Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, if you enjoy the You Walton Johnson Show like
we do, then you might also enjoy the Pursuit of
Happiness show in the afternoon with oh Kinney Webster there.
And as a matter of fact, I think, do we
have a clip? Can we play a clip? This is interesting.
One quarter of Americans say they want to quote take
a break from sex. It's ridiculous. If you want to
(00:25):
take a break from sex, just get married. It's as
simple as that. How old are these people? Y'all kidding me?
Are you telling me? Is a man? You don't know
what it feels like to be devastated, crushed, humiliated, rejected, wounded, defeated, betrayed, shattered, dejected, forlorn, desponded, crestfallen, disheartened,
(00:48):
ashamed of the man that you are. You got nothing
to be ashamed of. You're a man. Put your pants
back on and walk the walk, young man. You can't
let a woman decide who you're gonna be. You can't
let you actuality dictate where you're going in this world.
That's insane. You got to look that woman in the eye,
You got to tell her to just walk on by.
(01:10):
I'm sorry, are we on the air right now. I
didn't know we were doing a radio segment. Is this
a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what? Or what?
Boy howdy? A new movie about the life of Shenead
O'Connor is in the works. I can't wait to watch
the pope tear it apart, I kid, you know who.
(01:30):
I want to talk to my buddy on the line
right now. Tim Mathis is here. Tim and I were
just watching this. I mean, I guess it's a segment
of Bill Maher's show. Bill Maher is really eating the
red pill recently, all men. I don't watch his show,
but Breitbart in the conservative news media, they love to
pick apart all the little moments where he agrees with
us and late night hosts. Bill Maher body slammed California
(01:52):
and the Democrats who have turned into an anti business
hell hole as of late. There's a lot of examples
of this happening right now. But nearly seven percent of
people in California say they are unhappy with the state.
Forty percent say they are thinking about leaving right now.
That's a lot, you guys. It's a tough place to live.
You know who, lived there and left. My buddy, stand
up comedian Tim mathis, Tim, why'd you leave California?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
The exact same reasons Bill Maher's talking about. So I
know that we've talked about. They were making a micro
budget the movie, and we had to do an LLC
in California. It was going to cost us seven hundred
and fifty dollars just to apply. In Texas it was free.
So uh, you know, that's that's the common theme with California.
(02:41):
They just make it so hard to make money out
there for the state, which is which is crazy. So
they've really shot themselves in the foot over and over again,
and people like mar finally starting to take notice. So
that's pretty interesting, is it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Do you watch a show is it that like bright
Bard and Daily Caller and Fox News will find all
the moments when he praises Trump or disagrees with Gavin Newsom,
And I got to think it's not as someone that
doesn't watch it, and I just see the clips on
social media are cable news. It leads to me to
believe he's like a Republican now, But there are probably
just as many moments on that show where he's criticizing conservatives, right,
(03:19):
isn't that the stick?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh? Yeah, I mean he plays both sides, which is,
you know, fine with me as long as he's being
honest about you know, stuff like this he does. You know,
he's wrong on a lot of other stuff, but on
this he's dead right.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, Okay, well, very cool. It's nice to see he's
right once. Have you ever heard this that he used
to be roommates in college with Rand Paul or that
they were friends or something. Is that true?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I had no idea. I know that Jon Stewart was
roommates with Anthony Wiener.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I know you didn't just tell a joke, but it's
still funny to me. All right. Speaking of Hollywood leaving
the are people leaving the places where he expect to
see them. Apparently a lot of Marvel Comics stuff for
Disney World, A lot of the Marvel movies and TV
shows they filmed in Georgia, more specifically Atlanta. Some people
refer to Atlanta as Black Hollywood, and I find that
to be a little marginalizing to black people or to Atlanta,
(04:15):
because it looks like they're doing more in Atlanta than
just you know, Tyler Perry movies. I mean, to that point,
Disney was there. But to that point, Disney's now leaving.
What do you what's your take on this?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's not surprising. Unfortunately, that's what Hollywood does. It goes
wherever the cheapest work is the cheapest workforce. For example,
a lot of your action films are filmed in places
like Eastern Europe. So it's very unfortunate that this is
(04:48):
happening Georgia. As far as movie production was really exploding,
it was actually at one point there was more TV
and film productions going on in Atlanta than there was
in Hollywood. But now I guess that's about to change.
It looks like Disney is, instead of making better movies
(05:09):
and you know that will make more money, they're going
to continue to make crappy films and move them to
the UK. So they just chose the path of least resistance.
It looks like, all right, I.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Know it sounds good on its surface, but do we
really want to have a spider Man with a British accent?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That could be pretty interesting? But yeah, I agree with you,
it is. It is. It's troubling that this is the
way that Hollywood cuts corners and cuts budgets instead of
doing things like, you know, just making it more affordable
to make movies. In the United States, one of our
(05:56):
main industries is the film industry. We were the first
country to really start that up in a big amount.
We are the leader in film and TV, and to
see Disney taking the cheap way out and moving to
the UK is not a good look, and hopefully it
(06:18):
won't continue to happen. I'm kind of disappointed that Texas
did try to get that Marvel money to come to
our state, but you know, it is what it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Is, Okay. So to your point there, a lot of
people in Texas are mad right now that in this
past legislative session, the first one, not the failed one
we just had or the one we're having now, they
did give out pass a bill that gives subsidies to
Hollywood movie studios. And I think part of the reason
why I think that upset so many Republicans and Conservatives
(06:51):
was because they didn't get us property tax relief. So
the way people see that as they're giving the money
to Hollywood instead of back to the taxpayers. I'm sure
you have mixed feelings about that. Being a guy that
produces comedy films for.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
A living Well, Yeah, I mean I like the way
that Texas is going towards because we are planning on
filming in Texas, so this should should help our situation.
And of course other productions moving to Texas would be great.
But I do understand the pretty Texas pretty bad in Texas,
so you know, it would be better if they kind
(07:25):
of did both, but it looks like they are focusing
on just the movie production aspect for now.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So all right. For those that don't remember, there used
to be a TV show called Kids in the Hall.
It was very funny. It's the TV show up in
Canada that Lauren Michael's briefly produced when he left Saturday
Night Live back in the early years, and then he
came back. Maybe people remember this, maybe they don't. Dave
Foley was a guy on that show. Michael ian Black
started his career out doing sketch comedy on MTV. I
(07:56):
forget what the show is called, but both of these
guys are now up together to form an alliance of
irrelevant Yesterday's Comedians against Maga. Canadian comedian Dave Folly joined
comedian and CNN show host Michael ian Black and unloaded
on Americans, calling US fascists and uneducated. He said, we're
deporting people like they did in nineteen thirty nine. In
(08:17):
nineteen thirty nine, I think if I'm not mistaken, I
don't know if you're a history buffer or not, Tim,
but the controversy wasn't that they were making people leave
the country. It's that they wouldn't let them leave the
country as they were locking them up in these camps
of concentration. I don't know if you're aware of that
or not, but I couldn't believe that we have to
constantly redefine fascism or change history around so that the
(08:39):
left will make it seem like it resembles whatever Trump's
doing now. Trump's goals with Doge and obviously immigration reform
was to make people leave the country that weren't supposed
to be here and shrink the size of the country.
The Nazis did the government, that is, the Nazis did
the exact opposite. They tried to make government bigger and
they wouldn't let people leave. Right Like, how do we
(09:01):
make Trump into a Nazi when he's doing the exact
opposite of what they did.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I just wish they would find a different example. Since
the Hitler thing just doesn't fit. And you know, two
supposedly great comedians which both have had their moments. Michael
Ian Black was on the State by.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The way, that's it, goody good memory. Yeah. I loved that.
It was a great a long time. It's hard to
believe him a long time ago. Michael ian Black used
to be a comedian.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah. And and of course Dave Foley was also on
news radio where he was really good. But these guys
haven't been good for a long time. And I don't
know what it is about Trump that just it rocks
these people's brains. It it makes it makes their whole
like goal of entertaining people secondary. And to see two
(09:58):
people that you know, pretend it, at least at this point,
pretend to be funny people, and they can only come
up with the Hitler comparison. I mean, it's so played out.
So you want to talk about hack, that is very
hack to call Trump a Hitler or a Russian asset
(10:19):
or whatever they want to do. Now, you know, it's
it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You know what, you know, it's not ridiculous. The comedy
of Tim mathis comedy. Find him on x and Instagram
at Tim mathis comedy on both platforms. He's hilarious. That
reminds me. We're putting together another comedy show on October fifth.
That is a Sunday. It's going to be the Bad
Astronaut Brewing Company to raise money for wheelchairs for Warriors.
I will have a lineup and I will have tickets
(10:43):
available soon. That's just a little teaser. Sits Tim and
I are both comics. Hey stick around. Coming up next
a journalist from the Chronicle and a right wing environmentalist.
I'm going to see if I can get them to
fight with each other. This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of
Happiness on KPRC nine fifty Houston,
Hey, if you enjoy the You Walton Johnson Show like
we do, then you might also enjoy the Pursuit of
Happiness show in the afternoon with oh Kinney Webster there.
And as a matter of fact, I think, do we

One quarter of Americans say they want to quote take
a break from sex. It's ridiculous. If you want to
(00:25):
take a break from sex, just get married. It's as
simple as that. How old are these people? Y'all kidding me?
Are you telling me? Is a man? You don't know
what it feels like to be devastated, crushed, humiliated, rejected, wounded, defeated, betrayed, shattered, dejected, forlorn, desponded, crestfallen, disheartened,
(00:48):
ashamed of the man that you are. You got nothing
to be ashamed of. You're a man. Put your pants
back on and walk the walk, young man. You can't
let a woman decide who you're gonna be. You can't

You got to tell her to just walk on by.
(01:10):
I'm sorry, are we on the air right now. I
didn't know we were doing a radio segment. Is this
a spoiled, pampered, narcissistic Hollywood bratt or what? Or what?
Boy howdy? A new movie about the life of Shenead
O'Connor is in the works. I can't wait to watch
the pope tear it apart, I kid, you know who.
