Speaker 8 (03:35):
Hello, fellow, good old boys, this is your old partner.
Send yorky arts and how do they from over here?
In him or laying your fee York Norway. I tell you, whapman,
you're stuck and waxing the family yack. There's no better
way to pass the time than listening to John Buy
(03:57):
and Billy on that Big Show. I only reached the
show was longer that yuck Wapson takes a while.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I think.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one exports.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We all heard about Tom Booley man. He was walking
through the holler trying to make a dollar.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
No, No, that was a different Dooley that was.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Made very good.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He was hanged in our backyard. Tom Dooley wanted what
he's famous for. You've heard the song. He was hanged
in Statesville, North Carolina on this date in eighteen sixty eight,
right down from John Boys, she ever light and Taylorsville.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
A few days earlier, local poet Thomas c. Land composed
a song that went, hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
poor boy, you're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Do we have a little bit of that hanger down
your head? Come to hang down your head?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It sounds like the Smothers Brothers, the Service Department from
CHOHn Bush your bones, You're bone to die. Dooley was
born in eighteen forty five in Elkville, North Carolina, now
Wilkes County. It was known to be handsome, gifted with
a fiddle, and a delight to the lady. When the
(05:53):
recent unpleasantness between the states began, and then seventeen year
old Tom enlisted and served as a regiment music for
four years.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We want to be the bugler.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Toward the end of the war, he was captured and
taken as a prisoner of war.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Not in the face, Not in the face.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When it was released, he returned home and resumed his
on the sly relationship with a married woman named Anne Melton,
I know she's married, and two other women named Laura
and Pauline Foster, who were Anne's cousins, and.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
He was like the Ike Turner of the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I don't know what it is. Chicks just didn't me.
I can't help it. I'm adorable.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
A web of romantic intrigue, jealousy, and spite emerged between
Tom and Laura and Pauline. The activities of this web
came to a conclusion early in eighteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Laura Foster was wakened by Dooley near dawn. Stupid, get up,
you gotta get up. I about mad It.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Doc to old Laura that he planned to marry her
that day. Laura Foster excitedly gathered her best clothes in
her father's horse and left for her rendezvous with Dooley,
who had supposedly gone to meet the Justice of the peace.
I'll be right back, but Laura never met up with Dooley.
She disappeared that same day, only to be found weeks
(07:25):
later murdered and buried in a shallow grave. She had
been stabbed in the heart. Now Dulee, knowing that he
was the last known person to see her alive, fled
to Tennessee, where a posse from Wilkes County eventually found
and returned him to the Wilkes County Jail to face
a jury.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh trial is out of ar.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Trial was moved to Staysville and Tom was sentenced to
be hanged on the gallows with a rope around his neck.
Tom stated, gentlemen, do you see this hand? I didn't
harm a hair on the girl's head, A bunch of
nerve wrack. But this was the dying lie of a
guilty man? Or was it the final words of an
innocent man?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Hmm well.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
In the months to follow, rumors and speculation spread, and
prior to the murder, Dooley had paid separate visits to
Pauline Foster and Anne Melton.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
You don't know, do you?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Reportedly he had confessed that while he loved all three women,
it was Laura that he intended to marry. There were
even witnesses that could support the story. This led to
speculation that the scorned women plotted a murderous encounter with
Laura as she rode to her wedding. Eventually, Anne and
her cousin Pauline Foster were arrested and tried for Laura's
(08:33):
murder or found innocent in a rushed trial.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
This trial happened after they had hung.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Y that's right, where the court had already hung its murderer.
What town would want to be known for hanging innocent
men and women?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I'm already danced.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Perhaps Tom Dooley was not a murderer. Maybe he was
just a broken hearted man who died at the end
of a rope. I'll protecting the secrets of the women
he loved.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I can't do it all.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Graves of the women are visits that each year by
a large number of tourist. Tom Dooley's grave is on
private property not open to the public. Tom Dooley Museum
is located in Ferguson, North Carolina, at the Whipperwill Academy
and Village and is open to the public. How about
that man, Well, y'all think I think he was misunderstood?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Well you will. The parallels are striking, John boyam billy.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I read a book about this short of thing once.
Are you sure it was a book?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Are you sure it wasn't nothing?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Good morning radio, done right?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Good morning, A big show is on the radio. That's
time for dumb, crooked news. I'm crooked news sending by
you big show. Listen, y'all, send a bunch yeomedy, and
we appreciate you. The address will follow this report. Two Chattanooga,
Tennessee pot farmers. We're riding around recently. This will end
(10:25):
badly with two large sacks of newly harvested pot that
needed to be dried out so it could be sold.
Apparently liking the apparatus to do the job themselves, the
men pulled into a local convenience store and one of
them took a bag of pot inside and loaded it
into the store's microwave.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
They don't have a pot button on this lenk.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
In no time, the store was filled with the aroma
of reefers, which called the attention of a uniformed police
officer inside the store. Well, well, the officer who's marked
patrolled car had been parked right out front when the
men arrived, who took the guy to cuss it inside
and said, tell my friend that I'm being arrested. So
(11:08):
he woke him up and found arrested upot in the car.
Rested both of them.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I'll tell you that stuff makey stupid man.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Two teens and Adrian Michigan outfit of the nineteen ninety
seven Dodge Intrepid to look like an unmarked police cruiser. Well,
the youths flashed the cars newly installed blue and white
strobe lights that unsuspecting motorists and pulled him over, then
laughed and drove away. Well, the wacky annex came to
an end earlier this month when the pair pulled over
a white mini van driven by Mike Martin, the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Local chief of police.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Martin, dressing his full uniform, got out of the man,
confiscated the fake cops driver's license, ordered them to follow
him to the police station, where he charged them with
impersonating a police officer.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Yes, being stupid, still not against the law.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
A man strolled into a bank in Tehran, the capital
city of Iran, and began brazenly snatching money from the
hands of customers. The thief was quickly grabbed and subdued
by his victims, which came as quite a surprise since
he thought they.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Couldn't see him. We'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The man told police he had paid a sorcerer five
million rials about six hundred and twenty five American bucks
for a collection of magic spells that would make him
invisible that were not too good. Police are now searching
for the phony sorcerer as an accessory to the crime.
(12:32):
A man facing drug charges in Wassatch County, Utah, hoped
to get a lighter sentence by writing a letter of
apology to the judge in the case, insisting that he
realized his mistake and was sincerely sorry for the crimes.
The man also jotted down a note to his girlfriend,
boasting to her that the apology letter was completely insincere
and just deployed to get him a lighter sentence.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, well, what could go wrong? Yep?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The defendant put the two letters in the envelopes. The
girlfriend got the apology, and the judge got the one
spelling out. The scam got six years in federal prisons.
Dumb government news or an anniversary tribute to September eleventh victims.
The city of Jersey City, New Jersey, planned to release
a flock of doves at a solemn downtown ceremony. City
(13:20):
officials apparently waited until the last minute to order the
doves and found local suppliers completely sold out.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
They wound up having.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
To replace the doves with a group of pigeons, which
had been caged for almost all of their lives. Well
witnesses at the memorial ceremony watched helpless, liasy, awkward birds
careened into the crowd, smashed into nearby office windows, and
plunged headfirst into the Hudson rivers.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Wow, this thing as easy as it looked.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
It's like the WKRP turkey drop.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Dumb Berkeley News.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
In the summer of two thousand and one, the City
of Berkeley, California, launched an experimental program to improve pedestrian
safety at four local inn sections using bens of orange
flags on the street corners. Now, pedestrians were supposed to
pick up a flag, hold it or wave it while
crossing the street, and then drop it off in the
bend of the opposite corner well. Ten months later, all
(14:14):
three thousand of the flags have been stolen or otherwise disappeared.
The city has spent thirty seven hundred dollars on replacement
flags that are yellow instead of orange. The wide that
might make them less likely to disappear is not clear,
and in true Berkeley fashion, the unsuccessful program is being
expanded to three new intersection.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Good Ideas.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Dumb Union News Teamsters Local nine eighty eight open this
new meeting hall in Houston, Texas to a firestorm of
unfavorable reviews by local construction workers, plumbers, electricians, and other trades.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
The problem well.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
According to the Houston Chronicle, the teamsters had their new
haul built with non union labor because they decided union
work was too expensive. Scud And Finally, James F. Wells,
a sixty one year old writer from Lantana, Florida, was
arrested after he contacted an underage girl on the Internet
(15:14):
and arranged to meet her at a local restaurant. Instead
of a fifteen year old girl, he was greeted at
the eatery by an adult male undercover detective. Mister Wells
literally wrote the book on making dumb moves among his
published works, as one entitled The Story of Stupidity, A
History of Western idiocy from the days of Greece to
(15:35):
the present. If you got dumb crook news, maillet to

and Billy. John Boy carrying Billy around wrapped up in
a little towel, mean making sound kindly like a cat.
Weren't no bigger than a squirrel. John boy wanted me
to bury him out back under that rock. Well, he
(16:19):
kept crawling out of that towel. After a while, order
let him go, and he crawled off summers. John Boy,

Thank you very much for having us this morning. I've

Jeff and Carla Jackson, who are from Athens, Texas, and
they travel from Texas to North Carolina to be a
part of the fifty thousand volunteers that are helping us
look through and inspect every shoebox gift that we receive
this week.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow, cool, Carla, how you doing this morning? It's fine,

always friendly up here. We love being up here and
we love the project.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
That is me.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
This is Jeff and Carla sixth year of coming to
Operation Christmas Child.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's neat. So when you volunteer, what does that consist of?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Are you ones that actually go through the boxes to
make sure.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Yes, we do a little of everything. We go through
the boxes, We help pack them, we help inspect them.
We just from start to finish, we're there. Whatever we do.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
It remind me next time I complain about have to
drive fifteen minutes to work about garlic, I'll need.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Your home numbers.
Speaker 11 (18:26):
It's the longest commute of anyone I know. She's doing
a great job working with us. This is Collection Week.
This is Thursday of Collection Week. So we're going to
wrap up on Monday, the twenty fifth, collecting your shoe
boxes filled with gifts for children across the world.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Now, well, the collection sites be open on Sunday as well.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
They will be open on Sunday and Monday, so there's
plenty of time. This weekend to do your shopping.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So once again, what needs to go in the boxes?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Very simple items. We're looking for small baseballs, baby dolls
for a girl. School supplies like pens and pencil pads
of paper, Hygiene items like toothbrushes and toothpaste. We're looking
for hard candy. We like to have a little candy
in every shoebox. Gift and a personal note from you
and a photograph.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
From a volunteer's perspective, what's one of the weirdest things
that you've seen go in a box that you had
to take out?
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Absolutely, I can tell you it was. It was a
molded orange and it was green. We had to figure
out what it was. Please don't put anything perishable issue.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Boxes about it. Well, here's Jeff, your husband. We got
him on the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Good morning, Jeff, Good morning.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
How a y'all doing doing?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, buddy, where are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm in Fairfield, Texas?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Now, what's your problem?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Your wife gets up and drive? You got your wife
and your son cave in here too.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Man, if somebody has to stay and make a living,
I'll be there this weekend though.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay, So you are gonna come then, Jeff.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, so how long does it take after the collection
is over? How long does it take to get everything
ready to go?
Speaker 11 (19:51):
But you know, we're typically finished inspecting every shoebox gift
and getting them out the door by the week of Christmas.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (19:57):
But it takes us about twenty twenty five working days
to get through all these shoebox gifts. But it takes
incredible volunteers like Jeff and Karla Jackson, a part of
fifty six thousand volunteers just here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
As and I guess you know, so don't like tape
your boxes up. The best thing to do is just
put a rubber band around. Yes, we'll be able to
open them up and we'll take a quick look at
them and send them down the line. We'll tape them
up at the end so they're secure all the way
to Uyanda or the Ukraine or Dominican Republic, wherever your
shoebox wine.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
I've heard people say I don't have a shoebox, you'll
have one, you can send it. There are some shoe
boxes available from Operation Christmas Child, but you know you
can go over to the houseware section and just pick
up one of those little tupperware boxes and that works
just as well.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
And most shoe stores are looking to get rid of
their shoeboxes. If you're buying a pair of shoes, they
look to get rid of those. So there's plenty of
opportunity to find an empty shoe box out there and
have plenty of opportunity to still participate.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Well, Jeff and Karla a volunteers. Thank for all the
work you' all do. But the thing about it is,
I mean, you know, if you volunteers, you're you're doing
it on a ground level, fill in the shoe box
and getting it in.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
There.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
I just want to say one last thing, and that
is we talk a lot about numbers and a lot
about figures how many shoeboxes we're collecting, but this is
a program that reaches child to child, uh family to family,
from the United States to countries across the globe. It's
very individual. It's it's showing that someone here in the
United States loves these children, that God loves them, that
(21:27):
Jesus loves them. There is an opportunity with every shoebox
gift to show that love. And we hope that your
listeners will participate this week.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Alrighty got until Monday, so let's get it going. Get
your kids out, let them fill up the shoe box.
You know the girls can do the little girls and
the boys little boys. All Right, y'all, let's do it up.
Thank you very much for coming here, Carlin Ran very much.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Everybody would quit trying to save me from smoking? Is
there nothing else going on in the world? You people
can beat you about. Quit thanking me for not doing
something you won't let me do anyway. Everybody's won't hardly
let you smoke anymore. Can't smoke flying anywhere in America.
Oh got to get on one of them international flights
(29:12):
before they'll let you light up. It's pretty sad when
you gotta buy a ticket to East Berlin to give
a taste of freedom and helton. Now they outlaws smoking worldwide.
Ain't like airlines could be worried about anything else? Say, Oh,
I don't know, like not crashing. Tell you what, I
don't worry about my insides? You just keep my outsides
(29:34):
from running into the ground at five.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Hundred miles an hour. How would that be? Makes me
some mad? Oh, you see New York City.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Where's another reason I'll ever set foot in that place.
They done outlaws smoking pretty much anywhere in.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
The city limits. Yeah, oh, I don't want to save
a lot of lives.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
I know. When I think of hazardous things about New
York City, secondhand smoke has just gotta be number one
on the list.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
My big old bucks. Even when you go.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
In some bars nowadays, no smoking and no bar now now,
pour you a half a dozen screaming Nazis. But don't
suck no smoking, he loves Ooh, restaurants ain't sticky in
the back next to the restrooms.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
If you smoke, you wouldn't want to fan nobody.
Speaker 6 (30:20):

your chicken sealing in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's all right, don't mess with him, he might sue you.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Sings to meet people even more upset about smoking than
they are about drunk driving.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That ain't right, feller.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Don't crash into you going down the road after smoking
one too many cigarettes. And when you get right down
to it, people that smoke are just plum more interesting
than people who don't. The ones that hollered the lot
us are buying large and most uptight boring people. Do
you ever run into you notice that nothing more chaps
(30:53):
my butt worse than somebody trying to save you life,
whether you want them to or not. Look at history
people that smoke versus people at dot.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Edward R.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Murrow he smoked, and rather know. Andy Taylor smoked, Barnie
five did Oscar Madison smokes. Felix Unger.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Don't see they're boring.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
I never thought i'd say this, but I think we
need to take a lesson from the HomeOS on this.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
The hum up. That's right, next time telling.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
I'm not smoking, I'm practicing the alternative breath style. I
want to make me up some stickers and say thank
you for not bitching about my smoking. You worry about
what you put in your body.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I'll worry about what I put in mine. I won't
blow it in your face.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
If you'll stay out of mind, shut up and quit
wording my lock. Somebody giving me a lie, John going Bell,
he'll have a nice stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Good morning, the big shows on the radio. So let's
go on this date in history. It was on this
date November twenty first, eighteen seventy seven, inventor Thomas Edison
announced the invention of his hand cranked tenfoil cylinder phonograph,
which he dubbed a talking machine. Edison had been working
on a way to record telegraph messages when he accidentally
(32:25):
discovered that the etchings produced on the wax cylinder reproduced
his voice. This led him to wonder if he could
record telephone messages instead, so on a whim, he spoke
the words to Mary, had a little lamb into the
machine's mouthpiece, and was stunned to discover that his voice
was reproduced by the machine. It'd be full ten years
later before he would market the machine, and although the
(32:47):
phonograph was in part a happy accident, it was Edison's
favorite invention, but it was always peeved that had become
primarily a source for musical recordings, since he had marketed
it to be used as an educational device for the blind.
Speaker 14 (33:01):
Now, is this the one where where the cylinder talks
to him all the time, and then he goes to
show it to somebody and it doesn't do anything, And no.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
You're thinking a little of the singing frog.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
O Maya.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
So he invents this and it calls it a talking machine,
So maybe marketing was.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
In his Yeah, you know for the whole deal. He's
an idea man.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
But I got this is Thomas Edison Museum. You see
if there was an actual recording of it, And it
turns out there was, and this.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Is really the recording from eighteen seventy seven.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Nowe of this John Boy and Billy goofy stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
All right, well, let's let's hear it.

Dot dog d give me a buncey man, But that
is wild, the first ever recorded we hear that.
Speaker 14 (34:06):
Man, I say, you know, they couldn't call it the
talking machine either, because the women already had that copyright.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Mary had a little lamb. She tied him to the
utah every time. Whatever the hell, stop by the sailor man.
Speaker 5 (34:23):

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I think.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one exports.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We all heard about Tom Booley man. He was walking
through the holler trying to make a dollar.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
No, No, that was a different Dooley that was.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Made very good.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He was hanged in our backyard. Tom Dooley wanted what
he's famous for. You've heard the song. He was hanged
in Statesville, North Carolina on this date in eighteen sixty eight,
right down from John Boys, she ever light and Taylorsville.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
A few days earlier, local poet Thomas c. Land composed
a song that went, hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
poor boy, you're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Do we have a little bit of that hanger down
your head? Come to hang down your head?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It sounds like the Smothers Brothers, the Service Department from
CHOHn Bush your bones, You're bone to die. Dooley was
born in eighteen forty five in Elkville, North Carolina, now
Wilkes County. It was known to be handsome, gifted with
a fiddle, and a delight to the lady. When the
(05:53):
recent unpleasantness between the states began, and then seventeen year
old Tom enlisted and served as a regiment music for
four years.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We want to be the bugler.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Toward the end of the war, he was captured and
taken as a prisoner of war.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Not in the face, Not in the face.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When it was released, he returned home and resumed his
on the sly relationship with a married woman named Anne Melton,
I know she's married, and two other women named Laura
and Pauline Foster, who were Anne's cousins, and.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
He was like the Ike Turner of the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I don't know what it is. Chicks just didn't me.
I can't help it. I'm adorable.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
A web of romantic intrigue, jealousy, and spite emerged between
Tom and Laura and Pauline. The activities of this web
came to a conclusion early in eighteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Laura Foster was wakened by Dooley near dawn. Stupid, get up,
you gotta get up. I about mad It.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Doc to old Laura that he planned to marry her
that day. Laura Foster excitedly gathered her best clothes in
her father's horse and left for her rendezvous with Dooley,
who had supposedly gone to meet the Justice of the peace.
I'll be right back, but Laura never met up with Dooley.
She disappeared that same day, only to be found weeks
(07:25):
later murdered and buried in a shallow grave. She had
been stabbed in the heart. Now Dulee, knowing that he
was the last known person to see her alive, fled
to Tennessee, where a posse from Wilkes County eventually found
and returned him to the Wilkes County Jail to face
a jury.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh trial is out of ar.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Trial was moved to Staysville and Tom was sentenced to
be hanged on the gallows with a rope around his neck.
Tom stated, gentlemen, do you see this hand? I didn't
harm a hair on the girl's head, A bunch of
nerve wrack. But this was the dying lie of a
guilty man? Or was it the final words of an
innocent man?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Hmm well.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
In the months to follow, rumors and speculation spread, and
prior to the murder, Dooley had paid separate visits to
Pauline Foster and Anne Melton.
Speaker 9 (08:10):
You don't know, do you?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Reportedly he had confessed that while he loved all three women,
it was Laura that he intended to marry. There were
even witnesses that could support the story. This led to
speculation that the scorned women plotted a murderous encounter with
Laura as she rode to her wedding. Eventually, Anne and
her cousin Pauline Foster were arrested and tried for Laura's
(08:33):
murder or found innocent in a rushed trial.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
This trial happened after they had hung.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Y that's right, where the court had already hung its murderer.
What town would want to be known for hanging innocent
men and women?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I'm already danced.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Perhaps Tom Dooley was not a murderer. Maybe he was
just a broken hearted man who died at the end
of a rope. I'll protecting the secrets of the women
he loved.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I can't do it all.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Graves of the women are visits that each year by
a large number of tourist. Tom Dooley's grave is on
private property not open to the public. Tom Dooley Museum
is located in Ferguson, North Carolina, at the Whipperwill Academy
and Village and is open to the public. How about
that man, Well, y'all think I think he was misunderstood?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Well you will. The parallels are striking, John boyam billy.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I read a book about this short of thing once.
Are you sure it was a book?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Are you sure it wasn't nothing?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Good morning radio, done right?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Good morning, A big show is on the radio. That's
time for dumb, crooked news. I'm crooked news sending by
you big show. Listen, y'all, send a bunch yeomedy, and
we appreciate you. The address will follow this report. Two Chattanooga,
Tennessee pot farmers. We're riding around recently. This will end
(10:25):
badly with two large sacks of newly harvested pot that
needed to be dried out so it could be sold.
Apparently liking the apparatus to do the job themselves, the
men pulled into a local convenience store and one of
them took a bag of pot inside and loaded it
into the store's microwave.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
They don't have a pot button on this lenk.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
In no time, the store was filled with the aroma
of reefers, which called the attention of a uniformed police
officer inside the store. Well, well, the officer who's marked
patrolled car had been parked right out front when the
men arrived, who took the guy to cuss it inside
and said, tell my friend that I'm being arrested. So
(11:08):
he woke him up and found arrested upot in the car.
Rested both of them.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I'll tell you that stuff makey stupid man.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Two teens and Adrian Michigan outfit of the nineteen ninety
seven Dodge Intrepid to look like an unmarked police cruiser. Well,
the youths flashed the cars newly installed blue and white
strobe lights that unsuspecting motorists and pulled him over, then
laughed and drove away. Well, the wacky annex came to
an end earlier this month when the pair pulled over
a white mini van driven by Mike Martin, the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Local chief of police.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Martin, dressing his full uniform, got out of the man,
confiscated the fake cops driver's license, ordered them to follow
him to the police station, where he charged them with
impersonating a police officer.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Yes, being stupid, still not against the law.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
A man strolled into a bank in Tehran, the capital
city of Iran, and began brazenly snatching money from the
hands of customers. The thief was quickly grabbed and subdued
by his victims, which came as quite a surprise since
he thought they.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Couldn't see him. We'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The man told police he had paid a sorcerer five
million rials about six hundred and twenty five American bucks
for a collection of magic spells that would make him
invisible that were not too good. Police are now searching
for the phony sorcerer as an accessory to the crime.
(12:32):
A man facing drug charges in Wassatch County, Utah, hoped
to get a lighter sentence by writing a letter of
apology to the judge in the case, insisting that he
realized his mistake and was sincerely sorry for the crimes.
The man also jotted down a note to his girlfriend,
boasting to her that the apology letter was completely insincere
and just deployed to get him a lighter sentence.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well, well, what could go wrong? Yep?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The defendant put the two letters in the envelopes. The
girlfriend got the apology, and the judge got the one
spelling out. The scam got six years in federal prisons.
Dumb government news or an anniversary tribute to September eleventh victims.
The city of Jersey City, New Jersey, planned to release
a flock of doves at a solemn downtown ceremony. City
(13:20):
officials apparently waited until the last minute to order the
doves and found local suppliers completely sold out.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
They wound up having.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
To replace the doves with a group of pigeons, which
had been caged for almost all of their lives. Well
witnesses at the memorial ceremony watched helpless, liasy, awkward birds
careened into the crowd, smashed into nearby office windows, and
plunged headfirst into the Hudson rivers.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Wow, this thing as easy as it looked.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
It's like the WKRP turkey drop.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Dumb Berkeley News.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
In the summer of two thousand and one, the City
of Berkeley, California, launched an experimental program to improve pedestrian
safety at four local inn sections using bens of orange
flags on the street corners. Now, pedestrians were supposed to
pick up a flag, hold it or wave it while
crossing the street, and then drop it off in the
bend of the opposite corner well. Ten months later, all
(14:14):
three thousand of the flags have been stolen or otherwise disappeared.
The city has spent thirty seven hundred dollars on replacement
flags that are yellow instead of orange. The wide that
might make them less likely to disappear is not clear,
and in true Berkeley fashion, the unsuccessful program is being
expanded to three new intersection.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Good Ideas.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Dumb Union News Teamsters Local nine eighty eight open this
new meeting hall in Houston, Texas to a firestorm of
unfavorable reviews by local construction workers, plumbers, electricians, and other trades.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
The problem well.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
According to the Houston Chronicle, the teamsters had their new
haul built with non union labor because they decided union
work was too expensive. Scud And Finally, James F. Wells,
a sixty one year old writer from Lantana, Florida, was
arrested after he contacted an underage girl on the Internet
(15:14):
and arranged to meet her at a local restaurant. Instead
of a fifteen year old girl, he was greeted at
the eatery by an adult male undercover detective. Mister Wells
literally wrote the book on making dumb moves among his
published works, as one entitled The Story of Stupidity, A
History of Western idiocy from the days of Greece to
(15:35):
the present. If you got dumb crook news, maillet to

a little towel, mean making sound kindly like a cat.
Weren't no bigger than a squirrel. John boy wanted me
to bury him out back under that rock. Well, he
(16:19):
kept crawling out of that towel. After a while, order
let him go, and he crawled off summers. John Boy,

part of the fifty thousand volunteers that are helping us
look through and inspect every shoebox gift that we receive
this week.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow, cool, Carla, how you doing this morning? It's fine,
good morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Man.

That's pretty sweet. Taking time. I guess you have to
take a vacation time or.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Yes, we do. We reserve vacation time every year to
come up here and be with you guys. And everybody's
always friendly up here. We love being up here and
we love the project.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
That is me.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
This is Jeff and Carla sixth year of coming to
Operation Christmas Child.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
That's neat. So when you volunteer, what does that consist of?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Are you ones that actually go through the boxes to
make sure.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Yes, we do a little of everything. We go through
the boxes, We help pack them, we help inspect them.
We just from start to finish, we're there. Whatever we do.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
It remind me next time I complain about have to
drive fifteen minutes to work about garlic, I'll need.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Your home numbers.
Speaker 11 (18:26):
It's the longest commute of anyone I know. She's doing
a great job working with us. This is Collection Week.
This is Thursday of Collection Week. So we're going to
wrap up on Monday, the twenty fifth, collecting your shoe
boxes filled with gifts for children across the world.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Now, well, the collection sites be open on Sunday as well.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
They will be open on Sunday and Monday, so there's
plenty of time. This weekend to do your shopping.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So once again, what needs to go in the boxes?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Very simple items. We're looking for small baseballs, baby dolls
for a girl. School supplies like pens and pencil pads
of paper, Hygiene items like toothbrushes and toothpaste. We're looking
for hard candy. We like to have a little candy
in every shoebox. Gift and a personal note from you
and a photograph.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
From a volunteer's perspective, what's one of the weirdest things
that you've seen go in a box that you had
to take out?
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Absolutely, I can tell you it was. It was a
molded orange and it was green. We had to figure
out what it was. Please don't put anything perishable issue.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Boxes about it. Well, here's Jeff, your husband. We got
him on the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Good morning, Jeff, Good morning.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
How a y'all doing doing?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, buddy, where are you this morning?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm in Fairfield, Texas?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Now, what's your problem?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Your wife gets up and drive? You got your wife
and your son cave in here too.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
Man, if somebody has to stay and make a living,
I'll be there this weekend though.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Okay, So you are gonna come then, Jeff.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, so how long does it take after the collection
is over? How long does it take to get everything
ready to go?
Speaker 11 (19:51):
But you know, we're typically finished inspecting every shoebox gift
and getting them out the door by the week of Christmas.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (19:57):
But it takes us about twenty twenty five working days
to get through all these shoebox gifts. But it takes
incredible volunteers like Jeff and Karla Jackson, a part of
fifty six thousand volunteers just here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
As and I guess you know, so don't like tape
your boxes up. The best thing to do is just
put a rubber band around. Yes, we'll be able to
open them up and we'll take a quick look at
them and send them down the line. We'll tape them
up at the end so they're secure all the way
to Uyanda or the Ukraine or Dominican Republic, wherever your
shoebox wine.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
I've heard people say I don't have a shoebox, you'll
have one, you can send it. There are some shoe
boxes available from Operation Christmas Child, but you know you
can go over to the houseware section and just pick
up one of those little tupperware boxes and that works
just as well.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (20:41):
And most shoe stores are looking to get rid of
their shoeboxes. If you're buying a pair of shoes, they
look to get rid of those. So there's plenty of
opportunity to find an empty shoe box out there and
have plenty of opportunity to still participate.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Well, Jeff and Karla a volunteers. Thank for all the
work you' all do. But the thing about it is,
I mean, you know, if you volunteers, you're you're doing
it on a ground level, fill in the shoe box
and getting it in.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
There.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
I just want to say one last thing, and that
is we talk a lot about numbers and a lot
about figures how many shoeboxes we're collecting, but this is
a program that reaches child to child, uh family to family,
from the United States to countries across the globe. It's
very individual. It's it's showing that someone here in the
United States loves these children, that God loves them, that
(21:27):
Jesus loves them. There is an opportunity with every shoebox
gift to show that love. And we hope that your
listeners will participate this week.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Alrighty got until Monday, so let's get it going. Get
your kids out, let them fill up the shoe box.
You know the girls can do the little girls and
the boys little boys. All Right, y'all, let's do it up.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Everybody would quit trying to save me from smoking? Is
there nothing else going on in the world? You people
can beat you about. Quit thanking me for not doing
something you won't let me do anyway. Everybody's won't hardly
let you smoke anymore. Can't smoke flying anywhere in America.
Oh got to get on one of them international flights
(29:12):
before they'll let you light up. It's pretty sad when
you gotta buy a ticket to East Berlin to give
a taste of freedom and helton. Now they outlaws smoking worldwide.
Ain't like airlines could be worried about anything else? Say, Oh,
I don't know, like not crashing. Tell you what, I
don't worry about my insides? You just keep my outsides
(29:34):
from running into the ground at five.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Hundred miles an hour. How would that be? Makes me
some mad? Oh, you see New York City.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Where's another reason I'll ever set foot in that place.
They done outlaws smoking pretty much anywhere in.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
The city limits. Yeah, oh, I don't want to save
a lot of lives.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
I know. When I think of hazardous things about New
York City, secondhand smoke has just gotta be number one
on the list.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
My big old bucks. Even when you go.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
In some bars nowadays, no smoking and no bar now now,
pour you a half a dozen screaming Nazis. But don't
suck no smoking, he loves Ooh, restaurants ain't sticky in
the back next to the restrooms.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
If you smoke, you wouldn't want to fan nobody.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Yeah, but a fella with age could be whooping up
your chicken sealing in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's all right, don't mess with him, he might sue you.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Sings to meet people even more upset about smoking than
they are about drunk driving.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That ain't right, feller.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Don't crash into you going down the road after smoking
one too many cigarettes. And when you get right down
to it, people that smoke are just plum more interesting
than people who don't. The ones that hollered the lot
us are buying large and most uptight boring people. Do
you ever run into you notice that nothing more chaps
(30:53):
my butt worse than somebody trying to save you life,
whether you want them to or not. Look at history
people that smoke versus people at dot.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Edward R.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Murrow he smoked, and rather know. Andy Taylor smoked, Barnie
five did Oscar Madison smokes. Felix Unger.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Don't see they're boring.

need to take a lesson from the HomeOS on this.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
The hum up. That's right, next time telling.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
I'm not smoking, I'm practicing the alternative breath style. I
want to make me up some stickers and say thank
you for not bitching about my smoking. You worry about
what you put in your body.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I'll worry about what I put in mine. I won't
blow it in your face.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
If you'll stay out of mind, shut up and quit
wording my lock. Somebody giving me a lie, John going Bell,
he'll have a nice stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Good morning, the big shows on the radio. So let's
go on this date in history. It was on this
date November twenty first, eighteen seventy seven, inventor Thomas Edison
announced the invention of his hand cranked tenfoil cylinder phonograph,
which he dubbed a talking machine. Edison had been working
on a way to record telegraph messages when he accidentally
(32:25):
discovered that the etchings produced on the wax cylinder reproduced
his voice. This led him to wonder if he could
record telephone messages instead, so on a whim, he spoke
the words to Mary, had a little lamb into the
machine's mouthpiece, and was stunned to discover that his voice
was reproduced by the machine. It'd be full ten years
later before he would market the machine, and although the
(32:47):
phonograph was in part a happy accident, it was Edison's
favorite invention, but it was always peeved that had become
primarily a source for musical recordings, since he had marketed
it to be used as an educational device for the blind.
Speaker 14 (33:01):
Now, is this the one where where the cylinder talks
to him all the time, and then he goes to
show it to somebody and it doesn't do anything, And no.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
You're thinking a little of the singing frog.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
O Maya.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
So he invents this and it calls it a talking machine,
So maybe marketing was.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
In his Yeah, you know for the whole deal. He's
an idea man.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
But I got this is Thomas Edison Museum. You see
if there was an actual recording of it, And it
turns out there was, and this.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Is really the recording from eighteen seventy seven.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Nowe of this John Boy and Billy goofy stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
All right, well, let's let's hear it.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Nelly, I love well the furry.
Speaker 1 (33:42):

Dot dog d give me a buncey man, But that
is wild, the first ever recorded we hear that.
Speaker 14 (34:06):

talking machine either, because the women already had that copyright.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Mary had a little lamb. She tied him to the
utah every time. Whatever the hell, stop by the sailor man.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
