The Michael Very.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Show is on the air.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
It is really on my heart this morning to say
that as a man, but more importantly as a black man,
that this country does not deserve black women, all black people,
but specifically black women.

Speaker 10 (01:12):
Because these people, they are crazy, because they always talking
about how Christian they is. Yeah, I don't know how
many of them on that side. I'm getting divorced because
they getting caught up sleeping with their coworkers, staffers.
Speaker 8 (01:23):
In turns all the things.
Speaker 10 (01:25):
Yeah, you ain't gotta believe me. Just go Google. You'll
find some of it, I'm telling you. And the wives
is being messy and petty. They putting it into divorce.
I'm like, whoa, that's gotta be true because your lawyer

Speaker 9 (01:42):
You know that's no lie Fama Lam. She's no rock
to Pama lam dams bam Malama who bad malam w
Bama Lam.
Speaker 12 (01:53):
There's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears,
particularly male white tears, really white tears in general, because
that's what Karens are right. They care now and then
as soon as it get cause green waterworks, white men
can get away with that too, and it has the
(02:13):
same effect.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
And so we're all walking on fan ice or no
ice at all.
Speaker 10 (02:19):
Thirty one percent of Black children live in poverty, compared to.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Eleven percent of white children.
Speaker 10 (02:24):
The natural average is eighteen percent, which suggests the percentage
of black children living in poverty is more than one
hundred and fifty percent.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
My hope is that we would do it differently, you know,
in the moments when we have some power, we will
not do it perfectly. But I do think that all
of us can sort of agree that a politics that
says like there are superior in fear human beings just
in the way to go. And that's the thing that
white people don't trust us to do because they are
(02:52):
so corrupt, you know, their thinking is so morally and
spiritually bankrupt about power that they can't let, you know,
they fear viscerally existentially letting go of power because they
cannot imagine that there's another way to be. It is
either that you dominate or you are dominated. And isn't
it sad that that is spiritually who they are and
(03:15):
that they can't imagine a sort of more expansive.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Notion of the world.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I've held at AR fifteen in my anna, which I added.
Speaker 12 (03:22):
It is as heavy as ten box two that you
might be moving, and the bullet.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That is utilized a fifty caroliber. These kinds of bullets
need to be licensed and do not need to be
on the streets.
Speaker 8 (03:35):
We are going to the border. We've been to the border.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
We've been to the border, we've been to the border.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You haven't been to the border, and I haven't been
to Europe.
Speaker 9 (03:47):
I will go and take Trump out ton b Bene
Pama lamb oh black Bennett pamla lammy hand way down.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
On the subject of sandwiches, I eat a.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Lot of sandwiches. Who doesn't, Man, sandwiches are easy to eat,
But I hate sandwiches at New York Deli's too much
meat on the sandwich. It's like a cow with a
cracker on either side. What would you like, sir, A
postromi sandwich? Anything else? Yeah, a loaf of bread and
some other people? What kind of bread rye? Oh, banana?
You got banana bread? What kind of cheese cottage? Get
(04:25):
that out. I'm not making a banana bread pastrami cotton
cheese sandwich. That was severely room my reputation. I ordered
the Club sandwich all the time, and I'm not even
a member. Man, I don't know how I get away
with it. I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread,
So do I? Well, let's form a club there, okay,
(04:51):
but we need some more stipulations, Yes we do. Instead
of cotton sandwich wants, let's cut it again yes, four triangles,
and we will position them into a circles, and in
the middle we will dump chips or potato salad. Okay,
let me ask you a question. How do you feel
about freely toothpicks? I'm formed, Well, this club is formed,
(05:16):
spread the word on many's nationwide. All my sound is
with l felphas sprouse.
Speaker 13 (05:22):
Well, you know, I don't know that any dude got
high and wrote down what he thought in a way
that was funnier than Mitch Heedbird.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Bobby writes, we need more songs with bama lamb in them,
And I thought, what is bamalamb?
Speaker 11 (05:40):
A real word?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I just didn't know it as possible. Bam malam
is a word most notably known from the ram Jam
song Black Betty, and is theorized to represent the sound
of a musket firing or a whip cracking, with the
term gaining initial additional notoriety as a slang term or
(06:01):
reference to various tools and objects associated with the concept
of a sharp, sudden sound. There's also a separate, unrelated
term ballum, referring to a spirit in Man religion. I
don't think that's what really what they're talking about, So
(06:22):
RJ said on the Black Line, Tzara. When I was younger,
my mom used to clean homes, and one day I
went with her to Miss Lacey's house. My mother always said,
don't ask for anything, don't say anything, don't touch anything.
Miss Lacey asked me if I was hungry once, and
against my mother's wishes, I said yes. Miss Lacy then
made me a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich on rye,
(06:45):
and my mother made me eat every bite. To this day,
I hate cucumbers, I hate cream cheese, I hate rye
bread and women named Lacey, oh our own Daryl coup
To the Man without a Title wrote to the group,
if I'm ever Mark sanchezt drunk, I'm not gonna be
(07:07):
doing wind sprints and beating up an old man. I'm
gonna be crushing a double meat cheeseburger. This is where
we part ways for the show and cross the proverbial rubicon.
Don't drag it out as people often tend to do.
But if you ever got drunk and did something so
stupid that to look back at it, you cannot imagine
(07:31):
a human being doing that. Now is your time? Seven
one three, nine, nine one thousand. If you ever got
drunk did something so stupid that the next morning you
woke up in jail or hell and decided I'm never
drinking again. That is the end of it for me. Now,
I know there are a few of you who will
(07:52):
be upset. You don't need to email me. We're not
encouraging people to do stupid things.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
This is not your opportunity to play I'm a bear.
Just calm down. Maybe this ain't your segment, but for
those of you it'll be mostly men, but there'll be
some women who you got drunk and did something that
you can't imagine having done. Mister you just it was
your Mark Sanchez moment. You cannot imagine looking back that
you did it. But now it's kind of funny. Seven

Speaker 1 (11:08):
After Mark Sanchez is no good, very bad night the
other day when he was stabbed multiple times and has
now been arrested and will be charged for a very
serious crime. The man that stabbed him is terribly terribly
injured with a gash across his face. They have filed
a civil lawsuit as well. This is not going to
(11:32):
be a fun coming year for Mark Sanchez. Now, I
don't know if sports reporters are stupid, or if they
just love clickbait. But for all the stories you keep
saying he could get six years in prison for this,
Nobody gets the maximum punishable sentence in their first ever charge,
(11:57):
certainly not when they're under the extreme influence. He's not
going to get six years, and we all know it.
He might get one day and two years probation, whether
that's good or bad. Stop saying he's going to get
six years. They're all now creating this situation that he's
going to prison for six years. He's not going to
prison for six years. But he is going to regret
(12:20):
that night. There's no doubt about that. And so we
want you to quickly don't get caught up in too
many details. We want you to quickly get to your
story of great regret. Nicole. We go to you first
because we didn't expect women to call anywhere impressed.
Speaker 14 (12:32):
Go well, I thought i'd give you a good laugh
for the morning. So I was out in my twenties
with my cousin and her boyfriend going to bars. We
were in between going from one to another and I
had to use the restroom. So I was going to
pop a squad and an alley. She had a cover
(12:54):
spray necklace she gave me because where we were was
kind of a high crime rate. I'm not a very
good area. So I was using the restroom in the
middle of an alley, have the pepper spray, put it
in my mouth, had a little bit on my tongue,
immediately pulled it away and sprayed myself. So I'm screaming,
(13:16):
rolling around on the ground, and here comes my cousin
and her boyfriend seeing me with all my glory. So
it had taught me be careful where you use the
restroom and always look for your triggers, even on pepper spray.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know what's crazy about that, when you drink enough,
you always have to pee, right the drinking causes you
to have to pee, and then you find yourself in
a situation where it's happening fast. Maybe you didn't notice
it early enough, and your judgment as to what you
(13:57):
should do is severely impair. There are all sorts of
websites now in Twitter feeds, and I guess TikTok has
them as well, of people who found themselves in a
bad situation. And you'll see it. You can tell it.
You you see the look on their face. It's like
a little kid when they got to pee and they'll
grab that area. You're like, oh, he's got to go,
(14:17):
and he's gotta go now, Cliff, you're up, go ahead? O. Sorry, Cliff, Yeah,
this might be my fault though. Cliff, you're there, all right,
Let's go to the next one. Elliott, you're up, go ahead.
Speaker 14 (14:37):
Hey, Michael H.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Me and my Nate, one of my marine friends, and
me and my other friend were in the Navy and
we went downtown and got blacked out. They told me
I blacked out drunk. But they said, man, you were
slapping women around and then you took your shirt off
in the club. They like, they got back to my place,
so like I was like, man, the girls like, yeah,
(15:02):
you you went crazy. It's like, who are you? I
don't remember bringing you back here last night.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I thought there was gonna be a punchline. There wasn't
a punchline to that joke. Ramon, should I be concerned
that there's not a punchline to that joke? But yo? Yeah, yeah,
that one. That one missed out on the funny part.
So we were with my friend and he was drunk
(15:36):
and he started punching girls and just knocking him, just
punching the hell out of him. Yep, wait, where is
the funny part. I'm missing out on the funny part
there was. There's supposed to be something that when we
look back, we go, I can't believe that that was
the dumbest thing ever. But uh, he was just punching
(15:59):
women real hard. A lot is not quite as good.
You know, Mark Sanchez has a young child, like a
few months old, and I think he has two kids total.
The other one's pretty young. That was, uh, you know,
you got to figure his wife's not going to leave him,
(16:20):
because at least there wasn't another woman involved that we
know of. But you're pretty darn drunk if you're, you know,
at midnight running wind sprints in the in the in
the alleyway. I eventually we're going to find out who
he was running wind sprints for, or maybe he was
(16:42):
challenging somebody to running with. I don't know, but well,
this comes a point at the end of this that
you go, oh, man, that was a really, really dumb
thing to do. And so I've just put that on
a Michael Barriss so Michael Berry show.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
There's a video.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's on it's some Saturday night Live or I don't
know what it is, doesn't matter. Shane Gillis is a
firefighter in the video and a reporter comes up to
him and he says, sir, is it true you just
fought a fire for three hours and saved that family
And he says, yes, yes, I did. And he's talking
(17:27):
about what a hero this white firefighter is, and then
twenty seconds into the interview he says, oh, my goodness,
we're getting I'm getting news, breaking news that you are
a white supremacist. Is this a picture of you in
a maga hat? And he says yeah, yeah, And more
breaking news. Is this a picture of you drinking a
(17:50):
beer saying you love Donald Trump? Well, yeah, but we're
talking about the fire. I just saved his family. Oh
my god, he's a white supremacist. How do you respond, folks,
if you're just endpans a white supremacistm And they go
through this whole thing, and by the end of it,
he has you know, that the family has thanked him
for saving them. But then they're told that he's a
(18:11):
white supremacist, so they want nothing to do with him.
And what's interesting is It's only funny because we see
versions of that all day, every day, all day every day.
You know, it's such a fascinating concept that it took
a long time to figure out. How do you get
(18:33):
white people to be ashamed of who they are then
to accuse them of claiming to be better than everyone else.
White people are so afraid of being accused of thinking
they're better than anyone else that it's important to them
(18:56):
to repeatedly, unabashedly, embarrassingly tell you how much less they
are than other people. And because that has been dinned
into people's heads, you see the white liberals, you see
the weak people in this desperate attempt to subjucate themselves
(19:19):
or supplicate themselves. They were awful. Ask Chad, what's the
name of that woman? It was running for president in
twenty Marian Chattel know it? Uh, you know, don't Maryann Shoot,
(19:42):
I can't remember her name, but anyway, Marian Williamson, is
that her name? She had a campaign Marion Williamson. Yeah,
she had a campaign rally where every white person in
the was in a big church, was to go over
to a black or brown person, put your hand on
them and explain to them that you're sorry and ashamed
(20:03):
that you're white. I'm not sorry, I'm might. I'm not ashamed.
Speaker 13 (20:08):
I might.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh you have it? How'd you find that? Oh? Yeah?
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
As I speak, I'm going to ask the white Americans
in the room to please repeat after me, on behalf
of myself and on behalf of my country to you
(20:38):
and all African Americans, from the beginning of our nation's history,
in honor of your ancestors, and on behalf of your children.
Please hear this from my heart. I apologize, Please forgive us.
(21:09):
With this prayer, I acknowledge the depth of the evils
that have been perpetrated against black people in America, from
slavery to lynchings, to white supremacist laws, to the denial
(21:35):
of voting rights, to all the ways, both large and small,
all of them evil, all of them wrong, for all
the oppression, and all of the injustices. I apologize, Please
(21:59):
forgive us.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So I suppose some people's natural inclination would be, well,
there was slavery. Why are we still talking about this?
What exactly are we doing? So we're constantly grading white
people every day, the assumption being they're not very good
(22:33):
and white people are only too eager to join in
on this. God forbid you be proud of anything you are,
because that makes you a Confederate, that makes you a supremacist.
And we're supposed to believe that black people are afraid
of white people. Today, white people are abusive and awful,
(22:55):
and there's not a black person in America scared of
white people. I'll just tell you that right now, nowhere
is that happening. It is not happening. There are plenty
of white people who live in black neighborhoods who are
scared for their lives all day, every day. And there
are plenty of black people living in white neighborhoods who
(23:16):
do not fear for one second because it simply doesn't happen.
There is outright abuse by some blacks. Not all blacks
are black supremacists, but many are. There's almost not a
white supremacist alive in America today, and most Americans are
(23:39):
so ashamed of being white that they will make themselves
into being black to avoid that shame. Rachel Dolah's awe
sean white. We could go on, look at Elizabeth Warren
who claim to be something other than white. That's crap,
(24:01):
this whole white supremacist there's nobody in America even proud
of being white. The entire country is this pitiful, pathetic, sad, whiny,
self hating, self loathing, ashamed group of people so afraid
that someone will say, wait a second. You're married to
(24:25):
a woman, and y'all have children, and you own a
home and two vehicles, and you have a job. That's
white privilege. The fact of the matter is everybody has
an equal opportunity in this country. And the fact of
the matter is a lot, not all, a lot of
blacks squander it. And the fact is a lot of
(24:47):
black elected officials are common criminals, thugs. Sylvester Turner, I
could sit here for three hours and tell you Sylvester
Turner stories, Sheila Jackson five hours. Some of them are documented.
Rodney Ellis all day long. We just keep standing by
(25:10):
and going, well, y'all, just do whatever you want. Just
please don't call us a bad name. People get away
literally with murder because they're black and all. It's all
this big vicious cycle. White people are bad and black
people are good. Well, my goodness alive. It sure doesn't
look like that. On the news, the Michael Berry show,
(25:38):
another body has been found and they Houston by you
this time in white Oak Value. The mayor and police
leaders are very frustrated, they keep saying, because now the
media is on it, and it's kind of one of
those things where nobody sees themselves to blame. If you're
(26:02):
a local reporter and the story comes in from your
news director, they say, hey, body and White Oak Value,
and you go, do I have to go do that
story again?
Speaker 13 (26:16):
Do I have to do?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
We have to continue to put fuel on the fire
that there's a serial killer and dead bodies in the values,
And the news director says, which is true. Yes, this
is what people are interested in because not every story,
like every song you release or every movie, takes hold.
(26:41):
But some stories, if covered and it gets a good reaction,
become in and of themselves, like a self affecting reality.
And so it becomes this sort of trend, and the
media is then caught up in the trend of their
making because somehow that thing took root. Well how did
(27:05):
it take root?
Speaker 10 (27:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I don't know. There's five hundred true crime podcasts out there.
People are falling to sleep to true crime podcasts. They're
watching true crime television and listening to true crime podcasts constantly.
And the amazing thing is it's women. Women are more
(27:30):
likely to be the victim of reckless, random violence, usually
sex associated with it. And for a number of reasons,
women are weaker, they're not strong, or not as able
to fight themselves off, they're less likely to be carrying
a weapon. There's all sorts of reasons for this, but
(27:51):
women are at far greater risk. There's no doubt of that.
They're far more likely to be a victim. And so
you think that women would put that out of their minds.
The news is bad enough, but no, they love true
crime podcast In fact, I've seen the numbers, and last
one i've seen it has been a while, but for
the top true crime podcast, it's probably something like eighty
(28:15):
five percent women. And now it's all women doing it.
It's two women talking. This is the model. Now it's
two women talking about brutal true crime and they're killing it.
It's you know, their numbers are through the roof. And
it's interesting because it's it's it used to be kind
(28:37):
of this NPR woman, kind of sharp, snappy, you know,
a little bit a little bit mouthy, sassy type now
it's like two suburban women with a glass of rose
talking about, you know, the brutal murders of women by
(28:57):
a serial killer, and you just this is very, very interesting.
I don't know if this is a way of conquering
the fears, going close to the fire like Icarus. I
don't know, but there is no doubt that this phenomenon
is occurring. So now every new body that pops up
in the Bayu you got to cover, even if you
(29:19):
wouldn't have covered it last year. I saw the numbers
on last year's bodies were covered out of the Bayus,
and I will admit it was more than I expected
it to be. And the thing about it is, as
with everything else, unless it becomes a big story, we
don't know about it. Trees fall in the woods, nobody hears,
(29:41):
it didn't make a sound. There's so many things that
happened that we don't know about, and therefore, in a
sense to us, it didn't happen if we don't come
to learn of it. We always have dozens of people
dead in the Byus. It's just that once it's caught
the attention. And I don't think the gross number this
(30:03):
year is any higher on pace with last year or
the year before or past years. I don't think it's
any higher than the others, but it's taken on its
own social media, and these things have a have a
way of doing that. I asked around to some cops
and I said, all right, off the record, and the
(30:26):
guys who do some of these recoveries, And the answer
to a person is, you've got homeless encampments next to
the yus all over our community. The vyus are are
our groundwater flood, flood control, flood release, and so you've
(30:49):
got these people that live right on the edge of
the vyue and either they get tweaked or twerked or
whatever the term is, they get too deep into the
drugs and they go walking out into the water for
any number of reasons, and they fall into a hole
(31:09):
and can't get up, or they pass out in the water,
or one of them kills the other one and they
just throw them into buyue. And you know, that's obviously.
I will say that apparently some of the bodies that
have been recovered are rather obviously, based on their attire
(31:32):
and the condition of the body, are people who are
homeless and living under a bridge. Not that that life
doesn't have value, but that that's a person that is
at a higher risk than the average person. What scares
people is if people are being yanked out of their
bed in myreland and killed and dumped in the BYO.
(31:55):
I think that's what gives the average person fear. It's
also the case that there have been in the past
murderers who prey on homeless people or prostitutes, because those
are people without a social network. Those are people who
cops are going to are less likely to come looking for.
Those are people who are available. You know, they're not
(32:19):
in a car, they're in a set location. If you
stumble up on them and they don't have anyone around them,
I mean, it's an unfortunate thing. Trump is committing to
bringing back the mental asylums, which is an interesting discussion
because the questions are you going to commit people there
or give them the option we have homeless shelters. Homeless
(32:40):
people tend to not want to go to homeless shelters
because they want to be high all the time and
they can't do that at a shelter, and they're not
going to be able to do that at an asylum.
But I do think that Reagan unloading the asylums. Those
people went under the bridges, and that's where you started
seeing problem after problem after problem with petty crime, with vandalism,
(33:06):
with the folks in the middle of the street bumming
for money, and all the craft that goes along with
that
It's that time.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Michael Very.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Show is on the air.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
It is really on my heart this morning to say
that as a man, but more importantly as a black man,
that this country does not deserve black women, all black people,
but specifically black women.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
You got Obama phone.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Yes, everybody in Cleveland, oh minority got Obama fall Keep

W Black Betty, fam Malam better.
Speaker 10 (01:12):
Because these people, they are crazy, because they always talking
about how Christian they is. Yeah, I don't know how
many of them on that side. I'm getting divorced because
they getting caught up sleeping with their coworkers, staffers.
Speaker 8 (01:23):
In turns all the things.
Speaker 10 (01:25):
Yeah, you ain't gotta believe me. Just go Google. You'll
find some of it, I'm telling you. And the wives
is being messy and petty. They putting it into divorce.
I'm like, whoa, that's gotta be true because your lawyer
would know that they.
Speaker 11 (01:35):
Gonna lose it.
Speaker 9 (01:36):
Oh, Black Betty Pama Dam Who Black Betty Pama Lams

Hi bam Maalam.
Speaker 9 (01:42):
You know that's no lie Fama Lam. She's no rock
to Pama lam dams bam Malama who bad malam w
Bama Lam.
Speaker 12 (01:53):
There's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears,
particularly male white tears, really white tears in general, because
that's what Karens are right. They care now and then
as soon as it get cause green waterworks, white men
can get away with that too, and it has the
(02:13):
same effect.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
And so we're all walking on fan ice or no
ice at all.
Speaker 10 (02:19):
Thirty one percent of Black children live in poverty, compared to.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Eleven percent of white children.
Speaker 10 (02:24):
The natural average is eighteen percent, which suggests the percentage
of black children living in poverty is more than one
hundred and fifty percent.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
My hope is that we would do it differently, you know,
in the moments when we have some power, we will
not do it perfectly. But I do think that all
of us can sort of agree that a politics that
says like there are superior in fear human beings just
in the way to go. And that's the thing that
white people don't trust us to do because they are
(02:52):
so corrupt, you know, their thinking is so morally and
spiritually bankrupt about power that they can't let, you know,
they fear viscerally existentially letting go of power because they
cannot imagine that there's another way to be. It is
either that you dominate or you are dominated. And isn't
it sad that that is spiritually who they are and
(03:15):
that they can't imagine a sort of more expansive.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Notion of the world.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I've held at AR fifteen in my anna, which I added.
Speaker 12 (03:22):
It is as heavy as ten box two that you
might be moving, and the bullet.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That is utilized a fifty caroliber. These kinds of bullets
need to be licensed and do not need to be
on the streets.
Speaker 8 (03:35):
We are going to the border. We've been to the border.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
We've been to the border, we've been to the border.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You haven't been to the border, and I haven't been
to Europe.
Speaker 9 (03:47):
I will go and take Trump out ton b Bene
Pama lamb oh black Bennett pamla lammy hand way down.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
On the subject of sandwiches, I eat a.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Lot of sandwiches. Who doesn't, Man, sandwiches are easy to eat,
But I hate sandwiches at New York Deli's too much
meat on the sandwich. It's like a cow with a
cracker on either side. What would you like, sir, A
postromi sandwich? Anything else? Yeah, a loaf of bread and
some other people? What kind of bread rye? Oh, banana?
You got banana bread? What kind of cheese cottage? Get
(04:25):
that out. I'm not making a banana bread pastrami cotton
cheese sandwich. That was severely room my reputation. I ordered
the Club sandwich all the time, and I'm not even
a member. Man, I don't know how I get away
with it. I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread,
So do I? Well, let's form a club there, okay,
(04:51):
but we need some more stipulations, Yes we do. Instead
of cotton sandwich wants, let's cut it again yes, four triangles,
and we will position them into a circles, and in
the middle we will dump chips or potato salad. Okay,
let me ask you a question. How do you feel
about freely toothpicks? I'm formed, Well, this club is formed,
(05:16):
spread the word on many's nationwide. All my sound is
with l felphas sprouse.
Speaker 13 (05:22):
Well, you know, I don't know that any dude got
high and wrote down what he thought in a way
that was funnier than Mitch Heedbird.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Bobby writes, we need more songs with bama lamb in them,
And I thought, what is bamalamb?
Speaker 11 (05:40):
A real word?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I just didn't know it as possible. Bam malam
is a word most notably known from the ram Jam
song Black Betty, and is theorized to represent the sound
of a musket firing or a whip cracking, with the
term gaining initial additional notoriety as a slang term or
(06:01):
reference to various tools and objects associated with the concept
of a sharp, sudden sound. There's also a separate, unrelated
term ballum, referring to a spirit in Man religion. I
don't think that's what really what they're talking about, So
(06:22):
RJ said on the Black Line, Tzara. When I was younger,
my mom used to clean homes, and one day I
went with her to Miss Lacey's house. My mother always said,
don't ask for anything, don't say anything, don't touch anything.
Miss Lacey asked me if I was hungry once, and
against my mother's wishes, I said yes. Miss Lacy then
made me a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich on rye,
(06:45):
and my mother made me eat every bite. To this day,
I hate cucumbers, I hate cream cheese, I hate rye
bread and women named Lacey, oh our own Daryl coup
To the Man without a Title wrote to the group,
if I'm ever Mark sanchezt drunk, I'm not gonna be
(07:07):
doing wind sprints and beating up an old man. I'm
gonna be crushing a double meat cheeseburger. This is where
we part ways for the show and cross the proverbial rubicon.
Don't drag it out as people often tend to do.
But if you ever got drunk and did something so
stupid that to look back at it, you cannot imagine
(07:31):
a human being doing that. Now is your time? Seven
one three, nine, nine one thousand. If you ever got
drunk did something so stupid that the next morning you
woke up in jail or hell and decided I'm never
drinking again. That is the end of it for me. Now,
I know there are a few of you who will
(07:52):
be upset. You don't need to email me. We're not
encouraging people to do stupid things.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
This is not your opportunity to play I'm a bear.
Just calm down. Maybe this ain't your segment, but for
those of you it'll be mostly men, but there'll be
some women who you got drunk and did something that
you can't imagine having done. Mister you just it was
your Mark Sanchez moment. You cannot imagine looking back that
you did it. But now it's kind of funny. Seven

Speaker 1 (11:08):
After Mark Sanchez is no good, very bad night the
other day when he was stabbed multiple times and has
now been arrested and will be charged for a very
serious crime. The man that stabbed him is terribly terribly
injured with a gash across his face. They have filed
a civil lawsuit as well. This is not going to
(11:32):
be a fun coming year for Mark Sanchez. Now, I
don't know if sports reporters are stupid, or if they
just love clickbait. But for all the stories you keep
saying he could get six years in prison for this,
Nobody gets the maximum punishable sentence in their first ever charge,
(11:57):
certainly not when they're under the extreme influence. He's not
going to get six years, and we all know it.
He might get one day and two years probation, whether
that's good or bad. Stop saying he's going to get
six years. They're all now creating this situation that he's
going to prison for six years. He's not going to
prison for six years. But he is going to regret
(12:20):
that night. There's no doubt about that. And so we
want you to quickly don't get caught up in too
many details. We want you to quickly get to your
story of great regret. Nicole. We go to you first
because we didn't expect women to call anywhere impressed.
Speaker 14 (12:32):
Go well, I thought i'd give you a good laugh
for the morning. So I was out in my twenties
with my cousin and her boyfriend going to bars. We
were in between going from one to another and I
had to use the restroom. So I was going to
pop a squad and an alley. She had a cover
(12:54):
spray necklace she gave me because where we were was
kind of a high crime rate. I'm not a very
good area. So I was using the restroom in the
middle of an alley, have the pepper spray, put it
in my mouth, had a little bit on my tongue,
immediately pulled it away and sprayed myself. So I'm screaming,
(13:16):
rolling around on the ground, and here comes my cousin
and her boyfriend seeing me with all my glory. So
it had taught me be careful where you use the
restroom and always look for your triggers, even on pepper spray.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know what's crazy about that, when you drink enough,
you always have to pee, right the drinking causes you
to have to pee, and then you find yourself in
a situation where it's happening fast. Maybe you didn't notice
it early enough, and your judgment as to what you
(13:57):
should do is severely impair. There are all sorts of
websites now in Twitter feeds, and I guess TikTok has
them as well, of people who found themselves in a
bad situation. And you'll see it. You can tell it.
You you see the look on their face. It's like
a little kid when they got to pee and they'll
grab that area. You're like, oh, he's got to go,
(14:17):
and he's gotta go now, Cliff, you're up, go ahead? O. Sorry, Cliff, Yeah,
this might be my fault though. Cliff, you're there, all right,
Let's go to the next one. Elliott, you're up, go ahead.
Speaker 14 (14:37):
Hey, Michael H.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Me and my Nate, one of my marine friends, and
me and my other friend were in the Navy and
we went downtown and got blacked out. They told me
I blacked out drunk. But they said, man, you were
slapping women around and then you took your shirt off
in the club. They like, they got back to my place,
so like I was like, man, the girls like, yeah,
(15:02):
you you went crazy. It's like, who are you? I
don't remember bringing you back here last night.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I thought there was gonna be a punchline. There wasn't
a punchline to that joke. Ramon, should I be concerned
that there's not a punchline to that joke? But yo? Yeah, yeah,
that one. That one missed out on the funny part.
So we were with my friend and he was drunk
(15:36):
and he started punching girls and just knocking him, just
punching the hell out of him. Yep, wait, where is
the funny part. I'm missing out on the funny part
there was. There's supposed to be something that when we
look back, we go, I can't believe that that was
the dumbest thing ever. But uh, he was just punching
(15:59):
women real hard. A lot is not quite as good.
You know, Mark Sanchez has a young child, like a
few months old, and I think he has two kids total.
The other one's pretty young. That was, uh, you know,
you got to figure his wife's not going to leave him,
(16:20):
because at least there wasn't another woman involved that we
know of. But you're pretty darn drunk if you're, you know,
at midnight running wind sprints in the in the in
the alleyway. I eventually we're going to find out who
he was running wind sprints for, or maybe he was
(16:42):
challenging somebody to running with. I don't know, but well,
this comes a point at the end of this that
you go, oh, man, that was a really, really dumb
thing to do. And so I've just put that on
a Michael Barriss so Michael Berry show.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
There's a video.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's on it's some Saturday night Live or I don't
know what it is, doesn't matter. Shane Gillis is a
firefighter in the video and a reporter comes up to
him and he says, sir, is it true you just
fought a fire for three hours and saved that family
And he says, yes, yes, I did. And he's talking
(17:27):
about what a hero this white firefighter is, and then
twenty seconds into the interview he says, oh, my goodness,
we're getting I'm getting news, breaking news that you are
a white supremacist. Is this a picture of you in
a maga hat? And he says yeah, yeah, And more
breaking news. Is this a picture of you drinking a
(17:50):
beer saying you love Donald Trump? Well, yeah, but we're
talking about the fire. I just saved his family. Oh
my god, he's a white supremacist. How do you respond, folks,
if you're just endpans a white supremacistm And they go
through this whole thing, and by the end of it,
he has you know, that the family has thanked him
for saving them. But then they're told that he's a
(18:11):
white supremacist, so they want nothing to do with him.
And what's interesting is It's only funny because we see
versions of that all day, every day, all day every day.
You know, it's such a fascinating concept that it took
a long time to figure out. How do you get
(18:33):
white people to be ashamed of who they are then
to accuse them of claiming to be better than everyone else.
White people are so afraid of being accused of thinking
they're better than anyone else that it's important to them
(18:56):
to repeatedly, unabashedly, embarrassingly tell you how much less they
are than other people. And because that has been dinned
into people's heads, you see the white liberals, you see
the weak people in this desperate attempt to subjucate themselves
(19:19):
or supplicate themselves. They were awful. Ask Chad, what's the
name of that woman? It was running for president in
twenty Marian Chattel know it? Uh, you know, don't Maryann Shoot,
(19:42):
I can't remember her name, but anyway, Marian Williamson, is
that her name? She had a campaign Marion Williamson. Yeah,
she had a campaign rally where every white person in
the was in a big church, was to go over
to a black or brown person, put your hand on
them and explain to them that you're sorry and ashamed
(20:03):
that you're white. I'm not sorry, I'm might. I'm not ashamed.
Speaker 13 (20:08):
I might.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh you have it? How'd you find that? Oh? Yeah?
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
As I speak, I'm going to ask the white Americans
in the room to please repeat after me, on behalf
of myself and on behalf of my country to you
(20:38):
and all African Americans, from the beginning of our nation's history,
in honor of your ancestors, and on behalf of your children.
Please hear this from my heart. I apologize, Please forgive us.
(21:09):
With this prayer, I acknowledge the depth of the evils
that have been perpetrated against black people in America, from
slavery to lynchings, to white supremacist laws, to the denial
(21:35):
of voting rights, to all the ways, both large and small,
all of them evil, all of them wrong, for all
the oppression, and all of the injustices. I apologize, Please
(21:59):
forgive us.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So I suppose some people's natural inclination would be, well,
there was slavery. Why are we still talking about this?
What exactly are we doing? So we're constantly grading white
people every day, the assumption being they're not very good
(22:33):
and white people are only too eager to join in
on this. God forbid you be proud of anything you are,
because that makes you a Confederate, that makes you a supremacist.
And we're supposed to believe that black people are afraid
of white people. Today, white people are abusive and awful,
(22:55):
and there's not a black person in America scared of
white people. I'll just tell you that right now, nowhere
is that happening. It is not happening. There are plenty
of white people who live in black neighborhoods who are
scared for their lives all day, every day. And there
are plenty of black people living in white neighborhoods who
(23:16):
do not fear for one second because it simply doesn't happen.
There is outright abuse by some blacks. Not all blacks
are black supremacists, but many are. There's almost not a
white supremacist alive in America today, and most Americans are
(23:39):
so ashamed of being white that they will make themselves
into being black to avoid that shame. Rachel Dolah's awe
sean white. We could go on, look at Elizabeth Warren
who claim to be something other than white. That's crap,
(24:01):
this whole white supremacist there's nobody in America even proud
of being white. The entire country is this pitiful, pathetic, sad, whiny,
self hating, self loathing, ashamed group of people so afraid
that someone will say, wait a second. You're married to
(24:25):
a woman, and y'all have children, and you own a
home and two vehicles, and you have a job. That's
white privilege. The fact of the matter is everybody has
an equal opportunity in this country. And the fact of
the matter is a lot, not all, a lot of
blacks squander it. And the fact is a lot of
(24:47):
black elected officials are common criminals, thugs. Sylvester Turner, I
could sit here for three hours and tell you Sylvester
Turner stories, Sheila Jackson five hours. Some of them are documented.
Rodney Ellis all day long. We just keep standing by
(25:10):
and going, well, y'all, just do whatever you want. Just
please don't call us a bad name. People get away
literally with murder because they're black and all. It's all
this big vicious cycle. White people are bad and black
people are good. Well, my goodness alive. It sure doesn't
look like that. On the news, the Michael Berry show,
(25:38):
another body has been found and they Houston by you
this time in white Oak Value. The mayor and police
leaders are very frustrated, they keep saying, because now the
media is on it, and it's kind of one of
those things where nobody sees themselves to blame. If you're
(26:02):
a local reporter and the story comes in from your
news director, they say, hey, body and White Oak Value,
and you go, do I have to go do that
story again?
Speaker 13 (26:16):
Do I have to do?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
We have to continue to put fuel on the fire
that there's a serial killer and dead bodies in the values,
And the news director says, which is true. Yes, this
is what people are interested in because not every story,
like every song you release or every movie, takes hold.
(26:41):
But some stories, if covered and it gets a good reaction,
become in and of themselves, like a self affecting reality.
And so it becomes this sort of trend, and the
media is then caught up in the trend of their
making because somehow that thing took root. Well how did
(27:05):
it take root?
Speaker 10 (27:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I don't know. There's five hundred true crime podcasts out there.
People are falling to sleep to true crime podcasts. They're
watching true crime television and listening to true crime podcasts constantly.
And the amazing thing is it's women. Women are more
(27:30):
likely to be the victim of reckless, random violence, usually
sex associated with it. And for a number of reasons,
women are weaker, they're not strong, or not as able
to fight themselves off, they're less likely to be carrying
a weapon. There's all sorts of reasons for this, but
(27:51):
women are at far greater risk. There's no doubt of that.
They're far more likely to be a victim. And so
you think that women would put that out of their minds.
The news is bad enough, but no, they love true
crime podcast In fact, I've seen the numbers, and last
one i've seen it has been a while, but for
the top true crime podcast, it's probably something like eighty
(28:15):
five percent women. And now it's all women doing it.
It's two women talking. This is the model. Now it's
two women talking about brutal true crime and they're killing it.
It's you know, their numbers are through the roof. And
it's interesting because it's it's it used to be kind
(28:37):
of this NPR woman, kind of sharp, snappy, you know,
a little bit a little bit mouthy, sassy type now
it's like two suburban women with a glass of rose
talking about, you know, the brutal murders of women by
(28:57):
a serial killer, and you just this is very, very interesting.
I don't know if this is a way of conquering
the fears, going close to the fire like Icarus. I
don't know, but there is no doubt that this phenomenon
is occurring. So now every new body that pops up
in the Bayu you got to cover, even if you
(29:19):
wouldn't have covered it last year. I saw the numbers
on last year's bodies were covered out of the Bayus,
and I will admit it was more than I expected
it to be. And the thing about it is, as
with everything else, unless it becomes a big story, we
don't know about it. Trees fall in the woods, nobody hears,
(29:41):
it didn't make a sound. There's so many things that
happened that we don't know about, and therefore, in a
sense to us, it didn't happen if we don't come
to learn of it. We always have dozens of people
dead in the Byus. It's just that once it's caught
the attention. And I don't think the gross number this
(30:03):
year is any higher on pace with last year or
the year before or past years. I don't think it's
any higher than the others, but it's taken on its
own social media, and these things have a have a
way of doing that. I asked around to some cops
and I said, all right, off the record, and the
(30:26):
guys who do some of these recoveries, And the answer
to a person is, you've got homeless encampments next to
the yus all over our community. The vyus are are
our groundwater flood, flood control, flood release, and so you've
(30:49):
got these people that live right on the edge of
the vyue and either they get tweaked or twerked or
whatever the term is, they get too deep into the
drugs and they go walking out into the water for
any number of reasons, and they fall into a hole
(31:09):
and can't get up, or they pass out in the water,
or one of them kills the other one and they
just throw them into buyue. And you know, that's obviously.
I will say that apparently some of the bodies that
have been recovered are rather obviously, based on their attire
(31:32):
and the condition of the body, are people who are
homeless and living under a bridge. Not that that life
doesn't have value, but that that's a person that is
at a higher risk than the average person. What scares
people is if people are being yanked out of their
bed in myreland and killed and dumped in the BYO.
(31:55):
I think that's what gives the average person fear. It's
also the case that there have been in the past
murderers who prey on homeless people or prostitutes, because those
are people without a social network. Those are people who
cops are going to are less likely to come looking for.
Those are people who are available. You know, they're not
(32:19):
in a car, they're in a set location. If you
stumble up on them and they don't have anyone around them,
I mean, it's an unfortunate thing. Trump is committing to
bringing back the mental asylums, which is an interesting discussion
because the questions are you going to commit people there
or give them the option we have homeless shelters. Homeless
(32:40):
people tend to not want to go to homeless shelters
because they want to be high all the time and
they can't do that at a shelter, and they're not
going to be able to do that at an asylum.
But I do think that Reagan unloading the asylums. Those
people went under the bridges, and that's where you started
seeing problem after problem after problem with petty crime, with vandalism,

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
