I've seen her in person. She's built like your average 12 year old Ethiopian boy.

Walton asked Hooks if he went to the parade. Hooks said, "yeah, I saw the big, dopey black rat sitting up front...and Mickey was next to him.

She does have some Sarah Jessica Parker qualities - horse face, no boobs, etc

They also said Walton has been burning the candle at both ends... lives in West Houston and after the W&J Show, he commutes to Beaumont (I think almost daily) to manage a radio station he owns. That is an insane commute, but luckily he only has to travel through 10:15am Houston traffic

Yea I heard that this morning.

Yes! They called themselves the Q crew IIRC.


Nothing and no one could avoid there attentions.

Remember The Old Story Teller giving Saints starting QB Bobby Herbert a your mama joke.

Completely tasteless and hysterically funny!

The Obama years were not kind to them. But in all fairness if I had kept on top of Obama’s daily actions I would have lost all sense of humor. They would have done better to walk away as well. But in more fairness, the percentage of Trump’s haters who have walked away for sanity is about 0.000000012%.

One of my favorite Walton and Johnson stories was the story about Richard Marx and they did an interview with him, and the whole time he had a big mustard stain on his shirt. I thought was pretty damn funny.

That's a rough 80 miles.
Not sure if you agree or that is sarcasm.

Likely closer to 90 from the Galleria to Beaumont, and 105 miles from Beaumont to his house. The guy wakes up at, what, 4am I guess. Knocks off at 10am and drives (in good traffic) 90 minutes to his "second job". I'm assuming he works at least 4 hours there and has the fun of re-entering Houston around 5pm. So home at 6pm and in bed by 8pm.

Sounds like quite the grind.

If I was him, I'd probably own an apartment in Channelview to skip Houston traffic when it is at its worst. Or have a bed / private room at his station in Beaumont, and get to do the westbound commute at 3:30am.

I met Jay Hooks outside of a Hornets game back in the day and W and J at a car dealership in Baton Rouge. It was when they road in a parade. I kept following the float until I caught one of their special beads. Still have it.

I have at times recently thought the guy was drunk on air. I wonder if that's the issue here.

I mentioned that to my GF just last week. As many times I’ve listened to them this was a 1st. After reading this thread I’m guessing he was on some sort of pain meds while trying to tough it out.

He should be out of the hospital in few days. It must be serious since spent 2 weeks in the hospital.

The only Lynn Gansar / story guy joke I remember: So, Lynn is in college and looking for a job...and sees an ad in the school newspaper for a house mother at one of the frats. So she goes to the house, and a couple guys sit her down for an interview. After a few obligatory questions, they wrap it up. "So, Lynn, we've been known to throw a wild party every now and then...are you OK with that?" "Sure", Lynn replies. "And one last question...have you ever been picked up by the fuzz?" (That's Five-O for you young bucks...yeah, it dates the joke). Lynn thinks about it for a few seconds and replies, "No, but I have been swung around by the boobs a few times."

Kenny's voice is kind of annoying and he seems to laugh a lot at his own jokes.


So he's an absolutely perfect fit for the show?

Kenny acts and reacts like the "youngster" he is as compared to the seasoned guys of W & J. Please somebody has to get Kenny off the air, period. He has killed the show.
Pretty harsh assessment given the circumstances.

I'll give you this... Ken has a voice for radio like Rachel Maddow has a face for TV and Lena Dunham has a body for porn.

However, the dude, Producer Kenny, is beyond talented in the radio business, segment production, on-location, etc. And given the situation, he is holding the show together with his humor and knowledge. Better than a re-run or best-of.

I thought he was supposed to be back Monday. I can't listen to the show because of Kenny's voice.

I never have known, which one does the multiple personalities?
Johnson. If you listen when they first come on the air, they scan the newspaper and talk among themselves. Steve Johnson speaks in his own voice while they do this.
