other one the Fountain had Alice Shrugged is really the
good one.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Though famously once said I love this.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Men cannot be enslaved politically until they have been disarmed ideologically.
When they are so disarmed, it is the victims who
take the lead in the process of their own destruction.

one on this day, Oh sorry, hang on, producier girl.

Apparently he refused to attend classes. I don't know why
he went there if he wasn't going to attend classes.
(06:46):
He wanted to write poems. Yeah, but it got himself
court martialed and seemed kind of deliberate. Maybe he didn't
like the environment, the aircut. I don't know. Today. In
eighteen thirty six, what happened in there? Batam Battle of
the Almo not Elmo Alamo. It's three syllables. I think
we're saying the same thing, Elmo. It came to an
(07:08):
end after thirteen days? Is it today?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And today when you visit the Alamo in downtown San
Antonio and you and you look over at the Wax

steal the idea from high drocks? Yeah, and yet somehow
their's was better better.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, let's not skip over eighteen ninety six. We were
chatting earlier about how the car coming into fashion back
in the day took over from the horse and the
horse and buggy and all of that. Well, on this
date in eighteen ninety six, a guy named Charles King
(08:05):
drove the first car on the streets of Detroit. Eighteen
ninety six. Wow, And when the car broke down. This
is what the transition hadn't happened yet. When the car
broke down on the street blocking people that they yelled
at him to get a horse. Huh. And we didn't
(08:28):
stay there, did we. We managed to move on into
the full blown automobile world without having the government forcing
it on us.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The biggest surprise for him was moments later when it
was carjacked, because it's Detroit.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, that took that inevitable.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Today, in nineteen thirty Bird's Eye, frosted foods goes on
sale in retail stores for the first time.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We're frozen.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Well that's what it says today in nineteen oh frozen
Is that supposed to say f It says frosted here
today there's always typos.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I didn't know what it was today.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
In nineteen forty five, George Neeson of Cedar Bids, Iowa,
pattents the modern trampoline called a Nissan. Nissan is his name,
man I S.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
S n.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He made the trampoline to you nineteen forty five. So
you're telling me in the middle of World War two,
we got the Holocaust going on, we got Pearl Harbor,
we got all this different stuff. Not in nineteen forty
five was well that was what it just what gone
on for the last few years. Sure, and this guy George,
with all that happening, said, you know what we ought
to do?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
What do we really really need to focus on right now?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
We need to take a circular poll and attach it
to little springs and put a tarp over it and
jump on that.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, maybe that was his way of getting over that
Berlin wall.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, no, no, no, how do you know you weren't there.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I don't have to be there. Today.

Nineteen fifty Silly Putty introduced it at toy Fair in

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Today, in nineteen seventy three, Dick President Dick Nixon imposed
his price control on oil and gas, And today, in
nineteen eighty one, Walter Cronkite signs all from CBS.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
News And that's the way it was.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The same day that happened, Reagan announced plans for thirty
seven thousand federal jobs.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I think it was a mistake. I bet Kronkite wishes
he could get back in there and make that announcement.
But do I no, you quit, you're a quitter.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, you're gone now today and let's see nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You'll like this one.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The first and the best lethal weapon was released, the
first and though last.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
No, it is the best first, and oh, I mean
I think so.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Today in twenty twelve, the chicken McNugget resembling George Washington
sold for eighty one hundred dollars on eBay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You think they still got it? Man, what would she
even do with it? Put it in a little acrylic
display case and half people come over and they could
they could see. You could even charge people to see
something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And since it's a chicken McNugget, it's never gonna mold
or oh no, god no. Today in twenty twenty four,
Nikki Haley ends her bid to be the geped.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh what a shame. Yeah, we barely knew you, nicky.
She's doing these days?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Anything, you know, Probably just living off all that money
she gets from Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh yeah, don't don't stop the war.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Probably hanging out with that spook we saw on TV
the other day. What the CIA agent. Who that the
person that delivered the message for the Democrat Party?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You believe she was c I. She said she was
a CIA. Yeah she said that. You believe it? I mean, yeah,
of course obviously government sucks it. Don't stand Walton M. Johnson.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
There's a one armed college basketball player.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Why why are you laughing? No reason?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's not a joke. His name's uh Bailey Cinnamon Daniel
and he.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Was born with this is like a stripper name s.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I N A M A N. How would you say
that cinnamon sounds like cinnamon to me? Right, put your
hands together for cinnamon. Well you can't. He's only got
the one arm and so he wait, no way. She
she became the first female player with one arm to.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Didn't like read ahead of the story to know you
were talking a woman. No, I just found out about
this minute, just second game. A woman women's basketball. That's
never going to catch on, No anyway, She merely it
is a joke. She became the first one arm player
to make a basket in a Division three game. Here
she is talking about the exciting experience.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It is not very common to see somebody with one
arm playing basketball. I think there's probably about two or
three of us in the collegiate level. From what I
believe and from other people have told me, I am
the first Division three women's collegiate basketball player to make
a basket in a game the first time when I
shot the ball and.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It wait, wait pop, what is this up here on
the right side? Okay, so she has an arm. It's
just not it's like it's a short arm. Is that
a hand that's sort of a hand right like coming
right off of her shoulder or is it just a
you know, I don't know. We're we're looking at a
photo of her and some video of her in the
(12:57):
room right now, still shot. It's not moving.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
She doesn't have a full, like a long, full extended arm.
She has a shorter arm. But still, I mean, I
think it's it's an impressive accomplishment. The only thing I
didn't understand is.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
To take anything away from her. I was just curious
as to, you know, how much of an arm does
she have on the side where she didn't have an
arm a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I guess it's the shiny little like you know. Well,
first of all, it's always nothing. It's always inspired. When inspiring,
when people can overcome their well cores you know their
challenges in life and still succeed.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So that's great. Look look look at look at what
you've accomplished, Guinny.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I know I can't believe I'm here either. I should
have died a long time ago. We all know that.
But what I thought was remarkable about this SoundBite is
she says it's not uncommon to see somebody with one
arm in a basketball game like that, but that no
one had ever scored a point before, and.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Huh, what are they playing for? Then I can't be
that great on defense either. See, I could never score
a basket. That's why I don't play basketball. And I've
got two arms, so you know that.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
But you never put the ball in the hole you
went out on the on the playgrounds, it's a gym
in school or something.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You you've nibl sunkle basket.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Usually I would be playing basketball and then I would
make some wise crack about one of the kids that
was better at sports, and then I would find that
I'd spend the rest of recess or gym class or
whatever it was, running as fast as I could away
from wherever I said the comment at.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
We're trying to find a napkin or something to stop
the blood flow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, well, you know, I never never, it never came
to that. I have this one talent because Ginny can run.
I can run run away. I don't have a lot,
but I could do that one thing. The makers of
Crystal Light have announced an upcoming alcoholic version.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is this for alcoholics? Isn't it powder? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Is there a non powder version of crystal How could
it have the alcohol already in it powdered out?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah? High tech stuff, artificial intelligence. Yeah, that's it AI.
It's AI crystal light. That sounds terrible. Don't think about it.
It's just that's what you say when it's high tech.
It's probably AI. Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And for the second time this morning, we have chicken
nugget related news.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
This time it's about Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Taco Bell released Chris to be chicken nuggets last year
as a temporary menu item.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, that's not They're supposed to tacos, the Mexican food.
Chicken nuggets is for like McDonald's and places like that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I think it's occurred to them that maybe now that
you can get a taco almost anywhere, people don't really
need Taco Bell anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And if other people are selling tacos like at Dairy Queen,
then why can't chicken and nuggets be sold at Taco Bell?
And at least they do have chicken in There's just
no rules anymore, is there. I don't know. Hey, Taco
Bell just hits right once in a while.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I will tell you this, didn't I tell you this
after you're living in Texas for ten plus years. I
finally ate at a Taco Bell back in the Midwest
when I lived there, you know, twenty years ago. I
did a Taco Bell semi regularly because you couldn't get
a decent taco when you live in a small town.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh yeah, in Illinois. But down in the South, especially
in Texas, there's tacos everywhere. You don't need Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Have you ever had taco cabana? Yeah, it's okay, you
prefer bell. I don't like either of Them's the thing
you have to pick one of the other, which is
maybe they're both not your best, but which one's better
than the other.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And I'm a cabana guy. I prefer don't find them
as often. No, it's less popular. Well, that's why it's
more popular in my opinion, there's not so much of it.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The Taco Cabana is a little bougier than the Taco
Bell too exactly, and it has alcohol. They have alcohol there.
But just thinking about this food makes me just want
to fart all over the room.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Uh, too late?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
How come I go to Yeah, no, you're right. How
come you go to a regular taco place and you
don't have that problem? But you go to Taco Bell
and there's something about it. I don't know, is it
the preservatives? What are they doing to it that? Because
I can eat Tex Mex and I don't get gassy
for four days, But if I go to Taco Bell,
that's it. The week's done. I can't have a date
or anything. Got out, open every window in the apartment.
(16:47):
It's And of course, blame the dog. That's why I
got him. You know, that's the only reason Survivor's back.
And I guess that someone's on the show has four nipples,
probably a guy. The guy on Survivor has the humble
trade of four nipples.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Nubbus Sometimes the extra nipples are referred to as nubbins. Wow,
it's not that unusual to find somebody with like a
third nipple, nubbing, but four and is it placed you know,
like symmetrically or both nipples you look kind of like
on a dog or something, or are they in a row?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, that's a good the way that they describe it here,
because I'm not gonna watch ever, I'm just reading.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Is this their best way to get people to look
at these TV shows?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Four nipples is gonna do it? Drive them? Here's how
they sell it to you.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They're saying, there's a guy on the show named David
with six pack beach pod, but he's also got four nipples.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Uh huh. Well, if there was a girl the show
named Ronda and she had four nipples, I'd probably look
at that really, just you know, I'm funny like that.
I don't know. There's a SoundBite here. I don't even
want to listen to it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I think mostly just because I could never respect anyone
that's been on the TV show Survivor.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Do you know I should have stayed in beds too late? Now,
all right, people, let's get started. Is Walton and Johnson
Radio Network,
And things just kind of come together organically instead of
us having to you know, do like Hollywood does or
the Democrats and make everything, you know, like try to
force things. We were just talking to Congressman Wesley Hunt,
who you mentioned, a graduate of West Point, good friend
of the show. And then on this day in History,

west Point comes up. We'll we'll find out more about
that in a minute. And also we talked about cars
replacing horses, and on this day in History that will
be addressed as well.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I thought, I thought we all decided we weren't going
to do this Day in History or celebrity birthdays today
because it's Alamo Day.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's too somber of a day for that. No, actually
it's the perfect time, yeah, because we want to celebrate
the birth of you know, people that were born after
the Alamo. Well, you make the rules, and on side,
you're the guy. You know, you're the like the important

DJ Diesel. But I liked him most when he put
out his rap song what was it? Shoot past Slam?

(04:26):
know why they did the.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know what kind of at a like small like
that because back then large ones were considered to be
a character.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Flaw that and it was I believe it was white
alabasta they were using. It would have been ridiculous to
make a white one large.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, Today's National Oreo Day and No
Homework Day, isn't that exciting.
Speaker 2 (04:50):

Speaker 1 (04:58):

Speaker 2 (05:45):
My favorite Ann Rand quote for those that have never
read any of her books, Atlas Shrugged or what's the
other one the Fountain had Alice Shrugged is really the
good one.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Though famously once said I love this.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Men cannot be enslaved politically until they have been disarmed ideologically.
When they are so disarmed, it is the victims who
take the lead in the process of their own destruction.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Who I know.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That's so good. Doesn't that give you a giant liberty boner?
That's so good? Yeah? Why that was exciting?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
It's really good. Yeah, it's great today in this day
in history.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Today eighteen oh eight, Harvard found the was first college orchestra.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Where would we be without that? Without Harvard's orchestra? And
then yeah, that other thing we just mentioned eighteen thirty
one on this day, Oh sorry, hang on, producier girl.
Alan Poe was kicked out of West Point really military academy.
Apparently he refused to attend classes. I don't know why
he went there if he wasn't going to attend classes.
(06:46):
He wanted to write poems. Yeah, but it got himself
court martialed and seemed kind of deliberate. Maybe he didn't
like the environment, the aircut. I don't know. Today. In
eighteen thirty six, what happened in there? Batam Battle of
the Almo not Elmo Alamo. It's three syllables. I think
we're saying the same thing, Elmo. It came to an
(07:08):
end after thirteen days? Is it today?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And today when you visit the Alamo in downtown San
Antonio and you and you look over at the Wax
Museum and the Ripley's believe it or not, and the
naturally think of John Wayne and that parking garage. You
just know some stuff went down.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Here, man, Yeah, some stuff with Dell. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, today in eighteen ninety of the basement. That's a
pewe Herman reference.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, No, I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I get it today. In eighteen ninety nine, bay Or
Patten's aspirin.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Today.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
In nineteen twelve, Nabisco introduced the Oreo biscuit. Didn't they
steal the idea from high drocks? Yeah, and yet somehow
their's was better better.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, let's not skip over eighteen ninety six. We were
chatting earlier about how the car coming into fashion back
in the day took over from the horse and the
horse and buggy and all of that. Well, on this
date in eighteen ninety six, a guy named Charles King
(08:05):
drove the first car on the streets of Detroit. Eighteen
ninety six. Wow, And when the car broke down. This
is what the transition hadn't happened yet. When the car
broke down on the street blocking people that they yelled
at him to get a horse. Huh. And we didn't
(08:28):
stay there, did we. We managed to move on into
the full blown automobile world without having the government forcing
it on us.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The biggest surprise for him was moments later when it
was carjacked, because it's Detroit.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, that took that inevitable.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Today, in nineteen thirty Bird's Eye, frosted foods goes on
sale in retail stores for the first time.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We're frozen.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Well that's what it says today in nineteen oh frozen
Is that supposed to say f It says frosted here
today there's always typos.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I didn't know what it was today.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
In nineteen forty five, George Neeson of Cedar Bids, Iowa,
pattents the modern trampoline called a Nissan. Nissan is his name,
man I S.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
S n.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He made the trampoline to you nineteen forty five. So
you're telling me in the middle of World War two,
we got the Holocaust going on, we got Pearl Harbor,
we got all this different stuff. Not in nineteen forty
five was well that was what it just what gone
on for the last few years. Sure, and this guy George,
with all that happening, said, you know what we ought
to do?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
What do we really really need to focus on right now?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
We need to take a circular poll and attach it
to little springs and put a tarp over it and
jump on that.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, maybe that was his way of getting over that
Berlin wall.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, no, no, no, how do you know you weren't there.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I don't have to be there. Today.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Nineteen fifty Silly Putty introduced it at toy Fair in
New York City, And today, in nineteen sixty the Swiss
grant women the right to vote, but only in municipal elections.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well, you know, I'm smart to limit.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Today, in nineteen seventy three, Dick President Dick Nixon imposed
his price control on oil and gas, And today, in
nineteen eighty one, Walter Cronkite signs all from CBS.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
News And that's the way it was.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The same day that happened, Reagan announced plans for thirty
seven thousand federal jobs.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I think it was a mistake. I bet Kronkite wishes
he could get back in there and make that announcement.
But do I no, you quit, you're a quitter.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, you're gone now today and let's see nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You'll like this one.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The first and the best lethal weapon was released, the
first and though last.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
No, it is the best first, and oh, I mean
I think so.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Today in twenty twelve, the chicken McNugget resembling George Washington
sold for eighty one hundred dollars on eBay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You think they still got it? Man, what would she
even do with it? Put it in a little acrylic
display case and half people come over and they could
they could see. You could even charge people to see
something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And since it's a chicken McNugget, it's never gonna mold
or oh no, god no. Today in twenty twenty four,
Nikki Haley ends her bid to be the geped.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh what a shame. Yeah, we barely knew you, nicky.
She's doing these days?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Anything, you know, Probably just living off all that money
she gets from Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh yeah, don't don't stop the war.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Probably hanging out with that spook we saw on TV
the other day. What the CIA agent. Who that the
person that delivered the message for the Democrat Party?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You believe she was c I. She said she was
a CIA. Yeah she said that. You believe it? I mean, yeah,
of course obviously government sucks it. Don't stand Walton M. Johnson.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
There's a one armed college basketball player.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Why why are you laughing? No reason?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's not a joke. His name's uh Bailey Cinnamon Daniel
and he.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Was born with this is like a stripper name s.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I N A M A N. How would you say
that cinnamon sounds like cinnamon to me? Right, put your
hands together for cinnamon. Well you can't. He's only got
the one arm and so he wait, no way. She
she became the first female player with one arm to.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Didn't like read ahead of the story to know you
were talking a woman. No, I just found out about
this minute, just second game. A woman women's basketball. That's
never going to catch on, No anyway, She merely it
is a joke. She became the first one arm player
to make a basket in a Division three game. Here
she is talking about the exciting experience.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It is not very common to see somebody with one
arm playing basketball. I think there's probably about two or
three of us in the collegiate level. From what I
believe and from other people have told me, I am
the first Division three women's collegiate basketball player to make
a basket in a game the first time when I
shot the ball and.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It wait, wait pop, what is this up here on
the right side? Okay, so she has an arm. It's
just not it's like it's a short arm. Is that
a hand that's sort of a hand right like coming
right off of her shoulder or is it just a
you know, I don't know. We're we're looking at a
photo of her and some video of her in the
(12:57):
room right now, still shot. It's not moving.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
She doesn't have a full, like a long, full extended arm.
She has a shorter arm. But still, I mean, I
think it's it's an impressive accomplishment. The only thing I
didn't understand is.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
To take anything away from her. I was just curious
as to, you know, how much of an arm does
she have on the side where she didn't have an
arm a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I guess it's the shiny little like you know. Well,
first of all, it's always nothing. It's always inspired. When inspiring,
when people can overcome their well cores you know their
challenges in life and still succeed.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So that's great. Look look look at look at what
you've accomplished, Guinny.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I know I can't believe I'm here either. I should
have died a long time ago. We all know that.
But what I thought was remarkable about this SoundBite is
she says it's not uncommon to see somebody with one
arm in a basketball game like that, but that no
one had ever scored a point before, and.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Huh, what are they playing for? Then I can't be
that great on defense either. See, I could never score
a basket. That's why I don't play basketball. And I've
got two arms, so you know that.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
But you never put the ball in the hole you
went out on the on the playgrounds, it's a gym
in school or something.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You you've nibl sunkle basket.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Usually I would be playing basketball and then I would
make some wise crack about one of the kids that
was better at sports, and then I would find that
I'd spend the rest of recess or gym class or
whatever it was, running as fast as I could away
from wherever I said the comment at.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
We're trying to find a napkin or something to stop
the blood flow. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, well, you know, I never never, it never came
to that. I have this one talent because Ginny can run.
I can run run away. I don't have a lot,
but I could do that one thing. The makers of
Crystal Light have announced an upcoming alcoholic version.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is this for alcoholics? Isn't it powder? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Is there a non powder version of crystal How could
it have the alcohol already in it powdered out?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah? High tech stuff, artificial intelligence. Yeah, that's it AI.
It's AI crystal light. That sounds terrible. Don't think about it.
It's just that's what you say when it's high tech.
It's probably AI. Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And for the second time this morning, we have chicken
nugget related news.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
This time it's about Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Taco Bell released Chris to be chicken nuggets last year
as a temporary menu item.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, that's not They're supposed to tacos, the Mexican food.
Chicken nuggets is for like McDonald's and places like that.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I think it's occurred to them that maybe now that
you can get a taco almost anywhere, people don't really
need Taco Bell anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And if other people are selling tacos like at Dairy Queen,
then why can't chicken and nuggets be sold at Taco Bell?
And at least they do have chicken in There's just
no rules anymore, is there. I don't know. Hey, Taco
Bell just hits right once in a while.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I will tell you this, didn't I tell you this
after you're living in Texas for ten plus years. I
finally ate at a Taco Bell back in the Midwest
when I lived there, you know, twenty years ago. I
did a Taco Bell semi regularly because you couldn't get
a decent taco when you live in a small town.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh yeah, in Illinois. But down in the South, especially
in Texas, there's tacos everywhere. You don't need Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Have you ever had taco cabana? Yeah, it's okay, you
prefer bell. I don't like either of Them's the thing
you have to pick one of the other, which is
maybe they're both not your best, but which one's better
than the other.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And I'm a cabana guy. I prefer don't find them
as often. No, it's less popular. Well, that's why it's
more popular in my opinion, there's not so much of it.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The Taco Cabana is a little bougier than the Taco
Bell too exactly, and it has alcohol. They have alcohol there.
But just thinking about this food makes me just want
to fart all over the room.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Uh, too late?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
How come I go to Yeah, no, you're right. How
come you go to a regular taco place and you
don't have that problem? But you go to Taco Bell
and there's something about it. I don't know, is it
the preservatives? What are they doing to it that? Because
I can eat Tex Mex and I don't get gassy
for four days, But if I go to Taco Bell,
that's it. The week's done. I can't have a date
or anything. Got out, open every window in the apartment.
(16:47):
It's And of course, blame the dog. That's why I
got him. You know, that's the only reason Survivor's back.
And I guess that someone's on the show has four nipples,
probably a guy. The guy on Survivor has the humble
trade of four nipples.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Nubbus Sometimes the extra nipples are referred to as nubbins. Wow,
it's not that unusual to find somebody with like a
third nipple, nubbing, but four and is it placed you know,
like symmetrically or both nipples you look kind of like
on a dog or something, or are they in a row?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, that's a good the way that they describe it here,
because I'm not gonna watch ever, I'm just reading.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Is this their best way to get people to look
at these TV shows?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Four nipples is gonna do it? Drive them? Here's how
they sell it to you.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
They're saying, there's a guy on the show named David
with six pack beach pod, but he's also got four nipples.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Uh huh. Well, if there was a girl the show
named Ronda and she had four nipples, I'd probably look
at that really, just you know, I'm funny like that.
I don't know. There's a SoundBite here. I don't even
want to listen to it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I think mostly just because I could never respect anyone
that's been on the TV show Survivor.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Do you know I should have stayed in beds too late? Now,
all right, people, let's get started. Is Walton and Johnson
