Way Corrigan Day. What is that?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That's silly. It doesn't mean anything, World Emoji Day. It

your time and telling your grandpa today is National Wrong
Way Corrigan Day and Nash and World Emoji Day. You

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Nineteen thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
July seventh, nineteen thirty eight, Irish American stunt pilot and
mechanic Douglas Corgan took off wrong way from Floyd Bennett
Field in Brooklyn with the stated intent of flying back
to Long Beach, California.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Thought we weren't going to and now we are.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
In stead, he flew to Dublin, Ireland. Wouldn't you notice
you're flying over an ocean? Though apparently he didn't look
down much. Huh, maybe he was scared of heights. All right,
you got any more? And do you want to do today?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
No, it's well past time for this day in history.
Well who brought it to us?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I'm glad you asked? Lawtigers? Lawtigers dot Com. That's the
same guy, eight hundred law tigers. Aren't they wonderful people today?
In eighteen twenty one, Spain gives us the keys to Florida.
It was a formal handle the finger. No, they probably
did that, du No, this is way before soccer today.
In eighteen sixty one, Congress authorizes the Treasury to issue
paper currency.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Boo, is it like because of the Civil War.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
It's called fiat currency, and it's fake. It's useless, it
has no value, and they're using it to create inflation
to destroy the economy. Milton Friedman said, get back on
the gold standard, and.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
He was right. Has anybody else heard about this or
should we be alerting somebody?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I've been talking about it since this radio show first
hired me, and I think John did too first.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I've heard of it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Nobody ever listens to us. Nobody ever listened except for
millions of people today. In nineteen forty five, the Potsdamn
Conference began in England, America and Russia.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well we have those pots I know.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Today in nineteen fifty five, Disneyland opened, and today, in
nineteen sixty, the US pilot Francis gary Powers pleads guilty
to spying in a Moscow court.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh no, yeah, I know, I like that. I'm one,
nineteen seventeen. On this day. We talk about it occasionally.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
One hundred and nine years ago, the British royal family
decided to up and change their name from something really
Germany to something as sounded more england Y. You could
see why, right, Yeah, because that was a touch that
German thing. Even in nineteen seventeen, they were acting up.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Not like the Germans.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Apparently that was the first time they declared world the
world didn't the end wale, so they decided to do
it again later.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I don't know if you're a history buff or not,
but you'd have thought that'd a bit of a short fiasco.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
No dumborton quite a while.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Today, in nineteen sixty seven, Jimmy Hendrix drops out as
an opening act for the Monkeys.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It was probably smart.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Jesse Jackson delivers his Rainbow Coalition speech on this day
in nineteen eighty four at the DNC and Sanford Cisco,
and weirdly enough, even though it involved San Francisco and rainbows,
it wasn't that gay, not at all.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
There were way more gay things happening at that time.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Today, in nineteen ninety six, you'll remember the TWA flight
eight hundred, Oh yeah, eight hundred that was a miss
blew up mid air right over Long Island. Why no,
we don't know, We don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Nobody knows. If somebody knows, they just didn't want you
to know.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
They didn't want you to know because you know, how
they are wink wink, nudge, nudge.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Is that it is? That it for the state of history.
Because I have something very exciting to ask you today.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
In twenty twenty four, the stock market closed above forty
one thousand for the first time. Today it said fifty
two five hundred and fifty two. Maybe forthted inflation is
a little out of control.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
What did you want to say? You have a take,
That's all I'm saying. All Right, what do you got?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
How much would you if you had the money? Let's
say you were Donald Trump. You got Donald Trump's money,
but you're you. How much would you pay for Luke
Skywalker's Lightsaber?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
A Disney product? I guess it's worth probably worth.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
A million dollars something to guess the Empire strikes back
is where he was using his you know, lightsaber. That's
when he had the black outfit and Uh, they just
had an auction and set a new record for screen
use Star Wars prop. Yeah, three point seven five million dollars.
(09:53):
That's about what I would expect. You had a million
right way off. It was almost four million, and you
said one million. It's not even close. I'd expect seven digits.
Well on that note. You know, Disney does own that
now and today. In nineteen fifty five, Disneyland first open.
But did you know that before they opened Disneyland, there
was a more evil, nefarious Disney park that they tested
out on audiences and it didn't.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Go very well. I had no idea. Yeah, they even
did a documentary about it on the BBC.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Disney had actually looked at land in the north shore
of Lake poncer Train, you know, way back, and I
guess even then the politicians were like, uh, yeah, well,
you're going to have to grease these palms a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And so he headed off to the east, right, And
then they went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
In the mid twentieth century year nineteen forty eight, seven
years before Walt Disney opened Disneyland in California, he tested
his theme park concept on a small community in rural Oklahoma.
They called it the Okey Dokey Disney Voyage. Until now,
very few people in the general public knew about this experiment,
(10:59):
and for good reason, it was a total disaster. After
years of research, we've located and interviewed the now elderly
people who visited this park has children. Their stories are terrifying.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
As soon as you entered the park, you were greeted
by a drunk Frenchman claiming he was Donald Duck. He
was dressed in a fighter pilot uniform from World War Two,
didn't look a thing like Donald Duck. Get a flask
in his hand, and if you wanted to enter the
park you had to take a big swig. That French
duckman made sure we were drunk before we even went
(11:36):
on a single ride.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The rides weren't safe. They just weren't.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
When you got to the top of Splash Mountain, you
just fell. If there was any splash at all, it
was certainly coming from your own blood. I remember being
excited for Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
You got a.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Real gun to shoot the pirates with us kids were safe,
but the pirates were gunners.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean, they weren't real. They were actors, but we
didn't realize that as kids.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Except what's the matter Colonel Sanders.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Chicken Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
BELLI he's besmirching as what whoa they're at foolishness. I
don't expect most of our audience to know who comedian
Laura Clary is, but she has millions of followers on
social media, and she was frequently appeared on a TV show.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Called Two Broke Girls. She's kind of a cute, but she.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Wasn't one of the stars of the Two Broke Girls though, right,
she wasn't one of the two Girls now but no,
but she fit right in on that show. She was
that kind of an actress. We quit watching. Everybody quit
watching that show. I remember specifically when they made slanderous
comments about the state of Texas and they lost most
(12:58):
of their audience about that point. But there was also
another episode where she said she was into butt stuff.
It was very profane for a primetime TV show on
a major network. Oh, anyway, this actress actor comedian Laura
Clary got taken away on a stretcher the other day.
(13:19):
Oh no, was the explosive diarrhea. No, she was taken
away in an ambulance after she was crushed by a
six hundred pound refrigerator fell on her while she was
at home with her two children.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Uh, well, still beats been crushed by a buffalo. That's true.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It's not buffalo bad, but I don't think i'd want
either if I had no choice.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Was she trying to rocket?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
She said her worst nightmare was being seriously hurt while
she was alone with her kids, and so it is
what happened. Apparently it had a massive It was a
French door fridge. What does that mean, mister Kenneth. I
think that means that do this, oh like that instead
of like this?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
H I guess yway, it's like two sides.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
He means to say that it's instead of being a
top and bottom, it's a left and right.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You're more of a top and bottom guy, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well there's a bottom, there's the top, but the top
goes like this left and right, open, open wide. So
she had this massive French door fridge that's supposed to
be mounted into the wall, and she saw it started
shifting after her son climbed it. Well, she see, I
know somebody would like the coke machines that fall over
on people.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You you was tipping it, wasn't you. You was gibbing it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, So she went to push it back into its place,
and it fell on top of her.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
She said.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Didn't land on the kid though, huh, she said, quote
not in a way where I could catch it or
jump out of the way. It just fell the full
weight of it slammed me backward into the kitchen island,
pinning my lower back and hips. I couldn't move. I
tried to push it off, and I didn't. It didn't
even slightly budge. It felt like pushing against a building,
so it didn't crush her on the floor. It pinned
(14:54):
her against the island, which was just across. You know,
usually have a three to four foot space between the
island and the cabinetree against the wall, but that refrigerator's tall,
so it leaned out and it had her pinned back
like that against the island.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
That's that's very painful. Yeah, she said.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
She could soon feel it quote getting harder to inhale,
and she recalled being trapped and quote thinking this is
the dumbest way anyone has ever died end quote. But
she did manage to get her phone out of her
pocket to call nine one one. Ultimately took three firemen
to pull the fridge off of her when she got
to the hospital, three grown ass firemen California Billy, Uh yeah, yeah,
(15:37):
Clari said. When she got to the hospital, her doctor
was shocked that she had not broken any bones. She
is a skinny, little blonde thing, pretty bindy and flexible apparently. Yeah,
a cute girl, She says.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I'm home now.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I'm bruised, I'm sore, it hurts to walk, and I
feel like I got hit by a truck that also
lives in my kitchen.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
But I'm okay. My kids are okay, everyone's okay. Do
you recognize this particular refrigeral.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yes, Steve's got that refrigerator in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's the one I'm pointing out.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
We used the French door fridge all the time in
uh in Purgatory, Colorado. Well, now that I know it's French,
I don't like it as much. Yeah, that that is
a little upsetting. Yeah, usually I don't trust things that
are French. And I know what you're about to say.
It has filtered water, which is nice, and they all
have that. And I know what you're about to say.
But Kenny isn't your dog French? No, No, he's a
(16:25):
German Jewish. Oh sorry, it was a Jews, the only
religion that's also a race. I don't know why he's
a Jewish. They made the rules, yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
What I heard.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I heard they make all the rules. Right.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, I ain't control the weather as we've been told
over and over again. So earlier this morning, we was
talking about, you know, the uh, Save America Act, which
ain't gonna save nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You heard what they plan on doing with that.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Now they can't pass the Save America Act where they
you know, do the thing where all the states are
supposed to crack down on voting so that they want
to pass it, and nobody else sees a way for
it to pass get the number of votes they need
in the Senate. So they've decided what they'll do is
they'll they'll just make it where you can decide whether
(17:12):
you want to do it or not dot it.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
What do they call that? Voluntary?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I thought maybe he'd you know, say that word you
want him to do it. You thought he would be
able to figure it out. That's what I said. Okay,
they're gonna make it voluntary. Actually, you're happy now.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I know.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
He's got a good point.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
When Billy d says it like that, you sound stupid, now,
mister Kenneth. What well he was saying the same thing
as you. You just forced your words on him. That
was like word rape. Oh dear lord, yeah, I know.
And now it's in. Now it's involuntary. Shame on you,
mister Kenneth. See what I'm saying exactly Now, you're the predator,
he's the prey. How do you feel now, mister Kenneth,
you bully. I should probably leave early today and just
(17:53):
get the hell out of here and apologize everyone all
the way out by Oh no, no, no, you have
to stay at work.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Actually do yeah, let them go? Yeah, what are you doing?
Why are you stopping them? Well? Were we talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh, save American?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
So they want to make a voting security voluntary state
by state. That's what it is. Now, what are you
going to pass a new law to say? This law
is just like the old law. This law is our law. Obviously,
a lot of states are deciding not to volunteer for
the project of keeping their their voting records safe and
(18:30):
clean and legal. Look, they waited till now, at the
peak of the summer to try to pass this thing
right before an election.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Everyone's too distracted, there's too much going on, and it's
too gosh dang hot outside. Yeah, gosh dug. A lot
of the country is under a heat dome. A heat dome.
Billy ed Oh, and.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
The smoke Dome. Don't forget we have the smoke from
Canadian fires. It is smoky almost to a well.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
In some cases it is to a dangerous level for
the from Chicago all the way to New York City.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I hate all those places I know. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
They say it's bad for some, but you know what
they're not telling you it For other people, it's good.
Speaker 3 (19:10):

close to you told us that you didn't just marry
him for the visa. They said ilan Omar did not
have to sleep with her Somali pirate brother after marrying him,
but she did many times. Everyone in our community knows this.
