Speaker 1 (00:00):
Said nobody. Well, what's wrong? What are you talking about? Oh? Whatever?
That is?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Pastors are turning to AI more and more for tasks
like writing sermons and counseling their followers. Once they could
train it to touch kids, they'll be out of a job. Hi, everybody,
we're back from break. Why are they canceling followers? They
should try to get more followers, shouldn't they. What do
you mean you said they were canceling followers counseling their followers?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Was it the music? What made it hard to hear me? There?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Counsel counseling? Yeah, that's different. Then here's another one.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Did you know the size of your buttocks could predict
your chance of diabetes?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
How does that work out?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
To a lesser extent, your chance of being liked by sir?
Mix a lot is also playing into a role there,
that's right. Yeah, but they say like people with big
butts and they cannot lie are more likely to get
the diabetes.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So that's sad. Are you Wilford Brimley?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Now, yeah, my sister. Can I talk about my my
sister for just a minute. This has nothing to do
with diabetes or anything? Could we stop you? Yeah, yea.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
If I just said no, you can't talk about your sister,
you just wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's not just something that's just burning up inside of
you and you gotta get it out. It's a story
that you must share. Or why do you want to
talk about her? Is she listening?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
No? I don't think so. She's at work for the
hope this is useful.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
She's at work for the first time this week, and
it's not because she didn't want to work this week.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Is she handicapped? My sister is a public school teacher.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
An accident in a low income school district, thickness, she
works with special needs kids.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And oh, don't tell me they attacked her. No, okay, good, No,
her school got attacked. Oh no, by hackers. So allians,
I want you to imagine, the school's been closed.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
All week and it wasn't supposed to be, not because
of a snowstorm, not because of a flood or a hurricane,
or a tornado, or a crime spree or a pandemic,
stay at home orders, none of that.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The school got shut.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Down this week because foreign hackers took over the computer
system at the school and they could not operate.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
So without computers, they can't just open a book or
have art class or something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
In the meantime.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Isn't that the craziest thing you ever heard. You're telling
me you can't just go down to the gym and
play dodgeball, or why not read a book? Everybody today,
we're all gonna go to the library find a book. No,
the computer hacking shut the whole school down. Apparently it
affects so many things in the school, including the security
system or do they have.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Those like magnetic locks on the doors now to keep
people from coming in with.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Guns cameras in the school. But then also the network
of computers, the iPads. They're all using iPads to learn,
and they're like, nope, the kids were told to stay
home all week. They could not go to school. I
have never heard of such a thing. That is such
a twenty first century problem, it really is. Are they
learning from that though? Are they making any changes? Maybe
they should take some of the things out of computer
(02:56):
control and put them back in the hands of man.
Back in the nineties, well back in the twentieth century,
Apple computers Macintosh gave all these free computers. Macintosh computers
to public schools all over the country.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Was a catch.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Catch is they wanted kids to learn to like Apple computers,
Apple and make us richer exactly. It was a smart
investment from a commerce a business point of view.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So we had a network of computers in our school
controlled by software called the Mac Manager system Macmanner. This
is before you know high tech networking software and stuff.
I mean the time, it was high tech, but it
was pretty simplistic. You could operate, takeover, hijack the whole
system by going onto this new thing called the Internet,
downloading the system administrative software for Mac Manager, putting on
(03:43):
a three and a half inch floppy disc, going to.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
School three and a half inch floppy put the disc
into any computer.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, yea yeah, and it would allow you to remotely
control all the computers around the school. My friends and
I did this in high school, and we got into
a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
The prank went on for days.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
We could remotely shut down computers, boot up files on
people's computers, send messages to people, read people's messages.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Read their homework, things like that. But this was the nineties.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
A very small part of your day, a very small
part of your curriculum was curriculum was done on the computer.
So obviously we got into trouble. But this was a
minor inconvenience to the educators at our public school.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
The equivalent of that would have prevented kids from going
to school the whole week.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
By the way, I got a lot of attention for
that bed. It was a different time. So you're not
involved in this one now that affects your sister. No
claim not to be, but it sounds like you're kind
of admitting that you are. This is like you throwing
yourself out there for the mercy of the show or something.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Now is a fully grown, functioning, tax payer paying adult.
I want those kids in school. I got to pay
for that. You sit in those seats, Bubba. Obviously I
don't pay for it because it's not in the stately,
no property taxes pay for it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But even still go to school. Loser?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
All right, Dan, what have you seen the new You
know how they love to change the names and logos
of NFL teams, right, I don't know if you've seen
this or not, though, the Minnesota Vikings now changing their.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Look Somali pirates. I love it. Oh, that's hilarious. They
made the Viking into.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
A black guy, got a black Viking. I like his mustache.
That was a nice touch. Very skinny, very thin too.
The Somali Pirates, uh, they play hard, they play rough man.
If you're taking on the Minnesota Pirates this weekend. I
know Pirates is a baseball team from Pittsburgh, but now
the Somali Pirates probably should say Somali Pirates every time.
(05:38):
Got to yeah, yeah, vikings out Somali Pirates in. It's
a cute little logo change, but I think it's gonna
really bring a lot of new international viewers to the game.
That's what's important, right, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
A quick reminder to everybody speaking of Somalia, if you've
been keeping touch, keeping up with what's going on there,
It's been a lot of news past week about how
in the state of Minnesota a lot of these Somalian
refugees have been bilking the system, stealing money really from
the food stamp program, the EBT welfare program, and sending
(06:15):
it overseas, in many cases sending it overseas.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
To al Shabab terrorists.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So Chadwick Moore, a journalist and author, today published a
report asking the question, what did Congresswoman Ihan Omar know
about the one billion dollar welfare fraud case Inner Minnesota District?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
You mean, what will she admit to knowing or what
did she actually know?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Omar held parties at one of the key restaurants named
in the fraud, knew one of its now convicted owners,
and one of her own staffers has also been convicted,
both for stealing millions.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Seems pretty unlikely she knew nothing.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
No, it seems more likely that she might have been
the ring leader. Imagine this, guys, Let's go a little
deeper here.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Omar actually introduced the bill that led to the two
hundred the first two hundred and fifty million fraud, yet
she claims to be completely unaware of it. You created
a law that was used by your constituents to send
a billion dollars overseas to terrorists.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And you want us to believe you knew nothing about this.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I know she don't like America, and I know she
said that nine to eleven thing that would just like
you know nobody, and I know a lot of that
stink has been put on her. But would she go
so far as to lie to us?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I have a feeling. She probably would further record since
she brought it up there.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Feeling millions or I'm sorry, billions is one thing, but
lying to the American people, I don't know if she'd
go that far.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, she would never, never, never, forget that. Hang on,
I'm just chewing up the SoundBite here. She is the woman.
This is one of the craziest soundbites we've ever played.
There is a sitting member of Congress who actually said
this out loud.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Care was found did after nine to eleven because they
recognized that some people did something and that all of
us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Come on, we have to treat everybody the same, whether
they're Asian or black or regular.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We put comedy before politics on this show, especially in
our all the time. Luis c. K, not exactly someone
i'd agree with politically, has a hilarious bit we cannot
share this with you on the radio about how he
once saw a terrible comedian perform a parody of this
song where he did an analogy about I guess it
was an analogy. He changed the words he did so
(08:41):
it was about gay sex. Sitting on it because I'm gay.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Mm hmm, and this terrible comedian Lucy Kay says now
maybe said the funniest thing you'd ever heard in his life.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It was the funniest thing you'd ever heard.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yet this all started because if you weren't with us
about look three hours ago or more. We broke the
news early this morning. Famed guitar legend Steve Cropper passed
away yesterday at the age of eighty four.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Steve was such a cool guy, one of the greatest
musicians I ever met in my life, and I you know,
I'm probably the best musician I ever met in my life.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Certainly of outpouring from people here at the station who
have interacted with him, our listeners and emails and phone calls,
and everybody just talked about what a great guy he was.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
A little slice of Americana yesteryear, the America we all
grew up loving. By the way, on that note, tonight
on NBC, they're gonna air Frosty the Snowman, the classic
TV Christmas special.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
By Birthday that he used to say, you know why,
because it was because he was born on Merry Christmas. Well,
is that happy birthday? Because when they put the hat
on his head. He was born, he came to life.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Interestingly enough, the person who said happy Birthday was comedian
Jackie Vernon, the voice of Frosty the Snowman. Jackie had
a deadpan delivery and a solid act in his day,
was a very funny comedian. When we end the show today,
we always will often play a little we always call
it the bonus bit. At the behind the scenes, we're like,
here's a yeah, here's a little extra, here's a little
(10:17):
a cookie on your way out the door.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
We play a comedy bit at the end of every show.
All of them are funny, but some of them are comedy.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Not all of them are funny, for sure, but you know,
but we try to play a different one every day.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's a home run every single time they go to bat.
At the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Today, when we're leaving, we're gonna play a great example
of a classic stand up comedy bit by the brilliant
Jackie Vernon, Happy Birthday, Voice.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Of Frosty Fusty. Now who sang the song Frosty the Snowman?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Was it? Burl Ives? Probably? I? Yeah, you sang one
of them. I'm sure that was it?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
By the way while he looks that up, I'd like
to point out geen Autry. Really well, there was geen Autry,
bin krast. I mean a lot of people sang it. Okay, Willie,
Jimmy Duranty the Stev Show, great question. I'd have to
look it up.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, in the meantime, I would like to point out
ilhan Omar, who we just played a little clip of
her before we went to the break, said that Carr
was founded after nine eleven. Carer was founded in nineteen
ninety four. Don't bitch, Yeah she's alive.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that last part.
Jimmy Duranty, I think that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, I knew it wasn't Burl lives because Burl did
a different song.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, Burl lives in geene Autry. All great people anyway, listen.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Jimmy Duranty has a very distinct voice and present. So yeah,
there's a good time bat then huge schnalls. All right,
before we get out of here. A lot of little
news stories we like to always save for the end
of the show. Let's start off with this one Thursday
night football Dallas in Detroit, A good matchup happening tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Something to take a look at tonight.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Thursday Night football Dallas in Detroit. Right, Cowboys Lions, Dallas, Detroit.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This seems racist. That's racist.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Racist Thursday night football?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
All right. While we're on that topic, Jersey City, New Jersey,
has been officially named the top Christmas hotspot in the
United States.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Could someone explain to me? Why? Why? Why? Jersey City,
New Jersey. What kind of daego put this? Who made
this decision?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
A very unlikely city near New York City has been
named the Top Christmas City move Over by after ranking
cities in America with the most Christmas activities per square mile.
MRI Software, a real estate software and service provider the
tracks and forecasts footfall across retail destinations, found that Jersey
(12:52):
City is one holly jolly place this December. They have more,
with sixty nine point four festive activities per square mile
and four hundred sixty seasonal things to do in total.
Jersey City is a literal winter wonderland. I'm calling Shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I am too. I do not buy that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Wilmington, Delaware came in second place with sixty five point
two activities per square mile, Top five rounded out Dover, Delaware,
was in there, Frederick, Maryland.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'm guessing these people up there have never been to
Santa's Wonderland over their Brian college station on Highway six. Huh,
losers Santa's Wonderland. I'll tell you what. If you're not going,
then you shouldn't even be on Highway six this time
of year because Santa's Wonderland.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It calls in some extreme traffic. Backup.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I got the list on the screen right now at
the top ten Christmas hotspots. You notice anything interesting about them,
don't squint your eyes too hard. I'll tell you Northeast.
They're all on the Upper East Coast YEP, New York, Delaware, Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Fuw.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Those people all think they're the only people that live
in America. Are the only ones that count anyway. Anyway,
here's a Jersey crooner to help celebrate for Jersey Cities.
Well back compacts, not friend, Come see the show.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Zy City where the Christmas loved This.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Were lights and pastry stacks.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Whoa what?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We should not have gone to Jersey City to celebrate Christmas.
That guy just killed everybody. The pigeons that is not humans.
That wouldn't be a funny joke.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You know something else I just read that was interesting.
I think CARE was not founded.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
The Council on American Islamic Relations not founded, like Omar said,
because of nine.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
To eleven Franchi line.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
But they did say that it was founded partly in
response to the movie True Lies with Arnold Schwarzene. That's
awesome because the Arab and Muslim groups thought they were
being quite you know, racist or bigoted towards them.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Are you saying they thought that movie was misleading?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Does that mean we don't have to get to the
chopash you can stay off the choppa, don't get to Chopa.
I do want to get on a chopper. How many
movies did he say that in?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I just thought it was that one, True True Lies, Okay,
I don't think he says it. And Predator. I think
he told everybody to get to the chopper too.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You ever noticed how all the action stars are getting old.
We don't have new action stars. They still use Harrison
Ford in an Indian and A Jones movie, Sylvester Stallone's
seventies guy we mentioned yesterday.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Jason Statham has kind of taken over and dominated. But
he's no spring chicken, as they say.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And he just married our friend Jillian. Her birthday was
yesterday and not nice. Yeah, I love that for them. Hey, John,
you know what to do, my friend.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Don't forget boys and girls too it.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Every day things will happen to me that could never
happen to anyone else. When I was a kid that
had a rocking horse that died, the heigh of my
rejection occurred when I was about eight years old. I
was put up for adoption by my foster parents, and
then I was adopted by a Korean family. Later on
(16:15):
in school, a girl got me in trouble. My book,
which will be out in a few weeks, it's called
The doll Man's Guide to Meeting Girls of the Opposite Sex.
This book tells the dull man where and how to
(16:35):
meet a girl. A very good place for the doll
man to meet a girl is at the beach, especially
in the winter there's less competition. How should the dull
man approach a girl at the beach? Well, I suggest
as he walked by her, he hummer, mumble, and then
you endo type song something like birds do it, Bees
(16:57):
do it? If she ignows you you'll have to come
on a bit stronger. You might try putting around the
sand with your tone and saying, I seem to lost
my congressional melavana here.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Somewhere, I to hear that sign off tonight. I to
hear that sign off tonight, Walton Johnson, they made things Sorry.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves. Get you later
on down the trail. That is an instant classic Walton
and Johnson. Hey again, you've reached the end of the
Walton and Johnson podcast. Good for you. That means you
listened all the way to the end. Does that mean
we're going away now never to be heard again?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
No, no, no, there will be a new show tomorrow,
oh thank goodness, unless it's the weekend or we're off work.
But as always, you could go to waltonand Johnson dot
com and you can find all kinds of cool stuff there.
Our news blog links to our social media accounts. Believe
it or not, but our personal lives are very boring.
If you comment on our social media pages, we might
reply yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Chances are we're just sitting around waiting to hear from you. Yeah,
So what's the big deal. Go to Walton Johnson dot
com today I'm told there's a store. Oh yes, we
do have a lovely store and you could buy things there.
Walton Johnson dot com. What's not to love
Said nobody. Well, what's wrong? What are you talking about? Oh? Whatever?
That is?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Pastors are turning to AI more and more for tasks
like writing sermons and counseling their followers. Once they could
train it to touch kids, they'll be out of a job. Hi, everybody,
we're back from break. Why are they canceling followers? They
should try to get more followers, shouldn't they. What do
you mean you said they were canceling followers counseling their followers?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
How does that work out?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
To a lesser extent, your chance of being liked by sir?
Mix a lot is also playing into a role there,
that's right. Yeah, but they say like people with big
butts and they cannot lie are more likely to get
the diabetes.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So that's sad. Are you Wilford Brimley?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Now, yeah, my sister. Can I talk about my my
sister for just a minute. This has nothing to do
with diabetes or anything? Could we stop you? Yeah, yea.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
If I just said no, you can't talk about your sister,
you just wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
It's not just something that's just burning up inside of

Speaker 2 (01:18):
She's at work for the first time this week, and
it's not because she didn't want to work this week.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Is she handicapped? My sister is a public school teacher.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
An accident in a low income school district, thickness, she
works with special needs kids.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And oh, don't tell me they attacked her. No, okay, good, No,
her school got attacked. Oh no, by hackers. So allians,
I want you to imagine, the school's been closed.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
All week and it wasn't supposed to be, not because
of a snowstorm, not because of a flood or a hurricane,
or a tornado, or a crime spree or a pandemic,
stay at home orders, none of that.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The school got shut.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Down this week because foreign hackers took over the computer

Isn't that the craziest thing you ever heard. You're telling

the computer hacking shut the whole school down. Apparently it
affects so many things in the school, including the security

of admitting that you are. This is like you throwing
yourself out there for the mercy of the show or something.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Now is a fully grown, functioning, tax payer paying adult.
I want those kids in school. I got to pay
for that. You sit in those seats, Bubba. Obviously I
don't pay for it because it's not in the stately,
no property taxes pay for it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But even still go to school. Loser?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
All right, Dan, what have you seen the new You
know how they love to change the names and logos
of NFL teams, right, I don't know if you've seen
this or not, though, the Minnesota Vikings now changing their.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Look Somali pirates. I love it. Oh, that's hilarious. They
made the Viking into.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
A black guy, got a black Viking. I like his mustache.
That was a nice touch. Very skinny, very thin too.
The Somali Pirates, uh, they play hard, they play rough man.
If you're taking on the Minnesota Pirates this weekend. I
know Pirates is a baseball team from Pittsburgh, but now
the Somali Pirates probably should say Somali Pirates every time.
(05:38):
Got to yeah, yeah, vikings out Somali Pirates in. It's
a cute little logo change, but I think it's gonna
really bring a lot of new international viewers to the game.
That's what's important, right, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
A quick reminder to everybody speaking of Somalia, if you've
been keeping touch, keeping up with what's going on there,
It's been a lot of news past week about how
in the state of Minnesota a lot of these Somalian
refugees have been bilking the system, stealing money really from
the food stamp program, the EBT welfare program, and sending
(06:15):
it overseas, in many cases sending it overseas.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
To al Shabab terrorists.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So Chadwick Moore, a journalist and author, today published a
report asking the question, what did Congresswoman Ihan Omar know
about the one billion dollar welfare fraud case Inner Minnesota District?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
You mean, what will she admit to knowing or what
did she actually know?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Omar held parties at one of the key restaurants named
in the fraud, knew one of its now convicted owners,
and one of her own staffers has also been convicted,
both for stealing millions.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Seems pretty unlikely she knew nothing.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
No, it seems more likely that she might have been
the ring leader. Imagine this, guys, Let's go a little
deeper here.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Omar actually introduced the bill that led to the two
hundred the first two hundred and fifty million fraud, yet
she claims to be completely unaware of it. You created
a law that was used by your constituents to send
a billion dollars overseas to terrorists.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And you want us to believe you knew nothing about this.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I know she don't like America, and I know she
said that nine to eleven thing that would just like
you know nobody, and I know a lot of that
stink has been put on her. But would she go
so far as to lie to us?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I have a feeling. She probably would further record since
she brought it up there.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Feeling millions or I'm sorry, billions is one thing, but
lying to the American people, I don't know if she'd
go that far.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, she would never, never, never, forget that. Hang on,
I'm just chewing up the SoundBite here. She is the woman.
This is one of the craziest soundbites we've ever played.
There is a sitting member of Congress who actually said
this out loud.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Care was found did after nine to eleven because they
recognized that some people did something and that all of
us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Come on, we have to treat everybody the same, whether
they're Asian or black or regular.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We put comedy before politics on this show, especially in
our all the time. Luis c. K, not exactly someone
i'd agree with politically, has a hilarious bit we cannot
share this with you on the radio about how he
once saw a terrible comedian perform a parody of this
song where he did an analogy about I guess it
was an analogy. He changed the words he did so
(08:41):
it was about gay sex. Sitting on it because I'm gay.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Mm hmm, and this terrible comedian Lucy Kay says now
maybe said the funniest thing you'd ever heard in his life.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It was the funniest thing you'd ever heard.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yet this all started because if you weren't with us
about look three hours ago or more. We broke the
news early this morning. Famed guitar legend Steve Cropper passed
away yesterday at the age of eighty four.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Steve was such a cool guy, one of the greatest
musicians I ever met in my life, and I you know,
I'm probably the best musician I ever met in my life.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Certainly of outpouring from people here at the station who
have interacted with him, our listeners and emails and phone calls,
and everybody just talked about what a great guy he was.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
A little slice of Americana yesteryear, the America we all
grew up loving. By the way, on that note, tonight
on NBC, they're gonna air Frosty the Snowman, the classic
TV Christmas special.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
By Birthday that he used to say, you know why,
because it was because he was born on Merry Christmas. Well,
is that happy birthday? Because when they put the hat
on his head. He was born, he came to life.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Interestingly enough, the person who said happy Birthday was comedian
Jackie Vernon, the voice of Frosty the Snowman. Jackie had
a deadpan delivery and a solid act in his day,
was a very funny comedian. When we end the show today,
we always will often play a little we always call
it the bonus bit. At the behind the scenes, we're like,
here's a yeah, here's a little extra, here's a little
(10:17):
a cookie on your way out the door.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
We play a comedy bit at the end of every show.
All of them are funny, but some of them are comedy.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Not all of them are funny, for sure, but you know,
but we try to play a different one every day.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's a home run every single time they go to bat.
At the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Today, when we're leaving, we're gonna play a great example
of a classic stand up comedy bit by the brilliant
Jackie Vernon, Happy Birthday, Voice.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Of Frosty Fusty. Now who sang the song Frosty the Snowman?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Was it? Burl Ives? Probably? I? Yeah, you sang one
of them. I'm sure that was it?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
By the way while he looks that up, I'd like
to point out geen Autry. Really well, there was geen Autry,
bin krast. I mean a lot of people sang it. Okay, Willie,
Jimmy Duranty the Stev Show, great question. I'd have to
look it up.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, in the meantime, I would like to point out
ilhan Omar, who we just played a little clip of
her before we went to the break, said that Carr
was founded after nine eleven. Carer was founded in nineteen
ninety four. Don't bitch, Yeah she's alive.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that last part.
Jimmy Duranty, I think that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, I knew it wasn't Burl lives because Burl did
a different song.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, Burl lives in geene Autry. All great people anyway, listen.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Jimmy Duranty has a very distinct voice and present. So yeah,
there's a good time bat then huge schnalls. All right,
before we get out of here. A lot of little
news stories we like to always save for the end
of the show. Let's start off with this one Thursday
night football Dallas in Detroit, A good matchup happening tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Something to take a look at tonight.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Thursday Night football Dallas in Detroit. Right, Cowboys Lions, Dallas, Detroit.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This seems racist. That's racist.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Racist Thursday night football?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
All right. While we're on that topic, Jersey City, New Jersey,
has been officially named the top Christmas hotspot in the
United States.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Could someone explain to me? Why? Why? Why? Jersey City,
New Jersey. What kind of daego put this? Who made
this decision?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
A very unlikely city near New York City has been
named the Top Christmas City move Over by after ranking
cities in America with the most Christmas activities per square mile.
MRI Software, a real estate software and service provider the
tracks and forecasts footfall across retail destinations, found that Jersey
(12:52):
City is one holly jolly place this December. They have more,
with sixty nine point four festive activities per square mile
and four hundred sixty seasonal things to do in total.
Jersey City is a literal winter wonderland. I'm calling Shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I am too. I do not buy that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Wilmington, Delaware came in second place with sixty five point
two activities per square mile, Top five rounded out Dover, Delaware,
was in there, Frederick, Maryland.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'm guessing these people up there have never been to
Santa's Wonderland over their Brian college station on Highway six. Huh,
losers Santa's Wonderland. I'll tell you what. If you're not going,
then you shouldn't even be on Highway six this time
of year because Santa's Wonderland.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It calls in some extreme traffic. Backup.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I got the list on the screen right now at
the top ten Christmas hotspots. You notice anything interesting about them,
don't squint your eyes too hard. I'll tell you Northeast.
They're all on the Upper East Coast YEP, New York, Delaware, Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Fuw.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Those people all think they're the only people that live
in America. Are the only ones that count anyway. Anyway,
here's a Jersey crooner to help celebrate for Jersey Cities.
Well back compacts, not friend, Come see the show.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Zy City where the Christmas loved This.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Were lights and pastry stacks.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Whoa what?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We should not have gone to Jersey City to celebrate Christmas.
That guy just killed everybody. The pigeons that is not humans.
That wouldn't be a funny joke.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You know something else I just read that was interesting.
I think CARE was not founded.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
The Council on American Islamic Relations not founded, like Omar said,
because of nine.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
To eleven Franchi line.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
But they did say that it was founded partly in
response to the movie True Lies with Arnold Schwarzene. That's
awesome because the Arab and Muslim groups thought they were
being quite you know, racist or bigoted towards them.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Are you saying they thought that movie was misleading?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Does that mean we don't have to get to the
chopash you can stay off the choppa, don't get to Chopa.
I do want to get on a chopper. How many
movies did he say that in?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I just thought it was that one, True True Lies, Okay,
I don't think he says it. And Predator. I think
he told everybody to get to the chopper too.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You ever noticed how all the action stars are getting old.
We don't have new action stars. They still use Harrison
Ford in an Indian and A Jones movie, Sylvester Stallone's
seventies guy we mentioned yesterday.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Jason Statham has kind of taken over and dominated. But
he's no spring chicken, as they say.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And he just married our friend Jillian. Her birthday was
yesterday and not nice. Yeah, I love that for them. Hey, John,
you know what to do, my friend.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Don't forget boys and girls too it.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Every day things will happen to me that could never
happen to anyone else. When I was a kid that
had a rocking horse that died, the heigh of my
rejection occurred when I was about eight years old. I
was put up for adoption by my foster parents, and
then I was adopted by a Korean family. Later on
(16:15):
in school, a girl got me in trouble. My book,
which will be out in a few weeks, it's called
The doll Man's Guide to Meeting Girls of the Opposite Sex.
This book tells the dull man where and how to
(16:35):
meet a girl. A very good place for the doll
man to meet a girl is at the beach, especially
in the winter there's less competition. How should the dull
man approach a girl at the beach? Well, I suggest
as he walked by her, he hummer, mumble, and then
you endo type song something like birds do it, Bees
(16:57):
do it? If she ignows you you'll have to come
on a bit stronger. You might try putting around the
sand with your tone and saying, I seem to lost
my congressional melavana here.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Somewhere, I to hear that sign off tonight. I to

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.
