Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good more than it's a big show on the radio
one more time, A John Boy, Billy.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Stick, Harris, Hannah, Karen Big Sam, the Jokester, Chayter Billy,
Maddy Doodles.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Donnie Preshley, Randy and No Jackie just ran out.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
The door for some reason. John Labor and Jolly.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The father of my Son's here, my three sons, Hey
listen to a TV show. Couldn't seen it? Oh man,
I want to thank you all for all the letters
from email, however they've gotten to us. It's a stack
that we had this morning. Of course, wish you could
read all of them. Just a couple off the top.
(01:12):
I want to read here, man, so I says from
Jeremy Winters. Hopefully this message gets to who it needs to.
But I've listened to the show off and on for
thirty years now. I was just a teenage kid back then,
thinking I had life by the horns. But as we
all know, we never know what's coming at us. Long
story long. In January of two thousand, my parents split
(01:33):
up after being married for twenty three years. Yep, life happened.
My father was rocked, and this once joyous, outgoing look
on life was shaken to its core. The man whom
I never saw show emotion crumbled as time went on.
He did whatever he could to keep the rest of
the family together and keep making memories as we grew.
It was hard, but like so many families, you'd take
it and move forward. Dad's favorite holiday was always Christmas.
(01:56):
He was a deeply religious man who found it hard
to celebrate for obvious reasons. My brother and myself tried
to keep everything normal about Christmas and even took him
out to cut down a tree. And this is where
the big show brought Christmas back to my family. We
went to decorate that tree, and my brother slipped the
John Boy and Billy Christmas album into the seedy changer
(02:16):
without my father's knowing. All of a sudden, we go
from listening to Christmas classics of years gone by to
the ever so familiar tone of a guitar strumming, and
the most horrible rendition of blue Christmas came across the speakers,
paired with John boys uncontrollable laugh in his background. Our
father looked at us in disbelief that we would mess
with Christmas and told us to turn that off. We
(02:39):
took the batteries out of his remote and forced him
to listen while we continued decorating. His face went from
disgust to beat red with laughter, to shake in his
head when he heard Christmas Balls. The following year, we
did the same thing all over again and to see
the look of shot come across his face to the
album and how we got him again. This is what
(03:01):
we continued doing for the next couple of years with
him and Christmas, and each year he came out of
his fog and the John Boy and Milly Christmas Album
became part of our annual tradition with him until we
lost him in six I've never been able to get
through to the show at Christmas to tell you the
story and say thank you. Since this is year it
is twenty years since our last Christmas with him, I
(03:23):
wanted to try one more time for you guys retire.
The John Boy and Milly Christmas Album continues to be
part of tradition with my wife and two kids. You
brought Christmas back to my small town Georgian family and
helped heal wounds from a family torn apart. Thank you,
Thank you for the humor, Thank you for the years,
Thank you for mad Max, Red Hot, Talent Hot and Duble,
(03:43):
Jackie Marsha, the whole gang. Let's not forget mister Rayford. Sincerely,
Jeremy Winters, all right, wow, yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Know, and.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You never know what's going on out there, you know.
I'm glad Jeremy got in touch with us about it.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
How many times have we heard stories like that too?
The family that was taking one of their relatives to
get cancer treatment every day, Yes, and they turned the
show on and that was the only thing that brightened
their day.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That And remember one it was one time like going
there and the mom or dads might have been another
one that was laughing and that got tickled on the
way and the doctor said, you know, blood pressure was load.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
What's the deal? Said, I don't think I've been doing
anything different, So I laughed. On the way over here,
he said, well keep doing that.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I said, that's the way to get a listener, you know.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Hook, Yes, yes, I talk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
All right, one more quick here, Okay, let's say here
wa ooh wah. I heard unsettling news recently that The
Big Show is shutting down a year's end. I hope
this is nonsense and just a clever maneuver to hold
out for more money and more vacation. Is it possible
for you guys to actually get more vacation than you
already do. I'm certain that only Congress had figured out
(05:02):
a way to take four to six months of recess
per year. If you leave, please go into syndicated reruns.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Please.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The Andy Griffith Show hadn't left the air for sixty years,
and I'm sure the Big Show can beat that record.
What am I supposed to do if you leave the
air completely? There are no others. I can't recall when
I became a Big Show addict. It was years ago. Somehow,
what you've created is like a religion or cult. My family,
friends and co workers know. I quote almost entirely from
(05:31):
four secular Gospels, the Andy Griffith Show, Seinfeld, Clint Eastwood movies,
and The Big Show. It does surprise me that they
haven't subjected me to an intervention yet. I have enjoyed
so many good times with Hoyton, Delbert, married man I Turner,
Reverend Billy Ray Collins, Gaitarr O'Reilly, Mongo, Swisher, Carl and Belinda,
(05:52):
the Big Girl from the Dollar Store, Granny klump, mister
Yaqui soda astor. And there are John Boy with his trumpet,
Randy fight and a chipmunk Randy's dog said utter, John
Bo ordering room service, and many many more. I may
have never heard of Tim Wilson or James Gregory without
you guys. My father is a great lover of the
Andy Griffith Show. He is convinced that Barney Fife and
Floyd de Barber have done more to bring about peace,
(06:14):
joy and goodwill on earth than all the popes or
the United Nations ever have.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Dido, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The Big Show has achieved the same as Barney and Floyd.
I love you all, Thanks for all you've done for
me and many others. Well done. Better yet, keep up
the good work. All the best of you all. If
you see Goober later on, tell him, I say, Paxton Grant,
all right, thank you very much, Paxington.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one export.
Speaker 10 (07:22):
Welcome to John Boy and Billy Playhouse. Today's episode Santa's
Flight Check. As our story opens, it's a bustling week
before Christmas at the North Pole headquarters of Santa Claus.
Speaker 11 (07:35):

we can get something under the Christmas trees.

thousand elms.

Oh guys, been on the naughty listens to mid seventies.

It's so hard to understand, you.
Speaker 13 (10:12):
Know what this is. Basically this is a bendetta.
Speaker 17 (10:15):
God really wouldn't know anything about that, sir, but regulations
clearly state that if you have a movie violation on
your record, you are required to take a flight desk
flight No, I'm afraid so, sir. Otherwise I can't clearly
operate in American airspace on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
Oh sorry, Bobby, Santa couldn't bring in that new bike
you wanted because he was all tied up in federal
red day.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Mister class, I don't make the rules. This is really

Right Christmas, Chris, Frank Christens Mary Christmas.
Speaker 18 (12:20):
Happy, Good morning radio, dumb right, good morning.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Beg Jew's on the radio, A little bites and more.
I got it, okay, action.
Speaker 19 (12:58):
I remember when I was a kid, Christmas meant TV specials.
It's back when we only had three channels. Andy Williams,
Perry Como, Dean Martin. All fantastic kids nowadays. And I
don't appreciate the Great American Variety Show. And no one
did it better than Ed Sullivan. As John Boy would say,
he wasn't the prettiest thing a man.
Speaker 13 (13:18):
He just rocked.
Speaker 19 (13:19):
And since we're getting close to Christmas, I'm going to
give myself a present. And here it is from the
home office in Mary Amsterdam's cello closet. Right behind Tody
Field's leg comes the top ten movie quotes, as read
by Ed Sullivan. Number ten, say hello to my little
friend Tapoo gig. Number nine. The census taker once tried
(13:44):
to test me. I ate his liver with some fava
beans and a nice caanty.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Number eight.
Speaker 19 (13:54):
Some folks call it a kaiser blade. I calls it
a sling blade. Number seven, and stay out of the
Woolsworth number six badges. We don't need no stinking badges.
(14:15):
Number five Cinderella Story out of nowhere. Former greenskeeper now
about to become the Master's champion. It looks like a miracle.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It's in the hole. It's in the hole. Number four.
Speaker 19 (14:32):
Somebody's gonna need to go back to town and get
a buttload of dimes. Number three. We're gonna need a
bigger boot, really big boats. Number two. I'll be back
after a word from our sponsor. And the number one
(14:54):
movie quote said by Ed Sullivan. I'm not an actor,
damn you, I'm a movie st.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Good morning, that's a big show on the radio. You're
going off to live with a final hour the last
new big show will have some archive encoores all the
way through the end of the year for y'all. Where
you're listening to us right now, there be some new
morning shows taking some over, taking over some of these
(15:35):
radio stations.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Give him a shot, y'all. Keep me right here.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Okay, obviously we didn't really think this all the way
right here.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
That's coming from the heart because you don't have anywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Else you can get the sentiment.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Well, me and Billy talking about man, we need to
play one fine little bit and what's it gonna be?
So well agreed, let's go back to one of the
earliest ever. I think this might have been the first
one that we did together, besides that stupid one where
we got in the elevator.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It was probably about in the first week that we
work together.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, that sounds right. So, and I mentioned this earlier.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You know, I met Billy the evening okay, me and
my wife, he's here right now. We got married Saturday afternoon,
and then we came to Charlotte because I was interviewing
for the morning job.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
So this is from the guy who fired me twice.
So I was a night job.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So he says, gonna hire me to do mornings and
I said, I don't know whether that can be funny
in the mornings. And he said, we'll just be there
and we'll just see what happened.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
And when he talked to me, he said, this is
what I want you to get in here.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So that was a hard job.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, And Billy applied for the same job. And Kagan
heard of some stuff that Billy did put on. It
was end of your air check, is right, some fake
commercials that you had written and did. And then he says,
saw man that he said, all right, had already had
it in his mind because he had you at the
station and we met.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
We had never met. He paired us up and he said,
this is going to be a great match.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
He knew I no, he did so.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Uh And then unfortunately he died suddenly at age thirty
thirty four. Was he thirty four thirty four with a
heart condition that he never knew had?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, and he was really a fit guy, and I
think he died.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
They're hiking hiking on like an Appalachian trailer. Yeah, yeah, h.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
That's something man and he never saw the really success
that we had because we were still together. And then
he moved on to Tampa and he was going to
take us to Tampa with him. We're going to leave Charlotte.
And then the that station got sold and they said
John Watton, who I don't think how much we don't
believe now.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I was in the room when they said it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
That's right because Gagan took Randy with him round down
the table. So we didn't and it worked out for
the best. Like I said, me and Eddie always said, man,
we could have never have planned this out. It was
all thank the Lord, you know, we could have never
I mean syndication, I mean we were the first one
(18:21):
there was. But yeah, basically yeah, basically it was.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Stern and was not syndicating.
Speaker 20 (18:27):
He was simulcasting's okay, But we were the first one
to do it with music. And we were the first
nationally syndicated morning radio show in the country.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Period, that's crazy and uh yeah, all right, so uh man,
that's something and now we're the.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Last well I got off phone out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So anyway, the first bit that me and Billy did
this really you know, drive through windows.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
How long ago. This was they were really just getting popular.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Absolute Yeah, so o, guys, we took it with our humor.

We got the teams. Let's go play. But as expected,
(23:43):
Miami and A and M was a great game. The
Hurricanes go down to College Station. They win the game,
and that was the ACC's first college football playoff win
this decade. It's been forever when Dabo and the Tigers
won a bunch of games in national championships. In Miami
wins their first college football playoff game. They eliminate the
(24:03):
SECS Texas, A and M. And then of course Alabama
was down seventeen to Oklahoma. They rallied, they knocked out Oklahoma.
The Sooners now zero and five all time in the
college football Playoff and for blue Blood, that is a
tough deal man. Oklahoma kicked to the curb. So it
sets up John Boy games for New Year's Eve and
(24:23):
New Year's Day in the playoff, and you're gonna have
on New Year's Eve the Cotton Bowl Miami in Ohio State.
If you remember, way way way back in January of
two thousand and three, they played for the national championship.
It was a controversial game. Miami's a defending national champs.
They thought they won the game in overtime, controversial interference call.
(24:45):
Ohio State got second life and ended up winning the
game in Miami. Hurricane fans for twenty two years have
been waiting for an opportunity for a little revenge. So
we get that game on New Year's Eve, Miami and
Ohio State and the Cotton Bowl. Then the Orange Boy
go at Oregon and Texas Tech. That is new money
versus really really new money. Texas Tech has gone out
(25:06):
and bought a great team Oregon with Phil Knight and
that Nike money. They've been buying players for one hundred years.
They've been waiting to try to win a national title.
He got Bama and Indiana in the Rose Bowl on
New Year's Day in Ole, miss and Georgia. Again that
we saw earlier this year when the Dogs rallied in
the fourth quarter between the hedges, we'll get a rematch.
Of course, Lane Kiffin no longer coaching the Revs, and
(25:28):
Kirby Smart and the Dogs have been playing good football.
So that's what we got lined up coming up for
the college football player. But that's New Year's Eve and
New Year's Day. We got to wait till all those games. Ironically,
all four teams in the first round bys they lost
last year. I'm gonna go on record, John boy, there
is no way Ohio State, Indiana, Texas Tech, and Georgia. Listen,
(25:52):
there's no way they're all losing. I got news. There
may be one or two, right, but there's no way
all four teams have had to buy are gonna take
a loss coming up in the next round. But that's
what you got in the college football playoffs.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
All right, buddy, looking forward to it. Thank you so much,
pack and we'll keep in touch, my budd.
Speaker 8 (26:11):

Speaker 3 (00:45):
The door for some reason. John Labor and Jolly.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The father of my Son's here, my three sons, Hey
listen to a TV show. Couldn't seen it? Oh man,
I want to thank you all for all the letters
from email, however they've gotten to us. It's a stack
that we had this morning. Of course, wish you could
read all of them. Just a couple off the top.
(01:12):
I want to read here, man, so I says from
Jeremy Winters. Hopefully this message gets to who it needs to.
But I've listened to the show off and on for
thirty years now. I was just a teenage kid back then,
thinking I had life by the horns. But as we
all know, we never know what's coming at us. Long
story long. In January of two thousand, my parents split
(01:33):
up after being married for twenty three years. Yep, life happened.
My father was rocked, and this once joyous, outgoing look
on life was shaken to its core. The man whom
I never saw show emotion crumbled as time went on.
He did whatever he could to keep the rest of
the family together and keep making memories as we grew.
It was hard, but like so many families, you'd take
it and move forward. Dad's favorite holiday was always Christmas.
(01:56):
He was a deeply religious man who found it hard
to celebrate for obvious reasons. My brother and myself tried
to keep everything normal about Christmas and even took him
out to cut down a tree. And this is where
the big show brought Christmas back to my family. We
went to decorate that tree, and my brother slipped the
John Boy and Billy Christmas album into the seedy changer
(02:16):
without my father's knowing. All of a sudden, we go
from listening to Christmas classics of years gone by to
the ever so familiar tone of a guitar strumming, and
the most horrible rendition of blue Christmas came across the speakers,
paired with John boys uncontrollable laugh in his background. Our
father looked at us in disbelief that we would mess
with Christmas and told us to turn that off. We
(02:39):
took the batteries out of his remote and forced him
to listen while we continued decorating. His face went from
disgust to beat red with laughter, to shake in his
head when he heard Christmas Balls. The following year, we
did the same thing all over again and to see
the look of shot come across his face to the
album and how we got him again. This is what
(03:01):
we continued doing for the next couple of years with
him and Christmas, and each year he came out of
his fog and the John Boy and Milly Christmas Album
became part of our annual tradition with him until we
lost him in six I've never been able to get
through to the show at Christmas to tell you the
story and say thank you. Since this is year it
is twenty years since our last Christmas with him, I
(03:23):
wanted to try one more time for you guys retire.
The John Boy and Milly Christmas Album continues to be
part of tradition with my wife and two kids. You
brought Christmas back to my small town Georgian family and
helped heal wounds from a family torn apart. Thank you,
Thank you for the humor, Thank you for the years,
Thank you for mad Max, Red Hot, Talent Hot and Duble,
(03:43):
Jackie Marsha, the whole gang. Let's not forget mister Rayford. Sincerely,
Jeremy Winters, all right, wow, yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Know, and.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You never know what's going on out there, you know.
I'm glad Jeremy got in touch with us about it.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
How many times have we heard stories like that too?
The family that was taking one of their relatives to
get cancer treatment every day, Yes, and they turned the
show on and that was the only thing that brightened
their day.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That And remember one it was one time like going
there and the mom or dads might have been another
one that was laughing and that got tickled on the
way and the doctor said, you know, blood pressure was load.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
What's the deal? Said, I don't think I've been doing
anything different, So I laughed. On the way over here,
he said, well keep doing that.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I said, that's the way to get a listener, you know.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Hook, Yes, yes, I talk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
All right, one more quick here, Okay, let's say here
wa ooh wah. I heard unsettling news recently that The
Big Show is shutting down a year's end. I hope
this is nonsense and just a clever maneuver to hold
out for more money and more vacation. Is it possible
for you guys to actually get more vacation than you
already do. I'm certain that only Congress had figured out
(05:02):
a way to take four to six months of recess
per year. If you leave, please go into syndicated reruns.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
Please.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The Andy Griffith Show hadn't left the air for sixty years,
and I'm sure the Big Show can beat that record.
What am I supposed to do if you leave the
air completely? There are no others. I can't recall when
I became a Big Show addict. It was years ago. Somehow,
what you've created is like a religion or cult. My family,
friends and co workers know. I quote almost entirely from
(05:31):
four secular Gospels, the Andy Griffith Show, Seinfeld, Clint Eastwood movies,
and The Big Show. It does surprise me that they
haven't subjected me to an intervention yet. I have enjoyed
so many good times with Hoyton, Delbert, married man I Turner,
Reverend Billy Ray Collins, Gaitarr O'Reilly, Mongo, Swisher, Carl and Belinda,
(05:52):
the Big Girl from the Dollar Store, Granny klump, mister
Yaqui soda astor. And there are John Boy with his trumpet,
Randy fight and a chipmunk Randy's dog said utter, John
Bo ordering room service, and many many more. I may
have never heard of Tim Wilson or James Gregory without
you guys. My father is a great lover of the
Andy Griffith Show. He is convinced that Barney Fife and
Floyd de Barber have done more to bring about peace,
(06:14):
joy and goodwill on earth than all the popes or
the United Nations ever have.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Dido, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The Big Show has achieved the same as Barney and Floyd.
I love you all, Thanks for all you've done for
me and many others. Well done. Better yet, keep up
the good work. All the best of you all. If
you see Goober later on, tell him, I say, Paxton Grant,
all right, thank you very much, Paxington.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one export.
Speaker 10 (07:22):

It's Frank Fezley, Federal Aviation Administration. I've here about your

It's so hard to understand, you.
Speaker 13 (10:12):
Know what this is. Basically this is a bendetta.
Speaker 17 (10:15):
God really wouldn't know anything about that, sir, but regulations
clearly state that if you have a movie violation on
your record, you are required to take a flight desk
flight No, I'm afraid so, sir. Otherwise I can't clearly
operate in American airspace on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
Oh sorry, Bobby, Santa couldn't bring in that new bike
you wanted because he was all tied up in federal
red day.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Mister class, I don't make the rules. This is really

The vehicle nearby, Yeah, yeah, come on, it's right outside.

Hey, genius, A slid is what I find year old

Yes, yes, my apologies.
Speaker 17 (11:06):
Looks like a top quality team of right here you

Speaker 13 (11:09):
I don't work with destruction, of course.
Speaker 7 (11:11):

Right Christmas, Chris, Frank Christens Mary Christmas.
Speaker 18 (12:20):
Happy, Good morning radio, dumb right, good morning.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Beg Jew's on the radio, A little bites and more.
I got it, okay, action.
Speaker 19 (12:58):
I remember when I was a kid, Christmas meant TV specials.
It's back when we only had three channels. Andy Williams,
Perry Como, Dean Martin. All fantastic kids nowadays. And I
don't appreciate the Great American Variety Show. And no one
did it better than Ed Sullivan. As John Boy would say,
he wasn't the prettiest thing a man.
Speaker 13 (13:18):
He just rocked.
Speaker 19 (13:19):
And since we're getting close to Christmas, I'm going to
give myself a present. And here it is from the
home office in Mary Amsterdam's cello closet. Right behind Tody
Field's leg comes the top ten movie quotes, as read
by Ed Sullivan. Number ten, say hello to my little
friend Tapoo gig. Number nine. The census taker once tried
(13:44):
to test me. I ate his liver with some fava
beans and a nice caanty.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Number eight.
Speaker 19 (13:54):
Some folks call it a kaiser blade. I calls it
a sling blade. Number seven, and stay out of the
Woolsworth number six badges. We don't need no stinking badges.
(14:15):
Number five Cinderella Story out of nowhere. Former greenskeeper now
about to become the Master's champion. It looks like a miracle.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It's in the hole. It's in the hole. Number four.
Speaker 19 (14:32):
Somebody's gonna need to go back to town and get
a buttload of dimes. Number three. We're gonna need a
bigger boot, really big boats. Number two. I'll be back
after a word from our sponsor. And the number one
(14:54):
movie quote said by Ed Sullivan. I'm not an actor,
damn you, I'm a movie st.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Good morning, that's a big show on the radio. You're
going off to live with a final hour the last
new big show will have some archive encoores all the
way through the end of the year for y'all. Where
you're listening to us right now, there be some new
morning shows taking some over, taking over some of these
(15:35):
radio stations.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Give him a shot, y'all. Keep me right here.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Okay, obviously we didn't really think this all the way
right here.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
That's coming from the heart because you don't have anywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Else you can get the sentiment.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Well, me and Billy talking about man, we need to
play one fine little bit and what's it gonna be?
So well agreed, let's go back to one of the
earliest ever. I think this might have been the first
one that we did together, besides that stupid one where
we got in the elevator.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
It was probably about in the first week that we
work together.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, that sounds right. So, and I mentioned this earlier.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You know, I met Billy the evening okay, me and
my wife, he's here right now. We got married Saturday afternoon,
and then we came to Charlotte because I was interviewing
for the morning job.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
So this is from the guy who fired me twice.
So I was a night job.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So he says, gonna hire me to do mornings and
I said, I don't know whether that can be funny
in the mornings. And he said, we'll just be there
and we'll just see what happened.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
And when he talked to me, he said, this is
what I want you to get in here.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So that was a hard job.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, And Billy applied for the same job. And Kagan
heard of some stuff that Billy did put on. It
was end of your air check, is right, some fake
commercials that you had written and did. And then he says,
saw man that he said, all right, had already had
it in his mind because he had you at the
station and we met.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
We had never met. He paired us up and he said,
this is going to be a great match.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
He knew I no, he did so.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Uh And then unfortunately he died suddenly at age thirty
thirty four. Was he thirty four thirty four with a
heart condition that he never knew had?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, and he was really a fit guy, and I
think he died.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
They're hiking hiking on like an Appalachian trailer. Yeah, yeah, h.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
That's something man and he never saw the really success
that we had because we were still together. And then
he moved on to Tampa and he was going to
take us to Tampa with him. We're going to leave Charlotte.
And then the that station got sold and they said
John Watton, who I don't think how much we don't
believe now.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I was in the room when they said it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
That's right because Gagan took Randy with him round down
the table. So we didn't and it worked out for
the best. Like I said, me and Eddie always said, man,
we could have never have planned this out. It was
all thank the Lord, you know, we could have never
I mean syndication, I mean we were the first one
(18:21):
there was. But yeah, basically yeah, basically it was.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Stern and was not syndicating.
Speaker 20 (18:27):
He was simulcasting's okay, But we were the first one
to do it with music. And we were the first
nationally syndicated morning radio show in the country.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Period, that's crazy and uh yeah, all right, so uh man,
that's something and now we're the.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Last well I got off phone out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So anyway, the first bit that me and Billy did
this really you know, drive through windows.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
How long ago. This was they were really just getting popular.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Absolute Yeah, so o, guys, we took it with our humor.

By the way, to let the paint on the glasses
doesn't have any lead on it like you know those
other guys.
Speaker 18 (19:39):

Good morning, Big shows on the radio. Coming up, we

with the last wordy word. Oh Billy, you miss it.
It was a perfect wordy word to end on. Oh yeah,
that w But I won. So that's the most important thing,

(22:30):
We're gonna give away a blue EMU prize pack. Jackie
is just gonna take some calls and award the prize
package to a random person. You ain't got to be
good at anything except dialing your phone. All right, one
eight hundred, Big Show. All right, you're asking a lot.
We are gonna play one of our favorite contests from
(22:51):
the last forty five years, Ricky from Rowano.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Of course, remember him do the win? Yep, I don't
think he remember we do.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
That's coming up, but right now, one more time, the
purveyor of Southern Pride Football, Mark Packers on the line.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Good morning pack Man.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Good morning john Boy. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you,
your staff, the listeners, and everybody else. I hope everybody's
in a festive.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Moved you sure are body, Thank.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
You you got it well and again another Southern Pride
football weekend. Playoffs have started, John Boy, no surprise when
a couple blowouts. I told you, old miss have no
trouble too, Lane. That was the case. Oregon beat up
on James Madison. Notre Dame fans are all upset, going
we should have been in while of those scrubbs. Hey,
you know what, We've been down that road a thousand times.
We got the teams. Let's go play. But as expected,
(23:43):
Miami and A and M was a great game. The
Hurricanes go down to College Station. They win the game,
and that was the ACC's first college football playoff win
this decade. It's been forever when Dabo and the Tigers
won a bunch of games in national championships. In Miami
wins their first college football playoff game. They eliminate the
(24:03):
SECS Texas, A and M. And then of course Alabama
was down seventeen to Oklahoma. They rallied, they knocked out Oklahoma.
The Sooners now zero and five all time in the
college football Playoff and for blue Blood, that is a
tough deal man. Oklahoma kicked to the curb. So it
sets up John Boy games for New Year's Eve and
(24:23):
New Year's Day in the playoff, and you're gonna have
on New Year's Eve the Cotton Bowl Miami in Ohio State.
If you remember, way way way back in January of
two thousand and three, they played for the national championship.
It was a controversial game. Miami's a defending national champs.
They thought they won the game in overtime, controversial interference call.
(24:45):
Ohio State got second life and ended up winning the
game in Miami. Hurricane fans for twenty two years have
been waiting for an opportunity for a little revenge. So
we get that game on New Year's Eve, Miami and
Ohio State and the Cotton Bowl. Then the Orange Boy
go at Oregon and Texas Tech. That is new money
versus really really new money. Texas Tech has gone out
(25:06):
and bought a great team Oregon with Phil Knight and
that Nike money. They've been buying players for one hundred years.
They've been waiting to try to win a national title.
He got Bama and Indiana in the Rose Bowl on
New Year's Day in Ole, miss and Georgia. Again that
we saw earlier this year when the Dogs rallied in
the fourth quarter between the hedges, we'll get a rematch.
Of course, Lane Kiffin no longer coaching the Revs, and
(25:28):
Kirby Smart and the Dogs have been playing good football.
So that's what we got lined up coming up for
the college football player. But that's New Year's Eve and
New Year's Day. We got to wait till all those games. Ironically,
all four teams in the first round bys they lost
last year. I'm gonna go on record, John boy, there
is no way Ohio State, Indiana, Texas Tech, and Georgia. Listen,
(25:52):
there's no way they're all losing. I got news. There
may be one or two, right, but there's no way
all four teams have had to buy are gonna take
a loss coming up in the next round. But that's
what you got in the college football playoffs.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
All right, buddy, looking forward to it. Thank you so much,
pack and we'll keep in touch, my budd.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
John Boy, you are the best, you and the staff again,
