Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Newly released music from Whalen Jennings.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Here's that right? Yeah? This is new huh so it
says just came out. Where's this song been sitting around
a dusty closet somewhere?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Okay, I'm not an expert on Whalen Jennings music. I
won't even claim to tell you if it's a reissue
or just an unreleased song no one ever heard before.
But the album's called Songbird, and I don't know if,
at the very least it's digitally remastered.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Whalen, I have no idea, Billy, and maybe you could
tell me if you know this song not familiar me neither. Anyway,
He's been gone for what four years nearly, and we
just have coming out with some new stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
The song is called I'd Like to Love You Baby.
I'm again, I'm not an expert. I just saw you
had a new album out, got some of the songs
so we can mix them into the rotation.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Billy d It kind of reminds me of my dad
a little bit. Yeah, yeah, you've met my dad, right.
You know you never came down to Clute, but I
believe you met him at one of these events one time.
I don't even know if you remember it or not. Yeah,
probably high. No'm I quit doing that. This was a

(01:06):
while back, A while back I did. Yeah, this is
probably six eight years ago now because the dad don't
get around much anymore. But old old Whaling yuh yeah,
he looked a little bit like old my old daddy.
Well how about that, Well, happy birthday to your dad. Then, no,
it's not his birthday, Just Whalon Jennings say, it's a
new song out Oh that's right, Happy birthday, Whale than Jennings.

(01:26):
We do have good news to share for a change
out of out of Florida, which is kind of unusual.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Do you want to go there right now? Well, if
you'd like to, it's all right, all right. So there's
this place. It's part of the Gulf of America, and
that's what we call it. Some people don't like calling
it that, but we like calling that and we do
reports from there because a lot of wacky stuff happens.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
What out here he comes here comes to Florida man,
and the Florida man that brought to you by another
place along the Gulf of America right there on the
coastline in southern Mississippi, will have to be Southern if
it's on the coast. Yeah. Uh. You ever see that
Silver Slipper Casino? Oh yeah, I've seen the silver slippers.

(02:05):
You know, they're famous for the rumble on the coast
and they got all these crystal and silver slippers. Maybe
they're diamond encrusted slippers with money in them and stuff.
All kinds of fun things to do and see and
people to hang out with at the Slipper. Well, that's
a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Silver Slipper Casino and beautiful Bay Saint Louis right there
on the water.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
There's a pool, there's the golf. I say, golf's good
for you, billy. Oh, it's what they always tell me.
That's what they always tell you. All right, what are
we doing today? Bodycam footage has been released of a
Florida cop taking down a knife wielding madman. Well that's good. Yeah,
this madman was holding a boy hostage, a little kid,

(02:49):
and this scum of the earth criminal decided to hold
a knife to this seven year old boy who was,
you know, screaming for help and stuff. The footage from
the cop shows that just outside of Tampa. This happened
Sunday afternoon most of us are probably watching football or something.

(03:11):
The sheriff's deputy, Anthony Gonzalez, a twenty five year old kid,
basically kicked down a bedroom door after hearing a seven
year old boy screaming for help. Found a man wearing
body armor and a motorcycle helmet holding a knife to
this little boy's throat, and the man refused to comply

(03:31):
naturally when the deputy raised his gun and ordered him
to drop the knife, sure, let go of the little boy,
and of course he did not. So what do you
think happened?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I can't wait to find out. Several warnings later, our
I say, the Police Officer of the Day award goes
to mister Gonzalez. Here fired a single shot from his
service pistol, dropped the assailant right there in his tracks.
Didn't hesitate The suspect, identified as a twenty seven year

(04:05):
old guy named Mario Camacho, who was holding a knife
to his own younger brother's throat. I feel like we
should have played the good guys with guns intro. This
is he is a Florida man, true, but don't you
think I guess the Florida man could actually be Camacho?
You know, because of the way they act. Yeah, family

(04:26):
member called the police over this thing, and the guy
was holding a knife to his own. The seven year
old was his younger brother. Wow. And you know, next
time a cop tells you to do something, if you
fail to comply, you might get a tasering if you're lucky.
But this guy was wearing body armor and a motorcycle helmet.

(04:49):
I guess the helmet was pretty easy to hit. You know,
it's bigger than his head. Certainly sounds like it sounds
like it didn't stop a bullet. That's awfully good to know. Wow,
out that and just think if he had just used compliance. Well, yeah, blce,
I'll watch you.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
You know what happens, not die, and that's what happens
to start. Yeah, you don't want to get shot by
a cop. There's a song about it.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Don't try to fight with the cops. I just said that.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Stay away from the gang banging crowds.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, So today in New York City, wats I waited?
I thought, maybe I don't want to interrupt, you know,
I don't like to butt in, but I wanted to
say a good morning, a salutation to you and the listeners.
You love to butt in. What are you talking about?
That's like your thing?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Uh, mister Kenneth, if you lived in New York City,
would you want the streets to be more dangerous or
less dangerous?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh? Much more, much more dangerous. You're about to get
so exciting. You're gonna get your wish today. And then
if you want to travel to New York you know
it is or it used to be a real tourist
of mecca. If you will to go to Broadway or
just to see the Statue of Liberty or you know,
something there for everybody, because you know a lot of

(06:11):
the movies and TV shows we watched or film there
and everybody's like, oh, New York if you've never been, Oh,
I want to go. I want to see that the
Brooklyn Bridge, the new replacement for the World Trade Center towers,
you know anything. But I don't think they're encouraging. They're
certainly not making me want to come back. You know.
It's weird about that.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
The last time I was in New York City it
was the summer of two thousand and one, Is that right?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah? I was thinking about this yesterday. I've been there,
supposed to go? Were you in two thousand and one.
Weren't you supposed to stay home and distance yourself. I
think you're thinking of twenty twenty oh, two thousand and one. Wow,
that I thought you met twenty twenty one. Now, No,
the last time I was there was right before those
two buildings three buildings got knocked over. Well, is that right?

(06:56):
Well I got about the third building. Yeah, yeah, And
I hadn't really.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Thought about that for because I went there a few
times as a kid, and then I went there once
when I was in college. I hadn't been there since then.
Should I just never go to New York City since
nine to eleven happened?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah? Probably you haven't seen the replacement yet, and you
should probably go and see it. It's very powerful.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh yeah, pactful. Didn't they build a mosque or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, there's probably one nearby, you know how New York is.
But there'll be more popping up, probably like Starbucks on
every other corner after this election today.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Sure, all right, So Curtis Sliwa did not get the
Trump endorsement.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, Cuomo got the Trump endorsement. The way he worded
it wasn't much of an endorsement. It was like, I
kind of had to was the phrase he used. Yeah,
and I thought this was interesting. Cuomo responded to it
by saying, he's not endorsing me. He's just saying, don't
vote for Zorhan, which it's like, take the win, Cuomo.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's like two guys in a bar have to go
beat up the bully, but they're both competing for the
same woman. So as they're doing it, they're like, yeah, look,
I'm not saying this guy's good, but you've got to
get out of the bar. And yeah, yeah, this guy's
a douche. You're just more of a douche. So we're
gonna throw you out together before we go back to
fighting each other.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't think Trump's endorsement's gonna sway a lot of
people in New York City. I don't think so either,
but you never know.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean, the handful of people that we're gonna vote
for Curtis Sliwa today now might not assuming they didn't
already early vote.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
True, because Trump said in his endorsement they vote for
Sliwa is a vote for communism, because that means Donni
is gonna whip the news out of New York City.
Is so bizarre. Today.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Listen to some of these headlines. Cuomo backed by major
NYC Hasidic community after rabbi issues unauthorized Mom Donnie endorsement.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
What the hell does that mean?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
It means the rabbi of a Hasidic group has endorsed
Mom Donnie even though they didn't give him permission to.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Huhuh. That seems kind of odd.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Mom Donnie campaign in coordination with at least one point
eight million dollars in super pac spending. I one of
the things I find so remarkable about the New York
City may race. And this might be wrong, I don't know,
but the other day NBC News reported that they had
spent eighteen million dollars trying to stop Mom Dommy, and
I thought, that's it. It's New York City. Eighteen million
seems kind of low for an election. Eighteen million dollars

(09:14):
to buy New York City?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Eh, not that much, is it? Not? Deed days, it
seems cheap yep.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
In Las Vegas right now, they're charging twenty six dollars
for a bottle of water. To put that into perspective
for you, the penny just became irrelevant.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, I don't like carry change anyway, you know ruins
the line. But uh, you know you want to have
a penny or two? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
If you don't have any pennies on you, how are
you gonna tip the girls at the night club.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
That's a good question, boy, so much say why do
we waste of time with you? Stay tuned for more.
Waltman Johnson in Louisiana involves forty five million dollars to
allocate funds to affordable housing. You know what that means?
What does it mean?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, they want to spend forty five million dollars on
free housing.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Free. You said affordable? Wow, well, isn't that the best affordable?
Probably a little both, I would imagine, Uh huh, So
I need to pay for somebody else's house and also
pay for my own because they don't feel like working technically.
That's Prop one in New Orleans.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Prop two in New Orleans seeks approval for the city
to use four hundred and fifteen million dollars in bonds
for infrastructure projects, and Prop three is fifty million dollars
in bonds for drainage. I'm just gonna climb out on
a limb here and say no, no, yes would be
how I would vote on those three.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well, you know, they got to buy some new water
pumps for the next time there's a big flood because
the new water pumps that they bought last year don't
work when they get wet, which is kind of weird,
but that's just the way things have worked in New
Orleans forever and ever since they pretty much invented electric

(10:55):
water pumps times.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Pichium says that repeated changes to election laws in Louisiana
only serve to confuse voters. Is that because you're an idiot?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Why a lot of time? Sure? Yeah, And they do
word them just like you saw on the Texas ballot.
They word all of these little amendments and props and
they were pretty much backwards. So it says, if I'm
for this, you think you're lowering taxes, but in fact,
for it means that you're against lowering taxes.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
In Mississippi today, they have some special elections for what
is it here, legislature. They say they're diluting the black
vote according to Mississippi Today, which means they're probably not.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Probably not. Let's see, No.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Matter the outcome of Tuesday's races, Republicans will still retain
control of both chambers of the Legislature. So if you're
a liberal, don't bother. No, I'm just kidding out. Everybody,
go vote. Seven candidates are looking to fill Jackson Mayor
John Horn's old Senate seat, and voters in Bolivar and
Sunflower Counties can choose a new representative for House District
twenty six in Mississippi.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Very very exciting. Oh yeah, it's all people can talk.
It's just they're thrilled by it. Yeah. So besides, election day,
and it's different in every state. So you do your
state thing, whatever it is, and we're not you know,
we're not here to tell you how to vote. No,
vote conservative. You can vote crazy. Yeah way, I mean,
that's that's your business. You could vote right wing or
you could be a nut job. But I know you've
always been fascinated with the New York Post. They're very

(12:27):
good with headlines. My favorite newspaper, like this one. You
want to you want to read it to the folks. Here,
look at this headline. Cheney dead. Cheney Dead. What a
headline because that tells you everything you need to know.
You don't have to read the story. Now, well, what
else is there to know? I mean, Dick Cheney, not

(12:47):
some mother Cheney lez right, Yeah, well it's family. She's fine, Yeah,
but doubts she's fine. You know, there's a death in
the family, you know, just you're fine. Well yeah, but
they had to see it coming though, right, Plus you
probably just inherited like a hundred million dollars. Huh. I mean,
she'll be fine. You know.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's obviously sad when you lose a parent, But also
isn't that supposed to be the order of things, That
is how it should work.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
The opposite would be so much worse. Cheney did at
eighty four. Now he was a heart attack machine. I
don't know if he actually died of a heart attack overnight,
but maybe just like a lot of people say, they'd
like to just fall asleep and never wake up, and
that's the best way, and you know, instead of running
and screaming from a bear or something.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Something that probably doesn't surprise everyone is we do not
script this show.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
This show. We don't have a script here. That shouldn't
surprise anybody, should it.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
No, we don't. I mean, we never have. It's a
I mean, we might write a couple one liners for ourselves.
Tell him at a comedy show if they're too dirty
for the radio.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
We've done that.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Before, but generally this most of this show is improved.
And weirdly, one of the things we've learned because of Kennedy,
the Fox News contributor, the libertarian woman who used to
work at MTV News, is that the View a TV
show she wants auditioned to be on is very scripted.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Isn't that just amazing?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Especially Joy Bear and Whoopy Goldberg.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
The jokes that they tell are all written for them.
And didn't Joy get very upset because they had a
comedian on Kennedy oh her, and she basically told him
to leave the leave the funny stuff to me.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Kennedy was Kennedy was improvising jokes and she was getting laughs,
and they went to break and Joy said, why don't
you let me be funny? Yeah, that's just Kennedy's personality.
You want her to pretend to be someone else?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, and Joy, you're not funny. I don't know who
named Joy, but they should take it back.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
And then someone came out with some pre written jokes
for Joy and Whoopy. Well, I say all that to
tell you this. Yesterday on the View, Whoopy got mad
because one of her joke writers wrote a joke that
offended her. She was offended by her own joke. Did
she tell it anyway? She got mad and she ripped
up the note card that it was written on. Here's
what happened.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
The Trump only has made about one point eight billion
dollars profited off of this government. And he said that
Joe Biden didn't know who he was partnering using an autopen.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
How come you don't know who this guy is? Does
he used an auto correct?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
M meetings with the judge, the meetings that are they're
supposed to go to.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
When they're listening to what the hell? What passes notes?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay, I have to explain much just happened? We have
some note.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
We've gone from one scene to a different scene. Woopy
just told a joke about how Trump uses an auto pen.
And now because she told that joke.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Off pen used if Trump used an autopen apart it
was a joke.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
We don't know if Trump used an autopen, but we
do know that he didn't know who that.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Crypto gud was.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
What he had to issue a legal correction on the
air because her joke was technically in violation of.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
The law, and they do that pretty regular because they
just mouthed off and say to and they don't know
what the hell they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
So then they had her joke was that Trump's as
bad as Biden, but he's not.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
So could you imagine you know Trump's signature, you know
how he writes, he signs his name. It's very bold,
and you know he's I don't think he would use
an auto pin because he loves signing his name. He
signs it live during a TV broadcast. See him doing it.
That's his thing. Selection Day, I vote really counted Walton

(16:32):
and Johnson
