Speaker 1 (00:00):
They say there's this island paradise.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's a secret hub where people from around the world
go to avoid Russian sanctions so they can do business
with the Kremlin.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The Maldives. You've probably heard of that. I've heard of them.
I didn't know all that business about it. I just
thought that's where they, you know, honeymooners go to have
those little huts that are built out over the ocean. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
In the Wall Street Journal, they make it sound like
they don't know what people are doing when they go
there and have business meetings.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
And I think I may have cracked the code. You're
on it now. You know what they're doing? Cocaine. What? Yeah,
I'm sure that's what they're doing. Oh, my God. Have
you heard about these? Should we send some troops?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
To go in and stop Russian oligarchs from snorting cocaine
with hookers?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I say let's invade the Maldives. Oh. I'm here. Can
we do that? It's about to work out better than
this Iranian mess. No, no, it's not going well at all, no.
In Iran today, Trump said, well, he said it yesterday,
that they are prolonging the inevitable. But he also said,
when are the Iranian people going to rise up and
(01:09):
fight back? And I don't know what he expects them
to do because they are completely unarmed and defenseless. So
how are they? I mean, yeah, if enough of them
decided to sacrifice their lives and just throw themselves at
the people that are in power right now, maybe it
(01:29):
would happen.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But I don't see it's going to change. Okay, I
think part of the problem actually goes back to the
other thing we were just talking about. Cocaine?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah. Well, isn't that always the problem? Maybe we just
need to drop a bunch of cocaine out for them
and it'll get them all riled up. It's a bold strategy.
Let's see how it works.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's right. From dodgeball. Iran sucks, right? It's a terrible place.
It's a desolate rubble of a mess. It looks like
the Roman ruins right now. I don't even think the
people that live there enjoy it, but they're told not to.
Happiness isn't on the table. So keep living your life.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And there's two things working against us here. One of
them is you're not at war with society so much
as an ideology.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
They're happy to die for their God. It's not like Venezuela.
But the other problem is Russia and China keep giving
them stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh, sure. Russia is helping them. I don't know if
they're just supplying them or if they're teaching them the
technology building weapons missiles that could blow up our ships
out in the gulf.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Imagine you're uh there's two slot machines and you're having
a contest with some guy to see who can get
the most hits on the slot machine and you um
you know you've got a pocket full of quarters you're
you know you're a cup of coffee you're wide awake
you can keep pulling that lever Until you run out
of quarters and you got to run and cash another
dollar or whatever. And the other guy you're competing with,
(02:54):
he didn't have any arms or legs.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
He's blind. His face, there's mortar shells that have blown
up in his face. This should be easy. But somebody
keeps handing him quarters. Uh-oh. Just popping them in there.
Who's that behind that guy? That's Chong and Igor. Yeah. Igor. Ivan. Ivan. Yeah, whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Anyway, so that's kind of the problem there, right? Yeah,
we're not just fighting Iran. And really, we're not fighting
them so much. They talked about the limited strikes that
they performed yesterday on Iran. And we don't target civilians
in this situation. Now, some civilians do get attacked and
blown up. But, you know, wrong place, wrong time. Missile
(03:33):
goes off. A little errant GPS may have screwed up
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Who knows? Because we're having trouble with GPS. I don't
know if you've heard about this or not. Self-driving cars
are veering off of the road now. But we don't
target civilians. And now in World War II, when the
Germans were flying over to England during the Blitzkrieg, they
were just randomly dropping bombs on cities everywhere. Civilians were
(03:59):
running for cover, hiding. And the same thing happening with Germany.
And you saw what happened in Japan. I think a
few civilians got caught up in that whole atomic blast thing.
But we're trying to not kill as many people as possible.
They don't care. The rules of engagement have really changed.
(04:20):
But the Iranian government, we could blow up an entire
city full of Iranian civilians, and the Iranian government could
care less. They kill their own people more than we do.
They behead them in the street. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So anyway, we'll solve that problem today on the show.
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll work this out. I'm sure
we'll get to the bottom of that one.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
In the Texas Senate race— Now that they're getting closer
and closer to Election Day, weirdly, people keep finding more
soundbites and videos of James Tallarico saying insane things. Now
that people have actually taken the time to go back
and look at the fact that he spent his career
being a representative for Austin and what a representative he was.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
This may shock you, but some of the things they're
finding that he said five or six years ago. seem
uh to to not be in line with the things
he's saying while trying to get elected today it's almost
like he's a hypocrite well.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
His people say he doesn't agree with those things anymore
no of course not he no longer thinks that um
white supremacy and capitalism are causing climate change and everybody
in the oil and gas industry should just accept the
fact that they soon won't have a job by the
way as ridiculous as that first statement was let's pick
apart that second statement for a He said that six
years ago. Does it look like the oil and gas
(05:38):
jobs are going away right now?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It doesn't look like way. No. What do you think
this whole Iran thing is about? Right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And finally, the Lindsay Clancy trial, three men. And I'm
just going to climb out on a limb here and
guess four women are trying to explain to two other women.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Or whatever it is. What is it? It's nine. It's not. No,
you're right. I did the math wrong. Yeah, you're right.
But anyway, yeah. Still, how many of those nine women
are really women? Because nobody knows what a woman is anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm guessing of the nine women that are in there.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
How many trans? Wow, that's the great question, right? Where
are they again? Massachusetts? Yeah. There's got to be a
tranny in there, too. I would think.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But, okay, so three men who never experienced postpartum depression.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I'm just speaking objectively here, at least trying to. We assume.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They're never going to understand these women outside the courthouse.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Neither am I. No man will, as far as I
can tell.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And the impression I get is that most women don't
get it either.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But there's a tiny group of women that do, and
there's an even tinier group of women that will just
agree with whatever the craziest person in the room is
saying because they want.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
To look like they're edgy. And they want to get
out of there. Well. I'm sure they're ready to go home.
You know, this arguing back and forth, four days now.
Today starts day fifth of the jury hearing. deliberations, which
is all a bunch of people just sitting in there saying, no,
you're wrong. No, you are. No, that's got to get old.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yesterday, I was speaking off the air with an expert
in these kinds of cases, somebody who's tried a lot
of cases involving violence against children, a lot of them.
And the person tells me it's always there's always that
one person on the jury who emphasis emphasizes they they
have empathy for the the the the psychopath. There's always
(07:26):
that one person in the room who's like, well, I
wanted to kill once, and I'm not a bad person.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I'm sorry. Repeat that again. Repeat it out loud. It's
a mess.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh, and today we're also giving away a Lamborghini on
the show, so stick around for that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oh, I've been told the Lamborghini deal has not been
officially inked yet. I mean, it could be first thing
this morning, but it's on hold. Okay, well, then how
about this?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Still a few tickets left for Operation Comedy Therapy on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You're giving those away?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, but.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh, okay. But they're in the glove compartment of the Lamborghini. Right.
If you get that. And they're dirt cheap, so get
them today. Good Wednesday morning, everyone. It'll be a fun show.
Fun show. Okay, let's go. It's showtime. Walton and Johnson
Radio Network. Yeah, we're up. Don't worry. Were you worried?
Up and at it. No worry here. No.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Greetings, radio arenas. Still here after all these years. Still
missing Italy, though, I got to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I mean, I'm glad I'm back at work and I'm
glad you're listening and all, but I'm still missing Italy.
It was a game changer of a vacation, I got
to tell you. It really was.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Last night, me and the lady were on the couch
and she says, let's get Cacio e Pepe.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Let's see, lady and I. Oh. Oh, you're one of those, huh? Yeah.
Last night, me girlfriend and me. Yeah, me and some
chick were huddling and cuddling on the couch, man.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
She says she wants Cacio a Pepe, and I was like,
all right, but lower your expectations.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, the DoorDash fee is going to be outrageous. Well,
that's Iran's fault, isn't it? Yes, it is. Today is
National Live Fearless Day, so go ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Stand up in the middle of Philadelphia with a bullhorn
and scream, the Eagles are gay.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Dallas Cowboys rule. That ought to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I got to think there's a handful of people in
Philadelphia that would go, yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And, you know, if you just stand in the middle
of the street with a bullhorn, chances are they'll attack
you even if you don't say anything. That's Philadelphia. That's all.
That's just kind of how Philadelphia is, isn't it? I've
never been. but i i hear things you know when
i'm in um public and you know i'm calming down
a little at this point in my life you know
me oh 10 years ago yeah i.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Used to be very happy to just engage with crazy
people in a public place.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You'd almost uh you know look for it or at
least not avoid it but and and mostly nowadays i'm
not like that anymore but once in a while when
i'm in a public place and I see a radical
leftist with a bullhorn or just anyone with a bullhorn,
there's something about holding a bullhorn.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'm very important and I need to be heard.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
That makes me want to prove. You need to be
brought down a peg.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah. You have a show them how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You you're telling me you found the only radio shack
left in America, bought a bullhorn. Got batteries for it.
Went out on the street, now you want everyone to
know what you think about something?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And inevitably, the first time you use it, all it
does is do that squelchy feedback, kind of a squeal
that everybody hates. And it's not a cool feedback, like
on a guitar. Right. Guitar feedback sounds so cool. Anyway. Anyway,
we're still getting a lot of emails from people welcoming
us back from our Italian vacation last week, and part
(10:52):
of that is because Some people listen at different times
because of the world-famous Walton & Johnson app, which you
could also listen to in Italy, by the way. Just saying.
They're hearing different stories at different times, and so the
emails are coming in. And then we also had a
lot of emails yesterday about poor old Hee Haw. Hee
Haw the donkey. Hee Haw the donkey. which kind of
(11:15):
reminds me of an Italian song. I'm more of a
Dominic guy myself. I know, you've always been a Dominic dude.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But I do, you know, Hee Haw and Dominic, it's
because I'm on Team Dominic that I support Hee Haw. Hey,
jingity jing, it's Dominic the donkey, jingity jing, the Italian
Christmas donkey.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Won't be that long till Christmas, will it? This is
an old song.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
It wasn't until years later we learned when he wrote
those lyrics, he was being very racist.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Uh-oh. Yeah. Well, we're not. No, we're not. No. He was.
We don't approve of that. Hee-haw. The donkey. Talked about
it a lot yesterday. Georgia, not far from Rome. Yeah.
Walton and Johnson country. I thought it was North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I thought it was southeast of Rome, Georgia. But anyway,
go on. Ken, one of the guys who wrote the email, says...
I know you guys are pro-police, and, you know, that's
usually the way it should be. But, you know, cops
shot a baby donkey. I don't know if it was
a baby or if it was a miniature, but, you know,
(12:20):
who cares? It said baby donkey. Yeah, Cedartown, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Go on. Okay. He said the cops in North Carolina
shot a donkey, but we know better. Yeah. They said
the baby donkey, named Hee Haw, ran up and began
braying at them like that dude from Rascal Flatts. Which
I think is great. It's pretty funny. That's in the email. Yeah.
And so they shot and killed him. Said, I'm sorry,
but if you're scared of a baby donkey, you shouldn't
(12:46):
be a cop. There's a lot of cops. Not a lot.
There's a number of cops that shouldn't be cops. I
thought the same thing. There's people on the radio. Shouldn't
be on the radio. Down the hall that should not
have a radio. Oh, that guy for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, I thought the same thing. Because Hee Haw is
apparently a donkey that does petting zoos. And whatever they
interpreted his sounds and bodily language.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Running up and hee-hawing might have been, pet me, pet me,
I like people.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That's exactly what was happening. Sure, but the cops didn't know.
According to the owner, Hannah Palestine. No, it was Israel.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Hannah Israel. Hannah Israel, yeah. And we're on team. I'm
on team hee-haw. Unless she switched. Wow. Yeah, they could.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But we agree. We think there are bad cops. I
think most cops are good guys.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
We're pro, but we're not 100% no questions asked pro cop.
That was our immediate position.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know what he thought we were saying, but
we were on immediately saying Harambe, peanut.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah. We're on the team. I don't think we defended
the police action in any way. No. But, you know,
then I'm curious. I have questions.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Is it possible they were in the dark? They couldn't
see what was coming at them. They just heard sounds
of a weird animal that because.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It was there's possibly some extenuating circumstances we're unaware of. Right. Exactly.
We heard that's basically how news is told today. You know,
we heard this happened. And sometimes it's AI and it
didn't happen at all. And sometimes you only got half
the story and you might want to wait for the
other half.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, I'm definitely on team hee-haw here, but I'm also
a reasonable person. I'm innocent till proven guilty guy. I'd
love to hear the story. Why'd you shoot the donkey?
And now that the donkey's dead, you know, there's a
beef shortage. Is there any chance?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I don't know if that's going to happen. Tell me,
what day is it? What day? It's called Wednesday. Hump day.
Hump day.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Am I right? Hump, hump, hump, hump, hump.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You still have work to do. Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
They say there's this island paradise.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's a secret hub where people from around the world
go to avoid Russian sanctions so they can do business
with the Kremlin.
Speaker 1 (00:12):

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh, and today we're also giving away a Lamborghini on
the show, so stick around for that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oh, I've been told the Lamborghini deal has not been
officially inked yet. I mean, it could be first thing
this morning, but it's on hold. Okay, well, then how
about this?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Still a few tickets left for Operation Comedy Therapy on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You're giving those away?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, but.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh, okay. But they're in the glove compartment of the Lamborghini. Right.
If you get that. And they're dirt cheap, so get
them today. Good Wednesday morning, everyone. It'll be a fun show.
Fun show. Okay, let's go. It's showtime. Walton and Johnson
Radio Network. Yeah, we're up. Don't worry. Were you worried?
Up and at it. No worry here. No.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Greetings, radio arenas. Still here after all these years. Still
missing Italy, though, I got to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I mean, I'm glad I'm back at work and I'm
glad you're listening and all, but I'm still missing Italy.
It was a game changer of a vacation, I got
to tell you. It really was.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Last night, me and the lady were on the couch
and she says, let's get Cacio e Pepe.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Let's see, lady and I. Oh. Oh, you're one of those, huh? Yeah.
Last night, me girlfriend and me. Yeah, me and some
chick were huddling and cuddling on the couch, man.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
She says she wants Cacio a Pepe, and I was like,
all right, but lower your expectations.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, the DoorDash fee is going to be outrageous. Well,
that's Iran's fault, isn't it? Yes, it is. Today is
National Live Fearless Day, so go ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Stand up in the middle of Philadelphia with a bullhorn
and scream, the Eagles are gay.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Dallas Cowboys rule. That ought to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I got to think there's a handful of people in
Philadelphia that would go, yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And, you know, if you just stand in the middle
of the street with a bullhorn, chances are they'll attack
you even if you don't say anything. That's Philadelphia. That's all.
That's just kind of how Philadelphia is, isn't it? I've
never been. but i i hear things you know when
i'm in um public and you know i'm calming down
a little at this point in my life you know
me oh 10 years ago yeah i.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Used to be very happy to just engage with crazy
people in a public place.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You'd almost uh you know look for it or at
least not avoid it but and and mostly nowadays i'm
not like that anymore but once in a while when
i'm in a public place and I see a radical
leftist with a bullhorn or just anyone with a bullhorn,
there's something about holding a bullhorn.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'm very important and I need to be heard.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
That makes me want to prove. You need to be
brought down a peg.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah. You have a show them how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You you're telling me you found the only radio shack
left in America, bought a bullhorn. Got batteries for it.
Went out on the street, now you want everyone to
know what you think about something?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And inevitably, the first time you use it, all it
does is do that squelchy feedback, kind of a squeal
that everybody hates. And it's not a cool feedback, like
on a guitar. Right. Guitar feedback sounds so cool. Anyway. Anyway,
we're still getting a lot of emails from people welcoming
us back from our Italian vacation last week, and part
(10:52):
of that is because Some people listen at different times
because of the world-famous Walton & Johnson app, which you
could also listen to in Italy, by the way. Just saying.
They're hearing different stories at different times, and so the
emails are coming in. And then we also had a
lot of emails yesterday about poor old Hee Haw. Hee
Haw the donkey. Hee Haw the donkey. which kind of
(11:15):
reminds me of an Italian song. I'm more of a
Dominic guy myself. I know, you've always been a Dominic dude.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But I do, you know, Hee Haw and Dominic, it's
because I'm on Team Dominic that I support Hee Haw. Hey,
jingity jing, it's Dominic the donkey, jingity jing, the Italian
Christmas donkey.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Won't be that long till Christmas, will it? This is
an old song.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
It wasn't until years later we learned when he wrote
those lyrics, he was being very racist.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Uh-oh. Yeah. Well, we're not. No, we're not. No. He was.
We don't approve of that. Hee-haw. The donkey. Talked about
it a lot yesterday. Georgia, not far from Rome. Yeah.
Walton and Johnson country. I thought it was North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I thought it was southeast of Rome, Georgia. But anyway,
go on. Ken, one of the guys who wrote the email, says...
I know you guys are pro-police, and, you know, that's
usually the way it should be. But, you know, cops
shot a baby donkey. I don't know if it was
a baby or if it was a miniature, but, you know,
(12:20):
who cares? It said baby donkey. Yeah, Cedartown, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Go on. Okay. He said the cops in North Carolina
shot a donkey, but we know better. Yeah. They said
the baby donkey, named Hee Haw, ran up and began
braying at them like that dude from Rascal Flatts. Which
I think is great. It's pretty funny. That's in the email. Yeah.
And so they shot and killed him. Said, I'm sorry,
but if you're scared of a baby donkey, you shouldn't
(12:46):
be a cop. There's a lot of cops. Not a lot.
There's a number of cops that shouldn't be cops. I
thought the same thing. There's people on the radio. Shouldn't
be on the radio. Down the hall that should not
have a radio. Oh, that guy for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, I thought the same thing. Because Hee Haw is
apparently a donkey that does petting zoos. And whatever they
interpreted his sounds and bodily language.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Running up and hee-hawing might have been, pet me, pet me,
I like people.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That's exactly what was happening. Sure, but the cops didn't know.
According to the owner, Hannah Palestine. No, it was Israel.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Hannah Israel. Hannah Israel, yeah. And we're on team. I'm
on team hee-haw. Unless she switched. Wow. Yeah, they could.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But we agree. We think there are bad cops. I
think most cops are good guys.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
We're pro, but we're not 100% no questions asked pro cop.
That was our immediate position.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know what he thought we were saying, but
we were on immediately saying Harambe, peanut.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah. We're on the team. I don't think we defended
the police action in any way. No. But, you know,
then I'm curious. I have questions.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Is it possible they were in the dark? They couldn't
see what was coming at them. They just heard sounds
of a weird animal that because.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It was there's possibly some extenuating circumstances we're unaware of. Right. Exactly.
We heard that's basically how news is told today. You know,
we heard this happened. And sometimes it's AI and it
didn't happen at all. And sometimes you only got half
the story and you might want to wait for the
other half.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, I'm definitely on team hee-haw here, but I'm also
a reasonable person. I'm innocent till proven guilty guy. I'd
love to hear the story. Why'd you shoot the donkey?
And now that the donkey's dead, you know, there's a
beef shortage. Is there any chance?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I don't know if that's going to happen. Tell me,
what day is it? What day? It's called Wednesday. Hump day.
Hump day.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Am I right? Hump, hump, hump, hump, hump.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You still have work to do. Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
