Speaker 1 (00:00):
Or I never shot a gun before that could potentially
get a flat tire.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, no, that's a little complicated. You're gonna have to
explain that a little bit for those who were not
with us.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Billyad and Steve and I went to the Texas Gun
Club yesterday for lunch. We are ambassadors, we are spokespersons
for the brand spokespeople, and they had a galling gun.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Shut up? What a gatling gun? Yeah? You ever seen
one in person before? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But I never shot one. Yeah, I've seen them. I
don't claim to be a gun expert. I am a
gun enthusiast. I don't claim to be anything I'm not.
I love to shoot guns. I don't claim to know
everything about every kind of suppressor.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Sound'm like going a wax intellectual on something I don't
know much about. But I was very surprised to find
out it's really easy to jam one of these things.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, it depending on the speed that you It's still
a crank. I would have thought by now they would
have just created a trigger that would make the same
thing just go, you know, But it's still got a
crank on this if you do it too fast or
too slow or if you don't do it with the
proper rhythm, like you know, kind of stop and start,
(01:08):
you know, jerky with it, it just freezes up on you.
And then you got to open the top, reach in,
find the bullet and it's got a lot of bullets
because it's a Gatlin gun, and find out which one
of them is jammed, and you got to release it.
I don't think if you were using it for self defense,
which I wouldn't recommend, I don't think whoever you're shooting
at it is going to give you time to unjam
(01:30):
it every few rounds. I'll say.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I wondered when I watched Legends of the Fall as
a kid and they kill what was the Gentleman's Samuel
the brother Oh during.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The World War One sequences. He'd got hit with mustard
gas and he ran into a bunch of curled barbed
wire and he got all tangled up in that, and
it was just pathetic.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It was a nice kid, basically a Golden Retriever in
a uniform.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah bred. You know. His older brother Brad Pitt tried
to save him, tried to tried to help him, but
he wouldn't list and he wanted to prove he was
a man. Yeah, and then he died.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Two German soldiers off in the distance, and they loaded
it very slowly.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It was yeah, it was like taking their time. Yeah,
he's stuck in the bar where he's not going anywhere.
This will just be a this's be a good time.
Take your time, really enjoy it. Yeah. Between that and
the mustard desk, it was a small gatling gun, but
it was on wheels. You you forgot the part about
the flat tire when you when you brought up the gun.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think it's the first thing I said, yeah, and
then you didn't explain it. Well, gatling guns have wheels.
You didn't bring that up, did you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You're right. Till just this minute, I'm just trying to
clean up the mess. I'm sweeping up all the words
that fell on the floor and I'm putting them in
a pile and we'll we we can start over. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
There's a lot to be said about gatling guns because
when you crank it, it's like an old tiny coffee
grinder from hell.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's got two wheels and then it's not tall, right,
So they have it setting on a table which has
four wheels on it. Six wheels were required to shoot
a gun.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Now some had the base had wheels, so the Gatling
gun had tires.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, there's a little bit of a difference. Yeh, you're
right now, that's true. Yeah, it's like bludgeon and staff.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
But the thing I found so like a little cannon
when you first see it sitting there, because it's got
the wheels, and it's got it's on an angle and
it's a big round you know. I just thought, well,
it got them a little cannon here. It looks like
the kind of might shoot off at a football game
when the team scores a touchdown. Boom. But no, it
was a gatling gun and we got to play with it.
(03:30):
The thing I.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Found the most remarkable about it, as soon as I
walked in, I could tell it wasn't made in our
city because they had tires, but it didn't have spinning rims.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
No fancy rims, no spinners, no elbows or whatever they
call them, things that stick out.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
They make them in Indiana. I don't know if that's
where they always made them, but that's where this one
was made.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
H Yeah, I didn't get to know the maker of
the gun real well. But I didn't get to shoot
the thing. It will spit some lead out of the paper.
Target was kind of pointless because you know, first time
you crank that thing a couple of times, it just
shredded the paper completely.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Billy had describes it correctly, and then also galling guns
sort of taught me a lesson I started already. And
it was a reminder about how social media works, because
a lot of us posted this video on social media.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And it looks great on social media.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You see us tune it up, we're all smiling, we're
laughing as we're cranking the thing. What you don't see
is it keeps jamming, and we kept getting frustrated. We
didn't post that on social media. Yeah, no need for that.
It's kind of boring. It reminded me of a chubby
girl and a pair of form fitting yoga pants.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah. You ever see the video.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
They like the chunky girl with the big gut, and
then she puts on the yoga pants and it just
turns it into curves.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You're like, wow, she's very curvy. Uh huh. And they
puts the point of the pants. That's why they wear them.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
That's the thing about social media. Billy had on social media.
Everybody in the comment section was like cool. What they
didn't know was pull the pants down. Well, yeah, it's
sort of like shooting. You ever shoot an Who's easy?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Shooting and Oosy's fun for about three seconds. On the
fourth or fifth second, you basically lose control.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Of this thing. Yeah, fully automatic. It wants to jump
around a lot, and it's kind of small. Yeah, hard
to hang on too.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And that's when you realize, as a gun enthusiast, semi
automatics more than enough. You don't really need automatic. I mean,
I get it. Somebody's already writing an angry email, Teddy,
how dare.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You you live? You can't say it ain't fun though?
It's fun? Yeah, but does it is it practical? That's
the tricky part. It would be with the gatling gun. Now,
I think the gatling gun would look good if you had,
let's say, a two story house. Sure, and you got
a big picture window they call him whatever, on the
second floor of the front of your house. So people
(05:45):
that drive up in the driveway or just cruising by
on the road, they look up, you see a gatling
gun in the window.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, they ought to know right there, path. All right,
here's my million dollar idea for the morning. I'm gonna
give it away for free if someone will use it.
This is happened many times on the show. Ever since
Eat West, Move Around More, we've been giving away a
million dollar ideas.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And we should have held onto that one. Yeah, who
would have been so rich?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Because it looks like an old, tiny coffee grinder and
gun enthusiasts generally tend to be the kind of people
that love coffee, Isn't it kind of obvious somebody should
make a gatling gun coffee grinder and make a thing
you put the beans in. It looks like a gatling gun,
but you're just grinding up the coffee.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's a million dollars a dear right there. So he
just handed it out to people.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It's stupid, But if you saw that in a gift shop,
you'd buy one, right. No, it was chrome or bronze
or something all of the above, you know, and they'd
look good in your kitchen. Steve's got a knife set
in his kitchen.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It looks like it's like the shape of a man
and he's getting stabbed and the knives go into the
body of the man. In the different areas. Now mine
is silver. We have a friend in Mandeville who has
a black one. It's the first one I saw and
I was like, I really think that's interesting. Where'd you
get it? And he told me does it come in
(07:02):
different colors? And it actually does comes in silver. I
think red. And you know, it depends on the core
of your kitchen, I'm assuming is why you would choose
the black one. Is that why? I'm sure that's why.
Oh thank god that I was really uncomfortable for a minute.
That's a good pass on that, because if he chose black,
(07:22):
knowing maybe that's all they had. The other one sold
out and you really wanted it, mad No, I get that.
It's gotta look, it's got to make sense in your kitchen.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I get that, you know, because I have black countertops,
and I you know, I would want something to compliment that.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Of course, yeah, you need to get your hands on that.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But then if you had the black countertops, would you
what it makes sense to have the black knives. It's
too much black might just disappear up there, They just
blend right in.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What am I saying?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You can't have too much black? Too much black? Hmm,
there's really no way. You cannot sound racist talking about this,
whether you get.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
The black or probably why we should change the subject
real quick. And I'm not saying we were right or
wrong about this. That ain't what this is about. We
did make some predictions, and we told you we had
some suspicions, and now so do the people in the Bahamas.
There's been a Bahama boat twist. Yeah. I heard the
husband of the missing lady is now in police custody,
(08:18):
which are something like they should have just s he
was arrested, but they'd like to use more words than
he's in police custody, mainly because the missing woman's not
Nancy what's her face? The other missing woman, the Bahama
missing woman, not the Tucson missing woman. Because the Bahama
boat lady, her daughter mouthed off about how the husband,
(08:42):
which I'm assuming is not her dad. She says, you know,
they never say her dad. He just said the husband
he had made some threats in the past. Now I'm
sure he will tell you that was That was just
a bunch of talk in the heat of the moment.
You know, you get angry at somebody office, damn boat
throwed somebody off the boat. He's real specific. And then
(09:04):
later she fell off of a boat and disappeared, and
they said the current was pulling her away from the boat.
And I know everybody remembers that happened to Tom Hanks
and his buddy Wilson. That's right. Well, when Wilson went
overboard and Tom Hanks noticed, he's like, come back, come back,
(09:28):
and the current was taking him away, and he didn't,
you know, jump overboard and go save Wilson.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
And apparently neither did this husband. So Brian Hooker's the
guy's name. He's fifty eight or fifty nine, and depending
on which report you're looking at, his wife, Lynnette Hooker,
fifty five.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They're from Michigan. They were down in the Bahamas on
a boat.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He claims she fell overboard and took the boat he's
with her, causing the engine to cut off.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, and he would have fired it right up and
just pulled right up to her and rescued her. But
they told, you know, don't keep the keys, but she
didn't listen. He got arrested yesterday. He's being questioned by authorities.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No charges have been publicly announced, which really means he
was detained, not arrested.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I he is in police custody. That's the way they
put it.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And the Coastguard is now open to criminal investigation.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Uh I will admit.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
When this news first dropped, I immediately said, look, we don't
know that he did anything, don't blame him.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Is post women fall out of boat more than once.
I'll bet somebody listening right now knows a woman who
fell out of a boat. But you know they put
her right back in. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And then when they the park came out about how
he's threatened to throw her.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Off the boat before. Sure, that does not look good.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Once you've done that to your spouse, you probably just
shouldn't get on a boat together.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know, you got a good point. Maybe just don't,
just don't.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It's Thursday, Thursday, Thursday.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Look that you used to get a jump on the
weekend and start drinking. You drink wont and Johnson Network
Brazil has a Brazilian pounds of coffee.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
We do import a lot of coffee, but not as
much as we import workers from foreign countries.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
With those h one B visas, maybe they should all
bring coffee with them, you know, throw a backpack on,
load it with four or five pounds of coffee beans
and come on in.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, frisk they didn't do that. Frisco, Texas. You ever
been it's a hotbed yep for people making complaints about
H one B visas. Right, Apparently there's a lot of
people there that are not from America doing jobs that
Americans could do.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And if you look around on the line, what are
they complaining about, Well, they want the jobs to go
to Americans.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh I thought the visitors or the new the new
Americans were complaining about it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
No, no, no, people are complaining that the new Americans
have all the jobs.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now. Yeah, they said, you know, we wanted the jobs.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There was a report that just came out claiming that,
oh we actually it's one hundred and fifty thousand new jobs.
Did you see that on Friday? They said it was
higher than expected, the new job report. It helped the
economy a bit. But then when you pick at the
scab a little bit, you realize these jobs did not
go to Americans. No, that they like to manipulate the
numbers that way. More than half of these jobs went
(12:14):
to people that are not from the United States.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Huh, yeah, well they're here now, they're here now, Yeah,
they're the new Americans. Please make them feel welcome. Well,
what we're being told, well that's what they did. Yeah, yeah,
welcome immigrants, Welcome to the United States. If we're showing
my old job that it's kind of odd that they
even want jobs when they get here because the government's
given old stuff away for free.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Somalians have figured out a way to avoid that, you know,
the work thing, but still get the money. Sure, it
was very impressive what they've done. I mean, it sucks
for us, but for them it's you know, yeah, if
you could go to a foreign country and accomplish what
they've accomplished with no punishment at all.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Well you'd be in a pretty weird country, wouldn't you. Yeah,
it's hard to imagine what the world to see and
when they look at us these days.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
In the meantime, a family in Los Angeles found a
skull during an Easter egg hunt. But it actually could
have been worse, Billy ed could have been worse. Yeah,
they could have found peeps. Oh god, Yeah, nobody needs that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I don't get why people eat those and they you know,
there's a reason they only have it once a year.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's not good. It's esthetically pleasing if it was. If
it was good, they'd do it all the time because
they want your money. Could the same be said about
the McRib Well, maybe it's not your go to thing,
but when it's available, you know it's for a limited
time only, so then you go, I better get that
walla can right, shamrock shake? Would you? Would you eat
(13:38):
a shamrock shake in October? No? Good? Just don't feel right,
does it. I don't know. It's not bad. It's a
good shake, but it's not amazing. The fact that they
tell you can only get it for a limited time
supposed to make you want it more, and it works
for some people, some people not so much. What about breakfast, now,
let's have breakfast. Sure, I'm for it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well you know the places that don't serve breakfast after
ten thirty?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh those places, But.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Then they got places that do off. They'll brag, we
cain' give you breakfast all day, that's right. Do you
think anybody's getting breakfast outside of that window?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I am really I do it. Yeah, no, I'm not
at fast food. But uh, you know, like you go
over to the grill not far from here, just down
the road, little waste there. Sure they don't advertise, so
you know, no matter what to name. Uh yeah, they
got uh. You know, you can get breakfast all day.
You can get lunch at breakfast you don't do I
mean you can go in there and order fried eggs,
or or you can have a hamburger steak with onions
(14:32):
and mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
One of my favorite flax is going to an average restaurant,
order a burger and get a fried egg on it.
Oh yeah, because you can almost always do that, but
people forget sometimes it's.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Got to be runny. If they put a fried egg
on there in the yolk is solid, It's like, what's
the point. I'm a medium runny guy. Media got to
be some running I'm not. You don't want the white
part runny, you know, make the white part right over medium.
You're supposed to say, is that right? That's that's how
you order a steak, ain't it? But no, no, not me.
I order a steak either rare or medium rare. But
(15:02):
you see to use the word medium on a steak.
That's true, But I don't know if you use the medium.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
But then there's also medium, there's medium rare, and there's
medium mediums too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's not that's overcooked. To me, it's too dry. And
here's another thing.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I don't think I'm better than black people, but all
my black friends order their steaks well done.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And that's not a way to eat it is. That's
just a waste. That's a waste of a good cow
right there. I don't get that either.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was in a real nice steakhouse not long ago
and they offered me a steak sauce, and I thought,
why is there something wrong with the steak?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Was it a one? I gotta tell you, no matter
how great a steak is, a one is still good.
Mm like a one on pretty much anything. You can
put it on a hamburger, you can dip your French
fries in it, you can have it with fish. I mean,
a one ain't just steak sauce. That's just me. You
you live your life, but don't criticize me for mine.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I actually think a one is better on not a steak.
I think it's better on a burger. But you remember,
we've talked about this before. They invented it during the Civil.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
War, Ain't that something speaking of? Did you know what
day it is? Is it a civil War anniversary day. Well,
today's the day they ended the very uncivil war. It's
the anniversary of the signing of the thing at the
courthouse in Virginia. And so all right, we've killed enough
(16:19):
of you, and you've killed enough of us. Let's get
let's get back to regular business. And so, yeah, it
was eighteen sixty five. I'm sure you knew that that
they Uh sure we didn't know that they called off
the Civil War. And then on the exact same day,
just one hundred years later, they opened the Astrodome. Wow,
(16:41):
how about that? Just one hundred years after the Civil War,
they said, the eighth wonder of the world was opened
up to the public. Come on in, enjoy. And today
it's home to millions of rates. Oh yeah, and a
few cats that are having a glorious time. Yeah, I
wonder about that. If you're a cat, you want to
go after mice and rats, But what if you're outnumbered? Well,
(17:04):
I guarantee you they're outnumbered. Yeah. Yeah, they probably roll
roam around in pairs. Now, you know, like buddy system,
watch my back, more like more like a scorpion.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Have you ever heard that if you ever see one scorpion,
look out that means there's another one nearby. They go
in pairs, which is kind of romantic if you think about.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It, unless they're gay. You know, don't say anything if
they are, because you know they'll get you. See. I
don't really have any way in knowing if it's two
dudes or two checks.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
But if I was with a girl and we saw
a scorpion, the way that I would soften the news
is explain to her, well, you know they're in love, yeah,
and then she might think, oh, that's cute.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But I still want you to smash them with your boot.
And did you know that when you smash them with
your boot that you're calling more scorpions? They got that
thing I don't know, like bees or amps or something
where when you when you kill them, when you smoosh them.
That's why they said, if you got a scorpion in
your house, take it outside to kill it, because wherever
(17:58):
you kill it, it's sending out, you know, a message,
Wake up, all use of scorpions in the area. Come
a running. I'm in trouble. Is that how it works.
It's like sonar for scorpions, That's how it works. I
always thought you weren't supposed to do it because it
might lay eggs everywhere. Well, then stomp them them eggs too,
None of them scorpions. They put the word out on you,
(18:20):
all right, But what if those eggs are over medium? Hmm,
it's gonna be hard to tell. They're really small. Why
would someone do a radio show on a Thursday Walton
and Johnson Radio Network,
