Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yes, Jesus Christ is alive. He rose from the dead.
And that day, that Easter Sunday morning, that first Easter,
when Mary and Mary Magdalene and Saloon went to the
grave expecting to annoy a dead body, they saw the
angel sitting there and they said, where is Jesus. The
(00:37):
angel said, he is not here. He has risen. I
submit to you tonight that that's the greatest news the
world has ever heard.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
We will restore America's promise. We will put America.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
First, and we will take back the nation that we
all love.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We bleed the.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Same blood, we share the same home, and.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
We salute the same great American flag.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We are one people, one.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Family, and one glorious nation under God.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
And as we gather with family and friends, will not
forget the true source of our joy and our strength.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
America has put our trust in God.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
It will always be in God.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
We trust.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
We will never change that.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You say, reverer, Here's these words of mine and acts
(02:30):
on them. May be compared to a wise man, a
wise person who built his house on rock, and the
rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew
and slammed against the house, and yet does not fail.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
For it had been founded on the rock.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Jesus says, everyone who hears these words of Mine and
does not act on them, they just hear, will be
like a food a foolish man, a foolish person who
built his house on sand, and the rain fell, and
the floods came to the ones blue and slammed against
the house. The same thing happened to the family on
(03:15):
the sand, his family.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
On the rock.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
But look at the difference, and it fell, And great
was the fall of that family that was built on
the sand.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Guy, he.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Didn't look.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
Saty to God.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
To A twenty two year old Minnesota man posed as
(04:32):
a high school student to enroll in the high school
so that he could play football and probably slay some checks.
Let's be honest, he wasn't doing too well in college.
He's old enough to graduate college, and he's going back
to high school illegally. The story from WCCO TV, Minnesota.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
From the outside, it looked like any other at White
Bear Area High School, but inside outrage we ask students,
we do not want these types of people around us.
In a letter to families, the principal confirms an individual
over the age of twenty one use fraudulent documents and
false identity to enroll as a student, adding the individual
(05:18):
in question is currently in police custody and is not
allowed on any district property. Still, for parents, that doesn't
make things any easier.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
I'm scared that they're not keeping our kids safe. I
don't understand how this man got into my kid's school.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
April Jorgensen, a mother to three students, broke down in tears,
overwhelmed that this individual slipped through the cracks.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
You need to have a record, and you need to
have a physical to do these activities. We just can't
figure out how this happened.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
The district failed.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
US students are even more rattled the people who were
overseeing this issue and let this slip past. They need
to face the consequences. State law allows students to attend
public school until twenty one if they enroll before turning
twenty one. State Representative Elliott Engen says his brother attends
the school. He's calling for tougher laws and demanding the
(06:08):
superintendent steps down.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
There's a system white breakdown. I'd like to see him
resign immediately. I'm and issue out in apology.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
Because now the district did not answer our questions about
the enrollment process and oversight protocols. The White Bear Lake
Police chief tells WCCO they are investigating, but have not
made any arrest, and this same person is also in
custody for an unrelated charge tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I don't know if he had any glory days when
he was in school or not where he's trying to
find him. So now maybe he really really loved NFL
films and in his mind The Autumn Wind was written
about him.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
The Autumn Wind is a pirate blustering in from c
with a rollicking song. He sweeps along, waggering boisterously. His
face is weather beaten because he's twenty two. He wears
a hooded sash with a red hat about his head
(07:11):
and a bristling black mustache. He growls as he storms
back to high school. A villain big and bold, and
the trees all shake and quiver and quake as he
robs them of their gold. The Autumn Wind is a
twenty two year old impersonating a high school student pillage
(07:32):
in just for fun, He'll knock you around an upside
down because he's a man playing with boys and laugh
when he's conquered in won.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know, we were talking about what your wife puts
in your lunch box on the way, and Bobby writes,
that reminds me of Sam the sheep Dog on Looney Tunes,
and there was his wife had sent him a bone
sandwich for lunch that day. Do you remember Sam the
sheep Dog. I don't remember him, Danny Wrights Zar We've retired,
(08:09):
so there's no brown bag for lunch. But after we
wake up in the morning, my wife will bring me
coffee while I'm sitting up in bed. Hey, I'd consider
that a winner.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Little kid.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You all admired dude, Champion marble shoot, the fastest runner,
big league ballplayers.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
There, Tuckers, boxer, the Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Americans love a winner.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And did you just play Silit Lindo by Freddie Fender?
Oh man, that that could break the airwaves. I can
see the ghost of Marconi coming the ward. Don't cross
the swords, don't don't cross the stream. That's too much.
(09:00):
It will turn it up. Then if you don't have
Freddy say yeah, I mean yea. This is usually the
point which some drunk white dude who would never say anything,
but he's had a lot rang on and everyone turns
(09:23):
and like, Okay, that's pretty good, and he's like that's good. Huh,
that's good. He doesn't say anything. He's like, Oh, everybody
likes me. Everybody likes me. I did something good. Thirty
seconds later, No, no, just it really only worked one time, Roger,
just one time was good. It was it was real clever.
He kind of even half ass timed it right, but like,
(09:45):
let's not just keep doing it. It was good for the
for the one time you did real well. So uh,
Lloyd Dogget this sad, pitiful white liberal democrat just holding
on out of Austin. He's been a congressman for a while.
He's tried to be everything else. He says, of the
(10:07):
budget cuts, this is as far as I'm concerned. Life
and death estimates have come out from a number of
well regarded sources. This sounds like something out of Austin powers,
doesn't it? A number of sources say, But really, like
like which one oh a number a number that the
(10:29):
Republican cuts to healthcare will cost fifty one thousand deaths?
Don't don't dum per year as a result of people
not being able to access healthcare. Oh my god, what's
kind of like minimum wage? If you're gonna make a
(10:51):
number up, why just do fifty one thousand? It does
doesn't even shock anybody. How about five hundred thousand? Oh
not sufficient? Do not scared. It's gonna cost one million dollars.
How about with it, it's gonna cost five hundred thousand deaths.
Dun't dum dum no, No, nobody's paying attention to nobody's
(11:16):
retweeted my comments. All right, let's do another interview. Recent
estimates from well regarded sources from a broad variety and
wide array of areas of expertise believe an absolute certainty
five million. Dun't dun people shall die? Still nothing, fifty million.
(11:43):
It's like minimum wage? Why stop at fifteen bucks an hour?
If you're just gonna make up a number When I
do fifty, when I do one hundred, why stop anywhere?
I mean, if we're going to give these people more
dignity by making someone else paying more money, and then
that's someone else charges us more money or goes out
of business if we won't pay them more money, I mean,
(12:04):
if we're forcing one guy to give something to another
guy so we feel better about ourselves. Why not force
him to give a bunch? Why not be the hero
right in on a horse and Hey, I'm the guy
that got you two hundred and fifty dollars an hour
minimum wage. Yeap, just got out of prison. Nobody wants
(12:24):
to hire you two hundred and fifty bucks an hour.
Why not? There's no basis in the math, there's no
basis in the science. And by the way, how do
we still have fifty one thousand people able to die
when they all died from that neutrality? And how did
(12:46):
we have anybody still left to talk about? How many
people died from net neutrality when all the people died
from global warming? Makes you start to wonder, isn't it?
It was eighteen years ago today that al Gore said,
in five years, the polar ice caps will melt unless
(13:08):
you pay me a bunch of money, and you're all
gonna die.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
These are figures that are fresh. I don't know if
they've been I don't know when they were released, but
I just got them yesterday from doctor Vashlov mas Maslowski
at the Naval Postgraduate School. And this is the volumemetric
record of the ice, and some of the models suggest
to doctor Maslowski that seventy One of the.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Things that pathologicals liars do is that they give very
very specific examples because they think it gives them credibility.
Brian Williams used to do that. The other thing they
do is they give names, and they want the name
to be more exided. Doctor Stanislas Pavlokowski Mouski stand, who's
(13:57):
a professor at mit Di Varsity. Size Oh whatever he's
about to say, it's gonna be true for sure.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
ASKI that there is a seventy five percent chance that
the entire North polarized cap during summer, during some of
the summer months could be completely ice free within the
next five to seven years. We will find out.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Dunt, dun, dun. We're gonna find out, and nobody's nobody's listening.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
But but al Gore is the Paul Revere of the
end times, you know, he says, And al Gore would
know because Al Gore is a learned man.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Al Gore says we're all gonna die, and Al wouldn't
lie because Al is a learned man. And I fear
that eighteen years ago, nobody listened to Al Gore. Here
we are did He's super serial.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm here to educate you about the single biggest threat
to our planet. You see, there is something out there
which threatens our very existence and maybe the endto the
human race as we know it. I'm talking, of course,
about Man Bear Pig. It is a creature which roams
(15:30):
the earth alone. It is half man, half bear, and
half pig. Some people say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well,
I'm here to tell you now, Man bear Pig is
very real, and he most certainly exists. I'm sereal. Man
(15:50):
bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what you've done.
Man Bear Pig simply wants to get you. I'm super serial,
but have no fear because I am here to save you.
And someday, when the world is rid of Man Bear Peg,
everyone will say thank you, Al Gore, You're super awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Flap Michael Berry, suh. You know, I get so excited
about knowing things and sharing things this sometimes I forget
that nobody cares. So several years ago, I was at
(16:41):
a bar with some friends and we're all we're over
the table and we'd been to an event. I think
I'd given a speech and I invited some of the
people that were there to come and join us for
drinks afterwards. I know, actually I know exactly where it was,
and that is what happened. And so we had a
table in the corner that just came up growing because
I had said, Hey, I'm going to be over here
(17:02):
if anybody wants to join us, but I'd set it
to a kind of small group, and one person told
one person. The group kept about the time we'd get
settled in and start a conversation, three or four more
people go, hey, can we come and join y'all? Yes. So, anyway,
once everybody's locked in, this guy was talking about, you know,
music that we had played on the air that day,
(17:24):
and he said, y'all played that song. I know it's
not what it's called, but it's like one one ton burrito,
one ton burrito. And everyone laughed and everybody went through
the different versions of what they thought that song was,
and truth be told, they don't know what it is today,
And me, being the nerd not reading the room. Instead
(17:48):
of just laughing and moving on, I said, well, what's
interesting about the song is it comes from a Jose
Marti poem, and people are trying to be patient, but
everybody's got a good buzz going and so there's not
a lot of patients. There's always some guy going on.
It's not tying right up, but they're being polite. And
(18:09):
I said it was by a poem that Jose Marti wrote,
and he was a Cuban nationalist but something of a socialist,
and so both sides of the Cuba debate ended up
quoting his poetry. All right, we're still going along. I
can't remember the guy's name, but there's a guy who
actually put it to put words to verse and arranged it.
(18:29):
And then in the early sixties it was a group
called the Sandpipers. You can see where this is going, right,
There's a group called the Sandpipers that made it famous
in the US, and it's actually famous all over the
world now as a result of their version of Corselia
Cruz did her version, and everybody's kind of being quiet,
and you know, letting me show off my bit of knowledge,
(18:52):
and you know, just so you know what the word means,
because nobody seems to know. And I should have just
stopped for that sentence is it's one then a meta uh,
if you've ever heard of gue tonam obey as we
say it, that g makes a w sound. And so
a person from one Dynamo that is a female because
(19:14):
Spanish has sex, it's actually gender because it's nouns. And
so a person from that town, like an American is
from America, is a one don Ametta. That's a female
from one Tonamo. So the song is one thing Ameda.
It's a tribute to the women of Cuba. And so
(19:36):
now you know it's one then amta pause? Yeah, so
I called it one ton Burrito, and I realized, right then, Michael,
what are you doing? Not the time, not the place,
you little nerd. If my brother Chris had been there,
he would have busted out with the most high pitched laugh,
(19:56):
which is what he did when he wasn't trying to
laugh or and he was trying to hold it back.
He would have busted out with the most high pitched
laugh and rattled off five times in the course of
my life that I had done something like that that
he had witnessed. And mind you, he could have done fifty,
but he just would have been He would have had
to recall to do five right there on the spot,
(20:20):
without even taking a second to think about it anyway.
So so that was that was my uh, that was
my story on that. So last night, I uh, I
called Mac because I hadn't talked to him in a minute,
just check and see how he was doing. And we
talked for a while and you know, how's his health?
(20:41):
How sys his And then afterwards we texted for a
little while and I asked him, is there anything going
on in your life you know of note?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Have you?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Is there some big event have you? Did you meet somebody,
did you fund up scholarship? Did you give a speech
at a place? And he wrote to me that, oh, shoot,
let me see if I can find it. He wrote
to me a quote. Oh here it is from a
(21:15):
book that he's reading. And I thought this was very clever.
He said, I'm reading a book you would like. It's
called sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn. A quote from
the book that made me think of you, Michael quote.
Small differences over time create a big difference. Improvement is
(21:39):
achieved in inches, not in giant leaps. The great football coaches,
I think there is a lot to learn from. It's
why they all end up retiring and going on the
speaking circuit to businessmen always want to hear from them.
But when you listen to how Nick Saban built teams,
(22:01):
motivated teams, not even motivated. He never actually motivated per se.
He built culture, and he was always refining the culture.
He was always inspecting what he expected and everything that
goes into that. And I do think there's a lot
to be said for building a workforce like this. But
(22:23):
one thing I have noticed over a period of time
is that great organizations are made up of great people
more than anything else. And having great people do great
things on a daily basis, consistently, without fail requires constant attention.
And I noticed that a lot of people want greatness
(22:43):
in their organization, but they think that you work real
hard Monday through Friday build greatness and then by Monday
it's there and you don't have to worry, and then
you can go on vacation. And in fact that's not
the case. Russell Lebarr always says we're only as good
as the last mal we served. First time he said that,
I said, okay, what does that mean in practice? A
great great line? He said, somebody comes ninety nine times
(23:05):
in a row and has a great meal with us.
They may not ever go on to yelp and say it.
They may not tell anybody how great it was. But
the one hundredth time their plate comes out ends up
on the on the expedition on the expedior doesn't move it.
The waiter doesn't, the server doesn't, the runner doesn't. And
it's easy to do. You walk into one of their kitchens.
(23:26):
I mean, it's a symphony. There's a lot of moving parts.
And it sits there and sits there for too long,
and then someone sees it, Oh my goodness, mistake, grabs it,
runs it drops it. That person finishes their drink in
the conversation, and then another three minutes go by. Inadvertently,
they put their fork into their refried beans and they're
(23:47):
not cold, but they're not hot, and they're used to
them being hot, and immediately all the sensations, all the foreplay,
this had led up to, We're going to meet at
Gringoes for our meal. Who's gonna join us? What time
are we gonna get there? We're gonna get you know,
she's getting ready, putting her makeup on. They're gonna leave early.
(24:08):
They get there, they check in, they wait a few minutes,
they're called to their table. They get to their table,
they're continuing to make small talk with the other couple.
They're out at dinner with the chips come. They have
a couple of chips, they have a drink. The food comes,
and she's been waiting in her mind there's gonna be
this great pleasant sensation of the refried beans. And the
refried beans don't taste like they're supposed to because they
(24:30):
sat too long along the way, and all of a
sudden her one hundred times she's Gringo's not any good anymore.
And it's like, that's that's what we do. You have
to be great every single time. The Michael Barry Show, the.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Lot black guy, y'all come to get the car. The
car is not here. The car is in the shop
and one part is at another shop. If y'all want
it that bag, y'all can go pay that man to
get it out and then pay the person to get
the other part out. I mean, because y'all, like y'all
couldn't be patient. You knew that we was gonna get
it taken care of. So if y'all want it that bad,
y'all can go get it. You pay the man and
(25:08):
pay the other man and we can leave it as
that because we're not on that much on the car.
Y'all want to trip on it now that we're only
got on a thousand of two thousand on it. So
you know what, God bless y'all, y'all can go pick
up the car. So you know what, give me a callback,
and so I will give you the direction to what
a man is and I will let him know that
y'all gonna be paying him to get it out because
(25:28):
y'all don't be patient. We're not rich like y'all. That's
one thing y'all gonna have to understand. But one day
this year we will be because we have Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Remember Susan Rice, who was the one who told the
lies about Benghazi when the Americans were killed, including a Democrat,
the American ambassador whose body was dragged through the streets
of Benghazi on nine to eleven, And they told us
(26:04):
it had nothing to do with that. It was Christian's
fault for a Christian film having been played in Egypt.
The most ridiculous thing ever. But whatever, Well, guess where
she is now. Among her interests, business interests and professional
undertakings is she is on the board of directors of Netflix.
(26:29):
The people in the Obama Clinton orbit have become so
fabulously wealthy because of the interplay between billionaires and government
and media. It is. It's absolutely staggering. It's absolutely staggering.
(26:57):
Unrelated pivot, move on to the next subject. I say
that because sometimes people struggle to My wife struggles with that.
I'm putting that subject to bed. So what I'm about
to say has nothing to do with it, because she'll say, well,
do was I have to do with Susan Rice? Oh?
We moved on from We're on to a new subject.
Oh okay, when did we start the new subject? Anyway?
(27:20):
Thirty six years and hadn't gotten any better? I mean,
I'm pretty much I'm pretty sure I'm pretty much the
problem here. But it's that's just my life, as you'd
like to know. So I like to dive in. That's
why I liked Mike Rose program so much. Dirty Jobs.
I like to dive in and watch people's lives and
(27:43):
watch the intense moment. Listeners of our program, the thing
we share is your opinion of Nancy Pelosi or Barack
Obama or Donald Trump and what's going on in then.
But what listen don't understand is that your life is
fascinating to me, especially the things you would take for granted, like, well, yeah,
(28:07):
I do that every day. Well it's normal. Yeah, you're
a fighter pilot, you might do it every day, but
it's pretty awesome. Or you get on a plane and
you walk up and down this little tiny aisle with
a bunch of creepers. You get to figure out if
that person's asleep or awake, and when they I mean,
you think about being a stewardess. That's a hard job.
(28:30):
That's a lot harder. People think of it purely from
the passenger perspective. Can you imagine every single person's got
an attitude. Half of them are asleep, so you don't
get to take their order. Then when they're awake because
the food is coming around, they're mad that you didn't
bring their food. People are irrational, man, They're nuts. I've
(28:52):
seen it happen. They're nuts. Now. I can't stand a
rude stewardess as much as the next guy, but my goodness,
so I decided for the month of September I was
going to be all up in Mike Bachis's business for
lone Star Chevy. I'll do this with mac, I'll do
it with different businesses. And so I started, Hey, what's
(29:14):
the goal for the number of vehicles you're going to
sell this month? And he said four forty?
Speaker 9 (29:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
What does that look like? All right, it's going to
be one eight I see, no, two to eighty new
one sixty used. All right, So is there any special
incentive going on? Is it you know you are you
able to do this, this and this because it's you're
trying to get you know, you're trying to move cars
(29:42):
before the new models come in. Is there dead or da?
He said, Man, we're gonna bust. But like we do
every month. The only the one bit, the one bump
we need is a drop in interest rates. When that happens,
the floodgeds will open. We have a lot of people
waiting on the sideline that have been waiting for a while,
(30:04):
and it'd be nice to know either they're not going
to drop, go ahead and buy if you're gonna buy,
or hey, they're going to drop on this day. Because
we're living in limbo about a factor we can't control.
So we're moving alone, moving alone, moving alone, and sales
are plugging along, and so on Saturday, I call him
(30:26):
a couple of times, one late morning, one late afternoon,
one in the evening. And I don't know about you,
but I really enjoy having my weekends off, especially during
football season. Now, my wife and kids would say that
I don't take that time off because I'm on my phone.
I'm making notes. I'm sending ideas to the guys, to Thatt.
(30:47):
We're floating ideas on a parody or an article or
research or a guest all the time. But let's be honest,
this ain't really a job. I mean, I don't want
them to know this, but I do it for free.
I did it for two years for free. I love
doing it. It's it's like, how many folks, if you're
(31:09):
listening right now, you're in a band that you make
lil or nothing in the band, you work a day job.
Kevin Bull, you work your butt on a day job
so you get to go play at night. Or Josh
Fuller or you know fill in the blank, or you
know you host majong, or you know you're in a
bowling league, or you're in a wes Velina polka. You're
(31:30):
in a polka band. You got your day job that
funds the fact that you get to go be a
drummer or get to be in a bike club or
in a classic car club or softball league or whatever else.
I kind of view our job as that I just
don't have a day job. And so anyway, so Saturday,
I'm calling him, you know where we at on sat
All right, what are you doing? And I said, Hey,
(31:53):
should I send some food up there to you guys?
He's like, no, no, no, no food, No food distraction. We
can't be distracted. Okay, well we'll do it another day.
So we're going along. It's late Saturday evening and they're
still there because people buy cars on Saturday. So I
didn't call him on Monday, and then Tuesday was a
big day, and so on Tuesday I think he still
(32:15):
had to sell I don't know thirty or forty vehicles.
But the way these things work is they tend to
backload toward the end of the month, and a lot
of it was the end of the fiscal years. So
some people, you know, they there if it's a company purchase.
On there, they sell box trucks. Also anything Chevy, in fact,
anything Chevy and a bunch of other stuff because they
(32:35):
have used vehicles as well. And we're going along, we're
going along, and so we're getting down to the cutting.
So next morning I texted him and I said, well,
did we make it? And he said yeah, He said,
I had to have two of my salesmen buy vehicles
in the last five minutes in order to get there,
(32:57):
But we did it. And I love what that proves,
which and I'm the same way if I've got a goal.
When if you've got if you're trying to lose forty pounds,
you can avoid the ice cream and the chips and
the beers and the cokes. But if you're just generally
trying to lose weight, you won't do it. When you
set a goal, especially once you start making some progress
for that goal, anything to achieve that goal. It's amazing
(33:19):
successful organization. Successful people are goal orienting. The rest of
the people are just kind of muddling along.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yes, Jesus Christ is alive. He rose from the dead.
And that day, that Easter Sunday morning, that first Easter,
when Mary and Mary Magdalene and Saloon went to the
grave expecting to annoy a dead body, they saw the
angel sitting there and they said, where is Jesus. The
(00:37):
angel said, he is not here. He has risen. I
submit to you tonight that that's the greatest news the
world has ever heard.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
We will restore America's promise. We will put America.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
First, and we will take back the nation that we
all love.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We bleed the.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Same blood, we share the same home, and.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
We salute the same great American flag.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We are one people, one.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Family, and one glorious nation under God.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
And as we gather with family and friends, will not
forget the true source of our joy and our strength.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
America has put our trust in God.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
It will always be in God.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
We trust.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
We will never change that.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You say, reverer, Here's these words of mine and acts
(02:30):
on them. May be compared to a wise man, a
wise person who built his house on rock, and the
rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew
and slammed against the house, and yet does not fail.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
For it had been founded on the rock.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Jesus says, everyone who hears these words of Mine and
does not act on them, they just hear, will be
like a food a foolish man, a foolish person who
built his house on sand, and the rain fell, and
the floods came to the ones blue and slammed against
the house. The same thing happened to the family on
(03:15):
the sand, his family.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
On the rock.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
But look at the difference, and it fell, And great
was the fall of that family that was built on
the sand.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Guy, he.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Didn't look.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
Saty to God.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
To A twenty two year old Minnesota man posed as
(04:32):
a high school student to enroll in the high school
so that he could play football and probably slay some checks.
Let's be honest, he wasn't doing too well in college.
He's old enough to graduate college, and he's going back
to high school illegally. The story from WCCO TV, Minnesota.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
From the outside, it looked like any other at White
Bear Area High School, but inside outrage we ask students,
we do not want these types of people around us.
In a letter to families, the principal confirms an individual
over the age of twenty one use fraudulent documents and
false identity to enroll as a student, adding the individual
(05:18):
in question is currently in police custody and is not
allowed on any district property. Still, for parents, that doesn't
make things any easier.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
I'm scared that they're not keeping our kids safe. I
don't understand how this man got into my kid's school.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
April Jorgensen, a mother to three students, broke down in tears,
overwhelmed that this individual slipped through the cracks.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
You need to have a record, and you need to
have a physical to do these activities. We just can't
figure out how this happened.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
The district failed.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
US students are even more rattled the people who were
overseeing this issue and let this slip past. They need
to face the consequences. State law allows students to attend
public school until twenty one if they enroll before turning
twenty one. State Representative Elliott Engen says his brother attends
the school. He's calling for tougher laws and demanding the
(06:08):
superintendent steps down.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
There's a system white breakdown. I'd like to see him
resign immediately. I'm and issue out in apology.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
Because now the district did not answer our questions about
the enrollment process and oversight protocols. The White Bear Lake
Police chief tells WCCO they are investigating, but have not
made any arrest, and this same person is also in
custody for an unrelated charge tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I don't know if he had any glory days when
he was in school or not where he's trying to
find him. So now maybe he really really loved NFL
films and in his mind The Autumn Wind was written
about him.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
The Autumn Wind is a pirate blustering in from c
with a rollicking song. He sweeps along, waggering boisterously. His
face is weather beaten because he's twenty two. He wears
a hooded sash with a red hat about his head
(07:11):
and a bristling black mustache. He growls as he storms
back to high school. A villain big and bold, and
the trees all shake and quiver and quake as he
robs them of their gold. The Autumn Wind is a
twenty two year old impersonating a high school student pillage
(07:32):
in just for fun, He'll knock you around an upside
down because he's a man playing with boys and laugh
when he's conquered in won.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know, we were talking about what your wife puts
in your lunch box on the way, and Bobby writes,
that reminds me of Sam the sheep Dog on Looney Tunes,
and there was his wife had sent him a bone
sandwich for lunch that day. Do you remember Sam the
sheep Dog. I don't remember him, Danny Wrights Zar We've retired,
(08:09):
so there's no brown bag for lunch. But after we
wake up in the morning, my wife will bring me
coffee while I'm sitting up in bed. Hey, I'd consider
that a winner.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Little kid.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You all admired dude, Champion marble shoot, the fastest runner,
big league ballplayers.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
There, Tuckers, boxer, the Michael Berry.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Americans love a winner.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And did you just play Silit Lindo by Freddie Fender?
Oh man, that that could break the airwaves. I can
see the ghost of Marconi coming the ward. Don't cross
the swords, don't don't cross the stream. That's too much.
(09:00):
It will turn it up. Then if you don't have
Freddy say yeah, I mean yea. This is usually the
point which some drunk white dude who would never say anything,
but he's had a lot rang on and everyone turns
(09:23):
and like, Okay, that's pretty good, and he's like that's good. Huh,
that's good. He doesn't say anything. He's like, Oh, everybody
likes me. Everybody likes me. I did something good. Thirty
seconds later, No, no, just it really only worked one time, Roger,
just one time was good. It was it was real clever.
He kind of even half ass timed it right, but like,
(09:45):
let's not just keep doing it. It was good for the
for the one time you did real well. So uh,
Lloyd Dogget this sad, pitiful white liberal democrat just holding
on out of Austin. He's been a congressman for a while.
He's tried to be everything else. He says, of the
(10:07):
budget cuts, this is as far as I'm concerned. Life
and death estimates have come out from a number of
well regarded sources. This sounds like something out of Austin powers,
doesn't it? A number of sources say, But really, like
like which one oh a number a number that the
(10:29):
Republican cuts to healthcare will cost fifty one thousand deaths?
Don't don't dum per year as a result of people
not being able to access healthcare. Oh my god, what's
kind of like minimum wage? If you're gonna make a
(10:51):
number up, why just do fifty one thousand? It does
doesn't even shock anybody. How about five hundred thousand? Oh
not sufficient? Do not scared. It's gonna cost one million dollars.
How about with it, it's gonna cost five hundred thousand deaths.
Dun't dum dum no, No, nobody's paying attention to nobody's
(11:16):
retweeted my comments. All right, let's do another interview. Recent
estimates from well regarded sources from a broad variety and
wide array of areas of expertise believe an absolute certainty
five million. Dun't dun people shall die? Still nothing, fifty million.
(11:43):
It's like minimum wage? Why stop at fifteen bucks an hour?
If you're just gonna make up a number When I
do fifty, when I do one hundred, why stop anywhere?
I mean, if we're going to give these people more
dignity by making someone else paying more money, and then
that's someone else charges us more money or goes out
of business if we won't pay them more money, I mean,
(12:04):
if we're forcing one guy to give something to another
guy so we feel better about ourselves. Why not force
him to give a bunch? Why not be the hero
right in on a horse and Hey, I'm the guy
that got you two hundred and fifty dollars an hour
minimum wage. Yeap, just got out of prison. Nobody wants
(12:24):
to hire you two hundred and fifty bucks an hour.
Why not? There's no basis in the math, there's no
basis in the science. And by the way, how do
we still have fifty one thousand people able to die
when they all died from that neutrality? And how did
(12:46):
we have anybody still left to talk about? How many
people died from net neutrality when all the people died
from global warming? Makes you start to wonder, isn't it?
It was eighteen years ago today that al Gore said,
in five years, the polar ice caps will melt unless
(13:08):
you pay me a bunch of money, and you're all
gonna die.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
These are figures that are fresh. I don't know if
they've been I don't know when they were released, but
I just got them yesterday from doctor Vashlov mas Maslowski
at the Naval Postgraduate School. And this is the volumemetric
record of the ice, and some of the models suggest
to doctor Maslowski that seventy One of the.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Things that pathologicals liars do is that they give very
very specific examples because they think it gives them credibility.
Brian Williams used to do that. The other thing they
do is they give names, and they want the name
to be more exided. Doctor Stanislas Pavlokowski Mouski stand, who's
(13:57):
a professor at mit Di Varsity. Size Oh whatever he's
about to say, it's gonna be true for sure.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
ASKI that there is a seventy five percent chance that
the entire North polarized cap during summer, during some of
the summer months could be completely ice free within the
next five to seven years. We will find out.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Dunt, dun, dun. We're gonna find out, and nobody's nobody's listening.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
But but al Gore is the Paul Revere of the
end times, you know, he says, And al Gore would
know because Al Gore is a learned man.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Al Gore says we're all gonna die, and Al wouldn't
lie because Al is a learned man. And I fear
that eighteen years ago, nobody listened to Al Gore. Here
we are did He's super serial.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm here to educate you about the single biggest threat
to our planet. You see, there is something out there
which threatens our very existence and maybe the endto the
human race as we know it. I'm talking, of course,
about Man Bear Pig. It is a creature which roams
(15:30):
the earth alone. It is half man, half bear, and
half pig. Some people say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well,
I'm here to tell you now, Man bear Pig is
very real, and he most certainly exists. I'm sereal. Man
(15:50):
bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what you've done.
Man Bear Pig simply wants to get you. I'm super serial,
but have no fear because I am here to save you.
And someday, when the world is rid of Man Bear Peg,
everyone will say thank you, Al Gore, You're super awesome.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Flap Michael Berry, suh. You know, I get so excited
about knowing things and sharing things this sometimes I forget
that nobody cares. So several years ago, I was at
(16:41):
a bar with some friends and we're all we're over
the table and we'd been to an event. I think
I'd given a speech and I invited some of the
people that were there to come and join us for
drinks afterwards. I know, actually I know exactly where it was,
and that is what happened. And so we had a
table in the corner that just came up growing because
I had said, Hey, I'm going to be over here
(17:02):
if anybody wants to join us, but I'd set it
to a kind of small group, and one person told
one person. The group kept about the time we'd get
settled in and start a conversation, three or four more
people go, hey, can we come and join y'all? Yes. So, anyway,
once everybody's locked in, this guy was talking about, you know,
music that we had played on the air that day,
(17:24):
and he said, y'all played that song. I know it's
not what it's called, but it's like one one ton burrito,
one ton burrito. And everyone laughed and everybody went through
the different versions of what they thought that song was,
and truth be told, they don't know what it is today,
And me, being the nerd not reading the room. Instead
(17:48):
of just laughing and moving on, I said, well, what's
interesting about the song is it comes from a Jose
Marti poem, and people are trying to be patient, but
everybody's got a good buzz going and so there's not
a lot of patients. There's always some guy going on.
It's not tying right up, but they're being polite. And
(18:09):
I said it was by a poem that Jose Marti wrote,
and he was a Cuban nationalist but something of a socialist,
and so both sides of the Cuba debate ended up
quoting his poetry. All right, we're still going along. I
can't remember the guy's name, but there's a guy who
actually put it to put words to verse and arranged it.
(18:29):
And then in the early sixties it was a group
called the Sandpipers. You can see where this is going, right,
There's a group called the Sandpipers that made it famous
in the US, and it's actually famous all over the
world now as a result of their version of Corselia
Cruz did her version, and everybody's kind of being quiet,
and you know, letting me show off my bit of knowledge,
(18:52):
and you know, just so you know what the word means,
because nobody seems to know. And I should have just
stopped for that sentence is it's one then a meta uh,
if you've ever heard of gue tonam obey as we
say it, that g makes a w sound. And so
a person from one Dynamo that is a female because
(19:14):
Spanish has sex, it's actually gender because it's nouns. And
so a person from that town, like an American is
from America, is a one don Ametta. That's a female
from one Tonamo. So the song is one thing Ameda.
It's a tribute to the women of Cuba. And so
(19:36):
now you know it's one then amta pause? Yeah, so
I called it one ton Burrito, and I realized, right then, Michael,
what are you doing? Not the time, not the place,
you little nerd. If my brother Chris had been there,
he would have busted out with the most high pitched laugh,
(19:56):
which is what he did when he wasn't trying to
laugh or and he was trying to hold it back.
He would have busted out with the most high pitched
laugh and rattled off five times in the course of
my life that I had done something like that that
he had witnessed. And mind you, he could have done fifty,
but he just would have been He would have had
to recall to do five right there on the spot,
(20:20):
without even taking a second to think about it anyway.
So so that was that was my uh, that was
my story on that. So last night, I uh, I
called Mac because I hadn't talked to him in a minute,
just check and see how he was doing. And we
talked for a while and you know, how's his health?
(20:41):
How sys his And then afterwards we texted for a
little while and I asked him, is there anything going
on in your life you know of note?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Have you?
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Is there some big event have you? Did you meet somebody,
did you fund up scholarship? Did you give a speech
at a place? And he wrote to me that, oh, shoot,
let me see if I can find it. He wrote
to me a quote. Oh here it is from a
(21:15):
book that he's reading. And I thought this was very clever.
He said, I'm reading a book you would like. It's
called sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn. A quote from
the book that made me think of you, Michael quote.
Small differences over time create a big difference. Improvement is
(21:39):
achieved in inches, not in giant leaps. The great football coaches,
I think there is a lot to learn from. It's
why they all end up retiring and going on the
speaking circuit to businessmen always want to hear from them.
But when you listen to how Nick Saban built teams,
(22:01):
motivated teams, not even motivated. He never actually motivated per se.
He built culture, and he was always refining the culture.
He was always inspecting what he expected and everything that
goes into that. And I do think there's a lot
to be said for building a workforce like this. But
(22:23):
one thing I have noticed over a period of time
is that great organizations are made up of great people
more than anything else. And having great people do great
things on a daily basis, consistently, without fail requires constant attention.
And I noticed that a lot of people want greatness
(22:43):
in their organization, but they think that you work real
hard Monday through Friday build greatness and then by Monday
it's there and you don't have to worry, and then
you can go on vacation. And in fact that's not
the case. Russell Lebarr always says we're only as good
as the last mal we served. First time he said that,
I said, okay, what does that mean in practice? A
great great line? He said, somebody comes ninety nine times
(23:05):
in a row and has a great meal with us.
They may not ever go on to yelp and say it.
They may not tell anybody how great it was. But
the one hundredth time their plate comes out ends up
on the on the expedition on the expedior doesn't move it.
The waiter doesn't, the server doesn't, the runner doesn't. And
it's easy to do. You walk into one of their kitchens.
(23:26):
I mean, it's a symphony. There's a lot of moving parts.
And it sits there and sits there for too long,
and then someone sees it, Oh my goodness, mistake, grabs it,
runs it drops it. That person finishes their drink in
the conversation, and then another three minutes go by. Inadvertently,
they put their fork into their refried beans and they're
(23:47):
not cold, but they're not hot, and they're used to
them being hot, and immediately all the sensations, all the foreplay,
this had led up to, We're going to meet at
Gringoes for our meal. Who's gonna join us? What time
are we gonna get there? We're gonna get you know,
she's getting ready, putting her makeup on. They're gonna leave early.
(24:08):
They get there, they check in, they wait a few minutes,
they're called to their table. They get to their table,
they're continuing to make small talk with the other couple.
They're out at dinner with the chips come. They have
a couple of chips, they have a drink. The food comes,
and she's been waiting in her mind there's gonna be
this great pleasant sensation of the refried beans. And the
refried beans don't taste like they're supposed to because they
(24:30):
sat too long along the way, and all of a
sudden her one hundred times she's Gringo's not any good anymore.
And it's like, that's that's what we do. You have
to be great every single time. The Michael Barry Show, the.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Lot black guy, y'all come to get the car. The
car is not here. The car is in the shop
and one part is at another shop. If y'all want
it that bag, y'all can go pay that man to
get it out and then pay the person to get
the other part out. I mean, because y'all, like y'all
couldn't be patient. You knew that we was gonna get
it taken care of. So if y'all want it that bad,
y'all can go get it. You pay the man and
(25:08):
pay the other man and we can leave it as
that because we're not on that much on the car.
Y'all want to trip on it now that we're only
got on a thousand of two thousand on it. So
you know what, God bless y'all, y'all can go pick
up the car. So you know what, give me a callback,
and so I will give you the direction to what
a man is and I will let him know that
y'all gonna be paying him to get it out because
(25:28):
y'all don't be patient. We're not rich like y'all. That's
one thing y'all gonna have to understand. But one day
this year we will be because we have Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Remember Susan Rice, who was the one who told the
lies about Benghazi when the Americans were killed, including a Democrat,
the American ambassador whose body was dragged through the streets
of Benghazi on nine to eleven, And they told us
(26:04):
it had nothing to do with that. It was Christian's
fault for a Christian film having been played in Egypt.
The most ridiculous thing ever. But whatever, Well, guess where
she is now. Among her interests, business interests and professional
undertakings is she is on the board of directors of Netflix.
(26:29):
The people in the Obama Clinton orbit have become so
fabulously wealthy because of the interplay between billionaires and government
and media. It is. It's absolutely staggering. It's absolutely staggering.
(26:57):
Unrelated pivot, move on to the next subject. I say
that because sometimes people struggle to My wife struggles with that.
I'm putting that subject to bed. So what I'm about
to say has nothing to do with it, because she'll say, well,
do was I have to do with Susan Rice? Oh?
We moved on from We're on to a new subject.
Oh okay, when did we start the new subject? Anyway?
(27:20):
Thirty six years and hadn't gotten any better? I mean,
I'm pretty much I'm pretty sure I'm pretty much the
problem here. But it's that's just my life, as you'd
like to know. So I like to dive in. That's
why I liked Mike Rose program so much. Dirty Jobs.
I like to dive in and watch people's lives and
(27:43):
watch the intense moment. Listeners of our program, the thing
we share is your opinion of Nancy Pelosi or Barack
Obama or Donald Trump and what's going on in then.
But what listen don't understand is that your life is
fascinating to me, especially the things you would take for granted, like, well, yeah,
(28:07):
I do that every day. Well it's normal. Yeah, you're
a fighter pilot, you might do it every day, but
it's pretty awesome. Or you get on a plane and
you walk up and down this little tiny aisle with
a bunch of creepers. You get to figure out if
that person's asleep or awake, and when they I mean,
you think about being a stewardess. That's a hard job.
(28:30):
That's a lot harder. People think of it purely from
the passenger perspective. Can you imagine every single person's got
an attitude. Half of them are asleep, so you don't
get to take their order. Then when they're awake because
the food is coming around, they're mad that you didn't
bring their food. People are irrational, man, They're nuts. I've
(28:52):
seen it happen. They're nuts. Now. I can't stand a
rude stewardess as much as the next guy, but my goodness,
so I decided for the month of September I was
going to be all up in Mike Bachis's business for
lone Star Chevy. I'll do this with mac, I'll do
it with different businesses. And so I started, Hey, what's
(29:14):
the goal for the number of vehicles you're going to
sell this month? And he said four forty?
Speaker 9 (29:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
What does that look like? All right, it's going to
be one eight I see, no, two to eighty new
one sixty used. All right, So is there any special
incentive going on? Is it you know you are you
able to do this, this and this because it's you're
trying to get you know, you're trying to move cars
(29:42):
before the new models come in. Is there dead or da?
He said, Man, we're gonna bust. But like we do
every month. The only the one bit, the one bump
we need is a drop in interest rates. When that happens,
the floodgeds will open. We have a lot of people
waiting on the sideline that have been waiting for a while,
(30:04):
and it'd be nice to know either they're not going
to drop, go ahead and buy if you're gonna buy,
or hey, they're going to drop on this day. Because
we're living in limbo about a factor we can't control.
So we're moving alone, moving alone, moving alone, and sales
are plugging along, and so on Saturday, I call him
(30:26):
a couple of times, one late morning, one late afternoon,
one in the evening. And I don't know about you,
but I really enjoy having my weekends off, especially during
football season. Now, my wife and kids would say that
I don't take that time off because I'm on my phone.
I'm making notes. I'm sending ideas to the guys, to Thatt.
(30:47):
We're floating ideas on a parody or an article or
research or a guest all the time. But let's be honest,
this ain't really a job. I mean, I don't want
them to know this, but I do it for free.
I did it for two years for free. I love
doing it. It's it's like, how many folks, if you're
(31:09):
listening right now, you're in a band that you make
lil or nothing in the band, you work a day job.
Kevin Bull, you work your butt on a day job
so you get to go play at night. Or Josh
Fuller or you know fill in the blank, or you
know you host majong, or you know you're in a
bowling league, or you're in a wes Velina polka. You're
(31:30):
in a polka band. You got your day job that
funds the fact that you get to go be a
drummer or get to be in a bike club or
in a classic car club or softball league or whatever else.
I kind of view our job as that I just
don't have a day job. And so anyway, so Saturday,
I'm calling him, you know where we at on sat
All right, what are you doing? And I said, Hey,
(31:53):
should I send some food up there to you guys?
He's like, no, no, no, no food, No food distraction. We
can't be distracted. Okay, well we'll do it another day.
So we're going along. It's late Saturday evening and they're
still there because people buy cars on Saturday. So I
didn't call him on Monday, and then Tuesday was a
big day, and so on Tuesday I think he still
(32:15):
had to sell I don't know thirty or forty vehicles.
But the way these things work is they tend to
backload toward the end of the month, and a lot
of it was the end of the fiscal years. So
some people, you know, they there if it's a company purchase.
On there, they sell box trucks. Also anything Chevy, in fact,
anything Chevy and a bunch of other stuff because they
(32:35):
have used vehicles as well. And we're going along, we're
going along, and so we're getting down to the cutting.
So next morning I texted him and I said, well,
did we make it? And he said yeah, He said,
I had to have two of my salesmen buy vehicles
in the last five minutes in order to get there,
(32:57):
But we did it. And I love what that proves,
which and I'm the same way if I've got a goal.
When if you've got if you're trying to lose forty pounds,
you can avoid the ice cream and the chips and
the beers and the cokes. But if you're just generally
trying to lose weight, you won't do it. When you
set a goal, especially once you start making some progress
for that goal, anything to achieve that goal. It's amazing
(33:19):
successful organization. Successful people are goal orienting. The rest of
the people are just kind of muddling along.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
