Speaker 7 (05:38):
Like?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Good morning? The Big Show is on the radio. Imagine
somebody thinks that says we're not good spokespeople. Never well,
well that happened one time, believe it or not. No,
and uh I didn't try to respond or didn't turn
it over to you, but we brought in a professional.
Yeah yeah, yeah, about what does that say about us?

(06:03):
Maybe we're not that good as plays? All right, we'll
good looking forward to revisiting history that was back when
we weren't very good. Let's be honest. Now that we
that we made it very good, hey can look back
and laugh at ourselves. Uh so a letter from last month,
is that what you're saying? Order the Big Show was

(06:42):
on the radio following the saga of Jan Holly.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Let's fine to say, oh boy, oh all right, well

(07:14):
this letter, I know, will they listen or not? Not?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Really? More like a business, they're familiar with some of
our work, Let's put it that way. As from Jan
Holly Advertising Productions Incorporated. Guys, I'm sure you are busy
signing autographs and such but when we pay one hundred
sixty dollars in talent, we expect one hundred and sixty

(07:39):
dollars worth of talent. The read that you put on
the king Ford commercial for Rock one ozh three in Columbus,
Georgia sucks. We want the commercial redone free of charge,
and this time we want you to do it with

(07:59):
some feeling, some talent, some seal, some meaning. We want
you to sell our sale, not merely read the copy
quick as you can so that you can get on
to the next one. We expect you to earn the
high bucks you charge. I don't mind paying top dollar
for talent as long as I get top talent for

(08:22):
the dollar. And closed is a cassette of your commercial
after we doctored it up, along with the original script.
Please redo the commercial and send it back down to
Rock one oh three Columbus, Georgia. If you need to
discuss it with me, you can reach me, sincerely, Jan W. Holly.

(08:46):
So well, when we got a cassette and we listened
to it and put each other like we didn't think
it sped that bad, I mean, you know, talking about Oh,
just don't even let me start saying because it's just
not my air of expertise and Bill eve one, so
let's bring in mister Taylor from our public relations department.

Speaker 10 (09:07):
Good morning there, John boy, morning Billy, and I might
be a wasting my time on this, and but good
morning to you Jan. Once again this morning, I've seen
something I ain't never seen before, A neat type written
business communication on professional letterhead that uses the word sucks.

(09:34):
I mean, I know them too, mean boys, Beavis and
butt heead run around.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Saying it all the time.

Speaker 10 (09:39):
I just ain't never run into it in a business
letter before. Now, Jan, I've heard the commercial, and I
don't get me wrong, I wouldn't start picking out my
formal wear for the advertising the Lords yet, but this
word sucks seemed like a kindly harsh way to put it.

(10:00):
I mean, these fellas has done hundreds of commercials over
the years, and I personally have heard some that sucked
a whole lot worse than out Yes, sir ahhle Lord,
you know I got to quit using that word. My
ain't bee would warm up the sea to my breeches
if she heard me talking like that. Anyway, Jan, sounds

(10:21):
to me like they did pretty much what you wrote
down here got them car doors of slamming and the
bad to the bone song, and we got in all
them little pearls you wrote like yes, friends and neighbors
and king means business and a good deal and a
good deal.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
More.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
May I say you really dumped a hole bucket of
creativity into this, And yes, ma'am, you did. As far
as the delivery. Well, see this here is the John
Boy and Billie Show. I don't know if you've ever
heard it before, but well, let me just say, if
you ask the jackass to sing, it ain't likely to

(11:03):
come out of sounding like the latest chart topping smash
from that boy Hootie and his Blowfish. This part where
you say I'm sure you're busy signing autographs and such,
I believe I sense just a tad of resentment, though,
jan I want you to know.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I'm gonna get to the bottom of.

Speaker 10 (11:23):
This here controverse, and if I find out that this
here commercial really does well, where's that word again, suck?

Speaker 4 (11:32):
We'll make it right.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Until then.

Speaker 10 (11:35):
Well, like that smart Aleiki Feller on Saturday Night Live
says it's called a Dale Carnegie course, look into it.
And before I leave, let me say as Claire, as
I know how that we love the folks over there
at king Ford Plum to death.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
We do.

Speaker 10 (11:54):
They some of the finest folks in the entire state
of Georgia. In fact, if you're gonna buy you a car,
I can't think of a better place on God's.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Green Earth where I'd rather go to do it.

Speaker 10 (12:05):
If the manager is here right now, I reckon Jackie
would probably run over to him and kiss him square
on the mouth. In fact, I'd be tempted to give
him a little peck on the job myself. And Jane,
I want you to know, if you was here, you
could give me a big old kiss too, only not
on the mouth. If you get my dread, I thank

(12:26):
you for your time. John Boy and Benny y'all lack
like he got some smarts.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Good On to the Big Shows on the radio. Following
the saga of Jan Holly. On this edition of The
Big Show, when we try to take the spotlight off
of ourselves an honor and somewhat you, or at least
if we can get a laugh out of you, follow up,
wrap it up next, Good Morning the Big Show.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
It's on the radio.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
After Andy Taylor's visit. I remember we went back to
wrap up this whole, this whole thing, but speaking looking
good ship up, uh gay here, I got a letter
here listening to this to John Boy, guys checks for
Holly Meers commercials, great jobs, super award winning You're unbelievable. Whoever,

(13:45):
Just in case you read this on the air, you know,
after our little stuff we got from Georgia about our
commercial being really bad and the guy wanting us to
do it over, here's here's another fact related to that.
Dear John Boy Billy, I live in uh Columbus, Georgia,
and I just wanted to let you know you shouldn't
worry in any way about King Ford's radio ad you did.

(14:08):
I don't know why they're complaining. Compared to their TV commercials,
the one you did should receive an award. Oh well, there,
TV spots show a fat, older guy wearing nothing but
overalls a hunting cap, and he calls himself Bubba, and
that's what she's comparing you to. In fact, you are

(14:29):
the first ad that uses someone else's voice besides Bubba.

Speaker 10 (14:33):
First one to use something besides a big, fat, red
nicky in overalls.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Maybe Bubba is hapering off. Any want to just make
it a big hit. Maybe Bubba is jealous of you. Anyway,
I wanted to let you know that I didn't think
it sucked. Columbus listener, Amy Houston, all right, all right, ps.
King Ford is in Valley, Alabama, out of glumbwhere we
should follow up letter to that one A letter follow
pos here. Dear Sirs, John, Boy and Billy, we think

(14:59):
your show is great. We like how you tell it
like it is you too, Robert D. Rayford, So we
thought we would let you know that Jen Holly is
not a lady. It is a man. And also we
got you some mugshots of him. He is better known
as Bubba. He does TV commercials for king Ford in Valley, Alabama.
You can tell by the pictures he is not a
ladies man, but boy does he think he is. He

(15:19):
drives a Ford Bronco with more Leroy pkgs than you
could find in California or Mexico. He is about fifty
years old and thinks he is twenty five or thirty.
He put dual exhausts on the Bronco thinking it sounds good.
It sounds like a pulpwood truck.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I know.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Hen and King, owner of the dealership feels sorry for
him and lets him do commercials. Jeezns.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
He can tell by looking.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
At the pictures he won't be doing any Calvin Klein underwear. Sincerely, Jr.
And Jimmy. All right, and yeah they included pictures of
Bubba all so we see him. So Jane Holly is
actually Bubba the one we replaced today is solved.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
All right, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Now it all makes sense and we don't suck. You

(16:37):
wanted the Big shows on the radio back looking at
letters and email as we turn the microphones towards you
pick so listeners as we speak until you through the radio.

Speaker 9 (16:45):
That's not just anybody saying that that's our split turn.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Take me back.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Listen this email we got from the Big Show dot com.
All right, I said this is got to quit listening
because he never was able to get through this starts off.
I know I emailed you guys saying I'm not listening
to the Big Show anymore, but I can't help what
others listen to. While I was at work, there were
some guys who had their radio to your show. There
was a current event. Quiz Psycho Joe was on thirty one.

(17:14):
He has been on your show numerous times, while I
haven't been on once. Let me put it this way,
I have called in ten times more than Psycho Joe
has even gotten through. What do I get for my
patience and loyalty to you all? Nothing? What do I
get for ten years of listening to your show? Nothing?
Man Cow was on another radio station in town, and
now he hadn't on anymore, But you guys still.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
Are playing the Man cowcard.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Listen to you all all those years and I couldn't
even get through just a talk. The only way you
could talk with me is if I knew anything about Mayberry.
I don't know anything about Mayberry except that I think
you fixed the phone so that Joe can get through.
As a matter of fact, I'm certain also I ever
wanted to do. We call into the show and say
hello and tell you how could you work? Oh? I

(18:02):
get it, throw under this bearskin rug and be tormented
by Dean mom. He says. I also feel you fix
the phone line so that little kids can get through.
I know you got the technology. I cannot begin to
tell you how badly you have repaid my loyalty towards

(18:24):
the Big Show. From your lack of response to previous emails,
it seems you don't care. Sincerely, Matthew, twenty two, Georgia.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
All right, how about we start calling him Psycho Matthew.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Pyes, I love that bit about the Indians.

Speaker 11 (18:38):
Like I told Johnny, I don't want to talk to
Psycho Joe.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I wish I did.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
Know.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
How have you heard Psycho Joe?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Well, you know, I asked him last time he was on,
he said redial and this guy says he tried ten
more times on Psycho Joe. I doubt it. Well, bless
his heart. Well, let me say you can't play Mayberry
is anyway we can make it up to Matthew. Somebody
teach me how to type. I'll write my email, but

(19:08):
I'm not worth it. How can you fix the phones
to get me? Mom? Good morning?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
You aw's a big show on the radio heading into file.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Ow.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Hey man, y'all, let me tell good stuff about Catherine
Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
We're sorry, sorry, says here.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Catherine Zeta Jones wasn't always a sex symbol, she claims it.
Right after she was born, she was so ugly her
mother referred to her as the frog. Well, Catherine reportedly
keeps her long locks looking luscious long's locks looking luscious
long locks looking luxious long locks leon by mashing whole

(19:54):
bananas directly into her hand. That's what Marcy must be doing.

Speaker 9 (19:58):
But she's not rinsing.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, Marcy has probably the worst haircut on the stats.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Something about marsh that's why she gets she's She's like Jackie.
You know, Jackie likes her Hello take the abuse a head.
Well anyway, so Catherine smashes bananas in her hair. She
also shampoos with beer to give it extra shine. Had

(20:27):

walk in there, smash them Nanner's on her head and
pour some beer over, you wouldn't be up.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Please.

Speaker 12 (20:38):
This is where I would normally say something, but I
can't today, sir.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Can we get the focus back on the listeners? This
is getting too scary for me.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
All right, Well, if y'all injured, what kind of beer
she uses? I'll cover that in a little bit, all right. First,
our most requesting bit in the last week or so
has been Cadberry and Ben right on the golf course
at our tournament. Well, relive that next. Well, anyway, so
Catherine smashes bananas in her hair. She also shampoos with

the brilliantly manicured greens and creamer Mountain Country Club as
we prepare to tea on at the John Boyn Belief celebrity.

Golf passion.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
And we're clear, I like the way you tell.

Yeah, it's so cool.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I can't believe I got Ben Right as my partner
in my very own celebrity golf tournament. What could be better?

Speaker 5 (22:48):
And I might say, I'm quite flatted of all the people.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
You know, Well, well, I'm after Carrot Top bailed out
on me. Oh yes, well, glad to pitch in and racing.
Fat Boy had a prior engagement. Mader Man was Ben

Yeah you had me at Hello, oh man.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
This show my appreciation. I got a special trait just

the goodness of my heart, I'm giving you my very
own Butler Cadbury as your own personal caddie.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
My goodness, how generous.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Of I can't help it. I figured you two englishers
that have a ball together talking about crown jewels, nim
beefeeders and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Hey, here comes.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Down, Hey Cadbury, man, this is being right.

Speaker 13 (23:35):
A part of my todd in this gentleman, ah, mister Wright,
indeed and honors. Uh I can't tell you how much
I enjoyed your book, Good Pounces in Bad Lives, humorous
and touching it once.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Thanks for the plug. John Boyce told me a great
deal about you, beg Pardons. Uh oh yes, the Little
League brawl, the drunken battle at the racetrack, the gator wrestling.
John Boyce filled me in on.

Speaker 13 (23:58):
All higher kind of him. But I assure you there's
nothing to fear, sir. Trouble tends to rear its ugly
head only when I'm talked into an adventure with sir
against my will. Since I'm assisting you, I foreseen no problem.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
All right, all right, don't get all talking on him.
Let's get out on the course before it gets too hot.
You know how delicate natured I am.

Speaker 13 (24:19):
Well, I must say, sir, you painted quite an unflattering
picture of me.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
The truth hurts big as.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Don't worry, Cadrio Bean, it's a golf course. What could happen?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Ah?

Speaker 13 (24:28):
Well, thank you for that vote of confidence, sir. Now,
if I can just find my ball washer, oh you rang,
I'd aven here sooner, but I was having my putter adjusted.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Now I know what they call it, the pro shop.
It's you, Yes, Darling.

Speaker 13 (24:43):
It's me Fill the Kraken, semi professional part time receptionist.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Oh you're back to wearing men's clothes. I see.

Speaker 13 (24:50):
The last time I saw you you were at the
bottom of a cross dressing catfight at Caroin's.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
Why you Oh, I hadn't heard that one.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Never mind, Hey, Johnny, Wannie h fair Willie, glad you
can make it. Uh? What is that doing here? Hello?
I can't carry these bags by myself.

Speaker 13 (25:08):
I'll gladly carry them all if it means that thing
is absent from these proceedings.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Excuse us, I'm mourning you Cadbury. Don't throw a fit
and ruin everything. You need to stop always thinking of
yourself first. I've tried so hard to set an example
for you. Don't get ignorant on me. You're right, of course, sir.
That's my boy.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I owe you a hug.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Now just ignore him and remember is there's just a
bunch of guys swinging the sticks, having fun for a
good cause.

Speaker 11 (25:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's what I always told mother, but she never understood.
Now you two shake hands and make friends. I promise
to be good.

Speaker 13 (25:45):
Isn't that enough?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Cadbury?

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Cadbury, Remember old boy Tis more noble to take the
high road, and when you're British no other road exists.

Speaker 13 (25:55):
Well you've shamed me, sir. You're quite right, mister McCracken.
Let bygones be bygones. Shake well, I'd rather have a
flow dance. But suit yourself.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
But here there, oh duh, like grasping a wet trout?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
What a grip?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Where were you? And I was in high school by fellows,
sho hats done, grab my bag and hem in my
nine art.

Speaker 13 (26:19):
I thought you'd never ask. Be still, my heart? Is
there a problem? I mean other than your weight, your
hairline and your tailor? Now that's what I mean. Must
every comment you make be some sort of veiled innu
window double ENTENDREI or catty remark?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Well, I guess it doesn't have to be good. I
could be a droll, boring, humorless eunuch like you. All Right,
nothings enough?

Speaker 13 (26:42):
Now?

Speaker 5 (26:42):
What is there a problem?

Speaker 13 (26:44):
Yes, that's a problem. I will not tolerate this Ninni's
verbal abuse. Will snook him? What kind of abuse will
you tolerate? You're not going a trunk full of fun
in the Mini Cooper? See what I mean? I will
not allow this pristine nature of this noble enterprise to
be soiled by your grotesque musings over your hideous lifestyle.
That mean, I'm not sure, but I think he's got
a poop poo diapers. Come, chubby, Let mommy have a

(27:04):
look by you, vile, unrelenting little cut a.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Snipe on god.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Oh Cadbury, No, you've got this coming, big point.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Man, This is so embarrassing.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Oh that's all right, It just proves my point.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
But what do you mean?

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Remember when I was talking about how a fair boob's
gonna get in the way of a good game of golf. Yeah,
this is what I was talking about.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
I can't hear what I should have guessed you'd kick
me that. And now the matrix Ali come on to
you ow to make shows on the radio, all right,
quick off us looking back at our listeners. Hey, y'all
remember the letter we got from the prisoner, the very
first prisoner letter. Yeah, it is actually a big show favorite.

(27:51):
You get to hear that next. Hang on. Every Olympic
dream starts with a first glide through Learn to Skate

(28:32):
big show on the radio.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's time nivin the old man bag.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
Letters.

Speaker 14 (28:39):
We get letters, We get your letters.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
However you try that out letters.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I love those letters.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
That's fine what you've got to say.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Oh boy, oh god, that Blendler. Dear John boydn Billy.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I'm riding from Jack Rutledge State Facility in Columbus, Georgia.
I just started listening to you when I got here
last year, and I must thank you for starting my
day off with a laugh. I'm serving time for felony shoplifting.
Here's some friendly advice. If you're over three hundred pounds,
don't try to be sneaky. I was up around three

(29:27):
point fifteen at the time, stealing car stereos from a
Walmart and Jonesboro. That sounds like a country song, yep.
I was about three fifteen stealing the car stios of
the wall martin.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Jones the country, I mean somebody anyway.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I had about ten of them in shopping bags and
snuck out through the garden section. When I got to
the truck, I thought it was home free. But while
I was loading them up, an employee came up and
asked to see my receipt. Of course, I'm not a liar,
so I told him. I told him I didn't have one.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
I didn't want a lot to him, I might have
got in trouble.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
He said, bring the radios and come with me. I said, okay,
but I need some help carrying them. Well. Being a
good employee, he agreed to help. So I loaded him
down with eight of the radios, and when he turned
to walk back, I dropped mine and took off. I
wish you could have seen the look on his face.

(30:29):
Of course I didn't stop there. I kept on shoplifting
and finally got caught and put on probation. I was
doing pretty good. I even gotten married in August of
ninety six, but I violated my probation three months later
and a judge sent us me to three years.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
So here I am.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Prison.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Isn't what I thought it would be.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Instead of guys lifting weights, there's guys using the colors
off em and m's as makeup. Well, So for all
those kids out there in Big Showland, stay out of
trouble unless you look good and candy shell colors. I'm
sending you an idea for a playhouse. Hope you can
use it. Give our best Rayford, and say hi to

(31:09):
John Prior and Mark Langley Cheeseburger and quotation prison nicknames.
So that's not his real name. That's good morning. The
Big Show is on the radio. Yes, we might call

(31:30):
some pants I had on yesterday. So eighties? What does
that mean that they were way out of style?

Speaker 9 (31:35):
I'm just guessing.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Okay, having seen the pants myself, I'm sure that's what
they meant.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
They're like parachute pants.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
They used to sell them in the service station parking
lots on the weekends, the service stations.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Where do you think you got them?

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I got some big deals. Philip Gas gets some pants.
It's a nice country. Game show hosts John Davidson. See
I thought he was actor. He's just known as a
game show host. Now, yeah, what did he do? John
Davison was a singer. Is a singer then an actor?
That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
He's one of the hosts of that.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, the game show hosts Davidson. Is that where we're
gonna end up? Oh no, you'll never get anything that good.

Speaker 4 (32:18):

got it worse than y'all. Homade letter number two form
our prisoner. All right, So that's a good way to do,
all right, hang out.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Good morning, to make shows on the radio.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's time.

Speaker 14 (33:58):
Oh we get letters, We get your letters.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I love those letters. What you got to say?

Speaker 7 (34:16):
Oh, already here we go.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Dear John boyn Billy, how are you boys doing? As
for me?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Well, not too good. As you can see from my
return address, I am once again a guest of the state.
Seems like no matter where I go, the police are
always showing up and ruining my day. This time, me
and my wife were having a little quote debate in
the liquor store parking lot when several officers showed up

(34:56):
wanting to mediate. Needless to say, I didn't appreciate the
intrue usion because I just about had this debate won.
I informed the officers that I had the situation well
in hand and that their assistance was not required. About
this time, Sherlock Holmes sprang the million dollar question, mister Newton,
have you been drinking? Now? These boys seemed a bit uptight,

(35:19):
so I figured maybe a little humor would ease the tension,
so I replied, all my life want to fight about it.
Apparently these boys weren't big show listeners, because they didn't
find this humorous one little bit. At this point, Sherlock
informed me that I was under arrest and instructing me
to place my hands on the car. You know me

(35:40):
in for a dime, In for a dollar, so I
decided to debate this issue as well. I asked what
I was being charged with. Sherlock replied, disorderly conduct. I
was sort of unprepared to debate on this issue, so
the best response I could come up with was disorderly conduct.
I'll show you some disorderly conduct, boy, and thus began

(36:01):
slambery too. I got off to a pretty good start,
but I should have known from the last time that
them some beaches wouldn't fight fair. It was just a
matter of time before the sticks Mason heavy flashlights came
into plate, dashing my hopes of a victory. After slambery too,

(36:21):
the officers were kind enough to give me a lift
to the hospital, where I spent the next six hours
getting patched up. At this point, I would like to
thank the nurse who brought me a plate of ribs
to eat while the doctor was waiting on me to
sober up.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Where's this hospital?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Really? He's got pretty good healthy, although it's pretty tricky
eating ribs with your hands cuffed together through the rails
of a hospital bed. Anyway, after about a month in jail,
I got my day in court. Even though I'm no
Perry Mason I felt confident that I could handle this
one by myself. I proceeded to explain to the judge that,

(37:06):
at the time of my unlawful arrest, that I was
simply exercising my right to freedom of speech as provided
to me by the Constitution of these great United States
of America, and therefore all charges should be dismissed. Well,
the judge pondered my argument for about ten seconds, then
inform me that the Constitution did indeed allow for freedom

(37:26):
of speech. However, this did not extend to slurge speech
in a public parking lot while holding an open bottle
of liquor. He then sent us me to one year.
But once again, I have learned a few things from
my experience, and they are One, if you try to
eat ribs while you are drunk and have your hands
cuffed together through the rails of a bed, you're gonna

(37:48):
get barbecue sauce all over your dang self and there's
no way to wipe it off. Two, if you are
highly intoxicated and need a ride, don't call your wife,
call a cab. And last, but not least, when debating
with police officers, always always wear a helmet. Well, I'm

(38:11):
going to close for now. Y'all do me a favor,
and next time you talk to Flair, tell him I'll
be getting out in September and could use a tag
team partner with his experience. Tell him, although there ain't
really any money in it, if you pick the right location,
you do get a pretty good sized crowd. Y'all.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Keep him straight up there, love you mean it.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Jeffrey Newton, the real mister excitement. Good morning to big

(39:09):
shows on the radio. Getting ready to head out in
the weekend, y'all be careful. We'll see your first, say
Monday morning. But first and go back to that broue.
You what, let's go back. If y'all over here, come
by and ask for Randy. Get out in the parking
lot as early as possible, right now, and here we go. Now, Jackie,

(39:32):
I'll be a neat in you here. It's so paranoid
coming to work in the morning. If somebody you know
is out there waiting in the park a lot, I mean, Randy, call.

Speaker 12 (39:40):
The cops, yes, because we've had crazy people.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
He's Randy.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
We had a guy, we.

Speaker 9 (39:46):
Had a guy who had escaped from prison here.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
You know, not everybody would go to those links to
come and visit the show.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
That man is I made her man?

Speaker 6 (39:56):
Yeah, but the problem is, I mean, we we're accommodating
to our listeners.

Speaker 9 (40:01):
We do love meeting people, but you know, not before
we come to.

Speaker 11 (40:05):
Work at five in the morning as a female.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
That's the problem. Loan.

Speaker 9 (40:10):
We pull in the.

Speaker 11 (40:10):
Parking lot and we're used to seeing, you know, the
same cars every morning.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Let Marsha speak for herself.

Speaker 11 (40:16):
But at five point thirty quarter of six in the
morning and you see I lights eyeglasses in a car
with fogged windows, well, sure, I'm gonna get out and
walk all the way down the sidewalk.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Talk about Tim Wilson.

Speaker 11 (40:29):
But what we have been told to do in this
building is to call the police. Well, we call Randy.
I just feel stupid, and I probably shouldn't because every
cop we know is going to come in here and
say call the police.

Speaker 9 (40:40):
They tell us this all the time.

Speaker 11 (40:42):
One day it's going to be someone crazy, and everybody
seems to think Randy's so mean. Will you people put
your wives and your girlfriends in our situation when you
come in a parking lot and you see a man, Well,
we got to do what we think is the best
thing to do, and it's by the time we call Randy,
we're panic. We're late for work because we've got to
hide down the street until he can figure out what

(41:03):
he wants to.

Speaker 9 (41:03):
And I hit the gas.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
I mean, I break all the laws getting here quick
because I'm worried about him.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
And this is you know, why don't y'all call me?

Speaker 11 (41:11):
We do, John Boy, get up.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Somebody's in the parking lot.

Speaker 9 (41:20):
Don't call me ready, says he.

Speaker 11 (41:23):
Look mean, we don't mean to be rude, but it's
a little frustrating.

Speaker 9 (41:32):
I understand.

Speaker 6 (41:32):
By the time I get here, stressed out, driving fast
and get in and rolling in the parking lot, I'm angry.
And so I get out and say, who are you?
What are you doing here? Well, no, you can't be here.
You got a call and set up. I mean, this
is a business. You can't just show up in the
parking lot and expect a walk in the studio.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Pulls up, slims and gets up and scurries over to
fro And to.

Speaker 11 (41:50):
Be honest with you, I like it because by then
I'm like, crap, it's tenttail. I'm late because I've been
hiding from somebody.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
I've got to get your.

Speaker 11 (41:58):
Water bottle out, John Boy and your eightpen.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Start to.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Know it.

Speaker 10 (42:04):
In other words, dealing with the crazy people don't end
once she walks through the front door.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Here, So you don't want to just come and wait.

Speaker 9 (42:14):
Call never We're very common and just call and.
