Brian Alvey filling in for Big Nige. Uh, Ms. Allison, can I get some mood music, please?
Happy National Fried Chicken Day to those who celebrate. I do enjoy some good fried chicken, Brian. Sounds great right now.

**Nigel** (0:22)
Where's your favorite place to get fried chicken?

**Brian Alvey** (0:24)
Well, it used to be the Gray Brothers Cafeteria in Mooresville.

**Nigel** (0:29)
Lockner's back in the day on Eastside.

**Brian Alvey** (0:30)
Single tier goes down my eye. I'm at the age now where my favorite places are gone. Like the best chicken wings locally were Ponderosa in Beech Grove. And that bad boy has been gone for a while. I never got over it.

**Nigel** (0:44)
You want to see?

**Brian Alvey** (0:44)
I'm still hurting from that.

**Nigel** (0:46)
You want a sleeper spot? Just a great spot to go get some fried. Down in Franklin, at Athens Greek restaurant, Athens, that we we literally catered my sister's wedding with that fried chicken.

**Brian Alvey** (0:57)
Oh, awesome. Wilson's farm market, really good from fried chicken as well.
But today is National Fried Chicken Day. So what we're going to do is great moments in chicken history. Great moments in chicken history. This is a woman who called 911 because KFC shorted her order.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:21)
Police dispatch? Yes, I'm at KFC.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:24)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:25)
And I came here earlier and I bought some chicken for 25.99, which should have been eight pieces. I only got four pieces of chicken in here. And the manager don't say he packed the bag, but I only got four pieces of chicken and I want my chicken.
Okay, that's going to be more of a civil matter. You'd have to take it up with management and then maybe someone above him.

**Brian Alvey** (1:49)
There's not much the police can do about it.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:52)
So you can't help me get my chicken. I want my chicken.

**Nigel** (1:55)
I mean, I can send someone over to talk to you.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:58)
To talk to me. They should be talking to them. They see people out there, boom.

**Brian Alvey** (2:03)
Somebody was like bleeding to death in their home or suffering a cardiac arrest and couldn't get through 911 because some woman who sounds like Whoopi Goldberg was bitching about her chicken. And again, play that clip just one more time. Close your eyes. Tell me that this woman does not sound just like Whoopi Goldberg.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:23)
Yes, I'm at KF3.

**Allison** (2:26)
OK.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:26)
And I came here earlier and I bought some chicken for $25.

**Brian Alvey** (2:30)
You hear it, right, Allison? You hear that Whoopi? I can definitely hear that now.

**Allison** (2:34)
Now that you say that.

**Brian Alvey** (2:35)
Great moments in chicken history. There was an elected official. It was somewhere in the northeast, like the New England area. And I can't remember the exact location, but got popped for a Dewey.
And this TV hit the straight-laced news reporter having to talk about what this guy said was beautiful.

**Allison** (2:57)
The arrest of a newly elected local official is raising some eyebrows for what officers claim the man said before they put him in the back of a cop car.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:05)
Jeremy Miller, he was just elected in November to represent Montcalm County's first district. Now, however, he is facing charges for drunk driving. Police say Miller couldn't walk in a straight line during his field sobriety test.
The officer placed Miller in handcuffs asking him if he knew why he was being arrested. And that is when Miller responded, quote, Because I was being stupid, those damn chicken nuggets.

**Brian Alvey** (3:32)
Those damn chicken nuggets. Great moments in chicken history.
This is a AI. Joe Biden trying to identify what a chicken is talking about.

**Brian** (3:47)
Hey, it's me, Joe, Joe Mama. That chicken is saying that you ain't black.
That chicken is clearly saying that he once bought crack from Hunter.

**Nigel** (3:59)
Oh.

**Brian** (4:02)
It's obvious. That chicken feels like Corn Pop and Ken Tangee Drown Jackson are about to, um, you know, um, anyway.

**Nigel** (4:13)
Corn Pop Popcorn Chicken. I'm here for it.

**Brian Alvey** (4:16)
Dude, that's a marketing idea.

**Nigel** (4:17)
That is a marketing idea right there.

**Brian Alvey** (4:19)
We're doing great moments in chicken history in honor of National Fried Chicken Day.
This was a farmer who taught his pet chicken how to laugh at his jokes. Why did the chicken cross the road?

**SPEAKER_2** (4:33)
To get to the other side.

**Brian Alvey** (4:43)
Okay, now, if that laugh sounds familiar, close your eyes and pretend like it's Kamala Harris. Allison? Why did the chicken cross the road?
