In New York, man gave a dark twist to one
of America's most beloved characters last weekend. The middle age,
possibly mentally disturbed suspect was dressed as Sesame Street's Elmo.
He was ejected from Central Park after going on a loud,
anti Semitic tirade against passers by in the park. The
(01:22):
imitation almost dirty, smelly costume didn't do him any favors either.
The hostile outbursts were reportedly aimed at pedestrians who refused
to come over and pay him five bucks to.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Pose for a souvenir photo.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
It's safe to say this is a guy who doesn't
understand the concept of marketing, but then again, crazy people
in Central Park is nothing new. Later that same day,
New York's Finans also had to deal with a drunk Batman,
the tramp stamp wonder Woman or see iron Man with
the rusty underwear.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
They got Joe.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Oh for good choices, but I believe I got to
go and see you, Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The Priest back. Where do you go? All right?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (02:11):

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Dip pointed in microsfore Man, I know what I'm doing?
What come on?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Bloody hell?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Hello, This is Ozzie Osbourne and I hate bubbles, but
I love John Boy and Billy and the whole gang
at the Big Show.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Who are we talking about? Rock and roll?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
M good morning, you got the Big Show on the radio?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Hey and listen this It make you feel good about szep.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
If we could shrink the Earth population to a village
of precisely one hundred people, with all the existing human
ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this.
It would be fifty seven Asians, twenty one Europeans, fourteen
for the western hemisphere both north and south, eight Africans,
fifty two would be female, forty eight would be male,
(03:41):
seventy would be non white, thirty would be white, seventy
would be non Christian, thirty would be Christian, eighty nine
would be heterosexual, eleven would be homosexual. Six people would
possess fifty nine percent of the entire world's wealth, and
all six would be from the United States.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Would live in substandard housing.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Seventy would be unable to read, fifty would suffer from malnutrition.
One would be near death, one would be near birth.
One would have a college education, one would own a computer.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective,
the need for acceptance, understanding, and education becomes glaringly apparent.
Following is also something to ponder. If you woke up
this morning with more health than illness, you are more
blessed than the million who will not survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the
loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs
(04:36):
of starvation, you are ahead of five hundred million people
in the world. If you can attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you're more
blessed than three billion people in the world. If you
have food and the refrigerator close on your back of,
roof overhead, and a place to sleep. You are richer
than seventy five percent of the world if you have
(04:57):
money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change.
In addition place, you're among the top eight percent of
the world's wealthy.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You can read this message.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
You're more blessed than over two billion people in the
world that can't read it all. Someone once said, what
goes around comes around. Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like nobody's watching,
Sing like nobody's listening, Live like it's heaven, owner, and
quit running our life.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Blow it out your heart.
Speaker 1 (06:01):

Through the Discovery Channel, they said. The foebles go out
big packs to hunt for food, and when they catch something,
they break it home and share it with the bales.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So the men layer out all day and uh the
women go out and bring on the food. Well, now
I reckon that's why they call him kick of the beast.
Thing that's going there, chack picker Marma, Hall, you think

O Marma, We'll love.
Speaker 9 (07:43):

twenty six years old in cat years.

of course. Uh, he probably ain't quite as fast as
he used to be.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
Well, so you might be surprised. Fang here can still
move pretty fast when he wants to. In fact, he
had old Hillary Clinton and some of her people on
two here last week and one of them got a
little too close to the edge and tumbled right over
into the habitat. Oh my goodness, and that's just what
that little democrat said.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That old thing was all over him.

Earlier, whereas aster A Herd and I needed we had
a star question. So and Randy, you were wrong. After
a Nerd is gonna point that out. I know how

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Somebody in Missouri and Pennsylvania are celebrating this morning. Powerball
officials say this whether two winning tickets were sold a
lot of Spokesman Sue Dooley says she was walking through
the holler trying to make a dollar, and she says
the winners don't have to come forward right away. They
may take a couple of days to get used to
the idea of their sudden riches.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh yeah, that's what I'd do. I'm just curious where
do the normal people, okay, the normal looking people.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Go to buy their lottery tickets?
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Told me, yes, you went and bought lottery this idea,
and they weren't no normal people in any of the lines.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I stood in, yeah, and you got on me.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
When I was calling a bunch of losers yesterday, there
was this one guy, big burly guy, who turned with
every ticket that he had filled out to have his
girlfriend rub the ticket on.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Her boobies before he handed it off to put in
the machine. But she was good for something, and I
know one I just won't get something out of it.
And before you ask, yes, I asked her to do my.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Now, Randy, you know what they say, it's a tax

Speaker 4 (12:51):
All right, important tips, Good morning, A big show is
al radio?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Asker there?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Get the microphone there man. First of all, the question
earlier this week had something to do with a star, right.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yes, what was the question?
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Well, it was something about when a star's core collapsed,
what would be the result? And I think the answers
were a black hole, white dwarf or I forget what
The third well to the answer that was given was
the white dwarf. But two of those answers could have
(13:26):
been correct. I mean, let me read it out of
the book here now I brought this book. This book
is uh, the complete Idiot's Guide to astronoming funny than
you would have't.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Hey, look it's got you on the The publisher has
to give the author.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
I didn't have to explain all the math to rand right, okay,
all right, now it says a low mass star evolves
into a red giant and ultimately into white dwarfs.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
A high mass star greater than ten a five to
ten solar masses die spectacularly when their course collapse, and
the remnant is either a neutron star or a black hole.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Ah, there you go. A black hole would have been
the correct answer. Why can't he turned that energy into
something useful?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Fuck that boy with no legs who ran across Canada?

Oh man, all right, well there now watch it? All right,

at the good dude?
Speaker 15 (22:26):
What's a bad dude?
Speaker 13 (22:27):
They beat all men softball teams. You know, we had
a woman visited the church on Sunday. She was from Greenwood, Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
How bad does she make the beds? That's not said,
I'm just telling me about it.
Speaker 13 (22:39):
She was a member of the Anie, our first free
will primitive Baptist church, and that was my very first
pastorate when I became a minister.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
What's a good dude.
Speaker 13 (22:49):
I'll never forget a lot of memories back there in Greenwood.
I first went down there and walked into a hornet's nest.
Oh it was terrible. Two brothers, Rufus and Chester Brown,
both of what rich as they could be, and both
of them just mean as snakes.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
They ran the whole church, always telling everybody.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
What to do. They even try to tell the pastor
what to do. That's why he left before I came in. See,
I didn't know all this. I found out when I
walked in. Uh huh, So I figured out I was
gonna have to do something about it. And just as
I was getting ready to sit down and talk to
these men, one of them drop dead of a heart
attack right.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
In his office.
Speaker 13 (23:22):
Chester Brown drop dead. So the next day his brother, Rufus,
come see me, he says, Row. First of all, I
want to welcome you to the church. Did you know
we have a building fine drive going on right now?
I said yes, I did. He said, why have you
seen how much we need to meet our goal? I said, yeah,
it looks like we're trying for two hundred thousand dollars. Well,
Rufus pulls out his check book and writes out of
check sits down in front of me. It's a check
(23:42):
for two hundred thousand dollars, the full amount. I said,
Rufus is might of generous son. He said, why, Now,
there's one stipulation that goes along with this money. Now,
you're gonna be preaching my brother's funeral tomorrow. When you do,
I want you to tell all the people a little congregation.
My brother was an absolute saint. I hope I've made
myself perfectly clear. And with that he got up and
(24:04):
walked right out of the office. Well, I went to
the elders of the church. I said, I think we
got ourselves a dilemma here. I explained what happened. I said,
you know, the Bible says walk to them to call
good evil and evil good. And they said, well, rather,
the final decision is between you and the Lord, but
we really need that two hundred thousand dollars. Well, me
and the Lord sit up all night working on that.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Tried a long About dawn, the Lord told.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
Me what I needed to do.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
So I went to the church at.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Eleven o'clock to preach the funeral.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I stood up in the.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
Poolpit, I said, brothers and sisters, Chester Brown was a
thoroughly evil man. He never made an honest nickel in
his whole life. He never did nothing for nobody unless
it was something minty for him. He was a cheat,
He was a scoundrel, He was a bully. You could
have heard a pin drop in there. I turned around
to where Rufus was sitting.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I said, but.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
Compared to his brother, he was an absolute saint. And
now speaking of a sly, shady way to make a living,

Speaker 9 (26:25):
Oh man, we got.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Good morning, the Big Show. It's on the radio. Let's
welcome Mick Foley with us. Hello, Mick, Yes, you're on
the air. Nice Meg Foley, wrestler, writer three times w W,
A champion, author of.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yes and the Real World is Faker than Wrestling, which
is true? Tell me about that. I adn't got to
read that book yet.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Oh man. I would just point out the first time
I got involved in doing a book where they had
a ghost writer for me, you know, and the guy
reads me his first page and he says, hey, I
tell you something, Michael, I'm a writing fool. You don't, Manma,
I'll just rattle it off for batim be chick in
my head and he goes. I was born Michael Francis Foley,
a typical Irish name, if ever there was one, But
(27:38):
my family was not the typical Irish image of free
flowing beer on Saturdays and church on Sundays. Heck. I
didn't even have my first communion until I was nineteen,
an age when most of the kids on the block
already had their first girl. I mean, what kind of
girl would want to go out with a guy who
hadn't had communion? And he goes, what I tell you,
Michael am I writing full What do you think? I said, Well,
(28:01):
there's this couple of things wrong with it. He said, okay, okay.
I said, well, first off, I think most of the
guys in the block of their first girl when they
were twelve, not nineteen. He said, okay, I can fix that.
He said, what else? I said, Well, I don't think
that communion is a prerequisite for dating. You know, you
don't see girls saying jeez, I like him at all,
(28:22):
and she's nice, but that damn communion, you know. And
he goes, okay, I can fix that. And what the
other thing? I said, I didn't say any of that,
you know, And he goes, well, that's what I do.
I make it up. And I thought, this is the
literary world clearly faker than wrestling. That's just that's but
(28:43):
one of many examples that when compared to the rest
of the world, wrestling is the real deal.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
So when did you know that you had a knack
for riding her? When did you think you might like
to like a dale in Adette World.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
About a day after he read me that we were
in Tallahassee, Florida, I was about four hours earlier. I
had a legal pad, so I went up into the
upper level of the Tallahassee Civic Center started writing. You know,
I started showing it to the guys backstage, and they
loved it. They were laughing, and they were the guys
who were telling the eighth this is great. So the
(29:18):
hardest part about it was trying to convince the publisher
that I could do it myself. When I called up
the WWF representative and said, yeah, you know, i'm in
trouble with my writer, because I will fire mom. We'll
get somebody else. And I said, well, actually I'm thinking
about doing it myself, and the phone went I thought
it went dead. I thought, so I lost him. But
he just was kind of speechless. And I'm sure he
(29:40):
had a great time trying to convince the you know,
the publisher that the wrestler guy could do it himself.
But I sent it in, sent in about seventy pages
of handwritten work and they and they liked it.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And the rest is kind of history there, and you
got into a couple of children's books too.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah, I got into children's books. I wrote a real
sensitive Christmas book about a special child who puts the
spirit back into a broken hearted Santa Claus, so sensitive
that it was banned in stores across the country. Wow,
a naked elf, the naked elf who actually doesn't even
show any kind of packages or anything, the same stores
(30:21):
that a month later, proudly I had Cupid as they're
on their billboards, you know, another naked little guy. But
then I thought I'd give this fiction a try. I
loved doing the writing, thought that the wrestling world was
sick of my real life stories, so I kind of
made up one of my own.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Not da last sume made because both your autobiographers each
number one on the New York Times National bestseller list.
So now when you pick up the phone, you get
a little respect, I guess these guys.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, So I was not laughed at when I
said I wanted to write a novel, which was a
good thing. Actually I just mentioned it in an article
and I got an offer like it was like, you know, jeez,
you know novelists, you know, killed for this type of thing.
And I eventually I didn't take the offer because I'm
maybe this makes me a lousy businessman, but I have
trouble taking money for something I haven't done.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Really, yeah, you've never organization. Well, I tell us about
Tetum Brown, your novel.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Oh man. This is another case where I thought I'd
written a sensitive coming of age story, and in some
ways I had, but people started reading it. You know.
I had a group of people like Barry Blaustein, the
director of Beyond the Map movie, and I was out
in England where I was the host for Robot Wars,
and I get a message from Barry Blaustein and he's like, haunted.
(31:42):
It's like, marry it. I just finished a book. I
love it, but it's so disturbing, and you know what, like,
person after person kept reading it and finding it dark
and disturbing, and I was like, I don't get it.
I don't get it. Now.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
It is the naked in.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
This, but there's a uh. Well, the first image I
had in my head for this book is that of
this sensitive seventeen year old boy coming back from his
first date where he's held hands with the girl whose
dreams and life couldn't be better for him. And now
he walks in and his father is exercising naked while
drinking heavily, and I thought, that's my first image, you know.
(32:24):
And then the dad, you know, wants to talk about
the date, and the sweat's pouring down the guy he's got.
The father's got a girl waiting upstairs for him, and
he embraces his naked, drunk father, and and that scene
one and I thought, you know, that gives me enough
to go on. But if anyone's listening, I say, at
this sounds all right, But I don't know. If I
want to read a book by a wrestler, you can
(32:44):
check out Mick Foley dot com, where I've taken some
specific excerpts that I thought that people would like to
kind of show the you know everything, ranging from the
tender relationship with the boy and his girlfriend to the
weird sex to the graphic violence. So it's a little
sum thing for everyone. Book Page Magazine, which a pretty
major review magazine, said that my book was a strange
(33:07):
mix of JD. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, which is
a compliment for any writer, and Brett ellis Easton's American Psycho.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
So wow, you know, what psycho, Yeah, psycho in the Rye.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Don't more of them like that? So I think for
anyone who likes their sensitive coming of age stories, you know,
laced with violence, that this is the book they've been waring.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Who doesn't, Yeah, exactly, Well that's called Tetum Brown.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
You go to Mickfoley dot com check it out coaching
botot Amazon dot com.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
I think that's true.

Speaker 7 (00:59):
In New York, man gave a dark twist to one
of America's most beloved characters last weekend. The middle age,
possibly mentally disturbed suspect was dressed as Sesame Street's Elmo.
He was ejected from Central Park after going on a loud,
anti Semitic tirade against passers by in the park. The
(01:22):
imitation almost dirty, smelly costume didn't do him any favors either.
The hostile outbursts were reportedly aimed at pedestrians who refused
to come over and pay him five bucks to.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Pose for a souvenir photo.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
It's safe to say this is a guy who doesn't
understand the concept of marketing, but then again, crazy people
in Central Park is nothing new. Later that same day,
New York's Finans also had to deal with a drunk Batman,
the tramp stamp wonder Woman or see iron Man with
the rusty underwear.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
They got Joe.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Oh for good choices, but I believe I got to
go and see you, Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The Priest back. Where do you go? All right?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah my boy?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
You hang on, Jackie, get your info ground Joel from
the Big Show.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Good morning, the Big Shows on the radio.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Dip pointed in microsfore Man, I know what I'm doing?
What come on?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Bloody hell?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Hello, This is Ozzie Osbourne and I hate bubbles, but
I love John Boy and Billy and the whole gang
at the Big Show.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Who are we talking about? Rock and roll?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
M good morning, you got the Big Show on the radio?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Hey and listen this It make you feel good about szep.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
If we could shrink the Earth population to a village
of precisely one hundred people, with all the existing human
ratios remaining the same, it would look something like this.
It would be fifty seven Asians, twenty one Europeans, fourteen
for the western hemisphere both north and south, eight Africans,
fifty two would be female, forty eight would be male,
(03:41):
seventy would be non white, thirty would be white, seventy
would be non Christian, thirty would be Christian, eighty nine
would be heterosexual, eleven would be homosexual. Six people would
possess fifty nine percent of the entire world's wealth, and
all six would be from the United States.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Would live in substandard housing.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Seventy would be unable to read, fifty would suffer from malnutrition.
One would be near death, one would be near birth.
One would have a college education, one would own a computer.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective,
the need for acceptance, understanding, and education becomes glaringly apparent.
Following is also something to ponder. If you woke up
this morning with more health than illness, you are more
blessed than the million who will not survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the
loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs
(04:36):
of starvation, you are ahead of five hundred million people
in the world. If you can attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you're more
blessed than three billion people in the world. If you
have food and the refrigerator close on your back of,
roof overhead, and a place to sleep. You are richer
than seventy five percent of the world if you have
(04:57):
money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change.
In addition place, you're among the top eight percent of
the world's wealthy.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You can read this message.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
You're more blessed than over two billion people in the
world that can't read it all. Someone once said, what
goes around comes around. Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like nobody's watching,
Sing like nobody's listening, Live like it's heaven, owner, and
quit running our life.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Blow it out your heart.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Good morning to big shows on the radio. It's time.
Speaker 8 (06:06):

Through the Discovery Channel, they said. The foebles go out
big packs to hunt for food, and when they catch something,
they break it home and share it with the bales.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So the men layer out all day and uh the
women go out and bring on the food. Well, now
I reckon that's why they call him kick of the beast.
Thing that's going there, chack picker Marma, Hall, you think
thing is.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
O Marma, We'll love.
Speaker 9 (07:43):
The Discovery Channel says that the boot lines of the
wide older live about better ted years, but ones that

is twenty five.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You know what, I hate to break up this little mutual?
Oh ma, all thinking got going on here? Uh? Marla Perkins?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Hello, why don't you ask that zoo fella over there? Heye, no,

here's a maron old fang over here and the lions.
Then you got any idea how old he is?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I have a puffeck idea how old he is?

Suh, he's eighteen years old, which is one hundred and
twenty six years old in cat years.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Son of.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Twenty six. I reckon that's pretty old for a line,
of course. Uh, he probably ain't quite as fast as
he used to be.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
Well, so you might be surprised. Fang here can still
move pretty fast when he wants to. In fact, he
had old Hillary Clinton and some of her people on
two here last week and one of them got a
little too close to the edge and tumbled right over
into the habitat. Oh my goodness, and that's just what
that little democrat said.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That old thing was all over him.
Speaker 11 (09:00):
In about three seconds, having completely devoured before he could
even get the trickle as a gun out.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Ten of um, I'll be dipped, hainty my have buh?

Hey, mister, why is he looking himself on the butt

Psycho and aster Nerd are having a discussion about yesterday
stoopid Quiz.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
The movie Dumb and Dumber was wrong. That sound is
not the most annoying sound in the world. Listening to
them talk is thought there was the moon now it's
not a planet.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Earlier, whereas aster A Herd and I needed we had
a star question. So and Randy, you were wrong. After
a Nerd is gonna point that out. I know how
you love that. So I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Well, if that's true, I still don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Somebody in Missouri and Pennsylvania are celebrating this morning. Powerball
officials say this whether two winning tickets were sold a
lot of Spokesman Sue Dooley says she was walking through
the holler trying to make a dollar, and she says
the winners don't have to come forward right away. They
may take a couple of days to get used to
the idea of their sudden riches.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Oh yeah, that's what I'd do. I'm just curious where
do the normal people, okay, the normal looking people.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Go to buy their lottery tickets?
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Told me, yes, you went and bought lottery this idea,
and they weren't no normal people in any of the lines.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I stood in, yeah, and you got on me.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
When I was calling a bunch of losers yesterday, there
was this one guy, big burly guy, who turned with
every ticket that he had filled out to have his
girlfriend rub the ticket on.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Her boobies before he handed it off to put in
the machine. But she was good for something, and I
know one I just won't get something out of it.
And before you ask, yes, I asked her to do my.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Now, Randy, you know what they say, it's a tax
on stupid people, to which I say, and it's about.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
All right, important tips, Good morning, A big show is
al radio?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Asker there?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Get the microphone there man. First of all, the question
earlier this week had something to do with a star, right.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yes, what was the question?
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Well, it was something about when a star's core collapsed,
what would be the result? And I think the answers
were a black hole, white dwarf or I forget what
The third well to the answer that was given was
the white dwarf. But two of those answers could have
(13:26):
been correct. I mean, let me read it out of
the book here now I brought this book. This book
is uh, the complete Idiot's Guide to astronoming funny than
you would have't.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Hey, look it's got you on the The publisher has
to give the author.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
I didn't have to explain all the math to rand right, okay,
all right, now it says a low mass star evolves
into a red giant and ultimately into white dwarfs.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
A high mass star greater than ten a five to
ten solar masses die spectacularly when their course collapse, and
the remnant is either a neutron star or a black hole.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Ah, there you go. A black hole would have been
the correct answer. Why can't he turned that energy into
something useful?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Fuck that boy with no legs who ran across Canada?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh man, all right, well there now watch it? All right,

This morning, ludy and gentlemen. The good news is our
women's softball team won their first game over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
All right, I say, what's the bad dud called up
at the good dude?
Speaker 15 (22:26):
What's a bad dude?
Speaker 13 (22:27):
They beat all men softball teams. You know, we had
a woman visited the church on Sunday. She was from Greenwood, Mississippi.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
How bad does she make the beds? That's not said,
I'm just telling me about it.
Speaker 13 (22:39):
She was a member of the Anie, our first free
will primitive Baptist church, and that was my very first
pastorate when I became a minister.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
What's a good dude.
Speaker 13 (22:49):
I'll never forget a lot of memories back there in Greenwood.
I first went down there and walked into a hornet's nest.
Oh it was terrible. Two brothers, Rufus and Chester Brown,
both of what rich as they could be, and both
of them just mean as snakes.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
They ran the whole church, always telling everybody.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
What to do. They even try to tell the pastor
what to do. That's why he left before I came in. See,
I didn't know all this. I found out when I
walked in. Uh huh, So I figured out I was
gonna have to do something about it. And just as
I was getting ready to sit down and talk to
these men, one of them drop dead of a heart
attack right.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
In his office.
Speaker 13 (23:22):
Chester Brown drop dead. So the next day his brother, Rufus,
come see me, he says, Row. First of all, I
want to welcome you to the church. Did you know
we have a building fine drive going on right now?
I said yes, I did. He said, why have you
seen how much we need to meet our goal? I said, yeah,
it looks like we're trying for two hundred thousand dollars. Well,
Rufus pulls out his check book and writes out of
check sits down in front of me. It's a check
(23:42):
for two hundred thousand dollars, the full amount. I said,
Rufus is might of generous son. He said, why, Now,
there's one stipulation that goes along with this money. Now,
you're gonna be preaching my brother's funeral tomorrow. When you do,
I want you to tell all the people a little congregation.
My brother was an absolute saint. I hope I've made
myself perfectly clear. And with that he got up and
(24:04):
walked right out of the office. Well, I went to
the elders of the church. I said, I think we
got ourselves a dilemma here. I explained what happened. I said,
you know, the Bible says walk to them to call
good evil and evil good. And they said, well, rather,
the final decision is between you and the Lord, but
we really need that two hundred thousand dollars. Well, me
and the Lord sit up all night working on that.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Tried a long About dawn, the Lord told.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
Me what I needed to do.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
So I went to the church at.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Eleven o'clock to preach the funeral.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I stood up in the.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
Poolpit, I said, brothers and sisters, Chester Brown was a
thoroughly evil man. He never made an honest nickel in
his whole life. He never did nothing for nobody unless
it was something minty for him. He was a cheat,
He was a scoundrel, He was a bully. You could
have heard a pin drop in there. I turned around
to where Rufus was sitting.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I said, but.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
Compared to his brother, he was an absolute saint. And
now speaking of a sly, shady way to make a living,
ladies and gentlemen have he's good thing.
Speaker 15 (24:59):
Bay by twelve, I appreciate you god messiej and heydup on,

Let's see your boat.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Oh man, we got.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Good morning, the Big Show. It's on the radio. Let's
welcome Mick Foley with us. Hello, Mick, Yes, you're on
the air. Nice Meg Foley, wrestler, writer three times w W,
A champion, author of.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yes and the Real World is Faker than Wrestling, which
is true? Tell me about that. I adn't got to
read that book yet.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Oh man. I would just point out the first time
I got involved in doing a book where they had
a ghost writer for me, you know, and the guy
reads me his first page and he says, hey, I
tell you something, Michael, I'm a writing fool. You don't, Manma,
I'll just rattle it off for batim be chick in
my head and he goes. I was born Michael Francis Foley,
a typical Irish name, if ever there was one, But
(27:38):
my family was not the typical Irish image of free
flowing beer on Saturdays and church on Sundays. Heck. I
didn't even have my first communion until I was nineteen,
an age when most of the kids on the block
already had their first girl. I mean, what kind of
girl would want to go out with a guy who
hadn't had communion? And he goes, what I tell you,
Michael am I writing full What do you think? I said, Well,
(28:01):
there's this couple of things wrong with it. He said, okay, okay.
I said, well, first off, I think most of the
guys in the block of their first girl when they
were twelve, not nineteen. He said, okay, I can fix that.
He said, what else? I said, Well, I don't think
that communion is a prerequisite for dating. You know, you
don't see girls saying jeez, I like him at all,
(28:22):
and she's nice, but that damn communion, you know. And
he goes, okay, I can fix that. And what the
other thing? I said, I didn't say any of that,
you know, And he goes, well, that's what I do.
I make it up. And I thought, this is the
literary world clearly faker than wrestling. That's just that's but
(28:43):
one of many examples that when compared to the rest
of the world, wrestling is the real deal.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
So when did you know that you had a knack
for riding her? When did you think you might like
to like a dale in Adette World.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
About a day after he read me that we were
in Tallahassee, Florida, I was about four hours earlier. I
had a legal pad, so I went up into the
upper level of the Tallahassee Civic Center started writing. You know,
I started showing it to the guys backstage, and they
loved it. They were laughing, and they were the guys
who were telling the eighth this is great. So the
(29:18):
hardest part about it was trying to convince the publisher
that I could do it myself. When I called up
the WWF representative and said, yeah, you know, i'm in
trouble with my writer, because I will fire mom. We'll
get somebody else. And I said, well, actually I'm thinking
about doing it myself, and the phone went I thought
it went dead. I thought, so I lost him. But
he just was kind of speechless. And I'm sure he
(29:40):
had a great time trying to convince the you know,
the publisher that the wrestler guy could do it himself.
But I sent it in, sent in about seventy pages
of handwritten work and they and they liked it.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
And the rest is kind of history there, and you
got into a couple of children's books too.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah, I got into children's books. I wrote a real
sensitive Christmas book about a special child who puts the
spirit back into a broken hearted Santa Claus, so sensitive
that it was banned in stores across the country. Wow,
a naked elf, the naked elf who actually doesn't even
show any kind of packages or anything, the same stores
(30:21):
that a month later, proudly I had Cupid as they're
on their billboards, you know, another naked little guy. But
then I thought I'd give this fiction a try. I
loved doing the writing, thought that the wrestling world was
sick of my real life stories, so I kind of
made up one of my own.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Not da last sume made because both your autobiographers each
number one on the New York Times National bestseller list.
So now when you pick up the phone, you get
a little respect, I guess these guys.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah, yeah, So I was not laughed at when I
said I wanted to write a novel, which was a
good thing. Actually I just mentioned it in an article
and I got an offer like it was like, you know, jeez,
you know novelists, you know, killed for this type of thing.
And I eventually I didn't take the offer because I'm
maybe this makes me a lousy businessman, but I have
trouble taking money for something I haven't done.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Really, yeah, you've never organization. Well, I tell us about
Tetum Brown, your novel.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Oh man. This is another case where I thought I'd
written a sensitive coming of age story, and in some
ways I had, but people started reading it. You know.
I had a group of people like Barry Blaustein, the
director of Beyond the Map movie, and I was out
in England where I was the host for Robot Wars,
and I get a message from Barry Blaustein and he's like, haunted.
(31:42):
It's like, marry it. I just finished a book. I
love it, but it's so disturbing, and you know what, like,
person after person kept reading it and finding it dark
and disturbing, and I was like, I don't get it.
I don't get it. Now.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
It is the naked in.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
This, but there's a uh. Well, the first image I
had in my head for this book is that of
this sensitive seventeen year old boy coming back from his
first date where he's held hands with the girl whose
dreams and life couldn't be better for him. And now
he walks in and his father is exercising naked while
drinking heavily, and I thought, that's my first image, you know.
(32:24):
And then the dad, you know, wants to talk about
the date, and the sweat's pouring down the guy he's got.
The father's got a girl waiting upstairs for him, and
he embraces his naked, drunk father, and and that scene
one and I thought, you know, that gives me enough
to go on. But if anyone's listening, I say, at
this sounds all right, But I don't know. If I
want to read a book by a wrestler, you can
(32:44):
check out Mick Foley dot com, where I've taken some
specific excerpts that I thought that people would like to
kind of show the you know everything, ranging from the
tender relationship with the boy and his girlfriend to the
weird sex to the graphic violence. So it's a little
sum thing for everyone. Book Page Magazine, which a pretty
major review magazine, said that my book was a strange
(33:07):
mix of JD. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, which is
a compliment for any writer, and Brett ellis Easton's American Psycho.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
So wow, you know, what psycho, Yeah, psycho in the Rye.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Don't more of them like that? So I think for
anyone who likes their sensitive coming of age stories, you know,
laced with violence, that this is the book they've been waring.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Who doesn't, Yeah, exactly, Well that's called Tetum Brown.
