Help wrong inventor Wilbur Wright would have been one hundred
and thirty five. He was the older of the two
Right brothers. On December seventeenth, nineteen oh three, of ten
thirty five am Eastern time, the Right Brothers made the
first heavier than air flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Speaker 9 (05:50):
I told you it was going to work out.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Stupid Horville earned the honor becoming the first man to
fly after beating Wilburn a coin toss. Wilbur died ty Ford,
Fever and Dayton, Ohio, May thirtieth, nineteen twelve, at age
forty five. You know the bros were from Ohio, Ohio
bicycle shop. Yeah, and that's why Hio was saying, hey man,
we used to be first in flight because that's where
they were from. Well, they went down to the you know,

Speaker 7 (06:23):
There was a just and on the North Carolina license
place in case the folks listen, they don't know, it
says first in flight, not first.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
It said something else, and they had to go back
and oh, was.

Speaker 8 (06:33):
It first in freedom or something like that, because Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina was the first area in America to declare
their independence from England Mexlemburg Declaration of Independence.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
So there was some big guy huha about its flight. Yeah,
we meant to say flight.

Speaker 9 (06:48):

They'll give you a Swiss.

Speaker 5 (07:10):

Nineteen forty three, Swiss researcher chemist Albert Hoffman took the
first LSD trip as a tiny amount of lysurgic acid
dithyllam made actually really hurted up because accidentally seeped through
the skin of his finger. The potent drug was synthesized

(07:44):
in nineteen thirty eight by Hoffman, but its hallucinogenic effects
were unknown until this day in nineteen forty three, when
Halfman accidentally ingested LSD. Haffman wrote in his journal, is
this Abby Hoffman? It's now Albert Hoffman?

Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, this is the guy.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Just let this with it, Okay, he holds his interest.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Last Friday, April sixteenth, nineteen forty three, I was forced
to interrupt my work in the laboratory in the middle
of the afternoon and proceed home, being affected by a
remarkable restlessness combined with a slight dizziness. At home, I
lay down and sink into a not unpleasant intoxicated.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Like conditions drug in a.

extraordinary shapes with intense kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some
two hours, this condition faded away. Dude, where's my beaker?

I as little as twenty five micrograms of LSD equal
to a few grains of salt, is capable of producing
vivid hallucination, man, dude.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Remember I was quoted in the paper and saying I'm
tired of my friends. I need to find new friends
in summer, you know, so I don't want y'all take
that personal.

Speaker 8 (14:06):
I wish you would, now, why would they just because

Speaker 4 (14:12):

Speaker 8 (14:16):
He's turned around like Paul McCartney on the cover of

Killer's just my new best friend.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Congratulate. We're all going later.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
I guess your place somehow.

Speaker 9 (14:29):
I don't see that one working out.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
For some reason, y'all had my list of new friends.
You know, it's been working on. But you you say
he got a letter. I didn't think he usually responded
to letters.

Speaker 13 (14:38):
It was more of a no, there's this letter here, though,
I think it's it's one of those ones that kind
of jumps out at you and you have. I mean,
I'm just gonna read this then i'll summarize real quick.
But this guy is Johnny and Billy's new promotion director,
and I'm gonna just read some highlights out of the
letter and then i'll summarize it. This is regarding Richard
Petty's surprise party in Richmond, Virginia and the charity race.

(15:00):
Dear john Boy and Billy, I'm one of your crazy listeners,
as your office likes to call us that are incarcerated anyway,
no hard feelings, right, well, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Then there it goes on down I talks about his
girlfriend a little bit. Then he says, I happened to
be a Richard Petty die Hard fan. Well, I'm working
with my city of Richard, Virginia to throw Richard a
surprise party. Would you guys like to come?

Speaker 9 (15:22):
Now?

Speaker 13 (15:22):
You are invited, but you need to bring to grill
the meat, the grilling sauce, and you need to be
able to see the party. If there's anything else you
like to do, just you know, just let this guy know.
Everything's going pretty good right here. You know, everything seems
to be upbeat. And then he goes, I don't care
what you think about me, but Richard deserves a birthday
party on his birthday.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
So I hope Richard listening.

Speaker 13 (15:43):
And it says the charity race at seven point thirty
and as well, and we'll be on the big screen.
So during the commercial, you and Billy need to do
some jokes or something. I don't think it'd be a problem.
And then he tells us all about this planning for
the race so way winning a billion dollars just down
at the bottom, and it says he gets to Impress
of m warned to sign his petition for pardon, and
Juny Donald Levy allows him to fill the Winston Cup

(16:05):
f and a bush team out of his shop for
a franchise fee. Now this is page three. As Spanky said,
something happened right here. The guy snaps, he gets hot
as a match right here. Okay, it says, See, guys,
I'm really nuts. No, I'm so crazy. I pleaded not
guilty to a crime I didn't commit. Don't sure I
understand that one is not guilty to a crime.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
That okay, it says.

Speaker 13 (16:30):
And now he doesn't care if y'all come or not,
because he's got enough entertainment and he just thought he'd
show you guys up since y'all think your blank don't stink.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Uh huh.

Speaker 13 (16:41):
And it says, if it wasn't, if it wasn't for
a party for Richard, he tell you both the blank off.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And now he's really hot right here, you know.

Speaker 13 (16:51):
And it says, but Richard's been his driver a lot
longer than he's listened.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
To your crazy progress.

Speaker 13 (16:58):
Now I'm gonna summarize this worried about ten little bits.
Soon the guy starts out. He admits he's crazy right
off the bat.

Speaker 9 (17:04):
Thanks.

Speaker 13 (17:04):
His girlfriend's in jail, but he's not sure he's a
Richard Petty die Hard does a great party for Richard's birthday,
got some great racing ideas. It sounds like a demolition derby,
gets the governor to pardoning. It becomes a Westay Cup
and a bush driver all at the same time. Snaps
on page three, turns angry. He gets hot as a
mat doesn't want you to come. But if Richard's party

(17:26):
and Johnny y'all be good together, y'all need to pull
yourself together.

Going North Caklaki, North Cadlak.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Good morning, to make show us on the radio, John.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Bond, Billy Randy, all right, hey, let me tell you
y'all a little story here. There's some Tom Griz had
done in Dublin. Georgia said, we might think this was funny.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
Is it a sad story? I said, I'm trying to
pick music up.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
No, no, it's a story from his youth.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
We'll just just figured it out.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I'll started hot, sweaty and covered with tobacco tar, we
had music. We had cropped all day long. My cousin
and I had jumped into his sixty two beetle and
run to Boone Saloon to do what most seventeen year
old tobacco croppers do in Coffee County after a twelve
hour day in the field, we were bent on getting
some beer. Well, knowing Homer's reputation, in the fact, we

(28:37):
were kN and knew a lot more about Homer than
he would care for us to getting beer was not
that much of a problem. This was back in nineteen
seventy three. We had left the social club and taken
Highway four forty one toward Pridgin when my cousin decided
the road worthiness of his v W should be challenged
at that time, we decided to take one seventeen dirt

(28:57):
at that time back home. We'd been on the dird
for about five minutes when we spotted a buzzard up
ahead in the middle of the road. I only had
a minute when I knew what my cousin had already decided.
Going back for a second, I'd liked to remind and
enlighten you on our vehicle of choice. A nineteen sixty
two VW beetle good tires, eight ball shifter handle, black
semi leatherette seats, bent steering will and rust all the

(29:20):
way around each window, one lonely headlight, one running board,
bottomless dash, and a wiper that could be shared.

Speaker 9 (29:26):
Do he eat people?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
When I realized that the buzzard was a target for
the VW, it was too late to do anything except
go along with it. My cousin shifted hard into third gear,
and that little motor went to screaming as we approached
what we estimated to be thirty miles per hour. Speedometer
didn't work. By the time he went to fourth, we
had made all preparations for impact. We had covered every

(29:49):
possible strategy that might occur, all of them except one.
Within striking distance. The great bird turned, looked us straight
in the face, and flapped his huge wings one and
we were on him. Cublam Boy or bird did not
expect what happened next. With one motion of his wings,
he had managed to place his body in line with

(30:10):
our windshield. We hit hard. As I looked out, I
saw the windshield fold up around the bird and fly
past us into the rear of the car. Through a
hail of broken glass and extremely rusty VW parts.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Wooo.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
My cousin brought the heap to a stop on the
side of the dirt road after about two seconds of
solid screaming. We were asking each other. We were asking
each other if we were okay, whoa, We were lucky
not to get hurt. But hey, that poor, unfortunate, innocent bird,

(30:47):
we thought, as we heard a noise in the back
seat that sounded like the rolling away of a mighty
stone and slow motion. When we turned around with our
mouths open and eyes wide, I could feel those things
tightened that you always hear older folks talk about. We
were now about eight inches away from the biggest, ugliest,
and apparently maddest bird I had ever seen. I tried

(31:13):
to scream, but all that came out was ip ip.
Now we realize this bird ain't hurt real bad, and
it's probably tougher than any animal we have ever treed.
It was at this moment in time decisions had to
be made quickly. As it became apparent what our decision was,

(31:33):
the great bird leaned forward into the front as if
he were on the attack, and spewed the most horrid
smelling and feeling white liquid from his mouth that I
had ever witnessed. We were covered before we could get
the doors open. Suddenly our screams were audible. Out of

(31:57):
the car and now it a dead, barefooted run. He
made way for a large sycamore tree on the side
of the road. Dry heaves, dry heaves, and all yes.
At this time the situation is looking grim. Has bound
happens sooner or later. We were covered in something that
seems to be on the verge of removing upper levels

(32:18):
of skin with no water or anything to get it off.
Results to teenagers on the ground rolling like dogs in
the dirt after a bath didn't help. Now we're covered
with dirt filled buzzard vomit. Now a young man whippers,
why didn't you stop me?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Stop you?

Speaker 4 (32:37):
You're crazy?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
You knew when you shifted there was no going back.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Well, after a little more arguing in a scuffle to
the side who was getting the bird out, the buzzard
stumbled from the VW boy who were shocked as they
slowly made steps toward us. Next situation, panic stricken teenage
boys as we frantically look for an escape. The bird
turned and slowly flew off with no apparent injury. The

(33:08):
trip home was slow and quiet, with an occasional gag
or heave from the odor in the car. We bathed
in the barn after a good whipping from my uncle,
not because of the beer or the bird, but for
going to Boon saloon.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Thank you, Tom. Her story from your.

Speaker 19 (33:29):
Youth Mom says they're the black sheep of the family.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Good morning to make shows on a red Uh, let's
stay here. Yeah, there's prom season, y'all talk about the
prom themes, pillars, You remember your prom theme?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (34:11):
All the rest of my friends were going, so I
took a girl I didn't really care if I went with,
and the rest of it just hung out, parted around
all prom night, making fun of the losers dancing.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
And it was miserable.

Speaker 20 (34:25):
I got my payback and I ran out of gas
on the way home, legitimately, and she hitched a ride
with somebody else.

Oh good time.
