Speaker 5 (12:17):
Morning makes shows on the radio in minutes.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Christmas caw from Ike Turner.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Right now, let's turn our attention to the Christmas gift.

Speaker 14 (12:28):
The holiday season is here, the year's biggest gift giving occasion.
The gift you give your wife at Christmas is the
most important gift you'll give her all year long. In
these uncertain economic times, you may be searching for a
way to make it well less expensive, which is exactly

(12:53):
the wrong thing to do. When the chips are down,
the right gift makes even more of a difference. What
do you have in mind? Is a gift this year? Clothing, shoes, gold, diamonds? No,
this Christmas, give your wife a timeless gift, a gift

(13:16):
that shows her exactly how you feel, A gift that
own me. You can give her this year give her
your money. I know, I know that might seem extreme
or maybe even a bit crazy, but consider this, whether

(13:36):
you have hundreds, thousands, or even millions, chances are you
have that because of your wife, The woman who's been
by your side every step of the way, telling you
when you're making another huge mistake, the woman who said,
what that's the stupidest waste of money I've ever heard of.

(14:01):
You are an idiot, and you know she's right. You
are an idiot, especially when it comes to money. So
wouldn't it be easier to just turn it over to her?
And we're not talking one hundred dollars or even one
thousand dollars, we mean fifty percent of your whole net worth.

(14:26):
That's right, half half of everything you own. After all,
she's earned it, half of everything you own. It's a
gift that says, here, I'm done, take this and leave
me alone. And once you give it, you'll be free,

(14:47):
free to start all over again, free to reach out
and claw desperately to that last feigning chance of happiness
on the back nine of your life. Half of everything
you own. Yes, it's an expensive gift, but she's going

(15:10):
to get it anyway. Would you rather continue doling it
out one moronic MasterCard purchase at a time, or all
at once, and just get it over with half of
everything you own. The gift that says fine here whatever, goodbye.

(15:35):
This holiday message brought to you by the law firms
of Dootes and Capra call Us before as she does,
because a divorce is forever.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Good morning. It's a big showing the radio.

Speaker 9 (17:14):
I didn't land on my cell phone.

Speaker 15 (17:18):
Oh hell no, where's that home? Oh hell no? Where
didn't she go? Oh I'm having lunch with the damn
girlfriends going up?

Speaker 3 (17:31):
But my foot in her beg rear.

Speaker 15 (17:34):
Crawl to the door, but the damn things locked. It's
getting dark going in too shock.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
No one will help me.

Speaker 15 (17:44):
And that's not good. I hate this damn white name buck.
Oh hell no, where's that home? Oh hell no? Where

Speaker 7 (18:42):
Rayford.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
No contributing.

Speaker 7 (18:46):
Hold on, I've been working here and all that time,
and you don't know me to contribute?

Speaker 13 (18:51):
All right, I got you.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
Impty's stalking right here, hoy all doing This's Rayford and
time for my holiday fruitcake recipe.

Speaker 11 (19:00):
Here's what you need.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Be sure you get your ingredients here.

Speaker 7 (19:02):
We need a cup of water, a cup of sugar,
four eggs, two cups of dried chopped fruit, a teaspoon
of baking soda, two and a half cups of flour,
a cup of brown sugar, one and a half teaspoons
of vanilla, a cup of chopped nuts, some lemon juice,
and of course, a bottle of your favorite whiskey. That's

(19:24):
the most important ingredient, all right. Now, the first thing
you need to do is sample the whiskey to make
sure that it is fresh and of all the finest quality. Yeah,
I think I'll do fine. All right, I'll say we
need a large bowl. Get your bowl right there. Now,

(19:46):
let's be sure to check out whiskey again. Make sure
you've sold the highest bowler. All right. First, take a
whiskey for one level cup of whiskey. Now drink.

Speaker 13 (20:05):
I'm good.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
Let's repeat that one more time. All right, longing were
in business. Now now it's electric mixer. Turn it on,
and then we want to beat one cup of butter
in the fluffy little bowl and add one teaspoon of

(20:28):
sugar and beat again. Let's make sure the whiskey is
all right.

Speaker 11 (20:36):
That'd be good, all right now.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Now let's turn off the mixer, all right, I'll break
four legs and add to the bowl. And then we
wanna chuck in a cup of dried fruit. Then you
mix on the turner again, and it's the fried group
gets struck in the beaters. You need to pry loose

(21:02):
with a juice grabber and ju sure to sample of
whiskey and make sure it ain't going over. Don't work
all right? Now I want to sift two cups of
salt or something.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Who cares.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
Just make sure the whiskey is all right, and then
we want to sift the lemon juice.

Speaker 11 (21:25):
Play me one second.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
And strain your nuts. Then I had one table spoon
of sugar or whatever you can find. Now you want
to a grease the oven and turn the cake three
hundred and fifty degrees, and don't forget to beat off

(21:52):
the turner. That's very important, all right, Well by us,
I'll clean this up tomorrow. Now the most important part
finished the whiskey. Turn off to light and go to

(22:14):
bed raf harp your holidays. See me after the first
of the years.

Speaker 10 (22:24):
Cookie with Rayford was made possible in part by a
grant from the Jack Daniels Distillery of Lynchburg, Tennessee, providing
sour mash whiskey to Rayford's for over three generation.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Oh right, Hi, let's play John Boy Jeopardy. Let's review
yesterday's question. We found out when the world's first Christmas
card was issued in eighteen forty three, there was a
public outcry to ban it because these stoops featured a
depiction of people doing.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
This, what's drinking alcohol?

Speaker 5 (22:58):
And then they're handing like a kid a glass of wine.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
For the Christmas card.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
I want to see.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Go for today's John Boy Jeopardy. Well, it was during
the sixteenth century Turkish citizens who were caught drinking this
were sentenced to death, But today Turkey is one of
the world's largest importers and exporters of it.

Speaker 6 (23:22):

Speaker 5 (26:04):
But it says they're a significant importer of green coffee
means and have developed specialized methods for processing and roasting them.
They then re export to the world, give them a
strong role in the global coffee supplies that they inserted themselves.

was hard getting up early after chewing down about twenty

(31:13):
pounds of turkey the day before, but this is where
the great ones dig deep. I got up at three
m suited up in my extra roomy yoga pants, my
knee pads, elbowguard's mouthpiece, headgear, and them leather gloves with
lead weights in the pond. You gotta be prepared, brother,
if you want them. Wicked dolls, electric scooters and store

(31:33):
brand liquor too too. Hey, you gotta treat yourself sometimes,
don't you. I decided to go to Targia, which is
really just a Walmart for people who think they're bougie.
You know, the line was already one hundred people long.
They weren't ready for the classic bucy strategy on. I
know there'd be blood if I tried to cut in lines,

(31:56):
so I just tossed out a couple of them strings
of firecrackers. They were all like.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
From the front line.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Don't mind if.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
I do pop pipe collar, kype. That girl doesn't jumped
out of her type. It's ever read for herself a
woman too. You'd have done it if you thought of
it too. Holy cow, but you know that you didn't
because you're stood bad be So the doors popped open

(32:33):
at five am, and Diary, it was a good game
on elbows flying, hair pulling, earrings falling off, shoes dropping,
and I don't know what tall And that was just
in the greeting card section. I set my sights on
a big plush blanket with Taylor Swift on one side
and Travis Kelcey on the other, you buddy, And just

(32:57):
as I got to it, this big old galger grabs
a hold of it with both hands. I looked up
and straight into the face of evil Diarist. She had
a unibrow and a Freddie Mercury mustache match. She had
a gap in her teeth that you could drive a
Ford Bronco through. She had so many double chins she
needed a bookmark to find her mouth. She roared up

(33:25):
into my face and I could smell her Starbucks order
Grand half Cafe, quarter Calf dcalf no calf pumping spice,
triple Latte, shaking Nott's Third You. But this was Taylor Swift.
We're talking about.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Swifties in the horse.

Speaker 6 (33:44):
Jake shake, shake it off, Jake, get off, shake off
my blanky he aw ever, boy, so I just did
a quick little chop chop roynehouse kick if she was
a guide, kick her in the teeth. You thought I
was on the same.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's cores.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
Well, diary. This may be the only time in the
history of Black Friday shopping that everyone actually stops stuffing
their carts with one hundred dollars flat screens. In cases
of you who and watched the fight, I've seen enough
John Wick movies to know I couldn't whip her face
to face, so I distracted her by throwing a pack
of Raspberry's Singers, and when she turned to run after it,
I jumped on her back. Huh, that big old gal

(34:29):
bucked and kicked like a.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Wild right ho woo woo.

Speaker 6 (34:39):
I saw an opening that got my arm into TwixT
two of those swinging chins, and I sinched up on her.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
Boy.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
She charged down the aisle, trying to scrape me off,
first against the display of those cheap Dutch butter cookies
and then into those many kids a diet vanilla caffeine
free cook of colers. But I held on tight. She
busts through the door into the parking lot, ram in
and overturning cars that were in her path. Right know,
my rear neckd choke finally took hold of head down.

(35:08):
She went victory was mine? Take that tubby blanket, Bowgarder,
you just lost in the damage you did as a
terrible cost. I think I should have won a trophy.
I reckon because I stayed on for longer than eight seconds.
If I see your tail again, repeat, no one gets
my tay tab blanket. Yeah, get you, you, get you,

(35:30):
get you some.

Speaker 1 (35:31):

Good morning Monroe Baites Wheenest, Dear John Boy, he and
Billy to quote the one and only great Uncle Hugheye,
welcome back to my world. Big guy, you talk about
I mean, I'm serious, this is I'm pretty emotional talk

(38:50):
about you know, someone's life that was one hundred percent
redefined by connecting to you. I first met you, John
Boy in nineteen four in the back corner booth one
night at the Moorhead Longhorn Steak House and Charlotte. We
bonded really quick there. Doug Monrose talk.

Speaker 11 (39:12):
About the world.

Speaker 8 (39:13):
In nineteen ninety six, I pitched Johnny and Randy on
the idea to throw my career in hotel management away
out the window and travel the world, calling in collect
reverse charges weekly to the Big Show. I did so
from nineteen ninety six to two thousand and three. I
was forty one years old when I started. Although I

(39:37):
would occasionally check in, you know, after those years, the
bulk of it was the amazing years. Twenty nine years
ago this month, I first connected from my first call
in that Randy had approved and yes, he gave me
a fact civily. Back when they were faxes. I got
some illegal, fake documents in Bangkok that told that I

(39:59):
was a journal But I took off twenty nine years ago,
Big guys this month and arrived to the fishing village
of Placentia. Belize it didn't stop. You know, Johnny, do
recap what you did to me. The famous faces I

(40:21):
personally encountered because of my affiliation with the Big Show.
I met sixth presidents, including Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabi, and I've
been eye to eye with a cun in my back
as I spoke to President Daniel Ortega and niic Rod.
We're still president. The great train Robber, Remember Ronnie Biggs.
We chased him down in Rio. Lots of Nascar legends,

(40:45):
Michael Walter, Ernie Irvin, Beannie Parsons, General Tom Saddler. I
put him in that category. Kenny Pancho Cunnings, you remember
he's Skeenny Kenny Marion. Johnny the musician turned me on
to direct the Robert Earl Keene. Tom Petty, you once
gave me big show tickets for an entire row section

(41:08):
and some outdoor coliseum there, Lindsey Buckingham. I also wanted
to to show live with James Brown and Augusta Georgia
for the Big Show. You see that right, I had
lost you.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
No, yeah, I got you, buddy.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
I'm enjoying going down memory lane with you, man Goues.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
We've been coming up with that.

Speaker 8 (41:27):
Good Over the original seven years, I traveled to over
one hundred and fifty countries. These are some of the
places I called in live live and remember back then
there was no delay. I went live and boys, that
got us in trouble couple times, but anyway, I called
in live from the Panama Canal, Tierra del Fuego, the

(41:49):
tip of South America, Moscow, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro. I
did a show live from the Siberian Railroad going across Russia.
I did one live the Great Wall of China, from
the Amazon River, from the Nile River, from the Maykong River.
I did it with the seaming distance of Mount Everest.
I remember calling you that, uh, the mountains of the

(42:11):
Moon and Uganda. I called you live from the hard
Rock Resort in Bali. I called you from Bamacco. I
even called you guys live from timbuck To and Molly
near death experiences seven times during those years. The closest

(42:32):
involved a gun being shot, so he shot up the
house I was in in Honduras. Somebody put a gun
in my chest, pulled the trigger, the gun jammed in
El Salador. Uh. Then there was a knife fight I
got into in Laos, but that that all ended up, okay.
I escaped the hotel fire with one shoe in a pillow,

(42:54):
remember that in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. As I said,
I mean, the show probably changed my world in my
life more than any anybody that's been affiliated with it.
I think you know you remember I met along the
way the Austrian tour guide. Not only did we fall
in love exploring the globe, we later had two children,

(43:17):
Charlie and Panama, both proud college students excelling there. We
lived in Austria for years, and after twenty years together,
yes well, we had a bitter divorce and I came
back to where it all started in Belize. I am now,
Johnny the largest high biscus surreal fruit grower in the

(43:41):
entire country. I have a juice company called Yellow Jaw
Jungle Juice. Someday it's going to be up there. I
don't know. We might be the next Red Bull. I
know you might want to say something, but before I go,
now that you're retiring, I really think that you ought
to take the opportunity to come down here and pick

(44:03):
fruit with us next season. I think they do a
lot better for you than that job you're gonna get
at Walmart being a greeter. Johnny, from all the heart,
I love you, Billy, Randy Making and all the moys, Jackie, Cookie, Marshy, Officer,
Donnie Presley, Twisted Brother, TC, Tom Carey, Doc Brewer, Chris McKee,

(44:28):
Jeff Kent, Jeff Pillars, the late Henry Cato. Two listeners
that have listened and followed me all my life, Mike
Patterson in Virginia. I love you, brother Brett Wilburn and
Myrtle By South Carolina. Johnny, what you got about it?

Speaker 5 (44:45):
Brother to Boddy Well say one, yeah, man, I enjoyed
that going down that memory lane.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Man, you did, you did a good job there.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
Remember I told these girls, I said, hey, y'all, write
down every name that has been in the show for
the last years, then you'll remember.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
So we got to go start with you like that.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
The wildest, longest hold, buddy, hold, we we are. We
are short now, but I just wanted to say that
when when I met you there, that's when I also
met Terry Hansoon Monroe was he's been pretty sharp. It
was general manager of Dunhill Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina, and

(45:23):
when Hanson moved here to take over Raycom Sports, he
lived out of there for a while. So that's the
way we met Terry Hanson and Monroe the same time
at the old Longhorn Steakhouse close to our old studios
of town.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
Yes, goney, good luck to all of you in the future.
You've had a wonderful life and you only have the
best of the world ahead of you. Bless you all.
Thank you for doing everything for me. Thank you for
all the listeners. We all love you. You've You've been
a part of our life and by God, you ain't
never gonna leave us.
