Speaker 6 (01:29):
So many times a grandmother steps in for various reasons
and raises the child of their child without any fanfare.
They just do it, and it's wonderful when that grandchild
appreciates and pays it back. In weighs large and small,
(01:51):
Justin Shirts was not originally scheduled as a pilot to
fly the plane from Memphis to Chicago that his grandmother
was on, but he swapped flights with the original pilot
when he learned his grandmother was on a flight. He
then surprised his grandmother, who raised him, with this special
(02:15):
pre flight announcement, Good afternoon.

Special flight for me.

I grew up here in the Memphis area.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They supported me.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
They've done everything they could to help me to get
to where I am today. I passed away earlier this year,
so he never got the opportunity to apply with me.
But this amazing crew that I'm flying with here today
was able to help me pull it off to where
(03:12):
my grandmother got the opportunity to apply to Chicago with
you today, and I will be the GOP. So we
do appre change her money to help her.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
But we did.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Man, That's what it's all about, right there. My goodness.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Twelve year old Skylar Darrington was at camp missed it
when those awful floods came through. She sings her rendition
of Hallelujah that she has rewritten the lyrics for.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
She was on.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Fox News a couple of days ago, performing for the nation,
she and her friends in her cabin. Those girls were
saved by Camp Mystic director Dick Eastland, who himself would
perish saving children at that facility. Part of the song
lyrics go on July the fourth, twenty twenty five, the
(04:14):
water rows and we went adrift, the baffled King composing, Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
This is her singing.
Speaker 9 (04:25):
I heard there was a giant flood, but we were
washed in Jesus' blood, And you don't really care for
my news, duya. On July the four, twenty twenty fifth.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
The best art seemingly always comes from such depth of
pain and grief and sadness and tragedy. Wow Wow, what
a beautiful song. What a beautiful song. And now a
(07:17):
word from our newest sponsor.
Speaker 2 (07:21):

Speaker 13 (08:19):
The Beard.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Than Michael Berry shaken from us far too soon.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
On the Bear.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
Everywhere.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Several of you sent emails yesterday when we played David
Caski and The Partridge Family to say, I'm assuming you
know that the Partridge Family was patterned after a real family.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Vocal group, and that was the.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Calcils, which is true, six siblings and their mother who
came to be known as Many Mom because she was
so little Barbara. They went on to quite a bit
of success. They started Houston Connection on Johnny Nash's label
of I can see clearly now fame. It was Johnny
Nash who discovered Bob Marley performing in a little joint
(09:33):
in Kingston, Jamaica. And got Bob Marley his first big contract.
The Colciles song is Hair, which leads to the greatest
w NBA highlight ever. There aren't many angel Reyes loud
mouths demanding pay me what I'm owed. Went up for
(09:56):
a layup yesterday and the ball hit the bottom of
the backboard.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It's just awful. It's like it's like a highlight film
of awful.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Well, the greatest highlight film ever occurred this week when
the wig of one of the players came off. She
was so embarrassed she just went running off the court
and then a fan who was clowning her.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
A fan was kicked out of the stadium. You don't
make fun of our players when they lose their wig.
Here's the story.
Speaker 13 (10:33):
I went through the row.
Speaker 14 (10:35):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, she's gonna go ahead
to the back.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Oh no, time out, called court proper to deal with
the malfunctions.
Speaker 15 (10:54):
And now they have.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
An issue with a fan.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
As the officials.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
As Phoenix Sus bench had an issue there having Alysta
Thomas and Nate Tibbets point out which fan it is,
so that security here I care first arena can have
that you dealt with as you're waiting to get back
(11:24):
to play here. So the officials are now talking to
arena security here.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
As you can see.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
You, a fan said something the Phoenix Mercury bench hurt
it and they did not like what was said. They're
taking exception to it. So Amy Bonnor cru chief is
trying to have this sorted out with the arena security
here as were the person it was, and that way
they can get it taken care of.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
He called her a wigger, a person wearing a wig,
and apparently that was very very upsetting. Me tell you something,
Congress Sheila Jackson Lee did not fight, fight for the
Crown Act just to have WNBA players losing their weaves
and being ridiculed different.
Speaker 13 (12:29):
Hair styles should not be the definition of your dignity.
And so personally, I say give us the Crown Act
not because we want to be different. It's because we
want to be the same. We want to be given
respect who we are. And yes, the King often said,
yes the content of our character. Yes, the content of
(12:54):
our character and the composition of our weave.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
A man, and amen, rabon, do you remember the story
about the lady from Ohio who had the mishap with
her weave. She went to get her hair dead and
took her weave off so she could have a different
weave applied, and unbeknownst to her, some of the weave
was hanging out. So naturally people called nine one one.
They thought she had somebody kidnapped in the back. This
(13:19):
is the police knocking on her door.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Are you Jesus?
Speaker 7 (13:25):
The craziest thing.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
You're not gonna believe what happened.
Speaker 14 (13:28):
So we got to call some of his concerns.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
So there's my hair.
Speaker 11 (13:34):
Oh Jesus, hold on.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
You though.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
You gotta see it though, Oh my Jesus, I agree, Ramona.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
If you listen to the play by play, Rome makes
the point, if you listen to the play by play, call,
you have no idea why Cooper's going to the back.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh he fixed it? Oh here it is wrong. Fix
the autio. It went through the rup.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, She's gonna go.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Had you to the back.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Reminds me of that time that Shirley cu lickor went
wig shopping.
Speaker 16 (14:35):
Hello, how you during, honey? I'm calling to ask you
about the wigs you got down there? Do you make
any wigs out of the two point two pound polyester
five of it is humidity and fireproofs. What kind of
wig y'all have down there that's gonna sale? Honey, human
it's a human humidity wig. Oh, he's synthetic human health.
(15:00):
And do that stay right looking? I mean, do it
mess up on your head or do it shank up
when it rain anything?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Well?
Speaker 16 (15:08):
You know, my hair is just so raggedy. I hate
to go to a wig, a stronger wig, but look
like I'm gonna have to.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
I come see.
Speaker 17 (15:17):
Do y'all give a discount for ignorance? Okay, good, thank you, darling,
My honey, this is.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 16 (15:31):
Not yes, no, you're not, you're not.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I yes, Sia, I.
Speaker 12 (15:37):
Can shoot at Patricks with a single car.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I can get a spar and WNBA game had to
be stopped because the player lost her wig.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
The announcers tried to avoid It's like when somebody streaking
at again. They tried to avoid talking about it, but
there was a stoppage of play because lord knows, we
can't mention that a player lost her wig. That'd be racist.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
And then.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And then a fan.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Laughed about it and was kicked out of the stadium.
They can't afford to kick out fans. They don't have
very many to spare. Well, that wasn't the only noteworthy
item in w NBA news this week. They beat the
snot out of Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What else is new?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
And oh, by the way, last night a fan threw
a green dildo on the court.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
Hayes gets plucked by my calls well.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Something flies on the cart actually from the crowd.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
The officials will say they will continue playing as that
goes off the fingertips of the valkyries and you can
see the objects the block right there, and the object comes,
that green thing bounces and it goes to the sideline.
Speaker 14 (17:05):
We're not exactly where. I'm not sure where it came from.
No room for any of that type of activity. Yeah,
and no one's picked.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
The objects up yet.
Speaker 14 (17:15):
You've got to go, oh my gosh, okay, okay, it's inappropriate.
Lets get them out of here.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
Whoever it is.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Glad we have the announcers to buy us time while
they took the dildo off the court. And I'm glad
we have the announcers to remind us. That's oh, my
favorite word from the left, that's inappropriate.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Do you mean the opposite of appropriate? Do you mean
we shouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
It's not appropriate because we want to be appropriate. That's
what we're eager to do. You know, we spent the
five bucks to watch a bunch of.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Women who don't like men or Kaitlin Clark play basketball badly.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Last thing we want to do is have any fun
while we're there. Oh no, that wouldn't be appropriate.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
There's no place for that, really, really, because honestly, but
for that, we wouldn't be talking about a bunch of
girls who played basketball badly.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Bill Burr on the WNBA.
Speaker 12 (18:40):
Do look at the WNBA. Nobody in the WNBA got COVID.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
Nobody.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
They've been playing in front of three to four hundred
people a night for a quarter of a century. Not
to mention, it's a male subsidized league.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
We gave you league.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
None of you shut up. Where are all the feminists.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That place should be.
Speaker 12 (19:07):
Packed with feminists, faces painted, wearing jersey, slashing the team,
going nuts like the guys though in the upper deck
with their big beer. Tu I open hump, I'll trot
am I doing it.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
The day.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
None of you, none of you went to the games.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
None of you.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You all you sailed down, Not me, not men.
Speaker 12 (19:41):
Women failed the w NBA ladies, Ladies, name your top
five all time w NBA players of all time, park
name five w NBA team, Navid w NBBA team, and
your you can't do.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It, you home give off.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
About them.
Speaker 12 (20:04):
They play night in and night out in front of nobody.
It's a tragedy, right, And then meanwhile you look at
the Kardashians. They're making billions. You know those Real housewife shows.
They're making money hand over fists, because that's what women
are watching. The money listens. You don't want to watch
(20:27):
the shop, you watch the ship. They just shoot it
over there, drowning these horse and money and purses and
shoes and botos.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It's just raining, it's raiding money. So the money listens.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
You'd rather watch that Real Housewives, a bunch of women
just tearing.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Each other down.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
Well, maybe that's why your husband laught too. That's why
your husband laught, That's why you can't have kids, pitch,
that's why you're as that's the message you said. We
would rather watch that and see a bunch of women
come together as a team and try to achieve a
common goal. We would run a bunch of actually destroy
each other you come back and you yell at guys
(21:18):
like and it's like, all right, so make it this straight.
I have to buy you a drink, stop the axe
murderer from coming through the window, and I have to
watch WNBA games for you, Like, where are you going
to pick up your end of the couch?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Nobody had more phone with the WNBA than Norm McDonald.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
After closing out a successful first season, the WNBA is
considering several changes to improve the level of play in
the league next year. Among the proposals extending the playoffs,
increasing salaries, bringing back the three point line, and replacing
all the feemale players with guys. The WNBA officials spanded
(22:00):
to ten teams this week, adding franchises in Detroit and Washington,
d C. But before you get too excited about the
new additions to the league, remember all of the players
are still women.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
They stink of basketball. That's the problem.
Speaker 15 (22:17):
Other than that'd be a good, good game, but they're
they're all horrible.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Thankes for a foreign game.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
It's so true, it is so incredibly true, and they're
angry that men won't watch it. The reason women aren't
really sports fans. You don't need to email me Michael,
how dare you say that I'd go to more Texas
(22:46):
A and M football games than you do. Good, you're
in the minority. Most women don't. Most women don't care
to watch sports.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
They don't. They just don't.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
It's not a big deal, it's not that important anything
that you have to keep shaming people into watching because
they don't of their own volition needs.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
To die a natural death. Period.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
This idea created by angry lesbians that everybody needs to
watch these women play basketball badly, and they play basketball badly.
If that offends you because you're for girl power, you've
never watched it, or you'd know I'm telling the truth.
And before you get angry, have you ever been to
(23:38):
a game? Have you ever actually been to a game?
How we decided or how these angry lesbian women decided
that this was what was going to be representative of
girl powers, that everybody would have to work.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
How silly is that is, Michael Ferry, show enjoy it.
Speaker 13 (24:15):
Different hair styles should not be the definition of your dignity.
And so personally, I say give us the Crown Act.
Not because we want to be different, it's because we
want to be the same. We want to be given
respect for who we are, and, as doctor King often said,
(24:37):
the content of our character.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
And the composition of our weave. Meanwhile, when Sheila Jackson
Lee passed headed to heaven, the scream and holler up
there she was replaced by Silvester Turner, the inimitable mayor
(25:07):
of the city of Euston. Rodney Ellis would name buildings
for her all across the county before the body was cold,
and I suspect he'll do the same for Sylvester Turner
before it's all over. Sylvester Turner passed, meaning that within
(25:28):
one year, three different individuals sat in the eighteenth Congressional
District seat, Sheila Jacksonlye, Sylvester Turner, and Sheila Jacksonlyine's daughter,
Erica Lee Carter, who is now running for County judge
in Harris County. Erica Lee Carter filled the unexpired term
(25:52):
but did not seek to run in the election, or
at least hasn't yet for the seat her mother held
for thirty years. A new poll from the University of
Houston Political Center shows the race for that congressional seat
is tied. Surprisingly Christian Menefee, who is Rodney Ellis's candidate
(26:16):
at nineteen percent, but city Councilman Amanda Edwards at nineteen percent.
Now they've done this as an open election, it won't be.
But Carmen Maria Montiel, a Republican, has been on our
show at fourteen percent. State Representative Joelanda Jones, also a
(26:39):
former city councilman. She took the seat I vacated when
I left city council at fourteen percent, George Foreman, the
fourth who's been on our show as an independent, at
four percent, and Isaiah Martin at three percent. Twenty seven
percent of voters responding unsure. So you've got the county Attorney,
(27:03):
Christian Menefee at nineteen percent, the city councilman Amanda Edwards
at nineteen percent, Jolanda Jones at fourteen percent, George Foreman
at four and twenty seven percent unsure, with fourteen percent
responding that they would vote for the Republican in the
(27:24):
Democrat primary. That means you've got Menefee, Edwards, and Jones
in what at this point is a pretty heated race.
Now the question will be who will have the money
to tell voters who they are and to say nasty
things about the others well, we know that Christian Minifie
(27:45):
will because Rodney Ellis likes to own that seat. He
needs somebody in DC to call the departments on his
behalf and send federal money for him to use on
his various programs and buy programs. Don't mean the voters
menefee would have the advantage. You would assume he's a
(28:06):
county wide elected official with Rodney Ellis's machine behind him.
Amanda Edwards tied with him, which is pretty darned impressive.
She's an attractive lady. She's a well spoken lady, by
which I mean she conjugates her b verds.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
She's pretty smart. She's a lawyer. I believe she was
going to run for mayor, and Sheila.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Jackson Lee talked her out of that race and promised
her her support in the congressional race.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
She should have stayed in
