Speaker 1 (00:01):
I want you to imagine for a moment, you're a musician.
You're a one hit wonder, not a recent one either.
Thirty years ago you had one song got used on
a lot of teenage sitcoms and soap operas and that
sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And I'm imagining it right now. That still get groupies,
right yoah yeah, I mean sort of, not like you.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Know, the best ones, middlely average, middle aged groupies like that.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I mean it was thirty years ago, so the groupies
you're getting, the trophies a little tarnished at this point.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Well, they were probably twelve when they loved me. Maybe, yeah,
I know, they're forty two, sure, right, could be worse.
That's the whole day. It works for me, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And so you wrote this song, and the song was
featured on Dawson's Creek and you know, American Pie or
whatever movie it was in, and then it was forgotten about,
gets played in the lobby of hotels, or maybe at
the end of a film or a TV commercial for
soap that airs in Japan.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You know, not really.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I still get mailbox money though, That's what's important.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You get that.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And then suddenly there's a massive political controversy, an international
human rights crisis. Thousands of migrants, some many of them criminal,
many of them face tattooed gang members appearing at the
border of your country every day.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I think I'm familiar with who you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, And this goes on for years, to the point
where millions of these people enter the country, and almost
unlimited number of not just illegal immigrants, but many of
them dangerous illegal a substantial portion of them criminals, criminals
people with trende Aragua and MS thirteen face tattoos.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Clearly bad.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So an election happens, things change, and suddenly the situation improves.
You get a new president who cares enough to solve
the problem and also at the same time just coincidentally
has a great sense of humor, and he decides to
post a video to social media of illegal immigrant gang
members with face tattoos being deported to your.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Song, stay here.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
And You're mad about it. The lyrics are perfect. You
don't have to go home, but you just you can't
stay here. You gotta go. If you're in a band
called Semi Sonic, that's the name of this group, I
would have never got that it. Heard the song for years,
never Semi sonic.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Sure, it's in an episode of the Office, remember, Yeah,
it's in a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And they never get their name mentioned much.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That's the problem with being a one hit wonder. Yeah,
you know what I mean, Eileen, come on, Eileen, right,
how many people know that it's Dexi and the Midnight Runners.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, I got that, but most people I wish I hadn't.
You know what ended their their career. Basically it was
Saturday Night Live. Oh, that's right, Dexi.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Midnight Runners went on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Oh they were huge at that moment in time, and
when they were live, they sucked so bad the next Monday.
By by Saturday Night to Monday, they were done. Everybody
had already nationwide, everybody was like, this is the worst
thing ever. They were not a good band. Nobody ever
(03:11):
cared about them. Again, that's right. They had a bad performance.
And you know what's funny is only once a year
does this song become relevant. We didn't play it yesterday
on Saint Patrick's Day. This is a Saint Patrick's Day.
It's a song that gets on playlist. We didn't bother
to play just anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, Semi Sonic right now, is pretending to be mad
at Trump. Now, I know this doesn't matter in the
grand scheme of things, doesn't affect anyone's life, But I
just you notice things, right, like you notice someone's pretending
to be mad about something. But how could they be? Yeah,
because you get how clicks work on the internet. We
have a podcast. We know what happens when a lot
of people listen to something or read something, or you
(03:49):
get paid more for it.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's how it works.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Sure So right now today, over the next forty eight hours,
maybe the next week, the guys from Semi Sonic are
gonna get a little boost in their paycheck what you
referred to as mailbox money, right and they're gonna pretend
they don't like Trump. They're telling him, don't use our
song in your video. You don't care. You know, you
don't care. There's people all over the country right now
(04:12):
downloading your song off of Apple Music or iTunes or
whatever we're calling it now, the Amazon Music, and you're
gonna just sit there, don't use We don't like it.
The audacity of defending gang members. And we're not talking
about the cleaning lady. This isn't about the guy that
picks avocados for a living. We're still in the part
(04:33):
of this immigration deportation process where we're rounding up all.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
The gang members, and you could see that did they
turn them loose and set them free when they landed
and got off of the plane and else Elvador.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They took them to. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
As the leader of El Salvadar, we were just talking
about this off the area is a really cool guy
named bu Kelly.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I don't know him, but Kenny speaks highly of him,
so I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
He's kind of like Trump Malay in Argentina. Bu Kelly
and L Salvador, these guys are like their right wing populists.
They don't adhere to political correctness. They're very charismatic leaders.
They dabble their toe in pop culture. You know, it's
not what you expect from a so called conservative leader.
And this guy really cracked down on crime in El Salvador.
(05:22):
This is one of the great achievements of the West
over the last several years. That you forgot the question,
didn't you what do we want for breakfast?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Did they turn them loose and set them free when
they landed in El Salvador. Because they're really great guys.
They're harmless people. Why we had to send them back?
We'll never know.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You're right, I did forget that bu Kelly's got them
in a prison, now, Ah, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That's what That's how they treat their own citizens when
they're criminals.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Huh. Well, remember that narco terrorism is still terrorism.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
When we think of terrorism, we either if you're a liberal,
you think of white supremacist.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
If you're a conservative, you think of Islam.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But narco terrorism probably any more concerning to people that
live in the western half of the world. Look Islamic
and white supremacist terrorism happens. But down at the border,
the cartiles associated with most Zetas and the Sinaloa and
the Golf cartel, those guys are like blowing up grocery
stores and shooting police stations with rockets. And this stuff
(06:20):
doesn't really make the news that much in America because
American journalists don't want to go down there and cover it.
But that's still terrorism, yep. So they're in a terror
ward or something like that, is that what it's called.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
They send them to some kind of a special you know,
super secret prison, especially for people who are as bad
as they are. That's how bad they are. They got
a special prison for these guys. And I will tell
you this watching the video of them marching them off
that plane, and then when they got them into the prison,
they got them in their little white T shirts and
(06:50):
the little white shorts and the little white socks, and
they're all handcuffed, chained at the waist, and they make
them bend over and walk aroun while each each one
of the prisoners has a security guard with him with
a hand on the back of his head, just keeping
him pressed down while they walk them around wherever they're going.
(07:13):
That's better than anything I have watched on Netflix in
months at least. It's so good.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I ever thought i'd say this out loud before, but
the Al Salvador government's really cool, is it?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's Tuesday, Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
An early bird. This is the Walton and Johnson Show.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So many people that need us to figuratively crap on
them today.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Oh okay, it's early I guess we can start working
something up.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh god, I've got so many where to start USA
today or one of the people in the comment section
on our Facebook page.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Let's go USA Today. They suck so much already. All right, now,
what have they done?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I know how people sometimes laugh when I mispronounced words.
I'm gonna say some Islamic names here, Arabic. I'm probably
not saying.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I'm right. I just want to just taught a lot
when you do it, and it'll probably sound authentic.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
There's this Rhode Island what they're calling a physician. It's
a professor named doctor Rasha a la wayah oh boy
doctor Raj. And this person was deported and border patrol
officials say this person was sympathetic to the Hesbola leader.
That this person, doctor Rasha, it's a woman who wears
Fulburka attended the funeral for the leader of Hesbola and
(08:29):
that's why she's being deported. They're like, look, you can't
go to a terrorist's funeral.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Were they related? Well, m i'd been a family member.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
USA Today writes an article to defend this person. Doctor
Rasha reportedly told customs officials that she followed the religious
teachings of Hassan Nosra Law, but not the politics of
the late Hesbela leader. Hence the reason she attended his funeral. Okay,
could you imagine? Goebbels told Interpol he followed the art
(08:58):
school teachings of Adolph Hitler, but not the politics of.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The late Nazi leader. Yeah, it was different. I hate
Nazi analogies, but I know liberals love him, and I
just I only do it once in a while. But
isn't that a come on?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know? It's like, ah, yeah, this well, he enjoyed
Stalin's taste in music. He only attended his funeral because
the two of them were both culinary enthusiasts. He never
he didn't believe in what happened in the communist prison camps.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
He was against that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But he missed his old art school buddies, so he
went to his funeral.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
They just shared some recipes and things, that's all. Yeah,
we were into the cooking and stuff. He was totally
opposed to the Gulags. Didn't like that. That was bad,
but you know they loved Pasta.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And fu Usa. Today.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Look, if you're defending gang members that just got deported
or people.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That are literally hanging out with terrorists, yep.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Not even like a social media post defending Hamas. But
went to the funeral for the leader of a terrorist organizer.
F you go f yourself. This is why the media
died this past election. Nobody, no one listens to him anymore.
People do not. The comment section, by the way, on
that post from USA Today is like it was like
(10:16):
a roast battle.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So can we can we count the days?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Start the stopwatch ticking on the future of the USA
Today As a publication, I.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Think we should shut them down.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You know someone's still reading this garbage. I had another
one here from New York Times. Here it is New
York Times just published this article March sixteenth, so this
had been at the end of last week. The headline
we were badly misled about the event that changed our lives.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Steve. This is an article about COVID.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Oh where we misled and we're just now figuring it out.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
This is like that comedy sketch that the guy that's
dressed like a hot dog who crashed a hot dog
car into a suit store.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
We gotta figure out who did this.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, you're the ones who misled everybody on You're the.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Well, no, if we put a story out about it,
it'll sound like it was somebody else.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Change the headline so it says, we badly misled you
on the lives. You understand what's so crazy about this?
One of the authors of this article is a Chinese nationalist.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Somebody didn't tell you the truth. I wish we knew
who it was. Oh, look over there, a bird on
the windowsill. How pretty okay, Well, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
God I hate these people so much. All right, here's
another one. Steve, your better half was very fired up
about this story involving Kristin Chavez. This is a woman
from the Houston area who was murdered and all four
of her dogs were murdered. Yeah, there's an article about
it today in the New York Post. Texas brute charged
with beating wife to death with iron, dumping her four dogs.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
On the highway. That's they called him a brute. You
know how the New York Post.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I know they write such silly little things, but it's funny. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I love Christine. Christine's one of the smartest people. She's
the person you don't hear on this show. She constantly
gives us ideas for news stories, taught she's behind the scenes.
She's really like our business manager. She's wonderful but.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Also brings us breakfast occasionally, which is always admired, adored,
appreciated in so many ways.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Christine is one of my favorite people on Earth. She's
my sister from another mister. The other day she sent
me this petition change dot org please share this post
increased bail and demand maximum census for Kristin chab.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
As his murder.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, after the details of this man, and not just
that he killed this woman, but the way he killed
her and the way he just you know, hit him
who he is. And this judge looked at these facts
and said, Eh, how about five thousand dollars that'll get
you out.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's a big problem in our city.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
This isn't the first time that's happened where someone got
accused of a terrible crime. What is the point of
jail if not to protect the innocent from the dangerous?
And so this low bail, it's a common thing. In
the comment section, this isn't even about that. In the
comment section of our post for the petition, someone named
Bob says, guessing Kenny Webster researched this before posting it. Now,
(13:13):
I don't know if he meant that sarcastically or seriously.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't know don't get tone in an email or
a text message. Show. But that's fine. I'll just take
it at face value.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Bob.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It wasn't my post. But for the record, this is
important to Christine, it's important to me. And you know
how you can like a post or laugh at it.
Or some guy named Jerry of Friarson, Louisiana decided to
lol that he works at the City of Shreveport and
he's an electrician there, and Jerry, I'm just curious, what's
funny about this? What some woman got murdered, possibly by
(13:45):
her own husband, and the dogs got dumped on the
side of the highway.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You thought that was funny?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
What was the elolling, the comment about you doing research
or the story itself.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The comment about research.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, maybe he just thought it was funny that somebody said,
you know, hopefully you you researched this, because you do that.
That's kind of thing you do.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, I mean that's all. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All I do is sit around all day and read
news stories. I don't have children. I just have blog posts.
But that's not about me. What's funny about it?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't you know.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I know, it's what caused that chuckle headed chuckle. He's
just south of Shreveport there in Friarson. Yea, so maybe
some of our Shreeport Boser listeners are familiar with Jerry
and his odd and awkward sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, I guess so, L O L Jerry loo Lay
show is going to be the greatest show.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I've got a great two for Tuesday. It must be
two for Tuesday. Yeah that too for Tesday Special Walton
and Johnson
