Speaker 6 (12:33):
Good Friday morning. Big Show's on the radio. 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
(12:57):
while intoxicated during the annual Christmas parade in Anderson, 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
(13:19):
was weaving past other parade participants as it broke free
from the procession, with the driver's son and eighteen other
terrified riders still on board. Once clear the parade route,
police aid the driver sped through city streets, ran red lights,
and refused to pull over During a three mile chase
(13:39):
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 assaulting an officer. He was later sentenced to ninety
(13:59):
days in jailed in five years probation. I think they
revoked his float request for the following year. Three members
of a shoplifting ring targeted a Louis Vauton store in Bellevue, Washington,
on Black Friday. The trio included two masked women and
one male suspect wearing a Spandex ski mask, notably without eyehos.
(14:26):
All three crooks went straight to work, grabbing as many
expensive handbags as they could carry. But the seconds the
two women sprinted past security and out of the store, well,
the male fief was close behind, running full speed toward
the exit, but with one slight miscalculation, he slammed headfirst
into the plate glass window just to the left of
(14:46):
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 Thanksgiving holiday and
drove it to a nearby town where she robbed a
bank while claiming to have a gun. And she might
(15:06):
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. Of course, it's
about I reported to return 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
(15:30):
a car and robbed a bank.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Now I'm rich.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
She titled the seven minute video Chick bank Robber and
posted it on YouTube, where 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
hell of shopping spree. However, her internet fame and her
(15:55):
brief life of crime were both cutting short. Police arrested
her shortly after the video went public, and prosecutors using
footage as evidence against her, she got eleven to twenty
two years in prison. She had millions of views. A
forty seven year old suspect drug dealer in Liverpool, England,
(16:17):
decorated his Christmas tree by festooning it with cash and
little bags of cocaine, and then sent pictures of it
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
(16:40):
for multiple locations, and then the ensuing raid sees nearly
two million dollars in cash and narcotics. The man was
arrested and is now enjoying an extended seven year holidays
stay with His Majesty's prison service. Oh there you go
how formal, and finally in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Fire and
(17:04):
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 smoke out of the home. So firefighters rushed inside,
(17:24):
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 members stated that the grandmother had been removing a
(17:45):
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, sending family members running for their lives.
(18:09):
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 in elation.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
The whole thing was horrifying.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
The grandson told officers that image of my topless grandmother
jumping up and down on her flaming blouse.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Will hault me forever in blaze in slow motion every
time I closed my eyes.

all agree on anything, but all agree that the current
system is awful. Along with the unpleasant airport security checkpoint drill,
the glum ritual of boarding a crowded plane and hoping
to find space in a cramped overhead bin is one
of the two high anxiety choke points in air travel.
(30:39):
Many flight attendants say that the bin storage problem is
the part of their job that they dislike the most.
But anyone who gets on a plane works on one
knows that bags the size of winnebagos and the people
who break rules by hauling them on board or continuing nuisance.
Some domestic airliners are discouraging passengers from lugging oversized carry
(31:00):
on bags onto planes by imposing a charge at the
gate on bags that exceed the posted size limit. Seems
to me the airlines enforce their own rules about the
size of carry on stuff. That wouldn't be one of
their worst loading and unloading problems as it is. Passengers
so possessive of their little pieta tear in the air,
(31:20):
take advantage of it. Give them an inch, they take
a mile. One of the reasons I've just quit getting
on commercial airliners. Robert d Rafer, John Bourne Billy Show.

Thanks for thanks for checking in with us this morning.
I know you just kicked off your Christmas tour yesterday
in Kerrville, Texas and in uh Robert Earl, Man, I
don't know, that's what all you guys been going through
there with that horrific flood and everything. And we were
right there talking about your July of the fourth show
(40:09):
and just got washed out like that, And of course
we know the tragedy. And then you're very swift and
putting together a show to raise money, buddy, and I
know a lot of people just really thankful to you
for that.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
Man.
Speaker 19 (40:21):
Well, you know, I felt like I was inbued with
the responsibility to do something since that they washed the
stage and all the production down downstream about thirty miles,
and you know, it felt like, you know, you know,
Kurbbil's my my adopted hometown, and I wanted to do
something for him. So we did when we put on
(40:43):
this big, big, big concert and raised three point two
million dollars.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
So that was that sold out in under five minutes,
and of course you know you're streaming and we got
to watch it streaming, and just a way to go.
And that's that's something you put together that's so quick
and all pro these were directed to Community Foundation of
the Texas Hill Country went right there where it was needed,
right and.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
Awesome, awesome to all of you who gave your time,
and to all the folks who donated.
Speaker 19 (41:12):
To Yeah fantasic and you know we had over forty
artists and they all donated their time and induction people
just all across the board, you know, and our good
friend Beaver Applan.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
You know of Bucky Spain. He put in a million
dollars on the deal.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Wowow awesome man.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
Yeah, Well where Robert Earl ken Robert earl keene dot com.
Let me tell you all where you can go keep
up with him his YouTube channel at the Robert Earl
Keene And we're celebrating the Robert o'l kean's Greatest Christmas
on Earth tour that was just zied. Began yesterday in Curveville.
And want you to find out when it's going to
be near you and Robert, I just want you to
(41:57):
tell us a little bit about what to expect when
when we see your show. And we can't wait to
see it in Charlotte here coming up December the twelfth.
I don't know if it's sold out yet, but y'all
better get your tickets.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Yeah, bet to get the tickets.
Speaker 19 (42:11):
Definitely, it's you know, a hot property right now, as
they say in the real estate business. So yeah, so
you need to get tickets. But also, like you know,
the thing is, John Boy, you've been at some of them.
We're not there to like sing old Christmas songs that
you can go to your local Walgreens.
Speaker 7 (42:31):
And listen to. You know, we're singing some songs.
Speaker 19 (42:36):
Well, the Greatest Christmas Show on Earth is basically reference
to you know, the Circus, So we're doing circuit themed
songs and things like that, and uh for you you know,
Jackie's favorite drummer is going to kick off the show
with with uh, we are the monkeys, you know, so
(42:57):
we've got some money.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
That's awesome. Well, you're definitely going to want to say
the show when it comes for you.
Speaker 19 (43:08):
Yeah, and so all of that, you know, you know,
we do about I don't know, uh, five or six
songs that are like you know, cover songs, but they
are all songs. One of the things that I always
challenge the mand with is like make sure your song
is well known so people can either tap their foot
along to it or clap or sing along. So all
(43:29):
the songs that we we play, that we bring to
the show. They don't really talk about Christmas. They just
talk about the spirit of Christmas and how Christmas makes
us feel and how we should all, you know, come
together and family and in community, and that's that's the point.
So and also we fill it in with you know,
(43:50):
some of my goofball songs in the middle.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
So I like, I like that.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
What about the Barbie and the gravy boat where you
all changed instruments and play to each other's That was awesome, man.
Speaker 7 (44:04):
Happy holidays y'all.

definitely one of those ones that you'll hear sure.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Good Friday morning. Big Show's on the radio. 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
(12:57):
while intoxicated during the annual Christmas parade in Anderson, 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
(13:19):
was weaving past other parade participants as it broke free
from the procession, with the driver's son and eighteen other
terrified riders still on board. Once clear the parade route,
police aid the driver sped through city streets, ran red lights,
and refused to pull over During a three mile chase
(13:39):
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 assaulting an officer. He was later sentenced to ninety
(13:59):
days in jailed in five years probation. I think they
revoked his float request for the following year. Three members
of a shoplifting ring targeted a Louis Vauton store in Bellevue, Washington,
on Black Friday. The trio included two masked women and
one male suspect wearing a Spandex ski mask, notably without eyehos.
(14:26):
All three crooks went straight to work, grabbing as many
expensive handbags as they could carry. But the seconds the
two women sprinted past security and out of the store, well,
the male fief was close behind, running full speed toward
the exit, but with one slight miscalculation, he slammed headfirst
into the plate glass window just to the left of
(14:46):
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 Thanksgiving holiday and
drove it to a nearby town where she robbed a
bank while claiming to have a gun. And she might
(15:06):
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. Of course, it's
about I reported to return 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
(15:30):
a car and robbed a bank.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Now I'm rich.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
She titled the seven minute video Chick bank Robber and
posted it on YouTube, where 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
hell of shopping spree. However, her internet fame and her
(15:55):
brief life of crime were both cutting short. Police arrested
her shortly after the video went public, and prosecutors using
footage as evidence against her, she got eleven to twenty
two years in prison. She had millions of views. A
forty seven year old suspect drug dealer in Liverpool, England,
(16:17):
decorated his Christmas tree by festooning it with cash and
little bags of cocaine, and then sent pictures of it
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
(16:40):
for multiple locations, and then the ensuing raid sees nearly
two million dollars in cash and narcotics. The man was
arrested and is now enjoying an extended seven year holidays
stay with His Majesty's prison service. Oh there you go
how formal, and finally in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Fire and
(17:04):
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 smoke out of the home. So firefighters rushed inside,
(17:24):
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 members stated that the grandmother had been removing a
(17:45):
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, sending family members running for their lives.
(18:09):
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 in elation.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
The whole thing was horrifying.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
The grandson told officers that image of my topless grandmother
jumping up and down on her flaming blouse.

time I closed my eyes.

Speaker 9 (29:19):
Okay, thank you, John boy.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Good morning. The big show's on the radio. Another chance
to join the winners is coming up.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Where's let's see what's having to a raved Daddy says,
if cramming stuff in the overhead bends of an airplane
called such a disturbance, why aren't the airlines doing more
to stop it?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Well, he notes, they may be.
Speaker 16 (29:57):
Back in the day when flying on an the airliner
was glamorous. People didn't come on board dressed or undressed
like they were going to a college sleepover, and didn't
slip everything with the kitchen sink onto the plane with them.
All baggage was checked at the check in counter. Seats
even in second class, were comfortable. No one got on
board planning to blow the plane up in mid air,
(30:18):
seldom to passengers, gate agents, flight attendants, and airline management
all agree on anything, but all agree that the current
system is awful. Along with the unpleasant airport security checkpoint drill,
the glum ritual of boarding a crowded plane and hoping
to find space in a cramped overhead bin is one
of the two high anxiety choke points in air travel.
(30:39):
Many flight attendants say that the bin storage problem is
the part of their job that they dislike the most.
But anyone who gets on a plane works on one
knows that bags the size of winnebagos and the people
who break rules by hauling them on board or continuing nuisance.
Some domestic airliners are discouraging passengers from lugging oversized carry
(31:00):
on bags onto planes by imposing a charge at the
gate on bags that exceed the posted size limit. Seems
to me the airlines enforce their own rules about the
size of carry on stuff. That wouldn't be one of
their worst loading and unloading problems as it is. Passengers
so possessive of their little pieta tear in the air,
(31:20):
take advantage of it. Give them an inch, they take
a mile. One of the reasons I've just quit getting
on commercial airliners. Robert d Rafer, John Bourne Billy Show.

just all across the board, you know, and our good
friend Beaver Applan.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
You know of Bucky Spain. He put in a million
dollars on the deal.
Speaker 1 (41:33):

Let me tell you all where you can go keep
up with him his YouTube channel at the Robert Earl
Keene And we're celebrating the Robert o'l kean's Greatest Christmas
on Earth tour that was just zied. Began yesterday in Curveville.
And want you to find out when it's going to
be near you and Robert, I just want you to
(41:57):
tell us a little bit about what to expect when
when we see your show. And we can't wait to
see it in Charlotte here coming up December the twelfth.
I don't know if it's sold out yet, but y'all
better get your tickets.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Yeah, bet to get the tickets.
Speaker 19 (42:11):
Definitely, it's you know, a hot property right now, as
they say in the real estate business. So yeah, so
you need to get tickets. But also, like you know,
the thing is, John Boy, you've been at some of them.
We're not there to like sing old Christmas songs that
you can go to your local Walgreens.
Speaker 7 (42:31):
And listen to. You know, we're singing some songs.
Speaker 19 (42:36):
Well, the Greatest Christmas Show on Earth is basically reference
to you know, the Circus, So we're doing circuit themed
songs and things like that, and uh for you you know,
Jackie's favorite drummer is going to kick off the show
with with uh, we are the monkeys, you know, so
(42:57):
we've got some money.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
That's awesome. Well, you're definitely going to want to say
the show when it comes for you.
Speaker 19 (43:08):
Yeah, and so all of that, you know, you know,
we do about I don't know, uh, five or six
songs that are like you know, cover songs, but they
are all songs. One of the things that I always
challenge the mand with is like make sure your song
is well known so people can either tap their foot
along to it or clap or sing along. So all
(43:29):
the songs that we we play, that we bring to
the show. They don't really talk about Christmas. They just
talk about the spirit of Christmas and how Christmas makes
us feel and how we should all, you know, come
together and family and in community, and that's that's the point.
So and also we fill it in with you know,
(43:50):
some of my goofball songs in the middle.
Speaker 7 (43:52):
So I like, I like that.
Speaker 6 (43:54):

all changed instruments and play to each other's That was awesome, man.

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.
