Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Varie's show is on the air. You are
not a breaking news show, even if you might have
heard me say a thousand times. It's important that you
(00:33):
understand that because our entire focus is to slow down
and not repeat headlines. That's what so much of news
and commentary is now. One headline and a bunch of
people busily reporting it, and then a bunch of people
quickly commenting on it before they have had time to
(00:54):
think about it. I'm not going to be your source
for the newest update. I would rather be, hopefully someone
who provides some context for things, some explanation and analysis
for things, and helps you, in some cases maybe understand
or have better perspective on why someone is doing what
(01:17):
they're doing. We are getting news that Mike Waltz is
out as Trump's national security advisor. I don't know why,
but I will tell you. Callers, hangtied, I'll get to
you in just a second. I don't know why, but
I will tell you that I think part of the reason.
What I suspect is he if he's been fired, and
(01:40):
he may have stepped down. Trump being Trump really intense
organizations like Tim and Fertitaz, for instance, like Trump's operate
with an intensity. Elon is this way. They operate with
an intensity that most people can never understand. You are
(02:01):
not intended to work through your entire career. You are
not intended to get complacent and comfortable. You are intended
to it's this is Bill Belichick, this is Nick Saban.
That is this is putting people under stress to perform
at their highest levels. This is boot camp. This is
(02:22):
we may all be dead tomorrow. Get everything done today,
put nothing off, stay here all night, work through the
I don't know why Mike Waltz is out, so I'm
not going to speculate. I do think that some heads
are going to roll. We've just finished the first hundred days,
and I have some thoughts. Well, I'll just tell you
I don't know that heck Seth is going to make
(02:42):
it long term. That's that's what I'm hearing. I watched
his body language, and I'm no expert at the meeting yesterday,
and he looked very, very uncomfortable. I think this was
a stretch for him. I think he's a I think
he's a wonderful guy. I think it'd be a fun
(03:03):
guy to have drinks and go to the Golden Nugget
in Lake charles Worth over the weekend. I think he's
whip smart. I think I think he has a great heart,
and I think he loves his country. But it takes
a certain personality to be a cabinet secretary, and I
think it's I think it's a lot of stress for him.
It's a lot of stress for him, and I think
(03:25):
it's a real stretch. I don't know that. I don't
have any insight really. By the way, speaking of Trump,
we are working on the trip to mar Lago for
September or October, finalizing details. Please hear me say this
so I don't have to lose my mind. I do
not have the details. Okay, you are free to email
(03:47):
me if you want to be on the list that
when the details are finalized, you are offered an opportunity
to go or not go in the first round request,
so you can say, let me know on the mar
Lago trip once, y'all. We have to book rooms, events, yachts, planes,
(04:08):
all of it, and we have just begun working on
that and we move pretty fast. But I got three
emails from somebody yesterday and the third one was I said,
back off, you're about to be blocked, and they said,
but I just really like Trump, and I just really
don't like you. Right now, understand that our primary responsibility
is to do this phenomenal show. We do that because
(04:28):
it's fun and we love it. But you gotta relax.
We will get you details as soon as we have
if you're interested, send that through the through the website
Michael Berryshow dot com, where it says send Michael an email.

Here is the song in medieval translation, Sir Tumas once
told at the quay where guildsman now refuseth labor, fortune
hath turned her gaze. I tis grievous. Oh, we aren't
(06:32):
halfway hents to salvation. Oh take mine hand, fair maiden,
If thou darest, or we liveth eye by but a
whispered entreaty to the heavens, carry all our wayward son,
Good guess, but wrong, very good guess. Wes. You're up

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Seven three nine nine nine, one thousand. Okay, here is
your medieval translation. Be this the life ordained by the fates?
Or but illusion? Most beguiling ensnared in an avalanche of woe.
Mine eyes see naught but cruel verity. I see a
shadowy figure. Doth he perform incantations? My lords, my ladies?
(07:46):
With no more ado, I give you a strain of
ancient England's sound fire and sounds of the sky. Verily
such f pray be still thou noble sage. Oh that's
(08:10):
a good one.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
That one didn't come as easy as the first one.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, well, it comes easy if you know. You know,
when you watch Jeopardy, I tend to think things are
easy just because you have knowledge of it. That first
one was not that easy. All right, Well done, gol shorts. Joe,
you're up, know the well.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I don't have an answer for that one, you do not.
I do not have an answer for this one yet.
Let me think the The guy already said, carry on wayward, son,
No it was it was actually I didn't think of
the band in time.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I can't think of the band.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, if you know the name of the song that.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Uh it was about the Oh, I'm not coming up
with anything, Michael.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
If I think you know the song but you can't
think of the name, and you can give me enough
information to prove that, then I will give you credit.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Can I hear the lyrics and one work? Brothers?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Be this the life ordained by the fates? Or but illusion?
Most beguiling ensnared in an avalanche of woa. Mine eyes
see naught but cruel verity. I see a shadowy figure.
Doth he perform incantations? My lords, my ladies? With no
more ado, I give you a strain of ancient England's sound.
(09:37):
We pulled that line from the Knight's Tale. Fire and
sounds from the sky verily such fright. Pray be still
thou noble, say Michael.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It sounds like so many rock songs I've heard in
my life, but don't really have a specific Take a
guess one in mine.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
The segment's got to be or it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Misterhemian Rappers by the mystic mercury of counsel Queens.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Jim dm a man.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I feel suddenly dehydrated and my heart is racing and
I didn't even do X. I just know the symptoms.
Read an article yesterday about a guy named Jenkins who
was the king of X. Apparently, the designer drug X,
as it came to be known, made famous, or grew
(10:44):
to worldwide popularity out of a club in Dallas called
the Stark Club, named for an industrial design uh guy.
And this fellow named Jenkins was was an enterprising hippie
and he started he bought a machine and he started
making X. And the beauty of X apparently was that
(11:06):
you had a light cocaine hit without it's non addictive,
and it's a lesser hit, so you can function better,
and it's a lesser low, and you're up for three
or four hours, and then if you want another one,
you do another one. So and it's called a hug
drug because unlike other drugs that make you want to fight,
(11:27):
it makes you end up in bed with somebody you
didn't know before you came that evening, and bar owners
didn't mind you dealing drugs in their bar club because
people drank more and dance more and stayed longer. Well,
I was never into the drug scene, but I'm fascinated
by cultural trends so I'm reading this article, I'm thinking,
(11:49):
should we have this guy in the air. He lives
in a van down by the river. Now literally, it's
a bluebird well appointed and it's a beautiful million dollar
view river. But he still lives in a van down
by the river, and he's got a pretty amazing story
to tell about how big he grew his ex empire.
(12:11):
And I literally sat there for an hour yesterday afternoon
thinking is this something our listeners would enjoy? Because a
number of listeners will go the literal listener would go, Michael, well,
I got this drughead on here, and I go, I
don't know, because people are fascinating to me, even imperfect people.
I would interview Charlie Manson absolutely in a second, not
because I think anybody else would want to hear it,
(12:32):
but because I do the show for me. Well, I'm
in trouble with Ramon. Oh we got to get in
Nazario in here. I'm in trouble with Ramone because I
gave you all the answer to Bohemian Rhapsody, and he
said I should have dragged that out because then everybody
started calling in and everybody wanted to play, and I
ruined his game. So anyway, I'll give you another one
in just a moment. We finally got Nazario on the line.
(12:54):
This is the nice fellow that over the weekend went
out to Camp Hope and was providing haircuts for our veterans.
And he himself is a veteran of the United States
Marine and I thought that was really cool, and I
just I just want to have him on and love
on him a little bit and talk about his business
and why he does that. Nazario, all right, good morning.
(13:14):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm doing good, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay, are you on a speakerphone or bluetooth because I
can't hear you very well. I was on a speaker
there We took all right, okay, So first of all,
tell me how you got into the Marines.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
At the age of nineteen.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I'm from a small border city called Eagle Pass, Texas.
Joined the Marine Corps and shipped out, moved out to
California and got stationed in twenty nine puns.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And did you and Iraq?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I did four years. I did a ractor, Yes, sir,
I did I rack in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That was a surge, right, U.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
No, it was a little bit after. It was the
transition zone into OEF.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I was part of OIF, and then when we came back,
it was a transition going into OEF and then started
training for Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And did you go to Afghanistan?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
No, sir, we got taken off the rotation at that time.
I went ahead and reenlisted for another term and I
got orders to go to Japan.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
So that was a good time, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I just went to Japan at Christmas. I had never been.
I have I've always been fascinated by Japan, but I've
really really dug in on modern Japan over the last
couple of years, and their fierce nationalism and their their
ability to commercialize systems, and their hierarchical structures of society
(14:52):
and their shinto Buddhism and how those two came together.
And it's really really, really interesting. And my fam my wife,
and my kids, all four of us individually enjoyed it.
And on the way back, we stopped in Maui because
my son, Michael t is a big fan of Hawaii,
and and my executive producer, Chad Nakani, She's from Hawaii
(15:15):
and I'm not a beach guy, so for me, the
highlight of the trip was Japan. But for my oldest
son it was Mali. It's just, you know, people go
to Maui for this great vacation. You know, it's a
lot of people think it's the greatest vacation spot in
the world. For me, it's not in my top one
hundred because I'm not a beach person. But Hawaii, but Japan.
(15:36):
I will go back to Japan. I will go back
again and again. There's so many things I want to
I still want to do there. What's that?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, Japan is really nice and so y.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yo. The food. I love the food. I love the people.
Although my wife said she had a crick in her
neck because she would get into this endless loop of bowing.
You know, they bowed, you bow back, they bow to
you bowing, and you can't get out of it. I
found the people to be very, very interesting and very gracious.
It's like the whole country went to here's how to
treat tourists school. Hold on, just second, Nazario, I want
(16:11):
to talk about your your barber business.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
With his finger on the pulse, but king ting continues
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
In Tiffan, Ohio, writes Zara, this is about the best
dang time I've had in a long time. The old
rock and roll segment is fantastic. You said it was
going to be in Middle English, as in Chaucer, as
I know you know, but it's Elizabethan English, which of
(16:43):
course is William Shakespeare. And again I know you know
from the point the why in ye is the old
letter thorn and is properly pronounced like thh. I bow
to the genius of you and Ramon, and I hope
you will do ye old rock and roll again. It's
the best dang time I've had in a long time.
(17:05):
Henry Stobbs tiff in Ohio. That felt very ken Burns.
You know ken Burns will do the letters home from
the Private to his mother, dearest mother. Today we left
upon the morn anyway, so we will play one more round.
Hopefully I won't screw it up. Vermon, So if you
(17:25):
would like to be a participant in that seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand. While Ramon cues those up, Nazario, I want
to say thank you for doing what you did for
our veterans, your fellow veterans at camp Home this past weekend,
and I would like you to tell a little bit
about your uh your business, the barber effect. Let me
(17:48):
start by saying, I had I had a listener. I
guess who knows you or is a is a client
of yours. Tell me that during COVID, because couldn't open
the shop, you got resourceful and you start started doing
like the people who come and uh groom your dog.
You started going to your clients. Tell me how you
survived through COVID.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So through COVID, sir, it helped me. It helped me
when I was out in Hollywood and Beverly.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Hills, uh, going and doing house calls, getting the experience
out there. Moved out here to Houston and COVID hit.
So what I used to do is I used to
take my own chair, used to take my own professional
photography lights, and I would set up a small little
barbering area in the luxury of your.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Home or office space. It was.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It was a pretty interesting time because I mean during COVID.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
A lot of people didn't want me.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Inside their home, so we would do it on the
back patio. Sometimes really nice houses, nice views, and sometimes
in the garage.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
How was that different for you? How was the actual
cutting experience? Obviously you have to navigate traffic, But how
did you find that to be different? Better or worse
or just in some way different.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
It was just adapting to adapting to everybody, different setting
in their home.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
It made it fun.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Made people feel a lot more comfortable with looking good again,
being able to have the barber come to their home.
It's just a different setting. It's a different office space
every day. So that's what that to me, that's what
it was fun.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
My trainer, Michael Petru, had been training when I met
him for I think seventeen years. He had been at
the Houstonian or no, sorry's been training. He's been training
now for over third he's been trained now for thirty
two years. When I met him, he had spent seventeen
years at the Houstonian, which really nice club, not a
(19:54):
country club per se, more of an athletic club, but
with a country club vibe. And he does seventeen years
of and he went out on his own, and he'd
been out on his own at that point for say
seven or eight years, I don't know how many. And
his deal was there were a lot of people, especially
older people, who don't want to go join a club.
They don't want to be around a bunch of meatheads.
They don't want to watch, you know, the the meat
(20:16):
market that his guys and girls hoo can up. They
don't want to watch some guy, you know, dropping the
weights on the ground or some girl preening because she's
you know, an Instagram influencer. And that he could go
to their houses and train them there and so that
might be their garage, it might be their bedroom, might
be their living room. And eventually he would go and
he'd start with the wife, and the wife the husband
(20:37):
would notice the results, and so he'd start, and then
the neighbors, and and it has it has grown. I
guess we've been together for five years and it has
grown into something he never dreamed it would be. How
successful and the stories and now he's even companies will
will say, you know, my c suite, you're going to
come and train all my my chief financial officer, my
(20:59):
chief marketing ols. But the whole point of that is
the go into the house. My wife has a lady.
We started all this during COVID. My wife has a
lady who comes to the house named honey. She's fantastic,
she's wonderful. It's Vietnamese lady. She's like family. And she
comes to the house and does my wife's nails and
you know which. She brings Vietnamese food to us, and
(21:20):
we all sit and chat with her, and she burns
time just hanging out with us because she's like family.
She's not just doing that, but my wife gets massages
at the house. Everything coming to us makes it so
that we don't have to be away from our kids,
we don't have to burn our gas, we don't have
to be at risk of a carjacking. So I would
think that would be a neat deal. Now do you
still do that or do you have a shop now?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Right now?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
I have a shop in Spring Texas. It's actually a
mobile barbershop. It's a thirty six foot Gooseneck car hauler
that I transformed into basically a traveling barbershop.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
A few years ago it's super nice.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
I'm able to be everywhere for my house call operation.
I still do some house calls in the local area,
but right now, currently with the volume that I have
in the barbershop, I have to plan out like one
or two months advanced to be able to go do
a client at their house. Right now, I do have.
(22:21):
I do wedding events, I do bachelor parties. I go
to camp hope, I go to retirement homes, I go
do back to school events.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
So that's more of the house call.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Outside of the barbershop experience for the barber effect. Right now,
I do service a ninety seven.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Year old World War Two.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Marine veteran at a retirement home, which as a matter
of fact, I need to give them a call today
to be able to set their appointment up for next week.
But but yeah, I still do house calls, but it
has to be planned out so it can fit in
the calendar.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Who did your website?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
The website one of my clients.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You know, a lot of a lot of people wouldn't
like it. They'd say it's too busy, But I like it.
It's very visually pleasing to me.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Thank you. What I try to do is because there's
two versions.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
There's a version for the computer and then there's the
version for.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
The phone. So what I try to create, what I
try to create.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
On the phone is I got very little time for
someone to be able to be interested in it, and
I just try to simplify the way I.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Try to advertise myself is who I am, what I do,
how to find me, and that way I.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Can try to get that person to come check out
the barbershop. I try to service a lot of the
veterans in our community. I'm constantly trying to become.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
A better part of the community.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I like to advertise to all the veterans and their
families and all supporters. I want to make my barbershop
to go to place for a veteran, even if they
don't need to get a haircut. It's a place where
they can come hang out and feel I mean it is.
It's the best thing to be able to be around
our own brothers and sisters, you know, especially getting out
(24:14):
of the Marine Corps, getting out of the service, it's challenging.
For example me, I'm here in Houston, all my family
is back at home and Eagle Pass in San Antonio.
But I create family with all the veterans in my network,
and that's what keeps me going.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You know, it's really cool in missil That is really cool.
Thank you for sharing that. Thank you for doing that, buddy.
It's the barber effect. It's located at forty six five
nine twenty in Spring. You can find them online at
the Barber Effect dot from.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Portland through Albany at all great cities in between. Me
and Michael Barry show's nationwide that.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
My friends tis a fife, and as I had been
advised by a listener earlier, the Pennywhistle is a fife.
Going to San Anton this weekend. My father in law,
my father law, my brother in law, was a very
(25:43):
high ranking general in the Indian Army prior to his
requisite retirement. They have a mandatory retirement, but you get
two years added for each rank. And he was basically
the national security advisor to the President and Prime Minister
as a military official. Pretty cool job, pretty neat stuff.
(26:06):
And he was keen to visit New Orleans because he'd
never visited New Orleans. So they came to visit their niece,
the two nieces that I'm so fond of, they're like
my own daughters. And he had asked about visiting New
Orleans because he wants to see some American history, and
I politely course corrected, like a good salesman, Hey, do
(26:28):
y'all have these shoes in a nine? You know what
those shoes really. Here's what I have in a nine
and you really want to see. So I course corrected
to San Anton, less likely to get murdered, shorter drive time,
and I love San Anton, so I've got him hyped
up on the Alamo. He's reading about the Alamo right
now and he is hyped up. Brother, So I'm looking
(26:50):
for them and get some me Tierra in. You know,
they closed the little rhyin in the steakhouse. They made
it kind of a beer and brats and pretzels kind
of place, which is a bummer. My wife wants to
see some of the some of the missions. She went
to Catholic school in India growing up college a convent
of Jesus and Mary, and she loves missions. She loves
to go visit missions. And she says, there are some
(27:10):
missions we need to go see. I don't know where
those are. If there's something in and around San Anton
that you think I may not have seen that I
need to see, send me an email. And then we'll
go to Lafonda, which Sandy Peterson put me on years ago.
I love that place. That place is special. Those are
hot spots. And then we'll stroll the riverwalk. I might
(27:31):
be corny, but I love strolling. The river walk takes
me back to a good place. I went there with
my kids, my kids, I went there with my parents.
The I don't know, nineteen eighty three. Maybe all right,
it's time for a little the old rock and roll.
Let me see if I can avoid screwing this up
ramone's game. So let's get a little corner of rock
(28:01):
now told and tongue hold.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Raise thy tis time, old ye old rock and roll time.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Unless you are up, sir, you are up.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Let's do it all right?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Here we go. Supposing I depart the day after this,
wouldst thou still etch my name upon thy memories scroll?
For I must sojourn, hints, fair maid. My spirit is
yoked not by hearth, nor braid the road coleth unto
(28:43):
mine restless soul. No tower nor vow shall make me hold.
For I am but an unshackled fowl soaring across celestial
celestial skies. And this bard cannot linger where his spirit denies.
As the loots, dragons weep, falcons take flight, and fire
dances in the distance. Wes, you are correct, that is
(29:05):
in fact freebird by the skinnard of Leonard. No, no, no,
you've showed that you got the answer correct early on.
Well done, good man. All right, are you ready for
the next Let's do it. I receive it, not the
sweet balm of contentment, nay, not a dram, though I
ride it through hamlets and lands afar, and heareth the
(29:27):
town criers scream by this cart 'tis best by far,
Yet still mine heart remaineth vexed and unfulfilled. Low I striveth,
Low I travaileth, Yet still no contentment.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
It's like if you don't get it at the Virginna,
it just gets lost. That's so awesome.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Your brain starts moving around. I played these without knowing
the answers, and if you don't catch it quickly, then
then it is in fact lost.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Can I hear the first line again?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I receive it, not the sweet balm of contentment, Nay,
not a dram, though I ride it through hamlets and
lands afar, and here with the town criers buy this
cart' tis best by far, Yet still mine heart remaineth
vexed and unfulfilled. I might be getting too into this
remote Oh no, okay, Lo I striveth lo I travaileth
(30:21):
yet still no contentment.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Okay, Oh man, I want to say like little Red
Corvette or something. I don't know. That's just what's coming
to me. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
How best to say this that if if this song
over here, I've taken my right arm and moved it
all the way to the end out straight, and little
Red Corvette we're over here. I've now taken my left
arm moved it all over there.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You're like a free bird.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
That that would be the gulf betwixt where you are
and where this particular song is.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
That's awesome. Well, I appreciate you letting me play toy.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Oh now we're giving out the answers. Oh yeah, okay,
there's the answer. Yeah. You're a good player and a
good sport. You're a good guest. So I'm going to
give you another one. Mon's gonna go. You burnt it
all my work that was supposed to be a good
for three weeks. Are you ready?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Behold the end of America's West coast. Verily, a most
comely keep. Many a fair chamber hath it and spirits
flow like mead. A fair damsel stood in the threshold
incense doth perfume with the breeze. I thought I heard
distant revelry yet twas but whispers of past deeds thou mayest.
(31:57):
I cannot read that line.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
It'll be a giveaway.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna leave that line off because if I
give that line to Masa too. No, no, no, I didn't.
I didn't see that line before, or I would have
changed it. No, no, no, don't get your little feelings hurt.
I just can't read that line, or it would give
it away. You have it, wes, No, I don't behold
the inn of America's West coast. Verily a most comely keep.
(32:23):
Many a fair chamber hath it, and spirits flow like mead.
A fair damsel stood in the threshold incense doth perfumes
the breeze. I thought, California, very well done, Very well
done by the Eagle Knights, very well done. All right.
The next line as written was thou mayest checkest in
(32:46):
whenever thou pleases. But I couldn't read that. It would
have been a giveaway. And Ramon, don't take that personally.
You've done a great job, mister. It's his feelings hurts. Okay,
Here we go, Here we go?
Speaker 5 (32:53):
You ready ready for this one?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Thou didst jostle mine very soul through the hours most nocturnal.
She was a fair wench of unholy verve, with armor
forge from curves and nerve. She didst right or fields
and me with zest naya knight, hath found such unrest
that was very clever of the nasty little reference from him,
Thou didst rattle me straight through the moon's passage by
(33:19):
torchlight and Thunder's own visage for a moment, Virginia, you
got it, No, I don't listen carefully. Listen carefully and concentrate.
It's very easy, right right. Thou didst jostle mine very
soul through the hour's most nocturnal. She was a fair
(33:41):
wench of unholy verve, with armor forge from curves and nerve.
She didst ride or fields and me with zest naya
knight hath found such unrest. Thou didst rattle me straight
through the moon's passage by torchlight and Thunder's own visage.
Jackal So
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Varie's show is on the air. You are
not a breaking news show, even if you might have
heard me say a thousand times. It's important that you
(00:33):
understand that because our entire focus is to slow down
and not repeat headlines. That's what so much of news
and commentary is now. One headline and a bunch of
people busily reporting it, and then a bunch of people
quickly commenting on it before they have had time to
(00:54):
think about it. I'm not going to be your source
for the newest update. I would rather be, hopefully someone
who provides some context for things, some explanation and analysis
for things, and helps you, in some cases maybe understand
or have better perspective on why someone is doing what
(01:17):
they're doing. We are getting news that Mike Waltz is
out as Trump's national security advisor. I don't know why,
but I will tell you. Callers, hangtied, I'll get to
you in just a second. I don't know why, but
I will tell you that I think part of the reason.
What I suspect is he if he's been fired, and
(01:40):
he may have stepped down. Trump being Trump really intense
organizations like Tim and Fertitaz, for instance, like Trump's operate
with an intensity. Elon is this way. They operate with
an intensity that most people can never understand. You are
(02:01):
not intended to work through your entire career. You are
not intended to get complacent and comfortable. You are intended
to it's this is Bill Belichick, this is Nick Saban.
That is this is putting people under stress to perform
at their highest levels. This is boot camp. This is
(02:22):
we may all be dead tomorrow. Get everything done today,
put nothing off, stay here all night, work through the
I don't know why Mike Waltz is out, so I'm
not going to speculate. I do think that some heads
are going to roll. We've just finished the first hundred days,
and I have some thoughts. Well, I'll just tell you
I don't know that heck Seth is going to make
(02:42):
it long term. That's that's what I'm hearing. I watched
his body language, and I'm no expert at the meeting yesterday,
and he looked very, very uncomfortable. I think this was
a stretch for him. I think he's a I think
he's a wonderful guy. I think it'd be a fun
(03:03):
guy to have drinks and go to the Golden Nugget
in Lake charles Worth over the weekend. I think he's
whip smart. I think I think he has a great heart,
and I think he loves his country. But it takes
a certain personality to be a cabinet secretary, and I
think it's I think it's a lot of stress for him.
It's a lot of stress for him, and I think
(03:25):
it's a real stretch. I don't know that. I don't
have any insight really. By the way, speaking of Trump,
we are working on the trip to mar Lago for
September or October, finalizing details. Please hear me say this
so I don't have to lose my mind. I do
not have the details. Okay, you are free to email
(03:47):
me if you want to be on the list that
when the details are finalized, you are offered an opportunity
to go or not go in the first round request,
so you can say, let me know on the mar
Lago trip once, y'all. We have to book rooms, events, yachts, planes,
(04:08):
all of it, and we have just begun working on
that and we move pretty fast. But I got three
emails from somebody yesterday and the third one was I said,
back off, you're about to be blocked, and they said,
but I just really like Trump, and I just really
don't like you. Right now, understand that our primary responsibility
is to do this phenomenal show. We do that because
(04:28):
it's fun and we love it. But you gotta relax.
We will get you details as soon as we have
if you're interested, send that through the through the website
Michael Berryshow dot com, where it says send Michael an email.
All right, it's time for a little ye old rock

and that may happen quickly, that opens up a phone line.
Seven one three nine one thousand. Be patient seven one

Speaker 4 (06:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I'll come hold on my phone. All right, here we go.
Here is the song in medieval translation, Sir Tumas once
told at the quay where guildsman now refuseth labor, fortune
hath turned her gaze. I tis grievous. Oh, we aren't
(06:32):
halfway hents to salvation. Oh take mine hand, fair maiden,
If thou darest, or we liveth eye by but a
whispered entreaty to the heavens, carry all our wayward son,
Good guess, but wrong, very good guess. Wes. You're up
(06:53):
seven one, three, nine, nine nine one thousand? Wes? Do
you know the answer to.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
This question.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
On a prayer?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Manjovie?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Very well done, my man, you are the first person
to get this correct. Where do you live, Wes?
Speaker 6 (07:10):

Some visitors Michael oh Man read that is wonderful, wonderful country. Well, well, done.
You're ready for the second one?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yes, sir, all right?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Seven three nine nine nine, one thousand. Okay, here is
your medieval translation. Be this the life ordained by the fates?
Or but illusion? Most beguiling ensnared in an avalanche of woe.
Mine eyes see naught but cruel verity. I see a
shadowy figure. Doth he perform incantations? My lords, my ladies?
(07:46):
With no more ado, I give you a strain of
ancient England's sound fire and sounds of the sky. Verily
such f pray be still thou noble sage. Oh that's
(08:10):
a good one.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
That one didn't come as easy as the first one.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, well, it comes easy if you know. You know,
when you watch Jeopardy, I tend to think things are
easy just because you have knowledge of it. That first
one was not that easy. All right, Well done, gol shorts. Joe,
you're up, know the well.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I don't have an answer for that one, you do not.
I do not have an answer for this one yet.
Let me think the The guy already said, carry on wayward, son,
No it was it was actually I didn't think of
the band in time.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I can't think of the band.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, if you know the name of the song that.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Uh it was about the Oh, I'm not coming up
with anything, Michael.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
If I think you know the song but you can't
think of the name, and you can give me enough
information to prove that, then I will give you credit.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Can I hear the lyrics and one work? Brothers?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Be this the life ordained by the fates? Or but illusion?
Most beguiling ensnared in an avalanche of woa. Mine eyes
see naught but cruel verity. I see a shadowy figure.
Doth he perform incantations? My lords, my ladies? With no
more ado, I give you a strain of ancient England's sound.
(09:37):
We pulled that line from the Knight's Tale. Fire and
sounds from the sky verily such fright. Pray be still
thou noble, say Michael.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
It sounds like so many rock songs I've heard in
my life, but don't really have a specific Take a
guess one in mine.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
The segment's got to be or it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Misterhemian Rappers by the mystic mercury of counsel Queens.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Jim dm a man.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I feel suddenly dehydrated and my heart is racing and
I didn't even do X. I just know the symptoms.
Read an article yesterday about a guy named Jenkins who
was the king of X. Apparently, the designer drug X,
as it came to be known, made famous, or grew
(10:44):
to worldwide popularity out of a club in Dallas called
the Stark Club, named for an industrial design uh guy.
And this fellow named Jenkins was was an enterprising hippie
and he started he bought a machine and he started
making X. And the beauty of X apparently was that
(11:06):
you had a light cocaine hit without it's non addictive,
and it's a lesser hit, so you can function better,
and it's a lesser low, and you're up for three
or four hours, and then if you want another one,
you do another one. So and it's called a hug
drug because unlike other drugs that make you want to fight,
(11:27):
it makes you end up in bed with somebody you
didn't know before you came that evening, and bar owners
didn't mind you dealing drugs in their bar club because
people drank more and dance more and stayed longer. Well,
I was never into the drug scene, but I'm fascinated
by cultural trends so I'm reading this article, I'm thinking,
(11:49):
should we have this guy in the air. He lives
in a van down by the river. Now literally, it's
a bluebird well appointed and it's a beautiful million dollar
view river. But he still lives in a van down
by the river, and he's got a pretty amazing story
to tell about how big he grew his ex empire.
(12:11):
And I literally sat there for an hour yesterday afternoon
thinking is this something our listeners would enjoy? Because a
number of listeners will go the literal listener would go, Michael, well,
I got this drughead on here, and I go, I
don't know, because people are fascinating to me, even imperfect people.
I would interview Charlie Manson absolutely in a second, not
because I think anybody else would want to hear it,
(12:32):
but because I do the show for me. Well, I'm
in trouble with Ramon. Oh we got to get in
Nazario in here. I'm in trouble with Ramone because I
gave you all the answer to Bohemian Rhapsody, and he
said I should have dragged that out because then everybody
started calling in and everybody wanted to play, and I
ruined his game. So anyway, I'll give you another one
in just a moment. We finally got Nazario on the line.
(12:54):
This is the nice fellow that over the weekend went
out to Camp Hope and was providing haircuts for our veterans.
And he himself is a veteran of the United States
Marine and I thought that was really cool, and I
just I just want to have him on and love
on him a little bit and talk about his business
and why he does that. Nazario, all right, good morning.
(13:14):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I'm doing good, sir.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay, are you on a speakerphone or bluetooth because I
can't hear you very well. I was on a speaker
there We took all right, okay, So first of all,
tell me how you got into the Marines.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
At the age of nineteen.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I'm from a small border city called Eagle Pass, Texas.
Joined the Marine Corps and shipped out, moved out to
California and got stationed in twenty nine puns.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And did you and Iraq?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I did four years. I did a ractor, Yes, sir,
I did I rack in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That was a surge, right, U.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
No, it was a little bit after. It was the
transition zone into OEF.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I was part of OIF, and then when we came back,
it was a transition going into OEF and then started
training for Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And did you go to Afghanistan?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
No, sir, we got taken off the rotation at that time.
I went ahead and reenlisted for another term and I
got orders to go to Japan.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
So that was a good time, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I just went to Japan at Christmas. I had never been.
I have I've always been fascinated by Japan, but I've
really really dug in on modern Japan over the last
couple of years, and their fierce nationalism and their their
ability to commercialize systems, and their hierarchical structures of society
(14:52):
and their shinto Buddhism and how those two came together.
And it's really really, really interesting. And my fam my wife,
and my kids, all four of us individually enjoyed it.
And on the way back, we stopped in Maui because
my son, Michael t is a big fan of Hawaii,
and and my executive producer, Chad Nakani, She's from Hawaii
(15:15):
and I'm not a beach guy, so for me, the
highlight of the trip was Japan. But for my oldest
son it was Mali. It's just, you know, people go
to Maui for this great vacation. You know, it's a
lot of people think it's the greatest vacation spot in
the world. For me, it's not in my top one
hundred because I'm not a beach person. But Hawaii, but Japan.
(15:36):
I will go back to Japan. I will go back
again and again. There's so many things I want to
I still want to do there. What's that?
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, Japan is really nice and so y.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yo. The food. I love the food. I love the people.
Although my wife said she had a crick in her
neck because she would get into this endless loop of bowing.
You know, they bowed, you bow back, they bow to
you bowing, and you can't get out of it. I
found the people to be very, very interesting and very gracious.
It's like the whole country went to here's how to
treat tourists school. Hold on, just second, Nazario, I want
(16:11):
to talk about your your barber business.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
With his finger on the pulse, but king ting continues
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
In Tiffan, Ohio, writes Zara, this is about the best
dang time I've had in a long time. The old
rock and roll segment is fantastic. You said it was
going to be in Middle English, as in Chaucer, as
I know you know, but it's Elizabethan English, which of
(16:43):
course is William Shakespeare. And again I know you know
from the point the why in ye is the old
letter thorn and is properly pronounced like thh. I bow
to the genius of you and Ramon, and I hope
you will do ye old rock and roll again. It's
the best dang time I've had in a long time.
(17:05):
Henry Stobbs tiff in Ohio. That felt very ken Burns.
You know ken Burns will do the letters home from
the Private to his mother, dearest mother. Today we left
upon the morn anyway, so we will play one more round.
Hopefully I won't screw it up. Vermon, So if you
(17:25):
would like to be a participant in that seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand. While Ramon cues those up, Nazario, I want
to say thank you for doing what you did for
our veterans, your fellow veterans at camp Home this past weekend,
and I would like you to tell a little bit
about your uh your business, the barber effect. Let me
(17:48):
start by saying, I had I had a listener. I
guess who knows you or is a is a client
of yours. Tell me that during COVID, because couldn't open
the shop, you got resourceful and you start started doing
like the people who come and uh groom your dog.
You started going to your clients. Tell me how you
survived through COVID.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So through COVID, sir, it helped me. It helped me
when I was out in Hollywood and Beverly.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Hills, uh, going and doing house calls, getting the experience
out there. Moved out here to Houston and COVID hit.
So what I used to do is I used to
take my own chair, used to take my own professional
photography lights, and I would set up a small little
barbering area in the luxury of your.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Home or office space. It was.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It was a pretty interesting time because I mean during COVID.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
A lot of people didn't want me.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Inside their home, so we would do it on the
back patio. Sometimes really nice houses, nice views, and sometimes
in the garage.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
How was that different for you? How was the actual
cutting experience? Obviously you have to navigate traffic, But how
did you find that to be different? Better or worse
or just in some way different.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
It was just adapting to adapting to everybody, different setting
in their home.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
It made it fun.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Made people feel a lot more comfortable with looking good again,
being able to have the barber come to their home.
It's just a different setting. It's a different office space
every day. So that's what that to me, that's what
it was fun.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
My trainer, Michael Petru, had been training when I met
him for I think seventeen years. He had been at
the Houstonian or no, sorry's been training. He's been training
now for over third he's been trained now for thirty
two years. When I met him, he had spent seventeen
years at the Houstonian, which really nice club, not a
(19:54):
country club per se, more of an athletic club, but
with a country club vibe. And he does seventeen years
of and he went out on his own, and he'd
been out on his own at that point for say
seven or eight years, I don't know how many. And
his deal was there were a lot of people, especially
older people, who don't want to go join a club.
They don't want to be around a bunch of meatheads.
They don't want to watch, you know, the the meat
(20:16):
market that his guys and girls hoo can up. They
don't want to watch some guy, you know, dropping the
weights on the ground or some girl preening because she's
you know, an Instagram influencer. And that he could go
to their houses and train them there and so that
might be their garage, it might be their bedroom, might
be their living room. And eventually he would go and
he'd start with the wife, and the wife the husband
(20:37):
would notice the results, and so he'd start, and then
the neighbors, and and it has it has grown. I
guess we've been together for five years and it has
grown into something he never dreamed it would be. How
successful and the stories and now he's even companies will
will say, you know, my c suite, you're going to
come and train all my my chief financial officer, my
(20:59):
chief marketing ols. But the whole point of that is
the go into the house. My wife has a lady.
We started all this during COVID. My wife has a
lady who comes to the house named honey. She's fantastic,
she's wonderful. It's Vietnamese lady. She's like family. And she
comes to the house and does my wife's nails and
you know which. She brings Vietnamese food to us, and
(21:20):
we all sit and chat with her, and she burns
time just hanging out with us because she's like family.
She's not just doing that, but my wife gets massages
at the house. Everything coming to us makes it so
that we don't have to be away from our kids,
we don't have to burn our gas, we don't have
to be at risk of a carjacking. So I would
think that would be a neat deal. Now do you
still do that or do you have a shop now?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Right now?
Speaker 7 (21:44):
I have a shop in Spring Texas. It's actually a
mobile barbershop. It's a thirty six foot Gooseneck car hauler
that I transformed into basically a traveling barbershop.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
A few years ago it's super nice.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
I'm able to be everywhere for my house call operation.
I still do some house calls in the local area,
but right now, currently with the volume that I have
in the barbershop, I have to plan out like one
or two months advanced to be able to go do
a client at their house. Right now, I do have.
(22:21):
I do wedding events, I do bachelor parties. I go
to camp hope, I go to retirement homes, I go
do back to school events.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
So that's more of the house call.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Outside of the barbershop experience for the barber effect. Right now,
I do service a ninety seven.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Year old World War Two.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Marine veteran at a retirement home, which as a matter
of fact, I need to give them a call today
to be able to set their appointment up for next week.
But but yeah, I still do house calls, but it
has to be planned out so it can fit in
the calendar.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Who did your website?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
The website one of my clients.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You know, a lot of a lot of people wouldn't
like it. They'd say it's too busy, But I like it.
It's very visually pleasing to me.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Thank you. What I try to do is because there's
two versions.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
There's a version for the computer and then there's the
version for.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
The phone. So what I try to create, what I
try to create.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
On the phone is I got very little time for
someone to be able to be interested in it, and
I just try to simplify the way I.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Try to advertise myself is who I am, what I do,
how to find me, and that way I.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Can try to get that person to come check out
the barbershop. I try to service a lot of the
veterans in our community. I'm constantly trying to become.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
A better part of the community.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I like to advertise to all the veterans and their
families and all supporters. I want to make my barbershop
to go to place for a veteran, even if they
don't need to get a haircut. It's a place where
they can come hang out and feel I mean it is.
It's the best thing to be able to be around
our own brothers and sisters, you know, especially getting out
(24:14):
of the Marine Corps, getting out of the service, it's challenging.
For example me, I'm here in Houston, all my family
is back at home and Eagle Pass in San Antonio.
But I create family with all the veterans in my network,
and that's what keeps me going.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You know, it's really cool in missil That is really cool.
Thank you for sharing that. Thank you for doing that, buddy.
It's the barber effect. It's located at forty six five
nine twenty in Spring. You can find them online at
the Barber Effect dot from.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Portland through Albany at all great cities in between. Me
and Michael Barry show's nationwide that.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
My friends tis a fife, and as I had been
advised by a listener earlier, the Pennywhistle is a fife.
Going to San Anton this weekend. My father in law,
my father law, my brother in law, was a very
(25:43):
high ranking general in the Indian Army prior to his
requisite retirement. They have a mandatory retirement, but you get
two years added for each rank. And he was basically
the national security advisor to the President and Prime Minister
as a military official. Pretty cool job, pretty neat stuff.
(26:06):
And he was keen to visit New Orleans because he'd
never visited New Orleans. So they came to visit their niece,
the two nieces that I'm so fond of, they're like
my own daughters. And he had asked about visiting New
Orleans because he wants to see some American history, and
I politely course corrected, like a good salesman, Hey, do
(26:28):
y'all have these shoes in a nine? You know what
those shoes really. Here's what I have in a nine
and you really want to see. So I course corrected
to San Anton, less likely to get murdered, shorter drive time,
and I love San Anton, so I've got him hyped
up on the Alamo. He's reading about the Alamo right
now and he is hyped up. Brother, So I'm looking
(26:50):
for them and get some me Tierra in. You know,
they closed the little rhyin in the steakhouse. They made
it kind of a beer and brats and pretzels kind
of place, which is a bummer. My wife wants to
see some of the some of the missions. She went
to Catholic school in India growing up college a convent
of Jesus and Mary, and she loves missions. She loves
to go visit missions. And she says, there are some
(27:10):
missions we need to go see. I don't know where
those are. If there's something in and around San Anton
that you think I may not have seen that I
need to see, send me an email. And then we'll
go to Lafonda, which Sandy Peterson put me on years ago.
I love that place. That place is special. Those are
hot spots. And then we'll stroll the riverwalk. I might
(27:31):
be corny, but I love strolling. The river walk takes
me back to a good place. I went there with
my kids, my kids, I went there with my parents.
The I don't know, nineteen eighty three. Maybe all right,
it's time for a little the old rock and roll.
Let me see if I can avoid screwing this up
ramone's game. So let's get a little corner of rock
(28:01):
now told and tongue hold.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Raise thy tis time, old ye old rock and roll time.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Unless you are up, sir, you are up.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Let's do it all right?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Here we go. Supposing I depart the day after this,
wouldst thou still etch my name upon thy memories scroll?
For I must sojourn, hints, fair maid. My spirit is
yoked not by hearth, nor braid the road coleth unto
(28:43):
mine restless soul. No tower nor vow shall make me hold.
For I am but an unshackled fowl soaring across celestial
celestial skies. And this bard cannot linger where his spirit denies.
As the loots, dragons weep, falcons take flight, and fire
dances in the distance. Wes, you are correct, that is
(29:05):
in fact freebird by the skinnard of Leonard. No, no, no,
you've showed that you got the answer correct early on.
Well done, good man. All right, are you ready for
the next Let's do it. I receive it, not the
sweet balm of contentment, nay, not a dram, though I
ride it through hamlets and lands afar, and heareth the
(29:27):
town criers scream by this cart 'tis best by far,
Yet still mine heart remaineth vexed and unfulfilled. Low I striveth,
Low I travaileth, Yet still no contentment.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Man.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
It's like if you don't get it at the Virginna,
it just gets lost. That's so awesome.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Your brain starts moving around. I played these without knowing
the answers, and if you don't catch it quickly, then
then it is in fact lost.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Can I hear the first line again?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I receive it, not the sweet balm of contentment, Nay,
not a dram, though I ride it through hamlets and
lands afar, and here with the town criers buy this
cart' tis best by far, Yet still mine heart remaineth
vexed and unfulfilled. I might be getting too into this
remote Oh no, okay, Lo I striveth lo I travaileth
(30:21):
yet still no contentment.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Okay, Oh man, I want to say like little Red
Corvette or something. I don't know. That's just what's coming
to me. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
How best to say this that if if this song
over here, I've taken my right arm and moved it
all the way to the end out straight, and little
Red Corvette we're over here. I've now taken my left
arm moved it all over there.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You're like a free bird.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
That that would be the gulf betwixt where you are
and where this particular song is.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
That's awesome. Well, I appreciate you letting me play toy.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Oh now we're giving out the answers. Oh yeah, okay,
there's the answer. Yeah. You're a good player and a
good sport. You're a good guest. So I'm going to
give you another one. Mon's gonna go. You burnt it
all my work that was supposed to be a good
for three weeks. Are you ready?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Behold the end of America's West coast. Verily, a most
comely keep. Many a fair chamber hath it and spirits
flow like mead. A fair damsel stood in the threshold
incense doth perfume with the breeze. I thought I heard
distant revelry yet twas but whispers of past deeds thou mayest.
(31:57):
I cannot read that line.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
It'll be a giveaway.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna leave that line off because if I
give that line to Masa too. No, no, no, I didn't.
I didn't see that line before, or I would have
changed it. No, no, no, don't get your little feelings hurt.
I just can't read that line, or it would give
it away. You have it, wes, No, I don't behold
the inn of America's West coast. Verily a most comely keep.
(32:23):
Many a fair chamber hath it, and spirits flow like mead.
A fair damsel stood in the threshold incense doth perfumes
the breeze. I thought, California, very well done, Very well
done by the Eagle Knights, very well done. All right.
The next line as written was thou mayest checkest in
(32:46):
whenever thou pleases. But I couldn't read that. It would
have been a giveaway. And Ramon, don't take that personally.
You've done a great job, mister. It's his feelings hurts. Okay,
Here we go, Here we go?
Speaker 5 (32:53):
You ready ready for this one?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Thou didst jostle mine very soul through the hours most nocturnal.
She was a fair wench of unholy verve, with armor
forge from curves and nerve. She didst right or fields
and me with zest naya knight, hath found such unrest
that was very clever of the nasty little reference from him,
Thou didst rattle me straight through the moon's passage by
(33:19):
torchlight and Thunder's own visage for a moment, Virginia, you
got it, No, I don't listen carefully. Listen carefully and concentrate.
It's very easy, right right. Thou didst jostle mine very
soul through the hour's most nocturnal. She was a fair
(33:41):
wench of unholy verve, with armor forge from curves and nerve.
She didst ride or fields and me with zest naya
knight hath found such unrest. Thou didst rattle me straight
through the moon's passage by torchlight and Thunder's own visage.
