Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mister Kenneth, did you know Spin magazine still existed?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I was not aware of that. I hadn't really given
it a thought.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
For the last eight months, the owner of the brand
has been in talks to sell it to a Florida
based music app company.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Uh oh Florida. Huh.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
I can remember a time you'd walk into a Borders Books.
It's been a long time. Barnes and Nobles. When they
used to have bookstores, Tower Records, there was the magazine section. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oh. I saw the magazine section at a regular drug
store recently and it used to be massive, thirty feet
long and yeah, what five six seven rows horizontally from
top to bottom. The magazine section is now kind of
next to the cashier, right, and it's about the size

(00:45):
of the front of a refrigerator. Now.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I was giving a speech with Jeff Landry, the Governor Louisiana,
a couple weeks back. I stepped into the Baton Rouge
Airport magazine terminal magazine stands okay, and I was just
amazed at what they were selling.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
It was like the diary of the royal family. It
was like, who's this for? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
There was nothing I was I just need to read something.
There's no Wi Fi on the tiny plane. I'm gonna
be on no for forty minutes from Houston to ban Rouge.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
If I could read something. There's that chances Auto one
will be wipe out on a big jed ether because
they keep telling you to you and then they'll come
as well. In this particular case, the wife I ain't working.
Does it work at all? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I don't know if I ever been on one to work. Uh,
you know, it usually does. Sometimes it depends. Usually the
bigger planes have with the smaller ones. Don't You asked
me a question earlier about T Mobile and how they
are now linked with Starlink.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
That's that's the story. Look that you've told.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
It is true, but it's limited for now if they're
still unleash, unrolling out the technology. I'm told I have
T Mobile and I have the Advanced package that includes Starlink.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Kenny's got an advanced package.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's about ninety nine bucks a month plus tax. And
what you get is this. You get unlimited Internet, unlimited
you know the all that all that you get Apple TV, Netflix, Basic,
Kulu if I'm not mistaken, so you can watch Bathic Eh.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Nobody wants bathic.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's those three things, but with ads. But it's included
for the reg you know, for ninety nine bucks, and
then you get starlink. Now it's not it's not like
the starlink where you pay for internet on a boat
or whatever. What it does is, at least for the
time being, you can always send and receive texts no
matter how off the grid you are.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
If you're on a camping trip.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
If you're on the side of a mountain somewhere and
you've got absolutely no internet and you have lost your
uh you know, the fielding well whatever, right, you know,
you're you've fallen into a canyon or something and you
can't walk, you could still text people. Now that might
not seem like much, but compared to a few years ago,
that's huge. That's better. Yeah, it's much better. And apparently

(02:53):
there's more on the way. They're still on there. Sure,
I'm sure they're working on it. We'll probably all have
starlink embit it into the top of our skull before
twenty fifty, and then you won't have to worry about
carrying objects, you know, some of these high tech guys.
Now the bill gates the Zuckerberg's all these people in
the tech industry now they're saying that the days of

(03:17):
carrying around a cell phone will be coming to an
end soon. I don't know what we'll be doing instead,
probably a microchip implanted in your brain with neuralink exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's that's what I'm thinking. You'll have starlink shooting through
the top of your skull, and you'll have little things
you can tap between your thumb and your finger like
that if you want to text or dial a phone.
Not that anybody calls anybody anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
That sounds like hell, yes, Well, anyway, with all this
new technology, with all this new access to digital information,
magazines have become pretty rare for the most part. One
magazine that used to be real common, especially in my world,
is a music enthusiast.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
With Spin Magazine.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
The owner of the brand has been in talks for
the last eight months to sell Spin Magazine to a
Florida based music app company, and apparently yesterday the sale
did not go through because the buyer didn't wire the money.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well that that would keep a sale from going through.
You supposed to pay, you know, send send the money.
That's how you buy stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Imagine talking about this for eight months and then the
day finally arrives it was a six figure sale. They
don't quite explain how much, but hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
That doesn't seem like much.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It doesn't, no, But then on the other hand, it's
one hundreds of thousand dollars for something that is almost
no values.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
A magazine nobody uses anymore. It's the name of a thing.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
It's like having a it's like owning the name of
a famous wagon wheel company.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
So they just supposedly just buying the name. That's about
all they gonna get out of it. Well, what else
would they be getting? Yeah, big subscriptions. You think they
got a lot of subscriptions.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
No, do you know anyone with a magazine subscription, much
much less a spind magazine subscription, not.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
That they're aware of. You might be paying for some
of those things and an old credit card that you
don't even keep up with anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, anyway, it's not happening, I guess apparently. Well, ain't
that out of Shane? Yeah, that's the news today. We
got news out of Chicago.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Of course, Chicago's been in the news a lot lately
because of their politicians are mouthed off against Trump, and
they love their crime in Chicago and they'd like to
keep it, you know, not nice and brisk the way
crime has been going there for so long now. And
the news over the weekend, fifty eight people shot just
over now. It was a three day weekend, you know, understand, Uh,

(05:31):
fifty eight shot. Eight of those fifty eight killed. And
Prince ger the governor of the state, has been bottled
off a lot, but we haven't heard too much from
the mayor. The mayor of Chicago is a fellow name
of Brandon Johnson.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
He's the only black guy in Chicago with a faux hawk.
I think he's the only black eye anywhere with a
faux hawk.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, I don't care for that haircut.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Mosli man me neither as a black eye, and that
may kind of make me, you uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Now, he oversees u Chicago at the sea with the
highest number of homicides pretty much every year. But despite
all that crime, all that shooting and killing, he also
has rejected the Trump's offer to send in the National
Guard to help out with the crime. As a matter
of fact, he has been, as they call it, outright

(06:18):
critical of the idea. On Tuesday. Yesterday, the mayor of
Chicago finally told us what the real problem is. He
blamed Chicago's and other big city crime on the Red States.
It's you people in the Red states, he said. The

(06:41):
loose gun laws in other states is what's causing Chicago's violence.
We will continue to have a violence problem, says the mayor.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Did he explain how some of these guns that the
criminals are using aren't even legal to purchase in a
red state like an UZI.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Even halfway through his statement, he said, we will continue
to have a violence problem as long as red states
have gun problems. Specifically, I loved it, Louisiana, Mississippi, an Indiana.
It's you. It's Walter Johnson's show and the Walter Johnson

(07:19):
listeners that are the problem. You're causing the crime.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
You know what I'm taking away from this little statement
from the mayor there, maybe the Walton and Johnson Show
should expand it to the Midwest. I mean, if Indiana
is getting lumped in with Louisiana and in Mississippi, two
states where our show has historically done great, I kind
of think maybe there's an audience for us in Indiana.
Indiana was the first state that they called for Trump
in the last election. We ought to be on the

(07:45):
radio in Indiana. We ought to be Yeah, we could
give the people of India. Imagine what we could bring them,
Caso gumbo, what else?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Something Mississippi mudpie, something about some of them charborl oysters.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I bet they'd like that. It's a in locked state.
They probably enjoy that.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
No, that's right, all right. So yesterday, as all this.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Was unfolding on a morning show that you probably don't
watch or listen to. Apparently some people on the left
are not in agreement with JB. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson
on their embracing of criminality.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's always a very interesting way of doing a barometric
reading to figure out what liberals and progressives, which are
just Marxists rebranding themselves, what they actually want. Listen to
how Joe Scarborough reacted to the news about JB. Pritzker
rejecting help from the federal government to stop crime in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Tarns. You have leaders in Chicago that see this, as
you say, We've been reading about this for years now
every weekend, and maybe crime has gone down. But you know,
we had the mayor of Chicago on last week saying, oh,
we don't need any more police officers. Police officers aren't
the answer. No police officers. And you know, I think
he said no five times. You look what's happening this weekend.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
He looks.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know, I actually think that JB. Pritzker should do
something radical. I think you should pick up the phone,
call the president and say, you know, and I know,
you don't have the constitutional authority to deploy the National
Guard here and to police my my. You can do
that in DC, you can't do that in Chicago. But
let's partner up. These are the most dangerous parts of

(09:17):
my state. We would love to figure out how to
have a partnership that's constitutional, that respects the sort of
balance of federalism between the federal government and the state government.
And let's work together to save lives. Because right now, just.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Hey, sure, what do you got? Who's he talking to
the audience? I suppose he's got.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
A camera on him, a television cameras pointed right at him. Yeah,
and he is not looking at it. Well, he's got
a panel of people or I mean, I don't know.
I don't watch the show. There he's looking at one
of the other guys. Does that answer your question? I
don't like it. That's just not that's not right. It's
not how it's supposed to be done. Well, you don't
have to watch this show.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I don't and I don't want to. But I just
wonder why he never looks at the camera. But isn't
it kind of amazing that he's saying what we say. Yeah,
he says, got you to do something radical, like agree
with Trump? Crime is bad?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Guys, this isn't Fox News, this isn't even CBS or ABC.
That's MSNBC. Excuse me, Oh excuse me, uh nows now
I forgot they rebranded suddenly. Ms NOW is telling you,
you know, because Joe Scarborough is an old Republican, he's
a new Democrat, right, even Joe Scarborough's got to admit
this thing about crime in Chicago has been going on

(10:34):
for a pretty long time.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think you just admit it right there on camera.
I mean, he's crime is so bad, we even got
to agree with Trump. That's that horrible to deal And
you know they can't find nothing to agree with about
Trump when Trump separate children from their parents. Oh, they
raise hell. When Trump tried to reunite children with their parails,

(10:57):
Democrats raise hell. Only named agreed with Trump on is
that if he decided to quit living, which they also
reported over the weekend, and they was ecstatics there was
what they all of them was static.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Huh Yeah, they were happy. Oh okay, thank you for
clearing that up fast.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
But it sounds like that's a comedy gobbledegook. Stay tuned
for more. Waltman Johnson, the man in Connecticut.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
He has the Guinness World Record for the most croc sound.
He owns thirty eight hundred crocks.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (11:30):
He has the space to keep them in his house
because shockingly he lives alone.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I bet he does. Yeah, but he's not a Florida man. No,
but we do have that Florida man story to share
with you this morning. Oh that's coming up in just
a little bit. Yeah, we said it was coming up before,
but now it's really coming up and real soon. Did
you know that, Joe Scarborough? I just learned this minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Have you ever seen an article before on a website
called The Independent?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Probably have looked at it, but I don't remember anything specific.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Did you know he started that newspaper that's Joe. When
you're read looking at that, you're looking at a newspaper
created by Joe Scarborough.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I don't all right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Had no idea and he created it in Pensacola, Florida.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, how about that Florida Man. He comes to Florida Man.
Florida Man is brought to you this morning by my
Legacy Video. Every time we mentioned this, somebody emails it.
Invariably somebody will email us, probably in the next few

(12:32):
minutes and tell us I did that. I called them
and they did. Oh it was incredible. I love it,
Thank you so much. So. Yeah, just just know my
Legacy Video dot com the website where you can sign
up for that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Absolutely, it's like ken Burns documentary about your family, really cool.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Stuff without the ken Burns price tag.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, in the liberal nonsense, just the just basically scanning
photos of the camera.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Our Florida Man story this morning starts with a woman
selling her shoes. She's not the Florida Sorry, she's not
the Florida Man. Your mic foul down. It went limp
for a moment there.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, you've got a flaccid micro and I brought it
right back. Yeah, just put a hand on it. That's
all you gotta do.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Sometimes, Florida woman selling her hused shoes online. This already
sounds like it's going to be a problem. Yeah, you're
not supposed to do that, or she said. He agreed
to meet with her at a hotel, which is smart
where there's people around, you know, just in case, instead
of some desolate parking lot or whatever. So this twenty

(13:36):
eight year old man showed up Sunday afternoon to buy
her shoes. And when she got there and they started
having a little conversation about the purchase, he told her
he wanted to smell her feet. Oh no, I wanted
to sniff them specifically. She was not down with that,

(13:57):
believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
No, she.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Told him no and then probably tried to get away
from him. He got so upset at some point that
he grabbed the shoes out of her hand and ran
out to the parking lot in front of the hotel
there and was ready to just steal the shoes and
take off. That's not right. She chased after him, confronted him,

(14:22):
and that's when he hopped into his suv and then
promptly ran over her with his car. Jesus, what a
Florida man does?

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Our all foot fetishists degenerate series, it's just the ones
of the news. Here is the victim talking about what happened.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
We had met up because I was going to sell
him my sneakers. He just wanted to sniff my feet
and I didn't feel comfortable with that. I mean, you
could have my sneakers all you want. I mean, I
don't care. I'm not wearing them. You know, they're just
stinky old sneakers. But people like weird things. And I
met him down in the parking garage. He did a
three point turn and actually hit me with a car

(15:01):
ran me over. I've met a lot of people who
have foot fetishes. Nobody has ever done anything to this caliber.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Wait, you've met a lot of people. Well, why isn't
this guy allowed to have a foot fetish if she
knows so many others that do. And it sounds like
she should have expected this guy to be a creep.
He was buying her used some isshoes. Now what grown
man a could fit into her shoes? So that's not
a reason. What else is he buying her? Stinky old shoes.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
For you know the answer? Do you remember months ago?
I mean, this was like, I guess it probably last year.
At this point, someone told us about Wiki feet. We said,
what's wiki feed and they said, oh, it's it's a
website where people post photos of prominent women's feet. And
we were talking to a listener. What kind of women?
Oh like TV news anchors?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Uh oh said at the time, don't we know some
TV news anchors?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, I was dating one for a while. Several months
last year, we look her up on the website. Just
happened to look up one person that we knew. Do
you remember there were hundreds of photos of her feet,
just how any picture open toad shoe, her on TV,
her at the beach, and you could.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Verify they were her feet because you were familiar with
them as well. Well they were pictures of her.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
But then they just happened to show her feet and
I couldn't believe how many were there.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I was. We were disgusted by it. It was creepy
and weird, and I.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Was like, Wow, of all the times I was around
her alone, I never once thought to like, look at
her feet. I never even thought about it. Huh, well,
that's on you. Have you ever seen my feet? Like,
I don't understand. God, yes, I know, I don't get it. Idiot,
who's sexually attracted to that? Then it's it's all I
think it's generally always a women thing?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Is it men? Is that a thing in the gay community, like,
I don't I'm not aware of it. If it is.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I've never met a woman that wanted to look at
my feet. That's never been a thing. I don't think
I've even met a gay guy that wanted to look
at my feet. I that's what I mean. Yeah, see,
and that's the normal reaction. I'm not offended, but that
you said that, that's how you should react. There's somebody
out there that just hears about feet. Oh boy? Is
that the weirdest common fetish? What's a weirder one getting

(17:02):
tied up? I guess I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, I'm not too big into the fetish world. I mean,
when I was a younger man, you try to be
energetic and keep up with those sort of things. But
as you mature and maybe slow down a little bit
on some of that, Yeah, you leave that behind. That's
a young man's game.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, it's odd anyway odd, that's one way to look
at it. Well, with all that being said, speaking of odd,
today we got bad news, Billy ed I went into
the break room and I threw away your box of
ding dongs.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
You did, Yeah, your host is ding dongs. I had
to throw No, No, you don't be touching the ding dong. No,
I mean the foot. We're talking about the food, mister,
kind of Yeah, the delicious chocolate snack looks like a
hockey book, but it tastes like a chocolate cupcake filled
with the delicious cream filling. Well, I three years out,

(17:53):
Why would you want to do something like that? Just
you just begging for an ash whooping?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
They're covered in molds, Billy, I'd host just put out
a national call for ding dongs after mold was found
all over the snacks.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Did you see any mold?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, I didn't even open the box. It wasn't opened yet,
but I just figured it was a new box and
they're all full of mold, so I got.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Rid of Well, you owe me a box of ding dongs, now,
don't you. No, I think Hostess, you owe him your life. Yeah,
he just kept you from maybe poisoning yourself. Yeah, you
ding dong.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Exactly, Thank you mister Kenneth, and how you're useful for
once you could have died.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Let's all slow down a little bit before we start
shoving ding dongs in our mouth. Wait what and take
a look at it see if it might be dangerous.
Is it infected in some way with you know, mold
or something else? That was my point. Are we talking
about the same thing? I don't think so. Attention snack lovers,
Hostess ding Dongs reminds you to check before you jump.

(18:46):
Hostess sting dogs. Then just be careful. You and ingest
creamy green filling. Just who are you and my hostess today?
Hold that you pass away. Eat at your own risk.
