minstrel crabs for your heart.

We're gonna lay around shandy warm and put a good boy.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm a guy who can get it for a time.
Cigarettes a bag of brief.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And if that's your thing, will pass to be a baby,
will pass it to be slow.
Speaker 5 (00:55):

buzz on. We have a caste at Gorilla would escape
from the zoo and punched.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
You and I.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Jeannette writes, Natalie was enemy number one when the COVID
mask fraud was consuming our life at SBISD. Every time
we spoke at board meetings trying to get rid of
mask mandates and all of the COVID nonsense. She was
right up there fighting for the anxiety ridden kids who
(01:40):
couldn't possibly attend school under the fear of illness. And
she was all over the transcrap as well. She is
a minace, and we prefer to call her Herpes. You
might be above name calling, but in this case I
am not. Apparently, some people call her Natalie Herpes, and
some people call her Natalie herptai well, referencing to herpetology
(02:03):
and snakes.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
She could just be a snake like std.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
The portmanteau of the two of natalis the herpetic snake.
You know, folks, the infiltration of these evil people into
every institution of our lives, our churches, our corporations, our schools.
(02:34):
It's important to remember these people don't come wearing the
six sixty six across their forehead. Where this goes wrong
is the naive neighbors says, oh, well, you know she,
you know she's We disagree on some things, but she's
a nice person. Don't give me nice ever again. People
(02:58):
can fake nice. She's an evil person. Where we went
wrong was this pursuit of some sort of nass, this
pursuit of some sort of diversity, this pursuit of people
who would be most unlike our values and our background,
because that was a noble end in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, it's not. That's not.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
If you have a football team and you have three
players retire, you don't think, well, we've won the super
Bowl three times in a row. What we need is
some people that are not good. We got a team
of all good players. We need to go get us
some not good players and feel good about ourselves. For
(03:44):
the fact of it. It's not how you do this.
You've got to root these people out. You've got to
have difficult conversations. You've got to prevent them from insinuating
themselves into your life. They can be spotted if you're
looking for it. And by the way they do insinuate themselves,
(04:04):
they infiltrate. They infiltrate your church, they infiltrate your homeowners association.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And the problem is they're very, very pushy, and our
people are not.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
You can have a company, a small business of ten
people that enjoys their workplace and shares in a mission
and is performing and accomplishing, executing, firing on all cylinders.
A liberal will come in there and within a month,
have the place split apart, and you know what the
split will be, the five who want are kicked out
(04:39):
and the five who feel bad, and we have to
give her a chance.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And there's that one liberal just destroyed the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
The worst enemy of goodness is the person who claims
to be like you, who feels a desperate need to
protect these people, feels a desperate need to keep telling
you no, no, no, they're.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Not that bad. No, no no. It's good for us
to reach out. It's good for us to be tolerant.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It's good for us to bring these snakes into our
midst and fall asleep, and they bite us. That's what
they do. They split you wide apart, They split your organization.
They separate people from their senses, They separate people from
each other. They destroy churches, schools, businesses, any organization. I've
(05:33):
seen it happen. I've seen it happen. I can't tell
you how many times. A person like that is a
miserable person. And the only way they find fulfillment not joy,
because she doesn't no joy, she can't no joy. The
only way they find fulfillment is putting a monkey wrench
into everything else, destroying anything that is good. It gives
(05:55):
them a sense of their on a mission. Don't let
them in your life, don't let them near you.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Uh, let's see Steve. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Go ahead, Hey, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I was just calling the brag on the Republic Boot Company.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yes, sir, my.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Wife took me there as a surprise for my birthday.
Walked in there and it's, like you say, the smell
in the atmosphere just something else, gentlemen about the name
of Johnny Falstaff came up to me. My wife says
he's here to get a pair of boots made. I'm
like what. So they take me to the back. He says,
what kind do you want? I said, well, I've always
(06:37):
wanted elephant. So he pulls out all these different hides.
We picked that out. Then he goes through the stitching,
the hill, the soul, the tops, the pools on everything. Wow.
Then on the way out he says, I want something
to drink or eat, So I got a beer set
in a chair while they measure my feet. A band
comes in starts playing live music, and it was just
(07:00):
a wonderful experience all the way around.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well, you know, Johnny fallstaff plays there too, works there
and plays there.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh really, I did not know that. And David James's
brother in law.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
But it was I'll tell you what I was. I
was excited about the fact that I'm getting a new
pair of boots made. Never had that done before, bought them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Sorry, montt use some boots for your vamp. Don't be intimidated.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
I don't know what what did you know?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
What? What's the vamp above your foot? The part is
going to be seen?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Oh it's uh, it's bison.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oh yeah, right, I got a bison up.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Hie, and I got it's a it's a mixture of
Brown's type of elephant. Uh. I bought a writer's hill
and I got uh.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
A writer's heel of what an inch and a half?
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yes, okay? And and I got the toe is like
a one inch square. It's not the big wide square.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah, I don't like the big white square. I mean,
I own some boots like that, and I find I
never wear them. I went with with the rounded off
the tradition. Well, good on you, and I'm happy were
probably would come. He took great car of you.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I'm not surprised a what they do. Oh, you
know what we ought to play. David James going through
King must be right.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You're listening to Michael Barry.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah. I've told the story before, but the audience is
always changing, so I'll tell it to you again. Devin
James wrote that song and that's Devin James James singing it.
And he had had done a show somewhere up North
Texas and they're coming back to Houston.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
In the middle of the night and he's driving to
Bay and Van and everybody else is asleep.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And as he's driving along and thinking and wondering if
this is all worth it, it's such a grind. He
sees a sign that says the way we have Nolan
Ryan Expressway. He sees a sign that says buck Owens
Freeway and realizes he's on the buck Owens Freeway. And
his immediate reaction is, well, that doesn't make any sense.
(09:19):
Buck Owens is from Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's the Bakers feel sound right in music terms, it's
a whole genre of music. That's what Dwight Yoakam is
you know on that coaching tree, that's where all that
comes from. Those are all derivative of the Bakers feel
sound of Merle and buck Owens wonder how come them
to name him strip of highway the buck Owens Highway
(09:45):
when he's sold Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So he looked it up and lo and behold, buck
Owens is from Sherman, Texas. And this was in Sherman, Texas.
That was Sherman laying claim to buck Owens being from Sherman.
That's what towns do to pay tribute to people from
(10:10):
that community who go on to fame, notoriety, celebrity, great influence.
You're listening Orange. You got bum Phillips and Wade Phillips,
both from Orange, Texas. But Lord knows we can't honor
them because we've got to be known for for what exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Anyway, So Davin wrote the song, and I love the song.
And I'm sitting out the other day, I got measured
for some boots in a new cowboy hat and a
new belt to match. No, it's not that kiss belt
I got when I was eight years old, But thank
you for asking.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's very sweet of you to ask. No, I'm very
excited about it. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So afterwards, we're sitting out back smoking cigars and it's
all the guys, and.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It looks like a meeting of Robert E.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Lee and Stonewall Jackson and the entirety of his cabinet,
you know, Jeff Davis over here, because they all have
Civil War beards and you know, the proper cowboy hat
and their boots, and they're drinking Lone Star beer and
I'm in my Astros tennis shoes, my shorts and my
T shirt to get measured from my boots. Anyway, So
(11:31):
when we're done, we sit out back and everybody, as
they wrap up for the evening, the whole crew, they
come out back and join me for cigars and we're
telling stories. And one of them said, hey, you're friends
with Davin James and I said, yeah, I'm friends with
Davin for a long time. And they said he's working
with us now, which I had no idea. I guess
(11:52):
Johnny Falstaff started working with them, and that's Davin's.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Brother in law.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
So you know, musicians are wise to find something they
can do when they have time, so then they can
still work their gigs in between, and so it kind
of keeps the rent paid but still lets you do
your passion, which is making music. And I think that's
(12:19):
cool that Republic Boot Company had the good sense to
see that. Well, lo and behold, he wasn't there but
for a few days until he starts calling buddies of
his and they start coming, guys that have been listening
to him making music, and they start coming in and
getting custom boots, and before you know it, he becomes
one of their top boot salesmen. Who would have guessed
that that would happen. But anyway, there's a fellow that
(12:41):
works there and he's got, you know, one of those
rolly fingers mustaches that they got to wax on on.
And he said, no, no, it's a Buffalo Speedway. I said, no,
it's a Bucko and speedway. And I promised I would
shame him. So if you go in there, look for
the dude asked it looks like rolly fingers, and tell
him it's the Bucko and his freeway.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You idiot.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
All right, This is Mark Chestnut and Jorizare of Talk Radio.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
And The One Good Magati Day seven, one thousand Andrew,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Oh sorry, you know what,
I didn't update it. I thought you had me for Andrew.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Uh, my bad Billy you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Proceeds sir, Yes, you're hopefully short and sweet.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
But uh, the news guy just said they're searching, they're
going to have a nationwide search for the new A
and M president. And I'm sitting here thinking Centerpoint went
to California and got us a jerk, and then why
don't we just.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Stay in Texas are for president. Surely there's one that
can run that college correctly, and we're Texas A and M.
If we have to, then we're just yeah, Texas A
and M.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I think, oh, you're talking about not chancellor but president. Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yeah, he resigns. So, uh is what the news said? Well, ago,
I'm assuming y'all's news is pretty straight.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, No, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I didn't hear the story, so I don't know what
they're reporting. I would just say what I do know, uh,
is that Glenn Hagar uh is set I think to
take over. I don't think he has yet as the chancellor,
which will open the comptroller's seat. And I would probably
(14:40):
say Don Huffines starts out in the lead in that
race against Christie Krattick and Kelly Hancock. My guess is
especially in a primary. Don Haffines comes out of that
thing with Hagar taking over at Texas A and M
and Brandon Creighton taking over at Texas Tech University.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I think that's a reflection by.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
The Border Regents and understanding that the universities in this
era are going to have to be more reflective of
public sentiment and the reason they fall out of line.
I've told you this before, but I'm going to tell
you again. It's very important to understand how this goes wrong.
(15:30):
You wonder, how does a Texas institution whose graduates are
probably the most conservative of any university's graduates in the country,
how did they run astray over all those years? And
I'll tell you very clearly. You get a Border Regents.
This made up of good old boys that made a
(15:53):
lot of money boil and gas, maritime, logistics, retail, PLAINUS law.
You get these guys that have been phenomenally successful in
their careers, and so the governor appoints them to be
on the board of Regions, the governing board.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
And when it comes.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Time and these guys are honored to get to be
on the board, it's a huge deal. I mean it's
a big deal. To be on a major university board
of regents. From the day they arrive, there are staffers
who begin to break them down and tell them, I
know you want to come in here and start telling
(16:37):
us what to do, but you don't want to do that.
And so these people will be lawyers and they'll say,
you don't want to do that because there's a lot
of federal education loss Title nine and at federal education laws,
and we don't want to run a foul of those
where it'll cost a university a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So you get olh blah blah.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
He's on the border regions, and he'll say, oh, it
cost us a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I mean, look, you know, that's why we have a
lot of our diversity programs in DEI and and and
that's why we have all of this, and we have
all of this and all of this, and even though
there's a lot of criticism, we have to explain to people,
you all don't know what's happening. You don't understand how
this works. There are federal guidelines and requirements, and we
don't want to lose our federal funding.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh, federal funding. Yeah, I know, I agree. I agree
and they go home and tell otherwise. Man, I tell
you what these universities today, it ain't like you think
they got.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
They got them, They got all these they got all
these requirements and stuff. You can't you know, you think
to yourself, why you got all these? You know, teaching,
how come a boy ought to cut off his wiener
one oh one?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Well, who needs a class in that?
Speaker 4 (17:40):
And then it turns out all of you know, federal government,
federal governments come in and giving them all these requirements
and restrictions and all this stuff. They got that thing
so messed up. But anyway, we're going to football game
this weekend and we're gonna sit it with a chancellor
and get you some a nice dress and things.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Is gonna be a good time. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And that's that they move on and they don't think
about the fact that their role is to bust all
that up and not listen to the staffer whose job
it is to control them. There is always a staffer
at a fortune five hundred company when a new board
of directors member comes on and they have the conversation
(18:23):
with them, and the conversation goes, you don't know what
you don't know, and there's in that case, there's sec requirements.
There are a lot of restrictions. There are a lot
of things. You can't just come in and start telling
the company what to do because you're on the border regients.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
That's not how it works.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
And so a lot of these guys are just so
honored to be on the board of directors of the
Border Regions or whatever else. It's it's it's such an
honor for them that they don't they don't go in
with the intention of fixing the institution. They go in
with the Wow, this is really need everybody will know.
(19:01):
I'm an esteem graduate of that institution because I got
to be on the Border Regions and maybe I'll write
a big check and they'll name a building after me.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, yeah, that's that's all great. That's part of the exchange.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You get the glamour and glory of the school from
which you graduated, honoring you, and you give them more money,
and they name buildings and they honor you and you
give them more money, and that's great. All of that's wonderful.
That's the ying and yang of how universities work. But
at the end of the day, and this is what
(19:35):
Trump did that no one had done before. At the
end of the day, you got to be the turn
a bunch of punch bowl every time they tell Trump, oh,
you can't in post tariffs, So yeah, I will, but
we'll get sued.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay, Suez. You've got to go in and bring change
at every That's how.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You end up with liberals at the head of major
Texas universities and things like.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That's how that happened to You might have to edit that.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
This is Mark chess Enjoy the cz are of talk radio.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Travis writes, your conversation about the college administration reminded me
of a tenet of the Institute of the Limbaugh Institute
of Conservative Studies. Any entity that is not actively conservative
will become liberal over time, and that is true. The
arc bends toward liberalism. Well, how come, Michael, because liberals
(20:31):
are more passionate. Liberalism is a religion, a religion whose
adherents are zealous. The most passionate will always win in
the long run, because they will grind you down. Our
folks believe in conservative principles more or less most of
(20:56):
the time, but they're not willing to make us think
about it. You can go back to Philly's Karen, who
went marching over with her Elizabeth Warren looking ass determined to.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Get that baseball.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
It was the boy's birthday and his dad had retrieved
the baseball and given it to his boy on his birthday.
And that Elizabeth Warren looking woman, Philly's Karen, comes over
and starts screeching at him. She wanted the ball and
she wouldn't stop short of the ball. So what did
(21:35):
the dad do? He gave her the ball. He took
the ball from his son. The only thing that got
more vitriol on the Internet than Philly's Karen was the
woosy dad who handed it to her. That dad is
(21:57):
the naive neighbor. That dad is what is wrong in
this country, the turn, the of the cheek folks. The
Oh there's no way they'd lie to us about the
COVID shot. Oh there's no way we're going into a
war zone that we shouldn't be. Oh there's no way
they would send our money to Ukraine so they could
launder it back through the Clintons and Biden's. They wouldn't
(22:19):
do that. Y'all are all crazy. Y'all are all conspiracy theories.
I'm just not I just don't worry about it that much.
It's just not that important. That's what happens. Whereas Philly's Karen,
what'd she do? When she goes back to her seat,
she then flips everybody off and proceeds to cuss everyone out.
How many times have you seen it where the bully
(22:40):
comes in, and often it's a liberal white woman. I've
seen this in workplaces. I've seen liberal white women in
workplaces become HR directors and the founder of the company,
a family run, multi generation business, was scared to death
of her Hey, Mercy, how did you end up in
(23:00):
that situation? Let's go to John j o h n
Ramon if you're wondering some people do jail In's j
o h n.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
John. What's your middle name?
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, I do agree with you on hold on, John,
what's your middle name?
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
My middle name?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah? Oh Leonard Leonard?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
How'd you end up with? Leonard is a middle name?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Well, I'm a junior.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh that's my dad's name.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
That's all I needed to know. All right, what do
you call about John?
Speaker 4 (23:37):
John? I, as you've probably called the show twenty five
times over the years, How many times.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Would you guess you called the show.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
You told me about, right? You know, I like speaking
to you and speaking to your audience. What's not being said?
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I mean, I do.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Agree with your analysis of u uh biblism in the Academian.
But there is one factor that is very seldom ever
spoken of, and that is how did liberals get into
Academian to begin with? And I maintain it's a result
(24:22):
of the Vietnam War. You know, you have guys like
Bill Dorin Mark Rudd who were members of violent anti
war organizations. And these guys were well educated. They came
(24:45):
from wealthy families. So what happened when the war ended, Well,
they moved on to Academian because they knew that they
could influence generations of young people in that position. And
so through the years they rose within the ranks of Academian.
(25:11):
They became administrators, and they and they, and then they
hired black minded people like themselves. And now for the
most part they have retired from Academian, but they have
laid a foundation of folks that they shared their views.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Mhm hm.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
What makes you think this, John, Well.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
There's another interesting uh note that doing the Vietnam War
period you're I'm your the schools they inflated grades and
in order to keep their students, their male students befted.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's absolutely yeah, No, you are absolutely right.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
The universities, especially what were considered to be the elite universities,
became a safe house for people seeking not to be
drafted to Vietnam. So you begin to see the polarization
of the university because the university becomes the place of
(26:41):
people who were, by virtue of why they ended up there, liberal,
and the folks that tended to be more socially conservative
or more traditional middle class American values, which were called
middle class, but they were actually working class. The great
(27:02):
beauty of America is the working class thinks they're middle class,
and the middle class wants to be thought of as
less well to do they are, and the poorest of
the rich class like to refer to themselves as middle class.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
There's no other country in the world.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Where you have these sorts of self identification anomalies and
the reasoning behind it. It's a fascinating, fascinating thing. But John,
I don't think you're wrong. I think that's a very
very interesting point. You posit all right, seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
The phone lines will be open and coming up
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load till
Michael Dairy Show is on the air. Shall to my fact,
make this job and shove it.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Joe, you're like movies about lady airs.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
He's down in the tone. But sometimes I get the
minstrel crabs for your heart.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This time you pack on Touca.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You wanna sit down in the kitchen and pix me

Speaker 2 (00:42):
We're gonna lay around shandy warm and put a good boy.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm a guy who can get it for a time.
Cigarettes a bag of brief.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And if that's your thing, will pass to be a baby,
will pass it to be slow.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
We'll take time off to smile a little before a
laddy it go.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
We're gonna letb shemt to MoMA and whatt a good
buzz on. We have a caste at Gorilla would escape
from the zoo and punched.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
You and I.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Jeannette writes, Natalie was enemy number one when the COVID
mask fraud was consuming our life at SBISD. Every time
we spoke at board meetings trying to get rid of
mask mandates and all of the COVID nonsense. She was
right up there fighting for the anxiety ridden kids who
(01:40):
couldn't possibly attend school under the fear of illness. And
she was all over the transcrap as well. She is
a minace, and we prefer to call her Herpes. You
might be above name calling, but in this case I
am not. Apparently, some people call her Natalie Herpes, and
some people call her Natalie herptai well, referencing to herpetology
(02:03):
and snakes.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
She could just be a snake like std.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
The portmanteau of the two of natalis the herpetic snake.
You know, folks, the infiltration of these evil people into
every institution of our lives, our churches, our corporations, our schools.
(02:34):
It's important to remember these people don't come wearing the
six sixty six across their forehead. Where this goes wrong
is the naive neighbors says, oh, well, you know she,
you know she's We disagree on some things, but she's
a nice person. Don't give me nice ever again. People
(02:58):
can fake nice. She's an evil person. Where we went
wrong was this pursuit of some sort of nass, this
pursuit of some sort of diversity, this pursuit of people
who would be most unlike our values and our background,
because that was a noble end in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, it's not. That's not.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
If you have a football team and you have three
players retire, you don't think, well, we've won the super
Bowl three times in a row. What we need is
some people that are not good. We got a team
of all good players. We need to go get us
some not good players and feel good about ourselves. For
(03:44):
the fact of it. It's not how you do this.
You've got to root these people out. You've got to
have difficult conversations. You've got to prevent them from insinuating
themselves into your life. They can be spotted if you're
looking for it. And by the way they do insinuate themselves,
(04:04):
they infiltrate. They infiltrate your church, they infiltrate your homeowners association.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And the problem is they're very, very pushy, and our
people are not.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
You can have a company, a small business of ten
people that enjoys their workplace and shares in a mission
and is performing and accomplishing, executing, firing on all cylinders.
A liberal will come in there and within a month,
have the place split apart, and you know what the
split will be, the five who want are kicked out
(04:39):
and the five who feel bad, and we have to
give her a chance.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And there's that one liberal just destroyed the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
The worst enemy of goodness is the person who claims
to be like you, who feels a desperate need to
protect these people, feels a desperate need to keep telling
you no, no, no, they're.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Not that bad. No, no no. It's good for us
to reach out. It's good for us to be tolerant.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It's good for us to bring these snakes into our
midst and fall asleep, and they bite us. That's what
they do. They split you wide apart, They split your organization.
They separate people from their senses, They separate people from
each other. They destroy churches, schools, businesses, any organization. I've
(05:33):
seen it happen. I've seen it happen. I can't tell
you how many times. A person like that is a
miserable person. And the only way they find fulfillment not joy,
because she doesn't no joy, she can't no joy. The
only way they find fulfillment is putting a monkey wrench
into everything else, destroying anything that is good. It gives
(05:55):
them a sense of their on a mission. Don't let
them in your life, don't let them near you.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Uh, let's see Steve. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Go ahead, Hey, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I was just calling the brag on the Republic Boot Company.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yes, sir, my.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Wife took me there as a surprise for my birthday.
Walked in there and it's, like you say, the smell
in the atmosphere just something else, gentlemen about the name
of Johnny Falstaff came up to me. My wife says
he's here to get a pair of boots made. I'm
like what. So they take me to the back. He says,
what kind do you want? I said, well, I've always
(06:37):
wanted elephant. So he pulls out all these different hides.
We picked that out. Then he goes through the stitching,
the hill, the soul, the tops, the pools on everything. Wow.
Then on the way out he says, I want something
to drink or eat, So I got a beer set
in a chair while they measure my feet. A band
comes in starts playing live music, and it was just
(07:00):
a wonderful experience all the way around.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well, you know, Johnny fallstaff plays there too, works there
and plays there.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh really, I did not know that. And David James's
brother in law.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
But it was I'll tell you what I was. I
was excited about the fact that I'm getting a new
pair of boots made. Never had that done before, bought them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Sorry, montt use some boots for your vamp. Don't be intimidated.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
I don't know what what did you know?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
What? What's the vamp above your foot? The part is
going to be seen?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Oh it's uh, it's bison.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oh yeah, right, I got a bison up.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Hie, and I got it's a it's a mixture of
Brown's type of elephant. Uh. I bought a writer's hill
and I got uh.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
A writer's heel of what an inch and a half?
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yes, okay? And and I got the toe is like
a one inch square. It's not the big wide square.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah, I don't like the big white square. I mean,
I own some boots like that, and I find I
never wear them. I went with with the rounded off
the tradition. Well, good on you, and I'm happy were
probably would come. He took great car of you.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I'm not surprised a what they do. Oh, you
know what we ought to play. David James going through
King must be right.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You're listening to Michael Barry.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah. I've told the story before, but the audience is
always changing, so I'll tell it to you again. Devin
James wrote that song and that's Devin James James singing it.
And he had had done a show somewhere up North
Texas and they're coming back to Houston.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
In the middle of the night and he's driving to
Bay and Van and everybody else is asleep.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And as he's driving along and thinking and wondering if
this is all worth it, it's such a grind. He
sees a sign that says the way we have Nolan
Ryan Expressway. He sees a sign that says buck Owens
Freeway and realizes he's on the buck Owens Freeway. And
his immediate reaction is, well, that doesn't make any sense.
(09:19):
Buck Owens is from Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's the Bakers feel sound right in music terms, it's
a whole genre of music. That's what Dwight Yoakam is
you know on that coaching tree, that's where all that
comes from. Those are all derivative of the Bakers feel
sound of Merle and buck Owens wonder how come them
to name him strip of highway the buck Owens Highway
(09:45):
when he's sold Bakersfield, California.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So he looked it up and lo and behold, buck
Owens is from Sherman, Texas. And this was in Sherman, Texas.
That was Sherman laying claim to buck Owens being from Sherman.
That's what towns do to pay tribute to people from
(10:10):
that community who go on to fame, notoriety, celebrity, great influence.
You're listening Orange. You got bum Phillips and Wade Phillips,
both from Orange, Texas. But Lord knows we can't honor
them because we've got to be known for for what exactly.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Anyway, So Davin wrote the song, and I love the song.
And I'm sitting out the other day, I got measured
for some boots in a new cowboy hat and a
new belt to match. No, it's not that kiss belt
I got when I was eight years old, But thank
you for asking.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It's very sweet of you to ask. No, I'm very
excited about it. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
So afterwards, we're sitting out back smoking cigars and it's
all the guys, and.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It looks like a meeting of Robert E.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Lee and Stonewall Jackson and the entirety of his cabinet,
you know, Jeff Davis over here, because they all have
Civil War beards and you know, the proper cowboy hat
and their boots, and they're drinking Lone Star beer and
I'm in my Astros tennis shoes, my shorts and my
T shirt to get measured from my boots. Anyway, So
(11:31):
when we're done, we sit out back and everybody, as
they wrap up for the evening, the whole crew, they
come out back and join me for cigars and we're
telling stories. And one of them said, hey, you're friends
with Davin James and I said, yeah, I'm friends with
Davin for a long time. And they said he's working
with us now, which I had no idea. I guess
(11:52):
Johnny Falstaff started working with them, and that's Davin's.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Brother in law.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
So you know, musicians are wise to find something they
can do when they have time, so then they can
still work their gigs in between, and so it kind
of keeps the rent paid but still lets you do
your passion, which is making music. And I think that's
(12:19):
cool that Republic Boot Company had the good sense to
see that. Well, lo and behold, he wasn't there but
for a few days until he starts calling buddies of
his and they start coming, guys that have been listening
to him making music, and they start coming in and
getting custom boots, and before you know it, he becomes
one of their top boot salesmen. Who would have guessed
that that would happen. But anyway, there's a fellow that
(12:41):
works there and he's got, you know, one of those
rolly fingers mustaches that they got to wax on on.
And he said, no, no, it's a Buffalo Speedway. I said, no,
it's a Bucko and speedway. And I promised I would
shame him. So if you go in there, look for
the dude asked it looks like rolly fingers, and tell
him it's the Bucko and his freeway.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You idiot.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
All right, This is Mark Chestnut and Jorizare of Talk Radio.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
And The One Good Magati Day seven, one thousand Andrew,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Oh sorry, you know what,
I didn't update it. I thought you had me for Andrew.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Uh, my bad Billy you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Proceeds sir, Yes, you're hopefully short and sweet.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
But uh, the news guy just said they're searching, they're
going to have a nationwide search for the new A
and M president. And I'm sitting here thinking Centerpoint went
to California and got us a jerk, and then why
don't we just.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Stay in Texas are for president. Surely there's one that
can run that college correctly, and we're Texas A and M.
If we have to, then we're just yeah, Texas A
and M.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I think, oh, you're talking about not chancellor but president. Okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yeah, he resigns. So, uh is what the news said? Well, ago,
I'm assuming y'all's news is pretty straight.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, No, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I didn't hear the story, so I don't know what
they're reporting. I would just say what I do know, uh,
is that Glenn Hagar uh is set I think to
take over. I don't think he has yet as the chancellor,
which will open the comptroller's seat. And I would probably
(14:40):
say Don Huffines starts out in the lead in that
race against Christie Krattick and Kelly Hancock. My guess is
especially in a primary. Don Haffines comes out of that
thing with Hagar taking over at Texas A and M
and Brandon Creighton taking over at Texas Tech University.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I think that's a reflection by.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
The Border Regents and understanding that the universities in this
era are going to have to be more reflective of
public sentiment and the reason they fall out of line.
I've told you this before, but I'm going to tell
you again. It's very important to understand how this goes wrong.
(15:30):
You wonder, how does a Texas institution whose graduates are
probably the most conservative of any university's graduates in the country,
how did they run astray over all those years? And
I'll tell you very clearly. You get a Border Regents.
This made up of good old boys that made a
(15:53):
lot of money boil and gas, maritime, logistics, retail, PLAINUS law.
You get these guys that have been phenomenally successful in
their careers, and so the governor appoints them to be
on the board of Regions, the governing board.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
And when it comes.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Time and these guys are honored to get to be
on the board, it's a huge deal. I mean it's
a big deal. To be on a major university board
of regents. From the day they arrive, there are staffers
who begin to break them down and tell them, I
know you want to come in here and start telling
(16:37):
us what to do, but you don't want to do that.
And so these people will be lawyers and they'll say,
you don't want to do that because there's a lot
of federal education loss Title nine and at federal education laws,
and we don't want to run a foul of those
where it'll cost a university a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So you get olh blah blah.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
He's on the border regions, and he'll say, oh, it
cost us a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I mean, look, you know, that's why we have a
lot of our diversity programs in DEI and and and
that's why we have all of this, and we have
all of this and all of this, and even though
there's a lot of criticism, we have to explain to people,
you all don't know what's happening. You don't understand how
this works. There are federal guidelines and requirements, and we
don't want to lose our federal funding.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh, federal funding. Yeah, I know, I agree. I agree
and they go home and tell otherwise. Man, I tell
you what these universities today, it ain't like you think
they got.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
They got them, They got all these they got all
these requirements and stuff. You can't you know, you think
to yourself, why you got all these? You know, teaching,
how come a boy ought to cut off his wiener
one oh one?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Well, who needs a class in that?
Speaker 4 (17:40):
And then it turns out all of you know, federal government,
federal governments come in and giving them all these requirements
and restrictions and all this stuff. They got that thing
so messed up. But anyway, we're going to football game
this weekend and we're gonna sit it with a chancellor
and get you some a nice dress and things.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Is gonna be a good time. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And that's that they move on and they don't think
about the fact that their role is to bust all
that up and not listen to the staffer whose job
it is to control them. There is always a staffer
at a fortune five hundred company when a new board
of directors member comes on and they have the conversation
(18:23):
with them, and the conversation goes, you don't know what
you don't know, and there's in that case, there's sec requirements.
There are a lot of restrictions. There are a lot
of things. You can't just come in and start telling
the company what to do because you're on the border regients.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
That's not how it works.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
And so a lot of these guys are just so
honored to be on the board of directors of the
Border Regions or whatever else. It's it's it's such an
honor for them that they don't they don't go in
with the intention of fixing the institution. They go in
with the Wow, this is really need everybody will know.
(19:01):
I'm an esteem graduate of that institution because I got
to be on the Border Regions and maybe I'll write
a big check and they'll name a building after me.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, yeah, that's that's all great. That's part of the exchange.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You get the glamour and glory of the school from
which you graduated, honoring you, and you give them more money,
and they name buildings and they honor you and you
give them more money, and that's great. All of that's wonderful.
That's the ying and yang of how universities work. But
at the end of the day, and this is what
(19:35):
Trump did that no one had done before. At the
end of the day, you got to be the turn
a bunch of punch bowl every time they tell Trump, oh,
you can't in post tariffs, So yeah, I will, but
we'll get sued.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay, Suez. You've got to go in and bring change
at every That's how.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You end up with liberals at the head of major
Texas universities and things like.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That's how that happened to You might have to edit that.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
This is Mark chess Enjoy the cz are of talk radio.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Travis writes, your conversation about the college administration reminded me
of a tenet of the Institute of the Limbaugh Institute
of Conservative Studies. Any entity that is not actively conservative
will become liberal over time, and that is true. The
arc bends toward liberalism. Well, how come, Michael, because liberals
(20:31):
are more passionate. Liberalism is a religion, a religion whose
adherents are zealous. The most passionate will always win in
the long run, because they will grind you down. Our
folks believe in conservative principles more or less most of
(20:56):
the time, but they're not willing to make us think
about it. You can go back to Philly's Karen, who
went marching over with her Elizabeth Warren looking ass determined to.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Get that baseball.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
It was the boy's birthday and his dad had retrieved
the baseball and given it to his boy on his birthday.
And that Elizabeth Warren looking woman, Philly's Karen, comes over
and starts screeching at him. She wanted the ball and
she wouldn't stop short of the ball. So what did
(21:35):
the dad do? He gave her the ball. He took
the ball from his son. The only thing that got
more vitriol on the Internet than Philly's Karen was the
woosy dad who handed it to her. That dad is
(21:57):
the naive neighbor. That dad is what is wrong in
this country, the turn, the of the cheek folks. The
Oh there's no way they'd lie to us about the
COVID shot. Oh there's no way we're going into a
war zone that we shouldn't be. Oh there's no way
they would send our money to Ukraine so they could
launder it back through the Clintons and Biden's. They wouldn't
(22:19):
do that. Y'all are all crazy. Y'all are all conspiracy theories.
I'm just not I just don't worry about it that much.
It's just not that important. That's what happens. Whereas Philly's Karen,
what'd she do? When she goes back to her seat,
she then flips everybody off and proceeds to cuss everyone out.
How many times have you seen it where the bully
(22:40):
comes in, and often it's a liberal white woman. I've
seen this in workplaces. I've seen liberal white women in
workplaces become HR directors and the founder of the company,
a family run, multi generation business, was scared to death
of her Hey, Mercy, how did you end up in
(23:00):
that situation? Let's go to John j o h n
Ramon if you're wondering some people do jail In's j
o h n.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
John. What's your middle name?
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, I do agree with you on hold on, John,
what's your middle name?
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
My middle name?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah? Oh Leonard Leonard?
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
How'd you end up with? Leonard is a middle name?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Well, I'm a junior.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh that's my dad's name.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
That's all I needed to know. All right, what do
you call about John?
Speaker 4 (23:37):
John? I, as you've probably called the show twenty five
times over the years, How many times.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Would you guess you called the show.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
You told me about, right? You know, I like speaking
to you and speaking to your audience. What's not being said?
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I mean, I do.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Agree with your analysis of u uh biblism in the Academian.
But there is one factor that is very seldom ever
spoken of, and that is how did liberals get into
Academian to begin with? And I maintain it's a result
(24:22):
of the Vietnam War. You know, you have guys like
Bill Dorin Mark Rudd who were members of violent anti
war organizations. And these guys were well educated. They came
(24:45):
from wealthy families. So what happened when the war ended, Well,
they moved on to Academian because they knew that they
could influence generations of young people in that position. And
so through the years they rose within the ranks of Academian.
(25:11):
They became administrators, and they and they, and then they
hired black minded people like themselves. And now for the
most part they have retired from Academian, but they have
laid a foundation of folks that they shared their views.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Mhm hm.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
What makes you think this, John, Well.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
There's another interesting uh note that doing the Vietnam War
period you're I'm your the schools they inflated grades and
in order to keep their students, their male students befted.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's absolutely yeah, No, you are absolutely right.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
The universities, especially what were considered to be the elite universities,
became a safe house for people seeking not to be
drafted to Vietnam. So you begin to see the polarization
of the university because the university becomes the place of
(26:41):
people who were, by virtue of why they ended up there, liberal,
and the folks that tended to be more socially conservative
or more traditional middle class American values, which were called
middle class, but they were actually working class. The great
(27:02):
beauty of America is the working class thinks they're middle class,
and the middle class wants to be thought of as
less well to do they are, and the poorest of
the rich class like to refer to themselves as middle class.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
There's no other country in the world.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Where you have these sorts of self identification anomalies and
the reasoning behind it. It's a fascinating, fascinating thing. But John,
I don't think you're wrong. I think that's a very
very interesting point. You posit all right, seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand.
