AM Show Hr 3 | Cornyn’s Family Business, Handout Culture, and Ruff Greens

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Our little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show, and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it. Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online? And they say, no, I was on a podcast. Or, as happens for more than anything else, somebody sent me an email, say, hey, check out this podcast. He's from Houston, talks a lot about Texas, but talks about national stuff, and I think you'll like him. And that's how our little podcast grew to be one of the top in the country. It's pretty cool. And so we have show sponsors on the radio. We have show sponsors on the podcast. One of them's a good buddy of mine. His name is Ray Breyer's. And he owns the Pipeyard Inc. And what he does on his cell phone is people call and go, hey, I got a 118 mile pipeline going through Louisiana into Mississippi. And he says, all right, let me go check it out. He goes out. He rips that pipe out of the ground all the way. And he goes off and sells that to somebody else who needs the pipe. It's a beautiful process. And people call him all from our show, from our podcast, all over the country. Thepipeyard, inc.com. 409-788 pipe. 409-88 pipe. Talk to Ray, the pipe, ma'am, a good buddy.

It's that time. Lock and load. The Michael Vary Show is on the air. from the guy that works at Discount Tire Company, and I forgot to tell you the story on that. So my friend who called me about Discount Tire Company offering the free air, and the guy had been so John Jay Jones, JJ, he goes by, that my friend Ray Hunt had called up there and said, hey, that was my wife, you were so nice to, thank you for that. And then I told a story, and everybody had a story of one sort or another. And I guess a lot of people didn't know they have free air. But I said it was the Tom Ball discount tower, and I guess that's the only one there. So Ray went that night to bring him a couple of HPOU, Houston Police Officers Union Mementos, and truthfully to recruit him for HPD because they're hiring. And he said, I pulled up. And there were nine cars in front of me to get air. And they had opened two bays. They had some other dude, and they were running two at a time, giving out all the free air they could possibly give out. He said, well, I didn't know how long was going to take, so I went inside. And I said, can you tell me which one is JJ? And they pointed, and that was him. And there he was, 65305. You know, not air, pretty easy to, you know, pretty easy to spot the manager of Led Zeppelin from a distance. Anyway, so he went over and spoke to the fellow. And he said, he didn't care. He had to get back to air it up tires. I thought, you know, well, we'll take a photo, shoot the bull. Uh-uh. He had to get back to, uh, he had to get back to, uh, airing up tires. I just thought that was a pretty nice story. An investigation by the Dallas Express reveals that John Wayne McCornan's daughter, Haley, quote, her lobbying career reveals a pattern of overlap as Haley's employers and clients benefit. From key federal decisions, her father's Senate actions often align to advance their interests. John Wayne McCornan is bought and paid for. And just like Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, since they can't give the cash to John directly, they give it to his daughter, Haley. That's why he won't leave the Senate. Big donors are saying, you're losing in the polls. You're going to lose. Get out. He can't. There's too much money in it. When you understand the reason these people can't leave politics is not because, well, I just have a heart for people. I just want to help people much as I can. I just feel like this is a spot for me to help people. That's a lie. They can't leave.

I wonder if they approached John Cornyn and said, hey, here's what we'll give you, we'll put your daughter on the payroll, or if he went to them and said, hey. So she was the face of a lobbying firm 10 minutes later she was hired as a paralegal and never done anything before. It's almost corrupt. This is the Michael Bari Weiss Show. Ryan Bingham is married to one of the girls on Yellowstone. Cassie Harrison? You know who that is? Play that again. She looks cute from the picture. I see you in a different night. Just the way I saw you last night. Oh, she's fine. If women had even the slightest inkling. How much we talk about women being hot, it would shock them. Not me, Michael. I don't do that. Then you don't have any friends. And you're gay. Because that's what we do. It's natural. The truth is, if a woman gets mentioned as being hot, you cannot help it. It's a gene. I forget what the number is. You have to go look them up. You are required to go and look them up and see how hot. Exactly how hot. H.A. S-S-S-I-E. Harrison. She got some nasty pictures posted. I'd make her take all that down. I wouldn't want my woman having all them nasty pictures out there, would you? You would? You'd be all right with that? You like them boys that like to... come to lunch and bring their sandwich and watch somebody else eat it. That's not my, that's not my, that's not my vibe, brother. No, sir. No, sir. I, uh, no, I'm going to go ahead and skip on that. All right, so here's my question. I'm going to make y'all mad. Everybody's upset over the food stamp people because they eat bad food. And here is my question. If you have to give $200 a year to food stamps, and then they give it to people who drive nice cars, and by the way, you ever notice the people on food stamps? They got their nails done, that ain't cheap. They got extensions and all their hair done. That ain't cheap. They got long eyelashes. My understanding is that ain't cheap. They got all this stuff. They got an iPhone. If you got an iPhone, you don't get food stamps. That's the end of the story. Period. If you can afford an iPhone, you can afford food. They don't feel like they need to save money for food or a number of other things because we're going to pay for it for them. But what I don't understand, and just hear me out, okay? I realize y'all aren't going to be rational about NIL. I get that. A woman sent me an email. She said, here's why I don't like NIL. Number one, it reduces the loyalty of the student athlete to the university. Okay, well, what about the coaches? How about Tommy Tuberville, who was at dinner with Texas Tech recruits who had committed?

And he said, oh, got to take this call. Gets up and walks out of the room. It's Auburn. He doesn't even go back in the room. How would you feel you've committed to the university and he's off to Auburn? Oh, but nobody talks about that. You think these coaches are so committed to your school because you root for them? No, you need to think that makes you feel better because you're loyal to your school, so you want them to be loyal. I got news for you. A bigger payday comes along. They're going to a different school. Period. End of story. I don't know why you need this desperate... Oh, Eric Dickerson just loves the Southern Methodist University Mustangs. He loves Dallas. He loves the red, white, and blue. He loves the option. He loves that it's Methodist in nature. He loves its history, the campus. There's nowhere he'd rather play. Well, that's funny because he got wallet-whipped to go there. He wasn't even going to go there. And to think, the only difference between then and now is he only got a gold transamp. Today he'd get paid. Well, if you introduce money, then there's no love of the game. Why are the coaches coaching? Just curious, why are you doing what you're doing? Why do you do the job you do? Does your pastor get paid? Because if he does, he must not care about the gospel. That's the dumbest argument ever. Well, I don't like the portal because then I'm not loyal to the school. Oh, you need to know that a kid's going to be there for all four years. What if he doesn't transfer to another school? He just goes pro. It's the stupidest argument ever. I couldn't do sports talk. I couldn't. Because people are somewhat rational when it comes to politics. With sports, they're stupid. I like that team and therefore I'm going to say stupid stuff about that team. Okay, they haven't won a game in four years. But they're very, very good. No, no, they're horrible. I'm a fan. I can't be rational. Okay. And that's what we're doing here. But here is my question for you. We're going to need more than a half hour to get to this. I'll do this tomorrow, but I want you to be thinking about this. If you have to give $200 for food stamps, and let's say instead of it routing through the government and them keeping their share, let's say they make everybody adopt one person. You've got to give that person $200. Are you going to the grocery store to make sure that they buy the food that you would consider healthy? Because apparently for a lot of people, they would. A lot of people are very bothered that that person buys sugar products. And I say, why are you so bothered? That's fattening. Okay, well, you choose fattening stuff. They're eating and drinking to satisfy their hunger. They should be paying for that themselves. And they're not. But if they satisfy their hunger... With a big red or a grape soda and Cheetos, why does that bother you so much? Well, it's not good for them. Okay. They're also not getting any exercise. They don't keep a regular sleep cycle. They haven't drank water in six years, and they made 13 kids by 13 different men.

Are you really that concerned with what they're eating? Well, if I'm paying for it, well, one of the arguments. If the government's giving it to them, the government gets to put restrictions. That's the way things go. But the government is you. The government is your agent. Why do you want, we're talking about whether they should or not. Not whether they can. Why are you trying to control what these people eat? You don't want the government telling you if you can have a gun or not, and you want fat, poor people not to have sugar candy. That's just dumb. We recently came home from a trip to Palm Beach, a listener trip, and we'd been away for four days. When we got back, the trainer who we used for George was, he was not able to get her over the first day we were back, so it was not until Tuesday evening. So we hadn't seen George in a week. And it's funny because you don't realize how different your household is if you're a dog person. You don't realize how different your household is when they're gone. And I always make fun of cat women, mostly because it's fun and it upsets them. And it's just a way to probe people. But if I'm honest, our house sounded empty. We still have one kid at home, right? Michael T.'s gone off to college. Jasmine Crockett's in his senior year, but he has no use for us. He's busy. He's got sports and, you know, your senior year, there's something going on every day. So my wife said the house is so quiet without George. She barked. She moves around. She's loving on us. She's nudging us. She's begging for food. I mean, she's just bringing life into the home. It's crazy how much we love these darn things. And I will tell you, I have noticed that when people get a dog for their elderly mother or father, what a difference it makes because dogs are so glorious. They make us so happy. You've heard me over the years talk about Rough Greens. I got connected with Rough Greens, RUFF, Rough Greens.com. And by the way, if you go there and you buy it, use the code George because she loves getting credit for the fact that she's the reason you went there. And I've told you the virtues of this. I got connected with Rough Greens. several years ago when I met Dr. Dennis Black, who was the founder in Dallas, and we got to talk in, and he knew George Foreman, and George Foreman had given me George, which is why I named her, George, after him. And he knew her. He had a background in boxing, and he's a dog guy. And we got talking about gut health, and these are things that interest me in humans already. We got talking about gut health and coat and cancers and energy and all these different things. And he said, well, I'm going to send you a packet. You just try it. And I said, well, Dr. Black, I'm going to be honest with you. My wife is very fastidious about George's food because George is very fastidious. And I can't really, I'll be honest with you, I can't change out her food because we finally got something that works for her. And he said, you don't have to scoop it over the top. She doesn't like it. Don't use it. Well, we did. And reluctantly, because we had a great little system for her because she's a finicky thing. And it changed everything.

I said, three weeks in, I said, well, I noticed she has more energy, and I noticed she's not shedding. And that was a problem because I have allergies. And he said, it's a 90-day deal. It'll take 30 days to see what you've done. You're seeing it a little early. And then he told me at 60, and he told me at 90, and like clockwork, that worked. So anyway, he had written a new book. I asked him about the book, and I asked him if we could get him on the show to talk about it. And it's been hard to coordinate our schedules because he's working all the time. I've been doing a lot of travel. But without further ado, Dr. Dennis Black of Roughgreens.com, my dog, my dog, food and gut health expert. Dr. Black, welcome to the program. Michael Barry, thank you for having me. I appreciate it. So I don't know how you managed to do it. You know, Rush Limbaugh used to say after his two books, he said, I'll never write another one because I don't have an iron butt. You manage, every time I see you, it's in a different city, you manage various enterprises, you're constantly doing research and coming up with innovative, cutting edge, crazy stuff that ends up working. You've got a family. You built a home. I don't know how you found time to write a new book, but you did and tell us about it. Well, essentially what the... nexus for the book was, was all these customers that keep asking me these questions. And they email them in, and I thought, maybe, you know, instead of just answering these one at a time, I should just kind of compile them all into one thing and let that be the outline for the book. And so half of the book is for dogs and the other half is for cats. So if you're a dog person and you don't have cats or don't like cats, don't read the second half of the book. It's not for you. It's for cat people. But if you're a cat person and you don't really like dogs, we'll read the second half of the book, not the first half. But the reality is that we just took all the questions that people had and we just formulated it into a table of contents. And it turns out that literally within 24 hours, it became an Amazon number one bestseller. because the name of the book is a natural path to pet health, how to save thousands on vet bills and dog food or pet food. And so one of the things that we included in the book was over 35 recipes on how to make food for your pet. And it's not expensive. As a matter of fact, a lot of the stuff that you need to go in there, you probably already have in your home. We just teach you how to make it. There's several pet foods on the market that are so expensive. For a dog the size of yours and mine, I have four big dogs. It would be over $800 a month for one dog, just for their food. And then it's still cooked, and it's not really a complete dog food. So that's what we decided. We're just going to show people how to make their own dog food at home.

You don't need something made by a farmer. You can just do it yourself. And people love it. We've had nothing but great reviews because of it. But I will tell you, I'll warn people ahead of time. When you get it, it's going to list tons and tons of products that we have at rough greens, all created by us at rough greens. By the way, we have rough greens for dogs. We have meow greens for cats. We have rough natural shampo and skin conditioners. We have rough H2O hydration products. So we're going to recommend those things. throughout the entire book and the reason is because they're the best products on the market for dogs and cats. That's why we do it. That's why we made them to begin with. You know, it's interesting for me. My wife is, I don't want to say a health nut because she doesn't try to impose it on anyone else or make it weird for anyone else. She has just experimented on her body in her 57 years to figure out what makes her feel good and what makes her doesn't. And she has a high A1C. Even though she's very, very healthy and works out and keeps her weight down and all that. And that was genetics. And she couldn't help that. But just like my dad, she has aggressively treated it and never needed insulin as a result of it. She studies her blood sugar and all that. And so we talk a lot. It's become kind of a hobby for both of us about what we put into our bodies, how much we sleep, how much water we drink, the exercise we get. And we talk a lot about food that goes into our body. And you and I have had this conversation. I think Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. has exposed. And it truly makes me sad that with all the advancements we made in this country. Most Americans are less healthy today than we were 60 years ago. And the reason was we got away from, and it's in the title of the book, a natural path to human health. And this is a natural path to pet health. And as bad as it was for what we did to the food for humans. It was even worse of pets. We'll talk to Dr. Dennis Black coming up. The book is a natural path to pet help. Michael Bari Weiss, known as the Tsar, also known as El Ticino.

Dr. Dennis Black is our guest. He happens to be a show sponsor. He's become a friend. I knew him before he was a show sponsor. He sent me, I think he sends everybody, some supplements for our dog to try. It's a supplement you put over the food. And he didn't sell it. He didn't push it. He didn't tell me. And just give it a try and tell me what you think. And my wife was one who immediately noticed because she brushes George three, four times a day, that she wasn't shedding like she was. And she noticed that she had more energy. And we started noticing these improvements. And I sent him an email. And I said, all right, all right, I'm sold. Let's talk. And I had him on the show, I think, before he ever became a show sponsor. And we've kind of developed a relationship through my dog talking with me about questions I have for my dog. So we were talking about the book is called It's a New Book, A Natural Path to Pet Health, Dr. Dennis Black, how frustrating and kind of sad it makes me. I love what Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. is doing, exposing the red dye and all these terrible things that are going into our food. But as it turns out, and you can speak further to this, Dr. Black, as much as the human food. uh cycle has been corrupted it's even worse for dogs and how sad is that yeah it it's not only is it worse it's atrocious uh the reality is that people feed their dog, you know, they go, it's overwhelming when you go to a big box store to pick up food for your dog and you walk down aisle after aisle, a bag after bag, and you, you know, you see a picture of a dog jumping over a log with a wolf and it says complete and balanced nutrition and all these things. The marketing is just phenomenal on these products. It's all a lie. Every bit of it is a lie. I actually toured a dog manufacturing facility several years ago. I took my German Shepherd with me when I went, and we toured the facility, and there was kibble coming right out of the oven, and it was still warm. And I took a handful of it, and I offered it to my dog Buster, and Buster just took one look at it, and he turned his nose up, just looked the other direction. I asked that my tour guide, I said, Why won't my dog eat this product? And he said, well, we're not done with it yet. I said, oh, well, what do you have to do? He said, we have to spray on palatibility enhancers, fats and oils and flavoring. to get the dogs to eat it. If we didn't do that, the dogs would never eat kibble. And I thought, wow, dogs are actually smarter than we thought. There is almost no regulation, very little regulation on pet food. They make it look like there's regulation, but it's not much. So artificial colors, dyes, and I'm not here to badmouth anyone. You know me, Mike. I'm not here to bad mouth anyone. But I can tell you, if you just look.

at these prepackaged dog foods that are anti-kibble, but look at them closely, you'll find that most of them have artificial colors, dyes, and synthetic vitamins. By the way, synthetic vitamin is code word for your body can't use it, and your dog's body can't use it either. So at best, they will just sluff it off. The dog food that's manufacturing, I mean, it's a billion-dollar industry, and there's really no good dog food out there. So we decided, at Rough Grades, we decided, well, we can do one or two things. We can create a dog food and compete in the dog food space, or we can make a supplement that you just add to any dog food, and it makes it better. I said, let's go with the second option, because all you've got to do is add a spoonful of rough greens. When the dog eats kibble nonstop, and remember, there's no live nutrition in kibble. When the dog eats kibble nonstop. What they end up with are nutritional deficiencies. They show up as medical issues, skin issues, bad breath, digestive issues, joint pain, all kinds of things like that. And people think, oh, you know, I've got to take my dog to the vet and get some apicoil because my dog's allergies are really bad or whatever. No, all you have to do is fix what you're feeding the dog and those symptoms will all go away. So most dog illnesses. are not medical issues at all, their nutritional deficiencies. And when you add something as simple as rough greens to their diet, and like I said, you want to do it for a minimum of 90 days, and then you'll see tons of benefit. You won't completely heal them. Completely healing takes about 180 days, takes about six months to completely rebuild the gut and the immune system. But once you get them healthy, then you can just put them on a maintenance dose of that stuff for the rest of their life. You're going to add 25 to 30% to the lifespan of your pet given based on other dogs of the same breed. The book is A Natural Path to Pet Health by Dr. Dennis Black. I'm just curious. I don't know if I've ever asked you. What percentage of your subscribers of folks who do what I do and use the supplements and all that are cats versus dog owners? So there's about 85 million dog owners in America. And there's about 60 million cat owners. Okay. So it's a roughly 60 to 40% ratio. But the cat owners almost universally have more than one cat. Right? If they have one cat, they usually have three. Right. As a minimum. A dog owners, 25% of the time, they have two dogs or more.

And a lot of people, believe it or not, 25% of pet owners have both a dog and a cat. So that's why we have several bundling options on rough greens. Last night, my wife and I were watching a movie, and George came and laid down beside us, and she did this thing, which always makes us laugh. She went, ha, she don't like the way to the world is on her. And it reminded me of a Cocker Spaniel we had years ago. And I grew up with Cocker Spaniels. And my wife said, because she didn't grow up here, she grew up in India. And I've told her that when I was growing up, Cocker Spaniels was very popular. Did Cocker Spaniels just go away? Do you see people who have Cocker Spaniels? It's not a popular breed as much anymore. And the reason is because they're very energetic. And sometimes... they can be overstressed by children. And so they're not a great family dog per se. There's other dogs that are much better as a family dog. And so a lot of people don't get them because they're afraid that they might get highly stressed around their kids and nip at them or something about that. I don't mean to give them a bad name, but that's the reason why they got away from them as a breed. What are you saying replacing them? Pardon me? What are you seeing replacing them? What breeds for people who do have kids? Well, there's several, it depends on the size of the dog and what your lifestyle is. If you can brush your dog on a regular basis, then shedding doesn't really matter much, especially if you feed them rough greens, they'll shed a lot less, like you said. So golden retrievers are always a good dog. Labadors are always a very popular dog. Golden Doodles, believe it or not, a mix between Golden Retrievers and Poodle is a great dog because they're hypoallergenic, they don't shed as much. They're not terribly smart. They should be, but a lot of them are not terribly smart, but they're just tons of fun for kids and family members. They're a great companion for your family. One of my favorite dogs for people with children, though, is Airdale's. Airdales are a phenomenal dog. Beautiful dog. They're in the Terrier family. Yeah. Yeah. And they're just great, beautiful dog. And they're great for people with children. As a matter of fact, back in the previous century, early 1900s. People used to get Airdales as family pets, and they would put the baby on a blanket out in the yard, in the front yard, and put the Airdale out there with them to babysit. And the Airdale would keep the baby on the blanket, not let anybody come anywhere near the baby. And it was just a natural instinct that Airdales had. And I remember reading about that many times growing up in the 50s, reading stories about Airdales and how protective they were for children. I did not know that. Yeah, it did not know that. Yeah, it's a great, great dog. The book is a natural path to pet health from our friend and big supporter of our show, Dr. Dennis Black. Our little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show, and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it.

Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online? And they say, no, I was on a podcast. Or, as happens for more than anything else, somebody sent me an email and say, hey, check out this podcast. He's from Houston, talks a lot about Texas, but talks about national stuff, and I think you'll like him. And that's how our little podcast grew to be one of the top in the country. It's pretty cool. And so we have show sponsors on the radio. We have show sponsors on the podcast. One of them's a good buddy of mine. His name is Ray Breyers. And he owns the Pipyard Inc. And what he does on his cell phone is people call and go, hey, I got a 118 mile pipeline going through Louisiana into Mississippi. And he says, all right, let me go check it out. He goes out. He rips that pipe out of the ground all the way. And he goes off and sells that to somebody else who needs the pipe. It's a beautiful process. And people call him all from our show, from our podcast, all over the country. Thepipeyard, inc.com. 409-788 pipe. 409-78 pipe. Talk to Ray, the pipe ma'amma, good buddy. Did you know that most insurance companies will pay for a man to have testosterone replacement if he's below 350? Isn't that interesting? You've probably heard that testosterone will, well, invigorate you. Your wife may enjoy that, or she may want to be left alone, but your wife may enjoy that. You may enjoy that. But there's so much more. Let me tell you. More energy, more strength, you feel better. Synergenics. Go get your blood tested. You paid your insurance premiums, hoping that you would never get fire, smoke, damage, water damage, hail damage, hell, we have so many. storms and hurricanes come through here.
