Talk Time

Intro Man:
That a course was one of the latest hits by the Yoopers from Ishpeming, Mich. (coughing) Oh these cigarettes, I love ‘em though. You’re listening to Y-O-O-P radio, National Mine Mich, the one-watt golden voice of Tilden Valley. Stay tuned next for Talk Time with Ernie Potila’s boy Joe (coughing) Take it away, Joe

(Further coughing, and accordion music begins)

Joe:
Hey Toivo, cut the music. Hey, that’s good
(off-key accordion noises)
Producer:
Hey when Joe says stop, he means stop, eh?
Joe:
Good morning to you all and welcome to Talk Time on this cold snowy crappy miserable lousy day. I hope you all had a good weekend, I know I didn’t. My water pipes froze and split so I jumped in the Chevy to pick up some elbows and unions and went in a ditch over by the 4-way stop
So I walked up to Woody’s bar and called the wife to bring the Plymouth. So then SHE got stuck with the Plymouth, and I had to wait for tree hours. When she finally got there and we were leavin' the bar, she stepped on my hand and broke two fingers, so I never did get them water pipes fixed
Oh well, that's the way it goes in the U.P., I guess
Now let’s get down to business, you got something to buy, sell, or trade? Give us a call at 4061 or 4062 and we’ll be back with our first caller after this message

Ad Man:
Milltown Loggetts. That’s right, folks - Milltown Loggetts. The all-wood, all-natural un-charcoaled briquettes. Ideal for barbecuing, campfires, wood stove and fireplace fuels, smoking fish and game, and firestarters. 100% natural hard wood
And when the party gets dull, throw a few in the toilet, and watch em swell! Walla - instant party crap! Fool all your friends - ha ha ha! Scatter a few on the rug, put a couple in a chair, or leave a few next to the old turlet. Sit back and watch your friends get sick and throw up
For fun and fire, that's Milltown Loggetts. Milltown Loggetts
Wood - one of nature’s most abundant, renewable resources

Ok, now listen - you want me to lose my job or something? You can’t say 'shit' on the radio! Now there’s priests and old ladies and little kids out there listening. And the FCC'll pull our license, I’ll be back out on the farm, I don’t wanna work on the farm
