Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right, where the hell I'm drawn.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Way before mental health industry, right Wait, I guess they
had it back then, but it wasn't something that people
indulged in for fun.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It was one hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
If you were part of the mental health industry, it
probably meant you were doing it against your will. But
maybe way back then you could just be homeless. And
there were songs about how glamorous and romantic it was.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Now technically, and I know we've had this explained to
us multiple times, hobos homeward homeward bound. Yeah, homeward bound.
That means they have a home, they're just not in it.
They're headed that way.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But kind of like the word literally, people kind of
reinvented into something else. Yeah, I literally did skid.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I like skids. These are those skids out there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
People know when you ran into a you underground or
an overpass was filled up with a bunch of hoboes.
They know you're not talking about homeward bound individuals who've
been out working, who have to bring family money home.
So no, they're just homeless.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Now, one hundred years ago, you had the music of
Woody Guthrie or who is that song by Harry McClintock.
I guess is his name, Haywire McClintock. And they used
to just write songs about their romanticizing being homeless, and
you might think, Wow, what a different time that was.
No hashtag van life. It's back there. You go, right,
(01:24):
you go to Instagram and type hashtag van life, and
you find there's actually a giant subculture of people out
there that just drive around the country in a van.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What are they doing?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Some of them are actually making enough money to sustain
that lifestyle with internet, you know stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Especially if it's a cute girl.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
In fact, wasn't that the whole thing about Gabby Petito? Yeah,
Gabby Petito and her boyfriend had a fight. And if
you really deep dive into the weeds of that story
about that young woman that disappeared a couple of years
back and turned out to be murdered by her boyfriend,
and you realize that she knew that, she knew that
if she just drove her around a loane and documented
it on social media, she'd be more popular with people
(02:08):
than if she had the boyfriend there. Yeah, and I
don't think he liked that so much. Probably not, you know,
I gotta tell you, guys. I know it seems tempting,
but if a woman doesn't want you around, don't murder her.
It's not okay to t I know, you know so
many rules, Kenny. It doesn't seem like the kind of
thing we should have to explain to people.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But you got trouble coming. I'm telling you there's trouble coming,
and you're not gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
What's this about Billy ed World War iie or so?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, Yeah, that's coming to you. Probably won't like that. No,
a little closer to home, John Cornan is trying to
get you to like him.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
He is.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's up for reelection next year, and so now he
is on a I don't know. He wants you to
forget that he and Joe Biden passed a gun control law,
and that he is a senator from Texas.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And he's taken up for his fellow Texas politician who's
being attacked by one of his fellow Texas politicians. You
know that Jasmine Kraker of it up Bear in Dallas.
She she had some hurtful things to say about our governor.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Did you take her name and then turn it into
like something that was more mildly insulting.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I did. Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I did, but it sounded like you wanted to say
something else that you couldn't say on the radio, Jasmine
krak of it, shine all up?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, no, uh.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Cornan had just tore into her because she was, you know,
so hateful and insulting to the governor. Oh Cornyn, Okay,
it's time to pick aside. Now do you like Jasmine
or do you like me?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Like?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Eat one of you? Right? I can do without Cornn
real quick. But now he's running for you know, reelection,
So he's gonna be that guy you want to be
in there, fighting to fight.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I know this is if he can get through this primary,
John Cornyn is gonna be fine. It's the same thing
with Dan Crenshaw. Those guys that in the general and
they don't have anything to worry about. There's a headline
today in the Dallas Morning Snooze that's see I did it?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Did you do that?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I took a thing and I made fun at the
Dallas Morning Snooze. Man, you ran a story about Colin
alrid the lawmaker and former NFL player from the Dallas
fort were from the Metroplex.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Wasn't he trying to take Ted Cruz's job BINGO?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And now he wants to challenge John Cornyn. I got
news for you, Colin. I don't know if you're running
for office for a living and you don't ever want
to win, But if you couldn't beat Ted Cruz, a
controversial person in his own party, I promise you you
will not beat John Cornyn. John Cornyn is that's a
softball pitch. If he gets through the primary in his
(04:40):
own party. Same with Bill Cassidy, same with Mitch McConnell.
If any of these guys get to the general election,
there are Democrats that will vote for them. They think, ah,
well he's safe. Yeah, well just vote for Cornyn.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I don't know that he's about halfway with him most
of the time, most of the time.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And at Jasmine Crockett Gal, you know, the one with
the mouth. She apologized. She said she was sorry if
you know anybody was offended. She was just criticizing a Republican,
a conservative the policies when she called governor having a
(05:17):
honky boy in a wheelchair whose legs don't work no more.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh my god, what that's the thing?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
She said a honkey boy in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Was like, wait, wait, that's that's the Babylon B report.
Sometimes they turned things around. I thought, fair, well, you
know what's basically what she meant when she said hot wheels.
She meant the honky boy whose legs don't work no more.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, well, for a second, I thought you were being serious,
because when you do a deep dive and you start
looking at what some of these politicians have said.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They do say some stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Because she did say that Abbot rolls around the state
and supporting illegals or something. She's made fun of him
for being in a wheelchair more than once. And I
will tell you this as a guy that's raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars for people in wheelchairs with the
help of my friends here in the room, of.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Course, trying to get them in wheelchairs because they need them.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, that's a big policy. I'm not going to pretend
I'm offended. I'm not. I don't care if Jasmine Crockett
says something dumb. I don't get angry when dumb people
say stupid things. What would be the point, in fact,
she's helping our side? Oh yeah, so go ahead say
all the dumb things she want.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I mean, there are.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
People dying in the streets right now. I'm supposed to
care what Jasmine Crockett says.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And for those of you who don't know the history
of the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, do you know
how he ended up in a wheelchair in the first place.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
He was jogging in Houston. Yeah, out for a run
and a tree fell on him, which teaches us an
important lesson.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Billy'd don't jog, never exercise dangerous And yeah he was.
He said, he heard a loud like an explosion or cracking,
real loud, and then boom, he was down. I don't
know what, just bad timing or the Lord, you know,
with his lightning bolts from his finger, but a big
old oak tree just fell over and crushed spine. He
(07:01):
had been able to walk since. And we didn't know
this until Jasmine Crockett started this controversy. That guy that
was running for vice president a while back, Tim.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Walls, I remember him.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
He had the.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Same exact accident happened to him really luckily though he
has no spine. Ah didn't no harm done here.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You know, He's gonna be in Houston and I with
Beto O'Rourke, and everyone's trying to get me to go.
They're like, Kenny, you should go and then ask a
question and get arrested or so. It was like more
than in the newsroom down the hall, more than one
person has says, So, Kenny, you're gonna go punk Beto tonight? Huh?
You know, peeling back the onion on that governor abbit thing.
Most people in Texas know what I'm about to say,
but we're on the radio in a lot of places
(07:45):
outside of Texas.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't even know what you're about to say.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know about this Abbott was the guy responsible for
tort reform. Yeah, now if that sounds like legal leese,
don't feel.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
He made a lot of money off that tree falling
on him.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And then later on when he became i'm a public official,
he changed the laws and the roles so that people
couldn't get as much money as what he got.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
We didn't have all that camera you know, security camera
footage and doorbell cams and all that kind of stuff.
You think maybe he was whittling away on net tree himself.
I don't, and timed it just right so he could
start making some money off of that business.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That seems unlikely to me, Billy, I thought that was
what you were saying.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know that he made it so other people can't
get money for the thing that he got money for,
which I don't think anyone would do to themselves on purpose.
Of course, you never know. You know what I've always wondered,
what with people getting face tattoos and piercings in weird places,
three nose rings and stuff. How far away are we
from people amputating certain parts of their body for fashion.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Man, I hope we're there. I'd like to see it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Like if somebody was, like, you know, it'd look really
cool now that I've got a face tattoo and I
pierced my throat. You know, you know, it'd look cool
if I cut off a finger.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh yeah, I like that. You know, them Japanese mafia guys,
they'd cut off their little finger if they got in
trouble with the boss. Yeah, that was their punishment. Dazing. Okay.
You know you can either not be in a Japanese
mafia anymore or put finger off and you do it
usually you know, in the boardroom at the office where
(09:14):
all the big wigs are there, so they can watch you,
you know, and you're supposed to not feel it or
show any you know, like the Indians would never show pain.
That's what you're told.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sure you're yeah, I believe you're talking about the Yakuza.
That's the ones my experience just you know, as an
average guy.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You talk about tattoos, Boy, they got them.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Who deals with the yakuza from time to time? Do
not cross them?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You know. It's like when you don't cross them and
you don't boss them, they're wild and they're well, you know,
they're little dangers.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's the thing. Two things I learned growing up. Never
cross the yakuza.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Actually if he's missing a little finger, because you know,
he's broke the rules before.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I know, I get it. And then of course, always
rewind videotapes when you have to, I.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Mean, you know, to be kind.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
As I've gotten older. The thing about the yakuza, surprisingly,
it has come in more helpful than the advice about
the videotapes. Almost never have to deal with that, is
that's right? Yeah, not really an issue anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, you're a modern man and a modern or aren't you?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Today's show is brought to you by Throwback Thursday. Someone
handed me a picture and said, this is a photo
of me when I was younger. Every picture of you
is when you were younger. Show me a photo of
one you're older, and I'll say, let me see that camera.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Wilton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh look, I just walked in. How you guys you
call that walking? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Like he sat say, I think, is what, idiot?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It kind of looks like you skipped?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Well maybe I did?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Is that? Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What's the age when skipping is no longer appropriated?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Should never stop being appropriate? Let the little child inside
you come out and play every now and then. I
think you live longer if you do.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think after puberty only serial killers skip. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There's a certain point where a fully grown man just
shouldn't be skipping around.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
When you say the words, I think you mean you
didn't give it any thought at all?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's also when music comes on like that, you should
move your body. Do a little twist or a little
shoulder move like this. Just don't point your fingers, okay,
And it's good to loosen up. Get those those joints lubricated.
It's like the tin man getting oiled up oil get.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Look, I'm all limber.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Wow, that's weird. Now you just go right into the robot.
You like that.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You really are from the eighties. He was doing he
was doing choreography. I thought I was in a David
Bowie music video for a second.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know. I gave that to you for free the
first time. Now you enter pay from now on.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Hey, earlier, you missed this part of the show, so
just ignore me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'm just back here enjoying the show.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's okay. I'll update you from the rear there. Okay,
So earlier we were talking about the R word, mister Kenneth,
is that I don't want to be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Is that word not acceptable in your community?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't care for it. Well, one of the points,
personal thing, one of the points I was trying to make,
and I don't know if I expressed it well, was
even though it's supposed to be an insult usually you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
It's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be a
medical term. It used to be, but people have turned
it into insulting by shortening it, you know, like homosexual,
for example. People wanted it to be more insulting, and
they say homo or mo, and we know that that's
you know, you're trying to insult people. That's not right.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Okay, well hang on a second. That used to be
an insult.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Now that's a protected class that's eligible for all kinds
of special benefits and privileges us.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And remember I'm a child of the eighties. Yeah, we
went through all of that when it was way back
when it was insulting. This is hurtful, and people attacked
us and sometimes killed us, and hunger did bodies and
fences in Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
This actually stems back to a conversation we had earlier
this week in the in the wash in the Wall
Street Journal. We did, yes, we were talking about that
article about women don't want to get married anymore because
they're making too much money. And I had pointed out, Wow,
you know, I don't believe that's true. I think women
still want to get married. And Austin, the guy that
runs our online store, set actually, nowadays a quality would
(13:11):
be a step.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Down for women.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Women don't want to be equal to men. That would
be a step down. And I couldn't believe that, And
then he pointed out something to me that blew my
mind again. Women are liberated from their biological gender roles.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Men are not.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I'm talking about heterosexual men. Women in the eighteen hundreds
of a very different life than they do today, right, Men,
not so much. You still have to adhere to the
same gender roles. The only men who are not liberated
from their gender roles are gay or trans people. I'm
talking about financial stuff, things that are expected of you
in society US. Heterosexual cisgender normal men, Billy ed.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
It ain't easy being a white dude. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We got to hold up the world.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, y'all have it so bad. But we were talking
about the R word as well, mister kenneth O.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
See, they took mentally retarded and then they just shortened
it to retard it, and then they shortened it more
to retard, and that was meant to be hurtful.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's true. First it was retarded, then it was retard,
then it was tired. Now we just call him democrats,
and I don't think that's nice, you know. But one
of our listeners, Daniel Dale, excuse me. Dale is a
good listener from the Georgia area. Very into the show,
He's a big part of our online community on x
talking with our listeners every day, and Dale had pointed
out how at his Methodist church there's a young man
(14:29):
named Daniel, and Daniel happens to have Down syndrome, and
in the tweet that he just sent me, he said,
the term mentally retarded is a medicical classification. But I
don't call stupid people retards as an insult because I
don't want to insult my friend Daniel. Nobody works harder
at our church events than Daniel and Dale. I just
want you and your wife to know.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That was very sweet, Yes, it was wonderful. You want
them to know.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
We love Daniel, Daniel.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Daniel is always welcome at our party, even if he
is a Methodist. Oh no, yeah, well forgive him. I know, well,
he's one of the good ones, you know, Oh guin guink, Yeah, yeah,
you know how those Methodists are.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well, I don't actually know how Methodists are. Yeah, well there,
Probably you should educate myself. Maybe I would have figured
it out that that was probably a joke.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Probably because you're probably because you're a heathen, you know,
that's true. Yeah, my father was not a Catholic. Sadly
and but he was. But but you are How did
you do that? My mom's Catholic, my dad was Episcopalian.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh yeah, they always smell kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, like pesto or something basil. My father was a
pillar at his community. He was a great guy. And
he uh was involved in the community, the arts council
in his small town.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
He was a tutored kids.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He was a basketball coach, and he was on the
hoa and he contributed to all kinds of great charities
and causes. And when my father died like a hell
of a man, he really was. There were hundreds of
people at my dad's funeral. There wasn't an empty chair.
People had to stand in the back of the room.
There were so many people there. That's why it breaks
my heart that he's burning in hell for being Episcopalian.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Wait what you know, you think it's sad?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know that's rough.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, that's where they go, you know, No, I know anyway, yeah, well,
you know, pray for the sinners.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Is when I saw Christy Nomes in the news.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Could you believe that video of her at the l
Salvador prison. God it worked, bro, But come on.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
She goes to El Salvador, watches all the tattooed gang
members behind bars salivate over her, and then she turns
around and give him some booty shots.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
She was facing the guys in the jail, and they
were all you know, I don't know. There was no
sound with the video, which probably for a good thing.
I don't think we'd have been able to put it
on the radio what they were saying, unless you don't
speak English. Did it remind anybody else of the silence
of the lambs a little bit?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It was the first thing I thought of.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He could he could I could smell he could smell her?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah? Her her?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, it was the first thing I thought of. We
were talking about this off the air earlier. As Christine
Elms walking through the prison, I was like, she's Jody Foster.
She's Jody Foster visiting what's his name? Hannibal actor and
hello Clarice agent styling. Bro. You know what's do you
know what's crazy about that prison? We've all seen shots
of it. You know that's not a holding cell. There
(17:22):
are a lot of them. Most of them are in
there for that one, not the one in the movie. No, No,
the one in the Al Salvador in El salvad.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Or, they had how many of you say, seventy people
in a tiny room to a cell. Now it's a
big cell, no mattressess, no pillows, but yeah, they get
out for half an hour a day. Otherwise they're if
they if they get the shower, they do it in
front of seventy other guys. And if they have to poop,
(17:48):
they right here in front of seventy and you probably
have to wait to turn. I don't know how many
toilets they got in the room for seventy people, but
you know how one man can blow up a toilet.
You imagine that toilet at the end of the day. Well,
these little guys, they're little, you know, but there's a
bunch of them, sure, and it's South American food. The
first all tattooed to look almost the same. Yeah, how
(18:10):
do you know who's who? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
That's got to be confusing, you know, I'd.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Say, well, they all enjoyed the visit from Miss Christie.
Like I say, she she started facing them and I'm
sure they were talking or somebody was saying her. Maybe
they were asking questions, Hey, how's it going in prison
in El Salvador. Right then the reporters asked her, uh
some questions, so she turned around to face the reporters,
(18:34):
and that's when the guys in the jail cell got
all the nice booty look you know that.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know how some women look better from the front,
now others look better from the back, you know what
I mean. I mean they're all beautiful, but men too.
From what I could tell about Christy, she's more of
a beautiful from the front type.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know if I've ever really know. Well, there
she is again. Let's see they keep running this.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I mean, not bad.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Usually you see her on a horse.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, and she looks good on a horse.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
See that's the prison southing. I got it on the
news right now. You know, the go into the bathroom
part in front of other guys. That wouldn't bother me.
It's having sex in front of other guys. That's why
would creep me out. You know, why would someone do
a radio show on a Thursday Walton and Johnson Radio
Network
Right, where the hell I'm drawn.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Way before mental health industry, right Wait, I guess they
had it back then, but it wasn't something that people
indulged in for fun.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It was one hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
If you were part of the mental health industry, it
probably meant you were doing it against your will. But
maybe way back then you could just be homeless. And
there were songs about how glamorous and romantic it was.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Now technically, and I know we've had this explained to
us multiple times, hobos homeward homeward bound. Yeah, homeward bound.
That means they have a home, they're just not in it.
They're headed that way.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But kind of like the word literally, people kind of
reinvented into something else. Yeah, I literally did skid.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I like skids. These are those skids out there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
People know when you ran into a you underground or
an overpass was filled up with a bunch of hoboes.
They know you're not talking about homeward bound individuals who've
been out working, who have to bring family money home.
So no, they're just homeless.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Now, one hundred years ago, you had the music of
Woody Guthrie or who is that song by Harry McClintock.
I guess is his name, Haywire McClintock. And they used
to just write songs about their romanticizing being homeless, and
you might think, Wow, what a different time that was.
No hashtag van life. It's back there. You go, right,
(01:24):
you go to Instagram and type hashtag van life, and
you find there's actually a giant subculture of people out
there that just drive around the country in a van.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What are they doing?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Some of them are actually making enough money to sustain
that lifestyle with internet, you know stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Especially if it's a cute girl.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
In fact, wasn't that the whole thing about Gabby Petito? Yeah,
Gabby Petito and her boyfriend had a fight. And if
you really deep dive into the weeds of that story
about that young woman that disappeared a couple of years
back and turned out to be murdered by her boyfriend,
and you realize that she knew that, she knew that
if she just drove her around a loane and documented
it on social media, she'd be more popular with people
(02:08):
than if she had the boyfriend there. Yeah, and I
don't think he liked that so much. Probably not, you know,
I gotta tell you, guys. I know it seems tempting,
but if a woman doesn't want you around, don't murder her.
It's not okay to t I know, you know so
many rules, Kenny. It doesn't seem like the kind of
thing we should have to explain to people.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But you got trouble coming. I'm telling you there's trouble coming,
and you're not gonna like it.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
What's this about Billy ed World War iie or so?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, Yeah, that's coming to you. Probably won't like that. No,
a little closer to home, John Cornan is trying to
get you to like him.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
He is.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He's up for reelection next year, and so now he
is on a I don't know. He wants you to
forget that he and Joe Biden passed a gun control law,
and that he is a senator from Texas.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And he's taken up for his fellow Texas politician who's
being attacked by one of his fellow Texas politicians. You
know that Jasmine Kraker of it up Bear in Dallas.
She she had some hurtful things to say about our governor.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Did you take her name and then turn it into
like something that was more mildly insulting.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I did. Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I did, but it sounded like you wanted to say
something else that you couldn't say on the radio, Jasmine
krak of it, shine all up?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, no, uh.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Cornan had just tore into her because she was, you know,
so hateful and insulting to the governor. Oh Cornyn, Okay,
it's time to pick aside. Now do you like Jasmine
or do you like me?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Like?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Eat one of you? Right? I can do without Cornn
real quick. But now he's running for you know, reelection,
So he's gonna be that guy you want to be
in there, fighting to fight.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I know this is if he can get through this primary,
John Cornyn is gonna be fine. It's the same thing
with Dan Crenshaw. Those guys that in the general and
they don't have anything to worry about. There's a headline
today in the Dallas Morning Snooze that's see I did it?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Did you do that?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I took a thing and I made fun at the
Dallas Morning Snooze. Man, you ran a story about Colin
alrid the lawmaker and former NFL player from the Dallas
fort were from the Metroplex.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Wasn't he trying to take Ted Cruz's job BINGO?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And now he wants to challenge John Cornyn. I got
news for you, Colin. I don't know if you're running
for office for a living and you don't ever want
to win, But if you couldn't beat Ted Cruz, a
controversial person in his own party, I promise you you
will not beat John Cornyn. John Cornyn is that's a
softball pitch. If he gets through the primary in his
(04:40):
own party. Same with Bill Cassidy, same with Mitch McConnell.
If any of these guys get to the general election,
there are Democrats that will vote for them. They think, ah,
well he's safe. Yeah, well just vote for Cornyn.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I don't know that he's about halfway with him most
of the time, most of the time.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And at Jasmine Crockett Gal, you know, the one with
the mouth. She apologized. She said she was sorry if
you know anybody was offended. She was just criticizing a Republican,
a conservative the policies when she called governor having a
(05:17):
honky boy in a wheelchair whose legs don't work no more.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh my god, what that's the thing?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
She said a honkey boy in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Was like, wait, wait, that's that's the Babylon B report.
Sometimes they turned things around. I thought, fair, well, you
know what's basically what she meant when she said hot wheels.
She meant the honky boy whose legs don't work no more.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, well, for a second, I thought you were being serious,
because when you do a deep dive and you start
looking at what some of these politicians have said.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They do say some stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Because she did say that Abbot rolls around the state
and supporting illegals or something. She's made fun of him
for being in a wheelchair more than once. And I
will tell you this as a guy that's raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars for people in wheelchairs with the
help of my friends here in the room, of.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Course, trying to get them in wheelchairs because they need them.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, that's a big policy. I'm not going to pretend
I'm offended. I'm not. I don't care if Jasmine Crockett
says something dumb. I don't get angry when dumb people
say stupid things. What would be the point, in fact,
she's helping our side? Oh yeah, so go ahead say
all the dumb things she want.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I mean, there are.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
People dying in the streets right now. I'm supposed to
care what Jasmine Crockett says.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And for those of you who don't know the history
of the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, do you know
how he ended up in a wheelchair in the first place.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
He was jogging in Houston. Yeah, out for a run
and a tree fell on him, which teaches us an
important lesson.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Billy'd don't jog, never exercise dangerous And yeah he was.
He said, he heard a loud like an explosion or cracking,
real loud, and then boom, he was down. I don't
know what, just bad timing or the Lord, you know,
with his lightning bolts from his finger, but a big
old oak tree just fell over and crushed spine. He
(07:01):
had been able to walk since. And we didn't know
this until Jasmine Crockett started this controversy. That guy that
was running for vice president a while back, Tim.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Walls, I remember him.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
He had the.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Same exact accident happened to him really luckily though he
has no spine. Ah didn't no harm done here.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You know, He's gonna be in Houston and I with
Beto O'Rourke, and everyone's trying to get me to go.
They're like, Kenny, you should go and then ask a
question and get arrested or so. It was like more
than in the newsroom down the hall, more than one
person has says, So, Kenny, you're gonna go punk Beto tonight? Huh?
You know, peeling back the onion on that governor abbit thing.
Most people in Texas know what I'm about to say,
but we're on the radio in a lot of places
(07:45):
outside of Texas.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't even know what you're about to say.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know about this Abbott was the guy responsible for
tort reform. Yeah, now if that sounds like legal leese,
don't feel.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
He made a lot of money off that tree falling
on him.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And then later on when he became i'm a public official,
he changed the laws and the roles so that people
couldn't get as much money as what he got.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
We didn't have all that camera you know, security camera
footage and doorbell cams and all that kind of stuff.
You think maybe he was whittling away on net tree himself.
I don't, and timed it just right so he could
start making some money off of that business.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That seems unlikely to me, Billy, I thought that was
what you were saying.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know that he made it so other people can't
get money for the thing that he got money for,
which I don't think anyone would do to themselves on purpose.
Of course, you never know. You know what I've always wondered,
what with people getting face tattoos and piercings in weird places,
three nose rings and stuff. How far away are we
from people amputating certain parts of their body for fashion.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Man, I hope we're there. I'd like to see it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Like if somebody was, like, you know, it'd look really
cool now that I've got a face tattoo and I
pierced my throat. You know, you know, it'd look cool
if I cut off a finger.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh yeah, I like that. You know, them Japanese mafia guys,
they'd cut off their little finger if they got in
trouble with the boss. Yeah, that was their punishment. Dazing. Okay.
You know you can either not be in a Japanese
mafia anymore or put finger off and you do it
usually you know, in the boardroom at the office where
(09:14):
all the big wigs are there, so they can watch you,
you know, and you're supposed to not feel it or
show any you know, like the Indians would never show pain.
That's what you're told.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sure you're yeah, I believe you're talking about the Yakuza.
That's the ones my experience just you know, as an
average guy.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You talk about tattoos, Boy, they got them.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Who deals with the yakuza from time to time? Do
not cross them?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You know. It's like when you don't cross them and
you don't boss them, they're wild and they're well, you know,
they're little dangers.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's the thing. Two things I learned growing up. Never
cross the yakuza.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Actually if he's missing a little finger, because you know,
he's broke the rules before.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I know, I get it. And then of course, always
rewind videotapes when you have to, I.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Mean, you know, to be kind.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
As I've gotten older. The thing about the yakuza, surprisingly,
it has come in more helpful than the advice about
the videotapes. Almost never have to deal with that, is
that's right? Yeah, not really an issue anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, you're a modern man and a modern or aren't you?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Today's show is brought to you by Throwback Thursday. Someone
handed me a picture and said, this is a photo
of me when I was younger. Every picture of you
is when you were younger. Show me a photo of
one you're older, and I'll say, let me see that camera.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Wilton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh look, I just walked in. How you guys you
call that walking? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Like he sat say, I think, is what, idiot?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It kind of looks like you skipped?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Well maybe I did?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Is that? Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What's the age when skipping is no longer appropriated?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Should never stop being appropriate? Let the little child inside
you come out and play every now and then. I
think you live longer if you do.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think after puberty only serial killers skip. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There's a certain point where a fully grown man just
shouldn't be skipping around.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
When you say the words, I think you mean you
didn't give it any thought at all?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's also when music comes on like that, you should
move your body. Do a little twist or a little
shoulder move like this. Just don't point your fingers, okay,
And it's good to loosen up. Get those those joints lubricated.
It's like the tin man getting oiled up oil get.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Look, I'm all limber.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Wow, that's weird. Now you just go right into the robot.
You like that.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You really are from the eighties. He was doing he
was doing choreography. I thought I was in a David
Bowie music video for a second.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know. I gave that to you for free the
first time. Now you enter pay from now on.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Hey, earlier, you missed this part of the show, so
just ignore me.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'm just back here enjoying the show.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's okay. I'll update you from the rear there. Okay,
So earlier we were talking about the R word, mister Kenneth,
is that I don't want to be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Is that word not acceptable in your community?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't care for it. Well, one of the points,
personal thing, one of the points I was trying to make,
and I don't know if I expressed it well, was
even though it's supposed to be an insult usually you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
It's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be a
medical term. It used to be, but people have turned
it into insulting by shortening it, you know, like homosexual,
for example. People wanted it to be more insulting, and
they say homo or mo, and we know that that's
you know, you're trying to insult people. That's not right.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Okay, well hang on a second. That used to be
an insult.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Now that's a protected class that's eligible for all kinds
of special benefits and privileges us.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And remember I'm a child of the eighties. Yeah, we
went through all of that when it was way back
when it was insulting. This is hurtful, and people attacked
us and sometimes killed us, and hunger did bodies and
fences in Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
This actually stems back to a conversation we had earlier
this week in the in the wash in the Wall
Street Journal. We did, yes, we were talking about that
article about women don't want to get married anymore because
they're making too much money. And I had pointed out, Wow,
you know, I don't believe that's true. I think women
still want to get married. And Austin, the guy that
runs our online store, set actually, nowadays a quality would
(13:11):
be a step.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Down for women.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Women don't want to be equal to men. That would
be a step down. And I couldn't believe that, And
then he pointed out something to me that blew my
mind again. Women are liberated from their biological gender roles.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Men are not.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I'm talking about heterosexual men. Women in the eighteen hundreds
of a very different life than they do today, right, Men,
not so much. You still have to adhere to the
same gender roles. The only men who are not liberated
from their gender roles are gay or trans people. I'm
talking about financial stuff, things that are expected of you
in society US. Heterosexual cisgender normal men, Billy ed.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
It ain't easy being a white dude. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We got to hold up the world.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, y'all have it so bad. But we were talking
about the R word as well, mister kenneth O.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
See, they took mentally retarded and then they just shortened
it to retard it, and then they shortened it more
to retard, and that was meant to be hurtful.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's true. First it was retarded, then it was retard,
then it was tired. Now we just call him democrats,
and I don't think that's nice, you know. But one
of our listeners, Daniel Dale, excuse me. Dale is a
good listener from the Georgia area. Very into the show,
He's a big part of our online community on x
talking with our listeners every day, and Dale had pointed
out how at his Methodist church there's a young man
(14:29):
named Daniel, and Daniel happens to have Down syndrome, and
in the tweet that he just sent me, he said,
the term mentally retarded is a medicical classification. But I
don't call stupid people retards as an insult because I
don't want to insult my friend Daniel. Nobody works harder
at our church events than Daniel and Dale. I just
want you and your wife to know.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That was very sweet, Yes, it was wonderful. You want
them to know.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
We love Daniel, Daniel.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Daniel is always welcome at our party, even if he
is a Methodist. Oh no, yeah, well forgive him. I know, well,
he's one of the good ones, you know, Oh guin guink, Yeah, yeah,
you know how those Methodists are.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well, I don't actually know how Methodists are. Yeah, well there,
Probably you should educate myself. Maybe I would have figured
it out that that was probably a joke.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Probably because you're probably because you're a heathen, you know,
that's true. Yeah, my father was not a Catholic. Sadly
and but he was. But but you are How did
you do that? My mom's Catholic, my dad was Episcopalian.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh yeah, they always smell kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, like pesto or something basil. My father was a
pillar at his community. He was a great guy. And
he uh was involved in the community, the arts council
in his small town.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
He was a tutored kids.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He was a basketball coach, and he was on the
hoa and he contributed to all kinds of great charities
and causes. And when my father died like a hell
of a man, he really was. There were hundreds of
people at my dad's funeral. There wasn't an empty chair.
People had to stand in the back of the room.
There were so many people there. That's why it breaks
my heart that he's burning in hell for being Episcopalian.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Wait what you know, you think it's sad?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know that's rough.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, that's where they go, you know, No, I know anyway, yeah, well,
you know, pray for the sinners.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Is when I saw Christy Nomes in the news.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Could you believe that video of her at the l
Salvador prison. God it worked, bro, But come on.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
She goes to El Salvador, watches all the tattooed gang
members behind bars salivate over her, and then she turns
around and give him some booty shots.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
She was facing the guys in the jail, and they
were all you know, I don't know. There was no
sound with the video, which probably for a good thing.
I don't think we'd have been able to put it
on the radio what they were saying, unless you don't
speak English. Did it remind anybody else of the silence
of the lambs a little bit?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It was the first thing I thought of.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He could he could I could smell he could smell her?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah? Her her?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, it was the first thing I thought of. We
were talking about this off the air earlier. As Christine
Elms walking through the prison, I was like, she's Jody Foster.
She's Jody Foster visiting what's his name? Hannibal actor and
hello Clarice agent styling. Bro. You know what's do you
know what's crazy about that prison? We've all seen shots
of it. You know that's not a holding cell. There
(17:22):
are a lot of them. Most of them are in
there for that one, not the one in the movie. No, No,
the one in the Al Salvador in El salvad.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Or, they had how many of you say, seventy people
in a tiny room to a cell. Now it's a
big cell, no mattressess, no pillows, but yeah, they get
out for half an hour a day. Otherwise they're if
they if they get the shower, they do it in
front of seventy other guys. And if they have to poop,
(17:48):
they right here in front of seventy and you probably
have to wait to turn. I don't know how many
toilets they got in the room for seventy people, but
you know how one man can blow up a toilet.
You imagine that toilet at the end of the day. Well,
these little guys, they're little, you know, but there's a
bunch of them, sure, and it's South American food. The
first all tattooed to look almost the same. Yeah, how
(18:10):
do you know who's who? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
That's got to be confusing, you know, I'd.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Say, well, they all enjoyed the visit from Miss Christie.
Like I say, she she started facing them and I'm
sure they were talking or somebody was saying her. Maybe
they were asking questions, Hey, how's it going in prison
in El Salvador. Right then the reporters asked her, uh
some questions, so she turned around to face the reporters,
(18:34):
and that's when the guys in the jail cell got
all the nice booty look you know that.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know how some women look better from the front,
now others look better from the back, you know what
I mean. I mean they're all beautiful, but men too.
From what I could tell about Christy, she's more of
a beautiful from the front type.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know if I've ever really know. Well, there
she is again. Let's see they keep running this.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I mean, not bad.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Usually you see her on a horse.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, and she looks good on a horse.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
See that's the prison southing. I got it on the
news right now. You know, the go into the bathroom
part in front of other guys. That wouldn't bother me.
It's having sex in front of other guys. That's why
would creep me out. You know, why would someone do
a radio show on a Thursday Walton and Johnson Radio
Network
