Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
These high school boys and girls are having a hop
at the local soda fountain. Innocently they dance, innocent of
a new and deadly menace lurking behind closed doors. Nana
the burning weed with its roots in Hell.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
In reading the proclamation, one can only come to this conclusion,
which surprises me. The governor of the state of Texas
wants to legalize recreational marijuana in Texas.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Until sleep Jesus still sitting down in a railway station,
when all the train that goes on sleep, the train is.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
On time s.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Rail Land stage, you.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Will see the ease with which this vicious plant can
be grown in your neighbor's yard, ruled into harmless looking
cigarettes hidden in an innocent shoe or watchcase.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Who are we in the state We think we're going
to attract business here if we've got a bunch of
people high on marijuana at very high levels?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Is that who wants to come here and build their plant? Here?
You so destroying reaper.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
They find a moment's pleasure, but at a terrible price.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
One Jesus, stage Way, the s rail Lange.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Those eight thousand shops, and they keep selling all this poison,
and kids keep getting sick, and parents keep losing their children,
and people walk out in front of trains and people
shoot somebody pilate murder.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
See sigh.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And the ultimate end of the marijuana addic, hopeless insanity, see.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Jesus to sending downtown, and Rails says, go to no one,
just awaken on the train they go, so.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
Say the one at the trade is.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
All the time sending down the towns and Lassay just got.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
We're not Colorado, and we're not Oregon, and we're not
Washington State.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We're Texas. See this important bill now before.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
It is too late.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Just awake, training until Esus.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Stick the.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
End of civilization. Vice President Trump ordered strikes on Iran,
but I was cautious. I was cautious because you might
just mess around and unleash Pandora's box and not be
able to get it back in there. Nor was I
(03:53):
rooting for the bombing. It came faster than I expected,
but I knew we were on the verge. I fully
expected that the date would be July third, anticipating a
big success, which would make July fourth one hell of
a party. The two week deadline aligned with July third.
(04:19):
If the strike's occurred on July third, that would give
people time to process the success of it, and that
would have made July fourth a very joyous occasion. That was,
in my mind, what was going to happen. It lined
up too perfectly. It was planned. Trump's good at these
sorts of things, but instead it was a surprise attack.
(04:41):
And I think now most folks would have to admit,
whether you love Trump hate Trump, supported the effort or
didn't or just said, hey, let's let's let's be cautious
about this, that it was a success and we are
going to see a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's very important to the to the president and to
his lef and for good reason. It's interesting and surprising
and disappointing to see how many people are rooting for
that conflict not to end, as it looks like it
now will at least for some period of time, but
rather to escalate, just so they can call it a
(05:20):
failure for Trump. The media, the Democrats, and oh yes,
even many Republicans. Let's not forget the Ken Singers and
Cheneye and Bushes who rooted for his downfall. They cannot
fathom anything happening in Trump's favor, even if that means
(05:41):
they have to root against America. It is time we
hear once again from our Secretary of Sanity. He spoke
to the press yesterday and thankfully is a voice of
reason for President Trump.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Hello, and welcome your Secretary of Sanity. I understand emotions
are high, particularly among those who just googled Iran this morning. Yes,
the United States conducted surgical air strikes against nuclear weapon
facilities inside Iran. Targets were chosen carefully to send a
message not start a war, unless you get your news
from TikTok, in which case it was.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Definitely the start of World War III.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
The rapture, and by god, the cancelation of Beyonce's tour.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Don't say that now. I know some of you are wondering.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
But did the president ask Congress before acting?
Speaker 9 (06:30):
No.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
He also didn't ask for permission to use the bathroom
this morning. The Constitution gives the president the power to
act in defense of national security.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He used it. It's not treason. It's Tuesday, people.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
How do you respond to senior Democratic officials saying this
is a war crime? Well, under your guy it would
have been called a delicate kinetic intervention with regional implications.
Fancy words, same explosions. Now let's talk about Iran's response.
A dozen bottle rockets lobbed toward a base in Qatar. Wooh,
No casualties, no damage, just enough to say face without
(07:05):
breaking a nail.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's not war. That's theater.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Isn't this escalating things dangerously?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Iran's been escalating for twenty years, funding proxy, spinning, centrifugus,
chanting depth to America like it's karaoke night at the
local pub.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But where the reckless ones?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
God?
Speaker 8 (07:23):
And yes, this happened without a UN resolution, which is
kind of like not getting a participation ribbon from the
world's most ineffective hoa. Look, I'm going to close with this.
The goal was to slow Iron's path to nukes.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
No regime change, no boots on the ground, just a
friendly reminder from thirty thousand feet that uranium enrichment makes
for bad neighbors. Now I feel excuse me, I'm late
for a closed door meeting with the international coalition of
people who forgot.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Obama did this too.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Have a great day, everybody, It's the Michael Barry show,
(08:29):
there have been ice skating.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I don't know. The ice feels somehow worse than concrete.
You don't want to fall on it, which makes it
particularly funny. A shoplifter at the Galleria was trying to
run from the popo and he jumped from the second
floor onto the ice rink, breaking both of his legs.
(08:56):
Kp r C TV reports quote officers with the Houston
the Police Department were working an extra job at the
Gallery of Mall on Sunday when they were notified of
a shoplifting incident at one of the stores around two
twenty pm. Shortly after, they found the man who was
(09:17):
accused of stealing. When they started to chase after him,
he took off and eventually jumped from the second floor
of the mall, landing on the ice skating rink.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Below.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Video from Ken Gilliard shows the man lying on the floor.
Oh my god, Gilliard said in the video, bro just
fell from up there. He jumped from the top landed
straight on ice. According to Gilliard, the man was unable
(09:50):
to move either of his legs. The suspect was reportedly
transported to the hospital with injuries. The suspect.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So first we have the cost in the additional cost
in goods of people like this who steal. And I'm
sure he does it all day long. I love to
know what he was stealing, little punk. So first, there's
him stealing all day long, and that's built into the
price of everything you pay for. Of course, who goes
to the galleria anymore because of thugs like this. Then
(10:27):
there is the cost of law enforcement because at some
point he's going to hurt somebody else. Then there is
the cost of transporting him to the hospital. Then there's
the cost of treating him. You probably steal the place
blind while he's there, little savage. Good grief, what a fool.
I don't know why he bothered to jump. You're in
(10:49):
Harris County, dude, run if they catch you, which is
not likely. If they do catch you, you can beat
the I mean, you can't beat the ride, but you
can beat the rap. You're in Harris County. Nobody's gonna
prosecute you, dude, surely you know that. But thanks to
our connections with the Gallery of Mall and the Houston
(11:12):
Police Department, we have been able to obtain the security
footage just as the shoplifter jumped onto the ice hit it.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Ramon, stop right there, in the name of the law,
just you try and catch me, Coppa.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That is really good. Ramon. I don't know how you
got that, but oh, Chad got it. Oh that is
really really good. That you don't normally get that. The
insights play that again. That that is very interesting.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Go ahead, stop right there, in the name of the law.
Just you try and catch me Coppa.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, I didn't either, very different accents. Next thing, where
do you figure he's from. I had him from fifth ward,
maybe third World, somewhere in Shila Jackson Leee district. But
he he sounds he sounds really more like midtown. Maybe
give that one more time. Let me listen to that act.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Stop right there, in the name of the law, just
you try and catch me Koppa.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He is fast. Yeah, what's interesting about that? I'll give
you a little for those of you. A lot of
folks in our audience have some history in production of
one sort or another, and you enjoy things like classic
(12:51):
sound effects and the like, and this was an attempt
to use some of the best of them. That sound
that's at the end, play that scream one more time
extra credit. If you know what this scream is known.
It's a classic sound effect in movies going back to
nineteen fifty one One more Time a month that is
(13:15):
known as if you set it out loud, give yourself
thirty bonus points. It's called the Wilheim scream. It goes
back to the movie in nineteen fifty one called distant drums.
It's often used in scenarios when someone is shot, falls
from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion.
(13:37):
That scream is a thread throughout movie history. It's a
nod to classic films that goes back seventy four years.
It's named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge
at Feather River nineteen fifty three Western, when it was
later used in which the character gets shot in the
(13:58):
thigh with an zero. This was its first use following
its inclusion in the Warner Brothers Stock Sound Library. Although
The Charge at Feather River was the third film to
use the effect the scream, it was unknown to whom
the scream belonged for many many years. It was featured
(14:21):
in all of the original Star Wars films, which once
some of you may have recognized it. Even if you
don't go back to the old Westerns. A lot of
digging was done to figure out whose scream that was,
and historians now widely agree that the scream most likely
belongs to Ramond. You know who it is, well, I'm
(14:45):
not going to tell you, as it would turn out.
What we're gonna do is coming back in the next break,
We're going to play a song by that person, so
that even if you don't know who it is, and
you recognize as that person for one of his classic songs,
you can go, oh, it's all so and so made
that scream, which but this was before he was such
(15:07):
a big name. Can you give us the whole clip
one more time of the guy jumping from the second
floor at the galleria and breaking both his legs.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Stop right there, in the name of the law, Just
you try and catch me, Coppa.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That's a long fall. I thought it was just a
second floor. It's taller than I thought.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
Order it, Richard, you w twenty five package and you
get it all fiberglass hood with air grabbing a scoop.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Mit.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
The Michael Berry fucking hood pins snobile escaped from the ordinary.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Helm.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Scream of Bill Holme is credited to an extra on
that show by the name of Sholby Frederick Woollie, better
known to the world as Shebb Woolly. He also performed
under the name Ben Colder Who's Never Been Colder as
(16:14):
the song he Goes, who you may recognize as the
person who did a parody song of a Key Breaky
Heart in the nineties by the name Shakey Breaky carr
at lining a real big hit. But what a career
this guy had. He was the sound effect man of
Thomas Valentino's major record label during the forties, so there
(16:37):
are a lot of sound effects that are used in
film that are his voice. He was in the movie Hoosiers,
He was in High Noon. He was in the greatest
movie of all time, The Outlaw Josie Wells. He was
a regular in the TV show Rawhide. Ramon, did you
watch Rawhide growing up?
Speaker 8 (16:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
My goodness, Oh my goodness. So before we left for
church on Sunday morning, I would get up and eat
my cereal sitting on my bean bag in front of
the television, and hope that my mother didn't want to
leave early because it was if it was her turn
(17:18):
to volunteer for the nursery where the parents could could well, really,
moms could dump their kids so they could have an
hour of peace and listen to the sermon. If it
was hers, which was about every fourth time, then we'd
have to leave early and I would just pray that
this wasn't one of those weeks, and I would get
(17:39):
up early and I would watch Rawhide. But if you
watched Rawhide, you had to watch from the beginning because
the highlight was the opening Rollin Rollin wrote great opening
scene Clint Eastwood, of course, and then you would watch Rawhide,
and then you would watch people my age all know
what came on next if you watched FDM out of Eumont,
(18:01):
and that was and I'm sure it was going on
across the country, and that was the Lone Ranger. Two
of the great opening sounds, uh soundtracks in all of television.
Just absolutely credit, just crazy good. Shev Woolley was so
talented and had such a body of work. He was
(18:23):
a rodeo cowboy. He he was a regular on the
TV show he Haw And by the way, he's the
one who wrote the opening theme song. That guy has
more uh six degrees of Kevin Bacon connections to our
(18:44):
lives than you can you can possibly imagine President Trump
posted to his truth social Israel. Israel and Iran came
to me almost simultaneously and said peace. The time was now.
The world Middle East are the real winners. Both nations
(19:06):
will see tremendous love, peace, and prosperity in their futures.
They have so much to gain and yet so much
to lose if they stray from the road of righteousness
and truth. The future for Israel and Iran is unlimited
and filled with great promise. God bless you both. Of course,
(19:29):
after this, Israel had planes in the air headed toward Iran,
and President Trump had to drop an F bomb in
frustration over what he was witnessing, which threatened to challenge
that peace. But it would appear now that we are
good to go, here is Here is President Trump talking
(19:51):
about how unhappy he was to find out that his
ceasefire was in danger. Clip number thirteen. Mister robis they
violated violated it too.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
In is Israel.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of bombs the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay,
now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in
the first hour. It just drop everything you have on them.
So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
Iron either, But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out
(20:24):
this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that
were shot perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not
happy about that. You know what we have, We basically
have two countries that have been fighting so long and
so hard that they don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What the heck they're doing.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
You understand that, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I hear people who use the F bomb. It's such
a provocative word. And I hear people who use it
in the streets, normal people in the workplace, and they
use it almost like um or like or well. They
use it as a placekeepers, as a as a way
(21:10):
to keep the flow of conversation going when they need
when they need an adjective and they don't really have one,
or they just need an article a word to slip
it into a sentence. And I find it very harsh
to the ears. I've never understood how people will do
that in public when they're children around. Sure, it's just
(21:33):
an utterance of a word. It could instead be tuck
or ruck or buck, But it does have a meaning,
and that's why they use that particular word instead of
woolly bully or killy kelley or whatever other set of sounds.
It has a meaning, sort of like when people get
(21:54):
a tattoo on their face and then they go, why
are you judging me? It's just ink on the skin? Well,
why'd you do it? We all know what's going on here.
It's exactly according to script. President Trump does not in public.
I don't know how he talks in private. He does
not in public speak in this manner, and I don't
(22:15):
think he speaks without understanding what he says. He has
a delivery which suggests he considers what he says before
he says it. Biden had a tendency even before the
dementia set in, even before his brain decline. Biden had
a history throughout his career of getting so far out
(22:37):
ahead of himself that the words were ahead of his brain,
and he would sometimes catch himself or he would be
caught having said things that he wished he hadn't. Trump
doesn't do that. I think he was trying to express
here a degree of genuine not frustration anger, particularly at
(23:02):
bb netan Yahoo that all right, dude, we gave you
what you wanted. Knock it off.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I hope that was the intention, and I hope the
message stop. It's time for this thing to be over.
And who's doing Michael Ley.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Credit?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I will give you credit. That is uh, that is
very smart radio. You used the Blues Brothers version. I
caught what you did there. I did. It was on
this day in nineteen eighty seven that one of the
great actors of the silver screen, one of the greatest
actors of my lifetime. And he was fifty four years
(23:50):
older than I was, which means that by the time
I was old enough to figure out who the heck
he was, he was well into his sixties. And I
am talking, of course, about Jackie Glese. And we'll start
for some of our older folks, because we have a
lot of eighty plus listeners and we love them and
we don't mind super serving them. This is a scene
from The Honeymooners, and in the scene, Alice tells Ralph
(24:13):
exactly why she didn't darn his socks. What great writing
this show has. Phenomenal Right, if you've never watched The Honeymooners.
You can find episodes anywhere and everywhere. This was good
quality slapstick writing.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I suppose you didn't have time to sod easy.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
This sucks.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I'm sorry, Ralph.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
No, I didn't no.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Excuse or anything.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Have you got any excuse why it didn't?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So to size find know why I haven't got an excuse.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
You're a crank to give me an excuse us.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know that, I know you know that.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
I know what you've been doing around here all day,
sitting there pulling around.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
You know something.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Right after you left the house this morning, I got
in one of those stilly moons nine. You know how
I get sometime so jes a laugh. Well, I do
the reconstitions and make the bed and take a garbage down. Now,
when I came back up, I was still in such
a funny mood. Now I thought, why should I settle
down to the trudgery of ending your socks. So I
scrubbed the kitchen floor.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Then, you know something, I was still so giddy and
so gay over this whole thing, and I thought, I'm
really enjoying myself. So I washed all the windows.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Then, Ralph, I went out and I did the marketing,
and I came back with a pot roast, and I
put the.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Pot rolls down the stove, and while I.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Was cooking, I went in and I cleaned out the
bedroom Glossom.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now, I know this may sound like work to you, Ralph,
but it isn't.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
It's fun, good sport.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Do you know why it's such a good spot, Ralph,
Because I'm so loaded with modern conveniences, just loaded steam
ions and vacuum cleaners and dishwashers and washing machines, and.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Say nothing of this lovely new.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Modern repetrator over here. Oh that reminds me it's time
to the Frosteds.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
That will give you a rough idea, Ralph.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
But what a joy it is working around this apartment
all day.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
You know, could have so up to date.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
I am the only girl in town with an ionic kitchen.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
That place looks like you got blacks out of the black.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You know, that was a time when theater and film
represented aspects of people's lives with which they could identify.
When's the last time you had a housewife's character? Period?
But when's the last time you had a housewife's character
who anybody at home could identify with? Every woman at
(26:33):
home was identifying with all the tasks and chores she
had to do and her husband thinking that she does nothing.
That's just quality writing with an understanding of your audience. Now,
you couldn't have a woman who would be sassy while
at the same time very sympathetic, just that they'd have
(26:55):
to be a woman that wanted to be a man.
Or in any case, let's get back to Jackie Gleeson,
who died on this day in nineteen eighty seven. Ten
years before he died, was one of the most formative
movie moments of my life, and that was Smoking the Bandit.
And as we have talked about many times on this show,
(27:18):
the character of Buford t Justice played by Jackie Gleeson,
was personally recruited by Burt Reynolds. Gleason was thought to
be washed up, done, he was old, he was not
in good health, even though it was only in his sixties,
(27:38):
and the story goes Burt Reynolds called him personally to
recruit him for the role. Hal Needham, who was a stuntman,
was his directorial debut, and he basically told Jackie Gleeson,
you're a great improviser. Your improvisational humor is as good
as it gets. If there's something you want to do
and it's not in the script, you just do it
(28:00):
comes out and the toilet papers trailing behind him. That
was all Jackie Gleeson. But for my money, of all
the brilliant moments of that movie, and there are so
many that involve Jackie Gleeson when he goes walking in
and two people in my life could quote this scene
word for word, and that is my friend Ray Hunt
(28:21):
and my late brother Christopher Wayneberry, word for word, and
I never make them stop because it is one of
the great scenes of all film in my mind, the
Diablo sandwich scene. I'm gonna tell you, man.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
A dollar and a half or keep chance, let me
have idar.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I go sandwich. I've doc got back, but I'm making fast.
I'm gonna damn.
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Murray you are.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
John dam Loan ducks dock and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
He must be in an eleb hurry. I said, bet
your ass on that boy. Oh yeah, to tell less
say coming room. Let me help you out here.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
Get that off there. That's a way wing off, money flying.
We are chasing somebody chasing you. Nobody chasing me, boy,
compl chasing that me. I'm all away from the doctor.
I can't text you any I said, I thank robber boot.
All right.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
The fact problem is big along side of what this
dude is doing.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Uh almost killed funny law.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Driving, good people, backyard, knocking down mail boxer, got brought
in the car took of course, the state.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Rhyme got the man.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
I don't think he's got a permission and that's good nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
How's that be?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I did what?
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Let me pay for it?
Speaker 10 (29:59):
Let me pay No, if you're an officer the law,
I'll be honest.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm much applied. Where's again, I gotta get the squirre
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
These high school boys and girls are having a hop
at the local soda fountain. Innocently they dance, innocent of
a new and deadly menace lurking behind closed doors. Nana
the burning weed with its roots in Hell.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
In reading the proclamation, one can only come to this conclusion,
which surprises me. The governor of the state of Texas
wants to legalize recreational marijuana in Texas.

Who are we in the state We think we're going
to attract business here if we've got a bunch of
people high on marijuana at very high levels?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Is that who wants to come here and build their plant? Here?
You so destroying reaper.

We're Texas. See this important bill now before.

It is too late.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Just awake, training until Esus.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Stick the.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
End of civilization. Vice President Trump ordered strikes on Iran,
but I was cautious. I was cautious because you might
just mess around and unleash Pandora's box and not be
able to get it back in there. Nor was I
(03:53):
rooting for the bombing. It came faster than I expected,
but I knew we were on the verge. I fully
expected that the date would be July third, anticipating a
big success, which would make July fourth one hell of
a party. The two week deadline aligned with July third.
(04:19):
If the strike's occurred on July third, that would give
people time to process the success of it, and that
would have made July fourth a very joyous occasion. That was,
in my mind, what was going to happen. It lined
up too perfectly. It was planned. Trump's good at these
sorts of things, but instead it was a surprise attack.
(04:41):
And I think now most folks would have to admit,
whether you love Trump hate Trump, supported the effort or
didn't or just said, hey, let's let's let's be cautious
about this, that it was a success and we are
going to see a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's very important to the to the president and to
his lef and for good reason. It's interesting and surprising
and disappointing to see how many people are rooting for
that conflict not to end, as it looks like it
now will at least for some period of time, but
rather to escalate, just so they can call it a
(05:20):
failure for Trump. The media, the Democrats, and oh yes,
even many Republicans. Let's not forget the Ken Singers and
Cheneye and Bushes who rooted for his downfall. They cannot
fathom anything happening in Trump's favor, even if that means
(05:41):
they have to root against America. It is time we
hear once again from our Secretary of Sanity. He spoke
to the press yesterday and thankfully is a voice of
reason for President Trump.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Hello, and welcome your Secretary of Sanity. I understand emotions
are high, particularly among those who just googled Iran this morning. Yes,
the United States conducted surgical air strikes against nuclear weapon
facilities inside Iran. Targets were chosen carefully to send a
message not start a war, unless you get your news
from TikTok, in which case it was.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Definitely the start of World War III.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
The rapture, and by god, the cancelation of Beyonce's tour.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Don't say that now. I know some of you are wondering.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
But did the president ask Congress before acting?
Speaker 9 (06:30):
No.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
He also didn't ask for permission to use the bathroom
this morning. The Constitution gives the president the power to
act in defense of national security.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He used it. It's not treason. It's Tuesday, people.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
How do you respond to senior Democratic officials saying this
is a war crime? Well, under your guy it would
have been called a delicate kinetic intervention with regional implications.
Fancy words, same explosions. Now let's talk about Iran's response.
A dozen bottle rockets lobbed toward a base in Qatar. Wooh,
No casualties, no damage, just enough to say face without
(07:05):
breaking a nail.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's not war. That's theater.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Isn't this escalating things dangerously?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Iran's been escalating for twenty years, funding proxy, spinning, centrifugus,
chanting depth to America like it's karaoke night at the
local pub.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But where the reckless ones?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
God?
Speaker 8 (07:23):
And yes, this happened without a UN resolution, which is
kind of like not getting a participation ribbon from the
world's most ineffective hoa. Look, I'm going to close with this.
The goal was to slow Iron's path to nukes.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
No regime change, no boots on the ground, just a
friendly reminder from thirty thousand feet that uranium enrichment makes
for bad neighbors. Now I feel excuse me, I'm late
for a closed door meeting with the international coalition of
people who forgot.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Obama did this too.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Have a great day, everybody, It's the Michael Barry show,
(08:29):
there have been ice skating.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I don't know. The ice feels somehow worse than concrete.
You don't want to fall on it, which makes it
particularly funny. A shoplifter at the Galleria was trying to
run from the popo and he jumped from the second
floor onto the ice rink, breaking both of his legs.
(08:56):
Kp r C TV reports quote officers with the Houston
the Police Department were working an extra job at the
Gallery of Mall on Sunday when they were notified of
a shoplifting incident at one of the stores around two
twenty pm. Shortly after, they found the man who was
(09:17):
accused of stealing. When they started to chase after him,
he took off and eventually jumped from the second floor
of the mall, landing on the ice skating rink.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Below.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Video from Ken Gilliard shows the man lying on the floor.
Oh my god, Gilliard said in the video, bro just
fell from up there. He jumped from the top landed
straight on ice. According to Gilliard, the man was unable
(09:50):
to move either of his legs. The suspect was reportedly
transported to the hospital with injuries. The suspect.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So first we have the cost in the additional cost
in goods of people like this who steal. And I'm
sure he does it all day long. I love to
know what he was stealing, little punk. So first, there's
him stealing all day long, and that's built into the
price of everything you pay for. Of course, who goes
to the galleria anymore because of thugs like this. Then
(10:27):
there is the cost of law enforcement because at some
point he's going to hurt somebody else. Then there is
the cost of transporting him to the hospital. Then there's
the cost of treating him. You probably steal the place
blind while he's there, little savage. Good grief, what a fool.
I don't know why he bothered to jump. You're in
(10:49):
Harris County, dude, run if they catch you, which is
not likely. If they do catch you, you can beat
the I mean, you can't beat the ride, but you
can beat the rap. You're in Harris County. Nobody's gonna
prosecute you, dude, surely you know that. But thanks to
our connections with the Gallery of Mall and the Houston
(11:12):
Police Department, we have been able to obtain the security
footage just as the shoplifter jumped onto the ice hit it.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Ramon, stop right there, in the name of the law,
just you try and catch me, Coppa.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That is really good. Ramon. I don't know how you
got that, but oh, Chad got it. Oh that is
really really good. That you don't normally get that. The
insights play that again. That that is very interesting.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Go ahead, stop right there, in the name of the law.
Just you try and catch me Coppa.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, I didn't either, very different accents. Next thing, where
do you figure he's from. I had him from fifth ward,
maybe third World, somewhere in Shila Jackson Leee district. But
he he sounds he sounds really more like midtown. Maybe
give that one more time. Let me listen to that act.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Stop right there, in the name of the law, just
you try and catch me Koppa.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He is fast. Yeah, what's interesting about that? I'll give
you a little for those of you. A lot of
folks in our audience have some history in production of
one sort or another, and you enjoy things like classic
(12:51):
sound effects and the like, and this was an attempt
to use some of the best of them. That sound
that's at the end, play that scream one more time
extra credit. If you know what this scream is known.
It's a classic sound effect in movies going back to
nineteen fifty one One more Time a month that is
(13:15):
known as if you set it out loud, give yourself
thirty bonus points. It's called the Wilheim scream. It goes
back to the movie in nineteen fifty one called distant drums.
It's often used in scenarios when someone is shot, falls
from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion.
(13:37):
That scream is a thread throughout movie history. It's a
nod to classic films that goes back seventy four years.
It's named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge
at Feather River nineteen fifty three Western, when it was
later used in which the character gets shot in the
(13:58):
thigh with an zero. This was its first use following
its inclusion in the Warner Brothers Stock Sound Library. Although
The Charge at Feather River was the third film to
use the effect the scream, it was unknown to whom
the scream belonged for many many years. It was featured
(14:21):
in all of the original Star Wars films, which once
some of you may have recognized it. Even if you
don't go back to the old Westerns. A lot of
digging was done to figure out whose scream that was,
and historians now widely agree that the scream most likely
belongs to Ramond. You know who it is, well, I'm
(14:45):
not going to tell you, as it would turn out.
What we're gonna do is coming back in the next break,
We're going to play a song by that person, so
that even if you don't know who it is, and
you recognize as that person for one of his classic songs,
you can go, oh, it's all so and so made
that scream, which but this was before he was such
(15:07):
a big name. Can you give us the whole clip
one more time of the guy jumping from the second
floor at the galleria and breaking both his legs.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Stop right there, in the name of the law, Just
you try and catch me, Coppa.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That's a long fall. I thought it was just a
second floor. It's taller than I thought.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
Order it, Richard, you w twenty five package and you
get it all fiberglass hood with air grabbing a scoop.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Mit.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
The Michael Berry fucking hood pins snobile escaped from the ordinary.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Helm.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Scream of Bill Holme is credited to an extra on
that show by the name of Sholby Frederick Woollie, better
known to the world as Shebb Woolly. He also performed
under the name Ben Colder Who's Never Been Colder as
(16:14):
the song he Goes, who you may recognize as the
person who did a parody song of a Key Breaky
Heart in the nineties by the name Shakey Breaky carr
at lining a real big hit. But what a career
this guy had. He was the sound effect man of
Thomas Valentino's major record label during the forties, so there
(16:37):
are a lot of sound effects that are used in
film that are his voice. He was in the movie Hoosiers,
He was in High Noon. He was in the greatest
movie of all time, The Outlaw Josie Wells. He was
a regular in the TV show Rawhide. Ramon, did you
watch Rawhide growing up?
Speaker 8 (16:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
My goodness, Oh my goodness. So before we left for
church on Sunday morning, I would get up and eat
my cereal sitting on my bean bag in front of
the television, and hope that my mother didn't want to
leave early because it was if it was her turn
(17:18):
to volunteer for the nursery where the parents could could well, really,
moms could dump their kids so they could have an
hour of peace and listen to the sermon. If it
was hers, which was about every fourth time, then we'd
have to leave early and I would just pray that
this wasn't one of those weeks, and I would get
(17:39):
up early and I would watch Rawhide. But if you
watched Rawhide, you had to watch from the beginning because
the highlight was the opening Rollin Rollin wrote great opening
scene Clint Eastwood, of course, and then you would watch Rawhide,
and then you would watch people my age all know
what came on next if you watched FDM out of Eumont,
(18:01):
and that was and I'm sure it was going on
across the country, and that was the Lone Ranger. Two
of the great opening sounds, uh soundtracks in all of television.
Just absolutely credit, just crazy good. Shev Woolley was so
talented and had such a body of work. He was
(18:23):
a rodeo cowboy. He he was a regular on the
TV show he Haw And by the way, he's the
one who wrote the opening theme song. That guy has
more uh six degrees of Kevin Bacon connections to our
(18:44):
lives than you can you can possibly imagine President Trump
posted to his truth social Israel. Israel and Iran came
to me almost simultaneously and said peace. The time was now.
The world Middle East are the real winners. Both nations
(19:06):
will see tremendous love, peace, and prosperity in their futures.
They have so much to gain and yet so much
to lose if they stray from the road of righteousness
and truth. The future for Israel and Iran is unlimited
and filled with great promise. God bless you both. Of course,
(19:29):
after this, Israel had planes in the air headed toward Iran,
and President Trump had to drop an F bomb in
frustration over what he was witnessing, which threatened to challenge
that peace. But it would appear now that we are
good to go, here is Here is President Trump talking
(19:51):
about how unhappy he was to find out that his
ceasefire was in danger. Clip number thirteen. Mister robis they
violated violated it too.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
In is Israel.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of bombs the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay,
now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in
the first hour. It just drop everything you have on them.
So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
Iron either, But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out
(20:24):
this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that
were shot perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not
happy about that. You know what we have, We basically
have two countries that have been fighting so long and
so hard that they don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
What the heck they're doing.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
You understand that, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I hear people who use the F bomb. It's such
a provocative word. And I hear people who use it
in the streets, normal people in the workplace, and they
use it almost like um or like or well. They
use it as a placekeepers, as a as a way
(21:10):
to keep the flow of conversation going when they need
when they need an adjective and they don't really have one,
or they just need an article a word to slip
it into a sentence. And I find it very harsh
to the ears. I've never understood how people will do
that in public when they're children around. Sure, it's just
(21:33):
an utterance of a word. It could instead be tuck
or ruck or buck, But it does have a meaning,
and that's why they use that particular word instead of
woolly bully or killy kelley or whatever other set of sounds.
It has a meaning, sort of like when people get
(21:54):
a tattoo on their face and then they go, why
are you judging me? It's just ink on the skin? Well,
why'd you do it? We all know what's going on here.
It's exactly according to script. President Trump does not in public.
I don't know how he talks in private. He does
not in public speak in this manner, and I don't
(22:15):
think he speaks without understanding what he says. He has
a delivery which suggests he considers what he says before
he says it. Biden had a tendency even before the
dementia set in, even before his brain decline. Biden had
a history throughout his career of getting so far out
(22:37):
ahead of himself that the words were ahead of his brain,
and he would sometimes catch himself or he would be
caught having said things that he wished he hadn't. Trump
doesn't do that. I think he was trying to express
here a degree of genuine not frustration anger, particularly at
(23:02):
bb netan Yahoo that all right, dude, we gave you
what you wanted. Knock it off.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I hope that was the intention, and I hope the
message stop. It's time for this thing to be over.
And who's doing Michael Ley.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Credit?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I will give you credit. That is uh, that is
very smart radio. You used the Blues Brothers version. I
caught what you did there. I did. It was on
this day in nineteen eighty seven that one of the
great actors of the silver screen, one of the greatest
actors of my lifetime. And he was fifty four years
(23:50):
older than I was, which means that by the time
I was old enough to figure out who the heck
he was, he was well into his sixties. And I
am talking, of course, about Jackie Glese. And we'll start
for some of our older folks, because we have a
lot of eighty plus listeners and we love them and
we don't mind super serving them. This is a scene
from The Honeymooners, and in the scene, Alice tells Ralph
(24:13):
exactly why she didn't darn his socks. What great writing
this show has. Phenomenal Right, if you've never watched The Honeymooners.
You can find episodes anywhere and everywhere. This was good
quality slapstick writing.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I suppose you didn't have time to sod easy.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
This sucks.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I'm sorry, Ralph.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
No, I didn't no.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Excuse or anything.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Have you got any excuse why it didn't?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So to size find know why I haven't got an excuse.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
You're a crank to give me an excuse us.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know that, I know you know that.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
I know what you've been doing around here all day,
sitting there pulling around.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
You know something.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Right after you left the house this morning, I got
in one of those stilly moons nine. You know how
I get sometime so jes a laugh. Well, I do
the reconstitions and make the bed and take a garbage down. Now,
when I came back up, I was still in such
a funny mood. Now I thought, why should I settle
down to the trudgery of ending your socks. So I
scrubbed the kitchen floor.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Then, you know something, I was still so giddy and
so gay over this whole thing, and I thought, I'm
really enjoying myself. So I washed all the windows.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Then, Ralph, I went out and I did the marketing,
and I came back with a pot roast, and I
put the.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Pot rolls down the stove, and while I.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Was cooking, I went in and I cleaned out the
bedroom Glossom.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now, I know this may sound like work to you, Ralph,
but it isn't.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
It's fun, good sport.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Do you know why it's such a good spot, Ralph,
Because I'm so loaded with modern conveniences, just loaded steam
ions and vacuum cleaners and dishwashers and washing machines, and.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Say nothing of this lovely new.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Modern repetrator over here. Oh that reminds me it's time
to the Frosteds.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
That will give you a rough idea, Ralph.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
But what a joy it is working around this apartment
all day.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
You know, could have so up to date.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
I am the only girl in town with an ionic kitchen.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
That place looks like you got blacks out of the black.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You know, that was a time when theater and film
represented aspects of people's lives with which they could identify.
When's the last time you had a housewife's character? Period?
But when's the last time you had a housewife's character
who anybody at home could identify with? Every woman at
(26:33):
home was identifying with all the tasks and chores she
had to do and her husband thinking that she does nothing.
That's just quality writing with an understanding of your audience. Now,
you couldn't have a woman who would be sassy while
at the same time very sympathetic, just that they'd have
(26:55):
to be a woman that wanted to be a man.
Or in any case, let's get back to Jackie Gleeson,
who died on this day in nineteen eighty seven. Ten
years before he died, was one of the most formative
movie moments of my life, and that was Smoking the Bandit.
And as we have talked about many times on this show,
(27:18):
the character of Buford t Justice played by Jackie Gleeson,
was personally recruited by Burt Reynolds. Gleason was thought to
be washed up, done, he was old, he was not
in good health, even though it was only in his sixties,
(27:38):
and the story goes Burt Reynolds called him personally to
recruit him for the role. Hal Needham, who was a stuntman,
was his directorial debut, and he basically told Jackie Gleeson,
you're a great improviser. Your improvisational humor is as good
as it gets. If there's something you want to do
and it's not in the script, you just do it
(28:00):
comes out and the toilet papers trailing behind him. That
was all Jackie Gleeson. But for my money, of all
the brilliant moments of that movie, and there are so
many that involve Jackie Gleeson when he goes walking in
and two people in my life could quote this scene
word for word, and that is my friend Ray Hunt
(28:21):
and my late brother Christopher Wayneberry, word for word, and
I never make them stop because it is one of
the great scenes of all film in my mind, the
Diablo sandwich scene. I'm gonna tell you, man.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
A dollar and a half or keep chance, let me
have idar.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I go sandwich. I've doc got back, but I'm making fast.
I'm gonna damn.
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Murray you are.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
John dam Loan ducks dock and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
He must be in an eleb hurry. I said, bet
your ass on that boy. Oh yeah, to tell less
say coming room. Let me help you out here.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
Get that off there. That's a way wing off, money flying.
We are chasing somebody chasing you. Nobody chasing me, boy,
compl chasing that me. I'm all away from the doctor.
I can't text you any I said, I thank robber boot.
All right.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
The fact problem is big along side of what this
dude is doing.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Uh almost killed funny law.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Driving, good people, backyard, knocking down mail boxer, got brought
in the car took of course, the state.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Rhyme got the man.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
I don't think he's got a permission and that's good nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
How's that be?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I did what?
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Let me pay for it?
Speaker 10 (29:59):
Let me pay No, if you're an officer the law,
I'll be honest.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm much applied. Where's again, I gotta get the squirre
