Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
First thing in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Well the music. Look, it's Cindy Lauper's theme. The goonies
are good enough. Did you grow up amongst the gooney
loving groups?

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I was a goony as a child. Absolutely, Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Do you remember the music video for this It featured
a bunch of pro wrestlers.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yes, they do. Captain Lou Albano. For some reason.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I don't know why that name is stuck in my head,
but it is. For some reason, the man had rubber
bands shoved into the skin of his face and they
just hung off his face like tentacled to rabbits.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Back in the nineteen eighties, right, tentacle rabbit. Yeah, that's
the thing.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Back in the nineteen eighties, Cindy Wopper hung out with
Andy Warhol and the two of them would hang out
with pro wrestlers. Now, now, what did that group of people?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Are you talking about? Andy Kaufman Right now, I'm talking
about Andy WARHOLN know who that guy is.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I never saw him wrestle, but Andy Kaufman stirred up
some trouble.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Andy Warhol is the soup can artist. He has not
a wrestler, He's an autiste.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Back before he got murdered.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
He used to go to the wrestle Mania events and
hang out with like hul Cogan and those guys.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
It was kind of like when we looked.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
At that photo of Princess Leiah with Jack Nicholson. It
was a very odd parent in Rick James. Yeah, what's
the one thing that this group has in common? What
brought those people together? I don't think of love of music.
I don't think that was I don't think it was there.
I don't think it was their love of wrestling either. No,
there was something people used to do a lot back
in the eighties. There's no way to know what it was.

(01:27):
If only, if only we knew, no one only. It's
a mystery. We'll never know the answer.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Somebody will look into it for us. In the meantime.
That's in the news now.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
What is that? What you were just talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Cindy Lauper doing cocaine with the pro wrestling guys inw
World Because.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
You brought it up.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's part of the news cycle of the Walton Johnson Show.
I think I don't think it's news. I think it's old.
All right, I have news. Do you remember a very
flamboyant lawyer from from Wyoming named Jerry Spence. No, I
remember seeing a you know, a guy who doesn't look

(02:04):
like a lawyer, looks like.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
In the in the Woods. He wore a fringed leather jackets.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
He does look familiar. He kind of looks like David
Carrodine a little bit. I hope he didn't meet the
same demise as David Carriddy. No. Luckily, he lived a
good long life and he just passed at the age
of ninety six years old.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
And this wasn't a autoerotic asphyxiation, was it. No, okay,
ninety six.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, I don't know if you even touch it when
you're ninety six, much less China anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I mean I think I will, but I mean not that.
But you know, yeah, you hope you will, boy, I
hope so.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
The reason I mean they used to go to him
on TV all the time for high profile cases because
he was a high profile guy and he got brought
a lot of attention. But he he had was involved
in some pretty serious cases. You may have heard of
Karen Silkwood, a nuclear whistleblower girl that was in the

(03:04):
news that made a movie about her. Then there was
he was the successful defense of Philippine First Lady Emmelda Marcos.
And he was responsible for the acquittal of survivalist Randy
Weaver in Idaho. I don't know about that whole Ruby
Ridge stand off, and just on and on it goes,
big name cases.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I remember Ruby Ridge, I don't remember the rest of it,
but immediately fascinated by this guy because of his apparel.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Look at this.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's hard to look good in a tactical vest, and
somehow this guy did it because it has fringe and
he had the same haircut as Peter Fonda. I mean,
I'm impressed. Really, Look, he's a cool look a dude.
He wrote a book called The Smoking Gun. That's a
little cliche, The Smoking Gun. Come on, you couldn't come
up with a better title than that.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Not a bit and cliche. When he wrote it, it
could have been decades ago. So this was this. He
wrote more than a dozen.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Books, by the way, and he was John Dutton's lawyer,
John on Yellowstone. Yeah, I mean same place, right, Okay, No,
that's not a real store.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, my bad, All right.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
He didn't in Yellowstones in Montana, But ain't it right
on the line there? Well, the ranch not but the park.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Look, I don't agree with liberals much, but Wyoming in Montana,
that's the same place. It is North Dakota and South Dakota,
same place, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island, whatever else is
up there. What do we need Rhode Island for just
near Hampshire. Yeah, that's the same place as Delaware.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
It's just the northeast.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Make that one state, right, Yeah, sorry, guys. You don't
get to have nine states.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
You don't get to jerry mandering the border of the states.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know what I love is Liberals once in a
while will say that they're so they're so easily triggered.
They'll tell you, oh, yeah, that politician only got elected
because of jerrymandering. And more than once I've heard them
say that about a senator. Wait a senator. No, there
is not a senator in America that got elected because
of jerrymandering. Not really sure you understand what jerry mandering

(05:06):
is anyway, Rest in peace to what was his name?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Mister Jerry Spence?

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Seems like a good guy. Why does he spell his
name with a G though? How do you feel about that?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
And why did he name all of his kids starting
with the letter K says he is survived by his
wife of fifty seven years.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Good for them, that's great, you know, the.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Brother and his children, Kip and Carrie and Kent and Katie.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
It was really weird when there were only three kids.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, the stockings with the initials looked bad at Christmas.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I wanted this studio to be called Kenny's Creative Club,
All K's.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
But then the management said no to that. Wonder why.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, they didn't like that idea apparently. But anyway, you know, management, Yeah,
better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Should have just done it. You're right, Billy, that's too late.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, Heraldo said something truthful and it was caught on video.
It's a very awkward moment. He was on News Nation recently.
He didn't work at Fox News anymore. They got rid
of her.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Wasn't he on till he? No? Didn't you say he
was caught on Mike?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
He was on cable news. I didn't we sorry, folks.
Does he know he was on television?

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah? I was supposed to.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Say words like that on TV. And I'm pretty sure, well,
many many years. He's older than us. He should have
known better.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well, we didn't know. Sorry, there was a SoundBite here.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I I for one, am offended by that language, and
we apologize that was an accident of the uh a
monumental degree. We did not mean for that to happen.
We're very sorry about it. And if you didn't hear it,
then it's never mind. Yeah, if you didn't hear it, it
doesn't matter anyway. It's kind of like a naked warrior
running through the streets at Charleston, South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
It was a hell of a video too. Oh.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Also, as far as videos go, the ga throw in
the sandwich still cracked me up. Not that you should
throw a sandwich at a police officer's very disrespectful. I
don't think he hurt the officer. But what was really
funny is he throws like a girl. Actually, no, I
like girls that can throw like girl softball. He throws

(07:17):
like a Democrat and he runs like one too.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
All right, this happened on the streets of Washington, DC.
A white guy with a pink shirt or is it
salmon colored, mister Kennon, it's salmon colored and.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
They look like skin tone to me.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
And khaki shorts, you know, in the creola box they
will say it's flesh. Well that back in the eighties
they chance on a peak. Yeah, that's not like that anymore,
or salmon. Anyway, he gets very angry. He grabs his
subway sandwich.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
What was he mad about? That?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
These are federal agents and national isolations ought not be there.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
He's a liberal. He ought to go stay in someplace else.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
This video went viral because Cash Battal, the head of
the FBI, posted it on social media. The guy angry
and he throws a sandwich at a federal agent and
then he runs, immediately runs for it like he knows.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Does look like a foot long too? That wasn't no
sixth inch.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
And when he throws the subway sandwich, I get the
impression he did not play a little league as a kid,
and immediately takes off running, being chased by several agents.
What you don't get to see in the video is
if they catch.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Him or not. But I think they did.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
And they jumped out on him. Yeah, they called him,
and goes, look at him, run, Yeah, look at him?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Run? Good lord, my man, have a little bit.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
They're wearing big vests and heavy belts and all that,
and they're still catching him.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Pretty quick. Well, you know, they're used to it.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Apparently, apparently these agents on the streets of Washington, d C.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Have chased people before, because.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Believe it or not, the streets of Washington, DC are
not as safe as you've heard on the news.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Oh no, I heard.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Everything's beautiful there. Matter of fact, Gavin Newsom, who's doing
everything he can to make sure you know he's the
anti Trump candidate for president. He announced that California is
going to double the amount of crime they have to
make up for the crime that Trump's not allowing to

(09:11):
happen in DC.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Wow, that's really nice of him, just to start a
ying and yang there. That doesn't sound I mean, okay,
it's Gavin news a bit maybe true. It sounds pretty
realistic to me. Hello, stay tuned for more.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Waltman Johnson's the best part of this all.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, I'm glad you didn't talk over that.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
That's a woman's voice or is it a muppet? You
don't know, you don't know to be a zombie. We're
obviously we're on the radio. We're on a lot of
different streaming platforms and we're doing we're streaming video today.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
We are yeah too, very much he told me I
was going to be on camera. Maybe I would have
made a little more of an effort. People are leaving
comments in the mean.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
You're not gonna be on camera though it's it's Kenny's
camera and it should stay pointed at Kenny.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Well, I'm very handsome, I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
If you want to tech camera over this way, I'll
just let you know. There are fourteen government agencies that
you have to secure permission from before you can show
my face on the internet.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Is that true? Yep, I believe him. No, it's true.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Why would he lie, mister Tyne exactly my point.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
And the animals, you know, acting crazy being a big
part of the natural disaster that's about to take place
somewhere out in the western part California or somewhere. That's
true too, although they the National Park Rangers and all
these guys have put out warnings and videos now. So No,
the animals aren't fleeing Yellowstone. No, this is not happening.

(10:40):
That's how you know it's happening. That's what they want exactly, right, Billyhead.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
People are leaving comments about you, among other things here, Well,
you better watch their mouth.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
One guy here says.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
That, wait, wait, but did they say anything nice? Yeah,
Billy had looks great today. This guy says, well, wait,
you didn't get to you to secure the permission of
fourteen government agencies before you put that out there. It's fine, Billy. Yeah,
who's listening anyway, guys? One gentleman says, Mississippi's watching. Dale says,
glad you're on you boob watching a live stream is

(11:11):
glitchy on X and I can't leave a comment, uh, man,
remember back in the day when you weren't commenting, No.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
You couldn't, like on a radio show man.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, you read the comments at the end of stuff.
That's some of the best best stuff out there's just
the people to comment on them after because it's almost
never nice. I hadn't read the comments yet on my
hop ed from earlier this week at the Houston Chronicle. Really,
do you think the comments are flattering?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Hardly? You know, think so?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
No, Like he said, people are very seldom nice. Yeah,
it's always fun to read the comment.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Nice hardly ever gets attention, does it?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well, you know how good you put the nice news
on first? No? No, they never do. It bleeds it
leads you know what I've never understood.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm told that at the bottom of some porno videos
you can leave a comment, and.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I, however, got to the end of I mean, I
had no idea. Also, who needs to leave a comment at? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh, I didn't find the actors believable. The writing could
have been better.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
What I don't know who watched this video and then
they thought, Wow, here's some things I want other men
who are fondling themselves to know.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
This is what you need to know that I think, dude,
don't don't, dude, I don't want to know. I know,
y'all just played a video of a dude don't want
a sandwich?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Some white boy mean in Washington a sandwich at an
ice agent and then took off like half ass run
and he was kind of prissing. But a guy in
the email wrote to us. He said, y'all seen that dude.
He went from throwing a sandwich to toss and a salad.
Don't just like that. You think he got arrested. Yeah,
they threw him in jail. It does seem pretty likely

(12:52):
that he did. Poor guy or not.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I don't know. I don't who knows, probably deserve more
email about that.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Captain Beyonce as it would be fitting if they could
arrange for the subway sandwich chunker to service time with Jared.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Wouldn't that be cute? Oh, I've thought subway buddies. Jared
fogel Is he's still alive right and in prison? And
wasn't he a Democrat? I'm just saying I think so.
I think it's important to point that out.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Did y'all know?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
There are some exciting things happening now with the Big
Beautiful Bill, And I will tell you I was a critic,
but a CPA just published a report at nasdak dot
com detailing some of the reasons why a middle class
guy is going to benefit from the Big Beautiful Bill.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
In short bill, yet, you're gonna save a bunch of money.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Here upsounds a lot of play on, Well, how where
am I going to save money?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Let's start with this. You're going to get a bigger
tax refund.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Your tax refund is going to increase from somewhere about
thirty five to fifty percent for your expenses. Okay, higher
standard deduction, that's pretty exciting, lower tax rates, and above
the line deductions. The Big Beautiful Bill introduces several above
the line deductions that may benefit middle income earners depending
on their employment circumstance. All right, Yeah, nobody gets a

(14:05):
break as good as the Mormons, though. Man, that's that's
got to be sweet if I mean, if you can
get away with it.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
But you know the worst part of me. You know,
you save.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Money if you file on your taxes married joint return
or whatever. You know, the tax advisor people, they'll tell
you file this way if you make this much money,
if you make this much money. But if you, you know,
file married joint return with a wife, apparently you get
a little credit for that. But imagine Mormon is like

(14:34):
you could file for you know, six wives and you
get all those credits. But would it be worth it,
that's the question.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
You only get that credit like once a year, but
you got to deal with six wives all year long.
One of the things I've learned about Mormon women a
lot of sexual what's the word I'm looking for? Well,
you know, surprisingly, yes, you wouldn't think they would be.
And who's telling you about the Mormon women.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
They're saying more Mormon women are telling you that other
Mormon women or deviate.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
That they're very uh, I guess there's a reality show
about it.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Did you know that a little rascally in the sack
that there's a lot of sexual So yeah, that they're
they're honorey. I guess that they believe the Lord said
go forth and multiply. It was in the Bible case,
you know, so they got to they got to do
what the Bible's like, Well, you have to do it
and also say make a joyful noise onto the Lord.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
That's why black churches got great bands.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
I don't think the Bible says anything though about drinking
box of wine at a ski resort in Park City,
Utah and then hooking up with someone back at the lodge.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I don't think it doesn't say not to well, am
I right? I guess it depends on he ass By.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
The way, before you guys start mouthing off, what you
assume happened in the sandwich throwing video. One of you
or maybe all of you, suggested that the officer did
not look like he was injured for while, he's wearing
a bulletproof vest, and the sandwich did hit him look
like in the vest. But you don't know and should

(16:07):
not assume what if he had a gluten allergy. Oh no, yeah,
you don't think about that, do you. But look, I
mean that gluten just splashed all over him.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh my god, you're right. Look it's an assault sandwich.
I think we all agree.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, don't trust China. China is asshole.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
You're listening to the Walton Johnson Radio Network.
