Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air. Fact Drunk and
stupid is no way to go through life. So I'm
shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my
feet and I'm gonna see the world an old frig
gass water type.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Right, Yes, we believe it is.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'm going steady and that French kiss.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So everybody does that.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, but Jaddy says, I'm the best daddy, a careful man.
The fabrics here, everybody down the ground. We gotta what
on the telescope?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
What the wide wide world of sports of the going on?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Jipsy fellow name Larry sent him message Zar, I watched
a pawn Stars episode episode pawn Stars ramon last night

(01:33):
that had the sports almanac from the Back to the
Future movies signed by Biff and Doc for sale. I
walk into US Coins today and there it was on
the shelf. I don't know if it was the same
one that appeared on pawn Stars. Quit it's pawn Stars,

(01:54):
but I know there were only about twenty five of them.
I am angry with you for not telling me that
they had that and Achem's shoes, among many other coolest
hell things, a Babe Ruth baseball card, a letter from
Thomas Edison, a Picasso painting dollar bills with Indians on it,
feather or not dot. I'm here to lift you up

(02:15):
and talk about what water burger? I'm here to lift
you up and talk about water burger or random things.
But shame on you, Zara, how dare you keep those
things a secret? So I have proposed a solution, and
that is for Kenny to give him one of those
I forget what the coin iss a seventy five dollars coin,
but it has intrinsic value. He hasn't responded to my

(02:37):
offer yet, but we'll see. They do have a lot
of cool things there. I wanted some blue dogs from
my home and office and Kenny Kenny got them, and
I bought them from him, and people will go in
there and buy all sorts of stuffs he's gotten. Ill

(02:57):
bet you we don't talk about it because he's our
Golden Silver guy. But he does a podcast on UH memorabilia.
He has become one of the biggest memorabilia dealers. He's got,
He's got guys under contract, Rick Flair, he had Pete
Rose when he passed. Obviously, Rudy T. A number of

(03:20):
I say it obviously because we had Rudy T because
of him not so long ago, and that was because
of a big signing he was doing. If you're into
collecting memorabilia, and there are people who are really really
into that, he has, uh, that's his passion, it's his hobby.
It's a business unit of He's opening the building next

(03:41):
door to us coins on Ien that's going to be
all memorabilia and cards, and he's doing I forget what
they call it, when they meant a coin in your name,
it's like a mean coin or anyway, he's gotten very,
very big on all that. I don't talk about all
that because the business that we talk about is gold

(04:02):
and silver. Wayne Wright's oaraies in Puerto Rico. This week,
I was walking down the hall to my hotel room
and encountered a strong odor of marijuana. My thought was, wow,
that's strong. My second thought was there were signs in
my hotel room that clearly said I cannot smoke a
cigar on my open balcony. Just like the cruise ships
used to be a highlight to sit on the balcony

(04:24):
have a cocktail light up a good stogy and watch
the ocean go by. But no, not anymore. I don't
care if anyone smokes pot really, but the disdain towards
cigars just baffles me, but not toward the pot smell.
I will tell you something. Pot smokers like real heavy
pot smokers or buy and large, self defeating idiots with

(04:46):
no ability to think strategically. They are the people who
smoke pot in public. When pot gets legalized. The biggest
complaint about pot is not baked driving. That's not the complaint.
The big this complaint is not all of a sudden
men are beating their wives the way they do when
they drink, or getting into fights, because that doesn't happen,

(05:06):
they calm down instead. The biggest complaint is the jackass
that always wanted to light up in public, and now
they light up in public. So you will have communities
Colorado's big on this. You will have communities where marijuana
can be purchased. It can be used recreationally in your
own home, but not in public, and they will ticket

(05:27):
you on that. And pot smokers can't help themselves. Their
goal is to take a joint, walk down the street
in public and blow their smoke and piss everybody off.
It's like the guy with the muffler. It's like the
guy with the loud music. Their whole goal is to
be a jackass, and they don't understand how self defeating

(05:48):
that is. When I get emails complaining about pot, the
number one thing I get is not they'll all go
crazy and demonic and murder us. All it is is
I don't want to smell it in public. And guess what,
I'm a cigar smore. I don't want to smell it
in public either. It smells dirty. I don't know if
that's the actual leaf itself, the plant itself, or if

(06:13):
that is because when I was little, the first time
I smelled it, my mother would have said, that's that dope.
You smell dirty and filthy. That is man, that gets
in your head. Right, You hear that enough, you believe it.
Josh the Landscaper hadn't been on in a long time
on the black line. Go ahead, brother, Josh the Landscaper.
Are you there? Oh? He hung up? Alartie, Okay, all right,

(06:38):
I was going to tell you something. Romon. Oh it
was John the Revelator. It was not killed. It was
John the Revelator. I got during the break an email
from a private equity guy that asked me to make
an introduction to one of my show sponsors because they
are interested in buying him out. And I said, he said,

(07:01):
I understand if you don't want to, because it might
cost you business. And I replied, copying the ownership of
that particular show sponsor, that yes, it very likely would
cost me business. Someone else brought him out. They may
not stay on the air with us. But secondly, it
is a partnership. When people become a show sponsor of
our show, I take it as a fiduciary duty to

(07:23):
help grow their business. Robert Reis may go out to
their business and put signs out, or he may personally
call people to meet him over there to have lunch
to add to their revenues, or he may do any
number of other things. Those are the things we do
for our show sponsors, and that's why our business model

(07:44):
has worked. I had a guy come to me when
we were out at Jco's barbecue this week, and he
owns a big fabrication company. He said, I've wanted to
be a show sponsor for years, but when I call
in the number, I call. Don't call that number. The
number I call sends me to New York and then
they send me somebody and I wanted to talk to you.

(08:05):
If you ever want to be a show sponsor, you
want to be a partner with our show, do not
call the phone numbers. You'll be sent to New York
and some TWRP that I don't want to deal with.
Email me directly through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.
That's how it works, and it works. Tell a very
show at a high school football game where the opposing team,

(08:33):
you can bring that up, thank you, sir, where the
opposing team use this as their intro music, and it's
it's pretty good when it starts the whole team walking in.
There's an art to that, right in a high school
football stadium, having them walk in from the fieldhouse a

(08:56):
single file line, and it builds gets louder louder, and
to watch the guys Helme's on entering with that slowly, surely,
and as the line stacks up. I think there's a
psychological effect to that.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
They didn't love. I hate that you always poopoo my stories.
I'm building a moment here. You know, people can feel it,
and then you go say something stupid. Jason writes, says, sorry,
I just spoke to you on the phone about sending
people to prison for no accident, no injury, DWI. I
knew you were coming up on a break, so I
tried to keep it short. You probably already know this,

(09:37):
but you are a really big deal in the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice. You are on many radios in
the morning and afternoon. In fact, that's where I met you.
Great job every single day. You're a good man, Charlie Brown,
and you inspire me to be better. Thank you. You know,
I think about a guy in prison serving time. Imagine this.

(10:02):
You know, we're brought into this world by a mother
with the highest of hopes. This child's going to be
the president, this child's going to cure cancer, this child's
going to have a great life. And the reality is,
generation after generation that's not true. In fact, that child's
going to be murdered, have an accident, have an illness,

(10:25):
struggle toil interrupted only by moments of ecstasy or at
least happiness. And that's just that's the nature of mankind.
It's what happens. So I imagine there's a guy that gets

(10:48):
sent to prison. You know you ever allow yourself to
walk a moment in a person's shoes and really really
think about it, like you think, I wouldn't want to
be sent to prison. Okay, But now I want you
to put yourself in the mindset. We've all seen movies,
we've all seen reality TV shows. There you are strip naked,

(11:09):
they're probing your butt to make sure you didn't bring
any weapons in, and they give you your orange jumpsuit
and you go walking in. Man. I don't know about you,
but first day a kindergarten was stressful. First day of
junior high when you're elementary fed with another elementary or
more into a consolidated junior high. First day at high

(11:30):
school when you're junior high fed other you know they
funneled in. Now there's consultator. You're nervous. First day of work.
First day at work, you get sent to an office
that's separate from the people that hired you, so you
don't know anybody. First day at the plant, you show up,
you got your lunch your wife made, you got your
little uniform on, got your name on it. You don't

(11:52):
know where the bathroom is. You go walking in there,
you know, your nerves anxious, and you you got to
do it.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Imagine that for prison, because at least when you go
to work, you can hope maybe there's somebody there take
pity on me. Maybe there's some good guys there. You
know what, maybe this is a plant made up of
good guys. You know, maybe I got the good guy plant.
They won't rid me or punch me in the nuts.
That it'll be nice guys, you know, steal my lunch,

(12:21):
crapping my lunch boss. Maybe maybe they won't, you know,
initiate me or haze me. May maybe the I'm going
to enjoy this. When you go to prison, you know
you're going in with the guys that are the worst
or the worst of the worst. Right, and then you
get there and we're put on this earth for so
little time, and there you are. Your life has been

(12:44):
determined that your time on this earth, part of it's
going to be spent in the cage because you can't
act right well, no matter what puts you in the
moment you get there, you think to yourself, I'm losing days.
We all only have sony days and it ain't that many.
And I got to lose some of my days in

(13:05):
time out. I'm in the penalty box. I got to
go down to the locker room. I can't even be
on the sideline with the team. I'm over here doing nothing,
getting older, closer to death, marching towards the end, doing
nothing productive. You imagine the thought of taking a broken
person in making them better, and I'm not saying that's

(13:28):
what we're doing. Look, it can be seductive. There are
people who devote themselves to helping bad guys when they
get out of prison, get their lives back, and the
numbers are the recidivism rates are high. Broken people are
broken people. They're bad decision makers. Whatever got them in
there is going to get them back, and it's not
addiction to I've had this conversation a number of times

(13:51):
with people who will say, you know, oh, Tommy, he's
a good person. It's that bottle that gets him. You
need to understand he's got demons and those demons are
what causes him problems, and he deals with those demons
with alcohol. Alcohol is not his problem. Drugs are not

(14:12):
anybody's problems. Alcohol is not anybody's problem. That problem is
endemic to that person and it is not until that
person can cope with that problem, channel that problem, overcome
that problem that they no longer need a coping mechanism.

(14:34):
But don't blame it on how they cope. The how
they cope is what we like to use as an excuse.
That person's broken. They got something real, real wrong with them,
and you can take away the drug, but you don't
take away the problem. You don't take away the demon.
And whatever that demon is, we all have them of

(14:54):
one sort or another. We're just in varying levels of
ability to cope with it. Ray, you're on the Michael
Berry Show.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yes, sir, how are you doing this? Boy?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm good? Go ahead on me.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Great. Hey, I was just inquiring about the kim trails
in the sky.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Are you black?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yes? I am.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
How come you didn't tell Ramoni you were black? I
he did an act, you said, because so much bass
in your voice. It's a delivery. White people can't do it.
It's it's a fascinating. Hold on.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
This is the Michael Berry Show Show.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Got a message from the brother and mother the beautiful
twenty eight year old girl who was murdered in Dallas recently.
You probably saw this story. She and her I guess, boyfriend.
We're coming out of a downtown restaurant, bar club I

(16:05):
don't know in Dallas on Main Street, and somebody who
was a passenger in a Mercedes claims that they brushed
his car with their hand and he jumped out of
the car and shot and killed her and wounded her boyfriend.

(16:26):
And they asked if I would tell the story to
keep the pressure on the DA And I said, why
don't you tell a story? There is a growing menace
in this country of anger and lashing out, and I
think it is it is two groups of people. It

(16:48):
is white liberals and blacks who are believing the narrative.
When I say blacks, who are that means that's not
all blacks. I know the difference. If you don't think
I know the difference, and you shouldn't be listening to me.
But I think there is this anger that is being
stoked in these people, and they don't know how to

(17:10):
deal with it, and it manifests itself by keying a
tesla or punching somebody in the face, or or going
into a store and sweeping everything off the top shelf.
And they're really doing a disservice to these people. Now,
should these people be able to handle themselves better? Yes, yes,

(17:31):
our people get frustrated over the election fraud in twenty
twenty or the COVID shot. We don't go shoot the
place up. But I really believe that there is a
doctor evil sitting and cracking his knuckles and saying, my
scheme is working perfectly. And it's sad how many people's
lives are going to be destroyed who don't realize that

(17:53):
they are pawns, that this is all a controlled simulation.
And somebody's looking through the last jar with holes punched
at the top, and they're the bug down inside of
it that they're watching carry on like they want them to,
and then ever saw and they just shake the bottle
to get the person wound up again and trying to

(18:13):
get out. It makes me sad for those people, and
it makes me sad for the rest of us, and
it makes me sad for what that means for our country,
because that's not happening in China, and that's not happening
in Japan. This is my country and I love it,
and our pluralism and our diversity is not our strength today.

(18:35):
It's being used to divide. But in order to divide,
you have to take groups of people and you have
to teach them that their identity is the most important thing,
and that everyone else is out to get their identity
and to lash out as a result of it. And
so you're creating this entire combustible. We only have one life,

(18:55):
and to have to live it in a place that
could otherwise be great. That is in easingly fear. They
have studied the effects of fear on the human body.
It takes light, It takes years off your life. Fear, stress, anger, resentment, anxiety.
Those things take years off your life. They have actual

(19:17):
physiological effects. Anyway, we'll talk to that young lady's family
next week. How sad, how sad and senseless. I can
live with somebody dying in brain cancer, friends, their child,
they start a chance for hope. I can live with that.
It hurts, it bothers me deeply, but I understand it.

(19:40):
We're made up of cells, and those cells don't always
line upright, you know. I understand that you could be
the greatest car maker in the history of the world,
and you're still going to have a vehicle that has
a tire fall off. It's just going to happen. It's
the nature of it. You run enough numbers, run enough simulations,
there's gonna be problems. But for someone to be dead
because you're at that moment thinking, that's a rational thing

(20:04):
to do, and people do believe that's a rational thing
to do. It's important to understanding no matter how crazy
someone acts in their mind, they believe that is the
appropriate response. And that's the part that's scary. Ray on
the black line, right, you got Ramon in trouble. I said,
how come you didn't You didn't put him on the
black line? And he said, he didn't tell me, And

(20:25):
I said what He said, Yeah, you don't just get
to be on the black line. You have to tell me.
It's an honor. So I didn't realize we okay, we're
making it up as we go along, but anyway, go ahead,
my man.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Well, you know, I got several numbers, and I was
going through my phone to actually get to speak with you,
and of course I didn't think I would get in
that quick, so I did leave a message on the
other line. But my concern is, you know, just hitting
your conversation. Can I say something about the conversation? Sure?
About people? Whatever you want black people, Yes, sir, about

(20:58):
black people. I'm seventy two years old, let me say
like a seventy two years of age, and I've seen
the transition from when my parents born and raised us,
actually raised and weird us. The generation now it's out
of control. I've been in real estate all my life.

(21:21):
I've owned a very small restaurant, I've got an ac business.
But the young blacks are out of control. No respect,
no honor, no morals. I've been very fortunate enough to
travel all over the world, and I tell the young
people when I see them, how fortunate we are in America.

(21:42):
Everything is not great. But when you go into these
foreign countries. I've been to Brazil, I've been to China,
I've been to France, I've been to Italy. I've been
to London. But when you go to these places and
you see us, you're going to run back to America
because it's not as rate as you would have it
here in America. I tell the young people, look, in America,

(22:04):
you can start a business almost in one day. Clean
yourself up, have some more characters about yourself, some honor, respect, integrity.
You can start the landscaping business overnight. With no equipment.
So I tell him this all the time your iPhone. See,
when we were coming up, my mom had to buy

(22:26):
the Britannian encyclopedias, which was very, very expensive back the time.
She bought him on a plan for us to have this.
Of course we had another set, but the Britannion was
encyclopedias of encyclopedias, and she bought those and paid for
them on a plan. So go ahead, okay, I got

(22:47):
you got.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
That is a moment right there, that your mother wanted
so much for y'all that she bought encyclopedias she didn't
have so they would be on the show and your
young inquisitive mind. I mean, can you imagine how good
she felt as those things went one by one on

(23:10):
the shelf. My mom did the same thing. By the
way I mean that that is, I don't want to
skip over that. That is a big deal, the hopes
a mother has for her child, and that was her way,
and a good one, by the way she was going
to She was gonna spend money that she didn't have,
all at once every month so that little Ray could

(23:31):
read that encyclopedia. Who knows what he might grow to
do in his life. I want you to pick up
the story right there in just a moment. Hold type.
You know what I love, Ray. I love that Black people,
no matter what the age, will say I'm filling the
blank as if that means something. I'm eighteen years old,
I'm seventy two years old. White people will never do that.

(23:53):
Fascinating Michael Berry. Man, I'm sorry to interrupt, Ray. I
know that's terribly the rude, but that story, just man,
that hit me. Imagine his mom doing that, because my
own mom did that, and I know, I mean, that's

(24:17):
that's the stuff in a movie, right. You see that
woman in a very very humble house, modest home. She's
gonna buy the encyclopedias so her son will read them
and grow up and be somebody. Man, that one gets me, right,
Go ahead and finish your story.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Man. Yes, So the story was that not only it
was for myself, but it was five of us, and
so my dad, mom, they worked, you know, like most
parents doing that era. We never wanted for anything, and
my mom always told us to buy the best, and
I do it now. I don't go name brand, but

(24:58):
I go with the best, and I've carried it on
with my children. I have six children and they are
I'm going to say, sell carbon copies of myself and
my wife, and we accept. We don't accept no for
an ancer. We'll accept no excuses for an ancer. Let's
get it done because it can be done. And like

(25:19):
I was saying early, I've traveled pretty much all over
the world, and I tell the young especially the black people,
because that's who I'm around most of and I see
the condition that we're in, and they're always blaming someone
else for the miscoming. There's no excuse. Let's get it done.
I was going to allude to from the encyclopedia to

(25:42):
the iPhone or whatever phone you want to use. Everything
that we learned had to pick books up and read.
It's in your iPhone. It's no excuse for I can't.
I don't know. And I tell the young people this
all the time. You got to do it. If you
make up an excuse, you won't do it. So the

(26:03):
reason why I call you was because of the kim
trails in the sky. What are they made of? Pretty
sure you would know or somebody that you know that
wouldn't know. Well, we were coming up, we would see
the trails in the sky and of course we thought
they were making clouds, but we didn't understand as young people.
But as we got older, I see more of than

(26:24):
with designs in the sky. And you and I know
the fly jet is not a very inexpensive Ordea to
take costs money to fly jet, and the fly jet
for the few, the pilot Kim trails. What's going on
in the sky, you.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Know, I don't know, But like flooride in the water
and the COVID shot and the Tuskegee syphilis project and
any number of other things that go from conspiracy to confirmed,
I look at things very differently today. I am a

(27:05):
big believer. I watched a documentary this week that Vice
had done on Norm MacDonald and he's my favorite comic.
And there was a woman, she's a comedian. I never
heard of her before. Her name was something like Elvia
or Ivida or something Povitsky plv t Sky Polish name,

(27:25):
I presume, And she was talking about the fact that
in order to move anything forward an industry and institution,
a genre or whatever, you have to take big swings,
and that Norm took big swings. Very few people change

(27:46):
the industry they are in. You might be good at it.
You might be the best that year, but very few
people move things forward in a tectonic manner. And Norm
MacDonald did. And I think to myself, you've got to

(28:09):
have in a society, and I didn't always feel this way.
You've got to have an Alex Jones. You've got to
have a Julian Assange. You've got to have an Edward Snowden,
you've got to have a a Andy Kaufman. You've got
to have people who George Carlin, Lenny Bruce. That at

(28:32):
that time you think the clash that at that time,
you think to yourself, well that's weird, just different. You'd
be surprised, howfen twenty thirty years later you go back
and go, you know that that was important, that needed
to be done. Interestingly, that needed to be done. And

(28:56):
I think it's important. You know, you can become so
open mind that your brain falls out, and you don't
want to be that way either. But I think it's
important to celebrate people who are daring to suggest something
outside the narrative, because the narrative, the conventional, is usually

(29:19):
the most bankable. CNN played along with the COVID game
because they got paid a lot of money pharmaceuticals became
the number one most advertised category. Not hard to figure out, right,
And I think of how many people I was watching

(29:39):
a Jason Whitlock was talking about when he was fired
on FS one and they had Shannon Sharp, Skip Bayless
and Joy Taylor and the things that were going on there,
and he was alluding to that, and the network didn't
like it and he lost his platform. He's now with

(30:00):
The Blaze and he's been talking a lot about Shannon
Sharp and what's happened with this this latest thing that
he's caught himself up in. Which is which is? I
don't know if it's true or not. I think the
woman's a money grubber. Yeah, did he do everything she
accused him of? Sure looks like it. He does have
a pattern of it. I don't know. It's not for

(30:21):
me to say, but but Whitlock's point was, I lost
my job. I'm scrambling around looking for a job because
I spoke out on the issue. All right, Just so
Jimmy Pappus and a lot of others who are Hawaiian wannabes, uh,
don't get upset. We we we made the executive decision
to take away Aloha Friday, which is always our last Friday,
just as Beast of Burden is. But I said to Ramon,

(30:45):
well then we'll just play it going to the break
and close it out that.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Way, I said, dog cloud him. Thence with the green
moders laws, you gotta get down my hand in the
Western oil.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Can under my local level chair.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
It's a low on Friday, nor work till Monday. It's
all home Friday, nor work till Monday.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Better
