Speaker 16 (12:05):
Well, I'm doing okay, y'all. Thanks for checking and appreciate
your care. I've just been sitting around the house, you know,
and thinking about stuff. Y'all want to hear something my bed? Yeah,
of course you do. Did you know that when you
clean out a vacuum cleaner, you actually become a vacuum cleaner?

(12:29):
And I don't know if you realize this, but even
if a bear wears socks and shoes, he still has
bear feet. If poison is past his expiration date, is
it more poisonous or less that it would take you longer?

(12:58):
What if my dog brings the ball back because he
thinks I like throwing it. Every time you clean something,
you make something else dirty, So I don't do it.
No y'all ever notice when you intentionally lose a game

(13:20):
of rock paper scissors, it's just as hard as trying
to win a game of rock paper scissors. How many
animals need glasses and no one knows it, poor babies.

(13:43):
If you rip a hole in a nut, there are
actually fewer holes in it than before thinking about stuff.
If you replace the W with a T in what
wearing with, you get the answer to each of them. Yeah,

(14:03):
I think on that.

Job there here, here, there.

Friday morning.

Speaker 21 (27:55):
Indeed still dark coming to work. Blame met on daylight
saving time. You don't save any daylight, you just transfer
it to some other time.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Robert D.

Speaker 21 (28:07):
Rayfert, kicking off a John Boy and Billy show. One
of the first things I turned to in the local
newspaper is the obituary column, just to check to make
sure my name isn't in it, to invoke that cliche
such as consider the alternative. Local newspaper obituaries are full
of cliches like passed away for diede and I'm wondering
why they didn't wave when they passed by me. And

(28:29):
if I may border on the blasphemous, there is the
one about one away to meet his maker, and I'm thinking,
is that the same place they were before they were conceived?
And I also wonder why people are so eager to
go meet their maker, go to paradise. Why they are
like the rest of us who do everything they can
to prolong that time. But enough blasphemy. I'm sure I'll

(28:50):
get all kinds of email accusing me of just that.
The New York Times obituaries tell about the real person,
warts and all one today. I like about Bobby Nudy,
purveyor of Glitter Dies. At ninety two, real name Helen Kahn,
she married a man named Nudy, helped him in his

(29:13):
life's submission, putting lots of rhinestones on country singers suits.
There's a picture of Bobby Nudy, fully clothed in a
long sleeved blouse and a long skirt with rhinestones on it,
posing with a shotgun in her hand.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Says here.

Speaker 21 (29:28):
The couple found celebrity by selling wildly embroidered, rhinestone studded
duds to cowboys, stars, country singers, and yes, even Elvis Presley.
A ten thousand dollars gold in May number made the
cover of Rolling Stone. The shop produced preposterously gaudy clothes
now museum pieces for Hank Williams, Senior, Buck Owens, Clint Eastwood,

(29:50):
John Lennon, Roy Rogers, and Dale Evans. The story of
how she inspired the logo the company used on its
labels for more than twenty years sounds it's too good
to be true, but her granddaughter is sticking to it.
One evening in the early nineteen forty, she emerged from
the boudoir wearing nothing but a cowboy hat, boots, and holster,

(30:10):
coyly asked her husband, when are you going to make
the rest of the outfit. The result was what became
known as the Naked Cowgirl label. After mister Cohne converted
to Christianity around nineteen sixty three, the cowgirl was clothed,
making the old label garments collector's items. It's unclear which
one of the couples came up with the Nudi motto

(30:32):
it is better to be looked over than overlooked, good
motto for anybody in show business. Robert d Rayfer, John

(35:24):
well first very special guest this morning. Look forward to
having Franklin Graham on The Big Show every every year
because this Operation Christmas Child time. And we got him
on the line right now. Good morning, mister Graham, actually,
doctor Franklin Graham. How you doing, frank I'm.

Speaker 7 (35:41):
Doing great, guys. Hey, I miss hearing hearing you. Someone
told me this is your last year on the radio.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
That's true, that is that is true. We are retiring
at the end of the year.

Speaker 7 (35:53):
This is depressing the world. We are doing the morning yea, guys,
you got you gotta rethink this. My goodness, the world's
going to spin out of control without you guys holding
us down.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
We're going to figure out some way to keep in touch.
So yeah, the Big Show dot Com. We own that website,
so y'all go there after you can't find us on
the radio maybe we can find out. Well, Frankna, thanks
for those kind words. And you know, one thing has
tickled me over the last twenty years that allowed us

(36:26):
to partner with you guys with our big show listeners
on Operation Christmas Child. And the one thing that I
really loved when classic rock and roll stations across this country,
I guess the most we were maybe one hundred and
twenty five maybe now we're about fifty, but able to
give the gospel of Jesus Christ over the airwaves and

(36:48):
that is just something that I know God has allowed
us to do through you guys, and I would like
to thank you for that so much.

Speaker 7 (36:57):
Well, I just thank you for using your plat form
and making that available so that we can share what
God is doing, and especially the fact that He sent
his son at Christmas to come to this world to
save us from our sins. Jesus Christ came to save
God gave the first gifts and that was his son

(37:20):
that so thank you for well, thank you for making
this available.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Well, in a sum of fact that we talked to
like this year, looking at over twelve million shoe boxes
to be packed, but one shoebox, one child, and we
get to talk to kids who actually received a shoebox
and in their country there never had a gift before,
and say, what is this about? And then you find
out what true love is about with the gospel of

(37:47):
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 7 (37:48):
Absolutely when a child gets that gift, and for most
of most of these shows, they have never had a
gift in their life, and they open up and they
realize that the contents that for them. The children want
to know, how did this happen, why did they give
it to me, where did it come from? And it
gives us a great opportunity to share the fact that

(38:11):
God made them and created them, and that they're very
special to God, and that he sent his son Jesus
Christ from heaven to this earth for their sins and
Christ died for our sins, was buried, but God raised
him to life and he can come into their hearts
if they're willing to invite him. And so it's a
great tool for evangelism. We see every year millions of
children accept Christ as their savior. And then you know,

(38:32):
we don't just stop there. We have a discipleship program.
So for every child that gets a box, we offer
to enroll them into a twelve lesson of Bible study
course and it's an incredible program and we've already had
over I think it's around twenty six million children that
have gone through that. Excuse twenty three million have been

(38:56):
done that. Then they have made decisions for Christ. And
out of that, there's forty six million that have participated
the twelve listen discipleship program, but twenty three million half
of them have made decisions for Christ. But forty six
millions since two thousand and nine. And then, I mean,
it's just incredible God has done this, and we're just
so grateful that he's He's given us that opportunity. But

(39:18):
you know, these opportunities come because of guys like you
who have got behind us and pushed it over these years.
And who knows how many tens of thousands, hundreds of
thousands of shoe boxes have come in because.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
Of your radio program.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
It's it's just I don't know how you measure it,
but it's been huge.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Well, don't say that now, Franklin. I would like to
have a reward in heaven, So don't take it from
me right now.

Speaker 7 (39:46):
You'll get a reward, I'll probably.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Well, the National Collection Week is November the seventeenth, and
we had we had Jim on yesterday and talking about
and then Matt was talking about how to build a
shoe box online. So there, there's really all kind of ways.
If you can't even leave your house, if you've got
a computer for a smartphone, you can you can build
a shoe box right there.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
What a great idea.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
Yeah, we just want to make it easy for people.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
And it is all right. We got the Big Show
dot Com. Click on the Operation Christmas Child banner. It'll
take you right to the website everything you need to know.
