Oh the listener of irusman Cameron Mitchell, US military veteran.
After he completed his service, he became a professor at

(05:16):
the University of Houston. Cameron Mitchell and he passed and
the order to his estate was how to distribute his assets,
and he had dedicated two hundred and thirty thousand dollars
to Hope of his estate, and so David Maulsby was

(05:39):
set to drive to Belleville and receive the gift at
the BFW Paul at their meeting on behalf of Camp Hope.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
And I had forwarded it to Russell Lebar as.

Cody Vasik's placed there in Belleville a restaurant on the

It was a good thing. It was a It was
a wonderful thing. Twenty two North Holland. Where did I
get ninety six sixty? I'm not Cray Cray, but I

(06:41):
can't remember what it. I don't know where I got
twenty two North Holland. That's it. That sounds like a
movie or something, doesn't it.

Speaker 9 (06:51):
Me too.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Isn't there a famous address on North Holland in in
uh Los Angeles? Why do I think that? Huh, mullhaul
and drive. That's what I'm talking about, Tom Petty saying
about it, So did everybody else. We went by and

(07:13):
visited the Italian vin Santo yesterday. That was a nice
little place, wasn't it. Ramona asked me this morning, you

(07:34):
think I could take my kids there? I think it'd
be weird to take your kids into a very adult
wine bar. But you know, if you want to do it,
that's a good question. I don't know that your kids
have good taste of wine. Oh well, you know, hey,
if I can appreciate a good wine, that's very European

(07:54):
of you. I'm always amused when white American we'll talk
about Europe. You know, in Europe they don't.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Drink like here.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
They you know that, even their kids will you know,
they just they have a little drink and and you
know they don't drink to get drunk and act stupid.
You know, you Germany or England, you know they don't really.
Well I've lived there, have you, because I can tell
you this. It's as dangerous as downtown Detroit, to walk

(08:27):
along an English street at ten o'clock at night after
a soccer game lets out. I can guarantee you it's
called getting pissed, where they get drunk and these hudlums,
white hudlums go out looking for a fight. They're used to.
It's all pakistins now, but back in those days, and
they are they are brewing for a fight, I'm telling you.

(08:47):
And they are drunk. You just didn't see it when
you were on vacation.

Speaker 10 (08:56):
Time.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
The sleepy heads out of bed, get them fed, get
them rested up, get your stuff in the truck, blow
them both. The kids when you drop them all by
kids by kids on you've got a chimney sweep Mondays.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Since I had.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Break, I need somebody to check our fireplace. There's a
guy over on fifty nine called fireplace man. I think
he's got a guy that doesn't. I wonder what percentage
of people have their fireplace checked out before they fired
up for the not zero? No, there's some people. Emily's

(09:38):
been obsessing over it the last couple of days. I
don't know what you got to be in her bonnet
over it, and her next door neighbors fired up their
fireplace and they didn't have it checked, and so she
said she was willing to pay to have their fireplace
check because they share an adjoining wall. And I said, well,
they have a firewall in between. She said, I'd just rather,
you know, I'd just rather know that they're fire places checked.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's that's when you're getting to the point of an
obsession that you're willing to pay for your neighbor's fireplace
to be checked just because you're so afraid they're going
to burn your place down. Yeah, they're probably busy this
time of year, though, you know, there's you know, hey,
what does your son Dwayne do well? Dwayne slow? Oh

(10:22):
he is? Yeah, yeah, does he have a job? You
pick up odds and ends oddly enough at at Christmas.
He gets busy because he's a chimney sweep, old fashioned
you know, Dick Van Dyke chimney sweep, you know, jim
chimminey chim chimminy chim chim cherue kind of thing. And
that's what he humps while he's working. But he's is,

(10:42):
he is, he busy. He's probably got I don't know,
forty houses he'll go out to and Uh, and he's
actually pretty good at it. He you know, he reads
the websites and stays up on all the you know,
newest form of kreosote and sew it and uh, you know,
the latest developments in in accumulation and removal and and everything.

(11:02):
So how much he get paid at per day? I
don't I don't know, but you know it look it
keeps him busy. But he doesn't even drive, does he. No,
he rides a bus. He got a whole. He got
it like a Duffel bag, and he puts all his
his gear and he enjoys it.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now when he comes home, he looks like he's been
working in a carbon black plant. But the way I
look at it is it keeps him busy. Yeah, yeah,
keeps him busy. Bill, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
What you got, sir? Bill?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Bill?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Fat fingered the mute button? Seven one three nine nine
one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand?
Is it raining? Bill? You don't have Bill? We didn't

(12:00):
play that. We can review yet, seven thousand to get
a start, as we always do. Courtesy the greatest executive
producer in all the land, Chatt Cooney, Nakanishi, the hell
was that? Oh my god, you didn't have Chad Donger ready.
Tell me when you're ready. Okay, are you sure because

(12:23):
it's weird? Yeah, okay, here we go. Rewind. Rewind the tape, folks,
rewind the tape, take two and to get a start,
as we always do, courtesy the greatest executive producer in
all the land, Chattacony Nakanishi. You're a weekend review.

Speaker 11 (12:46):
Talk about the lane.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Totally can change it if you want.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I don't care.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
It's up to you.

Speaker 12 (12:51):
I can live with it if you can suit yourself.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Boy, of those vocals, I'm a dude. I don't normally
like women lead singers. I have to just stand in
awe of her voice. And who does is mesmerize.

Speaker 11 (13:11):
The jury has reached a unanimous verdict in the case
of Daniel Penning not guilty, not guilty on the charge
of criminally negligent homicide.

Speaker 12 (13:19):
America hate black people? Can we see it from that jury?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
We need some black vigilities, right, people want to jump
up and choke us. How about we do the same.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
And this is what they want. They want the race war.
Every person in America understands what's happening?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
A former Houston urban park langer back in custody, this
time under federal indictat.

Speaker 10 (13:41):
Ellis is accused of violating his victim's rights after investigators
say he would force men to strip in the parks
he was patrolling, and in some cases would have them
perform sex acts on him. Prosecutors say these alleged incidents
happened in city parks where usually gay men are known.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
To me, I actually had an encounter with this guy.
I thought he just didn't like it. I was jogging
Memorial Park. That dude, Joey Ellis was standing there and
I go past, and he mutters under his breath.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
What an ass? Little did I know.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Ramon Quick, the Houston icon who was recovering after surgery.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
Doctress Mack is on the road to recovery.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
The owner of Gallery Furniture had open heart surgery.

Speaker 10 (14:21):
Doctor ed, you told me don't look at the cary
you too much.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
But I'm grateful to have a great doctors and great care.
Though I'm good.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
A lot of folks who we've been out here praying
for your successful surgery and now your recovery, and we
know you'll be back sooner than have it.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
We love you, budd.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm glad Chad caught my wed an asked joke because
I was so proud of that joke because you didn't laugh,
and nobody commented on it. You know, we started that
we can review or Chad did with my Karen Carpenter comments,
and several of you come in and worth noting that
she was apparently a phenomenal drummer, as in there were

(15:23):
classic rock bands who remarked upon seeing her drum that
she was not just for a girl, she was a drummer,
a real good drummer period. Can you can you rewind
to the black dude saying we've got a hells some
black d laddies. He sounds like he's out of fat

(15:47):
Albert that guy. It sounds like me making fun of
some BLM dude or some you know, race Bader. You
can't believe.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
He's really we've got a good off something now or
Virgilian is that's black?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
What we got to do?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
That's really? You really talk like that. See if you
can find it's pretty early on you got it. You
can just play it and we'll tell you where it is.
We know where it is.

Speaker 11 (16:13):
In the case of Daniel Pennay not guilty, not guilty
on the charge of criminally negligent homicide.

Speaker 12 (16:19):
America hates black people, and we see it from that jury.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
We need something black rigilities.

Speaker 12 (16:27):
America hates black people, and we see it from that jury.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
We need something black rigilities.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
He says a little more.

Speaker 11 (16:38):
I think on the charge of criminally negligent homicide.

Speaker 12 (16:41):
America hates black people, and we see it from that jury.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
We need something blackglities. People want to jump up and
choke us, how.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
About and this is what they want. They want the
race war. Yeah, why don't you try to jump up
and choke somebody fat? So, why don't you do that?
You'd be like the dude that was selling singles in
New York. Remember the guy he'd buy a pack huh Lucy's. Yeah,
he'd buy a pack of cigarettes and stand at the

(17:12):
corner of the convenience store and he'd sell each one individually,
because you know, if you need a cigarette real bad,
but you don't have enough for a pack, you'd pay
old boy for you know, a fifty percent mark up
on a Lucy. And the cops come up on him.

(17:33):
He's wearing no shoes, bad as a hog, and they
come up on him, and then they try to take
him into custody and he strokes out and dies right
there on the spot, and they murdered him. They murdered it.
They didn't murder him. He died of his own accord.
He murdered himself on grease and cholesterol. They didn't murder him.

(17:59):
I actually just me. I actually think it's a stupid
reason to arrest somebody, and I think it's yet another
example of a police state gone too far. But nobody
murdered the fat bastard. He kind of slowly but surely
killed himself. But it was kind of funny, fat dude
on the corner of his barefoot. But that's how I

(18:20):
imagine he talked.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
It's a.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Very show, Michael Vary.

Speaker 7 (18:46):
I got one.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Hundred dollars walking in my bill.

Speaker 13 (18:50):
I know how you're doing. This is Shirley cue lickor good.
Everything had got to the print now to where you
have to be so politically correct about it, like I
had to rewrite my songs. I'm dreaming of a black.

Speaker 14 (19:07):
Quanza, just like the one in our formerly economically underserved
development community where my domesticated mother and em would sit
up there and cook vegetarian things for all of us
to eat, and father was spending quality time beating our ass.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
What the truth is.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
You're not lying about that, but.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Reading us stories.

Speaker 14 (19:33):
I'm dreaming of the sixteen year Clifford go Ad demonstration
that was a damn nightmare that was horrible for us,
and the elections that always favor demo crack.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
That's what we need.

Speaker 14 (19:49):
With my aunt t andem served dinner with her lesbian,
domesticated partner and it was a tobacco free black Kwansa
had my own embarrassed rainbow entities. That's so ignorantly well,
I hope you have my happy quins headed my sugar

(20:10):
dream on.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Uh. Guy that I know that has a distribution company
I talked to about a week ago, there were several
of us sitting around and he said, well, I said,
everybody tell something interesting to the group that you can't

(20:39):
like an AA meeting. That's tell something interesting to the
group that you can't really tell anybody at work or church.
It can be off color, it can be awkward, it
can you know whatever that thing is. So this guy,
who I didn't know very well, says, well, I got
a woman that works for me. She's a black lesbian

(21:08):
and she has four kids, and we all just kind
of sat. Everybody's waiting, you know, on the punchline, so
I couldn't help it. I said, well, what does she do?
She drives a forklift. She's a black lesbian with four kids,

(21:33):
and she drives a forklift. Wouldn't you like to have
beers with that woman? She's got some stories to tell.
I guarantee you she has got some stories to tell. Eric,
you're old the Michael Berry Show. What say you, sir?
Something's wrong with our phones? That's now it's on you, Ramon.

(21:55):
It didn't test the phone lines this morning. I'm gonna
get about thirty emails. Your phone system is always down.
You're the only person I've ever heard your phone system
doesn't work half the time. It's you. Something's wrong with
your phone system. Well, I'm going to tell you again.
I actually thought I hated our phone system when we

(22:17):
were at the studios, and I would always bitch and
Bob Stroop's job is to install phone systems that work
and don't break. But I thought, oh, we ought to
be able to operate the phone systems from anywhere in
the world. They should be web based. So I make
all these calls. I call every talk show host in
the top ten in the country, what phone system do

(22:39):
you use? I call a head of Talkers Magazine, the
Bible of talk radio. I'm checking with every I'm talking
to engineers, and I'm going to show Stroop We're gonna
have the best phone system ever. And it's not even
gonna be hardwired. It's gonna be all web based. And
Stroop's going to have to bow before me that I
have the best phone system ever. And here we are,

(23:01):
what two or three years later, and I go, hey, Stroop,
you were right. I should have just gone with the
tee los hardwired stupid bone system like we had before,
because at least it always worked. Are you able to
get them up? No, you have to restart it. Oh wow,

(23:21):
that's that sounds like some very interesting Uh yeah, Well
while you're doing that, did I mention that everybody should
watch Landman? Land Man is fantastic. Taylor Sheridan's a genius.
There's a there's some moments in land Man that I
kind of I'm annoyed by because it's sort of like, oh,

(23:43):
inter pretty girl, you're supposed to be extremely distracted by
how pretty she is. And I'm thinking, this is so trite.
I'm better than this. You're gonna she's so like some
people are disturbingly pretty, and you can't have that person

(24:04):
play a serious role, Like really, you're gonna be the
high powered attorney and you're a complete knockout, and you
expect me to buy into this character. This is the
worst casting ever. She should kind of grow on you, right.
You shouldn't even notice she's attractive, Like Beth in Yellowstone,

(24:27):
some dudes get into her because I think they like
her fighting or something. You know, some guys are into that.
But you never look at Beth and go, she's attractive.
When she first came on the scene, the first time
she walked in, long before Rip and all that, you
didn't think to yourself, Wow, she's hot. I'm looking forward
to her being on the screen. You could just tell

(24:47):
she was a mess. And everybody knows a wreck of
a woman like that, a hysterical kind of crazy. You
didn't know she was so violent then, but everybody knows
that kind of woman. And as long as you're not
married to that woman, know you can have some fun
with it. You can find it funny, and you know,
you want to hear the stories and all of that.
The problem. The problem is and so over time you're like, oh,

(25:12):
she got with rip and that's good, and you know
she she sort of grows on you. But this woman
in Landman that plays the lawyer, she is disturbingly good looking,
and her makeup is always perfect, which that's not realistic,
and they're always doing close up on hers, close ups
on her and Verman. I don't want to make this creepy,

(25:34):
but I like her teeth. I don't know why. I
don't know why I like her teeth. She has nice
she has she has nice. I don't require perfectly straight
teeth because I don't know if her teeth or crooked
or whatever. But they do really tight close ups. That's
that's something I've noticed they do on this show. It's
kind of a distinctive element. And she has freckles and

(25:55):
I've never I never knew that I like freckles, but
I like her freckles. Did you notice I haven't seen it.
Give me see.

Speaker 9 (26:02):
Can can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah? I can hear you. Okay, I was just testing
the phones. We're good, okay, But what about the collars.

Speaker 9 (26:12):
Well, we'll get to them.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
You still haven't seen I can't understand. Did you see
lamb Man or not? No?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Hey, this Tracy.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Bird and I tipped my hand to the keeper of
the Star.

Speaker 9 (26:29):
And the Chimney sweep wood.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
When there's hardly no day, nordly no night, there's things
off the shadow.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
And off way in white on the rooftops of London. Cool,
what a sight.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
That's a good ass.

Speaker 8 (26:59):
Me Chim Jiminy Chim jiminy Chim Chimsery.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
She don't need it.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
You're right, she don't need it.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
She's trying to get competitive. No where is their am
happy cups Jim Jimmy Chery, Jimmy, the Sherman brothers. I
think it's Richard and Roberts that wrote this and this
whole musical and most everything else at Disney. Did their

(27:28):
body of work is you know, if you were to
break down your life into its components, the parts you
can't see your brain, and you were to just say,
all right, here are my influences in life, there's a
lot of things that you think would be really important, like, oh,

(27:50):
I bet death leopards thirteen percent. No, No, death leopards
is less than one percent. There are certain people who
have had an influence on your life. You're you're developing
brain at the time, and the Sherman Brothers and all
of their songs. You know, when you when you think

(28:13):
about your cartoons, your Bugs Bunny and Wylie Coyote, that
has way more You will never see the word actme
and and not think of that, even if you don't
consciously think of it. Your brain goes there, But you
think about Elmer Fudd. How much of our view of

(28:34):
things is is informed by our brain developing on those
sorts of things. And once it's wired that way. Every
time you see Tim Waltz with the jazz hands and
and the latent homosexuality maybe latent, we don't know, you
know out you know the I'm going to show you
all how to hunt because I'm going to be a man.

(28:55):
You're gonna want to vote for me. Your brain goes
to Elmer Fudd. You know, you got be real quiet
and and uh, what was the putty tat? What was
the what a tweety? And Sylvester and Mary Poppins At
least for my generation, Mary Poppins and Chim chimminey Chim

(29:17):
Chim true Dick Van dyke Man. You talk about a
guy with some talent, wow, he is Uh. Every time
I bring up who was the one I brought up
the other day, and people bring up Hugh Jackman, I don't.
I haven't watched anything Hugh Jackman was in. But I
understand he's kind of from that. He's built on that chassis.
He's got a lot of the sort of classical talents.

(29:41):
But who were we talking about the other day that
I declared was the greatest? Do you remember? Huh?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (29:49):
What?

Speaker 2 (29:51):
No, it wasn't Fred Astaire stage actor. It was somebody
that has started on the stage. And then he oh, oh,
I know who it was. It was the dad in
Dirty Dancing. I will have y'all know that we went

(30:12):
to Vincanto last night, and this is for all y'all
that think that Ramone's such a nice guy. We went
and my only rule with my wife is that I
not drive, so Ramone brought me there and my buddy
Michael Robinson, the Aggie plumber, drove me home. And we
had some friends that all gathered last night and we

(30:35):
hung out with the Italian at Vincanto. Oss that and
at some point because he thinks he's funny, but I
didn't realize that I was the butt of this joke.
Ramone decided that it would be good for Oh, Patrick
Swayze is who we were talking about. That's who I
was originally talking about. Ramone decided it would be good
for me to stand up and do the scene where

(30:57):
Patrick Swayze walks up to Jennifer Gray, and because I
had described it the week before and he goads me
into doing it, and I had had a glass or
tin of wine, and so in front of this whole restaurant,
I get up and do my Patrick swayzey, you know,
where he's down load to the ground. And the worst

(31:20):
part is at that moment, at that exact moment, I
thought it was a good idea to do. I think, yeah,
I did it pretty good, And if I may say
to myself, I did thank you. I looked pretty much
like him, because that's a hard move to pull off.
You know, you got to get down load to the ground,
your shoulders are very prominent, you know, and you're kind

(31:40):
of swaying back and forth without any classical dance background.
I felt like I pulled that move off pretty well. Bill,
You're on the Michael Berry Show. What you got.

Speaker 9 (31:51):
Well, I would like to give a shout out.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
We don't really do shout outs per se, but you
can do a point of special recognition unless you're black.

Speaker 9 (32:06):
Ah point special recognition, Okay for Yeah, I've got a nice,
nice roof over my head thanks to Peter Brown. And
his price was reasonable and they put it in real fast.

(32:28):
And I'm really thankful I got the name from you,
and I mentioned that when I called him.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
That's awesome. I'm glad that I get a lot of
very positive feedback. We are trying to track down a
chimney sweep by the name of Billy Little. There's a
picture of him and his way. He wears the Dick
Van Dyke hat, which I like. He's all, if you're
going to be a chimney sweep, you need to wear
the outfit. In my opinion, you shouldn't just show up

(32:59):
like you know, you just got off, you know, walking
