Speaker 1 (02:35):
That is the American dream. That is what we are
running too.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And that is what we get when we send Donald
Trump back to the White House.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I asked the question on Facebook last night, if you
were a doctor, what body part would you want to
focus on? So it was genuinely curious, and people had
different reasons, and most of the answer came back to
a body part with which they have trouble. There's one
person there's a lot of trouble his hands. He goes
(03:07):
to the hand doctor a lot. He'd like to be
a hand doctor. Several people, A lot of people said
heart doctor's cardiologists because they have heart issues. And it
brought me to the old question, ramon, what is the
most musical body part?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The most musical body part is the nose because you
can pick it or blow it. All Right, I have
a theory I've been working on, and we got to
get this. There's some big news in Houston, the Houston
area anyway, and then of course Donald Trump is full
(03:47):
steam ahead. So we've got new developments, we've got new appointments,
lots to get to. But I've been working on a theory.
Now I want you to I want you to lend
me your ear for a moment on this theory. So
for the last few weeks and maybe the whole season,
I just didn't notice it. Burger King has been the
(04:07):
primary sponsor of college football. I forget which of the networks,
let's say at CBS, doesn't matter, And so I'm sitting
there watching it and I'm always thinking, why are they saying?
What are they trying to accomplish with this? Are they're
trying to position their product in the marketplace? So they
(04:27):
trying to change their products image? In your mind? Are
they trying? You know? Because there was a strategy behind
what they're doing, and Burger King is spending all this
money and I don't know a single person that goes
to a Burger King, not one. We would come home
(04:49):
from the RCC and there was a Burger King at
about Fondred near Houston Baptist which is I guess now
a Houston Christian University, and on the right hand side,
so on the it's outside of fifty nine and about Fondering,
I think that was, or right before Fondering, there was
a Newish water Burger which fronted fifty nine, although off
(05:12):
the freeway a little bit, and it backed to a
Burger King, and the Burger King fronted the perpendicular street
and you would drive around the water Burger. Of course,
at that time I'd had a lot to drink and
Uncle Jerry was driving, and I would you know, I
was looking forward to you know, there's nothing like when
you I used it didn't eat dinner when I go
to the RCC and you have some drinks and that
(05:34):
kind of hungry is it is a delightful hungry. And
we'd turned the corner and I would look at that sad,
lonely drive through for the Burger King, and there would
never be a soul in it, and there would always
be some special going on, like you know, five hundred
and sixty nuggets for ten cents. It was just sad,
and I thought some poor Indian immigrant bought that franchise,
(05:58):
that dying franchise, and they're just losing money anyway. So
I said a year ago or so that I don't
know anybody that eats at Arby's. In a number of you,
mostly men, said I eat Arbies all the time. I
love it. And you told me when you eat there,
you know this is the day you ate. This was okay,
So I don't know. I don't know what everybody does,
(06:19):
but I don't know anybody that eats at Burger King,
and certainly not by choice. Now Burger King has been floundering.
I know this because they've tried every marketing approach over
the last few years, one of which was they they
got away from meat burgers. Remember they did the fake burger.
When you're a burger joint and you go, we serve
a burger that's not a burger, you're in trouble. We
(06:42):
talked about that. They've they've done the Dei thing, They've
tried every way to reposition themselves, but they've never stated
the claim eat here because our burger is good. Watch
and see. They never say, man is thin is good.
When I was a kid, I would ride in with
(07:04):
my mom on Thursdays, which was her grocery store day,
and I would ride into town with her for the soap.
I enjoyed spending time with her that days during the summer,
but the highlight was I would get to eat at
the Burger King on Sixteenth Street, which has since closed down.
And I loved the Burger King, and I thought they
had to I would see it on TV. They had
(07:24):
the flame broiled burger. I didn't even know what that meant. Man,
it was good, and that was my burger. We didn't
have water burgers. We had dairy Queen, but we didn't
eat dairy queen for the meal. Back then, we ate
dairy queen for the ice cream. Little did I know
what I was missing out on, but I loved Burger King.
(07:45):
And then somewhere along the way, I didn't eat a
Burger King for twenty five years, and sometime in my
forties I ate at Burger King. And I don't know
if they just ruined it or I had eaten better
burgers in the meantime, but I've never had a good
one since. Then aided a Burger King in Germany with
the kids a couple of years ago, and Michael t
said that they've even messed up burger king over here.
(08:07):
How can that happen? And it was terrible. But Burger
Kings push and they're spending a lot of money on this.
Their push is have it your way now. I think
this reflects a bigger cultural political tectonic shift that's serious.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
They're not saying my burger's any good. They haven't done
that long time. But I think that this reflects a
lot of what's going on in American society. The have
it your well. I'll explain in just a moment, and
then I don't want calls because we have to move on.
But if you have a thought on this, and if
you have a Burger King eating habit, send me an
(08:53):
email and.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Tell me true true national treasure.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Don't messing around. This is the Michael Barry Show. I've
in turned.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
And turned down when the bars clues that, but aways
getting back.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
With you.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well, listener Bobby sent me an email. I keep Tuesday.
That would disprove my theory. It's fifty year old burger
king commercial. Ramon, you got that, and the whole family
trundles out of the station wagon and they go in
and it's the family meal they're going to have. They
never put the fast food restaurants don't seem to push
(09:49):
that anymore. And maybe just because people don't use a
family I don't. I don't I think it's anyway, But
but they've they've apparently been using this slogan for a
long time. Have a jall away, have a joeyway, have
a jall way burgercing.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Man, help you, sir, two whoppers, two Opera Juniors, and
four Coca Cola.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And when I have to wait long if you hate
one whopper with no pickle and no lettuce, no.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Sirs, hold the pickle, hold the lettuce.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Special loaders don't upset us.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So we ask is that you let us.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Serve it your way?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Oh well, in that case, could I have the other
whopper with extra catchup?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Sure we can serve your broathy popper fresh with everything
on top of anyway you think is popper. Have a
job way.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now, that's the way to do things. Our way, have
your job away, have a joy.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Day burner game. So I would have been a little
kid when that came out, and I honestly don't remember.
Was it the case that you would go up there
and they would say, here's what you can get, take
it or leave it, but you're not going to put
(11:17):
a bunch of dunk do a bunch of other stuff
on it. Okay, you can have it this way. I
ate my burger meat, cheese, and bread. I didn't even
eat mayonnaise till I was probably thirty, so I was
pretty easy. They'd call it plain and dry with cheese,
and they still do to this day. So I didn't
(11:38):
realize until I received that that the habit your way
has been with them for a while. But when you've
got a massive marketing budget like that, it's not that
there's a continuity across fifty years. Is that you're choosing
that theme month after month because at any moment you
could pivot with a new idea. So for whatever, and
(12:01):
maybe for very different reasons, you view that to be
a good pitch today, Well, now here is do the
fifteen second spot five dollars duo web Burger King, Double
Love neighbors when hunger things Whoper Junia and Royal Krispy
Raps for lunch, linen, dinner or late night snack. K
(12:24):
heaving your way, you're what, what's the last line you rule? Okay, Okay,
that's the that's the crown theory, okay, or a little
crown they wear? All right? So, first of all, I
rejected premise. When did they become BK? When did they
(12:48):
just change the name. Remember McDonald's has kind of toyed
with the whole Mickey D's because they wanted to be cool,
but they've gone back to the traditional name. I would
love to see, and you know, you know this is
being studied, and it's pretty easy to study because you
go there's a lot of data out there. I would
love to see what trump scooping fries at the McDonald's
(13:12):
in Pennsylvania did for sales? What did it do for
sales the day it was announced he was going to
do it, which was like three days before. What did
it do that day? What to do the next day?
What did do a week later? And here we are
what six weeks la? I don't know how much later
we are now, but what has it done? And then
I'd like to see that in three months in a year.
(13:35):
Was there a residual? You know, did it did it buck?
Did it do a bump up? That was the new normal?
I don't know. It couldn't hurt. Then this weekend he's
on Uh Trump won with Elon, Robert F. Kennedy and
uh Donald jor and then there's Mike Johnson. He's not
(13:55):
sitting with them, so they go or I guess he said.
One of them says, hey, can I put my head
in here? Like I'm photobombing it. Nobody knows who that
goober is. Anyway, that was the point of the whole
show last night. But anyway, Robert F. Kennedy said, they
asked him about eating the fast food, like he's supposed
to be embarrassed, because if you say anything about health,
(14:17):
then people love to go, oh, you're eating a burger.
You you're supposed to be healthy. Yeah, it doesn't mean
you can. He said, I'd had a few beers and
I hadn't had anything to eat. I was starving, and
he pulls out a quarter pounder and I ate it.
He's not that complicated, but you know, they'll tell you
(14:38):
the number one dog in the country will go, you know,
like chihuahuas will go from being twenty fifth in sales
to number one if a chihuah was in a movie
with Paris Hilton and she's carrying it around in her purse.
This product placement in the life of Donald Trump has
got to be massive for McDonald's. And I don't I
(15:00):
know where McDonald's was in all of that. I know
that twenty years ago McDonald's gave up on white people
and completely focused on blacks. But I'll bet you this
has brought working class whites back to McDonald's. I don't
know to what numbers, but I guarantee you it's palpable,
it's measurable, it's significant, at least in the short term.
(15:22):
So back to their theme, the BK have it your way.
I'll leave aside the fact that, for whatever reason they
had to rebrand Dairy Queen did it with DQ Law
firms used to have three or four names that was
kind of a blue blood image, almost an English thing, right,
(15:42):
very reputable, very prestigious, and then they narrowed them down
to one name, full Bright and George Fulbright. They got
to where they were simplifying it, and that was kind
of a trend that you didn't go with all the
names anymore. In the fact, in the past the names
were supposed to, you know, contribute to. But here is
(16:06):
my theory. The habit your way have in your way
for them to stick with it is not just because
it was there before they could easily pivot. I think
what you're recognizing in every spect, in every aspect of
American life is is what Thomas Jefferson saw when he
(16:31):
went to France and he sought to pluralize, to democratize
the French people. He hoped that would happen, and he
saw the trends in the mindset and the writings that
the monarchy's time had passed. I know it's much ado
(16:54):
about nothing, but very smart people make these marketing campaigns.
Very smart people are doing polling and case studies. And
I think what you're recognizing is the idea that people
feel like ants, they feel like roaches, they feel like
(17:16):
they don't matter, they feel like peasants, and particularly the
people that are the target of Burger king. And if so,
you got your black voice, it's for your urban audience.
And then you've got your voice. It's supposed to be
a little more across the realm. That's your white people,
(17:36):
siren call. I think that what you're recognizing in this
was a big part of the Trump victory is whether
it's the deep state, whether it is authoritarianism, whether it
is wokeness DEI. I think they are tapping into the
mindset of people that we want some control of our lives.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Guide QC super Chef, mit them. Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Kind of sent you the street. Some dude writes me,
lights me up on the email. You're lying. You're just
sitting there telling lies. That's not true. Burger King came
up with have it your way because McDonalds wouldn't let
you change your order. They've been doing that for fifty years.
(18:27):
You're just telling lies. Well, I may be stating untruths,
but I'm not stating something that I know to be
untrue and passing it is the truth from when I
was four years old, I assure you. But back to
(18:51):
the original point, which I think is more interesting. When
you study the Dark Ages, or you study the Enlightenment,
the Renaissance, or the Renaissance the Rebirth, we speak offhandedly
(19:12):
of periods of time, some of which are hundreds of
years long, like going back to the Paleolithic Paleolithic phase.
But you don't mind doing that when it's thousands of
years ago, because it's not like three thousand and thirty
years ago the hula hoop came out and three twenty
(19:35):
years ago the hula hoop was gone. I mean, you
kind of kind of have to look back from a
macro perspective, and you might be off by one hundred
years or so. But when you begin to understand what's
going on in our country today, I think you will
(19:56):
see reflected in many aspects of our lives. And I
think you're going to see that in film and music
and media, and you've certainly seen it in politics, and
Trump has tapped into it. There is a there's a
feeling of helplessness and January sixth. People feel very differently
(20:25):
about January sixth today than they did January sixth of
twenty twenty one. I got a call January sixth, twenty
twenty one from one of the top people in our
company and said, you're going to talk about in the afternoon.
I said, you're going to talk about what's going on
(20:45):
right now? Right? And I said, no, I'm not a
breaking news show. You're not going to talk about that tonight. No,
your stations are going to be very upset if you
don't address it. And I said, and I still believe,
we don't know what's going on right now. Well they're
(21:12):
having a riot, they're doing this, they're doing this, And
I said, I don't believe that's what's happening. And it's
a dangerous thing to make a pronouncement that that is
happening if we don't know. Officers have a challenge when
(21:36):
they show up on a scene and they see some
guy shooting at people around a corner and he's locked
in and engaged. Is he the bad guy and those
are cops on the other side. Is he the bad
(21:56):
guy and those are victims on the other side. Is
he the good guy defending himself against the bad gas. Well,
we don't know. We only have a snapshot of what's
going on. So they can't just pull up and start
blasting at someone. And I think that that's what media
(22:18):
is very keen to do for reasons. They want to
smear those people. I think in that case, it was
all set up. But January sixth was designed to keep
Donald Trump from ever being able to run again. And
in order to do that, they had to make these
people out to be American Osama Bin Lawden's. They had
(22:42):
to make them out to be Timothy mcveaze and David Koresh's,
but they weren't. And it took time. But those of
us who never believed that felt frustrated. How can our
friends and neighbors go to prison? Nick Cercy kept making
movies about it, Books started coming out about it, and
(23:03):
they kept saying to Trump, do you regret? And he
would not say he did. People noticed that in ten
years down the line, most people will recognize, most people
will recognize, and that'll be six years from now that
that was a complete and utter setup, because when he
(23:25):
takes office and declassifies the documents, and you see how
many FBI agents had been sprinkled in there to create
what happened when you find out that Mayor Bowser said, nope,
we don't want any national Guard. We don't think there's
(23:46):
any problems, not at all, no problems. No, we definitely
that letter was sent over the afternoon before. You couldn't
send in the troops. She refused to accept them. How
did Nancy Pelosi that morning have a film crew that
was her mother and say we're gonna get him this time.
(24:08):
We're gonna get him today. Wait what, I thought we
were just certifying the vote. What are you talking about?
And Alexandria Castio Cortest saying that she was worried she
was going to be raped. Lady, you were a long
way away. It was all stage, it was all set up.
But the bigger picture is it was commoners. These weren't
(24:32):
political people that had been entrapped, so it was just
regular people like any of us that went to Washington.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
D C.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
They were giddy. They were walking around with their flag
and their pins and their red, white and blue and
singing God Bless America. And there they wandered into the Capitol.
And now their lives are ruined. They're sent to prison,
people without a single viilation on their record. I think
(25:04):
that what you witness out of all of this is
a sense of powerless powerlessness, a frustration of resentment and angst,
and the idea that that we're just we're in a
panopticon and they can send us to bed at any moment,
(25:24):
that we are prisoners in our own nation. That's what
I seen our lesson Burger commercial Love Disney productions. I
love Budd Dean, Joe, this has been race driver, Michael Barry,
funny Hacker. That's Ramon the King of Dean suggested for
general audiences. I don't want to debates, don't.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Want to hear who you hate.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
You won't get known of.
Speaker 3 (25:50):

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Did you watch matt I didn't watch Mattieva did I
didn't watch In Living Color either, But we use both
of those shows. Bits on the shows because it like Seinfeld,
which also didn't watch, they just nail certain situations perfectly.
Heather rights dere Zar love the show. Listening to you
(29:21):
talk about burger king made me laugh. I've been in
law enforcement for over thirty years. We generally tell our
subjects when they take too many requests, when they make
too many requests, this ain't burger king. You can't have
it your way. Bill writes to expand a bit on
the fifty year old campaign. McDonald's originally had pre made
burgers that had a dollop of ketchup and a dollop
(29:43):
of mustard and a pickle. If you wanted it different,
you had to place a grill order, which took more time.
So Burger King reacted to that with the have It
Your Way campaign. McDonald's has since abandoned the pre made menu,
but that was the genesis of the Burger King ads.
Dennis Rights, the slogan was in response to McDonald's policy
(30:08):
of having one way to fix everything, and it really
gummed up the works. If you asked for anything to
be made special, it slowed down the process, and they
let you know they were not happy. Gary Wrights. I
don't know about a spike in cells when Trump served fries,
but within a couple of days the Feds were all
over McDonald's on food safety complaints. Quote one person died
(30:32):
in quote headline coincidence. There are no coincidences, Czar. From
my memory, the habit your Way campaign came about because
at McDonald's you could not order your burger different. You
ordered a big Mac and you got it. How it
came Therefore, Burger King capitalized on that I hated McDonald's
as a kid because I didn't like mustard and catch
(30:53):
up on my burgers. Sixty one year old woman here,
Deborah and I was talking about shortening name to b
K and when that came about, and Carol wrote, dropping J. C.
Pennies down to JCP was one of the worst decisions ever.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Is J C.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Penny still around? Is JCP still around? That's one of
those brands that if you'd told me in the seventies
would not be around later, I would I would have
never guessed Chad sent to us as Chad is wont
to do a commercial he saw twenty years ago when
he went back to Hawaii that references Texas and of
(31:33):
course spam. This was in Hawaii and it's a Burger
King commercial. You won't find hula girls in Texas, and
you won't find the spam Chris sandwich made with eggs,
cheese and spam on a warm, flaky croissant only at
Burger King Hawaiian What The only thing I can guess
(32:00):
in Chad's proof of this is that the number one
demographic of visitors to Hawaii is Texas. I don't know
if that's true, but that was clearly targeted at a
Texas audience. And I don't know why else you would
pick Texas. You would assume it would be California because
(32:23):
the West Coast is so much closer to Hawaii to
Hawaii than Texas is. I really don't know why they
would do that, but I do love that they put
spam on there. That that that made me extremely happy.
I also noticed that Burger King buys the student section
(32:44):
out the way Taco Bell did last year, and then
they fill up the students. Say, you probably have to
go to Burger King to get the student section of tickets.
That's I really think. I just rather just buy my
ticket at that point, wouldn't you? And they were there
was one couple, one boy and one girl. They looked
like they were a couple, and they were wearing their
Burger King little Remember that when people would that was
the thing for a minute, they had a moment with
(33:06):
that that was it was a cheap little gimmick. Remember
when they went through the commercial where they had the guy,
the king guy in the robe and then but then
the big hat, the big head. I think that took
everybody back to their high school and their high school
theater director who was a pedophile. They were like, a
dude's creepy. I'm not going there. I might get diddled.
(33:27):
I think that was a terrible ad campaign. Remember they
would have during the games. They would have that that
that guy would be out on the field and he'd
be running around and you go arrest him, Arrest him.
He's a pedophile, Arrest him. They said, oh, you know what,
this this is not testing. Well, let's go back to
have it your way.
It's that time.

government standing in your way. What small, But it doesn't
mean that boys get to compete with girls and girls sports,
or you do genital mutilation and chemical castration on our children.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Why don't deliberate?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
These United States were the ones who need it the most.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
You get ahead in the United States with your own
hard work, your own commitment, your own dedication, and that
you know what you are free to speak your mind
at every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That is the American dream. That is what we are
running too.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And that is what we get when we send Donald
Trump back to the White House.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I asked the question on Facebook last night, if you
were a doctor, what body part would you want to
focus on? So it was genuinely curious, and people had
different reasons, and most of the answer came back to
a body part with which they have trouble. There's one
person there's a lot of trouble his hands. He goes
(03:07):
to the hand doctor a lot. He'd like to be
a hand doctor. Several people, A lot of people said
heart doctor's cardiologists because they have heart issues. And it
brought me to the old question, ramon, what is the
most musical body part?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The most musical body part is the nose because you
can pick it or blow it. All Right, I have
a theory I've been working on, and we got to
get this. There's some big news in Houston, the Houston
area anyway, and then of course Donald Trump is full
(03:47):
steam ahead. So we've got new developments, we've got new appointments,
lots to get to. But I've been working on a theory.
Now I want you to I want you to lend
me your ear for a moment on this theory. So
for the last few weeks and maybe the whole season,
I just didn't notice it. Burger King has been the
(04:07):
primary sponsor of college football. I forget which of the networks,
let's say at CBS, doesn't matter, And so I'm sitting
there watching it and I'm always thinking, why are they saying?
What are they trying to accomplish with this? Are they're
trying to position their product in the marketplace? So they
(04:27):
trying to change their products image? In your mind? Are
they trying? You know? Because there was a strategy behind
what they're doing, and Burger King is spending all this
money and I don't know a single person that goes
to a Burger King, not one. We would come home
(04:49):
from the RCC and there was a Burger King at
about Fondred near Houston Baptist which is I guess now
a Houston Christian University, and on the right hand side,
so on the it's outside of fifty nine and about Fondering,
I think that was, or right before Fondering, there was
a Newish water Burger which fronted fifty nine, although off
(05:12):
the freeway a little bit, and it backed to a
Burger King, and the Burger King fronted the perpendicular street
and you would drive around the water Burger. Of course,
at that time I'd had a lot to drink and
Uncle Jerry was driving, and I would you know, I
was looking forward to you know, there's nothing like when
you I used it didn't eat dinner when I go
to the RCC and you have some drinks and that
(05:34):
kind of hungry is it is a delightful hungry. And
we'd turned the corner and I would look at that sad,
lonely drive through for the Burger King, and there would
never be a soul in it, and there would always
be some special going on, like you know, five hundred
and sixty nuggets for ten cents. It was just sad,
and I thought some poor Indian immigrant bought that franchise,
(05:58):
that dying franchise, and they're just losing money anyway. So
I said a year ago or so that I don't
know anybody that eats at Arby's. In a number of you,
mostly men, said I eat Arbies all the time. I
love it. And you told me when you eat there,
you know this is the day you ate. This was okay,
So I don't know. I don't know what everybody does,
(06:19):
but I don't know anybody that eats at Burger King,
and certainly not by choice. Now Burger King has been floundering.
I know this because they've tried every marketing approach over
the last few years, one of which was they they
got away from meat burgers. Remember they did the fake burger.
When you're a burger joint and you go, we serve
a burger that's not a burger, you're in trouble. We
(06:42):
talked about that. They've they've done the Dei thing, They've
tried every way to reposition themselves, but they've never stated
the claim eat here because our burger is good. Watch
and see. They never say, man is thin is good.
When I was a kid, I would ride in with
(07:04):
my mom on Thursdays, which was her grocery store day,
and I would ride into town with her for the soap.
I enjoyed spending time with her that days during the summer,
but the highlight was I would get to eat at
the Burger King on Sixteenth Street, which has since closed down.
And I loved the Burger King, and I thought they
had to I would see it on TV. They had
(07:24):
the flame broiled burger. I didn't even know what that meant. Man,
it was good, and that was my burger. We didn't
have water burgers. We had dairy Queen, but we didn't
eat dairy queen for the meal. Back then, we ate
dairy queen for the ice cream. Little did I know
what I was missing out on, but I loved Burger King.
(07:45):
And then somewhere along the way, I didn't eat a
Burger King for twenty five years, and sometime in my
forties I ate at Burger King. And I don't know
if they just ruined it or I had eaten better
burgers in the meantime, but I've never had a good
one since. Then aided a Burger King in Germany with
the kids a couple of years ago, and Michael t
said that they've even messed up burger king over here.
(08:07):
How can that happen? And it was terrible. But Burger
Kings push and they're spending a lot of money on this.
Their push is have it your way now. I think
this reflects a bigger cultural political tectonic shift that's serious.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
They're not saying my burger's any good. They haven't done
that long time. But I think that this reflects a
lot of what's going on in American society. The have
it your well. I'll explain in just a moment, and
then I don't want calls because we have to move on.
But if you have a thought on this, and if
you have a Burger King eating habit, send me an
(08:53):
email and.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Tell me true true national treasure.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Don't messing around. This is the Michael Barry Show. I've
in turned.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
And turned down when the bars clues that, but aways
getting back.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
With you.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well, listener Bobby sent me an email. I keep Tuesday.
That would disprove my theory. It's fifty year old burger
king commercial. Ramon, you got that, and the whole family
trundles out of the station wagon and they go in
and it's the family meal they're going to have. They
never put the fast food restaurants don't seem to push
(09:49):
that anymore. And maybe just because people don't use a
family I don't. I don't I think it's anyway, But
but they've they've apparently been using this slogan for a
long time. Have a jall away, have a joeyway, have
a jall way burgercing.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Man, help you, sir, two whoppers, two Opera Juniors, and
four Coca Cola.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And when I have to wait long if you hate
one whopper with no pickle and no lettuce, no.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Sirs, hold the pickle, hold the lettuce.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Special loaders don't upset us.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So we ask is that you let us.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Serve it your way?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Oh well, in that case, could I have the other
whopper with extra catchup?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Sure we can serve your broathy popper fresh with everything
on top of anyway you think is popper. Have a
job way.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now, that's the way to do things. Our way, have
your job away, have a joy.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Day burner game. So I would have been a little
kid when that came out, and I honestly don't remember.
Was it the case that you would go up there
and they would say, here's what you can get, take
it or leave it, but you're not going to put
(11:17):
a bunch of dunk do a bunch of other stuff
on it. Okay, you can have it this way. I
ate my burger meat, cheese, and bread. I didn't even
eat mayonnaise till I was probably thirty, so I was
pretty easy. They'd call it plain and dry with cheese,
and they still do to this day. So I didn't
(11:38):
realize until I received that that the habit your way
has been with them for a while. But when you've
got a massive marketing budget like that, it's not that
there's a continuity across fifty years. Is that you're choosing
that theme month after month because at any moment you
could pivot with a new idea. So for whatever, and
(12:01):
maybe for very different reasons, you view that to be
a good pitch today, Well, now here is do the
fifteen second spot five dollars duo web Burger King, Double
Love neighbors when hunger things Whoper Junia and Royal Krispy
Raps for lunch, linen, dinner or late night snack. K
(12:24):
heaving your way, you're what, what's the last line you rule? Okay, Okay,
that's the that's the crown theory, okay, or a little
crown they wear? All right? So, first of all, I
rejected premise. When did they become BK? When did they
(12:48):
just change the name. Remember McDonald's has kind of toyed
with the whole Mickey D's because they wanted to be cool,
but they've gone back to the traditional name. I would
love to see, and you know, you know this is
being studied, and it's pretty easy to study because you
go there's a lot of data out there. I would
love to see what trump scooping fries at the McDonald's
(13:12):
in Pennsylvania did for sales? What did it do for
sales the day it was announced he was going to
do it, which was like three days before. What did
it do that day? What to do the next day?
What did do a week later? And here we are
what six weeks la? I don't know how much later
we are now, but what has it done? And then
I'd like to see that in three months in a year.
(13:35):
Was there a residual? You know, did it did it buck?
Did it do a bump up? That was the new normal?
I don't know. It couldn't hurt. Then this weekend he's
on Uh Trump won with Elon, Robert F. Kennedy and
uh Donald jor and then there's Mike Johnson. He's not
(13:55):
sitting with them, so they go or I guess he said.
One of them says, hey, can I put my head
in here? Like I'm photobombing it. Nobody knows who that
goober is. Anyway, that was the point of the whole
show last night. But anyway, Robert F. Kennedy said, they
asked him about eating the fast food, like he's supposed
to be embarrassed, because if you say anything about health,
(14:17):
then people love to go, oh, you're eating a burger.
You you're supposed to be healthy. Yeah, it doesn't mean
you can. He said, I'd had a few beers and
I hadn't had anything to eat. I was starving, and
he pulls out a quarter pounder and I ate it.
He's not that complicated, but you know, they'll tell you
(14:38):
the number one dog in the country will go, you know,
like chihuahuas will go from being twenty fifth in sales
to number one if a chihuah was in a movie
with Paris Hilton and she's carrying it around in her purse.
This product placement in the life of Donald Trump has
got to be massive for McDonald's. And I don't I
(15:00):
know where McDonald's was in all of that. I know
that twenty years ago McDonald's gave up on white people
and completely focused on blacks. But I'll bet you this
has brought working class whites back to McDonald's. I don't
know to what numbers, but I guarantee you it's palpable,
it's measurable, it's significant, at least in the short term.
(15:22):
So back to their theme, the BK have it your way.
I'll leave aside the fact that, for whatever reason they
had to rebrand Dairy Queen did it with DQ Law
firms used to have three or four names that was
kind of a blue blood image, almost an English thing, right,
(15:42):
very reputable, very prestigious, and then they narrowed them down
to one name, full Bright and George Fulbright. They got
to where they were simplifying it, and that was kind
of a trend that you didn't go with all the
names anymore. In the fact, in the past the names
were supposed to, you know, contribute to. But here is
(16:06):
my theory. The habit your way have in your way
for them to stick with it is not just because
it was there before they could easily pivot. I think
what you're recognizing in every spect, in every aspect of
American life is is what Thomas Jefferson saw when he
(16:31):
went to France and he sought to pluralize, to democratize
the French people. He hoped that would happen, and he
saw the trends in the mindset and the writings that
the monarchy's time had passed. I know it's much ado
(16:54):
about nothing, but very smart people make these marketing campaigns.
Very smart people are doing polling and case studies. And
I think what you're recognizing is the idea that people
feel like ants, they feel like roaches, they feel like
(17:16):
they don't matter, they feel like peasants, and particularly the
people that are the target of Burger king. And if so,
you got your black voice, it's for your urban audience.
And then you've got your voice. It's supposed to be
a little more across the realm. That's your white people,
(17:36):
siren call. I think that what you're recognizing in this
was a big part of the Trump victory is whether
it's the deep state, whether it is authoritarianism, whether it
is wokeness DEI. I think they are tapping into the
mindset of people that we want some control of our lives.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Guide QC super Chef, mit them. Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Kind of sent you the street. Some dude writes me,
lights me up on the email. You're lying. You're just
sitting there telling lies. That's not true. Burger King came
up with have it your way because McDonalds wouldn't let
you change your order. They've been doing that for fifty years.
(18:27):
You're just telling lies. Well, I may be stating untruths,
but I'm not stating something that I know to be
untrue and passing it is the truth from when I
was four years old, I assure you. But back to
(18:51):
the original point, which I think is more interesting. When
you study the Dark Ages, or you study the Enlightenment,
the Renaissance, or the Renaissance the Rebirth, we speak offhandedly
(19:12):
of periods of time, some of which are hundreds of
years long, like going back to the Paleolithic Paleolithic phase.
But you don't mind doing that when it's thousands of
years ago, because it's not like three thousand and thirty
years ago the hula hoop came out and three twenty
(19:35):
years ago the hula hoop was gone. I mean, you
kind of kind of have to look back from a
macro perspective, and you might be off by one hundred
years or so. But when you begin to understand what's
going on in our country today, I think you will
(19:56):
see reflected in many aspects of our lives. And I
think you're going to see that in film and music
and media, and you've certainly seen it in politics, and
Trump has tapped into it. There is a there's a
feeling of helplessness and January sixth. People feel very differently
(20:25):
about January sixth today than they did January sixth of
twenty twenty one. I got a call January sixth, twenty
twenty one from one of the top people in our
company and said, you're going to talk about in the afternoon.
I said, you're going to talk about what's going on
(20:45):
right now? Right? And I said, no, I'm not a
breaking news show. You're not going to talk about that tonight. No,
your stations are going to be very upset if you
don't address it. And I said, and I still believe,
we don't know what's going on right now. Well they're
(21:12):
having a riot, they're doing this, they're doing this, And
I said, I don't believe that's what's happening. And it's
a dangerous thing to make a pronouncement that that is
happening if we don't know. Officers have a challenge when
(21:36):
they show up on a scene and they see some
guy shooting at people around a corner and he's locked
in and engaged. Is he the bad guy and those
are cops on the other side. Is he the bad
(21:56):
guy and those are victims on the other side. Is
he the good guy defending himself against the bad gas. Well,
we don't know. We only have a snapshot of what's
going on. So they can't just pull up and start
blasting at someone. And I think that that's what media
(22:18):
is very keen to do for reasons. They want to
smear those people. I think in that case, it was
all set up. But January sixth was designed to keep
Donald Trump from ever being able to run again. And
in order to do that, they had to make these
people out to be American Osama Bin Lawden's. They had
(22:42):
to make them out to be Timothy mcveaze and David Koresh's,
but they weren't. And it took time. But those of
us who never believed that felt frustrated. How can our
friends and neighbors go to prison? Nick Cercy kept making
movies about it, Books started coming out about it, and
(23:03):
they kept saying to Trump, do you regret? And he
would not say he did. People noticed that in ten
years down the line, most people will recognize, most people
will recognize, and that'll be six years from now that
that was a complete and utter setup, because when he
(23:25):
takes office and declassifies the documents, and you see how
many FBI agents had been sprinkled in there to create
what happened when you find out that Mayor Bowser said, nope,
we don't want any national Guard. We don't think there's
(23:46):
any problems, not at all, no problems. No, we definitely
that letter was sent over the afternoon before. You couldn't
send in the troops. She refused to accept them. How
did Nancy Pelosi that morning have a film crew that
was her mother and say we're gonna get him this time.
(24:08):
We're gonna get him today. Wait what, I thought we
were just certifying the vote. What are you talking about?
And Alexandria Castio Cortest saying that she was worried she
was going to be raped. Lady, you were a long
way away. It was all stage, it was all set up.
But the bigger picture is it was commoners. These weren't
(24:32):
political people that had been entrapped, so it was just
regular people like any of us that went to Washington.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
D C.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
They were giddy. They were walking around with their flag
and their pins and their red, white and blue and
singing God Bless America. And there they wandered into the Capitol.
And now their lives are ruined. They're sent to prison,
people without a single viilation on their record. I think
(25:04):
that what you witness out of all of this is
a sense of powerless powerlessness, a frustration of resentment and angst,
and the idea that that we're just we're in a
panopticon and they can send us to bed at any moment,
(25:24):
that we are prisoners in our own nation. That's what
I seen our lesson Burger commercial Love Disney productions. I
love Budd Dean, Joe, this has been race driver, Michael Barry,
funny Hacker. That's Ramon the King of Dean suggested for
general audiences. I don't want to debates, don't.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Want to hear who you hate.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
You won't get known of.

many times I have to tell you cannot call security

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yes, that's what I had said.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
No, okay, you're right to me.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
You can say.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
If you give him me, we're gonna do it out.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Did you watch matt I didn't watch Mattieva did I
didn't watch In Living Color either, But we use both
of those shows. Bits on the shows because it like Seinfeld,
which also didn't watch, they just nail certain situations perfectly.
Heather rights dere Zar love the show. Listening to you
(29:21):
talk about burger king made me laugh. I've been in
law enforcement for over thirty years. We generally tell our
subjects when they take too many requests, when they make
too many requests, this ain't burger king. You can't have
it your way. Bill writes to expand a bit on
the fifty year old campaign. McDonald's originally had pre made
burgers that had a dollop of ketchup and a dollop
(29:43):
of mustard and a pickle. If you wanted it different,
you had to place a grill order, which took more time.
So Burger King reacted to that with the have It
Your Way campaign. McDonald's has since abandoned the pre made menu,
but that was the genesis of the Burger King ads.
Dennis Rights, the slogan was in response to McDonald's policy
(30:08):
of having one way to fix everything, and it really
gummed up the works. If you asked for anything to
be made special, it slowed down the process, and they
let you know they were not happy. Gary Wrights. I
don't know about a spike in cells when Trump served fries,
but within a couple of days the Feds were all
over McDonald's on food safety complaints. Quote one person died
(30:32):
in quote headline coincidence. There are no coincidences, Czar. From
my memory, the habit your Way campaign came about because
at McDonald's you could not order your burger different. You
ordered a big Mac and you got it. How it
came Therefore, Burger King capitalized on that I hated McDonald's
as a kid because I didn't like mustard and catch
(30:53):
up on my burgers. Sixty one year old woman here,
Deborah and I was talking about shortening name to b
K and when that came about, and Carol wrote, dropping J. C.
Pennies down to JCP was one of the worst decisions ever.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Is J C.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Penny still around? Is JCP still around? That's one of
those brands that if you'd told me in the seventies
would not be around later, I would I would have
never guessed Chad sent to us as Chad is wont
to do a commercial he saw twenty years ago when
he went back to Hawaii that references Texas and of
(31:33):
course spam. This was in Hawaii and it's a Burger
King commercial. You won't find hula girls in Texas, and
you won't find the spam Chris sandwich made with eggs,
cheese and spam on a warm, flaky croissant only at
Burger King Hawaiian What The only thing I can guess
(32:00):
in Chad's proof of this is that the number one
demographic of visitors to Hawaii is Texas. I don't know
if that's true, but that was clearly targeted at a
Texas audience. And I don't know why else you would
pick Texas. You would assume it would be California because
(32:23):
the West Coast is so much closer to Hawaii to
Hawaii than Texas is. I really don't know why they
would do that, but I do love that they put
spam on there. That that that made me extremely happy.
I also noticed that Burger King buys the student section
(32:44):
out the way Taco Bell did last year, and then
they fill up the students. Say, you probably have to
go to Burger King to get the student section of tickets.
That's I really think. I just rather just buy my
ticket at that point, wouldn't you? And they were there
was one couple, one boy and one girl. They looked
like they were a couple, and they were wearing their
Burger King little Remember that when people would that was
the thing for a minute, they had a moment with
(33:06):
that that was it was a cheap little gimmick. Remember
when they went through the commercial where they had the guy,
the king guy in the robe and then but then
the big hat, the big head. I think that took
everybody back to their high school and their high school
theater director who was a pedophile. They were like, a
dude's creepy. I'm not going there. I might get diddled.
(33:27):
I think that was a terrible ad campaign. Remember they
would have during the games. They would have that that
that guy would be out on the field and he'd
be running around and you go arrest him, Arrest him.
He's a pedophile, Arrest him. They said, oh, you know what,
this this is not testing. Well, let's go back to
have it your way.
