I just wanted to call 63 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: and brag on my son, Preston. He's fifteen, a sophomore 64 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: at Braslewood High School in Lake Jackson. He was sent 65 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 3: to the principal's office. I got a call from them 66 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 3: by one of his teachers named Missus dry and for 67 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: always being the most polite, respectful, and helpful student in 68 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: her class. 69 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: Missus dry, Yes, how do you spell that. 70 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: Dry? The traditional spelling of dry well. 71 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: Don't get with me. It could be drye. It could 72 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: be d r I g h. It could be dr ai, 73 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: it could be a lot of things. It's a last name, 74 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: you don't know. I mean, the truth is, the fact 75 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: is it's probably something very different. At Ellis Island, they 76 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: just said, you're dry. Okay, what what's his name? I 77 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: can't read it. You're dry. Your last name is now dry. 78 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: I love that. I love everything about that. So here's 79 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: what's here's what's amazing how these things line up. So 80 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: we went to break on that first call at eight 81 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: forty two. Right at eight forty two fifty five, that's 82 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: that's when our clock we have to be out for 83 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: the break because then it automates for the for the 84 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: commercial break at eight forty am exactly. I had received 85 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: an email, but I hadn't read it because I was 86 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: in the middle of talking about that very moving story 87 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: about the kid being sent Jase being sent to Ms 88 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 2: Patterson at Guhardo Elementary for good behavior. So I go 89 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: to my emails and my first email is from a 90 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: teacher that says mister and missus Barry. The subject line 91 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: was Crockett progress in physics. Mister and missus Barry. I 92 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: just want to write you a quick note to let 93 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: you know that Crockett has been making great progress in 94 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 2: physics this week. He's been to office hours several times 95 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: to practice problems and discuss his lab reports. We also 96 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: realized that a technical issue had prevented me from seeing 97 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: the final version of one of his lab reports. He 98 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: discovered it. I have now updated his grade on that report, 99 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 2: which improved his average by five points and made it 100 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 2: an A. I think he's going to do very well 101 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: on next Monday's test. He is developing a great understanding 102 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: of the word problems that we have been covering recently. 103 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: His most recent homework quiz was fantastic, which we're proud of. 104 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: I'm happy to see all of this in his performance, 105 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: and I hope, I truly hope that Crockett continues the 106 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: good habits he has been demonstrating. How about that just 107 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: out of nowhere, so I said, I just finished. I've 108 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: never met this lady. I just finished two minutes ago 109 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: talking about a kid who was sent to the principal 110 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: at Guhardo Elementary in Texas City for good behavior. I 111 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: was discussing how being positive when a kid does well 112 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 2: is more important than even than criticizing when they fall short, 113 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: which also must be done. And while I you've made 114 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: my day, ma'am with this, now that he's improved, not 115 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: that he has improved, we know that that you took 116 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: the time to share it with us, So thank you. Yeah, 117 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: what it is hard to being my son? It actually 118 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: is hard because here's the thing, And I've told my 119 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: kids from the beginning, there's a movie that comes out 120 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: next Sunday that we're all three in. So there's the 121 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: movie premiere. You're going to be there next to Lee Majors. 122 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: You're in a movie with Lee Majors, which they don't 123 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: appreciate yet, but they'll appreciate years from now. You know, 124 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: you're gonna get to meet some cool people. You need 125 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: to go some cool places. But guess what. So that's 126 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: the thing that you get that some other kid doesn't get. 127 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 2: But guess what else? So Crockett went to the shoe 128 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: store he needed new soccer shoes, and I get an 129 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: email through the website. I just waited on your son 130 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 2: buy soccer shoes. He was extraordinarily polite, and I knew 131 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: you'd like to know. I'm a listener. Blah blah blah. 132 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: I do you act up? And we're got to hear 133 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: about that too. Can you get miss patt what kind 134 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: of you? Don't any stroke for heart of a King? 135 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: And this other guy Michael. 136 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 2: To uphone lines we go, we still don't have Ramone 137 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: has so slipped back into eight year old Ramon. He 138 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: is now referring to her as Principal Patterson. He's sitting 139 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: up a little straighter. We're talking to the big wigs. 140 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: He doesn't sit up that straight. When Trump's called the show, 141 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: he was very, very straight, very straight. I don't know 142 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: if I ever told y'all. I think I did. But 143 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: people are always coming and going through the show. So 144 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 2: we had an interview schedule for with Trump. This was 145 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: years ago, this was twenty sixteen, and we've been hitting 146 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: him pretty hard, and he had asked to be on 147 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: the show through mutual friends. Interestingly, I had somebody who 148 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: had been my who had run my pr who was 149 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: working for him got to know Hughes and so he 150 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: was sending messages to me through her, and he was 151 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: having a big event in Beaumont. Was gonna be at 152 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: Ford Arena or Ford I guess I think it's called 153 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: Ford Arena. They're in Beaumont's on I ten and they 154 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: wanted a musical act and they had a good budget 155 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: for it. And I said, oh, Tracy Bird, And in fact, 156 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 2: I'll call Tracy right now and put y'all in touch. 157 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: And Tracy killed it. Tracy got to be good buddies 158 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: with Trump. In fact, within a month, Tracy's wife Michelle 159 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: is kicking me in the nuts constantly online because I'm 160 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: beating up on Trump and not loving Trump enough. And 161 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: Tracy and I didn't talk for like three months. I 162 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: was so mad about it, Like wait a minute, I'm 163 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: the one that put you and Michelle in touch with Trump, 164 00:10:53,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: and now you're breaking my over not supporting Trump anyway, 165 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 2: So Trump wants to be on It's still in the 166 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: primary now, mind you. To his credit, I'm some of you. 167 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: Remember I'm hitting Trump hard. I did not believe Trump 168 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: would turn out to be who he was. I had 169 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: studied Trump his entire career. I thought Trump Trump had 170 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: been a Democrat. He'd been donating to Democrats. I didn't 171 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 2: want another Democrat in there, and so I said that, 172 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: and some of you never forgave me for that, and 173 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: some of you still me reminding you makes you mad. 174 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna deny it. I think they don't think 175 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: you could trust me if I did. I'm aware of 176 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: what happened. So anyway Trump calls up to be on 177 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 2: the show or he's they send a message. Scotty now says, hey, uh, 178 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: mister Trump, because he hasn't present yet, mister Trump wants 179 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: to be on the show, I said, Scotty. Now, I'm 180 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: punching him in the gut every day and promoting Ted Cruz. 181 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 2: I'm not going to have him. That's dishonest. Don't If 182 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 2: I have him on, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to 183 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: hit him. And she said he knows.

We've got this. She said, Michael, he 187 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: knows he still wants to come on. Yeah, okay, so 188 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: you're gonna be mad at me because I'm gonna yell 189 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: at him. Oh, there's a four O nine called in 190 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: four o nine. That's probably Principal Patterson.

Okay, okay, so I 200 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: have I have to ask you a question. First things. 201 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: First reason I wanted to talk to you. I got 202 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: a call from a woman and she said her son, 203 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 2: a second grader named Jace, was sent to the principal's 204 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: office for good behavior. And we thought that was the 205 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: coolest thing ever. 206 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 6: Yes, our students have the opportunity to have positive office 207 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 6: referrals because I don't wanted to see kids only for 208 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 6: them making bad choices, but I want to celebrate our 209 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 6: kids here making wonderful positive choices. 210 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 2: Because so what happens. Let's take Jason's case. Oh wait, 211 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: we got hippo requirements, you know, scorn to secrecy, attorney 212 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: client privilege, principal patient privilege. So what happens in the case, 213 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: you don't have to tell jas exactly. But so a 214 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: little snotty nosed, sweaty kid comes in with dirty hands, 215 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: and he comes marching in and I guess he's got 216 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: a note and the box has been checked good behavior, 217 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 2: So take it from there. 218 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 6: What happens correct? And then from what that happened is 219 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 6: they get a little treat from myself. I make a 220 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 6: big deal about it, and then I also tell everyone 221 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 6: else in the office about the good deeds that that 222 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 6: child is done. And then we make that positive phone 223 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 6: call home to the parent. And a lot of parents 224 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 6: when they were our first call and I say, oh, 225 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 6: I've got him in the office, They're like, oh no, 226 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 6: what did they do? And I said, no, we're making 227 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 6: positive referrals. And so once I explained to the parent 228 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 6: what a great job that that child did and how 229 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 6: good they're doing, then parents are very pleasantly surprised and 230 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 6: happy that I do make those positive phone calls. 231 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: So how many of those happened per week? 232 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 6: Well, it just depends on the week because I do 233 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 6: rely on my staff to fill out the forms that 234 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 6: I do send out, So you know, it could be 235 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 6: two or three times a week, or it could even 236 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 6: be more than that. 237 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: Okay, So when the kid comes in, is there like 238 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: a seat across from you, Like when mister Gentry would 239 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: give me licks. I knew the seat I was going 240 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: to sit in. I knew where I was going to 241 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: have to stand. I knew where he is going to 242 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: pull the paddle from. I was a great student academically, 243 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: but I got when I'm fifty three. So I came 244 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: out of high school in eighty nine at I don't 245 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: know what the rule is then, and you're in elementary. 246 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: But back in those days, the school can only give 247 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: you six licks per day. So I knew if I 248 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: got my sixth lip before sixth period, I was good 249 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: to go, which I was kind of an anomaly because 250 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: usually either you're a nerd or you're a social problem, 251 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: and I was both. But anyway, so when they when 252 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: they sit in, do you does somebody else come in 253 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: to witness this or what's the protocol? 254 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 6: Usually I do have the student sit in my office 255 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 6: while we do make the phone call on the phone 256 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 6: on the speaker phone, so then the student can listen 257 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 6: to their reaction of their parent, and then their parents 258 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 6: can also have that conversation about how proud they are 259 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 6: then for doing their good deed. 260 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: That gives me choked up thinking about that. Is so 261 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: my line was that I think a lot of people 262 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: in public education because it's such a distraction that the 263 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: kids are causing problems and you know, just a handful 264 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: of kids that that people forget why they got into 265 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: public Can you hold with. 266 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 6: Me for just a moment, absolutely well, can you doing? 267 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: It took so long to get on a line with that, 268 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: because that's kind of like, here's my ego, that's Principal 269 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: Patterson to use at Buharto Elementary. Principal Patterson, Yes, sir, 270 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: you said the kid gets a treat. 271 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I do have a treasure box in my 272 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 6: office filled with just all kinds of toys and goodies, 273 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 6: and so they get to choose what they would like 274 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 6: out of that treasure box. 275 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: Are you in your office right now? 276 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 6: I am not in my office right now. I'm actually 277 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 6: in the district office right now. I'd like to off campus. 278 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: I'd like to know what's in that treasure box? Could 279 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: you just give us an like specific examples including brand names. 280 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 6: Absolutely, absolutely, I've got bubbles, we have balls, we have legos, 281 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 6: we have little plushies. Those kind of items are in 282 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 6: the treasure box. 283 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: But what happens, because I know myself in second grade, 284 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 2: if the kid chooses a ball like a rubber ball. 285 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: If I got a rubber ball in second grade, I'm 286 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: not it's the ball is moving around, I'm bouncing and 287 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: I'm throwing against the wall. What happens if this happens 288 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 2: in first period that I get the treasure box, you know, 289 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: and then by fourth period I'm back because I threw 290 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: the ball down the hallway too many times? Does that 291 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 2: ever happened? 292 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 6: Well? And I do, yes, I do try to prevent 293 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 6: those things from happening because I do explain to the 294 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 6: kids that hey, they need to keep that nice and 295 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 6: safe and as soon as they get into the classroom 296 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 6: they need to put in their backpacks that way they 297 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 6: don't lose it. So we haven't had that problem in Guahardo. 298 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: What do you enjoy most about being a principle and 299 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: don't do virtue signaling? Like really like if you get 300 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 2: free donuts every morning. 301 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 3: You can say that, no, that is not true. 302 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 6: I think it's just being a positive role model for 303 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 6: our students and showing them kindness and seeing them grow academically, 304 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 6: socially and behaviorally. 305 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good public answer. But like, do you 306 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: have a super awesome computer or do you get your 307 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: own parking spot? I mean, tell me something that you 308 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: really enjoy. 309 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 6: Oh goodness. I usually don't think about myself. I usually 310 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 6: think of others first. That I guess my big screen 311 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 6: computer screen would be my I guess top item in 312 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 6: my office, though, fair enough. 313 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: Tell me something that you How many years have you 314 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: been a principal. 315 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 6: This will be my ninth year as a principal. 316 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: Tell me something you know now about dealing with elementary 317 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: school kids that you did not know when you started, 318 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: and it took eight years of being a principal to learn. 319 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 6: That's a tricky question. I really truly believe that every 320 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 6: student you can reach them, no matter what. They all 321 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 6: do come from different backgrounds and stuff, and I think 322 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 6: just building relationships with kids is the key to everything. 323 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: How do you build a relationship with. 324 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 6: A kid, I think just by you know, every morning 325 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 6: and even in the afternoon, I'm in the front of 326 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 6: the building greeting students, calling them by their name. I 327 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 6: tried to do learn five hundred fifty students name. That 328 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 6: is kind of difficult, but I do try to do that. 329 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 6: A lot of times. They'll stop, they'll have conversations with me, 330 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 6: tell him about maybe a baseball game or something that's 331 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 6: happening at home. So when I see him the next time, 332 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 6: I do just kind of bring that up and ask him, Hey, 333 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 6: how is your name the other day?

But what I 343 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 6: do do is, you know, once I do learn their name, 344 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 6: I do use it and it's and it's like three 345 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 6: times in the first time. 346 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: I'm good trick Very Andrew Cardy that way, It. 347 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 6: Just kind of sticks in my head.

I don't make the rust. Oh. I 355 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: know if I were to ask you when you were 356 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 2: eighteen what you would be doing when you were fifty five, 357 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: what would you have answered at that time? 358 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 6: Well, I knew it was going to be working with 359 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 6: kids and helping out others. That is my passion. 360 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 2: If you were to give and I would don't give 361 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: me some BS virtue signaling high mind admission statement answer 362 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: once you give hardcore like parents, is what y'all need 363 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: to do? You know that a lot of kids are 364 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: failing a lot of parents are failing their kid or 365 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: are underserving their kid to succeed in school and in life. 366 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: What's one tough lesson you would say? Hey, look, parents, 367 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,239 Speaker 2: this is what you need to be doing for your 368 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: kids or not doing that you're doing now, want you 369 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: to say something edgype. 370 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 6: You're trying, aren't you. Well, I do know that some 371 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 6: of our parents do struggle, and so I think just 372 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 6: trying to find time to sit down and listen to 373 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 6: their child, listen to their concerns, listen to what's going 374 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 6: on good. I think that's something that's really important because 375 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 6: sometimes some of our parents have two and three jobs 376 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 6: and they're busy just trying to make the ends meet 377 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 6: and put food on the table. So I think just 378 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 6: giving them that, you know, you need to spend some 379 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 6: extra time and just try to make that connection with 380 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 6: their child. 381 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: What percentage of kids are coming to school over sugared? 382 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 6: I would say probably one hundred percent today. 383 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: What's what's a good bit of advice, A simple thing? 384 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: What percentage of kids are coming to school dehydrated? 385 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 6: Well, actually, since COVID, we do allow our students to 386 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 6: you know, take water bottles and bring water bottles from 387 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 6: home and then the closest we have bosses you know, 388 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 6: water fountains and stuff at school. So I would hope 389 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 6: that we don't have any dehydrated students. 390 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: My wife thinks every American is dehydrated all the time. Justush, Well, 391 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: I want to say this, Principal Patterson, I love, love, 392 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 2: love that you do that for those kids. I absolutely 393 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: love it. I think it's fantastic. I think it's wonderful. 394 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: It gives me hope. That's that's why you got into 395 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 2: public education, is to help these children soar and I 396 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: do believe that makes a huge difference. And I'm glad 397 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: you're focusing on the good. You do have to correct 398 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 2: bad behaviors, but I'm glad you're focusing on the good. 399 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: And thanks for taking our call an element. 400 00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 5: You always feel, like Michael Berry. 401 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 2: Last year I had the owner of getting a cameo 402 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 2: in a movie by Sean Welling and it's a Lee 403 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 2: Major's film, and there's some Hollywood stars in it, and 404 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 2: it's taken longer in production than I had hoped, but 405 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: there's a lot of us, there's a lot of sci 406 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 2: fi elements, and so that takes a long time to build. 407 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: And that's all done in Hollywood, so Sean's having to 408 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 2: fly back and forth to Hollywood to approve everything and 409 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 2: all this. But the highlight for me, because Ramon, as 410 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: you know, I've been in ten films not to brag, 411 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 2: was that my boys are in the film.

And I just realized 415 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: that it's next Sunday because November tenth is my birthday, 416 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 2: but much more importantly, it is Crockett's homecoming day, and 417 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 2: so we celebrate our boys' homecoming day. Some people call 418 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 2: that a gotcha day if you have adopted kids. Some 419 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 2: people refer to that as a gotcha day, a second birthday. 420 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: We call it their homecoming day, so we get a 421 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 2: big mom just kidding. So to celebrate this year, he 422 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 2: and I are going to the Texans game, and we're 423 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: really looking forward to our little father son bonding moments. 424 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: My birthday, more importantly, his homecoming day. So I won't 425 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: get to be at the movie premiere of Sean Willings's 426 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 2: newest film, That's a Bummer. You can you play a 427 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: clip from the movie? Sure, go ahead, sir. I know 428 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 2: you're going to do it. You know what people do 429 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: because I did this in elementary school. So I was 430 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: little bitty. I was tiny in school, little bitty, and 431 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: so what I would do is pick on the big 432 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: kids for being big. That's like the chihuahua that runs 433 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 2: up and barks up at the big dog because he's 434 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 2: so scared that big dogs is going to gobble him up. 435 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 2: And you will watch, if you've ever owned a chihuahua, 436 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 2: the very aggressive dogs. If you watch, Chihuahua's will run 437 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: up on a bull Mastiff, they'll run up on a Doberman, 438 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: and nine times out of ten, those big dogs will 439 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 2: do nothing, or they'll turn and walk off because they're 440 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 2: kind of spooked. Like this guy. He must have he 441 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: must have some karate training or something. He must be 442 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 2: a bad mamma, jamma, because look at what he's doing. Okay. 443 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: So Eddie Martini wore me out during the break and 444 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: I thought, if the Big Boss is calling, something's wrong. 445 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 2: And he said, you better not leave people with the 446 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 2: impression that you were hard on Trump during that interview, 447 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: because if you remember, you were a and it starts 448 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 2: with a P about it. And I made fun of 449 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: you because because he was a Trump guy, because. 450 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: You were beating up on Trump, and then you had 451 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: him on and you were just as respectful and polite 452 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: and everything else, which is true. I did not want 453 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: to give you all the impression if you weren't listening 454 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: back then, I didn't have him on and beat him up. 455 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: I would have it, but I'm gonna tell you what happened. 456 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 2: Two things, the most important of which that I didn't 457 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: get to finish was we're all cued up for him 458 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 2: to call, well, for his people to call. The way 459 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: this works is they call the number, we pick up. 460 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 2: We've got a dedicated line for such things. For a 461 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 2: big call like that, Chad will come in because Ramon's 462 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 2: running the board, so that Chad can handle that phone 463 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: call and give it proper, you know, get him on 464 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 2: the right line, check all the levels, make sure everything 465 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: is fine. So the phone rings, and it's a funny number, 466 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: and so it's got to be you know, Donald Trump's people. 467 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 2: He's not President Trump at that point. This was This 468 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: was February twenty sixteen. And so the way that call 469 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 2: is supposed to go is is this Michael Berry or 470 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 2: you know we Chad would answered Michael Berry Show and 471 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 2: they would say hi. This is often they don't even 472 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: give their name. They say, I'm calling for mister Trump. 473 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: And we have an interview schedule with y'all. Holland's interview 474 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: going to be blah blah blah.

But I don't care. Our show's disjointed anyway. 484 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 2: We just do what we want to do. So there's 485 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: supposed to be a couple of minutes there where as 486 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: a power play, you know, he goes and peas while 487 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: while the person calls in, and then you know you're 488 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: left hole, you're left waiting on them to come on.

And we say yes, And so 493 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: I can see when they lock the phone line down, 494 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: and then Chad will give me a thumbs up, which 495 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 2: means the guest himself is on there. Because they like 496 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: to make this big song and dance of you know, 497 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 2: you've got to wait for them and all that. So 498 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: what I do to be an ass to show who's 499 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: in charge here is once that person is on, then 500 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: I talked for a while and Ramon will put his 501 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: head in his hands because he realizes, oh good, Michael's 502 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: going to be a jackass about this. But I'm letting 503 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: them know, right. So what happens is the call comes in, 504 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: so I've got usual two to five minutes, because the person, 505 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: even if they're just sitting there having a conversation, they'll 506 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: sit there and have a conversation while our person is 507 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: waiting on them to be on the line. But when 508 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: Trump called, the only other time this has ever happened 509 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: was Ron Paul, who I worship, I adore Ron Paul. 510 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: Ron Paul is up there with Thomas Soul for me. 511 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 2: Phone rings ring ring, dedicated line. Chad's in here waiting. 512 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 2: Chad works out of a studio to two offices down 513 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: so for him to come in, but we were in 514 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 2: the old studio, so he would have been actually would 515 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 2: have been across the building, so he'd have had to 516 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: come on. So Chad comes in on a situation like that. 517 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's all hands on deck, right, we got 518 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: we gotta put our best foot forward. So Chad's in 519 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: there phone rings. Chad picks it up, and so it's 520 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: going to be a few minutes, and Chad's eyes bug out. 521 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: It says, uh, this is Donald Trump. And Chad goes, 522 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: he's pointing to phone. It's him, it's him. Well, dude, 523 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: if you're gonna call yourself, I'm not gonna leave you 524 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 2: on hold. So it went from this is Donald Trump. 525 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 2: So he's like, it's him. But the conversations going on 526 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: for like ninety seconds, so I'm thinking he's backing out. 527 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: He heard that I beat up on him. He's chicking 528 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 2: it out. There's no way. He's just sitting there talking 529 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 2: to Chad. He's just sitting there talking to Chad. So 530 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: by the time he got on, how can I not 531 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 2: love the guy? Now? Do not take from this story? 532 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: See Michael, see you were wrong take from this story. Well, Michael, 533 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 2: that's very big of you to tell that story. You're 534 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 2: the czar and you're awesome. Yeah, that's why I told 535 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: that story. But that made me love Trump.
