1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,159 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 2: Time, luck and load. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 3: So Michael Very Show is on the air. 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 4: This town needs an enema. The following feature has been 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 4: rated R. It is intended for mature audiences. 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: Have you been with the girl's art? That's it? More 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: get in their last beeper. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 4: I can put my whole fist in my mouth or 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 4: see you know what you look like to me, But 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 4: you have good dag and your cheap shoes. You look 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 4: like a load. Don't put that even on me, Richie, Bobby, 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 4: don't put that on up a heart in your general direction. 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 4: That's famous stuff o. 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 5: Celebrities use that, radio announcers and everything. 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 4: I'll say that bars just like a tattoo, gets under 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 4: your skin. 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: respect for the laws. 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 4: Yesterday afternoon I was visiting allergist doctor Colosso and he 20 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 4: said a number of you, after our conversation called and 21 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 4: made appointments to go see him. And we're talking about 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 4: a number of things. We have had very high winds 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 4: of late, as you know, and we have had the 24 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 4: combination of high winds, which is just a delivery mechanism 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 4: for pollen and lack of rain, He said either one 26 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 4: of those. If we could get some rain and the 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: winds would die down, it would help a lot in 28 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: shortening the pollen season, which has inflamed so many of us. 29 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: I take a Zyrtech now every day. My wife can't 30 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 4: take a zyrtech because it makes her sleepy, and she 31 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: takes it in the morning. I take it in the morning. 32 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 4: Doesn't bother me. She also says it makes her angry, 33 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 4: and I explain, I think I'm the one that makes 34 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 4: you angry. But that sweet of you to blame it 35 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 4: on the zertech because she's a very happy person. But 36 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 4: she said she finds herself being a little grumpier with 37 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: me and the boys if she's on zyrtech. I honestly 38 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 4: didn't notice it. I would tell you if I did, 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 4: because it would be very out of character for her. 40 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: But that's what she says. So she switched over to Allegra. 41 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: Doctor Colosso believes that Zertech is more effective, but Allegra 42 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: does not have the the downer effect. You know, some 43 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 4: people just don't process zyrtech very well. But he did 44 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 4: tell me that a number of you reached out to 45 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: him afterwards. I knew about a bunch of them, because 46 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 4: most people email me directly through the website Michael Berryshow 47 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: dot com, and then I send them the link to 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 4: how to get in touch, which we do all day long. 49 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: I do that for regarding show sponsors and all sorts 50 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 4: of things. But we were talking about something about the 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 4: practice of medicine and he went out independent from a 52 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 4: big practice, and we were talking about the pros and 53 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 4: cons of that. And you will notice that these doctors 54 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: will they're on their own. The ones that are on 55 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: their own, which is fewer and fewer, because even they 56 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: will associate, they have privileges with a major system memoryal 57 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: Herman Methodist, Texas Children's. You see these, and the reason 58 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 4: is because they have to negotiate the insurance payments. And 59 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: if you're independent, do you realize you could have a 60 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: strip center with an allergist or any other kind of 61 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: doctor on one end of the strip center and the 62 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 4: same of medicine being practiced by a doctor at the 63 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: other end of the strip center, and the same insurance 64 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 4: company would pay those two doctors different amounts of money 65 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 4: for the same exact procedure. And we were just talking 66 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 4: about how we're talking about how insurance now is driving 67 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: medicine to such an extent, and it gets worse every day. 68 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 4: For instance, he had a patient who was a listener 69 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: who came down from Willis and doctor Colosso it's called 70 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: advanced asthma and allergy. But if you email me, I'll 71 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: send it to you. And he's near the med center, 72 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 4: but out out of the med center, he's at Wesleyan 73 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: or Stella Link it's the same, and bel Air or 74 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: Hlcom it's the same. He's right at that little corner 75 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 4: right there, one block in on Gramercy. So the guy 76 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: comes in, or he's going to come in, and he 77 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 4: wants to get tested for allergies and see what he's 78 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 4: allergic to, because he knows he has a problem. He's 79 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 4: always stopped up. And ETNA, as an insurance has a 80 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: policy that you can't be tested for allergies on the 81 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 4: first visit to the doctor. We won't pay for that. 82 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: And so he Doctor Colosso told the guy, look, you're 83 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 4: going to have to make two trips. It's not my fault. 84 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 4: Etna's your insurance. And ETNA requires that you have to 85 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 4: come and see me, and then I have to suggest 86 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 4: that you need allergy tests. So you have to come 87 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 4: back again. Fellow was upset for good reason. It's not 88 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 4: my faultise. Otherwise, you have to pay cash for your 89 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 4: allergy test and whatever it is, four hundred dollars. And 90 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: so the guy said, no, I'll do the two trips. 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: I do appreciate you explaining it to me. And so 92 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: my theory is that what ETNA has figured out is 93 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: that if you have to come twice to get the 94 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: test instead of getting in the first time, a lot 95 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 4: of people just won't come twice, so ETNA won't have 96 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 4: to pay for it. And then you realize that the 97 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 4: people making your medical decisions effectively are the insurance company, 98 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 4: and the insurance company is not in the business of 99 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 4: keeping you healthy. The insurance company is in the business 100 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 4: of paying as little as possible. Because you've already paid 101 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: for your medical you've already paid for your insurance. Now 102 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: you are in a battle, you and your insurance between 103 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: how much of what you gave them they're going to 104 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 4: get back. But since the battle is battled with the doctor, 105 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 4: primarily you don't realize the games they're playing, So that 106 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 4: drives the doctor to have to play the game with 107 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 4: the insurance company. So now the doctor has to say, well, 108 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 4: they won't pay for us to do this, this, and this, 109 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 4: so we're just not going to do those procedures because 110 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 4: we can't afford to we'd go bankrupt. So you've got 111 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: insurance companies making your medical decisions. And this is why 112 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 4: you've got a number of these concierge practices. I know 113 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 4: a guy, doctor Will Davis, who is in a concierge practice. 114 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 4: I don't know his detail, but I know what this 115 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 4: business looks like because I ask people a lot of questions. 116 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 4: So what you're seeing now is people will pay a 117 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 4: membership of four thousand dollars membership and the doctor will 118 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 4: take on six hundred patients. So you've got two point 119 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: four million dollars that covers your nurses, your facility, your 120 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: equipment which is expensive, and your base salary. And then 121 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 4: there is a small fee. And a lot of these 122 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: concierge doctors now are making house calls. They've put themselves 123 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 4: in a position where they own a small business. It's 124 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 4: like my Ace Hardware Texas dot com guys. They're thirty 125 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 4: three stores that are part of Ace Hardware Texas dot Com. 126 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: And every one of these guys, you know would probably 127 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: be Bob's Hardware or Tom's Hardware. But in order to 128 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: be able to compete against the big box stores, but 129 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: the illegals outfront we used to they have to join 130 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: and it's worked out well so that they can afford 131 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: the products and all that, so it works. ACE Hardware 132 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: Texas dot Com. That's what these guys are doing as 133 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 4: part of these concierge practices. I actually liked that idea the. 134 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 5: Michael Berry Show. I will be Willie. 135 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 4: Tony, Joe, Jamie Johnson, Leon Russell may. Can you imagine 136 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: a vibe in that room? Sandy Peterson, our research director, writes, 137 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 4: I have moved to a concierge primary care doctor myself. 138 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 4: I find that it works better for me because I 139 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 4: like to discuss alternative ways to treat and or cure, 140 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: not just medicate. You know, we're at an interesting time 141 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: where people are reading and learning and the democratization of 142 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 4: information that scares people. A lot of people don't like 143 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 4: freedom of information because bad information can get out there. 144 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: So we have to have the good people who will 145 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: be in charge of regulating the information so that the serfs, 146 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 4: the serfs and the fiefdom that the peasants. We don't 147 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 4: want them getting all the information because some of it 148 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 4: won't be good information and they'll believe it. So we 149 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: have to have experts. We have to have gatekeepers. We 150 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 4: have to have hospital systems and experts and public officials 151 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 4: and CNN who will tell us what is and isn't 152 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 4: tr what works and what doesn't. And you know, there'll 153 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: be a fee for all that you understand. And there'll 154 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: be good drugs that won't be allowed on the market 155 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: that could help people, but if we're not getting paid 156 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 4: from them, we'll call them the devil's let us. And 157 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: then there will be bad drugs that can kill people, 158 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 4: and we'll call them life saving. And we'll get advertising dollars, 159 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 4: and we'll get scholarships, and we'll get fellowships, and we'll 160 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 4: get salaries paid and nice speaking engagements around the world, 161 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 4: and it'll all work. We'll feel good about ourselves because 162 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 4: we're the good guys and those self medicators are the 163 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: bad guys. There is a trend today where people are 164 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 4: taking more control of their own health, mental and physical, 165 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: for themselves as to what they eat, how they extra. 166 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 4: Most of my life, I believe that if you wanted 167 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 4: to lose weight. You go out and start jogging January first, 168 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 4: you'd see every fatty out there. Get you out there, 169 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 4: just starting to jog. There we go, because you're going 170 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: to lose weight. Well, then you find out later and 171 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 4: it wasn't a bad thing, it wasn't evil. You find 172 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 4: out later that has nothing to do with losing weight. 173 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 4: In fact, many studies have shown it doesn't help at all, 174 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: zero effect. Nobody told you that what you ought to 175 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 4: be doing is strength training, particularly for your core. Nobody 176 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: told you all those things. Nobody told me all those things, 177 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 4: and in large part they weren't known the weight room. 178 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 4: The gym was for meatheads who were recently divorced to 179 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: go looking at themselves in the mirror and see that 180 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 4: their biceps were growing and grunt and hopefully some cute 181 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: girl would be there before her shift as a stripper 182 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 4: and they could hook up. That's what gems were for. 183 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 4: And then people started learning, oh, there are things I 184 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 4: can do for myself. There are things I can do 185 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 4: to treat this condition, these rashes, this incontinence, this stomach pains, 186 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: lack of sleep. There are things I can do to 187 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: change my diet that can affect all those things there. 188 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 4: My diet can affect, you know, hair loss in some cases, 189 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 4: or skin rashes, or it might be contact dermatitis. I've 190 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: got dust mites, or I'm coming in contact with this. 191 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 4: Maybe I could I could change how much pollen I'm 192 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 4: affected by, or with a simple rents, get that irritant, 193 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 4: that antigen out of my nose where it's causing all 194 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 4: these problems. Maybe I don't have to always have puffy 195 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: eyes and be stopped up and talk like the muffin man. 196 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 4: Maybe I don't have to live like that, And maybe 197 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 4: I don't have to take a pill to do it. 198 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: And maybe I don't have to take a pill to 199 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 4: get rid of the acid reflux. Maybe it depends on 200 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: when I eat, what I eat, and how I sleep. 201 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 4: Who knew? Who knew that there are things that don't 202 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 4: cost any money or cost very little that could treat 203 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 4: conditions that we have not all the time. But who 204 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: knew that many things that we have taken for granted. 205 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 4: As friend of mine had a severe medical episode, doctors 206 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: found out he was pre diabetic, really probably close to 207 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 4: being diabetic but not yet insulin dependent, put a CGM 208 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: continuous glucose monitor on him. Got his glucose down to 209 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 4: one hundred consistently, whereas it was four hundred when he 210 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: went to the hospital, and all of a sudden his 211 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 4: vision improved. Wait a second, you mean diabetics go blind 212 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 4: because of the high blood The sugars causes blindness, and 213 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 4: he would pre diabetic with very high sugar rates. He 214 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 4: brought the sugar level down to a very healthy rate, 215 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden his vision improved dramatically overnight. 216 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 4: It didn't cost any money, I mean a continuous glucose 217 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: monitor did, but whatever, not very much. He didn't have 218 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: to have a surgery, He didn't have to have any 219 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 4: of the dramatic things that people spend all his money on. 220 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 4: It was a change of diet in sugar regulation. And 221 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 4: guess what. It turns out some of the things we 222 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 4: thought were loaded with sugar aren't. And it turns out 223 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: that some things that we thought were good for us 224 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: are loaded with sugar. It's all information, and you got 225 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 4: to want it. You got to read it on your own. 226 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 4: But it should be transparent, should be available. And guess what, 227 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 4: some of us should get to choose to make bad 228 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 4: decisions too. Government shouldn't prevent that either there should be 229 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 4: this wonderful marketplace where there's all the products in the world. 230 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 4: We can choose to be healthy or not motivated, or 231 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 4: not up all night or. 232 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: Not bizarre of talk radio The Michael Berry Show. 233 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 4: If you don't have plans this evening twenty nine to 234 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 4: twenty Roadhouse brind Kelly Burmaster has our dear buddy Cory 235 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 4: Morrow tonight, and I know they have a few tickets left. 236 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 4: It's a fun place to watch a show.

I've debated whether 239 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 4: it needs a roof or not, because it's nice that 240 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 4: it's open air.

I think you bring harmon sense to 299 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 5: a lot of issues. I'm about your age, maybe a 300 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 5: couple of years older. I grew up in California. I 301 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 5: smoked marijuana for a long time during the nineties and 302 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 5: I haven't in a long long time. But I have 303 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 5: an uncle who had neuropathy that it was the only 304 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 5: cure and it was the only thing that took away 305 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 5: the pain and then just didn't completely turn him into 306 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: a vegetable. And I had a son who had issues 307 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,239 Speaker 5: with it going through high school, and we dealt with that. 308 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 5: But and I'm telling you, kids buy it off Snapchat 309 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 5: and fentanyl brings a whole other issue into this. And 310 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 5: when you legalize stuff. And I'm not saying legalize it 311 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 5: so kids can buy it, but if it's. 312 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 7: A twenty one or twenty one stupid, but eighteen, which 313 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 7: should be the drinking age as well. I think it's 314 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 7: safe and I think it's effective, you know, listening to Joe. 315 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 5: I have my son listened to Joe Rogan and how 316 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 5: he talks about it's not good for kids in the 317 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 5: brain development and it worked. It's It's just something now 318 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 5: I can't believe it. I can't get behind Dan Patrick 319 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 5: for these reasons.

This is 323 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 4: where we lose conservative women on this issue. A friend 324 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: of mine who is probably more knowledgeable about marijuana than 325 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 4: any person, book anything else I have ever read, and 326 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 4: the reason is he had a family member with epilepsy, 327 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: severe epilepsy. They documented on one occasion over two hundred 328 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 4: seizures in one days, went on for six years. Have 329 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 4: you ever seen an epileptic seizure? You will never forget 330 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 4: it for the rest of your life. It is one 331 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 4: of those things that, especially in a child, is one 332 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: of those things that shakes you to your core. You're 333 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: certain they're dying. You are positive they're dying, and then 334 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 4: it stops, and then they're okay, and then you live 335 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 4: in constant fear of it happening again because it comes 336 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 4: without any warning. There's no amber alert, there's no siren, 337 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: there's no tornado horn. It just hits and at any 338 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 4: moment it could be the last. And he took his 339 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 4: daughter everywhere in the world he could to get or treated. 340 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 4: Six years this went on. The damage, her teeth were broken, 341 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 4: I mean, it was oh tragic. And there was a 342 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 4: doctor who said, I can't I cannot treat you for 343 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 4: this in your state as a Texas resident, but if 344 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 4: you took up rust. So my friend took up residence 345 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 4: in that state so that he and his wife and 346 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 4: his other daughters and sons, and it brought relief. And 347 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 4: he studied my little girl. She was like twelve fourteen 348 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 4: at the time and now she is she's not had 349 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 4: a seizure in years, so you know, these are complicated issues. 350 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 4: But he says, look, he's for marijuana legalization, but he says, 351 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 4: you have to be very careful because they're The one 352 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 4: downside to marijuana is that it does have a detrimental 353 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 4: effect to the development of the brain of a teenager 354 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 4: his daughter. They didn't do THCHC. The THHC is what 355 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 4: has what created it. They did cannabinoids, which does not 356 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 4: which studies have not found to have a detrimental effect 357 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: on the brain development of young people. But sixteen year 358 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: old smoking joints is a bad thing. It is bad 359 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 4: for their development. Twenty five year old wants to do it. 360 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 4: Go knock yourself out. You're not doing yourself any harm. 361 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 4: The smoking is not great for your lungs because it's 362 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 4: a pretty thick it's a pretty thick smoke. But a 363 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 4: sixteen year old wants to do gummies, terrible, twenty five 364 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 4: year old wants to do gummies. Just don't get out 365 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: and operate a motor vehicle, because driving while baked is 366 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 4: a bad idea. But I'd rather you do that than drink. 367 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 7: It's ramon the King of ding It and this other guy, 368 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 7: Michael Barry. 369 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: To get done. 370 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 4: I have monopolized the time this week, so I'm going 371 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 4: to cut in early and I'm going to give each 372 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 4: caller one minute my apologies.

Harriet, you're on the Michael Berry Show. 377 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 6: Go ahead, dear, Uh yes, sir, I propose a challenge. 378 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 6: I can speak a sentence to you in English that 379 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 6: you cannot write down. Yeah, we do that. 380 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead. 381 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 6: Okay, you get a pencil. I won't need to There 382 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 6: are three There are three two's in the English language. 383 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 3: That's it. 384 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So what do we do now? 385 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 6: Well, most people are taken by surprise because they don't 386 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 6: think there's a sentence that can't be written down. At 387 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 6: some point, I got it from an astrophysicist I used 388 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 6: to know. 389 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not sure. I'm not sure where to process. 390 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 4: I think I might be missing the point. It sounds 391 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 4: like an interesting puzzle and might launch an interesting conversation, 392 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 4: but I'm afraid i'm not getting it. I mean, I 393 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 4: get the preposition to the number two and as well, 394 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: but I'm not sure beyond that. Tom, You're on the 395 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 4: Michael Berry Show. 396 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: Go ahead, sir, Yeah, hey, I was wondering about a 397 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: signage Conan from Louisiana. Number one, they never saw that 398 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: murder for the girl and it's still there since nineteen 399 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 3: eighty six because the father wants to find out who 400 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: killed her. Number two, I love the sign Orange, you 401 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 3: glad you're in Texas? And number three, what happened to 402 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 3: the Pearl sign in Beaumont. 403 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 4: I'll take them in reverse order. So I tried to 404 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 4: buy that Pearl sign. I tracked down the owner, we 405 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 4: got to a price, and I think they were going 406 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 4: to sell it to me for ten thousand dollars. They 407 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 4: wanted to sign preserved, but I hired a sign company 408 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 4: here in Houston, or I engaged a sign company to 409 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 4: give me a bid, and they went over. They went 410 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: up and looked at it, and they said, look, we 411 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 4: don't believe that the sign is going to survive the 412 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 4: move from here to Houston to put at the RCC, 413 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 4: because that's what I wanted to put it up up there. 414 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 4: We believe we're going to have to rebuild a goodly 415 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 4: portion of it because when you when you take it off, 416 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 4: some of that stuff, some of it's just gonna crumble, 417 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 4: it's just going to disintegrate. And so it was going 418 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 4: to be about fifty thousand dollars, So it was gonna 419 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 4: be ten for the sign and fifty to move it. 420 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 4: And they said, we still can't guarantee you. We'll just 421 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 4: have to There'll be parts of the sign that'll just 422 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 4: be new parts and will be rebuilt, and I decided 423 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 4: I ended up deciding that it probably wasn't worth it. 424 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 4: The second one, yeah, I love that sign. And the 425 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 4: third one I have debated over the years having that 426 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 4: father come on the show, if somebody knows him, having 427 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: him come on the show. He says his daughter was murdered. 428 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: I think it's the guy her husband or boyfriend at 429 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 4: the time. The father set up a sting and caught 430 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 4: him defacing her tombstone. If you are defacing the tombstone 431 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 4: of your ex and you have been accused of murdering her, 432 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 4: I can't imagine what you would do that would make 433 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 4: it seem more like you did it than that right there. 434 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that would be an interesting interview. 435 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: If somebody can connect me with him, email me, reach 436 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 4: out to him, get his number, email me his number 437 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 4: and tell me he's ready to talk. We'll put him 438 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,239 Speaker 4: on the air. I would be happy to do that. 439 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 4: Good call, Lisa, You're on Michael Berry Show, Go ahead, 440 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 4: shoe Heart. 441 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: Morton. 442 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 2: Michael, you know, I'm glad you brought up brought up 443 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 2: about Dan Patrick because I think he has better hills 444 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 2: to die on. I watched our local hospital. Actually they're 445 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: responsible for my dad's deaths because of neglect, And I say, 446 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot more things he could look 447 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 2: into than THHC. I've never done drugs. I've never been 448 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: interested in drugs, but I do know that it's helped 449 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: a lot of people, and I think it helps a 450 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: lot more people than the actual pharmaceuticals. So it makes 451 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: me wonder how many insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies are 452 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: actually in Dan Patrick's pocket. 453 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 4: I don't know. I will tell you this. I have 454 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 4: been extraordinarily impressed and spread. I have expressed this on 455 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 4: the air, and we talk off air, half talked many times. 456 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 4: I think he's done a wonderful job. I think he's 457 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 4: the most powerful political force in the state of Texas 458 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 4: by far. He is the de facto governor. He has 459 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 4: the Senate operating very, very efficiently. I served with Carolavarado 460 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 4: as a city councilman. She's the head of the Democrats 461 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 4: in the Senate, and I get she gets along with 462 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 4: Dan Patrick extraordinarily well, and they get things done. The 463 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 4: Senate actually gets things done. I hope people change course. 464 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: And I say that not as somebody who is trying 465 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 4: to tear him down, but as somebody who's trying to 466 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 4: offer good advice and share my opinions on the air. 467 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 4: It's not like we can't get through this, not like 468 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 4: this will be the only but I think this is 469 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: a massive waste of political capital for something that a 470 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 4: is not going to get passed, and B if it does, 471 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 4: it will hurt us with our core. This is going 472 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 4: to end up being a very unsuccessful legislative session. The 473 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 4: House has bogged everything down. The Senate can't do it 474 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: without them. The Governor's only the governor's only concern, only 475 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: concern is the school vouchers. And I'm not sure it 476 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: will pass, and if it does, I'm not sure that 477 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 4: we will have anybody happy with what comes out of it, 478 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 4: And so we squander an opportunity. It'll be two more 479 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 4: years in another full election cycle before we have an opportunity, 480 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 4: and we got real problems in this state that we're 481 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 4: not solving, and it frustrates me. It frustrates me that 482 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 4: you're squandering the effort of good people like you that 483 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 4: help win elections and that this is what it's going to. 484 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 4: Edgar and Maria, you're. 485 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 8: Up, Go ahead, Yes, good morning, mister Barry. This is Maria. 486 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 8: My husband is your biggest fan and his difference to 487 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 8: you every day, so I'm probably new at this. So, 488 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 8: mister Barry, my question is most I would like to 489 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 8: know whether your thoughts regarding this this Muslim city that 490 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 8: is like about four hundred five hundred acres north of Dallas. 491 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 8: I think it's in McKinney. This seems to be a 492 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 8: much bigger problem than anything else right in our backyard. 493 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 8: I thought that Governor Abbott had banned the sharaylo in Texas, 494 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,239 Speaker 8: but this is something that I've been reading more and 495 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 8: more about it, and it's really concerning. What do you 496 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 8: think about? 497 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 4: Well, for sure, what about it is concerning you specifically? 498 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 8: Well, they are pretty much building a city that seems 499 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 8: to be like a migration hub for Islamics.
