Speaker 1 (00:00):
Before we get to celebrity birthdays, I have to explain
what I just saw during commercial break?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
What did you see? Was it a space alien?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I had forgotten that Pussy Riot was even a thing,
that the band Pussy Riot was a Russian punk all
female girl.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Band, all female ol girl band. Huh? And on still
is it? Still is that? And they still exist?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
The country of Russia, Vladimir Putin's still there, has just
declared them to be an extremist group. Kind of like,
how here in Texas we just declared care to be
an extremist ruh huh?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Or any of the girls from the Riot or any
of them maybe a Ukrainian have Ukraine family members maybe
or anything like that. Well, that's the thing. They're all
Russian girls. Yeah, they all kind of just blend in together,
you know.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And so I looked them up. I was like, what
happened with Pussy Riot? They still make music, They still
have music coming out. The music they make is in English, right,
because that's the way to fire up a Russian.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Revolution, that's the way to make money.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And I just watched this music video for a song
they did call police State, and in the music video
they show Trump having a meeting with Putin, and the
way they depict it, they try to make it look
like Trump is Putin's buddy and he's a bad guy.
And I wonder if they don't know that Trump has
been giving billions of dollars to Ukraine so they could
(01:17):
defend themselves against Rashia.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
They've got to know that. I mean, third graders in
America know that. I was like, well, hang on a
second here, if Trump we don't know what their news
allows them to know over there? You hate Trump?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I get that, and you hate Putin obviously because the
music video makes it obvious you.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Really hate Putin.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And but you also are trying to paint the picture
here that Trump and Putin are aligned even though Trump
is funding the opposition military against Putin. M Am, I
painting a picture care clearly enough.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
But it makes any sense? Well, they are girls. It
kind of proves another point we've been making though. Women
just don't really get this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Like why help Ukraine if we don't even get credit
for it? We don't even get credit for it? Well credit?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, yeah, okay, well, yes, what Kenny has done everything
he can to help Ukraine defeat Putin and the terrible
Russian commis. So there, how about you feel better? Are
they communists or anything something else? Now? Now, they're both
our enemies basically, I mean, come on, let's face it, Yeah,
sick to one half a dozen another? You know who
(02:20):
don't like it when both of your enemies fight each other?
Right know, that's a good time right there.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The thing I ain't even understand about Ussia is all
the women are very beautiful, but they sound like they're
evil and on it.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
All beautiful most Russian, most Russian ones that get on camera,
you know. Uh, Russia's trying to keep that whole Uh
what does it called them baboushkas? Uh, They're trying to
keep them hidding, you know, them old Russian grandma looking
types with like a ward on the end of the chin,
you know, with a hair growing out of it and stuff.
I don't they hide that. I don't see them as often. No,
(02:51):
they hide that. But then all the men look like
they just got stung by a beer. Are you okay,
mister Kenny? It does seem like we're ignoring something vital
to the show. All right. Celebrity birthday time. Happy birthday
to Vladimir Putin. No No, No.

I believe she did, yes, involving young boys or something,
so I don't remember exactly something like that.

(06:23):
tires or something. Well, that's exciting. And you had the
tire problem this morning. That is a birthday. That is
a weird coincidence. You got one of those things that
happens a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That is really something. Boy, I'll tell you how shocking.
That is shocking news.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Try and move along. Do the day in history thing.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, Today in history probably brought to you by law Tigers.

I thought pepper Pot was the name of a general
for Vietnam. Hey, it looks like fun here. In fifteen
oh eight, the Portuguese attacked, pillaged, and burned a Muslim
city Dabool or something like that. Oh you know they
(07:26):
well they were probably begging for it. Sure you know
how they are the Portuguese today. In seventeen seventy eight,
the British captured Savannah, Georgia. What to do with it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Uh, probably eventually gave it back, Probably made him eat
like mushy peas and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm gonna give way back again. Fifteen fifty eight, Charles
the fifth King of Spain and King of the Holy
Roman and the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. That
sounds like an R and B group was buried. What's
that the Holy Roman Emperors. Oh yeah, that'd be a
good name for a band.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Today, in eighteen forty five, we'reing number twenty eight through
a publics of Texas enters the United States.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I was wondering if y'all are gonna get around of
that today.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Today in eighteen forty nine, gas state, were we number
twenty eight?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yay?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Today in eighteen forty nine, gas lighting is installed in
the White House. So that's the thing now, the gas
lighting us every day now, Man, I hate when women
use that term. He's gaslighting me. What is he doing?
He's trying to convince me he's not a monster. Well,
why is he a monster? He expects me to be
ready to go on time? That's your use to the
word gas lighting that Today in eighteen fifty one, the
(08:30):
first YMCA opened in the USA and the Old South
Church in Boston.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
The old Trail of tears was on this eighteen thirty five,
some treaty signed government represent Cherokee, Cherokee people, Cherokee anyway,
seating all Cherokee lands east of the Mississippi River to
the United States of America. And y'all, y'all got gone, get,
go and get And that was the trail of tears
(08:55):
as they all hitted for Oklahoma. I guess they'd heard
about Oklahoma and they cried all all the way to it.
I know that's what I heard too. They must really
hate the Flaming Lips. They had no idea later they
would be supporting a really great college softball team.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I'm sure that made him feel better today. In nineteen
oh two, Scott Choplin copyrights The Entertainer and a few
other compositions Good Times.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
This isn't my favorite onhold music. Were bad things for Indians.
The massacre the Wounded Knee. Oh, I thought this was
about the food. Eighteen ninety US seventh Cavalry Regiment killed
more than two hundred captive Lakota at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.
They're still not over it, by the way, can't blame them.
(09:42):
You know what, it's just really rude. You know what
I was just thinking about. You know how liberals will
always tell you we need more globalism and diversity, and
you ask them why, and what's the first thing? They
always say? Food? The food.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They're like, oh, go to a diverse city. There's so
many restaurants. Oh, the spices and the flavor. But then
you notice how there's no Native American restauran. What are
the liberals unintentionally telling us.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Wait, there's no Native American Like, what would they serve?
Just maze exactly. That's pretty much all I had, right,
But they must have had something. Well, they ate a
lot of venison.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I would imagine there's no restaurant where you could go
get you know, maize and venison they don't have.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Is that the liberals kind of unintelligent, unintentionally telling us
that Native American culture is not that great.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
M I mean, think about it there. I mean I
think they're wrong. I think their culture was fantastic. Me too.
But these liberals, oh they are rude.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, they celebrate the Somalian restaurant, the Ethiopian restaurant, the
Guyrish restaurant. But you never hear them celebrating a Native
American restaurant. Today, in nineteen forty London is devastated by
a German air raid.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh really, the Germans. I don't know if you're a
student of history or not, but yeah, back in those days,
apparently the Germans were just hard to get along with,
and nowadays they're so much better.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Today, in nineteen sixty five, a Christmas truce in Vietnam
is President Johnson works to get both sides to the
peace talks. So that was today and today. In nineteen
seventy two, the last issue of Life magazine was published.
It was a double issue the year in pictures.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Ooh, how exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Today, in nineteen eighty nine, Canada is the first nation
to ban smoking on all domestic air flights Losers, bo Boy,
And finally today, in nineteen ninety seven, Hong Kong begins
a massive slaughter of all its chickens due to the
bird flu outbreak. Was that kind of like mad cow disease?
All the birds were eating each other, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So if they bought the ground up birds gave it
to him and the bird seed, I'd eat it. Well,
yeah you will, Yeah, yeah, let's all go to the lobby.
Let's all go to the lobby. Let's all go to
the lobby to get ourselves d Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
I believe it is im part of upon me as
(11:56):
the sports director for the last couple of days of
the year to bring up this day in history in sports. Okay, oh,
we didn't know we did that. Tom Brady fans would
like you to know that it was on this day
in two thousand and seven that Tom Brady set a
record for the NFL at that time and throwing his
fiftieth touchdown pass and the New England Patriots became the
(12:17):
first team in NFL history to finish the regular season
as sixteen and oh undefeated sixteen games. But yeah, the
Miami Dolphins has already done. It was in seventy two
they went undefeated all the way through the playoffs to
win the championship playoffs. Yeah. See, the difference is they
(12:38):
only played fourteen games in a regular season back then,
so obviously they couldn't have finished sixteen and oh at
the end of the regular season because they didn't play
sixteen games. Well, in two thousand and seven, they did
play sixteen games, and the Patriots went undefeated through that time,
but then they didn't go undefeated through the playoffs, so
(12:58):
that really hard the end of the season for Tom Brady.
What a shame that. That's too bad. Other exciting sports
developments that happened back in the day. No, y'all don't
care about the United Negro College. Hun do you'll? No?
I care? I care. It's important. That's important to me. Yeah,
(13:21):
why what about him? Wayne? Wayne Gretzky scored a NHL
career thirty second hat trick. What about it is? And
that was like a big thing.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Three goals I think are three points? What scores or
what do they call it? Yeah, they don't do that.
That's a soccer thing, I guess.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All right, Well, speaking of scoring, do you have any
Morris sports things or oh yeah, there's some stuff in
here about cricket. But yeah, I know you didn't care
about that. Why won't you tell us the bug news? Well?
What about this? Uh, Paul bear Bryant, everybody just called him.
Bear Bryant into his career with the University of Alabama
with three hundred and twenty three wins on this date
in nineteen two. Oh, that was a big thing. That
(14:03):
is exciting. Okay, so then there's that. Yeah, no, I
guess that's about That's about it, all right. I want
to show you guys something. What do you got.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm gonna put something up on the screen over here
for everybody to take a ganderette in Florida, there's a
congresswoman named Sheila Sherphillis McCormick and Sheila. I'm gonna put
this on the screen. We're live streaming on the internet.
For those that haven't seen, uh.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You should put that on the internet. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We're looking at a photo right now of a congresswoman
and it's a seemingly innocent photo that she decided to
post for Christmas. Merry Christmas from Florida District twenty. Here
is your congresswoman. That's Sheila, not Sheila Jackson Leane. But
she is a black lady, but different black lady. Oh,
completely different, way different. And Sheila's in a little trouble
right now. Sheila's in trouble because she took money that
(14:53):
was intended for FEMA and she spent it on a
one hundred and nine thousand dollars ring.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
What Yeah, one hundred and nine thousand one ring that's
a big diamond.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Well, she's in trouble for this already. This is already
a news story. So when she posted the photo of
herself for Christmas. In the original picture, you know, it's
kind of a famous picture. It's her congressional photo. She's
wearing the ring, she had them photoshop the ring out
of the picture.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
For her Christmas photo. Okay, yeah, and denies all charges
the wrong doing obviously, right.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So she posted this on X and X decided it
to require a community note, you know, like fact checkers note.
It says, this portrait of Representative sher Phyllis McCormick has
been altered to remove a ring off of her left
hand that she bought using one hundred and nine thousand
dollars in stolen FEMA fence.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Okay, I'm glad they clarified that.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So the ring wasn't worth one hundred nine thousand dollars,
It was just one of the things that she bought. Okay,
that makes more sense, Yeah, because how what would a ring?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
There's no way a ring could cost that much money. Ow,
I mean, but probably you know, not in that regard.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Okay, fine, that jewelry people stole from the louver, excuse me,
louvery earlier this year, but not a normal person's ring.
Nobody needs one hundred and nine thousand dollars ring, thank you. Yeah,
it's al Shabab needs that. Somalia has got to send
it to him. The Somalian Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Guy No described the Somalis to me the other day,
and it was wrong, but it did make me laugh,
and and not to you know, be a racist or anything,
but to make people laugh. I thought it was funny
when he described these Somalis. Why is it that every
man who is a you know, every Somalian man is
(16:44):
extremely skinny and has a head shaped like a light bulb.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, it's good, so fun Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's what I saw that movie where they took Tom
Hanks boat away from him.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Huh oh yeah, I did see that. Yeah, Forrest Gump.
That's a good movie. That's what they all look like.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, like like Lieutenant Dana, I agree. We got an
email from Ray who is actually taking up for you, Kenny.
Oh thank you, he said. I know you got a
lot of listeners out there laughing at Kenny and his
flat tire problem, but I have actually seen this myself.
He says, I have actually seen guys who have had
their truck or car they had to call and get
(17:22):
it towed because the battery was dead in their keyfob.
In the key fob. Now that's sad.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
See, I would have I would have changed the tire.
I didn't have the option because I never the.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Battery and your fob too, you know, or you could
just undo the key part of it and use it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But here's the part we keep leaving out of the story.
My car comes with free roadside assistance. It's free, and
it's very quick. They're quick, they're efficient, they're there right away.
And he wanted to tow the car, and I was like,
wouldn't it be easier to just, you know, a spare,
give me a spare. He's like, I don't have a spare.
I was like, how about you know fixed, you know,
can patch it. He's like, it can't be patched. I
(18:01):
was like, all right, so take the whole car. He
takes the whole car.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Now, I'm guessing, as embarrassing as this is to you,
can he that it's actually a good thing for a
lot of our listeners. Daniel is one of our many
and he said, don't feel bad, man, I bought a
Jeep renegade, didn't realize it didn't have a spare. Jeep
didn't have a until I needed it, all right. Jeep's
famous for having a spare by the kind of Jeep
(18:26):
that has a spare tire on the back, I know,
of the Jeep. That's how you'll know you got one.
So how many people you think at some point today
are probably gonna, you know, maybe check, look around, see
if anybody's looking. Maybe check and see if you've got
a fairly new car and you've never noticed checks. You
(18:48):
might not have a spare either, because that's something they're
leaving out nowadays. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I own another car from the same manufacturer that is
one year older than the car I just bought. I
have two cars, and my other car has a spare.
I was like, so, wait a second. In the year
that I bought this car, that's when the manufacturers quit
do in spares.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, what are the odds of that? And I would imagine,
and I don't know because I don't own one myself,
but I would imagine these evs probably don't have spares
because of the weight, right, they want to make it
as light as possible, so the battery lasts a good
long while. And for the record, I don't have an EV.
I'm a man. I stand up to pee. I don't
(19:27):
have an EV.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Hey, we haven't talked about this yet, but this is
a pretty big news story. We probably should have gotten
new two offers about the war no word war. Okay, yeah,
but the Education Department is going to start garnishing the
wages of student loan borrowers who are in default. Critics
of the garnishment action say many student loan borrowers are
already facing financial burdens.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I get it, but you still have to pay your bills.
It doesn't do you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The Trump administration said they're simplifying the Education Department and
helping to curb rising tuition costs. You do have to
pay your student loans. Couldn't you claim you were Somalian?
That's different. Obviously Somalians don't have to pay for anything.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well, what if I was just like part Somalian? Is
it kind of like being part Indian? How much do
you have to have forere you get casino money? What
if I stood next to a Somalian guy on a train,
once does that come? That's your count? Also listen to this.
Do you have his hand in your pocket? I got
one hand in my pod.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Do you remember when the whole banking system almost crashed
when Bill Clinton's sub prime mortgage Bill Clinton's subc plme
prime mortgage disaster caught up to us in two thousand
and eight. For those that don't remember this, there was
a you know, our younger listeners, there was a big
financial crash right as Obama was taking office, and it
was because not the previous administration, but two administrations earlier.
(20:43):
Bill Clinton had come up with this idea where they
were going to bully the banks into giving out loans
to people that had no business getting loans because loans
were racist.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Does everyone remember this? Yes? All right?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It turned out that loaning hundreds of thousands of dollars
to people with shoddy credit history wasn't sustainable. And you
think we would have learned that lesson, You'd be wrong.
Freddie Mack and Fannie May are lowering credit requirements for
mortgages to reach subprime borrowers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
They made a number of movies about the two thousand
and eight financial crisis, some of them kind of help
explain how it worked or how it didn't work in
the long run. One called margin call. I remember specifically.
It's complicated, but in the movie they kind of walk
you through it how that worked, and believe it or not,
(21:32):
we're going to repeat that again. Boy, I certainly think so.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, in twenty twenty six. Starting at twenty twenty six,
our two lending giants are once more relaxing their lending
standards below a credit score of six twenty, So pretty soon,
if you have no business getting a loan, you'll be
able to get one to buy a house you probably
shouldn't be living in because you don't have the money.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The movie The Big Short in twenty fifteen, if you
were confused about the housing crisis, they show you how
it happened. The movie Hell or High Water, well, it
was a movie about bankropping and stuff, but it was
based on the financial crisis. The Town, Remember the Town
with Jeremy Rinn and Ben Affleck, was a really good
(22:14):
movie set in Bathston, and that was about the aftermath
of the banking collapse. A lot of these movies that
had to do with that.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
By the way, people in my generation and lower will
often make this argument and younger that people your age
were able to get bank loans and buy affordable houses,
and it's not fair we can't do that anymore. Yeah,
no fair man, I heard this argument right. But if
you ever thought about how thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years
ago the houses we were building in this country were
(22:46):
so much smaller than the new houses.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There's no small new houses.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All new houses have high ceilings and big kitchens and
spacious bathrooms and walk in closets.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You were going to an old bungalow. They don't have
any of that stuff. I have a walk in closet,
and in fact, girl from Waco gets in there, she's
gonna tear a wall down, for sure. She always wants
to tear a wall down. She has no idea if
that's holding up the whole house or not. She don't care. Well.
Her husband will figure that out because it's demo day,
you know. Yeah, but he has to do what she
tells him.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, and that's not even the worst thing to happen
in Waco. How dare you?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Walton M. Johnson
Before we get to celebrity birthdays, I have to explain
what I just saw during commercial break?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
What did you see? Was it a space alien?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I had forgotten that Pussy Riot was even a thing,
that the band Pussy Riot was a Russian punk all
female girl.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Band, all female ol girl band. Huh? And on still
is it? Still is that? And they still exist?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
The country of Russia, Vladimir Putin's still there, has just
declared them to be an extremist group. Kind of like,
how here in Texas we just declared care to be
an extremist ruh huh?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Or any of the girls from the Riot or any
of them maybe a Ukrainian have Ukraine family members maybe
or anything like that. Well, that's the thing. They're all
Russian girls. Yeah, they all kind of just blend in together,
you know.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And so I looked them up. I was like, what
happened with Pussy Riot? They still make music, They still
have music coming out. The music they make is in English, right,
because that's the way to fire up a Russian.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Revolution, that's the way to make money.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And I just watched this music video for a song
they did call police State, and in the music video
they show Trump having a meeting with Putin, and the
way they depict it, they try to make it look
like Trump is Putin's buddy and he's a bad guy.
And I wonder if they don't know that Trump has
been giving billions of dollars to Ukraine so they could
(01:17):
defend themselves against Rashia.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
They've got to know that. I mean, third graders in
America know that. I was like, well, hang on a
second here, if Trump we don't know what their news
allows them to know over there? You hate Trump?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I get that, and you hate Putin obviously because the
music video makes it obvious you.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Really hate Putin.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And but you also are trying to paint the picture
here that Trump and Putin are aligned even though Trump
is funding the opposition military against Putin. M Am, I
painting a picture care clearly enough.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
But it makes any sense? Well, they are girls. It
kind of proves another point we've been making though. Women
just don't really get this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Like why help Ukraine if we don't even get credit
for it? We don't even get credit for it? Well credit?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, yeah, okay, well, yes, what Kenny has done everything
he can to help Ukraine defeat Putin and the terrible
Russian commis. So there, how about you feel better? Are
they communists or anything something else? Now? Now, they're both
our enemies basically, I mean, come on, let's face it, Yeah,
sick to one half a dozen another? You know who
(02:20):
don't like it when both of your enemies fight each other?
Right know, that's a good time right there.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The thing I ain't even understand about Ussia is all
the women are very beautiful, but they sound like they're
evil and on it.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
All beautiful most Russian, most Russian ones that get on camera,
you know. Uh, Russia's trying to keep that whole Uh
what does it called them baboushkas? Uh, They're trying to
keep them hidding, you know, them old Russian grandma looking
types with like a ward on the end of the chin,
you know, with a hair growing out of it and stuff.
I don't they hide that. I don't see them as often. No,
(02:51):
they hide that. But then all the men look like
they just got stung by a beer. Are you okay,
mister Kenny? It does seem like we're ignoring something vital
to the show. All right. Celebrity birthday time. Happy birthday
to Vladimir Putin. No No, No.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
John Voight, Angelina Joey's dad. Well yes, technically John Voight
is he still alive? Turns eighty seven and still with

see that, that's what happened. Now, Jude Law makes movies.
Mikai Pfeiffer turned fifty one today. Wow, he's older than
I would have thought. He's fifty one. Yeah, you don't
even know who he is.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh he's the black guy. Well, oh yeah, he's the
black guy. When you said makayak, immediately thought a Caulkin. No,
that's McCauley. Diego Luna turns forty six. Not sure if
you know who that is. Alison Bree forty three, married
to Dave Franco. Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay? Also Ivonne Elleman singer seventy four, comedian, well sort of,
Paula Poundstone sixty six today. I'm not sure if you're
familiar with her comedy so to speak. And didn't she
have a scandal of sorts?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I believe she did, yes, involving young boys or something,
so I don't remember exactly something like that.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't know either. Yeah, I could be explaining herun
to see Jason Gould, the actor fifty nine that we
talked about these people last week or two weeks ago.
Director one of the Wakowski brothers who are now sisters,
Lily Wakowski, who brought us the Matrix, among other things.
She and her former brother now sister both decided to
(05:03):
become women, and they did so. Are they rarely? To
both of them? They're both trands, Yeah, and both of
them men straight. Now, that's crazy. Juitlaw I mentioned Jute Law,
Maria Dezia, Orange Is and New Blacks fifty one. Anybody
else here you know? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
In June two thousand and one, Paula Poundstone was arrested
in California, Santa Monica, charged with three felony counts of
committing leude acts upon a child under four it was
a girl. What under fourteen I'm sorry, under fourteen one
kund of child in endangerment involving multiple children. The alleged
victims were among her three adopted kids and two foster kids.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Initially pleaded not guilty, accepted a plea deal.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
We're still talking about Paula Poundstone.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, I just want to make sure if we're gonna,
if we're gonna accuse himone to be in a Petter
ass on the radio, we better get the details right.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's also Mary Tyler Moore's birthday. Okay, I don't think
she's with us anymore. I don't know for a fact.
Brigitte Bardeaux is not. But it's not her birthday. And
isn't this a timely one of those coincidences that happens
here at the show a lot today? Charles good Year's birthday.
Huh of the tire fame Goodyear tires. Yeah, invented like
(06:23):
tires or something. Well, that's exciting. And you had the
tire problem this morning. That is a birthday. That is
a weird coincidence. You got one of those things that
happens a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That is really something. Boy, I'll tell you how shocking.
That is shocking news.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Try and move along. Do the day in history thing.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, Today in history probably brought to you by law Tigers.
You forget about law Tigers. Of course they didn't forget
about you. If you ride a motorcycle, you want to
keep that number hand. You want eight hundred all Tigers.
Amen to that one, eight hundred law Tigers Orlowtigers dot com.
If you get into a motorcycle accident on International Cello Day,
TikTok day, not the social media. This is about your
to do list, get it done. Or a box sticking
(07:03):
that's almost end of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Or pepper Pot Day. What is that like a Thailand dictator? Yeah,
it's a dish. I think it's C fourteen on the menu.
I thought pepper Pot was the name of a general
for Vietnam. Hey, it looks like fun here. In fifteen
oh eight, the Portuguese attacked, pillaged, and burned a Muslim
city Dabool or something like that. Oh you know they
(07:26):
well they were probably begging for it. Sure you know
how they are the Portuguese today. In seventeen seventy eight,
the British captured Savannah, Georgia. What to do with it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Uh, probably eventually gave it back, Probably made him eat
like mushy peas and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm gonna give way back again. Fifteen fifty eight, Charles
the fifth King of Spain and King of the Holy
Roman and the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. That
sounds like an R and B group was buried. What's
that the Holy Roman Emperors. Oh yeah, that'd be a
good name for a band.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Today, in eighteen forty five, we'reing number twenty eight through
a publics of Texas enters the United States.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I was wondering if y'all are gonna get around of
that today.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Today in eighteen forty nine, gas state, were we number
twenty eight?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yay?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Today in eighteen forty nine, gas lighting is installed in
the White House. So that's the thing now, the gas
lighting us every day now, Man, I hate when women
use that term. He's gaslighting me. What is he doing?
He's trying to convince me he's not a monster. Well,
why is he a monster? He expects me to be
ready to go on time? That's your use to the
word gas lighting that Today in eighteen fifty one, the
(08:30):
first YMCA opened in the USA and the Old South
Church in Boston.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
The old Trail of tears was on this eighteen thirty five,
some treaty signed government represent Cherokee, Cherokee people, Cherokee anyway,
seating all Cherokee lands east of the Mississippi River to
the United States of America. And y'all, y'all got gone, get,
go and get And that was the trail of tears
(08:55):
as they all hitted for Oklahoma. I guess they'd heard
about Oklahoma and they cried all all the way to it.
I know that's what I heard too. They must really
hate the Flaming Lips. They had no idea later they
would be supporting a really great college softball team.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I'm sure that made him feel better today. In nineteen
oh two, Scott Choplin copyrights The Entertainer and a few
other compositions Good Times.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
This isn't my favorite onhold music. Were bad things for Indians.
The massacre the Wounded Knee. Oh, I thought this was
about the food. Eighteen ninety US seventh Cavalry Regiment killed
more than two hundred captive Lakota at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.
They're still not over it, by the way, can't blame them.
(09:42):
You know what, it's just really rude. You know what
I was just thinking about. You know how liberals will
always tell you we need more globalism and diversity, and
you ask them why, and what's the first thing? They
always say? Food? The food.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They're like, oh, go to a diverse city. There's so
many restaurants. Oh, the spices and the flavor. But then
you notice how there's no Native American restauran. What are
the liberals unintentionally telling us.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Wait, there's no Native American Like, what would they serve?
Just maze exactly. That's pretty much all I had, right,
But they must have had something. Well, they ate a
lot of venison.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I would imagine there's no restaurant where you could go
get you know, maize and venison they don't have.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Is that the liberals kind of unintelligent, unintentionally telling us
that Native American culture is not that great.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
M I mean, think about it there. I mean I
think they're wrong. I think their culture was fantastic. Me too.
But these liberals, oh they are rude.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, they celebrate the Somalian restaurant, the Ethiopian restaurant, the
Guyrish restaurant. But you never hear them celebrating a Native
American restaurant. Today, in nineteen forty London is devastated by
a German air raid.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh really, the Germans. I don't know if you're a
student of history or not, but yeah, back in those days,
apparently the Germans were just hard to get along with,
and nowadays they're so much better.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Today, in nineteen sixty five, a Christmas truce in Vietnam
is President Johnson works to get both sides to the
peace talks. So that was today and today. In nineteen
seventy two, the last issue of Life magazine was published.
It was a double issue the year in pictures.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Ooh, how exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Today, in nineteen eighty nine, Canada is the first nation
to ban smoking on all domestic air flights Losers, bo Boy,
And finally today, in nineteen ninety seven, Hong Kong begins
a massive slaughter of all its chickens due to the
bird flu outbreak. Was that kind of like mad cow disease?
All the birds were eating each other, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So if they bought the ground up birds gave it
to him and the bird seed, I'd eat it. Well,
yeah you will, Yeah, yeah, let's all go to the lobby.
Let's all go to the lobby. Let's all go to
the lobby to get ourselves d Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
I believe it is im part of upon me as
(11:56):
the sports director for the last couple of days of
the year to bring up this day in history in sports. Okay, oh,
we didn't know we did that. Tom Brady fans would
like you to know that it was on this day
in two thousand and seven that Tom Brady set a
record for the NFL at that time and throwing his
fiftieth touchdown pass and the New England Patriots became the
(12:17):
first team in NFL history to finish the regular season
as sixteen and oh undefeated sixteen games. But yeah, the
Miami Dolphins has already done. It was in seventy two
they went undefeated all the way through the playoffs to
win the championship playoffs. Yeah. See, the difference is they
(12:38):
only played fourteen games in a regular season back then,
so obviously they couldn't have finished sixteen and oh at
the end of the regular season because they didn't play
sixteen games. Well, in two thousand and seven, they did
play sixteen games, and the Patriots went undefeated through that time,
but then they didn't go undefeated through the playoffs, so
(12:58):
that really hard the end of the season for Tom Brady.
What a shame that. That's too bad. Other exciting sports
developments that happened back in the day. No, y'all don't
care about the United Negro College. Hun do you'll? No?
I care? I care. It's important. That's important to me. Yeah,
(13:21):
why what about him? Wayne? Wayne Gretzky scored a NHL
career thirty second hat trick. What about it is? And
that was like a big thing.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Three goals I think are three points? What scores or
what do they call it? Yeah, they don't do that.
That's a soccer thing, I guess.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All right, Well, speaking of scoring, do you have any
Morris sports things or oh yeah, there's some stuff in
here about cricket. But yeah, I know you didn't care
about that. Why won't you tell us the bug news? Well?
What about this? Uh, Paul bear Bryant, everybody just called him.
Bear Bryant into his career with the University of Alabama
with three hundred and twenty three wins on this date
in nineteen two. Oh, that was a big thing. That
(14:03):
is exciting. Okay, so then there's that. Yeah, no, I
guess that's about That's about it, all right. I want
to show you guys something. What do you got.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm gonna put something up on the screen over here
for everybody to take a ganderette in Florida, there's a
congresswoman named Sheila Sherphillis McCormick and Sheila. I'm gonna put
this on the screen. We're live streaming on the internet.
For those that haven't seen, uh.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You should put that on the internet. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We're looking at a photo right now of a congresswoman
and it's a seemingly innocent photo that she decided to
post for Christmas. Merry Christmas from Florida District twenty. Here
is your congresswoman. That's Sheila, not Sheila Jackson Leane. But
she is a black lady, but different black lady. Oh,
completely different, way different. And Sheila's in a little trouble
right now. Sheila's in trouble because she took money that
(14:53):
was intended for FEMA and she spent it on a
one hundred and nine thousand dollars ring.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
What Yeah, one hundred and nine thousand one ring that's
a big diamond.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Well, she's in trouble for this already. This is already
a news story. So when she posted the photo of
herself for Christmas. In the original picture, you know, it's
kind of a famous picture. It's her congressional photo. She's
wearing the ring, she had them photoshop the ring out
of the picture.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
For her Christmas photo. Okay, yeah, and denies all charges
the wrong doing obviously, right.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So she posted this on X and X decided it
to require a community note, you know, like fact checkers note.
It says, this portrait of Representative sher Phyllis McCormick has
been altered to remove a ring off of her left
hand that she bought using one hundred and nine thousand
dollars in stolen FEMA fence.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Okay, I'm glad they clarified that.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So the ring wasn't worth one hundred nine thousand dollars,
It was just one of the things that she bought. Okay,
that makes more sense, Yeah, because how what would a ring?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
There's no way a ring could cost that much money. Ow,
I mean, but probably you know, not in that regard.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Okay, fine, that jewelry people stole from the louver, excuse me,
louvery earlier this year, but not a normal person's ring.
Nobody needs one hundred and nine thousand dollars ring, thank you. Yeah,
it's al Shabab needs that. Somalia has got to send
it to him. The Somalian Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Guy No described the Somalis to me the other day,
and it was wrong, but it did make me laugh,
and and not to you know, be a racist or anything,
but to make people laugh. I thought it was funny
when he described these Somalis. Why is it that every
man who is a you know, every Somalian man is
(16:44):
extremely skinny and has a head shaped like a light bulb.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, it's good, so fun Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's what I saw that movie where they took Tom
Hanks boat away from him.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Huh oh yeah, I did see that. Yeah, Forrest Gump.
That's a good movie. That's what they all look like.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, like like Lieutenant Dana, I agree. We got an
email from Ray who is actually taking up for you, Kenny.
Oh thank you, he said. I know you got a
lot of listeners out there laughing at Kenny and his
flat tire problem, but I have actually seen this myself.
He says, I have actually seen guys who have had
their truck or car they had to call and get
(17:22):
it towed because the battery was dead in their keyfob.
In the key fob. Now that's sad.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
See, I would have I would have changed the tire.
I didn't have the option because I never the.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Battery and your fob too, you know, or you could
just undo the key part of it and use it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But here's the part we keep leaving out of the story.
My car comes with free roadside assistance. It's free, and
it's very quick. They're quick, they're efficient, they're there right away.
And he wanted to tow the car, and I was like,
wouldn't it be easier to just, you know, a spare,
give me a spare. He's like, I don't have a spare.
I was like, how about you know fixed, you know,
can patch it. He's like, it can't be patched. I
(18:01):
was like, all right, so take the whole car. He
takes the whole car.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Now, I'm guessing, as embarrassing as this is to you,
can he that it's actually a good thing for a
lot of our listeners. Daniel is one of our many
and he said, don't feel bad, man, I bought a
Jeep renegade, didn't realize it didn't have a spare. Jeep
didn't have a until I needed it, all right. Jeep's
famous for having a spare by the kind of Jeep
(18:26):
that has a spare tire on the back, I know,
of the Jeep. That's how you'll know you got one.
So how many people you think at some point today
are probably gonna, you know, maybe check, look around, see
if anybody's looking. Maybe check and see if you've got
a fairly new car and you've never noticed checks. You
(18:48):
might not have a spare either, because that's something they're
leaving out nowadays. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I own another car from the same manufacturer that is
one year older than the car I just bought. I
have two cars, and my other car has a spare.
I was like, so, wait a second. In the year
that I bought this car, that's when the manufacturers quit
do in spares.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, what are the odds of that? And I would imagine,
and I don't know because I don't own one myself,
but I would imagine these evs probably don't have spares
because of the weight, right, they want to make it
as light as possible, so the battery lasts a good
long while. And for the record, I don't have an EV.
I'm a man. I stand up to pee. I don't
(19:27):
have an EV.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Hey, we haven't talked about this yet, but this is
a pretty big news story. We probably should have gotten
new two offers about the war no word war. Okay, yeah,
but the Education Department is going to start garnishing the
wages of student loan borrowers who are in default. Critics
of the garnishment action say many student loan borrowers are
already facing financial burdens.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I get it, but you still have to pay your bills.
It doesn't do you.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The Trump administration said they're simplifying the Education Department and
helping to curb rising tuition costs. You do have to
pay your student loans. Couldn't you claim you were Somalian?
That's different. Obviously Somalians don't have to pay for anything.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well, what if I was just like part Somalian? Is
it kind of like being part Indian? How much do
you have to have forere you get casino money? What
if I stood next to a Somalian guy on a train,
once does that come? That's your count? Also listen to this.
Do you have his hand in your pocket? I got
one hand in my pod.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Do you remember when the whole banking system almost crashed
when Bill Clinton's sub prime mortgage Bill Clinton's subc plme
prime mortgage disaster caught up to us in two thousand
and eight. For those that don't remember this, there was
a you know, our younger listeners, there was a big
financial crash right as Obama was taking office, and it
was because not the previous administration, but two administrations earlier.
(20:43):
Bill Clinton had come up with this idea where they
were going to bully the banks into giving out loans
to people that had no business getting loans because loans
were racist.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Does everyone remember this? Yes? All right?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It turned out that loaning hundreds of thousands of dollars
to people with shoddy credit history wasn't sustainable. And you
think we would have learned that lesson, You'd be wrong.
Freddie Mack and Fannie May are lowering credit requirements for
mortgages to reach subprime borrowers.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
They made a number of movies about the two thousand
and eight financial crisis, some of them kind of help
explain how it worked or how it didn't work in
the long run. One called margin call. I remember specifically.
It's complicated, but in the movie they kind of walk
you through it how that worked, and believe it or not,
(21:32):
we're going to repeat that again. Boy, I certainly think so.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, in twenty twenty six. Starting at twenty twenty six,
our two lending giants are once more relaxing their lending
standards below a credit score of six twenty, So pretty soon,
if you have no business getting a loan, you'll be
able to get one to buy a house you probably
shouldn't be living in because you don't have the money.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The movie The Big Short in twenty fifteen, if you
were confused about the housing crisis, they show you how
it happened. The movie Hell or High Water, well, it
was a movie about bankropping and stuff, but it was
based on the financial crisis. The Town, Remember the Town
with Jeremy Rinn and Ben Affleck, was a really good
(22:14):
movie set in Bathston, and that was about the aftermath
of the banking collapse. A lot of these movies that
had to do with that.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
By the way, people in my generation and lower will
often make this argument and younger that people your age
were able to get bank loans and buy affordable houses,
and it's not fair we can't do that anymore. Yeah,
no fair man, I heard this argument right. But if
you ever thought about how thirty, forty, fifty, sixty years
ago the houses we were building in this country were
(22:46):
so much smaller than the new houses.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There's no small new houses.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All new houses have high ceilings and big kitchens and
spacious bathrooms and walk in closets.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You were going to an old bungalow. They don't have
any of that stuff. I have a walk in closet,
and in fact, girl from Waco gets in there, she's
gonna tear a wall down, for sure. She always wants
to tear a wall down. She has no idea if
that's holding up the whole house or not. She don't care. Well.
Her husband will figure that out because it's demo day,
you know. Yeah, but he has to do what she
tells him.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, and that's not even the worst thing to happen
in Waco. How dare you?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
