Speaker 2 (01:22):
Why gosh we hadn't made.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Those On this the eighty first anniversary of D Day.
I am reminded of the speech Dwight David Eisenhower delivered
(01:48):
when he said, well, before I say what he said,
it is good to remember that Robert E. Lee, after World,
after the Civil War, came the chancellor of Washington and
Lee University, and when addressing the student body, he would say,
the eyes of the South are upon you. And the
(02:13):
theater director at the University of Texas would tell the students,
or maybe it was a chaplain, the eyes of Texas
are upon You, from which the Minstrel Show was made
as a joke to make fun of the guy using
his line the eyes of Texas are upon You, which
has become the song for the University of Texas and
(02:36):
for many people, for the entire state of Texas, not Aggie's,
but for many others. The concept that the eyes of
God are upon you, the eyes of the South, they
are upon you, the Texas are upon you. And Dwight
David Eisenhower told the troops the eyes of the world
are upon you, and they were and they have been.
(02:59):
I mean, I don't know that there is a more
talked about battle in all of history. It's up there, right,
I mean, well, macho Manenhgan was big. You know what,
You're right, that's a very good point. Ramon Victor, you're
old Michael Berry show. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
From More. That's good to talk to you. I just
wanted to check my understanding versus your understanding of the
reconciliation package that's before Congress right now. It's my understanding
that reconciliation can only be accomplished to non discretionary funds
(03:42):
or non discretionary budgets, and so I feel like that
from what I've learned, or hopefully what I've learned, is
if it's correct that you know, this is only part
of the coming up cuts and you know, reforms and
(04:03):
basically clearness swamp. But you know as well as I do.
You pump a swamp out, next day it's filled back out.
You got to keep pumping. So I just you know,
I want people to settle down. Everybody today wants immediate
gratification of No. I want what I want, and I
(04:23):
want it now. And course with social media and everything
else going on, it's he said this, and they said that.
And you know, of course, congressmen, they are loyal to
or supposedly loyal to their constituency and here again that
may be part of the problem. But anyway, I'll shut
(04:45):
up and give you a chance to talk because I
value your opinion.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, I appreciate that, Victor, And it's a very interesting perspective.
I love to get the various voices, ages, backgrounds, perspective,
see how people see things. Well, the only thing I
will add to that is this, since the House passed
(05:09):
the Big Beautiful bill, if you look, if you watch
Fox News, which Fox and Newsmax are the base of
Republican Party primary voters. If you watch those two you
will notice that with a Republican president, Republican majority in
(05:33):
the House, in the Senate, and a Republican majority in
the House, nobody's talking about the bill upon passage, which
happened I think at seven o'clock in the morning on
a Thursday. I know because I was in DC and
I was having breakfast, and it's everyone was coming in
and we were watching, and I didn't know if it
(05:53):
was going to happen before I went on the air.
By the time I went on the air, it was
just happening anyway. Long story, short, short er, because it's
not short. If this bill delivered on the promises made
(06:15):
by the Republican elected officials to the base, if it
delivered on those things, you would get a constant reminder,
a championing parades that did not happen. In fact, they
(06:36):
invoked a strategy immediately to turn the focus back on
Joe Biden's decline. It's the biggest scandal in the last
hundred years, biggest scandal in American history. If this had
been a grand win by when I don't mean passage,
(07:00):
the win for Trump was getting it passed, no doubt
about that. The win for Trump was getting it passed.
The win is not accomplishing what the base wanted.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
What has.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Republican elected officials, what has their next snapping is how
can this thing pass? And the base not criticized Trump.
That is the level that they called Ronald Reagan the
teflon president. Whatever you threw it him didn't It just
(07:38):
didn't stick. That was the point. Reagan. Reagan was an
iron skillet compared to this. The Trump base does not
leave him, period, end of story. There is literally you
go back to that first year where they claimed he said,
and he said something close to this, that he could
(08:00):
murder somebody on Fifth Avenue at noon and he wouldn't
lose his supporters. I made much of that at the
time because I didn't feel that there was a sense
of accountability. But I'll leave that there. You've got Cornpop
(08:24):
was a bad dude the Michael Berry Show. Dang, the
stock market is so volatile, and particularly these days, such
an interesting time that the Trump tariffs, the anti Trump
insiders who were constantly trying to drive the stock market down,
(08:46):
the exuberance of the everyday American. I mean I'm not
saying it's the folks who who took Robin Hood, who
took Game Stop to historic highs and stuck it to Akermany,
(09:07):
and the folks with Robinhood. But somewhere in between is
a lot of small business owners making stock trades and
kind of counterbalancing all the tariff fears and driving the
stock market back up. The market has regained all of
(09:27):
the losses since Trump was elected. Yesterday. During the course
of this spat, Tesla shares or the Tesla market value dropped.
Prepare for this remark, one hundred and fifty two point
(09:48):
four billion dollars in one day.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
That is.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's staggering. It is truly staggering what that means. So
during the break, I thought, let me go check Tesla stock.
It's up five point one five percent today, so it
is up to.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It was just over three hundred as I started that sentence,
ninety nine two hundred nine nine dollars and thirty seven
cents to share right now, But that's up fourteen sixty
seven for the day gross, and it's up five point
one five percent. I need to look at the number,
but I think that brings it back to where it
was may even be higher than where it was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So again, this is why I tell people it's dangerous
to watch stocks respond to headlines because they are very irrational,
extremely irrational. I will track a stock when a headline
pops and it usually takes a no depending on what
(11:00):
the news story is, but it'll take a nose dive
immediately because people are conflict averse and risk averse. It's
why so few people will stand up and speak out,
because they're so afraid of being criticized. People are driven
much more by fear than they are optimism, hopefulness. If
(11:23):
you look at most advertising, it is based on fear.
The Orcan man wanted you to buy their termite treatment
because a termite larger than your living room is going
to swallow the whole family. You ever seen a termite.
They're not that frightening now. They will do some damage
long term, but the point is you don't need to
(11:45):
fear the termite. You just need to maintain your home.
So the fear yesterday over, Oh my god, Trump's going
to close down all of Elon's companies, including Tesla. Will know, no,
he's not. People still don't get Trump. We're nine years
into the modern incarnation of Trump. He's been around since
(12:08):
I mean really since the eighties, arguably since the seventies,
been on the public scene in a big way nationally
since the eighties, in movies on SNL. People Still you
have to reach a point where you don't take anything,
he says, literally, because if you do, you're going to
go crazy. And if you're investing based on that, good grief,
(12:32):
how many people are getting chewed up and spat out
over this volatility in just Tesla shares alone, It's amazing,
It is absolutely amazing. I have gone very heavy into
tech this year because I'm convinced that this is the
heyday of tech. And the question isn't whether you're going
(12:57):
to see a heyday for tech, question is that are
you going to get it right? I think cybersecurity is
going to be huge. Who's gonna who's gonna win? And
there are going to be some people that are going
to raise a lot of cash and they're going to
flame out, and then there are gonna be something they're
going to hit. In Vidia is so high already, is
(13:20):
Nvidia going to go even higher? Or is it going
to fall off the side of a cliff? Well, their
last earnings report last week was phenomenal, and they are
finding new ways to monetize their technology. So who knows,
you know, are they an off ramp or an on ramp.
You just don't know. But I feel certain that tech
(13:42):
is going to see a heyday over the next year
and probably quite some time in the future. And I
know you're going to see in tech stocks sitting as
I said, some tech stocks are going to be are
going to inflate, and they shouldn't because they're not They're
not positioned, uh to win. And some are going to
come from you know, fourteenth place to dominate their industry.
(14:05):
We've certainly seen that. It wasn't widely reported on them,
but about three weeks ago, Google Meta which is Facebook
and Alphabet sorry Alphabet which is Google Meta which is
Facebook and Microsoft laid off something like five hundred employees each.
(14:25):
It was a massive number, a massive number of people,
and it wasn't due to and economic downturn. It wasn't
due to financial troubles. It was due to a pivot,
a course correction in the business that they are in.
They are all now moving into AI directed industry and
(14:51):
away from their traditional core industry. I mean Google is
Google is in danger. You know the idea of going
to the idea of googling things. I mean they had
almost a monopoly. Uh Duck duck go had you know
(15:11):
their Their their selling position was, uh, we don't we
don't harvest your information and sell it. But Google dominated
that industry. I had dinner, Uh, my wife and I
had dinner, I guess last Sunday night with a friend
(15:31):
and his wife. And he pulled out his phone and
went to chat GPT and and he's I don't know
how he's sixty five years old. My post sixty friends
that are using AI just to search, just to search,
that's a minimal use. Well that's at Google's expense. With
(15:52):
the goodness of real jello pudding. Play Violent Omahall Uneasy
writer by Charlie Daniels channeling his inter Ray Stevens. You
know that era of concept novelty songs, the street A
(16:13):
have the Arab Mississippi Squirrel Revival. It's me again, Margaret
Shriner's convention guitar zan.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
We got one.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
We got to play it. We don't know how to
do it today. But Bubba changed his name.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Remember that.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
We were just listening to that the other day. That
was a great time in my opinion. Well that's all I.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Have, is my opinion.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
That was a great time in American music because they're
not trying to over sing anything. It's just a good
fun story. Let's go to is it there? It's written
O R L A N on the screen. Lord knows
his name is probably George. If that sounds anything like
your name?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
What is your name?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Because I mean I have to start every conversation stumbling
into this thing.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
O R L I N.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
No, he got it closer than I would have.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Orland, yes, sir, Yeah, yep, yeah. I was named after
my dad, who is named after old uncle Orland, who
the whole family says it was a very nice man.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It says it is. It's a name with both German
and Bulgarian roots, meaning renowned in the land. It can
also be seen in Slavic languages with meanings like derived
from ornament or noble, and the US name Orland is
ranked nine ninetieth overall and four two hundred and seventy
(17:48):
seventh for boys. I wouldn't have guessed it was that Hall,
But okay, you're the first Orland I've ever met.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Well, the family originally came from northern England. You're the
border of Scotland, so I always I always kind of
thought it might be pronounced Arlin, you know, Arland.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, that would make more sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
that would make more sense. Interesting.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yeah, yeah, they said the family said three brothers migrated
over here to get away from the fighting the border.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
But yeah, what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Oran?
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Well, I was. I was listening to what you were saying,
and I almost forgot what every You pick up on
subjects and just go with them, and it's such food
for thought that the last the last segment really sway
to me. But I was, I was hearing bits and
(18:48):
pieces of of your rendition of why what the rift
is all about? Between Trump and and Musk, and uh,
that made more sense than anything else I've been hearing.
Of course, I've been hearing all the theories that they're
doing this to sway the attention of the left somewhere
(19:10):
else while they're doing something else, and and and you
know that they're working for the actually another one, they're
working actually for the Democrats, And I, I don't know,
I really enjoyed hearing your rendition of it because that
made more sense than anything else.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Well, I want to be careful. I don't know for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I know.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
What I do know is that in the times in
which we live, you can't trust everything that is exactly
the way it is reported and it appears. But by
the same token, some things are close to what they
So it's it's a That's why I don't usually offer
opinions in real time, because we don't know this thing
(19:54):
will develop. He's gonna he's gonna be friends with Elangin.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It was where I said dog Cloudy and there it's
with the three mole by slide everywhere.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I gotta get down.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Land in the Western oil can under my ncal living chair.
It's a little Friday nor till my day, dude.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
So I have been in Pune Beach for the last
three days. I love you guys so much.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I mean that.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I genuinely mean that. My wife and kids have come
to learn it when I say that I'm gonna go.
But hey, look, I'm not gonna be the only one
taking George out or.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You do that too.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I do.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
When I'm away a couple of days. It really makes
me appreciate how wonderful people are. But I get the
number one email I get if someone figures out I'm
not in studio. And by the way, Ramon wants credit,
he was in studio. Jim was on duty, Chad's on duty,
everybody else is in studio. I was in Palm Beach. Okay, look,
(21:29):
it's not like I was on vacation. I was actually working.
But the number one email I get, which amuses me,
is hey, I can tell you're not in studio. Are
you okay? Are you having a medical emergency? And I
sort of imagined myself laid out there August first, twenty sixteen,
(21:51):
having had a stroke. Doctors are coming everywhere. They're putting
clockbusters through me. I must look like death. That got
me on oxygen. My poor wife, who never cries. I
think I might have seen that. I think our tear
duct was was maybe just flexing a little like I might.
You know, I might need to do something here, but
(22:12):
we're not going to get crazy, not dead yet. I
just imagine, you know, I'm laying there and reading an
email and someone hey.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Well right now anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But I have to remember, as funny as that is,
how awesome is it that people give a damn right?
I mean, it's funny to me, like, well, you do
understand if I'm dying or have died. My wife's not
you know, Emily's not going to be responding. Hey, bad news.
He died this morning. We'll probably announce it this afternoon.
But it means you care, and I want you to
(22:46):
know how much I appreciate that. I really do it.
I make a lot of jokes and maybe people don't
realize that I joke with people I really really like.
But ask the callers to hold just a moment. We're
going to talk to some off air, try to get
some more into this segment. It was a wonderful event.
It was for Premiere and if you know, I don't
(23:08):
want to go too deep into the weeds. But so
our show in Houston is our show in Houston, and
then our evening show is syndicated by Premiere. We were
self syndicated up until August, sorry, October seventh. It was
supposed to start January first. When it started October seventh,
and I resigned with the company for five more years.
(23:30):
And I'll tell you I resigned with Eddie Martini. That's
the reason I resigned. I was looking very hard and
expected to have moved in a different direction. You probably
heard me say that on the air. For two years,
I didn't think that I would be coming to you
on this station in this manner, in this way. I
thought would still if you wanted to listen to me,
there would have been an alternate means by which you
(23:52):
wouldn't have been able to hear me. But I did
not believe it would be with this company. And it
is because of Eddie Martini than I am, because I
love the guy. He has been a mentor, a friend,
my biggest advocate, I mean my biggest advocate. And I
also have a very close relationship and I consider a
friendship with our CEO and chairman Bob Pittman, who is
(24:15):
the founder of MTV at twenty seven. He's a guy
I respect his career, and he loves the talent. He
views this company as a talent company, not an advertising company,
not a marketing company, not a He views it as
a talent company, and he rewards the talent. And yeah,
(24:38):
so I'm here for five years and I'm excited by that.
I think we will expand our podcast audience. But at
the end of the day, say what folks may about
terrestrial radio which if you're listening in your car, your truck,
or on a radio with an antenna, that is terrestrial radio.
That is no longer the vast majority of our listening audience,
(25:00):
but it's still a large chunk of our audience. And
I still love old fashioned terrestrial radio and always will.
Now I don't know if it'll be around in ten
maybe five years, maybe it won't maybe, but content will
be and AI will not replace content the connection we have.
And I tell people we were in Palm Beach. Sean
(25:23):
Hannity was there. It was a small group, but it
was me, Sean Clay and Buck Jesse, Kelly, Carol Markowitz,
Lisa Booth and I think that was it. And did
I say Glenn Back and Glenn and then some of
the top show sponsors or sponsors for Premiere and you
(25:47):
know the legacy of Rush Lingers, especially because Rush lived
about half mile away. It was at the Breakers in
Palm Beach, and you know everything they did that event
with Rush, and everyone came in to see Rush in
Palm Beach because he was Rush, and and you know,
(26:12):
what what a what a titan, what a what a
so our entire team that sells my show that I
deal with and all that at Premiere are the folks
that sold Russia's show. So you know, you don't want
to be grasshopper just asking questions of the senior the
senior folks, but you do have to work in uh
oh yeah. Really well that that you're rushed, it was curious.
(26:34):
I mean, I don't care this rush, but you got
to ask the details about things like that. The founder
of LifeLock, you remember the guy who gave out his
Social Security number. That was the gimmick that got him started,
and they grew to be they sold at two point
three billion dollars to Norton, first Samantech, then Norton. It
(26:57):
was Todd Davis. Spent a lot of time with him,
and he talked about remember the Sandra Fluke case. When
Rush said something about Sandra Fluke that maybe a lot
of people thought but they didn't. The word upset them
and there was media matters went after him and the
first and show sponsors started going away, and the first
(27:20):
company to announce they were staying with him was Todd
Davis at LifeLock, and he said he's built our company
and that caused some other folks to stay and there
were folks who dumped Rush, and he wouldn't let them back.
If you dump me, then you'll dump me again. Anyway,
I would share some things about that, about that experience.
I do appreciate all of you who sent nice messages.
(27:42):
I really really do. We take pride that we were
on the air probably more than any show in America.
That's not a brag, that's a fact. Our team focuses
on bringing you the best show we can every day,
as many days of the year as we possibly can.
When I'm traveling, friends of mine will say I'm on vacation,
not on vacation. I'm doing my show from the road,
and most of the time you don't know it, and
(28:04):
we take great pride in that. Anyway, I just wanted
to share that, and I will share more of that
this coming week. For those of you who have emailed
about the Palm Beach trip that we're doing in October,
I did manage on the company's dime to check out
our hotel to confirm our mar A Lago event is on.
We even got a few rooms at mar Alago were
(28:27):
don't have to do those by auction because our group
is too big to be all mar A Lago, but
there will be a few folks that will stay there.
I did finalize the cigar lounge where the fellows will
meet at some point. I did finalize some of the restaurants,
doing a little taste tests while I was there, So
it was a very productive trip, may I say, and
(28:49):
for those of you who have emailed for information, if
you've not heard back or a response to your affirmation
you will just please be patient and you can email
at Michael Barryshow dot com. I appreciate and love you guys.
Thank you.
It's that time, time, time, time, lucking load. The Michael
Very Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Why gosh we hadn't made.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Those On this the eighty first anniversary of D Day.
I am reminded of the speech Dwight David Eisenhower delivered
(01:48):
when he said, well, before I say what he said,
it is good to remember that Robert E. Lee, after World,
after the Civil War, came the chancellor of Washington and
Lee University, and when addressing the student body, he would say,
the eyes of the South are upon you. And the
(02:13):
theater director at the University of Texas would tell the students,
or maybe it was a chaplain, the eyes of Texas
are upon You, from which the Minstrel Show was made
as a joke to make fun of the guy using
his line the eyes of Texas are upon You, which
has become the song for the University of Texas and
(02:36):
for many people, for the entire state of Texas, not Aggie's,
but for many others. The concept that the eyes of
God are upon you, the eyes of the South, they
are upon you, the Texas are upon you. And Dwight
David Eisenhower told the troops the eyes of the world
are upon you, and they were and they have been.
(02:59):
I mean, I don't know that there is a more
talked about battle in all of history. It's up there, right,
I mean, well, macho Manenhgan was big. You know what,
You're right, that's a very good point. Ramon Victor, you're
old Michael Berry show. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
From More. That's good to talk to you. I just
wanted to check my understanding versus your understanding of the
reconciliation package that's before Congress right now. It's my understanding
that reconciliation can only be accomplished to non discretionary funds
(03:42):
or non discretionary budgets, and so I feel like that
from what I've learned, or hopefully what I've learned, is
if it's correct that you know, this is only part
of the coming up cuts and you know, reforms and
(04:03):
basically clearness swamp. But you know as well as I do.
You pump a swamp out, next day it's filled back out.
You got to keep pumping. So I just you know,
I want people to settle down. Everybody today wants immediate
gratification of No. I want what I want, and I
(04:23):
want it now. And course with social media and everything
else going on, it's he said this, and they said that.
And you know, of course, congressmen, they are loyal to
or supposedly loyal to their constituency and here again that
may be part of the problem. But anyway, I'll shut
(04:45):
up and give you a chance to talk because I
value your opinion.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, I appreciate that, Victor, And it's a very interesting perspective.
I love to get the various voices, ages, backgrounds, perspective,
see how people see things. Well, the only thing I
will add to that is this, since the House passed
(05:09):
the Big Beautiful bill, if you look, if you watch
Fox News, which Fox and Newsmax are the base of
Republican Party primary voters. If you watch those two you
will notice that with a Republican president, Republican majority in
(05:33):
the House, in the Senate, and a Republican majority in
the House, nobody's talking about the bill upon passage, which
happened I think at seven o'clock in the morning on
a Thursday. I know because I was in DC and
I was having breakfast, and it's everyone was coming in
and we were watching, and I didn't know if it
(05:53):
was going to happen before I went on the air.
By the time I went on the air, it was
just happening anyway. Long story, short, short er, because it's
not short. If this bill delivered on the promises made
(06:15):
by the Republican elected officials to the base, if it
delivered on those things, you would get a constant reminder,
a championing parades that did not happen. In fact, they
(06:36):
invoked a strategy immediately to turn the focus back on
Joe Biden's decline. It's the biggest scandal in the last
hundred years, biggest scandal in American history. If this had
been a grand win by when I don't mean passage,
(07:00):
the win for Trump was getting it passed, no doubt
about that. The win for Trump was getting it passed.
The win is not accomplishing what the base wanted.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
What has.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Republican elected officials, what has their next snapping is how
can this thing pass? And the base not criticized Trump.
That is the level that they called Ronald Reagan the
teflon president. Whatever you threw it him didn't It just
(07:38):
didn't stick. That was the point. Reagan. Reagan was an
iron skillet compared to this. The Trump base does not
leave him, period, end of story. There is literally you
go back to that first year where they claimed he said,
and he said something close to this, that he could
(08:00):
murder somebody on Fifth Avenue at noon and he wouldn't
lose his supporters. I made much of that at the
time because I didn't feel that there was a sense
of accountability. But I'll leave that there. You've got Cornpop
(08:24):
was a bad dude the Michael Berry Show. Dang, the
stock market is so volatile, and particularly these days, such
an interesting time that the Trump tariffs, the anti Trump
insiders who were constantly trying to drive the stock market down,
(08:46):
the exuberance of the everyday American. I mean I'm not
saying it's the folks who who took Robin Hood, who
took Game Stop to historic highs and stuck it to Akermany,
(09:07):
and the folks with Robinhood. But somewhere in between is
a lot of small business owners making stock trades and
kind of counterbalancing all the tariff fears and driving the
stock market back up. The market has regained all of
(09:27):
the losses since Trump was elected. Yesterday. During the course
of this spat, Tesla shares or the Tesla market value dropped.
Prepare for this remark, one hundred and fifty two point
(09:48):
four billion dollars in one day.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
That is.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
It's staggering. It is truly staggering what that means. So
during the break, I thought, let me go check Tesla stock.
It's up five point one five percent today, so it
is up to.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It was just over three hundred as I started that sentence,
ninety nine two hundred nine nine dollars and thirty seven
cents to share right now, But that's up fourteen sixty
seven for the day gross, and it's up five point
one five percent. I need to look at the number,
but I think that brings it back to where it
was may even be higher than where it was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So again, this is why I tell people it's dangerous
to watch stocks respond to headlines because they are very irrational,
extremely irrational. I will track a stock when a headline
pops and it usually takes a no depending on what
(11:00):
the news story is, but it'll take a nose dive
immediately because people are conflict averse and risk averse. It's
why so few people will stand up and speak out,
because they're so afraid of being criticized. People are driven
much more by fear than they are optimism, hopefulness. If
(11:23):
you look at most advertising, it is based on fear.
The Orcan man wanted you to buy their termite treatment
because a termite larger than your living room is going
to swallow the whole family. You ever seen a termite.
They're not that frightening now. They will do some damage
long term, but the point is you don't need to
(11:45):
fear the termite. You just need to maintain your home.
So the fear yesterday over, Oh my god, Trump's going
to close down all of Elon's companies, including Tesla. Will know, no,
he's not. People still don't get Trump. We're nine years
into the modern incarnation of Trump. He's been around since
(12:08):
I mean really since the eighties, arguably since the seventies,
been on the public scene in a big way nationally
since the eighties, in movies on SNL. People Still you
have to reach a point where you don't take anything,
he says, literally, because if you do, you're going to
go crazy. And if you're investing based on that, good grief,
(12:32):
how many people are getting chewed up and spat out
over this volatility in just Tesla shares alone, It's amazing,
It is absolutely amazing. I have gone very heavy into
tech this year because I'm convinced that this is the
heyday of tech. And the question isn't whether you're going
(12:57):
to see a heyday for tech, question is that are
you going to get it right? I think cybersecurity is
going to be huge. Who's gonna who's gonna win? And
there are going to be some people that are going
to raise a lot of cash and they're going to
flame out, and then there are gonna be something they're
going to hit. In Vidia is so high already, is
(13:20):
Nvidia going to go even higher? Or is it going
to fall off the side of a cliff? Well, their
last earnings report last week was phenomenal, and they are
finding new ways to monetize their technology. So who knows,
you know, are they an off ramp or an on ramp.
You just don't know. But I feel certain that tech
(13:42):
is going to see a heyday over the next year
and probably quite some time in the future. And I
know you're going to see in tech stocks sitting as
I said, some tech stocks are going to be are
going to inflate, and they shouldn't because they're not They're
not positioned, uh to win. And some are going to
come from you know, fourteenth place to dominate their industry.
(14:05):
We've certainly seen that. It wasn't widely reported on them,
but about three weeks ago, Google Meta which is Facebook
and Alphabet sorry Alphabet which is Google Meta which is
Facebook and Microsoft laid off something like five hundred employees each.
(14:25):
It was a massive number, a massive number of people,
and it wasn't due to and economic downturn. It wasn't
due to financial troubles. It was due to a pivot,
a course correction in the business that they are in.
They are all now moving into AI directed industry and
(14:51):
away from their traditional core industry. I mean Google is
Google is in danger. You know the idea of going
to the idea of googling things. I mean they had
almost a monopoly. Uh Duck duck go had you know
(15:11):
their Their their selling position was, uh, we don't we
don't harvest your information and sell it. But Google dominated
that industry. I had dinner, Uh, my wife and I
had dinner, I guess last Sunday night with a friend
(15:31):
and his wife. And he pulled out his phone and
went to chat GPT and and he's I don't know
how he's sixty five years old. My post sixty friends
that are using AI just to search, just to search,
that's a minimal use. Well that's at Google's expense. With
(15:52):
the goodness of real jello pudding. Play Violent Omahall Uneasy
writer by Charlie Daniels channeling his inter Ray Stevens. You
know that era of concept novelty songs, the street A
(16:13):
have the Arab Mississippi Squirrel Revival. It's me again, Margaret
Shriner's convention guitar zan.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
We got one.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
We got to play it. We don't know how to
do it today. But Bubba changed his name.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Remember that.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
We were just listening to that the other day. That
was a great time in my opinion. Well that's all I.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Have, is my opinion.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
That was a great time in American music because they're
not trying to over sing anything. It's just a good
fun story. Let's go to is it there? It's written
O R L A N on the screen. Lord knows
his name is probably George. If that sounds anything like
your name?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
What is your name?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Because I mean I have to start every conversation stumbling
into this thing.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
O R L I N.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
No, he got it closer than I would have.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Orland, yes, sir, Yeah, yep, yeah. I was named after
my dad, who is named after old uncle Orland, who
the whole family says it was a very nice man.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It says it is. It's a name with both German
and Bulgarian roots, meaning renowned in the land. It can
also be seen in Slavic languages with meanings like derived
from ornament or noble, and the US name Orland is
ranked nine ninetieth overall and four two hundred and seventy
(17:48):
seventh for boys. I wouldn't have guessed it was that Hall,
But okay, you're the first Orland I've ever met.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Well, the family originally came from northern England. You're the
border of Scotland, so I always I always kind of
thought it might be pronounced Arlin, you know, Arland.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, that would make more sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
that would make more sense. Interesting.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Yeah, yeah, they said the family said three brothers migrated
over here to get away from the fighting the border.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
But yeah, what's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Oran?
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Well, I was. I was listening to what you were saying,
and I almost forgot what every You pick up on
subjects and just go with them, and it's such food
for thought that the last the last segment really sway
to me. But I was, I was hearing bits and
(18:48):
pieces of of your rendition of why what the rift
is all about? Between Trump and and Musk, and uh,
that made more sense than anything else I've been hearing.
Of course, I've been hearing all the theories that they're
doing this to sway the attention of the left somewhere
(19:10):
else while they're doing something else, and and and you
know that they're working for the actually another one, they're
working actually for the Democrats, And I, I don't know,
I really enjoyed hearing your rendition of it because that
made more sense than anything else.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Well, I want to be careful. I don't know for sure.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I know.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
What I do know is that in the times in
which we live, you can't trust everything that is exactly
the way it is reported and it appears. But by
the same token, some things are close to what they
So it's it's a That's why I don't usually offer
opinions in real time, because we don't know this thing
(19:54):
will develop. He's gonna he's gonna be friends with Elangin.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It was where I said dog Cloudy and there it's
with the three mole by slide everywhere.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I gotta get down.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Land in the Western oil can under my ncal living chair.
It's a little Friday nor till my day, dude.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
So I have been in Pune Beach for the last
three days. I love you guys so much.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I mean that.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I genuinely mean that. My wife and kids have come
to learn it when I say that I'm gonna go.
But hey, look, I'm not gonna be the only one
taking George out or.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You do that too.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I do.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
When I'm away a couple of days. It really makes
me appreciate how wonderful people are. But I get the
number one email I get if someone figures out I'm
not in studio. And by the way, Ramon wants credit,
he was in studio. Jim was on duty, Chad's on duty,
everybody else is in studio. I was in Palm Beach. Okay, look,
(21:29):
it's not like I was on vacation. I was actually working.
But the number one email I get, which amuses me,
is hey, I can tell you're not in studio. Are
you okay? Are you having a medical emergency? And I
sort of imagined myself laid out there August first, twenty sixteen,
(21:51):
having had a stroke. Doctors are coming everywhere. They're putting
clockbusters through me. I must look like death. That got
me on oxygen. My poor wife, who never cries. I
think I might have seen that. I think our tear
duct was was maybe just flexing a little like I might.
You know, I might need to do something here, but
(22:12):
we're not going to get crazy, not dead yet. I
just imagine, you know, I'm laying there and reading an
email and someone hey.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Well right now anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But I have to remember, as funny as that is,
how awesome is it that people give a damn right?
I mean, it's funny to me, like, well, you do
understand if I'm dying or have died. My wife's not
you know, Emily's not going to be responding. Hey, bad news.
He died this morning. We'll probably announce it this afternoon.
But it means you care, and I want you to
(22:46):
know how much I appreciate that. I really do it.
I make a lot of jokes and maybe people don't
realize that I joke with people I really really like.
But ask the callers to hold just a moment. We're
going to talk to some off air, try to get
some more into this segment. It was a wonderful event.
It was for Premiere and if you know, I don't
(23:08):
want to go too deep into the weeds. But so
our show in Houston is our show in Houston, and
then our evening show is syndicated by Premiere. We were
self syndicated up until August, sorry, October seventh. It was
supposed to start January first. When it started October seventh,
and I resigned with the company for five more years.
(23:30):
And I'll tell you I resigned with Eddie Martini. That's
the reason I resigned. I was looking very hard and
expected to have moved in a different direction. You probably
heard me say that on the air. For two years,
I didn't think that I would be coming to you
on this station in this manner, in this way. I
thought would still if you wanted to listen to me,
there would have been an alternate means by which you
(23:52):
wouldn't have been able to hear me. But I did
not believe it would be with this company. And it
is because of Eddie Martini than I am, because I
love the guy. He has been a mentor, a friend,
my biggest advocate, I mean my biggest advocate. And I
also have a very close relationship and I consider a
friendship with our CEO and chairman Bob Pittman, who is
(24:15):
the founder of MTV at twenty seven. He's a guy
I respect his career, and he loves the talent. He
views this company as a talent company, not an advertising company,
not a marketing company, not a He views it as
a talent company, and he rewards the talent. And yeah,
(24:38):
so I'm here for five years and I'm excited by that.
I think we will expand our podcast audience. But at
the end of the day, say what folks may about
terrestrial radio which if you're listening in your car, your truck,
or on a radio with an antenna, that is terrestrial radio.
That is no longer the vast majority of our listening audience,
(25:00):
but it's still a large chunk of our audience. And
I still love old fashioned terrestrial radio and always will.
Now I don't know if it'll be around in ten
maybe five years, maybe it won't maybe, but content will
be and AI will not replace content the connection we have.
And I tell people we were in Palm Beach. Sean
(25:23):
Hannity was there. It was a small group, but it
was me, Sean Clay and Buck Jesse, Kelly, Carol Markowitz,
Lisa Booth and I think that was it. And did
I say Glenn Back and Glenn and then some of
the top show sponsors or sponsors for Premiere and you
(25:47):
know the legacy of Rush Lingers, especially because Rush lived
about half mile away. It was at the Breakers in
Palm Beach, and you know everything they did that event
with Rush, and everyone came in to see Rush in
Palm Beach because he was Rush, and and you know,
(26:12):
what what a what a titan, what a what a
so our entire team that sells my show that I
deal with and all that at Premiere are the folks
that sold Russia's show. So you know, you don't want
to be grasshopper just asking questions of the senior the
senior folks, but you do have to work in uh
oh yeah. Really well that that you're rushed, it was curious.
(26:34):
I mean, I don't care this rush, but you got
to ask the details about things like that. The founder
of LifeLock, you remember the guy who gave out his
Social Security number. That was the gimmick that got him started,
and they grew to be they sold at two point
three billion dollars to Norton, first Samantech, then Norton. It
(26:57):
was Todd Davis. Spent a lot of time with him,
and he talked about remember the Sandra Fluke case. When
Rush said something about Sandra Fluke that maybe a lot
of people thought but they didn't. The word upset them
and there was media matters went after him and the
first and show sponsors started going away, and the first
(27:20):
company to announce they were staying with him was Todd
Davis at LifeLock, and he said he's built our company
and that caused some other folks to stay and there
were folks who dumped Rush, and he wouldn't let them back.
If you dump me, then you'll dump me again. Anyway,
I would share some things about that, about that experience.
I do appreciate all of you who sent nice messages.
(27:42):
I really really do. We take pride that we were
on the air probably more than any show in America.
That's not a brag, that's a fact. Our team focuses
on bringing you the best show we can every day,
as many days of the year as we possibly can.
When I'm traveling, friends of mine will say I'm on vacation,
not on vacation. I'm doing my show from the road,
and most of the time you don't know it, and
(28:04):
we take great pride in that. Anyway, I just wanted
to share that, and I will share more of that
this coming week. For those of you who have emailed
about the Palm Beach trip that we're doing in October,
I did manage on the company's dime to check out
our hotel to confirm our mar A Lago event is on.
We even got a few rooms at mar Alago were
(28:27):
don't have to do those by auction because our group
is too big to be all mar A Lago, but
there will be a few folks that will stay there.
I did finalize the cigar lounge where the fellows will
meet at some point. I did finalize some of the restaurants,
doing a little taste tests while I was there, So
it was a very productive trip, may I say, and
(28:49):
for those of you who have emailed for information, if
you've not heard back or a response to your affirmation
you will just please be patient and you can email
at Michael Barryshow dot com. I appreciate and love you guys.
Thank you.
