What the why wide world of fortunes.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Are going on here? Hi?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Honey?
Speaker 7 (01:36):
What are you doing swimming?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:38):

Speaker 7 (01:39):

Speaker 5 (01:41):

Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's why YO surprised.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
You can imagine, can't you, Honey.
Speaker 8 (02:06):
A very happy birthday to my friend Spiro Pappus, one
of my favorite Greeks. And that's saying something because I
got a lot of favorite Greeks, my top three Greeks.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No Jimmy the Greek would oh.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Well, I didn't know Jimmy the Greek. I feel like
he got a raw deal. I don't think. First of all,
I don't think being a racist should be a basist
for losing your job. I think doing harm to other
people should number one. Number two, I don't believe he
was a racist. I think that there were people trying
(02:47):
to make a name for themselves by claiming that he
was a racist. Number three, I think he was a very, very,
very talented entertainer, and that's unfortunate. And I don't think
the game was better without him in it. But you
asked for my for three favorite Greeks. Spiro Pappus would
(03:07):
be one. No, Jimmy's not one of them. Spiro Pappus.
Let me think about to give me a minute to
think on this. This is tough. I gotta think who
Who's Greek? I like Chris Pappas, he's good people.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Who else would I say? Do I know this Greek?
Speaker 8 (03:34):
I'm trying to think of people I get visually who
are very hairy, because Greeks tend to be very hairy. Oh, Ted,
the barbecue guy, you know, I forget he's Greek. I
think of him as being more Palestinian. Oh yeah, Ted,
Ted Kazikas.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
What's his name? Ted? Something Greek? I think it's Kazikas
or something like that. Yeah, Ted would would count. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Vaughn, can you hold on just a moment? Ask Vaughn
if he can hold on just a minute, and and
take Lonae Vaughan. Can you hold with me for just
a minute. Yeah, okay, hold on, Lonee. You're on a
Michael Barry show. What you got sweetheart?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Hey Mike, how you doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I'm good?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You know what I'm calling you because I'm just so
sick of what's going on with Centerpoint. Let me tell
you what they did to us yesterday. You know, they
lied and said they were going to, you know, give
you adequate notice when they were working on vegetation in
your area.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Blase, Blase, guess what.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
We're at home, powers out, no noticipation in anything. We're
not sure, Haze, just ouris or what whatever. An hour
after power comes back home, we get the email, Oh,
we're gonna be taking your power down do the vegetation,
you know, remediation and things like that. So they lied
to everybody, as they always do. Why are you going
(04:59):
to take our power out and not let us know
any advance? We need to make sure that Governor Abbot
gets them out of Texas. This is ridiculous. I'm a patient,
a kidney patient, and luckily my friends that live not
too far that have their machines at home. Luckily they
(05:19):
weren't on their machines at that time because they don't
have backup generators and things like that. Yes, okay, they
need to invest in one, but we should be able
to depend on Centerpoint as much money as we pay them.
This is getting out of hand.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Are you on dialysis?
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I am so.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You could have been on dialysis when the power went out.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
And let me tell you, my diasis plan doesn't even
have a backup generator at their location. And that's another
thing that I want to hit on. I hope it's
a way that we can get government Abbot to introduce
a bill or someone to introduce a bill where these
diasis clinics are required to have backup generators.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yes, clinic, you're doing dialysis at home or at a clinic.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Well, I'm at a.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Clinic, but I have some of my cohorts that goes
to the clinic with me. They do it at home
and they just come there when they need to check
into the doctor and things like that.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
You know, what I would be interested to know is
we have at the studio obviously we have backup generators
so we can stay on the air. But we have
what is it called UPC uninterrupted power ups. We have
ups ups. But what I don't know, Lynne, is if
that is if how long that would power a dialysis machine,
(06:39):
because that could be a real problem, a real problem.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
One of the things we learned unfortunately the hard way,
during this last big storm. I think Beryl is a
dumb name, and so I don't say it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I know the name of it.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
But one of the things we learn is a lot
and I don't know what percentage, but it sure seems
a lot of these senior living facilities did not have
backup power, and those that did only had the power
for the lights in the hallway, which is the absolute minimum.
(07:15):
And it's kind of one of those things that I
think people need to start looking at when they make
a decision where to put their loved one, because there
were people who actually died. I don't know that the
proximal cause was the power going out, but that's going
to be the claim that is made. And I'll tell
you what. You start, you start having to pay one
of those claims. You would have been better off getting
(07:37):
a big honking industrial generator.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Exactly. They would have made sure they had the best one. Yeah,
it's just ridiculous, and you know, unfortunately it took something
like this to happen for it to really you know,
get back you know, on a limelight. But we need
to make sure that, yeah, we do what we can do.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
We can go for.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Three days and how long are you hooked up when
you're there four hours and from the moment you walk
in until you're hooked up. Do you have to wait
around or can you pretty much just walk in and
get get taken care of?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
No, I can.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I can walk in and they getting hooked up. It
takes about maybe two takes how much like ten, ten
to fifteen minutes to get hooked up?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And do you have a port that it goes into already?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I have a what they call a fist life.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But they don't have to. They don't have to needle
you each time they've got they've got something they can
go directly.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Into right now.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Oh, yes, they have to each time needles. Yeah, they
have to.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know, you know you thought it was funny, hoary?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
How do you?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
No, I won't do that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's too much for a moment. She won't go that.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That was so funny.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Song was produced and arranged by a song That's why
you hear that New Orleans sound read us.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
Just blocked our vocals out, which is what people's us.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
A lot of French von V Before we get to
what you have to talk about, why don't you just
co host this segment with me?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All right there?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Well you you you host, and I'll help you where
you need it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay, Well, I'll just get to my point if I'm
going to do that.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
But Von, we like to have you co host. It's
a big honor.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
I know it is.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I just don't even know where to start the door.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Our first call is Tyrone seven one three, nine, nine,
one thousand. You say, Tyrone, welcome to the program, and
then he'll start talking and and then you just kind
of respond however you feels natural.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
But if there's a if there's a lull, I'll step in. Okay, okay, right,
go ahead. Welcome to her.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Tyrone, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Good morning, Thank you for inviting you in the program. Wait, anyway,
what are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I was working on my van, but I can't fix it.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I got I called my mechanic to come see if
he could fix it. But this what I was calling
to say was that I enjoyed listening to the Michael Barritshow.
But I think we got some concerns with the election
coming up, with the presidential race. Because I was talking
with my family last night. You know, they still want
to go with the still a woman for presidency, even
(10:58):
though you explained, I explained all kinds of things that
she have done, the stuff they accused the man of
she doing, They doing deministration doing saying that she gonna
fix problems once she get elected, when she got the
power to do so, Now they lost our generation.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
I just hope we have a high turnout and people
vote the right way, because it's just a loss right now,
what I see.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Let me ask you a question. Well, you know, you
go ahead on.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, you know, Tyrone, we you know, as blacks, we
have a voting base that primarily Democrat, and most of
us don't even know what the issues are. Just the
word Democrats seem to suffice. Anybody can come under the
name Democrat. It could be the devil coming out of
(11:44):
hell and call themselves a Democrat without knowing the deal. Well,
so you will have a whole line of blacks waiting
to vote on them.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I can't understand that the stuff they're complaining about the
high price of this and that, and they voted for
that stuff, they were trying to vote for it. I
don't understand it at all. Well, you know at same
time they call, Yeah, they.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Voted the same time for different you know, they voted
people in office in different states. They are voted themselves
out of the state. And now they're going around looking
for a better life. So they're coming to states like
Texas and they're voting the same way, and that don't
make any sense there, No, And it's the part that
(12:29):
that really blows in my mind. They call me cheap
because I'm a conservative.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
But at the same time, they always come in to
borrow money that they never pay buried.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
How you like that? A lot of them used to
getting things free, Tyrone.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Let me ask you a question. I feel like I'm
at the barbershop. This is the life for us, Tyrone.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Let me ask you a question. Let's let's go deep
into the psyche. Why do you think it is because
people are not stupid. We'd like to say they're stupid,
but they're not stupid. These these people you're talking about,
these family members of yours, they are not idiots. So
if you were to delve into their psyche as to
(13:06):
why they're voting that way, because I'll give you my
opinion and you tell me if you think this is
right or not, and that is this, well go ahead, no,
you go ahead.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Well, I think that they trust the people because they
got the same skin color as them. All you got
to do is say they racist or day Republican, and
they turn away so quickly and don't want to hear
no idea of anything else.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That makes sense.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I don't care if you're racist or not, as long
as you're doing what's gonna benefit me.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's the way I'm rolling the exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You know what I think it is.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
And I see this with Jewish friends as well. Let's
use Jewish friends instead of blacks for a moment, just
to see if this applies. There is a sort of
tribalism to every group of people, be they white, be
they Evangelical, Black, Chinese American, Indian American, and so there
is a tribal identity of a sense of community, whether
(14:02):
that's geographic or not. People may not live in the
same area, but there is this sense of tribal identity,
and there is comfort in the pack. There is comfort
to being in that group. And so what people do
when they want to rise up atop that tribe. And
there's a woman named Amy Chua who's written about this
in a book called Tribalism, what they do is they
(14:26):
say that group is about to attack our tribe, or
they're attacking our tribe. They don't like our tribe, but
I will fight them for you. You know, in ancient Greece,
I believe it was the Spartans, or sorry, in ancient Sparta,
I believe it was the Greeks who were her suit.
They had facial hair and the idea of having facial
(14:50):
hair or bearded because the Greeks were hairy and the
Spartans were not. The idea was the hairy people are
evil and they're going to and they're going to steal
our women and rape them. They're going to kill us,
and they're going to kill our children, and they will
make sex slaves of our women. So there was this
fear instilled in the village that no matter what, you
(15:12):
fight to the death, because like the Japanese defending their island,
because once they come, they're going to take everything. And
if you can instill it, you can instill that into
someone the way Palestinian her children are taught to hate
the Jews from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
You dehumanize them.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
It becomes this shared hatred of the outsider who seeks
to destroy our tribe while at the same time tribal preservation,
and so it becomes really and this is The part
that's frustrating for you to get through to them on
Tyrone is it's not about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump,
and we tend to think it is. It's about our tribe.
(15:53):
It's about whether we're going to keep the band together.
It's about whether we're going to keep the family together.
And so it becomes a question of am I going
to go against our family and vote over there with
those other people, and it feels almost treasonous, and the
tighter knit the tribe, the more that is true.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
It is true of Jews, it is true of blacks.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Hispanics have broken that down where you can comfortably say
I am a Republican for these reasons. But what you're experiencing.
I don't think you're arguing to people who actually believe
that Kamala Harris would be a passable president. I don't
think you're arguing with people that believe that things are
(16:37):
going well in this country, including for blacks. I think
you're arguing sadly, unfortunately, something looks far bigger, and that's
where I think we have to talk about, let's fix ourselves.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
As a convalue.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
You're a very sedited person who have just had you
a double Cafe Express Lato with two pieces of mevertose.
Is you ready to listen to some heavily slanted left
wing againda in the form of news this morning? How
about some information from countries you ain't never heard about
and don't give it down? Then you listen to the
(17:10):
wrong damn radio station because this is the Mica Band
program and we do not play that.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Upon him shoes.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You can hear it.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
I will often spend about sixty seconds reading emails during
a break.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Because interesting things are sent.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Unfortunately, you have to wade through the fact that in
twenty twenty four, everybody thinks they're a Yelp reviewer.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
So one woman named Mimi wrote.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
I'm turning off the show right now, long boring songs.
I'm not enjoying this. I know you're going to slam
me for saying that. No, lady, I'm not going to
slam anything. I'm just wondering, do you go to the
movies and halfway through shin up and say.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I'm not enjoying this scene? Everybody? I need y'all to
Can y'all get Dennis Quaid on the phone and tell
him I'm not enjoying this scene. Hey, everybody over here,
Row eight, seat six, I'm not enjoying this scene.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
This scene is not.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Enjoyable to me.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Somebody, somebody over here, can somebody look at me. I'm
not enjoying this scene right now. This scene is not good.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
What are you think?
Speaker 8 (18:27):
I mean, honestly what, I'm not enjoying this part of
the program right now?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You want your money back.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
I'm going to go over here and fire up my
Pewter and I'm going to send him an email and say, hey,
what you're doing right now.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
On the radio program. I'm not enjoying that. Okay, Like,
what level of pomposity do you have?
Speaker 8 (18:55):
What sense of your own importance do you you have
that you honestly think you need to tell me that.
I'm not offended. I think you're an idiot. I do,
I genuinely do. And you know, part of the problem
is maybe not enough people are telling you that. I
think you're out of line. I don't understand. What do
(19:18):
you have any idea how many people are listening? Do
you think that That email comes in and I go, hey, Ramon,
let's do one of those other shows where I just
read from a list of what's wrong with the country
all day. Yeah, maybe that'll make me me happy, and
maybe show email back in a week and says, Okay,
you're back on track. You're telling me how bad Kamala
(19:38):
is and how great Trump is. And that's what I
needed you to do, because that's what I want all
day every day.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You're doing good. Yeah, you just keep doing that. Okay,
let me know in another week.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
MEMI turn the dial, lady. It's no offense. That's the
other thing we've gotten uncomfortable with. People will say to me.
A sales up will come to me and say, hey,
will you speak for this company?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No? Why not?
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Because that's not an industry I feel comfortable talking about
or promoting or endorsing. Or I don't like that person.
I know that person and they have a bad reputation.
They're going to embarrass me with my listeners by providing
bad customer service.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I had to do this recently.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay, But.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
But they want to be on your show. Yeah they're not.
But they're going to pay a lot of money. Okay,
I don't care. I don't need it, I don't want it.
There's other people willing to pay. I'm not going to
not going to speak for the I'm not putting my
name by but they really but and then they'll try
to go around me, they'll go to Eddie, they'll do
something else, and I say.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
No, no, you don't understand.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I'm the only person that can give Michael Berry's endorsement, because,
as it turns out, I'm Michael Berry. So if you
want to have someone pay a professional voice guy who
has a much better voice than me, mind you to say,
Joe Blow Company is wonderful. Here is their phone number.
You're welcome to do that. But you're not going to
(21:05):
get me to say it because I don't believe it.
I think the dude's a douchebag. Well, uh, can we
know you don't understand it's okay to say we can
both exist in the world but not agree on your
That's okay. We don't don't cry, don't whine, don't threaten.
(21:28):
This is what mature people used to do.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
No, I choose not to do that.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
And by the same token, somebody says, hey, we need
to get together for lunch, and you don't see yourself
getting together for lunch because you're busy and you don't
want to buy what they're selling, or you don't want
to hire them, or you don't think that's a good
of It's okay to say no, thank you, but why
it doesn't matter. It's okay and you can say that
(21:54):
you don't have to No, I'm going to be at
my kid's rehearsal every day for the nextport ten years. Yeah, yeah,
just tell the truth. It's okay to have a difficult conversation.
But the reason I do read emails is for this reason.
Rob Richard Taylor writes there are two candidates, but also
(22:15):
two elections. One candidate is running for student body president,
articulating the many accomplishments of his past student council activity,
academic achievements, and goals for the future. The other candidate
is running for Homecoming queen, making friends, being loud, cutting
up in class, and has promised to deliver less homework
(22:36):
when elected. Two candidates, two different elections, but only room
for one to take office. That's why I read my emails,
because that's good, Vaughn, You've been waiting forever. The last
minute of the segment is all yours. I won't interrupt.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
You're very patient, okay, yo, Well, I think you know
with Harris, she won't debate because she's benefiting by letting
Trump speak and exhaust his stances and you know, showing
(23:13):
his hand. And thereafter she'll get with her handlers and
deciding whether to counterpoint his message or to steal it,
you know, in an effort to kind of neutralize him.
I know that's not a revelation, but that's an observation
that I'm sure that many of us have already made.
And also the inflation message that won't change the minds
(23:35):
of the poor because they're being supported financially by the
government and they can't hear it and they can't feel it,
you know, they're just not being affected. And another thing,
Biden went on stage doing one of the rallies that
he said, just like Santa Claus, you know, it's sort
of a mockery toward them. But anyway, I think his
(23:57):
best approach is to speak on her past records, the
fingers they had done and did not do it.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Today the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Me very mad.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
She emailed back to tell me she will never be
listening again again.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
So since the last time when you weren't listening and
you turned it off and I talk bad about you,
now you're even more mad that I've talked bad about
you on the show you had turned off.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
What am I missing?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Me? Me?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
What am I missing this time? I'm really going away
and I'm never coming back. We mean, I understand right,
you don't like the food at this restaurant. We've got
a line out the door two miles long, and you've
been sitting at the table and these people want to
sit down, and they do like our food.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I've said this before. There's no hard feelings if you
turn the show off.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
We have more listeners than we have bandwidth for, so
if I'm sure there's something riveting on another station, please
go over there. I'm not trying to be rude. People
are used to when they threaten. I will take my dollar,
I will take my attention. I will take whatever it
is you want from me, and I will rip it
away from you and I will go give it to
someone else unless you beg me to come back. I'm
(25:21):
going to beg you. Not because I don't like you
or I want to fight with you. I just I
have other people to take care of and you're not
one of them. Please understand that. But now I'm really
mad because I wanted you to treat me like I
was important.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I know, well, no, bless your heart. I bet that
theme is consistent throughout the course of your life.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I really do.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
But you said to email you. Yeah, I didn't say
to email me and threaten to murder the president. I
didn't say to email me and insult my kids. I
didn't say to email me with some horrible, awful thing.
I would assume you knew the basic rules of engagement.
Clearly you don't, and we've parted ways. I would block her,
but I'd like to hear the five more times she
emails me that she's no longer listening after not being listening.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
You know what I would like to do.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
A listener suggested this a great idea. I'd like you
to call up. We're gonna do this for the rest
of the show, and I'd like you to tell me
very quickly. I'll call your first name, and I want
you to say I am a black female thirty six
voting for Donald Trump. Because now I want you to
(26:28):
understand this. This is hard for people to do. Less
is more. I want your brevity is a soul of wit.
I want you to get right to your point. I
want you I'm voting for President Trump because I want
this He'll solve the inflation conundrum. I'm voting for President
Trump because blah blah, blah blah. I want you to
(26:51):
be quick about it. It can't be along.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
You read all this stuff and watch I think it's good,
But I want you to give your demographics. I want
people to understand. And it's not just blacks. People think
that we've got to find more blacks and amplify them.
It's not just blacks. Blacks are only thirteen percent of
the population. It's young people. Young people don't realize that
(27:16):
young people are voting for Trump. Young people don't realize
that their life is at stake. People are being bundled
into categories based on where they are without realizing, Hey,
this is going to affect me too. It's going to
affect my job opportunities. This is going to affect my parents'
financial stability upon which I depend right now, this is
(27:39):
going to affect my ability to worship freely seven on.
Speaker 4 (27:42):

pasting music, whatever you think that may be.

The problem is you have a sense of humor and
an old radio sense of humor. And to you and
about ten people, you know, that's funny to all the
literal old people, and the old people tend to be
very literal. This includes my parents. They're gonna go, well,
Ramon's not even voting for Trump.

Yeah he is.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
He's joking.

Why would he say it? How come him to say
it if he didn't mean it? And now I'm gonna
have to hear about it. That's Ramona's not voting for RFK.
This is why you all ask me all the time.
How come Ramon doesn't get talked because he does stupid
stuff just like that. That's why let's go to Ben Ben.

Speaker 7 (01:36):
What are you doing swimming?
Speaker 2 (01:38):

Speaker 1 (01:38):

That's why YO surprised.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
You can imagine, can't you, Honey.
Speaker 8 (02:06):
A very happy birthday to my friend Spiro Pappus, one
of my favorite Greeks. And that's saying something because I
got a lot of favorite Greeks, my top three Greeks.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No Jimmy the Greek would oh.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Well, I didn't know Jimmy the Greek. I feel like
he got a raw deal. I don't think. First of all,
I don't think being a racist should be a basist
for losing your job. I think doing harm to other
people should number one. Number two, I don't believe he
was a racist. I think that there were people trying
(02:47):
to make a name for themselves by claiming that he
was a racist. Number three, I think he was a very, very,
very talented entertainer, and that's unfortunate. And I don't think
the game was better without him in it. But you
asked for my for three favorite Greeks. Spiro Pappus would
(03:07):
be one. No, Jimmy's not one of them. Spiro Pappus.
Let me think about to give me a minute to
think on this. This is tough. I gotta think who
Who's Greek? I like Chris Pappas, he's good people.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Who else would I say? Do I know this Greek?
Speaker 8 (03:34):
I'm trying to think of people I get visually who
are very hairy, because Greeks tend to be very hairy. Oh, Ted,
the barbecue guy, you know, I forget he's Greek. I
think of him as being more Palestinian. Oh yeah, Ted,
Ted Kazikas.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
What's his name? Ted? Something Greek? I think it's Kazikas
or something like that. Yeah, Ted would would count. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Vaughn, can you hold on just a moment? Ask Vaughn
if he can hold on just a minute, and and
take Lonae Vaughan. Can you hold with me for just
a minute. Yeah, okay, hold on, Lonee. You're on a
Michael Barry show. What you got sweetheart?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Hey Mike, how you doing this morning?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I'm good?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You know what I'm calling you because I'm just so
sick of what's going on with Centerpoint. Let me tell
you what they did to us yesterday. You know, they
lied and said they were going to, you know, give
you adequate notice when they were working on vegetation in
your area.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Blase, Blase, guess what.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
We're at home, powers out, no noticipation in anything. We're
not sure, Haze, just ouris or what whatever. An hour
after power comes back home, we get the email, Oh,
we're gonna be taking your power down do the vegetation,
you know, remediation and things like that. So they lied
to everybody, as they always do. Why are you going
(04:59):
to take our power out and not let us know
any advance? We need to make sure that Governor Abbot
gets them out of Texas. This is ridiculous. I'm a patient,
a kidney patient, and luckily my friends that live not
too far that have their machines at home. Luckily they
(05:19):
weren't on their machines at that time because they don't
have backup generators and things like that. Yes, okay, they
need to invest in one, but we should be able
to depend on Centerpoint as much money as we pay them.
This is getting out of hand.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Are you on dialysis?
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
I am so.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You could have been on dialysis when the power went out.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
And let me tell you, my diasis plan doesn't even
have a backup generator at their location. And that's another
thing that I want to hit on. I hope it's
a way that we can get government Abbot to introduce
a bill or someone to introduce a bill where these
diasis clinics are required to have backup generators.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yes, clinic, you're doing dialysis at home or at a clinic.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Well, I'm at a.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Clinic, but I have some of my cohorts that goes
to the clinic with me. They do it at home
and they just come there when they need to check
into the doctor and things like that.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
You know, what I would be interested to know is
we have at the studio obviously we have backup generators
so we can stay on the air. But we have
what is it called UPC uninterrupted power ups. We have
ups ups. But what I don't know, Lynne, is if
that is if how long that would power a dialysis machine,
(06:39):
because that could be a real problem, a real problem.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You know.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
One of the things we learned unfortunately the hard way,
during this last big storm. I think Beryl is a
dumb name, and so I don't say it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I know the name of it.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
But one of the things we learn is a lot
and I don't know what percentage, but it sure seems
a lot of these senior living facilities did not have
backup power, and those that did only had the power
for the lights in the hallway, which is the absolute minimum.
(07:15):
And it's kind of one of those things that I
think people need to start looking at when they make
a decision where to put their loved one, because there
were people who actually died. I don't know that the
proximal cause was the power going out, but that's going
to be the claim that is made. And I'll tell
you what. You start, you start having to pay one
of those claims. You would have been better off getting
(07:37):
a big honking industrial generator.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Exactly. They would have made sure they had the best one. Yeah,
it's just ridiculous, and you know, unfortunately it took something
like this to happen for it to really you know,
get back you know, on a limelight. But we need
to make sure that, yeah, we do what we can do.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
We can go for.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Three days and how long are you hooked up when
you're there four hours and from the moment you walk
in until you're hooked up. Do you have to wait
around or can you pretty much just walk in and
get get taken care of?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
No, I can.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I can walk in and they getting hooked up. It
takes about maybe two takes how much like ten, ten
to fifteen minutes to get hooked up?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And do you have a port that it goes into already?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I have a what they call a fist life.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But they don't have to. They don't have to needle
you each time they've got they've got something they can
go directly.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Into right now.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Oh, yes, they have to each time needles. Yeah, they
have to.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You know, you know you thought it was funny, hoary?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
How do you?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
No, I won't do that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's too much for a moment. She won't go that.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That was so funny.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Song was produced and arranged by a song That's why
you hear that New Orleans sound read us.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
Just blocked our vocals out, which is what people's us.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
A lot of French von V Before we get to
what you have to talk about, why don't you just
co host this segment with me?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All right there?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Well you you you host, and I'll help you where
you need it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay, Well, I'll just get to my point if I'm
going to do that.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
But Von, we like to have you co host. It's
a big honor.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
I know it is.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I just don't even know where to start the door.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Our first call is Tyrone seven one three, nine, nine,
one thousand. You say, Tyrone, welcome to the program, and
then he'll start talking and and then you just kind
of respond however you feels natural.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
But if there's a if there's a lull, I'll step in. Okay, okay, right,
go ahead. Welcome to her.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Tyrone, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Good morning, Thank you for inviting you in the program. Wait, anyway,
what are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I was working on my van, but I can't fix it.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I got I called my mechanic to come see if
he could fix it. But this what I was calling
to say was that I enjoyed listening to the Michael Barritshow.
But I think we got some concerns with the election
coming up, with the presidential race. Because I was talking
with my family last night. You know, they still want
to go with the still a woman for presidency, even
(10:58):
though you explained, I explained all kinds of things that
she have done, the stuff they accused the man of
she doing, They doing deministration doing saying that she gonna
fix problems once she get elected, when she got the
power to do so, Now they lost our generation.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
I just hope we have a high turnout and people
vote the right way, because it's just a loss right now,
what I see.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Let me ask you a question. Well, you know, you
go ahead on.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, you know, Tyrone, we you know, as blacks, we
have a voting base that primarily Democrat, and most of
us don't even know what the issues are. Just the
word Democrats seem to suffice. Anybody can come under the
name Democrat. It could be the devil coming out of
(11:44):
hell and call themselves a Democrat without knowing the deal. Well,
so you will have a whole line of blacks waiting
to vote on them.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I can't understand that the stuff they're complaining about the
high price of this and that, and they voted for
that stuff, they were trying to vote for it. I
don't understand it at all. Well, you know at same
time they call, Yeah, they.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Voted the same time for different you know, they voted
people in office in different states. They are voted themselves
out of the state. And now they're going around looking
for a better life. So they're coming to states like
Texas and they're voting the same way, and that don't
make any sense there, No, And it's the part that
(12:29):
that really blows in my mind. They call me cheap
because I'm a conservative.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
But at the same time, they always come in to
borrow money that they never pay buried.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
How you like that? A lot of them used to
getting things free, Tyrone.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Let me ask you a question. I feel like I'm
at the barbershop. This is the life for us, Tyrone.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Let me ask you a question. Let's let's go deep
into the psyche. Why do you think it is because
people are not stupid. We'd like to say they're stupid,
but they're not stupid. These these people you're talking about,
these family members of yours, they are not idiots. So
if you were to delve into their psyche as to
(13:06):
why they're voting that way, because I'll give you my
opinion and you tell me if you think this is
right or not, and that is this, well go ahead, no,
you go ahead.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Well, I think that they trust the people because they
got the same skin color as them. All you got
to do is say they racist or day Republican, and
they turn away so quickly and don't want to hear
no idea of anything else.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That makes sense.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I don't care if you're racist or not, as long
as you're doing what's gonna benefit me.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That's the way I'm rolling the exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You know what I think it is.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
And I see this with Jewish friends as well. Let's
use Jewish friends instead of blacks for a moment, just
to see if this applies. There is a sort of
tribalism to every group of people, be they white, be
they Evangelical, Black, Chinese American, Indian American, and so there
is a tribal identity of a sense of community, whether
(14:02):
that's geographic or not. People may not live in the
same area, but there is this sense of tribal identity,
and there is comfort in the pack. There is comfort
to being in that group. And so what people do
when they want to rise up atop that tribe. And
there's a woman named Amy Chua who's written about this
in a book called Tribalism, what they do is they
(14:26):
say that group is about to attack our tribe, or
they're attacking our tribe. They don't like our tribe, but
I will fight them for you. You know, in ancient Greece,
I believe it was the Spartans, or sorry, in ancient Sparta,
I believe it was the Greeks who were her suit.
They had facial hair and the idea of having facial
(14:50):
hair or bearded because the Greeks were hairy and the
Spartans were not. The idea was the hairy people are
evil and they're going to and they're going to steal
our women and rape them. They're going to kill us,
and they're going to kill our children, and they will
make sex slaves of our women. So there was this
fear instilled in the village that no matter what, you
(15:12):
fight to the death, because like the Japanese defending their island,
because once they come, they're going to take everything. And
if you can instill it, you can instill that into
someone the way Palestinian her children are taught to hate
the Jews from the beginning.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
You dehumanize them.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
It becomes this shared hatred of the outsider who seeks
to destroy our tribe while at the same time tribal preservation,
and so it becomes really and this is The part
that's frustrating for you to get through to them on
Tyrone is it's not about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump,
and we tend to think it is. It's about our tribe.
(15:53):
It's about whether we're going to keep the band together.
It's about whether we're going to keep the family together.
And so it becomes a question of am I going
to go against our family and vote over there with
those other people, and it feels almost treasonous, and the
tighter knit the tribe, the more that is true.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
It is true of Jews, it is true of blacks.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Hispanics have broken that down where you can comfortably say
I am a Republican for these reasons. But what you're experiencing.
I don't think you're arguing to people who actually believe
that Kamala Harris would be a passable president. I don't
think you're arguing with people that believe that things are
(16:37):
going well in this country, including for blacks. I think
you're arguing sadly, unfortunately, something looks far bigger, and that's
where I think we have to talk about, let's fix ourselves.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
As a convalue.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
You're a very sedited person who have just had you
a double Cafe Express Lato with two pieces of mevertose.
Is you ready to listen to some heavily slanted left
wing againda in the form of news this morning? How
about some information from countries you ain't never heard about
and don't give it down? Then you listen to the
(17:10):
wrong damn radio station because this is the Mica Band
program and we do not play that.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Upon him shoes.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You can hear it.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
I will often spend about sixty seconds reading emails during
a break.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Because interesting things are sent.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Unfortunately, you have to wade through the fact that in
twenty twenty four, everybody thinks they're a Yelp reviewer.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
So one woman named Mimi wrote.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
I'm turning off the show right now, long boring songs.
I'm not enjoying this. I know you're going to slam
me for saying that. No, lady, I'm not going to
slam anything. I'm just wondering, do you go to the
movies and halfway through shin up and say.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I'm not enjoying this scene? Everybody? I need y'all to
Can y'all get Dennis Quaid on the phone and tell
him I'm not enjoying this scene. Hey, everybody over here,
Row eight, seat six, I'm not enjoying this scene.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
This scene is not.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Enjoyable to me.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Somebody, somebody over here, can somebody look at me. I'm
not enjoying this scene right now. This scene is not good.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
What are you think?
Speaker 8 (18:27):
I mean, honestly what, I'm not enjoying this part of
the program right now?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You want your money back.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
I'm going to go over here and fire up my
Pewter and I'm going to send him an email and say, hey,
what you're doing right now.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
On the radio program. I'm not enjoying that. Okay, Like,
what level of pomposity do you have?
Speaker 8 (18:55):
What sense of your own importance do you you have
that you honestly think you need to tell me that.
I'm not offended. I think you're an idiot. I do,
I genuinely do. And you know, part of the problem
is maybe not enough people are telling you that. I
think you're out of line. I don't understand. What do
(19:18):
you have any idea how many people are listening? Do
you think that That email comes in and I go, hey, Ramon,
let's do one of those other shows where I just
read from a list of what's wrong with the country
all day. Yeah, maybe that'll make me me happy, and
maybe show email back in a week and says, Okay,
you're back on track. You're telling me how bad Kamala
(19:38):
is and how great Trump is. And that's what I
needed you to do, because that's what I want all
day every day.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You're doing good. Yeah, you just keep doing that. Okay,
let me know in another week.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
MEMI turn the dial, lady. It's no offense. That's the
other thing we've gotten uncomfortable with. People will say to me.
A sales up will come to me and say, hey,
will you speak for this company?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No? Why not?
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Because that's not an industry I feel comfortable talking about
or promoting or endorsing. Or I don't like that person.
I know that person and they have a bad reputation.
They're going to embarrass me with my listeners by providing
bad customer service.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I had to do this recently.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay, But.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
But they want to be on your show. Yeah they're not.
But they're going to pay a lot of money. Okay,
I don't care. I don't need it, I don't want it.
There's other people willing to pay. I'm not going to
not going to speak for the I'm not putting my
name by but they really but and then they'll try
to go around me, they'll go to Eddie, they'll do
something else, and I say.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
No, no, you don't understand.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I'm the only person that can give Michael Berry's endorsement, because,
as it turns out, I'm Michael Berry. So if you
want to have someone pay a professional voice guy who
has a much better voice than me, mind you to say,
Joe Blow Company is wonderful. Here is their phone number.
You're welcome to do that. But you're not going to
(21:05):
get me to say it because I don't believe it.
I think the dude's a douchebag. Well, uh, can we
know you don't understand it's okay to say we can
both exist in the world but not agree on your
That's okay. We don't don't cry, don't whine, don't threaten.
(21:28):
This is what mature people used to do.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
No, I choose not to do that.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
And by the same token, somebody says, hey, we need
to get together for lunch, and you don't see yourself
getting together for lunch because you're busy and you don't
want to buy what they're selling, or you don't want
to hire them, or you don't think that's a good
of It's okay to say no, thank you, but why
it doesn't matter. It's okay and you can say that
(21:54):
you don't have to No, I'm going to be at
my kid's rehearsal every day for the nextport ten years. Yeah, yeah,
just tell the truth. It's okay to have a difficult conversation.
But the reason I do read emails is for this reason.
Rob Richard Taylor writes there are two candidates, but also
(22:15):
two elections. One candidate is running for student body president,
articulating the many accomplishments of his past student council activity,
academic achievements, and goals for the future. The other candidate
is running for Homecoming queen, making friends, being loud, cutting
up in class, and has promised to deliver less homework
(22:36):
when elected. Two candidates, two different elections, but only room
for one to take office. That's why I read my emails,
because that's good, Vaughn, You've been waiting forever. The last
minute of the segment is all yours. I won't interrupt.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
You're very patient, okay, yo, Well, I think you know
with Harris, she won't debate because she's benefiting by letting
Trump speak and exhaust his stances and you know, showing
(23:13):
his hand. And thereafter she'll get with her handlers and
deciding whether to counterpoint his message or to steal it,
you know, in an effort to kind of neutralize him.
I know that's not a revelation, but that's an observation
that I'm sure that many of us have already made.
And also the inflation message that won't change the minds
(23:35):
of the poor because they're being supported financially by the
government and they can't hear it and they can't feel it,
you know, they're just not being affected. And another thing,
Biden went on stage doing one of the rallies that
he said, just like Santa Claus, you know, it's sort
of a mockery toward them. But anyway, I think his
(23:57):
best approach is to speak on her past records, the
fingers they had done and did not do it.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Today the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Me very mad.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
She emailed back to tell me she will never be
listening again again.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
So since the last time when you weren't listening and
you turned it off and I talk bad about you,
now you're even more mad that I've talked bad about
you on the show you had turned off.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
What am I missing?
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Me? Me?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
What am I missing this time? I'm really going away
and I'm never coming back. We mean, I understand right,
you don't like the food at this restaurant. We've got
a line out the door two miles long, and you've
been sitting at the table and these people want to
sit down, and they do like our food.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I've said this before. There's no hard feelings if you
turn the show off.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
We have more listeners than we have bandwidth for, so
if I'm sure there's something riveting on another station, please
go over there. I'm not trying to be rude. People
are used to when they threaten. I will take my dollar,
I will take my attention. I will take whatever it
is you want from me, and I will rip it
away from you and I will go give it to
someone else unless you beg me to come back. I'm
(25:21):
going to beg you. Not because I don't like you
or I want to fight with you. I just I
have other people to take care of and you're not
one of them. Please understand that. But now I'm really
mad because I wanted you to treat me like I
was important.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I know, well, no, bless your heart. I bet that
theme is consistent throughout the course of your life.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I really do.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
But you said to email you. Yeah, I didn't say
to email me and threaten to murder the president. I
didn't say to email me and insult my kids. I
didn't say to email me with some horrible, awful thing.
I would assume you knew the basic rules of engagement.
Clearly you don't, and we've parted ways. I would block her,
but I'd like to hear the five more times she
emails me that she's no longer listening after not being listening.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
You know what I would like to do.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
A listener suggested this a great idea. I'd like you
to call up. We're gonna do this for the rest
of the show, and I'd like you to tell me
very quickly. I'll call your first name, and I want
you to say I am a black female thirty six
voting for Donald Trump. Because now I want you to
(26:28):
understand this. This is hard for people to do. Less
is more. I want your brevity is a soul of wit.
I want you to get right to your point. I
want you I'm voting for President Trump because I want
this He'll solve the inflation conundrum. I'm voting for President
Trump because blah blah, blah blah. I want you to
(26:51):
be quick about it. It can't be along.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
You read all this stuff and watch I think it's good,
But I want you to give your demographics. I want
people to understand. And it's not just blacks. People think
that we've got to find more blacks and amplify them.
It's not just blacks. Blacks are only thirteen percent of
the population. It's young people. Young people don't realize that
(27:16):
young people are voting for Trump. Young people don't realize
that their life is at stake. People are being bundled
into categories based on where they are without realizing, Hey,
this is going to affect me too. It's going to
affect my job opportunities. This is going to affect my parents'
financial stability upon which I depend right now, this is
(27:39):
going to affect my ability to worship freely seven on.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Three nine nine nine one thousand. Ramon, give us some
pasting music, whatever you think that may be.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
But first I want you to be our first caller
with this Romon, because I don't know how you're going
to vote.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Okay, so I want you to call in. Yeah you,
yeah you?
Speaker 1 (27:56):

Let's see what we got here. Tell me when it's
coming in and I'll try to I'll try to pick
it up. I'm not real. Y'all might have figured out
I'm not real good with the technical stuff. I do
more of the talking. Okay, all right, here we go.

Well, I'm sorry, did you want me to be honest,
or you just hear say what you wanted to say.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Okay, you know what I mean, I can I can
be what's gonna happen?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Say whatever you want to hear.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
The problem is you have a sense of humor and
an old radio sense of humor. And to you and
about ten people, you know, that's funny to all the
literal old people, and the old people tend to be
very literal. This includes my parents. They're gonna go, well,
Ramon's not even voting for Trump.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah he is.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
He's joking.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
He said it.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Why would he say it? How come him to say
it if he didn't mean it? And now I'm gonna
have to hear about it. That's Ramona's not voting for RFK.
This is why you all ask me all the time.
How come Ramon doesn't get talked because he does stupid
stuff just like that. That's why let's go to Ben Ben.
