How To Avoid Hiring Insane People - FRI 7.1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Agree with the feud with Iran or not, whether you

(00:03):
think it was a success or not. Some of the
things people are saying are downright disrespectful to the military.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh God, yes, well that would be the media, right yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
And Donald Trump made a great point yesterday when he
was talking about that very target.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
At Missouri where, by the way, our beautiful planes landed,
our beat two's they landed after thirty six hours of flying.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Great going, Pete, and.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
They hit the target, and they hit the target, and
the target has now been proven to be obliterated. Just
as we said, we had little fake news from CNN,
Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
Cing Well, that's who they are. What would they do
if they didn't do fake news?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I love when he points right at the journalists in
the right in front of you.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Here's the liar.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Exit did the same thing, all of them, all of you.
I'm talking about all of you right here in front
of me, and then just call them out.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
As we move from the Iranian dispute, which seems to
be simmering down apparently Israel's return to dealing with God,
a lot of attention here in the United States is
now focused on the BBB, who should that'd be your
big beautiful bill.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Oh that we aren't. They supposed finish that before July fourth.
We hope that if they don't, then do they just
stop that's the time limit it didn't pass, or do
they not get to go on their holiday weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, they can't stop if they don't figure out how
to handle this budget bill or whatever it is that
you want to describe it as being. This is going
to be the biggest tax hike in history. Here's your president.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
We're going to stop the largest tax hike, and we're
going to do that in history. This would be if
the bill doesn't pass, there'll be a sixty eight percent
tax increase. Think of that, sixty eight percent, which would
be the largest in history by about forty points. And
we'll make the Trump tax cuts permanent, expand the child
tax credit, and we will deliver no tax on tips,

(01:52):
no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security
for a great senior.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I mean it's true. Back in Trump one point zero,
he passed these tax cuts, but they weren't permanent. They're
going to expire soon. One has to wonder what would
have happened if Trump's two presidential terms were not if
they were consecutive.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
If he hadn't interrupted it.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, what would the world have been like if he
was re elected in twenty twenty and then now these
tax cuts were about to expire and he wasn't in
the White House.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Maybe things worked out for the best. Who knows?

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Yeah exactly is you still don't like being robbed of
your vote back in the day, but you know, things
worked out.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
But now there's this massive investigation into what happened in
the twenty twenty election, and despite everything the liberal news
media told you, it does look an awful lot like
there was some collusion happening with a foreign government.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
They can't find collusion if it's against Trump, but they
can find Trump collusion. Ever, which away the turn Isn't
that something because they just make it up?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Of course, it pisses me off. Now. Trump was talking
about some of the things that are in the bill.
One of them is no tax on tips, no tax
on overtime, no tax on Social Security. But no tax
on tips is really interesting because you have a lot
of people in this country right now working as say,
food delivery drivers, right and Donald Trump actually used a

(03:15):
door dash driver as an example yesterday of why we
need this bill to pass.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Among the CAPITALSS citizens who will benefit from these tax
cuts is Malachi Krzeski, a devoted mom and door dash
driver from Rippin' Wisconsin who uses her tip income to
support your son. To think of that, no tax on tips,
and it was a very big problem. I was at

(03:40):
a dinner in my beautiful building in Las Vegas, and
unrelated to this, and I said, what's going on? I
will never say good looking waitress, because looks don't matter anymore,
you know, in a modern society.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
She happened to be beautiful, but I won't say that.
I won't mention that.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
But nevertheless, a waitress came over and I said, how
are you doing? She said, not good, sir. Why the
government is killing me on tips? And she looked at me.
She said, sir, there should be no tax on tips.
I said, sit again, there should be no tax on tips.
I said, that's the coolest thing I've ever heard. I

(04:20):
walked outside. The press was there, as always waiting for
something bad to happen, hundreds of them. That's what they
Needdies and gentlemen, please announce tonight there will be no
tax on tips. And a legend was made We won
Nevada by so much. Republicans don't win Nevada. We won Nevada.
So I want to thank that young beautiful waitress.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Thank you very much for that waitress. Was Kamala Harris, right,
because she's the one that came over that idea way
before troll, you know, I mean it's actually about three
days after that was.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
The thing that happened. Yeah, made that point over and
we do hope this bill passes now. To be fair,
I understand there's some maga people that are mad at
Ram Paul right now. I'm not one of them. I
like that there's a guy in the Senate that's trying
to get the bill to be a little more fiscally conservative.
You know, I remember during Trump one point zero, a
lot of people were mad at the Freedom caucase because

(05:09):
they weren't supportive enough of Trump. Isn't it nice that
there's at least a handful of people in the Republican
Party that are still trying to move policies to the right.
I get it. Trump is the you know, he's the
center of the gravitational pull. He's not the fact that
these guys disagree with him actually kind of proves he's
not as far to the right as so many in
the liberal media would tell you.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Aha, so we got that.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah's actually Trump's actually pretty close to the middle. I
know that's not what you've been told over and over again,
but the proof is right there on the policy pages
in front of your face. We are cheering on Donald
Trump right now and hoping this bill passes because this
is capitalism, this is freedom, This is what America is
all about. Tax cuts, you know, the policies that would

(05:53):
actually stimulate the economy. Imagine that we're suddenly dealing with
the normalization of socialistm them again. You see it in
the mayoral race in New York City. But you also
see it with AOC doing an interview yesterday. Lord, some
communist news outlet called Influencers. Listen to her try to
define capitalism. This is hilarious. You self identify as a

(06:16):
democratic socialist and have called capitalism irredeemable, I believe, But
what does that really mean?

Speaker 6 (06:22):
When we toss up these big words capitalism, socialism, they get,
you know, sensationalized, and people translate them into meaning things
that perhaps they don't mean. So to me, capitalism at
his core, what we're talking about when we talk about
that is the absolute pursuit of profit at all human, environmental,

(06:45):
and social cost. That is what we're really discussing. And
what we're also discussing is the ability for a very
small group of actual capitalists, and that is people who
have so much money that their money makes money and
they don't have to work.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
She's talking about cronyism. That's not what capitalism is. Her stupid,
dumb explanation of what capitalism is kind of reminds me
of the I don't know if you remember this famous
SoundBite where she tries to describe the controversy in Israel
and Palestine.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
But of course the dynamic there in terms of geopolitics
and the war at least, is very different than people
expressing their First Amendment right to protest.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Well.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Yes, but I also think that what people are starting
to see, at least in the occupation of Palestine is
just an increasing crisis of humanitarian condition, and that, to
me is just where I tend to come from on
this issue.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
You use the term the occupation of Palestine. What did
you mean by that?

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (07:55):
I think what I meant is like the settlements that
are increased saying in some of these areas, And I
think what I meant was where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty
and access to their housing and home.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
She gives up, right, I.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
Think you can expand on that.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Yeah, I mean I think i'd also just I am
not the expertagio politics flud.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Really not an expert. You say, isn't that great?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
I almost standing by my comment first day she got elected,
that little idiot, AO say, And she still is just
actually a big idiot, because she's grown a lot since
she got in there.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, her butt too, She got got a lot bigger,
a lot of stuff, growed, a lot of churros.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
H Huh.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Do you know why I put you over?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Because I was that stop signed for too long?

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah? What's that?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
What that book? What was you just sitting there?

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I was just waiting for it to turn green. I
feel there's better than running through it where you hit it.
I'm at home, okay. Where you live with my parents?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (08:58):
And where do your parents live? They live with me?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Where do you all live? We all live together? Okay?
So where's your house? That's next to my neighbor's house.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Hey, where's your neighbor's house.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Oh, you wouldn't believe me if I telogy, try me
next to my house, step up the car plee moving
to jail.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yep, this is the Walton and Johnson show.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Never wonder when you're hiring someone how you figure out
if they're an insane person.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
You mean before you hire them during the interview process. Right,
there's certain skill sets and tests that you can give
people that might some people are better at covering it
up than others, though obviously, I mean, we have no
idea about Kenny, you know, for for several months.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I don't think I don't think that for a radio person,
I'm that unusual.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, okay, if you qualify it that way, if.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
You met if you met most radio people or podcasters
outside of the realm in a normal place, we would
seem very peculiar. Yeah, but if you meet radio people
with other radio people tend to blend in together. Oh yeah,
here at this in this building. We live in one
of the biggest our flagships in one of the biggest
radio markets in America. So there's other radio stations around here. Sure,

(10:11):
other big radio shows, big hosts. We know them. And
when we all get together it's a little bit like
watching that TV show Love on the Spectrum.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Oh lord, Oh dear lord, I've heard about that. That
just seems wrong on every level.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Bro. I got into it this week. I started watching that.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Show Spectrum London places that they stream like Hulu.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's a good question. I found it. I think I
found it on Netflix. It's a dating show about autistic people.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's the spectrum part. That's the autistic spectrum.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
And I can't figure out if it's helpful to the
autistic community or exploitative.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
You know about mentally challenged people, No.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
These are emotional. I think emotionally challenged?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
How would you describe a spectrum? You know, some have
stronger tendencies than others.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
These aren't people down syndrome. In fact, most of them
are hyper intelligent. You I cat and toothpicks and stuff.
Is that one of them? The more I watched the show,
I start to get well, yes, he's right. That is
what it is, isn't it, britt rain Man, He's not
wrong about that. The more I watched the show, the
more I start to wonder. Am I one of these?
Am I I'm awkward in fidgety and am I did.

(11:22):
I just never get diagnosed to one of them.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Nobody wanted to tell you.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
But you know, when you first came around looking for
a job, I remember John saying, I think there's something
kind of mentally wrong with him.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Here's perfect, that's it.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
You fit right in.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
That's how. Yeah, John was the one who scouted me.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Rest in peace, my man. I miss him.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
So what we're gonna do about all this?

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, what about what? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
What's over? Talk about just now?

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh? I don't know. It's a fun show to watch.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Well, we're talking about something before the spectrum thing came up.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
But oh yeah, well, hiring insane.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
People, that's right. How do you know if they're insane?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
There was a news story we coveraged earlier this week.
We're kind of doing a you know, we're just looking
back at all the news we covered this week and
days ago. I think we covered this North Carolina woman.
She's suing her former employee because he used a Chucky
doll to prank her and it gave her PTSD.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Chucky that little doll that came to life with a
giant butcher knife and started killing people. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
that Chucky was He's a mean little son of a gun,
wasn't he.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I didn't see the rest of him.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
I know they made more, but after the first Chucky said,
I'm not looking at that anymore. I no, that could happen,
you know, and nobody needs that.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Apparently she told her manager she had a fear of dolls.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Probably came up in conversation. I know people that have
a huge fear of clowns, So you know, you know,
and those dolls that you see like in horror movies
in the attic.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Oh yeah, I kind of don't like that either.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Or did you ever stop on a road trip in
an old antique store and they, yes, they have the
vintage dolls.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
They are scary and I'm sure they're possessed.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Did those dolls seem scary back then? Or do we
just think that because we've been conditioned by pop culture?
Hopefully it's a pop culture, sure, one hundred years of guys.
When you look at an old doll from the early
twentieth century, really creepy looking.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
They got like some if they're like porcelain, you know,
their faces are cracking and peeling off a little bit,
and they just look like they're the evil is just
working its way out of them.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's exactly how I would describe it. But if you
saw the doll back then and you didn't know, you
never saw Netflix horror films or you know, American Psycho.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Or would you be different.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
I don't know either. Yeah, you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Ky jokey chuke. What they do to her at the bank?
Did they put the doll? Was the doll a customer?

Speaker 1 (13:44):
They put the bank on her, the doll on her desk,
and it was a chucky doll, and say that They
said it had exacerbated her anxiety disorder. She already had PTSD.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
She had a fear of all dolls, and a doll
at all, and the chucky one probably was, you know,
one of the worst if she knew who he was,
because he scary.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
The chucky doll. Famously, the doll that they used, I
guess it had a It sounds in the report like
it spoke.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Now they turned its head like Billy bass. Yeah, you
mean when that fish comes off the walls start singing,
that's fun man.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, well this doll said the words, the doll that
kills people. But to your point, one hundred years from Now,
would someone find a Billy Bass.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Make it start working again and it starts singing to them.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Or be terrified by it?

Speaker 6 (14:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Hell yeah, they're gonna run in the future. Will that
be scary the way old fashioned dolls look scary to us?
I hope, so that'd be good. But Billy Bass is
hilarious to me? Well, yeah, I like I always thought
Billy Bass seemed like a cool guy. He'd come out
and sing take me to the River because he likes to,
and then he'd tell dad jokes.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Nobody ever got that styre away. Dude.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
I thought you were leading us into some sort of
a skill of finding out if a person's insane.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Before you hire them.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well, that's what I'm wondering, as I don't know the
answer that they hired this person and who's insane here?
Is it the manager? Is it the woman? I don't know.
But the woman claims she was triggered by the doll.
It terrified her. But then on the other hand, the
manager used the doll to scare her, right, which is
a weird thing to do in an office.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Pretty wrong.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yeah, even if it wasn't a bank, I mean, any
business like that.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, don't do it.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
And then similarly, you know you're scared of dolls. I mean,
can you just be normal?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Have I grow up? Get over it? That kind of thing,
But they don't.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, something about corporate America brings out the worst in people,
doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (15:31):
I guess most people are concerned about the dolls or
the war, or the you know, the election, or whatever
else they got on their mind going on. But to me,
the Supreme Court today has one of the biggest jobs
ahead of them, and I just hope they do the
right thing. Scottis what's going on Supreme Court to deliver

(15:52):
a decision and today in a case that led porn
Hub to pull out of Texas.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
In Texas, and yes, I did say pull out.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
This will either allow or continue to ban access to
online porn in Texas because what a couple of years
ago is over a year ago.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
I don't know anything about this online porn business. But
people tell me stuff. And they said that the Texans
have been blocked from getting online porn for over a year.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Have they? I had no idea who knew who knew that?

Speaker 5 (16:31):
And you know, some some politician up there somewhere says
you have to put the ID thing. You got to
verify your your age, and a lot of these porn
sites said, no, that's that's not legal. It's against the
you know, somebody cares about the Constitution suddenly again.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I'm from the twentieth century. I can remember walking into
a magazine store as a child and not being able
to purchase a copy of Penthouse because it was for adults.
Is that? And it never occurred to me that that
was somehow violating my First Amendment rights or something that
was like, no, that's just basically it's like the don't
say gay bill in Florida. Well, first of all, there

(17:10):
is no don't say gay bill in Florida. No, all,
there is is a law that says you can't talk
about sex with prepubescent kids if you're a public school teacher.
Doesn't say anything about being gay. If you actually describe
what the law does, it's not controversial. So they have
to lie about it. I don't have an issue with
this law at all. The requirement that for porn sites
in these red states Texas isn't the only one to

(17:31):
be able to exist. They have to require the users
to prove their age. But it's pointless. I don't have
a problem with them doing it. But this is the Internet.
We're talking about.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Genising your age on an Internet site means just type
in the right numbers.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Or yeah, or there's different ways to go about it.
But look, it's the Internet. There's an infinite number of
websites out there that aren't even hosted in the United States.
Russian porn sites, Japanese porn sites. You can go into
the subgroups on Reddit and Twitter and all these other
There's too many different places on the Internet for things
to exist.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
If you do know a lot about internet porn, can
you must talk to a lot of people that are
into porn.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
I am a guy, let's know, let's be real for
a minute, people, right, Two things real quick. Number one,
it's not beneath me to look at it. I'm a
fully grown adult. Not that it's not like my obsession
or anything. But I've certainly seen it.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm not addicted. You're sure you're not addicted.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm not going to pretend I haven't seen it. But also,
I'm a guy on the Internet that scours for news
stories all the time, and I could tell you with
vivid detail how easy it is to accidentally find porn,
especially on a news website like Twitter. Twitter allows people
to have adult content. It's there, it exists. In order
to hide it on Twitter, what kind of length would

(18:45):
they It would take a lot to make all of
that disappear. We're talking about terabytes upon terabytes of adult
content just buried in the website that's been there for
years that people forgot about. How are you going to
go get rid of that?

Speaker 5 (19:00):
So these porn sites that aren't available now if you're
online on the internet in textures, they're not saying that
they can't be online. They're just saying, you have to
do the age verification thing, correct, And so instead of
doing the age verification thing, they just said, how about we.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Just don't go online there?

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Because they're trying to make a stand, it's a constitutional argument,
not a tech it's not a tech thing. They know
how to prove your age, they don't want to. They
don't want you to have to.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
So the case is that Pornhub is suing Texas because
they want to be able to show adult content.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
And the Supreme Court has already heard all the arguments.
They do all this at the first of the year,
and then they go back and they review, they write
their ideas, and then they come up with their opinions,
and so today, after six months of having it in
their lap, so to speak, they should give us a ruling.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I have to assume that if it's not unconstitutional for
a magazine stamp and to require you to show an
ID to purchase something, or a liquor store to require
you to show an ID to purchase something, then it
wouldn't be unconstitutional to have a law that says a
website would have to adhere to the same standards.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
And if we can speak to that, then we can
figure out how to get IDs for black people. Good thinking,
it's just in A recent study has proven that one
percent of me doesn't give a fine Bolton and Johnson
