Speaker 1 (00:00):
Who's right here in the room with us, who's are
(00:02):
on Ted Cruise?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
He said, you and Ted Cruz think a lot of
l like I do.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Like Ted, I was just looking at something he said yesterday.
Why did you bring up Ted Cruise?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, because he said yesterday, this airplane they want to
give Trump poses a significant espionage and surveillance problems. That's
that's what you were saying.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm just a guy that remembers when history repeats itself.
I mean it has repeated itself many times. I'll give
you an example. China donated a building to the League
of Nations. Does everybody remember this kind of do remember that?
And it turns out that that building crawling with bugs.
They had to get an exterminator in there. Yeah, the
African League of Nations were on a bug. It's sort
(00:45):
of like the UN, but just for Africa was gifted
with a facility of years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Here, we're not using it. Move on in.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, and years after occupying the building, they realized they
were just hidden microphone all over the place.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's what's a little troubling for some people about airbnbs. Now,
the same thing could be happening in hotel rooms, but
airbnbs are a little more private personal people live there,
own the house, and then you move in for a
weekend or a week right, and we don't know, you
know what if they've got cameras and microphones and things
(01:21):
hidden in the smoke detector or the chandelier or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I guess it's a little different for a guy than
it is for a check because there's somebody.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Was spying on me, you know why the show. Hell yeah,
put it out there.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I didn't work as much as I did over the
last two or three years so people couldn't see me naked. Yeah,
you don't want to hide all that. Yeah, take a look,
go ahead, buddy, you know a lady, whoever it may be,
for it is, Yeah, it's all. It's fine. This is
what God gave me. It's natural. I'm not ashamed of it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And we all wonder how you come up with that idea.
But you know, more power to you. Speaking of airbnbs,
there's Airbnb news today and not really that important, but
you know, if you're one of those people that stays
in airbnbs are gonna start adding services and experiences besides
(02:09):
just opening their home to you. They want to include
interactions with celebrities. One of the things that they mentioned
was a day of playing football and eating barbecue with
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, it's an interesting thing because I get the impression
people are traveling less. So Airbnb is trying to come
up with a way to convince you to use their
service even if you're not leaving town.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So something you could do is.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Sign up on the app to do to molly making,
or get a massage, or have an in house chef.
It's all now going to be available on the app,
and I don't know it good for them, I guess capitalisms.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I don't know if I would do it, but it's
cool that it's available. I'm wondering which way this goes.
Do the Airbnb people reach out to celebrities or the
celebrities saying, you know, for a little extra money, I
might show up and thrill the people because they do
a thing where celebrities get paid now to wish people
(03:14):
happy birthday. Cameo, what's that it's called? Cameo?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Oh, I thought you wanted me to do a photo shooter. No, no, no,
We've had a lot of people ask us to do this.
They say, you know, it'd be cool The Waldon Johnson Show.
You guys have been on the air since nineteen eighty
three or on dozens of radio stations. You're sort of
a you have a weird subculture following and a sort
of an underground support fan base. Why don't you guys
offer the ability for people to hire you to say
(03:42):
happy anniversary to you know, Scott and Tammy, and they
would pay you money for that, fifty bucks or something.
And we always said no, you know, if we're gonna
hoore ourselves out, it's so.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Then we'd have to split that amongst. It turns out
to be like we're gonna get ten dollars, right, yeah,
what don't much? Me and you do it, and we'd
just split it down, you know, twenty five each. Wait
do you think about that? We also consider talking about
kicking me out of the right in front of me.
I know what you're doing. What if I just go
do it without you?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, you know you do have that whole hair salon
thing going on. You never let me on any of that.
I couldn't even get a reservation there. Look, I need
to get cleaned up on the side over here. Yeah,
I called your hair salon yesterday They were making the
appointment for me, and as soon as I.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Told him my name, we have color id now.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
They hung up. I couldn't believe it. Yeah, I was surprised.
You guys had a landline too. Nobody has a landline now.
It came with the building, got it?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Just leave it there. Oh, another exciting news story. We
now found out why or who was responsible for President
Biden being kicked out of the race for president. It
was George Clooney. That's right. Everybody in Hollywood hates when
(04:54):
they aren't recognized. I mean, that's just the narcissism at work.
Everybody in Hollywood is pretty sure they're ridiculously famous. Well,
George Clooney obviously is. But even if it was a
lesser celebrity, nobody likes being told not didn't recognize them.
I don't know who that was.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
They had this the famous infamous fundraiser with Jimmy Kimmel
and George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Obama was there no.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Looking back on it out. Do you remember when we
watched at the end of the idea of the whole production,
Obama walks Biden off the stage by putting his hand
on his back in his arm Yep, that wasn't for us.
That was so that people in the room could see
Biden is not well. Obama was trying to convince people
we need a better candidate.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Obama is the reason.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But then also George Clooney, because apparently after not recognizing
George Clooney, Obama convinced Clooney to write that article about Biden.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Clooney says he was shaken to his core that the
President didn't recognize him, a man that he had known
for years. And of course I'm extremely hamp some and famous,
So yeah, they hate. We've had Hollywood types in the
studio before over the years. Now there's just no way
(06:11):
we can keep up with every movie, every TV show,
every commercial, every video that any of these celebrities have
been involved in. But the minute you don't know one
show they were in back in nineteen seventy nine, Oh
my god, Well you're Christopher Plummer. Good morning. He's one
(06:31):
of them right here. You recognize the VOI instantly. I
described you earlier to our listeners, who might picture you
the guy with the beautiful silver hair with a thick,
heavy cablenit sweater on playing a wise old father. That's
a bit of a type. Cash. Don't you think what
(06:51):
I picture it? I could probably play anything. He can
play evil really good exactly. You like playing bad or good?
Ow bad? It is always more interesting. I'm good show.
So what's your new film? What are you up? I
have not seen it? You have sent it? Oh? Really,
we have it? S what's it about? What's it called? Well?
(07:16):
So you pretty f all right? That pretty much till
he didn't want to be doing that in the first place,
did he.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I know, he's a little confusing to new listeners. That's
we just played a clip from the show fifteen twenty
years ago. It was a long time and rest in
peace to our to our godfather John Walton. But they
interviewed Christopher Plumber back then that sound by you just
heard get some.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
New movie up, and we still have no idea what
it is. Nobody else does either. We never really got
the concept of get the celebrity on the line. But
then don't let them tell you about the show. He
wanted us to tell you about the show. What are
you on the phone for? Same exact thing happened with
Paul Stanley from Kiss. Remember that I booked that was
(07:59):
a jack.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
When I was the executive producer of the show, which
technically I still am. We booked Paul Stanley from Kiss
to be on the air, and he came on to
tell us about Kiss his new album twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Probably nope. By the way, that album, they didn't sell
any copies. Nobody won.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
They could have sold a lot. Wow, I mean they
could have sold a few. Somebody would have cared, somebody
would have downloaded it, somebody would have checked it out.
We had him on this show. Paul Stanley was so
offended that we didn't know. We hadn't heard the album,
We didn't check it out. Hey, tell us about your
new project. What'd you come on to tell us about?
They don't want to tell you about it? Yeah, yeah,
you're supposed to already know. That's the narcissism. You're supposed
(08:37):
to know everything about me immediately. And George Clooney got offended.
He did so yesterday. They asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
You know last year, George Clooney, you why didn't you
guys say anything to us. Why didn't you know listen
to Chuck Schumer's response to this? And you said last
(08:57):
year he might dating the president buying.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I found the command who pressed and yielding influenced the pauses.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That save off FID recognized Georgey a fundraiser, were the American.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Look, we're just looking forward. That's it. So we're going
to ignore all of the lies and the teating, all
the stuff that we did in the past, and we're
gonna look forward. We're moving forward with new lies.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Chuck Schumer. Last year you told us Joe Biden was
sharp as attack. That was your talking point, and then
George Clooney met him and said he was clearly the
most broken brained person he'd ever come in contact with
this life. Chuck Schumer, what do you have to say?
We're trying to focus on the future.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Now, no order. Now for a special treat.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
When you get my sugary sweet fun bags, I'm going
to include my honkers and my signature who had well
squeezing my honkers. Put your lips on my hoo hap
and let the begins.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
All right, we got problems kids. I know you're all
excited about Doha. I'm the rise of the Chimpanzees, but
there's bigger issues. It's not all fun and games. Today,
my friends could be.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Bigger than the chimpanzees who are coming to kill us.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All I know, it's pretty alarming if you're just waking
up an army of chimpanzees are evolving in the jungles
of Uganda? Are the jungles or I think it's jungle
with jungle and Uh, they're learning to use primitive medicine
and tools and stuff. They're gonna kill you.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Oh, Gonda ooh not you see, that's that's the americanization
of the country. Uh, they prefer you just sayda.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Is this one of those things where if I pronounce
it correctly, it's actually kind of racist.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I think he's trying to get you in trouble. Well,
like the capital, say it with me, Gonda, Oh yeah,
you're going down now? No, No, that's not fair. That's
pretty pretty bad. This is like when that Korean guy
taught me how to pronounce the word peong yang. How
do you say it? Young? The capitol in North Korea?
You have to shout it every time you say. Well,
that's what they do. I don't know why. They're very angry. Uh,
(11:07):
and of course they're not angry, they're passionate. Yeah, that's
that's the ticket.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
And when I say they, I mean Shermans, the German people.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No, that's how they.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
But all that said, we got bigger issues than Doha
cutter and violent chimpanzees. I'm more concerned about the exploding birds.
Exploding birds, you said, Bill, Yeah, this isn't a joke.
There's like birds you keep it a cage at your house,
you know, Well, my mama got a bird. Well, I
mean you know, daddy has one too, but it's her bird.
(11:39):
But he does like defeed it. No, no, no, this
is uh, this is death from above, Billy. I don't
know birds flying over the air that well, they do
that if you let them out of the cage. There's
a town in California and they're dealing with exploding birds
right now and it's pretty serious. They're dropping dead in
a neighborhood and residents seem to think it has to
do with power lines.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
They don't know. Huh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The electrical company says it's most likely someone shooting the
birds out of the air.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
It's not their fault. Find a kid with a slingshot.
He's the one responsible. The birds aren't necessarily exploding, as
it could be a rock or a bullet is hitting
them and blowing them up. Well, it depends who you ask.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, if you ask the people at the power company,
they'll tell you and they're not exploding.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
If you ask the residents, they'll say they are. Do
the birds have to say for themselves.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, they're dead. They don't have anything to say. What
about family? Hear if anybody interview family members or any
of the other birds that were sitting there watching, No, no, no.
All we have is this SoundBite from residents talking about
the mystery.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's a mystery. I think that's how we all feel
is it's inexplicable. Sounds like a firecracker and a black
I think it was a starling just plumbed to the ground.
Super traumatic to see this feel like a baby gun
doesn't make firecracker noise. I can't fat them. Somebody could
be that accurate all the time. I know where the
sound is coming from. It is coming from up on
the poor. That particular wire does sizzle an arc. At times,
(13:02):
we just want it solved, like at the end of
the day. Oh they good until the end of the
close of business, or you better solve this thing. Guys.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I've seen this before. I've seen this movie The Birds. Yeah,
Alfred Hitchcock, this was a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I didn't think they exploded though. Most of them just
attacked and picked your eyes out. Sure, then those were
twentieth century. They've come a long way. Now.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Have you ever heard the conspiracy theory that birds are fake?
They're just robots flying around in the sky. Well everybody
knows that. Okay, cool, it's just making sure I'm not crazy. No,
hardly crazy at all. Well, if you've heard it, then
I won't explain it to you, right, But that's what
some people seem to fay.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
This is exciting. This is the night that all the
Chicago stories come on TV. I just noticed tonight on
whatever network this is Chicago Mad, Chicago Fire, Chicago p D.
And then follow that up with the great new Chicago Pope.
Stop Pope. That is going to be fabulous. Have you
seen it yet? Yeah? He eats Broughtworth and he goes
(14:01):
to a Bears game. There. You know.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The thing about the Pope is he lives in Bridgeport. Yeah,
he's got a porch. It's made up of birch. It's
made out of birch. His porch is made out of birch. Yeah, yeah,
that's how they talk on it. I used to work
at a music store on the South side of Chicago
and we had this guy named Sal and Sal worked
in the drum department and people would come in and
they would ask Sal questions and he would just make
(14:25):
up the answers because he didn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
They'd walk in. They'd be like, Hey, what are those
drums made out of?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
He's like, oh, them, those are right, those are maple,
was going to be birch.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And then he'd say, well, what's up. What about that
drum set next door? Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Them, do those are birch? What are the drum sticks
made out of? They're made an elm elm, Yeah, those
are elm. It was like, Sal, I don't perhaps chestnut.
Well that's what he said to the last That's why
I went away. There's no consistency here.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Sal. I'm me gonning to think you're just making up
the answers as you go along. Turns out he was.
It turns out Sale was on a lot of drugs.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Years later we learned he woul snorting cocaine in the
parking lot him and his girlfriend. She worked in the
speaker department, but They were a fun group. You know,
they got six kids now the time. They haven't talked
in years. But anyway, you know, it doesn't matter. Love
finds a way, Nature finds a way.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, that's why they told us in Jurassic Part life
finds a way. Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And apparently two people earning minimum wage at a music
store on the South side of Chicago, who are hopped
up in amphetamines and their horny.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
They find a way too. Really, yeah, that's what we learned.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
What you don't seem to understand is I'm not trepped
in here with you.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You're in here with me. Stay tuned for more Walkman
Johnson
