- 0:06Speaker 1: It's often said that people of Utah speak a language
- 0:09Speaker 1: all their own. It's a language that's often confusing and
- 0:13Speaker 1: even incomprehensible to newcomers here in the Beehive State. So
- 0:17Speaker 1: Radio from Hell presents a handy guide to help everyone
- 0:21Speaker 1: understand how the natives speak. It's the Utah word of
- 0:24Speaker 1: the day, and today's.

- 0:30Speaker 2: now to use this word in a couple different ways,

- 0:34Speaker 2: and his son Denver Criddle. Denver is trying to sneak
- 0:37Speaker 2: out of the house when he is stopped by Dawn. Again,

- 0:46Speaker 3: Where are you sneaking off to? And what's that you
- 0:48Speaker 3: got under your shirt?

- 1:01Speaker 4: just my tummy poking out.
- 1:03Speaker 3: I'm not stupid, son, there's definitely something under your shirt
- 1:07Speaker 3: and it's moving. Now, come over here, let's have a look. No, son,
- 1:13Speaker 3: why do you have a chicken hidden under your shirt?
- 1:16Speaker 4: Don't be mad at me, daddy. I do have a
- 1:18Speaker 4: chicken hidden under my shirt, but I got a real
- 1:21Speaker 4: good reason for it.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Well, I doubt that. But why are you trying to
- 1:24Speaker 3: smuggle Kluck Norris away from our inhabitants.
- 1:27Speaker 4: I'm taking him to the movies.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Why on God's Green Earth would you want to take
- 1:32Speaker 3: a chicken too the movies. I don't think chickens lack movies.
- 1:36Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna get nothing out of it.
- 1:38Speaker 5: Well, I don't know about that. Sometimes Kluck watches the
- 1:41Speaker 5: TV with me. He seems to really like the masked singer.
- 1:44Speaker 5: But the movie I'm taking him to is a minecraft movie.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Why would a chicken want to see a movie about mining?
- 1:50Speaker 4: Oh, silly, Daddy. It isn't about mining. It's about world building.
- 1:54Speaker 4: But that's not why I want to take the chicken
- 1:56Speaker 4: to the show. I want to take him because a
- 1:58Speaker 4: chicken is in the show. There are parts where a
- 2:01Speaker 4: baby zombie rides a chicken. Mm, I know what when
- 2:08Speaker 4: that happens? When the zombie rides at the Chicken. All
- 2:12Speaker 4: the people in the theater throw popcorn and yell chicken Jockey,
- 2:17Speaker 4: And when it happens, I thought it'd be funny to
- 2:19Speaker 4: have a real chicken there. And you know how much
- 2:21Speaker 4: Kluck North like the popcorn. So I thought he could
- 2:24Speaker 4: go around the theater pecking up the popcorn.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So can he go, daddy, Canny?
- 2:28Speaker 4: Can he please?
- 2:29Speaker 3: Well? All right, on one condition, You're you're going to
- 2:34Speaker 3: the Salt Creek Cinemas there to Nephi, Right, yep, we are. Well,
- 2:37Speaker 3: it's the only movie show I know that has chicko sticks.

- 2:42Speaker 3: of them. Chicko sticks is my favorite.
