Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi Big Show Fans, Citizen Randy at George Jervis.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Today's podcast is another vintage John Boy and Billy Show.
It originally aired on January twenty first of two thousand
and five. Our guests for the entire show, Steve Bengola
and James Gregory enjoyed.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Probert Rayford kicking off the John Boy and Billy Show
on this school day, last day of the school week.
Got a lot of here from fellow named Larry coover
COO V E. R. Up around the Statesville area. Said
he sent a copy of something to me that he
had published in the Statesville newspaper Record and Landmark is

(00:39):
past Saturday.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't know whether he's a regular columnist or a
person who sent it in the form of a letter
to the editor of the paper. Anyway, we'll pass it
on and see what he thinks about the school situation. Says,
I've come to realize that almost everything I detest about
the school system has been brought about by discipline problems
involving a small percentage of students. East Ayredale Middle School.

(01:00):
I had mighty seven incidents of disrespect in one semester.
This is the tip of the Iceberg. When you consider
what goes on under the radar of the school's staff,
they can't be expected to be everywhere, and it all
influences our children. I was somewhat relieved after I met
with one of the administration and was told that only
five percent of the student body was actually a chronic
problem until I remember that our high schools need a

(01:22):
state certified law enforcement officer to patrol the halls. That
put it back in perspective again. Our schools are a
perfect reflection of society. Inside the walls of the schools.
Several more generations are being raised to accept limitations of
their freedom because of the actions of a few. This
is because some parents don't want to discipline their children.
They want to be their friends. They don't want anyone

(01:45):
else discipline in them either. I think the reason some
parents get so personally offended when their child's behavior comes
into question is because the child is acting like them.
School used to be the place where the kids that
didn't get raised at home met teachers and principals who
discipline and looked after them, helping them to be someone
in life. Now those children aren't getting disciplined anywhere they

(02:06):
want guidance. They want to know their limits. They'll push
until someone stops them. If it's not the parents or
the school, the next authority is law enforcement. Kids are
falling through the cracks and ultimately it gets dumped on
the police, the sheriff's office, and the court system. One
reason my kids have excessive homework is because the classroom
is full of disruptions. Two of the reasons my kids
have to wear uniforms because other parents let their kids

(02:29):
wear whatever they want to wear, and because other kids
make fun of children who can't afford the popular name
brand clothes. Our kids aren't perfect, but they are unlikely
to do any of these things because they are loved,
guided and disciplined. If we do our job as parents
by sending respectful kids to school to learn, then we
shouldn't have to abide by a bunch of restrictions caused
by the parents who aren't doing their job. This from

(02:52):
a parent, which we pass on for what it's worth.
On the John Boyn Billy Show.

Speaker 5 (02:57):

I said, Well, you don't ever really get you. He's

don't give him any.

Speaker 8 (13:49):
Ideas we got it.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
I'm glad he can't hear me right, yeah, oh god,
all right, yeah que Robert D.

Speaker 8 (13:58):
Rayford from the mail room.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yes, sir, mist boy in the major room. People send
me things that they clip, and quite often there are
things that I have done before. But then here's one
of those that sort of I think bears repeating because
the listener sented. And do animals have a sixth sense
that enables them to survive? Story about a dog that
survived being snatched up by an eagle, carried off, probably

(14:22):
dropped from the sky little Pekinese thirteen years old at
that and survived a week in sub freezing weather, but
found its way home. What about the animals that survived
the tsunami? Did they feel it coming? Yes, sir. Just
minutes before the tsunami crashed into a southern Indian wildlife sanctuary,
a lighthouse lookout reported an unusual sight a herd of

(14:43):
antelope stampeding from the shoreline toward the safety of a
nearby hilltop. Ten minutes later the waves hit, the animals
had run the safety. In Sri Lanka, the island nation
of India's southern tip, more than thirty thousand people were
killed yet at Yala National Park, just up the coast,
from where the destruction was most severe. All the elephants, leopards, deer,

(15:03):
and other wild animals managed to survive. The mighty ways
they all escaped. They had a feeling maybe it was
the sound ways. Can animals pick up signals that predict
the arrival of seismic events. Though history is full of
anecdotes about animals tuning into nature's early warnings, there is
no definitive answer. In China, the for an earthquake measuring

(15:25):
seven point three on the Richter scale hit that city
of Haiching in nineteen seventy five. During the depths of winter.
Locals reported seeing snakes emerging from hibernation, only to freeze
to death on the roads. Strange animal behavior was one
of the number of signals that allowed local officials raised
the alarm several days in advance to save virtually the

(15:45):
entire population.

Speaker 13 (15:47):
Of the city.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Indeed, I'm sure you've noticed that when there's a storm
about or whatever, dogs will seem to sense it. I
do believe they have a sixth sense. With that all
of us had some of the same attributes of our animals.
Who says that, I say that Robert d Ray for
John boyn billy show.

Speaker 8 (16:11):
Good morning, A big show is own.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
You are ready over this Friday morning, January twenty First,
all right, here's Colby waiting.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
No cowboy billy Yo, mad Maxie Max?

Speaker 8 (16:22):
How you doing?

Speaker 7 (16:23):
Oh I'm maddering. Jesse Jackson stuck behind a Confederate Memorial Day.

Speaker 8 (16:28):
Oh mad?

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Oh yeah? Well, the cheese minding topic of the morning
is sports. If you ask me, the world of professional
sports is coming on glued. If that dog down Orlando
hadn't beaten me to it, I might be taking a
crap head. First, less looking football exhibit A Randy Mass Yeah,

(16:51):
that head case that plays for Minnesota. You know it
looks like he diddy with his nipples hooked up to
a car battery. I guess all the touchdown he's scoring
the game against Green Bay celebrated by pretending to pull
down his breeches and moon the Packer fans. First of all,

(17:11):
nice move, buck Wee. But I like to point out
he didn't actually do it. He acted like it all
solid week after that, all the media experts having a hissy.
Old Joe buck about started crying. Everybody, now here's out
of line. It's gonna kill a game. Of football. Goodness sakes,
you think he pulled his breeches down. Had Saddam is

(17:35):
my homeboy tattooed on his butter or something? Hey, get thiss.
I was watching a replay one of the several fouls
and this was on the local sports report on TV,
and when he been over in the end zone and
putting him little censor blocks up on the screen to
hide his rear ends once again, you know the rear end.

(17:57):
He didn't really show it. She missed it. Let me repeat,
he didn't really pull his bridges down. He's all you
see is butts all over the fifth block. My big
art gott fined ten thousand dollars though, which fine by mehicles,
How about how to butt load all these end zone

(18:19):
celebrations anytime time of guy scorers nowadays doing cart wills,
calling his mom on the cell phone, timing the gold post,
humping the mascot. He ain't the first guy that'd ever
scored a touchdown black, My old coach used to say,
act like you've been there before and you're going again. Hey,

(18:42):
it's oh the defensive guys they just as bad. Make
a sack, won't you settle for a quick high five.
They got a run there in the backfield, stand there
beating their chest like king. Call for five minutes a crusher.
You're getting paid eight million dollars. You had one and
a half tackles this year. You might want to back

(19:03):
it down. Do your job, shut up way. The only
thing getting worse and pro athletes making a ass out
of self is the sports fans at the games. Hey know,
do y'all when you're running ten teams, slips up and
wins one and the camera gets on you, you're not

(19:24):
number one, ship, two and ten. Oh, listen to sports
fans on these sports radio call him. You know it'd
always got that one or two or three or twelve
idiots that call every night. Loves the sound of his
own voice. Thanks. People can't wait to hear his take
on the Big Store bill. This is Jake from Lizard

(19:47):
Snot Again. I know you're probably wondering what I think
about all it is? Well, Jake on behalf of everybody listening.
We don't really give a crap what you think about anything.
And what's up with the guys on the TV sports shows?
Hey don't talk anymore? They just hollering at each other.

(20:08):
Change you don't know what you're talking about, how you're
an idiot, Back and forth, back and forth. There's what
CNN that'd be like if the guys from Crossfire dressed
out for gym when they were growing up. Everything's an argument.
Argue with the fans, argue with the gans, argue with
each other. Please now watch, y'all, cause I'm trying to unwind.

(20:29):
I want to spend an hour and listen to two
people have an argument. I turn the TV off and
talk to my wife. What I'm trying to say is
there basically three things wrong with professional sports. Everybody's playing it,
everybody's covering it, and everybody is watching it. Please, oh, y'all,
just sit down, shut up, get a haircut, stop hollering,

(20:53):
hang up the phone, playball, quit running my lowry. I'm

Speaker 8 (31:38):
You don want tell me to go play with Rayford.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Everything in there smells like the pens and Leford and
pudding and that finger.

Speaker 8 (31:48):
Let's go into the mail room, and Robert D.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Rayford in the mail room, of course, is the male
bag the inn box, as they say, and we get
them from all over. Here's one that's dispatched by the
US Postal Service, gone from Don ug Lee. That's where
he signed to Don ugg it's his nickname. I guess
Lee Dennis, Mississippi. Greeting from northeast Mississippi. Recently, I heard

(32:12):
you speak of cleanliness, not shaking hands. Here's something to
consider that might make you favor emails, although they tend
to be somewhat impersonal, at least compared to a handwritten letter.
Several years ago, the US Postal Service had a lot
of workers coming down with tuberculosis. They got tb from
people infected licking the stamps and the envelopes. Dida never

(32:32):
heard of that, but anyway, says today, the postal workers
are supposed to wear disposable gloves. I guess that's partly
due to the anthrax scare a couple of years ago.
It's a good practice. One place that's easy to pick
up germs. Is in a doctor's office reading a magazine
there that was handled by someone else with flu or
something else linked their thumb of fingers to turn the page.

(32:54):
They have gone in for a check up, left with
the flu. Only things you have to worry about the
emails you receive is maybe a paper cut. At least
you know where it's been. Who says that? I say
that Don Uglee of Dennis, Mississippi, about that.

Speaker 13 (33:09):
We have a lot of listeners A big.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Show and my daddy's home state of Mississippi, Robert d

tucks and dancing to that wonderful music. My wife and
I have been attending for years as I am passionate
about swing and my favorite of all orchestras is the
Glenn Miller Band, the quintessential swing band. Although I was
born toward the end of the swing era, my parents

(42:59):

moment in time, we live those grand days. Best wishes
for the new year. Elle McNeil chest it. Well, I'll

Oh we got a big argument Monday afternoon about sugar
free popsicles.

Speaker 8 (44:19):
Oh man, he died. Randy's got me on a salth
beast out.

Speaker 5 (44:23):
It is so specific in the first day, a specific guy.
I need, like you know, some categories to work the parameters.

Speaker 9 (44:30):
Get on the phone and argue on your days off.
Apparently we weren't even off.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
This was part of my work, babord.

Speaker 8 (44:37):
About my diet.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Whether it says no sugar added, well it's not sugar free.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
That's different.

Speaker 8 (44:43):
And then this low carve no low carb does not
mean just one fudge signal.

Speaker 6 (44:51):
At one finally goes have a fudge.

Speaker 8 (44:54):
I have a whole box.

Speaker 4 (44:55):

Speaker 9 (45:52):
You might be onto something there.

Speaker 6 (45:54):

Speaker 7 (46:08):
Wait?

Speaker 8 (46:08):
Bo way, Tugger is my dog?

Speaker 15 (46:11):

Speaker 8 (46:14):
Were they liver flavored Cheetos?

Speaker 9 (46:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (46:19):
And by the way, that bacon in that all? It
was not really baking.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
Were you begging for the stretch?

Speaker 1 (46:28):
I went over to his house and put the.

Speaker 6 (46:32):
Record in the in the snack biscuits, you wort the
kind for a large idiot, but it was fun for me.

Speaker 1 (46:38):

his nose and said, no, no.

No, okay, But it's an adventure out there in supermarket land.

Speaker 6 (51:19):
Okay, Well, Tracy has finally happened. Actress and pop diva
Jennifer Lopez is telling her friends and fans don't call
me j Lo anymore. Lopez says the nickname has finally
gotten on her nerves.

Speaker 8 (51:31):
Too.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
Well, that's not what she said, but that's really what
she meant. She says she's ready to send the name
into retirement and prefers to simply be called Jennifer now. No,
not Jennifer now. However, however, this story may not be
over because rumor is Lopez's management thinks Jennifer is just
not very catchy. They're trying to sell her on creating

so far is a diva J B Jenny l or
c B yacht.

Speaker 8 (53:41):
Oh good, there we're going here. Oh yeah, all right,
turn it over. Let's go to my room. Robert D.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Rayford, all right, mister boy, here's one short and suite
from Tennessee stilling in Charlotte.

Speaker 13 (53:53):
Dear Robert D.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
What is it with these new car manufacturers that have
installed fluorescent, bright blue color headlights that literally blind you
at night. I don't know who they are, but they're
opening the door for more motorists to lose their vision
while approaching these obnoxious headlights. Robert d please help me
by demanding a recall. They're dangerous to traffic safety. Well, Dennis,

(54:15):
that may be true. I've noticed them out on the roads.
But the thing that gets me are the great number
of popeyes you see out there and the ones that
don't have their headlights adjusted properly, one shining right in
your eyes and other than shining down on the pavement.
And of course there are those who just don't dim
their lights anyway, whether they're in back of you shining
those lights into your rear view mirror, or they're up

(54:36):
ahead blinding you. All Right, some to think about. Here's
one from Dennis Rogers and with Ville Virginia, a lot
of people call that Wytheville, which I did for years
with Ville Virginia. Mister Rayferd, that was a great exchange
between you and the congressman the other day. I needed
to hear both sides. I do believe in social security
for some reason, such as losing a spouse or certain disabilities,

(54:57):
But I wonder what would happen if President Bush's plan
would go through. I know if I were eighteen and
just starting off in the world, putting fifteen percent of
my take home pay in an IRA would be the
least of my worries. And now, as I'm getting older,
I tend to think about retirement. How many younger people
would voluntarily put a portion of their paycheck into mutual funds.
I agree that a change is needed, but what is

(55:19):
the right one. If the government was mandatory and taking
money out of my check and putting it in a
guaranteed fund, I'd be for it. Another thing, I hope
I'm half as active as you are when i'm your
age age. Keep on keeping on, Thank you, mister Rogers
from Whittville, Virginia. Greetings from Douglas, Georgia. Thanks for the
balance you bring to the show. Yes, that's what I

(55:39):
was trying to do when the Congressman if from over
a Gastonia Way was on, says. I enjoy listening to
each of your commentary bits each day as I drive
along the remote roadways of South Georgia. I find you
helped me exercise my mind with things I disagree with
and will mentally look at thoughts to rebut with I
drive a truck five days a week, start out at
five am, so I get to enjoy the early morning

(56:01):
beauty each day along with the Big Show crew. Your
take on current events and past experiences are always encouraging,
especially like your stories on children and dogs. Even though
you put on as a curmudgeon, you are a role
model to a lot of people. Just keep on keeping on,
Tim Phillipsons, that's end truck driver, all right, and we
will carry on. Who's this gravy train runs? Robert d Rafer,
