Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's that time time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Michael Verie Show is on the air. We're talking to
Mark Starling, who is the program director.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
That means he runs a program director is the person
who decides who goes on the air. And it's a
news talk station there in Asheville, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's called ww NC.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You know, Mark, five ten years from now, you will
be at a music festival that one of your other
stations is hosting, or you'll be at some public event,
or you'll be.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Emcing a political debate.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You'll be doing something where someone knows who you are
and they'll say, there's Mark Sterling with WWNC. And someone
will walk up and tell a story and they will
tell us about cowering in their house as the waters
rose and scared to death, and your voice was the
(01:08):
only thing. And you know when it's all gone, when
the electricity's gone and the web is gone, and all
the things that we cling to are gone, and the
disaster is in full swing and Mother Nature's wrath is
upon us. And to know that they've got that little
handheld radio. They forgot they had that AM radio and
(01:28):
they got that to their ear and they're huddled around
like a fireside speech in nineteen thirty two, and to
know that you were what was keeping them saying because
you were finding in the pit of your gut in
a place you did not recess, you didn't know existed,
a positivity that you didn't even believe that got them through.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Ooh boy, that's going to hit you. That's going to
hit you hard.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That is going to make you realize why, as you said,
this is why you are where you are where you
are so supposed to be in the right place at
the right time. And wow, did you guys ever rise
to the occasion. I hope you will give all of
your team a group hug for me. We're going to
(02:13):
send you all some can y'all receive packages to the
station now?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes? Yeah, mail service is As a matter of fact,
the day of the storm, I got a call from
a mail guy that said, they want us to deliver
the mail.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Those guys are heroes.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Those guys are heroes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We ww NC delivers as well.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
You do.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You said you were on your way when we reached
out to you. Funny story, small small world tank Spencer
who we first talked to at your station. First thing,
he asked me, was do you still work with Ramon
Robless And I said, oh, my goodness, he's listening in
right now, is Ramone. And this is going to blow
up his massive ego for him to hear his name
(02:59):
mentioned in North Carolina, where we're not currently on. And
he said, oh, I know, Ramon. We're in a fantasy
football league together. And Keith Mollenax, who was Pat Ray's producer,
and Ramone told me I didn't know this. Ramone was
the program director for Keith when Pat Gray was in Houston,
and when Keith went to Nebraska. I guess Ramone rode
(03:22):
with him to help him relocate his apartment. So you know,
it's one of those good deeds you do and you
never think about, and here, fifteen years later it comes back.
I feel like we're sending out a very positive vibe
into the universe from this conversation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Mark. I'm also a very devout Christian.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I believe that God's hand has been on you and
this station and this state and your people. I think
a lot of character has been revealed through all of this.
I know that you had people waiting for you that
were trying to get to the station to you and
that they have made a lot of sacrifices so that
you could you could do what you've done, and I
(04:02):
won't hold you any longer so that you can go
to be with them, Brandy and everyone you love. But
please thank them for the rest of us for sharing
you with the rest of us.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
As soon as soon as I can get them back
to western North Carolina, I will absolutely do that. They
are currently with my brother and his wife in Atlanta.
They rode the storm out in a gas station parking
lot for about seven hours. We lost touch for we
lost thatch for roughly thirty six to forty eight hours.
And as Tank Spencer and I were on the air
(04:38):
on Sunday, he was putting the callers names up on
the computer screen so I could see them. And I
looked over at the screen and I saw my wife's name,
and she's the only Brandy I know. This deils her
name with two e's at the end.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I looked at it and I said, I said, are
you Is this what I think it is? And he
said yes, And that was the first time I'd heard
her voice. And once the waterworks stopped, I asked her
how she was and she was just leaving a town
meeting at Black Mountain, and she proceeded to peel into
a TV news style report that was better than any
(05:14):
national reporter I have ever seen do the job. And
she's a mental health counselor. I still haven't seen her
since this. I haven't seen her since the or the
Wednesday night before the storm. I'm hoping that they get
home sometime maybe this weekend, if not sometime into next week.
We've we did incur some damage at our home and
(05:36):
I'm trying to get that mitigated and get that taken
care of before before they come back, so that they
can come back to a home that is safe and
that is comfortable. And that is that is that is theirs.
You know it.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
We just got married back in April. My son Eli,
who's my stepson, but he's my son. I claim him
of mine. And she wrote it out, she wrote that
storm out with our son. We have two eighty five
pound golden doodles, one hundred pound redbone coonhound, and a
six pound Shihuahua and they were all crammed in a
four runner together. And I don't know how she did it, man,
(06:14):
but she is the toughest toughest little cookie I know.
And I've never been more blessed to realize that I
can call her my wife, and I just can't wait
to see her.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Just promise me that when you took a knee and
took her hand, you said, Brandy, you're a fine girl.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What a good wife you would be?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh, you know, we played that song every morning during
the morning show since this broadcast has kind of started,
because Brandy is now calling in every morning as and
offering her free mental health counseling services to anybody that's listening.
They can email her they and she will counsel them
for free for as long as they need. But this
(06:54):
was her way. She feels so disconnected from the community
because she's in Atlanta and she's she's saved and comfortable,
and that is fantastic, but she just wanted to be
able to do something, and so she has offered her
counseling services, uh to all of the folks of western
North Carolina to reach out and if they, you know,
if they they feel like they need to talk to somebody,
she's there for them.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm telling you, Michael, we've got a new version.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
We're gone.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
We're going to put The Michael Berry Show singers on
this and the new version is going to be with
with with apologies to looking Glass, It's going to be Brandy.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You're a fine girl. What a good wife. You could
be my time, I rob it is my job. I
gotta be at w w n C.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Okay, it's a little long, Okay, Marmone says. The lyrics
rare too long. Okay, it's too worthy. But we're gonna
We're gonna work on Mark. I know you got to
get well. Appreciate you. So proud of you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You have made all of us in radio so incredibly
proud you and Tank Spencer, the whole whole team w
w n C in Asheville.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
North Carolina the pride of the nation right now. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Thank you so much, Michael, and thank you for keeping
attention on Western North Carolina. It's an honor to talk
to you about or be on your show you about.
You have been a long time unknown mentor and I
really appreciate everything.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The worst president, the worst vice president.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
In the history of our christ, the Michael Berry. We
can't afford four more years of the cold.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
If you are new to the Michael Berry Show. Since
we have added a lot of listeners with our syndication deal,
then I feel like I have to kind of explain
a little bit of how we do the show, and
I will be doing that as we introduce ourselves to
you over the coming weeks and months.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I hope you'll hang around.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We are an acquired taste, partly because our show is
very different. And that's not to say that we're better
than another show, or that another show is not great.
Sean Hannity is a great show. Clay and Buck do
a great show. Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Jesse Kelly dear
friend of mine. I mean, I know all those guys,
(09:08):
but it's just to say our show is different, that's all.
And so if you're used to sort of the traditional
formatics of radio, we don't follow those, and.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sometimes that's a little odd for people.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
One of the things you're gonna notice and hopefully appreciate,
we love music, and music is a big part of
our show, and we play a lot of music that
you may not have been on where you are in
the country, that you may never have heard before, including
kind of some independent stuff like Snake Farm, which is
legendary in our Circle in Houston by a guy named
(09:47):
Ray Willy Hubbard. That is a song that he wrote
and sang about a snake farm.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You drive along the highway and it says snake farm,
pull in here, and you pull and you give them
your five bucks and you go in and you get
to hold.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
A bunch of snakes.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And the song is about a girl that he's in
love with who handles snakes while working at the snake form.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah. Yeah, it's very Texan. It's very cool, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
By the way, our show is loaded to the podcast,
which is free for you to listen to, so if
you ever miss a part of the show and you
become a loyal listener to the show, which we hope
you will, you can always go back and listen to
what you miss. And many of our folks do on
(10:38):
the podcast. Wherever you get your podcasts, whether that's iHeart, Spotify.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
There's a lot of them out there.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I'm not a technology guy, but people tell me they
listen on iTunes, all of them. And just to let
you know, we do everything on the podcast, and we
do bonus podcasts as well, which is like tonight, I've
got way more things to talk about then I have
time to talk about them, so we will post other content.
(11:06):
I just encourage you to go there. You can get
a link to all of that. You can email me
directly at Michael Berryshow dot com Michael Berryshow dot com.
All right, let's get back to it. So we told
you Ramon, this is going to be four o nine.
Yesterday during the day, Kamala Harris was asked, would you
(11:26):
do anything different than what Joe Biden has done?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Listen to this. If anything.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Which you have done something differently than President Biden during
the past four years.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
There has done a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
One more time, remone if anything which you have done
something differently than President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
On a thing that comes to mind in terms of
and I've been a part of most of the decisions
that have had impact.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Our service members killed in Afghanistan in a boxed withdrawal
because they pulled the cover out before they pulled our
folks out, so there was nothing to stop what happened.
Illegal immigration on a scale like we've never seen. Over
four hundred thousand convicted felons alone coming through.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's the ones that have already been convicted.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Death and destruction, inflation off the charts, devastating people's lives,
so many mistakes made, shutdowns, leading to suicides, all of
these things. And you can't play that more time. You
can't find anything you would do different.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
If anything, which you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So it's very important for her to tell you that,
you know, I'm really important.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm part of making these decisions. Okay, I don't think
I would.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Brag about that if I was you, but I guess
it's so important for you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
You wonder why she lies about having worked at McDonald's
when she didn't. You wonder why she makes up stories
of things that happened that didn't, claiming she walked with
Martin Luther King Junior, and all these things that she
makes up that are impossible based on the timeline. And
by the way, Tim Wats who claims he was at
(13:47):
Teneman Square and turns out he wasn't I miss Folk,
I'm another head, I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You're both liars, You're dishonest, dishonorable people. Period into story.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So then she's given a chance to come back later
and make up for that last night. Stephen Colbert, being
a good foot soldier, he's going to give her an
opportunity to say, all right, what would you do differently?
This is all coordinated, what would you do differently? Let's
fix what you said earlier.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters,
really want this to be a change election, and that
they tend to break for you. In terms of thinking
about change, you are a member of the president administration
under a Harris administration, What would the major changes be
and what would say the same?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Sure, well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and
so that would be one change erms. But also I
think it's important to say with you know, twenty eight
days ago, I'm not Donald Trump. And so when we
think about the significance of what this next generation of
(15:04):
leadership looks like were I to be elected president, it
is about Frankly, I love the American people, and I
believe in our country. I love that it is our
character and nature to be an ambitious people. You know,
we have aspirations, we have dreams, we have incredible work ethic,
(15:30):
and I just believe that we can create and build
upon the success we've achieved in a way that we
continue to grow opportunity and in that way grow the
strength of our nation. So, for example, my economic policies,
I think of it and I have named it as
creating an opportunity economy. So it's about things like investing
(15:51):
in small businesses. I love our small businesses.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Here is the painful reality that everybody has to understand.
She wouldn't do anything differ differently than Joe Biden did,
and neither would he, because they're not in charge. The
people in charge are doing exactly what they want to do.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
This isn't a glitch in the system, This is the design.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Michael Perry Jamala was born
that way. Say you have a job, applicants coming in
looking to work for you, and you read their resume
and they say, you say, tell me the most interesting
life experience you've had. I was at Teneman Square And
(16:35):
you say, wow, that's amazing. And you start digging and
you realize they weren't even born yet. You would immediately
start thinking to yourself, if you know anything about leadership,
the most important thing is the draft.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It's more important. It's Jimmy's and Joe's over x'es and oh.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
As they say in the football world, the number one
most important thing to win college football games is to
get the most talented boys on your team. Now, from there,
because two great recruiters up against each other. Now you're
going to find out who makes the best personnel decisions, who.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Game plans the best.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And then if you want to get to the top
two or three coaches every year and the top two
or three in history, real sports fans will tell you, you.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Want to know how good a guy is.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
You want to know the difference between a really good
coach and great Nick Saban level. What does he do
in the second half. Great coaches win games in the
second half that they're losing. Right, If you want great
(17:56):
people in your organization, you don't hire liars.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Because.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Whether that guy was that tenement square or not is
really not important to whether your company is going to
meet its sales goals and whether your company is going
to deliver on the product for the client that they're
supposed to Whether they were there or not, it's not
going to matter. It also didn't matter that they tell
you that. But it's a massive red flag. Just as
(18:27):
let's say a guy pulls his pants down shows his
wiener to the girls in.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
The office because he doesn't have any sense.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's not probably going to affect whether y'all deliver the
product on time, whether you make all your sales costs
over a period of time. You would demoralize and people
would leave. But it's not going to affect the bottom
line per se. But it's going to tell you something
about that guy that you don't want him on your team.
It's going to be an indicator of something bigger when
(18:59):
someone like like that. So the lies, Kamala Harris tells,
the average person will say it doesn't matter if she's
black or how black she is.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Perhaps you're right, then why does she do it? Right?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You say it doesn't matter? All right, she said she
worked at McDonald's. We now know she didn't. It's a lie. Well,
it doesn't matter if she worked with Okay, again, that
doesn't does anything matter? Is there any indicator of what
kind of president she would be based on the lies
that you tell me don't matter? Would you hire someone?
(19:38):
How about this, ladies, because that's who we seem to
be having the biggest problem with here.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
How about this.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
If you were dating a guy and he told you
he made three million dollars a year and it turns
out he makes thirty thousand dollars a year, and you go, well,
I don't care, I don't care how much he makes.
I love him. God bless you. But why did he lie?
You realize there's a reason he lied. He didn't just
(20:06):
randomly pick a three and couldn't remember how many zeros
were after it. Some number of women would be more
likely to go to bed with him if he made
three million, then thirty thousand.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's a fact. We can stipulate that.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
In fact.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Now we can argue over how high that percentage is,
but it ain't in doubt. We know that.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
So he lied. He presented himself as something he's not. Now,
what exactly do you love about him? Because whatever you
think you love about him.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
He's not.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
The first day he's very caring and nurturing and sensitive
and listens or who knows is kind to your cat?
Was the old George Strait song. She thinks I love
her cat, but you know me better than that, he
tells his ex. She thinks I'm she doesn't know I'm
going to get fat, and she thinks I love her cat.
She thinks I'm a nice guy and I like her friend.
(21:02):
But you know me better than that. His ex knows
him better than now he's posing. That's what Kamala is doing.
She's posing. I give you an example. Let's go back
to her appearance on The View yesterday. She was asked
what she was doing the morning Joe Biden called to
tell her he had decided to end his campaign. Now,
(21:26):
in the past, she has told us she was marinating
a pork roast.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Now she was making pancakes. They're both lies.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
The problem is when you tell lies, you have to
have a better memory.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
You'll get this phone call and you, I guess you
can tell who's calling and.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
What does he say? So I'll set the scene for you.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
So it's a Sunday and our family, my niece, her husband,
and their two daughters were staying with us, and I
had promised them that Sunday Auntie was going to make
pancakes and bacon.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I haven't really, And you know, the kids.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Wake up, the girls they're six and eight, they were
at the time. They wake up early. We always wake
up the first, so they come knocking on the door
and we have our quiet time in the morning, just
me and the girls. And so I went to workout
and I had on cooking shows and they were asking me, Auntie,
what's that ingredient?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Was that ingredient?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
And they're playing while I'm working out, make breakfast. We
sit down, we're having a breakfast, and we'd been working
on a puzzle. So if they want more bacon, got
more bacon.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You know how it goes.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
And so then we had a puzzle. So we went
back up to work on the puzzle. I'm still my
workout clothes and we're working on the puzzle and the
phone rings. So I said, Auntie, you'll be right back,
and it was the president and he told me his decision.
And I'll tell you the first thing I asked him
(22:55):
is are you sure?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Because what a big decision?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
And historic, oh yeah, And we talked for a while. Meanwhile,
I went back into the room where the girls were
and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Go get your father.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Because I knew he'd.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Be up somewhere, and so we laughed afterwards, Nick is
their father. We laughed that Almara the elder one was
kind of like Paul Revere and Leela the younger one,
was Paul Revere's worse.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But you know, so there were these It was a.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Real split screen, obviously, and then the rest of the
day was I mean, it was it was surreal, I'll
tell you honestly. One of the first people I called
was my pastor. I mean, I needed to talk to God,
you know, and to pray. It was I understood in
(23:55):
real time what was happening. And obviously then it really
set in in the hours and days to come.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That was a scripted story. That's not true because remember
at the time she said she was marinating a pork roast.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Look from the time that the president called me and
told me he wasn't running, I mean, it just like
everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not
sleeping so well. And that one morning, I just I mean,
I had I don't know, a few hours sleep, and
I you know, I like to sleep.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I just got it.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
I was like, so I just went out and got
a pork roast and started marinating.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You a happy place, and my family happen to be.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
A town, so they were very happy about.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
The whole situation.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
But I just got up and started I was asleep.
I just got up and started. Could gone, And today
everyone's thinking they could actually live the American Tree.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I was going to close this segment by talking about
Doug Imhoff, Kamala Harris's husband.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I was.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I'm not, but the fact that now it's come out
that he'd beat these women, he impregnated his daughter's nanny.
He apparently at the law firm. If women resisted his urgent.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I thought that he was gay.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But if women resisted his urges, they couldn't advance, they
couldn't be hired. He's a pretty bad dude. He's the
kind of guy that in the Me Too movement would
have been exposed if he wasn't protected by Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
We know that they covered up.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
For Harvey Weinstein. We know that until they couldn't cover
up any longer. There were some very very brave women
who came forward, and there was an attempt to destroy
them by the liberal media and by prominent Democrats.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
There was an attempt to destroy.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Them to prevent them from telling their story. Not because
Harvey needed to be protected, but because Harvey was in
bed literally and figuratively with a lot of people who
were powerful. There were alleged associations with Bill Obamas, the
(26:22):
brah As. Rushwood say, we'll get to that in time.
I wanted to close the show on something even bigger
than that. Yesterday I made the point that it's just
before the election and to do something nice. And I
heard from many of you, a lot of you first
time listeners have been sending emails, and I love to
(26:42):
hear from you. Tell me where you are, how you
heard the show.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Anything you like about it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You can do that on our website at Michael berryshow
dot com.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Is our third show.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
So if tonight's the first night you listened to years
from now you can say I heard you on your
third show that went national. If you've listened for your
third day in a row, that means if you were
here on Monday, you were here for our first show.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
But I talked about.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Going home and doing something, you know, take your son
or daughter for pizza, take them to do something fun,
just because. And I heard from a lot of you
that you did and that's very rewarding, very gratifying to me.
But I want to say this. I made the point
that it was just before the election. If you're a
(27:27):
salesman and you're trying to get in somewhere to sell
them your product. You know, if you're a pharmaceutical rep
and you're trying to get into the doctor's office, famously,
you bring.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Lunch for everybody.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
If you're a rep of a distributor of any product
and you're trying to get into an office or a company,
any place that could be a buyer of what you
have to sell, you go in with your best foot forward.
You might bring donuts, you might bring coffee, you might
bring gift certificates, tickets to the ball game. You don't
(27:59):
go in and being obnoxious. You don't go in screaming
at people. You go in with a smile because you
want them to like you. Right, we have to get
everyone around us to vote for Trump. Can you honestly
say you're selling the people around you on voting for Trump?
(28:21):
Because I can tell you some of you don't realize
what you're doing. You're turning people off. You're the loudest,
most obnoxious Trump supporter there is and you've decided you
don't care. You like it, Okay, like it, but you're selfish.
This is indulgent behavior. It's not strategic behavior. And guess
(28:42):
what if Trump loses because we don't get him over
the finish line, then you can be mad at everyone
else that they're dumb. Just don't say you left it
on the field. Don't say you did everything possible to
win the game because you didn't. You're like Malachi was
(29:02):
his last name, Malcolm Moore? What's the kid's name in Alabama?
He lost his cool, got a penalty there at the end.
That wouldn't have happen during Saban, Sabin would have gone
out on the field, grabbed him by the ear and
pulled him off. He told the player coming out to
replace him. Now you stay over there. I'm sat on
the field. And everything you needed to know about was
his name, Kayla Labor, this new coach. Everything you needed
(29:25):
to know about him was he and his defensive coordinator
later defended the guy.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh he just has a heart. You know, he could
have left and he stayed here.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
You know what, you got the inmates running the asylum
to the way the great bottom Wing.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Theaire once said, but here's what I want to close with.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
If you heard the story earlier of WWNC, the radio
station out of Ashford, North Carolina, I called him and
I said, I want to have you guys on the.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Air because I want to brag on you.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I wanted you to know how important it is it
was to the people of Ashford, North Carolina that you
guys stayed on the air when you were flooded in,
when you couldn't get out of the station, when you
didn't have any They were doing ham radio broadcasts, and
I wanted them to understand it doesn't cost me anything
to thank somebody. I try to thank somebody when my
(30:13):
assistant comes in every day at eleven when we finish
our morning show. You're listening to the evening show. We
do a morning show as well. The first thing she does.
We have a routine, is I have a thank you
note I send to people. She brings it and drops
it in front of me, and then she and I
and Ramon think about somebody that I either send a
thank you to or a congratulations, so it's in one
(30:36):
of those, and by making it a part of my routine,
I don't forget to do it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Because you know, you get busy. Oh I need to
send a congratulations.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Note, But I do it every day because that's the routine.
And I will tell you that that gives me an
opportunity to think about who did something nice, not just
necessarily for me, Who did something come into me like
Mark Starling at WWNC and Tank Spencer AWNC in Asheville,
(31:04):
North Carolina. Who did something that made life better. It
could be Elon Musk dropping Starling's. It could be anybody,
but it's more important that it'd be somebody who's not famous.
The lady at the coffee shop who's always smiling, the
guy who delivers, the guy who.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Lives next door to a little old lady and.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
He goes and picks up her newspaper and brings it
every morning and puts it on her doorstep.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, that guy that Dan
It's that time time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Michael Verie Show is on the air. We're talking to
Mark Starling, who is the program director.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
That means he runs a program director is the person
who decides who goes on the air. And it's a
news talk station there in Asheville, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's called ww NC.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You know, Mark, five ten years from now, you will
be at a music festival that one of your other
stations is hosting, or you'll be at some public event,
or you'll be.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Emcing a political debate.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You'll be doing something where someone knows who you are
and they'll say, there's Mark Sterling with WWNC. And someone
will walk up and tell a story and they will
tell us about cowering in their house as the waters
rose and scared to death, and your voice was the
(01:08):
only thing. And you know when it's all gone, when
the electricity's gone and the web is gone, and all
the things that we cling to are gone, and the
disaster is in full swing and Mother Nature's wrath is
upon us. And to know that they've got that little
handheld radio. They forgot they had that AM radio and
(01:28):
they got that to their ear and they're huddled around
like a fireside speech in nineteen thirty two, and to
know that you were what was keeping them saying because
you were finding in the pit of your gut in
a place you did not recess, you didn't know existed,
a positivity that you didn't even believe that got them through.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Ooh boy, that's going to hit you. That's going to
hit you hard.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
That is going to make you realize why, as you said,
this is why you are where you are where you
are so supposed to be in the right place at
the right time. And wow, did you guys ever rise
to the occasion. I hope you will give all of
your team a group hug for me. We're going to
(02:13):
send you all some can y'all receive packages to the
station now?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes? Yeah, mail service is As a matter of fact,
the day of the storm, I got a call from
a mail guy that said, they want us to deliver
the mail.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Those guys are heroes.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Those guys are heroes.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We ww NC delivers as well.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
You do.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You said you were on your way when we reached
out to you. Funny story, small small world tank Spencer
who we first talked to at your station. First thing,
he asked me, was do you still work with Ramon
Robless And I said, oh, my goodness, he's listening in
right now, is Ramone. And this is going to blow
up his massive ego for him to hear his name
(02:59):
mentioned in North Carolina, where we're not currently on. And
he said, oh, I know, Ramon. We're in a fantasy
football league together. And Keith Mollenax, who was Pat Ray's producer,
and Ramone told me I didn't know this. Ramone was
the program director for Keith when Pat Gray was in Houston,
and when Keith went to Nebraska. I guess Ramone rode
(03:22):
with him to help him relocate his apartment. So you know,
it's one of those good deeds you do and you
never think about, and here, fifteen years later it comes back.
I feel like we're sending out a very positive vibe
into the universe from this conversation.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Mark. I'm also a very devout Christian.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I believe that God's hand has been on you and
this station and this state and your people. I think
a lot of character has been revealed through all of this.
I know that you had people waiting for you that
were trying to get to the station to you and
that they have made a lot of sacrifices so that
you could you could do what you've done, and I
(04:02):
won't hold you any longer so that you can go
to be with them, Brandy and everyone you love. But
please thank them for the rest of us for sharing
you with the rest of us.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
As soon as soon as I can get them back
to western North Carolina, I will absolutely do that. They
are currently with my brother and his wife in Atlanta.
They rode the storm out in a gas station parking
lot for about seven hours. We lost touch for we
lost thatch for roughly thirty six to forty eight hours.
And as Tank Spencer and I were on the air
(04:38):
on Sunday, he was putting the callers names up on
the computer screen so I could see them. And I
looked over at the screen and I saw my wife's name,
and she's the only Brandy I know. This deils her
name with two e's at the end.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I looked at it and I said, I said, are
you Is this what I think it is? And he
said yes, And that was the first time I'd heard
her voice. And once the waterworks stopped, I asked her
how she was and she was just leaving a town
meeting at Black Mountain, and she proceeded to peel into
a TV news style report that was better than any
(05:14):
national reporter I have ever seen do the job. And
she's a mental health counselor. I still haven't seen her
since this. I haven't seen her since the or the
Wednesday night before the storm. I'm hoping that they get
home sometime maybe this weekend, if not sometime into next week.
We've we did incur some damage at our home and
(05:36):
I'm trying to get that mitigated and get that taken
care of before before they come back, so that they
can come back to a home that is safe and
that is comfortable. And that is that is that is theirs.
You know it.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
We just got married back in April. My son Eli,
who's my stepson, but he's my son. I claim him
of mine. And she wrote it out, she wrote that
storm out with our son. We have two eighty five
pound golden doodles, one hundred pound redbone coonhound, and a
six pound Shihuahua and they were all crammed in a
four runner together. And I don't know how she did it, man,
(06:14):
but she is the toughest toughest little cookie I know.
And I've never been more blessed to realize that I
can call her my wife, and I just can't wait
to see her.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Just promise me that when you took a knee and
took her hand, you said, Brandy, you're a fine girl.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What a good wife you would be?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh, you know, we played that song every morning during
the morning show since this broadcast has kind of started,
because Brandy is now calling in every morning as and
offering her free mental health counseling services to anybody that's listening.
They can email her they and she will counsel them
for free for as long as they need. But this
(06:54):
was her way. She feels so disconnected from the community
because she's in Atlanta and she's she's saved and comfortable,
and that is fantastic, but she just wanted to be
able to do something, and so she has offered her
counseling services, uh to all of the folks of western
North Carolina to reach out and if they, you know,
if they they feel like they need to talk to somebody,
she's there for them.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm telling you, Michael, we've got a new version.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
We're gone.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
We're going to put The Michael Berry Show singers on
this and the new version is going to be with
with with apologies to looking Glass, It's going to be Brandy.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You're a fine girl. What a good wife. You could
be my time, I rob it is my job. I
gotta be at w w n C.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Okay, it's a little long, Okay, Marmone says. The lyrics
rare too long. Okay, it's too worthy. But we're gonna
We're gonna work on Mark. I know you got to
get well. Appreciate you. So proud of you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You have made all of us in radio so incredibly
proud you and Tank Spencer, the whole whole team w
w n C in Asheville.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
North Carolina the pride of the nation right now. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Thank you so much, Michael, and thank you for keeping
attention on Western North Carolina. It's an honor to talk
to you about or be on your show you about.
You have been a long time unknown mentor and I
really appreciate everything.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The worst president, the worst vice president.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
In the history of our christ, the Michael Berry. We
can't afford four more years of the cold.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
If you are new to the Michael Berry Show. Since
we have added a lot of listeners with our syndication deal,
then I feel like I have to kind of explain
a little bit of how we do the show, and
I will be doing that as we introduce ourselves to
you over the coming weeks and months.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I hope you'll hang around.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We are an acquired taste, partly because our show is
very different. And that's not to say that we're better
than another show, or that another show is not great.
Sean Hannity is a great show. Clay and Buck do
a great show. Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Jesse Kelly dear
friend of mine. I mean, I know all those guys,
(09:08):
but it's just to say our show is different, that's all.
And so if you're used to sort of the traditional
formatics of radio, we don't follow those, and.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sometimes that's a little odd for people.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
One of the things you're gonna notice and hopefully appreciate,
we love music, and music is a big part of
our show, and we play a lot of music that
you may not have been on where you are in
the country, that you may never have heard before, including
kind of some independent stuff like Snake Farm, which is
legendary in our Circle in Houston by a guy named
(09:47):
Ray Willy Hubbard. That is a song that he wrote
and sang about a snake farm.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You drive along the highway and it says snake farm,
pull in here, and you pull and you give them
your five bucks and you go in and you get
to hold.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
A bunch of snakes.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And the song is about a girl that he's in
love with who handles snakes while working at the snake form.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah. Yeah, it's very Texan. It's very cool, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
By the way, our show is loaded to the podcast,
which is free for you to listen to, so if
you ever miss a part of the show and you
become a loyal listener to the show, which we hope
you will, you can always go back and listen to
what you miss. And many of our folks do on
(10:38):
the podcast. Wherever you get your podcasts, whether that's iHeart, Spotify.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
There's a lot of them out there.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I'm not a technology guy, but people tell me they
listen on iTunes, all of them. And just to let
you know, we do everything on the podcast, and we
do bonus podcasts as well, which is like tonight, I've
got way more things to talk about then I have
time to talk about them, so we will post other content.
(11:06):
I just encourage you to go there. You can get
a link to all of that. You can email me
directly at Michael Berryshow dot com Michael Berryshow dot com.
All right, let's get back to it. So we told
you Ramon, this is going to be four o nine.
Yesterday during the day, Kamala Harris was asked, would you
(11:26):
do anything different than what Joe Biden has done?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Listen to this. If anything.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Which you have done something differently than President Biden during
the past four years.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
There has done a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
One more time, remone if anything which you have done
something differently than President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
On a thing that comes to mind in terms of
and I've been a part of most of the decisions
that have had impact.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Our service members killed in Afghanistan in a boxed withdrawal
because they pulled the cover out before they pulled our
folks out, so there was nothing to stop what happened.
Illegal immigration on a scale like we've never seen. Over
four hundred thousand convicted felons alone coming through.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's the ones that have already been convicted.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Death and destruction, inflation off the charts, devastating people's lives,
so many mistakes made, shutdowns, leading to suicides, all of
these things. And you can't play that more time. You
can't find anything you would do different.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
If anything, which you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So it's very important for her to tell you that,
you know, I'm really important.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm part of making these decisions. Okay, I don't think
I would.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Brag about that if I was you, but I guess
it's so important for you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
You wonder why she lies about having worked at McDonald's
when she didn't. You wonder why she makes up stories
of things that happened that didn't, claiming she walked with
Martin Luther King Junior, and all these things that she
makes up that are impossible based on the timeline. And
by the way, Tim Wats who claims he was at
(13:47):
Teneman Square and turns out he wasn't I miss Folk,
I'm another head, I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You're both liars, You're dishonest, dishonorable people. Period into story.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So then she's given a chance to come back later
and make up for that last night. Stephen Colbert, being
a good foot soldier, he's going to give her an
opportunity to say, all right, what would you do differently?
This is all coordinated, what would you do differently? Let's
fix what you said earlier.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters,
really want this to be a change election, and that
they tend to break for you. In terms of thinking
about change, you are a member of the president administration
under a Harris administration, What would the major changes be
and what would say the same?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Sure, well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and
so that would be one change erms. But also I
think it's important to say with you know, twenty eight
days ago, I'm not Donald Trump. And so when we
think about the significance of what this next generation of
(15:04):
leadership looks like were I to be elected president, it
is about Frankly, I love the American people, and I
believe in our country. I love that it is our
character and nature to be an ambitious people. You know,
we have aspirations, we have dreams, we have incredible work ethic,
(15:30):
and I just believe that we can create and build
upon the success we've achieved in a way that we
continue to grow opportunity and in that way grow the
strength of our nation. So, for example, my economic policies,
I think of it and I have named it as
creating an opportunity economy. So it's about things like investing
(15:51):
in small businesses. I love our small businesses.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Here is the painful reality that everybody has to understand.
She wouldn't do anything differ differently than Joe Biden did,
and neither would he, because they're not in charge. The
people in charge are doing exactly what they want to do.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
This isn't a glitch in the system, This is the design.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Michael Perry Jamala was born
that way. Say you have a job, applicants coming in
looking to work for you, and you read their resume
and they say, you say, tell me the most interesting
life experience you've had. I was at Teneman Square And
(16:35):
you say, wow, that's amazing. And you start digging and
you realize they weren't even born yet. You would immediately
start thinking to yourself, if you know anything about leadership,
the most important thing is the draft.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It's more important. It's Jimmy's and Joe's over x'es and oh.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
As they say in the football world, the number one
most important thing to win college football games is to
get the most talented boys on your team. Now, from there,
because two great recruiters up against each other. Now you're
going to find out who makes the best personnel decisions, who.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Game plans the best.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And then if you want to get to the top
two or three coaches every year and the top two
or three in history, real sports fans will tell you, you.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Want to know how good a guy is.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
You want to know the difference between a really good
coach and great Nick Saban level. What does he do
in the second half. Great coaches win games in the
second half that they're losing. Right, If you want great
(17:56):
people in your organization, you don't hire liars.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Because.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Whether that guy was that tenement square or not is
really not important to whether your company is going to
meet its sales goals and whether your company is going
to deliver on the product for the client that they're
supposed to Whether they were there or not, it's not
going to matter. It also didn't matter that they tell
you that. But it's a massive red flag. Just as
(18:27):
let's say a guy pulls his pants down shows his
wiener to the girls in.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
The office because he doesn't have any sense.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's not probably going to affect whether y'all deliver the
product on time, whether you make all your sales costs
over a period of time. You would demoralize and people
would leave. But it's not going to affect the bottom
line per se. But it's going to tell you something
about that guy that you don't want him on your team.
It's going to be an indicator of something bigger when
(18:59):
someone like like that. So the lies, Kamala Harris tells,
the average person will say it doesn't matter if she's
black or how black she is.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Perhaps you're right, then why does she do it? Right?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You say it doesn't matter? All right, she said she
worked at McDonald's. We now know she didn't. It's a lie. Well,
it doesn't matter if she worked with Okay, again, that
doesn't does anything matter? Is there any indicator of what
kind of president she would be based on the lies
that you tell me don't matter? Would you hire someone?
(19:38):
How about this, ladies, because that's who we seem to
be having the biggest problem with here.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
How about this.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
If you were dating a guy and he told you
he made three million dollars a year and it turns
out he makes thirty thousand dollars a year, and you go, well,
I don't care, I don't care how much he makes.
I love him. God bless you. But why did he lie?
You realize there's a reason he lied. He didn't just
(20:06):
randomly pick a three and couldn't remember how many zeros
were after it. Some number of women would be more
likely to go to bed with him if he made
three million, then thirty thousand.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's a fact. We can stipulate that.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
In fact.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Now we can argue over how high that percentage is,
but it ain't in doubt. We know that.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
So he lied. He presented himself as something he's not. Now,
what exactly do you love about him? Because whatever you
think you love about him.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
He's not.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
The first day he's very caring and nurturing and sensitive
and listens or who knows is kind to your cat?
Was the old George Strait song. She thinks I love
her cat, but you know me better than that, he
tells his ex. She thinks I'm she doesn't know I'm
going to get fat, and she thinks I love her cat.
She thinks I'm a nice guy and I like her friend.
(21:02):
But you know me better than that. His ex knows
him better than now he's posing. That's what Kamala is doing.
She's posing. I give you an example. Let's go back
to her appearance on The View yesterday. She was asked
what she was doing the morning Joe Biden called to
tell her he had decided to end his campaign. Now,
(21:26):
in the past, she has told us she was marinating
a pork roast.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Now she was making pancakes. They're both lies.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
The problem is when you tell lies, you have to
have a better memory.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
You'll get this phone call and you, I guess you
can tell who's calling and.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
What does he say? So I'll set the scene for you.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
So it's a Sunday and our family, my niece, her husband,
and their two daughters were staying with us, and I
had promised them that Sunday Auntie was going to make
pancakes and bacon.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I haven't really, And you know, the kids.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Wake up, the girls they're six and eight, they were
at the time. They wake up early. We always wake
up the first, so they come knocking on the door
and we have our quiet time in the morning, just
me and the girls. And so I went to workout
and I had on cooking shows and they were asking me, Auntie,
what's that ingredient?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Was that ingredient?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
And they're playing while I'm working out, make breakfast. We
sit down, we're having a breakfast, and we'd been working
on a puzzle. So if they want more bacon, got
more bacon.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You know how it goes.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
And so then we had a puzzle. So we went
back up to work on the puzzle. I'm still my
workout clothes and we're working on the puzzle and the
phone rings. So I said, Auntie, you'll be right back,
and it was the president and he told me his decision.
And I'll tell you the first thing I asked him
(22:55):
is are you sure?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Because what a big decision?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
And historic, oh yeah, And we talked for a while. Meanwhile,
I went back into the room where the girls were
and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Go get your father.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Because I knew he'd.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Be up somewhere, and so we laughed afterwards, Nick is
their father. We laughed that Almara the elder one was
kind of like Paul Revere and Leela the younger one,
was Paul Revere's worse.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But you know, so there were these It was a.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Real split screen, obviously, and then the rest of the
day was I mean, it was it was surreal, I'll
tell you honestly. One of the first people I called
was my pastor. I mean, I needed to talk to God,
you know, and to pray. It was I understood in
(23:55):
real time what was happening. And obviously then it really
set in in the hours and days to come.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That was a scripted story. That's not true because remember
at the time she said she was marinating a pork roast.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Look from the time that the president called me and
told me he wasn't running, I mean, it just like
everything was in speedy, speedy motion, and I was not
sleeping so well. And that one morning, I just I mean,
I had I don't know, a few hours sleep, and
I you know, I like to sleep.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I just got it.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
I was like, so I just went out and got
a pork roast and started marinating.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You a happy place, and my family happen to be.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
A town, so they were very happy about.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
The whole situation.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
But I just got up and started I was asleep.
I just got up and started. Could gone, And today
everyone's thinking they could actually live the American Tree.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I was going to close this segment by talking about
Doug Imhoff, Kamala Harris's husband.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I was.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I'm not, but the fact that now it's come out
that he'd beat these women, he impregnated his daughter's nanny.
He apparently at the law firm. If women resisted his urgent.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I thought that he was gay.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But if women resisted his urges, they couldn't advance, they
couldn't be hired. He's a pretty bad dude. He's the
kind of guy that in the Me Too movement would
have been exposed if he wasn't protected by Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
We know that they covered up.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
For Harvey Weinstein. We know that until they couldn't cover
up any longer. There were some very very brave women
who came forward, and there was an attempt to destroy
them by the liberal media and by prominent Democrats.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
There was an attempt to destroy.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Them to prevent them from telling their story. Not because
Harvey needed to be protected, but because Harvey was in
bed literally and figuratively with a lot of people who
were powerful. There were alleged associations with Bill Obamas, the
(26:22):
brah As. Rushwood say, we'll get to that in time.
I wanted to close the show on something even bigger
than that. Yesterday I made the point that it's just
before the election and to do something nice. And I
heard from many of you, a lot of you first
time listeners have been sending emails, and I love to
(26:42):
hear from you. Tell me where you are, how you
heard the show.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Anything you like about it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You can do that on our website at Michael berryshow
dot com.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Is our third show.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
So if tonight's the first night you listened to years
from now you can say I heard you on your
third show that went national. If you've listened for your
third day in a row, that means if you were
here on Monday, you were here for our first show.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
But I talked about.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Going home and doing something, you know, take your son
or daughter for pizza, take them to do something fun,
just because. And I heard from a lot of you
that you did and that's very rewarding, very gratifying to me.
But I want to say this. I made the point
that it was just before the election. If you're a
(27:27):
salesman and you're trying to get in somewhere to sell
them your product. You know, if you're a pharmaceutical rep
and you're trying to get into the doctor's office, famously,
you bring.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Lunch for everybody.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
If you're a rep of a distributor of any product
and you're trying to get into an office or a company,
any place that could be a buyer of what you
have to sell, you go in with your best foot forward.
You might bring donuts, you might bring coffee, you might
bring gift certificates, tickets to the ball game. You don't
(27:59):
go in and being obnoxious. You don't go in screaming
at people. You go in with a smile because you
want them to like you. Right, we have to get
everyone around us to vote for Trump. Can you honestly
say you're selling the people around you on voting for Trump?
(28:21):
Because I can tell you some of you don't realize
what you're doing. You're turning people off. You're the loudest,
most obnoxious Trump supporter there is and you've decided you
don't care. You like it, Okay, like it, but you're selfish.
This is indulgent behavior. It's not strategic behavior. And guess
(28:42):
what if Trump loses because we don't get him over
the finish line, then you can be mad at everyone
else that they're dumb. Just don't say you left it
on the field. Don't say you did everything possible to
win the game because you didn't. You're like Malachi was
(29:02):
his last name, Malcolm Moore? What's the kid's name in Alabama?
He lost his cool, got a penalty there at the end.
That wouldn't have happen during Saban, Sabin would have gone
out on the field, grabbed him by the ear and
pulled him off. He told the player coming out to
replace him. Now you stay over there. I'm sat on
the field. And everything you needed to know about was
his name, Kayla Labor, this new coach. Everything you needed
(29:25):
to know about him was he and his defensive coordinator
later defended the guy.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh he just has a heart. You know, he could
have left and he stayed here.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
You know what, you got the inmates running the asylum
to the way the great bottom Wing.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Theaire once said, but here's what I want to close with.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
If you heard the story earlier of WWNC, the radio
station out of Ashford, North Carolina, I called him and
I said, I want to have you guys on the.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Air because I want to brag on you.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I wanted you to know how important it is it
was to the people of Ashford, North Carolina that you
guys stayed on the air when you were flooded in,
when you couldn't get out of the station, when you
didn't have any They were doing ham radio broadcasts, and
I wanted them to understand it doesn't cost me anything
to thank somebody. I try to thank somebody when my
(30:13):
assistant comes in every day at eleven when we finish
our morning show. You're listening to the evening show. We
do a morning show as well. The first thing she does.
We have a routine, is I have a thank you
note I send to people. She brings it and drops
it in front of me, and then she and I
and Ramon think about somebody that I either send a
thank you to or a congratulations, so it's in one
(30:36):
of those, and by making it a part of my routine,
I don't forget to do it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Because you know, you get busy. Oh I need to
send a congratulations.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Note, But I do it every day because that's the routine.
And I will tell you that that gives me an
opportunity to think about who did something nice, not just
necessarily for me, Who did something come into me like
Mark Starling at WWNC and Tank Spencer AWNC in Asheville,
(31:04):
North Carolina. Who did something that made life better. It
could be Elon Musk dropping Starling's. It could be anybody,
but it's more important that it'd be somebody who's not famous.
The lady at the coffee shop who's always smiling, the
guy who delivers, the guy who.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Lives next door to a little old lady and.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
He goes and picks up her newspaper and brings it
every morning and puts it on her doorstep.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, that guy that Dan
