Speaker 1 (00:00):
A good time right there. You know, I play this
for you, but I know you. I know you've been
kind of sad lately on Saturday nights.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Is this a parky ride up on't it?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
I mean we need it right now.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, buddy, there's a lot, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Of good things happening in America right now, but all
is not perfect in the Walton Johnson listening region.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We'd like it to be more perfect, or so we
jumping in when we can.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
All right, So, LSU, Ole, Miss Texas A and m
U two. Which of our listeners do you think? What
what team? Bulldogs? Don't forget Bold, don't forget. There's a
lot of SEC teams and great college football teams out
there that our listeners are fans of, but one team
we always come back to.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Go Tigers Man Godard. I know, I know Ed was great,
wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The problem is this guy Brian was not great, and
I think we gave him a little too much money.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, I mean, not me. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's not our money.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Nobody asked me.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But okay, So the athletic director of the LSU not
a popular guy right now, and the governor of Louisiana,
a man of the people, truly a populist as far
as populist go is.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Calling this dude out, Scott is that his name?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Actually, I'm Scott Woodward is a director.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
And then there's this another guy, Rolf's Bork Buyorke something
like that. I don't know who was involved in all
this kind of stuff too, but I'm sure the governor
could probably educate us on this.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
There's also talk at LSU of putting up a Charlie
Kirk statue, and a lot of hubbub still going on
about escaped monkeys from Tulane. All things I want to
hear from Governor Landry on right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We didn't pick up the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
We have Governor Landry on the line, Yes I have.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I've been waiting at you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
The Governor's waiting, Governor Jeff Landry, Welcome to the Walton
and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Sarah, Good morning, guys, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
You're right. We this week's been crazy. You missed a
couple of things.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You missed one the government, the federal government shut down,
so snap benefits fostat program is getting run out of money,
you know. And then and then this week we have
to deal with the city, and the autists said they
needed one hundred and thirty million dollars to make payroll.
Y'all guys should come down here and have some of
that chaotic fund that I'm having.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It looks like you go you up to ug in
in it or up there.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, I'm right up into the head the noose line.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
I'm just hoping nobody just puts their foot on my head.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Since since she brought it up, can we talk about
that New Orleans thing first? It's my understanding they only
put aside thirty seven thousand dollars for overtime pay, which
it sounds like that was a mistake they made on
purpose so they could do this later on. But am
I maybe I'm just a little too suspicious of people?
Speaker 6 (02:32):
What happened, Jeff, Well, that's the problem. We really don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
They just came to said, hey, listen, we just need
one hundred and thirty million dollars because we're not going
to be able to make payroll. And so we said, well,
you know, we got this thing in Louisiana call a
fiscal review committee made up of the Thurney General and
the Treasurer and the legitative auditor, just go before them,
and let's just open the books up and see exactly
what's wrong. And if you need the money, we'll figure
out a way to approve the bonds. And and maybe
(02:59):
you need what's called fiscal administrator for a little while
to kind of make sure that we're using the money
where you said you use the money, because you know,
sometimes you send the money down to New Orleans and
it doesn't exactly go where.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
It's supposed to be. Yeah, you know, it happens just
a couple of times anyhow, And so.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
So all of a sudden, miraculously, miraculously, yesterday they said, no.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
We are not going in front of fiscal we don't
need the money. Okay, well you don't.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Need I don't know. This is a state tuned deal, Kenny,
are just gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It does seem unfair to make people in Shreport and
Bojer and Alexandria and Lafayatt and Lake Charles bailout New Orleans.
I mean, what, New Orleans got a lot of money.
Why should somebody in Monroe have to pay for that?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
What the big the big thing is I think you
hit the narrow smack on the head. Is that we have.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
When I was Attorney General, remember so Liz is now.
When I was, I sat on the Fiscal Review Committee,
and that's how we treated every other municipality or political
subdivision of the state when they had problems. I guess
New Orleans is just always believed that the really not
quite part of the state of New Orleans, and then
she was just gonna treat them all the same.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I think that that's the best way to do.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Thoughts on incoming mayor Helena Moreno compared us, If you
could compare to LaToya Cantrell, we'd not love to know
your thoughts on her.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Are you optimistic?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
I am? I am optimistic.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I think that Helena comes in after watching you know,
the last what it was in eight years of debacle
that we've had it out out of the city, and
I'm hoping that she she's going to change the trajectory.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I love that, all right. Charlie Kirk's statue at LSU.
This happened after the loyal A turning point event. This
seems like a great idea to me. There are so
many young conservatives, young Republicans at LSU.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Why shouldn't they have a Charlie Kirk statue, Well.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I mean exactly, think about this.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Go around college campuses today in America and find me
a symbol, Okay, find me an icon of the First Amendment.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Right, it's all been.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
It was never put up, never banished or banished either one.
Because we have really trampled on the First Amendment at
our college campuses and the place where the First Amendment
means the most, where you want young people who are
interacting with each other to be able to agree, to disagree,
to understand, to talk about different ideas, and the only
way to do that is engaging that kind of dialogue.
(05:19):
And that is exactly what unfortunately killed Charlie Kirk. That
that's the saddest part.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
That is the saddest part. He was never vile, he
was never rude.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
He went right into the campuses, he engaged, He talked
to anybody.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
He took to anybody.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And you know, so we had a turning point event
two days right after his assassination. It was unbelieveare like
nine hundred students coming and that night we had one
with fifteen hundred. They tell me there's going to be
ten thousand at Ole.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Miss I guess this coming week. Of course, Jamie Vance
and Erica Kirk's going to be there that night.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, that was last night. Yeah, you're correct too, was
last night Hues massive. Yeah, well you spoke just recently
at the LSU turning point. That was a pretty good
crowd too, right.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Yeah, that's what I was saying. Yeah, we had over
fifteen hundred people. We put it inside, which limited amount
of people that we had. We had way more demand,
but you know, based upon security and those things, we
decided to have it inside.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It was one Charlie and I had talked about this
in July.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
He was really looking forward to coming to LSU.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
I mean, just so it's tough, still tough to tell you.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
All right, let's talk about Brian Kelly for a minute.
We've been working hard here during I know, sorry, I know,
force a habit. Yeah, I'm very angry, Billy ed. We've
come up with some suggestions to replace Brian Kelly. I
don't know if you've considered these, Governor. We're looking at Emerald.
He could be good, Lil Wayne if he's available. Man
that was mine, by the way, Duck dynasty. Maybe one
of the uncles c or one of those guys could
(06:55):
be good.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I think, what were you thinking?
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Well, look, here's the thing. I will take this list
I jib of the names down.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I'm gonna pass it on to the Board of Supervisors,
who I'm hoping today will announce a search committee for
the next LSU coach.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I'm not picking the next LSU coach.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I just want to make sure that the contract is
such that the state Louisiana, number one can afford it.
It has some metrics in it, and we're not gonna
be able to be rewarding failure.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, yeah, we've asked the question multiple times. Winter College
is gonna stop given coaches these multi year contracts with
these huge biots like jimbo got and Brian Kelly. Now,
and they've got both of those got that from the
same guy.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Well, you know, there's two people that seem to be
two groups of people that seem to be missing in
this entire firestorm of chaos and what's going on at LSU. Okay,
Number one is the players. These things affect the players
and those kids. Look, they deserve some stability, They deserve
to know that the fan base supports them, which is
the same group which is the actual fan base I'm
(08:02):
not talking about the gods and the gals up in
the boxes who don't have to sit in the rain
and the cold, in the wind, in the heat in
the sun. I mean because you fill Tiger Stadium with nurses, welders, plumbers,
ac truck drivers, ordinary ordinary Louisianians, who, by the way,
have consistently had to deal with higher and higher ticket prices.
(08:25):
This is not its whole thing started, you know, Saturday
night when I got back from the game, Shared and
I were laying in bed and I'm just like, I
don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know what they're
gonna do. And she's like, oh, do you know they
reached the ticket prices for next year. I'm like, what
you gotta be kidding me, you know, And I was like, no,
we're not doing that. We're not doing that because it's
the average everyday person who just tries to go and
watch and enjoy themselves on the weekend, getting away from
(08:47):
all the politics. Look, sports is supposed to be one
of those events which we don't have to worry here.
You said, by a Democrat republic. You don't know who
they are you cheering for? You the same team, or
you cheering for an opposite team. You pull it for
your people.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
You having a good time, and you go home and
hopefully LSU wins and you're really real happy.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, that's right, Governor Landry, speaking for the people, man,
that's exactly what we think.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm glad to know that you got a you know,
you lighting a fire under them and getting them to
do the right thing here. I just hope they get
up off the butts and get busy.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Oh my god, gods, this and I'm telling you, I
will tell you this. I will tell you this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I have learned that the worst time, worst days, worst
weekends for the governor of Louisiana, irrespective of whether it's
me and Kenny you.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Is LSU's having Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Absolutely, Governor Landry.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I will have you know.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
We we pulled the listeners this week.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You have a ninety plus percent approval rating last time
I checked from our we did a poll on Twitter
this week from Walton Johnson listeners. I thought that was
I thought they were a little a little unfair, but
ninety percent isn't bad.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's our listeners. And then that statewide poll.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I got to tell you, we've we've had some negative
things to say about Monroe a time or two, but
you come out looking really good in Monroe in the
polls too.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well. Thank you, listen. I love your guys and love your.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Listeners because look, at the end of the day, y'all
speaking for the average every day American who's just out
there just trying to make it and then have a
little fun on the weekend and watching great football.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Amen to that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Just real quick before we let you go at Orgeron.
You think we ever hear from him again?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yeah, Hey, somebody told me the other day and said, hey, listen,
I'll come over there and just be an assistant coach
if you want to say.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
You know, the good news is and I can understand
each other.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, you might have to help out some of the
national guys though.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Governor Landry, the People's governor, thank you so much for
your time this morning.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Governor, take care. Yeah, well it was for the playoffs,
and be honest with you. In Wilson and.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Johnson Radio Network, the news out of the airport is
that some of the TSA agents they're picking up other
jobs now they they're worried about not getting paid. Can
you imagine the only reason you go to work every
day is for the paycheck. I mean, come on, people,
let's face it. The reason we come to work well
(11:12):
a for you and court order a listener, and yeah,
be court order, because otherwise, you know, we'd probably get
into you know, hijinks. I think that's the word they used.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
My probation obviously said.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
If I don't come here every day, I've got a
wash cop cars, and then I have to mop up
the local what is it the place where they keep
all the dead bodies at it. Yeah, and I can't
go in there. It smells bad. And my dog always
gets his nose in the garbage can.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
That's a stink that stays inside your nose after you
leave too. I've never been around for aldehyde and dead
bodies for much.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And the buzz you catch from it isn't even worth it. No,
it's really not.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
No, we come to work for you, the listener, and
for the good of America. But yeah, at least two
ESA Asians or not like that, so some of them
make going to work. So instead, what's doing for a fee?
I don't think this was free, but for a fee, yeah,
TSA agents will come to your door, and they will
feel you up there.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
At the house. Oh that's great, you.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Still get that, you know, you just don't have to
you know, you won't find them at the airport.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know. I feel like, if I'm at the airport
and I'm not being sexually assaulted by a federal agent,
did I really even fly? It doesn't feel right from
Houston to Baton Rouge, you know, did I even do that?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
By the way, already, seventeen emails have come in a
little easy. He seems to be the front runner for
the next coach at LSU right now, more than Emerald
Yeah yeah, huh and Uncle Si got here huh yeah.
I thought there'd be more for that, But I guess not.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know, aren't the Duck Dynasty guys really good at football?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Didn't they play football? When one of them did?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Or that one? You know the I didn't watch the
arc of the show whatever. I didn't watch the show
in years, but I used to really enjoy it. Back
It's been a while since I looked at it. But
we used to hang out with those guys, man, all right,
fun US refrigerators. According to a new report, US refrigerators
have grown from seven cubic feet in nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
That's not enough to.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Thirty two cubic feet in twenty twenty five. Wow, that's
a big fridge. Oh I'm sorry. Did I say refrigerators?
I meant people?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yes, yeah, my bad. Sorry about it goes hand in hand,
doesn't it a little awkward? H Halloween is tomorrow, and
I am looking forward to it. Guys, I'm here for it.
I don't have any plans or anything to do. I
don't really I don't have a lot of friends or
any but I'm you know, but I am looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Don't look past today. Tomorrow's not guaranteed, so let's look
forward to loving today. What do you say, Well, today's
a lyft day for me.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I'm gonna be Actually, I'm probably not supposed to talk
about add on the air anymore. Yeah, you know, I've
been told not to talk about my location anymore now
that we're all in danger all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, it's hard for me because I only go to
like three places. I go to the gym, I go
to the park, and then I come here. I didn't
nothing else going on. I went through that park yesterday.
I figured it was probably a little early for you.
But I saw, uh, I saw three different women in
that in that park angle area, you know where you
there are some very attractive people that jog around that park.
(14:17):
They were jogging.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
They were leaning against a tree, all three of them
separately leaning against the tree, checking their watch like maybe
they was expecting you soon.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
They stake out the park waiting for Kenny. Now, I
think that's very unlikely. No, that that that was suspicious. Uh,
they was just looking, you know, waiting on you to
come jogging by.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I've been jogging in that park for years. And this
is actually of all the stupid stories that we tell
on the air. This I'm not proud of this, but
this is a true story. I've talked to a woman
in that park one time in my life, and I
mean like flirted with her right and got a number
from a girl that oh you got the one single
time and immediately, I mean me, before I got home.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I regret. I will never do that again. That just
a terrible idea.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, but you will, you say you won't remember that
time you got off of internet dating, Yeah, and then
that other time you got back off internet dating because
you didn't stay off of it, and that fourth or
eighth time when you said no more internet dating for me?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And then who'd you meet yesterday on the internet?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Can you I didn't yesterday I met who did I?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Jesus? I met Jesus yesterday. I didn't meet anybody on
the internet yesterday. But to your point, I look, I
work weird hours, and I think a lot of our
listeners who are single could probably relate with this. We
get up early, we work, I'm not at bars on weeknights.
My free time is usually not spent at a time of
the day when singles are out mingling, right, And the
dating app is kind of a convenient way to meet people.
(15:47):
And the problem is, just like with anything else on
the internet, you never know what you're gonna get. You
never know one day you might fall in love, the
next day you might get stabbed. For me, it's more
include the same person obviously. Yeah, all right, it's mostly
been stabbings for me.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
But you know, you gotta go through a lot of
frogs until you find your prints.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Prince, what the hell are you talking about? Oh that's right,
you're gay?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Hey, speaking up? Enough about me and my disappointing love life.
What we're really focused on today is d e I
for owls. De I for owls is in the news today, and.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Kind of owls. There's a bunch of different kind of owl.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, thank you for asking, barred owl, spotted owl. If
you could stick around until right after this break, fog
Horn Leghorn is.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Going to explain it to us. Oh good, yeah, I
like him. I'm sorry, Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Stick around this this this, this, this, this, this is
fake
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Notes Wolton and Johnson Radio Network,
A good time right there. You know, I play this
for you, but I know you. I know you've been
kind of sad lately on Saturday nights.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Is this a parky ride up on't it?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
I mean we need it right now.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, buddy, there's a lot, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Of good things happening in America right now, but all
is not perfect in the Walton Johnson listening region.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We'd like it to be more perfect, or so we
jumping in when we can.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
All right, So, LSU, Ole, Miss Texas A and m
U two. Which of our listeners do you think? What
what team? Bulldogs? Don't forget Bold, don't forget. There's a
lot of SEC teams and great college football teams out
there that our listeners are fans of, but one team
we always come back to.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Go Tigers Man Godard. I know, I know Ed was great,
wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The problem is this guy Brian was not great, and
I think we gave him a little too much money.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, I mean, not me. I didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's not our money.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Nobody asked me.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But okay, So the athletic director of the LSU not
a popular guy right now, and the governor of Louisiana,
a man of the people, truly a populist as far
as populist go is.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Calling this dude out, Scott is that his name?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Actually, I'm Scott Woodward is a director.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
And then there's this another guy, Rolf's Bork Buyorke something
like that. I don't know who was involved in all
this kind of stuff too, but I'm sure the governor
could probably educate us on this.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
There's also talk at LSU of putting up a Charlie
Kirk statue, and a lot of hubbub still going on
about escaped monkeys from Tulane. All things I want to
hear from Governor Landry on right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We didn't pick up the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
We have Governor Landry on the line, Yes I have.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I've been waiting at you.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
The Governor's waiting, Governor Jeff Landry, Welcome to the Walton
and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Sarah, Good morning, guys, Good morning.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
You're right. We this week's been crazy. You missed a
couple of things.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You missed one the government, the federal government shut down,
so snap benefits fostat program is getting run out of money,
you know. And then and then this week we have
to deal with the city, and the autists said they
needed one hundred and thirty million dollars to make payroll.
Y'all guys should come down here and have some of
that chaotic fund that I'm having.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It looks like you go you up to ug in
in it or up there.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, I'm right up into the head the noose line.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
I'm just hoping nobody just puts their foot on my head.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Since since she brought it up, can we talk about
that New Orleans thing first? It's my understanding they only
put aside thirty seven thousand dollars for overtime pay, which
it sounds like that was a mistake they made on
purpose so they could do this later on. But am
I maybe I'm just a little too suspicious of people?
Speaker 6 (02:32):
What happened, Jeff, Well, that's the problem. We really don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
They just came to said, hey, listen, we just need
one hundred and thirty million dollars because we're not going
to be able to make payroll. And so we said, well,
you know, we got this thing in Louisiana call a
fiscal review committee made up of the Thurney General and
the Treasurer and the legitative auditor, just go before them,
and let's just open the books up and see exactly
what's wrong. And if you need the money, we'll figure
out a way to approve the bonds. And and maybe
(02:59):
you need what's called fiscal administrator for a little while
to kind of make sure that we're using the money
where you said you use the money, because you know,
sometimes you send the money down to New Orleans and
it doesn't exactly go where.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
It's supposed to be. Yeah, you know, it happens just
a couple of times anyhow, And so.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
So all of a sudden, miraculously, miraculously, yesterday they said, no.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
We are not going in front of fiscal we don't
need the money. Okay, well you don't.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Need I don't know. This is a state tuned deal, Kenny,
are just gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It does seem unfair to make people in Shreport and
Bojer and Alexandria and Lafayatt and Lake Charles bailout New Orleans.
I mean, what, New Orleans got a lot of money.
Why should somebody in Monroe have to pay for that?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
What the big the big thing is I think you
hit the narrow smack on the head. Is that we have.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
When I was Attorney General, remember so Liz is now.
When I was, I sat on the Fiscal Review Committee,
and that's how we treated every other municipality or political
subdivision of the state when they had problems. I guess
New Orleans is just always believed that the really not
quite part of the state of New Orleans, and then
she was just gonna treat them all the same.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I think that that's the best way to do.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Thoughts on incoming mayor Helena Moreno compared us, If you
could compare to LaToya Cantrell, we'd not love to know
your thoughts on her.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Are you optimistic?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
I am? I am optimistic.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I think that Helena comes in after watching you know,
the last what it was in eight years of debacle
that we've had it out out of the city, and
I'm hoping that she she's going to change the trajectory.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I love that, all right. Charlie Kirk's statue at LSU.
This happened after the loyal A turning point event. This
seems like a great idea to me. There are so
many young conservatives, young Republicans at LSU.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Why shouldn't they have a Charlie Kirk statue, Well.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I mean exactly, think about this.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Go around college campuses today in America and find me
a symbol, Okay, find me an icon of the First Amendment.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Right, it's all been.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
It was never put up, never banished or banished either one.
Because we have really trampled on the First Amendment at
our college campuses and the place where the First Amendment
means the most, where you want young people who are
interacting with each other to be able to agree, to disagree,
to understand, to talk about different ideas, and the only
way to do that is engaging that kind of dialogue.
(05:19):
And that is exactly what unfortunately killed Charlie Kirk. That
that's the saddest part.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
That is the saddest part. He was never vile, he
was never rude.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
He went right into the campuses, he engaged, He talked
to anybody.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
He took to anybody.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And you know, so we had a turning point event
two days right after his assassination. It was unbelieveare like
nine hundred students coming and that night we had one
with fifteen hundred. They tell me there's going to be
ten thousand at Ole.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Miss I guess this coming week. Of course, Jamie Vance
and Erica Kirk's going to be there that night.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, that was last night. Yeah, you're correct too, was
last night Hues massive. Yeah, well you spoke just recently
at the LSU turning point. That was a pretty good
crowd too, right.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Yeah, that's what I was saying. Yeah, we had over
fifteen hundred people. We put it inside, which limited amount
of people that we had. We had way more demand,
but you know, based upon security and those things, we
decided to have it inside.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It was one Charlie and I had talked about this
in July.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
He was really looking forward to coming to LSU.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
I mean, just so it's tough, still tough to tell you.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
All right, let's talk about Brian Kelly for a minute.
We've been working hard here during I know, sorry, I know,
force a habit. Yeah, I'm very angry, Billy ed. We've
come up with some suggestions to replace Brian Kelly. I
don't know if you've considered these, Governor. We're looking at Emerald.
He could be good, Lil Wayne if he's available. Man
that was mine, by the way, Duck dynasty. Maybe one
of the uncles c or one of those guys could
(06:55):
be good.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I think, what were you thinking?
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Well, look, here's the thing. I will take this list
I jib of the names down.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I'm gonna pass it on to the Board of Supervisors,
who I'm hoping today will announce a search committee for
the next LSU coach.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I'm not picking the next LSU coach.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I just want to make sure that the contract is
such that the state Louisiana, number one can afford it.
It has some metrics in it, and we're not gonna
be able to be rewarding failure.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, yeah, we've asked the question multiple times. Winter College
is gonna stop given coaches these multi year contracts with
these huge biots like jimbo got and Brian Kelly. Now,
and they've got both of those got that from the
same guy.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Well, you know, there's two people that seem to be
two groups of people that seem to be missing in
this entire firestorm of chaos and what's going on at LSU. Okay,
Number one is the players. These things affect the players
and those kids. Look, they deserve some stability, They deserve
to know that the fan base supports them, which is
the same group which is the actual fan base I'm
(08:02):
not talking about the gods and the gals up in
the boxes who don't have to sit in the rain
and the cold, in the wind, in the heat in
the sun. I mean because you fill Tiger Stadium with nurses, welders, plumbers,
ac truck drivers, ordinary ordinary Louisianians, who, by the way,
have consistently had to deal with higher and higher ticket prices.
(08:25):
This is not its whole thing started, you know, Saturday
night when I got back from the game, Shared and
I were laying in bed and I'm just like, I
don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know what they're
gonna do. And she's like, oh, do you know they
reached the ticket prices for next year. I'm like, what
you gotta be kidding me, you know, And I was like, no,
we're not doing that. We're not doing that because it's
the average everyday person who just tries to go and
watch and enjoy themselves on the weekend, getting away from
(08:47):
all the politics. Look, sports is supposed to be one
of those events which we don't have to worry here.
You said, by a Democrat republic. You don't know who
they are you cheering for? You the same team, or
you cheering for an opposite team. You pull it for
your people.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
You having a good time, and you go home and
hopefully LSU wins and you're really real happy.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, that's right, Governor Landry, speaking for the people, man,
that's exactly what we think.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm glad to know that you got a you know,
you lighting a fire under them and getting them to
do the right thing here. I just hope they get
up off the butts and get busy.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Oh my god, gods, this and I'm telling you, I
will tell you this. I will tell you this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I have learned that the worst time, worst days, worst
weekends for the governor of Louisiana, irrespective of whether it's
me and Kenny you.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Is LSU's having Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Absolutely, Governor Landry.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I will have you know.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
We we pulled the listeners this week.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You have a ninety plus percent approval rating last time
I checked from our we did a poll on Twitter
this week from Walton Johnson listeners. I thought that was
I thought they were a little a little unfair, but
ninety percent isn't bad.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's our listeners. And then that statewide poll.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I got to tell you, we've we've had some negative
things to say about Monroe a time or two, but
you come out looking really good in Monroe in the
polls too.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well. Thank you, listen. I love your guys and love your.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Listeners because look, at the end of the day, y'all
speaking for the average every day American who's just out
there just trying to make it and then have a
little fun on the weekend and watching great football.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Amen to that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Just real quick before we let you go at Orgeron.
You think we ever hear from him again?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yeah, Hey, somebody told me the other day and said, hey, listen,
I'll come over there and just be an assistant coach
if you want to say.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
You know, the good news is and I can understand
each other.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, you might have to help out some of the
national guys though.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Governor Landry, the People's governor, thank you so much for
your time this morning.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Governor, take care. Yeah, well it was for the playoffs,
and be honest with you. In Wilson and.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Johnson Radio Network, the news out of the airport is
that some of the TSA agents they're picking up other
jobs now they they're worried about not getting paid. Can
you imagine the only reason you go to work every
day is for the paycheck. I mean, come on, people,
let's face it. The reason we come to work well
(11:12):
a for you and court order a listener, and yeah,
be court order, because otherwise, you know, we'd probably get
into you know, hijinks. I think that's the word they used.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
My probation obviously said.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
If I don't come here every day, I've got a
wash cop cars, and then I have to mop up
the local what is it the place where they keep
all the dead bodies at it. Yeah, and I can't
go in there. It smells bad. And my dog always
gets his nose in the garbage can.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
That's a stink that stays inside your nose after you
leave too. I've never been around for aldehyde and dead
bodies for much.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And the buzz you catch from it isn't even worth it. No,
it's really not.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
No, we come to work for you, the listener, and
for the good of America. But yeah, at least two
ESA Asians or not like that, so some of them
make going to work. So instead, what's doing for a fee?
I don't think this was free, but for a fee, yeah,
TSA agents will come to your door, and they will
feel you up there.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
At the house. Oh that's great, you.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Still get that, you know, you just don't have to
you know, you won't find them at the airport.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know. I feel like, if I'm at the airport
and I'm not being sexually assaulted by a federal agent,
did I really even fly? It doesn't feel right from
Houston to Baton Rouge, you know, did I even do that?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
By the way, already, seventeen emails have come in a
little easy. He seems to be the front runner for
the next coach at LSU right now, more than Emerald
Yeah yeah, huh and Uncle Si got here huh yeah.
I thought there'd be more for that, But I guess not.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know, aren't the Duck Dynasty guys really good at football?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Didn't they play football? When one of them did?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Or that one? You know the I didn't watch the
arc of the show whatever. I didn't watch the show
in years, but I used to really enjoy it. Back
It's been a while since I looked at it. But
we used to hang out with those guys, man, all right,
fun US refrigerators. According to a new report, US refrigerators
have grown from seven cubic feet in nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
That's not enough to.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Thirty two cubic feet in twenty twenty five. Wow, that's
a big fridge. Oh I'm sorry. Did I say refrigerators?
I meant people?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yes, yeah, my bad. Sorry about it goes hand in hand,
doesn't it a little awkward? H Halloween is tomorrow, and
I am looking forward to it. Guys, I'm here for it.
I don't have any plans or anything to do. I
don't really I don't have a lot of friends or
any but I'm you know, but I am looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Don't look past today. Tomorrow's not guaranteed, so let's look
forward to loving today. What do you say, Well, today's
a lyft day for me.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I'm gonna be Actually, I'm probably not supposed to talk
about add on the air anymore. Yeah, you know, I've
been told not to talk about my location anymore now
that we're all in danger all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, it's hard for me because I only go to
like three places. I go to the gym, I go
to the park, and then I come here. I didn't
nothing else going on. I went through that park yesterday.
I figured it was probably a little early for you.
But I saw, uh, I saw three different women in
that in that park angle area, you know where you
there are some very attractive people that jog around that park.
(14:17):
They were jogging.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
They were leaning against a tree, all three of them
separately leaning against the tree, checking their watch like maybe
they was expecting you soon.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
They stake out the park waiting for Kenny. Now, I
think that's very unlikely. No, that that that was suspicious. Uh,
they was just looking, you know, waiting on you to
come jogging by.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I've been jogging in that park for years. And this
is actually of all the stupid stories that we tell
on the air. This I'm not proud of this, but
this is a true story. I've talked to a woman
in that park one time in my life, and I
mean like flirted with her right and got a number
from a girl that oh you got the one single
time and immediately, I mean me, before I got home.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I regret. I will never do that again. That just
a terrible idea.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, but you will, you say you won't remember that
time you got off of internet dating, Yeah, and then
that other time you got back off internet dating because
you didn't stay off of it, and that fourth or
eighth time when you said no more internet dating for me?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And then who'd you meet yesterday on the internet?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Can you I didn't yesterday I met who did I?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Jesus? I met Jesus yesterday. I didn't meet anybody on
the internet yesterday. But to your point, I look, I
work weird hours, and I think a lot of our
listeners who are single could probably relate with this. We
get up early, we work, I'm not at bars on weeknights.
My free time is usually not spent at a time of
the day when singles are out mingling, right, And the
dating app is kind of a convenient way to meet people.
(15:47):
And the problem is, just like with anything else on
the internet, you never know what you're gonna get. You
never know one day you might fall in love, the
next day you might get stabbed. For me, it's more
include the same person obviously. Yeah, all right, it's mostly
been stabbings for me.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
But you know, you gotta go through a lot of
frogs until you find your prints.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Prince, what the hell are you talking about? Oh that's right,
you're gay?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Hey, speaking up? Enough about me and my disappointing love life.
What we're really focused on today is d e I
for owls. De I for owls is in the news today, and.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Kind of owls. There's a bunch of different kind of owl.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, thank you for asking, barred owl, spotted owl. If
you could stick around until right after this break, fog
Horn Leghorn is.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Going to explain it to us. Oh good, yeah, I
like him. I'm sorry, Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Stick around this this this, this, this, this, this is
fake
