The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day all...

I have no idea if there is a theme tonight...you would think it would be Irish...I cannot think of a single reason why 20min will be wasted on a moonbat leftist named Kojo Nnamdi...but the highlight tonight is a good one with Jack Benny...

How are you? I hope not drinking green beer...

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! Who the heck is that Kojo guy?

[Vision]

Hey Gina. I’m trying hard to be kind here. He’s a bizarre local NPR personality.

Anything going on?

[WXRGina]

Well, that interview doesn’t belong on The Big Broadcast—OLD TIME RADIO SHOWS, Murray! That’s the bottom line.

We’re doing fine, just the usual Sunday getting ready for the week stuff. You doing well?

[Vision]

Yes. And things are good up here. Starting to warm up, was in the 60’s Friday (:

[WXRGina]

Oh, so nice! Spring is beautiful. :-)

Sorry I was late to the party, folks. I started the day getting into an IT vs. USAF joust with the minister because he's such a pig-headed MS Office wanna-be, and shot him down with the 'ol' 'pilot error' disaster summary, had to let the wife take the grandson to the local fair, durn near killed myself starting the annual yard survey and cleanup ( I think I'm just taking a flamethrower to everything at this point), the cat is sleeping on my laptop again and won't let me view the screen, and now Connie has lost the Alexa remote but won't get off the sofa to help me find it, and after an extensive search of every room plus the fridge and garbage can, I have concluded it's it's probably stuck in the crack of her butt, but she she won't move 'cuz the grandmama housecat has licked off every hair of fur off from the shoulders down from the pollen allergies down here, and won't come out from under her blanket my wife is under. All this while trying to BBQ chicken and trying to keep Mom's spirits up because the lump they found in her breast six months ago had doubled in size, and the biopsy results are coming due.

So, how's your week been? LOL!

[WXRGina]

Oh, I’m sorry to hear about Mrs. Viking. That’s so scary. :-(

[Vision]

Sorry to hear that. Things are great up here, thanks for checking in and good luck with everything. Not sure if you saw this thread:

That’s Grandma Viking. Still waiting to hear back about the oncology results. They took five polyps out of me back in ‘15 during the ol’ fiber-optic groundhog hunt, and everyone on her side of the family’s who has passed was due to the Big C. Say a prayer, please. She’ll be 78 in August. (She had me barely out of nursing school.) Vision - oh, I remember that incident. Not quite first-hand, of course, but I would have ended up a glowing diaper playing with a radioactive mutt named Sugar if those warheads would have had been armed with barometric fuses. It’s sad that a couple of those guys paid the ultimate price, because I know where all these landmarks are, and they came so close to rescue and safety. God, to be found dead with your legs frozen into the Casselman River, just 3/4 of a mile from Salisbury. It’s the same general area where we usually have our family Christmas dinner - Savage River Lodge, The Casselman Inn, Penn Alps........never crosses the mind to say a prayer for those guys when blessing dinner. I’ll have to remember that this year.

[WXRGina]

Oh, Viking, I’m sorry about your Mom. :-( When you said, “Mom,” I thought you were talking about “the wife.”
