Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That you've missed Old Pete butter gig. Haven't you remember
Mayor Pete?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah? Remember he and his boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
They put a plastic boob on his chest so it
would look like he was nursing a baby. Remember when
they adopted and they got in bed as if they'd
just given birth through their loins and held the baby.
Because it's all cosplaying, it's all acting, it's all silly.
These people are in a weird fantasy land. Well, he
was on a podcast called Diary of a CEO and
(00:52):
the subject was the Electoral College. The electoral college was
established to create stability in our country and he just
wants to away with it. It wants a straight popular vote,
and why would you think that's radical? Well, his sincerity
is worth paying attention to and understand why they want this.
Let's take a state like Oregon. In the state of Oregon,
(01:18):
you've got Moltnoma County which is liberal, which is really Portland,
and you've got communities like Hawthorne that are white liberal bulwarks,
and they have so many people that live there that
they can win statewide office by winning Portland.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And that's how Chris Dudley.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was Chris Dudley that ran for governor and had
a real shot, and much like Schwarzenegger in California, he
transcended party politics, and people who liked him and remembered
him fondly as a trailblazer voted for him. Who might
have been Democrats wouldn't otherwise vote.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
For a Republican.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But with pure population vote, you would be dominated by
the big cities. And the big cities are where the
illegal aliens are. It's where the most progressive, left wing
socialist communist Democrats are, and they've got a lot of
residents there and they want to dominate our government nationwide.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
So that's the basis of this.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You came to remove the electoral college, Yeah, and do
it based on numbers, the quantity of votes free either
presidential company.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
And I still can't believe that anybody considers this radical.
Like to me, it's something radical about thinking the person
against the most votes ought to be the winner. But
I think people haven't thought through how much benefit would
come from that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We did that.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
There are so many votes in red and blue states
that you couldn't ignore anymore. Like, if you were running
for president as a Democrat, you'd have to go to Texas. Yeah,
and even if Texas is still going to vote mostly
for Republicans, you'd have to turn out every Democratic vote
you could in Texas. And I just think we'd be
so much better off if a Republican and Democratic candidate
were competing over Texas. And by the way, New York.
(03:01):
Even if New York is definitely going to vote more
for Democrats, a Republican candidate would have to come to
New York. And the states from Alaska to Rhode Island,
so it's small states too, they get ignored. Now would
finally be part of this competition. So yeah, electro college
for sure. Supreme Court needs to change. What do you
(03:22):
do to the Supreme Court? I would have term limits,
more justices, and some process that makes them less partisan.
Who the justices are some different ways to do that.
The one I think is most interesting is called the
balanced bench proposal. We have a mix, but anyway, the
point is that it needs to change.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Next you get Pete butter Gig also on the same podcast,
talking about infrastructure and the wealth tax. America can't build
fast trains. Do we need fast trains? Fast trains or
boot dogs? They cost a lot of money and don't work.
California prove that it's wealthy people. If we could just
take all the money from the wealthy people, we could
(04:00):
have nice things. This was the Transportation director, the Transportation
secretary under Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This is the mindset you're dealing with at mouse right.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Whenever we figure out a way to make sure you
can't hide all of your wealth from or all of
your income from being fairly taxed, very wealthy people will
figure out some other place to hide it. Yeah, and
then we'll have to develop a new policy to deal
with that. I guess my point is that's okay. Too
often we have just hesitated to do anything, refuse to
do anything because it might be hard, or because it
might not last. But if the idea that somebody will
(04:36):
figure out a way around this law meant that you
shouldn't have the law, that would be an argument against
having any law. So it's messy, it's hard. But I
am sure that if we had a more reasonable rate
of taxation on capital gands and on corporate income, and
if we made it harder to pass along wealth without
especially inherited wealth, without paying any taxes on it, or
(04:57):
some of these other maneuvers like this borrowing thing you're
talking aout about. We would have a fairer country because
we'd still have capitalism. There'd still be lots of motivation
and lots of reason to innovate and build a business
and create jobs and do all the things that very
wealthy people have done. And also we would be out
of this doom loop ruin where they're saying, well, we
can't possibly have as good healthcare as other countries. We
(05:19):
couldn't possibly do some like I don't know, fast trains
here in the United State. We couldn't possibly have rural
hospitals be properly funded, or public education. Of course we can.
This is the wealthiest economy in the world. It just
doesn't add up that we can't have nice things. But
if we aren't collecting a fair level of taxes, then
(05:39):
then of course we're gonna come up short when we're
trying to fund those things. And the biggest thing, well
that numerically that we're facing right now is massive debt.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right, let's talk about media bias.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Shall we a super cut and a flashback, because that's
how we do it. Most shows couldn't handle both at
the same time. But our team Romo, we can handle this.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
This is Seenn anchored Dana Bash, who is.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Awful, horrible left wing enabler a series of questions. She
asked to jd Vance. Don't just listen to the content,
listen to her form and the way she frames things.
The assumptions are baked in one after another, So you
(06:25):
can't just answer the question, sir, do you still beat
your wife?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You first have to say WHOA.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The questions are framed in such a manner that you
can't win, and then they use that to run it
again and again to tear you down, because that's really
the goal here.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
You guys seem to be struggling a little bit. Kamala
Harris has been calling the shots as who There's no
evidence that Kamala Harris threw him overboard, called you and
Donald Trump, and that is weird. Sure, you're saying Tim
Walls doesn't have affection for his wife. I don't even
understand that they have done both. They have both policies
and they are trying to define it. You have been
on the campaign trail, questioning Tim Walls's military record. Governor
(07:05):
Walls served twenty four years. He even stayed after he
could have retired because of nine to eleven more than
the country asked of him. Do you honor his service?
I will say that the Harris Walls campaign did say
that the governor misspoke. That was a month before the
National Guard even announced that it was possible that they
would deploy to a rock and it ended up being
(07:25):
two months. He retired two months before they actually got
the paperwork. I've seen a lot of statements from veterans,
including those you serve with, saying it's just untoward to
be criticizing somebody who served for twenty four years. Donald
Trump didn't serve in the military. He received a medical
draft deferment. Do you find that shameful too?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You don't believe think my service?
Speaker 6 (07:48):
You wrote the foreword for a new book by Heritage
Foundation President Kevin Roberts of Project twenty twenty five. Whether
or not a Trump Vance administration would allow Miffi pristone.
Why is not allowing her to end that pregnancy helpful
or supportive of expanding families? Like you want it to
(08:08):
be batal and could potentially hurt her ability to have
more kids. Said she was almost a childless dog lady
because she didn't happen to meet the right person until
she was.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Forty years old.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Had it arrest me or take me to Texas because
I haven't ready to get out.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Of this state.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
I think Michael Barry, Rob.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Michael Very Show, I like it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Let's talk about COVID lest we give it up, because
it is arguably the greatest Khan ever pulled on the
American people. Let's hear from doctor Ashish Jah. He was
the Biden White House COVID nineteen response coordinator. This is
not a Trump official, This is a Biden official. He
goes on CNN State of the Union with Dana Bash
(08:51):
and blew her mind. She did not like what he
had to say. He's asked about the origins of the virus.
His best assessment. His best assessment is that it probably
was a lab leak. The man who coordinated the Biden
White House pandemic response is basically saying EcoHealth Alliance guy Lion,
(09:16):
Anthony Fauci Lion, this is Biden's guy saying this.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
You re shared a tweet that said, among other things,
the available evidence overwhelmingly does not show that it.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Well, let me say it this way.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
You said that the available evidence points towards research related
incidents in Wuhan as the origin of the COVID nineteen pandemic,
and that we were funding research in an institution where
we lacked full transparency into what research was being conducted.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You agreed with that I did.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
This is going to surply some people. You know, when
I went into the White House, my view was this
was almost surely an natural outbreak media loud leak. Based
on information I learned and based on information I've seen,
I have come to concluded it is more likely to
have been a loud leak. Here's the bottom line. No
one in the United States knows for sure. The only
people who know for sure are people officials in China,
and we still need transparency and accountability on that. So
(10:18):
that is my best assessment. I'm not suggesting I know
for sure, but I'm saying my best assessment is, but
it probably was allowed.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now let's go back to twenty twenty three. Doctor Fauci
was on CNN with Jimmy Costa, you know, the guy
that screams at Trump from the room trying to get attention.
When really, it's just trying to blow his own horn.
It's the lab leak debate. He has the virologists, he
has the epidemiological data, he has the geospatial analysis, and
he tells Jemmy Costa. All intelligence agencies agree this was
(10:51):
not engineered. So again, this would contradict what we just
heard from the guy who ran the response from the
Biden administration.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
Virus may have escape from a lab in China has
been a heated issue of this debate since early on
in the pandemic us. Intelligence agencies are split on that.
Speaker 11 (11:07):
A group of fairly large group a very well respected
evolutionary virologists have examined epidemiological, virological, geospatial data from Wuhan
and have come to the conclusion, not definitively by any means,
but feeling that it is much more likely that it
is a natural occurrence from an animal to a human.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
But simply put, you're not opposed to the intelligence community
putting that information out there.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
There have been recent, as you know, recent discussions that
the Department of Energy has first said that they didn't
think it was a lab leaku, and now with low confidence,
they're saying that it's allowed I don't know what low
confidence means, Jim, and I think that's what's confusing people,
(11:54):
and that's the reason why we really got to get
down to the bottom of this.
Speaker 10 (11:57):
And on this theory of a lab week been wondering this,
do we have any idea how that would even work.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
All of the intelligence agencies agree unanimously that this was
not engineered. Namely, they didn't deliberately do this to make
a bio weapon. Everybody agrees with that a lab leak
could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe
looking for different types of viruses and bats God infected,
(12:24):
went into a lab and was being studied in a lab,
and then it came out of the lab. But if
that's the definition of a lab leak, Jim, then that's
still is a natural occurrence.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
Are there any accounts of that occurring where one might say, Okay,
well there we go. Perhaps this is it, this is
what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Now, let's never forget the vaccine didn't work. We know
that even Pfizers on the CEO said that the vaccine
didn't work. It wasn't technically a vaccine. For that matter,
It did do a lot of harrm. They lied about
how deadly the vaccine was, I mean, how deadly COVID was.
It was a point two percent fifth of one percent
(13:02):
likelihood of death. That's right up there with the flu.
But they said it was three point four percent. Oh oh,
that's what seventeen times as deadly.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But they wanted you to take the vaccine. That was important.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We didn't know what was in that shot, but it
was important that they stick it in you and it'd
be in your body for the rest of your life,
spite proteins to boot. Federal government was going to protect
vaccinated workers from their unvaccinated coworkers. You and me and
Aaron Rodgers, we were the problem. And if you haven't
gotten the shot, well you need to know Joe Biden's
(13:40):
patience was getting thin with you. He's tired of you.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
If you're vaccinated, you can be around the vaccinated or
unvaccinated people. We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated
co workers, But if you're not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated,
you should wear a mask for your own protection of
the protection of other unvaccinated people.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
The choice is yours.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You all made this possible. This is not about freedom
or personal choice. We've had too much conflict, too much bitterness,
too much anger. Understand your anger that those who haven't
gotten backstated, let's be patient, be patient with one another.
You've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Do you remember the name Rochelle Lenski. She was the
Sinner's for Disease Control, the CDC director. Flashback twenty twenty two.
She was at a press conference. She tells the room
that she's going to lose the script she does. What
she shares, supposedly offhandedly, is a feeling that she's been carrying,
(14:44):
a recurring feeling. She'll say something very different later that
same exact day, but right now, at this very moment
that she says, this impending doom.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
Made a promise here tell you the truth, even if
it was not the news we wanted to hear. Now
is one of those times when I have to share
the truth and I have to hope and trust you
will listen. I'm going to pause here, I'm going to
lose the script and I'm going to reflect on the
recurring feeling I have.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Of impending do.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Same day, a few hours apart, the same Rachelle Wolinski
she would on MS Now and the feeling had changed.
The vaccination rates were looking up. She was incredibly optimistic.
The audience was different, but the calendar day was not.
Speaker 13 (15:37):
First of all, of all, I just want to note
that I share this optimism. So I'm so impressed with
our ability to vaccinate at a clip of three million
vaccinations a day. We have ninety three million Americans who
have gotten their first dose, fifty one million who have
gotten their second dose, and we have we can kind
(15:57):
of almost see the end. We're vaccine needing so very fast.
Our data from the CDCs today suggests, you know, that
vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick,
and that it's not just in the chlinical trials, but
it's also in real world data.
Speaker 12 (16:13):
She was twelve, I was thirty, But anything, it was
wonderful to have you, mister President.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
All right, we check in now with men for Tall RICO,
real men standing for real change.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Let's see what the men are up to.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Okay, I'm only telling this circle this because we don't
shame in here. We process Saturday. I got destroyed. Gone?
How did I even get home? Gone?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I walked?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
It was four blocks but spiritually, somebody should have taken
my keys, and it's snuck up on me. That's the thing.
The first one was so innocent, cold, pink little bubbles.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It went down like it forgave me for everything. So
I had another.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
By the third, I was holding Braxton's face in my hand,
telling him he was the most emotionally available man in
that entire parking lot. And I meant it. But that
is not a sober sentence. I texted my ex. The
fizz reminds me of us. I don't even know what
that means. I ate the cherry and I wept because
it was so red and so sweet, and it asked
nothing of me. The bartender learned my name by the end.
(17:24):
He was so proud of me. And I woke up
at four a m. Fully dressed, one lash gone heart,
absolutely racing, and I thought, this is it. This is
my rock bottom. Three three Shirley Temples. I had three
Shirley Temples. I whipped die for James tell Rico, Men
for teal Rico, real men, real change.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Time, bubble time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And you know, there's a certain joy you get from
being right and others wrong. When people told you you
were crazy, when people punished you when people tried to
tear you down, and you stuck to the truth, because
the truth is all that matters. Aaron Rodgers was not
(18:15):
the big dumb athlete that Kareem abdul Jabbar said that
he was acting like. Kareem abdul Jabbar turned out to
be the big dumb athlete. But Kareem abdul Jabbar and
a lot of athletes and a lot of media felt
the need to insult Aaron Rodgers for refusing to get
(18:35):
the clock shot. Well, Aaron Rodgers is not letting that pass.
He was on ESPN with Pat McAfee and whatever you
think of his plagues, he doesn't play for the team
that you like or whatever else. He's passed his prime.
None of that matters. All that matters is what happened
in what he said. Listen to this. Do you remember
(19:02):
how Aaron Rodgers was treated. This was Bomani Jones on
News Nation with Chris Cuomo. Aaron Rodgers had presented one
position on the vaccine and then eventually cited Joe Rogan
as an influence. Bomani Jones's point is precise. The embarrassment
(19:25):
began the moment he named Joe Rogan. Well, Rogan took
ivermecten and it made him much better. And you'll remember
CNN had to use a yellow filter over the video
of him to make him look more sick. And he
recovered because of iver maacton, ivermecton. You know, the horse
pace you shouldn't take That won a Nobel Prize for
(19:49):
its inventor, not for its treatment of horses, but humans.
Do you remember how Jake tapped a CNN covered the
Aaron Rodgers vaccination story. Aaron Rodgers had told people he
was immunized, he got COVID. Remember that's what Fauci said
(20:10):
back in the day. The best immunization against the flu
is to have the flu. Your body creates antibodies. You
don't need a vaccine. After that, well, Aaron rodgers explanation
for the way he was subsequently treated was not an apology.
It was that the woke mob came after him. Doctor
(20:42):
Robert Wilder, a physician. It's just from a long time ago.
He's at a press conference calling what was done in
the name of science, what Fauci and others did back
during the HIV crisis. By the way, Fauci's a monster
asked people who live through the AIDS era what he did.
He says, the biggest scandal ever perpetrated against humanity, and
(21:05):
he accuses them of genocide, and he says it on camera.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
In Public.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Justice, Katanji Brown Jackson was put on the Supreme Court
by Joe Biden because she's a black woman, just as
he announced that he would have a black woman as
his vice presidential candidate. It was originally going to be
Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, and then there
was audio that came forward and interviews where she was
(21:38):
part of a communist group that went down to Cuba
and for the rest of her life she talked about
how great Castro was and they can't even keep the
lights on, so that would have cost them Florida overnight.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So he had to find another black woman. He got Kamala.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Harris Well for the black woman for the Supreme Court.
He got the really really really not smart Katanji Brown Jackson.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Well.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
She went on Michelle Obama's podcast, Michelle and her Brother,
Oh How Sweet. The conversation turned to how black students
are treated in higher education, specifically whether students are treated,
whether students are better served being grouped.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
With students of the same race.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
In other words, should black people just associate with black
people because you know those whities they are evil? Hunter Motts,
I don't know if it's Mots or Matts is an
educator who appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast. He's explaining
(22:42):
Thomas Soul's central argument, the one the left has never
been willing to engage with. Honestly, two groups, both with
dark skin, both descended from slavery, both facing racism in America.
One succeeds at drummadically higher rates than the other, And
(23:03):
Thomas Soule asks the question that ends the conversation. If
racism explains the failure, why don't they both fail? Hunter
Monts continues from the Joe Rogan podcast. It's a separate
(23:27):
cut that stands on its own. Thomas Oule's book Black
Rednecks White Liberals, which, by the way, I cannot recommend
highly enough to you read that book, especially if you
are a black person who says, why don't I believe
like other black people? Why do I believe seeming like
(23:47):
white people? Why do I believe in such a manner
that causes other blacks to call me an uncle? Tom
or a house Negro. Why don't I share the same
views of other people who look like me? Why do
I share traditionally American views, views on opportunity? What makes
(24:07):
me different? That's what the book's about. Black rednecks, white liberals.
After slavery, before the government got heavily involved, black Americans
were making measurable progress. Marriage rates were higher than whites.
Education was revered.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Booker T.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Washington, a man who had been an actual slave, saw
a schoolhouse and thought it was as close to heaven
on earth as a person could get. You could learn,
and then something reversed his argument.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
This is Hunter Matt's making the argument. If you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Defeat racism by telling people it's wrong, you defeat it
by telling a better fool, what a maroon? Michael, you
heard me say over the years that everybody should have
to be an hoa president, everybody should have to be
(25:10):
a substitute teacher, everybody should have to be a Little
League coach, and yes, everybody should have to be an
umpire referee because people can be brutal to those people.
I received an email from a fellow by the name
of Colin Carsrude say that twice who needs to buy
a vowel. And he has a video production company. They've
(25:33):
made some pretty I think they finished kind of a
season of this and they're really cool videos. And he
sent me one he thought I would be interested in.
In the Curly Hayes Official Award winner which is for
Referee of the Year at the Texas High School Coaching Association.
And the winner was a fellow named Ricky Prime. And
here's the one minute video on Richard.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
There couldn't be anybody more deserving than Ricky Prime to
get this award.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
In my opinion, if the number one award for in
a football epick on saying the text.
Speaker 14 (26:02):
They've got one of the toughest jobs outside of a
coach on Friday night. To be honest with you, I mean,
because they can make nine times to the calls correctly,
and they make one.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Ain't nobody remember.
Speaker 14 (26:11):
That I and nine they may correct, it's the one
they made wrong.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Just keep working, put in the work, and if you
do the work, the right people will see you and
the right people will love you up. It's not what
doors you can open, because you may not be able
to open any, but you need the right people talking
about you and the doors that are closed.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
He's had a lot of personal friends that he's been
on the field with me included. But you know, between
those lines, it's all about business.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
You know.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
One of the best things about him is is his professionalism.
You know, we can talk pregame and talk about family
and how MoMA and the boys are doing or whatever
it is, but when it's time to play football, he
was absolutely all about business.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
And like I told my crew today, my name may
be on this award, but it's not about me. It's
about these And I've learned from plenty of none things
to do better, but also thanks nothing to do and
you just work together to make sure that ship goes
rowing in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Thank you to call on cars Rude and the Deep
in the Heart video production company that made that video
and suggested Ricky Prime as a guest of ours. He
is the referee who was honored by the coaches his
Referee of the Year. Ricky, why to start with, did
you want to be a referee?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
I wanted to be a referee because back in the
day when it going to school playing baseball for the
Cajuns and Lafayette, a good friend of mine came in said,
do you want to work at McDonald's or do you
want to have fun doing the sport you love? And
I was like, we definitely want to do the sport
we love.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
So st sir, do you do this full time? I
do not. No, sir, you have a day job.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
I do have a day job.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What do you do in your day job?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
I am with BSN Sports.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Uh, yeah, I'm familiar with those guys.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
My my friend Cody Johnson, uh works with them on
the big you know when you go into.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
The stadium and it says mustang.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Absolute. He's one of the guys. He's one of their
top guys. He has an independent company.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
He's one of the guys who does that for high
school stadiums, college stadiums, you name. He does it for
all of them. And he's done very very well at it.
He has his company is called sign press dot Com
and so he's driving out to high schools all across.
He was in he was in Orange the other day
and he said, I met your old high school Ricky Prime.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, it's an age old tradition the dads of
kids and maybe the moms too, saying you blew the
call right, you blew the call?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
When do they have it right? When do you most
often blow the call?
Speaker 8 (28:51):
There is a lot of times that you know you
have questionable calls. Not necessarily you blow the call, but
there has been times, even in my ballgames, where that
call was blown. And whenever you're working with seven different
guys on a football field, like I had the opportunity
to do last year, unfortunately in one of our ball games.
(29:12):
Because we're human, it came at an inopportune time.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Sure, it's the only time it matters, absolutely, And if
you miss a clip on the third play and they
get seven yards, you know they're gonna, you know, order
you some glasses.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But you know you didn't. You didn't affect the game.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
But you miss a pass interference call in the last
play of the game, one way or another, you you're
changing the game. What is the most unfair thing that
parents say to you from the stands?
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Really, in varsity football, you really can't hear them because
the band's playing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
But take up the band then yeah, absolutely, Division.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
One football you can't hear them either, just because you're
so far from them. So that'd be bringing me back
a long way to be able to go back to
the little league days because of you.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's your dard.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
No, no, that that's that's the proper answer. The answer
is you deal with it by blocking it out. And
and most professionals do that. Stand up comics have to
block out hecklers unless they're going to do crowd work.
Musicians have to block out hecklers or screamers. And and
it's a it's a it's a part of doing your
job right. It's a professional it's a professional skill set.
(30:25):
When you when you leave the field, what's the thing
that a parent or a coach can say.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
To you that makes you so proud of the work
you just did.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
As you heard in that introduction today, it's it's the
guys like Brad Laplan and Jared Sloan, Joe Sam and
others that were even in our wedding, Candith and I
is wedding that it makes a difference because I've called
a lot of games throughout the years for some of
my best friends. But at the end of the day,
(30:56):
you know, it's about business from the time that will
blows until the time the whistles stops blowing, and whenever
you've stepped off that football field and they're actually you
can still be friends. Is the positive of this. I
have more coaching friends than I probably do anybody else,
just because I work in the business. So that's a
(31:20):
very big blessing. And coaches have one of the hardest
jobs in America. I mean, let's face it, dealing with
fourteen eighteen year old kids at a varsity level, right,
So you have to realize that you're really working with
their lives and you can't take it as a hobby.
You have to take it serious. And like I said,
whenever you step off the football field and you're still
(31:43):
friends afterwards. You may have a disagreement, but that's okay,
but you understand each other enough that you respect each other.
And that's big.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I'm glad good people do it. I've got one minute left.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I hear I used to hear, I don't hear it
anymore that rest were getting out of the business because
parents had gotten worse.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They were meaner, they were more aggressive and more vocal.
Is that true?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
So we are having a major problem across the board
in the United States with that issue, and we're trying
to put programs into schools that the young kids in
high school can learn the profession because we need good
guys coming up, our ladies for that matter, because I
work with quite a few of those as well, and
(32:29):
we just need more great people to be able to
carry on the game of football, especially here in Texas.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Can't have the game without a ref and I'm glad
good people are willing to do it.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Well.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Congratulations on the honor. It was a nice video. I
can tell you take great pride in what you do and.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'm glad you do do it because I wouldn't want
to do it, and I think most people.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Feel the same.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I'm glad there are people that are drawn to be
a teacher, a coach, a referee, a soldier because we
meet him Ricky Prime, congratulations on the Curly Hayes Official
Award from the coaches your peers.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Thank you, sir, Hey the gentlemen Elvis has little ability.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Thank you and good night.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Arry Show is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That you've missed Old Pete butter gig. Haven't you remember
Mayor Pete?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah? Remember he and his boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
They put a plastic boob on his chest so it
would look like he was nursing a baby. Remember when
they adopted and they got in bed as if they'd
just given birth through their loins and held the baby.
Because it's all cosplaying, it's all acting, it's all silly.
These people are in a weird fantasy land. Well, he
was on a podcast called Diary of a CEO and
(00:52):
the subject was the Electoral College. The electoral college was
established to create stability in our country and he just
wants to away with it. It wants a straight popular vote,
and why would you think that's radical? Well, his sincerity
is worth paying attention to and understand why they want this.
Let's take a state like Oregon. In the state of Oregon,
(01:18):
you've got Moltnoma County which is liberal, which is really Portland,
and you've got communities like Hawthorne that are white liberal bulwarks,
and they have so many people that live there that
they can win statewide office by winning Portland.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And that's how Chris Dudley.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was Chris Dudley that ran for governor and had
a real shot, and much like Schwarzenegger in California, he
transcended party politics, and people who liked him and remembered
him fondly as a trailblazer voted for him. Who might
have been Democrats wouldn't otherwise vote.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
For a Republican.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But with pure population vote, you would be dominated by
the big cities. And the big cities are where the
illegal aliens are. It's where the most progressive, left wing
socialist communist Democrats are, and they've got a lot of
residents there and they want to dominate our government nationwide.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
So that's the basis of this.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You came to remove the electoral college, Yeah, and do
it based on numbers, the quantity of votes free either
presidential company.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
And I still can't believe that anybody considers this radical.
Like to me, it's something radical about thinking the person
against the most votes ought to be the winner. But
I think people haven't thought through how much benefit would
come from that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We did that.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
There are so many votes in red and blue states
that you couldn't ignore anymore. Like, if you were running
for president as a Democrat, you'd have to go to Texas. Yeah,
and even if Texas is still going to vote mostly
for Republicans, you'd have to turn out every Democratic vote
you could in Texas. And I just think we'd be
so much better off if a Republican and Democratic candidate
were competing over Texas. And by the way, New York.
(03:01):
Even if New York is definitely going to vote more
for Democrats, a Republican candidate would have to come to
New York. And the states from Alaska to Rhode Island,
so it's small states too, they get ignored. Now would
finally be part of this competition. So yeah, electro college
for sure. Supreme Court needs to change. What do you
(03:22):
do to the Supreme Court? I would have term limits,
more justices, and some process that makes them less partisan.
Who the justices are some different ways to do that.
The one I think is most interesting is called the
balanced bench proposal. We have a mix, but anyway, the
point is that it needs to change.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Next you get Pete butter Gig also on the same podcast,
talking about infrastructure and the wealth tax. America can't build
fast trains. Do we need fast trains? Fast trains or
boot dogs? They cost a lot of money and don't work.
California prove that it's wealthy people. If we could just
take all the money from the wealthy people, we could
(04:00):
have nice things. This was the Transportation director, the Transportation
secretary under Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This is the mindset you're dealing with at mouse right.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Whenever we figure out a way to make sure you
can't hide all of your wealth from or all of
your income from being fairly taxed, very wealthy people will
figure out some other place to hide it. Yeah, and
then we'll have to develop a new policy to deal
with that. I guess my point is that's okay. Too
often we have just hesitated to do anything, refuse to
do anything because it might be hard, or because it
might not last. But if the idea that somebody will
(04:36):
figure out a way around this law meant that you
shouldn't have the law, that would be an argument against
having any law. So it's messy, it's hard. But I
am sure that if we had a more reasonable rate
of taxation on capital gands and on corporate income, and
if we made it harder to pass along wealth without
especially inherited wealth, without paying any taxes on it, or
(04:57):
some of these other maneuvers like this borrowing thing you're
talking aout about. We would have a fairer country because
we'd still have capitalism. There'd still be lots of motivation
and lots of reason to innovate and build a business
and create jobs and do all the things that very
wealthy people have done. And also we would be out
of this doom loop ruin where they're saying, well, we
can't possibly have as good healthcare as other countries. We
(05:19):
couldn't possibly do some like I don't know, fast trains
here in the United State. We couldn't possibly have rural
hospitals be properly funded, or public education. Of course we can.
This is the wealthiest economy in the world. It just
doesn't add up that we can't have nice things. But
if we aren't collecting a fair level of taxes, then
(05:39):
then of course we're gonna come up short when we're
trying to fund those things. And the biggest thing, well
that numerically that we're facing right now is massive debt.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right, let's talk about media bias.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Shall we a super cut and a flashback, because that's
how we do it. Most shows couldn't handle both at
the same time. But our team Romo, we can handle this.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
This is Seenn anchored Dana Bash, who is.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Awful, horrible left wing enabler a series of questions. She
asked to jd Vance. Don't just listen to the content,
listen to her form and the way she frames things.
The assumptions are baked in one after another, So you
(06:25):
can't just answer the question, sir, do you still beat
your wife?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You first have to say WHOA.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The questions are framed in such a manner that you
can't win, and then they use that to run it
again and again to tear you down, because that's really
the goal here.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
You guys seem to be struggling a little bit. Kamala
Harris has been calling the shots as who There's no
evidence that Kamala Harris threw him overboard, called you and
Donald Trump, and that is weird. Sure, you're saying Tim
Walls doesn't have affection for his wife. I don't even
understand that they have done both. They have both policies
and they are trying to define it. You have been
on the campaign trail, questioning Tim Walls's military record. Governor
(07:05):
Walls served twenty four years. He even stayed after he
could have retired because of nine to eleven more than
the country asked of him. Do you honor his service?
I will say that the Harris Walls campaign did say
that the governor misspoke. That was a month before the
National Guard even announced that it was possible that they
would deploy to a rock and it ended up being
(07:25):
two months. He retired two months before they actually got
the paperwork. I've seen a lot of statements from veterans,
including those you serve with, saying it's just untoward to
be criticizing somebody who served for twenty four years. Donald
Trump didn't serve in the military. He received a medical
draft deferment. Do you find that shameful too?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You don't believe think my service?
Speaker 6 (07:48):
You wrote the foreword for a new book by Heritage
Foundation President Kevin Roberts of Project twenty twenty five. Whether
or not a Trump Vance administration would allow Miffi pristone.
Why is not allowing her to end that pregnancy helpful
or supportive of expanding families? Like you want it to
(08:08):
be batal and could potentially hurt her ability to have
more kids. Said she was almost a childless dog lady
because she didn't happen to meet the right person until
she was.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Forty years old.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Had it arrest me or take me to Texas because
I haven't ready to get out.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Of this state.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
I think Michael Barry, Rob.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Michael Very Show, I like it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Let's talk about COVID lest we give it up, because
it is arguably the greatest Khan ever pulled on the
American people. Let's hear from doctor Ashish Jah. He was
the Biden White House COVID nineteen response coordinator. This is
not a Trump official, This is a Biden official. He
goes on CNN State of the Union with Dana Bash
(08:51):
and blew her mind. She did not like what he
had to say. He's asked about the origins of the virus.
His best assessment. His best assessment is that it probably
was a lab leak. The man who coordinated the Biden
White House pandemic response is basically saying EcoHealth Alliance guy Lion,
(09:16):
Anthony Fauci Lion, this is Biden's guy saying this.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
You re shared a tweet that said, among other things,
the available evidence overwhelmingly does not show that it.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Well, let me say it this way.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
You said that the available evidence points towards research related
incidents in Wuhan as the origin of the COVID nineteen pandemic,
and that we were funding research in an institution where
we lacked full transparency into what research was being conducted.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You agreed with that I did.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
This is going to surply some people. You know, when
I went into the White House, my view was this
was almost surely an natural outbreak media loud leak. Based
on information I learned and based on information I've seen,
I have come to concluded it is more likely to
have been a loud leak. Here's the bottom line. No
one in the United States knows for sure. The only
people who know for sure are people officials in China,
and we still need transparency and accountability on that. So
(10:18):
that is my best assessment. I'm not suggesting I know
for sure, but I'm saying my best assessment is, but
it probably was allowed.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now let's go back to twenty twenty three. Doctor Fauci
was on CNN with Jimmy Costa, you know, the guy
that screams at Trump from the room trying to get attention.
When really, it's just trying to blow his own horn.
It's the lab leak debate. He has the virologists, he
has the epidemiological data, he has the geospatial analysis, and
he tells Jemmy Costa. All intelligence agencies agree this was
(10:51):
not engineered. So again, this would contradict what we just
heard from the guy who ran the response from the
Biden administration.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
Virus may have escape from a lab in China has
been a heated issue of this debate since early on
in the pandemic us. Intelligence agencies are split on that.
Speaker 11 (11:07):
A group of fairly large group a very well respected
evolutionary virologists have examined epidemiological, virological, geospatial data from Wuhan
and have come to the conclusion, not definitively by any means,
but feeling that it is much more likely that it
is a natural occurrence from an animal to a human.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
But simply put, you're not opposed to the intelligence community
putting that information out there.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
There have been recent, as you know, recent discussions that
the Department of Energy has first said that they didn't
think it was a lab leaku, and now with low confidence,
they're saying that it's allowed I don't know what low
confidence means, Jim, and I think that's what's confusing people,
(11:54):
and that's the reason why we really got to get
down to the bottom of this.
Speaker 10 (11:57):
And on this theory of a lab week been wondering this,
do we have any idea how that would even work.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
All of the intelligence agencies agree unanimously that this was
not engineered. Namely, they didn't deliberately do this to make
a bio weapon. Everybody agrees with that a lab leak
could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe
looking for different types of viruses and bats God infected,
(12:24):
went into a lab and was being studied in a lab,
and then it came out of the lab. But if
that's the definition of a lab leak, Jim, then that's
still is a natural occurrence.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
Are there any accounts of that occurring where one might say, Okay,
well there we go. Perhaps this is it, this is
what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Now, let's never forget the vaccine didn't work. We know
that even Pfizers on the CEO said that the vaccine
didn't work. It wasn't technically a vaccine. For that matter,
It did do a lot of harrm. They lied about
how deadly the vaccine was, I mean, how deadly COVID was.
It was a point two percent fifth of one percent
(13:02):
likelihood of death. That's right up there with the flu.
But they said it was three point four percent. Oh oh,
that's what seventeen times as deadly.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But they wanted you to take the vaccine. That was important.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We didn't know what was in that shot, but it
was important that they stick it in you and it'd
be in your body for the rest of your life,
spite proteins to boot. Federal government was going to protect
vaccinated workers from their unvaccinated coworkers. You and me and
Aaron Rodgers, we were the problem. And if you haven't
gotten the shot, well you need to know Joe Biden's
(13:40):
patience was getting thin with you. He's tired of you.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
If you're vaccinated, you can be around the vaccinated or
unvaccinated people. We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated
co workers, But if you're not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated,
you should wear a mask for your own protection of
the protection of other unvaccinated people.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
The choice is yours.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
You all made this possible. This is not about freedom
or personal choice. We've had too much conflict, too much bitterness,
too much anger. Understand your anger that those who haven't
gotten backstated, let's be patient, be patient with one another.
You've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Do you remember the name Rochelle Lenski. She was the
Sinner's for Disease Control, the CDC director. Flashback twenty twenty two.
She was at a press conference. She tells the room
that she's going to lose the script she does. What
she shares, supposedly offhandedly, is a feeling that she's been carrying,
(14:44):
a recurring feeling. She'll say something very different later that
same exact day, but right now, at this very moment
that she says, this impending doom.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
Made a promise here tell you the truth, even if
it was not the news we wanted to hear. Now
is one of those times when I have to share
the truth and I have to hope and trust you
will listen. I'm going to pause here, I'm going to
lose the script and I'm going to reflect on the
recurring feeling I have.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Of impending do.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Same day, a few hours apart, the same Rachelle Wolinski
she would on MS Now and the feeling had changed.
The vaccination rates were looking up. She was incredibly optimistic.
The audience was different, but the calendar day was not.
Speaker 13 (15:37):
First of all, of all, I just want to note
that I share this optimism. So I'm so impressed with
our ability to vaccinate at a clip of three million
vaccinations a day. We have ninety three million Americans who
have gotten their first dose, fifty one million who have
gotten their second dose, and we have we can kind
(15:57):
of almost see the end. We're vaccine needing so very fast.
Our data from the CDCs today suggests, you know, that
vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick,
and that it's not just in the chlinical trials, but
it's also in real world data.
Speaker 12 (16:13):
She was twelve, I was thirty, But anything, it was
wonderful to have you, mister President.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
The Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
All right, we check in now with men for Tall RICO,
real men standing for real change.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Let's see what the men are up to.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Okay, I'm only telling this circle this because we don't
shame in here. We process Saturday. I got destroyed. Gone?
How did I even get home? Gone?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I walked?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
It was four blocks but spiritually, somebody should have taken
my keys, and it's snuck up on me. That's the thing.
The first one was so innocent, cold, pink little bubbles.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It went down like it forgave me for everything. So
I had another.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
By the third, I was holding Braxton's face in my hand,
telling him he was the most emotionally available man in
that entire parking lot. And I meant it. But that
is not a sober sentence. I texted my ex. The
fizz reminds me of us. I don't even know what
that means. I ate the cherry and I wept because
it was so red and so sweet, and it asked
nothing of me. The bartender learned my name by the end.
(17:24):
He was so proud of me. And I woke up
at four a m. Fully dressed, one lash gone heart,
absolutely racing, and I thought, this is it. This is
my rock bottom. Three three Shirley Temples. I had three
Shirley Temples. I whipped die for James tell Rico, Men
for teal Rico, real men, real change.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Time, bubble time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And you know, there's a certain joy you get from
being right and others wrong. When people told you you
were crazy, when people punished you when people tried to
tear you down, and you stuck to the truth, because
the truth is all that matters. Aaron Rodgers was not
(18:15):
the big dumb athlete that Kareem abdul Jabbar said that
he was acting like. Kareem abdul Jabbar turned out to
be the big dumb athlete. But Kareem abdul Jabbar and
a lot of athletes and a lot of media felt
the need to insult Aaron Rodgers for refusing to get
(18:35):
the clock shot. Well, Aaron Rodgers is not letting that pass.
He was on ESPN with Pat McAfee and whatever you
think of his plagues, he doesn't play for the team
that you like or whatever else. He's passed his prime.
None of that matters. All that matters is what happened
in what he said. Listen to this. Do you remember
(19:02):
how Aaron Rodgers was treated. This was Bomani Jones on
News Nation with Chris Cuomo. Aaron Rodgers had presented one
position on the vaccine and then eventually cited Joe Rogan
as an influence. Bomani Jones's point is precise. The embarrassment
(19:25):
began the moment he named Joe Rogan. Well, Rogan took
ivermecten and it made him much better. And you'll remember
CNN had to use a yellow filter over the video
of him to make him look more sick. And he
recovered because of iver maacton, ivermecton. You know, the horse
pace you shouldn't take That won a Nobel Prize for
(19:49):
its inventor, not for its treatment of horses, but humans.
Do you remember how Jake tapped a CNN covered the
Aaron Rodgers vaccination story. Aaron Rodgers had told people he
was immunized, he got COVID. Remember that's what Fauci said
(20:10):
back in the day. The best immunization against the flu
is to have the flu. Your body creates antibodies. You
don't need a vaccine. After that, well, Aaron rodgers explanation
for the way he was subsequently treated was not an apology.
It was that the woke mob came after him. Doctor
(20:42):
Robert Wilder, a physician. It's just from a long time ago.
He's at a press conference calling what was done in
the name of science, what Fauci and others did back
during the HIV crisis. By the way, Fauci's a monster
asked people who live through the AIDS era what he did.
He says, the biggest scandal ever perpetrated against humanity, and
(21:05):
he accuses them of genocide, and he says it on camera.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
In Public.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Justice, Katanji Brown Jackson was put on the Supreme Court
by Joe Biden because she's a black woman, just as
he announced that he would have a black woman as
his vice presidential candidate. It was originally going to be
Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, and then there
was audio that came forward and interviews where she was
(21:38):
part of a communist group that went down to Cuba
and for the rest of her life she talked about
how great Castro was and they can't even keep the
lights on, so that would have cost them Florida overnight.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So he had to find another black woman. He got Kamala.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Harris Well for the black woman for the Supreme Court.
He got the really really really not smart Katanji Brown Jackson.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Well.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
She went on Michelle Obama's podcast, Michelle and her Brother,
Oh How Sweet. The conversation turned to how black students
are treated in higher education, specifically whether students are treated,
whether students are better served being grouped.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
With students of the same race.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
In other words, should black people just associate with black
people because you know those whities they are evil? Hunter Motts,
I don't know if it's Mots or Matts is an
educator who appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast. He's explaining
(22:42):
Thomas Soul's central argument, the one the left has never
been willing to engage with. Honestly, two groups, both with
dark skin, both descended from slavery, both facing racism in America.
One succeeds at drummadically higher rates than the other, And
(23:03):
Thomas Soule asks the question that ends the conversation. If
racism explains the failure, why don't they both fail? Hunter
Monts continues from the Joe Rogan podcast. It's a separate
(23:27):
cut that stands on its own. Thomas Oule's book Black
Rednecks White Liberals, which, by the way, I cannot recommend
highly enough to you read that book, especially if you
are a black person who says, why don't I believe
like other black people? Why do I believe seeming like
(23:47):
white people? Why do I believe in such a manner
that causes other blacks to call me an uncle? Tom
or a house Negro. Why don't I share the same
views of other people who look like me? Why do
I share traditionally American views, views on opportunity? What makes
(24:07):
me different? That's what the book's about. Black rednecks, white liberals.
After slavery, before the government got heavily involved, black Americans
were making measurable progress. Marriage rates were higher than whites.
Education was revered.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Booker T.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Washington, a man who had been an actual slave, saw
a schoolhouse and thought it was as close to heaven
on earth as a person could get. You could learn,
and then something reversed his argument.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
This is Hunter Matt's making the argument. If you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Defeat racism by telling people it's wrong, you defeat it
by telling a better fool, what a maroon? Michael, you
heard me say over the years that everybody should have
to be an hoa president, everybody should have to be
(25:10):
a substitute teacher, everybody should have to be a Little
League coach, and yes, everybody should have to be an
umpire referee because people can be brutal to those people.
I received an email from a fellow by the name
of Colin Carsrude say that twice who needs to buy
a vowel. And he has a video production company. They've
(25:33):
made some pretty I think they finished kind of a
season of this and they're really cool videos. And he
sent me one he thought I would be interested in.
In the Curly Hayes Official Award winner which is for
Referee of the Year at the Texas High School Coaching Association.
And the winner was a fellow named Ricky Prime. And
here's the one minute video on Richard.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
There couldn't be anybody more deserving than Ricky Prime to
get this award.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
In my opinion, if the number one award for in
a football epick on saying the text.
Speaker 14 (26:02):
They've got one of the toughest jobs outside of a
coach on Friday night. To be honest with you, I mean,
because they can make nine times to the calls correctly,
and they make one.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Ain't nobody remember.
Speaker 14 (26:11):
That I and nine they may correct, it's the one
they made wrong.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Just keep working, put in the work, and if you
do the work, the right people will see you and
the right people will love you up. It's not what
doors you can open, because you may not be able
to open any, but you need the right people talking
about you and the doors that are closed.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
He's had a lot of personal friends that he's been
on the field with me included. But you know, between
those lines, it's all about business.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
You know.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
One of the best things about him is is his professionalism.
You know, we can talk pregame and talk about family
and how MoMA and the boys are doing or whatever
it is, but when it's time to play football, he
was absolutely all about business.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
And like I told my crew today, my name may
be on this award, but it's not about me. It's
about these And I've learned from plenty of none things
to do better, but also thanks nothing to do and
you just work together to make sure that ship goes
rowing in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Thank you to call on cars Rude and the Deep
in the Heart video production company that made that video
and suggested Ricky Prime as a guest of ours. He
is the referee who was honored by the coaches his
Referee of the Year. Ricky, why to start with, did
you want to be a referee?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
I wanted to be a referee because back in the
day when it going to school playing baseball for the
Cajuns and Lafayette, a good friend of mine came in said,
do you want to work at McDonald's or do you
want to have fun doing the sport you love? And
I was like, we definitely want to do the sport
we love.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
So st sir, do you do this full time? I
do not. No, sir, you have a day job.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
I do have a day job.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What do you do in your day job?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
I am with BSN Sports.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Uh, yeah, I'm familiar with those guys.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
My my friend Cody Johnson, uh works with them on
the big you know when you go into.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
The stadium and it says mustang.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Absolute. He's one of the guys. He's one of their
top guys. He has an independent company.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
He's one of the guys who does that for high
school stadiums, college stadiums, you name. He does it for
all of them. And he's done very very well at it.
He has his company is called sign press dot Com
and so he's driving out to high schools all across.
He was in he was in Orange the other day
and he said, I met your old high school Ricky Prime.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You know, it's an age old tradition the dads of
kids and maybe the moms too, saying you blew the
call right, you blew the call?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
When do they have it right? When do you most
often blow the call?
Speaker 8 (28:51):
There is a lot of times that you know you
have questionable calls. Not necessarily you blow the call, but
there has been times, even in my ballgames, where that
call was blown. And whenever you're working with seven different
guys on a football field, like I had the opportunity
to do last year, unfortunately in one of our ball games.
(29:12):
Because we're human, it came at an inopportune time.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Sure, it's the only time it matters, absolutely, And if
you miss a clip on the third play and they
get seven yards, you know they're gonna, you know, order
you some glasses.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
But you know you didn't. You didn't affect the game.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
But you miss a pass interference call in the last
play of the game, one way or another, you you're
changing the game. What is the most unfair thing that
parents say to you from the stands?
Speaker 8 (29:40):
Really, in varsity football, you really can't hear them because
the band's playing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
But take up the band then yeah, absolutely, Division.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
One football you can't hear them either, just because you're
so far from them. So that'd be bringing me back
a long way to be able to go back to
the little league days because of you.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's your dard.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
No, no, that that's that's the proper answer. The answer
is you deal with it by blocking it out. And
and most professionals do that. Stand up comics have to
block out hecklers unless they're going to do crowd work.
Musicians have to block out hecklers or screamers. And and
it's a it's a it's a part of doing your
job right. It's a professional it's a professional skill set.
(30:25):
When you when you leave the field, what's the thing
that a parent or a coach can say.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
To you that makes you so proud of the work
you just did.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
As you heard in that introduction today, it's it's the
guys like Brad Laplan and Jared Sloan, Joe Sam and
others that were even in our wedding, Candith and I
is wedding that it makes a difference because I've called
a lot of games throughout the years for some of
my best friends. But at the end of the day,
(30:56):
you know, it's about business from the time that will
blows until the time the whistles stops blowing, and whenever
you've stepped off that football field and they're actually you
can still be friends. Is the positive of this. I
have more coaching friends than I probably do anybody else,
just because I work in the business. So that's a
(31:20):
very big blessing. And coaches have one of the hardest
jobs in America. I mean, let's face it, dealing with
fourteen eighteen year old kids at a varsity level, right,
So you have to realize that you're really working with
their lives and you can't take it as a hobby.
You have to take it serious. And like I said,
whenever you step off the football field and you're still
(31:43):
friends afterwards. You may have a disagreement, but that's okay,
but you understand each other enough that you respect each other.
And that's big.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I'm glad good people do it. I've got one minute left.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I hear I used to hear, I don't hear it
anymore that rest were getting out of the business because
parents had gotten worse.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They were meaner, they were more aggressive and more vocal.
Is that true?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
So we are having a major problem across the board
in the United States with that issue, and we're trying
to put programs into schools that the young kids in
high school can learn the profession because we need good
guys coming up, our ladies for that matter, because I
work with quite a few of those as well, and
(32:29):
we just need more great people to be able to
carry on the game of football, especially here in Texas.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Can't have the game without a ref and I'm glad
good people are willing to do it.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Well.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Congratulations on the honor. It was a nice video. I
can tell you take great pride in what you do and.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I'm glad you do do it because I wouldn't want
to do it, and I think most people.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Feel the same.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I'm glad there are people that are drawn to be
a teacher, a coach, a referee, a soldier because we
meet him Ricky Prime, congratulations on the Curly Hayes Official
Award from the coaches your peers.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Thank you, sir, Hey the gentlemen Elvis has little ability.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Thank you and good night.
