You are just like a cloud, it's a beautiful day when you disappear
Two thimble dicks and a crash cart will be right back
Alright everybody, two douche bags and microphone on Mark
And I'm Rob
Alright, I got a little something I want to start off with
Remember how Sean Payton was motherfucking the whole Broncos organization
Including their ex-coach, Nathaniel Hackett and everything, right?
Which is pretty much, you know, that's not something you want to do
It's not a good look and it's not something you should do
Well, Tony Dungy weighed in on this
And to me if Tony Dungy weighs in on this, it needed to be said, right?
Agreed?
He's pretty mild-mannered, very sensible, very good guy
And anything that he says I respect
Tony Dungy is the latest member of the NFL community to share his opinion about Denver Broncos head coach
Sean Payton's verbal torching of New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett
There's a certain respect for each other in the game that you don't say that publicly
Dungy explained during an appearance on the Dan Patrick show
About Payton going after a fellow coach in such a way per Andrew Gold of the Spun
For a USA Today piece published last week
Payton declared that his predecessor may have executed one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL
When Hackett served as Broncos head coach for only 15 games turned 2022 campaign
Payton later expressed remorse and indicated that he still had his fox hat on when he made his original remarks
A reference to how the 59-year-old spent last season working as an analyst for Fox Sports
Dungy, retired NFL head coach, currently serves as a contributor for NBC Sports Football Night in America program
Sean said, well, I had my fox hat on
This is Tony Dungy quoting this
Well, you aren't working for Fox anymore, Dungy continued on Wednesday
Dungy also made it known that criticizing a current coach as a broadcaster isn't the same as an active coach making things personal by slamming up here
Hackett left no doubt he's fired up over the matter during his response to Payton delivered on Tuesday
As a coach, a coach's kid, we live in a glass house, Hackett said at that time per Rich Seminy of ESPN
We know that, we all live in different rooms, we all have a key for it, it's one of those things, there's a code, there's a way that things are done in that house
Hackett added that he believes Payton broke an unwritten code by publicly ripping a fellow coach while speaking on record to a reporter
And you know what? I agree
You know all that Sean Payton did was he left no room for anything for himself
So this year if he fails and he doesn't get in the playoffs, he is going to be the most criticized person of all year
He's going to be laughed at because people are going to go, you mowed off and you couldn't do a much better job than the guy you mowed off about
Now let's not forget, Sean Payton was suspended for a year, wasn't he?
Because of the dirty hits on Brett Favre
Oh, oh, I know all about that story, yes, when he was with New Orleans
Yes
Okay, the reason why that story caught my attention
Yes
Is Greg Williams
Yes
The coordinator
The defensive coordinator
Actually, yeah, he was the high school coach at Belton High School when I went to Belton High School
He sure was
He quit and went to Texas, which one was it?
A&M
Texas A&M I think
I think it was A&M, but if not it was Tech, it was one of those two
I think it was A&M, the Eggers
And then he went on to join the Houston Oilers
Yep
Then he went on, and then when the Houston Oilers went to the Texans, the Houston Texans, they got the Super Bowl
That was the first time I seen him after high school, was in that Super Bowl
Well after that I started following him
Yeah, he was the one that was involved in that Sean Payton deal
Yes, and I believe they didn't even give him the Lombardi Trophy, did they?
No, that son of a bitch made me run more than anybody
I hated him
It wasn't just me, he made all of us run
No, actually I know a lot of people that went to Belton and they say the same thing
So, yeah, yeah, yeah, Greg Williams, yep
Yeah, that was his defensive coordinator, and Sean Payton had a big hand in it too
And we had a 13 year losing streak with him
And he goes on to do all this
It's kind of hard to believe that someone like that got that far in professional football as in the NFL
Yeah
You're not the only person that told me that
I know many people, almost half of my friends, it's like this
Let's say I have 300 friends, 200 of them either went to Belton or Grandview
Right
And then the rest of them probably I grew up with around the Cleveland, Missouri area, Casemidway, that whole thing
So, yeah, so, anyhow, yeah, that is it because I worked in near Grandview
I played near Grandview, in Grandview, Belton, that whole area, you know, those were our stomping grounds
So, yeah, I know a lot of people that knew him
Personally, I did not, we never played Belton
Right
They were at the time 3A and we were 1A
Now they're like 5A
Yeah, we were barely 1A
And like I said before
He's a dick, he's a dick, that's all there was to it
Yeah, yeah, you're not the only person that told me that
But I would believe that if I just heard it from you anyhow
But I've heard it from a lot of different people
Nobody liked him and I believe that
So, anyhow, Sean Payton has also made some claims
He's just being a dick and I don't understand why he's doing this
Because he put an X on Mahomes and the Chiefs back
Why would you pick a fight with a big dog?
Why would you even put yourself on the map of anyone as talented as the Chiefs and Mahomes
And the whole clan there?
Why would you try to give him any type of billboard material?
Because he said something to the effect of, you know, oh no, no, you know, I was talking about
I come here to win and we're going to win
He kind of disrespected the Chiefs without disrespecting them
And I guarantee you that is somewhere in a one-ero head drive in a locker room somewhere
And it's going to be used as future motivation
You're going to go by and read that and go, okay, alright, Mr. Payton
That's the route you want to take
I can see that, but I can also see why he probably did it
Because it's his first year
He's got to make a showing
He's got to show, he's going to show the police his...
He's coming into the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs
He's got to stand up
He can't just sit back and be quiet
You know what I mean?
He's got to fight
They spent good money to get him
He can't just sit back and...
I mean, you know, I can see both sides of that
Okay, alright, fair enough
And you're probably correct on that
Because I know no other reason why he'd do that
So, okay
Alright, well we shall see
The season's vastly approaching
We are in mini camp right now
And actually it's in August
So we're like, what, a week away from the first preseason game?
Something like that, yeah
So, anyhow
I'm looking forward to that
It's going to be a very interesting season
Because the Jets have A-Rodge now
Yeah
And, you know, we have other people that are very talented in AFC too
So it's pretty much like this
Except for Jalen Hurts
All the other good quarterbacks are pretty much in...
I mean, the top echelon ones are pretty much in AFC
Except for Jalen Hurts
I'm waiting to see what Jordan Love's going to do
I'm interested
He looked pretty good last year
I'm looking forward to what he's going to do as starter
Yeah
It's going to be an interesting year
It is, it is
On a lot of different levels
A lot of little subscripts being written already
So, it'll be good
Yes, yes
Alright, next on the bill here
We have another Kurt Cobain guitar being sold
Well, it hasn't been sold yet
But what it does, it's going to command hundreds of thousands of dollars like the other ones
Oh yeah, I guarantee it
So, anyhow
This is before Kurt became big with Nirvana
He took this guitar and he carved the word SICK at the bottom of it
It's a Tesco signed by Kurt Cobain is going under the hammer
Cobain signed the guitar two years before he joined Nirvana
A Tesco Delray EV2T that was signed by Kurt Cobain two years before he joined Nirvana is under the hammer
The guitar is part of the GWS auctions
Like the other ones that sold his guitars
Forcoming artifacts of Hollywood and music becoming the latest guitar to have passed through the late Nirvana frontman's hand to go up for auction
Considering that Cobain didn't actually own the guitar
Oh, okay, I didn't know this
It's not expected to sell for as much
Say his 1966 Fender Jaguar or the blue Mustang he played in the video of Smells Like Teen Spirit
They went for a lot of money
Hundreds of thousands
Oh, I bet
And probably closer to half a mil
So anyhow, it says you got a half million lying around and you could be the new owner of Keith Richards' old Ferrari
So anyhow, Cobain did carve the word SICK into the guitar's body and signed the rear
And such altercations can net an item a higher price at the auction
So the guitar was originally owned by Johnny Cooper who said
I did a lot of jamming with Kurt Cobain and told and of the band Nirvana
He said we spent a big part of our younger years on the road up and down the west coast doing what we loved playing music
This Tesco Del Rey EV2T in Lake Placid Blue was used and played and signed by Kurt Cobain
In 1985 while Kurt stayed at my apartment here in Olympia, Washington
Kurt took the guitar and carved the word SICK at the bottom of it
And then after that I had Kurt sign it on the back
There are some nicks on the guitar and one string missing
It's not going to matter, his tore up guitar brought out hundreds of thousands
The ones he smashed on MTV
We covered it on the podcast but I don't think you were quite on here yet
You may have been guessing but anyhow it sold for hundreds of thousands
The Tesco Del Rey EV2T has been reappraised by guitarists in recent years
And has become increasingly sought after despite being produced as low as $50 catalog guitar in the late 1960s
This particular Tesco carries a minimum bid of $10,000 but it's going to go much higher than that
In 2020 the iconic Martin D18E that Cobain played during Vanna's famous MTV unplugged session went under the hammer for just over $6 million
Making it the most expensive guitar ever sold
I could see that
I could too, look
That was a classic video
It was and it changed the face of music
It did
And I mean honestly like I said before
I may not be getting Cobain's guitar
But I would be more like maybe Chris Cornell's guitar
I was much more, I mean Nirvana was fine
Right
And I liked him
But I was much more in the sound garden
Right, me too
Yeah so I would have been more to get Cornell's guitar
And if I had that kind of money I would probably be bidding just to have that on my wall in my man cave
Just so I'd be like hey you see that right there
Take a little close look at it
See what name's on it
And then you know people be like ooh and ah and wowing of course like they should
So
And speaking of stuff like this
Were you a big fan of the Sopranos?
No I was not
Okay well I was
Great show
One of the best shows ever
If you ever get a chance to watch it, watch it
Start with a
I think I will start binge watching that
I mean I
Start with a
I just never had the opportunity to sit down and watch it
Do yourself a favor
Start from the first episode
Don't skip one of them
Go in consecutive order
That's the only way to do it
Go in consecutive order all the way through
And then get back with me
So fans of the Sopranos have a chance to win
To own a piece of
Not to win I'm sorry
To own a piece of the show's history
Tony Sopranos boat name the Stugots
Is up for sale by United Yacht Sells in Stanford, Connecticut
For a whopping $299,900 asking price
The 1999 Cape Fear 47 was featured in the show's first season
As one of three boat models used to represent James Gandolfini's characters
Two boats
The Stugots and the Stugots 2
So
Tony Sopranos boat isn't the only piece of memorabilia from the Sopranos
It has been up for grabs since the show ended in 2007
In the famous I'm adding this
In the famous fade to black scene that is still argued
Over many many times a day
On what actually was the fate of this character Tony Soprano
Some people say it going black meant that he was killed
Because they discussed what they thought happened
Him and his brother-in-law discussed previously on three episodes before
How they think that everything goes black when you die and that's it
Nothing happens
So on the last episode very famously
It goes black
So half the people thought that he was killed
And the other half thought that well it just ended and there wasn't anything to it
But anyhow it was a brilliant way of ending the series
And a great way to keep it alive forever because people will constantly argue that
That we're fans of the show
And when you see it when you watch this you get back with me
I want your take on it
On what happened
In August 2007 the Real Life Strip Club behind the bottom being auctioned off several items on eBay
Including stripper poles, a pool table, a disco ball and more
By August 2008 Gandolfini had also sold his personal costumes at Auction with Christie's
Which sold for $187,750
All proceeds from the auction were then donated to Non-Profit Wounded Warrior
Which he was a very big advocate of
And did a lot of great things for there
Here's everything you need to know about Tony Soprano's famed boat
What is the Stugots?
Tony Soprano owned two boats throughout the series
The Stugots and the Stugots 2
Which were portrayed by three different models
Stugots refers to an Italian slang word for men genitalia
According to United
According to the
And I've heard Italians call each other a Stugot before
I had no idea that it meant dick
I just thought it meant a stupid fucker
I didn't know it meant dick
According to United Yacht Sales
The boat currently for sale is on the Cape Fearfory
And I grew up with a bunch of Italians
Like I said before I'm Greek
When I was growing up they didn't really have a Greek section
They threw us over in the Italian section
You guys are the same, get over there
I know your mom made some awesome goulash
She did
Yes
Now that goulash is actually Greek spaghetti
Their version of spaghetti
We call it goulash
But it's a little bit enhanced
It's not just like goulash as we know it
But anyhow she did make
Did you ever have her pizza?
Did you ever have her pizza that she made?
I don't think so
I might have
I don't remember
Oh that shit was so good
Oh my god
We used to have people calling up going
Hey when are you guys going to have pizza again?
I'm like I don't know
Hang on let me ask my mom
Hey mom
I don't have any dough right now
I gotta get some more dough
Whatever
So anyhow
According to United Yacht Sells
The boat currently for sale is the Cape Fear 47
Which was featured in the show's first season
Damn it
I miss her goulash or Greek spaghetti
Fuck
Now I'm having a hard time reading
Because man
Ugh
This here tells you how much we jump around about the boat
I know
You just
Capprano's boat and your mom's goulash
All in one company
Yeah and now I can't get off my mom's goulash
I'm trying to finish this article here
Damn it
I'm sorry
No no no no
Though it makes me realize father time is a motherfucker
Because she'll never
It is
She'll never make goulash again
Because she just does
You know
She just
Can't really do it that well
And it just sucks
So anyhow
I'm going to go back to this
According to United Yacht Sells
The boat currently is for sale in the Cape Fear 47
Which was featured on the show's first season
During the first episode
The lauded season 4 episode Whitecaps
Was when it was on again
And the episode simply titled Pilot
Tony Soprano takes his mistress Irina
On the boat for a rendezvous
In season 2 of The Sopranos
The boat was replaced with a 43 foot egg harbor sport yacht
And was featured in the episode Bust Out
Which Tony Soprano took his son AJ
Out on the boat
So anyhow the original boat appeared again in season 4
During the episode of Whitecaps
Where Benny Fonzio and Little Polly Germani
Anchored the boat offshore from the
Allen Spaisley's home in Seabright, New Jersey
In Blastine Martin concert series through the speakers
By season 6 of the series
Tony Soprano had a new boat named
The Stilgots 2 which was a 55 foot ocean yacht
This boat was featured in the episode Johnny Cakes
When Tony Soprano and AJ go fishing
So anyhow, you have that much money?
Go buy the son of a bitch
No
I don't have that much money
And you know I'm into all this nostalgia stuff
For some reason a boat doesn't do it for me
That just doesn't do it
I don't really care about the boat
I got the lake, I just don't have the money
Yeah, no kidding
Oh, okay
Hear about the sea otter that is like attacking surfers?
No, I have not
Yeah, over in Santa Cruz, California area
There's a sea otter that's very aggressive
And they can't catch him, he's too slick
He goes and knocks people off of their boards
And then takes off
He's like a rogue sea otter that is just screwing with people in the ocean
Kind of like, hey, get out of my ocean you dickwad
And there's nothing they can really do about it
They can't catch him
They've been trying to catch him for...
I've been catching them for over a year
This has been going on for like a half a year
Wow
Yeah, isn't that great?
Sea otters just jacking up people, that's funny
It is
Let's see, anyhow
The sea otter launched into the national spotlight after images of her aggressively wrestling surfboards away from surfers off the coast of Santa Cruz
California circulated on social media as building a fan club as it continues to evade capture
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the nearby Monterey Bay Aquarium
Been trying to capture the five-year-old animal known as Otter 841 since last week
Because they say she poses a public safety risk
And they say they want to examine and relocate her in a zoo or aquarium, but to no avail
So I don't think she's a danger
I think that this thing is just having fun
Yeah, that's fun
Unless somebody seriously gets injured, I have fun
And I guess I do get what they're saying, someone could actually drown or die doing it
Yeah, but it's okay, I guess they're trying to stop it before that happens
I see that, but hey, let's have some fun while we can
Yeah, leave the otter alone, we're team otter, right?
Yes, I am, I mean hell with what we used to do
Hell yeah
Master Ma, come on man
That was funny though
It was good though
What was brought up on the last podcast about how we used to take other people's hands
And touch them to other people's dicks
Yes, yes
Oh my god, I was fucking giggling, I was listening to that podcast
I was rolling, I was rolling
Val was doing some shopping and I was actually in the car
And I was going to move the car to another parking lot
Because we were going up the road to do some shopping
And we didn't want to have to walk up the hill and down the hill a couple of times
So I was relocating the car while she was shopping
And I started listening to that podcast
And I just crack up laughing because I remember vividly doing that to people
And they would just fucking burn their whole mind out
They were like ahhhh
How brilliant, if I don't say so myself
So, anyhow, now to something a little serious
You know that leprosy is making a comeback in Florida?
Is it?
A 53 year old man diagnosed with leprosy adds to a growing number of cases in the southern US
Which appears to be a new hot spot for the disease
It follows recent alerts from the US Centers for Disease Control
Of prevention of the first cases of locally acquired malaria in the US in two decades
Four of which were in Florida
So now they have malaria and leprosy there
Leprosy raises...
They're raising to stay out of Florida
Well, I love Florida myself
But, I mean, I'll still go there and everything
But, you know, I guess maybe a little less Florida, more cruises
Well, actually right now I wouldn't want to go to Florida anyhow
Did you know that the Gulf of Mexico temperature is 101?
That is the temperature we keep our hot tub here at home
Yes, it is
Well, you know, because you need to take care of them
Yeah, hot tub, the highest you're supposed to run them is 104
So, 101 is about 100-100
Someone with high blood pressure
104 could kill someone with high blood pressure, could make them go into a strike
Right, right, right
Yeah, if it's a public hot tub, you should probably keep it at 100 actually, not 101 either
Yeah, and only 10-15 minutes at a time
Yes, that's another thing too, is people sit in there and they get to feeling good
And they have a couple of pops
I'm one of them, I'm one of them
Yeah, you have a couple of pops and you're like, man, I'm not moving
Eh, it could really get to you after a while, that hot of the temperature
But 101 is the Gulf, in Florida, the Gulf of Mexico's temperature is 101
And the reason is, is the currents are not circulating like they're supposed to
Something's going on, and they don't know what it is
There's been all different theories, it's killing the whole eco barrier in the reefs
It's very, very concerning for everything
They're thinking the warm water are going to make super hurricanes
They're just going to tear everything up on the coasts
Let's see, not only that, but the coral reefs, if they die, the whole ecosystem in the sea, in the ocean can die
And we're fucked if that happens
There are theories from this physicist, I've read all up on this
And I chose not to report on it, but here we go anyhow, because it's kind of glum
And they don't really have any answers, and they don't really have any reasons specifically why
But one physicist said that when SpaceX went into orbit, it punched a hole in the atmosphere
And that's how come all this freaky shit is happening, the weather and the ocean not circulating
Then other people are saying it's a product of pollution
And other people are saying that it's like an earth cycle
They don't know, but they need the ocean to start circulating again
Because this one-on-one thing is killing fish species, it's killing coral reefs, it's killing everything
And it's extremely concerning because this could be extinction of man as we know it
Yeah
So anyhow, you got a fart joke you want to tell?
Uh, how about if I just go into a totally different story?
Yeah, yeah we're getting too serious, anyhow
That was a little gloomy there
Well we got into that
Leprosy rates in new cases have been increasing in the southern parts of the US since 2000
One man who contracted the disease was a landscaper, he didn't recall that he ever came in close with an armadillo who do spread them
The rise in cases in the US are very concerning, however the disease has declined everywhere else
Anyhow, go ahead with your story, sorry I wanted to finish that up
Oh no, no, I'm sorry, I thought you were done
No, I just got to looking at them like oh shit, I was right in the middle of this story
So if anyone was interested in that story, I told the whole thing, so go ahead
Okay, well back in 2019 Dollar Tree raised prices to $1.25 at select stores until fully implementing the increase last year to 2,500 stores and four distribution centers
I remember them doing that
I do too, it was kind of a big deal
Yeah
People were flipped out
Yeah it was, like what are you going to do, change your name now?
Well I changed my name, however Dollar Tree will now have about 300 to 400 products returned to its original dollar price structure
Chief Merchandising Officer Rick McNeely said in a recent conference
The point comes as other retailers have consistently dropped prices to stay competitive
Well, okay, I think that's a brilliant idea and the reason is because this right here, all these other dollar stores, have you been to Dollar General lately?
Oh I was there just today
Okay, I don't generally go there, but I know enough people that do and the reason is, is this right here, I've got all these other stores near me, I don't have to
But if I lived out that way, I would probably be attending Dollar General too
But everyone says that since they've been building all these new stores, I call them the Redneck Starbucks because they're all over the country, peppered everywhere now
But they're saying they're raising the prices on everything
They are, they really are, they're matching Walmart
Okay, well I think that because of stuff like that, that a dollar store that actually lowers their prices would probably go over very well
Because I know a lot of people that are upset with Dollar General because number one, they're peppering the countryside with them
And number two, they're raising their prices so high on certain things
Right, I have one at 2-minute walks from me
No, no, no, like I said, I'm not dogging them, I'm not like snotting them, I'm not going there because I'm snotting about it because I would shop there
But I have virtually every other store known to man within a couple of miles from me, you know, so there's no reason for me to go there
You know, I have Walmarts and Costcos and Sam's Clubs and everything else right next to me, so I mean Dollar General is like way down the line and is further away from me anyhow
So there's not too many of them in the city
Right
So anyhow, so yeah, I think that's a great idea that they do that
And anyhow, good for them?
Yeah, I've got an unknown fact for you too
Okay, go ahead
Halloween Day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death
Celts believed that on the night before the New Year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31st, they celebrated Samhain, I hope I pronounced that right, when it was believed that the ghost of the dead returned to Earth
Okay
I thought that was pretty interesting
Very cool
It's just a legend, you know
Oh no, it's a fact
Anyway
Okay
Just got my ran across
Very cool
You got anything?
Yeah, let's see here, I've got, let me see, I'm trying to look for a certain story that I was looking at
Okay
Okay, Millennials are like really kind of like really skeptical of marriage and they're kind of like not really doing it as much so
With a shift in personal goals, values and roles that differ greatly from previous generations, more and more Millennials, those born from 1981 to 1996 are tapping the brakes on marriage, led by their desire to focus on their careers, personal needs and goals, forming a substantial financial foundation upon which they create a family and even questioning the meaning of marriage itself
So, and I know Millennials and this is how they feel, this is true, most of them from what I talk to
According to a study from the Pew Research Center that compares Millennials to the silent generation, Millennials are three times as likely to never have married as their grandparents were
The reasons why Millennials have post-pomarriage include 29% feel like they aren't financially ready, 26% haven't found someone with the right qualities, 26% feel they are too young to settle down
Compared to previous generations, Millennials are marrying if they do choose to marriage at all at a much older age. In 1965 the average marriage age for women was 21 years and for men it was 23. Today the average age for marriage is 29.2 years for men and for women it's 30, oh no, yeah 29.2 for women and 30.9 for men, that's quite a bit different
As reported by the NOT 2017 Real Wedding Study, a recent Urban Institute report even predicts that a significant number of Millennials will remain unmarried past the age of 40
These statistics indicate an important cultural shift for the first time in history. People are experiencing marriage as an option instead of a necessity, said Brooke Jinn, a married Millennial and a relationship coach. It's a fascinating happening and an incredible opportunity for marriage to be redefined and approached with much more reverence and mindfulness than ever before
So Millennials are waiting and planning to be more strategic in other aspects of their life, like their career and their financial future, while also pursuing their personal values like politics, education and religion
So in other words, they shifted back like four generations before, the silent generation that waited later to be married. And this is like something that happens between generations
Like the generation under any generation goes the complete opposite of the generation before them, because they look back and what they consider mistakes they don't do. And then a couple of generations later, they see the mistakes of the generation before them and the generation before them and they have a shift that goes back 30, 40 years back
And that's what's going on with the Millennials back now, is they're looking back to the silent generation and shifting back to that. And they don't even know it, probably. It's just the way they feel because of the last couple of generations before them
They look back and they see all this divorcing and people marrying too early and they get their goals shot down, they don't get done what they want to, ends in divorce. So they see all this and they're like, we're not going to do that because we see what those guys did and we're not going to screw up our lives like them
So, anyhow, I found it very interesting. There's a lot more to this article, but I think I got the gist of what I'm saying there. And I'm glad I found that specific article because it's kind of hard to find. It was buried in a bunch of other stuff
So, anyhow, let's see
Something about the Packers screwing with Aaron Rodgers that I'm looking up here
And let's see if I can find that
I'll give you a minute, I've got another one ready
Oh, okay, go ahead
An 87 year old main woman ably fought off a teenage attacker and fed him because he said he was awfully hungry
Marjorie Perkins said she awoke at 2 a.m. on July 26 and saw the young man standing over her bed
He had shed his shirt and pants and told her he was going to cut her
I thought to myself, if he's going to cut, I'm going to kick
So I jumped into my shoes
She put on her shoes and fought back, putting a chair between them as the two jostled in her Brunswick home
I was hollering for help out the window, she told the Times Record
Thank God I had the chair between us, it would have been worse
Then the intruder struck her on the cheek and forehead before switching tactics and heading for the kitchen
He told Perkins that he was awfully hungry, she said
So she gave him a box of peanut butter and honey crackers, two protein drinks, and two tangerines
Perkins dialed 911 on her rotary phone
She was talking to the dispatcher while the intruder collected his pants and left
He left behind a nice shirt, shoes, and a water bottle containing alcohol, he said
Wow, oh my
When they evidently got DNA, I'm pretty sure they got him
What a great story
How smart is that stupid ass
Go grandma, go grandma
Packers fans will keep a close eye on the New York Jets this season
Of course there is an interest in how Rodgers and several other former Packers will perform
Also one of the Packers 2024 draft picks is tied to the Jets performance this season
If Rodgers plays 65% of the snaps, New York will send its first rounder to Green Bay
Anything lower than that is a second rounder
In any case, the more games the Jets lose, the higher the pick becomes
Murphy is fully aware of the general manager of the Packers
He won't be wishing Rodgers a successful first season in the Big Apple
65%, honestly I hope everything goes well
I want to play 65% but it would be really good if the Jets had a baggier
Because we have a very high pick Murphy said in an interview with 97.3 The Game
I think that's probably a Green Bay outlet
It's the president and CEO Mark Murphy
Not the, I think I said general manager didn't I
Anyhow, so again how much can you not love him he has asked
Many executives would have given a boring answer, wished Rodgers well
And not made a comment on the potential draft pick the team could receive
Murphy isn't bothered by any of that, he wants the Packers to get a higher draft pick
Well he wishes Rodgers well but his top priority is the success of the Packers
The season that means rooting against the Jets and he's not wrong
And you know what, I get it
I mean why would you wish him, I mean not just in the way he left and everything
I know there's two sides to every story
And I know that he probably had legitimate reasons to feel the way that he did
But I'd be the same way too, I'd go I want you to do well but not too well
Yeah, the game must go on, you gotta keep doing what you're doing
Just because somebody else leaves
Nope, can't go by that if you did then you'd never get anywhere in life
Anyhow, let's see what else we got here
You feel like going on a little while longer or you think maybe we're going to shut this bitch down for tonight
Well that's up to you
Okay I got a unique little story and then after this we'll go into the final thoughts
Alright
Okay let me see here, there's one, two, three, four of these, bear with me please
Rob's going to sing to you the national anthem while I go through this
I don't even remember if I remember all the words
Okay Rob is not going to sing you the national anthem while I go through this
Okay, this is a guy that returned back to his hometown with land that he owned
Returned to find someone built a house on it
So yeah, on May 31st this year Kingsburg received a call with bad news from a childhood friend still in Fairfield, Connecticut
His closest pal growing up was on hospice in town
And by the way, his friend mentioned they're building a house on the lot next to his old home
They're doing what I said? I own that and I never sold it, Kingsburg recounted this week
I was shocked
Dr. Daniel Kingsburg grew up in a house his parents bought on the semi-circular street in 1953
Where he was one year old after medical school in New York and residency in Maryland
He and his wife raised two children on Long Island across the Sound from Fairfield
Kingsburg never lost his fondness for that town
I've been to Fairfield, Connecticut, it is a nice town, I enjoyed it a lot, it's right on the ocean
For decades he held it, they have nice beaches, it's beautiful, it's all well kept
He held onto a vacant parcel just under a half acre next door to his childhood home
His father bought that land also in 1953
Directly from Leaser Palmley Jr., the family that settled that area in 1716
He hoped to pass it on to future generations of the Kingsburgs
Certainly if my children wanted to live in Fairfield, Connecticut, I'd be very happy about that
Kingsburg told this week from Long Island
He took the ferry across the Sound on the same way Wednesday
After to see his dying friend, after Kingsburg stopped to Skytop Terrace
Where the family home and the corner of Skytop Drive has long been since sold
But the parcel next door remained in his possession
So he thought over the decades he had watched it more from a scrubby plot to a thickly wooded mini forest
Now he stood eye to eye with a clear dirt building lot
Contained in a four bedroom house, nearly completed, but with no siding yet on his parcel at 51 Skytop Terrace
It had popped up without his knowledge
After a land transaction that appears to be an elaborate scam
According to a lawsuit Kingsburg filed this month at the U.S. District Court in Connecticut
Town records point to the way toward the story on October 18, 2022
Daniel Kingsburg of Johannesburg, South Africa granted the power of attorney
The right to sign legal documents on his behalf to Anthony Minnelli, a Trumbull lawyer
That same day nine months ago a firm known as 51 Skytop Partners LLC
Purchased a lot from Kingsburg or so the land records show for $350,000
On January 24th of this year a local construction firm affiliated with 51 Skytop Partners
Held a building permit in hand
The development was off to the races and a real estate nightmare
Exactly what used to be designed to prevent was about to unfold
The lawsuit cited Connecticut trade laws names as defendant Skytop Partners
Which says it's owned by Gina Leto and Greg Burgad and Minnelli
It claims Kingsburg is suffering irreparable damage and that he never authorizes sale of property to anyone
And anyhow the laws are, I could go into a lot more here
But I'm not going to because it's kind of boring. There's like five more pages to that
So anyhow the law doesn't insist for more proof that the basically in a nutshell
It doesn't ask for more proof where other places do ask for more proof that of
Power of attorneys and ownership belonging to someone
So anyhow Kingsburg was suing Fairfield Connecticut and the people that done that
That did it and he's suing them for the lot being tore up and this house being on there and everything
So hopefully he'll get to, he'll win, get to keep the house that was built illegally and everything
And he can go on from there
And I agree with me, you know he said it's like a little mini forest and everything
And he was wanting that land just like it is so one of his family could build on it later on if they wanted
So good luck to him
So anyhow you got a final thought Rob and I have a final thought
Alright, yeah my therapist told me write letters to the people you hate and then burn them
Okay, I did that, I did that but now I don't know what to do with the letters
I like it
So if you come up with some ideas let me know man I gotta get rid of these things
Yeah well I will
My final thought, a female firefly will fake its own death to avoid mating with an undesired male
Be glad you're not a firefly
Yeah
Have a great night everybody, we'll talk soon
Thank you Rob
Good night
Hi there, this is Fucknut from Two Fucknuts and a Recorder podcast
Two Douchebags and a Microphone are our favorite podcast ever
Please go to your friend's computer and download it from there
Go to your church's computer and download it from there
Go to people you don't know and grab their phones and download it on there
These fuckers need all the help we can get
No batlight here, these idiots just show up and hope for the best
Please remember to go to Cole's dressing room, wait five minutes and scream
Hey there's no toilet paper in here
Oh shit, what's that over there?
Oh no, this is island of horrible jokes
A headache stricken man explained to his doctor, you have to help me, I'm shrinking
The doctor said I will, you have to be a little patient
I mean you know while we're talking about stinky stuff and all this
About ten years ago they decided they were going to come up with some different douche flavors
Oh
Yeah, but they didn't go over very well
Wait a minute, who's tasting it?
Well I don't know if it's a taste or a smell
Yeah, well on the other hand if a person would use the douche prior to oral sex maybe that would be
Maybe that's what they're wanting to
So what kind of flavor goes well with the vagina?
We obtained, we exclusively are crack staff here at
Crack staff, I love it
Yeah, here at two douche bags and a microphone
We obtained a couple of copies
We should know things about douches
Yeah we should
We gotta be experts
Here's a spoiler, we're not experts about anything
No, yeah, is that actually a spoiler or you think they're just scratching their head going yeah
If they need
Yeah we realized this
Yeah if they needed to be told that we're not experts and that we will lie to you if it entertains us
Well you're probably missing the point of the whole podcast if we have to be told that part
If you believe a fucking thing comes out of our mouth I question you as a person
Yes
If you believe nothing else believe it when we say look it up for yourself, find out for yourself, make up your own mind
Quit relying on what other people told you
Speaking of that, next week probably or the week after we have this special guest that just by chance he runs into us every now and then
We prefer to call him Deep Sky
Yes
But he calls himself Brandon
That was the name he was using at the time, we know it's not actually really Brandon
This guy is an expert on the Deep State and the big cover up going on everywhere
Now listen, I mean I think that a lot of what this guy says there's a lot of truth in it, I don't believe all of it
I think it's like anything people take part of the truth and then they expand it into whatever
And the more you look the more you can find information that will justify just about anything you choose to believe
Yeah, the whole thing is this guy is uber intelligent
Very, very
He
Very organized
Very organized and he is a walking encyclopedia of this stuff
He believes it with all his heart and we're hoping to find him again here soon, we haven't seen him in a few weeks
And he kind of got freaked out because he wanted to take a picture of him there with us
And he wasn't having that so I have no idea what Brandon's into or anything
As a matter of fact he didn't even want to listen to the podcast
Yeah
So anyhow
Very grateful he agreed to talk to us for quite a long time
Yeah so hopefully we will see him again but if not we probably have about five hours of this guy
And he jumped in one day when we were talking about Jim Morrison and rock stars
Yeah that's right, that's right
And anyhow he came in and was talking to us about Jim Morrison the day he died
His dad signed the Magna Carta, was that it?
No he was saying that Jim Morrison's dad was in military intelligence
Yeah
And was directly connected to the Gulf of Tonkin incident which justified the Vietnam War
That was it, that was it, okay
The way it was conducted
And then he was saying more, I'm not going to do any more spoilers beyond that
Also numerology, the big satanic cult, all this stuff
And listen like I said I don't believe everything that he says but whenever he speaks I find it extremely interesting
Yeah
Extremely entertaining and thought provoking
He makes your brain do that little dance every time he talks
Yeah as long as you're open to possibilities and new ideas and listen with that attitude
He's got so much interesting things, so many interesting things to say
And even if you don't necessarily agree with all the conclusions there's a lot of interesting information along the way that is both verifiable
And a lot of it is factual, what he's speaking of is factual
Yeah verifiable and had a great impact on a lot of things
He's actually the guy that uncovered the deuce flavors for us
Oh, excellent work
Yeah, he went to Massengill and he did a big espoise and anyhow, I mean the first one that went over horribly was Bloody Mary
Oh, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
They just did not like the name
They thought Bloody Mary was just a very bad fit for addiction
I can just see the ad picture though where would they put the stalk of celery?
That might've been one of the problems
Yeah, that could be it. It's like you could write a beautiful song that's called suck my ass
Then you know people aren't gonna want to listen to it. I would but mr. D. Will you please?
What's your favorite song suck my ass
Sorry, damn. It's just like I remember the back of circus magazine. I think it was Keith Richards
No, it wasn't Keith Richards. Who was it?
so
Shit, I think it was like Nick Bocot. Remember that old metal band Grim Reaper. Mm-hmm. They just talking to him
They go. Hey, what's your favorite ballad? He goes highway to hell
Good comeback
Okay, so serious
So Bloody Mary is a no-go
And then after that they tried to take advantage of the health price
Yeah, so anyhow back healthy. Hey Kale was a big guy
Oh
Well didn't go over so well. No, I mean they took it down and they took it down to
you know the corner market deals and
You know if you were actually getting like sprouts said no
Food said no if you were getting some actual kale with it, that'd be one thing
But it's just the kale flavor without flavoring without the nutrition. Yeah, that's that's not that
Yeah, it's just like a meme going around how to serve kale and it shows them throwing it in the garbage. Yes
Nobody really likes kale and they say they do they just want you to let's face it. It's a douchebag status
Yeah, so would you have for a lunch? Oh, I had a kale sandwich with
I put my hand up and walk away
I do the talk to the hand and then I leave I don't even say another word. I hear the word kale. It's like no I smell
water and vinegar a
Kale salad was what a douche would be right? Yes
Well anyhow kale was a no-go so well that you know the mass of girls like shit
They want to go the complete opposite. Let's do some unhealthy food. So they came up with cotton candy
Well, oh my gosh
I would think that you'd want her to have a Brazilian otherwise
You start and get a little association in your mind Oh babble snatch
Babble snatch would have been a great flavor. Yeah
That was a very popular. Oh god. Yeah, very
Once you have babble snatch, you don't like any other gum. Yeah, you didn't want to babble in any other snatch again
No, no, that was it especially Paul at 7-eleven me and him
He sends me Christmas cards everything
anyhow
but cotton candy went over horribly and went over like a
Flaming pile of shit. Yeah, I get probably should
They didn't do flaming pile of shit flavor that that would actually probably have a market now that you think about it
Well, you know and then Madsen Gill, you know the crack staff down there was scratching their heads
Oh, you know what? Then maybe maybe we need to you know, kind of get on maybe the Latin tip
You know a lot of Latinos and Latinos in America broaden your your market base
Yeah, and other markets we're gonna do real spicy. We're gonna get a little warm here
And you know, so they came up with wasabi. Oh
Yeah
Yeah, I guess wasabi didn't go so well, huh?
Oh, you know, they were like, you know, man, you know, they're like, you know, it's hot
Has some flavor
You know, I mean there's a couple fold on that not only the the person that were that's you know
Hanging around the brush so to speak, you know, but also
the person that
Was using the wasabi probably didn't care for me. I imagine a lot of perspiring going on
I know. Yeah, I met a man years ago who thought that Vicks vapor rub was an excellent sexual lubricant
Yikes. Oh, I've got my alberto on my alberto vo5 story, but I will save that for another podcast
Okay, let's just say it's not a good lubricant. Mm-hmm. Okay, let's just leave it right there
Alright, and besides that someone listen this podcast might know what I'm talking about
No, so it listen. This is your this is your 30-day warning
If you don't want this broadcast
Send me a message
When we mean that in the friendliest most non-threatening way possible absolutely so that would be my cue to say it with names
So so wasabi fell on its face, yeah, yeah
Well, then they're like, you know the crack staff down there scratching their heads again
What can we do to get across that? You know that our douches are just you know
We're the new kinder gentler douches. We asked 100 people. What flavor do you want to sit on your face?
Well, the next one was hot damn
Was that cinnamon whiskey, yes
So
So, you know, they're like, you know, I'm hot damn
How can you go wrong with that man, you know freshens your breath and smash you know, you get smashed to me
Yeah, yeah, it's a great concept to think about you know, the alcohol content would probably help cut down on some UTI
Hey Willie, what are you doing drinking?
Hot damn I'm doing shots out of
Well, I'm using caner is really unique I'm using this nice fur teacup
This is the coolest shot glass I've ever had in my life
I think that was in an Alice Cooper song for that was feed my Frankenstein feed my Frankenstein. Yeah. Yeah, he referred to my
Ah Frankenstein he referred to licking an ice cream cone and drinking from a fur teacup a fur teacup over that
Good old Alice
Well, you know Massingale they're called what the fuck can we do?
So, you know, they kind of decided to maybe like go to the fridge
Maybe hit the country folk maybe hit the rednecks and then and the hicks up and stuff like that
So, you know naturally went to a skull dip
For when you're going down on the fire. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, I've got a chaw full of you know, a mouthful of chaw, you know
So that would tend to be like a big menthol flavor. Yeah. Yeah
I mean, I guess you could go Copenhagen straight tobacco flavor. Yeah, you'd start sneezing probably down
Yeah, that would be a good idea. Yeah
Oh, yeah, man. Wow. Yeah, no whistling through the wheat field
And then you know out of habit you probably you know have to every now and then turn your head and spit
And that doesn't go over well, no, it's like why are you doing that? Did you get a hair or something? What's wrong? Oh
Sorry, it's just the flavor. I'm
Yeah, I know that's what I do whenever I get around menthol. Sorry
So yeah, I can see that not going well. Yeah, they didn't go so well
so, you know, they're like, you know, well, we're gonna try to appeal to the
Younger crowd but not too young
Yeah, kind of you know, maybe the 20 early 20 something maybe 18 year old, you know, yeah
Yeah for the sake of staying legal 18 maybe 18 to 25 or something like that, you know that demo
So they went lucky charms. Oh
What if you could get the version the version with just marshmallows did you say virgin?
I guess virgins could use it. You know, that's okay. So there's nothing the march
Get just the marshmallows. They weren't selling them for a while just the marshmallows
You get the st. Patrick's day version with extra green clovers
Oh, these are tragically suspicious or no, no, no, they're magically delicious. Oh you start clicking your heels
Oh, these lucky charms they hit me spot. Mmm, and then you'll hear her say oh you found the pot of gold
If you're lucky
Lucky charms Wow, you know that actually could probably work, you know, cuz people like sweet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then you get to drink the milk water after
Oh, okay now I can see how that didn't work
There's no cereal milk after this well, you know massive gals are there just scratching their heads point
We don't know what to do getting the wrong focus groups apparently. Yeah, they got another group in and they decide, you know crab. Oh
Crab with a K. Yeah nice. Yeah, there's three crab flavored juices
Well, you know seafood fish
You know, it just didn't have a good ring, you know, yeah considering the subject matter
They just really you know crab just didn't really yeah. Yeah kind of fell on its face. So to speak
Yeah, that's like putting you know gold leaf on a chrome bumper. It's already
It's already all that it can be along those. Yes. They're like, you know, okay. Okay, maybe not the crab
That's a little overpowering. How about a boiled shrimp?
Especially around Fat Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah with that spice and everything
Yeah, you could you could have you know, it too. Faye and you could have gumbo and yeah
I'm a liar version you go any way with it at all. Yeah. Yeah. I mean who doesn't like a good New Orleans celebration
Yeah, yeah
well
Evidently that didn't do too well either people weren't real crazy about the boiled shrimp and it didn't really go
No, it's late didn't go for the Creole crotch. No, no Creole crotch. No boiled shrimp
No, Bon ton roulette. No that nothing gone
Nope
No, just get the fuck out of here you and your fucking boiled shrimp here. Take your packet. Take your spice packet with you
See this include the spice packet with the douche
That could that could be a game-changer. Yeah, cuz then you could always if it didn't work out
You could always just go boil some shrimp. Yeah
Yeah
So anyhow, so then you know the crackstaff and massingales, you know, let's try maybe a snack or something
So they went with extra sharp cheddar cheese it
extra sharp cheddar cheese it
Not even the real cheese just the cheese it yeah, yeah just the cheese it's there's a little square pieces of shit
That way you can get the marketing tie-in and you know cheese it will help, you know pay the cost of the advertising
With the crunch also, so you know you're eating some cheese it you like
This reminds me of something
What are you doing?
Like what are you doing? I know else maybe right there's some change it right in the middle you
You think damn after this is over. I feel like has some cheese it's
Well needless to say extra sharp cheddar
Cheese, it's didn't go that well. So anyhow, they were they're forced to maybe go with some other direction
And anyhow, so that can't wait in the final one that we've uncovered or Brandon uncovered for us
sushi
Well for obvious reasons
Sushi did not do that. Well as a douche flavor. Yeah, it was quickly scrapped in favor of just traditional
But you know sushi would go well with the wasabi flavor as well
So if you get the two flavors together and mix them
Oh a little wasabi sushi douche. Yeah
Say let's see wasabi sushi douche. I like that. Yeah, it kind of rolls off the tongue
Keep them well away from Lucky Charms and cotton candy. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised they didn't go for any like comfort food
Like, you know mashed potatoes and gravy
Yeah, maybe the or tenderloin a tenderloin tenderloin flavored douche
You know and then or you know that would go with the mashed potatoes and gravy. Yeah
corn dog
Corn dog. Yeah hit everybody at the fair with that. Yeah
how about
And you know people like no deep-fried Snickers flavored douche
I think that is I think that that would probably sell really well in a certain demographic
You know, it's one who like a home and she had these different flavored douches
I mean that one would went out clearly. Yeah. Yeah. You'd have like a it's like dessert no kale
The peanut butter flavor one is sounds okay
But I kind of need some jelly or something to go with it
The kale one is the one you have to use on like during the lint or something. Yeah. Yeah
So I guess I gave up
Stuff with like virtually no taste. Yeah, I gave up the really tasty douches for for land
For the reason shows God I'm serious
You know God looks down and goes okay
You're going to heaven
That's a lot of dedication eating that bullshit
That scam yeah
See that's that's that's how I know God doesn't want us to eat kale because God doesn't want us to suffer
That's true. God loves us. He doesn't want us to eat kale. I'm pretty sure similar says kale is bullshit. Yeah
Yeah, okay, maybe it doesn't but any
Let's start the rumor as of right now kale is bullshit kale is bullshit
And if you like kale you are an insufferable prick
Remember that that plastic parsley they used to serve on your restaurant plate that stuff takes better
So that actually is what kale is they just they just got better at you know printing out the plastic
It's like today's artificial turf. You can't tell from grass
Well kale is that artificial parsley? Yep
It doesn't actually grow out of the soil so much of his is you know 3d printed out of plastic Mark Zuckerberg likes came
Mark Zuckerberg is came and he's he is coconut oil infused kale
He is wow that makes me want to hurl this right now
