They got rid of it in Connecticut, but England says, come.

Speaker 2 (03:52):

Yeah, that's the theme song. Any synthesizer in.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
That, No, there wasn't any. Now, well bothered that more
would have been Maybe I should redo it.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah. Today is National Coffee Day, and of course we
celebrate that every day here at the station. So that's
good for them.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
That's like calling it National wipe your butt Day. You
should do that. Drink coffee. I was gonna already have coffee.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
And is it the birthday or is it to this
day in history for the Army? I guess we gotta
move them to this day in history. It's not the
birthday of the army, is it? Seventeen eighty nine? On
this day Congress established the modern US Army. The War
Department set up the Army with the strength of several

(05:00):
hundred men.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
But the technically the Army's birthdays in June, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
That seemed like it. Yeah, but this is the modern Army.
I guess I don't know right.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, Happy Ish Birthday, Happy birthday Ish.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Stick around to November for the Marine Corps's that's a
good one.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
And Veterans Day that's a good one too. Same weekend,
that's always a fun weekend. I heard that.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah. Also, this day in history all brought you by
law Tigers. Of course. One hundred and nine years ago,
John D. Rockefeller was declared the first American billionaire, and
that was nineteen sixteen dollars. Historians now say might have
been an exaggeration and he might have only been worth

(05:41):
nine hundred million.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Have you heard this? Sam Bankman freed the crypto bro
that went to prison recently for the Ponzi scheme with
all that weird hair. Had he have not been caught,
he would have been the first trillionaire. That's some investments
that he'd made, just banked big time. But none of
that's his. He doesn't own any of those commodities anymore,
so none of it went to him.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's hard to imagine a trillionaire. I mean, when it
takes so many millions to become a billionaire, and then
it takes that many more billions to become a trillionaire,
it's just well it's more than your the human brain
can even fathom. Well, you're right, he did it illegally.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
It wasn't sure what he did wasn't possible, So you know,
that's why he's in prison now.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
With p Diddy, tailanl is having a bit of a
rough run these last couple of weeks. Forty three years
ago today, the tailool poisoner claimed his first victims. That
was in nineteen eighty two. There were a total of
seven deaths in the Chicago area over a two day
period because authorities determined Extrength stylog capsules had been laced

(06:44):
with cyanide.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I was watching Idiocracy this weekend.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Just because it was on.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, and it's a good show. There's a guy in
it named Thailand All Jones. He was carrying out the
bizarre execution when they were doing a rehabilitation night. One
of the rehab officers' names was Thailand All Jones, And
I thought, how brilliant of Mike Judge. Didn't know that
tail and all would be a thing in the future
that people would argue about. But it is here. We are. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh this date, oh man, this goes way back thirty
six years ago. It was nineteen eighty nine. Jajha Kabor
was convicted of slapping a Beverly Hills police officer after
she got pulled over and caught with an open container
of alcohol while driving without a license, and she slapped
the police officer for daring to stop her. She ended

(07:33):
up serving three days in jail for that.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
All right, I got a few bring them young. Named
the first governor of utahd at A. In eighteen fifty,
General Motors established a five day workweek for its staffers.
Today in nineteen thirty two. If you're a Jew, hopefully
you weren't in Ukraine today in nineteen forty one, that's
when thirty thousand Jews were gunned down after orders from Himmler.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Sure seemed like a lot.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
The kamaro became a thing today in nineteen sixty six,
Billiet all right, Dan Boogie Uggie Ugie. Today in nineteen
seventy eight, from a Taste of Honey, It's number one.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I saw them in concert that year and it was
one of my first concerts ever. I was still a
baby at that point, but I got to go see
them oogi oogie until you just can't oogie no more.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
And today, in two thousand and eight, the Dow Jones
dropped seven hundred and seven seven points to a lot.
It dropped a lot. Lehman Brothers Wash Mutual crash.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
It was a big deal at the time.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was a two thousand and eight Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Didn't nobody be blaming Barack Obama though, did they?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Well?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
No, because you hadn't really taken office yet. All that
needs you know, black, That's the real reason, Yeah, I guess, so, yeah,
turn that up if you want.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's still a great song all these.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Years later, you know, it makes me sad. We were
doing all these Today in History things and we missed
National Roadkill Day at the end of last week. Yeah, now,
don't worry. If you uh, it'll be back. If you
hadn't made plans, you can, you can get it delivered.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
What's Linda, It's National Roadkill Day and I haven't hit
anything in weeks.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
What will I feed the kids?

Speaker 5 (09:07):
You should try Uber Streets, the only service that delivers
fresh roadkill right to your front door.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Really.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
How does it work? Simple?

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Download the app, then pick from a menu of raccoon, squirrel, possum,
or rabbit.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Great, but I could do without the extra gravel. No
problem with uber Streets.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
You can also pick the type of road your roadkill
comes from dirt, paved, asphalt or West Virginia.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
How Jan, I owe you big time?

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Hey, just save me a bite of armadillo.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, I'm glad they threw streets eating good thanks to
someone's hood you know where.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That reminded me of you remember that time here in
town that Chinese restaurant got into trouble for picking up roadkill.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's why I recognize you.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
This woman, who doesn't want her face shown, took these
pictures a Sunday afternoon in Concord after she we saw
people in this car pick up a dead deer off
the road and throw it in the back of the car.
She recognized the car from delivering food to her home
and office.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I just couldn't believe what I was saying.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
When they drove to the back of China Fun with
the roadkill in the back, the woman called police.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
They were back by the restaurant door with that dead
deer in the car that they use for delivery.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Police turned it over to the Cabarets County Health Department.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
We went there and found that they indeed were had
slaughtered at deer or cutting up the deer a dead
deer in the back of the parking lot, and had
already brought parts of the meat inside into the sink.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
It makes me want to cry because I know I
have eaten there before.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
I walked into China Fun to get answers. Are you
guys going to serve that deer to customers?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
What are you recording that anyway?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Why did you get why did your workers bring roadkill
here to the restaurant?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I no idea.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (10:56):
That woman claims she has no idea about the deer
incident on the road.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Start was called China fun, and it did seem fun
to me. Here's the thing, right, we live in a
world now where liberals want you to eat bugs and
stuff like that. Does anyone really road kill billy? Is
it beneath you? Hell? No, I would eat it. You
know how long has this thing been dead for?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
It just got hit by a car a few minutes ago?
Did I see it get hit by a car? Probably did? Yeah,
maybe you hit it?

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Then I did it? You know, throw that out in
the back of the truck. And now just because they
took it to the Chinese restaurant didn't mean they were
going to serve it to their customers. You know, they
might have just been keeping it all to themselves. And
as far as what goes in that sink in the back,
there's a Chinese food restaurant here in town. I think
it's closed now, pretty sure it did.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
But I went and you had to go through the
kitchen to get to the bathroom. Huh, Because they didn't
plan well, and we want to go into the kitchen
there was a little Chinese guy in the think. He
was it's a big industrial sink for you know, doing
restaurant dishes.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
He was having a bath in the sink. Wow, he's
having a bath in this I said, Uh, is that
is that regular?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
You know?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
He rents it real good after you know. So they
were fine.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Are you sure that's how he pronounced rents?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Well, not exactly, but I figured that he's the only
one can save America. Kamala is a so stupid Walton N.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Johnson giving directions. I didn't understand that, and I missed
the give men two five four eight zero north to
not what is that?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's a phone number accident? He told operator to get
that number before him.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Why is the number so short? It wasn't even ten numbers.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, that's old. That's why it's old stuff. Back in
the day, you could have five numbers in your in
your phone number.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
And his phone number hadn't and in it yet.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Junior samples buddy mine from way back in the day.
His phone number was just b R five four nine,
easy to remember, b.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
R five for NAT. So it's not doesn't sound right now.
I'm with mister Kenneth that doesn't make meantime.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
We got two Monday night football games for you. And
I know, Kenny, what a big New York Jets fan
you are. Oh yeah, I love him. Miami Dolphins to
be hosting the Jets now, that'll start at six fifteen
Central time, and then at seven to fifteen Central time,
the Dmple Broncos will be hosting those Cincinnati Bengals. No,

(13:25):
normally that would be something you might be interested in,
except that Joe Burrows still sitting down right now. Well
didn't he didn't he get injured.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
What's a doubleheader tonight? So it should be exciting. You
got the New York Jets and the Dolphins and then
the Bengals and the Broncos. It might sound I know.
I just wanted to set it up so I can
say it'll sound like this, right. See what we did

(13:57):
chats Dolphins, Bengals, Broncos. Yeah, we spent a lot of
time working on that. You didn't think that was good.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well I would. I would caution you to be careful
how you spend your day.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's how we did. With all the money we got
from Ken Paxton. We had a yeah, you know, on
a payroll and everything apparently is the money to have
that pretty it's twy Do you don't think it was
a good investment.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Or just go ahead? And oh, speaking of do you
think it's good or bad? As you know, every time
there is an election, we often have what we call
some propositions. You're familiar with the whole proposition sure prope
propy prop one? Yeah, exactly do you want to legalize pot?
And should hookers be required to wear spand ax? You're
almost always worded a little trickily so that you can't

(14:42):
say for sure, am I for that? Or am I
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Should we have a resolution banning the investigation against so
and so and the effort that it gets out lawed?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Proposition seventeen on the upcoming ballot Just i'll just read
you what it says, please. Opposition seventeen would provide an
exemption from advolorum taxation of the amount of the market
value of real property located in a county that borders
the United Mexican States that arises from the installation or

(15:15):
construction on the property of border security infrastructure and related improvements.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
All right, so it sounds like this has something to
do with a property tax exemption for people along the
border if they build a border wall on their land
for that, are against that? I think I'm for it
if I want them to get a property tax excitey.
But you're not sure. If you live in on the border,

(15:42):
how much property tax are you paying?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I don't know. I don't know. Not as much as
you are in Houston, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
But if they're building a wall on your land, you
deserve something, you know, Yeah, you got that wall, you
could help them. Maybe you get a little something for that.
Here's what I wonder. If you own the property along
the border, and let's say you own property on both sides,
you own a little bit of Mexico, you owned a
little bit of America, and they put up a wall there,
do they do you get like a key? How does

(16:09):
that work? Am I allowed to go back and forth
between my land here?

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Don't know?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
We should they?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Well, Singer Door, get your ball skin, Paxton, explain it.
I'll ask my Yeah, I'll ask my employer, Ken Pexton.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Election Day's coming up on November fourth, but early voting,
at least in this area starts October twentieth, so early
like three weeks away from the voting starting and good news,
we have a full analysis of all the amendments seventeen
constitutional amendments placed before the voters in Texas. Now look

(16:44):
at fifteen. This is so controversial. I don't know how
to vote on this. Proposition fifteen says parents are the
primary decision makers for their children.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Parents are the primary decision makers for they're said, yeah, well,
who else.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Would it be? Uh, well, there are those who oppose that,
believe it or not. I actually have to put this
in there. That is just sad.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I watched this thing that John Stossel did yesterday about
libertarians for the what is it CPS, and I got
to tell you, after I watched it, I did not
know how I felt. There's a group of libertarians out
there making the argument when there's an abusive parent, it's
almost impossible for the government to take the kids away.
And in my head, I thought, well, that's good. I
don't want the government to take people's kids away. And

(17:32):
then I watched the report and afterwards it was all
about kids who clearly should not be with their parents.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
It was like, ih, it hasn't been hard children know
to call child protective services if the parents won't you
raise their allowance or something. I mean, that's just pure evil.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
I have a friend that does this for a living,
and what I was told is that they have a
checklist of red flags.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
They go through.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
It often will happen during a divorce case. One of
the parents will convince the kid to say that the
other parent abused them or rape them or something. Oh yeah,
And I was like, well, how do you know when
the kid's been coached? They said, they use the same
language as the parent, and the language the parent is
using is really sophisticated. I said, give me an example.
I said, all right, a seven year old recently came

(18:14):
in and said I was assaulted by my dad and
it was aggravated. Oh.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I was like, oh, and the kid?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
The kids the legal definition of aggravated assault. I'm not
even sure I know what the legal definition is of aggravating.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's just aggravating, is all we know. Were you aggravated?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I was aggravated that somebody was trying to misuse the
government to win a custody battle. That did annoy me
A little. Irritated would be a better word.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Irritated. Yeah, I like that anyway.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
The point we're getting at is don't use the government
as a tool to mess with your spouse during a divorce.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
That's not cool. Don't mess with the kids.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, well you don't use the kids for sure. But
that's always part of it. Often, isn't that often part
of it? I shouldn't say yeah, shouldn't say always. Even
sometimes I'm told when there's a dog and not a
child around, they'll use the dog as a bartering chip.
Isn't that sad that somebody would take advantage of a dog?

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Who?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Who is this vild, despicable person that would use a
dog as a bartering I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
I can't believe it's come to this, ladies and gentlemen.
Just sad.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
It really is. Anyway, if you're just waking up and
joining us today, maybe you've heard got a little ugly
at the Ryder cup Oregon using the National Guard to
protect the state. And then this was interesting Philadelphia DA
Larry Krasner. You know this guy.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't know him well. He really is a despicable person.
I figured when you said Philadelphia, figured is going to
be despicable.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
This guy is the DA for Philadelphia and he's all
over social media wearing like punk rocket apparel and leather
black leather gloves and stuff. And he's saying exactly the
stupid thing that you expect liberals to say. But what's
weird is this guy's an election it official. He sounds
like one of these antifa nut jobs.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'll tell you what, Frank.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Just keep lying, Frank, just keep lying. Oh my, I
touch your camera.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Donald Trump is a fascist?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
How is Donald Trump of fascist? Frank?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
How is Donald Trump?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Factis?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Did I ask you to come over and bother me
when I'm sitting here drinking coffee in the park?

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Did I have your own public property?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Brother?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Is that your theory?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yes, I guess.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
A local journalist decided to go interview the DA, and
the DA didn't like it, so he started saying that
we're all a bunch of fascists and anyway, that's just
a stupid thing that happened in Philadelphia to day.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
It's Philadelphia. You knew it was gonna be bad.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Weirdly enough, that was actually for a person from Philadelphia.
They were actually surprisingly well behaved. Yeah, no kidding, I
take it all back. Actually, those are the best people.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Don't take it back. You're listening to the Walton and
Johnson Network, featuring Steve Johnson and Kenny Webster.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
A handsome guy by the way, I didn't that's they're
usually not my thing.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
But he is a good looking shucker.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
He must be the new guy.
