Speaker 1 (00:00):
Male or female vocalist.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you had to guess, it's not for us to
assign a gender to anyone. Kenny, that's a nineteen hundred's
way of thinking. I'm gonna get with the two thousands.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
This band is out on tour right now.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
This is the Alabama Shaks, or they just called Alabama Shaks,
and the lead vocalist is a female.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
But she loves Prince, so she sings like Prince.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay, does she say an English words or just not
catching what she's putting out there?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
No, it's in English. I'm sure it's in English what
she's saying. Here we are the most unusual circumstances. Are
you reading it's on the screen here? But are you
hearing her say that? No, I'm hearing a gay guy.
Ask me what she's saying. You can't hear it over me? No,
I can't. You're talking. I'm not listening to it. It's
(00:48):
not a music show. It's not the first time you've
ever heard the song. Is it all right? Let's listen
to it again? It is. This just came out. This
is brand new music. They're on tour right now.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
They're in Austin on Thursday on Friday there here in Houston,
and yes, this is uh, this is the first time
I'm hearing the song because this sat album just came
out this week.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Get his uh starting to practicing on our audios here,
just breaking something right new?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
All right, here's the lyrics. Can you understand here?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
We are.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The most the most unusual circumstances. If you weren't reading it,
you wouldn't know what she's saying. No, but Brian, you
know who's you.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Once you've read it, then you hear it, and then
you're like, oh, yeah, that sounds right. But to me
it sounded like him alias me.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Brian Eno, who is famous for producing YouTube and talking heads,
has made the point before.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He's in charge of YouTube.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
No YouTube, there's a band has made the point before
that lyrics don't really matter as long as they don't
make the song worse. And he's kind of got a
point there. You know, lyrics, they don't matter. You ever
listening to think about the lyrics in your favorite song
and then think about how I want to if the
lyrics were slightly different, it'd still be the same song.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Right how you.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Figure Let's say there's a song about bears and you
change with the lyrics and now it's still a song
about bears.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
It's just the tiger and necessities that make human. Right now,
it's just a song about tigers.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Does it change it?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That might not really, Yeah, because it used to be
about bears. Think you're missing the bigger picture here. Bears
are cool, man, I mean, bears are calling now, you
old slue foot. I know you know the old old
slu Foot song Loo quinta Mountains. Tell me what you see?
Bear track, bear tracks looking back on me. You better
get a riffle before study eat the bear got a
little piggies hit it through the gate, you big around
(02:38):
the middle Brook. You're looking at me like this is
the first time you've ever heard it. I've never heard
that song running nine of miles an hour, making thirty
feet of jump, never been caught, never been treed.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
No, I've never said it look a lot like me
never heard it before bell. Yeah, that's a thing that
I wish I hadn't heard it.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Now. I do enjoy bears, but I was a hit song.
Okay Belly, Yeah, I do enjoy bears, but I am
gay for.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Space for space, the wolves in space for space. Then
the Russians already do that.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The Russians, well, the Russians are bears, you know, they
just they just call them Russian bears. All right, This
Gay for Space Report is proudly brought to you by Luckily.
We have a sponsor set up for this. It's called
Silver Slipper Casino and hotel and restaurant bars, swimming hole.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You know, all that goods done.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
They got a swimming hole to actually, if you want
to pull our gulf to TVs in the rooms, that's
an awesome fancy really fancy showers, indoor toilets and everything.
But they do not have a bear. Well unless you
get them a bear, well, I mean it wouldn't hurt. Okay,
it's time to get gay for Space, ladies and gentlemen.
What they need at the gorilla silver slippers? Silver back man,
(03:50):
where you got these? It is silver back because it's
a slipper. It is not the worst idea you've ever had, huh,
And it could be like Mike the Tiger.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We just put them in an enclosure and everybody that
goes to the Silver Slipper gets to see the silver back.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And then what animal rights activists get pissed about? It
is a even better. Yeah. Actually that does kind of
make it better, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Okay, we have exciting news from Webster, Texas, which, as
you know, is a town that's named after me, of course,
because you're so gay. One of my favorite things about
waiting in line at the Johnson's Space Center is there
is a TV where they show you ats for local
businesses and it says Webster, Texas is the restaurant capital
of the region, and then they show you the region.
(04:35):
Then they say Chili's Applebee's Sizzler. I don't know if
they have a sizzler. I don't know, but it's that
kind of thing. Anyway, while you're there, you may want
to go meet the new astronauts. There's ten of them,
men and women, because we only have two things now. Yeah,
the next generation of American astronauts have been introduced at
the as the intrepid spacefarers who could be part of
(04:56):
a landmark nasubmission back to the Moon and eventually to
mar Which.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
One he's ten do you think is gonna be the
one to step down that ladder first and do the
whole You know, Neil, what's his name's you know, a
step foot of this or that, a jump.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
A leap here we are boom back to the moon. Well,
that's the thing. We don't know their names yet, so
we can't really make that prediction. But we do know
Sean Duffy, NASA's acting administrator. He just put out a
statement saying the men and women will help unlock the
golden age of exploration. He said he is honored to
welcome the next generation of American explorers to our agency.
The ten men and women sitting here today embody the
(05:32):
truth that in America, regardless of where you start, there
is no limit to where a determined dreamer can achieve.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Even going to spur.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
About that, huh yeah, And they all went on the
cool blue jumpsuits. Dude, NASA's so cool. It's the least
libertarian thing about me. I really enjoy NASAU. You should, Yeah,
I'm happy for you. All right, So let's learn a
little bit about him. There's Ben Bailey, aged thirty eight,
of Charlottesville, Virginia, and he's in the Army. Lauren Edgar,
she's forty, she'll be making sandwiches. Then there's Adam Humer,
(06:04):
he's thirty five. He was in the Air Force. Cameron Jones,
aged thirty five, also from the Air Force. Yuri Kubo,
age forty, previously a SpaceX employee. Rebecca Lawler, she'll be
in charge of sewing together the outfits. Anna Menin. She's
going to make sure that everybody had a good night's rest.
Who's going to clean the place up? Well, that'd be
a Melda Mueller. Oh not Amelda No, Oh, that was
(06:25):
too too mean. All right, Aaron overcash. Would you guess
Aaron with an air and Aaron with an E E
you'd be correct. And she's going to be the nurse.
And Catherine Spies age forty three of San Diego. She
is what I would describe as the eye candy of
the team.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Let me let me take a look at this one
here and.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Together they make five new astronauts and five future moms.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Isn't that amazing? How exciting for all of them?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They'll take todlem all lady, no, no, no, do not
let you know if you just beg you might get
knocked up.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
What if space is what causes autism?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know, by the way, we every time we mentioned
that time all the thing we should mention that the
the maker of Thailand all vehemently disagrees with the whole
autism thing.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So I'm just, you know, put that out there. Yeah. Shocking.
It's kind of like when you know, somebody investigates.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Themselves for wrongdoing, sure, and then they, after investigating themselves thoroughly,
have come to the conclusion they did nothing wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, obviously you trust the pharmaceutical industry.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, why would they lie? They've been so honest in
the past. I know when have I don't see it.
When have they ever misled us on anything?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Never ever. I feel like we don't get enough good
news on this show. Would you agree with that? Well,
we just had the good astronaut news, got new astronauts.
That's considered good news. I really enjoyed that. I wish
we had more of that on the show. I just
think that's fun, you know, makes you feel good. You'll
tell NASA to get ten more ready, No, I mean five?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
We don't want to make the news good. We just
want it to be good. Yeah, we just want the
news to be good on its own. Isn't that possible?
All right?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
More excerpts from that Kama Harris book, The One hundred
and Seven Days Whatever, it's called yesterday, we were talking
about the fact that she, you know, was a homophobe
because she didn't want gay mayor Pete to be your
running mate. Yeah, today, she would have you believe, because
of the experts that they're choosing to release from the book,
(08:25):
she would have you believe that she was so dynamic
and powerful in her role as vice president that she
should have put a stop to Biden even announcing that
he was going to run for reelection. She way back
when it first came up. She would have you believe
(08:46):
that she should have and could have told Biden, no,
you're not running for reelection. You're told you're too you know,
brain whatever, adult step aside, But she did. You know,
she's a nice person, have you believe? And so yeah,
that's that's our claim to fame today. Apparently in this
(09:07):
new book she rips everybody apart in the Democrat Party, JB. Pritzker,
Gavin Newsom, of course Joe Biden. She's mad that during
her only debate, right before the debate, Joe called her
and he talked about himself. But in his defense, do
you think he even remembers why he called her while
the phone was ringing?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He probably don't know who he was talking to. Yesterday,
Kamala sat down with Rachel Maddow or that Chris guy.
We don't know which one it is.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
They look exactly the same, and apparently Rachel is just
terrified over Trump designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. She
likes when people loot and riot in downtown.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Portland, of course she does.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
So she told this to Kamala, and Kamala responded with
a totally incoherent.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Answer, which is, we've also now in an executive order
today having we've got the President describing Antifa the anti
fascist it's not even a really a movement, the anti
fascist tactics of a portion of the protest movement as
a domestic terrorist organization. What is your reaction to those things?
(10:04):
What do you think the appropriate responses to things like that?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Now, before she answers, I always enjoy watching an interview
like this because Rachel is basically hinting at Kamala and
how the audience wants her to feel about it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
She's leading her towards the proper response here. She doesn't
know Kamala Harris very well. Right, this is MSNBC on CNN.
They're like you know, we're on the left. On CNN,
they are liberal. They don't really like Antifa, but they
don't love them. But this is MSNBC where our audience
is straight up an Antifa. Wink wink, Kamala, what do
you think about it?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Well, in normal times, we should and could expect that
our courts would step in when when asked to declare
the legality.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Or illegality of what the.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
President is doing, because you know, civics one oh one.
We all know we've designed our democracy the three co
equal branches of government, the executive, legislative and there and
the court the.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Other one.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
In the courts in normal times, I know exactly she's
a lawyer, the other one. It's kind of like when
Rick Perry couldn't name all three things he wanted to name.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Is she mad that the government isn't going to stop
Trump from stopping people from rioting in Austin, Texas and Seattle?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Is that what she's mad about? Seems that way?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Wow, what an odd position to take.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Whatever Trump does, you're against, even if he's doing something
that's objectively good.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Passed the title and all over to Kamala there, tell
her to gulp it down. Yum yum.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
This is Vice President Kamala Harris and you're listening to
the Wanton Johnson Radio Network with Steve Johnson and Kenny Webster.
I like this fun radio show because it's a show
that's on the radio and it's fun.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
What's the card of the game, Walton and Johnson elear. Well,
it couldn't have been later because we haven't got the
later yet.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But on the show this morning, we were talking about
games we played when he was kids, and you brought
up the smear of the queer mall ball, kill the
man with the ball, whatever it's called. And then Tom,
who must have grown up a little further north of us,
Well you would have known about this too, he said.
Best playground games happened with snow. Snowball fights NonStop. We'd
(12:32):
often having full teams playing each other. And then there
was King of the Mountain. Once the snowplows made a
pile about eight feet tall that was going to be
there all winter long. Okay, snowball fights were brutal. They
included ice balls. Given your opponent a face wash?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
What a face wash? Oh that never mind? Yeah, you
take there. What did you think it man.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I also remember playing with pinwheels on a stick. Like
we talked about her. My grandma used to buy us
those commonly. And this is where me and Tom we
must have grown up like brothers from another mother, he said.
My My most common toy when I was a kid
was a stick. I would find one in the woods
and the next thing, you know, because back in those
(13:18):
days kids had imagination. Sure we didn't have to video
games and see, you know, all that kind of stuff.
We'd take a stick and then it would be a
rifle or a bazooka or a samurai sword, and well,
we just have the best fun with a stick. I
got a stick for Christmas two years running. You got
(13:39):
a stick for Christmas. Yeah, it was one of the
best Christmases. Well, two of the best Christmases ever. Of course,
that's fact when when you know, the Hatfields was going
through a rough patch back in the day, and uh,
you know, we we ate dirt for Christmas dinner and
we were happy to have it. You ate, we were
happy to have it. I think you're making that up.
Some people got gravel. I don't believe it, and you know,
I mean it's bad enough swallowing it but boy, when
(14:01):
it comes out, I mean, who into that comode.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It's like Chilula when you build up her resistance.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
The thing I don't get is I think sticks are
still a thing, right, I think kids there are still sticks,
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No, I mean I think there's still.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Like a type of kid out there that goes out
to the woods finds a cool stick. Because I go
to the park a lot. You know this is anecdotal,
But do you often stop and pick up a cool stick?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
No, but once in a while, when I'm running around
the park, which is every fricking day of my life,
I run at least a few miles, I see families
of people, and I always see a kid with a stick.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I just see him there. You know, it's like, oh,
he's got a stick. You know these days they're threatening
you with it though they'll take your wallet. Well, I
gave him the wallet. I didn't want any trouble.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, yeah, because his family's there. Last thing you need
is for them to come over and start trouble.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Plus, you know that kid's just getting started out. I
didn't want to make him think. You know, he wasn't
good at mugging people.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, last thing you need is he gets a complex
when he's young like that, they'll never be the same.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I'd feel bad if he didn't grow up to be
good at his job. All Right, Taylor Swift's got a
new out, Them Out, and a new movie, Wife of
a Showgirl. It's called It comes out on October third,
and to hide time the movie comes out, right, the
movie promotes it be still my beating heart.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh my god. I can't wait for the Taylor's new film.
It's a project. You know, how old is she know?
Taylor's sweating thirty five?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I'm guessing.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I mean you noticed in Life of a Showgirl it's
I saw the album cover. Now, I don't normally care
about this, but it's the first time she's ever tried
to be sexy, and I mean ever, Like, I've never
seen Taylor Swift try to be sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Is she torking? Look at she's wearing a Of course
she's not. She doesn't have anything to tork with.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
No, she's got a bra, she's wearing a thong. She
wearing panties, right, that's her thing, and that's on the
cover of the album. There, She's never done this before.
Look at her there and now she's in a bejeweled
bikini or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Are they telling her?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That is the popularity dwindling, and now she's got a
horrid up a little what's going on exactly?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Probably? Is that what you think happened?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, look what happened to Britney Spears. I can remember
this a long time ago. But oh, she's thirty five?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I guessed good, Yeah, you nailed it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
She'll she'll be her birthdays just you know, December, just
a couple of months away now, so she'll be thirty six.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
You were crackt you nailed it, which is probably now
what Travis Kelsey's going to be doing.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And also I didn't nail Taylor Swift. No, but what
were we talking about that? Taylor Swift's got a new
album and it's a cat's a cash grab. I mean
that's what it is. It's a movie and an album
and all that one. Did you think?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
And they claim she made the album while she was
on tour. Do you believe that that someone on tour
is making an album? Well, somebody made it for her.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
She did it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
She just went out and did her show and they
recorded it and then they turned it into an album.
Does Stephen King write his books used to. I don't
know about now, probably AI now, or they've got ghost writers.
Yeah again, he's mentally. I think he may be worse
off than Biden. I would assume that she's got ghost writers.
Probably a lot of famous rappers after they blow up
(16:57):
and they're out and doing tours and stuff like that,
they hire rappers who haven't made it yet to write
lyrics for them so they could keep cranking out music.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Uh huh, And I gotta think she's doing that. Do
you think they haven't figured out that the pressures formula
they can just fall back on. You know, anybody can
do it. As long as they put Taylor's name on it,
it's gonna sell.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Now. Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Her name is Taylor, like Bob, a show girl with
streaming bundles everywhere and exclusive merch to snare.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
She posts the trailer guy to hide the drama guy.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Swifty's pack online shopping cards, taxing out their credit cards.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
New at least she scores called that a cash encore.
Just cold end it right there. It should be.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I remember what we were talking about. Now, The same
thing happened with Britney spears. A long time ago, Brittany
was this wholesome teenage girl that moms were happy to
let their daughters emulate, let them, you know, watch her,
you know movies, TV show those, all that kind of stuff.
And then somewhere along the way and you know that
(18:05):
whole oops, I did it again and all this kind
of stuff, they decided to turn Brittany into, you know,
the sexy Brittany and not the pure wholesome Brittany of
young so and of course it worked sex cells always has,
always will and they're now they're thinking, well, you know,
Taylor's got all her regular fans.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Now let's go do the sex sells thing and sex
her up.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Brittany was a child star, but then as soon as
it was time for her to be a solo artist,
I think before she was even really twenty one, they
were already putting her in the scantily client outfits yew.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
When she was a teenager.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Other other teenage girls were, you know, happy to emulate her.
And then your parents were like, okay, not now, no,
early Britney, sure don't don't not like her?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Now?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Why isn't Rolling Stone ever held responsible for that? They
had a photo of Britney Spears wearing a very sweaty
outfit on the cover of their Magaze.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
How old was she then?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Pretty like eighteen, but she was holding a teletubby. They
clearly tried to make her look younger, but then they
sexualized her.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
This is the same music magazine Music. This is the
same magazine that put the Boston bomber, the Boston Marathon
bomber on the cover.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It's just a waste of dead trees, isn't it? Speaking
of when we were making Christmas trees out of Reader's Digest?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Was that irony?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well, we took the tree, turned it into paper, turned
it into a magazine, and then folded all the pages
of the magazine and turned it back into a tree.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Wow. What h It never occurred to me when I
was a child doing that. Just how ironic that is?
It is?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I had only one question about what you just said.
What the hill is a irony? And what is Reader's Digest?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
That too?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
If it chick sleeps with ten dudes, she's a slot.
But when a go I does it, he is guy.
He's definitely guy. Walton and Johnson Radio Network
