Speaker 2 (01:57):
Morning, good morning, wake un speak goddamn. Oh yes, and
good morning to you. I just found out this morning, Ramon.
(02:20):
I don't know if you know this a groundbreaking discovery
was revealed today. Chad is no longer doing his morning workout.
He has moved everything to the afternoon. And I said,
what you've done this your entire life, and he said, yeah,
(02:41):
I'm focused on sleep. See, Chad is like a human
uh lab rat on his own body. He's always working
on his his health and improvement and you know, tweaking
his creatine level and tweaking how much of this he
does and how much of that he's He's like a
(03:01):
living Peter Attia experiment. And uh so, I guess he
decided that the thing that he most needs. He used
to drink green tea every morning. And because he doesn't
doesn't use any he doesn't do anything, doesn't have any
vices as you would say, But he was drinking green
(03:22):
tea and he decided His doctor told him, you know,
at this rate, you're you're a candidate for what's some stone,
kidney stones, and so he just from you know, green
tea was his was his you know enjoyment. Boom, No
more green tea ever ever again, not a little bit,
(03:44):
not occasionally, not fall off the wagon, have some green
tea because you're feeling wild and crazy. Nope, no more
green tea. That's it, and that's all. That is it,
and that is all all right, fellas, I'm asking for
a pass from all the men in the group, especially
the younger men. The older men will just roll their
(04:04):
eyes and understand. But for you, younger fellas, I'm asking
for a pass. I'm laying myself at your mercy. I
want you to think before you before you react and
ridicule me.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
So I.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Don't think I'm going to increase my esteem amongst the men,
especially the young men, out of this. So let me
say that, and I'm still doing it, okay. So just
just so you know, this is kind of like, you know,
for you, you and your buddies. You know, maybe your
high school running buddy and y'all go out and get
(04:42):
in trouble together, or maybe y'all worked in the hay
fields in the summer like Charlie Robinson, or maybe you
went into service with the fellow and you still keep
up with him to this day and you don't even
tear it up anymore. But when he comes over, your
wife would really prefer he not even come over, because
that's gonna be you know, kind of one of those
deals and you know that that's your buddy. But no
(05:06):
matter what, no matter how close you are with your
with your male friend, and you bonded and y'all are
there for each other and you'd give each other a
kidney and and you know, it's like that scene in
is it Moondock Saints or where he says, you know,
we're going over there, we're gonna do this, We're gonna
do this, We're gonna do this, and he says, who's
call we use it the town, our town of the town,
(05:26):
the town. Yeah. Great, great scene. So when that guy
meets the girl and he's like, hey, man, buddy, I
gotta tell you this is the one. What are you okay? Yeah? Yeah,
I can't. We can't go for our usual Friday night drinks.
I'm taking to the movies. What this is the one? Right?
And then it gets more and more and more serious,
(05:47):
and he's getting more and his testosterone levels are dropping
and they're buying thread count sheets together and all that,
and then they you know, he proposes, and they and
you're you're even okay with the big over the top
of l avert proposal, but then you get the photos
and he has taken those photos that the girls have
all conspired between her and the wedding photographer who's nothing
(06:08):
but trouble, and her mother, and they've got you out
there just absolutely making a fool of yourself and these
lovey dovey poses, so that when you get old and fat,
they still got that picture of you and her holing
and you're looking up at her and he's cupe it
all over and you go, oh, all right, you know
he's in love. You got to cut him some slack,
(06:30):
So that slack you cut that guy. That's kind of
where I am on this, and here's here's what it is. Yeah, no, no,
everybody did that? Did you do that? You took those photos?
Oh lord? Oh lord? Yeah, I guess, I guess every fella.
You know, you get sucked into doing those sorts of
(06:53):
things and you know it's not the right thing to do.
You know you're gonna get ribbed by all your buddy
but at that point, you're trying so hard to please.
Every guy did it? You're trying so hard to please.
That's when we fellas get in. The most trouble is
(07:14):
we're thinking, well, it can't be that big a deal.
You know, they want to take photos out in the
middle of the blue bonds and I'm dressed up and
this and this and this, and they've had me book
off six hours to take photos. What in the world
is going? Oh my goodness. And later your kids see
those photos when you're you know, forties and fifties, and
(07:35):
they can't believe that dad agreed to do this. But
you did. You did because something about us, God wired
us to reproduce. To mate. We've mate for life, the
whole deal. And this is the one. And you know
you've seen you've seen a bucking rut. You've seen animals
(07:55):
in the wild, they'll kind of lose their edge when
they're you go a little soft, you know, you go
a little soft in the middle, You stop stop being
quite so tough, you walk away from the fight. So
I have to do something that for the ladies that
will that will cause a revocation of my man cards.
(08:17):
So I've warned you, and I'll tell you what it is.
Coming up about it sometimes this is I need your help.
I can't tell you what it is. You can never
ask me about it. Later, and we're gonna hurt some people.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
What's we're gonna tell.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Me Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
It was the third of September.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That day, all all remember.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Your time abother day. My dad I never got a
chance to see, never heard nothing but bad things about him,
depending on you.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Ah, yes, the third of September. They usually don't point
it out, but there's a show within a show, and
those people with ears popped will catch the show within
a show, and nobody else needs to be bothered. But
that was pretty obvious. So for those of you who
(09:27):
didn't get it, now you do. But I figured most
people would have caught that it is, in fact the
third of September, and that song airs on this show
every year on the third of September. Originally written by
the Undisputed Truth in nineteen seventy two, wasn't a hit
for them, but it was a hit of course later
(09:49):
that year, in fact, a Grammy winner for the Temptations.
Before I tell you the story about why my man
card will be revoked to the extent that some of
you will turn off the show on that subject, and
that's that's fine. I understand that we're getting it clear
up front. You know, dem I turned it off today, Okay.
(10:10):
I noticed I noticed that the listenership went down. Please
come back tomorrow. It's important that every single person be
happy at every single moment. You won't need to do
that because we cleared the ground, cleared the air ahead
of time. But before I do that, I tell you
I went to the Astros game last night with doctor
Guy Lewis, or Mojo as he's known, and his son,
(10:32):
doctor Teddy Lewis, who is the newest dentist Ortho Cosmetic
Dentist to join his practice. And I was given the
seat of honor at the game, Yes, the seat of
honor of the seat where my friend Jimmy Barrett's at
where he almost gave his life for Primary. You know,
there are lesser things. There are greater things to give
(10:54):
your life for. No greater love hath any man than
it laid down his life for his friend. But Prime
rib is somewhere on that list, a lower ranking, but
it's somewhere, and so yes, so there we went. We
went to the game, and I asked his son Teddy
to show exactly what Jimmy had eaten, and he showed me.
(11:17):
And I'm gonna tell you something, those were good choices.
There was there's a there was a nice uh smorgasbord
laid out for all to enjoy in the in the
Inspiraitor suite, and I chose wisely. I had to brought worst,
and I had to brought worst in a in a
hot dog bun. I don't eat much bread anymore. I
(11:37):
don't I'm not exclusively unbreaded, but I don't eat hardly anymore.
So this was a bit of a treat. And I
will tell you, brought worst was very good. It was
brought worst. It had a little cheese is uh you
know ProCheck does that as well. I had little cheeses
down in there. Might be from Labucherie, I don't know.
But it was really really good. And it was so
good that I ended up having another one. Yeah, I did.
(12:02):
It was delicious. And so we re enacted the whole thing. Uh,
Doctor guy Lewis h went through exactly how he had
done and in the first pump and the second pump,
and the third and then the third pump when he really,
you know, kind of like a sumo wrestler or Correa
rup before he put the sand on his hands and
he got okay, we've had two pumps and we got
two strikes. Now we got to swing. We got we
(12:23):
gotta make contact here or foul something off, because Jimmy
starting to get red and he he locked down and
crossed his fingers and interlocked him and home and there
it came shooting out. So I said, did anybody see
any of this happening? And so he pointed at a
seat about five five seats over to the to the right,
there's a there's a walkway in between, and he said, well,
the guy down there, he kind of leaned forward to
(12:46):
look see down the aisle and look and see what
was going on, and he kind of gave a disapproving
what are y'all doing under you homos or something? And
he kind of real confused, like he wanted me to
scream out, I just dislodged the food using the him lick.
He'll most died and the kjr H morning news has
to go on. He wanted me to do that. I
could tell, but I didn't. I played it cool. I
(13:07):
just act like I weh, hey, how you doing? See
I don't remember you, but go see it. And so
we redacted the whole thing. It all played out very well.
And he said, I called Jimmy after you did that,
and I said, hey, man, uh, I got patience coming
in all day, all my nursing staff. Everybody listens to
Michael and they're talking about what happened and are you
okay with that? And Jimmy said, no, no, he called.
(13:29):
He called to confirm before he did it, told me
what he was going to do.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
He he made sure I approved of it, and he
did and he I thought he was very classy about
the way he did it. He goes, okay, yeah, I
just want to make sure. I think Mojo did want
to be caught up in the blame of you know,
how this happened. He wasn't even what told me. So anyway,
Astros played terribly. I'm convinced from Beart did what he
did on purpose. The fastball on the on the curveball pitch.
(13:56):
I think I think this was at Salazar. I think
he's taking the high road because but I've heard stories
that from Beert has a little bit of a you know,
can be a little petulant boy. He proved it there,
all right. So here's the deal. We had a dinner
party the other night and one of the people we invited,
(14:17):
my wife put this together and I said, dinner party
is a little supper. That's it. We had supper together
about ten people at our house. So we are having
dinner and I'm down at the end talking to Anew Davis.
So she was a she's a concierge doctor who was
(14:38):
referred very highly to me by several folks. Because having
moved my dad to Houston, I needed an endocrinologist, which
is somebody that focuses on the pancreas, because that's what
diabetes is, pancreas failure. And I also needed a general
physician because doctor Marty Rutledge, who was my my doctor
(15:01):
growing up, we have pediatricians at Orange. We weren't that fancy.
He just had a doctor. He was everybody's doctor and
he did a lot of stuff. And he he took
over for doctor Raleigh Allen, who was a doctor who
delivered me when I was I don't know, six seven eight,
and then he was my doctor all with it. He
was been my dad's doctor. I mean technically is half
still his doctor. So I needed to get him a
(15:23):
new doctor. And when we brought him over here, I
needed a new diabetes doctor because all his doctors were
in Beaumont. Now I had him on speed dial. They've
all been very good to him and to me. You know,
we talk after all of his his visits, and we
talked through his course of treatment, and you know, they
they sit and give him extra time and all of that.
(15:44):
Everything is good. But I needed something here that we
could get him in and out and all that. So
this on knew A n U Davis was highly recommended,
but I hadn't met her face to face. My wife had.
She meets her over for the appointments with my dad.
She comes to his old folks on it and actually
(16:05):
sees him there. So in the course of dinner, a
question arose, you want to smit the f Michael Berry?
Just say the word and I'll throw a lasshole around
the plug down. I had several people email me yesterday
and say, hey, I know you're not a big shopper.
In all you said, you don't do the Amazon Prime thing,
(16:29):
but variations on Walmart's got this deal. Walmart's got a
special deals. It's the equivalent, I guess, to the Walmart
Prime Day. Do you want it's that? Do you know?
People live for that day, They plan their schedules, stay
home from work or go to work closed door and
just shop all day? Want to take a day off
(16:49):
for that? Do you shop at Walmart? You do? You
go there? You go to Walmart? Oh, okay, well that's
one thing. Then you ought to go to Ace Hardware.
So I visited the Ace Hardware on don't get me
to line? Is that five twenty nine. It's Northwest Jersey
(17:12):
Village and man, that's in operation. I told him at
the end of it, I was there for an hour.
At the end, he said, well, what do you think?
I said, I think I don't want to be in
your business. He said, ry is now? I said, you
got thirty nine different codes for items. You got a
they got a post office inside there. They got a
post office inside the Ace Hardware. They got a gardening section.
(17:35):
They got hardware. They've got lawnmowers, power tools, they've got
uh uh oh, they have a you know, women love
those little you know, pot pourri smelling gifts, little gifts,
see kind of thing. They got a whole gift section.
His wife runs. They got gourmet coffees. They got gourmet
(17:57):
uh they got embroidering. We go into and there's a
woman what not monogramming, Maybe it's monogramming. They've got they
sell Yeti's and all that sort of stuff, and you
can get King of Dan or whatever put on there.
So there's a woman back there doing all that they've got.
I'm not sure's anything they don't have. I really don't.
(18:17):
They've got everything you would which to me would be complicated.
But what's nice? And I guess you can't. I guess
you can't say. You know when you say ACE is
the place with the healthful hardware band, what you're saying is, Hey,
you ever been to that big box store and you
got the woman over there that looks like she's gonna
pull so she's gonna snatch somebody's wig in any minute,
and she don't want to help you. And he'd excuse me,
(18:39):
what can you tell me where I can find a
fastener about this size? Yay big? And she's like, I
don't work. That's a plumbing And then you got to
go find somebody in plumbing and repeat the whole process.
And the best you can get is that probably down there.
If you read those signs, all the rows, each of
the rose has a nine on it. But the Ace folks,
(19:03):
because they're all family, they're like, yes, well, let me
take you to to to to. You go all the
way down and they take you to the item and
they lock you down on it. Oh yeah, that's nice,
that's real nice. Anyway, that's not Walmart. Yesterday was the
first day. Here's me say this of the Walmart flash
deals or Walmart flash deals. You know, even Walmart's one
(19:28):
day sale has kind of a Walmart feel to it.
We're not Amazon Prime. We don't have Amazon Prime. We've
got a Walmart Flash Deal. It's real cheap and you
might get mugged. But here it is. We once bought
all American, but now it's just cheap Chinese stuff. Come
and get it. Besides, if you film, you can post
(19:51):
it and it'll probably go viral. I don't care how
much money I'm gonna say it. I'm past that. If
I got to go to Walmart to get it, I'm
not buying it. I don't need that much stuff. If
I can't pay a little more and get it at
ACE or support one of my individual sponsors, not gonna
do it. Well. It appears that Walmart is very well
(20:13):
aware that nobody wants to shop inside their store. They
see the videos that go viral too, the wig snatchings.
You know the whole deal. They realize that no matter
how much they slash the prices, even if they give
it away free, and perhaps especially if they give it
away free, you don't want to go in there because well,
(20:34):
there's a number of reasons. The employees are one, they
might be involved in the whigs snatching, and the stores
are tired. But most of all, it's the other Walmart shoppers.
I say, shoppers, shoplifters. You don't want to be around it.
You don't want to look if you've never been around
that many felons, I better not say anyway, So they
(20:54):
can't get people to come in because for all the
prices they slash, the customers get slashed too. So they
want you to skip the crime and just shop online.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
September means flash deals at Walmart for the first time ever.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
We're begging you to shop online.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well, we're slashing prices, but we don't want to slash
hard customers.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, give me that ipay cool my dead body. Oh hell,
I don't be stam. Yeah that's right. Can't believe you
felt it with your nanitude in body. Fact, skip the
crime and shop online.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's the big Walmart online sales same sheep, shinyes, crap
with aut the wick snatches, knock out gay Baltimore game bag,
or flat out getting.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Mud she caught at the walbat Welcome.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Look, we realize you voted for Trump and don't want
to step foot in our stores.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
But the same reason you avoid carnival cruises and chuck
e cheese shoving at Walmart.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
So bypass the tight short to Shanda's and I'm at
n Fetami Marlowe.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I know you'll got some more of that red bolt
up and ack'm on, I need to limit that more up.
I need the same bam to get it. Always go.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
For a limited time only, dog owners can take advantage
of our Old Roy dog food special named after our founder,
Sam Walton's favorite good boy.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Roy Bro.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We guarantee a little bit of Old Roy and every
day to anyone with a right mind. Shop online and
skip the cry at Walmart dot com.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Okay, who wrote the line? Because you were watching that
develop organically, I can't You can't believe you could fill
that with your ninety two percent body fat. That is
the least ghetto line ever. We got one member of
the team that lives in what is what does Jim
live it's not New Kny. It's it's north the Huffman Shenandoah,
(22:44):
one of those the least, the least ghetto place in
the region. And then Kunda lives in Katie, and I
think he's in one of the little pockets where they're
hiding out. I don't see any black folk over here.
Do you know we can stay, we can renew.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
I can't believe you could feel that with your ninety
two percent body fat. That is literally the least ghetto
thing ever. Percent body fat is the most white inner
loop granola eating comment ever. Oh that's funny, instead of
with your fat ass, with your rolls, with your pills
(23:22):
Berry dough boy self, we.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Got I can't. I can't believe you could feel that
with your ninety two percent body fat. How would you
like to be a Walmart senior executive? All right, guys,
we're losing ground to Amazon. And here's the problem. Here's
(23:44):
what we have to lop off the top. We've got
rent or cost of facilities, We've got electric, we got
all this, we got all this, we got all this,
we got all this, we got all this, and they
don't have any of that. And it's real problematic. And
you got to come in the store. Well, yeah, but
people like to come in this store. It's not nineteen
seventy four in Orange, Texas anymore. This isn't Gibson's. We
(24:06):
don't go in and go wow, they got everything. They
got CB radios. This isn't radio shack. People don't do
that anymore. Well, what do we do? I guess we'll
have to do it online because we got all these stores.
Can you imagine? Can you imagine every morning waking up
and getting the police reports from your stores, because that happens.
If you're an executive there, that happened. You have to
(24:30):
wake up every day and go, oh, only eight muggings
yesterday inside the store, six of them from employees. Oh
I forgot to tell my story. Okay, I promise I
will tell it. I apologize.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Lifeless eyes, black eyes like a dolls.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'm a menopause. For those interested, where are my little youngies?
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Right?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
The little really young? The twenty two is where are
you there? They are? Menopause is when mother Nature tells
you that your leaves are brown. She's very clear, She's like,
you don't have to die, but we don't need you.
You can flourish, you can wither. It's all on you.
(25:20):
No one's gonna water you on the regular. That's what
I'm trying to say. I called my friend the other
day because she knew I was getting ready for this,
and she's like, I want you to go to my stylust.
I want you to be like, stop traffic gorgeous for this.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
It's showtime. And I was like, Okay, you.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Know, I'm fifty one years old. I'm not stopping traffic
unless I throw myself in front of a buck.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I mean, it's just it's it's just real. It's not
I'm not stopping traffic fifty one. I mean I might
slow down a walker, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So we have this dinner party, and my obnoxious thing
you're welcome to think is abnox because it is is
I tell everybody where to sit. I separate husbands and
wives because otherwise you get this crutch of sitting next
to your spouse. So if you have a social anxiety,
don't come to dinner at my house. So I'll put
people caddy corner from each other, furthest distance, because that
(26:27):
forces you to meet new people and talk to new people.
And everybody here most of the people here were all
We're all new they didn't know each other. So, you know,
you learn interesting things when you have to make small
talk over dinner. So I put Unknown next to me
because I wanted to talk about my dad's care and
her background, and so she's his concierge doctor as his general.
(26:53):
But the reason we first started with her is she
came highly recommended from several other doctors that I fact
as an endocrinologist, which is a diabetes doctor, because the
pancres is everything in DIABETESA just it's in some level
of dysfunction, and my dad's is extreme dysfunction, which creates
(27:14):
a lot of problems. So one of the doctors said,
she's an indocrinologist, but before you go finding a GP,
you may want to talk to her about being your
your family doctor for him as well your general as well.
So we talked. My wife spent a lot of time
(27:35):
with her, and she came to see my dad and
I told you the story that she sat on the floor.
She literally sat down. Well they call it Chris Cross
apple sauce now, but she sat down no pun intended,
Indian style. She's Indian in front of him. Actually she's American,
(27:56):
but her parents are in there. She pulls his COMPRESSI
socks off and his feet swell. He's eighty five. You
know how it goes? Well, A diabetics toes. They're not
Uncle Jerry missing a toe and all that, but they're
not pretty. You get that. I forget what it's called
build up nail on top of nail on top of nail,
and so that's a constant treatment. But we're lucky. He's
(28:16):
got all ten of his toes and she's rubbing his foot.
Does this hurt? Does this hurting? I never seen anything
like that. So my wife is filming this and she's
sending it to me, and I'm thinking, this is the one.
This woman might not even go to medical school. But
she is on her butt on the floor rubbing my
dad's feet, going over because foot care is everything for diabetics.
(28:40):
It's because you don't get circulation down there and all that.
I said, this is it, and this is all. She
gives him her cell phone number, gives us her cell
phone number. I told you the story. The other day,
I meet her boyfriend, Pete Burner. I don't know why
I call him Pete West Maybe because it rhyme with
Pete Best, probably so because we're talking about classic and
(29:01):
he was saying, yeah, I feel like I know your
dad because I'm in his bionic sphere. The bionics sphere remone.
You wear a CGM to keep your blood sugar low,
but if you were diabetic, you'd wear a continuous glucose
monitor that would be a pump and when you ate,
it would shoot insulin down there. Well, it also monitors
your blood shirt because if the blood shirt goes low,
you can go comatose, you can go out. It's bad.
(29:21):
People die this way. It's very common, and so it
might be. You know, it's never going to happen at
a good time. So two o'clock in the morning, it
shoots it. Whoever's in your sphere. My wife, doctor Davis. Well,
because he's laying next to doctor Davis boo boo boop up,
Norman Berry's having him an incident. So he said, you know,
(29:42):
many is the night I'm gonna wake it to a
clock thinking to your dad, hoping he's going to be okay.
So anyway, we're talking about my dad and the whole thing.
She's turned out to be great, and that's when I
did the show on Colenzier's care some of if you
may have listened in on that. If you didn't, you
can go back and find it. And we're talking through
her practice. How she got into what she's doing. She
was on faculty at the medical school and then she
(30:04):
wanted to go into practice. But she has two daughters
and she wanted to practice where. Look, I don't care
how good a doctor you are. If you practice with
one of the big systems, you're going to see seventy
patients a day. And that's not a rewarding way to
practice medicine. But that's how the systems. You're now a
system employee, and you're a corporate employee. And I have
(30:26):
a lot of doctors at her friends, and I will
tell you that is the greatest lament. They love practicing law.
They feel like this isn't practicing law. This is a
cattle mill. They can't spend the time. They can't sit
down on their butt for an hour and rub their
patient's feet and see do you have any wounds, how
does it feel? What are you eating? How are your
mood swings? How is your rest? And this is a
(30:48):
comprehensive care. You're a healer that's why people got into
being a doctor in the first place. She sees between
four and six patients per day. It's however, many people
call her, but you keep your practice down, you pay
cash up front, doesn't cover it, but it's not that much.
Depending on the doctor. It's two to five thousand dollars
per year. I think hers is on the upper end,
(31:08):
may even be a little more because it's diabetes care
as well. But you think about this, you can change
your health plans. Well, you do you, you do you
and your budget, but I will tell you it's the
best money we've ever spent. And then she's available by
cell phone. She's available to make house calls. I mean,
it's people are kind of getting away from there's so
(31:28):
many things about how we became economies of scale because
that's what private equity want. And people are going back
to the ace hardware because they don't want the big
box store and every aspect of that, every aspect of
that life. So anyway, it turns out that while diabetes
care is a big part of what she does, hormones
and so we go through the different glands adrenal, thyroid, pancreas,
(31:51):
and we got into women's issues and I'm curious and
we start talking and she said, well, my actual expertise,
even more than diabetes, which I love to do, is menopause.
And it was like all the women at the table
are so I'm told. So my wife the next morning
(32:12):
ways up and she says, when you and I knew
were down there talking, did you notice that all the
ladies at the table perked up and leaned in when
you start talking about menopause? I said, when I told
you all to get out of my conversation because they
started asking questions. So my wife said, listen, women in
their fifties and beyond are very interested in our life
body changes. I said, I want to hear talk about
(32:33):
no women's hormones. She said, if I have to hear
you talk about testosterone one more time. And I know
you talk about it on there because people tell me
you do. You talk about ed and you got Mohiton
because she's good friends and Mowen talking about the crooked
Wieners and you're talking about testosterone level. And you think
we don't get tired of hearing that. You think we're
not tired of hearing that. Yeah, well, what about the
(32:56):
ladies they care about menopause. I said, keep, ain't a
tyson do that? Why do I have to do that?
So here I am out in the field, all dressed
up in a costume that matches, taking my photo, and
you're gonna get it. Inviting you to the wedding or
whatever it is next Friday morning, We're talking for an
(33:20):
entire hour about menopause. You're free to tune out.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Berry Show is on the air.

(01:48):
Good morning, Jason, Good morning, Texas, Good.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Morning, good morning, wake un speak goddamn. Oh yes, and
good morning to you. I just found out this morning, Ramon.
(02:20):
I don't know if you know this a groundbreaking discovery
was revealed today. Chad is no longer doing his morning workout.
He has moved everything to the afternoon. And I said,
what you've done this your entire life, and he said, yeah,
(02:41):
I'm focused on sleep. See, Chad is like a human
uh lab rat on his own body. He's always working
on his his health and improvement and you know, tweaking
his creatine level and tweaking how much of this he
does and how much of that he's He's like a
(03:01):
living Peter Attia experiment. And uh so, I guess he
decided that the thing that he most needs. He used
to drink green tea every morning. And because he doesn't
doesn't use any he doesn't do anything, doesn't have any
vices as you would say, But he was drinking green
(03:22):
tea and he decided His doctor told him, you know,
at this rate, you're you're a candidate for what's some stone,
kidney stones, and so he just from you know, green
tea was his was his you know enjoyment. Boom, No
more green tea ever ever again, not a little bit,
(03:44):
not occasionally, not fall off the wagon, have some green
tea because you're feeling wild and crazy. Nope, no more
green tea. That's it, and that's all. That is it,
and that is all all right, fellas, I'm asking for
a pass from all the men in the group, especially
the younger men. The older men will just roll their
(04:04):
eyes and understand. But for you, younger fellas, I'm asking
for a pass. I'm laying myself at your mercy. I
want you to think before you before you react and
ridicule me.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
So I.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Don't think I'm going to increase my esteem amongst the men,
especially the young men, out of this. So let me
say that, and I'm still doing it, okay. So just
just so you know, this is kind of like, you know,
for you, you and your buddies. You know, maybe your
high school running buddy and y'all go out and get
(04:42):
in trouble together, or maybe y'all worked in the hay
fields in the summer like Charlie Robinson, or maybe you
went into service with the fellow and you still keep
up with him to this day and you don't even
tear it up anymore. But when he comes over, your
wife would really prefer he not even come over, because
that's gonna be you know, kind of one of those
deals and you know that that's your buddy. But no
(05:06):
matter what, no matter how close you are with your
with your male friend, and you bonded and y'all are
there for each other and you'd give each other a
kidney and and you know, it's like that scene in
is it Moondock Saints or where he says, you know,
we're going over there, we're gonna do this, We're gonna
do this, We're gonna do this, and he says, who's
call we use it the town, our town of the town,
(05:26):
the town. Yeah. Great, great scene. So when that guy
meets the girl and he's like, hey, man, buddy, I
gotta tell you this is the one. What are you okay? Yeah? Yeah,
I can't. We can't go for our usual Friday night drinks.
I'm taking to the movies. What this is the one? Right?
And then it gets more and more and more serious,
(05:47):
and he's getting more and his testosterone levels are dropping
and they're buying thread count sheets together and all that,
and then they you know, he proposes, and they and
you're you're even okay with the big over the top
of l avert proposal, but then you get the photos
and he has taken those photos that the girls have
all conspired between her and the wedding photographer who's nothing
(06:08):
but trouble, and her mother, and they've got you out
there just absolutely making a fool of yourself and these
lovey dovey poses, so that when you get old and fat,
they still got that picture of you and her holing
and you're looking up at her and he's cupe it
all over and you go, oh, all right, you know
he's in love. You got to cut him some slack,
(06:30):
So that slack you cut that guy. That's kind of
where I am on this, and here's here's what it is. Yeah, no, no,
everybody did that? Did you do that? You took those photos?
Oh lord? Oh lord? Yeah, I guess, I guess every fella.
You know, you get sucked into doing those sorts of
(06:53):
things and you know it's not the right thing to do.
You know you're gonna get ribbed by all your buddy
but at that point, you're trying so hard to please.
Every guy did it? You're trying so hard to please.
That's when we fellas get in. The most trouble is
(07:14):
we're thinking, well, it can't be that big a deal.
You know, they want to take photos out in the
middle of the blue bonds and I'm dressed up and
this and this and this, and they've had me book
off six hours to take photos. What in the world
is going? Oh my goodness. And later your kids see
those photos when you're you know, forties and fifties, and
(07:35):
they can't believe that dad agreed to do this. But
you did. You did because something about us, God wired
us to reproduce. To mate. We've mate for life, the
whole deal. And this is the one. And you know
you've seen you've seen a bucking rut. You've seen animals
(07:55):
in the wild, they'll kind of lose their edge when
they're you go a little soft, you know, you go
a little soft in the middle, You stop stop being
quite so tough, you walk away from the fight. So
I have to do something that for the ladies that
will that will cause a revocation of my man cards.
(08:17):
So I've warned you, and I'll tell you what it is.
Coming up about it sometimes this is I need your help.
I can't tell you what it is. You can never
ask me about it. Later, and we're gonna hurt some people.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
What's we're gonna tell.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Me Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
It was the third of September.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That day, all all remember.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Your time abother day. My dad I never got a
chance to see, never heard nothing but bad things about him,
depending on you.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Ah, yes, the third of September. They usually don't point
it out, but there's a show within a show, and
those people with ears popped will catch the show within
a show, and nobody else needs to be bothered. But
that was pretty obvious. So for those of you who
(09:27):
didn't get it, now you do. But I figured most
people would have caught that it is, in fact the
third of September, and that song airs on this show
every year on the third of September. Originally written by
the Undisputed Truth in nineteen seventy two, wasn't a hit
for them, but it was a hit of course later
(09:49):
that year, in fact, a Grammy winner for the Temptations.
Before I tell you the story about why my man
card will be revoked to the extent that some of
you will turn off the show on that subject, and
that's that's fine. I understand that we're getting it clear
up front. You know, dem I turned it off today, Okay.
(10:10):
I noticed I noticed that the listenership went down. Please
come back tomorrow. It's important that every single person be
happy at every single moment. You won't need to do
that because we cleared the ground, cleared the air ahead
of time. But before I do that, I tell you
I went to the Astros game last night with doctor
Guy Lewis, or Mojo as he's known, and his son,
(10:32):
doctor Teddy Lewis, who is the newest dentist Ortho Cosmetic
Dentist to join his practice. And I was given the
seat of honor at the game, Yes, the seat of
honor of the seat where my friend Jimmy Barrett's at
where he almost gave his life for Primary. You know,
there are lesser things. There are greater things to give
(10:54):
your life for. No greater love hath any man than
it laid down his life for his friend. But Prime
rib is somewhere on that list, a lower ranking, but
it's somewhere, and so yes, so there we went. We
went to the game, and I asked his son Teddy
to show exactly what Jimmy had eaten, and he showed me.
(11:17):
And I'm gonna tell you something, those were good choices.
There was there's a there was a nice uh smorgasbord
laid out for all to enjoy in the in the
Inspiraitor suite, and I chose wisely. I had to brought worst,
and I had to brought worst in a in a
hot dog bun. I don't eat much bread anymore. I
(11:37):
don't I'm not exclusively unbreaded, but I don't eat hardly anymore.
So this was a bit of a treat. And I
will tell you, brought worst was very good. It was
brought worst. It had a little cheese is uh you
know ProCheck does that as well. I had little cheeses
down in there. Might be from Labucherie, I don't know.
But it was really really good. And it was so
good that I ended up having another one. Yeah, I did.
(12:02):
It was delicious. And so we re enacted the whole thing. Uh,
Doctor guy Lewis h went through exactly how he had
done and in the first pump and the second pump,
and the third and then the third pump when he really,
you know, kind of like a sumo wrestler or Correa
rup before he put the sand on his hands and
he got okay, we've had two pumps and we got
two strikes. Now we got to swing. We got we
(12:23):
gotta make contact here or foul something off, because Jimmy
starting to get red and he he locked down and
crossed his fingers and interlocked him and home and there
it came shooting out. So I said, did anybody see
any of this happening? And so he pointed at a
seat about five five seats over to the to the right,
there's a there's a walkway in between, and he said, well,
the guy down there, he kind of leaned forward to
(12:46):
look see down the aisle and look and see what
was going on, and he kind of gave a disapproving
what are y'all doing under you homos or something? And
he kind of real confused, like he wanted me to
scream out, I just dislodged the food using the him lick.
He'll most died and the kjr H morning news has
to go on. He wanted me to do that. I
could tell, but I didn't. I played it cool. I
(13:07):
just act like I weh, hey, how you doing? See
I don't remember you, but go see it. And so
we redacted the whole thing. It all played out very well.
And he said, I called Jimmy after you did that,
and I said, hey, man, uh, I got patience coming
in all day, all my nursing staff. Everybody listens to
Michael and they're talking about what happened and are you
okay with that? And Jimmy said, no, no, he called.
(13:29):
He called to confirm before he did it, told me
what he was going to do.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
He he made sure I approved of it, and he
did and he I thought he was very classy about
the way he did it. He goes, okay, yeah, I
just want to make sure. I think Mojo did want
to be caught up in the blame of you know,
how this happened. He wasn't even what told me. So anyway,
Astros played terribly. I'm convinced from Beart did what he
did on purpose. The fastball on the on the curveball pitch.
(13:56):
I think I think this was at Salazar. I think
he's taking the high road because but I've heard stories
that from Beert has a little bit of a you know,
can be a little petulant boy. He proved it there,
all right. So here's the deal. We had a dinner
party the other night and one of the people we invited,
(14:17):
my wife put this together and I said, dinner party
is a little supper. That's it. We had supper together
about ten people at our house. So we are having
dinner and I'm down at the end talking to Anew Davis.
So she was a she's a concierge doctor who was
(14:38):
referred very highly to me by several folks. Because having
moved my dad to Houston, I needed an endocrinologist, which
is somebody that focuses on the pancreas, because that's what
diabetes is, pancreas failure. And I also needed a general
physician because doctor Marty Rutledge, who was my my doctor
(15:01):
growing up, we have pediatricians at Orange. We weren't that fancy.
He just had a doctor. He was everybody's doctor and
he did a lot of stuff. And he he took
over for doctor Raleigh Allen, who was a doctor who
delivered me when I was I don't know, six seven eight,
and then he was my doctor all with it. He
was been my dad's doctor. I mean technically is half
still his doctor. So I needed to get him a
(15:23):
new doctor. And when we brought him over here, I
needed a new diabetes doctor because all his doctors were
in Beaumont. Now I had him on speed dial. They've
all been very good to him and to me. You know,
we talk after all of his his visits, and we
talked through his course of treatment, and you know, they
they sit and give him extra time and all of that.
(15:44):
Everything is good. But I needed something here that we
could get him in and out and all that. So
this on knew A n U Davis was highly recommended,
but I hadn't met her face to face. My wife had.
She meets her over for the appointments with my dad.
She comes to his old folks on it and actually
(16:05):
sees him there. So in the course of dinner, a
question arose, you want to smit the f Michael Berry?
Just say the word and I'll throw a lasshole around
the plug down. I had several people email me yesterday
and say, hey, I know you're not a big shopper.
In all you said, you don't do the Amazon Prime thing,
(16:29):
but variations on Walmart's got this deal. Walmart's got a
special deals. It's the equivalent, I guess, to the Walmart
Prime Day. Do you want it's that? Do you know?
People live for that day, They plan their schedules, stay
home from work or go to work closed door and
just shop all day? Want to take a day off
(16:49):
for that? Do you shop at Walmart? You do? You
go there? You go to Walmart? Oh, okay, well that's
one thing. Then you ought to go to Ace Hardware.
So I visited the Ace Hardware on don't get me
to line? Is that five twenty nine. It's Northwest Jersey
(17:12):
Village and man, that's in operation. I told him at
the end of it, I was there for an hour.
At the end, he said, well, what do you think?
I said, I think I don't want to be in
your business. He said, ry is now? I said, you
got thirty nine different codes for items. You got a
they got a post office inside there. They got a
post office inside the Ace Hardware. They got a gardening section.
(17:35):
They got hardware. They've got lawnmowers, power tools, they've got
uh uh oh, they have a you know, women love
those little you know, pot pourri smelling gifts, little gifts,
see kind of thing. They got a whole gift section.
His wife runs. They got gourmet coffees. They got gourmet
(17:57):
uh they got embroidering. We go into and there's a
woman what not monogramming, Maybe it's monogramming. They've got they
sell Yeti's and all that sort of stuff, and you
can get King of Dan or whatever put on there.
So there's a woman back there doing all that they've got.
I'm not sure's anything they don't have. I really don't.
(18:17):
They've got everything you would which to me would be complicated.
But what's nice? And I guess you can't. I guess
you can't say. You know when you say ACE is
the place with the healthful hardware band, what you're saying is, Hey,
you ever been to that big box store and you
got the woman over there that looks like she's gonna
pull so she's gonna snatch somebody's wig in any minute,
and she don't want to help you. And he'd excuse me,
(18:39):
what can you tell me where I can find a
fastener about this size? Yay big? And she's like, I
don't work. That's a plumbing And then you got to
go find somebody in plumbing and repeat the whole process.
And the best you can get is that probably down there.
If you read those signs, all the rows, each of
the rose has a nine on it. But the Ace folks,
(19:03):
because they're all family, they're like, yes, well, let me
take you to to to to. You go all the
way down and they take you to the item and
they lock you down on it. Oh yeah, that's nice,
that's real nice. Anyway, that's not Walmart. Yesterday was the
first day. Here's me say this of the Walmart flash
deals or Walmart flash deals. You know, even Walmart's one
(19:28):
day sale has kind of a Walmart feel to it.
We're not Amazon Prime. We don't have Amazon Prime. We've
got a Walmart Flash Deal. It's real cheap and you
might get mugged. But here it is. We once bought
all American, but now it's just cheap Chinese stuff. Come
and get it. Besides, if you film, you can post
(19:51):
it and it'll probably go viral. I don't care how
much money I'm gonna say it. I'm past that. If
I got to go to Walmart to get it, I'm
not buying it. I don't need that much stuff. If
I can't pay a little more and get it at
ACE or support one of my individual sponsors, not gonna
do it. Well. It appears that Walmart is very well
(20:13):
aware that nobody wants to shop inside their store. They
see the videos that go viral too, the wig snatchings.
You know the whole deal. They realize that no matter
how much they slash the prices, even if they give
it away free, and perhaps especially if they give it
away free, you don't want to go in there because well,
(20:34):
there's a number of reasons. The employees are one, they
might be involved in the whigs snatching, and the stores
are tired. But most of all, it's the other Walmart shoppers.
I say, shoppers, shoplifters. You don't want to be around it.
You don't want to look if you've never been around
that many felons, I better not say anyway, So they
(20:54):
can't get people to come in because for all the
prices they slash, the customers get slashed too. So they
want you to skip the crime and just shop online.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
September means flash deals at Walmart for the first time ever.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
We're begging you to shop online.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well, we're slashing prices, but we don't want to slash
hard customers.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, give me that ipay cool my dead body. Oh hell,
I don't be stam. Yeah that's right. Can't believe you
felt it with your nanitude in body. Fact, skip the
crime and shop online.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's the big Walmart online sales same sheep, shinyes, crap
with aut the wick snatches, knock out gay Baltimore game bag,
or flat out getting.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Mud she caught at the walbat Welcome.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Look, we realize you voted for Trump and don't want
to step foot in our stores.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
But the same reason you avoid carnival cruises and chuck
e cheese shoving at Walmart.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
So bypass the tight short to Shanda's and I'm at
n Fetami Marlowe.
Speaker 2 (21:54):

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Okay, who wrote the line? Because you were watching that
develop organically, I can't You can't believe you could fill
that with your ninety two percent body fat. That is
the least ghetto line ever. We got one member of
the team that lives in what is what does Jim
live it's not New Kny. It's it's north the Huffman Shenandoah,
(22:44):
one of those the least, the least ghetto place in
the region. And then Kunda lives in Katie, and I
think he's in one of the little pockets where they're
hiding out. I don't see any black folk over here.
Do you know we can stay, we can renew.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
I can't believe you could feel that with your ninety
two percent body fat. That is literally the least ghetto
thing ever. Percent body fat is the most white inner
loop granola eating comment ever. Oh that's funny, instead of
with your fat ass, with your rolls, with your pills
(23:22):
Berry dough boy self, we.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Got I can't. I can't believe you could feel that
with your ninety two percent body fat. How would you
like to be a Walmart senior executive? All right, guys,
we're losing ground to Amazon. And here's the problem. Here's
(23:44):
what we have to lop off the top. We've got
rent or cost of facilities, We've got electric, we got
all this, we got all this, we got all this,
we got all this, we got all this, and they
don't have any of that. And it's real problematic. And
you got to come in the store. Well, yeah, but
people like to come in this store. It's not nineteen
seventy four in Orange, Texas anymore. This isn't Gibson's. We
(24:06):
don't go in and go wow, they got everything. They
got CB radios. This isn't radio shack. People don't do
that anymore. Well, what do we do? I guess we'll
have to do it online because we got all these stores.
Can you imagine? Can you imagine every morning waking up
and getting the police reports from your stores, because that happens.
If you're an executive there, that happened. You have to
(24:30):
wake up every day and go, oh, only eight muggings
yesterday inside the store, six of them from employees. Oh
I forgot to tell my story. Okay, I promise I
will tell it. I apologize.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Lifeless eyes, black eyes like a dolls.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'm a menopause. For those interested, where are my little youngies?
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Right?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
The little really young? The twenty two is where are
you there? They are? Menopause is when mother Nature tells
you that your leaves are brown. She's very clear, She's like,
you don't have to die, but we don't need you.
You can flourish, you can wither. It's all on you.
(25:20):
No one's gonna water you on the regular. That's what
I'm trying to say. I called my friend the other
day because she knew I was getting ready for this,
and she's like, I want you to go to my stylust.
I want you to be like, stop traffic gorgeous for this.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
It's showtime. And I was like, Okay, you.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Know, I'm fifty one years old. I'm not stopping traffic
unless I throw myself in front of a buck.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I mean, it's just it's it's just real. It's not
I'm not stopping traffic fifty one. I mean I might
slow down a walker, all right.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So we have this dinner party, and my obnoxious thing
you're welcome to think is abnox because it is is
I tell everybody where to sit. I separate husbands and
wives because otherwise you get this crutch of sitting next
to your spouse. So if you have a social anxiety,
don't come to dinner at my house. So I'll put
people caddy corner from each other, furthest distance, because that
(26:27):
forces you to meet new people and talk to new people.
And everybody here most of the people here were all
We're all new they didn't know each other. So, you know,
you learn interesting things when you have to make small
talk over dinner. So I put Unknown next to me
because I wanted to talk about my dad's care and
her background, and so she's his concierge doctor as his general.
(26:53):
But the reason we first started with her is she
came highly recommended from several other doctors that I fact
as an endocrinologist, which is a diabetes doctor, because the
pancres is everything in DIABETESA just it's in some level
of dysfunction, and my dad's is extreme dysfunction, which creates
(27:14):
a lot of problems. So one of the doctors said,
she's an indocrinologist, but before you go finding a GP,
you may want to talk to her about being your
your family doctor for him as well your general as well.
So we talked. My wife spent a lot of time
(27:35):
with her, and she came to see my dad and
I told you the story that she sat on the floor.
She literally sat down. Well they call it Chris Cross
apple sauce now, but she sat down no pun intended,
Indian style. She's Indian in front of him. Actually she's American,
(27:56):
but her parents are in there. She pulls his COMPRESSI
socks off and his feet swell. He's eighty five. You
know how it goes? Well, A diabetics toes. They're not
Uncle Jerry missing a toe and all that, but they're
not pretty. You get that. I forget what it's called
build up nail on top of nail on top of nail,
and so that's a constant treatment. But we're lucky. He's
(28:16):
got all ten of his toes and she's rubbing his foot.
Does this hurt? Does this hurting? I never seen anything
like that. So my wife is filming this and she's
sending it to me, and I'm thinking, this is the one.
This woman might not even go to medical school. But
she is on her butt on the floor rubbing my
dad's feet, going over because foot care is everything for diabetics.
(28:40):
It's because you don't get circulation down there and all that.
I said, this is it, and this is all. She
gives him her cell phone number, gives us her cell
phone number. I told you the story. The other day,
I meet her boyfriend, Pete Burner. I don't know why
I call him Pete West Maybe because it rhyme with
Pete Best, probably so because we're talking about classic and
(29:01):
he was saying, yeah, I feel like I know your
dad because I'm in his bionic sphere. The bionics sphere remone.
You wear a CGM to keep your blood sugar low,
but if you were diabetic, you'd wear a continuous glucose
monitor that would be a pump and when you ate,
it would shoot insulin down there. Well, it also monitors
your blood shirt because if the blood shirt goes low,
you can go comatose, you can go out. It's bad.
(29:21):
People die this way. It's very common, and so it
might be. You know, it's never going to happen at
a good time. So two o'clock in the morning, it
shoots it. Whoever's in your sphere. My wife, doctor Davis. Well,
because he's laying next to doctor Davis boo boo boop up,
Norman Berry's having him an incident. So he said, you know,
(29:42):
many is the night I'm gonna wake it to a
clock thinking to your dad, hoping he's going to be okay.
So anyway, we're talking about my dad and the whole thing.
She's turned out to be great, and that's when I
did the show on Colenzier's care some of if you
may have listened in on that. If you didn't, you
can go back and find it. And we're talking through
her practice. How she got into what she's doing. She
was on faculty at the medical school and then she
(30:04):
wanted to go into practice. But she has two daughters
and she wanted to practice where. Look, I don't care
how good a doctor you are. If you practice with
one of the big systems, you're going to see seventy
patients a day. And that's not a rewarding way to
practice medicine. But that's how the systems. You're now a
system employee, and you're a corporate employee. And I have
(30:26):
a lot of doctors at her friends, and I will
tell you that is the greatest lament. They love practicing law.
They feel like this isn't practicing law. This is a
cattle mill. They can't spend the time. They can't sit
down on their butt for an hour and rub their
patient's feet and see do you have any wounds, how
does it feel? What are you eating? How are your
mood swings? How is your rest? And this is a
(30:48):
comprehensive care. You're a healer that's why people got into
being a doctor in the first place. She sees between
four and six patients per day. It's however, many people
call her, but you keep your practice down, you pay
cash up front, doesn't cover it, but it's not that much.
Depending on the doctor. It's two to five thousand dollars
per year. I think hers is on the upper end,
(31:08):
may even be a little more because it's diabetes care
as well. But you think about this, you can change
your health plans. Well, you do you, you do you
and your budget, but I will tell you it's the
best money we've ever spent. And then she's available by
cell phone. She's available to make house calls. I mean,
it's people are kind of getting away from there's so
(31:28):
many things about how we became economies of scale because
that's what private equity want. And people are going back
to the ace hardware because they don't want the big
box store and every aspect of that, every aspect of
that life. So anyway, it turns out that while diabetes
care is a big part of what she does, hormones
and so we go through the different glands adrenal, thyroid, pancreas,
(31:51):
and we got into women's issues and I'm curious and
we start talking and she said, well, my actual expertise,
even more than diabetes, which I love to do, is menopause.
And it was like all the women at the table
are so I'm told. So my wife the next morning
(32:12):
ways up and she says, when you and I knew
were down there talking, did you notice that all the
ladies at the table perked up and leaned in when
you start talking about menopause? I said, when I told
you all to get out of my conversation because they
started asking questions. So my wife said, listen, women in
their fifties and beyond are very interested in our life
body changes. I said, I want to hear talk about
(32:33):
no women's hormones. She said, if I have to hear
you talk about testosterone one more time. And I know
you talk about it on there because people tell me
you do. You talk about ed and you got Mohiton
because she's good friends and Mowen talking about the crooked
Wieners and you're talking about testosterone level. And you think
we don't get tired of hearing that. You think we're
not tired of hearing that. Yeah, well, what about the
(32:56):
ladies they care about menopause. I said, keep, ain't a
tyson do that? Why do I have to do that?
So here I am out in the field, all dressed
up in a costume that matches, taking my photo, and
you're gonna get it. Inviting you to the wedding or
whatever it is next Friday morning, We're talking for an
(33:20):
entire hour about menopause. You're free to tune out.
