing 431 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 1: into the hands of the shooter. Period in the story, 432 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: I got a number of emails from people who really 433 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: get me, and I want to thank you because you 434 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: are the one percenter. What do Walton and Johnson do 435 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: top ten percent? Ten percenters? A number of you sent 436 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: emails to me saying, Michael Barry, this is your day 437 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: because it's Dewey Decimal System day. It's technically Dewey decimal classification. 438 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: That's what it's called. It was named for Melville Dewey, 439 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: who was the founder of the Lake Placid Club and 440 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: the chief librarian at Columbia University and a founding member 441 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: of the American Library Association. This guy was the Mark 442 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: Andreeson of libraries, Mark Andresen who came up with Netscape. 443 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Because you had the Www thing out there that Al 444 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: Gore claimed he invented. He didn't. But you didn't know 445 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: how to find anything. You had no compass. You were 446 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: out And we take for granted now the power of 447 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: the search engine to get what you want, and with 448 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: AI it's even better. But in those days, well, you 449 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: just had books everywhere and there was no way to 450 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: struct make sure them. And Melville Dewey came up with 451 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: a system that I loved as a kid. I like 452 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: to bring order to disorder. I like to bring structure 453 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: to chaos. It makes me happy, it calms my nerves. 454 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: And Melville Dewey is a superstar. Now, if you read 455 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: about Melville Dewey, you will find out that he supposedly 456 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: didn't like Jews and blacks, so we're not supposed to 457 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: honor him as a great man. And I find that 458 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: very odd. How many people who made a great contribution. 459 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: The person who cures cancer is going to be honored, 460 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: and then somebody's going to come in behind and go, well, 461 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: remember he got mad at that black guy that stole 462 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: his wallet and said man, black people saidwhow, yeah, you're right, 463 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: let's don't honor him for curing cancer. Amy writes people 464 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: telling you that Galvil isn't any good. That reminds me 465 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: of every time I order a Hamburger, I say no mayonnaise. 466 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: Every single time they reply it doesn't come with mayonnaise. 467 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: Their reply is unnecessary, unwarranted, and ignorant. Jeff writes El Casino. 468 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: Whatever happened was Sylvester Turner's one hundred thousand dollars a 469 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: year of Prentice? Is he going to be his congressional aide? 470 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: As well? That was Marvin Agamagu, remember the one hundred 471 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars executive of Prentice. I don't know, I don't 472 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: know whatever happened to him. My favorite part was when 473 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: Mario Diaz at Channel two said, mayor, how come Marvin 474 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: Agamagu a handsome young man. I think Sylvester would agree. 475 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: How come Marvin Agamagu was making one hundred thousand dollars 476 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: as an intern called an executive intern, didn't go through 477 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: the city procedures at a time when the city has 478 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: a hiring freeze. And Sylvester said, Marvin, who, I don't 479 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: know him? And he goes on, well, here's a bunch 480 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: of pictures of you and him traveling the world. We 481 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: don't know if y'all shared the same room. We suspect 482 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: you did. Here's y'all all cuddled up, and here's y'all 483 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: all cuddled up. And here's y'all all cuddled up, and 484 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: here's y'all. He said, Oh, that Marvin AGAMAGHU understandable. 485 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: You know. 486 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, Mike Smith or Tony Jones. There's 487 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: a lot of Marvin Agamagha's. You got to tell me 488 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: which Marvin Agamagu you're talking about? All right, Lynn, what 489 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: is the upshot? Are you? Are you siding with the 490 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 1: City of Katie on this deal? And do you have 491 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: any connection to the mayor, the city council or anyone else. 492 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: I got to make sure you're not running game on 493 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: us here. 494 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: Okay, so no, no, no, So I will preface I 495 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 3: am friends with a couple of the council members, I 496 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: know the mayor, but does anybody that knows me with 497 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 3: the city. I am marry outspoken when I feel like 498 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: they overstep, I keep my officials, I hold them accountable. 499 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 3: So I have been very vocal about things in the 500 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 3: past against the city. This is not that. This is 501 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 3: so petty and silly. They tried. They basically wanted financial 502 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: transparency from Betsy. She requires vendors to pay cash. She 503 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: claims she doesn't make profit.

Yeah, yeah, 510 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I know a dumpster costs a little bit, 511 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 3: but not anywhere close to that. 512 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Well I've never been to I'm going to check it out. 513 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 514 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: Well, so we tried, I mean, we tried very hard 515 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: to get her on the show and she can call 516 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: in anytime and offer her side. 517 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: He's actually she has claimed on her Facebook page that 518 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 3: she tried to call in and there was no answer. 519 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 3: That is three times called huh. So I emailed you 520 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 3: that screenshot. 521 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: I have a private investigator, Paul Baker, who tracks people down. 522 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: He called. We called her shop fifteen times at a minimum. 523 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: I called and Ramone called for two hours straight. I 524 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: went on her website and I filled out the contact 525 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: US and gave the call in number here, and I 526 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: put it out on the air. I will tell you 527 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: not to crack. But if somebody is in the state 528 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: of Texas and I say, hey, we need this person 529 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: on the air, and we're not going to hang them 530 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: out to dry. We're going to tell their story. It's 531 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: never the case that we can't track them down within 532 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: an hour. People will wear them out. So there was 533 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: every opportunity for them. So I'm going to give her 534 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: every opportunity to come on the air and tell her story. 535 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: I will tell you though these little community markets. A 536 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: friend of mine who turned sixty nine years old yesterday, 537 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy Pappas, he's the mayor of one of those little villages, 538 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: the little hamlet villages, Bunker Point or Piney Creek or 539 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: one of those. I forget which one, which drives him 540 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: crazy Hedwig plays or something. Anyway, he started a little 541 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: community market over on Bynhorn, which is a voting location, 542 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: and the church itself is kind of whacked out. It's 543 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: like a Unitarian so they got like, you know, Carne 544 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre might be their next priest. But they have 545 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: a they rent the place there, and it's a guy 546 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: who homeschools.

Home kids. 548 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: They drive around in a VW bus and when they're 549 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: when the market closes for a month, they go to 550 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: historic sites around the country and his kids have to 551 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: write essays on it and his kids each run a booth. 552 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: And it is the best community market I've ever been to. 553 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: It's on Buying Horn. If you go check it out, 554 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: it is. There's cheeses and it's the best damn thing 555 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: I've ever seen.
