1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: It's that time time sign time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. When I started 3 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: in radio, I was pulled by a longtime radio inside, 4 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: do not measure quality of your program based on the 5 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: number of calls and hold on water breaking, do not 6 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: measure the quality of radio based on the number of calls. 7 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: And he said, you know, if you're wise, you will 8 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: study shows around the kind of tree and you will 9 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: hear people who have a lot of calls. It is 10 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: terrible radio. And Rush used to make fun of Alec 11 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Baldwin about this. Alec Baldwin would say he could do 12 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: a radio show. He could do a radio show. So 13 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: they let him do a radio show and fifteen seconds 14 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: into it he said, we have calls and it's a 15 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: running gag in our business that it was the biggest 16 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: flop ever. It was worse than Barack Obama's first pitch 17 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: at a baseball game that you know, ended up in 18 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: center field. 19 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: It was, oh, you have it, Oh, here we go 20 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: when we come back. Oh we have some time. O great, 21 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: we're gonna Can we take some calls. 22 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: Whenever we want? 23 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: Do we have calls that are on? 24 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: There nown no calls yet, No calls yet, what numberdy 25 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: of people called to get on the air, and do 26 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: we have that number? It's right there, you know. 27 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: Do I have the call number in front of me? 28 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so sorry. That's interesting. Twelve ten at PhD. 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: Of course, any other questions you have, any other comments 30 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: you have, call us to the uh what else? 31 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: Call us? Please add. 32 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: If you don't call, we're going to keep reading from 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: the Scientology manual. You might not feel it. You might 34 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: not feel the energy. Right now, where have any calls 35 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: you get there? I him, no call, Let's read some 36 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: more about scientology. So I heard Rush say one time 37 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: he said he was reading. He read his emails as well, 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: because that was that's how you get feedback. And he said, 39 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: people will ask me why I don't take calls until Friday, 40 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: and so we open the phone lines up on Friday. 41 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: So if you had a question, that's what we can't 42 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: get through. But otherwise I don't need to take casts. 43 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I can't take calls. I have too much to talk about. 44 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: And that if people take callses because they don't have 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: anything to say. And that stuck with me, and I 46 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: realized as I studied listening to shows around the country 47 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: that if people don't have anything interesting to say, they 48 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: will solicit phone calls. When I started in radio, the 49 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: person who was head of programming I had, in my opinion, 50 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: very cynical view of the listener. And I was coming 51 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: from elected office where you literally, you know, most radio 52 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: people never meet their listeners. I was coming from hand 53 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: to hand, uh, you know, face to face, slap on 54 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: the back, interact, get insulted politics where you you meet 55 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: people and you you you hear what they have to say, 56 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: so you tend to have a lot more respect for 57 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: people when you do that. His view was, this is 58 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: right wing conservative radio. Angry old white guy. Just say 59 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: something that's controversial and open the phone lines and they'll 60 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: call in. So Phil Hendry show. But you know they're 61 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: not in on the joke. And so he would tell 62 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: me what to say that day, and then you were 63 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: supposed to say, you know, whatever that that thing is, 64 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: and then the calls would call in, and you'd it 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: through the day, and it didn't matter if you were talented. 66 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: In fact, they didn't want talented, just want somebody to 67 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: pass the time and fill the content, do the shift. 68 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: And I just felt like, well that's that's not anyway. 69 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: So all that being said, I learned a long time 70 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: ago not to measure whether a conversation is useful based 71 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: on the number of phone calls. We don't take as 72 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: many calls as we did when we started, because I 73 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: realized that unless it's a topic that I'm kind of 74 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: curious to get interesting perspective on, it's probably not a 75 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: good idea. In fact, Ramo jams the phones for most 76 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: of the day because he has to hear it ringing 77 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: in the background while we have an entire show to 78 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: do well. That's also true of emails. I enjoy reading 79 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: the emails, but I also noticed that sometimes you hit 80 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: a nerve. And I talked about finding the right wife 81 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: and finding the right husband the other day, and I 82 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: noticed an obvious uptick in the number of responses I 83 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: received to that that people who had bad experiences and 84 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: people who had good experiences more bad than good. Honestly, 85 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: a destructive personal relationship, a bad marriage for both sides, 86 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: can end up being something that takes a wonderful life 87 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: off track. It can destroy a life. I mean, you 88 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: make your choices, but it can take you from wealth 89 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: to poverty. It can take you from good health to poor. 90 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: It can relocate you to a part of the world 91 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: you had no business being in because you were being 92 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: the good wife, and now you're stuck and everyone else 93 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: back home has moved on. Me can have a Really 94 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: getting that right is important. So I say, I have 95 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 1: to say this because I am going to take calls, 96 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: and I did get a lot of emails. Brian wrote, Zar, 97 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: you spoke at length about a good wife. I enjoyed 98 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: that segment was two. Actually, I recall a former coworkers 99 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: statement about his first date with his wife. He picked 100 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: her up than his girlfriend. She said, I need to 101 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: go to Walmart. Aren't for super glue. My sandal is broken. 102 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: He told me that at that exact moment, he said, 103 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm marrying this girl. People who have successful marriages, I 104 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: don't just mean longevity. I mean people who enjoy their 105 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: spouse will tell you that what makes their spouse special 106 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: is never the sex. That's great, and yes I will 107 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: address that, but no, not in detail. But I'm just saying, yes, 108 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: of course, that's nice, that's great. I see people ninety 109 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 1: years old, couples ninety years old, still just happy, cannot 110 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: stand to be away from each other. They love each 111 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: other so much. They enjoy their own company so much. 112 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: And I don't know what's going on, knocking bones or not, 113 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: but I do know that they love each other. They 114 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: love what each provides to the other, the ying and 115 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: yang and the compliment to the angles. And it's a glorious, 116 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: glorious thing. But I have come to learn, which is 117 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: what made me think of the I was talking about Olivia, 118 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: my buddy, Michael Robinson's wife, and he had driven back 119 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: to the studio, I mean to his shop, and I 120 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: had asked him what Olivia is up to, and he said, 121 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: she's out pressure washing at the shop in front of 122 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: in front of she runs the office, but she's not 123 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: too good to put some rubber boots on and get 124 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: outside and pressure wash to make sure that the shop 125 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: is clean and the equipment's clean and all that stuff 126 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: at a plumbing shop. I thought, that's pretty again, another 127 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: reason why she makes a good wife. And I was 128 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: talking about those sorts of things, and I thought it'd 129 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: be fun to throw that out seven one three nine 130 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: nine nine one thousand. The line was, he picked her up, 131 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: said we're going to Walmart for super glue. I need 132 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: you to go to Walmart. For super glue. My sandal 133 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: is broken, the fact that she wore a broken sandal 134 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: rather than rushing out to buy a new one. The 135 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: fact that she felt comfortable saying, look, if we're going 136 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: to be a couple, there's going to be times we 137 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: got to stop and get super glue. There's gonna be 138 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: times I need you to run me to the Walmart 139 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: because little Bobby doesn't have the material for his project 140 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: for tomorrow and they're having a science fair and he 141 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: just told me today, you're gonna go. He just told 142 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: you today. Yeah, that's what you did to your mom too. 143 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: It's what kids do. They tell him the day before. 144 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: So what's that moment you knew he or she was 145 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: the one seven one three nine nine nine one thousand 146 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. He's on 147 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: who will done? So this is the Michael Barry Show. 148 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: Eous way, all right, So here's your question for mom. 149 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Touch of those great quandaries, A million dollars or your 150 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: sole kind of thing? You can sing like Ed Sheeran, 151 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: but you got to look like Ed Sheeran. Ooh ooh, yeah, no, 152 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: he is slang. And that does tell you that that 153 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: isn't nothing to do with his good looks. I'll tell 154 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: you what because it's not it's not my vocal style 155 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: or ideal genre. It's pop. But I cannot deny the 156 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: guy can sing. I mean he has a unique ability 157 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: to sing. It's it's it's the male adele and I'm 158 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: gonna hear from opia. I am. He can't thank Kyle 159 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: telling you the dude can sing. You don't sell that 160 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: many albums without an amazing vocal ability. And there's not 161 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: a lot of arrangement to what he does. It's mostly 162 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: old schools, stripped down incredible songsmanship. All right. That moment 163 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: that you knew he or she was the one. And 164 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't mean they want a beauty contest. I mean 165 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: that moment you said, that's the one I want to 166 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: be with.

But I've noticed for for guys and gals, 187 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: when when they get divorced and they're single, they start 188 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: looking at things like they start wanting to show, look, 189 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: I'll be a good partner in running a household, living 190 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: a life as opposed to the you know, the the 191 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: romance that you know, the Romeo and that stuff.

So I was very cynical or cautious, 198 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 5: you might say. So I was to the point to 199 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 5: where I just you know, if it wasn't the right one, 200 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna wasn't gonna even consider it. And when 201 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 5: my wife now came along, and I never expected to 202 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 5: marry a black woman, and she's a black woman. And 203 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: when I first met her, I thought, man, she's got 204 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 5: to be thinking. No one can be this perfect for me. 205 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 5: And every time that I would, I would go home 206 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 5: and I would pray, Lord, if she taken, just please 207 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 5: end it now, so I don't give my heart to her, 208 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: you know, And then I would learn something else about 209 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 5: her that was just so that would blow me away. 210 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 5: That she never let me hold her hand, she never 211 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 5: let me put my arm around her until we had 212 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 5: dated four or six weeks. I mean, she was very cautious. 213 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: She had never been married before, but she had been 214 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 5: burned too, So this was kind of like, oh it dropped. 215 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Did you just say?

We walked a mile and 226 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 6: a half together to the auto parts store and walked 227 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 6: back and he right there on the side road he 228 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 6: fixed his truck and like that was thirty five years ago, 229 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 6: forty years ago, Michael, And he said he knew that 230 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 6: day he wanted to marry me because I did not complain, 231 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 6: not a once.

My heart would have melted. Now 237 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: that's a love story. That's an affair to remember right there, 238 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: but it was. 239 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 6: It was a nineteen seventy six pickup back in the nineties. 240 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 6: And like he fixes everything to this day, and he's 241 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 6: taught me how to fix everything. 242 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: You remember what Chevy for. 243 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 4: It was his. 244 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 6: It was a Chevy.

And then unfortunately his 249 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 6: grandfather had passed away his senior year of high school, 250 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 6: and his grandma hadn't been able to do anything, hadn't 251 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 6: done anything with the truck, and so she gifted it 252 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 6: to him when his constolen. 253 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I love those stories of when Papaul dies and the 254 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: grandson inherits it, and that that's what they wanted.

Those that kind of guy that is a 258 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: distinctly redneck guy that loves Papaul or their Grandpapau and 259 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: they've inherited that old truck and they drive that. They 260 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: don't care what anybody thinks of it because it makes 261 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: them complete.

That 265 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: is a guy that certain women can't be married to 266 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: because they need the guy who drives the flashy car. 267 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: They need to have all the money. If you genuinely 268 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: love somebody and you don't need your husband to be 269 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: on the lifestyles and rich and famous, which a lot 270 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: of women do, and you don't want to be married 271 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: to those kind of women that it makes all the 272 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: difference in the world.

I knew 275 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: my wife was who I wanted to marry when I 276 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: met her parents. We went over for brunch one morning 277 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: around Halloween and her mother had Halloween dishes with cute 278 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: little cats wearing witches hats. She served egg casserole. My 279 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: future wife was mortified by the dishes, but I absolutely 280 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: loved her mother, and I knew this was who I 281 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: wanted to marry. I knew then she would be a 282 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: great wife and mother, and I was right. She's a 283 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: great mother to my kids, and she supports me through 284 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: thick and thin and put puts up with all my shortcomings. 285 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: She is perfect for me. You know, that's the kind 286 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: of thing that a daughter would be mortified her mother 287 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: has done brought out the cute little Halloween plates with 288 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: the witch's hats. I think that shows a great deal 289 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: of confidence, and I think it's cool. James writes, all 290 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: the girlfriends I had before would make a sandwich for me, 291 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: and I'd be lucky if the bread was toasted and 292 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: there was even cheese. Sarah made a sandwich for me. 293 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: It had led us tomatoes, onions, pickled meat, cheese, toasted bread, 294 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: I mean everything. So I tell everyone it was her 295 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: sandwich making abilities that got me. No one had ever 296 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: made me a sandwich that good. You remember that scene 297 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: in The Bronxtail Chas Pulmonary, who should be in every 298 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: movie of the era, and I think he was if 299 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: Copola did it. That was De Niro's director directorial debut. 300 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: Chas Paulmonary is is that actor that I bet more 301 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: people would recognize his face and not know his name 302 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: than any other actor. Abe Vogodo would probably be number two. 303 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: Same era. In a Bronxtail, Sonny who's played by Chess Paulmonary, 304 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: Chad Knockingish reminded me of this story.

I didn't know that. 342 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: I had to go look it up. I was trying 343 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: to remember what his real name was, and I would 344 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: have never remembered that. So what feminism managed to destroy 345 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: and in the process destroyed, I think a lot of 346 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: happy marriages, or what could have been happy marriages. Feminism 347 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: told women that doing something kind for a man is 348 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: a sign of weakness. I will tell you the strongest 349 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: women I have ever known in my life are not 350 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: built on the Hillary Clinton model, or the Michelle Obama model, 351 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: or the Kamala Harris model. Those are self centered, narcissistic, 352 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: miserable people. Longest women I ever knew in my life 353 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: and continue to note till this day, are women who 354 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: will do anything and everything for those around them. You 355 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: can go to the school drop offline see the elementary 356 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: school's kids, and you can see the kid that is 357 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: pushed out because mama's running to meet her friends for rose. 358 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: And you can see the kid whose mother is so 359 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: concerned that that little girl has everything she needs and 360 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: is ready for the day to grow into the human 361 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: being they want to meet, They want to be. When 362 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: you go into a home, and my grandmother, or a 363 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: woman we call granny, my friend Craig McCabe's grandmother lived 364 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: across the street from me, Ms mcabe, and you'd walk 365 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: into her little home, and her little home couldn't have 366 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: been more n eight hundred square feet. It was a 367 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: very very very simple, simple home. But when you walked 368 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: in and the smell would overwhelm you, Oh my goodness, 369 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: you gain ten pounds just walking in the door. And 370 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: you'd walk in and her husband, jac had died, and 371 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: so she had these sons, Horton, who I called home Ade, 372 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: and Larry, and then a daughter, Yvonne, and they all 373 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: had sons, and so those sons were always coming in 374 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: and out of her house, and that's how she wanted it. 375 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: And when you would go in, there would be something. 376 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: There would be a pot of beans on the on 377 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: the on the cook top at all times, on the stove. 378 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: What is the word I'm thinking of. What has the 379 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: burners on it, it's the stove. Right on top of 380 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: the stove, there'd be a pot of beans, if not 381 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: multiple pots of beans. There'd be cornbread that had been 382 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: fresh cooked at all times. There would be any there 383 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: were lots of dishes that have saran wrap over the 384 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: top of them. And then she would just start pulling 385 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: things out. She said, you want this, and she and 386 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: I was like one of her grandkids. So she'd open 387 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: the refrigerator and she would just start pulling things out 388 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: because God forbid you leave. And didn't know she'd made 389 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: a key lime pie or an ice or an ice 390 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: cream pie, or that she'd made these potatoes that she 391 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: could just heat up real quick and you're going to 392 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: love them. You've got to try these potatoes. It's a 393 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: new meg. It's just this active, extreme and utter selfless love. 394 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: And if you've never experienced that, then you can't imagine 395 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: what it is. And so many young women who couldn't 396 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: listen the roles are different. Feminism taught little girls from 397 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: the earliest age to wish you had a penis. It's 398 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: the ultimate penis envy, because if you had a penis. 399 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: Then you get to be strong and smart and life 400 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: is easy, and Mama will spoil you too. Do you 401 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: know why mama spoils a boy for the same reason 402 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: that men spoil their daughters. It's electrocomplex oedipus complex without 403 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: the sexual element. We have a tendency to spoil the 404 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: opposite sex child of seeing it a million times in 405 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: a way that we don't. And that's part of how 406 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: we're wired for who we're going to grow up to. 407 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: You're naturally going to be attracted to the opposite side. Well, 408 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: when we're a little key, our ultimate Every little girl's 409 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: ultimate man is going to be her daddy, unless her 410 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: daddy doesn't measure up, in which case he's going to 411 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: be the anti daddy. Every little boy's perfect woman in 412 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: life is his mother once he grows up.

And 416 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: if you didn't have a mother who gave you that 417 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: kind of love, and you didn't have that experience, then 418 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: you don't go seeking that out rather consciously or subconsciously, 419 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: hold tight collars. Real quick story. My mom passed September nineteenth. 420 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: I didn't talk about it so because I didn't want 421 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: to have to talk about it, and I don't want 422 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: to talk about it now.

But what actually sealed it was I went 494 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 8: and brought her flowers at her office and watched her. 495 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 8: She was a branch manager, how she ran that office 496 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 8: like a little general and being an out of female 497 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 8: on it was incredible to me and opened my. 498 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 9: Eyes of what she was capable of. And then the 499 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 9: final arrow was when my dad and I went fishing 500 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 9: and she picked up a Roden reel for the first 501 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 9: time and just started smacking trout left and right. And 502 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 9: shortly after that where we got married and we're going 503 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 9: on almost twenty years now. 504 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: What is she Vietnamese? 505 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 5: Oh? 506 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 9: Yes, she is. 507 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: Oh see, they have a genetic predisposition to fishing. She 508 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: had an advantage that average girl wouldn't have. 509 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 9: I think so myself still beat me. 510 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: You know. One of my dreams Michael t in between 511 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: his in between semesters from in high school when he 512 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: was a senior, is he went on a three week 513 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: tour of five Asian nations and he got to take 514 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: the boat tour through the Vietnamese I've just obsessed over 515 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: Vietnam War and all the jungles and the rivers and 516 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: all this. And he got to go in the boat 517 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: boating villages where there are no roads. It's all it's 518 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: all about boat. And he knew how much that would 519 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: mean to me. So he that was you know, you 520 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: can't always get him to take photos of everything, but 521 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: he knew that was important and he filmed all of it. 522 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: And I have wanted to go so badly. I just 523 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: think that would be incredible. 524 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 9: Well, you got a crystal tour Gude, if. 525 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: You'd like one.

We were just being, 532 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,479 Speaker 7: you know, high school jerks, and we didn't find her 533 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 7: friend very attractive, so we were flicking paper at her 534 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 7: and get it stuck in her curly hair. At the 535 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 7: end of class, my wife walked over and basically just 536 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 7: kind of threw all the all the paper that we 537 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 7: had flicked at her friend and in my face, and 538 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 7: I thought, wow, that's some she got some moxie. So 539 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 7: the next day I sat at her table and got 540 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 7: to know her. And so after that class, she would 541 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 7: go to lunch and I would go to class. So 542 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 7: I skipped my class, went to her lunch, walked up 543 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 7: to her and her whole posse, and asked her out 544 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 7: on a date. And it was that first date when 545 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 7: when I just realized that I don't she's the one. 546 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 7: And it was in high school and we're still married 547 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 7: thirty five years later. 548 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: It's interesting how a moment like that can tell you 549 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: so much about someone. It's also interesting that all our 550 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: calls are men, men can tell you that was the 551 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: moment I knew she was the one. I don't know. 552 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we skew male. There's no doubt there's there's 553 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: a higher percentage of males and females, but not to 554 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: such an extent.
