Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michigan's number one for new country B ninety three. It
is the B ninety three Morning Show. My name is Mike.
All right, So here's the situation. If you went to
our Facebook B ninetyree dot com, you've probably already seen
the picture. I love this time of year. I love
Fourth of July. I love I have an American flag
onesie that I wear all summer long. That's my favorite
thing in the world. But I also I am a
(00:20):
huge fan of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh come on, man, you don't got no lady fingers,
buzz buttles, snaker bombs.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I love.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I love fireworks. And I noticed, like I got friends
and people that I know that have like a fireworks
guy in their neighborhood, And I was like, why do
they do that? You know? But I think what it
does is it stops random people from setting off fireworks
for like twenty days in a row at random times.
(00:48):
Nine times out of ten they don't follow over the
time in their zones, you know what I mean. It's
just random people setting up fireworks. So I have an
idea to be the fireworks guy I live in Hudsonville,
to be the fireworks sky in my neighborhood. So I'd
round up the neighbors and be like, hey, pitch in
a little and we'll we'll shoot off fireworks from my house.
It'll be a show and then it'll be done. My
(01:10):
thought is is, I don't think people like the fireworks sky,
and I think it becomes more of a hassle. Then
it is like fun. Is anybody the fireworks sky? Do
you like the fireworks sky? Would you rather just not
have it in your neighborhood? Do you think this is
a good idea? Six one, six two four to two
ninety three ninety three. Also, I haven't run this by
(01:33):
my wife yet, So tell me the goods and the
bads of this idea. I want to hear it all
because I think it would bring the neighbors together. I
think it would be less annoying because there wouldn't be
fireworks at random times of the day all over or
all over the random days, I mean all summer long.
I think I'm centralizing the day we send out fireworks.
(01:55):
And I've been the neighbors or other people's houses in
their neighborhood, and they do it.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Think he is a good idea?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Six one, six two four two ninety three, ninety three.
I want to be the fireworks guy.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You don't have no black cats, no roaming candles or
screaming mamies. No, oh, come on, man, you don't got
no lady fingers, buzz buttles, sneaker bombs.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I don't know if this is a great idea though,
six one six ninety three, ninety three.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
My thought is is that if I do it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
One, if I get the whole neighborhood together, and I
live in Hudsonville, and we put them all together, and
we just do one night, and we don't have every
dude trying to do fireworks on a on a Wednesday night,
you know what I mean? Six one six two four
two ninety three, ninety three. Do you think this is
a great idea? Good morning to be ninety three?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Tim Jacobs?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I'm from Funville?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
All right? Tim? Should I be the neighborhood fireworks guy?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I would say?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Why is that?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Because I lived on a small lake just off of Sunville,
and we actually used to do the same thing. Kind of,
all the neighbors would pitch in, we'd have a great
fireworks show, and then it actually gets bigger and bigger
every year. It was like a competition that almost came
off of that. Like the people on the other side
of the lake would have a great fireworks show, we
(03:07):
would have a great fireworks show. And like you said,
it was kind of condensed so till one day and
then it was done and over with.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
See, I like that. That's what I want. I don't
want to be up at you know, I got a
two year old. I don't want to be up on
a Tuesday because Joe Schmoe is lighting off fireworks because
this is the day he decided to do it. So
I okay, I like that. I like where we're starting here.
I also got to hear the other side too. Why
is this a bad idea?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no
black cats, no Roman candles or screaming maybe no, Oh
come on, man, you know got no lady fingers, buzz butterles, snaker.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Bombs to be that a three morning show.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
My name is Mike Allimack out on vacation.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We're talking about whether or not I should be the
neighborhood firework guy. There's always neighborhoods and I'm I love
this that have like one block or one house or
a couple of houses that they shoot fireworks off at
and they do it for like one weekend, one night.
I think I love this because then it's not random.
People said enough fireworks at all times of the night
throughout the summer. I just don't know if I want
(04:07):
to be the house the guy who has to manage
all of those things. I want to know if you've
ever done this, if you think this is a good idea.
Six one, six two four two ninety three ninety three,
Good morning, Welcome to the B ninety three Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
What's your name? Away from Mike from Kalamazoo. All right, Mike,
should I be the neighborhood fireworks guy?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It's a great idea. We do it. We've got family
members that get together for a cookout, then we have
the fireworks later. The drawback is we had one year
that we set the neighbor's grass on fire because one
of them didn't go off until it hit the ground.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh my gosh, So do you have to pay for that?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Well, the neighbor was like we were. There was about
seven or eight of us ran over there and we're putting
it out. Okay, probably burned a big ten foot area
of their yard was all black.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
We went over to apologize and tried to compensate them
for it, and they're like, no, no, no, it's not
a big deal.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That's the stuff I don't want to deal with. See,
that's the things I need to hear too, because I
have these ideas and they sound great, and then I
don't factor in that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So you're gonna tell me you don't have no black cats,
no roaming candles or screaming mamies. No, oh, come on, man,
you don't got no lady fingers, buzz butterles, sneaker bombs.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I love that movie so much.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Michigan's Lever went for New Country B ninety three with
the B ninety three Morning show.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
My name is Mike.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
We're talking about the neighborhood fireworks person, the person whose
house sets off the fireworks. They organize, they get all
the people together and shoot off fireworks and they usually
do it one day a week, one day in the summer.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And I kind of want to be that guy in
my neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I live in Hudsonville, Hudsonville, and there really isn't a
person that does that in my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
But I feel like it's gonna be a giant hassle.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Sounds like a great idea in theory because people won't
be shooting off fireworks at random times, will have a date,
It'll help with many other things. But I feel like
I'm not factoring in everything. So I want to take
your calls on this six one, six two three ninety three.
What do you think it's been? Any three Morning show?
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Who's this Brent Short?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Please?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Brett Brett? Thanks for calling in? What can I do
for you?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Don't do that fireworks thing?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Why me and my uncle used to do a fireworks
thing up for Tard resort.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And man, you're you're.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Asking for a lot of eyeability. See that's something goes wrong,
you're screwed.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's my thought is how much everybody will say how
great of an idea, because it really condenses when you
do the fireworks.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But I want to know. I also want to hear
this side of it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You gonna tell me you don't have no black cats,
no Roman candles or screaming mamies. No, oh, come on, man,
you don't got no lady fingers, buzz butterles, sneaker bombs.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's Michigan's number one for new country. B ninety three
with the B ninety three Morning Show. Should I become
the fireworks guy in my neighborhood? A lot of people
commenting on Facebook right now, being including uh the boss
here Afternoons, Dave Taft, who says he hates the firework guy,
and I get that. I two, I hate the guys
that light him off randomly and you never know what
(07:13):
they they're gonna show up on and just shooting fireworks.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
My idea is that if somebody doesn't become that person,
then they're just gonna it's gonna be like that every
single summer. So I thought maybe we just put it
all together six one six two ninety three. I need
the good and the bad.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Good
Morning be ninety three, who says this is cheering from Kentwood,
Sherry from Kentwood. Should I become the neighborhood fireworks guy?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Well, see, I have to say I'm not completely opposed
to the idea of a neighborhood fireworks guy. Uh huh,
but I have to say you've got to stick within
the parameters of whatever. For when fire works Kenning can't
(08:01):
be fat enough. I'm a pet owner off beyond.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
The parameters, see, and I have a.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Pet that just gets terrified by them.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
My thought, too, is for vets and pets, you set
up a whole page where you're like, all right, this
is the day we're gonna do it, just letting everybody know,
or we vote on it. Maybe we never do fireworks,
but at least it's not Joe smo lighting off fireworks
at random times of the day.
