what you find on the road.So you can talk about literally, yeah,
oh yeah, interesting things along theunbeaten bath. Yes, because it

(01:06):
might help other people that are traveling. You know. Mine actually takes me
back to when I was a kidtraveling to the Carolinas and going through the
Great Smoky Mountains. Oh, Iwant to share with you that fine that
has stuck with me all of theseyears, and I'm fairly certain it's now
illegal. Oh ooh, this willbe one of a nice tease that was.

(01:56):
lot to get to this morning andprepared to spill some tea. I am
all of the next X Men filmsounds good? All right, we'll get
you that after the news you needfor this Tuesday. May scratch that Wednesday,
May the twenty second there is fueledby the new ballad Saint Louis nationally
known, locally owned. Looks likeit's going to be a fairly decent day
today weatherwise. Hopefully the storms arenow called hope. It's looking more and

(02:17):
more like space force is going tobe a vital part of our national defense.
The Pentagon officials saying that Russia haslikely launched a counter space weapon in
the low orbit along the same pathas the US satellite, and according to
that spokesperson, this weapon is presumablycapable of attacking our satellite. Oh boy,
star wars breaks out. I wantto be Han solo. Gas from

(02:38):
reserves is heading to a pumpny oryou. This is good news, the
Biden administration saying yesterday it's releasing onemillion barrels of gasoline from a Northeast reserve.
This isn't an attempt to lower gasprices heading into the summer driving season.
The fuel will be released, theysay, one hundred thousand barrels at
a time. I don't know ifthat's a lot more not I don't either.
Ed The Cardinals game suspended in thesixth inning yesterday, tie at one

(03:00):
apiece, but the orioles due torain. They're going to finish that up
at like eleven fifteen. I sidsomebody got in trouble and you say suspended,
that is the need. Now wespilled the team with TWOTD. This
is interesting. I don't know ifyou know the show Bluey, but apparently
Vegas Restaurant has underestimated the popularity ofthe show. The Dirt Dog Restaurant was
trying to capitalize on the Aussie kidsshow popularity by having a Blue Day turned

(03:22):
into chaos after poor execution. Telltme that the Blue characters would be on
hand, there'd be a watch partyand more. The character was a bearded
guy in a Bluey onesie and thewatch party consisted of a few TVs.
There were quite some. Yeah,that sounds fantastic. So your dad flew
into Saint Louis from California so youguys could travel to Boston to see your

(03:46):
son his grandson graduate from college.Yes, very cool trip. Indeed,
very lot of adventurous stories. Andone of it was when we got back
yesterday or the new for yesterday,and I said, Dad, open the
windows of the car. You couldhear this. He goes, oh wow,
and they're really loud. Then Igo close the windows. They come
in and all of a sudden,we're driving I don't know from the airport
or whatever, coming through, andboom the windshield, the biggest cicada ever

(04:11):
smacks dab into it. Oh no. And then I'm trying to get rid
of all the yes that it leaves. So I'm putting the windshield wipers on.
Cannot get rid of it. It'slike smearing it all along. I
can't see what I'm driving. Soulwas horrible. So that's my cicada story.
I'm done with them. Did youtell me that they don't have cicadas
in California? He said no,he hasn't seen any. I think they're
just all with us. I don't. I haven't seen any in Edwardsville,

(04:34):
where I live. We're just acrossthe river. What are you doing that's
keeping them away? We want togive them to you, like no one
wants to live in Illinois cicadas.Oh no, they got all those trees.
Speaking of family, I'm a littlenervous because my brother, my oldest
brother, I'm the baby. He'scoming to Saint Louis Thursday, tomorrow.
Now he's bringing with him his daughterand he has a new girlfriend. Oh

(04:58):
boy, yeah, whom I havenot yet met. Now, my brother
was in the military for twenty years. I'm like, really strict, rigid
guy, okay, and then heretired and all of a sudden, he's
gone, you on me. He'slike hippity dippity. He moved to California.
There you go. That's why heopened up a yoga business. Wow.
So now I'm like all nervous thatI'm gonna have these earthy people.
I don't even know if they usesoap, oh like rocks. Oh by,

(05:21):
I'm supposed to just go buy abunch of vegetation for them. What
do I know? I would waittill they get there and then see what
they what they're into. They mightbe into grounding and going walking into park
and touching trees. Am I gonnawake up in the morning to have both
of them outside with yoga mats doingstretches as the sun is coming up?
Well, just think of Nomas dayom, chill out. I'm gonna have

(05:41):
to get more wine, make itorganic. But yeah, that's what's going
on in our world. What's goingon in your World eight six six,
Billie, Judy, we're so nosyroadside fines. You were getting closer to
people sneaking out, maybe a lotof people sneaking out early, even for
this nice long holiday weekend. Wewant to know what you found. Would
you say, like, forty millionAmericans are going to be traveling forty eight

(06:05):
is that like on the road oris that all together that's on the road.
Think about that. When you tooka road trip, at some point
in your life, you discovered somethingand you're like, well, this is
awesome. All the time I discoverthings because I like looking out the side
windows. So give me an exampleof a roadside find, Judy Diamonds.
All right, Well, there wasan antique I've found a lot of antique

(06:26):
places, but there was one placegoing two defiants, believe it or not.
A little town. Of course,I couldn't give you the name of
it, but WA did to thislittle town, and they had all these
little shops and the best candy storeI've ever been to, two stories with
ice cream in it, and thebottom was all of the old like eighties
nineties candy that we loved, andthen they also had the new candy.

(06:46):
It was such a treasure find forme. Was it called cracker Barrel?
Was it? No? No,No, it wasn't. It was the
store and it was packed. CrackerBarrel has all my favorite old candies.
Yeah, necko wafers. I uh, so yours is a candy store?
Yeah? Okay, I remember oneof my favorite roadside finds. And looking
back on it now, I thinkit's probably illegal. But when I was
a kid, we annually would makethe track from Missouri to the Carolinas where

(07:12):
my aunt lived, and we wouldgo with my grandma. We would always
stop in the Great Smoky Mountains andthere was one place that always I remember,
had a massive tepee right like wow, right, which I don't even
think you'd find those really anymore.But then at that place they had the
dancing chickens, and I'll never forgetfor a quarter you could get the chickens

(07:35):
to dance. And I didn't discoveruntil years later. It was always so
amazing. Every summer we look forwardto it. It captivated us. Come
to find out. Basically, theywere standing on a stovetop. Oh and
when you put the corner in,it activated the filaments that heated it up.
Oh my god, they weren't dancing. They were trying to keep their

(07:55):
little feet from birds. They weretrying not to firewalk. Yeah, it
was fantastic. It was very memorable, very illegal. Right, Yes,
I find it out, just neverfor the rest of my life will I
forget the memories? And I don'tthink those chickens will forget either. Yeah.
So that's the question on the showToday's we get ready for this holiday
weekend? What's your best road side? Fine? Yeah, we want to
hear from you. Eight sixty sixtwo four fifty eight, speaking of the

(08:18):
roads, President announcing something yesterday thatmay actually save us some money at the
pump, Judy Diamond, I havethe news you need, and I have
that Hallmark is serving up a passportto love for the tea, all right.
We it's both next more and morelike space force is going to be
a vital part of our national defense, Pentagon officials saying yesterday Russia has likely
launched a counter space weapon into loworbit along with the same path as are

(08:43):
US satellites. According to a spokespersonfrom the Pentagon, that weapon is presumably
capable of attacking other US satellites.Not good gas from reserves is headed to
a pump near you. The Bidenadministration announcing yesterday it's releasing one million barrels
of gasoline from a Northeast reserve,an attempt to look gas prices as we
head into the summer driving season.The fuel, they say, will be

(09:03):
released one hundred thousand barrels at atime. We're not sure if that's enough
for a lot. We'll find out, I suppose in the near future.
And the Cardinals suspended their game yesterdayin the sixth gitting due terrain. They'll
finish that up at eleven fifteen overat Bush. That there's the news you
need. Now we spill the teawith Judd. As we all know,
the Hallmark Channel loves love and helpingviewers to escape to exotic locations with the

(09:24):
Passport to Love lineup of movies.So the films are set in the Greek
isles, Malta which I was justat, Paris, and Italy and all
air on Saturdays this month. Thetitles include for Love and Honey, Savoring
Patty, a Greek recipe for romance, had two scoops of Italy. Oh
what channel is that on? Again? It's the Hallmark not just Self,
Do not watch. That's all forme then, And that is the tea

(09:48):
without taking to the road this MemorialDay week and forty eight million triple A
estimates. Yeah, so our questionin the show, like what is like
a roadside fine that to this daysticks with you. For me, it
was the dancing chickens that I foundout later. We're just on a stovetop
for a corner. You can startup the stove apparently make them dance.
Wait, I have a new one. Where's any great smoky mountains? Always

(10:09):
fun going through the smoky mountains?Like, I'm trying to think of what
it what is the town in thesmoking mountain here? There's a lot of
talents in the smoking you know.It wasn't Dolly would Yeah, no,
it was it. I you knowwhat? There was a I was taking
my son Leyo to Boston on aroad trip and he's like me looking out
the side windows to find anything interestingto stop at. And we're in this
small town going through and there's acastle. Out of the nowhere, there's

(10:31):
castle, and I go, let'sgo see it. He goes, Okay,
we get off the highway and boom, there's this cool, gorgeous castle
in the middle of the Midwest.I get working with John Madden over there,
and then boom does he say thatI don't know who jumped no longer
with his rest in peace. He'dliked to take his He wouldn't fly though.
He would always take a bus fromgame to game used in football analysts,
a great coach and then football analystslater down the road. So he

(10:52):
would take a bus everywhere. Youtalk about seeing stuff all the time on
the road. I bet got thistalk back message, not nearly as in
I don't think. In Kentucky,there's a big statue of a cow and
it's pretty cool. You can siton it, you can ride it,
take pictures with it. It's abig old statue of the cow. It's

(11:13):
a statue of a cow. Okay, so like you've got Superman. That
is a massive Superman over in Metropolis, Illinois, the big ketchup Bottle Collinsville.
Yeah, there's a town if you'regoing towards Indianapolis that has a bunch
of that stuff. And I can'tremember the name of it. Escapes me
if someone listening, if you knowwhat I'm talking about, it has like
a massive like mailbox. Oh wayup this sky Yeah, a massive like

(11:37):
rocking share. Yes, I don'tremember. There's somewhere in the Midwest there's
a big, huge cross, thebiggest cross I have ever seen. Same
direction, Yeah, heading over thereto Indianapolis. Yeah, road side fines.

and I actually am one, unlikemy wife Melissa, who likes to take
my time. Me too. Ilike to get off the interstate and take
those old highways and discover stuff that's, you know, maybe not been seen

(13:48):
for a long time. Yes,And actually I would like to thank one
of our Facebook friends and listeners whoheard me talk about this candy store that
had old candy, old school andnew scale and it was on the way
to Defiance. It's Caledonia, yousee Caledonia? Is that how you say
it? Just Caledonia? Okay,thank you? It's Caledonia like that.

(14:09):
It's a little lazier way of sayingit. It's a really cool town with
the best candy shop ever. Haveto check that out. I'm not so
sure I believe this talkback message wegot, and I don't think you're gonna
like this. Judy is a residentof Vegetarian Oh Boy on the show.
It was one time I was drivingon a highway and I saw Ostridge Farm
that I pulled up on it.I thought it was like a petting due

(14:31):
and then it wound up actually beinglike a Ostridge farm slash slaughterhouse ostriche and
then aman later eat kind of morbidbut also cool? Is that? I
mean, is that even true?Is it legal to eat ostrich? And
you're looking at you're asking the vegetarian. I don't know. And if it
is, what does it taste likechicken? I'm sure? Oh, Billy,

(14:54):
would you even eat it? Ah? Sure? Why not? As
long as clean? You know I'mwatching what I'm eating. I can't think
about eating an ostrich. If youwould like to jump in on this year
conversation Unforgettable Roadside five eight sixty sixtwo fifty eight. Yes, we are
known for that google buster question thatBilly does around seven to forty and gives

(15:15):
away tickets to MJ at the FabulousFox all week long. Judy, however,
brings with her a question so difficultwe can't google the answer to win.
Absolutely nothing but our undying love,which you already have. So here
is the question. Seventy three percentof Americans that's a lot. That's a
lot say they have never wanted todo this. What is this? Seventy

(15:37):
three percent of Americans say you havenever wanted to join the military. No,
that's a ridiculous guest. I don'twell never know. It's actually a
really good guess. No, it'snot you should want to join the military.
You should want to fight for oursay the guests the question, because
you're getting closer backly, Oh really, yeah, I mean it's not that,

(15:58):
but it's it's kind of you know. What I've done is I've helped
you hopefully along this journey if youhave any idea. The question again is
seventy three percent of Americans say theyhave never wanted to do this? What
is this? Eight sixty six twofour fifty nine fifty eight. Somebody call
now and bus Judy's Google stop that. We are Billy and Judy in the
morning trying to get an answer thismorning to Judy's Revenge your Bonus buster question.

(16:21):
So the question was seventy three percentof Americans say they have never wanted
to do this? What is this? And you guessed, well, I
guess going into the military, justbecause I think that can be scary for
people, and I don't think youshould go into the military. Please don't
email and or call saying why wouldI say that? It was just a
guess for the question, and youwere kind of along the same lines.
It is something that serves the people. Oh, go into politics there it

(16:45):
is right now? Well not quite? What is back up everything there?
Okay, yes, you have tobe a policy. I would not want
to run for president. We notwant to run for the Senate, but
not want to be the president ofthe United What I said right there?
You said run for president? Semantic. Hey you busted seventy three percent of

(17:07):
a You know why I would neverwant to run for president of Peers.
How many skeletons class? Thanks forhanging out again with us, Billy and
Judy. You know we've been talkingabout roadside finds. Forty eight million Americans
traveling over by car over Memorial Dayweekend. Million flights by the way,
and then you're going to stop ata hotel and you're going to stay there.
There are certain things, certain thingsthat you should not do in a

(17:29):
hotel room. Okay, One wouldbe don't book that airb and be my
dad. I booked. It's horrible. That is actually not on the list.
Oh it should be, and Ijust did this. I just was
in Dallas this past week. Firstthing I went for do not use the
remote control in the hotel room.They say it is absolutely loaded with germs.
Oh I thought, because they neverwork. Well, that's that's actually

(17:52):
I know. I'm sure it did. They never work. They say,
if you are going to use it, and make sure that you wipe it
down with an anti BACTERI wipe beforeyou use the remote. I do that
all the time. Oh well,I say, I take a whole thing
of the lfele wipes and I wipedown everything. Obviously, don't leave valuables
around. I think somebody took oneof my chargers. Like I had a
magnetic charger that goes to the backof my phone. I can't find it

(18:15):
all of a sudden. Oh no, I'm gonna blame it on them and
not me. Use the safe,they say, uh, ever use this
or do you use this? Alwaysuse the do not disturb sign. I
do that all the time. Idon't want somebody in my room. Stay
out. You can come back inwhen I leave. Yeah, don't announce
your room number out loud. Makessense, like if you're at the bar,
the hotel bar. I can't evenremember my room number. Ever,

(18:36):
don't open the door of someone knocks. Make sure you look through the people.
And if you have to go,like to get ice down, don't
leave your like the door for ajar. Yeah, bring your key card
says to look for bed bugs.I'm not sure how you're supposed to do
that. And then the other thingthat I fail at, don't drink the
tap water or use it to brushyour teeth and I do, well,
what are you supposed to use?Then bottled water? That's crazy, but

(18:56):
okay, just some don't as youout this holiday weekend, otherwise you're not
going to come back. And weneed you, yes, we need you.
Do dues. By the way,I'll share that as always on the
Billy and Judy Facebook page. Thereare actually a couple more I left off
of there if you want to checkthose out. Yeah, and if you're
new, it's Billy and Judy inthe Morning, Billy with a Y and
Judy with an I. There's alot of people jumping in their cars and

(19:18):
heading off these holiday weekends. Iknow a lot of people who are actually
taking off on Friday, so tomorrowwill be hitting out. Yeah, so
then four days Friday and then Mondayoff. So yeah, we wanted to
find out things that you've seen.Maybe yeah, fines, But when you
think of taking road trips, especiallylike as a kid, what do you
think of I think that. Mydad made me sit in the middle on
the hump because I was the youngestof four, and I made up more

(19:41):
stories by looking out those side windowsbecause I was bored. He listened to
talk. Did you pick the colorsof cars? And do that contract?
Bug we see VW bugget you slugyour brother? Do the ice spy with
my little brown eyes? Yeah?Ivice by license plate car colors, all
that stuff I always think of.We would always stop at those souvenirs places
that always had like moccasins, Yes, same things, every single souvenirship,

(20:04):
didn't matter where you were. Imissed that stuff. I do too.
This is interesting because I made thisdrive from Saint Louis down to Tennessee a
thousand times and I've never seen this. Well, it wasn't really a roadside
attraction per se. But when Iwas taking a road trip through Tennessee,
I stumbled across this little area whereit was all butterflies. And my daughter

(20:29):
was with me, and she stilltalks about it today, about the butterflies
being everywhere. Been driving and justseeing like a random, massive amount of
butterflies. I've never seen that,no, but it just did. It
did remind me of driving. AndI want to say I was driving I
don't remember where in the Midwest,somewhere and there was nothing nowhere for miles.
Yeah, and all of a sudden, out in the middle of nowhere

(20:49):
is a swing set. I ama girl that if you see a swing
set, I will go swing onit. There's nothing around it. And
I got out of my car andswung on this one. You know it's
around of copperheads. Well, Ididn't know that any time. Good thing
I didn't get bit. Let's dothis. Let's move this over to our
Billy and Judy Facebook page road SideFinds. If there's something that just sticks
