Speaker 1 (00:00):
The watusi. Do you know how to do that one?
There's a lot of good dances out there that are
being forgotten. Oh, obviously the monkey was pretty easy. The
swim self explanatory. The watusi kind of leaves you what
do I do? Like you guys used to name dances? God? Yes,
what was the point of that? Yeah? Remember that? What's
(00:21):
that one where they do their their knees back and
forth like this and their hands? Is it the Charleston?
I think? So? Why why do dances need names so
everybody can call it out and you can just go
in and start doing that. You know, they do line
dancing and they have I don't know if they have
the name for the line dancing separate from the name
of the song. But everybody knows what dance to do
(00:43):
to which song when you're line dancing, which we don't
do around here, and you don't let your friends do
it neither. We sure don't. Oh, what do you guys
think about this one? Tales from the crypt? Now you're
onto up that for Biden's book title. That's great, Yeah,
Biden book title. He might get sued by HBO if
(01:03):
you're totally worth it too. Yeah. Uh, here's let's see,
I'm behind the gym and I can't get up. It's
pretty good. That's kind of clever. I like that one. Okay,
uh oh, there's uh let's see. I think the names. No,
we did did that one? How to Do It? Oh?
I love this one? If you remember the old movie
(01:23):
How to Succeed in Politics Without really trying?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I mean, because it does look like he never really tried,
do you think so? I mean, he was there for
he was just half hundred years.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, he was there and he was successful if you
just say he was successful by being there for one
hundred years, But did he ever really make an effort
at anything? You guys?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sick or tired of illegal immigrants and migrants and refugees and.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Sick and damn tired is what I'm tired of. And
I'm tired of the ones that keep acting like they're
just all good people and we're just being mean to
him for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, the people of pitting in England came up with
a pretty good solution. Apparently, this tiny village in the
UK found out we're going to get a whole influx
of immigrants. Now there's only two hundred people that live there.
So when they got the news, they said, we're not
going to be part of England anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh what are they going to join up with a
different country or are they going to start their own country.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
There's only two hundred people in Pittington and they found
out twelve hundred and fifty adult males from a third
world country. We're going to be housed right next to
their children's playground in a town with no police force.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And they go out number. What could go wrong? Nothing,
nothing at all except that these people have been outed
as a racist. That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So when they got the news, they said, and I
repeat ought not, well not what ought not? Bring a
bunch of illegal immigrants here? Oh yeah, and just dump
them off in Pittington. Pittington, don't play homeboy?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Is all.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Vote for independence from the UK? Over applies to house
as solovety in the area. Doesn't it sound like British
people aren't even speaking.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Welcome back Gibberish, Gibberish, Gibberish teas and crumpets.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh I'm here to the queen anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So they voted and they said, we're not part of
the UK anymore, and what are they that got to
be their own country.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, they're gonna call it.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They have voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from the UK.
In a fight against the British government, they said, we
will not take your asylum seekers here. We're not part
of your country. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So what if twelve hundred people just try to move
in on the two hundred and something that are already there,
They're going to be way out numbered.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, they say they're now a sovereign nation, So I
guess they could take up arms. You know, it's England
where nobody has any guns. But now since they're not
part of England anymore, I guess they could get some guns.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Or a nuclear weapon. You know, Trump ain't told him
they can't have one yet. Maybe they could start building.
They just still working on that right away.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Since they are now a marginalized country, maybe we could
provide them with some of our old guns that were
not using anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Seems like you know better than you know just throwing
them away. You know, that's a waste.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know, I don't need all my guns. You know
you have guns, where do you keep them?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
There?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The sun? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Ever since Trump won election, I found them in that
creek where I lost him.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Dug them up out of the mud at the bottom
of the creek.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, exactly, that boating acts it was a kayak accident.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, well you shouldn't. You shouldn't have loaded up
with so many guns. Good point.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, probably tipped you over right there. Q and news
story today from North Carolina. A four year old boy
named Roman has a lot going against him. His dad split,
he has a super unfortunate last name, Bolt's laugh, Roman
bolts laugh, and his mom is the only family he's got.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But Roman hasn't let that get him down. But it'd
be cool if his name was a Roman noodles or numeral.
That'd be where Edward too. Hey, hey, rote Romen, I
mean Roman, get over here. Yeah, it feels like you're
making fun of him.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But since his dad cut out on him, I guess
changing his last name is not the worst idea.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
No, and that's just to make him tougher. You know,
you grow up without a dad, you gotta be tough.
You can get by daddy ain't gonna be there for you.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well, with all the problems this young man has, he's
still decided he's not going to let him get it down.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
According to a new report from CBS Evening News, Roman
goes outside and waves hello to all of the neighbors
in his town.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh okay.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Not many kids crave connection more than this four year
old named Roman passed by his house and conquered North Carolina,
and he will surely greet you with a wave and
a hey.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I want to drive that by that house.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It is adorable. But uh boy, I hate to be
the one to cast negativity.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
On angle Castle spursions.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
If your four year old is standing out in front
of your house talking to strangers all day, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'll just stop right there. I'm not even gonna I
won't even say what we're all thinking. Well, in the
big city, you know, that would have been looked at
as bad parenting. But in a small a town like that,
where everybody knows everybody, you know, there's there's there's no
crime to worry about, right. He seems like a nice kid.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I hate to think there'd be weirdos out there, but
from what I can tell nowadays, there are weirdos everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There are so many weirdos. I mean, I don't mean
there's bad I'm sortainly. I think kid's cute, and it's
Grady's out there, you know, making friends and everything, and
everybody seems to be enjoying seeing him. But every time
he waves his arm like that and says, hey, I
just see Forrest Gump. I Lieutenant Dan. You remember when
he waved addy like that and then he jumped off
(06:46):
his boat to go swim to shore.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, it does kind of remind me of Lieutenant Dan
a little bit or of Forrest Gump. And that was
a great movie. So that's quite the compliment for this
young fella. You know, that's as great of the film
as that is. This kid's for you years old. I mean,
this kid probably thinks that movie is like, really really old.
He's never even heard of it. Yeah, he's never gonna
watch that, No, right, why would he. He's too busy
watching an AI rendition of Rocky. He's too busy watching
(07:11):
a movie about the making of Rocky.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I can't wait to see the movie about the people
that are making a movie about the people that wanted
to make a movie. It's gonna be amazing. Do you
just Hollywood just kind of pat themselves on the on
the butt?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Do you guys understand the appeal. It's a movie about
the making of a movie. Why do we need that.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't know. Nobody seems to have an answer for now. Yeah,
they're doing it. Holly would do well. They don't have
any other ideas. I mean, somebody came up with this
idea and they were like, that's all we got. Go
with it. All right, here's my idea.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's a radio show where we discussed the creation of
the Walton and Johnson Show. That's all the show's about.
We just it's not hosted by the Walton and Johnson cast. Instead,
we get some other guys and they just talk about
Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You know, there was John, there was Steve, there.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Was Billy d. Eventually Kenny came along. That's the show. Well, uh,
that's it now, that's the whole show. Sure, well what
about you? And then a lot of people call in
about me. Sure they'd bring that up. Yeah, we might
mention you, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And then once in a while they take calls and
then someone calls in they go, oh, you know, I
miss old Man's stories and everyone's like.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
What was that. Oh, it was like it was a
long time ago. No, but don't worry about it. And yeah,
it's gonna be a long movie. Why don't you guys
do the movie Guy anymore? Whatever? Ninja dude, Yeah, the
movie Ninja Ninja? Yeah, yeah, what happened to it? I
don't know. I don't know why you keep asking me.
I wasn't there. Time keeps moving on. Time is like
(08:48):
a slow moving river that runs underneath all of our lives,
and slowly but surely it just washes away little bits
and pieces of us until one day we're gone.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And then as you're enjoying the podcast, there could be
a montage of the making of the radio show.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Oh that's gonna be awesome, where.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You see John setting up a radio studio, and then.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Close ups of people just like drinking coffee and trying
to wake up, looking all sleepy and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Billy had going to get a bagel be the worst
montage I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
This montage sucks. Billy hads to do that thing where
he sticks the screwdriver into the electric stuff and the
sparks fly everywhere, and then it gets dark. That happened
one time, two times, like I'm still getting called out
for it. Billy had it happened two times this month.
Well that's what I mean. I thought we have to
pass the bill so that you can find out what
is in it. I've fallen and I can get out
(09:45):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network. Well why is that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, it used to be i'd get to know back
in my younger years because I was getting into trouble.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh huh. But now it's changed a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Because you're a spokesman, a champion for the call you
will I will tell you for the rest of my life,
I will be an advocate for victims' rights. I've learned
a lot over the last year and a half or
so about.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What it's like to be a victim of a crime,
working with different people, victims' rights groups and stuff like that,
and so I just have a soft spot for law
enforcement now because I know what these guys have to
deal with to get.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Their job done, including that guy in that song right there,
he's a high weblotron.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm going to take a position here on a news
story that's a little different than what everyone else in
the media is taking, and I'll admit I don't know
the whole full story yet. I'm curious there's a New
Orleans police detective. The guy's name's Chad Cockerham. Huh, Chad Cockerham.
That's a guy's name, and he is a detective, and
people are upset because he got one hundred and fifty
(10:44):
seven thousand dollars last year.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Is stary.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh, he got paid right, okay, And he says the
reason he got paid that much was because he was
doing one hundred hours a week working overtime. The man's
basically living at the police station like it's episode of
the Wire.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
He's doing time and a half off his regular time.
That's what he's doing, the forty and then he's doing
another forty, and then he's doing a lot more.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Now in New Orleans, the local media there loves to
tell you the police are bad guys.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm not buying it. Again. I'll admit I don't know
the whole story.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Part of the reason I wanted to bring this up
on the air, I wanted to see if our listeners
in New Orleans knew anything about it. But he was
one of the highest overtime earners in the department, and
now people are going after him. He's in the hot
seat as the NOPD inspector is digging into his timekeeping practices,
but he's being transparent about it. Yeah, members of the
(11:39):
media have reached out to him, he's doing interviews. I
don't know if he did anything wrong or not. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You'll hear stories every day in the news about these
politicians and their fraud and their schemes and their tax
evasion and all the other. And they're giving themselves a
raise and making money for the rest of their lives
if they just put four five years worth of service
in And that's all acceptable. But a cop out there
actually working more than twice as much as the average
(12:08):
man on his forty hour a week shift, and we're
supposed to be upset with him because he earned it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know. That's the thing. He's in trouble now.
He's been called out for it. Yeah, exactly. Apparently they've
let him go. They said veteran NOPD detective. The guy
had been there for a long time, and they said
he can't work here anymore. He had too much overtime.
I don't know what the whole story is. I'm curious,
but I got to tell you some guy that was
spending one hundred hours a week trying to investigate crimes,
(12:37):
doing an extra Yeah, no, it's possibly lied.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I don't know. Yeah, but we don't know. But it
doesn't sound right at the on the surface.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
But when the media tries to make a cop sound
like a bad guy, immediately yeah, and then and they
explain why, it's like, well, he was earning a lot
of money working overtime. My first instinct is, hang on,
I don't know. Again, maybe he's lying. Maybe it was
one hundred hours a week eating donuts and doing nothing
just to fill the forum out and then just turn it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And I doubt it though, But.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
If any of our out if any of our listeners
in New Orleans have some insight into this, I'd love
to know what it is. I will say this, over
the last couple of years, the last few years, crime
in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Really gone down.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I noticed there's less homeless people there, and a lot
of it has happened since mister Landry took over the
Governor's off I.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Did notice that as well.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, sure, I know that's not a popular position to
take that someone in a government might be might be
doing their job right.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Something, doing something to help instead of just help themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know how when you'd see someone just once in
a while, you could tell when they've lost weight.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But if you see them every day, you hardly notice.
You don't notice. Right. We go to New Orleans once
a few times a year, right enough, you know, to
where when we see things there happening, and we notice.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And I'm in my mid forties, I've been I've been
doing that since I was in my twenties when I
first started working for this show. So I just noticed
it changed little. The homeless people, the vagrants, the crime.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I'm not saying you should walk around on Bourbon Street
at two in the morning with your purse open, but
things are different now. I just think it used to
be worse than it is now. And I mean noticeably
worse and or noticeably better now, depending on.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
How you describe it. Whichever way you want to look Yeah,
whichever way you want to look at Turn it around
and look at it from the positive side. Yeah, me too, Well,
good for you. Yeah. On a separate subject, yesterday, a
lot of people were very upset that they weren't going
to get According to the news, they weren't going to
get a vote in the Senate about that daylight saving
time thing, and we ought to stop doing it, okay,
(14:38):
and some people don't think, you know, we should, and
some people think we have to. And then they say, well,
I don't think one man in the in the Senate
ought to be able to stop the entire nation from
getting what they want. And he his only reason was
apparently the kids would be at a school bus, some
of them in the dark. And we had an em
(15:00):
from a guy here, Tom in Georgia, who says, maybe
more of the kids these days need to be standing
out in the in the dark, waiting on the bus.
He said, when I first started listening to y'all show,
I was thirteen. It was seventeen years ago. I was
standing in the dark at the bus stop. Okay, me
(15:21):
to my dad had dropped me off on his way
to work. That's how he grew up to be a
good ten percent of a tough son of a gun. Okay,
don't take crap off nobody. Okay, was that way for
me too growing up.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
But while we're on this topic, because I got a
lot to say about this, Tom Cotton doesn't like changing
daylight savings time, he says, because he doesn't want kids
standing out there in the dark. He says, at that
particular time of the day, it would be too dark outside. Now,
what if, and I know this is going to sound crazy,
what if you just started school an hour later?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
If we move the clock one hour forward, start school
one hour for problem.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Solved, understand that it's still the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's all right, So before it would have been nine o'clock,
now it's ten o'clock or what. Okay, I get that
what it says on the clock is different, but the
sun is still in the same place in the sky.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah. Right, it's still the same time of day. It's
signed a different number to it. Thank you. Is this
gonna go This is gonna confuse people.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Of course, back in the nineteen seventies, we tried this
and people didn't like it. The Dick Nixon decided to
experiment with year round daylight saving time. The idea was
to save energy by having more evening sunlights so people
would use less electricity for lights and heating. Dick signed
the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act in nineteen
(16:46):
seventy three. It kicked in January sixth, nineteen seventy four,
and within a year, everyone hated it and they undid it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Initial public support was high, people liked the extra evening
light in theory, but reality hit hard. In the winter,
kids were waiting for school buses and pitch black darkness,
and it's almost like people were too stupid to realize
you could start school an hour later.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You could. You don't have to do it. It would have
still it would still be the same time. You know,
either get it or you don't. At this point, you
got to stop explaining it to people. The airports are
the other people that die. The airlines don't like it
because theoretically they'd have to go and reschedule all the
flights and stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
There'd be planes landing at times when other planes would
be landing, And okay, so it'll cost the airlines a
little bit of money.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Once one time. Just get somebody into learned code, is
what I always say.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Learn the code, bro. It's not like you're gonna have
to keep doing that. Do they not get that?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
How do they deal with it when we do it
twice a year, Well, they've already they've been doing it
that way for so long. It's already they can change it.
It was different before, and it'll be different again. And
yet they still manage to get it done. I know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Anyway, h Taylor Swift made her first public appearance with
her new wedding ring.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's news. That is exciting news. Did we get a
good close up picture because I know the ladies always
want to see the ring? It is a pretty big ring.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I haven't seen a rock that big since Lamar odoms
crack pipe.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's pretty serious.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
There was a big rock. Yeah, boy, they really yeah,
but unfortunately couldn't smoke it. Sorry about that. Lamar was
very disappointed when you found out the news. We've learned
a lot about soccer during the World Cup. Matches were
not games matches. You can use some of that nohow
for your doomed relationship too, I'm told, did you know that?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
You're convinced your relationship has reached stoppage time, but breaking
up is hard. When it's time to send them off,
call Red Card Relationship Services. Our trained relationship referees will
come to your apartment, blow the whistles, show them the
red card, point dramatically toward the door, and send your
partner off the pitch. That's of baggage, commitment, stalling, replying
(19:03):
to every text with a letter K, and if they
argue the call, we'll go to var and review footage.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
If every time they insisted I'm fine, I'm fine, the
ruling on the field is emotional incompatibility. The ruling stands
this breakup.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Don't ghost them, send them off with red card relationship services.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Listening to the Walton and Johnson Network featuring Steve Johnson
and Kenny Webster.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A handsome guy, by the way. I didn't It's usually
not my thing, but he is a good looking shucker.
You must be the new guy.
The watusi. Do you know how to do that one?
There's a lot of good dances out there that are
being forgotten. Oh, obviously the monkey was pretty easy. The
swim self explanatory. The watusi kind of leaves you what
do I do? Like you guys used to name dances? God? Yes,
what was the point of that? Yeah? Remember that? What's
(00:21):
that one where they do their their knees back and
forth like this and their hands? Is it the Charleston?
I think? So? Why why do dances need names so
everybody can call it out and you can just go
in and start doing that. You know, they do line
dancing and they have I don't know if they have
the name for the line dancing separate from the name
of the song. But everybody knows what dance to do
(00:43):
to which song when you're line dancing, which we don't
do around here, and you don't let your friends do
it neither. We sure don't. Oh, what do you guys
think about this one? Tales from the crypt? Now you're
onto up that for Biden's book title. That's great, Yeah,
Biden book title. He might get sued by HBO if
(01:03):
you're totally worth it too. Yeah. Uh, here's let's see,
I'm behind the gym and I can't get up. It's
pretty good. That's kind of clever. I like that one. Okay,
uh oh, there's uh let's see. I think the names. No,
we did did that one? How to Do It? Oh?
I love this one? If you remember the old movie
(01:23):
How to Succeed in Politics Without really trying?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I mean, because it does look like he never really tried,
do you think so? I mean, he was there for
he was just half hundred years.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, he was there and he was successful if you
just say he was successful by being there for one
hundred years, But did he ever really make an effort
at anything? You guys?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sick or tired of illegal immigrants and migrants and refugees and.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Sick and damn tired is what I'm tired of. And
I'm tired of the ones that keep acting like they're
just all good people and we're just being mean to
him for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, the people of pitting in England came up with
a pretty good solution. Apparently, this tiny village in the
UK found out we're going to get a whole influx
of immigrants. Now there's only two hundred people that live there.
So when they got the news, they said, we're not
going to be part of England anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh what are they going to join up with a
different country or are they going to start their own country.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
There's only two hundred people in Pittington and they found
out twelve hundred and fifty adult males from a third
world country. We're going to be housed right next to
their children's playground in a town with no police force.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And they go out number. What could go wrong? Nothing,
nothing at all except that these people have been outed
as a racist. That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So when they got the news, they said, and I
repeat ought not, well not what ought not? Bring a
bunch of illegal immigrants here? Oh yeah, and just dump
them off in Pittington. Pittington, don't play homeboy?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Is all.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Vote for independence from the UK? Over applies to house
as solovety in the area. Doesn't it sound like British
people aren't even speaking.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Welcome back Gibberish, Gibberish, Gibberish teas and crumpets.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh I'm here to the queen anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So they voted and they said, we're not part of
the UK anymore, and what are they that got to
be their own country.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, they're gonna call it.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They have voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from the UK.
In a fight against the British government, they said, we
will not take your asylum seekers here. We're not part
of your country. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So what if twelve hundred people just try to move
in on the two hundred and something that are already there,
They're going to be way out numbered.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, they say they're now a sovereign nation, So I
guess they could take up arms. You know, it's England
where nobody has any guns. But now since they're not
part of England anymore, I guess they could get some guns.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Or a nuclear weapon. You know, Trump ain't told him
they can't have one yet. Maybe they could start building.
They just still working on that right away.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Since they are now a marginalized country, maybe we could
provide them with some of our old guns that were
not using anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Seems like you know better than you know just throwing
them away. You know, that's a waste.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know, I don't need all my guns. You know
you have guns, where do you keep them?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
There?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The sun? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Ever since Trump won election, I found them in that
creek where I lost him.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Dug them up out of the mud at the bottom
of the creek.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, exactly, that boating acts it was a kayak accident.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, well you shouldn't. You shouldn't have loaded up
with so many guns. Good point.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, probably tipped you over right there. Q and news
story today from North Carolina. A four year old boy
named Roman has a lot going against him. His dad split,
he has a super unfortunate last name, Bolt's laugh, Roman
bolts laugh, and his mom is the only family he's got.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But Roman hasn't let that get him down. But it'd
be cool if his name was a Roman noodles or numeral.
That'd be where Edward too. Hey, hey, rote Romen, I
mean Roman, get over here. Yeah, it feels like you're
making fun of him.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
But since his dad cut out on him, I guess
changing his last name is not the worst idea.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
No, and that's just to make him tougher. You know,
you grow up without a dad, you gotta be tough.
You can get by daddy ain't gonna be there for you.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well, with all the problems this young man has, he's
still decided he's not going to let him get it down.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
According to a new report from CBS Evening News, Roman
goes outside and waves hello to all of the neighbors
in his town.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh okay.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Not many kids crave connection more than this four year
old named Roman passed by his house and conquered North Carolina,
and he will surely greet you with a wave and
a hey.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I want to drive that by that house.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It is adorable. But uh boy, I hate to be
the one to cast negativity.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
On angle Castle spursions.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
If your four year old is standing out in front
of your house talking to strangers all day, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'll just stop right there. I'm not even gonna I
won't even say what we're all thinking. Well, in the
big city, you know, that would have been looked at
as bad parenting. But in a small a town like that,
where everybody knows everybody, you know, there's there's there's no
crime to worry about, right. He seems like a nice kid.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I hate to think there'd be weirdos out there, but
from what I can tell nowadays, there are weirdos everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
There are so many weirdos. I mean, I don't mean
there's bad I'm sortainly. I think kid's cute, and it's
Grady's out there, you know, making friends and everything, and
everybody seems to be enjoying seeing him. But every time
he waves his arm like that and says, hey, I
just see Forrest Gump. I Lieutenant Dan. You remember when
he waved addy like that and then he jumped off
(06:46):
his boat to go swim to shore.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, it does kind of remind me of Lieutenant Dan
a little bit or of Forrest Gump. And that was
a great movie. So that's quite the compliment for this
young fella. You know, that's as great of the film
as that is. This kid's for you years old. I mean,
this kid probably thinks that movie is like, really really old.
He's never even heard of it. Yeah, he's never gonna
watch that, No, right, why would he. He's too busy
watching an AI rendition of Rocky. He's too busy watching
(07:11):
a movie about the making of Rocky.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I can't wait to see the movie about the people
that are making a movie about the people that wanted
to make a movie. It's gonna be amazing. Do you
just Hollywood just kind of pat themselves on the on
the butt?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Do you guys understand the appeal. It's a movie about
the making of a movie. Why do we need that.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't know. Nobody seems to have an answer for now. Yeah,
they're doing it. Holly would do well. They don't have
any other ideas. I mean, somebody came up with this
idea and they were like, that's all we got. Go
with it. All right, here's my idea.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's a radio show where we discussed the creation of
the Walton and Johnson Show. That's all the show's about.
We just it's not hosted by the Walton and Johnson cast. Instead,
we get some other guys and they just talk about
Walton and Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You know, there was John, there was Steve, there.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Was Billy d. Eventually Kenny came along. That's the show. Well, uh,
that's it now, that's the whole show. Sure, well what
about you? And then a lot of people call in
about me. Sure they'd bring that up. Yeah, we might
mention you, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And then once in a while they take calls and
then someone calls in they go, oh, you know, I
miss old Man's stories and everyone's like.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
What was that. Oh, it was like it was a
long time ago. No, but don't worry about it. And yeah,
it's gonna be a long movie. Why don't you guys
do the movie Guy anymore? Whatever? Ninja dude, Yeah, the
movie Ninja Ninja? Yeah, yeah, what happened to it? I
don't know. I don't know why you keep asking me.
I wasn't there. Time keeps moving on. Time is like
(08:48):
a slow moving river that runs underneath all of our lives,
and slowly but surely it just washes away little bits
and pieces of us until one day we're gone.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And then as you're enjoying the podcast, there could be
a montage of the making of the radio show.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Oh that's gonna be awesome, where.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You see John setting up a radio studio, and then.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Close ups of people just like drinking coffee and trying
to wake up, looking all sleepy and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Billy had going to get a bagel be the worst
montage I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
This montage sucks. Billy hads to do that thing where
he sticks the screwdriver into the electric stuff and the
sparks fly everywhere, and then it gets dark. That happened
one time, two times, like I'm still getting called out
for it. Billy had it happened two times this month.
Well that's what I mean. I thought we have to
pass the bill so that you can find out what
is in it. I've fallen and I can get out
(09:45):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network. Well why is that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, it used to be i'd get to know back
in my younger years because I was getting into trouble.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh huh. But now it's changed a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Because you're a spokesman, a champion for the call you
will I will tell you for the rest of my life,
I will be an advocate for victims' rights. I've learned
a lot over the last year and a half or
so about.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
What it's like to be a victim of a crime,
working with different people, victims' rights groups and stuff like that,
and so I just have a soft spot for law
enforcement now because I know what these guys have to
deal with to get.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Their job done, including that guy in that song right there,
he's a high weblotron.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm going to take a position here on a news
story that's a little different than what everyone else in
the media is taking, and I'll admit I don't know
the whole full story yet. I'm curious there's a New
Orleans police detective. The guy's name's Chad Cockerham. Huh, Chad Cockerham.
That's a guy's name, and he is a detective, and
people are upset because he got one hundred and fifty
(10:44):
seven thousand dollars last year.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Is stary.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh, he got paid right, okay, And he says the
reason he got paid that much was because he was
doing one hundred hours a week working overtime. The man's
basically living at the police station like it's episode of
the Wire.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
He's doing time and a half off his regular time.
That's what he's doing, the forty and then he's doing
another forty, and then he's doing a lot more.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Now in New Orleans, the local media there loves to
tell you the police are bad guys.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm not buying it. Again. I'll admit I don't know
the whole story.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Part of the reason I wanted to bring this up
on the air, I wanted to see if our listeners
in New Orleans knew anything about it. But he was
one of the highest overtime earners in the department, and
now people are going after him. He's in the hot
seat as the NOPD inspector is digging into his timekeeping practices,
but he's being transparent about it. Yeah, members of the
(11:39):
media have reached out to him, he's doing interviews. I
don't know if he did anything wrong or not. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You'll hear stories every day in the news about these
politicians and their fraud and their schemes and their tax
evasion and all the other. And they're giving themselves a
raise and making money for the rest of their lives
if they just put four five years worth of service
in And that's all acceptable. But a cop out there
actually working more than twice as much as the average
(12:08):
man on his forty hour a week shift, and we're
supposed to be upset with him because he earned it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't know. That's the thing. He's in trouble now.
He's been called out for it. Yeah, exactly. Apparently they've
let him go. They said veteran NOPD detective. The guy
had been there for a long time, and they said
he can't work here anymore. He had too much overtime.
I don't know what the whole story is. I'm curious,
but I got to tell you some guy that was
spending one hundred hours a week trying to investigate crimes,
(12:37):
doing an extra Yeah, no, it's possibly lied.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I don't know. Yeah, but we don't know. But it
doesn't sound right at the on the surface.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
But when the media tries to make a cop sound
like a bad guy, immediately yeah, and then and they
explain why, it's like, well, he was earning a lot
of money working overtime. My first instinct is, hang on,
I don't know. Again, maybe he's lying. Maybe it was
one hundred hours a week eating donuts and doing nothing
just to fill the forum out and then just turn it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And I doubt it though, But.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
If any of our out if any of our listeners
in New Orleans have some insight into this, I'd love
to know what it is. I will say this, over
the last couple of years, the last few years, crime
in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Really gone down.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I noticed there's less homeless people there, and a lot
of it has happened since mister Landry took over the
Governor's off I.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Did notice that as well.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, sure, I know that's not a popular position to
take that someone in a government might be might be
doing their job right.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Something, doing something to help instead of just help themselves.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know how when you'd see someone just once in
a while, you could tell when they've lost weight.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But if you see them every day, you hardly notice.
You don't notice. Right. We go to New Orleans once
a few times a year, right enough, you know, to
where when we see things there happening, and we notice.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And I'm in my mid forties, I've been I've been
doing that since I was in my twenties when I
first started working for this show. So I just noticed
it changed little. The homeless people, the vagrants, the crime.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I'm not saying you should walk around on Bourbon Street
at two in the morning with your purse open, but
things are different now. I just think it used to
be worse than it is now. And I mean noticeably
worse and or noticeably better now, depending on.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
How you describe it. Whichever way you want to look Yeah,
whichever way you want to look at Turn it around
and look at it from the positive side. Yeah, me too, Well,
good for you. Yeah. On a separate subject, yesterday, a
lot of people were very upset that they weren't going
to get According to the news, they weren't going to
get a vote in the Senate about that daylight saving
time thing, and we ought to stop doing it, okay,
(14:38):
and some people don't think, you know, we should, and
some people think we have to. And then they say, well,
I don't think one man in the in the Senate
ought to be able to stop the entire nation from
getting what they want. And he his only reason was
apparently the kids would be at a school bus, some
of them in the dark. And we had an em
(15:00):
from a guy here, Tom in Georgia, who says, maybe
more of the kids these days need to be standing
out in the in the dark, waiting on the bus.
He said, when I first started listening to y'all show,
I was thirteen. It was seventeen years ago. I was
standing in the dark at the bus stop. Okay, me
(15:21):
to my dad had dropped me off on his way
to work. That's how he grew up to be a
good ten percent of a tough son of a gun. Okay,
don't take crap off nobody. Okay, was that way for
me too growing up.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
But while we're on this topic, because I got a
lot to say about this, Tom Cotton doesn't like changing
daylight savings time, he says, because he doesn't want kids
standing out there in the dark. He says, at that
particular time of the day, it would be too dark outside. Now,
what if, and I know this is going to sound crazy,
what if you just started school an hour later?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
If we move the clock one hour forward, start school
one hour for problem.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Solved, understand that it's still the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's all right, So before it would have been nine o'clock,
now it's ten o'clock or what. Okay, I get that
what it says on the clock is different, but the
sun is still in the same place in the sky.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah. Right, it's still the same time of day. It's
signed a different number to it. Thank you. Is this
gonna go This is gonna confuse people.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Of course, back in the nineteen seventies, we tried this
and people didn't like it. The Dick Nixon decided to
experiment with year round daylight saving time. The idea was
to save energy by having more evening sunlights so people
would use less electricity for lights and heating. Dick signed
the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act in nineteen
(16:46):
seventy three. It kicked in January sixth, nineteen seventy four,
and within a year, everyone hated it and they undid it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Initial public support was high, people liked the extra evening
light in theory, but reality hit hard. In the winter,
kids were waiting for school buses and pitch black darkness,
and it's almost like people were too stupid to realize
you could start school an hour later.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You could. You don't have to do it. It would have
still it would still be the same time. You know,
either get it or you don't. At this point, you
got to stop explaining it to people. The airports are
the other people that die. The airlines don't like it
because theoretically they'd have to go and reschedule all the
flights and stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
There'd be planes landing at times when other planes would
be landing, And okay, so it'll cost the airlines a
little bit of money.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Once one time. Just get somebody into learned code, is
what I always say.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Learn the code, bro. It's not like you're gonna have
to keep doing that. Do they not get that?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
How do they deal with it when we do it
twice a year, Well, they've already they've been doing it
that way for so long. It's already they can change it.
It was different before, and it'll be different again. And
yet they still manage to get it done. I know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Anyway, h Taylor Swift made her first public appearance with
her new wedding ring.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's news. That is exciting news. Did we get a
good close up picture because I know the ladies always
want to see the ring? It is a pretty big ring.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I haven't seen a rock that big since Lamar odoms
crack pipe.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's pretty serious.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
There was a big rock. Yeah, boy, they really yeah,
but unfortunately couldn't smoke it. Sorry about that. Lamar was
very disappointed when you found out the news. We've learned
a lot about soccer during the World Cup. Matches were
not games matches. You can use some of that nohow
for your doomed relationship too, I'm told, did you know that?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
You're convinced your relationship has reached stoppage time, but breaking
up is hard. When it's time to send them off,
call Red Card Relationship Services. Our trained relationship referees will
come to your apartment, blow the whistles, show them the
red card, point dramatically toward the door, and send your
partner off the pitch. That's of baggage, commitment, stalling, replying
(19:03):
to every text with a letter K, and if they
argue the call, we'll go to var and review footage.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
If every time they insisted I'm fine, I'm fine, the
ruling on the field is emotional incompatibility. The ruling stands
this breakup.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Don't ghost them, send them off with red card relationship services.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Listening to the Walton and Johnson Network featuring Steve Johnson
and Kenny Webster.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A handsome guy, by the way. I didn't It's usually
not my thing, but he is a good looking shucker.
You must be the new guy.
