With clotheslines, my grandmother, who I called Nanny, was the
last person that I think I knew who still had
a clothes line. Secret Service suspense officers caught brawling on
camera outside Obama's home. You can see the two agents
appearing to shove each other. Quote whoop this girl? Test uh.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
The Secret Service says agents are expected to follow a
strict code of conduct and the behavior is unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Not unacceptable. Ladies, y'all are out here on the street
fighting scratching. We find this to be unacceptable.

(08:40):
head to Pennsylvania at five pm Eastern. He will be
speaking to a US steel plant in West Mifflin after
he has signaled his approval of the Nippon Steel US
Steel deal. Those are the two highlights of his to
this week. The press conference with Elon. Of course, a
(09:04):
thank you to Elon Musk for his service to the
country through Doge, which is of course bittersweet, But I
think it was never intended to be a long term deal.
Elon's got a lot of things going on, and his
hope would be as with everything else he does, that
he's put in place a good culture, the dose folks
are spread throughout the government, and that they will continue
(09:27):
to have a positive impact. I sure hope, so, I
sure hope. So all right, it's open line Friday, seven three,

even like that person. There's going to be days that

real aggressive. You know, I don't know what's causing it,

taken me out of the house, had no place to live.
I had taken probably a fifteen million dollar home building
company and whittled it down to about zero dollars. Yeah, man,
(18:13):
I was I'd never got what were you doing? I
was probably I was just everything. I am an alcoholic,
But man, I went to I went to law school

perfected the cocaine while I was down there. But everything, pills, cocaine,
(18:40):
anything you can think of, whatever would mask the feelings
that I had that I didn't want to have, That
would that would let me run away from whatever I
was wanting running away from That's what I would take.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Man, that's hard to do, but well that as hard
as a very brave thing to do. That sounds like
you're in a great spot right now. Yeah, life is good.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Yeah, it's been good to me, and now I get
to give back to other people. I can be of
service to my wife, who did not leave me during
this time period. We just hit our ten year anniversary
about a month ago. I had one daughter at the
time when I went to treatment, and now I have

greater Houston area.

I'd say everybody from Texas for the most part, but
probably since it's in the central Texas area, a lot
of them are there. But we probably get it's a
sixty six bed facility, so we probably have seventy seventy
percent from the Austin area and then the rest of

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Ramon says you passed, well done. Raymond Michael Berry Show
got a message from Rico Mas Johnny today and said,
I heard you mentioned clothes lines in the Weekend Review.
This morning. My dryer broke a while back, and I
(23:43):
put up a clothes line in my yard till I
could get it fixed. Well, I got the I got
the dryer fixed. Sorry, I lost my train. I got
the dryer fixed, and I wound up keeping the clothes
line afterwards. I use it from gym clothes and jeans. Mostly.
There is something therapeutic about going in the yard and
(24:04):
hanging each piece with clothes pins and a nice picture
with the barbecue pit underneath it in a chair out there.
But Ramon, I feel like, guy, the guy, you didn't
need to include the line. I use it for my
gym clothing jeans mostly, right, Like, that was a perfectly
good email. Hey, you were talking about this, and this
(24:26):
is what I'm doing nostalgia. You know, I got a
lot of folks that I know koy and different folks
that will send me emails of Hey, you were talking
about old fashioned coffee makers or old fashion this, or
old classic trucks or whatever, and just thought you'd like, no,
you know, here is this and that thing was going
along fine, and I wound up keeping it up afterwards.
(24:51):
I use it for my gym clothes and jeans mostly.
I don't think that needed to be there. I didn't
need to know what article of clothing was in there.
I'm wondering what that just doesn't add anything? All right,
I'll read it to you two different ways. Okay, here's
how he wrote it, subject line clothes line herd. Can
(25:12):
I get some music? Maybe some old fashioned music? You know,
an affair to remember kind of thing you will bring
her into King and I you know something that says
nineteen fifty two. You know, I can imagine my nanny
as I called her. She wore glasses and didn't have
a that had the nose bobber on it. But the
(25:32):
glasses were so heavy back in the just dig into
her nose. When she take her glasses off to wipe
her eyes, it'd be this huge indentation there. She cut
her own hair. She painted her her nails once every
five years, whether she needed to or not. So there
was her nails were always not painted, but just a
little bit of red because that was the only thing
Cheryl wore still just a little just a little knobs
(25:55):
of just little patches of red on there. She wore
alli estra pants from that she bought from Kroger. She
wore floral shirts and she probably had five of them
if that. And then she wore slip on shoes that
were just like the little pad we be, like the
shoes you get at a hotel that they give you
(26:16):
to go down to the pool or whatever. All right,
so here is she would do that. She was the clothesline.
I remember being a little bitty I remember, I can
remember being so small. I'd walk out there and i'd
stand next to her while she was putting the clothes
on the clothesline, and I wrapped my arms around her leg,
and she'd as she moved from one to the next,
she'd move the leg that didn't have me on it,
(26:37):
and then she'd move that other one, and it was
like the jolly green giant. I thought Nanny could do anything.
All right, here's the version that he did clothesline. Heard
you mentioned clothesline. I'll do it as you want me
to do it, as rico. Good morning, brother, I saw
a clothesline. I heard you mentioned clotheslines week in review.
(27:00):
This morn, my driverer broke and I put a clothes
line in my yard till I could get it fixed.
I wound up keeping it up afterwards. I use it
for my gym clothes and jeans. Mostly. There's something therapeutic
about going in the yard, brother, and hanging each piece
with clothes pins. All right, now, let's do it without
(27:21):
that line. Let's see which one sounds better. Clothes pin,
Oh say, clothes line? Good morning, brother. I heard you
mentioned clothes lines in your Week in Review. This morning,
my driverer broke a while back, and I put up
a clothes line in my yard till I could get
it fixed. I wound up keeping it up after There's
something therapeutic about going in the yard and hanging each
(27:42):
piece with clothes pins. So that makes the world difference,
doesn't it, Because what you use it for, which is
of no consequence, takes the punch out from I wound
up keeping it up afterwards. There's something therapeutic about whereas
when you throw in the gym clothing jeans. Also, that's
kind of ils some bro code. I don't know that
just that's to get you know, that's like telling me
(28:05):
the scent of the candle in your bedroom. You know,
you just agree on that. I'm open to emails with
the vote one way or another, and don't don't just
because you like Rico. Don't go no, no. I think
it's perfectly fine. Michael. You're being overly sensitive. That's not
how this works. Uh, listen, did Vaughan call back? All right,
(28:26):
let's go to Pete first. Who will go to Vaughan?
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Pete?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
You're up, go ahead, Hell, Pet's underwater. He's drowning. He's
(28:52):
one hundred percent rounding right now. No, maybe he was
just waving to the war. I kind of like to
imagine MacArthur when he said I shall return, and he's returning,
you know, and he's waiting through the water. You ain't
got got a high step get out of that water.
That's what that's sounded like. We lost him. Okay, all right,
(29:18):
Vaughn's back, Go ahead, Vaughan.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Hey, I was up against the break when when we
finished last time. But uh, yeah, I'm gonna take the
comical angle off of it because it seemed like it
didn't stick. But anyway, Uh, it seems that, you know,
when they pull a vaccine, you know, off the market
or try to stop it, it seems that there's more
(29:41):
virulent forms or strands of the uh the virus that's
uh that's waiting to be put out, you know. And
I'm thinking that it's maybe the vaccine company, uh, you know,
maybe somebody who has an interest in the time bombing
f act of uh you know, vaccines, or maybe the
(30:03):
money whatever. But uh, there seemed to be more virulent
strands in waiting, and uh, you know these particular strands
that just came out you know they were waiting to
be released, but you know this is just as good
a time as any. That's basically what I wanted to say.
(30:23):
And another thing I wanted to ask you a question, Mike,
have you ever heard of a music musician Ace Cannon.
He's a he's an old white guy from New Orleans
or He has a record called Tough t U f F.
If you can play that, I think you would enjoy.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
That old white guy in New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yes, the older white guy, he's real, real No, no
A C Canon c A N N O N that
said right there? All right, goodbye, Mike.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
My brother's got some soul one, Yes he does, he does.
We'll just stay there and we're listening to it together. Okay,
this ain't quite Gym's and the gym clothes and jeans
on the clothes line, but it might be a crossing
a certain line. But that's just a jermyne. Ain't that irony?
(31:26):
A black guy calling the white guy told about the
old white guy in New Orleans. This is a crazy country.
It's that time, time, time, luck and load. The Michael
Very Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Oh yes, let this one roll over. Eighteen years ago

the wheel zone you'd go running in. They had to
(05:53):

and that song got in your head. Complete earworm.

so good coming off the bench to win games?
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Quote?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
With clotheslines, my grandmother, who I called Nanny, was the
last person that I think I knew who still had
a clothes line. Secret Service suspense officers caught brawling on
camera outside Obama's home. You can see the two agents
appearing to shove each other. Quote whoop this girl? Test uh.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
The Secret Service says agents are expected to follow a
strict code of conduct and the behavior is unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Not unacceptable. Ladies, y'all are out here on the street
fighting scratching. We find this to be unacceptable.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
A lot of modern country music, what is called stadium
country music, the sort of Keith. Urban brands of country
music is that it is not honest.

(08:40):
head to Pennsylvania at five pm Eastern. He will be
speaking to a US steel plant in West Mifflin after
he has signaled his approval of the Nippon Steel US
Steel deal. Those are the two highlights of his to
this week. The press conference with Elon. Of course, a
(09:04):
thank you to Elon Musk for his service to the
country through Doge, which is of course bittersweet, But I
think it was never intended to be a long term deal.
Elon's got a lot of things going on, and his
hope would be as with everything else he does, that
he's put in place a good culture, the dose folks
are spread throughout the government, and that they will continue
(09:27):
to have a positive impact. I sure hope, so, I
sure hope. So all right, it's open line Friday, seven three,

It's you know, there's gonna be days that you don't
even like that person. There's going to be days that
you're annoyed by that person. There's going to be days

and that's just, you know, it's just the nature of it.
But you're committed to it and it all comes around

real aggressive. You know, I don't know what's causing it,

very aggressive.
Speaker 10 (15:50):

Hold on just a second, Jordan, Hold on just a second, sir.
What was Tell me where you were five years ago

Speaker 7 (17:52):
I mean, so I went to treatment five years ago.
Right before I went in, I was my wife had
taken me out of the house, had no place to live.
I had taken probably a fifteen million dollar home building
company and whittled it down to about zero dollars. Yeah, man,
(18:13):
I was I'd never got what were you doing? I
was probably I was just everything. I am an alcoholic,
But man, I went to I went to law school
and grab school in Miami, and so I kind of
perfected the cocaine while I was down there. But everything, pills, cocaine,
(18:40):
anything you can think of, whatever would mask the feelings
that I had that I didn't want to have, That
would that would let me run away from whatever I
was wanting running away from That's what I would take.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Man, that's hard to do, but well that as hard
as a very brave thing to do. That sounds like
you're in a great spot right now. Yeah, life is good.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Yeah, it's been good to me, and now I get
to give back to other people. I can be of
service to my wife, who did not leave me during
this time period. We just hit our ten year anniversary
about a month ago. I had one daughter at the
time when I went to treatment, and now I have
two daughters.

greater Houston area.
Speaker 7 (19:56):

I'd say everybody from Texas for the most part, but
probably since it's in the central Texas area, a lot
of them are there. But we probably get it's a
sixty six bed facility, so we probably have seventy seventy
percent from the Austin area and then the rest of

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Ramon says you passed, well done. Raymond Michael Berry Show
got a message from Rico Mas Johnny today and said,
I heard you mentioned clothes lines in the Weekend Review.
This morning. My dryer broke a while back, and I
(23:43):
put up a clothes line in my yard till I
could get it fixed. Well, I got the I got
the dryer fixed. Sorry, I lost my train. I got
the dryer fixed, and I wound up keeping the clothes
line afterwards. I use it from gym clothes and jeans. Mostly.
There is something therapeutic about going in the yard and
(24:04):
hanging each piece with clothes pins and a nice picture
with the barbecue pit underneath it in a chair out there.
But Ramon, I feel like, guy, the guy, you didn't
need to include the line. I use it for my
gym clothing jeans mostly, right, Like, that was a perfectly
good email. Hey, you were talking about this, and this
(24:26):
is what I'm doing nostalgia. You know, I got a
lot of folks that I know koy and different folks
that will send me emails of Hey, you were talking
about old fashioned coffee makers or old fashion this, or
old classic trucks or whatever, and just thought you'd like, no,
you know, here is this and that thing was going
along fine, and I wound up keeping it up afterwards.
(24:51):
I use it for my gym clothes and jeans mostly.
I don't think that needed to be there. I didn't
need to know what article of clothing was in there.
I'm wondering what that just doesn't add anything? All right,
I'll read it to you two different ways. Okay, here's
how he wrote it, subject line clothes line herd. Can
(25:12):
I get some music? Maybe some old fashioned music? You know,
an affair to remember kind of thing you will bring
her into King and I you know something that says
nineteen fifty two. You know, I can imagine my nanny
as I called her. She wore glasses and didn't have
a that had the nose bobber on it. But the
(25:32):
glasses were so heavy back in the just dig into
her nose. When she take her glasses off to wipe
her eyes, it'd be this huge indentation there. She cut
her own hair. She painted her her nails once every
five years, whether she needed to or not. So there
was her nails were always not painted, but just a
little bit of red because that was the only thing
Cheryl wore still just a little just a little knobs
(25:55):
of just little patches of red on there. She wore
alli estra pants from that she bought from Kroger. She
wore floral shirts and she probably had five of them
if that. And then she wore slip on shoes that
were just like the little pad we be, like the
shoes you get at a hotel that they give you
(26:16):
to go down to the pool or whatever. All right,
so here is she would do that. She was the clothesline.
I remember being a little bitty I remember, I can
remember being so small. I'd walk out there and i'd
stand next to her while she was putting the clothes
on the clothesline, and I wrapped my arms around her leg,
and she'd as she moved from one to the next,
she'd move the leg that didn't have me on it,
(26:37):
and then she'd move that other one, and it was
like the jolly green giant. I thought Nanny could do anything.
All right, here's the version that he did clothesline. Heard
you mentioned clothesline. I'll do it as you want me
to do it, as rico. Good morning, brother, I saw
a clothesline. I heard you mentioned clotheslines week in review.
(27:00):
This morn, my driverer broke and I put a clothes
line in my yard till I could get it fixed.
I wound up keeping it up afterwards. I use it
for my gym clothes and jeans. Mostly. There's something therapeutic
about going in the yard, brother, and hanging each piece
with clothes pins. All right, now, let's do it without
(27:21):
that line. Let's see which one sounds better. Clothes pin,
Oh say, clothes line? Good morning, brother. I heard you
mentioned clothes lines in your Week in Review. This morning,
my driverer broke a while back, and I put up
a clothes line in my yard till I could get
it fixed. I wound up keeping it up after There's
something therapeutic about going in the yard and hanging each
(27:42):
piece with clothes pins. So that makes the world difference,
doesn't it, Because what you use it for, which is
of no consequence, takes the punch out from I wound
up keeping it up afterwards. There's something therapeutic about whereas
when you throw in the gym clothing jeans. Also, that's
kind of ils some bro code. I don't know that
just that's to get you know, that's like telling me
(28:05):
the scent of the candle in your bedroom. You know,
you just agree on that. I'm open to emails with
the vote one way or another, and don't don't just
because you like Rico. Don't go no, no. I think
it's perfectly fine. Michael. You're being overly sensitive. That's not
how this works. Uh, listen, did Vaughan call back? All right,
(28:26):
let's go to Pete first. Who will go to Vaughan?
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Pete?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
You're up, go ahead, Hell, Pet's underwater. He's drowning. He's
(28:52):
one hundred percent rounding right now. No, maybe he was
just waving to the war. I kind of like to
imagine MacArthur when he said I shall return, and he's returning,
you know, and he's waiting through the water. You ain't
got got a high step get out of that water.
That's what that's sounded like. We lost him. Okay, all right,
(29:18):
Vaughn's back, Go ahead, Vaughan.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Hey, I was up against the break when when we
finished last time. But uh, yeah, I'm gonna take the
comical angle off of it because it seemed like it
didn't stick. But anyway, Uh, it seems that, you know,
when they pull a vaccine, you know, off the market
or try to stop it, it seems that there's more
(29:41):
virulent forms or strands of the uh the virus that's
uh that's waiting to be put out, you know. And
I'm thinking that it's maybe the vaccine company, uh, you know,
maybe somebody who has an interest in the time bombing
f act of uh you know, vaccines, or maybe the
(30:03):
money whatever. But uh, there seemed to be more virulent
strands in waiting, and uh, you know these particular strands
that just came out you know they were waiting to
be released, but you know this is just as good
a time as any. That's basically what I wanted to say.
(30:23):
And another thing I wanted to ask you a question, Mike,
have you ever heard of a music musician Ace Cannon.
He's a he's an old white guy from New Orleans
or He has a record called Tough t U f F.
If you can play that, I think you would enjoy.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
That old white guy in New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Yes, the older white guy, he's real, real No, no
A C Canon c A N N O N that
said right there? All right, goodbye, Mike.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
My brother's got some soul one, Yes he does, he does.
We'll just stay there and we're listening to it together. Okay,
this ain't quite Gym's and the gym clothes and jeans
on the clothes line, but it might be a crossing
a certain line. But that's just a jermyne. Ain't that irony?
(31:26):
A black guy calling the white guy told about the
old white guy in New Orleans. This is a crazy country.
