SPEAKER_00 0:06

And ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages, it is time now for This Town Rocks. Yay! Of course, uh the uh obligatory planning of the This Town Rocks national anthem.

SPEAKER_03 0:17

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

There it is, Pam Greer. Heading up the uh the wall there in the studio. That's right. Hey, uh, this is uh This Town Rocks. Uh thanks for tuning in. Uh, we have got a great show planned for you folks today.

SPEAKER_04 0:30

It's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

Kurt Towns in the house. Yay! Freddie Oka's here. Hello. Fresh off the dad jokes. We had to fight the crowd off. They wanted to haul them out of here.

SPEAKER_01 0:41

When Kurt introduces us kids, he's talking about me and Kurt.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 0:48

This is Mike Sella, and it is a pleasure as always to uh have you here with us uh Fridays at noon and 9 p.m., Saturday and Sundays at 7. Get an hour of uh just joyful This is the Town Rocks group here. That's right. Hey, uh one of the things that we want to talk about is that uh Freddie trying to take over the uh Spielberg routine. That was amazing! He did a did a like a It was great. Yeah, like uh what would you call that?

SPEAKER_01 1:14

Truly and I loved it. Uh I don't know. Just a cheesy video. It was a video. It was awesome.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

It was perfect. And it was all about uh you know taking off on the Star Wars day that it was May the 4th, maybe with you.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

That's right. That's right. It's an important day. Uh they started that in 79, but then it kind of took off when Disney took over. But uh, you know, Star Wars is not just like a movie to me or in my family. We I I went to those movies every every premiere, we my dad took us to those movies, so and then my mom would go with us. And so every time there was a premiere, me and my dad watched the midnight show. So that's a special thing for me, and I've we've passed it on to our kids and the grandkids like it now. So I just think you know, people, oh Star Wars is is so unrealistic. I'm like, yeah, but it's a fun thing, and uh it's more of a family thing for me to like a family tradition. So May the 4th is is uh I try to celebrate it with just love and fa and and fun with it and kind of get everybody else into it that that it's into it. If you're not into it, you're not into it, but you know, it's just one of those things I love. Uh I think it comes from my my you know upbringing uh with the love of uh Star Wars for my family.

SPEAKER_04 2:23

Well, I tell you, I remember my cousin Joey and I uh our aunt took us, and so we saw the original Star Wars in St. Augustine right there in the in the the downtown area. They had a a theater and they had a little TV that was playing the movie, but there was no sound. And so we were all standing in line for this new movie that none of us knew about, and uh and we were just looking at that television and the wall, and we're like, what is that? And then we go in there and the intro starts and my cousin Joey and I looked at each other and our Aunt Mary, and it was over. From that point on, I begged my mom and dad to take me to every Fox Drive-in movie, everything. My mom's like, I've already seen it like 27 times. I'm like, there's always 28.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

It's great.

SPEAKER_01 3:13

When you're talking about that, so it's so cool. I like I can remember I saw Empire Strikes Back in Virginia with my cousins. I know what theater it was and all that. I saw the Return of the Jedi with my grandparents and my parents and my brother and sister. We were at Orange Park Mall the first night. I was there. First night. I was there, and it was a line. So we try to go to the 7 o'clock show, we ended up watching the 10:30 show because you could not get tickets. So, and then when they finally came out with um Phantom Menace in 99, me and my dad saw the Midnight showing at Lichfield, and it continued from Lichfield up to the next couple shows there. But uh just it's just one of those things.

SPEAKER_04 3:50

We took our son and then we took our daughter when it was later on, and it was great, man. It was fantastic to do that. That was great.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

You know, but we walked in there not understanding Star Wars, and we walked out of there Star Wars freaks, you know, crossed so many barriers in terms of uh movie making and all that kind of stuff that uh it pretty much did have something for everybody in the in the movies. So if you're a sci-fi fan or if you know uh the biggest uh uh uh the hurdle that it probably had was you had the your your Star Trek people as opposed to the the Star Wars people, you know, a lot of them in the beginning were like, Oh, that's you know, that's ridiculous. Uh Star Wars is uh you know this and Star Trek is that, and so it's like forget it. It's all about space and you know, aliens uh flying all over the place.

SPEAKER_04 4:33

So it's cool because it was independent, yeah. And and it was rejected.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

And so that the rebel in me is like, yeah, you stick it to the man. Well, I can I can tell you this. Like, I remember going to see number seven, and my mom and dad, this is when they were alive. We were at we were in the handicapped section because she has to have a certain seating, whatever, and she can walk everything. But when uh Han Solo got stabbed by uh the dad uh the son, she stood up. She stood up, she was like, no, and I looked at her, I'm like, that is awesome. That is awesome. And I was upset too, but she stood up because she loves Han Solo and she loves Chewbacca. So I just I just it's not just me, it's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00 5:12

Oh, no question about it. All right, so we'll uh talk a little bit more about uh Star Wars and may the fourth be with you. Gotta figure out how to get that video on our uh website. That'd be great.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

I sent it to uh Oh, we sent it to Hillary? Hillary, yes.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

Okay, great, yeah, that'll be cool, cool. Uh and we also have uh uh pranks that maybe we have plied with and and uh and uh you know either got away with it or maybe didn't, so we'll talk about that.

SPEAKER_04 5:35

The statutory limits are probably over by now.

SPEAKER_00 5:37

Yeah. Statutory limits are as fast as you can run in some cases. All right. And then of course uh we are uh uh contemplating maybe starting a national uh TTR Day.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

I like the way you think. We're gonna talk about uh all of these national days.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

You know, you you just in the past uh week, you had the uh Star Wars Day, and then we got uh Cinco de Mayo, and then they have uh National Nurses Day, uh National Tourism Day, National No Sox Day, National Hermit Day. How did all these get started? Hermit Day, what is that? That's what I've always said. How can it be a National Hermit Day? Is he in the is he in the cave with Wi-Fi, or what is that? How did he get that started?

SPEAKER_01 6:15

Some weird kid in the basement that never comes out of the house? Yeah. So couldn't be described. By the way, he might just pointed at me in the current.

SPEAKER_00 6:27

You're so pasty, Freddie. Yeah. All right. We're gonna take a timeout here. We're way over time, but uh, we're back with more coming up here on uh This Town Rocks on Clay Radio right after this. And we're back after listening to the cure. Always a nice start to the uh first segment of the program here on uh Clay Radio. It is This Town Rocks, Mike Seller with uh Kurt Town and Freddie Oka coming to you today with all kinds of thoughts. And we're gonna get into those thoughts as we move through the uh the uh morning or afternoon or evening, whatever you might be watching the uh the program. Uh but uh so at some point we're gonna talk about how you can get a national day named after you.

SPEAKER_04 7:07

Can't wait.

SPEAKER_00 7:07

And that'll be fun. Maybe we have a little contest out of that. But in the meantime, uh you know, pranks are always good. If you're the one that's pulling the prank, right?

SPEAKER_04 7:19

So they say.

SPEAKER_00 7:21

So uh I thought we'd talk about pranks here for the the first portion of the program and uh find out from uh uh you gentlemen if you had a prank that you pulled on somebody that was pretty good that maybe somebody else could do down the line. Now remember, the National Organization of Pranks says that you know you gotta make sure they're safe. You don't want to endanger anybody, right? You don't want uh to permanently damage anything. Oh man. And and you want to keep it reversible if possible.

SPEAKER_04 7:50

Reversible? I think I need to tell her with my roommates then.

SPEAKER_00 7:55

So anyway, but go ahead, uh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:01

I got one. Uh okay, so uh my I had I had roommates, okay. So anyway, so uh my my roommates Bill and Joe. So so what happened was uh Joe was kind of like uh you know squeaky clean, everything, you know, pristine, and you know, everything had to be perfect in every way. And Joe's a wonderful person. And so anyway, Bill was kind of like the polar opposite. So Bill was like, you know, uh he he was the messy guy and all this.

SPEAKER_00 8:36

So wait a minute, I think I saw this on TV. Was this the odd couple?

SPEAKER_04 8:39

Yes, it was very much so. So I was the roommate, we're all musicians, and I was the one who was usually gone touring or whatever and doing all that stuff. So oh, I got a couple, okay. So one, uh one of the one of the I got two, I gotta tell, it's a twofer. So, so Bill uh said, Hey man, we can pull a prank on Joe. And so, needless to say, when I met one of Joe's girlfriends one day and I said, Hey, you know, my name is Kurt, she said, Oh I know all about you. So anyway, so I was like, huh? So anyway, uh so Bill says to me, he goes, Hey, uh you know, Joe, he likes everything from darkest to lightest in his closet or whatever, and his CDs are all A to Z and all this stuff, and he completely freaks out if you mess with anything. Why, you know, I don't ever go into anybody else's room or any of that stuff. So he was like, you know, we meaning you should get Joe, you know, because you know, he'll beat me up, but he won't beat you up. And I'm like, all right, sounds great, right? What could go wrong? So what I decided to do, I decided to go for it all at one time. And he would never have suspected me of doing anything like this, because A, I'm usually never home, and B, I'm usually quiet and I I leave and that's it, you know, no big deal. So anyway, I'm kind of in the middle of the two guys, not too messy and not too clean, but you know, just doing it. So anyway, so I decided, well, what can we do? But not mess up his stuff. So I just took all he liked, for instance, he liked his jeans all from darkest to lightest or whatever, so I just reversed everything, right? He likes the C D's, everything A to Z, so I made them Z to A. But wait, there's more. I didn't want to mess with his drawers, so what I did is I took them and just moved them into different places without touching anything. So like his socks were up top, you know, now they're at the bottom, all this. So I short sheeted his bed, you know, because you can't just let one thing roll, you gotta let several things roll. Oh, but it's so much better. Those are all just like eh, right? Easily reversible. Those are the appetizers, right? So I knew that he had to get up at five o'clock every morning, and he would get really mad at Bill and I because like, well, you guys just go and play music and you wake up whenever you want to, and you know, like, I want to go to Disney World. Let's just go to Disney World. Like, I hate you guys because he ran a successful window tinting business and he had to be there every day. But you know, being the slackers that we were, being professional musicians and all, we were like, well, you know, we'll get up eventually, kind of deal. And so I knew he had to be up at 5 a.m. So what any good friend would do is I put I short sheeted his bed, right? Of course, he's gonna be like, Where's all my stuff? What I'm running late, I gotta be there at five o'clock. What are you doing? Right? I put Vaseline on the door handle on the inside of his bedroom door because I knew he would just push the door shut. So I short sheeted his bed. So when he goes to bed, he's like, What is all this? Right? He gets up in the morning and uses the restroom, you know, to get the shower and everything. I put Vaseline on the inside of his bedroom door, but then I put it on the inside of the bathroom door. So when he goes in here all mad, right? He's gonna be like, No, no, no, trying not to wake anybody up because he is still courteous, right?

SPEAKER_00 12:17

So I mean despite the prank string, he's still courtesy.

SPEAKER_04 12:22

So then he goes in there, he takes a shower, he's all that, and it's gotta be over with now, right? But then he gets to go out of the bathroom to get more Vaseline, right? So now he's gotta wash his hands again, he's probably flipping out, and he's like, I gotta get to work. I mean, right? So I thought about putting it on the inside doorknob on the on you know the house front door, but I thought, no, that's a little bit too he's gonna suspect that. So he'll be like looking for that to happen. So I can't do that. So what I did is I put Vaseline in the door handle of his van. And wait, and I knew, I knew that when he went to go in reverse with the morning dew of the morning, I took soap, you know, bar soap, and put a smiley face so when he looked out there everywhere, he would see the smiley face.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

The smiley face is good. That was a nice touch.

SPEAKER_04 13:18

Yeah, well, you know, I want him to have a nice day. Anyway.

SPEAKER_00 13:23

Have a smiley day.

SPEAKER_04 13:24

Bill was like, I'm locking my bedroom door because I know he's gonna kill us. He's gonna kill us, he's gonna kill me because he'll think it's me. I'm like, well, that's okay. You're you're a willing sacrifice. It'll be fine if he kills you. He'll never suspect me. Right. So, anyway, so he went through all that. He didn't talk to me for weeks, right? He didn't talk to me for weeks. So that was infamous, without question. That was infamous. However, I would go on tour, right? And I would say, look, man, I I'd come back, you know, a week or two or whatever. And like, oh you know, you guys are gonna eat all my food. Stop eating all my food, just leave my food alone, right? And I would get home and it would be, you know, all hours of the morning, sometimes three o'clock in the morning, whatever I'd get home from doing shows locally, on the road, whatever. And all I wanted was something to eat. Well, of course, there's nothing to eat. You have three bachelors, right? So there's nothing to eat. So I go home, this is honestly God, a true story. My mom's listening, she's laughing her butt off right now. I come home and there's just a little bit of milk left. And I can't smell, right? I don't I I'm not able to smell. So there's a little bit of milk left. It's kind of dim lit in there, you know, with a little oven light and chocolate milk. I'm like, well, I'll just eat, I I'll drink some chocolate milk. That'll fill me up if I go to bed, right? And I had just enough for one glass. So I'm looking at it, it kind of, this true story, it kind of looked at a little green tint to it. I smelt it, I'm like, well, I can't smell it. It smells fine, it smells like air, right? So I look at it and I'm like, ah, you know, it's a little green, no big deal. So I put chocolate milk in. Well, the chocolate milk had expired. Nestle's quick. It expired. So it was kind of clumpy. And I thought, well, I was like, it can't be that bad. I mean, it's chocolate milk. So I stirred it in.

SPEAKER_00 15:18

Oh, good. Well, you broke up the clumps.

SPEAKER_04 15:20

Well, it clumped right back up. You're chewing it now. I'm like, I'm like, maybe I should stir more. So I stirred it really, really fast and it clumped back up. And I thought, how bad could it be? Right? I mean, it's chocolate milk, right? A little green. Chocolate milk would make up for it. So I stirred it up real quick and power drank it. Oh, yes. Yes. I was fine for about a little bit. And then I was so sick. I mean, I was so crazy sick that Joe and Bill called my mom and asked if she could come take care of me because I was so sick. I find it disturbing. There's my chocolate milk store. You're welcome. I find it the prank's on me. I'm so disturbed. I'm not gonna have a lunch now.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

You took a chance on green milk.

SPEAKER_04 16:13

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

Hey, man, don't haven't you ever when he got to the clumping and it re-clumped itself several times.

SPEAKER_04 16:24

Wait, I'm not a quitter.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

So green milk and chunky chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_04 16:29

But technically, it wasn't very green. It was slightly green. I couldn't smell it.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

It's not St. Patrick's Day, man.

SPEAKER_04 16:36

I couldn't smell it.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

Hey, there's no It couldn't have been that bad. There's no clumping chocolate milk and rock music.

SPEAKER_04 16:44

Hey, look, I'm not a quitter.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

I don't know how you did it, man.

SPEAKER_04 16:48

It's a true story. So wait a minute, I have to finish the story.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

Well, I'm green now.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

So so I came home after all of that, right? I came home several weeks later, right? And I'm like, I'm like, Daggum it, y'all ate all my food again, drank all my milk. I got just a little bit of milk in there. However, there was vanilla ice, a little bit of vanilla ice cream in the freezer. So they're not paying any attention to me, so I decided to probably joke on them. So what I did is I put some vanilla ice cream in the milk and I sloshed it around. I went in there like, y'all drank all my milk. So I sloshed it around in the milk container, right? I'm like, Dad gummit, I'm hungry and y'all, I don't even got any milk. And I sloshed around, so there's clumps of vanilla ice cream in this milk. And they, of course, survived my other milk experience. So I just drank it, right? Yeah, poured it in a glass, looked all clumpy, and I drank it. Joe flew out of the living room, going, right as fast as he could. Bill was like, Oh my god, I can't believe you're drinking that. He goes running out of the room, and I enjoyed some vanilla milk and and uh vanilla ice cream and milk. It was a shake. It was great.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

I'm trying to get past the break.

SPEAKER_04 18:02

Those are pranks, buddy. I'm still trying to get past the breed milk, dude.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Yeah, I'm I'm I'm feeling a little uh green around the giggles here.

SPEAKER_04 18:10

I can tell you, it was an exciting time.

SPEAKER_00 18:12

Yeah, I'm sure it was. Well, you deserved it after that prank you pulled on what's his name there.

SPEAKER_04 18:17

So God bless America.

SPEAKER_00 18:20

Well, we we went right through the whole the whole segment with that story, and so we'll give you a couple of minutes to just recoup.

SPEAKER_04 18:26

Go get you some chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

Yeah, get you some chocolate milk while you're listening to the program, you'll be in good shape. All right. Uh we'll hear from Freddie coming up uh next here as uh we continue uh with uh some pranks, and also uh we're gonna tell you how to find out and establish your own national days. National Day observance. Uh we'll tell you about that coming up next year. Uh This Town Rocks continues here on Clay Radio. And This Town Rocks is the name of the show, and uh we uh certainly welcome you here. Kurt Town is here, Freddie Oka is here, me, Mike Sellon. I'm half here. Half somewhere else. The other half is somewhere else. I'm not really sure. Well, we we heard a very much detailed story of uh the cranking and the revenge. Revenge of the chocolate milk, we'll call it. And uh Freddie, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna skip lunch today. Yeah. I just can't get past it, man. The green milk I can't get past.

SPEAKER_04 19:18

It is awesome.

SPEAKER_00 19:19

Yeah, I just can't, you know. Here he is, he's swirling up the chunks in the in the chocolate milk. And he uh gladly uh swallowed it down. My goodness. All right. Well, you have a you have a quick prank joke here or a prank that you've pulled on somebody that you're pretty proud of?

SPEAKER_01 19:36

Well, I got a couple, but it's not as it's not as aggressive as as uh Kurt's here. Aggressive. There's uh there's a there's a Wendy's that I like to go to because they always have like these uh job applications. And I have a lot of emails that are my friends that are you know they're the same age as me, so they're established in their in their work environment. But I I fill out when I go there and I have about an hour of lunch, I go there and fill out about five of the applications and put their email on and their phone numbers. Oh no. And so Danny and uh Zach Newman, if you're out there, the you guys listen to the show, you're getting you get phone calls from Wendy's about once a month. Because I do it every month. And I still do it to this day because I feel I think it's hilarious. And so Danny, Danny called me, he goes, he goes, dude, you gotta quit putting my name down for a Wendy's Wendy's job application. I said, How'd you know it was me? He goes, I only know one person that would do it, and that's you. So you're correct, sir.

SPEAKER_04 20:31

So you're a legend, man. You're my hero.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

The best prank, though, uh, Danny did this, and I I didn't know about it until it was published. But so um years ago when they were switching over uh the Jackson DeVille character, they were getting somebody else to do the job. Well, Danny submits a resume with Zach's name on it, saying that he was the mascot for Ed White, the commanders. Right. So he had like a resume, oh yeah, he was a mascot for Ed White after he graduated. He was there four years doing the mascot stuff. Usually the high school kids do all this. So, and then he's showing that he's at FCC J. He's like a fifth-year senior at FCC J or whatever. So he's making fun of him his whole college career, right? Because he still hadn't graduated yet at this point. So I think he graduates when he's 38 or 39, and then submits a picture of Zach when he's in high school. So they submit it to the Times Union. The Times Union on the front page has Zach Newman's bio saying that he's good at doing backflips and jumping off stuff, and it's got his picture on the front page of the Times Union. And so he posted, I said, This is the greatest prank I've ever seen. That's great. And to this day, we always talk about it. We go hang out and stuff. I'm like, bro, how did you get that to go through? And it went through, and they believed everything that uh Danny had put in there about Zach.

SPEAKER_03 21:51

That is genius, it's unbelievable. That's very funny.

SPEAKER_01 21:55

Greatest prank I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

That is hysterical.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

He was a he was a he was at the high school doing the mascot stuff four years after he graduated. That's a weird end of itself right there. So he has experience.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

Yeah, you got four years of professional experience. Yeah, experience in the high school.

SPEAKER_03 22:14

Oh my god, that's great.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

Well, when when we were in college, it was uh an opportunity to uh to uh prank somebody that you didn't even know, and then uh the ramifications would be seen down the down the line. So what would happen is like the uh Times Life Company would put out like a uh a book of the book club of the month or something, and we would sign the kids up for uh the other students. We'd sign them up to get a subscription to the book of the month club. And so they'd get the first one for free, right? And then the second would hit with the bill.

SPEAKER_03 22:45

Oh my god!

SPEAKER_00 22:46

And it would be like, you know, start, you get eleven books in you know, five months or whatever it was, and then you and it costs you one penny. And then after that, then the regular price of the books would kick in, and it was pretty expensive. And so you'd see these guys, they'd be standing in the hallway explaining the situation. I got this book and I didn't order it, and now they're looking for money. What am I supposed to do? And they're telling some bills. Uh I was bad. College's life was was great, huh?

SPEAKER_04 23:13

That's great.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

Here's a good joke. I I and I thought this was it's pretty pretty simple and it's it's uh you know pretty harmless, but it says to uh put up a sign like next to anything that's electronic, like a light or whatever, and have the uh have the sign say now voice controlled.

unknown 23:33

I love it.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Right? I think that would be hysterical.

SPEAKER_01 23:36

If you videoed it even better, yeah. Um so you might know this. Oh, that's awesome. Have you been to Ripley's Believe It or Not before? Oh man, I have a Ripley story, yeah. Mike, have you done Ripley's in St. Augustine? What about the two-way mirror? Oh, that is hysterical. You do the tongue and you're like making all these and then the other side, people are just watching you crack it up, and you're like, Why don't I hear all these laughing noises? And you go to the other side there, you feel like a complete idiot.

SPEAKER_04 24:02

Hilarious. I have to tell you this, I have to tell you this. So Truly and I went to Ripley's, believe it or not, in St. Augustine. So you get up to where they're they're taking the pictures and all this stuff, right? And it says, go this way, go this way, go this way. Well, it points to a door. And you go through the door, and it's an exit sign. Right? And so Truly and I are like, it can't be over that fast, right? So we're like looking around, we're like, it can't be right, you know, both of us are blind. And so we're like looking around. She's gonna be like, I can't believe you told that story. So we go in there, we go in there, we're looking around, we come back out, and we look around, we go back in, and we're like, well, I guess that was it, right? So we go through the exit and we come out and we go outside, and then there's an an exit exit, which is the gift shop. We're like, well, we didn't even get to the gift shop. We paid full price and only went through half of Ripley's, believe it or not, and nobody said a word to us as we were going out through there, and they were and they just looked at us weird, and so then we made a vow. We're gonna go back to Ripley's and we're gonna go all the way through this time. And so we actually missed half of Ripley's by being two blondes, and we and we read the sign that said this way.

SPEAKER_00 25:22

You guys really need to stay out of St. Augustine.

SPEAKER_04 25:24

Oh, it's great.

SPEAKER_00 25:25

Between that one and have you heard the uh Jesus story? Oh, it's great. We gotta get Truly to come in and tell us. She tells it, it is great. So we're gonna have to do that, getting her in to tell that story. You can tell Freddie Austin. I got a St.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

Augustine story too, but we'll tell it later to you.

SPEAKER_00 25:40

Okay. Yeah, maybe we should have a whole St. Augustine. Oh, that'd be great. That'd be funny. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:44

But uh I was gonna ask you, so you guys get emails all the time. Have you ever seen those who's who's of America, whatever? Yep. Someone got me on those.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

No, no, kidding.

SPEAKER_01 25:55

You can just you can unsubscribe for it, it doesn't matter. My buddy signed me up, and I'll to this day I still get them, and that's from like 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

So annoying.

SPEAKER_03 26:14

SPEAKER_04 26:16

As long as you as long as you have that email, it's gonna continue to send it to you. See, see, that's the gift it keeps on giving, Frank. It is funny though.

SPEAKER_00 26:24

But hopefully, uh, if you pull a prank prank, it's gonna be, you know, benign, not not uh too bad. You're not gonna lose friendships over it or whatever. Uh but uh funny stuff on uh pranks. But we got good stuff here. We got good stuff. We got good stuff. We got uh um how to register to get your own national day. Right now, let me let me just go through some of the days. Where's my my sheet with all the days on it here? Oh, here it is. Okay. So uh this week alone, earlier in the week, we had Star Wars Day.

SPEAKER_04 26:55

Yes, May the May the Fourth Be With You.

SPEAKER_00 26:57

Some people are calling it now uh May the Fourth Be With You Day. That also happened to be uh uh sort of a somber note too was National Firefighters Memorial Day.

SPEAKER_04 27:05

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Then uh on uh Tuesday, I believe it was Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo Right, and then uh it was also National Appreciation uh Teacher Appreciation Day and also uh National Astronaut Day. Ooh, that's cool. So that sort of went with the uh the Star Wars thing. Then we had National Nurses Day on uh Wednesday and uh National Great American Grump Out Day.

SPEAKER_04 27:26

What?

SPEAKER_00 27:27

Grumpout Grump Out.

SPEAKER_04 27:28

Like the grumpy old men thing. I guess.

SPEAKER_00 27:30

Yeah, you could just be grumpy that day. I don't have to change it all then. That's my day. Get off my lawn, get off my lawn. And then uh let's see, uh National Police Memorial Day coming up uh was Thursday. Uh National Tourism Day, also National Homebrew Day. Ooh, homebrew. Yeah, we can see that. Um, and then uh on Friday today, uh it's National No Socks Day, National Have a Coca-Cola Day. Oh man! And uh or how about National Give Someone a Cupcake Day?

SPEAKER_01 28:01

Oh, that's a good day.

SPEAKER_00 28:02

So there you go. And and one more, I wanted to make sure we got this in there. National Military Spouse Day.

SPEAKER_04 28:06

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_00 28:07

Right, because that we we do have to show our military spouses uh a lot of appreciation for what they go through.

SPEAKER_04 28:13

So so we can we can apply?

SPEAKER_00 28:15

We can apply, and I'll tell you how that all works, and then maybe we'll come up with a couple of uh days that uh you might be interested in. So yeah, we're just going. I like it. I like it. Put that thinking cap on. Uh and the folks uh listening in too should also do that, and they can drop us a line at uh clay radio online at gmail.com. Tell us what kind of national day of observance you'd like to see.

SPEAKER_04 28:37

That would be cool.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

That would be cool, right? So uh please please do that. Once again, uh it is clay radio online at gmail.com. We'll tell you how to get the national day and sample a couple of days ourselves, see if that goes over with everybody. All right, so that's the way it works here on uh This Town Rocks. Uh, we're back with more coming up right after this. And it's This Town Rocks here on Clay Radio. As always, uh, we join you on Fridays at uh noon and nine, and then again uh Saturday and Sundays at 7 p.m. And uh hopefully you enjoy it so much that you want to go to the podcast even when it gets uh up and running a couple days after that. How cool is that. Yeah, we could we could be with you all the time. I think somebody just got sick like you did with the chocolate milk, thinking they'd have to listen to us for 24 hours a day. But uh this is uh a program in which we uh cover a lot of ground. We had some pranking, we had some uh national days last uh week or week before that uh we talked about in terms of uh the Star Wars Day, and the May May the Fourth be with you is sort of grown out of that, right? And uh of course there's national days of all kinds. You always see it publicized. So um we went over some of those. I I got more here. I'm gonna throw out a couple more, and then we're we're I'm gonna tell you how we do it, and then you guys can uh take center stage with your days. Now, one of the days I just thought of as I'm standing at National Pam Greer Day. Oh Foxy Brown. Foxy.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

What day is her birthday that we do it on her birthday?

SPEAKER_00 30:03

That would be cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:05

All right. She will.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

So here are a couple of days. I really like these. Uh, one of uh one of these is don't drink chocolate milk chunk days. National Don't Drink Chocolate Milk with Chunks Day. Uh this is National Leftovers for Breakfast Day.

SPEAKER_04 30:23

They were technically leftovers.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

Hey, when I was in radio, it would be a good day if you came in the next morning after the night show had pizza because they left it sitting right there in the company. Pizza for cold pizza, man. Yeah, not a problem. How about National Channel Surfing Day?

SPEAKER_04 30:38

These are real days.

SPEAKER_00 30:43

I sort of like this one. I subscribe to this. National, I'll do it tomorrow day. 365. Probably. Destination. Oh, and here's one I I particularly put put this one out here for Kurt. National dancing while no one's watching day. Technically, no one's watching.

SPEAKER_01 31:05

What's that inspirational quote? Dance like no one's watching.

SPEAKER_00 31:11

I thought that one just had to throw that in there. All right. Well, here's how we do this. And we're gonna get to Kurt and uh Freddy's uh national days here in just a moment. And if you've got one, drop a line to us uh at our Gmail account. It's uh Clay Radio Online at gmail.com. All right, here we here you go. Uh you have to register your national day at uh the National Day Archives.com.

SPEAKER_04 31:34

Oh dot com.

SPEAKER_00 31:35

All right, National Dayarchives.com. Uh they said after you fill out the application to get the application, and it's about seven or ten days. Here's the catch though.

SPEAKER_04 31:43

Uh oh.

SPEAKER_00 31:44

It's a little pricey to get your own day. Nine hundred and ninety-five dollars for a standard listing, twenty four hundred and ninety-five for a premium listing. Well, what's and you get a lot more. There's there's packages of of uh uh publicity putting you put into their lists and all all kinds of stuff where they they publicize you with the other national days and all that kind of stuff. So anyway.

SPEAKER_04 32:06

But is it does it make a calendar? That's what I want to know. Does it make a calendar?

SPEAKER_00 32:10

Oh, I I had it up here before, but yeah, it does make the National Archives uh calendar. That's where a lot of radio stations and people go to uh get I I question this.

SPEAKER_01 32:21

So someone paid $1,000 to have National Hermit Day. That's crazy. Is that what you're saying? I'm saying that, yes.

SPEAKER_03 32:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

That is wild, man.

SPEAKER_03 32:32

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

Well, look at some of these others I just channel surfing!

SPEAKER_00 32:35

Someone paid, probably got the premium package, $2,500 for the channel surfing day. Well, here's another one goes right up Kurt's Alley. This is great. National Midnight Snack Confessions Day. She's almighty. And here's another one. These all sort of surround you, Kurt. National Don't Fall for a Silly Pranks Day.

SPEAKER_01 33:00

There you go. I'm gonna start saving some money. Me too. Freddie's hung up on the hermit, dude.

SPEAKER_04 33:08

We need a gofund me.

SPEAKER_01 33:09

No, I'm hung up on that chunky yellow green milk that he drinks.

SPEAKER_04 33:14

I like yellows green.

SPEAKER_00 33:16

Don't drink green milk day. Alright, so Freddie, you said you got a couple for us. Lay them on us, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 33:22

Okay, so I have a passionate hate for this. Uh-oh. No glitter national day. Oh, man. Glitter National No Glitter Day Day. If you have girls, glitter stays with you forever. You wash the clothes, it's in the dryer. Then you get in your car, it's in your car. Then you go out in public, and Kurt is saying, Hey, Fred, you got some glitter on your face. It's indestructible. And they have now these glitter bombs you can send to people. Yes, I've seen those. If you send that to me, we're not friends ever.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

Oh man. Don't send those. Yeah, because the glitter, it sticks to your skin like you're trying to peel it off. It's terrible. Somebody always says, Oh, you got some glitter there, and then you're thinking, Oh, what do they think I'm doing here?

SPEAKER_01 34:07

I don't understand. They put it on clothes, and it doesn't stay on the clothes either. So, like you glued it to the clothes, but it ends up in the washing machine in the dryer and it just ends up everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 34:15

Alright, so I I like that. National No Glitter Day.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

Correct. The other one I would like to uh get a vote on. I think you guys will agree with me. No mom jeans, national.

SPEAKER_04 34:27

Yes, no mom jeans. Yes, I agree.

SPEAKER_00 34:30

Of course, we we just did one of those shows in fashions that are coming back. So uh Freddie's thrown this in the mix. No national or no, national, no mom's jeans.

SPEAKER_01 34:39

What if they had a National Mom's Day jeans day? And then the next day was no mom jeans day. Like back in the days.

SPEAKER_04 34:48

Well, you too can have that for the low, low price of $9.95 per day. So and then my other one was no car blinker day. No car blinker day. You know how many wrecks we'd have? That'd be terrible, right? That would that that happens every day. Nobody's on their blinkers.

SPEAKER_01 35:03

That's something that uh happens anyway.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

National Blinker Day.

SPEAKER_01 35:08

Go by turn on your blinkers. Go buy your blinker your blinker fluid at Napa. Good to go. That was about three that I thought of.

SPEAKER_04 35:15

Yeah, you get your Napa.

SPEAKER_00 35:17

Very good. Good ones. I like to know glitter day because that's it is annoying. Yeah, it is. Particularly uh the fact that you just can't get rid of it. It doesn't even want to go into the vacuum. You can't even vacuum it up.

SPEAKER_04 35:28

Well, how else would you know if Tinkerbell was there, man? Come on.

SPEAKER_00 35:31

That's Pixie Dust.

SPEAKER_04 35:32

Oh, Pixie Dust. Come on, man. Hey man, I for it's been a while. I'll have to talk about it.

SPEAKER_00 35:38

So then if you if you did Pixie Dust, you'd have to go at it the positive way. It would be just National Pixie Dust Day. There you go. Or National Day. I like it. I love the promise about this. I know, right? National. I love Pixie Dust Day. So give us a couple of years swirling around.

SPEAKER_04 35:54

Here's one that I think would be great. Kurt is cool day. I like that. Kurt with a C. Kurt is cool. Kurt is cool. Before you say that, can we do Kurt is my hero national day? Sign right here.

SPEAKER_00 36:12

Now you're talking.

SPEAKER_04 36:14

My other one would be This Town with an E. This town rocks. National This Town Rocks Day. All the towns across the world would be like, This town rocks. And then they Google it and then they go to our radio station. See, you guys are on it. You guys are on it. I say, yay. That one, that was that's it.

SPEAKER_00 36:32

That's it. That's you you went right for the heart. Pulling at Mike's heartstrings. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 36:40

Or something like that. He was pulling it to the heartstrings.

SPEAKER_03 36:42

Pulling his leg, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 36:45

How about a national replying in your head day? You know how you answer somebody, somebody'll say something, you don't want to really say it out loud, so you're answering in your head. I would I would this is what I would have told him. And you have a day for that.

SPEAKER_04 36:57

Oh, well, sometimes I just say it out loud loud and I just laugh when I do it. Like they're like, hey, you know, would you do this for me? No. I do it really loud. No. And then I laugh and I do it anyway. There you go.

SPEAKER_00 37:09

And I I usually have this uh when I go to the store, I always pick the wrong lane, the checkout lane. I do too. Right? So it does there's a day, National Express Lane Regret Day. The lady in front of you is writing a check.

SPEAKER_03 37:23

Can you take a check?

SPEAKER_01 37:24

Oh my lord. Oh writing a check in an express lane.

SPEAKER_00 37:29

Oh yeah, in this day and age, yeah, nobody has checks anymore. You think? You would think, right? All right. All right. So once again, if you're uh gonna be putting out uh some some money for the Register of National Day, if you do that, make sure you bring the receipt to us and we'll give you a whole show to talk about your uh national day.

SPEAKER_04 37:46

Oh boy, you guys gotta do it. Keep Mike on there.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

But you gotta bring it, you gotta bring the receipt, right? Application will take seven to ten days, nine ninety-five for the standard listing, that's nine hundred and ninety-five.

SPEAKER_04 38:04

You know, what would be even better is if they if they did their national day as this town with an E rocks. Right? Yeah, and then we would do an episode with them, it would be great. That's what they should do. This town rocks. You're looking for a sponsor, though. I'm looking for a sponsor.

SPEAKER_01 38:19

Pick it up to tab.

SPEAKER_04 38:20

Hey, it's national, man. Come on.

SPEAKER_01 38:22

So I was gonna tell you this happened yesterday at my work. We're talking about begging for money or whatever, but uh begging for money. So this this I've never seen you beg for money for either this guy's in our subdivision, like in our subdivision, in the middle of it, and he's uh so I get all these phone calls from all the residents, this guy's da-da- anyway, they're complaining because he's there. Because it's kind of weird. And so I drove by and he's got God bless support your veterans or whatever. And so I'm like, hey man, I said, I got a lot of calls. I said, You're on private property, which he wasn't. So I wanted to see if he knew that because he's on like sidewalk, so it's owned by the county roads. And so I said, I'm gonna call the I'm gonna call the sheriff's office. He goes, No, no, no, please don't call the sheriff's office. So I call the sheriff's office and they go and talk to him. He was a YouTuber trying to get attention with the CCSO. They already know who he was. So if you see that guy, he's a 6364, he's trying to get your attention. He's probably gonna have you on camera. So I'm gonna be on YouTube probably.

SPEAKER_04 39:21

Saying God bless America. Yes. Oh, I'll be watching for you.

SPEAKER_01 39:24

But everybody was saying he was panhandling, and it's not actually he wasn't asking for money or anything.

SPEAKER_00 39:29

So you guys yeah, he just wants to prove that his constitutional right is correct to be able to sit down and do whatever he wants to do.

SPEAKER_01 39:34

He wants the clicks. Yeah, he wants to click.

SPEAKER_00 39:36

That's what it is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:37

So it threw me off a little bit when you're talking about beggars. That reminded me of that. That happened yesterday, actually.

SPEAKER_03 39:41

How did I talk about beggars? I was just saying support this town rocks. We're begging for money. This this town rocks. Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 39:48

But that is a that is a situation, especially with the um public right-of-way where you anybody can be there, and what you do is just ignore them and they go away because they want you to go out and uh confront them so they have more to show on YouTube.

SPEAKER_01 40:01

Yep, that's exactly what it was. I was I told Jennifer, I said, I'm probably gonna be on YouTube because I probably look like an idiot saying I don't know the rules and the laws, but you know what you should have done, Freddie?

SPEAKER_00 40:09

What's that? Should have said to him word to your mother. Throw a glitter bomb at him. All right, well, that's it, boys.

SPEAKER_04 40:18

All right, that was fun. Can we do a one Star Wars show?

SPEAKER_00 40:21

All right, let's do it. Let's do one Star Wars. Okay. All right. We'll do away with this song. We'll go to this.

SPEAKER_01 40:26

When did Anakin's teacher know he was going to go to the dark side?

SPEAKER_00 40:30

We don't know.

SPEAKER_01 40:31

In the sixth grade. There you go. There's your Star Wars show. It's almost like Mike Tyson talking in fifth grade.

SPEAKER_00 40:44

All right. Well, that's it. That's a good way to end it. That's for darn sure. All right. We're looking for those emails. Send that email in to tell us what your national day would be. Uh that is uh at uh clay radio online at gmail.com. Kurt, you want to say goodbye?

SPEAKER_04 40:58

Hey, y'all. Thank you guys so much for tuning in. We have a blast, and we hope you are too.

SPEAKER_00 41:03

Adios, people. All right, and uh to all of those of you who drink green chocolate milk, hey, hey, listen my hat's off to you.

SPEAKER_04 41:11

Listen, just wait till I tell you about the Oreos and milk coming home from a gig story.

SPEAKER_00 41:15

Uh well, one of the pranks I saw that they said to write up is replace the cream with toothpaste in Oreo. So that that would be interesting too. Anyway, that's it for today. We appreciate you being with us. Uh, we'll talk to you again next time here on what we call This Town Rocks on Clay Radio.
