Post by bunniefuu »

hi as our Christmas present to you we're

bringing you two episodes back-to-back

including our Christmas show happy

holidays

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

one these sloppy joes are great I think

I have another one I don't understand it

never has a second sloppy joe at home

sure why not

great-grandma why are the sleeping bags

wait a minute something tells me this

isn't the kind of a contest where you

guess how many jelly beans there are in

a fishbowl hey grandma this is a good

kind we're gonna want a sports car that

goes 200 miles an hour yeah me and all I

gotta do a billboard longer than anybody

else

what do you mean you're gonna live on a

billboard it's the W am radios life in

the fast lane contest when big big big

with when we're way but that's the

craziest thing I've ever heard

what kind of a nitwit would subject

themselves to public humiliation just to

win a car I'm glad you're here I want

you to do something just fifty bucks I

thought those magazines didn't come out

till the first of the month no we'll get

those later this is for you I want you

to go to the beauty shop get your nails

done a facial the works Eddie did you

hire a new secretary quite a kidder no

look you did such a nice job on the roof

I just want to show my appreciation no

no come on come on get out of here can I

use the car we used it last week

hey Frederick you called sir about you

up there just about you know we're

placing that asbestos isn't quite the

breeze you said it to me come on Sam

take a load off your dogs you know it's

been a long time since you and I had a

father/son talk if that's what this is I

believe it'll be our first one sir

Freddie you're my favorite son

I know I tell your brother that but I

don't mean yes I think he knows that I

don't know if I ever told you about my

father and the kind of a man he was

I believe he's still alive I was a big

disappointment to that man all he ever

told me was it I was no good

and an embarrassment he wouldn't even

claim me as a tax deduction sir pain you

must have suffered I know you and me

will never be like that good now hold

that thought now son when I'm not around

what are the things people say I'd

rather not say sir come on you can tell

me I can take it well one that comes to

mind is hey there goes that tasteless

idiot in the pickup truck mind you I'm

only paraphrasing alasa

I've suffered a life full of such

indignities but that could change with

your help my help sir son what's missing

from my life is that thing that ticket

that passport to prestige but you can

get it for me I'll do it anything as

long as it's within the bounds of the

Penal Code I want you to enter that wham

contest and sit up on that billboard and

lend me that Ferrari

that's a top-drawer idea sir however I

sincerely doubt you're right I don't

deserve that car it's just a for one

brief shining moment I thought I could

be somebody guess I'll just file that

along with the rest of my broken dreams

yeah wait despair not that cars as good

as yours I know you'd come around let's

celebrate

go get me a beer

[Music]

why are you doing this I told you it's

gonna be great

hey this is me you're talking to okay so

I'm doing it for my old man it's just

what I thought Freddie you can't let

your father force you into doing

something you don't want to people don't

understand my father if you were born a

hundred years ago they'd still be

singing about his exploits yeah they'd

be singing about a guy hanging from a

tree in Dodge City he's just using you

to get a new Ferrari what about our

camping trips school dating I mean this

could be the year we finally don't get

beat up by seniors you can the gloom and

doom with the lightweights in this town

I won't be up there more than a week

you better hope it's only a week

remember that time you went away to camp

and you came back home and there was

that Greek family living in your room

this is too handsome for radios same God

and we're coming to you live from

downtown Mayfield where our well life in

the fast lane for robbery giveaway is

about to get green light ignited and

ready to rock and roll

we don't have to stand here and watch

Freddie being put away like this yeah I

didn't expect to see this until he was

18 you've given him spare change you've

crossed the street to avoid him that

never be done hey Don welcome Jorge

- is a freelance writer of Wham welcome

for gods

[Applause]

look at a man lock up his own child just

to win a car no grab my Freddie wants to

do this sure just like you wanted to be

a scarecrow and Eddie planted that

garden you always arguing with me you
