About the Wednesday show
We were recording and the phone was ringing off the hook
Call from Walzer A
So this is Wednesday's show
Yeah, it was your sister calling
Brother-in-law lost his job
And the three mother hens showed up at his house
I did not envy him at all
It is getting more and more crowded in this boat
Your mom told you that you need to take care of this
I couldn't think of a more depressing situation
I wouldn't have come home
I would have went out at 8 am and got a beer
Where? This isn't Milwaukee
I would have waited that shit out
You are telling me that I am a born leader
I was telling myself that I glad you all weren't here
This is how it goes down in my dysfunctional family
My entire life I have had to be the man
What?
You shoveled in the middle in a snow storm
You can't even tell you shoveled
Doing it repeatedly doesn't make sense
At 4:30 am our neighbor fired up his snow blower
Ridiculous
Some men wake up with motivation, Kris
What would you do if it were a chainsaw?
Then he started cutting down trees
Well, hell he was motivated
Oh, baby
I tossed pup pup in a snowbank
What for?
To send to the TV station
Are you serious?
Well, I did send it
The auto response email was "Thanks for sending to KABC 7 Los Angeles"
Your snowy dog will be on in LA
You dogs suck
Jorge would be restricted to humane society
Ass end up in a garbage can
That is what we should have called the Resale Queen show
Yesterday, I almost slipped and died
Good things that dumpsters are heavy
How come they don't shovel by them?
I am going to open Dumpster Land
A theme park for you and your people
The dangers that you face everyday
It can't be packing peanuts
There is no Calvin pissing on nothing
What stickers would the truck have?
Did the new trucks ever roll out to La Moille?
I though i shouldn't ask because it would be sad
There was a time that they did come out
No one can tie a knot in this town
Ending up in the county jail
Swanson's baby
Onions in the peas
They came to town for Buffalo Days
The quaint small town festivals in movies, lies
There's no tax base to support that
Basketball game in a gravel pit
I grew up across from a buffalo pasture
Did you ride buffalo instead of ponies?
Did they chain them to a claw foot tub to slow them down?
From kindergarten to graduation at 14
Let me run the tilt-a-whirl
I would be right there
Ending up with a corn cob in his bibs
Might be dangerous but in a small town that's fun
Being pulled on sled behind cars
Watching the console in a lawn chair
I have sat in the back of a Chevy and bounced across fields
We didn't do donuts in a Wal Mart parking lot
It was a small town
Ok, K-Mart
That would have been a 30 mile commute
I know you rode in the back of a pickup truck on the way to a K-Mart
Yes, I did
CB radios in those days, figuring out who the coffee drinker was
Your mom would have a handle

You guys are describing every little town that I grew up in... the single stop light, the old school house, the 30 minute drive to go to BURGER KING, riding in the pickup truck to go to the local 'swimming hole' (literally referred to as 'alligator lake'), mud boggin' as family entertainment, etc. Hilarious. Sad, but hilarious.

GAAAAAAAAAAH! a whole weekend with out knowing who the MYSTERY COFFEE DRINKER WAS!!! And really? CB radios? You guys are only a year or two older than me, and CB radios were the domain of grandpas when I was in high school. Small town indeed!
also, Betsy? When you're digging around in dumpsters, do you ever worry that the situation is going to go all Law & Order on you, and you'll lift up something promising only to find a human foot underneath?

OMG! I just read the news about some shooting outside of Chicago at a strip mall. I sincerely hope that town is nowhere near you guys and that Betsey is safe & happy. I really enjoy listening to ALL of your shows & have been listening for about 6mos. or more. I am saddened at the news that the final Croncast is coming up in a couple months but I have already subscribed to Resale Queen because I need all the help and advice I can get when I am at home on the OBX of NC. We are in Costa Rica now for 2mos and I am struggling w/ this 'DIAL UP' thing!! Hey Kris, maybe thats an idea for a job, you could come to the tropics & get these people up to speed in technology!
:) Pura Vida!

This show was great, your stories are the best Kris! In rural Minnesota we learned how to drive on the frozen lakes, doing wheelies. They always said to keep your window rolled down an inch in case you fell through the ice. Every spring a pastime was watching the tow trucks pull the cars out that fell through!
We also hooked up to trucks for a pull but on our silver roller skates the you put on your converse high tops. Sometimes we got pulled to the Dairy Queen..I am older than you guys but we still have the same memories. Must have been a 70's time warp!!
