Speaker 1 (00:01):
I just fell into a I don't know, I can't.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I guess I probably shouldn't call it a black hole
of a wormhole fascinating a wormhole of fascinating things on
the Internet. I just saw this clip on the Internet
of a sketch comedy featuring something.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Called the N word alarm.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It was a ghetto alert map, and I was like,
that's very racist.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
So this is the kind of thing that just falls
into your lap when you get on to social media.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It was in a comment section about a post about
Spirit Airlines, and I was like, that's very it makes
me uncomfortable. But I was curious where did it come from?
So I asked Ai to tell me where it came from,
and it turns out it was created in nineteen seventy
five as part of a black exploitation comedy film called
Darktown Strutters.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
As if black people created it, then it can't be controversial, right.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, it was a comedy bit.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
There was a satirical police station scene where Officer Hugo
played by Dick Miller reacts to the over the top
ghetto alert system going off.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And then so I went and looked up the trailer
to the film.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
The alert sound like, is it a siren?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh, we can't play it on the air.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Because it involves the N word. It's alert alert alert.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Now, granted, this was a comedy film created for black
people by black people.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It was back in the seventies when people weren't so
touchy about every little thing and every little word. That
just set off a worldwide tragedy.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But time forgot about this film, and then racists on
the internet rediscovered it, and now they use it on
social media.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh, now the white folk got hold of it. When
you say racist, you mean white people. What about the
Southern poverty law firm? See, I could see why. I
get why you'd be confused, mister, ol. Modern day neo
Nazis are usually Hispanic teenagers.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
What Yeah, No, most of them are anymore. Yeah, like
guys like Nick Fuentes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, but they're white Hispanics though, because they're racists.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Who it depends.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
That's the kind of thing that makes them white.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I didn't like the racism, but I was curious about
the film, so I watched the trailer and that's when
I discovered this ron bank and the dramatics stood the
soundtrack to that movie.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
The music from the seventies was kick ass, baby.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And even though I hated all that racism, to introduce
our large, mostly white audience to this fantastic music from
the Motown era makes it all worth it. Look at
how all those guys dressed on the album cover.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Mister.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh, if mister Kenneth walked in here right now in
that outfit, we'd never stop making fun of him.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well, it's not the seventies anymore, but.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
For some reason, when those guys wore it, it was
the most masculine thing that ever happened.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You wouldn't say nothing to them if they walked in riding.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Up, Absolutely not. I'd try to dress like him if
I could. Of course, who wouldn't want to achieve that
cool look? Man, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Ron Banks, they never did make it big, I.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Guess, huh, Well, we never saw Ron Banks again. He
drowned to death in a giant pool of poon tang.
That's a good way to go, his homeboy. It's the dramatics.
They tried to rescue him, but they got sucked into sure.
That was the end of them. Yeah, and we never
heard from them again anyway. Rested peace to the Dramatics,
(03:09):
a great musical group.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, alright to and I've got some good financial news
for you this morning now kicked off way up, nasdac up.
What's that? S and smp s and m one of
them daneys ohh s and P five hundred. Yeah, we're
less than three hundred points away from hitting that fifty
thousand mark again, which we did right before that little
(03:33):
conflict in Iran and looked like we hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Back to that real soon. Yeah, guys, the peace rules.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
May twenty six US economy outlook doesn't look too grim.
It's a two percent growth for the first quarter here,
following a slowdown last year. The growth is largely driven
by AI investments, and even though the tariffs and the
Muslims are slowing things down a little, unemployment not too shabby.
Consumer spending persists, high living costs, they say.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I still say that unemployment would be way different if
so many people didn't get paid to stay.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Home and not work.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, imagine what the employment or unemployment rate would be
if people had to get up all our ass and
go actually earn a living.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, there are people out there that want to work,
even though they can't. I'll tell you a story happened
to me last weekend. It's a little anecdote, if you will.
We're doing a comedy show in Arnge, Texas. Did I
say I correctly? I know it's an O for some reason.
You correct me on golf and golf, but on orange
or range it's like the opposite.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, well, never try to figure this out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We're at the comedy show and there's a gentleman there.
Older guys seem very smart. He was tinkering around with things.
He was like the tech guy.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh yeah, he's a tinkerer.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He was kind of like you, Billy, had reminded me
of you a little bit. Good old boy redneck seemed
to know his way around a circuit board. And I
asked him, because he was wearing a Star Wars shirt,
if he was excited about the new movie that's coming
out Baby Yoda, Oh boy, And he said something to me,
And I gotta tell you, it's been lingering in the
back of my mind for days.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
What do you say? What did you say?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
He said, I'd love to go see it, but I
just can't afford to go see a movie right now.
I'm an out of work. Chemical engineer can't afford a
movie ticket? That was what I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Maybe he has a family of five, and you know,
he wouldn't want to go alone like you would, you know,
because you're all alone and sad in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Maybe he can't afford to take a family of five
to the movie theater anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And I'm not sure I could either.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So I taught him, you know, I, Hey, cheer up there,
don't look so club.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You call him sparky.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Here's how you could steal movies on the internet. Oh,
so you taught him a skill. No, I didn't know.
But you can't do that. Apparently, apparently people do it.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, if you clack around on that keyboard long enough,
something was liable to fall off into your lap.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But do you remember years I'm against it, by the way,
but do you remember years ago watching bootlegged movies and
they're like, oh, we got a copy of the new
Batman film.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It just came out, but I got the DVD.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You'd buy it from some guy on the street, take
it home, and it's just him in the movie theater
with a cam.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Corder, just videoing the screen. Is crap.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And once every ten minutes someone stands up in the
film and you're like, get down, you get down in
front there.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
People got a pee you know, Oh they need to
replenish their popcorn because I can't sit there for two
hours and not stuff your face.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That happened to me last weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I've been doing stand up comedy now kind of seriously
for about a year, and so people say, Kenny, you
never post clips. So on Saturday, I brought a tripod
and a camera and I set it up, hit record
right before I went on stage, got off stage, and
I go and I get my phone there, get that,
and I look at the video, and right as I
started to perform, a guy sat down in front of it.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
He turned perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
He turns around, looks directly into the camera and then
he turns back and his head's in front of the camera.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The whole performance. Nice, I know, He's like, well you did?
You thank him later? You know, cause owise, you would
have had to watch yourself on camera. You ever look
at yourself on camera? It's like hearing your voice on
the radio for the first time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That ain't me, you know. One of the problems with
me is I like me. I think I'm handsome, that happens.
I enjoy looking. And by the way, a little update here.
It turns out the Dramatics are still around the American
soul music group. They even did a collaboration back in
the nineties with Snoop Dogg called Doggy Dog World. It
hit number twenty on the Billboard Rhythmic Top forty.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Even with all of that help, we still didn't know
anything about the Dramatics. Now we've heard of the Four Tops,
the Temptations and people like that that were around that
same time frame doing the same, But the Dramatics never
never got that kind of fame.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I never knew about them. But look at all the
people that had been in the group, and they have
fun names like James JB. Mac Brown, Willie Wee g
Howard Barrington, Bow Henderson, and don't forget Larry the Squirrel Dumps.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
What about Bingo?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Where's that? Oh yeah, Bengo there? Yeah, I got Benga
Barrington Bow.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh no, that's a different Hey, they all have cool
We should have cool names like that. Mister, Oh, how
come I can't have a cool black guy nicknamed like
Kenny the Squirrel Websters? Are you a cool black man?
I mean, I'm trying, you're not. I feel like I'm not.
I feel like I'm cool black guy adjacent.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
But then you're not.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I live down the street from a cool black guy
you work with one, yeah, exactly, and some who we're
talking about.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
No, see, I have a big, strong believer that size
doesn't matter at all.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Wilton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Speaks dog over there, the background singer. That's who I
would be. I'd be Oh so people, bro. The only
problem of playing this music. Imagine how much ovulation is
happening when we put this out into America's airwaves. Could
you imagine right now babies are being sired all over
the Gulf of America from here in a mobile all
(08:58):
the way up to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Women are getting
impregnated just from the sound of this music.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I think, if you're gonna do the backup thing, though,
you have to be able to do this.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Oh yeah, the dance is doing like a train thing.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, back and forth, left right, But you have to
be able to do that the entire show. You think
you want to do this for like two hours? No,
that's a young man's game right there.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The dance, the background dance that the dramatics did was
called the train, And yet somehow when they said they
were gonna do a train, it meant something totally different.
That was later after the console. Oh yeah, after the
concert there was two kinds of trains. I wonder if
they had to have two different terms for train A
and train B. Probably and they'd confuse those. You know,
the baritone and the band thought what they were doing
(09:44):
wine when it.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Was no, we're just doing singing rehearsal. What's your pants
back on? You come on? Claven?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well, good news.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
The celebrity update coming up very soon, including those wonderful
celebrity birthdays that you you just you know, line up
to listen for this day in history, of course. But
one of the celebrity news updates that Kenny brought in
this morning I thought was fascinating.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
What's that the Eileen Goo?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Now the trouble with well that Jerry Seinfeld finds himself in.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now. We discussed this off the air earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Jerry Seinfeld, a notable car enthusiast, is dissing electric vehicles.
He says, their big stupid virtue signaling devices. Look at me,
I'm saving the planet. What about the lithium? It's all BS,
says Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I've been telling you that for years. He's finally come
around to our what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And I posted that on social media and then in
the comment section someone said.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, but he's a Jew. Oh no, f fat Zionist.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Like called that's the best argument you've got against what
he said.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Calm down, Internet, Jeez, we're not people names. This isn't
about everything's not about Israel. Some buy evs because Tesla's
have great utilities, says Shelley function Performance. I have a
friend who wants to buy a EV because it drives itself.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You know, if you want an electric car because maybe
it'll save you money, maybe it won't. It doesn't have
to be because you're all greened up and everything. It
could just because maybe it's cool. They're quiet, and sometimes
they'll drive themselves and you can just take a nap.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know, I don't think don't'rel to do that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Well, yeah, but you know people will, or you can
watch a movie, you know, while you drive to work
or the car drives you, especially home in the afternoon.
You know, in the morning you want to listen to
the morning radio obviously to start your day right on
the way home. You know, the afternoon radio is fine,
but if you need different stimulation, just let the car
do the driving and you can watch a movie on
(11:45):
your iPad or something.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I don't think I would ever trust the car to
drive it, so no, I mean like no, I'd always
have my hands on the wheel and my foot near
the brake.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Absolutely, just in case you know their cities is lost.
In California, they have what are those called waymos. We
have them here and they have them here now. I've
been behind a couple of them. I don't want to
get in front of it. I let it stay in
front of me so I can watch it. Out In
Vegas they have something I don't even know how you
pronounce it, but they're these little stupid looking cars, and
(12:18):
they've got cameras on the top of the car on
all four corners.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It sounds like you're describing the way moos.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's pretty much something, but it's a different name for
the company. And the taxi drivers and the uber drivers
there are like, yes, stay away from those things.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They'll run you right over. Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Your eve drops you off at the concert, the baseball game, dinner, whatever.
Then it parks itself. Oh fun, there's no parking around here. Hey,
it'll drive a mile away.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Drive far away to find a parking space, and then
you can just summon it like a dog to come
back and get you.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Do you trust that? No? I mean neither.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What if somebody steals it while it's parking it self
in a bad neighborhood because it found a space.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh, I'm sure it would be an equitable I'm sure.
I'm sure it wouldn't discriminate against certain neighborhoods, and nor
would we want it to.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
No, never, wont that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Speaking of bad decisions, a school director in Arkansas is
facing jail time, house arrest in probation after authorities accused
her of being the ringleader of a child fight club.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Fight club, what's the first rule of child fight club?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You're not supposed to talk about it on a morning
talk radio show. Yeah, and you're actually not supposed to
have one. But this is also a podcast, so I
think we'll be fine. Mary Tracy Morris in age fifty one,
is the owner and director of the Delta Institute for
the Developing Brain and the Engage Program in Jonesborough, Arkansas.
That just sounds like the leering center to me, yes
(13:51):
it does. And Mary's being charged with one count of
permitting child abuse in four counts of contributing to the
delinquency of a juvenile what happened while She was sentenced
to sixty months probation on Monday on the child abuse charge,
in twelve months probation for each of the other chargers,
she will serve thirty days and the Craig Had County
Detention Center. Prosecutors believe, based on witness accounts and video evidence,
(14:14):
Morrison systematically abused and humiliated students attending her school. They
arrested her last year about this time after the mom
of one of the students at the school claimed that
her son reported being mentally and physically abused.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Now, we had a child fight club at my school
when I was coming up down in Clute, but the
kids didn't fight each other. We had several kids there
in the school that wanted to fight the teachers and
I forget half his math or English class. We had
a dude named Tim. I won't tell you his last
name because he's probably still around. He might be in jail.
(14:52):
Tim got up one day and we had a substitute
teacher it was a dude, okay, and normally we'd have
a female. And I guess Tim didn't think he had
to listen to this guy because he's a substitute. And
a teacher told him to get back to your seat,
sit down at your desk, and he didn't want to,
so he kicked the substitute teacher right in the balls. Wow,
and then threatened to throw him out the window.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Now the window was one of them that just opens,
you know, like maybe a foot. It wasn't just one
of up and down. It opened at an angle.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I gotcha.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
And there was no way he was going to get
that big old lard ass substitute teacher through that window,
but he told him he was going to.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I hate that this is true, but this is not
the first time it's happened. The years ago, you remember
we learned about Toddler Fight Club in Delaware. Yeah, there
were three women arrested after they were forcing Toddlers to
fight each other for their entertainment, which sounds terrible, Bob.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
First rule is.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You do not talk about Toddler fight Club.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Second rule is you do not talk about Toddler Fight Club.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You do not dirty diaper.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No finching only punching, no rattles, no sandboxing, no flanks
and if you.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
No snack, see you on the letter mat that is roough.
That is cold bloated out. I play.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yeah, it's not fun unless you win, you know. Well, yeah,
winning changes everything, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I guess if you get punched in the mouth enough,
it's not gonna matter because you didn't have any teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So that's okay. Look at the positives.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, exactly, you got that binky. Still isn't Hobo Fight
Club the best?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Mmm?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I mean that's still the go to, right, sure, Hobo
fight Well I think it was called bum fights.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, fullless hobo boom whatever they are.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Back right before social media became a real big deal,
there was this guy selling these vhs and DVDs on
the internet called bum Fights and he said he was
doing it to raise awareness for the homeless.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Of course he was.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But what he would do is get two fight people,
homeless people to fight each other for a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
See, what you don't realize is that they will fight
harder for a beer or a small bottle of whiskey
or maybe you know, a Chick fil a especially than
they would to defend their home or their country or
their family.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, bumfights was cruel. What I did was much better,
of course. Yeah, yeah, you can ask what I did?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Well? I used to do a contest on my old
podcast called Meal or No Meal, where I would show
up to a homeless encampment with some like egg salad sandwiches,
and I would tell this homeless guy if you could
tell me the name of your congressman, or you know,
who's the speaker of the house, or.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That thing on where they go out on the street.
Ask college kids questions about stuff that they should know.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And if they get it right, you know, I give
them a meal. But if they get it wrong, they
have to watch me eat the sandwich.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh sweet, yeah, egg salad.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Though, uh it was fine, but then I got punched
right here. Oh yeah, that's when you lost it too. Yeah,
and then I got stabbed over here. Women love scars.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You take your shirt off in front of a woman,
she's gonna just start, oh you're a scar.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah. But then they're not as turned on after I
tell them the story. How bad?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, yeah, go to church find Jesus, Like, I mean,
why is everybody so Horning here, Walton and Johnson
I just fell into a I don't know, I can't.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I guess I probably shouldn't call it a black hole
of a wormhole fascinating a wormhole of fascinating things on
the Internet. I just saw this clip on the Internet
of a sketch comedy featuring something.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Called the N word alarm.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It was a ghetto alert map, and I was like,
that's very racist.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
So this is the kind of thing that just falls
into your lap when you get on to social media.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It was in a comment section about a post about
Spirit Airlines, and I was like, that's very it makes
me uncomfortable. But I was curious where did it come from?
So I asked Ai to tell me where it came from,
and it turns out it was created in nineteen seventy
five as part of a black exploitation comedy film called
Darktown Strutters.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
As if black people created it, then it can't be controversial, right.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, it was a comedy bit.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
There was a satirical police station scene where Officer Hugo
played by Dick Miller reacts to the over the top
ghetto alert system going off.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And then so I went and looked up the trailer
to the film.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
The alert sound like, is it a siren?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh, we can't play it on the air.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Because it involves the N word. It's alert alert alert.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Now, granted, this was a comedy film created for black
people by black people.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It was back in the seventies when people weren't so
touchy about every little thing and every little word. That
just set off a worldwide tragedy.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But time forgot about this film, and then racists on
the internet rediscovered it, and now they use it on
social media.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh, now the white folk got hold of it. When
you say racist, you mean white people. What about the
Southern poverty law firm? See, I could see why. I
get why you'd be confused, mister, ol. Modern day neo
Nazis are usually Hispanic teenagers.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
What Yeah, No, most of them are anymore. Yeah, like
guys like Nick Fuentes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, but they're white Hispanics though, because they're racists.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Who it depends.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
That's the kind of thing that makes them white.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I didn't like the racism, but I was curious about
the film, so I watched the trailer and that's when
I discovered this ron bank and the dramatics stood the
soundtrack to that movie.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
The music from the seventies was kick ass, baby.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And even though I hated all that racism, to introduce
our large, mostly white audience to this fantastic music from
the Motown era makes it all worth it. Look at
how all those guys dressed on the album cover.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Mister.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh, if mister Kenneth walked in here right now in
that outfit, we'd never stop making fun of him.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well, it's not the seventies anymore, but.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
For some reason, when those guys wore it, it was
the most masculine thing that ever happened.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You wouldn't say nothing to them if they walked in riding.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Up, Absolutely not. I'd try to dress like him if
I could. Of course, who wouldn't want to achieve that
cool look? Man, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Ron Banks, they never did make it big, I.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Guess, huh, Well, we never saw Ron Banks again. He
drowned to death in a giant pool of poon tang.
That's a good way to go, his homeboy. It's the dramatics.
They tried to rescue him, but they got sucked into sure.
That was the end of them. Yeah, and we never
heard from them again anyway. Rested peace to the Dramatics,
(03:09):
a great musical group.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, alright to and I've got some good financial news
for you this morning now kicked off way up, nasdac up.
What's that? S and smp s and m one of
them daneys ohh s and P five hundred. Yeah, we're
less than three hundred points away from hitting that fifty
thousand mark again, which we did right before that little
(03:33):
conflict in Iran and looked like we hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Back to that real soon. Yeah, guys, the peace rules.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
May twenty six US economy outlook doesn't look too grim.
It's a two percent growth for the first quarter here,
following a slowdown last year. The growth is largely driven
by AI investments, and even though the tariffs and the
Muslims are slowing things down a little, unemployment not too shabby.
Consumer spending persists, high living costs, they say.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I still say that unemployment would be way different if
so many people didn't get paid to stay.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Home and not work.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, imagine what the employment or unemployment rate would be
if people had to get up all our ass and
go actually earn a living.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You know, there are people out there that want to work,
even though they can't. I'll tell you a story happened
to me last weekend. It's a little anecdote, if you will.
We're doing a comedy show in Arnge, Texas. Did I
say I correctly? I know it's an O for some reason.
You correct me on golf and golf, but on orange
or range it's like the opposite.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, well, never try to figure this out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We're at the comedy show and there's a gentleman there.
Older guys seem very smart. He was tinkering around with things.
He was like the tech guy.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Oh yeah, he's a tinkerer.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He was kind of like you, Billy, had reminded me
of you a little bit. Good old boy redneck seemed
to know his way around a circuit board. And I
asked him, because he was wearing a Star Wars shirt,
if he was excited about the new movie that's coming
out Baby Yoda, Oh boy, And he said something to me,
And I gotta tell you, it's been lingering in the
back of my mind for days.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
What do you say? What did you say?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
He said, I'd love to go see it, but I
just can't afford to go see a movie right now.
I'm an out of work. Chemical engineer can't afford a
movie ticket? That was what I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Maybe he has a family of five, and you know,
he wouldn't want to go alone like you would, you know,
because you're all alone and sad in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Maybe he can't afford to take a family of five
to the movie theater anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And I'm not sure I could either.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So I taught him, you know, I, Hey, cheer up there,
don't look so club.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You call him sparky.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Here's how you could steal movies on the internet. Oh,
so you taught him a skill. No, I didn't know.
But you can't do that. Apparently, apparently people do it.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, if you clack around on that keyboard long enough,
something was liable to fall off into your lap.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But do you remember years I'm against it, by the way,
but do you remember years ago watching bootlegged movies and
they're like, oh, we got a copy of the new
Batman film.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It just came out, but I got the DVD.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You'd buy it from some guy on the street, take
it home, and it's just him in the movie theater
with a cam.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Corder, just videoing the screen. Is crap.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And once every ten minutes someone stands up in the
film and you're like, get down, you get down in
front there.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
People got a pee you know, Oh they need to
replenish their popcorn because I can't sit there for two
hours and not stuff your face.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That happened to me last weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I've been doing stand up comedy now kind of seriously
for about a year, and so people say, Kenny, you
never post clips. So on Saturday, I brought a tripod
and a camera and I set it up, hit record
right before I went on stage, got off stage, and
I go and I get my phone there, get that,
and I look at the video, and right as I
started to perform, a guy sat down in front of it.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
He turned perfect.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
He turns around, looks directly into the camera and then
he turns back and his head's in front of the camera.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
The whole performance. Nice, I know, He's like, well you did?
You thank him later? You know, cause owise, you would
have had to watch yourself on camera. You ever look
at yourself on camera? It's like hearing your voice on
the radio for the first time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That ain't me, you know. One of the problems with
me is I like me. I think I'm handsome, that happens.
I enjoy looking. And by the way, a little update here.
It turns out the Dramatics are still around the American
soul music group. They even did a collaboration back in
the nineties with Snoop Dogg called Doggy Dog World. It
hit number twenty on the Billboard Rhythmic Top forty.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Even with all of that help, we still didn't know
anything about the Dramatics. Now we've heard of the Four Tops,
the Temptations and people like that that were around that
same time frame doing the same, But the Dramatics never
never got that kind of fame.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I never knew about them. But look at all the
people that had been in the group, and they have
fun names like James JB. Mac Brown, Willie Wee g
Howard Barrington, Bow Henderson, and don't forget Larry the Squirrel Dumps.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
What about Bingo?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Where's that? Oh yeah, Bengo there? Yeah, I got Benga
Barrington Bow.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh no, that's a different Hey, they all have cool
We should have cool names like that. Mister, Oh, how
come I can't have a cool black guy nicknamed like
Kenny the Squirrel Websters? Are you a cool black man?
I mean, I'm trying, you're not. I feel like I'm not.
I feel like I'm cool black guy adjacent.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
But then you're not.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I live down the street from a cool black guy
you work with one, yeah, exactly, and some who we're
talking about.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
No, see, I have a big, strong believer that size
doesn't matter at all.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Wilton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Speaks dog over there, the background singer. That's who I
would be. I'd be Oh so people, bro. The only
problem of playing this music. Imagine how much ovulation is
happening when we put this out into America's airwaves. Could
you imagine right now babies are being sired all over
the Gulf of America from here in a mobile all
(08:58):
the way up to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Women are getting
impregnated just from the sound of this music.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I think, if you're gonna do the backup thing, though,
you have to be able to do this.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Oh yeah, the dance is doing like a train thing.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, back and forth, left right, But you have to
be able to do that the entire show. You think
you want to do this for like two hours? No,
that's a young man's game right there.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The dance, the background dance that the dramatics did was
called the train, And yet somehow when they said they
were gonna do a train, it meant something totally different.
That was later after the console. Oh yeah, after the
concert there was two kinds of trains. I wonder if
they had to have two different terms for train A
and train B. Probably and they'd confuse those. You know,
the baritone and the band thought what they were doing
(09:44):
wine when it.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Was no, we're just doing singing rehearsal. What's your pants
back on? You come on? Claven?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well, good news.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
The celebrity update coming up very soon, including those wonderful
celebrity birthdays that you you just you know, line up
to listen for this day in history, of course. But
one of the celebrity news updates that Kenny brought in
this morning I thought was fascinating.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
What's that the Eileen Goo?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Now the trouble with well that Jerry Seinfeld finds himself in.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now. We discussed this off the air earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Jerry Seinfeld, a notable car enthusiast, is dissing electric vehicles.
He says, their big stupid virtue signaling devices. Look at me,
I'm saving the planet. What about the lithium? It's all BS,
says Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I've been telling you that for years. He's finally come
around to our what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And I posted that on social media and then in
the comment section someone said.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, but he's a Jew. Oh no, f fat Zionist.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Like called that's the best argument you've got against what
he said.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Calm down, Internet, Jeez, we're not people names. This isn't
about everything's not about Israel. Some buy evs because Tesla's
have great utilities, says Shelley function Performance. I have a
friend who wants to buy a EV because it drives itself.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You know, if you want an electric car because maybe
it'll save you money, maybe it won't. It doesn't have
to be because you're all greened up and everything. It
could just because maybe it's cool. They're quiet, and sometimes
they'll drive themselves and you can just take a nap.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know, I don't think don't'rel to do that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Well, yeah, but you know people will, or you can
watch a movie, you know, while you drive to work
or the car drives you, especially home in the afternoon.
You know, in the morning you want to listen to
the morning radio obviously to start your day right on
the way home. You know, the afternoon radio is fine,
but if you need different stimulation, just let the car
do the driving and you can watch a movie on
(11:45):
your iPad or something.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I don't think I would ever trust the car to
drive it, so no, I mean like no, I'd always
have my hands on the wheel and my foot near
the brake.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Absolutely, just in case you know their cities is lost.
In California, they have what are those called waymos. We
have them here and they have them here now. I've
been behind a couple of them. I don't want to
get in front of it. I let it stay in
front of me so I can watch it. Out In
Vegas they have something I don't even know how you
pronounce it, but they're these little stupid looking cars, and
(12:18):
they've got cameras on the top of the car on
all four corners.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It sounds like you're describing the way moos.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's pretty much something, but it's a different name for
the company. And the taxi drivers and the uber drivers
there are like, yes, stay away from those things.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They'll run you right over. Have you heard of this?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Your eve drops you off at the concert, the baseball game, dinner, whatever.
Then it parks itself. Oh fun, there's no parking around here. Hey,
it'll drive a mile away.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Drive far away to find a parking space, and then
you can just summon it like a dog to come
back and get you.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Do you trust that? No? I mean neither.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What if somebody steals it while it's parking it self
in a bad neighborhood because it found a space.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Oh, I'm sure it would be an equitable I'm sure.
I'm sure it wouldn't discriminate against certain neighborhoods, and nor
would we want it to.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
No, never, wont that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Speaking of bad decisions, a school director in Arkansas is
facing jail time, house arrest in probation after authorities accused
her of being the ringleader of a child fight club.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Fight club, what's the first rule of child fight club?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You're not supposed to talk about it on a morning
talk radio show. Yeah, and you're actually not supposed to
have one. But this is also a podcast, so I
think we'll be fine. Mary Tracy Morris in age fifty one,
is the owner and director of the Delta Institute for
the Developing Brain and the Engage Program in Jonesborough, Arkansas.
That just sounds like the leering center to me, yes
(13:51):
it does. And Mary's being charged with one count of
permitting child abuse in four counts of contributing to the
delinquency of a juvenile what happened while She was sentenced
to sixty months probation on Monday on the child abuse charge,
in twelve months probation for each of the other chargers,
she will serve thirty days and the Craig Had County
Detention Center. Prosecutors believe, based on witness accounts and video evidence,
(14:14):
Morrison systematically abused and humiliated students attending her school. They
arrested her last year about this time after the mom
of one of the students at the school claimed that
her son reported being mentally and physically abused.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Now, we had a child fight club at my school
when I was coming up down in Clute, but the
kids didn't fight each other. We had several kids there
in the school that wanted to fight the teachers and
I forget half his math or English class. We had
a dude named Tim. I won't tell you his last
name because he's probably still around. He might be in jail.
(14:52):
Tim got up one day and we had a substitute
teacher it was a dude, okay, and normally we'd have
a female. And I guess Tim didn't think he had
to listen to this guy because he's a substitute. And
a teacher told him to get back to your seat,
sit down at your desk, and he didn't want to,
so he kicked the substitute teacher right in the balls. Wow,
and then threatened to throw him out the window.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Now the window was one of them that just opens,
you know, like maybe a foot. It wasn't just one
of up and down. It opened at an angle.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I gotcha.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
And there was no way he was going to get
that big old lard ass substitute teacher through that window,
but he told him he was going to.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I hate that this is true, but this is not
the first time it's happened. The years ago, you remember
we learned about Toddler Fight Club in Delaware. Yeah, there
were three women arrested after they were forcing Toddlers to
fight each other for their entertainment, which sounds terrible, Bob.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
First rule is.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You do not talk about Toddler fight Club.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Second rule is you do not talk about Toddler Fight Club.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You do not dirty diaper.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No finching only punching, no rattles, no sandboxing, no flanks
and if you.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
No snack, see you on the letter mat that is roough.
That is cold bloated out. I play.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yeah, it's not fun unless you win, you know. Well, yeah,
winning changes everything, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I guess if you get punched in the mouth enough,
it's not gonna matter because you didn't have any teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So that's okay. Look at the positives.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, exactly, you got that binky. Still isn't Hobo Fight
Club the best?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Mmm?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I mean that's still the go to, right, sure, Hobo
fight Well I think it was called bum fights.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, fullless hobo boom whatever they are.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Back right before social media became a real big deal,
there was this guy selling these vhs and DVDs on
the internet called bum Fights and he said he was
doing it to raise awareness for the homeless.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Of course he was.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But what he would do is get two fight people,
homeless people to fight each other for a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
See, what you don't realize is that they will fight
harder for a beer or a small bottle of whiskey
or maybe you know, a Chick fil a especially than
they would to defend their home or their country or
their family.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, bumfights was cruel. What I did was much better,
of course. Yeah, yeah, you can ask what I did?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Well? I used to do a contest on my old
podcast called Meal or No Meal, where I would show
up to a homeless encampment with some like egg salad sandwiches,
and I would tell this homeless guy if you could
tell me the name of your congressman, or you know,
who's the speaker of the house, or.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
That thing on where they go out on the street.
Ask college kids questions about stuff that they should know.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And if they get it right, you know, I give
them a meal. But if they get it wrong, they
have to watch me eat the sandwich.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh sweet, yeah, egg salad.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Though, uh it was fine, but then I got punched
right here. Oh yeah, that's when you lost it too. Yeah,
and then I got stabbed over here. Women love scars.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You take your shirt off in front of a woman,
she's gonna just start, oh you're a scar.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah. But then they're not as turned on after I
tell them the story. How bad?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, yeah, go to church find Jesus, Like, I mean,
why is everybody so Horning here, Walton and Johnson
