1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: Michael Varry Show is on the air.

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: In fact, drunken stupid is no way to go through life.

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 4: Stuck.

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 5: I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 5: my feet and I'm gonna see the world.

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 4: All my.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: The frig gass water type that.

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 6: Is a yes, we believe it is bad.

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: I'm going steady and that French kiss so everybody does that. Yeah,

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: but Daddy says I'm the gust.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 7: Daddy a careful.

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 3: Man in the fabrics.

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: We gotta what a telescope, sir?

15
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: What the wide wide world of sports going on?

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: Heresy?

17
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 7: The adjective for metal is metallic, but not so for iron,

18
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 7: which is ironic. Guy sent me a dad joke that

19
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 7: used a reference to a mop, and I got to

20
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 7: thinking about mopping.

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: Ramon, how has it been since you've mopped a minute?

22
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: How long would you guess? Two years?

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 7: And was it a spill? M Amy cleans up the message.

24
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 7: She's she's the mop girl. There's a clear delineation of

25
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 7: tasks in your home. I bet you Chad mops.

26
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: I guarantee you Chad.

27
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 7: Chad is the ultimate husband because he takes a lot

28
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 7: of what might be the traditional wife duties. Also, he cooks.

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 7: He cooks for the family on the weekend, so they

30
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 7: have meals in their tupperware for the week and it's

31
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 7: all healthy Asian stuff. He does everything at the house.

32
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 7: He is never sick or you know, anything like that.

33
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 7: He's I mean he's married, so don't get your hopes up.

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 7: But he'd be somebody's he'd be most women's ideal husband.

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 7: I mean most men's too. You're right, You're right, yeah, Oh,

36
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 7: he's he does it all. I am in awe of that.

37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 7: But I've always been interested. I've always been fascinated with

38
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 7: the concept of mopping. It's one of those things that

39
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 7: gets mentioned in movies and and things. You get get

40
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 7: a mop bugget. It's kind of kind of a wholesome task.

41
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 7: I don't know, Maybe sweeping is not in the same

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 7: category mopping. Just something special about mopping. Maybe because I

43
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 7: don't have to do it, I have this love affair

44
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 7: with it, maybe I wouldn't find it to be so great.

45
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 7: It's also a workout. I mean, it's it's it's an

46
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 7: it's a legitimate workout. But you know, growing up, there

47
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 7: was not a lot of mopping. My mom was not

48
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 7: a big mopper. You could not have. We had a

49
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 7: linoleum floor, which you know, is kind of perfect for

50
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 7: mopping because you can't hurt linoleum until that moment that

51
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 7: you get a tear in the linoleum. My goodness alive.

52
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 7: When you tear the linoleum, it's it's downhill from there.

53
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 7: And I love to go into these older homes where

54
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 7: they had a linoleum over a linoleum. They decide because

55
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 7: that lonoleum is hard to get up, there's a lot

56
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 7: of scraping, so they just slapped a linoleum down over it,

57
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 7: and they would do like the terra cotta colored linoleum

58
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 7: over one, or they'd kind of try to make it

59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 7: look like it was tile. And then when that has

60
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 7: a tear in it, or the other one is when

61
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 7: the linoleum has been stepped on, like in in stores.

62
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 7: You'll go to old kind of country stores and there's

63
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 7: there's a hole worn in the linoleum and you're down

64
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 7: into the sub floor. You know, you're down at the

65
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 7: wood at that point. I find such things fascinating. Jeff

66
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,279

Speaker 6: To call my home.

Speaker 7: My point is, you know, if they think of him

86
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 7: as a young man, but in society he's on the

87
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,640

Speaker 6: Throw a little bleach in there with it.

117
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 7: I love the smell of fabulau sauce, not as much

118
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 7: as Mexican women do, but I love the smell. It

119
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 7: smells clean. But I grew up on pine salt. My

120
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 7: mother used pine saal, And if I smell that pine

121
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 7: sauce smell, that is the smell of clean to me.

122
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 6: Well, see, uh uh uh uh, I can't do that

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 6: because see, old folks homes smell like that. See now you've.

124
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 8: Got me saying, God dam mature folks homes.

125
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: Home for the age mature.

126
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 7: I don't know if you hear their conversations, I would

127
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 7: not call them mature.

128
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: You said mature, like my mother gies.

129
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 6: Listen, listen, the older people need to call in and

130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 6: give you another word.

131
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 2: For other than old.

132
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 6: See we ain't we no, no, no that.

133
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 7: I like old people that are very blunt, you know

134
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 7: that speak very directly, because an old folks home is

135
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 7: a home for old folks. And that's what my mother

136
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 7: always said when we were younger. She'd say, when we

137
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 7: get old, you're just gonna stick us in the old

138
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 7: folks home.

139
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: That was always her line.

140
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a place out offer of color way

141
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 6: back in the day when it was shockolate by you.

142
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 6: I think it was called Elijah Johnson Home for the Age.

143
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 6: And I always looked at that place thinking, man, I

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 6: am I don't want to get old. Look at that

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 6: place and you go into it and it always had

146
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 6: a smell and it's like, oh, oh.

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 7: Man, that is such a black thing from the seventies

148
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 7: is to give something an exalted name like that, you know,

149
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 7: the Elijah Johnson Home for the Age. Yeah, you know

150
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 7: what I mean, instead of seenior living facility.

151
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: I love that.

152
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 7: That's that's the black woman with the PhD who starts

153
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 7: using the big words, the euphemisms. I must admit, I

154
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 7: love that. Jeff is always a pleasure to hear your voice.

155
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 10: My man, you are listening to the Michael Berry Show,

156
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 10: taking a hatchet, your lowless, got a kin sensing.

157
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 7: Humor, she got a tattoo down, your arms up, got

158
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 7: in a little mind, weirdly fascinated by caller Jeff's mopping routine.

275
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: years ago and and I go out and service their

276
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,280

00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: product and uh, and it tells about they're violating limits

289
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: and they get you got to go out and do

290
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,840

291
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,920

Speaker 1: and I just go on site and do that.

295
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: And where did you learn to do that?

296
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: Man?

297
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: I was working at a nuclear power plant water for

298
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: three south of New Orleans, and I was a chemistry

299
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,479
Speaker 1: tech and they put a computer.

300
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: On my desk in the early nineties. I'm like, what's

301
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: this thing?

302
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: You know, it was the computer first coming out, and

303
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: we were doing these hand calculations for nuclear safety. And

304
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: I figured out how to put a calculation spreadsheet in

305
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the computers, all dolls based.

306
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: And when when I did that, we were doing.

307
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Our calculations in the computer, and they said, man, you

308
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: got a talent for this.

309
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: So they sent me to school to learn how to program.

310
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: And I've been doing it ever since. You know, that's

311
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago.

312
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:52,360

343
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: hands on my family when they passed. My dad, my mother,

344
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: my mother in law, my brother, and the corner had

345
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: to inspect my brother's body for signs and foul.

346
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,400

Speaker 1: the blanket off, Mike class. I was like, what in

350
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: the world. And the corner was when my brother was

351
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: there with me. My older brother in the corner said,

352
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: what's the matter, JT. I said, he's got a bigger

353

00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: It was funny, man, you know.

357
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: I was just trying to make light of the situation

358
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: because it was a pretty pretty sad event.

359
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: And I had to go in and tell my mom.

360
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: Because his apartment was on her property and she was

361
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: out on the porch. She said, Johnny, wesh Chucky. I said, Mom,

362
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: Chucky is gone. She said, where's he at? Said Mom,

363
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: He's gone. Don't you get it, He's gone. And she

364
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: had two art attacks right in front of me. Michael,

365
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: it was horrible.

366
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 7: Oh man, that is uh, that's that's a double whammie.

367
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: Your brother and then your mother just like that, and

368
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: that is uh.

369
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

370
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: She lasted about two months after that, and she but

371
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: she had me and the rest of my brothers were

372
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: at her side. My two sisters had already passed. But

373
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: so uh man, I hate to tell such a sad

374
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: story on your.

375
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 7: It's a real story. Well, let me ask you this,

376
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 7: because you had called about this. You said, you got

377
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 7: a mopping routine and you like to mop, you know,

378
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 7: leave that to a woman.

379
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: How often do you mop?

380
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: At least once a week at least to see my

381
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: brother's house and New Orleans that we share. That's his

382
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: house and I have the house and son. When when

383
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: I when I when he comes down and he doesn't

384
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: stay there very often. I stayed there more than he does.

385
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: But when he comes in there he knows and I

386
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: will whip about the mop, get on the back porch

387
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: and stay out.

388
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 3: Of my way.

389
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: And how long does it take?

390
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: This house is always go ah.

391
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: It takes me about maybe at least an hour, because

392
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: I hit it with pine soal and then I come

393
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: back with clean water. That was our routine routine in

394
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: the navy. You know, you mock it with some kind

395
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: of disintective and then you come back with clean water,

396
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: and then you know you got your floors clean.

397
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 7: It's interesting. It's interesting how tasks performing tasks. Mopping is

398
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 7: not my thing, because I wasn't the one in our

399
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 7: family growing up mopping, but mowing the lines that you

400
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 7: create when you mow, knocking down tasks. I like repetitive,

401
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 7: simple tasks that are mindless because you get you get

402
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 7: the joy when you finish something. Of seeing when we

403
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 7: leave every day, I hope we did some good in

404
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 7: one way or another, but I can't see. It doesn't

405
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 7: manifest itself the way if you're constructing something or cleaning

406
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 7: something or fixing something physically, you can see that with

407
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 7: your own eyes, you know what I'm saying.

408
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: Well, Michael, I'm on a shoe yep, Like we kept

409
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: our forest clean. It was like each division had their

410
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: own little space they had to keep clean, and we

411
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: took pride in our floors. And the guys that got

412
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: seasick would walk around with plastic bags tied to their

413
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: belt loops so that they didn't, you know, vomit on

414
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: the floors. And every now and then you get a

415
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: guy that came through there and you could hear it happening,

416
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: and we would have to chase them down and make

417
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: them come clean our floors force, because if they got away,

418
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: then we had to clean it.

419
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: Up right, you know. It was It was terrible. Man.

420
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: We were sitting in our birthing and we would hear

421
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: somebody heaving up and we would immediately run out there

422
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: because if you didn't, they would run away and you would.

423
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: Have to clean up the mess behind them.

424
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Ship life was a totally different life than you can

425
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: even imagine.

426
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: You spent eight years at sea.

427
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't in the maybe five years before

428
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I even saw a ship, because I did so well

429
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: in training up in upstate New York that kept me

430
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: on as an instructor and teach your new new new

431
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: engineers and uh and I even taught some officers too.

432
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: But uh, once I I left, uh the prototype what

433
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: we called it up in Upstate New York, and I

434
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: got sent out to a ship. I spent three years

435
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: on a ship and then I got out reserves. Oh, man,

436
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, looking back on it, I love

437
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: that life.

438
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: Man.

439
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Well, I was in the Mediterranean for the better party

440
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: in three years, and I went everywhere in the Middle

441
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: East of Europe and everything.

442
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: Man, I would recommend that to any young man. It

443
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: is it maybe be a man?

444
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 7: Did that's a big statement? Did you consider making a

445
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 7: career out of it when you left eight years?

446
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: Was there ever a moment I did not?

447
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: I wish I would have stayed in that went into

448
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: the neighbor reserves, you know, because I would I would

449
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: have a retirement coming from it. But no, I didn't

450
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: want to stay. And I missed New Orleans so bad.

451
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: I said, I got to get out and go back home,

452
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: you know. And I miss my dad and my mom

453
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: and my brothers, my sisters, so uh, so I got out.

454
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: What do you what did you miss most? About New Orleans.

455
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: Well, I'm the big hunter and fisherman, and I finished

456
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: in Virginia as much as I could when I was

457
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: stationed there. But the Bogachita Swamp is my place, man, Okay,

458
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: I missed hunt in there, you know, if you if

459
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: you're not familiar, look it up.

460
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: Man.

461
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 7: When I was growing up, we and maybe this is

462
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: just the fact that I live in Houston now, but

463
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 7: when I was growing up, we were more Southwest Louisiana

464
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 7: than we were Southeast Texas because all the people were

465
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 7: from there, and we were in and out of Louisiana.

466
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 7: But the whole sportsman's paradise was was the motto, and

467
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 7: that was really, really heavily promoted. But I never hear

468
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 7: anything about that anymore, no one, you don't. I don't

469
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 7: see or hear people talking about what a great place

470
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 7: particular lead to fish that Louisiana is. And I don't

471
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 7: know if they don't promote that anymore, or it's just

472
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 7: I'm not running in the same circles.

473
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 3: Now. I'm gonna tell you what it is, Michael.

474
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: Drugs have ruined the hunting and fishing for people, you know,

475
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: just like my brother me and my brother used to

00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: I go out there by myself. I'm sixty one years

479
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: old and I can barely take it anymore.

Speaker 2: then we'll go to Chuck.

508
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 7: John You're on the Michael Berry Show post see it?

509
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what is going on.

510
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 9: On the Curver? I went under curver last night into

511
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 9: the belly of the beasts over in Rosenbergh with the

512
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 9: bato walls, Count Hall.

513
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: I bet you set right in.

514
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 9: Oh it was excellent. I mean it was a lot

515
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 9: of fun.

516
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 7: A couple of takeaways, hold on, hold on to get

517
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 7: yourself ready, you know, like my brother used to put

518
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 7: weird synths on his skin for smells and things like that.

519
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 7: Did you did you have anything you did to get

520
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 7: ready to go under cover to kind of really make

521
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 7: it fit in?

522
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: Not?

523
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Really.

524
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 13: I just kept a low profile and actually I was

525
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 13: working as a bodyguard or young man who held.

526
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 9: A a sign. The sign read uh tampon Tim you're

527
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 9: not texting enough. And he was there by himself, so

528
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 9: I sort of just made sure that no one uh

529
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 9: harassed him. So I sort of his was his bodyguard,

530
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 9: so they didn't. I wasn't real vocal or anything on

531
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 9: that account. But some of the takeaways I had was

532
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 9: they believed the media is against them. They think all

533
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 9: Republicans due to LYU lost a walk of march and

534
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 9: lost step with Donald Trump. Uh, they're not They're not wrong.

535
00:27:53,240 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 9: They have all the answers, and particularly I found him

536
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 9: to be not very smart. Beto cussed a lot and

537
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 9: his speech very fiery.

538
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 7: That's the thing they're doing now. Van Jones was talking

539
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 7: about this on seeing any other day. I think they

540
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 7: have focused grouped this and what I suspect, what it

541
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 7: looks like has manifested is a plan to win win

542
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 7: back young people, and that young people like to cuss,

543
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 7: and so what you're trying to do is get relatability

544
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 7: with young people, and the way to do that is

545
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 7: through the language. And so the cussing makes you cool.

546
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 7: You break the rules, you speak from the street. You're

547
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 7: not the establishment, you're not the sellout. You're gonna cuss

548
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 7: and Beto has always done that. There's always been a

549
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 7: very contrived his image has always been very carefully cultivated.

550
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 7: If you remember the skateboarding, we would have to see

551
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 7: lots of late night skateboarding and lots of having fun,

552
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 7: frolicking with young members of the media and having drinks

553
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 7: and look at us, we're so cool, we're having fun.

554
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 7: Betos like us. There were lots of water Burger trips

555
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 7: and constant, incessant talking about.

556
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: It because Beto's like us.

557
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 7: He's going on a road trip across Texas to Waterburger

558
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 7: and he's cool and he's hip.

559
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: There's a lot of that that goes with his image.

560
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: But proceed keep going.

561
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 9: Yes, well he's you know, here's a degree from Kleby University.

562
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: He was also raised He was also.

563
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 7: Raised in a pretty well to do family where his

564
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 7: father was the county judge and probably grifting on the.

565
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: Side is what I've heard.

566
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 7: And he married a woman whose father, if not a billionaire,

567
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 7: he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So the whole

568
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 7: thing is he's an actor in a play and there's

569
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 7: no doubt about it.

570
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 2: And you know the.

571
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 7: Worst part is you'd think they could get the poor

572
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 7: fellow in the in the props department. They could get

573
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 7: him an upper lift. But whatever, any way, go ahead, Okay.

574
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 9: Well another takeaway was, of course they blame you racism

575
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 9: here in Texas even though we have what do we

576
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 9: have two weeks virtually twenty four to seven voting? You know,

577
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 9: we're people are not gonnowed to vote, you know, so

578
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 9: that's that's what we're gonna change that. We're gonna make it,

579
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 9: make a voting. I think I think Wall.

580
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 14: Said in Minnesota you can register to vote when you

581
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 14: apply for your driver's license. They have sixteen and seventeen

582
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 14: year olds working as election judges.

583
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 9: A particularly interesting take of a and this was an

584
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 9: older crowd, Minu. These were not really young people.

585
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: Was they brought up.

586
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 9: LBJ and Barbara Jordan? You know how great they were.

587
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 9: And I thought to myself, LBJ, he did not run

588
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 9: for re election because of because of the Vietnam War.

589
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 9: And eighty percent of people that were in that crowd

590
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 9: last night were of that age. They probably marched against LBJ.

591
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 14: But yeah, we know LBJ, we know LBJ.

592
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 9: And then when they mentioned Barbara Jordan, it too, you know,

593
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 9: it's like wait a minute.

594
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: Didn't you read that?

595
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 9: We've you know, we have talked about this many times

596
00:31:51,880 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 9: on your program, how Barbara Jordan was against open borders.

597
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 9: But oh, we love Barbara Jordan.

598
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 7: We love Barbara bah But you got to realize, John,

599
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 7: they don't know who Barbara Jordan is. They don't know

600
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 7: what she stood for. She's to them, she's an icon.

601
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 7: She's Tony Bennett or Betty White. They don't know anything

602
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 7: about it. Speaking of which, Beto and Tim Waltz as

603
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 7: John infiltrated last night in sugar Land.

604
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:29,480

605
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 12: night townhall event featuring Timmy Walks.

606
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 7: I think we all agree on this issue.

607
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: Coach THEO will never be the bad come Sugar and

608
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: Beto o Roy.

609
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 7: I want to thank everyone who actually thought I was pspetic.

610
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 12: Discussing what matters most to want to be leaders of

611
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 12: the floundering Democratic Party.

612
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 2: Seriously, this is really happening. Necess's almost included. Got this

613
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: on a well that's just a little sweeter than a

614
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: sugar silo. Oh Rour eats his tacos with a fornaces.

615
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: It's almost together. On Sharing Wednesday, Hey, Texas.

616

Speaker 12: Time, putting some extra sugar in my tank.

617
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: In the head, if you're working
