Terrible? Damn play a well done? Wives? Am I right?
This guy knows what I'm talking about. My wife is
a nightmare. She says. I don't respect her privacy. It's
written right there in her diary. She says, I'm the

(14:43):
cheapest person she ever met. I'm not buying it. You
know she almost left me once. She said I was
obsessed with astronomy. What planet is she on? Thank you,
John Boy. I should have known right off that she

(15:05):
was going to be a problem. On our first date,
she said she wouldn't make out with me unless I
put the top down. It took me over an hour.
Makes me wish i'd owned the convertible. Thank you, Jackie. Granted,
I'm a little older than she is. When I first
met her, I said where have you been all my life?
She said, teething. I did try one of those matchmaking places.

(15:31):
I said, I want a companion who is small and cute,
loves water sports, and enjoys group activities. They hooked me
up with a penguin. Damn play a well done?

My friends the dentist than he married a manicurist. They
fight tooth and nail. Scratch that one off. My wife
told me I'm too immature and need to grow up.
Guess who's not invited back to my tree house. She

(16:14):
even accused me of being a transvestige. Can you believe that?
So I packed her things and left. Gotta put a
timer on Jackiet. That woman criticizes every single thing I do.
She told me I'd do a terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger impression.
I said, don't worry, I'll return.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
I appreciate that Sean Diddy Combs has been denied bail
yet again. Look, he will remain at the Metropolitan Detention
Center in Brooklyn as he waits trial, which is slated
to kick off in May. Yeah, a federal judge agreed
with prosecutors that mister Ditty cannot be trusted to follow rules.
If he's freed on bail, he's proved to violate the

(21:22):
rules while inside the detention center. So the judge ruled
this last week. The court finds that the government has shown,
by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination
of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community.
There's compelling evidence of Combe's propensity for violence. And that's
according to the Hollywood Report.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Are so dude, you are stuck?

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Just stop.

Speaker 9 (21:46):
I don't know if you've got to see this over
the holidays, but Hallmark had a Chief's Love Story on
the on air. Hallmark Channel, which is headquartered in Kansas City,
partnered with the NFL chief to make Holiday Touchdown a
Chief's Love Story made for TV movie, which is inspired

(22:06):
by I Wonder Who and so Holiday Touchdown a Chief's
Love Story stars Hunter King as a superfan of her
hometown football team, and her character falls for the team's
director of fan Engagement played by Hallmark veteran Tyler hints.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Oh is not a player.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Director of fan Engagement, so.

Speaker 9 (22:32):
There is a cameo by the Kansas City Chiefs coach
and by Donna Kelce. So Snoop Dogg has a daughter
and she's engaged, and he gave her a pretty nifty
wedding gift.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
He gave her one million dollars.

Speaker 9 (22:53):
He said, I told her if it was me, my
wedding would have been one hundred dollars and nine hundred
would have gone in my pocket. So, of course, his daughter,
whose name is Corey Uh. The ceremony was temporarily postponed
after she had suffered a stroke earlier this year, so
they planned on having the wedding earlier, but now that
they've had to put it off. They put it off

(23:14):
just in time for an e special Snoop's Fatherhood Corey
and Wayne's story. Wayne is the son in law to
be the groom. That's convenient, all right. The fifty three
year old joke that he often has Wayne's back over
his daughters when the two are having trouble working through
their issues. Yo, man, yo, slims is, He says, he's

(23:34):
always in the right Snoop.

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Like very much, all right everything.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh yeah, I got it, you're likable.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Shut up, he's hot right now?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Go ahead, nice hair?

Speaker 16 (23:57):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I would I would hate the player, man.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
That's what Jackie. I amuse my girl.

Speaker 9 (24:06):
Okay, well, then I know you're gonna love this story.
You know you heard about Hunter Biden being parted.

Speaker 13 (24:14):
Man.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
He was not going to pardon him.

Speaker 9 (24:20):
After previously stating that he wouldn't use his executive authority
to pardon Hunter in two federal cases, the outgoing president
reverse course on the first of December and announced a sweeping,
full and unconditional pardon for any offenses the fifty four
year old has committed, or may have committed, or taken
part in during the period from January first, twenty fourteen

(24:42):
through December first, twenty twenty four.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
Who can argue with that?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
So Hunter and the Turkey were pardoned.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
We're clearly stating what needed to be checked.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Oh, because he figured out it was like politically inspired.

Speaker 11 (25:02):
You use your tongue.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Well.

Speaker 9 (25:06):
In a statement that he released on December first, Biden said,
I believe in the justice system, but as I have
wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected
this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.
And once I made this decision this weekend, there was
no sense in delaying it further.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
He continued on.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's like something he would say, none finished.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
He said, He's like, come on, jeez, no. I hope
Americans will understand why a father and a president would
come to this decision. No reasonable person who looks at
the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion.
Then Hunter was singled out only because he is my son,
and that is wrong. There has been an effort to

(25:51):
break Hunter, who has been five and a half years sober,
even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective persecution
and trying to break hunter.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
They've tried to break me.

Speaker 9 (26:01):
I'm almost done and there's no reason to believe it
will stop here.

Speaker 12 (26:05):
Enough is enough?

Speaker 10 (26:06):
Man?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, political Donald Trump said, have you seen me the
last eight years?

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Now? Can I do it?

Speaker 18 (26:14):
Now?

Speaker 7 (26:15):

ever had one or more of these in their mouths
than among the ones who have, ninety percent of them
have or will have them surgically removed.

Speaker 9 (26:50):

a popular television series that lasted twenty seasons, it could
be argued that this female character is also Hollywood's most

(29:17):
famous female impersonator of all time. What you got, Harley?

Speaker 12 (29:25):
Okay, is it Lassie?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Let's see?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Is it the dog Lassie? Yes, so you're thinking about
what just one dog and never thought about that, you know,
it never showed his junk there.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
It was always played by a male dog.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
So it was a bunch of lasses right, yeah, and
all of them were males.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, all by the same trainer too, from the same lineage.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh well, how about that. It just sounds better the
same girls.

Speaker 8 (30:00):
I think they said a total of eight dogs played
the role of lasting Lassie.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
All right, well how about you, Harley?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
You have got the assortment of small batch hand cooked
peanuts from bird T County Peanuts, a Southern tradition for
over one hundred years, from my home state, North Carolina
to you down then, Georgia. Hardly good work, baby, Okay,
thank you, yes, sir? Yeah, morning, I got the big
show on the radio. Hey, yeah, hang on for we
get to the news man. All about Lassie. We've found

(30:30):
out so Lassie was a male. All of the Lassies
were male male collies. The choice was primarily for their
consistent appearance, Like you said, aroundy female colleagues tend to
blow their coats during each heat cycle, resulting in significant
shedding that can make them look smaller. So in contrast,

(30:53):
male collige shed only seasonally and much less noticeable. So
in all, between the first Movie and nighteen forty three
and the end of the TV series in nineteen seventy three,
nine different male dogs played the role of Lastie. No,
how about that man? So how many little Timmys were there?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
There was actually two Timmy, and before that it was Jeff.
Is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
I just thought to get a new one every time
I'd fall down the whale. That seemed to happen a lot. Well,
that things about lasting. I'm learn this stuff about last year.

Speaker 16 (31:28):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
There you might miss something, learn us all right over.

Speaker 14 (32:02):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one exports.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Him morning.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
The Big Show is on your radio.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Raybird wonders if we know that this is no name
calling week.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
Here? It is right on right on the prep sheet,
right eight line. New York Associated Press. Middle schools across
America are observing no name calling week. The program now
that second year takes say as insults of all kinds.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Oh, well, you should know this is not middle school.
This is grammar. S.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
No, this is robber room. Whether they're based on the
child's appearance background on behavior. The initiative has the backing
of the Girls Scouts on Amnesty International. But guess who
came up with the idea Let me yes, developed by
the Gay Straight Education Network about that which seeks to

(33:10):
ensure that school safety accommodate students of all sexual.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Orients and gay people come up with some of the
best names.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
That's right, and I get back to their subject of
the day.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Write that down for a quote of parliamentary procedure is
cheap skates, skin flinting, freelod or name. Yeah, all right,
I'm sorry, Bob, all right.

Speaker 6 (33:32):
I thought I could get my day without getting trashed
by my cohort.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
What are they going to do?

Speaker 6 (33:38):
And they don't have rape for to kick around anymore?
We got to make up stuff about and tell on
the radio. Now about that movie idea I suggested yesterday morning.
You know, at the end of the show, I said
I had an idea to revive a project that was
talked about and talked about on this show several years ago.
Man didn't they talk about it. Who the making of

(33:59):
a feat?

Speaker 5 (34:00):
I just talked about the same bank.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
That's right. And the project never got off the ground.
The people still wonder. They still asked me on the
street what happened to the movie they were gonna make. Well,
it was just like the the desert men who folded
their tents and has quietly faded away.

Speaker 12 (34:19):
In fact, that was the plot.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
Yeah, that's part of problem.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
So after visiting a big new movie production facility in
Ashville over the weekend, I got the idea, not the
movie production man, as Pillows has already assumed it was,
And is my idea if I get a commission office, y'all,
not man, And you can nip that in the bud

(34:43):
by get in touch with mister Merwin Gross, the executive producer.
Fact is, I didn't even mention that to him, and
I was up there Friday. It's just the light bulb
went off in my head yesterday morning.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Right here.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
That's all right, as my mother used to say, that's
all right. Look how much they're talking about such a project.
And thanks to Tim for recognizing that I'm more active
and all the rest of this bunch put together. Well,
not that it would take a hole of I have
only seventy seven, not eighty nine. And as my mother
used to say that I saw, all right, the rest

(35:17):
of them won't make it to my age anyway, only brats.
I'm not gonna be around to see it when they
drop off long time before.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
This is what I got to look forward to. Take
me now, mister Randon.

Speaker 18 (35:29):
Yeah, he started to say, like Nixon and sixty four,
they're not going to have Nixon to cut around anymore.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
And Randy, dear Randy, I didn't do it. Dear Randy.
For once, he kept his smart ass putting.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Down the Knox to himself, I knew you were bringing
me a sweater.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
I wonder if he knew I was bringing him a
nice new yellow cashmere sweater this morning, and it only
had one.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Mouth hold in it well too, but provided courtesy of
the enclosed out racket men's warehouse, that's men's wearhouse.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
I love you all, but I say again, what will
you do when you don't have over?

Speaker 3 (36:08):
I am not a crook?

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Goodness, don't you don't have Bob Brayford to kick around anymore?

Speaker 13 (36:15):
Right?

Speaker 6 (36:16):
All right, I ain't got no plans to retire. I
work at the pleasure. Mister boy.

Speaker 3 (36:22):

in here, you got a job, Buddy, I told you that. See,
that's an inspiration all.

Good Wednesday morning, and you got the big show on
the radio Dcember you Ford twenty twenty four.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
Right here we go.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Well, I'm pretty sure we're the only radio show in
their own resident poet Lauriat and he's popped in for
a visit this morning. Please welcome back, Colonel Hamilton Brewster.
How are you, Colonel? Well, I haven't had my morning
coffee and no one's got hurt yet.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
So I say, so far, so good.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Now you never come through that door without a poem.
So what have you got for us today?

Speaker 5 (37:55):
Will John Boy with summer in the rearview mirror, and
we're smack dabbing the middle of the holidays, I thought
i'd recall a tale from my youth. It's called the
Clarksville Brothel. Thanksgiving go something like this. When I was
a lad in rural Alabama and Thanksgiving rolled around, all
the kin folk in shirt tail relations showed up like

(38:18):
hungry hounds. It was a big old orgy of gluttony
on such a massive scale. By the time we was done,
it looked like SeaWorld with greasy redneck whales. But I'll
never forget that special year when the economy took a dive,
jobs were scarce and wages were low. Folks struggled to

(38:40):
stay alive. So when Thanksgiving time came, the mood was gloved.
We all were quite aware there'd be little to be
thankful for this time round. The dinner tables all lay bare.
But miracles happened when they're needed the most, to lift
folks up when they're down, And this thanks Giving was

(39:00):
positive proof when the brothel fed the whole town. The
one place that thrived when the times got tough was
the brothel near the old Jenkins Place. So the gals
paid their good fortune forward and invited all to come
stuff their face well. The women folk went pale. Look
the very thought, what do trollops know about cooking? But

(39:23):
the men folk were tickled plumb to death that their
food might be as good as they're hooking. The aromas
that flowed from those windows that day were different than
we could recall, turkey and ham and taters and stuffing
instead of cheap perfume and stale pall malls. Folks didn't

(39:45):
know quite what to expect. The women all had jangled nerves.
Would there be whips, chains and adult types of toys?
Would they be eating next to some pervs? The ladies
were clean and dressed to the nines. No black course,
It's all trimmed in red. They weren't ladies of the night,
just ladies that day, and they presented a different kind

(40:07):
of spread. Nearly fifty hungry folks bullied up to the
trough all the trimmings and gravy by the vat. The
pastor went pale when he found a hare in his ham,
but was relieved to learn they had a cat ha ha.
The pastor led all in a thanksgiving prayer, and the

(40:28):
reverence that moment evokes. It's important to remember at the
end of the day, no matter what. Folks is, just
folks as they ate their dessert. It was like Old
Home Week, the ladies swapping recipes and joking. They forgot
all about what the girls did for a living, and
they were the gals that their husbands were poking.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
You like having Yeah, good.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Morning, The Big show's on a radio and more big
show right around the corner.

Speaker 11 (41:00):
I'm working with mister Bill Cox over his outfit, and
I like listening to John Boy and Billy and not
their Big show. I like the way they talk.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
They're funny hahah not funny queers, that's what they say.

Speaker 11 (41:15):
Anyhow, I figured out why John Boy has a hard
time getting started in the morning. I ain't gotten the gaze.

Speaker 6 (41:56):
Come morning.

Speaker 5 (41:57):
All right, I'll give up.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
What kind of Christmas song is they is?

Speaker 5 (42:00):

Speaker 1 (42:02):
It's an editor of the Madonna version.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
Actually yeah Madonna.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah, it was a big band version that they did.

Speaker 9 (42:11):

Speaker 1 (42:12):
