Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air. Did you see
the video of the woman we ran out on the
(00:24):
field last night. She was described by one person as
having a big front porch. Yeah. She uh, she has
some large saddle bags and they were they weren't They
(00:45):
weren't tied down. They were moving around. I mean they
were flashing. Yes, I had only seen the video. She
runs out on the field about five yards from the
wide receivers and cornerbacks that are in that are kind
(01:06):
of in tight and she goes running out. She runs out.
I had only seen the video of her coming at you.
I've now seen video during the break front from the
stands in the end zone, and she just walks down
the aisle, gets to the front row and just steps
(01:28):
over the little gate that gets you onto the field
and starts running. And she's wearing boots with heels, like
knee high boots with heels, and she starts trotting along
and I see that may oh no, they're above her knees.
(01:50):
And so she's running with her sign up that says
Trump Secure Borders, Kamala Open Borders, and she's running right
up on them, past them, and she's looking over at
them like, y'all aren't looking at me. You don't seem
to see me. And then they look at her and
everyone is sort of dumbfounded. They're puzzled. It's weird, what
(02:14):
is happening. And as she's looking then the cops come
from on the sideline. I must confess that when people
do that, my favorite part is there is always the
most out of shape security guard. I think when they
when they have the cattle call for for this position,
(02:38):
they go, Nah, you're too thin. Nah, you like you've
run a mile within the last forty years. You over there, yep,
you you are morbidly obese. You've got a belly when
it looks like just gallons of water sloshing down. You know,
it's one thing when people are fat and there's some
(02:59):
you know, you get this sense if you pushed it,
it might push back a little. And then you get
these people. It's like it's like a hernia in there
that it opened up and it's just just a sack
of water. And so you get these guys. They just
got this huge belly flopped over and they've got to
(03:19):
chase the guy and it's usually this is a woman,
but it's usually a dude. And you can tell he's
having a lot of fun. He's always under the influence
because he had to do something to get himself ready
to go out on the field. The point at which
they start in on him and he starts juking them,
that is, to me the best part of the whole deal.
(03:43):
When he's because he's not gonna last much long, not
like he's gonna get away, but he's extending this as
long as possible, and they're in terrible shape. And I
must confess that is my absolute favorite. I love that
so much, absolutely love it. Tom. You're on the Michael
Berry Show. Tom, go ahead, sir.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, good morning, Michael. Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, I can hear you? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I just wanted to, you know, add on to what
your previous caller said. It's kind of frustrating to see
the ballot and not have the uh, not have choices
on every position and stuff. I'm out in Fort ben County.
I have voted this morning polling place I went to.
I was in and out, in and out in less
(04:29):
than ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And how many people would get on alto.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh, three or four. Oh, there were they were open
in the at the place I was at, there were
lots of open uh, voting machines.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Where were you? Where exactly was the voting location?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Jones Ranch on three point fifty nine?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Is that where you typically vote?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
When I vote early, it is because I head out
of state to go hunting.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, And did you talk to the other people in
line before you voted?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
There was no line?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay? Well you said there were three or four people
walked in? You literally walked up?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well there, yes, I literally walked up. I handed my
driver's license to the gal there. You know, there were
two people checking in and there was one other person,
so the position was open. I checked in and and
voted and was out of there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
How old was the what you referred to as the
gal that you handed your ID too? Was she older
than seventy? Oh? No, how old?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
She's probably in her thirties.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh my goodness, they're restocking.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, there was there was a how would I say,
a broad range, broad range age of folks conducting the
business there.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Interesting, it's always really really really old women who are,
in my experience, almost always just sweethearts. Everywhere I've ever been,
and I like to vote in different places just to
do my own little study on what's going on. In
(06:20):
twenty twenty two, I voted at voted early. Where did
I vote? I ended up voting. I ended up voting
at Trinyman and Hall, which is kind of Spring Branch area.
But before that nothing, I went to vote together and
(06:43):
there was a very long line at We went over
to one of the villages. It was Hunter's Creek maybe,
and it was off of Beindhorn and there's a there's
a water down Unitarian. It's like a church without a
(07:06):
real church. I don't know why they call them. I
guess you get tax advantages, but it's like it's a
church where if someone screamed Jesus's Lord did say you're
at the wrong rally. And we got there to vote,
we go walking up. It was a very very long line,
and I did that thing where you're just trying to
(07:28):
see how long the line is because there's nothing worse.
Then you wait in line for an hour to get
around the corner, and then you rose. When you get
around the corner, oh there's another hour and a half.
So I go marching up all the way to the
front just to peak and see how long the line is.
And I realized it was too long a line. It
(07:48):
was about three forty five. I'm not going to make
it back by five o'clock, not if I wait in
this line. And there was the prettiest woman, just just
staggeringly beautiful. She was probably fifty years old, complete knockout,
(08:09):
wearing those boots we were talking about her owner the
stiletto boots. Dressed to the nines. She was very, very
out of place. I don't know what else to say.
Blonde hair, maybe she wasn't quite fifty minutes, little earlier
than that, made a little younger than that. But I said, hey,
I can't vote here. Is there somewhere else I can go?
And she told me, if you go to triny Minton Hall,
(08:32):
it'll take you fifteen minutes to get there. It didn't
take me quite that long. It'll take you fifteen minutes
to get there, and you'll be in and out in
ten minutes. And she was right, and that's what I did,
and I made it back. But she's the first one
I've ever seen. They had her out front. She was
like the Walmart roof. She was the first one I've
ever known under seventy years old. Ever this You've got
Tom Country, Michael Barry, we think sweet tea? We don't
(08:56):
you think so?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Leod Hollow your drinking.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
With that bluest blue Come on home, your adoved. I
got an email last week which I disregarded because it
was from a PR firm pitching a guest and I
didn't even look at who the guest was. I just
deleted it. And in this morning I scanned it and
(09:24):
they had highlighted or bolded the name Pat Boone and
it said, you know, Pep, would you like to have
a legendary musician Pat Boone on your show? I thought,
maybe I'm getting that confused. Pat Boone hasn't had a
song since before I was born. He can't be alive anymore.
(09:48):
He has released a powerful new song, Where Did America Go?
This heartfelt track calls on Americans to reflect on the
nation's current state and strive to reclaim the values that
wants to find it well. Truth is, most of these
songs that are designed for the moment about how bad
(10:10):
things are, and they'd be better off if they were
a parody. But they're all chasing that. Lee Greenwood, Stardust
and they're usually just terrible. But I had to look
him up and Pat Boone is still alive. He's ninety
years old, which you think, Oh, it's gonna like Jimmy
(10:33):
Carter trying to vote Willi's Willie's in his nineties and
he's still out there. Yeah, So I shortly answer is
I'm gonna have to interview him. He's Pat Boone. How
can you not? I had asked about working in McDonald's,
and I won't read all the emails. We'll get to
him in time, but I liked this one. She says.
(10:56):
My name is Carol. I started working at sixteen back
in nineteen teen seventy two as a counter person as
soon as the brand new McDonald's was opened on Fondering
between bel Air and fifty nine. I started at a
dollar ten an hour. I worked there through high school
and even college. When I came home for holidays in summer,
(11:16):
they had contests in the region. I have no idea
how many stores, but it was quite a few. They
had several positions that had competitions, grill cooks, fry cooks, counterpeople,
lobby hosts. I won a regional Customer Service award. We
were rated on the quality of our packaging of orders,
speed of service and accuracy of the order, and money
count of our drawer, and politeness of service. We had
(11:39):
to greet each customer with a smile, repeat the order
back for accuracy, attempt to upsell a dessert or side,
and thank them for the order. We were judged on
two given Saturday mornings. The points were tallied amongst other
counter people in the region, and I want a plaque
instilled in me the value of customer service that I
have used throughout my career. Kelly voted in Sugarland, Easy peasy.
(12:04):
I encourage everyone to vote. Kyle Mott voted with It.
Took the whole family to the Koot's Courthouse in Hardin
County to vote. They were there fifteen minutes before the
polls opened, and one hundred people in line. They funneled
in they got in to vote. Kelly said her husband
and her voted at Quell Valley Fund office in Montgomery County.
(12:27):
They were in line at seven twenty two and they
were done before the our show started. Remember the polls
are opening at seven am these days until seven pm.
James writes, I one hundred percent agree on the answer
is vote Montgomery County, New Caney in line at seven
photo before eight. Bonnie writes, I worked a subject line
(12:52):
best time and worst time to vote early. I worked
as a judge at early voting for the previous eight years.
The least busy time to vote is midweek or late
on Sunday. If possible, vote between nine and eleven, two
and four or after six. The worst state of votes
(13:13):
the last day. If you come at four pm or later,
you will find a long line. You know, I've come
to the conclusion, and I'm not mad about it. I
don't mean to suggest I think they're lesser people. A
lot of people just will never get their stuff straight
in their lives. Their lives are disordered, their lives are disheveled.
(13:38):
They lurch from one screw up to another, and they
don't realize that they are the pattern. Everything is late,
all the time. They're always late, which forces them to
drive like a maniac, which puts them into more trouble,
causes more problems for other people in themselves. Then they're
mad at everybody that they won't accept this late. They
(13:59):
couldn't late, the door wasn't there, the traffic was bad.
They're just people who never plan ahead, never make good decisions.
Doesn't mean they're complete failures in life, but they're people
for whom that pattern is there in everything they do.
That guy's gonna roll in, laid on and vote, Zora.
I witness morning in Kingwood and there was a pretty
(14:21):
good line waiting to get into the voting booth. Both
my wife and I voted for all the Republicans all
the way down the ballot. Yay us, Yeah, yay you
bred Bussy, Good on you. Megan Millis, Meghan Malice, You
remember Meghan? She says, good morning. My dad and I
are up here at the Pearland Library close to Dixie
Farm to vote early, and it is already packed. And
(14:43):
the time it took to get in line and take
this picture, about fifteen to twenty more people got in line,
and more are pulling up in droves. People are ready
to vote. They are ready to vote. Let's go to Debbie. Debbie,
you're old of Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Sit Hey, Michael. I heard a woman call in on
a Friday afternoon talk show and ask what does two
big to rig mean? And Doug Collins was the guest host,
and he didn't answer, and I got to thinking about it.
How can that be explained? Well, every state knows exactly
(15:25):
how many voters are registered. I think I heard Share
say we have eighteen million, seven hundred thousand registered voters
in Texas. If people don't use their vote, it can
be a form of identity theft because ballots can be
(15:49):
held in check that have already been filled out, and
they just every voter that doesn't go in and vote,
they put in this ballot the way they want to vote.
The Democrats or whoever's trying to cheat. So if people
don't get out and vote, your vote is going to
(16:11):
be stolen from you, your identity. So please people go vote,
use your precious right to vote.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
But Debbie, wouldn't it be better if, instead of actually
going to vote and doing something productive and being a
part of a solution, you just say you just continuously
read articles about voter fraud and then post about voter fraud,
and anytime someone brings up voting, you mentioned voter fraud
and how bad the voter fraud is. And anyone who
disagrees with you is not aware. They're just zombies and
(16:51):
you know more than they do. Wouldn't that be.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Better if your couch. Is that comfortable you go write
ahead and shut off exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You know, that's it. You know, I will ask people, well, okay,
I read your conspiracy email now, and by the way,
much of it is true. People will read about voter
fraud in Philadelphia, Detroit and not vote in Houston as
a result. And there again, my wife says, I have
(17:25):
to stop reading emails because it's making me crazy. There again,
this comes down to something that I never wanted to admit.
There are people who are stupid. There are people who
are their own worst enemy. There are people who cause
their own problems. They they're mad at Kamala and Obama,
but really they cause their own problems and they're not
(17:47):
going to vote, but they are going to talk, and
they're just going to suppress the vote. That's what they're
good at.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Everybody needs to be woke.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I just say more woke than less woke.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I just assume Pat Boone had written that song, biggest
hit arguably, but he didn't because Pat Boone was born
in nineteen thirty four, ninety years ago. Love Letters in
the Sand was first published as a song in nineteen
(18:25):
thirty one. It was a poem a fellow named Nick Kinney.
Red Koots read the poem in the New York Daily Mirror,
got his permission to set the poem to music, went
through four different melodies before settling on the published version
(18:48):
that we know today. The melody bears similarity to the
eighteen eighty one song the Spanish Cavalier. Lyrics credited to
both Nick Kenney and his brother Charles Kenny. It was
first recorded by Helen Rowland within a foxtrot played by
(19:12):
the Majestic Dance Orchestra, but it became quite popular in
nineteen fifty seven when our new friend Pat Boone recorded it.
There's a little old lady out there right now, Dare
I say? Probably quite a few? Who I just said foxtrot,
(19:40):
I said, Pat Boone. I said love letters in the sand.
And they're thinking, now, this is my kind of show.
This right here. All that other stuff y'all carried on
and all that, but this do more shows like this, Michael,
This is a good program. Ah love it. I love
(20:04):
my little old ladies. Where are my little old ladies?
I would like you to call up and tell me
you're going to vote today or you have voted. I'm
really enjoying. I am really enjoying reading these emails from
people and where they're voting, from Koontz to Paarland to
(20:24):
here's one in Tomball, Chris Trotter and tombol Angie Kercher
in West Gray. Let's see twenty minutes wait easy, lots
of cameras and crews. Crap. Didn't take a selfie at
voting place. But here was us last night at the
(20:45):
corn Concert. It's her and her man. I said, take
a selfie voting, So she says, well, I didn't take
a photo of voting, but here's us at the Corn concert.
That's cornwall A K Margaret voting in North Montgomery County
at the Community Center at seven oh six. Let's see
(21:08):
Hugh Durlham at the Cinco Ranch Library. Oh, that's a
nice longline right there. Steve Toath back up out to
the entrance of the parking lot. Montgomery County has to
overperform to make up for Harris County cheating. That's absolutely right.
Let's see. I sent an email to the Harris County
(21:29):
Republican Party. Never got a response. Not surprising. Spring Trails
Reserve voting location, Montgomery County. Let's see voting at Jones Ranch.
This is more men than women, which is kind of interesting. Actually,
(21:50):
Pat Boone is Red Savin's legendary country artist son in law.
Just looking at voting locations. All right, Jeff, you're on
the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Michael. I appreciate your show. Something that I noticed whenever
I was voting, I thought was kind of interesting is
they seem to put the Democrats on the right side
of the machines and the Republicans, if you will, on
the left side. And whenever I was voting, I kind
of noticed on the Democrat side there was the men
(22:27):
with man buns and women with pink hair, and on
the Republican side was a senior citizens. It was kind
of an obvious observation. A note about Pat Boone. I
heard when Pat Boone met Dean Martin and he shook
his hand, Dean Martin said that his arm shaking hands
(22:48):
sobered up.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It took me a second for Dean, for any part
of Dean Martin sober up. As saying something. I saw
a little documentary on Dean Martin that said one school
of thought is that Dean Martin was drunk and never
not drunk, just in a constant state of drunkeness. Another
(23:14):
said that that was all for show. Another theory was
that was all for show because it if he couldn't
think of something to say, or if he was feeling awkward,
it allowed him to put on a character and pretend
that he was drunk, and then whatever he said and
he laughed, everyone else laughed with him. I don't know.
(23:37):
I find that one harder to believe, but but maybe
maybe that's true. Let's go to Michael, Michael. You're on
the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, goodness, Michael, yep, mister
Barry ye yes.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Sir, yess I just been to finished looking right now?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
How old are you?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Forty two?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Forty two?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
When it comes to be economy, do you believe Americans
are better off than they were four years ago?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Mary so, I was raised as a middle class kid. Yes,
that's really Pat Boone, who made something of a comeback
in the nineties in his sixties in the nineteen nineties
doing covers of songs like inter San man Don writes Czar.
(24:38):
Pat Boone's wife is the daughter of country music legend
read Foley, not read Sovine. Now, what's interesting about this
email saying that read so Vine, which you were told
was Pat his daughter was Pat Boone's wife. Instead it
was read Foley. Don's last name is Skellelton, like Red Skelton.
(25:04):
I'm just saying there's something going on in the universe today.
There's a lot of crazy things coming in. Yep, Randy
says Red Foley, not Red so Vine, and then he
goes into Spanish onman, I can't read on the air.
All right, seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand.
(25:26):
Let's see Ed, Ed. You're on to Michael Berry show.
Go ahead, Sir Ed. I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe Ed's not there, maybe it's dead, baby is dead.
The phones are working, all right, We'll leave him up.
Let's go to Tyre on the west side. Tyree, okay, well,
(25:49):
Tyree should be to ease.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
No, it's only one e. It's no southern name. Uh
just want to touch face with you on two things. One,
Pat Boone is actually in the New Reagan movie. And secondly,
I just got through voting at the Weekly Center over
on Greenhouse on the West Side, and there's probably fifty
people in there voting, but I was in and out
(26:15):
in about fifteen months.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Is your name really Tyree?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yes, sir, Yeah, I don't know why I got to.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Wait. What happened?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
My mom got the name off of a tombstone.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Of a last name.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
It was like, now it is my great great grandfather's
middle name, and she just thought it was cool.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Spell it.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
T y r E.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well that's not even Tyree. His name was well, I
don't know if she got it off a tombstone. She
just read it and Tyree would it should be t
y r Ee? Maybe put an apostrophe somewhere in there.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
But now it's been Tyree. I've had a lot of
fun with it over the years.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh. I can imagine going to the d m V
and they come out and say, Tyree, where are you at? Tyree?
May over here, sir, we'll get to you in a minute.
I'm calling for Tyree.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
It has been a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Okay, give me give me one of the better stories.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Well, I'm actually a professional Santa Claus and I got
a call to do a party and they were like, okay,
we'd like your real name, and I told them and
they're like, we were looking for a white center.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
And we're not racist or nothing, but we really like
to keep our city Clause white. You know. We don't
mind living that y'all, maybe even going to church with y'all,
you know, playing football with you, but we like to
keep by our Santa Claus white. We could. You know.
Megan Kelly got in big trouble for that. You remember that, Yeah,
(28:12):
she was on She was on NBC, had a big
contract with NBC and they were trying to make Santa
Claus black and she said, you know, these people are
ruining everything. Santa Claus is white. It's a it's a
Danish Scandinavian tradition that the Christians brought in and you
(28:32):
know from the region at the time that he was
white and he's white and Santa Claus is white and
that's all there is to it. And oh man, they
got after her, but she's had quite a comeback. She's
done Welson sooner, Tyree, what's your middle name?
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Carl?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Carl with a cra a K see last name.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
All. I've heard everything from Tired Elephant. The things don't
won't repeat.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
But anyway, is it O L I P H A
N T. Yes, it is, that's oliphant am it, Tyrie?
You mispronounced everything wasn't wasn't wasn't Timothy Oliphant justified? Wasn't
he the.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
L y?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Oh? You're O L I?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Yeah, he's O L Y.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Where is that from?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Where?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Where's that name from?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Scotland? Scotland?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Actually that's a Scottish names.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Yeah, there's an elephant plan in north northern Scotland.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Very interest. What do you do for a living, tyree?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I'm an m r oh supplier. I'm basically as basic
as you can get. I sell him outs and bolts
to whom uh to all kinds of shops. I'm uh,
I say, maintenance supplies to anything from trucking companies to
building maintenance.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
And is this outside sales?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Yes it is. Wouldn't have it any other way?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
So do you just dial for dollars all day? How
do you do? You do? You appear at the front door?
What do you I.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Fear at the front door? I make cold calls. I
walk in, say hello, introduce myself company. I'm with a
company called Kimball Midwest. We've been in business for over
one hundred years and still family owned actually, and absolutely
love it. Go in show them how I can help
and build relationships all day long and how can you help, Well,
(30:39):
one is helping organize their shop so their mechanics or
their technicians can easier, more easily find things, clean it up.
You know, most of the time the bolt bends and
things like that are a mess, or the brass fittings
or a mess. I teach hydraul safety classes and how
(30:59):
to build hydraulic hoses and all that kind of stuff,
and just actually I love what I do. Between that,
that's value, and that's how the problem is solved.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
If people could understand, if you want to be successful
in anything, provide solutions. They think it's how long you
work or how hard you work. I hate that term
how hard you work. It's not how hard you work
or are perceived as working. It's not even necessarily the
(31:29):
consistency of your work unless you're on an assembly line.
It is the ability to provide solutions to problems. That
that therein is the value. Most people will never grasp that, Well,
how come you got so rich? He solved a problem
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air. Did you see
the video of the woman we ran out on the
(00:24):
field last night. She was described by one person as
having a big front porch. Yeah. She uh, she has
some large saddle bags and they were they weren't They
(00:45):
weren't tied down. They were moving around. I mean they
were flashing. Yes, I had only seen the video. She
runs out on the field about five yards from the
wide receivers and cornerbacks that are in that are kind
(01:06):
of in tight and she goes running out. She runs out.
I had only seen the video of her coming at you.
I've now seen video during the break front from the
stands in the end zone, and she just walks down
the aisle, gets to the front row and just steps
(01:28):
over the little gate that gets you onto the field
and starts running. And she's wearing boots with heels, like
knee high boots with heels, and she starts trotting along
and I see that may oh no, they're above her knees.
(01:50):
And so she's running with her sign up that says
Trump Secure Borders, Kamala Open Borders, and she's running right
up on them, past them, and she's looking over at
them like, y'all aren't looking at me. You don't seem
to see me. And then they look at her and
everyone is sort of dumbfounded. They're puzzled. It's weird, what
(02:14):
is happening. And as she's looking then the cops come
from on the sideline. I must confess that when people
do that, my favorite part is there is always the
most out of shape security guard. I think when they
when they have the cattle call for for this position,
(02:38):
they go, Nah, you're too thin. Nah, you like you've
run a mile within the last forty years. You over there, yep,
you you are morbidly obese. You've got a belly when
it looks like just gallons of water sloshing down. You know,
it's one thing when people are fat and there's some
(02:59):
you know, you get this sense if you pushed it,
it might push back a little. And then you get
these people. It's like it's like a hernia in there
that it opened up and it's just just a sack
of water. And so you get these guys. They just
got this huge belly flopped over and they've got to
(03:19):
chase the guy and it's usually this is a woman,
but it's usually a dude. And you can tell he's
having a lot of fun. He's always under the influence
because he had to do something to get himself ready
to go out on the field. The point at which
they start in on him and he starts juking them,
that is, to me the best part of the whole deal.
(03:43):
When he's because he's not gonna last much long, not
like he's gonna get away, but he's extending this as
long as possible, and they're in terrible shape. And I
must confess that is my absolute favorite. I love that
so much, absolutely love it. Tom. You're on the Michael
Berry Show. Tom, go ahead, sir.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, good morning, Michael. Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, I can hear you? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I just wanted to, you know, add on to what
your previous caller said. It's kind of frustrating to see
the ballot and not have the uh, not have choices
on every position and stuff. I'm out in Fort ben County.
I have voted this morning polling place I went to.
I was in and out, in and out in less
(04:29):
than ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And how many people would get on alto.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh, three or four. Oh, there were they were open
in the at the place I was at, there were
lots of open uh, voting machines.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Where were you? Where exactly was the voting location?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Jones Ranch on three point fifty nine?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Is that where you typically vote?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
When I vote early, it is because I head out
of state to go hunting.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, And did you talk to the other people in
line before you voted?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
There was no line?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay? Well you said there were three or four people
walked in? You literally walked up?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well there, yes, I literally walked up. I handed my
driver's license to the gal there. You know, there were
two people checking in and there was one other person,
so the position was open. I checked in and and
voted and was out of there.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
How old was the what you referred to as the
gal that you handed your ID too? Was she older
than seventy? Oh? No, how old?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
She's probably in her thirties.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh my goodness, they're restocking.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, there was there was a how would I say,
a broad range, broad range age of folks conducting the
business there.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Interesting, it's always really really really old women who are,
in my experience, almost always just sweethearts. Everywhere I've ever been,
and I like to vote in different places just to
do my own little study on what's going on. In
(06:20):
twenty twenty two, I voted at voted early. Where did
I vote? I ended up voting. I ended up voting
at Trinyman and Hall, which is kind of Spring Branch area.
But before that nothing, I went to vote together and
(06:43):
there was a very long line at We went over
to one of the villages. It was Hunter's Creek maybe,
and it was off of Beindhorn and there's a there's
a water down Unitarian. It's like a church without a
(07:06):
real church. I don't know why they call them. I
guess you get tax advantages, but it's like it's a
church where if someone screamed Jesus's Lord did say you're
at the wrong rally. And we got there to vote,
we go walking up. It was a very very long line,
and I did that thing where you're just trying to
(07:28):
see how long the line is because there's nothing worse.
Then you wait in line for an hour to get
around the corner, and then you rose. When you get
around the corner, oh there's another hour and a half.
So I go marching up all the way to the
front just to peak and see how long the line is.
And I realized it was too long a line. It
(07:48):
was about three forty five. I'm not going to make
it back by five o'clock, not if I wait in
this line. And there was the prettiest woman, just just
staggeringly beautiful. She was probably fifty years old, complete knockout,
(08:09):
wearing those boots we were talking about her owner the
stiletto boots. Dressed to the nines. She was very, very
out of place. I don't know what else to say.
Blonde hair, maybe she wasn't quite fifty minutes, little earlier
than that, made a little younger than that. But I said, hey,
I can't vote here. Is there somewhere else I can go?
And she told me, if you go to triny Minton Hall,
(08:32):
it'll take you fifteen minutes to get there. It didn't
take me quite that long. It'll take you fifteen minutes
to get there, and you'll be in and out in
ten minutes. And she was right, and that's what I did,
and I made it back. But she's the first one
I've ever seen. They had her out front. She was
like the Walmart roof. She was the first one I've
ever known under seventy years old. Ever this You've got
Tom Country, Michael Barry, we think sweet tea? We don't
(08:56):
you think so?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Leod Hollow your drinking.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
With that bluest blue Come on home, your adoved. I
got an email last week which I disregarded because it
was from a PR firm pitching a guest and I
didn't even look at who the guest was. I just
deleted it. And in this morning I scanned it and
(09:24):
they had highlighted or bolded the name Pat Boone and
it said, you know, Pep, would you like to have
a legendary musician Pat Boone on your show? I thought,
maybe I'm getting that confused. Pat Boone hasn't had a
song since before I was born. He can't be alive anymore.
(09:48):
He has released a powerful new song, Where Did America Go?
This heartfelt track calls on Americans to reflect on the
nation's current state and strive to reclaim the values that
wants to find it well. Truth is, most of these
songs that are designed for the moment about how bad
(10:10):
things are, and they'd be better off if they were
a parody. But they're all chasing that. Lee Greenwood, Stardust
and they're usually just terrible. But I had to look
him up and Pat Boone is still alive. He's ninety
years old, which you think, Oh, it's gonna like Jimmy
(10:33):
Carter trying to vote Willi's Willie's in his nineties and
he's still out there. Yeah, So I shortly answer is
I'm gonna have to interview him. He's Pat Boone. How
can you not? I had asked about working in McDonald's,
and I won't read all the emails. We'll get to
him in time, but I liked this one. She says.
(10:56):
My name is Carol. I started working at sixteen back
in nineteen teen seventy two as a counter person as
soon as the brand new McDonald's was opened on Fondering
between bel Air and fifty nine. I started at a
dollar ten an hour. I worked there through high school
and even college. When I came home for holidays in summer,
(11:16):
they had contests in the region. I have no idea
how many stores, but it was quite a few. They
had several positions that had competitions, grill cooks, fry cooks, counterpeople,
lobby hosts. I won a regional Customer Service award. We
were rated on the quality of our packaging of orders,
speed of service and accuracy of the order, and money
count of our drawer, and politeness of service. We had
(11:39):
to greet each customer with a smile, repeat the order
back for accuracy, attempt to upsell a dessert or side,
and thank them for the order. We were judged on
two given Saturday mornings. The points were tallied amongst other
counter people in the region, and I want a plaque
instilled in me the value of customer service that I
have used throughout my career. Kelly voted in Sugarland, Easy peasy.
(12:04):
I encourage everyone to vote. Kyle Mott voted with It.
Took the whole family to the Koot's Courthouse in Hardin
County to vote. They were there fifteen minutes before the
polls opened, and one hundred people in line. They funneled
in they got in to vote. Kelly said her husband
and her voted at Quell Valley Fund office in Montgomery County.
(12:27):
They were in line at seven twenty two and they
were done before the our show started. Remember the polls
are opening at seven am these days until seven pm.
James writes, I one hundred percent agree on the answer
is vote Montgomery County, New Caney in line at seven
photo before eight. Bonnie writes, I worked a subject line
(12:52):
best time and worst time to vote early. I worked
as a judge at early voting for the previous eight years.
The least busy time to vote is midweek or late
on Sunday. If possible, vote between nine and eleven, two
and four or after six. The worst state of votes
(13:13):
the last day. If you come at four pm or later,
you will find a long line. You know, I've come
to the conclusion, and I'm not mad about it. I
don't mean to suggest I think they're lesser people. A
lot of people just will never get their stuff straight
in their lives. Their lives are disordered, their lives are disheveled.
(13:38):
They lurch from one screw up to another, and they
don't realize that they are the pattern. Everything is late,
all the time. They're always late, which forces them to
drive like a maniac, which puts them into more trouble,
causes more problems for other people in themselves. Then they're
mad at everybody that they won't accept this late. They
(13:59):
couldn't late, the door wasn't there, the traffic was bad.
They're just people who never plan ahead, never make good decisions.
Doesn't mean they're complete failures in life, but they're people
for whom that pattern is there in everything they do.
That guy's gonna roll in, laid on and vote, Zora.
I witness morning in Kingwood and there was a pretty
(14:21):
good line waiting to get into the voting booth. Both
my wife and I voted for all the Republicans all
the way down the ballot. Yay us, Yeah, yay you
bred Bussy, Good on you. Megan Millis, Meghan Malice, You
remember Meghan? She says, good morning. My dad and I
are up here at the Pearland Library close to Dixie
Farm to vote early, and it is already packed. And
(14:43):
the time it took to get in line and take
this picture, about fifteen to twenty more people got in line,
and more are pulling up in droves. People are ready
to vote. They are ready to vote. Let's go to Debbie. Debbie,
you're old of Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Sit Hey, Michael. I heard a woman call in on
a Friday afternoon talk show and ask what does two
big to rig mean? And Doug Collins was the guest host,
and he didn't answer, and I got to thinking about it.
How can that be explained? Well, every state knows exactly
(15:25):
how many voters are registered. I think I heard Share
say we have eighteen million, seven hundred thousand registered voters
in Texas. If people don't use their vote, it can
be a form of identity theft because ballots can be
(15:49):
held in check that have already been filled out, and
they just every voter that doesn't go in and vote,
they put in this ballot the way they want to vote.
The Democrats or whoever's trying to cheat. So if people
don't get out and vote, your vote is going to
(16:11):
be stolen from you, your identity. So please people go vote,
use your precious right to vote.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
But Debbie, wouldn't it be better if, instead of actually
going to vote and doing something productive and being a
part of a solution, you just say you just continuously
read articles about voter fraud and then post about voter fraud,
and anytime someone brings up voting, you mentioned voter fraud
and how bad the voter fraud is. And anyone who
disagrees with you is not aware. They're just zombies and
(16:51):
you know more than they do. Wouldn't that be.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Better if your couch. Is that comfortable you go write
ahead and shut off exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You know, that's it. You know, I will ask people, well, okay,
I read your conspiracy email now, and by the way,
much of it is true. People will read about voter
fraud in Philadelphia, Detroit and not vote in Houston as
a result. And there again, my wife says, I have
(17:25):
to stop reading emails because it's making me crazy. There again,
this comes down to something that I never wanted to admit.
There are people who are stupid. There are people who
are their own worst enemy. There are people who cause
their own problems. They they're mad at Kamala and Obama,
but really they cause their own problems and they're not
(17:47):
going to vote, but they are going to talk, and
they're just going to suppress the vote. That's what they're
good at.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Everybody needs to be woke.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I just say more woke than less woke.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I just assume Pat Boone had written that song, biggest
hit arguably, but he didn't because Pat Boone was born
in nineteen thirty four, ninety years ago. Love Letters in
the Sand was first published as a song in nineteen
(18:25):
thirty one. It was a poem a fellow named Nick Kinney.
Red Koots read the poem in the New York Daily Mirror,
got his permission to set the poem to music, went
through four different melodies before settling on the published version
(18:48):
that we know today. The melody bears similarity to the
eighteen eighty one song the Spanish Cavalier. Lyrics credited to
both Nick Kenney and his brother Charles Kenny. It was
first recorded by Helen Rowland within a foxtrot played by
(19:12):
the Majestic Dance Orchestra, but it became quite popular in
nineteen fifty seven when our new friend Pat Boone recorded it.
There's a little old lady out there right now, Dare
I say? Probably quite a few? Who I just said foxtrot,
(19:40):
I said, Pat Boone. I said love letters in the sand.
And they're thinking, now, this is my kind of show.
This right here. All that other stuff y'all carried on
and all that, but this do more shows like this, Michael,
This is a good program. Ah love it. I love
(20:04):
my little old ladies. Where are my little old ladies?
I would like you to call up and tell me
you're going to vote today or you have voted. I'm
really enjoying. I am really enjoying reading these emails from
people and where they're voting, from Koontz to Paarland to
(20:24):
here's one in Tomball, Chris Trotter and tombol Angie Kercher
in West Gray. Let's see twenty minutes wait easy, lots
of cameras and crews. Crap. Didn't take a selfie at
voting place. But here was us last night at the
(20:45):
corn Concert. It's her and her man. I said, take
a selfie voting, So she says, well, I didn't take
a photo of voting, but here's us at the Corn concert.
That's cornwall A K Margaret voting in North Montgomery County
at the Community Center at seven oh six. Let's see
(21:08):
Hugh Durlham at the Cinco Ranch Library. Oh, that's a
nice longline right there. Steve Toath back up out to
the entrance of the parking lot. Montgomery County has to
overperform to make up for Harris County cheating. That's absolutely right.
Let's see. I sent an email to the Harris County
(21:29):
Republican Party. Never got a response. Not surprising. Spring Trails
Reserve voting location, Montgomery County. Let's see voting at Jones Ranch.
This is more men than women, which is kind of interesting. Actually,
(21:50):
Pat Boone is Red Savin's legendary country artist son in law.
Just looking at voting locations. All right, Jeff, you're on
the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Michael. I appreciate your show. Something that I noticed whenever
I was voting, I thought was kind of interesting is
they seem to put the Democrats on the right side
of the machines and the Republicans, if you will, on
the left side. And whenever I was voting, I kind
of noticed on the Democrat side there was the men
(22:27):
with man buns and women with pink hair, and on
the Republican side was a senior citizens. It was kind
of an obvious observation. A note about Pat Boone. I
heard when Pat Boone met Dean Martin and he shook
his hand, Dean Martin said that his arm shaking hands
(22:48):
sobered up.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
It took me a second for Dean, for any part
of Dean Martin sober up. As saying something. I saw
a little documentary on Dean Martin that said one school
of thought is that Dean Martin was drunk and never
not drunk, just in a constant state of drunkeness. Another
(23:14):
said that that was all for show. Another theory was
that was all for show because it if he couldn't
think of something to say, or if he was feeling awkward,
it allowed him to put on a character and pretend
that he was drunk, and then whatever he said and
he laughed, everyone else laughed with him. I don't know.
(23:37):
I find that one harder to believe, but but maybe
maybe that's true. Let's go to Michael, Michael. You're on
the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, goodness, Michael, yep, mister
Barry ye yes.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Sir, yess I just been to finished looking right now?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
How old are you?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Forty two?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Forty two?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
When it comes to be economy, do you believe Americans
are better off than they were four years ago?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Mary so, I was raised as a middle class kid. Yes,
that's really Pat Boone, who made something of a comeback
in the nineties in his sixties in the nineteen nineties
doing covers of songs like inter San man Don writes Czar.
(24:38):
Pat Boone's wife is the daughter of country music legend
read Foley, not read Sovine. Now, what's interesting about this
email saying that read so Vine, which you were told
was Pat his daughter was Pat Boone's wife. Instead it
was read Foley. Don's last name is Skellelton, like Red Skelton.
(25:04):
I'm just saying there's something going on in the universe today.
There's a lot of crazy things coming in. Yep, Randy
says Red Foley, not Red so Vine, and then he
goes into Spanish onman, I can't read on the air.
All right, seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand.
(25:26):
Let's see Ed, Ed. You're on to Michael Berry show.
Go ahead, Sir Ed. I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe Ed's not there, maybe it's dead, baby is dead.
The phones are working, all right, We'll leave him up.
Let's go to Tyre on the west side. Tyree, okay, well,
(25:49):
Tyree should be to ease.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
No, it's only one e. It's no southern name. Uh
just want to touch face with you on two things. One,
Pat Boone is actually in the New Reagan movie. And secondly,
I just got through voting at the Weekly Center over
on Greenhouse on the West Side, and there's probably fifty
people in there voting, but I was in and out
(26:15):
in about fifteen months.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Is your name really Tyree?
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yes, sir, Yeah, I don't know why I got to.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Wait. What happened?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
My mom got the name off of a tombstone.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Of a last name.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
It was like, now it is my great great grandfather's
middle name, and she just thought it was cool.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Spell it.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
T y r E.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Well that's not even Tyree. His name was well, I
don't know if she got it off a tombstone. She
just read it and Tyree would it should be t
y r Ee? Maybe put an apostrophe somewhere in there.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
But now it's been Tyree. I've had a lot of
fun with it over the years.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh. I can imagine going to the d m V
and they come out and say, Tyree, where are you at? Tyree?
May over here, sir, we'll get to you in a minute.
I'm calling for Tyree.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
It has been a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Okay, give me give me one of the better stories.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Well, I'm actually a professional Santa Claus and I got
a call to do a party and they were like, okay,
we'd like your real name, and I told them and
they're like, we were looking for a white center.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
And we're not racist or nothing, but we really like
to keep our city Clause white. You know. We don't
mind living that y'all, maybe even going to church with y'all,
you know, playing football with you, but we like to
keep by our Santa Claus white. We could. You know.
Megan Kelly got in big trouble for that. You remember that, Yeah,
(28:12):
she was on She was on NBC, had a big
contract with NBC and they were trying to make Santa
Claus black and she said, you know, these people are
ruining everything. Santa Claus is white. It's a it's a
Danish Scandinavian tradition that the Christians brought in and you
(28:32):
know from the region at the time that he was
white and he's white and Santa Claus is white and
that's all there is to it. And oh man, they
got after her, but she's had quite a comeback. She's
done Welson sooner, Tyree, what's your middle name?
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Carl?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Carl with a cra a K see last name.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
All. I've heard everything from Tired Elephant. The things don't
won't repeat.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
But anyway, is it O L I P H A
N T. Yes, it is, that's oliphant am it, Tyrie?
You mispronounced everything wasn't wasn't wasn't Timothy Oliphant justified? Wasn't
he the.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
L y?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Oh? You're O L I?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Yeah, he's O L Y.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Where is that from?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Where?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Where's that name from?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Scotland? Scotland?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Actually that's a Scottish names.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Yeah, there's an elephant plan in north northern Scotland.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Very interest. What do you do for a living, tyree?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I'm an m r oh supplier. I'm basically as basic
as you can get. I sell him outs and bolts
to whom uh to all kinds of shops. I'm uh,
I say, maintenance supplies to anything from trucking companies to
building maintenance.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
And is this outside sales?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Yes it is. Wouldn't have it any other way?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
So do you just dial for dollars all day? How
do you do? You do? You appear at the front door?
What do you I.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Fear at the front door? I make cold calls. I
walk in, say hello, introduce myself company. I'm with a
company called Kimball Midwest. We've been in business for over
one hundred years and still family owned actually, and absolutely
love it. Go in show them how I can help
and build relationships all day long and how can you help, Well,
(30:39):
one is helping organize their shop so their mechanics or
their technicians can easier, more easily find things, clean it up.
You know, most of the time the bolt bends and
things like that are a mess, or the brass fittings
or a mess. I teach hydraul safety classes and how
(30:59):
to build hydraulic hoses and all that kind of stuff,
and just actually I love what I do. Between that,
that's value, and that's how the problem is solved.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
If people could understand, if you want to be successful
in anything, provide solutions. They think it's how long you
work or how hard you work. I hate that term
how hard you work. It's not how hard you work
or are perceived as working. It's not even necessarily the
(31:29):
consistency of your work unless you're on an assembly line.
It is the ability to provide solutions to problems. That
that therein is the value. Most people will never grasp that, Well,
how come you got so rich? He solved a problem
