Speaker 1 (00:01):
How do we feel about songs where they record the
guitarists just tuning his guitar at the beginning.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Is that cool? Or is it that's the best? Yeah?
Best ever.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's kind of like when they not so good for
radio but better, you know, if you play it at home.
I hate when there's a live recording and they include
something on the I mean, I hate all live recordings,
but I know you do. I hate when there's something
on the middle of the album where the lead singer's
just talking because he thinks he's funny, and it's not
a stand up comedy bit. It was just a weird,
quirky moment that happened one night when they were live
(00:32):
in Cleveland and.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You just needed to get something off his jess whatever
it was, he just felt like chatting for a bit.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Like musicians think they're funny and comedians think they're cool.
It's time to acknowledge the fact. Comedians, you're not funny
or you're not cool. You're funny. Musicians, you're not funny,
you're cool. Stay in your lane. They don't want to
do that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Actors all want to become rock stars, and barely rock
stars kind of want to lean into acting sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, they all think that they're interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, speaking of rock stars, I guess Rick Darringer qualifies
as a rock star, you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Know, rest in peace, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
One of my favorite soundtracks ever to any movie ever
was Days Did Confused and probably as a kid in
the nineties, to me, you know, not to make everyone
else feel old.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was the first time I ever heard this song.
Rick Darringer is dead.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It's seventy seventy that's all he gets.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
He's also well known for what is it? Oh, I
remember what it was? I almost forgot about this. One
of the things he's the most famous for.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Is not is right the Hulk Hogan w w E
theme song?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Good for him? Is Rick Derringer. Back in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
He believed Steely, Dan, Cyndi Lauper, Alice Cooper, and I
think most importantly, yeah, produced six albums for Weird awl.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh Okay, yeah, no, I mean that makes perfect sense
because the guitar solo in uh oh God, which one
was it? Now?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The man just totally on a weird al album? Yeah,
like bad or one of those fat fad I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I think it was the Michael Jackson take off. He
did the solo on that, and it was great work.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Let's see what famous weird al songs does he play
guitar on? Uh, it looks like he played on eat It. Yeah,
there you go, eat It. Yeah. The guitar contribution also
Amish Paradise. He was involved in Amish Love That song
smells like Nirvana, white and nerdy, like a surgeon. And
(02:55):
then some stuff I don't remember. I love Rocky Road.
I guess you could imagine. I don't remember that one,
but I suppose we know what it sounds like without
playing it now.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They didn't give any official calls of death, but he's
had several health related issues, including this is weird ankle
bypass surgery, where they create a new pathway for blood
to get around a blocked artery. Usually you hear bypass
surgery either your heart. This was in his ankle. I
don't think that's what killed him, at least I hope not.
(03:26):
I hope not too. How'd your buddy dies? His ankle
killed him?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He also played guitar on Bonnie Taylor Tyler's Total Eclipse
of the Hearts. I would not have would not have
thought that, but yeah, apparently This is a Rick Derringer song.
It's not a guitar, it's a piano. You can't fool me.
Bonnie Tyler produced free Ride from the Edgar Winter Group.
(03:53):
That's a great song, Frankenstein, that's a great song. Free
Ride is also on the soundtrack too, dastin Confa.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There's a lot of good music on that sound It's
one of the best. The only thing that makes it
suck is that kiss song.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
From an era of a well it was I think
it was set in the same year that I graduated
high school.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, so I was right there with them, bro. Yeah,
it's only I wasn't one of.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Those cool kids that went out there and actually, you know,
did stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Apparently the real American Hall Cogan theme song was also
used by President Barack Obama at the twenty eleven White
House Correspondence dinner when unveiling his birth certificate. Then is
a campaign song by Hillary Clinton. And I can't help
but notice Hull Cogan never had a problem with them
using it, even though he was a Republican right but
every time Donald Trump plays a song at one of
(04:42):
his political rallies, lose their mind from someone who's not
politically aligned with.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Excuse me, boys, I know you're talking about this a
guitar player, guy, Rick Dringer. Are you not aware of
the fact that we're all in danger right now?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I didn't. I'm not aware.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Coming from multiple areas at the same time, we may
be surrounded by danger.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Keep your head and swivel.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You mean because our studio is in the middle of
crime ridd in Houston, or it's always the case.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We're used to that. Sure.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
No, highly infectious new COVID form from China has led
to spike in hospitalizations now has spread to the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
New COVID. Yay, I'm sorry. There's a new COVID, new COVID.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They call it a new strain of COVID nineteen, but
it can be COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's twenty twenty five now.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Uh, big spike in hospitalizations in China and now they've
detected it here. Too few cases to be properly tracked,
but they're ramping it up. They're ramping up this whole story.
I don't know if if this is for the mid
term elections or what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, they got the plans. I can tell you what
it is. According to the new York Times. Nineteen hours ago,
RFK Junior announced that the COVID shots will no longer
be recommended for children or pregnant women.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No longer recommended for anybody, including children and pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Eighteen hours later, the World Health Organization announces the COVID
nineteen variant NB one eighty one has been unleashed upon
the world and it's highly contagious.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I think I know why this is a news story.
There you go, you see that. Plus on top of that,
we've got the threat of more global warming, Arctic warming
going to be three times higher than the global average
in the coming years ahead. According to the weather experts
(06:46):
who didn't let me know that it was go rain
yesterday in the middle afternoon.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I hate to bring it up it because I want
to say a lot about that too. But just going
back to what we were just talking about for a second.
If the announcement about the vaccines happen yesterday and then
an hour later there was a new COVID strain, is
that technically a medical coincidence?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That ain't no coincidence?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Buddy, feels like feels a little two coincidental to be
a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't believe in them coincidences.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
All right, all right, let's back up on what you
just had to explain, the global warming thing. Back up
on anything for me, Okay, just circle back then, Jen Pesasi, Well, well,
the world is expected to experience more record temperatures over
the next five years with a Arctic warming three times
the global average. About an eighty percent chance at least
(07:35):
twenty percent of the weather over the next five years will.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Be a record.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Heat might be in like two and a half degrees
hotter than it has been over the last five or
ten years or whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, I heard this.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
They could still not have the slightest idea what they're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right, Pelly, I'd follow me down the rabbit hole
here for a second. A couple of years ago, when
you know who was still in charge and NASA was
mostly being used for climate change, NASA released to study
indicating Earth's atmosphere is cooling and in supper layers, particularly
the summer mesosphere over the poles, the mesosphere, and this
(08:17):
is due to increased rising carbon dioxide levels, So cooling
and then warming and then then cooling more and sometimes less,
and then warming more and then sometimes less.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I's almost like it's an unpredictable cycle. I want to
be clear about something because I think we're nothing but
not objective on this. The climate is changing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
What Yeah, when did this start happening? Apparently millions of
years ago. It's been going on for a while now,
and it is it is changing. And climate actually can
kill people, right, It's it's not always climate can cause death.
It can cause believe it or not, a natural disasters.
In fact, we have a word for that. It's called
natural disasters. Oh they call it that. Yeah, it's actually
(09:04):
what it's called. And it happens, and it's but statistically speaking,
you are ninety nine percent less likely to die from
a natural disaster related occurrence today than you would have
been when your grandparents were children. And I know that's
not a lot of fun to say out loud because
it kind of ruins the whole narrative.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
They'd like you to remember the fact that the government
knows best, yeah, and that you should do what you're
told and sit down and hush.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Now here's where this gets a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Apparently, the people telling you that global warming and climate
change and global cooling and YadA YadA, that that's going
to kill you. That's very deadly. They blame it on
modern technology. But get ready here, because I'm just being objective.
The solution, the thing that is saving people from these
natural disasters is in fact modern tech technology. Oh oh,
(10:03):
that's tricky business, right exactly. So on one hand, you know,
the technology evil human's bad, YadA YadA YadA. On the
other hand, that's also exactly what's going to save you
from this stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And we'll good to know that we're gonna be saved
from some of that. But what are we gonna do
about the ocean darkening?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Well, I've been told that when things get more diverse,
they're good. Is that do you mean? Like that beach
where everybody swims with their T shirts on?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I think that's what they must mean. Oh okay, do
you have any idea what time it is to celebrate
hump Day?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
It is Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Am I right? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Halfway through the.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Week Walton and Johnson Radio Network there. I'm very concerned
about the darkening ocean. Uh yeah, I didn't know that
they even swam. I was surprised about that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm shocked. I'm amazed.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I'm surprised they've come up with another way to scare
us besides the new COVID that's coming to kill us
all What is.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The darkening ocean? Billy had.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
More than one fifth of the global ocean water has
become darker over the past two decades. According to a
university study, something out of the global change biology become
a darker rees of ocean darkening. They think they just
(11:19):
make this cramp up things like algae bloom shifts and
surface temperatures and artificial light. What kind of artificial light
are people shining all over the ocean?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
All right, here's what I'm learning here.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
The ocean might look darker in some places due to
natural changes like feda plankton or sediment from the rivers.
It's a normal process, nothing to worry about, and the
ocean still safe and healthy overall.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Oh no, no, that's not going to work. You gotta
scare people ocean's darkening.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh my god, we're all gonna die. That's it. That's it.
The end has come. I can't help.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But notice here, if we tell people to be scared
because something's getting darker, doesn't that make us WHOA?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Right? WHOA?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Exactly? That's my point. So tell people it's fine, Everything
will be okay.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
The government just wants you to know that they're the
only thing that can save you.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And how of the governments saved me from the Indian
Ocean getting darker? They don't even have any jurisdiction there.
I don't know for sure. But it's just a global
government though. This is out of a Geneva or somewhere,
or somebody did some reporting.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You mean the United Nations? Is that where we are?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It looks that way because I feel a world order,
whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't. I don't want to call it that. If
that's the opposite. I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I was getting a blacker and hotter. Hmm, well, what
are you gonna do with that? That sounds great? You know,
usually hot and black. That's how I like my coffee exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
China hosted the world's first humanoid fighting competition, actually second
if you count the Real Housewives reunion, but I do.
And we also learned a Chinese company invent that invented
robots that can fight each other realistically in a ring,
apparently making headline all over the world.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now, so that's pretty full in there. Let's get the
robots to fight, kind of like they did with the homeless. Yeah,
remember those days. Sure, bum fights, bum fights's got to
come in and you know, stop all the good times.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I don't know. I think watching robots fight each other
could be entertaining.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I'm sure it will be. I probably like the bum
fights better. Probably true.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, speaking of bum up fights, Dallas Fort Worth area
lawmaker Jasmine Crockett is in the news again. Apparently she
thinks that Donald Trump needs to have his mental acuity checked.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Oh oh Trump does, yeah, yeah, because you know the
way he acts.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Here are two sound bites of Jasmine Crockett played side
by side. See if you could spot the difference.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
It is time for Republicans to start calling him out
and started questioning his mental acuity and whether or not
he is equipped to serve mentally.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Listen, I'm saying this.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You know, people try to talk about the mental acuity
of Joe Biden, and as someone who was able to
interact with him, I never questioned his mental acuity.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, no, why would you. He's a Democrat. Never even
came into question.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, but this is fine.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Don't worry about maybe her mental acuity if she even
has acuity I'm not sure about that. Maybe want to
look into that, see what her score comes up.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Ma'am jas Man, you're telling me this guy that does
three hour unscripted press conferences is not mentally right according
to you. But this other guy who gets hitted in
the White House basement for months at a time and
just dragged out for a few minutes, hopped up on
amphetamines and vitamin B so he can follow the easter
bunny around the yard and looks down at the ground
(14:48):
to figure out where the tape is so he could
confirm where he's supposed to walk in the room during
public events, is somehow mentally sound.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You got it, Muster. No, you've got to take her.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
She's still u black and she I don't see color
her Wait, I do see you now, because it's important
that you do. You have to believe what she says.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
It's like when a woman's screams, right, we must believe
the woman, and we must believe the black people.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And if she's a black and a woman, then well
there you go. She's got you now. Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I know it seems like we should always believe what
women or liberal women say or whatever. But here's Senator
Warren yesterday at a press conference, just straight up lying
about what is in the Big Beautiful Bill. I don't
like it that it's called a big beautiful bill. I
don't like the Big Beautiful Bill as a whole. But
what's not lying about it?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
If you guys are actually out there making history by
taking away from hard working families, from people down on
their luck, from seniors, from little babies, so that a
handful of billionaires and corporate CEOs can get more giveaways
from the government.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And I'm gonna posit right here.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The Big Beautiful Bill cuts taxes by fifteen percent for
people making between thirty thousand and eighty thousand dollars a year.
It increases wages up to eleven than six hundred dollars
per worker. It increases take home pay by up to
thirteen thousand, three hundred dollars for the typical family in
an average year. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. Apparently,
it cuts taxes on Social Security. Why is she lying, Well,
(16:25):
she's a Democrat and she's a native American.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah. Oh wait, that's right, she lied about that too.
That's right, Elizabeth. Any closing thoughts.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
That is the Republican plan. No billionaires win, everyone else loses.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It turns out no.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
So turns out this big beautiful bill that people seem
to be having a problem with didn't actually cut any
of the stuff. Doge found felt like a trillion dollars
of waste, but they didn't do anything about it in
the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That's what's crazy. That's the part of this that Elizabeth
Warren doesn't have a problem with.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
She's not mad that they love the waste because they're
receiving some of it.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So exactly, they can't actually articulate what they don't like
about it, but there are problems with it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
They're just not gonna say that out.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Loud because the things that we don't like about it
aren't the things that they don't.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like about it. Yeah, yeah, exactly, what are you gonna do?
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I learned something weird today about the Ukrainian War. I
don't know if this is cool or stupid or it's
just something, but Ukraine needed to find a way to
incentivize the young men in their country to fight Russia.
They didn't want to do it, so they came up
with a system where they give the fighters in Ukraine
points that they can trade in for rewards and it
(17:45):
works sort of like a video game. Yeah, I was
surprised by this. Apparently Ukraine has created a macab points
scheme based on video games to boost the effectiveness of
their soldiers.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Uh they're calling it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The program is called the Army of Drones Bonus Reward Program.
Rewards rewards soldiers with points if they upload videos proving
their drones have hit Russian targets. And it's going to
be integrated with a new online marketplace called Brave one Market,
which allows troops to convert those points into new equipment
for their units. It's funny.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know. I think that's very fine. It's a
different that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And I still, by the way, I still don't care
if Ukraine wins or loses this.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
But the just knock at all, you know. It's it's
Trump versus Putin.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I guess this day two since Memorial Day they took off,
so it's kicked In down.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I don't think that's true Trump, And yeah, they're going
at it. It took off from America's Memorial days.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Trump Trump took off and and then he come back
storming out last Night with the You know this guy's
he's he's in trouble. He's asking for it. Why I
on a is what Trump wanted to say.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Okay, so the program assigns points for each type of kill.
Twenty points for damaging and forty four destroying a tank,
so that's something you could certainly get. And then apparently
you get fifty points for destroying a mobile rocket system
and depending on the caliber, six points for killing an
enemy soldier.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You only get six points for killing a human. Does
seem low? They got to give out more points for
killing humans, you know, isn't that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I mean, if you just blow up like a tank
or something and you don't kill a human, have you
really stomped anything?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
How many of these Rooskies are getting points for killing
the Rooski? The communists in Ukraine?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I don't know what they're doing in Russia, but Ukraine
units will soon be able to use the special digital
points they've been getting since last year by trading them
in for new weapons like a vampire drone, for example,
costs forty three points. A drone nicknamed the Baba Yaga.
Do you know what Bobba Yaga is?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's that guy.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, Baba Yaga is a dessert. No, it's a place. No,
it's a fictional character in Russian. In Ukraine, it's like
a witch. It's like their version of the Boogeyman. I
don't know how else to explain it other Yeah, anyway,
for for that, you get what is it, a multi
rotor drone able to carry a fifteen kilogram warhead.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That's forty three points.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
The Ukrainian government will pay for the drones that are
ordered and will deliver them to the frontline unit within
a week. So if you kill a lot, you get
better weapons and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Sweet. They ought to give them money, you know, don
will sure you know what else? People like?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Can't they just rob the people that they kill. I
don't know because they're soldiers, so I don't know if
the other soldiers carrying any money on them. But you know,
you can take their their weapons. You if you were thirsty,
you could take their their canteen if they had one. Uh,
you know, you could raffle around through their pocket a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Well, they're killing them with a drone, billy. I'm not
sure that they're even in the same place as each other.
And yeah, it's too bad.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Apparently these Ukrainians, you know, they have what is it
over there? Money?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Money, and we gave them a lot of money. Oh yeah,
they have our money, yeah, a lot of it. And
women too, They have money and women.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
We're not getting that back. No, no, that's not alone.
That's just a gift.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, we're supposed to get some kind of mineral rights
or something. Have we looked into this? Does Ukraine earlier? Look,
I'm not saying that Ukrainians lie, but Zelenski does you know?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well? Yeah, yeah, do you trust the guy? Look at
the price, I guess now. It's seven point fifty five
a gallon. Hey, Pootin, we're sending you a bill. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
How do we feel about songs where they record the
guitarists just tuning his guitar at the beginning.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Is that cool? Or is it that's the best? Yeah?
Best ever.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's kind of like when they not so good for
radio but better, you know, if you play it at home.
I hate when there's a live recording and they include
something on the I mean, I hate all live recordings,
but I know you do. I hate when there's something
on the middle of the album where the lead singer's
just talking because he thinks he's funny, and it's not
a stand up comedy bit. It was just a weird,
quirky moment that happened one night when they were live
(00:32):
in Cleveland and.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You just needed to get something off his jess whatever
it was, he just felt like chatting for a bit.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Like musicians think they're funny and comedians think they're cool.
It's time to acknowledge the fact. Comedians, you're not funny
or you're not cool. You're funny. Musicians, you're not funny,
you're cool. Stay in your lane. They don't want to
do that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Actors all want to become rock stars, and barely rock
stars kind of want to lean into acting sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, they all think that they're interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, speaking of rock stars, I guess Rick Darringer qualifies
as a rock star, you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Know, rest in peace, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
One of my favorite soundtracks ever to any movie ever
was Days Did Confused and probably as a kid in
the nineties, to me, you know, not to make everyone
else feel old.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was the first time I ever heard this song.
Rick Darringer is dead.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It's seventy seventy that's all he gets.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
He's also well known for what is it? Oh, I
remember what it was? I almost forgot about this. One
of the things he's the most famous for.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Is not is right the Hulk Hogan w w E
theme song?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Good for him? Is Rick Derringer. Back in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
He believed Steely, Dan, Cyndi Lauper, Alice Cooper, and I
think most importantly, yeah, produced six albums for Weird awl.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh Okay, yeah, no, I mean that makes perfect sense
because the guitar solo in uh oh God, which one
was it? Now?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The man just totally on a weird al album? Yeah,
like bad or one of those fat fad I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I think it was the Michael Jackson take off. He
did the solo on that, and it was great work.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Let's see what famous weird al songs does he play
guitar on? Uh, it looks like he played on eat It. Yeah,
there you go, eat It. Yeah. The guitar contribution also
Amish Paradise. He was involved in Amish Love That song
smells like Nirvana, white and nerdy, like a surgeon. And
(02:55):
then some stuff I don't remember. I love Rocky Road.
I guess you could imagine. I don't remember that one,
but I suppose we know what it sounds like without
playing it now.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They didn't give any official calls of death, but he's
had several health related issues, including this is weird ankle
bypass surgery, where they create a new pathway for blood
to get around a blocked artery. Usually you hear bypass
surgery either your heart. This was in his ankle. I
don't think that's what killed him, at least I hope not.
(03:26):
I hope not too. How'd your buddy dies? His ankle
killed him?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He also played guitar on Bonnie Taylor Tyler's Total Eclipse
of the Hearts. I would not have would not have
thought that, but yeah, apparently This is a Rick Derringer song.
It's not a guitar, it's a piano. You can't fool me.
Bonnie Tyler produced free Ride from the Edgar Winter Group.
(03:53):
That's a great song, Frankenstein, that's a great song. Free
Ride is also on the soundtrack too, dastin Confa.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There's a lot of good music on that sound It's
one of the best. The only thing that makes it
suck is that kiss song.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
From an era of a well it was I think
it was set in the same year that I graduated
high school.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, so I was right there with them, bro. Yeah,
it's only I wasn't one of.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Those cool kids that went out there and actually, you know,
did stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Apparently the real American Hall Cogan theme song was also
used by President Barack Obama at the twenty eleven White
House Correspondence dinner when unveiling his birth certificate. Then is
a campaign song by Hillary Clinton. And I can't help
but notice Hull Cogan never had a problem with them
using it, even though he was a Republican right but
every time Donald Trump plays a song at one of
(04:42):
his political rallies, lose their mind from someone who's not
politically aligned with.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Excuse me, boys, I know you're talking about this a
guitar player, guy, Rick Dringer. Are you not aware of
the fact that we're all in danger right now?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I didn't. I'm not aware.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Coming from multiple areas at the same time, we may
be surrounded by danger.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Keep your head and swivel.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You mean because our studio is in the middle of
crime ridd in Houston, or it's always the case.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We're used to that. Sure.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
No, highly infectious new COVID form from China has led
to spike in hospitalizations now has spread to the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
New COVID. Yay, I'm sorry. There's a new COVID, new COVID.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They call it a new strain of COVID nineteen, but
it can be COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's twenty twenty five now.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Uh, big spike in hospitalizations in China and now they've
detected it here. Too few cases to be properly tracked,
but they're ramping it up. They're ramping up this whole story.
I don't know if if this is for the mid
term elections or what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, they got the plans. I can tell you what
it is. According to the new York Times. Nineteen hours ago,
RFK Junior announced that the COVID shots will no longer
be recommended for children or pregnant women.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No longer recommended for anybody, including children and pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Eighteen hours later, the World Health Organization announces the COVID
nineteen variant NB one eighty one has been unleashed upon
the world and it's highly contagious.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I think I know why this is a news story.
There you go, you see that. Plus on top of that,
we've got the threat of more global warming, Arctic warming
going to be three times higher than the global average
in the coming years ahead. According to the weather experts
(06:46):
who didn't let me know that it was go rain
yesterday in the middle afternoon.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I hate to bring it up it because I want
to say a lot about that too. But just going
back to what we were just talking about for a second.
If the announcement about the vaccines happen yesterday and then
an hour later there was a new COVID strain, is
that technically a medical coincidence?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That ain't no coincidence?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Buddy, feels like feels a little two coincidental to be
a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't believe in them coincidences.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
All right, all right, let's back up on what you
just had to explain, the global warming thing. Back up
on anything for me, Okay, just circle back then, Jen Pesasi, Well, well,
the world is expected to experience more record temperatures over
the next five years with a Arctic warming three times
the global average. About an eighty percent chance at least
(07:35):
twenty percent of the weather over the next five years will.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Be a record.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Heat might be in like two and a half degrees
hotter than it has been over the last five or
ten years or whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, I heard this.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
They could still not have the slightest idea what they're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right, Pelly, I'd follow me down the rabbit hole
here for a second. A couple of years ago, when
you know who was still in charge and NASA was
mostly being used for climate change, NASA released to study
indicating Earth's atmosphere is cooling and in supper layers, particularly
the summer mesosphere over the poles, the mesosphere, and this
(08:17):
is due to increased rising carbon dioxide levels, So cooling
and then warming and then then cooling more and sometimes less,
and then warming more and then sometimes less.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I's almost like it's an unpredictable cycle. I want to
be clear about something because I think we're nothing but
not objective on this. The climate is changing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
What Yeah, when did this start happening? Apparently millions of
years ago. It's been going on for a while now,
and it is it is changing. And climate actually can
kill people, right, It's it's not always climate can cause death.
It can cause believe it or not, a natural disasters.
In fact, we have a word for that. It's called
natural disasters. Oh they call it that. Yeah, it's actually
(09:04):
what it's called. And it happens, and it's but statistically speaking,
you are ninety nine percent less likely to die from
a natural disaster related occurrence today than you would have
been when your grandparents were children. And I know that's
not a lot of fun to say out loud because
it kind of ruins the whole narrative.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
They'd like you to remember the fact that the government
knows best, yeah, and that you should do what you're
told and sit down and hush.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Now here's where this gets a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Apparently, the people telling you that global warming and climate
change and global cooling and YadA YadA, that that's going
to kill you. That's very deadly. They blame it on
modern technology. But get ready here, because I'm just being objective.
The solution, the thing that is saving people from these
natural disasters is in fact modern tech technology. Oh oh,
(10:03):
that's tricky business, right exactly. So on one hand, you know,
the technology evil human's bad, YadA YadA YadA. On the
other hand, that's also exactly what's going to save you
from this stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And we'll good to know that we're gonna be saved
from some of that. But what are we gonna do
about the ocean darkening?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Well, I've been told that when things get more diverse,
they're good. Is that do you mean? Like that beach
where everybody swims with their T shirts on?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I think that's what they must mean. Oh okay, do
you have any idea what time it is to celebrate
hump Day?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
It is Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Am I right? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Halfway through the.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Week Walton and Johnson Radio Network there. I'm very concerned
about the darkening ocean. Uh yeah, I didn't know that
they even swam. I was surprised about that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'm shocked. I'm amazed.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I'm surprised they've come up with another way to scare
us besides the new COVID that's coming to kill us
all What is.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The darkening ocean? Billy had.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
More than one fifth of the global ocean water has
become darker over the past two decades. According to a
university study, something out of the global change biology become
a darker rees of ocean darkening. They think they just
(11:19):
make this cramp up things like algae bloom shifts and
surface temperatures and artificial light. What kind of artificial light
are people shining all over the ocean?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
All right, here's what I'm learning here.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
The ocean might look darker in some places due to
natural changes like feda plankton or sediment from the rivers.
It's a normal process, nothing to worry about, and the
ocean still safe and healthy overall.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Oh no, no, that's not going to work. You gotta
scare people ocean's darkening.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh my god, we're all gonna die. That's it. That's it.
The end has come. I can't help.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But notice here, if we tell people to be scared
because something's getting darker, doesn't that make us WHOA?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Right? WHOA?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Exactly? That's my point. So tell people it's fine, Everything
will be okay.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
The government just wants you to know that they're the
only thing that can save you.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And how of the governments saved me from the Indian
Ocean getting darker? They don't even have any jurisdiction there.
I don't know for sure. But it's just a global
government though. This is out of a Geneva or somewhere,
or somebody did some reporting.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You mean the United Nations? Is that where we are?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It looks that way because I feel a world order,
whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't. I don't want to call it that. If
that's the opposite. I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I was getting a blacker and hotter. Hmm, well, what
are you gonna do with that? That sounds great? You know,
usually hot and black. That's how I like my coffee exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
China hosted the world's first humanoid fighting competition, actually second
if you count the Real Housewives reunion, but I do.
And we also learned a Chinese company invent that invented
robots that can fight each other realistically in a ring,
apparently making headline all over the world.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now, so that's pretty full in there. Let's get the
robots to fight, kind of like they did with the homeless. Yeah,
remember those days. Sure, bum fights, bum fights's got to
come in and you know, stop all the good times.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I don't know. I think watching robots fight each other
could be entertaining.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I'm sure it will be. I probably like the bum
fights better. Probably true.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, speaking of bum up fights, Dallas Fort Worth area
lawmaker Jasmine Crockett is in the news again. Apparently she
thinks that Donald Trump needs to have his mental acuity checked.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Oh oh Trump does, yeah, yeah, because you know the
way he acts.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Here are two sound bites of Jasmine Crockett played side
by side. See if you could spot the difference.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
It is time for Republicans to start calling him out
and started questioning his mental acuity and whether or not
he is equipped to serve mentally.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Listen, I'm saying this.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You know, people try to talk about the mental acuity
of Joe Biden, and as someone who was able to
interact with him, I never questioned his mental acuity.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, no, why would you. He's a Democrat. Never even
came into question.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, but this is fine.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Don't worry about maybe her mental acuity if she even
has acuity I'm not sure about that. Maybe want to
look into that, see what her score comes up.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Ma'am jas Man, you're telling me this guy that does
three hour unscripted press conferences is not mentally right according
to you. But this other guy who gets hitted in
the White House basement for months at a time and
just dragged out for a few minutes, hopped up on
amphetamines and vitamin B so he can follow the easter
bunny around the yard and looks down at the ground
(14:48):
to figure out where the tape is so he could
confirm where he's supposed to walk in the room during
public events, is somehow mentally sound.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You got it, Muster. No, you've got to take her.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
She's still u black and she I don't see color
her Wait, I do see you now, because it's important
that you do. You have to believe what she says.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
It's like when a woman's screams, right, we must believe
the woman, and we must believe the black people.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
And if she's a black and a woman, then well
there you go. She's got you now. Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I know it seems like we should always believe what
women or liberal women say or whatever. But here's Senator
Warren yesterday at a press conference, just straight up lying
about what is in the Big Beautiful Bill. I don't
like it that it's called a big beautiful bill. I
don't like the Big Beautiful Bill as a whole. But
what's not lying about it?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
If you guys are actually out there making history by
taking away from hard working families, from people down on
their luck, from seniors, from little babies, so that a
handful of billionaires and corporate CEOs can get more giveaways
from the government.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And I'm gonna posit right here.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The Big Beautiful Bill cuts taxes by fifteen percent for
people making between thirty thousand and eighty thousand dollars a year.
It increases wages up to eleven than six hundred dollars
per worker. It increases take home pay by up to
thirteen thousand, three hundred dollars for the typical family in
an average year. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. Apparently,
it cuts taxes on Social Security. Why is she lying, Well,
(16:25):
she's a Democrat and she's a native American.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah. Oh wait, that's right, she lied about that too.
That's right, Elizabeth. Any closing thoughts.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
That is the Republican plan. No billionaires win, everyone else loses.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It turns out no.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
So turns out this big beautiful bill that people seem
to be having a problem with didn't actually cut any
of the stuff. Doge found felt like a trillion dollars
of waste, but they didn't do anything about it in
the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That's what's crazy. That's the part of this that Elizabeth
Warren doesn't have a problem with.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
She's not mad that they love the waste because they're
receiving some of it.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So exactly, they can't actually articulate what they don't like
about it, but there are problems with it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
They're just not gonna say that out.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Loud because the things that we don't like about it
aren't the things that they don't.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like about it. Yeah, yeah, exactly, what are you gonna do?
You know?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I learned something weird today about the Ukrainian War. I
don't know if this is cool or stupid or it's
just something, but Ukraine needed to find a way to
incentivize the young men in their country to fight Russia.
They didn't want to do it, so they came up
with a system where they give the fighters in Ukraine
points that they can trade in for rewards and it
(17:45):
works sort of like a video game. Yeah, I was
surprised by this. Apparently Ukraine has created a macab points
scheme based on video games to boost the effectiveness of
their soldiers.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Uh they're calling it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The program is called the Army of Drones Bonus Reward Program.
Rewards rewards soldiers with points if they upload videos proving
their drones have hit Russian targets. And it's going to
be integrated with a new online marketplace called Brave one Market,
which allows troops to convert those points into new equipment
for their units. It's funny.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I don't know. I think that's very fine. It's a
different that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And I still, by the way, I still don't care
if Ukraine wins or loses this.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
But the just knock at all, you know. It's it's
Trump versus Putin.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I guess this day two since Memorial Day they took off,
so it's kicked In down.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I don't think that's true Trump, And yeah, they're going
at it. It took off from America's Memorial days.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Trump Trump took off and and then he come back
storming out last Night with the You know this guy's
he's he's in trouble. He's asking for it. Why I
on a is what Trump wanted to say.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Okay, so the program assigns points for each type of kill.
Twenty points for damaging and forty four destroying a tank,
so that's something you could certainly get. And then apparently
you get fifty points for destroying a mobile rocket system
and depending on the caliber, six points for killing an
enemy soldier.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You only get six points for killing a human. Does
seem low? They got to give out more points for
killing humans, you know, isn't that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I mean, if you just blow up like a tank
or something and you don't kill a human, have you
really stomped anything?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
How many of these Rooskies are getting points for killing
the Rooski? The communists in Ukraine?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I don't know what they're doing in Russia, but Ukraine
units will soon be able to use the special digital
points they've been getting since last year by trading them
in for new weapons like a vampire drone, for example,
costs forty three points. A drone nicknamed the Baba Yaga.
Do you know what Bobba Yaga is?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's that guy.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, Baba Yaga is a dessert. No, it's a place. No,
it's a fictional character in Russian. In Ukraine, it's like
a witch. It's like their version of the Boogeyman. I
don't know how else to explain it other Yeah, anyway,
for for that, you get what is it, a multi
rotor drone able to carry a fifteen kilogram warhead.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That's forty three points.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
The Ukrainian government will pay for the drones that are
ordered and will deliver them to the frontline unit within
a week. So if you kill a lot, you get
better weapons and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Sweet. They ought to give them money, you know, don
will sure you know what else? People like?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Can't they just rob the people that they kill. I
don't know because they're soldiers, so I don't know if
the other soldiers carrying any money on them. But you know,
you can take their their weapons. You if you were thirsty,
you could take their their canteen if they had one. Uh,
you know, you could raffle around through their pocket a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Well, they're killing them with a drone, billy. I'm not
sure that they're even in the same place as each other.
And yeah, it's too bad.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Apparently these Ukrainians, you know, they have what is it
over there? Money?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Money, and we gave them a lot of money. Oh yeah,
they have our money, yeah, a lot of it. And
women too, They have money and women.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
We're not getting that back. No, no, that's not alone.
That's just a gift.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, we're supposed to get some kind of mineral rights
or something. Have we looked into this? Does Ukraine earlier? Look,
I'm not saying that Ukrainians lie, but Zelenski does you know?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well? Yeah, yeah, do you trust the guy? Look at
the price, I guess now. It's seven point fifty five
a gallon. Hey, Pootin, we're sending you a bill. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
