00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: and that's about all the check you've got, and you

32
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,240

00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: good point moment. You better check yourself because I know

35
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: you're out there and I know you're just trying, just dying.

36
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: I ain't ain't I being right? A Democrat Senator Chris

37
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: van Holland actually didn't fly to El Salvador and try

38
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: to rescue an MS thirteen gang member.

39
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: Kil Abrigo Garcia is an illegal alien MS thirteen gang

40
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 5: member and foreign terrorists who was deported back to his

41
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: home country.

42
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: The Democrats are in love with all the wrong people,

43
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and I'm here to tell you I hope that continues

44
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: because they'll never win another national election at this pace.

45
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: They are out of touch with the American people. Risked

46
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: burglary to the Southwest Side restaurant owner says that someone

47
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: stole raw meats right off the pit as it was

48
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: smoking overnight. Paul jacober Third is the owner and pitmaster

49
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: of Jacob's Barbie.

50
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: I'm not worried about it now because that pit is

51
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 5: stilled and it will pay.

52
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: You have to bring up well. You would have to

53
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: come in like welded a loose to get in that hit.

54
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: I love that dude so much. You would have to

55
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: weld it a loose. Weld it a loose. See, that's

56
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: that's my kind of people. Well, what's for dinner?

57
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 6: We're having hamburger hell for hammer or helper.

58
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Yay years ago, he said, I'm gonna make you something

59
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: from your childhood. What do you want? I said, hamburger helped.

60
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: He said, okay, I'll have to call your mom and

61
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: ask her how to make it. I said, I can

62
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: actually tell you this. What round round sheep pasta shells

63
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: and they got a little sauce in there, the same

64
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: way Kraft mac and Cheese does. And if you make

65
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: my grandmother's corn bread, you will make me very Happjust

66
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: noodles and beats.

67
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 6: Have you ever thought about eating RACONI the second floor

68
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 6: side to sneak?

69
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 7: Just very weird. School.

70
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: You're just talking about where you went to school. Be careful,

71
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna blow an old rings.

72
00:07:52,400 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: With me, with me, with me, with me, with.

73
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: Me, with me.

74
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 4: I am much jobcast Monday, since I had a break.

75
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Sometime to tell my director of the abortion agency was fired.

76
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: Washington Post headline head of Planned Parenthood forced out after

77
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: eight months ironic, isn't it? How ironic? Before we get

78
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: to the calls. I read every email, but I can't

79
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: respond to every email, obviously, But I responded to more

80
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: emails yesterday than I have in probably a year. And

81
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: the reason was the conversation was over cursive, and the

82
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: question was things we wish schools would teach so children

83
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: would learn because we wish we had learned it, or

84
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: children today need to learn it. And I started getting

85
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: emails on the issue of cursive. And this is hard

86
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: for some people to understand, but sometimes I take an

87
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: opposite position or challenge a position A to make you

88
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: think about what you believe by reinforcing it. Because if

89
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: you can't answer a question as to why you believe something,

90
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: then maybe you don't really believe it. But B to

91
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: help me understand it. So I went back and forth

92
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: with a number of people during the show, and I

93
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: talked about it on the air, and I agree, seems

94
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: like a good idea that kids learn cursive, But can

95
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: you tell me why what happens if they don't learn cursive?

96
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: So a number of people said, historic documents, and nobody's

97
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: reading these documents. In historic documents, you can say you are,

98
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: but you're not. And that's just a bad argument because

99
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: it's not truthful. Secondly was Secondly was, so you can

100
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: sign your signature, And I said, you can have a

101
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: signature without cursive and they said, no, you can't, and

102
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: I said, well, when my wife became secretary of state,

103
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: the signature of the Secretary of State hangs on the

104
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: wall of corporations. A lot of them, especially small businesses,

105
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: will put that on the wall there incorporation documents. People

106
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: to this day say I walked past your wife's signature

107
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: every day. And so I said to her, I don't

108
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: want you to use your signature because then your signature

109
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: is floating out there to so many people. Someone could

110
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: could forge it, and that's altogether possible. And she said,

111
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: you're right. So she made a large printed version, but

112
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: it is a unique version the way she sort of

113
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: seraffs and things like that, which, by the way, Rick

114
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: Perry had done years before. He has a private and

115
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: public signature. So that's not the case. You can have

116
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: your own unique signature. Third the days of the signature

117
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: are reducing dramatically day by day by day by day,

118
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: particularly because if you think most things that you sign

119
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: nobody verifies it. Nobody looks at what you've done next

120
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: to the original they have on file. So when you

121
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: sign for most things, you can put whatever you want.

122
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: Obviously you've done this at the convenience store where you're

123
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: in a hurry and the guy says, oh, you have

124
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: to sign it and the credit card machine and you

125
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: know you just make a circle or whatever else, because

126
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: you'd be crazy to give them your signature. Why are

127
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: you giving them your signature? Well, when you say that's

128
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: not my signature, when you protest that document, I didn't

129
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: charge this three twenty four for a diet coke. That's

130
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: not me, and they go, yeah it is. Here's your signature.

131
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: If you sign something other than your usual signature, you

132
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: say it's not my signature, it's someone else, and they

133
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: say it is your signature. Okay, prove it. They don't

134
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: have your signature on file. So let's say it was

135
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: a huge account, about one hundred thousand dollars worth of

136
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: airline tickets, and they come and get your They say,

137
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: all right, we need to compare it again. So now

138
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: you have a discovery process, whereupon you produce documents as

139
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: to your usual signature on official documents. Where would you

140
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: go to get that because you wouldn't just go, well,

141
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: here's my signature. You could do a whole different signature.

142
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: So now there has to be a place where an

143
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: official repository of your signature, which doesn't exist. We could

144
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: take examples of where you've signed things and assume that

145
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: those are consistent, But what if you change them. I

146
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: made a decision when I was about ten to change

147
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: my signature. I made another decision when I was in college.

148
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I made another decision after law school because at each level,

149
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: my pretentious little self thought, oh, well this will be

150
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: more cool, and you've done the same. So what is

151
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: your official signature? If you sign something for me today

152
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: and tomorrow, I say you have to pay it because

153
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: you signed it, and you go, that's not my signature.

154
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: How do I prove that it is? The whole act

155
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: of forcing you to sign something is like signing one

156
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: of those boilerplate you know things that you don't read

157
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: that says, you know, if you die on this plane,

158
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: then you die, and we don't care. We're not going

159
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: to give you a pinion, and we can kick you

160
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: in the throad. And just the act of having signed

161
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: it by the way a non compete half the time

162
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: is about as enforceable as that. Okay, So I don't

163
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: buy that you have to write cursive to be able

164
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: to have a signature. So you keep going down the list.

165
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: And I had some of the most engaging conversations with

166
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: some of the most charming people, at least in the

167
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: written form. A lot of teachers, a lot of old

168
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: a lot of moms, a lot of moms told me,

169
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: and speech therapists and people who work with children with

170
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: dyslexia and dysgraphia, and which is more than you'd think.

171
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: A lot of people get diagnosed, and they said that

172
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: it helps them, Okay. And then there were people who

173
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: talked about enjoying writing incursive, and there were people who

174
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: talked about family documents, the family Bible, old letters. And

175
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: while I may have made a number of people angry,

176
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: I think we've made a lot of progress with a

177
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: number of people in that we don't have to have

178
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: a functional reason to preserve cursive. It doesn't have to

179
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: be that we have to keep cursive or otherwise, you know,

180
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: change the constitution on us. It can and should rightfully

181
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: be that we should cherish our heritage, we should preserve

182
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: our past. That these things are important in and of themselves.

183
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: And that's why the Civil War reenactor is not to

184
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: be ridiculed, but to be admired. Languages go dead by

185
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: a lack of use. Well, how come we don't you

186
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: know when I do things like our grandparents did? Why

187
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: don't we But because we don't? Because when you don't

188
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: do what you did do for long enough, it's what

189
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: you won't do in the future.

190
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 7: Right.

191
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: There is a value in and of itself to preserving something,

192
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: even if you can't know why you do it. That's

193
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: why that Vellina Polka lady keeps the polka traditions alive.

194
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: That's why you still keep an old dance hall. That's

195
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: why you hold on to a language. That's why you

196
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: you learn Latin. Well, what you're going to use that for?

197
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Not a damn thing other than keeping it alive. And

198
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: that's a beautiful, wonderful, noble reason.

199
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: You are listening to Michael Berry's show.

200
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: It is open Friday, Open line Friday, and I want

201
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: you to call in on whatever is on your mind,

202
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: whatever thought you had this week that we didn't get to.

203
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: Your week has flown or blown, so that we can

204
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: enjoy or feel good about our own lives. I don't

205
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: want to spend the show on cursive because I spent

206
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: the entirety of yesterday on the matter. I just wanted

207
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: to follow up on that issue because it was top

208
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: of mind. So I don't want to use that to

209
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: chum the waters for a bunch of cursive calls. I think,

210
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: I think we have belabored that point and we can

211
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: put that one to bed seven one three nine, nine, nine,

212
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: one thousand. You can always email me through our website,

213
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: Michael Berryshow dot com before we get to your It

214
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: is interesting and it should have a talismanic effect to

215
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: any corporation to see what companies have shot themselves in

216
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: the foot overgoing woke, which wasn't necessary. You don't need

217
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: to go woke. ESPN's go woke, go broke business model

218
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: is digging that network deeper and deeper into mediocrity and

219
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: closer and closer to failure for what was once the

220
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: premier sports network and a financial juggernaut. They can't get

221
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: out of their own way. Viewership is way down. They've

222
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: hired and then had to fire a number of woke

223
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: folks like Jamel Hill who show up as a black

224
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: woman with an attitude, playing some sort of minstrel show

225
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: of nonsense, trying to claim everyone is racist and talk

226
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: only about that instead of the sports when your primary

227
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: audience is white males who want to get away from

228
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: all that, And it's just over and over and here

229
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: we go. We got another one. Former ESPN broadcaster Ashley

230
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: Brewer Kaminsky revealed on x that her boss at the

231
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: sports network reprimanded her for posting a picture with a

232
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: Republican congressman and a UFC fighter. She's at ESPN. Oh

233
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: the humanity, not a picture with another human with different

234
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: political views, different political views than I have. Take it down.

235
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: Take it down now, it's so upsetting. Brewer Kaminski's quote,

236
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: Never forget when I got chewed out by my boss

237
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: for posting a pick of a Republican congressman and UFC

238
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: fighter on my Instagram story at the McGregor fight. Then

239
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: former colleague and Hattie Sage Steele also chimed in. You

240
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: remember her, She was the black anchor who was pushed

241
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: out because she dared to have conservative values and expressed them.

242
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: They still posted, and remember when we got chewed out

243
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: for breaking COVID rules by standing too close to each

244
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: other and posting a pick. Now, they were anchors together

245
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: on Sports Center during COVID, sitting next to each other

246
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: every day. No masks, We're ESPN. Who needs sports when

247
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: we can shove nutty left wing politics down your throat?

248
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: That's what you came here for. Right where's Colin Kaepernick?

249
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: I know he's like forty now and sucked when he

250
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: was actually in the league, But somehow somebody has got

251
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: to sign this guy. Let's talk about that all day.

252
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: My goodness, forget the bandwagon. All aboard the insanity trend,

253
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: the insane train. Folks.

254
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 5: Welcome to Wolf Center. Welcome back to the studio. At halftime,

255
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 5: lgbt Q NBA brought to you by Nike.

256
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: Nike just blew it.

257
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 5: Let's go down to the court and dick e V

258
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: Dickie VI, tell still doing games? How you doing, Dicky V?

259
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: Oh?

260
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 5: We got a Transie getting handsy.

261
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: He's in five twelble with the diaper, Dandy Transy Hansy

262
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: diaper and the Okay.

263
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 7: Thank you, Dicky V.

264
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 5: That stick never gets old. When we come back, it's

265
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: second half action. It's the hymns versus the shims. Tight

266
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 5: at eight at half time second half, action comes your way.

267
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 7: And man, are we really doing this?

268
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 5: This is terrible.

269
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: Harn it.

270
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: Steve on the Michael Berry Show, you are caller number one.

271
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 7: Good morning, Michael. I want to give kudos to sky Mike.

272
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 7: He is awesome. The other day he said, if if

273
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 7: you're hazardous, you need to take this route. And I

274
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 7: have never heard another traffic guy do that. I've heard

275
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 7: him do it before. And if you're a truck driver,

276
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 7: that means that means a lot to you. Just want

277
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 7: to give him a high five.

278
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, I hadn't even thought of that.

279
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 6: Mm hmmm.

280
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever thought of that.

281
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 7: That is, you're you're hauling hazardous material, you have to

282
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 7: go certain routes. Yes, there's parts of town you can't

283
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 7: go into and whatnot. You know, that's pretty awesome.

284
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: It is awesome. I'll tell you. I want this to

285
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: come off the right way. But when you're building a

286
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: radio station, and let's say you're building as k t

287
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: r H is a news talk station, you want to

288
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: you have ramon, you have uh, you have your news programs,

289
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: you have your talk programs, and then you have what

290
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: are called your service elements, and that's your traffic, your weather,

291
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: your financial news, and these sorts of things. If you

292
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: drive around the country and it sounds like you do,

293
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: you will hear that sometimes the service element provider is

294
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: an intern who's clearly reading off a piece of paper.

295
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: But when you have and you hear this on our

296
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: weather folks on KTRH in the mornings, when you have

297
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: folks that are they are delivering their service element as

298
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: if it is the Kennedy Center where they're receiving a

299
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: lifetime award. I honestly, Sky Mike is the best I

300
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: have heard do what he does that I've ever heard

301
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: in the country. He is that good and so much

302
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: of what he does, for instance, so many things Russia

303
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: used to say, I make this look easy, and it's true.

304
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: You don't know. You don't if you don't know the business,

305
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: if you've never been in that situation, you don't understand

306
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: why what he just did was so important and so

307
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: rare to be able to do it. You know, if

308
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: Nadia Koma each sticks the landing coming off the high bar,

309
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah it looks neat, but you can't you know.

310
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 7: It takes.

311
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: It takes Mary lurettin to go. Let me tell you

312
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: what she just did. Sky Mike is fantastic at what

313
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: he does, and part of that is he brings a

314
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: mindset into doing it of excellence. This isn't When I

315
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: got into radio, they would say they would use a

316
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: word shift. I said, don't ever use the word shift

317
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: with me. I don't do a shift. I'm not Lucille

318
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: Ball on the chocolate factory line. You're putting in eight

319
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: hours and then I'm done. You know somebody has to

320
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: stand here. People are fungible. It's not a shift. You

321
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: don't say to Rush Limbaugh. You know we need you

322
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: to shift today from eleven to two. No, this should

323
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: be like the greatest concert you've ever seen in your life.

324
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: You're talking about it thirty years later, and you should

325
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: have that mindset every single day you should arrive, you

326
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: know the old Martin Luther King Junior. If you can't

327
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: be a pine on the top of the hill, be

328
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: a scrub on the side of the hill. But be

329
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: the best little scrub on the side of the hill,

330
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: Be a bush. If you can't be a tree. Sky

331
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: Mike's attitude is I don't get to talk as long

332
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: as i'd like to because look, we all want to talk.

333
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Believe me, we all want to talk longer. I have

334
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: a job to do and that is to provide people's traffic.

335
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: And that's not just to read off what goes. And

336
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean that what you see there is somebody who

337
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: is committed to excellent. Thank you for pointing that out.

338
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: And that's your call to point out somebody in the kitchen,

339
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: somebody in the back, some secretary of somebody in your office.

340
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't get credit. Give them some credit today for

341
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: what they do.

342
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: I like that's own way too much.

343
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: Jim Mudd posited an interesting statement to the group, and

344
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: our show is not meant for the heir, but I'll

345
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: share it. He said, The British accent is the auditory

346
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: version of cursive writing, and I would argue to take

347
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: that to the next level, the English accent of received pronunciation,

348
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: which was the royal English, not the cockney, not the

349
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: street English. But when you hear the two spoken together,

350
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: and if you listen to my fair Lady Pygmaelion originally,

351
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: you'll see the difference between the poor English, the poor

352
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: English accent, and the what's called received pronunciation or a

353
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: very highbrow, and that's Henry Higgins. The dropping of the

354
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: original H is one hint that you are an impoverished person.

355
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: And of course the point of George Bernardshaw's peace was

356
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: that Henry Higgins could teach you to pass off as being,

357
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: if not royal, in this case, she was misperceived to be,

358
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: but at least elegant and rich, based purely on how

359
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: you form and use words. And if you don't think

360
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: that's true in America today, you are missing the boat.

361
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: You need not speak in an elevated manner, but you

362
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: must not speak in a certain manner. Freakonomics has a

363
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: chapter called a Rose by any other Name, and Stephen

364
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: Levitt begins a chapter by quoting the Shakespeare poem and

365
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: then gets into quote black names. I say quote because

366
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily black names. There what are perceived for

367
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: poor black names. The problem is black becomes shorthand for

368
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: a subculture of blacks, and that's what upsets blacks, including

369
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: that subculture, who happen to be part of it, but

370
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: everyone else is bothered by it. The use of apostrophes

371
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: and what are believed to be old African names, the

372
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: shemiquas and the Toma tweequas and the quinavions and all that,

373
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: and the belief that this is taking it back to

374
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: the roots, this is Africa. That concept is both erroneous.

375
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: That concept is both erroneous and ends up having the effect,

376
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: as it turns out, of setting people back. Studies are

377
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: done of when people apply for jobs, all these different people,

378
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: all these different ways that your name can have an

379
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: effect on your success level, and what he we talked

380
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: about correlative and causative earlier this week, but he what

381
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: he finally said was it's not that those kinds of

382
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: names are what is keeping blacks with that name back.

383
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: It's not the name itself. It is all the factors

384
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: that caused a child to be named as such and

385
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: their upbringing. Turns out, when you study those names with

386
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: the apostrophes and all that those names are given by

387
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: young black single female girls who don't have a man

388
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: in the home, and they're fourteen fifteen years old. So

389
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: when you are born into that home, the likelihood that

390
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: you're going to eat solid meals, have discipline, and still

391
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: go to school regularly and stay out of trouble is

392
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: very low, not because of your name, but because of

393
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: what happens if you follow the lineage on a line

394
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: on a linear trajectory, what happens to the child of

395
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: a single mom, fifteen years old, black girl in the hood.

396
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: It's not good, and it's not good because of racism.

397
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: It's not good because of anything other than this is

398
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: a child incapable of raising another child, and there's no

399
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: social system available to step in and solve this. And

400
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party's agenda is the idea that we're going

401
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: to solve this problem with a big welfare state. You're

402
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: not going to solve this problem with a welfare state.

403
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you don't try to solve this problem

404
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: as a community, because it becomes a community problem. It's

405
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: a problem that's true transferred over to the community, and

406
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel it. You're going to feel it in

407
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: crime rates, you're going to feel it in incarceration rates.

408
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: You're going to feel it in a poor workforce. You know,

409
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: at some point, if you kick all the illegals out,

410
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: at some point, you're going to have to staff a

411
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: number of particularly entry level positions with your own citizenry.

412
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: And this is not an argument not to kick the

413
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: illegals out. This is to say, we're going to have

414
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: a mass reckoning because you're going to start now seeing

415
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: the failures of the American family laid bear. You are

416
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: going to see those failures laid bare because you're going

417
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: to see people. You see it now. You go into

418
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: a hospital, you go into a government building, and you

419
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: get some big fat woman that has no in this

420
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: woman that was working nine one one, and people would

421
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: call with an emergency, she hang up on them. That's

422
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: a broken childhood laid bare. That's that's exactly what that is.

423
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: And we're gonna see just more and more and more

424
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: of that. All right, it's time for me to go

425
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: to the calls. But on that matter, how you learned?

426
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: This is sheridy Q Liquor.

427
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 6: With today's birthday and anniversary area. I want to wish

428
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 6: a very happy birthday this morning to Penelope and Arrhythmia.

Speaker 6: in her head and upsort. Being junior, his mama say

434
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 6: he turned at thirteen as far as she know, and

Speaker 6: crazy in hell. Okay, as far as anniversary Goemonia and

Speaker 6: gonna go ahead and celebrate tonight down there at the club.

438
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 6: They forgot their certificate, but she remembered it was some

439
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 6: time when it was hot, so it's probably about this time.

440
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 6: Ooh ooh. And you know what I had heard, Sharona

441
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 6: Quishi Kinelica. They said she had done eloped to it

442
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 6: with Devon Champlain and they were disappearing since last night.

443
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 6: But his Cadillac was spotted at the motel. I give

444
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: that one two weeks, honey. As soon as they both

445
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 6: sow up, they gonna realize that was ignorant, and they're

446
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 6: gonna have to get it a nudged it. And let's

447
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 6: stay on this day in history. Oh, five years ago today,

448
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 6: Chanelda Jenkins moved in upstairs with her five hundred pounds.

449
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: But lord, my ceiling ain't never.

450
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 6: Been the same since me done got cracked it all

451
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 6: up in it. Nobody had even saw that woman, but

452
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: every time she take a bath, I get nervous. Well,

453
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 6: all right there and half a half a day, and

454
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 6: tell you, mama, asked her how she dured

455
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: Zero,
