Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very Show is on the air. 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? I
(00:29):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
May shit quit that same job? Man, Hey, man, I
wish I could man stuff I equipment. The whole place would
fall apart without man.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I'm need it there, man.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Responsibility is a heavy responsibility.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Man, I don't like my job, and I don't think
I'm gonna go anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He's not gonna go?
Speaker 1 (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 3 (01:04):
Up.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
The older boy, Blessed Soul, is preparing for his career.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Colic Carnival gotta be proud. Oh yeah yeah. Last season
he was a drickty dust spreader on a Celtic 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 3 (01:29):
I'm having real trouble in a confined indoor space.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
How do you feel about working outdoors?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
What else do you have?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I'm gonna lose my job, Pilot, and I just calm down.
I don't know, fool 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 2 (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 2 (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. I wanna fly jets, sir.
My grandmama wants to fly jets. Want is a change
talking about flying? He was talking about character. You sure
this clean? I've changed.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I've changed.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've been here, I've tried served.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Just paw us up your abs a little bit. You
just shined it up. Tell me what I want to hear.
I want your do off, sir. I want your quote.
Spell it, d oh, I gotta quest Yeah, then you

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I gotta quote right.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Then you can forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You're out.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Fuck you lord, don't you. I got a lord to go.
I got the word scene. You remember why the scene
happened because his buddy d RD. And he goes back
(06:09):
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
only after all of that he disrespects lu Gossat Jr.
Whole thing and he says he did it himself. I
(06:29):
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 rs and he goes to his girl's place and
he said, I quit, and she said, what do you
(06:51):
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 think within a year I can be
the night assistant manager. That line like, and she's going,
(07:12):
that's not what I had planned for my life. 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 mean, 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
(07:33):
a fantastic movie.
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Sir, 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
(08:02):
there now, and we aided to pick it out. We
all went to high school together. We're all I'm sorry,
go ahead, I.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Interrupted just Leif Babin's dad, Navy seal. Where'd you go
to high school?
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 (09:05):
I gotta have a shower, Yeah, sinema And.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
After we get off the air to day, go to
the YouTube machine or whatever video sharing service you use
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,
(09:39):
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
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
(10:01):
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,
but I think it's kind of like the early days
of the camera where you know, they 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,
(10:21):
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,
for my money, what country music is supposed to look like.
He's got a goose gossage mustache, he's got pot marked face,
(10:44):
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
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
(11:06):
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, they're not a gene exactly, They're kind
of a slack jean thingy. And he's got his pointy toed,
(11:27):
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
the men have a little more more a belly, but
the singers in those days, that's the George Jones lift.
(11:47):
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
that era has that vern gosed in George Jones look
to him, that's the way they're supposed to look anyway.
(12:09):
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 2 (12:22):
Yes, yes we did. We went to this little festival.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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, right.
(13:03):
It looks like a pretty cool deal.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 2 (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 2 (14:51):
They were across the street from us.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't want to be quoted for this. This is
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.
And that is when you get to be about a
sophomore in high school, you start paying attention to Pentecostal girls.
(15:17):
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 won't be friends with you. Then
late elementary, late elementary, they they might be polite, but
(15:38):
they're real shy because they're not allowed to talk to boys.
They 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, talk about anything like that, and don't
try to flirt with them or anything like that. Then
(15:59):
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 than the Baptists, the Methodists, we only
had a couple of Catholics. They go full blowed wild,
(16:22):
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 eighty eight eighty nine era. And
they had their hair up in the bun in the
(16:42):
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, that girl almost set a girl's name
(17:02):
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 2 (17:10):
Like Mary and the librarian.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yes, yes, Terry. What did you do for a living.
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Now, yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah? Will you say it like I'm an idiot? How
we talk?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
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? Yeah, hold on,
wait right ung Michael Berry good shouga on polk Lump.
I'm hoping and I bring you Ever see a video
(18:09):
of E T singing the song Hank Senior 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,
(18:33):
directly at you, crazy spartan room. They don't even bother
to put anything in there behind them, so unnaturally they
all look exactness. Jd Vance made a statement to uh,
(18:54):
you can keep et going. I love you.
Speaker 2 (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
it's kind of like when you go to the doctor
and they refer to body parts and it just it's odd, right,
(20:04):
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. And he didn't make it weird, right,
(20:27):
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 a normal gay guy and I'm voting for
(20:50):
Trump vans. Now, here's what's important to understand the concept
of a normal gay guy. The normal is a modifier
of God. It could instead it should perhaps instead be
(21:15):
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 of guys you know, running around Ay
(21:38):
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
(21:59):
to 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, approve of them, coexist or anything else. They'd
(22:23):
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 because you're an outlier. You're not like
everybody else. So you got to worry that in every
(22:45):
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 don't want everybody to know, but please don't set
me up with anybody. Thank you. I have a dude
(23:07):
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 that only a writer would have. Most people speak
(23:33):
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, puts it on the pillow. He writes. He
writes a lot. He'd rather write than talk. In fact,
(23:55):
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. When he made that statement,
(24:16):
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 and homo, then
(24:37):
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 wo These people have
(25:01):
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 when we do, you
(25:22):
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. He might bring Kay,
(25:43):
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, because if I
have salad, I'm just gonna get angry. So anyway, if
(26:07):
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 2 (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. So highlights of today's show ramon for somebody
(27:06):
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 year when my kid's annual comes out or the
(27:29):
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 them Christy like there were everybody was named Laura, Christy, Jennifer.
(27:56):
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
and none of that does. Actually it's not true. She's
(28:16):
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
don't know if not naming them that anymore is what
(28:38):
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
picket house right now sobad. I'm just gonna be completely honest.
(29:00):
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,
then I'm not gonna say, well, it's the black's fault
(29:21):
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. Oh. 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, back to the point, last
(30:27):
day to 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 need the gaze. People have
(30:48):
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 without knowing them. We
all do it. It's very natural. This is what the
(31:12):
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 against the pundit, and
they had the Gujratis and the Malaialis and the Telugus
(31:36):
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, for that matter,
was not one nation the way we think of it.
You had, you had Naples, the Napolitanos, you had, the Romans,
(32:01):
you had the Tuscans, you had, but this idea of uniting,
they don't want you united. 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
(32:22):
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. 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
(32:44):
for a black man to vote for Trump? And admit
to it. You can vote for Trump and nobody looks.
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 on their awful people be bold. Be bold.
Take somebody in the poll today. It's early voting today.
(33:07):
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 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. 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? I
(00:29):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
May shit quit that same job? Man, Hey, man, I
wish I could man stuff I equipment. The whole place would
fall apart without man.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I'm need it there, man.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Responsibility is a heavy responsibility.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Man, I don't like my job, and I don't think
I'm gonna go anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He's not gonna go?
Speaker 1 (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 3 (01:04):
Up.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
The older boy, Blessed Soul, is preparing for his career.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Colic Carnival gotta be proud. Oh yeah yeah. Last season
he was a drickty dust spreader on a Celtic 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 3 (01:29):
I'm having real trouble in a confined indoor space.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
How do you feel about working outdoors?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
What else do you have?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I'm gonna lose my job, Pilot, and I just calm down.
I don't know, fool 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 2 (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 2 (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. I wanna fly jets, sir.
My grandmama wants to fly jets. Want is a change
talking about flying? He was talking about character. You sure
this clean? I've changed.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I've changed.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've been here, I've tried served.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Just paw us up your abs a little bit. You
just shined it up. Tell me what I want to hear.
I want your do off, sir. I want your quote.
Spell it, d oh, I gotta quest Yeah, then you
can be free and you and your daddy can get
drunk and go hal chasing together. Huh, don't serve the off.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I gotta quote right.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Then you can forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You're out.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Fuck you lord, don't you. I got a lord to go.
I got the word scene. You remember why the scene
happened because his buddy d RD. And he goes back
(06:09):
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
only after all of that he disrespects lu Gossat Jr.
Whole thing and he says he did it himself. I
(06:29):
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 rs and he goes to his girl's place and
he said, I quit, and she said, what do you
(06:51):
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 think within a year I can be
the night assistant manager. That line like, and she's going,
(07:12):
that's not what I had planned for my life. 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 mean, 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
(07:33):
a fantastic movie.
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Sir, 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
(08:02):
there now, and we aided to pick it out. We
all went to high school together. We're all I'm sorry,
go ahead, I.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Interrupted just Leif Babin's dad, Navy seal. Where'd you go
to high school?
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 (09:05):
I gotta have a shower, Yeah, sinema And.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
After we get off the air to day, go to
the YouTube machine or whatever video sharing service you use
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,
(09:39):
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
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
(10:01):
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,
but I think it's kind of like the early days
of the camera where you know, they 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,
(10:21):
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,
for my money, what country music is supposed to look like.
He's got a goose gossage mustache, he's got pot marked face,
(10:44):
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
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
(11:06):
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, they're not a gene exactly, They're kind
of a slack jean thingy. And he's got his pointy toed,
(11:27):
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
the men have a little more more a belly, but
the singers in those days, that's the George Jones lift.
(11:47):
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
that era has that vern gosed in George Jones look
to him, that's the way they're supposed to look anyway.
(12:09):
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 2 (12:22):
Yes, yes we did. We went to this little festival.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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, right.
(13:03):
It looks like a pretty cool deal.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (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 2 (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 2 (14:51):
They were across the street from us.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't want to be quoted for this. This is
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.
And that is when you get to be about a
sophomore in high school, you start paying attention to Pentecostal girls.
(15:17):
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 won't be friends with you. Then
late elementary, late elementary, they they might be polite, but
(15:38):
they're real shy because they're not allowed to talk to boys.
They 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, talk about anything like that, and don't
try to flirt with them or anything like that. Then
(15:59):
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 than the Baptists, the Methodists, we only
had a couple of Catholics. They go full blowed wild,
(16:22):
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 eighty eight eighty nine era. And
they had their hair up in the bun in the
(16:42):
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, that girl almost set a girl's name
(17:02):
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 2 (17:10):
Like Mary and the librarian.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yes, yes, Terry. What did you do for a living.
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Now, yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah? Will you say it like I'm an idiot? How
we talk?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
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? Yeah, hold on,
wait right ung Michael Berry good shouga on polk Lump.
I'm hoping and I bring you Ever see a video
(18:09):
of E T singing the song Hank Senior 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,
(18:33):
directly at you, crazy spartan room. They don't even bother
to put anything in there behind them, so unnaturally they
all look exactness. Jd Vance made a statement to uh,
(18:54):
you can keep et going. I love you.
Speaker 2 (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
it's kind of like when you go to the doctor
and they refer to body parts and it just it's odd, right,
(20:04):
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. And he didn't make it weird, right,
(20:27):
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 a normal gay guy and I'm voting for
(20:50):
Trump vans. Now, here's what's important to understand the concept
of a normal gay guy. The normal is a modifier
of God. It could instead it should perhaps instead be
(21:15):
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 of guys you know, running around Ay
(21:38):
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
(21:59):
to 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, approve of them, coexist or anything else. They'd
(22:23):
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 because you're an outlier. You're not like
everybody else. So you got to worry that in every
(22:45):
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 don't want everybody to know, but please don't set
me up with anybody. Thank you. I have a dude
(23:07):
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 that only a writer would have. Most people speak
(23:33):
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, puts it on the pillow. He writes. He
writes a lot. He'd rather write than talk. In fact,
(23:55):
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. When he made that statement,
(24:16):
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 and homo, then
(24:37):
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 wo These people have
(25:01):
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 when we do, you
(25:22):
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. He might bring Kay,
(25:43):
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, because if I
have salad, I'm just gonna get angry. So anyway, if
(26:07):
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 2 (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. So highlights of today's show ramon for somebody
(27:06):
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 year when my kid's annual comes out or the
(27:29):
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 them Christy like there were everybody was named Laura, Christy, Jennifer.
(27:56):
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
and none of that does. Actually it's not true. She's
(28:16):
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
don't know if not naming them that anymore is what
(28:38):
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
picket house right now sobad. I'm just gonna be completely honest.
(29:00):
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,
then I'm not gonna say, well, it's the black's fault
(29:21):
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. Oh. 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, back to the point, last
(30:27):
day to 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 need the gaze. People have
(30:48):
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 without knowing them. We
all do it. It's very natural. This is what the
(31:12):
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 against the pundit, and
they had the Gujratis and the Malaialis and the Telugus
(31:36):
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, for that matter,
was not one nation the way we think of it.
You had, you had Naples, the Napolitanos, you had, the Romans,
(32:01):
you had the Tuscans, you had, but this idea of uniting,
they don't want you united. 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
(32:22):
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. 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
(32:44):
for a black man to vote for Trump? And admit
to it. You can vote for Trump and nobody looks.
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 on their awful people be bold. Be bold.
Take somebody in the poll today. It's early voting today.
(33:07):
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 nice to your spouse. Yeah, stop being an
ass to the person you were supposed to love.
