There's a tornado watch|for a portion of West Texas.
Brian Chadwick is with the county|sheriff's office in Sweetwater.
We're trying to get the word out to|the community to brace themselves.
We hope this thing's not gonna|develop into a real funnel...
but after Saragosa, we're|not taking any chances.
The National Weather Service says|the storm is moving northeast...
and with the exception of some rain, it|shouldn't affect the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
That's news, sports and weather. I'm|Frank Castle for KGAB talk radio news.
From the heart of|the Lone Star state,
it's time for Dallas'|most popular talk show,
Night Talk|with Barry Champlaign.
# Bad to the bone #
The KGAB phone lines are open|and ready for your call...
at 555-TALK.
And now your host for Night|Talk, Barry Champlaign.
- The worst news|of the night is that...
three of four people say they'd rather|watch TV than have sex with their spouse.
The second worst news is that some|kids needed money for crack last night,
so they stuck a knife in the throat|of an 80-year-old grandmother...
down on Euclid Avenue|right here in Dallas.
One night|in one American city.
Multiply that by hundreds of|cities and what have you got?
A country where culture means|pornography and slasher films,;
where ethics means payoffs,|graft, insider trading,;
where integrity means Iying,|whoring and intoxication.
This country is|in deep trouble, people.
This country is rotten to the core and|somebody better do something about it.
Take your hand out of that bowl of|Fritos, throw away your National Enquirer,
and pick up the phone,|hold it up to your face...
and dial 555-TALK.
Open your mouth and tell me what we're|gonna do about the mess this country's in.
Talk radio- it's the last|neighborhood in town.
People don't talk|to each other anymore.
Let's go to|the first caller.
A lot of problems with the|country today have a lot do...
- with the continued exploitation|of the third world countries.
Wait. Third world countries? Where'd|you learn that phrase, in college?
Do you know what it means?|You're getting off the track.
We're not getting off the track,|we're getting on.
Josh, go back to college. When|you graduate, give me a call.
A prime example of that|uniquely American institution;
the concerned|bleeding-heart liberal...
looking for people with|problems he can call his own.
Francine in Oakline.|I'm a transvestite.
I'm trying to save money|for an operation...
What interest do you think your adventures|in surgery hold for my listeners?
It's something I have to talk|about. I don't. Night Talk.
Let me put you on hold. You slip|some testosterone into Barry's coffee?
The guy's possessed tonight.|He's a little tense.
Get outta here!
Sometimes I come home from work and|we have dinner together, you know?
No, I don't know. You have|dinner at the table with your cat?
With a tablecloth and|candles? No, Barry.
Just her own plate on the floor. Good.
But we eat the same things. Like if I|have a pork chop, she has a pork chop.
If I have a veal,|she has a veal.
Glenn, take my advice.
Stop hangin' around with|the pussy. Go find some.
I'm listening, Michael.|What's up?
Yeah, I heard your little|advertisement there for the pizza place.
Yeah, Jericho's Pizza. I love|that pizza. Don't you like it?
You sound like you'd love|it. I enjoy Jericho's Pizza.
What I wanted to say to you|tonight, Mr. Champlaign, was...
I have an interest in this place,|or at least, some friends of mine...
Just use one-syllables, Billy,|if it's difficult. Oh, Michael.
Hey, smart guy.|Just use one-syllable...
