on paper towel, so you didn't try to get them
back or anything? Well, come on, now you can tell me. Oh, hell,

grocery sack ahead, and I got a dozen or so
of the most impressive ones. And then I stopped at
the store for a few things. I stuck them turns
in the fridge so they'd stiffen up. Of mine, melted
down some of them chocolate bars, stuck some peanuts on
them things and layered on the melted chocolate. Then I
took some baby ruth bars, carefully opened the rappers, tuck
(14:23):
the candy out, put the turns in, stuck them in
a dish by the gate, and said take one only please.
Speaker 1 (14:28):

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Old water bottles. Interesting, let's see if only what was that?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
Yeah, so that's what They're not even in the top five.
Most of that plastic is not recyclable. Oh man, but
I do have a dress shirt that's made out of
water bottles. That I mean not you know, it's it
was recycled into material and it won't stain.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
It's a wonderful.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I thought those were your nipples. No, it's cold in here.
Speaker 13 (27:14):
A right.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Of visual. You had to work or something on your

John can just go next door and get him some
Perte County peanuts. We'll send yours down to your Pensacola buddy.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I appreciate it, sir.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You got it all right. Here's a plan is your
news right now? I remembering a Rayford segment on the
other side, and then a brand new script we had
out in the playhouse.
Speaker 17 (29:19):
Let's kick it off at John boyn Billy show for
another day. I think I told you about riding the
train from Washington. Actually were rode up there on the
train rode back. The train was late, two hours both ways,
and it comes through some of the poorest parts of
eastern North Carolina. Looks like the rust belt. Somebody closed
and rusting, boarded up buildings and factories, lots of little
(29:41):
stores with signs in Spanish on them, catering to those
who've come in to do the manual labor jobs that
the locals won't do, and moving into the more prosperous
parts of the state around research and development areas, surrounded
by colleges or importing people to fill these high tech jobs.
You see the locals living on the door because they
quit school pool as soon as they got old enough
(30:01):
to work in the local factory. And the factory closed
because there are people in other countries, third world countries
who will do the work they did for much less.
And then the plant closes and the chickens come home
to roost. The textile mills and not only closed down,
but in our area the big mill buildings being torn down.
Now the furniture factories are closing layoffs, leaving the furniture
(30:23):
towns and its workers with a tough task of economic reinvention.
One nearby, well known in the furniture business, says it
will close one of its plants and lay off about
seven hundred and seventy people by August. Plant closings and
cutbacks over the last five years have toppled the major
pillars supporting this town's economy. Where there were once more
(30:44):
than a dozen big furniture factories, the area now has one.
Then we see the paragraph that makes this story so pathetic.
Those workers who dropped out of high school to work
in the furniture factories, a condition, as the story confirms,
mimicked and care Caroline of textile towns. People who can
make a living working there with no other skills and
(31:04):
the labor intensive jobs. They start a family established credit
into the town and there they are owing their souls
to the man and his factory in the company's stores,
the legend goes, so the chickens come home to roost.
There's no roosting place, so says Robert d Rayfer, who
has lived among it, and others far more learned than I,
maybe even listening to the John Boy and Billy showing.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Good morning. There's a big show on the radio over
your Friday morning. We're in the playhouse Lesact.
Speaker 19 (32:01):

Old by the every same every year, you know, kids
showing up in the craziest get ups I ever did
see now and I was a young and you got
no sheet, went out as a ghost or maybe ty
kerchief on a stick and goes a hobo. I had
one kid this year showed up looking like some kind
of robodies as he's a transformer. Said he can turn
into the car, and sure enough he got down on
(12:05):
the ground there and folded himself up into a little
red hot ride. That is the dangedst thing I ever
did see?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
They go all out, don't they.
Speaker 13 (12:13):
I'll say, some of them go crazy with the makeup.
This one little gal getting toward the end of the night,
she come in dressed as the ugliest little witch I
ever did see.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I said, oh lord, you are but ugly.
Speaker 13 (12:26):
Who did your makeup?
Speaker 2 (12:27):

Speaker 13 (12:39):
Well, the first time in a long time. Some of
the local youngins got that tpe fever, and.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
That's not a very neighborly way to treat a senior citizen.
Did you get it cleaned up?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (12:49):
Yeah, it took a while, though. Putting all that back
on that little cardboard roll took nearly all day. You
saved it, John boy. Not all of us is rolling
in that big radio.
Speaker 14 (13:01):
Way.
Speaker 13 (13:02):
I look at it. I figured I gotten up the
last till late spring twenty twenty seventies.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What did the kids ever apologize to you? No, but
I did leave them a note on the gate, a
stern warning. Oh hell no, I just let him know
I face planning on coming back. I was running low
on paper towel, so you didn't try to get them
back or anything? Well, come on, now you can tell me. Oh, hell,
I guess it don't matter nothing. Now I got this
(13:27):
friend Pete Simmons who raises them, them big dogs with
the square heads. Right willer, sound right? Nerve you didn't
seek the dogs on them, did you?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well?
Speaker 13 (13:37):
I thought about it, but I had a better idea,
you know, And them dogs have a pretty impressive how
am I gonna say this on the radio, A pretty
good sized bio movement a.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So you dug a big pit trap and filled it
with dog duty for him to fall in.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Look you want to keep guessing or would you like
me just so?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I'm just getting into the story. Please go on.
Speaker 13 (14:00):
Well, I went over to pizza and the big old
grocery sack ahead, and I got a dozen or so
of the most impressive ones. And then I stopped at
the store for a few things. I stuck them turns
in the fridge so they'd stiffen up. Of mine, melted
down some of them chocolate bars, stuck some peanuts on
them things and layered on the melted chocolate. Then I
took some baby ruth bars, carefully opened the rappers, tuck
(14:23):
the candy out, put the turns in, stuck them in
a dish by the gate, and said take one only please.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well that is both cruel and cool.
Speaker 13 (14:33):
I didn't put it out there until after the little
ones had made their run?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Did it work?
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Well, I guess so. Unfortunately had come back kind of
bait me in behind end. How so, well, I'm gonna

Speaker 4 (28:34):
I appreciate it, sir.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You got it all right. Here's a plan is your
news right now? I remembering a Rayford segment on the
other side, and then a brand new script we had
out in the playhouse.
Speaker 17 (29:19):
Let's kick it off at John boyn Billy show for
another day. I think I told you about riding the
train from Washington. Actually were rode up there on the
train rode back. The train was late, two hours both ways,
and it comes through some of the poorest parts of
eastern North Carolina. Looks like the rust belt. Somebody closed
and rusting, boarded up buildings and factories, lots of little
(29:41):
stores with signs in Spanish on them, catering to those
who've come in to do the manual labor jobs that
the locals won't do, and moving into the more prosperous
parts of the state around research and development areas, surrounded
by colleges or importing people to fill these high tech jobs.
You see the locals living on the door because they
quit school pool as soon as they got old enough
(30:01):
to work in the local factory. And the factory closed
because there are people in other countries, third world countries
who will do the work they did for much less.
And then the plant closes and the chickens come home
to roost. The textile mills and not only closed down,
but in our area the big mill buildings being torn down.
Now the furniture factories are closing layoffs, leaving the furniture
(30:23):
towns and its workers with a tough task of economic reinvention.
One nearby, well known in the furniture business, says it
will close one of its plants and lay off about
seven hundred and seventy people by August. Plant closings and
cutbacks over the last five years have toppled the major
pillars supporting this town's economy. Where there were once more
(30:44):
than a dozen big furniture factories, the area now has one.
Then we see the paragraph that makes this story so pathetic.
Those workers who dropped out of high school to work
in the furniture factories, a condition, as the story confirms,
mimicked and care Caroline of textile towns. People who can
make a living working there with no other skills and
(31:04):
the labor intensive jobs. They start a family established credit
into the town and there they are owing their souls
to the man and his factory in the company's stores,
the legend goes, so the chickens come home to roost.
There's no roosting place, so says Robert d Rayfer, who
has lived among it, and others far more learned than I,
maybe even listening to the John Boy and Billy showing.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Good morning. There's a big show on the radio over
your Friday morning. We're in the playhouse Lesact.
Speaker 19 (32:01):

Speaker 13 (33:45):
Then I hail a cab, but I forget my briefcase
in the back seat with my wallet in it.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Call the cab company and check the lost and found
no problem.
Speaker 13 (33:54):

wife in bed with Waldo or Polleny.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
