Speaker 1 (00:01):
We've been getting a lot of emails over the last
I don't know, a dozen hours or so from some
of our users, listeners that use X asking why I
violently attacked the BUCkies beaver and with the BUCkies on fire? Yeah,
why did you do that? That's very irresponsible of you.
If you saw the video that's been circulating on X
(00:21):
that would be the platform previously known as Twitter. How
long you think they're going to keep saying that? Yeah,
I mean, I know you say it, we say it,
but National News still continues to explain what X is.
Has it been? It's been over a year at least,
right at least two or three years it was, but
it was Twitter for a really long time.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
If it had a better name than X, that's the problem.
People would know already it would have shifted and you
wouldn't have to keep explaining it. But X isn't really
a name, is it. It's a letter.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
X was already a thing.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, I had to bring that up, but I mean,
for my generation, X was early a thing. He's on
X anyway, we had we had three x's when I
was growing up, and you know that was way better?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Is it everything?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, Well, as you could tell.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Steve and I not alarmed that the Bucky's beaver was
violently attacked and the store was let on fire, because
uh huh, it was AI generated.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was as fake as that bear bouncing on a
trampoline not real videos. By the way, I do believe
a bear has occasionally gotten onto a trampoline. I just
don't think that one was real, And as it turns out,
it wasn't. The bear bounces up and down on the
trampoline like he's kind of a professional trampoliner, and then
(01:39):
breaks through it and falls to the ground underneath.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Didn't happen. Now it's true, you apparently did not violently
and physically attack a man in a beaver suit, and
in fact, I briefly, even apparently even remember taking a
photo with him. I was recently on road trip up
to Fort Worth to do some comedy shows at a
(02:04):
club downtown there, and we stopped at the BUCkies, as
Texans often do, bought some beaver nuggets and a large
diet coke, snapped a photo with the beaver man iconic beaver. Yes,
forgot I even took it. Somebody else took the photo
that was posted to social media. And now there's new
software on x which, as you know, used to be Twitter.
(02:29):
Glad to know that. Yeah, a lot of people on
that platform who look like they could be in the commodores.
And I just feel like it's so easy now AI
generated videos. So and here's what's remarking, there is good
news to this, because I know people are alarmed.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Excuse me for for old people who like me don't
really get that. AI will take just a snapshot, a picture,
or you give it a picture of yourself still shot,
and it'll turn it into a video and it'll do
whatever you wanted to do. I was like, show me
beating up Bucky Beaver, show me having intimate relations with
(03:08):
bo Did you try that one?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Anything you want?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Did the Beaver bind you over at anytime? I think
there are some limitations to Here's a video I made
yesterday of Hunter Biden smoking crack with Donald Trump laughing
at him. Yeah, but those videos are everywhere. I mean,
that's probably real, right, the photo is real. It was
a real photo from his laptop. But I'm the one
that edded the President of the United States to it.
And you know, I feel like it's better now. But anyway,
(03:35):
the point I'm getting at is this. Anyone could take
a photo anything and make a and up to ten seconds.
All you have to do is vividly described to the
AI software what you want the photo to do, and crap.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Goes in, crap comes out.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But if your explanation, if you're a good communicator, if
you could speak very straightforward and candidly and assertively to
the software in your typed out description, can make it
do anything you want. Here's what's so amazing about that,
not that isn't amazing in and of itself. The average
frame a camera shot in a Hollywood movie is no
longer than eight seconds. There's never, almost never a single
(04:14):
camera shot that's longer than eight seconds. These are all
ten second videos, Steve. What that means is if I
can write, if I can craft a better narrative, if
I can craft a better plot line, a better storyline,
and I can go out and use my iPhone to
take video of my friends acting in a movie, and
I put all those little videos into AI, and I
(04:35):
manipulated I add the Jurassic Park dinosaurs or the Star
Wars spaceships. I can now compete with Hollywood cool. You remember,
once upon a time, there was talk of people on
the assembly line being replaced by robots, very upsetting, or
people the dock workers. Remember last year, the port workers
here in Houston, where our flagship station's at all, protesting
(04:57):
because they didn't want to be replaced by automation. Guys,
the whole world's going to change. It's not just the
blue collar workers that are good.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But I don't want it to change. I wanted to
just stay like it is. I don't like change. I'm
old and I'm setting my ways. Well, you can't do
anything about it. There's two things you can count on. Well,
all right, then I give up. There's three things you
could count on, death taxes and change, right.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And Russia just loving the war. Yeah, Russia loves war.
Oh they're still having that meeting tomorrow, aren't they Friday?
You're right that, well, you thought it was Thursday. I
thought the meeting was Thursday. Time zones, right.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, I just look, That's what I was doing. I
was just looking up the Anchorage time zone. There three hours.
They're even they're behind us. They're earlier than California because
it's even further west, Like you said, it's it's far
east Russia basically Alaska is So it is two forty
in the morning at this moment in time Anchorage. I
(06:00):
have no idea what time they're supposed to get together
on Friday, So somebody give us a heads up and
we will probably be broadcasting live from Anchorage Friday. Or
should we broadcast from Anchorage Saturday so that we can
tell you what happened on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Maybe we should just take a few days off to
make sure that we're the nuclear award doesn't start, you know,
for the safety of us and the listeners, and then
maybe not go to Alaska. Hang on, I'm being told
by the producer, we can't do that. No, he says,
We're just going to stay here and do the show
like we know. We'll put him in charge. He says,
he's always been.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Whatday is it Wednesdayday is it Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Did I stutter? Walton and Johnson Radio Network. What I
want to know is how will this affect the adel
to entertainment industry. I'm sure we all want to know
that I will what affect it?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Once the only.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Fans models figure out how to take their dirty pictures
and edit them using AI generated video? Oh the AI business. Yeah,
there's gonna be tentacles coming out of orifices and or
going in too. I don't know, right, because someone's going
to want to see that. I mean, sure, not that
I do, but I got to think somebody out you.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Think I don't know?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It came to your mind pretty quickly. You must you
just just popped right into your head. You don't get
to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Tentacles.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Huh, you don't remember.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
There was a liberal journalist who had a scandal where
he posted a screenshot of his computer and one of
the things in the tabs was tentacle porn. No, I
do not remember that, and he had to go out
and explain to everybody, Oh, I don't look at tentacle porn.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I just couldn't believe it was real.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I have to admit, and not to defend some skanky liberal.
If you look through my search history over here on
this computer, it would probably be a little alarming. We'd
discuss things occasionally that I might want to know more about,
and I have searched things that I'm not proud of.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Kurt Eichenwall, the senior writer for Newsweek, accidentally revealed he
was scouring Japanese animated pornography. He claims he was merely
searching online with his adult sons to prove to his
wife the tentacle porn was real. That sounds legitimate. Kurt Eichenwald,
who is also a contributor editor at Vanity Fair, posted
an image of an anti Semitic flyer on Twitter in
(08:18):
an effort to criticize Tucker Carlson. But people noticed in
the background he had a tabo. You gotta check the background.
People flush the toilet.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
If you're taking pictures of yourself in the bathroom, I
don't know how many times. Well it's not important, not me,
you know, but pictures I've seen.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
There's a video now on the Walton and Johnson Instagram account.
So did you know that of Steve Twitter is now
called X. Yeah, it's called a If you go look
at the Walton Johnson Instagram account, not X but Instagram.
There's a video of Steve talking into the microphone, yes,
in front of a TV screen. There's ghosts on the
TV behind him. You just took that big you're about
(09:00):
five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh yeah, I mean, and you've already turned it into
me doing something weird.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And your head explodes and ghosts up here on the
screen behind you. The only part it didn't understand is
I wanted the stickers on your laptop to dance around.
Oh I didn't didn't accomplish that. Steve's laptop has a
marijuana on there. I never see the back of it. Heywood, Harvest,
dot Com, Walton and Johnson, the radio Gods, what's the
other one?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Oh, let's go Brandon.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
La Brandon, which is let's go Brandon. I missed that,
you know, the uh the crowd that was shouting it
wasn't Let's go Brandon, but you know what it was.
That was just such a great I mean, yeah, Biden
was president and all that was awful, but it was
(09:45):
a good time.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It was the best of times. It was the worst set.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well, Steve, since you asked for it, you know, maybe
an encore performance of an old classic. Well, I heard
a brand new phrase. Know what it meant?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Four days when I got it, I had to say.
The meaning was risca.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They said, let's go branding at the racetrack, at the
bull games on TV, Let's go Brandon.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I looked at a phony Doude. You go to see
what it means and you can hear the chance from
the crowd. Let's go Brandon.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We said, let's go branding at the racetrack, at the
bull games on TV, Let's go by I looked at
a phony, dude, you go to see what it means.
I can't help but notice that back in those days,
(10:50):
we didn't have the ability to instantly take a photograph
of somebody and manipulate it using artificial intelligence, so their
head would explode and Joe Biden would smoke a craw crock.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Isn't that a shame? Got it now? Mentioning the ball
game on TV. I don't know if you keep up
with the Astros or not. We don't normally talk about
the sports this early in the morning. I just couldn't
help but notice the Astros had a little trouble last night.
They lost to the Red Sox fourteen to one.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That's a pretty bad game.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
They won the day before.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, our buddy Zach Attack was at the game live
last night. I haven't spoken to him after, but I
wonder how long he stayed. When it's nine to nothing
or nine to one, whatever, do you think, well, they'll
come back. Well, if you're a real fan, yeah, just
twelve to one. Now it's like, well, fourteen to one
(11:49):
at some point you just have to go.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
The Astros are good at comebacks, but fourteen is yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And then also it's a weak night. Yeah, you kind
of want to get out of.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
There before the rush, exactly. I will. I think the
brush might have been leaving by the third or fourth inning.
You know, you just reminded me of I know I
told this story before, but there's an update to it.
A couple of weeks back, I went to an Astros
game and I ran into the mayor And that was
interesting in and of itself, because first of all, he's
the mayor of the fourth biggest city in America walking
around at Dacin Park whatever we're calling it now, by himself,
(12:23):
no security. Yeah, there he is, Mayor whit Meyer, Kenny,
How's the radio show? We talked it up for a minute, sure,
and then we went our separate ways. And he's a Democrat.
I'll tell you, I think he's the best mayor of
any big city in America.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'd love to criticize him. I think he's honestly doing
a good job. I got to be objective on that.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
That being said, yesterday I was looking at the numbers
for what Lena Hedalgo spends a year on her personal security.
Oh yeah, did.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You know it's nine hundred thousand dollars million bucks.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Let's just round up million dollars for her security. She's
the county judge.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
She's not the president, she's not the governor, she's the
county judge.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
What huh?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You spent a million dollars on your security to protect
you from who?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Who is trying to hurt you anyone?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's all they want is for that little girl to
go back to wherever it is she popped her head
out of and stopped trying to run the county.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
That reminds me of another thing. She's from Columbia. Did
you know right now in Colombia there was a presidential
candidate who was not unlike Donald Trump or Javier Malay
and Argentina or bu Kelly and l Salvador are a right
wing populist, the most popular presidential candidate in the election
coming up, and they murdered him, and they just murdered him.
And Lena Hidalgo comes from that climate where that's she's
(13:40):
a leftist from that country.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But country's also famous for flowers. Oh, beautiful, big flowers.
So just they're really into it. And I guess you
can get cheap donal work down there.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Sweet. Yeah, you can really tell who is a morning
person and who is not. It is Wednesday, Walton and
Johnson Radio Network,
