Speaker 2: Like I picked the wrong week? How does Sasa Jonnifer,
Diasberry juice? Hey, this is Tom Chapin.
Speaker 3: Hello, this is just peaching in Rock and Roll History Show.
Speaker 2: You're listening right now.
Speaker 3: Hello, everybody, Welcome back to the Rock and Roll History
Show on Hudson River Radio and Brian Horrowitz. It is
Thanksgiving Part two. We hope you survived part one. Okay,
We're gonna bring this plane in for a nice smooth
landing for part two, and I hope you make it
through fingers crossed before we hop in. As always, allow
me to introduce all the cranbones joining us here tonight.
First and foremost, from the Richter Observatory, he says that
Thanksgiving always ends with a g. Neil Richter's here. I'm Neil.
Speaker 2: Took us back Thanksgiving, everybody. Oh you Jerky's out there.
Speaker 3: I think Gale needs another second. Didn't click yet? All right,
we'll explain it later. From Paranormally Yours, she says that
a bunch of turkey ghosts is called a poultry geist.
From the silver screen. The night before Thanksgiving, she saw
a turkey walk into a bar go over to the
jukebox and select I will survive, I say here, but
will he he's in the bar the night before. Yeah,
I would say he's got pretty good odds.
Speaker 4: So happy Thanksgiving, everybody. I can't believe it's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: It's crazy time flies our official teacher. He says, Plymouth
Rock was so brave because it was a little boulder.
John Kelly's here.
Speaker 5: Oh hey, everybody, Brian, you are true. It is a
little bolder.
Speaker 6: I was just gonna say the most disappointing landmark I
think I've ever seen.
Speaker 5: I completely agree with you, Neil.
Speaker 3: I never bothered to go out of my way to look.
Speaker 2: You look down as like kind of warm shaft, you know, cement. Yeah,
it's like I.
Speaker 3: Saw it on The Brady Bunch.
Speaker 2: They stood around you wouldn't even stub your toe.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, not by Bunch episode where they kept talking about,
you know, how great everything was and wildly historically inaccurate. Yeah,
and that was enough.
Speaker 2: That's good enough.
Speaker 3: And last, but not least, before we get two sidetrack,
the host of Shaving Cream she saw a turkey crossed
the road because it wanted everyone to think it was
a chicken. Barbara Ville is here, high.
Speaker 7: Barbara, the one day of the year you're safe?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 3: So or are you so?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I love traveling and being on the road and all that,
and Plymouth Rock has just never even made the top
one hunt. Now, were you expecting some monolith or something.
Speaker 5: No, I think it's just something a little more, a
little more, something with a little more I don't know, pizazz, perhaps,
I don't know me.
Speaker 4: How does it? How does it compare with the Blarney Stone?
Speaker 6: Oh, the I've I've never seen that, but John, you have,
You've experienced.
Speaker 5: Yes, And I would say the Blarney stone is a
is uh is more entertaining than Plmouth Rock rock.
Speaker 2: I think you know, a bar of soap is more entertaining.
Speaker 7: I'm just highly entertained by the fact that we are
now comparing rocks.
Speaker 5: You know, I mean, this is what we do.
Speaker 3: The thought of the Blarney stone thing is just kind
of gross that you might as well share.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hang upside down or.
Speaker 5: Something people have to hang upside down?
Speaker 7: Yeah, would not let me like, no, thank you.
Speaker 3: Germs don't know they're upside down. So it really just
Blarney stone.
Speaker 2: I was ever in. It was a chain of in
New York.
Speaker 5: Neil do Tael do tel.
Speaker 4: We'll leave that alone, can't remember.
Speaker 3: Still a good story. Yes, all right, we're gonna hop
right in and John, you're gonna leave us off this week.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: Well, my Thanksgiving selection is a little odd, I think
some people might think. And I'll tell you a little
bit about the song and uh uh, you know what's
the story is with it? With the song itself, and
we'll play it and then I'll tell you afterwards how
it's related to Thanksgiving. Came out of the Sky is
written by John Fogerty if Creeden's Clearwater Revival in their
nineteen sixty nine album Willie and the Poor Boys. It
was released as a single in some countries and has
appeared in several of the group's compilation albums. It was
included occasionally in the group's live set even after John
Fogerty left the group and the remaining members reformed the
lyrics and the music. What is it about it came
out of the Sky. It's a satirical song and one
of Creden's Clearwater Revivals first forays into political themes. This
is the season for that, I guess, folks. The lyrics
described what happens when an object, presumably a media write
or flying saucer, falls on the property of a farmer
named Jody. Various politicians and other figures attempt to use
the incident for their own purpose. The US Vice President
Spiro Agnew wants to use the incident to impose attacks
on Mars. Then the governor of California, Ronald Reagan called
Ronnie the Populist, and the song claims it is part
of a communist plot. The Pope claims it is evidence
that the Lord has come, and the movie industry quickly
makes an epic film out of the incident. Walter Cronkite
and another newscaster interviewed Jody, and the Vatican and the
White House argue over who should keep it. Finally, Jody
gets the last word by claiming possession of it and
offering it for sale at the exorbitant price of seventeen
million dollars.
Speaker 3: That is the song.
Speaker 5: Now, what the heck does any of that have to
do with Thanksgiving? I don't even know if I should
ask this question yet. Why don't we just play the
song and then I'll ask the question. Came out of the.
Speaker 8: Sky up a little shower holy j't do that out
on the training to morn to leave what he's seen
round shut very morel let it run all away the
time scream. It came out of the guy just saying
it was MARGI we okay to make up speee of
the raising.
Speaker 2: The lord's down.
Speaker 8: Where you say the lord Holly wooll rushed down the
men film brown in the commoner say he wouldn't coming man.
The man came and made Jody anas shall up the hero.
Speaker 3: What would every said him moment?
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be the show?
Speaker 8: W I said the thing in the moon the same
mom belongs home. Joey said, Mama, you can had it
for seventeen years. You came out of the stop and
jumping in the show. The motut the shack and see
what he sees, laid off the brown shape and very
fool shaking red all the way.
Speaker 3: The cows premade.
Speaker 9: It came out of the sky.
Speaker 5: Okay, everybody came out of the sky. Now, my fellow Crambonians,
does anybody have an idea of what how this is
related to Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: I'm stumped.
Speaker 4: It landed on a farm, and farm farms grow vegetables,
and vegetables are eaten at Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7: Well, it came out of the sky like the turkeys
or did you got it?
Speaker 5: Barbara?
Speaker 3: You get the call?
Speaker 5: There you go at the twenty minutes and fifty second
mark and the famous Turkeys Away episode after Johnny Fever
takes it back from les Nessman. This is the song
he plays, and that is how this is related to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: All right, you got me.
Speaker 2: You got me on that one.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: And you didn't know either.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. No, I would have put him after.
Speaker 5: You need to go to about twenty minutes and fifty
seconds into the episode and you'll catch the very beginning
of it. Came out of the sky.
Speaker 3: That is outstanding.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 5: I know I'm not the music file, but for some
reason I picked up on.
Speaker 3: That is that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Catch Yeah, that is I never would have caught that.
Speaker 3: That is outsides.
Speaker 5: That's my Thanksgiving selection, folks.
Speaker 3: Well that's a perfect read in because we're going to
talk about that episode right now. Still, the most popular
episode of WKRP in Cincinnati came from season one, episode seven.
It's called Turkeys Away, based on a real event. In
the show, the station manager, mister Carlson is feeling left
out because all these youngsters have come in and kind
of taken over and have changed the station into something
more modern that he's not familiar with. So he takes
it upon himself to set up a secret promotional event.
He gets Herb, the advertising sales guy, to buy a
bunch of live turkeys, and he charters a helicopter. They
promote a surprise event at the fictional Pinedale shopping mall,
but nobody knows what it is. Carlson and Herb wind
up tossing live turkeys out of the helicopter onto the
live waiting crowd below. In reality, Jerry Bloom did drive
did drop live turkeys on a crowd at the real
station WQXI in Atlanta. It was either from a truck
or it may have been from a helicopter. Those are
the details they got. Kind of murky, I'm going to
guess from the back of a truck. They were just
tossing turkeys. Why anybody would want a live turkey right
before Thanksgiving, yeah, beyond me. But that was the idea
for the promotion. So in the show, reporter Les Nessman
is out doing a live report. So this is the
clip when Johnny just turns it over to less Just
listen to this real short clip.
Speaker 8: All right, fellow babies, And now it's time to go
to our live remote man on the scene at the
Pinedale Shopping Mall for.
Speaker 2: The big WKRP turkey giveaway. So take it away, less ness.
Speaker 3: Man, So less to standing outside the fix Pinedale Shopping Mall. Nowadays,
you can do remotes, you know, reporters do live reports
from anywhere. You do it on a cell phone. You
have Wi Fi, you have cell coverage. Back then, you
needed a landline. You had to run a phone line
to this little mixture that was built just to do
remotes and hope that nobody picked up an extension and
interrupted your report. So it could be a bit of
a headache. I had to do that way back.
Speaker 2: It can be a nightmare.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had to hope that somebody do.
Speaker 2: It several many times.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just had to hope that somebody would let
you use their phone line because it would tie it
up the whole time.
Speaker 6: Now they couldn't take it off like a storefront like
as in you know what, the lessons in front of
you had to like beg them and they would give you,
and they gave me one that was connected to the
credit card swiper. Uh huh, oh lord, every time they
made a sale and swiped the credit card. Yes, who
got bumped off the air?
Speaker 3: I didn't know this, So if the listeners knew, then
they could have had some sort of receiver and gotten
everybody's credit card number as it was being swiped.
Speaker 2: It was oh you were yeah, it could be a headache.
Speaker 3: It could be a headache.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So you had to plug in somewhere, so less of
standing outside this shopping center and you hear the sound effects,
you hear the helicopter coming, and less it's just describing
what's going on. And the dialogue is based on the
Hindenburg airship disaster when it blew up, and less even
says the line, oh the humanity like the reporter did
when the Hindenburg exploded. They filmed this on one stage
in real time, no editing. It was done straight through.
They did it on what's called a swing set, so
you had your fixed set and you had a swing set,
so your fixed set. It would be like the broadcast
booth that they used for every episode. The office spaces
Carlson's office that kind of stuff that changed. They built
the shopping center on a swing set off to the side,
So less Nessman is standing off to the side and
everybody else is in the broadcast booth and they are
just going back and forth with this dialogue. And how
they did it straight through without losing it is just
beyond me because it is so well done.
Speaker 2: The beauty is you.
Speaker 3: Never see a turkey, you never see the helicopter, you
never see a turkey getting hurt, none of the It's
all less Nessman's description. So listen to just this classic
clip from wkrpy Culture.
Speaker 10: Seems to be circling the parking area now, I guess
it's looking for a place to land. No, something just
came out of the back of the helicopter. It's a
dark object, perhaps a skydiver, plumbing to the earth from
only two thousand feet of the air. The third's no
curshue yet, can't be skydivers.
Speaker 2: I can't help what they are. Oh my god, the turkey.
Speaker 6: To get this. They're crunching in their.
Speaker 8: Brighter the win chuni pot.
Speaker 2: My mother's running around pushing each other.
Speaker 5: Oh my dams, Oh but you moments people are.
Speaker 2: Running the bobs of the turnkeys.
Speaker 10: Are hitting the ground like sets of w SAMs.
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know how much Logan the theatron
is running.
Speaker 8: For their lives.
Speaker 2: I think I go to step in site. I can't
stay out here and watch the city halls.
Speaker 5: No, I can't go in there.
Speaker 11: Tregedy hasn't been anything like that.
Speaker 5: I don't know how much longer I can.
Speaker 2: Hold my position here.
Speaker 6: Johnny the last are you there?
Speaker 4: Lass isn't there.
Speaker 3: I don't know how he could have pulled that off
without just losing it. Oh, it's so funny, hitting the
ground like sex of whit submit. That was such a classic.
Speaker 2: I was done. I was that that line. I was.
I was done.
Speaker 3: Oh so great.
Speaker 2: I had to change my underwear.
Speaker 3: I love it all right, So his remote broadcast gets interrupted.
You got dead air, and then Johnny comes back on
and does this and listen on.
Speaker 2: The spot report just tuned in. The Pinedale shopping mall
has just.
Speaker 8: Been bombed with.
Speaker 5: I don't have the song part john but oh yeah,
right when he says film at eleven and he goes
right into that is so cool.
Speaker 3: I never knew that. That's awesome, absolute classic episode, most
of it, you know, it's all on YouTube. You may
have to dig around a little bit, but it's worth
a watch. It is so well done and it's just
so funny.
Speaker 6: Well that adding that song, which I didn't even catch,
was a testament to how brilliant this show was. It
was not it was like just a minutia, but it
was like the perfect song to play. Even if if
you didn't know what it was, they were on it.
Speaker 5: They knew it, you know. I just I'm such a
Fogerty fan. I've been to so many shows over the years,
and I was just a little rewatching the episode and
I just caught that that guitar riff right there at
the beginning of the you know, right at that at
that moment, right when he goes back, you know, to
Johnny Fever there, and I'm like, that's Fogerty, And I
looked it up and yep, sure enough, it came out
of the sky by Fogerty.
Speaker 3: That's great, it's perfect. All right, We're gonna take a
real quick break and be back with one more round
of Thanksgiving happiness right after this a stick.
Speaker 2: Around Hudson River Radio dot com.
Speaker 4: This concludes the first part of this cassette. Please turn
the cassette over and begin again.
Speaker 5: On side to.
Speaker 3: Hudson River Radio dot com. A favorite among shut ins
and dogs, and welcome back, Mercedes. We are up to you.
Speaker 4: Thanks Brian. I don't know how I'm supposed to follow
any of that. Between John's song and KRP the turkey chop,
I don't know. Can I just do mine next week?
Speaker 3: You should have done what I'd done.
Speaker 10: Did it?
Speaker 3: I got a whiskey sour right here.
Speaker 4: Good for you.
Speaker 2: That was smart, Okay, I say it was wild turkey.
Speaker 3: But now those are college days that's long gone.
Speaker 4: So I have a hard time every year picking a
song for this topic. There seems to be so few
legit songs on the topic of Thanksgiving, and the ones
that there are either too obvious or total saccharine. So
after some random googling and some thought, I found this.
This is something that everyone can relate to at the
holiday shopping. Excuse me, this is something that everyone can
relate at the holiday shopping in the grocery store. And
we talked about that last week a little bit with
Gail Song. We all got to do it. There's no
way to do Thanksgiving without some food. Shopping unless you
get it catered, or you just don't acknowledge the holiday.
I guess anyway, the song title is lost in the supermarket,
and it is by the song, It is by the clash.
It was released on the nineteen seventy nine LP London,
calling their third album, and was written by Joe Strummer
and Mick Jones. Rolling Stone ranked the Double LP number
one on its list of the one hundred best albums
of the eighties, even though it technically came out in
seventy nine, but to be fair, the magazine was using
the American release date of January nineteen eighty. The supermarket
referred to in the song as the International, which is
a leading chain of grocery stores based in London. Joe
Strummer wrote the chorus on the backside of an Ernie
ball strings envelope and correct me if I'm wrong, Brian.
But that's pretty small, isn't it.
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 3: No, like guitar strings would be five by five, six
by six. Yeah, okay, I could guess if yeah, it
wouldn't fit.
Speaker 4: But Mick Jones claims the song was written about him.
It has been suggested that Strummer spun it that way
because it was a highly personal song for himself, and
that might explain why Strummer asked Jones to sing it
for him. Either way, it worked out perfectly Jones. Jones
captures the feel of the song. The song is about
someone struggling to deal with the increasingly commercialized world and
rampant compute commute consumerism. It speaks about suburban alienation and
young people's feelings of disillusion.
Speaker 3: Wow, what a night I'm along with the whiskey sour.
Speaker 4: Should have shared dish disillusionment?
Speaker 2: Is that right? Is that right?
Speaker 4: Doesn't need to sound right for modern society. So here's
a cheery little Thanksgiving song for you. Let's just play it.
Speaker 12: Oh my lesson the super can long shop, Can's gonna
share it up?
Speaker 11: Peoples, minty.
Speaker 13: So much as I fan out, no body scene to
notice me. We had a h back home and a
suburb over which I never could see the people who
live on the ceiling screaming five for scon Hearing that
noise was my first e buffy healing. That's how it's
been all around me, all last in the super market,
I can long and shut that.
Speaker 14: I came in here a special love, the guarantee personality I'm.
Speaker 13: On tuning, I see all the programs. A safety ponds
back at the teeth. I've got my giant is discoc album.
I empty a bottles.
Speaker 3: I feel a bit free.
Speaker 11: Kids and halls and the pugs in the walls make
good noises for cont longest of callers, make long list
of colors.
Speaker 14: And the silence it makes me long.
Speaker 11: All last in the super market, I can no longer

Speaker 2: I gave it he of the.
Speaker 14: Special alta I guaranty person.
Speaker 11: Malty that's not here, just a.

Speaker 4: So I don't know if you caught the chorus, but
it's I'm all all lost, all lost in the supermarket.
I can no longer shop happily. I came in here
for that special offer, A guaranteed personality.
Speaker 3: That's deep.
Speaker 10: So.
Speaker 4: The Clash were an English rock band that were formed
in London in nineteen seventy six. Their lineup consistent of
Joe drummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonson, I'm sorry, Paul Wow,
I'm really having a rough time tonight, Miss Simon, and
and Nikki Topper headn Is that right? Or is it headen?
Speaker 6: I thought anybody, but I've never I've never been clear
on that either, So just aver, He'll come okay.
Speaker 4: They had a US Top ten hit with the rock Decasma.
Speaker 1: Of course, one of my favorite songs.
Speaker 4: They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame in two thousand and three. Throughout nineteen seventy seven,
the band was arrested for some interesting crimes. For example,
Strummer and Tip what was it Tipper Topper Popper were
arrested for stealing pillow cases from a hotel room in Newcastle.
My guess, my guess on that is that they didn't
have like luggage or something like that. They needed a place.
Speaker 3: What that's a laundry bag.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In the early days, the Clash often went hungry once
after a long night spent putting up posters. Back in
the day, you had to use flour and water paste
and you would smear it on and post it up
on walls. Paul Simon and heated up the remainder of
the flower and water paste on a rusty blade and
ate it.
Speaker 2: Now that's pumped.
Speaker 9: Punk.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the Blockheads. Ian Durry's band UH once turned
off unexpectedly at a clash recording session dressed as policeman,
causing Mick Jones to flush all of his illicit substances
down the toilet and the rest of the band to flee.
British Telecom wanted to use London Calling for an advertising campaign.
They were told to bog off Russian. I had not
heard before.
Speaker 2: Is that like, yeah, yeah, a derivative of booger bog.
Speaker 4: And something I've often.
Speaker 5: You got me.
Speaker 4: I don't know. This is all news to me. There's
something I've often wondered about. Why wasn't Train in Vain
listed as a track on London Calling on the LP.
Mick Jones has said, the real story on Train and
Vain is that we originally we needed a song to
give to NME, which is a magazine in music paper
for a flexi disc, which I'm assuming is one of those, like, yeah,
the flimsy Yeah, I was gonna say floppy disc, but
that's a whole nother story, like a really thin plastic disc.
Speaker 3: Inserts and magazine.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, like I did one of my shows
on flexi discs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cool.
Speaker 3: Early when I was learning based way back when the
instructional books came with flexi discs in the back, play
the examples.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's how they started off as instructional usually teaching
like a foreign language or something, but that's how they started.
Speaker 4: So it didn't work out. So they had this spare
track that we that they had done as a giveaway,
So he said, we put it on London Calling, but
there wasn't time because the sleeves were already done. The
result of this late edition was that it was the
only song without lyrics printed on the insert and was
not listed as a track. Although his presence isn't noun
as the title obviously and no, not obviously.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, what, Yeah, I don't. I don't think
they actually ever say that, right, No, but.
Speaker 4: They did say that the In the original vinyl recording record,
it was scratched into the vinyl in the needle runoff
area on the fourth side of the album, which I'm
assuming is around the center label. Right, is that the runoff?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's where, yeah, where the record ends, and then
then it goes fast to the annual.
Speaker 4: Right yeah, right, yeah, so apparently it's etched there. I
don't know if that was just certain amount of copies
or whether that was all of them. But this is
just a reminder to shop early and please don't get
lost in the supermarket this time of year. It is
not a good place to be.
Speaker 3: No, it's not fun.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 3: I avoid the supermarket. My wife does that. I do
the hardware store, stuff in appliances and whatnot. That's the deal,
so I can't complain. But yeah, it's awful cool. That
was a surprisingly deep song. Nice, excellent. All right, one
last look at WKRP. The ending of the episode of
Turkeys Away is what cemented it like a sack of
what cement into history. All the turkeys were dropped on
the crowd. Everybody went nuts. Less nessman got dropped off.
Johnny ed libs. They go back in the end of
the episode, the last scene, it's like attack on It's
almost like they an afterthought, Carlson, Herb Tarlic, and less
Nessman come back into the studio. Less Nessman comes in first.
His clothes are ripped up because he was attacked by
the crowd. Then Carlson and Tarlk walk in. They are
covered in turkey feathers that they got from wardrobe. But
they didn't tell anybody else in the cast what they
were going to do. So they're all standing in the
lobby of the station and Carlson and her come walking
around the corner. Their suits are ripped up and they
just have turkey feathers all over them, and everybody just
starts laughing. And that's legit, that's real because they didn't
know that that was gonna happen, which is great. Carlson
goes into his office. A couple seconds later he comes
back out and he says the most iconic line of
WKRP in Cincinnati. Let me play it for you, as
God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Speaker 2: I love that line.
Speaker 3: I have several T shirts with it printed on it.
Didn't buy any of them, they were all given to me.
They're all awesome. So what a line, what a closing line?
It's great one last thing, So we talked about the
opening thing to the opening theme to w CA. The
closing theme is just as memorable. That was written and
played by Jim Ellis. There was a melody that he wrote.
It was originally going to be played by a saxophone,
but instead Ellis himself recorded a demo with just gibberish
made up words that were supposed to be a placeholder.
He was supposed to go back and make them into
real words later on, but Wilson, the show creator, decided
that he wanted to use that demo as is for
two reasons. One because it was a tongue in cheek
joke that you can't understand rock singers most of the
time anyway, and you don't know what they're saying. And
the genius part is that he knew that there was
always a voice over at the end of every show
about what's coming up next your local TV station, you know,
the ten o'clock news, or coming up next, or they
would always have some sort of announcement over it, so
even if there were real lyrics, you wouldn't hear them
anyway because they would be spoken over. So it was
just genius to leave the gibberish words as is, and
I had it memorized as much as I had the
opening theme memorized.
Speaker 4: So give seriously serious gibberish.
Speaker 3: I had it down that yep. But give a listen.
Listen to how catchy it is. Check this out. Of course,
the mew, the mt M mew, which was a goof
on the MGM Lion. So tell me that's not a
catchy song like you could catch lyrics?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know how you learned the lyrics. Learned
the quote unquote lyrics.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I never paid that much, but I did sticker. I
didn't like, you know, go get a sandwich or or
switch to the next show another chance. I stayed for
that song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, even want to talk over
you know, blotted that out and rocked out to the song.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was very frustrated though that I couldn't understand the lyrics.
I thought, Yeah, I felt like I was.
Speaker 3: So close, you know.
Speaker 5: But I think when people hear that who don't know
what's gibberish really do It's fun to see people struggle
to figure out what the heck is being said fits.
Speaker 6: And yeah, you make you make up your own words.
That kind of sound like it maybe exactly, and it's
the way.
Speaker 4: It's definitely about a girl, right.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like it always is.
Speaker 6: You're listening to a song, you know, and you don't
really know the words, so you got it. Then you
get to the words you know, but you know, yeah,
that's it all right.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope we helped everybody get through Thanksgiving. I
hope they survived without strangling any relatives or anything along
those lines. Any final words from anybody, any of the
crambones before we pull the plug on this.

and the wild ones can get nasty. They're chasing cars crazy.
Speaker 2: They're ugly and crazy, and.
Speaker 3: Ugly is in the eye of the beholder because they

be pretty nast and they're fast. They can run alongside
a car.
Speaker 2: Wow.

somewhere else from what I heard, because.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, did they use a helicopter?
