| Q. | How come you guys don't have a TV show? Imus has one and he is practically a corpse. |
| A. | It's because television fears us. And on Imus, if you live to be that old after ingesting the massive quantities of drugs and alcohol he has, you are to be congratulated.
As for why TV airs the show, I guess it's because some people enjoy watching an old guy wearing a cowboy in the middle of Manhattan who seems to have slipped into a coma. |
| Q. | Do you accept e-mails with naked pictures attached? |
| A. | Sure we accept them. We may or may not like them... |
| Q. | How many tattoos do you have? |
| A. | One of us has birthmark shaped like a mushroom cloud...does that count? |
| Q. | Are you guys really that horny, or is it just an act? |
| A. | It's just an act...a very horny act. |
| Q. | How do I get into the radio business and do a show like W&J? |
| A. | You might want to rethink that one.
First of all, there aren't shows "like ours" anymore. Radio companies today are primarily interested in paying less money and strive for a future with fewer shows like ours and more stacked audio files in their system automation. There is no situation we know of where a young broadcaster is being allowed to experiment and make the mistakes it takes to morph into a show like W&J.
If you are a creative type, you might try something where creativity is actually encouraged. Like an Ultimate Fighting Champion or a tattoo artist. |
| Q. | How much do you weigh? |
| A. | More than a Greyhound and less than a Chevy Tahoe. |
| Q. | How come you guys don't laugh as much as the other shows? I just moved down from Ohio. Bomb and Tub laugh at everything...the time...the day...their names...etc. What gives? |
| A. | Sorry. We laugh only when something is funny. It's usually something a listener or guest says. It seems to us that only the mentally unbalanced should be able to "crack themselves up."
We shall attempt to pay closer attention in the future. Maybe we're missing some funny moments (or the other guys are just a bunch of big phonies). |
| Q. | How do you guys stay on the air? Don't you constantly violate the rules? Aren't you wanted by the law? |
| A. | Hey, that's 3 questions. Over the 23 years of doing the show we have never had an FCC fine. We are well versed on the the rules and follow them. While we seem like radio outlaws, we merely push the envelope.
Free speech, however, is not free. We have often had vendettas and crusades against us and have suffered the slings and arrows of litigation on several occasions.
Like the Dixie Chicks, we too have been persecuted. |
| Q. | If we as a listener have a different opinion than you guys on your many and varied topics, what do we do? |
| A. | Get a radio show of your own on which to dispense your narrow and distorted point of view. |
| Q. | How many people are on the show? |
| A. | As few as two and sometimes as many as 20 (like when a bigger band is in the house). |
| Q. | Why are you called "Radio Gawds"? |
| A. | Who knows. Some listeners started using that phrase and it just kind of stuck. We have never uttered the phrase ourselves. We don't insist that anyone call us that but we do want you to WORSHIP US....WORSHIP US....WORSHIP US. |
| Q. | What the hell is a 10%'er? |
| A. | The W&J Show is not recommended for the average idiot radio listener who prefers "light airy favorites of the 60s and 70s". Most of our listeners are witty, intelligent, and well compensated folks who "get" the sophisticated satire and commentary on the W&J Show. Since on average only about 10% of all available radio listeners are so blessed these folks became known as the 10%'ers.
If you are new to show and are not getting it yet...be patient. Most 10%'ers had to "grow into" their power, much like Shaolin monks in the old west. Your day is coming, Grasshopper. |
| Q. | What happened to Story Guy and the Movie Ninja? |
| A. | Story Guy is gone forever (Grim Reaper gets us all). But Movie Ninja could come back some day if we can find him. |
| Q. | What is the phone number to call the show? |
| A. | 1 866 I LOVE WJ.
Or for you people who love the numbers...1 866 456 8395. Yes, we know it is pretentious. But we didn't acquire the number. Ernie K. an engineer from years ago landed it for us (1998 was the year). |
| Q. | I've got pictures you guys need to see, but I can't e-mail them to you. What do I do? |
| A. | Attach your pictures to an e-mail and send them to fanstuff@waltonandjohnson.com. |
| Q. | Where does Billy Ed get his adorable laugh? |
| A. | From the lost and ancient temples of Chile, inside the jungles of Madness. |
| Q. | Why does Walton and Johnson rule so freakin' much? |
| A. | God wants it that way. So does Chuck Norris. Any questions? |
