Speaker 1 (00:00):
Huh Apollo. Twelve November nineteen sixty nine, Bugle calls Boatswain's
pipe the Yankee Clipper chorus. The second time around, it
was all nautical military themes. Many crew had Navy backgrounds,
but they also played this. I heard baseball. Yeah, I
think this was the Yankee Clipper. It was Joe Demagio.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't get it. Marilyn Monroe's husband.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, this was an old song at the time. It's
really old now. Well, yeah, Jolton Joe Demagio, he said,
you know what they ought to do. They ought to
have Joe Demagio is real popular. We ought to have
him record a song.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, and he sounded pretty good, I thought, compared compared
to what he didn't do bad.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I'm glad you've got unusual music on your theme this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Now, not that the theme is wake up Astronauts songs. Yeah,
he's right, Well, not usual, but there's such a little unusual.
None of the songs are well, it's like, you know, Coldplay.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I didn't take umbrage with what you said, but I
do like when Billy ed correct you, even if I
didn't have a problem with it. Yeah, yeah, Well, what
he said. Yeah exactly, Well you just enjoy that. Why
what were you going to say?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I think, y'all I'll have kay dyes, Okay, what Kenneth,
Mister Kenneth's arrangement syndrome? It seems that way. You know what,
you all like to pick on me all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You know you're right? Yeah, and I'm not ashamed of it. Yeah, no, sure, anyway,
what were you going to say, mister Kenneth? I have
no idea how all the thoughts in my head were
just sucked out by the vacuum that you all stupidity
created around me. Something about coldplay or something like that.
Oh no, the songs you're playing are unusual. Let's face it,
it's not the typical Walton Johnson. You know, wait songs,
(01:38):
not wake up songs. Obviously we wake up before we
get here, but we were here to wake everybody else up.
I guess I'll allow it. That's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So I'm just enjoying the theme. No matter what you
want to call it. It's a good.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But since we are talking about music and unusual songs
and musicians, I go ahead and break the sad news
to you now, because I know it's gonna hurt little bit,
brace yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Okay, all right, socker to me. What do you got
for us, mister Kenneth celebrity death? Hold on, it's not
a died suddenly, is it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
No? No, just a celebrity that died. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I think he lingered, got it? Africa Bumbaba?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Really? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
See, I know you're a little stunned. You're a little surprised.
He was only sixty seven, but he had cancer and cancer.
Don't care how old you are. Okay, So, Africa Bombada
has passed away of cancer.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
This is some guy you know.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, he was kind of one of the godfathers of
hip hop. He was a DJ and a rapper and
I think he was from a group called the Soulsonic Force,
Is that right or something like that? Oh, the Uzulu Nation,
that's what he was.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You may have stepped out of what we might consider
our zone of knowledge here.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, it's his old stuff. I mean, this was back
in the seventies and eighties. If this all went down.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Uh huh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I don't think have an afric and Mombata song in
in you know my inventory?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
If you will.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You never heard this before? A planet rock, like in
a movie or something you've never heard that. It famously
sampled Craftworks trans Europe Express a Bird something like that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'd think i'd probably just you know, reach over and
turn it down. Yeah, she's me, Well you probably did. Yeah,
everybody liked something different.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Well, back in the day, this was really cutting edge
and to me it sounds old, but at the time
it sounded very new.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And now I'm sure his sales will skyrocket. It happens
when every major celebrity musician, you know it passes on,
they go out and they buy up their records.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, or you know, a movie star whatever, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Robert Devall passed away recently and people all started going
out and watching Lonesome Dove again. It got to be
number one on and it's how old, you know, like
forty years old or close to it, and number one
on the streaming last week.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Back in the in the mid eighties Africa, Bumbada teamed
up with Joey ramon Run DMC, You Two, lou Reid, Little,
Stephen van zandt Wow, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, ub forty Boy,
George and some other artists I never heard of.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So they could go fight apartheid and how did that
work out for him?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Well, they ended up freeing Nelson Mandela, so I think
it worked, although I don't know that they're doing music
really had much to do with it.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
When you say fight aparthid, does that mean like mouth
off about it or you know, let's hit the jungles
or where the sand or whatever they got and start
taking out the enemy.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I know it's.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Weird to think, but just by saying the word jungle
in that sentence, you did a racism.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I think, Well, it was in Africa, right, Africa's got jungles.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You said it was in Africa.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
See, technically, I think you're right and you did nothing wrong,
but still racism for some reason.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well you never know.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I know it's complicated. I don't get it either, Billy.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I know, since we're on the sub I'll go ahead
and really and this is gonna upset some people.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
A lot of our listeners people have loved to get upset,
so you should do it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, And they had no idea they were racist until
a TikTok influencer told them they are.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, because they have grass. Lawns can't be right.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
No, no grass lawns signify white supremacy and they are racist.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So in the astronome, which we discussed yesterday, moved from
the grass to actual astro turf, artificial grass artific that
was less racist, less, but it was implying white supremacy
without actually having real grass. So it was fake white supremacy.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Hmmm. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But the TikToker influencer, you know, one of these idiot
gals that thinks this is a this is the way
to make a living, or something like this. She she
just wanted to come right out and tell you that
she's not black. You know, she's She's very white and
liberal and probably has one of them noserings. I don't
know if she was wearing it in a TikTok or not,
(06:06):
but yeah, it's it's racist.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Great news for me because now that I got this information,
I just realized my dog is not racist.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
House boy.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He goes to the bathroom almost exclusively on astro turf.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We live in the city. That's smart.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
When we're at the airport and they have the pet
relief stations of the astro turf, I noticed there's always
dogs in there that are confused. And when I walk
Milton in, he gets it because he's Yeah, he's the
old school astro turf dog. He understands. And I didn't
even realize at the time that when he was doing that,
he was actually being woke and inclusive. I just thought
he was relieving himself on astro turf. He's trying to
(06:40):
teach you not to be a white supremacist.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, if you keep taking him out to lawns with
real grass, then you're not doing him any favors, are you. Well,
since you brought it up to her, are we supposed
to let the lawns turn into weeds, let let the
look you know, like, don't mow it?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Or is it the fact that it is created at
all as bad? I don't know, Actually, mister Kenneth's right,
I am jumping to conclusions here. You said that grass
is racist. Long you didn't say that astro turf's not racist.
But it's the lawn part of it. Now grass, I
guess if it had weeds and clover growing all in it,
like sure, and it'll take over a yard. Actually, this
(07:19):
should probably be pretty good for me too, because I
do spend a lot of time, you know, mowing uh,
you got an excuse now not to do it, but then.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
The sales of zero turns would probably go down and
we can't have that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And don't you kind of love to mow your lawn?
I mean, it's not just a chorer for you, Right,
you get into it. You got a zero turn Yeah,
he loves doing it. Yeah, he's what. Well, since you
brought up racism, I got something to offer it everybody.
And it involves people eating snacks in Alabama.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, here I grab it. That'd be fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
SB fifty seven is a bill in Alabama that's very
similar to another bill that just passed in the state
where our flagship's at TXAS.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And what it says is you cannot use your snap
food benefits, your your you know, welfare, well food stamps.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But yeah, it's now that's a racist term. Welfare.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, it says you can't use it to get stuff
like Oreos, Doritos, Skittles.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Energy drinks.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You've got to buy actual produce and frozen chicken and
flour and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Huh. Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't take welfare myself, never have, never will, But
for those that do, are they upset?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Is just upsetting what.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Not only is it upsetting, it's also racist. It is racist.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I didn't know that it was mentioned in the story,
but I could just tell you immediately it's racist.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
There is a lawmaker in the state of Alabama name
Juandolin Gavon.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I'm you know, am I saying it right? Who knows?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Probably not?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But anyway, Jewondolin has pointed out here that this is racist,
and you're probably wondering why. She says that, Actually, this
is clearly an attack on black people. She says, y'all
could care less about poor little black kids in the community,
or he I don't just need the doritos. Jwondolin might
(09:11):
be a man. I don't actually know. There's no way
to tell. And it says here you ain't had it
hard because you never woke up black. Now I never
have woken up black so far, but I have woken
up white trash. And I'm pretty sure when you're white
trash or black or whatever it is you are.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You need food to live. You don't need oreos.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Now, if I had come out and said this is racist,
then that would have been racist of me, because I'm
implying that only black people get government assistance or welfare
or snap or whatever they call it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Where you live, they got different words for it, but
it's all the same thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's you don't have to work, I'll work, and I'll
pay you to not work.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's how that works.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So if I implied that everybody on welfare was black,
that would be racist of me. But since she's black,
she can say it and it's still racist on me.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's puzzling, ain't it. It's confusing.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
You also happened to know for a fact because statistics,
while being racist, don't actually lie. There are way more
white people on welfare right now in this country than
there are black people on welfare.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
In terms of total numbers, but not in terms of
per capital.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Oh, now you're going back to racism again. Why it's
okay here, capita is racist.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well, I'll make I'll make it up to the community
right now with a fun song.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm sure this will make everything. Better to sue the
lost than to know.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I got a.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Book to see.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I too buff to make boats good.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Ten see. All you gotta do is repeat that.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
The give do me?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And I shot there and how.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I was waiting more to flight recently, and I noticed
that the pilot.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Was a female, which I about was cool. I've never
seen a woman fly a plane. I mean, I didn't
actually see her fly the plane, because honestly, I caught
a different fly. This is the Walton and Johnson Show.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, we're playing music that they've used over the decades
to wake up the astronauts.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
What did they wake um Puts this morning?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't know what they woke come up with this morning,
but I will tell you. I've got a list of
most of the songs they've used over the last several days,
and I'll just cut to the chase here.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Billy D's going to hate all of them. Of course,
it's modern stuff. Nobody likes the new stuff. It's old
stuff is way better.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, there was a David Bowie song Queen I think
was on the list, but it was mostly stuff that
Billy D would really hate.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
They got any Ella. What's her face there? That that
hot little country gal? No, well why not because they
didn't I don't think they know who she is yet.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
They had one.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Country music artist, but I don't think you're gonna like him.
Oh boy, Yeah, he's a levet. But we'll get to it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, Well, it sounds exciting.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I hope they got anything to do today other than
just plummet to earth at you know, twenty five thousand
miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Well, fixing the heat shield and that feels like it's
kind of a gruel.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But they may die in the process.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
They're pretty much It sounds to me like they pretty
much decided to go with it like it is and
cross their fingers.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, Oh, we were hoping, like hell that you know
what at the bottom of that capsule when it comes
in at the you know, to the atmosphere and stuff.
At twenty five thousand miles an hour, of course it's
gonna slow down. When it hits that, it heats up
to approximately five thousand degrees. Really, that's hotter, hotter than
(13:10):
a Texas summer in August. I knew you'd have something
good in there. Yeah, it's hotter than the devil's smile.
That's hotter than a liberal. After hearing Trump say any
average thing that doesn't affect their life, isn't it great?
How they react to everything he's aid, the wording and
they always criticize him. Well, Trump said the F word.
It's very unpresidential. And then the liberals go out and
(13:34):
adopt the whole theory that to make them sound more
electable and tough, they're gonna start cussing all the time.
And they are doing it, and that's supposed to show
you how how much they don't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, now they're trying to distance them themselves from stuff
they said a couple of years ago. Short, of course,
they are Axios reports that Democrats looking at the twenty
twenty eight White House ry and want to run away
from their comments and views they made on stuff like
the COVID lockdowns, DEEI, crime, border security, and all.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The stuff that Trump's trying to fix mainly or has fixed.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They don't want that.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, they've got a list here of potential candidates for
twenty twenty eight, people like Senator Corey Booker, which I
think he should just lean into the fact that he's gay.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Nobody was there.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I think it would help forget more votes. But one
guy who can't do that is Pete Booty Jig. He
can't lean into the fact that he's gay because that's
not exciting and cool enough to distract from the fact
that he was part of the Biden administration, which is
very unpopular.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But what he was part of the bad administration was
leaning into the fact that he was gay.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That was it. Yeah, but no, but they they didn't
have the Biden administration scandals over cloding over him.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
They want to distance themselves from everything they've said and
done in the past, kind of like the way they
distance themselves from things like Bill Hillary, Barack Obama. You
didn't any Democrat can think of in charge of anything
in the last twenty to twenty five years. Up until recently,
they were against open borders. Yeah, they were all for
(15:10):
the same stuff that Trump's telling you he's for now.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
That's why they're not. They can't be for it today,
they're against it now because he's for it.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Other candidates that are trying to distance themselves from previous
statements include Gavin Newsom. Of course he's got his track
record in California to deal with, and JB. Pritzker but
of course he has his track record in Illinois to
deal with. And then Andy Bishar but unfortunately he's just
very boring, and then Josh Shapiro. I can't stay out
loud what they have to distance his from. But I
(15:39):
think we all know what it is. Don't say it
real loud, then just whisper.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It to think Democrats don't like chows. Got you.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That's a touchy subject for what's a Pritzker. That's the
Chicago guy. Yeah, I just explained that the problem with
Pritzker had a question. Sure, yeah, go ahead. Wouldn't it
cost a lot to retrofit the White House? Else to
fit him through all the doors? Oh, Billy d, you're
making me explain more nerdy stuff. There are some great
fat presidents of the past, and we can find out
(16:10):
what they actually ate every morning. One of them, I
think was Grover Cleveland would get up every morning and.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It was really more of a yes or no question.
At this point, I think, no, no, no, you started it. Yeah,
you did start it.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
That's oh, well, we're gonna have to go to break
and we'll probably have forgotten about this by the time
we get back. That was close Hull. You think I'm
gonna forget about it? And he almost went, you know,
like super nerd.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I'm not gonna forget about the president who got up
every morning and ate turtle soup.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's not the kind of thing you could forget about.
Put the sherry in it. I was wondering about that.
I'm sure. Yeah, well maybe not if it was breakfast,
you know.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, you can't have sherry for breakfast until after eleven
in the morning for that. Yeah, everyone knows you have
to have logger for breakfast. Don't be ridiculous, exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
You're listening to the Walton and Johnson Network, featuring Steve
Johnson and Kenny Webster, a handsome guy, by the way.
I didn't It's usually not my thing, but he is
a good looking sucker. Us be the new guy.
