Speaker 1 (00:00):
As a running back named Bo Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
That's interesting, But aren't you gonna ask why I'm playing
Don't Like Mondays on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I had no idea what you were playing. I didn't
know this was a music show. I thought we were
supposed to just keep doing the news and sports and
general updates on what's going on in the world around us.
It is uh, he said himself. It's not a music
show's kneth, it's not a music show. I'm not playing
the song. I'm talking about it. You're playing music, and
now you would have discussed the music that you're playing.
Argument based on semantics. You don't like bo Jackson? I do?
(00:29):
Is it because he's black? All right? Go ahead, Bo Jackson? No,
I don't want to talk about now. I want to
know why you're playing some silly song.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Earlier we got on the topic of school shooting songs,
songs about school shootings. There was Pumped Up Kicks by
the Foster of the People. I like that one, but
before that, there was Jeremy by Pearl Jam And, as
one of our listeners just pointed out, before that, there
was I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats. I
didn't know this was a thing. Apparently this is a
(00:55):
song about school shooting.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Don't like Mondays? Yeah you never heard this song before.
I don't like Monday's. All right, Bo Jackson, come up
with like a thousand songs You've never heard of, kiddy.
The fact that I've never heard of one astound you
so much. I have a database, so I have a
particular taste for music. It leans this direction, and I
think yours pretty much leans the exact opposite direction.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You're you're correct, But I have a database in front
of me. Yeah, correct, you're correct. But I have a
database in front of me of all the most popular
songs ever recorded in America in the twentieth and twenty
first century. And whenever I mentioned a song, it's usually
in the database.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Do you have a synthesizer in front of you as well?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And when you mentioned the songs, it's never in the data.
I like the good stuff, all right? What's all this about,
bo Jackson? I got a running back name of Bo Jackson.
They also got a quarterback named just saying wait really, yeah,
that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
They do it well. I just you know, Bo Jackson,
there was one before this kid. I don't know if
you have heard of him or not, but he was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, bo's football bono's baseball bono, bonos toc bono.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You're thinking of you two? No, that was the edge
played that you two music everybody loves so much.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What I always liked was the song from the Batman
soundtrack that they did. It was the same one that
sil was on Kissed by a Rose. That was a
good movie. You ever see that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
The song Batman song goes no no, no, no no
man just like that. Yeah, that went It was okay,
But then later on they got rock band the Batman song.
The rest of them are just wanna.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Be all right?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Why is there a football player named just saying that's
that's his name, like his nickname or his name name.
I looked him up and there is no just saying
what is he talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Do you mean justin No, there's a Julian Yeah, but
his last name was saying his first name stawt with
jay you So everybody just say, that's just saying that's all.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I actually kind of agree with mister o. And of
course you do, right, because you don't like gay people. No,
I wait, what he's not gay? He's a football player.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You're disagreeing with me because you don't like gay people.
That's ridiculous. There's no okay people ever, Gorges. I'm gonna
take you to court. Name one gay football player. There aren't. Oh,
there's tons none. There's never been a gay football player.
Oh sure, okay, fine, all right? What do you like
about bo Jackson?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Well?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What if not like about Bo Jackson except that he
quit too early because he got hurt. You remember Daryl
Strawberry with me in the cocaine. What does that have
to do with Bo Jackson? Nothing. It's a different sport,
not even close to the same name. All right, I
got a big announcement, only bow was arrested for drugs.
Knock all this silliness out. Let's get back to the news. Guys.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Do y'all remember a little while back there was this
truck from Toyota that you could buy in Japan for
like fifteen thousand dollars. I remember that, but you couldn't
buy it in the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Because of our weird laws.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Our trucks cost eighty ninety thousand dollars. Their trucks are cheap, right,
Donald Trump just threw the weight of the federal government
behind vehicles that burn gasoline rather than electric carners, gutting
one of the country's most significant efforts to what New
York Times claims address climate change.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Let me put this differently, guys.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Trump just scrapped the climate regulations that made vehicles complex,
expensive and frankly, kind of stupid.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
We kind of talked about this yesterday. Yeah, well we
didn't have the audio. If you go to Japan, where.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
I just left, and if you go to South Korea
and Malaysia and other countries, they have a very small car.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I sort of like the Beatle used to be with
the Volkswagon.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
They're very small. They're really cute, huh. And I said,
how would that do in this country? And everyone seems
to think good, But you're not allowed to build them.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
And I've authorized the Secretary to immediately approve the production
of those cars so you'll be able to buy they
really are they actually some of them are really beautiful.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Actually, so those of you that live in the city,
and I know a lot of our listeners don't, but
many do in the city. Sometimes it would be nice
to have a truck, but it's kind of hard to
parallel park a truck on like I don't know, Bourbon
Street in the French Quarter.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, I wouldn't wreck, or you know, Montros or somewhere
like that.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And besides, if you have a truck, it's expensive. If
you live in a place where you can't really use
a truck, it doesn't make any sense. Now you can
get a small, cheap truck. Guys, this is so cool.
I want to buy one of these tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Best saying Trump did yesterday was what we were talking about,
and it's along the same lines. He got rid of
that stupid button that makes your engine shut off when
you're sitting still at a red light or whatever. I
love that. Oh and it was sweet.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I know we're all supposed to be mad at Trump
because of Venezuela, and I'm not thrilled about it. But
this thing with the affordable trucks, I think this is
really cool. It's they call it the Cafe Fuel Standard.
It forces the car manufacturers to increase the average fuel
efficiency of their fleets. It's forced automakers to make engines
needlessly complex, expensive hard to fix, ironically, to avoid regulations
(05:51):
imposed on smaller vehicles. It's also led automakers to make
their trucks larger and larger and abandoning entire production lines
like four did with its sedans.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They put that aggravating button in there, so you just
go ahead and get an electric car. So they were
I didn't work, did it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No nobody wanted that Billie anyway. They were either banned
or no longer offered due to government regulation. Meanwhile, in
other nations, people readily enjoy inexpensive, reliable offerings without all
the gadgets and gizmos, like the Toyota hillis h I
l ux I may be saying it wrong, Helix is
at it or the Ranga ra a n gga. It's
just a small truck. It's a cool truck. It's got
(06:29):
a bed. You can drive it in the city. You
could put stuff in it. You got a haul of
TV or some speakers or something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
A lot of people know the reason you get a
truck because you might be driving along and somebody's lost
a ladder out in the middle of the highway or something. Well,
you can pull over and throw it up in your truck,
be on your way.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
My brother in Christ, I am excited to buy one
of these trucks. That is, how many of you would
love a cheap truck for less than twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's amazing. Are you gonna be the first one? Are
you gonna lead the charge of truck buying?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I mean, if, if you should, If it's a brand
new truck for for less than twenty grand, yeah, a
lot of average people could afford that tomorrow with a
little down payment and a reasonable monthly payment.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Most most Americans can buy that. But not Jasmine Krogett. Wait, why,
I'm sorry? What does this have to do with Japparently
she needs money? Jasmine Crockett a little bit of trouble.
I guess. I don't know if you can be in
trouble though, Do tell me when when you're Jazzmine Crockett,
because she is in arrears, if you will excuse me, Yeah,
(07:32):
I knew you'd like that. Texas congress Woman Jasmine either
refuses to or don't have the money to pay her
three thousand dollars lean that on her Dallas condominium. It's
very nice because the HOA, you know, you got to
you got to pay your HOA fees and you do's
and all that kind of stuff. Or after a length
(07:53):
of time, they will put a lean on the house
and try to take it away from you. Jasmin Crockett
owe three thousand, some forty's up dollars and seventy nine
cents to the West Side Condominium Association and have owed
it for well over a year and she still ain't
paid it as So I guess what we need to
do is set up a GoFundMe. Well, apparently she doesn't
(08:14):
have enough money, don't.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
We don't get enough money. I mean, I'm being honest,
and I know that some people may take issue with
that because they talk about how much money we make,
and I get it. It's not that we're obviously getting
minimum wage. But by the time you talk about having
an I have a mortgage and I have an interest
rate that is.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like three percent.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Interest rates are not that low anymore, right, that's number one,
number two. So it's a matter of, oh, do you
sell your home then go somewhere else and get out.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The average person in her district makes fifty two thousand
dollars a year, and that brings us to our next point.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Her district doesn't exist anymore. That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's going away, which is probably why she's about to
announce she's going to run for Senate, supposedly.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
On Monday, which is the last day to life. She
bought this condo, by the way, in twenty four thirteen,
and she's been able to afford it for eleven years
and now camp.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And now that she gets paid more money, she can
no longer afford it. Yeah, well that makes perfect sense,
said nobody.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Although they did point out that she's spent seventy five
thousand dollars of campaign funds on hotels, personal security, limo
services for the year. What the year she spent that
much money but didn't want to pay her bills.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And she says part of the reason why my life's
so hard for her is because she's a black woman.
One person who's not buying it is black Texas lawmaker
Wesley Hunt.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
People like Jasner Crockett and I we just don't see
this country and we just don't see the world the
same way. And again, I have someone that has fought in
combat for this country. I'm somebody that believes in America
First agenda because I believe in just that, putting America first,
and the contract that you will see on a debate
stage with somebody who is constantly clamoring about being the
(10:00):
and how black folks can't have this because of systemic racism,
and this and that. The contract of somebody like that,
and the contrast of someone like me, who is the
great great grandson of a slave, My great great grandfather
was born on a plantation, and I have the honor
of representing a white majority district of President Trump would
have won by twenty points and I just won by
(10:22):
twenty seven points because I'm literally being judged not by
the color of my skin, but by the content of
my character. And to talk about the progress of this
great nation and how I get to sit before you
every single day and not be concerned about the color
of my skin.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Dude, he's running for Senate right now. He's in second place.
First place is Ken Paxton. Third place is the incumbent
John Cornyn. No matter who wins this race, one thing
you're sure is not gonna be John Cornyn. But wouldn't
it be interesting if Wesley Hunt and Jasmine ended up
being the respective Republican and Democrat primary candidates having a
(10:57):
debate for the Senate seat.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It'll be off to chin.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, it would be interesting to watch a TV
debate between those two, Jasmine saying everything is racist and
then Wesley saying, actually turns out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I say this calls for action. And now nip it
in the bud.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
First sign of youngster's going wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You got to nip it in the bud. Nipp it.
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson. Okay, some weird news
for you guys, some stuff like we haven't already covered
the weird. I mean everything we've talked about has been
pretty weird. Columbia Sportswear. You guys use any of their stuff, Billy,
I'm familiar. Yeah, it's a lot cheaper than some of
(11:36):
them fancy names stuff if you're looking for, you know,
hunting gear, ski gear, stuff like it. Yeah, north Face
and Patagonia. Can you afford that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I can remember a time when Carhart was not considered
to be expensive, and now it is.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Obermeyer. I think that's a price. Ever price that one? Yeah,
well they you get what you pay for Canadian Goose.
You ever see that can I I bought.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Some of that Patagonia luggage to go because they say
it's good for what camping and stuff like that, and
I using it last summer and when I was done,
it occurred to me it probably didn't really matter. No,
it wasn't like I was falling down the side of
a mountain with it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Anyway, you went out there for like three days, it's
not like this is your lifestyle now.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Nice and stayed in a camper with air conditioning. And
while we were there, a friendly redneck named Derek helped
us out the whole time. Is anything that didn't work,
He's like, oh, I got starlink and running water.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
They fix you out it. Rednecks are good, but that's
why you're always going to eat a redneck, especially when
things go wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
One of the things about working on this radio show
one of the perks that they did not tell me
so many years ago. I'm in my forties now, almost
my mid forties. I've been working here since I was
in my late twenties. One of the they don't explain
this when you apply for the job is anywhere you
go in America, there's a friendly, helpful redneck nearby who
loves the Walton Johnson Show.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's right. If you're haing problems.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
With your car, or your enerator or your camper, if
your gun is jammed, if you can't figure out how
to fix your refrigerator. There's always a helpful redneck somewhere,
and he loves Billy Ed.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Don't forget septic systems, oh for sure. Oh yeah, you
want to get that right the first time, you know
what I mean. Anyway, we got off topic.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
There's a new ad campaign for Columbia Sportswear challenging the
flat earthers. They're offering to gift the entire company to
anyone who can journey.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
To the edge of the Earth and point to the
edge and say this is where it stops. If you
could prove the earth is flat. CEO Tom Boyle will
give you his entire company. I am Timboile. I'm the
CEO here Columbia Sportswear, and this message is for flat earthers.
You guys claim there's an end to the earth.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
We'll just go snap a picture, send it to us,
and you get the assets of the company, all of it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
No paperwork, no lawyers, no catches. There is some paper.
We're giving you all this, this and all of that.
I think that guy, Hey, flat earthers, give me a favor.
You're going to the edge of the earth where Colombia
you'll need it, bro, he's right about that dude. He
should have also promised to not only give the dude
(14:15):
his company, but then he'll jump off the edge on
his way out. That'd be cool, That would be cool.
I agree with you anyway. That's Tim Boyle, and he's
not going to give away his company, though I don't
think he has. Yeah, we got an email from some
of the stuff you said about Venezuela earlier today was
fairly hateful, Keenny. What did I say? I don't remember,
But this guy says everything you said about Venezuela is true.
(14:39):
He knows it better than most, and he said, accept
that their women are fine. So could we just agree
to only let in their women and then I think
everybody'd be cool with it, right.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't remember when I said about Venezuela. I thought
I was going pretty hard on Sama Yards.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Because you said we're gonna have a war with Cezuela
to keep that from happening. But we know the opposite
is what will happen. Oh, importing the Third World? Yeah,
go to war with somebody we import their citizens.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay, we've explained this before, and this isn't my position.
This is just a position that people in our political
movement tend to agree with. If she's fine, she gets
to stay. Seven's and up, we don't deport. Okay, seven's
in below. You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Who's the guy deciding? Billy d be me? Yeah? Billiyad's
gonna do it? Oh not me?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
That's too much pressure, guys. I couldn't even I'm on
handle it. Yeah nowadays, what with my lifestyle, I can't
afford to be judging these venezuela and nines and eights
and wouldn't want to.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Let's me get to judging people. Do you think maybe
Jake Tapper and others just judged Brian Cole by his
name and just assumed that no self respecting black man
would be named Brian Cole. That just sounds very you know,
non Corderius if you will. Now, if the guy's name
(15:55):
had been Cordarius Coal, you probably would have said, oh,
that been an African American man.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It does sound a little racist to me. Hey, a
quick question for you guys. Twenty days until Christmas. We've
got the AI setup you want to figure out here? Hey, Roc,
how many days left un till Christmas?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
This is your friendly reminder that there are now twenty
days until Christmas.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What I thought.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Women, you're already making lists, checking them twice, pre ordering
gifts and wrapping presents in color coded paper, and somehow
baking cookies at the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Men, you still have nineteen days to relax before your
annual Christmas Eve panic when you sprint through the last
open hardware store grabbing anything you can. This has been
your holiday countdown public service announcement.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You're welcome, You're well, Yeah, you're all welcome. Email from Carrie,
who says, as far as songs about school shootings go,
and there are more than one, she says, Foster the
people like you mentioned earlier, the pumped Up Kicks, because
it sounds so happy, that's what makes it the best one.
But it's about school shooting, but they're also uplifting. That's
(17:02):
all three of them.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Though I don't like mondays, this doesn't sound like a
sad song about a school shooting. This certainly doesn't. You
know why it sounds happy because it's in major courts,
not minor chords. That's what I was thinking. That's why
Pearl Jam's Jeremy makes sense. It's in minor Cords.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Today's show is sponsored by the Missiletoe at your office
holiday party. It's a trap you should avoid if you
want to stay employed. Ditto that for the booze they serve.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I told you a thousand times. Michelle is not a man, Okay,
so please stop calling her big money. She really hates
that this is the Walton and Johnson Show.
As a running back named Bo Jackson.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
That's interesting, But aren't you gonna ask why I'm playing
Don't Like Mondays on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I had no idea what you were playing. I didn't
know this was a music show. I thought we were
supposed to just keep doing the news and sports and

show's kneth, it's not a music show. I'm not playing
the song. I'm talking about it. You're playing music, and
now you would have discussed the music that you're playing.
Argument based on semantics. You don't like bo Jackson? I do?
(00:29):
Is it because he's black? All right? Go ahead, Bo Jackson? No,
I don't want to talk about now. I want to
know why you're playing some silly song.

They also got a quarterback named just saying wait really, yeah,
that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
They do it well. I just you know, Bo Jackson,
there was one before this kid. I don't know if
you have heard of him or not, but he was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, bo's football bono's baseball bono, bonos toc bono.

didn't have the audio. If you go to Japan, where.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
I just left, and if you go to South Korea
and Malaysia and other countries, they have a very small car.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I sort of like the Beatle used to be with
the Volkswagon.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
They're very small. They're really cute, huh. And I said,
how would that do in this country? And everyone seems
to think good, But you're not allowed to build them.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
And I've authorized the Secretary to immediately approve the production
of those cars so you'll be able to buy they
really are they actually some of them are really beautiful.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Actually, so those of you that live in the city,
and I know a lot of our listeners don't, but
many do in the city. Sometimes it would be nice
to have a truck, but it's kind of hard to
parallel park a truck on like I don't know, Bourbon
Street in the French Quarter.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, I wouldn't wreck, or you know, Montros or somewhere
like that.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And besides, if you have a truck, it's expensive. If
you live in a place where you can't really use
a truck, it doesn't make any sense. Now you can
get a small, cheap truck. Guys, this is so cool.
I want to buy one of these tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Best saying Trump did yesterday was what we were talking about,
and it's along the same lines. He got rid of
that stupid button that makes your engine shut off when
you're sitting still at a red light or whatever. I
love that. Oh and it was sweet.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I know we're all supposed to be mad at Trump
because of Venezuela, and I'm not thrilled about it. But
this thing with the affordable trucks, I think this is
really cool. It's they call it the Cafe Fuel Standard.
It forces the car manufacturers to increase the average fuel
efficiency of their fleets. It's forced automakers to make engines
needlessly complex, expensive hard to fix, ironically, to avoid regulations
(05:51):
imposed on smaller vehicles. It's also led automakers to make
their trucks larger and larger and abandoning entire production lines
like four did with its sedans.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They put that aggravating button in there, so you just
go ahead and get an electric car. So they were
I didn't work, did it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No nobody wanted that Billie anyway. They were either banned
or no longer offered due to government regulation. Meanwhile, in
other nations, people readily enjoy inexpensive, reliable offerings without all
the gadgets and gizmos, like the Toyota hillis h I
l ux I may be saying it wrong, Helix is
at it or the Ranga ra a n gga. It's
just a small truck. It's a cool truck. It's got
(06:29):
a bed. You can drive it in the city. You
could put stuff in it. You got a haul of
TV or some speakers or something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
A lot of people know the reason you get a
truck because you might be driving along and somebody's lost
a ladder out in the middle of the highway or something. Well,
you can pull over and throw it up in your truck,
be on your way.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
My brother in Christ, I am excited to buy one
of these trucks. That is, how many of you would
love a cheap truck for less than twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's amazing. Are you gonna be the first one? Are
you gonna lead the charge of truck buying?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I mean, if, if you should, If it's a brand
new truck for for less than twenty grand, yeah, a
lot of average people could afford that tomorrow with a
little down payment and a reasonable monthly payment.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Most most Americans can buy that. But not Jasmine Krogett. Wait, why,
I'm sorry? What does this have to do with Japparently
she needs money? Jasmine Crockett a little bit of trouble.
I guess. I don't know if you can be in
trouble though, Do tell me when when you're Jazzmine Crockett,
because she is in arrears, if you will excuse me, Yeah,
(07:32):
I knew you'd like that. Texas congress Woman Jasmine either
refuses to or don't have the money to pay her
three thousand dollars lean that on her Dallas condominium. It's
very nice because the HOA, you know, you got to
you got to pay your HOA fees and you do's
and all that kind of stuff. Or after a length
(07:53):
of time, they will put a lean on the house
and try to take it away from you. Jasmin Crockett
owe three thousand, some forty's up dollars and seventy nine
cents to the West Side Condominium Association and have owed
it for well over a year and she still ain't
paid it as So I guess what we need to
do is set up a GoFundMe. Well, apparently she doesn't
(08:14):
have enough money, don't.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
We don't get enough money. I mean, I'm being honest,
and I know that some people may take issue with
that because they talk about how much money we make,
and I get it. It's not that we're obviously getting
minimum wage. But by the time you talk about having
an I have a mortgage and I have an interest
rate that is.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like three percent.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Interest rates are not that low anymore, right, that's number one,
number two. So it's a matter of, oh, do you
sell your home then go somewhere else and get out.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The average person in her district makes fifty two thousand
dollars a year, and that brings us to our next point.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Her district doesn't exist anymore. That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's going away, which is probably why she's about to
announce she's going to run for Senate, supposedly.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
On Monday, which is the last day to life. She
bought this condo, by the way, in twenty four thirteen,
and she's been able to afford it for eleven years
and now camp.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And now that she gets paid more money, she can
no longer afford it. Yeah, well that makes perfect sense,
said nobody.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Although they did point out that she's spent seventy five
thousand dollars of campaign funds on hotels, personal security, limo
services for the year. What the year she spent that
much money but didn't want to pay her bills.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And she says part of the reason why my life's
so hard for her is because she's a black woman.
One person who's not buying it is black Texas lawmaker
Wesley Hunt.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
People like Jasner Crockett and I we just don't see
this country and we just don't see the world the
same way. And again, I have someone that has fought in
combat for this country. I'm somebody that believes in America
First agenda because I believe in just that, putting America first,
and the contract that you will see on a debate
stage with somebody who is constantly clamoring about being the
(10:00):
and how black folks can't have this because of systemic racism,
and this and that. The contract of somebody like that,
and the contrast of someone like me, who is the
great great grandson of a slave, My great great grandfather
was born on a plantation, and I have the honor
of representing a white majority district of President Trump would
have won by twenty points and I just won by
(10:22):
twenty seven points because I'm literally being judged not by
the color of my skin, but by the content of
my character. And to talk about the progress of this
great nation and how I get to sit before you
every single day and not be concerned about the color
of my skin.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Dude, he's running for Senate right now. He's in second place.
First place is Ken Paxton. Third place is the incumbent
John Cornyn. No matter who wins this race, one thing
you're sure is not gonna be John Cornyn. But wouldn't
it be interesting if Wesley Hunt and Jasmine ended up
being the respective Republican and Democrat primary candidates having a
(10:57):
debate for the Senate seat.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It'll be off to chin.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean, it would be interesting to watch a TV
debate between those two, Jasmine saying everything is racist and
then Wesley saying, actually turns out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I say this calls for action. And now nip it
in the bud.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
First sign of youngster's going wrong.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You got to nip it in the bud. Nipp it.
Stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson. Okay, some weird news
for you guys, some stuff like we haven't already covered
the weird. I mean everything we've talked about has been
pretty weird. Columbia Sportswear. You guys use any of their stuff, Billy,
I'm familiar. Yeah, it's a lot cheaper than some of
(11:36):
them fancy names stuff if you're looking for, you know,
hunting gear, ski gear, stuff like it. Yeah, north Face
and Patagonia. Can you afford that?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I can remember a time when Carhart was not considered
to be expensive, and now it is.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Obermeyer. I think that's a price. Ever price that one? Yeah,
well they you get what you pay for Canadian Goose.
You ever see that can I I bought.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Some of that Patagonia luggage to go because they say
it's good for what camping and stuff like that, and
I using it last summer and when I was done,
it occurred to me it probably didn't really matter. No,
it wasn't like I was falling down the side of
a mountain with it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Anyway, you went out there for like three days, it's
not like this is your lifestyle now.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Nice and stayed in a camper with air conditioning. And
while we were there, a friendly redneck named Derek helped
us out the whole time. Is anything that didn't work,
He's like, oh, I got starlink and running water.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
They fix you out it. Rednecks are good, but that's
why you're always going to eat a redneck, especially when
things go wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
One of the things about working on this radio show
one of the perks that they did not tell me
so many years ago. I'm in my forties now, almost
my mid forties. I've been working here since I was
in my late twenties. One of the they don't explain
this when you apply for the job is anywhere you
go in America, there's a friendly, helpful redneck nearby who
loves the Walton Johnson Show.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's right. If you're haing problems.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
With your car, or your enerator or your camper, if
your gun is jammed, if you can't figure out how
to fix your refrigerator. There's always a helpful redneck somewhere,
and he loves Billy Ed.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Don't forget septic systems, oh for sure. Oh yeah, you
want to get that right the first time, you know
what I mean. Anyway, we got off topic.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
There's a new ad campaign for Columbia Sportswear challenging the
flat earthers. They're offering to gift the entire company to
anyone who can journey.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
To the edge of the Earth and point to the
edge and say this is where it stops. If you
could prove the earth is flat. CEO Tom Boyle will
give you his entire company. I am Timboile. I'm the
CEO here Columbia Sportswear, and this message is for flat earthers.
You guys claim there's an end to the earth.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
We'll just go snap a picture, send it to us,
and you get the assets of the company, all of it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
No paperwork, no lawyers, no catches. There is some paper.
We're giving you all this, this and all of that.
I think that guy, Hey, flat earthers, give me a favor.
You're going to the edge of the earth where Colombia
you'll need it, bro, he's right about that dude. He
should have also promised to not only give the dude
(14:15):
his company, but then he'll jump off the edge on
his way out. That'd be cool, That would be cool.
I agree with you anyway. That's Tim Boyle, and he's
not going to give away his company, though I don't
think he has. Yeah, we got an email from some
of the stuff you said about Venezuela earlier today was
fairly hateful, Keenny. What did I say? I don't remember,
But this guy says everything you said about Venezuela is true.
(14:39):
He knows it better than most, and he said, accept
that their women are fine. So could we just agree
to only let in their women and then I think
everybody'd be cool with it, right.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't remember when I said about Venezuela. I thought
I was going pretty hard on Sama Yards.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Because you said we're gonna have a war with Cezuela
to keep that from happening. But we know the opposite
is what will happen. Oh, importing the Third World? Yeah,
go to war with somebody we import their citizens.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay, we've explained this before, and this isn't my position.
This is just a position that people in our political
movement tend to agree with. If she's fine, she gets
to stay. Seven's and up, we don't deport. Okay, seven's
in below. You gotta go.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Who's the guy deciding? Billy d be me? Yeah? Billiyad's
gonna do it? Oh not me?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
That's too much pressure, guys. I couldn't even I'm on
handle it. Yeah nowadays, what with my lifestyle, I can't
afford to be judging these venezuela and nines and eights
and wouldn't want to.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Let's me get to judging people. Do you think maybe
Jake Tapper and others just judged Brian Cole by his
name and just assumed that no self respecting black man
would be named Brian Cole. That just sounds very you know,
non Corderius if you will. Now, if the guy's name
(15:55):
had been Cordarius Coal, you probably would have said, oh,
that been an African American man.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It does sound a little racist to me. Hey, a
quick question for you guys. Twenty days until Christmas. We've
got the AI setup you want to figure out here? Hey, Roc,
how many days left un till Christmas?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
This is your friendly reminder that there are now twenty
days until Christmas.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What I thought.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Women, you're already making lists, checking them twice, pre ordering
gifts and wrapping presents in color coded paper, and somehow
baking cookies at the same time.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Men, you still have nineteen days to relax before your
annual Christmas Eve panic when you sprint through the last
open hardware store grabbing anything you can. This has been
your holiday countdown public service announcement.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You're welcome, You're well, Yeah, you're all welcome. Email from Carrie,
who says, as far as songs about school shootings go,
and there are more than one, she says, Foster the
people like you mentioned earlier, the pumped Up Kicks, because
it sounds so happy, that's what makes it the best one.
But it's about school shooting, but they're also uplifting. That's
(17:02):
all three of them.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Though I don't like mondays, this doesn't sound like a
sad song about a school shooting. This certainly doesn't. You
know why it sounds happy because it's in major courts,
not minor chords. That's what I was thinking. That's why
Pearl Jam's Jeremy makes sense. It's in minor Cords.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Today's show is sponsored by the Missiletoe at your office
holiday party. It's a trap you should avoid if you
want to stay employed. Ditto that for the booze they serve.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I told you a thousand times. Michelle is not a man, Okay,
so please stop calling her big money. She really hates
that this is the Walton and Johnson Show.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
