1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is on the air. Well, I've never 3 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: been to therapy. I don't need to. I have a 4 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: radio show, and so I guess some of these people 5 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: are trying to help me work through this confusion. I 6 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: was puzzled over my uncle Preston saying that about Glenn Campbell, 7 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: who doesn't like Glenn Campbell? Why why could you? How 8 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: could you be mad at Glenn Campbell? And Greg and 9 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Manville writes, Glenn Campbell and your uncle Preston. I remember 10 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: watching a music awards show on TV back in the seventies. 11 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell was presenting the award which Willie Nelson ended 12 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: up winning. Glenn says something to the effect, well, we 13 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: all know that Willie wouldn't cross the street to watch 14 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: a piss hnt pull a veil of hay, but we 15 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: congratulate him and accept the award for him. Maybe that 16 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: was it. I don't know. I'm puzzled to this day. 17 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: My uncle Preston died too young for me to be 18 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: able to ask him. Of course, if he lived past 19 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: fifty six and I'd gone on to ask him, you know, 20 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: twenty five years later, Uncle Preston, Remember when you said 21 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: you wouldn't cross the street to watch Glenn Campbell and 22 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: I said, but he's got rying Stone Cowboy And you 23 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: said that was a stupid song, and I thought it 24 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: was the coolest thing. How come you to say that? 25 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: And he might go, I didn't say that, or did 26 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: I say that? I don't know, Or maybe he'd tell 27 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: a story. You know, Glenn Campbell was at the bars 28 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: at one time and he made a stupid comment. Or 29 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell, I don't know. The mystery of Whync Ressell 30 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: didn't care for Glenn Campbell might haunt me till my 31 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: dying days.

What was the first celebrity 57 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: death that felt like part of your childhood had slipped away? 58 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Elvis was? It wasn't Metthuselam. I'm not that old, shut up. 59 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: Man. 60 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. See, I don't know how much of 61 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Elvis's death I internalized because everybody around me was so devastated. 62 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: So I don't know that I was authentically that sad 63 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: as opposed to being sad because it was contagious. Wow, 64 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: let's see, that would have been August sixteenth of seventy seven, 65 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: if memory serves August sixteenth of seventy seven. I was 66 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: a couple of months short of my seventh birthday, so 67 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: I was six years old. I would love to say 68 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: that's today, but most of my Elvis is post his death. Uh, conversations, documentaries, 69 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: watching things, listening to things, conversations with my parents, conversation 70 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: with my grandparents. I think folks a little older than 71 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: me would say, Elvis, who was yours? Oh, yours was 72 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: John Ritter. I gotta think on who mine was. I 73 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: gotta give that some thought. Seven one three nine nine 74 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: nine one thousand will take your costs to that moment. 75 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Seven to one, three nine one thousand. You got me 76 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: thinking very very hard on this one, very very hard. 77 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: I don't know I might have to think on this. 78 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: It was on this day, nineteen fifty eight, that Billboard 79 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: magazine combined its unwieldy system of five separate cells, jukebox 80 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: and DJ charts to make one master chart, which came 81 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: to be known as the Billboard Hot One hundred. The 82 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: first number one song on the New Billboard Hot one 83 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: hundred that combined sales, jukebox and DJ charts was Ricky 84 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: Nelson's Poor Little Fool. The first thing that comes to 85 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: mind on that is how much room for cheating there was, 86 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: because how do you get jukebox numbers? Jukebox numbers? These 87 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: weren't Internet connected jukeboxes. The juke boxes were reported and 88 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: if you think about it, I think it was the 89 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: Star label that George Jones was on out of Beaumont 90 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: and then he and then he moved to Houston to 91 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: be on it. If you think about the mafia ownership 92 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: of the jukeboxes and the mafia ownership of record labels, 93 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: and the mafia ownership of Frank Sinatra and some others. 94 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: Who was the guy that was shot in his car? 95 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: And everybody knows he was murdered, but they pretended he wasn't. 96 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: Wasn't Bobby Darren? Who was the guy? Uh shoot? I 97 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: can't remember? But my point is, I mean even the 98 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: DJ charts were open to uh were open to fraud 99 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: because you had who was the old boy Dick Clark? 100 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: Remember he got busted for Paola, but he managed to 101 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: get away and Alan what's his name got nailed for it? 102 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: What was his name, Alan Freed, He got nailed for it. 103 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: So you realize that, especially in those days, the ability anyway, 104 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: all right, who was that person celebrity death who you 105 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: felt like your childhood was slipping away?

And as Brad was looking 238 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: at something on the shelf to buy because some project 239 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: he's working at home, Chris walked up behind him. Chris 240 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: was a very good vocalist in our in our youth choir, 241 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: he would often have solos. He was really good. I 242 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: never got a solo. I was placed in the very 243 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: back so nobody could hear me, because I can't carry 244 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: a tune in a bucket. But my brother put his 245 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,239 Speaker 1: arms around Brad, like to bear hug him, and so 246 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: that Brad couldn't turn and see who it was. And 247 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: he started singing that song there are places we remember 248 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: people in our lives, these sorts of things. And Brad said, 249 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: you gotta understand, Brad, it's like Gomer Pyle. 250 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: He is. 251 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: He is just golle Shocks Southern Baptist youth minister, song minister. 252 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: And Brad said, bub, I don't know who this is. 253 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: Everybody was bub, bub, I don't know who is this? 254 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: Chris Berry and Chris leved downey it is and he said, 255 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: how come you didn't finish the song with me, Brad, 256 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: because Brad is a great vocalist. And he said, bub, 257 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: you ought to know I only know gospel music. I 258 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: just I'm not good with that kind of secular music. 259 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: And so Chris started into it again. He said, join in, Brad, 260 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: this is a great song, one of my favorites. Brad said, 261 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that song. Bub So when my brother passed, 262 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: I was at the hospital and we didn't think my 263 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: dad was gonna make it to the weekend. Forgive me, 264 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: I've told the show this story on the air before, 265 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: but we didn't think my dad was gonna make it 266 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: to the weekend. And so I'm up to the hospital 267 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: making arrangements and trying to get the best care in 268 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Beaumont for my dad when this whole thing, this was 269 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: actually I had to rush to see my dad. We 270 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: didn't want him to get the news if my brother 271 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: had died, because that was gonna push him over it. 272 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: And so I'm there the very next day. Chris died 273 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday. It's Wednesday evening, and I told my 274 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: mom mis paniced, and she said, can you handle the funeral? 275 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: I said, I got it. You just take care of dad. 276 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: I got this. So I'm sitting in the lobby at 277 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: the hospital and I'm calling Brad. You're gonna preach it. 278 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna sing, We're gonna do it at clay Bars 279 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: and Orange.

That's what Chris would want. And about five 282 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: minutes later he called me back. He said, bub I 283 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: get something's on my heart. There's a song that Chris 284 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: sang to me and this is some of the words 285 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: I remember. And I said, yeah, that's of course I 286 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: know the song. And he said, what do you think. 287 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: I just read the lyrics to it and it's not 288 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: a dirty song or anything, and what would you think? 289 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: And I said, that's great? And so that was song 290 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: at my brother's wedding and my brother's wedding, my brother's funeral. Anyway, 291 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: who was that celebrity who when he passed you felt 292 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: like a piece of your childhood had died? Who was 293 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: that first celebrity you remember that? Being JT? 294 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 3: You're up, Hey, Michael, look at here? Man? 295 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 5: How can you talk about a celebrity that we lost 296 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 5: with all talking about r lee Ermy man, he was 297 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 5: tougher than Hobo crap, right, I son idolized that guy. 298 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was, and what a character in real life 299 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: as well as on the screen. But I think you'd 300 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: have to be a lot younger for him to have 301 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: represented your childhood. There are people that they die that 302 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: you're bummed but you'd have to be pretty young for 303 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: that to be your childhood, Michael, you're up. 304 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Bob Barker when he died after many many mornings 305 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: watching the Prices, right, yeah, he passed away. 306 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you bring him up, Michael, because 307 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: when I would get dropped off at my grandmother's house 308 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: when my mom was going into town and running errands, 309 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: my grandmother religiously watched prices, right, the Price. It was 310 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: just it was just called the Price, and she loved 311 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: Bob Barker. Then you find out he's bonking all the 312 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: girls on there. That's not what got him in trouble. 313 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: Banking the girls didn't get him in trouble. Got him 314 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: in trouble was trying to the girls that didn't want 315 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: to bok him. And that was the one that I 316 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: will always remember of Bob Barker. That goofy microphone, the long, 317 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: bulbous microphone that every Marvin Gay and Bob Barker speaking 318 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: into that microphone I'll always think of. And then the 319 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: spae and Newter thing at the end, which I always 320 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: thought was so stupid. Rooster, who was that for you? 321 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: Well, I'm a late rival to this. I didn't understand. 322 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 2: But my person is Russell and Ball and it certainly 323 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: not when I was a child, but made a big 324 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: difference in my life, and I think it allies to 325 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: a lot of people in this country. 326 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: And you know what, Yes, yes he is, but you 327 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: know and I will not strike that answer, even though 328 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: it doesn't fit at least for your generation or mine. 329 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: You'd have to be a lot younger for that to 330 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: be the case. But I will say this will never 331 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: strike the rustling baw answer. But I have often said 332 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: that if we do not carry the torch, that Rush 333 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: passed and his work was futile. Jim Collins wrote a 334 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: book called Good to Great, and when he was studying 335 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: great companies, he said, if your company does not withstand 336 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: the absence the exit of the great charismatic leader, then 337 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: your company did not have a great culture. And so 338 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: he took Leiahcoca out of his list of great leaders 339 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: because when Ayacoca left Chrysler, Chrysler went into a crash, 340 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: and that meant that he had not built a culture. 341 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: It was just a cult, and that was the big difference. 342 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: So I think that we should consider this our call 343 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: to action to take everything Rush taught us, and there's 344 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: literally not a day that goes by that I don't 345 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: think to myself. You know, Rush made the point about this, 346 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: and I will quote that, and that's things I learned 347 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: from him. That's how it's supposed to be ken. You're 348 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: on the Michael Berry Show. What say you, sir. 349 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: John Lennon? 350 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 6: Mate? 351 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: You are not the first person to say that I 352 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: had about was Lennon eighty Ramon? Is that right? I 353 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: think eighty one eighty? 354 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: Right? 355 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: Yeah?

Before we get back to the calls, 379 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: David Malsby's today's champion of Camp Hope. He says, this 380 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: past Saturday, the Gulf Coast Wood Turners Association enjoyed a 381 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: great afternoon making writing pins with the combat veterans at 382 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: Camp Hope. Thank you to the Golf Coast went Wood 383 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: Burnt Wood Turners Association for donating their tools and expertise. 384 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: So one of their guiding principles on their website is 385 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: to provide guidance and training on wood turning to the community. 386 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: Ramon you would like this. Do you know what wood 387 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: turning is? I had to look it up. Wood turning 388 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: is a woodworking craft where a piece of wood is 389 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: shaped into a desired form by using handheld tools while 390 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: the wood is rotated on a lathe. The lathe, a 391 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: machine that spins the wood, is central to the process. 392 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: Wood Turners use various tools to cut, shape and refine 393 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: the wood as it spins, creating symmetrical forms around the 394 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: axis of rotation. It allows the transformation of raw wood 395 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: into functional and artistic objects like bowls, pins, and tool handles. 396 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 1: To decorate too, decorative pieces like vases or vases if 397 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: you like sculptures and ornaments, requires a combination of skill, patients, 398 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: and understanding of wood properties and tool techniques. Ramon, you 399 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: would love this. 400 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 3: Well. 401 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: Thank you to the Gulf Coast Wood Turners Association. I 402 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: hope we have recruited for you more wood turners for 403 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: the Wood Turners Association because I'm grateful to you for 404 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: coming out and providing that experience to our veterans at 405 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: Camp Hope. I'm gonna go, Tim, Robin, Brandon, Mack and 406 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: Carl if you could be quick and get right to it. 407 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: Who was that celebrity who when they passed you felt 408 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: like that was the beginning of the end of your childhood, 409 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: even if you were much older. Who was the first 410 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: person you remember that being the case? For Tim, you're up, Hey, Michael, 411 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: good morning. 412 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: For me, it was Walter Payton, big football fan, and 413 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: I was eighteen when he passed, and I. 414 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 3: Was yeah, I was quite sad to see him pass. 415 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: There's a great I'm glad he got to be on 416 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: that eighty five team. He wasn't a major contributor, but 417 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad he got a ring before it was all over. 418 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: There's a great picture of Sweetness and the Tyler Rose 419 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: together the two thirty four's. I could probably find it 420 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: if I looked it up, but I just love that photo. Ramon, 421 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm having trouble pulling up the calls. Can you pull 422 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: up Robin for me? Robin, you're on the Michael Berry Show. 423 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: Go ahead, sweetheart, good morning.

Yeah, that was only 428 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: a few years ago. We did a big deal on him, 429 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: and I was surprised. It was important to me so 430 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: I didn't care if anybody else liked it. I was 431 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: surprised how many people sent notes about that because they 432 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: they were happy with that. Brandon Europe, Yes. 433 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 6: Sir, Michael, good morning. Tudos to Robin for Bonanza.

I think for us 440 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: my generation that you sound like you're about my age. 441 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: That was such a pivotal, influential, seminal moment for us, 442 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: that the death first of Jackie Gleeson, and then especially 443 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds dying because he was in so many movies 444 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: in our area, the Longest Yard being the most underrated 445 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: of all the movies he ever met. That's just a 446 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: great movie. That's scene at the end where they want 447 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: to shoot him. They want the guard to shoot him. 448 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: The warden wants the guard to shoot him, and he's 449 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: going to pick up the football and he picks it 450 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: up and turns around, and you realize, my goodness, he 451 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: should have never suggested that. Mac, you're up? 452 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: Who is it for you? 453 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 2: Good morning? 454 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 6: Michael. Mine also is a sports figure. 455 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: I grew up a big fan of Roger Merris. 456 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Roger Maris the home run king. Yep, that's a good 457 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: one sixty one home runs. 458 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 2: Carl you're up, John Wayne. 459 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: Is the number one most answered today. I guess that 460 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: says something more about the age of folks calling in 461 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: than anything else. But that's interesting, Paul, you're up. Who's yours? 462 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: Hey, I came in late, so I don't let your 463 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 2: topic it call it to Razio about not having gone 464 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: to shop class. 465 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: That I didn't go to shop class. 466 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: You must not have, dude. 467 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: I was an absolute nerd. I was in our calculus 468 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: class met in the shop next to where they did 469 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: body shop, and it was in a sheet metal building, 470 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: and we needed more classroom space at our school, and 471 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: so they took some of the shop space and made 472 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: it our calculus class. That didn't make it quiet, though, 473 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: so Philip Welch, who I adored, who taught me trig 474 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: calculus and algebra two. And if there had been more classes, 475 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: I would have taken them because, oh you know what, 476 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: he might have taught me geometry to I loved that man, 477 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: and anyway, but he would be trying to teach us calculus, 478 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: which is not easy, and they'd be just across the 479 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: little plywood or sheet rock wall they had assembled. They 480 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: hadn't even roughed in the wall. It was just it 481 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: was just the wood on our side from the sheet 482 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: rock on their side, and they'd get to grind in 483 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: a way, and we were trying to we were trying 484 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: to concentrate, and we couldn't. But no, I was not 485 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: a shop guy. In fact, it's why I don't have 486 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: any practical knowledge, because I was a complete and utter nerd. John, 487 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: you're up, Hey, Michael, great show. 488 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 4: Hey. 489 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: You might not be old enough to remember him, but 490 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: as a young. 491 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 6: Man I loved listening to Carl Sagan and he was 492 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 6: a great astrophysicist. 493 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: Sure, and Michael. When he died, I knew all of 494 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: us were going to die someday. I thought, he's just 495 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: the smartest man. 496 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 4: In the world. 497 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: And if he can die, if Sagan can die, we 498 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: can all die. That's a good one.
