Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Man, I got a messed up. I was looking for
a photo. It was a meme and I went and
somehow it popped up on my screen a photo of
cinnamon butter toast.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Mm hmmm. That did me.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I got me to thinking my grandmother. My mom would
drop me off at my grandmother's on the way into town,
and man, I look back. Now, my grandmother lived in
a little ramshackle trailer, but it was the happiest place
I've ever been in my life because she was such
(01:17):
a good cook.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I mean, could she ever cook? Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And I can remember going in. My mom would drop
me off and go in and she'd be She had
her consistent programs that she watched, and usually I'd get
over there about the time Prices Right was on.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Don I done?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You go in there, and she'd chuckle at Bob Barker.
Little did we know, O Bob oh, Bob was the
original me too movement. Bob was getting handsy with them girls.
Oh that was the Swiss Alps. I would do came
up with those games.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
She'd make me a toast, you know, I see people
do this and they're doing it wrong, and I don't.
I guess now is the time to discuss this. The
way it's supposed to be made, Ramon, is you start
with the bread. You do four pieces of bread on
the pan. The pan needs to be kind of bent.
It cannot be a flat pan. It needs to have
been bent over the years and dinged up, and it
(02:19):
needs to have like where batter has dried, but that
batter has turned into petrified rock. You need to have
your scratches, and then you know it's going to be good.
You put your bread on there, and then you take
a dollop of butter on the four corners and one
in the middle. Okay, i've seen people make smiley no, no,
(02:42):
none of that, none of that. So you got the
four corners rule and then the uh that's old law
school rule, Ramon. And then you got the dollop in
the middle. So you've got you've got your five prongs,
and then you come in with your.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Sentiment.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You hit the cinnamon on top of it, and then
you come in real light with the sugar.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And the beautiful thing if it's cooked right, is when
you go to bite into that that butter.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That spot where that.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Butter was that has just made it where it would
just tear apart. Oh man, And you got that combo
of the bread, the butter, the cinnamon, the sugar. I'd
rather eat that the misteak, I said, God's on a strewth.
I'd rather eat that than misteak. That's good.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I had the.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Honor of honors yesterday in the middle of the day. Context.
There's a woman named Tamisha. We call her Miss Tea,
And from the time my kids were real little, she
would babysit our kids when we would go, when we'd
have to travel, or when we'd go on date night
or whatever else. And Miss Tumisha, miss Tea, is a
(03:55):
preschool teacher at one of the schools here in town,
and she would bring her kids with her. Arianna and David,
and so David's always been David and Ariana have been
almost like our own kids. You'll remember I talked about
David when he was playing middle linebacker for Sterling, really
(04:16):
good middle linebacker. And I got a meeting with ed
ors run so a while I was there, I said, hey,
coach is a kid. He said, I'd really like to
come on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And talk.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Know that Houston market is big for us. Whenever you want,
I do have a kid I want to bring to
your attention. He's number twenty two Sterling High School middle linebacker,
and so he checked him out and he gave the
feedback through Gordy his their the voice of LSU who
runs the station in LSU, that he just wasn't big
(04:49):
enough and he wasn't big enough. So his senior year
in high school he starts into wanting to go into
the Marines. His dad died when he was young, raised
by a single Mom's amazing, and he got serious about
the Marines. He did the Marines four years, the first
Marine Corps graduation. If you ever get a chance to
see that Ramote, that's something to see. You go out
(05:12):
to San Diego and see that whole deal, and so
you know. Then he went to Japan, he went to Iraq, Afghanistan.
He's flying these shoulder mounted mortars.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't know what they are. And then he.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Got into the remote controlled drones.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
So four years he said, well, why am I go
ahead and do four more years? So we're coming up
on the end of his eight year Well, Yesterday was
the day of his promotion to E six, which is
a staff sergeant.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It only goes up to E nine for non commissioned officers,
so this is a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And he asked me to pin his.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Rank on his on his lapel me and his mom,
which you know me, I'm damn near about to cry
because it's very moving. So the ceremony was at Law Park,
which is down off mccawa. People like me aren't really
(06:18):
not a lot of people that look like me are
showing up off South Macawa unless you're going to unless
you got a traffic ticket at the JP there at
the little courts there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So there I am.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I pull up at Law Park and go in and
there's a basketball court with a like a pavilion, and
I'm thinking, huh, all right. So we get there and
I said, David, how come the Marines do their promotion
ceremony because everybody there is there for him, it's all
his fellow Marines and stuff. How come the Marines choose
this as their as their spot? He said, I chose this,
(06:52):
He said, I'll tell you, I'm gonna speak to it.
So when he goes to give a speech after they
after they pen him or just make a few remarks.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
He said, this is my home.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I grew up and I mean he grew up in
a ramshackle house. His mother barely kept food on it.
But she kept this family together. She worked, she did
whatever she needed to do. It's an amazing, amazing family.
And he said, this was where I played basketball, I
played football. Run over there, I played baseball right over there.
(07:21):
We rode our bikes through here, and this is home.
This is who I am. And everybody there was sort
of moved, because usually you have some fancy restaurant or
whatever else.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But that was a real honor.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I hear from people, and I can feel it in
the emotions of their email. You know, my son just
went to boot camp, my son just graduated from boot camp.
My daughter just got her promotion in the Navy.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And I read these every day.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And it's in the middle of people saying, hey, what
if we have a constitutional commission and we say Democrats
can't get elected anymore. I'm just thinking out loud, what
do you think? But you read something like that and
you're not in that moment, but I can always tell
that in that person's mind they know that what they're
gonna say is gonna fall short to me of the
(08:08):
emotion that they're feeling, because that's that's your baby.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And now they've all grown up and they're wearing our
country's uniform. It's something to be proud of. I'm incredibly
proud of this show man's staff. Sergeant David Burdon. Hello,
this is Nicki Gilldy and you're listening to this season
Radio Michael Berry. The masque pro Shop is becoming the
White people's Chuck E Cheese. Total ignorance, ignorance as a
(08:36):
wild brawl breaks out at the grand opening of a
mass Pro shop in Odessa, Texas, and of course it's
caught on sul phone video, which has now gone viral.
The story from News nine West in Midland, supposed to
be a.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Time to celebrate the first the best pro shops in
a Permia basin quickly turned into a messive brawl. We
don't know what started to fight, but locals say they're
disappointed this happened right here in their backyard. A brawl
at Bass Pro Shops brought punches, kicks and shouting. Matches
(09:14):
and shoppers left with more than a bargain for taking
bait and tackle a little too seriously on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Being in West Texas is not unexpected, but it's unfortunately
that it happened. It's a bad look with a new
business opening, but I hope it don't deter people from
showing up. You know, some things around here kind of common.
This is a common thing and it is what it.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Is, turning opening weekend into a viral moment for all
the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah. I actually didn't even hear about it initially. A
friend of mine in Oklahoma sent me in the link
to the video. That's how I initially found out about it.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Police responded to a disturbance Saturday afternoon after a man
became upset with another man while waiting in line for
the restroom. The argument escalated into a brawl and spilled
into the lobby, involving several people.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Witnesses say after.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Fighters were removed, they returned back to the store and
started fighting again. That's when Bass Pro Shops kicked off
the people who started to fight and officially banned them
from coming back. So far, no of us were made
and no charges were filed. We also reached out to
general manager Rob Pipkin, and he has no comment at
this time. However, the store is open for business.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
What is it about bass Pro shops that brings out
the crazy and people? I do love listening to that.
I do love listening to small town or watching small
town TV reports because they're not polished.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And so, so you.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Got the black woman in the all white Midland, and
so the one person was doing something and another person
was also doing something over here at the bass Pro shop.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Start the story again.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
At the very beginning, she's attempting to capture the collective
sadness of man, it's why we can't have nothing nice.
We've finally got a bass Pro shop and they had
a fight in it. Listen, listen to the sadness of this.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Holds to be a time to celebrate the first the
best pro shops in a Permian Bason quickly turned into
a message.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
She said, supposed to be We don't know what started today.
She say, supposed to be holds.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
To be a time to celebrate the first the basket
puposed to be a time to celebrate the first the
basket shop.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Celebrate, but we don't celebrate. This was it, man, This
was our moment in the sun. The whole nation was
watching Midland. It's getting a bass Pro shop. But no,
we can't have nothing nice. Y'all messed it up.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Dang it. We worked, you know they did. You know
they did the ribbon cutting.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
They had the mayor and all the commissioners and the
councilmen and the sheriff and everybody was out there. This
is a big day. They put on their best bowlo.
This is a big day. We got a bass Pro
shop in Odessa, Texas. The sky's a living We can
do anything. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What is it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
About bass pro shops that bring out the crazy and people?
A man in Alabama jumped in a fish tank neked,
exposing his fishing worm. The story from WBrC six News.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
All right, back here at the first Alart desk. I
want to tell you about that bass Pro shop story
that we mentioned earlier. Now, I do want to say this.
The story has shocking details, but it was a scary
situation for people in Leeds and the Leads police officer,
should they say. A man intentionally shruck a poll before
taking off his clothes in the Bass Pro shop parking lot,
then running into the store and jumping into that aquarium
that fish tank. Now I want to show you video
(12:31):
of Bass Pro Shop. This is final video that we've
had in house a WBrC. But I just spoke to
Leads Police Chief Paul Irwin. Now that those are the
details he gave me. Leads Police to take him in
the custody. They actually took him to the hospital too.
But while this person was in the back of that
police vehicle, he damaged the back door to Now Chief
Erwin does say the man is suffering from mental illnesses,
(12:51):
and he says this is a dangerous thing for police
officers to deal with, and they're dealing with people who
have mental illnesses and are acting like that. I just
texted him. I'm going to read from text message that
charge that he faces. So he faces charges for this
early conduct, resisting arrest, assault on police, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment,
two counts of that. So this is something we're con
to do to follow this morning. But again, just this
(13:11):
shocking scenario. We've had video from viewers who were there
at the Beast Pro Shop last night, So we're going
to continue to follow the story from the first alert desk.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
We'll go back to the studio man to.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Let Meanwhile, let's check in with our correspondent, a roving
correspondent at large, Shirley Cue Liquor on the matter.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
You know, honey, it's not a damn thing on TV.
I have a channel I turn on. Is just either
white people in court, white people in the emergency room,
white people sitting on a couch. White people are all
sitting around discussing politics, white people ballet dancing and pledge
driving and evaluating the cost of furniture and things and.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Selling me this products I don't need. It is far,
far too many white people on TV. But the only
alternative is beet. There's just some good nasty rap videos. Yes,
lord up? How about everybody Loves Raymon? Mad About You?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Really?
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Though White People has only put two good things on TV.
Number one, obviously the price is right, and number two
of the afternoon stories and them is pretty good. I
study saw a character on that I relates to the young, pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
White children. I was concerned about their relationships. They need
to be concerned about poverty and justice. How your derry?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
How about the mighty University of Houston Cougars starting strong
last night? Earning coach Kelvin Sampson, his a hundred victory,
not of the season, full of his career. That's saying something.
I'm so proud of those Cougars. They have really, I
(15:12):
mean really created an institutional program there, the likes of what.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Georgetown used to have. Remember when Virginia was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
So good for a few years in the eighties when
they had Ralph Sampson.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
He doesn't want to pay sixty two percent of taxes
because he doesn't want to go from being fifty cent
to twenty cents. And I had to remind him that
he was a black person, so he can't vote for
Donald Trump.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
A bigbon named bunking rug but normal and my drucolors,
they are obvious.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Made a full album Deceive Bush. Now his tee beet
fits on Bush. I don't know what to do, but
I still got a nose.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Tick Cheney.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
I have posceson.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I was his charge with m rob Di. Now, I
use we all know that Trump is a liar and
a thief.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
We don't think that Biden is a liar and a thief, so.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
We give him the benefit of the doubt. That's probably
what's going on.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
Pret's are around the safety arms with lips ABOUTY.
Speaker 11 (16:44):
Ten thousand drones with the thing. Dude, we are for
just like Tick Cheney. Kamala Harris is our queen. We
got the message.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We are loyal.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
On my side. The bogracis Alive was Chargement time god
No Foundation was founded gust Todd Poor Foundation.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Ches served as the forty six Vice President of the
United States from two thousand and one to two thousand
nine under George W. Bush, often described as the most
powerful vice president of the American history. Chinese influence shaped
many of the administration's major domestic and foreign policies, almost
all of them horrible. Before being Vice president, he was
(17:53):
White House Chief of Staff under Gerald Ford was a
congressman from Wyoming's congressional district they only have one. From
seventy nine to eighty nine, he was House Minority Whip.
He was a seventeenth Secretary of Defense under George H. W.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Bush. As Defense Secretary, he oversaw major military.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Operations, including Operation Just Cause in Panama in eighty nine,
Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War in ninety one,
and in between. He cashed in by working in the
private sector as chairman of CEO of Halliburton from ninety
five to two thousand it's a great gig if you
can get it. You do government, then you do private sector.
Then you do more government than you do private sector.
(18:33):
Pays well. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, raised in Lincoln and Casper, Wyoming,
attended Yale University. Got a bachelor's and master's degree in
political science from the University of Wyoming. Began as an
intern for Congressman William Steiger, later leading to key roles,
of course, in the Nixon and Ford administrations. In two thousand,
(18:53):
he was chosen as George W. Bush's running mate because
Bush was considered a lightweight and a guy who was
not perceived to be an administrator, which that was the
impression we were given of Cheney. He's a firm hand
on the stern. The Bush Cheney ticket defeated Al Gore
and who was his running mate. He would later go independent,
(19:16):
leaving the Democrat Party Joe Lieberman and in two thousand
and four re elected over John Kerrey.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And do you remember who John Carey's running mate was.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Rush Lumbaugh famously called him the breck Girl because he
combed his hair all the time, and it turned out
he had a mistress named Riley who got pregnant, and
that was inconvenient as Vice President, Cheney played a central
role in shaping the administration's response to September eleventh attacks
and the War on Terror, which actually just turned on
to be teared out to be a forever war. Dan
(19:50):
Crenshaw loves forever wars. Then he was an advocate of
the two thousand and three invasion of Iraq because Iraq
was somehow behind this, but they weren't. Never thee mind.
We just lost a lot of Americans, young men. God
to support the troops right, even when they're being sent
into a place they have no business being. He would
(20:11):
leave office as one of the most unpopular figures in
modern American politics, with a approval rating of thirteen percent
thirteen percent, whereupon he would immediately begin criticizing the Republican
Party and especially Donald Trump, and then and then he
(20:33):
would go on to endorse Kamala Harris over Donald Trump
in last year's election. So, no, no, I'm not feeling
bad about Dick Cheney's death. This is not a great
man just because he held a position. In fact, quite
the opposite. He did a lot of harm to this country,
and if he had his way, he would have done
a lot more, just like FDR with Pearl Harbard. There's
(20:55):
been speculation that Dick Cheney knew before the hit on
nine to eleven that the attack was coming Jesse Ventura
on Pierce Morgan.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Do you genuinely believe Jesse Ventura, the president joege W.
Bush knew, not that thee was gonna happen?
Speaker 8 (21:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Why do you say?
Speaker 12 (21:12):
Though? No? What do you say?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
But I believe Dick Cheney knew it? Really?
Speaker 12 (21:16):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You believe he knew it was going to happen.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I believe they had a good Well why did John
Ashcroft quit flying commercial planes that summer and switch only
to private planes?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Honest? You think Dick Cheney knew it was going to happen?
Do you really believe?
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's not irrational, hual excuse me?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Do you really believe that evil people can't be in
charge of governments?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
If you do, go talk to the Germans.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Jesse venture is a complicated figure because some of what
he said and did was absolute idiocy, just stupid showmanship, braggadocious, exaggerating, lying.
I don't think he knew where truth began. But part
of what jesse Ventura did was very valuable when a
(22:08):
person is willing to push past whether you're going to
think less of them for holding an un conventional position,
then they're going to lose a great deal of credibility,
but they're going to gain a perspective, and that is
the ability to spot things that other people perhaps wouldn't
be able to see. And who can forget how proud
(22:30):
Dick Cheney was the man who endorsed Kamala Harris of
his daughter Liz for allowing herself to be the leader
of the We're going to take down Donald Trump crew
in the sham January sixth committee which she was in
charge of. You it's bib partisan. She's a Republican. He
even did this campaign add for her before she lost.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
And our nation is two hundred and forty six year history.
There has never been an individual who is a greater
threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to
steal the last election using lies and to keep himself
in power after the voters had rejected him. He's a coward.
A real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. He lost
his election, and he lost big.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I know it.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
He knows it, and deep down I think most Republicans
know it. Lynn and I are so proud of Liz
for standing up for the truth, doing what's right, honoring
her oath to the Constitution.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Let's check in on Timmy Waltz because we know he
loves Dick.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Hello everyone, and welcome to this week's podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
As you can tell, we don't have our normal upbeat
Sunnyside Egg with a touch of rainbow open music with
the Timmy Walls Singers this morning.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Instead, I had to have my assistant Bruce roll in
his organ because it's a sad day.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Ladies and gentlemen. We can barely say it. Huh, Dick
is dead. Dick is dead.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Hello, look bad.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know I just love Dick and it's hard to
imagine there is no more Dick. Give me too many
tears for a Tuesday, I tell you, we of course
love the entire Chaney family.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Liz is absolutely one of our faves.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You remember she decided to back for the other team
when she back Kamala in last year's election.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh what a sweetie. So, ladies and gentlemen, please rise
and respect Dick, who once stood very tall, can now rest.
The Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
All right.

Well, I want to need to call anybody of mine
who abused the hell out of these at one point? Levon,

In addition, how does somebody buy an iPhone if they're

go to work the next day, or you know you've
been away, you go back to a crowd of people,
you haven't seen her in a while, and you've lost
(25:54):
a lot of weight. People will come up and I say,
oh my god, look right, what did you do? Whereupon
you tell them whatever you did and short of surgery,
you made a behavioral change. And they're real interesting because
they too want to lose a lot of weight and
(26:15):
look great.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Like you do.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
What you do? What you do.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So as you start, look it's not it's not rocket
science here, it's pretty simple fundamentals. Here's what I did,
and whatever it is that you've done, they will then
quibble with that. So I've seen people that go on
the all meat paleo, the paleo die, and I've seen
this conversation play out one hundred times. I've never done paleo,
(26:40):
no interest in it, but I've seen it go like
as well, it's crazy. I mean, it's it's what's not
not that much to it. It's called paleo. Okay, okay,
I've heard about that.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I heard about that. What exactly do you do?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
So I I just I just eat meat, I bacon ay,
or I just eat meat and I don't eat you know,
I don't even eat cars.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Can you eat steak? Yeah, yeah, you can eat steak.
Can eat bacon? Yeah you actually you can eat bacon.
Can you all? Can you eat ice cream?
Speaker 12 (27:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
No, you you can't eat ice cream. So some payloads
is just meat just me? Uh, you can he hamburger
or you can eat the patty not the bud. How
about roast bee sandwich? No, Yo're gonna hear me some
no carbs, just to meat. That's that's probably not good,
probably good for your kidneys and stuff. Well, you're not
(27:34):
doing it for the rest of your life. And you're
three hundred and eighteen pounds and all you talk about.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is you need to lose way.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah that is I mean, that doesn't sound good. That
doesn't sound good. You know, its pbably not good for
your kidneys. You know what's not good for you being
three hundred eighteen pounds. That's really that's what's not good
for you right now. But yeah, you worry about you
worry about that. That person is not very smart and
they're not very rash and the only way they're ever
(28:02):
going to lose weight is that they're honest with themselves,
which they're never gonna do, and you want to from
the outside say, hey, look, fat ass, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You need to delay gratification. You need to learn some discipline.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
You need to learn how great it feels to be
in control of what goes into your body and in
control of how you look and how you feel. It's
not that you're in a whirlwind and you can't get
out of it. You're choosing the whirlwind. So when somebody
(28:36):
walks in to apply for SNAP, we would save a
lot of money by putting an investigator on. All right,
I noticed you have an iPhone? No but book, you
had the money for an iPhone. You have the money
for but my children. I'm so tired of hearing that
who made those children? You know, if somebody's in.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
A situation.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Where they're knocked off their feet by a terrible, terrible tragedy,
which is probably point one percent of these cases, so
people will use this as the well, we just have
to assume everybody's in that situation and let them abuse it.
Do you know how much hair costs? Extensions?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I do, trust me, I do.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I didn't, but I do now, and it's expensive. Eyelashes, nails.
A sister girl is not going to have bad nails,
and that is expensive. Paws and claws, that is expensive, perfumes, makeup.
You can afford all of this. You can afford food.
(29:49):
We keep seeing these poles. How many people need food?
First of all, are they even working? I have no
excuse for for an American citizen who is not working
claiming they're poor, and there's all the excuses in the
world as to why they're not working. People will email me, hey,
(30:13):
I'm out of work. Can you find me a job? Well,
first of all, have you applied for any jobs? I'm
sixty two. Nobody wants to hire me.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
How do you know.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Nobody wants to hire old people anymore? Again, how do
you know there are plenty of people that would be
happy to hire you. Is it going to be easy?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, it's not going to be easy. Nothing is.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
When you reward people for taking the easy route, when
you always provide them a crutch, a fallback, no sink
or swim, then you don't get out of people their best.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It's just that simple.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And by the way, it's not resentment. It makes me
want to push people to go to work and not
get free stuff. It's sadness that they will never know
the joy of being able to provide for themselves. I
can remember making money from washing cars in the neighborhood,
and I'd have three dollars in my pocket and couldn't wait,
(31:19):
burning up the road on my bicycle to go buy
some down letters and doctor Pepprock because I was in control.
My mom couldn't tell me no, nobody could tell me no.
I had three dollars in my pocket, oh man. And
these people they don't have that experience, and we've allowed
it to be the case that that you know, in
other countries, if you're that poor and you don't work,
(31:41):
you know what happens.
It's that time time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Man, I got a messed up. I was looking for
a photo. It was a meme and I went and
somehow it popped up on my screen a photo of
cinnamon butter toast.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Mm hmmm. That did me.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I got me to thinking my grandmother. My mom would
drop me off at my grandmother's on the way into town,
and man, I look back. Now, my grandmother lived in
a little ramshackle trailer, but it was the happiest place
I've ever been in my life because she was such
(01:17):
a good cook.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I mean, could she ever cook? Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And I can remember going in. My mom would drop
me off and go in and she'd be She had
her consistent programs that she watched, and usually I'd get
over there about the time Prices Right was on.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Don I done?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You go in there, and she'd chuckle at Bob Barker.
Little did we know, O Bob oh, Bob was the
original me too movement. Bob was getting handsy with them girls.
Oh that was the Swiss Alps. I would do came
up with those games.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
She'd make me a toast, you know, I see people
do this and they're doing it wrong, and I don't.
I guess now is the time to discuss this. The
way it's supposed to be made, Ramon, is you start
with the bread. You do four pieces of bread on
the pan. The pan needs to be kind of bent.
It cannot be a flat pan. It needs to have
been bent over the years and dinged up, and it
(02:19):
needs to have like where batter has dried, but that
batter has turned into petrified rock. You need to have
your scratches, and then you know it's going to be good.
You put your bread on there, and then you take
a dollop of butter on the four corners and one
in the middle. Okay, i've seen people make smiley no, no,
(02:42):
none of that, none of that. So you got the
four corners rule and then the uh that's old law
school rule, Ramon. And then you got the dollop in
the middle. So you've got you've got your five prongs,
and then you come in with your.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Sentiment.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You hit the cinnamon on top of it, and then
you come in real light with the sugar.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And the beautiful thing if it's cooked right, is when
you go to bite into that that butter.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That spot where that.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Butter was that has just made it where it would
just tear apart. Oh man, And you got that combo
of the bread, the butter, the cinnamon, the sugar. I'd
rather eat that the misteak, I said, God's on a strewth.
I'd rather eat that than misteak. That's good.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I had the.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Honor of honors yesterday in the middle of the day. Context.
There's a woman named Tamisha. We call her Miss Tea,
And from the time my kids were real little, she
would babysit our kids when we would go, when we'd
have to travel, or when we'd go on date night
or whatever else. And Miss Tumisha, miss Tea, is a
(03:55):
preschool teacher at one of the schools here in town,
and she would bring her kids with her. Arianna and David,
and so David's always been David and Ariana have been
almost like our own kids. You'll remember I talked about
David when he was playing middle linebacker for Sterling, really
(04:16):
good middle linebacker. And I got a meeting with ed
ors run so a while I was there, I said, hey,
coach is a kid. He said, I'd really like to
come on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And talk.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Know that Houston market is big for us. Whenever you want,
I do have a kid I want to bring to
your attention. He's number twenty two Sterling High School middle linebacker,
and so he checked him out and he gave the
feedback through Gordy his their the voice of LSU who
runs the station in LSU, that he just wasn't big
(04:49):
enough and he wasn't big enough. So his senior year
in high school he starts into wanting to go into
the Marines. His dad died when he was young, raised
by a single Mom's amazing, and he got serious about
the Marines. He did the Marines four years, the first
Marine Corps graduation. If you ever get a chance to
see that Ramote, that's something to see. You go out
(05:12):
to San Diego and see that whole deal, and so
you know. Then he went to Japan, he went to Iraq, Afghanistan.
He's flying these shoulder mounted mortars.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't know what they are. And then he.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Got into the remote controlled drones.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
So four years he said, well, why am I go
ahead and do four more years? So we're coming up
on the end of his eight year Well, Yesterday was
the day of his promotion to E six, which is
a staff sergeant.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It only goes up to E nine for non commissioned officers,
so this is a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And he asked me to pin his.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Rank on his on his lapel me and his mom,
which you know me, I'm damn near about to cry
because it's very moving. So the ceremony was at Law Park,
which is down off mccawa. People like me aren't really
(06:18):
not a lot of people that look like me are
showing up off South Macawa unless you're going to unless
you got a traffic ticket at the JP there at
the little courts there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So there I am.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I pull up at Law Park and go in and
there's a basketball court with a like a pavilion, and
I'm thinking, huh, all right. So we get there and
I said, David, how come the Marines do their promotion
ceremony because everybody there is there for him, it's all
his fellow Marines and stuff. How come the Marines choose
this as their as their spot? He said, I chose this,
(06:52):
He said, I'll tell you, I'm gonna speak to it.
So when he goes to give a speech after they
after they pen him or just make a few remarks.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
He said, this is my home.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I grew up and I mean he grew up in
a ramshackle house. His mother barely kept food on it.
But she kept this family together. She worked, she did
whatever she needed to do. It's an amazing, amazing family.
And he said, this was where I played basketball, I
played football. Run over there, I played baseball right over there.
(07:21):
We rode our bikes through here, and this is home.
This is who I am. And everybody there was sort
of moved, because usually you have some fancy restaurant or
whatever else.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But that was a real honor.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I hear from people, and I can feel it in
the emotions of their email. You know, my son just
went to boot camp, my son just graduated from boot camp.
My daughter just got her promotion in the Navy.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And I read these every day.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And it's in the middle of people saying, hey, what
if we have a constitutional commission and we say Democrats
can't get elected anymore. I'm just thinking out loud, what
do you think? But you read something like that and
you're not in that moment, but I can always tell
that in that person's mind they know that what they're
gonna say is gonna fall short to me of the
(08:08):
emotion that they're feeling, because that's that's your baby.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And now they've all grown up and they're wearing our
country's uniform. It's something to be proud of. I'm incredibly
proud of this show man's staff. Sergeant David Burdon. Hello,
this is Nicki Gilldy and you're listening to this season
Radio Michael Berry. The masque pro Shop is becoming the
White people's Chuck E Cheese. Total ignorance, ignorance as a
(08:36):
wild brawl breaks out at the grand opening of a
mass Pro shop in Odessa, Texas, and of course it's
caught on sul phone video, which has now gone viral.
The story from News nine West in Midland, supposed to
be a.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Time to celebrate the first the best pro shops in
a Permia basin quickly turned into a messive brawl. We
don't know what started to fight, but locals say they're
disappointed this happened right here in their backyard. A brawl
at Bass Pro Shops brought punches, kicks and shouting. Matches
(09:14):
and shoppers left with more than a bargain for taking
bait and tackle a little too seriously on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Being in West Texas is not unexpected, but it's unfortunately
that it happened. It's a bad look with a new
business opening, but I hope it don't deter people from
showing up. You know, some things around here kind of common.
This is a common thing and it is what it.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Is, turning opening weekend into a viral moment for all
the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah. I actually didn't even hear about it initially. A
friend of mine in Oklahoma sent me in the link
to the video. That's how I initially found out about it.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Police responded to a disturbance Saturday afternoon after a man
became upset with another man while waiting in line for
the restroom. The argument escalated into a brawl and spilled
into the lobby, involving several people.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Witnesses say after.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Fighters were removed, they returned back to the store and
started fighting again. That's when Bass Pro Shops kicked off
the people who started to fight and officially banned them
from coming back. So far, no of us were made
and no charges were filed. We also reached out to
general manager Rob Pipkin, and he has no comment at
this time. However, the store is open for business.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
What is it about bass Pro shops that brings out
the crazy and people? I do love listening to that.
I do love listening to small town or watching small
town TV reports because they're not polished.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And so, so you.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Got the black woman in the all white Midland, and
so the one person was doing something and another person
was also doing something over here at the bass Pro shop.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Start the story again.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
At the very beginning, she's attempting to capture the collective
sadness of man, it's why we can't have nothing nice.
We've finally got a bass Pro shop and they had
a fight in it. Listen, listen to the sadness of this.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Holds to be a time to celebrate the first the
best pro shops in a Permian Bason quickly turned into
a message.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
She said, supposed to be We don't know what started today.
She say, supposed to be holds.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
To be a time to celebrate the first the basket
puposed to be a time to celebrate the first the
basket shop.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Celebrate, but we don't celebrate. This was it, man, This
was our moment in the sun. The whole nation was
watching Midland. It's getting a bass Pro shop. But no,
we can't have nothing nice. Y'all messed it up.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Dang it. We worked, you know they did. You know
they did the ribbon cutting.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
They had the mayor and all the commissioners and the
councilmen and the sheriff and everybody was out there. This
is a big day. They put on their best bowlo.
This is a big day. We got a bass Pro
shop in Odessa, Texas. The sky's a living We can
do anything. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What is it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
About bass pro shops that bring out the crazy and people?
A man in Alabama jumped in a fish tank neked,
exposing his fishing worm. The story from WBrC six News.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
All right, back here at the first Alart desk. I
want to tell you about that bass Pro shop story
that we mentioned earlier. Now, I do want to say this.
The story has shocking details, but it was a scary
situation for people in Leeds and the Leads police officer,
should they say. A man intentionally shruck a poll before
taking off his clothes in the Bass Pro shop parking lot,
then running into the store and jumping into that aquarium
that fish tank. Now I want to show you video
(12:31):
of Bass Pro Shop. This is final video that we've
had in house a WBrC. But I just spoke to
Leads Police Chief Paul Irwin. Now that those are the
details he gave me. Leads Police to take him in
the custody. They actually took him to the hospital too.
But while this person was in the back of that
police vehicle, he damaged the back door to Now Chief
Erwin does say the man is suffering from mental illnesses,
(12:51):
and he says this is a dangerous thing for police
officers to deal with, and they're dealing with people who
have mental illnesses and are acting like that. I just
texted him. I'm going to read from text message that
charge that he faces. So he faces charges for this
early conduct, resisting arrest, assault on police, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment,
two counts of that. So this is something we're con
to do to follow this morning. But again, just this
(13:11):
shocking scenario. We've had video from viewers who were there
at the Beast Pro Shop last night, So we're going
to continue to follow the story from the first alert desk.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
We'll go back to the studio man to.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Let Meanwhile, let's check in with our correspondent, a roving
correspondent at large, Shirley Cue Liquor on the matter.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
You know, honey, it's not a damn thing on TV.
I have a channel I turn on. Is just either
white people in court, white people in the emergency room,
white people sitting on a couch. White people are all
sitting around discussing politics, white people ballet dancing and pledge
driving and evaluating the cost of furniture and things and.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Selling me this products I don't need. It is far,
far too many white people on TV. But the only
alternative is beet. There's just some good nasty rap videos. Yes,
lord up? How about everybody Loves Raymon? Mad About You?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Really?
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Though White People has only put two good things on TV.
Number one, obviously the price is right, and number two
of the afternoon stories and them is pretty good. I
study saw a character on that I relates to the young, pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
White children. I was concerned about their relationships. They need
to be concerned about poverty and justice. How your derry?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
How about the mighty University of Houston Cougars starting strong
last night? Earning coach Kelvin Sampson, his a hundred victory,
not of the season, full of his career. That's saying something.
I'm so proud of those Cougars. They have really, I
(15:12):
mean really created an institutional program there, the likes of what.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Georgetown used to have. Remember when Virginia was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
So good for a few years in the eighties when
they had Ralph Sampson.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
He doesn't want to pay sixty two percent of taxes
because he doesn't want to go from being fifty cent
to twenty cents. And I had to remind him that
he was a black person, so he can't vote for
Donald Trump.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
A bigbon named bunking rug but normal and my drucolors,
they are obvious.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Made a full album Deceive Bush. Now his tee beet
fits on Bush. I don't know what to do, but
I still got a nose.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Tick Cheney.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
I have posceson.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I was his charge with m rob Di. Now, I
use we all know that Trump is a liar and
a thief.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
We don't think that Biden is a liar and a thief, so.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
We give him the benefit of the doubt. That's probably
what's going on.
Speaker 10 (16:38):
Pret's are around the safety arms with lips ABOUTY.
Speaker 11 (16:44):
Ten thousand drones with the thing. Dude, we are for
just like Tick Cheney. Kamala Harris is our queen. We
got the message.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We are loyal.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
On my side. The bogracis Alive was Chargement time god
No Foundation was founded gust Todd Poor Foundation.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Ches served as the forty six Vice President of the
United States from two thousand and one to two thousand
nine under George W. Bush, often described as the most
powerful vice president of the American history. Chinese influence shaped
many of the administration's major domestic and foreign policies, almost
all of them horrible. Before being Vice president, he was
(17:53):
White House Chief of Staff under Gerald Ford was a
congressman from Wyoming's congressional district they only have one. From
seventy nine to eighty nine, he was House Minority Whip.
He was a seventeenth Secretary of Defense under George H. W.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Bush. As Defense Secretary, he oversaw major military.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Operations, including Operation Just Cause in Panama in eighty nine,
Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War in ninety one,
and in between. He cashed in by working in the
private sector as chairman of CEO of Halliburton from ninety
five to two thousand it's a great gig if you
can get it. You do government, then you do private sector.
Then you do more government than you do private sector.
(18:33):
Pays well. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, raised in Lincoln and Casper, Wyoming,
attended Yale University. Got a bachelor's and master's degree in
political science from the University of Wyoming. Began as an
intern for Congressman William Steiger, later leading to key roles,
of course, in the Nixon and Ford administrations. In two thousand,
(18:53):
he was chosen as George W. Bush's running mate because
Bush was considered a lightweight and a guy who was
not perceived to be an administrator, which that was the
impression we were given of Cheney. He's a firm hand
on the stern. The Bush Cheney ticket defeated Al Gore
and who was his running mate. He would later go independent,
(19:16):
leaving the Democrat Party Joe Lieberman and in two thousand
and four re elected over John Kerrey.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And do you remember who John Carey's running mate was.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Rush Lumbaugh famously called him the breck Girl because he
combed his hair all the time, and it turned out
he had a mistress named Riley who got pregnant, and
that was inconvenient as Vice President, Cheney played a central
role in shaping the administration's response to September eleventh attacks
and the War on Terror, which actually just turned on
to be teared out to be a forever war. Dan
(19:50):
Crenshaw loves forever wars. Then he was an advocate of
the two thousand and three invasion of Iraq because Iraq
was somehow behind this, but they weren't. Never thee mind.
We just lost a lot of Americans, young men. God
to support the troops right, even when they're being sent
into a place they have no business being. He would
(20:11):
leave office as one of the most unpopular figures in
modern American politics, with a approval rating of thirteen percent
thirteen percent, whereupon he would immediately begin criticizing the Republican
Party and especially Donald Trump, and then and then he
(20:33):
would go on to endorse Kamala Harris over Donald Trump
in last year's election. So, no, no, I'm not feeling
bad about Dick Cheney's death. This is not a great
man just because he held a position. In fact, quite
the opposite. He did a lot of harm to this country,
and if he had his way, he would have done
a lot more, just like FDR with Pearl Harbard. There's
(20:55):
been speculation that Dick Cheney knew before the hit on
nine to eleven that the attack was coming Jesse Ventura
on Pierce Morgan.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Do you genuinely believe Jesse Ventura, the president joege W.
Bush knew, not that thee was gonna happen?
Speaker 8 (21:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Why do you say?
Speaker 12 (21:12):
Though? No? What do you say?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
But I believe Dick Cheney knew it? Really?
Speaker 12 (21:16):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You believe he knew it was going to happen.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I believe they had a good Well why did John
Ashcroft quit flying commercial planes that summer and switch only
to private planes?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Honest? You think Dick Cheney knew it was going to happen?
Do you really believe?
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's not irrational, hual excuse me?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Do you really believe that evil people can't be in
charge of governments?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
If you do, go talk to the Germans.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Jesse venture is a complicated figure because some of what
he said and did was absolute idiocy, just stupid showmanship, braggadocious, exaggerating, lying.
I don't think he knew where truth began. But part
of what jesse Ventura did was very valuable when a
(22:08):
person is willing to push past whether you're going to
think less of them for holding an un conventional position,
then they're going to lose a great deal of credibility,
but they're going to gain a perspective, and that is
the ability to spot things that other people perhaps wouldn't
be able to see. And who can forget how proud
(22:30):
Dick Cheney was the man who endorsed Kamala Harris of
his daughter Liz for allowing herself to be the leader
of the We're going to take down Donald Trump crew
in the sham January sixth committee which she was in
charge of. You it's bib partisan. She's a Republican. He
even did this campaign add for her before she lost.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
And our nation is two hundred and forty six year history.
There has never been an individual who is a greater
threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to
steal the last election using lies and to keep himself
in power after the voters had rejected him. He's a coward.
A real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. He lost
his election, and he lost big.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I know it.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
He knows it, and deep down I think most Republicans
know it. Lynn and I are so proud of Liz
for standing up for the truth, doing what's right, honoring
her oath to the Constitution.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Let's check in on Timmy Waltz because we know he
loves Dick.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Hello everyone, and welcome to this week's podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
As you can tell, we don't have our normal upbeat
Sunnyside Egg with a touch of rainbow open music with
the Timmy Walls Singers this morning.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Instead, I had to have my assistant Bruce roll in
his organ because it's a sad day.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Ladies and gentlemen. We can barely say it. Huh, Dick
is dead. Dick is dead.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Hello, look bad.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know I just love Dick and it's hard to
imagine there is no more Dick. Give me too many
tears for a Tuesday, I tell you, we of course
love the entire Chaney family.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Liz is absolutely one of our faves.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You remember she decided to back for the other team
when she back Kamala in last year's election.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh what a sweetie. So, ladies and gentlemen, please rise
and respect Dick, who once stood very tall, can now rest.
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Well with the Shumer shutdown and snap money running dry.
There's a popular new item being sold at pawn shops
all across the country.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
This week, Gotten pawn Stars Government shutdown edition. Hey man,
welcome in.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
What do you got for me? Hey yeah, I'd like
to sell you these. Let's see what we have here?
Are these food stamps? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, I'd like to get top dollar for those with
that snap money running dry and all. This ought to
be worth something. Well, it's definitely worth something. It's worth food.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
All right.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Well, I want to need to call anybody of mine
who abused the hell out of these at one point? Levon,
can you come in here and take a look at these.
Let me see what we have here?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Oh yeah, you don't hit the jackpots on these right here?
These are Schumer's shutdown stamps. What the fortune?
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I told you man. All right, let's get you some cash. Actually,
I'd like to trade it in for that xbox. You
want to trade in your food stamps for an xbox?
What a country? This was Pondstar's governments shut down.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
In addition, how does somebody buy an iPhone if they're
on food stamps? You know, when you lose weight, you
go to work the next day, or you know you've
been away, you go back to a crowd of people,
you haven't seen her in a while, and you've lost
(25:54):
a lot of weight. People will come up and I say,
oh my god, look right, what did you do? Whereupon
you tell them whatever you did and short of surgery,
you made a behavioral change. And they're real interesting because
they too want to lose a lot of weight and
(26:15):
look great.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Like you do.
Speaker 12 (26:17):
What you do? What you do.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So as you start, look it's not it's not rocket
science here, it's pretty simple fundamentals. Here's what I did,
and whatever it is that you've done, they will then
quibble with that. So I've seen people that go on
the all meat paleo, the paleo die, and I've seen
this conversation play out one hundred times. I've never done paleo,
(26:40):
no interest in it, but I've seen it go like
as well, it's crazy. I mean, it's it's what's not
not that much to it. It's called paleo. Okay, okay,
I've heard about that.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I heard about that. What exactly do you do?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
So I I just I just eat meat, I bacon ay,
or I just eat meat and I don't eat you know,
I don't even eat cars.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Can you eat steak? Yeah, yeah, you can eat steak.
Can eat bacon? Yeah you actually you can eat bacon.
Can you all? Can you eat ice cream?
Speaker 12 (27:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
No, you you can't eat ice cream. So some payloads
is just meat just me? Uh, you can he hamburger
or you can eat the patty not the bud. How
about roast bee sandwich? No, Yo're gonna hear me some
no carbs, just to meat. That's that's probably not good,
probably good for your kidneys and stuff. Well, you're not
(27:34):
doing it for the rest of your life. And you're
three hundred and eighteen pounds and all you talk about.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is you need to lose way.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah that is I mean, that doesn't sound good. That
doesn't sound good. You know, its pbably not good for
your kidneys. You know what's not good for you being
three hundred eighteen pounds. That's really that's what's not good
for you right now. But yeah, you worry about you
worry about that. That person is not very smart and
they're not very rash and the only way they're ever
(28:02):
going to lose weight is that they're honest with themselves,
which they're never gonna do, and you want to from
the outside say, hey, look, fat ass, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
You need to delay gratification. You need to learn some discipline.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
You need to learn how great it feels to be
in control of what goes into your body and in
control of how you look and how you feel. It's
not that you're in a whirlwind and you can't get
out of it. You're choosing the whirlwind. So when somebody
(28:36):
walks in to apply for SNAP, we would save a
lot of money by putting an investigator on. All right,
I noticed you have an iPhone? No but book, you
had the money for an iPhone. You have the money
for but my children. I'm so tired of hearing that
who made those children? You know, if somebody's in.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
A situation.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Where they're knocked off their feet by a terrible, terrible tragedy,
which is probably point one percent of these cases, so
people will use this as the well, we just have
to assume everybody's in that situation and let them abuse it.
Do you know how much hair costs? Extensions?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I do, trust me, I do.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I didn't, but I do now, and it's expensive. Eyelashes, nails.
A sister girl is not going to have bad nails,
and that is expensive. Paws and claws, that is expensive, perfumes, makeup.
You can afford all of this. You can afford food.
(29:49):
We keep seeing these poles. How many people need food?
First of all, are they even working? I have no
excuse for for an American citizen who is not working
claiming they're poor, and there's all the excuses in the
world as to why they're not working. People will email me, hey,
(30:13):
I'm out of work. Can you find me a job? Well,
first of all, have you applied for any jobs? I'm
sixty two. Nobody wants to hire me.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
How do you know.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Nobody wants to hire old people anymore? Again, how do
you know there are plenty of people that would be
happy to hire you. Is it going to be easy?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, it's not going to be easy. Nothing is.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
When you reward people for taking the easy route, when
you always provide them a crutch, a fallback, no sink
or swim, then you don't get out of people their best.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
It's just that simple.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And by the way, it's not resentment. It makes me
want to push people to go to work and not
get free stuff. It's sadness that they will never know
the joy of being able to provide for themselves. I
can remember making money from washing cars in the neighborhood,
and I'd have three dollars in my pocket and couldn't wait,
(31:19):
burning up the road on my bicycle to go buy
some down letters and doctor Pepprock because I was in control.
My mom couldn't tell me no, nobody could tell me no.
I had three dollars in my pocket, oh man. And
these people they don't have that experience, and we've allowed
it to be the case that that you know, in
other countries, if you're that poor and you don't work,
(31:41):
you know what happens.
