Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Prime All right, there's this report today detailing how
some Catholic activists are upset at JD Vans for celebrating Honkah.
They're like, you're Catholic, you shouldn't be celebrating Hanukah. Do
they get mad when Jews celebrate Christmas? Okay, well, I
mean this person's Catholic, so I don't know. But for
the record, as the Catholic spokesperson on the radio show,
(00:20):
as the representative of the Catholic community.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Does the Catholic community know that you're a spokesperson on
this radio show? They do? Uh huh, because you're the
you are the Catholic community on this radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, I'm talking about the bigger outside world. Do they
know that you spokesperson for them in the Catholic community
of this radio show? Okay, no, specifically this radio show.
I want to let everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I just want to remind everybody it is not anti
Christian to celebrate Hanukah. Jesus celebrated Hanukkah. The New Testament
mentions Hankah explicitly in John ten twenty two to ten
twenty three. Jesus himself celebrated Honkah both Catholicism and Christianity,
which are basically one and the same, are based off
the teachings of Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ was a
(01:03):
honkah guy.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What did he get for Honukkah? I don't know if
it works like that. Back then, they don't really get
presents like the same kind of like Christmas presents kind
of thing. You know, you get like, uh, one of
those little bit of tiny screwdrivers that you can work
on your eyeglasses with. That's a good Honkah present.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Look, it's right there in the New Testament. It's not
that it's not anti Christian to celebrate Hanukah. It just
sounds anti capitalist, though, But I don't think it is. No,
you could buy stuff for Honika.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It might sounds like more people go buy more stuff
thanks for Christmas than the Hankah things. So I'd say
Christmas is the way, if you're a capitalist, you celebrate
by buying cool stuff. Yeah. Well, look I feel about
just giving money. How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I'm generally in favor of money. Are you offering me money?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No? I was wondering if you feel good enough to
offer me money. I don't have any money to give you.
I do this for a big ant. Nobody around here
got no money. Yeah, why did you think we had money?
But I just wondered. You're the one that owns a business.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You're probably making a lot of money on the side
cutting people's hair over there in that fancy neighbor.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Do it really helps? I don't have kids. You have,
you know, a dog, and I have a dog, and
we know we spend some money on our pets, but
nothing like headerows spend on their children.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Man, you just threw me the perfect alley oop. A
woman is suing the irs to get pets classified as
dependence and eligible for tax deducttion.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Hows she doing with that lawsuit? Does that working its
way through the courts pretty quick?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah? Well, meet Mary Reynolds. I'm sorry. The dog's name
is Canine Finnegan Mary Reynolds, and her owner's name is
Amanda Reynolds. She's a lawyer. She filed a lawsuit in
the Eastern District of New York arguing that the pooch
relies entirely on Reynolds for food, shelter, medical care, training, transportation,
and more children, and that she has owed something Reynolds
(02:45):
argued that Finnegan, an eight year old Golden retriever, has
no independent income, resides exclusively with her, and has annual
expenses that exceed five thousand dollars, all requirements for legal
human dependency under IRS rules. So the IRS defines pets's property.
Renald says this does not reflect her role in the household.
Finnigan's role in the household is like a daughter, she says.
(03:07):
It's a dependent that it's not property. Can just sit
there on the shelf, do nothing. This dog needs food,
it needs to get walked, it needs to go to
the veterinarian.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
See. Yeah, it seems like we all be able to
take off for all the dogs we got. I got nineteen.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
You have nineteen dogs?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Do now?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How did you get nineteen dogs?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It's hard to keep count, you know. So if you
come over and you count only six or seven, just
realize they're running around a lot, and some of them
are up under the trailer and wherever. But do I
got nineteen? How much deductions do I get for that?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I mean, I don't know five thousand times nineteen. You know,
I don't do math on the radio. That's racist.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I won't get your refund.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
There's a lot nice Well, pats have a special place
in many households across the country. The IRS says, up
yours to this, generally to pets. Now the magistrate, Judge
James M. Wicks is overseeing the case. He has granted
a motion to pause the discovery process, as the IRS
will likely file a motion to dismiss the case.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know what you got to do. And in Hollywood
movies and stuff, they always find a friendly judge. I'm
gonna get a put this in front of a friendly judge.
Well we got to do is fi out a friendly
as Oh you had ad I risk maybe we could
find an IRS agent that actually owns pets or somebody,
you know, friendly towards people that own pets.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't know. Do I r S agents even like animals?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, I don't think you gonna find anything like that.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It's like talking to Peta. They say they like animals,
but they just murder all the animals that people bring
to them.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And by the way, we've had more than a few
emails make reminding us what Peter stands for. I think
I think we all get that right.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The people for eating tasty animals.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And tasty animals. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You know it's an old joke, but I still like it.
And even though I've heard that joke a thousand times,
when you say it in front of peda people, it
really upsets them.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's when it's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, hello, sexy, it's been a hell of a Yeah.
We hope it's been mostly good for you and yours.
If life has been a little bit of a nutcracker
to you, don't despair. You'll grow a new bear, all right,
you really will. Happy holadays, and let's grab the new year.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Buy the butt. This is the Walton and Johnson Show.
I don't like Matt dancing there, y'all know I'm a
dang do a dancer?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Are you an eggnogger?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That's all I do? You know? I like buttermilk.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It's kind of like eggnog, ain't it. And then you
can put the alcohol in there and it makes it
even better.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't mind eggnog. I think it's all right. It's
really good with Higgins.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Bolt don't like the I don't know the texture of
it in their mouth, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I have a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well, it's really great with Higgins boat Rum. In fact,
Higgins Higgins boat Rum makes a great Christmas gift in general.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't know if you've seen the recipe or not,
but it basically goes something like this, less eggnog, more
Higgins boat See that's the best. That's what gets good.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Higgins boat rum dot com. Check that out. If you
are a booze drinker or a World War two enthusiast,
that's a cool Christmas gift type. It could be both, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Or even more. I got I got some mixed news
from the world of country music, dude telling normally, I
don't really care about the world of country music these
days because it ain't like it you used today. Country
Morgan Wallen is now the highest selling country artist of
all time, okay, and that ain't the good news. I
don't really care that much about Morgan wall in one
weather that don't like him, don't dislike him. I just
(06:19):
know he's in the news and he shows a lot
of music. But the fact that he's the highest selling
country artist of all time, okay, means just one thing.
What's that Garth Brooks ain't.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, yeah, I know you're right, that does check out.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, Actually, Garth Brooks ain't even number two, and he
bore Luke Colmbs's number two. Garth Brooks is down to
number three, and you know how that just gotta he's
got to be buttered over all that, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Blake Shelton's been in the news quite a bit lately
because his wife, Gwen Stefani is now a Catholic. Okay,
she's out promoting a Catholic prayer app called Hello, And
if you read the articles about her in BuzzFeed, they
say that the app, this is how they describe it.
They say it's an anti abortion app. Oh my, it's
not an anti abortion has almost nothing to do with
(07:04):
the app. The app is for Catholic prayer. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The way you explain Catholicism is that it's just anti abortion.
That's the religion that is against abortion. That's what that is.
I mean, all the others are great with it. All
religions are generally against abortion. That was kind of my point.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Maybe, No, you're right, I mean, it's it's ridiculous, right.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's like I was looking at this list. Garth Brooks
is down to three on this top seller list in
country music. After that, you get Luke grind and George Straight,
Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, like Jack Brian, Chris Tapleton and
number ten Carrie Underwood. I noticed if you if you
don't count Kenny Chesney, she's the first woman on the list.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, what do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah at number ten?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Wait, if you don't count Kenny show.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What but a lot of people do you know how
he is?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah? Well it's okay. I feel that way about Chris Christofferson,
so I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, because you don't know him, you're just basing that
on some.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well he's a pretty boy, he's a fruit loop. He
ruined the outlaws, you know, the Highwayman.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The Highwayman didn't say he ruined them, but they do
say that. He went out to Hollywood and he got all,
you know, movie starish and everything, so he got a
little bit of attitude on him.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, we didn't need that. All right, let's talk about
bullfighting in Kenya?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Can we do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
What if we had a marathon with a bullfight?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, that's a running marathon.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It's match day in western Kenya's Cackamega County, locally known
as the home of.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Bull fighting, where two bulls County, Kackamega County, Kemi Kaka
me e Ga.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
How would you say?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That'smon cack Omega, cack Omega County.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Anyway, that's where two bulls are brought to face off
in a dusty arena as thousands of people cheer.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, that's not really the kind of bullfighting that I
thought you were talking about. Bullfighting means man against bull
in the arena.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's in Spain. This is Africa.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Bull on bullfight.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
The derby is a rematch between a relative newcomer bull
named Shaka Hola, named after the forest where more than
four hundred people linked to a cult died in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You remember, yeah, you remember that, Not Shakazula. No, it's
totally different.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And then another one named Promise that had been a
long time favorite, only losing a few matches in over
ten years.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But didn't Promise get a little, you know, out of
shape and overweight. That's putting on some facts.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, he's been eating good. Well, you know when you
win them, when you're the king. Now. This bull fighting
tradition is deeply rooted among the Lujaya community in Kenya's
Kacamega County. It started as entertainment in celebrations after harvest
season and is now involved into a sport. It has
evolved into a sport that attracts thousands of young people,
some of whom even place bets on social media platforms.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Is there some bloodlust going on? I'm assuming these bullets
they're not friendly to each other, right.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The craziest thing about this is when the bulls are
fighting each other, you would imagine they'd be in a
big stadium, probably with a fence between you and the crowd. No, no, here,
I got a photo of it on the screen. Would
you describe what we're looking at?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, this just looks like it's right out in the
middle of the intersection of some major roadway. That's exactly correct.
The crowd is filling up all the space. If one
were to try to get away from the bull, you
didn't know where to run.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
The crowd is feet away from the bull, so they're
practically touching the ball. I think some of them might
be touching the ball. Count and coup, and they're all
holding a large stick or sword or something to protect themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh that's good protection.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Now here's my question for you. If PETA wants to
pick on the people in Alaska for having sled dog raisers.
Why don't they get involved over here in Kenya.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, don't get on over there and straighten them out
on some stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Well, as it turns out, this sport is actually helping
the economy. It is promoting unity and social solidarity among
the Onogway tribe Youngagway tribe.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Na n g w E.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
How would you say that? I'm long glad now with
the bullfighting, young people in Kenya created an avenue to
bond and use matches to sell items like snacks and
bull chasing sticks. Bull chasing sticks are very popular with
young people in Kenya.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
As a bull chasing stick run you these days? Do
we have them on the Walton Johnson Stoke? But you
know what, now that you bring it up, we probably
should sell them, and I love w JS. I think
we should.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Hours before the match, shackle Hal of the bull is
given his daily dose of knappy air, grass water, and
a concoction of traditional herbs believed to make him stronger
than his peers.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's a grass fed beef. No, that's nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Now he gets pampered inside a hidden shelter behind his
owner's house. Away from the prying eyes before being transported
by truck to the fighting arena. His owner, Joe sat Melemo,
talks to the bull as part of a traditional ritual,
encouraging him to take on his opponent in under five minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Apparently they don't actually kill each other or like one
of them, you know, beats the other one that stabs
it with its horns or whatever. So during the match,
the two bulls face off under five minutes. I'm not
sure why it has to be under five minutes, and
after one of the bulls escapes like turns and runs,
(11:56):
the others declared the winner. That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
So the two most pop sports in Kenya are marathon
running and bull on ball.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Violence also coming to America.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What if we combined both of these things together?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Nah, you talking sport?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
What if we had a bull chase a human. What
if we had two bulls fighting each other while they
ran a marathon.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
For twenty six miles? I do bulls normally run that distance?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Who knows, billyet, you're a bull expert? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They're not known for their long distance capabilities, generally sharp
and powerful charges.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All right, well, what if we gave him some more
of those herbal remedy that they're using in Kenya.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I would do it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Have you ever heard of that before? Mister?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh, the Kenyon herbal remedy used to make the bulls
more amorous. Isn't that what you was smoking on the
back porch a couple of nights ago?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No? No, no, that well, no, that calms you down.
This is supposed to make you hyper and more excited.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
People suggest that might be why the fox showed up
a couple of nights ago on that porch, because of
the aroma that he was picking up off of something
Kenny was doing out there.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Wait a second, you think the fox that keeps coming
up onto the back porch to make friends with me?
Kenny Webster, executive producer the most popular morning show in
America is just attracted to the smell of the green
herbage that we're burning while we're here broadcasting live from Colorado.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And if that is the case, then get back out
there and do it some more. Because he was cute.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh he's too young. You can't give foxes marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You can shotgun them.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, tequila maybe, but not marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, I said, a little bowl of tequila down there.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Now you're talking.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
This program is brought to you by the Nitrous Oxide
Sledding Company, making sure your kids get out of the house,
down the street and into the next county for the holidays.

Higgins boat See that's the best. That's what gets good.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Higgins boat rum dot com. Check that out. If you
are a booze drinker or a World War two enthusiast,
that's a cool Christmas gift type. It could be both, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Or even more. I got I got some mixed news
from the world of country music, dude telling normally, I
don't really care about the world of country music these
days because it ain't like it you used today. Country
Morgan Wallen is now the highest selling country artist of
all time, okay, and that ain't the good news. I
don't really care that much about Morgan wall in one
weather that don't like him, don't dislike him. I just
(06:19):
know he's in the news and he shows a lot
of music. But the fact that he's the highest selling
country artist of all time, okay, means just one thing.
What's that Garth Brooks ain't.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, yeah, I know you're right, that does check out.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, Actually, Garth Brooks ain't even number two, and he
bore Luke Colmbs's number two. Garth Brooks is down to
number three, and you know how that just gotta he's
got to be buttered over all that, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Blake Shelton's been in the news quite a bit lately
because his wife, Gwen Stefani is now a Catholic. Okay,
she's out promoting a Catholic prayer app called Hello, And
if you read the articles about her in BuzzFeed, they
say that the app, this is how they describe it.
They say it's an anti abortion app. Oh my, it's
not an anti abortion has almost nothing to do with
(07:04):
the app. The app is for Catholic prayer. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The way you explain Catholicism is that it's just anti abortion.
That's the religion that is against abortion. That's what that is.
I mean, all the others are great with it. All
religions are generally against abortion. That was kind of my point.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Maybe, No, you're right, I mean, it's it's ridiculous, right.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's like I was looking at this list. Garth Brooks
is down to three on this top seller list in
country music. After that, you get Luke grind and George Straight,
Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, like Jack Brian, Chris Tapleton and
number ten Carrie Underwood. I noticed if you if you
don't count Kenny Chesney, she's the first woman on the list.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, what do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah at number ten?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Wait, if you don't count Kenny show.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What but a lot of people do you know how
he is?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah? Well it's okay. I feel that way about Chris Christofferson,
so I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, because you don't know him, you're just basing that
on some.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well he's a pretty boy, he's a fruit loop. He
ruined the outlaws, you know, the Highwayman.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The Highwayman didn't say he ruined them, but they do
say that. He went out to Hollywood and he got all,
you know, movie starish and everything, so he got a
little bit of attitude on him.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, we didn't need that. All right, let's talk about
bullfighting in Kenya?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Can we do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
What if we had a marathon with a bullfight?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, that's a running marathon.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It's match day in western Kenya's Cackamega County, locally known
as the home of.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Bull fighting, where two bulls County, Kackamega County, Kemi Kaka
me e Ga.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
How would you say?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That'smon cack Omega, cack Omega County.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Anyway, that's where two bulls are brought to face off
in a dusty arena as thousands of people cheer.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, that's not really the kind of bullfighting that I
thought you were talking about. Bullfighting means man against bull
in the arena.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's in Spain. This is Africa.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Bull on bullfight.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
The derby is a rematch between a relative newcomer bull
named Shaka Hola, named after the forest where more than
four hundred people linked to a cult died in twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You remember, yeah, you remember that, Not Shakazula. No, it's
totally different.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And then another one named Promise that had been a
long time favorite, only losing a few matches in over
ten years.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
But didn't Promise get a little, you know, out of
shape and overweight. That's putting on some facts.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, he's been eating good. Well, you know when you
win them, when you're the king. Now. This bull fighting
tradition is deeply rooted among the Lujaya community in Kenya's
Kacamega County. It started as entertainment in celebrations after harvest
season and is now involved into a sport. It has
evolved into a sport that attracts thousands of young people,
some of whom even place bets on social media platforms.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Is there some bloodlust going on? I'm assuming these bullets
they're not friendly to each other, right.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The craziest thing about this is when the bulls are
fighting each other, you would imagine they'd be in a
big stadium, probably with a fence between you and the crowd. No, no, here,
I got a photo of it on the screen. Would
you describe what we're looking at?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, this just looks like it's right out in the
middle of the intersection of some major roadway. That's exactly correct.
The crowd is filling up all the space. If one
were to try to get away from the bull, you
didn't know where to run.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
The crowd is feet away from the bull, so they're
practically touching the ball. I think some of them might
be touching the ball. Count and coup, and they're all
holding a large stick or sword or something to protect themselves.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh that's good protection.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Now here's my question for you. If PETA wants to
pick on the people in Alaska for having sled dog raisers.
Why don't they get involved over here in Kenya.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, don't get on over there and straighten them out
on some stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Well, as it turns out, this sport is actually helping
the economy. It is promoting unity and social solidarity among
the Onogway tribe Youngagway tribe.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Na n g w E.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
How would you say that? I'm long glad now with
the bullfighting, young people in Kenya created an avenue to
bond and use matches to sell items like snacks and
bull chasing sticks. Bull chasing sticks are very popular with
young people in Kenya.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
As a bull chasing stick run you these days? Do
we have them on the Walton Johnson Stoke? But you
know what, now that you bring it up, we probably
should sell them, and I love w JS. I think
we should.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Hours before the match, shackle Hal of the bull is
given his daily dose of knappy air, grass water, and
a concoction of traditional herbs believed to make him stronger
than his peers.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's a grass fed beef. No, that's nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Now he gets pampered inside a hidden shelter behind his
owner's house. Away from the prying eyes before being transported
by truck to the fighting arena. His owner, Joe sat Melemo,
talks to the bull as part of a traditional ritual,
encouraging him to take on his opponent in under five minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Apparently they don't actually kill each other or like one
of them, you know, beats the other one that stabs
it with its horns or whatever. So during the match,
the two bulls face off under five minutes. I'm not
sure why it has to be under five minutes, and
after one of the bulls escapes like turns and runs,
(11:56):
the others declared the winner. That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
So the two most pop sports in Kenya are marathon
running and bull on ball.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Violence also coming to America.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What if we combined both of these things together?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Nah, you talking sport?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
What if we had a bull chase a human. What
if we had two bulls fighting each other while they
ran a marathon.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
For twenty six miles? I do bulls normally run that distance?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Who knows, billyet, you're a bull expert? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They're not known for their long distance capabilities, generally sharp
and powerful charges.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All right, well, what if we gave him some more
of those herbal remedy that they're using in Kenya.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I would do it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Have you ever heard of that before? Mister?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh, the Kenyon herbal remedy used to make the bulls
more amorous. Isn't that what you was smoking on the
back porch a couple of nights ago?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No? No, no, that well, no, that calms you down.
This is supposed to make you hyper and more excited.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
People suggest that might be why the fox showed up
a couple of nights ago on that porch, because of
the aroma that he was picking up off of something
Kenny was doing out there.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Wait a second, you think the fox that keeps coming
up onto the back porch to make friends with me?
Kenny Webster, executive producer the most popular morning show in
America is just attracted to the smell of the green
herbage that we're burning while we're here broadcasting live from Colorado.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And if that is the case, then get back out
there and do it some more. Because he was cute.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh he's too young. You can't give foxes marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You can shotgun them.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, tequila maybe, but not marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, I said, a little bowl of tequila down there.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Now you're talking.
