It's that time time time, luck and load. The Michael
Very Show is on the air.

Good morning, Michael, good morning, are ooh you?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is the mucho man, Randy seven seeing.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Good morning, Michael Beard, Good morning Texas.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Listen to the good morning Texas.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh morning, your car, Good morning in Texas.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Brone is on his day and we're happy.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
To be here to talk about everything. Hey, good morning,
We're not wearing pants. Good morning Texas, Good morning Texas,
good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Wake up that speak, goddamn good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Getting a little cooler ramon, Oh boy, this is when
I like it. Get rid of that edge of that heat. Man,
it is hard to be in a good mood with
that damn heat. You gotta work at it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Wow as it.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Starts cooling like this, boy, I.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Like this a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
I like this a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
We uh.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Today is the first day that we are trying out
our new phone system. This has been months in the making,
one of those goofy things I do. We started the
business with what's called a T lost T E l
OS phone system, which is what every which is what
most of the big radio companies.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
It was the system that they used.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And I focused on the ten things it didn't do
that I wanted it to do, and I would get
aggravated at our engineer, Bob Strup, whose job it was
to keep us on the radios. The job was not
to make me happy, and so his job was to
keep things from fall topart. Well, I would constantly make
mental note of all the things I didn't like about
(02:33):
our phone system, and one day, one day I would
have my own studio and I would build my own
phone system and it would be just to my liking. Well,
fast forward to a few years ago, and we start
in our new studio and I am going to do
the system that I so I talk to people all
over the country that do what we do, other talk
(02:54):
show hosts, and I arrive on a web based platform,
and it's going to be it. When I'm traveling, I
can just log in. I can take calls right there
from the spot, drop a call, put it on hold,
the whole thing. Well, as you might imagine, that did
not work out very well, and it was glitchy, and
(03:15):
it has affected our phone call ability and I enjoy
taking calls on the show. So we finally broke down
and at the beginning of this year made the decision
that we were going to transfer over just not a
small matter, because you have to do this while you're
also still doing shows. And that has been bit by
(03:36):
bit by bit. And they flipped the switch our engineer
yesterday or last night, and we shall see. So today
will be interesting. At some point I'll open the phone lines,
you know, maybe we'll open the phone lines now in
case somebody needs to call in and will that will
be our opportunity to start taking calls and working through
(03:57):
that system, because I'm probably going to goof it up
in one way or another. So much to talk about today.
So much is happening.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Tell you what.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I wish we had more time for Trump, but I
think also the artificially constricted time forces him to have
to do more and do it fast. We'll get into
some of what they're doing. The government is officially shut down.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I don't know if you've noticed. I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Much that's affecting your life. Just so you know, the
government is shut down. You can spew it, you can speed,
you do whatever you want wrong, nobody can stop you.
So you're supposed to care, but nobody actually cares except
the media and the politicians. For whom we're all supposed
(04:47):
to be really invested in this game of chicken.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You can be if you want to, all right. During
the halftime show between two historically black colleges and universities,
Florida A and M University and Alabama State University, there
were some girls on the dance team for one of
the schools, which was Alabama State.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And those girls are big girls.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
When I say big girls, I don't mean they're carrying
a few extra pounds. These girls are three and a
half bills.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
On the hoof. They are big girls.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I mean really big, like Lizo big without playing the flute.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
These are big girls.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And the announcer for Florida A and M University as
the girls came out, and I can't begin to tell
you how big these You'd have to see the picture
to go, oh, okay, all right right, The announcer for
Alabama State University, I'm sorry. The announcer for Florida A
and M University refers to the Alabama State University's dance
(06:01):
team as they quote new face of Ozimpic and now
the media, Oh, they're all so upset. They're body shaming.
The Alabama State president oh that both of the presidents
of the university's Oh, they're so sorry, this as horrible
as we can have this. And the big girls, the
big girls, here's what he said.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Congratulate them.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Then now the new face of O.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Oh no he didn't, Yes, he did.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I mean, in fairness, it probably wouldn't hurt somebody to
take a shot or two of the big old in
this case, there's some big girls, some very very big girls.
Rom I don't know if you're getting the point either
a big girl, there's some big girls. You would not
want don Amos to describe these girls. Or the Rutgers
(07:10):
University women's basketball team story about the the guy whose
girlfriend dog. His girlfriend's dog died, so he got her
another one and they asked him why, and he said.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, what's she gonna never? I can't do it. I
can't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I can't do it. I'll come back. I'll have to
come back on that one a moment. All the while,
Pete Hegseath has brought the generals from around the world
back to home base, back to headquarters, and the media
was writing about it. Oh my goodness, this is this
is Hitler. This is Hitler. He's bringing all the the
(07:54):
generals in. This is definitely Hitler. Remember Hitler did this.
Oh he's drinking water. Remember Hitler drank water. Well, he's
got a dog. Hitler drankle. Hitler had a dog. So
he brings the generals and top officers in and he says, look,
we're not gonna play those games anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're not doing woke. We're not gonna have big.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Old, fat, pot bellied Florida State dancers on in our military.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We're cleaning it all up.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And I'm here for HS, the Four Hour System from
The Michael Verry Show, and other leading companies.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
On this day.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
In nineteen sixty two, the Beach Boys released their first album,
Surfing Safari, which includes their debut single, Surfing. The album
would climb to number thirty two in the United States,
and they would never be heard from again.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think that's their only song about surfing. Isn't it cool?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Here we goes, it's the Maiden Boys. Okay, y'all, don't
try this at home. Don't try this at home.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Russell, you're on to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Good more than Michael. I was just wondering the story
seems to have disappeared. I haven't heard anything about it lately,
about Sean P. Diddler or Combs or is he still
in jail or what.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I presume.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So it's uh, I don't know that nobody talks about
that story anymore. For whatever reason, myself included, people just
kind of lost interest in that case.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with him running away, but
I just I just I wonder why it's It just
seems to have fallen off the radar. So I don't know,
all right, That's all I got.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, I actually honestly think it fell off the radar
because people stopped caring. I don't know, you know, We've
had this conversation internally. I just at some point just
completely turned that whole case off. Well, in the middle
of the trial, I just lost interest. It's rather telling, though,
(10:13):
it is rather telling. It is bigger than Sean Combs.
It speaks a lot to that industry of celebrity, and
it's not limited to music, you know. I think it
(10:33):
was probably more out in the open and more perhaps
more pervasive, in the black entertainment circle. If you look
at who was showing up at his parties. And this
does not necessarily mean that they participated, but if you
look at people who were confirmed to be showing up
at his self described freak golf parties, the White Party
(11:00):
they called, everybody were white, which would be inconvenient because
I'm guessing there were a lot of things sloshing around
that would show up more on against a white background.
You wonder why they didn't wear all black, but we'll
leave that aside. Maybe this was to represent the purity
(11:20):
of the matter, but it was clear there were a
number of people who felt that they had to be
butt raped by Sean Combs, p Diddy, Puffy, whatever name
you want to use for him, in order to advance
(11:41):
in their careers.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I don't think this is the.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
First time that's ever happened in any industry. What's amazing
is how widely known and seemingly accepted this whole practice was,
and how many people were involved in this bacchanalien debauchery.
These parties were attended by people with very, very public,
(12:09):
prominent reputations and images, and it would appear to be
the case that it was, for all intents and purposes,
one big orgy, much of it, if not non consensual,
then certainly disturbing, involving underage individuals. And involving a number
(12:37):
of people who later would claim that they did not
willingly participate, at least not to the extent that it occurred.
And the central theme was a lot about rape.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
There was.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know, we can talk about who was there and
how often the parties were being held, and how many
people and how much sex. But but the thing that
keeps coming out a lot Ramon is a lot of
butt rape, a lot a lot of dudes being butt
(13:14):
raped by shun Combs that that is apparently a big,
big deal for him. There's also battery of women, a
number of assaults. There are a lot of allegations, and
I think a lot of I think a lot of
money change stands. I think some lawyers got rich off
of this case alone. He was, after all, a billionaire.
(13:37):
There was a lot of legitimate money that was that
was in his possessions, in his possession. You know, it's
interesting how little bitty tidbits are what we latch onto.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You remember the woman who drove to Florida to kill
her arrival.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The thing I and everybody else remember from that case
is the diapers. Remember, I mean, that's some diabolical stuff there.
So if I told you you know, she's going to
load up the car drive to Florida to kill her rival,
this astronaut. Yeah that's pretty crazy. But what are we
(14:18):
having for lunch?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Right? But but.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
In order to avoid stopping on the way, she went
to a CBS and got a box of diapers maybe
depends or whatever it is, and she put those on
so that she could just keep driving because she didn't
want to have to pull over. Pe I mean, she
(14:44):
needed to kill that person so bad she didn't want
to have to pull over.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
P wow.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That that okay, that the diapers is what got you.
But yeah, they didn't have BUCkies back then. You're right,
that's a good point. They didn't bunkies. She could have
got beaver nuggets. Of course, beaver nuggs. My little tummy
does not do well with beaver nuggets, because if I
eat beaver nuggets and didn't blow, I'll be blowing dirt halfway,
(15:13):
you know, just past New Orleans. I'd be over near
Santamo and it would not be pretty. Yeah, So I mean,
you gotta be careful, you know how you how you
tummy tolerates all those things.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But be that as it may.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Uh, it was the diapers well, I think the baby
oil was the deal that really got people in the uh,
the the Puffy Combs story, because I think it's hard
for us to hold on to the details. We got
so much noise out there, so many stories foma look
over here right out every day, I get hundreds of
(15:51):
emails to go, how come nobody's talking about and then
you fill in the blank, Well, hell, when would they?
We've only got so much time. When are people gonna
have all these conversations you want them to have. It's
hard to get people's attention.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
It's just hard. But there's just no way around that.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Buddy's girlfriend, but his girlfriend's dog died, so he got
her another one. She's gonna do with two dead dogs.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
John writers the Michael Verie showy.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Maybe Mars comic values a million dollar record sale home now.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, he was twenty twenty three and into twenty twenty four,
John Cornyn was on record Donald Trump should not run
for president, which would mean he shouldn't be our president now.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Look it up.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Multiple articles, multiple times, John Cornyn said Donald Trump should
not run present. He should not be our nominee. He's
too divisive, he can't win. I don't think Texans are
going to forget that. But of course Trump did run
(17:16):
and he did win, and he despises John Cornyn, and
not that it matters, Cornyn also hates him. So what's
Cornin doing now that it's time to come back to
you and seek six more years to cut deals with
the Democrats? Why he's telling you how much he and
(17:37):
Trump are best friends, they love each other. I mean,
he's with Trump ninety nine percent of the time. Well,
ninety nine percent of the votes are what to name
the post office in Waco, and it's the guy who
was really popular there in town. And you can agree
(17:58):
on that all the time. Every time, it's not until
something really matters the president needs your vote that you
breaking with him makes the base so angry. John Cornyn
might could win a general because the Democrats would hope
for him and be Dade failing all over again. But
this time we're not going to do that. We're going
to be in the Republican primary. So what are Karl
(18:20):
Rove and the boys in DC doing to make sure
that their swamp creature.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Stays in office.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, as you might imagine, they're running ads and they're
telling you Ken.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Paston's not a good guy. I don't need a good guy.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Ken Passton got a divorce, Okay, so did a lot
of people.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Ken Pashton. He gets into arguments for people.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, okay, I need him to be a senator. I
really don't need him to lead to local boy scouts.
What are you saying, Ken Paston? He's he makes waves
with everything he does and makes people angry. Yeah, that's
what I want him to do. This what Trump does too,
Ken Paston. He's not like John Cornyan. Yeah, I know exactly.
(19:14):
That's the point we're making here. Well, John Cornyan, like
you the music, Soaring Eagles, John Corny, John Wayne mccornyn.
He's a good man's He gets his shoes polished properly,
gets his nails, his hoofs and and his paws and claws.
He gets them all done nice, like he gets his
(19:35):
hair cut downstairs in the Senate. Yeah, he's a man
of power. He strives through the Capitol. He's respected, He's
got his tie tied properly, he's wearing the proper suit.
He stands up straight, and he says things that mean nothing.
We must endeavor to persevere. He makes meaningless statements all
the time, that leave everybody believing.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The the governor in uh bessel of Horehouse in Texas.
He's for everything you're for and against everything you're against.
Just don't ask him to specify what those are because
that changes depending on the crowd. Just just assume he's
a good man. John Corny, he's a good man. Well,
he's got a new ad up and here we go again.
(20:22):
It's it's John Cornyn.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
He's boy. He's just really in there for Trump.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
It's a little quiet down here these days. That's because
Donald Trump and John Cornyn have been fighting side by
side to seal the border, putting America first, keeping Texans safety.
Cornyn's led the charge in the Senate to fund border security,
beating back Biden's invasion and crushing the cartels, including ninety
(20:48):
nine percent with Trump to deliver for Texas. Call him thanks,
Senator Cornyn, and telling to keep delivering Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's it, Senator Hi.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I'm just over here in Beaumont and I just want
to thank you for me just fighting so hard for us.
There is nobody buying this crap. How about how about
the language.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
He could look grit into it. He crushing the cartels?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Is he John Cornyn is crushing the cartels, He's fighting
beating back Biden's invasion. Oh my goodness, I don't I
don't recall that happening. Well, you better believe this.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
John Wayne mccornan is trapping up his boots and he's
getting ready Texas. He's gonna come back. When John McCain
ran for president in two thousand and eight against Barack Obama,
many people believe that his whole role was to ensure
(21:51):
that Obama was elected. It's why he would never punch
Obama's way've never criticized him, why he would start every
speech with I don't have anything as Obama's. Some of
my best friends are black, and he's great, and he's wonderful.
We need a bat black president. But uh, you know,
I'm over here too. I've been around for a long time.
If you like, if you decide not to vote for Obama,
(22:12):
it'd be nice if you voted for me. Well that
was eight twenty ten. McCain is up for reelection back
in Arizona. Well, during the eight campaign, he got outside
of Arizona, which Arizona has the same illegal immigration problem.
We did, and the people were fed up. Remember that
was Senate Bill one. Remember that whole deal. Arizona had
(22:34):
enough of the Sonorian pipeline, the illegal so many illegals
coming in there and just destroying the state. Remember the
sheriff Joe Arpaio and everything that was going on. Well,
McCain was up northeast and he was being asked about
a border wall. We have a border wall, and he
made the statement those people far right nuts with their
(22:58):
damn border wall, Oh, we don't want a border wall. Well,
that damn border wall became something of a touchstone. People
remembered that did not like it. Then twenty ten runs
and then they spend all this money. He's down, he's
talking to farm he's talking to ranchers South Texas, he says,
and I'll be there with you, and yes, that damn borderwall.
(23:21):
Oh John's on our side now. No, he just needs
your vote and he'll say whatever he needs to. So
John Wayne mccorny's trapping on his boots and he's getting ready.
He's coming to Texas and he's gonna last all your vote.
He's gonna get after it. It's gonna he's done with
his anti Trump stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yes, oh no.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
No, no, not this this, this one's gonna be real. I mean,
he's on your side now, he'd like you to believe
he's right here with you.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
John Wayne McCarney is ready to trump the competition. Ye haul,
giddy up and let's go Texas. This the old boy,
John Wayne McConney. Together with my right hand man, mister
Donald J. Trump, we'll take all those lack of days
ago looney lefts together.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I just got off the phone with mister Trump's assistant
to his second assistant at mar Lago, and I may
or may not be playing golf with the President this
weekend weather his schedule, family allegations and mood pendy. Now,
after this possible golf out it, I could possibly, maybe
but not likely, be joining him for dinner to destroy
the evil of our country in our.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Great state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
That's right, my fellow Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
As I've been told the many.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Can give me if you've heard me tell the story before.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
But John Matthews, that was his his theme song, and
I loved that he'd let it play for three minutes
and he'd come on as it as it gets increasingly gritty.
He'd go a hall hall hall, and I thought that
was the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh, yes, that was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well, John Matthews had been at KPRC. Dan Patrick, the
now lieutenant governor, had owned KPRC and sold that to
Iheart's predecessor, which was Clear Channel, and did pretty darn
well out of the deal. And when he did, Clear
(25:23):
Channel ended up firing a lot of his talent, and
which worked out great for Dan Patrick. He just went
and bought a smaller signal. I think he leased a
smaller signal to start with, and moved everybody over there,
didn't miss a beat, and now he had a truly
(25:44):
independent radio station he could run it, launched his state
senate and then of course now lieutenant governor career out
of the deal. But I'll never forget. We had a
guy named Gabe Hobbes who was nothing but good to
me our show. He was national director of country music
(26:04):
for Clear Channel, which was a lot of stations across
the country. When you were the national director of any
genre of format for the biggest radio company, you've got
everybody on speed dial. I mean, if depending on what
your musical style is, you've got whoever. The biggest is
(26:26):
you've got that person any given time. But he had
taken on the additional role of kind of brand content
management for the talk format. And I remember reading an
article that was written in the Houston Press at the time,
(26:50):
and it was about what Clear Channel was doing with
the radio stations. And the example that was used by
in the article was, look it minds you. This was
twenty years ago, so that song would be even older now.
(27:10):
I still think that'd be a great opening song. I
think it's I love it. I think it's timeless. But
the line that was it said a senior vice president
for Clear Channel Radio, Gabe Hobbs, said that you have
to be in touch and in tune with the listeners
and their musical choices and their lifestyle, and they're this
(27:32):
and they're that. If you're playing Dwayne Eddie's Rebel Rouser
as your intro music, you're.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Out of touch.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That song is whatever was fifty years old at the time.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I remember they was him, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
A shot at John Matthews. That's a good song. Sorry,
I've always thought about that song with that in mind.
Yesterday or today's camp Hope Heroes are the Lakeview Quilters
Guild who stopped by Camp Hope with a very special
delivery beautiful handmade quilts for our veterans.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Ramone, I love a quilt.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I love a good quilt, and I say that I'm
going to get a lot of sweet ladies. Were going
to email and offer a quilt. I don't need another quilt.
We inherited from my Aunt Ruby and my Aunt Jewel
a number of quilts because my wife, being a good wife,
ingratiated herself with my deep East Texas, the Tyler area
(28:36):
great aunts to whom I was very close, with whom
I was very close, and showed an interest in the
thing that they loved more than anything else, which was quilts.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
And so lo and behold. Within a couple of.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Years, we start receiving quilts, each one of them making
special quilts for us. And I love, love, love quilts.
But my wife has there is quilts are forbidden. New
quilts are forbidden to enter our home because we are
a bit overwhelmed with quilts. And my brother a couple
(29:11):
of years before he passed, he told my mom, he said,
you know, we called my grandmother, my mother's mother, called
her nanny. He said, you know it's not right. Michael
got nanny's quilts, and my wife, my mom was like Chris,
he loves quilts. He used to talk to Nanny about
(29:35):
her quilts. His wife really loves quilts, and you never
demonstrated any interest in those quilts at all. Well, I'm
just saying it's not right. So I had to pick
up the phone. What are you going behind my back
running me down for the quilts? Well, I mean, it's
just not right. We still laughed about that till the
(29:56):
day he died. Well secretarist Defense Pete Hegseth talking to
the generals and officers. Hey, we're gonna have standards around here.
We're gonna be We're gonna be a real country around here.
We're not gonna play those stupid games anymore.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are
out of shape, or in combat unit with females who
can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men,
or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons,
platform or task, or under a leader who was the
first but not the best. Standards must be uniform, gender neutral.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
And high.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
If not, they're not standards they're just suggestions, suggestions that
get our sons and daughters killed when it comes to
combat arms units, and there are many different.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Stripes across our joint force.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don't hurt anyone's feelings.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Leadership ends right now.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
At every level.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Either you can meet the standard, either you can do
the job. Either you are disciplined, fit and trained, or
you are out. And that's why today, at my direction,
and this is the first of ten Department of War
directives that are arriving at your commands as we speak
and in your inbox today, at my direction, each service
(31:30):
will ensure that every requirement for every combat mos, for
every designated combat arms position returns to the highest male standard.
Only because this job is life or death. Standards must
be met and not just met. At every level. We
should seek to exceed the standard, to push the envelope,
(31:52):
to compete its common sense and core to who we
are and what we do. It should be in our
DNA today, in my direction, we are also adding a
combat field test for combat arms units that must be
executable in any environment, at any time and with combat equipment.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
These tests that'll look.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Familiar, they'll resemble the Army expert physical fitness assessment.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, the forards.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
An M drill team would not be able to serve
that
It's that time time time, luck and load. The Michael
Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Good morning, Michael, good morning, are ooh you?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is the mucho man, Randy seven seeing.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Good morning, Michael Beard, Good morning Texas.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Listen to the good morning Texas.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh morning, your car, Good morning in Texas.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Brone is on his day and we're happy.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
To be here to talk about everything. Hey, good morning,
We're not wearing pants. Good morning Texas, Good morning Texas,
good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Wake up that speak, goddamn good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Getting a little cooler ramon, Oh boy, this is when
I like it. Get rid of that edge of that heat. Man,
it is hard to be in a good mood with
that damn heat. You gotta work at it.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Wow as it.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Starts cooling like this, boy, I.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Like this a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
I like this a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
We uh.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Today is the first day that we are trying out
our new phone system. This has been months in the making,
one of those goofy things I do. We started the
business with what's called a T lost T E l
OS phone system, which is what every which is what
most of the big radio companies.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
It was the system that they used.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And I focused on the ten things it didn't do
that I wanted it to do, and I would get
aggravated at our engineer, Bob Strup, whose job it was
to keep us on the radios. The job was not
to make me happy, and so his job was to
keep things from fall topart. Well, I would constantly make
mental note of all the things I didn't like about
(02:33):
our phone system, and one day, one day I would
have my own studio and I would build my own
phone system and it would be just to my liking. Well,
fast forward to a few years ago, and we start
in our new studio and I am going to do
the system that I so I talk to people all
over the country that do what we do, other talk
(02:54):
show hosts, and I arrive on a web based platform,
and it's going to be it. When I'm traveling, I
can just log in. I can take calls right there
from the spot, drop a call, put it on hold,
the whole thing. Well, as you might imagine, that did
not work out very well, and it was glitchy, and
(03:15):
it has affected our phone call ability and I enjoy
taking calls on the show. So we finally broke down
and at the beginning of this year made the decision
that we were going to transfer over just not a
small matter, because you have to do this while you're
also still doing shows. And that has been bit by
(03:36):
bit by bit. And they flipped the switch our engineer
yesterday or last night, and we shall see. So today
will be interesting. At some point I'll open the phone lines,
you know, maybe we'll open the phone lines now in
case somebody needs to call in and will that will
be our opportunity to start taking calls and working through
(03:57):
that system, because I'm probably going to goof it up
in one way or another. So much to talk about today.
So much is happening.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Tell you what.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I wish we had more time for Trump, but I
think also the artificially constricted time forces him to have
to do more and do it fast. We'll get into
some of what they're doing. The government is officially shut down.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I don't know if you've noticed. I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Much that's affecting your life. Just so you know, the
government is shut down. You can spew it, you can speed,
you do whatever you want wrong, nobody can stop you.
So you're supposed to care, but nobody actually cares except
the media and the politicians. For whom we're all supposed
(04:47):
to be really invested in this game of chicken.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You can be if you want to, all right. During
the halftime show between two historically black colleges and universities,
Florida A and M University and Alabama State University, there
were some girls on the dance team for one of
the schools, which was Alabama State.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And those girls are big girls.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
When I say big girls, I don't mean they're carrying
a few extra pounds. These girls are three and a
half bills.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
On the hoof. They are big girls.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I mean really big, like Lizo big without playing the flute.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
These are big girls.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And the announcer for Florida A and M University as
the girls came out, and I can't begin to tell
you how big these You'd have to see the picture
to go, oh, okay, all right right, The announcer for
Alabama State University, I'm sorry. The announcer for Florida A
and M University refers to the Alabama State University's dance
(06:01):
team as they quote new face of Ozimpic and now
the media, Oh, they're all so upset. They're body shaming.
The Alabama State president oh that both of the presidents
of the university's Oh, they're so sorry, this as horrible
as we can have this. And the big girls, the
big girls, here's what he said.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Congratulate them.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Then now the new face of O.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Oh no he didn't, Yes, he did.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I mean, in fairness, it probably wouldn't hurt somebody to
take a shot or two of the big old in
this case, there's some big girls, some very very big girls.
Rom I don't know if you're getting the point either
a big girl, there's some big girls. You would not
want don Amos to describe these girls. Or the Rutgers
(07:10):
University women's basketball team story about the the guy whose
girlfriend dog. His girlfriend's dog died, so he got her
another one and they asked him why, and he said.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, what's she gonna never? I can't do it. I
can't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I can't do it. I'll come back. I'll have to
come back on that one a moment. All the while,
Pete Hegseath has brought the generals from around the world
back to home base, back to headquarters, and the media
was writing about it. Oh my goodness, this is this
is Hitler. This is Hitler. He's bringing all the the
(07:54):
generals in. This is definitely Hitler. Remember Hitler did this.
Oh he's drinking water. Remember Hitler drank water. Well, he's
got a dog. Hitler drankle. Hitler had a dog. So
he brings the generals and top officers in and he says, look,
we're not gonna play those games anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're not doing woke. We're not gonna have big.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Old, fat, pot bellied Florida State dancers on in our military.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We're cleaning it all up.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And I'm here for HS, the Four Hour System from
The Michael Verry Show, and other leading companies.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
On this day.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
In nineteen sixty two, the Beach Boys released their first album,
Surfing Safari, which includes their debut single, Surfing. The album
would climb to number thirty two in the United States,
and they would never be heard from again.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think that's their only song about surfing. Isn't it cool?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Here we goes, it's the Maiden Boys. Okay, y'all, don't
try this at home. Don't try this at home.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Russell, you're on to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Good more than Michael. I was just wondering the story
seems to have disappeared. I haven't heard anything about it lately,
about Sean P. Diddler or Combs or is he still
in jail or what.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I presume.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So it's uh, I don't know that nobody talks about
that story anymore. For whatever reason, myself included, people just
kind of lost interest in that case.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with him running away, but
I just I just I wonder why it's It just
seems to have fallen off the radar. So I don't know,
all right, That's all I got.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, I actually honestly think it fell off the radar
because people stopped caring. I don't know, you know, We've
had this conversation internally. I just at some point just
completely turned that whole case off. Well, in the middle
of the trial, I just lost interest. It's rather telling, though,
(10:13):
it is rather telling. It is bigger than Sean Combs.
It speaks a lot to that industry of celebrity, and
it's not limited to music, you know. I think it
(10:33):
was probably more out in the open and more perhaps
more pervasive, in the black entertainment circle. If you look
at who was showing up at his parties. And this
does not necessarily mean that they participated, but if you
look at people who were confirmed to be showing up
at his self described freak golf parties, the White Party
(11:00):
they called, everybody were white, which would be inconvenient because
I'm guessing there were a lot of things sloshing around
that would show up more on against a white background.
You wonder why they didn't wear all black, but we'll
leave that aside. Maybe this was to represent the purity
(11:20):
of the matter, but it was clear there were a
number of people who felt that they had to be
butt raped by Sean Combs, p Diddy, Puffy, whatever name
you want to use for him, in order to advance
(11:41):
in their careers.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I don't think this is the.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
First time that's ever happened in any industry. What's amazing
is how widely known and seemingly accepted this whole practice was,
and how many people were involved in this bacchanalien debauchery.
These parties were attended by people with very, very public,
(12:09):
prominent reputations and images, and it would appear to be
the case that it was, for all intents and purposes,
one big orgy, much of it, if not non consensual,
then certainly disturbing, involving underage individuals. And involving a number
(12:37):
of people who later would claim that they did not
willingly participate, at least not to the extent that it occurred.
And the central theme was a lot about rape.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
There was.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You know, we can talk about who was there and
how often the parties were being held, and how many
people and how much sex. But but the thing that
keeps coming out a lot Ramon is a lot of
butt rape, a lot a lot of dudes being butt
(13:14):
raped by shun Combs that that is apparently a big,
big deal for him. There's also battery of women, a
number of assaults. There are a lot of allegations, and
I think a lot of I think a lot of
money change stands. I think some lawyers got rich off
of this case alone. He was, after all, a billionaire.
(13:37):
There was a lot of legitimate money that was that
was in his possessions, in his possession. You know, it's
interesting how little bitty tidbits are what we latch onto.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You remember the woman who drove to Florida to kill
her arrival.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The thing I and everybody else remember from that case
is the diapers. Remember, I mean, that's some diabolical stuff there.
So if I told you you know, she's going to
load up the car drive to Florida to kill her rival,
this astronaut. Yeah that's pretty crazy. But what are we
(14:18):
having for lunch?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Right? But but.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
In order to avoid stopping on the way, she went
to a CBS and got a box of diapers maybe
depends or whatever it is, and she put those on
so that she could just keep driving because she didn't
want to have to pull over. Pe I mean, she
(14:44):
needed to kill that person so bad she didn't want
to have to pull over.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
P wow.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That that okay, that the diapers is what got you.
But yeah, they didn't have BUCkies back then. You're right,
that's a good point. They didn't bunkies. She could have
got beaver nuggets. Of course, beaver nuggs. My little tummy
does not do well with beaver nuggets, because if I
eat beaver nuggets and didn't blow, I'll be blowing dirt halfway,
(15:13):
you know, just past New Orleans. I'd be over near
Santamo and it would not be pretty. Yeah, So I mean,
you gotta be careful, you know how you how you
tummy tolerates all those things.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
But be that as it may.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Uh, it was the diapers well, I think the baby
oil was the deal that really got people in the uh,
the the Puffy Combs story, because I think it's hard
for us to hold on to the details. We got
so much noise out there, so many stories foma look
over here right out every day, I get hundreds of
(15:51):
emails to go, how come nobody's talking about and then
you fill in the blank, Well, hell, when would they?
We've only got so much time. When are people gonna
have all these conversations you want them to have. It's
hard to get people's attention.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
It's just hard. But there's just no way around that.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Buddy's girlfriend, but his girlfriend's dog died, so he got
her another one. She's gonna do with two dead dogs.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
John writers the Michael Verie showy.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Maybe Mars comic values a million dollar record sale home now.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, he was twenty twenty three and into twenty twenty four,
John Cornyn was on record Donald Trump should not run
for president, which would mean he shouldn't be our president now.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Look it up.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Multiple articles, multiple times, John Cornyn said Donald Trump should
not run present. He should not be our nominee. He's
too divisive, he can't win. I don't think Texans are
going to forget that. But of course Trump did run
(17:16):
and he did win, and he despises John Cornyn, and
not that it matters, Cornyn also hates him. So what's
Cornin doing now that it's time to come back to
you and seek six more years to cut deals with
the Democrats? Why he's telling you how much he and
(17:37):
Trump are best friends, they love each other. I mean,
he's with Trump ninety nine percent of the time. Well,
ninety nine percent of the votes are what to name
the post office in Waco, and it's the guy who
was really popular there in town. And you can agree
(17:58):
on that all the time. Every time, it's not until
something really matters the president needs your vote that you
breaking with him makes the base so angry. John Cornyn
might could win a general because the Democrats would hope
for him and be Dade failing all over again. But
this time we're not going to do that. We're going
to be in the Republican primary. So what are Karl
(18:20):
Rove and the boys in DC doing to make sure
that their swamp creature.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Stays in office.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, as you might imagine, they're running ads and they're
telling you Ken.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Paston's not a good guy. I don't need a good guy.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Ken Passton got a divorce, Okay, so did a lot
of people.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Ken Pashton. He gets into arguments for people.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, okay, I need him to be a senator. I
really don't need him to lead to local boy scouts.
What are you saying, Ken Paston? He's he makes waves
with everything he does and makes people angry. Yeah, that's
what I want him to do. This what Trump does too,
Ken Paston. He's not like John Cornyan. Yeah, I know exactly.
(19:14):
That's the point we're making here. Well, John Cornyan, like
you the music, Soaring Eagles, John Corny, John Wayne mccornyn.
He's a good man's He gets his shoes polished properly,
gets his nails, his hoofs and and his paws and claws.
He gets them all done nice, like he gets his
(19:35):
hair cut downstairs in the Senate. Yeah, he's a man
of power. He strives through the Capitol. He's respected, He's
got his tie tied properly, he's wearing the proper suit.
He stands up straight, and he says things that mean nothing.
We must endeavor to persevere. He makes meaningless statements all
the time, that leave everybody believing.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The the governor in uh bessel of Horehouse in Texas.
He's for everything you're for and against everything you're against.
Just don't ask him to specify what those are because
that changes depending on the crowd. Just just assume he's
a good man. John Corny, he's a good man. Well,
he's got a new ad up and here we go again.
(20:22):
It's it's John Cornyn.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
He's boy. He's just really in there for Trump.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
It's a little quiet down here these days. That's because
Donald Trump and John Cornyn have been fighting side by
side to seal the border, putting America first, keeping Texans safety.
Cornyn's led the charge in the Senate to fund border security,
beating back Biden's invasion and crushing the cartels, including ninety
(20:48):
nine percent with Trump to deliver for Texas. Call him thanks,
Senator Cornyn, and telling to keep delivering Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's it, Senator Hi.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I'm just over here in Beaumont and I just want
to thank you for me just fighting so hard for us.
There is nobody buying this crap. How about how about
the language.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
He could look grit into it. He crushing the cartels?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Is he John Cornyn is crushing the cartels, He's fighting
beating back Biden's invasion. Oh my goodness, I don't I
don't recall that happening. Well, you better believe this.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
John Wayne mccornan is trapping up his boots and he's
getting ready Texas. He's gonna come back. When John McCain
ran for president in two thousand and eight against Barack Obama,
many people believe that his whole role was to ensure
(21:51):
that Obama was elected. It's why he would never punch
Obama's way've never criticized him, why he would start every
speech with I don't have anything as Obama's. Some of
my best friends are black, and he's great, and he's wonderful.
We need a bat black president. But uh, you know,
I'm over here too. I've been around for a long time.
If you like, if you decide not to vote for Obama,
(22:12):
it'd be nice if you voted for me. Well that
was eight twenty ten. McCain is up for reelection back
in Arizona. Well, during the eight campaign, he got outside
of Arizona, which Arizona has the same illegal immigration problem.
We did, and the people were fed up. Remember that
was Senate Bill one. Remember that whole deal. Arizona had
(22:34):
enough of the Sonorian pipeline, the illegal so many illegals
coming in there and just destroying the state. Remember the
sheriff Joe Arpaio and everything that was going on. Well,
McCain was up northeast and he was being asked about
a border wall. We have a border wall, and he
made the statement those people far right nuts with their
(22:58):
damn border wall, Oh, we don't want a border wall. Well,
that damn border wall became something of a touchstone. People
remembered that did not like it. Then twenty ten runs
and then they spend all this money. He's down, he's
talking to farm he's talking to ranchers South Texas, he says,
and I'll be there with you, and yes, that damn borderwall.
(23:21):
Oh John's on our side now. No, he just needs
your vote and he'll say whatever he needs to. So
John Wayne mccorny's trapping on his boots and he's getting ready.
He's coming to Texas and he's gonna last all your vote.
He's gonna get after it. It's gonna he's done with
his anti Trump stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yes, oh no.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
No, no, not this this, this one's gonna be real. I mean,
he's on your side now, he'd like you to believe
he's right here with you.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
John Wayne McCarney is ready to trump the competition. Ye haul,
giddy up and let's go Texas. This the old boy,
John Wayne McConney. Together with my right hand man, mister
Donald J. Trump, we'll take all those lack of days
ago looney lefts together.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I just got off the phone with mister Trump's assistant
to his second assistant at mar Lago, and I may
or may not be playing golf with the President this
weekend weather his schedule, family allegations and mood pendy. Now,
after this possible golf out it, I could possibly, maybe
but not likely, be joining him for dinner to destroy
the evil of our country in our.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Great state of Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
That's right, my fellow Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
As I've been told the many.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Can give me if you've heard me tell the story before.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
But John Matthews, that was his his theme song, and
I loved that he'd let it play for three minutes
and he'd come on as it as it gets increasingly gritty.
He'd go a hall hall hall, and I thought that
was the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh, yes, that was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well, John Matthews had been at KPRC. Dan Patrick, the
now lieutenant governor, had owned KPRC and sold that to
Iheart's predecessor, which was Clear Channel, and did pretty darn
well out of the deal. And when he did, Clear
(25:23):
Channel ended up firing a lot of his talent, and
which worked out great for Dan Patrick. He just went
and bought a smaller signal. I think he leased a
smaller signal to start with, and moved everybody over there,
didn't miss a beat, and now he had a truly
(25:44):
independent radio station he could run it, launched his state
senate and then of course now lieutenant governor career out
of the deal. But I'll never forget. We had a
guy named Gabe Hobbes who was nothing but good to
me our show. He was national director of country music
(26:04):
for Clear Channel, which was a lot of stations across
the country. When you were the national director of any
genre of format for the biggest radio company, you've got
everybody on speed dial. I mean, if depending on what
your musical style is, you've got whoever. The biggest is
(26:26):
you've got that person any given time. But he had
taken on the additional role of kind of brand content
management for the talk format. And I remember reading an
article that was written in the Houston Press at the time,
(26:50):
and it was about what Clear Channel was doing with
the radio stations. And the example that was used by
in the article was, look it minds you. This was
twenty years ago, so that song would be even older now.
(27:10):
I still think that'd be a great opening song. I
think it's I love it. I think it's timeless. But
the line that was it said a senior vice president
for Clear Channel Radio, Gabe Hobbs, said that you have
to be in touch and in tune with the listeners
and their musical choices and their lifestyle, and they're this
(27:32):
and they're that. If you're playing Dwayne Eddie's Rebel Rouser
as your intro music, you're.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Out of touch.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That song is whatever was fifty years old at the time.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I remember they was him, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
A shot at John Matthews. That's a good song. Sorry,
I've always thought about that song with that in mind.
Yesterday or today's camp Hope Heroes are the Lakeview Quilters
Guild who stopped by Camp Hope with a very special
delivery beautiful handmade quilts for our veterans.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Ramone, I love a quilt.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I love a good quilt, and I say that I'm
going to get a lot of sweet ladies. Were going
to email and offer a quilt. I don't need another quilt.
We inherited from my Aunt Ruby and my Aunt Jewel
a number of quilts because my wife, being a good wife,
ingratiated herself with my deep East Texas, the Tyler area
(28:36):
great aunts to whom I was very close, with whom
I was very close, and showed an interest in the
thing that they loved more than anything else, which was quilts.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
And so lo and behold. Within a couple of.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Years, we start receiving quilts, each one of them making
special quilts for us. And I love, love, love quilts.
But my wife has there is quilts are forbidden. New
quilts are forbidden to enter our home because we are
a bit overwhelmed with quilts. And my brother a couple
(29:11):
of years before he passed, he told my mom, he said,
you know, we called my grandmother, my mother's mother, called
her nanny. He said, you know it's not right. Michael
got nanny's quilts, and my wife, my mom was like Chris,
he loves quilts. He used to talk to Nanny about
(29:35):
her quilts. His wife really loves quilts, and you never
demonstrated any interest in those quilts at all. Well, I'm
just saying it's not right. So I had to pick
up the phone. What are you going behind my back
running me down for the quilts? Well, I mean, it's
just not right. We still laughed about that till the
(29:56):
day he died. Well secretarist Defense Pete Hegseth talking to
the generals and officers. Hey, we're gonna have standards around here.
We're gonna be We're gonna be a real country around here.
We're not gonna play those stupid games anymore.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Listen to this.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are
out of shape, or in combat unit with females who
can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men,
or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons,
platform or task, or under a leader who was the
first but not the best. Standards must be uniform, gender neutral.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
And high.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
If not, they're not standards they're just suggestions, suggestions that
get our sons and daughters killed when it comes to
combat arms units, and there are many different.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Stripes across our joint force.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don't hurt anyone's feelings.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Leadership ends right now.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
At every level.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Either you can meet the standard, either you can do
the job. Either you are disciplined, fit and trained, or
you are out. And that's why today, at my direction,
and this is the first of ten Department of War
directives that are arriving at your commands as we speak
and in your inbox today, at my direction, each service
(31:30):
will ensure that every requirement for every combat mos, for
every designated combat arms position returns to the highest male standard.
Only because this job is life or death. Standards must
be met and not just met. At every level. We
should seek to exceed the standard, to push the envelope,
(31:52):
to compete its common sense and core to who we
are and what we do. It should be in our
DNA today, in my direction, we are also adding a
combat field test for combat arms units that must be
executable in any environment, at any time and with combat equipment.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
These tests that'll look.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Familiar, they'll resemble the Army expert physical fitness assessment.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, the forards.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
An M drill team would not be able to serve
that

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.
