Open line Friday means you may call and discuss whatever
is on your mind. But I do hope we'll get
some folks who will say, you know what surprised me

(05:32):
about this campaign? You know the thing that sticks out
that people forget about, You know the thing that I
think is gonna move some voters and doesn't get talked about.
You know, the thing that really affected me that other
people may not have noticed. Whatever that is your assessment.
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. You can
of course always email me through the website Michael Eryshow

(05:54):
dot com seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
And to get us started, as we all ways do.
My favorite parts of the week. Courtesy of the greatest
executive producer in all the land, Chattaconi Nakanishi your weekend review.

(06:17):
There's a little old lady out there route now there,
I say, probably quite a few who I just said,
fox trot, Pat Boon, I said love letters in the sand,
And they're thinking, now.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
This is my kind of show.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
This right here, all that other stuff y'all carrying on
and all in but this do more shows like this, Michael.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
But that chambourree happening right now, you see it. They're
on your screen. In that place is particularly chilling because
in nineteen thirty nine, more than twenty thousand supporters of
a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for
a so called pro America routy.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened
in the mid nineteen thirties at Madison's Square Garden. And
don't think that he doesn't know for one second exactly
what they're doing there, White nationalists, Nazi type rally. They're
trying to equate Trump expelling illegal aliens, murderers, hadophiles, sex
traffickers out of this country as he's just like Hillary.

(07:17):
There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle
of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
Rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well,
let me tell you something. The only garbage I see
floating out there. As his supporter in.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump in a garbage Truckump in a
garbage truck.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
And I have to begin by saying, two hundred and
fifty million Americans are not garbage.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
When there appeared to be a stumble with the pile
of garbage Puerto Rico jet, the recovery was dramatic. She said, Hey,
do you know that at the Trump rallies, President Trump
is playing this audio of your show. They've even taken
over recently Times Square in New York stag open borders,
deadly consequences, ordered crisis. Record high crossings are putting a

(08:05):
string upon cities across America. It is a full blowdervation long,
go back, go back, It's up. It's inside my soul
the way n R does.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
You the same. Let me.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Loaded this hand in which we live in make.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Crime.

Speaker 8 (08:57):
I'm just sitting here listening to my therey.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Get the sleepy heads out of bed, get them fed,
get them rested up, get your stuff.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
In the seven one three, nine, one thousand. Hold on.
We can't get to this point by kids, by kids.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
The fields died the month.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Every week when this plays, it's sonic branding. You probably
figured this out. But I like to know the behind
the scenes of people's business. So I'm talking to Angus
Davis at Texas State Rentals. I want to know who's
renting a bulldozer? Is it Marvin E. Meyer? Is he

(09:43):
making a killdozer? How do I know if I'm leveling
a building if they got a basement underneath, because I
don't want to get stuck. And then there I am
in the middle and I was still trying to tear
up half a granby because I got access to grind
and built. It's the level. But I forgot what I

(10:07):
was gonna tell you. Oh, so I like to know,
you know what kind of people are renting a back hole?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Is it Daniel Dean because he got a big project
and all the equipment he's got he needs one more?
Or is it like some dude? How often does some
dude show up or some woman a girl shows up
and says, in a thick country accent, what's the veggas

(10:37):
bulldozer you got? Does that happen?

Speaker 8 (10:42):
Man?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I'll tell you what. And I know this because of
the listener trips we've taken. But we got a couple
of lady listeners. We got Cheryl. What's Cheryl's name?

Speaker 7 (11:00):
Name?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Though, Call Emily and ask Cheryl's last name. Emily runs
these trips from me, and she remembers every detail. Cheryl,
we don't actually know her last name because her last
name was the name of her boat or something, remember
Cheryl Matico or something. So Cheryl runs a h birds

(11:23):
predator bird sanctuary down in like, uh, where was ze
Zy Tops House? What's that place down there at the
end of the water. Huh? No? Not the Great Dead
Gum come on, Ramon. They got a couple of restaurants.
They got mcgilla Cuddies or whatever down there. Connie goes

(11:43):
that place all time. They got the two restaurants that
everybody loves. Gil Hooley's no, it's it's at the It's
a sand hill, you know, it's the place like nobody
knows it exists, which what makes it perfect. But you
cut off of forty five and you go all the
way over and Dusty Hill had a house over there,

(12:07):
San Leon, what made you think of it? Yeah, that
I gave you better clues. Well, you're from that part
of the world. I'm not. I'm a Golden Triangle boy.
I'm gonna heat. So so Cheryl runs call Emily and
asked Caryl's last name. Cheryl runs the Birds of Prey,

(12:30):
not Birds of Prey, Predator Bird Sanctuary. So she's got
all these cool birds. And Cheryl is a tough little thing.
She's about five too. But she would kill you. And
I think she could probably kill you in many different ways.
And she wouldn't do it on purpose. She just do
it to defend herself, an innocent person or one of

(12:51):
them killer birds. Right. If Cheryl came in there wanting
a bulldozer. I'd say, here's the keys man. How many
days do I put you down for the other one
is Linda Hall that lives out in maybe Lee County.
Ramon what county is Gettings in? So follow me here,

(13:16):
I'm headed. I'm headed northwest on two ninety. Okay. So
I've gone through Brentha, I've gone through Burton, I've gone
through two thirty seven. Cut off said hell over at Holmes.
Kept going, there's Carmeen, kept going, huh it is Lee County. Okay,
So I kept going. I go into Gettings, which has

(13:36):
added a bunch of new stuff. And then as I'm
going into Gettings there is kind of the old city,
you know, the most charming part of Gettings, which is
you know where the little retail was. You know, it's
like an old town, but the highway goes through it.
You stopped right there. I think there's a bank on

(13:58):
the left. When you turn to the right, is that Lexington? Yeah,
I think it's Lexington. You go to from the right
right there, you know I'm talking about you turn to
the right right there. That might actually still be twenty one,
but I might be wrong. But Linda lives somewhere out there.
She sent me a picture of She's got craggy rocks

(14:23):
and outcroppings of limestone that you would think you were
in Fredericksburg. Like they're twenty feet high and they're kind
of they're kind of not mountainous. But I didn't know
you had that kind of topography in that area. But
Linda will send me pictures of her tractors and stuff

(14:45):
like that. Linda might have a kill dozer out there
just in case Gettings pisses her off. She could and
think about Gettings. Unlike Granby, you could if you had
a head of steam. In that scene Marv's kill dozer
it started even if he hadn't gotten hooked on that track.
That if there hadn't been a basement below that building,
I think he I don't think he had a lot

(15:06):
left because that thing was spewing smoke. Because he had it,
he had it so covered up. I think it couldn't
get the heat out right. But if Linda was to
get mad and she was to pick one side or
the other of two ninety, she could start, uh, like
at that peanut. You know, there's that peanut operation there.
I forget what it's called. Its big peanut, not manufacturer.

(15:30):
What do you call that a big peanut? What do
you call a place that brings in the peanuts and
cleans him up? Huh yeah, a peanut plant? Yeah, okay, yeah.
If she was to start on that side and start
in on the peanut plant, she could start moving back
toward Houston. She could take out the bank, She could
take out the old rebus which has moved across the street,

(15:53):
which is now something else. She could she could plow
all the way through there, all the way through to
the walmart, and keep going all the way down to
the Super eight before they got her. See, Marv's problem
is he did a lot of driving, and when he
wasn't doing any damage, right, and then he like he
moving around, He goes runs out old Ladies House, and
then he goes to city Hall. He waited till the

(16:14):
kids left in fairness, and then when he comes back
up and makes that curve and they put that big uh,
that big I don't know what that was. It's a
long piece of equipment. They put that in front of him.
He just laughed. He just blew that thing out of
the way. But that's what pinned him in there at
the end. If y'all haven't seen the movie, tread, watch

(16:35):
that this weekend and it will explain a lot of
my psyche. The guy's name was Marv Niemeyer, and you
can just look up Killdozer and Gramby Colorado. But you
know what I like to think about in a situation
like that, I like to think that the next town over,
when they went to screw a guy over and said,

(16:56):
let's not give him his septics so we can get
his property, they said, well, woo woo hoo, hook new New.
I don't want you know, when people lose their mind
like that, in a justified rational manner, it's not always
all bad, because I want people to think about, you
know what, before you screw the next guy over, I

(17:16):
want you to think, is this the one gonna snap?
Maybe I ought to do the right thing this time.
Maybe this time I won't be a self dealing politician.
I won't be an awful human being. Maybe this time
I'll honor the warranty, you know, Maybe this time I'll
honor the Limon law. Maybe this time I'll do the

(17:36):
right thing. How about that, Maruka? Yeah, but what did
we call her, Cheryl Dives? Oh, I know what it was,
Cheryl Dives. I thought her name was Cheryl Dives because
that was like her Twitter handle, because she also does dive.
All of that. By way of saying, if Cheryl or
Linda comes in and I owned Texas State Rentals and

(17:59):
Angus was my co owner, and he say, look at
this girl, come up here, I'd say let her them.
Two girls right there, they can flat out run a bulldozer.
I guarantee you. I guarantee you they better than I could.
Part of my admiration from Marv is just how much
time it took to build a darn All right, your

(18:22):
call's coming up. I will die for this country. I
will die for this class. To Michael Berry show, he's
the big honor to be living in the United States.
All right, to the phone lines we go. Today is
the last day of early voting. I want to be

(18:43):
very clear, We're not almost done. That's not the way
this thing works. The election is backloaded. So while I
am delighted with the early vote numbers, if you were
to ask me if we're winning in Harris County right now,
I would say probably not. There are people who will
tell you that they know, but you don't know precisely,

(19:07):
because I do believe some Democrats are going to vote Republican. Unfortunately.
I think there are some Mitt Romney, Dick Cheney Republicans
who will vote Democrat, they will vote against Donald Trump.
But I think it's much more likely that Democrats will
vote Republican, especially you're going to get more black Democrats
traditionally Democrat voters who are going to vote Republican. We

(19:30):
just don't know when people go in that. We know
what they've done in the past. We know if they
voted in the last We know if they voted in
the primary in the Republican primary this year, we know
if they voted in past primaries. We know if they
voted in city elections. So we have some bases upon
which to make educated guesses, but we don't know precisely

(19:52):
when they get in there what they do. I just don't.
And the Democrats have been running a stealth campaign that
tells women, Hey, go in there and vote for Kamala
girl power. You don't have to tell your husband. They've
spent a lot of money on that, which is interesting

(20:12):
because you can have privacy from a man in the
ballot box, ladies, say the Democrats. But your daughter can't
have privacy from a man in the locker room. And
your daughter has to compete against men on the playing
field that are stronger, bigger, that's a fact. But you

(20:37):
you can have privacy in the ballot box. And by
the way, if we Democrats burn this whole place down,
don't worry. You can still get an abortion on every corner.
And that have you believe that women are dying because
they weren't able to get an abortion when they just
decided they wanted one eight months into their pregnancy. They

(20:59):
don't tell you how many women die from a botched
abortion gone wrong. That happens too. Is that the single
most important thing to voters? No, it's not. The border is.
The economy is, and that's what people care about because
that's what's on your doorstep. Seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand. Let's go through these calls. My fault talking

(21:20):
too much, Jennifer, you're up, sweetheart.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
Go ahead, Hi, good morning. I called a couple of
weeks ago to brag on my grandpa, and today I
wanted to call and brag on my son. Recently, he's
done three really amazing things. His name is Jace. He
is a second grader. The first thing, I got a
call from the principal's office, which is a little alarming,

(21:45):
but I found out he got sent to the principal
for good behavior. He was the only kid to stay
on task according to his teacher. The second thing is
he started studying for a spelling bee, and out of
everyone in the second grade, he was one of the
top eight. And then I found out today that is
he reading on the third no no, no, uh. Not

(22:10):
only is he reading on a third grade rening level
he's in second grade, but that he is improved by
two grades and he will be receiving a bicycle because
he signed up. If you can not two grades, but
two levels, if you can increase your ring level by
two levels, you get a bike. And so he's done
all that just by October. Yep, a bike. But the

(22:35):
most amazing thing is I don't know. He's doing all
this while me and his daddy are going to a
real difficult separation. So he's moved, he started a new school,
we're living with family now, and throughout everything that's going
chaotic and his life, he is just blow And I

(23:00):
could not be more proud.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Ramon turned the phones off Call of the Week. There's
no way we can top that call. There's it's impossible
that we can have a better call than that. That's it.
I'll find something else to do.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
What school?

Speaker 1 (23:14):
What did he do to get sent to the principal
principal's office for good behavior? What was the thing that
that brought to their attention?

Speaker 7 (23:23):
They just said he was the only kid all day
to stay on task whatever day. I guess it was
a real rough day for everyone, and he was the
only wine in class. So it's I live in Texas City.
It used to be called north Side and they went
and changed the name when I moved back, So now
it's called Guahardo Elementary.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
How do you spell that?

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Oh? Lord, she.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Say it again?

Speaker 7 (23:49):
You would see say it again? Well, glhardo, girhardo, grhardo.
I'm not gonna lie. When I first fout out the name,
we started calling it Guadalajara. We're making fun of it.
But I actually went to that elementary school, but it
was called north Side when I was a kid. And
the reason why I too, I struggled to spell it

(24:10):
is I'm extremely dyslexic and that's another reason I'm so
proud of my son, because.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
You're extremely already spelling.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Words, proud of him because you already expelled.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Extremely what.

Speaker 7 (24:23):
Proud?

Speaker 4 (24:24):
Very very?

Speaker 1 (24:24):
No, No, you have a condition, you said.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
Oh, I'm dick flexic.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Very She says dyslexic in a dyslexic manner. That's very perfect.
I love that she even transposes the letters in dyslexic
to make it funny. I like you a lot, Jennifer.
Let me ask you. He's in Jace is in second grade? Yes,

(24:53):
how does one spell jace.

Speaker 7 (24:57):
J a ce like it should? He's still I.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Don't know what that means. I never heard of such
a name.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
You can't add a y in there.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's just are they naming kids Jason?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Now?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Is that? Is that happening? I mean, what's the principal's
name that he went to see? What's the principal's name
that he went to see?

Speaker 7 (25:19):
Miss Patterson?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Miss Patterson she a white woman or black woman?

Speaker 7 (25:25):
She's a white woman.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
What's her first name? Ramote noser phut me on the spot, Ramots,
I'm going to call that elementary. I love that they're
calling kids to the principal's office. For doing something good.
That Wow, that makes my day. Welcome to the lifestyles
of the not so rich and famous are as. I
call it the Michael Barry Joe small world. My golden

(25:59):
train is Ramone's Santa Fe, Texas City League City, that
whole region. So when she said miss Patterson, Ramone said,
that's Wendy Patterson. But we're already going to break. So
we called Mama Martha his did she work at the school?
How she know her? Then? Oh, she used to work,

(26:20):
That's what I mean. What did she do at the school?
So Mama Martha was a teacher's assistant. Of course she
was at that at that elementary, at a different elementary.
What what elementary was she at? I bet you there's
somebody out there that's going to go, oh my god.
I just realized missus Robless would be Ramone's mom. Oh

(26:44):
my god. Why did I never think of that? It's
Guhardo Elementary. Do you know who the Guihardo is? No,
it's a restaurant you check ass huh Manuel Gohardo Junior.
How do you know that? It's so weird for me

(27:07):
when you know things like I always think you're just joking.
So anyway, we got Mama Martha is getting a producer
credit on this segment because she is calling Miss Wendy
Patterson to tell her we'd like to have her on
the air. I have to tell you, I'm blown away
when you start sending kids to the elementary I mean

(27:30):
to the principal for doing a good thing. That tells
me something about that teacher, That tells me something about
that principle, That tells me something about that culture. You
did not get into teaching to scold kids. You did
not get into teaching to belittle kids. You did not

(27:54):
get into teaching and education for the negative aspects. The
negative aspects are a burden that you must bear. You
got into teaching to uplift, to motivate, to inspire these
children to soar. And the fact that somebody hasn't lost

(28:16):
sight of that in the middle of it all because
you ever go to your kids' school. I'll tell you
what my experience is when my kids were little in
elementary school. You go to your kids school, like you know,
bring your parent for donut day or bring your parent
for lunch. My wife and I would scould daddle off
that campus after thirty minutes of being there and go, whoo,

(28:40):
I'm going to go back to a place of sanity
and calm, like the office. That's mayhem. Those kids, they're
all sweaty and stinky and boogery and dirty. They got
they got dirt everywhere, and they got that smell. Little
kids have that smell like you know how dogs when

(29:02):
they come in, they got that smell.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
I love them, They're precious. I love the kids, and
I love to go to my kids' school when they
were in elementary. Loved it, loved it, loved it. But
I don't want to stay there all day. I got
mad respect for teachers and administrators that do their job well.
But when you are so focused on the reason you
got into doing that in the first place, that in

(29:27):
the middle of Tommy pulling Susie's hair and Billy putting
his finger up his buttthole so he can sniff it again,
and Sammy taking a nap because poor kid, his parents
are getting divorced so he's having to go back to
his parents are fighting all night. I mean, that's rough.

(29:47):
And in the middle of that you go, but wait
a minute. Instead of letting the lowest common denominator drag
me down, Jace, you did we get it you? You
stayed on task all day. Come here, you're going down
the principal's office to get some love from Ms Patterson. Man,

(30:08):
what if everybody, that's my challenge to you right now,
including you Ramon, even Chad who stays on task, just
take a moment right now and stop and think about
what you do for a living and why you got
into that. And you know what, it might just be

(30:29):
because they were hiring it the plant. Nothing wrong with that, okay,
in that case, focus on something that you were once
idealistic about. Why did y'all so desperately want to have
kids because you wanted to raise a child, because you
want to inspire somebody, because you wanted to love them.

(30:51):
And we get so busy making the lunch and doing
the homework and running back and forth to practice and
activities and doctor visits and everything else, that we forget
why we did that in the first place. Right, Just
take a moment center yourself and say, you know what,
you're right, Why did you get married in the first

(31:14):
place so you'd have somebody to bitch Yet they didn't
take the trash out, no, so you'd have somebody you
could complain they snore so loud. They don't snore on purpose? Please,
you think they're proud of that? I got it, you
didn't sleep well. You think they got into snoring because
they had nothing better to do. Did you get married

(31:36):
so you could tell a woman that she needs to
lose some weight and every time she tries to enjoy
a little bluebell ice cream, you'd have somebody.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
To go Huh?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
I wanted to value? Is that why you got married? Really?
Did you get married so you'd have somebody you could
nag into mowing the grass when they're trying to watch
the damn game? That doesn't come from a dark plass.
I don't know the grass. I just see my friends
have to go through that. Did you get married so
you'd have a man that you could tell doesn't make

(32:06):
enough money? Did you get married, fellas, so you'd have
somebody that you could bitch doesn't clean the house as
well as you like, or doesn't cook as well as
your mind? Is that why you got married? Really? You
got married to have somebody to smother with love? You

(32:29):
got married because in a world full of hate and
vengeance and jealousy and me you got married to have
somebody that would know they are loved. That's why you
got married, and you want to be reminded of that.
I get emails every day from people who've lost their
spouse and I did give anything to have them back.

(32:54):
So that's your challenge today. You can take an hour
off of the anxiety over Tuesday's election. It won't kill you.
You could take an hour off and call your husband
or your wife and tell them how much you love them,
and you know you remember how much you love them,
or your kid. We're gonna get miss Patterson on the
love on her because that's an inspiration. I mean, I

(33:18):
can't even begin. It moves me, It moves me. Did
these people have remembered why they got into education? Hey, Quinn, Andrew, Jennifer, Shawn, Jeremy,
I'm sorry you all have been waiting a long time.
I'll get you in just a moment. Please hang out, please,
