Speaker 3 (14:54):
Good Morning Big Shows on the radio.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
About twenty minutes, James Gregor explains the differences Queen tornadoes
and hurricane.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That is Good morning, Big Jon, Jon bon Villa, Yeo man,
Maxie Max, how's it going a whole?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Guess Ah?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You're mad?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
No more calls please, we have a winner, I believe
it or not. Fellas they've discovered a new kind of
sexual preference. You already know about heterosexuals, homosexuals, and bisexuals.
Well there's a new one called I kid you not
vagan sexuals. Some university down in New Zealand surveyed a
(15:36):
bunch of vegetarians, and a lot of them listened their
sexual orientation as vagan sexual, which means they won't eat
meat and they won't have sex with anybody that does.
I didn't even know what a vegan was till I
heard this. I thought I was one of them poiniared
Boogers from Star Track. Turns out a vegan is a
(15:58):
hardcore vegetar. Not only won't eat meat, they won't use
anything that comes from my animal at all. That means
no milk, no cheese, no eggs, even though you can
get all that stuff from animals without actually killing them.
I guess they think milking a cow counts as sexual enssler. Anyway,
(16:19):
vegan sexuals will only get jiggy with somebody that's has
screwed up as ay off or get looks personality. How
much money you make all these goods care about us?
Whether you eat toa furky for Thanksgiving dinner, my big
old meaty. But one vegan sex will admits she's sometimes
(16:40):
attracted to meat eaters, but tries to stay away from
them because their body is literally made out of the
bodies of others who died for their sustenance. And here's
the money quote. When people eat a meat he died,
they're kind of a graveyard for animals. Oh yeah, we're
really gonna miss her. We're in a dating pool. I
(17:02):
hate to be judgment let me just say this when
it comes to finding a boyfriend, most of the vegetarians
I run across can't afford to get real picky. I mean,
you already pasty looking, wearing polyester pants and rubber shoes
and munching on bean sprouts. You really want to cut
down your prospects morning you already have. I don't get
(17:24):
me wrong, I'm a reasonable guy. You don't want to
eat meat, More power to you, But personally, I didn't
crawl my way to the top of the food chain
to eat garden burgers. In fact, I think I'm gonna
start me and you group the meat bytarians. We're kind
of like the Presbyterians, but we're gonna eat all the meat.
The veggie sections don't walk. It's a one hundred percent
(17:47):
vegetable free diet. Nothing but tea bowls and cheeseburgers and
pork ribs or a communion. We're doing away with wine
and bread. Everybody gets a shot glass of Grabby and
a chicken mc nugget. Can I get amen to find
out more about the meat Bytarians. You're invited to attend
our next worship service. It'll be the night at six
(18:08):
pm and Boost number five and out back Shakeout. We'll
own up a bunch of twenty house Ribis Medium Racle,
the meat Bactarians, No rules, just right, I'll have a
nice day.

wild I'm afraid of is tornados?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I came to this conclusion watching television news most of
my life. If that is a tornado, I has never
touched an intelligent man's trailer. No, I can't find one
to talk to on the news. Well, you just think
about this. Randy I don't care whether you're twenty one
years of age or age one. I don't care how
(22:14):
long you've been on this earth. I will bet you
any amount of money that in your entire lifetime you
have never seen the evening news a tordinative victim from
a trailer park in a three piece suit, a Martin
grab shirt, going yes, this was rather devastating. A tree
fell on the lexus in our hot toes. I believe
(22:42):
with all my heart that when a tordinator hits the
news director at the local TV station, he tells his
reporter get out to the trailer park and interview a
dumb ass.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
And try to.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Find one who's married to a fat woman. Here's the couple.
They always interview standley where their trailer used to be.
The husband's always real frail. He's like one hundred and
twelve pounds one hundred and eight without the belt buckle,
wear a little John deercap, got a tech too, got
(23:20):
a tire gauge in his pocket, that's in case the
trailer don't see level standing next to his wife. Day's
wife weighs four hundred wearing those tight, tight polyestra pants.
I mean, why did they wear that John boy, don't.
Don't they know how that looks? I mean, I know
they're fat, but hell, they're not blind. Four hundred pounds
(23:42):
woman put on tight polyestra pants. Then look in the
mirror and go all right, it seems like she's always
wearing a beeper. I need to tell you all something
about fat people and beepers. Then you wear the old
kind of beeper, the one that made a noise. They
got his mind or high tech was. Now they don't
make a noise that simply vibrating. Will trust me on this.
(24:04):
If you weigh four hundred pounds, you're missing calls. You
will feel something you were just like a sweat. You
know what do these people always say about the tornado?
I thought it was a freight trailer. Now the railroad
travel within one hundred miles and there's rocket signed this.
(24:26):
It's the locomotive. Just made the left and you just driveway. Now.
See I am not the smartest guy in the world.
That may come as a surprise to you, But idea this.
If I was sitting in my den at home and
just thought, just thought that there was a freight train somewhere,
you're my mailbox, my button, would be out of the way,
you know, I would say it's about hurricanes. Have I
(24:47):
got a minute, though, it's good time talking about that now.
All joking aside, well a much we do about tornado.
It's just too quick point. But please people listen to me.
In the history of mankind, there has never been any
such thing as a sudden hurricane. They form eyes over
the ocean. They track them for two or three weeks.
(25:08):
Every evening of the local television news, the anchorman says
to the viewing audience, Look, this hurricane will be coming
through your neighborhood a week from Thursday, and hell they
just wait on it. If you ever want to watch
(25:28):
people on the other coast, thanks of us, you're a
hurricane seasons like in California's what I mean by that.
The other thing you and I will ever know about
mud slides is what we learn by watching the news
as they occur in California, because we don't have them,
say with our quakes now flip flop all that. They
don't have hurricanes on that coast just here. All they
know is what they learn by watching us. Here's what
(25:49):
they know by watching us on TV. They know the
hurricanes doing one hundred and twenty six mile an hour.
They know the military has sent in the eighty second
Airborne Vision to evacuate the military base. Get those tanks
and bomber jets out of the way. They don't stand
a chance. And here's what else they see off the news,
an interview with mister Administress Harold Washington, and damit, they're
(26:13):
on the way to home depotment. If they just get
supplied with hell, they can ride it. Do you know
to be bluggy about you, there are some people who
deserve to die.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yo, wise up and be careful.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Going up next to James wonders why the UFOs don't

Speaker 1 (32:25):
You got it, buddy. Good morning, got the Big Show
on the radio. Still a couple of Big Show clips
featuring James Gregory on her tribute show talking about UFOs
coming up next.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Good Morning, Big Show's on the radio.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Back to I tribute to James Gregory, hey Man, forget Roswell.
Next Monday will mark the six thousandth, two hundred and
fortieth anniversary of the first ever UFO sighting in recorded history.
Yeah right, no, James historian Frederick Mesk the ancient Egyptians,
(33:27):
he said, the ancient Egyptian He's not one. No, he
said they spotted a spacecraft and encountered an alien being
on July nineteenth, four, two hundred and forty one PC.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Uh huh you believe all that job? No, No, I
was just an ongoing joke.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
See, I've never made about that. I don't believe. I
don't think anybody it really believes there's life on other planets.
It's just that they pretend to because it comes across
it has then been an intellect. See, I mean a lot
of people believe to this that we have been visited
by UFOs now, but see I don't believe, and I
got common sense to back it up. Now, if you
(34:06):
ask somebody that does believe in life on other planets,
why do you believe that? Well, it's just logical. Earth
is not the only place that has life. End of
the explanation. Now here's my explanation why they don't exist.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
If we have been visited by aliens or the UFO,
that means there's a life for them out there, much
more intelligent than anything here on Earth, far advanced from
us as far as brain power technology.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We've been tracking them for fifty years. Wouldn't you think
just once in the past fifty years, if these super
intelligent aliens just once, if there's little cumbers far wouldn't
they land the spaceship like in Orlando, Disney World, Times Square,
maybe Chicago see the Dodgers play. But now thou always
(34:54):
landing next to a hog pen in Arkansas? Always always
that that we end up with a pig farmer on nightline. Well,
hell yeah, I think out outside that hit my ball
put his car up on blocks. It wasn't broke down.
(35:17):
Which one in front yards? That looked good? And all
of a sudden I heard this loud whiz and noise.
I tell my son, you by the pissing Amazellias. About
that time I looked up and I saw that UFO
lady right, Well see where all that grace is match down? Well, yeah,
(35:37):
that that's where my wife failed. That's why nobody believes
in UFOs because they've never had an intelligent eyewitness say
I had the theory about I believe this country, America
only has one official eyewitness. That's why I look familiar
and the using for everything, the using for UFOs. Then
(35:59):
I you a match Tornado and he's the one that
saw Elvis at Burger Key. It's the same paper, you know.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Good morning, Big shows on the radio, Thank everybody is here.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
On the James Gregory Tribute Show.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Appreciate reaction to James through the years. Man, right before
we get out of here, here we go roll out.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Well I got I got a late start in this business.
I didn't start comedy until I was in my mid thirties.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So so you worked.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I had normal jobs up until then. You know, my
first job out the high sky. I got my first
job when I was twelve years old. But cut, you
cut your grocery store kept that time. I was eighteen
and I was the first Gregory ever to get a
high school diploma, got his civil service job. All the
king folks was just I was something. Okay, I can't
(37:12):
this is the truth. Here's how they looked at the
high school diploma. I quit civil service and started selling
pots and pans on commission. Now, warm this cook? I
remember that back?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Remember that?
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, so everybody thought that I just gone nuts door
to door. Yeah, oh yeah, that kind of seals. I
stayed in sales for a long time til I got
them this lot of work. But anyway, here's what I
Ain't Ruby said to my mama one time. She said,
my mama talking about wish I had to get up
civil service to go into sales. You know, Ain't Reb said,
well he might as welles. I don't know why he
(37:45):
messed with civil service. I spear. She said this, with
his education, he should have been a lawyer orself. It
was just it was just high school diploma. See even
civil services on that dawn date Ruperteah. We thought his
(38:06):
education he'd be a lawyer or something. But I tell
something else too about being in this business. Though it's
a higher standard that you can, folks hold you to.
There's so many young comedians that give up because the
families puts pressure on them. See you in this business,
you haven't made it, supposedly to a civilian, if they
(38:26):
haven't seen you your sitcom or something. I know comedians
making one hundred and fifty grand a year. And uh,
he's engaged and the fiance's mother is going, well, I
don't think he's ever gonna make it because see nobody
see him on TV. Well, who's your daughter engaged to? Well,
he's a comedian. What's his name? You know? Joe Blow?
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
They him? Well, he keeps trying image one hundred and fifty
grand a year.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Now if he was a plumber, you know, Joe Blow,
he's a plumber. Well, plumbers make good money.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
But in this business, if you're not famous, you'll failure. Yeah,
I controller is that way. God rest is soul and
dead to the dead's gone. But and I can Trollie's
following years. Every month my dad would go pick up
Uncle Charlie, go get your so security check, cash, go
up to bank, pay his bills, and I'll can Charlie
say the same thing every month. Has Melvin that's my brother, Well,
(39:26):
Melvin's he's still plumbing. Yeah, my brother's a plumber. Has
Mayor Emma, that's my sister, she's still retired. Well, yeah, Charlie,
she'll always be retired. She's disabled. Did you never find
a job? And my damn saying, Charlie, he's got a job.
He's a comedian. I don't mean jokes, Devin, I mean
a drum every damn month, said, I don't mean jokes,
(39:50):
I mean a job.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
You know.
Speaker 9 (39:53):
So you know there's a lot of people that's working
right now that do not like their jobs.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Oh, I know, you know.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
And and really, well, I wonder what the percentages.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
I think it's a large plant. Well, none of us
like our job every single day. We don't have bad
And I think so much. I know people who tell
me of cousins, you know we have a death in
the family, they always show up, you know, we have
a death in family, you know, And because that's the
time I see them funeral, not every ten years ago.
And they said, yeah, I wouldn't buy being a comedian,
(40:23):
but I y'all work on services. If there's a sertergy involved,
healthy Dydra to live in a tent then to work
on service.
Speaker 9 (40:38):
Well, what advice would you give to people listen who
who know what their love is? How do you turn
what you like into your job?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I think what you have to be strong enough, not
do you have a rats ask what other people think,
and there's very few people that strong tav the truth. See,
there's some of your comedy clubs around that we kind
of think that comedy clubs have always been around. But
the first comedy club in the southeastern United States opening
in Alna in nineteen eighty two, they had never been
one in this part of the world to see a
(41:07):
comedian live. And but you are in la if possibly Chicago,
all right, so those guys open the club in Alna,
Georgia happened to be my home. I'd always enjoyed comedy
because you stay up late watching the Tonight Show, even
when I was in high school. Right, so we go
out there on the open mic night just to see
the comics because we enjoyed comedy. Then I had friends
who always thought I was funny. Won't you try to
(41:29):
open mic night? And that's how it happened. That's how
you start this. And I often wondered if that bush
Line had to open in eighty two and I had
been in Indiana for the past ten years in sales,
had come home, hung around Alna for a year, and
what would I be doing now if that hadn't happened?
Just you know what I mean, just fake. I did
what people did to a lot of people, especially the
(41:50):
people get too engrossed in what it says on a
business card or what it says on your door. You know,
to me, like Jeff Shaw is a comedian, we know
how include in Ohio. He dropped out of college to
pursue comedy. He's now When I see my friends that
when they hadn't got the degree, they all say the
same thing. Hello, Welcome to Applebee's.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Good Morning Big Shows on the radio.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
About twenty minutes, James Gregor explains the differences Queen tornadoes
and hurricane.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That is Good morning, Big Jon, Jon bon Villa, Yeo man,
Maxie Max, how's it going a whole?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Guess Ah?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You're mad?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
No more calls please, we have a winner, I believe
it or not. Fellas they've discovered a new kind of
sexual preference. You already know about heterosexuals, homosexuals, and bisexuals.
Well there's a new one called I kid you not
vagan sexuals. Some university down in New Zealand surveyed a
(15:36):
bunch of vegetarians, and a lot of them listened their
sexual orientation as vagan sexual, which means they won't eat
meat and they won't have sex with anybody that does.
I didn't even know what a vegan was till I
heard this. I thought I was one of them poiniared
Boogers from Star Track. Turns out a vegan is a
(15:58):
hardcore vegetar. Not only won't eat meat, they won't use
anything that comes from my animal at all. That means
no milk, no cheese, no eggs, even though you can
get all that stuff from animals without actually killing them.
I guess they think milking a cow counts as sexual enssler. Anyway,
(16:19):
vegan sexuals will only get jiggy with somebody that's has
screwed up as ay off or get looks personality. How
much money you make all these goods care about us?
Whether you eat toa furky for Thanksgiving dinner, my big
old meaty. But one vegan sex will admits she's sometimes
(16:40):
attracted to meat eaters, but tries to stay away from
them because their body is literally made out of the
bodies of others who died for their sustenance. And here's
the money quote. When people eat a meat he died,
they're kind of a graveyard for animals. Oh yeah, we're
really gonna miss her. We're in a dating pool. I
(17:02):
hate to be judgment let me just say this when
it comes to finding a boyfriend, most of the vegetarians
I run across can't afford to get real picky. I mean,
you already pasty looking, wearing polyester pants and rubber shoes
and munching on bean sprouts. You really want to cut
down your prospects morning you already have. I don't get
(17:24):
me wrong, I'm a reasonable guy. You don't want to
eat meat, More power to you, But personally, I didn't
crawl my way to the top of the food chain
to eat garden burgers. In fact, I think I'm gonna
start me and you group the meat bytarians. We're kind
of like the Presbyterians, but we're gonna eat all the meat.
The veggie sections don't walk. It's a one hundred percent
(17:47):
vegetable free diet. Nothing but tea bowls and cheeseburgers and
pork ribs or a communion. We're doing away with wine
and bread. Everybody gets a shot glass of Grabby and
a chicken mc nugget. Can I get amen to find
out more about the meat Bytarians. You're invited to attend
our next worship service. It'll be the night at six
(18:08):
pm and Boost number five and out back Shakeout. We'll
own up a bunch of twenty house Ribis Medium Racle,
the meat Bactarians, No rules, just right, I'll have a
nice day.

wild I'm afraid of is tornados?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I came to this conclusion watching television news most of
my life. If that is a tornado, I has never
touched an intelligent man's trailer. No, I can't find one
to talk to on the news. Well, you just think
about this. Randy I don't care whether you're twenty one
years of age or age one. I don't care how
(22:14):
long you've been on this earth. I will bet you
any amount of money that in your entire lifetime you
have never seen the evening news a tordinative victim from
a trailer park in a three piece suit, a Martin
grab shirt, going yes, this was rather devastating. A tree
fell on the lexus in our hot toes. I believe
(22:42):
with all my heart that when a tordinator hits the
news director at the local TV station, he tells his
reporter get out to the trailer park and interview a
dumb ass.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
And try to.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Find one who's married to a fat woman. Here's the couple.
They always interview standley where their trailer used to be.
The husband's always real frail. He's like one hundred and
twelve pounds one hundred and eight without the belt buckle,
wear a little John deercap, got a tech too, got
(23:20):
a tire gauge in his pocket, that's in case the
trailer don't see level standing next to his wife. Day's
wife weighs four hundred wearing those tight, tight polyestra pants.
I mean, why did they wear that John boy, don't.
Don't they know how that looks? I mean, I know
they're fat, but hell, they're not blind. Four hundred pounds
(23:42):
woman put on tight polyestra pants. Then look in the
mirror and go all right, it seems like she's always
wearing a beeper. I need to tell you all something
about fat people and beepers. Then you wear the old
kind of beeper, the one that made a noise. They
got his mind or high tech was. Now they don't
make a noise that simply vibrating. Will trust me on this.
(24:04):
If you weigh four hundred pounds, you're missing calls. You
will feel something you were just like a sweat. You
know what do these people always say about the tornado?
I thought it was a freight trailer. Now the railroad
travel within one hundred miles and there's rocket signed this.
(24:26):
It's the locomotive. Just made the left and you just driveway. Now.
See I am not the smartest guy in the world.
That may come as a surprise to you, But idea this.
If I was sitting in my den at home and
just thought, just thought that there was a freight train somewhere,
you're my mailbox, my button, would be out of the way,
you know, I would say it's about hurricanes. Have I
(24:47):
got a minute, though, it's good time talking about that now.
All joking aside, well a much we do about tornado.
It's just too quick point. But please people listen to me.
In the history of mankind, there has never been any
such thing as a sudden hurricane. They form eyes over
the ocean. They track them for two or three weeks.
(25:08):
Every evening of the local television news, the anchorman says
to the viewing audience, Look, this hurricane will be coming
through your neighborhood a week from Thursday, and hell they
just wait on it. If you ever want to watch
(25:28):
people on the other coast, thanks of us, you're a
hurricane seasons like in California's what I mean by that.
The other thing you and I will ever know about
mud slides is what we learn by watching the news
as they occur in California, because we don't have them,
say with our quakes now flip flop all that. They
don't have hurricanes on that coast just here. All they
know is what they learn by watching us. Here's what
(25:49):
they know by watching us on TV. They know the
hurricanes doing one hundred and twenty six mile an hour.
They know the military has sent in the eighty second
Airborne Vision to evacuate the military base. Get those tanks
and bomber jets out of the way. They don't stand
a chance. And here's what else they see off the news,
an interview with mister Administress Harold Washington, and damit, they're
(26:13):
on the way to home depotment. If they just get
supplied with hell, they can ride it. Do you know
to be bluggy about you, there are some people who
deserve to die.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yo, wise up and be careful.
Speaker 1 (26:31):

Speaker 1 (32:25):
You got it, buddy. Good morning, got the Big Show
on the radio. Still a couple of Big Show clips
featuring James Gregory on her tribute show talking about UFOs
coming up next.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Good Morning, Big Show's on the radio.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Back to I tribute to James Gregory, hey Man, forget Roswell.
Next Monday will mark the six thousandth, two hundred and
fortieth anniversary of the first ever UFO sighting in recorded history.
Yeah right, no, James historian Frederick Mesk the ancient Egyptians,
(33:27):
he said, the ancient Egyptian He's not one. No, he
said they spotted a spacecraft and encountered an alien being
on July nineteenth, four, two hundred and forty one PC.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Uh huh you believe all that job? No, No, I
was just an ongoing joke.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
See, I've never made about that. I don't believe. I
don't think anybody it really believes there's life on other planets.
It's just that they pretend to because it comes across
it has then been an intellect. See, I mean a lot
of people believe to this that we have been visited
by UFOs now, but see I don't believe, and I
got common sense to back it up. Now, if you
(34:06):
ask somebody that does believe in life on other planets,
why do you believe that? Well, it's just logical. Earth
is not the only place that has life. End of
the explanation. Now here's my explanation why they don't exist.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
If we have been visited by aliens or the UFO,
that means there's a life for them out there, much
more intelligent than anything here on Earth, far advanced from
us as far as brain power technology.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We've been tracking them for fifty years. Wouldn't you think
just once in the past fifty years, if these super
intelligent aliens just once, if there's little cumbers far wouldn't
they land the spaceship like in Orlando, Disney World, Times Square,
maybe Chicago see the Dodgers play. But now thou always
(34:54):
landing next to a hog pen in Arkansas? Always always
that that we end up with a pig farmer on nightline. Well,
hell yeah, I think out outside that hit my ball
put his car up on blocks. It wasn't broke down.
(35:17):
Which one in front yards? That looked good? And all
of a sudden I heard this loud whiz and noise.
I tell my son, you by the pissing Amazellias. About
that time I looked up and I saw that UFO
lady right, Well see where all that grace is match down? Well, yeah,
(35:37):
that that's where my wife failed. That's why nobody believes
in UFOs because they've never had an intelligent eyewitness say
I had the theory about I believe this country, America
only has one official eyewitness. That's why I look familiar
and the using for everything, the using for UFOs. Then
(35:59):
I you a match Tornado and he's the one that
saw Elvis at Burger Key. It's the same paper, you know.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Good morning, Big shows on the radio, Thank everybody is here.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
On the James Gregory Tribute Show.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Appreciate reaction to James through the years. Man, right before
we get out of here, here we go roll out.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Well I got I got a late start in this business.
I didn't start comedy until I was in my mid thirties.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So so you worked.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I had normal jobs up until then. You know, my
first job out the high sky. I got my first
job when I was twelve years old. But cut, you
cut your grocery store kept that time. I was eighteen
and I was the first Gregory ever to get a
high school diploma, got his civil service job. All the
king folks was just I was something. Okay, I can't
(37:12):
this is the truth. Here's how they looked at the
high school diploma. I quit civil service and started selling
pots and pans on commission. Now, warm this cook? I
remember that back?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Remember that?
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah, so everybody thought that I just gone nuts door
to door. Yeah, oh yeah, that kind of seals. I
stayed in sales for a long time til I got
them this lot of work. But anyway, here's what I
Ain't Ruby said to my mama one time. She said,
my mama talking about wish I had to get up
civil service to go into sales. You know, Ain't Reb said,
well he might as welles. I don't know why he
(37:45):
messed with civil service. I spear. She said this, with
his education, he should have been a lawyer orself. It
was just it was just high school diploma. See even
civil services on that dawn date Ruperteah. We thought his
(38:06):
education he'd be a lawyer or something. But I tell
something else too about being in this business. Though it's
a higher standard that you can, folks hold you to.
There's so many young comedians that give up because the
families puts pressure on them. See you in this business,
you haven't made it, supposedly to a civilian, if they
(38:26):
haven't seen you your sitcom or something. I know comedians
making one hundred and fifty grand a year. And uh,
he's engaged and the fiance's mother is going, well, I
don't think he's ever gonna make it because see nobody
see him on TV. Well, who's your daughter engaged to? Well,
he's a comedian. What's his name? You know? Joe Blow?
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (38:50):
They him? Well, he keeps trying image one hundred and fifty
grand a year.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Now if he was a plumber, you know, Joe Blow,
he's a plumber. Well, plumbers make good money.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
But in this business, if you're not famous, you'll failure. Yeah,
I controller is that way. God rest is soul and
dead to the dead's gone. But and I can Trollie's
following years. Every month my dad would go pick up
Uncle Charlie, go get your so security check, cash, go
up to bank, pay his bills, and I'll can Charlie
say the same thing every month. Has Melvin that's my brother, Well,
(39:26):
Melvin's he's still plumbing. Yeah, my brother's a plumber. Has
Mayor Emma, that's my sister, she's still retired. Well, yeah, Charlie,
she'll always be retired. She's disabled. Did you never find
a job? And my damn saying, Charlie, he's got a job.
He's a comedian. I don't mean jokes, Devin, I mean
a drum every damn month, said, I don't mean jokes,
(39:50):
I mean a job.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
You know.
Speaker 9 (39:53):
So you know there's a lot of people that's working
right now that do not like their jobs.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Oh, I know, you know.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
And and really, well, I wonder what the percentages.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
I think it's a large plant. Well, none of us
like our job every single day. We don't have bad
And I think so much. I know people who tell
me of cousins, you know we have a death in
the family, they always show up, you know, we have
a death in family, you know, And because that's the
time I see them funeral, not every ten years ago.
And they said, yeah, I wouldn't buy being a comedian,
(40:23):
but I y'all work on services. If there's a sertergy involved,
healthy Dydra to live in a tent then to work
on service.
Speaker 9 (40:38):
Well, what advice would you give to people listen who
who know what their love is? How do you turn
what you like into your job?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I think what you have to be strong enough, not
do you have a rats ask what other people think,
and there's very few people that strong tav the truth. See,
there's some of your comedy clubs around that we kind
of think that comedy clubs have always been around. But
the first comedy club in the southeastern United States opening
in Alna in nineteen eighty two, they had never been
one in this part of the world to see a
(41:07):
comedian live. And but you are in la if possibly Chicago,
all right, so those guys open the club in Alna,
Georgia happened to be my home. I'd always enjoyed comedy
because you stay up late watching the Tonight Show, even
when I was in high school. Right, so we go
out there on the open mic night just to see
the comics because we enjoyed comedy. Then I had friends
who always thought I was funny. Won't you try to
(41:29):
open mic night? And that's how it happened. That's how
you start this. And I often wondered if that bush
Line had to open in eighty two and I had
been in Indiana for the past ten years in sales,
had come home, hung around Alna for a year, and
what would I be doing now if that hadn't happened?
Just you know what I mean, just fake. I did
what people did to a lot of people, especially the
(41:50):
people get too engrossed in what it says on a
business card or what it says on your door. You know,
to me, like Jeff Shaw is a comedian, we know
how include in Ohio. He dropped out of college to
pursue comedy. He's now When I see my friends that
when they hadn't got the degree, they all say the
same thing. Hello, Welcome to Applebee's.
