Speaker 1 (00:00):
When we always do our capital punishment update.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Sure, yeah, it's true. Did anybody die from getting the update?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Is a capital punishment? That means we're gonna be putting
one to death here real soon.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I'm good with that.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah. Michigan City, Indiana. You ever been there. I don't
know what part of the state is it is. I
don't know Indiana, Okay, maybe nothing about it. Indiana man
was convicted of killing a police officer.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I've definitely been there. It's right at the border of
Indiana and Michigan near the lake.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
All right, there you go. Yeah. Benjamin Ritchie is his name.
He was twenty years old when I guess him and
somebody stole a van in a beech grove near Indianapolis. Sure,
they got chased by a police officer for stealing said van,
and mister Ritchie here decided to turn around and fire
(00:56):
four shots at the police officer who was chasing him
for steave in a van.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I talked to my lawyer about this, and he does
not recommend doing that. Not shooting no cops, shooting at
ap not stealing van, I mean both, but shooting at
the cops seems.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like a big mistake. This guy was already on probation
for a burglary conviction from a couple of years ago.
But in the year two thousand he was twenty years old.
Now he's forty five. Been on death row for over
twenty years, twenty five, I guess, and they just kept
(01:29):
you know, feeding him, kept supplying him with you know,
laundry and doing all that. So now all these years later,
they finally decided it's it's time to drop him. So
unless there's some you know, you know how politicians and
judges and people are, if they do some kind of
a last minute action or whatever, he will be put
(01:51):
to death by lethal injection sometime before sunrise tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Ray can ye.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
There's two more execution scheduled in Texas and two more
in Tennessee this week, so plenty of updates still to come.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I think if someone murders other people, we should get
to murder them back, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I think we are eventually, And especially if you kill
a cop, I mean, stole a van. It sounds like
to him and you know some other guys they were
just like goofing around, horse ripe whatever. But then to
shoot a cop over it that this seems a little
over the top. You know. The irony of all this
is if he just got arrested for stealing a van, yeah, he'd.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Have been twenty five years ago. Yeah, he'd been he'd
have been a free man years ago. He'd have got
rearrested for something else. He was already, he had a
sheet already.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Fair. Yeah, they would have got him for something. Yeah,
but they've been arguing against the death penalty. Believe it
or not, his lawyers think they shouldn't kill him. His
trial was ineffective. His lawyers didn't the evidence of blah blah.
You know what his problem was. What's that his his mama,
uh drank while she was pregnant with him. Really yeah,
(03:10):
so whatever he does in life should just be off
the hook. Yeah? Fine?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Is that an excuse? Does that work? Is mama drank?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean a lot of people's moms drank, especially back then,
and wasn't quite as much concern about the fetal alcohol syndrome.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Apparently, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Marijuana use and alcohol among pregnant women was pretty common.
I am told, huh, you know, so, no reason to
get mad at your mom for it, but certainly no
excuse to be murdering.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Not a good excuse to let somebody off the hook
for that kind of stuff. Yeah, well okay, so I
got that. And Texas and Tennessee on the clock as
they say, something to look forward to, not the draft.
I mean, I'm okay with LR on the clock. Though.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
If you kill we should get to kill you back.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That's just how I feel about Meanwhile, hundreds of youths
I know, I love it. Hundreds of youths to descended
upon a North Jersey mall Saturday night in a meetup
that was reportedly pre planned on social media and led
to a massive brawl. Seven miners were arrested in the
chaotic melee that's spurred by TikTok posts calling for juveniles
(04:14):
to meet at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New
Jersey that night. The out of control gathering soon grew exponentially,
from just one hundred people to over three hundred youths.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Bad youths. Oh this sounds like New York post riding
now it is. You're correct about that, yeah, utes to
do it well. At least four of.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The seven miners were arrested, apparently many of them were
at it from out of town. Edison police had to
call for a backup from neighboring police departments to clear
out the hooligans.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I know, I don't like the tom foolery. If they
rest three hundred miners, who's going to dig the coal?
Bill yead?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
They mean underage people, is what they mean? As Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
As all that, Yeah, you mean like Bezos's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I think you're thinking of Bill Belichick's girlfriend, both the
Wes Lauren Sanchiz in her fifties.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh okay, yeah, I don't think she counts, but cops,
they're both over eighteen. He's correcked. Yeah, that's mister conn
It's right about that. About all that being said, I
got to think when Bill Belichick started his football career,
his girlfriend didn't exist yet. Oh god no.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now, cops worked to get the rowdy crowd under control.
One officer fractured an ankle, None of the youths were injured,
and no weapons were recovered, according to the report.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You want to put the Bill Belichick girlfriend in perspective,
You're you're not quite forty three yet, all right, So
when will you turn forty forty eight? When will you
turn forty eight? In six years? In two thousand and
thirty sure, you'll turn forty three this year twenty three.
I'll be forty three next month. Okay, five more years, Okay,
(05:45):
five more years in twenty thirty. We'll look back at
this and remind you then that you are now the
age Bill Belichick was when his girlfriend was born. Okay,
in five more years, you need to start going around
all the hospitals and finding my new wife. But look
in the nursery for newborn girls mainly. I mean, if
(06:08):
that's still something you're interested after the way girls have
been treating you. I don't know why you don't, you know,
maybe try something different, But that's just you. How are
they treating me? Well, they're not. They're not being nice.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I did. I do get dumped a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, but you don't you're not offended by that? You don't.
You seem resilient.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Did I tell you I went on a date with
an Iranian woman recently?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, like, fresh off the boat from Iran, new to
the country, never been here before.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Didn't any shaved head. No, she's a tall black woman
with a bald head. No, she looked.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, who's that?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Who are you thinking of? Oh? Well no? Man? Are
you sure?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Are you taking at presently or the squad. That woman's
not an Iranian.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh where's she from?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I think the person you're talking about is from Like,
where is she from Jersey or something Connecticut or oh
not wink wink, Boston, somewhere on the Aparisca.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well maybe she's from England. I don't know. England is
a usually the first Muslim country to make a deal
on Trump's tariffs. Huh how about that? Yeah? How about that?
You got that going for him?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's great. Well, I'm sure she was excited about this.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Tell me about your date with the Iranian late What
was her name?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I don't know if I should say that on the
rail Oh, okay, protect her identity, but let's call her Ira.
We went on one date over the weekend, and I
don't think I'll ever see her again. And I took
her to go eat dinner at a Persian restaurant. You've
been there before.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That was awfully nice of you, trying to make her
feel at home in this foreign land.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Persian is just the polite word for Iranian.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, that way, it doesn't sound so killy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I've been there with two Iranians before. One of them
is a buddy of mine. He's a right wing YouTube personality.
He'd agree with most of our politics. This woman, I
have no idea, but two things I gathered from this
is that Iranians what they order when they go to
this restaurant is not the best thing on the menu.
They like burnt rice. Have you ever seen this before,
she wore. They like they're like little rice cakes that
(07:59):
are burned, their flavorless, and it reminds them of their
home country.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, and there's a lot of places in the Middle
East that are just their food's not that good.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And then the other thing that happened was Iranian people
don't realize sometimes you're in America. We can say whatever
we want with little to no consequences. I'll give you
an example. I criticized the Iatola. I said something like, yeah,
but I don't like the Iotolly. It seems like a jerk.
Did you clear.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Away all the sharp knives and things before you said
anything like that?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Obviously no, I was drinking a bourbon.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
At the time. You got to think ahead, can't you
think ahead? Get you know, leave the butter knife, maybe
you know, but get the steak knives, clear all that
stuff all. So, she says, I say. I said, I
don't like the Iotolly, it seems like a jerk. She
goes quiet, you'll get us into trouble, get arrested. And
then I said, you're in America. What are you worried about.
She's like, yeah, but there's Iranians here. I was like,
what do you think they're gonna do. I'm an American,
(08:51):
I'm armed, you know, I have a platform. No one's
gonna hurt us. And then she's like, yeah, yeah, but
I don't want to get into trouble. So very loudly,
I say the following I go, I said, the Ayatola
is my gay lover. I have gay sex of the Ayahtola.
And I guess you'll never see her again.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And in this loud, crowded restaurant where you could have
you could have heard somebody drop a pin on the floor,
got so quiet everybody turned and looked at us.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Did the other men in the restaurant go yeah, me too? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
How did you know?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I thought so? So the gender pay gap is real,
but gender isn't real, got it? Walton and Johnson Radio Network,
Have you ever been to Atlanta? Let me make sure
this is the same Atlanta, because I know there's one
in Texas. No, Atlanta, Georgia. Sure, have you ever been there?
(09:43):
I've been to both places for the record. Oh okay,
well try to remember your time in Atlanta, Georgia. I
mostly read you this headline.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Mostly just spending time at the airport. We hate that airport.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, it's a nasty one, one of the worst. Atlanta
keeps winning. Now named the number one smartest and most
educated city in America. Huh, the smartest city in the
USA for twenty twenty five. Smarter than Cambridge, or smarter
than Boston or Seattle, according to according to what Stockholm
(10:20):
real Estate Technology prop tech os whatever that l eddie
is exactly. I don't think they evaluated ninety five cities
across the United States and Europe using all these different qualifiers.
They focused on sustainability that means green or in the
(10:42):
hotel vernacular, which I've become accustomed to, uh tiny, uh cramped, small.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But it's a good selling point.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Clever with space, yes, sustainability clever, they're clever with space,
very clever with Have you ever stayed in an a
loft hotel room? No, but I stayed in one very similar,
I'm sure it's.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Like being in an iPhone. It's the tiniest little thing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But then every little bathroom a closet where when you
shut the door it could hit you in the nose
while you're sitting down.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I don't know if it was quite that bad, but
every little nook and cranny in an a loft hotel
room is a thing like it's a drawer or a table.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You pull it out and there's a desk like, oh,
there's a slide out desk here. Yeah, very strange. Oh,
the one I stayed in had a fold out desk.
That's what this is.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
The wall, that's what this is like.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's like being in a Swiss army knife. Right, Yeah,
it's very strange. Anyway, Atlanta is just real smart now.
And for those of you who live maybe outside of
Atlanta and get into town occasionally, you're probably wondering, what
the hell are these people talking about? Yeah, what are they? Well,
a lot of it has to do with the technological advancements.
(11:51):
Atlanta ranks among the most educated city. The Forbes says
sixty percent of the residents had a bachelor's degree, so
a lot of single people twenty five percent possess a
graduate degree a Georgia Institute of Technology and Emery, and
(12:11):
all these different higher educational situations here they all beig
on that. So and a lot of AI going on
a lot of AI in Atlanta. So that just knowe
that wherever you live, if it ain't Atlanta, y'all just
ain't as smart.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Isn't this amazing?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know what this tells us? It tells us that
Tyler Perry is really bringing up the media and IQ level.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
There.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That guy you think he's doing it must be a genius.
In the meantime, a Los Angeles business owner has found
a novel way to keep hobos from camping near his building.
He plays a song on loop all the time, the
same song just over there?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Is it? Rick Astley?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
No, that was what I thought it might be, Rick Roll, No,
it's not. It's this hang on, I should have upcuted it.
Here we go, anybody, first person, I guess it right.
Twenty bucks game from Jaws, No Tame for job. I
could see why you'd think that. No, it's not close though.
(13:13):
It's the baby, the baby, the thing, baby shark shark. Yeah,
I was gonna say fish.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I knew that was it, right.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So this business owner in La plays the baby Shark
theme all night long to keep hobos from camping out
next to the building that might do it at the
corner of West eleventh and Main Street. They're doing everything
they can to make people move or drive them crazy.
The building owners began playing the song through a loudspeaker
pointed directly at the homeless encampment. People are offended. They
think it's very insensitive and unkind. But what would you
(13:45):
do if you're the business owner.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
No, the business owner is not allowed to be offended
or think that the people that are camping out there
are offensive and right kind exactly, only this one side.
They're the victim here. Shalem Styles owns the barbershop Styles
Barbershop Lounge around the corner from the business playing Baby Shark.
He told the news outlet they aren't trying to be
(14:09):
mean or insensitive, but they have businesses to run and
they're just trying to survive. Nobody wants to come near
the barber shop because it looks like you could get
hepatitis from walking near these guys. I could imagine so.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
California Governor Gavin Newsom released details last week about his
multimillion dollar plan to tackle the hobo crisis. And so
if you're offended by what this business owner just did,
just know that you probably voted for the guy who
agrees with the business owner get rid of all the hobos. Yeah,
but one person that doesn't agree with Gavin Newsom is
Gavin Newsom from two years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh yeah, Gavin is definitely distancing himself from his old self.
Now he's shed his old skin and has become a
beautiful butterfly out of the caterpillar he was. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
And meanwhile, while we're in California, another.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Really weird news story today, the Bay Area has an
issue right now with birds.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's the duck thought hunt theme. I just I thought
it went nicely with this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Bay Your residents are reporting that dozens of birds are
exploding and falling out of the sky mid flight.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
There's video of it happening.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That's called a shotgun turns out, No, I don't know, Yeah,
I don't think that's.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
What's happens when you go on a duck hunt. That's
what you use.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's San Francisco Billy, Nobody's duck hunting.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
There after you're playing the duck hunting song.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I know because it's just fun.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Right. I'm from the eighties, but I'm not supposed to
play alone. To me, this is what real music sounds like.
Oh taste story, fine, don't have any phone, just taste store.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
One ring camera caught the instant of a bird's demise
on video. You can actually watch it happening. It just
pops and bursts mid flight. Residents watching it are very confused,
they said, so when they land it happens, they just
quickly explode.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's really violent. It sounded like a firecracker and a blackbird,
a very startling just plummeted to the ground. I've been
under the birds when it happens, and I know where
the sound is coming from. Is it pop rocks?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
The sound is coming from up on a pole.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Caused the residents to call the electrical company who had
a fish, who had fish and wildlife come out and
inspect the birds.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I guess it's the government department.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
The residents aren't satisfied with the answer. The answer they
gave was they have shared that the birds show no
evidence of electrocution and that their deaths were caused by trauma,
potentially from a pellet or a BB gun or a
sling shot, not a shot gun. Yeah, they say, no,
they would have heard that. Yeah, I think so too,
But mister Kenneth, the residents aren't satisfied with the answer.
Someone said, I feel like a bb gun doesn't make
(16:34):
a firecracker noise. The folks on the internet have their
own ideas about what's happening. Sounds like someone's feeding the
birds into acids.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Pop rocks. I think they got pop rock man, and
they eat that up and then they take a drink
and it go fizzy and swells up and then feathers
ever war.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I mean it is possible, right, Yeah, nobody really quite
understands it. I will tell you this though, and I
don't want to sound insensitive here, but it sounds hilarious.
It really does, does it. The birds are just exploding
in the middle kind of no, No, not funny at all. Well, look,
you already live in what is it, San Francisco. You
already live somewhere where there's just dukie and feces and
(17:13):
hypodermic needles all over the place. Now the sky is
as disgusting as the ground is. The birds are pigeons
are exploding midair. I mean, it is a little funny.
You know, sorry, guys, don't. We don't get to decide
if it's funny. It's objectively funny. Pigeons are just exploding
in mid air. You're just standing around, A pigeon flies
by and it goes bow.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, we won't have to worry about that much longer,
because over two hundred researchers have gotten together and issued
a dire warning that we, the people that live on
planet Earth, yeah, are headed for a pivotal moment in
human history that we are just not ready for. Apparently.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Oh wait a second, is this what I think it is?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I guess it is.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Are you doing it right now?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I hate to be the one to bring this up.
We're all about to die.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh my god, mister Kenneth, you need to prepare me
for this ahead of time, to.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Time the end of the world. Yep, these are prophecies
from the end of time, and.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's probably brought to you by Dragos.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I mean, if we're all about to go, when your
last meal will be great if it was Dragos, if.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The world's gonna end, I want to have some chargrilled oysters, yeah,
and I want to drink a bourbon.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And they got they got a good bourbon.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Selectually and you probably want that U grilled cheese, crab meat,
grilled cheese sandwich. It's truffle. Yeah, it's it's crab meat
and grilled cheese and it's truffle sauce. It's good, it's amazing.
It's not part of the sandwich. It's part of the deal.
It's the Depp. Yeah, the truffle dep It's still incredible.
The sandwich is a grilled cheese, crab crab meat sandwich.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But it all comes on the same play. You're getting
the truffle sauce. Dragos dot Com.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah. Yes, our planet is heating up at a record pace.
Even with our technology and resilience, we've apparently passed the
tipping point according to this new story.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Well, if I can't do anything about it, I disagree.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
We have passed the tipping point and there's there's no
stopping it now. Okay, Well, then, like you said, I
think we can all just relax and go with it, right.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Well, AOSC did say it was too late to stop
it from happening. Yeah, And if there's nothing we can
do about it, just ride the wave, mo Man.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, oh boy, you know, it's just tragic. I was
reading a story recently about a flood that took place
in Ohio in eighteen eleven.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Why O, Wyo Wiow would you want to learn about Ohio?
Believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
In eighteen eleven that was the Northwest territories. Sure that
makes sense because you know, all we knew with the
Thirteen Colonies is just after the war with England, and
so they're starting to explore north and west of the colonies,
and Ohio was where they were settling. Well, one time,
a midget pro wrestler told me he was confused that
(20:09):
we call Ohio the Midwest because there's a lot more
stuff out west to the exactly. But there for a while,
that was the That was the far Northwest territory that
was just unexplored, nothing but wild savages living out there,
according to the people of the time. Savages. Who would
the savages be, mister Kettle, I guess they all went away,
no way, no, no. Yeah. So the flood that took place,
(20:31):
they said, I guess was the Ohio River. It had
steep banks, like twenty five feet you know, above the
regular you know, stage of the river. And they said, well,
it's never flooded higher than twenty five feet before. And
then it did in February, of all the years, in
all the seasons, while it was covered with ice, the
(20:55):
river rose forty five feet twenty feet higher than any
record show that had ever gone before. What caused that
sudden change in eighteen eleven. Maybe they were listening to
that Creed song higher it could have been. Yeah, all
(21:16):
the musket fire. Maybe all the musket fire, you know,
changed the atmosphere climate change from Columbus's ships. You know,
imagine how much fuel he probably had to use for
those ships.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, you know it. Yeah, they didn't even have carbon
emissions prevention back.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It's also funny reading about the modern breakthrough technology of steamboats. Oh,
that must have been it. When they came up with steamboats,
they were shocked to find out that they could now
navigate the river upstream against the current and the wind.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And still get up to five miles an hour. That's
what caused it, right there, That was the climate change.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Best thing I want to be when the end of
the world comes is sober. Walton and Johnson Radio Network
When we always do our capital punishment update.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Sure, yeah, it's true. Did anybody die from getting the update?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Is a capital punishment? That means we're gonna be putting
one to death here real soon.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I'm good with that.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah. Michigan City, Indiana. You ever been there. I don't
know what part of the state is it is. I
don't know Indiana, Okay, maybe nothing about it. Indiana man
was convicted of killing a police officer.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I've definitely been there. It's right at the border of
Indiana and Michigan near the lake.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
All right, there you go. Yeah. Benjamin Ritchie is his name.
He was twenty years old when I guess him and
somebody stole a van in a beech grove near Indianapolis. Sure,
they got chased by a police officer for stealing said van,
and mister Ritchie here decided to turn around and fire
(00:56):
four shots at the police officer who was chasing him
for steave in a van.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I talked to my lawyer about this, and he does
not recommend doing that. Not shooting no cops, shooting at
ap not stealing van, I mean both, but shooting at
the cops seems.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like a big mistake. This guy was already on probation
for a burglary conviction from a couple of years ago.
But in the year two thousand he was twenty years old.
Now he's forty five. Been on death row for over
twenty years, twenty five, I guess, and they just kept
(01:29):
you know, feeding him, kept supplying him with you know,
laundry and doing all that. So now all these years later,
they finally decided it's it's time to drop him. So
unless there's some you know, you know how politicians and
judges and people are, if they do some kind of
a last minute action or whatever, he will be put
(01:51):
to death by lethal injection sometime before sunrise tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Ray can ye.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
There's two more execution scheduled in Texas and two more
in Tennessee this week, so plenty of updates still to come.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I think if someone murders other people, we should get
to murder them back, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I think we are eventually, And especially if you kill
a cop, I mean, stole a van. It sounds like
to him and you know some other guys they were
just like goofing around, horse ripe whatever. But then to
shoot a cop over it that this seems a little
over the top. You know. The irony of all this
is if he just got arrested for stealing a van, yeah, he'd.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Have been twenty five years ago. Yeah, he'd been he'd
have been a free man years ago. He'd have got
rearrested for something else. He was already, he had a
sheet already.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Fair. Yeah, they would have got him for something. Yeah,
but they've been arguing against the death penalty. Believe it
or not, his lawyers think they shouldn't kill him. His
trial was ineffective. His lawyers didn't the evidence of blah blah.
You know what his problem was. What's that his his mama,
uh drank while she was pregnant with him. Really yeah,
(03:10):
so whatever he does in life should just be off
the hook. Yeah? Fine?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Is that an excuse? Does that work? Is mama drank?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean a lot of people's moms drank, especially back then,
and wasn't quite as much concern about the fetal alcohol syndrome.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Apparently, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Marijuana use and alcohol among pregnant women was pretty common.
I am told, huh, you know, so, no reason to
get mad at your mom for it, but certainly no
excuse to be murdering.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Not a good excuse to let somebody off the hook
for that kind of stuff. Yeah, well okay, so I
got that. And Texas and Tennessee on the clock as
they say, something to look forward to, not the draft.
I mean, I'm okay with LR on the clock. Though.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
If you kill we should get to kill you back.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That's just how I feel about Meanwhile, hundreds of youths
I know, I love it. Hundreds of youths to descended
upon a North Jersey mall Saturday night in a meetup
that was reportedly pre planned on social media and led
to a massive brawl. Seven miners were arrested in the
chaotic melee that's spurred by TikTok posts calling for juveniles
(04:14):
to meet at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New
Jersey that night. The out of control gathering soon grew exponentially,
from just one hundred people to over three hundred youths.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Bad youths. Oh this sounds like New York post riding
now it is. You're correct about that, yeah, utes to
do it well. At least four of.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The seven miners were arrested, apparently many of them were
at it from out of town. Edison police had to
call for a backup from neighboring police departments to clear
out the hooligans.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I know, I don't like the tom foolery. If they
rest three hundred miners, who's going to dig the coal?
Bill yead?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
They mean underage people, is what they mean? As Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
As all that, Yeah, you mean like Bezos's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I think you're thinking of Bill Belichick's girlfriend, both the
Wes Lauren Sanchiz in her fifties.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh okay, yeah, I don't think she counts, but cops,
they're both over eighteen. He's correcked. Yeah, that's mister conn
It's right about that. About all that being said, I
got to think when Bill Belichick started his football career,
his girlfriend didn't exist yet. Oh god no.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now, cops worked to get the rowdy crowd under control.
One officer fractured an ankle, None of the youths were injured,
and no weapons were recovered, according to the report.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You want to put the Bill Belichick girlfriend in perspective,
You're you're not quite forty three yet, all right, So
when will you turn forty forty eight? When will you
turn forty eight? In six years? In two thousand and
thirty sure, you'll turn forty three this year twenty three.
I'll be forty three next month. Okay, five more years, Okay,
(05:45):
five more years in twenty thirty. We'll look back at
this and remind you then that you are now the
age Bill Belichick was when his girlfriend was born. Okay,
in five more years, you need to start going around
all the hospitals and finding my new wife. But look
in the nursery for newborn girls mainly. I mean, if
(06:08):
that's still something you're interested after the way girls have
been treating you. I don't know why you don't, you know,
maybe try something different, But that's just you. How are
they treating me? Well, they're not. They're not being nice.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I did. I do get dumped a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, but you don't you're not offended by that? You don't.
You seem resilient.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Did I tell you I went on a date with
an Iranian woman recently?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, like, fresh off the boat from Iran, new to
the country, never been here before.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Didn't any shaved head. No, she's a tall black woman
with a bald head. No, she looked.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, who's that?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Who are you thinking of? Oh? Well no? Man? Are
you sure?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Are you taking at presently or the squad. That woman's
not an Iranian.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh where's she from?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I think the person you're talking about is from Like,
where is she from Jersey or something Connecticut or oh
not wink wink, Boston, somewhere on the Aparisca.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well maybe she's from England. I don't know. England is
a usually the first Muslim country to make a deal
on Trump's tariffs. Huh how about that? Yeah? How about that?
You got that going for him?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's great. Well, I'm sure she was excited about this.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Tell me about your date with the Iranian late What
was her name?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I don't know if I should say that on the
rail Oh, okay, protect her identity, but let's call her Ira.
We went on one date over the weekend, and I
don't think I'll ever see her again. And I took
her to go eat dinner at a Persian restaurant. You've
been there before.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That was awfully nice of you, trying to make her
feel at home in this foreign land.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Persian is just the polite word for Iranian.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, that way, it doesn't sound so killy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I've been there with two Iranians before. One of them
is a buddy of mine. He's a right wing YouTube personality.
He'd agree with most of our politics. This woman, I
have no idea, but two things I gathered from this
is that Iranians what they order when they go to
this restaurant is not the best thing on the menu.
They like burnt rice. Have you ever seen this before,
she wore. They like they're like little rice cakes that
(07:59):
are burned, their flavorless, and it reminds them of their
home country.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, and there's a lot of places in the Middle
East that are just their food's not that good.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And then the other thing that happened was Iranian people
don't realize sometimes you're in America. We can say whatever
we want with little to no consequences. I'll give you
an example. I criticized the Iatola. I said something like, yeah,
but I don't like the Iotolly. It seems like a jerk.
Did you clear.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Away all the sharp knives and things before you said
anything like that?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Obviously no, I was drinking a bourbon.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
At the time. You got to think ahead, can't you
think ahead? Get you know, leave the butter knife, maybe
you know, but get the steak knives, clear all that
stuff all. So, she says, I say. I said, I
don't like the Iotolly, it seems like a jerk. She
goes quiet, you'll get us into trouble, get arrested. And
then I said, you're in America. What are you worried about.
She's like, yeah, but there's Iranians here. I was like,
what do you think they're gonna do. I'm an American,
(08:51):
I'm armed, you know, I have a platform. No one's
gonna hurt us. And then she's like, yeah, yeah, but
I don't want to get into trouble. So very loudly,
I say the following I go, I said, the Ayatola
is my gay lover. I have gay sex of the Ayahtola.
And I guess you'll never see her again.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And in this loud, crowded restaurant where you could have
you could have heard somebody drop a pin on the floor,
got so quiet everybody turned and looked at us.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Did the other men in the restaurant go yeah, me too? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
How did you know?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I thought so? So the gender pay gap is real,
but gender isn't real, got it? Walton and Johnson Radio Network,
Have you ever been to Atlanta? Let me make sure
this is the same Atlanta, because I know there's one
in Texas. No, Atlanta, Georgia. Sure, have you ever been there?
(09:43):
I've been to both places for the record. Oh okay,
well try to remember your time in Atlanta, Georgia. I
mostly read you this headline.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Mostly just spending time at the airport. We hate that airport.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, it's a nasty one, one of the worst. Atlanta
keeps winning. Now named the number one smartest and most
educated city in America. Huh, the smartest city in the
USA for twenty twenty five. Smarter than Cambridge, or smarter
than Boston or Seattle, according to according to what Stockholm
(10:20):
real Estate Technology prop tech os whatever that l eddie
is exactly. I don't think they evaluated ninety five cities
across the United States and Europe using all these different qualifiers.
They focused on sustainability that means green or in the
(10:42):
hotel vernacular, which I've become accustomed to, uh tiny, uh cramped, small.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But it's a good selling point.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Clever with space, yes, sustainability clever, they're clever with space,
very clever with Have you ever stayed in an a
loft hotel room? No, but I stayed in one very similar,
I'm sure it's.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Like being in an iPhone. It's the tiniest little thing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But then every little bathroom a closet where when you
shut the door it could hit you in the nose
while you're sitting down.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I don't know if it was quite that bad, but
every little nook and cranny in an a loft hotel
room is a thing like it's a drawer or a table.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
You pull it out and there's a desk like, oh,
there's a slide out desk here. Yeah, very strange. Oh,
the one I stayed in had a fold out desk.
That's what this is.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
The wall, that's what this is like.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's like being in a Swiss army knife. Right, Yeah,
it's very strange. Anyway, Atlanta is just real smart now.
And for those of you who live maybe outside of
Atlanta and get into town occasionally, you're probably wondering, what
the hell are these people talking about? Yeah, what are they? Well,
a lot of it has to do with the technological advancements.
(11:51):
Atlanta ranks among the most educated city. The Forbes says
sixty percent of the residents had a bachelor's degree, so
a lot of single people twenty five percent possess a
graduate degree a Georgia Institute of Technology and Emery, and
(12:11):
all these different higher educational situations here they all beig
on that. So and a lot of AI going on
a lot of AI in Atlanta. So that just knowe
that wherever you live, if it ain't Atlanta, y'all just
ain't as smart.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Isn't this amazing?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know what this tells us? It tells us that
Tyler Perry is really bringing up the media and IQ level.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
There.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That guy you think he's doing it must be a genius.
In the meantime, a Los Angeles business owner has found
a novel way to keep hobos from camping near his building.
He plays a song on loop all the time, the
same song just over there?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Is it? Rick Astley?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
No, that was what I thought it might be, Rick Roll, No,
it's not. It's this hang on, I should have upcuted it.
Here we go, anybody, first person, I guess it right.
Twenty bucks game from Jaws, No Tame for job. I
could see why you'd think that. No, it's not close though.
(13:13):
It's the baby, the baby, the thing, baby shark shark. Yeah,
I was gonna say fish.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I knew that was it, right.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So this business owner in La plays the baby Shark
theme all night long to keep hobos from camping out
next to the building that might do it at the
corner of West eleventh and Main Street. They're doing everything
they can to make people move or drive them crazy.
The building owners began playing the song through a loudspeaker
pointed directly at the homeless encampment. People are offended. They
think it's very insensitive and unkind. But what would you
(13:45):
do if you're the business owner.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
No, the business owner is not allowed to be offended
or think that the people that are camping out there
are offensive and right kind exactly, only this one side.
They're the victim here. Shalem Styles owns the barbershop Styles
Barbershop Lounge around the corner from the business playing Baby Shark.
He told the news outlet they aren't trying to be
(14:09):
mean or insensitive, but they have businesses to run and
they're just trying to survive. Nobody wants to come near
the barber shop because it looks like you could get
hepatitis from walking near these guys. I could imagine so.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
California Governor Gavin Newsom released details last week about his
multimillion dollar plan to tackle the hobo crisis. And so
if you're offended by what this business owner just did,
just know that you probably voted for the guy who
agrees with the business owner get rid of all the hobos. Yeah,
but one person that doesn't agree with Gavin Newsom is
Gavin Newsom from two years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh yeah, Gavin is definitely distancing himself from his old self.
Now he's shed his old skin and has become a
beautiful butterfly out of the caterpillar he was. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
And meanwhile, while we're in California, another.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Really weird news story today, the Bay Area has an
issue right now with birds.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's the duck thought hunt theme. I just I thought
it went nicely with this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Bay Your residents are reporting that dozens of birds are
exploding and falling out of the sky mid flight.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
There's video of it happening.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That's called a shotgun turns out, No, I don't know, Yeah,
I don't think that's.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
What's happens when you go on a duck hunt. That's
what you use.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's San Francisco Billy, Nobody's duck hunting.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
There after you're playing the duck hunting song.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I know because it's just fun.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Right. I'm from the eighties, but I'm not supposed to
play alone. To me, this is what real music sounds like.
Oh taste story, fine, don't have any phone, just taste store.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
One ring camera caught the instant of a bird's demise
on video. You can actually watch it happening. It just
pops and bursts mid flight. Residents watching it are very confused,
they said, so when they land it happens, they just
quickly explode.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's really violent. It sounded like a firecracker and a blackbird,
a very startling just plummeted to the ground. I've been
under the birds when it happens, and I know where
the sound is coming from. Is it pop rocks?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
The sound is coming from up on a pole.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Caused the residents to call the electrical company who had
a fish, who had fish and wildlife come out and
inspect the birds.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I guess it's the government department.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
The residents aren't satisfied with the answer. The answer they
gave was they have shared that the birds show no
evidence of electrocution and that their deaths were caused by trauma,
potentially from a pellet or a BB gun or a
sling shot, not a shot gun. Yeah, they say, no,
they would have heard that. Yeah, I think so too,
But mister Kenneth, the residents aren't satisfied with the answer.
Someone said, I feel like a bb gun doesn't make
(16:34):
a firecracker noise. The folks on the internet have their
own ideas about what's happening. Sounds like someone's feeding the
birds into acids.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Pop rocks. I think they got pop rock man, and
they eat that up and then they take a drink
and it go fizzy and swells up and then feathers
ever war.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I mean it is possible, right, Yeah, nobody really quite
understands it. I will tell you this though, and I
don't want to sound insensitive here, but it sounds hilarious.
It really does, does it. The birds are just exploding
in the middle kind of no, No, not funny at all. Well, look,
you already live in what is it, San Francisco. You
already live somewhere where there's just dukie and feces and
(17:13):
hypodermic needles all over the place. Now the sky is
as disgusting as the ground is. The birds are pigeons
are exploding midair. I mean, it is a little funny.
You know, sorry, guys, don't. We don't get to decide
if it's funny. It's objectively funny. Pigeons are just exploding
in mid air. You're just standing around, A pigeon flies
by and it goes bow.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, we won't have to worry about that much longer,
because over two hundred researchers have gotten together and issued
a dire warning that we, the people that live on
planet Earth, yeah, are headed for a pivotal moment in
human history that we are just not ready for. Apparently.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Oh wait a second, is this what I think it is?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I guess it is.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Are you doing it right now?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I hate to be the one to bring this up.
We're all about to die.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh my god, mister Kenneth, you need to prepare me
for this ahead of time, to.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Time the end of the world. Yep, these are prophecies
from the end of time, and.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's probably brought to you by Dragos.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I mean, if we're all about to go, when your
last meal will be great if it was Dragos, if.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The world's gonna end, I want to have some chargrilled oysters, yeah,
and I want to drink a bourbon.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And they got they got a good bourbon.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Selectually and you probably want that U grilled cheese, crab meat,
grilled cheese sandwich. It's truffle. Yeah, it's it's crab meat
and grilled cheese and it's truffle sauce. It's good, it's amazing.
It's not part of the sandwich. It's part of the deal.
It's the Depp. Yeah, the truffle dep It's still incredible.
The sandwich is a grilled cheese, crab crab meat sandwich.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But it all comes on the same play. You're getting
the truffle sauce. Dragos dot Com.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah. Yes, our planet is heating up at a record pace.
Even with our technology and resilience, we've apparently passed the
tipping point according to this new story.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Well, if I can't do anything about it, I disagree.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
We have passed the tipping point and there's there's no
stopping it now. Okay, Well, then, like you said, I
think we can all just relax and go with it, right.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Well, AOSC did say it was too late to stop
it from happening. Yeah, And if there's nothing we can
do about it, just ride the wave, mo Man.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, oh boy, you know, it's just tragic. I was
reading a story recently about a flood that took place
in Ohio in eighteen eleven.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Why O, Wyo Wiow would you want to learn about Ohio?
Believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
In eighteen eleven that was the Northwest territories. Sure that
makes sense because you know, all we knew with the
Thirteen Colonies is just after the war with England, and
so they're starting to explore north and west of the colonies,
and Ohio was where they were settling. Well, one time,
a midget pro wrestler told me he was confused that
(20:09):
we call Ohio the Midwest because there's a lot more
stuff out west to the exactly. But there for a while,
that was the That was the far Northwest territory that
was just unexplored, nothing but wild savages living out there,
according to the people of the time. Savages. Who would
the savages be, mister Kettle, I guess they all went away,
no way, no, no. Yeah. So the flood that took place,
(20:31):
they said, I guess was the Ohio River. It had
steep banks, like twenty five feet you know, above the
regular you know, stage of the river. And they said, well,
it's never flooded higher than twenty five feet before. And
then it did in February, of all the years, in
all the seasons, while it was covered with ice, the
(20:55):
river rose forty five feet twenty feet higher than any
record show that had ever gone before. What caused that
sudden change in eighteen eleven. Maybe they were listening to
that Creed song higher it could have been. Yeah, all
(21:16):
the musket fire. Maybe all the musket fire, you know,
changed the atmosphere climate change from Columbus's ships. You know,
imagine how much fuel he probably had to use for
those ships.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, you know it. Yeah, they didn't even have carbon
emissions prevention back.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It's also funny reading about the modern breakthrough technology of steamboats. Oh,
that must have been it. When they came up with steamboats,
they were shocked to find out that they could now
navigate the river upstream against the current and the wind.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And still get up to five miles an hour. That's
what caused it, right there, That was the climate change.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Best thing I want to be when the end of
the world comes is sober. Walton and Johnson Radio Network
