Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time Luck and Load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air. Let's talk
about a.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Society that is pushing people out into the world. They'll
socially promote this kid so he'll get his high school diploma.
Not that it's gonna matter. Nobody's ever gonna ask for it. Now,
what does he do? We don't like to admit this,
(00:50):
but the reality is when you boil things down, and
when you boil things down, you often have to say
of things, things that are unpleasant. It SAPs the beauty
of them. But one of the functions of school, especially
for about fourteen to eighteen year olds, is it's a
(01:12):
place to get kids out of the house, off the streets,
under state control for about seven hours a day. That's
the function that it serves. The public school system that
we still employ to this day, or at least some
(01:33):
version some derivation of it, was designed by industrialists to
take kids off the farm, put them into a finishing school,
teach them the basic skills, but more importantly, teach them
the most important traits that every industrialist wants to make
(01:56):
sure that the future labor force has obseemly intense respect
for conformity, an ability to work within a hierarchical environment
with rules, to respect those rules, and to perpetuate those rules,
(02:17):
and to cast out those who don't follow those rules,
so that you make for a good employee. You don't
have to like that. The history of American public education
is not one based on the farmhouse out in the
country teaching you reading and writing, so when you travel
across the country on the Chisholm Trail, you can write
(02:39):
MA and paw a nice letter. That's not what public
education in this country was designed by the big donors, financers, guiders,
architects of public education. It was designed as a pipeline
into their plants, their industrial facilities, so you would be
good worker bees be.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That asn't me. I grew up in that environment.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I grew up in an environment of respect and trust
and integrity and authority and all of those things, and
most people did and didn't even understand it. You will
pledge allegiance to your country, you will pledge allegiance to
the law, Your pledge allegiance to each other. They would
be respected, and truthfully, that's a better world than what
we're seeing today. When you break all those things down,
(03:25):
but what happens. What happens when you can take these
kids off the streets for seven hours a day and
now all of a sudden, you can't What happens?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Eighteen years old?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You got hormones coursing through your blood. You're young and strong,
your brain has not fully formed, your decision making is poor.
You have nowhere to go. So you're bored. You're terribly,
terribly bored. You have a lot of energy. You have
(04:00):
a desire to do something, to be something. And I
don't mean you know the senior vice president at the bank.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You want to.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You want to engage, You wanna, you want to make mary,
you want to make memories. You wanna you want to
be involved in the big game. And so the easiest
way to do that is to get hold of a gun.
Not hard to do. Most guns that are stolen are
stolen out the console of my truck or your truck.
(04:30):
Now you got a gun. Now you go waving that
thing around, and all of a sudden, you're a superhero.
People get out of the way, they shriek. It gives
you a sense of power. You never had that power
and control. And so you start engaging in this behavior
and Hopefully you don't kill anybody or hurt anybody too badly,
(04:51):
but there's a chance you will, and eventually you'll be
caught because you're not very smart and you don't plan
these things out. They're very spontaneous, and so before long
you're gonna be caught. Your buddy's gonna rat you out,
you're gonna you're Now you're gonna learn another institution that
we've created for these people. And that institution goes from
(05:15):
the public school to the public justice system.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So now, so after we pour all this money into
the schools, now we pour all this money into the
criminal justice system. And so now you begin to learn
that process. And so some fella in an ill fitting
suit that eats too much shows up and he tells you,
you know, look, we're gonna show up at this time.
We're gonna do this, and you're gonna here's what you're
(05:40):
gonna do. Yes, sir, no, sir, I am okay. All right.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So it's your first offense. Okay. So we go through this.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Whole process, all right, and before you know it, you're
nineteen years old. You've got two charges, you've got one pending.
They dismissed the first two. You got another one pending.
You've got two girls carrying babies for you, one girl
that has a three year old.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You're nineteen.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Did I mention you don't really have a place to live,
you don't have a way to make money, you don't
have anything to do. And you started figuring out you're
not going to be here for the long haul, for
the long haul. This this isn't this isn't a this,
this isn't the long game. So you start realizing, just
(06:24):
live in the moment, and when you live in the moment,
there are no consequences, no long term effects. You think
about things very differently. It's meal to meal, sex to sex,
engagement to engagement, shooting to shooting. And so now when
the pooh poop behind you as you're you know, burgling
(06:44):
a house or you know, doing whatever you're doing, takes
on a new meaning. Why not run? And you're not
hearing any consequences. You're not seeing any consequences because you've
been arrested and it didn't change your life. You weren't
thrown in a cage, and you're out on the streets
all day, every day, and guess what you can drive
across town quant Alex said years ago, why are we
(07:05):
rioting in our neighborhood. Let's go burn down River Oaks. Yeah,
why not tangle Wood, get all of them. And so
you realize you've got freedom of movement. You can you
can go where you want and go into any store
in any neighborhood. And there's lots of old people. And
these used to be a Pontiac, Bonneville or a Cadillact.
(07:29):
But there's all these old people and they're frail, and
they're coming in and out of stores, and they have
a purse, and you can steal all their stuff, and
they're by themselves, and even if you do knock them
in the head, nobody else is going.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
To do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And even if a cop does come upon you, and
even if you have to go down and fill out
the stupid paper where you're so annoying and sit there
for a while, you're going to be released.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And you have no job skills.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
How long does this go on to your twenty three
hundred and sixty five days? You can mug five people
in a day without even really working at it. You
gotta have money because you want to be able to
go to Popeyes or water burger or wherever else you
eat and hang out and do it. You do you
want some shoes or to steal those? How long does
(08:12):
this continue? How many people like this do we have
in a country until we were a broken down third
world country? Or when did we become Michael Berry's show.
Every day you see a video of carnival cruise where
(08:35):
wigs are being pulled off, sister girls are coming in
throwing punches, and maybe a dude comes in and a
bra gets pulled out and pulled off, and a boob
comes popping out, and somebody else's butt naked and still
scratching and clawed, and the eyelashes are coming off, and
(08:58):
a bunch of people are filmed, and invariably the people
that are filming it are providing great commentary because they
see this all day every day. This kind of thing
right here, you'd need counseling. Two weeks later. You're not
gonna believe what happened all around me. It was mayhem.
It was a jungle, it was a mad house. It
(09:19):
was like animals. It would it would be described in
a not even human terminology, because you've never been exposed
to anything like this. It's a it's an all out
brawl of the worst order. And you watch the white
people in the middle of all this, they're just scandalized.
They cannot believe this is happening. And you watch the
(09:40):
black people in the midst of it all, they're not
bothered at all. This is entertainment. This is Wednesday. We're
on a cruise. What you think we came here far
up in this bitch. And so everybody's got their camera
out and they're filming, and they're offering a running commentary.
Oh yeah, yeah, bout she about to whoopow, she about
(10:00):
to whoop her ass. And then another friend comes in. No, no,
you stay out, you stay out, the imposing rules. You know,
this is entertainment, like this is this is free entertainment.
This happens a lot, and there's kind of a code
of the West.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You know, you don't do this, and you do do
this and this person.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And then sometimes, if you're lucky, because this makes the
video much better, somebody pulls out a gun and starts shooting,
and you know they're not They don't spend a lot
of time at the range, so they're inaccurate. So somebody
else gets shot and they're laying out and they're bleeding.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh man, you bleed.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Hey, look at you.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Man, he messed up. Man, he met that's massift up. Man.
He look at that.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
He wasn't even in it. Now now he wasn't even
in it. He's standing over there. He over there fuming
and that do you see it over there? He shot him,
shot at him, shot at him, and he missed. He
hit that dude over there, and now he about to die.
Look at Ain't nobody helping him?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You're not helping him. Hein nobody. He look at Oh
my god, he gonna die. That dude gonna die, right,
he about to die. This jacked up. We got you
know what, we better get it. Don't you have a
warrant out?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You know what we need to Oh they coming, they
got hear the cops coming. They coming, They y'all they coming,
they coming. Y'all better get out. This is every day.
This is reality. Nobody's talking about this. Nobody wants to.
Nobody knows how, because nobody can. Nobody can give you
the blow by blow that I just did. Not because
(11:34):
they didn't see it. They saw it, but because there
is this, just this, this these hyenas in American society
that have destroyed careers of entertainers, media people, sports people,
public people, news people, corporate employees. You cannot talk about this.
(11:54):
We will all just collectively pretend it doesn't happen. Yeah, yeah,
like Uncle Ernest who's a pedophile, and everybody knows it,
but we all just pretend it doesn't happen, right, and
then it just goes away till it doesn't. And this
is what happens. And this is going on all across
the country. And here is a teacher who dared break
(12:19):
with the code. Oh, he's hated for this. How dare
you go tell the white people that we got black
kids coming out of school can't read. How dare you
do that? You keep that in the community. You don't
tell what happens at the church. You don't tell what
happens in the neighborhood. You don't tell what happens in
the criminal justice system. M hm, Snitches get stitches. This
is how these things happen. It is covered up. There,
(12:41):
there's a whole mechanism to cover this thing up. There's
there's coping techniques. This ain't slavery, this ain't Jim Crow.
This is a broken busted up culture. And the worst
part about it, The worst part about it is all
the anguish is being expressed by.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
This school teacher. But this school teacher will be okay.
The school teacher's obviously.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
A good person of conscience and conviction who cares, and
that can be hard because we have a call in
to get him on the show up. If he's honest,
he's probably not getting much support from his assistant principal
or his principal, who are most likely I don't know
what school this is at, oh Weekley, I don't know
the principle there, so I can say this, but they
(13:26):
are most likely people who were teachers and hated teaching
so they got into administration because that's where the money is.
Public education in this country is not about teaching children.
Has nothing to do with teaching children. It's a jobs program,
just like most of the rest of the government. But worse,
it's a jobs program and the money is to be
made by getting the hell out of the classroom. And
(13:49):
so I was watching a comedian last night and he
started talking about that this is such a canard. Democrats
say it, comedians saying it will spit en up old
public education. We don't pay our teachers. We don't pay
our Is that what's wrong in our schools? We don't
pay our teachers because teacher pay us better now than
it's ever been. My teachers didn't make anything, I mean
(14:11):
just peanuts, but they cared. They weren't there to indoctrinate,
of course, and then again, they didn't have purple hair
and a bone through their nose. They weren't an angry
lesbian pissed off, and they weren't trying to recruit for
their team in the classroom and talk about the destruction
of America and how great mal was. And they also
weren't making much money. So we have even Republican. Oh
(14:34):
pay the teachers. We pay the teachers. We're going to
pay the teachers. Did anybody go into teaching because there
was good money in it? Is that what happened? Did
anybody think to themselves, I really want to make a
lot of money.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I want to go into teaching.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And they got there and they said, well, shoot, this
didn't turn out to plan. I'm going to get out
of this because this turns out they lied. There ain't
no money over here. There's actually more money per hour.
If you consider then people realize, but nobody will dare
say that, because that's how you get destroyed in the polls.
(15:06):
Nobody can say, actually, there's a lot of jobs that
pay way less than teachers and don't get three months
off in Christmas and out at three.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, but do you know how hard teachings you got
to be around the kid? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, I kind of get that impression, kind of like
being an emergency room nurse.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't think that's good. How about corrections officers? We
don't talk about them. How would you like to wake
up every morning, kiss your wife and kids by and
know you are heading to the cage where all of
the aforementioned thugs are hanging out and they're playing games,
and they're humping each other. They'll help you if you
look the other way, and they get away with it.
(15:46):
And they got shanks, and they got systems, and they're
making drugs, and they're raping and they're initiating, and they're
playing all these awful games. And these are the worst
con true con men, I mean, the worst of the worst.
And you got to all day every day hope you
could make it through eight hours and get out alive.
(16:08):
You got to walk down the hall with three of
them behind you that if they decide today's the day,
then today's the day.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You're not stopping them. You're not armed. Yeah, how about
we pay corrections. There's the problem. We don't pay corrections.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Official shit not got a hard shot Michael Berry show.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So if you were.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
To step back and take a macro, look, I like
pie charts. You like pie chart from one? That was
half the fun of trivial pursuit. Remember you had the
little pies. I wore that yellow out yellow was history.
I wasn't as good in the pink back then because
that was entertainment, and so I've improved. I'd probably do
(16:53):
much better today. Trivial pursuit. You forget how good trivial pursuit? Well,
how much on trivia? Or maybe that was just me
because I got a lot of nerd in me. I
don't like the stupid games that are you know, stand
up and do charades and pull at your butt and
pinch your ear and guess this that that for me,
(17:14):
those are games for not smart people. Trivial pursuit, now,
that was an opportunity to shine.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I'd like to see myself as a younger man where
I was as bad as I am now but zero
self perspective.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Hey, y'all want to play triuer for soon to be fun.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
We'll go over stop Feld, political history and geography, blues geography.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know, I don't know if y'all remember blue geography.
Blues a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So if you were to look at the pie chart
of public life in America, well, let's look at the
bigger pie chart of.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Life in America.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And so most of our economy is the exchange of
goods and services, all right, So you create something and
you could you create things, and you consume things. It's
really that simple. Well, I don't mean no, I'll work
at a plant, okay. You when you work at a plant,
(18:08):
you were involved in the creation of a product, whether
you're turning wrenches, whether you're you're filling a line, whether
you're moving the product from one side of the plant
to the other. You were involved in the creation of
a product. And in exchange for the purchase of that
product or service. Lawyers, accountants, doctors, nurses, in exchange for
(18:33):
that good or service, you get something in return. And
that's why we had to have currency. The early economies
struggled with a way to create transactions in a manner
that were efficient. Increasing efficiency increases wealth. That's what AI
(18:54):
is designed to do. And for anybody who says, well,
there mayis talks I ain't doing as well as I
were supposed to. The reason and not doing as well
as they're supposed to is because the market always spazzes out.
They have a premature ejaculation. And what happens is they.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Go, oh ai, AI, it's.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Cool, man, I saw it. And so that you're not
going to have any labor costs. So companies are going
to be a million times more profitable. And so if
a company made one point two billion last year, this year,
they're going to make three trillion. So I'm going to
go drive their stock up by buying as much as
I can, and then everybody does that, and then they don't.
They go from a one point two billion dollar company
(19:31):
the first year to a one point six billion dollar company,
a thirty three percent increase. That's impressive historically, but no, no,
they had to tell you it was going to make
a trillion dollars. And so the stock plummets because it
didn't deliver on what it was supposed to and it
went too high for there to be a real value play.
But if you look at the exchange of goods and
(19:52):
services in a society, that's what an economy is when
you get right down to it. Few other factors, but
that's what an economy is. And so what of the
exchange of goods and services we have agreed as a society,
and yes, you've agreed, whether you like it or not,
to say, all right, but for every exchange of goods
and services, we're gonna come in and we're gonna scoop
out a certain percentage of that and we're gonna prove it,
(20:14):
put it over here in this bucket, and that's going
to pay for what we'll call public goods, and that
will be we will pave roads, and we'll build bridges,
and we'll have a national security because all this thing
falls apart as somebody comes in here and takes it
all from us, which historically they have, and then there's
(20:35):
teeth gnashing, lamentations and the women are raped and the
men are killed. You don't want that, so, all right,
So we'll put this amount for national security. And then
we'll put this amount over here, and I'm gonna blur city,
state and county and city, county, state, and federal. Put
this amount over here for the police because they're gonna
have bad people that are gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, we're gonna put this amount over here, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So there's a big chunk of the economy, which is
a percentage of everything you create and consume. There's a
big chunk of that that goes for a few things
that have an outsized component in our economy. First, public health.
(21:16):
What happens if somebody doesn't bother to ever make any money.
There are people in our society a lot who literally
never work, they never contribute anything. But we've decided we'll
still give them healthcare because healthcare is a right.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
How does that happen? Thomas Soule said it best.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You can never have a right that requires someone else
to do something for you. Because if a person declares
I have a right to healthcare, I'm sick, and every
nurse and doctor says, okay, good luck. No, no, no, no, no,
you have to give me the health care. No, because
(21:58):
you can't pay for it, you still have to give
it to me. You are required I have a right.
Your right can never require that someone else delivers something
for free. That's a problem, but that's a little high
brow for the leftist mind or for their supporters.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They know better.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
So we got the public health all right, So we're
going to pay for things for people that don't take
care of themselves because now they're a victim, as if
they showed up a victim on day one and didn't
make a bunch of stupid decisions. All right, Then we're
going to have the education process that we talked about earlier.
So we're going to have a system by which we're
going to give you the skill set, both academic and
(22:40):
and personal. We're going to teach you conflict resolution. We're
going to teach you to communicate using the standard language
that the rest of us use. We're going to teach
you the basics of your civic duty, jury dutey, voting,
all these sorts of things. And in the process, we'll
probably teach you some other things, all right, math in science,
(23:01):
the joys of cutting your willie off.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Because it's public education, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So you got this massive lump of money that we
spend on that that system is by all accounts broken.
But that system is not broken because it's insufficiently funded.
It's better funded today than it's ever been funded. It's
a higher percentage of our economy than it's ever been.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It is a growth industry.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But you and I both know that for a lot
of people going into that industry, they're the worst of
the worst, not the best of the best. If you
can't do, you teach. So we've got people going into
public education, and you look at the news every day,
there's some naybob every day getting arrested for just a
stupid crime. And these are the people that are the
daily protesters. These are the people that are DSA members.
(23:46):
These are the people that are not very smart and
not very good. But Michael, my wife's a teacher, yeah,
at a rural district in Belleville, God bless her, and
she brings supplies for the kids that don't have them.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
She's not what I'm talking about. You have to underst that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So we spent all this mon on the public education
syst all, right, But invariably because there is no family
unit in a certain subculture of the black community, not
all blacks, but some because there is no family unit
to speak of. In fact, there's no social unit to
speak of. The church has fallen, the family has fallen,
the community has fallen. It's in absolute free faults. It's
(24:24):
one big Jasmine Crockett protest. And so now what do
we do? Now? You're birthing these people out into society
where they've got automobiles and guns that both.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Pretty cheap, still automobility. Now we got the prison system,
we got the courses.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Do you realize how much of what you make and
do every day is paying for this group of people?
And the Democrats the whole time are calling you racist,
that you're not doing enough process that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Fend mine just sent me a video. It's lost all
expression said. If you're going to play the game both
you gots tonight as you got to do.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Michael, it's tenantus. How's it tenetus? That's how it's said
by whom? So how you're supposed to say it? All? Right?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Is it Missouri or Missouri?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well I say Missouri, but apparently there they say Missouri.
Does it matter? Language is what you make of it.
There's no official rule. Hard and Fast saw commercial in
New Orleans years ago. It was pretty clever, and it
said is it corn delay or carondelet? And they had
people who had moved in later, like uh, Emerald Lagassi
(25:41):
and they say it's Colonnderette. And then they'd have the
dudes with the the old yat accent and they'd say
Caron Delay and was it Iberville or Iberville, And you'd
have prominent New Orleanians who would say it both different ways.
So when people feel this need to say, this is
how it is said. What they're trying to do, and
(26:01):
this is the human experience is grab control in a
world where they feel like they are a free particle
flying through the universe like a comment about to crash.
But if I can hold firm to a rule, this
is how things are said. Well, once you do that,
then everybody else has to say it, because God forbid
it might change. So I'll say TONIGHTUS and you say tenetus.
(26:22):
The word was made up anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
It could be tenetus, it does not matter. So go,
I'll just save you that email right now that I
just would knock down my emails by twenty today. Sent
me a video that I guess doctor Ellie gave him
at memorial hearing because he went in for tonightas and
(26:42):
she said, you have a lot of whacks. You want
me to do a wax treatment on you? And he said,
you know heard Michael talk about that. I wasn't sure
if that was real or if he was joking. And
she goes, oh, it's real, and apparently because you know
they do it. Remember the old rainbow vackle tramo. You'd
come in and I sold those door to door. I
(27:03):
didn't really sell them. I went with Scott Freeland as
he sold them. And when you vacuum the carpet, the
woman who's at home is she bored? Right? She getting
a little attention. She's sitting there by herself and her
house coach. She hasn't gotten dressed. There's bad daytime TV on,
she's putting on weight. The kids are getting on her nerves.
They're off to school now. Her husband's not paying attention
(27:25):
to her anymore. She didn't have the internet back to
she didn't have Facebook, so she could see you know
who got married. She could compare her life and say, well,
at least I'm better than Vanessa Bryant.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Look at that, a loser she married.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
So she's sitting around and you're coming in and you
can show her most anything. She just wants a little
attention at this point, and you fire that rainbow vacuum
cleaner up and you start in on that shag carpeting
and if there's an ounce of dirt, it's coming through
that water like, oh man, this is really working, and
she's blown away.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, this is really something else.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, that's kind of what the earwax thing does when
you start seeing those chunks come out.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Of your ear.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Ramon, you have no idea because I have. I don't
know if you if I can tell her or nothing.
I have seen Ramon go go to town on his ear
with a truck key.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
He will get a key down in there and start digging.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Now, I've seen some things in my life, but I've
never seen I mean, I guess I have.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
My grandfather used to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But he gets down in there with the with the
with his uh key and he gets to digging.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And then when it comes out, he looks at it.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You know, our our veterinarian when she digs in George's ear,
whatever she pulls out, she puts it up there for
George to sniff, and then she lets her lick it.
And my wife said, you always do that, Why do
you do that? And she said, well, she's not as
tactile as we are. They do they do everything by
(28:49):
sniff and if a smell interests them, then they taste it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
And you ever tasted your ear wax? Ramo, Okay, I
knew you had.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I just want to see if you'd be honest, right,
because nobody admits they ever eating a bug or chewed
their toenail or tasting their ear wax, but everybody has.
It's okay, you know the other one that makes you blind.
Nobody admits to that either, but everybody's done it anyway.
So she said, well, they they're curious and it builds,
it builds trust with me.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Memorial hearing. Lets you taste yours too. Oh that's nice,
doctor Ellie does that for you. That's so nice.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I never tried that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, anyway, So she tells my wife, well, when you
when you dig in it, she doesn't like you digging
in her ear all right, she is, you're invading her space,
and how I'm gonna be there, how much worse is
gonna get? But the next time I do it, she
knows that she's gonna get to sniff and smell it, and
she's curious.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh, I say, huh.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
That's some good dog's psychology stuff right there. Anyway, So
the good news is he got the ear wax cleaned out,
and he was very happy about that. But he said
that he is very, very very hopeful that his tonight
is will be healed. And this is my little reminder,
because I make my living with my voice in my hearing.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Rush struggled with his hearing.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's amazing that he did not have a speech impediment
considering how much of his hearing he lost. He did
say a number of times that he stopped doing voices.
He couldn't He could not do his Jesse Jackson voice
the Justice Brothers if you remember to the same extent,
because he lost his hearing, and if you remember, he
had what looked like a blood glue close monitor above
his ear planted in his head. It was made by
(30:28):
starts with an N or an S navigant what was
that called. It's like a navel or anyway, he had that,
and he had the best technology available to help him
hear again, and having lost his hearing was a huge
impediment to his ability to do his job. But this
(30:50):
is my little reminder that I all kidding aside. It
might not seem like it, but I love you, guys.
I get to do what I do, which is express
myself and read and share ideas and bounce ideas and
hear ideas from you. I get to do that because,
for whatever reason, you've found this little community and you've
(31:10):
been supportive of it, and I want you to be
as healthy and happy and wealthy as you can possibly
be in your own comfort zone. So stop listening to
the music so loud that it gives you a ringing headache.
Letter You are destroying your hearing and you're gonna want it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's number one.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Turn the speakers down everywhere you are all the time.
Do not go into loud places.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That was the whole reason that has been my biggest
struggle on an RCC two is I will never ever
do loud music again ever. I'm not going to damage
my hearing and I'm not going to put myself in
a situation where I'm doing that and I can't get out.
The other thing is people will come up, they get
(32:00):
drunk and they want to tell you something, and so
they lean in and they want to tell you in
your ear, except they scream men when they do it,
so you just got to you got to push people
off anyway. That got me thinking about memorial hearing and
if you can't hear. I met a guy the other
day my kids were moving in and one of the
other kids dad couldn't hear, so we couldn't have a conversation.
I wanted to tell him, how about I take you
(32:22):
to memorial hearing and we get you set up. There
are a lot of people who will tell me, well,
I had hearing aids. Yeah, you had cheap ones and
they weren't any good. You bought them at Costco and
they put These people will get you hearing.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Take care of your hearing it.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Matt, you know what we're Let's open the phone line
seven one, three, nine nine, one thousand,
It's that time time Luck and Load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air. Let's talk
about a.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Society that is pushing people out into the world. They'll
socially promote this kid so he'll get his high school diploma.
Not that it's gonna matter. Nobody's ever gonna ask for it. Now,
what does he do? We don't like to admit this,
(00:50):
but the reality is when you boil things down, and
when you boil things down, you often have to say
of things, things that are unpleasant. It SAPs the beauty
of them. But one of the functions of school, especially
for about fourteen to eighteen year olds, is it's a
(01:12):
place to get kids out of the house, off the streets,
under state control for about seven hours a day. That's
the function that it serves. The public school system that
we still employ to this day, or at least some
(01:33):
version some derivation of it, was designed by industrialists to
take kids off the farm, put them into a finishing school,
teach them the basic skills, but more importantly, teach them
the most important traits that every industrialist wants to make
(01:56):
sure that the future labor force has obseemly intense respect
for conformity, an ability to work within a hierarchical environment
with rules, to respect those rules, and to perpetuate those rules,
(02:17):
and to cast out those who don't follow those rules,
so that you make for a good employee. You don't
have to like that. The history of American public education
is not one based on the farmhouse out in the
country teaching you reading and writing, so when you travel
across the country on the Chisholm Trail, you can write
(02:39):
MA and paw a nice letter. That's not what public
education in this country was designed by the big donors, financers, guiders,
architects of public education. It was designed as a pipeline
into their plants, their industrial facilities, so you would be
good worker bees be.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That asn't me. I grew up in that environment.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I grew up in an environment of respect and trust
and integrity and authority and all of those things, and
most people did and didn't even understand it. You will
pledge allegiance to your country, you will pledge allegiance to
the law, Your pledge allegiance to each other. They would
be respected, and truthfully, that's a better world than what
we're seeing today. When you break all those things down,
(03:25):
but what happens. What happens when you can take these
kids off the streets for seven hours a day and
now all of a sudden, you can't What happens?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Eighteen years old?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You got hormones coursing through your blood. You're young and strong,
your brain has not fully formed, your decision making is poor.
You have nowhere to go. So you're bored. You're terribly,
terribly bored. You have a lot of energy. You have
(04:00):
a desire to do something, to be something. And I
don't mean you know the senior vice president at the bank.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You want to.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You want to engage, You wanna, you want to make mary,
you want to make memories. You wanna you want to
be involved in the big game. And so the easiest
way to do that is to get hold of a gun.
Not hard to do. Most guns that are stolen are
stolen out the console of my truck or your truck.
(04:30):
Now you got a gun. Now you go waving that
thing around, and all of a sudden, you're a superhero.
People get out of the way, they shriek. It gives
you a sense of power. You never had that power
and control. And so you start engaging in this behavior
and Hopefully you don't kill anybody or hurt anybody too badly,
(04:51):
but there's a chance you will, and eventually you'll be
caught because you're not very smart and you don't plan
these things out. They're very spontaneous, and so before long
you're gonna be caught. Your buddy's gonna rat you out,
you're gonna you're Now you're gonna learn another institution that
we've created for these people. And that institution goes from
(05:15):
the public school to the public justice system.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So now, so after we pour all this money into
the schools, now we pour all this money into the
criminal justice system. And so now you begin to learn
that process. And so some fella in an ill fitting
suit that eats too much shows up and he tells you,
you know, look, we're gonna show up at this time.
We're gonna do this, and you're gonna here's what you're
(05:40):
gonna do. Yes, sir, no, sir, I am okay. All right.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So it's your first offense. Okay. So we go through this.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Whole process, all right, and before you know it, you're
nineteen years old. You've got two charges, you've got one pending.
They dismissed the first two. You got another one pending.
You've got two girls carrying babies for you, one girl
that has a three year old.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You're nineteen.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Did I mention you don't really have a place to live,
you don't have a way to make money, you don't
have anything to do. And you started figuring out you're
not going to be here for the long haul, for
the long haul. This this isn't this isn't a this,
this isn't the long game. So you start realizing, just
(06:24):
live in the moment, and when you live in the moment,
there are no consequences, no long term effects. You think
about things very differently. It's meal to meal, sex to sex,
engagement to engagement, shooting to shooting. And so now when
the pooh poop behind you as you're you know, burgling
(06:44):
a house or you know, doing whatever you're doing, takes
on a new meaning. Why not run? And you're not
hearing any consequences. You're not seeing any consequences because you've
been arrested and it didn't change your life. You weren't
thrown in a cage, and you're out on the streets
all day, every day, and guess what you can drive
across town quant Alex said years ago, why are we
(07:05):
rioting in our neighborhood. Let's go burn down River Oaks. Yeah,
why not tangle Wood, get all of them. And so
you realize you've got freedom of movement. You can you
can go where you want and go into any store
in any neighborhood. And there's lots of old people. And
these used to be a Pontiac, Bonneville or a Cadillact.
(07:29):
But there's all these old people and they're frail, and
they're coming in and out of stores, and they have
a purse, and you can steal all their stuff, and
they're by themselves, and even if you do knock them
in the head, nobody else is going.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
To do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And even if a cop does come upon you, and
even if you have to go down and fill out
the stupid paper where you're so annoying and sit there
for a while, you're going to be released.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And you have no job skills.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
How long does this go on to your twenty three
hundred and sixty five days? You can mug five people
in a day without even really working at it. You
gotta have money because you want to be able to
go to Popeyes or water burger or wherever else you
eat and hang out and do it. You do you
want some shoes or to steal those? How long does
(08:12):
this continue? How many people like this do we have
in a country until we were a broken down third
world country? Or when did we become Michael Berry's show.
Every day you see a video of carnival cruise where
(08:35):
wigs are being pulled off, sister girls are coming in
throwing punches, and maybe a dude comes in and a
bra gets pulled out and pulled off, and a boob
comes popping out, and somebody else's butt naked and still
scratching and clawed, and the eyelashes are coming off, and
(08:58):
a bunch of people are filmed, and invariably the people
that are filming it are providing great commentary because they
see this all day every day. This kind of thing
right here, you'd need counseling. Two weeks later. You're not
gonna believe what happened all around me. It was mayhem.
It was a jungle, it was a mad house. It
(09:19):
was like animals. It would it would be described in
a not even human terminology, because you've never been exposed
to anything like this. It's a it's an all out
brawl of the worst order. And you watch the white
people in the middle of all this, they're just scandalized.
They cannot believe this is happening. And you watch the
(09:40):
black people in the midst of it all, they're not
bothered at all. This is entertainment. This is Wednesday. We're
on a cruise. What you think we came here far
up in this bitch. And so everybody's got their camera
out and they're filming, and they're offering a running commentary.
Oh yeah, yeah, bout she about to whoopow, she about
(10:00):
to whoop her ass. And then another friend comes in. No, no,
you stay out, you stay out, the imposing rules. You know,
this is entertainment, like this is this is free entertainment.
This happens a lot, and there's kind of a code
of the West.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You know, you don't do this, and you do do
this and this person.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And then sometimes, if you're lucky, because this makes the
video much better, somebody pulls out a gun and starts shooting,
and you know they're not They don't spend a lot
of time at the range, so they're inaccurate. So somebody
else gets shot and they're laying out and they're bleeding.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh man, you bleed.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Hey, look at you.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Man, he messed up. Man, he met that's massift up. Man.
He look at that.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
He wasn't even in it. Now now he wasn't even
in it. He's standing over there. He over there fuming
and that do you see it over there? He shot him,
shot at him, shot at him, and he missed. He
hit that dude over there, and now he about to die.
Look at Ain't nobody helping him?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You're not helping him. Hein nobody. He look at Oh
my god, he gonna die. That dude gonna die, right,
he about to die. This jacked up. We got you
know what, we better get it. Don't you have a
warrant out?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You know what we need to Oh they coming, they
got hear the cops coming. They coming, They y'all they coming,
they coming. Y'all better get out. This is every day.
This is reality. Nobody's talking about this. Nobody wants to.
Nobody knows how, because nobody can. Nobody can give you
the blow by blow that I just did. Not because
(11:34):
they didn't see it. They saw it, but because there
is this, just this, this these hyenas in American society
that have destroyed careers of entertainers, media people, sports people,
public people, news people, corporate employees. You cannot talk about this.
(11:54):
We will all just collectively pretend it doesn't happen. Yeah, yeah,
like Uncle Ernest who's a pedophile, and everybody knows it,
but we all just pretend it doesn't happen, right, and
then it just goes away till it doesn't. And this
is what happens. And this is going on all across
the country. And here is a teacher who dared break
(12:19):
with the code. Oh, he's hated for this. How dare
you go tell the white people that we got black
kids coming out of school can't read. How dare you
do that? You keep that in the community. You don't
tell what happens at the church. You don't tell what
happens in the neighborhood. You don't tell what happens in
the criminal justice system. M hm, Snitches get stitches. This
is how these things happen. It is covered up. There,
(12:41):
there's a whole mechanism to cover this thing up. There's
there's coping techniques. This ain't slavery, this ain't Jim Crow.
This is a broken busted up culture. And the worst
part about it, The worst part about it is all
the anguish is being expressed by.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
This school teacher. But this school teacher will be okay.
The school teacher's obviously.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
A good person of conscience and conviction who cares, and
that can be hard because we have a call in
to get him on the show up. If he's honest,
he's probably not getting much support from his assistant principal
or his principal, who are most likely I don't know
what school this is at, oh Weekley, I don't know
the principle there, so I can say this, but they
(13:26):
are most likely people who were teachers and hated teaching
so they got into administration because that's where the money is.
Public education in this country is not about teaching children.
Has nothing to do with teaching children. It's a jobs program,
just like most of the rest of the government. But worse,
it's a jobs program and the money is to be
made by getting the hell out of the classroom. And
(13:49):
so I was watching a comedian last night and he
started talking about that this is such a canard. Democrats
say it, comedians saying it will spit en up old
public education. We don't pay our teachers. We don't pay
our Is that what's wrong in our schools? We don't
pay our teachers because teacher pay us better now than
it's ever been. My teachers didn't make anything, I mean
(14:11):
just peanuts, but they cared. They weren't there to indoctrinate,
of course, and then again, they didn't have purple hair
and a bone through their nose. They weren't an angry
lesbian pissed off, and they weren't trying to recruit for
their team in the classroom and talk about the destruction
of America and how great mal was. And they also
weren't making much money. So we have even Republican. Oh
(14:34):
pay the teachers. We pay the teachers. We're going to
pay the teachers. Did anybody go into teaching because there
was good money in it? Is that what happened? Did
anybody think to themselves, I really want to make a
lot of money.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I want to go into teaching.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And they got there and they said, well, shoot, this
didn't turn out to plan. I'm going to get out
of this because this turns out they lied. There ain't
no money over here. There's actually more money per hour.
If you consider then people realize, but nobody will dare
say that, because that's how you get destroyed in the polls.
(15:06):
Nobody can say, actually, there's a lot of jobs that
pay way less than teachers and don't get three months
off in Christmas and out at three.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, but do you know how hard teachings you got
to be around the kid? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, I kind of get that impression, kind of like
being an emergency room nurse.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't think that's good. How about corrections officers? We
don't talk about them. How would you like to wake
up every morning, kiss your wife and kids by and
know you are heading to the cage where all of
the aforementioned thugs are hanging out and they're playing games,
and they're humping each other. They'll help you if you
look the other way, and they get away with it.
(15:46):
And they got shanks, and they got systems, and they're
making drugs, and they're raping and they're initiating, and they're
playing all these awful games. And these are the worst
con true con men, I mean, the worst of the worst.
And you got to all day every day hope you
could make it through eight hours and get out alive.
(16:08):
You got to walk down the hall with three of
them behind you that if they decide today's the day,
then today's the day.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You're not stopping them. You're not armed. Yeah, how about
we pay corrections. There's the problem. We don't pay corrections.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Official shit not got a hard shot Michael Berry show.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
So if you were.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
To step back and take a macro, look, I like
pie charts. You like pie chart from one? That was
half the fun of trivial pursuit. Remember you had the
little pies. I wore that yellow out yellow was history.
I wasn't as good in the pink back then because
that was entertainment, and so I've improved. I'd probably do
(16:53):
much better today. Trivial pursuit. You forget how good trivial pursuit? Well,
how much on trivia? Or maybe that was just me
because I got a lot of nerd in me. I
don't like the stupid games that are you know, stand
up and do charades and pull at your butt and
pinch your ear and guess this that that for me,
(17:14):
those are games for not smart people. Trivial pursuit, now,
that was an opportunity to shine.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I'd like to see myself as a younger man where
I was as bad as I am now but zero
self perspective.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Hey, y'all want to play triuer for soon to be fun.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
We'll go over stop Feld, political history and geography, blues geography.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know, I don't know if y'all remember blue geography.
Blues a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So if you were to look at the pie chart
of public life in America, well, let's look at the
bigger pie chart of.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Life in America.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And so most of our economy is the exchange of
goods and services, all right, So you create something and
you could you create things, and you consume things. It's
really that simple. Well, I don't mean no, I'll work
at a plant, okay. You when you work at a plant,
(18:08):
you were involved in the creation of a product, whether
you're turning wrenches, whether you're you're filling a line, whether
you're moving the product from one side of the plant
to the other. You were involved in the creation of
a product. And in exchange for the purchase of that
product or service. Lawyers, accountants, doctors, nurses, in exchange for
(18:33):
that good or service, you get something in return. And
that's why we had to have currency. The early economies
struggled with a way to create transactions in a manner
that were efficient. Increasing efficiency increases wealth. That's what AI
(18:54):
is designed to do. And for anybody who says, well,
there mayis talks I ain't doing as well as I
were supposed to. The reason and not doing as well
as they're supposed to is because the market always spazzes out.
They have a premature ejaculation. And what happens is they.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Go, oh ai, AI, it's.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Cool, man, I saw it. And so that you're not
going to have any labor costs. So companies are going
to be a million times more profitable. And so if
a company made one point two billion last year, this year,
they're going to make three trillion. So I'm going to
go drive their stock up by buying as much as
I can, and then everybody does that, and then they don't.
They go from a one point two billion dollar company
(19:31):
the first year to a one point six billion dollar company,
a thirty three percent increase. That's impressive historically, but no, no,
they had to tell you it was going to make
a trillion dollars. And so the stock plummets because it
didn't deliver on what it was supposed to and it
went too high for there to be a real value play.
But if you look at the exchange of goods and
(19:52):
services in a society, that's what an economy is when
you get right down to it. Few other factors, but
that's what an economy is. And so what of the
exchange of goods and services we have agreed as a society,
and yes, you've agreed, whether you like it or not,
to say, all right, but for every exchange of goods
and services, we're gonna come in and we're gonna scoop
out a certain percentage of that and we're gonna prove it,
(20:14):
put it over here in this bucket, and that's going
to pay for what we'll call public goods, and that
will be we will pave roads, and we'll build bridges,
and we'll have a national security because all this thing
falls apart as somebody comes in here and takes it
all from us, which historically they have, and then there's
(20:35):
teeth gnashing, lamentations and the women are raped and the
men are killed. You don't want that, so, all right,
So we'll put this amount for national security. And then
we'll put this amount over here, and I'm gonna blur city,
state and county and city, county, state, and federal. Put
this amount over here for the police because they're gonna
have bad people that are gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, we're gonna put this amount over here, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So there's a big chunk of the economy, which is
a percentage of everything you create and consume. There's a
big chunk of that that goes for a few things
that have an outsized component in our economy. First, public health.
(21:16):
What happens if somebody doesn't bother to ever make any money.
There are people in our society a lot who literally
never work, they never contribute anything. But we've decided we'll
still give them healthcare because healthcare is a right.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
How does that happen? Thomas Soule said it best.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You can never have a right that requires someone else
to do something for you. Because if a person declares
I have a right to healthcare, I'm sick, and every
nurse and doctor says, okay, good luck. No, no, no, no, no,
you have to give me the health care. No, because
(21:58):
you can't pay for it, you still have to give
it to me. You are required I have a right.
Your right can never require that someone else delivers something
for free. That's a problem, but that's a little high
brow for the leftist mind or for their supporters.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They know better.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
So we got the public health all right, So we're
going to pay for things for people that don't take
care of themselves because now they're a victim, as if
they showed up a victim on day one and didn't
make a bunch of stupid decisions. All right, Then we're
going to have the education process that we talked about earlier.
So we're going to have a system by which we're
going to give you the skill set, both academic and
(22:40):
and personal. We're going to teach you conflict resolution. We're
going to teach you to communicate using the standard language
that the rest of us use. We're going to teach
you the basics of your civic duty, jury dutey, voting,
all these sorts of things. And in the process, we'll
probably teach you some other things, all right, math in science,
(23:01):
the joys of cutting your willie off.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Because it's public education, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So you got this massive lump of money that we
spend on that that system is by all accounts broken.
But that system is not broken because it's insufficiently funded.
It's better funded today than it's ever been funded. It's
a higher percentage of our economy than it's ever been.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It is a growth industry.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But you and I both know that for a lot
of people going into that industry, they're the worst of
the worst, not the best of the best. If you
can't do, you teach. So we've got people going into
public education, and you look at the news every day,
there's some naybob every day getting arrested for just a
stupid crime. And these are the people that are the
daily protesters. These are the people that are DSA members.
(23:46):
These are the people that are not very smart and
not very good. But Michael, my wife's a teacher, yeah,
at a rural district in Belleville, God bless her, and
she brings supplies for the kids that don't have them.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
She's not what I'm talking about. You have to underst that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
So we spent all this mon on the public education
syst all, right, But invariably because there is no family
unit in a certain subculture of the black community, not
all blacks, but some because there is no family unit
to speak of. In fact, there's no social unit to
speak of. The church has fallen, the family has fallen,
the community has fallen. It's in absolute free faults. It's
(24:24):
one big Jasmine Crockett protest. And so now what do
we do? Now? You're birthing these people out into society
where they've got automobiles and guns that both.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Pretty cheap, still automobility. Now we got the prison system,
we got the courses.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Do you realize how much of what you make and
do every day is paying for this group of people?
And the Democrats the whole time are calling you racist,
that you're not doing enough process that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Fend mine just sent me a video. It's lost all
expression said. If you're going to play the game both
you gots tonight as you got to do.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Michael, it's tenantus. How's it tenetus? That's how it's said
by whom? So how you're supposed to say it? All? Right?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Is it Missouri or Missouri?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well I say Missouri, but apparently there they say Missouri.
Does it matter? Language is what you make of it.
There's no official rule. Hard and Fast saw commercial in
New Orleans years ago. It was pretty clever, and it
said is it corn delay or carondelet? And they had
people who had moved in later, like uh, Emerald Lagassi
(25:41):
and they say it's Colonnderette. And then they'd have the
dudes with the the old yat accent and they'd say
Caron Delay and was it Iberville or Iberville, And you'd
have prominent New Orleanians who would say it both different ways.
So when people feel this need to say, this is
how it is said. What they're trying to do, and
(26:01):
this is the human experience is grab control in a
world where they feel like they are a free particle
flying through the universe like a comment about to crash.
But if I can hold firm to a rule, this
is how things are said. Well, once you do that,
then everybody else has to say it, because God forbid
it might change. So I'll say TONIGHTUS and you say tenetus.
(26:22):
The word was made up anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
It could be tenetus, it does not matter. So go,
I'll just save you that email right now that I
just would knock down my emails by twenty today. Sent
me a video that I guess doctor Ellie gave him
at memorial hearing because he went in for tonightas and
(26:42):
she said, you have a lot of whacks. You want
me to do a wax treatment on you? And he said,
you know heard Michael talk about that. I wasn't sure
if that was real or if he was joking. And
she goes, oh, it's real, and apparently because you know
they do it. Remember the old rainbow vackle tramo. You'd
come in and I sold those door to door. I
(27:03):
didn't really sell them. I went with Scott Freeland as
he sold them. And when you vacuum the carpet, the
woman who's at home is she bored? Right? She getting
a little attention. She's sitting there by herself and her
house coach. She hasn't gotten dressed. There's bad daytime TV on,
she's putting on weight. The kids are getting on her nerves.
They're off to school now. Her husband's not paying attention
(27:25):
to her anymore. She didn't have the internet back to
she didn't have Facebook, so she could see you know
who got married. She could compare her life and say, well,
at least I'm better than Vanessa Bryant.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Look at that, a loser she married.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
So she's sitting around and you're coming in and you
can show her most anything. She just wants a little
attention at this point, and you fire that rainbow vacuum
cleaner up and you start in on that shag carpeting
and if there's an ounce of dirt, it's coming through
that water like, oh man, this is really working, and
she's blown away.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, this is really something else.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, that's kind of what the earwax thing does when
you start seeing those chunks come out.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Of your ear.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Ramon, you have no idea because I have. I don't
know if you if I can tell her or nothing.
I have seen Ramon go go to town on his ear
with a truck key.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
He will get a key down in there and start digging.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Now, I've seen some things in my life, but I've
never seen I mean, I guess I have.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
My grandfather used to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But he gets down in there with the with the
with his uh key and he gets to digging.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And then when it comes out, he looks at it.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You know, our our veterinarian when she digs in George's ear,
whatever she pulls out, she puts it up there for
George to sniff, and then she lets her lick it.
And my wife said, you always do that, Why do
you do that? And she said, well, she's not as
tactile as we are. They do they do everything by
(28:49):
sniff and if a smell interests them, then they taste it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
And you ever tasted your ear wax? Ramo, Okay, I
knew you had.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I just want to see if you'd be honest, right,
because nobody admits they ever eating a bug or chewed
their toenail or tasting their ear wax, but everybody has.
It's okay, you know the other one that makes you blind.
Nobody admits to that either, but everybody's done it anyway.
So she said, well, they they're curious and it builds,
it builds trust with me.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Memorial hearing. Lets you taste yours too. Oh that's nice,
doctor Ellie does that for you. That's so nice.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I never tried that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, anyway, So she tells my wife, well, when you
when you dig in it, she doesn't like you digging
in her ear all right, she is, you're invading her space,
and how I'm gonna be there, how much worse is
gonna get? But the next time I do it, she
knows that she's gonna get to sniff and smell it, and
she's curious.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh, I say, huh.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
That's some good dog's psychology stuff right there. Anyway, So
the good news is he got the ear wax cleaned out,
and he was very happy about that. But he said
that he is very, very very hopeful that his tonight
is will be healed. And this is my little reminder,
because I make my living with my voice in my hearing.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Rush struggled with his hearing.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It's amazing that he did not have a speech impediment
considering how much of his hearing he lost. He did
say a number of times that he stopped doing voices.
He couldn't He could not do his Jesse Jackson voice
the Justice Brothers if you remember to the same extent,
because he lost his hearing, and if you remember, he
had what looked like a blood glue close monitor above
his ear planted in his head. It was made by
(30:28):
starts with an N or an S navigant what was
that called. It's like a navel or anyway, he had that,
and he had the best technology available to help him
hear again, and having lost his hearing was a huge
impediment to his ability to do his job. But this
(30:50):
is my little reminder that I all kidding aside. It
might not seem like it, but I love you, guys.
I get to do what I do, which is express
myself and read and share ideas and bounce ideas and
hear ideas from you. I get to do that because,
for whatever reason, you've found this little community and you've
(31:10):
been supportive of it, and I want you to be
as healthy and happy and wealthy as you can possibly
be in your own comfort zone. So stop listening to
the music so loud that it gives you a ringing headache.
Letter You are destroying your hearing and you're gonna want it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's number one.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Turn the speakers down everywhere you are all the time.
Do not go into loud places.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That was the whole reason that has been my biggest
struggle on an RCC two is I will never ever
do loud music again ever. I'm not going to damage
my hearing and I'm not going to put myself in
a situation where I'm doing that and I can't get out.
The other thing is people will come up, they get
(32:00):
drunk and they want to tell you something, and so
they lean in and they want to tell you in
your ear, except they scream men when they do it,
so you just got to you got to push people
off anyway. That got me thinking about memorial hearing and
if you can't hear. I met a guy the other
day my kids were moving in and one of the
other kids dad couldn't hear, so we couldn't have a conversation.
I wanted to tell him, how about I take you
(32:22):
to memorial hearing and we get you set up. There
are a lot of people who will tell me, well,
I had hearing aids. Yeah, you had cheap ones and
they weren't any good. You bought them at Costco and
they put These people will get you hearing.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Take care of your hearing it.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Matt, you know what we're Let's open the phone line
