John Boy and Billy.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Woodn' t Hooks Morning Radio, dumb right.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Good show.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
This Thursday morning, Big Shows is on the radio. Well,
as you know, the Big show has its very own
poet laureate, and ever so often he'll come in with
an original poem written just for our listeners. You're welcome,

(11:34):
And here he is, Colonel Hamilton Brewster. How are you, colonel,
John Boy? I'm happier than a farting silk patty.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
That's happy. What did you bring for us today?

Speaker 13 (11:48):
Well, John Boy? The dog days of summer have left
for the year, and it's coming into fall now. A
lot of places are having their county fairs. I went
to a family reunion last fall in Thurman County and
part of the festivities included a trip to the county Fair.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
I sense a story, ha yep, and he goes something
like this.

Speaker 13 (12:11):
Every year when the humidity ebbs and the cooler weather prevails.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Furman County has their big Old Fare and it.

Speaker 13 (12:19):
Produces many grand tales. The Brewster clan piled into their
cars a convoy a country mile long. Half was inbread,
the other half drunk. What the hell could go wrong?
From puking on the tilted world to cheating at all
of the games. Full of fried food and bad ideas
was the Brewster claim to fame. They had entertainment at

(12:43):
the fair a parade of D list stars, demolition derby
and magic shows and monkeys smoking cigars. But this year
they had something special, sure to drive the country folks wild.
It was pro wrestling under the line es and the
action sure weren't mild. It was a local group from

(13:05):
Virginia Beach. Bruiser Bedlam was their champ, but his opponent
couldn't make it that night. Apparently he had a cramp,
so they asked for a volunteer from the crowd to
battle for that gold title crown. So Cousin Wilbur stepped
TwixT the ropes, fixing to take Bruiser down. The action

(13:25):
commenced before the bell rang, with Bruiser taking cheap shots.
Cousin Wilbur was getting his country ass whooped, sweating bullets
and nose running snot. Now here's where things took a
real turn. See Grannie Brewster was ringside too, and she
hated a bully more than a Democrat. But what could

(13:46):
an old woman do. She was near eighty year old
with arthritis and gout, wore adult diapers and couldn't see
too well. But she'd be damned if her ken would
take a beaten And she was about to unleash hell.
She leapt through the ropes like a damn kangaroo and
threw me her teeth for safe keeping. Bruiser just laughed,

(14:09):
but not for long. He was about to sew what
he was reaping when she round housed his ass. His
knee turned to jella. Bruiser blinked but didn't say a word.
There appeared to be a lump in the back of
his drawers. Looked like Granny knocked loose a turn. Bruiser
gathered his wits and bowed up on Grannie. Things started

(14:30):
looking quite grim. I yelled Grannie, he's nuts, but she
heard his, not his, and that was the beginning of
the end for him. She grabbed for his growing quick
as a flash. Bruises struck an odd poles. Grannie had
a death grip hold on his junk in the old

(14:50):
got your nose. The more she twist the ladder, he'd
screamed constantly raising the pitch got so high, dogs howled
for miles around. Must have hurt like a son of
a gun. Bruiser crumpled to the mat with a thud,
and Granny rolled him up for the pin. In three

(15:13):
short seconds, that was all she wrote, Granny Brewster was
awarded to win. Folks was losing their mind a different
roar as Granny strapped on that belt. She took the
victory lap unscathed, then unharmed, with not even a single welt.
Granny was the talk of the town, a local celebrity.

(15:36):
She wore that dang belt everywhere, so sequence on her robe,
and when she answered the phone she went whoa, just
like old Rick Flair. She held that title for a
year without wrestling a match. She finally gave that belt
up because she had one stipulation for taking her on.
You weren't allowed to wear a cup. It's a tale

(16:00):
that gets better the more that it's told. So goes
the legend of Granny. But what happened to Bruiser? Where
is he now? He works for Tim Walls as one
of his trainnies ha ha.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
You like having Yah boy. It's a big show on

Speaker 16 (19:27):
Hey, how are you? Thanks so much for taking the
time out to talk.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Oh Man, thank you, Joel. Always look forward to it. Buddy, Man,
we've been watching you guys for a long time. Man,
we actually could have y'all set up in our blue
room when we were at our other spacious studios. Man,
it's so awesome, And we just get to tell our
listeners about about TSO's twenty twenty five tour Ghost of

(19:52):
Christmas Eve, the best of TSO and more so, tell
us about it, Joel, what you got cooking?

Speaker 18 (20:00):
Yeah, those that haven't seen TSO before, there's always a
story on the front half obviously a company boy music,
so a rock opera if you will, and the Ghost
of Christmas Eve is essentially the greatest hits or our
best of if you will. So it's a great year
if you had never saw TSO to come out out
and hear the music that made us who we are
and put us on the map. And then the second

(20:21):
half is a little bit more of just like a
freewheel and rock concert that focuses on just how awesome
the production is.

Speaker 16 (20:27):
Now it's in addition of listening to TSO, we're a
lot of fun to look at. We got a video
wall the WITHI of the arena.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
We got an incredible Pink Floyd esque laser light show happening.
We got piro like you wouldn't believe. We got moving
hydraulic lifts that the people are on. The performers are
out over the audience playing all at times, also in
the back of the arena, so truly not a bad
seat in the house. A lot of times we're running
through the house. We'd get right up in your grill
and play the guitar right there for you, hand your

(20:56):
guitar pick, and it's it was indoors.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
Come on.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
My favorite part the snow.

Speaker 9 (21:06):
Yeah, so you know, a cool sensory experience all the
way around. I mean, obviously the music is first and
foremost with us in the band, but hey man, all
that stuff doesn't hurt.

Speaker 16 (21:15):
It makes us look good.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
You know.

Speaker 16 (21:17):
I'd like to say I could be up there in
a rocking chair when going out rocks.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
I love how he says he calls it a house,
and these kids are fit. I mean he's running, They're
running the length of the arena. That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I mean it's just to hear describe it, but it's
nothing like you've ever seen before.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
And what you're like then, man, like the violin player
was out over over my daughter laws.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
No, I want to learn to play, but I can't believe. Man, well,
I actually can Tso has performed live to more than
nineteen million fans, so if you have not seen them,
you're way behind.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
So you need to do that.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
And and of course you all we talk about generational deal.
You know, the kids and they grew up and now
the parents are bringing the kids and the grandparents are
bringing a great I mean, it's just so awesome at
Christmas time is a family deal with you.

Speaker 9 (22:12):
Guys, it is, man, I mean, and you know that
goes back to Paul O'Neal, our founder.

Speaker 16 (22:18):
I mean, Paul was he was, you know, mad scientists.

Speaker 9 (22:22):
He was eccentric, and his dream was to have this
be a Christmas tradition or a holiday tradition for so
many And it's pretty awesome to watch a ConA.

Speaker 16 (22:31):
Fruition, man.

Speaker 9 (22:32):
I mean, I feel like we're ingrained in North American
Christmas culture at this point in time.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
Man.

Speaker 16 (22:37):
You know, it's not just how much we're streamed right.

Speaker 9 (22:40):
Now or how much we're on the radio, which is
an absurd a moment of the fact we're one of
the biggest Billboard and Pole Star tours every single year.
But you know, you hear us on commercials, you hear
us on sporting events, going out to commercials.

Speaker 16 (22:52):
We're everywhere during that time of year, and I think we're.

Speaker 9 (22:54):
Associated with it at this point in time, and I
think that's awesome. Man, that was Paul's dream has really
cool because Paul would He.

Speaker 16 (23:01):
Was a good dude man.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
I mean, he was an eccentric cap but he believed
in us so much and he put his heart and
soul into this and and as you know, he went
against the grain quite a bit. I think when Paul
had this idea, there was probably a lot of people
that were like rolling their eyes and scratching their heads,
going you think that's going to fill an arena.

Speaker 16 (23:20):
You think people are gonna go see that.

Speaker 9 (23:22):
And here we are all these years later, and it's
this just massive success and and you just can't.

Speaker 16 (23:27):
Help but be happy to be a part of that.

Speaker 9 (23:29):
You know, when you're a musician, you got to be
that kind of person anyway. You gotta be kind of
a rebel because you're not taking the standard business job.

Speaker 16 (23:35):
You're saying no, no, I'm gonna make noise with this
thing with thick strings on it.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
For my living.

Speaker 9 (23:40):
So when you see people like that succeed, it makes
you happy, man, you know, it makes you happy. And
so that's what we try to do. You know, we
try to make people happy. Leave that show and walk
out and go man, that was man, that was the
best show I've ever been to. Man, that was money
well spent. So we put our heart and.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Soul into it.

Speaker 14 (23:58):
You know.

Speaker 16 (23:59):
We like to make Paul proud man, and that's that's
a big part of it for us. And obviously it just.

Speaker 9 (24:04):
Kicks cause you think of a better way to make
a living and getting out there and being able to
play guitar for an arena full often twice a day.
I mean, I know we're promoting a bunch of different
shows in your show because you guys are you know,
you're spending all over the country, man, you know, you're
you're you're covering.

Speaker 16 (24:21):
A lot of markets.

Speaker 9 (24:22):
But a lot of times we're selling out the arenas
twice a day, which is crazy.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
And also I always like to point out the way
Paul started things out as they have in the past.
TSO will donate at least a dollar from every ticket sold,
and I go that to local charities where if you
go see them in Charlotte. You know, the charities around here,
they're distributed more than twenty million dollars so far. With that,

(24:49):
that's a dream you talking about with the old Christmas spirit.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
They're wrapped up in it. Joel, that's it, my boy.

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Yeah, man, And you know I said, that's obviously a
Paul O'Neil thing.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
Again.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
Man, it's super generous, dude, And I think he went
into it going like, hey, it's not enough to just
give him a great show, but we got to do
something in the Christmas spirit here man.

Speaker 16 (25:09):
Giving back, and you know, and we do it the
right way.

Speaker 9 (25:12):
We talk to the local partners and we go, hey,
where's the money best spent? You know, we're not just
calmed out across the board to like throwing the money
away it is some random thing that's never going to
see anybody.

Speaker 16 (25:22):
I mean, we get it to the local charities.

Speaker 9 (25:25):
We talk to the people locally and say where's this
money gonna go?

Speaker 16 (25:28):
Where's this best spent?

Speaker 9 (25:30):
So yeah, anyway, we're very happy, happy to be doing
something good for the communities on the way through.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
Man.

Speaker 9 (25:37):
You know, even us musicians, man, I mean, you know,
we're all about ourselves. Thinking about playing all the right
notes and all this stuff.

Speaker 16 (25:45):
But you know, got admit it does make you feel
pretty good when you go, hey, you know we did
something pretty good for that place. Man, when you're going
to leave town.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
And I had to Sammy, you are a busy dude,
and the fact that you are part of the tso
it's makes the show. You are your very important part
of it and you are something to watch.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
A damn well, I say, man, Well, we have covered
Miss America pageants and they're comings and going over the years.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Usually was a call from Mad Max.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
Come on, Mad Max here, how's it going money? Well,
let's see, I'm sixty two year years old, I'm a
building contractor and don't speak a word of Spanish. I
gotta prostate the size of a watermelon. I got a
boy to move back home when the Ringland Brothers shut
down the clown College and only guys between me and

(33:14):
World War Three. One used to be the host of
Celebrity Apprentice. Another one is Dennis Rodman's money. How you
think it's going well? Our top story today is some
I've been predicting for the last ten to fifteen years,
and it's official.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
The Miss America pageant is doing away with a bathing
suit competition. And a headgal from the Miss American Pageant
went on TV last week and said, we are no
longer a pageant, We are a competition. We will no
longer judge contestants on their physical appearance.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Well, let me just say this about that, my big
old fun check this out. We've heard from a lot
of young women who say, we'd love to be a
part of your program, but we don't want to be
out there in high heels in a swimsuit. So guess what,
you don't have to do that anymore. Now, correct me

(34:16):
if I'm wrong here, but it's a beauty contest. Beauty
is a very first word to name. Now, maybe I'm stupid,
but if you don't want to be judged on your
physical appearance, maybe you shouldn't enter a beauty Now, the
Westminster Dog Show got a letter and said, I love
to be part of your program, but I'm a hamster.

(34:39):
They wouldn't kick out all the cookerspaniels put in a
hamster wheel, would that? Course not? So what's next for
Miss America? Well, here we go in place of the
swimsuit portion of the competition. Contestants will now take part
in a live interactive session with the judges. Oh good,

(35:00):
they're gonna ask them some more questions. That's just what
I want to tune into a beauty contest for The
contestants will be asked to demonstrate their passion, intelligence, and
overall understanding of the job of Miss America. Well, okay,
seems like to me one of the first parts of

(35:21):
the job. You need to get a handle on us
looking good in a bathing suit. Maybe the judges are
the ones that need to demonstrate they understand the job. Yeah.
If if so, hell ben on doing a Q and A.
I think the contestants ought to be able to ask
a few questions too. Let's give Miss Texas a microphone.

(35:42):
Know what she'd say? She say, Let me get this straight.
I don't need nothing but celery with Miss Dash sprinkled
on it. For seventeen years trying to get this body,
and now y'all don't want to see it. Well, good luck, gals,
I'm out of here this. She peels out her cap
and gown and walks off the stage in a black
string bikini. See she's showing off her strength, her independence,

(36:07):
and her nice butt. Ain't that what we want from
a Miss America? Now, let's face it, we see the
average Miss America three times in her entire life, once
the night she wins, once on Good Morning America the
next day, and one year later when she's putting the
crown on the next girl's heads. After that, she drops

(36:29):
off the radar like a Malaysian airliner on the way
to Singapore. Now, we ain't drafting a UN ambassador. It's
a beauty contest. Every girl that signs up for it
knows we don't care she got a lick of sense
or not, as long as she's beautiful. You know how?
They know that costs. The swimsuit competition has been part

(36:51):
of it for ninety seven years. If the contestants can
deal with it, what do I A's the matter with
a Miss America? Pete? I know women nowadays are all
about making their own choices fair enough. You don't want
to go out on stage in a bikini, then don't
sign up. You don't want to see women being judged

(37:12):
on their appearance, then don't watch. But me and the
seventeen people who still tune in, I want to see
some good looking girls in bathing suits. Now sat down,
shut up, and Quinn rarning in my life y'all boy business,
y'all have a nice does good morning.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
There's a big sea on the radio in the phone

Good morning. That's a big show on the radio for
you Thursday, Damn God.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
Then Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Nineteen eighty seven, actor Lorne Green passed away at age
seventy two. It was Ben Cartwright from Bonanza, and he
was famous also for as a recording artist because he
had a great voice. Yes, boy, the song ringo was
Lauren Greens, but then it wasn't perfected till several years later.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Right here on the Big Show. I'll never forget that
faithful night.

Speaker 13 (43:14):
He lay there in the pale moonlight, a filthy ball
cap on his head. I thought that he was surely dead,
a broken soul. No one would claim that's the night
I learned the name of John Boy.

Speaker 9 (43:27):
John Boy John.

Speaker 13 (43:32):
For five days it was touch and go.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
What he survived I didn't know.

Speaker 13 (43:36):
He let out with a mournful wheeze, his colon blocked
with too much cheese, and with a rusty butter knife,
I cleared the clog and saved the life of John Boy.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
John Boy, John bore.

Speaker 13 (43:53):
I soon found out he had a gift. His funny
ways gave folks a lift. I thought that he should
have a shoe oh where I worked.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
On the radio.

Speaker 13 (44:02):
I had a feeling he'd find fame when everyone would
learn the name of John.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Boy, John Boy.

Speaker 13 (44:10):
John He soon was famous far and wide, made other
DJs run and hide. He sure enough became a star,
But it wasn't skilled that got him far the credit
to what he'd become. There was no one nearly quite
as dumb as John Boy, John Boy, John Boy. He

(44:35):
couldn't act, he couldn't sing, he always said such stupid things,
could barely say the simplest words. But solid gold came
from those turns, the listeners. They were never born. Cash
and ratings with a reward for John Boy, John Boy,
John But success began to swell his head. He hated

(44:57):
getting out of Bandon one day he threw a hiss,
he fit, and in a rage of fart was lit.
He sent the studio ablaze. Could this be the end
of days for John.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Boy, John Boy, John Boy.

Speaker 13 (45:16):
We all stood there with jars of kate as he
ran back in the same as kate. The walls collapsed
as it burned down and John Boy he was never found.
The incidents still unexplained. Just a few stained T shirts
are all that remained of John Boy.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
John Boy.

Speaker 13 (45:42):
I'm still out here in radio land on some forgotten
am band, and late at night I get a chill.
I think that I can hear him still, And on
the first full moon of fall, I hear the ua
ua call.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
A John by.

Speaker 13 (46:05):
John Bull, John Bull, John Ball, John Ball.
