Yes, it is a happy day if you choose for
it to be. Seven one three nine nine nine one
thousand seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. In
the news overnight, a man has been shot with a
starting pistol and then beaten with a relay baton. Police
(04:59):
believe it may be race related. Fella had to go
to therapy to stop saying that's what she said all
the time. First day of therapy, he walks in, sits
(05:19):
down and the therapist says, look, this process is going
to be long and hard. Yep, if you didn't get that, alright,
I'll try it again. Fella goes to therapy to stop
saying that's what she said all the time. First day
(05:45):
of therapy, he walks in the therapist's office, sits down
on the couch, and the therapist says, look, this process
might be long and hard. I knew a guy who
was arrested for stealing Hey, Unfortunately he couldn't make bail
(06:10):
friend's birthday. Last night. We went to dinner. There were
eight of us, and we went around the room and
said something nice about the person who's birthday it was,
which was not hard to do because she's a wonderful person.
So there's four couples and we're all very good friends.
And one of the group said, of this person, you know,
(06:31):
the first time I met you twelve years ago. Our
friend turned fifty two. So the first time I met
you twelve years ago, I thought to myself, she's like
a nineteen fifties housewife. She's like a throwback. She's really smart,
she's all about her family. She keeps everything running, and
nothing would happen but for her. And she does it
(06:52):
so effortlessly while being beautiful and strong and impressed, even funny,
all at the same time. And you know, I suppose
you could say that about somebody, you know, an empty
but that was the perfect description of this person. And
she said, and twelve years later, that is still how
I would describe you. It's just maybe people wouldn't like
(07:15):
that as a description. I said, I would love that
as a triptan. I think there's a great description. And
so one of the people at our dinner said, do
you think your audience would consider that a compliment or
an insult? For someone to be described as the ultimate
nineteen fifties housewife, I said, well, the kind of audience
member that I would like would consider that a great compliment.
(07:38):
The kind of woman who got caught up in some
sort of mamby pamby, brainless, spineless, I'm empowered, would think
in some stupid way it's an insult. But she doesn't
really know who she is, or what she is, or
what a compliment is anyway. She's just more worried about
being insulted because she doesn't have much self confidence. A
(07:59):
confident woman, whether she works outside the home or not,
has nothing to do with any of this. A man
when he retires doesn't become any less a man, but
a confident woman would consider that a great compliment, and
they should. Seven one three nine one thousand. Open line Friday, Ardi.

Yeah, ok, just go to Galvison County. Walk in there,
even though even though you apply online, go ahead and
go in there because they got work for you to do.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Are they hiring white people? Yeah, well a lot of
people aren't. Now, a lot of government agencies aren't. No,
I'm serious. I just don't want to send down there.
And they're like, I know, and they're playing a bunch
of games with them about why they like, if you're
not hiring white people, just say.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
It, no, no, we're not like that.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Okay, well you're not in the hiring department, Chris, you're
out in the field. You might have slipped through. Hey,
I'm just saying you might have called in. And they
were like, I can't tell, but I think, yeah, go
ahead and hire him.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
No. I walked in there, man, I was like, hey,
y'all looking for somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Okay, are you hispanics?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Come?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, okay, Well they're slipping a few hispanics in there too,
just to keep it honest.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
He cracked me up. Man.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, Chris, thank you for the call, my man. I
appreciate it. Keep the floodwaters off of Galison. I love
that place.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
That's the main part.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's the main part, as my grandmother would say, that's
the mainest thing. Yeah, all right, brother, be safe out there.
I still don't know what they do, do you It
wasn't clear to me.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Noah, Yes, sir Michael, nice to talk to you this morning.
I just wanted to make a quick comment. You know,
I'm forty four years old now, just turn forty four,
and I look around and I see a lot of
shortsightedness on both sides of the public aisle. You know,
we're gonna have another president in a couple of years
for everybody to gripe about. But what I do see
(14:13):
is everybody on both sides of the aisle on their
phones all day every day, forgetting about what they're actually
supposed to do in life, worrying about the near term crisis,
and kind of going through it in a ZOMBIEUS state.
And you know, from my experience, if anybody would do
anything for the amount of time that everybody spends on
their phones, if it was other than phone usage, it
(14:34):
would be labeled in addiction. People would be in treatment.
And it just amazes me how far we've come in
terms of the technology overload. I just think it's a
very a very very bad thing. And that's that's what
I've got to say.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You know, I hear that, and I think in the
main that is probably correct in it as a concept.
But let me ask you this, because it's actually not
everybody doing that. It's just noticeable when you see someone
doing it. A person who's doing that, what do you
think they would be doing otherwise? Because I'll tell you
(15:10):
I don't think that the person who's glued to their
phone texting back and forth all day, especially if it's
not work related or useful, I don't think that person
was going to be thinking deep thoughts anyway. I really don't.
I think it's for not smart people to the phone lines.
We go on the black line. We have Vaughn vughon Europe, sir, go.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Ahead, hello, Michael. Before you had a lady that was
speaking of ivor vectin or ivor mechtan rather yeah. Yeah,
And it's supposed to be legal in Texas. I can't
find it anywhere. I was wondering if anybody have any
idea what it's selling it at.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So I think, okay, let me start by saying I
don't know the answer right off, but I will get
you an answer.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Von thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I do know that she said during that conversation. If
I remember, She's a very smart lady. But she doesn't
always answer my questions directly because I think she thinks
I love questions and I have to tell her later,
like I've had five people ask me that question, says
I answered that, she gets annoyed. I think part of
(16:21):
the problem is she's a very, very smart individual, and
sometimes really smart.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
People are patient.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, they're impatient with the rest of us. And so
first of all, I'm going to ask her. I'm gonna
send her an email and ask her, but I'm also
going to ask my assistant, Emily, because her doctor gave
her some ivermectin and I don't know why, but she
was very excited about it. So it was kind of
one of those things like I was in a men's
(16:50):
lunch group and we had a cosmetic surgeon in there,
and he would bring a different ed drug every week,
and so everybody was all excited to try them, and
everybody there was in their sixties and at the time,
I was about thirty five, so I would always give
mine away because I was thirty five. You know what,
what am I do with ed Bill, But it was
kind of like one of those we all wanted to
do the ivermectin because she had it, right, I just
(17:12):
I need to find out where she got it. Do
you feel like is it you're doing this as a treatment,
as a prove treatment?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah, preventative. I do a lot of preventative. Uh. And uh,
you know for people with diabetes, there's a very good
thing out there that's very little known. Uh. It reverses
diabetic complications the glacation. It's called rosemernic acid. If anybody
want to look that up. It's R O S M
(17:42):
A R I N I C rose morinic. It breaks
the cross link bonds that's created by glaucation.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Interesting, and how did you get do you have a
chronic condition or how did you get?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
No? I do a lot prevented is uh, but that
one there is that's the only thing that I know
of that that can break those cross bonds between the
sugars and proteins.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You pre diabetic? What got you interested in that?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I've been studying medicine since high school. Uh. Well, vitam
was really but you know, like another thing for diabetics. Well,
that one there, I don't like to just leave it
alone so quickly. But it's been research. They had something
that was being done, you know, through clinical trials that
that's called algebrium, and it did the very same thing,
(18:41):
and they found that this one was better than the algebrium.
But algebrium was going through clinic clinical trials and it
was passing.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What just happened, huh you? What happened? You hung up
on a caller and just happens to be on the
Black line. Our first call you drop and it's a
black dude. Vaughn, please call back? What were you doing?
By the way, Well, how come if you're entering other calls?
(19:19):
You knocked him off the line, and we're supposed to
believe the one guy you knocked off the line just
happens to be the black guy. A lot of your
friends are black. On Halloween? Yeah, I know, yeah, I
knew exactly where you were going with that one. Vaughn,
Please call back because I'm actually interested. You know what's funny.
(19:43):
If somebody is really interested in something, it really doesn't
matter what they're interested in. It's interesting to listen to
someone aside from the subject matter. It's nice to see
someone has a passion for some an interest on. It
could be a questri could be guns, it could be traveled,
it could be language. When someone is really interested in something,
(20:04):
it's like it opens up synapses. It gives off an
aura of happiness. And if you if I don't know,
maybe it's just me, but if I'm at a at
a party, or I'm somewhere where there's different people having
different conversations and you find someone who's really interested in something.
I'm not talking about. Somebody's trying to sell something to you.
What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
You?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
The lines are showing as not being able to be folks.
I'm sorry. This is like local public access radio. Let's
see what he's doing here. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Go ahead, Yeah, the law what I heard goes into
effect on December.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Of the fourth.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You're talking about the ivernmacton. Yeah, what's your name?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Pat?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Hold On? Pat? We got we got him back. Hold on,
we got we got our man back.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
All right as well?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Put that on. Hold Let's go to Vaughan Vaughan. Yes, oh,
hold on, I've locked that Love and Villain. Okay, hold
on Vaughan, Yes, okay, hold on I'm m problem. Hold
on all right, so let me go back over here.
Now what do I do with him? Put him on hold? Okay,
all right, all right, stop jacking my call, Vaughn. Yes, okay,
(21:18):
we're having trouble with the phone line. All right, go ahead,
pick up where you left off.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
What oh I mean? I feel offended? Okay? Called Jessey
Jessey jack no play. But anyway, I was speaking about allergebrium,
you know, as compared to rosemarinic acid. Rosemrinic acid. You
can buy that. It's very very hard to find it,
(21:42):
but there's a place called restore to formulas formulas that
do sell like seventy five tablets fall like ninety one dollars.
But anyway, it works very very good, you know, and
it reverses diabetic complications. Like I was saying. The research
which uh I mean you know, uh, the one that's
(22:03):
compared to it, medical form of it, uh, was called algebrium,
and it was passing clinical trials. Everybody had hopes that
it was gonna come through. And in the final stages.
I don't know if it was something that happened or
but the company just just stopped all of a sudden
and they claimed to not have enough funding or something,
(22:26):
or it went out of business or something. But there's
a whole lot of complaints. Uh you know a line
uh you know from people that are you know, into
the medical research and stuff, and a lot of people,
you know, just don't understand what happened. You know, there's
no reports of any negative uh you know, consequences of
taking it. Uh. But anyway, the rosmernic acid does the job.
(22:51):
And uh, you know, uh, since you were asking me about,
you know, if I had any problems, let me speak
of one more thing. That's uh, diabetes, and I know
there's a lot of diabetics out there. Is zinc. Zinc
is a needed Uh that's something called insulin degrading enzyme
(23:12):
in the body and what happens intracellularly.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Uh hold on just a second, just one moment, and
we get back to that. Do you remember when when
remember the zinc doctor out of Michigan who's ninety one
years old. We had him on and during COVID he
was Zinc was his big answer to things.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Let me do.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Vaughn, Now, then, how do I work it in a
double click?
Speaker 5 (23:45):
It?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Vaughn yes, okay, did you.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Call the show on August sixteenth?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Oh maybe I did. What did I say?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know, but a friend of mine, former friend
of mine wrote me a message and said, Vaughn is
a historically good call and I sent back, he's only
been on two minutes. Why would you say that? He said,
he's in the cast of callers to one of the
top ten shows of all time. And I said, that's weird.
We don't even know how. He said, no, no, no.
(24:20):
You put him on as a co caller with Tyrone
and they were great. I sent you a text at
the time, it was August sixteenth, declaring their segment to
be one of the finest you've ever had. It was
the same show you let the Alan Tusas story song
of Southern Nights play out.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So you got voted into or nominated anyway for the
top ten for a caller on the top ten shows
of all time. We've been doing this for twenty years.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh okay, I thought you were going to say Coast
to Coast. I called him a lot too.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh no, no, Yeah, I can tell you're smiling. I
can hear it in your voice.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
You're definitely right. But yeah, I'll zip through this real
quickly because I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):

thousand seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. In
the news overnight, a man has been shot with a
starting pistol and then beaten with a relay baton. Police
(04:59):
believe it may be race related. Fella had to go
to therapy to stop saying that's what she said all
the time. First day of therapy, he walks in, sits
(05:19):
down and the therapist says, look, this process is going
to be long and hard. Yep, if you didn't get that, alright,
I'll try it again. Fella goes to therapy to stop
saying that's what she said all the time. First day
(05:45):
of therapy, he walks in the therapist's office, sits down
on the couch, and the therapist says, look, this process
might be long and hard. I knew a guy who
was arrested for stealing Hey, Unfortunately he couldn't make bail
(06:10):
friend's birthday. Last night. We went to dinner. There were
eight of us, and we went around the room and
said something nice about the person who's birthday it was,
which was not hard to do because she's a wonderful person.
So there's four couples and we're all very good friends.
And one of the group said, of this person, you know,
(06:31):
the first time I met you twelve years ago. Our
friend turned fifty two. So the first time I met
you twelve years ago, I thought to myself, she's like
a nineteen fifties housewife. She's like a throwback. She's really smart,
she's all about her family. She keeps everything running, and
nothing would happen but for her. And she does it
(06:52):
so effortlessly while being beautiful and strong and impressed, even funny,
all at the same time. And you know, I suppose
you could say that about somebody, you know, an empty
but that was the perfect description of this person. And
she said, and twelve years later, that is still how
I would describe you. It's just maybe people wouldn't like
(07:15):
that as a description. I said, I would love that
as a triptan. I think there's a great description. And
so one of the people at our dinner said, do
you think your audience would consider that a compliment or
an insult? For someone to be described as the ultimate
nineteen fifties housewife, I said, well, the kind of audience
member that I would like would consider that a great compliment.
(07:38):
The kind of woman who got caught up in some
sort of mamby pamby, brainless, spineless, I'm empowered, would think
in some stupid way it's an insult. But she doesn't
really know who she is, or what she is, or
what a compliment is anyway. She's just more worried about
being insulted because she doesn't have much self confidence. A
(07:59):
confident woman, whether she works outside the home or not,
has nothing to do with any of this. A man
when he retires doesn't become any less a man, but
a confident woman would consider that a great compliment, and
they should. Seven one three nine one thousand. Open line Friday, Ardi.

Yeah, ok, just go to Galvison County. Walk in there,
even though even though you apply online, go ahead and
go in there because they got work for you to do.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Are they hiring white people? Yeah, well a lot of
people aren't. Now, a lot of government agencies aren't. No,
I'm serious. I just don't want to send down there.
And they're like, I know, and they're playing a bunch
of games with them about why they like, if you're
not hiring white people, just say.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
It, no, no, we're not like that.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Okay, well you're not in the hiring department, Chris, you're
out in the field. You might have slipped through. Hey,
I'm just saying you might have called in. And they
were like, I can't tell, but I think, yeah, go
ahead and hire him.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
No. I walked in there, man, I was like, hey,
y'all looking for somebody.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Okay, are you hispanics?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Come?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, okay, Well they're slipping a few hispanics in there too,
just to keep it honest.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
He cracked me up. Man.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, Chris, thank you for the call, my man. I
appreciate it. Keep the floodwaters off of Galison. I love
that place.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
That's the main part.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's the main part, as my grandmother would say, that's
the mainest thing. Yeah, all right, brother, be safe out there.
I still don't know what they do, do you It
wasn't clear to me.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Noah, Yes, sir Michael, nice to talk to you this morning.
I just wanted to make a quick comment. You know,
I'm forty four years old now, just turn forty four,
and I look around and I see a lot of
shortsightedness on both sides of the public aisle. You know,
we're gonna have another president in a couple of years
for everybody to gripe about. But what I do see
(14:13):
is everybody on both sides of the aisle on their
phones all day every day, forgetting about what they're actually
supposed to do in life, worrying about the near term crisis,
and kind of going through it in a ZOMBIEUS state.
And you know, from my experience, if anybody would do
anything for the amount of time that everybody spends on
their phones, if it was other than phone usage, it
(14:34):
would be labeled in addiction. People would be in treatment.
And it just amazes me how far we've come in
terms of the technology overload. I just think it's a
very a very very bad thing. And that's that's what
I've got to say.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You know, I hear that, and I think in the
main that is probably correct in it as a concept.
But let me ask you this, because it's actually not
everybody doing that. It's just noticeable when you see someone
doing it. A person who's doing that, what do you
think they would be doing otherwise? Because I'll tell you
(15:10):
I don't think that the person who's glued to their
phone texting back and forth all day, especially if it's
not work related or useful, I don't think that person
was going to be thinking deep thoughts anyway. I really don't.
I think it's for not smart people to the phone lines.
We go on the black line. We have Vaughn vughon Europe, sir, go.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Ahead, hello, Michael. Before you had a lady that was
speaking of ivor vectin or ivor mechtan rather yeah. Yeah,
And it's supposed to be legal in Texas. I can't
find it anywhere. I was wondering if anybody have any
idea what it's selling it at.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So I think, okay, let me start by saying I
don't know the answer right off, but I will get
you an answer.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Von thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I do know that she said during that conversation. If
I remember, She's a very smart lady. But she doesn't
always answer my questions directly because I think she thinks
I love questions and I have to tell her later,
like I've had five people ask me that question, says
I answered that, she gets annoyed. I think part of
(16:21):
the problem is she's a very, very smart individual, and
sometimes really smart.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
People are patient.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, they're impatient with the rest of us. And so
first of all, I'm going to ask her. I'm gonna
send her an email and ask her, but I'm also
going to ask my assistant, Emily, because her doctor gave
her some ivermectin and I don't know why, but she
was very excited about it. So it was kind of
one of those things like I was in a men's
(16:50):
lunch group and we had a cosmetic surgeon in there,
and he would bring a different ed drug every week,
and so everybody was all excited to try them, and
everybody there was in their sixties and at the time,
I was about thirty five, so I would always give
mine away because I was thirty five. You know what,
what am I do with ed Bill, But it was
kind of like one of those we all wanted to
do the ivermectin because she had it, right, I just
(17:12):
I need to find out where she got it. Do
you feel like is it you're doing this as a treatment,
as a prove treatment?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah, preventative. I do a lot of preventative. Uh. And uh,
you know for people with diabetes, there's a very good
thing out there that's very little known. Uh. It reverses
diabetic complications the glacation. It's called rosemernic acid. If anybody
want to look that up. It's R O S M
(17:42):
A R I N I C rose morinic. It breaks
the cross link bonds that's created by glaucation.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Interesting, and how did you get do you have a
chronic condition or how did you get?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
No? I do a lot prevented is uh, but that
one there is that's the only thing that I know
of that that can break those cross bonds between the
sugars and proteins.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You pre diabetic? What got you interested in that?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I've been studying medicine since high school. Uh. Well, vitam
was really but you know, like another thing for diabetics. Well,
that one there, I don't like to just leave it
alone so quickly. But it's been research. They had something
that was being done, you know, through clinical trials that
that's called algebrium, and it did the very same thing,
(18:41):
and they found that this one was better than the algebrium.
But algebrium was going through clinic clinical trials and it
was passing.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What just happened, huh you? What happened? You hung up
on a caller and just happens to be on the
Black line. Our first call you drop and it's a
black dude. Vaughn, please call back? What were you doing?
By the way, Well, how come if you're entering other calls?
(19:19):
You knocked him off the line, and we're supposed to
believe the one guy you knocked off the line just
happens to be the black guy. A lot of your
friends are black. On Halloween? Yeah, I know, yeah, I
knew exactly where you were going with that one. Vaughn,
Please call back because I'm actually interested. You know what's funny.
(19:43):
If somebody is really interested in something, it really doesn't
matter what they're interested in. It's interesting to listen to
someone aside from the subject matter. It's nice to see
someone has a passion for some an interest on. It
could be a questri could be guns, it could be traveled,
it could be language. When someone is really interested in something,
(20:04):
it's like it opens up synapses. It gives off an
aura of happiness. And if you if I don't know,
maybe it's just me, but if I'm at a at
a party, or I'm somewhere where there's different people having
different conversations and you find someone who's really interested in something.
I'm not talking about. Somebody's trying to sell something to you.
What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
You?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
The lines are showing as not being able to be folks.
I'm sorry. This is like local public access radio. Let's
see what he's doing here. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Go ahead, Yeah, the law what I heard goes into
effect on December.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Of the fourth.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You're talking about the ivernmacton. Yeah, what's your name?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Pat?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Hold On? Pat? We got we got him back. Hold on,
we got we got our man back.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
All right as well?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Put that on. Hold Let's go to Vaughan Vaughan. Yes, oh,
hold on, I've locked that Love and Villain. Okay, hold
on Vaughan, Yes, okay, hold on I'm m problem. Hold
on all right, so let me go back over here.
Now what do I do with him? Put him on hold? Okay,
all right, all right, stop jacking my call, Vaughn. Yes, okay,
(21:18):
we're having trouble with the phone line. All right, go ahead,
pick up where you left off.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
What oh I mean? I feel offended? Okay? Called Jessey
Jessey jack no play. But anyway, I was speaking about allergebrium,
you know, as compared to rosemarinic acid. Rosemrinic acid. You
can buy that. It's very very hard to find it,
(21:42):
but there's a place called restore to formulas formulas that
do sell like seventy five tablets fall like ninety one dollars.
But anyway, it works very very good, you know, and
it reverses diabetic complications. Like I was saying. The research
which uh I mean you know, uh, the one that's
(22:03):
compared to it, medical form of it, uh, was called algebrium,
and it was passing clinical trials. Everybody had hopes that
it was gonna come through. And in the final stages.
I don't know if it was something that happened or
but the company just just stopped all of a sudden
and they claimed to not have enough funding or something,
(22:26):
or it went out of business or something. But there's
a whole lot of complaints. Uh you know a line
uh you know from people that are you know, into
the medical research and stuff, and a lot of people,
you know, just don't understand what happened. You know, there's
no reports of any negative uh you know, consequences of
taking it. Uh. But anyway, the rosmernic acid does the job.
(22:51):
And uh, you know, uh, since you were asking me about,
you know, if I had any problems, let me speak
of one more thing. That's uh, diabetes, and I know
there's a lot of diabetics out there. Is zinc. Zinc
is a needed Uh that's something called insulin degrading enzyme
(23:12):
in the body and what happens intracellularly.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Uh hold on just a second, just one moment, and
we get back to that. Do you remember when when
remember the zinc doctor out of Michigan who's ninety one
years old. We had him on and during COVID he
was Zinc was his big answer to things.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Let me do.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Vaughn, Now, then, how do I work it in a
double click?
Speaker 5 (23:45):
It?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Okay, got it?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Vaughn yes, okay, did you.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Call the show on August sixteenth?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Oh maybe I did. What did I say?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't know, but a friend of mine, former friend
of mine wrote me a message and said, Vaughn is
a historically good call and I sent back, he's only
been on two minutes. Why would you say that? He said,
he's in the cast of callers to one of the
top ten shows of all time. And I said, that's weird.
We don't even know how. He said, no, no, no.
(24:20):
You put him on as a co caller with Tyrone
and they were great. I sent you a text at
the time, it was August sixteenth, declaring their segment to
be one of the finest you've ever had. It was
the same show you let the Alan Tusas story song
of Southern Nights play out.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So you got voted into or nominated anyway for the
top ten for a caller on the top ten shows
of all time. We've been doing this for twenty years.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh okay, I thought you were going to say Coast
to Coast. I called him a lot too.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh no, no, Yeah, I can tell you're smiling. I
can hear it in your voice.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
You're definitely right. But yeah, I'll zip through this real
quickly because I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Before you do that, Vron, would you like to play

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
