Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time again for celebrity birthdays and today in industry,
proudly brought to you by mister Katta. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Ty Sheridan is twenty nine today. You might have seen
him as Cyclops in X Men Apocalypse's in Deadpool and
other things.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Pussy did Yallowstone and Tulsa King different Sheridan, Tyler Sheridan, Hi,
this is just Tye. What do we need two of
them for?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
We don't.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's confusing.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Let's get rid of one of them.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, yeah, let's see Vinny from A Josie Shaw is
thirty eight, okay. Leonardo DiCaprio is fifty one, holding up, okay.
Adam Beach a Native American or Indian actor, if you will,
if you know American Indian, he is fifty three. You

(00:48):
know him if you saw him for sure.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Carson Cresley from Queer Eye the Og Queer Eye Fashion Expert,
he's fifty six now.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Callista Flockhart ally.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Mcgo nobody, sort of nobody, huh sixty one to me?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Moore is sixty three. And I believe she's coming back
on land Man here in just a few days. Well,
that's great that she's still doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Stanley Tucci one of my favorite actors.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
He's sixty five today. Of course, you saw him in
The Devil Wears Prada and The Hunger.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Games, some of the things that I didn't see, but
generally I like him. I liked Hunger Games. That was fun.
At least the first couple they got a little play.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
They didn't see it.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Hunger Games. I never saw Titanic, yeah, or Friends. I
never seen Friends. No. No, Hunger Games was great. Hunting
people through the jungle. That was a cool movie. It
did make people buy bow and arrows. Bows and arrows,
that's how those two dogs died earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Probably turn a lot of people into archery, because you know,
there was some of that uh Fuzzy Zolar I don't
know why I know that name, but he's seventy four today.
That's a professional golfer. Think you mixed it up a
little bit. But Tiger was back a few days a
few years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Probably fighting with the white half of them. Probably Barbara
Boxer still with us, really eighty five for the former
senator from California. I thought she left politics because of
her health or because she's still sucking air. That's great.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
No longer with US.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
However, the legendary comedian Jonathan Winters, brilliant author Kurt Vonnegut,
another author, Fyodor Dostoevsky. You've heard of crime and Punishment,
I'm sure. And the general that Billy had mentioned earlier,
George Patton of World War II fame, who was born
on this day as well. It is Veterans Day, not

(02:42):
because of his birthday, but you know, but it is veteran.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
It is so.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Also National Origami Day.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Do you know anybody that practices the skillful Japanese paper
paper folding art of orgami? I forgot or a kami
was even a thing.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
It's a thing.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Well that's great. So you can take a piece of
paper and fold it into a beautiful swan. No, I
make paper airplanes sometimes on the boards, so I think
that counts. Is that where it started from?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah? Must have been probably? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right? Cool? Now this day in history, hang on
a second. Today is well National Sunday Day. Shouldn't Sunday
Day be on Sundays? You'd think, you know why it's
called a Sunday right, because it was on Sunday and
they were closed. There was some blue laws somewhere that
said you couldn't sell ice cream on Sundays, so a
way to get around that was not to call it
Sundays until somebody broke the law, and now we celebrate

(03:34):
that crime. Yeah, that sounds like a bad stalk. I mean,
I'm gonna have to agree with here, you.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Know, sound like America is just celebrating crime all the time.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Now because of Sundays, it's also National Indiana Day. Doesn't
that seem a little rude that Indiana would have their
day on Veterans Day?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
It is, that's very rude.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
And we'll tell you what. If you are a veteran,
stick around. We'll read you a list of places where
you can get free stuff or discounts coming up. And
it is Veterans Day because all this day in history
brought to you by law tigers.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
It was nineteen eighteen.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Wouldn't it have been great if it was nineteen eleven?
Because World War One ended on you know, you've heard
it before the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of
the eleventh month. They called it the War to end
all wars.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Turns out that wasn't true. It ever came up with
that little dumbain.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, it turns out we were not only was it
gonna get worse, we were going to make an industry
out of it.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, no kidding.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Today, in sixteen twenty Mayflower Compact was signed. So if
you ever compacted your Mayflower, that's how it was done.
Here we go today. In seventeen ninety, Chris Santhon moms
were introduced in England from China.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
By the way, spell that for me. Don't look at it, just.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
C Hry essay and thchmums.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Sure, okay, nobody knows.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Today, in eighteen thirty nine vm I, that's your Virginia
Military Institute founded in Lexington, Virginia. Today, in eighteen sixty four,
the destruction of Atlanta began. And today, in eighteen eighty nine,
Washington became the forty second state in our Union. So okay, then,
enjoy When do you think Indiana would be on the
list here, it's Indiana Day. Yeah, but as it's the
day they made the state, today's the day they made Washington.

(05:12):
Today's also the day that in nineteen twenty one, the
President Harding oversaw the dedication of the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. And that's why we play this music today.
Since then, they have figured out the Tomb of the
unknowns through genetic code, you know, testing and all that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Back when twenty three and meters was the thing. You
remember that when it before it went bankrupt.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, before they sold all your biometric data to China.
Ye hang on and playing the wrong song. Actually, I
wanted to play this song on this day. In nineteen
thirty eight, Kate Smith performed Irving Berlin's God Bless America
in public. Oh, Kimmy, must you? I don't think this
is really necessarily the authenticity is It's already there, It's

(05:53):
built in.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
We don't need this all.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Why why don't you like? Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh yeah, that's right. Oh.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Kate Smith was once the adele of her time, and
she famously sang God Bless America. But she also sang
a song called Picaninny Heaven. Now, by modern day standards,
if you just said that to me or someone in
my generation, I wouldn't know what that meant. No, you
wouldn't know, because we stopped saying it, well, most of
us anyway, a long time ago. It's a racist term.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Apparently.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
She also sang a song called and I'm just telling
you what it was called the song was called That's
why Darkies were born. Now, this gets a little complicated because,
sort of like Uncle Tom, while modern day people think
it's racist, there's some dispute among historians over whether or
not that song was anti racist. They were making a
satirical point about how black people deserved rights. But even

(06:42):
back then, people just didn't get that satire stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Sometimes we will say things here on the show and
obviously funny, you know, but sometimes people don't get that either. Anyway,
I don't know if Kate Smith was a racist or not.
The rules were different back then, but.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
So it don't really matter of me.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Sure, and someone decided that she was, so they canceled
her music. They used to play it at baseball games,
but now they know well man, partly because this younger
generation doesn't want to hear that. No, they want to
hear the Soviet national anthem today. In nineteen forty two,
Congress lowers the draft age to eighteen upper limit thirty seven.
That means I recently aged out. That's a shame. I'd

(07:21):
like to get drafted. Anyone will go fight comedy, I
sure do, I got it, Oh, I got an itch.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I imagine if they give you a gun and all
the ammunition you can carry.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I've got a gun.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, but did somebody give it to you?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Well, yeah, I got a gift as a gun once.
Someone gave it to me as a person.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's legal.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, you can give it good.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Could probably turn it into the to the law.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
No, you can give guns this gift. You know that
gun was not stolen by somebody and is responsible for
a murder in a bad neighborhood or something, because my
buddy George bought it for me.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's what he says.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
My real estate was a marine, man, I know he
knows about dunned. My real estate agent was so cool
that it is a marine. To thank me for using
him to buy my house, gave me a glock as
a gift. Isn't it cool? What's your real estate agent
give you a bottle of wine? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
The bench you don't even have it anymore. Let's get
to the bottom line here on this day in history.
The most important part we save a full lath, obviously,
because this is the biggest thing. Three years ago, Black Panther,
Wakonda whatever hit the big screen.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Baby, everybody went to see Black Panther. Am I right?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
I got a better one than that. No you don't,
Yeah I do. I do have a better one than that.
By the way, those are the elephants and hippos and
black panther. They didn't even look real. If they'd used AI,
it would have been so much better. But on this
day in nineteen seventy eight, them duke boys jumped generally
over a police car, and today in nineteen sixty pretty

(08:46):
often didn't they they did, but it happened today in
nineteen seventy eight for the first time.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
You go, replacing Kate Smith.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Now sorry, Today, in nineteen fifty three, the poliovirus is
identified in photographed for the first time. Today, in nineteen
sixty six, the US launched Gemini twelve or some spacecraft
into orbit, and today, in two thousand and four, the
Pete oh oh confirm the death of Yasser Era Fat.
The cause of death is still in question hmm, but
one thing is for sure.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
He got blowed up.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Well, we don't know quite how he died. Maybe chopped
a head off, maybe hit with some rocks. I don't
know whatever it was that killed him. One thing's for sure,
it definitely wasn't the American CIA that did it. Hell no, No, you're.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Not going to find your wife at the bar, you know.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
But you're also you're not going to find your wife
on a dating app, and you're not going to find
your wife through a day job.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
And you're not going to find your wife by like
joining a run club or having a hobby. And I'll
tell you why. It's because you are a gay man.
Walton and Johnson Radio Network's video.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, this is the last time I want to say
it on the air. If you want to watch the
video of me arguing with the communists, go look at
my Instagram account. My name's Kenny Webster. That's the easiest
way to find it. But that does bring me to
another topic I wanted to bring up. Do you know
a fun game you could play? You'll appreciate this, mister Kenneth.
If you want to embarrass someone on a date or
in a social gathering.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
When you know I do. That's all I look forward to.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
There's this thing you could do with the Instagram app
where you look at what the algorithms trying to show them,
challenge them to take their phone out and push the
second icon at the bottom here that looks like a
magnifying glass and it'll show you what Instagram thinks they
want to look at. And if your buddy clicks on
this and it's a bunch of dudes and speedos, he's gay.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Gay, so that's really helpful.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Well yeah, for you, it would be, yeah, I guess. So. Anyway,
it's a funny thing to do, especially in front of
co workers, because often is the case, there's something embarrassing there,
like lingerie or you know, something they didn't want people
to see, you know. Fun, fun for the whole office,
except the guy that's getting outed. Well, sure have you
seen Erica Kirk's latest hug? Once again? Just a harlot

(10:57):
is all we have here, is he's being sarcastic lai.
Yet people get mad when they don't figure out the
facetousness of the sarcasm. But yeah, oh my god, the
mainstream media has just gone off again because she hugged
some country guy and it looked really intimate.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Isn't it weird how all of her hugs look like that.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
She's a hugger. I don't know why people are so
obsessed with this.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Was it Geison alday?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Do people understand she's not an elected official? If you
don't like Erica Kirk, just don't support Turning Point USA.
I don't understand the outrage over this. Podcasters who got
murdered and people that hate his wife leave her alone. Yeah,
she's not trying to get your vote, none of that,

(11:44):
so it shouldn't bother you, concern you in any way.
I'm just I typed her name into Twitter just to
see what people are saying, and the first thing I
see is some guy named Umka. I don't know who
he is. His tweet's been shared hundreds of times, says he.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Was one of the last remaining Mohicans.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I don't think that's who it is. No, and he
posts a photo of Erica Kirk and the caption reads
no disrespect to widows.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
But Erica Kirk's grief grief.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
In quotations look straight out of a bad audition tape. Okay,
compared to what? When have you seen her sad before?
Show me what she's supposed to look like sad? You
don't know her exactly. What do you think she's supposed
to look like? What are you comparing her to? Nothing?
You didn't know who she was till this happened, and
now suddenly you just know that her oh her Sandus

(12:29):
looks insincere. Give me a break, people, Well, I will
tell you this. That guy Unkah or whoever he is,
when he goes, I don't think his wife's going to be.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Too sad either. Here's another one.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Someone goes, see what I did there? Yeah, yeah, jab him.
I got him, unless he doesn't have a wife or
not listening. The other day, Erica Kirk attended the swearing
in ceremony for the US ambassador and here's some guy
on X. His post has been shared thousands of times.
Why is Erica Kirk attending the swearing in ceremony for

(13:03):
the US Ambassador to India. Turns out there's an answer
to this.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh why was it?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well because the guy that the new guy his name
Sergio something. I didn't know who he was either, but
I looked him up. Turns out he was one of
Charlie Kirk's best friends. That's the reason, and he was
part of turning point USA. Well, you ask and you
find out why. But it didn't matter. This guy shared
thousands of times. People wanted to be like, yeah, you

(13:28):
lose her, stupid loser?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Why why why is Erica Kirk there? What do you
care who's.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
At the swearing in ceremony for the Indian ambassador. It
doesn't affect you, because shut up. That's why. Yeah, there
you go, because who gives it? Because you don't matter.
You couldn't matter less because she could go wherever she wants.
She's friends with everyone in that room. Leave her alone,
all right. It's National Recycling Week, so I asked groc

(13:55):
to give us a list of things to recycle. And
here's what we got.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
In honor of Sational Recycling Week, we want to remind
you of things that can be recycled, like bottles, certain
plastic containers, that white little table looking thingy in your
pizza box.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
What is that thing even called? I mean, do they
have a name for it?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
At the pizza place?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Does someone say we need more little white mouse tables?
You'd think the people who work at the recycling plant
see millions of those. What are the chances that those
little pizza tables would be made into a white plastic
patio table? That would be funny anyway, Remember to recycle.
It makes the world a better place. One pizza box,
white little table looking thingy at a time.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
M got little white things. By the way, Billy had
asked earlier if it was Jason Aldean. I don't know
how he knew that, but yes it was. It was
Jason Alden. And the reason the hug is so controversial
now is because in the picture or the video you
can see Jason Alden's wife, Britney, with a look on
her face, just.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Frozen in time.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
You have no idea what she was thinking about or whatever,
but during the hug, she has a look on her
face saying, if Lukes could kill oh, because this harlet
is trying to steal her husband. I bet that's not
what happened. I think everybody needs to get their own life.
When with that, we found five seconds of video footage

(15:14):
featuring Erica Kirk, Jason Aldeen, and his wife, and we
paused it at the exact specific split second when it
vaguely looked like it could be controversial exactly, and we
put that screenshot on social media so we could prove
the point that sometimes things are misleading. All you proved
is that you're a horrible person for doing this. Stop

(15:36):
another major celebrity news. This one is still rocking the country.
Kim Kardashian failed the bar exam, and she didn't bother
explaining why, because well, duh, she didn't need to. But
now we find out she's very mad at her psychic.
Because of her psychic, and apparently she has more than one.

(15:57):
They all told her that she would pass the bar exam.
How many psychics does she I don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
But she's rich, so she can have all she wants.
I guess.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Maybe her psychics are kind of like politicians that'll tell
you we're bringing the troops home by Christmas.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
They don't say which Christmas.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Maybe they say she'll pass the bar exam later. I
didn't mean you'd pass it the first time. No, yeah,
they never tell you when. I guess because if they
told you when, yeah, they're gonna pin it down.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, exactly. That's a terrible idea, all right.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
On Sunday, sixty Minutes got caught lining to people twice.
This is how awful sixty minutes has become. First, sixty
Minutes did a segment where they talked to Margaret Atwood.
Does anyone know who that is? Before I explain who
it is, I.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Know Atwood family pretty well. I don't know Margaret.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I don't think you know this woman. No, oh, she
wrote the book, The Handmaid's Tale. Oh yeah, I'm familiar
with her. She's a really old lady.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
They did a segment on the show about how her
book was banned. Here's what it reads. Margaret Atwood, author
of sixty four books, including The Handmaid's Tale, has seen
her books banned for content deemed overly sexual, amorally corrupt,
and anti Christian.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Sound good, Yeah it's not true though. Oh none of
them too bad.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
None of her books are banned. Maybe you can't get
them in a Christian high school library, but that doesn't
mean you can't go buy them at You know, Barnes
and Noble did sixty minutes say they were banned here
in this country. Maybe they're banned in Iran. Here's what
they said.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Here she is taking a flamethrower to her own book.
Atwood was firing back. It would be book burners by
torching an unburnable edition. It was all promotion for a
charity auction to benefit Pan America, a nonprofit that champions
free speech.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
I'll bet it don't.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Atwood's books have been banned for content deemed overly sexual,
morally corrupt, anti Christian. She told us she was particularly
peeved when a recent band came from Edmonton, Alberta. In
her own country, can A.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
Government put out an edict to all school board saying
that they couldn't have any books in the library if
that had either direct or indirect sex. Why does indirect
sex second wave feminism? Here?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
All right?

Speaker 5 (18:15):
She would speak, so, she writes with a mix of
wisdom and deadpan wit. Last month she invited us into
her Toronto.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Hartapausit right here. So you can't buy this book in Canada.
That's what she claims, as I mentioned earlier jokingly. But
you people didn't get my sarcasm, as you often criticize
others or not.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Perhaps her book.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Is banned elsewhere, and so sixty minutes didn't lie. This
is the same as the troops are Coming Home by
Christmas Story band, where they're not saying banned in America
band in Nebraska, they're just saying the book was banned. Okay, Well,
I just threw it into my AI software.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Here.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
You can buy The Handmaid's Tale in Alberta, Canada. Maybe
it was removed from some public library in schools. You
know what, Penthouse magazine is apparently banned in schools as well.
See That's where I'm going with this. When you start
making that argument, suddenly you're making the argument against banned
books to defend pornography for kids.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
And that's really what this is about cigarettes alcohol.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I bet Canadians probably banned that from junior high schools.
All right, This was one of two times Sixty Minutes
just blatantly lied in one of their main stories on Saturday.
On Sunday Night. The other time was this. They were
talking about the government shutdown and lack of funding for
medical research, because during a government shutdown, you get how
that works. Harvard researcher Joan Bridge says her work has

(19:36):
the potential to prevent breast cancer, but she was notified
last spring that her federal funding was terminated because of DOGE,
and then terminated again because the government shut down. They
interviewed her for a minute. We're talking to the American public.
What would your research do for them?

Speaker 7 (19:53):
My research has the potential to prevent their daughters and
their wives and their cousins from developing breast cancer. All right,
So I don't think any taxpayer.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
I'm gonna pausit right here. So about that.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
This tweet was actually seen by the guy who did
the research that she's citing. The guy's name is Jason Lacassel,
and he writes on Twitter, I am actually the lead
and corresponding author on the most cited research paper of
this person's career. Someone told me about this sixty minute
segment today, so I verified it. The claim that her

(20:26):
work has any substantial effect on breast cancer is a
dramatic overstatement. Like much of what's being presented in this
sixty minute segment, It's a pr narrative designed to grab money.
It's dishonesty from these institutions about what technology from the
life sciences can actually do, and it says more about
the way universities griff the public for sympathy and funding
than anything about science itself. Not only was this woman

(20:50):
not doing any of the research, she was citing another
research study, and the guy that wrote that study happens
to be a prominent scientist on social media who pointed
out that the real search in this study isn't going
to cure breast cancer.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
You know what you need for this, uh? You need
visual effect.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
You need you need some uh some thumbtacks and some
yawn and a bulletin board and and you draw uh,
you know the different areas where this all connects and
coin size together.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Oh you mean like a Candice Orange podcast, yead like that. Yeah.
There is no one more sympathetic than I to the
plight of the large breasted woman.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Wolton An Johnson
