What's really gonna get people excited is when they see
this commemorative gift set, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary,

And this gift set only one hundred dollars. The money
goes to wheelchairs for warriors, and it's first come, first servers.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Only three hundred made.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I got to tell you a bunch of them have
already gone since we mentioned this earlier. Plus here at
the Walda Johnson Show, we bought a few ourselves, uh,
so that we could pass those out to deserving friends
and advertisers. We're supposed to have all this information posted
on the Walton Johnson Facebook page, and if you want
to know the number, to call it seven one three
(02:14):
five o three two two four three. Get them while
they're hot, so once they're gone, they're gone.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Seven one three five o three two four three three
two two or three. I already screwed it up. Say
it one more time so I don't confused people.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Seven one three five O three two two four three.
All right, I think we got it at a fifty
and there are two fifty.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You're confusing, I know. Just stop making sense, all right.
Email times.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
We've got email from and it's brought to us by
the email is always brought to us by Dragos.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Delicious Restaurants restaurants dot com. Yeah, the tar boiled oysters.
Oh my god, I.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Watched a video last night. Tommy uh was making some.
He doesn't make them all because I got people that
do that. But Tommy over down then goes into the
kitchen and braves the flames and makes.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Some of those trobri oled oysters at Dragos. They are
so good. All right, we got an email from someone
who's very upset at me. Oh, they're mad at you.
They're mad at me. What do you do now? He says, Hello,
Walton and Johnson's show. I am a listener in Houston.
I am a fan of the show for ten years.
Just a note, you have to consider you have a
large broad audience. Kenny recently played a clip supposedly of
(03:31):
Zorhan mom Donnie speaking. The clip was not of Mom
Donnie speaking. Oh no, the clip was actually of a
man speaking in Swahili, which I understood, and it had
nothing to do with politics. You are lying and misleading
your listeners. Kenny is insensitive. He doesn't know or understand
race humor. Yesterday his true colors floated and now I
(03:53):
know why his wife left him.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Wow, this person has just dissected you and is ready
to fix all your problems. You're you're still having some
trouble in the dating world with the females.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Now you know why. Sincerely Donald in Sugarland, Don Donald
and Sugarland, you are pretty clever. You're right.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I played this clip the other day and MS speaks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
This language, and you are correct. That is not That
is not Zorhan Mom Donnie speaking. That is a man
speaking in Swahili. It was just kind of a joking around.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
But some people have no sense of humor, but they
do speak foreign languages, so they've got that going for him.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I think it's important to be honest, and so I'm
gonna play an especially once you were called out right
they oh fake and liar you. Here's the real clip
of Zorhan Mom Donald talking here we go. I know what.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Doesn't sound the same as he on the campaign trail. No,
this is him in one of those unprotected moments where
he thinks he is.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's a hot mic. He doesn't even know he's being recorded.
It's him speaking his native tongue. You're right, Donald and Sugarland,
I was insensitive to that evil to the Swahilians and
whatever Zorhan is. What is he? Who's Bekistan? Yeah? Sure?
What Uganda? Or what is he Indian or Pakistani? Or
he's a Muslim? He's a Muslim Indian? Who's Bekistandi? Ugandan?
And a hut? Yeah? And a hut too. Yeah. At
(05:28):
a hospital in Brentwood, Pennsylvania, fifty five year old Monique
Henrickson suffered severe burns to her hands, face, and hair
when she allegedly get ready guys, lit a crack pipe
while she was connected to an oxygen tank. Ugh. Yeah,
Sometimes life finds a way to put an end to things.
(05:50):
So here at your favorite morning show, where we're obviously
very sensitive to the people that speak Swahili and Ugandan,
we've reconstructed what her instant science lesson may have sounded like,
are you guys ready, let's all right, there go my
good looks.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That's rough, but hopefully that will serve as a lesson
to others so it doesn't happen to them.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Hendrickson was transported to a burn unit. She now faces
felony charges for causing a risk skin catastrophe, as well
as many bad hair days. Oh you're not kidding.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Plus that stinks. What smell hair burning? One of my
favorite news stories today in the Washington Excuse mean The
New York Post is about college students who are upset
at younger college students for having more social media followers.
Listen to this headline. Campus influencers are in tears over
(06:48):
having fewer followers than their peers, and the grift is
ruining their college experience. Damn, that's awful. I just want
to read a little bit to you. It's not an
important story, but it made me laugh. It used to
be for learning, friendship, and self development. Now it's for clicks. Recently,
the University of Miami's student newspaper ran a cover story
(07:08):
headlined Freshman Influencers takeover TikTok, featuring three incoming students with
large followers. Now when they say clicks this is the
more modern version.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Of clicks, yes, where you get clicks on social media, right,
because remember in my day, in the olden times.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
C l I, c U E.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Clicks were groups of people who all shared the same interests,
like uh that we had the jocks, sure, the freaks
that the freaks, the nerds or the hippies if you will,
the art kids, yeah, sure, nerds, the club click all right. Well,
(07:47):
the news about the young freshmen social media influencers was
enough to leave the rest of the schools want to
be influencers on the brink of tears. One student said,
there's enough room for all the influencers in the world,
but you and Miami right now, it really doesn't feel
that way, she said, as she wiped the tears from
her face. It made me realize that like micro influencers
(08:09):
don't get enough recognition. I only have twenty four thousand followers.
I just don't feel appreciated anymore. Just when we had
some little semblance of hope for the future of this country,
we've heard this young new generation coming out. It's probably
gonna be more conservative and like Trump more than the
(08:30):
generation before. But now sounds like they're a bunch of
crying weenie.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
People will sometimes make a point about this show. They're like,
your show's pretty big, but it's not the biggest show.
Wouldn't you guys like to be the biggest show?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Oh no, no, no, this is all working out just
the way we designed it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Sometimes, being big enough where you were in a you know,
a substantial living where you're comfortable, but not so big
that you've got everybody's radar. Everybody's got their eye on you.
Sometimes that's the best way to be.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, any bigger than this and they're probably gonna come
shut us down.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You want that much attention. Believe me, I used to
think I wanted attention, and then I got a lot
of attention, and now I don't want any attention. Go away,
shuck a decade, Walton and Johnson Radio Network. It gets
dark really early. You guys really don't like this switching
the clock to this time of year, do you?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But I know you do. And that's what's important to me,
is is making you happy.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I will admit it's interrupted my running schedule. Oh no,
wait a minute. Now you're you're thinking maybe you want
to join us, come to the light side of things.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, i'd still rather get the hour extra sleep. So
to me, this seems are you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Actually getting an hour extra of sleep? Well the first
day or two, yeah, but after that I do.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I did find last night that I was falling, wanted
to go to sleep at the normal bedtime that I
would go and then I looked at my watch. I
was like, Oh, I got an hour. What am I
going to do with an hour? What? It's a lot
of time, you know, it's a myth. You know, around
the time I'd normally go to sleep. I and then
I looked at my I it was dark three hours
before that. Sure, but I'm not paying attention to that.
I'd been drinking for hours. You remember the.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Part of the program earlier this morning, and I know
it was a long time ago you may have forgotten,
but you were talking about the fact that this show
is not scripted. No, it's mostly just go off the
off the cuff or whatever. Mark wrote in he said,
maybe it's just me, but I thought that whole bit
about how the show is mostly improv seemed a little scripted.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh, I get it. He's being funny. Mark. You're You're
clear a funny guy. You're a funny guy. Mark.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh, and people are still emailing about that woman in
Mississippi who shot that monkey.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
He was way out in the yard.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It wasn't like he was banging on the door trying
to get in and you know, attacking the kids or something.
She shot and killed one of them monkeys that escape,
you know from that truck accident, you know the monkeys.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Sure, yeah, I loved I love those monkeys.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
The one guy wrote in and said, I can't believe
she felt like she had to shoot that monkey. Couldn't
she have just spanked it instead? And yeah, maybe taught
it a lesson.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That's what I've always done. Here's an odd story for you, Billy.
I had three brothers in California. We're going through mom's
attic after she died, and they found a pristine copy
of the first Superman comic from nineteen thirty nine. Like
number one, I know you hate when I do this,
but how much do you think it's worth? Uh? One
point seven million dollars? More? Good lord? Six million? Fuck?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I tried to exaggerate it and then still missed it
by a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
The comic book is worth six million dollars to who?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Somebody with six million laying around he didn't need anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Probably a museum or maybe Jerry Seinfeld would probably pay
that much. Who would pay, Probably someone with a lot
of money that loves Superman. It's hard to find, you know,
by today's standards. That's a pretty boring comic book. It's
not that interesting of a story. There's not even any
cleavage in it. What's the point no cleavag Two workers
near Fresno named Carlos Perea Romero and angelle Zarco were
(12:02):
honored last month after saving a bunch of kids from
a burning bus. Am I getting tricked into reading two?
Is this pro illegal immigrant news? It said that two
farm workers near Fresno save burning kids from bus. Guys
without the illegal immigrants, who will save children from the
bus that an illegal immigrant drove into a wall?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
They'll do the work that Americans just won't do anymore,
much like saving children.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Laney Wilson was in Houston this weekend and a lot
of people noticed her big giant butt has disappeared. Oh really, yeah,
she'sano zempic now or something.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, so it's not completely this year, it's just gone
back to the way it used to be when she
first got famous.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, she has surprised. Her openers Muscadine Bloodline with it.
That's the name of the band, don't ask me with
a funny prank. To end her tour, they always play
an acoustic song together, but this time when Landy called
them up on stage, their usual stools had been swapped
out for two toilet seats. Oh my goodness, yeah, that's great.
(13:01):
Instead of doing that, why don't we tackle this question,
Billy had. Redneck's not an insult.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Right, No, I mean some people probably say it like
they want it to be an insult. I just I'm
not insulted. But I just think that means you just country.
You basically just you know, you come up country.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's all. Well. Riley Green was recently asked that same question.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
There's probably nicer terms, but for me, redneck was just
you know, somebody that grew up out in the country
and and uh yeah, what you did for fun was
probably not the same as what somebody, I guess you
could call a city slicker would be the opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I lived in Jacksonville, Alabama, which is a tiny town,
and my whole family's from William's community, Pleasant Valley, which
is right outside of Jacksonville, eight miles and they would
say I was city, so I lived.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We had a.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Walmart and a Johnson's and a you know in a
waffle house. So we were a big time you know.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, Okay, rednecks are Okay. I don't think I'd rather
be a redneck than a Russian.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Who who you think people are gonna come up begging
to help him when the Russians come to invade Hunh
or the Chinese. Probably the redn accent you me looking,
you were wishing you had a redneck's house to run too.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
A factory worker in Russia was accidentally wired over seven
million rubles that'd be eighty seven thousand American dollars by
his employer, and he refuses to give the money back.
He received all of his colleague salaries by accident. Vladimir
Ruyshakov's work is now suing him, but he feels he
should be able to keep the money because it was
(14:29):
their technical error that led to the money and being
sent to his account.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Sure, I think we all believe that if somebody you
know sends me a bunch of money, I get to
keep it.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't know what the rules are in Russia. But
is it finders keepers? There is that? How they I
bit it ain't? Probably not a finder's keeper's role in Russia.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, no, there's probably some guy in the Russian mafia
that just expecting that money and.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, he better get it or il. They probably have
some weird role in Russia that says, if you want
to win or keep the money, you have to defeat
a bear in a vodka drinking contest. That would be cool,
It would be fun to watch. We should do that here,
just a bear and a Russian guy sitting at a
table with a bottle of vodka. First one to pass
out loses. You know what's fun.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You ever see those videos where they release animals back
into the wild after they've you know, you know, fixed them,
healed them up from a broken leg or whatever the
thing was. And every now and then, it's not always
every now and then, guy's got a grizzly bear in
the back of his truck in a cage, and he
backs the truck up to you know, the open prairie
(15:32):
that leads to the mountains, and then he gets out
of the truck and he climbs up on top of
the cage and he lifts the gate and lets the
bear out, And every now and then the bear immediately
turns around and gets the guy that's on top of
the cage. He's supposed to run off and be free.
Be free, bear, you're free, and the bear just decided
(15:54):
how about I eat you on the way out?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
What do you like more? A bear video or a
monkey video? O? Bear? For sure.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Bears are great monkeys. I'll take a monkey video nine
days a week. But the bears, I'm just I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, bear videos are so much fun, especially when the
bear isn't being violent, like it's tolerating a human and
you just keep thinking, when's he gonna rip his face off?
But then he doesn't rip his face at least not
on camera. You know who used to love watching that?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Don't forget boys and girls too eat it every day.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know when this happened.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I just recently found out that my preferred mainstream.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Candy bar is now Mounds.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
If you don't know what mounds, it's like almond Joy,
but there's no almond.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There's no joy. There's a lot of coconut. Oh baby,
this candy is fibrous. Mounds is a bad name. I
don't get it. This is the product is almond Joy.
That's a crucial ingredient plus a positive emotion. And I'm
joy not a bad name. Somebody worked on that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Whoo approved mounds.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Did they ever see the product? I eat my mounds weird.
I develop a little ritual of my own. What I
do is I open my candy bar and then I
pour a side of almonds. These are separate purchase, and
then I make my own joy. I shelve the almonds
into my mounds, way more than you get from my
(17:29):
regular almond joy. I pack it all up in the
real crunchy and I eat it like dog medicine.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I to hear that you'll sign off names. I to
hear that, sure sign off the name Walling and Johnson.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
They make things. Sorry. Well, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
That's rough, but hopefully that will serve as a lesson
to others so it doesn't happen to them.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Hendrickson was transported to a burn unit. She now faces
felony charges for causing a risk skin catastrophe, as well
as many bad hair days. Oh you're not kidding.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Plus that stinks. What smell hair burning? One of my
favorite news stories today in the Washington Excuse mean The
New York Post is about college students who are upset
at younger college students for having more social media followers.
Listen to this headline. Campus influencers are in tears over
(06:48):
having fewer followers than their peers, and the grift is
ruining their college experience. Damn, that's awful. I just want
to read a little bit to you. It's not an
important story, but it made me laugh. It used to
be for learning, friendship, and self development. Now it's for clicks. Recently,
the University of Miami's student newspaper ran a cover story
(07:08):
headlined Freshman Influencers takeover TikTok, featuring three incoming students with
large followers. Now when they say clicks this is the
more modern version.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Of clicks, yes, where you get clicks on social media, right,
because remember in my day, in the olden times.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
C l I, c U E.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Clicks were groups of people who all shared the same interests,
like uh that we had the jocks, sure, the freaks
that the freaks, the nerds or the hippies if you will,
the art kids, yeah, sure, nerds, the club click all right. Well,
(07:47):
the news about the young freshmen social media influencers was
enough to leave the rest of the schools want to
be influencers on the brink of tears. One student said,
there's enough room for all the influencers in the world,
but you and Miami right now, it really doesn't feel
that way, she said, as she wiped the tears from
her face. It made me realize that like micro influencers
(08:09):
don't get enough recognition. I only have twenty four thousand followers.
I just don't feel appreciated anymore. Just when we had
some little semblance of hope for the future of this country,
we've heard this young new generation coming out. It's probably
gonna be more conservative and like Trump more than the
(08:30):
generation before. But now sounds like they're a bunch of
crying weenie.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
People will sometimes make a point about this show. They're like,
your show's pretty big, but it's not the biggest show.
Wouldn't you guys like to be the biggest show?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Oh no, no, no, this is all working out just
the way we designed it.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Sometimes, being big enough where you were in a you know,
a substantial living where you're comfortable, but not so big
that you've got everybody's radar. Everybody's got their eye on you.
Sometimes that's the best way to be.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, any bigger than this and they're probably gonna come
shut us down.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You want that much attention. Believe me, I used to
think I wanted attention, and then I got a lot
of attention, and now I don't want any attention. Go away,
shuck a decade, Walton and Johnson Radio Network. It gets
dark really early. You guys really don't like this switching
the clock to this time of year, do you?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But I know you do. And that's what's important to me,
is is making you happy.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I will admit it's interrupted my running schedule. Oh no,
wait a minute. Now you're you're thinking maybe you want
to join us, come to the light side of things.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, i'd still rather get the hour extra sleep. So
to me, this seems are you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Actually getting an hour extra of sleep? Well the first
day or two, yeah, but after that I do.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I did find last night that I was falling, wanted
to go to sleep at the normal bedtime that I
would go and then I looked at my watch. I
was like, Oh, I got an hour. What am I
going to do with an hour? What? It's a lot
of time, you know, it's a myth. You know, around
the time I'd normally go to sleep. I and then
I looked at my I it was dark three hours
before that. Sure, but I'm not paying attention to that.
I'd been drinking for hours. You remember the.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Part of the program earlier this morning, and I know
it was a long time ago you may have forgotten,
but you were talking about the fact that this show
is not scripted. No, it's mostly just go off the
off the cuff or whatever. Mark wrote in he said,
maybe it's just me, but I thought that whole bit
about how the show is mostly improv seemed a little scripted.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh, I get it. He's being funny. Mark. You're You're
clear a funny guy. You're a funny guy. Mark.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh, and people are still emailing about that woman in
Mississippi who shot that monkey.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
He was way out in the yard.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
It wasn't like he was banging on the door trying
to get in and you know, attacking the kids or something.
She shot and killed one of them monkeys that escape,
you know from that truck accident, you know the monkeys.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Sure, yeah, I loved I love those monkeys.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
The one guy wrote in and said, I can't believe
she felt like she had to shoot that monkey. Couldn't
she have just spanked it instead? And yeah, maybe taught
it a lesson.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That's what I've always done. Here's an odd story for you, Billy.
I had three brothers in California. We're going through mom's
attic after she died, and they found a pristine copy
of the first Superman comic from nineteen thirty nine. Like
number one, I know you hate when I do this,
but how much do you think it's worth? Uh? One
point seven million dollars? More? Good lord? Six million? Fuck?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I tried to exaggerate it and then still missed it
by a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
The comic book is worth six million dollars to who?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Somebody with six million laying around he didn't need anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Probably a museum or maybe Jerry Seinfeld would probably pay
that much. Who would pay, Probably someone with a lot
of money that loves Superman. It's hard to find, you know,
by today's standards. That's a pretty boring comic book. It's
not that interesting of a story. There's not even any
cleavage in it. What's the point no cleavag Two workers
near Fresno named Carlos Perea Romero and angelle Zarco were
(12:02):
honored last month after saving a bunch of kids from
a burning bus. Am I getting tricked into reading two?
Is this pro illegal immigrant news? It said that two
farm workers near Fresno save burning kids from bus. Guys
without the illegal immigrants, who will save children from the
bus that an illegal immigrant drove into a wall?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
They'll do the work that Americans just won't do anymore,
much like saving children.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Laney Wilson was in Houston this weekend and a lot
of people noticed her big giant butt has disappeared. Oh really, yeah,
she'sano zempic now or something.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Okay, so it's not completely this year, it's just gone
back to the way it used to be when she
first got famous.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, she has surprised. Her openers Muscadine Bloodline with it.
That's the name of the band, don't ask me with
a funny prank. To end her tour, they always play
an acoustic song together, but this time when Landy called
them up on stage, their usual stools had been swapped
out for two toilet seats. Oh my goodness, yeah, that's great.
(13:01):
Instead of doing that, why don't we tackle this question,
Billy had. Redneck's not an insult.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Right, No, I mean some people probably say it like
they want it to be an insult. I just I'm
not insulted. But I just think that means you just country.
You basically just you know, you come up country.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
That's all. Well. Riley Green was recently asked that same question.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
There's probably nicer terms, but for me, redneck was just
you know, somebody that grew up out in the country
and and uh yeah, what you did for fun was
probably not the same as what somebody, I guess you
could call a city slicker would be the opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You know.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I lived in Jacksonville, Alabama, which is a tiny town,
and my whole family's from William's community, Pleasant Valley, which
is right outside of Jacksonville, eight miles and they would
say I was city, so I lived.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
We had a.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Walmart and a Johnson's and a you know in a
waffle house. So we were a big time you know.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, Okay, rednecks are Okay. I don't think I'd rather
be a redneck than a Russian.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Who who you think people are gonna come up begging
to help him when the Russians come to invade Hunh
or the Chinese. Probably the redn accent you me looking,
you were wishing you had a redneck's house to run too.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
A factory worker in Russia was accidentally wired over seven
million rubles that'd be eighty seven thousand American dollars by
his employer, and he refuses to give the money back.
He received all of his colleague salaries by accident. Vladimir
Ruyshakov's work is now suing him, but he feels he
should be able to keep the money because it was
(14:29):
their technical error that led to the money and being
sent to his account.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Sure, I think we all believe that if somebody you
know sends me a bunch of money, I get to
keep it.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't know what the rules are in Russia. But
is it finders keepers? There is that? How they I
bit it ain't? Probably not a finder's keeper's role in Russia.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, no, there's probably some guy in the Russian mafia
that just expecting that money and.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, he better get it or il. They probably have
some weird role in Russia that says, if you want
to win or keep the money, you have to defeat
a bear in a vodka drinking contest. That would be cool,
It would be fun to watch. We should do that here,
just a bear and a Russian guy sitting at a
table with a bottle of vodka. First one to pass
out loses. You know what's fun.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You ever see those videos where they release animals back
into the wild after they've you know, you know, fixed them,
healed them up from a broken leg or whatever the
thing was. And every now and then, it's not always
every now and then, guy's got a grizzly bear in
the back of his truck in a cage, and he
backs the truck up to you know, the open prairie
(15:32):
that leads to the mountains, and then he gets out
of the truck and he climbs up on top of
the cage and he lifts the gate and lets the
bear out, And every now and then the bear immediately
turns around and gets the guy that's on top of
the cage. He's supposed to run off and be free.
Be free, bear, you're free, and the bear just decided
(15:54):
how about I eat you on the way out?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
What do you like more? A bear video or a
monkey video? O? Bear? For sure.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Bears are great monkeys. I'll take a monkey video nine
days a week. But the bears, I'm just I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, bear videos are so much fun, especially when the
bear isn't being violent, like it's tolerating a human and
you just keep thinking, when's he gonna rip his face off?
But then he doesn't rip his face at least not
on camera. You know who used to love watching that?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Don't forget boys and girls too eat it every day.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know when this happened.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I just recently found out that my preferred mainstream.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Candy bar is now Mounds.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
If you don't know what mounds, it's like almond Joy,
but there's no almond.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There's no joy. There's a lot of coconut. Oh baby,
this candy is fibrous. Mounds is a bad name. I
don't get it. This is the product is almond Joy.
That's a crucial ingredient plus a positive emotion. And I'm
joy not a bad name. Somebody worked on that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Whoo approved mounds.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Did they ever see the product? I eat my mounds weird.
I develop a little ritual of my own. What I
do is I open my candy bar and then I
pour a side of almonds. These are separate purchase, and
then I make my own joy. I shelve the almonds
into my mounds, way more than you get from my
(17:29):
regular almond joy. I pack it all up in the
real crunchy and I eat it like dog medicine.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I to hear that you'll sign off names. I to
hear that, sure sign off the name Walling and Johnson.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
They make things. Sorry. Well, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves.
