I still say the most impressive thing I ever say.

a wooden park bench at Disney World in the rain
in the winter beat.

To say nothing, Say bailly, they'll pick out your super
talent and then beat you with it. You're right, you're right.

In my world they should be admiring you, and yet
somehow they're trying to throw you down.

Oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:14):
On Johnny's super Stupidity, Johnny says that the two words
that I never want to hear him say, I'm rested in.

We're gona play for the aforementioned prize package. It is Monday,
November the eighteenth. On this date, Public Opinion nextperk Doctor

(02:55):
George Gallop would have been one hundred and one. He
conducted his first Gallop pole in nineteen thirty five, when
he asked three thousand Americans, do you think expenditures by
the government are too little? Too great? Are just right.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Gee, what did they say?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, let's see, the majority said too great, sixty percent. Well.
Gallup died July twenty eighth, nineteen eighty four, at age
of eighty three. When he died, fifty two percent felt bad,
thirty percent cents didn't care, and uh, eleven mode is
a joke? Son?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Is that we're completely confused by the question.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Apparently that would have been a good one. Randyer just
shouldn't pull it off.

Speaker 9 (03:35):
Air Buryea, thanks for laying down on him on that, Georgie,
let me finish up.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Eleven percent were undecided and one percent were glad he
was gone because their dinner was getting cold.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Nah, it's funnier the way you did.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
The first sees you're the master song er writer Johnny Mercer.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
No, that's the way it's written. Yes, sorry, that's singer.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Say right. If you wouldn't concentrate on writing those jokes
like that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
You know what. I was giggling too hard at the joke.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Anyway, So.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
He's laughing at my pain.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Uh anyway, Johnny Mercer. Some of his more famous lyrics

birds words, get those peeper jeep birds.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Creep birds.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Where'd you get those thighs? Those thighs whatever?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
He's a leg man, stupid he said he was the King.
You understand he was a song or writer.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, Johnny.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
The most painful thing happened is we were into the
dealership on Saturday. We put Pillars in charge of the
satellite radio in the car.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh boy, he dialed up the Broadway.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Channel talk look at your white eyed fee right.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Put it on the channel Billy wanted, and the candy
Man came.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Oble, ain't there any black people working at that radio station?

Speaker 8 (05:26):
And the most embarrassing part was is Randy and I
did a duet the candy Man.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I'm so sorry I didn't ride with y'all.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Me too, I'm so sorry I did.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
And finally on the State nineteen ninety two, Superman died
when issued number seventy five of the Superman comics was
released to the public. Superman was killed by a monster
named Doomsday, but the Man of Steel was brought back
to life a year later.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
And Doomsday was forced to change his name to I
Hate Monday.

Speaker 2 (06:02):

Three places where you might take a survey, Ready go
a polling place, work and them all yeah, there you go,
very good place, is there? Doug? All right?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Moving along?

Speaker 6 (08:15):
I hear a voice helping him out.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Maybe it's that still small voice inside him.

Speaker 6 (08:22):
Not unless there's a woman trapped.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Never know, Maybe a woman's trapped Doug's body, all right,

Good morning America.

Speaker 2 (08:55):

Speaker 4 (08:58):

Speaker 2 (09:00):
That was close.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
That woman you got with it. She's going to give
you all the answers.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
All right, Doug for the wind. Three Superman superpowers, ready
to go, X.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Trade vision, jump over a tall building and he can fly.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
You know, I guess wan't take that, but I never
understood that. In the opening of Superman, they say he
could leap tall buildings, but they never mentioned anything about
him flying that.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Which is the much cooler superpower, right.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Name a guy that wouldn't take X ray vision over
any of that.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
I well know you're super Originally couldn't fly, he was like,
you know he could, he could leap long distances, but yay,
he got more. His powers got bigger and bigger as
the nineteen thirties and forties went on.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Kay, I gotta tell you this from Radioactive Fraul.

Speaker 13 (09:53):
The last long car trip, Pillars and Billy in the
back of the Lord and they got to talking about
some game that Billy's kids got where superheroes fight each
other and Billy got baited didn't play. They got into
an involved conversation about which superhero could kick which superheroes
butt but seriously, no really, I turned to both of them,

(10:14):
I said, I have never felt so normal.

Speaker 8 (10:16):
And Billy's kids took him to the cleaners on.

Speaker 14 (10:19):
This game there were your kids sit down and say,
I don't worry, I'll explain the rules as we go along,
and all of a sudden, like the scarlet Witch is
getting her butt kicked.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Wait a minute, she's a witch.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
There is no way, all right, jone, look, look, I'll
take Doug's information and the get me out of this cover.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
He started going on about spider Man.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yo morning, rednecks, this is your pompa diss of love.
I turn enjoying the hell out of my retirement.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Drinking liquor, eating vinies.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
And when I get to Jones in for a crack
and a go with it, I tune in to John
Boy and Billy on the Big Show. If why I
done lost my appetite for crackers?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Good morning the Big Shows on your radio. From Daycarehan
kids say the darnedest things. The people who followed the
Lord were called the twelve opossums. The spinal column is
a long bunch of bones. The head sets on the
top and you set on bottom. We do not raise

(12:03):
silkworms in the United States because we get our silk
from Rayon. He is a larger worm and gives more silk.
One of the main causes of dust is janitors. A
scalp obeys all to whom obedience is due, and respects
all duly constipated authorities. One byproduct of raising cattle is calves.

(12:30):
To prevent head calls, use an agonizer to spray into
the nose until it drips into the throat. The four
seasons are salt, pepper, mustard.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
And vinegar.

Speaker 10 (12:43):
The Johnvoys bakers.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
The climate is hot as next to the creator. Oliver
Cromwell had a large red nose, but under it were
deeply religious feelings. The word trousers is an uncommon noun
because it is singular at the top and pearl at
the bottom. Syntax is all the money collected at the

(13:08):
church from centers. The blood circulates through the body by
flowing down one leg and up the other. In spring,
the salmon swim upstream to spoon. Iron was discovered because
someone smelt it, And finally, in the middle of the

(13:35):
eighteenth century, all the Morons moved to Utah. Good morning

(14:04):
to make shows on the radio with s and Billy.

Speaker 11 (26:30):

Business Max is an intensive, three day seminar featuring noted
business consultant John Boy from The Big Show come on
out this weekend and here John Boy's insight on quality control.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Doing something halfway is always an option. It takes a
lot less time, and most people won't notice until it's
too late.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Responsibility.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
It hurts to admit you've made mistakes, but when they're
big enough, the pain only lasts a second.

Speaker 12 (28:52):
Finding your niche.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
If you can't learn to enjoy doing something, well, learn
how to enjoy doing it. Bad problem solving. Sometimes the
best solution to morale problems is just to fire all
the unhappy people. Commitment. Hard work pays off eventually, but
laziness pays off.

Speaker 14 (29:15):

Speaker 1 (29:39):

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Good morning, A big show is on the radio. That's
time for dumb crooked news. I'm Crooked News sending by
you Big Show. Listen y'all send a bunch yo many,
and we appreciate you. The address will follow this report.
Two Chattanooga, Tennessee pot farmers. We're riding around recently. This

(30:27):
will end badly with the two large sacks of newly
harvested pot that needed to be dried out so it
could be sold. Apparently liking the apparatus to do the
job themselves, the men pulled into a local convenience store
and one of them took a bag of pot inside
and loaded it into the store's microwave.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
They don't have a pot button on this lene.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
In no time, the store was filled with the aroma
of reefers, which called the attention of a uniformed police
officer inside the store. Well, the officer whose marked patrol
car had been parked right out front when the men arrived,
who took the guy to cuss it inside. They said,
tell my friend that I'm being arrested. So he woke

(31:12):
him up and found arrested a pot in a car.
Wrested both of them. I'll tell you that stuff makeey stupid. Man.
Two teens in Adrian, Michigan outfit of the nineteen ninety
seven Dodge Intrepid to look like an unmarked police cruiser. Well,
the youths flashed the cars newly installed blue and white
strobe lights that unsuspecting motorists and pulled him over, then

(31:33):
laughed and drove away.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Well.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
The wacky annex came to an end earlier this month
when the pair pulled over a white mini van driven
by Mike Martin, the local chief of police. Martin, dressing
his full uniform, got out of the van, confiscated the
fake cops driver's license, ordered them to follow him to
the police station, where he charged them with impersonating a
police officer.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yes, being stupid, still not against the law.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
A man strolled into a banking Tehran, the capital city
of Iran, and began brazenly snatching money from the hands
of customers. The thief was quickly grabbed and subdued by
his victims, which came as quite a surprise since.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
He thought they couldn't see him.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
We'll see. The man told police he had paid a
sorcerer five million rials about six hundred and twenty five
American bucks for a collection of magic spells that would
make him invisible that were not too good. Police are
now searching for the phony sorcerer as an accessory to
the crime. A man facing drug charges in Wassatch County, Utah,

(32:38):
hoped to get a lighter sentence by writing a letter
of apology to the judge in the case, insisting that
he realized his mistake and was sincerely sorry for the crimes.
The man also jotted down a note to his girlfriend,
boasting to her that the apology letter was completely insincere
and just deployed to get him a lighter sentence. Well, well,
what could go wrong? Yep, the defendant put the two

(33:01):
letters in the wrong envelopes. The girlfriend got the apology
and the judge got the one spelling out. The scam
got six years in federal prisons. Dumb government news or
an anniversary tribute to September eleventh victims, The city of
Jersey City, New Jersey, planned to release a flock of
doves at a solemn downtown ceremony. City officials apparently waited

(33:24):
until the last minute to order the doves and found
local suppliers completely sold out. They wound up having to
replace the doves with a group of pigeons, which had
been caged for almost all of their lives. Well witnesses
at the memorial ceremony watched helpless, liasy, awkward birds careened
into the crowd, smashed into nearby office windows, and plunged

(33:45):
headfirst into the Hudson River.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Ow this thing as easy as it looked.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
It's like the WKRP turkey drop.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Dumb Berkeley News. In December of two thousand and one,
the City of Berkeley, California, launched an experimental pre program
to improve pedestrian safety at four local intersections using bens
of orange flags on the street corners. Now, pedestrians were
supposed to pick up a flag, hold it or wave
it while crossing the street, and then drop it off
in the bend of the opposite corner e Well. Ten

(34:15):
months later, all three thousand of the flags have been
stolen or otherwise disappeared. The city has spent thirty seven
hundred dollars on replacement flags that are yellow instead of orange.
The wide that might make them less likely to disappear
is not clear, and in true Berkeley fashion, the unsuccessful
program is being expanded to three new intersection. Good Ideas

(34:40):
Dumb Union News. Teamsters Local nine eighty eight open this
new meeting hall in Houston, Texas to a firestorm of
unfavorable reviews by local construction workers, plumbers, electricians, and other
trades the problem well. According to the Houston Chronicle, the
teamsters had their new haul built with non union lay
because they decided union work was too expensive. Scud heer

(35:07):
and finally, James F. Wells, a sixty one year old
writer from Lantana, Florida, was arrested after he contacted an
underage girl on the Internet and arranged to meet her
at a local restaurant. Instead of a fifteen year old girl,
he was greeted at the eatery by an adult male
undercover detective. Mister Wells literally wrote the book on making

(35:28):
dumb moves among his published works, as one entitled The
Story of Stupidity, A History of Western idiocy from the
days of Greece to the present. If you got dumb
crook news, maillet to dumb crook News John Boy Miller
