Mistaken, the guys that did this song were really into
the Irish Republican Army. They were into anti British terrorism.
I could be wrong about that.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
If I am. I hope I don't get a suit.

Maybe Northern Ireland versus Ireland. Yeah, right, it's two separate countries.

Don Meredith was a quarterback. Okay, this was well.

Look, I think he died before I was born. But yeah,
I'm aware of No, he didn't. Actually he was born

He said he died before you were born? And then
look at Billy you fifteen years old, wasn't it. Billy
had's pissed off.
Speaker 1 (06:16):

think people need to get their money back.

she was a complicated person.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
That movie their TV shows what over ten years old.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
At this Yeah, probably so because nowadays a young female
government employee going off her madge, that's no.
Speaker 3 (07:43):

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Brought to you by law Tigers of course one eight
hundred law Tigers, law tigers dot com. If you get
in a motorcycle accident today. In seven, the US Patent
Office was established. Among the top creations of this great country.
In my safety pin.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, maybe in America, if you invented something and a
rich guy tried to steal it from you, he couldn't
get away with it. You could go to court and win.
That's kind of awesome if you was white. Now that's
a little different on some sides of town.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Come on, dude, you say that like, we haven't all
lived through February. Hello the traffic light, Peanut butter, what
was the what was another February Black History Month for itself?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, yeah, the invented. Yeah, black guy invented Black History
Month for sure. I'm sure you knew that white he
can't steal that. The safety pin well was pattented on
this date.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I told you, Walter Hunt Walter Hunted eighteen forty nine.
The world just lost their mind. Oh safety pin never
seen anything like it before. And he sold the rights
to whoever you know mass produced it for four hundred dollars.
Now in eighteen forty nine, that's probably like forty thousand
(10:00):
dollars today or something. But still, the other thing that
makes this so interesting is, according to what I'm reading
on my screen, the safety pen had already existed for
a long time, but nobody had ever bothered to patent.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It, so he got He was crafty like that.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
See you might say he only got four hundred bucks,
but it was four hundred bucks for doing almost nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, Oh it's a Titanic day too. Not the day
it sank, which is what everybody thinks of the Titanic.
It's the day that it sets. Sale from the Southampton, England,
you know, in nineteen twelve, it was five days later
it was on the ocean floor. Boom today. In nineteen
sixty six, the Aspca became a thing today. In nineteen
(10:40):
twenty five, The Great Gatsby was published. It was Fitzgerald's
third novel. It's sold five hundred thousand copies in a year,
and what is it?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A lot?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's more than Kamala Harris's book sold. Sure, I think
that by her husband was told to buy one.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The Great Gatsby is a story that hits a little
different when you're a divorced man than it did when
I was in middle school and I was told to
read the book.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Did you read it? Yeah? You had to. Did you
read it? It was a school assignment?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Me.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Sure I read the book. I saw the movie. Did
you skim it or did you read it? I read it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I was pretty good in English and history, math and
science not so much. But the story is fascinating because
it's about a rich guy who spends all his money
throwing parties that he doesn't attend because he hopes a
woman that he's in love with will show up and
attend the party. Well, if he don't go to the party,
how's he gonna know if she goes with the party? Well,
I guess he was a lucky louie. Just he hangs back, yeah,
and just watches the crowd. Today, in nineteen forty one,
(11:35):
US troops occupy Greenland to protect it from the Nazis,
And I think it should be our property.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Up yours Greenland? Up here is Denmark.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They got no gratitude at all after we saved him, Yeah,
like the rest of the world.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Basically we had to just give him back to Germany.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Today, in nineteen forty seven, JQ. Jackie Robinson breaks the
color barrier. He was the first guy to ever own
a tech company who was black.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's impressive. Yeah. Today, in nineteen sixty one, Gary Player
is the first international golfer to win the Masters. He's
now ninety years old, still showing up.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Is he doing so far this year?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think he's not playing. He's just there hanging out today.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
In nineteen seventy five, Lee Elder is the first black
golfer to win the Masters. Happened the same day Jackie
Robinson broke the color barrier. Almost seems like it was intentional. Yeah,
everybody else just backed up and said, let this guy win.
I mean, the timing is a little odd. Those two
things happen on the same day. What statistically are the
odds of that.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's fine. We all
think it's great. Thank you, Yeah, thank you. The inshot
of My Mama's persh Walton and Johnson Radio.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Network reoccurring Shuttle theme songs were Born to Be Wild
by Stephenwolf, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, the Rocky theme, the
Star Wars theme, Heartbreak Hotel cover by Astronaut band Max Q.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay, yeah, that's all good wake up music. And that's
that's what the astronauts needed. A good wake up this
morning because they got a steer that thing.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Back to Earth.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know, it's funny you use the word steer because
over there at the Johnson Space Center every year they
raise a steer.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, they do for the rodeo in Houston. Yeah did
it win?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't think it ever does. But they still made
the effort. Yeah, they just do it for fun. They're
not even trying. They just make it. They just have a.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Cow over here growing up in the background.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They probably got a bunch of them back there, and
they picked the tastiest looking one for a big barbecue
and the astronaut's land and get back to Earth.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I like it. We're gonna go to Florida in just
a second, but real quick.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
An update on the quadriplegic amputeue cornhole champion is standing
accused of murder.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's about time y'all got around it is.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We got a video of him snorting something through a
rolled up dollar bill and then firing a gun months
before allegedly shooting his friend to death.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Who's holding the rolled up dollar bill?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Hang on, let me put it on the screen. That's
a man's breast. Before you all reacted or like, ooh,
I've got the video on the screen. There he's shirtless.
He was upside down snorting what appears to be drugs. Dude,
this guy's crazy. He goes and picks up a gun,
walks to his window.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Was he a midget or does he just look like
a midget because he ain't got no legs, no arms
and legs. Yeah, he's got some arms and legs. Obviously,
he just doesn't have the complete set.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
He snorts drugs, I'm guessing, and then he walks to
the window of his house or apartment and starts firing
a rifle out the.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But this story was about cornhole.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I thought, well, he's a cornhole champion, and does he
throw it with his mouth?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Does he, you know, like a like a dog? Will
you know, throw a toy and then go get it?
Have you not seen the video of him doing cornhole?
Hang out?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Oh yeah, I can't imagine I'd missed any cornhole excitement.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
This is one of those things. Hang on, I got
it on the screen here, let me show it to you. Yes,
he's got He kind of holds it with both of
his nubs.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
He's got nubs.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I'm dating Webber and I'm a professional corner. I gotten
a back zio affection when I was just ten months old.
The infection that got into my arms legs was called
strept tococcas pneumonia. They had actually given me a three
percent chance of living. Sounds he does the only way
that they were able to save the cocos by getting
the infections out of my system. They had to amputate
(15:17):
my arms and legs to keep me alive.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Good.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Thankful for the Lord as a baby given those surgeons.
Is the power that he did that day to be
able to make such a miracle app like.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The Lord for knife sharpeners.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, that's a good.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Inspiration to me.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Is a daily drive. I believe that God put me
on this planet for one reason. Everybody's got their reasons
for being here, but my reason, I feel like, is
to inspire other people.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You know, the story of this guy is really a
roller coaster ride.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Imagine you're someone that takes cornhole very seriously.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Like the other people in this tournament.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
That's right, you've seen this sort of thing before. The
other people were all fully limbed.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Right, So he's not a corn hoole champion of the
pair oriplegic world. No, he's a corn old champion of
the fully limbed world. Now now hang on a second, fot,
let's ride this roller coaster. Yeah, it's impressive. Imagine this
guy defeats you.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, and you got arms in a leg.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And everywhere you go people make fun of you for that.
Oh my god, that's like fighting a girl.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But you don't. You'll brag about, you know, losing to that,
or if I are winning. But then one day you're
at home watching the news and they're this guy getting
arrested for murder, and then you go, yes, yes, I
told you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh yeah, he did it, he did it all and
Molba's a stuff y'all don't even know about he, do you?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And everybody in the room looks at you like you're
an insane person. Of course they do. Why are you
so happy that this disabled man murdered someone? Well, if
you only knew, You're like, you don't understand. This guy
ruined my life.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I can't even go to my favorite bar anymore because
this guy humiliated me. There. You know what he could
have done tried to be better at cornhle. Yeah. You know,
sometimes it's good of saying, well, why'd that happen to me?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I say, why? Then I'd just be better at whatever
it was.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You know they found the murder weapon and it didn't
even have any fingerprints out.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Is that right? Yeah? What about nub prints? No, none
of them.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Everybody's nubs have a different signature to them. Police will
tell you that. I want to believe that. I don't
think it's true.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Though you know that it did the investigation, then those
investigators have no leg to stand on.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I never thought i'd say this, but oh my god,
could we go to Florida? I mean, we're gonna get
to Florida. Then almost sink in Florida.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
They caught him right handed? Good they Okay, what Oh
Florida Man, let me check, yes, sir, yes, h Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Check it out today, you'll love it. We're going down
to Plant City, Florida. I don't know if you know
where that's at.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I looked it up on the map and it is
over that way from Tampa Bay, got it or Tampa.
The Bay is next to the land, so it's technically Tampa,
and then if you go west, you're in the water,
so it is east of Tampa. That's where Nick Guadaloupe
Cruise Lopez. Yeah, has been arrested now and charged with
(18:52):
making a threat to kild the president of the United States.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I assume he was going.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
To get arrested now because he's Hispanic, because you're talking
about him.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of only five
years in federal prison. That's the most you can get
for threatening to kill the president. And they'll let you
know right up. But it's even less for Trump. It's
more like three weeks I think if you do any
jail time at all, I don't agree with that. Earlier, well,
last week, I guess it was. Yeah, mister Kruz Lopez
(19:26):
posted a photo of himself on his Instagram account which stated,
maga otw to kill Trump.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Got it means on the way? Got it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, Well I'm reading it the way he wrote it. Well,
that's just how people talk on Twitter. I thought everybody
knew that. It shows a picture of him in his
vehicle holding an AR fifteen style rifle and he's got it,
you know, he's holding it up. And well, there he is,
and he says he's on the way to kill Trump.
And you know, the most hurtful thing about this, and
I'm sure he did it on purpose, did not capitalize
(20:04):
the T in Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, oh that was mean. That was vicious.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
So if that was the phone, you know, because maybe
the phone won't capitalize Trump unless you force it to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I would imagine not no, and it drives grammar. Nazi's crazy.
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So you posted on Instagram ahead of you know, you're
on the way. So the federal agents were just kind
of like waiting for him when he got there. I
guess obviously. Yeah, so criminal complaint. It's a formal charge
that he has committed a violation of a.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Federal criminal law.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And of course he's presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
All he gonna do is prove it's him.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, I mean, you look at the car, the picture,
the fact that he put it on his you know,
social media thing. It don't seem like it's gonna be
that tough to pin him down on that.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Boy, you'd think not, but then again, probably today's justice
system they always find a way.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is that really deserving of a Florida man though, because
aren't there Florida guys threatening to kill the president almost daily?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I don't know, we've done Florida man for less, you know, yeah,
oh yes we have. Yeah what Yeah? I think that
qualifies for sure. It does.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It's not like a full ten out of ten, that's
probably like a three and a half, but Florida man,
noneth the last two it counts.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
They make me sick.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Walton M. Johnson
If you're coming home tonight. Yeah, they're excited. I can
(00:04):
tell Atlantis.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
July twenty eleven, Final Shuttle mission for STS one thirty five.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
This was a great year for music in outer space.
Besides this one? What else they got?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, mister Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra appears to
have shut up a few times.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I almost to me, that's.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Just kind of lazy, you know, space landing Blue Sky. Sure,
let's just go with that.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I almost couldn't decide what to play this year, But yeah,
I get your point.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We don't knock the lazy around here. Look at what
we do for a living. No, no, no, that's our whole thing.
I didn't say it was a bad thing, and it's
just kind of lazy because it was really easy. That's
why we chose the work we're in today.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
July twenty eleven was a Man on the Moon by
Rocketman at Rocketman by Elton John, Man on the Moon
by the Beatles, Good Day Sunshine was there?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Tub Thumping by Chumbo Wombo. Yeah, that almost seems mean.
Viva Levita by Coldplay. That makes sense, I guess. Eclectic
end of an era mix.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Tub Thumping for a mission Specialist Sandy Magnus Special Messages
from the Marshall Space Flight Center.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
What was I'm sure I've heard it, but I don't
know how well, maybe I'll regret just what was tub thumping?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
It's a great bar song. It's a great song to sing.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh yeah, I've heard it. Do they say tub thumping
in here? The people that wrote this song, I could
not do they get knocked down.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
No, If I'm not.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Mistaken, the guys that did this song were really into
the Irish Republican Army. They were into anti British terrorism.
I could be wrong about that.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
If I am. I hope I don't get a suit.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Maybe Northern Ireland versus Ireland. Yeah, right, it's two separate countries.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
One of them's like cool independent Ireland and then the
others like woke bitch ass Ireland getting slapped around by
the King of English.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, oh yeah, I won't have it. That's cuck Ireland.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You know, what, do you think any of the astronauts
ever had their birthday? You played, you know in space, like,

Why why was he telling the kid he was? He
his There was no excuse for that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):

know what did he do? Now, you're being very disrespectful
to the state of Texas.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Here, both of you. Both of you need to go
staying in a corner. Think about what you've said. Oh,
Don Meredith was a quarterback. Okay, this was well.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Look, I think he died before I was born. But yeah,
I'm aware of No, he didn't. Actually he was born
in nineteen thirty eight. Dan d Don was an American
football player. He died in twenty ten. Okay, pretty sure
you were you know, old enough to have heard of it,
oh so long ago. But maybe he quit playing before
you were born. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It was certainly before I moved to Texas, so I
can't be expected to know everyone.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
No, yeah, but you should have known that. All right.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Let's see, he played in the mid sixties in Green Bay.
Couldn't Bay, It says here when the NFL decided last
minute that the Cowboys were going to start playing nineteen
sixty one, looks like he played for a couple. He
was a cowboy. Yeah, you're right, duh. Anyway, rest in peace.
He was a cowboy.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And happy birthday or whatever we're doing.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
What we were doing.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
We should do celebrity death days. That would be fun, right, Oh,
the funnest because when did you like to know?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
When he died? That's more important than when he was born?
Did you want to know? Yeah, now we know twenty ten.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
We just figured out. I told you, but you weren't
much help with that. I'm the one who brought it up.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, but you were all like, oh, who's this done?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
He said he died before you were born? And then
look at Billy you fifteen years old, wasn't it. Billy
had's pissed off.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't think anything you all have said in the
last five minutes was worthy of this audience, and I
think people need to get their money back.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, I feel bad about it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Tomorrow's birthdays include Joss Stone, the talented singer. We also

She was a CIA counter terrorism agent who was bipolar.
That's what she had to take medication, was bipolar. And
then sometimes she'd go off her mids like people will. Yeah,
she was a complicated person.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
That movie their TV shows what over ten years old.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
At this Yeah, probably so because nowadays a young female
government employee going off her madge, that's no.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You couldn't do a TV show about that.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That'd be perfectly acceptable in every way. That's happening all
the time constantly. Sunday's also Andy Garcia's birthday. He's in
Landman recently you may have seen him. David Letterman will

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Roll Day, Safety pen Day. Huh national that I know why? Why?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well, whoever invented it probably invented it on this day
or something Cinnamon crescent roll Day. Who and I can
go for that?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And now today in history brought to you, Bob. I
was wondering if we were going to have time for that. Yeah,
we get squeeze it in. I got a few squeeze me.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Brought to you by law Tigers of course one eight
hundred law Tigers, law tigers dot com. If you get
in a motorcycle accident today. In seven, the US Patent
Office was established. Among the top creations of this great country.
In my safety pin.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, maybe in America, if you invented something and a
rich guy tried to steal it from you, he couldn't
get away with it. You could go to court and win.
That's kind of awesome if you was white. Now that's
a little different on some sides of town.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Come on, dude, you say that like, we haven't all
lived through February. Hello the traffic light, Peanut butter, what
was the what was another February Black History Month for itself?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, yeah, the invented. Yeah, black guy invented Black History
Month for sure. I'm sure you knew that white he
can't steal that. The safety pin well was pattented on
this date.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I told you, Walter Hunt Walter Hunted eighteen forty nine.
The world just lost their mind. Oh safety pin never
seen anything like it before. And he sold the rights
to whoever you know mass produced it for four hundred dollars.
Now in eighteen forty nine, that's probably like forty thousand
(10:00):
dollars today or something. But still, the other thing that
makes this so interesting is, according to what I'm reading
on my screen, the safety pen had already existed for
a long time, but nobody had ever bothered to patent.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It, so he got He was crafty like that.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
See you might say he only got four hundred bucks,
but it was four hundred bucks for doing almost nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, Oh it's a Titanic day too. Not the day
it sank, which is what everybody thinks of the Titanic.
It's the day that it sets. Sale from the Southampton, England,
you know, in nineteen twelve, it was five days later
it was on the ocean floor. Boom today. In nineteen
sixty six, the Aspca became a thing today. In nineteen
(10:40):
twenty five, The Great Gatsby was published. It was Fitzgerald's
third novel. It's sold five hundred thousand copies in a year,
and what is it?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A lot?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's more than Kamala Harris's book sold. Sure, I think
that by her husband was told to buy one.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
The Great Gatsby is a story that hits a little
different when you're a divorced man than it did when
I was in middle school and I was told to
read the book.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Did you read it? Yeah? You had to. Did you
read it? It was a school assignment?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Me.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Sure I read the book. I saw the movie. Did
you skim it or did you read it? I read it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I was pretty good in English and history, math and
science not so much. But the story is fascinating because
it's about a rich guy who spends all his money
throwing parties that he doesn't attend because he hopes a
woman that he's in love with will show up and
attend the party. Well, if he don't go to the party,
how's he gonna know if she goes with the party? Well,
I guess he was a lucky louie. Just he hangs back, yeah,
and just watches the crowd. Today, in nineteen forty one,
(11:35):
US troops occupy Greenland to protect it from the Nazis,
And I think it should be our property.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Up yours Greenland? Up here is Denmark.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They got no gratitude at all after we saved him, Yeah,
like the rest of the world.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Basically we had to just give him back to Germany.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Today, in nineteen forty seven, JQ. Jackie Robinson breaks the
color barrier. He was the first guy to ever own
a tech company who was black.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's impressive. Yeah. Today, in nineteen sixty one, Gary Player
is the first international golfer to win the Masters. He's
now ninety years old, still showing up.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Is he doing so far this year?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think he's not playing. He's just there hanging out today.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
In nineteen seventy five, Lee Elder is the first black
golfer to win the Masters. Happened the same day Jackie
Robinson broke the color barrier. Almost seems like it was intentional. Yeah,
everybody else just backed up and said, let this guy win.
I mean, the timing is a little odd. Those two
things happen on the same day. What statistically are the
odds of that.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's fine. We all
think it's great. Thank you, Yeah, thank you. The inshot
of My Mama's persh Walton and Johnson Radio.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Network reoccurring Shuttle theme songs were Born to Be Wild
by Stephenwolf, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, the Rocky theme, the
Star Wars theme, Heartbreak Hotel cover by Astronaut band Max Q.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay, yeah, that's all good wake up music. And that's
that's what the astronauts needed. A good wake up this
morning because they got a steer that thing.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Back to Earth.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
You know, it's funny you use the word steer because
over there at the Johnson Space Center every year they
raise a steer.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, they do for the rodeo in Houston. Yeah did
it win?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't think it ever does. But they still made
the effort. Yeah, they just do it for fun. They're
not even trying. They just make it. They just have a.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Cow over here growing up in the background.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They probably got a bunch of them back there, and
they picked the tastiest looking one for a big barbecue
and the astronaut's land and get back to Earth.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I like it. We're gonna go to Florida in just
a second, but real quick.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
An update on the quadriplegic amputeue cornhole champion is standing
accused of murder.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's about time y'all got around it is.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We got a video of him snorting something through a
rolled up dollar bill and then firing a gun months
before allegedly shooting his friend to death.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Who's holding the rolled up dollar bill?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Hang on, let me put it on the screen. That's
a man's breast. Before you all reacted or like, ooh,
I've got the video on the screen. There he's shirtless.
He was upside down snorting what appears to be drugs. Dude,
this guy's crazy. He goes and picks up a gun,
walks to his window.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Was he a midget or does he just look like
a midget because he ain't got no legs, no arms
and legs. Yeah, he's got some arms and legs. Obviously,
he just doesn't have the complete set.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
He snorts drugs, I'm guessing, and then he walks to
the window of his house or apartment and starts firing
a rifle out the.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But this story was about cornhole.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I thought, well, he's a cornhole champion, and does he
throw it with his mouth?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Does he, you know, like a like a dog? Will
you know, throw a toy and then go get it?
Have you not seen the video of him doing cornhole?
Hang out?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Oh yeah, I can't imagine I'd missed any cornhole excitement.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
This is one of those things. Hang on, I got
it on the screen here, let me show it to you. Yes,
he's got He kind of holds it with both of
his nubs.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
He's got nubs.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I'm dating Webber and I'm a professional corner. I gotten
a back zio affection when I was just ten months old.
The infection that got into my arms legs was called
strept tococcas pneumonia. They had actually given me a three
percent chance of living. Sounds he does the only way
that they were able to save the cocos by getting
the infections out of my system. They had to amputate
(15:17):
my arms and legs to keep me alive.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Good.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Thankful for the Lord as a baby given those surgeons.
Is the power that he did that day to be
able to make such a miracle app like.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
The Lord for knife sharpeners.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, that's a good.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Inspiration to me.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Is a daily drive. I believe that God put me
on this planet for one reason. Everybody's got their reasons
for being here, but my reason, I feel like, is
to inspire other people.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
You know, the story of this guy is really a
roller coaster ride.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Imagine you're someone that takes cornhole very seriously.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Like the other people in this tournament.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
That's right, you've seen this sort of thing before. The
other people were all fully limbed.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Right, So he's not a corn hoole champion of the
pair oriplegic world. No, he's a corn old champion of
the fully limbed world. Now now hang on a second, fot,
let's ride this roller coaster. Yeah, it's impressive. Imagine this
guy defeats you.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, and you got arms in a leg.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And everywhere you go people make fun of you for that.
Oh my god, that's like fighting a girl.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But you don't. You'll brag about, you know, losing to that,
or if I are winning. But then one day you're
at home watching the news and they're this guy getting
arrested for murder, and then you go, yes, yes, I
told you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh yeah, he did it, he did it all and
Molba's a stuff y'all don't even know about he, do you?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And everybody in the room looks at you like you're
an insane person. Of course they do. Why are you
so happy that this disabled man murdered someone? Well, if
you only knew, You're like, you don't understand. This guy
ruined my life.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I can't even go to my favorite bar anymore because
this guy humiliated me. There. You know what he could
have done tried to be better at cornhle. Yeah. You know,
sometimes it's good of saying, well, why'd that happen to me?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I say, why? Then I'd just be better at whatever
it was.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You know they found the murder weapon and it didn't
even have any fingerprints out.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Is that right? Yeah? What about nub prints? No, none
of them.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Everybody's nubs have a different signature to them. Police will
tell you that. I want to believe that. I don't
think it's true.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Though you know that it did the investigation, then those
investigators have no leg to stand on.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I never thought i'd say this, but oh my god,
could we go to Florida? I mean, we're gonna get
to Florida. Then almost sink in Florida.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
They caught him right handed? Good they Okay, what Oh
Florida Man, let me check, yes, sir, yes, h Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Check it out today, you'll love it. We're going down
to Plant City, Florida. I don't know if you know
where that's at.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I looked it up on the map and it is
over that way from Tampa Bay, got it or Tampa.
The Bay is next to the land, so it's technically Tampa,
and then if you go west, you're in the water,
so it is east of Tampa. That's where Nick Guadaloupe
Cruise Lopez. Yeah, has been arrested now and charged with
(18:52):
making a threat to kild the president of the United States.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I assume he was going.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
To get arrested now because he's Hispanic, because you're talking
about him.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of only five
years in federal prison. That's the most you can get
for threatening to kill the president. And they'll let you
know right up. But it's even less for Trump. It's
more like three weeks I think if you do any
jail time at all, I don't agree with that. Earlier, well,
last week, I guess it was. Yeah, mister Kruz Lopez
(19:26):
posted a photo of himself on his Instagram account which stated,
maga otw to kill Trump.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Got it means on the way? Got it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, Well I'm reading it the way he wrote it. Well,
that's just how people talk on Twitter. I thought everybody
knew that. It shows a picture of him in his
vehicle holding an AR fifteen style rifle and he's got it,
you know, he's holding it up. And well, there he is,
and he says he's on the way to kill Trump.
And you know, the most hurtful thing about this, and
I'm sure he did it on purpose, did not capitalize
(20:04):
the T in Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, oh that was mean. That was vicious.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
So if that was the phone, you know, because maybe
the phone won't capitalize Trump unless you force it to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I would imagine not no, and it drives grammar. Nazi's crazy.
Imagine that.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So you posted on Instagram ahead of you know, you're
on the way. So the federal agents were just kind
of like waiting for him when he got there. I
guess obviously. Yeah, so criminal complaint. It's a formal charge
that he has committed a violation of a.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Federal criminal law.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And of course he's presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
All he gonna do is prove it's him.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, I mean, you look at the car, the picture,
the fact that he put it on his you know,
social media thing. It don't seem like it's gonna be
that tough to pin him down on that.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Boy, you'd think not, but then again, probably today's justice
system they always find a way.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is that really deserving of a Florida man though, because
aren't there Florida guys threatening to kill the president almost daily?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I don't know, we've done Florida man for less, you know, yeah,
oh yes we have. Yeah what Yeah? I think that
qualifies for sure. It does.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It's not like a full ten out of ten, that's
probably like a three and a half, but Florida man,
noneth the last two it counts.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
They make me sick.
Speaker 3 (21:24):

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
