Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Big Show fans, Citizen Raandi at yourge service.

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 Robert D.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
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 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 Ayrodale Middle School

(01:00):
had ninety 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

(01:20):
until I remembered that our high schools need a state
certified law enforcement officer to patrol the halls. That put
it back in perspective again. Our schools are 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

(01:42):
to be their friends. They don't want anyone 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.

(02:03):
Now those children aren't getting disciplined anywhere they 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

(02:24):
of disruptions. Two of the reasons my kids have to
wear uniforms because other parents let their kids 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're 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

(02:46):
abide by a bunch of restrictions caused by the parents
who aren't doing their job. This from a parent, which
we pass on for what it's worth. On the John
Boy and Billy Show, Good Morning, the.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Big Shows on a radio. Guess the big Show's on

You kind of got used up every thirty minutes.

Speaker 6 (13:31):

Speaker 5 (13:36):
He's in the mail room today, Friday's his letters to
the editor day. So unless somebody brings up Lyndon Johnson's now.

Speaker 12 (13:44):
You.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
Don't give him any ideas we got it.

Speaker 8 (13:53):
I'm glad he can't hear me right now?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh got all right? Yeah, Ce Robert D. Rayford from
the mail room.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yes, sir, mist boy. In the mail 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's sort of I think bears repeating because
the listener sentit. 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
that 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 for an earthquake measuring seven

(15:25):
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 of the city. 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 attri mutes of our animals. Who says that,
I say that Robert d Ray for John Boyn Billy Show, Good.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
Morning, A big show is on you already open this
Friday morning, January twenty.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
First, all right, here's Calby waiting. No, come on, Billy, yo,
mad Maxie Max, how you doing?

Speaker 13 (16:23):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (16:23):
I'm maddering Jessie Jackson stuck behind a Confederate Memorial Day mad.
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.

(16:46):
The first, let's look at football exhibit A. Randy Mass Yeah,
that headcase that plays for Minnesota. You know it looks
like he diddy with his nipples hooked up to a
car batter. I guess all the touchdown he's scoring. The
game against Green Bay celebrated by pretending to pull down

(17:07):
his breeches and moon the Packer fans. First of all,
nice move, buck We 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

(17:28):
of line. It's gonna kill a game of football. Goodness sakes,
you'd think he pulled his bridges down. Had Saddam is
my homeboy tattooed on his butter something he get this.
I was watching her replay one of the several fouls
and this was on the local sports report on TV
when he been over in the end zone and put

(17:48):
him little censor blocks up on the screen to hide
his rear ends once again, you know the rear end.
He didn't really showy. She missed it. Let me repeat,
he didn't really pull his bringes down. It's all you
see is butts all over the fifth block. My big

(18:10):
art gotta fined ten thousand dollars though, which find by mihicles.
Howbout had a buttload all these end zone celebrations anytime
time of guy scorers nowadays doing cart wills, calling his
mom on the cellphone, timing the gold post, humping the mascot.

(18:32):
He ain't the first guy I'd ever scored a touchdown black.
My old coach used to say, act like you've been
there before and you're going again here.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
It's oh.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
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
chests like King called for five minutes. Hey, crusher, you're
getting paid eight million dollars. You had one and a
half tackles this year. You might want to back it down.

(19:04):
Do your job, shut up play. The only thing getting
worse and pro athletes making a ass out of self
is the sports fans at the games. Hey, no d y'all.
When you're running ten teams, slips up and wins one
and the camera gets on you, you're not number one, two

(19:27):
and ten. Oh, listen to sports fans on these sports
radio call in you know it 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 Snot Again. I know you're

(19:49):
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 holler at each other. Change you
don't know what you're talking about, How you're an idiot?

(20:11):
Back and forth, back, and forth. That's what CNN. It'd
be like if the guys from Crossfire dressed out for
Jim when they were growing up. Everything's in argument. Argue
with the fans, argue with the gans, argue with each other.
Please I watch, y'all, because I'm trying to unwind. If
I want to spend an hour and listen to two
people have an argument, I turn the TV off and

(20:34):
talk to my wife. That 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. No, please,
oh y'all, just sit down, shut up, get a haircut,
stop hollering, hang up the phone, playball, quit running my ally.

(20:57):
I'm going business, y'all. Have a nice day.

to play with Rayford.

Speaker 11 (31:40):
Everything in there smells like the pins.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
And Leford and pudding, and that finger's going to the
mail room.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
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 Uugh. It's his nickname. I guess
Lee Dennis, Mississippi. Greeting from northeast Mississippi. Recently, I heard

(32:12):
you speak of cleanuiness, 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 did 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. We have
a lot of listeners A big show and my daddy's
home state of Mississippi. Robert d Rayford in the mail

up the good work. I recall hearing you speak of
the Big Band weekend at the Grove Park in Ashville,
in fact you plan to attend, and how much you
enjoy dressing in your 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

(42:51):
orchestras is the Glenn Miller Band, the quintessential swing band.
Although I was born toward the end of the swing era,
my parents taught me the love of, appreciate and dance
to that music. I too loved a dressing my tucks
and for a moment in time, relive those grand days.
Best wishes for the new year. Elle McNeil chest it. Well,
so I'll be looking for you. Have you noticed on

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Good morning, A big show is on your radio.

Speaker 8 (43:56):
Where's my chair? Gonna break?

Speaker 1 (43:59):

Speaker 11 (44:00):
If you're busting up the chair and still confident that
you're not gonna let this diet change your life.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
Yeah, well, I'm gonna work on it. I'm gonna I'm
gonna be good this weekend. I'm not gonna let go
all of shut out.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
He's dealing with it through his humor.

Speaker 11 (44:15):
Oh we got the big argument Monday afternoon about sugar
free popsicles.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Oh man, he died.

Speaker 5 (44:21):
Randy's got me on a seal beast out. It is
so specific in the first is specific, guy, I need,
like you know, some categories to work the parameters.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Get on the phone and argue on your days off.
Apparently we weren't even off. This was part of my work,
bab work about my diet.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Whether it says no sugar added, it's not sugar free,
that's different. And then this low carve no low carb
does not mean I just want a fudge signal.

Speaker 6 (44:51):
At one point, Randy finally goes, have a fudge have
a whole box?

Speaker 8 (44:55):
Up I did?

Speaker 1 (44:56):
I said, if I'll tell you what, just go ahead
and eat it. Then No, I don't want I want
to try one. Shut up, you sound like me.

Speaker 8 (45:05):
The boy you Fudgicle.

Speaker 11 (45:08):
Popsicle makes a sugar free fudge sickle that tastes great.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Old old dumb ass in here.

Speaker 11 (45:16):
I can't find him in the freezer section of the
grocery store.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
So John o'billy grilla sauce on sale for like two bucks.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Some change freezer sections.

Speaker 17 (45:28):
Say that's nowhere near the ice.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
No, I don't shop good. No, I mean you know you.

Speaker 14 (45:35):
Went shopping with him once at the beach, never again.
You know we were in there for an hour and
twelve minutes. We got three things.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
And they put stuff up to distract you, like I
think that they play stuff like on purpose.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
It might be onto something there.

Speaker 6 (45:54):
Those mind games at the grocery store, they're just all.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Of a sudden.

Speaker 5 (45:58):
I mean, I'm over here a house wares and doll food,
trying to find tug or something, and out pops some cheetos.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Were you on the phone with him? Sugar in it?

Speaker 9 (46:08):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (46:08):
By way, Tuger is my dog.

Speaker 12 (46:11):
I think the cheetos might have been misplaced from somebody else's.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
Were they liver flavored cheetos?

Speaker 5 (46:16):
You know?

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Yeah? And by the way, that bacon in that all
it was not really baking were stretch. I went over
to his house.

Speaker 6 (46:32):
For the record. In the in the snack biscuits, you
got the kind for a large idiot, But.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
It was fun for me.

Speaker 11 (46:38):
I went over to his house and put one on
his nose and said, no.

Speaker 19 (46:40):
No, no, okay, but it's an adventure out there in
supermarket land.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
That sounds exciting.

Speaker 17 (46:56):
He's a whole big world out there.

Speaker 5 (46:59):
Telling the guy from the meat department, somebody, you helped
me find some mazarella cheese.

Speaker 1 (47:07):

Unfrozen caveman?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
You have a hard time finding the mazzarella cheese. The
meat all kind of cheeses.

Speaker 6 (47:19):
There's no cheese here.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
This is the meat department.

Speaker 6 (47:25):
What kind of grocery stores.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
They should though, They should just put the items that
go together together. They should put the meats with the cheeses.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
I think they enjoy running you around the store. They
didn't have like pop up things at you.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Jesus. Well, you know, they give you a little cart
with wheels. He ain't got a luggage all around.

Speaker 18 (47:46):

thirty minutes and nobody recognized. But with some mental patience,
I was trying to get the same expression I had

Okay, Well, Tracy has finally happened. Actress and pop diva
Jennifer Lopez is telling her friends and fans don't call

gotten on her nerves too. 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, not Jennifer. However, However, this story

(51:47):
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 a new nickname that incorporates an initial.
The leading candidate so far is a diva J B
Jenny l or c B yatch.

Speaker 1 (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 8 (53:53):
Dear Robert D.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
What is it with these new car manufacturers that have
installed fluorescent, bright blue colored 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 we'll 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 Phillipson, that's end truck driver, all right, and we
will carry on long's this gravy train runs. Robert d Rayfer,
