Speaker 1 (00:00):
I mean, something's about to happen this Yeah, beetle juice,
(00:02):
beetle juice, beetle u.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh god, he did it. You know what, it's all
right before Halloween. You can get away with stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I feel like we'd have a good time with Beetlejuice
on the show. You seem like a pretty pretty fun dude.
It seems like he'd fit in here. You know, he
wouldn't be the smelliest person in the room.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
But don't forget he gets a little anxious, if you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, that's true. All miss students stood for thirty minutes
to honor Erica Kirk.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yesterday last night. Okay, is that a long time to
stay in I feel like it is. Yeah, just you know,
people waited in line longer than that. It seems like
thirty minutes. I mean, you know, Catholics stand up that
long and chirt sometimes, I.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Know, and then we have to get on our knees
and beg for forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Up down, up down. You people should have pretty good
leg muscles, though.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You gotta say, honestly, it probably really helped me out
with squats.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Let's see Popo Leo in the news today. The message
of Nostra Aya Tate as urgent as.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Ever, wasn't that the original vampire?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Sixty years ago with the publication of Nostra Aya Tate
the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on the Relation of the
Church to Non Christian religions.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh, I had nothing to do with vampires.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
A seed of hope for inter religious dialogue was planted,
said Popelio the fourteenth. Today, your presence bears witness that
this seed has grown into a mighty tree, its branches
reaching far and wide, offering shelter and bearing the rich
fruits of understanding, friendship, cooperation, and peace. But we still
don't understand that story in the Bible about the fig tree.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, that's the tricky one. Yeah, what is that about.
I thought it was a cherry tree. No, that's George Washington. Yeah,
that was earlier.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, the fake tree story is even more confusing.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Was that the fire that wouldn't go out, couldn't couldn't
put the burning fig tree out?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
That was a bush? Yeah, that was a bush, right,
he had a flaming bush.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Billy d Ooh my goodness. Yeah, the redhead.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
No, you got what do you guys, guys, now, are you.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Talking about Kenny last? Femous of you?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The fig tree story is a parable about a barren
fig tree or the miraculous cursing of a fig tree
by Jesus.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Why did he curse the fig tree? Why?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Oh, why the cursing of the fig tree? They say
it was symbolic or something. I don't know anyway, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
There's something you want to look up in your own
time and do your own research on, because that's going
to bog the show down and we don't need that.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh excuse me, I'm trying to save your immortal soul
over here.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Here's Dan. But there's bigger things afoot. You know, we've
got ratings and sponsors and all that kind of stuff
to consider.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We just told you that the nuclear war's coming. You're
worried about ratings right now? Well, you know it's trained
into us at an early age. When have you ever
been worried about ratings on this show? People usually tune
into this show just because they think we're a total
train wreck, and that reminds me, oh yeah, they're about
to ruin aol.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Aooh, I immediately transpose it to AOC in my head AOL.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The dial up went away this month? You're aware of that?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
AM. I thought America Online is what it used to
stand for.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And now a group of beautiful people with delicious food
who can't be trusted to run an organization because they
don't show up anywhere on time have purchased AOL.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Would you talk about the Italians?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What did you think? I met mister O and I
know where y'all going these days. Everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
If there's one race of people who's stereotypically known to
not show up places on time, it's the Italians. Everyone
knows that. Yes, Clearsday technology company Bending Spoons, you've never
heard of it is buying AOL from the private equity
firm Apollo Global Management, the latest and string of ownership
changes for the Internet pioneer. Bending Spoons is based in
(03:44):
Italy and owns note organizing app ever Note you know
for note organizing your notes? Right, And they also own
a photo sharing app, Remini, you know, the very popular
photo sharing app Remini.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You're sure that's not a sauce? I think the ragou
put ramini on penna and oh, you've got quite a deal.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
There, Pennay penny. They recently carried a two point eight
billion dollar debt financing deal to help fund the AOL
and other investments. And I will tell you, if you're
a bank that just gave someone two point eight billion
dollars to buy AOL, you probably don't deserve to exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah. I got to find out who that was, and
maybe we can borrow money from them too if they
they seem to be giving money out for just no
reason at all.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
If you have money in that bank, don't That would
be my advice, exactly get it out of there. Ques.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So AOL generates about four hundred million a year in
annual earnings, how for interest, taxes, depreciation, all that. They
reported revenue in the north five hundred million before all that. Now,
if you've bought I don't know if you want to
do the division here live on the air, but you
divide that two point eight billion dollar debt by four
(04:57):
hundred million a year. Still going to take them a
while to cover their nut, as they say. Always love
it when guys talk like that. Can you cover your nut?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, you gotta cover your nut.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I know what that means.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I love how the Wall Street Journal reports on business deals.
Listen to this little blurb here in the last paragraph
of the article. Once known for its aim chat function
and ubiquitous CDs offering a set number of free hours
for Internet access, AOL reached peak brand recognition with a
prominent role in the nineteen ninety eight rom com You've
(05:29):
Got Mail, And it's been been ever since the company
stopped its dial up internet service last month. It's true,
do you guys, you're not millennials, You probably don't remember AIM.
AIM was this thing later on in the AOL years.
You AIM had an Internet chat program you could use
to talk to other people.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I don't even like talking to people in the real world. Well,
I don't want to chat on the Internet with a
bunch of fake people.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
AIM stood for AOL instant messenger, and it wasn't fake people.
You'd use it to talk to kids in your school.
It was like early social media for my generation.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I didn't get into all that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh, AOL was where it was at d for about
that long, and your and your AIM name was always
something like doom Slayers seven five, six, three two nine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Wow, there were a lot of doom slayers on the Internet. Yeah,
there were tons of them.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I had to pick a big number, number one Nirvana
fan five, seventeen, eleven, twelve or whatever. Anyway, Oh, that
reminds me aol. Speaking of stuff from yesterday for Throwback Thursday,
for the sake of rock and roll history, did you
know the first ever Nirvana song played on the radio
was actually Love Buzz from their ninety debut Bleach Shut
(06:41):
Out of Here. It was a seven inch vinyl pressing
of the song. It is currently being auctioned off, and
wouldn't you like to know how much money it is
going for?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, it doesn't matter how much. I mean, that's that's priceless, right,
You can't put a price how much? How much?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
A guy named Scott Vanderpool from sub Records got in
nineteen eighty eight test pressing as soon as it arrived
in the mail, then turned it around and played it
on a Seattle radio show. That's up for auction as
we speak. It's going for ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'll give them ten thousand dollars and five five dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It feels like this would age well because I've noticed
that the Zoomers love wearing Nirvana shirts, even though they
can't name five songs.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It instantly makes them feel like they're cool.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh, you're a Nirvana fan named three times he went
to the emergency room for almost overdosing and dying.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well there was those three times. Yeah, that's right. I
don't know what that goes in there. It's weird and
pissed off whatever it is. Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
I have a friend who's range.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I have a friend who's very religious but also has
a dirty mouth. And in response to the story about
the figs, I just got this text message, uh oh
next to the story about Jesus saying, f them figs,
my favorite John twenty four. The two were running together,
but the other disciple outramed Peter. This is a factual
(08:06):
account of two disciples, likely John and Peter, racing to
the empty tomb. The other disciple, disciple was often identified
as John, is described as running faster, basically John talking
smack fast as f boy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay, I'm not sure what any of that means. I
didn't follow it very well.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's because you don't love God.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Must be it not like you. This one shout out to.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All my foul mouth Christians out there, just because you
say a lot of dirty potty mouth doesn't mean you
don't love our Lord and Savior.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You know that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So I'm talking about just saying, just.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Saying, just keep saying it, just over and over.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They got an election going on right now in Denmark though,
yead you know the Dutch, I don't know them. And
according to the BBC, there's two groups of people running.
There's a centrist party and a right wing party.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That's the ones that wear the wooden shoes, I think. So. Yeah,
and those people can't come live over here because you
know they're gonna move right on top of you. Yeah,
but I just told you they're gonna they're gonna rent
the uh the apartment right above your head, and wooden
shoes is just gonna be stumping around all damn day.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay, but what would you rather have upstairs? Somebody in
some wooden shoes or some socialists.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Probably end up both. How about what would be wrong
with a young woman who's who's just getting her feet
wet and in the stripping business. Uh, still a little shy,
still a little nervous, you know, needs a fatherly figure
to put an arm around her, your shoulders and tell
her that things are gonna work out okay for you. You're young,
(09:35):
you're just getting started in life. And and you know
I'm here for you anytime you need a fatherly figure,
you know, to put an arm around you and make
you feel better. And I and you know that that's
the kind of situation I'd like to find myself in.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't think she's gonna be able to live in
my building, Billy had You gotta have good credit to
get in there, right, Yeah, they're not gonna let some
stripper with no employe in a history.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Who's in charge down at the leasing office? Is it
women or men?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Well, the units are owned by people. There's no leasing
on it.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But they can they lease their their unit if they
want to. Yeah, you can, yeah, and then that would
be up to the individual. You know, strippers have a
way of talking people into doing things. I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Did you know there's an island where people go to
cheat death sure in a pop up city off the
coast of Honduras. Longevity startups are trying to fast track
anti aging drugs. The question we're asking today in the
New Republic or here on the Walton and Johnson Show,
is this the future of medical research?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No? How do you know, Well, it's I just I
can tell you it. It's not I've been to the future.
I don't want to get into it because everybody looks
at you like you're weird, you know, But I've seen
the future and that's that's not it.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
There's an island called Rotan Roatan. It's an island in Honduras.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
They make ceagars down there.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You know, it is beautiful. I mean, it is just
a lovely place. Still after Melissa did she get anywhere
near there and didn't say anything about that. But in
the report here the detail how tech companies and BioResearch
companies are going there to experiment on drugs that are
supposed to keep you from being able to die. H yeah,
(11:15):
backed by the likes of Silicon Valley billionaires Peter Thiel, Sure,
Sam Altman, Mark Anderson. There's a company there called Prospera
found it in twenty seventeen, and it is essentially a
for profit district that is run by a business rather
than a government. According to the report here, this approach
to governance pays the way for research by allowing for
(11:38):
a regulatory choice, meaning that a biotech company could pick
its own.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Set of laws to follow. Okay, this is like everything,
like the same people that are harvest in baby blood
to keep themselves young and alive while the rest of
us just turn old and die. Oh Billy ed. It
doesn't just sound like the same people. What I'm thinking,
here's my question.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
What would you rather do a country where there are
no businesses running anything it's the government running everything. Or
live in a country where where private businesses control everything,
including the laws.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Wow, it's all or nothing with you, isn't it this
or that? No? In betweens, I do kind of want
to go check it out, like like long weekend. Yeah,
you don't want to like buy a place down there,
but maybe, you know, just get an Airbnb I would.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I feel like buying a house in Honduras is about investment.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I think you might be right about that.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Even in a lawless, corporatist island where a bunch of
technocrats are engaging in anti aging debauchery.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sure get there early, you know, I mean before you
get too old, because they don't want to even mess
with you at that point.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
If you'd told me this morning, I was going to
wake up and say that sentence. At some point, I
would not have believed you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But we just never know what the world is going
to offer up today. That's why we want to keep
waking up every morning. We want to see what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's true, you never know it's going to flop out
of your mouth, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And that the truth.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
What more you may coming in about the LSU coach,
well technically not coach here, but this guy says, I
think that math genius you had on the show in
the panties. Uh, okay, Well she shouldn't be the coach,
but can't we let her keep score? Yeah? Yeah, l
if you's gonna be undefeated, if she's our scorekeeper, she
(13:23):
is the scorekeeper. Indeed, it's eleven billion to three, we win.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yay, I like it. I like girl math. Okay, girl
math's kind of hot, you know what I mean? You
know better than the math we had. That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Because the math we had, mister oh, is what you
better believe all kind of racists. It's probably at Athemitic too,
all right? Well or is it a Semitic?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't know either. I just know this. Anytime anyone
criticizes Israel, they're an anti Semite. And anytime anyone says
anything even vaguely positive about a Jew, they're a zion
Those are the rules.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh that's hurtful. I know, it's that's the polarizing planet
we now live in. One out of every six Americans
thinks pets enjoy dressing up for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Mister Kenneth, they do. You can tell the difference. Immediately.
Put the little costumes on on my dog, Dick.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
What'd you get a little dick for his Halloween?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm going back. I'm going retro, going back with the
old hot dog. It was so popular. Just don't put
ketchup on him. Well, it's just just a it's a costume.
It already comes that way, you know. But I think
I actually came with mustard on it, so I can.
I can color it yellow, and you know, then we'll
be fine. He went as a ballerina one year, and
(14:40):
it seemed like the only time he wasn't thrilled by
his little little outfit. The little too too. I think
it was scratching him on his undercarriage.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
On his undercare. Oh that's terrible. Yeah, yeah, poor guy.
All right, Well, that being said, I do occasionally dress
up Melton in a costume. I think it's funny to
make him look like a dinosaur. Or he's got one
where he's the horse but there's a cowboy on his back.
That's always a funny thing to put them so good
and all it being said. On top of that, one
in six Americans thinking pets enjoy dressing up for Halloween.
(15:12):
Nearly a third have dressed up a pet or will
this year due. Are you shocked by any of that?
I'm a bit doesn't. I'm surprised it's that low. Really, Yeah,
you're probably right about that. Well, I for one, think
that animals wearing people clothing is the highest form of humor.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Now, monkeys is the best. You know, dogs ain't bad,
but if we ground up the rest of them monkeys
in Mississippi or wherever they are now, be sure, you know,
they get around pretty good. They swing through the trees
like like Tarzan. You dress them monkeys up, that'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
What would you dress up the monkey as for Halloween?
You know Billy a medical researcher.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh my god, that is funny. Get him a little
What do they call them things that they have around
their necks and stuff a stethoscope. Yeah, get him one
of them.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And then a little name tag that says with a
two lane university on it and a little white coat
and it's a doctor.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Incompetent or something like that. That'd be funny, right, And
maybe get him a stuffed monkey to carry around in
his hand. That's hilarious, mister, that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, that's a good ideas.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Baxkirt the beagle in the Tiny Shark fin Foon of
the Laps got hurt too, too again, Bella the postress
as a.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Bug at me, look a look at Okay, let's be honest.
Your doctor's a't care. You're not doing this for them.
You just wanted to post it on Instagram?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Walton M. Johnson
I mean, something's about to happen this Yeah, beetle juice,
(00:02):
beetle juice, beetle u.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh god, he did it. You know what, it's all
right before Halloween. You can get away with stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I feel like we'd have a good time with Beetlejuice
on the show. You seem like a pretty pretty fun dude.
It seems like he'd fit in here. You know, he
wouldn't be the smelliest person in the room.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
But don't forget he gets a little anxious, if you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, that's true. All miss students stood for thirty minutes

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yesterday last night. Okay, is that a long time to
stay in I feel like it is. Yeah, just you know,
people waited in line longer than that. It seems like

long and chirt sometimes, I.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Know, and then we have to get on our knees
and beg for forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Up down, up down. You people should have pretty good
leg muscles, though.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You gotta say, honestly, it probably really helped me out
with squats.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (00:55):

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So AOL generates about four hundred million a year in
annual earnings, how for interest, taxes, depreciation, all that. They
reported revenue in the north five hundred million before all that. Now,
if you've bought I don't know if you want to
do the division here live on the air, but you
divide that two point eight billion dollar debt by four
(04:57):
hundred million a year. Still going to take them a
while to cover their nut, as they say. Always love
it when guys talk like that. Can you cover your nut?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, you gotta cover your nut.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I know what that means.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I love how the Wall Street Journal reports on business deals.
Listen to this little blurb here in the last paragraph
of the article. Once known for its aim chat function
and ubiquitous CDs offering a set number of free hours
for Internet access, AOL reached peak brand recognition with a
prominent role in the nineteen ninety eight rom com You've
(05:29):
Got Mail, And it's been been ever since the company
stopped its dial up internet service last month. It's true,
do you guys, you're not millennials, You probably don't remember AIM.
AIM was this thing later on in the AOL years.
You AIM had an Internet chat program you could use
to talk to other people.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I don't even like talking to people in the real world. Well,
I don't want to chat on the Internet with a
bunch of fake people.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
AIM stood for AOL instant messenger, and it wasn't fake people.
You'd use it to talk to kids in your school.
It was like early social media for my generation.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I didn't get into all that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh, AOL was where it was at d for about
that long, and your and your AIM name was always
something like doom Slayers seven five, six, three two nine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Wow, there were a lot of doom slayers on the Internet. Yeah,
there were tons of them.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I had to pick a big number, number one Nirvana
fan five, seventeen, eleven, twelve or whatever. Anyway, Oh, that
reminds me aol. Speaking of stuff from yesterday for Throwback Thursday,
for the sake of rock and roll history, did you
know the first ever Nirvana song played on the radio
was actually Love Buzz from their ninety debut Bleach Shut
(06:41):
Out of Here. It was a seven inch vinyl pressing
of the song. It is currently being auctioned off, and
wouldn't you like to know how much money it is
going for?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Well, it doesn't matter how much. I mean, that's that's priceless, right,
You can't put a price how much? How much?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
A guy named Scott Vanderpool from sub Records got in
nineteen eighty eight test pressing as soon as it arrived
in the mail, then turned it around and played it
on a Seattle radio show. That's up for auction as
we speak. It's going for ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'll give them ten thousand dollars and five five dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It feels like this would age well because I've noticed
that the Zoomers love wearing Nirvana shirts, even though they
can't name five songs.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It instantly makes them feel like they're cool.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh, you're a Nirvana fan named three times he went
to the emergency room for almost overdosing and dying.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well there was those three times. Yeah, that's right. I
don't know what that goes in there. It's weird and
pissed off whatever it is. Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
I have a friend who's range.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I have a friend who's very religious but also has
a dirty mouth. And in response to the story about
the figs, I just got this text message, uh oh
next to the story about Jesus saying, f them figs,
my favorite John twenty four. The two were running together,
but the other disciple outramed Peter. This is a factual
(08:06):
account of two disciples, likely John and Peter, racing to
the empty tomb. The other disciple, disciple was often identified
as John, is described as running faster, basically John talking
smack fast as f boy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay, I'm not sure what any of that means. I
didn't follow it very well.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's because you don't love God.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Must be it not like you. This one shout out to.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All my foul mouth Christians out there, just because you
say a lot of dirty potty mouth doesn't mean you
don't love our Lord and Savior.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You know that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So I'm talking about just saying, just.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Saying, just keep saying it, just over and over.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They got an election going on right now in Denmark though,
yead you know the Dutch, I don't know them. And
according to the BBC, there's two groups of people running.
There's a centrist party and a right wing party.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That's the ones that wear the wooden shoes, I think. So. Yeah,
and those people can't come live over here because you
know they're gonna move right on top of you. Yeah,
but I just told you they're gonna they're gonna rent
the uh the apartment right above your head, and wooden
shoes is just gonna be stumping around all damn day.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay, but what would you rather have upstairs? Somebody in
some wooden shoes or some socialists.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Probably end up both. How about what would be wrong
with a young woman who's who's just getting her feet
wet and in the stripping business. Uh, still a little shy,
still a little nervous, you know, needs a fatherly figure
to put an arm around her, your shoulders and tell
her that things are gonna work out okay for you. You're young,
(09:35):
you're just getting started in life. And and you know
I'm here for you anytime you need a fatherly figure,
you know, to put an arm around you and make
you feel better. And I and you know that that's
the kind of situation I'd like to find myself in.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't think she's gonna be able to live in
my building, Billy had You gotta have good credit to
get in there, right, Yeah, they're not gonna let some
stripper with no employe in a history.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Who's in charge down at the leasing office? Is it
women or men?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Well, the units are owned by people. There's no leasing
on it.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But they can they lease their their unit if they
want to. Yeah, you can, yeah, and then that would
be up to the individual. You know, strippers have a
way of talking people into doing things. I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Did you know there's an island where people go to
cheat death sure in a pop up city off the
coast of Honduras. Longevity startups are trying to fast track
anti aging drugs. The question we're asking today in the
New Republic or here on the Walton and Johnson Show,
is this the future of medical research?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No? How do you know, Well, it's I just I
can tell you it. It's not I've been to the future.
I don't want to get into it because everybody looks
at you like you're weird, you know, But I've seen
the future and that's that's not it.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
There's an island called Rotan Roatan. It's an island in Honduras.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
They make ceagars down there.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You know, it is beautiful. I mean, it is just
a lovely place. Still after Melissa did she get anywhere
near there and didn't say anything about that. But in
the report here the detail how tech companies and BioResearch
companies are going there to experiment on drugs that are
supposed to keep you from being able to die. H yeah,
(11:15):
backed by the likes of Silicon Valley billionaires Peter Thiel, Sure,
Sam Altman, Mark Anderson. There's a company there called Prospera
found it in twenty seventeen, and it is essentially a
for profit district that is run by a business rather
than a government. According to the report here, this approach
to governance pays the way for research by allowing for
(11:38):
a regulatory choice, meaning that a biotech company could pick
its own.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Set of laws to follow. Okay, this is like everything,
like the same people that are harvest in baby blood
to keep themselves young and alive while the rest of
us just turn old and die. Oh Billy ed. It
doesn't just sound like the same people. What I'm thinking,
here's my question.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
What would you rather do a country where there are
no businesses running anything it's the government running everything. Or
live in a country where where private businesses control everything,
including the laws.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Wow, it's all or nothing with you, isn't it this
or that? No? In betweens, I do kind of want
to go check it out, like like long weekend. Yeah,
you don't want to like buy a place down there,
but maybe, you know, just get an Airbnb I would.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I feel like buying a house in Honduras is about investment.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I think you might be right about that.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Even in a lawless, corporatist island where a bunch of
technocrats are engaging in anti aging debauchery.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sure get there early, you know, I mean before you
get too old, because they don't want to even mess
with you at that point.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
If you'd told me this morning, I was going to
wake up and say that sentence. At some point, I
would not have believed you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But we just never know what the world is going
to offer up today. That's why we want to keep
waking up every morning. We want to see what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's true, you never know it's going to flop out
of your mouth, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And that the truth.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
What more you may coming in about the LSU coach,
well technically not coach here, but this guy says, I
think that math genius you had on the show in
the panties. Uh, okay, Well she shouldn't be the coach,
but can't we let her keep score? Yeah? Yeah, l
if you's gonna be undefeated, if she's our scorekeeper, she
(13:23):
is the scorekeeper. Indeed, it's eleven billion to three, we win.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yay, I like it. I like girl math. Okay, girl
math's kind of hot, you know what I mean? You
know better than the math we had. That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Because the math we had, mister oh, is what you
better believe all kind of racists. It's probably at Athemitic too,
all right? Well or is it a Semitic?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I don't know either. I just know this. Anytime anyone
criticizes Israel, they're an anti Semite. And anytime anyone says
anything even vaguely positive about a Jew, they're a zion
Those are the rules.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh that's hurtful. I know, it's that's the polarizing planet
we now live in. One out of every six Americans
thinks pets enjoy dressing up for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Mister Kenneth, they do. You can tell the difference. Immediately.
Put the little costumes on on my dog, Dick.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
What'd you get a little dick for his Halloween?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm going back. I'm going retro, going back with the
old hot dog. It was so popular. Just don't put
ketchup on him. Well, it's just just a it's a costume.
It already comes that way, you know. But I think
I actually came with mustard on it, so I can.
I can color it yellow, and you know, then we'll
be fine. He went as a ballerina one year, and
(14:40):
it seemed like the only time he wasn't thrilled by
his little little outfit. The little too too. I think
it was scratching him on his undercarriage.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
On his undercare. Oh that's terrible. Yeah, yeah, poor guy.
All right, Well, that being said, I do occasionally dress
up Melton in a costume. I think it's funny to
make him look like a dinosaur. Or he's got one
where he's the horse but there's a cowboy on his back.
That's always a funny thing to put them so good
and all it being said. On top of that, one
in six Americans thinking pets enjoy dressing up for Halloween.
(15:12):
Nearly a third have dressed up a pet or will
this year due. Are you shocked by any of that?
I'm a bit doesn't. I'm surprised it's that low. Really, Yeah,
you're probably right about that. Well, I for one, think
that animals wearing people clothing is the highest form of humor.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Now, monkeys is the best. You know, dogs ain't bad,
but if we ground up the rest of them monkeys
in Mississippi or wherever they are now, be sure, you know,
they get around pretty good. They swing through the trees
like like Tarzan. You dress them monkeys up, that'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
What would you dress up the monkey as for Halloween?
You know Billy a medical researcher.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh my god, that is funny. Get him a little
What do they call them things that they have around
their necks and stuff a stethoscope. Yeah, get him one
of them.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And then a little name tag that says with a
two lane university on it and a little white coat
and it's a doctor.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Incompetent or something like that. That'd be funny, right, And
maybe get him a stuffed monkey to carry around in
his hand. That's hilarious, mister, that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, that's a good ideas.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Baxkirt the beagle in the Tiny Shark fin Foon of
the Laps got hurt too, too again, Bella the postress
as a.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Bug at me, look a look at Okay, let's be honest.
Your doctor's a't care. You're not doing this for them.
You just wanted to post it on Instagram?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
How dare you?
