Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't saw the wings.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You saw the garage.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I see the garage, but I don't saw the garage.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You are speaking incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
You are going to ring the King's English, etcetera. See
see shut up.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I think that you punch. I think you punch. I
think you're okay with you. You okay, we're punching, you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Know, I think, And I love Colin, and I think
towards the end he started to punch a little harder.
But like if there grus, I mean, like this dude
has to be knots over the.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Head like hard right, like there is no.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Niceties with him, like at all, Like you you go
clean off on him, right because we in these hot
ass Texas streets, y'all know, we got governor hot wheels.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Down there, come on now, and the only.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Thing hot about him is that he is a hot
ass mask honey. So so yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Times.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
But the fact that you literally are going to plan
enemy attacks on a signal chat and then you don't
even know who's in the signal chat, and then y'all
gonna come at us and act like people of color
are the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Are that women are the problem?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Like, baby, you probably need a good black woman in
the room who can check you and tell you that,
first of all, you shouldn't be doing this on signore
or anything else. But y'all still mad about Hillary Servers?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Is that what I hear? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
So anyway, Literally, I don't know if like your homeboy
was drunk at the time that he was sending these
messages or what, but clearly this administration is.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Not ready for prime time.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
There has been no oppression for the white man in
this country.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You'll tell me which white men were dragged out of
their homes.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You'll tell me which one of.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Them got dragged all the way across an ocean and
told that you are gonna go at work, We are
gonna seal your wives, We are gonna rape your wives.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That didn't happen. That is oppression. We didn't ask to
be here.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Were not the same migrants that y'all constantly come up against.
We didn't run away from home. We were stolen. So yeah,
we are gonna sit here and be offended. When you
want to sit here and act like and don't let.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It escape you that it is white men on this
side of the aisle telling us people of color on
this side of the aisle that y'all are the ones
being oppressed, that y'all are the ones that are being harmed.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Your wrongs twice. Well, hear me.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Clearly, white people are being oppressed. They're being wronged, they're
being discriminated against men more than women, a.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Lot of it by other white people.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
White liberal women are the devil of this nation, and
they will be the downfall if they're not defeated. They
will sell out their own children. They will chop their
boys weener off. They will carve the breasts out of
their daughters and tell them they're boys. Not for the
(03:59):
good of their child. Oh no, you're going to see
record suicide rates of those kids when they grow older,
and they've been so butchered, decisions made on them as
children when they realized that they were a prop used
by their mother, a moonshousing by proxy. You look at
(04:23):
how many of these people who are engaged in the
culture war and their children just happen to be boys
who want to be girls and girls who want to
be boys. You can brainwash a child, you can convince
a child through incentives and disincentives, carrots and sticks. If
(04:43):
you reward a little boy for acting like a little girl,
you'll get a number of them to convince themselves that
they are a girl. They get all the sugar, candy
and stay up late and everything else they want for
acting like a girl, they'll act like a But when
you chop that wiener off, when they reach a certain age,
(05:07):
when they're ready for the next phase of life, and
you have altered them through mutilation, God help you. What
you've done to that child, What you have done to
that human being in their future. Let me tell you something.
Jasmine Crockett is no victim. Jasmine Crockett is in Congress because.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
She is black.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
She was voted on by black racists who wanted a
black congressman. There are certain black people in this country
who want not just a black person, but a stupid
black person because they feel more comfortable. Jasmine Crockett does
not talk the way that she talks in public.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's not who she was.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
She started that affectation when she began running for office.
There's plenty of audio of her before that. It's not
like she's coming home to her roots. She created this
whole song and dance, this whole minstrel show that she's
putting on this not and get it personality, the sassy
(06:18):
black woman that's all made up. It's the it's the
darkest comedy bit, but the jokes on the people who
were buying it. And the problem is because she's so stupid, she's.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Great for ratings.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
You put somebody like her on TV and it drives
people crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's why she's on there.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
I bet a number of you out there are frustrated,
thinking why is she on there? She's dumb. We all
know she's dumb. Don't don't calm down. We all know
she's dumb. She knows she's dumb. That's not even who
she is. She just playing a role. Everybody knows she's
(07:05):
dumb or acting dumb. She's not that dumb. She's playing
a part and that's the part. That's the role. She's
playing it. But it makes you crazy, so you can't
turn away.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You're just rubbernecking. And she's the car wreck.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And there are people who if they have their way,
if we let them, we'll have us sitting in a
circle like an AA meeting twenty four to seven racist anonymous.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
What can we give to this.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Person because she's black, what can we take from you
because you're white? And how many white liberals can be
happy to facilitate the meeting of taking what you have
and giving it to somebody black. The sad part is
you're not going to make her any better off. You
just make you worse off. You're not going to encourage
the rift, ambition, sacrifice, accomplishment. You look at blacks who
(08:07):
are successful in American life today, and they weren't taught
that they were a victim.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Quite the opposite.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
The greatest Supreme Court justice alive today is Clarence Thomas,
and they call him Uncle Tom. The greatest thinker writer
alive today is Thomas Soul and you won't ever hear
a black person quote his name. I wonder why that
is Ride Southern Fried with Michael Barry Show Ugly enough.
The most rational democrat in public life today is the
(08:35):
guy who at times can be the nuttiest. He's about
in and out of a coma. He recovered and it's
almost like a movie. You remember the movie Trading Places
where they put Eddie Murphy in a rich man's life,
and it's like this guy came out of a rip
Van Winkle, you know, long hibernation and now all of
(08:58):
a sudden, he he's rational. He's not the same nut
he was before. In fairness, there is a Democrat who
has been supportive of the Irani nuclear facility bombing. It's
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. Here he was on Fox News.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Prety.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
They're going to disagree with the strike with and Iran
and the I actually support that. I've been always calling
for that thing. I think it was entirely appropriate. And
again there might be votes on that. So for me,
that's not a war. That was a very limited military
exercise and it struck that and then that's.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Where we're at.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
So so really it really wasn't about the consecutional or
it's anything like that. It was like a very very
limited military engagement and then it took them out, damaged
them severely.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Okay, let me tell you a story about the tale
of two CNNs. The first one involves Van Jones, and
it will surprise you. He has a message for progressives
that look Iran. When you talk about Iran, you're not
(10:20):
talking about a normal country.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Iran is not a normal country.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Normal countries don't blind women because they showed some hair.
They don't empower little gangs and proxies to surround the
country and fire rockets and great people. So Iran, the
two things are clear, the what. They cannot have a
bomb and the why. Because they say death to America,
(10:56):
death to Israel, and death to all the Jews. One
of those should offend you. If you're progressive, at least
one should offend you. And so the question, though, is
the who and how Is Israel going to take out
this nuclear capacity by dropping people there who blow it up?
Or is America going to take it out by dropping
a bomb that blows it up? But the but the
what and the why are clear, and I think progressive
(11:17):
should get on board with that. We cannot have a
nuclear armed Iran. I within the region. You are in
the region. This is a very dangerous power that cannot
get a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And they're saying death to America, death to Jews, rape
the women, pushed the homos off the side of a building,
or you know, all those things. But you know, as
Richard Stingle of the Obama administration said, you know they're
otherwise nice.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They really like our movies. Yeah, they're fans of Duran.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Duran.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Next, you're going to.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Hear and this was this was a classic moment, Caitlin Collins,
that nasty woman is Donald Trump calls her and Anderson
Pooper and they're talking about the ceasefire between Iran and Israel,
and they're talking about the fact that because it has
Trump's fingerprints on it, and he's going to get credit,
(12:07):
this is his camp, David Accord's moment. It's just it's
going to fall apart at any moment. It's not going
to last because Trump's an idiot and Trump's horrible and
Trump's and then oh, Aaron has agreed to the ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, that came in live.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Now we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of the
White House as far as how long this can hold
and what this is going to look like. That obviously
still remains to be seen on the implementation side of this,
and waiting to see if the firing does stop and
if Iran and Israel do both agree to this, because
you know, speaking of the fluidity of the situation, it
was just twenty four hours ago that President Trump himself
(12:46):
was suggesting a regime change and Iran was a possibility,
and obviously right before that having the United States strike Iran,
and so yes, there have been a lot of phone
calls going back and forth. In part this has to
do with Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on
a US base in Qatar, but there were no casualties.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We know that they did give a heads up that they.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Were going to be firing on US basis without exactly
specifying specifying which ones. But that is the question here
is if the United States felt that it did not
need to respond to the Iranian retaliation, did that create
the space for this That is what we've been hearing
from administration officials, and so the question is whether or
not this still folds for the next few hours.
Speaker 12 (13:27):
Kaitlin, I just been given a word that I ran
according to a diplomat who brief CNN, Iran has agreed
to the cease fire. So this is a significant I
just want to try to learn some more information as
soon as we get it about that. But if that
is the case, that's incredibly significant because that is we
were waiting, we had not heard from Iran, we had
not heard from Israel.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All we were going on.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
So far has been the president's social media post, which
was some two hours ago. So again, that is the
first indication we have that Iran has agreed to this.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well that's awkward, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Caitlin Collins is saying, Yeah, this is not gonna be
a cease fire.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, Trump, he's an idiot. It's not gonna be
a cease fire. Caitlin.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
It looks like we just got notification there's there's been
a cease fire. The President took questions from the press
before boarding Marine one, and he took a moment to
call CNN and ms d n C gutless scum. It's
important he do this to remind people at home never
(14:41):
trust these people. He has single handedly delegitimized these fools.
I mean they've played a part in at all, and you.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Know, the fake news like CNN in particular. They're trying
to you know, they're trying to say, well, I agree
that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed. You
know what they're doing there hurting great pilots that put
their lives in the line. CNN has scum, and so
is MSDNC. They're all and frankly the networks aren't much better.
It's all fake news. But they should not have done that.
(15:12):
By those pilots hit their targets and targets were obliterated,
and the pilots should.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Be given credit.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Then not after the pilots are after me.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They want to try and to meet bigger program.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I mean, Iran will never rebuild it. Snuplis from there,
absolutely not. That place is under rock. That place is demolished.
The B two pilots did their job. They did it
better than anybody could even imagine. They hit late in
the evening, it was dark with no moon, and they
hit that target with every one of those.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Things, and that place is gone.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But when I see CNN all night longer trying to say,
well maybe it wasn't really as demolish as we thought.
There was demoliics that you take a look at the
pinpricks and you're seeing that place is gone. And I
will say, I think CNN or to apologize to the
pilots of the V two's I think that MSDNCO to apologize.
(16:06):
I think these guys, really, these networks and these cable
networks are real losers. You really are, You're real, You're
gutless losers. I say that to CNN since I watch it,
I have no choice.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I gotta watch that garbage. It's all garbage, it's all
fake news.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I think CNN is a gutless group of people
and the people that run it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Nobody even knows.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There's been sold so many times, but the people that
run it on to be a shamed MSD and see
a guy named Brian Roberts.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He heads it. He's a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
He's a weak, pathetic disgrace.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
This is the Michael Berry Show in Oregon.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
This story is for our listeners on k e X
in beloved Portland, Oregon. Popo and Oregon hunting down a
suspect who led them on a police chase while opening fire.
And you go, okay, well that's so Popo chase somebody
(17:05):
and he opened fire on him. Yeah, why is that
on a national broadcast?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, okay, I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
The reason we bring you that story, because that's just
run of the mill, is because he's forty two years
old and.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
His name is Looney Tune.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
The story from KGWTV in Portland.
Speaker 13 (17:30):
Despite hours spent on the green and around it Friday morning,
officers were unable to track down a forty two year
old attempted murder suspect, John Colb, who also goes by
an unusual name, Looney Tune.
Speaker 14 (17:44):
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Oregon
State Parole Board, that.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
Is the name he goes by, and initial police chase,
at times hitting eighty miles per hour, ended here in
southeast Portland. Those patrol officers attempted to keep the suspect
from leaving.
Speaker 14 (18:00):
The initial officer learned that the driver had a felony
warrant and.
Speaker 13 (18:03):
He realized he'd be going to jail. The suspect reversed
into this patrol car before taking off back on Highway
to twenty four and north on Southeast seventeenth. The suspect
accused of firing shots at the officers during that chase.
Speaker 14 (18:21):
Because of the shots fired and in the manner that
it was done, the investigation is an attempted murder investigation.
I will say, based on his actions that his aggression
was directed towards the police. I don't think that we
don't believe that he would be out there actively looking
to harm anyone.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He comes by the name Looney Tune.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Honestly, this is probably a guy that's made a series
of bad decisions cartoonish if you will, in the course
of his life. Come on, I really thought you were
going to hit the music from Looney Tunes there at
the end of that story.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I really count on you to, you know, tie that up.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
How much money you think Hannah Barbara made as a duo,
I mean, you think about insinuating themselves into our lives
more so than Levi's jeans, even you think it more
than Nike, more than than Bob Seeger's music. I mean,
(19:37):
Looney Tunes was our life for a while there. Anyway,
I realized we had a bit we were going to
play earlier in the show, and I completely forgot. I
completely forgot, and I don't want the show to go
any further without the introduction of of the Secretary of Sanity.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Hello and welcome. This is your Secretary of Sanity. I
understand emotions are high, particularly among those who just googled
Iran this morning. Yes, the United States conducted surgical air
strikes against nuclear weapon facilities inside i Rock. Targets were
chosen carefully to send a message not start a war.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Unless you get your news from.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
TikTok, in which case it was definitely the start of
World War iie the rapture and by god, the cancelation
of Beyonce's tour.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I don't say that now. I know some of you
are wondering.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
But did the president ask Congress before acting?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
He also didn't ask for permission to use the bathroom
this morning. The constitution gives the president the power to
act in defense of national security.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
He used it. It's not treason. It's Tuesday, people.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
How do you respond to senior Democratic officials saying this
is a war crime? Well, under your guy, it would
have been called a delicate kinetic intervention.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
With regional implications. Fancy words, explosions.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Now let's talk about Iran's response. A dozen bottle rockets
lobbed toward a base in katar Oooh, no casualties, no damage.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Just enough to save face without breaking a nail. That's
not war, that's thea. Isn't this escalating things dangerously?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
Iran's been escalating for twenty years, funding proxy spinning centrifuges,
chanting death to America like it's karaoke night at the
local pub.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
But where are the reckless ones?
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Guy?
Speaker 8 (21:29):
And yes this happened without a UN resolution, which is
kind of like not getting a participation ribbon from the
world's most ineffective hoa.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Look, I'm going to close with this. The goal was
to slow Iran's path to nukes. That's it.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
No regime change, no boots on the ground, just a
friendly reminder from thirty thousand feet that uranium enrichment makes
for bad neighbors. Now I feel Excuse me, I'm late
for a closed door meeting with the international coalition of
people who forgot Obama did this too.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Have a great day, everybody.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
We've gone from the No King's rally to the Pro
Iran rally and we just finished waving Mexican flags.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Are and hang on, hang on, guys, excuse me, excuse me.
This is really I feel bad about this. This is
my fault.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
All my No Kings people raise your hands. All right,
we've had a little mix up.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
The No Kings people are supposed to be with the
Nu Kings people, the New Kings, that's pro Iran. All right, guys, listen,
I'm sorry. If you can just get on that bus
head west.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
You'll be four blocks over for the New Kings, Pro
Iran rally.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Oh but please try us. Next bus for the VETUS
at the Fetus rally was America ever Bard.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
President Trump at mar A Lago in Palm Beach has
a massive flag out front. And the story behind that
was he wanted a very tall flag and the city
of Palm Beach said, no, you can't have that tall
flawer and something. Let's say you the flag couldn't be
higher than fifty feet and he wanted a seventy feet
(23:17):
flag and no, no, fifty feet.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You cut that.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You can't have it up more than fifty more than
more than fifty feet in the air. And that's seventy
feet up in their So what he did it can
only be fifty feet above the ground. So what he
did is he had a twenty five foot mound built,
grass installed over it, planted over it, and then he
put the flag on.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Top of it.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
So he loves flags, and he's gone to a Plano,
Texas flag business and had two American made flags installed
at the White House.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I kind of enjoy this story.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
And I've always said, why doesn't have a flag flow
from the grass. That got a flag file from the grass,
little one on top, very little one. This is about
the largest you'll ever see, and it's tapered. It's in
equality that you guys rarely get to even put up.
They do that for a living. They're incredible people. I
(24:15):
don't know them, but I love them, and I would
bet that they all voted for Trump.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I mean, I don't know for a fact, but I
think so.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But we're about to lift it, and we also have
one going on what's called the front or the north.
We have one going there identical. So we'll have one
on this side of the building. We'll have one on
that side of the building, properly.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Placed where I can't believe he just said that happens
the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
I would like to close the show in a segment
that if you're only halfway listening, you might I think
is about music, but it's really not. It's about something
bigger than that. Not that music isn't big or important.
It's about authenticity. It's about technology versus feel and gut.
(25:18):
Let me start before I get too deep into that
with an analogy. So I watched a video about the
seventies Cincinnati Reds, and you know, you had Pete Rose,
Joe Morgan who came to play for the Astros, and
I loved him as an Astro. David Concepcion, who if
I'd played shortstop, I was a catcher I would have
wanted to be because he was so cool. And Johnny Bench,
(25:41):
my opinion, the greatest catcher to ever play the game. Now,
Yogi had more bone motts, but Johnny Bench is the
greatest catcher from his knees to gun people down. You
had George Foster. I mean, you talk about a team,
Tony Perez, the clubhouse leader, all held together, Barkie Anderson,
(26:01):
and it was about the fact that Sparky Anderson had.
First of all, Sparky Anderson had to shift before modern baseball, before.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Really anybody was doing a shift.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
But Sparky Anderson had five closers and that was rare,
that had really never been done like that. So a
lot of times pitchers didn't finish the game the way
a Nolan Ryan or or this is Bob Gibson would.
(26:35):
The Reds pitchers a minute there was a problem, they
would bring in.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They had a stable.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Of five relievers that they would throw at you the
way teams do today, which I find very frustrating.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would like to see play.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I would like to see a picture develop as the
game goes on, and complete the game. But the point
the guy was making was that Sparky Anderson didn't have
analytics back in those days.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
He had gut feel.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
And maybe it's my age, maybe young people would say, well,
analytics is better, but to me, there was something special
about that. And there's something lost in today's game that
it almost feels rope, It almost feels robotic, and it
fuels to me like so much of our society is
(27:21):
becoming robotic. And I don't mean the replacement of the
human being by a machine that's been.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Going on for a long time.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
I mean the replacement of what I would call authenticity,
real emotion and real intimacy and real friendship and real love.
And so what got me to thinking about this is,
you know they talk about now coaches don't have to
(27:53):
make the same decisions because they plug in an algorithm.
You know, Billy Being created this sort of and it worked.
And then you got, oh, what's the guy's name? They
paid all the money to go to Boston for the
Red Sox from Moone and he's Billy Beano on steroids.
But the article was about a guy named Ashley Gorley,
(28:16):
and I don't know Ashley Gorley, and it's about the
fact that he has written eighty three number one songs.
Theo Epstein that's it, thank you. I didn't hear it
when you first said it, so yeah, okay. Ashley Gorley
is apparently the most commercially successful songwriter of all time,
(28:41):
and he's written all these number one songs. Now I
wouldn't know this for a number of reasons. You might
not know it if you, because I know one Christapleton song.
I know his steel drivers work a lot better. I
don't know Morgan Wallen. Parker McCollum is from here in Houston,
and people tell me he's a great guy. I've never
met him, but there are a lot of these, you know.
(29:04):
I think Jelly Roll's got a great voice, but I
just don't listen to modern country, not what I do.
But the article is about how Ashley Gorley, and I'm
not taking away from his success, don't think I am.
How he studied what it means to sell songs, what
audience is like, and he studied it in the way
(29:31):
almost like you're peddling a drug to people. And there
was just something about it that bothered me. You know,
he's from a small town in Kentucky. Okay, that's a
guy that can write a great country music song. But
it was about how he would study it and make
notes and all this sort of stuff for the sole
purpose of being successful.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
And if you look him up g O. R. L. E. Y.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
You'll recognize Trace Atkins and Darius Rucker and Morgan Wallen,
and especially if you're a modern country person, you'll wreck
recognize a lot of the hits. I go back to
George Strait and being you know what's his name, Gosh,
Dean Dylon and Aaron Barker and Alan Shamblin.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
And those guys, they were hit machines.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
It just.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I want to say what I want to say without
seeming like I'm trashing some guy's successful, because that is
not what I intend to do. I don't mind doing that.
I'll do that all day long. I'm not taking anything
away from it. I don't know him, I don't know
the songs, but it strikes me that we are at
a crossroads in our society. And maybe it's not even
a crossroads, it's an eventual pattern where human choice, gut reaction,
(30:50):
authentic human art, not just the manufacture of a product
on an assembly line. Now even art is being put
through a machine and it's spitting out what you want.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
AI can do that.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
You know that there are people using AI to write
things that folks are saying, I really like that. But
it's no longer art, it's no longer an expression. It
is honestly just a machine giving you human concepts that
(31:36):
we are reacting to. And so the idea of the
troubled artist, or the idea of landing on a concept
and saying it perfectly. I think all of these things
are going to challenge the very nature of who we are.
What's the relevance to all this In the next presidential election,
We're going to have candidates who are going to soon enough,
(32:02):
we're gonna have speeches give it an AI. You're going
to have people running for president based on what's coded
in now. We've had analytics going on a long time.
I understand that, and where they stand on issues, I
understand that. But it's just it is as if we
are present and accountable and contributing to the downfall of
(32:24):
what makes us human.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Article, but it just struck me that if you're studying
what makes a hit and then giving people back what
chord combination, what word combination, and now AI will replace
even this guy, it strikes me that we ought to
step back and say, you know, will we even be
able to cry anymore? Or will we just cry on command?
(32:52):
Will they push a button that will make our tear ducts.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
React?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
And will we have attraction to me? You see these
people falling in love and proposing to a blow up gall,
Those are very very disturbing trends.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
When you think.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
You run, when you do the run of where that goes,
and you project that out there becomes a place where
the human isn't even necessary.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Way when yeleman Elis has let good Ben, thank you,
and good night
It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't saw the wings.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You saw the garage.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I see the garage, but I don't saw the garage.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You are speaking incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
You are going to ring the King's English, etcetera. See
see shut up.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I think that you punch. I think you punch. I
think you're okay with you. You okay, we're punching, you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Know, I think, And I love Colin, and I think
towards the end he started to punch a little harder.
But like if there grus, I mean, like this dude
has to be knots over the.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Head like hard right, like there is no.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Niceties with him, like at all, Like you you go
clean off on him, right because we in these hot
ass Texas streets, y'all know, we got governor hot wheels.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Down there, come on now, and the only.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Thing hot about him is that he is a hot
ass mask honey. So so yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Times.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
But the fact that you literally are going to plan
enemy attacks on a signal chat and then you don't
even know who's in the signal chat, and then y'all
gonna come at us and act like people of color
are the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Are that women are the problem?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Like, baby, you probably need a good black woman in
the room who can check you and tell you that,
first of all, you shouldn't be doing this on signore
or anything else. But y'all still mad about Hillary Servers?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Is that what I hear? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
So anyway, Literally, I don't know if like your homeboy
was drunk at the time that he was sending these
messages or what, but clearly this administration is.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Not ready for prime time.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
There has been no oppression for the white man in
this country.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You'll tell me which white men were dragged out of
their homes.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You'll tell me which one of.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Them got dragged all the way across an ocean and
told that you are gonna go at work, We are
gonna seal your wives, We are gonna rape your wives.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That didn't happen. That is oppression. We didn't ask to
be here.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Were not the same migrants that y'all constantly come up against.
We didn't run away from home. We were stolen. So yeah,
we are gonna sit here and be offended. When you
want to sit here and act like and don't let.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It escape you that it is white men on this
side of the aisle telling us people of color on
this side of the aisle that y'all are the ones
being oppressed, that y'all are the ones that are being harmed.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Your wrongs twice. Well, hear me.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Clearly, white people are being oppressed. They're being wronged, they're
being discriminated against men more than women, a.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Lot of it by other white people.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
White liberal women are the devil of this nation, and
they will be the downfall if they're not defeated. They
will sell out their own children. They will chop their
boys weener off. They will carve the breasts out of
their daughters and tell them they're boys. Not for the
(03:59):
good of their child. Oh no, you're going to see
record suicide rates of those kids when they grow older,
and they've been so butchered, decisions made on them as
children when they realized that they were a prop used
by their mother, a moonshousing by proxy. You look at
(04:23):
how many of these people who are engaged in the
culture war and their children just happen to be boys
who want to be girls and girls who want to
be boys. You can brainwash a child, you can convince
a child through incentives and disincentives, carrots and sticks. If
(04:43):
you reward a little boy for acting like a little girl,
you'll get a number of them to convince themselves that
they are a girl. They get all the sugar, candy
and stay up late and everything else they want for
acting like a girl, they'll act like a But when
you chop that wiener off, when they reach a certain age,
(05:07):
when they're ready for the next phase of life, and
you have altered them through mutilation, God help you. What
you've done to that child, What you have done to
that human being in their future. Let me tell you something.
Jasmine Crockett is no victim. Jasmine Crockett is in Congress because.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
She is black.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
She was voted on by black racists who wanted a
black congressman. There are certain black people in this country
who want not just a black person, but a stupid
black person because they feel more comfortable. Jasmine Crockett does
not talk the way that she talks in public.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's not who she was.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
She started that affectation when she began running for office.
There's plenty of audio of her before that. It's not
like she's coming home to her roots. She created this
whole song and dance, this whole minstrel show that she's
putting on this not and get it personality, the sassy
(06:18):
black woman that's all made up. It's the it's the
darkest comedy bit, but the jokes on the people who
were buying it. And the problem is because she's so stupid, she's.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Great for ratings.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
You put somebody like her on TV and it drives
people crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That's why she's on there.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
I bet a number of you out there are frustrated,
thinking why is she on there? She's dumb. We all
know she's dumb. Don't don't calm down. We all know
she's dumb. She knows she's dumb. That's not even who
she is. She just playing a role. Everybody knows she's
(07:05):
dumb or acting dumb. She's not that dumb. She's playing
a part and that's the part. That's the role. She's
playing it. But it makes you crazy, so you can't
turn away.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You're just rubbernecking. And she's the car wreck.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And there are people who if they have their way,
if we let them, we'll have us sitting in a
circle like an AA meeting twenty four to seven racist anonymous.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
What can we give to this.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Person because she's black, what can we take from you
because you're white? And how many white liberals can be
happy to facilitate the meeting of taking what you have
and giving it to somebody black. The sad part is
you're not going to make her any better off. You
just make you worse off. You're not going to encourage
the rift, ambition, sacrifice, accomplishment. You look at blacks who
(08:07):
are successful in American life today, and they weren't taught
that they were a victim.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Quite the opposite.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
The greatest Supreme Court justice alive today is Clarence Thomas,
and they call him Uncle Tom. The greatest thinker writer
alive today is Thomas Soul and you won't ever hear
a black person quote his name. I wonder why that
is Ride Southern Fried with Michael Barry Show Ugly enough.
The most rational democrat in public life today is the
(08:35):
guy who at times can be the nuttiest. He's about
in and out of a coma. He recovered and it's
almost like a movie. You remember the movie Trading Places
where they put Eddie Murphy in a rich man's life,
and it's like this guy came out of a rip
Van Winkle, you know, long hibernation and now all of
(08:58):
a sudden, he he's rational. He's not the same nut
he was before. In fairness, there is a Democrat who
has been supportive of the Irani nuclear facility bombing. It's
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. Here he was on Fox News.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Prety.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
They're going to disagree with the strike with and Iran
and the I actually support that. I've been always calling
for that thing. I think it was entirely appropriate. And
again there might be votes on that. So for me,
that's not a war. That was a very limited military
exercise and it struck that and then that's.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Where we're at.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
So so really it really wasn't about the consecutional or
it's anything like that. It was like a very very
limited military engagement and then it took them out, damaged
them severely.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Okay, let me tell you a story about the tale
of two CNNs. The first one involves Van Jones, and
it will surprise you. He has a message for progressives
that look Iran. When you talk about Iran, you're not
(10:20):
talking about a normal country.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Iran is not a normal country.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Normal countries don't blind women because they showed some hair.
They don't empower little gangs and proxies to surround the
country and fire rockets and great people. So Iran, the
two things are clear, the what. They cannot have a
bomb and the why. Because they say death to America,
(10:56):
death to Israel, and death to all the Jews. One
of those should offend you. If you're progressive, at least
one should offend you. And so the question, though, is
the who and how Is Israel going to take out
this nuclear capacity by dropping people there who blow it up?
Or is America going to take it out by dropping
a bomb that blows it up? But the but the
what and the why are clear, and I think progressive
(11:17):
should get on board with that. We cannot have a
nuclear armed Iran. I within the region. You are in
the region. This is a very dangerous power that cannot
get a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And they're saying death to America, death to Jews, rape
the women, pushed the homos off the side of a building,
or you know, all those things. But you know, as
Richard Stingle of the Obama administration said, you know they're
otherwise nice.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They really like our movies. Yeah, they're fans of Duran.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Duran.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Next, you're going to.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Hear and this was this was a classic moment, Caitlin Collins,
that nasty woman is Donald Trump calls her and Anderson
Pooper and they're talking about the ceasefire between Iran and Israel,
and they're talking about the fact that because it has
Trump's fingerprints on it, and he's going to get credit,
(12:07):
this is his camp, David Accord's moment. It's just it's
going to fall apart at any moment. It's not going
to last because Trump's an idiot and Trump's horrible and
Trump's and then oh, Aaron has agreed to the ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, that came in live.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Now we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of the
White House as far as how long this can hold
and what this is going to look like. That obviously
still remains to be seen on the implementation side of this,
and waiting to see if the firing does stop and
if Iran and Israel do both agree to this, because
you know, speaking of the fluidity of the situation, it
was just twenty four hours ago that President Trump himself
(12:46):
was suggesting a regime change and Iran was a possibility,
and obviously right before that having the United States strike Iran,
and so yes, there have been a lot of phone
calls going back and forth. In part this has to
do with Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on
a US base in Qatar, but there were no casualties.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We know that they did give a heads up that they.
Speaker 11 (13:06):
Were going to be firing on US basis without exactly
specifying specifying which ones. But that is the question here
is if the United States felt that it did not
need to respond to the Iranian retaliation, did that create
the space for this That is what we've been hearing
from administration officials, and so the question is whether or
not this still folds for the next few hours.
Speaker 12 (13:27):
Kaitlin, I just been given a word that I ran
according to a diplomat who brief CNN, Iran has agreed
to the cease fire. So this is a significant I
just want to try to learn some more information as
soon as we get it about that. But if that
is the case, that's incredibly significant because that is we
were waiting, we had not heard from Iran, we had
not heard from Israel.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All we were going on.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
So far has been the president's social media post, which
was some two hours ago. So again, that is the
first indication we have that Iran has agreed to this.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well that's awkward, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Caitlin Collins is saying, Yeah, this is not gonna be
a cease fire.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, Trump, he's an idiot. It's not gonna be
a cease fire. Caitlin.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
It looks like we just got notification there's there's been
a cease fire. The President took questions from the press
before boarding Marine one, and he took a moment to
call CNN and ms d n C gutless scum. It's
important he do this to remind people at home never
(14:41):
trust these people. He has single handedly delegitimized these fools.
I mean they've played a part in at all, and you.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Know, the fake news like CNN in particular. They're trying
to you know, they're trying to say, well, I agree
that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed. You
know what they're doing there hurting great pilots that put
their lives in the line. CNN has scum, and so
is MSDNC. They're all and frankly the networks aren't much better.
It's all fake news. But they should not have done that.
(15:12):
By those pilots hit their targets and targets were obliterated,
and the pilots should.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Be given credit.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Then not after the pilots are after me.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They want to try and to meet bigger program.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I mean, Iran will never rebuild it. Snuplis from there,
absolutely not. That place is under rock. That place is demolished.
The B two pilots did their job. They did it
better than anybody could even imagine. They hit late in
the evening, it was dark with no moon, and they
hit that target with every one of those.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Things, and that place is gone.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But when I see CNN all night longer trying to say,
well maybe it wasn't really as demolish as we thought.
There was demoliics that you take a look at the
pinpricks and you're seeing that place is gone. And I
will say, I think CNN or to apologize to the
pilots of the V two's I think that MSDNCO to apologize.
(16:06):
I think these guys, really, these networks and these cable
networks are real losers. You really are, You're real, You're
gutless losers. I say that to CNN since I watch it,
I have no choice.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I gotta watch that garbage. It's all garbage, it's all
fake news.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I think CNN is a gutless group of people
and the people that run it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Nobody even knows.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There's been sold so many times, but the people that
run it on to be a shamed MSD and see
a guy named Brian Roberts.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
He heads it. He's a disgrace.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
He's a weak, pathetic disgrace.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
This is the Michael Berry Show in Oregon.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
This story is for our listeners on k e X
in beloved Portland, Oregon. Popo and Oregon hunting down a
suspect who led them on a police chase while opening fire.
And you go, okay, well that's so Popo chase somebody
(17:05):
and he opened fire on him. Yeah, why is that
on a national broadcast?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, okay, I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
The reason we bring you that story, because that's just
run of the mill, is because he's forty two years
old and.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
His name is Looney Tune.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
The story from KGWTV in Portland.
Speaker 13 (17:30):
Despite hours spent on the green and around it Friday morning,
officers were unable to track down a forty two year
old attempted murder suspect, John Colb, who also goes by
an unusual name, Looney Tune.
Speaker 14 (17:44):
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Oregon
State Parole Board, that.
Speaker 13 (17:48):
Is the name he goes by, and initial police chase,
at times hitting eighty miles per hour, ended here in
southeast Portland. Those patrol officers attempted to keep the suspect
from leaving.
Speaker 14 (18:00):
The initial officer learned that the driver had a felony
warrant and.
Speaker 13 (18:03):
He realized he'd be going to jail. The suspect reversed
into this patrol car before taking off back on Highway
to twenty four and north on Southeast seventeenth. The suspect
accused of firing shots at the officers during that chase.
Speaker 14 (18:21):
Because of the shots fired and in the manner that
it was done, the investigation is an attempted murder investigation.
I will say, based on his actions that his aggression
was directed towards the police. I don't think that we
don't believe that he would be out there actively looking
to harm anyone.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He comes by the name Looney Tune.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Honestly, this is probably a guy that's made a series
of bad decisions cartoonish if you will, in the course
of his life. Come on, I really thought you were
going to hit the music from Looney Tunes there at
the end of that story.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I really count on you to, you know, tie that up.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
How much money you think Hannah Barbara made as a duo,
I mean, you think about insinuating themselves into our lives
more so than Levi's jeans, even you think it more
than Nike, more than than Bob Seeger's music. I mean,
(19:37):
Looney Tunes was our life for a while there. Anyway,
I realized we had a bit we were going to
play earlier in the show, and I completely forgot. I
completely forgot, and I don't want the show to go
any further without the introduction of of the Secretary of Sanity.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Hello and welcome. This is your Secretary of Sanity. I
understand emotions are high, particularly among those who just googled
Iran this morning. Yes, the United States conducted surgical air
strikes against nuclear weapon facilities inside i Rock. Targets were
chosen carefully to send a message not start a war.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Unless you get your news from.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
TikTok, in which case it was definitely the start of
World War iie the rapture and by god, the cancelation
of Beyonce's tour.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I don't say that now. I know some of you
are wondering.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
But did the president ask Congress before acting?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
No?
Speaker 8 (20:37):
He also didn't ask for permission to use the bathroom
this morning. The constitution gives the president the power to
act in defense of national security.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
He used it. It's not treason. It's Tuesday, people.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
How do you respond to senior Democratic officials saying this
is a war crime? Well, under your guy, it would
have been called a delicate kinetic intervention.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
With regional implications. Fancy words, explosions.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Now let's talk about Iran's response. A dozen bottle rockets
lobbed toward a base in katar Oooh, no casualties, no damage.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Just enough to save face without breaking a nail. That's
not war, that's thea. Isn't this escalating things dangerously?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
Iran's been escalating for twenty years, funding proxy spinning centrifuges,
chanting death to America like it's karaoke night at the
local pub.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
But where are the reckless ones?
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Guy?
Speaker 8 (21:29):
And yes this happened without a UN resolution, which is
kind of like not getting a participation ribbon from the
world's most ineffective hoa.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Look, I'm going to close with this. The goal was
to slow Iran's path to nukes. That's it.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
No regime change, no boots on the ground, just a
friendly reminder from thirty thousand feet that uranium enrichment makes
for bad neighbors. Now I feel Excuse me, I'm late
for a closed door meeting with the international coalition of
people who forgot Obama did this too.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Have a great day, everybody.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
We've gone from the No King's rally to the Pro
Iran rally and we just finished waving Mexican flags.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Are and hang on, hang on, guys, excuse me, excuse me.
This is really I feel bad about this. This is
my fault.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
All my No Kings people raise your hands. All right,
we've had a little mix up.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
The No Kings people are supposed to be with the
Nu Kings people, the New Kings, that's pro Iran. All right, guys, listen,
I'm sorry. If you can just get on that bus
head west.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
You'll be four blocks over for the New Kings, Pro
Iran rally.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Oh but please try us. Next bus for the VETUS
at the Fetus rally was America ever Bard.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
President Trump at mar A Lago in Palm Beach has
a massive flag out front. And the story behind that
was he wanted a very tall flag and the city
of Palm Beach said, no, you can't have that tall
flawer and something. Let's say you the flag couldn't be
higher than fifty feet and he wanted a seventy feet
(23:17):
flag and no, no, fifty feet.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You cut that.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You can't have it up more than fifty more than
more than fifty feet in the air. And that's seventy
feet up in their So what he did it can
only be fifty feet above the ground. So what he
did is he had a twenty five foot mound built,
grass installed over it, planted over it, and then he
put the flag on.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Top of it.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
So he loves flags, and he's gone to a Plano,
Texas flag business and had two American made flags installed
at the White House.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I kind of enjoy this story.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
And I've always said, why doesn't have a flag flow
from the grass. That got a flag file from the grass,
little one on top, very little one. This is about
the largest you'll ever see, and it's tapered. It's in
equality that you guys rarely get to even put up.
They do that for a living. They're incredible people. I
(24:15):
don't know them, but I love them, and I would
bet that they all voted for Trump.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I mean, I don't know for a fact, but I
think so.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But we're about to lift it, and we also have
one going on what's called the front or the north.
We have one going there identical. So we'll have one
on this side of the building. We'll have one on
that side of the building, properly.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Placed where I can't believe he just said that happens
the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
I would like to close the show in a segment
that if you're only halfway listening, you might I think
is about music, but it's really not. It's about something
bigger than that. Not that music isn't big or important.
It's about authenticity. It's about technology versus feel and gut.
(25:18):
Let me start before I get too deep into that
with an analogy. So I watched a video about the
seventies Cincinnati Reds, and you know, you had Pete Rose,
Joe Morgan who came to play for the Astros, and
I loved him as an Astro. David Concepcion, who if
I'd played shortstop, I was a catcher I would have
wanted to be because he was so cool. And Johnny Bench,
(25:41):
my opinion, the greatest catcher to ever play the game. Now,
Yogi had more bone motts, but Johnny Bench is the
greatest catcher from his knees to gun people down. You
had George Foster. I mean, you talk about a team,
Tony Perez, the clubhouse leader, all held together, Barkie Anderson,
(26:01):
and it was about the fact that Sparky Anderson had.
First of all, Sparky Anderson had to shift before modern baseball, before.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Really anybody was doing a shift.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
But Sparky Anderson had five closers and that was rare,
that had really never been done like that. So a
lot of times pitchers didn't finish the game the way
a Nolan Ryan or or this is Bob Gibson would.
(26:35):
The Reds pitchers a minute there was a problem, they
would bring in.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They had a stable.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Of five relievers that they would throw at you the
way teams do today, which I find very frustrating.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would like to see play.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I would like to see a picture develop as the
game goes on, and complete the game. But the point
the guy was making was that Sparky Anderson didn't have
analytics back in those days.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
He had gut feel.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
And maybe it's my age, maybe young people would say, well,
analytics is better, but to me, there was something special
about that. And there's something lost in today's game that
it almost feels rope, It almost feels robotic, and it
fuels to me like so much of our society is
(27:21):
becoming robotic. And I don't mean the replacement of the
human being by a machine that's been.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Going on for a long time.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
I mean the replacement of what I would call authenticity,
real emotion and real intimacy and real friendship and real love.
And so what got me to thinking about this is,
you know they talk about now coaches don't have to
(27:53):
make the same decisions because they plug in an algorithm.
You know, Billy Being created this sort of and it worked.
And then you got, oh, what's the guy's name? They
paid all the money to go to Boston for the
Red Sox from Moone and he's Billy Beano on steroids.
But the article was about a guy named Ashley Gorley,
(28:16):
and I don't know Ashley Gorley, and it's about the
fact that he has written eighty three number one songs.
Theo Epstein that's it, thank you. I didn't hear it
when you first said it, so yeah, okay. Ashley Gorley
is apparently the most commercially successful songwriter of all time,
(28:41):
and he's written all these number one songs. Now I
wouldn't know this for a number of reasons. You might
not know it if you, because I know one Christapleton song.
I know his steel drivers work a lot better. I
don't know Morgan Wallen. Parker McCollum is from here in Houston,
and people tell me he's a great guy. I've never
met him, but there are a lot of these, you know.
(29:04):
I think Jelly Roll's got a great voice, but I
just don't listen to modern country, not what I do.
But the article is about how Ashley Gorley, and I'm
not taking away from his success, don't think I am.
How he studied what it means to sell songs, what
audience is like, and he studied it in the way
(29:31):
almost like you're peddling a drug to people. And there
was just something about it that bothered me. You know,
he's from a small town in Kentucky. Okay, that's a
guy that can write a great country music song. But
it was about how he would study it and make
notes and all this sort of stuff for the sole
purpose of being successful.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
And if you look him up g O. R. L. E. Y.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
You'll recognize Trace Atkins and Darius Rucker and Morgan Wallen,
and especially if you're a modern country person, you'll wreck
recognize a lot of the hits. I go back to
George Strait and being you know what's his name, Gosh,
Dean Dylon and Aaron Barker and Alan Shamblin.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
And those guys, they were hit machines.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
It just.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I want to say what I want to say without
seeming like I'm trashing some guy's successful, because that is
not what I intend to do. I don't mind doing that.
I'll do that all day long. I'm not taking anything
away from it. I don't know him, I don't know
the songs, but it strikes me that we are at
a crossroads in our society. And maybe it's not even
a crossroads, it's an eventual pattern where human choice, gut reaction,
(30:50):
authentic human art, not just the manufacture of a product
on an assembly line. Now even art is being put
through a machine and it's spitting out what you want.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
AI can do that.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
You know that there are people using AI to write
things that folks are saying, I really like that. But
it's no longer art, it's no longer an expression. It
is honestly just a machine giving you human concepts that
(31:36):
we are reacting to. And so the idea of the
troubled artist, or the idea of landing on a concept
and saying it perfectly. I think all of these things
are going to challenge the very nature of who we are.
What's the relevance to all this In the next presidential election,
We're going to have candidates who are going to soon enough,
(32:02):
we're gonna have speeches give it an AI. You're going
to have people running for president based on what's coded
in now. We've had analytics going on a long time.
I understand that, and where they stand on issues, I
understand that. But it's just it is as if we
are present and accountable and contributing to the downfall of
(32:24):
what makes us human.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Article, but it just struck me that if you're studying
what makes a hit and then giving people back what
chord combination, what word combination, and now AI will replace
even this guy, it strikes me that we ought to
step back and say, you know, will we even be
able to cry anymore? Or will we just cry on command?
(32:52):
Will they push a button that will make our tear ducts.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
React?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
And will we have attraction to me? You see these
people falling in love and proposing to a blow up gall,
Those are very very disturbing trends.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
When you think.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
You run, when you do the run of where that goes,
and you project that out there becomes a place where
the human isn't even necessary.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Way when yeleman Elis has let good Ben, thank you,
and good night
