Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time time, lock and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air. Good morning, how

(00:25):
you're doing this?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Here is Sheridy Cue Liquor with your morning traffic report
from the corner of Third Street and Martin Luther King Drive.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
How you doing it?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We hadn't been too much and wout this morning. It
was a turquoise callect that came up through here a
while ago, and I could swear that was my sister's
bowing my car. And if I catch I'm a cursor
out because she's not supposed to be riding around with
the bass music pumping like that trump be flying open
and clothed.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
That's ignorant.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
It was.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
The eighteenth wheeler was by him a few minutes ago
and did not come to a complete stop. I told him,
I said, y'all was a lucky I it's not an
opposite law, be right tickets behind all this ignorant up
in here doing foolishness. Dis morning anyway, I'm hunger. Could
y'all send me some ignorant Muslims or something down here?
It's some hot coffee. My nerves are just stressed out.

(01:11):
Why y'all drop me downhill? Don't wait anyway. Drive carefully, honey, they.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Need a quarter five.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
The Village People announced last night that they would be
performing at the Trump inauguration, so we started with the
Village People, and Ramon decided he would play all homo artists.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
For the rest of the show.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
So after the third such gay song, I got a
number of emails on the subject, and one of them said,
y'all are going pretty gay today, which wouldn't be a
big deal except that's from gay Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Remember, gay Dave, you have received the seal of approval
from gay Dave.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
When gay Dave says you're going gay, he doesn't even
mean it as an insult.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
You are legitimately Debbie rights.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
That building, the HPD rat infestation, was built as the
first synagogue for the Jewish community who worked downtown but
lived in the heights to escape the Bayou mosquitoes. They
weren't permitted to walk more than a mile to Sabbath services.
You can still see the Ten Commandments tablets on the
front and the smaller second floor windows where the women sat.

(02:27):
How about that, Bobby writes, mushrooms have a shaft, not
a stem, and of course a bulbous mushroom, Bobby, Now
is that nice? Is that the kind of thing we
should be writing. Another listener says, Step one, get the
rats addicted to drugs. Step two, we now have a
homeless drug addicted rat problem. Step three, someone at city

(02:51):
hall finds a way to create a program for the
homeless drug addicted rats that they can personally profit from. Yeah,
that ought to pretty much do it up. Chris has
the idea of the day for drug storage, easy solution,
the astronome store them there. Saturday's playoff game, they kept

(03:12):
doing a drone shot. I don't think it was a
blimp shot, but it's a drone shot. Do you notice
the roof was open on Saturday? Do you know what
it's saying?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (03:21):
And it was aggravating because there was light streaming in
at about the thirty five yard line on one end
of the stadium. I don't remember which one it is.
I guess you could figure it out based on what
time of day and when the sun is coming in,
but I'm not Copernicus. And there was a moment there
that the Texans had the sun in their eyes. The

(03:41):
announcers even remarked on that, And my thought is just
go ahead and close that thing and air condition and
heat it.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Unless.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
I don't know why people get so excited over whether
the roof's going to be alding. We get that at
the Astros game. Oh, sports radio, that's all roof, roof,
who's going to be open and what? Well, Oh, it's
a very good question. Why have it if you're not
going to open? That's exactly right. Don't have it. That

(04:11):
goes into the category of things that most people when
they buy it, are never gonna use it. Uh, the
stationary bicycle. It's gonna end up being a place to
put your clothes and it's not as efficient as other stuff.
Hot tub, A lot of people buy a hot tub.
How many houses if you ever walked up on and

(04:34):
they got the hot tub out on the back from
when he was from after he got divorced and then
he was single and for a while he'd sit out.
He's gonna have his hot tub, and he's gonna bring
the girl out there. We're gonna have dates and now drinks.
Then he got married and that same woman doesn't want
to sit in the hot tub with him anymore. She's
in there watching romance novels and crying and he's out
and he doesn't want to go out there to his
hot tub anymore. That was during his you know, momentary

(04:57):
single phase.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
They work. He bought a convertible, she got rid of it.
That was what that was.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
And now the top of the hot tub has dry
rotted out. Because that's always the same, isn't it. It's
always kind of pollen covered, dry rotted out. We all
know that same brown pleather that it had on their
Naugahyde whatever. That was always exactly the same. So Ramon
played the theme music for a song called Ben from

(05:23):
a TV show called Ben. Apparently that song went to
number one. I looked this up. I knew nothing about it.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
It says.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Ben is a nineteen seventy two horror film directed by
Phil Carlson and starring Leigh Montgomery, Joseph Campanella, and Arthur O'Connell.
It is a sequel to the film Willard. The film
follows a lonely boy named Danny Garrison who befriends Willard's
former pet.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Rat named Ben.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Ben becomes the boy's best friend, protecting him from bullying
and keeping his spirits up in the face of a
heart condition. However, Ben forms an army of deadly rodents
while the police attempt to control it. Well, we got
the cops fighting the rats, now, okay, all right, yeah
that sounded like a great idea. But Chad went back

(06:09):
and found the trailer for the movie and it is
exactly as bad as you thought. This is the real
trailer for the movie.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Ben.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
Yeah, right, yeah, where Willard ended, Ben begins. Ben is
coming from Cinerama Releasing, and this time he's not alone.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
Maybe he was.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
Ben.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
That's the name of the leader of the rats. There
were some pages from Willard's diary in the newspapers.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
And those rats killed three people.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
All residents, go in and stay in your houses.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Drive the rats in a tank area.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
They're really get some light down there, and.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
They're coming for you.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
You're coming, You're gonna bring you by, and then they're
gonna drown you.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Run please, Ben and his army of rats are on
the way.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
Alish, That's that sounds like a really good movie. Can
you hear the guy out on the day. So what
do you do for a living? Well, I write and
produce movies. Oh really in Hollywood?

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, you're working on anything right now.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
As matter of fact, Diane, what's it about, well, it's
a kid, a heart condition, is a rat, but he's got.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
A whole army of rats and they're going to take
over the city. That sounds interesting, What a DIF.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Show.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
The Pete Hegseth's Department of Defense Secretary of Defense confirmation
hearing has begun. Doug Collins' former Georgia congressman ran for
Senate and loss to be Veterans Affairs Secretary has been
delayed because the FBI did not complete their background check.

(08:58):
You can't make this stuff. An illegal alien invested with
a million dollars worth of drugs and a taxpayer funded
migrant shelter in the Boston area just doing the work
You Americans won't do the story from Boston NBC.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
We've got a housing crisis that we've got to deal with.

Speaker 8 (09:17):
Massachusetts Governor Mari he Lely is ordering renewed inspections at
all state shelters.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
There'll be room inspections, and you know, we'll work to
make sure that they're done lawfully.

Speaker 8 (09:27):
The move comes after investigators found a million dollars worth
a feentanyl, cocaine, and an assault rifle in one of
the rooms of the quality in hotel and Revere, which
serves as an emergency shelter. That's where police arrests a
twenty eight year old Leonardo Sanchez, and undocumented immigrant from
the Dominican Republic.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Massachusetts is the only state in the nation to have
this policy of housing migrants from day one when they
come across the.

Speaker 8 (09:50):
Warner, the state's Republican party chair says, the governor must
reform the shelter system and end the right to shelter law.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
We've seen incidents is time and again of public safety
being jeopardized.

Speaker 8 (10:04):
Definitely not enough support. Robin Gerston, a social worker, welcomes
the inspections and wants to see more resources that can
ensure people's safety. Things were just filthy and there was
no oversight. There's already rules at state shelters, including inspections, curfews, housekeeping,
and background checks. Yet the governor says Sanchez found his
way into the shelter without registering with the program. Heally

(10:26):
has been working to ease the strain on the shelter
system and dissuade immigrants from coming to the state, while
also noting that out of the sixty five hundred migrants
who went through the system, more than half about forty
eight hundred are out now with work permits and a job.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
They're getting the skills and getting them the documentation so
they can have valid jobs. So, because desperation, desperate people
do desperate things.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Then at the inauguration on the twentieth, Resident Trump's MAGA
garbage truck will be part of the parade. New York
Post reporting quote the Make America Great Again themed garbage truck,
which made its first appearance on the campaign trailised October
in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is set to rumble down the

(11:12):
streets of Washington, d C. During the traditional Inauguration day
parade held after the president takes the oath of office.
Multiple outlets reported on Monday, Trump, donning an orange safety
vest and hard hat, rode in the passenger seat as
the Big Beautiful truck maneuvered around a Wisconsin airport tarmac

(11:35):
in a political stunt one day after Biden eighty two
referred to Trump supporters as garbage. The garbage truck followed
Trump's motorcade to the rally venue, where the forty fifth president,
still wearing his workman's vest, explained how the plan to
seize on Biden's attack with a customized sanitation vehicle was hatched.

(12:00):
One of my people came in and said, so, you know,
the word garbage is the hottest thing right now. Would
you like to drive a garbage truck? Trump said, And
they pulled up this garbage truck. I don't know how
the hell they did it so fast, he marveled. Next

(12:20):
week's parade, organized by the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, will
take the newly amended president from the Capitol Building down
Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. About seventy five hundred
participants representing veterans groups, first responders, high school and university
marching bands, and equestrian teams are also expected to take
part in the parade, which will commence immediately after the

(12:41):
noon ceremony for Trump at the Capitol concludes that line
right there, sir, you know the word garbage is the
hottest thing right now? Would you like to drive a
garbage truck? And they pulled up this garbage truck.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
How the hell they did it so fast. That is
a strikeforce. That is what is known as the rapid
response team. Good campaigns have people who were put there
by the candidate himself. But it's not the candidate who

(13:30):
conceives the idea of the truck and says, would you
like to ride in the truck because I've got one
parked outside? But it just happened an hour ago. Yeah,
this is a real campaign.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's what we do. The moment at which I saw Trump.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
In that dump truck with the Trump sticker on the side, Now,
granted it's probably a magnetic sticker, but you had to
have them laying around ready, and there he was in
his orange vest, riding along.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So quick.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
I immediately thought, how did they get that done that fast?
If you can do things like that, you can do anything.
There are certain people who go from concept to execution
just like that. Those people do not work in government.

(14:38):
People tend to end up in places where they feel comfortable.
People who end up in a windowless been, the windowless
bowels of an office building where they will work for
the minimum number of years to get benefits and a retirement,

(15:01):
who are sullen and listless at all times, pushing a
paper over here and stamping this one, taking off the
maximum number of days they possibly can, and they know
exactly how many they ended up in that job. It's
not that a bright light was dimmed because they ended
up there. They end up in a job like that,

(15:26):
and certain people who are getting done kind of people
would bristle under that kind of environment. It would be
Orwellian in nature. It would be awful, and God helped
the person because you know, early in your life you're
just trying to get a job if you end up

(15:47):
in that kind of job. So my question is, if
this inauguration is to reflect America.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
What would you like to see in the parade?

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. I love
this Scrubber Street seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
To Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Bobby writes, I saw the movie Ben at the decrepit
old Showboat Theater in Texas City. There might have been
more rats in the theater than on the screen. Ramone
over the break. I guess he was bored, so he

(16:28):
found himself in a situation where he needed to go
to the emergency room. So hello, what time of day
did you get there? Two o'clock in the morning. He's
at the emergency room and you are released the following day.

(16:49):
So you're admitted, But when are you released.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
To I know?

Speaker 5 (16:54):
But how many hours later? You have to help me
because we're in the middle of the night. It's like
talking to my parents.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
So fifty hours, okay. So he gets his bill in
the mail yesterday, five zero hours. They didn't put a
balloon in his heart, or replace his wiener, or do
a brain transplant. But he owes forty two hundred dollars

(17:27):
Blue Cross, Blue Shield, paid twenty two thousand dollars, twenty
six thousand dollars. No major procedures. Well, now they have
to itemize it. One of the ivs they put in
him was nine hundred dollars. Nine hundred dollars for an IV.

(17:51):
We're in the wrong business. Our healthcare system is so
screwed up. A buddy of mine, his wife's had died,
and he decided that in order to take better care
of himself, can't manage what you can't measure that he

(18:11):
would get a blood glucose monitor. I've had other friends
get a blood glucose monitor because he was going to
control his blood, his blood sugar, and he wanted to
test and see what it did to his body. Sandy
Peterson did this. She's not diabetic. She just decided she

(18:32):
wanted to see with each item she eats, how that
affects her blood sugar. She's a scientist at heart. So
she got one of those things and you put it
on the back of you. Matt Trumbull has one. I
think Matt Trumble, Well, my dad's the first person Evenue
to have it. Matt Trumble was the first person here
Avenue to have And so it goes on the back
of your arm, and it sends the information for my

(18:53):
dad because he's not good with the phone.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
It goes to a little.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Like a stopwatch that a ref would have, or whistle
that hangs around his neck and he can he literally
looks at it constantly because his blood sugar gets me
very careful with his blood shirt. And so Sandy Peterson
got one, and she's this has been several months, and
so she will send me, Hey, this is interesting.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Brown Rice is supposed to be so great. Here's what
Brown Rice, Here's.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
Where I was and whatever her number was, one hundred
and ten, Here's what Brown Rice did.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Here's what white Rice did.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Negligible difference and world of difference in flavor one of
many things that were lied to about by industries that
want to sell us product and public health that either
doesn't know or is stupid, but usually it's because that's
what they're paid to say. Back to my story, So

(19:50):
my buddy, like Sandy Peterson, decides, well, you know, why
don't I, since I'm probably pre diabetic, get myself one
of these things. So his wife had a prescription for it,
obviously she's diabetic. So he decides to go over the counter.
Ask me, you know any over the counter you know

(20:13):
this product? And I said, I don't. My dad's is
kind of advanced. We're real excited when he got it.
It's probably overkilled for what you're doing. You're just trying to,
you know, get your blood sugar under controls. You're not
under a doctor's care yet this particular person probably will
be in a year or two. But anyway, so he said, well,

(20:39):
I'm going to go check it out. It turns out
that to get even the most basic system you got
to have a prescription from a doctor. But wait, there's more.
There are programs. There are sellers of the product that'll
give you there one eight hundred NOE and you call

(21:01):
and go, hey, I want to buy your product, and
they go, great, hold on, we've got to put you
with our doctor. Now, this doctor is a doctor that
really doesn't have a practice. He's just paid to sell
his license. So the doctor says how old are you
and doesn't pay attention.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Are you fat?

Speaker 5 (21:20):
What's your favorite movie? What's your favorite Elvis song? Elvis
or Sinnaptra? You know, ten questions whatever they may be,
Led Zeppelin, which album? And then he goes, okay, I
think you need.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
A prescription for whatever it is you called up here for.
What Did you need a Wiener drug hair product?

Speaker 5 (21:42):
No, I just want one of those meters that goes
on your back, on your back, of your arm that
Abbott Laboratories makes. And they go, okay, here's your prescription
and we'll send it in the mail and here's what
you pay. So was that really necessary? The question would
be this, like a PIZA warrant. What percentage of people

(22:04):
are turned down? So why are we still requiring a
prescription for that? There's no reason to. There's absolutely no
reason to. Doctor Mary Tally Boden has made it her
cause that since doctors won't prescribe ivermactin and pharmacies were
refusing to give it out. Remember it was horse paced.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
It was going to kill you.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
Turns out now even CBS, NBC, ABC, now go, it
turns out Ivermactin was probably the best thing to treat COVID.
Oh now you tell us. Okay, if you seen you've
seen a video of people who go in, you know,
they would line up the cattle would line up to
get their shots, and they would bring they would bring

(22:45):
somebody out on a gurney that had just reacted to
that shot. And the people are watching it, but they
don't get out of line. Why do you think that
guy's being brought out of there? That guy wasn't gonna
die of COVID. He's twenty eight years old. And there
you are, like the sheep to the slaughter, going along.
I'm gonna get my shot, and they're gonna give me

(23:06):
a sticker. It's like I like to wear my eye
voted sticker, and I like to I have my shot.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Did you get yours?

Speaker 8 (23:12):
Here?

Speaker 5 (23:12):
Let me move my mask so I can say it,
you can hear me. And there they go, going on through.
This is absurd and nobody wants to fix it. I
saw a post by Barack Obama this weekend reminding people
to get signed up for Obamacare, and I thought.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
You got a lot of nerve. Dude, you got a
lot of nerve.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
But then I realized he's probably getting paid by the companies.
There are people that got rich off Obamacare. There are
you suffered from it. You lost your company health care plan,
which they called a Cadillac health care plan. If a
company wanted to take better care than the most basic
socialized Cuban primary care clinic of their employee, what business

(24:03):
is it of the government. Well, that's compensation, and remember
I rule them any form of compensation.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
We want to get in between and get our cut.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
Oh I'm sorry, I thought you wanted people to be
taken care of from a health perspective.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Sound the warehouse, so that says it's give them the
stars sale.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Including Michael very shoe Holy sound warehouse.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
By not read Stephen right, sir.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
I'd like to see one hundred foot tall Macy's Day
parade style helium balloon with the whole McDonald's gang, Ronald McDonald, Hamburglar,
Grimace Mayor mac Cheese and the rest of the crew
wearing the nineteen seventies style pinstripes uniforms. That's what I'd
like to see in the parademond.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Well i'm older than you.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Let me just quan't tell you. In the seventies and
into the eighties, McDonald's was cool that they've changed. It's
kind of ghetto now. Realistically, it is kind of I
don't know why.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's funny. It's kind of ghetto now, It's true. And
they went that direction, right.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
They they changed. Maybe because we were poor at the time,
so I didn't Maybe they were ghetto back then. I
don't know, but I remember going to McDonald's was a treat.
It wasn't like you know, it wasn't where you didn't
think to yourself, oh, this is where poor people go

(25:32):
for fast food.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Because it was well.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
We didn't eat out, even need a even fast food.
We didn't eat out. So if we ate out, that
was a big deal. And I can remember going in
and it was like a miniature version of Astroworld. I'm
not joking, I'm serious. It was exciting, very exciting. The
colors and they had a playground and I don't know

(25:58):
if you remember, but the playground had a little a
little like they knew the kids would end up in prison,
so you had a hamburger that was held together by
prison bars and you'd sit in there, you know, like
a monkey in the zoo, and your parents. Your mother
would look at you and just hope you didn't come
out so she could have a moment of peace, a moment.
My mother didn't drink or do volume, so bless her heart,

(26:19):
she just suffered through it all. I don't know how
she did it. She had no she didn't smoke, she
didn't drink, she didn't do volume. For women of that age,
she didn't shop. Poor woman, she needed a device. Bless
her heart. I feel for her now thinking about it,
because I'm bouncing off the walls. And there you were.
You you were inside the hamburger. You were the meat

(26:39):
of the hamburger. And you were holding onto the prison bars.
My ma, my lie, and they had it turfed. There
was all sorts of stuff to do over. There was
one thing that you'd get on. They don't make these
types of toys anymore, but you'd sit on it and
it had it had like a coiled spring that you
could move all around. I mean, you know those things

(27:00):
will eventually break, right, you know it. But it gave
you a freedom of movement that was really really impressive. Yeah,
I mean McDonald's. You wanted McDonald's, especially if you always
had to eat at home what mama made.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Which was better for you and actually better food. You
wanted to go out to McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
At McDonald's they use buns. The meat covers the whole bread.
Are your mothers. The meat's right in the middle of
the bread with grease running through the middle, making the
bread stick to the plate.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Now it's big green.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Peppers hanging out the top of this big.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Meatfall on the bread, and you try to put some
ketchup on it, and the mix with the grease turned
the bread into pink dough. Then you grab it and
get fingerprinted, and you got big pink fingerprints in the dough.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
And you're standing there.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Looking at it, and you try to make it look
like McDonald's. So you rip the edges off around and
make it round, and you got green peppers and grease
running down your hands. And your mother said, now go
on outside and play.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Kids.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Got McDonald's they auside go, we got met done, No
Pam of us met McDonalds.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
I got mcdone.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
No are you staying there with this big house burger.
And here's the honesty where you get that big welfare
green pepper burger.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
You Christ, my mother made it. But you look at now,
fifty four years old. I want that homeburger. Oh it's
got bell peppers in it. Nonions.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Oh it's it's hand padded. Oh a nice ham padded burger.
Oh it's uneven. My mom would make the burger straight
from the ground round right, and so the burger would
be kind of like a chicken fried, kind of like

(29:05):
a cube state. It kind of be raggedy. The edges
weren't perfectly made, and when you're younger, you think, well,
this doesn't look right. You know, burger's supposed to be
perfectly that's because they took that burger out as a
frozen block and dropped it on the grill. Of course
it was perfectly made in the corporation and shipped there.
But you got mama's home burger hand patted. Of course

(29:27):
it's you know, some of the edges might come off,
but you didn't mind. That's a good burger right there.
Kelly writes. My Trump parade suggestion is the Buffalo Chaman
Shaman should lead as a drum major.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
You got to have that guy. Now, you've got to.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Have mister January sixth, you just do. So one of
the things I'm not asking for anybody's sympathy. But one
of my great regrets in life is that people don't
tell me stuff because they're afraid that I'll put it
on the air. So I got to hear bad news
in a roundabout way, and that irritates me. Then sometimes

(30:08):
people tell you stuff because they do want it on
the air, and you go, that really wasn't as good
as you think.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
There's a lot of that, Hey, hey, I got the story.
You're gonna want to hear this. You're gonna want to
tell this story.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
And then you hear it and you go, h yeah,
that doesn't pass the interesting enough for the show test.
And let me tell you how low the bar is.
I spent ten minutes talking about the movie Ben that
nobody's seen about a rat takeover. If it doesn't meet
that standard, you got to figure it's not very good.

(30:38):
So I find out from a friend I haven't talked
to in years. I find out from his wife that
he's got some sort of lump, probably assist in his
back that he's having to go in and have it removed.
So I sent him a message and said, why I
gotta find out you have a health issue and you

(31:00):
don't tell me, And he said, let me see if
I can find it. He said, because you talk about
stuff on the air, and I said that hurts. All
you had to do was ask me not to and
I wouldn't. I keep my word on that. Now tell

(31:22):
me about it. How did you realize you had it?
And are you worried about the cyst or lump or
whatever it is? And he said, I noticed a lump
by my shoulder blade while I was working out. Not
a painful one, but I do feel a sensation when
I make certain movements. Susan, that's his wife, took a

(31:43):
picture and sent to my dermatologist. He said, come in
and he'll either inject it or cut it out. He
believes it's a lipoma, a fatty deposit.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I hope he's right.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
Yes, I'm a little concerned, but I feel great and
have recently had blood and you'reine work. All of that
turned out well, but I'm never comfortable to have a
lump suddenly appear. It could also be an epidermoid cyst,
perilaboral cysts, ganglion cysts, or a bone cyst. I don't

(32:18):
know what any of those armor That doesn't sound very
good at all, does it. Wormng The human body is
a funny thing. This stuff just shows up, this a lump.
This could it could be the most fast acting cancer
that you could possibly imagine, or it could just be
a fatty deposit cells side to collect. That's why healthcare

(32:45):
is so important, because you're going to a doctor and
you're trusting him that he's going to get this right.
That's why you don't leave that to the government.
