Speaker 1 (00:00):
If it's the birthday of Edwin Hawkins. He didn't write
the song, though it began as a hymn written way
back in the mid eighteenth century by English clergyman Philip Doddridge.
Based on the verse Acts eight thirty five. The line

(00:22):
originally was oh happy day that fixed my choice. It
was set to a seventeen four melody by J. A. Freilinghausen.
By the mid nineteenth century, it had been given a
new melody by Edward F. Rimbaul, who also added a chorus,
and was commonly used for baptismal or confirmation ceremonies. Edwin

(00:46):
Hawkins changed the time signature from three four to four
four time, and his new arrangement contains only the repeated
Rimball refrain, with all of the original verses being omen.
Hawkins rearranged the hymn to give it more of a
gospel feel and devised a piano introduction, which he said

(01:07):
was influenced by the music of Sergio Mendez. When the
choir made the famous recording that we use here on
the show in nineteen sixty seven, lead singer Dorothy Morrison
added some lyrical improvisations influenced by James Brown, which she said,

(01:28):
made the song feel even more current. Hawkins arrangement quickly
became a standard and has been recorded by hundreds of artists.
It was included on THEAA Songs of the Centuries list,
and it won Edwin Hawkins a Grammy Award for Best
Soul Gospel Performance. In nineteen seventy, it made it all

(01:49):
the way up to number four on the Billboard Hot
one hundred a gospel song, making it into a secular
chart is something, but making it all the way up
to number four, it's amazing. It wasn't just popular here
in America, it was wildly popular around the world. George
Harrison has said the song was a primary inspiration in

(02:09):
the writing of his nineteen seventy single My Sweet Lord.
It's an amazing song and the perfect way to kick
off our fridays, and that's why we do. It. Regrounds
me and hopefully it recenters you as well.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Wait a minute, Michael Barry Show continues.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
You're wired, like I am at your age, to hear
the song hot for Teacher, and you automatically think there's
going to be a story about a trust between a
male student and a hot, relatively young high school teacher.
You think that we're talking about this story just so

(04:34):
we can tell you about teacher Mingle.

Speaker 8 (04:37):
Are you a lonely, single professional educator with a forbidden desire?

Speaker 7 (04:41):
Late at night, I would lay in my bed and
close my eyes and think of him. I always knew
that Bryce was out there, but I never knew he
was also interested in me.

Speaker 8 (04:51):
Or maybe you're a horny underage student that has a
crush on his teacher.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh, it's pretty much down to bone from day one.

Speaker 8 (04:57):
Maybe you're just tired of wondering.

Speaker 7 (05:00):
I needed someone to satisfy my deepest needs and yearnings,
both physical and intellectual. I couldn't wait anymore. I had
to be with them.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
She's huge knockers.

Speaker 8 (05:10):
Then maybe you're ready for teachermingle dot com.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
I had to be discreet. That's why I got onto
teachermingle dot com, the number one dating site for teachers
to meet their students online in a safe environment.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Are you surely use Facebook? But I found out my
geography teacher was on a dating site. So I logged
onto teachermingle dot com and there is miss Jones. Now
we do it.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
It's awesome, teachermingle dot com. It's not for everyone. It's
for attractive, lonely female teachers who want to date their
horny underage students. Seriously, even we can't believe this keeps happening.
Teachermingle dot com, Come get some extra credit.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well that's not the plot line here exactly, but it
does involve an elementary school principle doctor Dana Simmons having
an affair with the pe teacher. I guess you could
call him a coach Dylan Charles, And you're asking, Zar,
why is this news? They are grown men and women.

(06:14):
They can port whoever they want, whenever they want. True.
But there's more to this story than just knocking boots.
They were doing more than just clapping erasers. That's what
makes this a Signs and Wonders segment.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
It's all the damn money in time, money in the drugs.
It's just damping beyond different things. What's it mean?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
What's it leading to?

Speaker 5 (06:58):
I don't know. If you'd have told me twenty years
ago i'd see children walk in the streets of Art
Texas towns with the green hair bones in their noses,
it flat out wouldn't have bleak Signs and wonders.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
But I think once you quit here in, sir and ma'am,
rest of them to follow.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Oh, it's the tad. It's the digital pad. It is
not the one that one point.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
Signs and wonder, Sir, maim masters.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
Signs and wonders. It's the digital signs and wonders, Signs
and wonders.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
All right, folks buckle up for this. One credit goes
to Fox five in Atlanta.

Speaker 10 (07:41):
Three North Georgia elementary school educators are now off the
job after an investigation into unethical behavior. They resign following
an independent internal review that said there was conclusive evidence
of misconducts.

Speaker 8 (07:53):
Fox Haye Tyler fingered has been looking into this for days.

Speaker 11 (07:56):
He is in Banks County tonight with the information just
released by school officials.

Speaker 9 (08:01):
Banks County Elementary is a placement for learning, but this
new Board of Education report shows more has gone.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
On within its walls.

Speaker 9 (08:11):
State investigators are now looking into alleged sexual misconduct on
the campus of Banks County Elementary School. It comes after
the release of this five page Banks County Board of
Education investigative report, which details a years long alleged affair
between the principal and a PE teacher that.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Have never happened. A show's pod judgment.

Speaker 9 (08:30):
Verdilia Turner is reacting to the report released to Fox five.
She's the president of the Georgia Federation of Teachers. The
report says, not only is their evidence to prove the
relationship between Banks County Elementary School principal, doctor Dana Simmons
and PE teacher Dylan Charles, but there's a photo that
shows inappropriate sexual activity happened on campus.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Sacred ground. As far as will concern, is a school
and the misconduct should not have happened. There shouldn't happened
at all.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
The report says.

Speaker 9 (08:59):
Charles admitted he and Simmons routinely use the school to
meet and engage in sexual activities, something Simmons denies. School
officials confirmed both Simmons and Charles have resigned following the investigation.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Our civil service must be squeaky clean. They should be
squeaky clean, and our conduct and laurels extremely high.

Speaker 9 (09:20):
The Banks County Superintendent, Anne Hopkins denied our requests for
an interview, but said Fox five a statement that reads,
in part quote, upon receiving allegations involving the matter at hand,
the district immediately hired independent investigators to conduct an investigation
and provide a report of findings end quote. The school
system says law enforcement reviewed the case for evidence of

(09:41):
criminal activity, but none was found. According to Banks News Today,
a third employee resigned Wednesday. She's identified as Kelsey Charles,
a third grade teacher at the school. According to the
Board of Education report, She's married to Dylan Charles and
told investigators she recorded sexual encounters between her husband and Simmons.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
This is just another warning to everybody to use your
head and respect those colds.

Speaker 9 (10:06):
I reached out to the people involved, but didn't hear back.
The Professional Standards Commission, which certifies teachers and Georgia, says
that they have received reports on both educators and are
now investigating in Banks County, Tyler Fingers, Fox five.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
News, I bet you didn't see that twist coming. The
pe teacher's wife was recording him bonking the principle and
not recording him against his wishes, not recording him to
make a case for divorce court. Nope, she's freaky.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
She liked it.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
She said, honey, will you go bone doctor Dana in
the school bathroom so I can record it? What you
do with these videos? Did you sell them on the internet?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Nope? Nope.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Maybe she directed her your own little stag films. Dylan,
you've been a bad pee teacher and you have to
stay after school to meet with your boss, doctor Dana,
the elementary school principal. Can I just call you Dana?

(11:20):
I think we're pretty familiar at this point.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Here we are and gets back.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Thanks, Dana, you're a real bald busterer of boss. You
say that you should fire him, but maybe be able
to make amends. Dylan, you protest, but she's just too
hot for you to resist. And she is, after all,

(11:47):
the elementary school principal. That's the scene now action, and
you know who the real losers are. The real losers
are the kids now they have to answer to a
substuce teacher until they get a permanent replacement. You know
what that means.

Speaker 11 (12:03):
I tour school for twenty years in the inner city,
So don't even think about messing with me. Y'all feel me?

Speaker 12 (12:11):
Okay, let's take a role here, Jake Quailin, where's Jake quiling?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
That?

Speaker 11 (12:18):
No Jake qualling here?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (12:22):
Do you mean Jacqueline?

Speaker 12 (12:24):
Okay, so that's how it's gonna be. Y'all want to play? Okay,
then I've cot my eye on you. Jake quallon Blocke?
Where is Blockey at? No Blocke here today? Yess sir, my.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Name is Blake.

Speaker 12 (12:39):
Are you out of your band mind?

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Lake?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
What do you want to go to war? Blockey?

Speaker 11 (12:45):
Because we could go to war No, I'm the real
I'm threell Timothy Present, thank you, run Away.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
Crime and government ruption top the list of voter concerns.

Speaker 9 (13:02):
I think he.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
Michael President. That's scary to me.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
That's scary to me. And Ohio man told named Darren
Glens looks like job of the Hut fat. He's thirty
one and I don't know how you get this fat dissertance.

(13:32):
But now he goes by the name Rachel, and Rachel
likes to go to the YMCA, and while there he
likes to go to the ladies locker room. Does Rachel?
There had been several complaints going back the last two

(13:53):
years to the staff of the BYMCA of a man
butt naked in the ladies locker room. One woman said
she was horrified when she heard a man's voice in

(14:13):
the locker room while she was changing. The staff told her,
don't worry. It's fine because Darren. It's now Rachel, so
you don't need to be disturbed. Darren is Rachel. You
got nothing to worry about. Does he have a penis?

(14:37):
Is that Nancy Grace, you're a goober? Does he have
a penis? I'm getting to that spoiler alert. Yes. Another
complaint said that three juveniles were present little girls when
Rachel exposed her elf.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Does he have a penis?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah? The dangler was seen, a legal complaint was fouled,
So this would be indecent exposure up until the world
went crazy and Rachel was charged within decent exposure, he
couldn't be charged with trespassing. See, Rachel had permission from

(15:28):
the Ohio YMCA to use the ladies' facilities, so as
a permittee, he was authorized by them to be in
the lady's restroom in much the same way that you
could authorize a custodian. So the case goes before the

(15:52):
judge because he drops trou in front of these girls,
And after hearing the facts the case, the judge cleared
Rachel of the charges.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Does he have a penis?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yes, Rachel has a penis. That fact was not in dispute.
It wasn't offered up. There wasn't a check done. But
here was the interesting defense. Rachel's lawyers said that he

(16:32):
didn't expose himself. You ready for this because he's so
fat that you can't see his penis. Yep. The judge
took a look at job of the hut Rachel and said,
ain't no way you can see this woman's penis so

(16:57):
there he is butt naked in his birthday suit for
the whole world to see. And these young girls walk
in and he said, dog, it's just my waiter. They
go running out, which they're supposed to do, and tell
an adult, and eventually the authorities are called, probably not

(17:22):
by the staff at the YMCA. In this case goes
to court. And now you're saying, eh, not actually a
crime because Rachel is so fat, so freaking fat, that
you can't see as wiener him being completely neked. As

(17:46):
of note, he's technically clothed in rolls of fat. Think
about this from one Now you know what's going to happen.
The next girl this happens too, is going to have
a dad who's active in her life and her mom
is not going to hide this fact from him. And

(18:09):
how do you think he's going to react. And then
we'll have stories of transphobia, because you don't want some big, fat,
disgusting man showing his dangler to your daughter. And that's
gonna happen. You think Darren goes by Rachel when he
eats salads. I know he's so fat, he probably never

(18:33):
ate a salad. Maybe he has chicken frying, steak smothered
and gravy as Darren. But when he's Rachel, he eats
a salad. I'm sure Rachel is embarrassed that he can't
see his lady Penis. Oh you're right. Oh he's been
going by Rachel for years. Okay, I didn't know. Well,

(18:54):
I can tell you that there's no chance he goes
to the buffet and eats a.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
And then we just let people make them feel bad.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
For instance, like I love going to buffets, obviously, and
I hate it when I go to a buffet and
I see a fat person putting saladis on his plate.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Stop playing.

Speaker 13 (19:16):
You didn't get this fat from eating salad. You looking
at the real food, sweating and breathing hard. Just I
want some cake, but everybody looking at me, not me.
I go to a buffet and I kick the dope

(19:37):
be and like I'm the police. I'm like, I have
a warrant for those biscuits.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
When I go to a buffair, I'm all happy. I'm
skipping and singing it. I'm singing a ballot because I'm
about to make sweet love to this buffet.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Buffet, baby buffet.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's gonna be like the end of a Boy's To
Me An album. I'm just talking to the buffet, like, hey, girl,
you're looking real good.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
You're listening to Lord just my waiter, Michael Berry's show.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
You've all heard of the reference to the slippery slope, right.
I was reading a report yesterday in a medical journal
that said that cigarettes are a gateway to more powerful drugs,
and it's not. There are lots of there's been lots

(20:34):
of study of this over the years. But one of
the reasons they find that to be the case, I'm sorry,
not cigarettes marijuana is that it opens up receptors to addiction. Now,
I don't believe that marijuana should be illegal. You're free

(20:57):
to disagree with me. You're free to think I'm a
horrible person, and that's fine, and you're free to think, well,
the only thinks that because he's a user. I'm not
a user. I have tried it, but it didn't do
anything for me. I do like bourbon and wine and beer.
And there was a time that the same mindset was
in effect with that we had prohibition in this country,

(21:21):
might I remind you, And it did not end well.
In fact, our government, this same United States government during prohibition.
One of their ways to get people to stop drinking,
which they couldn't seem to be able to do, was
they sent out poisoned alcohol so that when people would
consume the alcohol, they would die. And that was supposed

(21:43):
to spread fear in the land that I don't want
to drink that alcohol.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Or I'll die.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
But it didn't work. But the government murdered people for
their purposes. Wow, was that a precursor That should have
been our wake up call to stop trusting a government.
And that was one hundred years ago. The only thing
that came out of that prohibition was NASCAR. The mafia

(22:12):
was more powerful than ever. You see, when people want
something bad enough, they'll go underground to get it. You
can't just say, can't just by legislative fiat say not
going to happen. But I have to ask you. You know,
when we talk about the slippery slopes of arguments, if

(22:33):
I were to ask you, let's take the pandemic, what
more could our government have done to punish us? What
more tyranny could they have visited upon us than they did?
If we started with them doing nothing, How far from

(22:54):
there to the worst thing you can imagine?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Did we get.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
In Australia, they lock people into prisons. In China, they
literally fastened the doors closed. You could not escape. Can
you imagine how claustrophobic you had to feel. Can you
imagine how mad you would have to go in that
rubber room. That's a torture palace. That's awful. Our government

(23:20):
may not have gone that far, but they went pretty
damn far. Do you remember the moms that were out
in the park because they lived in tiny apartments and
their kids were stir crazy, and the moms needed a moment.
These kids needed some fresh air, and they took them
out and they arrested them in front of their children,
mothers and fathers in front of their children. You wouldn't

(23:41):
believe that would happen in this country, but it did.
Go look up the Tuskegee syphilis study. It's a wonder
black people trust the government to this day. Go look
at what they did to black people so they could
study syphilis, treating them like mice, like animals. How quickly

(24:03):
people have forgotten what our government has done. Where our
government has lied, was FDR in any way aware ahead
of time or more of Pearl Harbor?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
But I'll tell you the people who said that he
was and allowed it to happen, because that inspired the
action that inspired us to get into the war, that
dragged us into the war. This idea of provoking a clash,
a shooting, a riot, a murder, this is not new.

(24:42):
You remember the little white punk in South Carolina that
went into a prayer group and as the members of
the church were holding his hand to pray over him,
he pulls out his gun and shoots all of them.
Do you remember why he did it? He wanted to
in sight a race riot. The blacks would be so

(25:06):
angry over this that they'd start killing white people. So,
if you were the devil, what would you do that's
not currently being done? I send it to the Great
Paul Harvey.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
If I were the devil. If I were the devil,
if I were the Prince of Darkness, I'd want to
indulp the whole world in darkness, and I'd have a
third of its real estate and four fifths of its population.
But I wouldn't be happy until I have seized the
ripest apple on the tree the So I'd set about

(25:46):
however necessary to take over the United States. I'd subbort
the churches. First, I'd begin with a campaign of whispers.
With the wisdom of a serpent. I would whisper to
you as I whispered to Eve, do as you please, young.
I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I
would convince them that man created God instead of the
other way around. I would confide that what's bad is good,

(26:08):
and what's good is square, and the old I would
teach to pray after me our father, which aren't in Washington.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
And then I'd get organized.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
I'd educate authors in how to make lrid literature exciting,
so that anything else would appear dull and noninteresting. I'd
threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice versa. I peddle
narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies
and gentlemen of distinction. I tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at
war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations

(26:44):
at war with themselves until each in its turn was consumed,
and with promises of higher ratings. I'd have mesmerizing media
fanning the flames. If I were the devil. I would
encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect the discipline emotions,
just let those run wild until before you knew it.

(27:05):
You'd have to have drug snipping dogs and metal detectors
at every school house door. Within a decade, i'd have
prisons overflowing. I'd have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could
evict God from the courthouse, then from the school house,
and then from the houses of Congress and in his
own churches. I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science.

(27:29):
I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and
girls and church money. If I were the devil, I'd
make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol
of Christmas a bottle. If I were the devil, I'd
take from those who have and give to those who wanted,
until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
And what will you bet?

Speaker 6 (27:51):
I couldn't get whole states to promote gambling as the
way to get rich.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I would caution.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Against extremes in hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
I would convince the young that marriage is old fashion,
that swinging is more fun that what you see on
TV is the way to be. And thus I could
undress you in public, and I could lure you into

(28:22):
bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In
other words, if I were the devil, I'd just keep
right on doing what he's doing.
