Speaker 1 (00:00):
One of the worst parts about Ramond losing all the
way He ain't the skinniest guy in the room anymore,
but he ain't the fattest, and I kind of miss
having a fat guy around. And that's why I'm glad
Jim Mudd has joined us, because Jim Mudd embraces his
love of food. Jim Mudd has added to our production
team and we're delighted to have him. And the problem is,
(00:22):
you can't really talk food with Chad because Chad has
zero point one percent body fat. I mean, he's just
chat is is an is a like a monk. It's amazing.
So but Jim, I can indulge my inner fat dude
with him. Yeah, Like, Chad, what's your favorite candy? And
(00:43):
it's a I don't eat candy? Like ever don't eat candy? Well, man, Okay,
what do you do? I mean, what do you do?
But Jim embraces his inner fat guys, as I need
people around me who do. But he said, I often
(01:05):
think during times like this about what I'll miss most
during the end times. And he said, I'll miss anchovies
when the restaurants shut down and you're locked in and
it's post apocalyptic and I thought, that's a great conversation.
What will you miss most during the end times? What
(01:27):
whimsical thing that you have to say? Maybe it's bond bonds,
Maybe it's I put I put York peppermint patties and
reached his peanut butter cups the little ones in the
freezer and eat them. Cole No, I was saying, when
I run out of that like that, that is I mean,
(01:50):
I'm not embarrassed. I'm surprised you would be surprised how
much joy that gives me. My point is that I
wouldn't just be well, I sure, Wei shay Man, I'm
jonesan for that. I'm in a bad way. You remember
Tom Sizemore when being Tom Sizemore of that show, and
he's strung out and he needs a hit and he
can't get it and his eyes are zombied out and
(02:11):
he's sweating. That's where I am at that moment. All right,
I got something to mail. I can't remember if I
read this to y'all, but I got to tell you
this story because this is if I wasn't clear, Ramon says,
I wasn't smelly. What whimsical thing will you most miss
during the end times that she won't be able to
get to all right. So Emily, my assistant, brings my
(02:34):
mail in and she opens this thing out and she goes,
I was gonna you get the weirdest stuff in the mail.
I said, I take great pride in that, and she said,
I was going to throw this away, but somehow, for
some real weird reason, I thought you might enjoy it.
(02:55):
And I said, what is it? She said, it looks
like a jockstrap, used jockstrap. Why'd you think I would
enjoy it? Because it's got a letter with it and
I can't bring myself to read it. I said, well,
let me see what it is. It's clearly not a
jock strap. It looks like a knee pad or maybe
a thigh pad. Right, you see this, Okay, So it's
(03:18):
clearly used. It's got some blood splotches on it, and
it doesn't stink, but you could tell that a few
years ago it did, right. And it's that's how you
get COVID. That's how it spreads, okay, not the wet market, okay.
But I love our listeners and you just never know
what's going to arrive in the mail. So I pick
up the handwritten note. It's from West Wind in College Station, Texas,
(03:42):
and it's handwritten with pencil, and so you have my attention.
It says, ZAR love the show. I like for you
to have this Earl Campbell game warn elbow pad. That's
an elbow pad when you're Earl Campbell, that's an elbow pad, right,
that could cover one of my butt cheeks. The best
(04:04):
I can tell is this from the nineteen eighty one
game between the Oilers and Miami Dolphins and the dome.
After the game, Earl tossed this into the crowd and
I caught it. I was eleven at the time. My
dad and brother can attest to it. I love the
fact that he's like, Okay, I know you think just
(04:24):
some old it's just some old elbowpad. But if you
need here's my brother and my dad they would say, hey,
that's well. I remember when West caught it. I'll never
forget because he had a coat in his hand and
that thing come up there and he dropped it and
grabbed that and he's held on to it all these years.
Why would anybody lie about that? Right? And then he
adds this guy's after my own heart. I think he
(04:45):
had nineteen rushes for seventy eight yards in the game.
Keep doing what you're doing, West Wind College Station, Texas.
And here it is. I posted that without comment. I said,
receive this in the minb. But look at that right there.
You see that right there? Look at this romon. There's
no blood on the inside. The blood is on the outside.
(05:08):
That means he used his elbow to shuck somebody and
got their blood on his elbow. I don't know what
I'm gonna do with it, but I'm pretty sure this
is going in my coffin with me when I'm dead. Yeah,
me and Earl right there, Earl's elbow pad right there. Oh,
Kenny's got to complain what you got? Kenny?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Am I on the air now?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes? Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I got a question or comment to mister Barry.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is that you're on with me? Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, I'm sorry it's not started to you. I'll listen
to you every damn day, thank you, especially since I've
been retired. But anyway, you push these agendas. Are these
these companies that like got one in there, that's a
new RESCI opening up here in Montgomery County blah blah blah,
(06:03):
And to even afford to go to these restaurants. Over
that restaurant, you know, one persons dropping thirty five dollars
for a meal. Okay, you know, rich people. The common
people that live here in Montgomery County. You know, we're
just we're just working people. And you promote people to
(06:23):
move to Montgomery County. In the last year or two years,
Conroe has doubled in size, and Conro used to be
a nice little town to live, and now it's going
to become just like living on nineteen sixty or or
some big busy street in Houston. And you promote all
(06:45):
these fine country living and stuff like that. The next thing,
you know, it's us people that relax and live in
it's because it's a little bit cheaper to live here.
And then in Harris County, next thing, you know it,
everything's going to go up. We're going to be just
like Harris County. It's just like the people from California
when they moved here, they bring their government where the
people from Houston bring their government here and so and
(07:10):
it's just that you're promoting you're promoting the upper class items.
Whenever the majority of us here or not upper class,
were We're common folks. I mean, I hope you understand
what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I do rem What was your reaction to that old
boy saying you're promoting too much rich stuff? You agree,
Oh that's funny because you're you, you as common folk.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Really?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh okay, all right, okay. I wonder if he'd I
wasn't mad at him at all. It's it's an interesting perspective. Hey,
I have no shame. Listen, Let's have no mistakes here.
I'm not gonna be dishonest with you. I'm gonna make
as much money as I can possibly make in my
life because money allows me a freedom to move about
(08:00):
and to do things that I've been without money, and
I've been with money, and I can tell you without
money is a whole lot harder. You figure out ways
to get by. But if you can make a little money,
not mad at you for doing it at all.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
This segment exclusively produced by Hawaiian Chad Nakanishi Aloha bro
Ha to The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's the Apocalypse on what will you miss most causing
the apocalypse? The World War? Interesting bit of polling data.
I know we're having fun ramon, but listen carefully to this.
(08:45):
Rasmussen did a poll based on income level, with the
question asked yes or no. If a wider war breaks
out in Europe, should the US military be involved? If
a wider war breaks out in Europe? Should the US
military be involved? Folks who made over two hundred thousand
(09:08):
are very eager sixty six percent, one hundred thousand to
two hundred thousand, fifty two percent, fifty thousand to one
hundred thousand fifty one percent, thirty thousand to fifty thousand
forty eight percent. Folks who make under thirty thousand thirty
(09:30):
seven percent. Rich folks are real keen to go to war,
aren't they? With your boys?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
What will you miss most? Let's go to John. Yes,
go ahead, John. Oh okay, Well what I would have
miss is poppy sea clatches. Oh wow, Hobby Sez you
(10:01):
know that? Does see? I like that. I like how
deep we went into that. All right. For us to
make great radio together, I have to teach you, as
a caller how to contribute to the show. Okay. A
good host teaches his audience how to be part of
the show, because that's the beauty here, right, It's not
just me anymore. You're part of it. You being part
(10:23):
of it, and it's sounding smooth and seamless and tight
and high production values means that you stay on your phone,
not on the speakerphone, that you're ready so that when
I come to you, you get right in. Well, Hi,
what a Michael? What about that phone OUTR that's not
good radio, that's real bad radio. And you've heard that
everywhere else. But you're gonna be ready, and you're gonna
(10:45):
be engaged, and I'm good and you're good. I'll be
good all day. You're gonna get right to it. You're
gonna make your point. What will be that thing you
will miss most? See, I'm helping you make great radio
during your moment because I'm kind of invested too, all right.
Seven one three two one two five eight seven four
RJ on the black line? What will you miss most?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Other than Ramon's James still Holo, Andy's Mint candies.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh Andy's Mint candies. Okay, so stock up now, see
that's probably shelf stable for a while. That's a good
thing about hard candies is they hold for a while.
Corey Go.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Water Burger, Patty Melt, and Doctor Pepper.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
You can stock up on the Doctor Pepper, the water burger,
not so much, earl go my grandchildren. Oh wow, Well,
I wasn't going that deep because I was hoping we'd
keep our loved ones close, that we'd just kind of
be shut in like in the movies or sean go ahead,
makers mark? What oh maker's mark? Well see that there again.
(11:48):
Y'all are kind of proving something to me. If the
things that you would most miss are shelf stable for
a couple of years, that's the beauty of bourbon. That
was actually one of the reasons I started switching more
to brown water than beer, is that beer is so
(12:08):
temperature sensitive, at least the way we drink it here
Europeans drink warm beer. But the idea that you could
have even more so than wine. You open a bourbon,
that bourbon is good to go when you you can
close it up and come back in a year and
it's just as good. Trust me, I've done it. You
can tote it anywhere. It basically any temperature. It can
(12:31):
sit out in your hot car. Beer goes flat, wine
goes sour. You think of all the categories. If makers
mark is that thing you would missed the most, just
go stock up on it, and Maker's Mark is not
in as short a supply just yet. Alex, what will
you miss most during the apocalypse.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh, we are probably gonna lose this before the apocalypse.
But my escape is Formula one INDYECAR NASCAR.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh yeah, see that'll be first to go. Yeah, that'll
be That'll be long go. Although are they are they
eat up with the whole political.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Correctness depending on what series you look at, Yes, across
the board, they're kind of beholden to the oil companies
like the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, and the oil companies are running scared, so the
oil companies have to outliberal the liberals. Some of the
organizations and causes that these oil companies are funding, it
just blows. They are absolutely subsidizing their own suicide. They're
subsidizing their own demise. And what they think is that
(13:33):
if they can hand over enough of their neighbors to
the nazi liberal global warming hyenas, then they'll be saved.
You're just delaying and empowering. You're feeding the fire that
will consume you. Some of these oil companies should be
absolutely ashamed of themselves what they ought to be doing.
The way musk is is fighting back. They ought to
(13:56):
all be declaring war, but they're not. Be surprised how
many fortune five hundred CEOs are very very weak men.
All they want is they got eighteen months till a
change of control where the company is sold to this
or that company, and that triggers their options to vest
and they can go off on their boat in the Mediterranean.
(14:18):
And oh, they'll spend their entire retirement. I've seen this.
They'll spend their entire retirement. Boy, I'll tell you what
is Michael, It's terrible. What's happening. It's really happenings terrible.
What's happening in this car? Man, I'm glad you're talking
about it. Well, what did you do when you had
a position where you could have made a difference? Boy, tie,
you can't do anything anymore. I mean your hands are tied.
(14:38):
I mean that's just the way things are. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You allowed things to be that way. Admire the people
who stand up and speak out because they do so
at great cost. Nancy, what will you miss during the apocalypse?
Roasted nuts, mixed nuts, chucklate covered nuts, any kind of
nuttiness old world? Wow, what kind of nuts do you
(15:04):
eat any kind of nuts. My favorite dark chocolate covered almond.
Oh wow, I love Have you ever had the the
white covered almonds?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I got a stash.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Of those, and then the uh, that's good, that's good
movie theater food.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And have you ever had the yogurt covered pretzels?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't my pretzels.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well you don't have to. You'll like this. I'm serious.
Next time you go to the grocery store, go over
and they will have yogurt covered pretzels. And now they
have not just yogurt cover pretzels, they have strawberry yogurt
covered pretzels, chocolate yogurt covered pretzels, all sorts of different
flavored yogurt covered pretzels. And they are something to behold.
(15:55):
Don't eat them when it's hot, because they're melting on you. Okay,
but see there again, everything y'all are saying are things
that you could stock up on. Now forget the toilet
paper that lady needs to go get all the nuts
she can possibly get. She needs to just hoard all
the nuts that she can possibly get. Jim, what you
got something you and I have in common? I have
(16:17):
a hat you have a hat Chicko sticks. Oh, oh yeah,
Chico Stix, Amen brother. The name of that company, Ramon,
It's out of Lufkin or somewhere East Texas. It's the
name of that company. Yeah, we had them on. She
sent a big old box of stuff. Oh, I didn't
let you know that. Jason Fresh ground coffee can't handle
(16:40):
the freeze fried stuff. That's Atkinson is the company that
is one of my great joys in life. Jason is
my wife, being from India. She makes me a chai
every morning when I wake up, and as I scurry
(17:02):
out the door, she meets me at the door and
hands it to me and walks me out. And I
drink that until about ten o'clock, depending on how my
pace is going, and then at ten. Ramon starts making
coffee at about seven o'clock every morning, and so by
ten I've been smelling that coffee in here for a
while and I can hear it percolating and all that. Prey.
(17:25):
You think about this, of all the great joys in life,
and how much joy coffee gives me. It's such a
simple thing, right, It's not a heavily mechanize It's such
a simple thing. It's just water over beans. Hot Bizar
(17:47):
of talk radio The Michael Barry Show. Well, we have
a twofer. It's a gay dude. But this has nothing
to do with monkey pops And it's a Florida man story,
and Florida man is not gay. Let me explain. David
(18:08):
Martinez is a construction worker by trade, and he tried
to kill his brother with a kitchen knife. And I
know what you're thinking, Zar, why would he do that
to his own kin? Well, it seems that Dave wasn't
happy that his brother may have been a homosexual, at
(18:31):
least that's the assumption, since he had threatened to quote
cut the gay away. Apparently he kept threatening to cut
his brother's quote gay away while he was sharpening his knife.
And that's probably enough to stare to scare a gay
(18:52):
fellow straight, I'd think, Ramon, do you know which part
of the body contains the gay? Like, if he was
just he is going to r of it out and
scoop it out and get it out of there. I mean,
is it inside the booty? Is it? Where would it
is that where they go looking for it? Where is
(19:12):
the gay? Is it behind the knee, the elbow? Where was,
Which got me to thinking, this isn't the first time
we've heard language like this. Do you remember when Chick
fil A came out against gay marriage and a position
(19:36):
they should be entitled to have. Do you remember the
name Adam Smith? Not the economist, not the Scottish economists.
He was the guy who decided to film himself protesting
in the Chick fil A drive through. This was twenty fourteen,
and if you remember, people would go through the Chick
fil A drive through and they would yell at the
(19:57):
poor minimum wage employee on the other side of the glass.
They would yell at them that you're an awful human
being because you work for Chick fil A. Kids are
just trying to pay their rent. Well, Adam Smith filmed
himself and thought he was going to be very clever.
He was the CFO of some company and he filmed himself.
(20:19):
He ends up getting fired the next day. Do you
remember this this exchange.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Well, I'm waiting in line, I'm next to nine. I'm
pretty excited about my free water. I also see like
a group of thirty college age students over there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'm wondering if they're doing a sit in. I'm so excited.
I might just join them.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Let's see what happens with my free water, And I
think I might just say a few words too.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Let's see, it's been a long line.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
There's a long line of cars too. I don't know
if you can see, but it's you know, people don't
have to have their Chick fil A and so I
gay breakfast sandwich. Mmm, always tastes better when it's full
of hate.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
M Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Come on, I want my free water. Come on. I
really hope those students over there are gonna do a
sit in. I think they are. It just makes sense. Hey, right, Hey,
how you doing good? Is this my free water? It
is awesome? You know why I'm getting the free water?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Because Chick fil A is a hateful corporation. I disagree.
I wouldn't I know, but don't I know?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
But you guys, but the corporation gives money to hate
hate groups, hate groups just because people want to kiss
another guy.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Sorry, I have to say your belief. Yeah, I believe
that too.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
I don't believe corporations should be giving money to hateful groups.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Totally understand. I'll take my walk, of course.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I'm glad that I can take a little bit of
money from Chick fil A and maybe less money to
hate groups.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Have a great day. I don't know how you live
with yourself and work here. I don't understand it. This
is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better.
You deserve better. Rachel deserves better. Okay, I will. I
just did something really good. I feel purposeful. Thank you
so much. Okay.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I'm a nice guy, by the way, and I'm totally heaterosexual.
I'm not none, not gay in me. I just can't
stand the hate. You know, you gotta stop. It's gotta stop. Guys,
stand up, all right, see you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
He said, I'm totally heterosexual, not a gay in me.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I'm totally heterosexual, no, not gay in me?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Who play the game? Who says that.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I'm totally heaterosexual, no, not gay and me.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think you doth protest too much there, Adam. He
got fired the next day. I like it's a part
where he sees a bunch of kids outside a store
about a block away and he just assumes this is
nineteen sixty seven or nineteen seventy one, and they're having
some sit in like John and Yoko.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I really hope those students over there are going to
do a sit in. I think they are. It just
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
So this totally heterosexual dude without a gay inside him.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I'm totally heterosexual, none I gay and me has just
harassed a young lady who maintained poise throughout.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Good for her. So we're back to Dave Martinez trying
to cut the gay out of his brother Florida man.
I like to think. Did y'all watch the movie Heathers.
It was a cult classic from nineteen eighty nine Christian
Slater Winona Ryder. It's a dark comedy about a couple
(23:55):
that starts killing their high school classmates, and in the
scene where about to play, it's the funeral of the
two football players that they killed, and in order to
keep from getting caught, they set it up to look
like a murder suicide between two gay lovers. They weren't gay,
they weren't lovers. Their classmates just killed them and set
(24:17):
this thing up. But the dad of one of the
dead boys stands up to profess his love for his
dead son. Because any way you can hear me, Kurt, buddy,
I don't care that you really were some pansy your
(24:39):
own flesh and blood. And no, you may be proud.
My son's a homosexual and I love him. I love
my dad gay son.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I don't like men no more.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I like women.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
E Michael Berry, I'm not gay no more.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
With bags I g I E Lee big Rick, big.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Rick, Come on Lamari University, honey k l b I yes,
that means five point sixty. In Latin Hunting, the home
of the Macaroni Award winning al cow Well welcomes another
hometown child, mister Michelberer. Direct from Orangefield texts say oh,
(25:39):
the negnorance of it all.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Mama Vicker, Alma Grinner, Mamah Lover.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
My friend Ben Wernig was the first person I ever
knew to introduce me to Shirley cu Lickor. And we
were young, I mean we were we were in school.
I can't remember. But in Orange Shirley cue Lickor, before
she was ever on the radio, was an answering machine.
(26:07):
And you would call and she would dispense wisdom and
change the message every couple of days. And so you
would call and when you'd hope the line wouldn't be busy.
This was before and if if it started ringing. You
go listen, y'all, listen, y'all list y'all listen, and you'd
all gather around because you didn't have a speakerphone. Listen, listen,
(26:28):
and then Shirley Culicker would would answer, and it would
just be you never knew what it would be. It
could be anything. It just be nonsense, that today's ignorance,
and you'd be so excited and then you caught in
called again, but you couldn't get back through. My dad
said that out at the plant, in the C unit,
which is where he worked, in the maintenance unit, they
would sit and they'd take turns dialing and this was
(26:51):
to to to to to to. That was back when
you when you die. We didn't have area codes back then,
but just dialing seven numbers would take a minute. Right
when there was a when Kogt would have the Turkey
gobble that play the you could win a you could
win a uh, you could win a turkey, and so
(27:14):
you'd wait for the gobble. So what you do is
you dial six numbers. It's like eight eight three, five,
five nine nine or whatever it was. So you do
eight eight three, five five nine, and you'd wait. You
have your hand on that nine and a minute that say,
go you do just the nine, you'd wait on the
last numbers. Yeah, the gobble?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
What did the.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Gobbles sound like? I don't know. We need somebody that
can do a good gobble. Uh, I can. I can
hear it in my mind's eye. I just can't replicate
it right, right right, Give me some time to think
on that. I'm not great impersonations or or pet sounds
(27:53):
like the Beach Boys. I can't think exactly how it. Yeah,
that's not it, gobble. It's better with do come on
well something like that. Yeah. So they would do that
and then you'd call. But anyway, so I had to
tell you his story real quick. So Chance calls me
(28:15):
yesterday and he says, hey, talking to a woman and
her dad is a uh her dad played football at
Port Natures Groves and he's texting me. He's all excited.
And I said, yes, I'll know him. What year did
(28:37):
he graduate? So his daughter says, the daughter is the
one that called in. We want a legacy film on
my dad. He's got all these great stories. Graduated seventy two.
Turns out he graduated seventy one, but the daughter got it. Wrong,
graduated seventy two. I said, oh, he'll know my friend
Jeff the jet burs Run. So I send back Jeff
the Jet Burge Run, and then I immediately panic. He's
(29:00):
going to say, Michael has a friend that would have
gone to school with your dad, Jeff the Jet burger Rod.
I just know he's going to screw it up. But
he didn't because he's done so many of these life films, now,
these heritage films on people in the because a lot
of the folks that call come from the Golden Triangle
(29:20):
all the way into Houston. And now he's got a
big client base in Louisiana, especially southwest Louisiana. So Bergeron
is pretty So he didn't screw up Bergeron. I was
happy about that. I immediately sent him a phonetic pronunciation on
how to say Bergeron, because if you screw that up,
you're going to sound like a goober, especially to somebody
for port Natures, Gross p andng the Indians. So he said, oh,
(29:44):
I got it, don't worry. So he's text me back.
I said, ask her if her dad knew Jeff the
Jet Burgeron and she immediately says yes, because Jeff the
Jet Bergeron was a legend back in the day. Nineteen
seventy two, the top football prospect coming out of the
state of Tech with Steve Wooster. And that name doesn't
mean anything to you, Ramone, but I can tell you
(30:05):
that he went to Bridge City, which is why I
know this. It wasn't just because he's from Bridge City.
He went to UT. He was a superstar for people
that were following football fifty years ago. Steve Wooster was
the greatest white boy to play football. I mean it
was like it was. It was all Steve Wooster to
(30:27):
this day. I was at an event maybe ten years ago,
ten fifteen years ago, and Steve Wooster walked in. I
think it was a UT alumni event. I don't remember
what it was, but Wooster walked in and everybody in
the room wanted to go over and shake his hand.
This guy was such a legend on the field that
fifty years later people still talk about it. That was
seventy two. Nineteen seventy four, the greatest high school athlete
(30:49):
coming out of high school going to college was number
twenty at University of Texas, where he committed the Tyler
Rose Earl Campbell nineteen seventy three was Jeff the jet
Burge Roun. I have confirmed that with Wade Phillips, whose
daddy coached him. So I said, hey, ask, oh boy,
(31:11):
I spoke to me cigars last night, So I apologize.
I'm too lazy to hit the cough button. Yes, I'm
clearing my throat a lot. It was maybe a four
cigar day yesterday. I was doing a lot of reading
and I started this nasty little habit. But yes, I
know I'm clearing my throat. I know it's irritating, so
I apologize in advance. All right, Oh, hold on, we
got a good gobbler, Ethan. You're a good gobbler, Ethan.
(31:35):
Oh dang it, Ethan, are you a good gobbler?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeap?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
All right, well, let's hear it. It's not bad. Work
on that. During the break. We'll come back. I need
a little more base in there, all right. So Jeff
the jet Berge Round was the top high school prospect
in nineteen seventy three. Superstar right. Well, I know him
(32:01):
because his daughter, Tanna, beautiful beautiful woman, is married to
Steve Parcombe, who everybody in law enforcement in Southeast Texas knows.
Tanna is with one of the big drug companies. She's
like a regional vice president. She's married to Steve Peacone
and Steve Pericombe was Chris his best friend. They talked
every morning like two teenage girls. Greatest guy you everyone meet.
(32:24):
So anyway, I gotta get this story done before we
get to break. So I called Jeff the Jet after
that and I said, Hey, Steve Osborne. He says, Steve
Osborne was like my big brother. He was almost like
a father. Figured to me he was two years older
than he was a free safety. That guy would hitch you.
He's great guys, but he's done very well for himself.
And so I texted Wade fell Us. We were going
back and forth about high school legends. So here's my
(32:44):
question to you. If you mentioned Jeff the Jet burger
on in my household because my brother worshiped him too,
we all did. My dad drove the my grandfather drove
the bus for the local high school football teams. What
is the name of that guy when you were growing
up that his name inspire just absolutely legend that never
(33:04):
went on to play pro football. So you're gonna tell
us the year the high school and his name wherever
you went to high school, come on,
One of the worst parts about Ramond losing all the
way He ain't the skinniest guy in the room anymore,
but he ain't the fattest, and I kind of miss
having a fat guy around. And that's why I'm glad
Jim Mudd has joined us, because Jim Mudd embraces his
love of food. Jim Mudd has added to our production
team and we're delighted to have him. And the problem is,
(00:22):
you can't really talk food with Chad because Chad has
zero point one percent body fat. I mean, he's just
chat is is an is a like a monk. It's amazing.
So but Jim, I can indulge my inner fat dude
with him. Yeah, Like, Chad, what's your favorite candy? And
(00:43):
it's a I don't eat candy? Like ever don't eat candy? Well, man, Okay,
what do you do? I mean, what do you do?
But Jim embraces his inner fat guys, as I need
people around me who do. But he said, I often
(01:05):
think during times like this about what I'll miss most
during the end times. And he said, I'll miss anchovies
when the restaurants shut down and you're locked in and
it's post apocalyptic and I thought, that's a great conversation.
What will you miss most during the end times? What
(01:27):
whimsical thing that you have to say? Maybe it's bond bonds,
Maybe it's I put I put York peppermint patties and
reached his peanut butter cups the little ones in the
freezer and eat them. Cole No, I was saying, when
I run out of that like that, that is I mean,
(01:50):
I'm not embarrassed. I'm surprised you would be surprised how
much joy that gives me. My point is that I
wouldn't just be well, I sure, Wei shay Man, I'm
jonesan for that. I'm in a bad way. You remember
Tom Sizemore when being Tom Sizemore of that show, and
he's strung out and he needs a hit and he
can't get it and his eyes are zombied out and
(02:11):
he's sweating. That's where I am at that moment. All right,
I got something to mail. I can't remember if I
read this to y'all, but I got to tell you
this story because this is if I wasn't clear, Ramon says,
I wasn't smelly. What whimsical thing will you most miss
during the end times that she won't be able to
get to all right. So Emily, my assistant, brings my
(02:34):
mail in and she opens this thing out and she goes,
I was gonna you get the weirdest stuff in the mail.
I said, I take great pride in that, and she said,
I was going to throw this away, but somehow, for
some real weird reason, I thought you might enjoy it.
(02:55):
And I said, what is it? She said, it looks
like a jockstrap, used jockstrap. Why'd you think I would
enjoy it? Because it's got a letter with it and
I can't bring myself to read it. I said, well,
let me see what it is. It's clearly not a
jock strap. It looks like a knee pad or maybe
a thigh pad. Right, you see this, Okay, So it's
(03:18):
clearly used. It's got some blood splotches on it, and
it doesn't stink, but you could tell that a few
years ago it did, right. And it's that's how you
get COVID. That's how it spreads, okay, not the wet market, okay.
But I love our listeners and you just never know
what's going to arrive in the mail. So I pick
up the handwritten note. It's from West Wind in College Station, Texas,
(03:42):
and it's handwritten with pencil, and so you have my attention.
It says, ZAR love the show. I like for you
to have this Earl Campbell game warn elbow pad. That's
an elbow pad when you're Earl Campbell, that's an elbow pad, right,
that could cover one of my butt cheeks. The best
(04:04):
I can tell is this from the nineteen eighty one
game between the Oilers and Miami Dolphins and the dome.
After the game, Earl tossed this into the crowd and
I caught it. I was eleven at the time. My
dad and brother can attest to it. I love the
fact that he's like, Okay, I know you think just
(04:24):
some old it's just some old elbowpad. But if you
need here's my brother and my dad they would say, hey,
that's well. I remember when West caught it. I'll never
forget because he had a coat in his hand and
that thing come up there and he dropped it and
grabbed that and he's held on to it all these years.
Why would anybody lie about that? Right? And then he
adds this guy's after my own heart. I think he
(04:45):
had nineteen rushes for seventy eight yards in the game.
Keep doing what you're doing, West Wind College Station, Texas.
And here it is. I posted that without comment. I said,
receive this in the minb. But look at that right there.
You see that right there? Look at this romon. There's
no blood on the inside. The blood is on the outside.
(05:08):
That means he used his elbow to shuck somebody and
got their blood on his elbow. I don't know what
I'm gonna do with it, but I'm pretty sure this
is going in my coffin with me when I'm dead. Yeah,
me and Earl right there, Earl's elbow pad right there. Oh,
Kenny's got to complain what you got? Kenny?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Am I on the air now?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yes? Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I got a question or comment to mister Barry.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is that you're on with me? Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, I'm sorry it's not started to you. I'll listen
to you every damn day, thank you, especially since I've
been retired. But anyway, you push these agendas. Are these
these companies that like got one in there, that's a
new RESCI opening up here in Montgomery County blah blah blah,
(06:03):
And to even afford to go to these restaurants. Over
that restaurant, you know, one persons dropping thirty five dollars
for a meal. Okay, you know, rich people. The common
people that live here in Montgomery County. You know, we're
just we're just working people. And you promote people to
(06:23):
move to Montgomery County. In the last year or two years,
Conroe has doubled in size, and Conro used to be
a nice little town to live, and now it's going
to become just like living on nineteen sixty or or
some big busy street in Houston. And you promote all
(06:45):
these fine country living and stuff like that. The next thing,
you know, it's us people that relax and live in
it's because it's a little bit cheaper to live here.
And then in Harris County, next thing, you know it,
everything's going to go up. We're going to be just
like Harris County. It's just like the people from California
when they moved here, they bring their government where the
people from Houston bring their government here and so and
(07:10):
it's just that you're promoting you're promoting the upper class items.
Whenever the majority of us here or not upper class,
were We're common folks. I mean, I hope you understand
what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I do rem What was your reaction to that old
boy saying you're promoting too much rich stuff? You agree,
Oh that's funny because you're you, you as common folk.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Really?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh okay, all right, okay. I wonder if he'd I
wasn't mad at him at all. It's it's an interesting perspective. Hey,
I have no shame. Listen, Let's have no mistakes here.
I'm not gonna be dishonest with you. I'm gonna make
as much money as I can possibly make in my
life because money allows me a freedom to move about
(08:00):
and to do things that I've been without money, and
I've been with money, and I can tell you without
money is a whole lot harder. You figure out ways
to get by. But if you can make a little money,
not mad at you for doing it at all.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
This segment exclusively produced by Hawaiian Chad Nakanishi Aloha bro
Ha to The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's the Apocalypse on what will you miss most causing
the apocalypse? The World War? Interesting bit of polling data.
I know we're having fun ramon, but listen carefully to this.
(08:45):
Rasmussen did a poll based on income level, with the
question asked yes or no. If a wider war breaks
out in Europe, should the US military be involved? If
a wider war breaks out in Europe? Should the US
military be involved? Folks who made over two hundred thousand
(09:08):
are very eager sixty six percent, one hundred thousand to
two hundred thousand, fifty two percent, fifty thousand to one
hundred thousand fifty one percent, thirty thousand to fifty thousand
forty eight percent. Folks who make under thirty thousand thirty
(09:30):
seven percent. Rich folks are real keen to go to war,
aren't they? With your boys?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
What will you miss most? Let's go to John. Yes,
go ahead, John. Oh okay, Well what I would have
miss is poppy sea clatches. Oh wow, Hobby Sez you
(10:01):
know that? Does see? I like that. I like how
deep we went into that. All right. For us to
make great radio together, I have to teach you, as
a caller how to contribute to the show. Okay. A
good host teaches his audience how to be part of
the show, because that's the beauty here, right, It's not
just me anymore. You're part of it. You being part
(10:23):
of it, and it's sounding smooth and seamless and tight
and high production values means that you stay on your phone,
not on the speakerphone, that you're ready so that when
I come to you, you get right in. Well, Hi,
what a Michael? What about that phone OUTR that's not
good radio, that's real bad radio. And you've heard that
everywhere else. But you're gonna be ready, and you're gonna
(10:45):
be engaged, and I'm good and you're good. I'll be
good all day. You're gonna get right to it. You're
gonna make your point. What will be that thing you
will miss most? See, I'm helping you make great radio
during your moment because I'm kind of invested too, all right.
Seven one three two one two five eight seven four
RJ on the black line? What will you miss most?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Other than Ramon's James still Holo, Andy's Mint candies.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh Andy's Mint candies. Okay, so stock up now, see
that's probably shelf stable for a while. That's a good
thing about hard candies is they hold for a while.
Corey Go.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Water Burger, Patty Melt, and Doctor Pepper.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
You can stock up on the Doctor Pepper, the water burger,
not so much, earl go my grandchildren. Oh wow, Well,
I wasn't going that deep because I was hoping we'd
keep our loved ones close, that we'd just kind of
be shut in like in the movies or sean go ahead,
makers mark? What oh maker's mark? Well see that there again.
(11:48):
Y'all are kind of proving something to me. If the
things that you would most miss are shelf stable for
a couple of years, that's the beauty of bourbon. That
was actually one of the reasons I started switching more
to brown water than beer, is that beer is so
(12:08):
temperature sensitive, at least the way we drink it here
Europeans drink warm beer. But the idea that you could
have even more so than wine. You open a bourbon,
that bourbon is good to go when you you can
close it up and come back in a year and
it's just as good. Trust me, I've done it. You
can tote it anywhere. It basically any temperature. It can
(12:31):
sit out in your hot car. Beer goes flat, wine
goes sour. You think of all the categories. If makers
mark is that thing you would missed the most, just
go stock up on it, and Maker's Mark is not
in as short a supply just yet. Alex, what will
you miss most during the apocalypse.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh, we are probably gonna lose this before the apocalypse.
But my escape is Formula one INDYECAR NASCAR.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Oh yeah, see that'll be first to go. Yeah, that'll
be That'll be long go. Although are they are they
eat up with the whole political.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Correctness depending on what series you look at, Yes, across
the board, they're kind of beholden to the oil companies
like the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, and the oil companies are running scared, so the
oil companies have to outliberal the liberals. Some of the
organizations and causes that these oil companies are funding, it
just blows. They are absolutely subsidizing their own suicide. They're
subsidizing their own demise. And what they think is that
(13:33):
if they can hand over enough of their neighbors to
the nazi liberal global warming hyenas, then they'll be saved.
You're just delaying and empowering. You're feeding the fire that
will consume you. Some of these oil companies should be
absolutely ashamed of themselves what they ought to be doing.
The way musk is is fighting back. They ought to
(13:56):
all be declaring war, but they're not. Be surprised how
many fortune five hundred CEOs are very very weak men.
All they want is they got eighteen months till a
change of control where the company is sold to this
or that company, and that triggers their options to vest
and they can go off on their boat in the Mediterranean.
(14:18):
And oh, they'll spend their entire retirement. I've seen this.
They'll spend their entire retirement. Boy, I'll tell you what
is Michael, It's terrible. What's happening. It's really happenings terrible.
What's happening in this car? Man, I'm glad you're talking
about it. Well, what did you do when you had
a position where you could have made a difference? Boy, tie,
you can't do anything anymore. I mean your hands are tied.
(14:38):
I mean that's just the way things are. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You allowed things to be that way. Admire the people
who stand up and speak out because they do so
at great cost. Nancy, what will you miss during the apocalypse?
Roasted nuts, mixed nuts, chucklate covered nuts, any kind of
nuttiness old world? Wow, what kind of nuts do you
(15:04):
eat any kind of nuts. My favorite dark chocolate covered almond.
Oh wow, I love Have you ever had the the
white covered almonds?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And yeah, yeah, yeah, I got a stash.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Of those, and then the uh, that's good, that's good
movie theater food.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And have you ever had the yogurt covered pretzels?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't my pretzels.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well you don't have to. You'll like this. I'm serious.
Next time you go to the grocery store, go over
and they will have yogurt covered pretzels. And now they
have not just yogurt cover pretzels, they have strawberry yogurt
covered pretzels, chocolate yogurt covered pretzels, all sorts of different
flavored yogurt covered pretzels. And they are something to behold.
(15:55):
Don't eat them when it's hot, because they're melting on you. Okay,
but see there again, everything y'all are saying are things
that you could stock up on. Now forget the toilet
paper that lady needs to go get all the nuts
she can possibly get. She needs to just hoard all
the nuts that she can possibly get. Jim, what you
got something you and I have in common? I have
(16:17):
a hat you have a hat Chicko sticks. Oh, oh yeah,
Chico Stix, Amen brother. The name of that company, Ramon,
It's out of Lufkin or somewhere East Texas. It's the
name of that company. Yeah, we had them on. She
sent a big old box of stuff. Oh, I didn't
let you know that. Jason Fresh ground coffee can't handle
(16:40):
the freeze fried stuff. That's Atkinson is the company that
is one of my great joys in life. Jason is
my wife, being from India. She makes me a chai
every morning when I wake up, and as I scurry
(17:02):
out the door, she meets me at the door and
hands it to me and walks me out. And I
drink that until about ten o'clock, depending on how my
pace is going, and then at ten. Ramon starts making
coffee at about seven o'clock every morning, and so by
ten I've been smelling that coffee in here for a
while and I can hear it percolating and all that. Prey.
(17:25):
You think about this, of all the great joys in life,
and how much joy coffee gives me. It's such a
simple thing, right, It's not a heavily mechanize It's such
a simple thing. It's just water over beans. Hot Bizar
(17:47):
of talk radio The Michael Barry Show. Well, we have
a twofer. It's a gay dude. But this has nothing
to do with monkey pops And it's a Florida man story,
and Florida man is not gay. Let me explain. David
(18:08):
Martinez is a construction worker by trade, and he tried
to kill his brother with a kitchen knife. And I
know what you're thinking, Zar, why would he do that
to his own kin? Well, it seems that Dave wasn't
happy that his brother may have been a homosexual, at
(18:31):
least that's the assumption, since he had threatened to quote
cut the gay away. Apparently he kept threatening to cut
his brother's quote gay away while he was sharpening his knife.
And that's probably enough to stare to scare a gay
(18:52):
fellow straight, I'd think, Ramon, do you know which part
of the body contains the gay? Like, if he was
just he is going to r of it out and
scoop it out and get it out of there. I mean,
is it inside the booty? Is it? Where would it
is that where they go looking for it? Where is
(19:12):
the gay? Is it behind the knee, the elbow? Where was,
Which got me to thinking, this isn't the first time
we've heard language like this. Do you remember when Chick
fil A came out against gay marriage and a position
(19:36):
they should be entitled to have. Do you remember the
name Adam Smith? Not the economist, not the Scottish economists.
He was the guy who decided to film himself protesting
in the Chick fil A drive through. This was twenty fourteen,
and if you remember, people would go through the Chick
fil A drive through and they would yell at the
(19:57):
poor minimum wage employee on the other side of the glass.
They would yell at them that you're an awful human
being because you work for Chick fil A. Kids are
just trying to pay their rent. Well, Adam Smith filmed
himself and thought he was going to be very clever.
He was the CFO of some company and he filmed himself.
(20:19):
He ends up getting fired the next day. Do you
remember this this exchange.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Well, I'm waiting in line, I'm next to nine. I'm
pretty excited about my free water. I also see like
a group of thirty college age students over there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'm wondering if they're doing a sit in. I'm so excited.
I might just join them.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Let's see what happens with my free water, And I
think I might just say a few words too.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Let's see, it's been a long line.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
There's a long line of cars too. I don't know
if you can see, but it's you know, people don't
have to have their Chick fil A and so I
gay breakfast sandwich. Mmm, always tastes better when it's full
of hate.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
M Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Come on, I want my free water. Come on. I
really hope those students over there are gonna do a
sit in. I think they are. It just makes sense. Hey, right, Hey,
how you doing good? Is this my free water? It
is awesome? You know why I'm getting the free water?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Because Chick fil A is a hateful corporation. I disagree.
I wouldn't I know, but don't I know?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
But you guys, but the corporation gives money to hate
hate groups, hate groups just because people want to kiss
another guy.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Sorry, I have to say your belief. Yeah, I believe
that too.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
I don't believe corporations should be giving money to hateful groups.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Totally understand. I'll take my walk, of course.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I'm glad that I can take a little bit of
money from Chick fil A and maybe less money to
hate groups.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Have a great day. I don't know how you live
with yourself and work here. I don't understand it. This
is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better.
You deserve better. Rachel deserves better. Okay, I will. I
just did something really good. I feel purposeful. Thank you
so much. Okay.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I'm a nice guy, by the way, and I'm totally heaterosexual.
I'm not none, not gay in me. I just can't
stand the hate. You know, you gotta stop. It's gotta stop. Guys,
stand up, all right, see you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
He said, I'm totally heterosexual, not a gay in me.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I'm totally heterosexual, no, not gay in me?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Who play the game? Who says that.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I'm totally heaterosexual, no, not gay and me.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I think you doth protest too much there, Adam. He
got fired the next day. I like it's a part
where he sees a bunch of kids outside a store
about a block away and he just assumes this is
nineteen sixty seven or nineteen seventy one, and they're having
some sit in like John and Yoko.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I really hope those students over there are going to
do a sit in. I think they are. It just
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
So this totally heterosexual dude without a gay inside him.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I'm totally heterosexual, none I gay and me has just
harassed a young lady who maintained poise throughout.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Good for her. So we're back to Dave Martinez trying
to cut the gay out of his brother Florida man.
I like to think. Did y'all watch the movie Heathers.
It was a cult classic from nineteen eighty nine Christian
Slater Winona Ryder. It's a dark comedy about a couple
(23:55):
that starts killing their high school classmates, and in the
scene where about to play, it's the funeral of the
two football players that they killed, and in order to
keep from getting caught, they set it up to look
like a murder suicide between two gay lovers. They weren't gay,
they weren't lovers. Their classmates just killed them and set
(24:17):
this thing up. But the dad of one of the
dead boys stands up to profess his love for his
dead son. Because any way you can hear me, Kurt, buddy,
I don't care that you really were some pansy your
(24:39):
own flesh and blood. And no, you may be proud.
My son's a homosexual and I love him. I love
my dad gay son.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I don't like men no more.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I like women.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
E Michael Berry, I'm not gay no more.
Speaker 2 (25:08):

Mama Vicker, Alma Grinner, Mamah Lover.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
My friend Ben Wernig was the first person I ever
knew to introduce me to Shirley cu Lickor. And we
were young, I mean we were we were in school.
I can't remember. But in Orange Shirley cue Lickor, before
she was ever on the radio, was an answering machine.
(26:07):
And you would call and she would dispense wisdom and
change the message every couple of days. And so you
would call and when you'd hope the line wouldn't be busy.
This was before and if if it started ringing. You
go listen, y'all, listen, y'all list y'all listen, and you'd
all gather around because you didn't have a speakerphone. Listen, listen,
(26:28):
and then Shirley Culicker would would answer, and it would
just be you never knew what it would be. It
could be anything. It just be nonsense, that today's ignorance,
and you'd be so excited and then you caught in
called again, but you couldn't get back through. My dad
said that out at the plant, in the C unit,
which is where he worked, in the maintenance unit, they
would sit and they'd take turns dialing and this was
(26:51):
to to to to to to. That was back when
you when you die. We didn't have area codes back then,
but just dialing seven numbers would take a minute. Right
when there was a when Kogt would have the Turkey
gobble that play the you could win a you could
win a uh, you could win a turkey, and so
(27:14):
you'd wait for the gobble. So what you do is
you dial six numbers. It's like eight eight three, five,
five nine nine or whatever it was. So you do
eight eight three, five five nine, and you'd wait. You
have your hand on that nine and a minute that say,
go you do just the nine, you'd wait on the
last numbers. Yeah, the gobble?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
What did the.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Gobbles sound like? I don't know. We need somebody that
can do a good gobble. Uh, I can. I can
hear it in my mind's eye. I just can't replicate
it right, right right, Give me some time to think
on that. I'm not great impersonations or or pet sounds
(27:53):
like the Beach Boys. I can't think exactly how it. Yeah,
that's not it, gobble. It's better with do come on
well something like that. Yeah. So they would do that
and then you'd call. But anyway, so I had to
tell you his story real quick. So Chance calls me
(28:15):
yesterday and he says, hey, talking to a woman and
her dad is a uh her dad played football at
Port Natures Groves and he's texting me. He's all excited.
And I said, yes, I'll know him. What year did
(28:37):
he graduate? So his daughter says, the daughter is the
one that called in. We want a legacy film on
my dad. He's got all these great stories. Graduated seventy two.
Turns out he graduated seventy one, but the daughter got it. Wrong,
graduated seventy two. I said, oh, he'll know my friend
Jeff the jet burs Run. So I send back Jeff
the Jet Burge Run, and then I immediately panic. He's
(29:00):
going to say, Michael has a friend that would have
gone to school with your dad, Jeff the Jet burger Rod.
I just know he's going to screw it up. But
he didn't because he's done so many of these life films, now,
these heritage films on people in the because a lot
of the folks that call come from the Golden Triangle
(29:20):
all the way into Houston. And now he's got a
big client base in Louisiana, especially southwest Louisiana. So Bergeron
is pretty So he didn't screw up Bergeron. I was
happy about that. I immediately sent him a phonetic pronunciation on
how to say Bergeron, because if you screw that up,
you're going to sound like a goober, especially to somebody
for port Natures, Gross p andng the Indians. So he said, oh,
(29:44):
I got it, don't worry. So he's text me back.
I said, ask her if her dad knew Jeff the
Jet Burgeron and she immediately says yes, because Jeff the
Jet Bergeron was a legend back in the day. Nineteen
seventy two, the top football prospect coming out of the
state of Tech with Steve Wooster. And that name doesn't
mean anything to you, Ramone, but I can tell you
(30:05):
that he went to Bridge City, which is why I
know this. It wasn't just because he's from Bridge City.
He went to UT. He was a superstar for people
that were following football fifty years ago. Steve Wooster was
the greatest white boy to play football. I mean it
was like it was. It was all Steve Wooster to
(30:27):
this day. I was at an event maybe ten years ago,
ten fifteen years ago, and Steve Wooster walked in. I
think it was a UT alumni event. I don't remember
what it was, but Wooster walked in and everybody in
the room wanted to go over and shake his hand.
This guy was such a legend on the field that
fifty years later people still talk about it. That was
seventy two. Nineteen seventy four, the greatest high school athlete
(30:49):
coming out of high school going to college was number
twenty at University of Texas, where he committed the Tyler
Rose Earl Campbell nineteen seventy three was Jeff the jet
Burge Roun. I have confirmed that with Wade Phillips, whose
daddy coached him. So I said, hey, ask, oh boy,
(31:11):
I spoke to me cigars last night, So I apologize.
I'm too lazy to hit the cough button. Yes, I'm
clearing my throat a lot. It was maybe a four
cigar day yesterday. I was doing a lot of reading
and I started this nasty little habit. But yes, I
know I'm clearing my throat. I know it's irritating, so
I apologize in advance. All right, Oh, hold on, we
got a good gobbler, Ethan. You're a good gobbler, Ethan.
(31:35):
Oh dang it, Ethan, are you a good gobbler?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeap?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
All right, well, let's hear it. It's not bad. Work
on that. During the break. We'll come back. I need
a little more base in there, all right. So Jeff
the jet Berge Round was the top high school prospect
in nineteen seventy three. Superstar right. Well, I know him
(32:01):
because his daughter, Tanna, beautiful beautiful woman, is married to
Steve Parcombe, who everybody in law enforcement in Southeast Texas knows.
Tanna is with one of the big drug companies. She's
like a regional vice president. She's married to Steve Peacone
and Steve Pericombe was Chris his best friend. They talked
every morning like two teenage girls. Greatest guy you everyone meet.
(32:24):
So anyway, I gotta get this story done before we
get to break. So I called Jeff the Jet after
that and I said, Hey, Steve Osborne. He says, Steve
Osborne was like my big brother. He was almost like
a father. Figured to me he was two years older
than he was a free safety. That guy would hitch you.
He's great guys, but he's done very well for himself.
And so I texted Wade fell Us. We were going
back and forth about high school legends. So here's my
(32:44):
question to you. If you mentioned Jeff the Jet burger
on in my household because my brother worshiped him too,
we all did. My dad drove the my grandfather drove
the bus for the local high school football teams. What
is the name of that guy when you were growing
up that his name inspire just absolutely legend that never
(33:04):
went on to play pro football. So you're gonna tell
us the year the high school and his name wherever
you went to high school, come on,
