00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Live from the historic Newark Market District in downtown Kansas City, Missouri,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
from the banks of the beautiful Crystal Blue Walkers of the Missouri River,

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
it is Two Boosh Bags and Microphone Podcast.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Like stated before, if you believe anything we say or think this podcast anything other than hyperbole,

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:35,000
parody, and just plain stupidness, you're dumber than us, and that's hard to believe.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Woohoo!

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Woohoo!

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Woohoo!

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Woohoo!

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Woohoo!

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Woohoo!

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper, it's strange insults from an alien, real hilarity.

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Hey, your chair produces a sound similar to a fart, but only once.

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Such that you cannot reproduce it and prove that it was just the chair.

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Two monkey fuckers and a toaster will be right back.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Hello everybody, this is Two Boosh Bags and Microphone, I'm Mark.

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And I'm Rob.

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Alright, well as we spoke of probably last podcast, but if not then just a minute ago,

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
and then you probably heard a bunch of stuff like Satan telling you you burned souls to this show or something,

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
or whatever, or some alien telling you a stupid joke.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Here we go.

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:43,000
There was online, there was a Generation Z, the Zoom generation, would you rathers?

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Not only are the questions very interesting and Gen Z-like, but the answers are very interesting and Gen Z-like.

24
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So, on this you get what you get to see exactly, they answered everything exactly like I thought they would.

25
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Exactly like I thought they were going to, unfortunately, but they did.

26
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
So, are you going to ask my opinion on this?

27
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Yes, absolutely.

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Alright.

29
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Yeah, yep.

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Okay, the number one question that they asked them was, pick one thing to erase from existence.

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Fortnite or Facebook?

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:31,000
75% of 108,000 votes, 75% picked Fortnite.

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And that's exactly who I thought they would pick because they rely on Facebook.

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Hey, look at me now, hey look at me, hey look at me, hey look, oh look I got a new pair of shoes,

35
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000
hey look at me I'm dancing with like rabbit ears on me, hey look, you know.

36
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So, that doesn't surprise me, if Fortnite is considered a millennial thing and they hate millennials.

37
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Once they reach a certain age, they start giving up the video games a little more.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
I'm finding out first hand.

39
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yes.

40
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Yeah.

41
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Yeah, yep.

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So, yeah, so there you go.

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And I would, you know, and actually if they asked me I'd be the same way, fuck Fortnite.

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:29,000
And I mean, like I said, Facebook doesn't really do that much for me anymore except keeping in touch with family and friends afar

45
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
and also promoting this podcast. Other than that, I could do without it, honestly.

46
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:48,000
So, the next Generation Zoom would you rather question is, I understand this only because there are certain platforms that I have to go to,

47
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:58,000
to listen to some shows and to see some stuff, but anyhow, post-Dark Humor on 2014 era Tumblr,

48
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:12,000
2014 era Tumblr was completely different than the Tumblr that's out today. It's considered ancient and old and just, you know, not cool, I guess.

49
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And then, or get into a fight with Stan Twitter. Stan Twitter is anybody on Twitter. That's what they call them. I looked it up.

50
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Stan Twitter is like guy down the road screwing with you about something. So, yeah.

51
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:43,000
So, getting into a fight with someone you don't know of on Twitter or post-Dark Humor on 2014 era Tumblr, 74% said that they would rather not be associated.

52
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So, 95, 96,000 votes. 74% said no. No post-Dark Humor on 2014 era Tumblr.

53
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:09,000
They would rather, 26% of them would rather get into a fight with Stan Twitter. And me too, because if you have the chance to piss one of these idiots off, it's pretty fun.

54
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Yeah. Yeah. I don't have enough time for it anymore, but if I did, I'd get on Twitter and just bash the fuck out of people to piss them off.

55
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Or rival football teams, you know, make fun of them.

56
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:33,000
I'm to that point in my life, and like I said, I'm making changes to my life. And I'm good to be more outspoken.

57
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,000
You know what? This will be the only chance you got to speak about whatever, you know what I mean? You have a chance every day to...

58
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Oh, that's a lot of shit.

59
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Yeah, we spoke about some of that before the podcast. Yes, I know this. But I really do mean that idea that I want to come up with maybe, okay? We'll talk about that later.

60
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
So...

61
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You were taking... No, I was taking everything.

62
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Oh, oh, oh, I know. Okay. We're talking about two different things. Forget it. I know... Okay. All right.

63
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Next one. Would you rather have Netflix or Disney Plus?

64
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Now, I don't agree with this one at all, but I knew that this was going to go this way.

65
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
I bet I could guess what they'd pick.

66
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Go ahead.

67
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I bet they'd pick Disney Plus.

68
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Actually, you know what? They did not.

69
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
They did.

70
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:51,000
No, I wrote it down wrong. Good thing I went to the website. Netflix by 64 percent, Disney by 36 percent. I would go with Netflix any day over Disney.

71
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
83,000 votes to 46,000 votes.

72
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I was getting their age.

73
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Oh, that's right.

74
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
I was getting their age. That's where I was being my guess.

75
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Okay. Nope. Netflix won, and that is exactly what I would... that's who I would have went for too.

76
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
I don't know why in the hell I wrote it down wrong.

77
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Disney Plus would have more of their shows.

78
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000
I probably had to take a dump really bad, so I wrote it down wrong. I'm like, oh man, I gotta go take a dump. Shit. You know?

79
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
You never know. You never know.

80
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
That's kind of like me, and I'm sending you two different lists.

81
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
I know, that was funny.

82
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
I wrote clear back. I don't know why I wrote clear back in the back of my notebook.

83
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
That's alright. It was funny. I was just like, oh.

84
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
We'll get it together. We'll get it together.

85
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:50,000
We were driving to the taco place today to meet Val's sister and her guy for Taco Tuesday.

86
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
And anyhow, so I do it over the Jeep, you know, voice, what your text said.

87
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
And Val's like, what the hell? What are all these names? What are you guys doing?

88
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And I told her to ask her. The asshole there, Lembix, was like, oh.

89
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000
It was really funny. Because here's all these names.

90
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Yeah, it was just funny. It was classic.

91
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
So let's shut down that conversation real quick.

92
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Alright, well, you guys have fun with your asshole here.

93
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
We will. We will.

94
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Yeah, good luck to you guys. Keep them going.

95
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Anyhow, wee-wee.

96
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Okay, next one. Would you rather keep a pet...

97
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
What? Hold on.

98
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Okay, would you rather keep as a pet IRL? Which would you rather...

99
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
You know what? I'm just going to go this list online.

100
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Because I think I was falling asleep when I wrote it because I wrote it just in complete...

101
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Okay, okay. I'm just... Hang on a second. Bear with me here.

102
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Let me go online and read this.

103
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I know exactly what you're talking about. You'll see my notes.

104
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

105
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Okay, which would you rather keep as a pet IRL?

106
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Baby Yoda or Minecraft sheep?

107
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I'd rather have Baby Yoda.

108
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Baby Yoda. I would pick that one too.

109
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Who cares about Minecraft and their fucking sheep?

110
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Baby Yoda's cooler.

111
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
I'm going to go with video games again.

112
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Yep. 99.5 thousand votes. So almost 100 thousand votes.

113
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
To 21 percent, which is 25 thousand votes.

114
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000
So Baby Yoda won 79 percent to 21 percent.

115
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And that is a landslide.

116
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000
So good. Everybody loves Baby Yoda though. Who doesn't love Baby Yoda, right?

117
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Hell yeah.

118
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Baby Yoda's cool.

119
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Minecraft sheep?

120
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I'm in a Baby Yoda Facebook group.

121
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Oh, cool.

122
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Alright. Okay.

123
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
It's just different memes.

124
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Oh, it is? It's just got a bunch of memes?

125
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Yeah, it's just different memes with Baby Yoda in it.

126
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Send me a couple of memes, will you?

127
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Of Baby Yoda memes.

128
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Let me find a couple.

129
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
But I don't want to be in the group. I'm in enough groups.

130
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
If you can just like toss a couple to me, that would be cool.

131
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Yeah, yeah, I will. I will.

132
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Okay, thanks.

133
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Alright. Pick a family member to argue with over the holidays.

134
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Your Karen in parentheses aunt, so your aunt that's a Karen, or your close-minded uncle.

135
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Do what?

136
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Pick a family member to argue with over the holidays.

137
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Your Karen in parentheses aunt, so your aunt that's a Karen, or your close-minded uncle.

138
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
I voted my close-minded uncle.

139
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Me too, but they voted your Karen aunt is who you would rather get into an argument with.

140
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
66%?

141
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Well, that shows they don't have no respect.

142
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
No, I know. Well, your close-minded uncle, or your Karen aunt.

143
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
You're afraid of him.

144
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
That's right. You're right. That's it. They're afraid of him.

145
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:38,000
I would rather take on the old man than beat up on some old woman.

146
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
It would be like fucking with Archie Bunker. It would be fun.

147
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:51,000
So anyhow, the Karen aunt by 66%, as opposed to the close-minded uncle, 34%.

148
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
80,000 votes to 40,000 votes.

149
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Interesting there.

150
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
I would think that they would have rather went for the uncle.

151
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I don't know why, but that's just what I thought they would have done.

152
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
The next one. Which millennial food trend would you rather eat?

153
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Rainbow everything, or charcoal everything?

154
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Both of these are trends that went on.

155
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
They had rainbow everything. I think it was for like Gay Pride or something.

156
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And then they had charcoal everything. I'm not sure what that was for.

157
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:33,000
And it's like ice cream that looked like charcoal, or donuts that are like all different rainbow colors.

158
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
And this is exactly what I thought that they were going to go for too.

159
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
The margin was pretty wide, but not as wide as I thought it was going to be.

160
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
What do you think?

161
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I'm guessing they went rainbow.

162
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,000
They did. 68% to 32%.

163
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I personally would go charcoal.

164
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
I would too, because I think it's cool just eating stuff like that.

165
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
I like to get it on the grill, you know.

166
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Yeah, me too. And also I think it would draw more interest.

167
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Rainbow colored stuff would be like, oh that looks delicious.

168
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Charcoal would be like, what the hell is that guy eating?

169
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Looks like a piece of burnt wood. What the hell?

170
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
People would come over and look, what the hell is he doing?

171
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
That sounds more appealing to me than rainbow whatever.

172
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Then you don't have as many people asking you for a piece.

173
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Oh that's true. I ain't eating that burnt shit.

174
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000
That's right you're not. It's mine.

175
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
So the next one.

176
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Would you rather get mistaken for the broken lazy generation or the fortnight generation?

177
00:13:50,000 --> 00:14:01,000
So I'm wondering if the broken lazy generation is X and the fortnight generation is the millennials.

178
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
I don't know, it doesn't clarify. That would be my guess too.

179
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000
This surprised me. I thought it was going to go the other way.

180
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Who do you think?

181
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Do you want my honest opinion? Yes.

182
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Me either.

183
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I think they're going to go the fortnight generation.

184
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
They want the broken lazy generation.

185
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
66% or 76,000 votes.

186
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
The 34% which is 40,000 votes.

187
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
No 39,000 votes not 40.

188
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
So that surprised me a little.

189
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I don't think if they wanted anything to do with Xers and they would rather be with millennials.

190
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,000
I think they hate millennials worse than us. I really do.

191
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
I think it's because they're so close in age.

192
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Yes I think so. It's like they're big brothers that they don't like or something.

193
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

194
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Next one. Which would you rather give up?

195
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Computers and laptops or phones?

196
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
That one is exactly what I thought they were going to pick.

197
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:33,000
And I would pick it too to be honest.

198
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
You got a guess?

199
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
I want to say they're going to give up computers and laptops.

200
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
By 77%.

201
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And like I said I think that's a pretty easy one.

202
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
77% said that they would rather give up their computers and laptops and keep their phones.

203
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
23% said phones.

204
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And I think that's pretty explanatory isn't it?

205
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000
You can go anywhere and be on your phone and stay informed.

206
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:08,000
You know you don't always have Wi-Fi. You don't always have the space available for a laptop or a computer.

207
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
So that's exactly the way I thought it would go.

208
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I'm surprised that 23% picked the phone actually.

209
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
I thought it might be like 1 or 2%.

210
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Because when I first got these it didn't have the answer. You had to push on it for the answer.

211
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
And I got to pick these things organically without knowing anything about it.

212
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:36,000
This comes from a Gen Xer.

213
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Same here. Gen Xer.

214
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Who is part of a podcast.

215
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Yes.

216
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I'm on my phone right now man.

217
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
No, no man. That's how I get all my stuff too.

218
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000
I listen to all different types of stuff. Like I said I listen to Bubba on my phone.

219
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:05,000
I listen to Man Cow does a weekly podcast deal from his home or something.

220
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
I listen to that. I listen to...

221
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
I tried to listen to Bob and Tom the other morning because of Donnie Baker or Ron Sexton that passed away.

222
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
I didn't get a chance to. So I'm going to try to find it.

223
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Yeah I missed it too.

224
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Yeah I'm going to try to find it.

225
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
I'll even listen to local stuff like Johnny Dare on my phone too.

226
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Because it's always there. Unless I'm in the car then I'll just turn it on the rock.

227
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Because that station has a booming signal.

228
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,000
But you know if not I'll listen to it on my phone too along with some other shows that interest me.

229
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
So, okay. Finally the final one.

230
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Would you rather watch old Disney shows or old Nickelodeon shows?

231
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000
And this is the opposite of what I would pick.

232
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Rob you got an idea?

233
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Oh man. Well see I'm thinking back to my kids here.

234
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
I'm thinking back to my kids here.

235
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Honestly I kind of like the Nickelodeon shows better.

236
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Me too. That's exactly what I would have picked too.

237
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:22,000
But they picked opposite. They picked old Disney shows by 71,000 votes, 64%.

238
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,000
As opposed to old Nickelodeon shows 36%, 40,000 votes.

239
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
So...

240
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
I keep trying to see that.

241
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Yeah.

242
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Because I think they're a little separated.

243
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
We're talking about a generation a hell of a lot younger than what we give them credit for.

244
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
So they probably would like Disney. Yeah they probably would.

245
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
So, yeah. Anyhow.

246
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
We'll be right back right after this.

247
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Two Shirley temples and a bottle of scotch will be right back.

248
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:16,000
As pleasant as 50 grit sandpaper to your inner thighs.

249
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Oh shit. What's that over there?

250
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Oh no. It's the island of horrible jokes.

251
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:32,000
I can't take my dog to the lake. The ducks keep attacking me.

252
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000
That's where I get from the purebred dog.

253
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000
This is a voice guide from your favorite podcast, Two Douchebags and a Microphone.

254
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
People often ask us how they can find us when doing a remote broadcast.

255
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,000
One. Smell. Go to the city market and start sniffing.

256
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Our aroma has been described as a mixture of flea powder for goats, Tabasco sauce, and old sock with dark fuzzy urine.

257
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Two. Look for the spot absent of patrons.

258
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Three. The most telling sign is a crowd of patrons vomiting uncontrollably.

259
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Four. Just call us at 816-512-7717.

260
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
No one invited them, but they still linger.

261
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,000
All right, Rob, you got anything you want to throw in right now or do you want to go into a couple of silly stories?

262
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
No, I got a story.

263
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Go ahead.

264
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Something I ran across.

265
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
The floor is yours, my friend.

266
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:56,000
The Internal Revenue Service announced Monday it is ending the decades-long practice of unannounced revenue officer visits to taxpayers.

267
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Good!

268
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000
It looks to decrease taxpayer confusion and enhance safety measures.

269
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
People are probably shooting them.

270
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
What?

271
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,000
People are probably shooting them. Enhance safety measures.

272
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Let me read this and I'm going to go into that.

273
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Oh, sorry. Go ahead.

274
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:40,000
According to the IRS, revenue officers typically visit households and businesses to assist taxpayers in resolving their account balances and collect unpaid taxes, with the exception of a few unique circumstances.

275
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:53,000
The IRS said these unannounced visits will end effective immediately and taxpayers will instead receive a mail letter to schedule appointments.

276
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
That's the way it should have been all along.

277
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Okay, okay. It keeps going, but I'm going to stop right there.

278
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Okay.

279
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Okay, now, correct me if I'm wrong.

280
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Okay, go ahead.

281
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Was this just recently big in the news to where IRS officers were giving the right Victoria Firehouse for their safety?

282
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Yes. Yes, yes, you're right. I forgot about that.

283
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Okay, let's go ahead and put two and two together, right?

284
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Yeah, that's why I came up with this story, because I said, wait a second, this here won't act.

285
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000
And everybody was freaking out like, why can the IRS just carry a gun?

286
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
But now, they're announcing.

287
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
They know their home, their rich.

288
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Yeah.

289
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Okay, good.

290
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Yeah, I can see where it's at.

291
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Well, state of Missouri has decided they're going to back or write to have a gun.

292
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:32,000
You know, so if they come after our guns, our state is going to back us off.

293
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Okay. Okay, well, I think we pretty much hit the nail on the head, didn't we?

294
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Yeah.

295
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Yeah?

296
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Yeah.

297
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Well, I could have told them that. We already knew the government was stupid, right?

298
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Yeah, we already knew. I just thought it was weird.

299
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Everybody was scratching, why were they allowed to carry guns?

300
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Yeah, you're going to show up at somebody's house and go, hey, by the way, you owe us all this money,

301
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000
and we want it immediately, and we want all these fines.

302
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
And you're supposed to go, oh, okay. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, sure.

303
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Hey, you want some tea? No, you're going to go fuck you.

304
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Get the fuck out of here. Get off my land, son of a bitch. You fucking weasel. You worm.

305
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Yeah, we're somebody that's not actually government agency.

306
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Yeah. Yep.

307
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Let's save that for a different show.

308
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Well, I know where you're going there, but I think there's things that...

309
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Save that for a different show.

310
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Okay. Okay, that's cool.

311
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Yeah. Yeah.

312
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
We'll talk about that off there, because I have a couple ideas on that.

313
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

314
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyhow, let's see.

315
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Do you have another story that you want to go into?

316
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Yeah, if you got something to shoot, I got something else.

317
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,000
All right. Well, a Brazilian woman brought new meaning to crime of passion

318
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
after revealing that she fell in love with a mugger who robbed her,

319
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000
and now the two have become inseparable.

320
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,000
The duo detailed their alleged romantic saga on a Twitter video

321
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,000
with over 232,000 views online.

322
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000
She said, I was walking down the street where he lives, and unfortunately,

323
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000
I was mugged. The woman identified as Emanuela told reporters

324
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:39,000
while recounting her first date, in parentheses, at a media event in Brazil,

325
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Jam Press reported. She recalled how the thief took her phone,

326
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,000
but when he saw Emanuela's number in there, he said he had been the one

327
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
who had robbed her, so I guess he called her.

328
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Local media reported it. Well, that's one way to get someone's phone number,

329
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
is steal their phone and get their number.

330
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Meanwhile, the unidentified phonejacker claimed that he had a sudden change

331
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000
of heart amid robbery. I was going through a difficult situation

332
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
because I didn't have a woman, you know, the robber said.

333
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Recalling the unlikely how we first met story, when I saw her photo on the phone,

334
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
I said to myself, what a beautiful brunette. You don't see a brunette like that

335
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,000
every day, and I regretted stealing it. So I called her up and offered her

336
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:37,000
her phone back. So I guess she had another phone, or got another phone,

337
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
and had her number transferred, and he called her on that phone.

338
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,000
It doesn't explain this in this article. And then she was dumb enough to go,

339
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
oh, thanks a lot, violent criminal. Yeah, I thought you were cute too, or whatever.

340
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:58,000
So then the reporter joked, so you stole her phone and then her heart.

341
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
She said, yes.

342
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Hear that, Cromwell? Yeah. Yeah.

343
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Anyhow, did you hear about Cigna Healthcare getting sued?

344
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
This is a little bit more serious. Yeah.

345
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Cigna is a huge healthcare conglomerate, and it was sued.

346
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
It's being sued by the state of California.

347
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
The state of California is starting to do some interesting lawsuits.

348
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Some of them make sense, but I mean, that's what happens when you're like

349
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:43,000
grasping for money too, isn't it? So, yeah, this one I like.

350
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Cigna, the healthcare and insurance giant, was hit with a lawsuit on Monday

351
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,000
that alleges the company systematically rejects claims in a matter of seconds

352
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000
thanks to an algorithm system put in place to help automate the process,

353
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
further raising questions about how technology could harm patients

354
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,000
as more healthcare organizations look to embrace AI and other new tools.

355
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
The suit which was filed in California as seeking class action status

356
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000
was brought forth by a pair of plaintiffs who were denied coverage by Cigna.

357
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Okay, okay, I stand corrected. Someone came to probably an attorney general

358
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000
in California with a specific complaint, and then they looked into it

359
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
and started this lawsuit which is looking to become class action now.

360
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:39,000
One plaintiff, Suzanne Chrysling-Lewan, was referred to an ultrasound

361
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
because of a suspected risk of ovarian cancer.

362
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Another, Ashila Smiley, had been tested for a vitamin D deficiency at the order of her doctor.

363
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Wealth Insurer's digital claims system, called BXDX, is an improper scheme designed

364
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:01,000
to systematically wrongfully and automatically deny its insured medical payments

365
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000
owed to them under Cigna's insurance policies, the complaint alleges.

366
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,000
After the lawsuit was filed Monday, and this is from Forbes Magazine, Forbes Online, by the way,

367
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
after the lawsuit was filed Monday, Cigna defended the software system,

368
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,000
and they said PXDX is a simple tool to accelerate physician payments

369
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:28,000
that has been grossly mischaracterized in the press, spokesperson Justin Sessions said in a statement.

370
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,000
The facts speak for themselves, and we will continue to set the record straight.

371
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,000
So, the suit follows and is going through the court system right now.

372
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,000
It looks to become class action, but right now it is in the state of California,

373
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
and it says for over two months last year, the company denied more than 300,000 claims,

374
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
spending an average of 1.2 seconds on each claim.

375
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
That's all, Rob, 1.2 seconds, and they deny them.

376
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Wow.

377
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Do you believe that they had any factual information in that time, except for maybe keywords,

378
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:11,000
like maybe high blood pressure or heart or cancer or something like that?

379
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:19,000
You see, yeah, I think to me, it looks to me like California might be exactly right on this.

380
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000
So, while medical doctors signed off on the denials,

381
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,000
the systems didn't require them to open patient portal medical records for the review.

382
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
So, the doctor didn't even look at the reviews of them.

383
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Just on this suggestion from the software, the doctor denied these people.

384
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Isn't that fucked?

385
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,000
The complaint says this violates the California competition law for unfair and fraudulent business acts.

386
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
The suit also alleges the system violates the state's insurance code

387
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:57,000
for failing to adopt a reasonable standard for processing claims, which I agree with.

388
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
So, the complaint comes as a boom in artificial intelligence and other advanced technology

389
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
has raised questions about the future of work,

390
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
potentially upending every industry from advertising to insurance.

391
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Health care is one sector where a high-tech makeover could both be beneficial,

392
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:19,000
aiding doctors and filling out burdensome paperwork or helping narrow down diagnoses,

393
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:28,000
but also due to patient privacy, access to health care, and the high cost of medical bills.

394
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Cigna isn't alone in adopting new tech to remake its processes.

395
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,000
In April, Google's cloud division unveiled new tools for health care claims processing

396
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
that uses AI to organize data and streamline decision-making.

397
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
So, it sounds like this.

398
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000
I'm going to come down to how this fucking machine feels about you because of algorithm words,

399
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
which I think is bullshit.

400
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
I don't need to read any further into it.

401
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000
It's, yeah, they can call it whatever they want.

402
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,000
I think California might have this correct, 100% correct.

403
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:15,000
So, my hope is post-class action and they fight this bullshit before it begins very much.

404
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
So.

405
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Yeah, I'm sorry.

406
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,000
I kind of lost my concentration there a minute ago, Mark.

407
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
I was looking something up, something I was going to talk about,

408
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
and it took me into something else.

409
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
It's okay.

410
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
I was on the road with this shit because I'm very passionate about this stuff.

411
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,000
I know you were, I know you were, and I'm glad you were to kind of save me at this point.

412
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,000
That's okay.

413
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:50,000
I was going to say, you know, I've been talking about Ozark amphitheater down here in Campton, Missouri.

414
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Well, they just announced October 6th, 38th special.

415
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Oh, I wouldn't have seen 38th special.

416
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
I didn't know they still toured.

417
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Yeah, well, I ran across that a while ago, and so I just tagged it and saved it, you know.

418
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:18,000
While you were talking about that, I was just pulling it up so I could talk about it.

419
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,000
That's okay.

420
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
It led me into the seating prices.

421
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
How much are the seating prices?

422
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Oh, the upper level is like 40 bucks a seat, man.

423
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Wow, that's a little bit pricier than I thought.

424
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
It's a smaller venue.

425
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
It's a small venue.

426
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:43,000
And you know, if like any concert, there's always a chance to move up.

427
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Yeah, yeah, that's if I even feel like it anymore.

428
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Yeah, right, right.

429
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And actually down here, like I said, it's a small venue, so it's not too bad, really.

430
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Yeah.

431
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Okay, well, maybe we'll go to that one.

432
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
We'll see how it pans out.

433
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Okay, we'll see.

434
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
All right.

435
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:10,000
That sounds good to me, and it'd be not, presumably it'd be a lot cooler then.

436
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Well, I'll think about going in and buying a couple tickets.

437
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
All right.

438
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Do you have something to go with?

439
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,000
If I can't...

440
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Eat one up.

441
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Yeah, buy a couple, and you know what?

442
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Go ahead and get whoever you can to go with you, because I can get a ticket one way or

443
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
another.

444
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
I can get a ticket.

445
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
So...

446
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Yeah, whatever.

447
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Okay.

448
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,000
I will try to join you.

449
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,000
So...

450
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Do you hear about Aaron Rodgers and his New York Jets getting into a huge fight?

451
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Aaron Rodgers isn't a part of it that I know of.

452
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,000
But...

453
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,000
That's funny, because my next story is an Aaron Rodgers story.

454
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Oh, go ahead.

455
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Go ahead with yours, and then I'll go...

456
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Go right ahead.

457
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Go right ahead.

458
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Go right ahead.

459
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Okay.

460
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Aaron Rodgers is a member of the New York Jets for at least the 2023 season.

461
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:08,000
It was nearly six weeks from the time Aaron Rodgers said he intends to play for the Jets

462
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
in 2023 to when the trade actually happened in late April.

463
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,000
The Jets have quickly become one of the more interesting teams going into 2023.

464
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Yes, Rodgers headlines the reason why, however, the Jets have many other interesting storylines

465
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
to watch as well.

466
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:28,000
One of those storylines took place during a massive fight on the Jets, the very first

467
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
training camp practice.

468
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Now, they started a week before, remember this, because they're on hard knocks.

469
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
A fight among teammates can be a bad look, but it's really not uncommon in training camp.

470
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,000
The Crosstown rival New York Giants had an incident last season and emerged from it by

471
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2016.

472
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
These issues are more of a side effect of players battling for roster spots than notable

473
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
dysfunction.

474
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
The Jets are going to be one of the most intriguing teams heading into 2023 and...

475
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Okay, well, I'll get to that here in a minute, what I think.

476
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,000
And withdraw lots of scrutiny given their acquisition of Aaron Rodgers.

477
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,000
They were the most obvious selection for hard knocks this year, though they were very much

478
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
against being featured on the series.

479
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Okay, number one, I think that if they really didn't want to be on the series, they would

480
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
not be on the series.

481
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Number two, I don't think they're getting any traction.

482
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
I don't think anyone gives a shit.

483
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Have you heard any Aaron Rodgers buzz?

484
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
None.

485
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
None.

486
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000
None of the other hard knocks story.

487
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Nobody seems to really give a flying fuck, and I argue with that.

488
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
I think that's wrong.

489
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
I don't think everyone really cares.

490
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
And I think you hear more about Patrick Mahomes.

491
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
You hear more about Jalen Hurts.

492
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
You hear more about little Joey Burrow.

493
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,000
You hear more about all these other ones, but you don't hear that much about Aaron Rodgers

494
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,000
because a lot of different reasons, a lot of different reasons.

495
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
And he's done a lot of it himself at his own hands.

496
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000
So I think that this fight thing probably did happen, but I think they're wasting no

497
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000
time in making it much bigger than what it actually was.

498
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
So go ahead.

499
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
They did want to be on Hard Knocks 2.

500
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,000
If they didn't want to be on Hard Knocks, they would not have been on Hard Knocks.

501
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,000
You wouldn't see them on TV if they did not want to be.

502
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
They had to sign off on it.

503
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
So I call bullshit on that.

504
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Anyhow, go ahead, Rob.

505
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Okay, well, my story on Aaron Rodgers.

506
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:49,000
It was the future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers spent the first 18 years of his NFL career

507
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
at the Green Big Apples.

508
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:58,000
And even though the red step between him and the team seemed to feel a little bit sour this offseason,

509
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:10,000
it's clear the team still very much appreciates what he brought to the organization and they have plans to honor him.

510
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:25,000
During a speech to Green Bay Packers shareholders on Monday morning, Packers president Mark Murphy made it clear the team does intend to retire Rodgers' jersey number.

511
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
I would expect nothing else.

512
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
I mean, he's a Hall of Fame quarterback.

513
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Yeah.

514
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Yeah.

515
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:42,000
The quote was, we want to thank him for all he did during his remarkable 18-year career.

516
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:53,000
He will be first ballot Hall of Famer and we will bring him back and retire his number at the appropriate time.

517
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
We think it is the right time to move on.

518
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:08,000
We think Jordan Love is ready to sat three years behind a Hall of Fame quarterback and learn an awful lot.

519
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Jordan Love did look better last year.

520
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
How much better?

521
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
We're going to see.

522
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
We're going to see how much better.

523
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Will he be an Aaron Rodgers?

524
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
I doubt it.

525
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Will he be a good quarterback that can maybe take him to the playoffs?

526
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Maybe.

527
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
We'll see.

528
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
I mean, I mean, I guess he could be.

529
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:42,000
But I see no indication to tell me that he is a great starter.

530
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:49,000
You know, I mean, even Mahomes though, I mean, Mahomes his first year, he didn't get to play that much.

531
00:39:49,000 --> 00:40:00,000
And when he was in the game, the last game of the year, because we're going to playoffs and they wanted to save Alex Smith for the for the postseason, they wanted to get hurt.

532
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Mahomes did good, but he didn't do great.

533
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,000
So they were still going into the offseason where we really didn't know what quite what we had.

534
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,000
So they could be the deal with Jordan Love is he looks good, but not great.

535
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:18,000
But he's not, you know, maybe this is a year that he comes out just throwing everything, throwing like nuts.

536
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Well, we'll see, you know, there's a there's a rare exceptions that sometimes when you do a Hall of Fame trade like this, where you trade a Hall of Famer and the team that goes to sinks and the team that he leaves the sense.

537
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Keep an eye on this.

538
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000
It could happen.

539
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,000
It could happen.

540
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,000
We'll see.

541
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000
The chemistry over there in the Jets have not been proven.

542
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000
The chemistry in Green Bay was.

543
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Wasn't that good last year because they didn't make the playoffs.

544
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
We're going to see.

545
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:02,000
So, I mean, I kind of like and George Love was Green Bay.

546
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
It's going to be very interesting.

547
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,000
And this is what the NFL loves these storylines.

548
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:15,000
You know, like let's say Aaron Rodgers does good next year, you'll see a matchup between the two because I don't think they play this year.

549
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
I don't think they play each other.

550
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,000
And I doubt if you'll see them both in the Super Bowl.

551
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
So you're probably not going to see him play each other.

552
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:30,000
But like if both teams do well next year, you're going to see the matchup of the lifetime.

553
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Aaron Rodgers goes back to Green Bay to battle his nemesis, Jordan Love.

554
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
And I love these storylines.

555
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
They'll have to sky wrestle.

556
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Yes, it really is.

557
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,000
It really, really is.

558
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Getting to be.

559
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Yeah.

560
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Well, you know what?

561
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
We're going to see here.

562
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
So I've got a story about Zach Wild.

563
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,000
You know, you know, Zach Wild is in Pantera right now, right?

564
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Zach Wild does everything.

565
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,000
He's got his solo stuff.

566
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000
He's got black label.

567
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,000
If Ozzy was to ever play again, he would be doing Ozzy too.

568
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
And he also has his solo stuff.

569
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
He also does Zach Sabbath.

570
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
He also plays in some other stuff here and there.

571
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
He goes into these jam things.

572
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,000
He plays everything and it shows he's great.

573
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:32,000
So anyhow, when I come back, Zach Wild opened up about Dimebag Darrell.

574
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,000
He was really good friends with Dimebag before he was shot and killed on stage.

575
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:46,000
And now he is filling in for Dimebag because Dimebag is no longer with us, obviously, playing Pantera shows.

576
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:54,000
And I'm not sure who's drumming for Vinnie Paul.

577
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
I got to look that up when I get a chance.

578
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
But Pantera is back in.

579
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:08,000
It's got Brown and Phil Insomno, Rex Brown and Phil Insomno playing.

580
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:14,000
And then, you know, with Zach Wild, which is a great replacement for Dimebag.

581
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
And then I don't know who the drummer is.

582
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
I think I did at one time.

583
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
But anyhow, when we come back, I'm going to cover that story.

584
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,000
So hang tight.

585
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Continuing our quest here at Two Douchebags in a Microphone to be constantly funny.

586
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Once again, we offer you strange insults from an alien.

587
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000
When you Oatseat from your computer, will your head go so attached?

588
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Invisible ass paddlings, new douche flavors and horrible pranks.

589
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,000
What the fuck is wrong with these guys?

590
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Two Douchebags in a Microphone, pasteurized for your protection.

591
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:08,000
When taking a shower, remember to scrub your asshole with soapy water because nobody likes a stinky asshole.

592
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,000
All right.

593
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Two Douchebags in a Microphone.

594
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,000
I'm Mark.

595
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000
And I'm Rob.

596
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Welcome back.

597
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:23,000
All right, as for mentioned before the break, I was speaking about Pantera and how Zach was great friends with Dimebag.

598
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:33,000
And Dimebag, of course, was murdered on stage by that madman who was shot and killed, fortunately, right there on the same stage.

599
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,000
But not before he killed this wonderful musician and by all counts, a wonderful person.

600
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,000
He was awesome.

601
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,000
He truly was.

602
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:49,000
The way Zach Wilde talks about him and other people is he just had a heart of gold and just a fantastic person.

603
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000
And someone cold bloodedly murdered him on stage.

604
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
But that idiot got murdered too.

605
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,000
So at least he's in a fiery pit of hell, probably.

606
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Anyhow, talking exclusively in the new issue of Metal Hammer, Black Label Society leader Zach Wilde has reflected on consoling his close friend and Pantera predecessor Dimebag Darrell in the 2000s.

607
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
And this is the early 2000s, right after Pantera broke up.

608
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Following Pantera's initial dissolution in the 2003 Dimebag, real name Darrell Abbott, and this is from Metal Hammer, was unsure of how to continue making music and start afresh with his next band, Damage Plan, according to Wilde.

609
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
The Damage Plan was pretty good.

610
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,000
They weren't nearly as good as Pantera, but I did like some of their stuff.

611
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
And I saw them at the Beaumont Club.

612
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,000
They put on a really good show too.

613
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
And they did a lot of Pantera stuff.

614
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Any show I went to the Beaumont Club was country.

615
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,000
They later on, they started playing rock shows and metals.

616
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Okay, when they first opened they were all country.

617
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:11,000
Just before they went out or whatever they did, quit or whatever, they were everything.

618
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:21,000
They played a lot of metal shows, death metal shows, grindcore shows, they played everything.

619
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And they had a great stage for it and everything.

620
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
The one that I watched Damage Plan in, they were actually in a pit.

621
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000
They weren't above everybody, they were below everybody playing.

622
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Really interesting concept.

623
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Are you talking about Pantera?

624
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,000
No, I'm talking about Damage Plan.

625
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:45,000
This was the after Pantera band of Dimebag.

626
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,000
I think Vinnie Paul was in it too.

627
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,000
I don't know.

628
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Well anyhow.

629
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Okay, so according to Wild Pantera, he had been the guitarist and his drummer,

630
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:07,000
rather Vinnie Paul's life work since they co-founded the groove metal four piece as teenagers in 1981.

631
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
And they went through a lot of changes.

632
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
It was in 1981 right?

633
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:19,000
And the thing is, Pantera was a rare band that was glam and then turned into like hard metal

634
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
or whatever you want to call it after the fact.

635
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
They went through the glam period and they did okay, they had some albums there.

636
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:33,000
But then they got Phil Insomo and Rex Brown with them and then the Pantera that we know about

637
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,000
went around kicking ass and just wiping people's faces off of them.

638
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,000
I liked them quite a bit but that's okay.

639
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:51,000
That was the only time I ever talked to Dimebag when he wasn't a force of positivity.

640
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Wild told writer John Widerhorn.

641
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Chloe was still upset about Pantera.

642
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,000
They worked so hard to get where they did and then it all ended.

643
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
He basically had to start over again.

644
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
He was like, Zach, what am I going to do?

645
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:11,000
To comfort him, Wild sent Dimebag a photo of late Ozzy Osborne guitarist Randy Rhodes

646
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,000
practicing guitar in front of a mirror.

647
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:20,000
I said to Dime, whenever you're feeling down, just look at this picture for inspiration,

648
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,000
he explained, which makes a lot of sense.

649
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:29,000
When Randy Rhodes died, Ozzy was lost.

650
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
He didn't know what he was going to do.

651
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Right?

652
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,000
He was like, fuck.

653
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Ozzy was saying this, he's like, man, everything's gone.

654
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,000
It's destroyed.

655
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,000
It's ruined.

656
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,000
He was depressed.

657
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:50,000
His miracle working guitarist and writer was gone just in one blink of an eye.

658
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000
His best friend was gone.

659
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,000
He didn't know what to do.

660
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:06,000
With the last couple of Pantera records kept getting heavier and if they're on Salmo and

661
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000
the drummer admitted, it was always like, no, we can't do that.

662
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,000
We have to stick to our sound.

663
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,000
It sounds to me like, and I kind of knew this was, like the directions they were going,

664
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:22,000
everybody in the band wasn't really on par with it.

665
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:29,000
It was kind of almost like the good old artistic direction or musical direction.

666
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,000
It was really kind of that type of a situation.

667
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Then after that started a lot of in-fighting and then, you know, like probably Rex and

668
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Dime were ganging up against the original two and they were probably, the two brothers

669
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,000
were probably like, you know, fuck those guys.

670
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
They weren't with us the whole time anyhow.

671
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,000
You know?

672
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,000
So, yeah.

673
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,000
So anyhow, I love that.

674
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:57,000
I love what Zach did, you know?

675
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
He just kind of compared it to the only thing he knew about that in his whole life.

676
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,000
That was like, look, you know, Ozzy could have folded up and said, you know what, we're

677
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
never going to do this again.

678
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000
That's it.

679
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
It's done.

680
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:14,000
But he went out and he found Jakey Lee, did a couple of fantastic albums with Jakey Lee.

681
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Yes, he did.

682
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Yeah, that would be Bark at the Moon and it would also be The Ultimate Sin, two fantastic

683
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,000
records.

684
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000
And then, depending on who you talk to, that fell apart.

685
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
I mean, the reasons why it fell apart depend on who you talk to.

686
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:43,000
So, then they went out and they got Zach Wild and Zach Wild has just been like insanely

687
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:48,000
successful and almost like Randy Rhoades did, you know?

688
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Kind of like a very positive and great experience.

689
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Revive Ozzy's career.

690
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Refresh new life into him.

691
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,000
You know?

692
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,000
So, it was like a new beginning.

693
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Yeah, you know, Randy Rhoades died and the music there was fantastic.

694
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:15,000
But also, another thing that wasn't said in this article, and I doubt if Zach said it

695
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:21,000
too, was Ozzy said all along that Randy Rhoades was not going to be with him much longer.

696
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Randy Rhoades wanted to do acoustical stuff and he wanted to teach acoustical.

697
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,000
He didn't want to do any of the stuff that he was playing.

698
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
He just happened to be very good at it.

699
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,000
He didn't want to do Ozzy anymore.

700
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
He didn't want to play hard rock or heavy metal.

701
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
He wanted to do his own thing.

702
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,000
And Ozzy kept saying, come on man, we're just now hitting it big.

703
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Stay with us.

704
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
But he said that he knew for sure.

705
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,000
And this was in like 95.

706
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,000
He said, Randy would not been with me today.

707
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
And I doubt if he would have been with me after Diary of a Madman anyhow because he

708
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,000
simply did not want to do that type of music anymore.

709
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,000
That wasn't what he liked.

710
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:09,000
So, you know, that era of Ozzy was probably gone anyhow because Randy didn't want to do

711
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
it anymore and he couldn't really talk him into it at the time.

712
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:22,000
So, I think that maybe his movie Gamelin was already happening anyhow so he had to go out

713
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,000
and find someone different.

714
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:28,000
He found Jakey Lee who was a fantastic, phenomenal guitarist and perfect for him at the time

715
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,000
with that 80s sound because Jake had that 80s sound.

716
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:39,000
But then when they evolved and went later into the later 80s like 87, 88, 89 and they

717
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:45,000
started doing different rhythms and different types of songs, Zach Wilde was the perfect

718
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,000
guy for that.

719
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:54,000
So, it all worked out and the new beginnings and everything that Zach was showing Dime

720
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Bag was exactly what he was needing to hear and I think it's appropriate that Zach Wilde

721
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:09,000
is, nobody fills his shoes but stepping in his shoes to do this music again.

722
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,000
No.

723
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000
I think it's fantastic.

724
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:20,000
I'm telling you, once I started listening to Zach Wilde I fell in love with him.

725
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Oh, he's a phenomenal guitarist.

726
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,000
Phenomenal.

727
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:31,000
So, there's not very many people that can match even close to him.

728
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:36,000
So, like I said, there's a couple of them there that I like up there like Nuno Bettencourt

729
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,000
is one of them.

730
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Zach Wilde, I mean, is just, yeah, there's people that can play really fast and really

731
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,000
quick and technically sound and there's people that can do all of that with feeling and Zach

732
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
and Nuno are like that.

733
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,000
All of that with feeling.

734
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,000
They can actually write a song.

735
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:00,000
They can actually write something that sounds that's good that you want to hear.

736
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,000
There's these guitarists like John Five is one of them, the Motley Crue now.

737
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,000
Don't care for them.

738
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,000
No feeling.

739
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Just...

740
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Nothing.

741
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Nothing there.

742
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,000
No feeling.

743
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Yeah, they're technically sound.

744
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:20,000
They fucking hit every note perfectly.

745
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,000
But they're boring.

746
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:31,000
So, anyhow, that's my take.

747
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:37,000
And, well, Rob, do you got anything you want to go with or are we going to go ahead and

748
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,000
shut this show down for tonight?

749
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Actually, I'm thinking about shutting down, man.

750
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Yeah, you're sounding like it.

751
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,000
You're sounding like it.

752
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
You got a final thought for us?

753
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,000
I'm not really sure.

754
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,000
All right.

755
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Okay.

756
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,000
My final thought is...

757
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,000
It's a long day.

758
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Okay.

759
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,000
My final thought...

760
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Oh, hang on.

761
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Hang on.

762
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Hang on.

763
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,000
I've got to do this.

764
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
It's only going to take a couple of minutes.

765
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:16,000
I've got to retell my story about taking over my friend's Bluetooth many years ago in

766
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,000
his van.

767
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,000
You know what?

768
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,000
I'm going to write it all out.

769
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Yeah, go ahead and do it.

770
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,000
That'll give me time to come up with a final thought.

771
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,000
Okay.

772
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Well, back in the 90s...

773
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Yeah, okay.

774
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:30,000
When they first...

775
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Late 90s, I believe, they first started coming out with cell phones.

776
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Then they evolved into internet phones.

777
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:46,000
And then one of the very first Bluetooths was, I think, I don't know, early 2000s, something

778
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,000
like that.

779
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,440
Well, I went out and I got one of those Nokia phones that had the internet on it and it

780
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,000
had Bluetooth on it.

781
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:58,320
Well, this old man that I used to work next to went out and he bought a van, a Chrysler

782
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:04,320
van that was Bluetooth enabled, but none of us knew what Bluetooth was.

783
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,880
So I was sitting there...

784
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,880
I believe I was talking or something.

785
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,760
Or what the hell was I doing?

786
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:12,760
Or...

787
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,960
Yeah, I wasn't really listening to internet radio.

788
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,120
Not much.

789
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,480
But he was right next to me in the parking lot.

790
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:27,680
And he turned on his car and it automatically connected to his...

791
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:34,800
I'd seen it flash up and say, would you like to connect to a so-and-so minivan?

792
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,280
And then before I had a chance to hit it, it connected to it.

793
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,360
And my stuff was running over his... on his speakers.

794
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:45,400
And he started looking around and going, what the hell?

795
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,680
And so I'm like, oh wow.

796
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:54,560
So I figured out that I could, being close to him, I could connect to him and play whatever

797
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,000
I wanted.

798
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,760
So anyhow, I was sitting there playing polka.

799
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,660
I found this polka station like a little bit before online.

800
00:57:04,660 --> 00:57:09,620
So when I found that, I found that on the internet and I started playing polka music

801
00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:12,160
on his van on lunch break.

802
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,160
And he's going nuts.

803
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,840
He doesn't even know what the fuck to think.

804
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:15,840
He's like, what the hell?

805
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,760
And he's like bitching about it and stuff and going nuts.

806
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,880
I'm going, I can't fucking believe it, man.

807
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,760
This fucking polka music stuff keeps coming out of my van.

808
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:30,720
And so he finally started shutting the car off to where it wouldn't play anything.

809
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,980
But then the weather started changing, started getting hotter.

810
00:57:33,980 --> 00:57:38,200
So he started turning it on for the air conditioning because me and him used to go park right underneath

811
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:39,200
this shade tree.

812
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,560
He'd be on one side, I'd be on the other.

813
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:48,000
But one day I had to go to the doctor in the morning and that parking lot was already taken

814
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,240
and there was an auxiliary parking across the road.

815
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,200
I'm like, oh shit, I can't get him today.

816
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:59,920
So I go around the auxiliary parking lot and I start looking at my phone and it says, would

817
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,640
you like connect to so and so minivan?

818
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,560
No one else had a minivan like this brand new one that he bought.

819
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,200
And it was Bluetooth enabled.

820
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:10,200
Nobody knew it was Bluetooth.

821
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,760
Nobody knew what Bluetooth was at the time.

822
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,840
So anyhow, it connected to it and I'm way over another parking lot.

823
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,440
He doesn't even know that I'm there.

824
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,440
He thinks I'm missing today because I got there at lunchtime and I had to park in the

825
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:27,320
auxiliary parking lot and I'm still connected to his van and playing fucking polka music.

826
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,600
And I see him out there fucking shaking his hand.

827
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,960
It's like piss as hell.

828
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,720
He shuts his fucking van off.

829
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,200
He's sweating in it because he doesn't want to hear polka anymore.

830
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:43,480
And I'm like, all right, I go, well, the final test is, is he lived in Cleveland, Missouri,

831
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:47,480
like I did, and he lived up the road a little ways.

832
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:51,560
So anyhow, I was a couple of calls behind him.

833
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:52,560
Yes, I did.

834
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:58,040
I was a couple of calls behind him all the way home and it stayed connected the whole

835
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,200
time.

836
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:05,120
I had to, I had to kind of run the stoplight at Sneed's otherwise he was going to get away

837
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,120
from me.

838
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,120
So anyhow, I kind of ran the stoplight there.

839
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:15,960
But other than that, I was behind him the whole way and connected to him all the way

840
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:16,960
to Cleveland.

841
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,440
And then my house is like a few blocks away from him.

842
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,240
So I would turn down my street.

843
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,720
By the time he got to his street, he didn't care.

844
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,920
He shut the car off and probably didn't even notice that it shut off at that point.

845
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:36,080
So anyhow, he kept bitching about this and I told him, I said, man, I go, you know, I

846
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:43,040
really, I read a report somewhere that like these minivans have a fucking flaw in them.

847
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,040
He's like, yeah.

848
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,920
And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a recall.

849
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:48,920
He goes, what?

850
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,080
I go, yeah, yeah, it's a recall, man.

851
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,000
They're playing like some weird ass fucking polka music or something.

852
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,040
And they don't know how to get it to quit.

853
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,720
You got to take them in and they like do something to it, like put some kind of computer thing

854
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:01,720
up to it.

855
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:02,720
And this shuts this shit down.

856
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:03,720
And he goes, really?

857
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:04,720
Yeah, yeah.

858
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:05,720
Yeah.

859
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,720
And I thought you were having some problems like that.

860
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,280
He goes, yeah, I want to take a fucker in.

861
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:11,760
They better fucking fix it, man.

862
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:12,760
I'm madder than hell.

863
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:13,760
I can't fucking quit.

864
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Listen, this bullshit drive me nuts.

865
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,440
I'm like, okay.

866
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,080
So Bill goes into this place and he's screaming.

867
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,400
I'm going, fix my fucking, and they think he's nuts, man.

868
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:25,480
I would love to have been there.

869
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,360
I wasn't, but he said like, they're like pretty much laughed him out of the building.

870
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,280
He goes, it's happening every damn day.

871
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:32,280
And then they came out there.

872
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,280
He goes, here, come on out.

873
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:34,280
I'll show you.

874
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,560
And he couldn't get it.

875
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,760
And they're like, uh huh, okay.

876
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,840
They think he's a drunk or something.

877
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,200
Okay, buddy, sure.

878
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,120
So anyhow, it got so bad to where I remembered something the other day.

879
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,560
They even took the car in for a day to act like they did something to it because there's

880
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,080
nothing else they could have done with it.

881
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,800
This problem didn't exist.

882
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,840
There was not a recall on it or nothing.

883
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,600
So they actually took the car in for a day to appease him.

884
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:10,560
And then finally, I think they were pursuing like some sort of an order against him because

885
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,920
he kept fucking with him saying, fix my car and there's nothing wrong with it.

886
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:18,040
So he ended up trading it in.

887
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:22,480
And then that's when the fun stopped.

888
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,920
He traded in his new mini bag because I got fucking with him with a station that was called

889
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:32,680
Cape Holt, which is still on air because I played it when I told the story with Topher.

890
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:37,080
And the reason I'm telling the story again is because I think I went to school with this

891
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:38,080
guy.

892
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:45,280
He sent me a request for that story that he heard and I could not find it in the archives

893
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,280
anywhere.

894
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,840
I'm not sure what episode it's on, but I can't find it.

895
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,120
So here I am repeating the story.

896
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,720
That's the story you mentioned on the last one.

897
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:58,720
Yes.

898
01:01:58,720 --> 01:01:59,720
That you were going to dig up.

899
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:00,720
Okay.

900
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:01,720
Yes.

901
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:02,720
Yeah.

902
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,960
Or I mentioned to you or something because my friend, I'm pretty sure I went to school

903
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:07,960
with him, but anyhow.

904
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:08,960
You mentioned it on the air.

905
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:09,960
Okay.

906
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:10,960
Yeah.

907
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:11,960
Yeah.

908
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:12,960
The story you were going to look at.

909
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:13,960
Yeah, you found it.

910
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:14,960
Okay.

911
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:15,960
Yeah.

912
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:23,720
And that's the story that I was just going to go find it and then just add it on to a

913
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,160
podcast, but I couldn't find it.

914
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:27,760
I don't know where it's at.

915
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,280
So I had to do it like this.

916
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,120
So anyhow, there you go everybody.

917
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:37,560
In Cape Holt, my phone is over there and I'm not going to bother even looking for it tonight,

918
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:42,880
but Cape Holt still exists and they still play polka music 24 seven.

919
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:47,240
So anyhow, Rob have a fantastic evening.

920
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:48,640
Thank you everybody for listening.

921
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,040
I hope you have a great night.

922
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,040
Bye.

923
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,040
Bye.

924
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,040
What he said.

925
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,040
Bye.
