Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Varry Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Smells olives, your talk got bloom fired up, the blood
shirts and a spike and they're just salivate. I asked
Jason Oja at Laboucherie, he's having these big Saturdays, his
big open house to the public celebrate their thirty years.
They're going to have tastings and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And I asked him, I said, hey, would you carry
this guy's olives? And he said, have him called me.
We'll figure it out. We'll put it out. Makes sense.
There's a lot of foot traffic there now. He provides
a lot of product to grocery stores, which is where
most of Laboucherie's meets are purchased. Just because that's a footprint, right,
(01:48):
that's a distribution network. Not everybody can drive to kirkan
Doll in Spring and pick stuff up.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You can get it mailed to you. It's Cajunmeats dot com.
When I will give.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You the eight categories on the website and you rank
them for me on your likelihood to order, because that's
what you would most want to eat. Okay, Number one
is best sellers. Sorry, what just seven? So number one
is stuffed chicken. We eat the stuffed chicken one point
five times per week. Yeah, because if we got a
(02:21):
lot going on that day, nothing can literally put it
out in thought, put it in the oven, real flow
and low, let it cook. You could cook it faster.
Let it cook for a couple hours. And it's an
entire meal right there, especially if it's just me and
her and she doesn't feel like, you know, she needs
(02:42):
to make a bunch of elaborate stuff. You've got your
chicken stuffed with you know, a casse role or a
potato or there's all sorts of good stuff you can
put in there. But it's a whole meal. And she doesn't,
you know, there's no clean up, there's no and I
love it. She knows I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So so you got stuff chicken, stuffed pork. We do that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We do the chicken at least once, and we'll do
the pork once he's got cheeses and things. He'll put
in there, and like spicy pepper inside the meat because
to me, pork's too dry. Otherwise it makes it perfect.
The third one is tur Ducan's. There's a lot of
(03:27):
the hell just happened. You would need a you're a
head of tur ducan. If you're a headach, okay.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We then don't be against it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's what a child does. Then you got sides in
land yap. We'll come back to that. Then you got
bacon wrapped. That's a whole category. The good thing about
his bacon wrapped is a bacon doesn't come off. If
I do my own home cooked bacon rap, it's gonna
come off. And then what do you have meat with
bacon on the side that has some meat.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Flavoring on it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Then you've got budan sausage, which there's a very very
good And then you got with seafood. That's a whole
category all in its own. What's your ranking? The sounds
like you go on chicken first, the seafood. You got
crawfish pie, shrimp pie. That's about all the kind of
shrimps they got. You got turducan roll, stuff with shrimp, sausage, jumbalaya,
(04:19):
bacon wrapped, jalapeno pepper stuffed with shrimp and pepper jack, cheese,
a lot crawfish and toufe shrimp fetuccini. And the thing
is these are meals ready to meat, that meals ready
to eat, that tastes more.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Like something you make at your home.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
They brought the they brought it all from Louisiana, and
there is quite the audience for it there.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They also make a faeta meat. They do chicken.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You can get all flats if you want to like flats.
I don't like the drumsticks on my You got turkey.
You let's see what the sides.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And lenyat they got.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Over there, pantry and Cajun goods, that good stuff. That's exciting,
you know, talking about stupid loss. So my dad got
an insulin pump a while back. A lot of you
are on insulin pumps. My entire life, he would have
he'd have a little little pouch you'd take away him
to pull out, and he'd prick his finger and then
(05:16):
he'd squeeze it and get the blood and put it
on a little tab, and that tab would tell him
what his blood sugar was not terribly accurate and certainly inconvenient.
And the ends of his fingers were always sore. He's
having to prick it five times a day, and he's
moving around his fingers, and so his fingers always had
soreness on the tips and loss of sensitivity because you
(05:37):
do that for so long. So then we started into
the pumps, and the pump was on the it was
on the you wear it on your belt in front
of your belly, and you know it was supposed to
be better than the shot. But at least with the shot,
you know he had have the acory. But they gotten
better and better and better on the on the pump,
and now they got they called c GM's continuous glucose Monitor,
which I think is a major advancement in metas and
(06:00):
wellness because now you can see for yourself what food's
due to your blood sugar, which is very important and
there are a lot of misconceptions of that and it's
a good way to learn it on your own. And
that administers insulin based on the number of units you need. Now,
the bad news is his pump keeps running out of insulin.
(06:22):
The good news is, and this is what my wife
and I are having a it's not acrimonious, but it's
a disagreement. The good news is the reason his pump
is running out of insulin is because he's eating too well.
Because the assisted living center which we've put him in
right next to my house.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Is the food is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I have been known to sit and have a meal
with him at dinner because the food is so good
that you don't mind eating there. Well, his entire life,
he has denied himself food because he didn't want to
spike his blood. And now he looks forward to his
meal and that's his social time. And you know, he's
(07:05):
got his person, he seems it on this day, sits
with this person and they all sit there and say.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Huh, why, huh?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Why?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Just say, yeah, who is that my son?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
We have Michael Berry who won around Yeah, hey, Norman,
who was that? That's my son, Michael Berry. And they
replayed this whole thing again, and it's really kind of harmless.
It's like kids, you know, but why? And you answer
but why? Eighth one, you're like, you know what, it
doesn't matter what I answered, because but why is going
to be the follow up to that. But I say
(07:34):
all that to say this. So, the assisted living facility
has its own nurse care there that is very good.
But they were not allowed to administer his insuluce. They
were not even allowed to prick the needle into his arm.
It's a little be tiny needle until all of these
approvals by the state were given. So guess what we
(07:55):
had all sorts of problems. He was falling apart. His
blood sugar was We could have lost him all because
of a law that prevented the nurse who knew how
to and wanted to put the needle in his arm,
and the facility who were paying to put the needle
his arm.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But the state, you.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Know, we've got all these stupid laws keeping us from
doing common sense, natural things.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's the problem to librarians. Everyone listens to Michael very
show without objection. The gentleman is recognized for one minute.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Good morning America. What about those astros, the Houston Astros,
members of the eighteenth Congressional District in the great city
of Houston. Let me thank the Houston Astros for taking

about things that we should not be.
Speaker 2 (11:37):

we're all going to join together. I'd like to thank
the mayor, the county judge, the state representatives, the senators,

Speaker 1 (12:43):
And and this win, this win is for you.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Shila South then, boy, oh my, this win is for you.
A man arrested for shooting six people at a Hillcroft
sports bar over the weekend is a Venezuela national with
ice holds.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He also has.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
A previous twenty twenty three conviction in Montgomery County for
assault causing bodily injury to a family member. Popo believe
the second suspect fled to Mexico.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Right now, there's not a whole lot of information about
Barsino's arrest, but we know he was taken into custody
yesterday after surveillance cameras caught him at the scene of
the crime. Here's a look at some of that surveillance photos.
Before Briseno's arrest, HPD released these photos that showed two
men outside the sports bar. HPD says Brisino isn't the
(13:38):
man in the dark clothing and police believe he and
the other man in the white clothing were in the
black Toyota Corolla. Records show Brisino opened fire into the
front of the nightclub, striking six people with gunfire before
running away.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
From the scene.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
HPD rushed to the scene where they found six people
who were shot and they were all rushed to the hospital.
Please say, four of those people are still in critical condition.
Record show Briseno is of Venezuelan national and is currently
on an icehold. HBD says the second suspect that was
seen on that surveillance is still on the running.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So we're going to get down to the nut cut
in tone within the year. Right now, we've got this
Khalil Khalil, the terrorist at Columbia University. You've got the
clear CCP asset, the cute Asian girl, the Chattese girl
that was here to spy and to rabble rouse. You've got, folks,
(14:44):
there's an interesting scenario. There's the kind of stuff that
gets you called anti Semitic because you're not supposed to
point some things out. But I think we should have
some level of intellectual consistency. I have friends who want
the Hamas protesters, the pro Hamas protesters deported, but they
(15:04):
don't want the illegal aliens that come into Texas from
Mexico deported. And I will say they happen to be Jewish,
And I'll say, well why deport that? Because this is terrorism.
Let me tell you something. It's gonna come as a
huge shock. The cartels are as dangerous, vicious, deadly as
(15:30):
humas they are, and they have way more kills, and
they're on our doorstep. I'm all for gicking kicking them
all out, but you're not gonna cherry pick the folks
that hate Jews.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, he hates Jews. Get him out of here, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well this guy right here, who's in Houston, he brings
eight year old little girls and boys here to be
butt raped.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well you no, no, no, no, no no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, we're all in. What you're doing right there is
not principled. We're gonna have to get serious. We can't
cherry pick here and there. The worst of the worst
are the ones who hate Jews. No, it's got to
be all with his finger on the pulse.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
The jinguding continues on The Michael Berry Show, a.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
More favorite Park. So I told the story yesterday that
I was calling out to Acehardware. Texas dot Com is
thirty three ACE Hardware owners. They're all locally owned, owner operated,
local to their community. Langham Creek is the one that
I know is. The guy's name's Rick Tapp, and the
(16:57):
whole family works there. It's an old fashioned family were
on hardware store, the likes of which you used to
have lots of, and then consolidation and global globalization and
you can't keep up because you know, I don't know
what the price of a hammer wholesale is. But let's
say I don't know what it is retail. Let's say
a hammer costs ten bucks. If you have to pay
(17:20):
seven bucks for that hammer and home depot can get
it for two, you can't compete. They can sell the
hammer on the shelf cheaper than you can buy it
much less unpackage it, put it on the shelf, and
you know, count for the cost of rent. So Ace
Hardware is basically a co op that allows them the
(17:41):
buying power and the branding and everything that the legal
and all that that goes with it. So anyway, so
I'm going out Today's hardware and I couldn't find Rick
TAP's number. I'd misplaced it. So I just called out
there and the lady picked up, and I told you
the story. You know, Ace Hardware.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
This is Heather.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
How can I help you? And I said, Heather, I'm
trying to reach brick Tab. She said, oh, he's not here.
So we talked for about a minute, figuring out when
he'd be back and all that, and at the end
she said, but not in such a scripted way. That's annoying.
She said, I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you.
I said, well, I don't take it personally. He's just
not there. And I said, oh, don't you worry. She said,
(18:22):
can I tell him you called?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Have him call you? I said, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I mean, I'm not Cicilian village bag, but I don't
want anybody calling me.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I said, no, no, I'll coordinate with him.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So I told the story and then I posted on
Facebook and I said, I do this often if I
get a compliment on an officer, I asked, Okay, what department,
where were you, what time, what was their name, what's
their description?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Any other details and what happened?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And if it's Houston Police Officers Union, I'll call Ray
Hunt or Doug Griffith and I'll say, hey, I want
to get this guy recognized. She, you know, stopped and
helped somebody, and she went above and beyond and she
waited their way and all that. Can you have at
pre shift roll call tomorrow? Can you have this person
honored by their sergeant? And they always do it, and
I do it with other departments. If I have a
(19:09):
contact in that department, I'll reach out and say, hey,
can I want this person to be recognized amongst their
peers for what they've done, even if it's a small thing.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And there's two reasons for that.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Number One, it always feels nice to be recognized for
something that you don't think people noticed. But that person
not only noticed, they took the time to come and
tell me afterwards that really you've made a difference in
their day. In number two, people want praise, so other
people say, huh, I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm
going to be nice to people. Why am I to
acting like a tsagent. I'm going to be nice to
(19:39):
people and you get better behaviors. And number three out
of two one point five is you feel good when
you do something like that, you feel good. So I said, hey,
send me a story to give an Ada boy or
an add A girl to somebody, and Greg greg Ilitch
(20:00):
serendipity Taichi wrote me a small novel with something nice
somebody did. It's too long for me to read, but
he did for somebody at that particular place. Jonathan Sturgis says,
my wife's been battling cancer for nine years now. She's
a fighter, holding up on her own. Our motto is
one day at a time. She recently changed to a
new oncologist. We also had to change in our insurance.
(20:21):
We knew that we would run into pre authorization issues
with a new insurance based on the specialized medicine she's
been using. As soon as we made Nurse Cody in
the physician office awhere, she immediately jumped into action. When
the insurance denied some medication. She went through my wife's
medical history and resubmitted an appeal. This took a lot
of time and effort on her part to do, since
there is nine years of history. She successfully got the
(20:44):
decision overturned and my wife's medications approved. When we had
another visit in the office, I made sure to find
her and thank her in person. I also let the
physician know and asked him to acknowledge her efforts. Nurse
Cody at the Houston Methodist Sugarland Oncology Physician Office is our.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
At a girl.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Jonathan Sturgis see, people are very quick to tell you
what a business does wrong and very slow to compliment.
When you want more behaviors, you incentivize that behavior. When
you don't want certain behaviors, you disincentivize punish that behavior.
That's what you do when you write a nasty YELP review.
(21:24):
That's what you do when you ask for a manager.
That's what you do when you tell them that it
wasn't a good experience. That's what you do when you
don't tipwell. Those are ways that you discourage said behavior.
But how often do you incentivize and encourage behaviors that
you want to see because you can. You can end
(21:44):
up at the same station on a different train if
you are keen.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
To recognize good behaviors. I know people who go out
to eat looking for a.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Problem and their idea of a meal that was a
bad is nobody messed anything up? You ever noticed the
people who bad things always seem to be happening to
It's not bad things, it's that they overreact to those
bad things. Something happens, you know, a picket in the
fence falls, it's the end of the world, and they
make a big deal and make a fight out of it,
(22:16):
and they argue with this person and the cops.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Are involved in.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You're your own worst enemy if you're out looking for
positive And I'll tell you that interview I did with
George Foreman.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We've posted it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He has that attitude about everything and it's infectious and
you know, the same day comes across very differently because
of that. Donna writes my husband, I want to give
an auDA boyd to two young gentlemen with leveled concrete
in Houston, Alfonso and Justin. We were obtaining a quote
for a project needed to be completed. They did all
this extra work. They were absolutely great. They do things
(22:51):
for camp Hope. Colin said. The front desk attendant at
the Omni Austin Downtown was very special accommodating when something
was amiss. She was a first to acknowledge it, squash
the problem, and upgradest. She was extremely kind and welcoming.
Her name is Kendall Riley and this happened in December.
That's how well I remember the experience. Mary Konts, I'm
(23:13):
assuming it's Coons said, I want to share a recent
experience I had with a company in an excellent customer service.
My parents are in Rosenberg has some old fashioned sliding
glass doors, and the person went above and beyond. Just says,
the person went above and beyond to take care of them.
We've got to go to a concierge type system for healthcare.
(23:33):
We've got to find a way to pay for health
care the same way we pay for other things. Insurance
doesn't work. Insurance is making decisions for your health care.
Ask your doctor if they're honest with you. If you
have a doctor you have a real relationship with, they
will tell you that there are procedures they cannot do
for you because they won't be covered by the insurance.
(23:54):
There are things that they are required to do to
you and with you that are a hassle for you
that the insurance company has thrown in your way like
a maze to prevent you from getting a treatment. There
are multiple office visits, multiple tests, multiple opportunities for them
to turn you down because once they have received your premium,
(24:17):
your insurance premium, it is not in their interest to
pay it out. If they don't have to pay for
anything for you, they make more money. The more things
they have to pay for for you, the less they make.
It's not a real market where you don't like the
fact that they won't cover your illness, you just go.
(24:37):
This is part of the suffering of having an illness,
is that the bills pile up. Well, why are the
bills piling up because the insurance company isn't making the
doctor whole, and so the doctor comes to you to
make him hole because the insurance company won't cover it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And now you're adding that stress to it. The system
is not working at all.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Great cities in between, Wow, The Michael Berry Show is nichtionwide.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's knowing that your door is always open and your
path this street to walk.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled
up and stasts.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Behind your couch.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and buns.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And the Carol Colvin rights beautiful blue bonnets on two
forty nine. I'm driving this morning to call it to
Brian College Station to see my parents. If you want
to see beautiful wildflowers, take a drive on Highway two
forty nine. There is an abundance of blue bonnets and
Indian paint brushes of Texas in the spring. When I
(26:02):
got to Navsota Slash Highway six, there are a lot
of yellow wildflowers. I'm not sure what they are, but
they're just as pretty. Have a great day, Carol Colevin.
My wife loves.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Those Indian paint brushes.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I like the yellow, I like the red, but there's
just something about the blue bonnet. I loved blue bonnets
before I knew that I loved blue bonnets because they're
the state flower. It's just kind of one of those
things that you know, you've always sort of thought. Awesome news.
(26:41):
The Classic Scout International is making a comeback all full
news only as an electric vehicle.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
What a horrible idea.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I hope it fails to quote Rush Limbo, the first
collegiate MMA scholarship awarded at Sacramento State in their new
Combat U program. School held their first MMA event this weekend.
I told you about Channel thirteen with the story about
(27:18):
the kid. They Channel thirteen is very upset that thug
kids with long criminal backgrounds of extreme violence are not
being allowed into HISD. But the children, what about the
other children? What about the other children? This didn't just
happen overnight. This is Sylvester Turner's legacy. Don't forget that
his water department manager was handing out no bid contracts
(27:41):
to friends and family with no expertise at him own
a truck to quote unquote fix the busted water mains KPRCTVS.
Amy Davis has owned this story. There is some real
journalism going on over there. Amy Davis reports that there
are more than forty billion with the b gallons of
Houston water wasted from leaks across the city. That's more
(28:04):
water than the entire city of Fort Worth uses in
a year. Texas House says they believe they have enough
votes to pass the school voucher bill if past, Texas
would be the largest state to pass a school voucher program.
(28:24):
CBS Boston finds it illegal aliens in Massachusetts charged with
raping children are being repeatedly released from jail with ridiculously
low bail. One sheriff says his hands are tied because
the state Supreme Court has ruled that he cannot hold
these illegals with ice detainers once they make bail. Your
hands are not tied, sir. You are a wus hold them,
(28:48):
force them to do something about it. If you comply,
you are complicit.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You are weak complicit.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It's just another version of word comply. That sounded better
in my mind when I set it, and then I realized, yeah,
you're complicit if you comply, your dumb ass.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's the same word.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
But at first when it came off, it felt like, man,
that might be something to write down for later. If
you comply, you're complicit. If you run, then you ran. Yeah,
just sounded good. It wasn't that good. A self admitted
MS thirteen gang member with fourteen felony arrest shoots and
(29:29):
wounds three police officers in Pueblo, Colorado. Police chief of
Pueblow calls out state lawmakers for pro criminal policies, saying
the blood of my officers lays at the steps of
our capital and the reckless and soft on crime legislation
passed out of there, and I'm tired of the needless
violence my officers in our community face because of these policies.
(29:50):
I'm gonna tell you what phase we're at right now
after the big win in November. We are at the
phase where people who should be taking action don't know
how to take action. They never have. They think that
you take action when everybody agrees this is what we do,
and then we set up a meeting to do it,
(30:12):
and then it gets done. No, you go in there,
you kick ass, and you ask for names later.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You don't. You ask for forgiveness later, you don't. You don't.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
What's happening now is we're right back where we were
before the election. Trump coming in blazing, taking action, executive.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Orders, boom boom boom, boom boom.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
But you got all these other people that have never
actually taken action and they don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
So what do we do.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
We're gonna have a lot of hearings, all right, we
got the we'll go over this. This evening, we got
the head of NPR. She comes down and they say, hey,
have you ever called for reparations from white people to
black people in America? Huh? I haven't. Well, here it
is right here, Brandon Gill, congressman, says, well, here it is.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
This is what you wrote.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh, I've evolved from then, five years yars ago? How
old are you fifty? You evolved that late? And you're no,
I don't think so. What did you need to evolve from?
What made you think that white people owe black people
a reparations payment? You can't run in PR anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
We don't need NPR.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
NPR hasn't put quality programming on in a very long time.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
They used to.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
PBS used to be the shizzle, used to be some
good stuff on there. They put Kim Burns's documentaries on there.
You know, we didn't change.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
They did.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
There's almost nobody in public life anymore that I have
any interest in talking to. I was texting with Larry
the cable guy the other day that just came out
most Sorry, I know it sounds like a name drump,
and one of my topics of conversation was how weird
it must be for him, because he has to run
in their circles. He does celebrity golf tournaments and all
these sorts of things, and he has to be around
(31:52):
these people. I mean you, I don't have to be
around him. I can turn him off.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I choose not to do that.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Oh, when we brought Darryl Koonda on to our show team,
how long has that been? Three months? We brought him
on out of extreme pity. We thought he had a
terminal illness and we were just going to pay him
a salary for a few months until he died. It
turned out he didn't have a terminal illness. He's as
(32:18):
far as we know, and we don't know he does.
It'd be weird if it turns out he does, right,
But far as we know, he's completely healthy. But it's
been a real treat to have our you know, Kundo
was the voice guy for iHeartMedia for all of our
stations all the way back, and this was a huge
get for us.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And you know, we thought we were doing in Infaris.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
So it's been a treat because he comes in and
he can do voices, he can do all these different
things that that wasn't something we had in house already.
And he's added a lot more. He also, you know,
when I talk about somebody on the air, he sends
it to that person, say, MICHAELA, they didn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Michael was talking about you today.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
And people like that. They can share it with their friends.
But in order to make it make sense, and it's
uncomfortable for people talk about these things, but not for me,
I said, We're going to have to monetize your position.
We've got to find a way to pay your salary
so that it's just not just a net loss because
a better quality show doesn't make me any more money.
(33:18):
So I said, look, you were putting on golf tournaments
for ailing gas companies. I stopped doing the last of
my Saint Jude golf tournaments, which I did for Eddie
Martini for ten years. I told him years ago it's
the last one I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Was in December.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
So we will do one in the fall, and Kunda
will put that on because that's what he's done, and
we'll have teams and.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
It will be for a charity.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
The charity is the Michael Berry Show Team, so that
will cover Kunda's salary and bonuses for our team, and
we do that with merch and things like that.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
But that was the deal, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Look, this one golf tournament will pay your salary for
the year and give a little money for some bonuses
for our team, and it'll be fun and people will
enjoy it. And we'll also do a concert as well.
But I can handle the concert part with Emily handling
a lot of details. So what I need is a
golf course that wants to host a tournament. Let me
just say this upfront, it's not an opportunity for you
(34:12):
to make money like Trump. I do deals that are
bad for you and good for me because you're going
to get some promos. So email me if you're interested.
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Varry Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Smells olives, your talk got bloom fired up, the blood
shirts and a spike and they're just salivate. I asked
Jason Oja at Laboucherie, he's having these big Saturdays, his
big open house to the public celebrate their thirty years.
They're going to have tastings and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And I asked him, I said, hey, would you carry
this guy's olives? And he said, have him called me.
We'll figure it out. We'll put it out. Makes sense.
There's a lot of foot traffic there now. He provides
a lot of product to grocery stores, which is where
most of Laboucherie's meets are purchased. Just because that's a footprint, right,
(01:48):
that's a distribution network. Not everybody can drive to kirkan
Doll in Spring and pick stuff up.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You can get it mailed to you. It's Cajunmeats dot com.
When I will give.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You the eight categories on the website and you rank
them for me on your likelihood to order, because that's
what you would most want to eat. Okay, Number one
is best sellers. Sorry, what just seven? So number one
is stuffed chicken. We eat the stuffed chicken one point
five times per week. Yeah, because if we got a
(02:21):
lot going on that day, nothing can literally put it
out in thought, put it in the oven, real flow
and low, let it cook. You could cook it faster.
Let it cook for a couple hours. And it's an
entire meal right there, especially if it's just me and
her and she doesn't feel like, you know, she needs
(02:42):
to make a bunch of elaborate stuff. You've got your
chicken stuffed with you know, a casse role or a
potato or there's all sorts of good stuff you can
put in there. But it's a whole meal. And she doesn't,
you know, there's no clean up, there's no and I
love it. She knows I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So so you got stuff chicken, stuffed pork. We do that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We do the chicken at least once, and we'll do
the pork once he's got cheeses and things. He'll put
in there, and like spicy pepper inside the meat because
to me, pork's too dry. Otherwise it makes it perfect.
The third one is tur Ducan's. There's a lot of
(03:27):
the hell just happened. You would need a you're a
head of tur ducan. If you're a headach, okay.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We then don't be against it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's what a child does. Then you got sides in
land yap. We'll come back to that. Then you got
bacon wrapped. That's a whole category. The good thing about
his bacon wrapped is a bacon doesn't come off. If
I do my own home cooked bacon rap, it's gonna
come off. And then what do you have meat with
bacon on the side that has some meat.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Flavoring on it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Then you've got budan sausage, which there's a very very
good And then you got with seafood. That's a whole
category all in its own. What's your ranking? The sounds
like you go on chicken first, the seafood. You got
crawfish pie, shrimp pie. That's about all the kind of
shrimps they got. You got turducan roll, stuff with shrimp, sausage, jumbalaya,
(04:19):
bacon wrapped, jalapeno pepper stuffed with shrimp and pepper jack, cheese,
a lot crawfish and toufe shrimp fetuccini. And the thing
is these are meals ready to meat, that meals ready
to eat, that tastes more.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Like something you make at your home.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
They brought the they brought it all from Louisiana, and
there is quite the audience for it there.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They also make a faeta meat. They do chicken.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You can get all flats if you want to like flats.
I don't like the drumsticks on my You got turkey.
You let's see what the sides.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And lenyat they got.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Over there, pantry and Cajun goods, that good stuff. That's exciting,
you know, talking about stupid loss. So my dad got
an insulin pump a while back. A lot of you
are on insulin pumps. My entire life, he would have
he'd have a little little pouch you'd take away him
to pull out, and he'd prick his finger and then
(05:16):
he'd squeeze it and get the blood and put it
on a little tab, and that tab would tell him
what his blood sugar was not terribly accurate and certainly inconvenient.
And the ends of his fingers were always sore. He's
having to prick it five times a day, and he's
moving around his fingers, and so his fingers always had
soreness on the tips and loss of sensitivity because you
(05:37):
do that for so long. So then we started into
the pumps, and the pump was on the it was
on the you wear it on your belt in front
of your belly, and you know it was supposed to
be better than the shot. But at least with the shot,
you know he had have the acory. But they gotten
better and better and better on the on the pump,
and now they got they called c GM's continuous glucose Monitor,
which I think is a major advancement in metas and
(06:00):
wellness because now you can see for yourself what food's
due to your blood sugar, which is very important and
there are a lot of misconceptions of that and it's
a good way to learn it on your own. And
that administers insulin based on the number of units you need. Now,
the bad news is his pump keeps running out of insulin.
(06:22):
The good news is, and this is what my wife
and I are having a it's not acrimonious, but it's
a disagreement. The good news is the reason his pump
is running out of insulin is because he's eating too well.
Because the assisted living center which we've put him in
right next to my house.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Is the food is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I have been known to sit and have a meal
with him at dinner because the food is so good
that you don't mind eating there. Well, his entire life,
he has denied himself food because he didn't want to
spike his blood. And now he looks forward to his
meal and that's his social time. And you know, he's
(07:05):
got his person, he seems it on this day, sits
with this person and they all sit there and say.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Huh, why, huh?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Why?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Just say, yeah, who is that my son?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
We have Michael Berry who won around Yeah, hey, Norman,
who was that? That's my son, Michael Berry. And they
replayed this whole thing again, and it's really kind of harmless.
It's like kids, you know, but why? And you answer
but why? Eighth one, you're like, you know what, it
doesn't matter what I answered, because but why is going
to be the follow up to that. But I say
(07:34):
all that to say this. So, the assisted living facility
has its own nurse care there that is very good.
But they were not allowed to administer his insuluce. They
were not even allowed to prick the needle into his arm.
It's a little be tiny needle until all of these
approvals by the state were given. So guess what we
(07:55):
had all sorts of problems. He was falling apart. His
blood sugar was We could have lost him all because
of a law that prevented the nurse who knew how
to and wanted to put the needle in his arm,
and the facility who were paying to put the needle
his arm.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
But the state, you.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Know, we've got all these stupid laws keeping us from
doing common sense, natural things.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's the problem to librarians. Everyone listens to Michael very
show without objection. The gentleman is recognized for one minute.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Good morning America. What about those astros, the Houston Astros,
members of the eighteenth Congressional District in the great city
of Houston. Let me thank the Houston Astros for taking
a Harvey Warren community to the highest length. We have
never won the World Series.

fine competitor. Thank all of them for the great sportsmanship,
the character that was shown.

Who you watching?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I can't with all the retro jerseys these days, I
can't tell what team that is. And all over the country,

Speaker 1 (11:32):
We're not. We're just at this moment we're gonna talk
about things that we should not be.

we're all going to join together. I'd like to thank
the mayor, the county judge, the state representatives, the senators,

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Right before I came up, they said, don't forget to

Pablo al Altuey, one of our Southern boys. The boy.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yes, we've got those Southern boys and boy and corellis
what's his name? Guido Correllis. Uh, he's one of the
one of the players as well. We've got quite the
team here and I'm I'm really proud as their congressman.
They they've often said to me, Congress, you represent us. Well,
(12:39):
you carry the torch for our team in Congress.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And and this win, this win is for you.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Shila South then, boy, oh my, this win is for you.
A man arrested for shooting six people at a Hillcroft
sports bar over the weekend is a Venezuela national with
ice holds.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He also has.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
A previous twenty twenty three conviction in Montgomery County for
assault causing bodily injury to a family member. Popo believe
the second suspect fled to Mexico.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Right now, there's not a whole lot of information about
Barsino's arrest, but we know he was taken into custody
yesterday after surveillance cameras caught him at the scene of
the crime. Here's a look at some of that surveillance photos.
Before Briseno's arrest, HPD released these photos that showed two
men outside the sports bar. HPD says Brisino isn't the
(13:38):
man in the dark clothing and police believe he and
the other man in the white clothing were in the
black Toyota Corolla. Records show Brisino opened fire into the
front of the nightclub, striking six people with gunfire before
running away.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
From the scene.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
HPD rushed to the scene where they found six people
who were shot and they were all rushed to the hospital.
Please say, four of those people are still in critical condition.
Record show Briseno is of Venezuelan national and is currently
on an icehold. HBD says the second suspect that was
seen on that surveillance is still on the running.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So we're going to get down to the nut cut
in tone within the year. Right now, we've got this
Khalil Khalil, the terrorist at Columbia University. You've got the
clear CCP asset, the cute Asian girl, the Chattese girl
that was here to spy and to rabble rouse. You've got, folks,
(14:44):
there's an interesting scenario. There's the kind of stuff that
gets you called anti Semitic because you're not supposed to
point some things out. But I think we should have
some level of intellectual consistency. I have friends who want
the Hamas protesters, the pro Hamas protesters deported, but they
(15:04):
don't want the illegal aliens that come into Texas from
Mexico deported. And I will say they happen to be Jewish,
And I'll say, well why deport that? Because this is terrorism.
Let me tell you something. It's gonna come as a
huge shock. The cartels are as dangerous, vicious, deadly as
(15:30):
humas they are, and they have way more kills, and
they're on our doorstep. I'm all for gicking kicking them
all out, but you're not gonna cherry pick the folks
that hate Jews.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, he hates Jews. Get him out of here, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well this guy right here, who's in Houston, he brings
eight year old little girls and boys here to be
butt raped.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well you no, no, no, no, no no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, we're all in. What you're doing right there is
not principled. We're gonna have to get serious. We can't
cherry pick here and there. The worst of the worst
are the ones who hate Jews. No, it's got to
be all with his finger on the pulse.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
The jinguding continues on The Michael Berry Show, a.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
More favorite Park. So I told the story yesterday that
I was calling out to Acehardware. Texas dot Com is
thirty three ACE Hardware owners. They're all locally owned, owner operated,
local to their community. Langham Creek is the one that
I know is. The guy's name's Rick Tapp, and the
(16:57):
whole family works there. It's an old fashioned family were
on hardware store, the likes of which you used to
have lots of, and then consolidation and global globalization and
you can't keep up because you know, I don't know
what the price of a hammer wholesale is. But let's
say I don't know what it is retail. Let's say
a hammer costs ten bucks. If you have to pay
(17:20):
seven bucks for that hammer and home depot can get
it for two, you can't compete. They can sell the
hammer on the shelf cheaper than you can buy it
much less unpackage it, put it on the shelf, and
you know, count for the cost of rent. So Ace
Hardware is basically a co op that allows them the
(17:41):
buying power and the branding and everything that the legal
and all that that goes with it. So anyway, so
I'm going out Today's hardware and I couldn't find Rick
TAP's number. I'd misplaced it. So I just called out
there and the lady picked up, and I told you
the story. You know, Ace Hardware.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
This is Heather.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
How can I help you? And I said, Heather, I'm
trying to reach brick Tab. She said, oh, he's not here.
So we talked for about a minute, figuring out when
he'd be back and all that, and at the end
she said, but not in such a scripted way. That's annoying.
She said, I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you.
I said, well, I don't take it personally. He's just
not there. And I said, oh, don't you worry. She said,
(18:22):
can I tell him you called?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Have him call you? I said, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I mean, I'm not Cicilian village bag, but I don't
want anybody calling me.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I said, no, no, I'll coordinate with him.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
So I told the story and then I posted on
Facebook and I said, I do this often if I
get a compliment on an officer, I asked, Okay, what department,
where were you, what time, what was their name, what's
their description?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Any other details and what happened?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
And if it's Houston Police Officers Union, I'll call Ray
Hunt or Doug Griffith and I'll say, hey, I want
to get this guy recognized. She, you know, stopped and
helped somebody, and she went above and beyond and she
waited their way and all that. Can you have at
pre shift roll call tomorrow? Can you have this person
honored by their sergeant? And they always do it, and
I do it with other departments. If I have a
(19:09):
contact in that department, I'll reach out and say, hey,
can I want this person to be recognized amongst their
peers for what they've done, even if it's a small thing.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And there's two reasons for that.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Number One, it always feels nice to be recognized for
something that you don't think people noticed. But that person
not only noticed, they took the time to come and
tell me afterwards that really you've made a difference in
their day. In number two, people want praise, so other
people say, huh, I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm
going to be nice to people. Why am I to
acting like a tsagent. I'm going to be nice to
(19:39):
people and you get better behaviors. And number three out
of two one point five is you feel good when
you do something like that, you feel good. So I said, hey,
send me a story to give an Ada boy or
an add A girl to somebody, and Greg greg Ilitch
(20:00):
serendipity Taichi wrote me a small novel with something nice
somebody did. It's too long for me to read, but
he did for somebody at that particular place. Jonathan Sturgis says,
my wife's been battling cancer for nine years now. She's
a fighter, holding up on her own. Our motto is
one day at a time. She recently changed to a
new oncologist. We also had to change in our insurance.
(20:21):
We knew that we would run into pre authorization issues
with a new insurance based on the specialized medicine she's
been using. As soon as we made Nurse Cody in
the physician office awhere, she immediately jumped into action. When
the insurance denied some medication. She went through my wife's
medical history and resubmitted an appeal. This took a lot
of time and effort on her part to do, since
there is nine years of history. She successfully got the
(20:44):
decision overturned and my wife's medications approved. When we had
another visit in the office, I made sure to find
her and thank her in person. I also let the
physician know and asked him to acknowledge her efforts. Nurse
Cody at the Houston Methodist Sugarland Oncology Physician Office is our.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
At a girl.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Jonathan Sturgis see, people are very quick to tell you
what a business does wrong and very slow to compliment.
When you want more behaviors, you incentivize that behavior. When
you don't want certain behaviors, you disincentivize punish that behavior.
That's what you do when you write a nasty YELP review.
(21:24):
That's what you do when you ask for a manager.
That's what you do when you tell them that it
wasn't a good experience. That's what you do when you
don't tipwell. Those are ways that you discourage said behavior.
But how often do you incentivize and encourage behaviors that
you want to see because you can. You can end
(21:44):
up at the same station on a different train if
you are keen.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
To recognize good behaviors. I know people who go out
to eat looking for a.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Problem and their idea of a meal that was a
bad is nobody messed anything up? You ever noticed the
people who bad things always seem to be happening to
It's not bad things, it's that they overreact to those
bad things. Something happens, you know, a picket in the
fence falls, it's the end of the world, and they
make a big deal and make a fight out of it,
(22:16):
and they argue with this person and the cops.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Are involved in.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You're your own worst enemy if you're out looking for
positive And I'll tell you that interview I did with
George Foreman.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We've posted it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He has that attitude about everything and it's infectious and
you know, the same day comes across very differently because
of that. Donna writes my husband, I want to give
an auDA boyd to two young gentlemen with leveled concrete
in Houston, Alfonso and Justin. We were obtaining a quote
for a project needed to be completed. They did all
this extra work. They were absolutely great. They do things
(22:51):
for camp Hope. Colin said. The front desk attendant at
the Omni Austin Downtown was very special accommodating when something
was amiss. She was a first to acknowledge it, squash
the problem, and upgradest. She was extremely kind and welcoming.
Her name is Kendall Riley and this happened in December.
That's how well I remember the experience. Mary Konts, I'm
(23:13):
assuming it's Coons said, I want to share a recent
experience I had with a company in an excellent customer service.
My parents are in Rosenberg has some old fashioned sliding
glass doors, and the person went above and beyond. Just says,
the person went above and beyond to take care of them.
We've got to go to a concierge type system for healthcare.
(23:33):
We've got to find a way to pay for health
care the same way we pay for other things. Insurance
doesn't work. Insurance is making decisions for your health care.
Ask your doctor if they're honest with you. If you
have a doctor you have a real relationship with, they
will tell you that there are procedures they cannot do
for you because they won't be covered by the insurance.
(23:54):
There are things that they are required to do to
you and with you that are a hassle for you
that the insurance company has thrown in your way like
a maze to prevent you from getting a treatment. There
are multiple office visits, multiple tests, multiple opportunities for them
to turn you down because once they have received your premium,
(24:17):
your insurance premium, it is not in their interest to
pay it out. If they don't have to pay for
anything for you, they make more money. The more things
they have to pay for for you, the less they make.
It's not a real market where you don't like the
fact that they won't cover your illness, you just go.
(24:37):
This is part of the suffering of having an illness,
is that the bills pile up. Well, why are the
bills piling up because the insurance company isn't making the
doctor whole, and so the doctor comes to you to
make him hole because the insurance company won't cover it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And now you're adding that stress to it. The system
is not working at all.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Great cities in between, Wow, The Michael Berry Show is nichtionwide.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's knowing that your door is always open and your
path this street to walk.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled
up and stasts.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Behind your couch.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and buns.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And the Carol Colvin rights beautiful blue bonnets on two
forty nine. I'm driving this morning to call it to
Brian College Station to see my parents. If you want
to see beautiful wildflowers, take a drive on Highway two
forty nine. There is an abundance of blue bonnets and
Indian paint brushes of Texas in the spring. When I
(26:02):
got to Navsota Slash Highway six, there are a lot
of yellow wildflowers. I'm not sure what they are, but
they're just as pretty. Have a great day, Carol Colevin.
My wife loves.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Those Indian paint brushes.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I like the yellow, I like the red, but there's
just something about the blue bonnet. I loved blue bonnets
before I knew that I loved blue bonnets because they're
the state flower. It's just kind of one of those
things that you know, you've always sort of thought. Awesome news.
(26:41):
The Classic Scout International is making a comeback all full
news only as an electric vehicle.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
What a horrible idea.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I hope it fails to quote Rush Limbo, the first
collegiate MMA scholarship awarded at Sacramento State in their new
Combat U program. School held their first MMA event this weekend.
I told you about Channel thirteen with the story about
(27:18):
the kid. They Channel thirteen is very upset that thug
kids with long criminal backgrounds of extreme violence are not
being allowed into HISD. But the children, what about the
other children? What about the other children? This didn't just
happen overnight. This is Sylvester Turner's legacy. Don't forget that
his water department manager was handing out no bid contracts
(27:41):
to friends and family with no expertise at him own
a truck to quote unquote fix the busted water mains KPRCTVS.
Amy Davis has owned this story. There is some real
journalism going on over there. Amy Davis reports that there
are more than forty billion with the b gallons of
Houston water wasted from leaks across the city. That's more
(28:04):
water than the entire city of Fort Worth uses in
a year. Texas House says they believe they have enough
votes to pass the school voucher bill if past, Texas
would be the largest state to pass a school voucher program.
(28:24):
CBS Boston finds it illegal aliens in Massachusetts charged with
raping children are being repeatedly released from jail with ridiculously
low bail. One sheriff says his hands are tied because
the state Supreme Court has ruled that he cannot hold
these illegals with ice detainers once they make bail. Your
hands are not tied, sir. You are a wus hold them,
(28:48):
force them to do something about it. If you comply,
you are complicit.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You are weak complicit.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It's just another version of word comply. That sounded better
in my mind when I set it, and then I realized, yeah,
you're complicit if you comply, your dumb ass.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
It's the same word.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
But at first when it came off, it felt like, man,
that might be something to write down for later. If
you comply, you're complicit. If you run, then you ran. Yeah,
just sounded good. It wasn't that good. A self admitted
MS thirteen gang member with fourteen felony arrest shoots and
(29:29):
wounds three police officers in Pueblo, Colorado. Police chief of
Pueblow calls out state lawmakers for pro criminal policies, saying
the blood of my officers lays at the steps of
our capital and the reckless and soft on crime legislation
passed out of there, and I'm tired of the needless
violence my officers in our community face because of these policies.
(29:50):
I'm gonna tell you what phase we're at right now
after the big win in November. We are at the
phase where people who should be taking action don't know
how to take action. They never have. They think that
you take action when everybody agrees this is what we do,
and then we set up a meeting to do it,
(30:12):
and then it gets done. No, you go in there,
you kick ass, and you ask for names later.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You don't. You ask for forgiveness later, you don't. You don't.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
What's happening now is we're right back where we were
before the election. Trump coming in blazing, taking action, executive.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Orders, boom boom boom, boom boom.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
But you got all these other people that have never
actually taken action and they don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
So what do we do.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
We're gonna have a lot of hearings, all right, we
got the we'll go over this. This evening, we got
the head of NPR. She comes down and they say, hey,
have you ever called for reparations from white people to
black people in America? Huh? I haven't. Well, here it
is right here, Brandon Gill, congressman, says, well, here it is.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
This is what you wrote.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh, I've evolved from then, five years yars ago? How
old are you fifty? You evolved that late? And you're no,
I don't think so. What did you need to evolve from?
What made you think that white people owe black people
a reparations payment? You can't run in PR anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
We don't need NPR.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
NPR hasn't put quality programming on in a very long time.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
They used to.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
PBS used to be the shizzle, used to be some
good stuff on there. They put Kim Burns's documentaries on there.
You know, we didn't change.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
They did.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
There's almost nobody in public life anymore that I have
any interest in talking to. I was texting with Larry
the cable guy the other day that just came out
most Sorry, I know it sounds like a name drump,
and one of my topics of conversation was how weird
it must be for him, because he has to run
in their circles. He does celebrity golf tournaments and all
these sorts of things, and he has to be around
(31:52):
these people. I mean you, I don't have to be
around him. I can turn him off.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I choose not to do that.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Oh, when we brought Darryl Koonda on to our show team,
how long has that been? Three months? We brought him
on out of extreme pity. We thought he had a
terminal illness and we were just going to pay him
a salary for a few months until he died. It
turned out he didn't have a terminal illness. He's as
(32:18):
far as we know, and we don't know he does.
It'd be weird if it turns out he does, right,
But far as we know, he's completely healthy. But it's
been a real treat to have our you know, Kundo
was the voice guy for iHeartMedia for all of our
stations all the way back, and this was a huge
get for us.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And you know, we thought we were doing in Infaris.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
So it's been a treat because he comes in and
he can do voices, he can do all these different
things that that wasn't something we had in house already.
And he's added a lot more. He also, you know,
when I talk about somebody on the air, he sends
it to that person, say, MICHAELA, they didn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Michael was talking about you today.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
And people like that. They can share it with their friends.
But in order to make it make sense, and it's
uncomfortable for people talk about these things, but not for me,
I said, We're going to have to monetize your position.
We've got to find a way to pay your salary
so that it's just not just a net loss because
a better quality show doesn't make me any more money.
(33:18):
So I said, look, you were putting on golf tournaments
for ailing gas companies. I stopped doing the last of
my Saint Jude golf tournaments, which I did for Eddie
Martini for ten years. I told him years ago it's
the last one I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Was in December.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
So we will do one in the fall, and Kunda
will put that on because that's what he's done, and
we'll have teams and.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
It will be for a charity.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
The charity is the Michael Berry Show Team, so that
will cover Kunda's salary and bonuses for our team, and
we do that with merch and things like that.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
But that was the deal, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Look, this one golf tournament will pay your salary for
the year and give a little money for some bonuses
for our team, and it'll be fun and people will
enjoy it. And we'll also do a concert as well.
But I can handle the concert part with Emily handling
a lot of details. So what I need is a
golf course that wants to host a tournament. Let me
just say this upfront, it's not an opportunity for you
(34:12):
to make money like Trump. I do deals that are
bad for you and good for me because you're going
to get some promos. So email me if you're interested.
