Long man.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Me weekside, I give.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Why. I wonder. I wonder today how many people realize
(08:46):
that Lester Moran and Wichita and the Cadillac Cowboys are
really the Standler Brothers.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't know, but they fooled me when I first
heard that album, I couldn't believe it. It was so
real to life. I mean, it's just like radio shows
that i'd been on, I guess everybody else mus business
at one time or another. And I didn't know until I
heard it all the way through that it wasn't really a.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Real group that you didn't realize there was a put on.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
No, I really didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I mean, oh, I mean, I imagine so far down. I
don't remember all that, but I mean it played a
good while before I knew that it was because the cover,
you know, the picture on the album, the Johnny mac
Brown High School the one live is the one that
I got, and somebody to give it to me because
I think they made mention of me or something, some
smart remark or so. I don't remember, but anyway, it
(09:33):
was just something funny. But I just loved the album.
And then when I found out it was really them
and listened to it again, just how real to life
it sounded. It made me appreciate it more.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, we have heard maybe the Statler Brothers or the
alter ego of Lester Moran, the Cadillact Cowboys. Anyway, you've
heard the Statler's Phil Balsley and Ludedwit and Harold, Donny
Reid and Susan. When she tried.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Together time time to spend and.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Join the food, get out and got together.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
So he said, if you can, I can ouch my
lips hurt when I laugh? Why this cold source splits open?
Speaker 12 (10:38):
Campho phonique stops that pain. It lubricates and softens cold
sores and fever blisters to help prevent painful cracking. Gently
penetrates into an undersours to help them heal quickly.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I'd like that.
Speaker 12 (10:50):
Camphophonique for cold sores and fever blisters stops pain fast
and helps speed healing. Campho phinique.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I mean you brought up something. Sometimes people make jokes
about Dolly Parton. They're not they're not done to hurt
Dolly Parton. But I wondered if if you if you
get feelings hurt sometimes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh, sometimes I do when it's really bad, And no
point in being so rude, you know, But because I
am a sensitive person and I'm eating embarrassed, and I'm
not playing up any of the things a lot of
people do, you know. But I can take a joke
and I'm used to all that, but just once in
a while it'll be something that's really ugly and it
(11:34):
gets away with me.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You cry, I have. But see, I don't think people
when they make these jokes they realize that you are
you know, I think they cease to realize that you
can be hurt by these things that they say.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well it would be you know, it's okay, you know,
and I don't mind if you know, if somebody can
find joy in making a joke out of me, well,
you know, I don't mine. But it just once in
a while something will really just be just too much
for me to take, you know, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
All jokes at somebody else's expense.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, I know that. And I'm a good sport, you know,
I mean, I laugh along and all that. But just
sometimes when it's things that are really you know, really
get to me, embarrass me or something, well, you know
how I am, Ralph, you know, I'm sensitive.
