Speaker 2 (10:41):
Good morning radio, dumb right.

Speaker 13 (10:55):
Good show, This is.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
There's a big showing the radio. All right, Thomas, some
Christmas ball JD Daddy.

Speaker 11 (11:17):
I can't sleep. Would you tell me a Christmas story?
And get on up here, your little nosepicker. Let me
see hi Christmas story. Let me say, how do I
tell you one that was true? Let's see it? Twas
the night before Christmas, and all through the trailer I
heard not a sound set for Papa's hay bailer. He
used to work like you know. Our stockings were thrown
over the back of the couch, and the last two

(11:38):
of the day I'd put in my mouth. The younguns
was asleep, and I'd made sure they stayed because I
put some Jack Daniels in their purple kool aid. Me
and old lady was watching a skin flick about a
bunch of young college girls in one Happy Saint. Nick
went out in New York. I heard such a racket.
The dogs started hollering, so I grabbed my hatchet. It's
a cup, said you, mommy, sounds like a sweat team.
I thought, damn it. Tommy swore them girls was eighteen.

(11:59):
So I looked out the window and I seen around
the corner. Is that fat, dirty yankee Feller and a
bunch of twelve pointers. He's trying to break in and says, you, mommy,
with rage, go get you pucking balls and load the
twelve gage. I grabbed a shotgun down off of the racket.
Fat beardy Feller must have went around back. I tore
out the door and went around the house. I slipped
behind the snowboard, just as quiet as a mouse, and
right there he stood with his slaying his deer. I

(12:19):
could smell venison cooking because I hadn't killed one this year. Freeze, yankee,
dirt bag. Don't move, you old coot. He threw up
his hands and said, Lord he Mercy, don't shoot. And
I said, what in the hell are you trying to prove?
He said, I'm Sandy Claus. Can't you see my red suit?
I said, looks like some prison outfit. Then I pulled
back a hammer, and I think you about Pooti's breeches.
I bring toys to youngns every Christmas. Eve, I yelled,
is that the story you.

Speaker 9 (12:40):
Want me to believe?

Speaker 11 (12:40):
Because he really couldn't do it because all the time,
zones and stuff, you know, it just don't cipher out right.
So he umping his bag and he showed me the toys,
pocket knives and red shot off for Southern boys. And
I got altary eyed, what with Christmas and the snow.
So he negotiated a little bit and I let him go.
As he started to leave, I said, now, don't you
be lippy and by the way, shaved ugly chin rub,
you ain't no biker in your hippie. And as he
flew out side, I couldn't resist. I popped off a

(13:01):
shot and I believe I just missed. But remember I
told you we haggled a bill. Let's just say Venison
makes a good Christmas moll Ain't you going to golong
to bed now? I said, I'm smumping with a window shut,
and stay out any.

Speaker 1 (13:21):

Dreading and embarrassing death. Look, I just know I'm not

mean that's a dream, right, Not me. I'll kick off
in a port of crapper, eating a big mechanize to
lift me out with a crane, to find me in
a pasture full of sheet naked from the waist down,
wearing a Star Trek T shirt and swim flippers.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Oh dead in a theater showing an Amy Schumer film.

Speaker 13 (16:24):
I'm just glad I won't live to see it. Number nine,
Why is everything so far away?

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Am I right?

Speaker 13 (16:31):
Doesn't matter what it is, it's way the hell over there.
Your life saving medication is in there, drawing in the
next room, by the hell with it? Number eight my
favorite muttering. I catch myself doing it all the time,
walking around, talking to myself, even in public. Where the
hell is the almond butter in this dump? And there's

(16:53):
no customer service anymore? I wonder what she charged to
give us a peak. I got slept for that one.
By the way, I just can't stop stupid old man.
Number seven.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
Can you smell that? Because I can't.

Speaker 13 (17:07):
I can see fine, My hearing is sound, but my
nose is working at about twenty percent capacity. And that's
fine when I'm passing a chicken farm or a waste
treatment plant. But I missed the smell of coffee and popcorn.
And okay, I'll say it my own, boots. I love
chemical smells too. During the pandemic, Grandma Randy over here'd
run around the studio spraying it with rubbing alcohol. Oh oh,

(17:28):
the germs skew the germs. I didn't want to tell
him he was an idiot, because I.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Needed to fix.

Speaker 13 (17:34):
What a sad, stupid life.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Number six, I've become the old storyteller. I caught myself
the other day.

Speaker 13 (17:42):
A couple was talking at the story and here comes
on gole numb nuts sticking his toast, sent chin with
some anecdote.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
You know when I was making movies in South Africa.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Shut up?

Speaker 13 (17:52):
Note to self, No one cares a dumb ass. Number five.
I wish a Karen would. All you see on the
internet is videos of Karen's miserable heifer's.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
So where are they?

Speaker 13 (18:05):
I'm old, I'm in a foul mood, and when I
leave the house, I'm waiting for a Karen to start.
Something's a weekend, finish it. I had a lot of
encounters during COVID. Where's your mask on your mom's nightstand?
Where's your mask? Up your ass? And to the left,
where's your mask? Get lost? Okay, they can all be
for the time capsule. But you know what I'm saying,
I'm primed and ready, not a Karen in sight. You

(18:25):
cows better step up your game. Dad, he needs a
rubble Number four sounds you know what I'm talking about.
Some people call him Dad's sounds. Try to get out
of my recliner and I sound like the skipper from
Gilligan's Island. I've been down to pick something up all
of a sudden, I'm Sergeant Hulka from Stripes. Yeah, I'm

(18:48):
not gonna tell you what happens. When I set up
number three flexibility Twenty years ago, I could do pratfalls, cartwheels.
I could do a handstand, touch my toes. I can
still touch my toes, but it takes me an hour.
My physical range of motion sucks. I slapped a mosquito
on my neck. I went up in a sling number
two my neck. All right, let's take some explanation. I

(19:10):
was looking in the mirror and I started thinking about
shaving off my beard. You know, I've had it for
almost thirty years. Might be a nice change.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
And as I was.

Speaker 13 (19:15):
Feeling my face, I noticed something under my chin. Oh
my god, I had that big flap of skin hanging
down that Leonard Nimoy turkey waddle like a chameleon's du lap,
like a fatty pack strapped around my neck.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Can I get a break? Can someone give me one
damn break? And finally, the number one thing I hate
about getting older, You had.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
One damn job to eleven Nash, Thank you funerals.

Speaker 13 (19:51):
You're not coming to mine, so I'm not coming to yours.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
All right, Budd, Well, let's play John Boy Jeopardy. Let's
review yesterday's question. We found out transportation historians confirmed the
first railway system actually dates back to ancient Greece during
the sixth century. It was powered by this by what
are people? People pushed a boat over land railway wagons

(20:23):
and all right, today's John Boy Jeopardy. The first coin
operated version of one of these debuted in Terry Hawt,
Indiana in nineteen ten, and was so immediately unpopular it
sparked boycotts, protests, and even vandalism.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
What's the coin operated fart imitator?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Do you have one of those?

Speaker 11 (20:47):
Ya?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
One? Eight hundred? Big Joe? You told free line. We
played John boyd Jeopardy. Next.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Good Thursday Morning, Big Show's on the radio. Why feature
track from The Big Show bit Box Johnny and No
Cash sings Fosome Christmas Blues, Hey words Christmas Blues when
they hit the Big Box app the Big Show dot
Com here right now, Let's play.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yes live across America.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
It's John Boy jab Don't that?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
And now your hosts with today's thought. Every dead body
on Mount Everest was once a highly motivated individual. Follow
him on Facebook. Little more inspirational thoughts may you.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Let's say I had a Harold out of Crossville, Tennessee.
Good morning, Harold.

Speaker 14 (22:01):
It wasn't money, tom boy, all.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Ragging out, Harold, Hey, buddy, welcome, alright, you got first
shot this morning, Harol. Let's see what you got. The
first coin operated version of one of these debut and
Terry Hart, Indiana in nineteen ten. It was so immediately
unpopular it sparked Boycott's protests and even vandalism. What the

(22:25):
world could it be?

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Harold?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Was it a machine? Well, let's see, show us a
pinball machine? No, you know they still cost money.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
You play well?

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Now we appreciate you playing, buddy, Hope you have a
great day.

Speaker 6 (22:47):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
All right, buddy, Let's go to Skyler. He is in Rustburg, Virginia.
Good morning, Skyler.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Hey, how y'all boys doing.

Speaker 15 (22:56):
It's a first time caller. How y'all doing?

Speaker 1 (23:01):
See how we're doing? Good?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Welcome? All right, Well we know it's not a pinball machine.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
See this.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
It was a coin operated version of one of these
and people really didn't like it. So what could cause
that much vitriol? I'm saying, Skyler, Thanks, let's see, is
it a toilet? Well, let's see. Is it a toilet

(23:27):
that would do it?

Speaker 4 (23:32):
So?

Speaker 2 (23:33):
And it cost a nickel but that's about a buck
fifty in today's money.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
That's real money. So what what?

Speaker 2 (23:40):
What really ticked people off was the idea of paying
to protect their dignity over a basic human need. So
this is great by the night. By the sixties, protest
groups were pushing Congress to ban paid toilet nationwide. Only
a few states did rest out the I says, late

(24:00):
seventies on a handful still around. But oh wait, don't
flush the idea just yet. Paint toilets are making a
comeback thanks to tap to Paykay, Is that right?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah? Bout that all right? Good luck out there, Hey Scyler,
work for you, buddy.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
You got the big old Bertee County Peanuts price pack
this Christmas?

out real quick?

Speaker 2 (24:29):

four years, at one years that I was born in

Y'all, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (24:52):

Speaker 5 (25:04):

Lesten it.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's time for dumb crooked news, dumb crook story sending
by you the big show listeners from all over the world.
The address will follow the special holiday edition. A forty
two year old man was arrested for driving a parade
float while intoxicated during the annual Christmas Parade and Anderson,

(32:00):
South Carolina. According to witnesses, a man appeared to loose
patients with the slow pacing of the parade and began
laying on his horn before starting to pass other floats
and participants in the lineup. Spectators reported that the festively
decorated float was weaving past other parade participants as it

(32:21):
broke free from the procession, with the driver's son and
eighteen other terrified riders still on board. Once clear the
parade route, police ai the driver sped through city streets,
ran red lights, and refused.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
To pull over.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
During a three mile chase with speeds reaching up to
sixty miles an hour. That's fast with a float. Officers
eventually stopped the vehicle and took the man into custody.
He was charged with over three dozen crimes, including dui
eighteen counts of kidnapping, resisting arrests, and as softening an officer.

(32:57):
He was later sent USD to ninety days in jail
and five years probation. They revoked his float request for
the following year. Three members of a shoplifting ring targeted
a Louis Vaton store in Bellevue, Washington, on Black Friday.
The trio included two masked women and one male suspect

(33:20):
wearing a Spandex ski mask, notably without eyeholes. All three
crooks went straight to work, grabbing as many expensive handbags
as they could carry. Within seconds, and two women sprinted
past security and out of the store well. The male
thief was close behind, running full speed toward the exit,
but with one slight miscalculation, he slammed headfirst into the

(33:43):
plate glass window just to the left of the door,
knocked himself out, and that seventeen year old was charged
with attempted robbery. Well, a nineteen year old Stromsburg, Nebraska
woman stole a car over the thanks Giving holiday and
drove it to a nearby town where she robbed a

(34:03):
bank while claiming to have a gun. And she might
have gotten away with it if she hadn't done what
authority say. May many modern criminals can't seem to resist.
She bragged about it on social media.

Speaker 14 (34:15):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
It's about I reportedly returned home and, while still wearing
the same clothes from the robbery, recorded herself smoking marijuana,
holding up bundles of cash, and bragging, I just stole
a car and robbed a bank. Now I'm rich. She
titled the seven minute video Chick Bank Robber and posted

(34:39):
it on YouTube, where it instantly it went viral, racking
up millions of views. In it, Sabauta says she's going
to pay off her college loans and go on one
Hella shopping spree. However, her internet fame and her brief
life of crime were both cutting short. Police arrested her
shortly after the video went public. And prosecut computers using

(35:00):
footage as evidence against her. She got eleven to twenty
two years in prison, but she had millions of views.
Forty seven year old suspect drug dealer in Liverpool, England,
decorated his Christmas tree by festooning it with cash and
little bags of cocaine, and then sent pictures of it

(35:24):
to several people on his client list, along with the
caption Who's dreaming of a white Christmas? Well as luck
would have it. Several of them posted the picture to Facebook.
Police trace the image back to the suspect, obtained warrants
for multiple locations, and then the ensuing raid sees nearly
two million dollars in cash and narcotics. The man was

(35:47):
arrested and is now enjoying an extended seven year Holidays
stay with His Majesty's prison service.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh there they go, how.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Formal and final. In Eureka Springs, Arkansas, fire and police
responded to her residence on Thanksgiving Day after a nine
to one to one caller reported that their grandmother had
accidentally set herself on fire. Well first responders arrived to
a chaotic scene with several family members frantically waving thick

(36:19):
smoke out of the home, so firefighters rushed inside, where
a man holding a fire extinguisher was hysterically screaming, she's
in here, expecting the worst. Crews followed him into the kitchen,
where a topless, seventy seven year old woman was found
setting on the floor completely covered in white powder. Family

(36:41):
members stated that the grandmother had been removing a turkey
from the oven when she somehow managed to set her
shirt sleeve on fire. Another relative saw the flames and yelled, Grandma,
you're on fire. The panic woman then tore off the
burning garment and began jumping and stomping on it. Meanwhile,
the turkey, now fully engulfed in flames, ignited the kitchen curtains,

(37:05):
sending family members running for their lives. Fire officials credit
the woman's thirty four year old grandson with grabbing the
homes fire extinguisher and putting out the blaze, which was
reportedly started by grease from the turkey well. The grandmother
was treated at the scene for minor burns and smoke imlution.
The whole thing was horrifying. The grandson told officers that

(37:28):
image of my topless grandmother.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Jumping up and down on her flaming blouse.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Will hault me forever.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
In blaze, in slow motion every time I closed my eyes.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Ah.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
