Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, so it's cyber Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
This will be the last cyber Monday where you're able
to enjoy spending your money before AI takes your job.
So enjoy that welifting and for those of you that
use the internet, start shopping. For those of you without
the internet, boy, that must be awesome to not have
to be on the internet.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
What must that be like.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Keep in mind that online retaillers cannot verify your age.
So today's a great day to stock up on cigarettes, kids,
And remember cigarettes make you look smart and sexy and
cool and funny, So think about that while you're shopping online.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And if you're flying somewhere, God help you. And yesterday
it was a little bit of a Snapooh. They had thousands,
I think over ten thousand flights that were either delayed
or just didn't happen, partly because of some winter storms
and partly because there was just so many of you.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You just reminded me of the funniest thing I saw
from the Houston Airport. The Houston Airport art director, Oh boy,
absorb that for a second, says there is over thirty
million dollars worth of art at the Houston Airport and
that more people come to the airport to see that
art than go to the Louver every year.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh, that's why they're going to the airport. Now, can
you also catch a flight out of the Louver?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
No? I wonder if that helps it all.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So the Houston Airport thirty million dollars worth of art,
and the art airport director claims travelers enjoy their art
more than the art at the Louver. So Whitmeyer stepped
in and he said, look, this is kind of ridiculous.
Why is there thirty million dollars worth of art here?
They're going at wit Meyer's the mayor Houston. He's going
to do an audit and trying to do it some
kind of an investigation, like why, first of all, why.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Is there an art director? I know, is that your
only job? I feel like we don't need that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And then also the former boyfriend of the former mayor
bro I mean, you know the guy that was all
into the music and set up a piano on a
stage at the smaller airport at Hobby. And how many
people go to Hobby Airport to get a concerto?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
For those that don't know what mister Count's talking about,
he's making a very good point, But I feel like
I have to explain this to those of you that
don't live in Houston. Our last mayor was definitely not gay,
and he definitely didn't have a boyfriend who worked at
the airport who made ninety thousand dollars a year as
an intern. But somebody was getting ninety thousand dollars a
(02:25):
year as an intern.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Were and it was very suspicious.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The airport in Houston has historically been believed to be
a place where local government officials go to do things
that kind of fall in the gray area of legality
because there's so much money and moving parts.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
There, fraud and corruption, that sort of thing. Now, not
to put a name on it or anything right now.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
In the meantime, the mayor of Houston is being criticized
by members of his own party. The Harris County Democrats
voted to deny an endorsement to Mayor John Whitmyer out ooh,
because he's two friends with Republicans.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, imagine that he's not left enough.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He was on this radio show last week, and he
also recently attended an event with Dan Crenshaw.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Dan Crenshaw not some right wing ideologue by the way,
I think it was Grenshaw, or you think it was us.
The article says it was Crenshaw. Yeah, but they didn't
want to give us any publicity. I bet it was us.
He comes on the radio show and the next thing
you know, the Democrats are like, well, we don't like you.
I had the same thought. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
My uncle texted me and he said, I bet this
is happening because of you and Billy ed. The resolution
was advanced last week by the party's steering Committee, which
voted seventeen to seven to send all the Democrat precinct
chairs for consideration. The measure was authored by Cameron Coach
cam Campbell, a precinct chair member of the Houston Progressive Caucus,
who said he drafted it earlier this year after Whitmeyer
(03:50):
headlined a fundraiser for US Representative Dan Crenshaw. I got
bad news for you Democrats. We don't claim Crenshaw. No, no, not.
If you're mad at Whitmeyer for hanging out with Crenshaw,
don't us too.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
We didn't want them hanging out, all right. So let's
back up on this for just a little bit, because
I want to run through this one more time. The
Democrats say they won't endorse him for re election. All right,
So does that mean there's gonna be a bunch of
other Democrats coming out of the woodwork.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Saying I'd be better at this?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Because normally when you have the current mayor or whatever
race it is, when you have your guy in, right,
you don't want a bunch of other Democrats coming out
running against him. Right, Well, you just say that's he's
already got the job. Let him keep the job because
he's one of us. But now they're saying he ain't
one of us, so we're gonna run one of us
(04:42):
against him.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, remember they already did it was Sheila Jackson Leean.
If they got their way, the mayor would be dead right.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now, Yeah, and we'd have a new one. But also
and their daughter or something.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
For those who live outside of Houston where confused by
any of this, that makes five of us because the
Houston mayoral race it is supposed to be non partisan.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Right, Well, it's not supposed to be exactly right.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
By the way, when we were talking about going to
the airport and you're flying about, the Transportation Secretary Sewn Duffy,
maybe you've heard of him.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
He seems like a good guy.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He came out a week or so ago and suggested.
It's not like he's you know, given us orders or anything,
but he just suggested, and I liked it. But I
know it won't matter that maybe travelers should ditch the
pajamas and the slippers and maybe dress for the occasion
(05:36):
a little bit, show a little civility, as he called it.
Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas when we
go to the airport, said secretary. You know, shown duffy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I don't actually care what people wear to the airport,
but I don't know how many people realize this.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
You don't You can wear shoes now. At the TSM.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Maybe one reason they were wearing slippers, out shoes whatever
is because they kept having to take them off.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
But you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, you don't have to do that anymore, but you
still see people wearing that around the airport. I was
at an airport last weekend and I couldn't believe how
many of these people don't.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Keep up with it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You only fly once a year, I mean, whatever, it's
not a big deal. But you can wear your regular
shoes now, you know. And I don't want to look
at your feet. I know some people, by the way,
the people that do want to look at your feet.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You don't want looking at your feet.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
No, no, no, no, So that'd be one reason not
to do it. All right, coming up, we got sports
on the way.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Was there anything happening in the sports world today? Apparently
there is. Oh, there's some newsday in is Dick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The President of the United States just put out a
really interesting statement that some of our listeners in Louisiana
might be interested.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Marl Pappy Cannon is announcing that I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Sorry, that's the wrong sound by Can I get a
mulligan on this? The President of the United States just
put out a statement that some of our listeners in
Louisiana might be very interested in hearing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Good evening, America.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
How are you. I hope you're doing great. I know
the beautiful people of Louisiana are doing spectacularly well, probably
better than anybody, because I have pulled off the most
amazing hire in college football history.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
As you know, the Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, has
contacted me a few weeks ago, and I came on
here and told the great people of Louisiana that I
was going to find them the greatest head coach to
ever walk this planet to come and coach your fighting
Tiger football team. And I've done it. I have accomplished
(07:36):
the greatest thing ever. I'm here to announce that Layne
Tiffin is now the official head coach of LSU football.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And it's all because of me.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Okay, I did all of this. I had to pull
a lot of strings, the best strings, the only strings
that could be pulled, and they were pulled by me.
Oh yeah, your President, Donald Trump, this for you, Louisiana.
These poor fans, they deserve so much, and they're gonna
get it now. Lane is coming. He's bringing all of
(08:08):
his talent. What an unbelievable guy. Listen, everybody's excited, everybody's pumped.
I spoke with Verge Awsbury. What a guy, an athletic director.
This is the first thing he does. He comes in,
he says, Donald, we need the best help me. And
so I did what I did. I got him some help,
pulled some strings. Guys like Todd Graves.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
What a guy.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I think guy's got a pocketbook God Graves, And listen,
nobody knows chicken like that. Huh, God's got the best chicken.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What raising gains?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And I told him, I said, God, nobody can touch
your chicken, and you got the best sauce.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He's right, we got the salt. You get the idea. Anyway,
Trump is claiming credit.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Now, some people said that your buddy Governor Landry might
have had something to do with Brian Kelly being dismissed
and was going to be in charge of picking the
new coach.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And some people, well, Trump basically is the only one
I've heard claiming that it was his decision. But truth
be told, I think an old buddy of mine goes
by the name of Pepper with a MMR group.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You know, a guy named Pepper might have had a
lot more to do with it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, that was his airplane that Lane Kiffin flew into
Baton Rouge on over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Did Pepper used to be a girl in a in
a female rap group. I'm just carrying a little bit.
That's a different Pepper that. Yeah, Oh that's Papa, you
say so, Salt and Pepper, Okay, go on.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Anyway, people had noticed a nice jet MMR that's the
name of his company. Yeah, MMR the big dog basically
who told him to pull the trigger on Brian Kelly
in the first place, or he was going to stop
all of his donations and that would have been a lot. Anyway,
transported the one hundred million dollar man to his next
(10:02):
job on the private jet.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well that's excitingly nice.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I was really hoping it would be Monty Keffen, but
apparently he passed away last that it would be a
little difficult.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, yeah, so, uh yeah, that's that's just the tip
of the iceberg on the whole uh coaching carousel that's
been going on in college football this weekend, Now we're
gonna dive into it a little more here in a
little bit. Plus, we got the the SEC Championship game
coming up down this weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's gonna be nice. Oh yeah, you're gonna watch that?
Is that a oh? You know, I might take a lot,
might take a little while I can't.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Little playoffs and be honest with chen, has started with
a tiger walk.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
When you're gonna be ready to date, when you were
gonna start fast and it didn't look like about how
guys with Jack del Verdie Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Let's go, We'll let residents vote on their smartphones, and
apparently they've already had one election, really exciting. The winner
is Candy Crush. Congratulations to Candy Crush.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh that's huge.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You're in the new mayor of some town in Alaska
with eighty people, so your PA's appropriate. I guess if
there's eighty people in your town, you could vote by
phone because if someone cheated, you'd probably be able to
figure that out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Pretty be able to tell.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And one in seven Americans support getting rid of all coins. Okay,
but then what is Amazon pay warehouse employees? That's what
I wonder, and I go put Coinstar out of business.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
It's a good point of those people that got you know,
I mean, there'd be a mad rush probably and then nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Maybe coin store would be okay with it. Do you
have any change in your pocket right now? I do not.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Does anybody in the room have changed in their pocket?
Let me chick, cause you guys all remember a time
when we all had change in our but you'd put
change in your pocket in case you needed it throughout
the day.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
When's the last time that happened? Like twenty years ago,
it's been a while. I don't like the way it.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You know, makes your your pants look I like a
nice sleek fit, and I'm sure you feel the same.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Look. Times happen, times change. You used to have change,
Now you don't.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Coach, got a big jar somewhere, a bucket, a plastic cup,
coffee can or something where you throw you change if
you happen to get any in your day, because you
know you're not gonna take it out and put it
back in your pocket the next morning, so you got
to put it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Well, you may not have the jingling of coins in
your pocket when it comes to change, but if you
like change, we do have a new LSU coach.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Wait, a new coach. Well, as far as I've heard
about this, what happened over where there? As you well,
I kind of thought that was your job to expect.
Oh all right, it's I'm supposed to do all of that.
Speaker 3 (12:31):

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yay yay.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
All right, So, yeah, lane Kiffin got the job at LSU.
He worked hard for it, he fought for it. And
then when he got the job, he said, but I
still want to stay here at Ole Miss and take
these Rebels into the playoffs, and uh, Old Miss said no.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I think they said go get That's pretty much what
happened on Saturday. Lane Kiffin was serenaded with cheers, praise,
and please not to leave. After the rebels egg ball
victory over rival Mississippi State.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Twenty four hours later.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
He had to pray on it, talked to the family,
did some more praying, and then he said, yeah, I'm
out of here.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And then twenty four hours later, Ole Miss fans bombarded
him with booze, curses, and mockery as he boarded the
plane bound.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
For Baton Rouge.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That's right, so yeah, that's a uh, that's a that's
a nice contract. It's somewhere between ninety and one hundred
million with that all shake out.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You know that twelve million a year for seven years, but.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
There's a lot of bonuses and things in there where
you could really really start to add up after a while.
So we'll see about that. So Kiffin go to LSU.
But there's other coaches moving around now. They kind of
wanted to wait and see what But Kiffin did John
Sumraw do it over at Tulane. He went ahead and
took the job at Florida, gonna be a Gator, and
(14:21):
a lot of people were surprised because they thought, well,
he's gonna go to Auburn, which would have made more sense,
but he didn't do that. Auburn got Alex Golesh. I
don't know what that is. And then Arkansas announced their
new coach, Ryan Silverfield. So a lot of action going on.
Michigan State. Most people don't talk about him too much.
(14:42):
Michigan State got a got a new coach. They announced
their new coach, and it wasn't about who it was,
It's about who it worn't. Who weren't it weren't Brian
Kelly and LSU was really hoping that he would take
that job as well. There's a little little deal in
that contract. Then they don't have to pay him anymore.
They would have to pay him less, okay, if he
(15:03):
took a new job. And they're thinking, well, if Brian
Kelly ought to take a new job somewhere anywhere, would
be good. But then he didn't. I think is mostly
out of spite. I think he won't an issue to
pay him that fifty four million dollars. The inc gon't
take a job. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
While speaking of Michigan, passions and emotion get the better
of most in a rivalry game, and they certainly got
the best of a Michigan defender who swung his head
towards an official. The wild moment occurring during a dramatic
goal line stand in the first quarter as the Wolverine
stood the Buckeyes up multiple times at the one yard line. Then,
after forcing a third down, a scuffle broke out between
(15:38):
Ohio State and Michigan players. Afterwards, Michigan linebacker j Schwan
Barham Jay Swan appeared to be trying j Schwan Jishawn
appeared to be trying to demonstrate a headbutt that an
Ohio State player did to him. However, he turned his
head and struck the official in the fai.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I've got a little video of it he actually make
contact because I was watching it live.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Look at this right here, hang on, I got it
on the screen. Damn. Yeah, it kind of tapped him,
that tap.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But that's his excuse is I was showing the referee
what the other guy did to me. Still pretty dumb. Oh,
it was real dumb. And they didn't kick him out
of the game. That was a big surprise.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Anyway, And by the way, Lane Kiffin claims Mississippi State
fans broke into his locker room and stole the QB's jersey.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Did you know that the QB's the quarterback jersey.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, they stole his quarterbacks jersey last week. That have
to do with Lane Kiffin?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, I just forgot that. I had that note on
the street about Lane Kiffin. So they're mad at Lane
kiffen for leaving. Well this, but this steal the quarterbacks jersey.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It's just another little weird Lane Kiffin news story today.
Somebody stole his quarterbacks jersey last week. But it's not
his quarterback anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Because Alabama beat alban and that means Alabama is now
going to the SEC championship game against Georgia. Now, Georgia
has one loss this whole season and that's the Alabama
interesting and now they're gonna play again this Saturday afternoon
(17:16):
about three o'clock Central time for the championship at the SEC.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
This worked out really good for you know, some of
the other teams in the SEC.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
That was possible, like the Aggies that was possibly gonna
go to that game, but then they lost to the
Horns and the Aggies are down to seventh in the
rankings now. But that means the Aggies don't have to
play an extra game. Now that might be good or bad,
depending on you know, your take on the world how
that work out. But this is a weekend they get
(17:46):
to take off and Georgia and Alabama don't. Now, so
we're gonna see how that played out. Let's see what
else we got. The Broncos won overtime thriller last night,
and this really got people excited. The Broncos played the
Washington Redskins last night.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ah boy, here he goes.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Redskins, because they went out of their way to make
this game all about the Super Bowl back like Super
Bowl twenty two or something like that, when the Redskins
defeated the Broncos. The Broncos, Yeah, and of course you
know that that was a big, big game.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It was a close game last night, twenty seven to
twenty six, despite the fact that the Washington football team's
record is three and nine and the Broncos are ten
and two.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
And it came down to a two point conversion that
they did not convert, and that that was the game.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You know what really would have helped Washington is if
they had changed their name back to the Redskins, because
then people would have thought, oh, it's the same winning
team that we used to have, not these losers, the
commanders who suck all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
That might as well because they had sep guys from
the old Redskins Super Bowl championship days come out and
address the situation, and they said, nobody ever on the team,
off the team, nobody ever until some of these white
liberal women decided to have a problem with it. This
(19:17):
guy's like, I'm my grandfather is one hundred percent Seminole Indian, sure,
and you know he played for the Redskins for a
lot of years won two Super Bowls with him, and
he's like, nobody ever had a problem with it. He didn't,
I didn't have a problem. Nobody ever had a problem
with it being to Redskins. They were pretty proud of it, actually,
(19:39):
And then they just took that away because some mouthy
liberal ladies just decided that how's gonna have to be.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now, that's it all right? One more.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's brother was arrested after the game
in Knoxville on Saturday. Javier, his brother, brother of the quarterback,
was arrested and then released after being charmed with public
intoxication and unruly behavior after supposedly waiving a flag and
blocking other people's view of the game. Now that in
and out itself was bad, but apparently the flag had a.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Swastik on and I guess no, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Pavia was released on recognizance bond and will not have
any bail, pay any bail if he appears at all
his court dates. So he is twenty five years old.
He was asked to leave the stadium, he refused.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Arrest.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Records claim that Pavia was extremely drunk and verbally combative
with stadium officials, and so in some ways it was
hard to tell the difference between him and most of
the other fans there that day.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Is it considered sports news that Aaron Rodgers got his
nose all bloodied by some mean player on the other
team yesterday?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I mean that sounds like sports see it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
And I don't really even remember who he plays for,
but I keep up with Aaron Rodgers a little bit,
partly because of the things you've told me about him.
And I'm not the reasons anyway, some other player apparently
like smashed his nose and he's got that little face
thing in front of him and everything still is just
bleeding everywhere. Poor thing yess quarterback in the laws.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Aaron Rodgers has had quite the career. I don't know
if this part of his career is the party's going
to want to remember.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
The Pittsburgh Steelers started the season four and one, but
have lost five of their last seven games, and they
claim that Aaron Rodgers is a big part of the
reason why.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
But that's okay. Maybe we just need to give him
more ayahuasca, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
And also I'm not sure if this falls under sports
or just the regular news heading, but you know, we
got a fugitive coach missing from up in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
High school college. What are we talking about coach? I
think high school. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We'll find out though, but there's a little news on that,
all right, if we'll get back to that.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
If you're a fugitive coach, the Virginia State Troopers would
like to have a word with you.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, football is like making love to a really beautiful woman.
You can't always go, but when you do, it makes
all the trying worth d Walton and Johnson Radio Network
All right, so it's cyber Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
This will be the last cyber Monday where you're able
to enjoy spending your money before AI takes your job.
So enjoy that welifting and for those of you that
use the internet, start shopping. For those of you without
the internet, boy, that must be awesome to not have
to be on the internet.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
What must that be like.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Keep in mind that online retaillers cannot verify your age.
So today's a great day to stock up on cigarettes, kids,
And remember cigarettes make you look smart and sexy and
cool and funny, So think about that while you're shopping online.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And if you're flying somewhere, God help you. And yesterday
it was a little bit of a Snapooh. They had thousands,
I think over ten thousand flights that were either delayed
or just didn't happen, partly because of some winter storms
and partly because there was just so many of you.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You just reminded me of the funniest thing I saw
from the Houston Airport. The Houston Airport art director, Oh boy,
absorb that for a second, says there is over thirty
million dollars worth of art at the Houston Airport and
that more people come to the airport to see that
art than go to the Louver every year.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh, that's why they're going to the airport. Now, can
you also catch a flight out of the Louver?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
No? I wonder if that helps it all.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So the Houston Airport thirty million dollars worth of art,
and the art airport director claims travelers enjoy their art
more than the art at the Louver. So Whitmeyer stepped
in and he said, look, this is kind of ridiculous.
Why is there thirty million dollars worth of art here?
They're going at wit Meyer's the mayor Houston. He's going
to do an audit and trying to do it some
kind of an investigation, like why, first of all, why.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Is there an art director? I know, is that your
only job? I feel like we don't need that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And then also the former boyfriend of the former mayor
bro I mean, you know the guy that was all
into the music and set up a piano on a
stage at the smaller airport at Hobby. And how many
people go to Hobby Airport to get a concerto?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
For those that don't know what mister Count's talking about,
he's making a very good point, But I feel like
I have to explain this to those of you that
don't live in Houston. Our last mayor was definitely not gay,
and he definitely didn't have a boyfriend who worked at
the airport who made ninety thousand dollars a year as
an intern. But somebody was getting ninety thousand dollars a
(02:25):
year as an intern.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Were and it was very suspicious.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The airport in Houston has historically been believed to be
a place where local government officials go to do things
that kind of fall in the gray area of legality
because there's so much money and moving parts.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
There, fraud and corruption, that sort of thing. Now, not
to put a name on it or anything right now.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
In the meantime, the mayor of Houston is being criticized
by members of his own party. The Harris County Democrats
voted to deny an endorsement to Mayor John Whitmyer out ooh,
because he's two friends with Republicans.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, imagine that he's not left enough.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He was on this radio show last week, and he
also recently attended an event with Dan Crenshaw.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Dan Crenshaw not some right wing ideologue by the way,
I think it was Grenshaw, or you think it was us.
The article says it was Crenshaw. Yeah, but they didn't
want to give us any publicity. I bet it was us.
He comes on the radio show and the next thing
you know, the Democrats are like, well, we don't like you.
I had the same thought. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
My uncle texted me and he said, I bet this
is happening because of you and Billy ed. The resolution
was advanced last week by the party's steering Committee, which
voted seventeen to seven to send all the Democrat precinct
chairs for consideration. The measure was authored by Cameron Coach
cam Campbell, a precinct chair member of the Houston Progressive Caucus,
who said he drafted it earlier this year after Whitmeyer
(03:50):
headlined a fundraiser for US Representative Dan Crenshaw. I got
bad news for you Democrats. We don't claim Crenshaw. No, no, not.
If you're mad at Whitmeyer for hanging out with Crenshaw,
don't us too.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
We didn't want them hanging out, all right. So let's
back up on this for just a little bit, because
I want to run through this one more time. The
Democrats say they won't endorse him for re election. All right,
So does that mean there's gonna be a bunch of
other Democrats coming out of the woodwork.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Saying I'd be better at this?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Because normally when you have the current mayor or whatever
race it is, when you have your guy in, right,
you don't want a bunch of other Democrats coming out
running against him. Right, Well, you just say that's he's
already got the job. Let him keep the job because
he's one of us. But now they're saying he ain't
one of us, so we're gonna run one of us
(04:42):
against him.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, remember they already did it was Sheila Jackson Leean.
If they got their way, the mayor would be dead right.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now, Yeah, and we'd have a new one. But also
and their daughter or something.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
For those who live outside of Houston where confused by
any of this, that makes five of us because the
Houston mayoral race it is supposed to be non partisan.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Right, Well, it's not supposed to be exactly right.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
By the way, when we were talking about going to
the airport and you're flying about, the Transportation Secretary Sewn Duffy,
maybe you've heard of him.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
He seems like a good guy.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He came out a week or so ago and suggested.
It's not like he's you know, given us orders or anything,
but he just suggested, and I liked it. But I
know it won't matter that maybe travelers should ditch the
pajamas and the slippers and maybe dress for the occasion
(05:36):
a little bit, show a little civility, as he called it.
Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas when we
go to the airport, said secretary. You know, shown duffy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I don't actually care what people wear to the airport,
but I don't know how many people realize this.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
You don't You can wear shoes now. At the TSM.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Maybe one reason they were wearing slippers, out shoes whatever
is because they kept having to take them off.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
But you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, you don't have to do that anymore, but you
still see people wearing that around the airport. I was
at an airport last weekend and I couldn't believe how
many of these people don't.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Keep up with it.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You only fly once a year, I mean, whatever, it's
not a big deal. But you can wear your regular
shoes now, you know. And I don't want to look
at your feet. I know some people, by the way,
the people that do want to look at your feet.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You don't want looking at your feet.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
No, no, no, no, So that'd be one reason not
to do it. All right, coming up, we got sports
on the way.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Was there anything happening in the sports world today? Apparently
there is. Oh, there's some newsday in is Dick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The President of the United States just put out a
really interesting statement that some of our listeners in Louisiana
might be interested.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Marl Pappy Cannon is announcing that I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Sorry, that's the wrong sound by Can I get a
mulligan on this? The President of the United States just
put out a statement that some of our listeners in
Louisiana might be very interested in hearing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Good evening, America.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
How are you. I hope you're doing great. I know
the beautiful people of Louisiana are doing spectacularly well, probably
better than anybody, because I have pulled off the most
amazing hire in college football history.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
As you know, the Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, has
contacted me a few weeks ago, and I came on
here and told the great people of Louisiana that I
was going to find them the greatest head coach to
ever walk this planet to come and coach your fighting
Tiger football team. And I've done it. I have accomplished
(07:36):
the greatest thing ever. I'm here to announce that Layne
Tiffin is now the official head coach of LSU football.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And it's all because of me.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Okay, I did all of this. I had to pull
a lot of strings, the best strings, the only strings
that could be pulled, and they were pulled by me.
Oh yeah, your President, Donald Trump, this for you, Louisiana.
These poor fans, they deserve so much, and they're gonna
get it now. Lane is coming. He's bringing all of
(08:08):
his talent. What an unbelievable guy. Listen, everybody's excited, everybody's pumped.
I spoke with Verge Awsbury. What a guy, an athletic director.
This is the first thing he does. He comes in,
he says, Donald, we need the best help me. And
so I did what I did. I got him some help,
pulled some strings. Guys like Todd Graves.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
What a guy.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I think guy's got a pocketbook God Graves, And listen,
nobody knows chicken like that. Huh, God's got the best chicken.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What raising gains?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And I told him, I said, God, nobody can touch
your chicken, and you got the best sauce.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He's right, we got the salt. You get the idea. Anyway,
Trump is claiming credit.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Now, some people said that your buddy Governor Landry might
have had something to do with Brian Kelly being dismissed
and was going to be in charge of picking the
new coach.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And some people, well, Trump basically is the only one
I've heard claiming that it was his decision. But truth
be told, I think an old buddy of mine goes
by the name of Pepper with a MMR group.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You know, a guy named Pepper might have had a
lot more to do with it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, that was his airplane that Lane Kiffin flew into
Baton Rouge on over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Did Pepper used to be a girl in a in
a female rap group. I'm just carrying a little bit.
That's a different Pepper that. Yeah, Oh that's Papa, you
say so, Salt and Pepper, Okay, go on.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Anyway, people had noticed a nice jet MMR that's the
name of his company. Yeah, MMR the big dog basically
who told him to pull the trigger on Brian Kelly
in the first place, or he was going to stop
all of his donations and that would have been a lot. Anyway,
transported the one hundred million dollar man to his next
(10:02):
job on the private jet.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well that's excitingly nice.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I was really hoping it would be Monty Keffen, but
apparently he passed away last that it would be a
little difficult.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, yeah, so, uh yeah, that's that's just the tip
of the iceberg on the whole uh coaching carousel that's
been going on in college football this weekend, Now we're
gonna dive into it a little more here in a
little bit. Plus, we got the the SEC Championship game
coming up down this weekend.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
That's gonna be nice. Oh yeah, you're gonna watch that?
Is that a oh? You know, I might take a lot,
might take a little while I can't.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Little playoffs and be honest with chen, has started with
a tiger walk.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
When you're gonna be ready to date, when you were
gonna start fast and it didn't look like about how
guys with Jack del Verdie Walton and Johnson Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Let's go, We'll let residents vote on their smartphones, and
apparently they've already had one election, really exciting. The winner
is Candy Crush. Congratulations to Candy Crush.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh that's huge.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You're in the new mayor of some town in Alaska
with eighty people, so your PA's appropriate. I guess if
there's eighty people in your town, you could vote by
phone because if someone cheated, you'd probably be able to
figure that out.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Pretty be able to tell.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And one in seven Americans support getting rid of all coins. Okay,
but then what is Amazon pay warehouse employees? That's what
I wonder, and I go put Coinstar out of business.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
It's a good point of those people that got you know,
I mean, there'd be a mad rush probably and then nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Maybe coin store would be okay with it. Do you
have any change in your pocket right now? I do not.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Does anybody in the room have changed in their pocket?
Let me chick, cause you guys all remember a time
when we all had change in our but you'd put
change in your pocket in case you needed it throughout
the day.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
When's the last time that happened? Like twenty years ago,
it's been a while. I don't like the way it.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You know, makes your your pants look I like a
nice sleek fit, and I'm sure you feel the same.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Look. Times happen, times change. You used to have change,
Now you don't.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Coach, got a big jar somewhere, a bucket, a plastic cup,
coffee can or something where you throw you change if
you happen to get any in your day, because you
know you're not gonna take it out and put it
back in your pocket the next morning, so you got
to put it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Well, you may not have the jingling of coins in
your pocket when it comes to change, but if you
like change, we do have a new LSU coach.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Wait, a new coach. Well, as far as I've heard
about this, what happened over where there? As you well,
I kind of thought that was your job to expect.
Oh all right, it's I'm supposed to do all of that.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
And and of course it is brought to you by
a Christmas shopping headquarters. My Pillow dot com, have Mystoke

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yay yay.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
All right, So, yeah, lane Kiffin got the job at LSU.
He worked hard for it, he fought for it. And
then when he got the job, he said, but I
still want to stay here at Ole Miss and take
these Rebels into the playoffs, and uh, Old Miss said no.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I think they said go get That's pretty much what
happened on Saturday. Lane Kiffin was serenaded with cheers, praise,
and please not to leave. After the rebels egg ball
victory over rival Mississippi State.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Twenty four hours later.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
He had to pray on it, talked to the family,
did some more praying, and then he said, yeah, I'm
out of here.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And then twenty four hours later, Ole Miss fans bombarded
him with booze, curses, and mockery as he boarded the
plane bound.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
For Baton Rouge.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That's right, so yeah, that's a uh, that's a that's
a nice contract. It's somewhere between ninety and one hundred
million with that all shake out.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You know that twelve million a year for seven years, but.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
There's a lot of bonuses and things in there where
you could really really start to add up after a while.
So we'll see about that. So Kiffin go to LSU.
But there's other coaches moving around now. They kind of
wanted to wait and see what But Kiffin did John
Sumraw do it over at Tulane. He went ahead and
took the job at Florida, gonna be a Gator, and
(14:21):
a lot of people were surprised because they thought, well,
he's gonna go to Auburn, which would have made more sense,
but he didn't do that. Auburn got Alex Golesh. I
don't know what that is. And then Arkansas announced their
new coach, Ryan Silverfield. So a lot of action going on.
Michigan State. Most people don't talk about him too much.
(14:42):
Michigan State got a got a new coach. They announced
their new coach, and it wasn't about who it was,
It's about who it worn't. Who weren't it weren't Brian
Kelly and LSU was really hoping that he would take
that job as well. There's a little little deal in
that contract. Then they don't have to pay him anymore.
They would have to pay him less, okay, if he
(15:03):
took a new job. And they're thinking, well, if Brian
Kelly ought to take a new job somewhere anywhere, would
be good. But then he didn't. I think is mostly
out of spite. I think he won't an issue to
pay him that fifty four million dollars. The inc gon't
take a job. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
While speaking of Michigan, passions and emotion get the better
of most in a rivalry game, and they certainly got
the best of a Michigan defender who swung his head
towards an official. The wild moment occurring during a dramatic
goal line stand in the first quarter as the Wolverine
stood the Buckeyes up multiple times at the one yard line. Then,
after forcing a third down, a scuffle broke out between
(15:38):
Ohio State and Michigan players. Afterwards, Michigan linebacker j Schwan
Barham Jay Swan appeared to be trying j Schwan Jishawn
appeared to be trying to demonstrate a headbutt that an
Ohio State player did to him. However, he turned his
head and struck the official in the fai.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I've got a little video of it he actually make
contact because I was watching it live.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Look at this right here, hang on, I got it
on the screen. Damn. Yeah, it kind of tapped him,
that tap.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But that's his excuse is I was showing the referee
what the other guy did to me. Still pretty dumb. Oh,
it was real dumb. And they didn't kick him out
of the game. That was a big surprise.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Anyway, And by the way, Lane Kiffin claims Mississippi State
fans broke into his locker room and stole the QB's jersey.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Did you know that the QB's the quarterback jersey.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, they stole his quarterbacks jersey last week. That have
to do with Lane Kiffin?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, I just forgot that. I had that note on
the street about Lane Kiffin. So they're mad at Lane
kiffen for leaving. Well this, but this steal the quarterbacks jersey.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It's just another little weird Lane Kiffin news story today.
Somebody stole his quarterbacks jersey last week. But it's not
his quarterback anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Because Alabama beat alban and that means Alabama is now
going to the SEC championship game against Georgia. Now, Georgia
has one loss this whole season and that's the Alabama
interesting and now they're gonna play again this Saturday afternoon
(17:16):
about three o'clock Central time for the championship at the SEC.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
This worked out really good for you know, some of
the other teams in the SEC.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
That was possible, like the Aggies that was possibly gonna
go to that game, but then they lost to the
Horns and the Aggies are down to seventh in the
rankings now. But that means the Aggies don't have to
play an extra game. Now that might be good or bad,
depending on you know, your take on the world how
that work out. But this is a weekend they get
(17:46):
to take off and Georgia and Alabama don't. Now, so
we're gonna see how that played out. Let's see what
else we got. The Broncos won overtime thriller last night,
and this really got people excited. The Broncos played the
Washington Redskins last night.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ah boy, here he goes.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Redskins, because they went out of their way to make
this game all about the Super Bowl back like Super
Bowl twenty two or something like that, when the Redskins
defeated the Broncos. The Broncos, Yeah, and of course you
know that that was a big, big game.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It was a close game last night, twenty seven to
twenty six, despite the fact that the Washington football team's
record is three and nine and the Broncos are ten
and two.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
And it came down to a two point conversion that
they did not convert, and that that was the game.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You know what really would have helped Washington is if
they had changed their name back to the Redskins, because
then people would have thought, oh, it's the same winning
team that we used to have, not these losers, the
commanders who suck all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
That might as well because they had sep guys from
the old Redskins Super Bowl championship days come out and
address the situation, and they said, nobody ever on the team,
off the team, nobody ever until some of these white
liberal women decided to have a problem with it. This
(19:17):
guy's like, I'm my grandfather is one hundred percent Seminole Indian, sure,
and you know he played for the Redskins for a
lot of years won two Super Bowls with him, and
he's like, nobody ever had a problem with it. He didn't,
I didn't have a problem. Nobody ever had a problem
with it being to Redskins. They were pretty proud of it, actually,
(19:39):
And then they just took that away because some mouthy
liberal ladies just decided that how's gonna have to be.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now, that's it all right? One more.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's brother was arrested after the game
in Knoxville on Saturday. Javier, his brother, brother of the quarterback,
was arrested and then released after being charmed with public
intoxication and unruly behavior after supposedly waiving a flag and
blocking other people's view of the game. Now that in
and out itself was bad, but apparently the flag had a.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Swastik on and I guess no, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Pavia was released on recognizance bond and will not have
any bail, pay any bail if he appears at all
his court dates. So he is twenty five years old.
He was asked to leave the stadium, he refused.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Arrest.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Records claim that Pavia was extremely drunk and verbally combative
with stadium officials, and so in some ways it was
hard to tell the difference between him and most of
the other fans there that day.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Is it considered sports news that Aaron Rodgers got his
nose all bloodied by some mean player on the other
team yesterday?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I mean that sounds like sports see it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
And I don't really even remember who he plays for,
but I keep up with Aaron Rodgers a little bit,
partly because of the things you've told me about him.
And I'm not the reasons anyway, some other player apparently
like smashed his nose and he's got that little face
thing in front of him and everything still is just
bleeding everywhere. Poor thing yess quarterback in the laws.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Aaron Rodgers has had quite the career. I don't know
if this part of his career is the party's going
to want to remember.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
The Pittsburgh Steelers started the season four and one, but
have lost five of their last seven games, and they
claim that Aaron Rodgers is a big part of the
reason why.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
But that's okay. Maybe we just need to give him
more ayahuasca, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
And also I'm not sure if this falls under sports
or just the regular news heading, but you know, we
got a fugitive coach missing from up in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
High school college. What are we talking about coach? I
think high school. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We'll find out though, but there's a little news on that,
all right, if we'll get back to that.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
If you're a fugitive coach, the Virginia State Troopers would
like to have a word with you.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, football is like making love to a really beautiful woman.
You can't always go, but when you do, it makes

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.
