Speaker 1 (00:00):
Steve and I and everybody here at your favorite morning show,
very excited to get a comedy show launched this weekend,
very excited. And just as we're putting it all together,
we're learning that there's an even bigger comedy show generating
news headlines all over.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
The world, bigger than ours.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Well, it's a festival and if you want to attend it,
it's happening right now in Riad.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Saudi Arabia. That's far.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
As I was walking into the radio studio this morning,
I ran into a Saudi Arabian man in the parking garage.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Get out of here. Yeah, what the odds are?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I just ran into him there and we started talking
about how there was a comedy festival, and I said,
you know, I'm surprised by that because I didn't know
you guys had free speech in Saudi Arabia. And he said,
I think it's pretty similar to the free speech here
in America. And I said, oh, yeah, well consider this
here in America. You could stand in the middle of
town square and you could scream at the top of
(00:55):
your lungs huh down with Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Ooh yeah, that's a good And you said, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Well, you know, in Riad, Saudi Arabia, where I'm from,
you can also stand right in the middle of the
town square and at the top of your lungs you could.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Scream down with Donald Trump. Sure, and it's totally okay.
So that seems exactly the same. No, it's exactly the same. Yeah,
no difference. Some of the comedians who have decided to
play the riadd Comedy Festival or Americans are being criticized
for taking money because they don't they don't like the
(01:29):
politics of Saudi Arabia. It pays a lot. Yeah, it's
a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Apparently there's three tiers for the comedians and guys, this
is some of the biggest comics in the world. We're
talking about Kevin Hart, you know, Dave Chappelle, big comedian.
The top comedians get one point five million dollars to
fly to Saudi Arabia and work.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
For about forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Nice, and then the second teer get three hundred and
seventy five thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
That's quite a drop. Yeah, what was the first one
point five Those would be the headliners. Yeah, yeah, but
damn okay, and then the bottom tier get one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Okay, still, you got to admit
for a lot of money forty minutes a word, bottom
tier Comedian's the.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Kind of money they give Joe Biden to give a speech,
you know. And so anyway, a couple of people performing there,
one of them Dave Chappelle. Now I didn't hear the joke,
but Dave Chappelle, according to the reports online, he performed
last night or early this morning or whatever time it
is there, and he made a comment about Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And all we know is this.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We don't really because there's no clips or anything online
about it. He said something to the extent of, you know,
in America right now, people are getting canceled for telling
I'll read it verbatim. Right now in America, they say,
if you talk about Charlie Kirk, you'll get canceled. I
don't know if that's true, but I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And then he said it's easier to tell jokes in
Saudi Arabia right now than it is in America.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, especially from the Democrat point of view. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Fair.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I don't know what the joke was, but I will
say this, Dave Chappelle. Probably it was probably in poor taste.
I have no idea, but his telling.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
A joke about Charlie Kirk is a little different than
what Jimmy Kimmel did because Dave Chappelle was doing it
at a private comedy performance, and Jimmy Kimmel did it on
the terrestrial airwaves that are publicly owned by every single
person hearing my voice right now, as are by the way,
as are these airwaves that you're hearing my voice on.
Believe it or not, Steve and I don't own the
(03:27):
radio airwaves, nor does the company that puts us on
the air.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
This is shared with the public. It's supposed to serve
a quote unquote public purpose.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You believe you let everybody in on the secret. We
don't own all of.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
This, and that's why the FCC exists. It's not like
you can buy you can get a license. It's complicated,
but actually it's not. You know, you're still you're renting
the right to share something with the general public. So anyway,
you know, Dave Chappelle's joke, again, I don't know what
the punchline was or even what he said. The biggest
(03:59):
tip credo the RIOD comedy festival would probably be Bill Burr.
I gotta tell you, of all the people in comedy
that I used to admire, this guy is the biggest sellout,
liberal hack douche in the entire industry. This guy's ability
to bend over and grab his ankles for anyone that's
willing to write him a paycheck, any Democrat Party shill,
(04:21):
is just humiliating. I don't know how Bill Burt calls
himself a man. You remember the famous bit about him
making fun of the WNBA so many years ago. It's
a good bit that Bill Bird from like a decade
or two ago. Yeah, he hasn't existed for a long time.
Somebody kidnapped him and put him in a trunk. And anyway,
I'm just going to read something to you here. Last night,
(04:42):
Bill Bird performed at the Riod Comedy Festival in Saudi
Arabia for the Prince of You.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Know, he didn't get the million five. I think he did.
He was one of the headliners.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah that's too And you know, Tim Dillon is another
comic from here in Texas. He got fired from this
festival for making a joke on social media that they
were gonna pay him with money they got from slavery, which, by.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
The way, that's not a joke. He's a They gave
him a down payment.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
They probably gave him thirty thousand dollars or whatever to
do his you know, first three indred seventy five thousand
dollars gig. He said he's keeping the down payment. But anyway,
this isn't about Tim Dillon, It's about Bill Burr. Back
in January of twenty ten, Bill Burr made a joke
about Beyonce performing for Momar Gadaffi.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Does everybody remember who Gaddafi is? Heard of him? He's
a dictator. It was a joke about remember Beyonce, Well
you remember her, right, sure?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I mean the number one country artist in America. Oh yeah, He.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Said she takes a million bucks to sing at some
private party for Gadaffi's kid. Momar Gadaffi, you know, the
guy who's been blowing stuff up and running a dictatorship. Like,
what the hell you're gonna get off to Saint Bart's
shake your ass off for some terrorist dictator's family, pocket
a million and then go back to preaching about empower.
Come on, man, that's the hypocrisy of this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now, the hypocrisy is him.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
These celebrities, they'll take any gig if the check's big.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Enough, says the guy who just took a big check.
I gotta think.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Look, I'm not you know, I'm just calling balls and
strikes here, moll market off.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
He was a bad guy.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But I kind of feel like performing for the Saudi
Royal family might might be similar.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I mean, it's is it worse, is it better? I
don't feel like it's better. I mean they did more money.
Maybe that's this point. She only got a million, he
got a million.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Five.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Man, you raise a great point. Actually, yeah, you don't
sell out for a million. You do it for at
least a bucko five. So Bill sets the standard for
everybody else.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Classy guy a Friday waits for no one, burned a
little rest and relaxation.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Today's government shut down, Day three, A world into sarray.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Whoa disarray? That's like worse than just regular array.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Uh huh, that's not good. I should tell you that.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So it's day three. We're gonna miss day four. That's tomorrow.
There's a vote coming up at eleven am Eastern time,
so it would be right around the time we get
off the air here.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So you don't have any any hopes for avoiding Day four.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I assume if Day four, well, I only bring it
up because all right, look, I'm a little biased here.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'm sorry to bring this up, but here it's your
favorite morning show.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We work hard on producing stuff sometimes and then you know,
when the moment arrives, we like to reuse stuff. So
we sure we had this intro for Day four from
like a decade ago.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
America in disarray.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Shutdown, We'll have a very real economic French gears of
our comye at a time when those gears have gained
some traction.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Hiking and biking trails shut down.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Idea of putting the American people's hard earned progress at
risk is the height of irresponsibility.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Boot launches roped off so that if you want fishing,
you cannot conveniently launch your boats.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
This seriously damages our ability to protect the safety and
security of this nation and assistance.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Michelle Obama's Twitter account has been shut down.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
One official telling ABC News, you get that this is
pretty old old way.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
My only point of playing this is that's how long
the government shutdowns have been going on for this thing
where we have a budget crisis once every several months. Yeah,
and it's going to happen more often. You can have
two things, guys. You can have a big bill or
a beautiful bill.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You on was right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'm sorry if this upsets hardcore, diehard mega people, but
it's true. Look, I voted for Trump, I donated money,
I was I'm a I'm an ally, I got in line,
I did all this stuff. But forgive me for pointing
out that this thing exists. It's very inconvenient. It's called math,
and I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Oh yeah, when when the Democrats tell you something, they
don't want you to verify it with maybe some evidence
to back it up or anything. They're what they're telling
you is more about their feelings about things, and you
shouldn't ask for proof about their feelings. That's just their feelings.
So when I tell you things like, well, it's the
(09:09):
Republican's fault that we're at a stalemate here, it's not
really true, but they feel like it is, so just
go with it anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, the Republicans are in charge right now, and Democrats
are doing all the things that they said Republicans were
anarchists or anti American or whatever they said.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
For last time Republicans did it.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But with all that being said, I got to admit here,
just objectively speaking, the Republicans are not being as petty
as the Democrats are. When the Democrats were in charge
of things and the government shut down because the Republicans
wouldn't play along, the Democrats shut down the PANDACAM. Now
I've got something on my screen over here, and I
don't know if you could see this or not, but
(09:51):
I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's a sleepy panda there it is.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
They left the PANDACAM on the Smithsonian National Zoological Park
Conservation Biology Institute.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And you know, Steve, we're the only ones covering this.
We seem to be.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, I just I remember things. I remember the last
time this happened, they shut down the PANDACAM. What wasn't
the last time, the last, last time, the last last,
last last time this happened, they shut down the PANDACAM.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And well, at least Donald Trumpet gave you access to Linglee.
We did get a report of the PANDICAM a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
They said that it runs from seven to a eight
to seven p I'm assuming Eastern live, and then they
just play reruns, apparently overnight, so we're probably looking at
old footage.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It was a panda taking a nap in a darkly
in a dimly lit room.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
And what would it matter to you if that happened
six hours ago or if it was live.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I just want to know that panda's okay, you know,
because we have a lot of things to be proud
of and a lot of things we have to appreciate
in this country. But never ever forget that we made
untold promises to the Chinese Communist Party in exchange for
temporary access to a panda.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Seems fair. Yeah, that's a good deal right there. And
watching pandacam, you really you have to wait. You have
to watch quite a while to find out whether the
screen is frozen or not.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, that's true, I mean it's it's still a government
operated thing.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But fandas don't move a whole lot, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Don't expect it to work great, I mean, we're talking
about the federal government here. It's the latest webcam technology
from nineteen ninety eight. I'm guessing anyway, a lot going
on today. We're alive, you're alive. A lot of exciting
stuff going down here. We still a few general admission
tickets left for the comedy show this weekend, but for
I would say it's basically sold out at this point.
(11:41):
If you wanted VIP tickets, those are long gone. We
can squeeze you in in the back a little bit
if you go to Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org and
it's going to be a blast. If you didn't take advantage,
I don't know what to Someone wrote an email overnight.
They're like, I wanted to buy VIP tickets you had
over a month.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, we've been talking about this for quite a while.
We have.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We've talking about it so much. I hate hearing me
talk about it. Oh this again. I imagine living in
Georgia and hearing about this flipp and comedy show all
the time, when that's not happening anywhere near you yet. Yeah,
what are you gonna do? Look, here's the good news.
We only do it once a year, you know, not
a regular thing, just one. Now you do other comedy shows,
but look, you hit the road. I hate to do those.
(12:20):
I hate to be the one to point this out,
but we have a show next week in Waco. But
do you hate to point that out?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, because it you know a lot of homes are.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Like, it's already sold out for this weekend, so you're
not hurting sales.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And then what is it tonight? We have a show
in seaside that we didn't promote at all. Is where
is that?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Galves?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Steve?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, down in that way. You have any musical entertainment
provided for that one?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Do you know her? I don't know. You haven't said
who it is yet.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yeah, you know her obviously, Susan, Yes, yes, Susan Hickman.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We've had her in studio before.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I don't remember. I think it was earlier this year.
She performed at the Rodeo. Oh yeah, she did that too.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
She's very good, really good singer she's performing with. Anyway,
that's a totally different show. So now we're just confusing people.
But one thing is for sure, none of the money
from any of that show, those shows will be provided
by the Saudi Arabian government.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
No, they got other things to pay for.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
During commercial breaks, Steve and I both had an awkward laugh,
kind of an uncomfortable moment where we thought, you know,
we raised tens of thousands of dollars for charity this
weekend so that we could pay to provide wheelchairs to
people who were seriously injured, probably by terrorist attacks funded
by the Saudi government. And right now all the most
famous comedians in America are in Saudi Arabia performing for
(13:33):
the Saudi Arabian government.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's the circle.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Of life, is it not, sacle Oh Hasim Mahi Babu.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
It does kind of sound like the call to prayer,
doesn't it. It's Friday Friday, almost missed the weekend. Friday
waits for no one. Burn a little rest and relaxation.

up because all right, look, I'm a little biased here.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'm sorry to bring this up, but here it's your
favorite morning show.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We work hard on producing stuff sometimes and then you know,
when the moment arrives, we like to reuse stuff. So
we sure we had this intro for Day four from
like a decade ago.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
America in disarray.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Shutdown, We'll have a very real economic French gears of
our comye at a time when those gears have gained
some traction.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Hiking and biking trails shut down.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Idea of putting the American people's hard earned progress at
risk is the height of irresponsibility.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Boot launches roped off so that if you want fishing,
you cannot conveniently launch your boats.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
This seriously damages our ability to protect the safety and
security of this nation and assistance.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Michelle Obama's Twitter account has been shut down.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
One official telling ABC News, you get that this is
pretty old old way.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
My only point of playing this is that's how long
the government shutdowns have been going on for this thing
where we have a budget crisis once every several months. Yeah,
and it's going to happen more often. You can have
two things, guys. You can have a big bill or
a beautiful bill.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You on was right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'm sorry if this upsets hardcore, diehard mega people, but
it's true. Look, I voted for Trump, I donated money,
I was I'm a I'm an ally, I got in line,
I did all this stuff. But forgive me for pointing
out that this thing exists. It's very inconvenient. It's called math,
and I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Oh yeah, when when the Democrats tell you something, they
don't want you to verify it with maybe some evidence
to back it up or anything. They're what they're telling
you is more about their feelings about things, and you
shouldn't ask for proof about their feelings. That's just their feelings.
So when I tell you things like, well, it's the
(09:09):
Republican's fault that we're at a stalemate here, it's not
really true, but they feel like it is, so just
go with it anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, the Republicans are in charge right now, and Democrats
are doing all the things that they said Republicans were
anarchists or anti American or whatever they said.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
For last time Republicans did it.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But with all that being said, I got to admit here,
just objectively speaking, the Republicans are not being as petty
as the Democrats are. When the Democrats were in charge
of things and the government shut down because the Republicans
wouldn't play along, the Democrats shut down the PANDACAM. Now
I've got something on my screen over here, and I
don't know if you could see this or not, but
(09:51):
I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's a sleepy panda there it is.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
They left the PANDACAM on the Smithsonian National Zoological Park
Conservation Biology Institute.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And you know, Steve, we're the only ones covering this.
We seem to be.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, I just I remember things. I remember the last
time this happened, they shut down the PANDACAM. What wasn't
the last time, the last, last time, the last last,
last last time this happened, they shut down the PANDACAM.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
And well, at least Donald Trumpet gave you access to Linglee.
We did get a report of the PANDICAM a couple
of days ago.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
They said that it runs from seven to a eight
to seven p I'm assuming Eastern live, and then they
just play reruns, apparently overnight, so we're probably looking at
old footage.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It was a panda taking a nap in a darkly
in a dimly lit room.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
And what would it matter to you if that happened
six hours ago or if it was live.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I just want to know that panda's okay, you know,
because we have a lot of things to be proud
of and a lot of things we have to appreciate
in this country. But never ever forget that we made
untold promises to the Chinese Communist Party in exchange for
temporary access to a panda.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Seems fair. Yeah, that's a good deal right there. And
watching pandacam, you really you have to wait. You have
to watch quite a while to find out whether the
screen is frozen or not.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, that's true, I mean it's it's still a government
operated thing.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But fandas don't move a whole lot, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Don't expect it to work great, I mean, we're talking
about the federal government here. It's the latest webcam technology
from nineteen ninety eight. I'm guessing anyway, a lot going
on today. We're alive, you're alive. A lot of exciting
stuff going down here. We still a few general admission
tickets left for the comedy show this weekend, but for
I would say it's basically sold out at this point.
(11:41):
If you wanted VIP tickets, those are long gone. We
can squeeze you in in the back a little bit
if you go to Wheelchairs for Warriors dot org and
it's going to be a blast. If you didn't take advantage,
I don't know what to Someone wrote an email overnight.
They're like, I wanted to buy VIP tickets you had
over a month.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, we've been talking about this for quite a while.
We have.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We've talking about it so much. I hate hearing me
talk about it. Oh this again. I imagine living in
Georgia and hearing about this flipp and comedy show all
the time, when that's not happening anywhere near you yet. Yeah,
what are you gonna do? Look, here's the good news.
We only do it once a year, you know, not
a regular thing, just one. Now you do other comedy shows,
but look, you hit the road. I hate to do those.
(12:20):
I hate to be the one to point this out,
but we have a show next week in Waco. But
do you hate to point that out?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, because it you know a lot of homes are.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Like, it's already sold out for this weekend, so you're
not hurting sales.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And then what is it tonight? We have a show
in seaside that we didn't promote at all. Is where
is that?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Galves?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Steve?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, down in that way. You have any musical entertainment
provided for that one?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Do you know her? I don't know. You haven't said
who it is yet.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yeah, you know her obviously, Susan, Yes, yes, Susan Hickman.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
We've had her in studio before.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I don't remember. I think it was earlier this year.
She performed at the Rodeo. Oh yeah, she did that too.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
She's very good, really good singer she's performing with. Anyway,
that's a totally different show. So now we're just confusing people.
But one thing is for sure, none of the money
from any of that show, those shows will be provided
by the Saudi Arabian government.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
No, they got other things to pay for.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
During commercial breaks, Steve and I both had an awkward laugh,
kind of an uncomfortable moment where we thought, you know,
we raised tens of thousands of dollars for charity this
weekend so that we could pay to provide wheelchairs to
people who were seriously injured, probably by terrorist attacks funded
by the Saudi government. And right now all the most
famous comedians in America are in Saudi Arabia performing for
(13:33):
the Saudi Arabian government.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's the circle.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Of life, is it not, sacle Oh Hasim Mahi Babu.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
It does kind of sound like the call to prayer,
doesn't it. It's Friday Friday, almost missed the weekend. Friday
waits for no one. Burn a little rest and relaxation.

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.
