Speaker 1 (00:00):
Comedy show is officially sold out. Let it be known.
It has been said, it is official. Hold up, certainly
looks that way. I will admit we were a little we're
a little disorganized, but it looks like from the tickets
we gave away the tickets some of our friends purchased.
Just doing some fast math here we it's gonna be

(00:20):
a packed house on Sunday, so it looks like fun.
You know who won't be there? Did he? Oh? Yeah?
Did he's in prison? Right?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, Well he's gonna he's gonna get sentenced officially on Friday.
The prosecutors are asking for eleven years. They say that
is a significant term and will act as a deterrent
and show that even the rich and powerful are not
above the all unless they're in Congress.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Of course, didn't They only get him on two things,
two counts of prostitution. Was it soliciting a prostitute?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
The severity of his crime is a huge factor. But
also they note that he has absolutely shown no remorse
for any his nefarious activities.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well how do they know? Did they ask him what? Oh? Yeah?
Multiple times? Apparently he's teaching a business course in prison
to some of the inmates, and they said it's a
twenty five page business course. Now I don't know much
about I don't have a master's in business or anything,
but I'm pretty sure it takes more than twenty five
pages to teach business. When you think you don't know, though,
do you? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
And now his people, you know, he got his own attorneys,
they'll say, in eleven years, that's crazy. What we ought
to be sentencing him too is fourteen months, which would
be that's time, sir. Basically, so he all to walk
now time, So we're going to go somewhere between zero
and eleven years.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Okay, okay, so six years, then five years, and we
will find out on Friday. I guess the weirdest thing
about it is he's in the one line of work
where this might actually help. Yeah. That's sad, isn't it.
With sales and stuff like that, you get, you know,
a big profile street cred. I guess for crime that
wouldn't work for us. But if I went to prison

(02:04):
for something, it wouldn't help this. Sh'll know that for
a fact.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Until you try, you know, don't just say no, it
won't work, so don't try.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Well, what let's be the guys that try try to
commit a crime or try.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Let's let's just try to see once you go to jail,
we'll we'll see how things go with the show.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Look, I admit out loud right now in front of
our large audience, that I am an outlaw. But when
I say an outlaw, I mean like five over the
speed lim at you know, as a.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Crept through a stop sign once, Yeah, didn't stop, fully.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Parked for fifteen minutes without paying for it, got out
in time. Well you need to be doing time, Okay,
but what would it How many years would that be?
You know, that's not up to us, is it? Last night?
Wheel of Fortune?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't know if you still or ever watch that
had the biggest winner in the history of the show.
That show has been online for a long time. A
lady from Connecticut went home with one million, thirty five
thousand dollars uh trips to Montana, uh Tokyo. She solved

(03:06):
the phrase which was maybe I shouldn't spoil it for
if you haven't seen it yet, maybe I'll just.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Let it play out for you. A friend of mine
was telling me yesterday that he would never want to
go to Montana and I thought, why so, there's nothing
there to do? And I said, Steve loves Montana, and
he goes, that makes sense. I have never been to Montana.
Where'd you go Wyoming?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I was in Idaho recently. You've never been to Wyoming.
All right, I've been to Wyoming.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's what it was, Wyoming. Yeah, and this isn't That's
pretty much the same thing. I honestly didn't know that
those were two different states until right now. I always
kind of thought, and what do we need to Dakota's for?
And then while we're and while we're cleaning up a little,
let's go up the east coast here, Rhode Island, what
is it? Maryland? What else you got? Delaware? That's one state? Yeah,
just squeeze a lot, maybe five states or whatever made sense?

(03:52):
They don't. Yeah, knock that out right now. We could
fix that. New Hampshire, Sorry, New Hampshire, you're part of Delaware. Now, Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
One of the most popular actresses in Hollywood right now
isn't human. Her name is Tilly, and she seems to
be a female, but she's not.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Tilly is not. Oh yeah, we were talking about this earlier.
We were going to talk about it I'm glad you
brought this up. Tilly Norwood. People are pested about this.
Have you seen her?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
She's really cute, She is completely a I and she's
looking to get representation from a Hollywood talent agency and
I'm sure she will.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So here's the best part of this. Now there are
Hollywood celebrities saying they will blacklist any agency that works
with Tilly, And to that, I say, do it. Yeah, good,
come on, yes, please, you're telling me pretty soon we're
gonna have people starring in movies that aren't gonna shame
us because we want to own guns or keep up
old statues.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I won't tell us what they think, and that's the
only way to think. And if you don't think like
they do, then don't watch their shows. Well, yeah, I'm
over that.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Over the next five year, you understand how much movies
and TV are going to change. It used to be
if you wanted to make a big, blockbuster Game of Thrones,
Jurassic Parks, star Wars, something with big effects that you
would take millions and millions of dollars. You'd need all
these different actors, stunt guys, all these different You don't
need that anymore. AI can do it all. AI can
make all of that happen. The average scene in a movie,

(05:20):
the average still camera shot is about eight seconds long.
AI right now on your phone can produce ten second
long videos. And they could do anything you want. You
can have a car drive off a cliff, or a
dinosaur can eat Billy d or anything you want. Cool.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, exactly, remember that lawyer. It was in the crapper
when that dinosaur got Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
So, now what does this really mean for Hollywood? It
means the only thing Hollywood's got is good writing, and
they don't even have that. No, there's not all of them. Mean,
anybody out there, any average Tom, Dick and Harry, any
average Joe or Jane who has a good idea for
a movie, could sit there and play with their phone
for long enough, and they could come up with the
movie and eventually edit it together. Probably finished the whole

(06:01):
thing in a week, the editing and everything, and suddenly
what do you need Steven Spielberg for?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
You can imagine the actors and their union representatives are not.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Happy about this.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Matter of fact, sag Aftra has come out against the
AI actress several especially female you know, the actresses have
come out and they're very upset, including Emily Blunt. You're
familiar with her work, I'm sure and if not, you
you know, didn't miss anything. It sh'll be fine. And

(06:33):
Killy is not an actor. It's a character generated by
a computer program.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Right.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
They said that that acting and the creativity that they
believe in should remain human centered.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
They took polling dad in they figured out, this is
what people want a female actress to look like. This
is what she looked like. I ain't seen her. This
is how they want her to act. This is what
Hang on. I'll put her on the screen here for you.
She looks like. Here are two real actresses that are mad.
Ignore these two women. It's that woman in the middle.
That's Tilly. And it was the one on the right
there that was mad. A real actress doesn't matter somebody else.

(07:10):
Hang on, and if you move this to the one
twenty six mark, here's Tilly. Let me put her on
the screen there. She is right, waving at you. Right.
She's pretty. She's got big brown eyes. She's pretty, but
she's not intimidatingly good looking.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
You.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
No, she's just the perfect female, attractive, but not so
attractive that she makes you.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Nervous, and her appeal, her charisma, they immediately pop off
the screen.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Very sweet. She looks sweet and lovely, the girl next
door but prettier.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Now what we're dealing with here, it's such an interesting
time for this to happen. Are you aware of what
they're doing to jk Rowling?

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Right?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh? Boy? Am I aware of that? The pendulum of
culture has swung back in the other direction. And all
these people that were the stars of Harry Potter, who
have denigrated and vilified the very person that made them
all rich celebrities since they were young children, are now
suddenly changing their tone a little. They're saying, look, I
may not agree with jk Rowling, but you know she's

(08:06):
a good pert. We love her. No, you guys have
aligned yourselves with people that wanted her dead, And now
you guys are trying to walk it back because suddenly
you realize your stupid idea about how men can be
women is suddenly unpopular now, you guys, Oh, suddenly maga
and right wing conservativism. That's what's normal. Oh look, what's okay?
We just had to change your heart, No big deal.

(08:28):
Jk Rowling had the one thing that none of these
people can satisfy that none of them have in the
world of AI. She had good ideas. Right. I'm not
a fan of Harry Potter. I never read the book,
I never watched the movies, but I'm pretty sure people
liked it. I'm pretty sure it was a good idea
for a show or a movie or round it into
a bunch of movies. I didn't look at them, but
they're out there, so yeah, it must have been popular.

(08:49):
So what did Emma Watson have? She could read lines
off a sheet of paper, So what Tilly can do that? Tilly,
that's the same thing. What's the Harry Potter kid's name?
What's his name? He didn't like JK. Rowling? Harry? No,
the actor? What's his name? It doesn't matter, nobody knows.
It really doesn't matter now because now we can replace
you with a computer. The only thing that had value

(09:10):
in this entire equation was the woman that came up
with the ideas. Right, that's the only thing the computer
can't do is come up with genius ideas. And she's
the one thing that they hated, and she's the one
thing that they were so mad at.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
You.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Wow, I think JK. Rowling won nice.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I just had a stuffed Let me help you with that,
Walton and Johnson. Oh the huge, huge, All right, So
the comedy shows sold out. That's it. We're way over capacity.
I think we're gonna have to get some extra chairs.
It's gonna be a packed house. Tell them some people
they shouldn't come. No, No, but you know, do you
have to bring a chair from home? It wouldn't hurt. No,

(09:49):
I don't think so. I think we'll figure it out.
I'm sure it'll pack it on top of your ice
chist and roll it all on in there.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's gonna be fun time. Now, considering that the Texans
and the Saints both suck this season, you won't be
missing anything on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, And besides, it's like what five, five thirty in
the afternoon. Whatever you felt like getting done by then
should be done by then.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, it's gonna be a blast, dude. So Chad Praythro's
the headliner, Jesse Payton's featured comedian special guest Eric Knoles,
hosted by The Walton and Johnson Show. Memes like you're.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Selling it, but you just said we have no more tickets.
We don't have any more ticket, What do you keep
selling it for? Rubbing it in your face? Ah for
those of you who snoozed and losed, okay lost, but
you know it didn't rhyme.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
We've been doing this for over ten years. Can you
believe this has been going on? I can remember when
it was twenty people in a tiny room in our
old office building, and when the management found out we
were given out free beer, they told us to stop
doing You're gonna have to get you a place. And
then we moved into it here no more, and then
we moved it to Va Hall's bourbon distilleries, you know,
the beer breweries, mostly a lot of places where they

(10:53):
don't normally have comedy shows, and right wingers came out
in droves to watch these comedy shows. We've never not
sold one out. And sure it's about the comedy.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I think it's about the giving, the concern they have
for the warriors that need the wheelchairs.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean, can't it be both? Because I think that
people on our side are so underserved. We were just
talking in the last segment about how awful Hollywood is
and how ai stealing anybody's jobs is sad, but not
as sad when it's them. You know, remember when Metallica
is mad about Napster, They said, it's affecting my lifestyle.
What's your lifestyle? I have three private planes, and I

(11:31):
have a house in every country on Earth.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Sleep until noon every day, and party with rock stars. Yeah, oh,
or babies.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
You're kind of making Napster look like the good guy
here when you explain it that way. Huh. And So, anyway,
fast forward to twenty twenty five. All of a sudden,
we're in this weird little corner of history where right wing,
normal American loving white guys from Middle America are what's
cool in comedy right now, that's right. And so we
booked the biggest venue we've ever booked, and we sold

(12:00):
it out.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Also, you'll to bring at Ai girl Tilly Tilly, Yeah,
nor would maybe she could do a special appearance.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Let's have a actress lady.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Is she an actress or is she a comedian? She's
an actress, she's a personality. I guess she's an entity.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
She is a computer generated entity that will read the
words you put in front of her, just like a
real actor.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
You know, you know what we're gonna have to figure
out between now and Sunday, we're gonna have to write
some jokes. Oh yeah, you didn't do any of that yet.
Huh No, we're gonna have to figure out how to
do comedy. Well, good luck to you. I'm sure boy
you're going You're in on this, You're part of it.
I'll be right there on the front row enjoying my beverage.
Well yeah, it'll be great anyway. So thank you to
everybody that supported this event. And you know what it

(12:46):
will help us do is pay for a bunch of wheelchairs,
which was the whole point in the first place. Even
if all the jokes sucked, we're still winners because we're
helping disabled people to deserve it. Yeah, it feels good. There.
I did something. You know that's now I could just
coast till the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
You just did a thing. As that guy over in
England that does the farming that always talks.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
About I know, I'm a scumbag. Most of the women
that have dated me hate me now, and I been
blocked by a lot of politicians and celebrities. And but
when I get to the end of the year and
I look back at what I did. We bought some wheelchairs,
so we're not so bad.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
No, you know, yeah, probably put that on your your
internet dating site.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
See if that improves the quality of the ladies. I
can't use that anymore. You really can't. No, If you
if you kept fishing in the same pond and every
fish you pulled out of the pond bit one of
your fingers off, wouldn't you go to a different pond
at some points? Right? What's a trigger fish? Now? It's
not a piranha? But I could have gone with piranha?
Is it like garballs? I love garballs? Yet not even Well,

(13:49):
those are good, dude, we should serve those at the
comedy show on Sunday. I thought we were garballs. We
got to get some guard. Matter of fact, I gotta
I got a hook up for that. You got a
guy for guard. I gotta guy. No, that's amazing. You
have a guy for everything.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh yeah, that's incredible.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
He's my boy, all right. Fortune magazine did a story
on an emerging trend in the workplace, no shoes allowed.
More companies are allowing employees to work shoe free. Leave
your shoes at the door. It's supposed to create a
more relaxed and collaborative work environment to be a little
stinky too. I think that's disgusting. I have no interest
in smelling your gross feet.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
And what if you weren't wearing socks, then they're just
bear feet. That's worse than flip flops. And I don't
think you should wear flip flops out public. And you
know the problem with that is at the beach. As
grossed out as we are by that, there's going to
be somebody in the office that they're gonna like it
a little too much. That's gross too.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Anyway, my big hero this week is still Polk County
Sheriff Grady Judge. He's a man making a very playful,
lighthearted statement this week about what went down at that McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
We expect more people who used to work for I'm
embarrassed for his family. But make no mistake, you at
like a McNutt at McDonald's and you make drunk saying
mcugly things to the girls and putting a child's life
in danger, you're going to jail. Mcjail every mcpie.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
A retired police officer in Florida, was arrested after insulting
workers at a McDonald's drive through and then fleeing from
law enforcement. And I gotta tell you once again, good
old Sheriff Judd over there, Grady Judd, he's the guy.
What's he gonna do when he's not sheriff anymore? Does
that guy run for governor?

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Well?

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I don't know, but he ought to do something. Name
a more famous sheriff anywhere in America than Sheriff JD. Grudd.
What's isn't Grady Judd? People famous? It's like Captain Clay Higgins.
You just love this guy. He's guaranteed to be in
Congress or something or something. Yeah, gonna be in charge
of stuff, you know what. Hey, happy birthday, john don't

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
