ken thomas is alive and kickin on wjjy 106.7 doing the morning show. god bless the studio tech that saved all the cash call takes! after all these years still classic radio!
So sad... all Ken Thomas wants to do is give away the Cash Call money, and you can hear his heart break a little bit when the person doesn't know the amount. Or what WJJY is, or who Ken Thomas is. And only Minnesotans know what choppers are, and we're not telling!!!
You always knew when KQ dusted off this classic by the vernacular spewed by warehouse workers throughout the Twin Cities. You'd walk into a place, and everyone inside is all "Anyone Can Come" this and "Cash Ball!?" that.
i heard this on one of my local radio programs, a comedy duo in the mornings here, Mark and Brian KLOS 95.5, anyhoo they were playing this (id heard it before but i cant remember where from) but as soon as they mentioned Brainerd, i instantrly think of Fargo! (the movie)
as a resident of brainerd i would just like to assure people that brainerd is not filled with a bunch of old and crazy people im 19 and im a proud resident of this city... aww who am i kidding NEVER COME HERE IF YOU WANNA KEEP YOUR SANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to whomever put this here... I've been trying to find a recording of this for years! My friends and family use most of these lines at least once a day in one way or another. A great Minnesota treasure... Elderly hard-of-hearing Swedes. Gotta love 'em. :o)
"Youre gay!" for posting this on You Tube! I lived in Brainerd for a short period of time and its the real thing. Thanks to the Q for having some fun with it. And RIP Eino Korpi, heard he passed away not that long ago.
Do they do this any more?? I love it!!

I love how the old people change the subject by talking about themselves rather than realize what the call is about. Oh Minnesotans :)
