Speaker 1 (00:00):
The commonwealth as they call it in Virginia, where a
(00:04):
high school football coach is nowhere to be found and
his wife is having quite a day on social media.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah, this messed up stuff started up. I guess last
week sometime the football coach out of high school Virginia
went missing.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Oh what happened? Well?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Where'd he go? What happened to him? Terrible, terrible news.
Travis Turner's forty six years old head coach Union High
school Appalasia, Virginia. Isn't that part of that area where
that lady in Tennessee hates? She just don't like apples,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
She doesn't like Hillbillies or Nashville, which I think it's
most to Tennessee right there, right there.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, now the news is that he was being investigated
for some serious allegations involving child porn.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh god, yeah, so now we're not as worried about
where he went as we used to be, are we.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I wasn't worried to begin with, But now that I
know that I hate this guy, I'm assuming he's guilty.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
A family member, probably his wife, said the last time
they saw him, he had gone off into the woods
with a gun. You think he'd be pretty easy to
find if he did what they are thinking he might
have done in the woods with a gun.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I don't know, from what I've heard, there's a lot
of people out in the woods in Virginia walking around
with a gun.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That could be a lot of guys out there, that's true.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
But as a Southern state took took the gun with.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Him for the reason they're suggesting, because the police are,
you know, closing in on him, Uh, chances are to
be pretty easy to spot just laying there, look for
the buzzards or circling overhead or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
So the guy's accused of being a pedophile and he
is also a youth football coach.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That's pretty disturbing.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
The wife of the missing Virginia football coach Travis Turner,
has quietly deleted her social media accounts, just as.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
How do you delete them? None?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Quietly? Yeah, I don't know, that's just how they do.
But you ever think about that quietly deleted their social media? Well,
how do you do it with a big bang?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I want to do a really big exciting delete here.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, you know it sounds difficult.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'll just play white Devil's advocate not that I have
a choice, don't White ladies normally love to announce on
social media when they're gonna take a break from social media.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Then they don't. They don't really delete their accounts because
they got to watch and see what everybody says about
them after they announced that they were.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Talk about them one of the most annoying group of
people in the world. It's like, hey, everyone, I just
want to say I'm taking a break from.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Social media for a while.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You're not gonna see me around for thanks, And then
a day later posting again, Oh, it just just occurred
to me. I needed to tell you all something really important.
What is it you need to tell us? I don't
like eggnog? Yeah, okay, whatever anyway, So, uh yeah, I
don't know if this guy's in his center guilt.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
It sounds guilty to me. He's out hiding in the
woods with a gun.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Days after he vanished to the woods.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
With a gun to find out the guy that is
impersonating him on child porn websites, Yeah, that didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Are their websites for that? How does that work?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Days after he vanished, police suddenly announced Turner was wanted
for five counts of child pornography and another five for
using a computer to solicit a miner. And I don't
know in Virginia, I thought a lot of these miners
had lost their jobs.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Uh yeah, I heard that they'd had some trouble there.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
As the widespread search for the missing, well purported pedophile continues,
a lawyer for the family revealed that he was last
seen leaving his home with a gun when he disappeared
into a heavily wooded area. So no need to worry
about him, guys, I'm sure he's dead by now. Everyone
move along.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Don't do the right thing, yeah, you know, after we
did all the wrong things. Finally, maybe Welsie.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Now that I'm dating a cop, I've been hanging out
with her cop friends, and so I get to ask
them questions I wouldn't normally get to ask my friends,
who are mostly comedians and podcasters and stuff. And one
of the things they told me was one of the
easiest places to commit a murder is here in southeast
is where our flagship station's at.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Why is that exactly Well.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Because of the humidity and all the wildlife and stuff,
they said, all you really got to do is get
a dead body out to the woods or out to
a field.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Might When they say easy to commit a murder, what
they mean is to hide a body, right, okay, to
get away with committing a murder.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Because I would think hiding the body would be the
hard part doing the murder. It doesn't seem that hard. Yeah,
And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Every time I drive up and down the street, I
always see places where it'd be good to hide a body. Yeah,
I got like a top ten list on my well,
I mean, you know, in my head, I got a
you know, like if I was looking for somebody, sure,
that's where I would go and look to see if
maybe somebody hit a body done her.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I always figured the Bayou would be a good spot.
Or so many places in South Louisiana. The Bayou is
a little crowded.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, they've dug up two hundred people out of that
bayou in the last six seven years. So yeah, try
to be a little more creative, would you. Well, you know,
I'm just and again this is just a hypothetical.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
We would never do this, But if we did commit
a murder and we had to hind a body, I
would have thought the water would be the place to
do it. But I'm told actually just dragging him out
to a field somewhere, what with all the wildlife and everything,
the humidity, the mosquitoes.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That. Yeah, that's how it was explained to me. Over
the weekend kyos and whatnot. They'll scatter it out pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
My girlfriend's new friends are really interesting people to drink with.
They sound, they tell you some stuff you wouldn't normally
have learned. They don't tell you that on those cops shows.
You know, that's that's what we should do. We should
start a reality show cops, but dirty cops, you know
what I mean? Yeah, maybe the show be called dirty
cops or like, are they breaking the law?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But sometimes to get the crime solved, they go into
a gray area of legality, and you know, it's still
a bad guy.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
What do you care if they wrough them up in
the squad car a little?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Is that new girlfriend of yours dirty? Like a dirty
dirty girl?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Like figuratively or literally?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Nah, she a dirty dirty girl, Kenny, you know, I uh,
she's a nice Catholic girl.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
So yes, obviously, like yourself, I'm sure you guys are
waiting until marriage to do the right thing. Okay, so
we were told by one of our Jewish friends, there's
this trick where you put a hole in a sheet.
H it's been working great for us.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Weird.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, but apparently some of those shoots get warned by
one never mind, never mind, Yeah, let's leave that one alone.
Venezuela's Maduro spotted for the first time in days, ending
the flight speculation.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
See also missing because of child porn.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, because we're probably about to go to war with Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
That's the latest.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro appeared in public Sunday for the
first time in five days, which temporarily put an end
to speculation that he had fled the country following a
reported ultimatum from Trump to leave or else.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Maduro, aged sixty.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Three, presented prizes and gave remarks at an annual coffee
awards ceremony in the eastern part of the capitol, Caracas,
at one point leading a chant with Venezuela's economy was indestructible,
intouchable and unbeatable, and I gotta I'm gonna ahead and
challenge on that one. It sounds like if you're the
leader of a country where people routinely eat zoo animals
(07:04):
to stay alive. You don't have an indestructible economy.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Don't sound like it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, no, interesting, not a lot of Venezuelan restaurants around here.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm not yet.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Oh no, we suck again.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We now live in a weird world where the Super
Mario music tells you we're probably about to talk about
a murderer in the city of New York.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Uh and we are. Why play Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Because that's the thing now on the internet. You know,
because his name's Luigi. I know, I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh, Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Like a lot of news stories, there's the news that
the media wants you to pay attention to, and then
there's the less obvious detail in the background that's far
more important. Luigione is do in court today for what
they call is a pivotal hearing on his backpack. They're
trying to throw some evidence they claim investigators illegally acquired.
Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate charger of executing the
(08:08):
head of America's largest healthcare company, is do back in
court today for an evidence hearing and the twenties six.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They want to exclude the gun, the notes, the backpack,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, now it doesn't sound like that's gonna happen. I'm
guessing this doesn't. The evidence does not get thrown out today.
That would be my gas based on And again I'm
not a lawyer. I tell boner jokes about politicians for
a living. But I have watched a lot of analysis
of this over the last twenty four hours, and most
of the legal experts have said, probably won't get thrown out.
Here's the more concerning detail to the prosecutors. They have
(08:43):
to pick a jury soon. They're doing this in New
York City, where Luigi Mangione is treated like a god something.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's just what a messed up place. This is.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The people that idolize him have fan groups on the
internet on Reddit and and you know a Blue Sky
and these left wing social media platforms where they talk
about how great he is and they strategize ways to
get him out of jail. And a common conversation these
people are having with their anonymous social media accounts on
(09:15):
the internet is how do we get on the jury?
How do how do we trick the prosecutors into believing
we're not fans of this guy, and then what do
we do to a quit get on.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
The jury and then already have your mind made up,
you want to get this guy off.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
To those of you that question whether or not this
is as serious of an issue as I'm making a
sound or we're making it sound, remember they're going to
pick the jury in the same city where they just
elected Zorhan Mom Donnie and it wasn't even close. Zorhan
Mom Donnie won by a landslide in New York City.
Far left politics very popular in the Big Apple today.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What about the video of him shooting that guy right
come into play at all? I gotta think it has to.
I would think maybe. So they said all that stuff
was inside the backpack and that they did not get,
you know, a warrant or whatever to look inside the backpack.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The Manhattan District Attorney's office is preparing to call a
whopping twenty eight witnesses to the stand and play hours
and hours of body cam footage into hearing that could
last a full week. One of Mangione's lawyers told a
judge last Monday, while discussing scheduling in a separate case,
that the unusually large amount of witnesses for a pre
trial hearing does not generally bode well for the prosecution.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
They claim.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And to your point about throwing away the evidence, if
you got caught with a bag full of drugs, pretend
it wasn't a gun or whatever, and you think, in
what world would the evidence get thrown away because they
didn't have a search warrant?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
No, it's does that ever happen? This is a real
gray area, like a real technicality. I'm like, well, you
didn't have a search warrant to look at his backpack. Yeah,
but wouldn't you argue he was wearing the backpack and
so you can search us suspects pockets things like that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And what about that whole probable calls thing? They always
bring that up in TV shows. It's like exigent circumstances,
all that kind of stuff. You might have had a
bomb in that backpack, didn't they know? They need to
know what was in there for their own safety if
nothing else.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, So the argument they're trying to make here, have
you ever heard this before that you need a warrant
to go into somebody's glove box if it's locked. Have
you ever heard that before jay Z as a song,
all that kind of stuff like that jay Z song.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
If you're having girl problems out for bad for your son,
I got ninety nine problems. Oh they siks Bach, not
you me. Yeah, this is the radio edit.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
We can't actually say bitch on the radio can.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But it's a little unsavory at times.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
There's a point.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There's a lyric in this song that a lot of
rap music enthusiasts are familiar with that if the glove
box is locked, you don't need a warrant for that. Yeah,
but Uigi Mangioni's backpack was not locked. And it's not
a glove box. It's not a vehicle he was driving,
or it's a backpack. Is an article of clothing? Would
you disagree? An article of clothing? H No, it's an accessory. Okay,
(12:14):
hang on, you're wearing it right, Sometimes you wear it
is a fanny pack. An article of clothing.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Is a wristwatch clothing?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It's jewelry, okay, but you're not. They didn't find wearing it.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Look, I'm wearing one now. Yes, that's my point. Is
it clothing? Okay?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
If you had cocaine hidden in your watch? For example,
and you got caught with that, I would say, yeah,
you were wearing something that contained drugs if it's in
your pocket, listen to I was trying to explain the law.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'd not do what New York does, and we'll just
sit back and have to be in in awe of
their findings.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm not sure imagine how crazy this is in New
York City and elsewhere, but certainly in New York City.
This guy is a folk hero. Crowdfunding brought in more
than a million dollars for his legal Imagine murdering someone
in the general public throws a million dollars a gay?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It nice?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And why do you hate this guy? We don't like
the healthcare laws? And who created the healthcare laws? Democrats?
And which party do you vote for? The Democrats? Which Democrat?
Did you name the healthcare laws after Obama?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
That guy?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
And do you not like Obama? No, he's our favorite Democrat.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
They try to gun him down. I don't think they
do it, No, I hope not. I don't want to
murder any wouldn't. We wouldn't recommend it. But did they No,
they didn't go after the dude that was responsible for it.
Dude took a job. He took a job. He wanted
some money, and he took a job running the company.
I that's all they is do it. And he's not
(13:43):
a billionaire. They out, They're like, well, it's okay to
kill billionaires. Yeah, but he's not a billionaire. Taylor Swift's
a billionaire. Do you want to murder her? Like, sir,
they'll take you off the radio for that. I mean
to be clear, I don't want to murder her. I
think it's an absurd argument. We want somebody else to
do it. Four you say no, don't murder billionaires is
my position. Over the last fifteen months, we've traveled to
(14:06):
every corner of the United States. I've now been in
fifty seven states. Walton and Johnson Radio Network

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Maduro, aged sixty.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Three, presented prizes and gave remarks at an annual coffee
awards ceremony in the eastern part of the capitol, Caracas,
at one point leading a chant with Venezuela's economy was indestructible,
intouchable and unbeatable, and I gotta I'm gonna ahead and
challenge on that one. It sounds like if you're the
leader of a country where people routinely eat zoo animals
(07:04):
to stay alive. You don't have an indestructible economy.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Don't sound like it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, no, interesting, not a lot of Venezuelan restaurants around here.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm not yet.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Oh no, we suck again.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We now live in a weird world where the Super
Mario music tells you we're probably about to talk about
a murderer in the city of New York.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Uh and we are. Why play Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Because that's the thing now on the internet. You know,
because his name's Luigi. I know, I'm not proud of it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh, Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Like a lot of news stories, there's the news that
the media wants you to pay attention to, and then
there's the less obvious detail in the background that's far
more important. Luigione is do in court today for what
they call is a pivotal hearing on his backpack. They're
trying to throw some evidence they claim investigators illegally acquired.
Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate charger of executing the
(08:08):
head of America's largest healthcare company, is do back in
court today for an evidence hearing and the twenties six.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They want to exclude the gun, the notes, the backpack,
all of it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, now it doesn't sound like that's gonna happen. I'm
guessing this doesn't. The evidence does not get thrown out today.
That would be my gas based on And again I'm
not a lawyer. I tell boner jokes about politicians for
a living. But I have watched a lot of analysis
of this over the last twenty four hours, and most
of the legal experts have said, probably won't get thrown out.
Here's the more concerning detail to the prosecutors. They have
(08:43):
to pick a jury soon. They're doing this in New
York City, where Luigi Mangione is treated like a god something.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's just what a messed up place. This is.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The people that idolize him have fan groups on the
internet on Reddit and and you know a Blue Sky
and these left wing social media platforms where they talk
about how great he is and they strategize ways to
get him out of jail. And a common conversation these
people are having with their anonymous social media accounts on
(09:15):
the internet is how do we get on the jury?
How do how do we trick the prosecutors into believing
we're not fans of this guy, and then what do
we do to a quit get on.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
The jury and then already have your mind made up,
you want to get this guy off.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
To those of you that question whether or not this
is as serious of an issue as I'm making a
sound or we're making it sound, remember they're going to
pick the jury in the same city where they just
elected Zorhan Mom Donnie and it wasn't even close. Zorhan
Mom Donnie won by a landslide in New York City.
Far left politics very popular in the Big Apple today.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What about the video of him shooting that guy right
come into play at all? I gotta think it has to.
I would think maybe. So they said all that stuff
was inside the backpack and that they did not get,
you know, a warrant or whatever to look inside the backpack.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
The Manhattan District Attorney's office is preparing to call a
whopping twenty eight witnesses to the stand and play hours
and hours of body cam footage into hearing that could
last a full week. One of Mangione's lawyers told a
judge last Monday, while discussing scheduling in a separate case,
that the unusually large amount of witnesses for a pre
trial hearing does not generally bode well for the prosecution.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
They claim.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And to your point about throwing away the evidence, if
you got caught with a bag full of drugs, pretend
it wasn't a gun or whatever, and you think, in
what world would the evidence get thrown away because they
didn't have a search warrant?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
No, it's does that ever happen? This is a real
gray area, like a real technicality. I'm like, well, you
didn't have a search warrant to look at his backpack. Yeah,
but wouldn't you argue he was wearing the backpack and
so you can search us suspects pockets things like that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And what about that whole probable calls thing? They always
bring that up in TV shows. It's like exigent circumstances,
all that kind of stuff. You might have had a
bomb in that backpack, didn't they know? They need to
know what was in there for their own safety if
nothing else.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, So the argument they're trying to make here, have
you ever heard this before that you need a warrant
to go into somebody's glove box if it's locked. Have
you ever heard that before jay Z as a song,
all that kind of stuff like that jay Z song.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
If you're having girl problems out for bad for your son,
I got ninety nine problems. Oh they siks Bach, not
you me. Yeah, this is the radio edit.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
We can't actually say bitch on the radio can.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But it's a little unsavory at times.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
There's a point.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
There's a lyric in this song that a lot of
rap music enthusiasts are familiar with that if the glove
box is locked, you don't need a warrant for that. Yeah,
but Uigi Mangioni's backpack was not locked. And it's not
a glove box. It's not a vehicle he was driving,
or it's a backpack. Is an article of clothing? Would
you disagree? An article of clothing? H No, it's an accessory. Okay,
(12:14):
hang on, you're wearing it right, Sometimes you wear it
is a fanny pack. An article of clothing.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Is a wristwatch clothing?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It's jewelry, okay, but you're not. They didn't find wearing it.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Look, I'm wearing one now. Yes, that's my point. Is
it clothing? Okay?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
If you had cocaine hidden in your watch? For example,
and you got caught with that, I would say, yeah,
you were wearing something that contained drugs if it's in
your pocket, listen to I was trying to explain the law.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'd not do what New York does, and we'll just
sit back and have to be in in awe of
their findings.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm not sure imagine how crazy this is in New
York City and elsewhere, but certainly in New York City.
This guy is a folk hero. Crowdfunding brought in more
than a million dollars for his legal Imagine murdering someone
in the general public throws a million dollars a gay?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It nice?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And why do you hate this guy? We don't like
the healthcare laws? And who created the healthcare laws? Democrats?
And which party do you vote for? The Democrats? Which Democrat?
Did you name the healthcare laws after Obama?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
That guy?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
And do you not like Obama? No, he's our favorite Democrat.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
They try to gun him down. I don't think they
do it, No, I hope not. I don't want to
murder any wouldn't. We wouldn't recommend it. But did they No,
they didn't go after the dude that was responsible for it.
Dude took a job. He took a job. He wanted
some money, and he took a job running the company.
I that's all they is do it. And he's not
(13:43):
a billionaire. They out, They're like, well, it's okay to
kill billionaires. Yeah, but he's not a billionaire. Taylor Swift's
a billionaire. Do you want to murder her? Like, sir,
they'll take you off the radio for that. I mean
to be clear, I don't want to murder her. I
think it's an absurd argument. We want somebody else to
do it. Four you say no, don't murder billionaires is
my position. Over the last fifteen months, we've traveled to
(14:06):
every corner of the United States. I've now been in
fifty seven states. Walton and Johnson Radio Network

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
