Speaker 7 (04:58):
A happy day.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh well, y'all went and did it. We went in
to check the emails, I mean the voicemails after Tuesday

(05:29):
night's win, and we didn't check it for a full
day later because you know, we had the next day
show and everything going on. But it wasn't until yesterday
that Jim opens the system and it says the system
is down, and apparently y'all crashed the system with all

(05:52):
the phone calls Tuesday night into the night, more of
the calls after midnight than which means some of y'all
got a little let up and call the voicemail. So
we are endeavoring with the back office to figure out
if we can retrieve those voicemails or not. But hey,

(06:14):
we ain't mad. You were feeling good and we are too.
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine
nine nine one thousands open line Friday year calls coming
up the first courtesy of the greatest executive producer in
all the land, chaddikone nakadishi.

Speaker 8 (06:30):
You we can review.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
By Friday drive in and I go wonder what Chad's
gonna put in the weir we can review? No wonder,
I wonder what he's gonna find in the week that
I had forgotten about.

Speaker 9 (06:44):
Did you say belive, believe what you're going to do?
I think I could stay at me for a while,
maybe longer if I do.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Did you that what you sit next?

Speaker 8 (06:59):
No you don't.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I make a joyful noises to the Lord Bobby.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I am a conservative plebeian that has voted for Trump.

Speaker 10 (07:09):
Then the first went into office.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
After Bobby called in, I got three emails in less
than five minutes asking for her number one. Am I
running some lesbian dating site here? Payley, Hey, I'm a
conservative lesbian John voting for Trump. I am overwhelmed with
lesbians for Trump. Long lines of people forming to cast
their vote on election day here in America, a day

(07:32):
that many people are calling the most consequential election in decades.
Brian Alan Lickman from American University predicted nine or the
less ten elections correctly, and he has a prediction who
will win the Oval office in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 10 (07:44):
Kamala Harris will be a new path breaking president, the
first woman president.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
The Fox News Decision Desk can now officially project that
Donald Trump will become the forty seventh President of the
United States.

Speaker 6 (07:58):
Making a political comeback unlike any in modern American politics.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
This selection something of an indictment of the political information complex.
I mean, we've been sitting around here for the last
couple of weeks and the story that was portrayed was
not the true. I mean, we were told Puerto Rico
was going to change your election. Liz Chaney Nikki.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Haileyburger America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
The globalists lost the people one. There's so many different
ways you can slice this. There's so many different ways
you can look at.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
This like a mobly street. I keep running for dream, moving.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
On well, the greatest moments in your life. It's the
formal ware. We have all your formal wear needs, from
morning suits to coordinating accessories.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
You may have seen the news.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
The very first woman, the chief of staff the United
States President has been announced, not by a Democrat, of course,
but by Donald Trump, who has made it a practice
who surround himself with very strong women. If you look

(09:36):
it up up and down the c suite, the upper
echelon of his executive teams, in his various businesses, and
in the holding companies, the overall companies, you will see strong,
powerful women. This reputation he has as a ladies man

(10:00):
and are appreciating beautiful women may well be true. But
he also has a very very keen understanding of talent
and leadership and vision and toughness and resilience. And when
those candidates are women, which more often than not, interestingly

(10:20):
in his organization, they have been he hires them. He
has hired a woman who has been instrumental and not
very public in his campaign to be the president. She's
a leader, she's a delegator. She's a person that makes
the trains run on time. As we say of Chad Nakanishi,
she's the person whose name does not get mentioned because

(10:43):
she's in the back and doesn't want the credit much.
Also like Chad Nakanishi, and her name is Susie Wiles.
What's interesting about this is first it's the first woman
to be in this role. And secondly, while is her
married name, her maiden name is summer All. She was

(11:07):
Susie summer Al And if ever there was a more lush,
velvety voice in sports broadcasting, it was Pat Summerl her father.
Now I don't know how President Trump came to know her,
but apparently they have a very close relationship. He trusts

(11:28):
her a great deal, but I suspect that relationship may
have come about. That's not to say she couldn't meet
people on her own, but Trump's relationship to media and
his relationship to professional football particularly remember he was USFL

(11:49):
owner of the New Jersey team and had famously Hersha
Walker as their star running back. I suspect that there
was probably some inner action there, and but I don't
know that. I'm just that's pure conjecture, Ramon. I can't
see my screen. I made an error when I was
resetting it. So you have to tell me if we

(12:10):
have a caller on the line. Ironically, Victor the blind man,
because this is the blind screening the blind I cannot
see my screen.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Victor declared to Ramon that he is on the blind
line before we go to him. I have one bit
of business, if you will indulge me.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
You good people.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
We had our sponsor evening last night. We had our
show sponsors gather. I don't get to see them face
to face as as often as I used to, and
especially with the syndication deal and just a lot going on.
My mom has been sick for a long time, my
dad was sick before that. You know, two kids in

(12:52):
high school now, one a freshmen, and we're going back
and forth to Austin. So the demands on my time
have been greater than usual. And but I like to
in touch with my sponsors. So we had a sponsor
event last night. Ramon showed up very late and then
slipped out very early. That's kind of what he does.
A Mattress Max spoke, which is always a treat everybody loves.

(13:12):
Nobody questions why Mattress Max speaks. It's like, yeah, he's there,
let's hear from him. Eddie Martinez spoke and I had
an opportunity to thank them for everything they do for
our show. And I appreciate our show sponsors. If you
are ever interested in becoming a show sponsor, I would
encourage you to email me directly, not go through the

(13:33):
corporate office. Trust me, it's better for all of us
if you do that. I can make sure that you
are well taken care of as I would want you
to be well taken care of, rather than being put
into a system. So you just email me, and anyone
can email me anytime. I read those emails, and I
take great pride in that because I don't think anybody
at our level in the country reads that every single

(13:54):
email the way I do, and that is through the
website Michael Berryshow dot com, and or you can email
me directly Michael at Michael Berryshow dot com. So very quickly,
let me say this, for the last ten years at
Eddie Martini's request, there is a charity that is near
and dear to his heart, and that is Saint Jude.

(14:14):
And we raised so much money the first year that
they invited me the next year to come intur it
and it just absolutely moved me. It is free cancer
care for children with rare forms of cancer. It's a
research hospital. But what makes it so amazing it's a
research and treatment hospital is these children get all the

(14:35):
care they need at no cost to them because the
money is donated. But what's perhaps more important is that
they don't keep that proprietary information. They now use technology
to share that research with the world. So if you're
a doctor in Africa or Indonesia who has a patient

(14:58):
with a little child because it's pediatric, with a huge
lump in their chest pushing on their heart and you
can't figure out what to do, then they will send
you a video and go, well, here's how we do this,
and here's where you cut, and here's where you don't.
And there are places that don't have that kind of technology,
including rural parts of the United States of America. Kids

(15:18):
go from all over the country to go to Saint
Jude to be treated in the ten years since Eddie
asked me to do this. The only thing we do
is we do the golf tournament every year and we
take an hour or two on our show to ask
people to email me, don't call, email me and sponsor
a team. And we've raised three million dollars in ten
years or a wonderful organization. We'll do that again. Now

(15:39):
you don't have to use your team. If you want
to write a five thousand dollars check to Saint Jude
as a favor to us, we will give your team
to Camp Hope. And every year there are some folks
who don't use their team, and what we do is
we it's a foursome and we give it to Camp
Hope and they go out and play as part of
the golf tournament. The tournament is Monday, December ninth at

(16:01):
Golf Club of Houston. It's a foursome with a caddy.
It starts in the morning with a Bloody Mary Bar.
It goes through lunch. You get all sorts of swag,
cool stuff and everything else. All of it we get
donated and it's amazing. It's an incredible, incredible day for
the people who do it. Your foursome can be your
clients or your employees, or if you say at the

(16:24):
last minute or today I don't really want to go,
I'm just I'll write a check for you. I'm going
to sell twenty teams at five thousand dollars apiece, and
then the rest of our money was raised by our
sponsors who've already signed up. Not all of these are
show sponsors. Some of these are folks who have donated
who are not show sponsors, but I wanted to thank them,
and that is KBR Gringoes as always, Gallery Furniture as always,

(16:48):
Cult Excavation Services, Double D Industries, Beck and Maston, Buick GMC,
who always step up for US, Specs, wine and spirits
as they do. Kirk Ku r K Holmes, Houston Powder Coders.
Did you did you meet that cute little Emma? She's
Flavio's daughter, the owner of Houston Powder Coats, Halko, Nick's

(17:09):
Plumbing and air Conditioning Generator, Supercenter, Lindsey Office Furniture, Republic
Grand Ranch as always, a Corey Diamond's End Design as always,
Blue Fine Men'swear, Kobe Stevens Lamont Brands as always, and
Rudy's Barbecue those folks gave between ten thousand and fifty
thousand dollars a piece to get us to our goal.

(17:30):
And there are some more. But if you are willing
to sponsor, shoot me an email Michael at Michael Berryshow
dot com or go to our website Michael Berryshow dot com.
Until we get to twenty. Today it's five thousand a team.
Now let's get to your costs. Yeah, Victor, you're on
the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Ramon and Jim have been endeavoring for over twenty four
hours with our back office supplier of technology to get
the voicemails to figure out why the voicemail system went down.
And their answer was that for some reason, we'd had
a lot of calls come in Tuesday night. Yeah, you

(18:13):
might know something big was happening in the country and
people were watching returns and we're who they thought to call.
Maybe that ever crossed your mind, And no, it's not
some shop in India. This is an American company. You
would think they would know that anyway. So this has
been going on all yesterday through the evening, and I'm
watching Jim and Ramone's emails going back and forth, and

(18:36):
then this morning. It starts back early at about five o'clock,
and I mentioned it, and I'm not saying I had
anything to do with it. But then just as we're
coming back on the arabone said they've got our voicemails
back up and they were able to retrieve all of them.
We just don't have the time to hear all of
them before the evening show, which is probably when we
use some of them. And look at that. I asked

(18:59):
for people to sponsor the Saint Jude Golf Tournament, which
we do every year. We've raised three million dollars over
the ten years, and I believe in it, which will
be Monday, December ninth at the Golf Club of Houston.
And all they have to do is send me an
emails five thousand dollars the earlier in today's show that
you write in your check. The more times that as
I keep calling for it, you get your your company

(19:21):
name mentioned. And how about this one mentioned fromon one
mention And I look at my emails and I already
have zero responses. That's that's good, phil Ego right there.
That's incredible, I tell you. Also, I want to thank

(19:42):
team sponsors Piedra Media Enterprise renta car McDonald's. That's the
Gutierrez Gutierrez Organization. He's a franchise. Cynthia Woods, Mitchell, Jeff
Young out there applied gas. Dan egans we won't be canceled.
Dan always supports what we do. Helms Landscape Design. I

(20:04):
got an email from Chris Helms early this morning. He's
in Missouri freezing his ass off out in a deer stand.
Robert Reese, who always buys a He's one of our sellers,
our top seller, and he always buy. He always buys
a team himself, which is a big deal, and usually
puts four of his clients in IT plants for all season.

(20:25):
Our good friend, Victor Flaherty's also a show sponsor Enviro's
Smart Multi Family Pest Solutions. John Weigel bought two teams.
Charles Schwab that's Jack Salisbury who did that, Clarence Cheatham
and how City Bank. That is Marag mckinnis, Dennis Donn

(20:47):
Harvey or Hervey Barlow Specialty Contractors. That's Ben Barlow. They
always support everything we do, every single time we ask.
They always do, and us legal support it, says Jimmy Bridwell.
But I think that's Jimmy Birdwell would be my all right,
So email and oh here we got we got one
of them on Steve's say. You know he always steps
up to Maudi Boats. Yeah, he's the one that bought

(21:08):
Frank Crpedo's company. Steves say, ski A, why I think,
let's say we would like to donate the team to
players from Camp Hope. We are currently building the one
thousandth Maudi boat.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
About that.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Maunday boats are boats built to go into very shallow water.
They're built in Port Ransas or Port Levaca. I forget it.
Frank had a place in Port Ransas and they built
him in Port Lavaca. Or he had a place in
Port Lavaca and they build him in Port of Ransas.
It's a it's a Texas based, very small custom built

(21:42):
boat company. No, you can't afford there. I don't know,
maybe one hundred grand, but there they build them custom.
You order it and then they make it right there
on site. Maudy was this guy that Frank knew that
was a was an engineer and he couldn't find a boat.
He's a fisherman, couldn't find a boat that hit his desires.

(22:06):
So he designed it and built it himself.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
All right.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Victor on the Blind Line Europe, Sir seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand, go ahead, Hi, Mike.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
I've had a rough summer. I had back surgery. I
was in and out of various hospitals rehab center, and
I would bring my tablet with me so I could
listen to you in the evenings. And some of the
nurses told me that they were going to vote for Trump,
but don't tell anybody because they were afraid to get fired.

(22:39):
And they asked me questions about, you know, being blind
in everything. And one of them asked me, well, do
you cook? And I said, yeah, a little bit. Learned
how to cook steaks and chop stuff like that and
do it a little bit differently. I asked for extra
fat so when I hear at sizzle, can flip it.

(23:01):
And then for the veggies, I get the ones in
the bag, but I tear the bag open and put
it in a container frozen so I can microwave it
without burning myself when I'm trying to open the bag.
You know when it's cooked. So I do things a
little bit differently. But I always had trouble with the left.

(23:23):
They're always saying, you know stuff like, oh, you shouldn't cook,
you might burn yourself. Stuff like that. Now, one of
your listeners, Robert, he submits a recipe each month on
a magazine that we both subscribe to. He cooks a
lot more than I do, and he's telling me, you

(23:45):
know how to do you know certain things, and I'm
going to give it a shot when I feel a
lot better.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Sounds like I'm playing Victor. Great to hear from you,
brother Ambrosio. You're on the Michael Berry Show. What say you, sir, Mike?

Speaker 8 (24:01):
I want to share some good news.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Man.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
I'm a small business owner. Well you know you hear
you enough. You're almost like this is a friend. Okay,
that's how we roll, right. So I'm a small business owner.
I have a business call death Legacy. What happened for
me was that I got a phone call from the

(24:24):
owner of one of my clients called me and said, Jeff,
we have as you know, we were looking at buying
a brand new building. We want to keep your services now,
but we want What we want to tell you is
that because now these elections have gone our way, your
revenue is about to double. I looked at my wife

(24:44):
and We definitely celebrated. We're up to about two o'clock
in the morning listening to the election.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Hold on.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Tell you our show sponsors last night, probably twenty to
thirty of them came up and said, our orders are.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Through the roof.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
People are people are making calls. They didn't do it
the day after they started them on Thursday. We're America's backs.
Don't be a free look at us. We're up to
two already. Steve Shay with Maudy Boats and my old

(25:22):
friend Kirk van Hook of Cindy van Hook fame the
owner of Bauer Sports Floors. Do you know what he does?
They do the hardwood floors for gyms, for basketball gyms,
and so he came, they come on all our trips.
I think this was at mar A Lago and could
have been Askeden, but I think it was mar A Lago.

(25:42):
And he said, I said, Kirk, if you already do
hardwood floors, why don't you do hardwood floors in houses.
There's a lot more houses than basketball gyms. And he says,
a totally different process, and not to diminish it, but
there's lots of people that do hardwood floors in houses.
It's a specialized skill set to do hardwood floors for

(26:06):
basketball gyms. So we have all the work we can
handle doing high school, college, church basketball gym hardwood floors.
So for us to try to expand beyond that, I'd
have to hire more people. And you know it just
and it's you know, I run this thing. I'm outbidding.
Every job just doesn't make sense. So anyway, so we're

(26:27):
one tenth of the way there for two out of twenty. No,
you don't have to cook brisk would you cook briskets
for Bidle's sign up? No, because then if I do
it and then they ask for it, you'll complain, and
I just I just don't like complaining. All right, Let's
go back to Ambrosio real quick. So tell me what

(26:48):
your business is real quick. You kind of swallowed that
something legacy or something.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
Shall I have a catering business called a chef's legacy.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Oh you've called before, Yes, sir, you got daughters. I think.

Speaker 8 (27:03):
I have one daughter. You told me if you're thirteen,
then you told.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Her you wanted to leave her something, that you were
doing this for her. I remember this story. It's been
several years ago. Yeah, okay, all right, and so so
you do a you have a corporate account and they
told you that you're about to double your business because
Trump won and things are good. Yes, that's fantastic. And Rosie,

(27:30):
we had our sponsor event last night and I had
people come up and say, Michael, you were talking about
people having people holding back on making big purchases, and
just so you know we're hearing from people. It didn't
happen the morning after, so Tuesday night elections. People did

(27:51):
not call on Wednesday and say, Hey, Lewis Flory, can
you come out and take down these three trees? Or
hey dth dot com, Mike Figan, can you build us
a new home? Or hey Republic Grand Ranch. We're coming
out this weekend. We'd like to buy a house, or
we'd like to buy a home site and build our
dream home. Michael Berry's been talking about that didn't happen
on Wednesday, But mid morning on Thursday something happened. I

(28:14):
guess Wednesday people were hungover, They're back to work by Thursday,
the things they'd been putting on. They started calling. And
I appreciate you calling our show sponsors because that supports
our cause and they're good people. So let's go to Shane. Shane.

(28:35):
You're on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Go ahead, yes, sir, Michael.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
Yeah, I just found I saw something a little frustrating.

Speaker 7 (28:43):
Yesterday.

Speaker 10 (28:44):
I had a former colleague on Facebook. Obviously she you
know her and I used to go around around. She's
very liberal and we're good friends. But she posted some
pictures and pointed out some things about some idiots that
showed up on the campus of Southwest Texas or Texas State,
uh yesterday or day before or something. And these idiots
brought a bunch of terrible signs, and you know, I

(29:06):
think they were there to get attention. I don't even
know if they were actual students, but the campus let them,
uh do their nonsense and you know, with a bunch
of stupid signs like women are property and animals or
property and you know, homosexually as you know, hombo's are
going to die and all those all the nonsense you
would you know, those Westgate kind of uh church people
would would do sometimes, but not to give these people

(29:28):
any more attention. But what disturbed me is she compared
those idiots and and their attention getting stunt there to
Trump supporters. She immediately equated, you know. She went into
these people and then immediately started in about how if
you voted for Trump, you're you basically equated to this. Yeah,

(29:49):
and it disturbed me so much, and I had it.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I was this person that that said this. Again. I
didn't get her role in this.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
Yeah, she's just a former colleague. I used to work
with your friend, you know, and it's just.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Somebody you're upset. But it helped me. How did she
communicate with you?

Speaker 6 (30:08):
She didn't. She's posted on Facebook and.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
You follow her.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
I just saw it.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
She didn't. Yeah, yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Okay, not anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I got it, and I understand your frustration. But I'm
going to tell you what I tell everybody, because everybody,
you don't realize how much it piles up. So I
get a lot of it. Everybody comes to me, and
it goes like this, Hey, Michael, I went down to
the sewage plant and I crawled a shimmy down and

(30:37):
I got down there to wear. All the poop piles up,
and they filtered out, you know, and the water goes
over here, and that goes to water treatment and that
gets recycled off, and then all the trash goes over
to here, and then there's just one spot over there
and it's just piles and piles and piles of poop.
It's just a mile high and it's poop. And I

(30:57):
got I got down in there and I I put
my head way up in it where I could barely
even breathe, and it was just poop all around me.
It was everywhere with poop, and Michael, I'm gonna tell
you something. It was awful. It smelled terrible and it
was just poop everywhere. And three hours later I finally said,

(31:19):
I'm going home. It's just I'm so mad about it.
It was horrible, Michael. Why'd you do that again? Why'd
you stay there? So nobody wants to hear this, but
I'm going to say it because it needs to be said.
Social media can be a wonderful thing and it can

(31:42):
be a horrible thing. And here's the part nobody wants
to hear, and which one it is is completely up
to you, completely. Marriage can be the best thing you've
ever done for your life, or it can be the
worst living hell on earth Dante's Inferno, And it's all

(32:07):
up to you. Now, you don't control what the other
person does, but you control how you react to that
on what you do as a result of it. Your
job can be the most fulfilling thing in your life,
or it can be a living hell that you dread
twenty four to seven.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
And that is up to you.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Now, many people, when I tell them this was, I know,
you don't understand agency, you don't understand accountability, you don't
understand taking control of your own life. Social media is
an opportunity to interact with other people. Choose who you
interact with. If you go down to the sewage plant,

(32:52):
you stick your head into pile of poop, they don't actually.
