Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is it Friday yet? No? One more day? But oh man,
well it's Friday Eve. I'll take it. Yeah, okay, Friday Eve.
We got that.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And on this Friday Eve we hear at your favorite
morning show, we'd like to start the broadcast off with
these simple words. F those penguins.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, which penguins specifically are we talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
We're talking about the penguins on Herd Island and McDonald.
It's a tiny island in the South Indian Sea with
a population of zero people, inhabited only by penguins, and
the Trump administration just put a ten percent tariff on
it and.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
If they don't like it, well there's not much they
can do about it, really.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Right, And some people are saying, why, what's the point.
These penguins are absolute a holes. I don't doubt it.
I've always thought penguins just have that look on their face.
They just look like they're dicks. You know, you're probably thinking,
what's the tariff gonna do? These penguins had it coming.
Look at that one. We got a picture. I'm on
the screen here.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Oh he's smirking for sure. You know, these penguins.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We've been helping him out for years what if they've
given us nothing. They've given us not a thing. Nope,
not a dime one. We go down there once in
a while, we do. We scrub them down when they're
covered in oil.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And do they ever think us No?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, Do you know how much money we've spent on
dish detergent washing these penguins.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
We get nothing back in return. And you name that
particular dish detergent, Dawn that seems to be the only
one that cuts the grease.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Is it possible that Dawn is giving out free dish detergents.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's quite possible. You know, they've got to deal with
somebody in the United States government. Perhaps just make sure
it's Dawn, even if it's not. Call it that.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
A very long time ago, I learned the lesson that
you got to give your dog those flea and heartworm pills.
And the way I learned that was I took my
dog to a dog park. He'd never had fleas, but
while she was felony old dog, and I brought her
home and I was like, oh, there's bugs all over
the dog. So the vet immediately tells me, oh, I
just wash it and down dish detergent. It's like, what
(02:10):
about what about generic Kroger brand, which is like, it's
the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Well, then why'd you say? Don? Good question? So Don's
got some pretty good lobbyists, probably pretty good pr people.
They're they're working it right exactly. Probably the first time
it came up, it was just really naturally dawned that
they had that they were using, and somebody at the
dish washing company said, Aha, we gotta give we gotta
(02:37):
get in on this, we gotta make sure it's down
every time.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, I'll tell you what, Penguins of the Herd Island
and McDonald if you ever want to get washed again
in a name brand detergent, you'd better damn well start
paying that ten percent tariff or reciprocate us.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, yeah, I like being reciprocated. You know what, I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Something, you know what, who do you think you are?
F those penguins. I can't stand these penguins. I hate them.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I feel like you got that out of your system.
Now you can move on, I mean, for now it's
gonna build up again. I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Look, a lot of people in the world stage don't
respect us China. I ran obviously some of our allies
in the Arab countries. But nobody has shown us more
disrespect than the penguins have Heard Island and McDonald's Island.
I'm happy to see them finally get crushed by our tariffs.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Finally, it's about time.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Last night, when I laid my head down to go
to sleep, I had a little anxiety, as many people
often do, you know, and I just thought about those
penguins on that island finally getting there, just dessert, finally,
and I haven't slept that good in years. So thank
you President Trump for crushing these penguins.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Speaking of Dawn, we're still about an hour half away
from from good old dawn, the sunrise, not the musical
group or the dishwashing liquid. They made a musical group
out of that. Tony Orlando and Dawn. Huh. You ever
hear tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree? Yeah,
(04:05):
that's there? Okay, Well, Tony Orlando was accompanied by two
lovely young ladies.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Was that about honoring vets or was it about Dawn?
What was the point of that song?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Exact? Making money? Huh? So early morning, just us hanging out,
all us little Nazis. I just want to say good
morning all your little Nazis out there, and if you
wonder if if you are one or not, well, California
State Assembly says, if you don't want boys playing girls
(04:37):
sports and going in girls' bathrooms and doing whatever else
the hell boys want to do with girls, if you're
opposed to that in some way, you're a Nazi. And
they've gotten to the point where you've really taken the
staying out of being called a Nazi, haven't they?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You know absolutely that, Yes, But let's go ahead and
pick at that scab a little more since they're making
us do it. I don't know if you guys are
history of buffs out there or not, but apparently these
Nazis back in the mid to early twentieth century used
to do medical experiments on children.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Are you aware of this. I've heard something along those lines. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And the people that are against the transgender procedures on
kids are by definition against medical experiments on children. MM.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Now, so well, hypocrites. Remember, So if anyone's.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
The Nazi here, I feel like it would not be
the people that are against experimenting on children with medical treatments.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Go back and find that research that you studied, and
look further, and you'll see somewhere along the way they
rounded up a bunch of Jews and then they concentrated
them into some sort of a camp of some kind, really,
and then they forced the girls to play sports against
some of the boys. Really, it was the worst, worst
kind of treatment you've ever seen. It was horrific.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And you know, it's my understanding that they're also saying
that Elon Musk is a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I just look, I believe them because why would they lie?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Obviously obviously, but I couldn't help but notice that Elon
Musk is trying to reduce the size of government. Yeah,
and then he is immediately going to step away from
his role having any kind of political power. Which historic
fascist or Nazi leader reduced the size of government and
then relinquished power before leaving office.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Checked with California, I guess, because they know, oh yeah,
they know. Ye. I would someone do a radio show
on a Thursday Walton and Johnson Radio Network Early. I
know a lot of people were hoping you you kind
of got that off your chest and left it behind.
But it seems to be gnawing at you some from
somewhere deep inside your soul.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's going to be an ongoing theme on today's show.
It's gonna get to the point where you're gonna get
sick of hearing about it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Okay, we're there, No look at that. We just made it. Well.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You know, if you don't like it, then you could wish. Hey,
it could be worse. It could be Roger Daltrey.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What is said is that the yeah Rogers said, these
penguins seem to get all dressed up and then have
nowhere to go. Are they just showboating? Is that their deal?
They're just like I just want to look good for
no particular reason. They're like cosmopolitan penguins. I guess. I
don't know what.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Other things about Trump putting tariffs on an island occupied
one hundred percent by penguins is that it will give
people the opportunity to tell a lot of dad jokes.
Oh yeah, I notice there are a lot of jokes
about penguins, like how do you know newspapers for penguins
that are dead because it's black and white and red
all over.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, I forgot about that. That was a that's an oldie.
I think you told it kind of backwards, but it's
still you know, I.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Couldn't I even't heard that joke since always seven get it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I can't believe I remembered it.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I know anyway, all right, So a little bit of
racism in the news today coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You hit and run on Roger Daltrey. Oh yeah, Roger Daltry.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
For those that are not aware, there was a famous
band they still exist called The Who. It's a live version.
Oh immediately hate that. Can we get the not live version?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
There we go? Thank you? All right.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So Roger Daltrey is going blind to deaf, and I
know that sounds bad, but two things. He's in his
mid eighties. Thing number one and thing number two. Haven't
there historically been some famous musicians that were deaf, some
more Beethoven or Bach or some one of them Mozart,
Sebastian Bach of skid Row, he was famously blind to
(08:28):
deaf when he wrote his concerto.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Uh Let's stick with Beethoven for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Sure and anyway, so it's still sad though. Port Roger
Daltrey made that announcement at a concert the other day.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He also had a I guess it was him. He
said it about himself, so it's a bit of a
sense of humor. He said he's he's becoming Tommy. Oh man,
that's such an interesting point. The Pinball Wizard. Now he
can still sing, he can't hear or see. So two
out of three Tommy was deaf, dumb, and blind, so
(09:01):
couldn't talk either, and stupid dumb, really dumb. Yeah that
used to mean something else.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, still does. I don't think most people.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Realize that deaf, domb and blind doesn't mean he was,
you know, the idiot. I mean he was, Yeah, just
means he couldn't talk or sing. So Roger's got that
going for him.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I'm glad you didn't make the noise for the you
know the noise. Yeah, deaf, dumb and blind people when
being portrayed in a musical or a movie or people.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
How would that go? I'm not familiar. Well, uh, well,
I guess they can't offend them. Help me here with it. Yeah, no,
you're you're certainly not gonna offend too many deaf people
unless there's somebody in the room with him that's signing
our show explaining it to him. I doubt it. It's
kind of like Helen Keller. You can make fun of
Helen Keller.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She wasn't real first of all, and second of all,
even if she was, how's she going to know?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's like or the Amish guy.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Ahead, Amish people, you can pick on them all you
want on a radio show.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
What if they're listening to a you know, a radio
that has been powered by a foot pedal, like on
Gilligan's Island. You know, I don't know the rules is that?
I don't either, but I don't know. It sounds like
they could. They could probably get away with that. That
would be like they made it out of a coconut. Sure.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, all in my years of working in terrestrial broadcast radio,
I've never once seen a coconut radio.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And I think it's time to change that. Maybe we
should give him away as prizes.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Or is there a person out there that knows how
to you know, wire together a transistor radio with a coconut.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And he used to work here but he retired. Oh Bob,
Bob could have done it. He quit on Friday. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Do you think Bob still wakes up at four in
the morning in a cold sweat, thinking wonder Kenny can't
get his computer to turn on?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Probably if the phone ever does ring at four thirty
or five in the morning, he's sure it's you, all right.
You know we probably should call him and every now
and then, you know, wake him up. Just remember when
we used to do this all the time. All Right,
you're retired, go back to sleep. For those that do
keep up with the show too closely.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Besides Billy ed, our other engineer, our other longtime engineer
was a cool guy named Bob Stroop.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
He retired on Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
He's been in this industry since I think Wolfman Jack's
first day in radio, Bob Bob's And he's just a
great guy, just brilliant, nice, pleasant, always has a funny joke.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He told a joke at his going away party. Always funny, Well,
I always as a joke. They're not always that funny.
But he's not listening. You can't offend him.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I love Bob. He's a great guy. Bob would Bob
would tell jokes that would should I tell it on
the air. His going away party joke was great. Okay,
So what's the hardest part about doing AIDS research on mice?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Oh? Gee, I don't know, getting the mice to each other,
especially the boy mice. Well that was the.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Joke, sure, but maybe the words should have been sodomized.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Anyway, don't anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So for those that don't ever want why the equipment
is working worse than usual, it's because the only guy
at our company that was qualified to operate this stuff
no longer works here.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So yep.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, anyway, Tariffs are now a thing, and you will
probably have a liberal coworker, maybe your cat loving aunt Kathy,
or your your neighbor that just turns on the news
once every four years to have Trump arrangement syndrome, tell
you today, the tariffs are bad.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
They're awful, They're terrible. Nobody likes a tariff, and the
stock market's prove of that. I mean, the stock market's down.
I think it's gonna zero out. I think the stock
market's just gonna go down to zero a Nasdaq SMP,
you know New York Exchange. I think it's all just
gonna it's all just gonna go away.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now Here is the intellectual ammunition you will need to
combat that remark. Your coworker, your liberal aunt, whoever says
tariffs are bad, and you say, yes, we agree, that's
the point, and they're not going to know what to say.
You just told them they're right, have already proved your argument.
Tariffs are bad and our trade partners, the friendliest trade
partners we supposedly have not even our enemies have trade
(13:08):
deals with us where we're paying absurd tariffs to sell
them things and they're not paying any tariffs to sell
us stuff. And it's been that way forever.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
There's tariffs going on all around the world, every country
he is doing. I was a little surprised Israel has
tariffs on us Israel. I mean, think about all the
countries that we either assist with our money or just
completely support, and to those countries that take our money, yeah,
(13:38):
then charge us more for tariffs on our goods.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And to that point, Israel was one of the first
countries to say they would take the necessary steps to
get rid of the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So and doesn't that prove right now that these tariffs
are already working Day one, Canada already came out. Guy
in Canada's like, hey, we're happy to you know, take
ours off if you'll remove these. It worked in the
first hour, right, But of course tariffs are still bad,
but only the tariffs that we impose on others, not
(14:11):
the ones that we have to pay. And the guy
that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
By the way, was in Canada was Randy Ford dug
Ford that's his name, which was Rob Ford's brother, And
for those that don't remember, he's the former mayor of Toronto.
He was a treat and they all smoked crack. So
if a crackhead could figure this out, I'm pretty sure
every other country could figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Everyone gather around what days. Well, let's see, it's Thursday, right, Well,
it's only the best day of the year. Wilton and
Johnson Radio Network,
Is it Friday yet? No? One more day? But oh man,
well it's Friday Eve. I'll take it. Yeah, okay, Friday Eve.
We got that.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And on this Friday Eve we hear at your favorite
morning show, we'd like to start the broadcast off with
these simple words. F those penguins.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, which penguins specifically are we talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:25):

Daltrey made that announcement at a concert the other day.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
He also had a I guess it was him. He
said it about himself, so it's a bit of a
sense of humor. He said he's he's becoming Tommy. Oh man,
that's such an interesting point. The Pinball Wizard. Now he
can still sing, he can't hear or see. So two
out of three Tommy was deaf, dumb, and blind, so
(09:01):
couldn't talk either, and stupid dumb, really dumb. Yeah that
used to mean something else.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, still does. I don't think most people.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Realize that deaf, domb and blind doesn't mean he was,
you know, the idiot. I mean he was, Yeah, just
means he couldn't talk or sing. So Roger's got that
going for him.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I'm glad you didn't make the noise for the you
know the noise. Yeah, deaf, dumb and blind people when
being portrayed in a musical or a movie or people.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
How would that go? I'm not familiar. Well, uh, well,
I guess they can't offend them. Help me here with it. Yeah, no,
you're you're certainly not gonna offend too many deaf people
unless there's somebody in the room with him that's signing
our show explaining it to him. I doubt it. It's
kind of like Helen Keller. You can make fun of
Helen Keller.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She wasn't real first of all, and second of all,
even if she was, how's she going to know?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's like or the Amish guy.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Ahead, Amish people, you can pick on them all you
want on a radio show.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
What if they're listening to a you know, a radio
that has been powered by a foot pedal, like on
Gilligan's Island. You know, I don't know the rules is that?
I don't either, but I don't know. It sounds like
they could. They could probably get away with that. That
would be like they made it out of a coconut. Sure.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, all in my years of working in terrestrial broadcast radio,
I've never once seen a coconut radio.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And I think it's time to change that. Maybe we
should give him away as prizes.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Or is there a person out there that knows how
to you know, wire together a transistor radio with a coconut.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
And he used to work here but he retired. Oh Bob,
Bob could have done it. He quit on Friday. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Do you think Bob still wakes up at four in
the morning in a cold sweat, thinking wonder Kenny can't
get his computer to turn on?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Probably if the phone ever does ring at four thirty
or five in the morning, he's sure it's you, all right.
You know we probably should call him and every now
and then, you know, wake him up. Just remember when
we used to do this all the time. All Right,
you're retired, go back to sleep. For those that do
keep up with the show too closely.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Besides Billy ed, our other engineer, our other longtime engineer
was a cool guy named Bob Stroop.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
He retired on Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
He's been in this industry since I think Wolfman Jack's
first day in radio, Bob Bob's And he's just a
great guy, just brilliant, nice, pleasant, always has a funny joke.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He told a joke at his going away party. Always funny, Well,
I always as a joke. They're not always that funny.
But he's not listening. You can't offend him.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I love Bob. He's a great guy. Bob would Bob
would tell jokes that would should I tell it on
the air. His going away party joke was great. Okay,
So what's the hardest part about doing AIDS research on mice?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Oh? Gee, I don't know, getting the mice to each other,
especially the boy mice. Well that was the.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Joke, sure, but maybe the words should have been sodomized.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Anyway, don't anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So for those that don't ever want why the equipment
is working worse than usual, it's because the only guy
at our company that was qualified to operate this stuff
no longer works here.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So yep.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, anyway, Tariffs are now a thing, and you will
probably have a liberal coworker, maybe your cat loving aunt Kathy,
or your your neighbor that just turns on the news
once every four years to have Trump arrangement syndrome, tell
you today, the tariffs are bad.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
They're awful, They're terrible. Nobody likes a tariff, and the
stock market's prove of that. I mean, the stock market's down.
I think it's gonna zero out. I think the stock
market's just gonna go down to zero a Nasdaq SMP,
you know New York Exchange. I think it's all just
gonna it's all just gonna go away.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now Here is the intellectual ammunition you will need to
combat that remark. Your coworker, your liberal aunt, whoever says
tariffs are bad, and you say, yes, we agree, that's
the point, and they're not going to know what to say.
You just told them they're right, have already proved your argument.
Tariffs are bad and our trade partners, the friendliest trade
partners we supposedly have not even our enemies have trade
(13:08):
deals with us where we're paying absurd tariffs to sell
them things and they're not paying any tariffs to sell
us stuff. And it's been that way forever.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
There's tariffs going on all around the world, every country
he is doing. I was a little surprised Israel has
tariffs on us Israel. I mean, think about all the
countries that we either assist with our money or just
completely support, and to those countries that take our money, yeah,
(13:38):
then charge us more for tariffs on our goods.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And to that point, Israel was one of the first
countries to say they would take the necessary steps to
get rid of the tariffs.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So and doesn't that prove right now that these tariffs
are already working Day one, Canada already came out. Guy
in Canada's like, hey, we're happy to you know, take
ours off if you'll remove these. It worked in the
first hour, right, But of course tariffs are still bad,
but only the tariffs that we impose on others, not
(14:11):
the ones that we have to pay. And the guy
that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
By the way, was in Canada was Randy Ford dug
Ford that's his name, which was Rob Ford's brother, And
for those that don't remember, he's the former mayor of Toronto.
He was a treat and they all smoked crack. So
if a crackhead could figure this out, I'm pretty sure
every other country could figure it out.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Everyone gather around what days. Well, let's see, it's Thursday, right, Well,
it's only the best day of the year. Wilton and
