It's that time time time, luck and load. So Michael
Arry Show is on the air. Ah, yes, that means

(00:26):
it's Friday. You can convene here together before we get started.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Let this wash over you.

Speaker 3 (00:41):

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Winter, those wars far, oh.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Whendy war, when those wars of the fun thres away.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
He need me little.

Speaker 7 (02:38):

Oh, a happy deal.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Winter, those walls when he was, when those war.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Threets away, he needed to love.

Speaker 8 (05:00):
Oh well, it is indeed a happy day.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Dade feeling as officially withdrawn from the Speaker's race in
the Texas House of Representatives that vote to be held tomorrow.
He just couldn't get the votes. Imagine that as the
speaker of a majority Republican House. Refusing to work with

(05:36):
Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott to close the border, impeaching
the Attorney General and putting Democrats as party chairman turned
out to cause him a lot of problems. That's how
the process works for It never works as fast as
you want it to, but if you stay focused, it

(05:57):
does eventually work. This is a victory. This is a victory.
The phone lines are open seven one three nine nine,
one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand
and to get us started as we always do, courtesy
of the greatest executive producer and all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi,

(06:18):
your week in review stop right there. I can think
of no song for which this is more the case.
Great opening, and the minute Ann Wilson begins singing, the
song goes off Cliff. The song does not go up

(06:38):
from that.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
President Biden's partning his son Hunter, excusing any offenses the
first son may have committed over the past decade.

Speaker 9 (06:47):
The pardon comes ahead of Hunter's December twelfth sentencing for
his conviction on federal gun charges.

Speaker 10 (06:51):
Is there any possibility that the president would end up
hardening the song? Is there? I just said, why did
he need an eleven year blanket pardon? Going back to
twenty fourteen when Joe Biden was the vice president, we
are sitting on the biggest cover up of who knows
what crimes.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It will burn the image of Democrats as cheaters and
liars into the minds of voters because they.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Are a.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Rivalry renewed. The Lone Star showed out tickets were so
expensive that two guys dressed as fake construction room and
tried to sneak in. They had names on their credentials.
One of them was mister mcconchinnor first named Duncan. The
other man last name was as scrat, first name Harry.

(07:42):
They will laugh about that for the rest of their lives.
Was it worth getting arrested? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Probably, Matt Chris Smack Jim mcnvale announcing on social media
today he's having open heart surgery next week to repair
a defective value.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
You're gonna have a silipostrophedic or your bed of choice
rolled in there so you can get a good night's
sleep after your Surgeony, I'm.

Speaker 11 (08:01):
Apparently thinking about it if they'll let me out bringing
one of my own adjustment back to hospital beds.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
They're not very compy. You are an important part of
this community and have been for a very long time,
and we want absolute best for you.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Ain't it true? This say in a dog as ist.

Speaker 9 (08:57):
The Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Show, Damn A Torpedos, pltle titles, prizycads.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
One thousand, the stress. Before we get to the phone calls,
there was an email I wanted to read, and I
thought I printed it out, but I guess I didn't.
So give me just a moment here. I'm going to
read this exactly as it is written. I will not
change a word ith It came in at five o

(09:36):
nine this morning, and well, I'll go ahead and start
it before it prints out. Subject line country life. Okay,
you have my attention. It's from a woman named Joy.
I won't tell you her last name. It says el Casino,
Good morning. I woke up at three am with your

(09:58):
family on my mind. I prayed for y'all for a
couple of hours. I've listened to your show for years.
I'm born and raised in Lagrange. When you opened the RCC,
I sold a low boy trailer to be able to
purchase a founder's brick. I got to meet you there
one time and I ugly cried. My daughter punched me
in the ribs. I used to call into your show,

(10:22):
but I stopped because I kind of have a distinctive voice.
And friends and family from five states would start calling
me and laughing. I'm a bit of a character. I
haven't worn shoes in years. I've been married for forty years.
We have two daughters and five granddaughters. I pack at
twenty two Remington under my left tit. I'm right handed.

(10:45):
My cousin's wife recently got shot by her kitten with
the twenty two derringer. The bullet went in her stomach
and outer tit. She had to be life flighted to
a hospital in Austin. They lived down on the Collaradatto
River near plum if you know where that is, just
outside of Lagrange. She's fine, Okay, that's all I got. Oh,

(11:09):
I'm not allowed to listen to your show while I'm
shredding the pasture because I ran over my phone three
times already. Have a great day and a great weekend.
That's why I read my emails. See if if that's
not just a little slice of life? Right there is
Victor on the blind line, gone, well, what if what

(11:34):
if he didn't mean to you might be in danger? Ramon,
what if? What if he's in danger?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
And we.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
The pete Hegseth nomination is not necessarily dead. Lindsey Graham,
who had been a little wishy washy I think may
have gotten a talking to from Donald Trump on this subject,
and Lindsey Graham has now changed his tune. John Cornyan

(12:07):
has become as bad as Dade Feelin and is going
to see the same result. Cornin was asked do you
support him or not? Because he has been offering these
little ham handed you remember the side step that Charles
Derning did in Best Little Worehouse in Texas, And he's

(12:31):
been offering this little ham fisted response of you know,
I've known him a long time. Well, his newest answer
is we have to let the process play out. But
you are the process, she jackassd Are you supporting him
or are you not? Ninety three senators, including almost every Democrat,

(12:57):
voted for Lloyd Austin. These people put people in the
Biden administration who were grown men who dress as women.
They put people in the Biden They voted to confirm
awful human beings for the Biden administration. And now you're
gonna do the little side step. My friends, I want.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
To thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Sincere a heart warming ovation.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
What do you think of me? The East?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I was saying, just this morning at the weekly prayer breakfast,
and this is star cabinal, that'd be who's both the
Jews and the Arabs the center of their differences in
a Christian manner?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
You ever answered the disgraceful situation at the chicken rane?
Fellow texts, and I'm proudly standing here to homely see.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
I assure you and I mean it.

Speaker 9 (14:01):
Now says I don't speak out as plain as dad,
fellow Texan, I have.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
A progress in the flag, lon me fly. I'm a
poor boy come to greatness.

Speaker 9 (14:23):
So it falls I cannot tell a lie?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
How did he say? Pain is used? Now dance night.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I love to dance a little sax step.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Now they're seeing me.

Speaker 12 (14:41):
Now they don't let bound.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
And bound again.

Speaker 12 (14:45):
I love to speak black steps, but a little slat
and paday?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Do you plan to take atchel against the chicken rage?

Speaker 11 (15:04):
Now?

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Good friends?

Speaker 9 (15:06):
Did beuve me to be solemn and.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Declared I'm a goodness and a profit ever living me
that same daily prayer?

Speaker 9 (15:19):
And that, my good friends, you can slip like I'll
you to stand tall. You can rush, or I probably
I shall.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Keep all way.

Speaker 13 (15:39):
That hearing talking that he don't.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
You na, I love to dance a little sad step.
Now let's see me now.

Speaker 11 (15:48):
I know God, and.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
I love to sweep round the lad step.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
A little flat the loud. John Cornyn's decline and defeat
is going to be a wondrous experience. I was getting

(16:15):
inside information last night on the decline of drunk Dad,
and it was getting worse and worse. And his last
the rats sinking, the rats fleeing the sinking ship, realized
how bad it was. So Dustin Burrows, his number two,
who now is trying to to in his Benedict Arnold way.

(16:38):
He's trying to be the leader of that little group
of Republicans. They were meeting with Democrats until late end
of the night last night. There are eighty eight Republicans
and there are sixty two Democrats. So they basically got
to get all sixty two Democrats and then they got

(16:59):
to peel off off about a quarter of the Republicans
and then they could get a majority. And that's a
terrible way to govern. But that's what Dennis Bonden did.
It's what it's what drunk Day did, and that's what
they're trying to do right now. Ramone, he has a
little electric coffee mug thing that he sits his coffee muggling,

(17:22):
and it's not working today, and it didn't heed his coffee,
and he got ir irrationally mad, and we were laughing,
and we thought, in case anybody wants to call up
something that you get irrationally angry over, that's the first
world problem. But it's it's legitimate you get that angry
seven three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand. Michael the Therapist

(17:47):
diagnoses demand or patience. It says you have an unnatural
fear of reciting wedding vows. Do you understand these symptoms?
I can't say I do. That's exactly right, Ramone. Why

(18:10):
do singers build barns near their houses because around Christmas
they sing so much they often get a little horse.
Wife says to her husband, our son is so clever.
He got his intelligence from me. Husband replies, probably because
I still have mine. Victor the blind Man, you gotta

(18:39):
be quick, though, because we've got a bunch of calls
on there. Victor's not always as quick as you'd like
a caller to be. Not as on. Ramon wrote this
up as caller Victor of the blind Man, subject on
the election, Other details on the blind line. So apparently
we have a blind line. Now, Victor, the blind man
on the blind line. You're up. Go ahead, sir. Let's

(18:59):
get one minute per call for now. Oh yeah, go ahead, Victor.

Speaker 13 (19:04):
I got a question, Okay, I'm into science fiction star
Trek in particular, what would it be like if the
nineteenth Amendment were never passed? How would things be different?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Victor? Remind me of something you just made me think of.
Did you ever have sight?

Speaker 13 (19:27):
Yes? I could see a lot better, but I had
to put my nose to the book, and the days
of the minuigraph machine, I get stoned off the smell
of the inkers.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, me too, I loved that. I was just curious.

Speaker 12 (19:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
It strikes me that for people who at some point
could see and then go blind, it would be a
very different experience than for people who were born blind
or were blind so early in life that they have
no recollection of sight. Because if a person is if

(20:09):
a person goes blind at twenty, for instance, that's got
to be harsh. But at least you can describe it
based on things that would be in their memory. But
if you were trying to explain something to someone who
has never seen anything, you know, I don't know if
you remember, there used to be a it was a
national advertisement. It was for a product that was for

(20:34):
people who were blind, and it helped regulate their bioorhythms
on the same as ours. Because if you are completely blind,
you don't you know, you don't know when to wake up,
when to sleep, and that would be odd. I mean,
that would really be a difficult, you know, because when
you my brother would be in a cop he would

(20:57):
work a lot of shifts, and a lot of people
plant workers and people that work off shifts. I believe,
I honestly believe that kills you. I really do. People
that have to move their shifts a lot. I think
the damage to your body is such that it takes
years off your life. I'm not even kidding you. Remember
a few years ago they released that stupid thing that

(21:22):
to try to get people not to eat certain foods,
and that say, you know, for each piece of bacon,
that costs you eight minutes. And I sit in there landing,
well there in one hour down and that was worth it,
because listen, I spent a lot of time around people
towards the end of their lives and I can tell
you once you reach a certain point, you know, when

(21:43):
you're thirty five, you're like, I'm gonna live to be
one hundred. Go hang out with somebody who's a hundred
at some point and see if that's your goal. Honestly,
none of us are ready to check out typically you know,
on a particular schedule. But I figure Rush when too early.
But I don't think Rush wanted to live thirty more
years at the point at which I can't control my peeing,

(22:07):
a my pooping. Am I moving around? And you know
when it's getting to be the point that I'm spending
more time at the doctor's office than I am at
home than you know, I'm not sure. I'm not willing
to trade off the quality of life, and by quality
of life, I mean eating and smoking and drinking as

(22:27):
much as I want right now in exchange for that. Now.
I understand we're all clawing and scratching when we get
to the end, but let's not glamorize living to a
ripe old age as if it's all good when you're
ninety nine. It's not as good as it is at
thirty eight, when you've made all those sacrifices to get there.
I want to be clear on that. Shannon Tea More.

(22:50):
You're up, sir, you got one minute go?

Speaker 14 (22:54):
Yes, sir, I'll tell you what I'm calling this, John Corningdale,
these Republicans need to get together. We don't need no
more blue blood. What do use some new blood? Corner
has been in public office for thirty five years at
Texas and he has not done a whole lot for
the working man or the young professional. He's been a
attorney gerald, he's been a a Supreme Court justice for

(23:18):
state of Texas. He's been a senator. And you tell
me one thing, as the average person would know about
what's he done to really.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Help us preasant. No, John Cornyan has never been John
cornn has always been a guy who desperately wanted to
reach the top. Thought he would be president, and short
of that's thought he would be a majority leader. And
there is going to be a coordinated effort to beat
him in the next primary. And he knows it's coming,
and he sees the writing.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
On the wall.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Hey, listen, fifteen House representatives in the state of Texas,
we're beaten this past march in the primary. That never happens.
And Dade feeling would have been beaten if they hadn't
spent what seven million dollars and now daide feeling's out
of the speaker's race. The writing's on the wall. These

(24:07):
people understand this is tea party three point zero, and
they see that it's on the wall, and they see
that the trouble is there. Let's go to Sarah real
quick on what grinds your gears? Go ahead, Sarah, Michael,
how are you? Yeah? I'm good, sweetheart. Go ahead.

Speaker 11 (24:23):
I'm short, I'm five foot one.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
I can't tell you how inconvenient my life is.

Speaker 10 (24:29):
The top third of my house is useless to me.

Speaker 11 (24:31):
It's dead to me.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Okay, so we moved into a house with ten foot
feelings like two years ago.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I can't use them.

Speaker 11 (24:38):
You can look at my house and tell exact.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Henry Higgins and my fair lady ladders. You could just
go around, Sorry, Michael, very show. So we say goodbye
to drunk ain't feeling, and we prepare to say goodbye

(25:06):
John Wayne mccornyn. How interesting the timing the number one
song on this day in nineteen sixty nine, themes Nana, Hey, Hey,
kiss him goodbye. It's nothing better in a basketball game,

(25:28):
especially a college game where you only get five fouls
because six fouls is too many from the pros. But
when they got their star, you know, when Lamar played
Louisiana tach In Beaumont and the boys from Rustin had
come over and the whole team was Carl Malone and

(25:52):
he fouled out, and I remember the the no no, no, no, no, hey,
hey kiss him good by felt. So it feels it's
such a great taunt. It's so I mean, in terms
of a basketball chant. I mean, it's not quite as
good as nuts and bolts. Nuts and bolts, but it's

(26:14):
up there.

Speaker 11 (26:15):
Man.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Man, that's a good one right there. And the thought,
after all we went through with drunk Dad, after all
the big donors, after the millions that were spent, they
got poked in the eye by the base. Now the
decision is theirs. At this point, do you behave like

(26:40):
a petulant patrician and say we run everything, we have
all the money, or do you say, hey, you know what,
maybe this maybe view this as a humbling experience. Let's
bring the party back together. Let's learn from this, Let's
learn from our desire. Why did we have to peach

(27:00):
Kim Paxton, was that our ego? Why did we have
to split the party apart? Why did we have to
do that? Why was that necessary? It cost us a
lot of money, a lot of effort, a lot of pride,
and then guess what, we got our asses whipped.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
And you know what.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
It's bad for the state. It's bad for the party.
The only one that wins out of this is the Democrats.
But it had to happen. They had to understand that
the base are not the peasants are not going to
stand by for this period. End of story, Jim, What

(27:39):
grinds your gears?

Speaker 11 (27:41):
Sir? Hey yo, Mike, it's good to talk to you again.
I tell you what. When they take my keys away
at seventy five, that's when I'm going to really get upset.
But what grinds my gear is when you have a
lawnmower that just will not start. And I used to
get mad at that, but I walked away during how
to Walk Way. But I talked to my uncle up

(28:01):
in Osage County. I said, what's wrong with your lawnmower?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Right there?

Speaker 11 (28:05):
He said it wouldn't start. So I took a double
bladed axe to it, and it shambles.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
You know, growing up, you'd go to somebody's trailer and
there'd be an old lawnmower there. And it wasn't that
the lawnmower didn't work anymore, per se, it was at
the rope that was on there had broken from yanking
on it so many times, and they had just gotten
tired of Well that that is a frustrating feeling. Would

(28:35):
you reach down there and you give it everything you've
got and that thing just pops or doesn't give you anything,
and then you know what I'd do. There's a prime
at the damn dam And this was this played out
a thousand times. My dad come around the corner. You're
gonna flood it, Dad, I got I can't get his barking.

(28:56):
You're gonna flood it. And every time you flooded it,
and you just let's sit there for a minute. You
flooded it. I hadn't flooded it yet, Dah, you flooded it.
You knew you're gonna flood it. You flooded it. And
you're sitting there pushing that little bulbous that you know
what I'm talking about. He's so mad and you know
he's rooting you know he's rooting that it won't start.
He's rooting and it won't start because you've pushed it

(29:18):
one too many times. And the pushing it is just
out of pure anger. It's not a strategic you're gonna
flood it. I'm not gonna flooded. Wow, but boy, is
that a good feeling man, when you pulled down there
and get a good yank on it. Right, that's a
good feeling, right there, Brooke, you're up? What grinds your gears?
