This is an IHeart podcast.

It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Vary show is on the air.

It's Charlie from Blackberry Smoke.

I can feel a good one coming on.

It's the Michael Barry show.

I realize that people come to the show with expectations that turn into demands.

Maybe you want to talk about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

I told you two days ago, we were going to talk about it Wednesday evening,

and it was the only thing we were going to do for the entirety of the show.

I told you yesterday.

I was going to do it all morning and all evening.

But for my own mental health, I've got to move on.

We will come back on with developments.

During the top and bottom of the hour, you will find news developments from our news departments across the country.

But I've got to, we've got to be strong, and we've got to be the rock for other people around us.

We have paid tribute to Charlie, which I think is the most important.

Law enforcement will do their job, the system will do do their job the president will do his job

but our job is to continue to move on keep the trains running keep the kids fed

keep educating them keep treating the ill keep building things and making things and fixing things

and using our talents for good.
