...And they're buying food and throwing the food away so they can get the beanie babies. So I've got an employee from a McDonalds coming by, and we're going to burn a beanie baby live on the air.
Oh, that's so mean.
So?
But...
It's it's my boycot of the people who are buying that food, thowing it away to get the beanie babies.
Well, that's just because they're stupid and they can't read signs.
I know! So now, so now just because of it we're going to burn an inchworm beanie baby.
No, not that one.
Yes, we're burning it.
No!
Try to stop me.
Oh my god.
I'm doing it!
Yeah, whatever.
Whatever? I am doing it. You're uninvited. Alanis Morissette.
We're burning the beanie baby tonight because people are buying beanie babies with the happy meals and throwing the happy meals away to get the beanie babies.
No, instead of doing that, why don't you just uh, um, put it on the air and auction it off...
Because that's a Murphy thing! I'm burning the sucker!
Oh come on...
Screw that, I tell you what, I tell you what. I'll burn it and auction off the charred remains for charity. How's that?
No, I don't think that would work out too well.
Well, let's fine out. We'll see if people want to buy the charred beanie baby.
Okay.
And I'll give the proceeds to charity.
Well, good luck.
Thanks.
Sure.
Bye.
The Googoo Dolls, Iris. 101 WIXX. The guy from McDonalds is supposed to be coming by to char a beanie baby for my little protest. If you're listening it's probably hard to get through to tell me you're here so just wait out front, we'll drop some... dummm... uh... Otis Day, IXX, let's go. Wooooo! Wow, are we ready to do this? How about that. WIXX, hello.
Hey, how's it going?
Pretty good, hey, is this Jerm?
Yes it is.
Hey, what's up Jerm!
Nothing much.
Alright dude, guess what?
What?
You're number eight!
Oh my god, I can't believe it!
How about that... What's going on tonight Jerm?
Ummm, nothing much.
What do you think about the beanie baby thing?
Oh it's just driving me nuts that people throwing away the food.
Yeah, I want to make sure people understand, especially the, uh, the little ones, I get some young ones calling up going "Don't burn the beanie baby". Here's the deal.
What?
We're burning the beanie baby, it's my protest to the people who are buying food to get a beanie baby and then thowing the food away. It, you know, has nothing to do with McDonalds. I love McDonalds, I eat there all the time. Man, Number 4, Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese Extra Value Meal man, I love it, man. Super sized, diet, no ice.
Yeah...
But it's, it's the people that are buying the food, thowing it away to get the beanie babies, so that's why we're doing it.
Uh huh...
I just wanted to clear that up.
Yeah.
Okay, enough of my little soapbox. You ready?
Yeah.
Nine to one, title or artist, ten seconds or less. Let's do it. On your mark, get set, go.
Will Smith, Backstreet Boys, Backstreet Boys, Aerosmith, Fastball, Madonna, Alanis Morissette, Blair, Googoo Dolls.
Wow, in like 3.2 seconds. You da man, let's get in the prize vault and get some access, see what you won Jerm. Hang on, just a second. Okay, we got a pizza from Papa John's pizza for you Jerm.
Cool.
And a CD from the WIXX music stash.
Okay.
And if you want, you can buy the charred remains of the beanie baby after we burn it, we're gonna give the proceeds to charity, alright?
Okay.
Hey, Jerm!
Yeah?
Who's yer daddy?
You are!
Hang on, WIXX.
Brand new from Natalie Merchant, it's "Kind And Generous". 101 WIXX, Otis Day, the all night party. The bidding is already begun, and we haven't even charred the beabie baby yet. Uh, although my McDonalds Employee is here. Now, you don't want to say your name, right?
No, I don't.
Can you say what McDonalds you are from?
Uhh, yeah, sure, I work on the one on Webster. The Allouez one.
Okay, now what's been going on today? You were talking...
Well, I've been working for five hours straight saying nothing but "Hi, welcome to McDonalds. Today, our beanie baby is Inch the Inchworm."
Yeah.
And, you know, we've gone through cases and cases of different styles.
Okay, what you were saying is people are coming in and they're buying food to get the beanie baby and then throwing the food away.
Yeah, and I just want everybody to know that you don't have to do that. You can get...
It says on the sign, doesn't it? That you can just buy a drink and you can get...
Yeah, you can get, you know, a small Coke and get five beanie babies.
But people aren't doing that.
Yeah.
They're buying happy meals, and they're...
There are people that were just taking it out of the bag and leave with just that.
Okay, now let me say this. Because not everybody is doing this.
No, no.
Am I right?
There are some people that are actually getting it for the meal, for their kids.
Yeah, yeah. So I don't want everyone thinking.... And there's nothing against McDonalds, there's nothing against beanie babies.
No.
But we've already got people bidding, I've already got a $25 bid, uhhhh. These proceeds will go to charity, for the charred remains of the beanie baby. What are we burning here, by the way?
Well, I've got Inch the Inchworm here.
Oh, that's so cute.
Yeah, we've been selling...
I've never seen a beanie baby, let me see 'em. This just just like cloth and beans man.
Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah, and this is what people are paying hundreds and thousands of dollars for.
Purple and blue and green and orange and yellow. You wanna char it?
Yeah.
You wanna fry it?
I got the lighter fluid, I got...
Okay, what we need... You know what we need to do? We need to get a big bucket of water, and then we will char it next. So why don't you get the matches unwrapped, we'll get it soaked in lighter fluid, I'll get a bucket of water to make sure this is all cool, and then we will fry the beanie baby next.
All right, I've been waiting for this.
Cool, alright, hang on, IXX.
Otis Day and the all night party CHAR 'EM! on WIXX.
Hey, it's Otis Day, here's what we're doing. People are buying beanie babies at McDonalds, they're getting the happy meals, they're throwing the food away to get the beanie babies. We don't think that's right especially since you don't have to buy a happy meal to get the beanie babies. So to let everybody know that you don't have to buy a happy meal to get the beanie babies, you can just buy a soda, we have an employee from McDonalds... Allouez you said?
Yup.
Okay, and we're calling you "X" 'cause you don't want your name on the air.
Well, I know there are people out there who know who I am, so I say Michelle, this one's for you.
He he he. Okay, now first let me say this before anything. Do not try this at home. Do not attempt this at home at all. Don't even think about it. We're doing this, we've got an engineer in here, we got a couple people in here, we got lots of water, we're gonna make sure this goes down right, alright? I already have people bidding on them, you wanna try to... let's try it without fluid first.
Alright.
Let's just see if you can light that sucker up. Now, we'll have to move your mic away a little bit. So this is the inchworm beanie baby that we're going to try to fry here. Okay. You know what, it might be infalmmable because it's for kids. No, that thing's catching on. There goes the tail. Man, that thing's... oh, well, it went out. It does go out a little bit, doesn't it. No, that's torching, that's torching. Look at that sucker go. Oh, we got black, nasty smoke in the studio. The inchworm beanie baby on fire right now... It's almost up to the blue section.
It's like toxic fumes.
Yeah, it's like toxic fumes, I know. I'm getting a little woozy man. Alright, so we wanna burn.... We gotta leave some of it left so we can sell it. So, it's getting up to the blue part of the tail, now, as we burn an inchworm beanie baby. I can't believe we are doing this, man. Do not try this at home. Are you spraying it out? Maybe we should spray that out now, it's starting to char a little bit. Let's see if we can get some water on that so the station doesn't burn down. I bet I'd get fired if the station burned down. Okay, the beanie baby's been charred. Let me see that. Oh, look at that real quick. Oh, oh all the beans came out, oh look. They're just little.
Yeah, it emptied itself.
They're just little plastic beans, it's, it's been gutted man. The beanie baby's been gutted dude. The intestines are in here.
Are the beans melted?
No, they're not melted. It took awhile to burn that though. Okay, once again don't try this at home. But we do now have a charred beanie baby for auction. I've already got a $25 bid from Tom Kessler. The proceeds will go to charity, we'll pick one.... We'll let Murphy do that. He's good at that charity stuff. Alright, so if you want the charred beanie baby right now phone lines are open for you, it's 455-1011, 733-7101, *WIXX from your Cellcom phone. Yeah, it stinks in here man.
