The Unsettling Tariff Rebate - WED 8.1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All of you.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is soul music. If I'm not mistaken, mister ell
am I right, yeah, you're right. James Brown said, every
instrument is a drum if you think about it.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
The trumpet, the bass, guitar.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
You're just gonna play it hard.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
You work that thing, bro, This is good. Do they
just right? This is a really cool song's.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Brand new stuff. This is you cutting it, bro.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
This is genius. Man.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I don't mean to brag, but I just discovered this
band and put him on the radio.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Man, you demand you never heard a song like this before,
Never in my wildest dreams.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
What's this song called? It's Your Thing?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Does that even make sense?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't know. I like it.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Hi, everybody, good morning. If you're just what it's it's
the top of the hour, which means some people are
just joining us.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Right yeah. Can you imagine if you slept and you
just recently woke up. I mean, that's two nights worth
of sleep for somebody like us.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, now that you mention it, what would one do
if they had a missed part of the show and
wanted to catch up with us?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Huh? I wonder if there's any way possible to go
back in time.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
No, there's not, but there is a smartphone app. It's
the closest thing we have.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
We don't have a DeLorean, so we had an app.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
What's this called the Isley Brothers get us Domed. So
they're doing a cover of the song we just heard.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
That must be it, yeah, because they're doing an issue thing.
Do what you want to do?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
How do you feel about who's your hysteria?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Mister Row, I ain't got it.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
In Indiana, they treat high school basketball like how we
treat high school football down here in Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It's like a religion.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah. They are actually kind of a leaning into college
football now. Pretty good since Indiana's technically still number two
in college football, even though they had a close call
with their last game and the Aggies just blew away
their team, but nobody wanted to put the Aggies ahead
of them, so they stayed it at number two.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Now, if I'm not mistaken, the Aggies are undefeated. I mean,
that's amazing, That's what I'm saying. That's incredible. And in
the meantime, in the world of basketball, the Indiana Pacers
kind of suck right now, mister Row, Is that right?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well? Yeah, as a matter of fact, the embarrassing the state,
which is NBA stuff going on now? You know, got
the standings work in the NBA Apparently right now Indiana
has one win, one and ten one and one of
them that is that's embarrassing. You know who else has that? Washington?

(02:20):
But they big in basketball. Indiana got basketball what they
call it fever? Yeah, who's your hysteria? Are hoops hysteria?

Speaker 4 (02:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Hoops?

Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, they don't call it that. They don't call it that,
mister Kenna.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
They call it who's your daddy?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
No, who's your hysteria? Stop doing that? You know what
I would do. I've got a solution for him.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
By the way, in the meantime, San Antonio and Houston
battling out for number one in the Southwest Division. Oklahoma
City eleven and one. See, that's a much better record
eleven wins one loss versus one loss or one win.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Like I'm just saying, I could solve all of Indiana's
problems right now. One is Big Step, one of the
greatest bad basketball players in the history of the game,
who happens to hail from Indiana, isn't even on a
team right now.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
And I happen to know.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
He's gonna get that boy hired.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, he's good too. He's probably the greatest basketball player
who ever lived.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Uh, some people might not know who you talk about.
You might have to clear that up for us.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I am talking about him none other than hoopball legend
Larry Bird.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
That was who you were talking about.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Larry Bird's not on a team this season. He's not
doing anything, n just laying around. Yeah, Larry Bird is available.
Now I know what I'll ho Are you thinking, but Kenny,
he's sixty eight years old. Yeah, but Indiana Pacers suck
right now? Exactly how much worse could they be if
they put at least people would buy tickets. You're telling
me you wouldn't buy a ticket to go see Larry
Bird play basketball in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well, I thought i'd even buy that tig.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I would buy that ticket.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
By the way, when you said Theagi's undefeated, is that
like you were saying that like Indiana ain't, but they
actually got a tune and no record in the agg
he's only nine and oh now that's you know partly
default of is heaa because Aggie thing played but nine games?
But they have one of them all. That's that's how
that works so far. Yeah, ten and oh that's Indy. Well,

(04:10):
but screw I hope they they don't have to play
other teams in the toughest division of the land like
the Aggies do in Alabama and Georgia and you know,
Mississippi and all the mother ones.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, that's something all right.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, that being said, have you guys heard about the
two thousand dollars tariff rebate that Trump want.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
We talked about this earlier. Yeah, I've already spent mine.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
They're not.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't think you're gonna get one, billy ed. What
do you mean, I'm a I'm a citizen of America.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
They're not calling it a stimulus track, even though that's
exactly what it is. They're calling it a tariff rebate.
I hate this. This is not going to do anything
good for our economy. Over the weekend, Trump suggested that
Americans may receive at least two thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Could I donate mine to the national debt?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
That was what I thought.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'd like to just give my two thousand dollars to
lower the debt. Oh, look, I lowered it thirteen seconds
ago and it already ate my two thousand dollars. That's
how fast it's going up. All right.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
If you make more than seventy five K a year
as an individual, or more than one hundred and fifty
K a year as a married couple, you ain't getting squat.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well that's the that's the what's the numbers again?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Seventy five thousand dollars a year if you're single, one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year if you're married,
If you were in that much money or more, you're
getting zero dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Okay, now I know what you're thinking, but I'm still
doing the math. But Walton and Johnson, cha're talking about
the money that I say I make or the money
that I actually make. Oh, I mean sorry.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
The money that you make.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeh.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Look, this is just once again another example of people
that pay too much into the system get don't get
to benefit from it, and the people that are contributing
nothing get what they get to contribute to inflation.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
How does this help anything?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Well, well, they say, and if you make one hundred
and fifty thousand a year as a.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
As a couple, you and your wife or husband.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Or yeah, you make a home. You of the millionaires
and the billionaires that need to be taxed. That's who
you are see now, the people in Washington, these politicians
up there to run the country, they make less than
two hundred thousand a year, and they are millionaires and billionaires.
So they must assume if I make one hundred and

(06:18):
fifty thousand a year between two of us, I'm also
a millionaire, a billionaire, or I'm doing it wrong somehow.
I know.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's frustrating.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
We don't have the same investment acumen as those representatives
and senators.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Isn't it interesting how the greatest stock trader of all
time is former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Who expected that? I mean, her skills lie in a
different area, and yet she seems to be so naturally
talented at investing.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I know, she's so good at it.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
And just when you thought the Pelosis were going to
go away, her daughter announces she's running for state senate
in California.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh that took all the excitement out of her retirement,
didn't it?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Good news? Everybody there? The Pelosis aren't going away?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yay?

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Oh boy, who's excited about that?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
There's this a daughter herd what's her name.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
That Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Nancy Christine?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well there's Christine, Alexandria, and Nancy Koren.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
I think Christine was the one announced he was gonna
run for some Yeah, Christine Pelosi watcher. Does she have
the Biggins like mama?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I thought Nancy's were fake? What's them?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I'm sure they are, but they are still Biggins. Guys
have emailed us about Pelosi retire and said, I'm gonna
miss the twins. Well, you know, it's not like you
hung out with Nancy Pelosi anyway. You get to see
them like we all do if you search for the
picture on the internet.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
And she'd hardly cover them up with some kind of
a pantsy.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
You know, that one picture of the beach in Italy,
that's the one that everybody is remarking on.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Does nothing for me. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I used to have to think about baseball. Now I
just think about Nancy Pelosi and just think about who
they're attached to. Hey, you know, speaking of he has
a husband, and some have claimed he has a boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I have no idea if that's true. I'm not suggesting that.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
But there's a news story today about a Missouri pastor
who says he's taking a second wife, and he says,
it's actually, there's nothing in the Bible that says you
can't have multiple wives. There's not he's right about that yet.
But you said you searched it.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
But it does sound exhausting, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
The Bible never demands monogamen. God never demands it. The
Bible never prohibits polygyny, and the shock of many. God
compares David's lawful marriages marriage is plural, with his unlawful
union with best Sheba in order to indicate that he
had done the wrong thing.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Does Sheba.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
A lot of that? This kind of slightly wrong unless
you squint your ears a little bit.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Protestant Pastor rich Tidwell reason with a D. Yep, with
a D.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
No, yeah the other way.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, he's good. He's given that D to his two wives.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
He recently revealed he's taken a second wife and that
she's pregnant with what will be his eighth child.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
And now congratulations to him. I think the two.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Guy in the NBA.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Oh, he's a preacher, okay in Missouri.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
In a follow up sermon after his announcement, he shares
that he was inscribed. He was inspired by King David's example.
He says, I don't think there's anything Christian about.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
There doesn't Doesn't it say that God made us in
his own image somewhere in the Bible?

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yea?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Then I think God probably assumed he didn't need to
put it in writing. He just figured if we were
made in his own image, we'd be smart enough not
to want more than one wife. And why do you
say has common sense?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah? I have to agree with you. That's what a
gun sounds like. Walton and Johnson.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's been fun to watch the reactions from people in
the elitist left get mad about the Democrats folding and
the government shutdown this week. It has been very entertaining.
It's not what you would have expected. I did not
think the Republicans would win. Now that being said, this
whole Hemp thing proves that they're probably not as smart.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
As we hope. We ain't winning nothing.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know, it's liberty, it's basic freedom, even if you
don't want to consume the products. Why should they be
criminalized when we hand out opioid to military veterans and
encourage them to kill themselves.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Well, because the government is so much more than the
rest of us. The government, See, they know what's right
and what's wrong, what's best, what's bad. The government is
doing this for your own good, can't he? That's all sure?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Well, all that being said, I've watched a lot of
the reactions the view the problem, you know, Don Lemon
and all the different liberal cable news house. The funniest
reaction to the government shutdown ending and the Democrats folding.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Is easily Zach Woods. It's what Zach Woods. He's got
the best take. I don't know him, mean neither. It
turns out Zach Woods is the real name of the
actor from the Office that played Gabe Lewis. Oh, that
real tall guy on Silicon Valley. He it's Jared Dunn.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Okay, I guess he's prominent on social media.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
He makes tiktoks.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm not on TikTok because I'm not a twelve year old,
but I am on Twitter and Instagram, and so I
found this on a different platform.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
In light of the Democratic Senator's failure to protect American's healthcare.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
A lot of people are asking what is this party
even good for?

Speaker 5 (11:18):
I'm here to answer that they are the party for
people like me, the clumsy and the cowardly. If I
saw an old lady across the street getting jack for
her medication outside of pharmacy, I would fake a FaceTime call,
act like I didn't see, go back to listening to
Malcolm Gladwell make a bull Ow podcast, and run to
the nearest bathroom, where I would hide out until I

(11:38):
was sure.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
It was over.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
While I was in there, i'd probably have to pee,
and then I dropped my phone in the urinal, and
then I would zip my wiener up in my own pants.
I'd go home to my disappointed girlfriend and have sex
where it was all just sneezing in mouthguards and thumbs,
because that's how I do it. You know, we've all
had the thought only IDs we're a political party, Well,

(12:02):
guess what it is. It's the Democrats. They're willing to
heroically craft their pants at a moment's notice that we've
just witnessed. And now we have a new Mount Rushmore
of camps, the eighth of eighth senators. God bless you guys,
and I just never felt more represented in my life.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
So thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
On behalf of the warm.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
People Okay, it makes perfect sense.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Now let me ask you this, for those of us
who don't watch that view and and all that CNN crap,
because you know you do that so I don't have to.
Is there a place where one of us could maybe
enjoy the Democrat meltdown without having to actually watch all
those shows?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, So my favorite platform has always been X because
it's a great place for real time news. Tweets don't
last long, they don't age well, but neither do news stories.
On Twitter, You're not going to see content from seven
months ago or even seven hours ago.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Usually stuff recycles very quickly. Yeah. I wasn't really thinking
about running people away from the show to go get
on Twitter or TikTok or whatever. I was thinking, maybe
wouldn't be nice if we could provide that for them,
you know here, Oh, they could just keep listening to
this award winning, you know, multi international hit radio show.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
You know, I got to admit, usually I'm good at
hooring us out, and I kind of dropped the ball there.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Can we do them all again? Ask me that question again.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Where could somebody like me who doesn't watch all those
crappy shows find out what it sounds like when the
Democrats have their meltdown.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
You know, it's great, and we offer you the convenience
of hearing all this stuff without even having to look
at their disgusting, putred liberal faces.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Nobody wants to look at a feminist.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, we can do to Yeah that sounds complicated.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
No, it's easy.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
You have like a lot of hard work, really easy.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
You download the Wall in Johnson's smartphone app, and because
it's an audio based medium, you can look.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
At your work or the road while you're driving.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
And we certainly aren't going to show you Joy Behar's
disgusting face. Nobody wants to look at a feminist.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
But if there were clips, let's say, of some of
these shows back to back to back, wouldn't that suffice?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
What what is he asking? Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Clips from those shows? Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Like a montage? That's what we're Did we have a montage?
And I forget what we do?

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, did we have a montage?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Like being a dentist. What are you queuing me up for?
I'm missing the I think you had a montage video,
but I haven't played it on the air.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Let's see, do we I I'll tell you what We'll
play it coming up, because I'll admit that I don't
have that available right now.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
In the meantime, we have some very serious activity taking
place up in space.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I don't know if you're you know, available to deal
with it or not.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, I have no sexuality. I'm not interested in procreation.
I will tell you I am gay for space space.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
And now the Walton and Johnson Show presents gay for Space.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yes, my dream of living on Mars is one day closer.
Every day that passes.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
We all dream of you living on Mars someday.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Who could blame you? And this report's brought to you.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
By thankfully, it is brought to us by Dragos Restaurant. Man.
Let me tell you, I don't care what you had
for breakfast. It wasn't as good as what you could
get at Dragos unless you were at Dragos. They do
that breakfast in Mattery that is smoking good right there.
But all the food's good all the time at Dragos.

(15:25):
If you want to try it yourself, you know there's
a bunch of them all around.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
You can find a map at Dragos restaurant dot com.
They got him planned, They got him in Shreeport, Bowsure Lake, Charles.
If you're in Houston, that's a great weekend tripped because
head over there, hang at the casino, get some Dragos
Jackson Mississippi's got one.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
We had an email just recently from a guy listens
to us in Waco, Texas. I go there and he
was in Lake Charles for something, an event of some kind,
wedding perhaps, and so he thought, well, I'm here. You know,
I'm gonna try that Dragos Walton Child story he's talking about.
And it was closed. You know, you got to check
ahead of time see if they got regular days that

(16:02):
they're opening closed. So check Dragos restaurant dot com for
those details.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
But did he break in and make his own?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well, it's not the same unless they do it for you.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
It's true. It is better when they do it. All right,
I got one real quick, and then I want to
hear yours. Elon Musk SpaceX swooped in Monday to complete
Florida's ninety fourth lift off of the year, breaking the
state's yearly record for launches in place previously held by
Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin. Yeah, Elon just gave the giant
middle finger, and he's also proud to announce there is
a new cheap, affordable Starlink plan if you want to

(16:34):
get unlimited internet wherever you go. I won't that one
hundred mbps. It's forty bucks a month now and it
works almost anywhere. It's incredible every month. Yeah, this is
not a commercial for it. We're not getting paid to
promote it. I will say that t Mobo's got starlink.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah you can. You can catch it to the phone there.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I'm only promoting it because I think Elon Musk is cool.
I don't care if you guys do or don't. I
think he's cool, excellent news, and I support him. Now,
what do you got, Well, this is a little bit bigger.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
We seem to be in a rush to get off
of this planet and go out and meet the aliens
on their home ground. But a lot of us are
lazier than that, and to say, let's sit tight wait
for the aliens to get here. And they're getting close.
Apparently the mere Cat radio telescope out of South Africa,
the space researchers have detected hydroxyl radicals hydroxyl radical around

(17:22):
that Atlas asteroid or whatever the hell it is that
we've been watching fly through space. Remember when it went
around behind the sun shot back out the other side.
We've been keeping a telescope on it. Now. These distinct
radio signatures as you know that the meer cat can
pick up pretty much. Lets you know that this is

(17:45):
not natural and normal. They said, if this was just,
you know, a natural occurrence in space, that'd be one thing.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
It's unnatural.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
But when they say it's it's you know, if it
was just a natural thing, that would be something that
if this comet or asteroid or whatever it is is
a natural that the jets should move much more slowly
and would require months to reach the distances it's reaching.
But instead, the mass, the density, the brightness, all of

(18:16):
these things suggest something unusual is happening. All right, let
me ask you this, sup don't tell me it's slowing down?

Speaker 3 (18:25):
What I think?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
That's what happened on one of those space shows where Star.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Trek they were what no, Star Wars now, Babylon five
now Team Space nine.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
That was Bottle Stargalactica. Yeah, that was probably it. Boston
Spabe Is that one that Jodie Foster was in? Oh, Alien, No,
that's the Gordy Weaver that one.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
How can you tell the difference.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I don't know, no idea. But at some point they
said they were watching, you know, a comet flying through space,
and they said, well, you're you're still observing it, right,
I said, yes, sir, Well what's the problem. Then? Uh,
they were telling the President it slowed down. Wow, means
that somebody's driving it or something is driving it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Aliens, demons, yes, ghosts, yes, all of the above.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Chat GPT.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, luckily we got the space telescopes trained on this
bad boy, and we're watching it, and we're taking measurements
and we're doing all kinds of stuff. So two things.
Either it's aliens driving this thing around trying to see
if we're worth investigating, or we're just not really as
good as we thought we were explaining all of these
weird space things that happen.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I can't believe it. I can't believe outer space. It's
just as gay and retarded as Earth is.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
How about that? Why are you so gay for space?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
This space probe? I love the space probe dater Will Robinson,
Danger Wolton, and Johnson
