Speaker 2 (07:29):
In the eighteen eighty six, on this Day, a fellow
name doctor John for New Orleans, doctor John Pemberton bro.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
His music is dope.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
He came up with the formula or coca cola syrup
while cooking over a fire in his backyard. It was
eighteen eighties, you know, so that wasn't unusual. He combined
it with water. A drugstore clerk then decided carbonated water
would make it better. Coca cola was born today we
(08:03):
as humans, and this is worldwide. Of course, drink thirty
eight million gallons of coke every single.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Day, dude. Doctor John is sick man. I was in
the right place. He must have been a town. Yeah,
thirty eight million gallons.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Wouldn't be interesting if you could still get the original
coke somewhere with cocaine. Did you know the Coca Cola
company still makes money off cocaine.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Did they?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, because they know, well, they're harvesting and growing the
cocoa leaf and they sell it in different parts of
the world, and in some places it gets sold to
somebody that sells it to the cartelsa ergo ergo ergo.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Coca Cola company does make money off cocaine. You mean
I E I E ergo. Yeah, not the same thing,
et cetera, or et cetera or etc.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They had a great argument about that. I think it
was on the Sopranos one time. Neither one of them
knew what the earlier is talking about. I don't think,
uh huh. It was on this date, nineteen seventy six.
Our nation's by centennial. By the oh, we got a
bi centennial and a half coming up next year.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Now, I think you can ride a tricycle if you want.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's a bye, It's a bye. Oh Okay, this old
tay I messed up. The seventies were musically and for
many other reasons. You ever listen to one of those
old Casey Kasem countdowns, you know, from the seventies today
on the satellite thing Billy rad Busy Idea, D's in
today to say my wife's cheating on me and I
need the perfect song. In nineteen seventy two, for example,
(09:31):
which I just heard one recently, they were playing the
most ridiculous combinations of music. These were all top forty
hits and it was like earth Wind and Fire and
then Eddie Arnold or something crazy like that. I mean,
it's just so bizarre. Well on this date in nineteen
seventy six. Yeah, the number one song of the land
(09:54):
belonged to John Sebastian, the theme from Welcome Back Cotter.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's not it? I hie three you a curveball. He
told me to cue it up. Isn't this ridiculous? Welcome
to Brooklyn? Welcome Back? Number one song?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Now, think about the music that was out at this
time of year in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
A lot of good songs early just listen to today,
some of the best rock music. But then this was
a hit.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think this got replaced at number one by Wild
Cherry of.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
A white guy pretending to be black. Yeah, think about that.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
This song and Wild Cherry play that music were contemporary.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yes, we did a version of this back in the
day about bo Burgdal coming home from Taliban captivity.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I have that song right here in front of me.
But don't worry, I'm not going to play it. Oh,
welcome back from Qatar we called it. We've done some
bad parodies. Sure, you know it's radio after all, bo Bergdoll.
We should have left him and cutter. That should have
a little good shut away cutouts too late. Now, all right,
I got a few Today in seventeen ninety four. I
don't know if you guys are big fans of my
(11:08):
man Ben Franklin.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I love Ben Franklin. He's a cool guy.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But one of the things he did that sucked the
most was creating the postal service that happened today.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And I don't mean the new wave band. I mean
the anyway people back.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
In the old days, though they used to love to
get mail. Now it's just pretty much bills or political
advertisement are scams. There's a lot of scams.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You just reminded me. I got to challenge my property tax.
How much more time do I have on that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
About two days? Okay, I gotta do that real soon. Today.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
In nineteen forty five, high ranking Nazi Herman Goring is
captured by the US seventh Army. Today, in nineteen sixty seven,
a black guy named Muhammad Ali indicted for refusing induction
into the US Army.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Because he said he ain't got no problem in London
vehicle Today.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
In nineteen eighty four, Soviets announced their boycotting the nineteen
eighty four La Olympics.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh no, what we do without Russia?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And isn't that where the next Olympics are at and Today,
in twenty ten, at eighty eight years old, Betty White
hosts Saturday Night Live, the oldest person ever to do
so at.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The age of eighty eight years old. Yeah, and she
lived another few years.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I will say this though, of all the old ladies
out there that were on The Golden Girls a lot
for a lot of people, it's Blanche Nah for manaw
and not be Arthur either. For your money, Betty White,
that's the one. She looks like she'd appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's really amazing. Is you go back and look at
the actresses in that show. They were in real life,
they were like in their fifties, but fifty back then
looked really old. Fifty today is like Cheryl Tige or
Christy Brinkley.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, that's a huge difference. Yeah, world changed an awful lot.
Even still, Betty White would all hell.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I
feel lucky?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Do you Punk Walton and Johnson Radio Network tell them
about it?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Will it some good bumper music? Well that's Ray Wiley Harvard,
but boy, that's good. Sorry, Well, their buddies yesterday you
told us story and I hadn't heard about this until
you brought it up. About this giant black woman statue.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh yeah, that's right. They made a giant statue.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
My buddy Jesse Kelly says that it's twelve feet tall
and useless, just and black. It's a black woman who's
twelve feet tall and it's useless, just like a w
NBA player.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Oh nice. Yeah, I screwed up his joke, but it
wasn't my joke.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You're not a professional yet, I kind of am' Oh
that's right, you are.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's just not my joke. Actually, I talked to some people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
From from the New Orleans area about your recent you know,
stand up comedy bits, and they were quite complimentary.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, I don't mean to brag, but there's not
much we're good at but joking around and goofing off.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We're pretty good at that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But it is difficult to stand on stage by oneself
in front of a live audience where you can immediately
see and hear reaction and that deliver you know, funny
punchlines and things. And they were complimentary. They said you
did quite well, especially for being new to the.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Game, so to speak. Stand up comedy is not my
full time job, but I do. I dabble. I've been
doing it on and off for years, and we're coming back.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
All The reason I brought up that statue is because
guy sent me this little link to the story where
a bunch of people make comments, you know how people
like to make comments. So they put this statue up
in New York City, some New York City Times Square,
and they said they put it up there because there's
a couple of statues of white guys, and you know,
(14:28):
they just thought it would be nice if they.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Would, you know, have a giant.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Statue of a black woman for no reason at all.
What are the statues of white guys that one of
them happened to be a World War two hero and
the other a major Broadway star considered a musical genius.
But isn't that Broadway right there that would make sense?
What did this black lady do nearby?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Does?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
She pretty much didn't even get dressed up for the occasion.
She just looks like And that's what people are commenting on.
They said, why didn't they make it a statue of
a a black woman that did something significant? There are
somebody that looks like she's about to go beat her
husband for coming home drunk.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
They made it look like that woman who worked at
the nine to one one call center who hung up
on thousands of people.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I think that's just a coincidence. Though.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
The American woman that brought all of us together was
Aunt Jemima. But no, we have to get rid of
Aunt Jemima. And then they put a black woman statue up.
Why Okay, I get it. He looks like she's about
to go start a fight at the nearest Windy's.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You're being funny, But like, why not a Rosa Park statue?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
They didn't do that. I'm just telling you what these
people wrote. I'm just saying, yes, Rosa Parks was an
armed black female Republican. They're not going to put up
a statue Harriet Tubman.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, well they wanted to put her on the
twenty eight dollar bill, and then they realized we'd be
throwing these at strippers. Throw some Tubmans on that hoe,
Throw some tubmans on that hoe.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is that what we're doing? Yeah, you can't be doing that.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, well they didn't bother doing any of that. And
you know what's messed about all that stuff? I can't
wait to find out what you might not want to
financially support these meaningless statues. They tore a lot of
them down so they could put this up. Unbelievable. Your
tax dollars do support this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
One of my favorite statues in New York City no
longer exists. It was that Theodore Roosevelt statue. That was
a cool one. Teddy wrote, Love Teddy Roosevelt. Didn't they
take down an Abraham Lincoln statue where he was standing
with a black man and a Native American.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, I can't tell you, man. They took so many
to day on statues down. I'm surprise there's any lyft.

all these damn statues, Come join us for Couple's Therapy,

good turnout at both of our shows. But you know,

or it's in the Google Play Store or which is

We made some updates recently to the Android version, so
it works better.
Speaker 1 (07:15):

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Woo, and don't listen to it if you're allergic to podcasts. No,

Speaker 2 (07:29):
In the eighteen eighty six, on this Day, a fellow
name doctor John for New Orleans, doctor John Pemberton bro.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
His music is dope.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
He came up with the formula or coca cola syrup
while cooking over a fire in his backyard. It was
eighteen eighties, you know, so that wasn't unusual. He combined
it with water. A drugstore clerk then decided carbonated water
would make it better. Coca cola was born today we
(08:03):
as humans, and this is worldwide. Of course, drink thirty
eight million gallons of coke every single.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Day, dude. Doctor John is sick man. I was in
the right place. He must have been a town. Yeah,
thirty eight million gallons.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Wouldn't be interesting if you could still get the original
coke somewhere with cocaine. Did you know the Coca Cola
company still makes money off cocaine.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Did they?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, because they know, well, they're harvesting and growing the
cocoa leaf and they sell it in different parts of
the world, and in some places it gets sold to
somebody that sells it to the cartelsa ergo ergo ergo.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Coca Cola company does make money off cocaine. You mean
I E I E ergo. Yeah, not the same thing,
et cetera, or et cetera or etc.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They had a great argument about that. I think it
was on the Sopranos one time. Neither one of them
knew what the earlier is talking about. I don't think,
uh huh. It was on this date, nineteen seventy six.
Our nation's by centennial. By the oh, we got a
bi centennial and a half coming up next year.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Now, I think you can ride a tricycle if you want.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's a bye, It's a bye. Oh Okay, this old
tay I messed up. The seventies were musically and for
many other reasons. You ever listen to one of those
old Casey Kasem countdowns, you know, from the seventies today
on the satellite thing Billy rad Busy Idea, D's in
today to say my wife's cheating on me and I
need the perfect song. In nineteen seventy two, for example,
(09:31):
which I just heard one recently, they were playing the
most ridiculous combinations of music. These were all top forty
hits and it was like earth Wind and Fire and
then Eddie Arnold or something crazy like that. I mean,
it's just so bizarre. Well on this date in nineteen
seventy six. Yeah, the number one song of the land
(09:54):
belonged to John Sebastian, the theme from Welcome Back Cotter.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's not it? I hie three you a curveball. He
told me to cue it up. Isn't this ridiculous? Welcome
to Brooklyn? Welcome Back? Number one song?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Now, think about the music that was out at this
time of year in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
A lot of good songs early just listen to today,
some of the best rock music. But then this was
a hit.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think this got replaced at number one by Wild
Cherry of.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
A white guy pretending to be black. Yeah, think about that.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
This song and Wild Cherry play that music were contemporary.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yes, we did a version of this back in the
day about bo Burgdal coming home from Taliban captivity.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I have that song right here in front of me.
But don't worry, I'm not going to play it. Oh,
welcome back from Qatar we called it. We've done some
bad parodies. Sure, you know it's radio after all, bo Bergdoll.
We should have left him and cutter. That should have
a little good shut away cutouts too late. Now, all right,
I got a few Today in seventeen ninety four. I
don't know if you guys are big fans of my
(11:08):
man Ben Franklin.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I love Ben Franklin. He's a cool guy.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But one of the things he did that sucked the
most was creating the postal service that happened today.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And I don't mean the new wave band. I mean
the anyway people back.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
In the old days, though they used to love to
get mail. Now it's just pretty much bills or political
advertisement are scams. There's a lot of scams.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You just reminded me. I got to challenge my property tax.
How much more time do I have on that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
About two days? Okay, I gotta do that real soon. Today.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
In nineteen forty five, high ranking Nazi Herman Goring is
captured by the US seventh Army. Today, in nineteen sixty seven,
a black guy named Muhammad Ali indicted for refusing induction
into the US Army.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Because he said he ain't got no problem in London
vehicle Today.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
In nineteen eighty four, Soviets announced their boycotting the nineteen
eighty four La Olympics.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh no, what we do without Russia?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And isn't that where the next Olympics are at and Today,
in twenty ten, at eighty eight years old, Betty White
hosts Saturday Night Live, the oldest person ever to do
so at.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The age of eighty eight years old. Yeah, and she
lived another few years.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I will say this though, of all the old ladies
out there that were on The Golden Girls a lot
for a lot of people, it's Blanche Nah for manaw
and not be Arthur either. For your money, Betty White,
that's the one. She looks like she'd appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's really amazing. Is you go back and look at
the actresses in that show. They were in real life,
they were like in their fifties, but fifty back then
looked really old. Fifty today is like Cheryl Tige or
Christy Brinkley.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, that's a huge difference. Yeah, world changed an awful lot.
Even still, Betty White would all hell.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I
feel lucky?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Do you Punk Walton and Johnson Radio Network tell them
about it?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Will it some good bumper music? Well that's Ray Wiley Harvard,
but boy, that's good. Sorry, Well, their buddies yesterday you
told us story and I hadn't heard about this until
you brought it up. About this giant black woman statue.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh yeah, that's right. They made a giant statue.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
My buddy Jesse Kelly says that it's twelve feet tall
and useless, just and black. It's a black woman who's
twelve feet tall and it's useless, just like a w
NBA player.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Oh nice. Yeah, I screwed up his joke, but it
wasn't my joke.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You're not a professional yet, I kind of am' Oh
that's right, you are.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's just not my joke. Actually, I talked to some people.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
From from the New Orleans area about your recent you know,
stand up comedy bits, and they were quite complimentary.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
You know, I don't mean to brag, but there's not
much we're good at but joking around and goofing off.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We're pretty good at that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But it is difficult to stand on stage by oneself
in front of a live audience where you can immediately
see and hear reaction and that deliver you know, funny
punchlines and things. And they were complimentary. They said you
did quite well, especially for being new to the.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Game, so to speak. Stand up comedy is not my
full time job, but I do. I dabble. I've been
doing it on and off for years, and we're coming back.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
All The reason I brought up that statue is because
guy sent me this little link to the story where
a bunch of people make comments, you know how people
like to make comments. So they put this statue up
in New York City, some New York City Times Square,
and they said they put it up there because there's
a couple of statues of white guys, and you know,
(14:28):
they just thought it would be nice if they.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Would, you know, have a giant.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Statue of a black woman for no reason at all.
What are the statues of white guys that one of
them happened to be a World War two hero and
the other a major Broadway star considered a musical genius.
But isn't that Broadway right there that would make sense?
What did this black lady do nearby?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Does?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
She pretty much didn't even get dressed up for the occasion.
She just looks like And that's what people are commenting on.
They said, why didn't they make it a statue of
a a black woman that did something significant? There are
somebody that looks like she's about to go beat her
husband for coming home drunk.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
They made it look like that woman who worked at
the nine to one one call center who hung up
on thousands of people.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I think that's just a coincidence. Though.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
The American woman that brought all of us together was
Aunt Jemima. But no, we have to get rid of
Aunt Jemima. And then they put a black woman statue up.
Why Okay, I get it. He looks like she's about
to go start a fight at the nearest Windy's.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You're being funny, But like, why not a Rosa Park statue?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
They didn't do that. I'm just telling you what these
people wrote. I'm just saying, yes, Rosa Parks was an
armed black female Republican. They're not going to put up
a statue Harriet Tubman.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, well they wanted to put her on the
twenty eight dollar bill, and then they realized we'd be
throwing these at strippers. Throw some Tubmans on that hoe,
Throw some tubmans on that hoe.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is that what we're doing? Yeah, you can't be doing that.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, well they didn't bother doing any of that. And
you know what's messed about all that stuff? I can't
wait to find out what you might not want to
financially support these meaningless statues. They tore a lot of
them down so they could put this up. Unbelievable. Your
tax dollars do support this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
One of my favorite statues in New York City no
longer exists. It was that Theodore Roosevelt statue. That was
a cool one. Teddy wrote, Love Teddy Roosevelt. Didn't they
take down an Abraham Lincoln statue where he was standing
with a black man and a Native American.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh, I can't tell you, man. They took so many
to day on statues down. I'm surprise there's any lyft.

think this makes us idiots. We went there Easter weekend
and we had a pretty good turnout. We did you
keep going back from Yeah, we did have a pretty
good turnout at both of our shows. But you know,
both times people had pointed out to us, they're like,
you know, more of my friends would have come, haded

just didn't bother to check or let's open. We still
had plenty of people at the show. It's fine, you know,
good ahead more. I mean no, it was it was
almost fall. I mean it doesn't really matter. It wasn't
like it was a tragedy or whatever. But some Usually
(18:30):
when we do comedy shows, they always sell out, and
we have people standing outside asking if they could get in, demanding,
and we have a and we have a What is
it with the stand by crowd? We didn't have the
only real difference is we didn't have a stand by crowd.
Everybody that showed up got just like it Frontier Airlines.
You know, you can go and stand by and if
somebody comes up max a fool, then you get there.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
See, it's exactly like.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
