00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Live from the historic river market in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, from the crystal blue waters of the Missouri River, it's two douchebags and a microphone podcast.

2
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Somewhere in the heavens your great Grammy Gertrude is crying because her little Bebo is listening to this film.

3
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.

4
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
May your five year old neighbor have all their violin lessons during all of your hangovers.

5
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Hmph. I may never know.

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
If you enjoy two douchebags and a microphone, you'll definitely enjoy a shovel to the head.

9

Hello, this is Two Douchebags and Microphone. I'm Mark.

15
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And I'm Rob.

16
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So, Rob, how you doing, man? It's almost Christmas. Tomorrow's Christmas Eve. And then, of course, Christmas. We'll follow it Monday.

17
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
This Saturday night. You got any big plans?

18
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Tomorrow afternoon, we're going up to my brother's and have a dinner up there.

19
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And then Christmas Day, my daughter and grandson coming over.

20
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And then we're going to have dinner here. So that's been a busy couple of... actually been a busy week for being on vacation.

21
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go back to work already. I've still got another week and a half.

22
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
You're not the only person I've heard say that, that's had a little vacation.

23
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I've heard a few people go, I'm going to go back to work. I do less.

24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And you work your ass off, of course, too. But no, I feel the same way sometimes, too.

25
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So, yeah, it's just never ending, you know, always got something you got to do. So, yeah.

26
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the good thing is I'm catching up on some stuff around the house here.

27
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
That is good.

28
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Good. How's the Duck Blind Studio going? I see you got the new Yinling... I forgot what it was.

29
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Yeah, it's a Yinling pail.

30
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
A metal pail.

31
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Very cool.

32
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So, yep, I got...

33
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Yeah, it's getting there.

34
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Cool, I got some...

35
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
I'm hoping to have everything put together next week.

36
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Oh, cool. That's good.

37
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Well, I'm getting things together. I got to come up with another guitar stand to house my Flyin' V that I got, what, about a month ago or whatever.

38
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Because the stand that I have is not for a Flyin' V and I forgot that they take different stands because of the shape of the guitar.

39
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So I tried to put it on the stand to make it look all cool in the corner. I'm like, oh, shit, it's not going to work.

40
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
So anyhow, I'll figure that out. I'll get another stand and it'll look really cool in the corner.

41
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And I've been getting things shifted around here and trying to make the Talkas cheap studio look a little bit cooler and anyhow, still working on that.

42
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
And going to work and all that good shit.

43
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
So anyhow, I was reading how popular podcasts have become, right?

44
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And ours has been doing extremely well. Our listenership is way up and it was already wasn't bad.

45
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So we're very happy about that. Thank you everybody.

46
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
We hope we can continue to make you happy and make you want to listen and tell your friends.

47
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
So anyhow, this is what I've got from Podcast Popularity Report.

48
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:54,000
And this has been published online in several different online mags or something or pages, if you will, about broadcasting in general, online broadcasting.

49
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:04,000
So, so, OK, back in 2006, only 20, 22 percent of adult population in the U.S. were aware of podcasting.

50
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
By 2022, this figure has rose to 79 percent.

51
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
So 2006, 22 percent knew only knew about podcasting.

52
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
The rest of the people did not.

53
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Then as of last year, 79 percent knows about podcasting.

54
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:35,000
That's a significant number, especially with people that are older that aren't necessarily into any type of online listening or anything.

55
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Right. So that's a pretty amazing statistic, if you think about it.

56
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
And it isn't really that long of a time to make that big of a jump.

57
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
So podcasting.

58
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
No, it's it's really become like I always said yesterday's technology today.

59
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
This stuff has been around forever, but it's just now they found a true worth for it.

60
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
It's really cool. Podcasting is an increasingly popular pastime in the U.S.

61
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,000
with over 82 million people listening to podcasts in the year of 2022.

62
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Twenty two eighty two million. That's a pretty damn good.

63
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
That's a pretty good number. Yeah, that is the covid pandemic was a real shot in the arm for podcasts.

64
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:32,000
No pun intended. Many people grounded during the pandemic cited podcasting as a faithful companion with most still on board with their favorite shows.

65
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:42,000
So the people that podcasting has gained during the covid where everybody was locked up and they had nothing to do but listen to podcasts, because I was one of them.

66
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
You know, I went to work and then you really couldn't go anywhere after work or anything.

67
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Nothing was open. So, you know, went home and listened to podcasts or did, you know, other tasks.

68
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
But, you know, you got tired of doing tasks and you just wanted to relax.

69
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And a lot of the podcasts that I started cracking into then I still listen to.

70
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:16,000
So, OK, so with all the vehicles Bluetooth ready and many car companies letting go with traditional radio podcasting and Internet streams seem to be the future.

71
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:25,000
And the reason I say that is because the latest hubbub was the newer cars aren't putting in AM radio.

72
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Do you know that, Rob?

73
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Yeah, a lot of cars are just scrubbing AM radio completely.

74
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
They're like, we don't want it. We feel that nobody wants AM radio anymore.

75
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
So it's not even available in a lot of cars.

76
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,000
So if you have an AM radio station you like to listen to, I like to listen to some local sports stations and most of them are on AM in Kansas City.

77
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
So my Jeep does have an AM feature, but if it didn't, I would have to go to the Internet to pick up the streams.

78
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Advertisers love the retrievable data as well as a target audience is easily proven without having to buy extremely expensive monthly report cards.

79
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:22,000
So anyhow, OK, like the Arbitron or Nielsen ratings is what they are now.

80
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:31,000
You have to subscribe and pay a lot of money just to prove that these are your ratings.

81
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
And a lot of smaller stations don't because it costs so much to subscribe to the service that they just don't even do it.

82
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:48,000
And they get around it. You know, they're like, you know what, hey, we have really good listenership and we'll introduce you to our advertising at the slow rate.

83
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
And if it doesn't work, then you know what, you can just get out. No contract or whatever.

84
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
A lot of people just aren't messing with Nielsen ratings because they're so expensive.

85
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
It's my understanding. That's what I understand is going on.

86
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So, you know, if you have a podcast, this all the status easily retrievable.

87
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
For example, RSS let us know about your relative in Fort Scott. Remember downloading the show?

88
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:23,000
And sure enough, as soon as you said that, we went to RSS.com and we could see the little dot where your relative downloaded our show.

89
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
So that's easy and it's free and you can prove this to people.

90
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Go, yeah, you know what, we have this many listeners and here is our sheet. This is our data. You're welcome to look at it.

91
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So this is how many people we reach. This is all the parts of the country we reach. These are our hotbeds. These are our cold beds.

92
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
And then it's easier to sell advertising.

93
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000
There are more than 4.25 million podcasts worldwide.

94
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:04,000
The country where podcasting is most popular is South Korea at 53% of the population downloading podcasts.

95
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
That's over half. Yeah. It's going to get like that here too, Rob, I do believe.

96
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Oh yeah, I do too.

97
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Spain is the next one at 39%. Ireland is right after them, 37%. Sweden, 35%. US, 35%. So we're already up to 35%.

98
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Italy, 30%. Canada at 29%. So that's pretty interesting, isn't it, Rob?

99
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah, yeah.

100
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Yeah, yeah. I really enjoyed doing this report because there's more stuff that I didn't put on here that I learned about podcasting and how people advertise and how they get people to get a glimpse of the show and stuff.

101
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Really interesting and it's more that you and I can talk about and some stuff that we can do personally to help us out.

102
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,000
So anyhow, I just wanted to bring that to everybody's attention. I thought it was pretty cool.

103
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Yeah.

104
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Hey Rob, you got anything you want to go into?

105
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Well, yeah, first off, did you hear that Rudolph saved Christmas a while ago?

106
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
No.

107
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
For Pittsburgh Steelers.

108
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. They're a backup quarterback. Go ahead, I'm sorry.

109
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Yeah. I actually got to watch the last two quarters of that game.

110
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Yeah, it was pretty cool. They beat the hell out of the Bengals.

111
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Yeah, yeah. The Steelers beat the Bengals, 34 to 11.

112
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
They beat the hell out of old Jake Browning. Jake Browning was flying high until this game.

113
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Yeah, he was.

114
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He had three interceptions. He didn't look so comfortable and happy on the sideline, did he?

115
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
No, he didn't. No, he didn't.

116
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Yeah. I love the statistic there and sorry, Ruth, Ruthann or something like that.

117
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

118
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Sorry Ruth, but ha ha. Looks like he...

119
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
At least we can't bash Burroughs.

120
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:27,000
No, no, no. That's because he's doing what he's most consistent at, sitting on the sidelines being hurt.

121
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
And this is at...

122
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
I did not go there.

123
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I did. This is at Carson Palmer. This is at Boomer Esiason. This is at all you fucks.

124
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
They say, oh, he's better than Mahomes because of consistency.

125
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
He's consistently in the fucking injured reserve. I don't want to fucking hear it anymore.

126
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
You guys need to shut your blathering fool mouth.

127
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Idiots. Anyhow, go ahead. Sorry, Rob.

128
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
No, that's alright.

129
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Yeah, that Joe Burrough, he beats Mahomes consistently.

130
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000
You know, he's really consistent at being on the sidelines, cheering the fucking quarterback up.

131
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
That's what he is. Yeah. He's like, Joe, ow! I hurt myself, Burrough.

132
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Lil Joe, ow! I hurt myself, Burrough.

133
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Him? That guy? Yeah. Greatest ever.

134
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Oh, hi. I'm stupid. I love Joey Burrough. He's the best ever.

135
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Because I'm stupid.

136
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Oh, you're a moody guy.

137
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Yes, I am. Fuck every one of you idiots.

138
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Fuck every one of you idiots. Anyhow, go ahead.

139
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I'm having fun.

140
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Joe Burrough, Joe Burrough, the best. Oh my God, he's so good, he makes me cry.

141
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Okay. Alright, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

142
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Rudolph saved Pittsburgh's Christmas.

143
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Yes. But anyway, I'm off that one.

144
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Sorry.

145
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
I'll read it on the date Christmas. I just had to.

146
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
I took it too far, didn't I? I ruined it, didn't I?

147
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Yes, you did. I'm sorry.

148
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Alright.

149
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Alright. Alright. Charlie Sheen better watch out.

150
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Uh oh.

151
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:36,000
On Wednesday, December 20th, the actor was allegedly attacked by his 47 year old neighbor after she forced her way into his home, page six confirmed.

152
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:45,000
The woman who has not been named was arrested for allegedly choking him during a spook at his Los Angeles home.

153
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Law enforcement sources told TMZ, who reported the news first, that when Sheen opened the door to the woman, she ripped his shirt and started to grasp at his neck.

154
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Following the situation, the woman returned to her home where she was later arrested and booked for assault with a deadly weapon and burglary.

155
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Oh wow.

156
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Yeah. The incident comes after Sheen said he had turned his life around in the past few years as he's now ditched the booze for good.

157
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:29,000
I'm proud of the choices that I've made and the changes I've made to live a life today that will never look like that mess.

158
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000
That was some alien version of myself. Next month I'll be six years sober.

159
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:47,000
The start continued. I have a very consistent lifestyle now. It's all about single dad stuff and raising my 14 year old twin boys, Max and Bob.

160
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Cool. Good for you Charlie.

161
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Congratulations.

162
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Congratulations. Good.

163
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I'm glad he finally thought it.

164
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Yeah. I didn't think he was. I thought he was going to end up dead. I really did.

165
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Yeah.

166
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
So, wow. Good for you Charlie. Good job.

167
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
He's being a single dad.

168
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Yeah.

169
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Cool.

170
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Yeah.

171
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Lexington, Kentucky, the Associated Press. One family got a little something extra when they picked out their own Christmas tree this year. You know what it was?

172
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
What?

173
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
An owl.

174
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
That'd be cool.

175
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Lexington resident Michelle White told KDKY TV that it's a tradition for the family to pick out a Christmas tree every year.

176
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:46,000
This year seemed no different. They had a tree in their home for four days when they noticed a few branches and lights moving on their own.

177
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
The family went on. They have three dogs that didn't even seem to notice the bird.

178
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
The owl must have moved to a lower limb when a family member noticed the owl perched on the tree.

179
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
The owl was taken to a nature preserve and was in good health. He was freed and went to go be an owl in the trees.

180
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
But that's pretty interesting. They had dogs and everything and nobody noticed it for three days.

181
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
And then finally they're like, hey, anyone ever notice this owl here?

182
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:24,000
So anyhow, that's pretty cool. So the owl's doing okay and it is out doing owl things, whatever that is.

183
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
That is cool.

184
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Another little tidbit here. Do you know that Mark Zuckerberg is building a secret underground bunker in Kauai, Hawaii?

185
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
That would not surprise me a bit.

186
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Yep, he is. The Ass Bag's 50,000 square foot compound called Kula Ranch, K-O-O-L-U, or Kulu actually.

187
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Kula Ranch also boasts 30 bedrooms as well as pools, spas, tennis courts and conference rooms.

188
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Zuck spent about 170 million on land purchases on the island and is building a 100 million 50,000 square foot compound.

189
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:16,000
So anyhow, I don't know what that means except America's going to be a better place when his ass is gone.

190
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And coincidentally, former Facebook executive is accused of stealing 4 million.

191
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Maybe she is trying to keep up with her boss and building a compound in Kauai too, huh?

192
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Yeah.

193
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Yeah, could be. She's been like, hey, Zuck is doing that, why can't I?

194
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:49,000
So, anyhow, let's see, let's take our first break and I'm going to come back with a little Bill Belichick, Travis Kelsey talk. Sound cool?

195
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Alright, this sounds good.

196
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Okay, it's interesting. We'll be right back.

197
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Oh shit, what's that over there? Oh no, it's the island of horrible jokes.

198
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:22,000
I asked my date to meet me at the gym. She didn't show up. I guess we're not going to work out.

199
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Oh, sure.

200
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000

Hello, this is Satan. You might know me from my pet name, Inflation.

217
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
I'm here to tell you that there's no better way to relax than

218
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
listening to Two Douchebags and a Microphone by a nice warm fire at night.

219
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
I sit there and reflect on all the souls I burned that day.

220
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Enjoy.

221
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Alright, it's Two Douchebags and a Microphone. I'm Mark.

222
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,000
And I'm Ralph.

223
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:32,000
There was a rather lengthy exchange between Travis Kelsey and Bill Belichick.

224
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
It's piqued quite a bit of interest.

225
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
People were like wondering what the hell they were talking about,

226
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
because Bill Belichick actually pulled Kelsey towards him to talk to him some more.

227
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
And it was a very interesting exchange.

228
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
So since the much noted exchange after the Chief's victory in Foxport, Massachusetts,

229
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Kelsey got asked after the game, did I feel like it was the last time or anything like that?

230
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
And he said, no, because there's been speculation that he's going to retire,

231
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,000
or he's going to go to a different team, and may not be in the same conference.

232
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And Kelsey said, I was just paying my respects.

233
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,000
For the 10 years I've been playing against him, I feel he still has some game left in him,

234
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
and I don't think he's going to go too far if he goes anywhere.

235
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:32,000
But it's everybody's, not misunderstanding, it's everybody's understanding that Bill Belichick is leaving.

236
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Yes, that's everything I've been reading.

237
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots are going to go in a different direction,

238
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
and that's just what happens sometimes, you know. Belichick's been there a long time.

239
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
And he's been there for a very long time.

240
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Yes, and he's won a lot of games there.

241
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
And it's just simply, it's time for him to move on, and I don't think he, you know,

242
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Travis Kelsey talked to him for a little bit, and what Travis Kelsey was basically saying is,

243
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
no, I don't think he's retired, and I think he still has game left in him,

244
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000
but he was just saying, hey man, it was good playing against you, respect you, and all that stuff.

245
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
He was being a good human being, he was being a decent human being,

246
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
but people were like, all different kinds of speculations.

247
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
It's like, what could they have talked about for that long?

248
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
But Travis Kelsey just basically said, hey man, it was good playing against you if I don't see you,

249
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
you know, hey, you know, take care, you know, respect you, stuff like that.

250
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And in return, Bill Belichick threw his respects to Travis Kelsey.

251
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,000
So, yeah, so that was all that was, although people love to try to take something like that

252
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
and then balloon it into something it isn't, and you know, and all that stuff.

253
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:51,000
So, anyhow, I got a question for you, Rob.

254
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Okay, well first off, let me start off like this.

255
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
The other day, our Domino's opened back up down the road.

256
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
I guess they just closed down temporarily to kind of get their shit together,

257
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
because they were really not doing good for the last couple of months.

258
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
That's what you were saying.

259
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Yeah, the product was horrible, and you couldn't get online to order anything.

260
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Well, they got all that figured out. It's back open.

261
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
It seems to be somewhat remodeled, and they seem to have decent help there,

262
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
and you can get a decent pizza there in a fairly decent amount of time.

263
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
So, anyhow, I was just remembering something there, though.

264
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Do you remember, okay, you did part of your growing up in Harrison Mill, your grandparents, right?

265
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Yeah, yeah.

266
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Okay, do you remember a little independent pizza store on commercial?

267
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
It was over there near the Daylight Donuts.

268
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Yeah!

269
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Yeah, it was there for many years.

270
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Can you remember the name?

271
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
I can't remember the name either, but I'm going to go into the story about it.

272
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
It's no longer there, but I cannot remember the name of it for nothing like you.

273
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
It was just a little bitty place, a little hole in the wall.

274
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
They served great pizza, and we never did have it.

275
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Well, we did have it delivered later when we found out something,

276
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000
but before you used to go in there, and they'd have like four chairs there that you could sit down.

277
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
They had a Pac-Man machine there for a while, then they had a pinball machine.

278
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000
You went to that little pretty much hole in the wall and said,

279
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
hey, I'm here, you know, pizza for Mark.

280
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Oh, yeah, yeah, here you go, extra pepperoni, whatever.

281
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000
So, okay, I knew you'd remember it, but you don't remember the name, neither do I.

282
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
No, no, no.

283
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Okay, so, anyhow, I'll go into my story.

284
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:51,000
So, there was this little independent pizza place on Commercial Street in Harrisonville for years in the 80s.

285
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
And Rob remembers it like I, but we can't remember the name.

286
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
So, this evil trick started when I decided to call in two pizzas to a friend that had no clue,

287
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
and I called it in cash on delivery.

288
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Because, remember, they used to do that there.

289
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:15,000
They'd be like, hey, you're going to give me credit card numbers?

290
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Because back then, they had to write them down, the credit card number,

291
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
and then they had to take that little machine and run them over there.

292
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
It took a long time.

293
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
So, and then if you just go, hey, I got cash here, they'd be like, okay.

294
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000
So, you know, I was being a dick because I knew that my friend didn't have any money, and I was screwing with him.

295
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,000
You know, and so I ordered him two pizzas, and they show up and everything,

296
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000
and then my friend calls me, and I was like, oh, fuck, how did he know I did it, you know?

297
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
And he says, dude, I just got two free pizzas because of mistaken order.

298
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
I'm like, what, really? He didn't know I did it.

299
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,000
The delivery guy said that it's company policy that if we deliver to a wrong address,

300
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
we are to leave the pizza there as a friendly gesture and to apologize for the mix-up.

301
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000
So the guy left him two pizzas, he didn't have to pay for it, and he apologized for the mix-up.

302
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000
And they quit.

303
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
So I informed my friend that I was the one that called in,

304
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
and that he could get free pizza from this new information.

305
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
So we tried not to, you know, we did it.

306
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000
We tried not to get too greedy.

307
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
We just, you know, we'd do a couple of pizzas a week, and then the word got around.

308
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Sometimes someone told someone, then someone told someone else in confidence, and then so on.

309
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,000
So the last straw was we were having a party, a local party house, when some genius decided to order five pizzas.

310
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Seemed like it worked. The delivery guy showed up. We said, no, it wasn't us.

311
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And, you know, since it was a party, they knew it was us, right?

312
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,000
You know, but the policy was you guys get the pizzas for free, and we're sorry.

313
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
We didn't mean to bother you. Here you go. Thanks a lot.

314
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
So it seemed like it worked. You know, the delivery guy showed up.

315
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
We said it wasn't us. He left the food. We all scarfed down the free pizza.

316
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000
And everything was fun and games until the following weekend,

317
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
and the stunt was abruptly stopped by the order taking demanding a credit card number,

318
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000
because there was no more cash on delivery.

319
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,000
So we had to go back to starving because the food could not, you know, cut into our alcohol budget.

320
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,000
So anyhow, yeah, we got we got free pizza for a while for that place.

321
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
And someone somewhere will remember the name of it.

322
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And when they do, we'll talk about a little bit more. But anyhow,

323
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
we do have a bunch of listeners in here.

324
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Oh, yeah, that's right. Douche B66 at Yahoo dot com.

325
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Send me the name, please. I know one of you guys remember it.

326
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I mean, shit. I mean, we got a lot of hits from Harrison, but we got a lot of listenership there.

327
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Someone will remember the name. I think it went out in the early 90s, didn't it?

328
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I'm thinking so. They got that Pizza Hut Bistro, I think is what they call it.

329
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Remember, it was a weird Pizza Hut. It was right off 71 Highway I-49 now,

330
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000
but it was right off 71 Highway. And it said Pizza Hut Bistro.

331
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Roughly about that time that place opened up, the little pizza parlor shut down.

332
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
And I think I don't know if it ran it out of business or the it had been open forever,

333
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,000
been open since the 50s, I believe.

334
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
So they could have just been old and didn't want to do it anymore.

335
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Or, you know, maybe Pizza Hut ran them out of business.

336
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Although I don't know why, because that pizza there was so much better than Pizza Hut's.

337
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:42,000
But anyhow, someone... Could it be because everybody was stealing their pizza?

338
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Well, they stopped that. You know, when we had a big party and the fucking idiot ordered five of them,

339
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
then it was like, next time we called in, yeah, we need a credit card number.

340
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Oh, I don't have a credit card. Sorry.

341
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
You can give us a credit card number or you can come in and pay for it here,

342
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
but we do not do cash on delivery anymore.

343
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Okay. So anyhow, yeah, we screwed that one up.

344
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
And the problem was is we trusted too many people with that secret.

345
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000
We shouldn't have told anybody about it.

346
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
We should have just kept it to ourselves and we'd probably still be doing it.

347
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000
No, they went out, but you know.

348
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Anyhow, interesting. You got something you want to go into, Rob?

349
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Well, this one goes to all my Lake of the Ozarks listeners.

350
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Well, our Lake of the Ozarks listeners.

351
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Okay.

352
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Okay. I live in Camden County. This is out of Camden County, Missouri.

353
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,000
We're on Lake of the Ozarks.

354
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:52,000
The Camden County Sheriff's Office can no longer use license plate recognition systems.

355
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Good.

356
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Last week, I said good.

357
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Last week, the County Commissioners passed a law banning license plate recognition systems,

358
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
which was met with some opposition from Sheriff Tony Helms,

359
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
who says that this will impede the safety of the community.

360
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Helms issued a release on Monday saying the decision undermines the valuable resources of law enforcement.

361
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:32,000
KRCG spoke with him on Wednesday, and he clarified that the recognition systems are not used for ticketing or spying,

362
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,000
but play a significant role in making arrests and amber alert detection.

363
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Some Facebook users disagree with Helms.

364
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Okay.

365
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:52,000
I don't know how I feel about that, to be honest.

366
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Well, the reason I said good is because I think it's too invasive for most people, isn't it?

367
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Well, if you're not doing anything wrong, what's the big deal?

368
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Yeah, maybe not. Maybe I'm just taking it like a little bit too far moan head.

369
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Maybe I'm just like, you know, can they really do this?

370
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Well, I guess it doesn't really hurt anything.

371
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:28,000
I personally know a lot of people that run vehicles on wrong tags down here and all kinds of shit.

372
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Okay, then maybe it is a good thing.

373
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
You know what I mean?

374
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Yeah, okay. All right.

375
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
But it got denied.

376
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Okay, well.

377
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Because the county don't want it used for ticketing and spying.

378
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Well, then I guess it doesn't matter then whether you like it or not.

379
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Yeah, it got denied.

380
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,000
It's not going to happen, at least not now.

381
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Yeah, yeah. So we don't have to worry about them down here.

382
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Yeah, I find it interesting that they chose that, but okay.

383
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Yeah, me too. I figured they would have kept them.

384
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Yeah, I'd figure too it would make their job a little bit easier and less personnel,

385
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
which is probably what they're looking at because everybody has budget problems in this day and age.

386
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Yeah, they'd get a lot more revenue off of it. I know that for a fact.

387
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Yeah, yeah, that's the biggest part that surprises me right there is because you think that it would be.

388
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Yeah, well, you know what? Well, we're talking about law enforcement. You know, Brazil has new types of prison guards.

389
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Did you know that?

390
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
No, I didn't.

391
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Who needs guard dogs when you have guard geese?

392
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Perhaps not as intimidating.

393
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Oh, hell yeah.

394
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Geese are mean motherfuckers. They are mean.

395
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000
They will snap you. They will chase you. They'll hunt you down.

396
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
They're vengeful. They're ornery little motherfuckers.

397
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
And I'll tell you what, I would fear geese just like I would fear a fucking dog.

398
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
I'm telling you, they are mean.

399
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Perhaps.

400
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Growing up in Belton, my neighbor had one.

401
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,000
And if my ball went over that fence, it was gone. I would not forget it.

402
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Yeah.

403
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
That son of a bitch would chase me. Oh my God.

404
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,000
They are extremely aggressive and they're mean.

405
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
And they're bill snapped. They hurt.

406
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:33,000
So, you know, so guard geese maybe not quite as intimidating, you know, as a dog.

407
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:42,000
A gaggle of vigilant honking birds have replaced canines as guard at guards at a prison in Brazil's southern state of Santa Catarina.

408
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Routers reports, we have electronic surveillance, in-person surveillance, and finally the surveillance of the geese, which replaced the dogs.

409
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Marcos Roberto de Souza, director of the Penitentiary Complex near Phanopolis.

410
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Wow, that sounds like a Greek name.

411
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Tells the outlet the so-called geese agents led by a male goose named Poo Poo patrol on a green space between the prison's inner fence and the main outer wall.

412
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
If anything is amiss, they sound the alarm by honking.

413
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
It's not a new idea.

414
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:32,000
A decade-old report from New China TV describes how goose squads were organized to monitor 12 rural police stations in China's Zengquan region.

415
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:44,000
If someone climbs over the wall, the geese will start to honk and try to bite the stranger, a police officer told the outlet, which described the animals as highly cautious, especially at night.

416
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:52,000
A gaggle of 500 geese also helped guard China's border with Vietnam as the COVID-19 pandemic raged.

417
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:04,000
As National Geographic reported last year, the outlet explained geese are thought to be among the oldest domesticated animals, with a rich history of assisting in security.

418
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:26,000
One gaggle was even credited with trumpeting the alert and saving Rome from a secret gall invasion in 390 BC when sleeping geese can leave one side of the brain awake and the eye connected to it open to detect threats.

419
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I already knew this, but one goose, geese have one eye shut and one eye open to detect from threats.

420
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:44,000
They can close down one part of their brain and have one part open so they can be asleep, but the open eye can actually detect something coming at them. Did you know that?

421
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,000
No, I didn't.

422
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Yeah, so a rare phenomenon known as umphacetic slow-wave sleep, per the outlet. Geese are also cheaper to keep than dogs.

423
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:03,000
They basically take care of themselves, feeding on grass and not requiring veterinarian care, per NatGeo.

424
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Not even prison is suited to geese guards, but the penitentiary complex near Florentibus is a very silent place at night, even more so, cells it tells routers.

425
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Geese are known to have excellent hearing as well as excellent eyesight according to zoologists. Dogs have the upper hand when it comes to scent, however.

426
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:34,000
So I guess geese can't smell as good as dogs, but they sleep with one eye open. So there you go. Interesting, huh?

427
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Wow, yeah, yeah, that is.

428
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Yeah, so, anyhow, um, let's see, um, Starbucks is having some problems again.

429
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Again? Yeah, you know, they're having that union-busting stuff going on, remember?

430
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Oh yeah, that's right.

431
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Yep. Okay, well, here's what's going on with Starbucks now.

432
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Last weekend, Starbucks got a report that a New York store had been spray-painted with pro-Palestinian graffiti.

433
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:20,000
A few hours later at a store eight blocks away, a customer berated employees accusing the brand of being anti-Israel.

434
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,000
It's been a tough few weeks for the world's largest coffee company.

435
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:35,000
At a time when it hoped to be spreading holiday cheer and peppermint mochas, it's juggling boycotts over the war in the Middle East and a unionization effort at home.

436
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Gabriel Blake, a student at Kent State University in Ohio, said it's been tough to get her caffeine fix without stopping at one of the Starbucks stores on campus, but she's been boycotting the company since October when it sued Workers United, the union organizing its employees because the union had posted a pro-Palestinian message on social media.

437
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
The union did.

438
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Starbucks wanted to, uh...

439
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Why would they do that?

440
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,000
I don't know. None of this makes that much sense at all. And when I read it, I was like, what the fuck?

441
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:21,000
So, Starbucks wanted to stop the union from using its name and logo, saying the company had no official stance on the war and the union's posts might confuse customers.

442
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,000
But many boycotters like Blake thought Starbucks should offer more support to the people of Gaza.

443
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:43,000
I understand on a corporate level why they wanted to, uh, mediate the damage, mitigate the damage, I'm sorry, I said mediate, to mitigate that damage, but on the humanity level it's horrible, she said.

444
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
I personally try to consume and do things in a way that I'm not disregarding other people's pain when I'm purchasing something.

445
00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:02,000
In an open letter to employees Tuesday, Starbucks CEO Laxman Nussman denied the vandalism of stores and escalating protests in the US and abroad.

446
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:20,000
While I am grateful for so much, I am concerned that the state of the world we live in, there are conflicts in many parts, it has unleashed violence against the innocent, hate and weaponized speech and lies, all of which we condemn, he wrote. Our stance is clear, we stand for humanity.

447
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:33,000
But Blake said she would rather see Starbucks take measures like calling for a ceasefire or sending aid to the people of Gaza. She also thinks the company should drop its lawsuit.

448
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:51,000
So, um, anyhow, Seattle-based Starbucks won't say how its sales have been impacted, the company's next quarterly sales report won't come out until February, but there are indications Starbucks has taken a sales hit.

449
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:04,000
In early December, report JPMorgan analyst John Evoke lowered his US sales forecast for Starbucks fiscal first quarter, saying holiday sales appear to be slower than promotions.

450
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:14,000
In the fall, Starbucks share price tumbled on the news, meanwhile videos posted on X show protests in empty stores in London, Australia, Dubai and elsewhere.

451
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Starbucks has also been offering more deals than usual to draw customers like half-price drinks on Thursdays. In some cases like the Workers United lawsuit, Starbucks issues have been self-inflicted.

452
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:35,000
The company refiled the lawsuit in November to add language saying that respective workers right to express their views in the war in the Middle East.

453
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Now, here's what I gotta say about Starbucks right here. I don't feel one bit sorry for him, you know, because it wasn't that long ago where Starbucks was accusing basically every white man of hating gays and every other, um, for the way I understood it from what I read.

454
00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:07,000
They were pointing all different kinds of fingers at everybody, and I took exception to that because I don't hate gays. I don't hate African Americans. I don't hate anybody that does not bother me.

455
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:19,000
And I took exception to what was said, so I don't feel sorry for Starbucks because here's what to deal. After I heard some of that shit that their CEO was saying, and he's saying if you're a white straight male, we don't need your business.

456
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Okay then, you know what, fuck you. Here's the deal. How you like the foot being on, how you like the shoe being on your foot now, you're the one accused of being hate, and now all of a sudden it's a big tragedy.

457
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Fuck you, Starbucks. I think it's funny, and I hope you go under. Because you guys, in my opinion, are pieces of shit. You're fucking CEO Maldorf, and now he's stepping in shit. Enjoy your shit.

458
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Anyhow. Alright. Rank complete.

459
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Well, here's my stance on that.

460
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Yeah, please.

461
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,000
I have four brothers.

462
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Okay.

463
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
My baby brother is gay.

464
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Okay.

465
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
And I am proud of him.

466
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Of course.

467
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
That's all I'm going to say.

468
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Yeah, I totally understand your point.

469
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Yeah, no. It really irritated the piss out of me when I heard this fucking mush mouth fucking CEO saying all this shit.

470
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
I'm like, man, fuck you, man. You don't know me. You don't know who I am.

471
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
You know, you talk about like hate speech. That's what that guy was spewing out.

472
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
That's hate speech.

473
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:42,000
When you lump everybody into one category and say everybody of a certain category feels and thinks this way, you are saying hate speech yourself.

474
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,000
So. Anyhow. Enjoy it. Enjoy it.

475
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000
I'm glad someone accused you of some shit. Now.

476
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Hey, are, isn't Starbucks in our ass-palling hall of fame?

477
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Yes, they are, and they're going to stay there.

478
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Yep.

479
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Yeah.

480
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Yeah. So. Anyhow. You want to take a break? And you got something you want to get to, Rob?

481
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Yeah, let's take a break and we'll come back to another American songwriter.

482
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Oh, nice. Okay.

483
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Let's lighten it up a little bit.

484
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Let's lighten it up a little bit. All right.

485
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:29,000
The apocalypse just happened. You don't know what to do. You don't know where to go. But we can tell you what you can eat.

486
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
We can tell you what you can eat.

487
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Wild asparagus is plentiful and easy to find.

488
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:44,000
It can be stewed with garlic and onion, which is both wild, which can be easily found in a very tasty post-apocalypse food.

489
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,000
You can make this into a delicious stew, and this will hold you over at least for a couple of days until you can find some other food.

490
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Next up. Things Overheard in Hell.

491
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Baseball's third season of the year begins tonight. Yay.

492
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
And now, Deep Thoughts with Mark.

493
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Should I record frog sounds in the summer, then play them when it's zero degrees on my ring doorbell for the Amazon guy?

494
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Yeah, that sounds like fun.

495
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:31,000
If someone intimidates you, just imagine them on a table being wiped like a baby.

496
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Open up for wet wiping.

497
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Take the microphone on Mark.

498
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
And I'm off.

499
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Real quick, I want to say, everything is allegedly that we have said.

500
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Just to cover our asses, everything about Starbucks, allegedly, from what we understand. If we're wrong, we're sorry.

501
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
But I encourage everyone to look this stuff up for yourself.

502
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:06,000
So if we said something wrong, look it up, and then you can send me an email at DoucheB66 and tell me I'm a fuckhead.

503
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,000
DoucheB66 at Yahoo.com.

504
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
So, alright, you said you have American songwriters?

505
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Yes, yes. And, which, everybody can go and look up American songwriter on the internet.

506
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,000
I don't, I don't because I want your reports to be a surprise. I could, but I don't.

507
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,000
You're telling them to me, so I don't need to. You're doing all the footwork, I'm just sitting back here relaxing.

508
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Oh, and let me tell you, they come out with a bunch I can't cover all of.

509
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Well, maybe I do need to read them then.

510
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:50,000
But, this one, it's seven must listen to albums from the 70s.

511
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Okay.

512
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Okay, some of them, you know they're going to be there. At least a couple of them.

513
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,000
But they threw some in there, I was like, alright, I like that.

514
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Of course they did, it's American songwriters, they always throw that, what?

515
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,000
They always do that one where you're like, you're doing the RCA Victor one, huh?

516
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
I love them, whoever they are, I love them, they're great.

517
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Seven must listen to albums of the 70s.

518
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,000
I can't wait to hear this.

519
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd.

520
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Okay, we knew, yeah, we knew that was going to be there. Yep.

521
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,000
1973.

522
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Is that when it was released, really?

523
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Yeah.

524
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Oh my God, I got to know that album so much later than when it was released, I had no idea when it was actually released.

525
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Never even bothered to look.

526
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,000
1973, well that's what this is saying.

527
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Wow, no, I believe it, I believe it.

528
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Okay, next, Led Zeppelin IV.

529
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Okay, that's predictable too, yeah.

530
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,000
1971, like I said, there's a couple there.

531
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Oh like, you know, the thing is, I love Led Zeppelin IV, but Led Zeppelin has so many greater albums than IV.

532
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
IV gets all the pub because of Stairway to Heaven.

533
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Right.

534
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:22,000
But it's still a great album, but man, Physical Graffiti is one of the best albums ever written, simply it, end of everything.

535
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Physical Graffiti is a double album of all new material that they released.

536
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,000
Right, right.

537
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:35,000
I mean, really, you never got a double album back then unless it was like, you know, like a live double album or something.

538
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,000
But Led Zeppelin came out and said, yeah, we have so many songs, we're going to do a double album, guys, and it's not live, it's not repeats.

539
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Physical Graffiti is excellent, I mean, and then Side 2.

540
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,000
There's so much stuff on Side 2 on that, like The Rover, it's just amazing.

541
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Anyhow, go ahead.

542
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Okay, next, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie.

543
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,000
That is not my favorite Bowie period, but okay, I can't argue.

544
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,000
1972, well, mine either, mine either.

545
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:20,000
I enjoyed Ziggy Stardust, but I like Bowie not being Ziggy Stardust better, but that's cool, that's cool.

546
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
I'm the same way.

547
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Yeah, Bowie had some incredible stuff, but I never considered Stardust some of his best work.

548
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,000
That's just me, though, I know other people think I'm insane by saying that, so.

549
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Alright, Songs and the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder.

550
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Oh, that's a good one.

551
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,000
1976.

552
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Who could argue with that, honestly?

553
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Like I said, they're throwing ones, yeah, okay.

554
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,000
I get it.

555
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Number 5, I see this one being there.

556
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Okay.

557
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Rumors by Fleetwood Mac.

558
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

559
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000
1977.

560
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,000
One of the unsung heroes in that album is Lindsay Buckingham.

561
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
That guitar work on there is just fucking mind-boggling.

562
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,000
It's not finger-tapping, it's not mind-blowing fret work.

563
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:29,000
The songwriting that Lindsay Buckingham did on that whole album, just insanely, just so well written.

564
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
And just like thought-provoking when you hear it.

565
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:42,000
It's like whenever you hear his riffs put together, because he never played electric guitar until Fleetwood Mac.

566
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,000
He always played acoustic, did you know that?

567
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,000
No, I did not know that.

568
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:56,000
No, Mick Fleetwood said no, he said we'd love to have you, but we have electric guitar in this band.

569
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,000
And you need to play electric guitar.

570
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,000
And he almost didn't join, but he joined.

571
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:11,000
And I forgot, there's some sort of a deal with like they gave him, offered him extra money or something, because Mick Fleetwood knew that that guy was so talented.

572
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,000
So anyhow, yeah, I mean Lindsay Buckingham I think was unsung hero on that whole thing.

573
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
But go ahead, Rumors was a great album.

574
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Yes, I agree.

575
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Up next, Never Mind the Bullets, here's the six pistols.

576
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Okay.

577
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000
1977.

578
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,000
I don't think it should be in that list, but okay.

579
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,000
I mean, yeah, it was good.

580
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Yeah, punk is cool.

581
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:47,000
It's a lot of energy, it's a lot of raw emotion, but to be put in that sacred.

582
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:52,000
I see kind of what they're doing here, they're covering different genres.

583
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,000
I get it. Okay. All right, man.

584
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Yeah, and I'm seeing what they're doing here now.

585
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000
And Never Mind the Bullocks, you got to go with that one, because that was their template for everything they ever did.

586
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,000
So.

587
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Yeah, see, we got Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac.

588
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
And Sid Vicious, yep, you're right.

589
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Yeah, they're going everywhere, they're all over the genres.

590
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Okay, that's what they're doing.

591
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Okay, it's cool, it's cool.

592
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Okay, and the final one?

593
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Blue, by Joni Mitchell.

594
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,000
They did cover everything, yes they did.

595
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Yes, they did.

596
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Okay, that's a cool album.

597
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,000
That was in 1971, by the way.

598
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,000
71? Joni Mitchell, wow.

599
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
I would have never thought that, but okay.

600
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Nice, good job, Rob.

601
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,000
If you like folk and blues.

602
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Yeah, it's good.

603
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:52,000
I mean, like I said, most of those albums I would not have put on that list, but I'm not everybody.

604
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
And also they're kind of, you know.

605
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,000
So, all right, I commend them.

606
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,000
It was a very interesting, well thought of list.

607
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,000
So, I thought Fleetwood Mac Rumors was bravo on that one.

608
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,000
I could not agree more.

609
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Yes, me too. That whole album is just so uniquely written.

610
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,000
It's perfect.

611
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Do you ever wonder about the Miller Highlife chick?

612
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:27,000
You know, the one in the beautiful, I think, Latina type Mexican dress with the sombrero and the boots hanging from the.

613
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Oh yeah.

614
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, real classy, hanging from the moon with the Chepagniabiers.

615
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Yeah.

616
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:41,000
On December 30th, Miller Highlife will celebrate its 120th birthday.

617
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:49,000
When it was launched, Milwaukee's Miller Brewing Company was already serving other beers throughout the Midwest.

618
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,000
Miller Highlife was meant to be different than those.

619
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Daniel Schelson, an archivist for the company, explained in a Molson Coors blog post.

620
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:06,000
Instead of being advertised as a tavern or saloon serving Schlotzlin said,

621
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Miller Highlife was presented as a beer to appear on the tables of the best restaurants in the city or the country.

622
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Three years after its 1903 launch, a woman dressed in an apparent circus costume was added to the advertising kit for Miller Highlife.

623
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,000
She stood on a Highlife crate while carrying a tray of the beer.

624
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Another Molson Coors blog post explains a year later the woman was put on a crescent moon, becoming the icon that we know today.

625
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
There are several origin stories for the Miller Highlife lady.

626
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:50,000
She may have been based on a member of the Miller family, some say, while others point to Mexican artwork the Brewing family acquired.

627
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Maybe the best story you'll hear, though, is the best Wisconsin lore of all.

628
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:04,000
As Molson Coors and the tour guides at its Milwaukee facility explains, when Miller Highlife's advertising campaign was still in the works,

629
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,000
advertising executive A.C. Paul went on a hunting trip in northern Wisconsin.

630
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
While out, Paul became lost in the woods.

631
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:19,000
As he tried to find his way, he reportedly had a vision of a woman perched upon the moon, which helped him back to safety.

632
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:27,000
In this origin, whether this story is true is unclear how the vision became the real girl on the moon.

633
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Yet there is yet another possible origin, too.

634
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Linda Hoffman, a nurse at the mental smith for Milwaukee, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that she believes her great uncle Thomas Wallace Holmes is to thank for the girl in the moon.

635
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Hoffman believes he used her grandmother as a model for the Miller Highlife lady on the moon, and her great aunt was the model for the aforementioned woman standing on the crate.

636
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Still, Molson Coors says the girl in the moon's identity is unknown.

637
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:08,000
It's hard to pin down her exact origins, but that lends a little more mystery to her as a figure Schlotzen says.

638
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:19,000
After briefly being removed from models in Kans Miller Highlife, the girl on the moon returned in 1998 and has remained ever since.

639
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
And I love it. I'm glad that they leave her on there.

640
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Because I think it is cool. It's nostalgic.

641
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:34,000
It makes me actually want to. I don't drink Miller. I'm a big Yanling fan. Of course, you know, we all know this.

642
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:45,000
But if I should drink the regular beer like that, I would probably drink a Miller just because of the can having her on it, wouldn't you?

643
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Yeah, yeah, I would.

644
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,000
I mean, it's cool.

645
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
So, anyhow.

646
00:56:53,000 --> 00:57:00,000
We can go into this a little bit here. We got about seven or eight minutes left.

647
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Do you have anything you really want to get to, Rob?

648
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Nothing, but I think.

649
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Okay. Oh, real quick.

650
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,000
I could come up with something if I need to.

651
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Okay, real quick. I want to come up with something. I was going to go into this TikTok at work article and how people are pissed off.

652
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:23,000
But, okay, I got to address the email I got yesterday.

653
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,000
Someone is having real fucking fun at my expense.

654
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:35,000
They claim to be the mad crop duster and they said they. Oh, he struck again. He struck again.

655
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,000
It has to be him because somebody crop dusted me again at work.

656
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,000
And sure enough, the next day I got a ha ha. I got you email.

657
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:49,000
So, Rob, I don't know what to do about this.

658
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
This fucker is shitting all over me and I don't know who it is.

659
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Oh, wow.

660
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Yeah, I know.

661
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
I'm getting snappy mad here.

662
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,000
I'm getting shit on all the time now and I'm getting looked at like I'm doing it.

663
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:14,000
Oh, wow. You have these problems.

664
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
I know. I got to catch this fucker.

665
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Yeah, sent me a nice little email. He he he. I shit on you again. Did you smell it, bitch?

666
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,000
I'm like, hey, you motherfucker. Yes, I did.

667
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,000
My fucking nostril hairs are burnt off now because of that fucker.

668
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:40,000
So I got I got a way to catch him.

669
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Oh, yeah. I don't know if we want to say it on there because then he'll know.

670
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Oh, shit. Hang on. Hang on.

671
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Let me pause this and then we'll come right back. OK.

672
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
All right. Everybody, you're going to hear a clipping because I'm going to pause this.

673
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
I'm going to listen to Rob's plan and I'm going to come back and give you a yay or nay on it.

674
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,000
OK, hang on. We'll be right back, guys.

675
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,000
All right, Rob. I love that idea.

676
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,000
All right, Mr. All right, Mr. Pants Shitter.

677
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Rob got a good one for you. We're going to find you.

678
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:15,000
We're going to hunt you. We're going to hunt you down and I'm going to hold you down and I'm going to shit all over your face.

679
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,000
I am going to shit all over you.

680
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:25,000
You're going to be sticky with with shit, shit juice all over you.

681
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Isn't that true, Rob? Yes, you are.

682
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Yes, you are. Yep. Thank you, Rob.

683
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
We're going to know who you are here really quick. Yeah. Awesome.

684
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Let's let's close it. I told you I still got it in me.

685
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,000
That was a good. I love that one. I'm going to do it.

686
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Stay tuned, everybody. I'm going to let you know about my successful attempt at catching him here real soon.

687
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,000
I love that. It was very simple, too.

688
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Yeah. Excellent.

689
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Excellent. Real quick, we're going to cap off tonight's podcast with one more thing.

690
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:07,000
This is Geezer Butler and he's pretty upset at Ozzy.

691
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Uh oh. Yeah.

692
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Rumor has it this is Geezer Butler, what he wrote on Insta and ex formerly known as Twitter.

693
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Geezer wrote this rumor has it Ozzy upset saying he never received my get well messages.

694
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,000
I made two different attempts at getting in touch during his illness.

695
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:37,000
My first email, 8th of February, 2019, went through his office because I didn't have Ozzy's new number to text him.

696
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Sharon responded, but I didn't hear back from Ozzy.

697
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Eleven months later, 21st of January, 2020, I emailed Sharon to check on Oz. That email went unanswered.

698
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,000
I don't want to engage in a tit for tat.

699
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Having made two attempts to wish Ozzy well without a reply, I figure it's best to privately keep him in my thoughts.

700
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Ozzy was saying that he was really upset that Geezer Butler never reached out to him while he was ill.

701
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,000
Geezer Butler got ahold of that and he said, wait a minute.

702
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,000
He said, no, no, no. I sent you a couple of emails.

703
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Sharon got one of them and the other one was unanswered because he didn't have his new phone number.

704
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Geezer said, I tried, but I never got an answer.

705
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:36,000
He's pretty much telling Ozzy, dude, I tried to, but I got no answer.

706
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Anyhow, they had some differences, I guess.

707
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:46,000
Geezer Butler's wife is his manager. Ozzy's manager is his wife.

708
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:52,000
They haven't been getting along really well ever since the Sabbath reunion.

709
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,000
The way the money was cut and everything, I guess they didn't like it.

710
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Some of the other stuff that was going on.

711
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:05,000
It sounds to me like the two women have been feuding and the two guys have been playing together.

712
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Like he said, it's a tit for tat thing.

713
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:15,000
It's unfortunate that he sent those emails and it didn't get answered.

714
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,000
I think I believe him. I don't think he would have lied.

715
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,000
If he was mad at Ozzy, he would have just said, no, I didn't send him an email because I didn't care.

716
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,000
But he said that he did.

717
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:31,000
He said that Sharon answered one of them and then she didn't answer the other one.

718
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,000
So, you know what, Geezer, if I were you, I would just, you said it.

719
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:42,000
You said what was going on. If Ozzy really wants to address it, he will take it up with Sharon.

720
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,000
And you did everything you could.

721
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:50,000
So anyhow, Geezer, I think you're exonerated from this whole bullshit.

722
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Anyhow, all right, Rob, you got anything you want to add tonight?

723
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:00,000
All right, everybody have a Merry Christmas.

724
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,000
Thank you for tuning in.

725
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:08,000
I haven't had a lot of time to prepare for this podcast.

726
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,000
I think I sounded kind of, I don't know, I think I was a little bit off on most of it.

727
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:17,000
So I apologize. I'll be ready and back in the ring on the next one. I'm sure.

728
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,000
So anyhow, do you notice I was off?

729
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,000
I don't know.

730
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
I know, maybe a little bit.

731
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Okay. Yeah, I was off. I think so.

732
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:34,000
But anyhow, next one will rebound, I'll rebound. Rob wasn't off. Rob was doing great.

733
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,000
I was off this whole podcast.

734
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,000
It's been a busy week.

735
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,000
Yes, it has. Much busier than I thought.

736
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,000
A lot going on these days.

737
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Yeah, and also we got the crews coming up here in 40 days and finalizing some stuff on that too that's been just insane too.

738
01:03:54,000 --> 01:04:00,000
So I've been really, really busy. So this next one I'm going to be ready for and everybody have a good night.

739
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Thank you for listening. Bye.

740
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Good night everybody.

741
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Hey, where did everybody go? Where are the douchebags?

742
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Oh my God, someone took a dump in the corner. Oh geez.

743
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Ugh, I'm glad they're gone. Let's just hope they don't come back. Man, that smells.
