Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. The woman
(00:36):
dying at the Wells Fargo and not being discovered for
approximately four days has left everybody feeling weird. But it
really is perhaps one of the better examples of how
disconnected we have become. I don't think we need to
(00:57):
be in a commune where we're holding hand and singing kumbayah.
But technology has allowed people to replace the human connection
with something that gives them. It gives them a serotonin
(01:17):
that is released. It gives them a connection to something.
That thing that gives there's a give and take. They
don't feel so lonely anymore. They can find a community
of like minded weirdos, perverts, nerds, geeks, radio people, TV people,
technology people, sex people, travel people, engineering people, whatever it is.
(01:44):
They can find communities of people that they may never
meet in person. I see it in young people. Michael
being two years older than Crockett, or two grade levels
ahead of Crockett. Michael's grade level always gathered together. They
wanted a car at sixteen, who wanted to be able
(02:05):
to get together the way we did. Crockets grade two
years later don't gather at all and don't care to.
Now they communicate perhaps more often, but they don't do
it in person, and it's across the grade. It's a
really interesting phenomenon how that works. But back to the
(02:28):
lady who was at the Wells Fargo for four years,
for four days and the people working there not noticing.
It was so bad that the body had begun smelling
after four days and they thought maybe there was a
plumbing problem, And then they said, we need protocols. How
(02:53):
would you have a protocol? You just don't notice other
people that work there and if they're dead. Sad part
is she must not have had anybody at home either,
how lonely she had to be. But it got me
to thinking about crazy things had happened in a workplace.
(03:17):
We may or may not get a response to this,
but if anyone ever died at your workplace, yeah, I'm
going never moment. I want you to call and tell
the story. Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. Eddie Martinez
told me the story. He was in high school years
(03:40):
was years ago. He told me this and many years
ago that it happened to him. Because he's sixty. He
had a coach who passed and I guess he was
having a heart attack while they were in gym class
or whatever, and they went to get the guy and
(04:02):
get in. I guess they put him on a gurney
and they're taking him out, and as his body released,
he pooped. And we talked about the fact that that
is apparently a very common you know, I guess you're
kind of always a little bit clenched, Ramo. I don't
know if you knew that. And when you die, your
(04:22):
body releases in boop, there it goes you void. As
the doctor say, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
seven one three nine nine one thousand, let's start with Steve.
We haven't gotten to those calls yet. Actually hold off
on that. Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.
Today is National Wiener Schnitzel Day, National Wiener Schnitzel Day,
(04:50):
and that got me thinking about one of my favorite
fast food restaurants of all time. They're Der Wiener Snitzel
from nineteen seventy six and now.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Watch closely a corner by Corny. Oh well, that's what
I call my disappearing corn dog trick.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Just race you.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Actually here there. Ramon was not fortunate enough to grow
up with the Derweener Schnitzel in his town, but it
was all the rage in Orange. We found this one
from nineteen seventy. Oh, that one was. Yeah, this one, well,
I can't remember which one. He said had a creep factor.
(05:37):
Maybe that's this one.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You're looking for him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Please to eat with pencil family. Some sir burgers, some
serve hot dogs.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
No one can a creek see now wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
We're rounds together now with hamburgers and hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No morning to.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Look around, hamburgers in the huge now together now.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And so that one has a little more uplifting kind
of Soviet German. We're all happy here, aren't we. The
other one does have a touch of a creep factor.
I didn't realize that. You're absolutely right, it does, all right.
So the phone calls, we go about death at your workplace.
(06:28):
Let's start with Carla, Carla, you're up, go ahead, dear.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Hey, Hi, Michael, him, Michael, it was not my workplace.
Many years ago, we were on a cruise and my
husband was an older cruise We were on Holland America
and we were younger, he made friends with an older gentleman,
and they hung out a lot, and they this and
that and the other. We didn't see him forever. The
man after that, we couldn't find him and didn't see him. Well,
(06:53):
we found out that he had been by the pool,
and he was laying by the pool. They lay there,
I don't know how long, a couple of days, and
they finally figured out he had died by the pool.
Nobody noticed it. They put it, finally put it, took
a mirror, put it under his nose, and saw that
it was not giving, you know, signs of breathing. And
(07:18):
he died right there in the chair by the pool
on the Hall of America.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Crew, did you did you see him? Did you see
the dead body?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I did not. I did not.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, we're all I was going to say, is there
are worse places to go, worse ways to go.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You absolutely there are. But it was still, you know,
he's I think he stayed there, who knows how long,
because he liked it up there. He likes seeing the horizon.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
They just didn't know this.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well. I mean, I can't help but think I wish
we all. You know, so many times a person is
gasping for their last breath for some period of time,
and finally they get some relief. You know what I had.
I had an extended relative not uh and and I
(08:11):
heard what they referred to as the death rattle. And
I'll never forget that sound for the for the rest
of my life. And I you know, it's a tough
it's a tough conversation to have. But boy, to watch
somebody suffer and gasp for air and wheeze and you know,
be uncommunicative but in extreme pain, it's it's difficult. And
(08:32):
then here's this guy. He's out at the pool, you know,
laid out like Joe Biden, probably having a blast. Carla,
did you call in once before about damn Pastorini?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh, damn Pastorini. I loan hit money one time.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I when you called in on the screen, it popped
up as Carla Pastorini, and I thought, your god, Pastorini
didn't die her workplace.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Did he?
Speaker 6 (08:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yours coming up? What's the name you say?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Michael Beddy.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
On this day in nineteen forty two, A brilliant choice,
by the way, a Japanese floatplane dropped an incendiary bomb,
actually multiple bombs on Oregon State Forest. The first air
attack on the US mainland in the war. Launching from
the Japanese sub I twenty five, Nobuo Fujita piloted his
(09:26):
piloted his light aircraft over the state of Oregon and
firebombed Mount emily A, lighting a state forest. The president.
The president immediately called for a news blackout for the
sake of morale. No long term damage was done, and
Fujita eventually went home to train navy pilots for the
rest of the war. How about that, there you go,
(09:53):
And Chad said, on that note, here's the newspaper clippings
about my grandfather Komichi Nakanishi I was telling you about.
Below is the note in the newspaper from my great
great grandma about my grandpa joining the army during World
War Two. My grandpa and his three brothers were all
in the military during World War Two. One of his brothers,
Toshio or left, was pretty renowned, rising to the rank
(10:17):
of lieutenant colonel. And then there's the article in the newspaper.
We say thank you in behalf of my son Komichi.
I wish to take this means of extending my sincere
thanks and appreciation to the many friends for the many
gifts and congratulatory messages extended him prior to his induction
into the United States Army. I am indeed proud to
(10:38):
have him serve in the United States Army and am
confident that he will bring home to the He will
bring sorry, he will bring honor to the uniform he
wears signed Missus Fujiko Nakanishi Hanomu, Hawaii. And then there's
a picture of him and he's looking very smart, man,
(10:59):
I say, in his uniform, getting ready to go off tour.
All right, your stories we did Carlo. Let's go to Joe.
Your stories of death at the office or somewhere else weird,
Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Yes, sir Michael, Hey, yeah, I was at work man.
It was a mechanic at one time and used to
do yard checks for a truck and company, and you
know we do yard check every day. Well, finally we
get a call and asked if this certain vehicle was
on the yard, and so went out there and checked
and we showed it on the paper and we said
yes here. So when we went out there to go
(11:35):
see because they couldn't find the driver, the driver was
in his truck windows rolled up locked and like stuck
to it, you know, just in the driver's seat, hands
on the steerwheel just slumped over. So we were banging
on the window and like no movement. So went back
to the dispatch office and told him there's a guy
in there, but he ain't moving, and so they ended
(11:57):
up calling the police and the uh, the the you know,
they came out, and then they had medics come out,
and sure enough, the guy had passed apparently on the
yard check. The vehicle was there for like five days
and so like nobody knew we was out doing the
yard check, but we just write numbers down and never
(12:18):
real you know, we don't really pay attention to the
people in the vehicles at the time. Right now, this
was back you know, probably ten fifteen years ago, but
you know, but yeah, it was kind of weird, you know.
And we also had a guy that was driving the
truck up fifty nine. He was an older guy, and
he ended up having a heart attack at the wheel
and drove off on fifty nine going north and went
into the woods and you know, he passed. You know,
(12:42):
I guess he's hard just gave out on him while
he was driving.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Weird.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I lived very close to a family called the black
Shars and Joe Blacksher or black Sheer, however you want
to pronounce it. There was a split of opinion. Was
a couple of years older than me, and he was
raised by his grandparents. I don't know what had happened
with his parents, but his grandparents were driving in the grandfather,
(13:13):
who was like his dad he raised him, had a
heart attack, veered off side of the road, crashed and
killed both of them, leaving him without parents. And then
Assim Bensali, who I went to law school with. His
parents were in India visiting their family there. They were
from India and Asim was an only child, and he
(13:33):
got the call that his parents had died in a
fatal crash in India, and that meant he had no
family left. He had nothing other than extended family in India.
He had no family left. As Sim started law school.
He's a brilliant, brilliant guy. He started law school. He
(13:54):
started college at Berkeley at sixteen on a full scholarship.
He graduated in two and a half years. So he
came to law school before his nineteenth birthday. That's crazy.
Let's go to Corey. Corey, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
What's your story?
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Well, I actually have a couple. My boss, he was
from the older generation.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
He's a rough and tumble guy.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
He was the kind of guy that got up before
in the morning, read the paper and was at the
office of six and then better than you by said
where the hell you were at? But he was like
that for a long long time. And then I noticed
I didn't get any calls that morning, and no one
else did. And it turned out he had got out
of the office early and he had had a heart
(14:45):
attack at his desk, and he wasn't He was pretty
much gone. I mean, they kind of resuscitated him, but
he never came back to life. He was basically bringing them.
I took him to the hospital. Then I was in
Iraq in two thousand and four and the Iron had
infiltrated some bad guys that infiltrated the I n G.
And they snuck in a peka tig gallon drum of
(15:07):
ball bearings into the chaw hal and blew that up
and he killed my supply sergeant and my pl That
was a bad day at the office.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, I would think that would be where were you
when it went off?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
I was outside the chow, and.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
What happened.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Just by sheer luck you weren't inside.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
It was by total luck. I mean, there was a
couple of things that happened that on that tour that
was by total luck.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I missed.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
I just I had to go on a mission. I
was supposed to go on a mission as an air
guard gunner on one of the medic trucks on the Strikers,
and then for some reason, my commanders needed me to
stay back that day this side of the blue, and
he say, man, I just need to stay back today,
and I was like, okay. So somebody else.
Speaker 10 (16:05):
Was subded in my position and that truck got.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Hit and the guy survived, but he had some pretty
mean looking scars. Afterwards we saw him we got back
to Port Lewis.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Wow, there is something reading emails or something about someone
dying and not being discovered immediately that bothers people. I'm
noticing that theme. You know, we've all known the people die,
but it's when the body is there for some period
of time that people get really bothered by it. Dennis,
(16:34):
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Go ahead, sir, oh Okay, Michael, I was driving forkliff
for a trucking company. We were all assigned individual trailers
to break down, which means take the freight off of
them and point it to wherever it says to go to.
And we had a fair to go into his trailer,
and apparently well his fork eat he had reason to
(17:00):
stick his head through the mask of the forklift while
the forks were up, despite all training saying never ever
do that.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Anyhow, when he did, he leaned on the down lever
and that came down on his head and took about
an hour or so for people, you know, for anybody
to find him, you know, because we all had our
own trailers and and it was it was ugly. We
(17:32):
We had a cop working on the docks at the
time as a part time job, and as soon as
he heard there was a problem in that door, he
bolted up to that door. He went in and told everybody,
you don't want to go in there.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
It nearly took his head off. And then he worked
for his father, was the dock supervisor.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
On the next ship, and that was how his father
found out he had.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Gotten very brigade activate the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and PETA have been strangely silent on the Haitians stealing
people's cats and eating them, as well as ducks and
other household pets that various people have. I wonder if
(18:55):
they don't have an opinion about that. The story out
of Arizona. But woman who died and is presumed to
have sat at her desk slooped stooped over her desk
dead for almost four days.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
A Wells Fargo employee went to work the morning of Friday,
August sixteenth and never went home. Tempe police till twelve
News sixty year old Denise Prudham scanned into work at
seven o'clock in the morning. Four days later, police responded
to the office building near Washington Street and Priest Drive
for reports of a subject down. Prudem was declared dead.
(19:30):
The Tempe Police Criminal Investigation Bureau is investigating, but do
not suspect foul play. A Wells Fargo employee exclusively spoke
with twelve News but asked not to be recorded or
identified out of fear for their job. They say a
colleague found Prudam dead at her desk in a cubicle
while walking around the building on Tuesday, August twentieth. Prudom's
(19:50):
cubicle was reportedly on the third floor and away from
the main aisle. This employee says several people had smelled
a foul odor but passed it off as faulty play.
They say, while most Wells Fargo employees at this Tempey
location work remote, the building has twenty four to seven
security and someone should have found Prudom sooner. The incident
left several employees feeling scared and uneasy. This employee wants
(20:15):
to see new safety protocols in place, telling me quote
its negligence in some part. A different worker also spoke
with twelve News anonymously was just uncomfortable again, calling on
the company to do more. Botty was there about four
days before anybody found it. Before anybody walked up to
her just to say hi, make sure she's okay. She
(20:38):
was just laying on her desk. A Wells Fargo spokesperson
previously sent twelve News a statement saying, in part, we
are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague
and our Tempe office, adding counselors through our employee assistance
consulting service are available to support employees. An employee tells
me their direct management offered those services, addressed the incident
(21:00):
and told workers the building was thoroughly cleaned.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Why did she keep calling the woman Prudin? Does she
not know about Paul Prudon? Who doesn't you know about
Paul Prudon? Of course you do. Yeah, K Paul's restaurant,
celebrity chef. Yes, every Kuon ass knows who Paul Prudon was.
I mean, K Paul's restaurant absolutely legendary. Uh oh, sounds
(21:27):
like somebody's got a case of the Munder's. Are you
talking about the woman in Arizona? The woman was laying
there dead for four days. She did not have a
case of the Monday's. She's dead now. I do know
a lot of people who hate their job and, according
to what they say, wish they were dead. You can
(21:49):
say what you want about Denise, but she followed through.
She willed herself to die. But here's the question that
I'll bet her bosses were wondering how much work could
she have done if she was dead at her desk
for three full days before they found her.
Speaker 12 (22:04):
I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I
use the side door. That way lumberd can't see me.
And after that I just sort of space out for
about an hour. Tell me.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Space out.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks
like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour
after a launch two. I'd say in a given week,
I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real actual work.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I've known some people like that. Andrew, you're on the
Michael Berry Show. Tell us your story about a person
preferably who died and wasn't known about for some period
of time.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
It was, first of all, thank you, mister Barry and
take your affiliates for being on the air in West Texas.
I love it. Worked for a natural gas company and
this was in Kansas at the time. Had a co
worker pull out in the middle of the night. Mechanic
(23:12):
called out for a unit that was down, and he
goes out and finds some valves on a compressor that
we're out and failed to blow down the compressor, which
means discharge all the gas that's inside of the compressor.
And while he's changing valves, pulls the valve cap off
(23:33):
and it's under pressure, and so that valve cap comes
off knocks him in the head. He failed to respond
to a gas control call and failed again, made his
way to a little shock that we had out there
and made a phone call. But about four or five
(23:58):
hours later, somebody else responded to that call because the
compressor wasn't on yet and found him deceized him the shock.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
You know, the thing about that we've all done something dumb, right,
We go to hammer something that we shouldn't have hammered it,
it pings off air and busts us in the head,
or we forgot to close the door behind us, and
then something bad happens, and the kind of thing your
(24:31):
dad always told you. You know, you screw around with that,
you get killed, get your arm cut off. But to
actually die from something dumb you do just feels. And
I know that there's a bunch of guys at work
in a technical capacity saying right now, oh I deserve it,
(24:52):
dumb ass, because that is the code, right if you
work in an environment where I mean, look what we
if we mess up on something, I come back and
go I goofed and it's fixed. If you work on
(25:14):
a natural gas line, you work around heavy equipment. A
mistake can mean death. So it is there is no
you know, touchy feeling the way I talk about it.
There's no understanding that you feel bad about somebody. No, no, no,
it's survival of the fittest. You don't do that, you'll
(25:34):
get us all killed. And what a different way to
go about your life. I read a number the other
day of saying, you know, the extreme Feminazis don't complain
about the fact that ninety eight percent of garbage men
are are men and all these jobs that women don't want.
(25:55):
But you know, even us men hold our manhood, chief,
We're not going to get killed.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Doing them, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Julie Wrights. I used to work at Sambuca restaurant downtown
in the Rice Hotel. A lady was at the bar
with her friends and stepped away to the restroom. Forty
five minutes go by, and her friends got worried because
she hadn't returned. Turns out she had a heart attack
on the toilet and died. My boyfriend at the time
(26:26):
had to pull her off the toilet. Also, a female
serial killer called the Stiletto Killer was a regular at
the bar.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
There.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
These were happening at Sambuca Ramon. You don't remember how
big a Sambuca was? Did we do? Andrew already? All right?
Brian Europe, Sir.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
Patty Michael had a little small company here in Cyprus
with a couple dozen employees. Had a salesman travel I
had traveling salesman all across Texas and Louisiana. Had one
out of Dallas that never woke up one morning in
San Angelo and we had to get the hotel to
do a room check to finding. But we did put
(27:06):
a protocol in place because the last thing I wanted.
He was a forty year old guy with four kids
under ten, and the last thing I wanted was for
his wife to find out via a call from the
Sant Angelo Police Department. And we had her contact information,
but what I just wasn't going to make that a
phone call. And so I was seconds away from jumping
(27:28):
in the car and making a blazing trip to Dallas.
And we actually found that she was at their church,
and we talked to the pastor and he delivered the
protocol we put in place. It was, oh absolutely, But
the protocol we put in place was we need your
spouse's information. All that we also wanted a neighbor or
(27:50):
an uncle or somebody means we were out of town
that could deliver news like that. And it was weird
to ask, you know, people for that, But once they
got it, and particularly after that situation, everybody's willing to
do it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
You know, it's weird to fill out information or provide
information or prepare for your death when you're seemingly healthy.
It feels weird, maybe dramatic, awkward. People don't like it,
but it's a thing you have to do. When I
(28:25):
decided that this would be the year that I was
going to make sure everything was planned and prepared in
my life, and that I would share that with listeners
maybe it would help a few folks. One of the
things I talked about was getting in a state planning lawyer,
and we ended up, after interviewing a lot of folks,
with a woman named Christine Weaver. And I have been
(28:48):
amazed how many people have emailed me, not just listeners
that I expected, but how many of my friends said, Michael,
I don't have a state plan and some of these
people are seventy plus and they didn't have any documents.
And now it was going to go to the government
to take as much as they could and the family
(29:10):
to fight over it. And the situation I see that
ends up being the biggest problem is if siblings don't
get along, that's a big one, and you die. What's
called intestate, which means without a will. A person dies
in testate, they have children from an earlier marriage. They've
married a younger woman. She is at odds with the
(29:34):
kids from the earlier marriage. Maybe the kids from the
earlier marriage are involved in the family's business, you know,
running the business. It gets really ugly and it's hard
to sit down and make a decision and say, all right,
when I die, this is what goes to these people.
But it's better that you make that decision than someone else.
(29:57):
Javier writes Opening Day. He's a former professional baseball player
and coach.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
I know him.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Opening Day nineteen ninety six, Cincinnati Reds hosting the Montreal
Expert Expos.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Zara.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I was playing for the Reds in ninety six. It
was Opening Day, a beautiful day game in the traditional
beginning of the baseball season. Big John McSherry, the crew chief,
was umping behind the plate. He called several pitches to
the leadoff hitter, turned around and walked toward the door
behind home plate and collapsed on the warning track. He
died from a massive heart attack on the field. He
(30:31):
went to the clubhouse and thirty to forty five minutes later,
the other umpires, along with the Expos, came in and
told us Big John had passed. Obviously, the umpires had
been crying and were shaken up. They had talked to
the Reds owner Marge Shott and the National League president
Leonard Coleman, and told us that we were going to
continue the game. Our team captain Barry Larkin, and the
(30:52):
Expos David Saki and Moises Alou told him, hell, no,
we're not playing today. We'll take the forfeit. They can
take the forfeit. Out of respect for Big John, we
ain't playing, so they postponed the game to the next day.
Umpire Jerry Crawford and the rest of the crew broke
down and conveyed their gratitude. As much as we bitch
about the umpires, the opposing teams, the staff were all
(31:14):
one big family. Jeremy, you're up, go ahead, sir.
Speaker 13 (31:21):
Graphic content warning. My wife was a property manager for
many years and there was a resident that a friend
had requested a wellness check on that they hadn't heard
from in a while.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
A little over two weeks.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
And they went with the police and the sheriff and
opened the door of the apartment and the lady was
lying there in the living room dead and had been
there for over two weeks, and had already swolled up
and exploded and wallpaper the living area. And the poor
cat that was there was so.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Hungry, was eating her feet. Tammy writes, I grew up
in the Texas Panhandle, Amarillo. To be exact, I think
there was a der Wiener Snitzel on every corner. I
can remember when you could purchase four chili cheese dogs,
two medium bags of fries, two medium pepsi for four
ninety nine. Yeah that was nineteen eighty seven, but I
(32:09):
don't remember those commercials that you played at all. Also,
when I go home to visit my mom, that's one
of the must haves. Not sure if you know there's
actually a der Winder Stencil north of Kingwood, And yes,
I've driven over there for a chili cheese and a
Polish sandwich. There's still one on MacArthur Drive in orange
(32:29):
and it sits proudly where it has since probably before
I was born, or somewhere around that time. Let me
say before we close the show this weekend, I noticed
some different people with major platforms, and it doesn't matter
who they are, so I'm not getting into it arguing
(32:52):
over whether Churchill was a villain and whether Churchill was
the reason that World War two expanded to the extent
that it did, when Hitler could have been kept from
going to war if Churchill hadn't wanted to expand the war,
but Churchill wanted to keep. My point is it has
(33:15):
caused a riff and a lot of infighting, and now
precious time is being spent by each of these camps
tearing down the other camp, and Kamala Harris couldn't be happier.
I don't care what your disagreement is with other people
who want to defeat Kamala Harris. This is like Kevin
(33:38):
gilbrid and Buddy Ryan down on the field fighting in
the middle of the game when your coach is for
the same team. I don't know how else to say this.
If we don't win this election, sorry, I'm not crying.
I throws it will be the end of this country
(33:59):
as you know it. It will be misery for us,
but far worse for our kids. Stop fighting with each other,
focus on winning this election. Put your pridecide into everything
you can to help every Republican win
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. The woman
(00:36):
dying at the Wells Fargo and not being discovered for
approximately four days has left everybody feeling weird. But it
really is perhaps one of the better examples of how
disconnected we have become. I don't think we need to
(00:57):
be in a commune where we're holding hand and singing kumbayah.
But technology has allowed people to replace the human connection
with something that gives them. It gives them a serotonin
(01:17):
that is released. It gives them a connection to something.
That thing that gives there's a give and take. They
don't feel so lonely anymore. They can find a community
of like minded weirdos, perverts, nerds, geeks, radio people, TV people,
technology people, sex people, travel people, engineering people, whatever it is.
(01:44):
They can find communities of people that they may never
meet in person. I see it in young people. Michael
being two years older than Crockett, or two grade levels
ahead of Crockett. Michael's grade level always gathered together. They
wanted a car at sixteen, who wanted to be able
(02:05):
to get together the way we did. Crockets grade two
years later don't gather at all and don't care to.
Now they communicate perhaps more often, but they don't do
it in person, and it's across the grade. It's a
really interesting phenomenon how that works. But back to the
(02:28):
lady who was at the Wells Fargo for four years,
for four days and the people working there not noticing.
It was so bad that the body had begun smelling
after four days and they thought maybe there was a
plumbing problem, And then they said, we need protocols. How
(02:53):
would you have a protocol? You just don't notice other
people that work there and if they're dead. Sad part
is she must not have had anybody at home either,
how lonely she had to be. But it got me
to thinking about crazy things had happened in a workplace.
(03:17):
We may or may not get a response to this,
but if anyone ever died at your workplace, yeah, I'm
going never moment. I want you to call and tell
the story. Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. Eddie Martinez
told me the story. He was in high school years
(03:40):
was years ago. He told me this and many years
ago that it happened to him. Because he's sixty. He
had a coach who passed and I guess he was
having a heart attack while they were in gym class
or whatever, and they went to get the guy and
(04:02):
get in. I guess they put him on a gurney
and they're taking him out, and as his body released,
he pooped. And we talked about the fact that that
is apparently a very common you know, I guess you're
kind of always a little bit clenched, Ramo. I don't
know if you knew that. And when you die, your
(04:22):
body releases in boop, there it goes you void. As
the doctor say, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
seven one three nine nine one thousand, let's start with Steve.
We haven't gotten to those calls yet. Actually hold off
on that. Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.
Today is National Wiener Schnitzel Day, National Wiener Schnitzel Day,
(04:50):
and that got me thinking about one of my favorite
fast food restaurants of all time. They're Der Wiener Snitzel
from nineteen seventy six and now.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Watch closely a corner by Corny. Oh well, that's what
I call my disappearing corn dog trick.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Just race you.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Actually here there. Ramon was not fortunate enough to grow
up with the Derweener Schnitzel in his town, but it
was all the rage in Orange. We found this one
from nineteen seventy. Oh, that one was. Yeah, this one, well,
I can't remember which one. He said had a creep factor.
(05:37):
Maybe that's this one.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You're looking for him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Please to eat with pencil family. Some sir burgers, some
serve hot dogs.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
No one can a creek see now wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
We're rounds together now with hamburgers and hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No morning to.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Look around, hamburgers in the huge now together now.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And so that one has a little more uplifting kind
of Soviet German. We're all happy here, aren't we. The
other one does have a touch of a creep factor.
I didn't realize that. You're absolutely right, it does, all right.
So the phone calls, we go about death at your workplace.
(06:28):
Let's start with Carla, Carla, you're up, go ahead, dear.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Hey, Hi, Michael, him, Michael, it was not my workplace.
Many years ago, we were on a cruise and my
husband was an older cruise We were on Holland America
and we were younger, he made friends with an older gentleman,
and they hung out a lot, and they this and
that and the other. We didn't see him forever. The
man after that, we couldn't find him and didn't see him. Well,
(06:53):
we found out that he had been by the pool,
and he was laying by the pool. They lay there,
I don't know how long, a couple of days, and
they finally figured out he had died by the pool.
Nobody noticed it. They put it, finally put it, took
a mirror, put it under his nose, and saw that
it was not giving, you know, signs of breathing. And
(07:18):
he died right there in the chair by the pool
on the Hall of America.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Crew, did you did you see him? Did you see
the dead body?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I did not. I did not.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, we're all I was going to say, is there
are worse places to go, worse ways to go.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You absolutely there are. But it was still, you know,
he's I think he stayed there, who knows how long,
because he liked it up there. He likes seeing the horizon.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
They just didn't know this.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well. I mean, I can't help but think I wish
we all. You know, so many times a person is
gasping for their last breath for some period of time,
and finally they get some relief. You know what I had.
I had an extended relative not uh and and I
(08:11):
heard what they referred to as the death rattle. And
I'll never forget that sound for the for the rest
of my life. And I you know, it's a tough
it's a tough conversation to have. But boy, to watch
somebody suffer and gasp for air and wheeze and you know,
be uncommunicative but in extreme pain, it's it's difficult. And
(08:32):
then here's this guy. He's out at the pool, you know,
laid out like Joe Biden, probably having a blast. Carla,
did you call in once before about damn Pastorini?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh, damn Pastorini. I loan hit money one time.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I when you called in on the screen, it popped
up as Carla Pastorini, and I thought, your god, Pastorini
didn't die her workplace.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Did he?
Speaker 6 (08:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yours coming up? What's the name you say?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Michael Beddy.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
On this day in nineteen forty two, A brilliant choice,
by the way, a Japanese floatplane dropped an incendiary bomb,
actually multiple bombs on Oregon State Forest. The first air
attack on the US mainland in the war. Launching from
the Japanese sub I twenty five, Nobuo Fujita piloted his
(09:26):
piloted his light aircraft over the state of Oregon and
firebombed Mount emily A, lighting a state forest. The president.
The president immediately called for a news blackout for the
sake of morale. No long term damage was done, and
Fujita eventually went home to train navy pilots for the
rest of the war. How about that, there you go,
(09:53):
And Chad said, on that note, here's the newspaper clippings
about my grandfather Komichi Nakanishi I was telling you about.
Below is the note in the newspaper from my great
great grandma about my grandpa joining the army during World
War Two. My grandpa and his three brothers were all
in the military during World War Two. One of his brothers,
Toshio or left, was pretty renowned, rising to the rank
(10:17):
of lieutenant colonel. And then there's the article in the newspaper.
We say thank you in behalf of my son Komichi.
I wish to take this means of extending my sincere
thanks and appreciation to the many friends for the many
gifts and congratulatory messages extended him prior to his induction
into the United States Army. I am indeed proud to
(10:38):
have him serve in the United States Army and am
confident that he will bring home to the He will
bring sorry, he will bring honor to the uniform he
wears signed Missus Fujiko Nakanishi Hanomu, Hawaii. And then there's
a picture of him and he's looking very smart, man,
(10:59):
I say, in his uniform, getting ready to go off tour.
All right, your stories we did Carlo. Let's go to Joe.
Your stories of death at the office or somewhere else weird,
Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Yes, sir Michael, Hey, yeah, I was at work man.
It was a mechanic at one time and used to
do yard checks for a truck and company, and you
know we do yard check every day. Well, finally we
get a call and asked if this certain vehicle was
on the yard, and so went out there and checked
and we showed it on the paper and we said
yes here. So when we went out there to go
(11:35):
see because they couldn't find the driver, the driver was
in his truck windows rolled up locked and like stuck
to it, you know, just in the driver's seat, hands
on the steerwheel just slumped over. So we were banging
on the window and like no movement. So went back
to the dispatch office and told him there's a guy
in there, but he ain't moving, and so they ended
(11:57):
up calling the police and the uh, the the you know,
they came out, and then they had medics come out,
and sure enough, the guy had passed apparently on the
yard check. The vehicle was there for like five days
and so like nobody knew we was out doing the
yard check, but we just write numbers down and never
(12:18):
real you know, we don't really pay attention to the
people in the vehicles at the time. Right now, this
was back you know, probably ten fifteen years ago, but
you know, but yeah, it was kind of weird, you know.
And we also had a guy that was driving the
truck up fifty nine. He was an older guy, and
he ended up having a heart attack at the wheel
and drove off on fifty nine going north and went
into the woods and you know, he passed. You know,
(12:42):
I guess he's hard just gave out on him while
he was driving.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Weird.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I lived very close to a family called the black
Shars and Joe Blacksher or black Sheer, however you want
to pronounce it. There was a split of opinion. Was
a couple of years older than me, and he was
raised by his grandparents. I don't know what had happened
with his parents, but his grandparents were driving in the grandfather,
(13:13):
who was like his dad he raised him, had a
heart attack, veered off side of the road, crashed and
killed both of them, leaving him without parents. And then
Assim Bensali, who I went to law school with. His
parents were in India visiting their family there. They were
from India and Asim was an only child, and he
(13:33):
got the call that his parents had died in a
fatal crash in India, and that meant he had no
family left. He had nothing other than extended family in India.
He had no family left. As Sim started law school.
He's a brilliant, brilliant guy. He started law school. He
(13:54):
started college at Berkeley at sixteen on a full scholarship.
He graduated in two and a half years. So he
came to law school before his nineteenth birthday. That's crazy.
Let's go to Corey. Corey, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
What's your story?
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Well, I actually have a couple. My boss, he was
from the older generation.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
He's a rough and tumble guy.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
He was the kind of guy that got up before
in the morning, read the paper and was at the
office of six and then better than you by said
where the hell you were at? But he was like
that for a long long time. And then I noticed
I didn't get any calls that morning, and no one
else did. And it turned out he had got out
of the office early and he had had a heart
(14:45):
attack at his desk, and he wasn't He was pretty
much gone. I mean, they kind of resuscitated him, but
he never came back to life. He was basically bringing them.
I took him to the hospital. Then I was in
Iraq in two thousand and four and the Iron had
infiltrated some bad guys that infiltrated the I n G.
And they snuck in a peka tig gallon drum of
(15:07):
ball bearings into the chaw hal and blew that up
and he killed my supply sergeant and my pl That
was a bad day at the office.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, I would think that would be where were you
when it went off?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
I was outside the chow, and.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
What happened.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Just by sheer luck you weren't inside.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
It was by total luck. I mean, there was a
couple of things that happened that on that tour that
was by total luck.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I missed.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
I just I had to go on a mission. I
was supposed to go on a mission as an air
guard gunner on one of the medic trucks on the Strikers,
and then for some reason, my commanders needed me to
stay back that day this side of the blue, and
he say, man, I just need to stay back today,
and I was like, okay. So somebody else.
Speaker 10 (16:05):
Was subded in my position and that truck got.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
Hit and the guy survived, but he had some pretty
mean looking scars. Afterwards we saw him we got back
to Port Lewis.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Wow, there is something reading emails or something about someone
dying and not being discovered immediately that bothers people. I'm
noticing that theme. You know, we've all known the people die,
but it's when the body is there for some period
of time that people get really bothered by it. Dennis,
(16:34):
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Go ahead, sir, oh Okay, Michael, I was driving forkliff
for a trucking company. We were all assigned individual trailers
to break down, which means take the freight off of
them and point it to wherever it says to go to.
And we had a fair to go into his trailer,
and apparently well his fork eat he had reason to
(17:00):
stick his head through the mask of the forklift while
the forks were up, despite all training saying never ever
do that.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Anyhow, when he did, he leaned on the down lever
and that came down on his head and took about
an hour or so for people, you know, for anybody
to find him, you know, because we all had our
own trailers and and it was it was ugly. We
(17:32):
We had a cop working on the docks at the
time as a part time job, and as soon as
he heard there was a problem in that door, he
bolted up to that door. He went in and told everybody,
you don't want to go in there.
Speaker 11 (17:48):
It nearly took his head off. And then he worked
for his father, was the dock supervisor.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
On the next ship, and that was how his father
found out he had.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Gotten very brigade activate the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and PETA have been strangely silent on the Haitians stealing
people's cats and eating them, as well as ducks and
other household pets that various people have. I wonder if
(18:55):
they don't have an opinion about that. The story out
of Arizona. But woman who died and is presumed to
have sat at her desk slooped stooped over her desk
dead for almost four days.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
A Wells Fargo employee went to work the morning of Friday,
August sixteenth and never went home. Tempe police till twelve
News sixty year old Denise Prudham scanned into work at
seven o'clock in the morning. Four days later, police responded
to the office building near Washington Street and Priest Drive
for reports of a subject down. Prudem was declared dead.
(19:30):
The Tempe Police Criminal Investigation Bureau is investigating, but do
not suspect foul play. A Wells Fargo employee exclusively spoke
with twelve News but asked not to be recorded or
identified out of fear for their job. They say a
colleague found Prudam dead at her desk in a cubicle
while walking around the building on Tuesday, August twentieth. Prudom's
(19:50):
cubicle was reportedly on the third floor and away from
the main aisle. This employee says several people had smelled
a foul odor but passed it off as faulty play.
They say, while most Wells Fargo employees at this Tempey
location work remote, the building has twenty four to seven
security and someone should have found Prudom sooner. The incident
left several employees feeling scared and uneasy. This employee wants
(20:15):
to see new safety protocols in place, telling me quote
its negligence in some part. A different worker also spoke
with twelve News anonymously was just uncomfortable again, calling on
the company to do more. Botty was there about four
days before anybody found it. Before anybody walked up to
her just to say hi, make sure she's okay. She
(20:38):
was just laying on her desk. A Wells Fargo spokesperson
previously sent twelve News a statement saying, in part, we
are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague
and our Tempe office, adding counselors through our employee assistance
consulting service are available to support employees. An employee tells
me their direct management offered those services, addressed the incident
(21:00):
and told workers the building was thoroughly cleaned.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Why did she keep calling the woman Prudin? Does she
not know about Paul Prudon? Who doesn't you know about
Paul Prudon? Of course you do. Yeah, K Paul's restaurant,
celebrity chef. Yes, every Kuon ass knows who Paul Prudon was.
I mean, K Paul's restaurant absolutely legendary. Uh oh, sounds
(21:27):
like somebody's got a case of the Munder's. Are you
talking about the woman in Arizona? The woman was laying
there dead for four days. She did not have a
case of the Monday's. She's dead now. I do know
a lot of people who hate their job and, according
to what they say, wish they were dead. You can
(21:49):
say what you want about Denise, but she followed through.
She willed herself to die. But here's the question that
I'll bet her bosses were wondering how much work could
she have done if she was dead at her desk
for three full days before they found her.
Speaker 12 (22:04):
I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I
use the side door. That way lumberd can't see me.
And after that I just sort of space out for
about an hour. Tell me.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Space out.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks
like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour
after a launch two. I'd say in a given week,
I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real actual work.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I've known some people like that. Andrew, you're on the
Michael Berry Show. Tell us your story about a person
preferably who died and wasn't known about for some period
of time.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
It was, first of all, thank you, mister Barry and
take your affiliates for being on the air in West Texas.
I love it. Worked for a natural gas company and
this was in Kansas at the time. Had a co
worker pull out in the middle of the night. Mechanic
(23:12):
called out for a unit that was down, and he
goes out and finds some valves on a compressor that
we're out and failed to blow down the compressor, which
means discharge all the gas that's inside of the compressor.
And while he's changing valves, pulls the valve cap off
(23:33):
and it's under pressure, and so that valve cap comes
off knocks him in the head. He failed to respond
to a gas control call and failed again, made his
way to a little shock that we had out there
and made a phone call. But about four or five
(23:58):
hours later, somebody else responded to that call because the
compressor wasn't on yet and found him deceized him the shock.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
You know, the thing about that we've all done something dumb, right,
We go to hammer something that we shouldn't have hammered it,
it pings off air and busts us in the head,
or we forgot to close the door behind us, and
then something bad happens, and the kind of thing your
(24:31):
dad always told you. You know, you screw around with that,
you get killed, get your arm cut off. But to
actually die from something dumb you do just feels. And
I know that there's a bunch of guys at work
in a technical capacity saying right now, oh I deserve it,
(24:52):
dumb ass, because that is the code, right if you
work in an environment where I mean, look what we
if we mess up on something, I come back and
go I goofed and it's fixed. If you work on
(25:14):
a natural gas line, you work around heavy equipment. A
mistake can mean death. So it is there is no
you know, touchy feeling the way I talk about it.
There's no understanding that you feel bad about somebody. No, no, no,
it's survival of the fittest. You don't do that, you'll
(25:34):
get us all killed. And what a different way to
go about your life. I read a number the other
day of saying, you know, the extreme Feminazis don't complain
about the fact that ninety eight percent of garbage men
are are men and all these jobs that women don't want.
(25:55):
But you know, even us men hold our manhood, chief,
We're not going to get killed.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Doing them, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Julie Wrights. I used to work at Sambuca restaurant downtown
in the Rice Hotel. A lady was at the bar
with her friends and stepped away to the restroom. Forty
five minutes go by, and her friends got worried because
she hadn't returned. Turns out she had a heart attack
on the toilet and died. My boyfriend at the time
(26:26):
had to pull her off the toilet. Also, a female
serial killer called the Stiletto Killer was a regular at
the bar.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
There.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
These were happening at Sambuca Ramon. You don't remember how
big a Sambuca was? Did we do? Andrew already? All right?
Brian Europe, Sir.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
Patty Michael had a little small company here in Cyprus
with a couple dozen employees. Had a salesman travel I
had traveling salesman all across Texas and Louisiana. Had one
out of Dallas that never woke up one morning in
San Angelo and we had to get the hotel to
do a room check to finding. But we did put
(27:06):
a protocol in place because the last thing I wanted.
He was a forty year old guy with four kids
under ten, and the last thing I wanted was for
his wife to find out via a call from the
Sant Angelo Police Department. And we had her contact information,
but what I just wasn't going to make that a
phone call. And so I was seconds away from jumping
(27:28):
in the car and making a blazing trip to Dallas.
And we actually found that she was at their church,
and we talked to the pastor and he delivered the
protocol we put in place. It was, oh absolutely, But
the protocol we put in place was we need your
spouse's information. All that we also wanted a neighbor or
(27:50):
an uncle or somebody means we were out of town
that could deliver news like that. And it was weird
to ask, you know, people for that, But once they
got it, and particularly after that situation, everybody's willing to
do it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
You know, it's weird to fill out information or provide
information or prepare for your death when you're seemingly healthy.
It feels weird, maybe dramatic, awkward. People don't like it,
but it's a thing you have to do. When I
(28:25):
decided that this would be the year that I was
going to make sure everything was planned and prepared in
my life, and that I would share that with listeners
maybe it would help a few folks. One of the
things I talked about was getting in a state planning lawyer,
and we ended up, after interviewing a lot of folks,
with a woman named Christine Weaver. And I have been
(28:48):
amazed how many people have emailed me, not just listeners
that I expected, but how many of my friends said, Michael,
I don't have a state plan and some of these
people are seventy plus and they didn't have any documents.
And now it was going to go to the government
to take as much as they could and the family
(29:10):
to fight over it. And the situation I see that
ends up being the biggest problem is if siblings don't
get along, that's a big one, and you die. What's
called intestate, which means without a will. A person dies
in testate, they have children from an earlier marriage. They've
married a younger woman. She is at odds with the
(29:34):
kids from the earlier marriage. Maybe the kids from the
earlier marriage are involved in the family's business, you know,
running the business. It gets really ugly and it's hard
to sit down and make a decision and say, all right,
when I die, this is what goes to these people.
But it's better that you make that decision than someone else.
(29:57):
Javier writes Opening Day. He's a former professional baseball player
and coach.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
I know him.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Opening Day nineteen ninety six, Cincinnati Reds hosting the Montreal
Expert Expos.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Zara.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I was playing for the Reds in ninety six. It
was Opening Day, a beautiful day game in the traditional
beginning of the baseball season. Big John McSherry, the crew chief,
was umping behind the plate. He called several pitches to
the leadoff hitter, turned around and walked toward the door
behind home plate and collapsed on the warning track. He
died from a massive heart attack on the field. He
(30:31):
went to the clubhouse and thirty to forty five minutes later,
the other umpires, along with the Expos, came in and
told us Big John had passed. Obviously, the umpires had
been crying and were shaken up. They had talked to
the Reds owner Marge Shott and the National League president
Leonard Coleman, and told us that we were going to
continue the game. Our team captain Barry Larkin, and the
(30:52):
Expos David Saki and Moises Alou told him, hell, no,
we're not playing today. We'll take the forfeit. They can
take the forfeit. Out of respect for Big John, we
ain't playing, so they postponed the game to the next day.
Umpire Jerry Crawford and the rest of the crew broke
down and conveyed their gratitude. As much as we bitch
about the umpires, the opposing teams, the staff were all
(31:14):
one big family. Jeremy, you're up, go ahead, sir.
Speaker 13 (31:21):
Graphic content warning. My wife was a property manager for
many years and there was a resident that a friend
had requested a wellness check on that they hadn't heard
from in a while.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
A little over two weeks.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
And they went with the police and the sheriff and
opened the door of the apartment and the lady was
lying there in the living room dead and had been
there for over two weeks, and had already swolled up
and exploded and wallpaper the living area. And the poor
cat that was there was so.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Hungry, was eating her feet. Tammy writes, I grew up
in the Texas Panhandle, Amarillo. To be exact, I think
there was a der Wiener Snitzel on every corner. I
can remember when you could purchase four chili cheese dogs,
two medium bags of fries, two medium pepsi for four
ninety nine. Yeah that was nineteen eighty seven, but I
(32:09):
don't remember those commercials that you played at all. Also,
when I go home to visit my mom, that's one
of the must haves. Not sure if you know there's
actually a der Winder Stencil north of Kingwood, And yes,
I've driven over there for a chili cheese and a
Polish sandwich. There's still one on MacArthur Drive in orange
(32:29):
and it sits proudly where it has since probably before
I was born, or somewhere around that time. Let me
say before we close the show this weekend, I noticed
some different people with major platforms, and it doesn't matter
who they are, so I'm not getting into it arguing
(32:52):
over whether Churchill was a villain and whether Churchill was
the reason that World War two expanded to the extent
that it did, when Hitler could have been kept from
going to war if Churchill hadn't wanted to expand the war,
but Churchill wanted to keep. My point is it has
(33:15):
caused a riff and a lot of infighting, and now
precious time is being spent by each of these camps
tearing down the other camp, and Kamala Harris couldn't be happier.
I don't care what your disagreement is with other people
who want to defeat Kamala Harris. This is like Kevin
(33:38):
gilbrid and Buddy Ryan down on the field fighting in
the middle of the game when your coach is for
the same team. I don't know how else to say this.
If we don't win this election, sorry, I'm not crying.
I throws it will be the end of this country
(33:59):
as you know it. It will be misery for us,
but far worse for our kids. Stop fighting with each other,
focus on winning this election. Put your pridecide into everything
you can to help every Republican win
