number was issued to Lawrence Balsamo of Rosel, Illinois for
his greeting card confetti delivery system air suction process that
would shower confetti on a person opening a greedy car.

Speaker 8 (05:45):
And I'm guessing he was later murdered by a guy
with eighteen kids.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Not again, So eighty eight, it's break confetti on that
glitter stuff?

Speaker 6 (05:56):
Is that where that comes from?

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Right here, let us stop challis mel Selver's here.

Speaker 11 (14:23):
Hello, friends and neighbors. It's me Bill Silvers and just
in time. I my dad, this show was taking taking.
I tell you don't love time enough with a hea
harsh stick. If you haven't got it right in forty years,
pull the plug.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's just a hint. Speaking of pull the plug, what
about our president?

Speaker 6 (14:40):
You too soon or not soon enough?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
You know you might.

Speaker 15 (14:44):
I'll be able to afford your turkey this holiday season.
But don't worry. You've got one in the White House.
He's the one wandering around wondering who Brandon is and
where they're going later.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
But like Elvis said, don't be cruel. Christmas is the.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Season to love our fellow man, even if he is
destroying the country. Was that out loud? But let's overlook
that horrifying fact for just a moment.

Speaker 15 (15:07):
Put on your thinking caps since he doesn't, and think
about what you'd give the president for Christmas. I mean
one that George Soros hasn't already given him. Too topical.
So here we go from the Home Office in Dumb Dumb, Delaware.
The top ten things to get Joe Biden for Christmas.
Number ten new from BS Industries, The all new, all

(15:31):
improved Fancy Fanny filter. Tired of embarrassing yourself in front
of heads of state, pouting from putting in front of royalty,
The Fancy Fanny filter is guaranteed to muffle the sound
instead of Eddie rectal repercussions. It's the fanny filter from
BS now with moisture wicking. New number nine a paint

(15:53):
by number set. It'll give him something to do with
his son. Remember ages three enough and like skitty cats,
number eight balls the ones he has now we're all
under the couch, so maybe get him some big ones.
Oh and PS.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
He doesn't like bells. Number seven a decent vice president.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
That would be nice.

Speaker 15 (16:16):
I can tell you where to put the bowl he
quipped with GPS and directions to the border. But she
does have a lovely laugh. Number six marbles. Since he's
clearly lost his we call these lego jokes. Folks just
keep stacking him trying to keep up. Number five new
from PS Industries. It's mister pudding. Just add the ingredients,

(16:38):
set the timer for right before nappy time, and get
ready to enjoy comes complete with BIB. Number four a
new doctor. You know what we can trust is Kavorkian available?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Look it up.

Speaker 15 (16:50):
I don't have time to explain Number three. If all
else fails, how about a nice board game?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I suggest clue since he doesn't have one, and whatever
you do, don't get him risk.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
He keeps surrendering to France.

Speaker 15 (17:06):
Number two twenty twenty four is right around the corner.
Nothing says Merry Christmas to a Democrat like a big
fat bundle of provisional ballads, delivery accepted after four.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Am and the number one gift you.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Should get Joe Biden for Christmas.

Speaker 15 (17:20):
BS Industries presents science diction and easy to follow diction
course for every mumbling simpleton.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
On your list.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Go from a mumbling incoherent boob.

Speaker 9 (17:29):
Like this.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
Bugs sends you and you have a big one.

Speaker 15 (17:37):
To a well spoken paragon of clear communication like this,
why aren't you laughing?

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Jackie?

Speaker 15 (17:53):
Results may vary. It's science diction only from BS Industries.
Thank you and good night. Try the waiter and tip
your veal. Good morning, Big shows on the radio for you.

Speaker 10 (28:15):
Actually, wow, I wondered, like in captivity, like a sea
world or something like that.

Speaker 15 (28:23):

Speaker 3 (28:24):

Speaker 10 (29:08):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one export.

Speaker 20 (29:24):
Welcome to John Boy and Billy Playhouse Today's episode The
Parrot Problem. As our story opens, an unhappy customer is
entering the pet depot at Brushywood Mall.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
A Merry Christmas? How you doing?

Speaker 21 (29:41):
I ain't doing worth a fart?

Speaker 15 (29:44):
I time.

Speaker 21 (29:45):
I'm here to return this parrot you sold me.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
WHOA got a problem with the bard?

Speaker 21 (29:49):
Yeah, you said he can tell.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Of course he could talk. He's a parrot. Ain't you
ever seen a pirate movie? Don't get Oh?

Speaker 21 (29:57):
Sorry, Well, Vision has been in home with me.

Speaker 19 (30:00):
It's almost twenty four s three hours and he ain't
said the first word yet.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Ye ah.

Speaker 21 (30:08):
Yeah, except for that word. Every once in a while
he'll say, by.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
You there you go, Billy.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
That's how he's gonna milk it out.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I think that's something wrong with his timing chain. Stupid bird, Lenny.

Speaker 22 (30:21):
He may not look like it, but this is a sensitive,
intelligent animal, just not the guy playing him. A couple
of weeks ago, he's flying around the rainforest. Then a
guy dropped a sack on his head, stuffed him in
a box. Next thing, you know, some Mexican kids smuggling
across the border in his underwear. Yeah, it's been traumatic,
ain't that right?

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Polly? There you go. You gotta let him get used
to his new environment. Tell you what you need? A mirror?

Speaker 21 (30:48):
A mirror?

Speaker 22 (30:49):
Yeah, you hang it by the bar on the inside
of his cage. He looks in there, thinks he sees
another bird. Hey, another bird. Pretty soon he's all loosened up,
ready to carry on a conversation. This little beauty here
is our bestseller. Hearts Mountain number ten fifteen.

Speaker 21 (31:04):
How much do you won't for it?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Normally fourteen ninety five for you twelve bucks twelve.

Speaker 21 (31:10):
Dollars for the low beauty mirror? How do you want it?
To see me your store for seventy nine cent?

Speaker 22 (31:19):
Hey, crackers, don't help, look lady. The ten fifteen here
is the Cadillac of bird mirrors, plastic security clips, anti
glare coating, and look at a genuine simulated wood frame.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Lordy, dull.

Speaker 22 (31:36):
The thing ought to be hanging in the museum someplace.
If you say it's a good one, trust me, it's
the best. Your bird love it.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Here you go, sweetheart, have a merry Christmas.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
The next day, our unhappy customer is back.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Merry Christmas, welcome to the Hey it's the bird girl.

Speaker 21 (31:55):
Yeah, you're right, and I'm here to get my money
back for this stupid bird.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Now, what's the problem, same problem is.

Speaker 19 (32:03):
Used to be talking, parrot, ain't talking. That mirror you
show me ain't made a looking difference. Now are you
gonna give me hurry fun or do I have.

Speaker 21 (32:12):
To tell them all manager? Ain't funny.

Speaker 22 (32:20):
It sounds like crackers his teeth off, Easy, lady, easy, easy, listen.
This bird's been through a lot of changes. Two weeks
ago he's flying around sun up, the sun down. Now
he's cooped up in a little bitty cage all day.
He needs exercise, and I got just the thing for him.
The bird ladder. The bird ladder, the bird ladder. Shall

(32:43):
you put this baby in a cage? Hops up and
down it all day long. Pretty soon he's got his
old strength back again. Next thing you know, he's talking
your ear off. How much nineteen ninety five?

Speaker 21 (32:52):
What what's more than a little mirror rock?

Speaker 22 (32:56):
Now you heard him, that's what he's talking about. This
is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. You know, that's all
carved by hand. Trust me, lady, this is exactly.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
What you need.

Speaker 21 (33:06):
Oh okay, but this better work, trust me.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
There you go dolling Merry Christmas.

Speaker 8 (33:11):
The next day it's deja vu all over again.

Speaker 21 (33:17):
Kay, Why he.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
I've hit it?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Hey, ain't calmed down, lady.

Speaker 21 (33:22):
Don't tell me to calm down. I want my money back,
and I want it right now.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'm still having problems with your birden not anymore.

Speaker 21 (33:30):
He's dead dead, yeah, she for yourself.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Wow, you're right stiff as a board. When did this happen?

Speaker 21 (33:37):
First thing this morning?

Speaker 19 (33:39):
I got up to check on him and he was
sitting there on that ladder, kind of weaving back and forth.

Speaker 21 (33:44):
Next thing you know, it killed over right in front
of me.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Unbelievable. And he never talked to you the whole time
you had him.

Speaker 21 (33:53):
Actually, he didn't manage to get out a few words
right before he did.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Oh yeah, what do he say?

Speaker 21 (33:58):
He said? R lady, don't they shall know? Food at
that picture.

Speaker 8 (34:10):
We hope you've enjoyed John Boy and Billy Playhouse.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
You come to the right place. How about a nice
parrot coffee?

Speaker 14 (34:16):
I am a seven.

Speaker 20 (34:18):
You and again next time when we hear the crusty
old Mexican parent smugglers say.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Hey, big man, let me hold a dollar.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
Say I knew who's gonna die?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
So I was sounding weaker and weaker as my role
would owns.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
John Boy and Billy.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
To say that you behave childishly is an insult to
children everywhere.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Good morning radio.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
Dumb right, no.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Good Monday Morning, Big shows on the radio. And Haye
been wearing us out with a Christmas song we hadn't
heard before us. It's already a classic. Feels like it
has been listening to it for ten days, feels like
about ten years.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Yeah, well you remember they bring all the classics, you.

Speaker 6 (35:28):
Know, we got a bunch of them.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Hell light, Well that's coming up here to brand new
and hear in about twenty minutes. Well, our favorite one
hundred year old is stop by to pay us a visit.
Welcome back to the Big Show.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
Nervel tea Wheeler.

Speaker 10 (35:43):
What has you out about today? The padna Hey, John Boy,
truth be told. I come in for a cup of coffee,
Dad burned coffee machines on the blank.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
Well you couldn't just stop at the gas station.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
You know what them fellers want for a cup of coffee.

Speaker 10 (36:00):
Some places almost two dollars getting cough of here only
cost me some time and having to listen to you knuckleheads.
Crack wise, i'd to say, we're even all right. So
once you toting around there, Oh this a this here
is a Christmas present. Why I was a little early,
but things you.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Shouldn't have I didn't. It's not for you.

Speaker 10 (36:20):
My great granddaughter giving me this a couple of years ago.
It's a it's a foreign language course.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I listened to it in the truck.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
That old trunk's got a CD player.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, seeven got a stare it. Well, I was born
one hundred years ago.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
My truck was what language are you learning?

Speaker 14 (36:37):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (36:37):
I take it around with lots of different languages for
a while. I had a record some year ago and
you could play it while you was asleep and you'd
learn Spanish.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
During the night. The record skipped the next day, I
could stutter in Spanish.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
What other languages do you know?

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Well? I know a little Hebrew?

Speaker 6 (36:56):
Really, Yeah, he's my tax guy, A good one, noble.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Thanks. You use that one of your little skits there
right now, I'm dabbling the night in Mandarin.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
Well that's unusual.

Speaker 10 (37:09):
Yeah, Well, I think the lady at the place where
I get my egg rolls is making wise cracks about me.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
I want to find out.

Speaker 10 (37:17):
I think most folks would do well to learn a
new language, especially politicians.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Be nice. If I'd learned how to speak truth.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
Well, I don't think I could ever learn another language.

Speaker 10 (37:26):
Oh come on, now, come on, y'ahn boy, don't be
the heart on yourself. That's our job. If a parent
can do it, you sure can. Probably well I sense
a story. Yeah, well, here's a long time ago. My
mother was living alone after my daddy passed, and I
want to get something to keep her company. I went

(37:47):
to a pet shop over there in the city and
took a look around. The owner come up and see
what I was looking for, and I told him the situation.
He says, well, now I got just the thing that's here.
Parents speaks five different liveslanguages. She'll have a ball with it.
So I made the arrangements to have that parrot delivered
the mob. A few days later, I stopped by. I says, hey,

(38:08):
how'd you like that parrot? And she says, oh, it
was delicious. I said, mom, that parrot spoke five different languages.
She says, well, you should have said something. You have
the best stories and you have the best coffee, really none,
but the price is right. Listen, not I gotta get

(38:30):
to be getting It's okay if I get me a refilled,
of course it is.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Well you keep your gun all in your saddle, gras
and holler up and.

Speaker 14 (38:36):
You need me.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Let me tell you how much I appreciate it. Then
this is certainly a milestone. It ranked right up there
with the fact that I got a phone call prior
to the first que Carolina game from up in Norfolk, Virginia,
and this guy called and he said what he he said,
Coach Rozelle wants you to be on the radio with
him the bar and I done.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
I said what.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
I said, left, He's got a radio show up here
and he wants you to be on. And so I
was the knife before Carolina played Duke for the first time.
So being with John Boy and Billy's program right up
there with being with coach Brazzelle. Hright, this is what
he Durham, I want to remind you that you're listening
to John Boy and Billy's big show.

Speaker 7 (40:19):
A nice cabernet would go with that.

Speaker 5 (40:23):

our favorite restaurants, but that smells like chicken soup and
pine trees.

Speaker 15 (40:34):
