Speaker 2 (00:02):
We have lived in a city that has had crime
all over the place for as long as I could remember.
None of the local elected officials carred our mayor. The
last few administrations didn't care. The county judges since ever
since at Emmant left office, a county judge hasn't cared.
And suddenly we've got a mayor that does care. And

cop now, so I'm kind of excited about that too.
Speaker 1 (00:27):

or something, you know, if you keep pushing that mayor
like that. I was down with the mayor until I
found out he killed a vibe. I don't know what
to do.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, that's what some like far left progressive guy side
of the chronicle.
Speaker 3 (00:42):

of a very busy schedule, not just today but every day.

cool guy. I have away his own money. You know,

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh and no.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Longer with us. Percy Sledge, Ricardo Mantelbon, Joe DiMaggio, John F.
Kennedy Junior. And Andrew Carnegie, who grew up poor, started
working at the age of twelve, and that his peak.
He was worth over three hundred million dollars in nineteen
(03:28):
oh one. Hmmm, that's worth even more today. Yeah, yeah,

Yeah, today is National play Day with Dad, So invite

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So it's a national par fay day. I don't hate
a parfay. I just don't get that. It's also a
National Gaspacho Day, which reminds me of a joke. It's
gaspacho what it's gospacho, which is was just what I
don't know. Someone wrote it in the notes here and
said old guys would think that was funny. It's also
blase a day. Stay nonchalant, my friends. Oh can we
all right? And now today in history is proudly brought to.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You by that'sud Be law Tigers.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know they take up for a motorcycle riders when
they have accident. Law tigers call them even before you
call your insurance, call a wife or the girlfriend or
whatever first, but didn't call lall tigers. One eight hundred
law tigers. This is going to drive you nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
As an Italian with some family from the East Coast,
I would have loved to eat at Delmonico's New York
City steakhouse on this day in eighteen thirty five, where
you could get a soup, a steak, a cup of coffee,
and a half a slice of pie for twelve cents.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Half a slide, Well twelve cents, that's what it says.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
For twelve cents, you got soup, a steak, a coffee,
and a half a slice of pie twelve cents. Well,
you don't need a whole slice a pie. You just
had a steak, set of coffee.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You just filled up. Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Today, in nineteen twenty, Philadelphia holds America's first Thing Thanksgiving Parade.
I love Thanksgiving. It's such a good holiday. It's one
of the most underappreciated holidays. We have a lot of
people just think it's like pre Christmas. No Thanksgiving stands
on its own accolades.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Great thing about Thanksgiving is all the good eating you
do and nothing else except maybe football on Christmas. You know,
you got to deal with the kids. You gotta deal
with saying, you gotta deal with packages. You did I
get somebody something? Did I forget somebody? Did they get
me something and I didn't get them something. It's like
there's a lot of pressure. But at Thanksgiving. Let's hey,
that's pretty much it.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's a food football and be grateful for your life
kind of a holiday. I feel like that is a
reason to celebrate. All right, here's one of my favorites. Yeah,
I on this day in nineteen forties.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It was the beginning of World War two.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The Nazis were rounding up the Jews, people were working
on nuclear bombs, Pearl Harbor was getting attacked, and all
of a sudden, somebody decided we need a cartoon about
a woodpecker. Woody Woodpecker made his first appearance in a
cartoon called Knock Knock.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Who was there? Uh No, that was the name of
the cartoon, Billy.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But when you go knock knock, you say who's there?
And that interesting the woodpecker. It was the beginning of
World War two and we were making Woody Woodpecker. It's
that always reminds me of a one steak sauce. You
ever notice on the side of the bottle It was
a right in the middle of the Civil War, they
came up with a one sixty two. I believe it says, man,
history is so interesting, isn't it. It's not just what
(06:28):
happened it's what was happening at the same time as
other things that make it interesting.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right to me, that's the thing that they I think
they skipped sometimes in school, which would make it way
more interesting to a school kid. So what else is
going on while that was happening to juxtaposition it into
an interesting story instead of just some boring lesson.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Right exactly. I went and saw on Agatha Christie play
earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You've you've bragged about your your love of theater.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, Agatha Christie's murder mystery play The mouse Trap opened
on this day in eighteen fifty two. It is still
running today, and young theater types, young inner city liberals,
they love Agatha Christie. I really want to show them
some of the stuff she used to say in her books.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh boy, well they changed a lot of these books.
Now you go out her and get her in trouble.
Next thing, you know, they'll probably they'll cancel her ash. Well,
what they took away? What's her name? God bless America?
Whom I thinking of?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Kate? Kate, whom I think it of? Smith?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, Kate Smith. Well, they couldn't play Kate Smith anymore
because a long time ago she said something kind of racial.
She ain't eat nothing that that old white lady cooks.
She cooked real good and everything. Not Martha Stewart Paladeene. Yeah,
because she said something one time. So you can't eat that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now you just you.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Can't even warm up your soup. You gotta eat cold soup.
This this is America. We eat our soup.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
The craziest thing about Pauladine getting canceled is that the
thing that she supposedly said offensive, that was offensive. She
didn't say it in public. She didn't say it a lot.
They just claimed one time, a long time ago, someone
heard her use this word.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
You ought not use.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It was like, all right, But back then everybody was
kind of he was on that word. Weren't they today?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Not that that makes it okay? No, certainly not ninety today.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
In nineteen sixty three, President Kennedy's body was buried at
the Arlington National Cemetery.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, and that's still there. Have you ever noticed, have
you been on his son's.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Birthday, his brother's birthday, His brother's grave and his grave
are right next to each other. JFK's Grave's a big deal.
It's got flaw, Yeah, it's got flames. And when he
was president and then his brother's just got this little
lady bitty thing.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
But he wasn't president now today.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
In nineteen ninety two, Czechoslovakia votes to split into two countries.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, what are gonna call him?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Uh, Czech Republic, I believe in Slovakia And Kenny Webster
there that's catchy.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, that's what the other one's called.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Under your doctor, donut, your car dog a snassage.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You stopped her like a face getting tartape Walton and
Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Is this another one? In Elon Musk Companies the Georgia's satellites.
What are they that different cut of satellite? I think, Oh,
but it's hard to say for sure. Greetings kids, Welcome
back boy. Today just flew by. We I feel like
we just got here and now we're almost done. That's crazy,
all right. A couple of quick things. I know Billy
ed will want us to tell you about our new sponsor.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Today's show is sponsored by Cranberry Sauce in a can.
The easiest way to tell your dinner guests you barely
made an effort at least stirred up so they can't
see the impression of the bottom of the can.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yes, the lines in the in the cranberry. It's the
best part. Nobody's eating it anyway, So let's just look
at it all right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
How about this one. Here's another thing we've been saving.
You probably noticed online that there's a lot of Black
Friday savings going on. Savings a big deal. Yeah, I
think you're I think you're I think you're messing with me.
You know more about finance than anyone on the show.
And every year Black Friday rolls around and you pretend
(09:57):
to be offended by the word Black Friday.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You know I ain't offendo, man. I play to gain,
that's all. You know. You gotta hate to play or
not the game. Actually, he's right about that. You're supposed
to hate the game, not the player.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But in solidarity today, in solidarity with mister Roe's never
ending quest to troll whitey African American Friday sales. Okay, yeah,
you notice it's just crap that nobody It's never something
that you want it, it's never.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
The You've just been hoping all year that this goes
all sale because that's the only way I can afford it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, it's the stuff you wouldn't have bought anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They do the same thing on Prime Day Amazon Prime Day.
You click it and you're like, oh, it's a it's
a shakewait or something. Who the hell wanted that?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I love the commercials for Shakeway, Yes, oh my god,
with the ladies doing their hands like this, this, this,
and and then of course they shook while they shook it,
and you know the parts that shook.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And they have one that they do a special commercial
where they're catering it to elderly people. And that's the
weirdest one. To pleasure yourself too. I feel guilty every
single time I do it, and I you know, and
I probably will next time too.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
How do you like Billy Bob's wife on land Man
at some point is probably going to bring out a
shake weight.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh my god, I hope, oh one could only hope.
The big day for bargains and shopping is almost here.
Actually it's here if you look at these websites, they've
already got the play. I don't wait until a Friday,
much less the Friday after Thanksgiving. It's the month of
November is a Black Friday sale.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, so who's ready for African American Friday?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You're ready to shop for Black Friday? Are you ready
to shop on Black Friday? If you're like most Americans,
probably not, which is why the US Department of Public
Safety is offering a free Black Friday survival kit.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Each kid includes kevlar headgear, mace, and.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
A bludgeoning tool that tells others, sixty nine ninety nine
flats green at best spires all mine you, son of
a quarter now. And we'll also include a complimentary Thanksgiving
Day survival kit. Each kid includes kevlar headgear, mace, and
a bludgeoning tool that tells others that last turkey leg
is all mine, Son of the US Department of Public
Safety Emergency Kits. Because it's not about celebrating the holidays,
(12:01):
it's about surviving them.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I want that I missed the stories that would come
out after Thanksgiving about all the injuries and the fights
and the stampedes and the trampling and the doors knocked
in on these stores that were opening it midnight on Friday,
and there were tons of literally tons of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
People outside because they're big people.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Waiting to get in there and charge and stampede into
the store. And there were stories about people who were
outside that had never met each other, sparking up a
friendship to create alliances.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yep, and then backstabbing each other hours later. Yeah, and
kind of like going to comic book conventions. It has
a smell because there's a type of people that go
there who don't exercise.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They're not physically active.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
The whole rest of the year, but they're ready to
take on the world now. And you could smell the
toxins in their fold, like being released into the air
around your Like, what the hell is that smell? Is
that the Walmart food bar? No, that's just Betty Diya
Betty over here. It doesn't get out much. And she
really wants a flat screen TV for forty bucks back.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
In her early days when she was a much younger
gal and a little heavier too.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Pray lean to get in on some of them deals.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
But like you said, you have to form an alliance
with somebody because you're going for the flat screen TVs.
But you also the kids said, you know, I need
that laptop or that video game or whatever. Well, you
can't be all places at all times, So what you
do is you set up a lot of alliance with
some of the other people. There's like all right, I'm
going for the flat screen TV. I'm gonna set one
aside for you and me. You got to go to
(13:39):
the video game part and get what the kids want
for that, and then you got to go over to
the computer section. You gotta get that laptop. See, And
then everybody goes and gets and helps each other. But
sooner later one of them is gonna drop the ball.
I thought you saved me a TV. Oh well, I tried,
but somebody took yours. The only one I was able
to save is mine. And then they go to wailing
(13:59):
on each other, usually with a flat screen TV.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Looking back on it, do you think any of those
people are like ashamed of the fact that they once
got arrested trying to grab a Nintendo Weedah at all.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I think they're quite proud of the efforts that they made.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm sorry you once spent a month in jail because
you punched a guy for a deal on a Nintendo Wii.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Who would even want that? Well, remember things were different
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Things are different then. Yeah, you remember someone once died
in a radio contest.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Trying to get a Wii. I know, hold your Wii for.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
We They called a little good news before we leave. Everybody,
I love good news. A fifteen year old kid near
a Buffalo named Anthony Killinger did CPR saved his stepdad's life.
He took a class at school and he knew how
to do it. He kept at it for eight minutes
until paramedics arrived. Here's Anthony with his mom and his
stepdad telling the story.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
We're in health class.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
There's a unit and we were doing next thing you know,
I woke up.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I was in the emergency room at Buffalo General Hospital.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I looked at the bottom of the stairs and his
head was laying right there on the ground and his
feet we're up on the third stair.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And then he saved his stepdad's life. Isn't that an
awesome story? It is great, John, you got anything.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Don't forget boys and girls too, eat it every day.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Hey again, you've reached the end of the Walton and
Johnson podcast. Good for you. That means you listened all
the way to the end. Does it mean we're going
away now never to be heard again?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
No, no, no, there will be a new show tomorrow.
Oh thank goodness, unless it's the weekend or we're off work.
But as always, you could go to waltonand Johnson dot
com and you could find all kinds of cool stuff there.
Our news blog links to our social media accounts. Believe
it or not, our personal lives are very boring. If
you comment on our social media pages, we might reply, yeah.

we do have a lovely store and you could buy
things there. Walton Johnson dot com. What's not to love
Perky. It just feels good to know. Holiday.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We have lived in a city that has had crime
all over the place for as long as I could remember.

last few administrations didn't care. The county judges since ever
since at Emmant left office, a county judge hasn't cared.

reason to celebrate. All right, here's one of my favorites. Yeah,
I on this day in nineteen forties.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It was the beginning of World War two.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The Nazis were rounding up the Jews, people were working
on nuclear bombs, Pearl Harbor was getting attacked, and all
of a sudden, somebody decided we need a cartoon about
a woodpecker. Woody Woodpecker made his first appearance in a
cartoon called Knock Knock.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Who was there? Uh No, that was the name of
the cartoon, Billy.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But when you go knock knock, you say who's there?
And that interesting the woodpecker. It was the beginning of
World War two and we were making Woody Woodpecker. It's
that always reminds me of a one steak sauce. You
ever notice on the side of the bottle It was
a right in the middle of the Civil War, they
came up with a one sixty two. I believe it says, man,
history is so interesting, isn't it. It's not just what
(06:28):
happened it's what was happening at the same time as
other things that make it interesting.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right to me, that's the thing that they I think
they skipped sometimes in school, which would make it way
more interesting to a school kid. So what else is
going on while that was happening to juxtaposition it into
an interesting story instead of just some boring lesson.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Right exactly. I went and saw on Agatha Christie play
earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You've you've bragged about your your love of theater.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, Agatha Christie's murder mystery play The mouse Trap opened
on this day in eighteen fifty two. It is still
running today, and young theater types, young inner city liberals,
they love Agatha Christie. I really want to show them
some of the stuff she used to say in her books.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh boy, well they changed a lot of these books.
Now you go out her and get her in trouble.
Next thing, you know, they'll probably they'll cancel her ash. Well,
what they took away? What's her name? God bless America?
Whom I thinking of?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Kate? Kate, whom I think it of? Smith?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, Kate Smith. Well, they couldn't play Kate Smith anymore
because a long time ago she said something kind of racial.
She ain't eat nothing that that old white lady cooks.
She cooked real good and everything. Not Martha Stewart Paladeene. Yeah,
because she said something one time. So you can't eat that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now you just you.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Can't even warm up your soup. You gotta eat cold soup.
This this is America. We eat our soup.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
The craziest thing about Pauladine getting canceled is that the
thing that she supposedly said offensive, that was offensive. She
didn't say it in public. She didn't say it a lot.
They just claimed one time, a long time ago, someone
heard her use this word.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
You ought not use.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It was like, all right, But back then everybody was
kind of he was on that word. Weren't they today?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Not that that makes it okay? No, certainly not ninety today.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
In nineteen sixty three, President Kennedy's body was buried at
the Arlington National Cemetery.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, and that's still there. Have you ever noticed, have
you been on his son's.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Birthday, his brother's birthday, His brother's grave and his grave
are right next to each other. JFK's Grave's a big deal.
It's got flaw, Yeah, it's got flames. And when he
was president and then his brother's just got this little
lady bitty thing.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
But he wasn't president now today.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
In nineteen ninety two, Czechoslovakia votes to split into two countries.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Okay, what are gonna call him?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Uh, Czech Republic, I believe in Slovakia And Kenny Webster
there that's catchy.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, that's what the other one's called.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Under your doctor, donut, your car dog a snassage.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You stopped her like a face getting tartape Walton and
Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Is this another one? In Elon Musk Companies the Georgia's satellites.
What are they that different cut of satellite? I think, Oh,
but it's hard to say for sure. Greetings kids, Welcome
back boy. Today just flew by. We I feel like
we just got here and now we're almost done. That's crazy,
all right. A couple of quick things. I know Billy
ed will want us to tell you about our new sponsor.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Today's show is sponsored by Cranberry Sauce in a can.
The easiest way to tell your dinner guests you barely
made an effort at least stirred up so they can't
see the impression of the bottom of the can.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yes, the lines in the in the cranberry. It's the
best part. Nobody's eating it anyway, So let's just look
at it all right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
How about this one. Here's another thing we've been saving.
You probably noticed online that there's a lot of Black
Friday savings going on. Savings a big deal. Yeah, I
think you're I think you're I think you're messing with me.
You know more about finance than anyone on the show.
And every year Black Friday rolls around and you pretend
(09:57):
to be offended by the word Black Friday.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You know I ain't offendo, man. I play to gain,
that's all. You know. You gotta hate to play or
not the game. Actually, he's right about that. You're supposed
to hate the game, not the player.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But in solidarity today, in solidarity with mister Roe's never
ending quest to troll whitey African American Friday sales. Okay, yeah,
you notice it's just crap that nobody It's never something
that you want it, it's never.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
The You've just been hoping all year that this goes
all sale because that's the only way I can afford it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, it's the stuff you wouldn't have bought anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They do the same thing on Prime Day Amazon Prime Day.
You click it and you're like, oh, it's a it's
a shakewait or something. Who the hell wanted that?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I love the commercials for Shakeway, Yes, oh my god,
with the ladies doing their hands like this, this, this,
and and then of course they shook while they shook it,
and you know the parts that shook.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And they have one that they do a special commercial
where they're catering it to elderly people. And that's the
weirdest one. To pleasure yourself too. I feel guilty every
single time I do it, and I you know, and
I probably will next time too.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
How do you like Billy Bob's wife on land Man
at some point is probably going to bring out a
shake weight.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh my god, I hope, oh one could only hope.
The big day for bargains and shopping is almost here.
Actually it's here if you look at these websites, they've
already got the play. I don't wait until a Friday,
much less the Friday after Thanksgiving. It's the month of
November is a Black Friday sale.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, so who's ready for African American Friday?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You're ready to shop for Black Friday? Are you ready
to shop on Black Friday? If you're like most Americans,
probably not, which is why the US Department of Public
Safety is offering a free Black Friday survival kit.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Each kid includes kevlar headgear, mace, and.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
A bludgeoning tool that tells others, sixty nine ninety nine
flats green at best spires all mine you, son of
a quarter now. And we'll also include a complimentary Thanksgiving
Day survival kit. Each kid includes kevlar headgear, mace, and
a bludgeoning tool that tells others that last turkey leg
is all mine, Son of the US Department of Public
Safety Emergency Kits. Because it's not about celebrating the holidays,
(12:01):
it's about surviving them.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I want that I missed the stories that would come
out after Thanksgiving about all the injuries and the fights
and the stampedes and the trampling and the doors knocked
in on these stores that were opening it midnight on Friday,
and there were tons of literally tons of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
People outside because they're big people.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Waiting to get in there and charge and stampede into
the store. And there were stories about people who were
outside that had never met each other, sparking up a
friendship to create alliances.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yep, and then backstabbing each other hours later. Yeah, and
kind of like going to comic book conventions. It has
a smell because there's a type of people that go
there who don't exercise.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They're not physically active.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
The whole rest of the year, but they're ready to
take on the world now. And you could smell the
toxins in their fold, like being released into the air
around your Like, what the hell is that smell? Is
that the Walmart food bar? No, that's just Betty Diya
Betty over here. It doesn't get out much. And she
really wants a flat screen TV for forty bucks back.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
In her early days when she was a much younger
gal and a little heavier too.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Pray lean to get in on some of them deals.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
But like you said, you have to form an alliance
with somebody because you're going for the flat screen TVs.
But you also the kids said, you know, I need
that laptop or that video game or whatever. Well, you
can't be all places at all times, So what you
do is you set up a lot of alliance with
some of the other people. There's like all right, I'm
going for the flat screen TV. I'm gonna set one
aside for you and me. You got to go to
(13:39):
the video game part and get what the kids want
for that, and then you got to go over to
the computer section. You gotta get that laptop. See, And
then everybody goes and gets and helps each other. But
sooner later one of them is gonna drop the ball.
I thought you saved me a TV. Oh well, I tried,
but somebody took yours. The only one I was able
to save is mine. And then they go to wailing
(13:59):
on each other, usually with a flat screen TV.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Looking back on it, do you think any of those
people are like ashamed of the fact that they once
got arrested trying to grab a Nintendo Weedah at all.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I think they're quite proud of the efforts that they made.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm sorry you once spent a month in jail because
you punched a guy for a deal on a Nintendo Wii.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Who would even want that? Well, remember things were different
back in the day.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Things are different then. Yeah, you remember someone once died
in a radio contest.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Trying to get a Wii. I know, hold your Wii for.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
We They called a little good news before we leave. Everybody,
I love good news. A fifteen year old kid near
a Buffalo named Anthony Killinger did CPR saved his stepdad's life.
He took a class at school and he knew how
to do it. He kept at it for eight minutes
until paramedics arrived. Here's Anthony with his mom and his
stepdad telling the story.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
We're in health class.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
There's a unit and we were doing next thing you know,
I woke up.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I was in the emergency room at Buffalo General Hospital.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I looked at the bottom of the stairs and his
head was laying right there on the ground and his
feet we're up on the third stair.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And then he saved his stepdad's life. Isn't that an
awesome story? It is great, John, you got anything.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Don't forget boys and girls too, eat it every day.
