Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is that like Meta does the universe inhale itself.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I think what happens is the Earth starts to spin
backwards and then sunrises in the west.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Wouldn't that be cool though, That'd.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be kind of fun for a change, this mix it
up a little bit every now and man, I'm just
getting sit and tired of seeing sunrise in the east
every day and day.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know now that you bring it up, there are
people that work in real estate. When you're buying a house,
they'll tell you that you want to live to the
east of where you work. That way, when you drive
to work in the morning, the sun's behind you.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Because have you ever driven into the sunrise or sunset
either way? I have been blinded. I literally couldn't see
anything in front of the car. When the sun reaches
a certain area. You can't even put the little visor
thing down in the way.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And now imagine every day that's just your life. Now, Well,
we got this email here from tx BBQ sixty five
and TX BBQ love that that's what you call yourself.
I'm a big fan of Texas barbecue myself. He wanted
to um, actually, us, you just made a claim about
the Panama Canal. You said, we had the Panama Canal
(01:09):
and then we gave it to Panama, or.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We spent all the money and people died and stuff building,
getting it all put together and everything, and then we said,
here here, Panama, it's yours.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Now. I don't guess we gave it away. Well, he
claims that's not true. He said, I hate to correct you,
but we sold the canal to Panama for one dollar.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Which would be giving it away basically. But yeah, if
you want to be one of those okay, okay, it's
a dollar. Okay, But here's the problem with that point,
and it doesn't really matter. All this is inconsequential. He's
not correct. I just I.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Just looked it up. There's a Newsweek fact check article.
The claim that Jimmy Carter sold the Panama Canal to
Panama for one dollar is false. The transfer of the
canal was part of a comprehensive diplomatic agreement, not a
financial transaction. The treaties facilitated a gradual transaction of control
by financial aid and training programs to ensure Panama's ability
(02:03):
to manage the canal. Carter's decision, while controversial, reflected a
broader commitment to equitable foreign policy and remains a pivotal
moment in the US Latin American relations. But no dollar
was ever exchanged. A dollar would have been way more
than what we got, right, a dollar more. No, we
didn't get anything. By the way, while we're on the
topic of the Panama Canal, Trump has made the claim
(02:27):
many times that we need to retake the Panama Canal
because otherwise China will control it, and then they'll control
one of the most important trade routes to the western
half of the world. Here, China's efforts to stop the
sale of a company that manages the Panama Canal ports
is proving Trump dead right about the strategically vital waterway.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's funny how many times that comes up. Well, it
turns out Trump was right about blank. Fill in the blank.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There's a Hong Kong based company called C. K. Hutchinson.
They operate two of the biggest ports in the Panama Canal,
very important there, and he is warning right now that
Beijing is trying to block US military and commercial shipping
from going through the canal. And that's China's doing it
with some puppet companies that they have in Hong Kong
(03:13):
that operates out of there, So that sounds kind of rude. Well,
not only does this affect our trade, our economy, this
could also affect national security. So Trump's right, Having Panama
Canal out of our hands means it's in China's hands,
whether you like it or not. They control it right now.
Even though they don't technically control it on paper, they
actually do.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Guessing that's not good for us or most of the
rest of the world for that matter.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now because China is bad.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You know what else China's up to? What's that they're
doing more than war games? They out there in the
water all around tai Wo.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And they do it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They're doing they little war games and putting on the show,
letting the world know anytime we won't do baby, we're
coming to get you.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, that's the East China Sea over there by what's
called the Luzzen Straight and South China see in the
Philippines Sea, and they're just out there. Will he Nelly's
splashing around, showing off all the equipment they have. That's rude,
rude with the money we gave him, It's like when
you break up with a girl and then the guy
that starts staying that girl he used to be your
friend shows up with the girl at your party. It
(04:17):
starts walking around and then he like puts his hand
on his on her butt just to shut Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh her, but not yours? Well probably not. Yeah, okay,
but you know, you know, thank me for some of
the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I guess, so, yeah, I mean why not you could
at least give me some selfies or something, you.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Know, breaking sports update to share with you. And believe me,
I hate to have to bring this kind of racism
to the show because this is the kindd of thing.
It just it divides people. And we're not about dividing.
We by unifying. Yeah, we're about love. We're about getting
it to Gell. The baby always have been. Uh Caitlyn Clark.
I don't know if you remember that name from back
(04:52):
in the day.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Uh, the most famous female athlete on Earth. Yeah, yeah,
that's her.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Caitlyn Clark broke a another record, this time in women's
sports cards, not car like an automobile sports cards.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh, her trading cards. This isn't about the Pokemon card.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Separate her rookie card featuring her signature or pictured. All
that stuff just sold for three hundred and sixty six
thousand dollars at auction this past weekend. It's the most
anybody's ever paid for a woman's trading card beating Serena Williams.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Serena Williams had a trading card. Oh my god, she
beat a black woman. Oh my god, they have tennis
trading card. My god, who knew.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Trading card not only beat it but beat it by
like one hundred thousand dollars. That's just that's just racism,
pure and simple. That's all that is. It's racism for
Caitlin Clark to take that money, and this racism for
the card company to even put the car out now
that they got a Serena Cord, what else do you need?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But no, that's what they've done. There's probably also some
argument to be made here about how a white woman
rescued a black sport, but a black woman rescued a
white sport. Okay, And one of these things has proved
to be more consequential than the other. But I don't
know which side to take. I don't care at all.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
On the same day the Dead Cord traded the lebron
James Cord went for one point one.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Five nine million dollars. So, uh take that, ladies. Huh.
So it's just like the WNBA. It's exactly the same
thing the trading card company. The only difference is they
didn't lose money on the Caitlin Clark card. It actually
made money, of course, it just didn't make nearly as much.
Isn't it interesting how some of these athletes are popular
(06:48):
in foreign countries where it seems like that sport doesn't
even exist. During commercial break, we do a lot of
weird stuff around here. But one thing we were doing
a few minutes ago during commercial was looking at the
cost of housing the Panama Canal.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, we thought, you know, things going well, if the
Chinese don't end up taking it over, maybe something to.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Look forward to. We were looking at pictures of the
Panama Canal, which doesn't look like something you'd want to
swim in we're going on vacation, but often the background
there they had all these high rise apartments and I thought, well, yeah,
they look very nice. Wonder who lives there? Probably Chinese oligarchs.
Oh wonder what they caused. That sounded to be unfortunate.
So we look it up and like the cheapest one was,
I think six hundred thousand dollars. Most of them were
(07:29):
a few million. They come with a private pool. It's like, oh,
this is where wealthy Chinese oligarchs live while they're controlling
our trade routes. Apparently cool. And one of the things
we noticed is we were looking at it is one
of them at a private basketball court with Lebron James's
giant mural on the wall, just.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like shoulder head, and it's kind of like a bust
but painted huge wall, and.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It reminded me people in China really love American basketball.
That's not I guess sure. I mean, it's possible a
Panamanium put that there, but I'm gonna guess. I'm just
gonna climb out on a limb here and guess some
guy from China loved American basketball and in his head
he thought, oh, I'll go live in Panama. It's closer
to American basketball. There's still no American basketball happening down there, no,
(08:14):
but to him, that's as close as he'd ever been.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I guess we're gonna get some NFL action down there, though. Huh, Well,
they're going to Abu Dhabi, sending it off to the
Middle East and Ireland or wherever scanning it, well, we
bound to get one on a Panama Canal.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, that'll be interesting to look at that NFL game.
The only thing I can't understand is how are you
gonna play football in the water like that? I don't
get it. If someone try blackmail me with advertising, Blackmaily
with money for yourself, but go yourself? Is that clear?
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson all Right, it looks
(08:53):
like he's done well.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I was just curious because when we started the show
this morning, Corey Booker was working. I guess, well, he
was talking and that's his job, kind of like us.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But he's not quite as popular. Okay, Corey Booker, For
those who don't remember, he's the guy that pretended to
be the heteronormative life partner of Rosario Dawson so he
could run for a president. Let's see here, Senator Corey
Booker's fifteen hour speech highlights recklessness of Trump's policies, so
it's not technically a filibuster. He just talked all night. Yeah,
(09:27):
began at seven pm, and it seems like he's done.
If he's still doing it, I don't know where it
must be over, but I don't know. I don't see
any official confirmation of that, So I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Just curious if he was still up there talking. Nobody
cares what he was saying. It doesn't matter. He's just
trying to accomplish something. The Democrats said that they don't do.
They hate it when Republicans are in charge of stuff. Oh,
they're fine with it, but then they want to get
rid of it. I don't know what they want.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Here we go. Someone a journalist about two hours ago
that I follow tweeted out congrats to Corey Booker for
wasting twelve hours of his life speaking to no one.
Want nobody, Oh, he just wants He has a few fans. Well,
there are a couple other senators who That's a clip
of Fox and Friends from earlier. It doesn't actually include
him talking. People are wondering what was he philipbustering? What
(10:17):
he was doing was philipbuster like, But it wasn't a philipbuster, sure,
because he wasn't actually preventing a vote or anything from happening.
But for the record, I'm sure he accomplished pretty much nothing. Wait,
it's April Fol's Day. He accomplished something. Oh sure, he
did he's now president. Hey a fool, and there are
(10:38):
one hundred and twenty genders, and Joe Biden's the greatest
president in modern history, naturally, and Kamala is the real
winner at the twenty twenty four election, and the government
should own all the guns. And January sixth was an
insurrection and the government's your friend. And Corey Booker is
the smartest man alive. Sure, April fools, all that works.
Just today, Today's the thirty fifth anniversary of HA, which
(11:02):
actually as a TV network everybody here has probably watched
before and you just don't realize it. Oh, like I
get HA. They changed the name to Comedy Central about
a year later. But today. In nineteen ninety April first,
HA went on the air. It was an all comedy
network and it was mostly stand up comedy that featured
people like John Stewart and Phil Hartman. Before you would
(11:25):
have even known who they were, right, Yeah, we watched
a clip of it during commercial could even recognize them physically.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They didn't even look like themselves. It's been so long,
so the Comedy Channel had merged, had launched the year before,
and then on April first, nineteen ninety one, the two
of them merged together and became Comedy Central, And apparently
that was all that happened thirty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
According to this the guy that started the network, one
of the comedians, Drake Sather, invented the Zoolander character and
co wrote the movie, and he and Hartman Phil Hartman
both died of gunshot wounds. A very young Rob Schneider
and Dana Gould could be seen in a promo video.
Here's a little audio of it the new TV Comedy Network.
(12:10):
I went to a funeral the other day. It was
kind of embarrassing. I had on the same outfit as
the corpse. Don't ask me why the corps had on
the guns and roses T shirt.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I used to be a busboy in a restaurant and
people were always coming up to me and saying, what
else do you do?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And I'd say I'm a comedian.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
And they'd go, oh, And now I'm doing comedy and
people are always coming up to me and saying what
else do you do? And I say, oh, I'm a
busboy and they go, really where? Maybe we'll come see
a bus sometime. So while I like the TV Comedy Network,
I'd really like to see a busboy comedy network because
it's always been my goal to make people laugh and
clear away their half masticated refuse. I'm a dreamer.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, comedy was different back in those days you picked
up Could you say that again? I want to make
sure everyone heard you. Comedy was different back in the day. Okay.
So unlike music, comedy does not age well. If you
put on Wagner right now, I would imagine it would
make you feel the same way it made you feel
back then. But if I played a Lenny Bruce comedy
(13:11):
album right now, would you even get that it was
a comedy album? Probably not? What No the loan Have
you ever heard him do the loan ranger? I don't
understand it at all, and I want to like it
because he's important to the free speech laws in this country.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
A nonconformist and all of that, which didn't really sound
that funny.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, Lenny Bruce on communism here, Well.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
First off, t why capitalism is the best? It's free enterprise,
boder Gimbals. If I could read a rank with a clerk.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't like this. How I can resolve it? If
it really gets ridiculous like a frigate man, I walk.
What can this guy I do at Gimbals?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Even if goes the president of Gimbals, he can always
reject me from that store. But I can always go
to Macy's. Can't really hurt me in Communism is like
one big phone company government control man. And if I
get tool ranked with that phone company, where can I go? Man,
I'll end up like a schmuck with a dixie cup
and a thread.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's what I've had it. Well, that wouldn't too good,
was it. Guys? I don't understand what I just listened to,
and I have that file on my computer for a reason.
I guess I don't understand. I don't I want to
like it. I don't get it. It's like I hate
when I don't understand. It's like golf. I don't get
what's so exciting about cah I went. I've been at
the park all weekend looking at people waiting in line.
(14:35):
There was one black guy out there waiting in line
with all the white guys, and I just had to
wonder what did he do to earn their respect? You know,
do you think any of those golfers ever think what
you do is a waste of time? Yeah? And they're right. Sure, no,
there's no doubt. I'm just running in a circle out
there for what to avoid therapy? What's the point of that?
That seems a little odd. It wouldn't it be easier
to just lay down on a couch and talk to
(14:56):
some lady? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Nah, well just talk to whatever lady you invite over tonight.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah. Well yeah, that's actually a great idea, mister Kenneth,
for a gay guy. You know, how you work some
pretty good ideas.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Somebody sent us a group of hilarious memes, because the
memes is really how we communicate today.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Sure, that's how you get your point across.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And this one is for those of you who always
so pessimistic. There's nothing ever good happens. There's just no
hope left for humanity. When you think there's no hope
left in your life, just remember the lobsters in the
tank on the Titanic's restaurant.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Man, you're onto something.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Then.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You know, those guys had a particularly good day, didn't they.
You're right, they all thought they were gonna die, and
then the next thing they know, didn't give up, and
then the seawater came point in. Yay, you know, it's
so strange, but I needed to hear that right now.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yes, people need a little more of that pick me
up in their life.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's why we're here on that note. While we're air today,
the trial for the man accused of killing Rachel Moran
will begin. This is the Rachel.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I've lost track of all these young women that have
been killed recently.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Well, there was Joscelyn Hungary and Lake and Riley, but
then the other one that got a lot of attention
was Rachel morn. She's a very pretty blonde mother of
five children. Wise, yes, I mean she'll always be their mom.
But and she was murdered while she was I think
she was out for a job. She went running and
this happened in Maryland. And anyway, the trial is starting
(16:32):
this week, so that'd be well, there's nothing to say
about it yet. I think they just did pre trial
stuff yesterday parting it up. But it's going to be
in the news for a little bit. Yeah, so we
will certainly be covering that. And boy, the prosecutor thinks
this is going to be an open and shut case.
The illegal accused of murdering Rachel Morin will have to
face down the slain Joggers family in court this week.
(16:54):
They're going to all be in the same place at
the same time, a court. Yeah yeah, but that's it's
always a tense moment when you see all them in
the room looking at each other, and you know what
it took, call the different strange circumstances the universe had
to unfold for them to be in that place together.
It's just terrible. On that note, pray love God, appreciate
your time on earth. We don't always have it. Tomorrow,
(17:15):
be a lobster in the tank and pray for the
boat to think. I'll endorse it.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yay, john don't forget boys and girls to eat it
every day.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Hey again, you've reached the end of the Walton and
Johnson podcast. Good for you. That means you listened all
the way to the end. Does it mean we're going
away now never to be heard again. No, no, no,
there will be a new show tomorrow. Oh thank goodness,
unless it's the weekend or we're off work. But as always,
you could go to waltonand Johnson dot com and you
could find all kinds of cool stuff there, our news blog,
links to our social media accounts. Believe it or not.
(17:48):
Our personal lives are very boring. If you comment on
our social media pages, we might reply yeah. Chances are
we're just sitting around waiting to hear from you. Yeah, so,
what's the big deal. Go to Walton Johnson dot com today.
I'm told there's a store. Oh yes, we do have
a lovely store and you could buy things there. Wellnon
Johnson dot com. What's not to love.
Is that like Meta does the universe inhale itself.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I think what happens is the Earth starts to spin
backwards and then sunrises in the west.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Wouldn't that be cool though, That'd.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be kind of fun for a change, this mix it
up a little bit every now and man, I'm just

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Trading card not only beat it but beat it by
like one hundred thousand dollars. That's just that's just racism,
pure and simple. That's all that is. It's racism for
Caitlin Clark to take that money, and this racism for
the card company to even put the car out now
that they got a Serena Cord, what else do you need?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But no, that's what they've done. There's probably also some
argument to be made here about how a white woman
rescued a black sport, but a black woman rescued a
white sport. Okay, And one of these things has proved
to be more consequential than the other. But I don't
know which side to take. I don't care at all.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
On the same day the Dead Cord traded the lebron
James Cord went for one point one.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Five nine million dollars. So, uh take that, ladies. Huh.
So it's just like the WNBA. It's exactly the same
thing the trading card company. The only difference is they
didn't lose money on the Caitlin Clark card. It actually
made money, of course, it just didn't make nearly as much.
Isn't it interesting how some of these athletes are popular
(06:48):
in foreign countries where it seems like that sport doesn't
even exist. During commercial break, we do a lot of
weird stuff around here. But one thing we were doing
a few minutes ago during commercial was looking at the
cost of housing the Panama Canal.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, we thought, you know, things going well, if the
Chinese don't end up taking it over, maybe something to.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Look forward to. We were looking at pictures of the
Panama Canal, which doesn't look like something you'd want to
swim in we're going on vacation, but often the background
there they had all these high rise apartments and I thought, well, yeah,
they look very nice. Wonder who lives there? Probably Chinese oligarchs.
Oh wonder what they caused. That sounded to be unfortunate.
So we look it up and like the cheapest one was,
I think six hundred thousand dollars. Most of them were
(07:29):
a few million. They come with a private pool. It's like, oh,
this is where wealthy Chinese oligarchs live while they're controlling
our trade routes. Apparently cool. And one of the things
we noticed is we were looking at it is one
of them at a private basketball court with Lebron James's
giant mural on the wall, just.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like shoulder head, and it's kind of like a bust
but painted huge wall, and.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It reminded me people in China really love American basketball.
That's not I guess sure. I mean, it's possible a
Panamanium put that there, but I'm gonna guess. I'm just
gonna climb out on a limb here and guess some
guy from China loved American basketball and in his head
he thought, oh, I'll go live in Panama. It's closer
to American basketball. There's still no American basketball happening down there, no,
(08:14):
but to him, that's as close as he'd ever been.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I guess we're gonna get some NFL action down there, though. Huh, Well,
they're going to Abu Dhabi, sending it off to the
Middle East and Ireland or wherever scanning it, well, we
bound to get one on a Panama Canal.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, that'll be interesting to look at that NFL game.
The only thing I can't understand is how are you
gonna play football in the water like that? I don't
get it. If someone try blackmail me with advertising, Blackmaily
with money for yourself, but go yourself? Is that clear?
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson all Right, it looks
(08:53):
like he's done well.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I was just curious because when we started the show
this morning, Corey Booker was working. I guess, well, he
was talking and that's his job, kind of like us.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But he's not quite as popular. Okay, Corey Booker, For
those who don't remember, he's the guy that pretended to
be the heteronormative life partner of Rosario Dawson so he
could run for a president. Let's see here, Senator Corey
Booker's fifteen hour speech highlights recklessness of Trump's policies, so
it's not technically a filibuster. He just talked all night. Yeah,
(09:27):
began at seven pm, and it seems like he's done.
If he's still doing it, I don't know where it
must be over, but I don't know. I don't see
any official confirmation of that, So I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Just curious if he was still up there talking. Nobody
cares what he was saying. It doesn't matter. He's just
trying to accomplish something. The Democrats said that they don't do.
They hate it when Republicans are in charge of stuff. Oh,
they're fine with it, but then they want to get
rid of it. I don't know what they want.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Here we go. Someone a journalist about two hours ago
that I follow tweeted out congrats to Corey Booker for
wasting twelve hours of his life speaking to no one.
Want nobody, Oh, he just wants He has a few fans. Well,
there are a couple other senators who That's a clip
of Fox and Friends from earlier. It doesn't actually include
him talking. People are wondering what was he philipbustering? What
(10:17):
he was doing was philipbuster like, But it wasn't a philipbuster, sure,
because he wasn't actually preventing a vote or anything from happening.
But for the record, I'm sure he accomplished pretty much nothing. Wait,
it's April Fol's Day. He accomplished something. Oh sure, he
did he's now president. Hey a fool, and there are
(10:38):
one hundred and twenty genders, and Joe Biden's the greatest
president in modern history, naturally, and Kamala is the real
winner at the twenty twenty four election, and the government
should own all the guns. And January sixth was an
insurrection and the government's your friend. And Corey Booker is
the smartest man alive. Sure, April fools, all that works.
Just today, Today's the thirty fifth anniversary of HA, which
(11:02):
actually as a TV network everybody here has probably watched
before and you just don't realize it. Oh, like I
get HA. They changed the name to Comedy Central about
a year later. But today. In nineteen ninety April first,
HA went on the air. It was an all comedy
network and it was mostly stand up comedy that featured
people like John Stewart and Phil Hartman. Before you would
(11:25):
have even known who they were, right, Yeah, we watched
a clip of it during commercial could even recognize them physically.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They didn't even look like themselves. It's been so long,
so the Comedy Channel had merged, had launched the year before,
and then on April first, nineteen ninety one, the two
of them merged together and became Comedy Central, And apparently
that was all that happened thirty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
According to this the guy that started the network, one
of the comedians, Drake Sather, invented the Zoolander character and
co wrote the movie, and he and Hartman Phil Hartman
both died of gunshot wounds. A very young Rob Schneider
and Dana Gould could be seen in a promo video.
Here's a little audio of it the new TV Comedy Network.
(12:10):
I went to a funeral the other day. It was
kind of embarrassing. I had on the same outfit as
the corpse. Don't ask me why the corps had on
the guns and roses T shirt.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I used to be a busboy in a restaurant and
people were always coming up to me and saying, what
else do you do?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And I'd say I'm a comedian.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
And they'd go, oh, And now I'm doing comedy and
people are always coming up to me and saying what
else do you do? And I say, oh, I'm a
busboy and they go, really where? Maybe we'll come see
a bus sometime. So while I like the TV Comedy Network,
I'd really like to see a busboy comedy network because
it's always been my goal to make people laugh and
clear away their half masticated refuse. I'm a dreamer.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, comedy was different back in those days you picked
up Could you say that again? I want to make
sure everyone heard you. Comedy was different back in the day. Okay.
So unlike music, comedy does not age well. If you
put on Wagner right now, I would imagine it would
make you feel the same way it made you feel
back then. But if I played a Lenny Bruce comedy
(13:11):
album right now, would you even get that it was
a comedy album? Probably not? What No the loan Have
you ever heard him do the loan ranger? I don't
understand it at all, and I want to like it
because he's important to the free speech laws in this country.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
A nonconformist and all of that, which didn't really sound
that funny.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, Lenny Bruce on communism here, Well.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
First off, t why capitalism is the best? It's free enterprise,
boder Gimbals. If I could read a rank with a clerk.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't like this. How I can resolve it? If
it really gets ridiculous like a frigate man, I walk.
What can this guy I do at Gimbals?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Even if goes the president of Gimbals, he can always
reject me from that store. But I can always go
to Macy's. Can't really hurt me in Communism is like
one big phone company government control man. And if I
get tool ranked with that phone company, where can I go? Man,
I'll end up like a schmuck with a dixie cup
and a thread.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's what I've had it. Well, that wouldn't too good,
was it. Guys? I don't understand what I just listened to,
and I have that file on my computer for a reason.
I guess I don't understand. I don't I want to
like it. I don't get it. It's like I hate
when I don't understand. It's like golf. I don't get
what's so exciting about cah I went. I've been at
the park all weekend looking at people waiting in line.
(14:35):
There was one black guy out there waiting in line
with all the white guys, and I just had to
wonder what did he do to earn their respect? You know,
do you think any of those golfers ever think what
you do is a waste of time? Yeah? And they're right. Sure, no,
there's no doubt. I'm just running in a circle out
there for what to avoid therapy? What's the point of that?
That seems a little odd. It wouldn't it be easier
to just lay down on a couch and talk to
(14:56):
some lady? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Nah, well just talk to whatever lady you invite over tonight.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah. Well yeah, that's actually a great idea, mister Kenneth,
for a gay guy. You know, how you work some
pretty good ideas.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Somebody sent us a group of hilarious memes, because the
memes is really how we communicate today.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Sure, that's how you get your point across.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And this one is for those of you who always
so pessimistic. There's nothing ever good happens. There's just no
hope left for humanity. When you think there's no hope
left in your life, just remember the lobsters in the
tank on the Titanic's restaurant.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Man, you're onto something.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Then.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You know, those guys had a particularly good day, didn't they.
You're right, they all thought they were gonna die, and
then the next thing they know, didn't give up, and
then the seawater came point in. Yay, you know, it's
so strange, but I needed to hear that right now.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yes, people need a little more of that pick me
up in their life.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's why we're here on that note. While we're air today,
the trial for the man accused of killing Rachel Moran
will begin. This is the Rachel.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I've lost track of all these young women that have
been killed recently.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Well, there was Joscelyn Hungary and Lake and Riley, but
then the other one that got a lot of attention
was Rachel morn. She's a very pretty blonde mother of
five children. Wise, yes, I mean she'll always be their mom.
But and she was murdered while she was I think
she was out for a job. She went running and
this happened in Maryland. And anyway, the trial is starting
(16:32):
this week, so that'd be well, there's nothing to say
about it yet. I think they just did pre trial
stuff yesterday parting it up. But it's going to be
in the news for a little bit. Yeah, so we
will certainly be covering that. And boy, the prosecutor thinks
this is going to be an open and shut case.
The illegal accused of murdering Rachel Morin will have to
face down the slain Joggers family in court this week.
(16:54):
They're going to all be in the same place at
the same time, a court. Yeah yeah, but that's it's
always a tense moment when you see all them in
the room looking at each other, and you know what
it took, call the different strange circumstances the universe had
to unfold for them to be in that place together.
It's just terrible. On that note, pray love God, appreciate
your time on earth. We don't always have it. Tomorrow,
(17:15):
be a lobster in the tank and pray for the
boat to think. I'll endorse it.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yay, john don't forget boys and girls to eat it
every day.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
