Speaker 3: That is in Mayolex.

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: Those people who have never been in my kitchen?

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: To the phone line, we go, Uh, let's go to

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: all those lines, and I went to the one that

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: didn't have anyone on it.

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: David, you're up, Hey, Mike, I wonder no, what what's

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: the skinny on the bell A Bridge on the east

74
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: side of town?

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 9: What do you know about it? When is when is

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 9: it going to be finished?

77
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: So I saw a YouTube video on this, and I

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: was fascinated by the feet of engineering that it is,

79
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: and I put the word out that I would like

80
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: to know more, and I got a few people that

81
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: maybe thought they might know someone. My understanding is the

82
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: company out of Alabama that was originally engaged to do

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: the bridge had to build a bridge, design and build

84
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: a bridge, had a problem with a collapse of another bridge,

85
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: and they weren't meeting engineering standards. So I don't know

86
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: where it is. I have asked. I'm kind of fascinated

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 2: by it because I did not realize what a load

88
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: that bridge carries. That turns out to be do you

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: drive it?

90
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 4: Yes?

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 9: I do you regularly? You do ship channel go check

92
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 9: on the Yes, I do drive over at about you know,

93
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 9: four or five times a month.

94
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: That is a very important curious bridge for the east

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: side of of the Greater Houston area. So obviously I'm interested,

96
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: But that I didn't. I did not get more of

97
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: an answer than that. Yet I'm still trying. In fact,

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: I had a conversation about that. A friend of a

99
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 2: friend is an engineer, but with Harris County and apparent,

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: I mean with the state, and apparently this is a

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: Harris County project. Trace, you're on the Michael Berry Show.

102
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: Go ahead, and.

103
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 10: Michael, I was just curious your thoughts what happened to

104
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 10: Candace Owens? I mean.

105
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: Her views and she's I honestly.

106
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: Don't move it.

107
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 8: Everybody keeps talking about that.

108
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: I can't hear you. Trace, You got to talk right

109
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 2: into the phone.

110
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 10: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just wondering Candace Owens, what

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 10: happened to her? She's like the bell of the ball

112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 10: for a long time, and now everybody talks that she's

113
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 10: kind of lost her her way or her mind. I mean,

114
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 10: your thoughts.

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: Do you follow her, No.

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 10: But i'd see her on a Tuck calls in and

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 10: you know, back in the day. But then I've heard

118
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 10: you say something that she's kind of lost your way

119
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 10: and she's got some really wacky views on Israel and stuff.

120
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 10: So I'm just figured open nind Friday and thinking about

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 10: it and wonder what your thoughts were.

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: I don't recall saying that because I try to make

123
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: it my business not to speak ill of other people

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: who do some version of what I do, because I

125
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: think most people do that out of pure jealousy, and

126
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: I don't have any with regard to Candace. I don't.

127
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: First of all, I don't know Candace personally. We have

128
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: mutual friends, but I don't know her personally. She had

129
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: a meteoric rise coming up through the Daily Wire. And

130
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: there is in American not Christendom, Christendom, but Conservativedom. Right

131
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: now there is a very aggressive split between those who

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: are concerned about America's relationship with Israel and are concerned

133
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: with Israeli influence in the United States and those who

134
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: call them Nazis. So you got this, You've got this split,

135
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: and you've got Tucker Carlson and and Candice on this

136
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: side and a few others, and then on the other

137
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: side you have I'd say Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Douglas

138
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: Brinkley tens to be a more intellectual version of that,

139
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: but it's still the same. There is this idea that

140
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: everyone is supposed to toe the line that Israel is

141
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: the most important place in the world, and that if

142
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: you point out any problems with our relationship with Israel

143
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: the way you would with any other country consistently, then

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: your branded a bad person and there is this attempt

145
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: to destroy you. I think that crack happened with Candice,

146
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: and once it happened, much like with Tucker, but she

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: went scorched earth. I think when it happened, she resented

148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: it so much that she kind of doubled down and

149
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: fought back, and that's when they worked to marginalize her.

150
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: She still does incredible numbers. She has a tribe, as

151
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: as many people in this business do, and I think

152
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: she'll turn out find them by the way. I think

153
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: it's good to have different views. I think that's healthy.

154
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 11: You are to ring the King's English.

155
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: Diggings, Jonathan, You're on the Michael Berry Show. What did

156
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: you what crazy thing looking back? Did you do that

157
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: you practically can't believe you did for some woman?

158
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 9: Basically, I tried to date my ex's best friend.

159
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how to react to this. Did you

160
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: do this to make her jealous? Or did you do

161
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: it because you kind of liked her best friend?

162
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 9: Well, initially it was to make her jealous, but then

163
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 9: a few weeks after getting involved with her, I started

164
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 9: to catch feelings for her, and now I was like,

165
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 9: oh man, what have I just done it? Oh my goodness?

166
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: So how did that end up?

167
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 12: Not?

168
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 9: Really good? We started having problems and then she started

169
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 9: telling my ex all the problems we were having, and

170
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 9: then it was just one horrible storm.

171
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: Oh oh okay, So take me back. So you and

172
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: the original, the original ex, y'all were together for how long?

173
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 9: Like six months?

174
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: And you were how old?

175
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 9: I was twenty four years old?

176
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: All right? And then who broke it off?

177
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: She did?

178
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: How did you from that moment decide, ah, her best friend,

179
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: that I'll make her jealous with her?

180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 9: Well, we had always been hanging out together, like her

181
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 9: and her friends or our friends. We were always meet

182
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 9: up and hang out or whatever. And then I always

183
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 9: kind of caught her like looking at me and making

184
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 9: little gestures and stuff and whatnot. And when she when

185
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 9: the original decided that she didn't want to be with

186
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 9: me anymore, and I really tried to make it work

187
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 9: with her. I said, okay, let me let me show

188
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 9: let me I'll show you type of thing.

189
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: And so you reach out and she.

190
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: Jumps there you go.

191
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: Do you think she tells her best friend the minute

192
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: you reach out, or you think she's keeping this quiet

193
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: for a while.

194
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 9: I think she kept it quiet at first, But then again,

195
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 9: I really don't know because I don't even really speak

196
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 9: to either one.

197
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: Of them anymore.

198
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: So how did you find out that she had told

199
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: the original that y'all were messing around?

200
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 9: The original had reached out to me and said, hey,

201
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 9: why are you messing around with Rachel? And I was like,

202
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 9: I mean, I just froze for a second, and I

203
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 9: told her, I said, well, I don't see that's how

204
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 9: that's any of your business, and she goes, well, that's

205
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 9: my best friend. How dare you? And then it was

206
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 9: just a huge, huge age problem.

207
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: What was the tone you took in response to how

208
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: dare you? Did you blow up or were you polite?

209
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: Or were you.

210
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 9: When she said, how dare you? How did I respond?

211
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

212
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 9: I mean I never thought I didn't think she honestly,

213
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 9: at twenty four, I didn't think she was going to

214
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 9: find out.

215
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: You hadn't prepared for this moment. Huh you had not

216
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: prepared for this moment.

217
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 9: No, not at all. That's why I said. It was

218
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 9: a really it was a crazy and it was a

219
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 9: dumb and probably immature act.

220
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: And so what went on? Did you? Did you end

221
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: up getting married.

222
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 9: Eventually? Yeah, but it was to somebody else.

223
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: Your voice dropped?

224
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 9: And how did that work out?

225
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,640

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 11: People say do you keep your cats in for Halloween?

322
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 11: And I said, why should I? And they said yes,

323
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 11: because the children will stick of firecrack up the air.

324
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,920

333
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 11: We was taught at my Holy second design something one another.

Speaker 2: Well? At least she's still breathing. We were telling the

347
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: story earlier of the DPS trooper who shot himself in

348
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: the leg to gain the attention and pity of his

349
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend who dumped him. She's a nurse, and folks

350
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: calling in and telling the stupid things they did to

351
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: gain the attention of the opposite secks. Was it David Chapman?

352
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: Was a fellow's name that shot Reagan Martin? David Chapman?

353
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: Was it?

354
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: Oh? No, not sir, hensir hand No. It's kind of

355
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: sick that we remember their names. I guess I've intentionally

356
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: forgotten it. It doesn't matter. John Hinckley Junior, he uh isn't he?

357
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: The one that was trying to get Jodie Foster's attention. Listen, fella,

358
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to do more than shoot John Ronald Reagan.

359
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think you're ever going to

360
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: get her attention, if you know what I'm mean. I mean,

361
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: I I think the things you'd have to do to

362
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: get her attention. Yeah, yeah, well we'll leave that one

363
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: there anyway, So we would love to hear your story

364
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: of the stupid thing you did to get some guy's attention.

365
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: I watch women do this when they get divorced, and

366
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: I have seen women go to the greatest links. I mean,

367
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: I wonder if you told catic surgeons you cannot do

368
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: work on any woman that is trying to make her

369
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: ex jealous. You'd cut boob jobs in half, and you

370
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: know the other thing you cut in half. I've seen

371
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: this one. I've seen women who have decided they're checking

372
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: out of the marriage and they've let themselves go. They'll

373
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: get the boob job while they're married on his nime,

374
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: and then once it's all they're all ready to go

375
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: and ready for the market, boop, they're out. Wait what

376
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: what that's like? What we do in our house. My

377
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 2: wife always gets nervous when I start doing improvements to

378
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: the house. I get the landscaping taken care of, and

379
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: I get everything painted out it. See, I guess we're

380
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: moving again because just about the time I get a

381
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: house looking perfect, and in my mind, I really believe

382
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: I'm doing it for myself and my wife. But about

383
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: the time I get a house looking that's right, I go, who,

384
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: we will probably make make a pretty pity on this thing.

385
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: I should put it on the market. Glenn writes, I

386
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 2: text the joke of the day to my sixteen year

387
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: old granddaughter who lives in Round Rock, Great Way for

388
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: this grandpa to keep in daily contact with his granddaughter.

389
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: She loves the jokes and she shares them with the

390
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: other cheerleaders, who often ask her what the new joke

391
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: is for the day. So I just wanted to say thanks.

392
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: Paul writes the reason for the cops and nurses combination.

393
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: Nurses see the worst in people, as do cops, so

394
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: they develop that dark sense of humor in order to

395
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: deal with the darkness. They understand each other. You know,

396
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: dark humor, gallows humor, and the way cops practice it.

397
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: Criminal defense attorneys I'm sure morticians have it. For the

398
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: average person, you just can't understand it, but you have

399
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: to have it. You have to have it in order

400
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: to cope. Three to nine, one thousand, Kevin, you're up.

401
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.

402
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: I was in the Houston Fire Department for thirty four

403
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: years and we made a call one day this girl

404
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: had kicked her boyfriend out of the apartment. So then

405
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: later on that evening we made a call. He had

406
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 3: got back in her apartment, and he got in her

407
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: closet and he took an extension card and he filled

408
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: it apart a little bit and exposed the wire on

409
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: each hand. He put it on the side of his

410
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: head and took some tape and wrapped it around his head,

411
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 3: and he plugged itself in.

412
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: And what happened.

413
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 3: When we got there, he was still plugged in, but

414
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: he was he was dead, but he I guess he

415
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: got her attention.

416
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I think she was shocked.

417
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: I'll laugh about it to this state. Anyway. Just when

418
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: you think you see all the stupid, just hang on.

419
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 3: You'll make something else that's stupider than that.

420
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: Okay, let me make sure I'm visualizing this properly. So

421
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: he shaves off the rubber around the line on both ends.

422
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: He made his own little homemade sparky.

423
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: Okay, and then he taped it around.

424
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 3: His head on one side. One side, he put the

425
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: wire and right there around his temple on the right

426
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: side and on the left side, and got some tait

427
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: and wrapped it around his head so it holded on there,

428
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: and then he plugged himself in.

429
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: So when you got there, he's still plugged in.

430
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: He's laying their graveyard dead, plugged in. He's still hot.

431
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: So help me understand. I'm not an expert in this

432
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. How do you break that circuit?

433
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: Just unplugging? We unplugging?

434
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: Did you unplug him or did you mean somebody else

435
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: do it?

436
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't remember. There was he was on a fire truck.

437
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 3: We got there before the amble, and uh, anyway, I'm

438
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: sure he got her a kitchen good.

439
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, the ethereal, the butterflies with the Mickelberry,

440
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 8: they're all duncans, And you know duncan means yo yo.

441
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: We talked about on the broadcast, how you hate candy corn?

442
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: What's your favorite Halloween corn?

443
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I completely hate candy corn. When I was

444
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: a kid, well, gummy bears. Let's see gummy bears for sure,

445
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: now we're regular. The hair bones got to me, the

446
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: airbow ones. And then the other thing I like is,

447
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: uh is when they used to have the Spreez in

448
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: a box with outstanding you have to go to the

449
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: dollar store to find it, but I do. And then

450
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: the latest, the latest, you know, there's still candy innovation.

451
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: Although while back I found that Europe had better candy

452
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: than we did overall because they have gummy everything.

453
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: And then but the uh, you know, they.

454
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: Have those nerds clusters, which is new. Yeah, which is good.

455
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: The nerds clusters is good. And then if you got chocolate,

456
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: probably all enjoy I love it.

457
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully you'll get some of that next week. Yeah, we'll see.

458
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 5: Thanks going all right, you in invisible man in your bed.

459
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: I want to hear Mike Leech's opinion on everything, I

460
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: mean everything, don't you, Tom, you old Michael Berry show,

461
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: Go ahead, sir.

462
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 4: Yes, Mike, you just mentioned it about you know, marticians

463
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: and all. I did that for quite a few years.

464
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 4: And and uh, the National Funeral Director Association did always

465
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: have their convention there in Vegas round about Halloween time,

466
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 4: and we took the opportunity to really cut loose and

467
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: dress up in costumes and everything. So that was all

468
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: until damn over sixty minutes showed up one of them

469
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: hidden cameras and they did a whole story on us

470
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: about how we were irreverent and everything like this, and uh,

471
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 4: you know, you go around with stiff neck all year long,

472
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: you need to cut loose every once in a while.

473
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 4: And uh, but they caught us out there, that's what

474
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: they did. And uh, you want to talk about the

475
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: cops in that line, I did a lot of picking

476
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 4: up the people who was either drunk or whatever, crashed,

477
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: had bad accidents, a leg over here, a arm over there,

478
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 4: you know, and uh, them big old Burley cops, they was,

479
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: you know. They was like one time I had a guy.

480
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: There was a finger that came loose off this fella

481
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 4: and he's over there, fifty yards away from me with

482
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: us last night. He says, General Man, I got a

483
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: finger over here. I said, Bobby, you got a pair

484
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 4: of gloves, Why don't you just bring it? How ain't

485
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: touching the old finger? I'll tell you what. You know.

486
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 4: He just went crazy on me, And so I had

487
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 4: to go over there and get that thing.

488
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: But how did you overtime? You know, how did you

489
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: overcome the original fear?

490
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, how did what?

491
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: How did you overcome the original awkwardness of touching a

492
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: human body?

493
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 4: Well, when I was going to school for it, it was,

494
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: it was I was worried about that, and at some

495
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 4: point the switch kind of flipped on me where I was.

496
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 4: I was really interested in getting getting into it because

497
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 4: I was getting the education about it. You know, it's

498
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 4: like a a process at this point, and uh, the

499
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 4: the most poignant memory, I guess I can say is

500
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 4: some of the odors you'd run into. But uh uh

501
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: and then uh, you know, the saddest part was dealing

502
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 4: with some of the families. But uh it it uh

503
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: it became a uh uh a process, and I guess

504
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: the easiest way for me to relate it was, you know,

505
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: if you were a heart surgeon, I'd be I'd be

506
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 4: terrified I'm gonna screw something up. But at some point,

507
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 4: those doctors they get to the point to where they're like,

508
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 4: you know, a Swiss man working on a fine watch

509
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: or something. He knows exactly where everything is supposed to

510
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 4: be and how it's supposed to look, and and uh

511
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: it's his uh job is calling whatever to put it

512
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: back together and and and uh, you know, fix them up.

513
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: So did you have some little trick you played to

514
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: trick your mind? Because you know, growing up there's the

515
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: you know, a human body is sacred and it's you know,

516
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: it's full of life. And then here you are in

517
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: a room just you, and then and then there were

518
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 2: all the you know, the boogeyman versions of you know,

519
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: the dead body was evil and all that. Did you

520
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: did you struggle to get past all that? Or you

521
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: didn't have any problems?

522
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: H I really I really didn't. But I worked for

523
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: a little bit of funeral home that was owned by

524
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 4: a family and the old man's son who was running

525
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: it before I came into it, well, he died and

526
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: his wife took it over for a little while. Well,

527
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 4: when she was ninety two years old. I ended up

528
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: burying her. Well, after I buried her, her name was Helen.

529
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: After I buried her, I would be in the preparation

530
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: room by myself, middle of the night, right and a

531
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 4: door would open or I'd go you know, down the hall,

532
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: and the light in the bathroom was on and I

533
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 4: wasn't going two hours ago, and I was the only

534
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: one in the building, and I would just call up

535
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: to I say, Helen, how you doing. You know, and

536
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 4: I do believe in ghosts, but I do not believe

537
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: that all ghosts are evil ghosts.

538
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: You follow me, I'm listening.

539
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: Uh huh and uh it's uh. It's seeing some of

540
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: them people that that having a hard time with it.

541
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this much. The people I dealt with,

542
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: they had the hardest time with losing a loved one

543
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 4: were the ones that didn't know the Lord. And I

544
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: reasoned that out that you know, there's a there's a

545
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 4: lot of faith involved in religion, and if you don't

546
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 4: know about it, when Grandma or your sister, or your

547
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 4: girlfriend or your wife, God bless you, your child uh leaves.

548
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 4: There's just so many things that you don't understand, and

549
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: some points in time you just have to shut up

550
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: and and and have faith that things are going to

551
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 4: be okay.

552
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: Tom, You're the call of the day, brother, Thank you him.

553
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Hey, Michael.

554
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 12: I told h told Ramon that I grew up in

555
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 12: a family family business of the funeral home down on

556
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 12: Corpus and so that was an interesting childhood, to say

557
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 12: the least. Nothing like going getting picked up at elementary

558
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 12: school in a hearse, you know. But my dad used

559
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 12: to do that for a bunch of a bunch of

560
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 12: friends that might have been down.

561
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: There on Halloween. But I'm guessing that'd be odd after

562
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: a while.

563
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 12: Well yeah, I mean he would finish the funeral and

564
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 12: my mom would be like, hey, you need to pick

565
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 12: up pick up him at school, and all right, Well

566
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 12: he would fire through in the hearse and he would

567
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 12: get a few looks. He would do that in the

568
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 12: limousines and different stuff, but he would do it for friends.

569
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 12: He would go pick up friends at the airport in

570
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 12: the hearse. He would put on his tuxedo and a

571
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 12: top hat and and you know, somebody's fiftieth birthday. He

572
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 12: would go and do that for fun, for different people. So, uh,

573
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 12: working in the funeral business, you have to have a

574
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 12: tender heart, but you also have to have a good

575
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 12: sense of humor. And that was that was my dad.

576
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 12: But this he was third generation. My great grandfather actually

577
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 12: started the funeral home back in the in the teen

578
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 12: in the nineteen teens, and it was under his name.

579
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 12: But I remember when I was a little boy in

580
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 12: the early eighties. Somehow my dad got preferential treatment from

581
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 12: the bandidos, the big biker ganger if you're familiar with them.

582
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 12: And uh, one of the big bandido bosses passed away,

583
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 12: and they decided that they wanted to use my dad's

584
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 12: funeral home and and so he took care of the

585
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 12: service and and uh, little did we know that there

586
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 12: was going to be over a thousand bandidos and motorcycles

587
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 12: at at our at our place.

588
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: Fault
