Speaker 1 (02:24):
That Pixere dust line was that Randy Quaid. That reminds
me of that scene. And an officer and a gentleman.
Remember David Keith, who does not get his due for
how good he was in that movie. Everybody remembers that
movie as Richard Gear you know who was originally cast
for that and he turned it down. John Travolta. John
(02:47):
Travolta was at the peak of his one point zero career,
so of course he had a great comeback. Travolta was
offered officer and a gentleman and turned it down to
make another movie. I don't remember what it was, but
it was a junk movie. He had a series of
bad choices, right, He kind of got type cast, and
(03:08):
this was a great opportunity for him to step out
of that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I want you to imagine for a moment, John Travolta
as Mayo nays John Travolta fighting Lou Gossitt Junior. Yes,
it's weird, isn't it. Yeah, that's yeah, that's just out
of place. You know, that's imagining your parents having sex
(03:32):
or something. That's just that's not supposed to happen. Well, anyway,
Travolta is offered that role, turns it down. Big mistake.
Another Richard Gear movie, Richard Gear takes it Okay, Richard
Gears having a moment. Travolta is offered American Jigglow, turns
(03:54):
it down. Richard Gear takes it. Richard Gear is a
made man after those two movies.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, by made man, I mean he can buy all
the Gerbils he wants. I mean he can buy high
dollar Gerbils, the ones with you know, they got the
best manicure, and they'll do you know, they'll they'll do
things on command, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but
you know what happens a dude that's that good looking,
(04:24):
it's got all the money in the world, all the
celebrity in the world. After a while, they go, I'm
gonna do something that nobody can do because I gotta
do that too. Yeah, I guess I don't know it's weird. Yeah,
that's that's a weird deal anyway, David Keith. Back to
David Keith, he doesn't get his due for how good
(04:45):
he was in that movie. So his girl's pregnant and
he loves her, and he realizes he's not cut out
for this. He's doing this for all the wrong reasons.
So he was it. Dr Uh, what's it? What's the
get Marcus' trailer on the line. What's it called? A
(05:05):
little hustle like you? I want to sign up for
this kind of abuse anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:08):

Want is a change talking about flying?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He was talking about character. You sure this claim I've changed.
Speaker 3 (05:18):

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I've been here, I've tried.
Speaker 1 (05:22):

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I gotta quote right.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Then you can forget it. You're out.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Fuck you lord, don't you.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I got a.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Lord to go.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I got the word scene. You remember why the scene
happened because his buddy d RD. And he goes back
in there to say, that guy is an aviator. You
put him back in, you make you make an exception.
So he thinks lou Gosst Jr. Kicked him out. And
(06:21):
only after all of that he disrespects Lugassat Jr. Whole
thing and he says he did it himself. I didn't
do it. And then you have a just profound respect
for lou Gossid Jr. Oh what a scene. But back
to my point, So David Keith, David Keith goes he
(06:44):
rs and he goes to his girl's place and he said,
I quit, and she said, what do you mean quit?
You're pregnant. We're going back to Oklahoma. We're gonna raise
this baby. And he says, I'll get my job back now,
I'll have to start on the floor. But then I
(07:06):
think within a year I can be the night assistant manager.
That line like, and she's going, that's.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Not what I had planned for my life.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Is going back with it, okie, And then she disrespects
him and he swallows it. Ringing. But I don't want
to ruin it for you. But I hadn't seen it
too soon. I don't want to ruin it anyway. There's
a lot I can say about that. That's a that's
a fantastic movie.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Uh, let's go to Terry. Terry, you're on Michael Berry Show.
Welcome to the program sir.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Thanks. I was interested in your discussions about the picket
House yesterday with the minister from from Woodville. We were
just there u two saturdays ago. Now, they do a
little heritage festival once once a year in October, and
we were over there with a bunch of old high
school friends from Beaumont with Brian Babbin, who's congressman there now,
(08:03):
and we aided to pick it out. We all went
to high school together. We're all I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No I interrupted, just leaf Babin's dad, Navy seal. Where'd
you go to high school?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah? Forest Park. We've we've talked about that. We were
all Forest Parker's.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, because I always say the Greenies, which was South
Park and then.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You correct, Yeah, we were we were Trojans, that's right, Trojans. Yeah.
There there's about twelve of us with spouses that get
together a couple of times a year. We started doing
it and we had a combined fiftieth high school graduation
a few years ago when we decided we needed to
see each other more than that, and so we went
(08:45):
over to see Babin within.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
There's certain words people say that I know I'm gonna
like that person. People say couple of. If they say
couple of, I know I'm gonna like them. This is
the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And I gotta have a shower, Yeah, senemaup.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
You after we get off the air to day, go
to the YouTube machine or whatever video sharing service you use.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And look up Burn Gosden Live. There's videos that used
to do this in the seventies. They'd have like a
what I imagine the inside of the Picket House looks like,
and they'd have people just sitting around and paneled walls
maybe a little too oh you know, like Docy Doe
inside a little two story It looked like it's kind
(09:47):
of like the he has set. It's meant to look
like a living room, but it's not a living room.
And you know they have the guy in there and
he'll have his pearl snap and and it's kind of
weird staging, but it's very seventies. It's very that and
they're just kind of sing and everybody kind of sit
there and then the song will be over and then
they'll sing again. And it's not a concert exactly. It's filmed,
(10:10):
but I think it's kind of like the early days
of the camera where you know that mean mugged the camera.
Nobody smiled. Remember you said people are very stern because
you didn't smile. He was taking You're having your picture made,
so you just you'd sing very still and very serious. Well,
it was kind of like that. There's no joy in
the room. But just go back and look, And that is,
(10:32):
for my money, what country music is supposed to look like.
He's got a goose gossage mustache, he's got pot marked face,
he's got busted blood vessels on his nose from drinking
too damn much crowned Royal and coke, and he's got
his hair kind of combed to the side, sort of
(10:55):
George Jones style, but without that awful puffiness on the
on the side because he's had his hair done and
his skin is weathered and he's kind of got that seventies. Look,
you know, people weren't fat like they are today. He
just has a poocy beer belly, and he's got brown
kind of polyester pants that are probably Dicky's brand polyester style. Uh,
(11:20):
they're not a gene exactly, they're kind of a slack
jean thingy. And he's got his pointy toed, high heeled
boots on and he just sits there and sings. That
is what country music is supposed to be to me.
And the people in there, the kind of the perm
and the terrible glasses, and the women are heavy set,
but the men or not. The men all have well,
(11:42):
the men have a little more more a belly. But
the singers in those days, that's the George Jones lift.
They got a little belly, they got no ass, they
got their their their shirt tucked in, and they got
a little belly with no ass and that, and they're
kind of a little bit bloated in the face, and
they have long nails. Every great country music singer of
(12:03):
that era has that vern gosed in. George Jones, look
to him, that's the way they're supposed to look anyway.
So Terry Yeah, y'all go to the Yeah I'm here,
y'all go these twelve couples, y'all all go to the
picket House together.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yes, yes we did. We went to this little festival.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Just you know, the town is like an old, old
style town. It's got the dentist office, doctor's office, to stable,
all that sort of thing, and it's all right there
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's the Heritagelicket House.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, that's Aritige Phillis. That's right, So I think so.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, the wearience took me when I was a kid,
but I cannot recall and my dad doesn't remember things
like this. My mom would have remembered, or my brother
would have remembered, but now I got nobody to ask,
so I don't. I don't know if I've been or not.
I feel like i've been, but I can't remember. I've
been looking online at pictures. It's called Heritage Village in Woodville.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It looks like a pretty cool deal.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It's kind of like a mini Renaissance, you know, as
you was expecting Woodville. It's just it is cool. I
enjoyed it. They've got old instruments from the dentists, and
of course Brian doctor Badman was a dentist there in Woodwell,
and so you got that in the doctor's office and
the post office and a livery stable with a whole
bunch of old carriages from seventeen eighteen hundreds. It was fun.
(13:29):
And then we ate at the Heritage House and you're right.
The restaurant is like that. It's like an old flatboard
inside house that with big open rooms and picnic tables
in it and a window that you take your plates
back to when you're finished, and the foods brought out
family style. And I didn't eat there twenty years ago.
I don't know about the black family that owned it,
(13:51):
but I've eaten there a couple of times in the
last couple of years, and I think the food's great.
It was really good.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's Pennycostals. Now I understand, well.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's that's what you said yesterday. I didn't. I didn't
know that, but uh, they cooked the chicken pretty pretty good.
It's a certainly Texas style fried chicken.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Did you grow up with any pennycostals.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We had a Pentecostal church. Uh, there was a vacant lot. Uh,
a couple of lots away. There was a Pentecostal church
and in the fifties, we had new air conditioning and
they had would have the windows up for their camp
meetings in the summer, and they would beat the back
of the pews with with sticks during the during the singing,
and we would hear that rapping on the on the
back of the wooden pews. Uh. And we'd kind of
(14:36):
sit there and listen to him singing. Like when I
was a kid, that was what.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
My grandmother would refer to as carrying on. And they
were carrying on in Pennycosters are carrying on. They was
down there. We drove past the Pennycostal church and there
was carrying on.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
They were across the street from us.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't want to be quoted for this. This is
I'm going to give you some inside information. Okay, all right,
I grew up with a lot of Pentecostals, and I'm
going to tell you a little something that nobody will
tell you. But it is a fact. It's an absolute fact.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And that is.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
When you get to be about a sophomore in high school,
you start paying attention to Pentecostal girls. And the reason
is because through elementary I went to school all the
way through with through elementary school, they're real shy and demure,
like sister wives. Like they don't they don't talk to
any you know, they don't deal with with society. They
(15:32):
won't be friends with you. Then late elementary, late elementary,
they they might be polite, but they're real shy because
they're not allowed to talk to boys that don't watch
any TV. They got the long hair, they dress like
sister wives, they don't wear any makeup. You cruise on
through middle school that you can be friends with them,
but not friendly. Don't don't hug them or you know,
(15:54):
talk about anything like that, and don't try to flirt
with them or anything like that. Then just about in
high school they start kind of opening up to a
little more conversation. And by sophomore year and definitely by
junior year, they are full blowed, wide open wild, wilder
(16:15):
than the Baptists, the Methodists, we only had a couple
of Catholics. They go full blowed wild and all of
a sudden, it's like this transformation. All of a sudden,
these girls who you didn't notice how pretty they were
because all the other girls were just caked in makeup already,
and all the other girls had perms. This is eighty seven,
(16:36):
eighty eight, eighty nine era. And they had their hair
up in the bun in the front and then the
long hair in the back, and no makeup and dressed
like sister Wise. Then all of a sudden, boom, they
put on some makeup and they start styling their hair
and painting their nails, and you realized, oh my goodness,
(17:01):
that girl almost set a girl's name and I should
not do that. That girl is a knockout. And nobody
knew it. It was like a new girl moving into
the district.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Like Mary and the librarian.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yes, yes, Terry, what did you do for a living?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I'm an insurance agent here in the Woodlands, have been
at it for fifty years.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh you're an insurance agent in the Woodlands now?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah? Oh will you say it like I'm an idiot?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
How we talk? Well, I've talked with you about ten times.
We've talked about Forest Park and West Orange being in
my district, and I wanted to know if you were
from Orange, West Orange or Orangefield and you were surprised.
I knew that so, And I've told you about the
incorporation meeting we had when all that was going on
here in the Woodlands.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Oh yeah, Oh you're in the Woodlands, not Woodville. Okay,
you know what my brain went wrong?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Hold on, wait right ung, Michael Berry, good shoga on
polk Lump. I'm hoping and I bring you ever see
a video of e T singing the song Hank senor
(18:16):
lefty guys of that era. It's all the exact same
camera in the exact same room, at the exact same angle,
within position, in the exact same spot, singing straight on,
no side shots, directly at you, crazy spartan room. They
(18:41):
don't even bother to put anything in there behind them,
so unnaturally they all look exactness. Jd Vance made a
statement to h you can keep et going. I love you.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Jd Vance made a statement to Joe rogan Is in
his interview in their in their discussion, Uh, he said
normal gay guys that that he and Trump are going
to win the normal gay guy vote. I don't know
(19:17):
that anybody's ever made a statement like that that was
running for president or vice president. That is one of
the most conversational ways to address this issue that is
out there when race, sexuality, religion, and those sorts of
(19:41):
things are described by candidates and for that matter, by
the media asking a question or making a statement, it's
always in it in an ikey way. It's always when
in a It's kind of like when you go to
the doctor and they refer to body parts and it
(20:02):
just it's odd, right, you know. The only one doesn't
do that is Mohit Kara. My urologists. Remember, It's like, well,
when the penis is erect. I said, what is this
condition called? And he said, well, when the penis is
erect but it is not straight and it has a
condriacal diversion to the side, that condition can be very painful.
(20:25):
And he didn't make it weird, right, he just was
very conversational. JD. Vance said that I believe President Trump
and I will win the normal gay guy vote. I
have had listeners email me and say, did you hear
that he said that? And then they say, because I'm
(20:47):
a normal gay guy and I'm voting for Trump. Bands. Now,
here's what's important to understand the concept of a normal
gay guy. The normal is a modifier of God. It
(21:11):
could instead it should perhaps instead be gay normal guy.
And here's the reason that's important. If if the normal
gay guy modifies gay guys but you already believe that
gay guys are flamboyant. You know Ted Tim Walt's kind
(21:36):
of guys you know running around Ay all the time,
the kind of people that are at parades, and the
kind of people that are protesting, and the kind of
people that that want that want to piss everybody off.
They go out of their way to make everybody mad.
They do it on purpose. It's their attention seeking. That's
not the typical gay guy, but they have managed to
(21:59):
make you think it is. And they're not happy unless
you hate them. Let's be very clear on that. That's
why everything they do is designed to make you hate them,
because they hate themselves. You're normal gay guy. They don't
want you to hate them. They don't need you to
like them. They don't even need you to tolerate them,
(22:19):
approve of them, coexist or anything else. They'd be just happy,
you don't know. They just want to live a life
like everybody else. And just like being black or an
immigrant or a Jew, a gay guy has an impediment
(22:39):
because you're an outlier. You're not like everybody else. So
you got to worry that in every exchange you have,
somebody's gonna say you know, you know, you're getting along
well with somebody at the office, and you know one
of the ladies meaning well is gonna go, I'm gonna
set you up with a girl. You need a girlfriend,
And then they got to go, look, I'm homo. I
(23:03):
don't want everybody to know, but please don't set me
up with anybody. Thank you. I have a dude I
live with. When jd Vance uttered those words, I hadn't
heard it because I hadn't heard the interview yet. I
started getting emails from people, so I went and listened
to it. Jd Vance has a knack for describing things
(23:28):
that only a writer would have. Most people speak before
they write. Most people don't write at all. You know
who else does this? Marcus the Trump That's why writing
that book came so easily to him. Marcus keeps a
detailed diary and always has since he was eight years old.
He writes a love letter to his wife every night,
(23:48):
puts it on the pillow. He writes. He writes a lot.
He'd rather write than talk. In fact, if you're with him,
his talking is very herky jerky, it's very staccato. It's
the way Himingway writes is how Marcus talks, but his
writing is very fluid flows. Jd. Vance speaks like a writer.
(24:13):
When he made that statement, he took the creep factor
out and he addressed something that very few people have addressed.
And by the way, it's not just the normal gay
guy or the gay normal guy, a normal guy. Right
if you don't think I don't think many people think this.
But if you don't think a guy can be normal
(24:36):
and homo, then you don't realize you have lots of
people that you like in your life that are homo.
They just don't tell you about it. Your friend's son
or you know, the guy at the at the office,
unless they're in a position that you automat. And this
is also true of normal blacks, normal women like Move Forward.
(25:00):
These people have have taken over the identity of these
and that's not the normal guy. The normal people are
voting for Trump. Not secure is Donald Trump his mag
Republican friends people living. Do you ever come to one
of our events. We don't have them much anymore, but
(25:21):
when we do, you should come, because they're few and
far between. I don't ask Chad to come very often
because Chad is a very very active dad. Between coaching
his kids and working out and doing his thing. But
when I do get him to come out, it's a
really special occasion. He's very quiet. Stay in the corner.
(25:42):
He might bring Kay, his son. Stay in the corner.
I have his one beer, which would be his beer
for the week, because he's just like an aestete, he's
like a monk, and he'd be easier to have no beers.
But Chad will have one beer, which to me that
I'd rather eat nothing for forty eight hours then have salad,
(26:03):
because if I have salad, I'm just gonna get angry.
So anyway, if Chad is there, if you ever had
an event, you see Chad, he'll be by himself because
nobody knows who he is because they don't know what
he looks like. And it'll be in the corner. And
if you go up and chat him up, say.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Hey, Chad.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I remember one time Michael said to ask you about
the Aloha Friday song because he said it's really really dirty.
But you got to be a Hawaiian to know what
all those references are. And us Howlees, which is what
they call us, the white people, us how unless you're
not white, if you're not white. Then you can't call
(26:42):
yourself a Howley. You have your own term for what
you want to embrace us. Howllies don't know what all those? Can?
You explain it and he'll explain it to you, and
then you will realize, oh, those are slang words. That's dirty.
It's true. I mean, I'm telling you the absolute truth.
(27:03):
So highlights of today's show ramon for somebody just tuned in.
Call what was the lady's name that called in about
her son, Jason? Huh, Jennifer? How do you remember that?
You creep? See, they don't name girls Jennifer anymore, Like
just one day they go, no more Jennifers. You won't
find a little Jennifer, Like there's none. You know, every
(27:26):
year when my kid's annual comes out or the yearbook
or whatever, I go through the names and I do
this thing, and my wife is so tired of hearing
it because I'll go through and I'll go not a
dad gum Julie, or there's a cup of Julie. There'll
be some Jewish. There's no Jennifers anymore. They don't name
girls Jennifer or Joni. They just don't. They don't name
(27:49):
them Christy, like there were everybody was named Laura, Christy, Jennifer.
This quit this all of a sudden, no more of that.
It's the craziest thing. And I'll go to this whole thing.
My wife will go. How many times do I have
to remind you, I grew up with Saraswati's and surveyahs
(28:13):
and none of that does. Actually it's not true. She's
the only none of that you'll ever meet, and Anita's
and Aquila's and Rouchi does, and she'll because, oh, you're right, Okay,
I get the point. But I'm just telling you. When
I was in school, little girls were named Jennifer and
Julie and Laura and things were going great. And I
(28:36):
don't know if not naming them that anymore is what
ruined everything, but it certainly didn't help. You got all
these new fangled names. It can't be good. That's why
they all need therapy and attention, drugs and everything else.
That's the problem. There therein lies the problem. I'm craving
(28:57):
picket house right now, sobad. I'm just gonna be completely honest.
I am craving the picket house so bad right now.
I'm scared now that when I go, it's not gonna
be as good as I hoped it would be. And
I'm gonna end up blaming the Pentecostals. And I don't
know if the blacks were as good. What if the
blacks still owned it. We go back in a time
machine and we go in there and it's not good,
(29:18):
then I'm not gonna say, well, it's the black's fault
for two reasons. Number one, you can't blame black people.
And number two, nobody told me that the Pennycostals had
ruined it and it's not as good as the blacks.
You know, told me that. It's Arthur ce Berger and
I think he's pity. Yeah, I think he's Pentecostal. And
(29:41):
you know he's the uncle of that little girl that
went on the voice. He'll tell you about it every
single time, every email. He'll tell you, remember my daughter,
my niece, is that little girl from Woodville. Because that's
the two things people remember about Woodville is the picket
house and that little girl that went on the voice.
That's the beauty of a small town. Like, oh, you're
(30:02):
from Sea Lee.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Eric Dickerson, Yeah, he left in eighty three or whatever.
He left in eighty. He hadn't been there in forty four.
I don't think he's ever even driven through since then.
Well I know, oh you're from Dickinson andre Ware. Yeah,
we also have heartbreakers. But that was my next thing.
I was going to tell you. It was heartbreakers. Anyway,
(30:24):
back to the point, last day of early vote, Please
go early vote today. Jd Vance's point. I've been thinking
about this, the normal gay guy that he referred to.
People have an impression of gaze that's wrong, and because
of this, they say things that alien eight gaze. We
(30:45):
need the gaze. People have an impression of black people
that's mostly wrong. But because that is what's foisted on you,
then you because you don't know you know these people,
then you have this impression of people, so you react
(31:07):
without knowing them. We all do it. It's very natural.
This is what the people up above want. They want
you to be divided. It's a divide and conqueror. That's
what the British did to the Indians. They turned one
against another. They turned the knies on against the potentate,
(31:29):
against the pundit, and they had the Gujratis and the
Malaialis and the Telugus all fighting each other. That way
they could they could control them. India was never united
under one flag until the British managed to do it. Italy,
(31:50):
for that matter, was not one nation the way we
think of it. You had, you had Naples, the Napolitanos,
you had, the Romans, you had the Tuscans, you had,
but this idea of uniting, they don't want you united.
(32:12):
And my point in all of this is you're gonna
be surprised. You don't have a way to know the
gay vote, but we do have a way to know
the black vote. You're gonna be surprised how many blacks
vote for Trump. Now, look, it's not gonna be over
fifty percent, but it could be thirty. That's it ambitious.
(32:38):
And so you might go, oh, Michael, what are you
getting excited about. Do you know what it normally normally is?
Do know how hard it is for a black man
to vote for Trump? And admit to it. You can
vote for Trump and nobody looks at nobody's gonna say
to you. None of the people you care about are
gonna say you're a bad person. Black people have to
do that. Young college kids, they're gonna have their classmates
(32:59):
on their awful people. Be bold, be bold. Take somebody
in the poll today. It's early voting today. Do something
for yourself. Give somebody a positive affirmation today, like a
principal Patterson did. Tell somebody you love them, Tell somebody
you appreciate them and tell them why. And say something
(33:20):
nice to your spouse. Yeah, stop being an ass to
the person you were supposed to love.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Let's go for it. You ain't got no job, You're
young and you got your hail. What do you want
with the job?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I believe we drove around all day and there's not
a single job in this town. There is nothing, not
a zecond. Yeah, unless you want to work forty hours
a week. May shit quit that same job?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Man, Hey, man, I wish I could man stuff I equipment.
The whole place would fall apart without man. I'm need
it there, man.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Responsibility is a heavy responsibility. Man, I don't like my job,
and I don't think I'm gonna go anymore. He's not
gonna go?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, won't you get fired? I don't know, but I
really don't like it and I'm not gonna got.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Up.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
The older boy Blessed Soul, is preparing for his career.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Colic Carnival gotta be proud.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh yeah yeah. Last season he was a drickty dust
spreader on a Teltic world. He thinks that maybe next
year I'll be guessing people's waiter marking for the act woman.
I need a different job.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm having real trouble in a confine indoor space.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
How do you feel about working outdoors?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
What else do you have?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I'm gonna lose my job, Pilot, and I just calm down.
I don't know fo I killed the boss. You think
they're not gonna fire me for a thing like that?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
That Pixere dust line was that Randy Quaid. That reminds
me of that scene. And an officer and a gentleman.
Remember David Keith, who does not get his due for
how good he was in that movie. Everybody remembers that
movie as Richard Gear you know who was originally cast
for that and he turned it down. John Travolta. John
(02:47):
Travolta was at the peak of his one point zero career,
so of course he had a great comeback. Travolta was
offered officer and a gentleman and turned it down to
make another movie. I don't remember what it was, but
it was a junk movie. He had a series of
bad choices, right, He kind of got type cast, and
(03:08):
this was a great opportunity for him to step out
of that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I want you to imagine for a moment, John Travolta
as Mayo nays John Travolta fighting Lou Gossitt Junior. Yes,
it's weird, isn't it. Yeah, that's yeah, that's just out
of place. You know, that's imagining your parents having sex
(03:32):
or something. That's just that's not supposed to happen. Well, anyway,
Travolta is offered that role, turns it down. Big mistake.
Another Richard Gear movie, Richard Gear takes it Okay, Richard
Gears having a moment. Travolta is offered American Jigglow, turns
(03:54):
it down. Richard Gear takes it. Richard Gear is a
made man after those two movies.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, by made man, I mean he can buy all
the Gerbils he wants. I mean he can buy high
dollar Gerbils, the ones with you know, they got the
best manicure, and they'll do you know, they'll they'll do
things on command, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but
you know what happens a dude that's that good looking,
(04:24):
it's got all the money in the world, all the
celebrity in the world. After a while, they go, I'm
gonna do something that nobody can do because I gotta
do that too. Yeah, I guess I don't know it's weird. Yeah,
that's that's a weird deal anyway, David Keith. Back to
David Keith, he doesn't get his due for how good
(04:45):
he was in that movie. So his girl's pregnant and
he loves her, and he realizes he's not cut out
for this. He's doing this for all the wrong reasons.
So he was it. Dr Uh, what's it? What's the
get Marcus' trailer on the line. What's it called? A
(05:05):
little hustle like you? I want to sign up for
this kind of abuse anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I wanna fly jets, sir. My grandmama wants to fly jets.
Want is a change talking about flying?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He was talking about character. You sure this claim I've changed.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I've changed.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I've been here, I've tried.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Served just palls up your after a little bit. You
just shined it up. Tell me what I want to hear.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I want your do off, sir. I want your quote.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Spell it, d oh, I gotta quest Yeah, then you
can be free.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And you and your daddy can get drunk and go
hal chasing together.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Huh, don't serve the off.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I gotta quote right.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Then you can forget it. You're out.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Fuck you lord, don't you.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I got a.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Lord to go.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I got the word scene. You remember why the scene
happened because his buddy d RD. And he goes back
in there to say, that guy is an aviator. You
put him back in, you make you make an exception.
So he thinks lou Gosst Jr. Kicked him out. And
(06:21):
only after all of that he disrespects Lugassat Jr. Whole
thing and he says he did it himself. I didn't
do it. And then you have a just profound respect
for lou Gossid Jr. Oh what a scene. But back
to my point, So David Keith, David Keith goes he
(06:44):
rs and he goes to his girl's place and he said,
I quit, and she said, what do you mean quit?
You're pregnant. We're going back to Oklahoma. We're gonna raise
this baby. And he says, I'll get my job back now,
I'll have to start on the floor. But then I
(07:06):
think within a year I can be the night assistant manager.
That line like, and she's going, that's.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Not what I had planned for my life.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Is going back with it, okie, And then she disrespects
him and he swallows it. Ringing. But I don't want
to ruin it for you. But I hadn't seen it
too soon. I don't want to ruin it anyway. There's
a lot I can say about that. That's a that's
a fantastic movie.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Uh, let's go to Terry. Terry, you're on Michael Berry Show.
Welcome to the program sir.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Thanks. I was interested in your discussions about the picket
House yesterday with the minister from from Woodville. We were
just there u two saturdays ago. Now, they do a
little heritage festival once once a year in October, and
we were over there with a bunch of old high
school friends from Beaumont with Brian Babbin, who's congressman there now,
(08:03):
and we aided to pick it out. We all went
to high school together. We're all I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No I interrupted, just leaf Babin's dad, Navy seal. Where'd
you go to high school?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah? Forest Park. We've we've talked about that. We were
all Forest Parker's.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, because I always say the Greenies, which was South
Park and then.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You correct, Yeah, we were we were Trojans, that's right, Trojans. Yeah.
There there's about twelve of us with spouses that get
together a couple of times a year. We started doing
it and we had a combined fiftieth high school graduation
a few years ago when we decided we needed to
see each other more than that, and so we went
(08:45):
over to see Babin within.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
There's certain words people say that I know I'm gonna
like that person. People say couple of. If they say
couple of, I know I'm gonna like them. This is
the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And I gotta have a shower, Yeah, senemaup.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
You after we get off the air to day, go
to the YouTube machine or whatever video sharing service you use.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And look up Burn Gosden Live. There's videos that used
to do this in the seventies. They'd have like a
what I imagine the inside of the Picket House looks like,
and they'd have people just sitting around and paneled walls
maybe a little too oh you know, like Docy Doe
inside a little two story It looked like it's kind
(09:47):
of like the he has set. It's meant to look
like a living room, but it's not a living room.
And you know they have the guy in there and
he'll have his pearl snap and and it's kind of
weird staging, but it's very seventies. It's very that and
they're just kind of sing and everybody kind of sit
there and then the song will be over and then
they'll sing again. And it's not a concert exactly. It's filmed,
(10:10):
but I think it's kind of like the early days
of the camera where you know that mean mugged the camera.
Nobody smiled. Remember you said people are very stern because
you didn't smile. He was taking You're having your picture made,
so you just you'd sing very still and very serious. Well,
it was kind of like that. There's no joy in
the room. But just go back and look, And that is,
(10:32):
for my money, what country music is supposed to look like.
He's got a goose gossage mustache, he's got pot marked face,
he's got busted blood vessels on his nose from drinking
too damn much crowned Royal and coke, and he's got
his hair kind of combed to the side, sort of
(10:55):
George Jones style, but without that awful puffiness on the
on the side because he's had his hair done and
his skin is weathered and he's kind of got that seventies. Look,
you know, people weren't fat like they are today. He
just has a poocy beer belly, and he's got brown
kind of polyester pants that are probably Dicky's brand polyester style. Uh,
(11:20):
they're not a gene exactly, they're kind of a slack
jean thingy. And he's got his pointy toed, high heeled
boots on and he just sits there and sings. That
is what country music is supposed to be to me.
And the people in there, the kind of the perm
and the terrible glasses, and the women are heavy set,
but the men or not. The men all have well,
(11:42):
the men have a little more more a belly. But
the singers in those days, that's the George Jones lift.
They got a little belly, they got no ass, they
got their their their shirt tucked in, and they got
a little belly with no ass and that, and they're
kind of a little bit bloated in the face, and
they have long nails. Every great country music singer of
(12:03):
that era has that vern gosed in. George Jones, look
to him, that's the way they're supposed to look anyway.
So Terry Yeah, y'all go to the Yeah I'm here,
y'all go these twelve couples, y'all all go to the
picket House together.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yes, yes we did. We went to this little festival.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Just you know, the town is like an old, old
style town. It's got the dentist office, doctor's office, to stable,
all that sort of thing, and it's all right there
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's the Heritagelicket House.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, that's Aritige Phillis. That's right, So I think so.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, the wearience took me when I was a kid,
but I cannot recall and my dad doesn't remember things
like this. My mom would have remembered, or my brother
would have remembered, but now I got nobody to ask,
so I don't. I don't know if I've been or not.
I feel like i've been, but I can't remember. I've
been looking online at pictures. It's called Heritage Village in Woodville.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It looks like a pretty cool deal.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It's kind of like a mini Renaissance, you know, as
you was expecting Woodville. It's just it is cool. I
enjoyed it. They've got old instruments from the dentists, and
of course Brian doctor Badman was a dentist there in Woodwell,
and so you got that in the doctor's office and
the post office and a livery stable with a whole
bunch of old carriages from seventeen eighteen hundreds. It was fun.
(13:29):
And then we ate at the Heritage House and you're right.
The restaurant is like that. It's like an old flatboard
inside house that with big open rooms and picnic tables
in it and a window that you take your plates
back to when you're finished, and the foods brought out
family style. And I didn't eat there twenty years ago.
I don't know about the black family that owned it,
(13:51):
but I've eaten there a couple of times in the
last couple of years, and I think the food's great.
It was really good.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's Pennycostals. Now I understand, well.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's that's what you said yesterday. I didn't. I didn't
know that, but uh, they cooked the chicken pretty pretty good.
It's a certainly Texas style fried chicken.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Did you grow up with any pennycostals.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We had a Pentecostal church. Uh, there was a vacant lot. Uh,
a couple of lots away. There was a Pentecostal church
and in the fifties, we had new air conditioning and
they had would have the windows up for their camp
meetings in the summer, and they would beat the back
of the pews with with sticks during the during the singing,
and we would hear that rapping on the on the
back of the wooden pews. Uh. And we'd kind of
(14:36):
sit there and listen to him singing. Like when I
was a kid, that was what.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
My grandmother would refer to as carrying on. And they
were carrying on in Pennycosters are carrying on. They was
down there. We drove past the Pennycostal church and there
was carrying on.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
They were across the street from us.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't want to be quoted for this. This is
I'm going to give you some inside information. Okay, all right,
I grew up with a lot of Pentecostals, and I'm
going to tell you a little something that nobody will
tell you. But it is a fact. It's an absolute fact.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
And that is.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
When you get to be about a sophomore in high school,
you start paying attention to Pentecostal girls. And the reason
is because through elementary I went to school all the
way through with through elementary school, they're real shy and demure,
like sister wives. Like they don't they don't talk to
any you know, they don't deal with with society. They
(15:32):
won't be friends with you. Then late elementary, late elementary,
they they might be polite, but they're real shy because
they're not allowed to talk to boys that don't watch
any TV. They got the long hair, they dress like
sister wives, they don't wear any makeup. You cruise on
through middle school that you can be friends with them,
but not friendly. Don't don't hug them or you know,
(15:54):
talk about anything like that, and don't try to flirt
with them or anything like that. Then just about in
high school they start kind of opening up to a
little more conversation. And by sophomore year and definitely by
junior year, they are full blowed, wide open wild, wilder
(16:15):
than the Baptists, the Methodists, we only had a couple
of Catholics. They go full blowed wild and all of
a sudden, it's like this transformation. All of a sudden,
these girls who you didn't notice how pretty they were
because all the other girls were just caked in makeup already,
and all the other girls had perms. This is eighty seven,
(16:36):
eighty eight, eighty nine era. And they had their hair
up in the bun in the front and then the
long hair in the back, and no makeup and dressed
like sister Wise. Then all of a sudden, boom, they
put on some makeup and they start styling their hair
and painting their nails, and you realized, oh my goodness,
(17:01):
that girl almost set a girl's name and I should
not do that. That girl is a knockout. And nobody
knew it. It was like a new girl moving into
the district.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Like Mary and the librarian.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yes, yes, Terry, what did you do for a living?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I'm an insurance agent here in the Woodlands, have been
at it for fifty years.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh you're an insurance agent in the Woodlands now?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah? Oh will you say it like I'm an idiot?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
How we talk? Well, I've talked with you about ten times.
We've talked about Forest Park and West Orange being in
my district, and I wanted to know if you were
from Orange, West Orange or Orangefield and you were surprised.
I knew that so, And I've told you about the
incorporation meeting we had when all that was going on
here in the Woodlands.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Oh yeah, Oh you're in the Woodlands, not Woodville. Okay,
you know what my brain went wrong?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Hold on, wait right ung, Michael Berry, good shoga on
polk Lump. I'm hoping and I bring you ever see
a video of e T singing the song Hank senor
(18:16):
lefty guys of that era. It's all the exact same
camera in the exact same room, at the exact same angle,
within position, in the exact same spot, singing straight on,
no side shots, directly at you, crazy spartan room. They
(18:41):
don't even bother to put anything in there behind them,
so unnaturally they all look exactness. Jd Vance made a
statement to h you can keep et going. I love you.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Jd Vance made a statement to Joe rogan Is in
his interview in their in their discussion, Uh, he said
normal gay guys that that he and Trump are going
to win the normal gay guy vote. I don't know
(19:17):
that anybody's ever made a statement like that that was
running for president or vice president. That is one of
the most conversational ways to address this issue that is
out there when race, sexuality, religion, and those sorts of
(19:41):
things are described by candidates and for that matter, by
the media asking a question or making a statement, it's
always in it in an ikey way. It's always when
in a It's kind of like when you go to
the doctor and they refer to body parts and it
(20:02):
just it's odd, right, you know. The only one doesn't
do that is Mohit Kara. My urologists. Remember, It's like, well,
when the penis is erect. I said, what is this
condition called? And he said, well, when the penis is
erect but it is not straight and it has a
condriacal diversion to the side, that condition can be very painful.
(20:25):
And he didn't make it weird, right, he just was
very conversational. JD. Vance said that I believe President Trump
and I will win the normal gay guy vote. I
have had listeners email me and say, did you hear
that he said that? And then they say, because I'm
(20:47):
a normal gay guy and I'm voting for Trump. Bands. Now,
here's what's important to understand the concept of a normal
gay guy. The normal is a modifier of God. It
(21:11):
could instead it should perhaps instead be gay normal guy.
And here's the reason that's important. If if the normal
gay guy modifies gay guys but you already believe that
gay guys are flamboyant. You know Ted Tim Walt's kind
(21:36):
of guys you know running around Ay all the time,
the kind of people that are at parades, and the
kind of people that are protesting, and the kind of
people that that want that want to piss everybody off.
They go out of their way to make everybody mad.
They do it on purpose. It's their attention seeking. That's
not the typical gay guy, but they have managed to
(21:59):
make you think it is. And they're not happy unless
you hate them. Let's be very clear on that. That's
why everything they do is designed to make you hate them,
because they hate themselves. You're normal gay guy. They don't
want you to hate them. They don't need you to
like them. They don't even need you to tolerate them,
(22:19):
approve of them, coexist or anything else. They'd be just happy,
you don't know. They just want to live a life
like everybody else. And just like being black or an
immigrant or a Jew, a gay guy has an impediment
(22:39):
because you're an outlier. You're not like everybody else. So
you got to worry that in every exchange you have,
somebody's gonna say you know, you know, you're getting along
well with somebody at the office, and you know one
of the ladies meaning well is gonna go, I'm gonna
set you up with a girl. You need a girlfriend,
And then they got to go, look, I'm homo. I
(23:03):
don't want everybody to know, but please don't set me
up with anybody. Thank you. I have a dude I
live with. When jd Vance uttered those words, I hadn't
heard it because I hadn't heard the interview yet. I
started getting emails from people, so I went and listened
to it. Jd Vance has a knack for describing things
(23:28):
that only a writer would have. Most people speak before
they write. Most people don't write at all. You know
who else does this? Marcus the Trump That's why writing
that book came so easily to him. Marcus keeps a
detailed diary and always has since he was eight years old.
He writes a love letter to his wife every night,
(23:48):
puts it on the pillow. He writes. He writes a lot.
He'd rather write than talk. In fact, if you're with him,
his talking is very herky jerky, it's very staccato. It's
the way Himingway writes is how Marcus talks, but his
writing is very fluid flows. Jd. Vance speaks like a writer.
(24:13):
When he made that statement, he took the creep factor
out and he addressed something that very few people have addressed.
And by the way, it's not just the normal gay
guy or the gay normal guy, a normal guy. Right
if you don't think I don't think many people think this.
But if you don't think a guy can be normal
(24:36):
and homo, then you don't realize you have lots of
people that you like in your life that are homo.
They just don't tell you about it. Your friend's son
or you know, the guy at the at the office,
unless they're in a position that you automat. And this
is also true of normal blacks, normal women like Move Forward.
(25:00):
These people have have taken over the identity of these
and that's not the normal guy. The normal people are
voting for Trump. Not secure is Donald Trump his mag
Republican friends people living. Do you ever come to one
of our events. We don't have them much anymore, but
(25:21):
when we do, you should come, because they're few and
far between. I don't ask Chad to come very often
because Chad is a very very active dad. Between coaching
his kids and working out and doing his thing. But
when I do get him to come out, it's a
really special occasion. He's very quiet. Stay in the corner.
(25:42):
He might bring Kay, his son. Stay in the corner.
I have his one beer, which would be his beer
for the week, because he's just like an aestete, he's
like a monk, and he'd be easier to have no beers.
But Chad will have one beer, which to me that
I'd rather eat nothing for forty eight hours then have salad,
(26:03):
because if I have salad, I'm just gonna get angry.
So anyway, if Chad is there, if you ever had
an event, you see Chad, he'll be by himself because
nobody knows who he is because they don't know what
he looks like. And it'll be in the corner. And
if you go up and chat him up, say.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Hey, Chad.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I remember one time Michael said to ask you about
the Aloha Friday song because he said it's really really dirty.
But you got to be a Hawaiian to know what
all those references are. And us Howlees, which is what
they call us, the white people, us how unless you're
not white, if you're not white. Then you can't call
(26:42):
yourself a Howley. You have your own term for what
you want to embrace us. Howllies don't know what all those? Can?
You explain it and he'll explain it to you, and
then you will realize, oh, those are slang words. That's dirty.
It's true. I mean, I'm telling you the absolute truth.
(27:03):
So highlights of today's show ramon for somebody just tuned in.
Call what was the lady's name that called in about
her son, Jason? Huh, Jennifer? How do you remember that?
You creep? See, they don't name girls Jennifer anymore, Like
just one day they go, no more Jennifers. You won't
find a little Jennifer, Like there's none. You know, every
(27:26):
year when my kid's annual comes out or the yearbook
or whatever, I go through the names and I do
this thing, and my wife is so tired of hearing
it because I'll go through and I'll go not a
dad gum Julie, or there's a cup of Julie. There'll
be some Jewish. There's no Jennifers anymore. They don't name
girls Jennifer or Joni. They just don't. They don't name
(27:49):
them Christy, like there were everybody was named Laura, Christy, Jennifer.
This quit this all of a sudden, no more of that.
It's the craziest thing. And I'll go to this whole thing.
My wife will go. How many times do I have
to remind you, I grew up with Saraswati's and surveyahs
(28:13):
and none of that does. Actually it's not true. She's
the only none of that you'll ever meet, and Anita's
and Aquila's and Rouchi does, and she'll because, oh, you're right, Okay,
I get the point. But I'm just telling you. When
I was in school, little girls were named Jennifer and
Julie and Laura and things were going great. And I
(28:36):
don't know if not naming them that anymore is what
ruined everything, but it certainly didn't help. You got all
these new fangled names. It can't be good. That's why
they all need therapy and attention, drugs and everything else.
That's the problem. There therein lies the problem. I'm craving
(28:57):
picket house right now, sobad. I'm just gonna be completely honest.
I am craving the picket house so bad right now.
I'm scared now that when I go, it's not gonna
be as good as I hoped it would be. And
I'm gonna end up blaming the Pentecostals. And I don't
know if the blacks were as good. What if the
blacks still owned it. We go back in a time
machine and we go in there and it's not good,
(29:18):
then I'm not gonna say, well, it's the black's fault
for two reasons. Number one, you can't blame black people.
And number two, nobody told me that the Pennycostals had
ruined it and it's not as good as the blacks.
You know, told me that. It's Arthur ce Berger and
I think he's pity. Yeah, I think he's Pentecostal. And
(29:41):
you know he's the uncle of that little girl that
went on the voice. He'll tell you about it every
single time, every email. He'll tell you, remember my daughter,
my niece, is that little girl from Woodville. Because that's
the two things people remember about Woodville is the picket
house and that little girl that went on the voice.
That's the beauty of a small town. Like, oh, you're
(30:02):
from Sea Lee.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Eric Dickerson, Yeah, he left in eighty three or whatever.
He left in eighty. He hadn't been there in forty four.
I don't think he's ever even driven through since then.
Well I know, oh you're from Dickinson andre Ware. Yeah,
we also have heartbreakers. But that was my next thing.
I was going to tell you. It was heartbreakers. Anyway,
(30:24):
back to the point, last day of early vote, Please
go early vote today. Jd Vance's point. I've been thinking
about this, the normal gay guy that he referred to.
People have an impression of gaze that's wrong, and because
of this, they say things that alien eight gaze. We
(30:45):
need the gaze. People have an impression of black people
that's mostly wrong. But because that is what's foisted on you,
then you because you don't know you know these people,
then you have this impression of people, so you react
(31:07):
without knowing them. We all do it. It's very natural.
This is what the people up above want. They want
you to be divided. It's a divide and conqueror. That's
what the British did to the Indians. They turned one
against another. They turned the knies on against the potentate,
(31:29):
against the pundit, and they had the Gujratis and the
Malaialis and the Telugus all fighting each other. That way
they could they could control them. India was never united
under one flag until the British managed to do it. Italy,
(31:50):
for that matter, was not one nation the way we
think of it. You had, you had Naples, the Napolitanos,
you had, the Romans, you had the Tuscans, you had,
but this idea of uniting, they don't want you united.
(32:12):
And my point in all of this is you're gonna
be surprised. You don't have a way to know the
gay vote, but we do have a way to know
the black vote. You're gonna be surprised how many blacks
vote for Trump. Now, look, it's not gonna be over
fifty percent, but it could be thirty. That's it ambitious.
(32:38):
And so you might go, oh, Michael, what are you
getting excited about. Do you know what it normally normally is?
Do know how hard it is for a black man
to vote for Trump? And admit to it. You can
vote for Trump and nobody looks at nobody's gonna say
to you. None of the people you care about are
gonna say you're a bad person. Black people have to
do that. Young college kids, they're gonna have their classmates
(32:59):
on their awful people. Be bold, be bold. Take somebody
in the poll today. It's early voting today. Do something
for yourself. Give somebody a positive affirmation today, like a
principal Patterson did. Tell somebody you love them, Tell somebody
you appreciate them and tell them why. And say something
(33:20):
nice to your spouse. Yeah, stop being an ass to
the person you were supposed to love.
