And you can download their shows daily on their app. That’s what I do.

Greatest radio show ever. And those that say they aren’t funny or weren’t funny during the dark years of Obama need to shut your whore mouths.

I don't like their humor most of the time,
Its because they’re making fun of you libtard. Glad you’re triggered.

I did notice quite a few men in jorts and all-white cross trainers looking pretty depressed lately.
And another triggered libtard that doesn’t like being made fun of.

The one story I remember the best was Walton reading a story about a fortune teller in Romania or somewhere who claimed that he could tell your future if he placed his hands on your naked buttocks. Mr. Kenneth, in his gay voice said, “Well, I don’t know about him, but if I have my hands on your naked buttocks, I can definitely tell you what’s in your immediate future.”

Any update on him?


Yesterday, they made comments that made it seem he was still in the hospital.

They were talking about bringing "flowers to the hospital for him" and then were joking about how we would rather have a stripper named Flowers visit him.

Wondering if the "we" was intended to be a 'he'? If so, sounds like a classic JW quip.

True talent. Mover and Shaker.

Seems like if John was "on the mend", he could literally phone it in, at least for a brief time. I'm afraid it doesn't look good. Hoping for the best, but I respect the man's privacy.

He left a while back.

They keep saying that he has multiple things wrong with him but that he'll return soon. Still, I fully expect to tune in Monday and hear that Kenny is still there. The dude just isn't funny on the air. He does good character voices and I like his man on the street interviews, but his regular voice is just too irritating. His laughter sounds forced and his jokes are not funny.

It made more sense to me when I heard him say that Walton was paying him to be there. No one wants to be replaced by a really funny personality, because "temporary" tends to become permanent in that situation, especially when the replacement is much cheaper.

Their advertisers must be pretty mad by now.

If he has some sort of cancer, he is in the right place there close to md anderson. Treatments are tough on folks and much tougher if you have any type of blood filtering of sort. I just watched a friend go thru chemo form there and 1 year later the cancer came back and blood therapy (stem cell) was treatment of choice and it was really really tough. They bring your immune system down to zero and then filter the blood. She said this was much tougher than the chemo. So lets pray for the guy. They speak what most of us have on our minds.

During normal times they take a LOT of long vacations, after being hospitalized I figured he would not return until after the Fourth of July.

Walton often said that in life, none of us get out alive. He's right, you know. Godspeed, Radio Gawd!

Big part of my life since the late 80s. Especially early morning drives criss-crossing the state throughout the 90s and 00s.

I was listening to them when I found out about 9/11. They were like uncles or big brothers I never had.

RIP John Walton
