Speaker 1 (00:55):
I got what.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
We're dealing with, the complete lack of respect for the
laws round road.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
To the phone lines. We go it being open line
Friday and all. But before we do that, Cory Morrow
sent me a message and said, hey, hear you're talking
about what's going on at Stratford. You remember I went
to Stratford. I did so. He said, are you aware

(01:59):
of what's going on? Because all the alumni are talking
about it? I am. That's where This woman, not Tale
herpin Natale Herpes, is trying to keep the kids from
starting an organization. This was an organic, grassroots ground up.
Kids started organization. They needed two sponsors. They went to

(02:22):
the school. They got some black guy who's a basketball
coach and some white woman who's a English teacher to
agree to do it. And that's who's going to be
their sponsors. And they got their organization. They started their face,
their Instagram page. And this woman, I mean, how sick
do you have to be? She's trying to get herself

(02:45):
into the school and break up an organization that the
kids are starting. I mean, think about what an evil
bitch you have to be. How miserable your life is. Lady,
you're out of high school, doesn't involve you or any
of your cats, and you're over there trying to bother

(03:06):
little kids. How empty is your soul? How dark is
your heart? My goodness, isn't there something you could do
to find fulfillment? You're out of school? What are you doing?

(03:28):
My goodness? So real quick, gramo and tell Tony he's
gonna be first, and then Tim and then Tom, Tony,
Tim and Tom and so I said, uh, you got
a show tonight and he said, uh, I played last
night with PG that's Pat Green Ramon in Dallas for

(03:49):
the Southwest Airlines party at the Rustic. It was a
good show. It was a lot of fun tonight. And
tomorrow we're doing a song. I'm doing a songwriter swap
with Jack Ingram Crazy that I get to say that, right.
He was one of the very first guys I wanted
to be like when I started McKinney. Tonight and up
near Ammillo tomorrow night, then home for a day and

(04:13):
back at it next week. Next Friday and Saturday we
played Port Aransas and then Crystal Beach for Margaritaville. Have
you been to that yet? It's supposed to be nice.
Please make a note to try and be at the
album release party on October seventeenth at DOCI Doe in
the Woodlands. Please. I would love for you to be

(04:34):
there to hear all the backstories. It's a Friday. And
then he said, what would you think if we made
it an interview style show? And I said, you don't
want ozar. You moved on from me years ago. Cy
He said, my goodness, didn't I just ask you to
come and host my concert anyway, he said how much

(04:59):
fun it would be. Maybe we will October seventeenth, get
your tickets at Doc Doe it's his album release party,
and maybe we'll do it as an interview for man.
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe he interviews me
and I seen the songs that'd be awful, as in

(05:21):
awesomely awful. Tony. You're up, sir, Hey, what's going on? Man?
I'm good? Go ahead? All right?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
So the reason I called is two reasons. But the
last caller you said had called twenty six times or
something before. Yeah, And I literally thought to myself, you know,
I called Michael Barry one time about ten years ago.
We talked for thirty minutes. It was about Jamaica Beach.
That's where I was at it that day, and you
sat there and talked about seventees and we went round

(05:54):
and round. It was a good talk. It was fun.
But the reason I'm calling today is because I haven't
really heard anybody compare the passing of Rush Limbaugh with
Charlie Kirk and the different type of impact our comparisons
that they've made. You know what I mean. And I'm
gonna tell you the truth. Man, When Rush passed because

(06:16):
I've been listening to talk radio since nine to eleven.
But when he passed, I felt like a bit of
me passed with him. Sure, and this Charlie Kirk passing,
it actually feels a bit bigger than that. Maybe because
he reached the youth, more of the youth more, I
don't know, or maybe it's just the social media awareness

(06:36):
is heightened, but Charlie Kirk really feels like it's gonna
have a bigger impact.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
And I love Rush.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
I loved Rush, and you know I haven't I haven't
been the same listening to talk radio since Russia passed.
You know it's been different.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well, let me speak to that in a couple of points.
So I'll do and ask me anything on Facebook on occasion,
and I always start by saying, don't ask me my
favorite this or that, or the best this or that?
What's your favorite? Stake? And the reason is, I don't

(07:18):
think in terms of this is my favorite. And I
don't know if it was conscious or unconscious, but I
figured out years ago. If you have a restaurant that
is your favorite restaurant and nothing else can compare, and
it's important to you to note that that's your favorite restaurant.
Nothing else can compare ninety nine times out of one hundred,

(07:39):
you're not going to enjoy your meal because you're never
at your favorite restaurant. So I subconsciously, unconsciously, consciously, I'm
not sure, decided that I was going to enjoy every
meal I have wherever I was, and I was going
to find something good about it. And I found that
that was really really good for my level of happiness.
I could be happy eating a freed o pie or

(08:02):
an expensive steak or anything in between. I have been
asked this question a number of times to go to
rank Charlie Kirk's assassination his death, and I think that
is an unhealthy need we have. I don't know why
that matters, and I don't think it's a good thing
that we do this. But I have a lot more

(08:23):
to say about the styles of the not so rich
and famous are as. I call it the Michael Berry jailer.
You love me some, Corey Morrow. So if you haven't

(08:44):
figured out already, white liberals are miserable, and they're not
going to stop until you're miserable. So a lot of
people think, well, I'll just move away from them. They're
gonna come to where you are. You never go to

(09:06):
where they are. They're gonna come to where you are,
and you go, well, I just won't talk to them.
I won't hang and do with them. You need to
understand while you're living your life, they're not living their lives.
Their life is how they can mess with your life.

(09:27):
You're using a plastic straw. You can't use that. God it,
What the hell are you worried about? What kind of
straw I'm using? Give me that straw. You have to
take this shot. Don't want to take the shot. Gotta
take the shot. Don't want to take the shot. I'm
gonna get you fired. There's a bunch of other crazies.
Because enough crazies. They got a hive, right, and they

(09:49):
stay focused and they pick you off one by one,
one by one. They got this hive. And a hive
is not that big in a grander scheme, but that
little hive when it attacks one business, the one person,
and that person's like, let up, I promise, what do
you need? What do I have to do for you? Submit?
They never attack all of us at one time. It's
always one at a time, one at a time. I

(10:12):
won an Award for the top talk show host in
the country. Rush Limbaugh was up for that award. John
Hannity was up for that award. Glenn Beck was up
for that award. I won it. It was a big deal.
I was proud of it. That was the moment Media
matters decided to drop the op ed the opposition file
on me. So they they laid into iHeartMedia. They wanted

(10:37):
them to force me out of receiving that award in
Los Angeles at the iHeart Music Awards nationally broadcast. They
want them to withdraw the award because I was a monster.
I was a horrible person. I say horrible things. I'm terrible.
And they had Pastor Michael Flegler, this effeminate white priest

(11:01):
at an all black church who's trying so hard to
be down with the cause. Angry black man closed fist
Angela Davis, I hate white people. And they had him
do this press conference where he screamed and hollered like
a bansheet that I was a horrible, horrible person and
how could iHeart honor me? And this was atrocious And

(11:24):
to his credit, Bob Pittman, who's not a conservative by
the way, the founder of MTV, who's the chairman and
CEO of our company, said, Michael's great on the air.
Michael does a lot for the community, raises a lot
of money for philanthropy, helps a lot of businesses succeed
and helps a lot of other people in our industry mentoring.
And so yeah, we honored him for a reason and

(11:47):
we're still going to And that was that. And if
you just stand up to these people, But you got
to realize they're coming for every aspect of your life.
They want to take your gas vehicle, they want to
stab you with with a deadly mRNA injection, they want
to take away your plastic straw. They want to take
away every aspect of your life. They're not happy unless

(12:09):
they have taken something from you. That's why some crazy
herpes lady is out there trying to dig into Stratford
High School and what kind of organization they have on campus?
What business is it of her? They're not bothering her.
But that's just it, isn't it. That's just it. You know,

(12:30):
there's something creepy when an adult wants to be involved
in the high school and their child's not even involved.
She wants to be involved, not because her kid was
picked on, expelled someone. No, she wants to be involved
in the high school as a high schooler. That's creepy.
I don't know what you're trying to relive. You were

(12:50):
ugly then and nobody liked you. You're ugly now. You've
got an ugly soul. It's bad enough that you're physically ugly,
but a dark, dark soul. And you can see it
seeing everything she does her entire life. Uh, let's go
to Oh, I want to go back to this point

(13:11):
then the course. I have had a number of folks
ask me to compare and rank the death of John F. Kennedy,
Martin Luther King Jr. Rush Limbaugh. I don't understand what
we're trying to do there. It's not a competition and

(13:33):
it's not universal. I had a Black fellow tell me yesterday.
He said, you know, at my black church, they they
didn't mention Charlie Kirk. And someone said, how come you
didn't mention Charlie Kirk? And the pastor said, because nobody
here knows who he is. That may or may not
be true, But here is my question, why is it

(13:55):
so important if I'm grieving over the loss of a
person that some other person over there grieved to the
level I grieve. Why is that important? Whatever the answer
to that is is not healthy. Why is it so
important that whatever has just happened be the most important

(14:16):
thing like that that has ever happened. Why is that important?
I was told that the Camp Mystic flood was the
biggest flood in Central Texas in history. I don't know
if that's true or not. But does it need to
be true if your daughter was Chloe Childress, or Lucy Dillon,

(14:38):
or one of these beautiful little angels of God who's
not with us anymore? Does it matter if it was
the biggest flood, the second biggest flood, the eighth biggest flood,
the fourteenth biggest flood. I don't see how these things matter.
Why is there a need. My flood's better in your flood.
My guy that dies better than your guy? I don't

(14:58):
understand that, But since you asked, I think that over
half the people grieving publicly this the end of the
world about Charlie Kirk today couldn't name three things about him.
I think that what happened is that his death sparked

(15:21):
and the people who did know what he was doing
who frankly, should have done more to promote him in
his ministry. I think a lot of people realized, in
a guilt ridden way that this was something among us
that we took for granted. And what you're seeing now

(15:42):
is a lot of people recognizing we need we need
to promote these special things. We need to do more
for these because they might be gone and beer. It's

(16:03):
important to understand because if you go into a situation
knowing it's gonna happen, you can be prepared for it
a fly. If you're going through life and you're genuinely happy,
you get up and go to work. You get up
in the bed that's shared by your wife, and you

(16:25):
go to work. Maybe you have some what's for breakfast?
Fried eggs, three fried eggs, Jimmy Dean sausage, twelve houce rold.
You know you got four hundred pounds of men, Save money,

(16:46):
save money. I'm gonna eat some little accounting trying to.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Twenty eight. I don't know where people come from. I
don't well, if you test your products, your quantity of
your products, your products are very delicious. Gloved your sausage
for thirty something years. But I can't take and feed
a family of five on a little twelve ounce roll
of sausage. I don't mind paying you more money for
you sixteen ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have

(17:17):
it anymore. You've got a twelve ounce roll, and you've
got three men that way over two hundred pounds a piece,
a woman that's a little plump Scotts girl, and a
daughter who's thirteen. And you're gonna try to take a
twelve ounce roll of sausage and a couple of dozen
eggs and feed that. It ain't gonna work. And I'm
not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again. And

(17:38):
as far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage,
I don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm
a Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people
to eat with their breakfast, with the fried eggs and
their tea bone steaks. And I can't see going to
a little twelve ounce package to feed four or five
six people. And I'm not gonna buy two of those

(18:00):
twelve ounce packages just because you want to downsize and
charge the same class. I'd sure like a reply and
I'd sure like you to go back to your sixteen
ounce package on your regular sausage, because I'm not going
to buy it otherwise ever again. I'll just have my
own tasks made like I used to thirty something years ago.
It's not tasty as years is, but it'll work. Thank you.

(18:23):
Eight one seven, goodbye, my little twelve ounce I'm all
of sausage. Supposed to feed your brother and me and
you six hundred pounds of men at least get my
point and the two girls, and they put it in
that roll with sausage. Somebody need a kid, some little
consumer geek alloroid. Save money, Yes, save money, saved money.

(18:45):
I'm going to eat.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
When he says some little consumer geek azoid he's got
in his mind. Somebody that looks like Michael Douglas and
falling down, short sleeve dress, shirt buttoned up all the
way to the Adam's apple horn, rim glasses. Some Delbert

(19:09):
Delbert looking dude that just punches the keys in and
doesn't care about anything, has no passions in life, just
a little nerve, just trying to find a dollar he
can save here and there. I took notes for the
first time ever listening to that about all the things
I love about it. First of all, he's calling to complain,
but he first says grudgingly, I like your products. It's

(19:32):
very delicious. Mad at you right now, but your product
is very delicious, because, let's be honest, otherwise, I wouldn't
be calling right if I couldn't get enough of a
product and it wasn't any good, I'd complain about the quality.
I like the fact that he uses a word I
can't take and feed a family of five. I can't
take and feed a family of five. It's a great

(19:54):
turn of phrase there, very southern. Then he's describing how
fat they all are. And then he's got a daughter
who's thirteen, so out of respect for her, he didn't
tell how big a girl she was. He just gave
her age. I like that. And then I liked the
fact that he said, I'm not going to purchase it
anymore or ever again. That's a repetition there, But he

(20:15):
had a flow a pacing to what he was doing.
I'm not going to purchase it anymore ever again, which
is repeating what he just said. But he'd kind of
run out of things and he had to finish the flow.
I like the fact that he refers to this what
Southern people leave. I like that. And then he said
something that I've never noticed. But because I've been so
focused on his turn of phrase and the words he

(20:37):
uses and how he streams them together and how he
paces them and all of that, I never noticed there
were t bone stakes involved in his breakfast? Did you?
I never noticed that he's describing the breakfast and there's
t bone steaks as well as the sausage. You never
noticed it. Fast forward, I'll tell you exactly where it is.

(20:58):
I've heard this clip one hundred times. I never noticed love.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Your sausage, for I don't mind paying you more money
for your sixteen ounce. And you got three men that
way over two hundred pounds, plump Scott's girl and a
daughter who's thirteen, And you're gonna try to take a
twelve ounce ol of sausage and a couple of dozen
eggs and feed that it ain't gonna work. And I'm
not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again. And

(21:23):
as far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage,
I don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm
a Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people
to eat with their breakfast with the fried eggs and
their tea bone steaks, and.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Their breakfast and their fried eggs and their tea bone steaks.
And then I liked it. Later he comes back to
ever again he uses that phrase which he'd used early,
and then finally there toward the end, he said, he
does the takeaway so that you believe him, because you
don't believe that he'll stop buying your sausage. You do it,
you don't believe it because that's the best sausage on

(21:59):
the market. He knows that you know it, and American
people know it, so you don't believe he can get
away with not buying your sausage, because he'll have to
buy your sausage because not buy the competitor. And he said,
I'll just make my own, right, So you need to understand,
you got one shot left that's saving this customer. You
got to change your ways to save and keep this customer.

(22:21):
I'll make my own. But even in the I'm making
my own, he says, it won't it's not as tasty
as yours. So even in the midst of that he confesses,
I'll make my own if you don't put these back,
go back to sixteen ounces in twelve ounces. I don't
want to buy two twelves for twenty four. You charge

(22:43):
me for sixteen, and you downsize it to twelve, like
it's bideen inflation. I don't want to do all that.
I once you go back to sixteen and charge the same,
and if you don't, I'll make my own. Now it's
not as tasty as yours. I love that. It's like
he can't bring himself to lie. I will confess that
I will make my own. It won't be as good

(23:04):
as yours. You have to recognize that in your getting up,
going to work, doing your job, having a good time,
watching a football game, having a beer, eating a steak,
there are people who every aspect of your life is
a trigger for them. They don't want you to have steak.
You should have to go vegetarian. They don't want you

(23:25):
to drive your truck, you should have to drive electric.
They don't want you to shoot your gun. You should
be disarmed. Do you understand that these people have declared
war on you because their own miserable, sad, fat ass,
vapid lives your life. You ever tell somebody, hey, worry
about yourself. Don't worry about some of that's them.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
You know, my fair.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
You get on my nerves so bad every Friday afternoon
talking about ah, what is wrong with you white boy
from Urrage, Texas? Trying to pretend like there is somebody black.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
That is just a conclaborative mistral ignorance. But I forgive you.
You know why, because on Friday, we're free.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
We are free, and last free and last think going nobody,
We are free and last.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Amen. How you a cold one hundred?

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Oh, don't ruck me, because come on in stuns old center,
yalled mill.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
And golle e. When we're lonely, let's see we're transcendental
and we're hiding. And then it's times been sufferin we
call in perseverance.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
All right, I'm gonna go quick to the call, so
be ready. You got one minute each be first. You
guys sent me an email and I can't find his
original email. Oh he said, what was that opening? I
woke up to a beer Bert Reynolds five other clips.
Don't try too hard, guys, I get exhausted by everyone

(25:15):
wanting to be the producer of the show. It's fine
to have your own opinion, but you can have an
opinion without needing to express every opinion. Hey, I've loved
the show for the last three weeks, but today, you
know the five hour I listened all five hours a day.
I love the show. It's the best show ever. It's wonderful.
I appreciate everything to do. I don't pay anything for it.
It's great, it's wonderful everything. It's my favorite show, best

(25:36):
show ever. This is how emails will go. You'd be surprised.
It's best showever. I love it. I never wanted to change.
I love every minute of it. I love how relaxed
you are, how you entertain us, how you engage us,
you raise money for camp Hope. I love everything about it.
But today at ten forty one, for three seconds there
was a pause for a second, and I think maybe
you were taking a simple water and for that three

(25:56):
seconds you weren't talking, and you just kind of go.
This is why I shouldn't read my emails, because you don't.
You know what you ought to do at a moment
like that is go dumb ass, block move on, which
I do. But you I can't help but think, what's
going on in your life that you felt the need. Hey,
I was a three second pause there for a second.
Let me get my computer fired up here and send

(26:18):
an email like what would what would possess somebody to
need to do that? Why can't that thought just go
where the others go and move on? Can't do it?
So anyway, this guy sends an email he doesn't like
the opening montage. I love the opening montages. So I
kind of hammered him a little and he comes back,

(26:41):
but he explained this need to rank things, and I
thought it was pretty good in him. It got me
to thinking he's had he said, just trying to help.
Here's why it does matter. Why people want to rate
the loss of Charlie Charlie Kirk. Perhaps people feel violated
by an act of evil and so we're grappling with it.

(27:03):
It could be that somehow Charlie Kirk being cut down
violently in his prime makes it feel more significant. I
don't know. Point is MB Maybe people are trying to
get a grasp on this event. So saying that it's
a competition and it shouldn't be a competition and it
doesn't matter. Well, sometimes people might mistake what they're asking
you for Maybe they're not actually asking you to rate

(27:27):
it by comparison. Maybe they're saying, why does this feel
more significant to me? Maybe part of this is that
the people who are feeling this differently, maybe they're in
a different place, maybe they feel closer to this.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
That is very.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Very perceptive point. We all react to things based on
our own filter. I don't like the idea of ranking
how important deaths are, so maybe in my rush to

(28:09):
avoid that, I missed the forest for the trees, and
I missed what's important, which is right here, right now.
A lot of people who may not have ever felt

(28:30):
this way about someone they didn't personally know, but who
they admired for their ministry, for their work, for their activism.
Maybe they've never felt drawn, pulled, tugged, sucked into this

(28:56):
very powerful feeling and they don't know where to put it.
They've had this. I don't know why. So maybe if
it's the most important assassination in the history of mankind,
then okay, of course that's what's happening, because if it's not,
why am I feeling this? I didn't think about that

(29:18):
very interesting point. What I do know is that more
people than usual are reaching out about something that is
affecting them and they're feeling it personally. People telling me

(29:38):
they're going home and praying as a family before they
have dinner. People tell me they're praying with their children
when they put them to bed. They're praying with their
children in the morning. People are going to church that
haven't been or haven't been in a while. People are

(29:59):
h The guys at Republic Boot Company when we were
sitting out back the other day, they had been talking
for a year about doing a Bible study and they
couldn't coordinate the schedule. So Fireball Bill said, all right,
the schedule is getting in the way of what's important.
If you can't make it, one week, you don't come,

(30:21):
or one day they're going to start it daily. But
tomorrow morning we're starting our Bible study at eight third
in the morning, before the door's open. If you want
to get here early, we're going to do Bible study together.
And if you don't make it that day because something
came up or you have to drop your kid off,
then you just miss it. But that's what we're going
to do. We put it off long enough, we're going
to do it.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
And so I.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Always try to find some reason to smile in the
face of grief and sadness and tragedy. And I understand
that is off putting to some people because in some
way that denigrates, diminishes the importance of the person who died,
or the importance of the moment, or the sadness of

(31:08):
the moment. No, that's just how I personally not only
grieve but cope. That's how that's how I get through.
And you don't have to just understand mine is different
than yours. And I find that to be a very
useful way to go through life. And I've always done that.

(31:30):
