Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air. Claire got upset
(00:31):
Claire and Tomball says, I attend many events. Also, let's
be clear, I don't attend events. That was my point.
That's what made it kind of interesting when you haven't
done anything. So I took my in laws or as
I call my Indian laws, from India to San Antone
this weekend. And it's fascinating to see things through my
(00:55):
brother in law's eyes because he sees things as like
he's looking in a zoo animal, right, I say, I
notice that the people are mostly black hair and brown eyes. Now,
are they from Mexico. No, general, they're from here, but
(01:20):
you call them Mexican. Well that's shorthand. Really they're They're
as Texan as I am. But their last name is
Hena Josa, So we call them Mexican because they're of
Mexican heritage. Okay, but you don't refer to yourself as Irish. Listen, Okay,
(01:43):
I'm trying to have a beer here. I cannot be
doing social commentary at all times. I'm a knower of
many things, but I need a break from your observations.
Here for just a moment. It's just fascinating to see
the things he notices and and that we take for
granted because you know you've you've lived here your whole life.
He didn't notice, and I got to send a message
(02:04):
to Beaver Applin the air conditioning at the BUCkies and Luling,
whoever your facility's maintenance guy is, you can stop the test.
Yeah it works. It's twenty eight degrees in that place.
It was so cold. It was so cold that in Texas,
I went outside because I needed to thaw out. That's crazy, right,
(02:29):
all right? Claire Rights, Mary, Claire Rights. I attend many
events also, and we announced, So she's feeling indicted here.
You know, when you make a comment, man, I really
don't like orange colored cats, I'll have you know I
have an orange colored cat and that's a good cat. Relax,
(02:51):
Relax cat, lady. I attend many events also, and we
announced both elected officials and Canada as a way to
build their name recognition in the room, to help any
future election, and to honor their hopefully honorable and sacrificial service. Obviously,
(03:14):
this can backfire, but it's not just a pointless social
flex as you implied. Love your show, Mary Claire, Well, sweetheart,
I've been that guy. I've been the guy who went
to an event for the sole purpose of being announced.
I'm the guiltiest of them all. I hired Shila Jackson,
(03:37):
Lee's chief of staff. I learned every game she ever played.
I played them too. Look, only Nixon could go to China.
I'm guilty right here telling you that politician doesn't give
a damn about your event. They're there to get the votes.
(04:00):
That's it. It's John Wayne mccornyan all over again. I'm
not going to deny that. I'm going to tell you
because I was there. I experienced it. I did it,
full confession. But you're not honoring their honorable and sacrificial service,
because if you were, you'd go. There's ten elected officials
here today, but seven of them voted for Dustin Burrows
(04:23):
for speakers, so we're only going to an now three.
It is a social flex. The politician wants it, and
it makes you feel like our event matters more because
we have elected officials here. Because whether you realize it
or not, you're the problem. You've elevated these people above
the common person. And if the point is to honor
(04:44):
their honorable and sacrificial service. Why don't you say, do
we have any Vietnam veterans here? If we do, could
you raise your hand and tell us where you served?
And win we have any Iraq war veterans? Because we do,
Could you raise your hand and tell us what your
name and when you served? But we don't do that,
do we? Are you telling me that Sheila Jackson Lee's
(05:08):
service is more honorable and sacrificial than Marcus Latrell's. Is
that what you're telling me? And I only say Marcus
because he's a famous name. How many people served and
don't their name is not now. It's not about their
honorable and sacrificial service. It's about the continuing an unhealthy
(05:31):
process of elevating elected officials above the common person. But
that's okay. You don't see that because you're doing what's
always been done. You're not a bad person. I'm not
saying you are. You know who is Chance McLean zor.
I totally agree with all your emailers, sorry, disagree with
all your emails. Ninety one was awesome, everything I do,
(05:52):
great song, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, excellent movie. And
I'm not just saying this because that was my senior
year of high school. And I hope everything from the
Fall of ninety three the Fall of ninety one is
particularly specially in my life. I'm being purely objective. Ninety
one was also the best Saturday Night live cast. Okay,
let's go down the list, Greg, what you got go?
(06:12):
Who does the lightning room night? Hold on? Greg, hold on,
we haven't done a lightning room. We'll do lightning around
the next seven.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Go ahead, Greg, Yes, Michael nineteen sixty five, eleven years
old walked to North Line Mall and bought the Beatles
yesterday had act naturally on the B side, played it
over and over and over. I don't even like it today.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Act naturally as in the bucket Owens.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yes, it was Ringo saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You knew the star, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (06:48):

Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know what's funny? Last night I went deep and
I watched the Glenn Campbell Good Time Hour, And there's
an episode everybody's seen it where he has Moral Haggard
on and Merle Haggard does the best buck Owens impersonation,
and then he does the best Whaling Jennings impersonation. That
guy is so good and Buck and then they just
(07:10):
have people just walking onto the set for no good reason.
Here comes June Carter Cash, Here comes Mel Tillius. Then
you don't even realize it because the cameras panned over
the left. But Jerry Reid has joined in with Glenn
Campbell on a song that all of them are singing.
I'm not I'm so lonesome. I could cry. I'll tell
(07:31):
you what it is and just say it. But there's
two here's two guitar maestros just going at it, and
you nobody even cheered when he came on stage. He
just walked it. People just walk on as Glenn Campbell,
good time I do they go into as long? Let's
see do we have time? Yeah, let's go to Kathy. Kathy,
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Go ahead, okay. Nineteen sixty nine or seventy. I was
sixteen and I wanted Iron Butterflies for Chris the album,
and I got it because my uncle's girlfriend's brother worked
in an album store.

bet you, I'm gonna be a big stop.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
My wind Naska, you can never tell.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I think the term cattlewalling was invented after someone heard.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
This door.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Where the whole few coms Pramone said, don't last. This
is actually the first version of this song I ever heard.
I didn't know it was a bucko and so when
I first heard it, how about that? All right? It's
a lightning round, a lightning round game by night Rachel.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Kat Kate has made a comeback.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I didn't expect it, but it has. We've run into
too many and I hadn't heard it, which is why
I picked it up. We needed something really simple without
having because our last name is quite long and which aggressive,
so I needed something simple. It is Kibbodo with a K.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I grew up with the Chad Kibbadeau.
Speaker 4 (10:38):

a classmate named Bebop. His real name was Daryl, but
I've literally in my life never called him Darryl. His
his nickname was Bbop and I called him Bebop to
the stack keep up with him? And he was quibbodo.

Okay, it's a pretty blue. They call it sonic gray.
It's the best color.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
How did you meet mister Kibbado.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I met my husband at school in sam Houston. He
was a president of a fraternity and I actually didn't
like fraternities, and my friends all made fun of me
that we were going to start dating because he liked me,
and I said, I don't like fraternities. And then now
I'm married to and we've been married for fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
What was his come online to you or what was
his move?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
What was his move? He he was just president of
the fraternity. I guess that was it. And he had
one of his friends was trying to date me. But
he was really short, and Nathan was really tall, and
I'm kind of tall, and so it was just I
had a pick between the two, and uh, I went
with him, and he ended up being like the nicest
guy ever and takes care of us really well. Because
(13:19):
now I don't have to work.
Speaker 1 (13:22):

Yes? They are.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Have you been happy with the public schools there?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I haven't. I actually substitute teaching them quite often to
be with them, and I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, it's good, that's pretty cool. I was always, uh,
you know, I was of two minds when I had
friends whose parents would substitute teach, because one is total cringe.
Your mom's at you know, depending on your age, your
mom's at school today. Right when you get in middle school,
you don't got your mom. When you were in elementary school,
it was like, oh, your mom's at school. That's cool,
(14:58):
and you can be proud your mom was.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
They get pumped every time they ask me every morning
are you studying today? They want me there for sure.
I'm like a little celebrity in the kindergarten hallway with
my daughter's class.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
How about how about when Kate tells you that a
boy in the class thinks his mom thinks her mom
is is cute.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
We're not even close to that.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
We're not there yet.
Speaker 5 (15:22):

Speaker 1 (15:23):
We did we were like, hey, Toby, you mom hot, dude,
stop it's my mom.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I know, I know, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Half the reason we would do it was to make
people uncomfortable, right that was that was the joy in
all of it. Well, you're awesome, Rachel, You and Nathan
have a wonderful, wonderful trip.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
How cute is she? That's the just cutest little couple
up there. He's paid office on the pilot six and ten.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Hoh man, hoh You started at the top. Brother, Hey,
that's all I knew.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
My buddy's the brother came on from Austin and introduced
us to.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It, and.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
My friend Rod Windom, Vietnam veteran, and my buddy Patrick
Pacheco and I. The three of us used to go
over to K's lounge. We called it Beer and Buck.
We'd put the put songs on the juke box and
drink beer and playpool. Listen to Robert ro Keene, but
he was bagging business. How good is this album? The
(16:46):
number two live dinner album, I'm Going to Town, Ringo, Honeymoon,
Merry Christmas from the Family League, Five Pound Bass Band intro,

(17:08):
Think it Over One Time, Amarillo Highway, The Road intro,
The Road Goes On Forever, Dreadful, selfish crime, great song
Mariano intro Mariano and I'm Coming Home. That is solid.
So Robert l was being profiled by Cowboys and Indians magazine.
(17:36):
So he was doing a concert in maybe Anderson, I
forget where it was, and it was a weak night,
and he said, hey, I'm being profiled by Cowboys and Indians.
Why don't you They want me to invite one of
(17:57):
my friends and we're gonna hang out with him afterwards
and drink beer. And it was like next Tuesday. S
I looked it up. It was a three hour drive.
Might have been in Austin. Maybe he was at Austin.
So I had an assistant at the time, and how
(18:19):
best to say this, I'll just say he was slow
and I was kind of in between great assistants. I've
had great assistance, but I was kind of at a
at a slow point at that point in my life.
And it was very frustrating for me because like talking
to a turtle, and he was to drive me back.
(18:45):
So it's a week night. It's I had literally like
a Tuesday night, and so we hang out and the
Cowboys and Indians. Guy had a lot of money and
Cowboys and Indians magazine was more a project, more of
a hobby for him than anything else. And we had
a hell of a good time. We went and had steaks, wine,
and then we went to the Brown Water and that's
(19:08):
that's a very combustible mix on a school night. So
my assistant's job was to drive me back so that
I could sleep on the way back and not drive drunk.
So we're coming back and I don't let's say we
were on two nine or ten. I don't remember, and
we've been driving for a while and he's a very
bad driver. I didn't know that before. And it's a
(19:30):
lot of stopping and starting, and I keep waking up
and I'm aggravated and I'm drunk. Oh, it's horrible. And
at some point it's like the lights came on in
the in my truck and it felt so we're who's
what the why are the lights on? And I wake
up and we are stopped in front of an eighteen
wheeler that has jackknifed in the middle of the road
(19:54):
and it is completely engulfed in flames. And I don't
know what was inside. It maybe be a nuclear waste incinerator,
but it felt like that fire was one hundred and
fifty eight feet huh. And for some reason, again did
I mention he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the pack.
We're so close to it that I can feel the
heat coming off. Felt like in the carpet when I
(20:17):
opened the door. The heat's coming off of that thing.
We're so we've driven right up on it, Jacob, What
the hell is happening? I didn't know if I was
still asleep the tanker blew up. Okay, Well, why are
we forty feet from it? It just blew up? Okay,
(20:40):
But why did I wake up and you're in park?
It just happened. Okay, it happened some amount of time
for you to put it in park. Let me explain
what's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Every cop from the five adjoining counties is headed here
right now. You know that calm before the storm moment
in the movie where you know you're like, oh, it's
about to be behaved, but you've got you've got clarity.
I had clarity. And when they're on their way here,
they're gonna get here, and they got eight hours they're
on duty. They're gonna shut this whole highway down because
(21:16):
they don't care. They don't have anywhere to be. They're
gonna show up. They're gonna have coffee delivered. They gonna
ty tip iteau.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
How you been? Are you?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Are you still over in Brian Kasch State? You're working
for that department? Now? How is it over there? Ohrd?
They got a sign on bonus. I heard this, give
them five thousand sign on bone and we're gonna be
stuck here. You back us up and you get us
off this road as fast as never mind, I'm driving
so there, because let me tell you something, you're never
(21:48):
more alert. I don't know how care how much bourbon
you poured down your gullet than at that moment when
you don't want to be stuck inside the police tape
and can't get out. So I go, I'm I'm backing up.
I find up the thing. Do not cross here if
you're not a cop. I'm crossing because what are they
going to do? I cross and get us? And I
(22:08):
think this was before I think this was before ways,
So back in those days you had to But all
I wanted was to get out from that scene. But anyway,
I really told that story so I could drop that
Robert or on our buddies. That was really the point
of that whole story. But then I got carried away.
All right, Luke, that's a great, great first album to buy,
(22:30):

You've already given me enough that I can figure it
all out. Where'd you go to high school? East Bernard?
East Bernard? True story, I've never met anybody went to
East Bernard. It wasn't quality. I've got a buddy that
works at Shoppers. I got my buddy, Shane Leckler went
(23:56):

What's everybody's name that works at Shoppers? Is it Brad Christ?
Not Rolling Horse at that's him? You know, Brad Christ?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
There was a story a guy that died. He was young,
he was too darn young. He had young kids, and
we announced it on the air. I think they were
having a fundraiser or something. It was a young guy
that died in a like a maybe it's a four
wheeler accident or truck accident and it rolled over in
the ditch. Do you know this story? He didn't the
(24:36):
one I'm thinking of, didn't have kids. How old was

The divorce, but I guess it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Love that line.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I wish to have had some money with which to
buy I wish I could cash my paycheck before I
came to town. But I reached into my pocket, found
three twenties and a ten. It feels so good, feeling
good again. I reached into my pocket, found three twenties
and a ten. Is the reason that on October twentieth
(25:22):
of twenty twenty, it was named R. E. K Day
in Texas because that's three twenties and a ten on
the calendar. True story. Let's go to uh Luke. You
want to just sit in on the on the next
couple of calls. Absolutely, all right, just ever so often
(25:44):
let out if you agree with something or whatever, or
you go are you thinking about just let out a hm? Okay, okay,
But no twos can be the same. They can only
be one syllable. They cannot be a word. They must
only be a grunt, and they can't overpower the segment.
But each one must be a little different. It could
(26:04):
be a different length, tone, volume, whatever. Okay, all right,
all right, Dave, see what I can do? Dave, you're
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Do or do not?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
There is no try Yoda, David.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (26:23):

was my first ten dollar bill I ever got for
payment for doing some yard work and I I had
to borrow eighty eight cents for tack from my mama.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
And what year do you think this was my first?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I think eighty seven because I think it was ten.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
What a great choice for a ten year old CCR
and George Straight. Well done, Thank you, sir, Luke. You
can't use words, You can just use a version of
Susan you'irl The Michael Berry Show with Me and Luke
Go Ahead.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Nineteen sixty eight. Santana of Braxton.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Hmmm, well, what's what song? I forget? He's there? What
is that when your dog farts into the corner?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
A real?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What song in particular did you want on there?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Oh? I don't recall whichever one was hot at the.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Time, Black Magic Woman, I bet.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was fifteen. I bought
it at Woolworths at Sunset Mall and Amarilla, Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh wow, there's something the way, something about the way
she said that Ramona I found I found very endearing.
Shall we say mm one syllable? Luke one syllable, that's two.
Tim Holtz says, don't remember where I bought it, but
(28:06):
I believe it was the first bought somewhere in Houston,
Spring Branch area. Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys. Travis
Wiper aka Winshill says Joseph Mandola was in a few
of my classes. Old miss, I'm not even sure what
that's about. Molly Molly Farina, who went on our last
(28:29):
Aspen trip her husband's Santa Claus says, Queen a night
at the Opera bought in seventy five while my sister
and I were visiting family in Los Angeles. I thought
we might need Drew Bido says nineteen sixty nine Wheels
of Fire, a double album vinyl, of course, five point
fifty from a no name discount store before we got
a kmart. Jason Fortenberry says, it was eighty five. I
(28:54):
was eight years old. I Want My MTV was the
hottest song and video. I loved that introduction. I had
some allowance money and I asked my mom to take
me to the record bar. I walked in and the
guy just handed me the cassette as he already knew
exactly what I went in there for. I got home,
popped it in my jambox, grabbed a broom and rocked
that intro. I've told this story before, so some of
(29:16):
you may or may not remember it, but Bob Pittman
is the CEO of our company. There was a private
equity group that came in and brought out the old
Clear Channel, and everybody in radio hated when these guys
came in, but I loved it because the focus on
the company shifted from sales and administration and executive officers
(29:39):
to talent. Bob Pittman was the guy who, at twenty
seven years old, founded MTV, and Pittman believes content is king.
So from day one, he and I have gotten along fabulously.
We text late at night. But and no matter. This
is the guy who decides whether to relent to my
insane salary demands, whether to give me this, give me
(30:01):
that that I'm always asking for, and indulges my many quirks,
shall we say, because he's dealt with a lot crazier
than me, Michael Jackson or Rick James, or Sting or
whatever else. But he will say he'll be talking about
something and I can't help it. I have to ask
(30:22):
him a MTV question. Hey, So when Rick James said
that they were going to boycott MTV and you were
racist because you didn't have any black artists on and
you weren't giving Michael Jackson enough airplay? Was your immediate
thought to kick him in the teeth? Or was your
immediate thought? I will put this thing to I. Just
(30:42):
I go through all these We talk about zz top,
and he talks about when zz top when it's late
at night, and some of y'all are telling me to
go to bed, I stay up later, and you imagine
I just don't normally post, and he's an hour later
there because he's either in Miami or New York most
of the time. And we'll have a long conversation about
(31:03):
zz Top and he'll talk about first time he met him,
and you know, this this little band from Texas, literally,
this little band from Texas, and then how big they
got on MTV and how great they were, and how
how shocking the story of them was because you know,
they didn't they didn't look like rock stars and they'd
been around for so they were driving around the state
(31:25):
of Texas with a big horse trailer and and a
whole zoo on the back, and you know, doing their
national tour quote unquote, and they were a blues band,
forever relegated to the to the rock heap of history
as a blues band. If you were a blues nut,
you knew them, but the other nine nine percent of
people didn't know them. And then MTV hits, they get
(31:48):
a couple of pop hits, and it drives it does
zz Top that the old fans drives them crazy because
they don't want you to like their band. They want
you to know that that, especially Bill was a blues guy.
This was not a pop guy. And they didn't like
them being popular. They didn't want to they didn't want
their music. I never understood that right if Robert Earl
(32:12):
Keane started doing some other I wouldn't go. Oh, by
the way, I got approval from the Trump people yesterday
on our trip. I can't give the date out yet
because I promised them I wouldn't. That'll be I'll have
everything in. I don't have details for you because I
cannot release those yet.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I do have them.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
We're going to Palm Beach. It's going to be the
biggest and best trip we've ever done. Unfortunately, we are
severely limited on space, so for now. If you're interested
in want details when we have them, that's all I
can tell you. Email me through the website Michael Berryshow
dot com Michael Berryshow dot com if we give you
details when we have them
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air. Claire got upset
(00:31):
Claire and Tomball says, I attend many events. Also, let's
be clear, I don't attend events. That was my point.
That's what made it kind of interesting when you haven't
done anything. So I took my in laws or as
I call my Indian laws, from India to San Antone
this weekend. And it's fascinating to see things through my
(00:55):
brother in law's eyes because he sees things as like
he's looking in a zoo animal, right, I say, I
notice that the people are mostly black hair and brown eyes. Now,
are they from Mexico. No, general, they're from here, but
(01:20):
you call them Mexican. Well that's shorthand. Really they're They're
as Texan as I am. But their last name is
Hena Josa, So we call them Mexican because they're of
Mexican heritage. Okay, but you don't refer to yourself as Irish. Listen, Okay,
(01:43):
I'm trying to have a beer here. I cannot be
doing social commentary at all times. I'm a knower of
many things, but I need a break from your observations.
Here for just a moment. It's just fascinating to see
the things he notices and and that we take for
granted because you know you've you've lived here your whole life.
He didn't notice, and I got to send a message
(02:04):
to Beaver Applin the air conditioning at the BUCkies and Luling,
whoever your facility's maintenance guy is, you can stop the test.
Yeah it works. It's twenty eight degrees in that place.
It was so cold. It was so cold that in Texas,
I went outside because I needed to thaw out. That's crazy, right,
(02:29):
all right? Claire Rights, Mary, Claire Rights. I attend many
events also, and we announced, So she's feeling indicted here.
You know, when you make a comment, man, I really
don't like orange colored cats, I'll have you know I
have an orange colored cat and that's a good cat. Relax,
(02:51):
Relax cat, lady. I attend many events also, and we
announced both elected officials and Canada as a way to
build their name recognition in the room, to help any
future election, and to honor their hopefully honorable and sacrificial service. Obviously,
(03:14):
this can backfire, but it's not just a pointless social
flex as you implied. Love your show, Mary Claire, Well, sweetheart,
I've been that guy. I've been the guy who went
to an event for the sole purpose of being announced.
I'm the guiltiest of them all. I hired Shila Jackson,
(03:37):
Lee's chief of staff. I learned every game she ever played.
I played them too. Look, only Nixon could go to China.
I'm guilty right here telling you that politician doesn't give
a damn about your event. They're there to get the votes.
(04:00):
That's it. It's John Wayne mccornyan all over again. I'm
not going to deny that. I'm going to tell you
because I was there. I experienced it. I did it,
full confession. But you're not honoring their honorable and sacrificial service,
because if you were, you'd go. There's ten elected officials
here today, but seven of them voted for Dustin Burrows
(04:23):
for speakers, so we're only going to an now three.
It is a social flex. The politician wants it, and
it makes you feel like our event matters more because
we have elected officials here. Because whether you realize it
or not, you're the problem. You've elevated these people above
the common person. And if the point is to honor
(04:44):
their honorable and sacrificial service. Why don't you say, do
we have any Vietnam veterans here? If we do, could
you raise your hand and tell us where you served?
And win we have any Iraq war veterans? Because we do,
Could you raise your hand and tell us what your
name and when you served? But we don't do that,
do we? Are you telling me that Sheila Jackson Lee's
(05:08):
service is more honorable and sacrificial than Marcus Latrell's. Is
that what you're telling me? And I only say Marcus
because he's a famous name. How many people served and
don't their name is not now. It's not about their
honorable and sacrificial service. It's about the continuing an unhealthy
(05:31):
process of elevating elected officials above the common person. But
that's okay. You don't see that because you're doing what's
always been done. You're not a bad person. I'm not
saying you are. You know who is Chance McLean zor.
I totally agree with all your emailers, sorry, disagree with
all your emails. Ninety one was awesome, everything I do,
(05:52):
great song, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, excellent movie. And
I'm not just saying this because that was my senior
year of high school. And I hope everything from the
Fall of ninety three the Fall of ninety one is
particularly specially in my life. I'm being purely objective. Ninety
one was also the best Saturday Night live cast. Okay,
let's go down the list, Greg, what you got go?
(06:12):
Who does the lightning room night? Hold on? Greg, hold on,
we haven't done a lightning room. We'll do lightning around
the next seven.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Go ahead, Greg, Yes, Michael nineteen sixty five, eleven years
old walked to North Line Mall and bought the Beatles
yesterday had act naturally on the B side, played it
over and over and over. I don't even like it today.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Act naturally as in the bucket Owens.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yes, it was Ringo saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You knew the star, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know what's funny? Last night I went deep and
I watched the Glenn Campbell Good Time Hour, And there's
an episode everybody's seen it where he has Moral Haggard
on and Merle Haggard does the best buck Owens impersonation,
and then he does the best Whaling Jennings impersonation. That
guy is so good and Buck and then they just
(07:10):
have people just walking onto the set for no good reason.
Here comes June Carter Cash, Here comes Mel Tillius. Then
you don't even realize it because the cameras panned over
the left. But Jerry Reid has joined in with Glenn
Campbell on a song that all of them are singing.
I'm not I'm so lonesome. I could cry. I'll tell
(07:31):
you what it is and just say it. But there's
two here's two guitar maestros just going at it, and
you nobody even cheered when he came on stage. He
just walked it. People just walk on as Glenn Campbell,
good time I do they go into as long? Let's
see do we have time? Yeah, let's go to Kathy. Kathy,
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Go ahead, okay. Nineteen sixty nine or seventy. I was
sixteen and I wanted Iron Butterflies for Chris the album,
and I got it because my uncle's girlfriend's brother worked
in an album store.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh that was the hookup back in the day. Kathy.
I'm so glad you called.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
All right? Uh, Larry Luke, Dave, Rachel, all of you
Hangti I'll get you in just him, I will go
straight to the cause. We'll do it as a light.
I guess this was before abortion was illegal. When I
bet you, I'm gonna be a big stop.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
My wind Naska, you can never tell.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I think the term cattlewalling was invented after someone heard.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
This door.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Where the whole few coms Pramone said, don't last. This
is actually the first version of this song I ever heard.
I didn't know it was a bucko and so when
I first heard it, how about that? All right? It's
a lightning round, a lightning round game by night Rachel.
(09:26):
What's your answer, sweetheart?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
It is the Blue album by Weezer, and I bought
that in ninety five.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Out of cons How old were you I was?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I guess I would have been fifteen years old. I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not thinking I was only ten years old.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
We're not dating, don't lie? So are you forty?
Speaker 5 (09:54):

Kate or Katie.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Just Kate.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Kat Kate has made a comeback.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I didn't expect it, but it has. We've run into
too many and I hadn't heard it, which is why
I picked it up. We needed something really simple without
having because our last name is quite long and which aggressive,
so I needed something simple. It is Kibbodo with a K.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I grew up with the Chad Kibbadeau.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
With a k.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
H huh not quite. What's funny, way is I had
a classmate named Bebop. His real name was Daryl, but
I've literally in my life never called him Darryl. His
his nickname was Bbop and I called him Bebop to
the stack keep up with him? And he was quibbodo.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
B okay he is actually, I think, yes, So mine's
very similar and we've heard that that's actually how our
name actually started. What was the KiB oh? It was beautiful?
It was pool?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
How do you spell it?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
A simple? Pool? Poo l e?

Well, what does mister Kibodeaux do?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
He works for Shell?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Was he?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now that's where he works? What does he do there?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
So he's currently in a new job transitioning into more
of a trading position. He was in sales and now
he's in trading. He actually made me call you this morning.
We're on our way to Miami without our kids, and
he forced me to call in because he's driving.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
What are y'all doing in Miami?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He has a work trip there and he wanted me
to come for the first few days so we could
actually have a mini vacation and then I'll go home
whenever he starts doing his meetings in a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Let me tell you something. When a man wants you
to come on his out of city work trip with him,
that's the keep arrested.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I agree. He treats me too well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
What are you all riding in? What is the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
The vehicle we're in a blue Honda Pilot.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
So there's nothing wrong with that. But the pretty blue,
pretty blue?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Okay, it's a pretty blue. They call it sonic gray.
It's the best color.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
How did you meet mister Kibbado.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I met my husband at school in sam Houston. He
was a president of a fraternity and I actually didn't
like fraternities, and my friends all made fun of me
that we were going to start dating because he liked me,
and I said, I don't like fraternities. And then now
I'm married to and we've been married for fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
What was his come online to you or what was
his move?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
What was his move? He he was just president of
the fraternity. I guess that was it. And he had
one of his friends was trying to date me. But
he was really short, and Nathan was really tall, and
I'm kind of tall, and so it was just I
had a pick between the two, and uh, I went
with him, and he ended up being like the nicest
guy ever and takes care of us really well. Because
(13:19):
now I don't have to work.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Rachel, there's more effish in the say nope, I gotta
gotta be gotta be that fraternity. And there's only two
of them, the other dudes short, I'm married and that one.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
That's what happened. Uh huh I did Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Well, did his parents like you?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
His parents? Oh yeah, I think so did like him.
I mean, my parents love him. He's the son. He's
this We actually live on the same street with my parents,
and he helped take care of my parents at home
sometimes with stuff around the house.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
This dude's a keeper. I know, does he I agree?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
When I'm going on this.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Does he make a lot of money?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
He paid office Honda pilot wrin already that we bought
like a few months ago.
Speaker 1 (14:08):

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Red is ten and Kate Kate is six?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Are they in the public schools there?
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Yes? They are.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Have you been happy with the public schools there?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I haven't. I actually substitute teaching them quite often to
be with them, and I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, it's good, that's pretty cool. I was always, uh,
you know, I was of two minds when I had
friends whose parents would substitute teach, because one is total cringe.
Your mom's at you know, depending on your age, your
mom's at school today. Right when you get in middle school,
you don't got your mom. When you were in elementary school,
it was like, oh, your mom's at school. That's cool,
(14:58):
and you can be proud your mom was.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
They get pumped every time they ask me every morning
are you studying today? They want me there for sure.
I'm like a little celebrity in the kindergarten hallway with
my daughter's class.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
How about how about when Kate tells you that a
boy in the class thinks his mom thinks her mom
is is cute.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
We're not even close to that.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
We're not there yet.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
We're not even close.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
We did we were like, hey, Toby, you mom hot, dude,
stop it's my mom.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I know, I know, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Half the reason we would do it was to make
people uncomfortable, right that was that was the joy in
all of it. Well, you're awesome, Rachel, You and Nathan
have a wonderful, wonderful trip.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
How cute is she? That's the just cutest little couple
up there. He's paid office on the pilot six and ten.
She's substitutes so she can be in the school with
her kids. I mean, that's that's good to see right there.
Let's go to Luke. I like the name Luke, Like
Luke Mandola cool hen Luke. Luke's got a nine to
seven dollars number. He's out in the country. What you got, Luke.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Robert 'keane live here?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Number two?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Hoh man, hoh You started at the top. Brother, Hey,
that's all I knew.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
My buddy's the brother came on from Austin and introduced
us to.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It, and.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
My friend Rod Windom, Vietnam veteran, and my buddy Patrick
Pacheco and I. The three of us used to go
over to K's lounge. We called it Beer and Buck.
We'd put the put songs on the juke box and
drink beer and playpool. Listen to Robert ro Keene, but
he was bagging business. How good is this album? The
(16:46):
number two live dinner album, I'm Going to Town, Ringo, Honeymoon,
Merry Christmas from the Family League, Five Pound Bass Band intro,
Rolling by Sonora's Death Row, Underrated, When the blue Bonnets Bloom?
(17:08):
Think it Over One Time, Amarillo Highway, The Road intro,
The Road Goes On Forever, Dreadful, selfish crime, great song
Mariano intro Mariano and I'm Coming Home. That is solid.
So Robert l was being profiled by Cowboys and Indians magazine.
(17:36):
So he was doing a concert in maybe Anderson, I
forget where it was, and it was a weak night,
and he said, hey, I'm being profiled by Cowboys and Indians.
Why don't you They want me to invite one of
(17:57):
my friends and we're gonna hang out with him afterwards
and drink beer. And it was like next Tuesday. S
I looked it up. It was a three hour drive.
Might have been in Austin. Maybe he was at Austin.
So I had an assistant at the time, and how
(18:19):
best to say this, I'll just say he was slow
and I was kind of in between great assistants. I've
had great assistance, but I was kind of at a
at a slow point at that point in my life.
And it was very frustrating for me because like talking
to a turtle, and he was to drive me back.
(18:45):
So it's a week night. It's I had literally like
a Tuesday night, and so we hang out and the
Cowboys and Indians. Guy had a lot of money and
Cowboys and Indians magazine was more a project, more of
a hobby for him than anything else. And we had
a hell of a good time. We went and had steaks, wine,
and then we went to the Brown Water and that's
(19:08):
that's a very combustible mix on a school night. So
my assistant's job was to drive me back so that
I could sleep on the way back and not drive drunk.
So we're coming back and I don't let's say we
were on two nine or ten. I don't remember, and
we've been driving for a while and he's a very
bad driver. I didn't know that before. And it's a
(19:30):
lot of stopping and starting, and I keep waking up
and I'm aggravated and I'm drunk. Oh, it's horrible. And
at some point it's like the lights came on in
the in my truck and it felt so we're who's
what the why are the lights on? And I wake
up and we are stopped in front of an eighteen
wheeler that has jackknifed in the middle of the road
(19:54):
and it is completely engulfed in flames. And I don't
know what was inside. It maybe be a nuclear waste incinerator,
but it felt like that fire was one hundred and
fifty eight feet huh. And for some reason, again did
I mention he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the pack.
We're so close to it that I can feel the
heat coming off. Felt like in the carpet when I
(20:17):
opened the door. The heat's coming off of that thing.
We're so we've driven right up on it, Jacob, What
the hell is happening? I didn't know if I was
still asleep the tanker blew up. Okay, Well, why are
we forty feet from it? It just blew up? Okay,
(20:40):
But why did I wake up and you're in park?
It just happened. Okay, it happened some amount of time
for you to put it in park. Let me explain
what's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Every cop from the five adjoining counties is headed here
right now. You know that calm before the storm moment
in the movie where you know you're like, oh, it's
about to be behaved, but you've got you've got clarity.
I had clarity. And when they're on their way here,
they're gonna get here, and they got eight hours they're
on duty. They're gonna shut this whole highway down because
(21:16):
they don't care. They don't have anywhere to be. They're
gonna show up. They're gonna have coffee delivered. They gonna
ty tip iteau.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
How you been? Are you?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Are you still over in Brian Kasch State? You're working
for that department? Now? How is it over there? Ohrd?
They got a sign on bonus. I heard this, give
them five thousand sign on bone and we're gonna be
stuck here. You back us up and you get us
off this road as fast as never mind, I'm driving
so there, because let me tell you something, you're never
(21:48):
more alert. I don't know how care how much bourbon
you poured down your gullet than at that moment when
you don't want to be stuck inside the police tape
and can't get out. So I go, I'm I'm backing up.
I find up the thing. Do not cross here if
you're not a cop. I'm crossing because what are they
going to do? I cross and get us? And I

think this was before I think this was before ways,
So back in those days you had to But all
I wanted was to get out from that scene. But anyway,
I really told that story so I could drop that

of that whole story. But then I got carried away.

East Bernard. It wasn't quality. I've got a buddy that

Speaker 1 (24:13):
There was a story a guy that died. He was young,
he was too darn young. He had young kids, and
we announced it on the air. I think they were
having a fundraiser or something. It was a young guy
that died in a like a maybe it's a four
wheeler accident or truck accident and it rolled over in
the ditch. Do you know this story? He didn't the
(24:36):

Probably twenty?
Speaker 1 (24:43):

Speaker 3 (24:56):
The divorce, but I guess it.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Love that line.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I wish to have had some money with which to
buy I wish I could cash my paycheck before I
came to town. But I reached into my pocket, found
three twenties and a ten. It feels so good, feeling
good again. I reached into my pocket, found three twenties
and a ten. Is the reason that on October twentieth
(25:22):
of twenty twenty, it was named R. E. K Day
in Texas because that's three twenties and a ten on
the calendar. True story. Let's go to uh Luke. You
want to just sit in on the on the next
couple of calls. Absolutely, all right, just ever so often
(25:44):
let out if you agree with something or whatever, or
you go are you thinking about just let out a hm? Okay, okay,
But no twos can be the same. They can only
be one syllable. They cannot be a word. They must
only be a grunt, and they can't overpower the segment.
But each one must be a little different. It could
(26:04):
be a different length, tone, volume, whatever. Okay, all right,
all right, Dave, see what I can do? Dave, you're
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (26:12):

Speaker 1 (26:13):

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
It was a two for CCR and George Straight. It
was my first ten dollar bill I ever got for
payment for doing some yard work and I I had
to borrow eighty eight cents for tack from my mama.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
And what year do you think this was my first?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I think eighty seven because I think it was ten.
Speaker 1 (26:47):

Susan you'irl The Michael Berry Show with Me and Luke

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Nineteen sixty eight. Santana of Braxton.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Hmmm, well, what's what song? I forget? He's there? What
is that when your dog farts into the corner?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
A real?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What song in particular did you want on there?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Oh? I don't recall whichever one was hot at the.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Time, Black Magic Woman, I bet.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was fifteen. I bought
it at Woolworths at Sunset Mall and Amarilla, Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh wow, there's something the way, something about the way
she said that Ramona I found I found very endearing.
Shall we say mm one syllable? Luke one syllable, that's two.
Tim Holtz says, don't remember where I bought it, but
(28:06):
I believe it was the first bought somewhere in Houston,
Spring Branch area. Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys. Travis
Wiper aka Winshill says Joseph Mandola was in a few
of my classes. Old miss, I'm not even sure what
that's about. Molly Molly Farina, who went on our last
(28:29):
Aspen trip her husband's Santa Claus says, Queen a night
at the Opera bought in seventy five while my sister
and I were visiting family in Los Angeles. I thought
we might need Drew Bido says nineteen sixty nine Wheels
of Fire, a double album vinyl, of course, five point
fifty from a no name discount store before we got
a kmart. Jason Fortenberry says, it was eighty five. I
(28:54):
was eight years old. I Want My MTV was the
hottest song and video. I loved that introduction. I had
some allowance money and I asked my mom to take
me to the record bar. I walked in and the
guy just handed me the cassette as he already knew
exactly what I went in there for. I got home,
popped it in my jambox, grabbed a broom and rocked
that intro. I've told this story before, so some of
(29:16):
you may or may not remember it, but Bob Pittman
is the CEO of our company. There was a private
equity group that came in and brought out the old
Clear Channel, and everybody in radio hated when these guys
came in, but I loved it because the focus on
the company shifted from sales and administration and executive officers
(29:39):
to talent. Bob Pittman was the guy who, at twenty
seven years old, founded MTV, and Pittman believes content is king.
So from day one, he and I have gotten along fabulously.
We text late at night. But and no matter. This
is the guy who decides whether to relent to my
insane salary demands, whether to give me this, give me
(30:01):
that that I'm always asking for, and indulges my many quirks,
shall we say, because he's dealt with a lot crazier
than me, Michael Jackson or Rick James, or Sting or
whatever else. But he will say he'll be talking about
something and I can't help it. I have to ask
(30:22):
him a MTV question. Hey, So when Rick James said
that they were going to boycott MTV and you were
racist because you didn't have any black artists on and
you weren't giving Michael Jackson enough airplay? Was your immediate
thought to kick him in the teeth? Or was your
immediate thought? I will put this thing to I. Just
(30:42):
I go through all these We talk about zz top,
and he talks about when zz top when it's late
at night, and some of y'all are telling me to
go to bed, I stay up later, and you imagine
I just don't normally post, and he's an hour later
there because he's either in Miami or New York most
of the time. And we'll have a long conversation about
(31:03):
zz Top and he'll talk about first time he met him,
and you know, this this little band from Texas, literally,
this little band from Texas, and then how big they
got on MTV and how great they were, and how
how shocking the story of them was because you know,
they didn't they didn't look like rock stars and they'd
been around for so they were driving around the state
(31:25):
of Texas with a big horse trailer and and a
whole zoo on the back, and you know, doing their
national tour quote unquote, and they were a blues band,
forever relegated to the to the rock heap of history
as a blues band. If you were a blues nut,
you knew them, but the other nine nine percent of
people didn't know them. And then MTV hits, they get
(31:48):
a couple of pop hits, and it drives it does
zz Top that the old fans drives them crazy because
they don't want you to like their band. They want
you to know that that, especially Bill was a blues guy.
This was not a pop guy. And they didn't like
them being popular. They didn't want to they didn't want
their music. I never understood that right if Robert Earl
(32:12):
Keane started doing some other I wouldn't go. Oh, by
the way, I got approval from the Trump people yesterday
on our trip. I can't give the date out yet
because I promised them I wouldn't. That'll be I'll have
everything in. I don't have details for you because I
cannot release those yet.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
I do have them.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
We're going to Palm Beach. It's going to be the
biggest and best trip we've ever done. Unfortunately, we are
severely limited on space, so for now. If you're interested
in want details when we have them, that's all I
can tell you. Email me through the website Michael Berryshow
dot com Michael Berryshow dot com if we give you
details when we have them
