1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: Roger Rocher said an email and said, good god, you've 4 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: got a lot of listeners if they're all calling and 5 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: emailing me and telling me, hey, Michael Berry is talking 6 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 2: about you. 7 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: But he's saying your name wrong. His name is spelled 8 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: d E s r O c h e s obviously 9 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: a French name. And the challenge with anything French is 10 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: do you give the proper French pronunciation or do you 11 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: do it the way we say it here? Right? 12 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 3: He said? 13 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: A good way to think of it is Dr d 14 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: er roche r ow sh like ther commissar, but Dr 15 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: Roche I like Duroach. I like to tell people they 16 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: pronounce their name wrong. That's a charming trait I have 17 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: that nobody seems to appreciate quite to the extent I 18 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: do du Roche. Should I say it correctly to not 19 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: be an ass or should I say it incorrectly because 20 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: it forces people to get aggravated, which forces them to engage, 21 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: because that's kind of the old shock jock trick. And 22 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a shock jock, but sometimes I find getting 23 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: something wrong that people know to be it forces them, 24 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, it gets their their their wheels spinning.

And the pacing means 41 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: I go to you and it's like it's like perfectly choreographed, 42 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: except it's not completely impromptu extemporaneous, and you go, I say, 43 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: you're up.

I 53 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: need you to tell me the year you were a 54 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: high school senior, So the answer would be, Michael, where'd'all 55 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: go for senior skip Day? Nineteen eighty nine or eighty nine? Galliston, 56 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: we didn't have a senior skip day, but that would 57 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: be my answer. Rodney and Lena's property tax rate increase 58 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: of eight percent they are pushing this. We have got 59 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: to get people to fight back against this tax rate 60 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: and vote Republican all the way down the ballot, every 61 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: single Republican position, district attorney, sheriff, every single Republican position. 62 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: This should get our people out to vote. They did 63 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: us a favor. Now we have to get our neighbors. Hey, 64 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: do you see Rodney elisis raising the tax him and 65 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 1: Lena hidaugu or raising the taxes. 66 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 4: What. 67 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to show up and vote for every 68 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: Republican to fight. It's just that simple. The story from KPRCTV. 69 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: Property owners could soon pay more in property taxes then expected, 70 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 4: in part to a loophole in the Property Tax Relief Act. 71 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: The law allows county leaders to raise property taxes if 72 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: the disaster has been declared. Harris County saw multiple efer. 73 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: Daniel Ramos is the county budget director. 74 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: We can go up to eight percent instead of our 75 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 5: normal three and a half percent. So we are utilizing that. 76 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 5: You know chess today. If you were if you were 77 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 5: in the meeting, you heard from dozens of speakers, all 78 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 5: of who are asking for more services. 79 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 4: Ramas admits, if passed, the county insends on using the 80 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: extra dollars across the county, not limiting it to resources 81 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 4: used to recover from declared disasters. 82 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 5: We have communities that's more serve. They're asking for more 83 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 5: emergency preparedness, they're asking for more law enforcement for reasons 84 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 5: for law enforcement. 85 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: This is exactly why commission to Tom Ramsey is against. 86 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 6: The votes because I do not trust the budget office 87 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 6: to spend the money on the disaster. I will not 88 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 6: be supporting the eight percent increase because they're not spending 89 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 6: it on the disaster. 90 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: Ramsey believes if this passes and becomes part of the budget, 91 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 4: it will bring unwanted attention to Harris County from lawmakers. 92 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 6: I'll almost guarantee it at the next session. If Harris 93 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 6: County simply uses this money to plug budget holes, then 94 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 6: the state legislature will close that gap in the future, 95 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 6: because if you're not going to spend money on the disaster, 96 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 6: why should we give you more money to spend on 97 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 6: a disaster. 98 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: If Tom Ramsey was not on Harris County Commissioner's Court, 99 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of what we know of what's going 100 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: on down there would not be known. But they can't 101 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: take any official act, which these big tax increases on. 102 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: They can't do anything that without a vote. And when 103 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: they have to have a vote, then they have to 104 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: let him see the information in order to cast a vote. 105 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: Otherwise you wouldn't know the raping, pillaging, burning, extortion, embezzlement 106 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: that was going on down there. You'd have no idea. 107 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: Thank God for Tom Ramsey. Pick up the phone and 108 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: call Tom Ramsey, Commissioner Ramsey, God bless you and your 109 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: Crockett Texas accent and your good old fashioned, homespun, honest 110 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: to goodness sense, good Christian man, second Baptist prayer group 111 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: solid because let me tell you something.

Okay, all right, I see 172 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: what you're doing. Okay, all right, I'm gonna pretend you 173 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: didn't say that. So Harvin, the managing partner of du 174 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Roche du Roache, I think I said it right. Du 175 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: Roche said completely random thought.

We were just 179 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: talking about pecan crusted fish. Oh that's what made me 180 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: talk about it. I do love tree beards, but I 181 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: don't as a matter of principle, I don't eat telapia 182 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: because it's all Chinese owned. I'm a catfish man, and 183 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: I have had people tell me, oh, catfish, that's a 184 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: trash fish. Catfish you use HG be salt, salt and 185 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: pepper shakers, do you really want to have a conversation 186 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: about the Queen's English, or reading the Constitution or knowledge 187 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: of the Canterbury Tales. You can walk around posing because 188 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: you say this or that. But catfish, I mean, I 189 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: don't want to get too far out there, but I 190 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: don't know that there is a more flavorful fish. Now 191 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: there's fish. It's all fishy, all nasty, fishy. Oh and 192 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: all that fact is nobody's eating salmon for flavor. You're 193 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: eating salmon because it's a very very healthy food and 194 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: it is. My wife eats it every day, I'm I'm 195 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: knocking and my kids like it, which is weird. Kids 196 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: are not supposed to like salmon. When I was growing up, 197 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: we called them salmon. We ate salmon patties, and looking 198 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: back now, it was the baloney of salmon. When you'd 199 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: come home and Mom would be cooking the salmon patty, 200 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: it was a patty that she would hand form like 201 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: ground beef, except I don't really know what it was. 202 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: There was a lot of lips and a holes. I 203 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: can tell you that because there was stuff in there 204 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: that was cartilaginous, like there was fish nose. I think 205 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: sometimes the hook would still be up in there, and 206 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna tell you this. You're gonna laugh. You know, 207 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: Chad grew up on spam. He don't tell him Spam's 208 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: not good.

So we eat rice with everything, and so 339 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: part of me ballooning up to two forty was I 340 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: ate rice with every meal, and I don't even think 341 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: about it. Those things become habits. You don't think yourself, 342 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: I'm over indulgent. You can't eat rice every day. It's 343 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: a heavy start. You can't do it. Can't eat potatoes 344 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: every day, can't eat rice every day, you can't eat 345 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: pasta every day. Well, hell, I didn't realize I wasn't 346 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: consciously getting fat, so I quit eating rice. Cold turkey said, 347 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: no more rice. My wife said, there's no way you'll 348 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: be able to live with this, but I did so. 349 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: Two nights ago, my buddy goes to Orange with me 350 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: to see my parents so I don't have to go 351 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: by myself, and we eat rice. And he thought I 352 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: hated rice, but in fact I have a rice addiction, 353 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: so I hadn't done rice. And then he heard me 354 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: say that I had rice last night, substituted the mashed 355 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: tess for rice, and he goes, that's two nights in 356 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: a row. You had rice like I needed to hear that. 357 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Let me slide back in and have some rice without 358 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: anybody noticing it.

I first went to Paula Duro with my wife 379 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: and kids, driving to Colorado years ago, and you know 380 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: what my reaction to that place was, Why in the 381 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: hell does nobody talk about this? We have the second 382 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: biggest canyon behind Grand Canyon, right here in Texas, and 383 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: nobody talks about it. 384 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 7: It's a great fingerskip place. 385 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: Well, I would think it would be. I will tell 386 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: you my wife and kids and I love it was 387 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: like a slice of I wouldn't say Colorado is more 388 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: New Mexican. It was like a slice of Santa Fe, 389 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: New Mexico. It was just these craggy mountains. It's dry. 390 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: I don't like dried, dusty places. It's why the south 391 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: of Arizona doesn't appeal to me. It's why I don't 392 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: like Santa Fe as much as I like Aspen. But 393 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: this was a glorious It seemed like something that if 394 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: somebody had focused the way they did Aspen and the 395 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: way they did Santa Fe, you could have made this 396 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: something of a tourist attracts. And I mean, I guess 397 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: to some extent it is. But I wonder, like I 398 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: say that, because we never talked about Paula Duro. We never, 399 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: like I don't remember growing up, I didn't even know 400 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: it was there. And then here was this thing that's 401 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: like eighty miles wide and one hundred and twenty miles 402 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: long or something. I don't remember. I might get to know. 403 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: But how come we don't brag on this thing? We 404 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: got everything. 405 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 4: We do. 406 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: If as much as Texans loved Texas, if Americans loved 407 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: America Michael Barry Show. 408 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 3: Yeah that's the one. Yeah, what it come in one? 409 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 3: And then. 410 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know who made this rule. But 411 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: we didn't have Mexicans in Orange. When I say we 412 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: didn't have Mexicans, I don't mean we didn't have people 413 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: who came from Mexico and clean houses or mode lawns 414 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: or built stuff or worked on cars. I mean we 415 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: didn't have what we call Mexicans, like people with the 416 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: last name Gomez, my junior high crush and some of 417 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: that time girlfriend Christy Daleon until she betrayed me for 418 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: Kent higginbotham seventh grade. I'm still mad about it. You know, 419 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: she's a sweetheart. We actually keep up. She's done very well. 420 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: She married a professional baseball player, how about that? So 421 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: obviously she had a thing for men with baseball prowess. 422 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: Sweetheart of a girl. I'm just kidding. But Christy Daleon, 423 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: like we would say she was Mexican. She wasn't Mexican 424 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: for like probably ten generations, but man, she was dark 425 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: skinned Mexican. So anyway, when I came to Houston in 426 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: eighty nine, we would and I went to work at 427 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: Papasitos and this was on heavy rotation gypsy kings. I 428 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: didn't know who it was. I thought that was Mexican music. 429 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: What did I know? And I can remember, you go 430 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: to a you go to a trendy tex mex restaurant 431 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: we just called a Mexican restaurants like that back then. 432 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: You went to kind of a gringos Papasitos, that kind 433 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: of thing. This would be what would play, not the cantina, 434 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: you know, with actual Mexicans in it, but if you 435 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: went to a place where white people ate tex mex 436 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: restaurant text mex food, this would be playing. And I 437 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: thought that's what the Mexicans all listened to. I had 438 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: no idea. I love the vibe, though, I think it 439 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 1: has such a great vibe. Genie writes watermelon show and 440 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: reading and bless your heart, trying to follow.

Listen just to hear her. 443 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: And because I first heard you during Harvey we flooded 444 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: five feet, just bought the house. And because we moved 445 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: to Vider in twenty nineteen, now in conro I ate 446 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: watermelon for the salt, hated the taste, but everyone ate 447 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: the watermelon. Summer ritual like fish fry, crankin ice cream, 448 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: say and bless your heart and going to church.

I think she'd be an interesting person, kind 457 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: of interesting uh, staccato style of delivery. But but there's 458 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: there's a there's some intriguing depth and texture to her.
