Hey buddy, all right, man, bringing everybody up to date.
That about the Major League Baseball We will put that
off because your good friend John Feinstein just passed away

(00:24):
at early man at the age of sixty nine.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Man, John Feinstein was a good friend of mine, and
it's stunned me. It just stunned me.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I know it did, buddy. So we'll we'll get back
to baseball, of course, but you did. We were talking
about John last November. I think I had Taytor look
it up and maybe we could run that again. When
you did that, you told me you had a story
about him that you would not do when he was
still alive. I know this. This did shake you up.

(00:55):
And you've been bombarded by the media since he passed away.
Of course, you know you were his agent four time,
a good friend for for a long while. How did
the media seek you out?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Buddy?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm on his Wikipedia page talking about that movie that
I took to la for and of course that become
makes you a target. And yeah, I had a whole
lot of calls and I just turned my phone off
for a day to give myself some time, and then
I returned most of the phone calls of the media,

(01:29):
not everybody. But yeah, it's like I said, it's it's
it's a stunner. I mean. I met him in seventy
seven when I was in pr for the Washington Diplomats
and he was the intern from Duke uh and uh
so you know this is the story. He really didn't like,

(01:50):
but he would be okay with this today, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
He always wanted me to write a book and I
didn't want to book too many people to have to die.
I think I've already said, but I talk about so
many people. And he was very playful with me, and
we go back and forth and back and forth. But
at one time he got very aggressive and very angry

(02:18):
at me, like I owed him this that could be John.
He was a reporter and he was pushy but with me.
So I hung up on him. And about three weeks
later I called him and I said, anyway, so you're
a Mets fan, right, He goes sure, I said, tell
you what I'm coming to New York and we're gonna

(02:42):
go to Yankees game Yankees hosting the Mets. You're gonna
come to New York? I said, how else would I
take you to Yankee Stadium? So we get in there
and I have I called Joe Tory in the afternoon.
He didn't know this. So we get in there and go, hey,
let's go see Joe if he's in. I said, Terry,
I've never met Joe one on one, but then giggles

(03:04):
and I said, well, let's give it a shot. So
I walk in there, and Joe, of course knows what's
going on here, and he tells John he's his favorite writer,
and John says to him, your favorite manager. And then
I finally say to Joe, Joe, do you have that
placard that you used to hang in every club hosp
where you ever managed? He goes yeah, because he was

(03:25):
ready for it. Yeah, I got it. So I went
and picked it up and brought it to his desk
and he looked at it and John said, what is that?
He goes here, John read this out loud, and John says, okay,
well it says what you see here, what you hear here?
What you say here. What you do here stays here

(03:45):
when you leave here. And then Joe stood up and
called him by a nickname he didn't like. He said, so, Junior,
this is why Hanson will never do a flipping book
with you. So we get outside, go into our seats,
and John said to me, you set me up. And

(04:08):
I said, do you think I'm capable of that? He said,
of course, that's that's.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Actually Handsoon's superpowers. Everybody thinks he's not, Oh, but he is.

Speaker 2 (04:22):

Speaker 2 (04:29):
We talked just two weeks ago. And when Joe died,
he he called me. He was very close to him
and was very upset. And I appreciated John for everything
he did for me.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
How many books did he write terry forty forty eight
forty eight books?

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
And the thing about it is uh, And I was
surprised to see it. I don't know if it happened
in every book. He would always put Patty and I
any acknowledgments, and which was very nice to him to do.
And then I said to him another time, you know
some books have a thing at the end of the
book and they have people's names and has what names,
what page they're on. John says, I'll never do that.

(05:11):
I said, why these people would read my book to
just go look up their name and quit?

bumper at a stoplight. The driver gets out and he
was a dwarf. He came up to the window and
tapped on a glass. He said, I am not happy.
I said, really, which one are you drumpy man no
sense of humor. He had a short fuse. I just
threw that one in there. Well, this debt ceiling thing

(12:25):

screaming if the debt ceiling isn't raised, the government would
cease to function. Here's a question, how could you tell

TLDF talk later depends for T t YL talk to you,

rolling on the floor laughing, can't get up.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
So Sheila and I we've been traveling lately. We went
to England.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
You gotta be careful in these restaurants in some of
these countries, especially Great Britain. You know, right after someone
over there invents the toothbrush, they're gonna work on the
refrigerator hole warm beer. What the hell is that they
headed to you? It's like a specimen in a glass.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I'll say that.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
We go into this little eatery there and we're looking
at the menu and I'm telling you right now, it's
like gerbils in a basket. I don't know what the
hell to order. I tell them, why that? Okay, give
me a steak. He kind of rolls his eyes. He says,
what about the mad cow? I said, I think she
can order for herself. And my pal Lenny Bloomquist, Oh
he went to Paris. Oh yeah, went on and on
about how beautiful the Eiffel Tower was, all the exquisite

(14:59):
art at the Louver, the Majesty of Notre Dame Cathedral
had a cause of beautiful French women, on and on
and on. I said, all right, enough, already, is there
anything you didn't like about France? Lenny said, well, you know,
there was one odd thing that I never got over
in France. Anything you eat, anything you drink, even the
air that you breathe over there, it totally cleans out
your colon, and I mean really cleans you out. I said, gee,

(15:20):
with France like that, who needs enemus? Oh that was
a long way to go put on like staying to
see the end of a laryatic cable.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Guy moving that right now? All right, I'll make it
up to you. This is a classic.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
This woman she finds out that a dog is hard
of hearing it. She could hardly hear, so she took
the dog to the vet. The vet says, well, your
problem is the hair in the dog's ears. It's like
ray for it on steroids. And he cleaned both ears
and bengled the dog in here. Fine, the vet said, listen,
keep this from happening again. Go to the store. Get
some of that nair hair remover, you know. And then

(15:54):
all I shaid do was rubbing in the dog's ears
once a month. Everything would be fine. So she went
to the drug store and got the narrative. Pharmacist said, now, listen,
if you're gonna use this under your arms, don't use
deodorant for a couple of days. She said, no, it's
not front of my arms. Pharmacist said, look, if you're
gonna use it on your legs, don't use body lotion
for a couple of days. She goes, look, it's not
for my legs either. If you must know, I'm using

(16:14):
it on my schnauz. The pharmacist says, well, stay off
your bicycle.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
For about a week. So long, everybody Schnauzer. Jaun Boy
and Billy Morning Radio. Dumb right, good morning, it's a

(17:02):

Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
On a.

Speaker 9 (17:13):
What was that we do.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Maybe that was warning, but I was finking to say,
there's no way we can lose the games.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
But if we're not playing, Oh, I thought you were
trying to cover up a whole bunch.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Of explicative Ye yourself, mister Rubarm's going to handle that, Okay,
in just a couple of minutes.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
All right, while we wait on that zact.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Hello friends, you're old help Burtburn here with another gut
bubbling edition of John Boy and Billy Playhouse today's episode
The Verdict. As our story opens, professional ambulance chaser Max
Sentence is making his closing argument before Judge Judy Moran. Look,
you're honor, the evidence against my client is entirely circumstantial.

(17:59):
He may have his finger prince, his DNA, his driver's license,
security camera footage of my client leaving the scene of
the crime, the murder weapon at the alleged murder weapon,
a couple of untrustworthy eyewitnesses, and yes, even my client's confession.
But what you don't have is the body of the victim.
You all merely presume the victim is dead, for without

(18:20):
the body, you have no proof, and with no proof,
there is reasonable doubt. The alleged victim is truly deceased,
and therefore my client deserves a verdict of not guilty
and scene.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
Counselor, you've been rattling off at the yeap, but for
about twenty minutes. Are we close to bottling the ends?
Or does this monologue have an act.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Too, your honor? I am nearly finished, But first I have.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
A little surprise for you.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
You're not gonna do that pick a cod any cod
thing again, are you?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh? Look it be.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Are you gonna ask me to guess another one of
your oppressions?

Speaker 3 (18:53):
No, but I do a great Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
I'm not interested. Let's just wrap this up. It's almost
lunch time.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Well, if you're looking for a recommendation, I know a
place that serves the best stuffed cabbage in the Tri
County area.

Speaker 8 (19:05):
Who enough, finish your summation or I'll find you in contempt.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
All right, all right, all right, you're forcing me to
play my big card, your honor.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
In a moment, the alleged.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Victim will walk through that door. The very person presumed
dead will stroll in here alive and well, and you
and the prosecution will have egg on your face.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
All right, come in.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
Well, where is he?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
He's not here, but everyone turned to see if he
would enter the court. Therefore, there is reasonable doubt. The
defense rests, and thank you. All right, the.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
Court finds your client guilty.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
What wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
You must have some doubt everyone staring at that door.

Speaker 8 (20:01):
Yes, we were all looking, but your client wasn't, son
of U.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
And we hope you've enjoyed John Boy and Billy playhouse.

Speaker 7 (20:17):
Look a here, where is this place? With a stuffed cabbage?

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Do that next time when we'll hear the attorney's impression
of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Say, hey, big man, let me hold a dollar.

Boy and Belly on the big show.

Speaker 4 (20:42):

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Good morning, it's a big show on the radio. I
told you, packed man. Don't have some tips for you
filling out your brackets? Tip off in the first four
tonight and we got the packed man in minutes.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
But first is mister Rubar. Thank you gim me to beat.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Hello Americans. I'm mister and this is mister Rubarb.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Slice of Life.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Last week I had to go down to the courthouse
to file a law suit. Really, I'm suing the guy
that did some work on my sewer system.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
It's a sewer suit. That's a sewer I say that funny.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Y'all say it like y'all don't live there every morning.
In case you're wondering, I've been having trouble with this
Jack Leg plumber that worked on my leaky toilet.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Oh. I got his number for mader Man.

Speaker 7 (22:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Looking back on it, I guess that should have been
a red flag. Well, Jack Leg the plumber replaced the
whole toilet, but the lake only got worse. I've been
going round and round with this idiot for weeks. Finally
I decided to take him to court over what people
in the plumbing profession call a really crappy job. So

(22:38):
I get to court and the case right before me
is this real young kid that was petitioning the judge
for a change of custody.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Would you like to hear about it.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, okay, Well, the deal is his mom died when
he was eight years old.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
His dad had to raise him all alone.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Dad loved him, but he was kind of a drinker
and had a bad time, not a real good combination
for a parent.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Sometimes he'd get a little rough with the kid.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
So the kid went to court and asked to have
his custody transferred from his dad to his aunt Rose,
his dad's sister. Turns out, Aunt Rose was kind of
a drinker in a.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Hot head too.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
She smacked him around just like his dad had done.
So the boy was back in court for the third
time to get himself transferred again. The judge said, well,
this is kind of unusual, but I'll take a look
at it. He asked the boy who he wanted to
live with. The boy said, well, do you know who
the Carolina Panthers are? The judge said, sheer, which one

(23:40):
of them are you talking about? The boy said, not
one of them, all of them. The judge couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
All of them. Son, are you saying.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
You want me to put you in the custody of
the entire Carolina Panthers football team?

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Why? The boy said, well, judge. It's like this. My
dad used to beat on me. I got tired of that,
so I went to live with my aunt. Then she
beat on me too.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
That's why I want to live with the Carolina Panther
wait for it, because from what I've seen this year,
they never beat anybody the bump bump.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
That's what Marty would do if he was.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
And that's it for this edition of Mister Rubarb Slice

Speaker 5 (25:32):
I didn't think they were going to get in. In
all likelihood, they were won in twelve o'clock one games,
but you know, the bubble was soft. They were in
a whole lot of surprises in the tournaments. And Bubba Cunningham,
the director of athletics at North Carolina's classic smart dude.
He's the chairman of the basketball committee, and he's got
to be front center and announces that North Carolina's in
as the last team, and you would have thought, man,

West Virginia didn't get And I'll be honest with you,
I thought West Virginia was gonna get a bed, but
they didn't, so now they're gonna sue them again. I

all right, we'll give you some tips if you haven't

(26:41):
figured it out already. I mentioned the first four gets
started to night. Carolina plays San Diego State tonight. By
the way, San Diego State zero to five in the
tournament is a double digit seed. These are a pair
of eleven seeds, but the first four. Now listen, twelve
of the last thirteen tournaments, somebody comes out of this

(27:01):
first four and advances to the second round. So when
you're figuring out all these games, like tomorrow night, you
got Xavier in Texas playing in the first four game,
one of these teams might get hot. It wouldn't surprise
me if Carolina won the night and then beat Old
mess over the weekend. So yeah, just if you're starting
to figure out who's going to go here, it is
all right. Here's the other thing. A top four seed
a right has lost in the first round in fifteen

(27:25):
of the last sixteen tournaments. Top four seed. Wow, double
digit seeds. That's ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixty
double digit seeds have gotten to the sweet sixteen in
each of the last sixteen tournaments. So when you're figuring
this out, they're gonna be some of the double digit
all likelihood making a deep run, win a couple of games.

(27:47):
If you're thinking, off, screw that pack. All four number
one seeds are going to go to the final four.
It's happened only one time since we expanded the tournament
back in eighty five to sixty four teams. Only one
time have all four number one seeds made it to
the final four, and that was in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
If you're thinking, hey, I got a sleeper, could be
a Clark Kellog the other day picked Clemson to go
to the National Championship game. The Tigers are a five seed.
A five seed has never won the NCAA Tournament ever,
so that means Clemson, Michigan, Memphis, Oregon, they're all five seeds.
If that holds true, they got no shot. And one
other thing. The SEC has been the dominant league in

(28:27):
college basketball all season long. They put fourteen teams in
the tournament. But John Boyd SEC has not had a
top three seed. That means you even have one, A two,
or three beside your name. That'd be Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Bama, Kentucky.
They got five teams that are in that front. In
that category, the SEC has not had a top three

(28:50):
seed make the final four in ten.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Years, Maya.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
So when you're starting to figure all this stuff out,
I've just giving you some trends. Give me some trends
when you start trying to figure out the bracket, because
it starts tonight and you're good to go. If you're
looking for a pick, I'm gonna go with the two
teams that I think are the two best teams in
college basketball. I think they're gonna be on two left
standing in San Antonio. Give me Duke and Florida for

(29:16):
the national champions Oh.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Duke in Florida for the National Championship.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
All right, well, I waited to fill my bracket out
that we talked to you this morning. So I'm going
double digit. Look for a double digit and three out
of the four number one seeds.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, you know you already have.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
But that's all right. I tell you this. By Friday,
you will have thrown your bracket and the trash and
even denied and said I never even filled one out.
It'll be completely screwed up. I promise you. Here's the
other thing. You gotta start figuring out where in the
world True TV is on your dial because they're gonna
have games on True TV every year. We have no

(29:57):
idea when nobody watches that network for until we get
to March Madness. There True TV. You figure that out
where it is when you're down. I don't know where
you're on the cable, but that they're gonna have some
of the games.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
So there you go. You have to speak.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
You're good to go. Good stump pack. Well let's see
what happens. Had plays out this week, buddy, we'll catch
up next week.

Speaker 3 (30:16):

Here you go, Sam on.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
The phone again.

Speaker 9 (36:27):
Everybody is on the phone again, ignoring all their real
life family and friends. They came wait to get on
the phone again. On the phone again, caught in a
big group text that never ends, always tying up. Just

(36:48):
one more quick loose and everybody is on the phone again.
On the phone again, like a bunch is on me
shuffling down Lives High.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
It's the latest trend.

Speaker 9 (37:03):
So give all of your fake friends one more quick
look on the Facebook, on the phone again, typing the
message out and hitting send. Most folks I know are
going right around the bend. Everybody is on the phone again,

(37:40):
on the phone.

Speaker 10 (37:40):
Again with their brains and neutral texting down the highway,
spend the whole weekend, give it all there. But it's
one more quick look on the Facebook, on the phone again,
new tweets and Instagram they gotta send.

Speaker 9 (38:02):
This world ain't never a gone to be the same again.
Folks can't wait to get on the phone again. No,
they just can't wait to get on the phone again.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Good morning, It's a make show on the radio for
you Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I feature track from the Big Box, keyword resigned. We'll
get you this bit hit the Big Show.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Dot com letters, Oh good letters.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
You get your letter?

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Why don't wait.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
It?

Speaker 3 (39:14):
I love those letters? All right, Jackie, what you got baby?

Speaker 7 (39:27):
All right?

Speaker 6 (39:27):
Here's an official letter to the Entourage review Board from
Ron Thigpen aka Officer Ron Thigybear made her head and stupid.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
I've got trouble with him before.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
There's good news and bad news. Subject official resignation. He's
leaving Johnny. Oh, okay, here we go. As most of
you know, in my callow youth, I let personal circumstances
interfere with my official mission, the constant well being and
personal happiness of John Boy, and was relieved of my position.
You guys remember that he got thrown out. It didn't

(40:02):
take long for me to realize the era of my ways.
After a series of official apologies and a lengthy appeals process,
I was reinstated to the coastal division of the Entourage,
reduced in rank from maderhead to stupid. Not long after that,
I'm hat a wonderful and beautiful girl. Our relationship has

(40:22):
grown to the point that we have become engaged and
planned to marry in September. Remembering that this again places
me in direct violation of Chapter three, sub Section four
and five of the Official Handbook, I am left with
no choice but to reluctantly tender my official resignation. Most
of my personal career achievements are directly related to my

(40:43):
time in mister Boy's service. For example, becoming the police
Department's first motorcycle officer. Some might say it was due
to my hard work, dedication and expertise. Actually it's because
of the time John Boy let me borrow his own
personal motorcycle. The hours I spent washing wax, scraping bugs
from the wind shield, and storing the motorcycle in my

(41:04):
personal garage gave me the crucial knowledge I needed to
be able to keep a complex.

Speaker 7 (41:09):
Machine in perfect condition.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Well, all the police department had to do was teach
me how to actually ride one, since that was the
only part of taking care of mister Boy's motorcycle I
was not allowed to do. I later had the opportunity
to become a firearms instructor. You might think it was
because of the knowledge and skills I possessed, You would
be wrong. The real secret was all those times mister

(41:33):
Boy went on hunting adventures with his friends and let
me borrow his guns upon his return. The endless hours
of disassembling, cleaning, and occasionally repairing these weapons changed my life.
Even though he never allowed me to actually fire any
of these guns, mister Boy gave me something much more valuable,
a crash course in how to maintain them. All the

(41:54):
police Department once again had to do, was to teach
me how to actually shoot it. Of course, he wasn't
allowed to shoot, mister boys. This is a job that
involves arranging transportation, making reservations, dealing with airport schedules, tracking luggage,
car maintenance, boat maintenance, pet care, household clean up, and

(42:17):
occasional excex body.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Duties which are subject to.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Complete change at less than a moment's notice.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
You'll think.

Speaker 6 (42:30):
The stress level could well exceed that of any top
position with a fortune five hundred company. This is no
doubt why many past members of the entourage, the ones
who didn't end up as babbling basket cases, have become
successful business owners in their own right. Many of them
have even entourages of their own and the Lion King
I believe they call that the circle of life.

Speaker 7 (42:53):
Oh, this is good and closing.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
I would like to commend mister boy for his vast
insight and wisdom and dealing with the opposites.

Speaker 7 (43:00):
Hmmm.

Speaker 6 (43:01):
I will always treasure a piece of sage wisdom he
once offered. Though the music was loud and his breath
was heavy with nacho cheese and grilling sauce, I can
still quote it from memories. May I use his voice,
Shaw Thiggy, I've seen you through an awful lot of
relationships and you're an idiot when it comes to long
term deal. I don't know how anybody like you got her,

(43:25):
So don't screw it up.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
And remember this.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
When you're about to say something, do or say the opposite,
because whatever you've been doing up to now, it ain't working.
I have lived by those words for the past two years,
and I'm happy to say he was absolutely right. In
just a few weeks I will be getting married and
mister boy would be serving as my best man.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
How sweet of you to let him go like that.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of
such challenging and life changing institution. I hope that those
who come after me will find it as rewarding as
I did to them. I say, mister Boyd, I found
his Robert Old King can hugger, and that the red
ice chest has a broken hinge and we'll probably need repair.

(44:09):
Yours truly, Officer Ryan Thigpen.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
I would like to say, with mixed emotions, congratulations to Thiggy,
because looks like he is running out of time to
screw this one up. And Peyton is Fyonce is a
baby doll as he is way over mounted, so it
looks hey, hey.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Hey, hey, hey, you can't talk out a way about
his fils.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
And now he's out of the authorage.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I honestly say I know how he's felt all this
time because through this relationship, with the time and money
that I have put into the upkeep and maintenance of
his fiance, and he's never let me use it or write.
