Speaker 1 (00:02):
Tell me if this makes any sense to you. Two
conundrums we have today involving our favorite foods. First of all,
it's National brisket Day and it's National hamburger Day.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
No, no, no, no, they need to be separated. Yeah,
that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
You can't have you can't celebrate two beef foods on
the same day.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's insanity. And now listen to this.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
There's a report today that claims chicken has dethroned beef
as America's favorite type.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Of burger burger.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
No, see that settles it. We deserve to lose to Russia.
I don't think this is not good.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Right now, when it's Trump versus Putin and everything's on
the line, we all got to be thinking the same.
And somebody out there is thinking crazy. A chicken sandwich,
while delicious, is certainly not a hamburger. It's a chicken sandwich.
That's insanity, that's all it is. I'm angry, I'm mad,
I'm fat up. Well, how about a sip of this

(01:00):
delicious coffee in a pursuit of happiness, mug.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I love that?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, well that's available at I love WJ dot com.
Wells not the coffee. No, the mug.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, the mug, it comes empty. You have to fill
it yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
But you could put anything you want in it, you know, tea.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
We've been doing about a two month long experiment here
and the results are in.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I think the show's better with the pursuit of happiness. Bugs.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
We used to drink this stuff out of white styrofoam cups.
Now we have black enamel cups. I love that very good. Yeah,
the white styrofoam wasn't that great. It wasn't even eco friendly.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
But when you go to I LOVEWJ dot com, you
can get your Gulf of America scented candles your doge
father hats.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Do they smell like the golf?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
No, they smell like French vanilla or there's different flavors.
It's a pretty good smelling candle, to be honest. Really
covers up.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
The smell of marijuana in your house, you know, assuming
that's what you need.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Anyway, we're kids, Welcome to another day of you being alive.
As a lot of you may have heard, yesterday, we
paused the tariffs on Europe, on the EU, and just
in time for Donald Trump to be furious with Vladimir Putin,
and I'm you know, if you get mad at a
Russian guy, the Russians even notice, because they're just mad

(02:20):
all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
They do seem to be just born angry. I know
the problem with Russian women, though this is so beautiful.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
The problem with a lot of women, apparently, I know
I've noticed that too. Why can't y'all just act better?
And of course just won't. The big beautiful bill continues
to be a thing. Senator Rick Scott's and no, Ran
Paul's and no, they're gonna have to fix this thing
if they wanted to pass in the Senate.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
It does suck. For the record, you just don't like
the name. I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Even if everything was great about it, you still don't
like it.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Okay, I'll be objective.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
They say, this is the biggest budget cut bill in
the history of budget cut bills, and it's still something
like five to ten trillion dollars of debt to our budget.
I mean, that's not good. I heard something earlier I
thought was insane. I thought this was fake, but apparently
it's a real thing. Here's Elon Musk explaining. Elon Musk

(03:14):
did a lot of great work with doche and now
that we're going to spend all this money in the
big beautiful bill, you wonder what was the point of dough. Yeah.
But similarly, there's a group of people out there that
don't understand what inflation is. They don't get what causes inflation.
They don't know where it comes from. Inflation and there's
only one thing that causes inflation. Happens when the government

(03:35):
prints out too much money with no backing. And according
to Elon Musk, it's not just the Federal Reserve. He
found multiple computers in the federal government that are just
creating money out of thin air.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
So I call it magic.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
My computer and computer which can just make money out
of thin air best magic money.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
So how does that work? It just issues payments.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And you staid of something like eleven of these computers
a Treasury that are that are sending out trillions in payments.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
They're mostly Treasury, Some are with the sum at HHS,
some at there's one as wanted to a state. There's
at DoD. I think we found out fourteen money computers.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
The DoD, the Department of Defense, the Pentagon. The Pentagon
has the ability to print out money out of thin air?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Have they of all those fourteen computers and those trillions
of dollars, have they sent you any? It turns out
no me either. What what are we doing wrong?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I got zero of that money back during the pandemic
when they were handing out stemmi checks. I remember learning
I made just enough money that I don't get squat. Sorry,
you've contributed too much to the system, you get nothing
in return.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
You think they'd want to shut guys like us up?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
And wouldn't a nice coming in from a magic money
computer be a good way to start?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Say, it's pushing pull factors, Steve. One way to get
people to do what you want is to reward him,
But another way is to punish him. That reminds me,
I'm gonna need you to start my car after the show.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Day is it Wednesday? O?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Day?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Is it Wednesday? Did I stutter? Walton and Johnson Radio Network?
So I don't remember? No, I think that's kind of
how it went. I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't blame you for this, But who decided it
would be good to to do that to that song?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well?

Speaker 1 (05:24):
This is count Bassie and Deborah Silver and a guy
named Trombone Shorty and they seem to think, uh, you know,
they can take some liberties with a song. I had
to sing this song as a child in my school
public school music class, and the lyrics were changed to
always has a real good time. As an adult, it
never occurred to me this was a song about drinking alcohol.

(05:46):
Oh no, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's cute. That was a new song, I think when
I was in school.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, wow, so what when I was in a grown
up in elementary school, I remember we had a young
female music teacher and I was repubessage, so I never
thought twice about this, you know. But she would have
us sing contemporary music, you know, a Yellow Submarine by
the Beatles, for example. And I remember the first time
we had a school music recital, watching all of the

(06:14):
fathers react to the sight of my school music teacher,
and it occurred to me, that's what it means to
be attractive.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Ooh.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
And then a short time later I came of age
and I was like, no, yeah, they were right.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
She's a babe. How much older was she than you?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I mean I got it twenties, but I mean when
you're seven, that's like she was old, not the same
age gap. As a menuet Mahron of France and his wife.
Yeah that's different, right, Is she a dude? Yes, we
were just watching it.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Sure looks that way.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
We were just watching a video of Emmanuel Macron's wife
giving a lecture to what looked like a college classroom.
And boy, some broad shoulders, really a wide stance, the
way she walks up and down the little aisle between
the desks and all it looks very mannish.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
He is basically now, according to these new stories that
I've gathered, the national laughing stock of France because of that,
you know, slap or face push, whichever you want to
refer to. There's been a lot of people dissecting that
video since yesterday, and body language experts are talking about
the fact that this was in no way joking. They

(07:28):
weren't kidding or playing around.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
He had a.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Real look of anger and shock about him, and then
that whole oh look people saw, yeah, everything's fine, that reaction.
She's twenty five years older than him, and.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Their relationship began when he was in miss He was
about fifteen when they met, right like a freshman in
high school, and she was almost forty.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
She was thirty nine years old.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Now there were like forty seven and close to seven two,
right with the twenty five year gap. Now, if they
weren't teacher and student when they met, maybe that wouldn't
be as big a deal.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Seem to concern anybody, although we do like to make
fun of it. When Bill Belichick and his fiance now
I believe they are forty eight years apart, that's different.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
But I don't think he was grooming her when she
was fifteen.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
It's not the same thing, right, she was already an
adult when the two of them met each other. And
you know, let's leave Bill Belichick out of this. He
did nothing wrong. Frankly, isn't it kind of weird that
we're more critical of him than we are these two weirdos.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Their life actually affects people. We're kind of being critical now.
People are looking into this a little more than usual.
It's a very unhealthy relationship the two of them. And
it's even if you don't think that that shove and
the push on the airplane was anything. For those that
don't know, yesterday we reported on this. Maybe you just
got back from your vacation from Memorial Day. But Frances first,
lady the very butcher looking first lady, the elderly, geriatric

(09:05):
butch woman in charge of the home that the President
of France lives in, seemed to push her husband in
the face as he landed in Vietnam, and he says
it was a joke, It was nonsense. They were just
goofing around.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah. No, it was like a scene out of the
TV show Veep.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
He turns and realizes he's on camera, and he has
visually is the pantomiming boh yeah, the nonverbal reaction of
realizing he's being looked at awkwardly, waves at the camera,
jumps behind the door again like ooh this they called us,
almost as though he's terrified. And now he's trying to
pretend like it's a big nothing. It's not a nothing.

(09:43):
Something weird was going on on that plane. An elderly
woman beating the president. An elderly man beating the president
of France. Yeah, she may actually be a man, Bridget
is that her name? Trogno, that's none of our business.
If he's happy to be happy for right?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
But is he happy? It looks like he's being held
against his will.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Is anybody with Stockholm syndrome really happy? Or do they
just think they're happy?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Right?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
The two of them first met in nineteen ninety three,
when he was fifteen. At the time, she worked as
a teacher at his secondary school.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And she was forty.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
As you get older, the difference in the ages, I
guess doesn't matter as much. I would agree, but think
about fifteen and forty it mattered then. If it was
a forty year old man, yeah, people would have had
a much bigger problem. Dude.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
If it was a forty year old man and a
fifteen year old girl, people would have been pissed. Of course,
this is the French were talking about it, right.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Do you remember what.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
They did during the opening ceremony of the Olympics last year. Now,
his parents were not cool with this. They were not
doubt They sent him away to boarding school because of her,
and when he got out he came home and married
her immediately. Right back to it, it's sort of the
scarcity effect. What you can't have, you want more.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
A lot of men will understand women probably too. You
know you, the pretty girl at school wanted you, but
the ugly one didn't. And somehow it's the ugly one
you long for. Something odd about that right. Never, by
the way, young man, never chase after the one.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Who got away. You'll only regret it later on. I'm told,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Know, you're not aware of how that worked. That's what
That's what I've heard. Yeah, not personal experience at all.
And there's just something about her. There's this twenty seventeen
interview where she said there was nothing between the two
of them at the time when he was a young man. No,
Well then why did his parents send him away?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Clearly there was something between the two of you. And
then he got home and they got married immediately. Look,
you know, it's not hard to see what happened here.
And then after a decade of tying the Nott, he
came home. He was twenty nine, she was fifty four.
They got married, and then ten years later, he was
thirty nine, he became president of France. He's been in

(11:54):
that position ever since. The two of them are so weird.
I what kind of strange arrangement do they have? What
baby's blood did they drink at the altar of the
European Union's Secret Covenant meeting, and their cloak and dagg
earth wearing robes deep beneath the Vatican or wherever it

(12:15):
was that they were when they had this meeting.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I like that. It works for me.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Something very bizarre had So there's way more to their
CD relationship than what we could see. Oh yeah, and frankly,
I don't want to know about it.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, it could be more disturbing than we'd like to
get into.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
In twenty seventeen, Emmanuel Macron was accused of being gay
and that the two of them had like, you know,
a beard relationship. He actually addressed it. He laughed it off. Said,
if you're told I lead a double life, it's because
my hologram has escaped, was something he told the media
at the time.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Which is clever.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
But also, you know, some of us do think you
have a hologram, so it's really not helping the case here. Buddy,
Are you a shape shifting lizard person?

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, Good Wednesday morning, everybody.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It'll be a fun show show. Okay, let's go showtime.
