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
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
And now it's time for the Daily Douchebag Pledge.

3
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Two Douchebags and a Microphone Pledge, I, Joe, or Jane listener, hereby promise to download every show.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I, Joe, or Jane listener, hereby promise to grab family members phones and download the show from there.

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
I, Joe, or Jane listener, hereby promise to go to public computers and download the show from there.

6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I, Joe, or Jane listener, hereby promise to laugh at all the unfunny jokes.

7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I, Joe, or Jane listener, hereby promise to lie to all my friends and tell them how good the show is.

8
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And finally, I, Joe, or Jane listener, promise to visit Montrose, Missouri to take advantage of the power plant, campgrounds, and junkyard all within its quarter mile radius.

9
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Hey there, don't worry, I have a clown nose.

10
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Oh no, that drunk guy just hit my child.

11
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
It's okay, I have a clown nose.

12
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Clown nose, just put one on and you can do anything.

13
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Want to run for office? Murder people in public? Just grab a clown nose and bam, everyone laughs.

14
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Clown noses are sold at gag stores online and pedophile conventions. Grab one today and make magic happen.

15
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Hey look, I think we found land. Oh my god, I think we're safe. Oh no, it's the island of horrible jokes.

16
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Singing in the shower is fun, until you get soap in your mouth. Then it's a soap opera.

17
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.

18
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:52,000
You are dressed like an assistant debate coach at an Ohio State middle school.

19
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Alright everybody, two douchebags and microphone on Mark.

20
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And I'm Rob.

21
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Rob, you want to finish what you started on the last podcast about, well you go ahead and explain it.

22
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Yeah, it's, I found this on Society of Rock, and the article is called The Rockstars That Went Too Hard in Rocking.

23
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Well, on the last podcast I gave the first five, which was Keith Moon, Keith Richards, Ozzy Osbourne, John Bonham, and Errol Smith-Confit twins, which is Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.

24
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Yep.

25
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So tonight, I had the final five.

26
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Cool.

27
00:03:44,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Guitarist Dave Navarro got banned from the Playboy Mansion after injecting heroin and attempted to write on the walls with his blood during infamous business.

28
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Oh my God.

29
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Wow, I had no idea.

30
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I did not hear about that one.

31
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,000
No, I didn't know Dave Navarro was that fucked up at one time. Geez. I didn't know he was a heroin junkie it sounds like.

32
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Injected.

33
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Yeah, oh.

34
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
He shot it.

35
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Fuck, main line in heroin is not playing around.

36
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Damn dude.

37
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Wow, now he must have cleaned up because he's on Ink Master and everything.

38
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Yeah, yeah, no, I'm sure he cleaned up. Remember he was like married to Carmen Elector or something and then I forgot.

39
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Yeah, I bet it was about that time. I bet it was.

40
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Yeah, it probably was. I mean to be honest, I mean that 90s period there, everybody was fucked up. I mean any type of music at all, they were just on something or another.

41
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I mean look at all the people that OD'd, killed themselves, what have you. I mean it was an inordinate amount even for music and an inordinate amount of people dying off from drug overdoses and killing themselves because of being on drugs.

42
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:24,000
So, yeah, it was even for music, even for the music industry and especially particularly the rock industry which has been real heavy with overdoses ever since rock and roll got big.

43
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Yeah.

44
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Even then it was a large number of rock stars that OD'd or killed themselves because of drug use. So, anyhow, go ahead Rob.

45
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Okay, next. Billy Idol's three week party in a bank top hotel resulted in a $250,000 bill for damages. Military intervention was needed to remove him, highlighting the extremes of his nonstop party.

46
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000
I love Billy Idol, I love him even more now. It took the military to get him out of his hotel.

47
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Dude, he pulled the ultimate hotel party, costing $250,000.

48
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Man, he made me shame on my game. My hotel game used to be good. Nothing like that. Nothing like that.

49
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Oh yeah, yeah.

50
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Oh wow.

51
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Wow. And that was in Bangkok, so you know shit's cheap there.

52
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Oh yeah, gosh, there's probably fucking Bangkok hookers everywhere, all over everywhere.

53
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
I got them.

54
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
$250,000, I bet they destroyed the whole floor.

55
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Yes, because like you said, Bangkok, I don't imagine anything being too expensive there, especially at that time.

56
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Right, right.

57
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Yeah, but it's funny, they had to bring in military intervention to get him out of there.

58
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I wonder if they charge him for the military intervention and all that too.

59
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
I know the United States would.

60
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Oh yeah, and they should.

61
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
I know for a fact.

62
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
You waste money like that, they should charge you. So, wow.

63
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Right, right.

64
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Okay.

65
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Okay, next up, Dungeon Rose's bases. Doug McKagan faced health issues due to excessive alcohol consumption.

66
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,000
A burst pancreas prompted him to change his lifestyle and seek recovery.

67
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,000
And he is like really good on Wall Street right now. He's like some sort of...

68
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Yes, he is.

69
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:51,000
I mean, he is highly intelligent and that burst pancreas probably saved his life, even though it sounds like weird that he would say something like that.

70
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
But it probably saved his life because...

71
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
It changed his lifestyle.

72
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Yes.

73
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:10,000
He changed his lifestyle. In other words, he quit drinking, I'm guessing. Yeah, he's living a good life, like you just mentioned. Now he's doing stuff on Wall Street.

74
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Yeah, it was that moment of clarity I imagine when he...

75
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Yes, yeah.

76
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:23,000
...his pancreas burst. Wow, that's interesting. And anyhow, he's a great bass player. He just doesn't look rock and roll now.

77
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
I mean, he's cooler now.

78
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Right.

79
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I haven't seen him later.

80
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I mean, yeah.

81
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:45,000
It's kind of sad when I see some of these rockers from my generation, like Dave Mustaine. I think he beat or at least is in remission hopefully of throat cancer. He had a lot of treatments.

82
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
But I mean, he kind of looks like Hank Hill or something now. He does not look like he used to.

83
00:08:50,000 --> 00:09:12,000
And it's sad for me, not just because of he and this big robust rock star anymore, but I don't know. It's a reminder that we're all mortal and we're all getting older. We're all getting older and we're all dwindling down. It's really kind of sad.

84
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
And if you think about it, these guys are actually a couple years older than us, if not a few more.

85
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Yeah, they are. I mean, Dave Mustaine I believe is probably 62 or something like that. They're a little bit ahead of us, but they look like they're quite a bit ahead of us probably because of their lifestyle. But it's just sad when I see that.

86
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
You think we used to party. Ha!

87
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not like this.

88
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
We were lightweight.

89
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I always had the ability to get my head together, thank God. No matter how far I took it the night before, I always had the ability to look at myself and go, dude, you need to slow down. If you don't, you're going to do stupid shit.

90
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:12,000
So you better just, you better get in check right now. And I know you have that ability too, but we all know people, we all know good friends that did not have the ability. Some of them are alive, some of them are in prison, some of them are dead, unfortunately.

91
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So, anyhow, go ahead with your list, I'm sorry.

92
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Okay, next up.

93
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Rob Stewart found a creative way to enjoy cocaine without damaging his voice. Homemade cocaine suppositories.

94
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,000
The Stevie's approach allowed him to balance his love for the drug with his singing career.

95
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And yes, I have heard that.

96
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Stevie Nicks style is what they call it. Stevie Nicks had an anal injector that injected her cocaine anally because she destroyed her nose cavities from cocaine.

97
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:09,000
This is not, I mean, I read this in enough reputable places, I do believe this to be true. I mean, I read it in, I don't know, quite a few magazines that this actually did happen.

98
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:22,000
She had a handler that was in charge of anally injecting cocaine. And every time I've seen Fleetwood Mac, I've seen them three times, Stevie Nicks would leave the stage a large amount of times.

99
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,000
She'd do a song, leave the stage for a minute, come back. Do a song, leave the stage for a minute, come back.

100
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And back then I was thinking, hmm, is she doing bumps of coke or something because what the hell is going on?

101
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
And then I find out way later, yeah, but not the way you're accustomed to.

102
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:49,000
It was so bad they call it SNS, Stevie Nicks style. So if you hear anyone go, yeah, I was doing cocaine SNS, that means you're doing it anyway.

103
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
I've never heard about Stevie doing it. I've heard about Rod Stewart doing it.

104
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Yeah, and also heard other things about Rod Stewart, but it was not true.

105
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Yeah, me too.

106
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:09,000
I forgot what, someone that was like really mad at him, I read the story behind this, it was really interesting, believe it or not.

107
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Someone that was really mad at him started that rumor and Rod Stewart heard it, he said, keep spreading it. He goes, this is great publicity.

108
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
He didn't care, he didn't give a shit. He had the hottest chicks around him, he had all the money.

109
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000
He's like, I don't care if people think I did that. It gets him to talk about me. So I was like, way to go Rod.

110
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Boy it did, boy it did.

111
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Yes it did, because everybody when we were younger thought that story was true.

112
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Yeah, if you know the story we're talking about.

113
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Let's see, he...

114
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
If you're old enough to remember.

115
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Yeah, you know what, I'll just leave it at that because half of the audience is going to go, oh yeah, I remember that. And the other half is going to go...

116
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Another half of you, look it up.

117
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Look it up. Anyhow, I'm interrupting your West End.

118
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Okay, okay, one last one.

119
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Alrighty.

120
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Alternative rockers or replacements were infamous for their heavy drinking leading to a ban from Saturday Night Live.

121
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Guitarist Bob Stitson's extreme behavior contributed to his departure from the band and eventual death.

122
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Oh, I didn't even know that. Wow, okay.

123
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Okay.

124
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Okay, I mean I wasn't really big on the replacements but I had no idea about that. Okay.

125
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
No, I didn't either until I read this.

126
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Huh, well that's too bad.

127
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I mean I've heard of them, you know, my tap music.

128
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Yeah, yeah, me too. I mean I did like some of their stuff but really most of it was not my stuff either.

129
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
But I knew about them, I knew about their antics and found them intriguing. It's just that music wasn't my style that I liked.

130
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
So I get you Rob, I was the same way.

131
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Anyhow, man, thank you.

132
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Oh, oh, oh, oh, one other thing.

133
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Yes.

134
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Grandma Opal.

135
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Grandma Opal, yep. Grandma Opal, thank you for listening, we love you, you're awesome.

136
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Grandma Opal from Garden City, Kansas and her...

137
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Dodge City, Dodge City.

138
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Oh, was it Dodge City? Oh shit, I'm sorry.

139
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Dodge City.

140
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
It was Dodge City. Okay, Grandma Opal from Dodge City.

141
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Yeah, yeah, she's a lot of our hits on RSS, Dodge City.

142
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Yeah, I know, we keep getting a lot from there so it's gotta be Grandma Opal and probably her son. And her son is a great guy, he emailed me a couple of times.

143
00:14:50,000 --> 00:15:03,000
And he said that, he said he can maybe like, if she wants to go on the air, if she wants to, he'll probably interpret it for both, you know, he'll tell her in person,

144
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:12,000
hey, they said they really like you and thank you for listening and if you got any thoughts of wisdom and then she would say, yeah, you know, we're a rubber-

145
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
So in other words, she would be on air with us and she would be right there?

146
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Yes, yeah.

147
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Okay, so as long as you put her on speaker, you know, we want to hear her.

148
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Yeah, yeah, so I think he will, if it pans out, great, but he said he's gotta be over there on a weekend, in the evening, he does go over on the weekends to help her out on everything that she could get done during the week and bring her groceries and stuff like that.

149
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Because you are a great guy, my-

150
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
He is, because she loves living on her own.

151
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
You are a great guy, you take care of your grandma.

152
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Yes, and he said that she loves her independence so much that if she didn't have it, he thinks that like she would just, you know, probably not, you know, not do so well.

153
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:11,000
So anyhow, you know, he's given her her independence and at the same time making sure that she has plenty of everything that she needs and everything that's done around the house.

154
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:21,000
So anyhow, he never did give me his name though. I'm gonna ask him, email me your name, whoever you are, and grandma, Opal, we love you.

155
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
No, I think you said it on the-

156
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
On the first one?

157
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Okay, I'll go back to my emails because I still have them online, the ones that are printed out.

158
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:40,000
I'm pretty sure you mentioned it when you first mentioned this.

159
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:52,000
You know what, I probably did because, yeah, only a few names stand out like Ruth Ann because she was so mad, you know, and stuff like that.

160
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I mean, the other one, Jeffy X, you know, the people from Montrose.

161
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Ruth Ann's gonna go down in the hall of fame of this show.

162
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Oh, and there's a big groundswell, a grassroots effort to get her in the ass paddling and in the hall of fame.

163
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
I have two more emails demanding her be paddled.

164
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Rob will not let it happen, I'm sorry.

165
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
I will not let it happen.

166
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Even though Ruth Ann-

167
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
She is my friend.

168
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Ruth Ann turned her back on Rob to hurt me. He still will not turn his back on her.

169
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Rob, you're a true friend, unlike Ruth Ann.

170
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:44,000
So, anyhow, you know Reese's peanut butter cups are pretty awesome, right?

171
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Oh, dude, that's my favorite candy.

172
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Oh, it's so good.

173
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, if I buy any candy, I'm not a candy eater. But yeah, Reese's peanut butter cups, that's it.

174
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Well-

175
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I even make a chocolate pie and I spread peanut butter in the graham cracker shell. Oh, it's awesome.

176
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Oh, that sounds good.

177
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
I'm gonna add the wood top. Yeah, you don't even have to cook it.

178
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Well, Reese's has come up with a new peanut butter cake and it's called Nothing Bunt Cakes.

179
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:30,000
And anyhow, it's a peanut butter chocolate bunt cake and it's gonna be available next Halloween for a limited time.

180
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And it looks like you're gonna have to order it online.

181
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
I'll be watching.

182
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Yeah, me too. That sounds pretty good to me.

183
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
And we have-

184
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Well, hey, I could make my own.

185
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
That's what I thought too.

186
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Now that they gave me the idea, I can make my own.

187
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I would make my own and also try one of theirs because I bet you one of theirs is really good. Wouldn't you think?

188
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Oh, so if you're talking about cake, did you know that you can make a cake in a crop pot?

189
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
No. Really?

190
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
I used to do it. Yep.

191
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Huh. You know what? Not on there because-

192
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Let me- I'll get there. Anybody that's interested, yes, you can make a cake in a crop pot. I will get the recipe and I'll bring it out on the next podcast.

193
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Either that or just put it up on our Facebook page, Two Deuce Bags and Microphone.

194
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Alright. How about both? You put it on the page and you also tell it.

195
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Alright.

196
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Okay. That way if people don't remember, they can go back to that and get it as a reference.

197
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Which, yeah, with all my time off I've had, I still ain't made the work on the Facebook page.

198
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000
You know what, everything here is a process because everything we do is in our spare time.

199
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I mean we have lives, we have full-time jobs, we have stuff we have to do like tomorrow the floor guy's coming in because a new slab that was screwed up that they had to fix.

200
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:30,000
We have this, it's called river gravel, pea gravel coating put on the top of it. Well, when they had to dig into it to fasten the two slabs together like I described before, they had to tear all that up. They had to tear it all out.

201
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:42,000
So the guy from Patriot Coating is coming back out tomorrow to redo that spot and the foundation company, they're going to pay for it.

202
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
So, relatively happy after all the crap that happened earlier this year. It seems like maybe finally this is going to be done.

203
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
So, anyhow, it's coming over tomorrow.

204
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
I hope so.

205
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Yeah, so, anyhow.

206
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
That's been a big battle for you.

207
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000
A lot of weight off your shoulders, right?

208
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Yeah, because it's been really stressful for about a year and a half now because that's how long it took to get two slabs put on the house and a coating.

209
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Anyhow, you know, I'm not even going to go into it.

210
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
And I'm not going to dog the company or nothing like that because you know what, they made it good.

211
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Yeah, they made it good.

212
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no.

213
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And I would mention them on the podcast, but everything has been so sensitive and we're at odds with each other so much.

214
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
I don't feel comfortable saying anything.

215
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
They may not want to even be associated with it because everything was screwed up.

216
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Patriot Coatings didn't screw anything up.

217
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,000
They did wonderful, but I'm not going to mention the other, the foundation company because they did screw a lot of stuff up.

218
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
They made it good, but if I mention their name, it's going to seem like they're not a good company, which I think they are.

219
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
So, that's why I'm not mentioning their name.

220
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000
I totally understand that.

221
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Yeah, I think it would be wrong.

222
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I'm from the construction world.

223
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
I totally understand that.

224
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Yeah, because they did right and they honored everything.

225
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:21,000
So, anyhow, you know that Tuyetago Viola is getting a lot of criticism, right?

226
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
He usually does.

227
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Yes, he does.

228
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Oh, did I say that out loud?

229
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
What did you say?

230
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I said, did I say that out loud?

231
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
I think everybody knows.

232
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Well, this criticism is a little different.

233
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Okay, all the sports talk shows, we know this, all the sports talk shows are, oh, he's soft.

234
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,000
He can't get it done.

235
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
He's weak.

236
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
He drops the ball in clutch times.

237
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
He can't deliver that clutch pass and all this.

238
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Okay, so we got all of that right.

239
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000
And I mean, in all fairness, they are a Miami team and they were in like, what was it?

240
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000
The windchill was like 25 below when they're playing the game.

241
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
25, 30 below, yeah, windchill.

242
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000
In Kansas City.

243
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Yeah, in Kansas City.

244
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Tyreek Hill knew what he was coming into.

245
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
He played it.

246
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,000
And he admitted it was worse than what he thought.

247
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It was horrid.

248
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
It was horrid because I had to do a couple of things out in the yard that took more than 10 minutes.

249
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
And I'll tell you what, it was horrid.

250
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
I don't think I've ever experienced cold on that level before.

251
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,000
It was a different kind of cold.

252
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
I mean, there's a cold that goes through you.

253
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Yes, I know this.

254
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,000
But this was like a cold that would, a type of cold that would engulf you and take all your air away.

255
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,000
I mean, it was just, it was horrible.

256
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
I don't know how people stood out there.

257
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
So anyhow.

258
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
I've been binge watching Ice Hurt Truckers.

259
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Oh jeez, that show is scary.

260
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Just for something, dude.

261
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
And no, the temperatures, you know, they get 30, they're like 30, 40 below.

262
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Yeah, they do.

263
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
So the temperature that night was not far off that.

264
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Yeah.

265
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Yeah, I used to watch that show all the time.

266
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,000
And I found it very stressful.

267
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
So I stopped watching it.

268
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000
I love it, dude.

269
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
It keeps me on the edge of my seat.

270
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
That's cool.

271
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
I mean, me, I took it personally.

272
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
I was sitting around the edge of my seat.

273
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Oh, dude, man, you're, oh, come on, man.

274
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
So anyhow, it was a good show though.

275
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:48,000
So anyhow, Tua Tagovaiola is getting a lot of criticism, not because of his play on the field, but what he did after the game going to Patrick Mahomes.

276
00:24:48,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes approached Miami's Tua Tagovaiola on the field and waited a second as LaJeriastique finished his conversation with the Dolphins quarterback.

277
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Mahomes then congratulated Tua Tagovaiola, who led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards on a hell of a season.

278
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Tagovaiola asked for Mahomes' jersey after the game, but the jersey had been promised to someone else, but Mahomes promised to send him a signed and autographed jersey in the mail.

279
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:36,000
The reason he's getting criticism is fans are saying that he is appearing soft because he's a, he's a homer or a mark for Patrick Mahomes.

280
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:46,000
They say that you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be that enamored with a current player that, that you're soft and you're weak.

281
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000
And I, I, I don't think that's the truth at all.

282
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I think that he's a fan of Mahomes, which a lot of people are, and there's been other people asking for his jersey before.

283
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:09,000
It's just that Tagovaiola is getting a lot of criticism, criticism right now and he's getting piled on. And, and anyhow, I, that to me was unfair.

284
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Maybe some of the other stuff you want to say about he, you know, he's not clutch. He doesn't, if, if it's a winning record team, he can't win.

285
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
If you rush him, he freaks out. Maybe some of that might be true. There might be some truth to that.

286
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:35,000
But this right here is nitpicking. So to me, if you're going to say something about the guy, don't say something like that about, oh, he shouldn't have asked for his jersey.

287
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
I think that's a very nice compliment that he gave Mahomes doing that. And I think it's a very nice gesture.

288
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,000
And Mahomes didn't take any offense to that at all. Mahomes is like, you know what? I promise this jersey to someone else.

289
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:59,000
And, but I will send you one. So I think it's fantastic that they have comradery like that. And then he has an admiration for Mahomes and Mahomes seems to like him well too.

290
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Okay. I haven't said nothing yet, but I had been noticing a lot of that going on in the NFL.

291
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
The quarterback players are exchanging jerseys.

292
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,000
I think it's more.

293
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Right on the field after the game.

294
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
I think some of it may be for their kids.

295
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Because I think what did I read was Peyton Manning.

296
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:32,000
He got some jerseys from Mahomes when he was, I forgot he was doing some stuff with Mahomes and he got some jerseys for his sons because his sons are like nuts about him.

297
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Henry Winkler got into Patrick Mahomes because his sons were into him and that's how he, you know, he never wasn't even, he wasn't even into football before Mahomes.

298
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Okay. Okay. Keep that name in your head for after the next break.

299
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Henry Winkler?

300
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Yes.

301
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Okay. All right. Let's.

302
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Anyway, keep going.

303
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Okay. So anyhow, I think it's unjust criticism on that one.

304
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000
You may say a lot of things about him, but I think that that's nitpicking and leave him alone.

305
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000
So real quick, I want to mention this.

306
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Aldi announced that the company has become the first major US retailer to eliminate plastic shopping bags.

307
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Remember our articles we've been doing for a long time.

308
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,000
It started with Topher about how microplastics and nanoplastics are everywhere and they're going through us.

309
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Yes.

310
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And they can identify as cells.

311
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Well, as a human cell.

312
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
You just talked about that.

313
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Yeah, the water bottles.

314
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Well, Aldi is starting to do something about it.

315
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
They're eliminating all plastic bags, which is a good start.

316
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Shoppers will need to bring.

317
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Aldi's did?

318
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Yeah, Aldi's did.

319
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Yes. And Aldi's a good store.

320
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
I mean, a lot of people dog them. Oh, it's cheap stuff or something like that.

321
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
You know what? Some people, that's all they can afford.

322
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
It's a good thing.

323
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Some people, that's what they get.

324
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
I just made it sound Aldi's. I got a bath.

325
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
For.

326
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
My family.

327
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
For cheaper stuff is quality stuff.

328
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And I think it's great that they offer healthy forms of food to lower income.

329
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Yeah, they do.

330
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000
It's a good thing.

331
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000
So shoppers will need to bring their reusable bags or purchase a reusable bag at the checkout.

332
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:30,000
The supermarket chain said its goal was to remove all plastic shopping bags from its stores by the end of 2023.

333
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
And they seem to appear to have done it.

334
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
So Aldi, we salute you.

335
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
And we're going to be right back in a couple of minutes with some more stuff.

336
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
We'll talk to you guys in a minute.

337
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
As much fun as an electric can opener to the scrotum.

338
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Two douche bags in a microphone.

339
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000
The apocalypse just happened.

340
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
You don't know what to do.

341
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
You don't know where to go.

342
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
But we can tell you what you can eat.

343
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,000
The wild violet is an unsung hero.

344
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Most people don't realize that the flower can be stewed to make a delicious vinegar for the fresh greens that can be picked in your front yard.

345
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Violet soap can be easily made as well.

346
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000
The flower is full of many essential minerals as well as vitamin A, C, and E.

347
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
It is literally one of the first superfoods.

348
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
And now, deep thoughts with Mark.

349
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Let's see here.

350
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
A package of eight hot dogs.

351
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
A package of ten hot dog buns.

352
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
I would have to buy ten packs of hot dogs and eight packs of buns to even it out.

353
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Should I buy them at once?

354
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Should I freeze them?

355
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Or just continue to zigzag them and hope for the best?

356
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
I hate adulting.

357
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Hey look, I think we found land.

358
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Oh my god, I think we're safe.

359
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Oh no, it's the island of horrible jokes.

360
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Where do polar bears keep their money?

361
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
In a snow bank.

362
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:32,000
When taking a shower, remember to scrub your asshole with soapy water because nobody likes a stinky asshole.

363
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.

364
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:54,000
You have the personality of a soggy newspaper.

365
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Why two douchebags and a microphone? Because two fuck-notes and a recorder was taken.

366
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Two douchebags and a microphone. My name is Mark.

367
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000
And I'm Bob.

368
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Hey everybody. Thanks for joining us tonight.

369
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:32,000
I got a story about Mick Mars and the lawsuit that he filed against Motley Crue.

370
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Oh cool.

371
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Yeah, we've been following this for quite a while and I think it's a good one.

372
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Yeah, we have. We have. We have.

373
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Anyone that lists this program for any time at all knows that we are on Mick Mars' side all the way.

374
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:55,000
We think that Mick Mars, in our opinion, was done wrong and it's bullshit and they're trying to X him out of all this money.

375
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:13,000
When he was the guy that probably came up with all this music because by all these articles I read, Doc McGee, Nicky Sixx, you know when Doc McGee was going to produce Dr. Feelgood, Nicky Sixx didn't even know how to play bass.

376
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:20,000
He didn't play them on the first three or four albums. Someone else played on those according to the articles that I read.

377
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:27,000
So who came up with the music? It wasn't Nicky Sixx. He couldn't play. It had to be Mick Mars.

378
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:40,000
And them doing that to him, in our opinion, was shitty and not right and just downright just a nasty way of doing things, right?

379
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Yeah. Yeah, just low budget, dirty, nasty. So anyhow, I've got a follow up.

380
00:33:48,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Mick Mars scored a victory in his ongoing legal battle with Motley Crue Tuesday when a Los Angeles judge agreed that the rock veterans had unjustly refused to cough up the dirt on its wide ranging business dealings

381
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,000
as it simultaneously sought to oust its founding guitarist early last year.

382
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:21,000
In a new court ruling obtained by Rolling Stone, the judge said the band's stonewalling left Mars with no choice but to sue for the corporate documents last April.

383
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:30,000
The Los Angeles judge noted that after the filing, the band took eight months to make a final sizable document dump to Mars last month.

384
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Citing the delay, the judge ruled that Mars is now entitled to have the band cover his legal bills.

385
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:49,000
The requests were not burdensome, yet Mars was compelled to file suit and it appears plain that production would not have occurred without it.

386
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Mars is entitled to attorney fees, Los Angeles Superior Court James C. Sheffield said in his Tuesday ruling.

387
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The judge noted that when the band produced some of the requested documents on November 2nd, it gave assurances this was all of the responsive documents in Motley Crue's possession.

388
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:22,000
That proved to be wrong, Judge Sheffield wrote, pointing to articles of incorporation and income tax returns that only arrived among 1,372 pages of records delivered in early December.

389
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:29,000
So, what this means, I could read on, but I think everyone could kind of get what that means, you know.

390
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:41,000
What it means is, Mick Mars is having his, by having to go out of his way to get all the documents, cost him all this money and legal,

391
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:49,000
this means that Motley Crue had to pay his legal to do that because they would not cough up the documents necessary,

392
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
and they stonewalled and took a long time is what this judge is saying, what they were doing was a-

393
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
That's only right. That's only right.

394
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:06,000
And this is key for the whole case, because if that went Mars' way, I don't see how anything else could not go Mars' way,

395
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:14,000
because all these documents in the stonewalling would prove that they're hiding something in my opinion, right? Wouldn't you think that?

396
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Yeah, I mean-

397
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Yeah, go ahead Rob.

398
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,000
They're taking credit for stuff he has done.

399
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Yes, and I think-

400
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
As they grew.

401
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Yes.

402
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And then they want to give him the boot, and they still take the credit. No, that's just wrong.

403
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:41,000
I just don't understand where this mindset came from, because Nicky Sixx used to be one of my idols, I just loved the guy, just thought he was so cool,

404
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:52,000
and he was the anti-everything that I hated about corporate America and all that, and he was like the outlaw, the guy that waved his middle finger at everybody and said,

405
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
No, I'm going to do things my way. Fuck you all.

406
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:05,000
And then all of a sudden, this thing that he said he was never going to be, he is. Litigious, stick in the mud, trying to-

407
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:15,000
This is all my opinion, trying to screw people over, being an asshole, having inflated opinions of everything and of yourself.

408
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:32,000
You know, having someone like him comment on Twitter, X, whatever, about morality, or him saying something, and this isn't pro or con Trump,

409
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:39,000
but him saying something about Trump, I'm looking at him and thinking, Dude, wait a minute, what the fuck are you doing?

410
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Right.

411
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Yeah, who are you to be pointing fingers when you're sitting there screwing this guy over that you're supposed to have started this band with,

412
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,000
that you could have never even got close to if it wasn't for that guy's brilliance on guitar?

413
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:01,000
And it's insane to think that someone would even try to do that.

414
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,000
So I think, go Mick Mars and I can't wait until he runs them in the ground.

415
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:16,000
One of his two new songs, one of them is okay, the second song, The Right Side of Wrong, is brilliant.

416
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:25,000
And if all of the songs are somewhere around that line, he's already beat Motley Crue in the last 15, 20 years with two songs.

417
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,000
He had two quality songs out when Motley Crue has not had a quality song, in my opinion, in 25 years.

418
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
They don't even write music anymore, I don't think.

419
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:44,000
I think that's what John 5 is there for, to write music, because it's just been a bunch of garbage, what they've done.

420
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000
And then everything he's done outside of Motley Crue has been garbage.

421
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000
So anyhow, Motley Crue will never have a hit again because they cannot write them.

422
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Unless John 5 figures it out and figures out the formula, you're not going to get another song probably from Motley Crue.

423
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:10,000
And if you do the last two songs, they're going to be those horrible songs like that, that they claim, oh it's so good, it's so heavy, it's so dark, it's so brooding.

424
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000
No, it's just not really good music. You've heard it, haven't you?

425
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Yeah, I have. It's not Motley.

426
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
No, it's not that good and it's not Motley.

427
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,000
And the reason it's not Motley is because it's not Mick Mars.

428
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Mick Mars' guitar is what made Motley Crue.

429
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Yes, ding ding ding.

430
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Yes, so anyhow, I think that's a major victory for Mick Mars and I say yay.

431
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:49,000
I'm very happy for him and I hope he wins this whole thing because I think in my opinion he has been done horribly.

432
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,000
And I hope he gets his just and his money and Motley has to leave with egg on their face.

433
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,000
I know they got some from this ruling. So anyhow, pretty cool.

434
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:09,000
So Rob, you went back to work today after a little hiatus. Everything went pretty well, huh?

435
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of crazy. We were off for two and a half weeks around Christmas.

436
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Christmas to New Year's, went back on the third. We worked three days, had two days off for the weekend.

437
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And then we worked five days and we had four days off because of the cold weather these past couple days.

438
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Yeah, and I mean really it was like what we talked about, you know, a lot of the manufacturers do this this time of year.

439
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Which we don't get because we work in a shop with heaters. Why couldn't we work?

440
00:40:46,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Well, here's I told you what I knew about it, you know, being around the industry for 37 years, not quite that industry, but other, you know, that type of work kind of construction out in the field.

441
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Okay, whenever a shop hires somebody, it's my understanding after you do everything and get everything done, the interviews, the background checks, the payroll, everything done, it costs about $10,000.

442
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:27,000
And I remember an old boss telling me this. He said, you know, he said, the problem is we could lay these people off, right?

443
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:32,000
But we don't want to because we train these people and someone else is going to get them.

444
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,000
He said nine times out of ten, they get another job. And then when you call her like, you guys laid me off, I ain't going back there.

445
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,000
You know, this guy's giving me work all the time. So, you know, they don't get the guy back.

446
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:51,000
So they spent $10,000 hiring this guy, trained him, and then he goes somewhere else to work.

447
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:59,000
They consider that like wasting money. So the way you go around that is like what you said, you know, that they'll give you a couple of days off here and there.

448
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:06,000
And then you go get unemployment if you wish. And it's a great way to get around laying people off until the busy season hits again.

449
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:14,000
So yeah, yeah. And see that that's what they're doing. They got us signed up for work share through unemployment.

450
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:22,000
So we work two, three days. They let us off for two, three days. Unemployment gives us our money.

451
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,000
It just, unfortunately, they give you 60% of your daily wage.

452
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Oh, I didn't know that. It wasn't 100% of the day.

453
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no. It's like 60%, dude.

454
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:44,000
And then if you opt to have taxes taken out of it, like I do, that way I can stay on the up and up.

455
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Yeah, you don't want to owe at the end of the year.

456
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:55,000
I'm going to pay 10% for taxes. So you're down to 50%. I just had two days off. I'm going to collect on. I'm going to collect one day's pay.

457
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,000
One day pay. Okay, I didn't know that.

458
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,000
So I'm still short of that.

459
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Now I see what the problem is, Rob. I didn't know that.

460
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:07,000
But, but, but, you know, you got to give it to the company. They're at least trying to help us.

461
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Yeah, they are trying.

462
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:16,000
We are a little slow right now. We have some work. So, you know, we could kind of afford to take a couple days off.

463
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Chances are they're just like waiting for these spring orders to come in. They usually probably come in late February, March when people start getting that itch.

464
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Oh, hey, man. Yeah. Yeah.

465
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Summer's around the corner. People are going to start buying boats. So we got to get, oh, hey, here's a couple of orders. And all of a sudden you're in the busy season again. So yeah, I get it.

466
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Yeah, I mean, we, yeah, we still have orders going out. It's not, we're not going. I actually get to kind of relax, you know, and take my time right now. Kind of enjoying it and it might ruin me.

467
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Because when things kick up, I'm not going to be ready to pick up.

468
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Oh, absolutely. Yep.

469
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Well, by then, by then I'll have another birthday. My birthday's March 5th. I'll be 55.

470
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
All right.

471
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Yeah. So yeah, it's time for me to start slowing down a little bit. But I can still kick ass when I need to, you know?

472
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know what? I mean, you're lucky at 55 you're able to do what you were doing at a much younger age. So that's, there's a lot to be said about that.

473
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Yeah, definitely. Definitely.

474
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Why? You know, in related news, trying to make ends meet and trying to live and everything, they came out with an interesting study a couple of weeks ago. It's about Gen Z and about how they are all moving in with each other or with family or whatever because of the price of housing.

475
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Listen to this. 31% of Gen Z live at home with a parent or family member.

476
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:03,000
24% of renters in America say they can no longer afford their rent.

477
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:13,000
38% of renters are sacrificing necessities to pay their rent, including older generations.

478
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:31,000
The rising cost of housing is keeping many Gen Zers from living on their own. A recent Credit Karma survey in 1249 US adults found that 31% of Gen Z live at home with a parent or other family members.

479
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:43,000
And this number could go up. Among Gen Zers that have left the nest, 27% told Credit Karma that they can no longer afford their rent. The struggle to make the rent is...

480
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,000
No, I was just going to, I was just simply going to say I totally understand that.

481
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Yes, I mean, this is a very...

482
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Being somebody that rents, I don't own, I rent.

483
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:10,000
This is a horrible problem and it's a very complex problem. For one thing, you want our dollar to be valuable, you can't be printing all this money that they're doing.

484
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:20,000
And you print this money, it's just not worth that much. It's just like, you know, there's plenty of copper, you know, I mean, well, I think the price of copper went up.

485
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:32,000
There's not that much gold, there's not that many rubies or emeralds, titanium. The stuff that really commands money is not that prevalent. You just don't flood the market with it.

486
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:42,000
And we have been flooding the market with this fake money pretty much for years and years and years. And it's getting to where our money is getting worthless.

487
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:55,000
And people that don't understand this, I, you know, you really need to start looking at the economy and how money works and how the dollar works and how it goes up against the rest of the country.

488
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Because this is a serious thing. And it's only going to get worse. Inflation and the cost of housing and nobody being able to afford anything.

489
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:14,000
It's getting worse because nobody, nobody is trying to curb spending right now. And it's very scary.

490
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Okay, so rising housing costs aren't just impacting America's youngest adults. In total, 24% of American adults, regardless of age, can no longer afford to pay their rent, according to this survey.

491
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:37,000
So 24% of adults cannot pay their rent, Rob. That's almost one quarter.

492
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,000
I can understand that. I can understand that.

493
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,000
That's scary as hell. One quarter of America cannot pay their rent. One quarter of them.

494
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:58,000
And while that percentage is more pronounced among Gen Z, it is highest among millennials, 30% of whom told Credit Karma, they can no longer make rent.

495
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:10,000
10% of America, Americans 69 and older say they are struggling to make rent payments. Multiple factors have contributed to rising housing prices, including inflation.

496
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Like I was saying, a boom in demand and low inventory according to bank rate.

497
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:27,000
While rent prices... Go ahead. Oh, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. I'll give you my thoughts at the end. Okay. I only have a little bit more to go.

498
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:42,000
While rent prices have slightly dropped, the median cost of housing is still too much for many Americans. The median housing rent fell from $1,937 a month in March last year, according to the real estate outlet, but without very much.

499
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:50,000
It only fell like a few dollars. And quite frankly, that's just not going to do it. So Rob, go ahead with your thoughts.

500
00:48:50,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Okay. My thoughts. Companies want to pay you $17, $18 an hour. Maybe $20 if you're lucky. Yeah. Correct? Correct. That's probably on average.

501
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Well, I don't know about the city, but down here, the average two bedroom apartment, $850, $950 a month. That's cheap for up here, Rob.

502
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:34,000
And you get up to like $1,200 for a two bedroom. Yeah. I see where they are coming from. In order to do that, you have to have like three incomes.

503
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:47,000
You still got to be able to pay your car insurance, your fuel and everything to get back and forth to work. Plus you got to eat. You got to have your life. I understand. I understand 100%.

504
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Utilities are up considerably. Everything is up. Everything. That's the next thing that I'm going to look at and do a study on.

505
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Look, I know we tell dick jokes and fart jokes here, but every now and then we can be serious, right?

506
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:19,000
We got to be. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I mean, we're, look, when we take our break, you're going to hear like, I don't know, horrible jokes and strange insults from aliens and, you know, deep thoughts with Mark and Rob ranning and stuff like that.

507
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:42,000
You're going to still hear the, what we think is funny stuff. Okay. But we can do serious segments in between. And anyhow, my next report is probably going to be how the, the difference of how much money you need to make to actually live in a two bedroom apartment.

508
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Like let's say it's you and your kid. Okay. So you're divorced and you have you and your son. Okay. And to live there, how much money you have to have, not including the childhood expenses.

509
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:04,000
So anyhow, that's going to be a few ones down because before then we got the hairy asshole Olympics coming back, Rob.

510
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:26,000
I know I'm working on my list. Oh, I got one. I got one that dude, you're going to really appreciate. It was brilliant. I actually, I actually woke up tonight. I ain't done yet. No, no, no. I'm not done yet either. I still have like five more names, but, um, oh, oh, by the way, yeah.

511
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Throw a band in there. We need a band. Oh, I already have. I have two bands. Alice and Change are getting lonely. They're only band one. We only had band one. Yeah.

512
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:51,000
Um, I've got two. We got to start having bands. I've got two bands in there. Alice and Change are lonely, dude. One band is just going to fight regular people and the other band I'm proud of it is going to go against Alice and Change and whoever you got.

513
00:51:51,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Well, well, what I would say, we put our bands up against each other. Okay. All right. Okay. We can do that. So anyhow, I'm thinking, I'll come up with a band. You come up with a band winner.

514
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Whenever we do our property show or Hall of Fame show, they go up against each other. That's what I would say. I've been a little slow on that. We need to start having bands too.

515
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Yeah, I've been a little slow on ass paddlers this month and I apologize. They, there's still plenty of people who need ass paddlers and I will get to them. Believe me, we will not miss them. So anyhow, so, and we got the hairy asshole Olympics coming up. So we still have plenty of bullshit for you guys. I mean, we're not this serious all the time.

516
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:55,000
So just calm down if you're like, Hey guys, what the hell are you doing? So anyhow, let's go ahead and take our first break and let's come back with some other stuff. That sound good, Rob? I know you've got a list or two you want to get to.

517
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll cover that when we come back.

518
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,000
All righty guys. We'll talk to you in a minute.

519
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:14,000
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.

520
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:25,000
Hi all. This is Mark here. I'm usually the one telling you what to eat during an apocalypse. Well, this time I decided to go the other way.

521
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:33,000
You ever considered just going to Ground Zero and saying fuck it? Do you really want to be the guy running around looking for radioactive deer?

522
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Guessing whether water is not contaminated or not. No food, no shelter, no nothing. Oh no, there's a strong argument that says, you know what? Let's just go to Ground Zero and see what's for us after. Just a thought.

523
00:53:47,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Hello. This is Satan. You might know me from my pet name, Inflation. I'm here to tell you that there's no better way to relax than listening to two douche bags and microphone by a nice warm fire at night.

524
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:16,000
I sit there and reflect on all the souls I burned that day. Enjoy.

525
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Brick Shit House Energy Drink. That's right. Brick Shit House Energy Drink. Make men feel good.

526
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:33,000
You want some balls? You want to fuck shit up? You want to force them across America? Brick Shit House is for you.

527
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Please enjoy Brick Shit House Energy Drink responsibly. It's not readily available anywhere. Because of liability issues.

528
00:54:40,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Douchebags and a microphone. That's right. Two douchebags and microphone. I'm Mark. And I'm Rob.

529
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:19,000
The reason I did that two times is because I think that it clipped on me at first. And if it didn't, then you're going to hear me say that two times. That simple. Now, Rob has a story.

530
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Yeah, I do. And for us older folks, it's going to take us back a ways. It's something that I didn't know.

531
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Me neither.

532
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Ron Howard nearly left Happy Days after Henry Winkler's popularity changed the course of the show.

533
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Howard almost quit when producers floated the idea of calling the hit show Fonzie's Happy Days.

534
00:55:50,000 --> 00:56:01,000
In an effort to capitalize on fans' love for Winkler's character, Arthur Herbert, the Fonz, sponsored a rally.

535
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:11,000
They came to me at ABC and they wanted to change the title to Fonzie's Happy Days, Winkler told the New York Times.

536
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:22,000
They said, if you do that, it's an insult to everybody I'm working with. Why fix something that isn't broken? We are really good.

537
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:32,000
I live in the family and that's why I'm successful. I'm asking you, if you never listen to me again, leave it alone.

538
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Howard told producers he would leave even though he was contractually obligated to continue filming the show.

539
00:56:46,000 --> 00:57:00,000
But I told him, if you really want to change the name of the show to that, I would rather go back to USC and film school and what I was doing before the show launched, he recalled.

540
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Winkler previously shared how his rise to popularity tested his friendship with ours, who starred as Richie Cunningham on the show.

541
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:24,000
I was very aware, having to be less than respectful to him, Winkler told Fox News Digital.

542
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:39,000
I was always careful not to flaunt anything that was happening to me on the sound stage in front of the cast members, including him.

543
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:53,000
I'm lucky, my character's popularity was happening, but I was a member of an ensemble which was higher than Bragg.

544
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Cool. Wow.

545
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:12,000
That was on Fox News. Yeah, you said Fox Digital, so I figured that was Fox News. Wow.

546
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,000
I didn't know they were actually thought about changing that.

547
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:28,000
Well, and also it kind of shows you that Ron Howardad even had an ego back then being Richie Cunningham.

548
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Yeah, well see that's the thing. He was supposed to be the star of the show, but Fonzie's character took off.

549
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Yeah, it took over everything because his persona was so larger than life. Everyone went around saying, hey, sit on it.

550
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:59,000
We were young and just thought that was so cool. He greased his hair back, wore leather and was the anti everything.

551
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,000
He was the rebel. Yeah, the rebel.

552
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:11,000
He had a very cool character. So, anyhow, Ron Howard was the only thing he had under his belt was Richie Cunningham.

553
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:19,000
He already had an ego. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, I just find that interesting at that level that he had an ego like that.

554
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Where he's like, hey guys, you change your name and I'm out.

555
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:31,000
So, anyhow, it worked. They listened to him because when Ron Howard did leave and they brought his stupid cousin in, the show was done.

556
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Although, that's where the net. When Fonzie jumped the shark, that's where the term jumping the shark comes from.

557
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:50,000
Like it's ruined now, the show's ruined. It's like, oh hey man, do you watch that new sitcom? And someone goes, oh man, it jumped the shark.

558
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:57,000
What it's referring to is Fonzie jumping the shark. That's what most people consider that we're fans of the show.

559
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,000
That the show officially pretty much should have ended and it was done.

560
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:10,000
So, I think it was done a little bit before jumping the shark. Yeah, the shark should have eaten him on that one. Yeah, yeah.

561
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:17,000
So, my opinion. No, but then they did Joni Loves Chachi and that blew.

562
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:26,000
So, anyhow. Have you ever wondered where some of these old sayings came from?

563
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Like, you know, I did this stuff like Stitching Time Saves Nine, right? Stuff like that. Yeah, yeah.

564
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:40,000
I've got some more of these that hopefully people will find interesting.

565
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Have you heard the term cook someone's goose? Yes, I have. Yeah.

566
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Or someone's goose is cooked, it means they're done. It's like, oh man, they're done now. Yeah, his goose is cooked.

567
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:05,000
The origin, the most commonly written about origin is that when a man called Jan Hoose, H-U-S, in early 15th century religion.

568
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Yeah, okay. Let me try that again. An early 15th century religious reformer was on his deathbed and proclaimed that his goose would now be cooked.

569
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:29,000
Supposedly, H-U-S translated as goose in English. Okay. Yeah, so he said this goose is cooked. So, he said he was dying. Yeah, pretty much.

570
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:38,000
So, that is where that originated. So, how about make it a beeline? That means like you're going somewhere with a purpose, right?

571
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Yeah, I've kind of wondered that. Yeah, yeah. Like, let's say someone come by and grab your wallet, okay?

572
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:55,000
And someone saw them and they go, yeah, yeah, I've seen Jimmy over there grab your wallet. You make a beeline to him.

573
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:00,000
I mean, you're just like they're on a mission. You've got to go get that. You're like, hey, what the hell did you do? Yeah.

574
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Okay, so, make a beeline. Meaning, head straight for someone, something with a wavering purpose.

575
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Origin, as you'd imagine, this comes from the behavior of bees. When a forager bee discovers a source of nectar, it comes back to the hive to let the others know where to go.

576
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:32,000
It performs a waggle dance. The angle of the waggle shows the direction of the source and the length of the run shows the distance from the hive.

577
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:42,000
So, that is where make a beeline. You knew that? Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, I know that about bees.

578
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:49,000
Oh, okay, okay. Well, that just makes sense. I mean, it- Yeah, yeah, that makes perfect sense to me.

579
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Yeah, yeah, I never knew where that originated from. I kind of figured it was something about bees, but I didn't know for sure.

580
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:06,000
Okay, how about crocodile tears, right? And that means someone's faking like they're sad or something. Right, right.

581
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Yeah, so- Crying crocodile tears. Yep. Meaning, like politicians do a lot of crocodile tears. No, no, no, no, televangelists do a lot of crocodile tears.

582
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:28,000
Okay, meaning tears are- Yeah, just go on. No, no, no, I'm not mentioning any names. Everyone has their names. I know, I know, just go on. Just go on.

583
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:35,000
Okay, meaning tears- We went overboard, well, I went overboard last night.

584
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Tears that are believed to be unreal, not through remorse. Origin, in ancient times where there was a notion that crocodiles wept while they ate their prey.

585
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:56,000
Well, it's true they have the ability to produce tears. They do so purely to lubricate their eyes, not through sadness or remorse.

586
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:09,000
So, there you go. Okay. Yeah, people thought because their eyes were tearing up that they felt bad for eating their prey. No, they're lubricating their eyes, dumbasses.

587
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Come on, crocodiles. How the hell are they going to feel bad about eating?

588
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:26,000
They're not going to because they're doing what they're supposed to do naturally. They find their prey and they eat it. That's what they do. That's how they stay alive.

589
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:33,000
They don't feel bad about that. It's just a way of life. It's just like you and I go grab a burger down somewhere. We don't think about it.

590
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:41,000
We're like, oh man, hey, where are you going to get it? I'm going to get the number three. I think I'm going to get the number seven.

591
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Same thing with them. They're just doing what they're supposed to do. They're eating to stay alive. So, cold turkey. Meaning, suddenly withdraw from something a person is addicted to without preparation.

592
01:04:54,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Origin. Another pesky wisdom without a clear history, but one with a few interesting possibilities. One suggestion is that it comes from the idea that cold turkey is a meal that requires little preparation.

593
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:21,000
Another is that it's a reference to the time after Christmas when cold turkey is traditionally eaten signaling the end of festive period during which many people drink too much.

594
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense.

595
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:45,000
So, okay, the last one I have here, and I never heard this too much. I heard it in passing, but I never really knew what it meant. I'll ask you. Cock and bull story.

596
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Yeah, I want to hear this one too.

597
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Yeah, I never heard it used that much where I was at, but I do know it was some sort of a, you know.

598
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:07,000
Back with my dad and his buddies, I heard it. It was more way back in the day.

599
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:18,000
You know what? I think you're right. It was an old insane, kind of like a Stitchin' Times saves nine. Was an old sane. I mean, it was a real old sane.

600
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:26,000
So, okay. Well, anyhow, cock and bull story. Meaning, an unbelievable story thought to be made up.

601
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:37,000
Origin. Based on the meaning of this idiom, we were quite happy to discover that there are plenty of stories around the origin of this phrase.

602
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Many of them unbelievable. One suggests the phrase comes from a time when coaches used to carry travelers to two ends, the cock and the bull.

603
01:06:48,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Along the old London Road, the Stony Stratford rivalries between the occupants of the ends arose, and these resulted in boastful tales of being told.

604
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:17,000
So, that one's kind of, eh, okay. I can't say I really necessarily believe any of those two. They really didn't really punch through or make that much sense to me. What about you?

605
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,000
All I can say is I'm not even touching this story.

606
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Okay, there we go.

607
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,000
I can make too much damn fun of it.

608
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
Go ahead. I didn't like it at all.

609
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,000
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

610
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Okay. And finally here.

611
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Come on, that's too easy, cock and bull.

612
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,000
It is too easy. You're right.

613
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Too easy.

614
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,000
Yep. Okay, I got one last thing for us here.

615
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:56,000
And I was supposed to get this a long time ago, but anyhow, I'm just going to go ahead and shove it out there. And hopefully you guys appreciate it.

616
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Ozzy Osborne says he can't have any more surgery. I've had seven surgeries in five years.

617
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Ozzy and Sharon Osborne, along with their children Jack and Kelly, have released the 18th episode of their Revive podcast.

618
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Ozzy is joined by friend Billy Morrison for an electrifying episode diving deep into the essence of rock and roll.

619
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:25,000
From heart-stopping tour tales to candid conversations about addiction, battles, and the ever-involving music scene.

620
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,000
This episode unearths the unseen facets of their storied careers.

621
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:36,000
Get ready for rock and roll revelations and reminisce about reflecting about changing landscape of rock.

622
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:46,000
So anyhow, Ozzy said that reflecting on the last surgery he had in September 2023, Ozzy said,

623
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:52,000
When I came out of surgery, I said to Sharon, whatever I'm going to be at right now, that's it. I can't have any more surgery.

624
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,000
I've had seven surgeries in five years. He added, it's a slow recovery.

625
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:04,000
I'm not as young as I used to be. So the recovery, like anything, is going to take much longer.

626
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Also, Ozzy voiced his desire to get back on stage in 2024, saying, I'm going to try my hardest to get well and do a few gigs.

627
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:22,000
So anyhow, and in addition to that, this article didn't go into that, but one of the problems that Ozzy had was,

628
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,000
when they went in for the spinal surgery, they found a tumor.

629
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:33,000
And they had to dig the tumor out, which is not an easy surgery.

630
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Okay, well, I just read a story about the tumor. I did not read the story you were saying.

631
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,000
Okay, go ahead.

632
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Yeah, I read about it. No, I'm just saying, I read that, yeah, he had a tumor.

633
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,000
Oh, okay, I got you. It just wasn't anything.

634
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,000
It was a totally different story.

635
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Well, there's a lot of stories around about him having a tumor because people reported it,

636
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:07,000
because he actually came out with it earlier this year. He didn't come out with it last year.

637
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,000
He finally talked about it this year, saying, hey, they also found a tumor in there.

638
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,000
But I believe that, yeah, I'm pretty sure.

639
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Yeah, I just read this like a couple days ago.

640
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Okay, I'm pretty sure it's benign because they haven't said anything about it.

641
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Oh, shit, I got to go in for chemotherapy or nothing.

642
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,000
So I think it's a benign tumor, but still they had to dig it out of his spine, which can't be easy.

643
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,000
So anyhow.

644
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
That's why he's welcome to the game.

645
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:40,000
Yeah, yep, yep. So anyhow, that's the end of this podcast.

646
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Hey, can I throw in one more story?

647
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Yeah, absolutely.

648
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000
It's a little time sensitive.

649
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Is that time sensitive?

650
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,000
No, go ahead.

651
01:10:53,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Tony Orlando is hanging up the mic following a career that has spanned more than six decades.

652
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:11,000
The musician is stepping away from the road on Monday announcing that Tony Orlando Farewell Tour will kick off this month

653
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:24,000
before capping with his final concert on March 22nd at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

654
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,000
Cool. I didn't even know he was still playing.

655
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,000
I didn't even know he was still playing.

656
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Yeah, yeah, he has been.

657
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,000
He has been. That's excellent. Cool.

658
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:55,000
The Tony Orlando Farewell Tour will begin with a three-night stand at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas on January 19th, 20th, and 21st.

659
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Cool.

660
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Today's the 17th, so that's why I want to get this in.

661
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:10,000
No, that's cool. And I love that information because I am a fan of Tony Orlando. I thought he was a very good singer.

662
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,000
I don't know what happened to Dawn, though. Remember?

663
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,000
I have met Tony Orlando and shook his hand and talked to him.

664
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:20,000
Oh, cool. Is he a cool guy?

665
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Oh, he's a great guy.

666
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Cool.

667
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:33,000
You remember when I told you my ex-wife was at Sting's server on Jim Baker's new TV show out of Branson?

668
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Yeah, yeah.

669
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:41,000
He was a guest one day, and I was there. I met him. He's a cool dude.

670
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:51,000
I figured he would be, and I am a fan of his. I just wanted to know what happened to Dawn because Tony Orlando and Dawn were a big thing for a long time.

671
01:12:51,000 --> 01:13:05,000
And is she still alive? Were they together and split up? Did they just decide to do separate things? It's just something that piqued my curiosity, and I was just wondering.

672
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:11,000
Okay, well, I'll tell you what. That's now on my homework.

673
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:17,000
All right. That and the hairy-ass Olympics. The hairy-ass Olympics.

674
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Oh, yeah. That's been on my homework.

675
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Yep. I got like five more names to produce, but I'm working on them.

676
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,000
That's about what I have.

677
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Plus a band. Plus a band.

678
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:41,000
So, here in the next couple of podcasts, yeah, and a band, too, we are going to be doing the hairy-ass Olympics again. So, anyhow, thank you all for listening. Have a great night.

679
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:46,000
Good night, everybody.

680
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Hey, where did everybody go? Where are the douchebags?

681
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:01,000
Hmm.

682
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Oh my God, someone took a dump in the corner. Oh, geez.

683
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Ugh, I'm glad they're gone. Let's just hope they don't come back. Man, that smells.
