Episode 134 - Rosemary Burns
In this episode of the Beef and Dairy Network, the host explores the bizarre and life-altering consequences of an unsolicited prize awarded through the show’s weekly Beef Call competition. The winner, the late Rosemary Burns, was sent one hundred tons of manure, an event that upended her life and her failing bed and breakfast business. The episode features an interview with Rosemary’s daughter, Carol, who joins the show not to offer thanks, but to demand accountability for the chaos caused by the constant, unrequested deliveries. The discussion reveals the unexpected role played by Kevin Kranmer, the manure delivery driver who, despite being born without a sense of smell, eventually formed a strange romantic connection with Rosemary. Kevin recounts his lifelong, thwarted ambition to become a professional ballet dancer, a dream he funded by defrauding Rosemary after convincing her to support his training. The conversation dives into the dark irony of Kevin’s eventual expulsion from ballet school and the tumultuous aftermath for all involved, ultimately serving as a cautionary tale about the unpredictable, and often ruinous, nature of following one's dreams.
