Speaker 1 (00:00):
Buck quiz, pop a quiz according to scientific data raw
unmitigated unhinged scientific data.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Raw dog data. Yeah, Rod Doda.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yesterday, according to raw scientific data, what were human beings
more excited about the selection of the new pope or
or a Metallica concert at Virginia Tech University.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Oh, Metallica, dude, that's correct.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, no, you're you're one hundred percent right. Yesterday we
picked a new pope. But also Metallica fans registered a
small earthquake at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium as thousands of
Hokies jumped in Unison, sixty thousand fans. It's part of
the M seventy two world tour. The Virginia Tech Sizemological
(00:50):
Observatory actually said this, this showed up.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
On a Richter scale. Nice. I know Catholics are excited,
but it damage to buildings or anybody injured or killed?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Probably okay, yeah, no way to know. Probably thousands. Yeah,
probably had nothing to do with a Metallica concert. But
just you know, that's just living life in America.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I know you think this pope's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You've obviously never heard Metallica's Black album live in concert,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I haven't. Actually, no, I have seen the new Pope. Now,
I don't know anything about him except what I've just
read the news this morning early, But so far, he
reminds me a lot of you can he He's just
a little older, that's all.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
As you know, I as I'm sure you could guess
I know everything about him. Of course, Yeah, I know
a lot about this guy.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I've Well, you'll both you know you're from You're both
from Chicago, So that pretty much means y'all are like
best friends. Oh we have all the same friends.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Sure, yeah, okay, So why don't we just start with
that because that's obviously the biggest news of the day.
Do we all agree nobody gives a crap about this
war in India Pakistan.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's not like it's a brand new thing. It's just
that it's getting publicity now that it didn't get every
other time they were, you know, blowing each other up.
I mean, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
After Afghanistan, Yemen, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestine, finally American Democrats
and Republicans have found a war we can all agree
to not give a crap about.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hopefully we can agree not to fund it or have
to go help one side or the other rebuild whatever
gets torn up when it's all settled down again.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, I think God Trump is president, or we probably
would have to fund both sides of the war.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, you say, thank Trump's president, but at the same
time you said, thank God we got a new pope.
And the new Pope he's a he's a you know,
he's not a he's not a maga man. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I'm indifferent about the new pope mostly because of this. Politically,
he's not very different than the last pope. But I'll
tell you what, I'm giving Trump full credit for this,
and I'm not necessarily saying that as like it's a
good thing. The Catholic Church globally benefits vastly from Catholics
migrating into the United States. There are two policies that
(02:58):
people in America always want to put everything into the
American political framework. And so two things that really confused
Republicans and Democrats, if they're not paying any attention, is
why is it that are the Democrats is the Catholic Church?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Are they Democrats or are they Republican? They're neither. They're
the Catholic church.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
They're vast they're very much against abortion, they're very much
against gay marriage because they want more Catholic babies. And
they're also very much in favor of open borders because
they want more Catholics to be in the United States. Okay,
now they've got a guy who is very familiar with
South America, where there's a lot of Catholics, because he
was a Peruvian missionary.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Again, much like you, you know, came from the Chicago
area and decided to head south after he got out
of school. Yeah, same thing, right, you stopped in Houston,
he kept going all the way to Peru. Right, still
very similar.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
One of the most interesting things about Popelio the fourteenth
Robert Cardinal Robert Provist is that Cardinal Robert Provist has
been cardinal for less than two years, barely a Francis
ordained him.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
He hasn't been a cardinal for very long, which means
he's probably not very popular with these other older cardinals.
And they voted him in less than forty eight hours.
I think Francis picked this guy. Why didn't they just
vote him first time?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Then?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Because there's it's very political behind closed doors there were
still people that probably said, well, it's our guy's turn.
It's time for a black pope from Africa.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Asian pope from the Philippines, exactly right after they figured out, yeah,
that's not going to happen, and they're like, well, we
never had an American, well about that guy. The pope
is supposed to be because this is the oldest church
arguably right started by Saint Peter, one of the apostles,
the original pope. They said, this is a new guy.
(04:43):
Now he's a direct descendant of Saint Peter. Right. I
don't think they mean, you know, like you know, genetically,
just that he's you know, the next vote.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The pope is supposed to be the living embodiment of
Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church. And so the last
guy that was the living embodiment of the pope and
of the Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church made this
guy a cardinal like eighteen months ago, and he was handpicked.
You remember that one of the last things Francis did
was have an argument with jd Vance about immigration.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And then he died.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The arguments against gay marriage, an abortion, and four open
borders are all biblical, but They're also very important to
the business model of the Catholic Church. And there are
people that aren't Catholic who don't understand there is a
difference between the Roman Catholic Churches an organization and Catholicism
is a religion. It's the reason why so many American
conservatives right now are upset about this guy.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, Catholicism is a big business, lots of money involved, and.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I'm not saying that to denigrate it. I'm a Catholic.
The Catholic Church in the modern day context fifty five
over fifty five hundred hospitals around the world, many of
them with cancer wards pretty much all of them treating
terminally ill people, orphanages, food banks, tens of thousands all
over the world. People that don't like the Catholic Church,
you know, and putting aside the politics to the current Pope,
(06:07):
the Catholic Church right now, I think there's a lot
more good than bad globally helping out people with cans.
Why are you smirking? I just wanted to check see
what the babylon b thought about the new pope. Oh well,
what they say, of course, it comes with a picture
eagle firing an ar fifteen and emerges from the Vatican,
indicating an American pope has been picked.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, Jan Janson and Ponies and getting my snooch pounded.
On Friday nights, Walton and Johnson Radio Network, a report
gonna make its way to the show this morning. Oh
I haven't had one Florida man, of course. And Kenny
is gonna break down everything you wanted to know about
(06:49):
the ACM Award show. I guess that was on last night.
Huh what does that stand for? Okay, it's gonna be
tough breaking that down if you're not true Academy of
Country Music.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh no, I'm no good. There no Catholic stuff. Sure
you know alternative rock. Happy to tell you about it.
Dating apps, I could break down each one for you,
but when it comes to country music, I'm no good.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I have to tell you. I didn't watch it, wasn't
even aware that it was on. But Laney Wilson, if
you familiar with her, she just won pretty much everything
last night. That she's Wilson Phillips. Is that No, No,
just Laney, just Laney Wilson. But is that is that
where we know her from? No? I don't know who
she is she might have been on Yellowstone. You want
(07:34):
to look into that. Oh, she's the one with a
big butt. Yeah, that's pretty much why she's popular. I
think she won Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of
the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Album of the Year,
and it just daunted me. I just read she was
Female Artist of the Year. They still have these categories.
(07:55):
How many men do you think we're in the running
for Female Artist of the Year the Academy Country Music Awards.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't know, but I hope it was more than
they considered for women as pope, because that, you know,
we got to even out the zeitgeist the Universely.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Women getting into the men's stuff not so much a thing,
but men wanting to take over all the women categories, Well,
that's perfectly fine. That's really offensive. I'd like to see
a man step up and win Female Artists of the
Year or this award shows just a.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Joke, it's true. And you know what, I'm disappointed for humanity.
The entire species, although I have nothing to compare it to,
is really disappointing.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Meal It has disappointed us for some time now. Aw
He's a love.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
When people are like, oh, the state of America. It's
just garbage right now. It's like, all right, well look
I'm a conservative. I happen to agree with that. But
real quick, though, what are you comparing it to? You know, yeah,
where else have you been spent some time along out
Maybe we had a job or you know, bought a
home and it truly explored that place. I'm just saying
I get it. I actually agree with that point. I
(09:02):
just don't think you do. Sometimes hating people just say
things because they think will not in agreement. They probably
don't pander to me. I'd rather you admit you're a
commie pinko than try to pretend to be an American conservative.
Standing here in line at the bagel Rhea. All right, guys,
really fascinating story from CBS News how a routine hire
(09:22):
at a Houston tech firm uncovered and alleged North Korea scheme.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
This is so interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The United Nations estimates that North Korea has generated two
hundred and fifty million to six hundred million dollars per
year by tricking overseas firms into hiring their spies. The
hiring team at Kraken, it's a US based crypto exchange,
noticed immediately something was off about quote unquote Steven Smith.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
They don't know what it was about this guy.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It would be it worker applied for a software engineering
job in early oct October. But it wasn't until they
compared Smith's email to a list of those expected to
be a part of a hacker group that there's suspicions
were confirmed this guy Smith was a North Korean operative.
Kraken could have just tossed the application. Instead, their chief
security officer, a guy named Nick Percoco, decided to take
(10:15):
a closer look at Steven Smith. He saw this as
an opportunity to learn more about the infiltration tactics of
North Korea, which I've actually robbed billions from crypto companies.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
How many Smiths are there in Korea? Like? None? Oh,
how many Steves? None? Not Steves? Very uncommon.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They said they were suspicious when he shut up and said, hoo,
do you eat dog meat? I'm sorry, I'm not supposed
to do that voice or not. Percoco decided to advance
Smith through the hiring process, having him speak with a
recruiter and perform a technical test before setting up an interview.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Here's an interesting quote.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
We said, this is going to be a get to
know you sort of cultural interview. That's where he really failed.
I don't think he actually answered any questions that we
asked him. Smith was unable to answer simple questions about Houston,
the town he had supposedly been living in.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
For two years.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay, Despite having listed quote unquote food as an interest
on his resume, he was unable to come up with
a straight answer when asked to list one of the
local favorite restaurants from the Houston area.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, you know the restaurant just down the street from
your house, you know, the one you were you go to.
You know, it's just like all the time, what are
you into food? Oh? Cool?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What's your favorite restaurant Houston? They asked him that. He
just looked around, mumbled, and said nothing special here.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
See, if he was really a guy named Steve, he
would have said, waa Burger bro I mean easy at
the very least, right.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, Look, we live in Houston, I promise you. We
have some of the most corrupt politicians. It's hot and
humid here nine months a year. But there's one thing
we do very well in this town.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yes we do.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
This is one of the top five food cities in
America right alongside uh, you know, the New Orleans and Charleston,
and you get some good food in Houston. You can't
come up with a single restaurant. We have high end
Korean restaurants here. He couldn't even win.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
His job application is part of a growing threat facing
American companies. Thousands of supposed IT workers with connections to
North Korean spy agencies nice all right out right now
applying for jobs. And we've they estimate we've lost some
six hundred million dollars by accidentally hiring these guys here
in the United States.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's a lot of money. So this one kid is
the only one that was suspicious about a Korean guy
named Steve Smith. Yeah, isn't that great. Somebody else is
just like what, you know, you know what it is.
It's probably they've probably never lifted their eyes out of
their their iPhone. You know, they were like, who what? Yeah, okay, fine,
what I gotta watch this video? You know why this happened.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The people that are in charge of hiring in these
IT companies and these tech firms and stuff, they're very
socially awkward. In fact, most of our technocracy, the Silicon
Valley oligarchy, some of the most socially awkward people you've
ever been around. Yesterday or earlier this week. Mark Zuckerberg,
who's currently built holding a big bought a big mansion
in Washington, d C. This week so he could lobby people.
(13:05):
Made an interesting statement. He said, in the future, you
won't need friends because your friends will all be AI.
You'll just be friends. It doesn't As he said that
out loud, I thought, first of all, no, I'll have friends.
I don't know what you're talking. I'm not gonna sit
around talking to a computer all day. Second of all,
doesn't it suck that the technocrats that rule over us,
or a bunch of dorks who like just socially awkward
(13:27):
and probably wouldn't know how to talk to a girl
if they bumped into one in a public place.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That sad.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, just a bunch of virgins and they control your life.
Scary Fiday is silent here Well love Friday.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Wait, I'm not ready. Walton and Johnson Radio Network
Buck quiz, pop a quiz according to scientific data raw

Speaker 2 (00:53):
On a Richter scale. Nice. I know Catholics are excited,
but it damage to buildings or anybody injured or killed?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Probably okay, yeah, no way to know. Probably thousands. Yeah,
probably had nothing to do with a Metallica concert. But
just you know, that's just living life in America.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I know you think this pope's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You've obviously never heard Metallica's Black album live in concert,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I haven't. Actually, no, I have seen the new Pope. Now,
I don't know anything about him except what I've just

As you know, I as I'm sure you could guess

a lot about this guy.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I've Well, you'll both you know you're from You're both
from Chicago, So that pretty much means y'all are like
best friends. Oh we have all the same friends.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Sure, yeah, okay, So why don't we just start with
that because that's obviously the biggest news of the day.
Do we all agree nobody gives a crap about this
war in India Pakistan.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's not like it's a brand new thing. It's just
that it's getting publicity now that it didn't get every

Hopefully we can agree not to fund it or have
to go help one side or the other rebuild whatever

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, I think God Trump is president, or we probably
would have to fund both sides of the war.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, you say, thank Trump's president, but at the same

how many Steves? None? Not Steves? Very uncommon.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They said they were suspicious when he shut up and said, hoo,
do you eat dog meat? I'm sorry, I'm not supposed
to do that voice or not. Percoco decided to advance
Smith through the hiring process, having him speak with a
recruiter and perform a technical test before setting up an interview.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Here's an interesting quote.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
We said, this is going to be a get to
know you sort of cultural interview. That's where he really failed.
I don't think he actually answered any questions that we
asked him. Smith was unable to answer simple questions about Houston,
the town he had supposedly been living in.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
For two years.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay, Despite having listed quote unquote food as an interest
on his resume, he was unable to come up with
a straight answer when asked to list one of the
local favorite restaurants from the Houston area.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, you know the restaurant just down the street from
your house, you know, the one you were you go to.
You know, it's just like all the time, what are
you into food? Oh? Cool?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What's your favorite restaurant Houston? They asked him that. He
just looked around, mumbled, and said nothing special here.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
See, if he was really a guy named Steve, he
would have said, waa Burger bro I mean easy at
the very least, right.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, Look, we live in Houston, I promise you. We
have some of the most corrupt politicians. It's hot and
humid here nine months a year. But there's one thing
we do very well in this town.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yes we do.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
This is one of the top five food cities in
America right alongside uh, you know, the New Orleans and Charleston,
and you get some good food in Houston. You can't
come up with a single restaurant. We have high end
Korean restaurants here. He couldn't even win.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
His job application is part of a growing threat facing
American companies. Thousands of supposed IT workers with connections to
North Korean spy agencies nice all right out right now
applying for jobs. And we've they estimate we've lost some
six hundred million dollars by accidentally hiring these guys here
in the United States.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's a lot of money. So this one kid is
the only one that was suspicious about a Korean guy
named Steve Smith. Yeah, isn't that great. Somebody else is
just like what, you know, you know what it is.
It's probably they've probably never lifted their eyes out of
their their iPhone. You know, they were like, who what? Yeah, okay, fine,
what I gotta watch this video? You know why this happened.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The people that are in charge of hiring in these
IT companies and these tech firms and stuff, they're very
socially awkward. In fact, most of our technocracy, the Silicon
Valley oligarchy, some of the most socially awkward people you've
ever been around. Yesterday or earlier this week. Mark Zuckerberg,
who's currently built holding a big bought a big mansion
in Washington, d C. This week so he could lobby people.
(13:05):
Made an interesting statement. He said, in the future, you
won't need friends because your friends will all be AI.
You'll just be friends. It doesn't As he said that
out loud, I thought, first of all, no, I'll have friends.
I don't know what you're talking. I'm not gonna sit
around talking to a computer all day. Second of all,
doesn't it suck that the technocrats that rule over us,
or a bunch of dorks who like just socially awkward
(13:27):
and probably wouldn't know how to talk to a girl
if they bumped into one in a public place.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That sad.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, just a bunch of virgins and they control your life.
Scary Fiday is silent here Well love Friday.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Wait, I'm not ready. Walton and Johnson Radio Network
