1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on the air.

3
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back back

4
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: to when music felt like a dream, back to when

5
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: Brian Wilson first tuned his soul to the sound of

6
00:00:51,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: the sea. If Brian Wilson didn't just write songs, he

7
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: built cathedrals out of sound. He took a surfboard, a heartbreak,

8
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: and a piano and made something holy.

9
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: Fizo Godmzys's young man.

10
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: He heard things the rest of us just missed, not

11
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: just notes, emotions. He turned loneliness into harmony, turned fear

12
00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: into falsetto, turned childhood pain into beauty.

13
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: I love and the way the sunlight plays a partner.

14
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: While the world chase hits. Brian Wilson chased truth and

15
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: quietly changed the course of music far beyond his own band.

16
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: He showed us that pop could be art, that noise

17
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: could be poetry. He didn't follow the formula, he rewrote it,

18
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: and through all the chaos in his mind, he gave

19
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: our chaos a melody. We thought he was writing about California,

20
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: but really he was writing about us, our longing, our innocence,

21
00:02:49,440 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: our need to believe in something beautiful. Brian Wilson wasn't

22
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: just a beach boy. He was the ocean, and now

23
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: he's gone back to it.

24
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: I may not always love you, but line is there

25
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: are stas love you.

26
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: You never need to Dad, I'll thank you so shit.

27
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: Buddy good Oden knows what I be with that you.

28
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Live anything this Eddie Martini boughts the moment, nice watch.

29
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: He's really up to his production since then. It is

30
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: not an exaggeration to say Brian Wilson eighty two, the

31
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: real heart and soul of the Beach Boys, has passed.

32
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: It is not an exaggeration to say that Brian Wilson

33
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: is the Mozart or Beethoven of the twentieth century. Paul McCartney,

34
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: John Lennon, Brian Wilson. These are the men who have

35
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: affected in the most tectonic way world music as we

36
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: know it for the popular culture. And it is an incredible,

37
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: incredible loss to humanity his passing. You know, I find

38
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: it interesting. I posted yesterday that Brian Wilson had passed,

39
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: and the only thing a number of people could think

40
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: to comment was, here's real massed up and hey you okay, well, yeah,

41
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: I suppose that's true, but it's really not the point

42
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: of it all. I don't know why people do that.

43
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a well, he might have

44
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: been great, but at least I'm not crazy. I never

45
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: understand that yet. Yes, he struggled with severe depression, but

46
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: we're all going to be gone, sooner or later. We're

47
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: all going to be gone, And the question is what

48
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: do you leave behind? Because one hundred years from now,

49
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: nobody will remember you were bat blank crazy. They just won't.

50
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: They will remember what did you do with you a

51
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: great father or mother? Did you create some great art

52
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: and hand it off to the universe and it'll be

53
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: remembered one hundred years. Hence, that is what is noteworthy.

54
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: That's what we should celebrate, not something he didn't choose.

55
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Having been tormented by depression, which, by the way, many

56
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: people are, and being eighty two. In the early to

57
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: mid sixties, when he was at his prime and really

58
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: fell under the throes of it, there were not the resources,

59
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: both in people and drugs that there are today. There

60
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: are a number of people who are functioning with depression

61
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: that could not have at that time. In any case,

62
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: we had a segment last night our second segment, so

63
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: we call that fifty two our second segment of the

64
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: five o'clock hour. Most of you know, we do this

65
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: morning show and then we do an evening show from

66
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: five to seven, and when the astros are not on,

67
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: there's a replay from seven to nine, which oddly enough,

68
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: absolutely kills in the ratings, which we find quite funny

69
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: because we've already been on five hours a day, which

70
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: is more than anybody in the country, and they replayed

71
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: two more hours, which we love because we love us

72
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: and Michael Berry show from seven to nine and it

73
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: dominates the time slot, so that's pretty cool. But anyway,

74
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: we had a segment last night related to the movie

75
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: rain Man, and I won't redo this segment now because

76
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: we're going to replay it in just a moment. Our

77
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: next segment's going to be a replay from next night,

78
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: and then we'll get back to the show live. But

79
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: it was an interesting moment a discovery I had made

80
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: yesterday about rain Man, and the reason was I went

81
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: looking into Brian Wilson's history and the mental health treatment

82
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: he had received and trying to get some sense of

83
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: it all, and I had landed on rain Man and

84
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: how Rainman had addressed folks on the spectrum, which I

85
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: guess I should be careful. I'm gonna ended up going

86
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: back into the whole segment I did last night. We

87
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. Let me just say this.

88
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: When I started in radio twenty years ago, I had

89
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: a program director I'd even care for it, and he

90
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: used to say, don't ever judge how the show goes

91
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: by the reaction of the audience, because even Dion Warwick

92
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: in the Psychic Hotline gets a lot of phone calls,

93
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: doesn't make it good radio. And I've come to find

94
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: that that's not true. Our listeners are pretty honest. You

95
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: folks are pretty honest. And we had such an outpouring

96
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: of emails about last night's show that we're doing something

97
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: we almost never do, and that is in the next segment,

98
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: we're replaying last night's show and then we'll get back

99
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: to it. Flavor Long and I met Michael Berry's Chocta free.

100
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 4: Out.

101
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: This intro song and our opening segment of the show

102
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: last night got more email responses of praise than I

103
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: have received in years. So we are going to replay

104
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: that segment right now, just as it was.

105
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: What we've got here is milk cage.

106
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 5: Most of the people hovering that campaign were not particularly

107
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: knowledgeable about the past and didn't you know, may may

108
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 5: not have even known that. You know, America firsters pac

109
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 5: Madison Square Garden in nineteen thirty nine and a pro

110
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 5: Nazi Germany rally.

111
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: You said over the weekend, referring to it, there's a

112
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,359
Speaker 1: direct parallel to a big rally that happened.

113
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 4: In the mid nineteen thirties, that Medicine Square Garden.

114
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: So I know what I saw, and I'll just leave

115
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: it at that. Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?

116
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 6: Yes?

117
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: I do, Yes, I do.

118
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 5: The races, sex, is homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it.

119
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 4: Only garbage I see floating down there as his supporters.

120
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: His demonization is seen as unconstable, and it's not America.

121
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 5: You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I

122
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 5: call the basket of deplora win.

123
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: Look at the fee with.

124
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 7: Look at the wind away with bomus come the ball.

125
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 8: You know that's a little bit old, that chart, that

126
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 8: charts a couple of months old. And if you want

127
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 8: to really see something that said, take a look at

128
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 8: what happened.

129
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 6: The reasoning man. We believe the same blood, we share

130
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 6: the same home, and we salute the same great American flag.

131
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 8: We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation

132
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 8: under God.

133
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: So Jews and Muslims and.

134
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 8: Catholics and Evangelicals and Mormons, and they're all joining our

135
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 8: corps and large numbers, larger than anyone has ever seen

136
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 8: in this country before, larger than they've ever seen in

137
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 8: any country. And the Republican Party has really become the

138
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 8: Party of inclusion, and that's something very nice about that.

139
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: Can we just can we just take a moment. I'm

140
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: fifty four. If you are my age. Gn R was

141
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: our Beatles. I don't need to hear it from you

142
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: that grew up with the Beatles. I'm just telling you.

143
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: GNR was ubiquitous. They were everywhere all the time. You

144
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: listened to them on the radio. You it was really

145
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: the only place you could get music back then. Somebody

146
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: maybe had a cassette tape. If you were in a

147
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: public place, if there was a festival, if there was

148
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: a sporting event. Man, it was GNR actual roads. I

149
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: mean it was. They were so darn big it is

150
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: hard to imagine. I mean, I don't know who's that

151
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: big today because the eighties had brought in this new

152
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: wave which was just basically a shaving the edges off

153
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: of disco and calling it pop, but it was really disco.

154
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: You can go back and look at it mathematically, the

155
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: way the music is structured, so many the glam version

156
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: of it. Anyway, we didn't. We're going to talk about

157
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: terrorism in America today, which is what's going on across

158
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: the country, who's funding it, how it should be dealt with,

159
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: why it matters. But first I want to take you

160
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: back to nineteen eighty eight because we're also in about

161
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: that era in that mode. In nineteen eighty eight, the

162
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: largest grossing film of the year was rain Man. Follow

163
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: Me Here for a Moment. Rainman was nominated for eight

164
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: awards at the sixty first Academy Awards, Best Picture, Best Director,

165
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: Best Actor for Dustin Hoffman, Best Original screenpay Play. I

166
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: am not a Tom Cruise fan, not at all. But

167
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: I think he is so good in Tropic Thunder, in

168
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: a role that's outside the norm for him, which is

169
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: why I like it, and it's awesome, And I think

170
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: he is so good in rain Man. He's got you

171
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: so twisted off, bent out of shape, aggravated by his

172
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: character in rain Man that you almost wonder if they

173
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: starved him of sleeping food for days to get him

174
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: that edgy to play that role. The movie is so

175
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: incredibly good, it's just wonderful. It's such a frame of reference.

176
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, if Judge Watner's name is mentioned, or if

177
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: somebody is just too locked in on, you know, doing

178
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: something at a certain time and refuses to be the

179
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: character that was Dustin Hoffman in that film, it really

180
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: moves the conversation forward because it gives you a frame

181
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: of reference to talk about certain obsessive, compulsive behaviors. That

182
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: was before we started referring to people, including ourselves, as

183
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: somewhere on the spectrum, which I think most people are

184
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: somewhere on the spectrum, including and especially high performing individuals.

185
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is way out there on the spectrum. But

186
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: then again, you're not a normal guy if you if

187
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: you build Tesla and SpaceX and start Link and the

188
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: Boring Company and everything that he's done, and you want

189
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: to father a bunch of kids to to you know,

190
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: further the race or the species or whatever else. But

191
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: thank God for him, We need people like that, they move.

192
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: They moved the ball forward anyway. Dustin Hoffman's character was

193
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: was really an opportunity for us to kind of to

194
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: put our arms around and begin to grasp this concept

195
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: of not even retardation because we had dealt with that,

196
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: this concept of people that are somewhere on the spectrum

197
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: and yet still able to function. But the reason I

198
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: brought this up is there is a scene in the

199
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: movie where the two of them are in the phone booth.

200
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Remember Tom Cruise has basically kidnapped him, and they call

201
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: back to the doctor. Remember that, and Dustin Hoffman farts.

202
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: This is just right after the fart scene in the

203
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: phone booth.

204
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 4: Oh, Charlie battant on home, aren't did you fart? Aren't?

205
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: Did you?

206
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: How can you stay in that? My own mind? How

207
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: can you stand there now?

208
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: The reason I told you that is I just learned

209
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: today that Dustin Hoffman did fark and it wasn't in

210
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: the script and they improvised that. How awesome is that?

211
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: Don't worry, We'll talk about the riots. I just want

212
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: to start with that because I think it's a great story.

213
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: The Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show, Yeah.

214
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Think about this. I saw a mean said California in

215
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five. A bunch of young folks and they

216
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: were all white, standing around a white Mustang convertible. Pretty girls,

217
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: blonde hair. The guys all look like models, you know

218
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: who the guys looked like. What was the guys? Was

219
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: it James Spader that always played the bad guy in

220
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: the eighties. They all looked like him, full had of

221
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: blonde hair. I mean, I know he's bald now. But

222
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: and they're all at the beach and they're all dressed,

223
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know what you wore back then. Oh,

224
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a brand. Op op

225
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: was what I was growing up. Ocean Pacific And you know,

226
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: they're frolicking in the sand around the car and they're happy.

227
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: And Brian Wilson was writing the soundtrack to that life.

228
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: The beach boys, the beach, the California beach, soaking in

229
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: the rays, the girls, the boys frolicking having fun, whimsical.

230
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: That was California in nineteen sixty five. When pet Sounds hit.

231
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that was it, man, that was the feel.

232
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: That was it. Fast forward sixty years, how appropriate now

233
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: California is some mixed bag of illegal alien Mexicans, Muslim terrorists,

234
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: complete trash from around the world, the worst of the worst,

235
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: the crap, whole country sending US dumping on us, their terrorists,

236
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: child traffickers, ex cons. This mari Elis boat lift all

237
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: over again. That's what California has become. That's what it

238
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: was allowed to become. They didn't invade violently. They were

239
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: welcomed by guilt ridden white people who were ashamed at

240
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: how well they were living. Don't worry, They're not the

241
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: only ones. That's happening in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England's lost

242
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: to the Caliphate. Chance McLain meanwhile, trying to outdo ramon Roman.

243
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: I hope you know this was an attempt out do you.

244
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: This was a This was a shot at your kingdom.

245
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: I just your dingdom. This was a shot at your

246
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: Dingdom's what it was. Chance McLain writes, quote my whole life.

247
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: This was after Brian Wilson died. We all had a

248
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: group cry my whole life. The Beach Boys, which means

249
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: Brian Wilson have been a dominant inspiration for the music

250
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: I love and the music I've made. It's always been

251
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: to Beach Boys. The Beatles, Hank Junior, and the Cars.

252
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: As the years and decades passed, these were joined by

253
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: various bands Erasure but Shut Up, Ramon, I Love Eraser,

254
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: bon Jovi, and more recently My Chemical Romance, Muse and

255
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: the Killers. Some of these have come and gone, but

256
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: that Core four has never changed. The Beach Boys, the Beatles,

257
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: Hank Jr. And the Cars. That feels weird putting the

258
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: cars in that category, doesn't it? Okay? I guess if

259
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: you don't want any credibility, throw the cars in there.

260
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: And the first of the core four is Brian Wilson.

261
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: The sound he made was so different and distinct yet

262
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: fit with his contemporaries. And at the root is how

263
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: he used harmony so brilliantly. He used layering masterfully. Oh

264
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: that's funny, because I talked about layering yesterday. Just don't

265
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: quote me in okay, I want to come up with

266
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: that concept who He would bring in weird instruments. His

267
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: songs would take wild journeys into unexpected directions. He was

268
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: daring but not inaccessible. He and his co writers would

269
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: write seemingly playful lyrics that had depth under the surface,

270
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: or they might write something that would seem pretentious if

271
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: anyone else wrote it, but then he wrote it. But

272
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: when he wrote it, we bought it. His life was imperfect.

273
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: From when I'm trying to bungle some of his words,

274
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: so his doesn't end up better than yours. I don't

275
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: want to outshine you. He had all the struggles, but man,

276
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: could that dude make music? Rest in peace, sincerely, I

277
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: hope that in death this genius found the piece that

278
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: eluded him for over eighty years. Often the turmoil in

279
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: our lives is what enables us to make great art.

280
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean us humans. If that's true. I hate that

281
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: he had to suffer, But holy hell, am I grateful

282
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: for the music, as are millions upon millions of people.

283
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: His influence as a songwriter cannot be overstated. While inducting

284
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Brian Wilson into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Sir Paul

285
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: McCartney told those in attendance that Brian Wilson's music would

286
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: often make him cry.

287
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 9: He wrote some music. When I played it, it made

288
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 9: me cry, and I don't quite know why. It wasn't

289
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 9: necessarily the words of the music. There's just something so

290
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 9: deep in it that there's only certain pieces of music

291
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 9: can do this to me and just reach it right

292
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 9: down in me. And I think it's a sign of

293
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 9: great genius to be able to do that with a

294
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 9: bunch of words and a bunch of notes.

295
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 4: And this man, he deserves to be in the Hall

296
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: of Fame, that's sure.

297
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 9: So thank you, sir for everything you've done for me,

298
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 9: for making me cry, for having that thing you can

299
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 9: do with your music. You just put those notes, those

300
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 9: harmonies together, stick a couple of words over the top

301
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 9: of it, and you've got me.

302
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: Any day, ladies and gentlemen.

303
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 4: Brian Wilson.

304
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: That was his induction into what the rock and roll

305
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. That's right. Yeah, so you've got le

306
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: chic and Brian Wilson. Yeah really it really.

307
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 6: So.

308
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: Our group is heavy. If we had slack, that's would

309
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: be on slack, But we don't do slack. That's a

310
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: side channel site. I don't know if people still use slack.

311
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: But a friend of mine a few years ago, Russell Linley,

312
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: he had a nationwide ad agency called ad Results, and

313
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: they were the biggest and the best at what they did,

314
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: and from Rush to Hannity to back, I don't want

315
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: to put myself in that category, but we were a

316
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: part of their stable. When a national company wanted live endorsements,

317
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: not just advertisement, live endorsements, they would go to them

318
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: and say, who would be a good partner for this product?

319
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: And for about five years I didn't speak for them

320
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: because the spots had to read a script and I

321
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 1: don't read scripts. If I don't. If I like your

322
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: if I like your product, you don't have to tell

323
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: me what hours Connie Connie Stagner is open, right, You

324
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: don't need to tell me that. You don't need to

325
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: tell me what hours us coin is open or what

326
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: sale they're having for Memorial Day, because nothing honors dead

327
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: soldiers quite like twenty five percent off, you know. Tell

328
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: me that they don't do that sort of stuff. It's

329
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: a long term play. It's a brand partnership. It's a

330
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: they share our values kind of deal. But Russell is

331
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 1: a genius, and they sold their company for a lot

332
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: of money because he's a genius. He and Marshall Williams

333
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: his partner, just a business partner, none just but just

334
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: business partner. They're actually both oddly married to insanely gorgeous women.

335
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: So they could be gay because gay guys always married

336
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: just these over the top gorgeous women. So yeah, you know,

337
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: come to think of it, yeah, they'd make a nice

338
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: gay couple. Yeah, and they make a lot of money.

339
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: They're really smart and really high energy. But anyway, so

340
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Russell told me years ago, he was like, I tell

341
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: you what, I'll send it to you on Slack. And

342
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I said, what is slack? He said, what's a side channel? Well,

343
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: I don't know what the primary channel is. What's a

344
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: side channel? I feel like my grandmother all over again.

345
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, it's slack. You know, you got

346
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: it up on your screen and while you're working, people

347
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: in the office they can send you, you know, comments

348
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: on whoa man. I got too many things coming at

349
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: me already. I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull

350
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: back on Slack. No slack for me, no man, listen,

351
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: you got your people on slack. And then and Russell

352
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: is he's not on cocaine. But he's the guy that

353
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: if you found out he was, he's not. He's actually

354
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: stone close over. He doesn't do anything. He's a what

355
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: do you call it, straight edge like ad uh? But

356
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, I mean, you know, you can just

357
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: shoot somebody a message. I got email. I don't. I

358
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: don't need another place to check messages. I don't want

359
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: to do that. But if we had slacked, that's where

360
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: this is going on, was going by email. And everybody's

361
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: making fun of Ramone for being the first one for

362
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: his Brian Wilson tribute because I told everybody, you know,

363
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: let's pay proper tribute to Brian Wilson, and Darryl Kunda said,

364
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Ramone's got that quote first kid to turn in their

365
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: test vibe. Maybe fid he's getting some kickback money from

366
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: the cartel to Michael Berry show that, or he's got

367
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: the brains of the new Stephen Page, who I would

368
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: argue was the heart and soul of Baron negu Lady's

369
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: been only really one half the front name duo.

370
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 7: I try to turn that up sane heal lovest joy

371
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 7: A Bland Buggatsarland Castle film son.

372
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: Of He was a York University in Toronto, Miami. The

373
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: year was nineteen ninety and he was really connected to

374
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: Brian Wilson, and not just the early sixties Brian Wilson,

375
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: but ran Wilson through the seventies when most people had

376
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: forgotten him. The band had at his direction at his

377
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: request kind of moved on. The Beach Boys had gone

378
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: on tour multiple times. He could not join them because

379
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: he was struggling with mental health problems so badly. And

380
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: at one point he had he was looking for inspiration

381
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: of the beach but in his home, so he had

382
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: loads of sand brought into his living room and dumped

383
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: in his living room, and he would walk from his bed,

384
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: which he struggled to get out of, which anybody who

385
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: knows anything about depression, people that really struggle with depression,

386
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: can have can can find it impossible to get out

387
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: of bed. Now that task alone. I've read about people

388
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: other than going to the restroom, not getting out of

389
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: the bed and not getting out of their bedroom for

390
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: months on end. Some of them very successful, some of

391
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: them are very famous for that matter. And Stephen Page

392
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: was connecting with this struggle for sanity, for stability, and

393
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: it meant something to him that Brian Wilson had all

394
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: so struggled in this way. So he was living in

395
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: his parents' basement, literally living in his parents' basement in Toronto,

396
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: and he had the band which they had named on

397
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: the when they're coming up with names, they thought it

398
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: would be cool when they were when they were in town,

399
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: the sign would say coming tonight bare Naked Ladies or

400
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: bare Naked Ladies Tonight, which is where that name came from.

401
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: So Stephen Page was only nineteen struggling with his own

402
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: mental health issues and begins a deep dive into Brian

403
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Wilson and what Brian Wilson was going through. And he

404
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: wanted people who wanted other people to find solace in

405
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: the Brian Wilson story. And this is some would argue

406
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: the greatest American songwriter of all time, certainly one of

407
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: the greatest American songwriters of all time, one of, if

408
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: not the most influential American songwriter in pop culture. You know,

409
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: sixty five years later that's still true. And so he

410
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: wrote that tribute to him, and he lived in fear

411
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: how Brian Wilson would take it. Would he think he

412
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: was taunting him, or making fun of him, or insulting him.

413
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: And Brian Wilson was apparently moved to tears and came

414
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: to their concert and they brought him up on stage.

415
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: So I want you to imagine this moment gives me

416
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: chose to think about it. If you've written a tribute

417
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: to your favorite artist, and you've attempted very delicately, because

418
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: it's not something you do easily in the middle of

419
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: a hit song. You've attempted to address the difficulty of

420
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: mental health that he suffered from, that you yourself have

421
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: suffered from, without being over the top or kitschy or saccer,

422
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: and you want to bring attention to this. And he

423
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: comes up on stage with you and sings that song.

424
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how you talk moment in your life.

425
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how you put that. I don't know

426
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: where in your memory palace you put that moment, because

427
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: that ninety nine times out of one hundred, that doesn't

428
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: turn out that way. And he's hurt, insulted, angry, litigious,

429
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: who knows? And here is this moment that you everything

430
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: you wanted tribute to Brian Wilson and to try Brian

431
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: Wilson's struggle all brought to bear on the stage and

432
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: Brian Wilson joins in because he gets the spirit of

433
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Woo boy, that's strong right there. I mean,

434
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: that is uh, that's deep, that is very very deep.

435
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: We went looking for a mental health partner several years ago.

436
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: I wanted somebody, because I kept getting messages from listeners

437
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: asking for where they could get help mental health help

438
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: often for them, probably more often because people aren't People

439
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: are a little uncomfortable to ask for themselves. But when

440
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: it comes to your teenager, there all hands on deck.

441
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Hey guys, they'll blow a siren. Can somebody help me?

442
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: Because with mental health, with teenagers particularly, you worry about suicide.

443
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: And so I kept getting this request, and so I

444
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: would ask around and I couldn't find anybody, and so

445
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: Robert Reese. I put Robert rees one of our top

446
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: sellers on the issue of finding someone, and I put

447
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: the word out and we got emails, and he would

448
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: go and meet with them and say, you know, we

449
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: expect you to do this, this, and this, and we

450
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: expect to get great results. We expect to get great

451
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: feedback from our listeners when we do them. It's a

452
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: husband wife team and it's a full practice. I don't know,

453
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: they probably have twenty five thirty people there now.

454
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 6: But.

455
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: There were practices of just one person, and I'm sure

456
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: they were all very good, but they couldn't handle the

457
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: amount of referrals we were going to be sending. And

458
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: we have been very very happy with our partnership with

459
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: Family Psychiatry of the Woodlands. But whether you use them

460
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: or someone else, I have changed my opinion in fifty

461
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: four years. If you struggle with mental health, that doesn't

462
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: mean you should be the county judge because you may

463
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,000
