What Happened to Kenny’s Back - WED 9.2

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Agree or disagree. I'm kind of a pretentious indie rock douchebag.
Oh sure, I'll own it. Yeah, I own that.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's not an insult. It's you. That's what you chose.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Normally, I hate when conservatives do what I'm about to do.
Conservatives will tell you, oh, there's this concert with these
bands to promote this politician I don't like, and then
they'll read the bands, and then they'll go, who like
it makes them sound like they're cool because they don't
know these guys. Yeah, I know all the obscure bands.
I'm very good at that. Indie music artists are coming

(00:33):
out to hold rallies for Zorhan Mom Donnie in New
York City, and the concerts will feature bands like Wild Pink,
Christian Lee, Hudson, Palehound, Katie Kirby, Lower Town, and Gift.
Who exactly did I do? Guys, I'm telling you, I'm
pretty good at understanding the obscure upcoming rock bands. I

(00:55):
don't know any of these guys. And I checked and
I looked, and I looked at our data where.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
And you're not just saying that to sound cool, No,
I really wanted to know. I really don't know I.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Really pride myself on knowing all the bands that no
one else knows.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Andy, It's just that you're not familiar with all the
commy pinko sympathizing bands out there.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Surprisingly I am. I do know all the commedy. You
wouldn't admit to that.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
I'm pretty remember. They recently had the Glastonbury Festival in
the UK and Rod Stewart performed with a bunch of
bands and when we looked at the lineup, nobody in
the room knew who any of them were. Except for me.
I knew every one of them. Ah, I do not
have that experience when I read this lineup, and this
is in America. But if I know the obscure bands anyway,

(01:42):
I'll let it go. But I just I find this
so odd. It's a story today in Breitbart about all
the bands getting behind Zorhan Mom Donnie, And after years
of telling conservatives to stop being proud of the fact
that they don't know the new upcoming music artist, I'm
starting to feel like Billyett here while I look at
this thing, feels good, don't it?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Not at all?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Or yes, I don't know indie rockers for a better
Tomorrow they're calling it. It's a pro mom Donnie rally
featuring Islamic commie fascists and dirty hipsters and bands that
didn't have enough money to record a demo. So anyway,
that's a thing. I also thought this was funny. Jimmy
Kimmel is getting ready to self deport himself. It sounds

(02:22):
like they're going to cancel his show next.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is he the one that just became Italian?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, Jimmy's Italian now, which means MO has to love him.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
He did a podcast with Sarah Silverman. He talked about
how he got his Italian citizenship, and then in the
same interview he pointed out how a lot of these
pop culture celebrities are actually driving people away from the
Democrat Party with their snoodiness and their pretentiousness. And I
couldn't help but wonder, does he not know that he's

(02:52):
one of them?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, apparently not. He's totally unaware.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
He's like, you know, Democrats are actually kind of shooting
themselves in the foot because there's when they shame people
for doing stuff that normal people are doing. They're driving
people away from the Democrats. Anyway, I'm applying for citizenship
in Italy because it's so awful in America right now?
Are you not? And what don't you all have a
TV show in la or is that just getting canceled.

(03:18):
Actor Dean Kane is accusing HBO's John Oliver of stealing jokes.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh I'm sure you did.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, probably, Well, there's only so many jokes out there,
and Dean Kane is joining Ice, and so John Oliver
came and made fun of Dean Kaine's Superman for doing it.
And I think what Dean Kine pointed out was, you know,
it's weird, John, some of the jokes you're telling about me,
I've heard other people tell the same joke. It's like

(03:45):
I'm the one that they're making fun of. So I
noticed what It's the same joke more than once probably
would stand out. Yeah, John Oliver essentially repeated insults that
were already said by actor John Leguizamo and other social
media accounts, Just the same jokes over and over again.
You're not that clever, Hollywood, Cause when someone's not writing
jokes for.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
You, Yeah, what do you got?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
What do you got? When you have to actually write
your own lines?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
You're not that interesting, Like most of these Hollywood movie
stars and TV stars. Robert de Niro comes to mind. Obviously,
if they didn't have people writing lines for him, he
has nothing really of any wit, or importance or substance
to share with us. He has to have somebody else

(04:29):
put the words in his mouth, unless it's you know, F.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Trump. Yeah, he came up with that all on his own, brilliant.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Here's another update to a pop culture story that went
south as quickly as it popped up on the radar.
Former Bravo star Jennifer Welch. I don't know why we're
calling her a star. I never heard of her, but
they used that word all the time. She made headlines
earlier this week for telling Indian, Chinese and Mexican people
that own restaurants that you shouldn't serve Trump supporters, and

(04:57):
Trump supporters shouldn't be allowed in your restaurants, and if
you're a gay hairdresser, you shouldn't cut the hair of
any Trump supporter. Now, one group of people that don't
agree with that are the Indian, Chinese and Mexican restaurant
owners who need the money and the and the gay
hairdressers law owners. They want clients, right, what a white liberal,
rich lady thing to do telling people that are like

(05:19):
working class, don't take money from people I hate. Anyway,
she is now getting slammed on social media. She had
to shut down her social media accounts. She had to
put her ex account on protected status because she was
getting trolled so hard.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
What will we do now without her?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
But it is a good reminder if you're being cyberbullied,
there's an easy way to fix that. Just block everybody,
your log off or put your phone down.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Believe it or not, it's allowed. You can just shut
down your social media account. You can not look at
your phone. I mean, there's a lot of ways to
go here.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
You know, my brother Steve here in the room. He
didn't talk much. But it is impossible, Older Steve, I
like that brother. It's impossible to cyber bully Steve. It's
impossible to do it.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I h low profile.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Because the social media accounts for this radio show are
basically handled by me, our business manager, Christine, and a
couple of our producers. Sometimes mister Kenneth gets on Instagram.
I do sometimes, mister Oh, we'll look at our Twitter account.
I don't miss with much either, But Billy Ed and
Steve never touch it. You can't bully Steve or Billyett
on social media.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
They'll never know. What do you get there? Now they're
probably going to start trying. They're fishing. We still won't
know about it. But yeah, guy, well go ahead. If
a bear farts in the woods, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
What about a mule?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
If a mule falls over and dies in the middle
of the desert.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, I was taking a farting in the woods. It
always used bears. But what if a mules to fart.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
In the woods? What if a bear would probably find
it needed? Why is it?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Why is it? Is it menstruating? Why would it?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Why would it?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Okay, by the way, I just looked at this article
real quick, and you know it does apply to these
things we're talking about in movies, television, that sort of thing.
What do you call what we used to watch regular TV?
Just call it regular TV, traditional TV, commercial TV.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
What what makes sense to you?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean regular commercial TV, just traditional mainstream TV.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
There's there's a difference between mainstream TV and streaming television.
Well there was, right, Well, there's a huge difference now
because they have reached the point where they call it
the inflection point. Mainstream television viewing has been going downhill

(07:38):
for years, down, down, down in the charts, while streaming
has been going up, up up, Well about May of
this year, yeah, we reached that inflection point where traditional
television actually got passed up. They met on the chart
of you know, ratings, and then traditional television is now

(08:01):
being beaten soundly by streaming television.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Gotta be you can see that from the award shows.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah, they take a look at the Nielsen ratings and
they're tracking the media coverage on these different broadcasts, networks
and that sort of thing. Primetime commercial ratings down twenty
three percent. In the second quarter of this year, Primetime
commercial ratings decreased thirty nine percent, huge thirty nine percent,

(08:29):
including sports for if you include cable with that.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
And here's the worst.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Comcast is facing the most severe collapse forty nine percent
year to year. That is huge half of their audience
gone from one year to this year. As bad, YESLEI
streaming is working.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
People still think it's funny that AOL's dial up service
just went away this week now, But you know, to
that point, AOL Time Warner that was a major media company,
and as bad as new technology has been for Hollywood
in the mainstream media, it's about to get even worse.
Everybody knows the story about how AI's replacing Hollywood writers,

(09:13):
or how independent journalists have replace the investigative reporters at
your local TV networks or at big newspapers or whatever
it may be. Earlier in the show, we were messing
around with AI video. We made fireballs shoot out of
Steve's eyes, and I posted a video of me fighting
the buckis beaver.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
What's crazy is you can just use a picture, just
a still shot, if that's what you want to call it,
give it to AI, and then turn it into a
like a ten second video with movement and action.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
And you don't even need to know anything about the technology.
All you have to do is vividly describe what you
want the video to do and type it in. You
don't even need to know about editing or you know,
Photoshop or Adobe Premiere. You don't need to know three
D Studio max, none of that. You just need to
be able to be a good communicator and you could
tell the computer what to do with the video. Now,

(10:05):
these are ten second videos. You might think, well, you
can't make a movie with a ten second video. Stop
right there, you can the average Hollywood movie shot, the
average Hollywood movie frame. A camera shot is only eight
seconds long. If you can make ten second long videos.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
You got yourself a movie right there.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
All you gotta do is learn to edit those together
ring to which means at the end of the day,
the only thing Hollywood is going to have to keep
them alive is good writers. And what are writers doing
in Hollywood right now? They're leaving, They're using AI, They're
moving to Nashville, they're moving to Atlanta, they're moving to Austin, Texas.
They're getting the hell out at Hollywood because Hollywood hasn't

(10:44):
appreciated these people, which means pretty soon these Hollywood movie
producers aren't going to have the monetary value to sexually
molest teenage girls on a casting couch.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh no, this stuff's late in New York City. New
York City, get a rope and Johnson.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Bono in case you needed to know what Bono thought
about Israel and Gazo.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's crossed my mind every day. I wish we could
get the ultimate decision on this if Bono would just
speak up.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
By the way, I never gave it. Damn about you two,
but you got ITMN. That song from the Batman Forever
soundtrack is pretty good.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I mean yeah, I'm telling you right now, I don't
got it, dude. Come on this Rips nineteen ninety five.
This was a good song. The rest of it was
kind of crap, but I always thought this was cool.
Who's that produced by Brian Eno. That's the edge on guitar.
That's a pretty good song.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I think, Oh, I gotta think it cool. Have to.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Anyway, Bono is weighing in on the Israel Palestine thing,
and what he's saying might actually kind of surprise you. You
could tell he's trying to be careful because he doesn't
want to upset his left wing fan base. But Bono
has pointed out how quote, we are not experts, but
we want our fans to know that Kaza is uncharted
territory after those evil Hamas attacks on Israel. It sounds

(12:06):
like what he's saying is, I know you all picked
a side here, but the side that you picked is
not the side where we get to do concerts.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, there's one area where they're welcome to do a show,
and there's one area where they're never welcome in Israel.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
We've been doing concerts for years that other part of
the little region there, that's the rape part. We can't
really do concerts in the part of town where people
are getting raped all and murdered.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
They probably won't stay out of there.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
If you guys, I get it. You don't like Israel,
you hate the Jews, YadA, YadA, YadA. But maybe that's
the only place in the region where we can actually
set up speakers in a drum set and perform without
getting murdered to death.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
If you're doing a concert for Israel and you upset
some of the people in that audience, they might walk
out right.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
But you do a.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Concert in the other area you upset them, you might
not walk out.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
No, you are the one that doesn't walk home. Not
really the same thing. See, I get it, you hate
the Jews. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, But at the same time,
maybe you could learn to tolerate the side that's not
murdering you. I'm just saying I don't think about it. Oh,
we're saying think about it anyway. So good for Bono
for kind of standing up for the good.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Guy, kind of more help coming in suggestions and just
you know, everybody trying to do what they can to
help Kenny with this little it's a temporary backstrain.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Doesn't take much, does it, to slip a disc or
whatever it is you did pull muscle.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
But then it goes away kind of quick too. It's
the weirdest thing. For twenty four hours, you cannot move
for twenty four hours, you're uncomfortable, and then the day
after that you're just it kind of goes back to normal.
It's like, Wow, what the hell is that all about.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
We've had people recommend chiropractors. They recommended you know, going
back and for heat, cold heat, cold, stretching, all kinds
of different things. Here's one the Walton Johnson's smartphone app
which means we don't know your name unless you sign
it at the end of your mail because we do
not track you. And it said, Kenney, I heard your

(14:12):
back is hurting it. Have you considered getting over it?
I mean, yeah, just get over it.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
I mean, for the.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Record, maybe you should rub some dirt on it. You
guys know me when I'm walk it off, man, walk
it off. You know how often I take a day
off because I'm sick or in pain or whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
You're semi stoic.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm happy to show up to work and just complain.
I'm more than happy to do I'd rather work. It's
weird too, because I could get a serious physical injury.
Like last year I got a surgery. You guys remember that.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
I do.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, and I kept coming into work. Your area was stitched.
But then I get a cold. I can't.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, And like I said, you're semi stoic.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
A lot of men are like that. Though a lot
of men you could shoot him in the foot, they'd
still go to work. But if they get a cold,
they're like a can't work. Got the cold?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Well, sometimes you get the flu and maybe it starts
like a cold and you think you know, but then
you get the flu.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
You ever had it so bad your hair hurts?

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, I've been laid up pretty one time or another.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Your your hair actually hurt. Don't touch it. Don't touch
your hair. No, it's no good.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Well.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
One of the.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Reasons that you might miswork, you know, if you have
a cold or the flu.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Is because you don't or the tide like you talking
with the cold all day long. Nobody wants to hear that. Well,
it does affect the radio show why we're sound retarded. No,
that was my I have a cold to my doze.
He was doing an impersonation of you with a cold, Billy. Yeah,
that's what you sound like when you have a cold.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
That's wait wait, no, that's that's hurtful. Is what you've done.
You've hurt a feeling? No, no, no, we're not trying
to hurt a feeling. But you know whose feelings never
got hurt. And if he was here right now, he
would tell you, don't forget boys and girls every day.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
I was recently in Washington, d C. And one of
my fans gave me a tour of the Capitol. I
got a tour of the capitol. Of course I could
have just run in there. But in the Capitol you
might not know this, but in the Capitol there are
two statues for every state.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
In the United States of America.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
Every state gets two statues of what their best people
are from their state. Mississippi are about to lose one
of their statues, Jefferson Davis. He is being lost for
historical unpleasantness and he's being replaced now with Johnny Cash,

(16:41):
which is weird because Johnny Cash sucks. He is the
most overrated artist in American history.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
And if you like Johnny Cash, you're a.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Line more of do you have a T shirt of
him going like this than a board of album? None
of you can name of album of his. His biggest
concert was in a prison, and that's because the crowd
couldn't leave.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
I hate to hear that she'll sign off tonight. I
hate to hear that she'll sign off to night. Walden
and Johnson they make things.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Sorry, well, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves. Get you
later on down the trail. That is an instant classic
Walton and Johnson
