Speaker 1: Robert, you're on the Michael Berry Show.

32
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 7: Hello, Michael Coincidentally, I have a story about Richmond, Texas.

33
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 7: It took place back in nineteen forty five, and there

34
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 7: was a Mexican at the White House being awarded the

35
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 7: Medal of Honor in August. In September, he came home,

36
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 7: They got a pass, gave him a pass. He came home,

37
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 7: still in the army. So he came home to sugar Land,

38
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 7: where his family had been sharecroppers for about thirteen years.

39
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 7: And then he went to get a bite to eat

40
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 7: at the Oasis Cafe in Richmond, Texas. You know, Sugarland

41
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 7: and Richmond real close together. But they wouldn't serve him

42
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 7: because he was a Mexican, and they beat him with

43
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 7: a baseball bag. Actually they it was a white woman.

44
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 7: A white woman.

45
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: This not Johnny Paycheck's Colorado kool aid?

46
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 8: Is it.

47
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 7: Me or the person I'm talking.

48
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: To the song. It's not the song, is it.

49
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 7: I don't even know that song. Michael.

50
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh, he cut his ear clean off, and then it

51
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: reached in, picked up off the ground, reached in and

52
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: spoke to it in his ear.

53
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 7: But ahead, this is Michael, this is serious, a serious story.

54
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure it is. That's a serious song.

55
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 7: Uh well, okay, well, thank you for thank for letting

56
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 7: me know that. Hey, anyway, he's He was a combat

57
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 7: veteran in Europe for six months as first gout for

58
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 7: the Assault Battalion of the twenty second Regiment. He killed

59
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 7: many people. If you read his Medal of Honor citation,

60
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 7: you'll see he's a very fair minded man. He saved

61
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 7: people's life during the altercation in Germany when he was

62
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 7: in actual combat with the enemy and the only one

63
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 7: who could save his company from decimation from artillery. At

64
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 7: any rate, the woman was very lucky. She didn't lose

65
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 7: her life. She just lost a few teeth. What happened

66
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 7: is the army they came and arrested him. Richmond did

67
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 7: the sheriff, and the army came and got him out

68
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 7: of jail and said, hey, he is still in the army.

69
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 7: He's not under your jurisdiction. Sorry, Richmond knew they had

70
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 7: stepped in it, and they tried to sweep it under

71
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 7: the carpet. But the Mexican American community could not handle

72
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 7: what had happened. They just couldn't. They just said, this

73
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 7: is too much, this is too far. You draft somebody,

74
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 7: you put him in the army, you put them on

75
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 7: the front line, they get the Medal of Honor, you

76
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 7: bring him home, and you won't even serve him any food.

77
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 7: This is too far. So a guy named John Jay Herrera,

78
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 7: who had felled the bar about six times and finally

79
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 7: passed it, became his lee attorney. John J. Herrera leaked

80
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 7: the story to Walter Winchell in New York, and Walter

81
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 7: Winchell over the radio nashally called Richmond, Texas the dirtiest

82
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 7: little town in Texas. So anyway, that's the story.

83
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's Colorado kool aid by Johnny Pacheck.

84
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 7: Michael, I don't know what you're talking about.

85
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: You know, they write songs about things that happen.

86
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 7: Well, that song's not about well, okay, well let's just

87
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 7: go with you. Let's say that song is about Macardia

88
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 7: Garcia and by the way, y'all, y'all advertised thunderbolts a

89
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 7: lot and thunderbolts on the at the intersection of staff

90
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 7: Sergeant maccartie or Garcia.

91
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Yep, I know, yep.

92
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 7: So anyway, Hey, Michael, that's all I had. If it's

93
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 7: not enough to engage in, no problem, Well.

94
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good story. I don't know

95
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: what you want me to.

96
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 7: Do, Michael. You asked people to call in with bad

97
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 7: stories about the city problems in Richmond, Texas. Uh, Richmond, Texas.

98
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 7: That's where it happened. Oased this cafe in Richmond, Texas.

99
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 7: They still haven't learned their lessons evidently, Uh, by the

100
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 7: way they treated you and the way they treated that

101
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 7: lady who bought the the the heirloom.

102
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Well, I agree, I let you tell the story. I

103
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: don't know what you want me to do. I'm not

104
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: sure how I'm feeling.

105
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 7: You know what I want you to do. I want

106
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 7: you to hang up because that's what I'm going to do.

107
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 7: Thank you.

108
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: For more.

109
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Do you do you understand why he was so mad?

110
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense to me. You probably don't

111
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: like Johnny Payjack. It was a good story, although he

112
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: buried the lead. I mean it was a good Paul

113
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Harvey reveal where at the end it was macaryol Garcia.

114
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: I think he forgot to tell that part because at

115
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: the very end, and you know, the worst part is

116
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: the worst thing they did to dishonor MACARYO Garcia named

117
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: a street after him and the worst part of town.

118
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 8: Doing it big on the Michael Berry Show.

119
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking to myself then I had

120
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: a real Red Savine feel to it. So I didn't

121
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: know who wrote it. I didn't know if Johnny Paycheck

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: himself wrote it or not. So I looked it up.

123
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: It was written by Phil Thomas, but it was first

124
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: recorded by Red Solvine. That is a glorious time in

125
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: American music for me, when you had the spoken word

126
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: songs of the Red Sorons.

127
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: Like Teddy Bear. Oh, I guess me. Ever, now.

128
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: Red Skelton did the pledge of allegiance. Oh, Terry's back.

129
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: Uh, Oh, this is not going well.

130
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: I can hardly tell Terry. You're on the Michael Berry Show.

131

Speaker 2: We move a lot.

154
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: Our last house we had regular doors, but they were glass,

155
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: and even though we had fencing and walls and all

156
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, I stoodn't. I wasn't wild about

157
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: that concept. And my wife likes to leave the door open.

158
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: I think this is a foreign thing. And she likes

159
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: to when I'm not there, she likes to leave the

160
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: doors open and let the air come through. And so

161
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: I went to Southern Front Door and I got the

162
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: forged iron kind of decorative and it's it's like a

163
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: it's like a front gate sort of deal.

164
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: You know, they had real decorative.

165
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Iron, but the air come through and you could see out,

166
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: but yet it was still locked. You know, a person

167
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: couldn't get through them. Well, that's fantastic. Who were the

168
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: others that you used?

169
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 8: Well, then we went to Flarerty's and we shopped around

170
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 8: where we were building, and Larry's just had a better price.

171
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 8: And of course it took about three trips for my

172
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 8: wife to go through there. And I cannot remember the

173
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 8: lady's name. She worked with their off the Grant Roach

174
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 8: in the Cypress area, but I know our license plate

175
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 8: is tinker Belt and she had the patients, you know,

176
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 8: with my wife, and they finally got all the flouring,

177
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 8: and they did all the flouring our old houses style

178
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 8: except for the master closet. Then there's three bathrooms that

179
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 8: are all tiled, the showers and also she picked out

180
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 8: all that all that went real good. So as the

181
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 8: house got a little further along. We toured this house

182
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 8: last year about this time of year, and we didn't

183
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 8: have a lot of water to keep the slap cool cooled.

184
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 8: So the front and rear front, forestback patio they all

185
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 8: had some little surface cracks. So we called up Allied

186
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 8: Outdoor Solutions. They came out about three times, show us

187
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 8: simples and what they're going to do, and of course

188
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 8: we threw the Michael Berry name out there so that

189
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 8: they worked with us on the price and stuff, and

190
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 8: we came to a pattern that we liked on there.

191
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 8: In fact, we even added the sidewalk all the way

192
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 8: out to the driveway done up. And then probably the

193
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 8: best one was Dale Sun for Sunfire coating. Yeah, super

194
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 8: nice guy man. In fact, we were on vacation and

195
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 8: I just get I said, Dale, here, here's the combination

196
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 8: to the gate, here's a combination to the garage. He

197
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 8: did our garage and our order. J all in the

198
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 8: you know the chin there on the floor. So we're

199
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 8: all four of them. Great people to work with.

200
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 7: Terry.

201
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate you trusting my recommendation, but I really appreciate you.

202
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: Following up and letting me know how it goes.

203
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: You have no idea. How proud that makes me that

204
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: our model, when our models works, I can always hold

205
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: it together on that song until the mom calls. When

206
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: the mom comes over the air, that's that's the moment. Man, James,

214
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: Interesting, what do you do now?

215
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: I'm a maritime engineer?

216
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: Oh really?

217
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: So what exactly do you do?

219
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 8: Well?

220
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: When I'm on the boat. Depending on which boat I'm

221
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: on right now, I've been working up in and around

222
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: the Oakland, San Francisco area, moving to you know, barges around,

223
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: fuel barges and dredge work. Other than that, sometimes I'm

224
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: working in Long Beach. We'll go out and catch the

225
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: SpaceX rockets that are landing out the Pacific.

226
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Forgive me, I'm not a maritime expert, but is a

227
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: maritime engineer like a locomotive engineer.

228
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: You the operator, No, sir.

229
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: That's the captain of the vessel. I'm the one that

230
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: keeps the engines running, the air conditioning cold, the hydraulics,

231
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: and pretty much keep the boat lit up, fixed things

232
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: and whatnot.

233
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Did you learn to do that in the service.

234
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: No, sir, I didn't. When I got out of the Marines, Uh,

235
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: I didn't know what I wanted to do. So I

236
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: did bartending for a bit, and every once in a

237
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: while these guys would come in with fat wallets and they,

238
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: you know, I kept asking what they did, and they said,

239
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: we work on boats. And I had no you know,

240
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: I was thinking like twenty foot John boats and that

241
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: kind of thing, and they told me. I gave it

242
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: a shot, and I found out I was pretty good

243
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: at it, and uh work my way up a chain,

244
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: and uh, I could have been a captain, but you know,

245
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: I they're stuck in that wheelhouse for hours at a time.

246
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: I like moving around. Yeah, so that's why I went

247
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: to the engineering route.

248
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: So did you was it on the job training?

249
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: Where did you learn to do this?

250
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, yes, yes, I'm sorry, yes, answer your question. Yeah,

251
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: it was all ojat and busted knuckles.

252
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: So when you start, did you have an aptitude for

253
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: miss machinery engineering?

254
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: No?

255
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: No, no, no, not at all, not at all. I was.

256
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 8: I hated it.

257
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: When I was a kid. I'd be up under there

258
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: the car with my dad and he'd be cussing at

259
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: me because I didn't hold the flashlight right. And I

260
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: knew early on I didn't want to do that for

261
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: a living. And anyway, just through habits and well this

262
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: ain't that hard thinking or through the process of illumination,

263
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: I could figure out how to fix certain things. And

264
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: like I said, I didn't want to go to the wheelhouse,

265
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: so I figured I'd just give that a shot. And

266
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: it turned out to be I could when I can.

267
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: I can set my own schedule on the boat, you know,

268
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: and work the hours that I can and when I want,

269
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: and stay out of everybody else's hair, and I can

270
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: do what I want to do when I want.

271
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 8: To do it.

272
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: So are you an employee of their company? Are you

273
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: a private contractor?

274
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: How does that work?

275
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: No, sir, I'm an employee. Just it's I did all

276
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: my education and training and experience primarily in the Gulf

277
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: of Mexico on the old field supply boats and now

278
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: I'm on the tug boats because bigger boats mean bigger problems.

279
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: Smaller boats smaller headaches. So anyway, I'm on tugs up

280
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: and out in California. I've called you before quite a

281
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: few times, but uh, anyhow, No, I just all OJT.

282
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: I've got to. I can really say I had. I've

283
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 3: had a great time in the industry because I had

284
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: I would. I always found myself working with the good guys.

285
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting up, It's Gulf of America about it. Hold on,

286
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: how about you think he makes a year or month?

287
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: I would have guessed. Yeah, probably.

288
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 8: Continues today.

289
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: No time.

290
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: Do you think Jet sings along every Friday?

291
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: Guarantee he does.

292
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: If you're wondering why, we don't know, it's because Chad

293
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: is in the studio that has a wall in between,

294
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: so I can't see him. I can see across the

295
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: glass to see Ramon. Is this What what does that mean?

296
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 8: Oh?

297
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

298
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be around us because we have

299
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: unhealthy habits. And Chad is a an asthete.

300
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,240

Speaker 1: A person who is pure of heart, soul, mind, and body.

304
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: What is the term for that? He is?

305
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: I forget well, straight edge, I mean even goofball it

306
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: is straight edge, but he's more like the whole thing

307
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: A C or a J.

308
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,080

Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, good for him?

312
00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: Okay, uh James, Yes, sir, what do you make as

313
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: a maritime engineer?

314
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: You were pretty much spot on at your estimation there

315
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: at the end of that last conversation.

316
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: About two hundred.

317
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: Now one seventy five. You can, but that's working eight

318
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: months out of the year though, you know you most

319
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 3: of the companies like you to do six months on,

320
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: six months off. But there's such a shortage right now

321
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: for engineers in the industry wide because it's work. It's

322
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: the working part of the boat. Not that deckhands don't work.

323
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: A good deckhand can make eighty grand a year starting.

324
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: But you know, you got to do at least six

325
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: seven months to get your skill sets in and then

326
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: you can decide which route you want to go. A

327
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: lot of people want to go to the wheelhouse because

328
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 3: they think captains and mates they don't do a lot

329
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 3: of sweating, you know what I'm saying. They're not working,

330
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: working physical, not that they don't work. That is work,

331
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: you know, dealing with clients and all that. I don't

332
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: want to have anything to do with that. So whenever

333
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: I go to my engine room, and I swear to God,

334
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm in California with ear pods in in my earphones,

335
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: and you're blasting in my ears while I'm down there

336
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: doing an old change on an engine as big as

337
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: a pickup truck. So, you know, I listen to you

338
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: guys out there, and I'm always telling people your points

339
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: and we talk about it.

340
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: You know.

341
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: I love to hear from people. And I say this

342
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: on the when when we do bonus podcasts, I'll do

343
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: a whole separate intro for that, and I ask people,

344
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, where they're listening, literally and specifically. So people

345
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: will say, I'm in Hershey, Pennsylvania, at the chocolate factory,

346
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: or I'm in you know, some place in Idaho I've

347
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: never been to, and like what you do. That's a

348
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: relatively rare way.

349
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: To make a living.

350
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: But it's fascinating to me the different ways, the different

351
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: things people do.

352
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: Or a lot of people will listen.

353
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: While they're their hobby, while they're whitling ramon some people

354
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: while they're whitling. Yes, will listen, but you you had

355
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: called about something, So I want to give you a

356
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: minute to say that, and then I'll go to Bill.

357
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: What I appreciate that. Yes, So, just watching the news

358
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 3: and everything on all the channels, I'm seeing where it appears,

359
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: and people are saying that the Democrats planned to shut

360
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 3: down long before this came to, you know, the new

361
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 3: government funding. And my wife and I listen to you

362
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: every day I'm at home and I'm just thinking, you know,

363
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: and me and her talk about this past couple of nights.

364
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: Are they going to sandbag this? Is there a way

365
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: they can sandbag this peace deal with Israel in Palestine?

366
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: Is there a way they can get in there and

367
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 3: screw this up? Because they will. Certain people true themselves

368
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: to be Yeah, they will. Okay, what's your.

369
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know how they do it? Who knows?

370
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: But yes, I do believe the shutdown was planned. In fact,

371
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I think that they I think that the illegal alien

372
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: health care was inserted and drawn and brought to the

373
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: attention of Republicans for the sole purpose of them opposing it.

374
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: They wanted they were baiting Republicans into a fight, and

375
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: that way they could create the shutdown because they need

376
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: to know if you remember what they did to Trump.

377
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: Starting in January of twenty twenty, the economy was booming,

378
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: things were going great, and they knew this is no

379
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: environment in which to defeat him in the election.

380
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 2: So you have.

381
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: COVID starts shortly. COVID actually sort of began at that point,

382
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: but by March it was in full swing. The country

383
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: was in shutdown mode, and now everybody was living scared,

384
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: post apocalyptic in their houses. So now nobody was going out.

385
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: So now you do ballot by mail, and so you

386
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: have all the things that work together. You had George Floyd.

387
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: There's always a George Floyd case. There's always some black

388
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: dude that that you know, suicide by cop or in

389
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: that case, takes an overdose and dies, and and you

390
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: know a group of people come around in cops, all

391
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: bad people, and so that all of those things were

392
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: designed to work together to dislodge Trump, and it worked

393
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: at that and all the cheating that went with it,

394
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: and it worked. So yes, you know a lot of

395
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: people don't still don't seem to understand that nothing you

396
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: watch coming out of Washington d c is authentic. It

397
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: is all performative, it is all kabuki theater. It is

398
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: all pre planned, prescripted. The only thing that is not

399
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: is how we react. Sometimes we react differently, and I

400
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: think they're probably quite disappointed that they're not getting the

401
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: support with the lockdown that they want. So I think

402
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: what we're about to start is by next week, we're

403
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: going to start seeing people. We're going to see story

404
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: from CBSABC, NBC, MSNBCCNN of this person is about to

405
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: die because the government is shut down. We're going to

406
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: find cases where you've got to have the government or

407
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: this person will die, and that'll become the big story,

408
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: kind of the George Floyd story. And they'll pick somebody

409
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: white who is a Republican who voted for Trump, and

410
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: that person is about to die because the government has

411
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: shut down and they desperately need the government to reopen,

412
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: and that person will look into canas say I.

413
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: Voted for Donald Trump. I liked Donald Trump, but I

414
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: didn't vote for this.

415
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: We're about to die down here in southern Texas and

416
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: President Trump's got to reopen the government.

417
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: I can't believe he's doing this. Why would he do this?

418
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: I wished I hadn't.

419
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 2: Voting for him.

420
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: And there'll be that whole that little game that they'll

421
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: play so and there will be people. There are stupid people.

422
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: We have to recognize that. Some of them are nice.

423
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: Some of them go to church with us, they live

424
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: next door to us. But they're very, very very stupid.

425
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: They're naive to the point of being slow. We used

426
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: to call that special. They're really really stupid sheeple who

427
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: can be convinced of things because they see it on

428
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: the news and then they come to You know, I'm

429
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: not wanting to be easily swayed. I'll tell you what,

430
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: But but I think this. You keep saying this, this

431
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: COVID is not bad. I think this thing can take.

432
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: This could be like Spanish flu in nineteen eighteen. I'm

433
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: double You can make fun of me all you want.

434
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm double masking. I'm taking a shot. I'm gonna take

435
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: every booster. I'm doing everything that this thing kill us.

436
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: All Okay, there
