Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The US is the first time in the history of
the world where a government was organized with a constitution
laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and
goumb and that is what led to the US becoming
the greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be
the best they could be, unlike it had ever happened.
That's American exceptionalism.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's and they may well ask why climb the highest
mountain five thirty five years ago?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Why the Atlantic?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Why does Rice play Texas?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to
go to the moon. We choose to go to the
moon and disscate and do the other thing, not because
they are easy, but because they are hard.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
If we look to the answer as to why for
so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no
other people on earth, it was because here in this
land we unleash the energy and individual genius of man
to a greater extent than has ever.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Been done before.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Freedom and the dignity the individual have been more available
and assured here than in any other place on Earth.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yours if y'all were worried, How come Michael to have
(02:06):
to buy that fella's lunch. That's not right. It should
befall him. We should all pitch in together. It's not
fair that it should have to come out of his
back pocket. Worry not. Friends got a call from Jonathan
Kim that he and Russell Lebara had huddled after that
call and decided that they would like to host. How
(02:28):
did two people huddle? It's funny you say you have
to put if you've been to a wrestling match, like
not wrestling, but actual wrestling in high school. Yeah, so
you know you wear the headgear and all that. At
the beginning of it, you both put your arms around
like it's almost like a hug, but from a little
bit of a distance you're creating there's no there's no
(02:51):
penetrable boundary. So that creates a huddle out of two people.
It's a good question. Yeah, so let's put this into perspective.
So anyway, see you interrupted, Remember you promised not to
interrupt start in February. That was your New Year's resolution.
So uh, they said, no, no, no, no, let us take
care of this guy. This is you don't get you
(03:12):
don't get the joy of this. We're taking care of that,
and tell him to ask for Aaron Castillo when he
gets there at eleven. I kind of get the impression
that Paul Hubbard is a guy like Michael Petru, my trainer,
that if he says, he what time are you been there,
I've been eleven, I kind of get the impression that
he won't be there at ten fifty nine. And if
you're waiting at the front door at eleven oh one,
(03:33):
you missed him because he just came through. I kind
of get the impression that if he rolls up at
ten fifty six, he waits out in his car for
three minutes, for four minutes, you know what I mean.
It's it's eleven means eleven, even if no one's waiting
on him. It's this sort of thing. It's kind of
a German thing that that German Swiss you know you're
on time. It's what you do. It's it's just what
(03:55):
you do. Anyway, put forty three years into perspective. Joe
Flann again, one of our listeners, says, I only made
it twenty one years and seven months. I think about this,
that's almost as many years you've been in radio. That's
a full career, right. I only made it years twenty
one years and seven months in law enforcement, and I
don't miss it at all. ZAR hats off to that fella. Well,
(04:16):
guess what, twenty one years and seven months is exactly
half what our man Paul Hubbard has done exactly half
forty three years to be a law You won't meet
a law enforcement officer, it's been on the only one
I've ever known is longer than that. You spend old
black fella. He's about ninety years old and about ninety pounds,
(04:37):
and this was he just retired a couple years ago,
and it was kind of one of these I don't
want to say mascot of the department because that sounds
insulting and that's not my intention. He was beloved, but
everyone kind of loved it. It was kind of like
the young mister Grayson upstairs. Downstairs, this old black guy,
he had his gun belt on, and I think it
(04:58):
was like a utility belt or something. It looks so
big and heavy and clunky on him, and he'd have
it cinched up real tight so it'd stay on him.
He was ninety years old, he had been a Houston
police officer before Houston was a city, you know, when
it was kind of frontiers land and Santa Anna had
deputized him or something. He had been on longer than
anybody could remember, Like he had sketched the city seal
(05:22):
one day while he was waiting on a stakeout and
he handed it in there like this is the city.
This guy had been there forever. And he was ninety
or ninety one, and I think he'd been in office
for something like seventy years. And my immediate thought was
or maybe seventy two years. He was ninety, and I thought, well,
that's weird because you got to have some college or
military sixty hours of college or military two years of
military service to get hired. And they were like not
(05:44):
back then, No, he was getting course credit when he
was a sophomore. This dude's yeah. How about this email
from Brandon? Although I am single, I'm spending today expressing
gratitude to the ones who were supporting my moving into
whatever next role. I earn you ready for this one,
as I just lost my previous one. Oh I thought
(06:07):
he lost his spouse. Okay, never mind. I was reading
fast Arrow's love for them I don't hold, but rather
more agape. Not quite in the lane of what we
think during Valentine's Day, but showing a faction or sacrifice
and a challenge is a fine expression. I'd say that's true, Brandon,
I'd say that's true. My earnest prayer, no joke involved,
(06:29):
is that for people out there who are single and
wish to find someone else, that you find a good person.
Because I will tell you I've said it before, and
I say it again, and I mean it. If I
didn't have my wife, I'd be in a gutter somewhere.
I don't know when to go to bed, I don't
know when to get up. I don't have any good sense.
I can't make decisions on my own, big decisions, and
(06:51):
I just don't think I would have the will to
carry on in the way that I do. My wife
makes me a better person, She makes me stronger, she
makes me want to be a better dad, she makes
me want to be a better friend. And you know,
a lot of people are in a marriage where it
tears them down. It's a great distraction. They don't want
to go home. I've seen guys they'll do anything to
(07:13):
keep from going home because the situation is so bad,
and that's sad. I look forward to going home. And
if you're that person that looks forward to going home,
you know what it's like. And that sweet lady Felicia
talking about her man. By the way, Felicia, can you
call back up here? We didn't get your phone number.
We wanted to do something nice for y'all. Can you
call back up here and we get your phone number
(07:33):
and email? Please let's go to let's see see. Do
we have time? No, we don't have time. All right,
I'm gonna tell a joke, gradman, I don't have one ready.
Let me think about it for a moment. Uh all right,
(07:59):
here's where for you what happens when you cross a
drug cartel and a mafia boss? Probably killed. It's not
my best work. Come up with that on the fly.
I'll work seven one three, nine, nine one thousand. You
can email through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. What
do you think Paul Hubbard would order like? I don't
(08:23):
think he gets a cheese chiladas like I do. I
mean it's more kind of, you know, dry meat sort
of thing. I'm gonna call Matt Bryce during the break
and ask him if tonight they'll just dim the lights
and play that on loop. If that ain't the best
(08:44):
Valentine's Day you've ever had, you know, one year we
went to that place, Michael Berry's alway talking about Federal
American Grill. And I don't know if they do this
every night or if it was a Valentine's thing, but
the lights were real dim, and I didn't think it
was always at dim like that. They just had candlelights
on the tables and they just played Elvis on Loop
(09:09):
the whole. It was beautiful for a while, but then
it got kind of weird. Let's go to Cissy. Cissy,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sweetheart, good morning,
How are you good? Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
I want to say something to Miss Felicia that made
that phone call. There was one other man like hers.
I lost my husband.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Two years ago tomorrow, to be.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Sure and cherish every word, every moment that she has
with him.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You know, the loss of a loved one like that
really does give a wisdom. If only we could have
that wisdom before they die.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Ter my husband, my husband was the same exact way
he opened doors, took his hat off, tipped his hat
to every woman that he met walking through a door.
He was the love of my life, but I did
not know it until.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
After he was going.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Unfortunately, that seems to be the way it works. Thank
you for the call, Sissy. See you're on the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Go ahead, what's up, mister Barry? How's it going? Man?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
How are you? Is this on the Black Line? No?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
But I am black.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Well, that's that makes it the blackland. See you ever
heard of the name ivan Boski? Is that name ring
a bell?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Ivan Boski? No, I've never heard of this guy.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So ivan Boski. You might have heard the name Michael Milken.
Maybe maybe not. There was a book called Barbarians at
the Gate. Ivan Boski was a financial guy on Wall
Street and he made a lot of money, some of
it illegally. And ivan Boski would wear these these navy
(10:53):
suit banker suits, navy suits with thick chalk pinstripes. His
hair was perfectly It was a white hair, and he
gets his haircut every couple of days. He looked like
he'd have his tide done perfectly. He dressed like a
ten million dollars. And ivan Boski would go to lunch
and they would bring out. This was in New York
(11:15):
in the eighties. When they would bring the food out
on a tray. You know, there would be like six
entrees and they would bring them out and they would
have a steel cover over them and they would lift
them up. It was the big presentation, very continental European.
They'd pull it off. And when they brought it out
to you, well, when they brought the tray out, like
(11:36):
some some places will do a dessert train, they would
do that with the entrees. It'd go out and there's
you know, we have the dover soul here, and we
have the you know, this steak here, and and you
would choose one of the six that you wanted. It
was six entrees every day, and he would let the
other people order and then he'll say I'll have He'd
say I'll have one of each, and they would bring
the food out and he would taste a bite of
(11:59):
each in whichever one he liked, he would eat that.
It was kind of a show of how much money
he had. So ivan Boski was kind of legendary for
being arguably an ass. But what ivan Boski My favorite
story of My friend David Sapristine tells it better than anyone.
But he was at a he was walking into a
meeting and they were it was he was kind of
a corporate raider and he was buying out another company,
(12:23):
but it was an involuntary, hostile takeover. And they're walking
into the meeting. There's a long table with a seat
on the end, and all the lawyers and accountants, all
the service providers are coming in there and they're all
rushing to get to their seats, and the lady who's
coordinating the meeting, and you know, once he's once he
showed up, which is late. Of course, everyone is nervous
(12:45):
and bustling and buzzying and all this. And he walks
in and he walks halfway down the table and he
sits down, and the lady comes over, who's coordinating the
whole thing. She says, mister, mister Boski, we've got you
at the head of the table. And he bounds the
table and he says, wherever I'm sitting is the head
(13:06):
of the table. So see, whatever number you call is
the black line. Own that all right?
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Yeah, I'm slamming my fist on the table. This is
the black line.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah. I hope this call doesn't suck because that was
a hell of a build up.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
There was a hell of a build up.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, let's try it. Let's start it over. Let's set
you up for success.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Okay, Okay, here we go here and.
Speaker 2 (13:26):

you a little little more punch. Okay, all right, here

Michael Berry Show.

on the radio and tell this story. So check this out.
I'm gonna kind of be a Debbie Downer. You were like, hey,
call in with things that you wish.
Speaker 2 (13:49):

We'll tell that story in the next segment, so you
don't have to cut it off. Give me hypeweight and
age see fill out the picture. This is theater of
the mind.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
What do you look like, hight I'm five ten Wait,

trying to like me wherever I Saactly Marvel is a
black man. Hold on, see, I'll let you tell your story.
That'd be downer though it might be.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
I call him rich the Marco Berry.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you,
and I wouldn't blame you if you walk away. I've
been watching you all evening with.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Those tears, and it touches me much more that.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I can't say. I'm talking about Ramons.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
No.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
I hate to think that someone could have hurt someone
like you. And if Mind was him, I'd be right
by your side, and you know he would lay your
troubles on my sworder. What your is in my pocket?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Rest your love on me?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Why leave us on my shoulder? What you is in
my pocket?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Resk jul on me? Why in the course of my life.
I've been shocked a few times. But finding out that
was a Beg song written and first performed by the Begs,
which wasn't so many years ago. That's what occasioned me
having to spend an entire weekend creating my thirty five
(16:27):
most famous Conway Twitty songs. That was a busy weekend, ramon.
And the problem was why you get down to So
you got those first five are hard to do, and
those last five are hard to do because you got
ten that still need to be on there, and you
got to make some toughness and you know that this
(16:48):
list matters, this list is going to be and then
Chad goes and puts it on Spotify, which is still
on there. So I got to live with that the
rest of my life. You know, you get older, you
might change a tune. You know, you start to appreciate that.
All right, here we go, see on the black line.
I'm turning my microphone off. The stage is yours?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Okay? So first is I want to give a massive
shout out to the people, to a group of people
that I respect.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Sorry, go back, Yeah, I got to give a shout out.
So massive shout out to the men in their specifically
their sons lives that teach them basically how to be
a man and that and that's such a like a
vague statement, so more specifically, how to be a provider.
(17:43):
So I grew up with no dad the way a
lot of black kids that were born in the eighties did.
I was raised by my mom and by my grandmother.
I have no siblings, I had no male role models
in my life, so I never.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Got the opportunity to see a man be a provider
in my life. Like that just wasn't a thing. I've
always been a good person, but there's a difference between
just being a good person and being a good provider.
So massive shout out to all the men and that
have sons that are teaching them how to do that.
(18:22):
So my story, to make a very long story short,
I was with a woman for eighteen years, right. We
never got married just because we didn't think it was
important until the end, but we never got married. Right,
So we were college sweethearts. I was, I'm a I
still am a musician. I'm a Grammy nominated musician, and
(18:45):
that's all I'll go into about that. But she was
a college to career type person, right, And so I've
done awesome things in music, like stuff that people they
can try for a thousand years and they'll never do it.
I mean, you know, maybe they can do it's possible
to do, but it's not very common that people get
(19:05):
to the heights that I got to. So, but that
doesn't necessarily bring in a bunch of money like what
people might think it does, you know. So to summarize
the story, around year like maybe sixteen or so, she
finally got a really really good career, started making a
(19:25):
lot of money, and started out pacing me. I've never
been a bum. She never during that entire time, had
to pay any of my bills or anything like that.
But she wanted to get to the point where we
were going on vacation all the time, buying a house.
Her sister got married, and then she finally wanted to
get married, but she didn't really take it too seriously
(19:45):
until then. And I just feel like if I had
someone there to slap me in the face and teach me, hey,
this girl loves you. It doesn't matter if she's saying
that she doesn't want to get married. She's not gonna
tell you no. If you ask her, you should just
do it. You should marry this girl, and you should another.
(20:06):
I'm not gonna call her regret because I don't regret
my music career at all. But I've always been an
artist with the day job, and I feel like it
would have served me a lot better to get an actual,
like non musical career that actually makes like great money
and still do music on the side, because thinking of
it retroactively, I could have done that. But I've always
(20:28):
just been a dreamer and so like I'm I'm also
very tunnel vision. So when there's something that I want,
I go for that I obsess over. And so you know,
I did pretty well for myself, but ended up losing
my woman of eighteen years. So yeah, shout out to
people that are teaching their sons how to do it
the right way. And if you're one of those people
(20:50):
that aren't teaching their kids how to do it the
right way, well then you suck and you should get right.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
See how did you lose your woman of eighteen years?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (21:02):
She started?
Speaker 7 (21:03):
She in her words, she would say that I wasn't
showing up for her. She was she wanted to like
go on a lot of vacations and buy a house
and you know, dude, we were a very very non
traditional couple for the longest time life. For to put
in a perspective, we lived in Montrose for twelve years,
So like, where did you live? We lived on like
(21:27):
on across from Nico Nicos.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I know exactly this. Yeah. Uh,
in that apartment complex directly across. Yes, it has a
burgundy awning out front.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Mmm. So we broke up like two years ago. I'm
not Yeah, I mean I think it does if I
remember correctly.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, and just south of there that that corner lot
is Dimitri Fedacaucas's parking lot. He and his staff all
park over there because they don't have enough parking on
their own property. How about that? What do you do
for living? See?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Uh? Now? I well, like I said, so, since the breakup,
I've been transitioning doing less music and trying to get
an actual career, which I did. Now I work for Comcast.
It's pretty cool. I also have a little pressure washing
side business that I do.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
That's not wrong with that, that's you know what, be
proud of that. What do you do for Comcasts?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
So I do drop Berry. I'm the person that comes
to your house and I bury the cable in the
ground after after they get the people to lay out
a temporary line. Is it hard work, Yes, but I
love physical labor.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Good for you, Hey, real quick? What was the music
that you played? Were you with a band or were
you an instrumentalist? What was your deal?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I used to be in a pretty popular band. I
don't want to say the name, but I wasn't a
popular band. But the Grammy nomination.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Just tell me. We won't tell anybody who was the band.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you off the air.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was it Grady Gains?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Uh? Uh? You know, I'm pretty sure the majority of
your audience has never heard of it. But I still
don't want to say.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Hmm, how come you owe money?
Speaker 7 (23:15):
I don't know her money.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I'm just kidding. Oh her, Yolanda Adams.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I don't know Yolanda Adams anything.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No I said you said her, so I guessed it
was Yolanda Adams.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
I have no idea what you're referring to right now?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Did you play with you? What's your instrument.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I played the bass, bass guitar, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You know who else played the bass? Who was super Fly?
I mean Bobby? Uh? Bobby Walmac played bass.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Oh yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Goods now only.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Many more fis coptic values, FA million dollar record sale.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I'm home now. I hope that I won't be that.
(24:21):
You show love through love, we don't do that. We
show love through sacrifice. So a lot of.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Times we'll be loving you and you don't even know.
For example, right we're sitting on the couch at home,
cuddled up chilling watching movies.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You got your leg on top of my leg. I
don't want your leg there.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
At no point in time during this movie, am I gonna?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
You don't make this better.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
If I had no feeling from the hip down, that
would really prove my movie watching situation. If I had
like one leg with blood in it, right, and then
one Lieutenant Dan, that will be perfect. Now I want
to ask you to take your leg off my leg,
(25:11):
but you can't.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Mean you gotta grow.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
There's no way you have asked that.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And then it goes well right, no matter how nice
you say it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Oh baby, you know your legs.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Are made of clouds.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
Uh, let me get that out there.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Amazing, and not even the cumulan nimbus ones, like the
thin ones like the little you don't even know.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Is that a cloud? And what is it?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Right?
Speaker 9 (25:34):
It's like.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I was just wondering if you could take your little
cloud fig and give me some sunshine.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
You can say that, but all she hears is get
your fat dinosaur thigh off of me.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
You beast?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Holy? Are you a centaur? Is that what you are?
Speaker 11 (25:55):
Because you look like a human, but your legs feel.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Like a horse? Holy sea biscuit?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
But the.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
Your legs should be hanging in a Spanish restaurant when
they shaved him off of it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's what your legs here, you're.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
May out of how Mon said, I know that's what
you are, So instead we just sit there, let you
crush our leg. You ever wonder why every old man
is a cane?
Speaker 10 (26:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
It is true. We are so different men and women.
We are so different. And I can't tell you, in
the course of my life how many friends I have
watched this situation play out where the wife is saying often,
you know, if we have couples over, the wives will
(26:48):
say to my wife, you know things like you know,
Steve doesn't show me that he loves me. Steve doesn't
he doesn't. I mean, I'm sure he does. He doesn't
show me he loves me. And you know, Michael, he
(27:09):
tells you he loves you, and none that is like.
He talks for a living. It's what he does. It's
really all he does. Your man gases up your vehicle,
he cleans it for you. He fixes everything around the house.
He uh drives the kids places, he protects you. He
(27:34):
does this, he does this, he does this, he does this.
That's him showing you. Michael doesn't do those things. He talks.
That's what he does. If you want Michael, then none
of those other things get done. She's very honest with people,
and it's true. Men are typically not as expressive as
(27:59):
women and often don't feel the need to say words
because it is obvious. You know that thing I did
and never said a word. I got up early and
you know, fix this for you. Or I got up
early and did this for you. Or I stayed late
and worked hard so we'd have more money because you
(28:21):
wanted that dress, or you know whatever else. Men will
like in an unspoken way, do things to provide for
their wife and kids and never say a word about it.
Never ask for a compliment, never ask for a thank you,
(28:42):
never asked it even be acknowledged. But that is to
use the term love language. I know it's such a
feminine term, but it's true. That is so true, and
I think it's important for women to understand that love
is expressed in ways other than verbally. Two animals can
(29:07):
show each other that they are amorous. Most animals in
the wild are not committed to long term relationships, but
there are species who are, but they do express feelings
for each other without ever needing words. Words are something
we're fortunate to have, but not every species has this
verbal form of communication. Now that's not to say that
(29:29):
some of them are and the other one's like, oh
you dirty man, Yes, yes I'm in, and they're like,
go god. He's like, oh I knew it. I knu Yeah,
it's about to be on, and they're like, where's my
berry white? Put on my very white. But we have
(29:51):
the opportunity to express ranges of emotion, depth of emotion,
forms of most all of these things we can do.
The problem is some of us are real good at lifting,
and some of us are real good at ciphering, engineering, fixing, repairing,
(30:13):
whatever that may be. And some of us are good
at stringing words together, and unfortunately, I think too many
women and I'm not beating on you girls, Unfortunately I
think too many women view the ability to stream together words.
They confuse that with a depth of love. When your
man loves you more than anybody. And I watched that
(30:35):
because my dad was not a verbally expressive man. But boy,
is he a loving man. And he does it by
actions and he expects you to see from that what
that means. Susan writes Zar, I kissed a lot of
frogs before I found my friend, my prince. I realized
(30:55):
I was just kissing frogs. I lost my prince on
December second, that's two months ago, Remo, so this is
the first Valentine's Day without him. He was the most
giving person I ever knew, and he was so thoughtful
with what he gave to you. I was blessed to
have fifteen years with him. Hug your loved ones longer
and harder, Susan Shifflet, because we don't know when they're gone.
(31:17):
Our dear friend, Connie Stagner and her Valentine, Billy Stagner
are at a Corey Diamonds in Friendswood today, and you know,
she told me what The deal was she does this
thing on Valentine's Day every day that if you come
down on Valentine's Day and you purchase jewelry for your wife,
(31:39):
you get a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates,
and a card. So it's kind of a kind of
makes it easy on you because you're out there. Otherwise
we were paying. We were playing pickleball last night and
a buddy of ours I won't say his name because
I don't want to get him trouble. I don't know
if his wife listens or not. But my calf started.
(31:59):
Uh now, I'm not It's not wasn't my hamstring it
It wasn't anything like that, but it hurt. My calf
was hurting because I had worked out in the afternoon
and I did these goofy little things. I don't know,
if you go up on your toes and you lift
the back of your foot up and anyway, So my
calf was hurting. And so after I think five games,
I said, guys, I can't play the can't play the
(32:21):
tie break. Yes, I can't play it because I'm afraid
I've torn my calf. I don't want to make it
any worse. And he said, Michael, honestly, I'm grateful because
I need to go get my wife's Valentine's Day present
and the four of us, so the other two I'd
taken care of my business already. The other two were like,
uh oh, we we kind of probably need to do
(32:41):
that too, because his wife had the expectation of what
time he'd be home, and if we were going to
quit early, that would give him time to go handle
his business. So if you need to be connected with
Magpies for your gift or a Corey Diamonds for your gift,
or you need a reservation at Federal American Grill, or
you have a quests about Gringoes or Big City Wings,
(33:03):
I am happy to help you. Or maybe you're buying
a vehicle,
It's that time, time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The US is the first time in the history of
the world where a government was organized with a constitution
laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and
goumb and that is what led to the US becoming
the greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be
the best they could be, unlike it had ever happened.
That's American exceptionalism.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's and they may well ask why climb the highest
mountain five thirty five years ago?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Why the Atlantic?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Why does Rice play Texas?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to
go to the moon. We choose to go to the
moon and disscate and do the other thing, not because
they are easy, but because they are hard.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
If we look to the answer as to why for
so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no
other people on earth, it was because here in this
land we unleash the energy and individual genius of man
to a greater extent than has ever.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Been done before.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Freedom and the dignity the individual have been more available
and assured here than in any other place on Earth.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yours if y'all were worried, How come Michael to have
(02:06):
to buy that fella's lunch. That's not right. It should
befall him. We should all pitch in together. It's not
fair that it should have to come out of his
back pocket. Worry not. Friends got a call from Jonathan
Kim that he and Russell Lebara had huddled after that
call and decided that they would like to host. How
(02:28):
did two people huddle? It's funny you say you have
to put if you've been to a wrestling match, like
not wrestling, but actual wrestling in high school. Yeah, so
you know you wear the headgear and all that. At
the beginning of it, you both put your arms around
like it's almost like a hug, but from a little
bit of a distance you're creating there's no there's no
(02:51):
penetrable boundary. So that creates a huddle out of two people.
It's a good question. Yeah, so let's put this into perspective.
So anyway, see you interrupted, Remember you promised not to
interrupt start in February. That was your New Year's resolution.
So uh, they said, no, no, no, no, let us take
care of this guy. This is you don't get you
(03:12):
don't get the joy of this. We're taking care of that,
and tell him to ask for Aaron Castillo when he
gets there at eleven. I kind of get the impression
that Paul Hubbard is a guy like Michael Petru, my trainer,
that if he says, he what time are you been there,
I've been eleven, I kind of get the impression that
he won't be there at ten fifty nine. And if
you're waiting at the front door at eleven oh one,
(03:33):
you missed him because he just came through. I kind
of get the impression that if he rolls up at
ten fifty six, he waits out in his car for
three minutes, for four minutes, you know what I mean.
It's it's eleven means eleven, even if no one's waiting
on him. It's this sort of thing. It's kind of
a German thing that that German Swiss you know you're
on time. It's what you do. It's it's just what
(03:55):
you do. Anyway, put forty three years into perspective. Joe
Flann again, one of our listeners, says, I only made
it twenty one years and seven months. I think about this,
that's almost as many years you've been in radio. That's
a full career, right. I only made it years twenty
one years and seven months in law enforcement, and I
don't miss it at all. ZAR hats off to that fella. Well,
(04:16):
guess what, twenty one years and seven months is exactly
half what our man Paul Hubbard has done exactly half
forty three years to be a law You won't meet
a law enforcement officer, it's been on the only one
I've ever known is longer than that. You spend old
black fella. He's about ninety years old and about ninety pounds,
(04:37):
and this was he just retired a couple years ago,
and it was kind of one of these I don't
want to say mascot of the department because that sounds
insulting and that's not my intention. He was beloved, but
everyone kind of loved it. It was kind of like
the young mister Grayson upstairs. Downstairs, this old black guy,
he had his gun belt on, and I think it
(04:58):
was like a utility belt or something. It looks so
big and heavy and clunky on him, and he'd have
it cinched up real tight so it'd stay on him.
He was ninety years old, he had been a Houston
police officer before Houston was a city, you know, when
it was kind of frontiers land and Santa Anna had
deputized him or something. He had been on longer than
anybody could remember, Like he had sketched the city seal
(05:22):
one day while he was waiting on a stakeout and
he handed it in there like this is the city.
This guy had been there forever. And he was ninety
or ninety one, and I think he'd been in office
for something like seventy years. And my immediate thought was
or maybe seventy two years. He was ninety, and I thought, well,
that's weird because you got to have some college or
military sixty hours of college or military two years of
military service to get hired. And they were like not
(05:44):
back then, No, he was getting course credit when he
was a sophomore. This dude's yeah. How about this email
from Brandon? Although I am single, I'm spending today expressing
gratitude to the ones who were supporting my moving into
whatever next role. I earn you ready for this one,
as I just lost my previous one. Oh I thought
(06:07):
he lost his spouse. Okay, never mind. I was reading
fast Arrow's love for them I don't hold, but rather
more agape. Not quite in the lane of what we
think during Valentine's Day, but showing a faction or sacrifice
and a challenge is a fine expression. I'd say that's true, Brandon,
I'd say that's true. My earnest prayer, no joke involved,
(06:29):
is that for people out there who are single and
wish to find someone else, that you find a good person.
Because I will tell you I've said it before, and
I say it again, and I mean it. If I
didn't have my wife, I'd be in a gutter somewhere.
I don't know when to go to bed, I don't
know when to get up. I don't have any good sense.
I can't make decisions on my own, big decisions, and
(06:51):
I just don't think I would have the will to
carry on in the way that I do. My wife
makes me a better person, She makes me stronger, she
makes me want to be a better dad, she makes
me want to be a better friend. And you know,
a lot of people are in a marriage where it
tears them down. It's a great distraction. They don't want
to go home. I've seen guys they'll do anything to
(07:13):
keep from going home because the situation is so bad,
and that's sad. I look forward to going home. And
if you're that person that looks forward to going home,
you know what it's like. And that sweet lady Felicia
talking about her man. By the way, Felicia, can you
call back up here? We didn't get your phone number.
We wanted to do something nice for y'all. Can you
call back up here and we get your phone number
(07:33):
and email? Please let's go to let's see see. Do
we have time? No, we don't have time. All right,
I'm gonna tell a joke, gradman, I don't have one ready.
Let me think about it for a moment. Uh all right,
(07:59):
here's where for you what happens when you cross a
drug cartel and a mafia boss? Probably killed. It's not
my best work. Come up with that on the fly.
I'll work seven one three, nine, nine one thousand. You
can email through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. What
do you think Paul Hubbard would order like? I don't
(08:23):
think he gets a cheese chiladas like I do. I
mean it's more kind of, you know, dry meat sort
of thing. I'm gonna call Matt Bryce during the break
and ask him if tonight they'll just dim the lights
and play that on loop. If that ain't the best
(08:44):
Valentine's Day you've ever had, you know, one year we
went to that place, Michael Berry's alway talking about Federal
American Grill. And I don't know if they do this
every night or if it was a Valentine's thing, but
the lights were real dim, and I didn't think it
was always at dim like that. They just had candlelights
on the tables and they just played Elvis on Loop
(09:09):
the whole. It was beautiful for a while, but then
it got kind of weird. Let's go to Cissy. Cissy,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sweetheart, good morning,
How are you good? Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
I want to say something to Miss Felicia that made
that phone call. There was one other man like hers.
I lost my husband.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Two years ago tomorrow, to be.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Sure and cherish every word, every moment that she has
with him.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You know, the loss of a loved one like that
really does give a wisdom. If only we could have
that wisdom before they die.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Ter my husband, my husband was the same exact way
he opened doors, took his hat off, tipped his hat
to every woman that he met walking through a door.
He was the love of my life, but I did
not know it until.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
After he was going.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Unfortunately, that seems to be the way it works. Thank
you for the call, Sissy. See you're on the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Go ahead, what's up, mister Barry? How's it going? Man?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
How are you? Is this on the Black Line? No?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
But I am black.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Well, that's that makes it the blackland. See you ever
heard of the name ivan Boski? Is that name ring
a bell?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Ivan Boski? No, I've never heard of this guy.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So ivan Boski. You might have heard the name Michael Milken.
Maybe maybe not. There was a book called Barbarians at
the Gate. Ivan Boski was a financial guy on Wall
Street and he made a lot of money, some of
it illegally. And ivan Boski would wear these these navy
(10:53):
suit banker suits, navy suits with thick chalk pinstripes. His
hair was perfectly It was a white hair, and he
gets his haircut every couple of days. He looked like
he'd have his tide done perfectly. He dressed like a
ten million dollars. And ivan Boski would go to lunch
and they would bring out. This was in New York
(11:15):
in the eighties. When they would bring the food out
on a tray. You know, there would be like six
entrees and they would bring them out and they would
have a steel cover over them and they would lift
them up. It was the big presentation, very continental European.
They'd pull it off. And when they brought it out
to you, well, when they brought the tray out, like
(11:36):
some some places will do a dessert train, they would
do that with the entrees. It'd go out and there's
you know, we have the dover soul here, and we
have the you know, this steak here, and and you
would choose one of the six that you wanted. It
was six entrees every day, and he would let the
other people order and then he'll say I'll have He'd
say I'll have one of each, and they would bring
the food out and he would taste a bite of
(11:59):
each in whichever one he liked, he would eat that.
It was kind of a show of how much money
he had. So ivan Boski was kind of legendary for
being arguably an ass. But what ivan Boski My favorite
story of My friend David Sapristine tells it better than anyone.
But he was at a he was walking into a
meeting and they were it was he was kind of
a corporate raider and he was buying out another company,
(12:23):
but it was an involuntary, hostile takeover. And they're walking
into the meeting. There's a long table with a seat
on the end, and all the lawyers and accountants, all
the service providers are coming in there and they're all
rushing to get to their seats, and the lady who's
coordinating the meeting, and you know, once he's once he
showed up, which is late. Of course, everyone is nervous
(12:45):
and bustling and buzzying and all this. And he walks
in and he walks halfway down the table and he
sits down, and the lady comes over, who's coordinating the
whole thing. She says, mister, mister Boski, we've got you
at the head of the table. And he bounds the
table and he says, wherever I'm sitting is the head
(13:06):
of the table. So see, whatever number you call is
the black line. Own that all right?
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Yeah, I'm slamming my fist on the table. This is
the black line.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah. I hope this call doesn't suck because that was
a hell of a build up.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
There was a hell of a build up.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, let's try it. Let's start it over. Let's set
you up for success.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Okay, Okay, here we go here and.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I need a little more volume from me. I want
you a little little more punch. Okay, all right, here
we go.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
See hold on, No, no, we're not ready. We're not ready.
I'll entry see on the black line. You're on the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
All right, thanks for giving me a chance to be
on the radio and tell this story. So check this out.
I'm gonna kind of be a Debbie Downer. You were like, hey,
call in with things that you wish.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, I only got forty seconds, so hold on.
We'll tell that story in the next segment, so you
don't have to cut it off. Give me hypeweight and
age see fill out the picture. This is theater of
the mind.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
What do you look like, hight I'm five ten Wait,
I'm about one sixty two now, very handsome, very fit,
and I'm thirty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What's what we got going on upstairs? We got the
shaved head, we got the afro, we got Billy d Williams,
Jerry Carls, what are we working with?
Speaker 7 (14:15):
No, I got I have dred. Have you ever seen
a black panther?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You know?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Killer?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
I had that before the movie. So when the movie
came out, everyone was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You're trying to look like kill Mongers, Like, oh, Killer
trying to like me wherever I Saactly Marvel is a
black man. Hold on, see, I'll let you tell your story.
That'd be downer though it might be.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
I call him rich the Marco Berry.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you,
and I wouldn't blame you if you walk away. I've
been watching you all evening with.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Those tears, and it touches me much more that.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I can't say. I'm talking about Ramons.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
No.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
I hate to think that someone could have hurt someone
like you. And if Mind was him, I'd be right
by your side, and you know he would lay your
troubles on my sworder. What your is in my pocket?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Rest your love on me?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Why leave us on my shoulder? What you is in
my pocket?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Resk jul on me? Why in the course of my life.
I've been shocked a few times. But finding out that
was a Beg song written and first performed by the Begs,
which wasn't so many years ago. That's what occasioned me
having to spend an entire weekend creating my thirty five
(16:27):
most famous Conway Twitty songs. That was a busy weekend, ramon.
And the problem was why you get down to So
you got those first five are hard to do, and
those last five are hard to do because you got
ten that still need to be on there, and you
got to make some toughness and you know that this
(16:48):
list matters, this list is going to be and then
Chad goes and puts it on Spotify, which is still
on there. So I got to live with that the
rest of my life. You know, you get older, you
might change a tune. You know, you start to appreciate that.
All right, here we go, see on the black line.
I'm turning my microphone off. The stage is yours?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Okay? So first is I want to give a massive
shout out to the people, to a group of people
that I respect.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Sorry, go back, Yeah, I got to give a shout out.
So massive shout out to the men in their specifically
their sons lives that teach them basically how to be
a man and that and that's such a like a
vague statement, so more specifically, how to be a provider.
(17:43):
So I grew up with no dad the way a
lot of black kids that were born in the eighties did.
I was raised by my mom and by my grandmother.
I have no siblings, I had no male role models
in my life, so I never.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Got the opportunity to see a man be a provider
in my life. Like that just wasn't a thing. I've
always been a good person, but there's a difference between
just being a good person and being a good provider.
So massive shout out to all the men and that
have sons that are teaching them how to do that.
(18:22):
So my story, to make a very long story short,
I was with a woman for eighteen years, right. We
never got married just because we didn't think it was
important until the end, but we never got married. Right,
So we were college sweethearts. I was, I'm a I
still am a musician. I'm a Grammy nominated musician, and
(18:45):
that's all I'll go into about that. But she was
a college to career type person, right, And so I've
done awesome things in music, like stuff that people they
can try for a thousand years and they'll never do it.
I mean, you know, maybe they can do it's possible
to do, but it's not very common that people get
(19:05):
to the heights that I got to. So, but that
doesn't necessarily bring in a bunch of money like what
people might think it does, you know. So to summarize
the story, around year like maybe sixteen or so, she
finally got a really really good career, started making a
(19:25):
lot of money, and started out pacing me. I've never
been a bum. She never during that entire time, had
to pay any of my bills or anything like that.
But she wanted to get to the point where we
were going on vacation all the time, buying a house.
Her sister got married, and then she finally wanted to
get married, but she didn't really take it too seriously
(19:45):
until then. And I just feel like if I had
someone there to slap me in the face and teach me, hey,
this girl loves you. It doesn't matter if she's saying
that she doesn't want to get married. She's not gonna
tell you no. If you ask her, you should just
do it. You should marry this girl, and you should another.
(20:06):
I'm not gonna call her regret because I don't regret
my music career at all. But I've always been an
artist with the day job, and I feel like it
would have served me a lot better to get an actual,
like non musical career that actually makes like great money
and still do music on the side, because thinking of
it retroactively, I could have done that. But I've always
(20:28):
just been a dreamer and so like I'm I'm also
very tunnel vision. So when there's something that I want,
I go for that I obsess over. And so you know,
I did pretty well for myself, but ended up losing
my woman of eighteen years. So yeah, shout out to
people that are teaching their sons how to do it
the right way. And if you're one of those people
(20:50):
that aren't teaching their kids how to do it the
right way, well then you suck and you should get right.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
See how did you lose your woman of eighteen years?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (21:02):
She started?
Speaker 7 (21:03):
She in her words, she would say that I wasn't
showing up for her. She was she wanted to like
go on a lot of vacations and buy a house
and you know, dude, we were a very very non
traditional couple for the longest time life. For to put
in a perspective, we lived in Montrose for twelve years,
So like, where did you live? We lived on like
(21:27):
on across from Nico Nicos.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, I know exactly this. Yeah. Uh,
in that apartment complex directly across. Yes, it has a
burgundy awning out front.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Mmm. So we broke up like two years ago. I'm
not Yeah, I mean I think it does if I
remember correctly.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, and just south of there that that corner lot
is Dimitri Fedacaucas's parking lot. He and his staff all
park over there because they don't have enough parking on
their own property. How about that? What do you do
for living? See?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Uh? Now? I well, like I said, so, since the breakup,
I've been transitioning doing less music and trying to get
an actual career, which I did. Now I work for Comcast.
It's pretty cool. I also have a little pressure washing
side business that I do.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
That's not wrong with that, that's you know what, be
proud of that. What do you do for Comcasts?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
So I do drop Berry. I'm the person that comes
to your house and I bury the cable in the
ground after after they get the people to lay out
a temporary line. Is it hard work, Yes, but I
love physical labor.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Good for you, Hey, real quick? What was the music
that you played? Were you with a band or were
you an instrumentalist? What was your deal?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I used to be in a pretty popular band. I
don't want to say the name, but I wasn't a
popular band. But the Grammy nomination.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Just tell me. We won't tell anybody who was the band.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you off the air.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Was it Grady Gains?
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Uh? Uh? You know, I'm pretty sure the majority of
your audience has never heard of it. But I still
don't want to say.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Hmm, how come you owe money?
Speaker 7 (23:15):
I don't know her money.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I'm just kidding. Oh her, Yolanda Adams.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I don't know Yolanda Adams anything.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No I said you said her, so I guessed it
was Yolanda Adams.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
I have no idea what you're referring to right now?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Did you play with you? What's your instrument.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I played the bass, bass guitar, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You know who else played the bass? Who was super Fly?
I mean Bobby? Uh? Bobby Walmac played bass.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Oh yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Goods now only.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Many more fis coptic values, FA million dollar record sale.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I'm home now. I hope that I won't be that.
(24:21):
You show love through love, we don't do that. We
show love through sacrifice. So a lot of.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Times we'll be loving you and you don't even know.
For example, right we're sitting on the couch at home,
cuddled up chilling watching movies.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You got your leg on top of my leg. I
don't want your leg there.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
At no point in time during this movie, am I gonna?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
You don't make this better.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
If I had no feeling from the hip down, that
would really prove my movie watching situation. If I had
like one leg with blood in it, right, and then
one Lieutenant Dan, that will be perfect. Now I want
to ask you to take your leg off my leg,
(25:11):
but you can't.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Mean you gotta grow.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
There's no way you have asked that.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
And then it goes well right, no matter how nice
you say it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Oh baby, you know your legs.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Are made of clouds.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
Uh, let me get that out there.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Amazing, and not even the cumulan nimbus ones, like the
thin ones like the little you don't even know.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Is that a cloud? And what is it?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Right?
Speaker 9 (25:34):
It's like.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I was just wondering if you could take your little
cloud fig and give me some sunshine.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
You can say that, but all she hears is get
your fat dinosaur thigh off of me.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
You beast?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Holy? Are you a centaur? Is that what you are?
Speaker 11 (25:55):
Because you look like a human, but your legs feel.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Like a horse? Holy sea biscuit?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
But the.
Speaker 11 (26:02):
Your legs should be hanging in a Spanish restaurant when
they shaved him off of it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's what your legs here, you're.
Speaker 11 (26:08):
May out of how Mon said, I know that's what
you are, So instead we just sit there, let you
crush our leg. You ever wonder why every old man
is a cane?
Speaker 10 (26:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
It is true. We are so different men and women.
We are so different. And I can't tell you, in
the course of my life how many friends I have
watched this situation play out where the wife is saying often,
you know, if we have couples over, the wives will
(26:48):
say to my wife, you know things like you know,
Steve doesn't show me that he loves me. Steve doesn't
he doesn't. I mean, I'm sure he does. He doesn't
show me he loves me. And you know, Michael, he
(27:09):
tells you he loves you, and none that is like.
He talks for a living. It's what he does. It's
really all he does. Your man gases up your vehicle,
he cleans it for you. He fixes everything around the house.
He uh drives the kids places, he protects you. He
(27:34):
does this, he does this, he does this, he does this.
That's him showing you. Michael doesn't do those things. He talks.
That's what he does. If you want Michael, then none
of those other things get done. She's very honest with people,
and it's true. Men are typically not as expressive as
(27:59):
women and often don't feel the need to say words
because it is obvious. You know that thing I did
and never said a word. I got up early and
you know, fix this for you. Or I got up
early and did this for you. Or I stayed late
and worked hard so we'd have more money because you
(28:21):
wanted that dress, or you know whatever else. Men will
like in an unspoken way, do things to provide for
their wife and kids and never say a word about it.
Never ask for a compliment, never ask for a thank you,
(28:42):
never asked it even be acknowledged. But that is to
use the term love language. I know it's such a
feminine term, but it's true. That is so true, and
I think it's important for women to understand that love
is expressed in ways other than verbally. Two animals can
(29:07):
show each other that they are amorous. Most animals in
the wild are not committed to long term relationships, but
there are species who are, but they do express feelings
for each other without ever needing words. Words are something
we're fortunate to have, but not every species has this
verbal form of communication. Now that's not to say that
(29:29):
some of them are and the other one's like, oh
you dirty man, Yes, yes I'm in, and they're like,
go god. He's like, oh I knew it. I knu Yeah,
it's about to be on, and they're like, where's my
berry white? Put on my very white. But we have
(29:51):
the opportunity to express ranges of emotion, depth of emotion,
forms of most all of these things we can do.
The problem is some of us are real good at lifting,
and some of us are real good at ciphering, engineering, fixing, repairing,
(30:13):
whatever that may be. And some of us are good
at stringing words together, and unfortunately, I think too many
women and I'm not beating on you girls, Unfortunately I
think too many women view the ability to stream together words.
They confuse that with a depth of love. When your
man loves you more than anybody. And I watched that
(30:35):
because my dad was not a verbally expressive man. But boy,
is he a loving man. And he does it by
actions and he expects you to see from that what
that means. Susan writes Zar, I kissed a lot of
frogs before I found my friend, my prince. I realized
(30:55):
I was just kissing frogs. I lost my prince on
December second, that's two months ago, Remo, so this is
the first Valentine's Day without him. He was the most
giving person I ever knew, and he was so thoughtful
with what he gave to you. I was blessed to
have fifteen years with him. Hug your loved ones longer
and harder, Susan Shifflet, because we don't know when they're gone.
(31:17):
Our dear friend, Connie Stagner and her Valentine, Billy Stagner
are at a Corey Diamonds in Friendswood today, and you know,
she told me what The deal was she does this
thing on Valentine's Day every day that if you come
down on Valentine's Day and you purchase jewelry for your wife,
(31:39):
you get a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates,
and a card. So it's kind of a kind of
makes it easy on you because you're out there. Otherwise
we were paying. We were playing pickleball last night and
a buddy of ours I won't say his name because
I don't want to get him trouble. I don't know
if his wife listens or not. But my calf started.
(31:59):
Uh now, I'm not It's not wasn't my hamstring it
It wasn't anything like that, but it hurt. My calf
was hurting because I had worked out in the afternoon
and I did these goofy little things. I don't know,
if you go up on your toes and you lift
the back of your foot up and anyway, So my
calf was hurting. And so after I think five games,
I said, guys, I can't play the can't play the
(32:21):
tie break. Yes, I can't play it because I'm afraid
I've torn my calf. I don't want to make it
any worse. And he said, Michael, honestly, I'm grateful because
I need to go get my wife's Valentine's Day present
and the four of us, so the other two I'd
taken care of my business already. The other two were like,
uh oh, we we kind of probably need to do
(32:41):
that too, because his wife had the expectation of what
time he'd be home, and if we were going to
quit early, that would give him time to go handle
his business. So if you need to be connected with
Magpies for your gift or a Corey Diamonds for your gift,
or you need a reservation at Federal American Grill, or
you have a quests about Gringoes or Big City Wings,
(33:03):
I am happy to help you. Or maybe you're buying
a vehicle,
