Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tavy quons. Yeah, what do you say? I'm all about that?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Is it a year in review show? Or is it
Kwanza Night five? Yeah, it's all of that and more. Besides, Wow,
this is a really exciting broadcast today. It's festive, yeah
for sure, and it's one of the only things on
the radio right now that's not a rerun.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
So that's the truth.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well, Tomorrow's a holiday, and then Thursdays obviously a holiday.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So what would be the point of being working on Friday?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I mean, all these people that get Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday off, you want to show up for Friday, like
the day after Thanksgiving. I know there's people that have
to work the day after Thankgiving, but that sucks.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, we have to work on Friday. We just won't
be on the radio because we'll be traveling for a
work related day. There's a work related trip. But don't worry.
It'll benefit you the listener indirectly, I mean barely at all, but.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Sort of sort of, it benefits everybody. I found this.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Old interview involving Carla Wyant, the Harris County treasurer who
just got arrested for carburg.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Oh yeah, people are fascinated by this woman. She's in
charge of the money in Harris County, but she decided
to go out and burglarize an automobile or two. I
don't know how many she got caught on one, but
was it her first time?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
You think she was elected on a promise to be
a role model for people of color.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Those are exact quotes from her. What she said.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, my view of success in this particular role is
to be a role model for those people who are
coming behind me.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
This was doctor Carlo Whyatt's speaking on KPRC twos shortly after.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Did she say people were coming behind her? Nobody? Come on, guys,
you're well, you're just not paying attention.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well, I was waiting for her to say people of color,
but then it was actually say that. Yeah, it got
cut off by the news anchor here. I was just
reading what it said on the street.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
My view of success in this particular role is to
be a role model for those people who are coming
behind me.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
This was doctor Carlo Whyatt's speaking on KPRC two Shortly
after get elected as Harris County Treasurer. She spoke on
what success would look like during her term. But on Saturday,
Houston police arrested and charged doctor Wyatt for trying to
break into someone else's car. No one answered the door
when we fied knocking on doctor Wyatt's door on Monday.

(02:16):
We also tried going to her office he slocked, court
documents reveal. In December of twenty twenty three, doctor Wyatt
was also arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
All right, I'm gonna pauseit it right here, the local
NBC news affiliate. That's what we're listening to. When she
was doing good, she was interviewed by a black person
on a talk boy, on a talk show that only
features black people of court. But then when she got
into trouble, they sent an Asian reporter.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Asian you see.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Now this isn't me telling you this, but I have
been told by a lot of other people that the
Asian community, uh huh and the African American community don't
always get along real well. Now, who will just say
it's so like to I think you said it once
the internet brilliant in all Asians.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Somebody says it's fine. But you know, some of them
Koreans that got attitude, what.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
They call them Ablazians, right, they're mixed they're usually very pretty,
you know, very very much.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Anyway, look, wait, we don't see color, at least we
didn't want to, and then we were told to see
color by democrats and liberals. I was trying my whole
life not to see color, and then they started telling
me to see color. And as soon as we started
looking for color, it immediately pointed out things that felt racist.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
That seemed wrong, but they said it's okay anyway.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
So this woman's in trouble here and not much of
her role model for whites or pocs. I don't think
anybody who's benefiting from her behavior act better.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Lady in the Mews car it was Was it a
random car? Total stranger? Was she trying to break into
somebody's car that she knew?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Was she? Was she trying to get something of hers back?
You know?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I mean there's a lot of scenarios here where you
could say, oh, well, maybe that's not so bad. I
agree with that, but the news reports say very very little.
We won't know till Friday when she has a court here.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Right in the meantime, two helicopters crashed midair in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Remember last year about this time, we had drones flying
over Jersey. That was a big story. They didn't know
where the drones were coming from, who was flying them,
what they were doing, But there was drones. And now
we've got helicopters crashing into each other over the same
air space.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
What's open that?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
You know how crazy that is is. Imagine all the
empty space up there above your head. It's not like
the highway where you just got to be right next
to all the other cars.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
There's a lot of empty space up, there's up and.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Down, there's side to side, there's just it's you know, oh,
multi dimensional, and yet they still seem to just slab
into each other.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
The Federal Aviation Administrative Administration described the crash as a
midair collision between an Enstrom F twenty eight A helicopter
and an Mstrom two to eighty C helicopter.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Now, don't you have a family member who has warned
us about helicopter And.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I have a family member who doesn't like to ride
in a helicopter, and he racist motorcycles and he designed
helicopters for a living, and.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
That's why he knows they're dangerous.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
But the thing he always points out to me is
usually when there's a helicopter crash. It's one of those
cheap Bell It's not not all Bell helicopters are cheap,
but Bell Helicopter Company makes a couple of helicopters that
are relatively inexpensive enough that average people can afford to
buy them. And when you hear about helicopter crashes, it's
usually one of those.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Makes you want to fly in one of them new
fancy fly and automobiles, don't it. I've seen them. You know,
they'll show you the proto types. I saw that too.
Looks like fun until somebody else comes flying along. You
know how people are. They can't act right.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Anyway, Sal Salipino is the owner of a cafe near
the place where this helicopter crash just happened in New Jersey.
And you're probably thinking, wait, a Jersey guy named Sal Salipino.
That's so stereotypical. Anyway, he said the pilots were regulars
at the restaurant. They'd often have breakfast together. He said
he and other customers watched the helicopters take off, before
one begins and spiraling downward, followed by.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
The other, so sounds like it was the pilot's fault. Yeah,
sad news, very sad.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
When Trump first took office, wasn't there a couple of
incidents with plane crashes a helicopter hitting a plane or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
They immediately blamed Trump, right, and it didn't have anything
to do with Trump or you know.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well the Transportation secretary who was picked by Trump, like
Sean Duffy. But remember they didn't want to blame the
transportation secretary back when all those trains were having all
those problems during the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
What trains. Yeah, no, we don't know anything about all that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Anyway, So with all that being said, uh, be careful
if you get in a helicopter, kids, especially if it's
two guys flying the helicopter who often eat breakfast together.
That's not a good sign. They eat breakfast together. Don't
trust them. No dinner and lunch, that's total different. Sure, yeah,
that's completely fine. More Year in review coming up in

(06:59):
just a little bit. But in the meantime, you and
I both know football is happening, right.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I never did congratulate the dirty birds, that's what you know.
Saints fans called the Atlanta Falcons. Not everybody think that
you know when they playing the same sure, and that's
that's gonna be coming up.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
But do we got time for a quickie here? Yeah,
we do got time sports your parts.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
That's brought to you by Mike Lindell, the fraud Finder
godamipellow dot com Today promo code w J.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
They got the New Year's Day sale, the New Year's
Sales happening. Lots of great deals going on at my
pellow dot com promo code w J.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Atlanta stunned. That's the only word they can use.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
That stunned Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football twenty
seven to twenty folk. And it looked like the Rams
didn't have anything to play for. It looked like they
was unmotivated, possibly because they didn't have anything to play for,
and it's really unmotivated. But that's how that went down.
Huh all right, Well, good for Atlanta. You know that's

(07:58):
that's your Monday Night for story. Now Week eighteen, that's
last week of NFL football coming up, and the Saints
get to travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons
this coming Sunday in the New year.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
And then that's all she wrote for the Saints for
the season.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
They are improving and I think this is giving a
lot of people hope for next season as the Saints
have already jumped up to six and ten. Now, you know,
it looked like for a while they wasn't gonna get
but maybe two, and now they pushed themselves out of
the you know, the draft choices, looks like the Las
Vegas Raiders are gonna get that number one draft choice

(08:37):
because they really suck worse than the Jets or the
Titans even And.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
While we're on the topic here, you know, it's the
job of the sideline reporters to dig for interesting little
nuggets of information to add to a broadcast. NBC's Melissa
Stark found one on Sunday night, but it had more
to do with a player's wife. San Francisco forty nine
ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne hit an important trigger in
his contract during week week sixteen. Stark shared the news

(09:02):
to Bourne that he had hit the contract incentive five
hundred thousand dollars for gaining over five hundred yards and
explain why it was so crucial to the wide receiver.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I think I have some audios.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
Yeah, And Kendrick Bourne had himself a Payday last week
made five hundred thousand dollars by surpassing five hundred receiving yards.
He told me he was so excited to celebrate with
his teammates.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
He forgot to keep the ball.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
He's so happy to have gotten it.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
He said. He's glad it's.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Over because he never wants to create a distraction. But
it was perfect timing right before Christmas, because he said,
my wife, Vanessa is expensive. Well, so she was just
as happy as I was. Yes, Vanessa, when he.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Sold you out, Well, that's why she married a football player.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Probably works. Wow, I feel that and Waite particular, that's freedom.
That's America. That'd be Quons, Walton and Johnson.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
I did leave one thing out I wanted to get
to in the NFL news.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
What they have now is the Nobinese for the coming
up class of twenty twenty six Hall of Famers. And
there's a bunch of people this that they'll whittle it down.
They'll get down to like from fifteen, they'll get it
down to like, you know, seven.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
A couple of the names stood out. Maybe you've heard
of Drew Brees. I'm familiar.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, Drew Brees, quarterback he quarterback for the Saints if
you don't remember.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Apparently he also is a local business owner, but they
don't give you the Hall of Fame for that.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Drew Brees is a Florida Hall of Fame since it's
it's been you know, five years since he has retired. Now,
believe it or not, it's been that long. So we'll
see how that goes. Okay, Larry Fitzgerald, Frank Gore, big names.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
And then there's Eli Manning. No, no, I'm gonna have
to vote. No, you really don't like those Manning boys. No,
I don't have a problem with him.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Uh in general, you know, Peyton's funny Peyton, funny guy. Eli.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I think he should be disqualified from impossible hall of fame.
But I mentioned just because of those sub sandwich commercials
he does with the little Danny DeVito.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh, I just I just hate it. It's awful.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh, speaking of embarrassing commercials, how much do you think
they paid John Travolta to embarrass himself for those Santa
Claus commercials he did where he dances with a big
Santa Claus belly and he's selling some kind of I
don't know what a credit card thing.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Oh, what's in your wallet? That one? Whatever it is?
Those are awful.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay, the exact amount wasn't publicly disclosed, but I'm gonna
bet it's a lot of money because it's a bank,
Capital one, I think the bank, but that's it's part
of the Capitol one Christmas Cinematic Universe, a fun ongoing
series of ads.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
He was doing NFL Hall of Fame news. Well, you
got off to Eli Manning and we can't ignore that.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
You know, Belly d brought it up. He's got a
good point. Yeah, I got a good point. You know.
You know, if you wear a hat you can cover
that up. That's a funny one. Anyway. Anyway, what were
you saying, mister Ell? That's about it? A Hall of
Fame Class twenty two. Wait wait, wait, you're mad at
him for changing the subject, but you don't have anything
else to you all missed you owe Billy had an apology.

(12:10):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Come on, Billy, I didn't do anything wrong. You just
you just publicly roasted him in.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Front of Do you want me to mention all fifteen
people because you ain't never heard of most of them?

Speaker 2 (12:19):
You heard of Marshall Yandle Marshall Mathers. I've heard of Yonda.
That's probably an African guy.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
You don't know him.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
No, he played for the Baltimore Ravens. He a Baltimore man,
not really my team. So in February they'll have it
whittled all down and then they will make the official
announcement of who is up for enshrinement.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
That's what they do.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
They enshrine people in the Hall of Fame. So that's
that's big time right there.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
You ever look at how many businesses drew bree zones
around Louisiana.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Never look walk on sports pistro and bars, small Sliders,
a bunch of Jimmy John's, Duncan's former Duncan Donnuts, Happy's
Irish Pub. Ever Ball is in a side ball and
super food franchise stretch zone, The Pickler Title Boxing Club,
Really Surge Entertainment. Waiter is a smartphone app Mad Drops

(13:10):
Pickleball Club.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Drew Brees is not a waiter. No, he's just people's adult.
Maybe that was what he was doing now, No, he
just owned stuff him. Yeah, smart stuff to do him
good for him? Well, all right, do so? Drew Brees
Hall of Fame. But did he did he hire New
York City's first lesbian fire chiefs? No, he did not know.

(13:32):
The one person can make that claim was twenty.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Twenty five, the year when they finally passed the baton
from the old school Liberals to the Marxists in the
Democrat Party. I think it is because this isn't Pelosi's
party anymore. No, Chuck Schumer might be the leader, but
he's not the leader.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I mean, Jasmine Crockett, AOC's Zorhan.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Mom, Donnie Ilhan, Omar Rashida talib Oh.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
These people carry way more weight in that party than Pelosi.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
And if that continues, if that keeps up and none
of these people get in trouble for any other crimes,
nothing happens to him for what they've done, They're just
gonna keep doing it and worse, and we're gonna lose
this country. We're gonna lose this two hundred and fifty.
If we make it to July, we'll hit two fifty,
and that's probably.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
All we get.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Politicians rarely get arrested, and when they do, it's usually
only because they upset a Democrat like Rod Bogoyevitch first, just.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Thinking of him.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, he did a little bit of time, but it
wasn't anywhere near what he probably needed to do.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Well.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
He didn't do anything that bad, I don't think. But
what he did wrong was he wasn't aligned with the
new incoming Democrat President Obama. All he did was say
out loud what all politicians do. He had a Senate
seat he was gonna give to somebody, and he said,
let's make a deal. What can I get in exchange
for it? Isn't that what every politician does all the
time constantly. He just set it out loud when he

(14:52):
didn't know there were FBI microphones in the room. But
why were their FBI microphones in the room. Why were
they even there in the first place. It wasn't like
he'd previously committed a crime. They knew what they were doing.
That was why Trump parted him. I think Trump was
right to pardon. They set him up, that's how they knew.
But he's from that old school Democrat party. People like
that would never get elected today. Zorhan Mom Donnie to

(15:15):
be sworn in as New York City mayor below City
Hall Park in a private ceremony at a shuttered subway stop.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Wait, what a private ceremony? That's correct? Why is that
because you're not part of the well.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Because all pigs are equal, but some pigs are more
equal than others.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Animal Farm?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Did you know they're rewriting They're redoing Animal Farm for
Netflix or Amazon Prime or something. But it's going to
be about how capitalism's bad. Of course it is.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Isn't that crazy.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
It's a book about how communism's bad, but they're gonna
do a remake of it and make it about.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
How capitalism's bad. Do you say they you mean the communists? Correct?

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, of course they're not going to tell you communism
are bad. That's them.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
You're going to rewrite a book famously written about how
communism's a problem, and you're gonna leave out the communism.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Just how bad Las Vegas Raiders are. Mister just talked
about them getting the first draft choice because they've only
won a couple of games. They're Los Angeles. Las Vegas
Raiders are so bad? Now, how bad are they? Gangs
won't even use their logo anymore because nobody's scared of them.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh no, that's a So the gender pay gap is real,
but gender isn't real. Got it. Walton and Johnson Radio Network,

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
